Ghost Net Three: Peering into Immortals [Sword Three]

Liu Huaxin stayed in Chunyang like this.

Fang Lian was guarding the gate, acquainted with the guests together with his junior brother, and the acquaintances traveled from south to north, and occasionally heard some gossip that others did not know.

One day when the snow falls, there are few tourists on the mountain, and Huashan finally arrives at the cleanest time of the year.

After Fang Lian finished sweeping the snow, he set aside a path to lead the way, and then he carried a jar of rocks and went down the mountain along the path, and got into the small thatched hut where the charcoal fire was burning, chatting happily.

In winter, if you move more, you will feel warmer. Talking is also a way of moving. The coachman knows it well.

Fang Lian wins him over, mainly because he often asks him to help take out medicinal materials. Some things are scarce on the mountain, and it is inconvenient for him to run to Chang'an City every day. The driver is also willing to help him run errands to earn a bowl of wine. for company.

Fang Lian asked about the recent road conditions, the driver predicted the time of snow melting with a few words, and then changed the subject, "Badao Villa has been out of the rivers and lakes for many years, but there seems to be some movement recently."

"What's the matter?" Fang Lian answered intermittently, "Badao Mountain Villa is not considered to have faded out of the rivers and lakes, but it has been serving as an imperial merchant since recruiting for the Li Tang Dynasty, almost monopolizing the entire military supply. But when it comes to swords, There has never been a shortage of famous knives in the village."

The coachman raised his eyelids, took off his boots and leaned his feet against the fire, "Hey, what happened recently, I think the Liu family may be involved in the rivers and lakes disputes again."

Fang Lian's eyelids twitched, thinking of the scabbard given to Shen Lingfeng a few days ago, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

"what happened?"

"Liu Fenggu, the old owner of the Liu family, has forged a peerless famous sword for many years. Do you know? Speaking of which, this sword seems to be on our Huashan Mountain."

"Brother is talking about the handle that Senior Liu gave to Aunt Gongsun?" Fang Lian asked knowingly.

"I guess you sword idiots like Chunyang will know about it. I heard that this sword is called 'Relentless', and Liu Fenggu gave it to the Gongsun family as a token, and he hid the scabbard 'Acacia', tsk tsk tsk, it's really romantic. "

"What happened to this sword?"

"I heard that the scabbard was lost a few days ago."

Fang took a sip of wine and spat it out.

"Lost... lost? Isn't the scabbard hidden in the villa as a treasure all the time? How could it be lost so easily?"

"Aren't I also puzzled? You said that there is no safe in the huge Badao Mountain Villa? No secret room? How could it be lost. What's even more strange is that the scabbard has been lost for a few days. Badao Villa didn't immediately issue a hunting order with the power of the imperial court, do you think Liu Wuye is holding back his energy and planning to make a big news?" The coachman sipped his wine and laughed, "But this man, once he passes the age When I am strong, it is easy to miss the old love, let alone the Gongsun family. When I was young, I passed by Xiufang and had the honor to see Fangze. That figure, that waist... No wonder Liu Wuye will never forget her .In my opinion, if such an important lifeblood is lost, the Liu family must have a big trouble this time."

Fang Lian didn't have time to think patiently, he stood up "teng", turned over the stool, and ran out in a hurry.

The coachman was taken aback by him, "Young people nowadays are more anxious than monkeys. The snow hasn't stopped yet. Where are you going, boy! Hey, don't pay attention. I almost knocked over the brazier. My wife The winter clothes I just sewed almost burned..."

He stomped his feet and chased after him, and saw that Fang Lian had gone far along the mountain road, muttered a few words, and returned to the cramped room to drink to warm up and talk to himself.

"Liu Fenggu is kind to Ye Mengqiu, if this matter breaks out, the storm in the rivers and lakes will not be small..."

Fang Lian ran to the top of the mountain like a monkey running away, and when he knocked on the door of Kun Dao's alchemy room, his throat felt a fishy sweet tear.

After waiting for a long time, the pretty girl came out to open the door last time, and rolled his eyes by the way, "Why, knocking so fast, I thought it was on fire."

"Where is Huaxin?!" He yelled, startling the little Taoist nun.

"I... how do I know, I've been painting my heart all day long, you are her follower!" She slammed the door angrily, almost bumping her nose.

Fang Lian stood at the door in a daze for a long time, only to hear a meaningful reminder from inside, "Hua Xin seemed to say that she was going to the Snow Bamboo Forest before going out today, you should look for it."

"It's so cold, what is she doing there?" Fang Lian was stunned, and then felt that he couldn't ask her anything here, so he might as well go and find someone.

The clouds above the head seemed to be full of ink, and the gray and black were pressed down heavily. Fang Lian didn't dare to use light work - if the weather was flying too fast in this kind of weather, I'm afraid the high wind and shattered ice in the air would cut people's skin open.

He walked towards the Snow Bamboo Forest with a dull head, speculating about the origin of his little junior sister.

Feeling that she stole Liu Fenggu's scabbard, just to defeat Shen Lingfeng and join Zhuo Fengming's sect?Will this cost too much?

But the lovesickness scabbard is so precious, how could it be stolen by a little girl like her, not to mention her, even if Shen Lingfeng stole it himself, it's still an issue.

Furthermore, he seemed to have overlooked a problem earlier - Badao Villa belongs to the Liu family, and Liu Huaxin is also surnamed Liu...

Her home is in Chang'an City, which is a bit far away from the Hebei area, but considering Badao Villa's close contacts with the imperial court over the years, it is normal for one or two side branches to settle in the imperial city.

Considering this level, she must have something to do with the Liu family.Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to pick up the leak and steal the scabbard.

There is another thing that has to be taken seriously, which is inseparable from Elder Zhuo's past.

In the early years, due to the incidents of Uncle Xie, Chun Yang had a few times against the court. Uncle Zhuo hated the evil, and once fought with the official when the court sent people to seal up Uncle Xie’s residence. At that time, Lu Zu came forward to mediate and suppressed this matter. .

What was Liu Huaxin thinking? Where did she have the courage to offend the Liu family, and dare to submit a certificate of "I'm from the imperial court" as a teacher?

What's even more weird is that Master Zhuo actually agreed to take her in. Fang Lian began to feel that this matter can only be described as "weird".

Now the scabbard is in Shen Lingfeng's hands...

Fang Lian shivered.Shouldn't he have given him the scabbard?Will Huaxin encounter bad things?

Thinking of her inexplicably running towards the deserted Snow Bamboo Forest in the cold weather, Fang Lian became even more uneasy and couldn't help speeding up her pace a bit.

Just after arriving at the edge of the bamboo forest, I heard the sound of swords clashing, mixed with the girl's thin panting, which was particularly obvious and piercing in the silence of the air.

Fang Lian was short of breath, and started to trot with one foot deep and one foot shallow, not caring that his clothes were occasionally cut by sharp bamboo leaves, but he staggered aside the obstacles and ran towards the source of the sound.

There was only one thought left in his mind.

If something really happened to that girl, he would be the pusher, the accomplice, and he would be guilty for the rest of his life.

What a terrible thing.He will never allow this to happen.

Snow fell in the dense forest, and he even saw a bit of dazzling red through the white gap.

"Hua Xin!" When he finally saw the figure, he yelled violently, as if releasing the depression accumulated for a long time at once, and even the surrounding bamboo leaves were shaken slightly.

The snow on the leaves slammed into the thick snow with a "slap", and the muffled sound startled the lone bird.

The girl's black hair was tied back, and she turned her head when she heard the voice, smiling slightly, "Fang Lian? Why are you here?"

Fang Lian gasped for air, the extremely cold air entered his lungs, making it feel like his chest was about to explode.

He couldn't speak, looked down, and saw a cluster of red tassels that had been neatly cut off on the ground, and the other half was still hanging on Liu Huaxin's rapier.

Shen Lingfeng stood not far away, scanning everything that happened suddenly.

Fang Lian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the snowdrift.

"I... I just made matsutake soup, but you can't find it everywhere. It's cold, and the soup is going to be cold." He spoke incoherently, not knowing if he could get past it.

There is no scabbard.Shen Lingfeng didn't have the scabbard on him.

The girl said, "I'm afraid it's not a weasel giving the chicken New Year's greetings. I was afraid that I would slow everyone down, so I wanted to catch up with the progress. Master asked Brother Shen to teach me how to practice swords. You see, my progress is actually quite fast, and I can do it now." Replace the wooden sword!"

"That's not the soup I made. If you search for so many tonics from me, you'll be a fool if you don't make progress." Fang Lian glanced at Shen Lingfeng secretly, with no expression on his face, and he didn't seem suspicious.

"I brought you into the mountain gate, so naturally I have to teach you." Shen Lingfeng said this to Liu Huaxin, and it seemed that he recognized it.

Fang Lian got up, and immediately said: "Brother, you have worked hard. The soup I made is enough for several people. Why don't we go back and warm up together."

Shen Lingfeng put away the sword and walked back, "Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm going down the mountain later, I'm afraid I won't be blessed."

Liu Hua said strangely: "But the snow is so heavy that the mountain roads are closed..."

"It's okay. Remember to practice the sword moves I taught you just now. I'll check it next time."

"Oh..." the girl agreed awkwardly, and waited for him to walk away before muttering, "It doesn't matter what the meaning is, is he able to turn into a pangolin and roll out of the snow at once? Or is he greedy for a demon body..."

"Why didn't you say that just now?" Fang Lian wanted to use his height to domineering over her head, but he didn't want to rub his hands against his body in disgust.

"It's not cowardly! What kind of mercy are you using, and you are saying that you are merciful, and you can peel off other people's tassels to get six duck skins!"

Fang Lian tapped her on the head, "What kind of duck skin do you have, who did you learn from?"

She pouted, "Yesterday I met a courier from Tangmen who came up the mountain to deliver a letter... I saw that he had a hard time traveling all the way, so I invited him to have a meal in our dining hall and chat for a while."

"..."

Fang Lian picked up the tassel on the ground, and the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became.

"Where did your tassels come from? How come the more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes?"

"Ah? It came from you, didn't you promise to give it to me?"

"When did I promise to give it to you? What the hell..." It was given to him by his ex-senior sister before she went down the mountain to get married, and he kept it for several months and was not willing to use it!Is this heroic?

"Did you forget? Last time I went to your room, you said you could take me. I'm an upright person, and I never secretly take things that others don't agree to give me!" She said It sounds plausible and doesn't look like a fake.

Only then did Fang Lian think of it speechlessly. He predicted snowfall a few days ago, so he needed to bring in the herbs that had been exposed to the sun and move the herbs that had been placed in places that were prone to moisture. As an inducement condition, Liu Huaxin asked Liu Huaxin to come over to help.

He was too busy at the time, so she just looked here and there and felt it, and asked him frequently if he could take some of this medicine back to soak in water, could he hang that medicine bag back to soothe the nerves, and could these medicines be mixed with him? Soak your feet together.

Fang Lian was so entangled with her that he was mad, and he said "yes, yes" in a perfunctory manner. Thinking about it, it was probably at that time that she took the tassel back.

...he finally understood, and calling Liu Huaxin to help would cost him money and be yelled at.

Fang Lian looked at the tassel regretfully, it was cut to pieces and there was no hope of mending it.

Forget it.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Huaxin, recalling the heroic words she said just now, "Are you an upright person? The scabbard of the mercy sword, the feeling was sent to your house by Badao Villa personally?"
