In June, the summer sun is at its hottest.

Ning Lang, who had been on the road for a long time, looked at the front and back, trying to find a place to rest in the shade, but there was no longer even a big tree in the wilderness, and there were only bare hills and dry dirt roads under the scorching sun. If there is a sound that there are people, there may be people who have families, so it is better to go and ask for a glass of water to drink, and then buy some dry food from others, and the stomach is very hungry. Thinking so, his feet followed the sound of the piano.

The sound of the piano was very faint, Ning Lang was worried that before he could find it, the sound was broken, and he immediately performed light work and flew away, but he flew for a long time but did not see anyone. After climbing over a hill, there was a green forest in front of me, and there was a hidden eaves in the forest, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and I immediately swept towards the woods.

At this time, the sound of the piano is clear to the ear, the tune is very simple, but it can be heard with infinite charm, and every few moments there will be a sharp sound of "ding" in the sound of the piano, as if it is in harmony with the sound of the piano, and it seems to want to cut off the sound of the piano, and there is a trace of abruptness in the harmony. Every time Ning Lang listened, his heart felt restless, and he involuntarily mobilized his internal force to resist, who knows, just as he was lucky, the qi and blood in his body suddenly surged, and his ears were ringing and dizzy. Oh no, he was suddenly startled, but he couldn't control his inner breath, and when he was in danger, the sound of the piano suddenly paused, and then a clear voice sounded in his ears: "Calm down, rest your strength." ”

He followed it immediately, and sure enough, the inner breath was no longer churning, the tinnitus and dizziness gradually disappeared, and the piano sound played softly.

"Don't hurt others." The gentle voice sounded faintly, as if admonishing someone.

Ning Lang couldn't help but be even more curious when he listened, at this moment he had completely left his hunger and thirst behind, and only went deep into the woods to see who was playing the piano.

Behind the woods is a bamboo forest, with phoenix tails, verdant and verdant, swaying lightly with the wind, sultry and irritable disappear. The sound of the piano is still clear, and the sharp sound of "ding" is sounded at intervals, but it no longer makes people's hearts beat out of rhythm.

After passing through the bamboo forest, my eyes suddenly lit up.

In front is the mountain wall several zhang high, crawling with green grass and moss, the fine water slowly descends, falls straight down the clear lake, the jade qiong splashes on the lake, the field is covered with green lotus, the white lotus jade stands, a simple and elegant wooden building by the lake, there is a pontoon bridge leading to the lake, there is a corner of the small pavilion hidden in the green lotus white lotus in the center of the lake.

Ning Lang only felt calm and happy when he saw such a place, and all his hunger, thirst and tiredness were swept away. Walk along the lake for a while, then step on the pontoon bridge and walk straight to the center of the lake. Outside to see only the blue lotus clusters, into the only to know that the lake is extremely wide, walked half a cup of tea, the sound of the piano is clear, look up, two men in the small stone pavilion sit opposite each other, a stroke of the qin, a play of the knife.

The person who played the knife turned his back to him, dressed in black, and couldn't see his face, but the back revealed a sense of coldness and loneliness. The person touching the qin is facing him, hanging his head slightly, the green shirt is like a lotus, the eyebrows are elegant, the black hair is half tied on the crown and half hanging on the shoulders, there is no ornament on the whole body, it is plain and pure, and the lotus leaves embrace it, like a fairy.

Ning Lang involuntarily stopped at a distance from him, not daring to disturb, but the man in green shirt who stroked the qin looked up at him, and the fairy-like person had a pair of empty eyes like mist, as if looking through thousands of rivers and mountains, so far away but so deep and moving.

"There is tea and snacks next to you, Your Excellency is at your own convenience." The man in green shirt looked at Ning Lang and smiled slightly, as if he knew Ning Lang's hunger and thirst.

It was this smile that eliminated Ning Lang's awe and nervousness, as if he was seeing his own senior brother, and when he heard this clear voice, he knew that it was the person who helped him solve the crisis just now, and he suddenly felt good in his heart. Looking to the side, there are teapots and cups on the wide bar of the stone pavilion, and there are several plates of dim sum, it's okay not to look at it, I suddenly felt that my throat was smoking, hunger rose, swallowed my saliva, and then looked at the person who was taking care of himself stroking the qin and playing the knife, Ning Lang couldn't care about being polite, walked into the stone pavilion, first poured tea and drank three cups to quench his thirst, and then picked up the dim sum on the plate and ate it, while eating, while looking at the two of them.

They are all very young, about twenty-three or four years old, and at this moment his position can look at the side of the knife player, only to feel that the lines are like knife sharpening, perfect but sharp, with his eyes closed, everything in the world is like dust. But the one who strokes the qin is as easy as playing it with his hands, sometimes fast and sometimes gentle, the empty eyes sometimes glance at the person who plays the knife, and sometimes fall far away to the green lotus and white lotus, a leisurely and leisurely.

"How about a break?" I don't know how long it took, but the man in the green shirt spoke.

Although it was a question, the hand that could play the piano was released, the sound of the piano died down, and the sound of the knife stopped at the same moment.

The man with the knife opened his eyes and looked at the man opposite: "Why can't you fight to your heart's content?" ”

The man in green shirt smiled lightly and said, "You have few opponents, why bother with it." ”

"Humph!" The man in black who played the knife snorted coldly, very dissatisfied, "You are the same as him, but one day I will have to fight the winner clearly." ”

"It turns out that there is another person in this world who you can't do anything about." The man in the green shirt replied casually, taking out a silk silk and wiping the strings.

The man in black reversed his hand, and the knife fell back into the scabbard on his back, "I'm also wondering, how can you and him be the same name, why haven't you known each other until now?" ”

The man in green shirt paused slightly, then looked up and smiled at the man in black, and said, "It turned out to be him." Alas, it is as famous as it has been for many years, but it has always been regretted. ”

There was a faint sneer in the eyes of the man in black, "He said the same thing." ”

"We will meet by fate." The people in green shirts don't care. Turning his head, his empty eyes looked at Ning Lang, and the smile on his face was just right, "Can you use the refreshments well?" "The gentle voice and gentle appearance make people feel like a spring breeze in this hot summer.

Ning Lang's face turned red when he heard this, he stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, son, I'm ...... I was full and it was delicious. "It's really delicious, the tea is cool and fragrant, he has never eaten that dim sum, but he feels that it is more delicious than all the dim sum he has eaten before, I really don't know what it is made of."

The young man in the green shirt glanced at him quietly and said with a slight smile: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be polite. In Xia Ming Huayan, it is the owner here, and this is Lie Chi Feng. Pointing his finger at the man in black on the other side, he hugged his fist again, "I'm really sorry that I almost accidentally injured Your Excellency in the game just now." ”

If the names of Ming Huayan and Lie Chifeng were changed to the people of the rivers and lakes, they would immediately be in awe, but at this moment, they met Ning Lang, who had only done one foolish righteous act when he first entered the rivers and lakes, so he just clenched his fists crampedly, lowered his head slightly, and did not dare to look directly at the son of the man who looked like Qinglian.

"No...... You're welcome, I'm ...... My name is Ning Lang, passing by here, I came when I heard the sound of the piano, I bothered you, I'm sorry, I ...... I'm leaving. After saying that, he turned around and left, only took a step, and suddenly turned around again, "I'm sorry, I haven't paid for your food." As he spoke, he took out the money bag from his arms, thought about it, took out a gold leaf from the bag and handed it to Ming Huayan, "This...... Is it enough? Round eyes looked at him inquiringly.

Ming Huayan was stunned for a moment, looked at the pair of black and white eyes in front of him, and then laughed lightly: "Your Excellency, put it away quickly, it is an honor for Your Excellency to like those crude things, how dare you accept money." ”

"This ...... Not really, right? I ate your stuff for no reason, and it's such a good thing. Ning Lang was very upset in his heart, and handed the gold leaf in his hand forward again, and the black-clothed man Lie Chifeng looked at it as soon as he raised his eyes, and couldn't help but stare at it, and then turned his head to look at Ning Lang.

At that glance, Ning Lang's face was cold, and he only felt that this person's gaze was like a blade, and his person, just sitting there, was also like a treasure knife out of the sheath, with a cold light on his edge, and his hands trembled unconsciously.

"To meet is fate, to see that Your Excellency is also a person from the rivers and lakes, how to talk about these vulgar rites." Ming Huayan raised his finger and gently pushed away the gold leaf in front of him.

"This......" Ning Lang looked at the gold leaf in his hand and then at the immortal-like figure in front of him, and suddenly felt that his move was really blasphemous to him, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, and when he took it back, he felt that he had done too much, as if he was reluctant to pay, and suddenly his face was full of clouds, and he grabbed the gold leaf and handed it over.

Ming Huayan looked at the embarrassed young man in front of him and felt very interesting, it is really rare for people to be so simple-minded on the rivers and lakes.

"Why don't I treat you to dinner next time?" Ning Lang thought about it for a long time and finally came up with a compromise solution, and looked at Ming Huayan very eagerly.

"Okay." Ming Huayan didn't want to agree quickly.

"That's good, that's good." Ning Lang smiled and scratched his head.

"Where did you get this gold leaf?" In the cold diagonal, a voice interjected coldly.

"Huh?" Ning Lang was startled, turned his head to look at Lie Chifeng, followed his gaze and saw the gold leaf in his hand, and replied honestly, "When I was in Yucheng, there was a person named 'Seven Young' who gave it to me. ”

Lie Chifeng's blade-like eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then he looked Ning Lang up and down, shook his head, and seemed to think that it was incredible that a person like him could get the gift of Qi Shao, and said, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? Where to? Do? "On the other hand, the question is still taken for granted, if another person is sure that this person has a bad attitude and bad etiquette, how can he interrogate others like this, I can only be glad that he asked Ning Lang.

"I'm Ning Lang, I'm from Lanzhou, I was going to Yunzhou to look for someone, because I didn't find it, so I looked around." Ning Lang scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassed, "Hmm...... In the past, the brothers said that the rivers and lakes were very fun......"

"Lanzhou? Yunzhou? Lie Chifeng's brows moved, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"My mother asked me to find Lan Yan...... Yin ......" When he said the name, Ning Lang couldn't help but blush again, and his voice was lowered.

Hearing this, Lie Chifeng's brows jumped, and he looked at him again, his eyes fell on the silver spear he was carrying on his shoulder, and then said unhurriedly: "In mid-July, you should be able to see the 'Changtian Mountain Villa' in Huazhou." ”

"Huh?" Ning Lang raised his head suddenly, with a can't help but surprise on his face, "You say...... Lan remnant sound? ”

"Hmm." Lie Chifeng nodded.

"Who is Lan Remnant?" Ming Huayan on the side asked with some curiosity.

Lie Chifeng looked back at Ming Huayan, and ridicule appeared in his eyes again, Ming Huayan suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "'Lan Qishao' is famous in the rivers and lakes, but few people mention 'Lan Remnant', and suddenly I really can't think of it." ”

"This ...... Are you in Huazhou......" Ning Lang jumped up directly without hearing this, and then woke up again, and suddenly lowered his face as if he was burning, "Ming...... Ming Gongzi, Lie Daxia, thank you, I'll go first. After saying that, he hugged his fists and saluted, then looked up at Ming Huayan and then at Lie Chifeng, smiled innocently, and turned to leave.

"Then you better keep the gold leaf and don't use it indiscriminately." Lie Chifeng looked at Ning Lang's back in a hurry and dropped a sentence.

"Huh?" Ning Lang turned his head, and then nodded obediently, "Okay." ”

When Ning Lang walked away, Ming Huayan got up, stretched out his hand to caress a white lotus outside the pavilion, and said with a shallow smile: "He called me 'Ming Gongzi', but he called you 'Liexia', which is really interesting." ”

The wind blows, the green lotus and white lotus all over the lake dance, the faint lotus fragrance spreads with the wind, and the green shirts of the people in the pavilion flutter, as if the immortals born in the lotus.

"Ning Lang, I don't know who he is?" Lie Chifeng was puzzled on the side.

At this time, a flying bird suddenly fell from the sky and landed on Ming Huayan's shoulder, it was a snow-white eagle.

Ming Huayan raised his hand, and the snow eagle landed in his palm, he untied a small bamboo tube from the snow eagle's leg, and then stretched out his hand, and the snow eagle flew away again. Take out a small note from the bamboo tube, unfold it, and look closely, the eyebrows and eyes are quiet, without a trace of waves.

"I'm leaving." Lie Chifeng thought for a long time and didn't think about it, got up, waved his hand, and walked outside the pavilion.

Ming Huayan looked back, with the sad smile on his face, and shook the note in his hand, "'Biyue Venerable' sent 'Biyue Flower' back to Yingshan Shouling Palace with Qing Han." ”

"What's my business?" Lie Chifeng didn't look back, and his feet didn't stop.

"How to say that the abdication of the lord of the martial arts is also a major event in the martial arts, why don't you care so much." Ming Huayan smiled gently and sincerely behind him.

"Not interested." When the last word fell, Lie Chifeng's figure disappeared into the lotus leaves.

"Is the only thing that interests you in this world is a knife?" Ming Huayan said to the empty front.

After a while, he lowered his head and looked at the note in his hand, his empty eyes closed slightly, his lips hooked slightly, a smile was cleaner and more beautiful than the white lotus, and he said lightly: "The people of the Demon Sect are more willful." ”
