Mystery of the Ancient Case (7)

Yin Xiaofei said goodbye to the head of the house with apprehension, holding the 'Guangliu Order' in his arms and the 'Yuhuang Sword' in his hand, feeling extremely heavy, but extremely happy. A kitchen assistant became the heir to the head of the Guangliu Sword Sect in an instant, and this change seemed too dramatic. But this is life, and it will always provide opportunities for powerful people that you can't imagine.

Back in the kitchen, Yin Xiaofei couldn't wait to tell Lao Wu about it.

Lao Wu was ordering tofu at the time, and when he heard what Yin Xiaofei said, he was also surprised. But when he saw the sword in Yin Xiaofei's hand and the unique 'Guangliu Order', he knew that all this was true.

"Good, good." Lao Wu nodded and said, put down the spoon of some marinade, wiped it in front of the apron with both hands, then took off the apron and put it on the stove, and said to Yin Xiaofei: "You wait for me." He strode out of the kitchen.

When he turned back, Lao Wu had two more books in his hand. Yin Xiaofei looked at Lao Wu's face, I don't know what his intentions are?

Lao Wu didn't say a word, and handed the book to Yin Xiaofei. Yin Xiaofei took the two books and looked at the covers, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The first book is the Guangliu Sword School's mastery of "Wuhan Sword Technique", and the second book is a book called "Divine Diet Details".

Yin Xiaofei asked curiously, "Old Wu, this book?" ”

Lao Wu said while tying the greasy apron: "You want to be the head of Guangliu in the future, how can you not understand the best swordsmanship of Guangliu?" Study well. As for the "Detailed Outline of Divine Diet", it is actually some medicinal diet recipes that I have summarized that can fix qi and refresh the mind, and you can read as much as you can understand. ”

Although Lao Wu said it casually, Yin Xiaofei knew that Lao Wu was a hidden person, and this sword book and this recipe were by no means ordinary, and he would definitely study them in detail.

Great grace is not grateful. Lao Wu's kindness to Yin Xiaofei, he is also difficult to repay. So he carefully put the book into his arms, knelt on the ground with both feet, and kowtowed to Lao Wu three times.

Lao Wu didn't help him, and ordered tofu by himself, but the little brine was mixed with a few tears. Perhaps the tofu ordered here also has a sour and salty taste.

Yin Xiaofei returned to the firewood room, packed his bags and carried them on his shoulders, pinned the 'Broken Que Sword' to his waist, held the 'Yuhuang Sword' in his right hand, and stood in front of the door to look at the small bed in the hut that had accompanied him for five years. Gritting his teeth, he closed the door and walked out of the mountain gate.

It was dusk and the jackdaws were in their nests.

Yin Xiaofei ran to the Mochizuki Creek in one breath, the stream was gurgling and clanging, and some weeds were newly growing on the grave.

Yin Xiaofei put aside the burden and the long sword, tidied up the master's grave with his bare hands, pulled out the weeds, and added some new soil.

After working for a while, he knelt in front of the grave, looked at the tombstone stupidly, and whispered, "Master, I am about to go down the mountain to practice." In the past five years, I have lived up to your teachings to me, it turns out that the head of the family is extremely important to me, and I want to return from my experience and teach me the position of the head of the house. Master, you are in the spirit of heaven, bless the apprentice to successfully complete the experience, and achieve the position of the head of Guangliu. After saying that, he knocked his head a few times.

Slowly stood up, looked up at the sky, a gust of wind blew, and the wisps of white hair rose gently. Yin Xiaofei silently thought in his heart: Father, the child is waiting for you, when I meet you, I will definitely make you proud and proud.

Lifting his bag and long sword, Yin Xiaofei strode down the mountain. When he left, he had no idea what great changes would happen in the future, and what difficult and dangerous obstacles he would experience. It's just that he knows in his heart that he will definitely use the sword in his hand to slay demons and eliminate demons, and turn evil into good fortune. thus opening his true path to the Sword Immortal.

As the saying goes, the small is hidden in the wild, and the big is hidden in the city. There is no shortage of swordsmanship masters in this mountain wilderness, but there are also many hidden powerhouses in this noisy market.

Yin Xiaofei's first stop down the mountain, of course, is the most prosperous city within a radius of hundreds of miles, Tizhou City.

Yin Xiaofei has been here several times, but he has purchased some essential supplies for life, and he hurried back to the sect, without really appreciating the prosperity and romance of Tizhou City.

Yin Xiaofei walked on the street of this Tizhou City, wearing a green shirt and white hair, a shiny long sword, although he carried a gray cloth package that was a little unpleasant, but it was not harmful. The woman would always purse her lips and smile and cast a little admiration in her eyes.

Yin Xiaofei didn't care too much about the girls' flattering eyes. He looked left and right along the street, and it turned out that he was looking for a martial arts hall dojo or something. In his opinion, these places may be able to gather some useful information for swordsmanship.

The three gilded characters of "Tianba Gate" appeared in Yin Xiaofei's eyes, although the name is very cheesy, but these three words are written in a powerful way, and they are three points into the wood.

The red lacquered gate under the plaque is also a long board with a high frieze, which is very imposing. The two stone-carved big men on the left and right, like heavenly generals, holding a seven-foot heavy sword, with cold eyebrows, standing majestically. At first glance, it is not an ordinary person's mansion.

Yin Xiaofei made up his mind and decided to meet the owner of this 'Tianba Gate' for a while.

So he straightened his shirt and raised his hand to step forward to knock on the door, but he didn't expect the door to open with a 'creak' first.

Yin Xiaofei hurriedly withdrew his hand, only to hear a polite and somewhat humble voice from inside the door: "Hehe, that's really annoying Butler Liu, please wait for me to ask the door master for peace." What do you always need, just ask, I will respond to your needs, and there is no ambiguity. ”

"Okay, okay, go back, your little shop, you can make a living at will, just remember to come here on the first day of every month to offer money." An old man said impatiently.

"You keep 10,000 hearts, and not a single child is missing. Hey, hey, hey, then I'm leaving, see you later, see you later. The man named Gao Qi replied with some joy.

At this time, Gao Qi squeezed out of a crack in the door of the Hongqi gate with a smile on his face, saw Yin Xiaofei in front of him at a glance, glanced at it, and muttered in his mouth: "Hey, it's weird, there are also young people in this world, and they are so white, it's like dyed hair, it's weird." ”

Although the man's grunting voice was the sound of mosquitoes and flies, Yin Xiaofei heard it clearly, but he didn't understand what those many words meant.

So he also glanced at the man, intentionally or unintentionally. This man was in his early thirties, with a rare short black hair, a broad band tied on his forehead, on which was written the word 'sorrow', and his face was full of eyebrows and a short beard on his chin, which looked very strange. The dress was even more strange, a short shirt draped over a leather coat that was not buttoned at the chest, a pair of navy blue trousers, and a pair of thick-soled black cloth shoes.

This dress is said to be a porter on the dock, but it is also a little different, in short, there is an indescribable weirdness.

"Alas, brother, you won't come to find the master, will you?" This Gao Qi suddenly opened his mouth and said to Yin Xiaofei.

Yin Xiaofei nodded.

Gao Qi said: "The master of the door is not here, I advise you to come again tomorrow, so as not to ......" Gao Qi wanted to speak and stopped.

Yin Xiaofei frowned and said, "Lest what?" ”

Gao Qi turned his head sideways and saw that the gate had been closed, so he leaned closer and whispered, "Don't you know that this guard dog is the most difficult to feed?" I see that you have a gentle face, and I advise you to go. ”

Yin Xiaofei nodded, knowing a little in his heart that this 'Tianba Gate' might not be a martial arts dojo at all.

"Do you know where there is a martial arts hall in the city?" Yin Xiaofei asked the person in front of him.

When Gao Qi heard this, he was stunned, and saw that the kid in front of him was magnificent, holding a long sword in his hand and a short sword pinned to his waist. This opening is to ask the martial arts hall, either to apply for the head coach or to kick the hall. Hey, it would be interesting if it was the latter.

"Well, don't say it, I really know there's a martial arts gym. I don't know what my brother is looking for a martial arts gym for? Gao Qi asked with interest.

"Visit for advice." Yin Xiaofei said modestly.

However, these four words are no different from the word kicking the hall in Gao Qi's ears, and the idea that the people in the market are afraid that the world will not be chaotic suddenly turned into a state of excitement, overflowing with words.

Gao Qi said with a smile on his face: "It's good to visit, it's good to ask for advice, I'll take you there, how about it?" ”

Yin Xiaofei didn't twist either, and arched his hand and said, "Then there is Brother Laotai." ”

"Well, you're kind to go." As soon as Gao Qi beckoned, he walked forward with a big grin, followed by Yin Xiaofei.

The two talked all the way, and Yin Xiaofei learned that the 'Tianba Gate' was a big real estate owner in this state city, and many downtown shops in the city were the properties of the 'Tianba Gate'. This Gao Qi has just rented a property on the street in the Chengxi Market for his livelihood. But as for what to do for a living, this Gao Qi mysteriously kept silent.

Of course, Yin Xiaofei also told Gao Qi his name and the origin of his teacher, Gao Qi knew that Yin Xiaofei was from the Guangliu Sword School, and the master was a good friend in the rivers and lakes, and of course he had more respect. So the idea of watching a good show was dispelled, and instead told him to go to the martial arts hall to seek advice, but he must be cautious in his words and deeds, and if he doesn't pay attention to it and cause misunderstandings, he will incur trouble.

In fact, how could Yin Xiaofei not know this, so he had already made up his mind that he would never start to learn from each other when he visited for advice for the first time. It's just that Yin Xiaofei is not deeply involved in the world, and his thoughts are a little naΓ―ve. As the so-called people in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, and some things are difficult to control.

Gao Qi and Yin Xiaofei talked all the way, and felt that Yin Xiaofei was very real, and there were no flashing words in his words, and he thought that it was not easy to meet such a dusty young man in this world, so he slowly had a good impression of him.

Yin Xiaofei also felt that Gao Qi was generous, although he spoke a lot, he was enthusiastic. When I passed by a vegetable market, I helped an old woman remove a bamboo basket full of sweet potatoes on her back. Knowing that although he has a strange appearance and clothes, he has an old-fashioned and warm heart, and it seems that he is a person who can be befriended.

Between the words, the two came to a wide square, this square is a large flow of people in the market, the entrance of the market is a huge archway is very eye-catching, a pair of ancient wooden plaques on the archway, the two gilt characters on it are vigorous and powerful, the word is "sword workshop".

When the two walked into this city, the first thing that caught their eyes was a ring that was more than three feet square. On both sides of the ring are written in red silk and yellow letters, the upper one is "Friends and friends are all over the five lakes and seas", and the lower one is "Ask with a sword to say that the earth and the sky are all brothers". On the side of the ring, a huge gold-edged red-bellied and white-faced drum is firmly placed on the drum rack, which is very imposing.

"Oh, this is it, the largest martial arts hall in Quanwei Zhou City, it is said that it was purchased by Meng Guowu after returning to his hometown, so this martial arts hall is called 'Zhuangyuan Martial Arts Hall'." Gao Qi wiped the short whisker on his chin and said.

Yin Xiaofei looked at the four big characters on the plaque at the main entrance next to the ring, and said in his heart that this plaque is even more imposing than the 'Tianba Gate', it seems that there must be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon here, and he will definitely be able to learn useful martial arts. So he straightened his shirt again, patted the dust on his shirt, and walked towards the gate with his head held high.

Gao Qi stood in place, looking at Yin Xiaofei's back, frowning thoughtfully.

"What for? Hold it. A man in gray in front of the door put the unsheathed long sword across Yin Xiaofei's chest and asked viciously.

Yin Xiaofei arched his hand and said: "Yin Xiaofei, a disciple of the Sword Sect in Xiaguangliu, has come to meet the hall master. ”

"From the Hiroliu Sword Sect?" The man in gray looked at Yin Xiaofei, squeezed his eyes at the man in blue opposite, and the man in blue hugged his fist at the man in gray, and then entered the gate, obviously going in to report.

"This young man, please wait a while, because there have been some miscellaneous things in the martial arts hall recently, and it is not very convenient for the curator to receive guests. However, since Shaoxia is the doorman of the Divine Camel, we will still inform you one or two, and the hall owner may meet you. The man in gray heard that Yin Xiaofei was a disciple of the Guangliu Sword Sect, and his tone was much more polite.

At this time, the man in blue had already hurriedly ran out with his sword, and said to Yin Xiaofei: "Young man, the hall master is invited." ”

Yin Xiaofei's heart is wide, and the status of the Sword Sect in the rivers and lakes is so high, and he is also very happy. Without further ado, he said goodbye to the two men, and under the leadership of the man in blue, he entered the gate of the 'Champion Martial Arts Hall'.

At this time, a hurried voice came from behind him: "Yin Shaoxia, Yin Shaoxia, wait for me." "The person who spoke was, of course, Gao Qi.

At this time, Gao Qi was also stopped by the man in gray, Yin Xiaofei turned to watch, and the man in gray asked, "Yin Shaoxia, is this person with you all the way?" ”

Yin Xiaofei glanced at Gao Qi and nodded. The gray-clothed man also glanced at Gao Qi, and reluctantly put down the hand that stopped him, Gao Qi squeezed his eyebrows, and grinned: "Thank you strong man, good health, good luck." ”

Gao Qi followed Yin Xiaofei with a few jumps, and followed with a hippie smile, showing a strange and arrogant look.

Yin Xiaofei glanced at him, felt that this person was very funny, and also chuckled, and followed the man in blue through the courtyard and into the main hall of the martial arts hall.

The main hall of this martial arts hall is very stylish, and many bronze glazed lamps are hung above the high hall, and even during the day, they are lit with lights, illuminating the main hall brightly. In the center of the main hall, a huge 'martial' word is eye-catching, and there is a huge 'Yi' character enshrined on the desk in front of the hall, and it seems that the owner here is also a loyal and righteous person.

In addition to the exquisite tables and chairs on both sides of the main hall, there are also various styles of iron swords on the mahogany weapon racks, such as seven-foot giant swords, three-foot long swords, one-foot short swords, serpentine monster swords, and iron shield broadswords. It is worthy of being the first martial arts hall in Tizhou City.

It's just that there is only one thing that is very strange, this huge martial arts hall, the bright main hall, there is not a single disciple.

Yin Xiaofei and Gao Qi both discovered this strange phenomenon. It stands to reason that when you enter the martial arts hall, you should hear the shouts of the warriors and the sound of weapons colliding. And here, too, it's too quiet.

Yin Xiaofei frowned, gathered his sword qi to clear his five senses, and only heard some gurgling sounds of boiling water and the coughing sound of men, and there seemed to be sighs.

"Please wait here, I'll go to the inner hall to report to the master." The man in blue said a word, and then turned into the inner hall in a hurry.

Gao Qi shook his head, squinted his eyes, and turned around in this hall with his eyes purring, and whispered to Yin Xiaofei: "There is an evil spirit in this hall, brother, you can pay attention." ”

When Yin Xiaofei heard this, he seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say what caused it, and he also looked at the Nuo Dazheng Hall, which was lit up during the day, and felt that the strange atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger. It stands to reason that this martial arts hall is a place where yang energy is extremely strong, why is there such an eerie feeling?

While he was wondering, a middle-aged man in a yellow brocade robe and holding a long sword walked out of the inner hall, although he tried to squeeze out the smile on his face, but he could still see his long-standing sorrow in the smile.

The middle-aged man gave up his hand from a long distance, and when he approached a little, he said respectfully: "The arrival of the master disciple of the divine camel has made the hall shine, honored, honored." ”

Yin Xiaofei also didn't say that he was not a disciple of Zuoqiu Zhongyun, and responded with his hand: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

Gao Qi also arched his hand casually, and his strange face actually frowned slightly.

The three of them exchanged a few casual greetings, and then sat down in front of the hall, and the man in blue brought hot tea for the three of them, and hurriedly retreated, as if he was extremely reluctant to stay here.

When Yin Xiaofei saw that the pavilion master was sitting down, he got up and arched his hand and said: "Yin Xiaofei, the junior Guangliu Sword Sect, has come to ask his seniors for swordsmanship, and I hope that his seniors will not hesitate to teach him." ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he frowned, and said in his heart that this kid looked like a person, and it turned out that he was here to kick the hall, so he pressed his sword and said coldly: "The director of this museum also wants to learn the young man's tricks." ”

Gao Qi heard the clue, and said in his heart that this Yin Xiaofei was a polite request for advice, but it was difficult for people to understand it. Hurriedly started the round and said: "My brother has just come out of the mountain, and he doesn't know the rules of the rivers and lakes very well. ”

Yin Xiaofei heard Gao Qi say this, and hurriedly followed: "Yes, the younger generation is just humbly seeking advice, and there is no intention to provoke right and wrong for no reason." ”

When the curator heard this, his frowning brows relaxed, and the hand that pressed the sword slowly loosened. He glanced at Yin Xiaofei carefully, and saw that the silver hair was high, and there was a righteous spirit between his eyebrows, and he was even more relieved. So he said slowly: "I am very honored that the young man humbly asks me for advice. However, there have been some miscellaneous things in the hall recently, and even my own disciples have left the hall and returned to their hometowns, so I am really troubled, and it is difficult to give guidance to the young man. I can't help you, so please go back. After speaking, he shook his head helplessly.

"Does the owner have a serious patient at home who needs to be taken care of, so the owner is deprived of skills?" Yin Xiaofei said suddenly.

When the owner heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "How can Shaoxia know that there is a sick person in my family?" ”

Yin Xiaofei said: "I heard the sound of boiling water in the back hall, and it was accompanied by the sound of manly weakness and coughing, and there was a slight smell of hot medicine and rice mixed in the air. ”

When the owner heard this, he stood up, walked to Yin Xiaofei, and said excitedly: "Shaoxia is really a god, a god." There was a look of excitement and nervousness on his face like grasping a life-saving straw.

Gao Qi on the side was also shocked, and opened his ears to listen to the boiling water and coughing, but he couldn't hear anything except the occasional barking of dogs outside the door. As for the smell of medicine in the air, it was even less than a star.

Yin Xiaofei said: "Pavilion master, please sit down and talk slowly, maybe I can help you with your difficulties." ”

The pavilion owner sat down slowly, sighed and said, "Alas, since the young man said so, I also put down my old face and told you, here's the thing..."

It turned out that the owner of this hall was surnamed He, whose name was Shanyue, and he was the only son of Meng Guowu's champion He Wu. Then why not return to his hometown at the age of 50 and buy this 'champion martial arts hall'. On the night of his 70th birthday, he suddenly left in the middle of the night without saying goodbye and traveled alone, and there was no news of him.

He Shanyue had no choice but to take over this business and continue to run the martial arts hall, although during this period he sent people to search for his father, but the people who sent to search for him returned in vain.

Although He Shanyue felt that something was wrong, he was helpless. Fortunately, the He family enjoys a good reputation in Tizhou City and even the entire Meng Kingdom, and a set of 'General Swordsmanship' created by He Bu is well-known in the country, and there is an endless stream of people who come to the 'Zhuangyuan Martial Arts Hall' to learn from him, and the business of the martial arts hall is quite prosperous.

This He Shanyue also has a son under his knees, whose name is He Mingxian, and he is as his name suggests, and he is very virtuous at a young age. He often helps the poor and helps the needy, and distributes wealth for disaster relief. He is very good at drinking, and often invites people to drink in the largest restaurant in the city, 'Zhilan Drunken Township Building'. On the rivers and lakes, there are two ways of black and white, and the three sects and the nine streams and the thieves of chickens and dogs have all drunk his wine and received his favors. Therefore, people say that half of the prosperity of this "champion martial arts hall" is because of the champion He Can't, and the other half is because of this bold He Mingxian.

One day, this He Mingxian was still drinking with a group of drinking friends in the hall of 'Zhilan Drunken Township Building'.

Just as he was drinking, a Taoist priest dressed in a Tai Chi Bagua robe, carrying a long sword and a wisp of goatee walked into the restaurant.

Originally, there was nothing strange about the Taoist priest entering the restaurant, but it was strange that the Taoist priest was carrying a white thing in his hand.

He Mingxian shook his head and fixed his eyes to see that the thing in the Taoist priest's hand was actually a white-scaled pangolin.

Pangolins are not a rare animal, but this white-scaled pangolin is rare. There are also many high-rollers from the rivers and lakes who are born in Orion, and they have never seen or heard of this white pangolin. So driven by curiosity, the big guy asked the Taoist priest how he got the white pangolin.

The Taoist priest was also bold, ordered wine and food and sat down in the middle of the restaurant hall. Throwing the white pangolin to the ground, brushing his slightly obscene goatee, he was arrogant, and said proudly: "Poor Dao was originally cultivating sword qi in the upwind cave of Fuyin Mountain outside the city of Tizhou, but I didn't expect this evil beast to penetrate the headwind cave, and I was so shocked that I almost went mad." Everyone also knows that this headwind cave is a blessed land in the world, and if this evil animal dares to destroy the blessed land, it must be a demon. So I injured it with my sword qi, captured it, and prepared to bring it back to Guanzhong to peel it and make wine, and break its bones to refine medicine. ”

"Good guy, you actually dare to destroy the blessed land, is it the same as the crocodile demon five years ago?"

"It's very likely, if you look at this white scale, it's obvious that you've cultivated into a demon."

"Fortunately, the Taoist chief captured this demon who has not yet become a fire, and there is a big hidden danger for the people."

"Yes, yes, Dao Chang Gaoyi!"

The drinkers, every word you and I say, are all praising the chief and spitting on this white-scaled pangolin.

This white-scaled pangolin seemed to have spirituality and could understand human speech, and in the midst of everyone's accusations, it curled up on the ground and shivered. Some of the good deeds kicked the pangolin with their feet, and the pangolin wailed like a baby crying.

Saying this, He Mingxian also listened to the Taoist priest's details, so he glanced at the Taoist priest. Seeing that he had inverted triangular eyes, sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and that goatee was even more spicy and dirty.

He Mingxian made friends with talented people in the world and knew a wide range of people. Seeing the Taoist priest's appearance, I was stunned. Although it is said that people should not be disguised, but the mind is often floating in the face, loyal and loyal, and traitorous and treacherous, which has also been there since ancient times.

I looked at the white-scaled pangolin on the ground again, and I looked pitiful, and there seemed to be teardrops in my closed eyes. So I was moved by compassion.

He Mingxian drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp and stood up. When his drinking friends saw this, they all laughed, knowing that this famous wine had already been served, and he was going to do something bold.

"The shopkeeper, put up three more jars of good wine, and send it to the Taoist chief's table, the wine and food he ordered before, I He Mingxian was invited." He Mingxian shouted as he walked towards the Taoist priest.

When the Taoist priest heard this, of course he was happy, and he stood up with a wrinkled face with a smile, made a unique Taoist 'hug yuan Shouyi' salute, and said, "Thank you, layman." ”

"Don't thank me, Daoist, you deserve to eliminate harm for the people. It's just that there is a reluctant request below, Dao Chief, can you hand over this demon to me to deal with. He Mingxian walked up to the Taoist priest and stared into his eyes and asked.

The smile on the Taoist priest's face suddenly dissipated, and he made a look of embarrassment, and said, "Layman, this ......"

"How about I give you another ten taels of silver?" He Mingxian said with certainty.

The Taoist priest's face was suddenly piled up, and he said with a smile: "Let the layman break the bank." ”

He Mingxian smiled, took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the table, picked up the white-scaled pangolin on the ground, and strode out of the restaurant. As he walked, he said, "The shopkeeper, all the wine money of the Shicai Restaurant is counted on my head." ”

There was a jubilant sound in the restaurant.

He Mingxian looked down at the white-scaled pangolin trembling in his arms, and said softly: "Poor guy, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." ”

Strange to say, as soon as he said this, the pangolin slowly calmed down, his body stopped shaking, and he looked at He Mingxian's tough face with a pair of black eyes, and after a while, he fell asleep in his arms.

It is said that He Mingxian hugged the white-scaled pangolin and walked out of the 'Zhilan Drunken Township Building'. At this time, he was also a little drunk, although he was not drunk, but he also began to get dizzy.

He Mingxian simply summoned a carriage, rushed into the carriage with the pangolin in his arms, and vaguely instructed the coachman to go to Fuyin Mountain.

The horses neighed, the wheels rolled away, and the bumps in the road made He Mingxian quickly fall asleep.

In his sleep, He Mingxian heard a woman calling: "Childe, childe." ”

He Mingxian only realized at this time that he had arrived in an unknown place. Here the majestic mountains are towering on all sides, lush and verdant, the birds are singing, the flowers are fragrant, a bridge, a stream and a wooden house, the weeping willows are fluttering by the stream, and a burst of mist slides through the foot, just like a fairyland.

A beautiful woman in a white veil was leaning against the fence outside the wooden house and calling softly: "Childe, childe." ”

He Mingxian saw the woman's unearthly beauty, and his heart couldn't help but ripple. Listening to her call, I looked back and saw that there was no one else around, only myself standing among the flowers. So he pointed to his nose with the woman, and the woman smiled and nodded, and that smile made He Mingxian feel as if he had drunk a hundred years of alcohol.

My Fair Lady, Gentleman. He Mingxian lifted the cheongsam, and hurriedly strode over the ten thousand flowers. Maybe he ran too quickly, and the small thorn on the flower branch scraped a small hole on the back of his right hand, and the skin was broken, and a little blood overflowed.

He Mingxian was in pain, raised his hand to take a look, this little injury was so worrying for people who practice martial arts, he wiped it casually and wiped off the blood stains.

Ran to the woman, and looked at this beautiful woman through the half-human-high fence, her eyes were as fixed as if they were fixed, and she couldn't take them off anymore.

When the woman saw He Mingxian looking at herself like this, she shyly half-covered her face with her sleeve veil, and the red glow rose, and She Mingxian was even more fascinated.

The woman gently moved the lotus step, pushed the gate of the fence open, and called softly: "Childe, please come in." ”

He Mingxian came back to his senses at this time, knowing that staring at a lady like this was really abrupt, and he apologized again and again.

The woman smiled slightly, and didn't bother with him, but invited him to sit in the back room.

He Mingxian was also heroic, thanked the woman, and strode into this exquisite cabin.

The house is fragrant, and it is obviously a boudoir. The furnishings are luxurious and unconventional, all of which are simple and elegant. A square table in the room was already full of wine and food. The dishes are even more rich and colorful, which makes people have a great appetite when they look at them.

The woman asked He Mingxian to sit on the upper seat, and she accompanied her on the right to pour wine for him. He Mingxian was originally unhappy without wine, and drank the wine to the fullest, only to realize that the wine he drank was a good wine that he had never drunk in his life, and it was suspected that it was the fairy wine.

"How can Xiaosheng be so virtuous, I am really a little unhappy to be treated by the girl like this!" Drinking this glass of wine made He Mingxian sober up a lot, so he asked the girl why.

The girl smiled slightly, then poured all the wine in the cup, and said softly: "The son is righteous in the world, the little woman fell in love with you at first sight, and today she was suddenly invited, and I only want to tie the knot with you." ”

After speaking, his cheeks were as red as cinnabar, but his eyes were full of expectation, and he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.

When He Mingxian heard this, his heart was even more deer, and the wine glass in his hand was a little unable to hold it, and a lot of wine was shaken. Hurriedly raised his glass and drank it, and said in his mouth: "Okay, good." But in his heart, he secretly scolded himself for being so unproductive, embarrassing himself in front of the girl.

The woman listened to He Mingxian say yes repeatedly, although her face was more shy, but her heart was also very cheerful. He poured the wine in the cup again, and said softly: "The little woman's surname is Bai Mingjin, and she is the daughter of a hermit in Fuyin Mountain. Half a year ago, my father passed away, and in his last words, he said that in half a year, I would meet a true hero and I would meet and get to know each other, and get married for a hundred years. But then there will be a big catastrophe, and this catastrophe will be extremely unfavorable to this hero, and I will be desperate to help even if I disobey the heavens. Only by surviving this catastrophe can the willows and flowers be bright and the clouds can see the sun. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she looked at He Mingxian stupidly, with tears in her eyes, knowing that the man in front of her was the real hero.

He Mingxian saw the woman looking at him so infatuatedly, and his heart was already rippling outside the clouds. So he stepped forward and slowly put his arms around the woman and kissed her lips.

The flowers are gorgeous and the spouts are returning, and the spring night is worth a thousand gold.

The sound of the murmuring stream and the stone is continuous, and the beautiful woman is beautiful and has good news.

......

"Guest, guest, wake up!" A rough voice woke He Mingxian up. He Mingxian's body was shocked, and he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. Looking at the wrinkled coachman in front of him, frowning and squinting, he didn't come back to his senses.

The coachman said, "Guest officer, Fu Yinshan has arrived." ”

He Mingxian came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly got out of the car to look around, only to see the mountains and mountains, and the shadows of ancient trees and vines.

"Oops, what about the white-scaled pangolin I was holding in my arms just now?" He Mingxian asked the coachman with some anxiety.

The driver said, "I don't see it." You're in the car alone, where are the pangolins? ”

"Am I just in the car alone?" He Mingxian asked in some surprise.

The coachman affirmed, "Yes, you look like you've drunk a lot." ”

He Mingxian slapped his head and rebuked himself: "Drinking and making mistakes!" ”

So he handed the coachman two taels of silver and told him to hurry back to the 'Zhilan Drunken Township Building'. The coachman took the money, and of course he spurred his horse hard, and returned to the city of Tizhou in a short time.

At this time, the birds have already returned to their nests, and the stars are everywhere.

He Mingxian returned to the 'Zhilan Drunken Township Building' and consulted with the drinking friends, and learned that the white-scaled pangolin was indeed taken away by himself, but now he doesn't know where to go.

After thinking about it, since he was not caught by the Taoist priest to soak in wine, no matter where the pangolin went, he finally escaped, and he was relieved. So he said goodbye to a group of drinking friends and walked home.

Along the way, I slowly reminisced about the dream just now, and it was indeed a fresh memory, as if I was there. Thinking of the key point, I can't help but cover my mouth and laugh. Suddenly, I felt some pain in the back of my hand, and when I turned my hand, I saw that a blood mark was on the back of my hand, which had already scabbed.

Seven days later, the 'Champion Martial Arts Hall' was bustling. It turned out that a beautiful woman came to look for He Mingxian, saying that she was He Mingxian's wife who had not passed through the door.

The news spread quickly, not to mention the martial arts hall, even the entire sword workshop also exploded, and countless people flocked to the outside of the martial arts hall to watch the excitement.

He Shanyue ordered the disciples to close the door of the martial arts hall and asked one of the disciples to go to the 'Zhilan Drunken Township Building' to find the young master to come back. Seeing that although the woman's demeanor, words and deeds were a little presumptuous, her appearance and figure were extraordinary, and a beautiful long sword was dragged in the hand of the jade, which was by no means an ordinary man, maybe it was a closed disciple of a hidden master. So he didn't dare to slack off, and invited the woman to sit in the inner hall, and waited for her romantic rebel to come back and see how to explain to others.

He Mingxian heard that a woman had come to the martial arts hall to make trouble, and said that she was his wife who had not passed the door, and he was extremely puzzled. Throwing down the wine in his hand, he rushed to the martial arts hall.

He Mingxian returned to the martial arts hall and came to the inner hall, and when he saw the white veil and a beautiful and familiar face, he was already stunned. Isn't that a dream?

The beautiful woman finally met, and the two hugged each other tightly regardless of others. Bai Hibiscus said with tears in her eyes: "Husband, I don't want you to leave me again." Although He Mingxian was in a trance, but the beauty was in his arms, how could he live up to it, nodded desperately and said: "Good lady, I won't go, and I will never leave." ”

All this came too suddenly, although He Shanyue was a little at a loss, but seeing that Aiko and this extraordinary woman loved each other so much, he didn't want to beat the mandarin duck. Seven days later, He Fu held a huge wedding banquet, almost the entire city of Tizhou.

After He Mingxian and Bai Hibiscus got married, the two also loved each other, and Bai Hibiscus also fulfilled his filial piety to He Shanyue. In addition, Bai Hibiscus has an extraordinary appearance, and is rumored to be the first beauty in Tizhou by the outside world, and her speech and demeanor are generous, and she treats the disciples of the martial arts hall like brothers, and she also smiles and speaks gently to her neighbors, and gets along in harmony. So everyone liked this young grandmother, and said that He was famous and virtuous because of his generosity and generosity, and God gave him such a perfect lady as a reward.

In addition to the beauty and good temperament of this white hibiscus, the swordsmanship of that hand is also extraordinarily outstanding. After watching the white hibiscus dancing sword, even He Shanyue was ashamed of himself. Bai Hibiscus called this set of swordsmanship called 'Dust-free Swordsmanship', which was created by his father, and the swordsmanship was smart and elegant, and the dancing fairy spirit was compelling, which was indeed extraordinary.

Bai Hibiscus was not stingy with this set of swordsmanship, and generously passed it on to her husband and in-laws. Since He Shanyue learned this set of swordsmanship, coupled with the integration of the 'General's Swordsmanship', that realm has improved a lot. Unexpectedly, he broke through two layers in a row in half a year, reaching the sixth layer of the Edgeworth Realm.

It is said that because the He family took Bai Hibiscus, a well-behaved daughter-in-law, that day should have become more and more prosperous.

However, the sky is unpredictable, and the moon is cloudy and sunny.

A year later, after He Mingxian came back drunk from a drinking banquet, he couldn't afford to get drunk. The doctor diagnosed that the liver was severely damaged due to long-term excessive drinking, and there was no surgery.

This unfortunate news shocked the 'Champion Martial Arts Pavilion' up and down, and also shocked the entire Tizhou City, is it really necessary to fulfill the saying that good people don't live long?

Mother He watched her beloved son fall ill and washed her face with tears all day long. He Shanyue was also heartbroken, and ordered the head of the martial arts hall to still teach his disciples martial arts as usual, and he was ready to go out to the hidden place of Naqi Mountain to ask for medicine to save his son.

Bai Hibiscus has been by He Mingxian's side since he fell ill, not eating or drinking, and he is getting thinner and thinner.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was so sad, Mother He also persuaded her many times, but Bai Hibiscus was so stubborn that she never left He Mingxian, and still didn't eat or drink. Unexpectedly, half a month later, Bai Hibiscus was one step ahead of He Mingxian and died.

The son was seriously ill and the daughter-in-law also died of grief, plunging the He family into an unprecedented cloud.

He Shanyue knew that Bai Hibiscus was a stranger, and since she starved herself to death, she knew that her son's limit had come, and Bai Hibiscus was martyrdom. So the white hibiscus was buried and the coffin was stored in the side room.

He Shanyue also gave up the idea of going out to find medicine, and was only willing to accompany his son through these last days.

But it's strange to say that since Bai Hibiscus's death, although He Mingxian's condition has not improved, he has not shown that he is going to leave his soul while taking medicine, but his body is extremely weak, a state of half-dead.

I didn't expect this delay to be a year. It's just that many strange things have happened in this year, first of all, the lobby of the martial arts hall is like night during the day, the sun is shining outside, but there are no fingers in the hall. Then the well outside the martial arts hall froze on dog days, and after that, the martial arts hall was also covered with a thin layer of frost every morning, which was weird.

In the end, the disciples of the martial arts hall were also infected with the wind chill one after another, and they couldn't sleep at night, often dreaming, and woke up in a cold sweat.

This kind of strange phenomenon, He Shanyue is also extremely annoyed. So he invited a Taoist priest to do it, and the Taoist priest said that this place became a place of accumulation of yin for no reason. Some ghosts often come to the martial arts hall in the middle of the night to spend the night, but the reason for this is unknown.

As soon as this statement came out, the disciples were terrified. He Shanyue ordered the disciples not to spread the matter to the outside world, so as not to affect the reputation of the martial arts hall.

He Shanyue gave the Taoist priest a large sum of silver taels and asked him to keep it secret. The Taoist priest was originally an outsider, and he only accepted the property he deserved, and told He Shanyue that there must be a good person to resolve this matter, and those wandering spirits and wild ghosts would not hurt people in vain, so that he didn't have to worry too much. After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he stepped on the dust and left.

Having said that, there are often places where lonely souls and wild ghosts haunt, and where can people live in peace for a long time.

The disciples of the martial arts hall have found various reasons to resign and return to their hometowns, He Shanyue had no intention of running the martial arts hall at this time, so he simply dismissed the sect leader and disciples, and each gave ten taels of silver, hoping that they would keep it a secret. In the entire martial arts hall, only two disciples did not leave, that is, the gray-clothed disciple and the blue-clothed disciple who guarded the door before, they both received the great favor of He Mingxian, and hoped to accompany Engong to complete the last journey.

People who practice martial arts already attach great importance to handouts, and this haunted secret has not been passed on.

After that, He Shanyue asked the housekeeper and his subordinates to take his wife to her mother's house. Although his wife was unwilling, she had to accompany her son. But at the strong request of He Shanyue, the head of the family, he had no choice but to leave with tears.

He Shanyue originally planned to take his son to live somewhere else, but that night he dreamed of his daughter-in-law Bai Hibiscus, who said in the dream that He Mingxian must not leave the martial arts hall, as long as he left the martial arts hall for half a step, his life would not be guaranteed.

He Shanyue thought it was just a dream, but he didn't expect it to be this dream for several nights in a row, and in the dream, Bai Hibiscus burst into tears and begged bitterly. He Shanyue often woke up from dreams and knew that this dream was by no means simple, so he gave up the idea of taking his son away.

It's been another three months in the blink of an eye, and today, I finally met Yin Xiaofei and Gao Qi's visit.

Yin Xiaofei listened to the owner's narration, and was very surprised, and was very curious about all kinds of bizarreness in the story.

But Gao Qi on the side is a different picture. His expression, which had been hanging on his face, became very serious at this time, and he stood up unconsciously.

He Shanyue and Yin Xiaofei couldn't help but look at Gao Qi, and Yin Xiaofei asked with some confusion: "Brother Gao, do you have any opinions?" ”

"Ah..... Ah, oh, nothing, nothing, hey, hey, hey. Gao Qi's unfathomable expression just now suddenly turned into a hippie smile, not serious.

Yin Xiaofei didn't pay any attention to Gao Qi anymore, and said to He Shanyue: "Pavilion Master He, you can tell me everything about this matter, which shows your trust in me." Since I, Yin Xiaofei, have learned about this, as long as I can help, I will do my best to help you if you tell me. ”

When He Shanyue heard this, he was very relieved in his heart, and felt that the young man in front of him was the beloved person in the mouth of the Taoist priest. So he nodded and said: "I know that the Guangliu Sword Sect is not only excellent in swordsmanship, but also outstanding in medical skills, I wonder if the young man can prescribe a life-sustaining medicine for my dog?" ”

When Yin Xiaofei heard this, he thought to himself that although he had learned some pharmacology from Lao Wu and had read some medical books and pharmacopoeias in the library pavilion, he had really never tried this treatment of patients, let alone dared to prescribe medicine. I wanted to refuse, but when I saw a trace of expectation on He Shanyue's wrinkled face, I couldn't bear it, so I said, "Pavilion master, how about you let me see Ling Lang first?" ”

He Shanyue nodded again and again and said, "Okay, okay, please come here." ”

So under the leadership of He Shanyue, Yin Xiaofei and Gao Qi moved into the inner hall.

In a spacious living room in the inner hall, on a large mahogany bed with carved dragons and phoenixes, a young man with sunken cheeks lay quietly in the middle, and a light velvet quilt covered his body. The word 'Xi' on the bedtable flew to the side, not completely falling off, looking very desolate and desolate.

The room was full of the smell of herbs, and Yin Xiaofei could smell them, all of them were precious life-sustaining medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

"Shaoxia, this is the dog He Mingxian, he has been lying like this for more than a year." He Shanyue couldn't help but cry as he spoke.

Yin Xiaofei didn't know how to persuade him, so he simply sat down in front of the bed, stretched out his hand to hold He Mingxian's wrist vein, and probed the breath in his body with pure yang sword qi.

Yin Xiaofei was sitting so close to He Mingxian, and he couldn't smell the smell on He Mingxian's body. I didn't meet anyone along the way, and I knew that He Mingxian's eating, drinking, and Lazar should be taken care of by He Shanyue, which is really pitiful for the world's parents. Thinking of this, I have more admiration for the owner of the He Pavilion.

The pure yang sword qi entered the body, and slowly moved forward along the vein of He Mingxian's decay, in Yin Xiaofei's opinion, such a vein was no different from that dead man.

The pure yang sword qi slowly swam, came to He Mingxian's right foot big toe Dadun acupoint, entered the main Yin Liver Meridian, passed through 14 acupoints such as Xingjian, Taichong, and Zhongfeng, and then entered the Du Mai and wandered.

After Yin Xiaofei's sword qi probing, he sensed that He Mingxian was not only a problem with his liver, but that his flesh and bones should have decayed long ago, and as for why he was still alive, he had no way to explain it at all.

Yin Xiaofei collected his sword qi and frowned.

He Shanyue saw that Yin Xiaofei was thinking quietly, and he didn't rush to ask the result, he waited anxiously aside, clasped his hands together, and kept rubbing his fingers.

Gao Qi tilted his head, touched his chin and short beard, pouted and looked at He Mingxian's pale face, shaking his head from time to time, looking a little inexplicably helpless.

Yin Xiaofei exhaled a long breath through his nose, stood up and said to He Shanyue: "Ling Lang's illness is indeed caused by liver disease, but he can miraculously live for so long, what is the reason, forgive the younger generation is only shallow and difficult to diagnose." However, the younger generation can use some medicine and food to make Ling Lang's body more energetic, which may be able to revive him. ”

"Thank you Shaoxia, thank you Shaoxia." When He Shanyue heard that there was medicine to wake up his son, he was so excited that he wanted to kneel down for Yin Xiaofei, because He Mingxian had not woken up since he fell ill.

He Shanyue asked Yin Xiaofei what medicinal materials he needed, and he immediately went to buy them. Yin Xiaofei said that these medicinal materials could not be bought in ordinary pharmacies, and he had to go to the mountains and cliffs to find them himself.

He Shanyue was even more convinced that Yin Xiaofei would definitely be able to come up with a miracle medicine, because if those rare herbs and strange herbs could be bought at any pharmacy, they would not be precious or magical.

He Shanyue saw that it was not early, so he personally settled Yin Xiaofei and Gao Qi in the upper room, Gao Qi said that he was a local, and he didn't have to bother, so he said goodbye to He Shanyue and Yin Xiaofei.

He Shanyue and Yin Xiaofei sent Gao Qi outside the martial arts hall, Gao Qi pulled Yin Xiaofei aside, changed the look of the hippie smile just now, and said in a low voice: "Brother, this martial arts hall is very evil, and it is true that the lonely souls and wild ghosts gather here at night, but there must be a lot of articles in it." And that He Mingxian is already a soul-possessed corpse, and he has long since died. As for why his soul didn't float away from his body or was taken away by a ghost, I'm afraid the article in it is unimaginable for you and me. When you first came out of the rivers and lakes, were you sure that you would risk your life and put on this innocent thing? ”

Yin Xiaofei listened to Gao Qi's words, and felt that Gao Qi was not as useless as he looked. So he said: "My generation practiced martial arts and practiced swords, just to hoe the strong and help the weak, now that I already know the danger of the He family, how can I stand idly by?" I'm in charge of this matter. ”

When Gao Qi heard this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gritted his teeth, and clucked his hands.

He looked at Yin Xiaofei's clear and bright eyes again, so he stomped his feet, walked to He Shanyue on the side, stretched out a big hand with deep palm prints to him, and said loudly: "Give me a tael of silver." ”

"Your Excellency, this is?" He Shanyue was a little confused about Gao Qi's sudden stretch out of his hand to ask for silver, so he looked at Yin Xiaofei.

Yin Xiaofei felt that Gao Qi was not the kind of person who casually extorted money, he must have done so for a reason, so he nodded to He Shanyue.

In fact, don't talk about this tael of silver, even if it is a hundred taels, this He Shanyue also gave it casually.

He Shanyue took out a tael of silver from his arms and put it in Gao Qi's hand. Gao Qi looked at the silver in his hand, but like a piece of meat, he pinched the silver, pointed at He Shanyue with his finger and said, "You, you, you have made a fortune." After saying that, he turned around and walked away. He Shanyue was left alone behind him, looking confused.

Yin Xiaofei wanted to laugh when he saw Gao Qi's strange appearance, but when he thought of the He family's background, he swallowed the smile into his stomach.

That night, Yin Xiaofei stayed in the 'Champion Martial Arts Hall'. He Shanyue personally sent the wine and food to the upper room, and wanted to have a drink and talk with Yin Xiaofei. But Yin Xiaofei said that he wanted to study the medicinal materials that made He Mingxian wake up, and he couldn't drink. He Shanyue didn't bother, and went back to his room to rest.

After Yin Xiaofei had eaten, he began to flip through the book "Divine Diet Details" given to him by Lao Wu, which recorded a large number of recipes, and each recipe was combined with prescriptions to balance the properties of the drug with food, so that it could not only remove side effects, but also maximize the medicinal properties. What's more, it's delicious to eat.

Yin Xiaofei sat under the candlelight, engrossed in reading in detail. He knew that this was a strange book in the world, and he wanted to find a medicinal diet that could cure the illness of a famous and virtuous person.

Time flies quickly, and the long candle is almost burning, and the fire is becoming more bright, which seems to be the so-called return to the light.

"Eh, this is it." Yin Xiaofei looked at the three words written on the yellowed paper with a little excitement, 'Soul Replenishing Soup.' ’

Looking further down, it is recorded in the text: "Replenishing the soul and dispersing it, acting on the body of the great void, and the body that imprisons the soul in the theory of yin and yang is a forbidden medicine." It can make the muscles and bones of the decaying body like a spring breeze and bring the dead back to life. It's just that it can only resurrect the mortal body, but it can't restore the soul, and if the medicine is not careful, it can become an immortal walking corpse, and get rid of the three worlds of people, demons and ghosts, which is an ominous rot.

Soul Replenishing Soup, I have been studying for three years and seven months, using Snow Mountain Jiumei Soup to reconcile and replenish the soul powder, so that its side effects are minimized, mortals drink this soup in small amounts, can reshape the meridians, bones, blood and organs in the body, improve the cultivation qualification in a short period of time, and extend the sword qi cultivation time, it can be described as a Qi Cultivation Divine Soup. ”

Yin Xiaofei saw this, and the soul-possessed body in the Yin-Yang Theory of the Heart Dao was the soul-possessed corpse that Gao Qi said in the daytime. Moreover, this soul-tonifying soup has the effect of reshaping the body, so isn't that exactly in line with He Mingxian's symptoms.

It seems that there is a play.

Continue to look down, the snow mountain nine plum soup is not difficult to make, that is, nine different varieties of plum fruits are boiled in alpine snow water. It's just that the medicinal materials that replenish the soul are extremely difficult to obtain, and among them, the three medicinal materials of ghost cricket wings, Hades grass and Jiaoyan ash are the most rare and difficult to find.

When Yin Xiaofei saw this, he couldn't help frowning, and was thinking about how to find these medicinal materials. Suddenly, the fire brightened brightly, and the whole room went completely dark. It turned out that the candle had been completely extinguished.

At the moment when the candle went out, Yin Xiaofei heard a crackling sound outside the house. It was the sound of water suddenly freezing and then ice breaking.

Yin Xiaofei frowned, knowing that it was the yin qi that attacked, and the lonely souls and wild ghosts came to this martial arts hall again.
