Chapter Eighty-Four: Snow Falls Visits the Sword House
……
Since talking to Su Xiao in the early morning of that day, and writing a letter to Situ Luqi under Su Xiaoxiao's persuasion, Mu Qiuhuang's guilt in his heart has also decreased a little.
In the letter, Mu Qiuhuang explained to Situ Luqi that he was now married to Ji Ruoxue and had taken Su Xiaoxiao into the room, and he did not deliberately hide his thoughts about Situ Luqi, but also explained clearly the concerns and reasons why he had not replied to the letter in the past...... In fact, Mu Qiuhuang didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to do this? But in the words of a phrase he himself had seen in ancient books, it was: "How can it be as good as it should be?" But please be worthy of your heart. ”
One morning, after staying in the land of Qinlu for some time, when Mu Qiuhuang got up, he found that there were snowflakes outside, and a layer of snow white had accumulated on the ground. In this regard, Mu Qiuhuang was full of joy, and hurriedly ran to wake up Su Xiaoxiao, Qingya Daoren, and Wuxin respectively.
The reason why Mu Qiuhuang has been staying here is that he wants to wait until it snows, and then take Su Xiaoxiao to see the two snow scenes of "treading the snow to find plums" and "snow fairyland" that he once said.
Just as Mu Qiuhuang and his party had breakfast and were about to go to the Xilie Marquis Mansion to pick up the Sword Casting Mansion where Ji Ruoxue was going, they saw that Ji Ruoxue came to the inn by coincidence...... In this way, the group also left Lucheng in a mighty way and set off towards the Sword Casting Mansion.
After the group came to the foot of the Casting Sword Lu Mountain in a carriage, in order to show their respect for the Casting Sword Mansion, everyone chose to get off the car and walk up the mountain.
Although the mountain road is rugged, but fortunately, the group is cultivated, so along the way, while talking and laughing, while enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, it is also happy, and it is not long before they climb to the top of the mountain.
After climbing to the top of the mountain, I saw that the wind and snow suddenly became bigger, and the snow chips that were still dotted turned into goose feather snow after a while, and the biting cold wind also blew everyone's clothes with a rattle...... Looking at this goose-feather-like snow, the happiest person was Ji Ruoxue, only to see that she had opened her hands and ran in the snow to her heart's content, and the fiery red Dayu looked particularly eye-catching in the white world.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue with a smile, her eyes full of pampering.
"The trail full of red plums is 'treading the snow to find plums', and when you pass through that trail, you will be casting the sword." After Ji Ruoxue had a good time, she pointed to the path ahead and explained to everyone.
"Yikes! I suddenly forgot something very important! Mu Qiuhuang suddenly exclaimed.
Seeing this, everyone's eyes fell on Mu Qiuhuang's body.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue and explained: "I suddenly remembered, when my father-in-law came to the Sword Casting Mansion in the past, he had to send a worship sticker in advance, and then bathe and change clothes to visit after obtaining permission, will it be a little abrupt for us to come here without announcement?" ”
Qingya Dao people and Wuxin Wenyan also looked at each other, and they also suddenly thought of this most basic etiquette issue.
"Don't worry!" Ji Ruoxue said nonchalantly: "Today we are going to come to forge the sword house, the Dao Sword Immortal already knows, and I also mentioned you to him in advance." ”
"Huh?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but look confused.
Ji Ruoxue glanced at him and explained with a smile: "Do you remember that the Dao Sword Immortal promised to forge a sword for me?" Before, the senior brother in the Sword Forge House once went to my house to spread the news that 'when the first snow falls, it is the day when the sword is baked.' In other words, today is the time when the sword is made. ”
"I see! Then I'm relieved. Mu Qiuhuang said with a smile.
"Or what do you think?" Ji Ruoxue laughed and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the Dao Sword Immortal knew that we would be here today and lifted the ban in advance?" We wouldn't have made it so easy to get to the top of the mountain. ”
As soon as Ji Ruoxue's words fell, she saw a figure jumping in the distance, and she teleported in front of everyone.
"Big brother." Ji Ruoxue called out with a happy face.
"Little ......" Shi Crack forcibly swallowed the word "junior sister" into his mouth, smiled apologetically at Ji Ruoxue, and explained: "Master has a life, you are no longer a disciple of the Sword Casting House. ”
"I ......" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but feel a little lost, although she knew that all this was for her good, but after all, she still had an inseparable affection for this sword-forging house.
Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly stepped forward and gently held Ji Ruoxue's palm as a sign of comfort.
Shi Crack also comforted Ji Ruoxue: "You don't have to be too sad, although we don't have the status of senior brother and sister, but the affection still exists, not to mention, the master has also explained that whenever you want to go back and forth to forge the sword, you can do the same as before, no need to report." ”
"Hmm." Ji Ruoxue nodded.
"By the way, haven't congratulated you yet? Being able to worship Qinglian Sword Immortal as a teacher is also a blessing for you, junior sister. Shi Crack smiled.
"Thank you, brother." Ji Ruoxue thanked Shi Crack.
Shi Crack's gaze moved away from Ji Ruoxue's body, and began to look at Mu Qiuhuang and the others, his gaze was no longer as gentle as when he looked at Ji Ruoxue, but a little more scrutiny, especially when his eyes fell on the body of Qingya Daoren and Wuxin, there was a trace of fiery battle intent in the inspection, and it seemed that he had the urge to draw his sword and fight at any time.
Ji Ruoxue knew the temper of her former senior brother, and when she saw his gaze at this time, she hurriedly explained: "They are all my friends, and I told my master before to bring them along. ”
"Oh." Shi Crack nodded, looked at them and said, "My surname is Shi Ming, and I haven't consulted your name?" ”
Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly when he heard this, he had heard a little about the past deeds and personality traits of this Shi Crack, so he took a step forward and said with a smile: "It turns out that Your Excellency is the Stone Crack Brother who has been praised by the Qinglian Sword Immortal Chrysostom, it is really better to see than to hear, and the younger brother has also admired Brother Shi Crack for a long time. ”
"You can talk, but you haven't asked for advice yet?" Since Shi Crack was defeated by Qinglian Sword Immortal with one move, his personality has also been a little restrained, and hearing Mu Qiuhuang's praise like this at this time has also increased his sense of goodwill.
"My surname is Mu, and my name is Qiuhuang." Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly.
"Oh! It turns out that you are the prince of Beiyu, the closed disciple of the new Sword Immortal, and the husband of Xue'er? looks like a talent, but I don't know how it is in cultivation? Can you match Cher? Stone Crack said.
Mu Qiuhuang listened to the series of names in his mouth, and he couldn't help but be a little dazed, but he understood the latter sentence, the other party doubted his cultivation and wanted to test him for Xue'er? However, Mu Qiuhuang didn't have the interest to accept his test, so he pretended not to understand the meaning of his words, and said with a slight smile: "Well, it's me, and I will ask Brother Shi Crack to take care of me in the future." ”
Seeing that he didn't dare to fight, Shi Crack also lost interest in him, and turned his gaze to the few people behind him.
Qingya Daoist took a step forward and arched his hand: "Wudang, Qingya." ”
Wuxin also took a step forward and said: "Futu Temple, Wuxin." ”
"Oh? It turns out that the two of you are the legendary 'Daozi' and 'Buddha'. Shi Crack smiled contemptuously at the two of them, and said leisurely: "I heard that some time ago, the two of you defeated the second ranked sword of the top ten masters in the world, and the sword was traceless; A defeated the third-ranked jade-faced scholar, Xiao Yulang? ”
As soon as Shi Crack's words came out, Mu Qiuhuang and Qingya Daoren all looked at Wuxin in unison, wanting to determine the truth of this matter? They all knew about the Qingya Dao people defeating Jian Wuxi, but they didn't even mention it in front of them because they didn't want to defeat Xiao Yulang.
Wuxin looked at their inquiring eyes, nodded intently, and explained in a low voice: "The little monk happened to meet him kidnapping the woman that day, so he ......"
After getting the confirmation, Mu Qiuhuang grinned at Wuxin and said, "Little monk, this is a glorious thing!" Why haven't I heard you say, 'Heroes save beauty', oh no, it should be 'Buddha saves beauty'......"
Listening to Mu Qiuhuang's somewhat complaining tone, he couldn't help but explain: "It's not that the little monk wants to deliberately hide it from the donor, it's really because he was obsessed at the time, so the little monk opened the killing ring again......"
"Oh, so that's what happened?" Hearing Wuxin say that he had opened the killing ring again, Mu Qiuhuang also understood why he was reluctant to take the initiative to mention it to his group. It's just that Mu Qiuhuang has increased his interest in Shi Crack at this time, and he can't understand why Shi Crack knows everything about this matter.
Shi Crack looked at the two of them with an indifferent look on their faces, and said to himself: "Also, the ranking of the top ten masters in the world is mostly those who sell their fame and reputation, and there are few real talents and real learning, and it is indeed not worth mentioning to be able to beat them......
After saying this, Shi Crack looked at Su Xiaoxiao beside Mu Qiuhuang and asked, "What about you?" What is your name? ”
Su Xiaoxiao heard him ask himself, and out of respect, he also took a step forward, and said softly: "The little girl is just a maid next to the son, how dare you remember your name." ”
Su Xiaoxiao just stood behind Mu Qiuhuang and a few people, and she hadn't seen her face clearly when Shi Crack had just arrived, but at this time, Su Xiaoxiao stood in front, and her handsome face was also perfectly displayed in front of Shi Crack. Shi Crack has lived in Jianlu for a long time, and he has seen such a beautiful woman there? Although Ji Ruoxue's appearance is not weaker than Su Xiaoxiao, Shi Crack has always treated her as a little junior sister and has never thought of anything else.
Although his gaze is the normal performance of most men when they see stunning beauties, it fell in Mu Qiuhuang's eyes, but it made Mu Qiuhuang a little dissatisfied, and his good impression of Shi Crack also dropped a few notches in an instant.
"You're born beautiful." Shi Crack couldn't help but praise.
Mu Qiuhuang heard this, and the unhappiness in his heart was even more superimposed, took a step forward, took Su's little hand, and smiled at Shi Crack: "Thank you Brother Shi for your praise, I thanked Brother Shi for my insider." ”
"Insider?" Shi Crack muttered.
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart, and looked at Mu Qiuhuang shyly.
Ji Ruoxue understood Mu Qiuhuang's temper, and knew that Shi Crack's words just now had made him unhappy, so she hurriedly said to Shi Crack: "I don't know when the master will open the house?" ”
When Shi Crack heard this, he didn't care about thinking about it anymore, and smiled at Ji Ruoxue and said, "It's almost the same when you pass." ”
Ji Ruoxue continued. "Senior Brother Lao will lead the way."
Shi Crack glanced at Mu Qiuhuang and his party again, turned around and began to lead the way: "Come with me." ”
Ji Ruoxue gently squeezed Mu Qiuhuang's hand and explained in a low voice: "Senior brother's temper is like this, there is nothing else to think about......"
Mu Qiuhuang smiled at her and responded in a low voice: "Don't worry! I know what you're thinking. ”
