Chapter 8: Young Master
"Naturally, I knew they would come. The door opened at once, as if the owner had been waiting behind it. The three of them looked intently, but it was a child in a wheelchair, no more than fifteen years old.
This yard is very fragrant, full of fragrant flowers and herbs, and there is almost no place to stay. The walls are covered with fallen roses, four osmanthus trees are planted in the four corners, and there are dotted wild chrysanthemums, nightshades and indigo grass along a bluestone path underground. Among them, only wild chrysanthemums and osmanthus flowers are in season, and they bloom with thin and small smiles.
The three of them were stunned.
"You must be thinking, I'm such a paralyzed person, I'm still a doll, why do I want to stir up the troubled waters, right?" A soft smile appeared on the young man's face, but Li Xia was shocked by his smile. The young man's facial features were childish, and his long hair had turned silver-gray for some reason. He was good-looking, but he couldn't say what was wrong, and that soft smile seemed to hit the heart and made people want to stay away from him.
"You three, come in. Lao Huang, you take the four of them to wait in the courtyard. The door to the atrium behind him was not closed, and he did not pay respect, but simply slid the rather delicate wooden wheelchair under him into the door. Li Xia turned his head to look at Chi Yuan, and was about to follow up.
"Wait. Gu Yuan grabbed him and said loudly to the child, "Little brother, since you invited us here, it's not a way of hospitality to set up a strange array on the ground." β
"Oh?" the little boy looked back, "what do you mean by that?"
"With the fragrance of plants and flowers as the array...... No, including this door, it's all part of the formation, right?" Gu Yuan applauded and laughed, "A very profound formation, if it weren't for the fact that it was used against me, I would really like to applaud you." β
The child's face lit up, his lips twitched, and he said nothing. He stretched out his hand to uproot a wild chrysanthemum on the side of the wheelchair, and then picked his chin at Gu Yuan: "The formation is broken, you come with me." β
"Little brother, what do you mean by that. Gu Yuan stood in the hall, watching the kid throw the chrysanthemum in his hand into the teapot and pour himself a drink, and couldn't help but ask.
"Try the poison first, otherwise the three heirs won't dare to drink it, right?" the corner of the child's mouth brought that weird smile again.
"How do you know who we are. Chi Yuan's eyes fell, and the murderous aura in his eyes faintly flashed.
"The heir of the Qingmen is well versed in the art of Qimen gossip, he is real, you must not be fake. β
"What do you mean. Gu Yuan's eyes suddenly darkened.
"That's what you think you mean - aren't you a descendant of the Green Gate?"
"Who are you, are you really the young master?" he scoffed.
"Yes. Surprised?" The boy quietly handed him the teapot, "Try it yourself?"
Gu Yuan stared at the small teapot, suddenly smiled "haha" for a long time, and drank all the tea like mouth-to-mouth: "Don't be surprised, it should be, they all call you that." β
Li Xia watched the two of them play dumb riddles in confusion.
"Don't get me wrong, I looked at him with a kind face. Gu Yuan took the initiative to confess under the sharp gaze of his companions, "But this is not the point, the point is that this young master has gone to great lengths to find us, what are you planning?"
"Naturally, it's a matter of the Black Wind Cliffs. The young man raised his chin, "Don't worry, I'm on the same side as you." β
"We're not friends. Gu Yuan retorted.
"The enemy of the enemy, the companion always counts. The young man was in a good mood, "Who are you going to go to next?"
"Go to the west. Li Xia said, "What are you going to do?"
"Helping you. But it's a deal, it's up to you whether you do it or not. β
"Where's the price?"
"I helped you destroy the Black Wind Cliff, and you gave me Bai Xun's life. β
"Who dares to do this?" Chi Yuan sneered, "How can we guarantee that we won't let the tiger return to the mountain?"
"Honestly, you can only trust me now. The young man played with the teacup in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were still pouting with that nonchalant smile, "You have to know what happens when your identity is exposed." β
Chi Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Li Xia and I have long been targeted by the Black Wind Cliff, and Gu Yuan can't hide for a few days." β
β...... No. What this young master said should not mean being exposed to the Black Wind Cliff. Li Xia's voice was a little dull, "This ...... It's the fate of the shrine maiden. β
"Master Li Jian is so smart. The young man admired sincerely, "If it weren't for the emergency, I really don't want to threaten people like you." β
"Risya. Chi Yuan ignored him, "What kind of witch is a god?"
"That was a legend from the north a long time ago. Li Xia sighed, "There was once a witch in Beiliangzhou, who had the ability to channel the gods and worship the gods, and with her efforts, Beiliangzhou once had smooth weather and the people were healthy. It's a pity that one day a big witch came to the wild land and secretly injured the witch, so it rained for half a month in that place, and it was swept away by the wind and sand many times. People were particularly disappointed in the witch, and in a fit of rage, they demolished all the shrine maidens, and even finally there were rumors that the witch wanted to seize the power of Beiliang Prefecture...... The whole state was searching for her, and the wounded and angry witch took matters into her own hands, causing a flood and perishing with the group. β
"......" is no longer wishing. Her eyes fell on the tiles, and her chest slumped violently. The eyes that had always been as fiery as fire suddenly deepened a lot, as if they had carried too much weight that her life could not bear at once. Li Xia didn't want to ask her how she felt after hearing this story, so she just followed the young man's words and said, "Then how can you help us?"
"Teach you how to control the sword spirit. The young man looked at Gu Yuan, "How is it, okay?"
Gu Yuan tilted his head to look at Li Xia.
"Xiaoyou seems to know the Holy Sword very well, so he must know that after we summon the Holy Sword, we will definitely be deeply attacked. Li Xia said solemnly, "I can't do this deal, because I can't guarantee you what you want." I don't know how powerful this backlash will be, and ...... At that time, there must have been more than five Heavenly Swords present. β
"I understand. The boy smiled, "So I'll be there." You just have to make sure that one bad move will save his life. I don't care if it's dead or disabled. And I will hand him over to the various immortal sects in the end, you can rest assured. β
"Are you from the Black Wind Cliffs?" Chi Yuan asked suddenly.
"It's not. The young man tilted his head at her, "It's just some origin, and ......"
"Then can you let Qing Ling show the way?" Gu Yuan asked a little abruptly, "When he confessed to me, he didn't indicate where the next Sword Gate was. β
"That's up to you to control him, Master Gu Yuan. The boy smiled slowly.
Chi Yuan and Li Xia glanced at each other, and saw deep despair in each other's eyes.
"Ah......" Gu Yuan was obviously disappointed as well, but he quickly hid his little embarrassment with a roll of his eyes, "Okay, it doesn't matterβwhat's your name?
"Call me Qinqin. He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "The name is just a title, you don't care if it's true or not." β
Li Xia: "......" was so bold after seeing a fake name deceive people for the first time.
"You're all right, right? Qin Qin said in an affirmative tone with a questioning statement, "Then who will trade with me?"
β...... What do you mean. β
"I have to make a promise. Qin Qinhun didn't care, "So I made an oath spell on that secret book, if one party breaches the contract, it will inevitably be subject to the ten thunders of the sky, and there is no way to hide." β
...... It's ruthless.
Li Xia suddenly stepped forward and pulled back Gu Yuan, who was about to volunteer: "I'll come." β
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to stare at him: "Are you sure?"
Li Xia didn't make a sound, but spread his hands in front of Qin Qin with a little reverence. Qin Qin stared at him intently, and he didn't know what he said, and a golden light shot out of his palm, and in an instant, it drilled into the top of Li Xia's head. Li Xia's face suddenly became ugly, and he shook it a few times before he could stand still, but the cold sweat of Dou Da slid down his cheeks.
"What are you doing!" Chi Yuan put his hand on the hilt of the Red Feather Sword menacingly, and Gu Yuan also stood up slightly straighter, staring at the culprit with a frosty face.
Qin Qin shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "I have recorded the so-called method in one of my divine senses, what if I don't give it to him like this? Besides, he also received an oath from me, and he is not very comfortable. β
Gu Yuan strode forward, stretched out his left index finger and pointed at the center of Li Xiadi's eyebrows, and sneered: "More than that, right? You even put a tracking spell, I'm afraid you don't have any good intentions, right?"
"Gu Jian Master is smart. Qin Qin didn't seem to see half of the Red Feather Sword out of the sheath, "But don't worry, this spell is a two-way street, and if I use it, Sword Master Li will definitely have some sense - in case there is a need for contact, it is just an extra layer of protection." β
"Would-" Chi Yuan raised his hand menacingly, "will it hurt him?"
"Rest assured. Gu Jian Master knew that this spell was not harmful. Qin Qin spread his hands, "It won't do me any good to hurt you, you don't have to be too nervous." β
"I'm fine. Lixia's voice rang out, becoming hoarse and dry, "This...... This inheritance is so strong, I can't stand it a little. But I'm fine, don't worry. β
Gu Yuan stretched out his hand to hold his pulse, his face was slightly pale, and he pointed to the Red Feather Sword and smiled at Qin Qin: "Glad for you, you didn't lie to anyone-Chi Yuan, Li Xia is fine." β
"I'm glad for myself. Qin Qin smiled and said, "Gu Sword Master, do you want to start setting the direction now?"
"Let's get started. Li Xia said in a deep voice, "Gu Yuan, I'll teach you." β
