Chapter 1 Two women on a rainy day, a cruise ship, and an umbrella

There is a way that:

The beautiful scenery of Hangzhou is unparalleled, and the strange flowers and plants on the shore of the West Lake are fragrant in all seasons.

The spring trip to Su Causeway is peach and willow green, and the summer lotus flowers are reflected in the pond. This autumn view of the bright moon is like clear water, and the winter looks at the snow covering the hills......

From Yuhang Town along the Liuhua River upwards, after Yunhe County, it is Hangzhou Mansion.

This road is rippling with water, and the mountains and flowers are on both sides.

A small cruise ship is slowly departing from Yuhang Town.

At the stern of the boat, the captain wearing a hat shouted and greeted his peers.

At the bow of the boat, there are two dazzling figures.

One is a neat little Taoist priest in a green shirt, standing with a long body, clear eyebrows, and bright eyes.

Looking at his figure, it always makes people feel ...... The clock of heaven and earth is nothing more than this, and the rest of the sentient beings are inevitably scribbled,

There was also a girl in colorful clothes standing beside him, wearing a Yunluo skirt decorated with tassels, a body that had not yet fully grown, a thin waist, and slender legs.

With a pair of ponytails, his skin is crystal white, and he has big eyes, looking at the surrounding scenery, a little excited, and as if he has some indelible sorrows.

These two people are the great disciples of Yuhang Town, Shilipo, and Deyun Guannei, the founder and close disciple of Yu Qi'an, Li Chu.

and his demon slave, a koi man, named Yue'er.

Li Chu's trip was yesterday when he received a blood letter from his friend Wang Longqi asking for help, and he planned to rush to the Zhengqi Academy in Fucheng to check the situation.

The reason why she took Xiao Yue'er was because after she ate the dragon fruit, she had completely transformed into a shape.

This time, she went from a little koi with no heart and lungs to a human being with rich feelings and many thoughts.

As soon as the fish becomes smarter, it is easy to get worried.

She thought that her people were still missing, and she was alone in the fish, no matter how good she was, she couldn't be happy.

In addition, she also remembered her grandfather, the koi patriarch, who had a human name and was called Liu Chao'an.

So she followed her grandfather and also had a big name, called Liu Yue.

Yu Qi'an felt that Liu Yue's name was too cheesy, like a country girl. It's better to change "month" to "Yue", which is more elegant.

Li Chu resolutely rejected this proposal.

Unusually resolute.

This time I went to Fucheng and brought a little koi with me, just to let her relax by the way, and don't keep thinking about those bad things.

Xiao Yue'er looked at the surrounding lakes and mountains, and gradually, her mood did ease a little.

The cruise ship passed by a ferry port, which was bustling with people and quite lively.

Taking advantage of the flow of people, there are also many hawkers setting up stalls to sell, and there is a lot of noise for a while.

There are also many people who see the appearance of the person on the bow of the boat here, and can't help but look over.

Yue'er pulled Li Chu's arm: "Master, what do you see those people selling? ”

Li Chu looked over and replied: "That's a river lantern, it's about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people will put river lanterns to make wishes." If you like it, I'll buy you one too. ”

"Good. Xiao Yue'er nodded, and raised her innocent eyes again: "Write your wish on the river lantern, will it really come true?"

"Not at all. Li Chu shook his head resolutely.

Once, twice.

The innocence in Xiao Yue'er's eyes was also ruthlessly shattered......

"And ......" Li Chu said to her again: "Don't call me master anymore, in broad daylight, there are many people outside, and others will feel very strange when they hear it." ”

"Hmm...... What's that shouting?"

Li Chu proposed: "You and I are not as good as brothers and sisters. ”

"But everyone is used to it...... Xiao Yue'er thought for a while and said, "Then it's better to ...... our brothers and sisters during the day in the future."

"Evening too. Li Chu immediately emphasized in a resolute tone.

The little koi had no choice but to nod her head, flicking her twin ponytails around, as if to express her confusion about human behavior.

......

The boat sailed from the mouth of the ferry to the end of the ferry, and I didn't think that in this short moment, the sky above my head would change color.

It's sunny and white, but in the blink of an eye, it becomes cloudy.

By the time the ship was about to go away, there was already a fine rain falling.

The captain wore a hat and didn't care about the rain, while Li Chu and Xiao Yue'er hid in the cabin and sat down.

At this time, I heard someone on the shore calling: "Boatmanβ€”"

The captain turned his head to look over, and saw two women trotting over on the shore, waving to the shore as they ran.

One of the two girls was dressed in a brocade of white clothes with a long skirt fluttering. With black hair coiled in a delicate snow bun, the clouds and temples fluttering in the wind and rain, although he can't see his face clearly, he can also feel the temperament of dust, and his appearance is definitely not bad.

The other was wearing a green Luo gauze skirt, which seemed to be a little younger, slightly shorter, and his pace was brisk, looking lively and cute.

Seeing that they were two beautiful girls, the captain replied: "Eh-"

The woman in green clothes shouted again: "My master and servant have traveled here, and it suddenly rains on this day, I wonder if you can let us take a boat?"

The captain said fairly: "My boat was chartered by the prince in front of me and went to Fucheng." ”

The woman in Tsing Yi said happily: "Then we are just on the way." ”

The captain lifted the curtain of the cabin and said, "Brother Gongzi, this rain is falling urgently, there are two girls on the way, why don't we take them." ”

Then I heard the woman shout, "We can pay more!"

Li Chu immediately said: "Naturally, there is no reason not to match, how can you let the two girls get drenched in the rain." ”

Less.

The cruise ship docked, the captain boarded, and the two girls boarded the boat.

At this time, he could see clearly, and the captain's eyes were almost straight.

The woman in white had a moth-eyebrow and a mantis head, as if she was born flawless. A pair of autumn pupils, looking forward to it, there seems to be a spirit reflection. When walking, it is like the wind blowing the willows, and it is indescribably gentle and gentle.

The captain searched in his mind for a long time, and only thought of an idiom.

It's really fucking good-looking.

The girl in Tsing Yi behind her looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was also bright-eyed and cute. is beside a stunning person, but it doesn't look vulgar, it's already a natural beauty.

The two women thanked the captain and stooped down into the cabin.

The small cabin, which seats four people at once, seems a little crowded.

Li Chu and the little koi sat on one side, and the two women sat on the other, only separated by a narrow pad for putting things.

It can be said that it is face to face.

If you don't speak, it will be a little embarrassing.

The woman in white spoke first: "Thank you Gongzi for your help, otherwise on such a rainy day, we two weak women really don't know what to do." ”

Li Chu hurriedly nodded and responded: "The girl is polite, this is what it should be." ”

The little girl in Tsing Yi rolled her eyes, glanced at Li Chu curiously, and then asked, "This son, where did you come from?"

"In Xia Li Chu, he is a Taoist priest of Shilipo and Deyun Temple outside Yuhang Town. Li Chu replied: "This Yue'er is my sister, and I took her to Fucheng to visit friends." ”

Since Li Chu answered the name, the woman in white said by name: "The little woman's name is Qin Shuangbai, she came from the Jianmen Mansion in Tiannanzhou, and she is also going to visit relatives in Hangzhou Mansion. ”

"My name is Yuqing, and I am Miss's personal maid. The little girl in Tsing Yi rushed to say.

"Huh?" Li Chu said, "The two girls came here from Tiannanzhou to visit relatives, but they have come a long way. ”

Tiannanzhou is located in the southwest, and Jiangnan is in the southeast, although they are all in the south, and the middle is insulated. However, Yuhang Town is on the side of Jiangnan Continent near the East China Sea, and Jianmen Mansion is on the side of Tiannanzhou near the mountains of the West Mang.

In between, it's a long way off.

"Don't hide it from the child......"

Qin Shuangbai's seductive eyes turned, and the waves in her eyes were dim, as if she could pull people into her eyes at once, and she felt the slightest trace of sadness.

"My parents passed away unexpectedly, and I had no choice but to come to my relatives. ”

Speaking of sad things, Qin Shuangbai's eyes were full of moisture, and he seemed to want to cry.

"Miss Qin...... Please also mourn. Li Chu comforted.

"Hmm!" Seeing this, Xiao Yue'er also wanted to comfort her, thought about it, and said, "Sister Qin, don't be too sad, it's not just your father and mother who are dead." My mom and dad don't know if they're dead or not, but they can't find it. My brother's father and mother are also dead!"

"......" Qin Shuangbai was stunned.

This...... Is it comfort?

"Ugh. Next to him, Yuqing looked at the two of them and asked, "You two brothers and sisters...... Isn't it the same?"

"She's My ......"

Li Chuzheng wants to explain from which kinship.

I heard Xiao Yue'er say: "We are half-brothers and sisters. ”

β€œοΌŸβ€

......

The waterway is not far away, when the cruise ship enters the range of the city, the pavilions and pavilions on both sides of the strait gradually appear, even if it rains, there are many pedestrians who go out with umbrellas.

The captain shouted, "Two girls, are you under the Taiping Gate? ”

"Ah, okay. Yu Qing replied and looked at Qin Shuangbai with a smile: "Miss, we have arrived." ”

Qin Shuangbai nodded lightly and said to Li Chu: "Little Daoist Li, then we will meet again in the future." ”

"Well, goodbye. ”

Yu Qing poked her head out and looked at it, and said, "This rain is still not small, do you have an umbrella on board?"

The captain grinned: "We rough people all wear clothes and hats, where will we prepare umbrellas? ”

The little koi lowered his head, took off two umbrellas from the burden on the ground, and shouted, "We have two umbrellas here, can you take them first?"

Qin Shuangbai took the umbrella and thanked: "Thank you, where do you two live in Fucheng? I'll send you the umbrella back when you go back?"

Li Chu said: "I'm still not sure, where are you going to join your relatives, Miss Qin, why don't I go to the door to pick it up another day?"

"That's fine. Qin Shuang's white chin bowed: "I should be in the weeping willow alley in front of Taipingmen Street, the second house on the right hand side of the alley." ”

"Good. Li Chu nodded and wrote it down.

Immediately, the two girls disembarked lightly.

The boatman looked at the graceful back for a long time before reluctantly holding the boat away.

Strangely, as soon as the two girls got off the boat, the sky cleared immediately.

Xiao Yue'er immediately pulled Li Chu again and jumped out of the cabin.

There's a lot to see now.

Fucheng is surrounded by the Liuhua River, which is the most lively section of the street. There are all kinds of shops on both sides, restaurants, tea shops, car dealers, street vendors, and juggling......

Even if Xiao Yue'er went out to play in the past, she was only near Yuhang Town, where had she ever been to such a prosperous place, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Before you know it, the boat is coming to a shallow bay.

As far as the eye can see, the green hills in front are scattered, and the nearest one is not far in front of the shallow bay.

Guhuai Mountain.

Zhengqi Academy is on this mountain.

According to legend, it was a down-and-out official of the previous dynasty, dissatisfied with the darkness of the government, and resigned angrily. Passing by the mountains here, I met a big demon called "Huaizu".

This Huaizu is a monster who has been cultivating in the mountains for an unknown number of years and has a great way. It was because of the official's righteousness that he couldn't help but show up.

He told the officials that the heavens and the earth will be overturned, and your talents and ambitions will have nowhere to be displayed now, so it is better to build a school here and pass on your righteousness. A hundred years later, there is a place for itself.

The officials followed his words and built a academy in the middle of the mountain, which was named "Zhengqi Academy".

Needless to say, after such a hundred years, the Zhengqi Academy has blossomed and borne fruit, cultivating a generation of heroes.

In the past 100 years, after experiencing the war of gods and demons, Heluo Dingding, the world has really changed greatly.

When the balance of the world is rebalanced, it is the time to employ people, and the outstanding people who came out of the Zhengqi Academy will soon shine in the Heluo Court, and the academy they came from will also be famous all over the world.

It became one of the four major academies.

......

Li Chu took the little koi to climb the mountain slowly, and there were many people downstream at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the past, most of them were children and teenagers, accompanied by their parents, who came here to show their talents. Look up at the magnificent college loft halfway up the mountain, so that the child has an ambition.

A little boy saw Li Chu, tugged on his father's sleeve, and asked loudly: "Daddy, daddy, can I look like that brother when I grow up?"

His father's face sank: "How can you look like someone else, you must look like you." ”

The little boy blinked and cried.

His father hurriedly comforted: "Men, it doesn't matter if you're old or ugly, the most important thing is to be talented!"

Further up, soon we reached the mountainside.

After passing the stone monument of the "Zhengqi Academy", you can't easily enter.

There is a mountain pavilion with the only stone staircase road up the mountain.

There is a guard of the academy in the pavilion.

Li Chu stepped forward to report: "I'm here from Yuhang Town to visit friends, I don't know if I can enter?"

The guard glanced at him, "Who's your friend?"

"Wang Longqi. Li Chu replied.

"Oh?" the guard suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Qishao is your friend?"

"Hmm. ”

"Go in, go up the stone steps, turn right, the third attic. Wang Shao has just arrived, and it seems that he lives on the third floor, so you will know which room it is when you go there and ask around. ”

"Thank you. After Li Chu thanked him, he turned around and left.

is also a little surprising, Wang Longqi seems to be familiar with anyone.

Following the path pointed out by the guard, I soon walked to the academy.

There are dozens of gentlemen and hundreds of students in Zhengqi Academy, not to mention that there are many people, but there are countless pavilions and attics, and I don't know what they are used for.

The people I saw on the road were all wearing Confucian shirts with wide robes and large sleeves, and they were all walking with the wind, looking very anxious.

What's more, while walking, he holds the scroll and chants.

Li Chu inexplicably felt a little familiar.

In the past, he also studied in the best schools in the province.

Those students who scored 100 to 600 points lower than him in exams always looked like they were in a hurry and working hard.

Every time he walks leisurely across the campus, he will be a little envious when he looks at those classmates who even have to endorse for eating and walking.

That's right, it's envy.

Envy them for their ability to improve and progress as long as they work hard.

And he never progressed.

......

Wait until you get to the third attic on the right and walk in.

I found that the first floor of the attic was a large room with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, some of which were sitting and some of which were empty, which should be a place similar to a study room.

It's just that the people inside don't study on their own, they are all discussing something loudly, and it sounds like something related to learning.

Li Chu shook his head.

Wang Longqi can't be here.

The second and third floors are all dorm-like places, and when it is daytime, there are very few people on these two floors.

It happened that a scholar hurried downstairs, so Li Chu stopped him and asked, "May I ask where Wang Longqi lives?"

The scholar smiled: "Seven young people, he is the innermost room on the third floor." ”

"Thank you. Li Chu thanked him.

"You're welcome, Qishao's friend is my friend. ”

The scholar suddenly patted Li Chu's shoulder with a very Jianghu atmosphere.

Going upstairs again, I came to the room he was talking about.

I saw that the door of the room was covered with cinnabar yellow talismans, like a place to seal demons......

Li Chu frowned, and he hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Knock knock.

I heard Wang Longqi's voice coming from the door, "Who?"

Li Chu said: "It's me." ”

"Li Chu!"

Wang Longqi suddenly let out a cry.

Then there was the sound of a scurrying run, and he ran over to open the door and shouted, "You're finally here!"

Li Chu passed him through and saw that the room was also full of various magic weapons.

King Kong bell, demon pestle, peach wood sword, bronze mirror......

He couldn't help but wonder, "What the hell is going on?"

Wang Longqi let him in, and said in a trembling voice:

"Our academy, it's a monster!"

"Big monster!"
