Xiao Tianyu and Xu Lanwei rowed the boat to the center of the river. Xu Lanwei had to compete with Xiao Tianyu, jumped into the river first, dived to the bottom of the river, and threw up a few blue and white crucian carp in a short time. In less than half an hour, a full bucket was caught.

Xu Lanwei jumped on the boat, patted the bucket full of fish, and was very proud: "How about Xiao Gongzi? This girl is amazing! It's still too late to admit defeat in my heart, the big husband can bend and stretch, and this girl won't laugh at you." ”

"I don't know how to know. Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly, bent down and poked his hand into the river, and after a while, layers of blisters appeared on the surface of the river, as if someone was boiling the water by burning a fire at the bottom of the river. Then, a few blue and white crucian carp floated on the surface of the river. Xu Lanwei was very curious, and exclaimed, "Did you use any spell here?" ”

Xiao Tianyu smiled silently, the river continued to boil, and one after another crucian carp surfaced, surrounding the boat in all directions. There are more than 100 of them. But they all faced the sky on their backs, revealing their white fish belly, floating motionless on the surface of the river.

It turned out that Xiao Tianyu used the fire contained in the "Nanming Lihuo Palm" to heat the river water, and the crucian carp at the bottom of the river lacked oxygen, so they floated up one by one to breathe, and this kind of spectacle appeared. This was what he learned from Zhang Xiaoyuan, one of the four protectors of the Xuanming Sect. Back then, Zhang Xiaoyuan performed the "Old Fish Dancing Wave and Thin Jiao Dance" for the children by Qinghai Lake, and she used her internal force to urge the lake water and lure those Huang fish out. But Zhang Xiaoyuan's fish is alive, but his fish has died of lack of oxygen.

"Well, this is. Xu Lan looked at the dead fish on the surface of the river and exclaimed: "The fish is not fresh when it is dead, and it is not delicious when cooked." Look at the fish I caught, all of them are alive. What's the use of having a lot of numbers, it's good to be alive, so I still won. ”

It is a fact that Xiao Tianyu caught more fish than her. But Xu Lanwei was naturally arrogant, how could she admit that she had lost, so she found a loophole. Xiao Tianyu knew her temper, if she didn't follow her, she might be able to figure out something. He nodded and said, "Count me as losing." ”

This time, Xu Lanwei was not happy, and shouted: "What do you mean that you lost, you already lost." But don't be discouraged. He patted Xiao Tianyu on the shoulder and said, "You have great potential, if you humbly ask for advice and worship me as a teacher, I will teach you this method of catching fish." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Tianyu asked, "Do you have to pay for apprenticeship?" ”

Xu Lan said slightly: "It's too vulgar to raise money." This girl is not a layman like that. She smiled: "Why don't you give me the trick you just used to catch fish." It's your tuition. Isn't it a good deal?"

"That's what the girl meant. Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly, but shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to teach, it's just that the martial arts I have performed are the most yang and the most strong, if a woman practices, the yin and yang in the body are out of balance, I am afraid that it will kill the girl." ”

Xu Lanwei suddenly sank his face, turned around and sat on the bow of the boat, muttering: "If you don't teach, you won't teach, why do you say this to scare me." I'm not a three-year-old anymore. ”

In fact, this is really not Xiao Tianyu scaring her. This "Nanming Away from the Fire Palm" is the proud martial arts of the previous Dharma Protector Long Xingyun, which is just to the yang, and implies the power of open fire, which is not something that men can learn. In the decisive battle with Hu Lufeng that day, just because Zhang Xiaoyuan injected a little feminine true qi into his body, Hu Lufeng's body fought with yin and yang, and he was killed on the spot. If this martial art is passed on to Xu Lanwei, how can she, an ordinary person, withstand the power of this open fire, she has to be burned to ashes!

Where did Xu Lanwei know these truths, and thought that Xiao Tianyu was just stingy and refused to teach him, and pouted very unhappy: "If you don't teach me, I won't ask you to catch fish." ”

Xiao Tianyu saw her willful appearance, very cute, thought about it and said, "Miss Xu, it's not that I'm stingy, I really can't teach you this martial arts." In this way, I will teach you another kind of kung fu, which is very easy to learn, and it will also help you catch fish in the future, okay?"

Xu Lanwei's heart blossomed, but his face was very flat: "It's okay, since that's the case, I won't embarrass Sect Master Xiao." What other martial arts are you going to teach me?"

Xiao Tianyu said: "This is a kind of mental method of our Xuanming Sect, called 'Hidden Essence Six Senses', and the six senses are divided into six types: eye, ear, nose, mouth, body and mind. After completing the study, you can see at night like day, hear like eyes, know the reason of everything when you touch your body, know your heart like a mirror, know the taste of all things with your nose, and poison your mouth without attacking. Do you want to learn?"

When Xu Lanwei heard that there were so many wonderful uses, he readily agreed.

These "hidden six consciousnesses" are mental methods, and they are extremely simple to learn. It took Yang Wenyuan a few hours to grasp the mystery. Xu Lanwei has no martial arts, and it is a little difficult to master. Xiao Tianyu quietly crossed some true anger for her. Gradually, she had learned to recognize. Xiao Tianyu asked her to put her hand into the water and move her body to perceive the things around her.

Xu Lan slightly felt the murmuring of the water, and there was also the direction and secret passage of its flow. She stretched her hand down again, and actually sensed the whereabouts of the fish in the depths, and shouted excitedly. Xiao Tianyu sat on the boat, seeing her so happy, and his heart was also very happy.

Since he killed Hu Lufeng and sat on the position of the leader of the Xuanming Sect, the sect has been in ruins, and he has been physically and mentally exhausted for the affairs of the sect in the past few months. He hadn't been so happy in a long time. Xu Lanwei's excited look was heavily engraved in his heart.

Xu Lanwei and Xiao Tianyu got off the boat, each carrying the barrel in one hand, talking and laughing. Zhao Yanfa stood outside the door, looking at the two of them, his eyes were extremely complicated. There is a little resentment, a little pathos, and a little envy and even jealousy.

Xu Lanwei walked in front of him and smiled at him: "Zhao Gongzi, I'm sorry, I'm going to cook." ”

Zhao Yanfa was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stood up straight, and asked, "Miss Xu, is there anything you need my help with?"

Xu Lan shook his head slightly and said, "No, no, I usually cook by myself, and just now Sect Master Xiao said that he would give me a hand, so you can rest here." ”

Zhao Yanfa's whole body was shocked, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day exploding in his ears, his brain was buzzing, and his heart was like a pinprick in sharp pain, as if he was dripping blood! He watched Xu Lanwei and Xiao Tianyu walk into the hut in a daze, laughing and laughing, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After a while, the smell wafted from the house. After a while, Xu Lanwei brought out the meal with the little servant. A few knights stepped forward to sniff and asked, "Miss Xu, why does the smell of the fish made today different from before?"

Xu Lan smiled: "Old Man Wu, you really have a smart nose." Yes, you are blessed with your mouths. Today I made you a famous dish West Lake vinegar fish. Xiao Gongzi had eaten this dish before, remembered the method, and told me. I'll improve it for you, and you can try it. If you think it's delicious, you should thank Xiao Gongzi. ”

The knights gathered around with dishes and chopsticks, competing for food. Zhao Yanfa stood aside, and he was even more resentful in his heart: I have also eaten this West Lake vinegar fish, and I also know how to do it. Why didn't I think of this and didn't tell Miss Xu?

Xiao Tianyu walked out of the house and said with a smile: "I just told Miss Xu how to do it." The rest is operated by Miss Xu, and everyone should thank Miss Xu. ”

Hearing Xiao Tianyu's voice again at this time, Zhao Yanfa felt particularly harsh and even a little bored. All the knights feasted happily, and they all shouted: "Thank you Miss Xu for doing it, thank you Xiao Gongzi for your advice." ”

Xu Lanwei wanted to fill a bowl for Zhao Yanfa as usual, held it in front of him, and said, "You've been here for so many days, you're still so embarrassed." Come, try it, whether the vinegar fish I made in West Lake is delicious. Xu Lan held the bowl slightly, tilted his head, smiled, and his face was full of expectation.

Zhao Yan looked at her smiling face in a daze, took the bowl, and tasted it. The fish is tender and juicy, and the rice is fragrant, but he tastes like chewing wax, and it has no taste at all, and it is difficult to swallow. He forced a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "It's delicious." Miss Xu, in fact, I also know the method of vinegar fish in West Lake. ”

When he said "delicious", Xu Lanwei had already happily turned around and ran away. So she didn't hear the latter sentence at all. The sense of loss in Zhao Yanfa's heart aggravated a few points. saw Xu Lanwei and Xiao Tianyu chatting while eating, very intimate. He laughed at himself and said in his heart: Zhao Yanfa, Zhao Yanfa, you came here to ask Master Xu for a sword. Now that the mountains and rivers have fallen, and the family and country have not been decided, why do you still take care of the private feelings of your children. Father-in-law, Uncle Guo and Lu Daxia have spirits in the sky, how sad it should be!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yanfa smiled with relief. He can fool himself, but he can't fool his heart. If you are really relieved, why does your heart still hurt so much?

He looked at the bowl in his hand, but he didn't have the slightest appetite. Placing the bowl on the ground, he got up and walked towards the woods. At that moment, he was still looking forward to it, expecting Xu Lanwei to see him like this, and then ran over to stop him and asked him why he didn't eat?

But Xu Lanwei didn't see him. She was chatting with Xiao Tianyu so hotly that she had no time to take care of the things around her. Xiao Tianyu chatted with Xu Lanwei about some anecdotes on the rivers and lakes, which made Xu Lanwei laugh, but his afterglow caught a glimpse of Zhao Yanfa, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took a step forward very casually, covering Xu Lanwei's sight.

Zhao Yanfa found a big tree in the woods and sat down, leaning on it. Picking up the branches on the ground and whipping the fallen leaves, I spent a long time bored.

"Zhao Alliance Master. A voice sounded from behind him, and a man stepped on the ground and made a rustling sound of falling leaves. Zhao Yanfa turned his head to look, but it was the old monster Wu, followed by other knights.

Over the years, he gradually became acquainted with this group of people. smiled slightly: "Brother Wu, why are you here?"

Everyone surrounded Zhao Yanfa in the middle with an uproar, and their expressions were all excited. But Zhao Yanfa was startled and asked, "What's wrong with you, big brothers?"

Old Monster Wu looked at Zhao Yanfa and asked very seriously: "Master Zhao, why haven't you eaten?"

Zhao Yanfa secretly laughed in his heart and said, "It's nothing, I'm not hungry now, so I haven't eaten, thank you for your concern." ”

Wu Lao Wei said: "Are you not hungry because you are jealous and eat too much?"

Zhao Yanfa was shocked in his heart and shouted, "Brother Wu, what do you mean by this!"

Wu Lao said strangely: "Master Zhao, we have known each other for so many days, so don't hide it from us." Let me ask you, do you like Miss Xu?"

Wu Lao blames them for being all from the rivers and lakes, and they haven't read the sage books for a few days, and they are straightforward. Zhao Yanfa was stunned for a while, and didn't know how to answer: "Xu, Miss Xu, she is kind-hearted, gentle and considerate, who doesn't like it when she sees it." ”

"People are kind-hearted, gentle and considerate?" Wu Lao Wei shouted: "Zhao Mengzhu, how deep is your love, is there Xi Shi in the eyes of your lover? Zhao Mengzhu, now that the matter is over, don't pretend to be with your brothers." We can all see that you are interesting to Miss Xu. ”

Seeing that Zhao Yanfa didn't speak, Wu Lao Wei shouted: "If you don't speak, you will acquiesce." Master Zhao, how good Miss Xu was to you when you first came. To be honest, although Miss Xu is rude and willful, we are also very envious when we see her treating you like this. You two are talented and beautiful, we can see it in our eyes. But as soon as the boy from the Demon Sect came, he didn't know what demon magic he used, and he actually hooked Miss Xu's soul. It's very uncomfortable to see Miss Xu treat you like this!"

Old Monster Wu thumped his chest, as if it were his own experience: "We are leaving tomorrow." So my brothers have consulted and decided to help you before leaving. ”

"How can you help me?" Zhao Yanfa actually called out, scared Wu Lao Wei down, sat on the ground, and smiled: "Zhao League Master, don't you still admit that you like Miss Xu?" You see how nervous you are, we all worry about you!" He stood up, patted the soil on his buttocks, and said, "We asked Old Ghost Liu to secretly go to Miss Xu and tell her that you didn't eat." I think Miss Xu will come to you. Zhao Mengzhu, we people in the rivers and lakes, as long as we don't violate the morality of the rivers and lakes, we have to fight for what we like. Don't regret it later!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, which made Zhao Yanfa feel enlightened. At this time, a shout came from outside the woods: "Zhao Gongzi, Zhao Gongzi, where are you?" was Xu Lanwei's voice.

Old Monster Wu shouted, "Hey, I'm here." He beckoned the others to evacuate quickly. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say to Zhao Yanfa: "Zhao Alliance Master, don't let us down! Our righteous martial arts can't lose to the people of his Demon Sect!"

They are all chivalrous men in the rivers and lakes, some of them jumped on the branches of the trees while talking, and some of them ran wildly, and they disappeared in front of Zhao Yanfa's eyes in a blink of an eye. The rustling of leaves sounded behind him, Zhao Yanfa turned his head to look, Xu Lanwei was walking towards him, and shouted, "Zhao Gongzi, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Yanfa saw her, and somehow the haze and loss in his heart were suddenly swept away, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "Miss Xu, go down, look at the scenery here." ”

"What's so nice about the scenery here?" Xu Lanwei said, turned to Zhao Yanfa, saw the fallen leaves on the ground that were broken into pieces by him, and smiled slightly: "Are you in a bad mood? I heard that you haven't eaten, and you're still sitting here alone and smoking leaves." ”

Zhao Yanfa panicked and said, "No, no, I'm not in a bad mood." ”

Xu Lan's face sank slightly, and he said, "When I'm in a bad mood, I will come here alone without eating to smoke leaves." Smoke grass if there are no leaves, and smoke tree trunks if there is no grass. So you can't hide it from me. ”

"Will you do the same!" Zhao Yanfa felt an inexplicable pride and excitement in his heart! Xu Lan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, if someone else makes me feel bad, I will torture everything in the world as him." I think you hate her for breaking this leaf so much, right? Guess this can't be me, right?"

Zhao Yanfa was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, Miss Xu, you misunderstood, it's not you, it's not you!"

Xu Lan smiled slightly and said, "Look at you, I told you before, you are such a big person, you won't joke at all, do you know that this will make the girl think you are very boring!"

Zhao Yanfa was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that he was not a rigid person. When he was in Wumeng, he often joked with Qingfeng and them, and he was also very funny. But as soon as he met Xu Lanwei, his previous pride and humor were gone. It's as if he is a wolf and Xu Lanwei is a lion. No matter how powerful the wolf is, it will lose its prestige in front of the lion.

Zhao Yanfa said: "Actually, I wasn't such a person before. It's just that as soon as I meet you, I can't do anything. Maybe you were born to beat me!"

Xu Lan's face sank slightly, and he said, "Am I so terrible? Be careful, stay with me for a long time, what will you do? ”

Zhao Yanfa smiled: "As long as I can stay with you, even if I die, I won't be afraid!"

He didn't know why he suddenly said this, and he was shocked. saw Xu Lan's face flushed, lowered his head, and replied: "Flamboy, others still say that you are loyal and honest, and I think you are also a bad person." As he spoke, he stuck his tongue out at him.

Zhao Yanfa saw that she was not angry, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Miss Xu, in fact, I will also do the vinegar fish in West Lake." ”

"Oh? Xu Lan shouted slightly: "Why didn't you say it earlier." After making braised fish for so many days, I'm almost tired of eating it. I changed it after hearing what Sect Leader Xiao said today. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have changed it earlier, really, next time you know something delicious, tell me, don't hide it, do you know?"

"Got it!" Zhao Yanfa nodded heavily, and his heart was already happy.

......

On the second day, after breakfast, the remaining dozen or so knights knew that it was futile to wait, so they discussed and left. Xu Lanwei stayed with these people for a long time, and suddenly left, he was still a little reluctant in his heart, and shouted: "If you want to eat my food, just come to me again, and the food fee will be collected correctly, you don't have to be polite." ”

Everyone nodded yes, and Zhao Yanfa was also a little reluctant. Although these people were vulgar, he also gave advice on his own affairs, and he was very moved to send them to the river and get on the boat. Old Monster Wu leaned into his ear and whispered: "Master Zhao, don't forget what your brothers told you, get Miss Xu as soon as possible, and we will wait to go to Henan to drink your wine." ”

Xu Lan heard a sentence of drinking happy wine intermittently, and asked, "Old Monster Wu, whose happy wine do you drink?

Old Monster Wu didn't answer, but stood at the bow of the boat and bowed deeply to the two of them. When Zhao Yanfa and Xu Lanwei saw each other, they saluted him at the same time.

Wu Lao Wei was happy in his heart: Hehe, do you want to worship heaven and earth? Then he bowed to the two of them, and said in his heart: "There is another second worship hall." Sure enough, the two of them didn't know why, and they bowed to him at the same time.

Wu Lao Wei was even happier in his heart, and bowed here: "Come on, come on, husband and wife worship each other." ”

The two of them bowed to Old Monster Wu again, thinking to themselves who would bow three times to the living. A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Old Monster Wu's mouth, and he said in his heart: "The hall is worshipped, and the next thing is to send it to the cave room." Zhao Alliance Master, I won't go with you!"

Both of them were confused by his smile. Xu Lanwei whispered in Zhao Yanfa's ear: "This old monster Wu is very bad, I don't know what bad thoughts are in my heart?"

Wu Lao Wei saw that the two of them were so close, and secretly laughed: "This little couple just finished worshipping the hall and whispered. Lord Zhao League, in a few days, I will go to your Martial Alliance to ask for a reward!" Thinking of this, he actually laughed.

"What bad things are you thinking about this stinky old man?" Xu Lanwei picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at Wu Lao Wei, impartially, right in Wu Lao Wei's head, and suddenly made a big bag. The painful old man Wu screamed: "Miss Xu, is it rude to the matchmaker so much!"

"What matchmaker?" Xu Lan was slightly puzzled, and turned his head to look at Zhao Yanfa: "Do you know?"

Zhao Yanfa was even more confused than her, shook his head and said, "I don't know either?"

Old Monster Wu smiled and thought, "I made a dark medium for you, of course you don't know." Zhao Alliance Master, don't let your brothers down!"

Gradually, their figures disappeared into the river.

Near noon, the sound of striking iron in the backyard suddenly stopped. After a while, Xu Yizhi changed into a washed white dress and walked out with a bamboo basket on his back. When Xu Lanwei saw it, he asked, "Daddy, are you going out?"

Xu Yizhi nodded and said, "I'm going to the town on the other side to buy some grinding stones." ”

Xu Lanwei saw that he didn't have a little girl with him, so he asked, "Does Daddy want to go alone?"

Xu Yizhi shook his head and said, "I'm not going alone." I want to let Sect Master Zhao and Sect Leader Xiao go with me, I wonder if the two of you are willing?"

When Zhao Yanfa and Xiao Tianyu heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward, hugged their fists and said, "But it's disrespectful." ”

Both of them had a wishful thinking in their hearts. There are many benefits to going with him this time. The opportunity to be with this world-famous swordsmith is so rare that many people can't ask for it. In addition, it can also increase the goodwill of the two in Xu Yizhi's mind, and they may not only get good swords and swords, but also his baby daughter.

Xu Yizhi pushed the boat into the river, and the three of them got on the boat in turn. There was only one oar on the boat, but both of them rowed, so you fought for me, and didn't let me go. After arguing for a long time, the boat did not move anywhere. Xu Yizhi sighed and said, "Two, time is urgent, don't fight, leave it to me." ”

Although the two were reluctant, but Xu Yizhi said so, they could only do it. But both of them wanted to hand over the oar to Xu Yizhi in person, so no one let go, and in the end, the two of them held the oar together and handed it to Xu Yizhi.

The boat swung through layers of water and headed for the opposite shore. Although Xiao Tianyu failed to grab the oar, he secretly used his internal force to spread to the surface of the river, forcibly changing the direction of the water flow, and letting the water push the boat forward, and Xu Yizhi didn't feel tired when he rowed.

Zhao Yanfa also felt that there was a force pushing the boat forward, and knew that Xiao Tianyu was secretly using internal force to fuel the fire. He did not admit defeat, and carried the internal force of "Yuqing Taixuangong", submerged into the river, and competed with Xiao Tianyu.

Zhao Yanfa's "Yuqing Taixuangong" internal force is extremely strong, and he only used three points of force this time, and he instantly broke up Xiao Tianyu's internal force. Xiao Tianyu sensed that he was making trouble, and saw that he scattered his internal force as soon as he made a move, how could he admit defeat. Transported Xuangong, passed into the water, and once again confronted Zhao Yanfa's internal force.

The internal force of two people is invisible, so it is invisible. But I saw layers of water splashing on the surface of the river, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, lapping the surface of the river and making a soft crackling sound. The splash is the result of the internal force of the two people. To the left means that Zhao Yanfa repelled Xiao Tianyu's internal force, and to the right the opposite.

The two secretly competed with each other, each unconvinced, and both shocked. Xiao Tianyu was shocked that Zhao Yanfa had such a strong internal force, and Zhao Yanfa was shocked that Xiao Tianyu's internal strength could compete with one-third of the "Yuqing Taixuangong".

The two glanced at each other, the wind and waves were calm on the surface, but the waves on the river were everywhere. A layer of water splashed on the left and right, surging towards the middle. But it is the internal forces of the two that are competing with each other. For a moment, the river was rough and the boat was shaking. The two of them stood as steady as a mountain.

The two splashes collided in the middle, and instead of retreating, they went straight forward, and a column of water half a foot long surged up on the surface of the river, and it became higher and higher, and it became larger and larger. The two of them secretly competed, each unconvinced, and no one wanted to stop at the moment, and if they stopped, they would say that they had lost. It's something they can't do anyway.

I saw the water column getting higher and higher, and gradually approached the boat. If it falls suddenly, hit the boat. The boat was bound to be shattered by the strong internal force of the two men in the water column. Both of them are northerners, and although their water quality is not good, with their strong martial arts, they can hold their breath in the water for a few hours. But if Xu Yizhi falls into the water, let Xu Lanwei know that it was the two of them who damaged the boat, there will be no good fruit for the two of them to eat!

The two of them each scolded in their hearts: You bastard, if you don't withdraw your skills, do you want to be scolded to death by Miss Xu!

Xu Yizhi suddenly roared, stepped on the rudder with both feet, and raised the oar to slap towards the water column. With a snap, the tall column of water collapsed and fell into the river. The choppy waves also instantly became level as a mirror. Zhao Yanfa and Xiao Tianyu were crooked and almost fell off the boat.

Xu Yizhi said in a deep voice: "In this February season, there are such storms on the Qinhuai River, which is really a strange thing. Sect Master Zhao, Sect Leader Xiao, you two have to stand firm!"

Zhao Yanfa and Xiao Tianyu were shocked. Naturally, they knew what had just happened. Xu Yizhi lifted the oar and seemed to be a random beat, but it was with a strange energy, and the tense momentum of the two of them competing for internal strength was scattered in one shot!

It seems that this Xu Yizhi is not only a sword-casting master, but also an unborn martial arts master!

......
