In midsummer and August, lotus leaves take over the sky.

Beyond the delicate color of the hibiscus, you can vaguely see a corner of the wooden boat, and the boy in the boat picks the lotus canopy.

"Tianhe is slanted, and people bite water chestnuts. ”

"Tianhe Langhuan, people eat new rice. ”

Children's songs are lively and clear, and they are not touched by the world, but there are many people in the world who sit at the table and talk loudly, but they may not be as clear as these nursery rhymes.

Lu Qiming retracted his gaze, put down the bamboo curtain again, and looked at the person opposite with a smile: "Shaoqiu is right, this is really a good place." ”

The name here is casual, for the word "cool air", in the realm of the gods, but no longer in the Taoist courtyard, but a small city a little north, Shengze.

"Enjoying the Coolness" was originally a guest house for a friend of Chu Shaoqiu's family, and only occasionally invited confidants to come for a small gathering. However, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and there are more and more admiring people, and it is difficult to refuse through friends. Those who come always leave valuable gifts, but it is better to clearly mark the price. After a long time, this place had to become a serious tea wine garden.

It's just that "serious management" is also comparative. I can't bear the careless nature of the owner here, this cool is still very idle, and whether to open the door always depends on the mood.

Chu Shaoqiu said with a smile: "I have long wanted to bring the two of you over to enjoy it, but this time is really rare." ”

Princess Anlan snorted coldly and said, "The two of us have been sparring partners for you for so long, and we didn't know about the treat until we were about to leave, so we were embarrassed to say it." ”

Chu Shaoqiu had no choice but to smile bitterly and even say "wronged".

In the blink of an eye, it was August, and there were only more than a month left before the opening of the ancient battlefield, and there was also an appointment with Qin Yuefeng's Yunxi Festival. Counting the drive, it's time to leave in the past two days. This time, Lu Qiming and Long Anlan came to the Divine Domain, and it was a small gathering and a small farewell.

Lu Qiming looked at the two of them and teased, and said, "Although it is a goodbye, our trip back and forth will only be three months at most, and we will see each other soon." ”

Chu Shaoqiu nodded and smiled, "Yes." "For practitioners of their realm, three months is just a retreat.

Hearing Lu Qiming's words, Long Anlan suddenly fell silent and looked out the window in a daze.

The bamboo curtain is delicately woven, and when it is hung down, although outsiders cannot look into the house, the people in the house can still vaguely see the verdant landscape.

Lu Qiming asked softly, "An Lan?"

The woman came back to her senses for a long time and smiled slightly: "After the ancient battlefield, I will go directly back to the clan." ”

Lu Qiming and Chu Shaoqiu glanced at each other and nodded silently.

The three of them have been together for several months, and Lu Qiming has never concealed it, so Chu Shaoqiu already knows Long Anlan's purpose for coming to Zhongzhou. Now that the goal has been achieved, as a dragon princess, it is impossible for her to really stay in Middle-earth for a long time.

Someone outside knocked on the door, and Chu Shaoqiu chuckled, "This is here." ”

There were three delicate maids in pale cyan dresses holding bamboo and wooden trays in their hands, and there was no sound between the walking movements. They bowed their heads and bowed, and then gently placed a white porcelain rectangular plate and cups in front of the three people in the banquet.

The maid closest to them smiled and said, "Please, morning dew wine." He immediately saluted and retreated.

Three glazed vessels are juxtaposed on a white porcelain rectangular plate. On the left is an ice drink cup, on the right is a cup of turquoise and clear "morning dew wine", and the central cup is only for framing - a "landscape landscape" made of miniature stone and bamboo, during which the white mist is ethereal, as if a fairy mountain is included in this glass cup.

"Please. As he spoke, Chu Shaoqiu lifted his cup first and gently poured it into the ice cup on the left.

Long Anlan poured himself a cup in the same way, shook his head and said, "You human race, even eating and drinking are so troublesome. ”

"Shaoqiu doesn't quit drinking today...... Huh?" Lu Qiming's joke was only half of it. He shook the cold cup slightly and said with a smile: "It turned out to be tea." ”

"Exactly. Chu Shaoqiu explained with a smile: "The reason why it is named 'Morning Dew Wine' is because the water source is taken from a spring called 'Sangluo', which is full of spiritual energy, and mortals can get drunk like drinking alcohol. At the same time, 'Sangluo' is also a kind of wine name, so this 'morning dew tea' is taken as 'morning dew wine'. ”

Lu Qiming nodded, but Long Anlan couldn't help but continue to shake his head and sigh "You human race". They couldn't help but smile when they looked at each other.

Chu Shaoqiu took a sip of tea, then put down the cup, and said softly: "I haven't had time to ask—in the past two months, have you made any progress in Qiming?"

If this question came from Chu Shaoqiu's mouth, it would be the way of the sword.

It has been another two months since the selection of the quota for the admission of the ancient battlefield by the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Academy has come to an end. For the students who were not selected, they naturally resumed their usual daily classes, and as for the small part that was recognized by the Martial Arts Academy as having the ability to enter the ancient battlefield for training, the Martial Arts Academy had other special training arrangements - it was the past two months.

Originally, Lu Qiming could be idle, but since he taught Gu Zhiyang the sword technique "Frost Residence", he has preliminarily demonstrated the possibility of "reshaping the sword path through the master's way". After the quota battle, Lu Qiming invited himself to join the list of special training instructors, but this time he was no longer a medical teacher, but taught kendo, so as to further verify the feasibility of this path.

Now that the two months are full, I don't know what the result will be?

"At the moment, it's easier than I thought before. Lu Qiming bowed his head and said, "In the previous speculation, I am afraid that the conditions for getting feedback from others are harsh and difficult to achieve widely. But after practice, as long as it is sword cultivation, seven out of ten can succeed. ”

"That's how it should be. Chu Shaoqiu was not surprised, and said, "With your sword path height, wouldn't it be too easy to guide the sword cultivation of Zhongzhou? ”

Long Anlan said, "Then how many people can you use now?"

"It's close to twenty. Lu Qiming didn't make a detailed calculation, shook his head and said, "But to be honest, their kendo is still relatively basic. If it were against the enemy in real combat, I wouldn't use those. ”

"After all, the level of Zhongzhou is too low, and the help to you is negligible. Chu Shaoqiu sighed.

Long Anlan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and said, "Speaking of which, Qiming taught you the most, why can't he use your sword path?"

Speaking of this, Chu Shaoqiu was embarrassed. He said depressedly: "I don't know either!" He naturally really admired Lu Qiming, and the two were also teachers and friends, but ......

Lu Qiming smiled and said: "I didn't say this a long time ago, there will only be two reasons - either it is limited by cultivation, or it is the particularity of Shaoqiu's own kendo 'gathering the strengths of all families'." ”

Long Anlan: "Hmph!"

Chu Shaoqiu smiled bitterly.

"Having said that, don't talk about me, how many sword cultivators in the world can match Qiming?" Chu Shaoqiu said again: "So the most important question is - is this path a new sword path rebuilt, or is it helpful to restore the original one?"

Lu Qiming said: "I can't see it yet. Maybe I can only find a chance to try it in God's Domain in the future. ”

"I think so. Chu Shaoqiu nodded in agreement and said seriously: "Say it when you need my help." ”

"You're welcome. Lu Qiming smiled slightly, and then asked, "Shaoqiu, I heard that you are going to enter the Golden Tree?"

......
