After the battle in the countryside and the countryside, Xiao Ruoshui was deeply shocked by the dust and the fox demon later, and then followed the dust back to the imperial city to be healthy.

After three days of cultivation, because one wanted to accept apprentices and the other wanted to apprentice, Xiao Ruoshui naturally became an apprentice of Weichenzi.

And the teacher has been missing since then, even if Xiao Ruoshui later became the eldest princess of Daliang and used the huge manpower and material resources of the Southern Dynasty, he did not find the slightest news about the teacher.

When she went to ask herself about the cheap master, Weichenzi, pretended to be crazy and stupid and didn't tell her. Later, he bluntly told her not to inquire, and she would naturally meet when the opportunity came, so she was blocked.

After Xiao Ruoshui recuperated for a month, he bid farewell to Xiao Yan, who was the assassin of Yongzhou, and followed Weichenzi to Zhongnan Mountain.

Wei Chenzi took her to the mountain gate of the Zhongnan Sword Sect and left, leaving only a handwritten letter for her to hand over to Wei Mustard, the current head of the Zhongnan Sword Sect.

After reading the handwritten book, Wei Mustard took special care of Xiao Ruoshui, opened the door of convenience, and presented the cheats of the Zhongnan Sword Sect in front of Xiao Ruoshui without reservation.

Xiao Ruoshui has excellent talents, and within a year, he has exhausted the essence of the Zhongnan Sword Sect, and then went to the Zhongnan Secret Realm to find an opportunity.

After Xiao Ruoshui entered the secret realm of Zhongnan, he met the Qingyang Daoren, the previous head of the Zhongnan Sword Sect, and at the same time, there was also the master of the Ink Zhai who was discussing with the Qingyang Daoist and Jiang Liu'er, who was seeking Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain.

At that time, Xiao Ruoshui was very curious about Jiang Liu'er, although Zhongnan Mountain has a lot of Taoism, but after all, it is the ancestral court of the major inheritances of Middle Earth.

And the master of the ink shop is even more admired by Xiao Ruoshui, although the ancient Yin lineage has been passed down in the world, but few people in the ancient Yin have seen it.

At that time, after Xiao Ruoshui reported to his home, the Qingyang Daoist introduced Xiao Ruoshui to the master of Ink Zhai and Jiang Liu'er, and made her qualified to participate in their conversation.

It was during that conversation that Xiao Ruoshui realized that Gu Yin Yimai and Jiang Liu'er were all people who pursued the Immortal Dao.

Only then did she know that outside the world, there were still such things that the imperial power could not touch, and she knew that the ethereal immortal path really existed.

It was also during that conversation that she vaguely knew the duty of Gu Yin's lineage in the world, that is, to take care of the demon clan in the world that appeared in the human world, to mediate the balance between the human race and the demon clan in the spirit world, to kill the powerful and ferocious, and to protect the kind and weak.

As for where the spirit world is, thirteen years have passed, and Xiao Ruoshui still doesn't know anything.

It was only later that Xiao Ruoshui returned to Daliang to learn that the day after Xiao Ruoshui met the Lord of Ink Zhai and Jiang Liu'er, the tens of thousands of demon clans that appeared in the Southern Dynasty for more than a year disappeared overnight, and they never appeared again in twelve years.

After Xiao Ruoshui got along with the Lord of Ink Zhai, Qingyang Daoren and Jiang Liu'er for more than a month, he went deep into the depths of the secret realm to break through the life and death barrier.

Two years later, she successfully broke through the barrier of life and death, and her realm cultivation reached the realm of the world, standing among the people at the top.

When he returned to the exit of the secret realm, he was surprised to find that Jiang Liu'er was still in the Zhongnan Secret Realm, and the master of the Ink Zhai had long since disappeared.

What surprised Xiao Ruoshui even more was that even though she had reached the transformation realm, she still couldn't see through Jiang Liu'er.

In the next two months, Xiao Ruoshui and Jiang Liu'er had dozens of battles, each with a victory or defeat, but Xiao Ruoshui still couldn't see through the hippie smiling monk.

It wasn't until today that she saw Jiang Liu'er's strength clearly, which was not something she could speculate.

Thinking about the days in the Zhongnan Secret Realm, Jiang Liu'er didn't use all his strength, and he didn't even use the strength of the third layer.

However, even so, Xiao Ruoshui did not collapse because of this, and after adjustment, his fighting spirit became even higher.

Previously, she did not disclose her relationship with the Lord of Ink and Wash and Jiang Liu'er in the Purple Gold Water Pavilion, because Xiao Ruoshui didn't want others to misunderstand, thinking that she and the Lord of Ink and Wash and Jiang Liu'er might secretly form an alliance and bring trouble to the Lord of Ink and Wash Zhai.

After all, she is just an outsider to Jiang Liu'er and them.

At this time, there are only Xiao Ruoshui, the master of the ink painting and Xia Xiaohu, Xia Xiaohu gives her the feeling of being so wonderful, as if she has not seen a friend for a long time, which makes her sometimes sentimental, sometimes worried, and very relaxed, so she boldly asked the master of the ink and wash studio for advice: "Master of the ink and wash shop, what is the matter with the companion reader and the general historian, and why is it related to Xia Gongzi again?"

The master of the ink shop is also a person with a clear heart, seeing that Xiao Ruoshui can think about her, it is only at this time that she shows a familiar relationship, although she doesn't care, but her opinion of Xiao Ruoshui in her heart has improved a little, so she said gently: "I can't imagine that the little girl twelve years ago has now become a heroine among the women in the rivers and lakes, it is really unpredictable." Let's go, let's talk as we go, maybe the people downstream are still waiting for Xia Gongzi. ”

After finishing speaking, the master of the ink shop raised his feet and walked downstream, Xiao Ruoshui and Xia Xiaohu followed closely behind.

I only heard the master of the ink shop say with some emotion: "Ruoshui, you look at our so-called ancient forces, as if they are watching myths and stories. When we look at those ancient legends, why is it not like that? Although our nine major forces have been inherited for thousands of years, in fact, there is a blank for what happened 3,000 years ago, because there is a historical fault there. ”

The Lord of Ink Zhai said this, glanced at Xia Xiaohu casually, and continued: "So for so many years, in addition to maintaining the smooth progress of the giant ship of the land of Middle-earth, the nine ancient forces also have to repair the historical void of the ancients.

In the course of many years of exploration, our nine major forces were surprised to find that from 3,000 years ago to the present, there is a person who has always existed, and after repeated scrutiny and verification, we call him the general historian.

Later, by chance, we found out that that person seemed to have been someone's little scholar all along, so he had another name, Companion Reader!"

Xiao Ruoshui listened and thought while walking, and when the master of the Ink Shop finished speaking, Xiao Ruoshui immediately said: "Isn't there anyone who has ever seen that companion?"

Hearing this, the master of the Ink Shop sighed and said, "Have you seen it? Don't say you've seen it, you haven't even heard of it." The companion is like a blank space, appearing at various stages of the long river of time, without leaving even the slightest trace, but that gap is only complete if he fills it. ”

Xiao Ruoshui continued to ask: "Ruoshui studied the inheritance of Mr. Guigu's lineage in his early years, and only then did he know the existence of the boatman from the clues, thinking that he was mysterious enough, and he couldn't think of a companion?

The Master of Ink Zhai replied lightly: "Boat supporter, although our nine major forces have been inherited for a long time, there are not many who clearly know the origin of my Guyin lineage, and the origins of the Human Desire Dao, the Ying Clan, and the Guigu Lineage are all vague and not real.

The boatman has been in the Guigu for a long time, but he has not appeared in the real sense of the word. Note that I'm talking about the real thing, which means that the boatman has left a lot of traces on Middle-earth Kyushu, but no one has ever found him.

I thought that I might meet the legendary boatman this time, but looking at the current situation, the chances are slim. ”

After Xiao Ruoshui listened, he was silent for a moment, and glanced at Xia Xiaohu, who had been quietly accompanying him on the side, with a complicated look.

What is the secret of that shy and delicate little scholar, which can affect her long-lost emotional fluctuations.

Why did that harmless little scholar get the favor of the leaders of the nine ancient forces, and look at him differently, could he really have something to do with the companion of the nine ancient forces who couldn't figure it out?

Xiao Ruoshui thought of this, so he said to the master of the ink shop: "What is the relationship between Xia Gongzi and the companion?"

The master of the ink shop smiled slightly, looked at Xia Xiaohu, who was still as calm as water, and said, "Then ask Xia Gongzi if he is willing to say it." ”

Xia Xiaohu smiled faintly and responded to the Lord of Ink Zhai: "Xiaohu has no secrets to speak of. The world is chaotic, Xiaohu and the elders and companions of the clan were lost in the war, and seven years ago in the north of the Huai River luckily met the previous generation of Mr., in order to enter the Guigu lineage, and Mr. company. ”

After listening to Xia Xiaohu's answer, a knowing smile appeared on his face, and then he stopped dwelling on it too much, and said to Xia Xiaohu after a moment of silence: "Young Master Xia, do you say that the bridge was arranged by the boat supporter, or does it already exist?"

Xia Xiaohu replied: "This little tiger doesn't dare to make assertions. However, there is one thing that Xiaohu is very curious about, that big fish with red scales and blue eyes, isn't there a record of Gu Yin's lineage?"

The Master of Ink Zhai replied lightly, "Yes." ”

Xia Xiaohu looked at the ancient well and waveless face of the master of the ink shop, and her salty and nonchalant answer, and at this time, he actually felt a little powerless.

Since there is a record of the ancient and hidden lineage, I think you should know, since you know, why didn't you say it when I talked so much just now, and since you didn't talk about it just now, now I ask you again, why are you still so salty and indifferent, and don't want to say more?

Xia Xiaohu looked at the master of the ink shop helplessly, and said, "Then why didn't you say it just now? ”

Listening to Xia Xiaohu's words with some complaints, the master of the Ink Shop said as a matter of course: "You didn't ask just now, what am I going to say?"

yes, you didn't ask, why should I say it, it's a matter of course.

Xia Xiaohu stumbled forward, touched the back of his head with his hand, and embarrassedly uttered a syllable: "Uh..."

On the other side, listening to the chat between the old and the young, I felt very warm in my heart inexplicably, and a warm air flow echoed in my chest, as if such a scene had happened many years ago, so a sweet smile appeared on my face.
