Next Chapter

"In the world, there are many mediocre people, but in ancient times, there are always some people who are wise enough to be sentient beings, or to play power in business, or to cultivate themselves and cultivate themselves, and eventually become a generation of heroes. ”

Syllable!

Mr. Storyteller is a gray-haired old man in his forties and fifties, and his voice is muddy and bright, and he speaks with a sense of vicissitudes of life.

"What we are talking about today is that the general trend of immortal cultivators in this world, the misty world, intricate, and the cultivation of one but the factions are clear, divided into six major factions, that is all with divine skills, and the door has a trick, but the most famous and powerful among them is none other than the Spirit Sword Pavilion. ”

Yun Ming carried a package, stood outside the circle of people, listening to the words of the storyteller, his heart was elated, he had no reason to be unhappy, a year ago, thirteen-year-old Yun Ming, was picked by an immortal from the Spirit Sword Pavilion, saying that Yun Ming's roots are strange, talented, and extremely suitable for cultivation, Yun Ming's family was not happy to hear it, the immortal immediately wrote a letter, handed it to Yun Ming's parents, and told Yun Ming that he would go to the Spirit Sword Pavilion to practice two years later.

Now, there is still a year to go from the two-year limit that the immortal said, in order to experience along the way, Yun Ming set off on the road half a month ago, and now he has been on the road for a long time unconsciously, Yun Ming estimated that the sky was about to get dark, so he rushed to this Xunyang City before it was dark to replenish accommodation.

"Today, let's just talk about the Spirit Sword Pavilion in the East China Sea, let's say that in this life, the longevity is only a hundred years, and even the most powerful among the immortal cultivators is only three or four hundred years old, but what about this Spirit Sword Pavilion, so far it is a humble real person in charge, and it has existed for a thousand years. ”

Wow! The crowd exploded at once, and the listeners were all surprised and discussed, and after a while the old man spoke again, he gradually calmed down.

Yun Ming smiled lightly and shook his head, the cultivation journey is endless, and the strength of a lifetime can not prolong life for a hundred years. The mortal world worships immortals and Shangdao, but it is a false rumor, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, looking towards a street, only to see that both sides of the street are crowded with shops and hawkers, and the street is even more crowded, rubbing shoulders, thinking in his heart: "I didn't expect that this Xunyang City is so lively, I can't eat in the forest these days, I must treat myself well today!"

Thinking of this, Yun Ming Dynasty walked forward, walked about a pillar of incense time, Yun Ming looked up, only to see an inn on the right hand, six stories high, quite large, extraordinary, the faΓ§ade plaque with the words "Zhonghai Building", Yun Ming fixed his body, and walked in.

"Guest officer dinner or accommodation?" Yun Ming had just walked to the door, and the shopkeeper greeted him quickly, leaned aside, and asked with a smile on his face.

Yun Ming looked at the shopkeeper, walked into the store, and said with a smile: "Both eating and lodging, if there is anything delicious, just come up and leave me an upper room." ”

"Okay! The guest officer will sit down and wait!" The shopkeeper tore off the towel hanging from his neck and pulled it on the stool a few times before turning around and trotting to the back kitchen.

Yun Ming's family is not rich, but it is by no means poor, Yun Ming's parents run three teahouses in their hometown, and when they set off to Lingjian Pavilion, their parents took out three hundred taels of silver, which is nearly half of the savings of this well-off family.

Yun Ming threw the package on the table, sat at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, sniffed it lightly in front of his nose, took a sip, Yun Ming shrugged his nose, obviously, for Yun Ming, who was born in a tea family, the free coarse tea and fresh water in the inn did not satisfy him, but Yun Ming did not care, for more than half a month, Yun Ming relied on his childhood to learn from the famous martial arts masters in his hometown Qingyang Town, although he could not have the power of penetrating the sky and the earth, leading the wind and thunder, but the body was still strong, and there was no problem with self-defense, so since the departure, Yun Ming has basically walked in the forest, eating wild fruits and game, drinking frost and dew stream water, and sleeping on the ground by the sky, In order to wear the stars and the moon, day and night, and arrive at the Spirit Sword Pavilion that made him think about it day and night, and was haunted by dreams, although he encountered wild beasts several times, and was even targeted by thieves once, but fortunately, Yun Ming was cautious and witty, and all of them turned danger into danger, and there was no danger, and because of this, the three hundred taels of silver tickets that Yun Ming carried with him were almost untouched.

The next table is a family of three, the four or five-year-old boy is naughty and naughty, only running around the table while giggling, the man who looks like his father, holding a mouthful of food with chopsticks in his hand, shouts in his mouth: "Little ancestor, you slow down, you eat this bite and then run!" and the young woman who looked like her mother sat there, her face bulging, presumably she was angry with her father by the naughty and naughty boy.

Yun Ming smiled lightly, how could it not be like this when he was young, his father Yun Yiren has been honest all his life, honest and honest in business, and he really doesn't even let go of a penny, the only thing that has success in his life is that he knows everything about tea, and how many bad goods are mixed with good goods, whether it is new tea or old tea, Yun Yiren can see at a glance.

And his mother, is a spicy and stubborn but thoughtful woman, in charge of all the financial power of the family, the business of the teahouse is not small, there are a lot of chores, the second child in the store is a little erroneous, waiting for a storm of scolding, even Yunming is no exception; 。 Therefore, people are all in awe and awe of this knife-mouthed tofu-hearted proprietress in the world, but they are all loyal and hard-working.

The shopkeeper implemented Yun Ming's words very thoroughly, and put on eight signature dishes in the store, all of which were full of color, fragrance, and deliciousness, Yun Ming was a little surprised in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "How much are these?" The shopkeeper bent down and said: "If you return to the guest officer, this restaurant is good and cheap, just these dishes, other restaurants don't have a hundred taels to take, but in this store, only seventy-five taels is enough, and there are two dishes, you seeβ€”β€”"

When Yun Ming heard this, he scolded in his heart, the black shop was too dark, but he said in his mouth: "Don't want it, don't do it, there are so many dishes, I can't eat them all by myself, and I don't want the rest!"

"Okay, you go!" Yun Ming waved his hand and let Xiao Er go, "These things are not even worth thirty taels in the best restaurant in Qingyang Town, and when they get here, they cost seventy-five taels, more than doubled, this shop is really dark!" While scolding silently in his heart, he muttered in his mouth: "It's also to blame me for what I said, I want him to bring up all the delicious food, alas, I set off from my hometown for more than half a month, and it cost less than ten taels, and today I spent seventy-five taels on a meal, what a loser!" Where can I eat so much?"

"Eat, eat!" was when Yun Ming was muttering to himself, at this moment, another guest came in from the Zhonghai Building, Yun Ming followed the prestige, and saw a young woman with a smile on her face coming over, sixteen or seventeen years old, with moth eyebrows and bright teeth, fine skin and tender skin, fairy and jade, approachable, dressed in green silk like brocade, only tied with a gold belt, wearing a moonlight dress, fluttering clothes, but slightly stained, it seems that it is also a long journey.

The woman was beautiful, Yun Ming looked a little stunned, and before she could answer, the woman sat opposite Yun Ming with a smile on her face, looking at Yun Ming who was holding chopsticks, Yun Ming was a little embarrassed and surprised, stunned, and stammered: "Aunt, did the girl think I ate?"

The woman was still smiling all over her face, Yun Ming only felt that this girl was laughing, her big eyes were bent into a crescent moon, she was eccentric, her arms were pressed on the table, her skin was pink and tender, very cute, and she only heard the girl smile a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, I'll help you, naturally you can eat, alas, I've always liked to help others, known as "timely rain", today you are lucky, you got the help of this girl, hehe! These things are all trivial!" As she spoke, the girl waved her hand vigorously to show that she was not at all abiding.

Yun Ming's mind was a little sluggish, and he felt completely incredible, he had nothing to say for a while, his mouth opened a few times, but he still couldn't answer, he could only smile a little stiffly: "Uh-good, good!"

"Then we-" The girl's eyes widened and brightened, revealing a sense of cleverness, and at some point she had raised her chopsticks, and then chuckled, "Start?"

Yun Ming didn't know what to say, he only felt that he was out of the house, and sure enough, his knowledge would become broader, and when he saw it today, it was really good, it was the first time he had met such a cheeky person, but looking at this woman, she was beautiful, smooth and jade, although her clothes were a little stained, but she was elegant and valuable, and it was by no means something that ordinary people could afford. ”

As soon as Yun Ming's words fell, the woman had already swallowed her mouth, gobbling up her mouth, while eating, she actually beckoned Yun Ming, her mouth was full of food, her cheeks were bulging, her eyes were staring at the table without blinking, and she said vaguely: "Quick, eat quickly, don't be polite!"

Yun Ming only felt embarrassed and incredible, and was stunned for a moment, only to suddenly find that the woman was like a wind and clouds, and a third of the food on the table had gone in a moment, and he was no longer polite at the moment, picked up the chopsticks, and cleaned the food with the woman.

"Hiccup"

The woman hiccuped indecently, after a while, the two of them gobbled up, the wind swept away, a table of food was also eaten, there was not much left, chopsticks were thrown on the table, on the plate, at this moment, both of them were leaning back against the seat, stroking their stomachs, feeling that they were about to explode, Yun Ming picked up the cup and wanted to drink saliva, but when it came to his mouth, he felt that he couldn't hold anything anymore, so he had to put it back on the table again.

Yun Ming has never had such a good appetite in his life, after the two of them had a big meal, they couldn't help but chat, the girl talked loudly, talked elegantly, and talked about everything, all of which were the general trend of the world, the feelings of all parties, Yun Ming had never heard of it, had never seen it, and couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

Yun Ming was secretly surprised in his heart, there is a way that a woman is not talented and virtuous, but he didn't expect the woman in front of him to be a well-educated person.

The two were talking and laughing happily, and suddenly the shopkeeper came to clean up the table and plates, and asked with a smile, if the two of them hit the small shop, the villain immediately asked someone to clean up the room!

Yun Ming was about to speak, but the woman suddenly blushed, straightened up, paused, arched her hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Yun Ming for your hospitality, the little woman is grateful, that, you see it's getting late, the little woman still has to find a grass hut, a stable or something, so that she can spend tonight, so it is inconvenient to disturb more." With that, he slowly moved his chair back, slowly stood up, and made a gesture to leave.

Yun Ming said to the woman very deed, and he was very happy in his heart, even if he spent a few more silver taels, he would not take it to heart, and immediately said, why should the girl be like this, it is inevitable that she will be shy when she goes out, since you and I are so in love, what is it for me to invite you to stay for one night!

The girl couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, the son is really chivalrous, since this is the case, you are not welcome!

The shopkeeper took the order, and the two sat down and couldn't help but have a long talk, and when it came to the end of the fun, the woman beckoned to the shopkeeper and asked for two pots of wine.

Yun Ming was very surprised, and did not show weakness, while drinking and talking, the woman heard that Yun Ming came from the south, so she asked about the customs and people in the south, Yun Ming chatted about the food and play in her hometown, the woman listened to it with relish, and when she heard Yun Ming say proudly, she couldn't help but pat her legs and stomp her feet, laughing, and there was no feminine demeanor at all.

Yun Ming is not good at words on weekdays, but at this moment he is also talking, the woman took over the conversation, talking about her childhood, her eyes were quite excited, and said: The little woman came out this time, it has been more than a month, and there is no stop during the period, I don't know how many distances I have rushed, and the water and rice have not entered, this time I am really grateful to the son for reaching out!"

Yun Ming said with a smile: Where is it, money is something outside the body, if you can make a friend, even if you spend ten times more, it will be worth it!

"Once you know each other, why do you know your name? In the next person is called "Timely Rain", you can call me Timely Rain!" Although the woman was very arrogant, she was hesitant in her heart at this moment, and she said in a hurry.

Yun Ming couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly said in his heart, shouldn't he know his name after he got acquainted? Could it be that there are such rules on the rivers and lakes? Yun Ming thought about it in his heart, but he didn't want to reveal her name, so he didn't ask any more.

But in this way, the two of them had nothing to say, and they were embarrassed for a while, Yun Ming was about to speak, but the woman said first: I had a good conversation with my son today, but I was not strong enough to drink, and I was tired from hurrying, so the little woman went back to the room to rest.

The girl nodded and smiled at Yun Ming, slowly got up, and slowly walked upstairs.

Yun Ming was lying on the bed in the room, his hands were pillowed under his head, and his face was quite immature, and he couldn't help but show a smile, Yun Ming was born in a merchant family, although his family was wealthy, but he was the only son, and there were very few people of the same age around him, and now he was drinking and chatting with this woman, but he felt the joy of his life, at this moment the two had returned to their rooms, but Yun Ming couldn't help but recall the woman's voice and smile in his mind, and said a word.

"Wait!" Yun Ming sat up suddenly, the light in his eyes flowed, and he suddenly remembered what the woman said during the meal: The little woman has been out this time, it has been more than a month, and there has been no stop during the period, I don't know how much distance she has traveled, and the water and rice have not entered, this time I am really grateful to the son for reaching out!

"This woman turned out to be a cultivator!"

With a squeak, Yun Ming gently opened the door and looked left and right, the courtyard was quiet and abnormal, the air was slightly hot and humid, there was an aspen planted in the courtyard, the leaves were motionless, there was no trace of wind, Yun Ming stepped out of the door, turned around, and gently closed the door.

Since that woman can not enter the water and rice for a month, then eighty percent is the cultivator she has longed for for a long time, since she was targeted by the immortal of the Spirit Sword Pavilion a year ago, Yun Ming set off a year earlier, it can be seen that Yun Ming has admired for a long time on the way to cultivation.

As soon as Yun Ming guessed that the woman was a cultivator, he was curious to sit or stand, but although the woman was playful and naughty, between the words, Yun Ming could see that she was unwilling to reveal her real name, and when she hesitated, she felt a little depressed, so she walked out of the door to breathe.

The sky was completely dark, and there was no trace of moonlight in the dark night sky, only the dark clouds moved slowly, and only a ray of moonlight could be seen leaking down between the clouds.

The courtyard was lined with guest rooms on all sides, and in front of the door was a corridor with many unknown flowers, red and white, planted under the porch, and even in this dark night, they were fragrant. In the courtyard, four bluestone paths connect the four guest rooms, only in the middle of the courtyard, and the paths separate four pieces of land, all of which are flat and green lawns.

"It looks like it's going to rain," Yun Ming strolled down the corridor, his palm lightly resting on the railing, his eyes staring at the moonlight in the night sky, a little stunned, while muttering to himself: "I don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow, I just hope that the rain will stop tonight, and I can hurry tomorrow." ”

"Huh, how did I get to her door?" Walking aimlessly, Yun Ming looked up and unconsciously walked to the woman's room, drinking and talking with the woman during the day, although she didn't see her for a while, she actually missed her a lot, and at this moment she was more and more curious because of her identity as a cultivator.

"Is there anything wrong with Yun Gongzi?"

Just as Yun Ming was hesitating and wanted to turn back, the woman's voice suddenly came from the house, Yun Ming was very surprised, and said in his heart: Sure enough, he is a master, and he already knows that it is me before they meet, Yun Ming is a little embarrassed, and panicked: "Oh, it's nothing, I'm sorry!" Yun Ming's eyes were a little hesitant, and after a long time, he finally chose to turn around and go back.

"Squeak!" As soon as Yun Ming turned around, the woman's door suddenly opened, and a graceful, fairy-like woman turned out behind the door, it was the woman during the day, and at night, the moonlight was misty, sprinkled on the woman's delicate face, Yun Ming even found that the woman had eyebrows and teeth, beautiful and beautiful, and the moonlight was sprinkled on the woman's moonlight robe, Yun Ming found that the woman's waist was tied with a jade pendant shaped like a snowflake, which looked beautiful and cold.

"I see that Yun Gongzi is the same age as me, but I see Yun Gongzi in the dust, as if he has been out of the house for a long time!" The woman in white is not as hippie and smiling as she was during the day, but dignified and elegant, quite a bit of a lady's appearance, and chuckled.

The woman in white was originally beautiful, but at this moment there was a gentle smile on her face, Yun Ming only felt like a fairy descending to earth, and couldn't help but be a little sluggish, and hurriedly lowered her head, and stammered a little: "Oh, yes, that's the case, I was favored by the immortals of the Spirit Sword Pavilion of the East China Sea a year ago, and saw that I had some talent, and asked me to go to the Spirit Sword Pavilion to practice in two years. When Yun Ming said this, he felt a little complacent in his heart, after all, being selected by the East China Sea Spirit Sword Pavilion was not something that anyone could do.

"Oh?" Unexpectedly, although the woman in white was a little moved, she was not as surprised as Yun Ming imagined, and the woman continued: "The Spirit Sword Pavilion of the East China Sea is a famous sect that is now cultivating a sect, and there are countless masters among them, Yun Gongzi can worship under the Spirit Sword Pavilion, and the future is limitless. The woman's voice was gentle and beautiful, which made Yun Ming a little stunned.

Yun Ming smiled lightly, and said a little helplessly: "I heard that the path of cultivation is unfathomable, and even if you shoot a horse in the future, I am afraid that it will not be as good as the girl's tenth!"

When the woman in white heard Yun Ming say this, her face was shocked, and her eyes flashed coldly, at this moment, she only heard a choking sound, and a milky white light appeared out of thin air, and suddenly broke out, Yun Ming only blinked an eye, only to see a seven-foot fairy sword emitting white light already across his neck.

"Ahh,,,h

Yun Ming was confused by the woman in white, and was about to speak, but the woman in white had a face like frost, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she pressed Yun Ming and said, "How do you know that I am a cultivator?"

At this moment, Yun Ming was pressed on a chair by the woman in white and sat down, and the faint fragrance emanating from the woman in white drilled straight into Yun Ming's nose, coupled with the horizontal blade of the sword, which made Yun Ming, who was already panicked, even more at a loss, and stammered even more when he spoke: "You, you said during the day that you haven't eaten for more than a month, I guess how a mortal who usually has no cultivation can go without eating for a month, and he is strong if he can last for three days," Yun Ming's eyes didn't dare to look directly at the woman in white, just lowered his head, and his face was a little feverish, and continued: " Speaking of which, I'm still wondering, look at the girl, you are dressed luxuriously, you don't look like a poor family, how can you not eat for a month?"

As soon as the woman heard Yun Ming finish speaking, she was stunned for a moment, and then as if she breathed a sigh of relief, she fell back and pinched the sword trick with her backhand, and the seven-foot fairy sword was like stars scattered in the night sky, disappearing into invisibility, the woman raised her hand and patted her chest, as if talking to herself: "My God! After a pause, she blushed all of a sudden, glanced at Yun Ming, and smiled shyly at Yun Ming: "Oh, it's okay, I'm really sorry! I treated you like this just now, I didn't get hurt, just now you said outside the door that I was a cultivator, I thought you were sent by someone who came to chase me, what did you ask me just now?"

Yun Ming saw that this woman was going to fight and kill for a while, and then she showed a cute state again, she couldn't help but open her mouth, speechless, and after a while, she finally calmed down, her eyes were no longer so flustered, and said: "Just now I asked you why you can't eat in January? I have another question, why are you being hunted down?"

The woman suddenly became a little shy, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Hehe, I was in too much of a hurry when I went out, so I didn't bring anything, and I want to correct you for a mistake," Speaking of this, the woman in white pinched her waist and said righteously: "I was chased, not chased and killed!

Yun Ming was speechless, his face was full of frustration, and after a while, he said helplessly: "Are you afraid that you will be caught by the people chasing you, so you don't dare to say anything, right?"

The woman in white seemed to have been exposed, and even a little angry, for a long time, like a defeated rooster, she lowered her head and took a deep breath and said: "Okay, you can see it, the person chasing me has vast powers, and the tracking technique is almost unmatched in the world, for more than a month, I have been incognito and traveled long distances, but I can feel that he is getting closer and closer to me now." With that, the woman sat down on the chair and sighed deeply, her brows full of sorrow.

For a while, the woman in white frowned tightly, thinking about her own thoughts, Yun Ming didn't know what to say, and there was a sudden silence between the two, and the air was awkwardly quiet.

"What's your name?" After a long time, Yun Ming took the lead in breaking the silence and asked tentatively.

When the woman in white heard this, she pursed her lips tightly, her face was full of shame, but she only shook her head and didn't say anything.

Yun Ming was embarrassed for a while, his hands were clenched together, he was a little sweaty, he took a deep breath, plucked up his courage and said, "Can I help with anything?"

The woman in white lowered her head, still pursing her lips, and her hands didn't know where to put them, but she shook her head again.

She raised her head and glanced at Yun Ming, then immediately lowered her head again, and said softly: "I'm sorry, you still don't know, it's like telling you, I'm afraid it will hurt you." ”

"Okay!" It seems that after a long time, Yun Ming took a deep breath, smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart, you Yun Ming has no power to restrain the chicken, since people don't want to tell each other, why meddle with things?" "Tonight's events make people cry and laugh, and there is no interest in asking any more, thinking of this, Yun Ming stood up and said with a bitter smile: "It's not a person from the rivers and lakes, don't ask about enmity and hatred, the girl is so strong in cultivation, but there is nothing to do, Yun Ming is a rotten wood, presumably even if he knows, he can't help." Yun Ming took a deep breath, nodded with a chuckle at the woman in white who raised her head to look at him, with a bitter look on her face, raised her hand and clenched her fists, and said solemnly: "The girl is the first friend I have met since I traveled, but the girl has something inconvenient to tell me, so I won't bother more, tonight is over, we will have a date later!"

The woman in white looked stunned, hurriedly turned around, looked at Yun Ming's departing figure, opened her mouth a few times, but in the end she still didn't speak, for a long time, Yun Ming's figure disappeared, but the woman in white stood in place, motionless, at this moment, she said a little bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I really can't tell you." After a pause, the woman in white suddenly shrank her pupils, her face was cold, she raised her head, resolutely, as if she was talking to the roof above her head: "You won't embarrass a person who is powerless, uncle?"
