In Anyang County, southwest of Liyang Prefecture, there is a famous sect in the local area and even in the entire Liyang Prefecture, called Lian Fang Zhai. There are two reasons why the sect is famous. Lianfangzhai is the same as the Colorful Fantasy Mansion in the rivers and lakes of Great Xia, one of the few sects that only recruits female martial arts cultivators. It's just that compared with the latter, the martial artists of Lianfangzhai practice mostly with the original intention of maintaining their youthful appearance, so they practice mostly pro-wood techniques, and their combat power itself is not outstanding.

In addition, the sect of Lianfangzhai is located in a valley where the vitality of heaven and earth is quite strong. The vitality in the valley is not conducive to the direct refining of martial artists, but is extremely beneficial to the growth of all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Therefore, in addition to planting rare flowers and plants that have long been extinct in Great Xia and even other parts of the world, there are also a lot of rare medicinal materials prepared. Every year, in order to obtain a herb, the immortal money that pours into Lian Fang Zhai from the major sect forces is enough to make Lian Fang Zhai develop into a first-class sect. However, Lian Fangzhai has never had the ambition to expand, and uses most of the revenue for the protection of the sect and the cultivation of more exotic flowers and plants.

Because Lian Fangzhai has never posed a threat to the surrounding forces, or carved up the cake of other sect families, and although most of the sects are beautiful and look at young female cultivators, they do not use this as a means to marry or win over other forces. Once a woman in the sect has feelings for a man and wants to become a Taoist couple, Lian Fangzhai will not interfere. It's just that after the disciples in the sect get married, they have no connection with the sect, and they have their own destiny in life and death. Even when her mother-in-law's family was wiped out, Lian Fangzhai would not seek justice for her former disciples. This attitude of always being indisputable with the world has made Lianfangzhai one of the few places that is not subject to the rain and wind of the rivers and lakes.

Every year, countless peasant monks and medicine monks go to Lianfangzhai to worship or seek medicine. With the fame of the sect, the people of Mercy Fangzhai have no time to deal with the warriors who come to worship the mountain gate every day. Therefore, a feast is held on the twenty-fifth day of the first month of each year. On this day, female warriors who want to apprentice under the Lianfang Zhai Sect can go to the Lianfang Valley to participate in the selection of disciples.

And all the male martial arts cultivators who feasted on this day, if they can stand out, although they have no chance to enter the sect to cultivate, they can get a great opportunity from Lian Fangzhai. Most of the warriors who come here are not delusional about this one-in-a-million opportunity, but more hope that they can make a certain fairy heart move on the feast, and they can really pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. In the past years, many talented people married beautiful women, and there were legendary stories of lovers and beautiful women, and even overshadowed the gifts of the leader who should be the envy and jealousy of all warriors.

Yun Xuelan and Rin Tan arrived in Baihua Town on the twenty-second day of the first month. Although this place is called Baihua Town, it has gradually formed a large-scale city because of its proximity to Lianfangzhai. Most of the shops in the city are dominated by flowers or robes, accessories or beauty objects favored by female warriors. After the two entered the city, they looked for a place to stay, and walked all the way along the way, looking at the overcrowded shops, and the female martial arts who couldn't take their eyes off when they stared at their favorite objects, and used the fairy money as a goose egg by the stream, Yun Xuelan's long sigh did not stop. The easiest thing in the world to make is women's money.

Rin Tan, who has always been as cold as ice, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw so many female martial arts cultivators, and the arrogance that they did not lose to men in the slightest when they regarded money as dung. Although the young man's body exudes a cold aura that no one can approach, this cold face can attract the sideways glances of many young female warriors, and the eye waves are autumn waves. What's more, Rin Tan was also followed by Yun Xuelan with a sickly yellow face. The young man whispered a few words to the young man next to him from time to time, and glanced at the woman who was staring at Rin Tan's eyebrows and flirtatious, and his demeanor became more and more frivolous and obscene under the icing on the cake of this face, making those women Wu Xiu who had been seen by Yun Xuelan feel as uncomfortable as if they had been touched by dirty things, and their disgust was not concealed.

Although there is a backdrop of clouds and snow, Rin Tan looks more and more extraordinary. But in the eyes of outsiders, if you can be in the company of this kind of person with yellow face and thin muscles and indecent behavior, it must be a raccoon dog, and I can't help but feel a little disappointed in Lian Tan in my heart.

Yun Xuelan saw that these warriors who were comparable to fairies in the eyes of ordinary people turned from surprise to joy to sadness, and couldn't help laughing, "Presumably Brother Jiang Yu, you turned a blind eye to these fairies and broke people's hearts." If you just secretly wipe your tears in the middle of the night and feel sad that you are really guilty. But if you hurt your heart because of this, your Dao heart will be dusty, your avenue will be damaged, and your martial arts will be hopeless, then Brother Jiang Yu, your cause and effect will be a bit big. ”

Facing the ridicule of the young man, Rin Tan had a rare intention to laugh. He pursed his lips, showing a little regret on his face, "How can I compare to the charm of the young master." These fairies must be ashamed of themselves when they see the handsome face of the young master, and they will hate themselves for being a vulgar fan who is not worthy of the handsomeness of the young master, so they are sad one by one, complaining that their father and mother have failed to give birth to a handsome appearance worthy of the young master's respect. Saying that, the young man in black also pretended to take a serious look at Yun Xuelan's face and praised it.

Yun Xuelan pressed one hand against her eyebrows, touched the skin on her face with the other, and sighed heavily, "Everyone in the world is superficial, and they only covet my beauty, but they don't know that I am also rich and rich." He shook his head as he spoke.

While the two were talking and laughing, they had led their horses to the door of an inn called Juxionglou on the corner of the street. After Yun Xuelan and Rin Tan entered the city, they first went to inquire about the largest inns in the city, but they were told by the shopkeeper that the rooms were booked out a few days ago. Even some of the warriors who came here were in the inn of the city to welcome the new year. Fortunately, there is a kind-hearted shopkeeper who said that he has a friend who has a good relationship and opened an inn on Antler Street, because the location is a little remote, there may be some vacant rooms left. Only then did Yun Rin and the others come here according to the instructions of the shopkeeper.

Although the inn is called Juxiong Building, its exterior and interior have nothing to do with this domineering name. The inn was a small three-story building made of gray stone, and looking up at the windows from the street, it was inferred that the ceilings of each room were very low, and they were not as spacious and comfortable as the rest of the inns in the city.

The guy in the shop was a teenager about the same age as Yun Xuelan, with a white sweat towel with some oil stains on his shoulder. The young man was sitting on a bench near the door on the first floor of the inn, knocking melon seeds, and the melon seed shells fell all over the bench, and even the young man had a few in his shoes.

Seeing two people leading their horses to the door, the young man's eyes lit up. In this Great Xia, no matter when and where, the person who can drive the horse, even if it is a retired military horse or a horse leased by a chariot and horse dealer, his identity is either rich or expensive.

"Shopkeeper, a distinguished guest is here. The young man yelled behind the counter, and at the same time jumped off the bench, pulled his shoes and smiled at Yun Xuelan and Rin Tan. Before the two of them could react, the guy took the reins from the hands of the two of them very neatly and walked towards the back of the inn, "Don't worry, the two guest officers, we have good forage in the store." ”

At the same time, from behind the counter came a somewhat thin middle-aged man. The temples are already a little gray, but the spirit is still very strong. The shopkeeper, who looked like the shopkeeper with three or four points like the shopkeeper, walked to Yun Xuelan and Rin Tan with a smile, his eyes rolled and quickly looked at the two, and then he smiled at Rin Tan: "It just so happened that the two guest officers came, and there were only two rooms left in the shop. If you come later, I'm afraid you will be booked by others. ”

While speaking, the shopkeeper respectfully introduced Rin Tan into the room, but did not pay attention to Yun Xuelan, who was regarded as his entourage. The shopkeeper looked at the melon seed shells all over the ground, and scolded and said what the little rabbit cub saw if I didn't break your legs, and swept the melon seed shells all over the ground into a pile with his feet. After clearing the road, the shopkeeper smiled at the other person with a weak heart, "Don't worry, the guest room must be clean." ”

The shopkeeper was about to go back to the back of the counter and make a slight registration in the account book, when another voice came from the door, "The shopkeeper has three empty rooms." ”

Hearing that the voice was a little familiar, Yun Xuelan and Rin Tan turned around at the same time to follow the voice, but saw the three young warriors who had met on the ferry in Yuhai City before, a woman, two men, and three young warriors, who spoke were the young man surnamed Liu, who was extremely sleek and sophisticated.

Seeing Yun Xuelan and Rin Tan, the three of them were also stunned. The woman surnamed Jin looked away from Yun Xuelan and Rin Tan in disgust, in her eyes, no man in the world was as good as her Senior Brother Liu. Another martial artist surnamed Chen, who did not deal with the young man surnamed Liu, only nodded to Yun Rin and the others, in his opinion, both of them were Ding Ye's entourage, and they were not worthy of his attention.

"It so happened that the two of them were also here, so presumably the Lord Ding Gongzi was also in the store. I hit it off at first sight with Ding Gongzi on the ferry, but the conversation was still unfinished, but today I can make up for Liu's regrets. The young man surnamed Liu still behaved decently, but he looked around looking for the black felt hat boy as he spoke.

"He parted ways with us. Yun Xuelan was already surprised by the faces of the three people, and turned to look at the shopkeeper after a little politeness.

At this time, the shopkeeper smiled a little embarrassedly at the three people who entered the store later: "Three guest officers, there are only three rooms left in the shop, and these two guest officers each need one, so there is only one empty room left." As he spoke, he looked at Yun Xuelan and Rin Tan.

The young man in black didn't pay attention to the boss's words, took out the silver from his bosom and put it on the table, "Take us to the room and prepare some food and hot water." ”

Before the shopkeeper could answer, the woman surnamed Jin spoke: "The two of them can arrange to go to the firewood room." There are three rooms left, and the three of us are exactly one room per person. So saying, he walked to the counter, took a piece of silver from his purse, and put it on the counter, closer to the shopkeeper. It's just that the size of this silver is not as big as the thirty percent given by Rin Tan before.

The three people at the counter frowned at the same time, and the boss forced the displeasure in his heart and smiled: "This fairy should not be embarrassed." These two guests came earlier than you and have already paid more. As he spoke, he reached out and took the silver ingot that Rin Tan had taken out.

As soon as the shopkeeper's hand was stretched out, the woman surnamed Jin swept the silver taken out by the black-clothed young man to the ground, "I want this room." Your master is not there, and there is no one to stand up for you, so you can live in a firewood house. Between the words, it seems that he is the master of the two in front of him.

Yun Xuelan pulled the sleeve of the black-clothed young man who was about to make a move, he turned his head and looked at the woman surnamed Jin with a smile, and said with great sincerity: "It's better to be like this, Brother Liu and Brother Chen each live in a room, and the money for the room will be paid by us." Miss Jin will be in the same room with the two of us at night, and the Spring Festival will not disappoint the beautiful woman for a moment. ”

"Bastard!" The woman surnamed Jin was angry, raised her hand and slapped Yun Xuelan, with a "snap", but she saw the woman covering her face, and a few blood marks could be seen between her fingers.

The woman covered her face a little dazedly, she was clearly a slap to the yellow-faced person before, but for some reason she slapped her face hard in the end, and she didn't see Yun Xuelan and the young man in black make the slightest movement.

"What do you mean, girl?" Yun Xuelan's eyes widened, "Could it be that she heard about what happened with me tonight and couldn't believe it, so she slapped herself to prove that it was true and not a dream?" It's just that Miss Jin is a little heavy on herself, and she has slapped this beautiful face, and tonight will be a little unpleasant." Why don't you save your strength and shoot harder at the two of us tonight?"

The guy who had just tied the horse heard Yun Xuelan's rude mockery when he entered the inn through the back door, and the young man couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he was glared at by the shopkeeper, so he had to bow his head and cover his mouth.

It seemed that she was slapped by herself, so that the woman surnamed Jin couldn't figure out the depth of Yun Xuelan, and she didn't dare to act rashly against Yun Xuelan for a while, so she counted the previous humiliation on the young man who had just entered the store. She grabbed the silver she had just placed on the counter, injected her vitality and threw it at the young man who was snickering with his head down.

The young guy and the middle-aged shopkeeper open their mouths wide. "Ah" was a miserable scream, but the sound did not come from the shopkeeper who was covering his eyes and frowning in an attempt to cover his ears and steal the bell, but from the young man surnamed Chen who was standing at the main entrance of the inn. The latter was crouching on the ground, also covering his eyes with his hands.

"Senior Brother Chen. ”

"Senior Brother Chen. ”

The woman surnamed Jin screamed in surprise, but she was stunned on the spot and didn't know what to do. The hand of the young man surnamed Liu on the shoulder of his companion was also vigorously thrown away by the latter. The young man surnamed Chen slowly removed his hands from his face, and a blood-stained silver half-inlaid in the bloody right eye socket of the young man. The young man slowly raised his head and looked at the woman with his only remaining left eye, no longer the fiery admiration and jealousy on the ferry, but more like a demon exposed to the hot sun, resentful and hideous.

Seeing the eyes of the young man surnamed Chen, the woman surnamed Jin grabbed her trembling blue and purple lower lip with her fingertips, and stumbled back two steps. As if thinking of something, she pointed at Yun Xuelan sadly, "It's him, he did it." He turned around and pointed to Rin Tan, who was standing still, "No, it's him, he must have done it." ”。 Then he looked at the shopkeeper who was still blindfolded with his hands, "No, it's him, it's his hand." Then he knelt on the ground with a thud, and pointed to the shopkeeper tremblingly, "It's him, it's him who killed you." It's not me, it's not me. Shaking his head hysterically, the hairpin fell out and his hair was scattered, but like the young man surnamed Chen, he became a pair of hateful ghosts.

Yun Xuelan turned her head and playfully glanced at the young warrior surnamed Liu, who was pale but didn't say a word, and then looked at the crazy woman sitting on the ground, and shook her head with some regret, "The heart is not ruined, and the wolf is disgusted, don't worry, treat the fool for mercy." ”
