Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Sick Tiger Goes South

Chaohu Lake, known as Nanchao in ancient times, is located in the middle of Anhui, Xianghu Lake with the river, Chaohu Lake has excellent geographical conditions, the big rivers all converge here, this place is located in the plain, rich in products, lake crab, whitebait, shrimp, pearl is the famous "four treasures on the water" here, there are countless kinds of delicacies here, people are dizzying, the culture of Jiangnan and Jiangbei is gathered here, and the magic of nature will make it the "land of fish and rice" in Jiangbei.

The mountains and rivers meet here, and many places of interest and beautiful lakes and mountains complement each other, forming a unique scenery of Chaohu Lake.

There are islands in the lake, a Gushan, a Laoshan, at this moment Gushan is near the lake, the two hug each other and stand on the side, enjoying the beautiful scenery in the lake. The woman leaned on the man's arms and asked in a muffled voice, "Brother Xuan, do you really have a way to help me?" The man gently held her hand and said softly: "Naturally it's true, your master just wants a piece of unicorn jade, what's so difficult about this?" ”

It turned out that the two were Yao Yuxi and Yuxuan, the young boy and girl were simple-minded, and the relationship heated up quickly, the two got along for half a month, and they already had a good impression of each other, Yao Yuxi wanted to take Yuxuan back to the north, but she was in love at the moment, and she didn't want to go back too quickly, so Yuxuan took her all the way here.

Yu Xuan asked casually: "Your swordsmanship is so powerful, why are you still so afraid of your master, could it be that he has three heads and six arms, why do you have to get his permission?"

When Yao Yuxi heard him talk about it, his apricot face suddenly changed color, and he said in a dull voice: "Master doesn't have three heads and six arms, just an old monk!" Yu Xuan's eyes condensed slightly, and asked, "Old monk?" Yao Yuxi nodded and continued: "But his martial arts and strategies are very powerful, even ten of them are not opponents." ”

"So powerful!" When Yu Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but think: "Could it be him!" Yao Yuxi looked at his expression and said, "It seems that you already know?" Yu Xuan nodded and said: "When there are two most famous monks today, one is good at strength, and the other is good at wisdom, listen to what you say, plus your surname is Yao, then your master should be the one who is good at wisdom!"

Yao Yuxi said with a trembling voice, and said in a low voice: "Well, Master's nickname is "Sick Tiger Monk", and his common surname is Yao, and I have his surname. ”

"Don't worry!" Yu Xuan stroked her back and comforted: "No matter how powerful his martial arts are, I will take you away!" Yao Yuxi heard this, and his heart gradually calmed down, but he leaned on his chest and stopped talking.

Just as the two of them were feeling at ease, they suddenly heard a sound of clapping, and the two looked back, but it was a young and beautiful woman walking slowly. When Yao Yuxi saw the woman's appearance, she suddenly looked slightly flustered on her face, only to see her push Yuxuan away, and then asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

But said that this woman was smiling, holding a sword in her hand, wearing a purple shirt, wearing fast boots on her feet, a ribbon around her waist, and a green silk hair was only pinned with a golden hairpin, and her face was even more beautiful and abnormal. I only heard her ask, "What's the matter, don't you welcome me?" When Yao Yuxi faced her, she seemed to be uneasy in her heart, and just whispered: "Senior sister misunderstood, little sister doesn't dare!"

Yu Xuan saw the visitor, but he shook his clothes and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you! I haven't seen you for many days, and the girl is more heroic than when she first met that day, which is really gratifying!" Yao Yuxi was quite surprised when he heard him say this, and asked, "Do you know each other?" Yu Xuan nodded and explained with a smile: "When I left Guiwang City that day, I had a relationship with her, and your senior sister said that she came from the south, saying that she wanted to report the news!"

"Senior sister has been traveling abroad for many years, and she has indeed just returned from the south. Yao Yuxi frowned and asked, "But...... Why don't I know about this?" The woman suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, and only said after a while: "Master has always been clever, how can he tell you everything about his old man's arrangement, you don't know that this matter is normal, why are there so many problems!" But seeing that she suddenly turned around and saluted Yu Xuan, she said, "Little woman Yingying, didn't you ask the name of the son?"

Yu Xuan was very annoyed by her sudden appearance, and she was already secretly angry in her heart, and she was not polite when she heard her words at the moment, so she naturally didn't have a good face, but because she was Yao Yuxi's senior sister, she just said indifferently: "The girl came today, why did you want me to help you show the way?"

"No, I'm only here for the Kirin Jade. Huan Ying didn't care about his ridicule of bringing up the old things, just shook her head, and asked Yao Yuxi, "Senior sister can get the jade pendant?" Yu Xuan didn't wait for Yao Yuxi to speak, and said to himself: "Although the jade pendant didn't get it, but I have this living map!

Huan Ying's face turned cold, and she nodded: "The son's martial arts are strong, and the little woman is far inferior, so I am naturally afraid that you will leave suddenly." Yu Xuan smiled and asked, "What does the girl think when she looks at my face?" Yu Ying was stunned when she heard this, then carefully observed Yu Xuan for a while, and said: "Seeing that your face is blue, your steps are frivolous and your limbs are weak, could it be poisoned?" Yu Xuan smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and pointed at Yao Yuxi, the meaning could not be more obvious. Huan Ying nodded to Yao Yuxi and said, "Senior sister has done a good job, I will definitely report it to the master and let him reward you well." ”

"Then I'll thank Senior Sister so much!" Yao Yuxi didn't look at Yu Ying, but looked at Yu Xuan, and couldn't help but look worried. Seeing that the two of them were quite strange, Huan Ying was a little stunned for a while, and secretly thought to herself: "Why does the senior sister keep staring at him, what does the two have to do with it? This kid has been poisoned and has been captured, why can he be so calm?"

Huan Ying's mind was quick, and she turned her head to Yu Xuan and said, "Gongzi is worthy of being a personal disciple of the Wind God, and he really has an extraordinary bearing. Yu Xuan spread his hands and chuckled: "The girl is serious, if she is captured by others, the kid will already cry and make trouble, but the two girls look like fairies, they can be planted in your hands, it's too late for the kid to be grateful!"

After all, this Ying is just a girl, although she is not a newcomer, but after all, she is young, and the two are not the first time to meet, when they saw each other, they also had a good impression in their hearts, and when they heard him praise themselves at this moment, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle: "Childe is really extraordinary, as long as you can go with us, we will not embarrass you." Yu Xuan smiled, nodded again and again, and hurriedly agreed: "This is nature, this is nature, the girl is relaxed." ”

"It seems that Miss Huanying is not only like a fairy, but also a good girl with a kind heart. Yu Xuan took two steps forward, grabbed Huan Ying's arm, and said with a smile, "Let's go!" Huan Ying thought that he was going to sneak attack, that is, to break free, but before he could break free, he felt that he was not exerting his strength, and then he remembered that Yu Xuan could no longer use martial arts, so he gave up again.

It turned out that Yu Xuan didn't make any moves, just gently held her, Yao Yuxi saw that he and Huan Ying were suddenly so close, and her heart was pantothenic for a while, but she was arrogant, and no matter how annoyed she was, she wouldn't show it, she just snorted coldly and followed.

Yu Xuan was silent, and suddenly turned around and smiled at her lightly, Yao Yuxi saw that his smile was a little strange, and his heart was even more angry, so he snorted angrily and ignored him.

But said that the three of them couldn't walk a few steps, Yu Xuan suddenly said: "Oh! I heard that this whitebait in the river has no scales and the meat is delicate, not only is it very delicious, but also the woman's food can make the skin smoother, it is a delicacy that cannot be eaten in the north, since we pass through here, we can't miss it in vain, why don't you wait here for a while, how about I catch a few tails to satisfy my hunger?"

"That's not going to work. Huan Ying said, "Let's go together." Yu Xuan laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of tiring you!" Yao Yuxi dismantled the stage and said: "In case you run away, where are we going to reason?" Yu Xuan smiled embarrassedly, shook his head again and again, and said: "Don't run, don't run!"

The two followed Yuxuan all the way to the lake, but because of the difference between men and women, it was quite inconvenient to get wet at the moment, so neither of them went into the water, but only let Yuxuan go down. However, he said that although Yuxuan rarely went to the south of the Yangtze River, when he returned to Wangcheng, he often went to the lake to fish and be naughty. Therefore, he is very familiar with all this, and it does not take him half an hour to catch fish and shrimp. As soon as the three of them entered the door, they heard Yuxuan shouting loudly: "Come on, man, and make me these fish and shrimp." ”

A fellow hurried over, he took the fish basket, looked inside, it was densely packed with whitebait, this whitebait was very small and very light, and at this time there were seven or eight catties of whitebait in the basket. The guy couldn't help but admire: "The guest officer has such a good ability, he was able to catch so many whitebait, which opened my eyes!" Yu Xuan picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table, lightly tapped the chopsticks twice on the table, and asked, "Little brother, how many dishes can this whitebait make?"

The guy didn't look at Yu Xuan, but glanced at Huan Ying, and then replied: "That's it! Let's make a West Lake whitebait soup with these whitebait, just to replenish the body of a few young ladies, and make a whitebait porridge, which is suitable for you men and women, as for these shrimps, let's make you a spicy shrimp, what do you think?" Yu Xuan listened to him for a long time, he was already hungry, a pair of chopsticks in his hand knocked on the guy's wrist, wiped the corners of his mouth again, and said, "You go and do it quickly." ”

The guy looked back at the pain, and saw that it was Yuxuan who hit him, and it was inconvenient to have a seizure, so he laughed but didn't leave, and said: "Forgive me, three, we can do it, but this is all to be charged separately." Yu Xuan nodded again and again, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry, just do it yourself, the salary is indispensable to you!"

As soon as these words came out, the fellow muttered, "Why did you bring two more people here?" He peeked as he walked, and went off to work. Yu Xuan did not doubt him, and said to the two: "When I first came to Jiangnan, I knew that the food in the south was exquisite, and it was not much better than the official family, but unfortunately there was no one to accompany me to taste, and today the two young ladies walked together, which is really a great blessing for Yu Xuan!"

Yao Yuxi was angry in his heart, and couldn't help but hum: "Let's eat early and leave! We still have to go north!" Yuxuan said while playing with chopsticks: "Yuxi, don't worry! It's still early at the moment, let's eat first and then leave." But Xiang Ying also said: "Don't worry, let's rest here for one night and then make plans." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other two were stunned and couldn't help but look at her together. Yu Xuan frowned and pondered: "I delayed in every way before, but this girl was urging all the way, why is she suddenly not in a hurry at this moment?" Yao Yuxi secretly glanced at Yu Xuan, secretly happy in his heart, but asked strangely: "Senior sister, I can't help but have a lot of dreams at night, let's not stay here, right?"

Huan Ying smiled mysteriously, looked up and instructed the man: "All the food and drink are according to the pattern of yesterday, and then make another one and send it to the room." ”

The guy hurriedly agreed, and said: "Don't worry, the dishes in this store are definitely second to none, didn't the master praise us for doing a good job after eating it yesterday!" Yu Xuan was secretly paying attention, when he heard the guy say the word "master", his tone was slightly special, and he seemed to be a little low, and he couldn't help but suddenly wake up: "Master, it has something to do with the two of them, could it be him?"

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Xuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and when he looked up, Yao Yuxi's face was also blue, and he had already guessed that there were other people in the store.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and the three of them looked back, only to see the two of them walking down the stairs one after the other.

The person who came down first had a ring scar on his head, was dressed in black, and had an unfazed expression on his face, and he was Zhu Di's chief military advisor -- Dao Yan, who was known as the sick tiger monk in the rivers and lakes; the other person, Yu Xuan, was all too familiar, and it was actually his sister -- Yu Mo! Yu Xuan saw that although she was unharmed, her face was sad, and she thought that she was also restrained.

Yao Yuxi saw Dao Yan, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "The apprentice has seen the master!" Dao Yan was expressionless, but said indifferently: "Sit down! Don't be polite!" Yao Yuxi couldn't, so he had to sit down according to his words. Yu Xuan had a relationship with Dao Yan when he was a child, but now that he sees him again, he can't be happy in his heart, so he has to laugh and say: "Mr. Yao, you are the military advisor of King Yan, you have been living in Beiping, and you have rarely entered the rivers and lakes, but for some reason you suddenly came south?

"Are you okay?" Yuxuan looked up and asked his sister, Yumo sighed and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that the meridians are controlled and I can't improve my strength." Hearing this, Yu Xuan was a little calmer, nodded at her, and signaled to her to rest assured, but she was secretly worried in her heart.

"The little donor hasn't seen him for many years, but he is still so spirited!" Dao Yan suddenly smiled and said: "The old man wants to say that this is all for you! As for the little donor of Yumo?

It turned out that when the two first met, Yu Xuan had just been rescued, and he was seriously injured, and his spirit was naturally not good, and his body was highly poisonous at the moment, and his complexion naturally did not look good, Dao Yan's words were quite sarcastic.

Yu Xuan snorted: "If you say it's for someone else, it's still possible, but if you say it's for me, where do you start?"

"Don't hide it from the little benefactor!" Dao Yan sighed: "The court and the lord's army have been at war for a long time, and the lord has fought the world with his own strength, but at this moment it is already a follow-up weakness, and the treasury is even more empty. ”

"You're honest enough. Yu Xuan turned the chopsticks in his hand lightly and said with a smile: "Since you are here for the Qilin Treasure, you shouldn't come to me!"

Dao Yan frowned and asked, "Has your master ever mentioned to you about the Qilin Treasure?" Yu Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said, "Master is plain by nature, how can he mention such a mundane thing." ”

It turns out that although Guiwangcheng does not have much wealth, there has always been no shortage of gold and silver treasures, Yuxuan was born in the royal family, and he has a big temperament, plus Wang Aya has always been to this younger brother, so Yuxuan has no special concept of wealth and goods, so he knows nothing about what Dao Yan asks.

Dao Yan nodded, and suddenly asked, "That Qilin Jade is still on you, right?" As soon as he said this, the other two immediately looked at Yu Xuan together, especially Yao Yuxi, she opened her heart to someone for the first time since she came out of the valley, but at this moment, she learned that she had been deceived, and she couldn't help but be furious in her heart.

"Not bad!" Yu Xuan glanced at Yao Yuxi, saw her face with anger, couldn't help sighing, and said, "It's still on me." Dao Yan smiled and said: "I think so, after all, my apprentice is a daughter, and she is shy by nature, if she wants to search your body, it will be inconvenient, but fortunately, Lao Wei has arranged for Huan Ying to come in advance." ”

Yu Xuan sighed: "This jade pendant is entrusted by the master, I must protect it, originally I couldn't give it to you no matter what, but now ......" Dao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and asked, "What now?" Yu Xuan said: "As long as you promise one thing, it doesn't hurt to give you the jade pendant!" Yu Xuan said while looking at Yao Yuxi.

"Little donor, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Yu Xuan snorted at Yao Yuxi and said, "If you give her back her free body, I will give you the jade pendant." Dao Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "The little donor has fallen in love with me!" Yuxuan and Yao Yuxi listened to him break it, and their faces were red, especially Yao Yuxi, a pair of jade hands kneaded the corners of their clothes vigorously, as if they were going to crush it.

"Hahahaha!" Dao Yan smiled: "If it is something else, it will be fine, but this matter is not good." Yu Xuan frowned and asked, "Aren't you agreeing that if she brings back the Qilin Jade, will you give her back her freedom?" Dao Yan said: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing, but now that the Qilin Jade has been discovered by myself, this agreement will not be counted." ”

When Yao Yuxi heard this, he was immediately shocked: "Master, you ......" Dao Yan ignored her, and said: "Besides, she didn't complete it as agreed, but she still liked the mission goal, and if she was not punished, she would be kind, how could she return her freedom?"

"In this way, it is useless to give you the jade pendant?" Yu Xuan gently put down the chopsticks and said, "It seems that you want to use it strongly!" Dao Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "The old man hasn't done it for many years. He turned to Yao Yuxi again and said, "If you can kill him this time, and then hand over the jade pendant to me, our previous agreement will still count." ”

Yu Xuan snorted: "Old fellow, you have repeatedly deceived us, do you still expect us to believe you?" Dao Yan said: "Amitabha! As long as Yuxi kills you, and then hand over the jade pendant to Lao Wei personally, Lao Ke will be able to speak." ”

"Don't believe him! This old guy looks like a monk on the surface, but in fact he is ruthless. Yu Xuan saw Yao Yuxi bowing her head and was silent, worried that she would be provoked by Dao Yan, so he said: "He is a rare scheming warlock today, and he is deceiving you!"

Yao Yuxi raised his head suddenly, tears flashed in his eyes, and suddenly said: "But there is no other way, right!" Yuxuan heard her say this, knowing that she would not dare to disobey her master after all, and couldn't help but secretly scream in her heart: "Oops!"

At this moment, Yao Yuxi slapped the table with his left hand, and the person had already left the stool, and his right hand grabbed Yuxuan's throat. The distance between the two was only three feet, Yu Xuan saw her ruthless moves, and hurriedly lay down, lying flat on the stool, patting the edge of the table with his right hand, the person had already left the stool, watching his figure rotate twice, and leaning firmly against the door.

Seeing Yu Xuan's body so flexible, several people present couldn't help but be stunned, isn't Yu Xuan highly poisonous in his body, and he can't use his skills? Yao Yuxi pointed at him, speechless in surprise: "You, why are you ......" Yu Xuan flicked his sleeves and smiled: "Are you asking why my martial arts have recovered?" Yao Yuxi nodded stunned.

"Do you remember when I went into the water to fish?" Yu Xuan saw that they were stunned, and only then said: "I have taken advantage of the time to detoxify the water!" Dao Yan sighed: "It is worthy of being Mr. Feng's apprentice, and it is really amazing!" He turned his head to Yao Yuxi and said: "If I guess correctly, when he went into the water, he had already transferred the poison he had in the water to the water with the help of the lake water, and after the fish and shrimp were poisoned, he had no ability to escape, so he was able to catch so many fish and shrimp in a short time." ”

Huan Ying suddenly asked, "Master, why does his face keep turning blue, as if he was poisoned?" Dao Yan groaned: "I don't know the reason for this, maybe it is because he divides yin and yang, the yin and cold strength is exposed, and the yang and flame strength are introverted, so that there is this vision." ”

Yu Xuan snorted: "I am worthy of being a senior in the rivers and lakes, and I can deduce how I detoxified with just a few words." Dao Yan smiled and said: "The little donor has won the prize! I advise you to tie up your hands and catch it!" Yu Xuan suddenly smiled playfully and said, "Do you think I will?"

The three of them have been with Yu Xuan for a short time, and they don't know much about his character, so they are a little uncertain for a while, but they think that Yu Xuan is the apprentice of the current grandmaster, and he should have a strong personality and will not be easy to comply.

Just when the three of them were thinking, Yu Xuan suddenly had a seizure, seeing that his footwork was strange, it was extremely fast, and he came to Yumo's side in an instant, he connected the big hole on Yumo's chest, Yumo's body was loosened, and his action was restored.

At this time, Yao Yuxi suddenly reacted, the short sword came out of his sleeve, and in a flash, he went straight to Yumo's throat, Yuxuan knew that his sister was free for the first time, although her body was free, but her meridian bones were still soft, and she had not yet recovered as usual, far less agile than usual, so she immediately hugged Yumo, and her body turned back, and her right hand pulled out the Qiushui sword from Yumo's waist, and cut several moves in a row, retreating while fighting, which was able to block Yao Yuxi's attack.

Seeing that Yuxuan's body was in distress, Huan Ying had been protecting Yumo, and suddenly the long sword came out of its sheath and stabbed at Yumo. Yuxuan couldn't do it, the Qiushui Sword stopped Yao Yuxi, and slammed his left hand at Yu Ying. Unexpectedly, he had to deal with his junior sister and take care of his sister, so he was still distracted.

But at this time, Dao Yan suddenly made a move, seeing that he had been behind Yao Yuxi, and at this moment he suddenly attacked from under her ribs, Yu Xuan was caught off guard, and had no power to resist, so in a hurry, he had to hurriedly retreat, but his chest was still hit by the palm force.

Yao Yuxi was frightened when he saw him retreating, his footwork was a little messy, and he didn't want a short sword to stab like a shuttle. Yu Xuan is already unavoidable at the moment, if he dodges, the sister behind him will inevitably be injured, if he doesn't hide, he is afraid that he will be injured even more, and he has no choice but to do so, Yu Xuan gritted his teeth, stepped forward violently, and was forced to suffer Yao Yuxi's sword.

"Hmm!" Yu Xuan snorted in pain, and Yao Yuxi's short sword penetrated through his body, and it actually pierced his body hard. Yu Xuan's figure was backwards, looking at him accurately, at this time, the toes kicked upward, just kicking Yao Yuxi's wrist, but he used the power of this palm and a sword to hug Yumo and break through the wooden wall.

Yao Yuxi only felt a pain in his wrist, and the short sword suddenly left his hand, and he saw Yuxuan break through the wall, and then he didn't stop at his feet, and took advantage of the situation to leave. I only heard Yu Xuan's more and more ethereal voice coming from outside the hole: "The old guy is worthy of the old guy, he is really scheming, and he didn't notice it for a while, and he actually suffered a big loss under your hands!

Yao Yuxi saw that he had injured Yu Xuan, looked at the blood stained in his hands, and felt that he couldn't help it, and suddenly a displeased voice came from his ears: "Chase!" Yao Yuxi looked back, only to see Dao Yan standing behind him, his face was like frost, Yao Yuxi suddenly remembered in his heart that Fang Cai Yuxuan was injured for no reason, and the strong wind under his ribs protruded, it turned out that the master had made a move.
