Falling off the remnants of the red began to spit out the fragrance,

The good name is called the King of Flowers,

boasted of the unparalleled beauty in the world,

Monopoly the first incense in the world.

It is obviously the golden autumn season now, but in the Legalist's station, the two sides are divided with great mana, resulting in the four seasons of spring in this station, and when the climate is good, the flowers will naturally bloom more delicately. Luoyang is famous for this peony flower, in front of you, in this big mansion like spring in all seasons, all over the sky, all the peonies of various colors, competing to bloom, is so dare to say that this "the world is unparalleled, the first fragrance in the world." ”

All kinds of peony flowers, intertwined, competing for beauty, blooming all over the lower five floors of the "Twin Towers" in front of you, as well as the entire huge courtyard green space, leaving only a few leisurely paths in the middle for people to walk, which is really a different kind of "walking scenery" Jiangnan garden style.

Looking at the various blooming peony flowers in front of him, Shang Hua said with a smile: "Originally, our cultivation realm has always paid attention to elegance and lightness, and pursued the beauty of the world, but after living with mortals for a long time, we were contaminated with this gaudy atmosphere and fell in love with peonies, which made Wangchen's predecessors smile." ”

Wangchen, Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan were all standing at the gate at this time, looking at the majestic buildings in front of them, as well as the peony flowers that were full of eyes and competing for beauty.

Hearing Shang Hua say this, Wangchen's calm smile was as good as ever, and he said lightly: "As the saying goes, only the peony is true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom." Therefore, this peony flower is loved by mortals, and this immortal is also loved, just a hobby, and there is no need to be humble. ”

Shang Hua said with a smile: "The interior of this station is like spring all year round, so this peony flower is also blooming every day, and today's predecessors came too suddenly, and we didn't give these flowers a rest and recuperation." ”

"It's too polite, Shang Ming and I are also old acquaintances, so I don't have to make such a move when I come to visit. ”

Shang Hua smiled humbly, then pointed to the tall building in front of him, and said, "A banquet has been prepared in the building, please enjoy the light." ”

Wangchen nodded, "In that case, we will bother." ”

With Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan behind them, the three of them, under the leadership of Shang Hua, were surrounded by many children of the Legalist family and walked into the majestic twin buildings. Go straight up to the highest floor on the left.

In front of an ordinary wooden door room, Wangchen stopped and said with a smile: "This room should be called 'Tianyuan Pavilion'." ”

"Oh, seniors know this?" Shang Hua asked strangely.

"Yes, this name was given by me and Shang Ming back then. ”

Shang Hua smiled, and calmly made a gesture of "please", "Then please ask the seniors to visit the old place again." ”

Everyone has entered this "Tianyuan Pavilion", although this door is ordinary, but as soon as you enter the door, there is a sense of emptiness inside this room, the space is so large that people dare not underestimate it, and they can't help but sigh that the immortal family's means are really unfathomable. The room has been arranged in advance with various carved railing screens, tables and food. Everyone sat down in the order of the guest of honor, and the other Legalists also took their seats according to their generations, waiting for the start.

Legalists, with the rule of law, this rule is also extremely strict, there must be a square circle between gestures, before the senior elders spoke, the bottom was silent, and they did not dare to make a mistake. Seeing that everyone was seated, Shang Hua nodded.

Because Shang Ming did not return, Shang Hua and his wife sat on the top to entertain the guests. At this time, Shang Hua raised his glass and said loudly: "Although the preparation is in a hurry, but this gift is indispensable, I, Shang Hua, lead the people of the Fa family, and come to visit my Fa family with a respect for the seniors of Wangchen, Mu Yuan Xiaoyou and Chu Xiaoyou, and take care of the little girl along the way, please." As soon as the words fell, the children in the hall all made the same move.

Wangchen, Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan smiled and raised their glasses, and together with everyone, they drank the wine in the cup. As soon as the wine was entered, it turned into a faint floral fragrance into the stomach, the taste was slightly sweet, but not greasy, I only felt that I was suddenly clear, and there was a feeling of going deep into the flowers.

After closing his eyes for a long time, Wangchen slowly put down the wine glass, opened his eyes, and asked deliberately, "Chu Xiaoyou, do you know the origin of this wine?"

Chu Xunyu knew that Wangchen was testing him, so he opened his eyes, put down the cup, and replied with a smile: "This wine should be the rumor on the rivers and lakes, the 'peony fang' of the Legalist, it has been recorded in the classics, the Legalist has lived in Luoyang for a long time, and the peony of the first hundred flowers, the first wisp of nectar in the morning, with the clear spring on the shore of Luoshui, is brewed with 7749 processes. Poetry and clouds: Luoyang peony is expensive in the world, and a little fragrant among the flowers is talking about the famous wine 'peony fang' of this Legalist. ”

At this moment, Shang Hua couldn't help but be stunned, because sword cultivation has always been scarce, although he saw Chu Xunyu today, he looked young, and thought that he was just a junior of Wangchen, and he also came out to practice, who knew that he also knew a lot about the famous wine in his family, and heard his tone, it should be from a famous family, not like the reckless man who only knows how to practice swords in the mountains and wilderness, at the moment, the evaluation of Chu Xunyu is one point higher.

"Come on, come on, since Chu Xiaoyou knows the origin, he might as well have a drink. Shang Hua immediately let the children beside him fill it and saluted it alone.

Chu Xunyu smiled, took the cup full of wine, and was not pretentious, as soon as he raised his head, he drank it again. This time, the feeling is different, the first cup is deep into the flowers, and the second cup is in the flowers, slowly looking for the attachment of the peony.

Shang Hua suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly: "The banquet can start, please dance." ”

As soon as the wooden door opened, a row of female disciples rushed in, dressed like dazzling flowers, but the body was elegant, a total of more than 100 people, came to the hall, stood according to their positions, and then a row of girls came in, but each holding a different instrument of the piano and pipa in their hands, and sat down at the end. The leader of this musical instrument team is none other than Shang Qian, who has not been seen since just now.

All the female disciples bowed slightly, after the etiquette, they were about to dance, Shang Qian, as the leader, the jade fingers were light, and they were just about to caress the sound, when suddenly a hearty laughter came from the sky, echoing in the ears: "Everyone, good Yaxing, fortunately I came back in time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch up with this banquet." ”

Hearing such a voice, all the Legalist disciples, including Shang Hua, suddenly had a straight face, stood up, and saluted the closed wooden door, Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan were the same, you must know that there is only that person who can have such a momentum.

Wangchen was as calm as ever, stood up from behind the table, and said with a smile: "Why is my old friend late?"

There was a ripple of water in front of the wooden door, only to see an elegant figure revealed, everyone looked at it, only to see a young figure that was the same as Wangchen appeared, a huge peony on the chest, and a pattern of a measuring stick embroidered on the cuffs of the right hand. Although his face was young, there was a sense of nobility between his gestures, and his smiling eyes looked at Wangchen, and then walked slowly, under his light, everyone around him lost their color as if a hundred flowers were withering.

"The royal capital was delayed for a moment or two, but fortunately it was in time for the banquet, so don't blame the seniors. The young man chuckled and spoke.

"Between you and me, the seniors are arguing, why do the seniors say it? Brother Shang Ming tortured me. Wangchen replied with a smile as before.

This seemingly young person is none other than the patriarch of the Fa family, Shang Ming. Shang Ming smiled and saluted everyone present, but when it was Chu Xunyu's turn, his eyes paused slightly, and a trace of strangeness flashed, as if he saw something.

Chu Xunyu's face was not shocked, but in his heart, he clearly felt that Shang Ming's eyes had a kind of majesty of law, like a high mountain, looking at himself. If Wangchen gives people the feeling of floating clouds in the sky, ethereal and unpredictable, then the reflection of Shang Ming is like a majestic mountain, which makes people dare not look up.

Shang Hua gave up the host's position to Wangchen, sat down again, and announced the start of the banquet. Shang Qian's fingers dropped slightly, and a burst of melodious music spread through the hall, and hundreds of female disciples danced one after another, behaving in an orderly manner, a scene of a hundred flowers competing for beauty.

"What's this dance called? It's so beautiful. Mu Yuan sucked a piece of rice skin into his mouth and ate it happily, but when he saw such a graceful dance, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chu Xunyu, who was beside him, smiled and picked up a green fruit, took a bite, and replied: "This dance is called "Dragon Pool Music", which originated from the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty and is a large-scale music song. ”

Although the voices of the two were small, Shang Ming still glanced at him while talking and laughing with Wangchen, and there was a lot of appreciation in his eyes.

At the end of the song, all the female disciples returned to their seats one after another, and the banquet officially entered the climax. Shang Qian was the same at this time, sitting among the female disciples, telling what she had seen and heard along the way, and sharing it with the female disciples.

I have to praise that Shang Qian's eloquence has improved Mu Yuan a lot along the way, talking about the transformation of the big stars in the city of Hanzhong, and talking about the difficulty of losing at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, or the mountain pheasant essence in the suburbs of Taiyuan, the expression is either sad or wonderful, which vividly reflects the scene at that time, causing all the female disciples to exclaim from time to time. Especially when it comes to the part where Chu Xunyu vs. Centipede Essence, it was as if he was watching the battle from the sidelines, which made several girls look at Chu Xunyu not far away, and they were really uncomfortable for a while.

Chu Xunyu was angry and funny, glanced at Mu Yuan, who was working hard beside him, and couldn't help but sigh, close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, it seems that the ancients are honest and do not deceive.

After three rounds of wine, Chu Xunyu looked at the food almost, then looked around, Wangchen and Shang Ming and Shang Hua, what they talked about is called a rise, originally the years of cultivators are very long, respectively, it is not strange to have hundreds of years, if you talk about it, you have to talk about it with wine, and you have to talk until tomorrow morning. However, Mu Yuan around him is still fighting fiercely with the food in front of him, and he has a sense of immortal Top Gun.

Chu Xunyu smiled slightly, then found a vacancy, walked out of the hall, and went to the garden downstairs to take a breath. As soon as they came to the courtyard downstairs and sat down on the stone bench, they met the young man Shang Jian who greeted them, and came with a pot of spring water.

Chu Xunyu looked at it, hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm not the kind of person who has rules, you don't have to see the outside like this, if you have the heart, just call me big brother, there are not so many courtesies." ”

Shang Jian smiled embarrassedly, this big brother didn't dare to scream, his cultivation was 108,000 miles away from Chu Xunyu, the rules of the Legalist family were very strict, and the etiquette was indispensable, this was set by Han Feizi back then, there are no rules, there is no circle, and the laws and regulations are like mountains. But between his eyes, he looked at the long sword behind Chu Xunyu again and again, and it seemed that it was difficult to let go.

"Oh, you like swords?" Chu Xunyu took the initiative to ask.

Shang Jian nodded and replied in a low voice: "Although I am a disciple of the Legalists, I have liked to listen to the stories of those swords and wine rivers and lakes since I was a child. ”

"Hehe, then you can cultivate a sword, the children of the family, I didn't say that you are not allowed to practice the sword path. ”

"Alas....... Shang Jian sighed, after all, he was a young man who had no experience in the rivers and lakes, so he opened the conversation box and poured out the bitter water in his heart. It turns out that the sword cultivation on the rivers and lakes is a rare group of people, although there are two factions in Shushan and Wudang to teach the way of sword cultivation in the world, but they are the children of the Legalist family, and they must practice the rules and regulations of their own family. After all, not everyone is as talented as Gongsun Yan and can be favored by the elders of the two factions. So no one at home cultivates swords, and if you want to learn, it's also a fool's dream.

Chu Xunyu looked at Shang Jian with a lonely face, and couldn't bear it, so he asked, "Then tell me, what kind of sword is in your mind?"

"Sword?" Shang Jian was stunned for a moment, and replied randomly: "My sword is a kind of Jianghu plot, a kind of long sword that can fight for the suffering of the people in the world, and the sword is my belief." ”

"Faith?" Chu Xunyu was stunned in his heart, looked at this honest young man, and suddenly smiled: "This sentence sounds familiar, we know each other because we are fated, can you recognize me as a big brother?"

Shang Jian has always had a dream of rivers and lakes, and when he heard Shang Qian boast about Chu Xunyu's skills at the banquet, he felt even more unbearable, and when he saw Chu Xunyu invited him again, he hit it off and called timidly: "Brother Chu." ”

Chu Xunyu laughed, took out a worn-out bamboo slip from his arms, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Your big brother is not called in vain, this, you take it, it is a sword cultivation method, you like swords so much, you can take it to study as a good student." ”

This bamboo slip was brought back by Chu Xunyu from the two poles, and what is recorded in it is another kind of sword cultivation path, which is different from Chu Xunyu's own, sword cultivation is also divided into categories, with its own regulations, and it must have its own ideas, but it is not imagined, holding a big sword, slashing and fighting everywhere, that is sword cultivation.

Chu Xunyu was too strong in his heart because of the hatred in his heart, and the affection was difficult to give up, so he found the current love sword all the way, what is recorded in this bamboo slip is that in the Han and Tang dynasties, a swordsman who practiced the family of the rivers and lakes started a mortal by robbing the rich and helping the poor, and he was talented. Chu Xunyu himself was not suitable, but the young man in front of him had the same dream of salvation as that senior, so he gave it to him.

Shang Jian was taken aback, thinking that Chu Xunyu was going to pass on the mantle, after all, Chu Xunyu was a cultivator in his infancy, and he could start a sect, and he was moved to tears at the moment, and he wanted to perform a disciple salute. Chu Xunyu himself was also surprised, he didn't expect such a misunderstanding, and quickly explained that this was not his own exercise, it was the mantle of a senior, but he couldn't have an extra junior brother, and he also made another apprentice.

"Before you take this bamboo slip, I will remind you one last sentence, the road of sword cultivation is very painful, but lonely, you have to endure the great perseverance that ordinary people can't bear, and ordinary people can't bear it, do you have this awareness?" After explaining the reason, Chu Xunyu handed over the bamboo slip, stopped in mid-air, looked at Shang Jian's eyes, and said seriously.

"Yes. Shang Jian's eyes flashed with an emotion, that emotion is called perseverance, which is the only talent that a sword cultivator must have, that is, great perseverance, great patience, and those who are not strong in character, without being told by others, will not be able to persist in the first place.

When Chu Xunyu saw this expression, he knew that he was not telling a lie, but a person who really loved swords, so he nodded and gave him the bamboo slip, "Go ahead, cultivate hard, one day, maybe we will fight upside down, and it will hurt to the bone." ”

This sentence is quite meaningful, it was told to Chu Xunyu by the person in the land of the two poles back then, but Shang Jian can't understand it now, and happily takes the bamboo slip and goes back to practice.

Looking at Shang Jian's excited figure in the distance, Chu Xunyu sighed slightly, raised his head and said to himself to the starry sky: "I promised you back then, one day, I would pass on the meaning of this sword, and now, I am doing it, but I have not broken my promise." This unintentional move of Chu Xunyu in the Legalist Garden inadvertently made the future generations have an additional Legalist sword saint story of "a square land, a sword is like a rule", of course, that is a digression.

After sighing for a long time, Chu Xunyu shook his head, put aside these thoughts, and asked among the flowers not far away, "Have you finished eating?"

"Hey, hey, so full, so full. A figure flashed out of the darkness, it was the laughing Mu Yuan, and then his face tightened, and he said: "Let's go, find a secluded and unoccupied place, I have a lot to ask you." ”

Chu Xunyu looked at the starry sky and smiled bitterly, and then went away with Mu Yuan, this is the noisy banquet of the Legalist family, the sword of the old man......
