"Ah...... Haha, I don't think so, I'm just kidding you. ”

Zhang Shaoyang snorted, as soon as he saw Xi Wan's expression, he didn't dare to provoke this aunt.

"Are you okay? ”

"Hey, don't, I'm not here to ease our relationship. ”

Xi Wan glared at him, and closed the door with a "bang", startling Zhang Shaoyang, who was hippie and smiling.

"I said Miss Xi, don't get angry, how to say that we have been together for more than half a year, the sunrise and sunset are cloudy, rainy and snowy, you see how good the sky is today. ”

There was no movement inside the door.

"Xi Wan, when do you say that we will be able to learn and succeed? If we both practice as Sword Immortals by then, will we respect you Xi Jianxian or me Zhang Jianxian in this world, and then we will inevitably score a victory." ”

"Hey, at that time, I can't do anything to you, a flower-like and kind-hearted girl. ”

Zhang Shaoyang muttered a lot outside the door, and Xi Wan in the room looked at the rising sun in the sky through the window, and a shallow smile gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she deliberately raised her volume: "It's you, you still want to be a sword immortal, shameless!"

Zhang Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, but he was in a very good mood, so he simply sat on the steps of the door, put the specially prepared pastry beside him, and ate it by himself.

"Then let's work hard, hey, I prepare so many pastries, you really don't eat a little?"

"Hey~ Such a delicious thing, I ate it alone, I really don't want to go, I'd better leave a little for Master. ”

"Squeak......

The door was opened, and Xi Wan stood at the door, and said angrily: "Since you came to apologize, let's show some sincerity." ”

Zhang Shaoyang smiled and pushed the pastry box to the side, Xi Wan also learned from Zhang Shaoyang to sit on the steps, picked up a piece of pastry, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Tastes good.

"Xi Wan, now it's your fire. ”

Xi Wan turned her head and muttered, "It's beautiful to think." ”

The two of them were left and right, each with a smile on their faces, and within a while, the pastries in the box were eaten, and they burped with satisfaction, Zhang Shaoyang turned over, stared at the broken pastry residues all over the ground, and sighed: "I also said that I would leave some for the master, now it's okay, it's all solved by the two of us, it's strange to say, the master doesn't know where to go, and he hasn't come back for so long." ”

"Do I still need to tell you where my predecessor went?"

......

Zhang Shaoyang didn't know what to say for a while, and after a long time, he had to smile bitterly: "I said Xi Wan, if you don't choke me, I can't do it." ”

Seeing that Xi Wan didn't speak, Zhang Shaoyang suddenly lost interest and asked casually: "Xi Wan, in your heart, do you also think that I don't know how to learn?"

As soon as he finished asking, Zhang Shaoyang laughed at himself: "You don't need to ask, I know that I have been used to it since I was a child, and everyone thinks so, so ah, there are not many more of you." ”

"Except for the fact that you don't accumulate virtue in your words, everything else is okay!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, Xi Wan's answer made him a little unexpected.

"Oh!"

——

When Yao Sanming returned to the inn, it was already noon, he didn't stop anything, called Zhang Shaoyang and Xi Wan to leave the guest room, and then under the leadership of Yao Sanming, they walked towards the west of Hongzhou City together.

As soon as he walked in this direction, Zhang Shaoyang guessed that it had something to do with the colorful screen last night.

"Master, what are you doing in the morning, there seems to be a wisp of cinnamon fragrance left on your body, is it ......?"

"Could it be that the old man went to Guizi Lane and learned something. ”

"Something to do with where we're going now?"

Yao Sanming nodded: "The old man said that he was going to get a good sword for Xi Yatou, but he couldn't break his promise." ”

"Are we going to Xiao Family Sword Village?"

"Hmm!"

After walking for a while, I entered the mountain, there was still some heat outside the mountain, and it was particularly cool when I arrived in the mountain, this area was called Lianyun Mountain, which means that it was connected like a cloud.

The mountain is not high, but it does not mean that it is not dangerous, some places are like straight cliffs split by knives and axes, one on top of the other, plus the trees in the mountain are luxuriant, there are more than ten zhang of large trees next to the trail, which is extremely deep, making this whole mountain seem mysterious.

"Master, this is the deep mountains and old forests, how can there be a Xiao Family Sword Village?" 31

Yao Sanming smiled faintly, different from Zhang Shaoyang's thoughts, after arriving here, after feeling the abundant aura here, he was even more convinced that the Xiao family was hidden in this mountain.

"Shaoyang, the old man will tell you a joke, when I went to the door, the Xiao family treated me like a plague god, and even the sword room was closed, for fear that I would snatch away their Xiao family's good sword. ”

"Hey, if you want me to say, the strength of this Xiao family is not comparable to the sword furnace, and it is normal to build so many good swords, and in the end they are all destroyed in the hands of their Xiao family, and their reputation is not as good as that of the sword furnace. ”

Zhang Shaoyang smiled and said, "If you want me to say that the Xiao family is doing the right thing, if you let you enter the sword room, then how can they have a share?"

"You kid, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and there is white dew in his hand, will the old man take a fancy to their Xiao family's freehand sword? So the old man concluded that if the Xiao family got something good, they would find such a hidden place to hide. ”

After walking along the trail for a while, I saw a corner of the house in the mountain in front of me in the distance, and the three of them were happy, and finally saw the hope of someone.

The road at their feet led to the house in the mountain, and the three of them quickened their pace, and before they had gone far, suddenly a woodcutter came out of the forest carrying two bundles of firewood.

Zhang Shaoyang hurriedly shouted at the woodcutter: "Big brother, wait for us." ”

When the woodcutter heard someone calling, he turned around suspiciously, and saw the three people standing behind him, all of whom were extraordinary, especially the girl, who was as beautiful as a flower, and at first glance she was the daughter of a big family.

The woodcutter was about forty years old, and the two bundles of firewood on his shoulders were seriously bent, and it seemed that he was at least nearly two hundred catties, but after the woodcutter stopped, he didn't plan to put the firewood down to rest for a while, but said lightly: "What are the three of you doing here?"

"I want to ask my eldest brother about something, is there a big family surnamed Xiao in this mountain?"

"Xiao family?" the woodcutter thought for a while and smiled innocently: "I have lived in this mountain for decades, and I have never heard of a family surnamed Xiao. ”

"Master, let me just say, there will definitely be no Xiao family in this mountain, are you old and have a bad memory. ”

"Bah, you kid is owed, looking for a fight?" Yao Sanming made a gesture and clenched his fist, and after scaring Zhang Shaoyang, he stopped the woodcutter who turned around to leave.

"This old man, do you know that there is a large family that moved to this mountain about ten years ago?"

"That's it!"

When the woodcutter heard Yao Sanming's question, he answered casually, and then pointed to another path: "After walking for another quarter of an hour, you can see it after passing the mountain in front." ”

"Thank you!"

"But what do you come to do with this family, this family is very powerful, they bought this whole mountain, and we are not allowed to come close, otherwise we will be beaten, I think, you better not provoke it. ”

"Oh, and this?" said Yao Sanming.

"But it's not, we people have lived here for generations, we were originally relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, there were originally more than ten families, since they came, the best mountains have been occupied, these people can't survive, so they have to move away, unconsciously, I'm the only one left!"

"But doesn't the government care?" said Zhang Shaoyang in an atmospheric manner.

"Hey, people are rich and powerful, and they bought this mountain again, and they have the title deed stamped by the government in their hands, and we people can't manage it. ”

Xi Wan said angrily: "These people are really hateful. ”

The woodcutter smiled innocently: "But I'm also used to it, I used to be able to go over there to dig some unique wild ginseng herbs, or hunt some wild things to sell on the market, and I can eat a few good meals in exchange for silver, but now I can only chop some firewood near here to sell, and I can exchange it for some silver, and I won't die of hunger." ”

Yao Sanming glanced at Zhang Shaoyang, Zhang Shaoyang immediately understood, and took out a string of copper coins from the baggage, about four or five hundred yuan, which is a huge amount of money for these woodcutters who can only sell a bundle of firewood for a few yuan.

When Zhang Shaoyang handed the copper coin to the woodcutter, the woodcutter waved his hand again and again: "How can this be made." ”

"Take it, and it's our reward for asking for directions. Yao Sanming said.

"Then you're welcome!" the woodcutter smiled, this string of money was enough for him to buy a lot of rice, oil, meat and vegetables.

"Brother, a curtain of color falls from the sky here every few nights, and you can see it as far away as Hongzhou, thirty miles away, I think I can see it more clearly here. ”

As soon as he heard Yao Sanming ask, the woodcutter suddenly became excited, and he opened the conversation and said: "What this old brother said is not true at all, just last night, that guy, the whole mountain was like daytime, but it was beautiful, and I didn't sleep all night when I was happy." ”

"You are not afraid of such a strange thing at all?" Yao Sanming asked with a look of surprise.

"Two years ago, I was scared at the beginning, but after so many years, there is nothing, so I am not very afraid, and the sky is like a rainbow bridge, anyone who sees it will feel that it is a fairy descending to earth, and they will not be afraid. ”

The woodcutter became more and more energetic, and then lowered his voice: "Let me tell you a strange thing secretly, I used to work the mountains every day, and I had a problem with back pain, but since the colorful curtain appeared two years ago, I have no problem, do you say it's magical?"

"It's amazing. ”

"That's not it, that's why I'm willing to stay in this mountain, and when the curtain falls, all kinds of diseases will disappear. ”

After chatting for a while, the woodcutter picked up Chai He again, and after saying goodbye to the three of them, he hummed a song and walked away, obviously in a very good mood today.

After the woodcutter left, Yao Sanming seemed to know everything, and asked lightly: "What do you think of what this woodcutter said?"

"It's interesting. ”

"yes, I think it's kind of fun. ”

"Fun? hehe, not really, follow the old man to see. ”
