The next day, at dawn.

There was an angry roar from His Excellency the Green Brick Building, "Little mongrel, dare to occupy Lao Tzu's place, you really have eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, don't hurry up and come down and kowtow to your Grandpa Hu to confess, otherwise you will be cramped and skinned today, and you will not die well!"

With a squeak, Sima Yuan opened the door to greet the guests, looking calm.

The arrogant handyman outside the building was scolding, and when he saw Sima Yuan coming out, he immediately ran to the side of the person behind him.

"Brother-in-law, this is the person, not only did he occupy the pavilion you gave to our sister, but he even asked my little sister to sleep last night. Is it tolerable or unbearable, such a ferocious and vicious person deserves to be cut by a thousand knives and suffer the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart!"

Sima Yuanfu noticed the man at the beginning, the figure was handsome, his long hair was fluttering, and he seemed to have a feminine aura, and he was shaking the feather fan gently, looking at Sima Yuan with a smile.

Before Sima Yuan could speak, the man said softly, "Occupying my pavilion and intending to occupy the little master and Taoist couple are unheard of in this Zijin Courtyard. Boy, you're new here, aren't you?"

Sima Yuan's expression was slightly solemn, although that person didn't look like a normal person, but his hidden strength was not false at all, his person's spirit was full, full and round, and his aura was invisibly swinging enough to take off the fallen leaves a few zhang away, and he had reached the peak of the fourth layer of qi refining!

A strong man in the middle stage of Qi refining!

Sima Yuan never thought that he would provoke such a strong opponent when he first arrived, and he took the initiative to provoke trouble and lure him, he smiled slightly bitterly, this time he picked up a stone and smashed his foot.

He took a deep breath and hugged his fists, "When I first came to Xianshan, I didn't know the etiquette, so I rashly asked to see him, and I looked at Haihan!"

The man snorted, the smile suddenly dissipated, and the feather fan in his hand had just been put away, and the corners of Sima Yuan's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly dodged.

At the same time, a figure slowly appeared on his side, and the figure of the person in place was gradually blurred, and it shattered like glass in an instant.

Sima Yuan was on guard as if he was facing a great enemy, and when he heard the man laugh, "Since you brought me out, you have to bear the consequences." ”

Before the words fell, Sima Yuan felt that a strong wind was blowing in front of his face, and it was sudden and unguardable.

At the critical moment, Sima Yuan shouted, did not retreat, but advanced, and replaced defense with offense.

Straight at the fist in front of him.

Boom!!!

The sound of fists colliding with the ground and cracking bones resounded in all directions of the pavilion, and two muffled snorts sounded almost at the same time, and then the body retreated.

The man glanced at the bulging pouch in his fist, the hideous phalanx were clearly visible, the flesh was open and blooming, and the blood was not stopping.

He smiled slightly, and with a slight touch of his left hand, as if a dust had been applied, the wound recovered with an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye, but the moment of breathing returned to the same.

Sima Yuan's face was ugly, the bones in his hands protruded, and the pain of the broken heart surged like a tide, although he had the elixir, but he was in a strange place, but he didn't dare to take it out rashly. Only divide the mind, control the spiritual power in the body to surround the wound, and slowly heal and recover.

The man sneered when he saw this, "It's a bit of strength, since that's the case, then the master will play with you." ”

Before the words fell, the person rushed over again before Sima Yuan was healed, and his momentum was even better than Fang Cai, almost crushing Sima Yuan,

"Give you some color, and you will be a rainbow, it's really boring!"

Immediately, a huge momentum burst in, and at the same time, the brilliance in his hand flashed, and the dazzling three-foot long sword came into Sima Yuan's eyes.

The sword light flew and raged, the sword qi swept around, setting off the fallen leaves and rolling upside down, and the awe-inspiring momentum made Sima Yuan's face change greatly, and he retreated again and again.

The other party has a killing intent!

The other party was getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, he ran in front of Sima Yuan, in danger, and it could be called the only line of life and death!

At this critical moment, an angry shout exploded in the ears of the two,

"Stop !!"

Under Sima Yuan's heart, the person who came stepped on the treetops, breathed, and before he was close, he pushed out a palm at the feminine young man, and then quickly pressed down, and in the unwilling eyes of the other party, the vertical and horizontal sword qi like a storm was pressed together until it collapsed, and it disappeared in an instant.

The scene was suddenly clear, and there was no sword qi killing intent.

After the feminine young man saw the visitor, his face suddenly became gloomy as water, "Senior Brother Yuan, what does this mean, this person invades my pavilion, deceives my brother, and even wants to bully my wife and concubine, does Senior Brother want to shield such a rebellious person?"

At the beginning, Sima Yuan was branded as a wrongdoer who did not respect the law of etiquette and had bad intentions, and Sima Yuan felt a chill in his heart, and sure enough, none of the cultivators were simple people.

The person who came had a rough face, but he was as calm as a mountain, and after looking at the feminine young man, he said in a deep voice, "The reason for the matter is not yet known, and the junior brother does not need to be so determined." Today, I did not come to provoke, but on the orders of the master of the courtyard, I took this son away. ”

The Taoist surnamed Yuan pointed at Sima Yuan and said, "The master of the courtyard suspects that he is a spy of another faction and wants to find out." Do you want to stop it?"

The feminine young man's face was cloudy and uncertain when he heard this, although his background was strong, but after all, he was not as close to the water as this person. As the attendant of the courtyard master, this surnamed Yuan naturally flourished in this sect courtyard, and he was far from being comparable to the children of the Shu clan who wanted to make merit.

He suddenly smiled and flicked his sleeves, "Since it is called by the master of the courtyard, then the junior brother will not bother." ”

After saying that, he took the miscellaneous steward and left in a dashing manner.

Sima Yuan glanced at the feminine young man, his breathing was as free as if he was flowing with clouds and water, without any stagnation, this person's city was the best among the people Sima Yuan had seen.

He secretly said that if this son is not eliminated as soon as possible, he will be a great enemy in the future!

The indifference in the eyes of the Taoist surnamed Yuan decreased slightly, turned to look at him, and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."

Sima Yuan followed silently and did not say a word very rationally.

After a moment, there seemed to be a hint of intent.

The man seemed to be aware of it, waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you will answer whatever the master asks later, and tell the truth." ”

Sima Yuan's heart sank, the courtyard master really wanted to see him! Could it really be that he was suspected of being a spy of another faction? Could it be because of the miscellaneous servant status given by the immortal master surnamed Cao, which attracted the suspicion of the courtyard master?

He hesitated a little, "Thank you Senior Brother for the rescue!"

Senior Brother Yuan didn't look back and said, "Actually, I came a long time ago."

Sima Yuan choked suddenly, not knowing how to interface.

Next, the two of them didn't say anything all the way, and after turning a few towering pavilions and noisy halls, they marched for half an hour before they reached their destination.

"It's here".

Sima Yuan's eyes were surprised, but he saw that what fell into Sima Yuan's eyes was an island in the middle of the lake, where the fairy geese swam freely, scratching their heads and tails, showing all kinds of charms;

Sima Yuan said secretly, it turned out to be an island within an island. The mountain is surrounded by a lake, and the island sits in the lake, and the island also has a heart, and the heart is hidden.

This Zijin Courtyard really lives up to its name.

The sound of the piano stopped for a while, and the disciple surnamed Yuan bowed down from the other side, "Master of Qiqi Academy, Sima Yuan has been brought." ”

The ethereal clear voice floated across the lake, slowly coming, echoing in Sima Yuan's ears, "Come here."

After Sima Yuan glanced at the disciple surnamed Yuan, he saw that his face was expressionless, and his expression seemed to be a little.... Complex?

His heart moved, and then he looked at the different depths of the lake, this shore was a hundred feet away from the small Zhu in the middle of the lake, and he understood that this might be the test given to him by the master of the courtyard!

Only by showing his hand in front of the master of the courtyard can he get his attention.

So Sima Yuan's face suddenly became resolute, his fists were clenched, and after taking a deep breath, he shouted, and his mana was drumming in response, and he was ready to fly.

I saw him jump up and jump forward.

And then there was a pop.

Sima Yuan fell into the lake and swam over in a hurry.

Only the disciple surnamed Yuan was left dumbfounded.

.............

A small building in the middle of the lake, on the stone steps outside the court, Sima Yuan trembled.

The weather in February has not been resolved, although the Zijin Courtyard is warm as spring, but the lake has not yet recovered, and Sima Yuan has not yet reached the point where the cold and heat will not invade.

A light laugh came, which lifted Sima Yuan's spirits, "Come in."

As soon as the words fell, Sima Yuan flashed into the building, and when the cold and temperature alternated, he couldn't help but shiver and yawn.

Immediately, a gust of incense blew by, like the scorching sun and warm sun, drying Sima Yuan's soaked body, like being in a furnace, steaming.

After a few moments, Sima Yuan recovered as before, and his whole body seemed to be washed and refreshed.

He immediately leaned down and thanked him, "The disciple bows to the master."

At this point, the other party obviously released his kindness, and he understood that the owner of the courtyard was definitely not suspicious of him, but he didn't know why he was fortunate to have his eyes down, and he couldn't understand it.

When Sima Yuan entered the building, there was a bang behind him, and the door slammed shut and fell into darkness.

After a while, the candlelight in the house suddenly lit, bright and magnificent, like day.

Immediately, there seemed to be a flash of spiritual light around him, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The clear sound is coming again, coming down from the upstairs, like a ghost in the empty valley, although no one has been seen, but with this fairy sound is enough to make people reverie,

"Do you have a grudge against the Xiao family?"

Sima Yuan's heart froze, he didn't know what he meant, he didn't dare to speak rashly, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his head and said,

"In the disciple's hometown, the Xiao family once bullied the disciple and his relatives, and several times the disciple was in danger, and the disciple had to resist and protect his relatives. ”

The courtyard master chuckled lightly, and said casually, "That Xiao family child will go to Shangzong in a few days to visit his own ancestor, once he is recognized by his ancestor, he can ascend to the sky in one step and become the true inheritance of the sect, let alone revenge at that time, I am afraid that you will not be able to protect yourself." ”

Sima Yuan was shocked, his eyes were both shocked and envious, but also gloomy and embarrassed, half depressed and half silent.

The courtyard master smiled slightly, and said lightly, "But you're afraid?"

Sima Yuan's mind was racing fast, and the other party pointed out his grudge with the Xiao family when he opened his mouth, and explained the background behind him, which was nothing more than two reasons, either to inform Sima Yuan that he knew his background and had important things to order, or to ask him to retreat in the face of difficulties.

But after thinking about it for a while, he rejected the second thought, the other party is a dignified foundation, if you want to stop him without having to go so hard, you must have something to ask.

He had a little understanding, and after being silent for a while, his face showed decisiveness, "What does the courtyard master command, although he said bluntly, although the disciple is not good, it is not a problem to kill a Xiao Chengzu." ”

The smile was even happier, "Three days later, the north of Zijin Lake will look at Dao Peak. ”

Sima Yuan comprehended, "The master of the courtyard can rest assured, the disciple will definitely live up to the high expectations of the master!"

After leaving the small building in the middle of the lake, Sima Yuan arrived at the opposite shore in a small boat, and the senior brother surnamed Yuan changed his smile, "Senior brother, but you have what you need, just open your mouth." ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Sima Yuan hugged his fists and smiled, "There is Senior Brother Lao."

Later, Sima Yuan was arranged to live in a secret small building, and Sima Yuan unceremoniously ordered a table of good dishes and feasted on it.

When Senior Brother Yuan was leaving, he said, "Please prepare a map of the surrounding terrain for Senior Brother Yuan, as well as hidden things. ”

The man seemed to be prepared, and with a smile, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, "This is a storage bag, I guess my junior brother knows how to use it, it has everything you need." ”

Sima Yuan thanked him with a smile, and after he left, his smile slowly converged until it was cloudy and uncertain.

The owner of the courtyard personally invited, ordinary people may be flattered and grateful, but Sima Yuan is not a child of three or two years old, so he naturally knows that pie will not fall from the sky.

And the other party showed favor to him, apparently treating him as a knife, cutting off the opponent and then throwing it away.

He sneered, "It seems that he wants me to die with the Xiao family."

To get back to the point, no matter how angry Sima Yuan was, but at the same time, he was secretly glad that since he had a handle in the hands of the courtyard master today, if he could survive by luck, he might be able to attach to his tail and rise to the sky in the future.

It depends on the comparison of the strength of the two sides in the future.

Today she is strong, I am willing to be a chess piece, if I am prosperous in the future, I may not be able to become a chess player.
