Volume 1 The Knife Rises from Qingzhou Chapter 11 Choosing a Name

"Shhhh It's so cold, it's autumn, I'm freezing to death!" Lin Erdan shivered with his arms in his arms.

The restaurant was empty, because the door was closed by the wayward proprietress of Huayun.

On such a cold day, what kind of business is it, how good it is to drink!

Luo Buyi glanced at Lin Erdan, who was wearing a cotton jacket and a quilt, and gently sipped the wine glass in his hand.

The black knife was unsealed, and Hua Ning's twin swords were placed on another table.

Hua Ning sat on the left hand side of the state lord, holding the arm of the state lord and dangling it, sprinkling coquettish wine and drinking.

"No, you can't drink this wine, if you want to drink it, just drink it on the table." The voice was cold, no longer weird and hoarse.

Hua Ning pouted, those on the table were all ordinary rice wine, what she wanted to drink was the pot of eighteen brews in her sister's hand, and she didn't know why Sister Hua favored one over the other, so she just gave it to her sister.

"Don't squeeze me!" Hongying, who was also wearing a quilt, was angry, and glared at Lin Erdan angrily.

"Who squeezed you? A bench is such a big place, who made you fat!"

The little girl who is not too tall is less than eighty pounds.

"Ahh

smashed twice, listening to Lin Erdan's screams, Hongying suddenly felt very relieved, if it wasn't for her master who deceived her a little, she would definitely beat Lin Erdan into a pig's head.

"Miss Ying'er played well, but he was lucky to fool Xiaohong, otherwise he deserved to be a bachelor for the rest of his life!"

Here Hongying and Lin Erdan were playing and making trouble, without delaying Lao Zhang's head to serve the food, and the hot dishes were placed on the table after a while, and finally the copper pot was put on the tandoor charcoal fire, and Lao Zhangtou stood behind Hua Yun with his hands behind his back.

Hua Ning and Lord Governor glanced at the old man, who was more like a guard than in the back kitchen, and focused their eyes on the copper pot in the middle of the table.

The copper pot is not much exquisite, and the surface is left with a hammer mark of casting, but it is better than the rich and tangy soup base in the copper pot, most of which are common in the accessories, but the layer of red oil floating on the surface, as expected, should be produced in Xizhou's chili pepper, this thing, which is not common in the state capital, and then put in the favorite vegetables, vegetables, and meat slices after the soup base is boiled, which is extremely delicious. And this way of eating is called shabu-shabu, and it comes from Bingzhou, although their sisters have heard of it, but in the Qinghua Palace of the state capital, they have never had the opportunity to eat it.

It's really out of place in the palace.

"It's a pity that it's too far away from Jeju, otherwise you can get some things from the sea to try. A certain proprietress put extremely thin slices of meat, extremely fresh vegetables and the like into the copper pot, without the slightest concern about what would be exposed, and said with a big grin.

Hua Ning was very happy, it's good to have delicious food, it's almost almost good to drink, as for the sea or something, she doesn't care about it for the time being.

The lord of the state thinks more deeply than Hua Ning, and the proprietress behaves like this, on the one hand, it is a way of hospitality, and on the other hand, why not be honest with them, showing that she has connections in various states. This is not an easy task, because the five states have a vast territory, and cross-state matters are widely implicated, and there will be big disturbances at every turn.

"Don't you tremble, okay? Isn't it deliberate?" Hongying is going to fight with Lin Erdan again.

"Don't, it's cold, it's really cold, didn't you notice that you're shivering yourself?" Lin Erdan was about to die.

Hongying is not an unreasonable person, and the whole person is not good after realizing that she is also trembling, which is too unladylike!

The master and Luo Buyi are not afraid of the cold, after all, they have cultivation, and the proprietress of Huayun and Lao Zhangtou are not afraid of the cold, so they can bear it; but why is the delicate lady not afraid of the cold, and only wears a long shirt?

"Ning'er, have you thought of a name?" asked the state lord, she naturally knew that this cold was affected by Hua Ning's twin swords.

Hua Ning cupped her cheeks, pouted, and said, "Not yet." ”

got up suddenly, ran to Luo Buyi on the opposite side with chopsticks in his arms, sat down on the stool and leaned over and asked:

"Luo Buyi, have you thought of a name for your black knife?"

Luo Buyi put down the wine glass that he had been sipping for a long time, looked at the little head beside him, smiled, and said, "Not yet." ”

As soon as Hua Ning wanted to say that she had named the black knife, she heard Lin Erdan howling there: "It's called Black Loach, it's not black." ”

But no, although she returned the black knife to Luo Buyi, the black knife was still nominally a token he gave her, so she shouldn't call it a black loach.

Fortunately, everyone rolled their eyes and ignored him.

"Songxi Heishui has new dragon eggs, and Guidong has old horse teeth. How about calling it Heishui?" Hongying had read some poetry books, and it was much stronger than Lin Erdan's black loach, and the face that was only exposed in the quilt was full of pride.

"This is good, Ying'er is amazing!" Hua Ning clapped her hands.

The red tassel, who was praised was even more proud, and her head couldn't stop dangling.

"Then I said it's called black soil! It's not much different from black water!" Lin Erdan was not convinced.

"It's far from it! If you don't have knowledge, don't pretend to understand, according to what you mean, is it called a black cloud and a black fish?"

"That's right, what's wrong? Luo Gongzi didn't say no!" Lin Erdan said with a stiff neck.

"Miss, Uncle, look at him!"

Uncle?

Hua Yun raised her eyebrows and looked at the state lord with a smile.

Sure enough, the Lord stopped his glass, but he didn't know what his expression was through the veil.

Hongying was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out, and she didn't know why, she couldn't control her emotions in front of Lin Erdan.

Hua Ning didn't notice her sister's movements, and said to Luo Buyi with a red face: "What name do you like? Otherwise, how about calling it Ning Hua Knife?" Hua Ning Ning Hua, giving you this knife is also worthy of its name. ”

"yes, that's a nice name. Luo Buyi's eyebrows were gentle.

However......

With a "snap", the wine glass in the hand of the state lord was crushed.

Luo Buyi and Hua Ning were taken aback, what's wrong?

Two stupid children, don't you see that the governor is eating his sister's vinegar?

But the lord of this state really dotes on his sister.

But who isn't a sister yet!

"In my opinion, you can't choose a name for the black knife, it depends on the origin of the black knife. "What's the matter, it's still the old lady and I'll give you a ride.

A serious flower rhyme proprietress is rare, so everyone gave enough face, looked at her, and looked forward to her saying something.

The proprietress of Huayun was also rarely high-spirited, and said: "The cultivators of the world, the martial artists are self-cultivation, and the Xuanmen cultivates the gods, and the weapons they use have their own differences, and the four grades of heaven and earth Xuanhuang are all different." ”

These state lords naturally knew, but seeing that Luo Buyi and Hua Ning were quite interested, they didn't interrupt Hua Yun, hoping that she could say something she didn't know, after all, Hua Yun was an out-and-out prefecture-level master, and her cultivation was probably still above herself.

"Those who do not enter the stream are like ordinary swords, and they can be used without cultivation, and those who enter the grade are called divine soldiers. Divine soldiers, weapons are also miraculous. It is sharp, or heavy, or can drive away evil spirits, or can summon ghosts, only by different materials, it is a yellow-level divine soldier; Xuan-level divine soldiers not only have the characteristics of yellow-level divine soldiers, but also because of the moment of forging into the formation can absorb the aura of heaven and earth to operate, if it is consistent with the exercises, or break iron like mud, or drive water and fire, or lead thunder and tear the earth, turn the unthinkable into possible, you know that the Tibetan Sword Villa is quite good at the way of the Xuanhuang Divine Soldiers; and the ground-level divine soldiers, itself contains a trace of the rules of heaven and earth, it is extremely difficult to become a material, all of them are the spirit of Zhong Tiandi, the essence of the sun and the moon, after the opportunity is born, it has been formed without forging, and the natural power is incomparable, and it is often contained in ordinary objects。 ”

Speaking of this, Hua Yun threw a melon seed into her mouth and asked the state lord: "In-laws, why is the Qinghua Lotus Lantern of your family called Qinghua Lotus Lantern?"

The governor automatically ignored the word "in-laws" in his words, and his tone was a little puzzled: "I see that in the heart of its flowers, there is the word Qinghua on the lotus canopy, but it has something to do with it?"

"This is for sure, but I don't know how to choose the word "Qinghua". Hua Yun spread his hands.

"You!"

There was a "snap", and another glass shattered.

"Don't worry!" Hua Yun didn't want to be self-defeating and get burned.

"Since ancient times, famous swords and swords have all kinds of heavy weapons, or engraved with inscriptions, or recorded in documents, in order to show their names. The proprietress of Huayun touched her chin and pretended to be Mr. Teaching.

"But how can a ground-level divine soldier be named by ordinary means? A ground-level divine soldier can be formed without forging it, because it is born and raised, and the avenue is beautiful, so some of the earth-level divine soldiers already have a unique name when they are born, and no one can change it; there are also some divine soldiers whose owners can accept them according to their characteristics, so that they can be named. With a name, the divine soldier will be more spiritual, and naturally he will not waste his own breath. ”

Hua Yun paused and explained, "I thought that the state lord knew the origin of the Qinghua Lotus Lantern, so I asked this question. ”

Seeing Hua Yun's patient explanation, the state lord was already relieved. She was recognized by Qinghua Lotus Lantern, and even broke through to the prefecture level, but at that time, her grandfather and father had disappeared, and she had no way of knowing such a secret.

"Why do you have to ask the divine soldier to accept it, can't it take a name if it doesn't accept it?" Lin Erdan tried to open his eyes wide to show that he was surprised.

He was not angry with Lin Erdan Huayun: "Do you think that the ground-level divine soldier is a radish and cabbage?" The ground-level divine soldier is spiritual, and if you don't discuss it well, you won't recognize it if you give it a name. ”

"Don't admit it, what's wrong? I won't delay me from eating it if I call it a cabbage!" Lin Erdan was a lot bolder, and dared to talk back to Hua Yun.

Fortunately, Hua Yun ignored him, rolled her eyes and continued: "The ground-level divine soldier will choose the master when he is born, although he can reveal a little miracle after recognizing the master, but only by communicating with his mind can the divine soldier exert his true power." And the only way to connect with his mind is to choose a name. Take a name that satisfies you and satisfies the Divine Soldier. ”

"As for those divine soldiers with their own names, they are all arrogant guys, there are only three in this world, and I suspect that your family's Qinghua Lotus Lantern is one of them. ”

Of course, the power of his own lotus lantern lord knows that the land of the five states can be ranked in the top three, if the name of the lotus lamp is innate, it means that the natural name of the divine soldier is much stronger than the divine soldier with his own name.

"So I propose, Brother Buyi, you can ask your two masters, if you can know the origin of this black knife, you will definitely be able to choose a good name for this black knife, maybe, it already has a name!" Hua Yun looked at Luo Buyi with a smile, and his hands were staggered on his chin.

Luo Buyi glanced at Hua Yun heavily, and couldn't read anything from her eyes, so he had to nod and say, "Got it, sister." ”

"And you, Ning'er. The proprietress of Huayun learned the name of the state lord and said, "You also have to communicate with the divine soldiers, these divine soldiers are unusual." "The divine weapons that can affect the celestial climate are all first-class powerful, and more importantly, the sudden heavy snow in Qingyu City is not a good thing.

Hua Ning nodded as if she didn't understand.

The lord of the state agreed with Hua Yun's statement, but he remained quiet, but unfortunately he was not born famous.

It's just that I don't know what strange the black knife of Na Luo Bu is.

The soup base in the copper pot is just boiling, making a "gurgling" sound.

"Ah, eat the meat slices first, I heard that the meat slices are not delicious when they are cooked!" Hua Ning picked up the chopsticks and rummaged through the copper pot for the meat slices.

"There is!" first put a piece in his bowl, rolled his eyes, and then put a piece into Luo Buyi's bowl, looked up and noticed everyone's eyes, especially his sister's gradually clenched fingers, blushing and sandwiching another piece for the state lord, and smirked.

The Lord put down his hand that was holding the wine glass, picked up the slices of meat with his chopsticks, and put them into his mouth from under the black veil. Yes, it's delicious, especially in this cold, it has a different flavor.

The proprietress of Huayun was glad that she could save a wine glass, and beckoned Lao Zhangtou to sit beside her, but Lao Zhangtou waved his hand.

Hua Ning's big eyes narrowed into a slit, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all.

Out of the corner of his eye, he found that Luo Buyi was staring at him and seemed to be smiling, and said angrily: "You eat it too!"

He filled Luo Buyi with wine and persuaded, "Drink!"

Luo Buyi couldn't help but laugh, picked up the wine glass and learned to drink it all, even if he was really poor in drinking.

Seeing this, everyone smiled helplessly, poured wine, poured wine, and ate vegetables, only the governor didn't know what to think with his wine glass.

"Eat...... Drink it......" Hua Ning's crisp voice echoed on the second floor.

The residents of Qingyu City were caught off guard by the heavy snow, but fortunately, the city lord showed compassion for the people and ordered the garrison of the city to send cotton clothes and bedding to the poor and lonely widows in the city, so that they could survive the heavy snow in peace.

It is said that this sunny and rainy city is also the first time in fifteen years to snow, on weekdays it is either sunny or rainy, the people finally see this snow, really happy, have to hold oil paper umbrellas, or wear clothes, to the street to watch the snow.

In the eyes of the people in the city, Fulin House is an alternative restaurant, not to mention the crooked signboard, the door of the store is still open from time to time, and the restaurant is not used to make money? Today, on the first snow in the past 15 years, I have not seen anyone in the restaurant come up on the street, but even the little eyes of Sun Xiaohong, who always revolves around the granddaughter of Grandma Sun who sells cloth on weekdays, did not show up, so it is really unusual.

The snow scene in Qingzhou does not have the legendary goose feather snow like Bingzhou, but it also has its own charm when it is like catkins.

And in the wind and snow to say goodbye, at this time it seems a little poetic, such as "the road out of the cold clouds, people return to the twilight snow", such as "thousands of miles of yellow clouds and daylight, the north wind blows geese and snow", the ancient sages can always make the parting more wonderful, it seems that in this way, the sorrow will be lighter.

It was almost evening, and the sky was even darker, and the streets were empty at this time, so I am afraid that I had already gone home for dinner.

"......Squeak" snowed, and the wooden door was inevitably subject to some moisture.

"Bang", with a soft sound, a red oil-paper umbrella was propped up.

"Master, you are at your feet. Hongying held the umbrella, her face flushed, swaying, trying to stand firm.

The state lord gently stepped over the threshold, and the little beauty in his arms seemed to feel the coldness outside the house, and pasted it on the state lord.

Hua Yun and Lao Zhangtou followed outside the door, handed Hua Ning's pair of white short swords to the state lord, and said, "You really want to leave?"

"Hmm. The state lord was just about to catch the short sword with his free hand, when he saw that the pair of short swords spun around and landed on Hua Ning's body, and Hua Ning was hugged tightly.

"Oops!"

But it was Hongying's feet that slipped and fell to the ground, and the umbrella was thrown aside.

How can you let the master get drenched in the snow! Without waiting for Hua Yun to step forward to pull her, she quickly got up and put the umbrella up again, but her face was even redder.

Fortunately, not even a single snowflake fell on the state lord's body, it seemed that the snowflakes were blown aside by the wind, and even Hua Ning's body was clean.

"In-laws, you left and took Ning'er away, what should you do if you let my brother wake up?" Hua Yun rubbed her forehead with a headache, her brother was unconscious after only drinking five glasses of wine, and when he woke up, he was no longer in the field, what should he do?

Hua Ning was much better than Luo Buyi's amount of alcohol, but after more than a dozen glasses, he finally fell drunk on the table.

"They are still young, and it is best to be calm and calm for a while. She didn't want her dearest sister to be hurt emotionally, and it was very necessary for them to recognize their feelings.

"What's more...", he seemed to raise his eyes and glanced at the young man on the table on the second floor from the crack in the door, and said, "What's more, his cultivation is too low, and he has a heavy treasure in his body, how can he protect himself if he is in danger? Not to mention Hua Ning?"

"Is it a crime to cherish Biqi?" the proprietress of Huayun knew this ancient allusion.

The man in his arms twisted again, muttering, "Eat... Drink..."

The eyes under the veil of the state lord softened a little, and he said slowly: "I have no objection to them being together, but there are always people in this world who are well fed, and Hua Ning must not receive any harm." ”

"Don't worry, it's not easy for us, how can my brother be a mortal? The proprietress of Huayun tried her best to praise her newly recognized brother, and her posture was a little more serious than that of Liu Matchmaker, who was the best at matching newcomers in the city.

The state lord was noncommittal, but felt that Hua Yun should not be a person who spoke up, and her confident appearance also added a bit of reliability to her words. Turning his head to Hongying, he said, "Grab my arm." ”

Red Silk pushed her arm through the crook of the Lord's arm in disbelief, oh my God! I can't believe it, and when I go back, tell the other mothers-in-law to envy them!

Hua Yun took the wine jar that Lao Zhang Tou held in his hand from behind, stuffed it to Hongying, and said: "This is the remaining half of the eighteen brews that you drink from your in-laws, if you miss me after you go back, you can drink two glasses." Blinked, and gave the governor a coquettish look.

The state lord secretly gritted his teeth and shouted, "Go!"

I saw a bronze lotus lantern slowly floating from the forehead of the state lord, lifting a black veil, levitating above the state lord's head, casting a cyan light.

"Miss's umbrella!" Hongying held the wine jar in one hand and the arm of the governor in the other, but the red paper umbrella was dropped on the snow.

It's just that she can't take care of it at this time, because under the cyan light, the figures of her and the state lord are getting fader and fainter, and even Hua Ning in the arms of the state lord is the same.

"Within three years, let that stinky boy come to find Hua Ning!" the state lord left a sentence, and slowly disappeared with the blue light.

Hua Yun picked up her handkerchief and sighed at the glimpse just now, she was really a fairy-like woman, it's a pity.

There was a red paper umbrella on the ground, the wind and snow stopped suddenly, and only one sentence was left in the air: "Eat... Drink... Luo Buyi..."

The snow in the city has just stopped, but not a single snowflake has fallen outside the city, and it is still cool in the summer.

Looking back at that small city, Jia Han and Shang Shang were full of emotion, fifteen years of anticipation were finally fulfilled, and the days to come have just begun, but the two younger brothers, I can't invite you to eat roast meat anymore!

The two of them hurried towards the west, their steps firm.

In the sunny and rainy city, the lights are dotted, like stars at night, lined with snow, picturesque.

It's just that some things are starting to change after all.
