Chapter 7: Deep Talk
There was a bang.
The snow deposited on the yurt fell with the opening of the door curtain, Li Xiuyu cat's waist, and entered Mo Tongsheng's yurt, the room was extremely simple, a makeshift bed, a somewhat swaying fire, Li Xiuyu fixed his body, and the strong light outside made him not quite adapt to the dimness in the yurt.
He patted the snow on his feet and stood next to the fire.
And from beginning to end, Mo Tongsheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch and meditating quietly, didn't even open his eyes.
Li Xiuyu stared closely at the gently swaying fire, as if he was afraid that it would no longer have the strength to burn at a certain moment.
Whew, Li Xiuyu turned his head to look at Mo Tongsheng, took a deep breath, and said, "It's not a small trouble, there are many people here." ”
Mo Tongsheng finally opened his eyes, looked at Li Xiuyu by the fireside, and suddenly smiled.
Just like the glacier and snow field at this moment, the spring breeze of March ushered in, and the warmth hit people.
Mo Tongsheng smiled meaningfully: "Senior Brother Li's cultivation is profound, and he has experienced a lot in recent years, and he is decisive in killing, so he must not take these people in his eyes." ”
Li Xiuyu naturally heard a little irony, but he didn't care, turned around, stared at Mo Tong and said, "You and I are out of the same door, this trip to the snowy region, we must not lose the face of the Spirit Sword Pavilion." ”
Mo Tongsheng was stunned when he heard this, and said with a straight face: "Senior Brother Li has gone out to investigate, what does Senior Brother Li think?"
Li Xiuyu finally turned his head, still staring at the fire, for a while, he shook his head puzzledly and said: "This time the Drifting Snow Building seems to make everyone in the world know, the three sects and nine streams, all of them are here, there are countless cultivators outside, they all want a piece of the pie, nothing else matters, there is a stake, there is a strange thing," he paused, and continued: "Look at the three-story pavilion outside. ”
Mo Tongsheng was a little strange, got up and opened the curtain to look out, the three-story attic was too conspicuous, there was no need to look for it, it could be seen at a glance. Mo Tongsheng didn't know why, and looked back at Li Xiuyu.
"That's a magic weapon!" Li Xiuyu looked up at Mo Tongsheng, with an inexplicable taste in his eyes, and said quietly.
Mo Tongsheng was shocked, he didn't see the look in Li Xiuyu's eyes, and asked Qisheng: "Is there such a wonderful magic weapon in the world, and who is its owner?"
Li Xiuyu didn't say so many words on weekdays, he was a little tired, took a deep breath of cold air, and paused: "The name of this building is Suixin Building, it is more than 100 years ago, there is a self-proclaimed Suixin Taoist in the countryside, this person is not high, but he is a master of refining magic weapons, this Suixin Building is the most proud work of his life, this thing can be big or small, and when fighting with people, the enemy can be trapped inside, it is really powerful, and later... ”
Li Xiuyu was stunned again, raised his eyes to look at Mo Tongsheng, and said: "Later, the palace master of the Demon Sect Zhuyue Palace at that time fell in love with this magic weapon and wanted to buy it at a high price, but the Suixin Building is a thing that can not be negotiated by the Taoists, so he politely refused, thinking that it was okay, but unexpectedly, the palace master of the Zhuyue Palace actually went out in person, killed the Suixin, and took this Suixin Building. ”
Mo Tongsheng listened, his beautiful eyes were lightly picked, filled with righteous indignation, and he said hatefully: "The people in the Demon Sect are really ruthless, not to mention the love of others, they actually kill people and kill people, it is really hateful!
Li Xiuyu was still so calm, and said: "The Zhuyue Palace Lord at that time is the one who dominates Chu Land today and commands the Demon Sect!"
Mo Tongsheng was stunned and speechless.
The word Honghu is really thunderous for today's Lingjian Pavilion, and the memory is profound, this person is not only cultivated to be unfathomable, the Tao is profound, but also makes the people of the rivers and lakes jealous that this person has unparalleled wisdom, clever calculations, full of intrigues, a few years ago in the South China Sea treasure hunting case, the Demon Sect poured out of the nest, although the Lingjian Pavilion Drifting Snow Building North and South Iron Armor Castle jointly resisted, but still greatly underestimated the strength of the Demon Sect, the head of the South Iron Armor Fort, Qu Jingyang's beloved son was unfortunately killed, Qu Jingyang himself was seriously injured, the foundation was damaged, the head of the Spirit Sword Pavilion was killed, the first Yuwenkang of the Discipline Hall was killed, and what is even more regrettable is that Li Bohong, the head of the Drifting Snow Building, and his wife broke into the Valley of the Dove King alone to save the junior brother Chun YuyanUnfortunately, both were killed, and the righteous sect was defeated in this battle, and the elite disciples of each sect were killed and injured countless times, and the mainstays were all lost.
And among the initiators of these deaths and injuries of righteous people, there is a figure of one person, Honghu, and what is even more chilling is that no one has seen his true face.
The tranquility in the air was maintained for a long time, making the originally cold light even more dim, Mo Tongsheng was stunned for a long time, and finally spoke: "Few people know about this matter?"
Li Xiuyu rubbed his hands, frowned, and said, "This matter is strange here, there are many people who know about it!"
Mo Tongsheng was shocked and asked, "Since there are many people who know about this matter, isn't he afraid of revealing his whereabouts?"
The weak fireworks swayed gently on the stove, as if they would be extinguished at any time, Li Xiuyu squinted, frowned, stared at the flames, and was silent.
After a while, Mo Tongsheng said again: "Didn't you say that there is another strange thing?"
Mo Tongsheng's words pulled Li Xiuyu back from his contemplation, and Li Xiuyu spoke: "Yes, there is one more thing that makes me very strange. ”
After a pause, Li Xiuyu said again: "Although as early as a year ago, the news that the treasures of the Extreme North Snow Region were about to appear had been widely circulated on the rivers and lakes, but the time and place of the appearance of the treasures were transmitted by the Drifting Snow Tower, which was very close to the Extreme North Snow Region, but about whether this news is true or false, other sects are far away, who will travel thousands of miles and come to verify it in person?"
Mo Tongsheng never expected Li Xiuyu to say such a thing, and exclaimed: "Although Piaoxue Lou has been hidden for many years, after all, it is also a decent family, I'm afraid that it will not deliberately spread false news, why did you say this?"
Li Xiuyu's eyes were shining, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly stared at Mo Tongsheng and said, "Because of the news of the appearance of the treasure, no one has come here until now!"
Mo Tongsheng was even more shocked.
The leader of the Demon Sect appeared here in a high-profile manner, as if he was determined to win, and the news from the Drifting Snow Building made everyone in the world know, but he did not show up, which made Li Xiuyu think and meditate hard, but he was still puzzled.
Mo Tongsheng was also puzzled, and after a while, she finally put away her frightened look and said: "This is a big matter, once it sets off a storm, it is definitely not for you and me to save it, we must tell the real person in charge, and he will make a decision!"
Li Xiuyu was silent, and after a while, he finally nodded.
Yun Ming was actually very strange, he was very curious about who Chu Zhengxing who brought him to this extreme northern snowy region.
Because when he looked out from the three-story attic, he could feel that there were many fewer people on the street than usual, I don't know if it was because of Chu Zhengxing's earth-shattering words that day.
Most likely, it's because of that earth-shattering sentence.
You say, if these people had known that I was coming, would they have traveled thousands of miles to this place where birds don't?
Powerful people, so powerful.
Yun Ming stood in front of the window, looking at the endless snowfield, today is a good weather, the sky is so blue, the earth is so white, this small village has become the only dirt in the whole world.
He began to believe that as long as Chu Zhengxing was willing, he could erase it effortlessly.
But what made her even more curious was why Chu Zhengxing treated him so well, a little-known and powerless fourteen-year-old boy, was it because he had common interests and hobbies with him?
Yun Ming laughed self-deprecatingly, the more he thought about it, the funnier it became, so he laughed, bent over and laughed, leaning forward and back.
At this time, Chu Zhengxing walked over and said, "What makes Junior Brother Yun laugh so happily, let's hear it." ”
Yun Ming smiled breathlessly and said angrily: "Just now I was thinking, my brother's cultivation is profound, and his strength is monstrous, but why do you treat me like a nameless boy, probably because you and I have common interests and love, okay, you say this reason is ridiculous?"
Chu Zhengxing listened, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and gradually the whole face had a smile, and in the end, he actually laughed with Yun Ming and the two of them, and he was out of breath.
After laughing for a long time, the two finally stopped laughing, not knowing the so-called laughter, Chu Zhengxing said: "Little Brother Yun, since you and I have already intersected and acquainted, why do you have to understand why, come on, I still have some good tea, you and I talk about the world, isn't it a beautiful thing to sit quietly and taste tea?"
Yun Ming is seventeen years old, since the eastward journey, he has seen the cunning of Shangjia, the warmth of human affection, the cruelty of murder, and the bloodshed of murder.
However, this defense was unknown, and Yun Ming had no choice but to smile and say, "Exactly." ”
The two of them sat on both sides of the tea case, the pot is a good pot, the cup is a good cup, compared to the tea stall on the side of the ancient road last time, it is really much smarter, the water vapor, the smoke is vast.
Chu Zhengxing used the hot water that had just been boiled from the stove to scald and wash the pots and cups one by one, put them aside, took out a porcelain jar from the dark box, opened the jar, and inside was a tea leaf that appeared as a light purple tea with the leaves stretched.
Yun Ming's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly stepped forward, twisted out a grain and looked at it carefully, Chu Zhengxing smiled and said, "Does Junior Brother Yun know what kind of tea this is?"
Yun Ming looked at it for a long time, then put the tea leaves in front of his nose and sniffed it carefully, and after thinking for a long time, he said uncertainly: "In the past, before the younger brother went out, he ran a tea house business at home, and he saw countless varieties of tea, but this alone is really never seen by the younger brother. ”
Chu Zhengxing laughed and said, "Even a person like Junior Brother Yun, who is proficient in the tea ceremony, has never seen it, so Chu can't help but feel a little complacent in his heart." ”
Yun Ming frowned, stared at the tea in his hand, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "Although the younger brother has never seen it, he seems to have read it in the books at home, if the younger brother says something wrong, the elder brother should not laugh." ”
Chu Zhengxing was pouring boiling water into the teapot with tea leaves, and said with a smile: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Yun Ming put down the tea leaves in his hand and said eloquently: " Hearing that the unknown place in southern Xinjiang, there are medicine diggers who strayed into this place, smelled a strange fragrance, looked for incense and left, found that under the deep valley, on the bank of the stream, there are two unnamed trees, one high and one short, one thick and one thin, the two trees are intertwined, born together, just as a couple snuggle up to each other, and the aroma is also emanating from here, its leaves are narrow and small, the orchid fragrance is strong, the medicine diggers are overjoyed, the greedy heart wants to take it for themselves, one day, the two tea trees are planted at home, but a few days later, the two tea trees died due to the soil and water adaptation, it is a pity, since then this kind of tea tree has also been extinct, never appeared againThe only leaves on the two trees were also smelled by the tea merchants, and they were made into the only unique product, named Husband and Wife Orchid, and sold at a high price. ”
When Yun Ming finished speaking, the steps of washing the tea had been completed, Yun Ming had already smelled an unusually strong orchid fragrance, and the orchid fragrance was mixed with the fragrance of tea, which made people very intoxicated, Chu Zhengxing was using a wooden clip to put the porcelain white cup in front of Yun Ming's case, picked up the pot, poured it up, and said: " Brother Yun is right, the elder brother admires Brother Yun's tea knowledge very much, as the younger brother said, people's greed and greed have made the unworldly tea tree extinct in the world, which is really hateful, but with Chu's knowledge, the hateful thing about the medicine digger is not that he wants to keep the treasure for himself, but that he wants to keep the treasure for himself, but he does not have the ability to preserve him, even if the tea tree continues to live in the world, one day, it will be snatched by others, isn't it?"
Yun Ming sniffed the moisture in the porcelain white cup, the tea and orchid coexisted, took a sip, full of strange fragrance, heard Chu Zhengxing's words in his ears, but there was an awe-inspiring chill in his heart, Yun Ming put down the cup in his hand, but did not answer, and said on the stove: "Brother Chu said that he wanted to give me a treasure, Yun Ming has no merit and no virtue, and he deserves it." ”
Chu Zhengxing smiled slightly: "Junior Brother Yun, don't be in a hurry, just now Junior Brother Yun asked me to be so young to you, naturally it is not because you and I are both familiar with the tea ceremony." ”
Chu Zhengxing paused, raised his eyes and looked at the young man opposite.
This is an ordinary teenager, he is not much smarter than ordinary people, nor much stronger than ordinary people.
But at least, this is a child with good talent for cultivation.
Chu Zhengxing's technique of passing through the soul is indeed not a lie, although this kind of thaumaturgy has only been practiced for a few years, and he is not proficient in it, but looking at a person's soul, the root and bones, are already perfect, when he was in the ancient road tea stall that day, Chu Zhengxing did not pay attention to it at first, just as a passerby, and when the two of them sat at the same table and sat idly with tea, Chu Zhengxing used this thaumaturgy to investigate.
"Spirit Sword Pavilion is so powerful," Chu Zhengxing's Dao has no head and tail, and there is no reason for Dao's.
When Chu Zhengxing was at the ancient road tea stall that day, he said the same thing, Lingjian Pavilion, an ordinary disciple, went down the mountain to find fate, and was able to find such a talented talent, which shows that Lingjian Pavilion has mastered this ability for hundreds of years, and has already taught many disciples.
And if it weren't for the trip to the South China Sea many years ago to get this divine soul thaumaturgy, he still wouldn't have this ability.
Suddenly, he began to worry a little about his plans for this far north snowy region.
Looking at this energetic young man, Chu Zhengxing suddenly remembered another child, a child with the same talent, and a child who was still in infancy and had already lost his parents.
In front of him, he is a person with an infinite future, a person who will show his strength in the Spirit Sword Pavilion, and a person who will become famous in the rivers and lakes.
Chu Zhengxing understood the difference between the two, he was a person who was not tolerated by the Spirit Sword Pavilion, and Yun Ming would become a disciple of the Spirit Sword Pavilion, but Chu Zhengxing disdained to kill such a powerless young man, not to mention that they had the same interests and hobbies!
He breathed a sigh of relief and stopped thinking about it.
Yun Ming was still very stunned, it was true that he was picked by the Spirit Sword Pavilion, but he really didn't expect that he would be able to reach the point that Chu Zhengxing said.
After being stunned, he calmed down a lot, and after a while he said, "Is this enough?"
Chu Zhengxing had already drunk three cups of tea, and he said, "This is enough," after a pause, he suddenly said meaningfully: "And I believe that one day, you and I will fight side by side." ”
Yun Ming was still a little hesitant, because he didn't know who Chu Zhengxing was, but he was much more relieved, at least he knew the reason, knowing the reason meant that he wouldn't hurt himself, and more importantly, he also promised to give himself a treasure!
Yun Ming was in a better mood, stood up, walked to the window, looked outside, and said, "There are still a lot of people!"
Chu Zhengxing also walked to the window, standing with his hands in his hands, the room was as warm as spring, but it was still cold outside, Yun Ming turned his head to look at him, the cold wind blew on Chu Zhengxing's face, his hair and beard were scattered, and the whole person was like a bladeless heavy sword, with a magnificent momentum.
Chu Zhengxing suddenly smiled meaningfully: "The more people, the more treasures we can get!"
Yun Ming couldn't understand this person anymore.
A small bronze tripod stands on the desk, the mouth of the tripod exudes a thick heat, if you sniff carefully, you can smell a strange fragrance, if you look closely, you can find four milky white pills at the bottom of the tripod.
Clumsy one hand on the top of the tripod ear, some white brilliance from the clumsy somewhat dry hand emanated, there are also some medicinal materials placed on the case, clumsily put these clean medicinal materials slowly into the tripod, the hot gas seems to be an extremely terrifying temperature of the flame, the medicinal materials just entered the tripod, at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly shrinking, some slag fell, was absorbed by a round hole at the low end of the bronze small tripod, so that as for the pill that was about to be formed, the shrunken medicinal materials slowly turned into a small ball of cyan liquid.
Refining pills is a very labor-intensive thing, there is already some sweat on his clumsy forehead, as the head of the Spirit Sword Pavilion, he has not refined pills for a long time, and many disciples can refine the pills that are needed in many doors, but this time, he is refining a few pills that are quite difficult, and he has to go into battle in person.
Chen Qin stood a little farther away, watching the last procedure completed with a trembling mind, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he hadn't made a move for too long, so long that even his big disciple didn't know what the head of the sect was doing, but today he finally understood something, at least it was completely impossible to refine this elixir by himself.
The cyan liquid was evenly sprinkled on top of the milky white pill, and it was instantly absorbed into it and disappeared.
Chen Qin noticed that his clumsy body was already trembling slightly, and refining four pills at the same time made this unfathomable old man a little stretched, Chen Qin sighed slightly, he understood that as the head, he didn't need to work so hard, and there was no need to work so hard.
Until a few days ago, the Spirit Sword Pavilion's unique messenger bird sent a message back from the snowy region of the extreme north, and the content of the letter made him a little uneasy.
As one of the biggest names in the world, there should be few things that can make him uneasy.
But soon, this uneasiness intensified, but it was so inexplicable.
So he urgently summoned Tang Yubo, the first seat of Longxue Island on the three islands of the floating sea, to discuss with Chen Qin, and finally decided that Tang Yubo would go to the snowy region in the extreme north to deal with the sudden and treacherous situation.
Tang Yubo felt that the real person in charge was making a big fuss, even if Honghu really went to the snowy region in the far north, what he did was just for treasures, but the head insisted on doing so, and Tang Yubo would not be able to say anything more.
Chen Qin hurriedly caught up, supported the clumsy real person who was a little crumbling, took out a white handkerchief from his body, and wiped the sweat stains for the clumsy.
Clumsy's face was a little pale, and he smiled and said, "It's old, it's useless." ”
Chen Qin carefully wiped his sweat and said, "Master is not old, but this medicine costs too much." ”
Clumsily smiled again and said, "Your Uncle Tang must think that I am old and brave." ”
Chen Qin sat down clumsily and said, "Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Mo is a great talent, and Uncle Tang is cultivating to the sky, this trip will definitely be thrilling." ”
Clumsily looked at Chen Qin, knowing that he hadn't finished speaking yet, and didn't speak, sure enough, Chen Qin continued: "But this matter is full of suspicions, and it is good to have an extra layer of assurance, but it is just hard Master." ”
Clumsily opened his hand, and in a crystal clear jade bottle, there were faintly four pills rolling, and he said with a solemn face: "In the matter of the South China Sea, my righteous path has been damaged, and now that Honghu is gone, this person has unparalleled scheming and treacherous calculations, I am afraid that he has bad intentions, and I can rest assured with an extra layer of protection."
Chen Qin's heart froze, and he said for a long time: "The incident in the South China Sea, I'm afraid it has taught all of us a lesson, and now that there are treasures in the snowy region of the extreme north, my righteous people must have been on guard for a long time." “
Clumsily sat quietly, and after a long time, he handed the jade bottle to Chen Qin and said, "Tell you Uncle Tang to go." “
Chen Qin should have retreated.
