Chapter 29: Xu Ying Comes to the Door
In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since Chu He went to Yangjiabao.
Due to the sword test with the eldest lady, Chu He didn't have time to catch Yang Miaomiao, but it wasn't a big deal. Even her backer knelt, how much storm could she set off as a mortal who had simply cultivated?
So after returning to Golden Bird Peak, Chu He didn't pay attention to the things over there, but hid in his own cave to recuperate, and at the same time digested the experience of this trip.
At this time, it was early in the morning, and a girl in yellow came to the front of Chu He Cave Mansion.
Originally, as Chu He, there should be some waiting boys outside his cave mansion, but on the Golden Agenet Peak, Chu He was alone, and he had been buried in his head for more than a month, so he had no time to make up for these things.
The girl in yellow looked at the gloomy cave mansion and frowned slightly. Although she didn't know why that person wanted to make the cave mansion look like this, she had a task to go to Longtan Tiger's Den again.
At this time, the sky was not bright, but it was already completely bright, and the girl in yellow was embarrassed to draw the fire, so she could only walk inside in the dark.
One step, two steps, the girl in yellow slowly stepped in, and there was no light in the dark cave. The girl had already regretted it a little, and she was sure that the darkness was not a natural formation, but a deliberate act by the man.
Of course, it is impossible for the other party to predict his arrival in advance, and it will not be deliberately aimed at himself.
The girl's steps became slower and slower, as if she was affected by the strange atmosphere in the cave, and her heart became entangled little by little. There seems to be some kind of means of suppressing perception in the cave, just like the shadow forest at night, and the girl's spiritual sense has no effect, so she can only walk forward by the faint light.
When the girl in yellow gradually walked into the depths of the cave, a vague figure finally appeared in front of her. The girl, who was greatly relieved, did not notice that the other party was standing still, holding the scabbard with her left hand and holding the hilt of the sword with her right hand.
"Chu ......"
As soon as the girl spat out a word, the voice was like some kind of incantation, and the figure that had been like a stone statue came to life immediately.
"Huh!"
The figure instantly drew his sword, and a little red light rose from the pitch-black cave, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the eyes of the girl in yellow. The terrifying pressure of the sword made her breathless, and the scorching heat that was rapidly approaching made her hair stand on end, and she subconsciously reached out to touch her sword.
How fast is sword drawing?
The girl in yellow demonstrated this point with her own experience. Even in a highly tense situation, the speed at which she drew her sword was still far less than the speed at which the opponent drew her sword. If this is a life-and-death fight, then she doesn't even have a chance to use the sword.
"Miss Xu Ying?"
Just as the girl in yellow looked desperate and her eyes were closed, a voice with a slight surprise reawakened her consciousness.
Xu Ying cautiously opened her eyes, only to see a fiery red sword hanging from the center of her eyebrows, so steady that she didn't tremble at all. Its owner, who was the target of her trip, was standing in front of him in a strange posture with his sword in one hand, his right foot arched and stepped forward.
Chu He slowly put away the Chuyang Sword, and instead of looking at Xu Ying, who was sluggish, he sighed secretly.
At the beginning, he boasted about Haikou, saying that he would realize a sword intent within two months, but now I am afraid that it will not be completed. The sword drawing technique of the early sun has been practiced quite proficiently, but that sword intent has never been formed...... Chu He Zhilu said, this is one of the missing opportunities, for a beginner like him, the comprehension of sword intent is a very accidental thing.
In the past month or so, Lingxu Zhenren has also come to his side several times and gave him some guidance on his cultivation. What made Chu He helpless was that when he came over for the third time, the Lingxu Zhenren successfully swung the Chuyang Sword Intent in the form of a sword drawing technique.
This proves that the judgment of the Lingxu Zhenren is not wrong, and Chu He has never realized the sword intent...... That only shows that he is stupid.
However, Chu He also knew that he was not comparable to the Lingxu real person at all. The sword intent itself should not have any attributes, it belongs to a personal perception, but when you get started, you need to use all kinds of sword tricks to understand, and there will be a variety of different sword intents.
But in the final analysis, the sword intent has nothing to do with the sword technique, it's just that when the monk uses the sword intent, he will unconsciously bring some meaning attributes. In other words, a sufficiently strong sword intent can be completely transformed to simulate a relatively weak sword intent, and this sword intent is still real without any discount.
Although this theory is complicated, it is in line with people's common sense, that is, a master of swordsmanship to practice other swordsmanship, and the progress is naturally faster than that of a rookie. It's just a change of swordsmanship to sword intent.
While Chu He's thoughts were spinning, his hands were not idle, and he waved his hand to disperse the prohibition, and the sunlight outside the cave mansion suddenly reflected in. Xu Ying noticed that the moment the sun shone in, Chu He seemed to have suddenly thought of something, quickly walked to the table, and put away a letter.
The well-educated Xu Ying recognized it at a glance, and the marks of the Chu family were clearly drawn on it, and even a glimpse of it made her sweep some keywords.
The Sword Book of the World...... Zhongzhou ...... Miss Yue......
After a while, Xu Ying, who was dressed in yellow, came back to his senses, stepped forward and saluted slightly: "I've seen Senior Brother Chu." ”
Xu Ying is one year younger than Xu Wanqing, although she started earlier because of Xu Luoxi, but the relationship between the family and the family cannot be completely in accordance with the sect after all. What's more, judging from the situation of the two at this time, Xu Ying still thinks that it is better for her junior sister.
Facing Xu Ying, Chu He didn't take it too seriously, and only said after greeting him in a proper manner: "What is the matter with Senior Sister?"
Seeing that Chu He didn't deliberately make things difficult, Xu Ying also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said what he meant. It is nothing more than an apology for the matter of Tianji Peak, and in addition, this matter is purely a misunderstanding, I hope Chu He and Xu Wanqing can reconcile.
During the trip to Yangjiabao, Chu He and the three of them did not publicize it to the outside world, because Xu Ying did not know that the relationship between the two of them had improved.
"Senior Sister Xu rest assured, Chu is not a stubborn and dull person, and naturally knows that Lu Dao was just a misunderstanding at the beginning. After listening to Xu Ying's words, Chu He smiled and waved his hand and said, "The Chu and Xu families have been friends for generations, how can they break off their relationship because of this kind of thing." ”
"Hey?" Xu Ying looked at Chu He in a daze, obviously the other party's words made her stunned.
had long expected Xu Ying's reaction, Chu He just smiled and said nothing, quietly waiting for the other party to speak.
Chu He knew better than anyone that if he wanted to truly gain a foothold in Golden Bird Peak, he could not offend the Xu family to death, at least he had to maintain a superficial friendship. And Xu Ying's arrival made him see the hope of really befriending Lu.
In the final analysis, he and the Xu family don't have much grudge, and the biggest point of conflict is Xu Wanqing. To be honest, it was not Xu Wanqing who came this time, but Xu Ying, which also surprised Chu He.
Of course, he didn't know about Lu Dao, Xu Ying's arrival had been arranged a long time ago, but he heard that Chu He was injured some time ago, so he deliberately delayed it until now. And with Xu Wanqing's temperament, even if she does not reject contact with Chu He, she will never take the initiative to come over to contact.
Xu Ying's eyes were slightly complicated, and all the rhetoric in her stomach was blocked, so she had to put this matter aside for a while and talk about business: "In any case, the matter of Tianji Peak is the fault of my Xu family. Mother's meaning is to compensate the senior brother with the position of deputy seat of the Law Enforcement Hall. ”
Speaking of Xu Luoxi, Chu He couldn't help but be slightly upright. Jindan Zhenren has never been a fool, Xu Luoxi is probably representing the Xu family this time, and his every move is more meaningful. However, Chu He didn't know the inside story on the Golden Agenet Peak, and he couldn't guess what the other party meant for a while.
Seeing that Chu He was silent, Xu Ying also knew that he had been at the peak for a short time, and he didn't understand the situation, so he took the initiative to introduce it. Of course, what she said could not involve Xu Luoxi's true intentions, and it was mostly on the surface, such as the Law Enforcement Hall.
The name Law Enforcement Hall sounds very ordinary, and it is even found in many mortal forces, but the Law Enforcement Hall on Goldingenet Peak is not so simple.
There is also a similar institution within the Qianyang Martial Sect, called the Penal Punishment Palace, which is a sect-level law enforcement department. And Wufeng itself is not allowed to have a department of this nature, so the law enforcement hall on Golden Agenet Peak is actually a non-governmental organization that is not recognized by the sect.
Now not many people know the Dao, when did such an organization as the Law Enforcement Hall appear on the Golden Agenet Peak. However, including a real person like Chu He, it is impossible for everyone who wants to make a living on Golden Agenet Peak to bypass this organization.
Several private markets on the Golden Agenet Peak, and even the public markets set up by the sect, must regularly pay a certain amount of taxes to the Law Enforcement Hall; the Law Enforcement Hall owns almost all the high-quality spiritual fields and spiritual mines on the Golden Agenet Peak; of course, the Law Enforcement Hall will also be responsible for their work on the surface, that is, to deal with disputes and maintain order in the peak.
After listening to Xu Ying's narration, Chu He finally had a preliminary impression of the so-called Law Enforcement Hall...... Isn't this the underworld cultivating the worldly realm?
In this generation, most of the Law Enforcement Hall has fallen into the hands of the Xu family, which is also the biggest capital for them to wrestle with Lingxu Zhenren, and the Xu family will be willing to give up the seat of the deputy seat to themselves?
Chu He couldn't figure out the Xu family's thoughts all of a sudden, but this did not prevent him from making his own request.
"Senior Sister Xu, the Law Enforcement Hall has always respected its strength, and with Chu's current situation, ......" Chu He's face showed a slight embarrassment, and halfway through speaking, he seemed to remember something, and added.
"Senior brother, don't worry, there are not many foundation building disciples on Golden Bird Peak, and the Law Enforcement Hall is actually managing the disciples of the Qi Refining Period. Seeing Chu He's prevarication, Xu Ying couldn't help but be a little anxious: "With Senior Brother's talent, he will be able to easily subdue a group of Xiaoxiao...... Well, if the senior brother has any needs, just ask. If you can be satisfied, my Xu family will never refuse. ”
Halfway through speaking, Xu Ying looked at Chu He and looked at herself, and only then did she reflect what the other party meant. Although her mother had mentioned to her before she came to the door, if Chu He had other requirements, she could not meet them too much, but when she said this sentence herself, the girl still couldn't help blushing.
Although there is no other meaning in this statement, the lonely man and widow staying in this dim cave always causes some strange atmosphere.
Fortunately, Chu He was thinking about other things in his heart, and he didn't notice the girl's mind for the time being, so he just smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Chu Mou is welcome...... I have two requests. The first is that it will be two years before I will take over the affairs of the Law Enforcement Hall. ”
"That's fine. Two years later, the senior brother officially started, which was even more justifiable. ”
"Also. Chu He paused, the smile in his eyes was a little infiltrating, "I heard that the Xu family has a sword cultivation method, if you can get its help, Chu can be worthy of the position of deputy seat of the Law Enforcement Hall." ”
