Chapter 2: Another Sword

Qingxuan Mountain, Lotus Peak.

On this day, under the mountain gate of Lotus Peak, it was rare for several peak masters of other peaks to come.

Rao is platform silently ordered that men are not allowed to enter the peak, and the disciples on duty still dare not slack off in the face of this kind of battle, and hurriedly prepare to report to the elders above.

It's just that the female disciple who reported has not yet run out a few steps, and a leisurely sound came from up and down the Lotus Peak.

"A few senior brothers are here today, I don't know what the important thing is?"

"Sect Master, do you know what you've done?" the hot-tempered Dique Peak Peak Lord yelled into the air.

"What did you do?" The result was a red-robed echo that was neither salty nor light.

"You still dare to ask me, can you know what you did?" replied strongly.

"I don't know. Tantai said lightly.

"You!"

"Okay, okay, Senior Brother Lei, don't be angry," an old man in a purple robe looked into the air, his face a little complicated and said, "Senior Sister Lantai, after all, you are now in charge of the Qingxuan Sect, and many things should also be taken into account of the overall situation, don't be too petty." ”

"Got it," he still replied lightly, but finally paused slightly, "You guys go back to Qingfeng, I'll be there later." ”

Several purple-robed real people looked at each other silently, and then nodded.

As a result, several real people waited in the main hall of Lanqing Peak for a long time, and the blue tendons on the forehead of the Lord of Lei Feng were beating, and he was about to have a seizure, and a leisurely voice came from a distance.

"Several senior brothers have been waiting for a long time. ”

Lord Lei Feng scolded as soon as he opened his mouth: "You also call his mother to come later, we have to wait for half a day?"

Tantai muted tit-for-tat: "You are also submerging your cultivation qi when you return to the peak, and you can do it for a few years like a king, and you can't help it for half a day?"

"You ......"

"Alas, I'm sleepy," Shizun yawned, "Alright, you guys want to say what I have to say." ”

"We're waiting for you, but you're sleeping!" Lord Lei Feng seemed to be on rampage again.

"Say it or not, don't say I'm leaving," Yutai pouted silently and glanced at everyone's purple robes indifferently.

"Let me ask you, what's going on with those two swords in the Demon Suppression Tower?" said the peak master of Tianzhu Peak in a calm voice.

Yutai silently held his chin and glanced at everyone, before he spoke: "My genius apprentice is out of the territory, so naturally it is a little more helpful." ”

"Nonsense, Qing Xuanchuang has never had a disciple who has been able to summon two swords. Lord Lei Feng glared at her fiercely.

"Hey, others can't, who said that my silent disciple can't?" The red robe leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and his red lips were slightly curled.

"Can you not blow it, those two swords are among the top ten famous weapons!" Lord Lei Feng continued to blow his beard and glare.

Yutai Silent explained reasonably: "That shows that my apprentice's qualifications are extraordinary. ”

“...... We can still understand the Swallow Wu Sword, but that Red Zhao Sword is really ......" The Peak Master of Tianzhu Peak interjected, with a faint worry in his words.

Yutai Mute said disapprerovingly: "Hmph, that's also the sword spirit's willingness, can you manage it?"

The peak master of Tianzhu Peak hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Senior sister, you are honest, are you ......?"

"Hmph," Yutai snorted coldly, "You just take care of your own business, you are really idle, and you still have my mind to take care of my business." ”

“...... We're not good for you!" Lord Lei Feng couldn't help it, and he jumped like thunder again.

"Okay, okay, my business, I'm measured. If nothing else, I'll go back. Yutai silently glanced at several peak masters, shook off his red robe, turned around and left.

"It's really, it's annoying to have a little, and it's not allowed to get a good night's sleep. ”

The peak masters looked at her back, and had nothing to say, they looked at each other, but only sighed slightly.

The autumn moon hangs high.

The town is deserted, and the night market is not thriving. Chen Mingye took Xiaohong for a walk, saw some fresh things, and then went to the south of the city.

The cloth shop in Xiao Er's mouth has not yet closed, and the business is indeed good.

Chen Mingye carefully selected a few Luo clothes and wanted to try them for Xiaohong, but Xiaohong shook her head and refused to change.

"Why, don't you like these beautiful clothes?" Chen Mingye said with some surprise, he thought that from the old lady to the little girl, he couldn't escape the yearning for beautiful clothes.

"Xiaohong doesn't want it, Xiaohong has her own skirt to change. The little girl shook her head, looking determined.

Chen Mingye said helplessly: "Then is it okay to buy you some thick robes? The colder the day gets, how can you only wear a skirt." ”

Xiaohong hesitated slightly before nodding: "Okay then." ”

Chen Mingye picked out a few pink and white thick jackets for her to wear outside, and said with a smile: "Do you want to try it?"

Xiaohong seems to like a pink snow fox cotton coat, take it and put it on, wrap it on her body and match it with a red flower pleated skirt embroidered with hibiscus auspicious clouds, it is really like a porcelain doll, pink carved jade, really cute.

"It's very good-looking, I bought it. Chen Mingye made up his mind, paid two taels of silver to the shopkeeper, and packed a few pieces of clothes together.

"Little junior brother, don't you buy clothes yourself?" Xiaohong tilted her head to look at him.

"No need," Chen Mingye shook his head, "Let's go, I'll take you around again." ”

"Uh-huh," Red nodded obediently.

So Chen Mingye took Xiaohong, carried the clothes he bought, staggered all the way and visited some stalls, Chen Mingye specially bought some candy, so that the little girl could use it for recreation when she was bored.

When he returned to the inn, Xiao Mo was gone, and Chen Mingye didn't care, and took Xiaohong upstairs.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day dawn naturally continued to hurry.

Chen Mingye planned to say hello to Xiao Mo before leaving, but he didn't expect to see no one after breakfast, so he had to call Xiao Er and ask him to call Xiao Mo to help carry a sentence, and he led the brown horse, took Xiaohong to turn over and get on the horse, and traveled north all the way.

On the way north, the scenery of Jingchu is quite magnificent, Xiaohong has candy to accompany her along the way, and Xiaozui has never stopped.

Although Chen Mingye rejected Xiao Mo's invitation, he really had to pass through Yunmengze to the north, and he couldn't help but think of going to Yueyang to see the lake.

With this in mind, there was no further hesitation. Chen Ming turned his horse and walked quickly all the way to Yueyang City.

Yueyang City is located on the bank of Yunmengze, it is a good place to see the lake, there are high-rise buildings built in the city, and visitors are weaving, vying to visit.

The building is dozens of zhang high, go up to the hundred heavy pavilions, see the landscape at a glance, there are countless literati in the pavilion in the pavilion to stay here in the ink of the previous dynasty, the stream is endless, this sentence is remarkable.

Chen Mingye took the little red horse for nearly 100 miles, and when he entered the city, it was almost dusk.

He has always been dressed up, and Xiaohong was quite displeased at first, but fortunately, Chen Mingye coaxed him several times, but he didn't make any more trouble. Entering the city at this moment, there are naturally no waves.

Yueyang City is located in a prosperous area, although the area is not too large, but in terms of liveliness, it is far more lively than Anshun City, the capital of southern Xinjiang.

Chen Mingye took Xiaohong to find a place to live, put in the horses and bags, and took her all the way to the high pavilion that was full of the world.

It's getting late, but the night market in Yueyang City has just begun.

The candles lit up all over the city flickered a red glow, and the bright moon slowly rising in the sky reflected each other.

Xiaohong was attracted by the colorful fancy goods along the street for a while, and she was about to listen to it after taking two steps, Chen Mingye couldn't help but have a headache.

This little girl's cultivation is good, but after all, her mind is still too young.

"Little junior brother," Xiaohong's eyes lit up when she saw a small stall next to her, and she pulled Chen Mingye's sleeve, "Little junior brother, look at it!"

Chen Mingye looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be a stall selling fat powder that was doing the business of Guan Pu.

"Little junior brother, what are they playing?" Xiaohong looked curious and couldn't help asking.

Chen Mingye said lightly: "Gambling business is not a good thing, Xiaohong is not allowed to learn." ”

"Hee-hee, if it's not a good thing, why is everyone watching around, and there are several beautiful sisters who are so happy. Xiaohong was a little puzzled.

"Everyone is just having fun," Chen Mingye said with a smile, "It's like Xiaohong thinks it's fun to eat sweet candy, but they think it's better to eat sour and sour candy." ”

"Really?" said the little red general, "how can anyone like to eat sour tastes?"

"There are also people who like spicy things, some people like bitter things, the world is full of forms, and all beings have thousands of appearances. Chen Mingye smiled, "Where can I say a word." ”

"Hehe, then I'll take a look, okay?" Xiaohong looked at him pitifully.

Chen Mingye has a headache, if Xiaohong is still only arrogant, it will be easy to do, this little girl doesn't know when she learned to pretend to be pitiful and coquettish to him.

"Okay, let's see. Chen Mingye replied helplessly.

With his approval, Xiaohong jumped for joy, took his hand and rushed to the stall.

There were already a lot of people around the stall, and when they saw someone coming again, the hawker's expression became more and more excited, and he shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, take a look, with a small broad, the next lucky person is you!"

Little Red grinned, her big eyes wide open, staring at the hawker's movements without blinking.

Several people around placed bets, and the vendor shook the crockpot vigorously before slamming it open.

"Two pieces in front of the scene, it's a pity, do you want to fight?" the vendor sighed, but with a smile on his face, he took all the money bet by several people, and continued to ask with a smile.

"What does this mean?" Xiao Hongba looked at with a wink, a little puzzled.

Chen Mingye thought about it for a while, but still explained to him: "The engraving on the front of the copper coin is called the front of the curtain, and the back of the coin is called pure. The peddler puts several copper coins in a clay pot and shakes them, and if all the coins are finally tossed on the back, it is called "Hun Chun", and the bettor wins. ”

"That's it," Little Red's eyes lit up, "This is simple, Little Red has to play too!"

Chen Mingye was just about to open his mouth to refuse, but he didn't know that the vendor seemed to have been paying attention to this side, and immediately picked up Xiaohong's words: "Does the little girl want to play too, do you want to give it a try?"

Chen Mingye glanced at the vendor, and his gaze fell back on Xiaohong's body: "Xiaohong really wants to play?"

"Can you just play once?" Xiaohong looked up at him expectantly.

"Good. Chen Mingye nodded.

The hawker was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned: "This guest officer wants to pounce once, is there any guest officer who wants to be together?"

There were a lot of people around, but they were all hesitating and didn't start, as if they wanted to wait to see how lucky Chen Mingye was.

Seeing that there was no feedback, the vendor shook his head with some regret, then looked at Xiaohong and asked, "Little girl, what do you want from my stall, I'll give you an estimate, you can bet." ”

"Hmm," Xiao Hongshui's eyes swept around the stall, and finally turned her eyes to Chen Mingye for help, she opened her small mouth and asked softly, "Little junior brother, what do I want to choose?"

Chen Mingye said with a smile: "Aren't you quite assertive, you can choose what you like, and if you win, it means that you are lucky." ”

"Hee-hee, okay then. Xiao Hong's eyebrows bent, and he stretched out his little white finger to a carved silver hairpin on the stall, "I want to choose that!"

"Okay," the peddler smiled, stretching out two fingers to Xiaohong, "This silver box upside-down lotus hairpin is made of pure silver, expensive to build, exquisite craftsmanship, my price is one or two silver coins, if the girl wants to close the pounce bet, twenty copper coins will do." ”

Xiaohong looked at Chen Mingye with some confusion, she was born in Qingxuan since she was a child, and she didn't care about mundane silver money.

Chen Mingye glanced at the vendor, took out the copper coin and handed it to him: "Come on." ”

"Okay, the guest officer is really a cheerful person!" The hawker hurriedly took it, and took out five copper coins from it, and motioned to Chen Mingye to show it: "Don't worry, the guest officer will never cheat, how about using your five pennies?"

"Good. Chen Mingye nodded quietly.

The peddler threw the copper coin into the crockpot and made another gesture to the surrounding onlookers: "You are optimistic, you have never done anything, if there is no objection, I will start!"

"Hurry up!"

The peddler laughed: "Don't worry, this is the beginning." After saying that, I saw him holding the crockpot in both hands and shaking smartly, faintly forming a phantom in the air.

Xiaohong's eyes widened and she looked at the vendor's hand expectantly, waiting for the results to be revealed.

The corners of Chen Mingye's mouth were slightly hooked, and he also waited silently.

After a while, the vendor put the crockpot upside down on the stall, and the smug look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Xiaohong and said, "Is the little girl ready, I'm going to open it!"

"Hee-hee, let's go!" Xiaohong rubbed her hands excitedly.

"Okay, open!" the peddler's hand jerked up, the clay pot pulled out an exaggerated arc in the air, and under the gathered gaze of everyone, a few copper coins lay quietly on the stall.

The onlookers saw the copper coins on the table and let out an exclamation at the same time.

Without him, on the table, the five copper coins are all facing upwards on the back, which is pure muddy color.

The peddler's face turned pale, and the whole person looked at the desktop in disbelief, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, but in the end he didn't spit out a word.

"Yay!" Xiaohong also saw the copper coins on the table clearly, and with a coquettish cry, the whole small body happily threw herself into Chen Mingye's arms, "Little junior brother, I won!"

"See, Xiaohong is really amazing!" Chen Mingye hugged the little girl and said with a smile.

"This little girl's luck is really good!"

"yes, why don't we do it too!"

"That's right, taking advantage of this boss's bad luck, we may be able to hit a big luck too!"

For a while, the hands of several onlookers around were itching, and they couldn't help but want to pounce.

Chen Mingye glanced around lightly, and his eyes fell on the peddler: "Boss, I am willing to lose the bet, what about our prizes?"

The peddler looked at him deeply, smiled at him with a trembling face, stretched out his hand and handed the silver box upside down lotus hairpin, and handed it to Chen Mingye: "Brother, good luck." ”

"Haha, I also wish the boss a prosperous business tonight. Chen Mingye glanced around, "Look, how lively this business will be." ”

The peddler nodded: "Then it depends on Brother Jiyan." ”

Chen Mingye took Xiaohong out of the crowd, ignoring the boiling voices behind him, and continued to stroll gracefully.

Xiaohong played with the hairpin, and her little face was full of excitement: "Hehe, did the little junior brother win this hairpin for Xiaohong?"

Chen Mingye was stunned, "This was won by Xiaohong's luck?"

Xiao Hong glanced at him with a smile: "The little junior brother is not honest, do you think the senior sister doesn't know if you secretly use spiritual power?"

Chen Mingye slapped his forehead, this little girl. He had no choice but to say: "I don't want to do anything, but the boss is not honest first." ”

Xiaohong snorted, "These people are stupid, they know that they are going to be deceived and rush to be fooled." ”

Chen Mingye looked up at the sky: "Gamblers in the world, they always think that they will be favored by God, but they don't know that they will lose if they gamble for a long time." ”

Xiao Hongba blinked his eyes, looking at the little junior brother who was much taller than himself, and for the first time felt that the little junior brother seemed to be quite reasonable.
