Li Yizhi shook his head and smiled, and said, "Qingxuan, you are overthinking it. Maybe it's because you rarely interact with people, so you think I'm good at talking."
Shi Qingxuan tilted her head and said with some confusion, "Really, maybe. I have always lived alone and rarely get along with others."
Li Yizhi nodded and said, "Of course that's the case. Also, you should have more contact with people in the future. It's really lonely to be alone."
Shi Qingxuan shook her head and smiled. She flipped the hair around her ears and said, "I don't think it's better to be free and unrestrained by yourself. Besides, I don't want to pay attention to the mundane things outside, just to cause trouble to myself."
Li Yizhi didn't say anything more. He turned to ask, "By the way, Qingxuan and You Niaojuan are dead. What are your plans next?"
Shi Qingxuan said, "Of course I'm going back to Chengdu. I've been out for a long time."
Li Yizhi smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I'm going to Chengdu too."
Shi Qingxuan looked disbelieving, but chuckled and said, "You are the Duke of Chu, and you are busy with endless government affairs every day. I am surprised to be here. Could it be that you heard me tell me to go back to Chengdu, so you did it on purpose?"
Just tell me."
Li Yizhi smiled calmly and said, "Just take it as such. Being able to travel arm in arm with Qingxuan is also a great joy in life."
Shi Qingxuan suddenly looked astonished and said, "If I don't scare people like this, it's considered good. How can it be a great pleasure? Have you already seen through that I have a fake nose?"
Li Yizhi nodded and said, "Well, your fake nose is so real that it's really suspicious. I've seen all kinds of ugly people, but this is the first time I've seen one with such an ugly nose like yours. Besides, your mother is kind."
The previous generation saint of Hangjingzhai, and her father is Shi Zhixuan of the Huajian sect. They are both dragons and phoenixes in the world, how can she be ugly."
Shi Qingxuan snorted, and asked with great interest, "Okay, I know you are good at making people happy, and I don't know how many girls will be deceived by you."
Li Yizhi shook his head decisively and said, "You have said it before. I am busy with government affairs, so I have no time to lie to girls. This is not the first time I have lied to you, but you are too smart to fool me."
"Hehe! Okay, I won't tell you anymore. You have such a greasy mouth that I can't talk to you anymore."
Shi Qingxuan laughed and said, "Since you are also going to Chengdu, I will assume that you have other things to do, and we can go together. However, it is getting late now, so I will take you somewhere to stay for one night.
We’ll leave again tomorrow.”
"good!"
Li Yizhi nodded.
Then, he followed Shi Qingxuan to a quiet valley in the mountains, where there was a stone house.
There is a waterfall and small lake behind the stone house, surrounded by bamboo forests, which is very elegant.
"This is a good place to live in seclusion, far away from the world and not disturbed by the world of mortals." Li Yizhi praised.
Shi Qingxuan smiled and said, "This shouldn't come out of your mouth. This is the residence of a senior who passed away five years ago. I always come here to stay for a few days when I pass by."
Li Yizhi shook his head and said, "Actually, I also yearn for a secluded life, but I can't help myself."
Shi Qingxuan chuckled, obviously not believing it.
Among all the heroes in the world, who can endure loneliness? Otherwise, they would not strive for world hegemony.
Obviously, in Shi Qingxuan's heart, Li Yizhi is a hero.
She walked towards the stone house and said, "I'll go inside and change clothes first. You go get some water and we'll make dinner."
Li Yizhi nodded, went to the kitchen to get a wooden bucket, and walked to the small lake behind the house.
By the time Li Yizhi came back, Shi Qingxuan had already changed her clothes, put on a light blue dress, and had taken off her prosthetic nose.
At this time, Shi Qingxuan showed the beauty of nature vividly, like a creation of heaven, perfect without any flaws.
She is like an elf of nature, like a new green bamboo leaf in early spring, verdant and full of vitality.
Li Yizhi was slightly absent-minded. He looked away without any trace and said with a smile, "Qingxuan, you should dress like this. With that fake nose, it is simply a blasphemy against beauty."
Shi Qingxuan glanced at Li Yi with her beautiful eyes and said angrily, "Glib tongue, didn't you say before that people should pay more attention to inner beauty?"
"The premise is that without external beauty, we can only settle for the next best thing."
"You are making excuses."
…………
Shi Qingxuan is very skilled in cooking and it didn't take long to finish it.
After the two of them finished eating, it was already dark.
Sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, Li Yizhi closed his eyes and listened quietly to the music in his ears, which made his mind feel empty.
It feels like you have become a fairy, flying freely in the clouds, watching the ceiling falling around you, and watching fairies dancing gracefully.
After a long time, the whistle gradually stopped.
Li Yizhi reluctantly opened his eyes and praised, "Qingxuan, your flute skills are already close to Taoism. Every time I listen to your flute sound, my 'spirit' will increase to varying degrees, which makes people addicted. No."
I know, can you teach me?"
Shi Qingxuan smiled slyly and said, "It's not impossible to teach you. I don't know what you want to give in exchange. After all, people who want to be apprentices have to be trained. You, the majestic Duke of Chu, can't show nothing at all."
"
Li Yizhi laughed dumbly and said, "Of course, Qingxuan, if you want anything, just ask."
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet, so you just owe it to me. I'll let you know when I think about it one day."
Shi Qingxuan thought for a while and finally said helplessly.
"Okay, it's settled."
There are extra bamboo flutes in the stone house, which Shi Qingxuan made on a daily basis.
Next, Shi Qingxuan started talking about the materials and production of bamboo flutes.
According to her, the flute is the foundation. If the flute is not good, no matter how good the flute skill is, it will not be able to reach its peak.
After talking about the making of the flute, it was followed by music theory, flute technique and so on.
Shi Qingxuan spoke seriously, and Li Yizhi also listened carefully.
He can remember what he has heard and can draw inferences from one instance, so he can understand quickly.
At the end of the talk, it is no longer an ordinary flute skill, but a musical instrument. This is also the part that Li Yizhi values the most.
Sound skills can actually be divided into two types, one is driven by true energy, and the other is driven by "spirit".
It is difficult to distinguish the power of these two methods. It can only be said that when activated by true energy, the damage is wider, and when activated by 'god', it is even more bizarre and unpredictable.
Just like in the Evil Emperor Temple during the day, Shi Qingxuan and Jin Huanzhen both use "gods" to control their voices.
It looks calm, but in fact it is the most dangerous. Jin Huan is really pale because he has hurt the 'god'.
Shi Qingxuan did not hide any personal secrets. She not only taught how to control the "gods", but also how to refine the "gods". This is the most precious thing.
One night passed quickly.
On the third day, Li Yizhi and Shi Qingxuan went on the road together early in the morning, arrived at Liyang, and then hired a boat to sail upstream.
Along the way, Li Yizhi either asked Shi Qingxuan for flute skills, stood on the bow of the boat with her and admired the scenery on both sides of the strait, or chatted comfortably.
Half a month later, the river boat finally arrived at Yiling.
Once here, it is very difficult to go upstream, because the river is so fast that people who are not local absorbers of the channel can easily turn over.
Therefore, Li Yizhi and Shi Qingxuan would either travel by land or take a local river boat.
