Chapter Eighty-Six: The Lu Family Annex

Yin Zhiping pondered for a moment, clenched the left hand holding the hilt of the silver dragon sword at his waist, and said secretly in his heart: "Since I happened to meet Lu by chance, then I will meet you once, what do you want to do so much? What is there to be afraid of when the master sees the disciple? That is, she doesn't want to see me, so she won't turn her face and do something with me." ”

Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision. However, he still stood in place and didn't move, just looked at the water pavilion on the other side of the small lake, and quietly listened to Cheng Ying finish playing the song "Blue Sea Tide", then he clapped his hands, "snapped" a few times, and praised him: "Yin is fortunate to listen to this song "Blue Sea Tide" again today, and it is worth the trip to Jiaxing." ”

This small lake is only about two acres in size, and it faces each other across the bank, and it is impossible to see the people on the other side with the eyes of ordinary people. Although Shi Bingyun, Cheng Ying, and Lu Wushuang in the pavilion also have martial arts and excellent eyesight, one of them concentrates on playing, and the other two also listen attentively, but they have never looked at the other side. Even if I swept it occasionally, I didn't pay much attention to it. At such a distance, if you don't look at it in particular, it's always better to look carefully in front of you and find the abnormality, so you haven't found Yin Zhiping passing through the forest and appearing on the other side.

It wasn't until this time that Yin Zhiping clapped his hands and opened his mouth to speak, and the three of them heard the reputation and saw him. The three of them glanced at each other, all of them had a look of surprise on their faces, obviously they didn't expect Yin Zhiping to appear here at this time. Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang also took a special look at Shi Bingyun and paid attention to the expression on her face, but they saw that the expression was the same as theirs.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Shi Bingyun didn't mean to speak first, Cheng Ying mentioned the internal force. said to Yin Zhiping on the other side: "It turned out that Yin Zhenren was visiting, so please come over and talk about it." ”

Yin Zhiping heard the words and stepped a little. Fly up and jump into the lake. Stepping on the continuous lotus leaves, after a while, his figure flashed and jumped into the water pavilion. After standing still in the water pavilion, he hugged his fists and saluted, and said to Cheng Ying, "Yin Mou came here when he heard the sound of the flute in the lake, and he came uninvited, and I ask Miss Cheng to forgive me for the disturbance!"

Then he continued to salute and nodded to Lu Wushuang. said with a smile: "Miss Lu." ”

Then, when he wanted to turn to Shi Bingyun again, Shi Bingyun suddenly saluted him first and shouted, "Master." ”

"Huh?" Yin Zhiping couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, not understanding why Shi Bingyun would still call him "master". But since Shi Bingyun's "master" had already shouted, he didn't want to show up in front of Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, two outsiders, who had turned against each other, so he immediately put down his hand and nodded at Shi Bingyun.

But after taking a closer look, he saw that Shi Bingyun saluted him. But his face was expressionless, and the "Master" just now was also blunt and had no emotion. Noticing this, he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that she didn't mention the fact that we have severed the master-apprentice relationship to Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, and she doesn't want them to know about it now." ”

There is a saying that "family ugliness should not be publicized". This kind of thing is indeed inconvenient to talk to people casually. Even he himself is the same, from last year's incident to now, Shi Bingyun has severed the master-apprentice relationship with him. He hadn't heard of Li Zhichang and other close Quanzhen disciples. just told them that Shi Bingyun's grandfather died and he had to mourn at home. I won't come to learn martial arts from him again.

The ancients held a funeral vigil, usually for three years. Even if it's longer, it's some. So he used this as an excuse, but it was also logical, and Li Zhichang and the others didn't ask much about it. Moreover, Li Zhichang and others thought that Yin Zhiping would accept Shi Bingyun as an apprentice, but it was only because Shi Songzhi's request was difficult to push, so they reluctantly accepted it. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to Shi Bingyun, and he never really regarded her as a disciple of the Quanzhen School. And they feel that Shi Bingyun, an official lady who comes to apprentice, is probably just a fun element, and they are really willing to work hard to learn martial arts. It was just right that they didn't ask.

Here I have to say that Yin Zhiping did a good job of keeping secrets at the beginning, he first told Shi Bingyun not to tell anyone about her learning "Dugu Nine Swords", and secondly, when he taught Shi Bingyun to practice martial arts, he always taught it alone in a courtyard and did not let outsiders be present. Therefore, in the concept of longevity, although there are many people who know that Shi Bingyun is a master of art, there are very few people who really know how clever Shi Bingyun's own martial arts are. It was only when Yang Guo and Guo Fu had a close relationship with Shi Bingyun that they knew some of Shi Bingyun's details.

After Yin Zhiping said "um", he looked at Shi Bingyun carefully and found that compared with last year, her temperament was indeed a little changed as the Quanzhen disciple of Lanxi said. Shi Bingyun was originally an innocent and innocent official lady who didn't know the world, because she was a scholar and a tutor, she was quite gentle and delicate in her words and deeds, and she was always gentle and polite to others. But when I looked at it at this time, I saw that she was always expressionless and indifferent on her face, obviously a little cold and impersonal. Compared with before and after, it can indeed be described as a big change, which makes him feel even more ashamed. He sighed silently in his heart, and he didn't know what to say to Shi Bingyun.

Shi Bingyun seemed to think about it for a while, and then asked, "Isn't Master in Lin'an, why did he suddenly come to Jiaxing today?"

Yin Zhiping couldn't help but be a little surprised, he thought that it was very rare to hear her call "Master" again, but she was willing to continue to talk to him. But then he immediately thought that Shi Bingyun was just trying to show that everything was normal with him in front of Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, in fact, I was afraid that he didn't want to see him at all. He smiled bitterly in his heart, and replied with a smile on his face: "I am going to Suzhou to inspect the sub-view of Suzhou." Today I was passing through Jiaxing, and I temporarily wanted to visit Nanhu, but I didn't expect you to be here. ”

After he said that, he looked around and said, "This Zhuangzi is good, it is a good place to live in seclusion, how did you find here?"

Lu Wushuang took over and replied, "This is a courtyard of our Lu family. Although my Lujiazhuang was poisoned by Li Mochou back then, our Lu family is a big family in Jiaxing, and there are still many relatives here, and there are also many fields and other courtyards. When I was a child, my father, my mother, and my cousin and I used to come here every year to escape the summer. Since my cousin and I returned to Jiaxing last year, we have been living in this courtyard ever since. ”

When Yin Zhiping heard this, he remembered that in the original book, he did say that Lu Liding's family was honest and wealthy, and he was a big landlord in Jiaxiang with a lot of natural land. (To be continued......)
