Chapter 59: Zhao Bufan's letter

Huashan Mountain is steep, the five main peaks are towering into the clouds, and the sunshine and temperature from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain are different, thus producing many microclimate regions, and also causing the flowering period of the same flowers up and down Huashan to be different.

Situ Xuan saw the budding apricot blossoms, his heart moved, and he remembered that the last time he followed Ning Zhong to greet Yue Buqun here, it was the day when the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, and unconsciously, it had been almost a year since he came to Huashan.

Dongfang Bai jumped back to the shore from the ice floe, walked to Situ Xuan's side, and followed Situ Xuan's gaze to see the apricot blossom buds that were about to bloom with the 'red wax calyx'. Dongfang Bai smiled: "I didn't pay attention to the beauty of apricot blossoms. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and broke off a branch, looked carefully at the red flower bones, and said to Situ Xuan: "Brother Situ, look at the red color of this apricot blossom when it is in full bloom, it is hard to imagine that the petals are white and clear after it blooms." ”

Fuzhi sighed lightly, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, Dongfang Bai and apricot blossoms also complement each other, Situ Xuan has given up exploring Dongfang Bai's gender, it is really difficult. When he heard this, he smiled and said, "So this is the creation of heaven and earth?" ”

Dongfang Bai poked the flower bud with his slender fingers, and then said: "Do you say that this flower is the same as a person, when it first came out of the rivers and lakes, it was full of blood and blood, and slowly became sleek and sophisticated, became a weighed pros and cons, and became a compromise and concession, when the whole flower and the whole person faded out of blood, the flower should be thanked, and the person should go." ”

Situ Xuan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Dongfang Bai to be able to say such profound words, but thinking of his master's life of 'Dugu seeking defeat' Huang Zhongtao, it is not difficult to guess where Dongfang Bai's sigh came from. Situ Xuan was about to sigh: Therefore, the most important thing in a person's life is not to forget the original intention, so that he will not lose himself.

I didn't expect Dongfang Bai, who had just sighed, to compare with the branch, only to see that he carried the internal force and continued to inject it into the branch, two or three buds actually slowly unfolded, and then Dongfang Bai retracted the internal force, and the few apricot blossoms that had just bloomed withered immediately, and the other buds were no longer the bright color before.

Dongfang Bai wrinkled his delicate eyebrows and said to Situ Xuan, "Thank you." ”

Situ Xuan was angry and funny, and said in his heart Where did this three cannons come from, you are pouring true qi and not immortal qi, not only do you want to order the flowering period, but you also want to play reverse growth? Isn't this funny. And the petals just bloomed, and they didn't really bloom, they were washed away by Dongfang Bai's true qi, and the flowers were already dead.

Dongfang Bai threw away the branch and began to fiddle with the icicle in his hand again, he wanted to use the icicle to refract the sun's rays and sparkle Situ Xuan's eyes. However, the surface of the ice pick is arc-shaped, scattering and diffraction more than reflecting, and it is good to be able to adjust the seven-color light, how can it reflect the sunlight?

Situ Xuan looked at Dongfang Bai and wondered a little in his heart: can this guy cultivate the "Sunflower Treasure Book", can he become the peerless hero with a gloomy heart and the best martial arts in the world, how can Dongfang Bai look a little lacking in heart now.

Dongfang Bai glanced at the direction of the sun, and casually asked Situ Xuan: "That's Chaoyang Peak over there, you took six silver medals to attract a large number of Jianghu people, let these people fight to the death to snatch the silver medals, how are you going to end up after that? Those who grabbed the silver medals are sleeping on Chaoyang Peak, and they have been squatting for more than a month, if they can't comprehend a fart, they still have to go crazy and find trouble with your Huashan faction?"

Situ Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart Don't look at Dongfang Bai's big grin and make two mistakes from time to time, his mind is very thoughtful. I have only been in Huashan for a few days, and I have already figured out a lot of situations. Situ Xuan immediately smiled and said: "How can the sword intent of the Grandmaster be easily comprehended, but these people have made some contributions, and they can be regarded as prospering the market in Huashan, so they will naturally give them a taste of sweetness after a while." ”

Dongfang Bai nodded and asked, "I went back and took a closer look at the inner and outer lists of your Huashan faction, do you want to use the inner list to hang these people and let them join the Huashan faction or be the guest of the Huashan faction?"

Glancing at Dongfang Bai, Situ Xuan thought to himself that with such a quick mind, you are really blind if you don't play tricks.

Then Situ Xuan said noncommittally: "The permission to use the inner list exchange is also a trump card, and when it comes out in the future, I will definitely have to make a fortune from them." ”

Dongfang Bai was concentrating on fiddling with the ice pick, but he didn't know if he heard it, or he wasn't interested, so he didn't answer anyway.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the forest, and a female voice like a yellow bird said: "This budding apricot blossom is really beautiful, the apricot blossoms under the mountain have already bloomed, but I didn't expect that there are still a large number of apricot blossoms on Huashan Mountain." ”

A young male voice in the period of voice change said: "For this kind of famous mountains and rivers, even if the summer is hot at the foot of the mountain, there may be snow on the top of the mountain, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are ten views on one mountain." My father used to take me to Emei and Qingcheng, and those two famous mountains are as good as each other. ”

The female voice said again: "I heard the sound of running water over there, Brother Gao, let's go over and take a look." After speaking, the voice became louder, and a girl wearing an apricot yellow skirt and a white skirt ran out of the woods, and saw Situ Xuan and Dongfang Bai standing next to the waterhole at a glance. Maybe she didn't expect there to be people here, she screamed in surprise.

Situ Xuan looked at the girl who suddenly ran out in some surprise, this girl's big eyes were smart, as if she was full of curiosity about the Huashan faction and the rivers and lakes, it was the young lady Wei Lai of the political envoy's family, I didn't expect this young lady to appear on Huashan.

Hearing Wei Lai's exclamation, a young man immediately rushed out of the woods and stood beside Wei Lai, holding the long sword at his waist with one hand and blocking Wei Lai behind him with the other.

The young man who came out later was the only son of Gao Shiqi, the head of the Bayu faction, Gao Legend, and when he saw Gao Legend Situ Xuan, he wanted to understand the cause and effect. I think it was Gao Shiqi who heard that the head of the Huashan faction was about to be handed over, and wanted to take advantage of his previous relationship with Yue Buqun to climb the friendship.

I thought of the people I saw in Dabazhai yesterday, Lin Peng, the drizzle sword, the 'Bashan Night Rain' Lu Expedition, the 'Wind Chasing Sword' Zhao Meng, and the sons of Lu Zhao and Zhao Badao.

Situ Xuancai suddenly woke up, although in his opinion, the strength of the Huashan faction has been greatly weakened and declined, and the Wuyue Sword Sect is not considered a group, but its reputation in the rivers and lakes is well-known, how many people are looking forward to being able to make friends with the Huashan faction and even the Wuyue Sword Sect, and in the future, if you have face in the rivers and lakes, you can also have a response.

It seems that his previous vision was too high, and he has been staring at Shaolin Wudang, but he didn't notice that the status of the Huashan faction in the rivers and lakes is actually not low.

As for how everyone in Dabazhai has the face to come to Huashan to congratulate, it is because there are more friendships on the rivers and lakes that 'don't fight and don't know each other'. Yue Buqun and Lin Peng made a move, although they cut Lin Peng's face, but this friendship has also gone down to some extent, and now Dabazhai licked his face and came to congratulate, and the Huashan faction had no reason to drive people away. As for whether they came to congratulate sincerely, or whether they heard about the various reforms of the Huashan faction and wanted to come to get a piece of the pie, it was difficult to tell.

Situ Xuan took the lead in clasping his fists and said: "I've seen Brother Gao, Miss Wei, I don't want the two of you to come to Huashan too, did you come with Gao Shiqi and Gao Daxia?" ”

Gao Legend has a very good impression of Situ Xuan, this young man is the same age as himself, but his martial arts are one day and another, and he has a gentle temperament and no arrogance.

The two fought once before, he was stabbed thirteen swords by Situ Xuan and couldn't deal with a sword, although he was frustrated, but Situ Xuan's guidance was just right, and it didn't hurt his self-esteem. After thinking hard, he realized that his martial arts had improved a lot in the past six months.

Gao Legend also bowed his hand and said: "I have seen Brother Situ, I came with my father and a few senior brothers, and I just arrived in Huashan today. ”

Now Huashan is crowded with people, the number of people in the rivers and lakes who come to congratulate is thousands, and the disciples who guard the mountain at the mountain gate have poisonous eyes.

The Bayu faction is not a famous faction, and was directly blocked by the gentle words, only saying that it was to invite the 10th day of the first month of March to watch the ceremony, and now there are too many congratulatory guests on the mountain, it is difficult to entertain thoroughly, and please rest under the mountain for two days.

Fortunately, Li Bucheng returned to the mountain to do errands, and when he saw Gao Shiqi and his party, he took them up the mountain. Gao Shiqi naturally went to see Yue Buqun, and those disciples gathered outside the exchange hall, drooling as they watched the martial arts, swordsmanship, and elixirs listed.

Gao Legend also wanted to understand the exchange rules, but Wei Lai was clamoring to find Situ Xuan, and no one in Huashan knew where Situ Xuan was, so the two inquired for a while and didn't even find Ling Hu Chong, so they prepared to go down the mountain for a tour, and look for Situ Xuan later, but they didn't expect to meet here unexpectedly.

Wei Lai walked in front of Situ Xuan, blinked his eyes and said, "Before, you promised that if you came to Huashan, you would take us on a tour, but now it is difficult to even go up the mountain, and you are almost blocked by the disciples under the mountain." ”

Situ Xuan said with a smile: "The so-called ignorant people are not to blame, Miss Wei didn't notify her before she came, otherwise who would dare to stop your Fang Jia?" Now that there are too many guests, we must always screen and take precautions in Huashan." ”

After speaking, the two were introduced to Dongfang Bai, as for Dongfang Bai's identity, Situ Xuan only said that he was a friend of his hometown.

Wei Lai glanced at Dongfang Bai, and felt that this person was delicate and charming, and it seemed that it was almost a woman dressed as a man, but such a handsome man was really rare, but what did it mean to carry an icicle in his hand. Glancing at Situ Xuan again, Wei Lai felt that although Situ Xuan was not handsome enough, and he was a young man with white hair, he had a gentle smile and polite manners, and he seemed to be more at ease and concentrating beside him.

Hearing that Situ Xuan did not introduce his identity, Dongfang Bai understood that he didn't want others to know about the relationship between the two, and then said to Situ Xuan: "Brother Situ, there are still some things under the mountain, so I will go down the mountain first for my brother, and I will come back to look for you another day." Situ Xuan and Dongfang Bai exchanged a look, and they understood each other's thoughts.

Dongfang Bai stuck the ice pick on the ground, reached out to retrieve his jade belt, and smiled at Situ Xuan: "It's too troublesome to call you Brother Situ, you are three or four years younger than me, and I will call you brother in the future." As he spoke, he fastened his belt.

Situ Xuan's face turned dark and he wanted to speak, but Dongfang Bai was the first to speak: "Don't disagree, unless you can beat me." After speaking, he kicked the ice pick that was stuck on the ground, and the ice pick broke into several knots, and Dongfang Bai stretched out his arms and copied all the broken ice in his hand, and then threw it to the small waterfall in a special way.

These crushed ice flew very fast, and there was an internal force attached to it, so the force was great, and it hit the mountain rock next to the small waterfall, and actually made a white mark, vaguely the word 'Oriental'. After that, Dongfang Bai turned around and left, and did not greet the two of them.

When Dongfang Bai was far away, Gao Legend exclaimed: "Although this brother Tai has a strange personality, this secret weapon is very tight. ”

Situ Xuan smiled secretly in his heart, where is Dongfang Bai's martial arts, what kind of secret weapon is specialized? People are clearly using hard power to fight, and first-class internal strength is supplemented by first-class eyesight and technique.

Wei Lai frowned and said: "How can I look at some femininity, if this person is a woman, then the personality is not strange at all." After speaking, he stared at Situ Xuan's expression, as if he was exploring something.

When he got closer, Situ Xuan found that Wei Lai's curl had something new on it, looking like an apricot yellow skirt, but the appearance was actually covered with a layer of fine white light yarn, which looked very noble. Compared with the white gauze and the skin, I don't know which one is whiter. Hao's wrist is as white as jade, and an emerald green jade bracelet is embellished on it, although it is a girl, it is full of charm.

Situ Xuan interrupted: "It's just a boy and a girl, so the personality is a little distorted." After speaking, Situ Xuan laughed first.

Wei Lai was not gullible, and his big black and white eyes looked at Situ Xuan with suspicion.

Situ Xuan asked Wei Lai, "Why did you come to Huashan?

Wei Lai said with a smile: "Your Huashan faction has made a big move, my father has paid attention to it, I told my father to come and see it in front of me, go back and explain it to him in detail, and I agreed after grinding two ****." ”

If I remember correctly, this political envoy is a figure who fights against powerful merchants, persuades farmers to teach mulberry, and wants to kill all the merchants in the world and return them to the rule of three generations. It seems that what he has done has attracted the attention of the highest magistrate in Guanzhong, Situ Xuan touched his chin and kept this matter in his heart.

Accompanied Gao Legend and Wei Lai up and down to visit several scenery of Huashan, and at noon called Ling Hu Chong to sit with the two of them, and then Situ Xuan sent Ling Hu Chong to accompany Gao Legend to make a move, although Wei Lai was a little reluctant to leave Situ Xuan, but Li Buying, who returned to the mountain today, found Situ Xuan, obviously had something to discuss.

Li Bucheng lost a lot of weight, but his spirit became more and more vigorous, and his eyes were blazing with a hint of evil. He was stationed in Huayin City for more than a month, and there were more than twenty people in the rivers and lakes he had disposed of, not to mention those troublemakers who were defeated under his sword. Now Huashan's 'Dripping Blood Sword' Li Buying's bloody reputation has spread in the rivers and lakes.

Situ Xuan knew that this uncle had an extraordinary understanding, and what was lacking was the shortcomings of internal strength and the experience of fighting the enemy, so he arranged him in Huayin City, which was like a crater, and sent people to send the latest elixir that was refined to nourish the body and increase internal qi in three days.

Sure enough, Li Buzhu is like a steel quenching, and earth-shaking changes have taken place in just one month. Now that I have faintly touched the bridge between heaven and earth, the day after tomorrow is just around the corner.

After a long period of contact with people from all walks of life, Li Bubu now has a bit of the posture of the rivers and lakes, and the contradictions of various factions are at his fingertips.

After the two chatted for a few words, Li Buyi took the lead and said: "Senior nephew, Linghu Senior Nephew asked someone to bring me a letter a few days ago, which was handed over to me by Bufan, Bufan knew that things were busy in the mountains, and he wanted to go down the cliff to help." ”

Zhao Bufan locked himself in Siguo Cliff last year to practice swordsmanship, Situ Xuan also learned from him a period of 'Xiyi Swordsmanship', and later Situ Xuan transferred to the 'Chaoyang Yiqi Sword', so he put down the 'Xiyi Swordsmanship'.

Ling Hu Chong has some talent for 'Xiyi Swordsmanship', and in recent days, Ling Huchong has taken over Situ Xuan to deliver food to Zhao Bufan, and at the same time followed Zhao Bufan to learn some tricks of 'Xiyi Swordsmanship'.

Since the end of last year, the Huashan faction has carried out a comprehensive reform under the auspices of Situ Xuan, and all the disciples of the Huashan faction have been so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, only Ling Hu Chong is too young and still delivers meals to Zhao Bufan every day. Every day, he talks about some changes and interesting things in the sect, and Zhao Bufan is itching in his heart, and he wants to go down the mountain to see all kinds of changes with his own eyes.

Zhao Bufan thought that crossing the cliff was a voluntary retreat, and he was not punished for making mistakes, so he could actually go down the cliff whenever he wanted.

But just when Zhao Bufan was moved, Situ Xuan took the first step to ask Ning Qingcheng's head to order, ordering Zhao Bufan to practice penance for three years in Siguo Cliff, and not to go down the mountain within three years.

still remembers that when Situ Xuan showed Zhao Bufan Ning Qingcheng's warrant, Zhao Bufan's face turned green, I am afraid that he really wanted to beat Situ Xuan violently.

Later, many people went up the cliff to see Zhao Bufan, and Zhao Bufan also found the crux of the problem, that is, the white-haired bad boy who kept smiling, in vain he used to think that this nephew was good, but he didn't expect to get into the cage, and this nephew turned around and helped him buckle the lock.

Zhao Bufan is also a person who wants to be faced, and he can't beg Situ Xuan, the master and nephew, so he paid attention to Li Buying, who had the best relationship with him, hoping that Li Buying could help him and 'rescue' Siguo off the cliff.

After thinking about this, Situ Xuan smiled at Li Bucheng and said, "Uncle Li, you don't think that your nephew is deliberately embarrassing Uncle Zhao." ”

Li Buyi shook his head and said, "Of course not, otherwise I will still mention this matter to you?" It's just that now the sect is really short of manpower, and the extraordinary martial arts mind is good, and you are still planning the martial arts competition of the disciples of the five factions, our Huashan faction has a thin foundation, and we should not idle such an outstanding disciple. ”

Situ Xuan nodded and said, "Uncle Li is sincere, I don't go around in circles with Uncle Li, I will say it directly if I have something to say." When I asked Uncle Zhao for advice last year, Uncle Zhao didn't say anything about teaching him, but he didn't shirk it in the slightest. Although I later changed to 'Chaoyang Yiqi Sword' and gave up 'Xiyi Sword Technique', I remember Uncle Zhao's kindness. Since I helped Uncle Li, I can't favor one over the other, so naturally I won't forget Uncle Zhao. ”

Hearing this, a bad luck flashed on Li Buful's face, and he said in his heart I really thank you for helping me, but the means are too rough, you want to help me. Thinking of several life-and-death battles this month, Li Buyi still has palpitations.

Situ Xuan didn't notice Li Buying's face, and continued: "Senior Uncle Zhao's temperament is arrogant, and in some places he is quite similar to my junior brother, he is too active and difficult to calm down. That's why I asked for the edict of my ancestor to lock him up on the Siguo cliff for penance, and also sent my junior brother to explain new things to him every day, just to make his heart like a cat scratch, that is, to sharpen his temperament. If under such circumstances, he can restrain his mind, not be moved by external objects, and go further, it means that Uncle Zhao has figured out some things and let go of some things, and then he can be expected. ”

Of course, Situ Xuan didn't expect Ling Hu Chong to dare to engage in such a 'small action' behind his back, but Ling Hu Chong is the kind of character that comes up, and he has a righteous personality that does not matter if he wants to die, and it is not a major matter that endangers the Huashan faction, so he helped Zhao Bufan pass the message.

Although he could understand and figure it out, Situ Xuan still decided to find an opportunity to make Ling Hu Chong suffer some hardships. The so-called eldest brother is like a father, how can you remember who is the 'father' without using some means?

Li Buyi smiled bitterly: "I really don't know how your head grows, so many strange evil ideas." Although he himself was bleeding and sweating, bitter and tired, thinking of the mental torment that Zhao Bufan was about to face, Li Bufu felt that his treatment seemed to be good.

When he said this, he naturally agreed with Situ Xuan's ideas and practices, and Situ Xuan said with a smile: "The so-called 'ten years to sharpen a sword', the longer this sword is sharpened, the sharper the sword will be. If possible, after three years, I will lock him up for another three years, and I will confine Senior Uncle Zhao to the Siguo Cliff until he breaks through the innate and even a half-step Grandmaster. ”

Li Bufu was surprised and said: "Is it feasible?" If you can touch the threshold of the grandmaster, it is worth suffering a lot, and at this moment, Li Bufu even faintly envied Zhao Bufan.

Situ Xuan chuckled: "It's up to people." ”

Li Buyi said with a sense of understanding: "Could it be that your sword drawing technique is the same, you are ready to seal the sword and build up momentum?"

Situ Xuan said with a smile: "Uncle Li is really thorough, I am ready to self-proclaim on Mount Hua for ten or even twenty years, and I will not kill people without a sword within twenty years." When I have enough momentum, my first sword will be sacrificed with the life of a half-step grandmaster, or even a grandmaster. ”

Li Bufu's cheeks twitched slightly, and he spoke: "Very ambitious ideas, very bold decisions, but can you not say so righteous and awe-inspiring, senior nephew? Obviously, you can't restrain the crape myrtle starlight, if you rashly go down the mountain, you will be ambushed by a hostile sect, you have to say that you have some great ambition and great ambition." ”

Seeing Situ Xuan's face suddenly darkened, Li Buyi felt a little happy in his heart, and continued: "In short, if you send a letter once, I can't make a single sound. In this way, senior nephew, you accompany me on a trip to Siguo Cliff, how about we talk to Bufan face to face?"

Situ Xuan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
