Chapter 22: The Conspiracy Emerges

Fang Ling'er is smart and intelligent, if she is not from a poor background, she is definitely a famous strange woman. She is not only proficient in poetry and songs, but also her attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are never lost to any lady. She is like a piece of jade buried in the original stone, once the edge is revealed, the grass chicken will become a phoenix, and the phoenix will dance for nine days.

Yuan Bao felt surprised in his heart, he never thought that Fang Ling'er was just an ordinary and ordinary girl from the Shui family, but she had a beautiful temperament and talent. Moreover, he faintly felt that Fang Ling'er in front of him revealed a noble temperament from his bones, and his body was also full of aura, and in terms of physiognomy, the heavenly court was full, and it was definitely the life of great wealth and nobility, not an ordinary fisherman's daughter.

A few days ago, Fang Ling'er sat elegantly, caressing the strings with her onion jade fingers, and suddenly, the beautiful sound of the piano sounded on the river, and she actually played a pipa song on the seven-string guqin.

Yuanbao was born with incomplete tones and no rhythm, but he was also fascinated by listening. Ling'er closed the song, and he clapped his hands. Even Rhubarb seemed to be stupid, squatting beside Fang Ling'er, looking intoxicated.

Later, Yuanbao's interest was also raised, and Rhubarb didn't stop him, so he had to sing with Fang Ling'er Luanfeng and Ming.

At sunset, Rhubarb was in a hurry on the deck, not knowing what to do.

Fang Ling'er's eyes looked at Yuanbao and said, "What does Childe want to sing?"

"Of course, it's "Haoran Righteousness", this is a chivalrous song that has been inherited for thousands of years!"

"Haoran righteousness?!" Fang Ling'er's eyes seemed to brighten up at this moment, and she glanced at the dragon slaying sword that was obliquely inserted into Yuanbao's waist, and the blue waves in her eyes flowed, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart at this moment.

The beautiful and familiar tune of "Zheng Zheng ......" sounded again, different from the erhu played by the old man in Tianchi in the grove that night, the old man of Tianchi is a person who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, and plays in a low voice with a sad erhu, the tune is slow and sad, touching the deepest sadness in people's hearts.

At this moment, Fang Ling'er's piano sound is full of tune, and there is a faint charm with a bit of unearthly charm, which makes everyone who listens to it feel refreshed.

Yuan Bao moistened his throat and sang with the sound of the piano: "Light Qiu long sword, fierce horse singing, loyal liver and righteous courage mountains and rivers......"

"Zhen Zhen ......" Fang Ling'er seemed to be startled, and the sound of the piano suddenly became chaotic.

Rhubarb tilted his head and pretended to be dead on the deck, with a very painful expression.

Yuan Bao was stunned, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, this ...... It's not that ugly, is it?"

It took Fang Ling'er a long time to wake up from the shock just now, looking at the young man in front of her who was gorgeously dressed, handsome, and temperamental, she really couldn't imagine that this ingot's singing was really ugly enough, and it was completely inherently incomplete.

After a long time, Fang Ling'er came back to her senses, smiled slightly, and said, "Childe, I'll sing it first." ”

The sound of the piano rose again, and the beautiful and moving singing added a bit of poetry to the magnificent Yangtze River, especially when the sun set, there were water waves with golden light everywhere, shining on Fang Ling'er's snow-like skin, like a fairy in the dust above the nine heavens, which made people not have a trace of blasphemy.

"Light Qiu long sword, fierce horse singing. Loyal to the liver, righteous and courageous. is a good guest who comes and goes, and dares to sit on an equal footing with the emperor. Tenderness and iron-boned, a thousand promises, smoke waves before and after his death. What a rich and noble person, the sword light flashes like a cry like a song......"

Of course, Fang Ling'er's singing voice and ingots are not the same, the so-called yellow warbler out of the valley is to describe Fang Ling'er, and the broken gong is to describe ingots.

Her singing voice is crisp and loud, with a bit of girlish youth, but she sings "Haoran Righteousness", which has been sung for thousands of years, with a chivalrous style.

"This sound should only be ...... in the sky" Yuan Bao glared, and for the first time he really felt that his singing voice was indeed incomplete. The girl Fang Ling'er in front of her seems to be weak, but this song "Haoran Righteousness" is sung by her passionately, like a heavenly sound.

The word "self-ashamed" is very appropriate to describe Yuanbao's heart at this moment.

The rhubarb, who pretended to be dead, immediately got up, glanced at the ingot, and then at Fang Ling'er, who was stroking the qin, and suddenly jumped up, no one knew what this big yellow dog who had lived for decades was thinking at the moment.

There were many boats on the river, and many people stood on the deck and looked at this side, and everyone listened in fascination.

"The hidden dragon comes out of the abyss, and the phoenix dances for nine days. In the fierce battle of the world, the gods and demons are revealed. ”

Not far away, an old man in gray wearing a hat and fishing alone on the bow of the boat, slowly stood up and looked at this side. And there is an old and dilapidated erhu at his feet. It was the old man of Tianchi who had disappeared for several days.

"Hmph" A cold snort came from behind the old man Tianchi, the mysterious woman in black had stood on the deck for some time, she glanced at the ingots that were gradually moving away, and said coldly: "Tianchi, I really underestimated you, what else do you know?"

The old man of Tianchi did not answer immediately, sat down again, held the fishing rod, and said after a while: "The hidden dragon has come out of the abyss, and the phoenix has flown into the sky." The four proverbs left by the old man Tianji before his death are about to come true. ”

The mysterious woman was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "The world is in chaos, isn't it unpleasant for the demons to dance wildly?

The old man of Tianchi sighed and said, "Since ancient times, good and evil have clashed, which time has it not been countless deaths and injuries, and the lives have been ruined?"

The mysterious woman laughed, with a bit of mockery, and said: "Didn't you also kill in the world decades ago? Could it be that Zhuge Kongfang's ambition was wiped out with a single sword? Heaven and earth, earth and earth, and Tao and nature, if you want to ask for immortality and comprehend the eternal mysteries of the universe, you can only follow your surname." Now that the trend is coming, who can stop me?"

The old man of Tianchi finally turned his head, looked at the mysterious woman's eyes that radiated a red light, and said: "The five major factions have already sent outstanding disciples down the mountain, do you think you still have a chance? Qingsong Daoist is the law enforcement elder of the Shushan faction, and his status is noble, you designed to arrest him, when will you be willing to let him go? Otherwise, let alone the five major factions, the Shushan lineage alone can make the power that you have secretly cultivated for a hundred years collapse and collapse in an instant." Hey, I was really confused that night, I thought you were going to catch the heirs of Kong Fang, it turned out that the target was me and Qingsong, you don't say that I also know, it is the heavenly machine seal in our hands, sixty years ago, Zhuge Kong Fang kept the nine heavenly machine seals separately, except for one for each of the five major factions, the remaining four are on me, the South China Sea Immortal Weng, the Xisha Fairy and the Demon Lord Xingliuyun. Now you have got this one from me, and the Shushan faction on Qingsong's body for safekeeping, plus the Nanhai Immortal Weng died suddenly three years ago, and there is no Tianji Seal on his body, but I am afraid that you have also obtained three Tianji Seals, but if you want to get the remaining six, it will be extremely difficult. ”

The sky gradually darkened, and the last rays of the setting sun fell on the mysterious woman, whose red eyes turned a little yellow in the afterglow. She looked at the old man of Tianchi and said coldly: "As long as I take the ingots as a hostage, I don't believe that Zhuge Kongfang will not retrieve the six heavenly machine seals in exchange." ”

The old man's body shook for a moment, and said lightly: "You don't know yet, Kong Fang, Kong Fang...... Three months ago, it had already feathered the Nine Dragons Valley. ”

"Ah?!" The mysterious woman's body shook violently, and she retreated again and again, waves of qi emanated from her body, and she shouted in a lost voice: "Impossible, Kong Fang will never die, you lie to me! Even if everyone in the world dies, Kong Fang will definitely not die!"

Love-hate entanglement, grudges. The only thing that makes people feel more terrible than love in the world is hate.

The old man of Tianchi sighed and didn't say a word.

Nine Heavens Milky Way, the stars are vast, and this universe is full of bizarre myths and legends. Is there really a god above the nine heavens? Is there really an underworld under the nine shadows?

Yuan Bao and Rhubarb were looking at the starry sky on the deck, the boat was still moving quickly with the waves in the night, Lao Fang was at the helm in the back, and Fang Ling'er was cooking with the stove.

The ingots lay on the deck, their arms folded, their bodies undulating as the ship swayed. He was thinking about a lot of things, including the whereabouts of the old man of Tianchi and the Qingsong Daoist, the earnest teachings of his master over the years, and the short time he spent with Master Li, what made him suspicious was that he also remembered Xing Sunset, the demon demon girl.

Time goes by, and the years change. It's been ten years.

"Childe, the meal is ready. After a while, Fang Ling'er's gentle voice came from behind.

Yuan Bao got up, and Rhubarb jumped into the old dog, sticking out his big tongue and wagging his big tail, and ran to the cabin.

The monorail has two cabins and one for miscellaneous cooking, each cabin can only accommodate two people, and the dining table is placed in one cabin.

Yuan Bao saw that the dinner was quite rich, not only bacon, but also a large bowl of crucian carp soup, and the fragrance permeated the entire cramped cabin. Yuanbao's appetite was aroused, and he grabbed the chopsticks in one hand and the flatbread in the other, and was just about to ask the old party to eat together.

Fang Ling'er slapped Yuanbao's palm with a big spoon and said, "Have you washed your hands?"

"Do you still have to wash your hands when you eat?" Yuan Bao looked at Fang Ling'er with a serious face in surprise.

Fang Ling'er was even more surprised than him, and said, "You never wash your hands before eating?"

"yes, I only take a shower three times a year. Yuan Bao saw Fang Ling'er's frowning face, after all, the other party was a beauty, and it was not easy to brush off her kindness, so he put down his chopsticks and washed his hands behind him. Seeing that Lao Fang was still at the helm, he said, "Uncle Fang, you can also come and eat." ”

The old man smiled and said: "Son, you eat first, I have to put the boat at the Sanling Wharf ten miles away, don't wait for the old man." ”

Yuan Bao is not reluctant, it is much happier to eat at the same table with Fang Linger than to add an old man.

Fang Ling'er's craftsmanship didn't say, and he greatly appreciated the ingots that were used to snacking, and made Fang Ling'er's fair and pink little cheeks flush with shame.

After Yuan Bao and Fang Ling'er finished eating for a while, the old man parked the boat at a small pier, the water in front of him was wrapped in mountains, and the water was also urgent.

Lao Fang said: "Childe, tomorrow you can enter the Wuxia Gorge in the Three Gorges, the wonders on both sides of the strait are like illusions, I can slow down tomorrow and let Childe enjoy it." ”

Yuan Bao nodded and said, "Then there is Uncle Laofang, anyway, I'm not in a hurry." ”

At night, Yuan Bao slept in a cabin with rhubarb, and this person and dog were crowded together. Uncle Fang and his granddaughter Fang Ling'er slept in another cabin.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Bao could hear Fang Ling'er's even breathing, and even faintly smelled the unique fragrance of the woman, which made him feel ape, seeing that Rhubarb had been squeezing himself, and Rhubarb didn't know how long he hadn't taken a bath, his whole body hair was very dirty, and he spent three taels of silver in Qinchuan City during the day to customize a good outfit that was about to become a beggar's suit, and secretly swore in his heart that he would throw this old dog into the Yangtze River early tomorrow morning to take a bath.

Unable to sleep, he gently kicked the rhubarb, quietly walked out of the cabin by himself, sat cross-legged on the deck and carried the reincarnation heart decision, and began to cultivate.

The moonlight swayed down like mercury, with a little desolation, a little quiet.

The wind was light tonight, the waves under the boat were not heavy, and the whole boat was as smooth as the ground. The surrounding river is even more shining with fishing fires, quiet as stars.

After running for a few weeks, the true qi in the body was extremely full, and the golden pill suspended above the dantian, which was only a grain of rice, slowly emitted a faint brilliance in the body of the ingot.

"Jin Dan seems to have been a little fuller recently, it seems that he has reached the realm of the Imperial Sky Period, and he will be able to obtain the realm of divine thoughts in less than three or five months, and when the time comes, he can release his mental power, and maybe he will be able to comprehend a trace of the three swords of Zhu Xian. ”

Ever since he saw Zhuge Kongfang and the mysterious woman's fighting method in the grove that night, he truly realized that the real powerhouses don't care how fast your sword skills are, because they can lock your movements with telekinesis, and they can also lay an unbreakable protective shield around their bodies through supreme cultivation. No matter how fast your swordsmanship is, it will be in vain if you can't split the opponent's body protection true qi.

After practicing for two hours, the feeling of sleepiness disappeared, and he pulled out the dragon slaying sword behind him again, put his hands on the blade, and closed his eyes to meditate.

If you want to comprehend the supreme way of the sword, you must feel the existence of the sword and feel the artistic conception that is connected to the blood of the sword.

Now that he has reached the realm of the unity of human and sword, he can completely feel that the dragon sword in his hand is like a part of his body.

"Sword, killing weapon, all magic weapons as long as they kill people and drink blood, they will gradually be dyed by the anger of the dead soul, the dragon sword has not yet killed, the sword qi is pure, but the power is not great. I heard the master say that the number one divine soldier in the world is the ancient sword Xuanyuan of the Kunlun faction for thousands of years, and he has been killing people and drinking blood since ancient times, and he is extremely angry, and people who do not have extremely high mana will not be able to control the Xuanyuan sword at all, and they will be eaten by the anger contained in the sword at any time. I don't know if with the cultivation of Taixuan Zhenren's cultivation now, can I fully control the Xuanyuan Sword?"
