Lu Sheng handed over the two ducks to the servants of the Xie Mansion, and then walked through the garden, led by the little maid named Ruozhu, and came to the study on the west side.

Lu Sheng was secretly thinking to himself, the door of the study suddenly opened silently, and a maid opened a curtain embroidered with pine cranes and chaoyang, and a tall young man in Chinese clothes walked out of the room.

The young man was dressed in a fine kudzu cloth with azure straight embellishments, covered with a silver gauze robe, and a golden crown with a thumb-sized southern pearl on the gold crown. He was born with handsome eyebrows, about the same age as Lu Sheng, and smiled without saying a word, making people feel like a spring breeze at first sight, with both the arrogance and elegance of the heavenly nobles, and the gentlemanly bearing of gentlemen like jade. As soon as he stepped out of the door, the attendant draped a large coat with fiery red fur on his shoulders, which made the man even more handsome. The young man turned back and smiled inward, "Ruyun, I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

There was silence in the study, and the young man didn't care, still smiling, looking at Lu Sheng, "......Who is this?" ”

Ruozhu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "His Royal Highness, this is Yulin Wei Lu Gongcao. ”

Lu Sheng suddenly recalled that he had a relationship with those servants a few days ago, so the person in front of him was Sima Yu, the prince of Pengcheng.

He followed the etiquette, bowed down and said: "Cao Lusheng, the secretary of the Qingming Department of the North Twelfth Battalion, see the prince of Pengcheng." ”

After saying that, he was about to kneel, but the prince hurriedly stepped forward to support his arm and stopped: "Lu Gongcao is Ruyun's friend, and you don't have to be polite with me, so you don't have to be polite." ”

Corporal Lixian, modest and polite, and the rumored lustful and merciful gentleman are like two people, but Lu Sheng deeply feels that this person is not good-looking, and he is vigilant. He thanked him with trepidation on his face, stood up, and said abruptly, "I...... The last general was drunk in Xie Ying's mansion a few days ago, and he came to thank him today. ”

The prince smiled more and more happily when he heard this, "If the amount of wine is very good, if you drink with him, you are really asking for hardship." Another day, I drank with Ruyun, and even Gong Cao invited him to get drunk. ”

Lu Sheng hurriedly said: "The last general is very honored. ”

After a few words of greeting, Lu Shenggong sent his son away before stepping into the study.

There was no one outside the study, Xie Ying wrote a letter in front of the bookcase in the inner room, Ruoxia and Ruodie were on the side with the same attendant, and when they saw Lu Sheng coming in, they were busy pouring him a cup of hot tea.

Lu Sheng sat aside and drank tea, while secretly looking at Xie Ying.

Still with long thick black hair, behind the shoulders with plain white silk silk, the Daiqing robe is embellished with pine and bamboo embroidery, calm and relaxed, and there are no traces of being entangled. When the prince mentioned Xie Ying, he was commensurate with the words and was very intimate, thinking that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, and Lu Sheng thought that he was afraid that he was worried about the sky.

When he saw Xie Ying put down his pen, he smiled and said, "I just heard the prince of Pengcheng call you to express the words, but I don't know which two words they are?" ”

Xie Ying frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Do you have a table?" ”

Lu Sheng hugged his fists and said: "The next surname is Lu Mingsheng, and the word is Yang." ”

Ruodie covered her face with her sleeves and laughed quietly on the side, "My master is like a person, a person, the light of the sun, and the son of the sun can be hugged." ”

Lu Shengxin said that this was a coincidence, and said with a sneer: "Self, natural ......"

Xie Ying lowered his eyes and tasted tea, and only said indifferently: "Twenty-four pairs." ”

Ruodie lowered his face, answered the voice, blessed his body, and hung his head and went out.

Seeing Xie Ying's training servant, Lu Sheng became more and more restrained, he had the heart to make friends with Xie Ying, in order to learn his secret technique of healing, but he didn't know where to start, so he blurted out: "Eighty miles east of the city, there is a small Li Zhuang by the river, and it is rumored that there are monsters to haunt him. ”

Xie Ying really raised one eyebrow, Lu Sheng saw that he was interested, and hurriedly cheered up, and repeated what Shen Lun said again, before he hesitated: "Xie Ying, is this the monster of the mountain spirits and wilderness, or is it the mediocrity of Zhuang Nong who disturbs himself?" ”

Xie Ying said: "Bring me the peach wood sword." ”

Lu Sheng had the idea of asking him for advice, and took the half-burned peachwood sword with him, but now he was naturally busy taking it out.

Xie Ying didn't answer, only glanced at it, and sneered: "Shoddy inferior products." With a flick of his sleeve, the half of the remnants of the wood had been burned for three days and three nights without being damaged, and now when he touched the sleeve wind, it turned into black ashes in Lu Sheng's hands, scattering from the cracks in his fingers.

Lu Sheng was still shocked, but the maid was very clever, and immediately took a warm hand towel to clean his hands, Xie Ying had explained: "Ten years of peach trees were struck by lightning, and a low-grade lightning strike wood was formed, because its wood contains a trace of Tiangang Zhengyang's thunder energy, not afraid of flames, and can deter shallow demons, but the effect is meager, it is not as good as your sword." If that Taoist priest only has this ability, he is not as good as an ordinary hunter. ”

Lu Sheng wiped his fingers clean, and said, "Xie Ying, you are grateful for reforging the sword for me." It's just that...... The sword is too sharp now. ”

Xie Ying looked at him coldly, "The fish intestine is too much, the cadre is not evil, and he is not passed down with his sharpness, but you are disgusted." ”

Lu Sheng coughed dryly, but he still stubbornly said: "Divine soldiers have the purpose of divine soldiers, and my sword ...... But most of them are pulled out to scare people, with the purpose of arrest, but there is no need to hurt people. Xie Ying, you also mentioned that the sword is a ritual weapon, not a murder weapon. It's too sharp now, but it's not good to be scared. ”

Xie Ying smiled: "In this case, you find a free time another day, and I will reforge it for you." ”

Lu Sheng didn't expect Xie Ying to be so easy to speak, he was immediately overjoyed, and got up and gave him a long salute, "Gongzi Dade, there is nothing to repay him, he will definitely let him drive one day." ”

Xie Ying said: "Don't wait, let me drive for now." ”

He got up and walked to Bogujia, took down a bronze Boshan furnace that was no more than the size of a palm, and said: "Within five days, go to Xiaolizhuang to spend the night, put this incense burner in the window of the room and light it, remember not to extinguish it all night." On the second day, when the rooster crowed, he extinguished the censer and brought it back to me. ”

Ruosong took the Boshan furnace, put it in a cloth bag with exquisite embroidery, and held it to Lu Sheng with both hands, Lu Sheng took it and responded: "Raise your hands." ”

Xie Ying instructed again: "Ruoxia, take my name and post it to him." ”

Ruoxia agreed, took out a name card from the cabinet, handed it to Lu Sheng, and said with a smile: "Show it to Zhuang Tou, he will help Baoyang Gongzi to act." ”

Lu Sheng took it silently, and finally couldn't help but ask, "...... Xie Ying, what is the relationship between Xie Jin and you? ”

Xie Ying said: "Brother." ”

So it was, Lu Sheng was relieved, and when he saw Xie Ying taking the teacup to send off the guests, he got up to say goodbye, hesitated for a while before leaving, and said: "...... It is rumored that the prince of Pengcheng has been very close to Luo Sanniang in Liuyue Tower recently, if he says anything to you, he can't be trusted. ”

The noble and beautiful boy suddenly laughed, as if Wen Yu was shining, so that people couldn't bear to look away, "What can he say to me?" ”

Lu Sheng hesitated again, and finally just smiled dryly: "It's me who is too careful, farewell." ”

Xie Ying said: "Remember to complete it within five days. ”

This is in Lu Sheng's arms, he promised to answer, then left Xie Mansion, thought about it, and went back to the Qingming Office to write a letter, ordering Baili Xiao to send it to the palace Cao Xie Shilang, only to Yu Linwei to track down a thief, but the thief appeared near Xiao Li Zhuang, so he wanted to go to the village. Xie Jin turned back quickly, only knowing that Zhuang Nong would definitely cooperate with Yu Linwei.

Over there, Xie Ying watched Lu Sheng leave the study, but his smile deepened, but he smiled, but his eyes were still cold and bone-chilling, and he looked a little frightened.

Ruoxia was instructed to leave the study with all the attendants. In the silent room, Xie Ying leaned on the soft couch, supported herself with one hand, and asked as if talking to herself: "Is there anything wrong?" ”

In the study, where there was no one else but him, a deep and deep man's voice suddenly sounded, and the voice said: "There is nothing wrong with it now, but it is unknown in the long run." Childe, although half of the Heavenly Shattering Blade was devoured by me, the remaining part still has monstrous resentment, which can shake people's hearts. Why don't you give it to Xingzenji Temple for offerings, but cast it into a sword, so that the kid can take it with you, and be in danger at all times? If he can't stand the temptation, he will end up with the same fate as Monk Yaoye. ”

Xie Ying still smiled: "I have my own plans." What's more, that Lu Sheng also has some ability, when he captured Yaoye, the hanging pot could shake my Soul Devouring Sword, but it was ineffective against him. Now that the broken blade has been devoured by you, and the power of the remnants is less than thirty percent of the original, and now it can be used by me to use it with the help of his yang energy. ”

The voice sighed: "I think that back then, Xingtian raised troops to fight against the Yellow Emperor and was beheaded at the foot of the Nine Desolations Mountain, but he was fiercely determined, with ** as his eyes and his navel as his mouth, he danced and fought until he was exhausted, how strong his heart was...... Don't underestimate this fragment of the broken blade, if you want to rely on ordinary people to resolve it, it is really dangerous, but I am afraid that Lu Sheng will lose his life. ”

A ray of fire slowly condensed into a faint crane shape in front of Xie Ying's eyes, one-legged and long-necked, and the whole body was red, looming like a mist, but it was only half a foot high, as small as a coral tree.

Xie Ying pinched a little ** from the glass box placed on the ivory table at hand, and gently sprinkled it on the crane shape, the shape of the red spirit object became more and more distinct, he still smiled unchanged, and his voice was cold: "If you lose it, you will lose it, and then try to retrieve the sword, and find another person to solve it." If one person does not succeed, ten people, and if ten people do not succeed, there will be a hundred. ”

The flaming crane slowly raised his head, a pair of dark red eyes that were almost black as if staring at him, and said in a low voice: "Childe, those who achieve great things are certainly not informal. However, if the sin is deep, it will not be good for your heart after all. ”

Xie Ying didn't care, he only waved his hand, "In this case, Haosheng stared at Lu Sheng, I hope that his life is big, and he doesn't have to worry about others." ”

The flaming crane had no choice but to do as it was told, spread its wings, turned into a gray-brown sparrow of its own face, flew out of the window, and disappeared into the gray sky in an instant.

Xie Ying got up at this time, pushed open a door on the inside of the study, and stepped into the clean room.

There is nothing else in the clean room, the four blue brick walls and the floor are polished like mirrors, and the brickwork is tightly seamless, as if it was born as a single piece. There is a Go table on the ground, a game of chess, two cyan futons are arranged on both sides, and on one of them, there is a Taoist in a red robe sitting cross-legged.

That person has chest-length hair, his hair is as black as ink, his eyes are shining, and his spirit is inside, but he can't see his age.

He held a jade-polished white chess piece between his fingers, lowered his eyes and looked at the chess game, and when Xie Ying stepped in, he didn't raise his eyelids, lightly dropped a piece, and said indifferently: "That Yu Lin Lang can resist the resentment of the Xingtian Broken Blade?" This is a rare material, and the teacher is lacking this flavor medicine alchemy. ”

Xie Ying sat down cross-legged on the futon opposite him, still smiling lightly: "It is his creation to be able to get the blue eyes of his teacher, and the disciple will start to arrange for him to disappear into Jianye City without knowing it." ”

The man said: "This is not necessary, when you take his essence blood to forge a sword, you can divide a little with me, try it to be useful, and then make a calculation." ”

Xie Ying swept the chessboard at will, then took a black piece and dropped it, immediately dissolving the advantage of the white seed, and responded: "Just according to the teacher's orders." ”

The man looked at the chess game again, the sunspot was like a broken bamboo, occupying half of the country, frowning slightly and thinking, and sighed: "Ruyun, seeing chess is like seeing people, you will kill all the opponents and leave no way to retreat, which shows that the anger in your heart is too strong, and the resentment is deep, is it still hating that person?" ”

Xie Ying smiled, but still said, "The disciple doesn't complain." ”

The Taoist sighed lightly again, "If you want to live forever, you must know that those who want to live forever must want to accumulate good deeds, be merciful to things, forgive yourself and others, and be benevolent to insects; The hand does not hurt the life, and the mouth does not persuade the trouble...... "His voice is gentle and moist, and when he comes slowly, it is like a pearl and jade colliding, so that the listener is like listening to the sounds of heaven.

Xie Ying's face did not change, and as soon as he said that the teachings were over, he gave a long salute and said: "Thank you for your teachings, but if you lose, you will lose." ”

The Daoist was stunned for a moment, threw the black spot in his hand back to the chess box, and said angrily: "I am your master, I am so aggressive and merciless, criminal!" ”

Xie Ying still smiled lightly, "The disciple doesn't dare, but the teacher will accept it." ”

The man laughed, stood up heroically on his knees, and suddenly sighed: "Ruyun, you are a genius in the sky, and your future achievements will definitely be above the teacher." However, good deeds are difficult to do, evil deeds are easy to do, and if the demons in the heart are not removed, one day, they will be burdened by them. ”

Xie Ying also got up and said solemnly: "The teacher is too worried, the disciple will be disciplined and guarded, and he will never be disturbed by evil demons." ”

The man only turned a deaf ear, stretched his waist, yawned and said, "I look at the kid surnamed Lu, but it's good." The so-called Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, three to all things, all things negative yin and embrace yang, impulsive thought to be harmonious. This Lu hug is more affectionate and gentle, and interacting with him more can neutralize your fierce anger. If you are like a man, let him save his life, and there will be no harm to you. ”

Xie Ying lowered his head slightly and saluted: "The disciple receives the order and sends off the teacher." ”

When he looked up again, the red-robed Taoist was gone.
