Knight line GL

Li Zhaoxue had something on her mind, she woke up after sleeping for two hours, tossing and turning unable to fall asleep, so she just got up and meditated on the bed.

After a week of exercise, I feel comfortable all over.Li Zhaoxue looked up and saw that the sky was dimly bright, so she got up and lit a candle in her cloak, trying to pick out a dress to meet the head of the Taihe Sect.

There is nothing to choose, she has only three coats in total.Xiaoqian took over as the head of the family, and she added a new set of clothes.Although the style is not novel, the material used is the best.

Li Zhaoxue changed her clothes and pushed the door out, but she saw Huai Ying helping her, and the waning moon was still there.She originally wanted to practice martial arts in the courtyard after washing up, but at this moment she was afraid of disturbing others, so she said to the man who was watching the night in Tianhan Village and went out.

Passing by the courtyard of Nanzheng City, I heard the sound of sharp objects piercing the air. Li Zhaoxue leaned on the window grille and looked in. It turned out that Shao Ling was practicing sword.

Shao Ling put away his sword and walked over: "Wake up so early?"

Li Zhaoxue saw a thin layer of sweat on her forehead: "You were not earlier."

Shao Ling said bluntly: "It's not so early on weekdays, but it's just that you can't help but feel unhappy after a defeat, and practice swords to relieve depression."

Li Zhaoxue didn't expect her to be so frank, and she didn't know how to respond.To change the subject is to cover up the obvious, and it seems that the young city lord does not need to comfort him.

Shao Ling went to laugh suddenly: "You don't know how to chat either. Well, where are you going?"

Li Zhaoxue hurriedly replied: "A few days ago, Xiaoqian said she wanted to eat rice dumplings, so I asked the chef to make them for her."

Shao Ling asked: "Rice dumplings? Wait for me."

What she said was indeed just a moment, before Li Zhaoxue could react, the courtyard door had already opened.Unexpectedly, in the back kitchen, the younger brother said that there is no steamed and ground rice noodles.

Shao Ling was even more disappointed than Li Zhaoxue: "Just go and do it, and we will see the prepared ingredients when we come back in the evening."

The little brother nodded again and again: "Don't worry, two ladies, it's a trivial matter, I'll keep it for you and prepare it. Would you like to eat some corn porridge, sweet chicken porridge, salty porridge, pancakes and steamed buns? Our lung filling is no worse than the Wang family's." .”

"Choose a few things you are good at." Shao Ling turned and walked out, "You sit first, and I'll go back as soon as I go."

There was no one in the shop, so Li Zhaoxue chose a table by the window.Outside the window, the street is empty, and there are teenagers passing by in a hurry. In Erer, it is dawn, and the sky is glowing.

Shao Ling went back to the room and changed into the young city lord's uniform.The neckline is stacked in three layers from shallow to deep from the inside to the outside. The outermost one is a black half-arm gown with gemstones sewn into the cuff buttons, and two half-foot-long watch straps, embroidered with river water patterns.

After Shao Ling changed, he turned back and saw Li Zhaoxue sitting at the table with his hands on his knees.There were various kinds of breakfast on the table, and white smoke was billowing. She was sitting upright as if she was listening to a class, and Shao Ling couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.

After eating, the two went to the Yamen Office of Taihe Mansion.

Dong Xinran heard the announcement from the gatekeeper, and hurried out: "Young City Master Nanzheng is here, and we are not far away to welcome you. Miss Li, please sit down first, I have already sent someone to invite Master Murong."

Shao Ling asked: "Is Senior Cuiweizi here?"

Dong Xinran said apologetically, "The head is still in Taihe Mountain, and he is personally in charge over there, and many things need to be taken care of. The young city master should know that there are three days until the Martial Arts Conference, when all the heroes of the world will go. Our Taihe Sect It is the first time to hold such a grand event, and there is nothing wrong..."

Li Zhaoxue caught a glimpse of Shao Ling's brows getting tighter and tighter, looking extremely impatient.At this time, Murong Han flew over, and it was another courteous exchange.Shao Ling didn't say anything, but was extremely bored in his heart.Murong Hanfei was not the eloquent type, only Dong Xinran kept talking to ease the atmosphere in the hall.

"In that case." Shao Ling stood up, "Let's take our leave first."

Li Zhaoxue followed closely behind, and the two of them did not say a word to the Office of the Taihe Mansion. Seeing that there was no one around, Shao Ling whispered, "Let's go to Taihe Mountain."

Li Zhaoxue said: "Okay, there is only one mountain road in Taihe Mountain, and it will definitely be able to guard Senior Cuiweizi."

Shao Ling asked, "How do you know?"

"It is said in "Dashang Geological Survey and Mapping Records" that there is a mountain named Taihe more than [-] miles west of the city. It is named after the four mountains. Zong is the leader of the Taoist sect, the place where the emperor of the Jing family worships the mountain with the golden book." Li Zhaoxue added after finishing speaking, "I read it a long time ago, maybe I don't remember clearly."

Shao Ling said: "It shouldn't be bad, but the ancients didn't know how to do light work, and now there may be roads everywhere."

The two rushed back quickly, they had already arrived at Qiheju while they were talking, each explained a few words, and led the horse out to go straight to Taihe Mountain.A road in the west of the city only leads to Taihe Mountain, and the disciples of Taihezong who guard the gate stop it from passing.

Shao Ling took Li Zhaoxue to detour from the south gate, and the two drove horses at a gallop. They didn't realize it at first, but they knew the majesty of Taihe Mountain when they were halfway.Shao Ling looked up, but saw that the mountains pierced into the sky like a screen, like a gate of heaven, not to mention people, I'm afraid it would be difficult for birds to cross.

There was a gap in the middle of the mountain wall, and it was only when we got closer that we realized that the gap was a hundred feet high and more than ten feet wide, and four people stood guard here.

The two pulled the reins and got off their horses, Shao Ling cupped his hands and said, "Shao Ling of Nanzheng City, on behalf of the city lord, please see Cuiweizi's head."

The guards looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and bowed his hands in return: "Wait a moment, we will go to report."

Shao Ling asked: "Can we go in directly?"

The guard immediately alerted: "No, we are ordered to stay here, no one can pass through."

Li Zhaoxue suddenly approached Shao Ling and whispered, "Are these disciples of the Taihe Sect?"

Shao Ling was startled, and looked up to see that the three guards were all wearing blue-gray Taoist robes, their hair was tied into a bun with wooden hairpins, and seven-star swords were hung around their waists. There was nothing unusual about them.

She stretched out her hand to pull Li Zhaoxue, and walked a little further to the side.

Li Zhaoxue was puzzled and said: "Dong Xinran, Murong Hanfei, Zhou Shaocheng, even the shopkeeper of Qiheju, and the younger brother, they all wear Taihe Zongming plaques around their waists. The styles and colors are exactly the same, but the patterns and patterns are different. Dong, Zhou, Murong They are all disciples of the inner sect, and their fate cards are the word 'nei' in the gossip. The fate cards of these four people are the same as that of the second brother, with the word 'shu' in the middle of the bronze inscription."

Shao Ling frowned and recalled: "The boy in Qiheju wears blue-gray and short-brown. He embroiders Tai Chi on his shoulders and gossip at the same time. Murong Hanfei and the others wear Taoist robes like these four, but they are gray-blue in color."

Shao Ling glanced at the blue-gray Taoist robe on the guard, feeling even more suspicious: "It's too new."

Li Zhaoxue thought for a while: "A new disciple? The Taihe Sect is becoming more and more prosperous, and it is inevitable that many people will defect to it. I heard that the Martial Arts Conference was suddenly decided to hold the Taihe Sect. Maybe it was too hasty."

Suspicion clouded over, they couldn't explain clearly, they couldn't make sense, the two looked at each other and said in unison: "It's not as good as us..."

Shao Ling nodded slightly: "Go back first."

The two got on their horses, cupped their hands and said their farewell first. Without any reaction from the disciples of Taihe Sect, they rode away with whips on their horses.The guards brought people over, and the person came with a thin face, a long beard in a bun, and a Taoist robe. He was Cuiweizi, the head of the Taihe sect.

Cuiweizi stroked his beard and asked, "Where are people?"

The avenue was empty, Shao Ling and Li Zhaoxue had long since disappeared.

The two of them rode their horses and ran to the right for half an hour, but they saw that the mountain was as steep as a knife cut, surrounded like an iron barrel.Don't say it's a road, I didn't see even a narrow path.

Going forward with dense trees and towering sun, Shao Ling got off his horse and said, "Taihezong is so sneaky, I'm afraid there are hidden secrets hidden in this valley, let's find a way to find out."

Li Zhaoxue nodded in agreement.

The two entered the dense forest and continued to move forward along the mountain.In late autumn, the weather turns cold and the leaves change.As far as the eye goes, the layers of forest are dyed with thousands of colors, red, yellow, emerald, green and golden trees, which is a rare beauty.

It's just that Li Shao and Li Shao were too preoccupied to watch the scenery.Relying on lightness kung fu, they walked through the forest and crossed the rocks like walking on flat ground, and after noon, the two of them gradually lost their strength.At this moment, a village house appeared on the mountainside ahead.

Shao Ling said: "You rest here, I will go back when I go." She walked a few steps and turned back, untied the sleeve crossbow on her arm and handed it to Li Zhaoxue.

Shao Ling walked halfway and came back, followed by a boy of a different race.The boy's head is wrapped in black cloth, he is wearing navy blue and short brown, and he has straw sandals on his feet.

The young man spoke fluent Chinese. He called himself Luo Yi, the son of the owner of the bamboo village in the lower reaches.

Luo Yi straightened his chest: "Originally, our Zhuzhai and Fangcun fought every year. At the beginning of the year, my elder sister came forward to mediate and let the two sides take turns to release water. This year's harvest is good, and my father asked the village head of Fangcun to participate in our autumn harvest ceremony."

Shao Ling asked, "Is there any way from here to Mount Taihe?"

Luo Yi was puzzled: "Taihe Mountain? Taihe City? We often deliver mountain goods. If you go east and see the official road, you can see a big city."

Shao Ling frowned: "It's a mountain, Taihe Mountain."

"It seems to be also called Mount Yanmu." Li Zhaoxue explained to Luo Yi hesitantly, "It is said in the book that the mountain people call Mount Taihe Mount Mount Yan, which means a place where there are gods."

Luo Yi suddenly realized: "Xianduling you are talking about? I heard from the warriors of Taihe City that they blew up the mountain gate again. My grandfather doesn't believe it. My grandfather's name is Di'er, and he is the only mountain dweller in our village."

Shao Ling thoughtfully said to Li Zhaoxue: "I have heard from Master that Taihezong once closed the mountain gate to avoid war. It is rumored that Ye Yinzi, the former head of the mountain, used his divine power sword to break the mountain and closed it. Of course this is true. It’s not credible, but it might be true. Besides, is there any other way into the mountain?”

She said three "before" in a row to make Roy laugh: "Other than that, there are only my elder sister and the others. Grandpa said that he had lived for so many years, and it was the first time he saw someone coming out from the other side of the mountain. It's time for the gods."

Shao Ling: "Isn't she your sister?"

Roy raised his chin: "Later she became my sister."

Li Zhaoxue saw that Shao Ling's face was getting more and more ugly, so she quickly answered, "Then where did she come from?"

"Then I don't know." Luo Yi scratched his head, "They went back to the village with grandpa, and it took several days to go into the mountains every time."

Li Zhaoxue and Shao Ling looked at each other, they knew that they were so headless now, it was just a dream to find the way into the mountain.Li Zhaoxue thanked Luo Yi: "Is your village far away? It's not early, and the rich wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains are very dangerous."

Luo Yi waved his hand: "I'm going back too. The people in Fangcun have all gone to Taihe City to work as helpers, and there are only a few who can't walk, so they won't go if you ask them."

Seeing Luo Yi go far away, Shao Ling looked up at the sky: "Let's go, it's almost dark when we get back there."

Li Zhaoxue felt something was wrong: "You, plan to visit Taihe Mountain at night?"

Shao Ling said "Yes": "Although it is a bit reckless and impolite, but there are things to do and things to do, how can you stick to the rules in major events in the world."

Li Zhaoxue knew that what she said was true, but she couldn't help worrying about the danger, and she was also afraid that she would offend Taihezong and cause trouble between the two cities, which would hurt the peace of the two cities.She was so worried that she couldn't help being distracted, Shao Ling stopped suddenly, and the two of them almost collided.

The ancient vines and ancient trees in the forest could not see the sky, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen in front of them, standing next to the two horses.

Shao Ling looked at the other party for a moment, then slowly walked forward: "Cuiweizi is the head?"

Cuiweizi nodded slightly: "It's the poor Taoist, I heard that two little friends are looking for me."

Shao Ling stopped not far or near: "How did senior find this place?"

Cuiweizi raised his head and stroked his beard: "The poor Taoist studied the Book of Changes, mastered the principles of gossip, and has obtained the true biography of King Wen. Looking up at the sky, looking down at the geography, and counting with your fingers, you will know where you are going."

Li Zhaoxue saw that he was a man of immortal demeanor, so she naturally believed in him, but she faintly felt that the cadence of the head of the Supreme Harmony was a bit like a storyteller in a teahouse.

Shao Ling asked again: "Rumors are spreading in Taihe City, seniors know?"

"Rumors?" Cuiweizi stroked his beard and smiled, "Recently there are as many rumors in Taihe City as crucian carp crossing the river, they are like falling snow, chirping like cicadas, which one are you talking about?"

Shao Lingdao: "Qin Gutong will bring the secret volume of the Heavenly Book to Taihe City and use it as a prize in the Martial Dao Conference. Is it true or not?"

Cuiweizi suddenly said: "So this is the matter. Qin Gutong and my Taihezong have a very close friendship. I received a letter from her half a month ago, saying that I will go to Jinan City to settle my personal affairs, and I will visit after the Martial Arts Conference."

Li Zhaoxue felt relieved when she heard the words, since Cuiweizi knows the inside story, she can clarify it in public at that time.Seeing that Shao Ling was silent, she asked, "Senior, the artisans recruited by Taihe City..."

Shao Ling raised his hand to block her, looked directly at Cuiweizi and said, "Since senior knows, why didn't he clarify for her, making the city full of storms now."

Cuiweizi smiled without saying a word, and took out a folding fan from his sleeve.

Shao Ling held the river-drawing sword behind his back with his backhand.

The tired bird flew in fright, murderous aura filled the air.

Cuiweizi raised his folding fan and slapped his palm, there was a crisp "pop".Shao Ling drew his sword at the same time, slashing across the river and screaming, the sword energy slashed down, mighty like a river running eastward like a sea.

Startled, Li Zhaoxue stretched out her hand towards her waist.

At this moment, Shao Ling's feet felt astringent.But when he heard the voice from the tree behind Cuiweizi, the silver light flickered in front of his eyes, and the voice in his ear was endless——

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Shao Ling's wrist jerked, and the sword and shadow intertwined and danced airtightly.She hurriedly retreated to Li Zhaoxue, and shouted, "Go quickly."

Li Zhaoxue knew that she would cause trouble by leaving pictures, so she turned around and was about to run into the forest, when Cuiweizi sneered behind her: "Where are you going?"

How could Shao Ling let him go, and immediately raised his sword to meet him.Unexpectedly, Cuiweizi was like a ghost, and even passed her in a flash.With a movement of Shao Ling's shoulder, the long sword drew an arc to chase Cuiweizi's throat.

Cuiweizi retreated again in a flash, followed by the river-drawing sword, the sword's momentum was like a rushing river, one wave after another, and one wave was higher than the other.

Cuiweizi's figure was unimaginably fast, like a light smoke in the wind, and his Taoist robe was hunting.He shook the paper fan and made clicks from time to time.

"Nowadays, all girls like such open and close moves? Shao Xiucheng's swordsmanship is indeed interesting, but your skill is not enough. Water and even soft to rigid things, your sword intent has the wantonness of rolling waves, but lacks the turmoil The violence that beats the shore."

"Shan, you are so talkative! After you go to heaven, the gods will bother you."

Shao Ling felt the wind in the back of his head, and forced Cuiweizi to retreat with his sword, hastily turned half a circle with his sword and stabbed behind him.The visitor stretched out his hand and pinched the Huajiang sword, and twisted and twisted to force Shao Ling to let go.

Shao Ling's elbow was reflexed and she was in severe pain. Since she refused to give up the sword, she put her hand on the hilt of the sword and spun it around.However, the manpower was so strong that she couldn't pull out the river-drawing sword twice in a row.

The visitor had a high nose and deep eyes, a full beard, and a strange accent: "Come and help brother, the gods are watching you."

Before Shao Ling understood, Cuiweizi, who was watching from the sidelines, joined the battle.Shao Ling was no match for these two people, barely resisted seven or eight moves, and Cuiweizi knocked the folding fan on the back of his neck, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

The storyteller changed his original voice and complimented the visitor: "Second Elder came so fast, I'm afraid I'd be in trouble if it wasn't for you."

"They're all brothers in the church." The second elder waved his hand, and when he saw Li Zhaoxue came back, he pointed to Shao Ling who was on the ground, "Take them away together, let's go back, don't miss the prayer time."
