[Who cried bitterly, hugged each other and met happily]

It's noon, and the sun is shining.

A painting boat slowly docked, and Hua Jieyu, Yun Xuan and other eight people got off the boat one after another.

Everyone stood on the riverside, looking at a beautiful scenery, but they had no intention of watching it.

originally thought that the matter could be revealed, but unexpectedly, Yu Renxiong died suddenly, and the only clue was the sentence "ghost scholar".

But it's better than nothing, better than no clue.

"The other party is so scheming and instigating the Drunken Immortal Building to annex the Yanyu Building, who will it be?"

Li San was the first to ask questions.

"If the other party can poison unknowingly, he must be extremely skilled, or he has a profound concealment technique. ”

"As for the other party's purpose, it seems that the only people who benefit from this matter are Liao Huaji and Yu Renxiong, but the two are dead, which means that the other party has another purpose, and it is likely that they are coming at me. ”

"Hu Yanchun died of poison in front of him, but Yu Renxiong was still able to be poisoned by this dove again, which just cleared Hu Yanchun's suspicion, and the other party probably wanted to cause a conflict between us and the pavilion at first, so as to hit us hard, and then instigate Yu Renxiong to take the opportunity to initiate annexation. ”

Hua Xie spoke eloquently, and everyone who listened to it was dazzled.

"Fortunately, Gongzi asked me to investigate Hu Yanchun, otherwise I would have been sure of the other party's way. ”

Li San rejoiced.

"And Yu Renxiong's death, the variable is likely to be in Brother Yun, so he will be poisoned. ”

Hua Jieyu's gaze looked at Yun Xuan.

Yun Xuan was slightly stunned, why is he a variable?

Yu Renxiong also provided an important clue before he died, which was also the key to his poisoning. ”

Could it be that there are other clues besides the ghost scholar?

Everyone thought hard for a while to no avail, and they all turned their puzzled eyes to Hua Jieyu.

"I see!"

Lian Xiang'er suddenly rolled her eyes and said:

Yu Renxiong said a word before he died. ”

Hua Xie nodded approvingly and motioned for her to continue.

"Yu Renxiong said "three months ago" before he died, it is likely that the ghost scholar was looking for Yu Renxiong three months ago, and Yun Gongzi joined Yanyulou only two days ago, obviously Yun Gongzi's addition was outside the other party's plan, so the other party will poison the food I sent to Yun Gongzi, but Yun Gongzi happened to be in retreat that day and escaped the other party's calculations. ”

Lian Fang'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, as if she remembered something, and hurriedly said:

"No, it should be poisoned to everyone, after my son-in-law was poisoned, I finally found the toxin in a piece of apricot blossom cake, Nie Yuanba was not poisoned because he was not usually in the building, and why Li Sanye was not poisoned, it may be that he did not eat apricot blossom cake that day. ”

Li San thought carefully when he heard this, and then nodded.

Everyone instantly understood a lot, but they also glanced at this beautiful twin sister.

"We found Hu Yanchun, Hu Yanchun died, we found Yu Renxiong, Yu Renxiong also died, so if we can find this "ghost scholar", will he die?"

Hua Jie's tone was calm, and then he said slowly:

"Yu Renxiong was poisoned in the morning, and the person who poisoned him must have gone to the Drunken Immortal Tower to poison him before he got on the boat. ”

can be named a "ghost" by Yu Renxiong, who has always been scheming, presumably this person must be a wise person. ”

"We can tentatively assume that this scholar is the one who poisoned and killed Hu Yanchun, so that the scope of the investigation can be narrowed. ”

Hua Xie Yu turned his head to look at Li San and said;

"Third master, I still have to bother you to make a hard trip, first check if there are any scholars with excellent wisdom and martial arts who have been to the Drunken Immortal Building in the past three months. ”

Li San said yes again and again, and his heart was full of admiration.

"This matter has to be considered in the long run, once the results are found, remember not to startle the snake, if the scholar dies, the clue will be completely broken. ”

Hua Jieyu immediately looked at Wan Zhang and Nie Yuanba on the side.

"Wan Lao, Yuan Ba, you two work hard, first take over the Drunken Immortal Building, Yuanba, you will be the landlord first, Wan Lao will also be the worship of the Drunken Immortal Building, and the small Yuan Dan obtained from the martial arts will be given to Wan Lao. ”

Nie Yuanba nodded yes, Wan Zhang shook his head vigorously at first, and then saw Hua Xie Yu and directly shook the sentence, "If Wan Lao doesn't accept it, Yuanba, you will throw the pill into the river to feed the fish." The old man blushed, and he was able to answer.

I was moved in my heart, and I don't need to mention it again.

"Childe, what should you do with the white and blue attendants and talents in the Drunken Immortal Mansion now?"

Nie Yuanba stepped forward and asked.

"All the white and blue servants were dismissed and recruited from the new. As for the talents, just stay in the Drunken Immortal Building. ”

Nie Yuanba immediately set off with Wanzhang to deal with the affairs of the Drunken Immortal Building.

Li San also clenched his fists at this time and said:

"Without further ado, I'll set out to investigate. ”

After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared.

The rest of Hua Jieyu, Yun Xuan, Er Lian and Shen Weiran returned directly to Yanyu Building.

When I entered the building, I saw that the hall of Nuoda was quiet, and there was no more prosperous scene in the past, only a few diners were drinking and eating in the corner.

Seeing this scene, everyone sighed.

The trees are scattered, and the tea is cooler when people walk.

Hua Jieyu seemed to have expected such a general, and was not surprised, and commanded:

"Fang'er, announce that Yanyu Building will be closed for five days. In addition, talk to Yuan Ba and ask him to transfer twenty hidden guards to serve as the new white and blue attendants of Yanyu Building. ”

"Yes, Childe. ”

Lian Fang'er nodded.

"The tea shop on the second floor can operate as usual. ”

"As for the third floor, now there is only Miss Shen left, I wonder what Miss Shen's plans are?"

Hua Jieyu smiled slightly, revealing her silver-white teeth, and looked at Shen Weiran on the side.

Shen Weiran held Yaoqin in his hand, but slowly walked towards the third floor, only to hear her cold voice coming slowly.

"Lingyin Fang is here, I'm here. ”

Hua Jieyu looked at Shen Weiran's back, suddenly smiled again, and suddenly the hall was full of color, and the clouds were gone.

I only heard him say aloud:

"In the future, on the third floor of Yanyu Building, there will only be Lingyin Fang, and it will only be opened for Miss Shen alone. ”

Shen Weiran's figure froze, and he disappeared into the stairs without looking back.

Hua Jieyu's pair of phoenix eyebrows seemed to have an inexplicable divine light flowing through, extremely sharp, only to hear him suddenly say softly:

"Fang'er, prepare for this time, hold a "Linjiang Banquet" on the Bibo River on May 5, and send out invitations to invite heroes from all over the world to gather here. ”

Yun Xuan saw Hua Jieyu and dispatched troops, showing the demeanor of a general. admired in my heart, if this person was born in the temple, he must be a wise and brave general.

"By the way, Fang'er, go prepare a few dishes, bring two jars of drunken immortal brew, and Brother Yun and I will have a few drinks. ”

Hua Xie Yu commanded.

It seemed that everything had finally been dealt with, and the whole person relaxed, only to see him sitting lazily on the chair next to him, his long eyelashes moving, and his eyes narrowed.

Yun Xuan sat down on the opposite side of the table, while Lian Xiang'er turned around and went to get a pot of hot tea and poured it for the two of them.

At this time, scattered diners entered one after another, which was thousands of miles away from the previous lively scene.

Yun Xuan suddenly remembered that Ergazi, who had been practicing swords for the past two days, should still be hungry at noon at this moment, so he said to Lian Xiang'er:

"Miss Xiang'er, help me call Ye Yun over too. ”

Lian Xiang'er nodded yes, and turned around to go to the small bamboo building.

After a while, I saw Lian Fang'er carrying two jars of wine and four maids coming up, each holding a tray, and in each tray, there was a dish with a delicate style.

The four maids arranged the dishes in the four corners one by one, and then retreated.

Lian Xiang'er also came over with Ergazi at this time.

As soon as Ergazi saw Yun Xuan, he immediately saluted.

"The apprentice has seen Master. ”

Yun Xuan responded, and immediately motioned for him to sit down on the other side.

It was the first time for Ergazi to eat with someone at the table so formally, and he looked extremely restrained, and his neck seemed to be a little bent.

Last time I was in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, I ate Haisai for a while, although it was the same table, but at that time, I was alone, and there was nothing I couldn't let go.

Now sitting at the same table with the master he respects and the owner of Yanyu Building, this is something that Er Gazi never dreamed of.

Lian Xiang'er hid her mouth and snickered on the side, and after being glared at by Lian Fang'er, she hurriedly took it back.

At this time, another maid was holding a tray, and there was a large blue and white porcelain plate in the tray, which was bubbling with a burst of fragrance at the moment.

The large porcelain plate was carefully placed in the center, and the maid retreated.

Hua Xie Yu smiled and said:

"Brother Yun, this is the signature of the signboard in my Yanyu Building, donkey soup tiger bone soup, and the blue wave nine-striped fish, eighteen banquets and call me the three unique delicacies of Yanyulou. ”

"In order to keep the ingredients fresh, I have specially raised various varieties of domestic animals and wild animals at the foot of Tianxiang Mountain, this donkey soup tiger bone soup is made of freshly slaughtered donkey meat and tiger bones, the taste is excellent, Brother Yun might as well try it." ”

Yun Xuan was about to stretch out his hand, but a person suddenly jumped out of the oblique stab, and shouted loudly:

"You can't eat this soup~!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, could it be that someone poisoned it?

They all looked at the person who spoke, only to see that the person who came had a blue nose and swollen face, a waist suspended in dust, a crooked hair crown, a shabby robe with several holes visible, and a teenage child with a black face behind him.

But seeing that this person's eyes were filled with tears, he hugged his head and cried bitterly.

Everyone looked at it for a while.

Lian Xiang'er showed a hint of anger in her eyes, and asked:

"Well, you old way, don't be weird, why can't you eat this soup?"

Lao Dao seemed to be even more sad, and slapped his hand on the ground again and again, whimpering at the same time:

"That's my donkey~!"

A few people were about to talk, but they were suddenly interrupted by another scene.

"Little Gazi?!"

"Second brother?!"

Two voices of great surprise and surprise came at the same time.

Looking at the field again, Er Ga Ziteng jumped up and hugged the little black face who rushed over from the opposite side.

It's the ugly slave.

......

In the evening, the small bamboo building.

The clear water of the lake ripples layer by layer, reflecting the sunset in the sky, and the fish in the water swim away and dive into the hollows under the rockery.

The ripples were caused by a donkey drinking water.

Next to the donkey, the sloppy old man held a turtle shell, sat on a piece of bluestone, drank without a sip, and from time to time took a bite of a cucumber with only a small section left.

The donkey was lost, and the old way reverted to his unobtrusive appearance.

In the Yanyu Building, there was a big foreign appearance, and finally I learned that the donkey soup tiger bone soup in the Yanyu Building was made of donkey meat that had just grown up for less than a year, and his own old and eight-hearted donkey people couldn't look down on it at all, and were randomly locked in a row of donkey sheds in the distance behind the Yanyu Building.

The sloppy old man took another sip, patted the old donkey's lowered head, and sighed:

"Brother, you can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, the donkey shed trough of Yanyulou is full of high-quality forage with eggs, and the drink is also high-quality mutton fat milk. After so many years, you have been sleeping with this Taoist master, and today I finally ate a good meal. ”

The donkey stuck out its tongue and swept towards the half-cut cucumber in the sloppy old man's hand.

"You're also a coward, and you've finally seized a chance, and you're not going to be full and drinkable? ”

The sloppy old man took another sip, clicked a large mouthful of cucumber, and stuffed the remaining half into the old donkey's mouth.

The donkey took a few bites, snorted, seemed to be particularly dissatisfied, and leaned towards the turtle shell in Lao Dao's hand.

", this one is mine. ”

Lao Dao had a look of resentment on his face, and hurriedly pushed the donkey's head to the side.

Suddenly, only a few high neighing voices were heard from the old donkey.

Then came a foul smell.

The old Taoist priest hurriedly got up and looked, but it was the old donkey who had a bad stomach and ran sideways.

The old Taoist priest looked at the red glow in the sky, looked at the pavilion in the distance again, and sighed.

Sure enough, it's a poor billet, and there is no such rich life.

The sloppy old man rummaged through the rag baggage, found the meat bun tightly wrapped in oiled paper, opened a corner, and took a bite lightly.

Buns, are cold.

The taste is fragrant.

It's also bitter.

Lao Dao stood quietly for a long time, gently put down the bun, led the donkey, and left quietly.

......

One floor in a small building.

Ergazi looked at the ugly slave in front of him, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

More than that, it's sad.

The memories of ten years are vivid.

What's more, it's embarrassing and struggling......

It is the joy and warmth of being lost and regained, but also the distress and unwillingness of going through hardships.

Ever since the ugly slave can remember, since she knew her appearance, her little white face has never been white.

She always wiped her face with her mud-stained hands, thinking that this would make others not see her.

What she hates the most is that she and her eldest brother praise her for being good-looking.

Suddenly, one day, she said she had a name.

It was the talented men of the city who got it.

It is said that it is still a word card.

It's called an ugly slave.

She loved it.

The eldest brother lost his temper for the first time.

He locked himself in a ruined temple without eating or drinking, for three days and three nights.

She finally relented and accepted her eldest brother's offer.

Agree that she is called Xiao Gazi.

Twelve years ago, the four-year-old self and the eight-year-old eldest brother found the dying baby on the riverside.

She has a long scar on her face.

Whose parents are so ruthless, even if they abandon their children, they still have to scratch her original porcelain doll-like face.

Is it just because she's a girl?

Since then, there has been an extra follower behind the eldest brother.

And drag oil bottles.

The mood was like a tide, and Ergazi burst into tears again.

"Little Gazi, I'...... I miss big brother. ”

The ugly slave didn't answer, but her eyes were slightly red, and she immediately rubbed her eyes vigorously.

Over the years, I have shed enough tears.

"Crying, it's not good. ”

The ugly slave struggled to hold back her tears and grinned, revealing a row of clean and neat teeth.

"To live, you have to laugh. ”

"Second brother, don't make me cry, I will cry and wear makeup, you have to be responsible for finding mud for me. ”

The ugly slave wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Ah~!"

Ergazi suddenly let out a wolf-like howl, and suddenly hugged the ugly slave in front of him tightly.

Immediately afterwards, a pig-like cry was overwhelming, sweeping a small bamboo building.

Second floor.

Lian Xiang'er's hand holding the teapot trembled, so frightened that the teapot almost came out of her hand.

What's going on?!

"Childe, should I go down and have a look?"

Lian Xiang'er said with some worry.

Lian Xiang'er didn't know that Yun Xuan could hear the conversation between the two downstairs.

"Not necessarily. ”

Yun Xuan smiled slightly.

"It's a knot in his heart, and it's going to be fine. ”

Immediately, Yun Xuan sighed again.

"In the future, be kind to the two of them. ”

"Huh?"

Lian Xiang'er was a little puzzled.

I didn't abuse them......

Yun Xuan stared at the dark night sky, and a trace of sympathy flashed in his heart.

Ugly slave, the meridians are broken!

What happened to her is far from being as simple as a scar on her face.

The strange thing is that she can miraculously survive without the slightest cultivation.

Even if he is a top master, he will not live for ten years at most.

What's more, she is a little girl who follows Ergazi all day long.

Is that the Taoist?

Martial arts cultivation to a certain level, you can judge the level of the opponent's cultivation by looking at the "qi" of others, the low one is like silk, and the high one is like a dragon and a tiger, also known as "Wangqi".

There are two kinds of people who practice martial arts.

Absorb the qi of heaven and earth and cultivate in the body, and cultivate the qi of nature, which is also called truth.

Gathering the qi of the blood veins and cultivating in the body, what is cultivated is the fundamental qi, also known as yuan, commonly known as internal force.

Most of the top masters on the rivers and lakes are cultivators, and there are very few cultivators.

If you want to cultivate the truth, you must be able to perceive the qi of heaven and earth, and in contrast, a cultivator only needs to perceive his own blood qi, which is much simpler.

Of course, the exercises are also extremely important.

Compared with Xiuzhen, Xiu Yuan is more dependent on the meridians, and once the Yuan Qi is used, it must be restored over a long period of time.

Therefore, once the meridians are injured, the vitality will be greatly damaged.

Since Yun Xuan came here, he hadn't met a cultivator.

What makes Yun Xuan strange is that there is only a trace of almost invisible "qi" on the sloppy old man's body.

There seems to be nothing, looming.

Not even a third-rate master.

The girl next to him, who was jumping around all day long, turned out to be a first-class master.

Although the previous retreat was interrupted by Lian Xiang'er, fortunately, she had already stepped into the threshold with one foot in the Tongyou style, and it was only a matter of time before she practiced to become a master.

As soon as he entered the seclusion, Yun Xuan found that his Xuan power seemed to have increased.

It's a pity that Wangqi can't be used on himself, Yun Xuan really wants to see what shape his qi is. There is no standard for the realm you are in.

The only information I know is from some essays written down by the Heavenly Dao Sword Codex, which are like those written down by the Venerable Master Kurong when he was bored.

The Heavenly Dao Sword Codex contains nine styles and one method.

It took me ten years to practice the first five styles.

Sweeping the clouds, maze, skimming the sky, swimming dragons, shocking floods.

It took another fifty years to practice the six-style spring thunder.

As for the way he cultivated, Yun Xuan knew very well that what he cultivated was not true or elemental, but mysterious.

The difficulty of cultivating the mystic is difficult to go to the nine heavens.

This is the first sentence of the opening chapter of yin and yang.

According to the Sword Guard, Xiu Xuan not only had to comprehend heaven and earth, but also had to go to Bo's almost non-existent luck.

At the beginning, with a hatred, he actually lived a life.

When I think about it occasionally, I can't help but be afraid for a while.

I don't know when, in addition to the idea of retreating to the mountains and forests, Yun Xuan seems to have the idea of being a master in the world for a while.

At this moment, I could only hear the slightly anxious voice of the ugly slave downstairs:

"Stinky old man, where are you dead? ”
