Chapter 13 Yuanshui Cottage

Cangyun Sect, Samsara Peak, Yuanshui Cottage.

Yuanshui Cottage is where the elder of Cangyun Sect, Master Jingshui, and her disciples live. It is very quiet and is located southwest of the disciples' houses on the hillside of Samsara Peak. It is high up and overlooks the entire Samsara Peak.

According to the system of Cangyun Sect, the higher the place you live, the higher you are in the sect. This Yuanshui Cottage is located southwest of the front mountain of Samsara Peak. Those who live at this height are all important elders in the sect, such as Taoist Yunhe, the law enforcement elder of the Discipline Court, and Master Jingxuan, Gu Paner's master.

As for the shabby little courtyard where Ye Xiaochuan and his master, Taoist Zui, live, it is one level lower than this Yuanshui Cottage. From this, it can be seen that Taoist Zui's status in Cangyun Sect is not as good as that of Master Jingxuan, Master Jingshui, Taoist Yunhe and other respected elders of Cangyun Sect.

Yuanshui Xiaozhu is the place where Master Jingshui practiced in seclusion. In addition, there are more than ten of her female disciples and maids. For thousands of years, Yuanshui Xiaozhu has been passed down from generation to generation by female disciples, and there are no male disciples.

Behind the exquisite and elegant house of Yuanshui Xiaozhu, across a mountain wall and a huge rock, there is a stone pavilion built on a cliff. It is located in the south of Lunhui Peak and is called Qingluan Pavilion. It is said that it was built by the second-generation disciple of Cangyun Sect, Fairy Qingluan, for moon watching.

At night, this Qingluan Pavilion is particularly quiet. Because it is located between the steep cliffs of thousands of feet, the clouds and smoke are everywhere under the feet. Under the moonlight, it is like a fairyland on earth.

Late at night, cold moon, ancient pine, night wind.

Yun Qiyou, dressed in white as white as snow, sat on the wooden bench of Qingluan Pavilion, one hand resting on the wooden railing beside her to support her cheek, and the other hand gently stroking the moonlight flowing down from the sky. The moonlight seemed to have life at this moment, gently entwining between her, gentle and comfortable.

The backlash of practicing Beidou Zhushen Sword Art in the back mountain that night seemed to have no effect on Yun Qiyou. Her face was as white as warm jade, and her beauty was almost suffocating.

At her feet, leaning on the Zhanchen Divine Sword, the divine sword bathed in the moonlight seemed to emit a faint white glow.

This person and sword, both are so unbearable to look directly at.

Dengdeng...

There were footsteps on the dilapidated wooden stairs. Yun Qiyou slowly turned around and saw a young woman in aqua green clothes coming up. The woman looked about 20 years old, very beautiful, tall, and extraordinary, especially her eyes, which were not as cold as Yun Qiyou's, but seemed full of energy and vitality.

The green-clothed woman came up and said, "Junior sister, I guessed you were here."

Yun Qiyou said, "Senior sister, why are you here?"

The green-clothed woman turned out to be the eldest disciple of Master Jingshui, Ning Xiangruo, who had been famous for decades and was known as the Green Willow Fairy. Over the past few decades, countless demons from the Demon Cult had died tragically under her Green Ivy Sword.

Ning Xiangruo walked to Yun Qiyou's side and sat on the wooden bench, saying: "Master told me about you. I know that you failed again when you tried to use the Beidou Zhushen Sword Art a few days ago. Master knows that you are introverted and is afraid that you may be upset, so he asked me to come and talk to you."

Yun Qiyou said softly: "Thank you for your concern, senior sister. It's my own fault that I let Master down."

Ning Xiangruo smiled bitterly and said: "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? You became Master's disciple at the age of twelve, and you are only twenty-three this year. You only spent eleven years to achieve the hard work that most people spend decades or even hundreds of years practicing. Take me for example, I have been learning from Master for thirty years, but my cultivation is not as good as yours. How can you disappoint Master with your achievements today? She is so happy!"

Yun Qiyou lowered his head and said: "But, but more than two months later, it was the inner sect. In the disciple test, if I still can't control the Beidou Zhushen Sword Art, I will most likely be defeated by Senior Brother Gu Jianchi. I promised Master that I would definitely get the first place in this internal test, but now... hey..." Ning Xiangruo said: "You silly girl, you are too competitive. Senior Brother Gu is the eldest disciple of the head master uncle, and he will take over the entire Cangyun Sect in the future. Why do you have to compete with him? This time the internal competition is just to select those who participate in the Duantian Cliff's battle of righteousness and evil. It's enough to get a quota, and you don't have to care about the ranking. Besides, with your current cultivation, I don't think you will lose to Senior Brother Gu. " Yun Qi humorously shook his head and said: "Senior Brother has studied Taoism for many years and has learned the true teachings of the head master uncle. Whether it is the understanding of the Cangyun Sword Art or the realm of Taoism, I can't compare with him. " Ning Xiangruo smiled bitterly, thinking that her little sister is good in everything, but she is too competitive, and she doesn't know how to comfort her. So, she changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this. Just let things take their own course in cultivation. Junior sister, you failed in the Beidou Zhushen a few days ago and suffered a backlash from yourself. How are you?"

Yun Qiyou shook his head silently and said, "Thank you for your concern, senior sister. I'm fine now."

At this point, she suddenly said, "Senior sister, do you know Ye Xiaochuan?"

Ning Xiangruo was startled and looked at Yun Qiyou in surprise. She didn't seem to understand why Yun Qiyou was only interested in cultivation, but was so strange tonight and asked about a young disciple of Cangyun Sect.

Then, Ning Xiangruo's face sank slightly, and she said nervously, "Junior sister, did Ye Xiaochuan provoke you? Did he steal something from you? I'll go and help you."

Yun Qiyou shook his head and said, "No, I just suddenly remembered that that day I met a young man at Siguoya in the back mountain. He said his name was Ye Xiaochuan."

Ning Xiangruo looked relaxed and said: "I see, I heard a few days ago that this kid sneaked into Gu Pan'er's room to steal things in the middle of the night, and alerted Uncle Jingxuan. Later, he was punished by Uncle Yunhe. I've been thinking about it for a while. Junior sister, please don't go to the back mountain in the past few months. This little naughty boy Ye Xiaochuan is not a serious person. Don't get too close to him."

Yun Qiyou became interested and asked his senior sister that Ye Xiaochuan was a disciple of Cangyun after all. Why did he sound like a treacherous person?

Ning Xiangruo knew that Yun Qiyou was devoted to cultivation and never asked about matters within the sect. She also wanted Yun Qiyou to know more about the current Cangyun Sect, so she explained patiently.

Said: "This Ye Xiaochuan was brought up from the mountain by Uncle Zui fifteen years ago. He was still a swaddling baby at that time. He was so cute and tight. How could Uncle Zui know how to take care of a child? He was one of our female disciples before he was three years old. He helped take care of her, but no one would have thought that as he got older, his character became more and more naughty. In recent years, he had become a nuisance to Cang Yun, gathering people to gamble, cheating, and molesting female disciples. The most disgusting thing was that this kid was greedy for money and lustful. , and often sneaks into female disciples’ rooms in the middle of the night to steal property or their intimate clothes. If he hadn’t offended Junior Sister Pan’er this time and alerted Senior Uncle Jingxuan, it would be really difficult to punish this kid.”

Yun Qiyou tilted his head and looked at Ning Xiangruo and said, "Senior sister, have you also been stolen by him?"

Ning Xiangruo was greatly embarrassed and coughed: "Ahem, how is that possible! No, no..."

"A sneeze! A sneeze..."

On the cliff behind the mountain, Ye Xiaochuan was meditating when his nose suddenly felt itchy and he sneezed several times.

He reached out and touched his nose and said to himself: "Who is saying bad things about me behind my back in the middle of the night?"
