Junshan Island occupies a large area, according to legend, Emperor Shun's two concubines Empress E and Nuying are buried here, and there are large pieces of Hunan concubine bamboo, which is also the source of Xiao Xianger's name. It's just that it's raining heavily, and Xiao Xiang'er doesn't really want to show up in front of outsiders, so she has no intention of coming to visit.

Xu Buling and Ning Yu worshiped on Junshan Island to look for it, and unconsciously walked to the Xiangfei Mausoleum, the legend is too long, and what they saw was only a small dirt mountain, whether it was buried here is unknown.

Under the rain, men and women hold two oil-paper umbrellas, quietly walk through the road between the bamboo forests, one after the other, occasionally talk a few words, and then look left and right, just like the son and wife who came out to play.

And in the depths of the bamboo forest, Ning Qingye, who was hidden among the bamboo leaves in a cloak, watched two familiar figures walk into the distance, his hands involuntarily tightened a little, and there was obviously some longing in his cold eyes, and he opened his mouth to call out, but he couldn't help it when he thought about it.

Ning Qingye grew up with Ning Yuhe since childhood, the two of them lived in the Evergreen Temple for ten years, from reading and reading to teaching martial arts, they got along day and night and depended on each other, and when they were young, they stayed in the mountains and were afraid, and the master held her to sleep, and she had deep feelings for the master.

After losing his father and mother, Ning Qingye regarded his master as the only relative in the world, and he also thought about living a peaceful life with his master in a small Taoist temple with beautiful mountains and rivers.

It's just that both she and Master know that this is impossible, and the peaceful days will be broken one day.

The mother died at the hands of the wolf guard, this revenge must be avenged, and Li Hansheng is the culprit of all this, and he must also die. Ning Qingye has not forgotten the despair on the night of her mother's death, and someone must pay the price for her mother's suffering.

And although the master became a Taoist priest and stayed away from the red dust and rivers and lakes, she knew that the master had never let go of the grudges of the Tang family, and never thought of hiding in the Taoist temple and secretly living for the rest of his life.

Since the day they went to Changqing Mountain, the master and apprentice have been practicing day and night, and they have tried all their best to become stronger, and they have not said the purpose of practicing martial arts to each other, but they both know it.

Slowly she grew up, and a year ago, she learned that her mother's sword appeared in Chang'an City, so she went to Chang'an without the permission of the master, which may be the longest time she was separated from the master.

Ning Qingye misses it very much, but sooner or later there will be a time when she will be separated, and now she has gradually adapted to it, and her feelings for the master have not diminished in the slightest, but she has to go by herself next.

Just like Ning Yuhe wanted to learn after seeing Zhu Manzhi's killer move, Ning Qingye heard the news that he could become stronger, so he would naturally try his best to fight for it.

However, I came to Junshan Island, not only to find the rumored "Tongtian Treasure Book", but more importantly, to return the favor. When she was a child, she was pulled by the Cao family, and now that the Cao family is in trouble, she naturally has no hesitation, even if the Cao family refuses, she will still guard here.

These grievances are her private affairs and have nothing to do with Master, so she has not shown up, and she doesn't want Master to get involved, as for the white-clothed boy next to Master......

Among the dense bamboo leaves, Ning Qingye looked at the handsome handsome young man in the distance, and inadvertently remembered the strong kiss in the alley. Until now, she hasn't figured out why she didn't poke a hole in this color embryo's body at that time, and actually stood stupidly and let him gnaw on it......

But after all, the matter is over, Ning Qingye has already let go, Xu Buling has saved her life, and now she is her junior brother, so naturally she will not go to Xu Buling's troubles again.

Xu Buling is the prince of the vassal king, Ning Qingye is now doing the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't want to pull Xu Buling in. Although she knew that with Xu Buling's status and status, it was possible to settle the troubles of the Cao family, but the affairs of the Jianghu people should be solved by the methods of the Jianghu people, and if the imperial court was pulled in, it would all be sour......

Ning Qingye thought seriously for a long time, until the two figures disappeared at the end of the field of vision, then blinked, fell to the ground, and disappeared into the bamboo forest alone......

-------

The ancestral house of the Cao family, with the sudden visit of King Su's son, the atmosphere changed a little.

The people in the rivers and lakes are all human spirits, and if they quit the rivers and lakes, it is impossible for them to really become a farmer, and their ability to judge the situation has not diminished in the slightest.

After Cao Quyi said goodbye to Xu Buling, he came to the ancestral hall behind the Cao family alone.

The Cao family has been inherited for hundreds of years, the ancestral spirit seat enshrined in the ancestral hall is difficult to count at a glance, on the high platform in front of the spiritual seat, there are more than ten famous swords, all of which are the swords of the heads of the Cao family in the past dynasties, one of them is the famous sword Zhan Lu recorded in the history book with heavy pen and ink, a string of sword spikes is hung on the hilt, the jade buckle is green and transparent, and a faint light is reflected under the candle flame.

There was a futon on the ground in front of the sword, and the old man of the age of the sixtieth birthday was sitting cross-legged on it, dressed in an ordinary black cloth robe, and the corners of his sharp eyes could still vaguely see the demeanor of the rivers and lakes in the past.

Cao Quyi closed the door of the ancestral hall, came to the eldest brother's side, and said softly:

"The prince of King Su has already left, inquired about Ning Qingye's whereabouts, and told me twice to beware of the Eagle Tower. Judging from the words, he may know who is coming, and he thinks that my Cao family has no chance of winning. ”

Sitting on the futon is Cao Qujian, the current head of the Cao family. Ten years ago, when the heroes were like clouds, Cao Qujian's martial arts were not as good as those of Zhu Silk Mountain and Situ Yueyan, and they were a little weak, so his reputation has not been very good, and he rarely mentions it in the mouth of the storyteller.

However, Cao Qu Jian's martial arts are weak, and he is a little unworthy compared to his identity as the head of the Cao family, and he is not as good as the heroes of the ancestors. In terms of martial arts, being able to take charge of the Cao family in Junshan is at least at the same level as Zhu Choushan and others, the top group of people in the rivers and lakes.

Cao Qujian's eyes kept staring at the string of sword spikes, and when she heard her brother's voice, her slightly old face became a little more gloomy:

"The father's revenge is revenge on the son, the father's debts are repaid by the son, the grievances and grievances are endless, and there is never a saying that the two are clear. This catastrophe will come sooner or later, since the Eagle Tower dares to come, it must be a lion fighting a rabbit, and there is a certainty that I will eat my Cao family. ”

The second master, Cao Quyi, stood behind him and looked at the string of sword spikes:

"If someone comes to the door, if you really look for the government, the government can't control it, and you can't stand and let people kill...... This string of sword spikes, or give it to the Eagle Tower, or save them from asking for it. ”

Cao Qujian let out a long sigh: "Fighting Eagle Tower is not just for Jian Sui, I haven't done it for so long, I am waiting." The grievances I owed back then were not enough to pay back with my head. ”

"Put down your body and give Eagle Tower a face, you can't give anything you want?"

"The generations and rules of the rivers and lakes are all based on the sword in the hand. There is no sword in his hand, and his face is worth a few dollars, and he doesn't take my Cao family in his eyes at all. ”

"After all, we are from the rivers and lakes, since we can't retreat, we really can't re-enter the rivers and lakes, Chu Di is still what my Cao family said......

The big boss Cao Qujian shook his head: "Since Cao Ying voted for the imperial court, my Cao family is not from the rivers and lakes. How many people have been killed by the Investigation Division, the hatred has to be counted as part of my Cao family...... It is my iniquity, and no one is to blame. ”

Cao Quyi frowned, and thought for a long time: "Or just vote for the imperial court, the Cao family is still there, no matter how high the status is Tang Jiao......"

"Don't talk about it again."

“……”

The second master, Cao Quyi, hesitated, but he could only sigh lightly, turned around and walked out of the Cao family ancestral hall......
