The western suburbs of Guiping, in front of the Xianjian Hall.

If he hadn't witnessed this luxurious building with his own eyes, Pu Zixuan wouldn't have known what a real "mansion" was, and the compound occupied a huge piece of land, dwarfing the surrounding houses. At first glance, it is about ten times the size of the Forgotten Worry Hall, and there are more than three or five times the size of the Happy Mansion, no wonder a few days ago when looking at Guiping City from a distance on the Shining Mountain, there was such a building standing out from the crowd.

I saw that the walls were all carved from milky white stone bricks, and the gold carving made the sword warrior enter the wood between the white stones, just standing outside the door, you could feel a solemn breath blowing on the face, as if it was not in the same era as the Qing Dynasty.

There are lion statues carved from white stone on both sides of the gate, and under such a majestic momentum, Pu Zixuan's innate sense of superiority is gone, and even the sound of knocking on the door has become cautious, for fear that a rude person will make him look like a vulgar person.

Shaoqing, the door opened, and two guards dressed in gray swept Pu Zixuan with a majestic face, and one of them asked, "Who are you and what are you doing?" ”

Pu Zixuan made a gesture, and replied respectfully: "Oh, the younger generation is from Lijiang, Yunnan, surnamed Pu Zixuan, who has long admired the prestige of Xianjian Hall, and came to see the head of Zhu Shihua and learn from his teacher." ”

The guard asked, "Who introduced you?" ”

Pu Zixuan said: "I was recommended by Su Sanniang, and I hope that the two juniors will report it." ”

The two guards looked at each other, their faces showed vigilance, and then they laughed, and the guards pretended to laugh and said, "Su Sanniang? Could it be the female long-haired woman in the Long-Haired Army? Wasn't she long dead? How did you come to us? ”

Pu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and then thought of two possibilities, one is that Su Sanniang was incognito, and the pseudonym Feng Yuliang was acting as a purification messenger, and even the subordinates of Xianjian Hall were secretive; Second, it may be that the whole Immortal Sword Hall, including these two guards, also knows the truth about Su Sanniang, but Guangxi is now under the rule of the Qing court, so naturally it cannot admit the existence of "bandits" and "long hair" to anyone. In either case, the duo's reaction was reasonable.

Subsequently, Pu Zixuan thought of what Wu Youxiang had said that there were rumors that Su Sanniang had returned to Xianjian Hall, since Su Sanniang had returned to Guangxi and went straight to Xianjian Hall, this rumor could only come from within Xianjian Hall, and the status of the preacher was not high, so it can be inferred that it should be the second case.

So, Pu Zixuan squeezed a look at the two, coughed twice, and said seriously: "Oh, it's a mistake, Feng Yuliang introduced me." ”

The two looked at each other again, and then looked Pu Zixuan up and down with surprised eyes.

The person who can know that Feng Yuliang is Su Sanniang, except for the inside of the Immortal Sword Hall and a very small number of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom generals, there will be no one else. There is no doubt that this person will be his own person.

The guard said, "Oh, it's Feng Yuliang, you wait a minute, let me go and report to the hall master, and ask if there is such a person among the apprentices." ”

Then, the guard left, and the other guard looked at Pu Zixuan vigilantly and didn't say anything more. After half a burnt of incense, the previous guard returned to the door, raised his hand and said, "Hall Master Zhu agrees with you, please come with me." ”

Walking into the mansion with the guards, the scene in front of them is even more luxurious, only to see a long corridor in the middle of the spacious courtyard, decorated with rockery waterfalls on both sides, and the pavilions and eaves at the end of the corridor are high, pecking in the air like a bird's beak. Passing through a door, there is a cloister, and the cloister twists and turns, twists and turns, as deep as a labyrinth.

And the most unusual thing is that no matter where it is, there are always densely planted small-leaved red bean trees, with lush branches and shades that cross each other, and even the sun blocks out for six or seven minutes.

There is no doubt that such a pattern is nothing more than to cover up the demonic aura in the hall and purify the aura of the envoy, no wonder no matter how Chen Shuqing searched, she couldn't detect half of Su Sanniang's breath.

……

"One, two, three, change formation!"

In another large courtyard, a group of gray-clothed disciples, holding wooden swords, in a lotus-like formation, were training one move at a time under the guidance of a sect leader. The head of the sect is not old, let alone gray hair, and it must not be Zhu Shihua himself.

I saw that the guard who led the way respectfully shouted "Hello Senior Brother Gu" to the sect leader, and did not linger long, and continued to lead Pu Zixuan on the march.

This sect leader was Gu Xiangping, who was fighting with Qin Yong on the mountain road a few days ago, and at this time he glanced at Pu Zixuan, and he didn't say much, continuing his stern teaching: "No, no, the action is not fast enough, swallow it slowly like this, if you meet the purification messenger, how can you delay the time?" ”

Pu Zixuan's heart tightened, and he said "hehe" twice in embarrassment, and left quickly.

When I finally came to the backyard, I saw a white-haired old man with a cloak of hair, squinting his eyes, bending his waist, and leisurely watering a small-leaved red bean tree.

The guard brought Pu Zixuan to the old man and reported: "Master Zhu, the person has been brought, and the little one has left." After giving the salute, he quickly retreated.

Pu Zixuan thought in his heart, this old man is really not ordinary, in this place guarded by the Qing court, he doesn't even tie braids, it seems that either he can't leave this mansion an inch, or the court can't do anything about him, so he said: "Master Zhu, the younger Pu Zixuan has admired the name for a long time, and it is a great honor to see him today, and I hope that the seniors will not hesitate to give advice." ”

Zhu Shihua turned around, squinted at Pu Zixuan, and asked, "What do you want to learn?" ”

Pu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, and responded: "Huh? This one...... The younger generation is dull, and he is only shallow in martial arts, and he hopes that the seniors will give a little bit. ”

Zhu Shihua said slowly: "Different tuition fees have different items, learn some bandaging techniques, one or two silver; Learn basic skills, ten taels of silver; If you want to learn unique swordsmanship, you need a hundred taels of silver; Of course, if you join our church and use it for my use, you can reduce the ...... appropriately according to the situation."

Pu Zixuan suddenly recalled that Su Sanniang once said that this old man loves money like life, and today I can see that this is the case, I have more money and less money, but it is absolutely impossible to join this hall, leave home thousands of miles away, and lose Xiao Jiu, and become an inconspicuous existence from now on. Besides, how could I have come to learn these things?

After speaking, Pu Zixuan used the power of purification, surrounded by a sky-blue aura all over his body, and said, "Senior, I'm here to learn this." ”

Zhu Shihua saw that Pu Zixuan was a purification messenger, and his squinted eyes suddenly widened, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his tone became serious: "Oh, oh, I remember, it's the one introduced by Su Sanniang, the descendant of Pu Songling, hehe, the old man is disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

Pu Zixuan said: "Exactly, what Su Sanniang has learned, the younger generations want to learn, and I hope that the seniors will not hesitate to teach." ”

"Come on, let me see what you're capable of." Before Zhu Shihua's words fell, Pu Zixuan already felt his toes off the ground, and his body quickly flew backwards and hit the courtyard wall. In front of him, Zhu Shihua's body was also surrounded by the power of azure purification.

Zhu Shihua shook his head and said: "If the enemy sneaks up, I'm afraid your reaction will have already returned to heaven." ”

Pu Zixuan steadied himself and said, "I didn't think about playing with my predecessors at all!" ”

Zhu Shihua said: "Okay, then you stand firm and start over...... Not so, the ability, use it. ”

Pu Zixuan saw that this old man was unfathomable, thinking that Chen Shuqing's demonic power had increased after absorbing the fragments of "Mixed Moon Jue", even if he was injured, he would save himself everywhere, if he didn't make progress, he would not be able to raise his head anymore, and a flame suddenly ignited in his heart, and he shouted: "Galaxy Dragon King!" ”

The spirit of the Star River Dragon King has appeared, which makes Pu Zixuan look more imposing, and Zhu Shihua sighed: "As Su Sanniang said, it is the ability of the summoning system!" is worthy of being Pu Songling's descendant, this posture is really a bit majestic! The old man also went out to practice a few days ago, just to try his legs and feet, come and come, don't be merciful! ”

"Okay, then please forgive the juniors for offending!" Pu Zixuan took a quick step, and he was already running towards Zhu Shihua, stretching out his dragon claws to take Zhu Shihua's head.

"Oops!" I only heard Zhu Shihua scream, his head was eaten by Pu Zixuan's blow, he took a few steps back, covered his head and screamed.

Pu Zixuan was shocked, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and said, "Senior...... Why don't you hide or block? ”

"The old man just wants to see the results of his cultivation, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, continue."

There was another random attack, and Zhu Shihua's body had been hit one after another, and he was beaten to the ground, screaming again and again, and there was nothing else to do except that the purification power of that body had been surrounding.

Pu Zixuan completely withdrew his hand, and said in disappointment: "Don't come, it's boring for seniors to treat juniors like this." ”

Zhu Shihua smiled and asked, "Then tell me, how much success have you used?" ”

"Fifty percent."

"It seems that the old man's cultivation results are not bad, maybe you can't beat the old man to death even if you are ten successful."

"Why don't you try it." Pu Zixuan wanted to see Zhu Shihua's true ability, so he immediately increased his strength and fired at Zhu Shihua with all his strength, hoping to force him to make a move.

This time, Zhu Shihua finally got serious and began to fight with Pu Zixuan, only to see Zhu Shihua's figure as agile as the wind, not at all like an ancient person, and wherever his hand went, he dissected Pu Zixuan's simple attacks one by one. Pu Zixuan didn't let it go, one move after another, two huge purification forces came and went in the courtyard, stirring the branches rustling, and the fallen leaves on the ground were also flying all over the sky.

After another stormy attack to no avail, Pu Zixuan jumped into the distance, condensed the power of purification on the dragon king's claws, and released a wave of energy towards Zhu Shihua.

Zhu Shihua jumped up, and the energy hit a small-leaved red bean tree, and the trunk was immediately broken.

As soon as Zhu Shihua landed, another ball of energy flew out of the air, and this time he didn't dodge, shouting: "The howl of Zhu Yuan!" ”

I saw a blue light flash in Zhu Shihua's hand, and a giant sword appeared in an instant! Zhu Shihua raised his sword and waved it to block this momentum.

Qi Qi instantly changed course and flew towards the sky.

Pu Zixuan saw that Zhu Shihua had finally used his purification ability, and shouted: "Finally forced the seniors to make a move, the seniors are the purification messengers of the materialization system!" ”

"Ahh......hhh Oops, alas, alas! ”

Pu Zixuan smiled: "If it's broken, I'll pay for it, anyway, the juniors know a little bit about the strength of the seniors, and the seniors have also seen the juniors just a few times, now, you can apprentice, right?" ”

Zhu Shihua snorted: "The study of the purification envoy is not calculated in silver taels, starting with ten taels of gold, that is, one hundred taels of silver." ”

Pu Zixuan remembered that Su Sanniang had said that she had paid fifty taels of silver to worship Zhu Shihua as a teacher, but she didn't expect that the price would double a few years later, but fortunately this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Pu Zixuan was not heartbroken, and nodded: "Okay, no problem." ”

"And this tree, worth one tael, a total of one hundred and one taels!"

In the courtyard, Pu Zixuan's hearty laughter came: "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" ”
