Who knows that his sword is too gentle

Bai Jue was invited to board a magnificent painting boat. Except for a few Yadao servants who were cleaning the masts, tables and chairs, the seats were empty. He found a random corner and sat down. His buttocks were not warm yet. Turn back and say to him apologetically: "I'm sorry, you need to change a boat, this one doesn't have enough seats."

The test officer pointed to a new small boat that was brought over next to the painting boat. Compared with the two, the difference in treatment was a bit big.Bai Jue didn't care, he was alone, and he wasn't used to being in crowded places, so he walked down the boat ladder like a stream.

Halfway down, I saw a group of monks in familiar clothes being led to this side. They were dressed in apricot yellow and light yellow Taoist robes, and everyone held a sword in their hands. They were members of Beiman Jianzong.

Bai Jue lowered his head in an instant and quickened his pace, jumping down the boat ladder in twos and twos, the test officer behind him could hardly keep up with him: "Wait a minute—"

People from the Beiman Sword Sect looked at Bai Jue, and someone stopped him and asked the Yadao guide: "Who is this man? Why did you get off the boat?"

The tester turned his head and replied: "He came to the Famous Sword Hall to appreciate the sword. He is alone, and he can just take a boat. Immortal masters are invited on the boat."

Why did people from Beiman come to Yadao?They shouldn't need to come to Yadao to ask for the sword, Bai Xinli wondered.

He always turned his back to the people in Beiman, who was a little strange: "Hey, you, turn around."

Bai Jue pretended to cough and covered his mouth and turned around, showing a flattering smile: "Master Immortal, what's the matter?"

"Hands down."

Bai Jue slowly put down his hands, and looked at the tester with sideways eyes. The tester didn't know why the guests in Beiman called him, and they didn't get on the boat after inviting them for a long time, so they blocked the boat ladder and stared at Bai Jue. .

"Brother, what are you looking at?" The disciples behind him also felt strange.

The leader came back to his senses after hearing the words: "Oh, no... Junior brother, don't you think his figure looks familiar?"

"Does it look familiar?" The man also looked at Bai Jue a few more times, "It seems to be true."

He pointed at Bai Jue and said, "Hey, where did you come from? What's your name?"

"Luosheng in the South China Sea." Bai Jue cupped his fists, "What orders does the immortal master have?"

Although these people were wearing Taoist uniforms of Xingyang, Bai Jue had never seen them before. They looked young, and they might be new monks who had just started after his "death".

"It's okay...you can go."

Bai Jue nodded as farewell, and when he turned around, he heard them whispering while stepping on the boat ladder: "Ah! I know who it looks like! Does it look like the one next to Senior Brother Gu..."

"Shhh! Don't mention that, Senior Brother Gu is right behind."

Bai Jue's feet caught the wind, and he slipped away very fast.

There are not many Gu surnames in Xingyang, but don't be so unlucky.

The small boat arrived at Yazhou Island smoothly. Looking back, the impassable sea area is vast and vast, and the sunlight is just right, making this ghostly uncrossable Dead Sea peaceful and peaceful. , step over, and step into hell.

Looking up at the island of Yazhou, the pavilions and pavilions are integrated with the mountains, trees and moss, and a winding path leads down, as if to lead people into the Taoyuan.

The test officer pointed at Han Shan and said, "This way please."

Bai Jue turned his head and saw that the painting boat was also moored on the shore. Since there is only one passage, it is better to let them go first.He walked over to the Yadao boatman who was busy on the shore, mixed in the crowd, and said with a smile, "I'll go up to the sea later, is that okay?"

The test officer suppressed the displeasure on his face: "It's up to you."

The tester suddenly turned his body to the side, and leaned behind Bai Jue: "Master Duan."

As soon as Bai Jue turned his head, he saw Duan Linfeng running towards him in three steps and two steps, rubbing the back of his head and laughing clumsily: "Luo Sheng, it's really you, you came here so soon?"

The tester was surprised: "Master Duan knows him?"

Duan Linfeng said: "Yes, I'll take him up later, you go back and do your work."

The tester hesitated a little, Duan Linfeng said: "There are so many people here today, you must be short of manpower, don't worry, I know where the guesthouse who came to watch the sword is, I will take him there in a while."

"In that case, I will leave it to Mr. Duan."

After the test officer left, Duan Linfeng winked at Bai Jue: "You can rest assured and stay here first. When those sword watchers leave, I will find an excuse to stay with you for a few more days so that you can take refuge with peace of mind. Don't worry, this case Xianmen attaches great importance to it, and even Beiman has come to cooperate with the investigation, and it will definitely be investigated as soon as possible."

"Beimang is also here to investigate this case?" Bai Jue didn't seem very excited. "Are there other sects here? For example, Guangling, Langyu Pavilion, or...Chanxi?"

"Chanxi didn't come. 30 years ago, Chanxi's vitality was severely damaged. In the past few decades, they rarely go out for activities."

Bai Jue nodded silently, and suddenly saw the mountain pass, the Beiman monks who got on and off the boat were originally scattered and disorderly, but now they stood up to open a passage for the two rows, and a handsome and elegant man came out from behind the crowd.

Wherever he went, Beiman disciples bowed their heads respectfully.

The apricot-yellow Taoist uniform did not add any vitality to him. He looked calmer than 30 years ago. What has not changed is his straight back.

"Gu Rulan is here too." Duan Linfeng touched his chin with emotion.

Bai Jue's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Gu Rulan was holding someone on the left hand side. The person was dressed in purple, and at first glance it looked a bit like the evening sky. He was probably a man in stature. He stood obediently beside Gu Rulan, cuddling up to him with some fear. .

This is so new, I haven't seen you for 30 years, even a person like Gu Rulan who only thinks about cultivation is enlightened?

Bai Jue stretched his neck to see what the purple-clothed monk looked like, and shook it left and right.

Duan Linfeng was amused by his curious look: "Don't look, you're shameless." He didn't doubt who Bai Jue was looking at, everyone who had heard of Gu Rulan's name taboo was so curious at first when they saw him.

"No face?" Bai Jue was startled.

"It's a puppet." Duan Linfeng said.

A faceless puppet?It sounded too scary, and Bai Jue couldn't help but ask, "Why does he bring a puppet with him?"

"Who knows, I've been stimulated." Even Duan Linfeng clicked his lips, "It's good for that puppet, and I took it down the mountain to play and bought him this and that. The protection is airtight, and no one else is allowed to touch the puppet. I used a magic weapon in front of me. But that is a low-level puppet, with Gu Rulan's status, wouldn't it be good to entrust some psychic master to help me make a higher-level puppet? I don't know what kind of eccentricity this Gu Rulan has."

Bai Jue also showed a puzzled expression: "Playing with a puppet is not like Master Gu...Gu Rulan's style."

"You don't know, Gu Rulan practiced in Chanxi before, and I heard from his classmates in Chanxi that the puppet was made after one of his juniors in Chanxi. But those people kept secret who it was. Do you think it's rare? Even Gu Rulan has people who can't ask for it!"

"Strange!" Bai Jue and Duan Linfeng reached an agreement.

The two watched for a while, Duan Linfeng wondered: "Why don't they go in, what are they all doing there?"

Bai Jue looked on tiptoe: "It seems to be stopped."

As soon as his words fell, a shadow suddenly fell in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a scarlet fire phoenix soaring down from the top of the mountain, covering the clouds and covering the sun. Its graceful wings showed a golden glow, which dazzled everyone. squinted.

The phoenix bird hovered at the mountain pass, and a man in white clothes jumped down from the fire phoenix, with long hair like a waterfall, and his clothes fluttered around.His proud and indifferent face is daunting, and there is a sharp edge hidden in his dark eyes.

Bai Jue's whole body tensed up, his lowered hands trembled slightly, his eyes looked in that direction without blinking, and his mind was buzzing.That face awakened too many memories in him, and there were three words hovering between his lips and teeth, almost breaking through the restraint and blurting out.However, the expression on that face was unfamiliar to him.

It was Pei Jin who came, not someone else.

Pei Jin stood in the middle of the road, looked down upon Gu Rulan, and said without any warmth in his voice, "Whoever let him cross the sea, let him get out. Yadao doesn't welcome people with the surname Gu."

Gu Rulan stared at Pei Jin calmly: "If the Taoist case didn't happen here, I wouldn't want to come either."

Pei Jin turned his head impatiently and gestured to his subordinates with his chin.The subordinates looked at each other, but they were very embarrassed.

Gu Rulan passed Pei Jin and planned to go straight in, but Pei Jin suddenly drew his sword in front of him, obviously looking at Gu Rulan, but he was still unwilling to speak to him, but to the disciple behind him: "Call your senior brothers, take I want you to go back to Beimang Mountain."

The puppet next to Gu Rulan seemed to be frightened by Pei Jin, and shrank his neck. Gu Rulan blocked him behind and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Pei Jin didn't know why he became even more angry, pointed his sword at the puppet and cursed: "What are you, you are blocking my eyes by running in front of me."

Gu Rulan, who had always been calm, blocked his sword in an instant, and said coldly, "Young Master Pei, please be more polite."

Pei Jin laughed sarcastically: "Gu Rulan, is it interesting to deceive yourself and others?"

In the crowd, Bai Jue sighed with emotion: "Pei Jin's temper is too stinky, what's wrong with a puppet?"

Duan Linfeng shook his head: "Hey, you don't know, every time I see Gu Rulan, the Young Island Master does this. Today is considered restraint."

"You young island masters, why are you targeting Gu Rulan?" Bai Jue couldn't help asking.

Duan Linfeng shrugged: "The biggest competitor in the sword. Otherwise, who knows why?"

Bai determined to say, Brother Gu is really unlucky, this Pei Jin is too narrow-minded.

The dispute between the two was on the verge of breaking out, and they were about to start a fight. The second passenger boat on the coast had already docked slowly, and another group of monks got off the boat. Those who were begging for swords in the sword hall, their movements caught Pei Jin's attention, and he turned his head to look over.

Bai Jue hurriedly turned his back, pulled Duan Linfeng and pretended to talk to him, racked his brains and asked a few random questions.

I always feel that someone's eyes are on his back, and he wants to burn his back before giving up.

After delaying for a while, looking back, the two groups of people confronting each other on the mountain road seemed to have dispersed a bit, and Pei Jin actually let go of the opportunity to make things difficult for Gu Rulan, and turned away.

Bai Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Pei Jin doesn't want to lose his demeanor in front of the guests. I don't know if he saw him just now?There shouldn't be any clues.

When Gu Rulan and the others finally passed the mountain road and their figures disappeared, Bai Jue relaxed and said to Duan Linfeng, "Brother Duan, take me to see where I live."

*

Duan Linfeng originally thought to try to find a common room for Bai Jue with few people. With so many people coming to the training hall, it's not good for him to be given special treatment.

He negotiated with the disciple who was in charge of allocating guest houses, and before he gave any intention of taking care of it, the disciple took the initiative to say: "Luo Sheng? Is that the fellow daoist who lit up the sensor? Please follow me, His room has been arranged."

"Where is the arrangement?" Duan Linfeng asked, if the location is too far away, try to accommodate it.

"Luboyuan."

Duan Linfeng opened his mouth wide, thinking he had heard wrong.He repeated the question and got an affirmative answer.

Lubo Courtyard is usually a courtyard for important guests, next to the main courtyard, Jifeng Courtyard.The guest rooms there are all single rooms, not only single rooms, but also with forest gardens and hot springs. No one has lived in them for hundreds of years.

Bai Jue was unaware of this, and when he arrived at Lubo Court, he found that he was treated quite well. He thought it was Duan Linfeng's credit, so he thanked him several times.

Duan Linfeng waved his hands confusedly: "It's okay. If you have other needs, come to the Overwatch Council to find me."

"it is good."

It was the first time for Duan Linfeng to come to Lubo Courtyard himself. He walked to the center of the courtyard, looked around, and gave a very knowledgeable admiration. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Bai Jue leaning on the door frame and calling him: "By the way, Brother Duan , is my brother's body also parked in the Overwatch Council with the other four?"

"Correct."

"Can I go and see my brother one last time?"

Duan Linfeng apologized and said: "I really can't help you with this. The secrets related to this case adopt a double-blind strategy. We send the corpse in, and the other hospital takes over. We don't even know who it is. Everything needs Shaodao Only the Lord's warrant can be retrieved."

"Warrant..." Bai Jue was thoughtful, "It's okay, Brother Duan, if that's the case, forget it, I just hope that the murderer can be tracked down as soon as possible."

After Duan Linfeng left, Bai Jue closed the door and looked at the guest room. There were two compartments in total. The outside was spacious and bright, with fresh air, and the tables and chairs were spotless. There were wood carvings on the two round tables by the window sill, and A splash-ink painting was mounted, depicting Yadao Chunsong, and on the Eight Immortals table in the middle was a fresh beautiful woman's smile in a porcelain vase.

Bai Jue leaned over to sniff the fragrance of the flowers, showing an intoxicated expression.

The beautiful girl's smile only blooms on the cliffs of Beihai, and she is youthful for a moment.This one looks like it was picked today.The people of Yadao are so generous, they went all the way to Beihai to pick flowers.

However, it is very strange to put a beautiful smile to entertain strangers. There is a well-known love story behind this flower. Usually, when you see a beautiful smile, it is to express the meaning of "reunion after years".

He almost thought it was recognized by someone, and picked flowers specially for him.But at least this flower was picked before dawn today, who would have expected that he would come to Yadao today?

It does seem to be a coincidence.

Bai Jue was about to go to the inner room to have a look again when he heard someone knock on the door.

"Young master Luo, I'll bring you some food by order of the young master."

Bai decided to be in a good mood, so he went over and opened the door: "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this..."

His voice was stuck in his throat. Apart from the two servants holding the fruit plate at the door, the one standing in the middle was Pei Jin.
