12. Scheming

The gate of the courtyard was wide open, there were no guards, and it seemed to be deserted inside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Dugu Mu stood on the side of the door and welcomed Li Bing and the two in.

Li Bing only felt that the architectural style of the courtyard looked very old, it seemed to be the Spring and Autumn Period, 1,500 years ago. The pavilion is a solid wood structure, all fixed with mortise and tenon joints, and the white and black tiles are very solemn. The thin vermilion windows and white railings are carved with portraits of people holding various weapons, which are so old that some of the carvings are no longer distinguishable. However, the flowers and trees in the yard seem to have been well renovated and clean, which is very refreshing.

"Originally, there weren't many people in the Meridian Sect, so there were about thirty. In addition, these days, the mountain demons outside are raging, and many of the same people have gone out to remove the demons. So there was no one in the yard either. ”

Dugu Mu walked in the front, introducing the various layouts in the yard as he walked.

This small courtyard is the former residence of Master Sun Jian, but he never comes back and has no apprentices, so almost the entire courtyard has been empty. In front of us, the residence of our master's 'Ram Sword Master', the master likes to be lively, and there are many apprentices, and they are generally noisy. ”

The group walked along the avenue to the backyard, and Chun'er introduced the origin of the story carved on the railing from time to time: Dafan is the story of the great sages and generals of the military family.

As he got closer and closer to the backyard, the huge furnace he had seen in the sky before gradually appeared in front of Li Bing's eyes.

"Wow, it turns out that this thing is so big, I didn't think it was in the sky. ”

Dugu Mu pointed to the courtyard: "This is the residence of the 'Sword Master' and 'Han Jun'." In the entire Meridian Sect, in terms of forging technology, Han Jianzhu should be the first. But I can't take you in now. The sword master didn't like others to disturb him, and after the original apprentice came out, he didn't accept any more apprentices, and he always studied the forging technique in the courtyard alone......"

"Hehe, Brother Dugu, who are these two!" Suddenly, a little girl slipped out of the courtyard next to her, and she was estimated to be less than six years old. The little girl is a little chubby, and she is cute.

Chun'er beckoned to the little girl and called her to her side: "Caiwei, come here." These two are visiting guests, will the Sword Raider be inside?"

The little girl looked at Li Bing, not shy at all: "This little brother is so good-looking." After speaking, he replied to Chun'er: "My mother also went out, saying that the situation outside was not right in the past few days, and I went out with my other brothers and sisters." Now in the entire mountain gate, only Uncle Han is there. ”

She thought for a moment and said, "Oh, yes. It seems that the sect master has also returned just now. ”

Chun'er beckoned to Cai Wei and motioned for her to come over: "It's good that the sect master is here." He said to Li Bing again: "The courtyard opposite the Han Sword Master is the courtyard of the 'Ji Sword Master' and 'Raid Yun', and it is also the only woman among the four sword masters. The four sword masters' courtyards in front of this have all been seen, and the small room at the back is the residence of the sect master. ”

The little girl Cai Wei looked at Li Bing's eyes shining, "I'll help you call Grandpa Sun." After saying that, he turned his head and ran, and his little ass swayed, but he was really innocent.

"Sect Master Sun, Sect Master Sun. There's a guest coming!"

After shouting, before Li Bing and the others walked to the door, Sect Master Sun's door opened.

"Wow!"

Anzi couldn't help but scream, and Li Bing was also shocked.

The figure of the person in front of him is really terrifying, Li Bing's height will be able to level his chest, and his shoulders are even wider, the whole person stands completely blocking the door, the muscles on his arms seem to be thicker than Anzi's waist, and the blood vessels are like earthworms, exposed outside. His long hair was braided into a braid and hung down behind his back, a dark purple military uniform exposed his entire right arm, and a short but thick beard on his square face.

Sect Master Sun's eyes were sharp, and as soon as he went out, he saw the Tao Sword in Li Bing's hand, and said to himself with a half-smile: "This kid didn't come back to see his father for two years, but he sent his apprentice to let me worry about it." ”

looked at Li Bing again and smiled: "Xiaoyou, did my appearance scare you." Haha, don't be afraid, come in and sit. ”

Li Bing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, such a person stood in front of him, but there was a heavy sense of oppression, just looking at Sun Wuyi's size, it was difficult to guess that his father was so burly.

Li Bingbi respectfully hugged his fists and bowed: "Junior Li Bing, I have seen my grandson." Yasuko also introduced herself.

Sect Master Sun picked up Wei Wei and turned around and walked towards the room, but saw that Li Bing and the others were still standing in place, and only said, "Don't be restrained, the Meridian Sect is the most unruly." Come on in. ”

Li Bing still bowed his head shallowly, and followed Dugu Mu into Sect Master Sun's room.

After visiting a few close friends in Hui, Chiren planned to return to 'Mengwu Murwei', and finally returned to Jilu Prefecture by way.

There was no one guarding the city gate, and it seemed that a notice was newly posted, but only half of it was torn down.

A gust of wind passed, and a few white paper coins floated down the avenue to the city gate.

Chiren stepped on a page of money, picked it up and sniffed it.

There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

Looking at the deserted main road, I can't help but recall the scene of seeing the traffic here three or five days ago. In such a short period of time, how did Jilu State become like this.

Chiren felt a hint of unease, and his hand was already on the back of the short knife at his waist.

Along the deserted street, Chiren unconsciously returned to the front of the restaurant where he had a drink with Li Bing for the first time, and the door panel of the store was pasted with white paper, and a big "seal" was written on it.

"Woohoo!

Following the prestige, a man and a woman ran hand in hand and carrying a burden from one end of the main road.

Chiren hurriedly went up to stop him. As soon as he grabbed the man's sleeve, before he could speak, the man opened his arm: "Don't touch me, don't touch me." ”

Chiren had no choice but to jog a few steps with the two: "This little brother, what's going on?"

When the man heard this, he finally slowed down and gasped: "You are from out of town?"

"Didn't you see the sign at the gate of the city?"

"There is a plague in Jilu Prefecture, and many people have died, and everyone is afraid to go out. We plan to flee to a nearby city for shelter. Brother, listen to my advice, hurry up, I don't know when this city will be closed, and then I can only die inside. ”

The man rested slightly, asked the woman if she could still run, and when she nodded, he picked him up and hurriedly ran to the city gate again.

Chiren stopped when he got the news, stood in place and pondered for a moment, and was about to leave Jilu Prefecture, when he suddenly heard two screams in the distance behind him, and immediately ran over.

Near the city gate, a man and a woman just now had fallen to the ground and convulsed, covered in black blue, and a small piece of black blood oozed from the ground.

Chiren stretched out his finger and touched a little bloodstain and sniffed: "Sure enough, it's not an epidemic." ”

He just wanted to open the man's clothes to check for wounds, but suddenly glanced behind him with the rest of his eyes: the figure of a woman, dressed in plain yarn, holding a long sword.

"Hehe, I haven't looked for you yet, I didn't expect you to have been sent to the door. ”
