- Ji'an Mansion Yingquan Tower
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather had been warm for a few days, but now the weather changed again. The strong wind that had been blowing all morning had just died down and became quiet. Small snowflakes fell leisurely from the sky, fell to the ground, and were soon covered with a thin layer.
Chen Er is a clerk at Yingquan Tower. He has a good figure, handsome features, and a tall and straight figure. Being a clerk is a bit of an underachievement.
He settled a traveler¡¯s horse, came out from the stable next to the building, said hello to the waiter who was standing in front of the building to greet the guests, and then walked upstairs with his head down.
Yingquan Tower is a well-known large restaurant in Ji'an Prefecture. It is located in Fubei District, at the intersection of the east, west, and south streets of Ji'an Prefecture. It is three stories high and is considered extremely tall in the whole prefecture, except for the scenic spots. architecture. A big flag with the word "wine" written on it was hung higher than the restaurant, fluttering in the wind. This unique hanging method allowed pedestrians to see it from a distance. The effect was naturally wonderful, and the business was booming and the popularity was extremely high. It can be seen that the shopkeeper of this restaurant also has some thoughts.
As soon as Chen Er walked halfway, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far and near, and quickly came to the front of the building. Based on his two years of experience as a clerk, he could tell with his eyes closed that these were two tall, strong horses from the northwest, with deep hoofbeats and speed as fast as lightning. He turned and looked down.
Two shiny black majestic horses stopped in front of the building. Each of their front hooves had a ring of white hair, but they were motionless at the moment. Chen Er fell in love with these horses at first sight. They had such a calm demeanor. , naturally has a strong spirituality, has been trained for a long time, and is a rare good horse.
"This Taoist priest, this heroine, please come upstairs, we will serve you in a private seat on the third floor!" Gouzi's clear voice was cadenced, which was very nice to hear. Gouzi is responsible for welcoming guests. He has a good voice, but more importantly, he has excellent eyesight. He can distinguish the status, wealth and poverty of people who come to the restaurant at a glance, and guide them to the corresponding floor. The second floor is for public consumption, while the third floor is reserved for the wealthy and wealthy.
Only then did Chen Er notice the two people standing immediately.
A female Taoist priest wearing a wide Taoist robe, with an untied bun, long black hair spread loosely, lightly held together with a piece of plain white cloth, an oval-shaped face, slender eyebrows at the temples, pink and phoenix eyes, and a straight and delicate nose. , thin lips, the whole person is elegant and refined, as cold as ice.
He was watching intently, sighing that the appearance of this female Taoist Priest was about the same as that of the wives of his own village. At this time, a clear gaze glanced at him. He felt as if he had fallen into a warm spring and soaked for a while. He couldn't explain. It was cool and comfortable, and he immediately felt cordial to this cold and beautiful female Taoist priest.
His eyes glanced at another woman. She was a beautiful woman about the same age as the female Taoist priest. She was also extremely beautiful, but in his eyes, she was naturally not as good as the female Taoist priest who made him feel affectionate.
He hurriedly ran upstairs and chose a private room near the east pavilion window. He quickly wiped the table and led the two of them to sit in it. Then he ran back and forth, bringing tea and recipes, and was extremely attentive.
"Master¡ª¡ª, why are we in such a hurry?! Those crab soldiers and shrimp generals are no big deal!" After just two sips of tea, the girl in the apricot hero costume began to complain.
The female Taoist priest had an elegant posture and gently put down the celadon tea cup. Her expression was indescribably graceful and calm. She did not speak, but glanced at the girl with her clear eyes. She picked up the recipe on the table and slowly turned over it. look.
¡°Master¡ª¡ª, master¡ª¡ª!¡± The girl gently twisted her toned and slender waist and coquettishly addressed the master.
"You, you, you are so ignorant!" She glared at the girl, told Chen Er who was standing next to her a few dish names, closed the menu, and handed it back to him.
"What's wrong, is my disciple right? With their three-legged cat martial arts, I'm not afraid of more people coming! Poor our little Hei Erhei, I wonder how he is doing now?" The girl glanced at him respectfully. Standing Chen Er said unconvinced.
Watching Chen Er retreat quietly, the female Taoist priest turned her head, her beautiful and cold face darkened, quite powerful. When she saw her disciple shrank, she said: "Bing'er, you don't want to have such thoughts, Jianghu It¡¯s dangerous, so you have to be careful. As the saying goes, it¡¯s easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Martial arts is not the only way to kill people!¡±
"Yes, I will obey my master's teachings!" Bing'er saw her master's expression downcast, she didn't dare to be presumptuous and was honest.
Seeing that her apprentice was honest, the female Taoist softened her downcast expression and said slowly: "Little Hei and Erhei are fostered in that family. After waiting for a while, we will go and get them again. At this time, it is too slow to ride on them." ! Bing'er, the master understands your little thoughts very well. Don't forget, the master was also your master's apprentice! I can understand your thoughts, but -! "
She paused, took another sip of tea, and then continued: "But every mountain is even higher! Not to mention my martial arts, master."? Even your master is not invincible in the martial arts world! "
"Oh? Isn't the master's martial arts the most powerful?!" Bing'er was greatly surprised. In her mind, her master was invincible in the world with his martial arts skills.
The female Taoist priest shook her head and turned to look out the window. Her expression was hazy and her eyes were blurred, as if she was lost in memories.
Outside the window, the snowflakes are getting bigger and falling faster, and the sky and the earth are already white, as if covered with a white curtain.
When Bing'er saw the master's appearance, she kept silent and lowered her head to take a sip of tea.
She has seen the master's appearance countless times since she could remember.
¡°Every month, the master would always be depressed and irritable for a few days, and he would be very cruel to her, as if he had become a different person, which made her very scared.
After several times, she concluded a pattern. Whenever the master appeared like this, her mood would become bad in the next few days, she would lose her temper easily, and she would dislike everything.
Even the master is avoiding the master at this time.
Chen Er knocked on the door of the private room, interrupting the female Taoist priest's absence.
Under Chen Er¡¯s supervision, the dishes were quickly served.
"Master, do you think there is anyone better than the master?" Bing'er's manner of eating is very elegant, somewhat like a female Taoist priest. Her upper body is straightened up, her hands are slow, and she looks calm and calm.
Swallowing the tender tofu in her mouth, she gently wiped her mouth with the snow-white silk handkerchief in her sleeve, and said in a sweet voice: "Although your master's martial arts cannot be said to be invincible in the world, there are only a few people who can't be defeated." come over."
"Oh? Tell me, disciple, who are there?" Bing'er, like her master, wiped her mouth gracefully, with excitement on her face, and asked curiously.
The female Taoist priest felt that her disciple should also know something about martial arts, so as not to be ignorant when he went out and suffer consequences in the future.
"Well, let me tell you in detail. Twenty years ago, the five unique skills in martial arts"
"My disciple knows that there are evils in the East and poisons in the West, and the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar have magical powers. I already knew this!" Bing'er quickly took over the topic.
"Well, in the past ten years, Wuqi has faded out of the martial arts world, Zhongshentong died young, and the remaining four rarely appear in the martial arts world. Your master is no match for these four people." He whispered softly, The voice is soft and indescribably pleasant.
She was holding a smooth celadon tea cup, her cold expression became soothed, and her smooth face contrasted with the clear celadon tea cup, as if it was emitting a hazy glow, unlike a mortal,
Bing'er stared at her attentively and nodded vigorously. The name of Wujue was like thunder to her ears. It was natural that her master could not defeat them.
"In the past ten years, there have been several top masters. The hero Guo Jing must be better than your master. The leader of the Beggar Clan, Huang Rong, may be about the same as your master. Sun Zi Ming, the God of Thunder God Claw in the southern martial arts world, is definitely better than your master. The Condor Heroes, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, the three of them only rose to prominence after your master retired, and they are probably better than your master."
"Master, I know Daxia Guo. She and Gang Leader Huang are husband and wife, and they guard Xiangyang together. I admire them the most!"
The female Taoist priest nodded: "Yes, Hero Guo is worthy of the title of hero. Without him, Xiangyang would have been lost for many years!"
"Master, have you seen Daxia Guo?" Bing'er asked eagerly.
"Haha, I've seen it before. Why, Bing'er also wants to see it?" The female Taoist priest's face relaxed, with a bit of a smile.
"Yeah!" Bing'er nodded vigorously, "Bing'er wants to see Daxia Guo and see what kind of hero he is!"
"There will be a chance. When you have free time in the future, the master will take you to visit the couple." She smiled softly, like a snow lotus blooming, and the sky and the earth were dawning, but she smiled bitterly in her heart, wondering whether this promise could be fulfilled.
"Okay, okay. By the way, who is the Thunder God Claw? I have heard of the name of the Condor Heroes, but I have never heard of the Thunder God Claw."
"Sun Zi Ming, the Claw of the Heavenly Thunder God, is also a remarkable figure. It is said that the martial arts is really terrifying. He has never met an opponent so far, but he is a low-key person. The dragon never sees its end, and few people have seen him."
"Interesting, these people with strong martial arts skills sound a little weird, don't they, Master?" Bing'er suddenly laughed, and was very happy that she had come to this conclusion.
"You are smart, yes. Most of these people with excellent martial arts skills are mavericks."
"The couple of the Condor Heroes are really enviable. It is said that the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. They are a perfect match! Master, have you seen them before?" Bing'er's face was even more excited and her body was twisting.
The female Taoist priest nodded slightly: "I've seen it before."
"Ah, Master, you are so awesome! Bing'er admires you so much!" Bing'er had a tendency to scream.
"Hush, keep your voice down!Actually, the Condor Heroes and his wife are also very close to you. After all, you should call them great-uncle."
¡°What?!¡± Binger was confused.
"Xiao Longnu, the wife of Yang Guo, the Condor Hero, is actually your master's fellow disciple."
"Ah¡ª¡ª! Xiao Longnu is my great-uncle? Why haven't I heard my master mention it from my master?" Bing'er jumped up in surprise, her pretty face with a plump nose and round eyes filled with disbelief.
The female Taoist priest slowly picked up the teacup that was about to bottom out again, and took a sip of tea. The heat in the teacup rose up, making her pretty face look a little hazy, and she let out a long sigh: "Alas. ¡ª¡ª, it¡¯s a long story, and I can¡¯t explain clearly the grudges and grudges in it for a while. As a teacher, I¡¯ll keep it short.¡±
"Okay, okay, master, tell me quickly!" Bing'er nodded hurriedly. She was very curious. When she heard about some secrets and interesting things, she was more excited than anything else.
"Both your master and Xiao Longnu came from the Ancient Tomb Sect of Zhongnan Mountain. It was just that your master was expelled from the sect for some reason, so he entered the martial arts world."
"Expelled from the school?" Bing'er finally jumped up and screamed.
"Sit down! What's all the fuss about?!" the female Taoist priest scolded with a frown. Her frown looked a bit weak and pitiful, and her temperament changed easily, but it was all fascinating. .
Bing'er sat down obediently, but she was a little unconvinced. Being kicked out of the master's school is actually an extremely heavy punishment in the martial arts world. You must have made a big mistake to receive this punishment. Some even have to have their martial arts skills revoked. It is tantamount to a death sentence.
"Actually, the Ancient Tomb Sect has never made a name for itself in the martial arts world since it was founded. Your master was only expelled from the sect, and his martial arts were not taken back. How can you imagine that the Ancient Tomb Sect's martial arts are actually the best in the martial arts world? Unique skills, your master¡¯s martial arts skills are almost unmatched by anyone!¡±
"Really, is our Tomb Sect really that powerful?" Bing'er returned to her old ways, with a clear voice and an excited expression.
The female Taoist priest's calm face was also filled with excitement at this time. She chuckled and said: "Speaking of the Ancient Tomb Sect, we have to talk about Lin Chaoying, the founding mother-in-law of the sect. She is a strange person. It is said that she was originally The couple of Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen Sect, had comparable martial arts skills. Later, for some unknown reason, the two fell out, so Wang Chongyang became a Taoist priest. The founder's mother-in-law took the ancient tomb from him and lived in seclusion, concentrating on creating A person who specializes in restraining Quanzhen¡¯s martial arts. You know, Quanzhen¡¯s teachings are called the authentic martial arts. Their martial arts are broad and profound, and are well-known throughout the world.¡±
"Restrain Quanzhen martial arts? Wow, it's really majestic!*, I like this name! Master, have you ever practiced it*?"
"No, *, only your great uncle has mastered it, alas! When it comes to swordsmanship, your great uncle Xiao Longnu is probably one of the best in the world." The female Taoist priest shook her head and sighed.
The female Taoist priest looked at her apprentice's regretful expression, stretched out her green and jade fingers, tapped her straight nose, and chuckled: "Don't tell me, your master, I don't know it. Even your master, I didn't have the chance to learn it." Practicing is extremely difficult. You must first master your own martial arts, and then learn Quanzhen martial arts. Only by combining the two can you practice*. If you are still far behind in this martial art, don't even think about it!"
Bing'er agreed gloomily, but she always felt uncomfortable in her heart. Although our sect has such powerful martial arts but cannot practice it, it really made people feel unbearable. It would be great if I could meet her. I don¡¯t know where Xiao Longnu¡¯s master¡¯s uncle is. If I could meet her, I must let her teach me. The girl had innocent thoughts in her heart.
"By the way, master, it is said that Xiao Longnu's great-uncle is the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world. Is it true?" Her thoughts came and went quickly, and as Qingling's eyes turned, there was another question.
"Well, although it's an exaggeration, it's not too bad. She grew up in the ancient tomb and rarely saw the sun. In addition, the martial arts in our ancient tomb have a beauty effect, which makes her have snow-skinned skin and a radiant face. Ruoxue is like a fairy." The female Taoist priest nodded.
"I don't know what kind of person Yang Guo, the Condor Hero, is, who is worthy of someone like my great uncle. I really want to meet him. By the way, Master, have you seen them two?" Bing'er held her chin in her hands, His face was filled with fascination.
"Brother, please refill the tea!" The female Taoist priest gently put down the tea cup, and a cool and soft voice came out of the private room.
"Come on -!" Chen Er was greeting the guests at the entrance of the building not far away. Hearing the call, he hurriedly came to answer the call.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:?????????? The female Taoist priest did not mind the heat and took a sip, gently closed her eyes and said softly: "The two of them have also interacted with each other as teachers."
Bing'er looked at her master with an expression of admiration: "Master, you are so awesome! You have seen these masters, Bing'er is so envious of you! By the way, my master was also famous in the martial arts back then."??? "
A wry smile appeared on the pretty face of the female Taoist priest: "Are you the master? In those days, you were really powerful in the martial arts world, and it was difficult to have any rivals."
"Then why did Master go into seclusion and still practice so hard? There are few people in the world who are her opponents. Moreover, the world is so big that it is very likely that she will never meet those few people in her life! Master - Master -, Disciple really doesn't understand!" Bing'er was really confused. She had been hiding this question in her heart for a long time, and now she finally had the chance to ask it.
"Bang!" The smooth celadon tea cup was slammed on the table, and the female Taoist priest stood up straight.
She turned around and stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the vast snow in the distance. The expression on her smooth and jade-like face was changing, and the indifferent and unrestrained figure in her heart gradually emerged again.
Seeing the master like this, Bing'er knew that the master's mood had deteriorated again, and secretly blamed herself for talking too much.
She didn¡¯t dare to disturb the master¡¯s thoughts, so she sat obediently for a while. Seeing that the master still hadn¡¯t come to his senses, she secretly ate the food on the table. She knew immediately that she was spoiled by her master.
"Bing'er!" The female Taoist priest looked out the window and stood quietly, then suddenly spoke.
"Huh? Master?" Bing'er hurriedly put down the bamboo chopsticks and wiped her mouth.
"Back then, with your master's martial arts, you could retreat safely even if you were defeated by someone from the Five Ultimate Skills. But why is she still practicing martial arts hard now?" The voice was calm, without a trace of fluctuation. .
Bing'er has lived with her master for such a long time and knows very well that the calmer her voice is, the less peaceful her master's mood is.
The heavy snow fell heavier and heavier, and goose-feather-like snowflakes fell, casting fluffy shadows in her bright and clear eyes. She has a slender figure, and is even more exquisite when wrapped in a wide robe. Inside the building, more and more people poured in, and the crowd gradually became noisy and noisy, making this elegant room even more quiet.
"Why?" Although he knew that his master was upset, he still couldn't restrain his long-standing curiosity.
"Why? Haha, why? Haha It's all because of one person!" Although she laughed a few times, there was no smile in her voice, which made Bing'er shiver.
"A person? Who is he?" Bing'er asked urgently. The question in her heart that had been hidden for a long time was finally solved, and she was extremely anxious.
The female Taoist priest turned around, caressed her spotless Taoist robe, sat down quietly, and her face returned to cool and calm.
"Alas! After all these years, I still remember clearly what your master said to me." She raised her jade hand to stop Bing'er's question, and continued: "Your master said, 'Ling Bo , no matter who he is, if you see him in the future, you must stay far away, and it is best not to encounter him!'."
"Why, Master?" Bing'er asked.
The female Taoist priest suddenly laughed, and a few blushes appeared on her cold face, making her look more beautiful and charming.
Bing'er was a little confused, but looking at the master's smile, it was a normal smile, and she was even more confused as to why the master was laughing.
The female Taoist priest laughed for a while, then stopped laughing, took a deep breath, calmed down, and said with a hint of smile in her voice: "What you asked is exactly the same as when I asked your master, every word is the same. ! You are truly worthy of being my disciple!¡±
"Master¡ª¡ªMaster¡ª¡ª! Go on!" Bing'er's curiosity made her anxious. She wanted to boast a bit, but she couldn't bear her curiosity and twisted her waist in a coquettish way. His tone was urging.
"Okay, let's continue." The female Taoist priest stopped her smile and said in a low voice: "Your master and I were very embarrassed at the time. She was very angry, and after throwing a tantrum with the trees on the roadside, she said to me, 'When you meet him, life or death is no longer up to you, and you ask why!'"
"Is life or death not up to me?" Bing'er tilted her head with an expression of disbelief: "Is it really that powerful?"
The female Taoist priest, Hong Lingbo, smiled, but her smile was a little stiff and unnatural: "Master, have you lied to me? Remember, don't mention it in front of your master, otherwise, there will be another round of rape."
"Then his martial arts are even more powerful than those of the Five Arts back then?" Although she knew that her master would not lie to her, Bing'er still couldn't accept it and couldn't help but ask.
"Well, to him, what does the Five Ultimate Skills mean? Your master and I are no different than three-year-old children in front of him. His martial arts cannot be practiced by humans at all, they are like gods." Hong Lingbo said softly. He said, his eyes gradually blurred, and he fell into memories again.
Her absent-minded look was seen by Bing'er opposite. Bing'er suddenly realized that they all had such expressions. Could the master's abnormal behavior be related to that person?
Hong Lingbo suddenly lost interest in talking, picked up the bamboo chopsticks, and concentrated on tasting the rice.vegetable.
Bing'er was also full of thoughts, and she kept thinking about the person the master was talking about.
??????????????????????????????What kind of powerful method did that person use to make the master and master look like this? What do others look like? Old or young, ugly or handsome? How did he become so good at training?
Countless questions arose in her heart, and a strong curiosity was about to arouse. She wished she could see this person immediately to see if he had three heads and six arms.
"Master, what is this man's name?"
"Oh, what? Name? His name is Xiao - Yuesheng -!" Hong Lingbo was far away in thought when he was eating. When he heard the disciple's question, he paused and whispered the three words Xiao Yuesheng. .
"Who is calling me?" A clear and calm voice suddenly sounded in the ears of her master and disciple.
"Who?" Bing'er was shocked and looked around hurriedly, but there was no one in sight.
"Looking at the master, I saw him sitting there in a daze, looking lost again.
Is it my imagination? No one at all?
"Master, did you hear someone talking just now?" Bing'er asked cautiously.
"I heard it, I heard it, it's him, it's his voice!" Hong Lingbo murmured, and the voice that had haunted him in his heart finally appeared again.
