In the early morning of the next day, the gate of the Yin Sha Sect was guarded by the mountain.

Ji Yanliu walked ahead, and Xia Fanxing paced slowly, following her. In the early hours of the morning, the sect was basically empty, and the disciples were either meditating and cultivating in their caves, or they were exhausted after a night of double cultivation and remedy, and collapsed on the bed to meet Zhou Gong.

Ji Yanliu stood on the edge of the mountain gate, surrounded by morning fog. Xia Fanxing approached and said softly, "Have you remembered everything the Immortal Master told you? You're not afraid of men outside, right?"

"Hey, what my master commanded, do you still need to say it?Man, if men are all obedient big dogs like Xia Lang, what is there to be afraid of?" Ji Yanliu winked at Xia Fanxing - he was lying on her that day and licking her twin peaks hungrily, which made him completely fall into such a not very nice nickname.

He walked straight to Ji Yanliu, showed a wicked smile, and stretched out his hand to pinch her face, "If you dare to call me that again, do you want other men to break the ban below you?"

"If there is a Lang Jun who suits my heart, why can't it? Like you, you know the conspiracy and tricks to bully others. Ji Yanliu said with a smile, Xia Fanxing's hand was already touching her body, and in response, she also gently swayed her graceful figure.

If other disciples saw this scene, they would probably be half shocked to death. The two now look like a couple in love.

At the moment before parting, Xia Fanxing didn't know whether this ambiguous feeling was true or false.

"Xia Lang, why haven't you ever mentioned your parents?" Snuggling in Xia Fanxing's arms, Ji Yanliu suddenly asked abruptly.

"They... Maybe you can meet it on this trip. Xia Fanxing looked up from her face and replied with a smile.

His parents had only heard a few words from Master Xinheng. I don't know if my father is alive or dead now.

He shouldn't have been surnamed Xia, Xia was his uncle's surname. His biological father heard from his master that he had been in power in the court more than 20 years ago. But who it was, Xinheng Daoist kept silent, and he didn't tell Xia Fanxing what his real surname was. As for his mother, he had never heard of it mentioned by the master.

"Are they from Chang'an?" asked Ji Yanliu.

"I've been living in the Tu Feng Sect for as long as I can remember, and I've been following Master since I was a child. But he rarely mentions my parents. I only know that my biological father seems to have some status in the Xuanzong court. I didn't have any ideas for so long, and Master was just like my father. Xia Fanxing replied. After speaking, he leaned his face closer to Ji Yanliu's cherry mouth.

Ji Yanliu pushed him away with a smile and said, "Someone is coming, don't..."

"Well... By the way, the person that the Immortal Master asked me to visit, I heard her say that you have seen it?" Xia Fanxing raised his face reluctantly and asked.

"A blind ranger... He is very indifferent, I have only met once in the master's bedroom, and I dare not approach him. ”

Xia Fanxing's heart moved, blind, ranger, how do you feel that you have heard of it a little? Who could this person be?

While sneering, he thought: The ranger who can have a relationship with Hua Rongyu, although he is a mortal, must have a lot of ability. It's possible that I've heard it by accident.

Xia Fanxing looked around, but except for the misty morning mist, he didn't see anyone at all. smiled slightly, pounced on Ji Yanliu's body again, and put his mouth on her lips dishonestly. lingered for a long time before the two slowly separated.

"Why should the martial arts meeting of the Tang Dynasty be held on the winter solstice? can't it be earlier?" Ji Yanliu said complainingly.

A martial arts meeting will be held every two years in Chang'an City, and the original scale was very small, only a few people who practiced martial arts from non-monastic sects on the rivers and lakes came to participate, and the gold content was also very low. A few years ago, An Lushan took Shi Siming into Beijing to face the saint, and on the day of the winter solstice, Shi Siming, the soldiers and horses of Pinglu, happened to meet this conference. On a whim, he participated in this martial arts meeting, passed five levels and killed six generals, but was finally defeated in the hands of a deaf and dumb ranger. The deaf-mute ranger left a deep impression on him and An Lushan, and felt that this martial arts club was a bit of a success.

Two years later, the two brothers came to Chang'an City again to participate in the martial arts meeting. An Lushan is obese, and his martial arts are far inferior to Shi Siming. But Shi Siming was defeated again at the hands of a one-armed ranger this time, and it was a complete defeat... This made the two brothers even more jaw-dropping.

Later, An Lushan recognized Yang Guifei as his mother, and won the favor of Xuanzong. On an occasion, he made a proposal to His Majesty the Emperor, suggesting that he could pay attention to the martial arts in Chang'an City and the rangers in the city. You can make the scale of the martial arts meeting bigger and gather the world's most skilled samurai to participate.

The aging Xuanzong did not have any doubts about An Lushan, so he listened to his advice, and on the winter solstice of that year, the holy driver personally visited a corner of the West City that was calmly carrying out the martial arts meeting.

The scene suddenly became extremely lively. However, this time Shi Siming and An Lushan didn't even enter the top ten, and it was another ranger who won the first place, but he didn't have a left hand. Among the remaining nine, there are also four disabled rangers. The strength of this session is far greater than that of previous sessions.

Xuanzong was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Yang Guozhong to focus on supporting and vigorously promoting the martial arts in Chang'an City. He also sent the eunuch to the people to win over the seven disabled rangers, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful.

However, the reputation of the Tang Wuhui has spread, and His Majesty has personally publicized it, and the weight has suddenly become heavier. In the next few years, there were more and more people, and it seemed to have become the first martial arts event in Datang.

It's just that although there are many martial arts heroes who stand out in each session, those seven rangers have never appeared again. Not to mention that every year a disabled ranger won the first place, as was the case before.

So... Xia Fanxing thought a little about it—the person he was going to visit was also a disabled ranger, but he was a blind man.

The itinerary arranged by Hua Rongyu for him was to stay in Chang'an City for more than a month, and then return to the sect when the Yongmei Secret Realm was closed. However, on the day of the winter solstice, I had to go out of the sect and go to Chang'an City with Ji Yanliu. She said that she would tell Xia Fanxing what she was going to do at that time. As for what excuse to come out, Hua Rongyu said that he didn't need to worry, she could naturally arrange it.

"Xia Lang?" Ji Yanliu shook his hand.

Only then did he realize that he had been silent for a long time. "It should be that martial artists pay attention to masculinity, and there is a saying that the winter solstice is a yangsheng, so let's ask for a lottery. ”

"Alas, if only it had been sooner..."Ji Yanliu's sparkling eyes were full of affection.

"If you miss me, you can come out at any time. Xia Fanxing put his hand on her face and said with a smile.

"Hmm... People are still a little scared..."

Seeing this, Xia Fanxing said, "When I settle down there, I will write a letter to tell you the address immediately." If you want to leave the sect, write a letter back, and I'll come here to pick you up. ”

Ji Yanliu rubbed his face against his hand, "Then you must be careful all the way... Settle down early. Maybe I'll be like a monk tomorrow, and you'll have to pick me up!"

"I'm as always available as I can, haha!"

After that, Xia Fanxing's expression became calm, and he stretched out his hand to caress the fine jade silk in front of Ji Yanliu's forehead, and said, "When I was in prison that day, I asked you a few questions, and there was one sentence, but I never said it. ”

The smile on Ji Yanliu's face froze for a moment, sighed, and gently rested his head on Xia Fanxing's shoulder, "I know what it is." ”

"Huh. At that time, I only asked you if anyone had instructed you and me to do that pose. But you didn't ask, from the beginning, you suddenly became like that, and took the initiative to come to me to do these things, what did you mean?

Ji Yanliu said softly: "If you want to know, I'll say." ”

"No, listen to what I think first. First of all, Elder Li and Immortal Master Hua must have hinted at this matter. Smoke willow, you know that every girl is actually the same. Deep down, I still yearn for a relationship with a man. Don't be in a hurry to refute me just yet. Like those senior sisters and sisters in your sect, double cultivation and supplementation is not a long-term way after all.

But the rules of the Yin Sha Sect are there, they can suppress their true thoughts in their hearts, and act as if they are very happy. But you can't, because your master is Huaxian Master, and under her influence for a long time, you should know what you think in your heart. Don't be afraid, this feeling is right. ”

Ji Yanliu raised her head and looked into Xia Fanxing's eyes. She didn't see disdain or disdain in his eyes, but a deep tenderness and distress.

"I feel sorry for you. The reason why you did this before may not be entirely their will. You yourself, in fact, want to do this, want to really understand, from the body to the heart to understand a man, right? And I, for some reason, happened to meet the requirements of Hua Xianshi, so she hinted again, finally you dare to do this.

Don't worry, I definitely didn't look down on you because of this, I just felt very heartache, a good girl like you, only now did she find what she really wanted in her heart, and she was bound by the concept of the sect. From the outsider's point of view, you may be a watery poplar, but in my opinion, you are just a poor girl. ”

Xia Fanxing hugged Ji Yanliu tightly and said gently, "However, it's okay now." With me by your side, everything will get better and better..."

......

In the evening, Xia Fanxing walked in an alley in Andingfang, holding the address given to him by Hua Rongyu in his hand, a little at a loss.

It took him half a day to rush from the Yin Sha Sect east of Chang'an City to the destination of this trip, Andingfang in the northwest of Chang'an City. It took another half an afternoon, all the way down to such an alley, where all the nearby houses were deserted, except for two tattered couplets pasted in front of the door of a stone house.

Andingfang was originally a densely populated and prosperous workshop among the 100 and 8 squares in the Tang Dynasty. But the neighborhood is almost uninhabited. Xia Fanxing approached the stone house suspiciously and knocked on the door, but no one answered. After a quarter of an hour, no one came back.

It occurred to me that rangers are rarely at home, and may only come back at night. Instead of waiting here, why not go out and take a few steps around here?

Walking out of the alley, the scenery outside is completely different from the inside. There are not a few pedestrians coming and going on the other street. But what he didn't notice was that when passers-by saw him walk out of the alley, they all cast surprised and surprised looks.

There are many shops on both sides of the side street, and Xia Fanxing was attracted by a brightly lit jewelry store with the words "Jade Zhai" written on it. Before leaving, Hua Rongyu prepared three bags of silver ingots for him, which were full of them, so that he should not be stingy with money. Thinking of this, a burst of warmth flowed in Xia Fanxing's heart, no matter what the purpose was, Hua Rongyu was still very good to him. It may be that he has not been accompanied by his mother since he was a child, and he cherishes this warmth from female elders.

"This... Dao Chief: Kunshan Meiyu produced in the Western Regions, let's take a look?" A rather immature voice sounded a little nervously.

The store was unexpectedly large, surrounded by cabinets, which were placed in wooden, iron, and silver cabinets according to the rarity of the jewelry. It should be that the guys in the store have gone out to eat, leaving such a teenage apprentice to watch the store. Xia Fanxing smiled and said, "Please take a string of bracelets for me to see." ”

Kunshan jade, from the Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions, is known as the four famous jade of the Tang Dynasty together with Lantian jade, Dushan jade and Xiuyu in the market. Its health and health effects are particularly obvious. The jade is slightly cold, and it has the effect of cooling the body and mind for a long time.

"What does the Taoist think? The villain thinks that this bracelet can be given to the woman in love, and it should look good. ”

Xia Fanxing couldn't help laughing, he thought the same thing. "It's really pretty... You're smart!"

The white and chubby boy was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Thank you for your compliment, thank you for your compliment! Why don't you take this one with you?"

Xia Fanxing looked at him excitedly and incoherently, unlike those old fritters, who felt funny and relaxed. said: "Don't worry, find a few more pairs of this style for me to pick." ”

The boy smiled, his chubby face almost squeezing his eyes out. "Okay, wait a minute, my lord!"

After a quarter of an hour of selection, Xia Fanxing took a fancy to two pairs of Kunshan jade bracelets. One is cyan, and will be given to Ji Yanliu in the future, and the other is white, which is intended to be given to Senior Sister Hou Ying after returning to the sect, and they can be regarded as senior sisters and brothers who have shared hardships in life and death. Hou Ying took a lot of care of him in the secret realm and the Yin Demon Sect in the past few days, and Xia Fanxing wanted to surprise her when she returned.

The white fat boy saw Xia Fanxing holding these two bracelets in his hand and playing with them for a while, the more he laughed, the happier he became, and when he saw Xia Fanxing turn his head, he immediately grabbed respectfully and said: "Dao Chief, this pair is fifty taels of silver, two pairs of one hundred taels, look..."

"I heard others say that the easiest way to identify this Kunshan jade is to carve it with a knife, and the traces carved are fake, and the real Kunshan jade cannot be carved. Poor Dao let's use the palm as a blade, first try the authenticity of this jade. ”

Xia Fanxing said naturally, but the child's face changed suddenly. He scratched his head, scratched his nose, and finally blushed and said, "Dao Chief, this... Isn't that right?"

Xia Fanxing wondered, "What's wrong? If this is a fake jade, do you want me to suffer this dumb loss?"

The boy looked embarrassed, but fortunately, there was only one customer in the store, Xia Fanxing. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Dao Chief, my store doesn't have this rule... After all, you haven't bought it yet, you can't... Carved casually. And my store has never sold fakes, don't you believe to ask the customers who have been to this whole Willow Leaf Lane..."

This made Xia Fanxing unhappy, didn't this shopkeeper openly bully people? He stood up suddenly, and the boy's face turned pale with fright. "Where is such a reason? You don't want to deceive me into not knowing your jade business! This silver bag in my hand has one hundred and twenty taels of silver. Today, see for yourself whether you want to make this money! Give me an appraisal, if it's genuine, you will take one hundred and twenty taels!"

"That's... Can you change the way of identification, for example, what kind of illumination or something? We are all poor people, if we are really carved..."

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Xia Fanxing's eyes widened, do you mean these are really fakes?

The boy was sweating like rain, and said tremblingly: "Master Dao, don't be angry... Not what you think... I, I'm just an apprentice, I really don't dare to promise you casually... And our Jade Zhai has always had a good reputation in Willow Leaf Lane, or you will identify it after you buy it, and come back to me to return it!"

Why is this person so strange? Xia Fanxing felt an inexplicable stubbornness in his heart, he just didn't do it!

"What you said, don't you have a ghost in your heart? Daoye, I won't do it! If you don't sell it to me, don't want to do it today!"

The freshness of entering the world for the first time, Xia Fanxing looked at the embarrassed appearance of the white fat boy, and felt a little funny in his heart.

Suddenly, a hand behind him gently touched his shoulder. Xia Fanxing turned his head and saw that it was a middle-aged man who was about the same height as himself. Wrapped in a big turban, his eyes were wrapped in it, and it looked very strange. The hand was thin and withered, with almost nothing left of bone. He wears black clothes and pants all over. His heart suddenly moved.

"This... Hero, could you please wait a moment?" the boy had a headache when he saw another person coming in, and said quickly.

"Can you use it, carve it with the palm of your hand?"

The man's tone was calm, but his voice was very nice and concise.

Without waiting for the other two to speak, the man continued: "In the world's martial arts, if you only practice your mind and neglect your form, you can also be enlightened. ”

"For example, if you hit a palm, if you really understand the meaning of this palm in your heart, you will know how powerful this palm is, what consequences this palm will bring, and even whether this palm should be hit or not! The highest state is what this palm is!"

"It doesn't even have to be a shape. ”

"If I want to use my palm as a blade, I will test this jade void and reality. Then if you have the palm of your hand, you can stop. Just like this, my heart knows what this palm means, so I know that this jade is genuine, and so is that piece!"

Xia Fanxing raised his head suddenly.
