Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 115 The Pavilion Slave and the Whetstone

The morning light lifted the light veil of the night, spread down through the clouds, and the hazy Yunzhou City also ushered in its new day under the newborn sunshine.

Mu Qiuhuang was already dressed neatly under Xia He's service at this time, although Mu Qiuhuang was completely sleepless last night, but the strange thing is that he didn't feel sleepy this morning, but was full of energy.

After breakfast, Mu Qiuhuang went to his study. Although he has not come back for more than a year, the study has been cleaned and clean as new, Mu Qiuhuang took out the unknown box after a while of tinkering on the bookshelf, and after a while of tinkering, he opened the box and took out the scimitar he used to wear with him from inside.

Since Mu Qiuhuang's qi sea was abolished and he was told that he couldn't practice martial arts, Mu Qiuhuang sealed this scimitar, and when he went to Wudang Mountain, he didn't carry this scimitar because he wasn't sure if he could really recover as before...... Now that the sea of qi has been restored to its original state, it is natural that the scimitar should no longer be covered with dust.

Mu Qiuhuang picked up the scimitar called "Fengyue" again, and his eyes scanned the knife with extremely gentle eyes, as if he was looking at an old lover...... In the end, Mu Qiuhuang muttered in a low voice: "Old friend, long time no see." ”

When Mu Qiuhuang came out of the study again, he was already wearing a scimitar on his waist.

Chun Tao, who had been waiting outside the study for a long time, saw the state and hurriedly said hello.

After Mu Qiuhuang took a few oil paper packets and a pot of wine that Chun Tao had prepared in advance, he staggered out of Wutong Garden and went straight to the library pavilion.

Since he was planning to visit the Shouge slave, he naturally had to prepare some gifts and leave empty-handed, which was not Mu Qiuhuang's style.

Being able to settle in the Library Pavilion and become a cabinet slave naturally means that there is no shortage of gold, silver, jade, pink beauties, and other things, so Mu Qiuhuang just brought them some ordinary food.

However, although the food is ordinary, there is a lot of thought in it, if it weren't for Mu Qiuhuang who has been messing around in the library for a long time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch the tricky taste buds of these old men. For example, Old Man Zhao loves Huadiao drunken chickens; Old man Wei likes brine the most, duck paws, duck tongue, duck neck ......; Old man Han has a good bite of pig's head meat, but it must be the kind that has to be oily; Old man Qi is keen on Lanling wine; Old man Qin only eats fresh raw beef, and it has to be bloody; Old man Yan likes to chew on some fried crunchy yellow croaker; The last old man Chu has no sense of wine and meat, and likes to eat some sweet and greasy puff pastry.

……

There are three floors in the library pavilion, and the whole building is in the shape of a "hui".

Mu Qiuhuang stood straight in the center of the word "Hui" on the first floor, opened his voice and shouted: "Old men, get up and eat." ”

A voice shouted, and the doors around him also opened, and then six old men were seen sticking their heads out of the corridor on the second floor.

"Boy, you're back?" Chu Xiuyang said with a smile.

"I just came back yesterday." Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly.

Han Shiyi then asked, "Boy, how is your Qi Sea recovering now?" ”

"Do you need to ask? That loud voice just now is going to race the......"

Yan Wuhui answered, and everyone who provoked him also laughed.

"Boy, I can smell blood, and if you don't throw the beef to me, it won't be fresh after a while." Qin Wuyang opened his mouth and said.

"Old man Qin, take it." Mu Qiuhuang took out the oiled paper bag wrapped in raw beef and threw it on.

After Qin Wuyang took a big bite, he said: "The kid has a heart, the beef is still warm, it must have been slaughtered just this morning, right?" ”

"That's natural, when I just slaughtered the cattle, I was splashed with blood!" Mu Qiuhuang invited merit.

"You kid, in my opinion, even if you don't recover from the sea of qi...... This mouth alone is enough to stand out from the crowd? Zao Wou-Ki laughed.

Mu Qiuhuang grinned, didn't answer, took an oiled paper bag and threw it straight up, and only when the oiled paper bag was about to fall from the third floor did he speak: "Whose drunken chicken is this?" I fell to the ground, I'm not responsible! ”

Hearing this, Zao Wou-Ki jumped up, took the falling oil paper bag into his hand, and said with a wry smile: "You kid...... I really like to hold grudges. ”

Mu Qiuhuang laughed and said, "The kid holds a grudge, didn't you know about it on the first day?" ”

"Boy, what about us?" The rest of the people gossiped.

"It's all connected,......" Mu Qiuhuang had just finished speaking, and saw the remaining oil paper bags fly up at the same time.

And the circle of old men on the second floor also jumped up like koi fish grabbing food, and each grabbed an oiled paper bag.

"Boy, if you still want to test our skills...... It's too tender, isn't it? Wei Biao said with a smile.

"Really?" Mu Qiuhuang laughed.

In the next moment, I saw a mess on it.

"Here, Old Wei, your brine is this." Han Shiyi threw the oil paper bag to Wei Biao and asked, "Who is my pig's head meat?" ”

"Lao Chu, this is your puff pastry."

"Where's my little yellow croaker?"

"Pig's head meat for you."

……

"You kid, it's obvious that Lao Zhao offended you alone, why do you want to harm our food?" After Chu Xiuyang swallowed a piece of snack, he spoke.

Mu Qiuhuang smiled and replied: "Old man Chu, this is your mistake, what about the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond? Old man Zhao made fun of me, how can you say the past if you don't follow the punishment together? ”

"Lao Zhao, don't say anything about offending this kid in the future......" Han Shiyi said.

The others nodded approvingly.

Seeing that the few of them were eating sweetly, Mu Qiuhuang also opened the wine jug, poured all the wine on the ground, and said in his mouth: "Old man Qi, get up and drink, this is the Lanling wine you are most passionate about." ”

"Boy, don't be too sentimental, you must know that we hunted 'immortals' last time? Old Man Qi can have such a record in his life, even if he goes to the underworld, it is worth it. Chu Xiuyang said comfortingly.

Wei Wei continued: "Yes, boy! Sentimental what? If I hadn't been preempted by Old Man Qi last time, how could I have missed such a grand event? Speaking of which, I'm quite envious of Old Man Qi! ”

"Lao Wei is right." Han Shiyi agreed: "Being able to slaughter the Sword Immortal, although he is still honorable in death. ”

The rest of the people chimed in......

"Thank you." Mu Qiuhuang bowed deeply.

……

After Qin Wuyang finished eating the raw beef, he suddenly asked, "Boy, what are you going to do here today?"

Mu Qiuhuang opened his mouth when he heard this: "First, the kid hasn't seen you for a long time, and he misses you very much, so I came to see you today." ”

Qin Wuyang sighed when he heard this: "We are not girls, what is so good-looking?" Just say "two", right? ”

Mu Qiuhuang grinned and said: "Second, the kid is going to go out to explore the rivers and lakes in a while, so I came to the seniors to confirm the kid's cultivation......"

"Yes, I knew that your kid was 'weasel giving New Year's greetings to chickens~ not having a good heart'...... This is to use us as a whetstone again, right? Zao Wou-Ki muttered, reaching out and pulling out half of the chicken bone from his mouth.

"Old man Zhao, what did you say? You say I'm a weasel? So where is the 'chicken'? Mu Qiuhuang deliberately changed the tone of the word "chicken", and he laughed with great joy.

The rest of the old men looked at each other, Chu Xiuyang sighed, and said leisurely: "Old Zhao, arguing with this kid will anger you sooner or later." ”

"Yes! It's still always burdening us to lie down with the thunder. Han Shiyi added.

"That's it, that's it, since I caused everyone to be scolded, then let me teach this kid a lesson first, so that he can understand what it means to respect the old and love the young." As soon as Zao Wou-Ki's words fell, his figure jumped down from the second floor, and he stomped down towards Mu Qiuhuang's door.

In the face of this top-down kick, Mu Qiuhuang was not in a hurry, his body naturally leaned back, his feet dragged his body forward and smoothed out, after dodging Zao Wouji's kick, the posture just now was a backflip, his hands on the ground, and his feet kicked towards Zao Wouji's head.

When Zao Wou-Ki was still in mid-air, he predicted Mu Qiuhuang's backstroke, so after his feet landed, he also did a backflip without stopping, also supporting the ground with both hands and kicking his feet backwards.

"Bang! Bang! Bang...... "The two of them were facing each other, and they attacked each other more than 20 feet in an instant...... After a burst of punches and kicks, the two also took their own steps back, ending the fist and kick competition.

"Good boy, quick response, sharp fists and feet, Lao Zhao is not as good as you when you are so old." Zao Wou-Ki praised.

Mu Qiuhuang arched his hand and said, "Old man Zhao praised it falsely, if you just kicked the head and kicked the real yuan, I am afraid that the kid's head has been stomped by you now." ”

"Boy, take me in the palm and let me see how far your cultivation has recovered now?" Chu Xiuyang's palms slapped down on Mu Qiuhuang from top to bottom.

Mu Qiuhuang didn't dodge this time, but directly collided with Chu Xiuyang's palms with his palms towards the sky.

With a "bang", the two of them were separated with one touch. The green bricks under Mu Qiuhuang's feet were torn apart, and Chu Xiuyang returned to the second floor with the force of the anti-earthquake.

"Boy, how can you be a Taoist?" Chu Xiuyang was surprised.

"Old man Chu, how is Immortal Zhang's 'Chaos Wuji Gong'?" Mu Qiuhuang asked.

"I see." Chu Xiuyang stroked his beard and said, "It's a good one to use your strength to fight, and the 'Chaos Wuji Gong' is really mysterious." It's just that your true yuan is still too little, if the two of us are in the same realm, the old way is not as good as you. ”

Mu Qiuhuang smiled with satisfaction and said, "As long as the exercises are good, I will rest assured, even if I am full of battles, it will only be a year since I re-cultivated the True Yuan, and I am already very satisfied to be able to recover to this realm."

"Boy, I see you have a knife, let's compare the blades?" Qin Wuyang said with a smile.

"That's what the kid means."

Mu Qiuhuang jumped up on one foot, and the scimitar "cang" in mid-air, as if out of the sheath, and the knife light flashed like a crescent moon......

"Old man Qin, I lost." Mu Qiuhuang is also simple.

Qin Wuyang smiled and returned the scimitar locked by the mandarin duck parting hook to Mu Qiuhuang.

"Old man Qin, when you just locked my scimitar with a hook in both hands, what should I do if I make a sword in one hand stab back?" Mu Qiuhuang asked.

"Impossible, if you lose with two swords, it will be you who lose, and if you lose with two swords, it will be you." Qin Wuyang smiled and said, "Unless you can use different swordsmanship and sword techniques with both hands at the same time, then you can break my mandarin duck parting hook." ”

Mu Qiuhuang didn't say anything more when he heard this, but the corners of his lips couldn't help but fill with a hint of smile.

"Boy, it's my turn." Han Shiyi yelled and jumped down.

……

……

After taking turns competing with this group of pavilion guards, Mu Qiuhuang also left the library with satisfaction.

In addition to relying on real talent and learning, the more important thing is that they frequently use their dark and dangerous tricks against the enemy. Mu Qiuhuang relied on the fact that they would not play a dead hand against him, so he naturally used chess as a whetstone.

The best elite soldiers are all killed on the battlefield, so the real master naturally has to be tempered from the actual battle, even if he is trained well, if he can't play against the enemy, it's in vain, isn't it?
