Chapter 1: A Guest Comes from Far Away

Next Chapter

Qingxia Gate is built in the continuous mountains at the junction of Qi and Dali and Chu in the south, it is rich in products, treasures are frequent, and the geographical location is also extremely important, under the mountain is a road that communicates the three countries, called Qinghanyong, under the protection of Qingxia Gate, it is safe and sound, so it has become a very prosperous and busy road, the business exchanges of the three countries are close, but it is a small city created in this group of mountains, just under the Qingxia Mountain where Qingxia Gate is located.

Although the sparrow is small, there are still many services provided in this small town, and many merchants who go out rest in the small town, replenish their goods here, and even have a place for trading, where you can buy almost everything from the south to the north. Because this small city is very close to Qingxia Gate, many people simply call it Qingxia City.

There are some small villages outside the small town, the villagers have opened up a lot of land, now the fields are full of green rice, mulberry trees are planted on the ridges, peach trees, apricot trees and pear trees are sporadically planted on the side of the field paths, and now they are blooming, the pink ones are particularly pink and tender, and the white ones are extraordinarily white, and they complement each other, and they are very beautiful.

A farmer sleeps on an old apricot tree with a hat over his face and a jug of wine hanging from the branch.

A group of people rode by the tree, stirring up dust bursts, the peasants on the tree impatiently moved to adjust the sleeping position to continue to sleep, after a while someone passed under the tree, saw a farmer leaning on the tree and sleeping, smiled and said "the folk customs are simple" and continued to hurry, soon two more people came, white clothes, green clothes fluttering, these two people saw the farmers on the tree but showed two smiles, nodded to each other and then approached the old apricot tree.

When I got closer, I smelled a burst of wine, it turned out that the farmer's wine jug was slanted and was flowing out, and the boy in white hurriedly stepped forward to straighten the wine jug, and took the wine stuff that the boy in Tsing Yi found on the ground with one hand and put the lid on the wine jug.

Then the man in white stretched out his hand to push the farmer on the tree, and shouted softly, "Farmer, farmer, wake up!" ”

The peasant in the tree, who had not slept very well, woke up soon after being nudged by someone, sat up from the tree, took off the hat covering his face, and revealed a clean face, which was the shaking light that had come here to rest.

The two people under the tree were frightened, but they didn't expect that the farmer was actually a young boy.

"Excuse me, we're here to ask for directions."

The man in white hurriedly made amends, with a smile on his face.

Shaking the light and turning his head when he heard this, he saw a beautiful face.

The person who came stood under the apricot tree, looked up at her slightly, his face was clean and warm, his facial features were exquisite, and his eyebrows seemed to contain the clouds and mist between the mountains in the distance.

Shaking the light and staggering his gaze, looking at the person next to him, Tsing Yi plus his body, his eyes are always on the boy in white, his hand is not far from the sword, his steps are weak and light, his light skills are good, his swordsmanship is not bad, he should be the guard of the man in white.

Shaking Light moved his gaze back, smiled slightly, jumped down from the tree, flicked the dust on his body, raised his hand to take down the hanging wine jug, glanced at it, showed a smile again, and a crisp voice came out, "Thank you so much for the little boy's effort." ”

She raised the flask in her hand to express her gratitude.

The man in white had to show a more kind smile, indicating that it was okay.

"Where are you going to go?"

"Qingxia Gate"

The young man in Tsing Yi next to him spoke first.

"Qingxiamen, it's still some distance from here, although this is already within the sphere of influence of Qingxiamen." Shake your head and take a sip of wine, "Are you here to attend the meeting?" ”

The boy in Tsing Yi continued to answer, "Yes. ”

Shaoguang glanced at the white-clothed man casually, and smiled heartily, "Okay, I'm about to go back to the mountain now, why don't I take you there, I know a shortcut." ”

This time it was the man in white who replied, "It's so hard." ”

"It's okay, just by the way." Shake the light smiled with satisfaction, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he was very bright.

"I don't know what you call them?" Shake the light asked.

As soon as these words came out, the two hesitated slightly, shook their hearts, and their faces were kind, "I'll report to my family first." ”

Shaoguang smiled and said to the two, "A disciple in Xia Qingxiamen, surnamed Wei Shaoguang." ”

"Brother Wei, in the children of the Jiang family, the family is seventeen, just call me seventeen." The white-clothed boy who called himself Jiang Seventeen was as good as a stream after shaking the light and reporting to his home, and the boy in Tsing Yi also spoke after his master reported his fake name, "Bi Ruo." ”

Hearing this, Shake Light smiled even more, Jiang Qi saw her chic smile, and a strange brilliance flashed in her eyes, as if a good idea was born in an instant.

Of course, Shaoguang didn't see this detail, she just asked funny: "What's your name?" ”

Jiang Qi also smiled back, "Jiang Seventeen"

"This name is made up as soon as it sounds, can't we be honest?"

"Jiang Seventeen is the name."

Looking at Jiang Seventeen, who was particularly calm, Wei Shaoguang expressed his acceptance.

Shaoguang continued to smile and greet the two, and took the two back to Qingxiamen, but secretly complained in his heart: The world is difficult and dangerous, and they are all liars.

Shake Light took them a shortcut, but it was for her.

This is not the road at all, Shaoguang has always relied on light skills to go up and down, all of them should be practicing light skills, in fact, her light skills are very good, few people can compare.

However, now the two behind her are not bad, she originally intended to embarrass the two of them, but she didn't expect these two light skills to be not bad, especially Jiang Seventeen, who is obviously dressed in fine clothes.

After thinking about it, he knew that what he met today was not an ordinary person.

While she quickly tapped continuously among the branches and leaves of the woods with light skills, she thought in her heart, the children of the Jiang family, is it the Jiang family that has a queen in the family?

Claiming to be a disciple of the Jiang family, it seems that it is the particularly rich Jiang family, and the man in Tsing Yi named Bi Ruo must be the guard who grew up with him, no, it is not a simple guard, it should be the person Jiang Seventeen trusts very much.

It is true that the Jiang family has produced a queen, but in the eighth year of Yong'an, the queen was abolished and died, and the queen's maiden Jiang family was also hit hard.

Shaking the light was thinking about things, and the two people over there were not idle, Bi Ruo gestured to Jiang Seventeen.

"Master, this Wei Shaoguang's martial arts are not weak, and his light skills are even more powerful."

"Can you catch up?"

"I guess all the best should be able to catch up."

"No, you can't catch up."

"I can beat him."

"Not necessarily, he's also good at using a sword."

"Master, is he that powerful?"

"Yes, he shouldn't be an ordinary disciple of Qingxia Sect."

"Master, do you want me to try him?"

"No, wait and see."

The two talked slowly in the gestures, and soon, the shaking light in front of them stopped, and Jiang Qiqi also quickly stopped.

"Brother Wei, what's wrong?"

Shaking the light without saying a word, she raised her hand to signal not to speak, and she looked around cautiously, and three silver needles quietly slipped from her right hand.

Bi Ruo hurriedly stopped speaking and exchanged glances with Jiang Seventeen.

Shake Light now smells of blood in his nostrils, and someone is fighting here.

Shaoguang put away the silver needle in his hand, turned around and threw Jiang Seventeen two pills, and then gently explained: "Follow me." ”

As soon as the words fell, the light went up a tree, and the footsteps could rise more and more with a light touch on the branches and leaves, and in an instant, the figure was already a few meters away, and it was really like a swallow.

Jiang Qiqi sighed and glanced down at the pills lying in his hand, swallowed one of them without hesitation, and threw the other one to Bi Ruo, "Barrier Breaking Pill." ”

Bi Ruo stretched out his hand and took it and filled it in his mouth, "Master, how many times have I said it, I want to eat something first!" ”

"It's okay, I know." Jiang Qiqi stepped up to keep up with the shaking light in front, "Don't be so rigid all the time." ”

"You know, you know again!" Bi Ruoxiao complained and followed Jiang Seventeen.

"Bi Ruo, it smells of blood." Jiang Qiqi interrupted Bi Ruo's complaint.

Bi Ruo stopped the dissatisfaction in his mouth and replied to his master, "I know that Wei Shaoguang suddenly stopped just now because he smelled blood. And with a roll of the eye.

Jiang Seventeen, who received the white eyes of his own guard, smiled slightly and said, "I know." ”

Bi Ruo: "......"

"Master, let's not say those three words for the time being, I have a toothache."

"Okay"

The shaking light in front is not only good for light work, but also good for ears, and listens to the conversation between them.

Then, Jiang Qiqi heard a light laugh, gently, with a good mood, he couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself, this is a good day.

After more than a dozen breaths, Shaoguang took Jiang Seventeen and them into the mist of Qingxia Mountain.

This mist is said to be the fog drawn by the Qingxia tourists when they waved their hands when they attained the Tao and ascended to immortals, and it lingered on the mountainside all the year round, and the fog was extremely thick. However, Shake Light scoffs at this legend, fog, isn't that the thing, because of the geographical conditions, climatic conditions or something, Qingxia Mountain here is the root of the special geographical conditions, humid climate, and this area is full of trees, so that the fog can not be dispersed all year round.

Perhaps, there is still a miasma in this fog, so ah, the barrier-breaking pill given by the master is still useful, and it is very friendly to his own respiratory tract.

Ah, Shaoguang often thinks depressedly, is he crossing or is he reincarnated and forgot to drink Meng Po soup? I grew from a baby to fourteen and a half years old, learning the culture and etiquette here, but my head has memories of my past life in the modern age, ......?

Alas, I still don't want to think about it, it doesn't make much practical sense.

Shake the light and hurry forward to think about some messy things in his head, but these thoughts are only for a moment, and he still has to focus on the two people behind him.

The road was very smooth, and after shaking a cup of tea, he flashed out of the thick fog, and after two breaths, what appeared in front of him was the gate of Qingxia Gate hidden by the dense forest, and there was also the famous thousand-step step.

Shaoguang stopped in the open space in front of the gate, and Jiang Seventeen and Bi Ruo followed closely and stopped.

"Brother Jiang, Qingxia Gate has arrived." Shaoguang turned to Jiang Qiqi and arched his hand slightly, and then said, "Brother Jiang brought his name card to Qingxia Gate, and there will be people to receive him, Wei still has responsibilities, so it is inconvenient to accompany Brother Jiang to hand over the name sticker, and look at Haihan." ”

Jiang Qiqi hurriedly returned a salute, smiling and shaking back, "Brother Lao Wei has led the way, and I am grateful." Then, he took off a jade pendant from his waist, and then held the jade pendant with both hands, and said to Shaoguang, "This is a jade pendant that I wear by my side all the year round, as a thank you gift, I hope that Brother Wei will not dislike it, and I will prepare a generous gift in the future to thank Brother Wei for leading the way today." ”

Shaoguang looked at the jade pendant with a dumb face, "Brother Jiang, I know your intentions, but this gift is too precious for me to accept." And there is no need to thank you again in the future, it is all a trivial matter, so why worry about it. ”

"Brother Wei doesn't have to be humble, today the next two people came to Qingxiamen, without Brother Wei's guidance, I'm afraid I will have to arrive tomorrow." Jiang Qiqi said the reason seriously, insisted on his opinion, and was personable and thoughtful, which made Shaoguang have a headache.

"Really, Brother Jiang, it's a matter of the way for me to show you the way, why worry about this little thing!" It's really a headache to shake the light, where does anyone insist on giving you a gift?

"So be it." Jiang Qiqi planned to take a step back, "Brother Wei will accept this jade pendant today as a token, and prepare another thin gift in the future, Brother Wei will return this jade pendant to me when the time comes?" ”

Shaoguang looked at Jiang Seventeen suspiciously, still hesitating.

Jiang Seventeen had to continue, "Let's come to the Qing Meeting, we will stay for a while, since Brother Wei is a disciple of Qingxiamen, then we will definitely meet again in the future, why don't you promise to help you do one thing when we meet again, Brother Wei will return the jade pendant to me at that time?" ”

Shaking Light thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll take it first."

Jiang Qiqi raised his hands slightly, and watched with a smile on his face as Shaoguang took the jade pendant from his hand.

And Shaoguang always felt that he seemed to have fallen into some kind of trap, but he didn't have a clue now, so he ignored it first, and after saying goodbye to Jiang Qiqi and the two, he walked lightly and returned to Qingzhu Hall from another direction.

Jiang Qiqi and Bi Ruo walked slowly up the thousand-step steps.
