Walking at the end of the line is Ma Lilian, the daughter of Ma Chucheng, the general of Guide, who has practiced martial arts since she was a child and does not like female popularity. General Guide did not care but was proud, and often told everyone that Ma had no children in his life, but it was enough to have a woman. It's a seven-foot man, and he can't compare to my baby.

Ma Lilian learned martial arts at the age of seven, could dance a lance at the age of nine, rode and archery at the age of eleven, and could almost play with two weapons at the age of fifteen. The key is that in this year's martial arts exam, she got an excellent one. It is no wonder that General Guide boasted of pride, and it was natural to congratulate him on having a woman. The sons of other families can't be admitted to the Acting Martial Arts Academy, but the daughter of the vest is a well-known student of the Acting Martial Arts Academy.

Ma Lilian is petite, but her temper is straightforward and even a little hot. Although she didn't like Fang Jie's face that no one wanted to deal with, she didn't like the virtue of Yuan Chengshi and Liu Shuang. The reason why following this team is a last resort, who called Mr. Mo Wanwu only needs Fang Xie and Zhang Qiang?

And what she was even more unhappy about was the woman who stuck to Yuan Chengshi's side.

That woman's name was Niu Miao, and she was the youngest daughter of Niu Huilun, a scholar at Wenyuan Pavilion University. It stands to reason that this girl should be very virtuous and virtuous in the Niu family, but her reputation in Chang'an City is even louder than some Qinglou women. It's not that she has a lot of people, but this woman is also a little heroic, and the people who come and go on weekdays are not who are young ladies or daughters, they are all sons of families.

The people of Chang'an City have become accustomed to the scene of shoulder-to-shoulder, and secretly call her Niu Huahua.

This woman has been inseparable from him since she entered the Yanwu Academy and met Yuan Chengshi. The two of them also smell the same, and Niu Huahua already seems to be the daughter-in-law of Yuan Chongwu, the governor of Hebei Province. Speaking of which, the two families are a good match, one of the fathers is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, although he has no real power, but his status is extremely high. One is a dignified second-class feudal official, who holds the power of life and death of millions of Li people in his hands.

Ma Lilian doesn't want to see Niu Huahua, and Niu Huahua doesn't want to see her.

It is said that there is rarely pure friendship between women, let alone friendship between these two people, if it is not for the fear of being laughed at, maybe one day they can scuffle and tear together. Although Ma Lilian is the daughter of the martial arts family and also likes martial arts, she is conservative and most dislikes women's dissoluteness. Niu Huahua is a child of a literati family, but she never seems to take gender seriously.

These two women are wonderful people.

There are only two female students in Class B, and they are naturally the sweethearts in the eyes of all men. There are many people who have nothing to do, and of course, Fang Xie is not among them.

Niu Huahua was also very pleasing to the eye when he looked at Fang Jie, at least in terms of skin, he was much more beautiful than Yuan Chengshi. It's a pity that that guy doesn't look at her like a gourd all day long, how can she be angry? A woman who is used to being coaxed and pampered by men often hates for no reason when she meets a man who is not interested in her.

"Yuan Gongzi, don't fight too hard, no matter what Fang Xie says, the celebrity in front of His Majesty, if he beats badly, he will run to His Majesty to complain, it will be worth the loss."

Niu Huahua pursed her lips and said with a smile.

Liu Shuang replied: "What? Our Miss Niu is also a little interesting to that little white face? ”

"You-meant!"

Niu Huahua immediately scolded, but did not show Liu Shuang any mercy. Her father was a scholar, and although he had no real power to see His Majesty from time to time. Liu Shuang's father is the county guard of Chuzhou, and the officials who have a lot of power but are not as good as the officials of Beijing University. In particular, Niu Huilun can kill Liu Shuang's father. But Liu Shuang's father had no way to deal with Scholar Niu.

Coupled with the relationship between Niu Huahua and Yuan Chengshi, Liu Shuang is even more difficult to say. Yuan Chongwu is the governor of Hebei Province, next to the northwest, and in the future, the imperial court will move troops to the northwest, and Yuan Chongwu's Hebei Province is a strategic place. At that time, the real power in his hands was obviously even more jealous, and Liu Shuang, who was bent on shutting down the Yuan family, would never dare to offend.

Niu Huahua finished scolding Liu Shuang, looked at Yuan Chengshi with silky eyes and said, "I'm thinking about Yuan Gongzi." ”

Yuan Chengshi nodded and said, "I'm from my province, but don't worry too much." His Majesty won't care about the competition between the martial arts academy, and the person who loses in the competition is injured, which is even more commonplace. If Your Majesty asks because of this, it will seem unfair. ”

"I'm just worried about you."

Niu Huahua said sweetly.

Yuan Chengshi waved his hand and said, "Let's go, although we have a map in our hands, we are not familiar with the path and terrain, and we can't send scouts to investigate, so we can't delay any longer." ”

Liu Shuang snorted and rushed out of the city gate first. Thirty students wearing the uniforms of the Academy of Martial Arts rushed out of the city, but they attracted the attention of many pedestrians. The soldiers guarding the gate looked at the students with some envy in their eyes. Anyone who can enter the martial arts academy, which one does not have a bright future?

Soon after leaving the city, he entered the mountain road, and Yuan Chengshi looked back from time to time to tell a few words, as if he was the leader of this team, and he was the highest among all the students, so the others had no objections. Ma Lilian is the daughter of General Guide, who is a military rank from the fourth rank, which is far worse than the governor of the second grade.

She is not the kind of person who likes Zhang Luoshi, so she simply follows behind without saying a word.

"Sir once said that assassination and ambush are also the duty of scouts. Our team is more compact, after all, Fang Xie and Zhang Qiang are both from the border army scouts, if anyone is sneak attacked, don't say that I didn't warn in front, in order to win in the end, I will never let people go to the rescue. ”

Yuan Chengshi shouted a few words loudly, looked at the majestic mountain in front of him and said to himself, "What's wrong with Jiumen Excellence? It's just a waste that can't be cultivated! ”

……

……

When Yuan Chengshi's team entered the mountain, Fang Xie and the three of them were already catching fish. The speed of the three of them was far faster than that of the large group, especially since Mo Wanwu was familiar with the road, so he didn't have to stop to look at the map.

Crescent Moon Lake is deep in the mountains, a flat place halfway up the mountain. Generally, there are pools in the mountains at the top of the mountain or at the bottom of the mountain, but this crescent pool is a little strange halfway up the mountain. And Fang Xie looked at it for a long time and didn't find out what river this waterhole was related to, it turned out to be a backwater pool.

As Mo Wanwu said, the water in this crescent moon pool is cold and biting. You don't need to touch it with your hands, and when you stand by the waterhole, you will have a cold breath on your face. Fang Xie tried to put his hand in a little, and then couldn't help but shudder. The water is unbearably cold, and it stands to reason that the temperature of the water should have froze a long time ago, but I don't know why it didn't, and it doesn't seem to be reasonable.

Horizontal as a mirror, without a trace of ripples.

Since it's stagnant water, it should be dirty. After all, I don't know how many years this waterhole has existed, and things like fallen leaves and weeds can't be swept away by the wind. As for the stagnant water, Fang Jie's understanding is that it is green, dirty, sticky and turbid, and even if it was a living water river in the previous life, it was almost like this. But this crescent moon pool is clear and bright, there is no debris at all, and you can even see black-backed fish swimming in the water, not afraid of people at all.

The six-cheeked fish in this water don't know how long it hasn't been a long time, Mo Wanwu just made a fishing rod, hung an earthworm on the iron hook and threw it into the pool, and soon a foot-long fish came to bite. Fang Xie remembered that Mo Wanwu had said that the fish in this cold pool was only a foot long for a hundred years, that is, the fish he saw was already a hundred-year-old birthday star.

"Sir, why is this waterhole so clear if there is no waterway to connect it?"

Fang Xie couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I don't know."

Mo Wanwu picked up the one-foot-long six-cheek fish and threw it into the prepared fish basket. The big fish's body writhed so hard that it knocked the fish basket over. Zhang Madness went over to catch it, and the fish in his arms could still struggle out. It can be seen that the century-old Taoism is not useless.

Professor Yau speculated that there might be a large hole under the water that connected to other waterways. So she risked her risk to go into the water, but she only dived a few feet deep and couldn't survive. Only someone of her temperament would have the guts, anyway, I wouldn't dare. ”

Mo Wanwu skillfully hung up the bait again, and threw out the simple and even rough fishing rod again: "But since this water is so clear, it can't really be connected to other places, if there is a great cultivator who is really idle and bored, he can't find the truth." ”

"Is there such a boring great cultivator in this world?"

Insolence managed to subdue the fish, and then did something stupid. He subconsciously tied the fish with a rope, thinking that this way the fish would not jump around. Looking at his hurried appearance, Fang Xie couldn't help laughing: "You just tied out the bow, can you still tie the fish?" ”

Zhang Mad blushed, casually threw the fish into the fish basket again, and then clamped the fish basket with a big stone: "For a while, I just listened to Mr. Talk, and I was stupid." ”

He walked over and squatted beside Mo Wanwu to watch him fish, waiting for Mo Wanwu's answer.

"What is the identity of the great cultivators of time? How did you come here to do such a boring thing? ”

Mo Wanwu pursed his lips and said, "The great cultivator I am talking about is not a master of the seventh or eighth grade. Those who can be called great cultivators must at least have nine grades of cultivation. Fang Jie, I know you've seen a few great cultivators like this, but you must not think that there are so many nine grades...... Because this is Chang'an, the strongest people of Jiupin are naturally easier to see than other places. Before I entered the Academy of Martial Arts to study, I traveled half of the Jiangnan River, and I didn't meet one. ”

Fang Xie snorted, thought for a while and asked, "The person who cultivates the Nine Grades in the world is the strongest?" ”

"Who dares to say!"

Mo Wanwu said: "There is no end to the text, and there is no end to the martial arts." You see that this mountain is already very high, and there are even higher mountains in the world. And in places that you may not be able to reach in this life, there may be peaks that go straight to the clouds. The so-called nine-rank supreme strength is because people don't know how to define the strong above the nine-rank level, but ...... It doesn't mean there isn't. ”

"Sir, have seen it?"

"If there really is such a person in the world...... The dean must be counted as one. ”

Mo Wanwu replied.

"That old man doesn't ......"

Fang Xie swallowed back the last word and changed his words: "That old and unserious ......"

"I don't think I heard that."

Mo Wanwu smiled: "But what I said is extremely correct. ”

At this moment, Fang Xie and the others suddenly heard a clattering chewing sound behind them. The three of them hurriedly looked back, but saw that Fang Jie's red horse actually put his mouth into the fish basket and took out the six-cheeked fish, which was extremely sweet and delicious. Not only was the red horse not afraid of being pierced by the fish's bones, but his eyes lit up and he seemed to be extremely excited. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a horse eating fish.

"This ...... Perverted, right? ”

Fang Xie asked in surprise.

"That's your horse!"

Mo Wanwu and Zhang Qiang shouted in unison.

Fang Xie looked at the red horse, and always felt that this guy looked a little strange when he ate six-cheek fish. It's as if it's eaten before, and it's a little unusual to look at the excitement.

"Damn, I still have to use bait for fishing, you broken horse will pick up cheap!"

Mo Wanwu said slightly angrily, but when he said bait, he didn't know why he subconsciously glanced at Fang Jie, and the trace of guilt in his eyes flashed again.

"Fang Jie, are you sure you rode a horse?"

Zhang asked in surprise.

Fang Xie thought for a while before replying seriously: "Actually, it's a pig......"

Just when the three of them were chatting, about fifteen miles away from Fang Jie, the students led by Yuan Chengshi walked into the dense forest, he unfolded the map and looked at it, pointed in one direction and said, "It's over there, and it won't take half an hour to get there." ”

On a large protruding stone at the top of the mountain peak above their heads, Miao Seng Chenya pointed down and asked Fang Hatshui: "Do you see it?" There are a lot of Sui people below, you can call for help. ”

"I ...... Can't. ”

"Then you volunteer to be bait and trick a few to come over, so that you don't have to cut your flesh again."

Chenya asked with a smile, "Isn't it?" ”
