CHAPTER IX

"My cousin was seriously ill, and she was sent to the countryside by Mrs. Hanqing when she was very young, and it's normal to not know." Ling Yue Yan said.

The two walked to the lobby, Xie Ji was making tea, and the small box was wiping the table on the side, just when they heard Li Nannan ask, "Then what do these have to do with your name?" ”

"Naturally, it has a relationship." The small box walked over with a feather duster and shook it and said: "Madame still has resentment about what Mrs. Hanqing did back then, and Mrs. Hanqing has a child than her husband, so Madame was angry and named Miss Yueyan, which means that everything must surpass Ling Yan." ”

Xie Ji's hand holding the cup trembled, and said with a smile: "The general's wife is so hasty? ”

Li Nannan also hid her face and smiled, from yesterday to now, she finally saw a happy expression on Li Nannan's face, Ling Yueyan glared at the small box, she hated it the most when someone told her about the origin of her name, if it weren't for the fact that the current situation did not allow it, she would have chased the small box eight hundred times.

On the second day, everyone was properly settled, and she was instructed to take care of Li Nannan, and after Ling Yueyan and Xie Ji went up the mountain together under the reluctance of the small box.

In fact, she didn't have to enter Linya Villa, her father just wanted her to leave Youjing City temporarily, and she could live in the garden with Xiao Box, but listening to what Xie Ji said, the old master sent a message to him that he also wanted to see Ling Yueyan.

Since the old master wants to see her, he will go, and he may not necessarily stay, and she can't look down on an old master who sweeps the stone steps.

After walking for a long time, Ling Yueyan began to feel a little exhausted, sitting on the stone steps panting, Xie Ji encouraged: "I have seen the stone steps, and I am almost there." ”

Ling Yueyan looked up, the endless stone steps, yes, it's almost there, when she came, it was still the purple cicada who carried her up, by the way, the purple cicada!

Ling Yueyan looked at Xie Ji, who was walking faster and faster in front of him, deliberately slowed down his pace, and whispered, "Purple cicada, purple cicada." ”

"Don't scream, I'll find her and tie her to the stump outside the garden before I go up the mountain." Xie Ji walked leisurely, and said: "I see that you obviously have martial arts, but you are so deficient, it is not unreasonable for the sweeping master to let you sweep these stone steps, at least I see that you are deficient." ”

"As a young lady, isn't qi deficiency the norm? If you have martial arts, you have to be covered like a man..."Wait a minute, Ling Yueyan suddenly stood in place, she had just heard something.

"Master Sweeper?!! Sweeping... Master? "She heard it right, what Xie Ji said just now was the sweeping master, she hadn't heard of the master's name sweeping the floor.

Xie Ji had already walked far away from Ling Yueyan, standing in the distance with his hands on his chest: "Yes, you are not mistaken, the master you saw back then was an ordinary sweeping master in Linya Villa. ”

Ling Yueyan immediately became angry and sat on the ground: "What a Linya Villa, a good first sect, and even sent a sweeper to meet foreign guests, it's really..."

"What is it, the old man's temper is not a matter of one or two days, and it is good for the master to see you." Xie Ji smiled, looked at the swaying bamboo forest on the side, the north wind was blowing, the sun was almost set, and if it was dark, he would not be able to reach the villa.

So Xie Ji raised his hands lightly, and actually rose into the air out of thin air, and the place where it rose was carried by a strong wind, rolling up the fallen leaves on the side, Ling Yueyan was stunned, it was an extremely rare condensing step, a few points more powerful than light skills, the legend only made it by General Haoyong of Wuai Country, but after General Haoyong disappeared many years ago, the condensing step had long been lost, I didn't expect Xie Ji to be.

Ling Yueyan became more and more curious about this Linya Villa, and before she could react, Xie Ji suddenly flew up and said, "If you can't run up before dark, you may not be able to enter the gate of the villa." ”

Xie Ji was very unsympathetic, and really disappeared without a trace, there was no one around, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Ling Yueyan's light skills of the three-legged cat were not as good as running, but she was too tired, and she lay on a stone step to rest.

Looking at the foot of the mountain, if you want to go back at this time, I am afraid that the road will be farther, only to resign yourself to continue to move forward, this damn stone steps, damn Xie Ji, damn Linya Villa, even more damn master!

Ling Yueyan scolded and walked, sure enough, he was full of motivation and a little stronger, and finally walked to the gate of this villa before sunset.

She lay on her back outside the door, losing half the strength to stand up, Senior Brother and the two disciples guarding the door behind her paced over and leaned over to look at Ling Yueyan.

"Senior brother, she won't be tired to death." A disciple asked.

Xie Ji looked at Ling Yueyan's expression as if he was extremely serious, and then shook his head: "There shouldn't be." ”

Ling Yueyan was exhausted, and reluctantly spit out a sentence from his mouth: "I... Want... See... Sweeping Master! After speaking, she fainted, and the reason for supporting her to climb up was very simple, she just wanted to ask the sweeping master back then, and tricked her into sweeping countless stone steps, and she was panicked in her heart.

This sleep went straight to noon on the second day, she was too tired and sleepy, and when she opened her eyes, she found that she was sleeping in a strange room, Ling Yueyan turned her eyes to look around, this is a very simple and elegant room, there are many gadgets on the cabinet, and there are makeup gifts placed on the opposite side, it must be a young girl's residence.

When she got up, her body was too sore, Ling Yueyan couldn't help but scream softly, it was terrible without the care of the small box, she walked over slowly and opened the door, this is Linya Villa, the place built next to the mountain really has a feeling of fairy spirit.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a smoky cliff, if she hadn't walked slowly and her head was still clear, this foot would have been a human life, she found that this house was very cleverly designed, there was nothing bare around, only one room stood on a high place, and it was really thrilling to see that the stone steps down were hidden in the white mist.

Not to mention that her hands and feet are sore now, even if her body is fine, this stone step may not be able to walk.

"Anyone? Feed! Ling Yueyan shouted loudly, all that answered her was a continuous echo, and there was nothing else, all around was a white expanse, and she couldn't see what was going on below.

"If you want to see me, you have to pass this test, little girl, it's not so easy to become my apprentice." A thick male voice floated from a distance, Ling Yueyan's right ear moved slightly, wanting to hear its specific location, and just after some exploration, a continuous echo sounded, breaking the trace.

Ling Yueyan was angry and shouted, "It was you who sent a message to Senior Brother saying that you wanted to see me, I don't want to see you, and I don't want to be your apprentice!" ”

There was no response for a long time, Ling Yueyan was helpless, and was about to go back to the room to rest for a while, when she turned around, she heard the sound of something falling on the ground, the sound was very soft, but her ear power has always been excellent, and it was quiet here, so she heard it very clearly.

Ling Yueyan stopped, a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned around and slowly walked to the stone steps next to the white mist, just now the voice of the old master sounded like it was far away, but after she pondered it carefully, she felt that it was wrong, if she really spoke far away, the echo should not be the same, it should be from far to near.

She stepped forward step by step, her right foot was already in the air above the white mist, and she was about to stretch out her left foot, when the voice of the old master came again: "You can think about it, if you are not careful, it will be goodbye to your relatives in the right capital." ”

Ling Yueyan was still a little hesitant, but when he heard his master's voice, he was even more sure, his left foot was raised very neatly, and when his feet were in the air, Ling Yueyan, who should have fallen into the abyss, only shook slightly, and steadily stepped on the flat ground one foot away from the white mist.

"Hahahahaha Another thing fell to the ground, and the thick white smoke gradually dissipated, only to see that the place where Ling Yueyan stood was a flat land, and there was a bridge extending forward, and there were several people standing on the opposite side of the bridge, and Xie Ji was among them.

The leader is a white-haired old man, with a tall and strong posture, and it is not difficult to guess that this person is the old father of Linya Villa.

Ling Yueyan was a little disdainful, looked at his master and said, "Why, Linya Villa looks down on the daughter of the founding general of Youjing City, and let the sweeper come to meet her, what about the hunched old master?" ”

Xie Ji stood behind a few people, and couldn't help but sneer when he heard Ling Yueyan say this, he had already told the master about it in the letter, and Ling Yueyan now deliberately said that the master was sweeping the floor, which was really funny.

The old man was taken aback, touched half of his beard, and then smiled: "You girl is also careful, if the teacher knew your identity back then, he would never..."

"Oh~ It turns out that Linya Villa is also like a traitor in the officialdom, and they all watch people put down dishes." Ling Yueyan slowly stepped forward, and the old master walked over from the bridge with the people behind him, this bridge was extremely steep, the two planks were far apart, and below was a real abyss.

When a few people came over, they didn't look down for half a minute, as if they were walking on the ground, this is the condensation step, they actually will.

"It's not like that, if the little junior sister had seen through the identity of the sweeping master, she might have already entered the villa, this test of entering the village is something that everyone has to go through, but the little junior sister is the fastest person to pass, very wise, the senior brother admires." A man came behind the old master, holding the burden that Ling Yueyan had brought up the mountain in his hand, and handed it to her.

She took it casually, and another man came over on the other side, younger than the one in front of her, and pointed to Xie Ji and began to introduce: "This is our senior brother Xie Ji." Then he pointed to the man who handed the burden: "This is the second senior brother Nanfu." ”

He patted his chest again and smiled very cheerfully: "I am your fourth senior brother, and the little junior sister can call me Brother Wenzhong." ”

The second senior brother Nanfu punched the fourth senior brother Wen Zhong on the head: "Your face is made of Alain's dumpling skin!" Brother also, when this is a turnip..."

"Nanfu!" Xie Ji scolded loudly, startling Ling Yueyan.
