[Comprehensive martial arts] When Qin Daddy travels through the world of martial arts

The air in the first lunar month is still chilly, especially in the humid Yangzhou, where the winter cold has not faded, and only when the sun appears in the daytime can one feel a little warmth.

Two days ago was the Lantern Festival, and there were still untied lanterns in the middle of the street, and there were naughty children gathering in twos and threes, beating them with bamboo poles.

The stalls selling breakfast on the street have already opened, and there is a continuous white mist in the steamer. Pedestrians who get up early for work or businessmen come and go in a hurry, just grab two buns on the street and leave in a hurry .

The small courtyard hidden in the west corner of the city is still calm.

The cold plums are in full bloom in the courtyard, and there is a cool plum fragrance in the air.

In the pavilion, in front of Mei Jingxian were some stoves, small iron pots and other things, and beside them were clay pots filled with red, pink and white plum petals.

He grabbed a handful of red plum petals, crushed them into powder, put them into the wax oil in a small pot, and stirred them evenly with a long spoon.

As the heat evaporates, a light fragrance of plum blossoms also spreads.

Bi Yubai, who was sitting beside him, took a deep breath, and while stirring a bowl of fish porridge with a spoon to cool it down, he said, "I heard that you went to Wanmei Villa a few years ago, and I thought you would celebrate the New Year there, but I don’t want you to run back to Jiangnan again. In fact, you should come to Guangmingding to find us. It’s fun to celebrate the New Year with everyone, and it’s better than you staying in Yangzhou alone.”

Bi Yubai arrived in Yangzhou on the day of the Lantern Festival. Mei Jingxian's birthday was two days after the Lantern Festival. He originally wanted to come to Jiangnan to celebrate Mei Jingxian's birthday, but he decided to come two days earlier and even celebrate the Lantern Festival together.

It was only now that he knew that Mei Jingxian spent the New Year alone last month, and he couldn't help but blame Ximen Chuuxue in his heart.

In the winter, he didn't leave Mei Jingxian for a new year, and even made people return to Yangzhou alone. Such behavior is a bit too lonely.

Mei Jingxian didn't know the complaint in Bi Yubai's heart.

On the second day of plum appreciation, he left Wanmei Villa and returned to Yangzhou.

After all, the New Year is a day for family reunion, he and Ximen Chuuxue have already fallen into an extremely complicated situation, and staying here will only cause embarrassment.

He smiled, and didn't tell Bi Yubai those secrets, and said indifferently: "Kunlun Mountain is too far away, I don't want to be on the road after the New Year's Eve."

The wax oil in another small pot had already been boiled. He lifted the pot, poured the pink wax oil into a flower-shaped mold, inserted the candle wick, and put two red plums on it before the wax oil solidified.

The weather was cold in the morning, and the wax oil poured into the mold solidified quickly.

Mei Jingxian disassembled the mold made of bamboo boards, and tore off the oil paper of the diaphragm. An arm-thick pink flower-shaped candle has been formed, and there are two bright red plums condensed on it, which looks extraordinarily delicate and lovely.

Bi Yubai was attracted, and pushed the porridge in front of Fan Yao, "Help me cool down."

Then he picked up the candle, put it between his nose and sniffed lightly, his cat's eyes narrowed into two slits, "It smells so good, Xiaomei, can you give this to me?"

Mei Jingxian was a little helpless.

After returning to Yangzhou, he made a batch of scented candles and sent a few to Huamanlou, but Huamanxuan came the next day and took most of his candles to please Shiyin.

I wanted to make some more this morning, but I didn't expect Bi Yubai, a blue-eyed cat who doesn't care about trivial matters, to be interested in this stuff.

He pushed several molds of different shapes in front of Bi Yubai, "If you want, you can make it yourself."

Bi Yubai was so excited that he took a mold in the shape of a cat's head and began to tinker with it.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Bi Yubai and Mei Jingxian did it seriously, they didn't even want to move, and said casually, "Fan Yao, go and open the door."

Fan Yao, who was carefully blowing the porridge to cool, obediently put down the spoon in his hand and opened the door.

He came back after a while, still holding a light blue brocade box in his hand.

"What?" Bi Yubai looked up, "Who sent it?"

Fan Yao shook his head, "I picked it up on the ground at the door."

Mei Jingxian paused.

Bi Yubai took the brocade box and shook it by his ear, after confirming that there was no mystery in the box, he opened it and took a look.

Then he handed the box to Mei Jingxian, "Xiaomei, this seems to be a birthday gift for you."

Mei Jingxian's eyes moved slightly.

After a pause, he took the brocade box and slowly opened it.

Layers of red plum petals are laid under the palm-sized brocade box, and a group of jade is placed on top of it.

This group of jade is composed of nine plum blossom-shaped white jades of different sizes, which are connected into a group with light blue strings.

The nine plum blossom jades can be disassembled and reassembled, regardless of the value of the white jade, this ingenuity alone is amazing enough.

Mei Jingxian's heart was complicated, and she had already guessed who the person who gave this thing was.

Bi Yubai's focus is different.

He picked up a handful of plum blossoms from the bottom of the brocade box, and said joyfully, "There are so many plum blossoms, I can make some more candles."

Mei Jingxian couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart.

He took out the jade pendant and poured it out of the petals in the brocade box, then stuffed the jade pendant in, and put it aside, ignoring it.

At dusk, Mei Jingxian brought Bi Yubai and Fan Yao to Baiweilou to pack a table of food. When they got home, Hua Manxuan and Lin Shiyin had already arrived, along with Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng.

A group of people entered the room, first gave Mei Jingxian a birthday gift, and then brought out the big round table that had been idle for a long time, put the dishes on and ate them.

Lin Shiyin was already showing signs of pregnancy, and she lost her appetite, while Hua Manxuan personally fed the food with cloth and vegetables, and the few people at the same table didn't notice the sensuality.

After a few glasses of wine, Lu Xiaofeng and Bi Yubai became acquainted, and couldn't help talking about Mei Jingxian being hunted down before, so angry that Bi Yubai almost ran to Yongcui Villa with a knife in his hand to kill Liu Wumei and Li Yuhan chopped them up together.

Mei Jingxian tried to comfort him before calming him down.

"I don't know if you left early." Lu Xiaofeng sipped his wine and said to Mei Jingxian, "It turns out that Li Guanyu suffered a stroke seven years ago because his Qi went astray during his practice. He couldn't say anything after the stroke. Can't move, and because of this, Yongcui Villa has been controlled by Liu Wumei and Li Yuhan for these years. After Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei were sent back, Li Guanyu knew what they were doing, and in a panic, that The blocked tendons were actually opened..."

Mei Jingxian was very surprised.

Even though Li Guanyu has been silent for many years, but the lingering prestige still exists, Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei did this series of things, he secretly sighed that Li Guanyu was not strict, but he didn't expect that the old man didn't want to control, But can't control it.

Lu Xiaofeng continued: "After Li Guanyu recovered, he directly kicked Li Yuhan and Liu Wumei out of the house. Who would have thought that they not only squandered the wealth of Yongcui Villa, but also used Li Guanyu to hire murderers to kill you? Yu's name, and borrowed a large sum of money from a group of his close friends... Poor Li Guanyu, who was famous for his life, ended up losing his life because of this son."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, and didn't continue talking about this topic.

After the meal, Hua Manxuan and his wife bid farewell to Hua Manlou and left together, but the drunk Lu Xiaofeng stayed behind.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, Mei Jingxian tossed and turned without feeling sleepy, so she had to put on her outer shirt and walk in the courtyard.

On the stone table in the courtyard was a scented candle made by him and Bi Yubai. He lit one casually, and the dim yellow candlelight illuminated the small pavilion.

There is still that brocade box in the corner of the stone table.

Mei Jingxian picked up the box and opened it, and there were nine white jade plum blossoms stacked next to each other, shimmering with lustrous luster under the candlelight.

He remembered what happened at Wanmei Villa, and Ximen Chuuxue's casual attitude, and closed the box again with a click.

A voice suddenly came, "Aren't you going to bed so late?"

It's Lu Xiaofeng.

Mei Jingxian didn't turn her head back, she pushed the box aside, "Didn't you sleep too?"

Lu Xiaofeng sat down opposite him, stroked his beard, and said, "I want to talk to you about something."

"Oh?" Mei Jingxian looked at him suddenly, and said with a light smile, "So you didn't come here specially to celebrate my birthday."

"Cough," Lu Xiaofeng coughed lightly, and said dryly, "Of course I came here specially to celebrate your birthday, and I said it was just a matter of chance."

"Yeah." Mei Jingxian nodded, and said casually, "Since it's by the way, then it's not important. Don't talk about unimportant things."

Lu Xiaofeng paused for a moment, then said with a shy face, "That's still something to talk about."

Seeing that Mei Jingxian didn't respond, he continued, "Have you heard the news from outside?"

"What news?" Mei Jingxian said indifferently: "A new restaurant opened in the east of the city, or is there an additional teahouse in the south of the city?"

In just a few short conversations, Lu Xiaofeng had already clearly understood Mei Jingxian's attitude, and had no choice but to say directly: "I'm talking about Ximen Chuuxue's news."

Mei Jingxian's face remained unchanged, but the hand lying on the table was unconsciously clenched.

"What's up with him?"

"Since you left Wanmei Mountain Villa last month, Ximen Chuuxue has picked up more than a dozen territories of the Western Demon Cult within a month." Lu Xiaofeng looked at him deeply, and said helplessly: "When the new year is over, he is still here Running outside, just to find trouble with the Western Demon Sect, this matter has been widely circulated, I don't believe you don't know."

Since the summit of the Forbidden City, Ximen Chuuxue fought to become a god, and his every move is quite eye-catching.

When everyone was hiding at home for the new year, he focused his attention on the territory of the Western Demon Cult, and he rarely hurt anyone when he did it. His behavior was completely different from the past, and it was even more surprising.

There have been countless speculations about Ximen Chuuxue's weird behavior in the world.

Although Mei Jingxian was quite baffled by Ximen Chuuxue's behavior, she subconsciously avoided thinking about him.

"I know." He nodded and asked, "So what?"

"Jing Xian, you don't know what kind of person Yu Luocha, the leader of the Western Demon Cult, is." Lu Xiaofeng's face was stiff, as if lost in memory, "I met him once last year, and he directed and acted the Raksha card incident at the time. It's a good show. This person's martial arts are mysterious and unpredictable, and what's more frightening is that he is full of scheming, which makes it impossible to guard against..."
