A few decades ago, the Central Plains Jianghu was far from being as happy as it is now. It was only a matter of time when the demons came out to provoke them. However, the various sects did not stop there, and gangs scolded them almost every few days. appointment. Although ordinary people are more willing to describe this as a bloody storm, it is good to talk more when talking about the mountains, but in fact, it is more smoky. The Poppins are no different.
And everyone knows about quarrels and group fights. Naturally, the more people there are, the better. Therefore, every time the day when the various sects agreed, the ruffians on the street became a hot commodity for each family - they could be hired for a day for a few pennies and two meals. Not only did they quarrel loudly, but also greeted the ancestors of other families. There is no pressure, and you can also change tricks to scold your mother, which is cheap and cost-effective. And these little gangsters are also very willing to participate in such activities. It is one thing to have fun, and they are effortless and enjoyable. More importantly, they can brag to their neighbors when they come back. Looking at the envious eyes around them, they are even dreaming. To wake up laughing. It's just that although this way of life is good, it is also dangerous. When the Xiaoshan Gang and Qian Qianmen had an appointment, because the people hired by both sides were quite fierce, the situation got out of hand in the end, and they actually drew their swords and fought. Where have the little gangsters seen this battle? After seeing the blood, they all turned around and ran. One of them ran a little slower and was stabbed twice in the back.
The gangster who was injured was a young offspring, with disheveled hair and dirty face, probably because of his strong body. He bleeds all over the place but didn't die. When he woke up, he was lying in a thatched hut with a woman sitting beside him who was boiling medicine.
"Is that woman Baitoufeng?" Duan Yao was fascinated.
Jing Liutian nodded: "No one knows what Baitoufeng's real name is, only that she likes to cover her hair with a white turban and holds a white phoenix sword in her hand, so she got this name. The gray-robed old nun, his kung fu is naturally not bad, he should not have anything to do with these small sects, but he just happened to pass by, and he was kind and kind, so he saved the next generation."
Duan Yao said: "Since the master is a Buddhist, he must be kinder." Unlike his own master, every time he is mentioned, it is to scare the disobedient little doll.
"Sometimes people are too kind, and it's not necessarily a good thing." Jing Liutian said, "The name of the later life is Li Tian, have you heard of this person?"
"Li Tian?" The name was unremarkable, Duan Yao thought about it for a long time before saying, "Hailang Hand?"
"What is Hailang Hand?" Jing Liutian laughed, and asked his servants to bring him a cup of sweet tea, "It's Wave Breaker."
Duan Yao scratched his head.
No one knew the origin of Li Tian, and even before that appointment, the name had never appeared on the rivers and lakes. The disciples of the Xiaoshan Gang recalled seven or eight times later, and also said that they saw him squatting on the side of the street with dirty and torn clothes. I went to the top of the mountain to fight in a group - I saw that he was really chopped up later, so I quickly dispersed. Who would have thought that this person would be a peerless master.
"Ah?" Duan Yao didn't want to understand.
"Maybe something happened that day, or maybe it happened to be poisoned. I think apart from Bai Toufeng and Li Tian himself, no one in this world will know the reason." Jing Liutian said, "After Li Tian was healed, he would She has always lived with Baitoufeng. The old lady in gray robe had a secret book of martial arts hidden in her lifetime. After her death, many people in the rivers and lakes have been eyeing Baitoufeng, and they came to them one by one, but they were also caught by Li Tian. Beat him away. His palm is extremely delicate, and he can even split the ground with one hand, flying sand and rocks like a tumbling tsunami, so he got the name Breaking Waves."
"Sounds good." Duan Yao said, "It's just that if the road to love is bumpy, it won't end up being a biological child."
Jing Liutian nodded: "Afterwards, Li Tian disappeared for some reason."
Duan Yao: "..."
"He was arrogant before and offended many people in the world." Jing Liutian said, "After the news spread, Baitoufeng has become a piece of fat in everyone's eyes. Some people still cherish the secrets, and some people covet her beauty. , and some people want to ask her about Li Tian's whereabouts. After the family couldn't stay, Bai Toufeng fled the city and went to sea overnight, but still fell into the enemy's trap and fell into the hands of thieves. "
"Is there no martial arts leader to preside over justice?" Duan Yao asked.
"The leader of the martial arts alliance is far away in the Western Regions, and no one knew at that time who the white-headed phoenix fell into." Jing Liutian said, "It wasn't until three months later that a crazy white-haired woman appeared on the street, nonsense. Nonsense, all martial arts are useless."
Duan Yao frowned.
"She ran away secretly." Jing Liutian said, "There are a few sects in the back who can't see it, and they sent someone to rescue her, but they happened to meet someone who came to kill her, so I finally knew who the real murderer was. ."
"Who?" Duan Yao asked.
"An inferior sect, named Xuanshang Villa, was singled out by Li Tian to form a son." Jing Liutian said, "After the crime was exposed, the rest of the righteous people gathered to attack it. Although it can be regarded as avenging for innocent women, but in this river and lake, there is no more chivalrous girl with white head and phoenix."
"What happened later?" Duan Yao continued to ask.
"No one knows what happened after that. It seems that Li Tian never came back." Jing Liutian said, "As for Baitoufeng, some say she died, some say she became a monk, and some say she married a Ordinary people live their lives, who knows."
"That's it." Duan Yao said, "Then Li Tian, did you really never come back?"
Jing Liutian shook his head: "Even now, no one knows his true identity, whether he is alive or dead, where he went, not to mention his whereabouts at the time."
"Yeah." Duan Yao said, "Thank you, Lord Jing, today I made the owner break the rules, and he will definitely try to make up for it."
"Young Master Duan is very polite." Jing Liutian pushed back the poison on the table, "If I don't accept this reward, it won't be considered a business, and I'd break the rules."
"Yes." Duan Yao put the small bottle back again: "Then even if I owe a favor."
"It's easy to say." Jing Liutian said, "It's just why the little prince suddenly asked this, but what did he hear or see?"
"I can't say for sure, but if Qianchen is really so miserable, then don't bother the old man." Duan Yao took a deep breath, "I thought things too simple before."
Jing Liutian understood and nodded slightly: "I understand now."
After leaving the Jinman Inn, Duan Yao originally wanted to go to Fuming Village to have a look, but after hesitating again and again, she turned around and returned to the North Palace.
The full moon in the sky is gradually disappearing, the sun is rising and the mist is dissipating, and there are people in Suhuai Villa.
Although it was summer, the morning in the mountains was still cold. Duan Baiyue pulled up the quilt and gently covered the naked shoulders of the people around her.
Chu Yuan raised his arm to block his eyes: "What time is it?"
"You don't have to go to the morning, you don't care what time it is." Duan Baiyue said, "Go to sleep if you are sleepy."
Chu Yuan said: "It's stuffy in the house."
Duan Baiyue got up and opened the window.
Nan Moxie was smiling like a flower in the courtyard.
With a bang, Duan Baiyue covered the wooden window again, and inserted the buckle.
Rebel... Nan Moxie shook his head with emotion, turned around and walked to the kitchen.
What does it mean to marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother
Duan Baiyue returned to the bed and held the person in her arms again.
Chu Yuan was tossed by him all night, and was a little drowsy. He couldn't see whether the window was open or closed, and soon fell asleep again. Tao Rende turned around a few times, and the guards said that the King of Southwest had been sleeping and did not go out, so he was relieved and planned to go to the dining room to have breakfast alone, but when he passed the kitchen, he almost bumped into an old man with tousled hair.
"Master Nan." Tao Rende saluted and took two steps back quietly. After all, this person in front of him is dead and alive and dead, and I don't know what it is, so it's better to hide away.
"Master Tao." Nan Moxie was chewing a dough stick in his left hand.
"Master Nan is sick?" Tao Rende glanced into the kitchen, the casserole was rumbling, and the smell of medicine was everywhere.
"It's not." Nan Mo said evilly, "Master Tao will also have a bowl of the nourishing soup?"
Tao Rende looked at the dried scorpions, centipedes, toads, and toads scattered on the table, and turned to leave with a smile on his face, for fear that he would be caught and swallowed if it was too late.
I think it's pretty beautiful, but I really want to drink it. Nan Moxie shook the little braid that his apprentice had tied up for himself a few days ago, and continued to squat back by the stove to cook medicine. Boil it dry and add water. After seven or eight times, it was cleared out and brought back to the residence.
The person who opened the door was Chu Yuan.
"Your Majesty." Nan Moxie smiled kindly.
"Senior Nan." Chu Yuan didn't feel uncomfortable—after all, Nan Moxie's bedroom was next door. According to his martial arts cultivation, it was impossible not to know that he came last night.
What's more, it was originally... a family.
"This is medicine." Nan Moxie handed him the bowl and instructed, "Be sure to drink it all in one breath."
"On the fifteenth of every month, do you want to take this medicine?" Chu Yuan took it in his hand.
Nan Moxie nodded: "Yeah, it's poisonous and bitter." So after eating, be sure to give it some sweetness.
"Senior Lao." Chu Yuan bowed his head slightly.
Nan Moxie cleared his throat and planned to continue to exaggerate the atmosphere: "This medicine—"
"Master." Duan Baiyue appeared behind Chu Yuan with eyes like a knife.
Nan Moxie forcibly calmed down and touched his braid.
"Senior, go back and rest." Chu Yuan laughed, "I will watch him take the medicine."
"Did you hear that?" Duan Baiyue blocked the door frame with one hand, bowed slightly and looked at the teacher, "Can you ask the apprentice to send the master back?" With a kind smile, you can see that it is not a threat at all.
Nan Moxie didn't even leave the door, he just climbed the wall and went back to the next door.
Chu Yuan: "..."
"You know what Master said." Duan Baiyue closed the door, "Just listen, but don't believe it."
"Senior Nan didn't say anything." Chu Yuan sat at the table and handed him the medicine bowl, "It's a little hot."
Duan Baiyue said: "Hey me."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Duan Baiyue said: "Bitter."
Chu Yuan said: "If it is bitter, you should drink it all in one breath."
Duan Baiyue thought for a while and said, "Hands hurt."
Chu Yuan was amused, he poured a spoonful of soup medicine to cool it and fed it to his mouth.
Duan Baiyue never thought that this bowl of poisonous soup could be so delicious.
"What's in it?" Chu Yuan asked, "But what herbs are hard to find?"
"It's just an ordinary poison." Duan Baiyue said, "It's everywhere in the southwest."
Chu Yuan frowned: "Poison?"
"It's poison for ordinary people, but an antidote for me." Duan Baiyue drank the remaining concoction in one gulp, "Otherwise, I'm afraid that the golden silkworm thread will not be willing to go dormant again when it wakes up."
Chu Yuan sighed: "But it can't be like this all the time."
"Don't talk about this." Duan Baiyue said, "When I hear the words Tianchensha again, my head will explode. If the master and the people from the Southwest House are looking for it, you are not allowed to intervene."
Chu Yuan nodded, poured a cup of tea and rinsed his mouth. Lunch was also delivered to the room. After the two finished eating, Duan Baiyue asked, "Sleep for a while?"
Chu Yuan said: "I just got up more than an hour ago."
Duan Baiyue said: "There is nothing to do horizontally or vertically."
Chu Yuan said: "This kind of idle afternoon, you can't drink tea, you can't play chess, you don't want to read books, and you can't understand the rhythm, you really should have nothing to do."
Duan Baiyue answered: "If I know it, how can I get the top spot in that gentleman Wen."
"You." Chu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's just that I don't like Master Taifu. How did Wen Aiqing provoke you." I haven't seen each other before, so I have to talk about it every now and then.
Duan Baiyue took the opportunity to say: "If you are willing to keep him in Shu, I promise not to mention it again in the future."
"Don't think about it." Chu Yuan shook his head, "Wen Aiqing is the pillar of my great Chu. After a few years of practice outside, if he achieves outstanding political achievements, not only will he be recalled to the king's city, but even the top of the hundred officials will be left to him."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
"What, jealous?" Chu Yuan raised his chin.
Duan Baiyue said: "I knew that you liked scholars so much. I should have followed the Master Wang when I learned kung fu. Maybe I can export it now."
"Nonsense." Chu Yuan patted him on the face: "Stop making trouble, hurry up and go to exercise to heal."
Duan Baiyue kissed him on the lips before getting up and returning to the inner room. Chu Yuan drank two cups of tea by himself, and when he saw his saber from the corner of the corner, he took it out of curiosity and played with it. After a long time, I found that this thing was a piece of broken iron from a distance, but when I got it in my hand, I found that it was still a very heavy piece of broken iron.
What the hell... Chu Yuan picked up the bang bang and knocked it on the ground twice, smashing a hole once.
Do you want to send someone out to find a weapon that you can handle
"King of the Southwest." Tao Rende's voice came from the courtyard.
Chu Yuan: "..."
"King of the Southwest." Tao Rende called from the courtyard.
However, Nan Moxie was not there, and there was no movement around.
"King of the Southwest, please forgive me for being rude." There was no sound for a long time, and Tao Rende stepped up the steps, intending to take a look at it, so as to save this master from making a fool of himself.
Chu Yuan dropped the sword in his hand, went into the room, turned over and jumped onto the beam of the roof—he moved in a hurry, and accidentally scratched his fingertips. Fortunately, the broken iron sword was blunt enough, and it stopped the bleeding for a moment when he put it in his mouth.
Tao Rende pushed the door and came in. Seeing no one outside, he went straight into the inner room.
Duan Baiyue held her breath, closing her eyes and meditating. The upper body is naked, and there are some ambiguous red marks on the neck.
Tao Rende took a closer look, thinking he was dizzy or something.
Chu Yuan: "..."
There was a small dragon totem tattooed on his heart. After seeing it clearly, Tao Rende's face changed as expected, and he turned and left in a hurry.
Duan Baiyue exhaled, opened his eyes and looked up.
Chu Yuan jumped down, a little ash on his body.
Duan Baiyue looked at him and smiled.
Chu Yuan said: "This is good, Master Taifu will probably be more convinced that your wolf ambitions must be guarded against."
"Don't worry about him." Duan Baiyue stood up, "Just now are you banging on the ground outside?"
Chu Yuan paused and said, "It was your sword that fell to the ground."
Duan Baiyue said: "No wonder."
Chu Yuan asked, "What exactly is that?"
Duan Baiyue replied: "It seems to be called Xuanming Cold Iron."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Looking at this situation, is it not even sure what it is called
"Master gave it, it is said to be an ancient artifact." Duan Baiyue took the clothes aside and put it on.
Chu Yuan couldn't help it: "There is also a fish intestine sword in the palace, do you want it?"
Duan Baiyue shook his head: "People who practice martial arts, there is no reason to change weapons every three days."
Chu Yuan wanted to say that it had to be a "weapon".
On the table outside, the iron sword of Xuanminghan had a pattern floating on it, but it was fleeting. Even if someone saw it, they would probably think it was an illusion.
The sky darkened little by little, and the two ate a bowl of plain noodles together. Chu Yuan said, "I should go back."
"Be careful on the road, and don't come again in the next few days." Duan Baiyue said, "It's another hour to go back, it's better to sleep in the palace for a while."
Chu Yuan smiled: "Well, not coming."
Duan Baiyue held his waist and lowered his head to kiss. Chu Yuan closed his eyes, wrapped his arms around his neck, and kissed in love and dedication. After a long time, the two let go of each other, Duan Baiyue rubbed his lips with his thumb, and said softly: "Wait for me to come back."
Chu Yuan patted him on the chest, turned around and walked out the door.
Duan Baiyue did not return to the room to rest until the back of him disappeared.
Nan Moxie squatted on the tree and nibbled melon seeds happily, staring at the moon as he walked in the sky little by little. When he was sleepy, he yawned and fell asleep, very relaxed.
In the middle of the night, the wind began to blow again in the mountains. The bushes and grasses rustled, and there was a faint thunder in the horizon. The Xuanming Cold Iron buzzed and vibrated. Although the sound was extremely low, Duan Baiyue's hearing was so sensitive that he instantly opened his eyes and turned to look at the table.
The blue-purple totem slowly covered the blade, like a flower blooming in the ancient wilderness.
Duan Baiyue frowned and got out of bed, walking towards Xuanming Cold Iron step by step, after a moment of hesitation, she reached out to hold the hilt of the sword.
In an instant, the wind whistled, and the door of the house was blown open with great force. A thunderous thunder rumbled, and the silver lightning seemed to tear the dark sky, and the pale and bloody face at the door was illuminated by the light for a moment.
"King of the Southwest." Lan Ji's voice was old, as if coming from the depths of the earth, "Don't come and be safe."
