290 The mountain rain is coming
"Concubine Xuan, why are you in Chang'an?!"
Hou Xibai didn't feel frustrated at all because of Concubine Xuan's words, but looked at this beautiful woman who came suddenly, with indescribable relief and joy in his eyes.
The small teahouse was a little dim in the afternoon, with the windows and doors open to the northeast.
But the concubine in plain clothes walked in it, but she was still dazzling, and her fairy appearance made Hou Xibai completely forget what he was going to challenge Meng Xiuyuan just now.
However, when the senior concubine walked to Meng Xiuyuan's side, her breath was chaotic without warning, her face turned pale, and she fell to the ground in a dejected manner.
This incident was so sudden, Hou Xibai could never have imagined that the heir of Cihang Jingzhai, who had superb martial arts and was mysterious, could suddenly be seriously injured.
In addition, Hou Xibai was excited when he saw his concubine, so when he suddenly realized it, he was already half a step slower, and he didn't have time to cross a tea table to support the beauty.
Fortunately, Meng Xiuyuan, who was nearby, reacted in time, waved his sleeve robe lightly, and took the pale face of the concubine to sit on the bench next to him with his strength, so that she didn't really fall down.
Shi Fei Xuan seemed to be really close to the state of running out of oil and lamp, even if she was sitting on the stool, her face was still pale, and she could barely keep her body upright with one hand on the tea table in front of her.
Hou Xibai was very distressed when he saw this, and hurriedly took out a small gourd from his arms, poured tea and water, and thoughtfully sent it to the concubine Xuan and said:
"Why is Concubine Xuan's body so weak, I have this secret healing medicine here, please take two pills and ......"
Seeing this, Concubine Shi only shook her head slightly, and said weakly:
"Brother Hou is considerate and caring, and Concubine Xuan is respectful and ashamed.
It's just that I've just used this Sect Qingfeng Yulu Pill, and in order to avoid the drug, it's really not good to take other kinds of pills......"
Hou Xibai was stunned when he heard this, and then his brows became more and more furrowed, and he asked anxiously towards the senior concubine:
"Breeze Jade Dew...... Isn't this the pill that your disciples are forced to take when they are in an emergency to save their lives?
What kind of thief can be so aggressive, so that the concubine can deal with it?!
As far as I know, according to the conventions of the two realms of Buddhism and demons for many years, Concubine Xuan, as the successor of Cihang Jingzhai, should only be the contemporary heir of the Yin Sect.
If you don't want to lead the two realms of Buddha and Demon to start a full-scale war, others will generally not violate the taboo and meddle rashly.
Could it be that the Yin Sect's Wan Wan is so powerful that she can suppress Concubine Xuan by herself? ”
Shi Fei Xuan did not answer Hou Xibai's series of questions immediately, but rested and recuperated for a while, and only after the internal breath was a little even, did she say softly:
"The one who hurt me is not Wanwan.
Since the last Luoyang incident, Wan Wan has indeed found me and fought with me many times.
However, she always adopted a strategy of fighting and leaving, and did not exert her full strength, thinking that she should find out my details before making the final battle.
Until this morning, Wan Wan reappeared, and the two of us were still evenly matched, but suddenly a masked man came out from the side and attacked me with a heavy hand.
That man's martial arts skills are extremely high, and the timing of his attack is just right, if it weren't for good luck, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape his hands......"
Hou Xibai's face was ugly when he heard this, and he was about to ask about the details again, but he saw that Concubine Xuan had slowly turned her head to look at Meng Xiuyuan, and said softly to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Recently, many masters of the Demon Gate in the world are about to move, and they are all gathering towards this Chang'an City, I am afraid that they are all the means of Meng Gongzi.
Gongzi is really a believer, and he is resolute in eliminating harm for the people, which is really admired by the concubine.
But even if Childe thinks I'm nagging, I have to advise again, Childe must be very careful when dealing with the Demon Gate in the future.
For though I do not know who the man who attacked me today is, I can roughly guess his purpose.
Obviously, someone wants to use my life to muddy the waters in Chang'an City, in order to accomplish something unknown in this chaotic situation.
Although there is no tangible evidence, it can be inferred from the current situation that there is a high probability that someone from the Demon Gate is intervening behind this, and the ultimate goal must be Meng Gongzi and you......"
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this, and what the secret Dao master concubine said was reasonable.
It is by no means a trivial matter for the killer to sneak attack the contemporary heirs of Cihang Jingzhai, even if the Buddhist forces were hit hard because of Meng Xiuyuan's behavior in Luoyang a few days ago, but Cihang Jingzhai has a deep heritage after all.
Whoever it is, it is clear that there must be a very critical goal that is why it is willing to take such a big risk.
However, before Meng Xiuyuan could reply, he saw Hou Xibai stand up from the bench first, and said to him with a firm expression:
"I am a close friend with Concubine Xuan, and what she does on weekdays, I often can't help due to my identity, and I am very ashamed.
But since her life is in danger today, I can't stand idly by no matter what.
No matter who did it, no matter what the purpose is, I must find out......"
While speaking, Hou Xibai actually walked in front of Meng Xiuyuan, leaned over and bowed his head, and bowed deeply to Meng Xiuyuan:
"At this time, there was a storm in Chang'an City, and Concubine Xuan was seriously injured again, and she was in a very dangerous situation.
After thinking about it, I am afraid that only Meng Gongzi, your peerless martial arts, can keep her safe and sound.
So I ask Gongzi Meng to give me a merciful hand, take care of Concubine Xuan before I find out the truth, and take care of her to heal her wounds safely.
This matter is of great importance, and Hebai has thanked him here......"
As he spoke, this dashing and dashing man bent down again, bowed to Meng Xiuyuan again, and was reluctant to get up for a long time, as if waiting for Meng Xiuyuan's answer.
Seeing this, Concubine Xuan frowned slightly, and hurriedly said:
"Brother Hou is serious, even if Concubine Xuan is a little injured, she is not without the power to protect herself.
Your kind concubine understands it, but you don't dare to delay the people of Li and the world because of my little accident.
Meng Gongzi has a heavy responsibility, and he has to deal with many masters of the Demon Gate, how can he have the time to take care of idle affairs......"
Saying that, Concubine Xuan turned to look at Meng Xiuyuan, and wanted to say something more, but when she saw Meng Xiuyuan suddenly smile for some reason, she immediately reached out and helped Hou Xibai up.
"Okay, I promise you."
Meng Xiuyuan spoke for the first time in a long time, but he seemed very refreshing, which surprised the other two.
Hou Xibai looked at Meng Xiuyuan for a moment, and saw that his demeanor was naturally not like a joke, so he immediately felt happy in his heart, and said in response:
"Thank you Meng Gongzi, and there will be thanks in the future."
After saying that, Hou Xibai didn't say anything long-winded, saluted the concubine, shook the folding fan in his hand, and walked out of the teahouse in a chic manner.
At this time, Meng Xiuyuan looked at Hou Xibai's departing back, but Concubine Xuan kept looking at Meng Xiuyuan's side face, and both of them had a lot of thoughts surging in their hearts.
After a while, it was Shi Fei Xuan who broke the silence by speaking first:
"Meng Gongzi, I know that you have never had a good impression of me, why did you promise to take care of me today?
It's because Brother Hou's attitude is too earnest, and it's hard for you to refuse, or ......"
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled, and interrupted halfway through the concubine's words:
"There is no other reason, just because I look at Hou Xibai just now, quite like an old friend of mine.
Although it is still a little less infatuated, the appearance of being willing to risk his life for the sake of beauty is just as funny......
Today, for some reason, I always think of some old things, and I am moved by my heart, and it doesn't hurt to promise him a small favor. ”
The senior concubine heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, and looked at the smile on his face again, and her heart was in a trance for a while.
Since she met Meng Xiuyuan, she has the impression that this Meng Gongzi has always been a righteous and unfathomable hero, and she has never behaved like this.
For a while, Concubine Xuan suddenly felt that the image of Meng Gongzi in front of her was much more vivid, and he was no longer just like the sword fairy of the night at Tianjin Bridge, so high that he was about to reach the moon.
"Meng Gongzi, in your heart, is Concubine Xuan also a friend?"
The moment the question subconsciously blurted out, Concubine Shi Xuan was shocked, and she couldn't understand why she said such a thing.
Meng Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, turned his head and looked at the senior concubine beside him for a moment, but he smiled and did not answer, only stretched out his hand and put his hand on his shoulder, and lost his immortal true qi:
"Miss Shi, please breathe and concentrate on your mind, and heal your wounds with my true qi."
……
Shi Fei Xuan was indeed seriously injured, the meridians in her body were broken, and her true qi collapsed, even with Meng Xiuyuan's immortal true qi at the moment, she couldn't cure it in a short time.
And this teahouse is not a suitable place for healing, so it is just a few days of simple exercises, and after the concubine regains her mobility slightly, the two get up and leave together.
The street was bustling with people, and seeing Meng Xiuyuan and Concubine Xuan, such a pair of dazzling, fairy-like handsome men and women walking side by side, they all watched with great attention, and they were secretly surprised in their hearts.
Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan didn't care, and he didn't take his concubine to avoid it with light skills, but walked along the streets and alleys so openly, and finally the two turned into an inn that looked pretty good.
The information of the Demon Gate is thorough and pervasive, and Meng Xiuyuan feels that there is no need to hide it. He is worried that he has nowhere to look for the traces of those demon gates, and if there is a small night sent to the door, it can be solved easily.
In this way, Meng Xiuyuan and Concubine Xuan had just stayed in the inn for half a day, and someone came to the door.
However, unexpectedly, it was not the Demon Sect demon who came up, but Shi Qingxuan, who had just parted ways with Meng Xiuyuan before.
"When I heard the news of Meng Gongzi, I thought that I should send the Immortal Seal Scroll.
I'm embarrassed to disturb my son, but the things are delivered, and Qing Xuan leaves. ”
Shi Qingxuan's eyes were indifferent, he knocked on Meng Xiuyuan's door and handed over a scroll, and then turned around and left.
"Stone Girl and Slow ......"
Meng Xiuyuan thought about the "shadow assassin" Yang Xuyan and "Fat Jia" An Long that Hou Xibai mentioned to him before that they wanted to be unfavorable to Shi Qingxuan, and hurriedly stopped them.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Shi Qingxuan was the first to interrupt:
"If Meng Gongzi is worried about Qing Xuan and wants to talk about Yang Xuyan and An Long, then there is no need to bother.
I've heard about this too, so I don't have to worry about it.
Bi Xiuxin's daughter, how can she be so easy to be bullied.
Meng Gongzi is busy with affairs, and the master fairy who takes care of Cihang Jingzhai is ......"
Meng Xiuyuan felt a little helpless when he heard this, thought about it for a while, and finally didn't feel at ease, so he deliberately shook his head and said:
"Please delay Miss Shi and stay in this inn for two more days.
Gangsters like Yang Xuyan and An Long are also the targets I want to eradicate on this trip.
With Miss Shi here, I can ask them to send them to the door automatically, which can be regarded as saving me a lot of trouble.
The bento is a favor for me, after they take the bait, how about Miss Shi go back to Shuzhong? ”
Shi Qingxuan stared at Meng Xiuyuan for a long time when she heard this, and finally snorted softly as an answer, then turned around and went downstairs to find the shopkeeper, and opened the third upper room next to Meng Xiuyuan and Concubine Xuan.
……
Since this day, Meng Xiuyuan and the three of them have stayed in this inn for a long time.
Meng Xiuyuan's immortal true qi is full of natural vitality, and it is the world's first-class healing holy relic, but the injury of the concubine is really too serious, and the sword qi refined by the Cihang Sword Dictionary in her body is very special and xenophobic, so the healing process is slightly slow.
Fortunately, Meng Xiuyuan held the volume of "Immortal Seal Method", and while studying martial arts, he healed his concubine's Xuanyun Gong, which was not boring.
As Shi Zhixuan's gatekeeper, this "Immortal Seal Method" is not as far-reaching as the "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa", but it is not without merit, even if Meng Xiuyuan cultivates at this time, he can still benefit from it to some extent.
According to the book, this kung fu is to use the principle of yin and yang to be born together, and the extremes of things must be opposed, flexibly switching between life and death, and transforming the dead qi attacked by others into vitality.
However, in Meng Xiuyuan's view, this statement is a little mysterious, and it is more of a philosophical thought.
Although the "Immortal Seal Method" contains multiple effects such as measuring the enemy with true qi, knowing the enemy, and confusing the enemy, the core idea is still to use strength to turn strength.
The so-called transformation of life and death, in essence, is somewhat similar to the variant of the "Northern Shengong", which can turn the true qi attacked by others into one's own use in the battle, so as to ensure that one's true qi is endless.
This kind of technique is strange and changeable, which is not quite in line with Meng Xiuyuan's fighting style, but the ideological essence of yin and yang transformation and borrowing strength is still worthy of Meng Xiuyuan's reference.
For more than ten days, Meng Xiuyuan has been immersed in the study of the "Immortal Seal Method", and the injuries in the body of the concubine have also been considered to be half better, and the meridians around her body have gradually bridged.
During this period, Shi Fei Xuan has been concentrating on healing and pranayama, and rarely talks to Meng Xiuyuan, until after the end of this day's practice, she suddenly called out to Meng Xiuyuan, who was about to leave, and said:
"Master Meng, you have delayed too much time to heal my wounds.
When I was injured before, I had sent a message to inform the master that the days were counted, and the senior master who helped me was almost there.
I am really grateful to my son for taking care of me these days, and I dare not disturb me any more......"
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled nonchalantly:
"You're welcome, I'm not just here to help you.
The only chance for those demon demons to take the initiative to come to the door is this one, and I originally wanted to delay a little longer, so that they can gather in Chang'an City so that I can catch them all.
And if I just wait like this, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the other party, and it can be regarded as a good excuse to heal you for the teacher......"
Meng Xiuyuan said this, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then the slightly panicked voice of the inn junior came:
"Master Meng, excuse me, there is a noble person who wants to visit you."
"Nobleman, what nobleman?" Meng Xiuyuan asked rhetorically.
"A noble person who is enough to decide the fate of the childe, please also ask the son to appreciate the face......"
A slightly slender voice stood outside the door and spoke in place of Xiao Er.
