16.Chapter 16

Snow silk covers the condensation, and the red candle tent is fragrant.

This young Yu Linwei has been practicing swords since he was a child, and he has been practicing diligently, and at this time his upper body is exposed, with clear textures, even flesh and bones, and delicate collarbones exposed under his slender neck, which actually looks a little delicious.

Xie Ying lowered his eyes and looked at the young man for a moment, before taking out a flat black lacquered wooden box from the cabinet next to him, and when he opened the wooden box, he revealed a neatly stacked row of silver needles, the silver needles were more than a foot long, as thin as cow's hair, and they were illuminated by candlelight, shining like ice crystals.

He took out one, roasted it carefully on the charcoal brazier in the room, stroked the two fingers of his left hand, slid down Lu Sheng's chest, and then pierced a needle into the flesh of his heart. The silver needle that is more than a foot long is gone.

Lu Sheng closed his eyes and fell asleep, but he only frowned slightly, Xie Ying gently rubbed a few times on the top of his head, and he tamed it again, and was silent.

Xie Ying waited for him to calm down, then pulled out the long needle, and two drops of red blood rolled along the slender needle, falling into two crystal vials that were as clear as ice sculptures.

But after taking two drops, the energetic young man looked much haggard.

Xie Ying took out a jade box from his arms, only containing a green pill the size of a soybean, as soon as the lid of the box was opened, a faint fragrance suddenly overflowed, just smelling it, it was refreshing.

Xie Ying pinched Lu Sheng's teeth and poured the elixir into his mouth.

The elixir melted in his mouth, followed the young man's unconscious swallowing, and absorbed it cleanly.

The young man tasted the sweetness, and the tip of his tongue swept his lips, licking the originally dry lips into a moist one, as if a little dried cinnabar had been moistened and dissolved, making his lips glow a tempting thin red.

Xie Ying still pinched his cheek, lowered his eyes, and lingered on his lips and jaws for a long time before he let go of his hand, pulled on his middle coat for Lu Sheng, and put it on carefully, but then casually peeled off his coat and covered it tightly with a quilt, and then put away the silver needle and the two crystal vials and walked out of the guest room.

When the two maids guarding the door saw Xie Ying, they curtsied and saluted, and Xie Ying instructed the two to take care of the guests, and then returned to the study and entered the secret room.

The Taoist in the jujube red robe is standing with his hands in his hands, admiring a painting hanging on the wall.

Hearing the sound at the door, the man spoke: "The son of Qianshan is both unique in calligraphy and painting, but he has lost his loneliness and few humanity, but now he has become mellow. ”

The name of the painting is the moon shining on the white reed, the painting is under the half-round waning moon, a white sandbar, a few reeds are in the flowering period, and the reed flowers are like snow wool. Everything is lonely, but under the reeds there are two wild ducks sleeping with their necks crossed, which suddenly makes this cold picture reveal a quiet and peaceful taste.

Xie Ying said: "When I was painting, someone sent two roast ducks on a whim. ”

The man couldn't help laughing and said, "Who actually sent you two roast ducks......" He didn't finish speaking, when he saw the crystal bottle in Xie Ying's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't care about being verbose, he stepped forward a few steps, took the crystal bottle with both hands, looked at the bright red in the transparent bottle, and muttered: "Just for this little medicinal material, it cost me a thousand gold Yangrong pills, and I don't know if this transaction is a profit or a loss." ”

Xie Ying handed back the empty green jade locket and said, "The teacher takes care of the overall situation, so naturally he will not be blinded by the little gains and losses in front of him." ”

The man opened the lid of the box, reluctantly sniffed the residual aroma of the pill, and then accepted the small box and sighed: "Being generous to others, it is natural to say it lightly." It took more than three months to refine three Qianjin Yangrong Pills, one was dedicated to the prince, one was taken by yourself, and the last one was fed to others by you. If you refine it again, you don't know how much effort it will take to collect medicinal herbs......"

Xie Ying folded his hands and saluted, bowed his head and said solemnly: "He opened the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum every day, and his teacher is naturally the first hero." ”

The Taoist was stunned for a moment, but he no longer complained, and only sighed deeply: "Ruyun, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for the teacher to take you on this path...... Don't be resentful as a teacher in the future. ”

Xie Ying raised his eyes to look at him, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, all of which are the disciple's own cause and effect. The teacher saved the disciple's life, and the kindness was recreated, how could the disciple be resentful. ”

The Taoist snorted: "The mouth of the lotus flower is beautiful, if you are really reasonable, why don't you want to go home?" Seeing that the New Year is approaching and everyone is reunited, your father will miss you tightly......"

Xie Ying's smile did not change, and he only lowered his eyes slightly, hiding his suddenly cold eyes, "What benefits did the teacher accept from that person, and he wanted to be a lobbyist for him?" ”

The man blew his beard and glared, "What this man and that man, that's your father!" ”

Xie Ying said: "The teacher said yes, and the disciple naturally has no reason to refute it. ”

The man choked, looked at the solemn and obedient young man in front of him, couldn't say another half a word, and sighed for a while: "You hedgehog." That's it, these grievances and grievances of your Xie family have nothing to do with me, no matter what, no matter! ”

While babbling and complaining, he flicked his sleeves and left the secret room straight -

When Lu Sheng woke up, it was still dark and silent, except for a small movement in the outer room, and then someone entered with a candlestick to illuminate the indoor furnishings, but it was a maid in Tsing Yi, her face was vaguely familiar, and she said softly: "Lu Gongzi is awake." ”

Behind the maid in Tsing Yi, a maid in an orange dress held a tray and served him hot tea. Lu Sheng was very thirsty, so he sat up and drank half a cup of weak tea, only then did he feel refreshed and energetic, and there was no sign of hangover and headache at all.

He handed the teacup to the maid in the orange dress, and then said, "Thank you for this ......."

The maid held a white porcelain teacup painted with wisteria flowers, and said with a smile: "The maid's name is Ruoqing, this is Ruoshuang, and the two of us serve Lu Gongzi in the name of the master." ”

If the sun is pretty, if the frost is delicate, if the xia is graceful, if the butterfly is pretty, the four maids around Xie Ying, all of them are born in a thousand shapes, but it is really a blessing.

Lu Sheng was a little uncomfortable, and asked again: "Thank you two girls, what time is it now?" Xie Ying...... But sleeping? ”

Ruoqing replied: "At the beginning of the hour, my master has never slept, and he is in the backyard. ”

Lu Sheng's heart moved, and then asked, "What is Tiangonglu?" ”

Ruoqing replied: "It is the place where my master chops the qin and forges the sword." ”

Only then did Lu Sheng realize that his saber was not by his side, so he hurriedly lifted the quilt and got up, and when Ruoshuang saw this, he hurriedly took his coat for him and put it on.

He asked a question, "...... On that day, will I go? ”

Ruoshuang Ruoqing waited for him to dress, and said with a clever smile: "If Lu Gongzi wants to go, he will naturally go." ”

Although Lu Sheng felt that what the two maids said was meaningful, he couldn't find anything wrong, but he was suspicious, so he hurriedly washed and repaired, and was led by a small servant, through the courtyard corridor, across the nine-curved bridge, and along a pebble path in the courtyard for half a tea, only to see three large wooden houses side by side in front of him, and at this time, the leftmost window revealed a melting fire.

Another taller guy was guarding the intersection, and when he saw Lu Sheng, he smiled and said, "Lu Gongzi wants to see my master?" Please wait, the small ones will be reported. ”

Lu Sheng saw that this place was heavily guarded, but he was afraid that Pingsuli would not allow outsiders to enter, so he hesitated: "If it's inconvenient...... I'll go back to the front yard first......"

The little guy hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Convenient, convenient!" Lu Gongzi wait for a while! ”

Before he could move, as soon as the door of the wooden house opened, another servant hurriedly trotted over, and said to Lu Shengyi: "Lu Gongzi is here, my master has invited Lu Gongzi in." ”

This Xie Ying is really a clever calculation, Lu Sheng can't help but be a little unconvinced, I just hope that one day, he will surprise him.

Although he was not convinced, Lu Sheng still entered the wooden house, and suddenly the heat wave rolled in, and the clanging sound of several metal knocks was deafening, and I don't know what method Xie Ying used, so that there was no sound outside.

Lu Sheng survived the heat wave before he saw the furnishings in the house, and in the innermost corner of the house stood a huge stone and brick stove, connected to the bellows and chimney, and the structure was solid and exquisite. A mountain of charcoal was piled against the wall, a large water tank half a man high was placed in the other corner, and in the middle of the house was an iron cutting board the size of a door that fell horizontally, and the gray surface was covered with gold and stone debris.

A young man was standing in front of a chopping board, holding a sword in his hand, and was polishing the blade of the sword with a grinding stone. His hair was all tied up, his left shirt was peeled, and he was shirtless, revealing a strong body like an iron cast, with clear furrows between the ups and downs of the wheat-colored texture, as if containing infinite strength, and the beads of sweat were crystal clear, rolling down the skin, and there was a very fragrant taste.

Lu Sheng only felt that the heat in this room was too high.

He had to turn to secretly estimate that this person was so strong and powerful, if he fought him, he might be invincible in strength, and if he outwitted him with agile moves, the victory or defeat was still five or five...... It's just that this person can also use strange spells, which is inevitably suspected of cheating.

He was about to get into his senses, but he heard Xie Ying sneer: "When do you want to see it?" ”

Lu Sheng looked away, but said, "I almost can't recognize my chest and abdomen." ”

The corners of Xie Ying's mouth hooked, and he smiled: "I can recognize it when I change places." "Because I've seen it for a long time.

Lu Sheng naturally didn't understand what he meant, and smiled lightly: "That's nature." I'm just a vulgar martial artist, but who would have expected the appearance...... Saipan'an's Xie Gongzi is so fierce when he is stripped naked. Lu Sheng stubbornly blocked the four words of beauty like a flower in his mouth, and secretly said that it was dangerous.

Xie Ying didn't hear it, just snorted, put down the grinding stone, and handed the long sword to Lu Sheng with his backhand, "Try it." ”

Lu Sheng hurriedly took the sword, only to feel that the weight, length, and feel were just right, the increase was heavier, the decrease was lighter, the longer was heavier, the shorter was lost in agility, and the perfection was perfect, as if it was tailor-made for him.

The blade of the sword shone with silver light, and Lu Sheng slashed down towards the wooden man in the middle of the room, with a soft sound, two points into the wood, but the sharpness was not lost, neither was it completely deterrent, nor would it be a miss, cutting the suspect into two pieces.

Lu Sheng smiled and looked at Xie Ying deeply, "Gongzi Xie is very kind, and he is unforgettable." ”

Xie Ying looked at him as if he had got a favorite toy, full of joy and couldn't put it down, carefully put the sheath on his waist, and said to himself: "Since it is a sword, it is natural to have a name, it is better to call it a hanging pot." ”

Xie Ying stared at him, but Lu Sheng didn't have the slightest self-awareness, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yaoye is like a murderer, and he dares to claim to be hanging a pot to help the world, but he lives up to this name." Starting today, my baby is also called the hanging pot. ”

Xie Ying snorted and responded, "It's also pleasing to the ear." ”

Lu Sheng was encouraged, and he became more and more overjoyed, said goodbye to Xie Ying, and rushed to the camp to order something.

It wasn't until the end of the day when the documents were counted and written, but Master Liu was not in a hurry to leave, but looked at Lu Sheng thoughtfully, but made Lu Shenghu suspicious, and asked, "What else is the matter with Master Liu?" ”

Master Liu shook his head, but said, "I see that Lu Gongcao is different from the past, but I can't see any difference. ”

Lu Sheng was stunned: "What's the difference?" ”

Master Liu twisted his beard and said in a deep voice: "The eyes are bright and bright, the breath is heavy and long, and the spirit is vigorous, it must have encountered a good thing." ”

Lu Sheng glanced at the hanging pot erected in the simple grid in the room, the corners of his mouth rose, and said with a smile: "Master Liu has good eyesight. ”

Master Liu was about to speak, when the door of the study was pushed open, but it was Ji Chong who broke in and shouted, "Brother Lu! A young man Xie sent someone to wait at the door, please go down to meet him. ”

Unexpectedly, Xie Ying was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he was so attentive after getting acquainted, he only parted in the morning, and came to see him again in the evening.

Lu Sheng coughed lightly, raised his hand to block the smile on his face, and said: "I'm afraid there is something to ......" While explaining, he took off the hanging pot and hurriedly walked out of the door.

The blue-curtained carriage stopped at the door, and the four corners were hung with glazed sheep's horn palace lamps, and a word of thanks was written on it, but the coachman and attendant next to the carriage were very angry, and Lu Sheng stopped and frowned slightly.
