Chapter 51: Nephrite Fragrance
Nine summer country, summer capital, lingering fragrance garden.
The Lingering Fragrance Garden is divided into two gardens, the outer garden is mainly a teahouse and wine shop, receiving some ordinary people with low status, of course, some martial arts cultivators also like this kind of market place.
Because in addition to wine, tea, vegetables, and rice, there are also young ladies in the Lingering Fragrance Garden who occasionally come out to sing a song, and you can see the warblers in the Lingering Fragrance Garden and hear the beautiful songs, which is simply a thing that ordinary people have no regrets.
Moreover, you don't need much money here, order a pot of tea, a plate of snacks, and you can spend time.
Because there are also storytellers who tell all kinds of novel stories almost non-stop every day.
"Smack...... , oh my God?" a fat storyteller said in a melodious voice, "It's too late, that's fast, I saw this Longmen Longgu, his eyes were as red as fire, he raised his hand and waved it, and exhaled...... A black bowl flew up, it was the secret treasure of the Hongfa Treasure Building, a thousand catties of black bowl, this black bowl flew like a streamer......"
The little eyes rolled from side to side, and asked sharply, "Guess what?"
Everyone in the hall looked at them in amazement, some of them were so anxious that they stomped their feet, and some couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"
"I saw that the magic weapon of the Hongfa Treasure Building flew out with a snap, and with a crisp sound, it smashed directly on the face door of the black-clothed assassin. ”
"Smack...... and see the red, and the black, and the purple, and the red, and the golden...... In short, colorful things are scattered and flying, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, and the assassin of the Blood Shadow Gate is beaten by a black bowl from the young genius of this Dragon Gate Martial Mansion, Long Gu, who can't tell the difference!"
"Hahaha......"
"Okay!
Lying down, there was a cheer, and laughter: "Well played......"
"These bastards of the Holy Martial Kingdom, are there no one in the Nine Xia Kingdom who bullied us?"
"They don't know that we have a Dragon Gate Dragon Gu in Jiuxia...... , haha"
Someone wondered: "I understand that the red is blood, but what is the black one? How can there be purple, red, and golden ones?"
"You're stupid! Isn't this black one the thousand-pound black bowl? The purple one is the thousand-pound black bowl's Yuan Treasure Light, and as for the red one, it is estimated that it was the electric flint that was played at that time!"
"Needless to say, that golden one is the light of the true element......"
The obese storyteller waited for everyone to calm down, and then said, Xingmu knocked hard, and then said: "This Longgu young hero, in the year of the weak crown, saved the treasure of the nine summers, the southern tiger and the northern lion ......"
"Haha...... , the hero saves the beauty, ......"
In just a few days, the storyteller has compiled various versions of the series of events that happened in Hongfa Temple, but this version of Liuxiangyuan is the most popular and closest to the truth, but it is obviously artistically processed.
After all, art always comes from life, and is higher than life.
It is said that Long Gu saved everyone Xia Du Junjie and was seriously injured and unconscious, and was found by the handsome, Xia Du Junjie was all intact but was injured and frightened.
It's been half a month, and I'm still in a coma, so I ask the maid to feed some porridge and rice every day, but someone asked Doctor Zhang for the news, this Longgu's body should be fine, but his mental strength is overdrawn, and he needs to retreat to recover his spirit, and he should get better in a few days.
And three of those assassins were also captured alive, one seemed to be the elder of the Blood Shadow Gate, it is said that the head of the elder of the Blood Shadow Gate was beaten by Long Gu with a thousand catties of heavy bowls, and his head was broken and bleeding, and he was half dead. There is also a blood mark of the Blood Shadow Hall master, and the other is the Blood Killing Guard of the Blood Shadow Gate, who is locked up in the palace guard prison and focuses on taking care of it.
However, the neighboring 'Hengwu Kingdom' has already sent an envoy to the Jiuxia Kingdom to negotiate the matter of the three captives on behalf of the Blood Shadow Gate, and needless to say, the context of this assassination incident has already begun to appear.
You must know that this Hengwu Kingdom is a subsidiary country of the Shengwu Kingdom, the most powerful country in the Holy Martial Middle Continent, and it is also one of the three great powers adjacent to Jiuxia.
The Jiuxia Kingdom is located in the center of the Shengwu Eastern Continent, both in terms of geographical environment and four-season climate, and the three neighboring countries of Jiuxia are the 'Hengwu Kingdom', the 'Northern Cold Kingdom' and the 'Tianwei Kingdom'.
And this Hengwu country is the first power of the Shengwu Eastern Continent.
Jiuxia is located in the east of the Shengwu Donglu, bordering the North Han Kingdom in the north, the Hengwu Kingdom in the west, and the Tianwei Kingdom in the south, the ally of Jiuxia, the Tianwei Kingdom, the Jiuxia royal family and the Tianwei royal family exchange friendship, intermarriage and alliance have been for a hundred years, and the current Jiuxia Queen is the princess of Tianwei Muwan - the eldest grandson Miaoyu.
In this assassination incident, the luckiest were Qin Feng, Tang Mo and Tang Dao, although they also encountered assassins, they accidentally fell off a cliff on the way to escape, and the carriage hung on a tree and escaped.
As for the royal family, it has been reported to the whole country, and the battle of Hongfa Temple and the miraculous rescue of Longmen Longgu have been copied to the military department, and the people of Jiuxia are keenly aware of something, and this attention seems to be passing on some very important information.
And the names and deeds of Xia Du Junjie have all appeared in the entire Nine Xia Kingdom and are talked about by people.
Especially the name of Longmen Longgu, who was born out of nowhere, in order to save people, he is still in a coma......
......
The inner garden of the fragrance garden is much more deserted than the outer garden.
The only lively place is the Liuxiang Building, however, this Liuxiang Building usually does not receive guests, but festivals, or events, and only opens to welcome guests when receiving important people.
This Liuxianglou is the real place where the summer capital spends a lot of money, and if you want to enter the inner garden of Liuxiang Garden to play, it is not enough to have money alone, but also to have an identity.
If a person without identity wants to enter this garden, he must be thrown out at any time and be conscious.
This is also a classic way of entertainment in the Lingering Fragrance Garden.
The warblers and swallows in the garden are all extraordinary, they are all skilled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even some talented spiritual and martial arts cultivators are also among them.
Of course, the sisters of Liuxiangyuan are all performing arts and not selling themselves.
At this moment, on the edge of a pond in the garden, two beautiful warbler sisters are whispering......
"Alas...... Sister Nephrite, the Dragon Gu of the Longmen Martial Mansion that is rumored outside is really so powerful!?"
The girl named Nephrite was dressed in a light green dress, her skin was as fair as jade, her figure was weak and graceful, her melon seed face, her eyes were bright, and she said softly: "Some things can't be faked, although they are a little mysterious, but what happened should be roughly the same, and it is true that this Longgu is indeed a genius of the Xia Capital." ”
"Sister Tianxiang, don't think about anything else, you and I are getting more and more difficult to stay in this garden. Nephrite threw a pebble into the garden's turquoise pool.
Bitan rippled and rippled, wiping the water waves that reflected their beautiful faces into wrinkles like water lines.
"Yes!" Tian Xiang was dressed in an egg yolk dress, with a pair of bright big eyes inlaid on her round face, carved in pink, her body leaned forward slightly, exuding a faint fragrance, she looked at the ripples in the pool, and frowned slightly.
Tian Xiang said lightly: "This is fate...... Who told you that I am the forbidden son of the wicked young man? What can you and I do with two weak women in this world?"
"Yes, even if he is grounded in the Grand Marshal's Mansion, but his dog legs are not idle, although he does not dare to make trouble, but there are always threats and intimidation, alas...... , this so-called 'Lin Xiangyu' gang wants to get our name in, and the evil young man is really boring...... , we're all so bitter......"
"Sister, you said that this evil young man and Long Gu are both from this big handsome mansion, why is the gap so big?!"
"It's hard to say...... , that Long Gu is from the Great Marshal's Mansion, but he can let the evil young man introduce him, it is said that no one has seen his true face yet?" Nephrite smiled lightly and said lightly: "I don't believe in fate, people always have some opportunities, we just have to seize them." ”
The two girls stared blankly at the clear water of the blue pool and the fish swimming in the garden, but they stopped talking.
......
At this moment, the Xia Capital Marshal's Mansion is a different situation.
It's full of people and traffic.
A cart of gifts, a load of gifts are being sent inside, and it is even more lively than the New Year!
"The royal family of the summer capital, ten jars of wine in the south kiln, ten golden silk cloths, two boxes of elixir, 1,000 catties of second-level spiritual meat, and 100 catties of third-level spiritual meat......"
"General Liu of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, one thousand-year-old spirit plant, one jade belt, and two second-level young beasts......"
"General Zhendong Fu Yun, a set of fourth-level earth dragon beast bones, a pair of thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, a pair of ice toads, a box of Zhenyuan stones, Xie Longgu Shaoxia's life-saving grace!"
......
With the loud shouts of the guards, those guards sent supplies into the Marshal's Mansion in an orderly manner.
Looking at these materials carried into the Great Marshal's Mansion, Gu Wumu frowned.
"Long Gu! is still a young man? hum...... , are they all blind?" A low voice erupted from Gu Wumu's nose, "Don't talk about Xia Du, I'm afraid this Dragon Gu Daming is already a household name in the entire Nine Xia Kingdom, right?!Even Gu Wumu, who is a handsome man, is not as famous as him!"
The Jiuxia Kingdom advocates force, and naturally worships heroes!
Xia Sizhen, Gu Wumu, Long Nishang, Liu Zhenlong, Yun Pengfei, Shui Le, Yang Zhong, Ye Ruhui, Liu Guo...... These names have long been household names, and they are all heroes of the Nine Xia Kingdom.
But now there are more, Gu Qi, Jiang Wuxian, Qin Feng, Liu Yue'er, Yang Qingfeng, Ye Rouxin, Xia Yanyu, Xia Luochen...... These people will also rise up and support the sky of Jiuxia.
Because of these names, the people can live happily in this land and reproduce from generation to generation.
Among them, there is a name like the rise of a comet, which turned out to be born.
The name Longgu is already the same as Gu Qi, and it is even more dazzling than Gu Qi.
Because no one had ever seen the true face of this dragon gu, it seemed even more mysterious.
Become the hero of the new generation of the Nine Summer Kingdom that people talk about!
"Has Gu Lin woken up?" Gu Wumu turned around and asked:
Gu Fei was one of the few chief guards who knew Gu Lin's true identity, and he hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "This is already the seventeenth day, Second Young Master, he is still in a coma. ”
A family member ran over quickly, saluted respectfully, and said, "Marshal, Madame, please go to the hall to discuss matters." ”
With a wave of his hand, he shook off the big coat he was wearing, and Gu Wumu said: "Write down these gifts in full, and let the account room return the gifts one by one, don't lose the number of courtesies." ”
Walking quickly to the lobby, Gu Wumu heard what was being said inside.
"It's really unbelievable, how can Lin'er be so powerful?" I heard Long Nishang say: "You said that except for Qin Feng, Tang Mo and Tang Dao, everyone else was saved by you and Lin'er?
Gu Qi said: "Yes, I heard that Qin Feng and the three of them were also assassinated by the assassins of the Blood Shadow Gate at that time, they were galloping in the carriage, but they accidentally fell into the cliff, fortunately, the huge trees under the cliff were shady, and the carriage was hanging on the tree, they were just a little frightened, but they were not injured, so they ran to a cave and waited for rescue." ”
Gu Wumu strode into the room and saw his mother Lu Qiyi sitting on the main seat, Long Nishang sitting on the side, Gu Qi and Gu Yan, Lin Su, and Lei Ming standing down, and Caiyi and Qingluo standing behind Long Nishang.
Caiyi had already moved a chair and placed it next to Lu Qi, Gu Wumu didn't sit down, and saluted respectfully to the woman in black: "The child has seen his mother, and his mother won't leave this time, right?"
"You are all handsome in the summer capital, you don't have to be like this in the future. Lu Qiyi smiled slightly and said: "I have been in the world for twenty years, and many things have not been able to be comprehended, this time, I am still a little afraid when I think about it, this time fortunately I am not far from Xia, and I can arrive in time, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable, don't talk about it first, these years, do you have news of your father?"
Gu Wumu sighed and said, "I also sent people to inquire around, but there is still no news, there is no clue at all, and my father is afraid that he has also entered the world to practice." ”
Lu Qiyi looked at Gu Qi who was standing with his hands on the side with relief, his eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Qi'er has grown so big, I remember that I still hugged you when you were a child, and when you were so small, give you a little honey and you will giggle." ”
"Haha......" Gu Qi smiled: "Grandmother, don't leave this time, stay at home, and we will honor you." ”
"Good boys, they are all good boys, I think you and Lin'er are good, this summer capital is really thanks to you two brothers, you must know that the Blood Shadow Sect is not an ordinary assassination sect, and even the grandmother can't defeat it, it's not easy for you to turn evil into good fortune this time! With a slight stretch of his hand, Gu Lin could no longer kneel.
"Lin'er wasn't born when I left, right?" Lu Qiyi sighed softly: "It's been twenty years in a flash, and you have all grown up." ”
"Yes," Long Nishang sighed softly, "Lin'er was born three years after her mother left, and she will be seventeen years old in July this year. ”
Lu Qiyi asked, "Is Lin'er awake?"
Long Nishang looked at Caiyi, and Caiyi hurriedly said, "I haven't woken up yet, but I've already let Doctor Zhang see it." ”
Long Nishang asked, "What did Doctor Zhang say?"
Caiyi said: "Doctor Zhang said that the second young master's body is full, not only is his body not injured, but he is also much stronger than before, and his body is protected by special energy, so it should be fine, this coma may be overdepleted, or ...... , mentally impaired. ”
His brows were tightened, and Lu Qiyi said worriedly: "This Lin'er is really a good child, but this mental damage can be big or small, I don't know how Lin'er cultivates?"
Gu Wumu sighed, but didn't speak, and Long Nishang said: "Lin'er has been weak and sickly since she was a child, and she has a perverse personality, and she can't calm down, so the matter of cultivation is put on hold. ”
"Lin'er hasn't cultivated?What's the matter of the Blood Shadow Gate?Doesn't it mean that this Dragon Gu is Lin'er?Could it be that this Dragon Gu has someone else?" Lu Qi looked at Gu Wumu with a puzzled expression, and she asked puzzledly: "How can Lin'er not cultivate and defeat the opponent and rescue his partner in the hands of a group of strong people? You know, there are strong people in the Yuan Palace Realm there?!"
Gu Qi said respectfully: "Tell my grandmother, the Longgu rumored outside is indeed the younger brother Gulin, this is true, it's just that my father and mother still don't believe it, I swear, from beginning to end, my younger brother is with me, and all the things about Longgu outside are indeed done by my younger brother Gulin." ”
"Since Qi'er testifies, why don't you believe it?" Lu Qi said strangely, looking at Gu Wumu and Long Nishang, "Is this Lin'er usually behaving badly?"
"It's not just bad. As soon as he thought of what Gu Lin had done, Gu Wumu was angry, "He usually has a bad character, no, he has no character, and the people of Xia Capital know that he is a complete bully and a bully,......。 ”
"Don't say I don't believe what is rumored outside, even his mother doesn't believe it, do you say yes?" Gu Wumu turned to Long Nishang angrily.
Long Nishang said softly: "It's indeed a little too unbelievable, Lin'er he ......" Speaking of this, Long Nishang didn't know how to speak.
Lu Qiyi said with a slight anger: "I'm his grandmother, what else is there to say?"
Long Nishang glanced at Gu Wumu, Gu Wumu nodded slightly, and Long Nishang said quietly: " Lin'er's personality is indeed very violent, and his style of acting outside is also very domineering, and he also recruited some people through the reputation of the Marshal's Mansion, and was overbearing in the summer capital, I did not deliberately condone him, but often beat and scolded him, but the more severe he became, the more he was wanton, those teachings had little effect, and it would make him even worse, more arbitrary, Lin'er often did evil outside, in fact, I had nothing to do with him, and a few days ago she was grounded at home and not allowed to go out. ”
Long Nishang sighed lightly and said, "I thought it would be good for him to grow up to be well-behaved and sensible, but I never thought that this time he made such a big move, I really don't know if this is joy or sorrow." ”
"Of course this is a good thing!" Gu Qi suddenly spoke, he said categorically: "I have been with my brother from beginning to end of what happened this time, I still remember those scenes vividly, I dare to guarantee that my brother is really sensible, if there is no younger brother this time, I am afraid I will not be able to come back, including Gu Yan and them, as well as those outstanding family disciples in the summer capital, they all have to thank their younger brother, without him, this time we are really lucky, they sent so many gifts, it is proof." ”
Gu Wumu said angrily: "It's not your turn to speak here, it's not big or small." ”
"Yes, Dad. Gu Qi shut up and retreated, obviously a little angry.
"Qi'er, you go on. Lu Qi glanced at Gu Wumu, "Wu'er, Qi'er is defending your younger brother, what kind of anger are you making?"
"Mother......" Gu Wumu closed his mouth.
With his grandmother's permission, Gu Lin was full of energy and said loudly: "Before going out, my brother's body was not fully recovered, and it wasn't until after the Dharma Propagation Ceremony that my younger brother repeatedly made amazing moves, and the two Hongfa Temple masters were obviously impressed by my younger brother, I guess it could be that in this Dharma Propagation Ceremony, he got some unexpected adventures?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and I am afraid this is the most reasonable explanation.
