In the Zhuquan Pavilion, Xu Mingyuan briefly told Zhou Binjie about the origin of the Cloud Machine Pavilion, as well as the legendary Cloud Machine Order that as long as you get it, you can become the master of the Cloud Machine Pavilion.

The legend about the Cloud Machine Order has been widely spread in the rivers and lakes, but there has been no trace of the Cloud Machine Pavilion for nearly twenty years, and it has gradually become dull.

But after all, it is a big force that once stirred up the rivers and lakes, and the name of Mr. Yunji wearing a yin and yang mask has magical power, so every time the news about the Yunji Order comes out, it can still cause the rivers and lakes to shake.

Zhou Binjie accepted the fan in his hand, and said with some emotion: "If the Yunji Pavilion is still there, then there will be a pavilion outside the temple, a mountain, a palace, a palace, and a city in this river and lake." ”

"The ten-year big competition of the four major sects is coming soon, and this time the news of the birth of the Cloud Machine Order comes out, and each faction will definitely make moves." The corners of Bai Molou's mouth turned up slightly, and he said sarcastically: "But the four major sects have been miserable enough in the past fifty years, calculate the time, the disciples of this generation of the four major sects should also enter the rivers and lakes to experience, I don't know what kind of strange people will be born." ”

Zhou Binjie looked at Bai Molou and asked with some curiosity: "The Four Great Sects are so powerful, can anyone still step on them?" ”

When Xu Mingyuan heard this, he also looked at Bai Molou, who was rarely sitting lazily, although Bai Molou did not practice martial arts, but he did know a lot about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Bai Molou accepted the jade fan, and said in a cold voice: "Fifty years ago, I met Li Taibai, who stepped on the sword and entered Chang'an, and the scenery of the rivers and lakes for ten years was completely occupied by a white dress, and the leaders of the disciples of each faction were a joke in front of him. ”

"Forty years ago, I encountered a ghost knife in the clouds, stood in the cloud city, cut off the arm of Wudang Zhenren with one sword, broke the Taihua sword mission sword with two knives, and the jade void Xuannu avoided the clouds, and the monks of the Erta Temple sat alone at the head of the city and chanted for half a year."

"Thirty years ago, I met a crane master Huang Run, who had been cultivating in the small Taoist temple for 30 years, was born, carrying a peachwood sword, as if the yellow dragon was born, carved a big turtle on the head of the two tower monks, stripped off the robe of Wudang Zhenren, and took the life sword of the Taihua sword envoy, and finally captured the generation of jade void Xuannu Deng Tingting to look back as a teacher, which can be said to make the four major sects lose face."

"Twenty years ago, the Cloud Machine Pavilion was born, and the leaders of the three major sects were wiped out overnight. A paper cloud machine messes the rivers and lakes, no one in the world knows you, and the name of Mr. Cloud Machine can be said to be unique for a while. ”

Ten years ago, Liu Shaoqun, a young man in black, carried a one-foot-wide, five-foot-long, and more than 100-pound ink-black slate out of Leizhou, Lingnan, and went all the way north, defeating dozens of famous rivers and lakes that have been famous for a long time. Later, he defeated the sword disciples of the four major sects on Wutai Mountain, and became famous, which can be regarded as stepping on the face of the four major sects to become famous. ”

"The ten-year period is approaching, and I don't know if there will be another fierce character this time, stepping on the four major schools to become famous."

"These characters are really violent!" Zhou Binjie sighed: "It turns out that these rivers and lakes are so interesting, I already knew that I also practiced martial arts, and the rivers and lakes are much more interesting than this academy to practice calligraphy and classes." ”

Xu Mingyuan shook his head with a smile and said: "After all, these fierce people in the rivers and lakes are a minority, and those who can step on the four major sects to become famous, there are only a few in the past fifty years, and most of the people in the rivers and lakes have to worry about three meals a day, and they have to find an inn to live in." The heroine was not born with white clothes, she still had to dress up when she went out, and she still had to carry rouge and gouache. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Mingyuan suddenly remembered the Tang Xue girl he met when he was in Jiangnan Province, but at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she was dressed in fluttering white clothes and held a delicate long sword, blocking the donkey cart of their master and apprentice on the official road to rob.

However, as soon as she tried to lift her chin to make a gesture of staring, the package behind her suddenly fell apart, and the rouge gouache and two dirty white dresses fell to the ground.

The master and apprentice, who originally thought that their eyes were bright, laughed so much that they couldn't straighten their waists. And the snow girl is also embarrassed, where is there still a little bit of heroine style.

However, the thickness of the snow girl's face still made Xu Mingyuan a little embarrassed, and for the reason of making her ugly, she followed their master and apprentice to eat and drink for a month, until they were separated from them when they left Jiangnan Province.

The cheerful personality of the snow girl is compatible with him, and when she is separated, she pats her small breasts that have just begun to develop and promises that when she becomes famous in the rivers and lakes, she will definitely pay him back ten times the money she has spent these days.

Since then, Xu Mingyuan has understood that the so-called heroine is actually quite difficult.

"Brother Yuan, you can't let me think about it more." Zhou Binjie complained.

"As long as you are lazy, you just start practicing in your mother's womb, and you will not be able to enter the third grade in this life." Bai Molou said coldly, showing no mercy.

"Bai Mo Lou, you ......"

Xu Mingyuan turned his head with a smile, ignoring the argument between the two, closing his eyes, enjoying this refreshing summer morning.

The three of them stayed in the pavilion until the bell rang at noon, Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou went to eat outside the academy, and Xu Mingyuan went to Tongyuan.

Xu Mingyuan burned a few good light dishes, ate them with Zeng Fuzi and Zeng Qingyi, then brushed the bowl, carried a pot of herbal tea to the plane tree and sat and chatted with Zeng Fuzi for a while.

Xu Mingyuan asked the master about the college examination, and the master also confirmed that the academy would hold the college examination at the end of this month, and since Xu Mingyuan had already entered the academy, he could naturally participate.

Today's Zeng Qingyi didn't have a temper with Xu Mingyuan, and I don't know if it was because of the snow lotus pearl yesterday. However, Xu Mingyuan also knew that this situation would not last long, just as Xu Mingyuan would not care too much when he sent it, for Zeng Qingyi, a snow lotus bead and the big conch back then were actually of similar significance.

This girl, who has never had to worry about her livelihood, has never cared about and is not very sensitive to silver, which Xu Mingyuan has always been very clear.

In the afternoon, there is only half an hour of teaching and lecturing, and the rest of the time is reading books on my own. Xu Mingyuan took a piece of paper and asked Bai Molou to write down the books he needed to read on the paper one by one, after all, he was going to take the test in a month, and he had no intention of falling off the list.

After school in the afternoon, Xu Mingyuan refused Zhou Binjie's invitation to go to the restaurant to drink, held some books borrowed from the academy library, took the carriage of Baimolou to the West City Gate, and went straight back to the Taoist temple.

Drinking is good, but if you drink too much, you don't want to read. Xu Mingyuan handed the wine gourd filled with rice wine from Wuwen Tongbao on the road to the master, although it was much worse than the wine a few days ago, but he drank it the same deliciously.

Don't pick wine, this is also one of the few commendable places in Qingxuan, otherwise when there is no money, Xu Mingyuan really has nowhere to find wine for him to drink.

Stir-fried two dishes casually, the master and apprentice moved the low table and small stool to the stone flat in front of the Taoist temple to eat, the sun has already set, the bright moon in the sky, and the cool breeze, but the food is delicious.

Xu Mingyuan told the master the news of the birth of the Yunji Order, Qingxuan was stunned, then shook his head with a smile and did not speak. Xu Mingyuan knew that Qing Xuan usually didn't tell him anything about the rivers and lakes, so he didn't ask too much.

Some of the things in the rivers and lakes that Bai Molou talked about today have already heard of him, but he didn't expect that in the past few decades, there have been so many fierce characters on the rivers and lakes.

In Bai Molou's mouth, Li Taibai, who stepped on the sword fifty years ago, should be the most prestigious in the rivers and lakes. A person who can suppress the entire rivers and lakes and have to bow his head, a person who can treat the world as nothing, and a person who can only make the most outstanding disciples of the four major sects back then a joke.

Xu Mingyuan learned his sword and asked the sky, but he hadn't really learned it yet, and it seemed that he should practice harder in the future.

As for what Yunji Order, what disciples of the Four Great Sects, these things are still a little far away for Xu Mingyuan now.

No matter what kind of powerful character the disciples of the four major sects will be, even the six monsters of southern Sichuan, who were not well-known that day, are not something he can deal with now.

Regardless of whether the rumors of Yunji Ling are true or not, they are not something he can touch, even if it really falls into his hands, with his strength, I am afraid he will not be able to protect it. Pifu is not guilty of his crimes, this truth Xu Mingyuan has always been clear.

The rivers and lakes are still far away, and we still need to work hard!

After dinner, I walked a few laps along the stone floor, and after reciting the book of etiquette that I read today, I went into the study to read.

……

In the following days, Xu Mingyuan went back and forth between the academy and the Taoist temple, reading books every day, practicing swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship also improved slightly. Xu Mingyuan had read most of the books before, and with a good memory, he had almost memorized them all after just re-reading them a few times.

On every day off at the academy, Xu Mingyuan would go to Dongcheng to help people write letters and read letters. With the experience last time, Xu Mingyuan didn't dare to bring Zeng Qingyi again, but he still remembered that he brought her a string of sugar gourds, which was regarded as returning the sugar gourd that ate her last time.

Guo Cailing's little girl is still cute, and she is even happier than last time when she saw that Zeng Qingyi didn't come. But maybe it was because her mother hit her last time, but this time she didn't mention marrying Xu Mingyuan again, but the distress and resentment in those bright big eyes made Xu Mingyuan feel as if he had done something bad.

After more than 20 days, Granny Li's son Zhang Quanshun was also escorted back home, although he broke his hand and leg, but he still survived.

The imperial court's pension for the disabled soldiers has always been not thin, and after Zhang Quanshun was rewarded, he was exempted from servitude, and he could receive more than 100 Wentongbao every month, which was enough for him to survive.

Granny Li also had a smile on her face again, and her body bones were even much tougher than before. Xu Mingyuan still remembered that once when he went to see her, Granny Li took his hand at the door, and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law has seen many things in her life and has come into contact with many people, I originally felt that I had lived for such a long life, and I could see your brother Shunzi marrying a wife and having children, and taking a look at his grandson, it was time to go down to find the old man." But now that you are like this, I have to live for two more years, otherwise this child will not survive. ”

But in the end, it still went around Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi, and it seems that Granny Li is really happy to see the two of them succeed.
