Volume I, Chapter XXIII

It has been almost half a month since Lu Xingyun left Sanssouci Valley. During this period, there were more and more rumors about the Water Cold Sword, and they became more and more complicated. There is news that Lu Xingyun has gone to "Zixia Villa" with the Shui Han Sword. There is news that the Shui Han Sword was snatched away by an unknown gray-clothed master. There is also news that Shui Hanjian has not been walked by in "Zixia Villa" at all. ...... Anyway, as long as you can think of a version, there are even more and more mysterious.

It's just strange that no one has seen Lu Xingyun since he was chased by the "Huangquan Swordsman" and Yan Wuying that day. It was as if Lu Xingyun had suddenly evaporated from here.

In this half a month, it is enough to spread the news of the Shui Han Sword to everyone. There were even some people who ran to Cloud Town specifically for the Water Cold Sword. Instead of congratulating the old owner of Shangguan on his birthday.

Cloud Town was originally an unknown town in the north. However, since the news of the Water Cold Sword spread in the rivers and lakes, this Cloud Town has also become famous. There is even such a saying - in this life, you can not go to "Zixia Villa", but this Cloud Town can't help but come. It can be seen how conspicuous this water cold sword is on the rivers and lakes. Conspicuous. It's also troublesome. Lu Xingyun is an example. In the past half a month, Lu Xingyun has not appeared except for secretly seeing Yan Wuying once. Not just to escape trouble, but also to investigate something in the dark.

That day, Lu Xingyun said to Yan Wuying that when he was done, he would go to the "Li'erju" to find him. However, Yan Wuying said, you must go to "Li'er Residence". However, I'll be in Cloudtown during this time. Maybe I can help you again. Lu Xingyun didn't insist anymore, and toasted Yan Wuying with a jar of wine.

To say that this Yan has no shadow, since he was separated from Lu Xingyun. It was true that he came to this Cloud Town, but no one paid attention to Yan Wuying's arrival.

That day, Yan Wuying came to the outskirts of Cloud Town. He simply disguised himself, put some mustache on his clean chin, and wore a hat to cover his face.

In this way, Yan Wuying swaggered into Cloud Town. Perhaps it was during this period that there were more people from outside, and Yan Wuying's outfit did not attract the attention of those people.

"It seems that something big is really going to happen in this Cloud Town. Yan Wuying looked at these faces that were not there yesterday and whispered.

On the way, Yan Wuying was also worried. There are quite a few people here who know him. Especially the two brothers Jiang Huang and Jiang Quan, the "Huangquan Swordsmen". But that's the way the world is. The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.

Not long after Yan Wuying arrived in Cloud Town, he met the two brothers of "Huangquan Swordsman" on this street.

"Big brother, I see. Let's forget about this water cold sword. Tomorrow, let's just go directly to "Zixia Villa". Jiang Quan, who was walking towards him, said with some unwillingness.

Yan Wuying's nerves, which had already relaxed, suddenly tensed up after hearing Jiang Quan's voice. For fear of being recognized by them.

Yan Wuying was only five zhang away from the two brothers of the "Huangquan Swordsman" at this time. The two brothers of the "Huangquan Swordsman" are not good. Although this Jiang Quan is very arrogant, this brother Jiang Huang is a thoughtful person. This "one knife achieves the Huangquan Dao, and one knife sends you to the Huangquan" is not a casual saying.

I just heard that Emperor Jiang said, "It's okay." But it's too early for "Zixia Villa" to pass. This cloud town hasn't been very quiet lately. Let's take a look first. ”

At this time, Yan Wuying happened to walk past Jiang Huang. The spirit is also tense. Although Yan Wuying is confident that he is good at light work, his psychological cultivation is still somewhat lacking.

"In my opinion, this "Zixia Villa" is not ......" Just as Yan Wuying walked over, he heard Jiang Huang whisper.

"It's finally over, but fortunately I didn't recognize it. Yan Wuying's heart suddenly relaxed.

But what Yan Wuying didn't know was that when he just walked over. Jiang Quan also glanced back at him.

"Why does this person's back look so much like Yan Wuying. Emperor Jiang was suspicious in his heart, and looked at Yan Wuying, who had already gone away. "It doesn't seem to be him, didn't Yan Wuying disappear with Lu Xingyun?!"

"Big brother. What are you looking at. Jiang Quan asked curiously.

"Oh. It's nothing. Looks like I'm overthinking. Hehe" Jiang Huang said as he drank Jiang Quan and walked towards an inn.

These swallows have no shadow, if you knew. I will definitely get acquainted with Emperor Jiang again.

Cloud Town is still Cloud Town, but in the past half a month, there have been more and more people in Cloud Town, and many of them are a little scary. It was as if people from all over the world were rushing to this cloud town.

At this time, Yan Wuying was on her way to a calligraphy and painting shop. Yes, it's this painting shop. It is the calligraphy and painting shop where Lu Xingyun bought his paintings a few days ago.

That night, when Yan Wuying said he was going to stay in Cloud Town. Lu Xingyun gave Yan Wuying a jade pendant. This jade pendant is made of the finest purple cold jade from the depths of the South China Sea. The jade pendant is not big, it is round, one side is a starry cloud map, and the other side uses the word "Lu" written in a small seal.

Lu Xingyun said to Yan Wuying, "Cloud Town is not a good place for now. You take this jade pendant and go to the "Ancient Ink Painting and Calligraphy Shop". Show it to the shopkeeper. He'll show you how to do it. ”

Not long after, Yan Wuying stood in front of the door of the "Ancient Ink Calligraphy and Painting Shop" that Lu Xingyun said.

Without hesitation, Yan Wuying walked in. Although, he didn't know what Lu Xingyun asked him to do here. But he did it anyway. It's an absolute trust in a friend.

Yan Wuying's outfit walked into the calligraphy and painting shop and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the store. Because, at this time, there are only two people in the store. A guy, a boss who traded with Lu Xingyun that day.

Perhaps because of the Water Cold Sword, although there are more and more people in this Cloud Town, no one comes to patronize this inconspicuous calligraphy and painting shop. Not to mention that it's noon.

I saw Yan Wuying walking into the store. The guy also walked quickly towards Yan Wuying.

"Does the guest officer look at the text panel, or the picture scroll? We don't have a lot of stuff here, but it's all good. The man said, pointing to the room full of calligraphy and paintings.

"Call your boss. I have something to show him. Yan Wuying said coldly.

The shopkeeper was looking at a painting not far away, a painting that Lu Xingyun bought that day. When I heard it, Yan Wuying said that. The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and walked over.

"I don't know what the guest officer, what's the matter?" the shopkeeper arched his hand to Yan Wuying.

Yan Wuying, looked at the buddy, and then at the shopkeeper, but did not speak.

When the shopkeeper saw Yan Wuying's actions, he immediately understood something. immediately said to the guy, "Xiao Ji, you look at the store first." If someone comes to me, say I'm not there. ”

Xiao Ji nodded and said, "Yes." Boss. ”

The shopkeeper paused and said, "Guest, please come with me." ”

Yan Wuying followed the shopkeeper to the inner hall.

"Guest officer. I don't know ...... you," the shopkeeper asked hesitantly.

Yan Wuying didn't speak, took out the piece of purple cold jade pendant that Lu Xingyun gave him from his arms, and handed it over.

When the shopkeeper saw Yan Wuying take out this purple cold jade pairing, he suddenly became serious. The shopkeeper took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a long time. Only then did he say slowly, "Down there is Lu Xingyun's friend, Gu Mo." I don't know if you're a friend, is Lu Xingyun okay?"

Seeing the sincere and eager gaze of the shopkeeper. The stone in Yan Wuying's heart finally fell. said in a low voice, "There is no shadow in Xiayan." A friend I just made with Lu Xingyun. Lu Xingyun is fine. It's just a little troublesome, so I can't come in person" It's just that there is no coldness in this gloom.

"Yan Wuying. You are the Yan Wuying of the "Golden Swallow Shadowless" known as the Flying Swallow. The shopkeeper Gu Mo said in disbelief.

"Hmm. It's me. Yan Wuying replied.

"Lu Xingyun's friend is my Gu Mo's friend. Lu Xingyun should have asked you to come to me to avoid the limelight. If you don't dislike it, you can call me Big Brother Gu. That's what Lu Xingyun called me the same. The shopkeeper looked at the jade pendant in his hand and said with a relaxed worried expression.

Because, Lu Xingyun said. If, one day, someone comes to him with this jade pendant, either he is in danger or he can't come because of something. And the people who can take the jade pendant are not just anyone. Because, the one who came from the jade pendant is my friend, and it is also your friend, and I will do everything I can to help.

"Hmm. Big Brother Gu. Lu Xingyun, I want to ask you, how is that bad? Yan Wuying was also grateful in his heart, and as he spoke, he secretly thought to himself, "Lu Xingyun, this friend is really right. ”

"There is news from Dongfang Hai that there does not seem to be this person on the rivers and lakes. It should have hidden its identity. Also, they will arrive at "Zixia Villa" in early May. Let Lu Xingyun rest assured. After speaking, the shopkeeper Gu Mo took out a piece of paper from a dark compartment and handed it to Yan Wuying.
