In the courtyard of Yongfengcang, more than thirty splashes squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, silent, Zhu Manzhi's big eyes were full of excitement, his face was buried in Xu Buling's chest, and his words were incoherent.

Xu Buling must have missed the pistachio branches, holding his round face in both hands, and was about to take a few bites, but he saw the master, who had always been gentle as water, picking up the small wooden stick on the ground and walking behind him with murderous energy.

Xu Buling thought there was trouble, so he glanced back, but saw Zhong Jiu who came with him staring at a pair of fox eyes, his hands curled up on his chest, his face full of fear, and he was looking at him pitifully.

I'll go......

Xu Buling's heart was anxious, and he hurriedly let go of Xiao Manzhi, ran over and grabbed the stick that the master was about to beat, and said urgently:

"Master, what are you doing?"

After Zhu Manzhi found out about this situation, he hurriedly ...... ran into the house, picked up a small bowl of melon seeds, and sat on the bench under the eaves with intent.

Ning Yuhe obviously moved the real fire, and looked at the apprentice who was blocking in front of him: "Ling'er, you get out of the way!" ”

Zhong Jiu didn't hide or dodge, but just stood in place with guilt in his eyes, and his eyes were red:

"Xu Gongzi, let her fight, I was bad before, let her vent ......"

"You-"

Ning Yuhe was originally as warm as water, but at this time, he was full of anger, and the stick was grabbed by Xu Buling, so he raised his finger and dressed as poor Zhong Jiu:

"Ye Jiu Niang! Do you still have the face to pretend to be aggrieved? ……”

Xu Buling hadn't heard the mixed call of Ye Jiuniang, and he still stopped the angry master at the moment, and his face was pleasant:

"Don't get excited, I've heard everything about you back then, it's all a small misunderstanding......"

"A little misunderstanding?"

Ning Yuhe saw that Xu Buling was actually protecting the other party, just like the little daughter-in-law caught the rape and found that her husband was talking to the fox spirit, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at Xu Buling and asked:

"Ling'er, why are you with her? She is very good at demagoguery, and none of her ten sentences is true, she is a scum......"

Zhong Jiu didn't fight back when he was scolded like this, but just sobbed twice: "Xu Gongzi, let her scold, I'm fine......"

"You—"

Ning Yuhe saw that the other party was still pretending to be pitiful, and he didn't care about his ladylike bearing, so he immediately rushed over to make a move.

Xu Buling had a good impression of Zhong Jiu, and he came with him, so he definitely couldn't let the master beat others, so he hugged the master's small waist and pulled it back hard. Seeing that the two women were crying, they didn't dare to say anything serious, so they could only persuade each other with good words:

"Master, you calm down, there are a lot of people here, let's find a secluded place to sit down and talk slowly."

Ning Yuhe didn't know how much he had been wronged in the past, and he couldn't care about being held in his arms by his apprentice, he just stared at Zhong Jiu:

"You me out, let me see you again, I'll discount your legs ......"

Zhong Jiu was cowardly and timid, and said softly: "Yuhe, I was young and ignorant......

"You deserve to call me by my name, too?"

……

Noisy, chattering.

Xu Buling only felt that his head was big, and hurriedly waved his hand to let Man Zhi'er stop watching the show, and lead the way to find a secluded place to play a round.

Zhu Manzhi ran over at this time, helped appease Ning Yuhe, and went out of Yongfeng Cang together, found a stone pavilion along the Danjiang River, and sat down to talk well.

In the small stone pavilion, Zhong Jiu and Ning Yuhe sat at the two ends, and Xu Buling stood in the middle, in case the angry master beat Miss Zhong to death.

Zhu Manzhi was full of embarrassment, sitting on Ning Yu's side, and persuaded him with kind words:

"Sister Daning, you dissipate your anger, that girl doesn't look like a person full of evil......"

After the initial excitement, Ning Yuhe's mood stabilized a little at this time, looked at the 'ignorant and ignorant' apprentice, and said seriously:

"Ling'er, you must not be deceived by her, just drive her away now, you can't believe a word of what she said."

Zhong Jiu sighed with a little shame on his face, and stood up:

"That's it, since Miss Ning can't see me like this, I'd better go......"

Xu Buling was caught in the middle, naturally he still wanted to resolve the estrangement, raised his hand to let Zhong Jiu sit down, and looked at Ning Yuhe:

"Master, what misunderstanding did you have? Miss Zhong is indeed not like a person with a bad heart, even if she behaved inappropriately when she was young, she now understands the truth and feels guilty......"

"She feels guilty?"

Ning Yuhe saw that Xu Buling was confused and obsessed by beauty, and said coldly: "Don't look at her appearance, her heart is black, and her stomach is ...... bad."

Zhong Jiu hooked the hair on the side of his ears, a little innocent: "It's all in the past, Yuhe, you dissipate your anger." ”

Ning Yuhe was too lazy to take care of Zhong Jiu, held Xu Buling's hand, and said earnestly:

"Ling'er, do you know what she did back then?"

Xu Buling shook his head: "What's the matter?" ”

Ning Yuhe pondered for a while, and then began to talk about Zhong Jiu's evil deeds back then:

"Back then, Xu Danqing painted beauties all over the world, and he was very famous, and many women came to ask for paintings. Xu Danqing is a literati, and he doesn't look at all the faces when he paints beauties, but he can only paint if he has both talent and appearance. But among them, there is a woman with the mixed name 'Ye Jiu Niang', who has no self-knowledge, chasing and intercepting everywhere, forcing Xu Danqing to paint her, and she can't paint a random painting, and she has to paint her after she is not allowed to paint others, and her evaluation must be higher than everyone else......"

Zhong Jiu's face turned red, but he didn't deny it: "It's not that I went to find Xu Danqing, it was Xu Danqing who met me, I was young at the time, and I made a small request, but I can discuss, he just stopped painting, and then I got angry......"

Ning Yuhe snorted coldly: "Xu Danqing met you? You are a wild girl who grew up in a ravine in the mountains of Nanyue, how did you meet Xu Danqing in Dayue's Guozi Prison? Do you dare to say that you didn't meet Xu Danqing on purpose? ”

Zhong Jiu sighed: "Walking the rivers and lakes is running around, I am in awe of the Central Plains, go to Guozijian to see what's wrong......"

Xu Buling blinked, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Even if you really go to find Xu Danqing, it's not a problem, and there are still many girls looking for Xu Danqing......"

Ning Yuhe frowned slightly: "It's okay to go and find it, or to mention that ridiculous and rude request, Xu Danqing felt that she was too utilitarian and didn't want to paint, so she got angry, chased Xu Danqing all over the world, said that if soft words didn't work, they would come hard, poison Xu Danqing, and if they didn't agree, they wouldn't give the antidote, you said this is what people do?" ”

"Uh......"

Xu Buling blinked, in fact, he was not easy to evaluate, because Xiang'er also snatched Miss Xiao's Bakui with some threats and intimidation.

Zhong Jiu sighed quietly: "I said that I was young and ignorant at that time, and the literati were all arrogant, so I also scared and scared Xu Danqing, who knew that he was so cowardly." If he doesn't want to paint, he should rather die than give in, and I won't really poison him......"

"Phew—"

Ning Yuhe looked coldly: "Are you embarrassed to say?" It's all poisoned, can he do it if he doesn't agree? You used dirty means to force Xu Danqing to agree to paint for you, and you still blame people for not believing their words? ”

Zhong Jiu was also a little aggrieved: "When I saw him agree, I cured the poison, and then he swore that he would paint it for me and buy him a pot of wine according to the rules." I believed him at the time, and I went all the way to Chang'an to buy him a pot of wine, and then he ran to draw you and seal the pen directly, this should be his, right? ”

Xu Buling combed it and turned his head: "If this is the case, you can't blame Xu Danqing for not believing in his words." ”

"I don't blame him." Zhong Jiu had a little guilt on his face: "I was young and ignorant at the time, and I really didn't think about it. ”

Xu Buling nodded: "Master, knowing your mistakes can improve the great ......."

"Will she be wrong?"

Ning Yuhe's face was cold, and she continued: "She is just a shrew, even if Xu Danqing is forced to deceive her, she should go to Xu Danqing for trouble, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Xu Buling sat in front of Ning Yuhe and said softly: "It must have nothing to do with Master, and she doesn't blame you......"

Ning Yuhe was angry and annoyed: "Do you believe her nonsense?" At that time, Xu Danqing finished painting me, and he closed the pen. She couldn't find anyone Xu Danqing, so she came to me for trouble, saying that I had robbed her of Bakui's position. I was originally a young lady in the Tang family, and she didn't dare to come over, but then she had an accident and fell to Changqingguan, so she came over......"

Zhong Jiu pursed his lips: "I...... I'm just talking to you about ......"

"You call that a heart-to-heart talk?"

Ning Yu didn't fight in one place, holding Xu Buling's hand, his eyes were full of annoyance:

"At that time, I and Qingye were dependent on each other, after she found Changqingguan, she came to the door and asked me why I robbed her Bakui, I explained to her, she still didn't listen, I had to tell the rivers and lakes, what to say, 'I'm a monk anyway, it's not as good as her, let her take the position of the first person in the world', it's good that I didn't beat her......"

Xu Buling frowned and looked at Zhong Jiu.

Zhong Jiu's eyes were ashamed: "This is true, I was only sixteen or seventeen at the time, and there is indeed something wrong with my words......"

"You're not just saying the right thing!" Ning Yuhe was like a wronged daughter-in-law who complained to her husband, gritted her teeth and said: "At that time, I didn't have the heart to deal with her, she began to mess around, sleeping during the day and knocking on the door at night, not letting me rest with Qingye, I went to beat her and she ran away, and when I came back, she came out again, Qingye was only eight years old at the time, and she couldn't eat angrily...... That's it, after a month of getting used to it, she began to change her tricks, attracting a bunch of snakes, insects, rats and ants, surrounding the outside of the Taoist temple, so scared that I didn't even dare to sleep at night, and poisoned the pool......"

Zhong Jiu hurriedly raised his hand: "Don't spray blood, it's not poisoned, it's itchy powder, who let you take a wild bath ......"

"Phew—you still have the face to explain?"

Ning Yuhe's eyes were full of annoyance: "At that time, I couldn't eat or sleep well, I stayed up for a while, and I didn't want to trouble Wudang's seniors at first, but she was endlessly harassed, and I had no choice but to let Wudang's seniors help, at first it was Qingxu Zhenren who came over and reasoned with her to persuade her not to be obsessed, but she didn't know what to do, saying that she didn't kill people and set fires, Changqingshan was not Wudang Xiu, she lived in Changqingshan to raise insects and birds, what happened to Wudang, and almost killed a handful of young Qingxu Zhenren, and then Chen Daozi came over, Expelled her from the Central Plains ......"

"Uh......"

Xu Buling's eyes were full of astonishment, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and looked at Zhong Jiu, a little unsure of what to say. Such a fairy girl was too ...... when she was young It's too skinny......

Zhong Jiu waited for Ning Yuhe to finish speaking, and then sighed quietly: "I knew that it was wrong to fight for the name at that time, but now that I want to open it, I have already put down my false name......"

Ning Yuhe didn't believe it at all: "Since you put it down, what are you going to do when you go back to the Central Plains?" Why are you approaching Ling'er? ”

Zhong Jiu hooked the hair beside his ears: "I originally walked the rivers and lakes, it is normal to run back and forth from south to north, and I also happened to meet Xu Gongzi, I know some medical skills, so I want to pass on the mantle......"

Ning Yuhe frowned slightly, and after a little pondering, he understood:

"Heh—you had a good idea to fight, you couldn't grab Bakui, and now you're running over to grab the apprentice......"

Zhong Jiu's face was serious, and he sat up a little straighter: "Ning Yuhe, when I met Xu Gongzi, I didn't know that you were his master, I don't believe you ask Xu Gongzi, why did I come to rob your apprentice?" It's not that I don't have an apprentice, I'm more powerful than your apprentice Ning Qingye, so why do I have to rob you around......"

“……”

Xu Buling blinked, as if he understood why Zhong Jiu suddenly appeared in front of him, and was in a hurry to accept him as an apprentice......

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Buling chuckled and said, "Miss Zhong is also from South Vietnam, can you know the new Bakui Zhong Chuchu?" ”

Ning Yuhe thought about it slightly, and then frowned slightly: "Her name is Zhongli Jiujiu." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Buling was a little inexplicable.

Zhongli Jiujiu was revealed to his identity, there was nothing unusual in his eyes, and he nodded slightly:

"Chu Chu was brought out by me, and she roamed the rivers and lakes alone two years ago, and Bakui's reputation was also taken by herself. I am dedicated to teaching my apprentices to save the dead and help the wounded, and I have long since eliminated the desire to compete with you. ”

Ning Yuhe always felt that something was wrong, but she naturally couldn't imagine that Zhongli Jiujiu even had to compare his apprentices, and if he couldn't compare, he would snatch love.

Seeing that Zhong Lijiujiu's conversation was very different from the past, and he didn't quarrel with her, Ning Yuhe was half-convinced, and snorted lightly:

"If only you figured it out...... But you already have an apprentice, why do you have to accept Ling'er as an apprentice? ”

Zhongli Jiujiu's expression was calm: "I have something that I can teach, so naturally I can accept apprentices to teach it, it is natural for you and me to look at the world and the wilderness, and you have to take care of this?" ”

“……”

Ning Yuhe frowned and looked at it for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xu Buling:

"Ling'er, are you really going to worship her as a teacher?"

Xu Buling chuckled: "There are some remnants of the Lock Dragon Gu, and it is difficult for the body to recover as before, Miss Zhong will be able to cultivate the method, and it can only be taught by worshipping the master, so ......"

Ning Yuhe frowned: "You listen to her nonsense, she is a Miaojiang poisonous girl, where did she come from......

Zhong Li Jiujiu saw that Ning Yuhe directly dismantled the stage, and immediately became anxious: "Ning Yuhe, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have a problem with a master master?" What's wrong with a bit of a teacher's rules? I'm also for the good of Xu Gongzi, how can I say that I'm going to hurt him? ”

Ning Yuhe snorted lightly: "The nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, you first help Ling'er to warm up her body, if it is true, then talk about the apprenticeship." ”

Zhongli Jiujiu stood up: "The law of the ancestors is immutable, it's a big deal if you don't save it, and it's not me who is in a hurry." With that, he was leaving.

Xu Buling was a little helpless, and was about to open his mouth to dissuade him, but Ning Yuhe grabbed Xu Buling:

"You let her go."

“……”

Zhongli Jiujiu's body was stunned, stopped, and turned around:

"That's it, I want to help Xu Gongzi, not you, if you complain, complain, I will stay away from you in the future."

Ning Yuhe didn't believe in Zhong Li Jiujiu's reform, but Xu Buling kept Zhong Li Jiujiu, and she couldn't forcibly expel her, so she could only keep it in mind and stop talking for the time being.

The scene finally stabilized, Xu Buling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Man Zhi'er, who had watched the play for a long time, and chuckled:

"It's all a trivial matter, there's no need to be so angry, let's go back and talk about it."

Zhongli Jiujiu saw that Ning Yuhe didn't bombard her and left, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, it was not a day's work to rob the apprentice, as long as this level passed, there was a chance. I was not in a hurry at the moment, and bowed to Xu Buling Yingying, and then turned around and walked out of the pavilion.

The four of them turned over and got on their horses, Ning Yuhe walked beside Xu Buling, didn't pay any attention to Zhongli Jiujiu, and asked:

"Ling'er, when did you come over, do you have any news of the night? I came back for months and didn't find anyone for the night. ”

Xu Buling shook his head: "I just arrived, and I haven't inquired yet." ”

Zhu Manzhi walked on the other side and answered: "Sister Daning said that Xiao Ning may be in Yueyang Cao's house, why don't we go over and have a look together?" Now I can still catch up with the crabs, and I guess it will be gone if it's too late......"

Xu Buling looked up: "It's too late, the boat stops at the foot of Wudang Mountain, first find an inn here to rest for one night, return to the ship tomorrow, and then go to Yueyang together." ”

Zhu Manzhi nodded, and asked curiously: "Childe came out this time to run the rivers and lakes?" ”

"No, go to Jiangnan to propose."

"Huh??"

I wish Manzhi's happy little face stiffened......
