Chapter 20: First Encounter with Chen Mu

As if entering some elegant place, the tip of the nose is a light and elegant tea mixed with faint sandalwood, and the eyes are separated by a screen.

"Dare to ask what the seniors are called?" The light female voice of the mountain stream like a clear spring pulled Yuan Qing's eyes back to his eyes, and saw a small woman in a pink dress bowing her body and saying hello.

"The surname is Yuan. Yuan replied lightly.

"Please also ask the senior Yuan to go up to the second floor for a talk. After speaking, he turned sideways slightly, signaling Yuan Qing to go first, his words and actions were neither humble nor arrogant, and he was generous.

Yuan Qing went up to the second floor according to his words, and only felt that the sandalwood tea was stronger, which made people feel comfortable. After the girl took Yuanqing into a private room, she bowed down and retired, and after a while, other women offered fragrant tea, the tea was sweet, the color of tea was like amber, the entrance was slightly bitter, and then the heart was fragrant.

Then, a figure squeezed into Yuan Qing's sight: this person was about seven feet tall, extremely wealthy, wearing a white jade crown, his face was like a disc and his complexion was dark, he was wearing a white robe, embroidered pink peach blossoms, holding a peach blossom fan in his hand, his fingers were thick, and he was wearing a green jade wrench on his left thumb.

The man slowly walked to Yuan Qing and sat down, and said with a smile on his face that was as kind as possible: "In Xia Chenmu, I am the shopkeeper of Tongbao Pavilion here, I don't know what Brother Yuan wants to buy here?" The voice was quite warm and mellow, but the fragrance on his body was a little pungent.

Yuan Qing tried his best to keep his face calm and said: "Shopkeeper Chen, I just look at it casually, and I don't mean to buy items." ”

"It's okay," Chen Muyi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Everyone who comes is a guest, not to mention a young talent like Brother Yuan, you and I have made a friend today, and we will come back if we need to come back in the future." As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and invited Yuanqing to drink together.

After drinking tea, Chen Mu asked casually: "Looking at Brother Yuan's demeanor, should he be a disciple of Xuanyuan?"

"How can you see that?" Yuan Qing raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

Chen Mu shook the peach blossom fan and said slowly: "I have been in this Fang City for more than 20 years, not to mention that the senior brothers in the foundation building period in the Xuanyuan Gate have all been photographed, at least they have seen most of them. ”

Chen Mu's eyes narrowed, and then he said, "Moreover, if my guess is correct, Brother Yuan should be a sword cultivator." ”

Yuan Qing's surface was still light and breezy, but the sword embryo in his body trembled slightly, and his body began to exude a sword intent, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said slowly: "Shopkeeper Chen is really good eyesight." ”

Chen Mu smiled, made a cup of tea for Yuan Qing with his own hands, and then explained: "Chen Mouxiu has a technique of looking at qi, and he unconsciously used it, and when he saw the sword intent on Brother Yuan's body, he asked this question, and if he was rude, please don't blame Brother Yuan." ”

Seeing that Yuan Qing's expression was still cold, Chen Mu turned over and took out a dark green futon and handed it over, "This is a futon woven by the Divine Grass, although it is useless, it also has a certain effect of concentrating and calming the mind when meditating and practicing Qi, so I gave it to Brother Yuan as an atonement." ”

Yuan Qing's eyes were cold, and he didn't take the futon, but said: "Shopkeeper Chen is polite, the so-called merit is not punished, such a valuable gift, Yuan Mou can't accept it." Yuan still has something to do on this trip, so he said goodbye. After saying that, he got up and left.

Chen Mu hurriedly got up and stopped Yuan Qing: "Brother Yuan stayed, I can't hide it, when Brother Yuan left Su Yuan, someone came to report, saying that Brother Yuan had purchased two sets of array weapons, Chen privately speculated that it was used to protect the spiritual land, so there was a futon, and I asked Brother Yuan to forgive him." ”

Yuan Qing turned around and asked in a cold tone, "How can Yuan Mou He De be so loved by Shopkeeper Chen?"

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "There is a monk in the foundation building period in Fang City, no matter how you look at it, he is a big customer, so he naturally needs to pay more attention; ”

Yuan Qing looked at Chen Mu straight and half-sounded, seeing that his expression was sincere and not fake, so he said in a slightly slower tone: "That's it, it's also Yuan himself who is too careless." This futon is indeed what I need, so shopkeeper Chen will make a price. ”

Chen Mu was overjoyed, picked up the futon and handed it to Yuan Qing, and then said: "Brother Yuan is generous, I can't be stingy, this thing costs thirty spirit stones, but it is actually worth twenty-five spirit stones, Brother Yuan can give me twenty-five spirit stones." ”

Yuan Qing put away the futon, turned over his hand and took out an animal skin bag and handed it over: "Shopkeeper Chen, here are thirty spirit stones, you can order them." ”

Chen Mu took the bag and put it away without looking at it. Seeing this, Yuan Qing sighed secretly in his heart, and arched his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, farewell." ”

Chen Mu also smiled and arched his hand: "Brother Yuan, go slowly." ”

After Yuan Qing left, a woman in her twenties, wearing a long pink skirt and a slightly chubby body, walked up behind Chen Mu and said softly, "Young Master, why do you value this person so much?"

Chen Mu hugged the person's waist, opened the folding fan, and said step by step: "Yue'er, I looked at this person with the technique of looking at qi, and the sword intent I saw rushed into the sky, and there was a great momentum of Lingyun. This person has just built the foundation to have such a weather, and it will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future. Taking a step back, even if I were wrong, the loss would be nothing more than a futon, so why not do such a vain sale?"

It's just that what Chen Mu is thinking about at this moment is the chanting sword sound and the chill of the piercing sword qi in his ears.

Yuan Qing's body was full of spirit stones, and there were not many merit points left, so he had no intention of going shopping again, and walked straight to the west of Fang City after leaving Tongbao Building.

It was still released after checking his identity, and he walked more than 100 steps down the mountain after leaving Fang City, Yuan Qing felt that the pressure on his body was suddenly clear, and he released the Broken Water Sword, and the sword went straight to Miao Miao Lake.

An hour later, Yuan Qing returned to the island in the middle of the lake, at this time it was late, the new moon rose, the moonlight poured down, sprinkled on the surface of the lake with sparkling light waves, gradually, the light waves turned into a gentle face like water.

Yuan Qing looked at the lake stupidly, the gentleness in his eyes overflowed, blending with the moonlight all over the lake, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a gentle arc.

"Alas......" After half a sound and a soft sigh, Yuan Qing pulled his thoughts back to reality, looked at the bamboo house behind him, and thought about what to do.

After a while, there was a decision, only to see his sword rise, and after a short time, he returned, and with a wave of his hand, there were two more slender green bamboos and a man-high boulder on the ground.

Put away the water-breaking sword, take out the fish intestine short sword that has not been used for a long time, and for a while, the sword shadow was heavy, and the dust was flying. After a while, Yuan Qing had an extra stone tablet and two candlesticks in his hands.

Yuan Qing set up the stele in front of the bamboo house, the silver light flashed on the body, forced the boulder into the ground two feet deep, and then stretched out his hand to scratch, the stone chips fell down, the stele appeared on the "Qingyuanju" three big characters, although it is not much good-looking, but the words are as sharp as a sword, quite a Lingyun rushing into the sky.

Then he walked into the bamboo hut, placed a candlestick in each of the two rooms, and placed the night pearl on it, and suddenly the room was full of light, clear and soft.

Yuan Qing nodded and said to himself: "It is indeed a great treasure." ”

After doing all this, Yuan Qing took out the god-nourishing futon, sat down cross-legged, turned over and took out a pure white jade cylinder and pasted it on his forehead, and his divine thoughts were immersed in it.

This jade cylinder was given as a gift when the array was purchased, and it recorded the principle of the formation and the method of arranging the formation.

The time of a stick of incense passed, Yuan Qing came back to his senses, rubbed his eyebrows, although it was an extremely simple mechanism, but in his opinion, it was still difficult to be like a book from heaven, so he could only remember the method of arranging the formation first, and then make plans in the future.

Then, he walked out of the house, got up with his sword, stopped and walked around the lake, and at the same time inserted more than ten small aqua blue flags into the low recesses along the way, and finally returned to the island and took out the blue array disk.

A spell was played, and the array emitted a brilliant blue light, and suddenly, layers of water mist appeared around the island, spreading and covering the entire lake in a blink of an eye, and at the same time, a transparent shield rose, enveloping the entire lake.

Yuan Qing nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, then took out a small cyan flag, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, he first looked at the island under his feet, and then his divine sense poured out, penetrating through his feet.

"I didn't expect it to be a hill, and I'm at the top of the mountain. Yuan Qing muttered to himself.

Then he went back to the house, closed his eyes, and released his consciousness, and after a moment he opened his eyes, walked to the inner ashram, and released his consciousness again.

After a stick of incense, Yuan Qing withdrew his divine consciousness and summoned the Broken Water Sword, which directly made the swordsmanship of the unity of the sword run through the straight down.

After descending about ten zhang, the sword light rotated horizontally, instantly clearing the space of one person, and then the sword light converged, and Yuan Qing also showed his figure.

Then the Broken Water Sword slashed horizontally and vertically under the urging of its sword intent, gradually building a stone chamber the size of three zhang, and then going upward, Shengsheng widened the passage down to five feet.

Yuan Qing waved his sleeves and put the inner soil and stone into the storage bag of the next sect, went up with his sword, took the night pearl and futon in the quiet room to the secret room and put them away, and then took out a fist-sized transparent bead and inlaid it on the top of the secret room, and took out five small cyan flags, which were placed around the secret room according to the trend of the five elements and five directions.

After a magic trick was beaten, the blue light of the small flag was faint, and the wisps of heaven and earth vitality gradually filled the entire secret room; another magic trick was beaten, and the spirit pearl brilliance flashed, and the smoke in it was churning, and the heaven and earth vitality in the secret room became more intense, and when I took a deep breath, I only felt that my whole body was comfortable.

Yuan Qing secretly compared, and the concentration of spiritual energy at this time was not much different from the concentration in the valley where Ning Yuan Spirit Pool was located. Everything was done, Yuan Qing sat on the futon, his breathing gradually slowed and lengthened, and he closed his eyes and breathed.

The night passed, and when Yuan Qing woke up again, he was already full of energy, I don't know if it was an illusion or something, the sword embryo in his body seemed to be brighter.

Then, he summoned the Broken Water Sword in front of him, held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, stretched out two fingers with his left hand, closed his eyes, and stroked the blade of the sword along the spine inch by inch

。 At this time, the accident suddenly appeared, with a clear sound, the sword embryo in its body spontaneously vibrate, the sword shadow of the sea was also bright, the pure sword qi flowed along the fingers through the sword body, and the broken water sword made a "buzzing" vibration sound like a reunion with an old friend after a long absence, and then turned into a clear and bright "groan" sound, and finally made a crisp sword sound like a sharp blade out of the sheath.

At this time, Yuan Qing only felt that he was in touch with the Broken Water Sword, and the sword intent was poured into it more smoothly, and as soon as his mind moved, the Broken Water Sword rose into the air, and it circled around the secret room as fast as lightning, and then stopped in front of him, and the sword body was brilliant and sharp.

Yuan Qing put the water-breaking sword into the storage bag and took out the book "Xuanyuan General Knowledge" and read it carefully.

At the beginning of this book, there are only some taboos about the rules and taboos of the sect, such as not killing each other with the sect, if it is discovered by the inspector of the door, it will be punished by the water prison, and at the worst, it will be abolished on the spot and expelled from the sect......

The second article is about the obligations of the monks in the door, most of the content is not much different from what Li Yang said, there is only one article, the monks in the foundation building period will automatically deduct two merits every month, if the merits are deducted, they will be regarded as automatically leaving the sect, the identity token will be invalid, and they will not be allowed to re-enter for life.

Yuan Qing thought about his remaining eight merits, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was lucky, and he didn't change the spirit stone with Su Tianqi for a while.

Turning to the third article, there are a few big characters written at the beginning of "Lu Zhouzhi", as the reading gradually deepens, Yuan Qing's inner vibration is becoming more and more intense, after closing the book, he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his eyes are full of indescribable complex looks.

"I see......"
