"As far as I know, there is also Tongzhou Tianjueqin, Zhang Zhenren of Yanzhou Qingyun Sect, but it is said that he traveled far away in his early years, and he is no longer in the sect all the year round, and he is also a laughing swordsman in Linzhou, and Tianjizi of Qingzhou Xuanji Gate, last time I was a guest with Shizun, he chatted with Shizun quite speculatively, and I don't know much about the rest, you also know that Shizun never talked to me about this, and I have been staying in the palace, but I guess there are always one or two hidden masters in those famous sects. Fang Jin scratched her head, this kind of master is not a cabbage, it is everywhere, and every state and faction can produce a representative figure.

"Isn't there one in Yinzhou?" asked Xiao Shu.

"Yinzhou? Fang Jin rolled his eyes and patted his chest, he was a veritable pseudo-heaven and human realm, and he was a cultivator, and in three or five years, he would be able to become a Dan Feixian.

"Come on, looking for you? Xiao Shu smiled and shook his head, if you want to break through to the realm of heaven and man, it is definitely not possible to study on your own, you have to find a few people of the same level, those lone knights are not easy to find, but the masters of the sect, if you can run a monk, you can't run the temple.

"What, are you going to hurt each other with these people to seek a breakthrough?" Fang Jin looked at the mentally retarded expression on his face, which one of the pseudo-heaven and human realm was easy to provoke, just saying that the sword monarch of thirty years ago, before breaking through the heaven and man realm, was almost invincible in the world, and he alone made the evil demon sect shrink for ten years.

"What hurt each other, I am asking them for advice, learning from each other can make progress, do you think everyone has an immortal master, and they all have an immortal book in front of them?" Xiao Shu pinched Fang Jin's face and pulled hard, he couldn't get used to Fang Jin since he was a child, and he was itchy when he saw it.

"You let go...... Why do they want to teach you?" Fang Jin rubbed his flushed cheeks, as usual, he splashed buckets of cold water one after another, the two of them were used to tearing each other down, just to find you awkward.

"They don't teach Xiao Shu, so the disciples must teach. Xiao Shu patted Fang Jin on the shoulder.

"You mean...... Pretend to be their disciple and go to learn secretly?"

"I didn't say anything......"

"Qingzhou Xuanji Sect recruits disciples every year, and the calculation time is about the same. Fang Jin smiled and gave Xiao Shu a look.

"Let's go, while it's still snowing, I'll go to Qingzhou for a walk. Xiao Shu stretched his waist, he didn't go to steal learning, but to learn brightly.

During this time, Xiao Shu felt as if he had gotten out of his state of selflessness and returned to the past, and the carefree Xiao Shu came back, but after saying goodbye to Fang Jin, layers of frost spread from the bottom of his heart, freezing all emotions in his eyes and turning into a hollow.

Qingzhou is located in the north than the south of Yinzhou faster into winter, the cold wind howling, the snowflakes fall on the cloak, there are almost no pedestrians on the road, the dirt road becomes slippery because of the relationship between rain and snow, Xiao Shu rides a horse slowly, and there are occasionally a few snow buntings flying over in the silent sky, which is even more vast.

All the way to the north, often three or five days to meet a village, most of the time Xiao Shu is directly on the snow overnight, he holds the inner yuan deep wind and snow does not invade, but his horse can not stand the cold, less than ten days to die, helpless can only bury the horse, on foot, Qingzhou is not far from Yinzhou, but there are more than a thousand miles of road.

Even under the starry night, more than a month has passed when Xiao Shu saw the Yanguan on the border of Qingzhou, even if he carried a red umbrella with him, he still couldn't stop the wind and snow in the sky, his clothes were as hard as stones, the corners were full of thin ice cubes, and his eyebrows and hair were dyed with a layer of frost, but this daily resistance to the internal invasion of cold air made Xiao Shu's inner yuan cultivation go to a higher level.

"Lord Han, we have been waiting for almost a month, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is teasing us?" A general in the Yanguan City Tower complained, more than 20 days ago, an Imperial City messenger ran and killed seven horses in a row, and hurried to Yanguan to deliver a message, and asked them to wait here for a young man named Xiao Shu with a red umbrella.

This is good, Yanguan is located on the border of Qingzhou, the number of merchants is countless, to find out a person from it, it is simply impossible to do it, in desperation, can only be checked one by one at the city gate, the original easy errand, but busy them.

"Nonsense, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a message, how can he tease him, maybe the person has not yet arrived. Lord Han immediately interrupted, talking about the prince in public, he would not do such a thing.

"The subordinate has a conjecture, I don't know ......"

"What do you want to say?"

"It's freezing on this day, our Qingzhou is located in the north, and it's even colder, even if the caravan occasionally disappears, how can ordinary people live outside for a month? The general realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said his inference, in order to make up for his mistakes.

"What you say is not unreasonable, so let's wait another ten days, and if no one comes, I will personally go and confess to the prince. Lord Han groaned for a long time and made a decision.

"Why should your lord go in person, just send someone to your subordinates when the time comes. ”

"You know what, do as I say. Lord Han said.

"Yes, sir. ”

Outside the city gate, Xiao Shu walked slowly with an umbrella, and three or two officers and soldiers looked at him and whispered, "Red umbrella, could it be him?"

"We've seen more than a dozen people holding red umbrellas this month, and I guess it's not. ”

"What's that man's name?"

"It seems to be called something. ”

"Forget it, this person will not be a friend of the prince at first glance, he is dressed like ordinary people, which of those nobles in the imperial city is not a carriage when he goes out, and wears gold and jade. ”

One of the officers and soldiers stepped forward and said, "Where are you from, and what are you doing in Qingzhou?"

"Yinzhou, come to find the Xuanji Gate. Xiao Shu said, he heard the words of those officers and soldiers clearly, but he had no intention of hiding anything.

"Yinzhou, what's your name?" the leading officer and soldier frowned and asked, hearing this, could it be that the main lord had arrived.

"Xiao Shu. ”

"This ...... Hurry up and inform Master Han! Xiao Gongzi, please come with me. ”

Xiao Shu chuckled and shook his head, "This kid is really messing up." ”

Following the officers and soldiers into the city tower, they were greeted by a middle-aged man in a purple official uniform, and the officer and soldier introduced, "Lord Han, he is Xiao Shu." ”

"Xiao Gongzi, the lower officials finally waited for you. Lord Han looked sincere, even a little flattering, personally made tea for Xiao Shu, and ordered people to arrange for Xiao Shu to bathe and change clothes.

"No need, are you?" Xiao Shu politely refused.

"Xiaguan Yanguan stabbed Shi Han Qing, and he has been waiting for Xiao Gongzi here for a long time. Han Qing smiled, everything is easy to say when people come, and he doesn't have to go to Yinzhou to accuse.

"Fang Jin asked you to wait for me?" In fact, you don't need to ask Xiao Shu to know that no one else would do such a thing.

Xiao Gongzi said cautiously, the current prince is Chongjin. Han Qing's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly reminded.

"If he can figure it out, what does he say?" Xiao Shu asked.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the lower officials to send the prince to the Xuanji Gate, and left you a letter and a fan. Han Qing took it out of his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Shu, in fact, this thing had been thrown on the table by him, and he only took it with him when he heard that someone had arrived.

"Xiaoshu, you left in too much hurry, I forgot, the last time I went to the Xuanji Gate with Shizun, that day Jizi gave Shizun a folding fan, but Shizun didn't care, so he gave it to me, I kept it and didn't remember, I remembered as soon as you left, you hold this fan, they won't embarrass you. ”

After reading the letter, Xiao Shu opened the folding fan, different from ordinary landscapes, flowers and birds, there was nothing on the plain white fan, and the front and back were blank, this was an unfinished fan, and there was nothing unusual about it.

But he couldn't see anything for a while, Xiao Shu closed the fan and put it away, "Lord Han, I don't know where this mysterious door is?"

"Xuanji Gate is indeed in Qingzhou, but it is not Yanguan, but in Hengling Zhongshan, Xiao Gongzi wants to go here and continue to go north, calculate the time, it will take three days to whip the horse. Han Qing naturally knows everything and says everything.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask you. ”

"Xiao Gongzi, please speak. ”

"I wonder if there is a swordsmith in Yanguan?" Xiao Shu asked.

"If Xiao Gongzi wants to buy a sword, I can just give an order, why bother casting a sword?" Han Qing was puzzled, this sword casting is not a matter of three or two days, and a good sword can easily take a year and a half.

"It's a private matter. Of course, Xiao Shu was not because the red leaves were not used well, but after coming to Qingzhou, he suddenly remembered that he had destroyed a woman's sword, and promised to pay compensation, but I don't know if they are still in Qingzhou, or if they have returned to Qingyun Sect.

If Xiao Gongzi wants to cast a good sword, there is a sword mountain in Qingzhou Que Saddle, and it is rumored that there is an old man with a sword, who casts swords all year round, but never sells, only gives to people who are destined, and many famous swords in the rivers and lakes are from his hands. Han Qing said with some trepidation, for fear that Xiao Shu would blame him.

"How many days will this Xuanji Sect recruit disciples?" Xiao Shu asked.

"The Xuanji Sect is an authentic sect, as far as I know, they recruit apprentices at the end of the year every year, and only accept ten people, which is about this time. ”

"That being the case, thank you Lord Han for informing me, and I won't stay longer. Xiao Shu got up and said goodbye, it is the end of the year now, and he will miss it if he delays it for a few more days.

"Xiao Gongzi might as well stay for a few more days, and the lower official can send someone to send Gongzi there." Han Qing hurriedly said, he didn't want Xiao Shu to leave so soon, he finally waited for someone to come, so he didn't say a few words before leaving, and when the prince asked, he would inevitably fall into the crime of poor hospitality, and he also expected him to give himself a few good words.

"No need, if Lord Han has the heart, just prepare a fast horse. Xiao Shu didn't bother to break Han Qing's careful thoughts.

Han Qing saw that Xiao Shu insisted on leaving, and he had no choice, so he had to ask people to prepare a fast horse and a full hundred taels of silver, Xiao Shu was speechless for a while, but he didn't say much, his ten taels of silver all the way down was indeed not much.
