Chapter Twenty-Seven: Passing through the Ancient Town

Two days later, the Heavenly Pivot Palace.

In the Tianshu Palace, headed by the Hongqian Daoist, the other Haoqing Palace elders and disciples all gathered in the hall, and the five people including Duanmu Qi of the Yunhua Sword Sect were also present.

Gu Nanyun and the other three members of the same sect were all standing side by side behind Duanmu Qi, at this time, when he turned his head, he inadvertently looked at the Haoqing Palace disciples in the right row in the Tianshu Palace, those disciples were all extraordinary in appearance and radiant!

Suddenly, what surprised and shocked him was that there was a beautiful female disciple in that row of Haoqing Palace disciples, she stood quietly and behaved. This woman turned out to be the female disciple he met in the mountain behind Haoqing Palace two days ago!

Above the main hall, there were a large number of young disciples who were listening to the lectures of the Hongqian Daoist and the elders of the Haoqing Palace, and they all cast admiring glances at this beautiful woman from time to time......

At this moment, Gu Nanyun was looking at her a little distractedly, and her mood was a little excited, but seeing that her eyes were like a clear moon, a cold breath emanated from her body, and the warm breath in the hall seemed to be diminished by this cold diffusion......

The female disciple seemed to sense that someone was watching her, she turned her head to look at Gu Nanyun, and looked at her, and at the moment when the two met their eyes, Gu Nanyun suddenly felt as if she had been subjected to an electric shock, and her heart trembled violently.

Looking at her staring straight at this side again, her face was still cold, and she couldn't see any change in her expression, and Gu Nanyun was so confused by her at this time, her mind was a little unsettled, and she felt that the woman in front of her had a kind of breathtaking magic, and he didn't dare to look at her again.

The woman turned her head back, regaining her talent, still silent as water......

At this moment, on the meditation mat in the hall, Hongqian Daoist closed his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly to Duanmu Qi: "In the past two days, Duanmu's nephew and a few disciples have rested well!"

Duanmuqi looked satisfied, and she replied with a smile: "Thanks to Uncle Hongqian's careful care, I have been disturbed in your faction in the past two days, and there are many inconveniences, so I also invite Uncle Hongqian Haihan!"

After hearing this, Hongqian Daoist smiled and said: "Duanmu Master and nephew, you and I are from the same lineage and have a deep relationship, and they are both our own families, so you don't need to be polite. ”

Since her entry, Duanmu Qi has been deeply taught by the sword masters, and has always been humble and courteous.

At this time, a Taoist with a withered face, dressed in a gray Taoist robe, and looking highly respected, was Fang Weizi, the law enforcement elder of Haoqing Palace, who looked at Hongqian Daoist with a shimmer in his eyes, and said: "Senior brother in charge, after these two days of selection, this time I sent disciples, a total of three people. ”

After hearing what Fang Weizi said, Hongqian Daoist raised his eyes and looked at the row of disciples on the right in the hall and asked, "Well, which three disciples are they......?"

As soon as Hongqian Daoren's words were finished, three people walked out of the disciple sect on the right, two men and one woman, and the female disciple was the woman he had seen in Gu Nanyun's hall before.

This female disciple is not anyone, but Ye Lanjing, a high-ranking disciple under the throne of the Su Ming Master of Haoqing Palace!

After seeing it, Hongqian Daoist nodded and smiled in agreement, since these three people entered the school, their root bone qualifications are different from those of other disciples, so they often receive the attention of the masters of Haoqing Palace!

And speaking of Ye Lanjing, this female disciple is a proud disciple of Haoqing Palace, who has been amazed since she was a child, and at the age of thirteen, the Taoist method first saw its edge, and she was outstanding, and at the age of eighteen, she learned the Haoqing supreme divine technique "Liangyi Guanxin Mantra"! Later, she became famous in the trial conference held every five years in Haoqing Palace, and since then she has become the lady of heaven who has attracted much attention.

Half of the time had passed, and at this time, Fang Weizi in the hall looked at Duanmu Qi and said, "Duanmu Master and nephew, these three people are all outstanding disciples in my sect, and they can be said to stand out among the younger generation of disciples, so let the three of them accompany you and wait!"

At this time, Ye Lanjing and the other three disciples in the hall turned around and walked to Duanmu Qi's side, and bowed in unison: "Disciple Lin Xu, Ye Lanjing, Chu Zhichuan has seen Uncle Duanmu!"

Duanmuqi faced the three of them, and saw that they were all heroic and sassy, and their temperament was outstanding! When she looked at Ye Lanjing among the three again, she couldn't help but take a second look.

Seeing her expression, she said happily: "The three teachers and nephews don't need to be polite, if three of them can join in the future, everyone will have a good idea in the future, and it will be much easier to explore the whereabouts of the cult demons!"

As soon as Duanmu Qi's words fell, the voice of the Hongqian Daoist in the hall sounded faintly, and he only looked at Ye Lanjing and the other three and said: "The three of you must follow the arrangements and instructions of your Uncle Duanmu on this trip, and practice the friendship with them, don't act rashly, this seat is waiting for your good news......"

"Obey the instructions of the master!" the three of them bowed to the Hongqian Daoist together.

On Gu Nanyun's side, what he didn't expect was that the woman who was as cold as frost actually joined them in this exploration operation, thinking about the days of traveling together, he didn't know how to face her, at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and excited in his heart now, as if there was still a faint sense of longing!

After coming out of Haoqing Palace, Duanmu Qi led the four disciples behind him and the three disciples of Haoqing Palace, and a group of eight people were flying through the air with flying swords, all the way to the northwest.

Speaking of swordsmanship, it is the supreme law of the Yunhua Sword Sect, but it is not unique, Haoqing Palace is from the same vein as the Yunhua Sword Sect, and it is not uncommon for the disciples of Haoqing Palace to be able to fly with a sword!

In the world of Kyushu, all the sects can control their own immortal magic weapons to travel and gallop, and it is also a road of thousands of miles, spanning thousands of miles, and their control skills are actually almost the same as the swordsmanship.

In the evening, Duanmuqi and his entourage of eight people walked along the riverbank path, and unconsciously came to a small town wharf, which is an ancient town in Yunzhou, called Yaoqi Town! And the wharf is the fortress of Yaoqi Town's waterway transportation, where you can trade and sell, and transport goods, so there will be many business travelers here every day.

To the south of the pier is a long stone staircase that slopes up to the town of Haruki.

When they walked up the stone steps and came to the entrance of the ancient town, they saw a stone archway more than two zhang high rising from the ground in front of them, and three big characters "Yaoqi Town" were written on it. The stone archway is slightly dilapidated, highlighting the ancient and vicissitudes of this ancient town.

Yaoqi Town is the main traffic artery leading to the capital of Zhongzhou, looking at the busy traffic on the street, bustling passers-by, there are teahouses, cloth villages, blacksmith shops, antique shops, etc. on both sides of the street, plus the small stalls and vendors shouting on both sides of the road, it is really a sign of prosperity.

Duanmuqi and a group of eight people came to an inn called "Wangjun Tower" at this time, I heard that this Wangjun Tower is one of the most famous places in the town to talk about wine, as the name suggests, I heard that the owner of the inn is surnamed Kang, and the "Kang family wine" it brews is well-known far and wide, inherited from the ancient formula of the family, the fragrance is pure and strong.

Therefore, many literati and knights in the rivers and lakes came to visit, just to pay for this "Kangjia wine!" They asked for wine and sang here, leaving behind the red dust behind them, and indulging in the immortal pond forest in the world!

The afterglow of the setting sun is warm and pleasant, and it spills through the restaurant on the faces of those diners, some of them are red, others are laughing, and they are full of the comfort and happiness of the town.

Duanmuqi and the other eight people, when they traveled for a day, they were already hungry, and after the second child came to the restaurant, they ate without saying anything......

At this time, there were several scholars chatting at the wine table next to them, and they only heard someone say: "You have all heard, a few beautiful girls came to the town a few days ago, and they are as beautiful as flowers!" said a scholar in a gray cloth robe.

The other was also dressed up as a scholar, with a look of excitement, and asked: "Brother Qian, what's the matter, I have been reading poetry and books hard in the next few days, I can't go out, and I don't know anything about the outside situation, so I ask Brother Qian to come and listen!"

The gray-clothed scholar pretended to be mysterious, and said: "A few benevolent brothers don't know yet! These women are really gods, they give doctors and medicines in the town, relieve the people of incurable diseases, and even give them all the bad things in the town, you say that gods are not gods!"

An older scholar said, "There is such a thing, I don't know where these girls come from?" After he finished speaking, everyone looked stunned, shook their heads and said that they didn't know.

The scholar continued, "Oh...... My mother has had a stubborn illness for many years, and she has taken many famous herbs but has no effect, and now when I hear Brother Qian say this, I think there is hope for my mother's illness. ”

The gray-clothed scholar surnamed Qian said to him: "Well, your mother's illness can't be delayed, you have to treat it quickly, no, I want to recommend it to you for my brother......"

On the wine table not far from them, among Duanmuqi and his party, Gu Nanyun listened to it in his heart, and wondered in his heart: This gift of medicine does not cost money, it is rare for someone to have such a good deed, it must not be an ordinary person!

At this time, among the eight people, Lin Xu, a disciple of Haoqing Palace who was sitting at the end of the wine table, suddenly spoke: "Uncle Duanmu, listening to the words of the brothers next to me, according to the guesses of the juniors, it must be a disciple of the 'Bauhinia Lu' in Yunzhou!"

But looking at Lin Xu, he looks elegant and noble, and he is dressed in Taoist robes to set him off handsome and bright, and his appearance is extraordinary.

When Duanmuqi heard this, he said, "I've been traveling for a long time, and I've heard of it, but I don't know how Senior Lin's nephew can see it?"

Lin Xu replied: "Back to Uncle Duanmu's words, that Bauhinia Lu is a medical school in Yunzhou, since ancient times, he has studied medicine, and his medical skills are even more extraordinary, and he is well-known in Kyushu!

He continued: "There are many disciples under Bauhinia Lu, most of them wander in all directions, taste all kinds of herbs, hang pots to help the world, while treating diseases and saving people, while giving doctors and medicines, according to the few brothers who talked to each other, so the younger generation is expected to be the disciples of Bauhinia Lu!"

When everyone heard Lin Xu's opinion, they all cast approving glances, don't look at his young age, he is so knowledgeable.

And at this moment, Yue Ningyi in the crowd actually looked at Lin Xu with an affectionate face, she didn't speak, there was love in her eyes, probably an excellent Haoqing disciple like Lin Xu, no wonder her own woman loved him!

Duanmuqi's eyes flashed slightly, and she said: "I want to come to Bauhinia Lu to help the world, benevolence and benevolence, and care for the common people, this is the blessing of our righteous path." ”

At this time, Yue Ningyi became smiling, and she smiled at Lin Xu and said, "Hearing Senior Brother Lin say this, I would like to meet these sisters!"

After some conversation, several people were full of food and were in a cheerful mood.

At this time, I only heard Duanmuqi say: "I went to investigate the whereabouts of the cult rudder, and I don't know its movements and whereabouts, it's getting late, I'll stay in this town for the time being today, and I'll think about it in the long run tomorrow!"

The vertical sun is already three poles on the sun, and the prosperity of the ancient town is still there.

In an open area, the people, men, women, and children had formed a long line, but they didn't know why they were gathering here.

I could only hear a squeamish woman's voice, shouting, "Don't worry, everyone, come one by one, come and ......" The speaker was a young girl in a light green shirt.

Beside her were three or five women dressed almost identically to her, all of whom were handsome and lovely.

In front of them was a woman dressed in dark green, apparently the leader of the girls, who had a beautiful and refined face, her cheeks were as clean as white porcelain, and her slender eyebrows and eyes narrowed into a thin slit when she smiled, like a warm and pleasant spring breeze in March.

And next to her stood a little girl in a big red dress, about seven or eight years old, smiling with a cherry-like mouth licking the rock sugar gourd in her hand, her big eyes flashing bright and dazzling. Two bunches of playful ponytails are tied on his head, and his small and delicate body sometimes writhes, and sometimes shakes his head, and the playful ponytail sways from side to side, which looks very cute.

But when she saw the woman in dark green, she sat upright in the grass hut that had been erected, stretched out her slender jade fingers to explain the pulse of the people in the town, and asked for warmth.

A few girls next to him helped to grab the medicine and bandage it, and reached out to hand the medicine.

I only heard the soft voice of the dark green-clothed woman speak: "The cold is born from it, and the yang energy is scattered outside without attachment, that is, it is a false fire, and the false heat is also called a false heat, and the yang deficiency can also be heated.

She said to a girl in light green clothes behind her: "Qiu Yan, grab some aconite, dried ginger, and boiled licorice for this uncle!"

The girl named Qiuyan answered and grabbed the medicine......

Now, there are more and more people here, and several women are even more busy. This is good, everyone in this town who has a little problem comes here to seek medical advice, because there is no silver tael, so looking at this long queue of people, it is estimated that Lang Zhong in this town is so angry that he stomps his feet!

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "The horse thief is coming...... Run......"

At this time, the scene became chaotic, and many people did not even look at the illness, and they were so frightened that they fled in panic and ran away, and the vendors on the street ran away before they had time to clean up their stalls, and soon ran away, leaving only the empty street and the women in green.

I only heard the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and a gang of horse thieves rushed in and surrounded the women in green.

There were about thirty of the horse thieves, dressed in brown suits, and their faces were covered with a white cloth wrapped around their heads, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes.

In the grass shed, the little girl in red clothes was frightened, a pair of small hands tightly grasped the dress of the woman in dark green, hid behind her little head and stared wide-eyed, and said with some crying: "Senior sister, I'm so afraid of ......."

The dark green woman comforted the little girl, squatted down and gently hugged the little girl, and said, "Lingxin, don't be afraid...... There's a senior sister here!"

Then she stood up again, and stood in the grass hut without sorrow or arrogance, with a grim face and clear eyes, and faced the vicious horse thieves with an unchanging attitude. The girls in light green behind her seemed to be a little lost and became worried......

At this time, there was a horse thief who seemed to be a follower among the group of horse thieves opposite, and he laughed and said: "Big brother, it seems that our harvest this time is not small! ”

The horse thief who followed him had a male duck voice, and as he spoke, he tore off the white cloth covering his face, revealing a mouse-eyed roe deer face, which made people feel disgusted and bored.

A horse thief at the head moved his tiger-backed body on horseback, and a big rough hand also ripped off the cloth, only to see that the face was full of horizontal flesh suddenly burst out, a clear scar slashed at the left half of his face, and a pair of obscene eyes stared at the several women in green in front of him.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he roared like thunder, "Hmm...... That's good, brothers, there hasn't been a lady in the village for two or three months, and today your sister-in-law is calling again!" and he laughed wildly......

The horse thieves behind him, all with their knives in one hand, shouted, "Good, good, good......"

"You hateful horse thieves, Hugh is talking nonsense, in broad daylight, do you still have a royal law!" said the girl named Qiuyan in the grass shed opposite the horse thief in a rage.

The little girl named Lingxin among them, as if she was encouraged, said in a milky voice: "You bad people are not allowed to bully my senior sister!"

The rat-eyed horse thief said, "Ah, it's your blessing that our king has taken a fancy to you, don't be ignorant...... he continued, but the horse thief at the head waved his hand to stop him.

The horse thief "hehe" smiled and said: "Many people have asked me if I have a royal law before, I have never known what a king is called a king, but today I finally know, a few little ladies listen well, I am the king law!" he said while handing him a silver machete while the horse thief with a roe deer head next to him.

Then the horse thief at the head took the big knife, touched the back of the knife with his hand and said, "Also, my tiger power machete is also the king's law." With that, he danced the knife in the air a few times, and the sound of "...... beeh" sounded.

Then, he saw the dark green woman standing there with a fearless face, and he was a little strange how the woman was not afraid when she saw him, and then he said angrily: "The little lady is very backbone, and I like a tough woman like you." I, Hou Anshan, am also a reasonable person, and I can give you two ways to go!"

The woman in dark green said coldly: "Those two roads ......"

Hou Anshan smiled proudly: "These two roads, eh...... Article 1: If you go back to the cottage with me, I will spare the people in this town. Article 2: If you don't obey me, I will kill all the people in the town, but you ...... Hey, hey, you've got to come with me!"

"Shameless!" said the dark-colored woman in green with some anger.

"There is a third way to go......" a sonorous voice came from not far away.

Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, and a handsome man walked over leisurely, looking at him with a proud and contemptuous expression, with a bit of sneer on his face, this person is not anyone, it is Gu Nanyun!

Seven people next to him followed, all of them with indifferent faces, and one of them, an older woman, was obviously the leader of these people.

Hou Anshan looked at these people, looking at the faces and clothes of these people, carrying long swords, but they have a lot of background, not to be underestimated, just with this compelling momentum, he couldn't help but shrink in his heart, and said in his heart This is not a master to be messed with.

But even so, who has he Hou Anshan been afraid of, and it is enough for more than thirty brothers to deal with these people today!

Hou Anshan held the bright sword in his hand, pointed at the people in front of him, and scolded loudly: "Who are you, dare to shout with Lao Tzu!"

At this time, Gu Nanyun sighed faintly: "Hey...... It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is that we like to meddle in our affairs, so you thieves, you are unlucky to meet us today. ”

The rat-eyed roe deer-headed horse thief next to Hou Anshan shouted: "What a big breath! Today I will tell you to be a headless ghost under Grandpa's knife!"

Hou Anshan was furious, his face was fierce, and he said angrily: "Tell me your third way, so that you can die a happy death!"

After Gu Nanyun heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, a few thieves really didn't know the height of the sky, so he smiled and said: "This third way, that is, you all have to go to prison to spend the rest of your lives!"

Hou Anshan is fierce temperament, he can tolerate his words, and when he heard Gu Nanyun's words, he was even more angry, he picked up the silver big knife without saying a word, and one rose into the air, slashing towards Gu Nanyun with a menacing approach......
