"But why do you want her portrait?" Chu Jiaotang frowned in confusion.
Chu Jiaoli rolled her eyes and said: "I am also a princess of the same country. It is not difficult to find someone. I have such a good relationship with you. Your enemy is my enemy. If she is hiding in the dark
If I want to harm you, my guards have seen the portrait, so they can at least arrest her."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaotang felt that it made sense. She smiled and nodded, saying: "You are such a kind person."
Chu Jiaoli raised her hand and rubbed her little head with a gentle smile.
She had a hunch that the letter was the will of the former crown princess. Naturally, that woman would not harm Beigong Tengxiao. Since she saw the letter, she should always be vigilant.
Chu Jiaoxing walked out of the hall, looked at the two girls harmoniously in the courtyard, and showed a faint smile.
She walked into the courtyard and said to Chu Jiaoli: "Huanli, Ah Xuan calls you in."
"Oh." Chu Jiaoli nodded dullly and walked towards the hall.
As soon as I stepped into the door, the door was closed by a gust of wind.
Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips nervously and walked up to Ah Xuan.
"Huanli, sit cross-legged." Ah Xuan said seriously.
Chu Jiaoli nodded and sat cross-legged in front of it.
Ah Xuan looked into her eyes and said, "I want to teach you the magical skill of controlling water."
"The magical skill of controlling water..." Chu Jiaoli muttered something and said, "I...can it really be done?"
"I am destined to be your master of water-bending magic. It is also your mission to practice water-bending magic."
Chu Jiaoli nodded solemnly.
"Now, put your hand on my head, close your eyes, and feel it with your heart."
Chu Jiaoli complied and stretched out her hand and placed it on Ah Xuan's head.
After a while, she felt her mind gradually emptying out, and her somewhat chaotic thoughts became calmer.
Suddenly, a crystal clear water ball flashed in my mind. It slowly spun up and turned into pure white ice. It then shattered and condensed into tiny ice needles, and then condensed into small water droplets...
…
The nearly a hundred water drops seemed to begin to spread all over her body, making her whole body feel extremely comfortable.
A warmth flowed from the Dantian, spreading to the limbs, and the body gradually became a little lighter.
Ah Xuan continued: "You have the foundation of martial arts, so it will be easier. Now, I want to teach you the breath adjustment method of the water-bending magical skill and integrate it with your internal strength."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly. Her internal power was taught by Mo Wuyou. If she injects someone else's internal power, does that count as betrayal of the master?
Mo Wuyou is not easy to deal with. If this makes him unhappy again, his life will be in danger.
After thinking about it, her thoughts were a little disturbed, and she suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.
"Concentrate!" Ah Xuan chuckled.
"Oh..." Chu Jiaoli responded. It's not good to be distracted and obsessed at the moment. It was Mo Wuyou who asked her to look for A Xuan. If A Xuan wants to do something to her, she can't be blamed for that, right? p>
She swallowed and continued to comprehend.
Slowly covering her Dantian with her hands, breathing slowly, she felt a stream of air flowing out of her Dantian, causing it to circulate continuously. She tried to guide it slowly and let it flow back along the tendons.
She could clearly feel the Dantian heating up slightly under the palm of her hand, like a warm water ball, pulling out a strand from it and starting to spread into her veins.
As it spreads more and more, the water ball becomes smaller and smaller.
Until she followed Ah Xuan's guidance, the stream of water slowly merged into the water ball from the other side. Gradually, the water ball maintained its balance, always maintaining the same size.
It was as if a steady stream of water had been pouring into the river. She suddenly opened her eyes wide and had an epiphany.
In a matter of moments, she learned how to adjust her breath and was able to steadily control the flow of Qi. She felt the pure and strong internal power in her Dantian.
When she opened her eyes again, she had transformed into a true water-bending magical practitioner.
The thumb of the right hand seemed to be surrounded by ice, and the sensation was slightly weakened.
She brought her hand in front of her, and there was a black jade ring on the thumb of her right hand. It was engraved with a tortoise shell pattern, which was exactly the same as what Chu Jiaoxing was wearing on her hand.
She took a closer look and saw that the topaz finger on the right hand of Tang Luo in the middle of the ring had the same effect. Perhaps only those with such a ring could possess this wonderful magical power.
The sky was a little gloomy, and bursts of thunder could be heard in the distance.
The door was opened gently by Chu Jiaoli, and she walked out slowly.
Chu Jiaoxing, who was waiting outside the door, saw her walking out, frowned and came to her, handed her the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and said: "Huanli, the weather is not good, it may rain soon..."<
/p>
Just as he was talking, the sound of rain could be heard in the distance.
Chu Jiaoxing hurriedly opened the umbrella and said: "Don't get wet."
Before she put the umbrella over her head, she saw Chu Jiaoli raising her right hand and concentrating on the sky to mobilize her inner strength. The downpour that was about to fall seemed to fall on a transparent cover, sliding down in all directions.
Chu Jiaoxing was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "You have also learned the magic of water control!"
"Wow! This is so amazing!" Chu Jiaoli happily grabbed Chu Jiaoxing's hands and said.
There were just a few loud "crackling" sounds, and the cover lost its internal support, and the rain fell mercilessly, turning the two of them into drowned rats.
Chu Jiaoli raised her hand to wipe her face, and Chu Jiaoxing was embarrassed and speechless.
After looking at each other for a while, the two suddenly laughed.
Chu Jiaoxing held up an umbrella and said with a smile: "Let's go, change clothes."
"Yes." Chu Jiaoli took her hand affectionately and walked towards Chu Jiaoxing's bedroom.
In the afternoon, Chu Jiaoli returned to the Prince's Mansion.
The rain stopped for a while, and the raindrops fell on the petals of the pear blossoms, which were in full bloom.
Chu Jiaoli slowly lightened her steps when she saw Beigong Tengxiao sitting in the pavilion playing the guzheng.
Those slender fingers that are as long as spring onions jump flexibly between the strings, and the melody under the fingers is majestic and the rhythm is just right. It is really a beautiful tune.
After the song ended, Beigong Tengxiao glanced at Chu Jiaoli who was looking at him, glanced away, and looked up again. Seeing that she was wearing a different dress from that morning, he raised his long eyebrows and said: "
Got caught in the rain?"
"Well..." Seeing him paying attention to her, Chu Jiaoli was secretly happy. She walked into the pavilion with her head lowered and said, "By the way, I changed my clothes at Jiao Xing's house."
"Yeah." Beigong Tengxiao responded softly.
Chu Jiaoli looked at the guzheng in front of her and said, "By the way, what kind of instrument is this? I've never seen it in Zhongluo."
Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand and stroked the strings, saying: "This is the zither, it only existed five hundred years ago."
Chu Jiaoli smiled and said: "You play so beautifully, can you play one more song?"
After the words fell, Beigong Tengxiao did not answer.
Chu Jiaoli lowered her head in frustration. After a moment, she heard the melodious melody playing again.
