Chapter 12: The Fairy in the Woods

Qingxu Zhenren thought about it with a small teapot, shook his head and smiled:

"The world is too big to assert. However, Zuo Zhexian must have left three volumes, the last volume is his lifelong martial arts experience, before Emperor Xiaozong broke Chang'an, I also went to look for it once, but unfortunately it was stolen, and I don't know who it fell on......

…… As for the four pieces of jade, it should be the entrance gift that Zuo Zhe gave to the four apprentices hundreds of years ago, except for the one that was handed down by Prince Zuo of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the others were sent back and forth over the past few hundred years, and scattered all over the world. When the ancestors of the Cao family in Yueyang were in the previous dynasty, they won a string of sword spikes with people about the sword, and there was a jade buckle on it, which was hung on the Zhanlu sword of the Cao family, and it is still offered in the ancestral hall......

…… I heard that the old man in Yuelu Mountain also has one in his hand, which seems to be a hairpin, but the old immortal is a true immortal, and it is harder to find than me. I have not heard of the rest of it, and I don't know where it is......"

"Hairpin ......"

Xu Buling nodded thoughtfully, and asked instead:

"The Cao family is also a wealthy family of swords, 'Zhu Lu Cao' has been standing on three legs for hundreds of years, although the head of the family Cao Qujian is not as good as Zhu Choushan and my grandfather, but the Cao family is still there, ten years ago, he suddenly raised the clan to seal the sword and retired from the rivers and lakes to sell crabs, which is a bit of a pity. There are a lot of rumors in the rivers and lakes, and there are even those who say that the Cao family is a tiger, can the old Taoist know the reason? ”

Qingxu Zhenren sighed: "It's old, it's not good to expose people's shortcomings, and it's not easy to evaluate the poor road." Cao Jiajian is famous for its 'fast', what he pursues is to be fierce and swift and have no regrets, and when he encounters something that he is ashamed of, he is like your uncle Lu Baiming, he can't think about it all his life, and if he wants to open it, he is not a Jianghu person......

…… Cao Qujian is a serious Jianghu person, I also pointed out a few times back then, people are no problem, but people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, some things are wrong, and Cao Qujian can't be blamed......

…… You worshiped Ning Yuhe as a master, you should know Ning Qingye. When the little girl had an accident in the early night, it was Cao Qujian who secretly came here to intercede with me, so that the girl in the early night was saved......"

Xu Buling was thoughtful, and was about to ask something else, but Lin Yuzhen, who was lying on the corpse next to him, coughed twice, and finally eased up.

"Ahem—"

Lin Yuzhen's eyes were a little clear, so he turned over, touched his chest and head, and made sure that it was still there, and his face changed slightly:

"What the hell, old fairy, I had a nightmare just now, and I met a fairy ......"

As soon as he said a word, he saw Xu Buling and Nightingale, who were sitting in front of the small stove next to him, all looking at him with strange expressions.

"Uh......"

The horror on Lin Yuzhen's face immediately subsided, made a light appearance, raised his hand and hugged his fist:

"Xu Gongzi is really good and has been taught."

Xu Buling chuckled: "Brother Lin is not bad, the strongest one I have met in my life, it is estimated that it is Brother Lin." ”

Lin Yuzhen was a little embarrassed on his face, walked to the small stove and sat down, and rubbed his chest with a faint pain:

"Xu Gongzi, your 'Qingkui' is a bit unworthy of the name, just by virtue of Fang Cai, it is estimated that it is no problem to beat two Tang Jiao, which is enough to be called the first in the world. If I hadn't been subjected to this, I would never have believed that anyone in the world could shoot so quickly. ”

Qingxu Daoist raised his hand slightly: "Don't praise people, Qingkui is Qingkui, and you can't be called the first in the world before you fight." You can't even beat Qingkui, so go back and practice for a few more years, and when you are sure, you will come back to Daozi, it's too early. ”

Lin Yuzhen can also afford to lose, and when he suffers a loss, he naturally sees the gap, and he also dissipates his ambition at the moment, and raises his hand:

"I still don't know much, so I'll go back and practice again. It is often said that if you don't fight, you don't know each other, since Xu Gongzi has arrived in Chudi, he also pointed his finger at Lin, no matter what, he has to do the friendship of the landlord, my Lin family has a martial arts hall in Yueyang, if Xu Gongzi walks to Dongting Lake, he must be informed, so that Lin can give Xu Gongzi a wind and dust. ”

Xu Buling naturally has no rejection for some Jianghu people who have good ability and temperament:

"I have heard the name of the Lin family's gun for a long time, and I have also stolen a lot, if I get to the place, I will definitely come to visit him."

Lin Yuzhen bothered Qingxu Zhenren for several days and wanted to fight Chen Daozi, but he lost so badly in the fight against Qingkui, he was really embarrassed, and he didn't have the face to stay here at the moment to continue to mix his face, got up and hugged his fist, then pulled out a spear from the side and left the bamboo forest.

It's getting dark, and there are still people waiting at the bottom of the mountain, so you can't spend the night here.

After chatting a little bit, Xu Buling also got up to say goodbye to Qingxu Zhenren and took the nightingale down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, the nightingale was still a little disappointed, and walked in front of Xu Buling and whispered:

"The Wudang Sect written in the book is a fairy-like character, and when he crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, he wished the old sword saint to still play with mud. Why does a real person look so ordinary, almost the same as Lao Xiao. ”

Xu Buling was still thinking about Fang Cai's conversation, and chuckled when he heard this:

"There is no vanity under the fame, people must look ordinary if they don't do it, and if I don't do it, I just look like a scholar. Moreover, I am neither a master nor an apprentice nor a relative, and I am indebted to others, and it is troublesome to owe others or be owed by others, so naturally I will not say much, and I will be content when I can see each other. ”

"Oh......"

Nightingale nodded thoughtfully and thought for a while: "Sister Zhong Jiu can find here, it's really a bit of a way to think about it, not a charlatan." ”

"Yes, my demeanor is also good, if I can invite back to the palace as a guest, I will definitely not lose, but it is a little too abrupt for me to learn art directly......"

"Sister Zhong Jiu doesn't look very old, and her martial arts are definitely not as high as Gongzi, if Gongzi doesn't want to worship her as a teacher, you can let her worship you as a teacher, aren't they all the same......"

“……”

Xu Buling's footsteps paused: "This idea is not bad, I will naturally teach her martial arts, but it feels a little strange...... If you don't talk to Yuhe, let her be Yuhe's apprentice, so that she and I are brothers and sisters, and we can be regarded as the same ......."

"It's all the same anyway, it depends on what Sister Zhong Jiu means."

While talking, the two went down the hill and came to the road where the horses were parked, the three horses were still in place, but Zhong Jiu was nowhere to be seen.

Xu Buling listened attentively, there was a slight sound from the waterhole on the side of the road, so he walked to the side of the road to check, and when he looked up, he saw an almost dreamlike scene - next to the waterhole between the mountains and autumn, a soft woman in a water-blue dress sat sideways on a stone by the water, holding a bamboo branch in her hand, and gently swaying aimlessly above the waterhole.

In the not-so-deep pool, countless unknown fish swam around in the pool with the bamboo branches as if they had been spiritually connected; Above, hundreds of birds spread their wings, hovering and chirping in the air, just like onlookers; On the stones and trees next to them, there are squirrels, rabbits and other small beasts, obediently squatting on the stones and raising their forelimbs to watch, looking extremely cute.

And Zhong Jiu, who sits sideways between the birds and beasts, is like a fairy or elf between the mountains and forests, slightly sleepy and lazy playing in a waterhole, not like people in the world.

"Wow......"

The nightingale's eyes widened, for example, when she saw the old fairy, she was a hundred times surprised, and she only felt that the woman in front of her who was out of the world was the real master of the world.

Xu Buling was also stunned, tilted his head slightly, and didn't understand what kind of immortal art this was......
