Winters in Shanghai in the Nanyang Basin are much colder, and the ditches along the way are already frozen.

Zhu Tong didn't add clothes when he went out this time, and the first feeling after getting off the car was cold.

The taxi drove away, and it was the darkest time before dawn, and the temperature was lowest.

Zhu Tong took a look at the sleeping village, Liujiaying; The lights in the town of Stone Buddha Temple dimmed in the distance.

The old liar said that he must rush to the Zhao River outside Liujiaying Village before dawn, and only at this moment, this place, can he find Mrs. Yu.

Zhao River, the taxi just crossed a bridge, Zhu Tong felt that the river was not very wide; He stepped on the winter wheat field, walked to the river with one foot deep and one foot shallow, indeed, the Zhao River is really a small river. Stealth is forbidden in the group; The river was already frozen, and the thick ice reflected the lights in the distance.

After Zhu Tong inspected the area within a radius of half a kilometer, he sat on the wheat field in disappointment, pulled out a bunch of wheat seedlings with his right hand, kneaded them and stuffed them into his mouth.

The Zhao River bends here, the bay is wider than the others, and the bank is a small forest, dark and dreary, and there is not even a ghost, where will there be any Jade Lady? The old liar won't take revenge on himself and expel him from the Zhumen, and trick himself into drinking the cool breeze by the river, right?

Perhaps, it was too cold today and Mrs. Jade didn't come out? That's the only way to comfort yourself.

Zhu Tong simply meditated and cultivated, concentrating and calming into the realm of Pengma to recuperate his body and mind.

The vast starry sky gradually embraced everything in Zhu Tong, everything in the body was light and weightless, and even the butterfly god was moved by such freedom, dancing with Zhu Tong's thoughts.

Being so close to the energy of nature and so harmonious with the butterfly god, for the first time in him, Zhu Tong experienced this strange feeling, and was fascinated for a while.

The Bamboo Taoist priest said that Zhu Tong should find an opportunity to retreat for a few days; But he never took it to heart; With the free time at this moment, I realized that meditating and cultivating in the city is not comparable to being in the wilderness. Before, Zhu Tong didn't have such an experience.

Where there are many people, the aura is weak. Uncle Zhu Huang also said this, the little liar meditated on the bank of the Zhao River to rest, and only then did he realize the true meaning of Uncle Shi's words.

People can calm down, but the heart is not really calm.

There were a few car horns in the distance, the silence was broken, and Zhu Tong could only admit that he was unlucky, who let himself do evil in his previous life and worship under this master?

However, if you think about it, it's not like a scam, the old liar also gave himself a jade pendant, saying that Mrs. Jade would help her when she saw the jade pendant.

Zhu Tong was thinking wildly, and a slight "click" sound sounded thirty meters away, which was the sound of the ice breaking.

On the ice of the Zhao River, three graceful figures appeared out of thin air; It can't be said that it is out of thin air, they are from ...... Drilled out of the river.

In the cold winter, three women came out of the frozen river, and they couldn't stand it when they thought about it; Layers of goosebumps immediately appeared on Zhu Tong's body.

"Who are you? Why are you here? ”

As soon as the little liar stood up, a woman appeared in front of him; light silk fitting, concave and convex figure, light gauze mask; He holds a piece of ice in his left hand and a jade knife in his right hand.

"Zhu Disciple Zhu Tong, ask to see Mrs. Yu." The little liar made a mobile message and opened his mouth to reveal his identity.

"You are the lone wolf with a thousand faces, who asked you to come to see Lady Jade?"

"Old liar."

"Who's the old liar?"

The other party didn't seem to know the celebrity in the rivers and lakes, and Zhu Tong only reported his name: "Zhu Lan." ”

"Hmph, it turns out that you are his apprentice, and it's not a good thing to think about, no wonder you're being chased and killed, look at the knife!"

Zhu Tong was trembling, looking at the knife, the cold air was sluggish, and the other party's jade knife was in front of him.

"Slow down, I'm really here to see Madame Jade." Zhu Tong didn't expect that the other party could say no more than three sentences, so he started to dodge.

By the Zhao River, the thin jade knife flashed cold light in the darkness, and each knife greeted Zhu Tong's eyes. The blade rose and fell, constantly emitting a trace of coldness: "This is the Ice Knife Method, as long as you can insist on ten moves under this girl's knife, I will take you to see Mrs. Yu." ”

The little liar dodged three tricks, and couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart, and turned out the golden needle with his fingertips and shouted: "The girl is so reckless, I can't help but offend Zhu Mou." ”

Compared with the way to get up, Zhu Tong is now as light as a butterfly. Dodging back and forth in the opponent's blade, every time the jade knife was the slightest distance from the tip of the nose, the female knife was so angry that she was short of breath, and the jade knife was wielded more and more rapidly.

However, the opponent's body skills are also good, although they are not as fast as the little liar, but the knife skills are powerful; Every time the knife is blocking, the golden needle of Zhu Tong. Besides, he didn't dare to be ruthless, and he still had two companions; He slid along the ice with a grin, and he also held a deadly jade knife in his hand.

One move after another, Zhu Tong had already received at least twenty moves, and the other party had no intention of stopping, but a wisp of cold air entered the body with the jade knife, gradually invading the bone marrow, and the body was also a little stiff.

The butterfly god is a guy who is afraid of the cold, and he is afraid of the cold caused by the ice knife method, and his wings are flapping more and more slowly.

It can't go on like this, Zhu Tong urgently needs warmth, remembering the phoenix mask on his chest, the gold needle in his right hand is illiterate, and the word "phoenix" is written in front of him.

The heart is not pure, the state of writing is not right, and the phoenix mask only emits a little warmth. Fortunately, the fluffy hemp skill he was carrying was pure, and he could withstand the bone-chilling cold for the time being.

"Is your kung fu good? How do you practice? The other party suddenly laughed and stopped, saying stop without the slightest warning: "If you don't fight, I can't beat you." ”

Zhu Tong ran Peng Ma Gong for three weeks to dispel the cold on his body: "The girl is merciful, I know." ”

There were a few rooster crows from Liujiaying, the dogs began to bark, the village flashed a bright light, and someone sounded, this is the reason why the other party stopped, right?

"I can still support ten moves."

"You are honest, not like a cunning man. I know you didn't use your real skills to let me do it. Senior Brother Zhu, my name is Shi Chen, wait a while, let's go change our clothes, don't peek. ”

The dawn receded, a round of morning sun jumped out of the horizon, and a faint morning mist drifted around the Zhao River.

Shi Chen and his two companions walked out of the woods by the river, their bodies were already dressed in simple and ordinary clothes, and their round faces were healthy and rosy; It looks like three peasant girls who get up in the morning and hang out. Only the wet green silk showed that they were still practicing some kind of strange kung fu in the frozen river just now.

"This is for you, keep it, don't destroy it."

Shi Chen handed a cold thing to Zhu Tong's hand, and the little liar held it up in front of him, but it was a statue of himself, which was also very vivid and expressive; However, it is a statue carved out of ice.

"You taught me how to save it?" Zhu Tong handed the ice sculpture back; Now they are walking on the field road, and they have bypassed Liujiaying and walked towards the Stone Buddha Temple.

"I'll only let you keep it for half an hour, and they all say that the lone wolf with a thousand faces is very witty, and he doesn't even have this ability; I carved it very carefully, there is only one rule, it can't leave your hand. If you can do it yourself, if it melts up there, I won't take you to see Madame Jade. ”

Shi Chen threw the ice sculpture over again, raised the jade knife and pointed at the tall statue at the entrance of the stone Buddha, and disappeared into her cuffs: "It's good to get there." ”

How can ice sculptures be kept in the palm of your hand? Zhu Tong knew that Shi Chen was joking, and she would definitely take herself to see Madame Yu; But being idle is also idle, for a while. It is forbidden to be invisible in the group and ask each other to help, so it is always harmless to make each other happy and enhance the friendship between the two parties during this journey.

The statue carved from the ice cube was lying in the palm of his left hand, and Zhu Tong pondered for a moment, contemplating the few words he had learned.

The spirit word, useless, the morning sun shines on the ice sculpture, the crystal water color is getting thicker, and it is slowly melting.

Gas! Zhu Tong twisted the golden needle in his right hand and drew the word "qi" on the ice sculpture.

The palm of his left hand was slightly numb, his breath surged, and the ice sculpture floated.

"Hey, hey." Zhu Tong chuckled a few times and tried his best to maintain this state.

"Sure enough." Shi Chen slowed down, the last time he checked a few times, the expression on his face was full of admiration.

"It's amazing, Sister Chen has met an opponent this time."

Shi Chen's two companions were also coaxed on the side, they were only fifteen or sixteen years old, two or three years younger than Shi Chen, the corners of their mouths were still black when they first came out of Zhao He, and they had become delicate and bright red after walking for a while.

When the Stone Buddha Temple arrived, there were already early risers on the street; Shi Chen snatched the ice sculpture and stuffed it into his pocket, took Zhu Tong around a few streets, and stopped in front of a small building.

This street is full of small buildings like this, with three floors, and there are more or less stones piled up in front of the door; It can be seen that they are all jade carving workshops. Zhu Tong followed Shi Chen and had already walked through three similar streets. The taxi driver said well, this is indeed a jade for every family, and every household plays with stones.

Walking into the small building, there is a storefront in front, there are some bracelets and other jade objects on the counter, and the corner of the wall is dedicated to the statue of Guan Gong, the god of wealth, which is no different from the general jade shop.

Shi Chen took Zhu Tong to the inner courtyard, ran up to the second floor and shouted, "Uncle, there is a guest, he is a pretty man." ”

Zhu Tong looked around, there was nothing special, and the few pieces of jade placed in the room couldn't see anything clever; The material doesn't look like a good jade.

"Look at the tea. Soak two cups of my cloudy mountain hairy peak, and send them quickly. ”

There was a tapping sound from upstairs, and down the stairs came an emaciated old man; Wearing a single coat, with two beards on his upper lip, his clear face is full of wind and frost, his eyes are bright, and he looks very energetic.

"Are you Zhu Tong?"

"Exactly."

"The old liar is your master?"

"Yes."

The old man asked a few words and sat down on the sofa beside Zhu Tong.

"What's the matter here?"

Shi Chen brought two cups of hot tea and winked at Zhu Tong before going upstairs.

"If the juniors have something, please ask Mrs. Yu for help."

Zhu Tong took out the morning glory jade fan pendant given by the old liar and handed it over.

The old man took it, flipped it over and over again, and his face showed a strange expression like that of an old liar; Picked up the teacup again and gave Zhu Tong a sip of it.

"Unfortunately, she's not here, she's gone far away, you want to see her and come back after the New Year."

"Seniors, don't lie." Zhu Tong stood up and bowed: "Zhu Tong, a disciple of Zhu Tong, has seen Mrs. Yu's seniors." ”

The old man waved his hand again and again: "This can't be done, you can't mess with the rules, you are now the head of the Zhumen, how can I be such a bad old man?" I can't do it. But he didn't stand up.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Tong was looking for traces of Shen Shixuan, but he didn't find anything; After seeing the old man, he was even more puzzled, and it wasn't until Shi Chen blinked that he suddenly realized: The old liar didn't tell the truth, the so-called Lady Jade is just a code name, and the head of Shen Shixuan, regardless of gender, should be called Lady Jade.

"Shen Shixuan regards jade as a god and respects jade as a gentleman, of course you are the jade lady who serves the jade god. Is what the younger generation said right? However, he is not 100% sure whether this judgment is correct or not.

"Haha, if the old liar's vision were as clever as you, he wouldn't lose me justice. Sit, sit, please. Mrs. Yu smiled and pulled Zhu Tong to sit down and looked at him for a moment: "Yes, the vision is good, you are a good material, worthy of carving." ”

Zhu Tong was uncomfortable by Mrs. Yu's eyes, and he was even more uncomfortable when he heard his words: "Senior ......" felt that there was a problem with his judgment just now, and Mrs. Yu was so happy.

"Call me Lady Jade."

"Yes, Madame Jade."

For an old man called Mrs., Zhu Tong is not used to it, and it is still a noble Mrs. Jade.

"Why didn't your master come?"

"Master, he's not the head of the Zhumen anymore......"

Zhu Tong told the matter again, this was explained by the old liar, and let Zhu Tong say that the more unlucky he was, the better.

Mrs. Yu really listened to it and became more and more happy: "Haha, you expelled the old liar from the door?" Well done, well done, he also has today? Haha, Zhu Tong, with your insight and courage, I will help you no matter what. ”

Zhu Tong has the feeling of crying and laughing, just now Mrs. Yu also said that the old liar lost him a fair, listening to this, it must be Mrs. Yu who suffers.

"Girls, is the meal ready, put it on the table, and I will have a few drinks with Brother Zhu."

Upstairs answered, Shi Chen took the lead, and the three girls walked down with dishes and bowls, and after a while, a few side dishes were ready.

What are the rules of Shen Shi Xuan? Invite someone to drink early in the morning, and don't ask the guests if they are tired or not, whether they need to rest. Also, call yourself Brother Zhu, what is Mrs. Yu's generation?

"Drink." Mrs. Yu took out two white jade cups, the jade cups were in her hands, the cups were warm and moist, and when she drank the wine, she had a jade fragrance.

Only then did Zhu Tong see the power of Shen Shixuan.

He had seen similar jade cups in Shanghai antique shops, with similar jade quality and jade skills, and the price was hundreds of thousands.

Butterfly God is fond of alcohol, and the amount of alcohol that I wish Tong to drink today is not drunk by ordinary people. It is forbidden to be invisible to him in the group, from the first glass of wine, he was a little involuntary, the butterfly god became excited, drank a pound of high wine, and the wine was mostly refined and absorbed by the butterfly god, and Zhu Tong didn't feel anything at all.

"No, I'm old, I can't drink anymore. If you drink it again, you will be delayed. ”

Mrs. Yu stopped the cup, and in half an hour, the two of them had already drunk a jar of private spirits.

"Zhu Tong, come to my Shenshi Xuan, what's the matter?"

"Please use the seniors to use magic to make jade, I need this ......" Zhu Tong took out the paper, explained while writing, and said his request: "The price is not a problem." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Jade suddenly changed color, and pushed her cup up as if she was greatly insulted: "You let me make fake jade?" No, Shen Shixuan is not your blessing, he has never lied to people, and he will not do anything like that for you. ”
