Chapter 33 Under Qingping Mountain
"Liangpin Immortal Sword, girl, you said that your Painted Shadow Sword is a Liangpin Immortal Sword?" Ma Zhankun couldn't believe it, "Dare to ask the girl which major sect's disciple she is?" Being able to take out a Liangpin Immortal Sword and give it to his disciples is definitely not something that a small or medium-sized sect can do.
"Kanglong County, Taiqing Sect!" Zhu Xiaomin said loudly.
"Taiqing Sect! It turned out to be the Taiqing Sect of Kanglong County! Tsk, it is worthy of being one of the seven major sects, and it is generous to make a move. Ma Zhankun praised repeatedly. In addition to admiring, he asked again: "Is it true that the Taiqing Sect is so generous? Give the disciples of the Harmony Period with a good quality immortal sword? As far as I know, the Fengling Sect, which is also one of the Seven Great Sects, does not have such treatment for its disciples. ”
Zhu Xiaomin was too lazy to be verbose: "Why do I have a good immortal sword, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?" Okay, my great sect disciples don't bother to worry about tonight's affairs. Let's go!"
Zhou Manyun, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly attached herself to Ma Zhankun's ear and whispered: "Senior brother......" and then it will be inaudible. Ma Zhankun listened, first frowned, and then slowly stretched out, with a "so it is" expression on his face.
Although Zhu Xiaomin didn't know what Zhou Manyun said in his ear, judging from her vicious heart, it was probably not a good thing.
"Girl, we've been talking for so long, and we still don't know what to call it?" asked Ma Zhankun with a smile.
"My surname is Zhu. ”
"Hehe, Miss Zhu. I have something I want to ask. With the noble status of a disciple of the Taiqing Sect, how could she be willing to marry into an ordinary family in Yanzhou? The corners of Ma Zhankun's mouth rose slightly.
Zhu Xiaomin secretly said in his heart that he was terrible, and he had just reported his house to the door for a while. This is in a dilemma, she can't think of a reason to marry far away to the Sun family, and it is difficult to say that it is a fake, if it reaches the city lord Zhou Hexing, wouldn't it cause Sun Songxing a big trouble? She was a little flustered.
Seeing that Zhu Xiaomin's expression was a little flustered, Ma Zhankun and Zhou Manyun looked at each other and smiled.
"Can't you answer, right? I'll just say, with your mere realm in the early stage of harmony, what qualifications do you have to get a good fairy sword? Your Painted Shadow Sword was stolen, right?" Zhou Manyun smiled proudly.
Ma Zhankun continued: "Not bad. Judging from the momentum of the Painted Shadow Sword, it is indeed a good fairy sword. Let's not talk about whether you are a disciple of the Taiqing Sect or not, just with your humble realm, how can the sect give you a good immortal sword? Besides, do you think that if you talk about the Taiqing Sect of Kanglong County so far away, we will believe you? It must be that you stole the Shadow Immortal Sword from the sect and fled here, wanting to take this opportunity to marry into the Sun family and hide it!"
Zhu Xiaomin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she didn't expect the two of them to think in this direction, but it just happened to explain why she participated in the beauty pageant.
"I am indeed a disciple of the Taiqing Sect. As for this fairy sword, what if I stole it? What if not? You don't care. Zhu Xiaomin planned to plan the plan, and admitted it first, so that at least the Sun family would not have any other troubles.
"Hmph, sure enough. Since it was the fairy sword you stole it, it wouldn't be good for you to stay by your side. I'll give you two options: first, hand over the Shadow Sword, we will be safe in the future, and you can be your wife of the Sun family with peace of mind. What do you think?" Ma Zhankun pretended to be amiable.
"What about the second way?" Zhu Xiaomin asked with interest, thinking: "Dare you to love my precious fairy sword, go around such a big circle." Oh, you're wrong. ”
"This second way, let's kill you, take away the Shadow Sword, and the gods don't know it, hehe. I advise you to get acquainted with each other, otherwise your life will be in jeopardy!" Zhou Manyun felt that Ma Zhankun supported her, and her confidence also came up.
"There is a third way, I'll give each of you a kick, get out of here!" A loud voice suddenly came out from behind, startling Ma Zhankun and Zhou Manyun, who were proud.
The person who spoke was Lu Baifeng, and Zhou Manyun suddenly remembered that when Zhu Xiaomin left the square, he was walking with several other people, as if there was such a bearded person among them.
Ma Zhankun broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't notice that someone had entered the room just now, and he was standing behind him. Hurriedly swept away his spiritual sense, it was bad, and he couldn't find out what the realm was.
Ma Zhankun stubbornly said: "This brother, I don't know if you are ......"
Lu Baifeng drank coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get out of me!"
Seeing Lu Baifeng's tough tone and such a strong momentum, Ma Zhankun had no choice but to quickly flee with Zhou Manyun.
"Senior Brother Lu, how long have you been watching the play? If you come out early, it will be over a long time ago. Zhu Xiaomin pouted and complained.
Lu Baifeng snorted: "It's so boring at night, it's rare for them to come out and have some fun for me." However, these two people are really greedy and bold, and they actually started the idea of painting shadow swords. ”
"Greed also depends on whether you have that strength. However, Senior Brother, I'm a little worried, just now I exposed the identity of the disciple of the Taiqing Sect, if it reaches the ears of the City Lord, will it bring trouble to the Sun family?" Zhu Xiaomin was a little worried.
Lu Baifeng comforted: "It shouldn't be." There is no rule that you can't find a person who cultivates immortals when looking for a daughter-in-law. Besides, the city lord's own daughter is also an immortal cultivator, so don't worry. Okay, you go on meditating, I'll go back to my room. After he said this, Zhu Xiaomin also put his mind at ease and began to meditate without distraction.
Early the next morning, Sun Songxing happily ran to the plum garden and told everyone to go to Sun's house at noon that day to attend the banquet for the enthronement of the head of the family.
"You're the head of the house so soon? Tang Junhe congratulated Sun Songxing.
Sun Songxing smiled: "The Sun family has been ownerless for a long time, and it urgently needs someone to take care of it." Yesterday, Miss Zhu won, the eldest brother and the second brother also recognized it, although Siniang was unwilling, but there was no way. This time, Sun really wants to thank everyone. After I take the throne, you can continue your journey, and if you want to stay in Yanzhou to play, this 'plum garden' will always be for you to live in. ”
"Thank you Brother Sun for taking care of me these days. We don't plan to stay in Yanzhou anymore, so we'll leave in the afternoon. Lu Baifeng arched his hand.
Sun Songxing was a little surprised: "I'm in such a hurry to leave? Or go again tomorrow, and tonight I will have someone prepare you enough taels of silver and dry food. ”
Lu Baifeng said with a smile: "We appreciate Brother Sun's kindness. We don't need to be entangled with dry food, we've been in Yanzhou for a few days, it's time to leave. ”
Sun Songxing nodded helplessly: "Since this is the case, I won't force it to stay." The Sun family has a lot of affairs now, and I have come here to inform you. Now I'm going back. Ah, right. He took out a large red satin bag from his bosom and opened it, revealing a pair of bracelets that were warm and bright. Sun Songxing handed the bracelet to Zhu Xiaomin: "This time thanks to the girl's help." This is a pair of mutton fat white jade bracelets that I specially asked the jade craftsman to make overnight. Please take it from the girl. ”
The white jade bracelet showed a faint milky white, and the surface was very smooth, Zhu Xiaomin liked it at a glance and hurriedly put it on his wrist.
At noon, the Sun family was very lively, and the patriarchs of the other three major families, the city lords, and all kinds of prominent figures in Yanzhou City came. The banquet was also very luxurious, and the Sun family specially invited a cook from Mochiyue Tower. Zhu Xiaomin: Naturally, they feasted on another feast.
After being full of wine and food, Taiqingzong and his party left Yanzhou City.
Out of Yanzhou all the way to the east, is a low hill called "Qingping Mountain". Although Qingping Mountain is not high, it is very famous in Youlong County. There are two reasons, one is the beautiful scenery here, and the other is that Qingping Mountain produces some precious minerals and medicinal materials. In the north of Qingping Mountain, there is a river called Blue Glacier River, which gathers into a water inlet at the foot of the mountain. The Blue Glacier River is a tributary of the Lanyue River, with a wide river surface, a very slow current, a very clear river, and a lot of fish and shrimp in the water. Many people come here to take a boat down the river and whirl around the water surface of Blue Ice Bay, enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river.
When they were in Yanzhou City, Tianxiao and Tianyao heard about the two good places of Qingping Mountain and Blue Ice Bay, so they decided to stop by to have a look. It was just over midsummer and the weather was still very hot. Although immortal cultivators are not afraid of the cold and heat, the exposure to the scorching sun makes people almost unable to open their eyes. Qingping Mountain seemed to be right in front of him, but he didn't reach it after walking for a long time. An hour later, everyone finally arrived at the foot of Qingping Mountain.
The trees of Qingping Mountain are lush and green, and there is a large shady area at the foot of the mountain. Finally avoided the scorching sun overhead, and everyone felt much more comfortable.
Suddenly, a lot of people came out of the woods on the side of the road, surrounding Tianxiao and Tianyao. These people were all wearing white robes, and two of them were Zhou Manyun and Ma Zhankun, who had escaped the night before, and it seemed that these people were all disciples of the Yulan Sect.
At this time, Taiqingzong and his party were still wearing ordinary clothes bought in Yanzhou City, and the fairy swords were all packed in a wooden box, carried by Tianyao. Lu Baifeng thought that since it was a game, there was no need to show that he was an immortal cultivator, and besides, this was not Kanglong County, and the identity of a disciple of the Taiqing Sect might cause some trouble. Therefore, he asked everyone to hide their cultivation for the time being, and let the three junior sisters wear veils.
Zhou Manyun pointed to the five people and said to the leader of the one: "It's them!"
Although the man was good-looking, his expression was very cold, and his face looked full of evil anger.
Lu Baifeng smiled and asked, "I don't know what you have to do?"
The spiritual sense of the person at the head swept Lu Baifeng, but he found that he couldn't detect Lu Baifeng's realm, so he snorted coldly from his nostrils: "I knew that you were an immortal cultivator, so why hide your cultivation in front of me?"
Lu Baifeng laughed: "My cultivation is low, but I actually hide it because I am embarrassed." Forgive me, forgive me. When he said this, he had already used his spiritual sense to sweep away the realm of everyone present. Except for the person who started the first stage of the Void Immortal Realm, Zhou Manyun was in the middle stage of the Qingling Realm, and the rest of the people were all in the Yuanying Realm.
"Why don't the three girls show their true faces? Aren't they not good-looking, for fear of scaring others?" the man mocked again. After that, the disciples of the Yulan Sect burst into laughter.
Zhu Xiaomin snorted coldly and lifted the veil: "No matter how good-looking I am, I am more beautiful than the person behind you." ”
"Senior brother, it's her!" Zhou Manyun said hatefully.
The senior brother's words just now were just to provoke Zhu Xiaomin and the three of them to take off their veils, otherwise they wouldn't have recognized who was Zhu Xiaomin. It turned out that after Zhou Manyun and Ma Zhankun escaped the night before, they did not return to the City Lord's Mansion, but rushed back to the Yulan Sect in the Wanfeng Forest in the southern suburbs of Yanzhou City overnight, and reported the matter to the Yulan Sect Sect Master in detail. When the sect master heard that the person who stole the good immortal sword was only in the early stage of harmony, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the eldest disciple Yang Yujia to take a group of disciples to the plum garden to snatch the fairy sword. I didn't want to go to the plum garden, only to find that the house had already been empty. After inquiring about the guards guarding the city, I learned that the group went out of the east gate and marched towards Dongping Mountain. So they immediately rushed to the dense forest under Qingping Mountain and set up an ambush.
Tang Junhe and Xiao Liying, who were behind Zhu Xiaomin, also removed the veils on their faces one after another, this is good, those disciples of the Yulan Sect saw it straight. Zhou Manyun was also taken aback, she didn't expect that there were two such beautiful girls beside Zhu Xiaomin, and she secretly said in her heart: "Why are they all so beautiful, it's really uncomfortable to watch." ”
Yang Yujia snorted dissatisfiedly when he saw the useless appearance of his junior disciples one by one. Hearing his cold snort, those disciples of the Yulan Sect suddenly came back to their senses.
With a "bang", Tianyao put the wooden box on his back on the ground, and the sound attracted a casual glance from Zhou Manyun, who was full of depression. She was listless, and she was suddenly shocked, because she saw the faces of Tianxiao and Tianyao standing together.
"I didn't expect there to be two such handsome men in this group, why didn't I notice it before?" Zhou Manyun thought to herself. In fact, she has only seen Tianxiao and Tianyao once, that is, in the VIP seat of the beauty pageant. However, at that time, Zhou Manyun was angry at the patriarchs of the three major families, and later quarreled with Zhu Xiaomin, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the people around Zhu Xiaomin at all.
Tian Xiao said loudly: "Don't you just want the shadow sword of your junior sister? The sword is in this box, if you have the ability, come and get it." "What happened the night before, Zhu Xiaomin has already said that everyone knows.
"Sword thieves dare to speak wildly?" Yang Yujia pulled out the fairy sword on his back, and rushed towards Tianxiao with a kick of his feet.
"Hey, senior brother......" Zhou Manyun just came back to her senses, but it was too late to stop Yang Yujia, on the one hand, she wanted to grab the fairy sword, because the sect master had promised that if she grabbed the fairy sword painting, when Zhou Manyun cultivated to the Yuanying realm, she would be rewarded for use. But on the other hand, she didn't want to see Tianxiao and Tianyao being injured by her senior brother, she knew Yang Yujia's violence best, and few of his disciples of the same generation could surpass his realm in the late stage of emptiness.
To Zhou Manyun's shock, before Yang Yujia rushed in front of Tianxiao, he was hit by Lu Baifeng's oblique stab, hit the trunk and fell, and his face was injured. Not only Zhou Manyun, but the other disciples of the Yulan Sect were also dumbfounded, Yang Yujia was already in the late stage of the Void Realm, and he was actually knocked away by Lu Baifeng with just one palm, could it be that this bearded uncle in front of him was a master of the Cave Void Realm?
Yang Yujia himself was also stunned, at that time, Ma Zhankun only said that he couldn't see through Lu Baifeng's cultivation, so the sect master sent himself to lead everyone to come and grab the sword. Yang Yujia was full of confidence, thinking that the realm of the person who stole the immortal sword would not be too high, and it was nine out of ten to win the sword with his cultivation in the late stage of the void. But he didn't know that in fact, Lu Baifeng didn't hide his cultivation at all just now, but he was a whole level higher than Yang Yujia, and Yang Yujia couldn't see it.
"What realm are you, what realm are you?" Yang Yujia stood up with difficulty and asked.
Lu Baifeng smiled faintly: "The late stage of the cave void." ”
There was an immediate gasp on the spot. Okay, you don't have to fight, what is the concept of the late stage of the cave void? The other party alone can clean up all his group unscathed, what kind of sword does this take?
Yang Yujia saw the wind and made amends: "I didn't know that you were such a master, it was really rude just now." Fellow Daoists, rest assured, I, Yulan Sect, promise not to covet the Shadow Immortal Sword again. Although he has a violent personality, he can distinguish between priorities and urgency, and competing with Lu Baifeng at this time is like a baby being able to compete with a strong man.
Lu Baifeng said: "Go back and tell your sect master, my junior brothers and sisters are all talented and talented immortal cultivation wizards, and my junior sister's painting shadow sword was not stolen, but was taken from the sect master in a dignified manner!"
Yang Yujia hurriedly said yes, turned around and glared at Ma Zhankun fiercely, and hurriedly left with all the disciples. Zhou Manyun turned her head with some nostalgia, not feeling good in her heart. Thinking about it, over the years, although there were many male disciples around him, no one had ever made him so excited. Knowing that Tianxiao and Tianyao were both disciples of the Taiqing Sect, she also understood the gap between herself and them. Now, she suddenly felt that it didn't matter what quality of fairy sword she had, and thinking that she would follow her father's arrangement in the future to marry someone she had never seen before, Zhou Manyun felt stunned in her heart.
"Tianxiao, when you spoke just now, Zhou Manyun kept staring at you. Walking on the mountain road of Qingping Mountain, Xiao Liying said with a smile.
"Oh, really? I didn't pay attention. Tianxiao shook his head innocently.
Tang Junhe also smiled: "Not only Tianxiao, but she also looked at Tianyao." Finally, when her brother rushed at the two of you, she looked like she was going to stop you. Tsk, the charm of my two junior brothers is really great. ”
"Senior sister is joking us again. In fact, that Zhou Manyun is quite beautiful, but she cares too much about her appearance, what if she looks good on the outside? More important than her appearance is her heart. This incident can be regarded as a lesson for her. Tianyao said.
"Having said that, those people from the Yulan Sect are really greedy, and they actually stare at my Shadow Sword. Zhu Xiaomin was still a little annoyed.
Xiao Liying said: "This is a very normal thing. You, Tianxiao, and Tianyao are all rare first-class root bones, and the sect must of course focus on cultivation. Only a big sect like our Taiqing Sect can be so generous to its disciples, and a sect like the Yulan Sect can't even compare to the sect master's immortal sword. ”
"Well, that's over. Anyway, I caught up with the Lin Xiang Festival in Yanzhou and participated in the beauty pageant, I was satisfied and enjoyed. Where are we going next?" asked Zhu Xiaomin with great interest.
Lu Baifeng raised his head and looked at the top of Qingping Mountain: "I once heard that people in Yanzhou said a ballad:
'Qingping Mountain, east of Yanzhou City,
Qingping Mountain North Blue Ice Bay.
The blue ice river is clear and beautiful,
Slowly flowing into Lanyuenan.
Hanzhou City, Lanyue River Estuary,
The moon rises at night in Hanju City.
The bright moon rises and shines on the four universes,
Under the sky, the river travels. ’
Although this is a smooth ballad, it gives us a direction to visit. I think we will follow the guidance of the folk song, cross Qingping Mountain, follow the Blue Ice River, and take a boat north to Hanzhou. ”
"It seems that that place should be beautiful, otherwise it would not have been made into a ballad. Blue Glacier, such an elegant name. Tang Junhe sighed.
Qingping Mountain is not high, and the group climbed for about an hour to reach the top of the mountain. At this time, it is already unitary time, the sun is setting, the sunset is afterglow, and the beautiful Qingping Mountain is like a shy girl wearing a thin red veil under the illumination of the sunset. From the top of the mountain, you can see the hazy pavilions and pavilions in Yanzhou City in the distance, as well as the curling smoke rising from the villages outside the city. What a peaceful scene!
