Chapter 27 The Moon in the Cup
Listening to the music and enjoying the dance, Lu Lingqiu and Mu Qing chatted about their daily life sentence by sentence while waiting for the food to be served.
Originally, the arrangement inside the sect this afternoon was a meeting between the new disciples and the inner sect brothers and sisters. It was a social-like activity, or it could be understood as a "welcome meeting", but Mu Qing was not interested in "making friends with human monks"
I was not interested at all, and with the connivance of Senior Sister Bai Xue turning a blind eye, I didn't go.
Lu Lingqiu, on the other hand, doesn't like chaos, trouble, and noise. And the behavior of "Sect Disciple Association" completely hits on these "three dislikes", so it's even more impossible for him to go.
"Hey, it's so troublesome. Senior Sister Bai always looks at me with super strange eyes..." Mu Qing complained with a sad face: "Tell me, does she like women..."
"...Well, I'm not sure about this. But if she does something that embarrasses you, remember to refuse it immediately and contact me in time." Lu Lingqiu gave advice.
After all, although Mu Qing has advanced cultivation, she is completely childlike in nature. When it comes to interpersonal relationships, he is afraid that she will suffer.
Many people will test in advance and wait for an opportunity before making a very purposeful move. Once they find out that you have poor self-protection ability, they will take advantage of it and find ways to achieve it through various means. "If you propose it directly at first, you will definitely be rejected.
"the goal of.
Girls are especially easy to be fooled in this regard.
"Yeah! I know!" Seeing Lu Lingqiu's concerned look, Mu Qing felt slightly sweet.
"Is there anything fun you can do over there?" she asked.
"There are no fun things, but..." Lu Lingqiu suddenly remembered that the big incident about the water lotus destroying the formation that happened in the morning seemed to have not reached the little girl's ears. Otherwise, with her temperament, she would have started to ask the truth long ago.
Already...
He quickly changed the topic: "There is something rather strange. This morning, Deacon Gao from Yu Guifeng came to inform me that Xu Yunyao seemed to have taken the initiative to go to the elders to resign from the post of 'Ling Yue Twelve Morning Star'.
There may be someone new to take over this position in a few days, but I don’t know what happened.”
In the Lingyue Sect, the position of Twelve Morning Stars is the dream of all female disciples. Once you become a Morning Star, you will not only be able to control a peak and hold a high position, but also receive various benefits from the sect, such as a private cave, high-grade elixirs,
Better exercises, secrets, etc. Logically speaking, as long as there are no major mistakes, no one will take the initiative to resign.
Xu Yunyao must have encountered a big problem by doing this.
Hearing this topic, Mu Qing's smile froze, and she was obviously a little unnatural: "Ah...but, maybe it's Senior Sister Xu...something happened to her family...?"
"Well, maybe so." Lu Lingqiu didn't think much about it, both of them had their own thoughts.
Soon, under the hands of top chef Han Miaoling, a variety of delicious and delicious dishes were served to the table.
"This is the moon-roasted dish. It is based on fresh and tender shrimp paste, mixed with shredded fruits, vegetables and peppers, deep-fried and then topped with the special treasure of the restaurant - Jinyue Baiwei sauce. Try it while it's hot."
Han Miaoling personally placed the hot mooncake in front of the two of them.
"Ah um - good, delicious!" After Mu Qing took a bite, he quickly took a second bite with a spoon, and a third bite... He quickly ate from ear to ear, and his small cheeks were covered in
It's stuffed full and very cute.
"It's the taste of happiness!" the girl praised repeatedly.
Since her last immersive experience at the "Ruriuri Baimi Pavilion", she hasn't eaten such delicious food for a long time.
Lu Lingqiu took a sip of "Immortal Drunk" and nodded slightly: "It is indeed the spirit wine known as the 'No. 1 best-selling wine in Jinyue Tower'. It is mellow and refreshing, and has a long aftertaste. Yes, not bad."
"Hey, of course! Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll make it for you." Han Miaoling was very happy to hear that her products were praised.
She moved a chair to one side of the table, sat astride it, hugged the back of the chair with both hands, put her chin on the top of the chair, and smiled as she watched the brother and sister eat, not treating herself as an outsider at all.
Lu Lingqiu looked at the "Moon Burn" placed in front of Mu Qing, and suddenly remembered something. His heart moved, and he asked casually: "Senior Sister Han, I wonder what the name of this 'Moon Burn' comes from?"
"Moon roast? Hmm..." Han Miaoling thought for a while, "This is a recipe that was passed down from my grandma a long time ago. I only know how to make it. As for its origin... I'm really not sure."
She didn't know why Lu Lingqiu asked this. When she was wondering, she heard him ask again:
"Then have you ever seen the moon?"
On one side, the female cultivator playing the harp finished playing a piece, and the sound of the strings stopped. The dancers also stopped dancing and took a short break.
A breeze blew outside the window, bringing with it a bit of the coolness and chill of early winter.
Although there was a spiritual formation in Jinyue Tower to keep warm, Han Miaoling felt a little cold for some reason.
"No."
she replied.
Upon hearing this answer, Lu Lingqiu paused at the wine glass he was holding in mid-air.
Mu Qing also put down the chopsticks in his hand and slowly turned his head with shock in his eyes.
"There's none?"
He wanted to confirm again.
"Hmm. As for the moon, isn't it only recorded in ancient books?"
Han Miaoling looked serious and didn't seem to be lying: "It's common sense.
Everyone knows that it is something made up from fairy tales."
…
When we left Jinyue Tower, it was already the setting sun and the sky was getting dark.
Lu Lingqiu and Mu Qing were walking on the way back to Silver Gong Peak. They were silent as they had their own thoughts.
There is a certain distance between the twelve peaks of Lingyue. If you don't use the art of controlling the air, it will take less than half an hour to cross the peaks by walking. Lu Lingqiu was not worried about the girl going back alone, so he decided to see her off in person.
Han Miaoling's words from before are still in my ears.
According to her, the existence of the "moon" was recorded in the ancient book "Cup Moon". This book is not a technique or a secret book, it is just a story about the battle between gods and demons written by the ancients. If
If you want to read it, you can find the manuscript on the first floor of the Hidden Star Palace.
Most people's impressions of the moon are formed based on a few descriptions in this book:
"The white jade on the edge of the sky is called Guanghan. It is shaped like a Yao mirror and a jade bow."
This truth was of great significance to Lu Lingqiu. Of course, it also had a huge impact on Mu Qing.
Lu Lingqiu had truly seen the existence of the moon.
So does Mu Qing.
Although the girl cannot directly recall everything about the moon in her memory, the appearance of the moon is clearly engraved in her mind.
If, as Han Miaoling said, outsiders have never seen the real "moon", it means that he and Mu Qing are the only two people in the world who have really seen the moon.
"Brother Lingqiu, tell me, is it possible that everything around us is false?"
The girl didn't stop, she just asked abruptly.
Feeling her uneasiness, Lu Lingqiu gently rubbed her black hair and looked to the horizon:
"Perhaps this land, this environment, this sky are all fake.
Flowers and grass can be false, the seasons can be false, the air can be false, and everything else can be false.”
"But the mind doesn't."
Lu Lingqiu whispered calmly:
"Mu Qing.
you and me.
Always real."
