In ancient times, bathing was a physical task.

There are no shower heads, no faucets, and you just have to fill the tub with water over and over again.

After being tired and half dead, Bai Maxiao finally got his wish and took a hot bath. From last night to now, my body is covered in blood and mud, and I can finally wash it well.

However, according to this complicated bathing process, it may take several days to wash it once in the future.

There is no bathroom here, and he and Nie Jianfeng put two bathtubs in the room to become a bathroom, and this feeling of being warm made the two of them feel as if they were back in the hot springs of the ukiyokan.

The Dongzhou War seems to be just yesterday, and it has not been stable for a few days before it has embarked on an inexplicable journey, but fortunately, there are no adventures arranged at present, and this kind of comfort can be regarded as a vacation for them.

If only Xiaoling could come along...... After two days of not seeing each other, Bai Maxiao finally realized what it means to be like three autumns.

"Old Nie, do you want to be quiet?"

"Nope. We're not as crooked as you are. Do you want Shiratori?"

"Hey...... What you don't get is the best. ”

His words were obviously aimed at Nie Ning and his wife, who were unmarried and pregnant, and Nie Jianfeng did not pay attention to him, but was distracted.

"You're proud, how do you feel when you see the lover of your dreams?"

Nie Jianfeng was stunned for a moment, "What dream lover?" I have always regarded her as a master. ”

"What's wrong with Master. Have you heard the story of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu?"

"......" Nie Jianfeng thought for a while and scolded, "Get out." ”

"I still have to remind you, don't be sorry for Xiao Jing, you are all about to become a father. ”

"Don't worry about it. Nie Jianfeng blurted out, and then whispered to himself, "She's my master......"

This Nie Jianfeng and Jianyin can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, seeing the miracle deity of their sect, Bai Ma Xiao is more and more aggrieved the more he thinks about it, he has nothing to do with Nangong Sword Sect, and he was inexplicably forced to be an apprentice and became the only victim.

Mu Fan died, and I was forced to apprentice, why is the face of my face so unlucky?

He suddenly felt that his title as the second senior brother was also very delicate, he was like Zhu Bajie, he was a special existence in the scripture-learning team.

I just wanted to be in Gao Laozhuang and Miss Gao for the rest of my life, and I never wanted to be forced to take the Western Meridian, and I was arguing along the way to share my luggage.

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, Tang Shanyu entered the room as if he had entered a no-man's land, and he did not panic when he saw the two people who were taking a bath, and said, "Two junior brothers, hurry up and finish washing and go down the mountain with me to buy something." ”

She didn't care, the two men were so frightened that they immediately shrank into the bucket, revealing only half of their heads.

Bai Ma Xiao scolded embarrassedly, "The man is taking a bath, why are you a woman coming in?!"

Tang Shanyu said angrily, "Senior Brother Wood, is there anything I haven't seen about you since I was a child?"

"It's like you raised me. "Obviously, this girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she looks like an old mother when she puts up a shelf.

"I'm your senior sister!" she reminded proudly, then looked at Nie Jianfeng, and suddenly blushed, "Third junior brother...... You wash slowly, not in a hurry. ”

Bai Ma Xiaoji was not convinced, and scolded, "Hot potato! You have special treatment! I will sue the master!"

Tang Shanyu's face sank, ran to his bath tub, and said angrily, "What do you call me?!"

Although Bai Ma Xiao was in the bathtub, the water was clear water, and the underwater scenery was unobstructed, he quickly shrunk into a ball, and said in a panic, "Big ...... Big Sister ......"

"I ask you, what did you just call my name?!"

Saying that, she was still pressing step by step, and Bai Maxiao retorted, "I'm from Tangshan, can't I speak with an accent?"

"You're a ghost Tangshan person!" Tang Shanyu put her hand into the water, picked up a handful of water and splashed it on Bai Maxiao's face, "If you are really from Tangshan, don't just pronounce your name with an accent!"

"I'm used to pronouncing names in dialects, why are I suing you for accent discrimination!"

Tang Shanyu couldn't find a rebuttal for a while, and turned away angrily.

"Be careful!" reminded the Soul Companion.

I saw that when she passed by the table, she suddenly picked up a teacup on the table and threw it at Bai Maxiao's head.

With the reminder of the soul couple, Bai Maxiao hurriedly shook his head to dodge, and the teacup smashed on the wall behind him, and it was instantly torn apart.

"Hmph!" missed the blow, and Tang Shanyu stomped his feet out.

Looking at the water stains on the wall and the debris all over the ground, Bai Maxiao exclaimed, "This girl is so ruthless." Her name is really right, it's just a hot potato! Whoever touches it is hot!"

"You'd better be careful. Nie Jianfeng shook his head helplessly, "The little girl has the best face." ”

was troubled by her, and the two hurriedly washed it and changed into the ancient costume with wide clothes and big sleeves she gave.

This dress is white, without patterns, very simple, only embroidered with a dragon and sword logo at the collar, which should be regarded as the school uniform of Nangong Sword Sect.

In the afternoon, the two of them accompanied Tang Shanyu down the mountain and went to Legang County by the sea to buy things.

Along the way, whether it was the official family, the shopkeeper or the passers-by who saw them, they all saluted them and greeted them.

It is said that the Nangong Sword Sect is declining, but the reputation in Legang County still seems to be very good.

It's no wonder that Fan Zhixian treated Bai Ma Xiao as Mu Fan that day, so he let him go so readily, and the whole town seemed to be very friendly to the people of Nangong Sword Sect.

Especially Tang Shanyu is like a different person in front of these people, from a hot potato to a fragrant dumpling, along the way she met at least seven or eight aunts who wanted to introduce her to her in-laws, and almost every store she patronized had to give her a discount, but she was also smiling all the way, kind and natural, and completely inconsistent with the image of the arrogant and arrogant wild girl who loved to do it before, it was like two people.

They brought three food boxes, went to several restaurants, and bought their signature dishes. Tang Shanyu is very experienced, knows where the restaurant is most famous for what dishes, and even some dishes are bought from an inconspicuous stall on the side of the road, and the three of them have almost visited the entire Legang County in the afternoon.

I heard that it was very tiring to accompany girls shopping, and Bai Maxiao experienced it for the first time, and when he went back, his waist was about to break.

"Isn't it the little bishop surnamed Ding, as for buying so many vegetables?" Bai Maxiao carried a food box in one hand, swaying left and right on the mountain road, quite like a duck that had been dried in the sun.

Tang Shanyu also said reluctantly, "No way, Master said that he is a distinguished guest, and it is related to the life and death of the entire Nangong Sword Sect, it is difficult for me to keep smiling at him since I was a child." ”

"Can that junior brother of yours be able to endure him?" Bai Ma Xiao asked without thinking, and after seeing her strange eyes, he quickly changed his words, "I mean, how could I endure it before, that guy is so annoying!"

"Of course you can't bear it, if you weren't beaten half to death by Master every time, how could you endure it?"

Bai Ma Xiao began to understand why Mu Fan had escaped so many times, a master and a senior sister were all violent maniacs.

How many beatings has Mu Fan suffered since he was a child......

However, Nie Jianfeng's focus is not here, "Senior sister, you said that the surname Ding is related to the life and death of this sect, what's going on?"

"Third Senior Brother, don't you know? Under the influence of that Stinky God Sect, who doesn't live cautiously, even the emperor Lao'er has to give three points when he sees him. ”

Bai Maxiao was surprised and said, "Isn't that the same as the Pope of Rome?

Tang Shanyu suddenly stood up and stared at him tightly, with a murderous expression.

This reflection caught Bai Maxiao off guard, and he was stunned, "What...... How to ......"

"Second junior brother, you won't want to run away again, right?"

"What?"

"Otherwise, why are you pretending to be stupid with me again!, do you want to say that you are not that wood again?!"

Bai Maxiao reacted at this time, and said quickly, "Actually, I asked for the third junior brother, and he didn't understand anything when he first arrived." ”

Tang Shanyu was obviously not so easy to speak, and raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you quite familiar with him before?"

Bai Maxiao smiled all over his face, "I wanted to talk to him, but he insisted on listening to you, senior sister." Senior sister, don't you know how beautiful your voice is? Third junior brother, he wants to listen to your heavenly sound like water and song every day. ”

Tang Shanyu looked at Nie Jianfeng, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she twisted her hair, "Really?"

Nie Jianfeng glanced at him sideways, conveying a message that he wanted to beat him. But he also really wants to know, at the moment, Bai Maxiao is definitely not suitable to ask questions, although his rhetoric is not good, but it is indeed the only way, "Yes...... Please also ask the senior sister to give advice. ”

"Ahem...... "Ahem," Tang Shanyu cleared his throat very helpfully, "This snake god sect has been linked to the royal family since ancient times, and no one knows when they created the sect, it seems that it has existed a long time ago." As for them, they do know some fairy-like spells, claiming to be the divine power given to them by the snake god. They claim to serve the snake god and manage humans instead of the snake god, so everyone obeys them very much - in fact, it is not okay not to obey, after all, no matter how powerful people are, they can't fight the divine power. ”

Isn't that the world where spirits bully mortals? Both of them are very unhappy in their hearts, it seems that there are no spirits in this era, and mortals are oppressed by these cults.

Perhaps it was the spiritual realm that gradually formed after the appearance of the spirit, and the authority of the snake god cult gradually weakened day by day, until modern times it has become a hidden religion hiding in the snake realm.

Although this is not the heyday of the Nangong Sword Sect, it is the peak era of the Snake God Sect, and it is really unfortunate that they have come to such an annoying time period.

But why is there no record in history? It is impossible for a religion that even the royal family can control not go down in history.

Nie Jianfeng gritted his teeth and said, "So, our Nangong Sword Sect is also subject to them?"

"That's natural, that Stinky God Sect is very jealous of us martial arts people, just because of the 'Anti-Religious War' more than a hundred years ago. Speaking of this, she looked around and whispered, "This war is called the 'War of Extermination' in this sect. ”

The two titles were very derogatory and praised, obviously the former stood on the side of the Snake God Sect, and the latter was the hostile side, Nie Jianfeng asked, "Could it be that this sect also participated back then?"

"It's more than just participating. It was our Sect Master who launched the Holy War back then, and he almost destroyed the Snake God Cult at that time. ”

Nie Jianfeng's eyes widened, but he was not surprised by the ancestor's initiative, but finally found the reason for the decline of the Nangong Sword Sect, "The sect master at that time failed, didn't he?"

Speaking of this, Tang Shanyu also sighed, "No one understands why it failed, and that holy war ended inexplicably." Since then, the Snake God Sect has begun to implement 'mana control', not allowing martial artists to practice divine arts, and our Nangong Sword Sect has also begun to decline since then. ”

Nie Jianfeng asked knowingly, "The Spirit Sword Technique has only been left with the 'Iron Sword Gate' since then, right?"

"Iron Sword Sect, what is that......" Tang Shanyu didn't know how the modern Sword Sect people were divided, but he still nodded thoughtfully, "But this name is also appropriate." Our spirit sword skills were originally mixed with spells, and even those divine skills of the Snake God Sect were no match. It's a pity that after the mana is controlled, the spirit sword technique is only left on the shelf. ”

Bai Ma Xiao and Nie Jianfeng could both hear it, and the spells and divine arts she said were all referring to spiritual arts. According to the time calculation, the modern Nangong Sword Sect was also divided into the Iron Sword Gate and the Spirit Sword Gate from a hundred years ago, until the Spirit Sword Gate completely disappeared.

In modern times, the only people who can complete the spirit swordsmanship are Fu Jiansheng, Jianyin and Nie Jianfeng.

It turned out that the Nangong Sword Sect had declined because of this, and Nie Jianfeng had thought that he could revive the sect, but now it seems that the so-called "mana control" of the Snake God Sect has restricted the rise of the Sword Sect.

After pondering for a while, Nie Jianfeng remembered that the most important thing at the moment was not revival, but survival, "You said that Bishop Ding is related to the life and death of this sect, does the Snake God Sect want to eradicate us?"

Tang Shanyu's face was full of sadness, "Of course, they have been trying to find a way to suppress us after the Holy War, but fortunately, they have the protection of the sect masters of the past dynasties. But when it comes to my master's generation, it is even more difficult, especially since the disciples are only me and the second junior brother, who are not qualified to participate in the conference. If you still can't participate in this year's conference, the Nangong Sword Sect will be removed from the martial arts......"
