After leaving Jingzhou City, Gu Xu and Xue Nu continued to rush west.

First passed through Yuzhou, and then came to Jianmen.

Here are heavy mountains and mountains, high mountains and dangerous roads, and there is no land below.

One of the three major sects of the Great Wilderness, the Shudi Sword Pavilion, is located on the top of the mountains here.

"If nothing else, Shi Xiaohan has now come to the Sword Pavilion to practice swordsmanship!" Gu Xu stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the buildings looming in the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, and thought silently in his heart.

The Snow Maiden didn't know what was going on in his mind.

She just followed him, quietly looking around.

She has read countless magnificent poems describing the hardships of Shu Road in books. But it was only now that she was able to witness the majestic scenery with her own eyes.

Summer has arrived.

The peach blossoms on the slopes of Sword Pavilion have all withered, and among the bright green grasses, there are broken and withered fallen flowers.

When she was still a human being, seeing such a scene, she would always feel sentimental in her heart, feeling that beautiful things would eventually fall apart and cease to exist.

But now, in her mind, the half-word that Gu Xu wrote in the Lu Mansion suddenly appeared: "If you ask Luoying where she goes, she will be more spring mud in the coming year." When the warm breeze blows, I see the flowers red and willow green. ”

Then I thought of the poems written by Gu Xu on the top of Yishan Mountain describing the snow scene.

She silently thought to herself: Childe can always look at everything in the world from a different perspective.

…………

Meanwhile.

On the hillside of the Sword Pavilion, two young female monks, one with a sword and the other with a sword, were practicing martial arts.

One of them was tall and thin, dressed in a linen shirt, and his long hair was tied high behind his head with a wooden hairpin. Its eyes are sharp and its temperament is awe-inspiring, giving people the feeling of a long sword out of its sheath.

This person's name is Chang Xiao, he is a Fourth Realm cultivator, who studied under the elder of the Sword Pavilion, Cai Shu'an, and has outstanding kendo talent among the younger generation of disciples of the Sword Pavilion.

The other is petite and delicate, dressed in a pale pink Luo skirt, with dark black hair tied into a fallen horse bun, and a face as pretty and lovely as a peach blossom in spring.

In her hand, she held a machete that was extremely disproportionate to her size.

——It was Shi Xiaohan who was invited by the pavilion master Xu Man to come to the Sword Pavilion to practice swordsmanship.

"Hurry up, hurry up," Chang Xiao pointed in a stern tone as he shot his sword at Shi Xiaohan like a storm, "Your sword skills are very powerful, but the speed of dodging is not fast enough. If it was in actual combat, it would have been poked into a sieve by the enemy a long time ago. ”

Shi Xiaohan retreated again and again, and hurriedly blocked.

The Kungo knife seemed to be a wide shield in her hand.

But Chang Xiao's sword is as treacherous as a snake, as fast as thunder and lightning, and can always find Shi Xiaohan's flaws, which makes it difficult for her to deal with.

About an hour later, Chang Xiao finally put down the sword in his hand and said, "Let's rest for a while." ”

Shi Xiaohan let out a long sigh of relief.

She had been waiting for Chang Xiao's words for a long time

She threw the Kunwu knife aside, sat down on the grass next to her, and then stretched out, lying in a "big" shape without a lady's image.

Chang Xiao sat on a big rock and looked down at the sweaty girl.

"Senior Sister Shi, has anyone in the sect bullied you and gossiped about you recently?"

"Nope." Shi Xiaohan shook his head without thinking and replied.

"Really?"

Shi Xiaohan bit his lip and said "um".

When she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but dodge, not wanting Senior Sister Chang Xiao to know that she was lying.

Most of the disciples of the Sword Pavilion are very easy to get along with, but some gossip is always inevitable.

There are always people who say in person or in private that she has a bad eye for finding men, and she once made a marriage contract with a traitorous thief.

Some people also ridiculed that Gu Xu was not emotional, and he didn't take his wife with him when he rebelled, but now that the matter is exposed, he has slipped away and ignored his wife.

These words made Shi Xiaohan very angry.

When others scolded her, she could barely bear it; When others say bad things about Gu Xu, she can't stand it.

So she drew her kunwu knife and pointed at the gossiping people, wanting to duel them.

Duels are won and lost.

Because of the presence of the elders of the sect, it was basically the end of the order.

However, Shi Xiaohan's anger did not return Gu Xu's innocence, but confirmed his reputation as a ruthless, unrighteous and unrighteous man - he himself was nowhere to be found, leaving only the infatuated woman to stand up for him silently.

"Why don't you tell me, what kind of person Gu Xu is?"

Chang Xiao caught Shi Xiaohan's stubborn gaze in his weak heart.

She didn't continue to ask, but changed the subject.

Speaking of Gu Xu, Shi Xiaohan was very energetic.

She sat up straight like a little sparrow, chattering non-stop—

Gu Xu solved the case in Yishui County, Gu Xu dealt with the empty Xuansan people on Yishan Mountain, Gu Xu made a big show in the Lantern Festival Ring Competition, and Gu Xu showed his magic skills in the rune competition......

Talking endlessly, like a few treasures.

"Senior Sister Chang, Gu Xu can never be a traitor and traitor," at the end of the speech, Shi Xiaohan looked firm and said seriously word by word, "He must have been wronged." ”

Chang Xiao looked at her and did not respond immediately.

The girl in front of her obviously didn't realize what she meant by what she said.

The arrest of Gu Xu was an order personally issued by Emperor Tianxing.

Shi Xiaohan's "Gu Xu was wronged" is equivalent to "the emperor's judgment is wrong".

Of course, Chang Xiao understands very well that a little girl with a lover in her heart often speaks with no brain.

She sighed softly and patted the girl's shoulder: "Practice for another half an hour, let's have lunch." ”

………

If you want to ask Shi Xiaohan what he doesn't like the most about Sword Pavilion, then it must be the food here.

The patriarch of the Sword Pavilion once said: "Since the world is not peaceful, how can we be comfortable and happy? ”

Under his influence, the entire Sword Pavilion, from elders to ordinary disciples, all had a frugal style.

They wore cloth shirts, lived in grass huts, and ate coarse tea and light rice.

A rich lady like Shi Xiaohan, who has been eating and drinking spicy food since she was a child, is naturally very unaccustomed.

At this moment, she was holding a faint taste of green vegetables and rice, sitting next to the Hanging Spring Waterfall, and Shensi had already flown to the Piaoxiang Building in Yishui County.

Compared with now, the days when I ate flower chicken with Gu Xu were as beautiful as becoming immortals.

At this time, a miscellaneous member of the sect carried a hemp bag and hurriedly came to Shi Xiaohan's face.

"Miss Shi, someone came from outside the sect and asked me to hand over this bag of things to you." The handyman put the sack in front of Shi Xiaohan and said.

Shi Xiaohan was a little puzzled.

Because lately my father didn't write to her that something was sent to her.

Who sent this bag of things?

With curiosity, Shi Xiaohan opened the sack and found that it contained Jingzhou's characteristic fish cakes, pot helmets, steamed pork, pine chicken, grilled fish, spicy chicken, bean curd, and barbecue skewers from Yuzhou......

The food was sealed in real yuan, and it was not only fresh and delicious, but it was still steaming hot, as if it had just been baked.

Shi Xiaohan blinked, and a possibility popped up in his heart.
