Chaoyangzi looked at the past two days, but he felt that the sparrow was a girl with a neat personality, but Lu Rongfeng didn't know how to behave. Chaoyangzi was silent, Chen Nian saw that he was hesitant, took a gold brick from the table to play, and persuaded: "Needless to say, the sparrow is bold and careful, bold and resolute, thinking that the Jizhou officers and soldiers robbed dozens of young girls in Qingfeng Village that day, it was she who fled back to the cottage from the first line of heaven overnight with everyone, and worked hard all the way, but did not leave a companion." As for Uncle Lu, he is an old man in Qingfeng Village, and he has always been stable and reliable, and he has enough experience in the rivers and lakes. You can rely on him to snatch He Ze's ten thousand taels of gold unknowingly, and you can also see that Uncle Lu is not incompetent. ”

Chaoyangzi said at this time: "They can do it, but they still have to ask if their father and daughter are willing to go to Yunxi with me." As soon as they came, you sent them on such a long errand, and there should be no more complaints in your heart. ”

"You can rest assured, Uncle Lu, they are not that kind of people." Chen Nian smiled, threw the gold brick in his hand back on the table, made a clanging sound, thought for a while, and said: "I'll ask Xiao Hou'er to go with you again, his person is the most slippery and fast." ”

The two of them said a few more words, and finalized the people who were going to go to Yunxi with Chaoyangzi to purchase medicinal materials. Chaoyangzi went to prepare for the trip, and Chen Nian called Wen Daya and a few other henchmen to come in, carefully put away the gold, and hid it in the secret room, and then went to find Jing Yuxuan.

Jing Yuxuan heard Chen Nian say the eight-character mantra, and he frowned deeply, and scolded: "The old bald donkeys are too hateful, and they don't say good things clearly, so they have to make a fool of themselves, and wait, when the old lady practices this magic skill, she must write all the essential methods clearly, and throw this bullshit eight-character mantra on the faces of the old bald donkeys,"

Although she scolded to relieve her hatred, she was still troubled in her heart, and recited the eight characters of "concentration, purification, understanding, and clarity" several times, and shouted almost madly: "What does the old bald donkey mean when he says the truth, is it difficult to go to the hair to be a nun,"

Chen Nian looked at her like this, and couldn't help but think about Jing Yuxuan's appearance of knocking on the wooden fish in his hand, and then put Chaoyangzi in a Taoist robe to the side, and he was aroused by the scene he came up with, and hurriedly said: "Master can't make a monk, when you meet a monk who has attained Taoism in the future, just ask him for advice." ”

Jing Yuxuan frowned and was silent, but after a while, he asked, "Hei Lao Dao already suspects that you are following me to practice the Five Aggregates Divine Skill,"

Chen Nian nodded, "The Taoist suddenly came to cut my pulse, which scared me, thanks to the master who taught me how to guard in advance, otherwise I would definitely be exposed." ”

"If he has a way to investigate, I have a way to hide it." Jing Yuxuan showed some smugness on his face, paused for a moment, but said again: "But what he said is right, this divine skill is practiced to the end, if you can't break through the fifth layer, it will indeed flow backwards with qi and blood, and the meridians will explode." I got this exercise eleven years ago, and after practicing it for many years, my qi and blood were already uncontrollable, and it was especially powerful every time I arrived, so I had to temporarily dissipate my internal strength to survive. If you're afraid of death, it's too late to stop. ”

Chen Nian was silent for a moment, but he shook his head slowly, and said, "It took eleven years for a martial arts genius like Master to practice to the last level, and I don't know how many years it will take to change it." For such a long time, you can always find a solution, and even if you can't, it's not too late to dissipate the internal force in the end. ”

Jing Yuxuan said: "When you taste the power of this divine skill, I am afraid that you will be reluctant to disperse all your strength." Besides, if it weren't for the help of the old black way, I would have exhausted my internal strength, and I was afraid that I would have gone mad. There are many risks that you need to think about yourself. ”

Chen Nian said: "Master doesn't need to say it again, I have already thought it through." Rather than being controlled by others everywhere because of poor martial arts, it is better to fight a wanton one. ”

Since she said this, Jing Yuxuan no longer persuaded her, and only explained to her in detail the cultivation method of the Five Aggregates Divine Skill. Chen Nian stayed here in Jing Yuxuan until it was about to dark, and then went back, Lu Xiao had been waiting for her in her house for a long time, and asked her, "Do you want to go to Yunxi with the Taoist?"

Chen Nian replied: "Don't go, I can't leave these many affairs in the village." Besides, I don't know how to use medicinal herbs, so it's a mess to go. ”

Lu Xiao nodded when he heard this, although the expression on his face was still flat, there was already joy in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "That's it." ”

Chen Nian couldn't help but glance at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which one, is it because I can't leave the village, or will I go to Yunxi to cause chaos,"

Lu Xiao hurriedly grinned and said, "Naturally, the village can't leave you." ”

Chen Nian guessed some of Lu Xiao's thoughts, and unconsciously smiled, thought about it, and simply whispered: "Lu Xiao, don't worry, I have it all in my heart." And what I said at that time was not angry, I don't always dwell on the past. She wanted to say that if he had a heart, he would wait for her in front, but it was really difficult to say this, and after a pause, she changed to another word, "I will look forward and live my own life." ”

When she was in Qingzhou that day, she told him that she broke off with Fengjun Yangen, and from then on he married his famous lady, and she also went to marry her man, and the two had nothing to do with it. Lu Xiao also remembered Chen Nian's words, but for some reason, he suddenly had a warm heartbeat, smirked at Chen Nian twice, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, good." ”

He smiled like this, but he didn't know what to say, and the room was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was even more subtlely awkward.

Chen Nian pretended to pour two cups of tea without incident, handed a cup to Lu Xiao, and took a cup to sip slowly, and said to Lu Xiao: "I want to stay until the beginning of spring next year, build some houses in the outer village, and place all the displaced people there." The inner village still has to be cleared out, and idle people are not allowed to enter at will, so as not to let people come in and take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble in the future. ”

Lu Xiao's mind was not here, and he just responded: "Okay." ”

Chen Nian said: "Although there is still some grain stored in the village, but next year we will organize those displaced people who come to join us to open up the wasteland and farm, one is to always collect some grain no matter how much, and the other is to find something to do for everyone, so as not to make trouble." Even the women and children should try to make them spin and weave. ”

Lu Xiao still just nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"There is no trade in the vicinity for us to do, and in the current situation, there are no merchants, even if there are so few, and we can't bear to rob them of their silver. We don't dare to provoke Jizhou and Qingzhou, so we can only get some silver from elsewhere to use. I discussed with Cui Xi and them, if there is a chance, I have to go far away, no matter where it is, it is best to rob some of the Zhang family's property, that is, let them do it, as long as he can't beat Qingzhou, he can't bear us. ”

Lu Xiao nodded again and said, "Okay." ”

Chen Nian saw that his mind was not here, he was a little speechless, paused for a moment, and said, "Lu Xiao, you can go." ”

Lu Xiao responded with "yes" again, and then reacted to the meaning of Chen Nian's words, knowing that she was just an angry sentence, so he smiled and said: "I have everything you said in my heart, no matter where you go then, I will accompany you." He didn't explain much after speaking, he drank the already cold tea in one gulp, stuffed the teacup back into Chen Nian's hand, and really turned around and walked out of the house.

It was already dark outside, and Lu Xiao didn't go far when he saw the sparrow coming towards him, and as soon as he raised his face to take a look at him, he immediately turned around and walked back. Lu Xiao saw the spirit sparrow like this, and he didn't feel very strange, he swept a few steps and chased after it, stopped in front of the spirit sparrow, and said in surprise: "What are you hiding from me when you see me?"

The sparrow's face turned red slightly, and he didn't know whether he was anxious or angry, and retorted: "Where did I hide from you?"

Lu Xiaoqi said: "Then why did you turn around and leave when you saw me?"

"I, I forgot something in the house and want to go back and get it." The sparrow replied.

"Oh, I think I've offended you." Lu Xiao just got what he wanted from Chen Nian, and his heart was full of joy at the moment, and he just wanted to find someone to say a few words. Although the spirit bird is a little short-tempered here, but during the time when Chen Nian was seriously ill, the two of them had watched Chen Nian for seven or eight days and nights together, but they were closer than others. He said, "You forgot something, I'll go with you to get it,"

Although the sparrow hesitated, it did not refuse, and walked slowly towards his residence with Lu Xiao. The sparrow secretly glanced at Lu Xiao twice, saw that he was happy, and couldn't help but say, "How is Chen Nian now?"

Lu Xiao grinned and said, "Very good." ”

When Lingque heard this, she obviously felt that she was very happy for Lu Xiao and Chen Nian, but somehow, her heart seemed to be a little empty, she smiled reluctantly, and said: "That's good, Chen Nian is good, you don't want to bully her in the future." ”

Lu Xiao was puzzled, and said strangely: "Why should I bully her?"

Lingque glared at him angrily, and said angrily: "Anyway, you just remember to treat her well in the future, if you dare to bully her, I can't spare you first,"

Lu Xiao was happy in his heart, he felt pleasing to the eye when he saw everything, and his temper was unexpectedly good, so he just smiled when he heard the words, and responded: "Okay." ”

While speaking, he arrived at the residence of the sparrow, the sparrow asked Lu Xiao to wait outside, he went into the house and walked around, looking for a long time but didn't know what to take, Lu Xiao waited impatiently outside, urged her, and in a panic, he took a gold token from the burden and held it in his hand, and went out.

Lu Xiao asked, "What are you going to do, how can you work hard for half a day?"

The sparrow hurriedly handed him the token in his hand and replied, "This is what my father took from those people when they robbed He Ze gold, I want to show it to Chen Nian to see what it is and whether it is useful." ”

Lu Xiao looked at the token by the moonlight, and said with a smile: "This should be the token of the He family, what are you doing with this, if this thing is discovered, it will cause trouble." ”

"Using gold to make a token, how can they be so generous, or do they say that the token is very effective," the sparrow is a strange way, suddenly had an idea, and asked: "Can't we use this He family's token secretly, now that the Wanjiang River is in the hands of the He family, if we can impersonate their people and buy medicinal materials from Yunxi and come back, wouldn't we be able to go directly to Wanjiang,"

Lu Xiao smiled, pointed to a small number on the token to show the sparrow, and explained: "Look here, the token is numbered, it should represent the identity of the person holding the token, now that the person is dead, the He family must know, you just use it indiscriminately, not only can you not fool them, but also let them know that the gold was robbed by you,"

The sparrow was suspicious and took the token to Chen Nian, who looked at the token carefully, handed it to Cui Xi on the side, and asked, "What do you think?"
