The Bamboo Forests of Auden Chapter 4

The main peak occupies a vast area, with both inner and outer gates on it. The outer sect is on the outer edge, while the inner sect disciples live in a place with more abundant spiritual energy. The Kanxing Tower is built at the junction of the inner and outer gates. It is the book garden with the largest collection of books in Tamsin.

There are six floors in total. There are no restrictions on the first floor and all Tamsin disciples can enter. The second and third floors can only be entered by disciples from the inner gate and above. Only the disciples who have entered the room on the fourth and fifth floors can enter. As for the sixth floor, only elders and heads can enter.

This time, we reached the sixth floor. Auden's heart trembled. Currently, the second level is just a luxury for her.

She had already finished reading the first-level sword art. She wanted to learn more, but was unable to enter the second level, so she had to move to the other scrolls on the first level. She had planned many times how to get to the second level, but finally gave up. She couldn't find the barrier. Even though he was trying to get in, he couldn't find the reason, so he had to wait until he entered the inner door before exploring.

The sixth floor is more spacious than the first floor, and the decoration is more primitive and heavy. There is a side room with a desk in the middle, complete with pens, ink, and inkstones.

Paxton sat down at the table and looked at Auden, who was still standing at the entrance a little reserved. Auden got the signal and followed him to stand in front of the table.

"It's settled, take it," she said abruptly.

Feng Risheng was a little confused at first, but then he understood its meaning and slowly opened his eyes.

This...she was very surprised. She was naturally happy, but Huai and Jun just accepted it and came to tell her specifically? This is too incredible.

Paxton seemed unaware of anything, and kept dying without saying anything surprising.

"I am interested in you, may I do so?"

If people would subconsciously make a sound when they are surprised, then Auden felt that she was so shocked that she lost her voice and couldn't form even a few words.

Those slightly lighter eyes looked straight at her, as if Alex Huai was waiting for his answer.

Auden's lips were still trembling a little, so he controlled his neck forcefully, lowered his head, and nodded. Then she thought of something and pursed her lips.

------She should confirm whether Alex Huai didn't mind her meridians, but she was afraid that this person would mind, so this good opportunity slipped away.

Alex Huai had only seen that her spiritual power was not as good as her meridians before. Not caring about this was not the same as not caring about her having no meridians. If it were the elder next to her, she would have concealed it whenever she could, but Huai and Jun were different.

Auden could naturally guess the reason why she was interested in him------talent in swordsmanship. She does have some insights into the way of the sword, which is probably the only redeeming feature of her body.

Being so entangled, he didn't speak for a while.

She was silent and nodded again before. Paxton thought she was willing and then looked away. The silence lasted for a moment, and she suddenly frowned.

When Auden saw it, she felt confused and inexplicably panicked. "There's something wrong," she said hastily.

"What's the matter?" Adam Huai wanted to speak, but after hearing the words, he suppressed his words and asked her.

"Disciple..." Auden's breathing suddenly became a little faster. She thought about the old things, shrank for a moment and quickly came back to her senses. She said in a low voice: "There is something wrong with the meridians. After thinking about it, I still need to inform Paxton about this matter." "Jun."

This was said in a humble and rather cautious manner. Then he hurriedly added: "But spiritual power can still be introduced into the body."

Paxton's frowning eyebrows had relaxed, and there was no change after hearing the words. She didn't seem to mind and said quietly: "Looking at last night, since you have your own way, it doesn't matter."

After finishing her words, she stood up and said what she had just said: "Wang Xin is looking for you, please stay here for a while." Then she disappeared from the same place.

Elusive people become even more elusive, and already chaotic people become even more chaotic.

However, Auden was at a loss at this moment, and it didn't matter what happened. She blinked and pinched her palm, which was not a cruel move.

pain.

Blinking again, she saw in front of her the sixth level that she had never thought of, and just now Alex Huai agreed to her words - it doesn't matter.

Everything is too true to be true. But she still felt that she was dreaming.

It's not that she doesn't want to do it, it's just that this is too unheard of, and she wouldn't even dare to do it in her dreams.

Thinking about it this way, she thought nonsense: Since she didn't dare to dream like this, it must be true. After thinking about it for a while, I reluctantly accepted it, although it was still a bit dreamy.

The joy came over her in hindsight. Before she could enjoy it for a moment, she wondered again: Wang Xin came to find me.

Wang Xin came to find me?

Let me wait for a moment. Wang Xin is looking for me, why does he want me to stay for a while?

So what exactly is Wang Xin going to do? The same goes for Huai and Jun. Wang Xin is looking for me, why should she go?

Auden frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out the reason.

This is like a dream again. Like a dream, I don’t know the beginning or end, and there is no reason.

After thinking hard for a long time, although he didn't come up with any results, when Paxton came back, Auden's thoughts were at least normal. Looking at everything in front of him, at least it didn't look like a dream.

Just like when he disappears, he disappears in the same place, and the same goes for Paxton when he reappears. Auden was so frightened that he trembled for a moment.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that a person suddenly appears in front of me, which is a bit overwhelming.

Paxton sat down again, raised his hands, palms upward. The fingers and palms are long and dazzlingly white.

The next moment, a long sword appeared on it. The scabbard was ice blue, and the exposed hilt was also blue and white with complicated dark patterns.

"The name of this sword is Hua Liu."

Auden's heart stirred, and she had a vague guess, and that guess was even more whimsical. Looking at the plain white hand under the ice blue scabbard, she felt more and more that her guess was true.

So he answered the words lightly: "Hua Liu was worn by Immortal Luoxu a thousand years ago. It appeared in Qingxu Sect five hundred years ago. It is said in "The Record of Ten Thousand Swords" that after it disappeared one hundred and fifty years ago, no one can find it anymore." See."

"The Record of Ten Thousand Swords" is one of the many popular science books on the first floor, which she has studied.

Paxton seemed to appreciate it and raised his palm a little, "Here you go."

The guess came true, and Auden couldn't calm down in his heart. She was a savage who came out of the deep mountains and old forests. She had never used high-level elixirs, let alone such a rumored spiritual sword.

When she raised her hand, her arm trembled a little, and it felt like a dream again.

He just came here to look for me, he didn't even mind meridians, but he still wanted to give me a sword at this time?

Did she really take a fancy to her swordsmanship talent? But is she so talented? She even came to Huai and Yujun came to look for her just after hearing a sword. Even so, why did she come today?

Paxton didn't know what she was thinking. When he saw her raising her hand, he let go of the sword as soon as her hand relaxed.

The sword is a little heavy. Auden's hands were still trembling, but he had no strength left. He was pressed by the sword and almost fell to the ground. This time, he immediately came back to his senses, his hands no longer trembled, and his energy was no longer weak. Just a little red in the face.

"Hug, I'm sorry." A little redness spread to his neck in an instant, and he even stuttered his words.

Huai and Ben didn't realize anything was wrong, but when they saw her reaction, they slightly raised the corners of their lips. Without him, Auden's reaction really seemed to be on fire.

"It doesn't matter, it will adapt to you after injecting spiritual energy."

Auden lowered his head and did not dare to look at her, so he obeyed. There was a burst of light on the sword, and then it fell silent. There was a faint connection in the spiritual platform, and the sword suddenly became a lot lighter. Is this a success?

She frowned and wondered why it was so easy: "The contract between the Tao in the book and the spiritual sword requires the right time, place, and people."

"You have made peace." Huai Yuzhi said.

...

There is no difference between saying this and not saying it. The words were stuck in my throat, and I wanted to speak but couldn't.

"Don't show it yet." Paxton didn't give her a chance to speak. He raised his hand and brushed the sword, and the flowing blue turned into dull gray.

Seeing that the sword with extraordinary aura suddenly turned into an iron sword that could be found everywhere, Auden blinked and realized that she could not keep up with Alex Huai's thoughts.

"Come with me."

"Okay." Auden replied immediately. Although he hadn't figured it out yet, he could just follow along and follow him with the gray sword in his arms.

Then he went downstairs again and walked up the steps. The sound of slight footsteps disturbed the silent dust and gave rise to countless thoughts.

Then the question became clear. She looked at the man in white in front of her, with a mountain of words in her mind. After twisting her fingers out of the red marks, she spoke.

"Alex Huai."

"Um?"

Auden pursed his lips and wrapped his fingers tighter.

"Why do you...tell me now? And...give me a sword."

Don't reveal the sword for the time being to prevent the relationship from being discovered. This is for your own good.

But why does she take care of herself so much? This level has long surpassed the appreciation of younger generations.

"Is it because of last night's sword?"

Auden's heart lifted higher, and his breathing became as light as the dust around him.

Because of the sword he danced last night, this seemed to be the only reason. Although she didn't think that this alone would allow Alex Huai to take care of her like this.

There seems to be a reason for coming to look for yourself in advance. Otherwise, you can stay until after January.

She came here today to inform her in advance that she should not choose the elder next to her? She didn't know how to think.

"Yes, your swordsmanship is really spiritual. I like it, but I don't want to come to the main peak often, so I came to find you as my apprentice." Paxton replied fluently, without hesitation. "After you go to Zang Xuefeng, you can practice swordsmanship with me every day at You hour, okay?"

She still seemed to have no distracting thoughts and was extremely frank, which was not the same as the rumored careless and cold-hearted Huai and Jun Wu.

Auden's breathing stagnated, and then he realized that his heartbeat could be heard clearly.

Why Alex Huai is so...so...speaks astonishingly.

God knows how nervous she was, fearing that this question would go too far, and fearing that she would change her mind because of her own question. It's good, she only asked the reason, but Huai and Jun also explained it in the future.

This all makes sense. Although this person is somewhat unreasonable. Auden's mind was still buzzing.

"No..." Paxton didn't wait for her answer before he opened his mouth and bumped into Auden, who had just reacted. Auden's "good" only came out with one syllable.

Huai and Wenyin knew what she wanted to say, so they stopped speaking, leaving the wind to rise and feel uneasy.

After waiting for a long time and hearing nothing, Auden asked cautiously: "What did you want to say just now?"

...

Adam Huai didn't want to explain, but when he looked back and saw her cautious appearance, he finally spoke and explained compassionately:

"nothing."

Auden: ...

She frowned and said, "Oh."

We have reached the second floor now. Paxton stopped and raised his hand. A bright green ring hung in the air, emitting a soft light.

The green light gradually spread, and within a moment, the second floor seemed to be bathed in green light.

The green lights are scattered and inconsistent, like fireflies dotted with stars at night. Auden was puzzled, but it didn't stop her from looking fascinated.

Such is the case on a summer night in the woods.

The stream of bright green light did not last long. Like many fireflies flying towards the ring, it returned to the original state in a blink of an eye.

The ring fell into Paxton's hand. She changed her hand and said, "Here you go."

Auden: ...

She had heard these words not long ago, and even the tone and actions were exactly the same.

Based on the previous experience, it stands to reason that her hand should be as steady as possible this time. However, the raised hand was trembling, as if it was about to take some poison.

Paxton still handed it to her lightly.

The ring is made of green jade, which is warm and smooth, with a natural texture.

The warm and cool touch spreads all the way to the heart.

"Among them is a copy of the rubbings from the scroll on the second floor. You have not truly worshiped me, and it is inconvenient to come here these days."

She actually remembered her words about coming to the second floor? Thinking about the reason for coming to the second floor, she originally came to check if there was any magic that could detect any abnormality in her.

She hurriedly asked: "Do you know that there is any magic method in the world that can reveal the path of a practitioner's spiritual energy?"

This question was nothing more than asking about Auden's own situation. Huai Yuzi could hear it and said: "Your situation should not be known to outsiders. Just don't let the Fusion Realm medical cultivators and Nascent Soul Realm sword cultivators explore your meridians."

Auden asked subconsciously: "May I ask what realm Elder Yan is in?"

Elder Yan is the master of Lingcun Peak and the chief physician of Lingcun Peak.

After asking, she realized that what she said was inappropriate due to anxiety in her heart, and added: "My disciple is offensive."

"Senior sister is not yet at this level." Paxton glanced at her, not knowing what to think, and said inexplicably: "I don't have many rules."

"......yes."

...

After a moment of silence, Paxton asked, "Is there anything else you're confused about?"

Auden thought about it for a moment, and found that there were too many puzzles. They all boiled down to: How could this bright fairy be so good to her?

There is also the matter of Wang Xin. She raised her eyes and met Shang Paxton's focused gaze.

The words in his heart disappeared after being looked at. She asked: "Isn't this a dream?"

... Paxton frowned. Auden woke up and said hurriedly: "No, no...it's gone."

The man in white looked at her, and she shook her head repeatedly, "No more."

Silence spread again. Auden fiddled with his fingers again.

Paxton seemed to be thinking about it, but in the end he just said: "Don't forget the contract to enter the hall in one month."

The ending sound is a little distant, like the first line in the bamboo forest last night, empty and distant, like string sounds coming from all directions.

In an instant, the figure of the man in white was no longer seen.

The bookshelves are all in a dark color, and that touch of white catches everyone's attention. After Paxton left, everything he saw returned to darkness.

Auden stood for a long time, clenched the simple-looking iron sword in his hand, stuffed the ring into the storage bag on his waist, and walked downstairs slowly.
