Chapter 64 Help
The town at the foot of Wanmei Mountain Villa is much more prosperous than usual. If it was said to be peaceful in the past because of its unknown origin, it is now because of the owner of the villa known as the Sword God.
When Shen Qi rushed all the way to come here, the west was already setting sun lightly.No one recognized her, because although she was still wearing the distinctive red dress, her face was covered with a light red veil.
She came to this town about 19 years ago. No matter how much a person's appearance can be maintained, it is impossible for her to remain unchanged for 19 years. Therefore, after Ximen Chuuxue became a teacher, she left this town and hid in the rivers and lakes. Hide your differences.
The roads in the town are paved with bluestone and clay slabs, and the houses next to her have been renovated. The people who used to meet her in the same generation are now gray-haired, and the children who are acting like a spoiled child have become young girls in their prime.
Anyone who sees the passage of time will feel a sense of powerlessness, and Shen Qi is no exception.
She tied the horse under the shed next to the inn, and as soon as she entered the inn, a clever waiter came up to greet her and said, "Guest officer, who are you? What do you want?"
Shen Qi found a corner seat, and said as she walked, "One, here's a stack of scallion tofu and miscellaneous grain porridge. And a pot of plum blossom wine."
This inn is also the property of Wanmei Mountain Villa, so the plum blossom wine is also a familiar taste.
It's just that when the wine and dishes were served, for some reason, there was an extra pile of pickles.Shen Qi raised her eyes in doubt, and the waiter in the shop smiled kindly: "This is a gift."
Shen Qi glanced around, it was not lunch time, there were not many people in the store, there were only two middle-aged men in common clothes in the southeast corner, from her position, it could be seen that there was no food on the table. pickle.
The waiter in the shop looked at her eyes, how could he not understand, he hurriedly smiled and said: "I gave this stack of pickles to the girl, the feeling you give me, girl, is quite similar to a sister I met when I was young."
His eyes showed nostalgia and gratitude: "When I was young, every year during the Spring Festival, she would come down from the mountain to distribute red envelopes to the children in the town, and the money was quite generous. At that time, my mother was seriously ill. only the gold leaf can afford the medicine.”
Shen Qi asked curiously: "Then your mother..."
The waiter in the shop lowered his eyes: "I have passed away the year before last."
If calculated according to age, it can be regarded as the end of life.Shen Qi was speechless for a while, and the waiter also seemed to feel that he had talked too much, smiled apologetically, and said: "You take it easy." Then he turned and left.
Shen Qi took a few more glances at the waiter in the shop without any trace, and vaguely found a trace of familiarity.But I still can't remember what he looked like when he was young.
She deliberately chose a corner location, and she was facing the wall. When entering the store, she could only see her back. After the waiter walked away, Shen Qi looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she took off her veil.
After the meal, it was already dark, and according to Ximen Chuuxue's habit, the lights might have been turned off to rest at this time.Due to the abnormality of the previous data, this mission no longer required a time limit, so Shen Qi was not in a hurry, so she opened a room at the inn and took a good night's rest to relieve the fatigue of the journey.
On the second day, when the sun was high, Shen Qi got up from the quilt, put on her clothes and prepared to leave the inn, but when she opened the door, she saw a familiar figure downstairs through the gap in the railing on the second floor.
Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng with two eyebrow-like mustaches.
I don’t know if it’s because Sikong Zhaixing joked with her when he was young and pretended to be a woman, but Lu Xiaofeng started to grow a beard when he reached his age. His face was originally very youthful, but after adding a beard, although It is more masculine, but it seems to be several years older than its real age.
When he came here, he was either looking for someone at Wanmei Villa, or he had just come down from Wanmei Villa.But Ximen Chuuxue is not a person who will make friends leave home hungry, so since Lu Xiaofeng came here to eat, it means that he is going to Wanmei Villa.
Lu Xiaofeng was talking to a man at the table at this moment, his bright eyes turned into crescent moons, obviously very happy, the man's position happened to be with Shen Qi on his back, so Shen Qi could only see him wearing a white suit The exquisite long gown with blue pattern on the bottom, neat crown and hair, tall and straight figure, straight back, with a sense of politeness and gentleness.
Shen Qi raised her hand to touch the veil on her face, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked down the stairs.
Without any hesitation, she walked up to Lu Xiaofeng directly, met the other's surprised gaze, sat between the two of them, said with a faint smile, "Long time no see."
As soon as the voice came out, Lu Xiaofeng's originally puzzled eyes instantly turned excited: "Sister Shen!"
Shen Qi was helpless: "After so many years, you still like to take advantage of Ximen Chuuxue just like Er Gouzi."
Lu Xiaofeng wiped his nose and said resentfully: "But now we can only take advantage of it secretly, now I and Er Gouzi can't beat him together."
Shen Qi looked at the white-clothed man on the right, and as expected, the man had a handsome face that matched his gentle temperament. When she noticed her gaze, the white-clothed man smiled and said gently: "Why not?" Shall we introduce?"
"Hua Man Lou, my friend." Lu Xiaofeng pointed to the man in white, then withdrew his hand, and said, "This is an elder I've known since childhood, Shen Qi, who is also Ximen Chuuxue's sword master."
Hua Manlou was surprised: "But her voice sounds no more than 20 years old."
Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly: "When I met her more than ten years ago, she was already in her 20s. This young voice must be her disguise."
After all, he looked at Shen Qi and smiled meaningfully: "It's human nature to grow old. Sister Shen, you should take off your veil. I won't laugh at you."
Shen Qi sighed: "I'm not afraid of being laughed at, I'm just afraid of scaring you."
After all, she raised her hand and took off her veil.
Lu Xiaofeng's smiling expression suddenly froze.
Hua Manlou heard the sudden accelerated heartbeat, and sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that I can't see Lu Xiaofeng's frightened appearance, that appearance must be impressive."
Lu Xiaofeng's expression was indeed indescribable. He looked at the woman's face that was the same as when he parted seven years ago, and said dryly: "...I, I know that you taught Sikong Zhaixing's disguise."
Shen Qi: "But you also know that I have never liked disguises, and my voice has not been disguised."
Lu Xiaofeng: "I also know that some exercises have the effect of retaining beauty..."
But those exercises only maintain the surface, and there will always be some traces that cannot be covered up.But the woman in front of her did not show any trace of being favored by time.
Just when Lu Xiaofeng was speechless, there was a clear and clear sound of broken porcelain from the side.
The second-hand tray of the small shop that was passing by serving dishes had fallen to the ground, the porcelain plates on the tray were broken, and the meals were scattered on the wooden floor.But he didn't care about cleaning up, he just stared at Shen Qi blankly, his expression gradually becoming frightened.
"...female...female monster..."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Qi frowned, and hurriedly put on the veil, but the shop waiter was frightened out of his mind, and rushed out of the inn with a scream, regardless of the shopkeeper's angry shout.
"What's wrong with him!" The shopkeeper behind the counter hurried over, looked at Shen Qi who was already wearing a veil, and said with a wry smile, "Sorry, sir."
"It's nothing." Shen Qi said lightly with downcast eyes.
After the shopkeeper ordered the other staff to clean up the broken porcelain plates, Shen Qi withdrew her gaze, and there was a moment of silence in this corner.
The smile on the corners of Hua Manlou's lips had unconsciously slipped, but after all, he and Shen Qi were just acquainted for the first time, and they didn't know each other well, so they didn't say much.
The surprise in Lu Xiaofeng's eyes became clear, he stroked the beard on the corner of his lips, and said with a wry smile: "This is the reason why you have been away for so many years, so people can't find you?"
"Probably." Shen Qi glanced at Hua Manlou, then changed the subject, "Why are you here?"
Lu Xiaofeng wisely stopped asking further questions: "We are here because we are going to ask Ximen Chuuxue for help."
"But..." He changed his words, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "At first I was worried about how to please him, but now there is no need."
Hua Manlou said: "Ximen Chuuxue's master is right in front of you, why bother to look far away."
Shen Qi said: "But you don't need to ask him for help, but I still have something to ask him for."
Rhododendrons and wild chrysanthemums are blooming all over the mountains and plains, and the familiar scenery makes people nostalgic. Shen Qi squinted slightly and looked at the quaint buildings that were faintly visible in the distance. Like Xiao Er, call me a female monster?"
Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly: "Among all the people in the world, he is the least likely to feel that way. Although he doesn't say it, he has always respected you."
"I know." Shen Qi pursed her lips, and naturally understood that what she just said was nonsense, and according to her previous personality, she would not say such things.
But the shop waiter said yesterday that he was very grateful for his help back then, but today he saw her face and fled in panic...
Even Bai Yujing, when he saw him in Diancang, didn't he smash the wine jar in shock, remembering the theory of gods and ghosts?
longevity.longevity.
Shen Qi chewed on these two words, and unavoidably thought of her mother's behavior of abandoning herself and longevity.
She has only lived for more than 200 years now, and she has already begun to feel a little bit confused about the word longevity. If it is another thousand years or ten thousand years, will she really be able to endure this loneliness and the fearful eyes of others?
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Shen Qi's ecstasy, and sighed in his heart, he didn't want to ask her why her face didn't change, but if he didn't know the reason, he couldn't explain it.
At this moment, Hua Manlou stopped in his tracks and said, "I'll wait for you here."
Shen Qi looked at him suspiciously, while Lu Xiaofeng had a clear look, and at the same time knew that the friend who spoke at this moment was also to separate Shen Qi's mind.
"I should have thought that a person like you who cherishes life would not want to see him."
"I just think the scenery here is beautiful, so I want to stop and appreciate it carefully." Hua Manlou smiled lightly, "I'll wait for you here."
Shen Qi didn't ask a blind man how to appreciate the scenery, she knew that some blind people can sometimes see more and more clearly than healthy people.
Not far away, Shen Qi glanced at the man standing upright with his hands behind his back. He was looking at a bunch of flowers in front of him with dull eyes. Touching, modest gentleman, gentle as jade, nothing more than that.
She sighed, turned her gaze back, and took out a palm-sized thin-necked white jade porcelain vase, with a slight shaking of her wrist, she threw it in the direction of Lu Xiaofeng in front of her.
Sensing a gust of wind coming, Lu Xiaofeng didn't panic, his right hand flipped behind his back lightly as if he had eyes, and with a light stretch of index finger and middle finger, he clamped the thin neck of the white jade porcelain vase.
"If you show off your skills in front of me again, I can't help but want to try if your 'Consonant Finger' can hold my sword."
Just as Lu Xiaofeng brought the white jade porcelain vase in front of his eyes, he was so excited that he begged for mercy: "I don't want to try it at all."
He wasn't even sure of catching Ximen Chuuxue's sword, let alone Shen Qi who had known her for so many years and had never seen the upper limit of her sword skills.
Lu Xiaofeng opened the red medicine stopper, moved his nose, a light medicine fragrance came to his nostrils, he couldn't help being shocked when he smelled it.According to his knowledge, he could naturally perceive the extraordinary nature of this medicine, and couldn't help but be surprised by Shen Qi's intentions.
"This is?"
"Purple Sudan. It has a miraculous effect on treating deaf-mute diseases." Since Bai Yujing fell ill last time and she was helpless, Shen Qi added a lot of unorthodox medicines in the warehouse, ranging from minor colds to terminal disabilities. Everything you need.The points from the last mission were also squandered.
Unexpectedly, this was just a preparation for peace of mind, but it really came in handy.
Lu Xiaofeng blinked blankly, as if he hadn't realized the meaning of Shen Qi's words, but within a few seconds, there were turbulent waves in those big round and bright eyes, and he carefully put the medicine plug on , and then put the thin-necked white jade porcelain vase in his bosom very preciously. After doing this series of actions, he suddenly jumped up, rushed towards Shen Qi, and hugged her fiercely.
The moment Lu Xiaofeng made a move, Shen Qi subconsciously wanted to back away, but in the end she didn't move, but Lu Xiaofeng had grown up after all, and could no longer bury her head in her arms and take advantage of it like a child , when he hugged her, his chin even reached the top of her head.
This embrace is fleeting, but the hot breath is unforgettable for a long time.
Shen Qi suddenly felt that longevity is not bad, at least he can have the opportunity to watch such an excellent child grow into an excellent man.
Lu Xiaofeng vented his excitement, it took him a long time to calm down, and sighed, "I really wish I could run down the mountain now."
After that, he couldn't help but continued: "Sometimes I often feel that it is because Huamanlou is too perfect that God deprived him of his light."
"God?" If this refers to the main god... Shen Qi couldn't help laughing when she thought of this, "God realized that I did something wrong, so he sent me as an emissary to make up for it."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "I don't know where your temple is, but I will go to worship later."
Shen Qi said: "I am alive right in front of you, no matter what temple you worship, wouldn't it be faster to kowtow to me directly."
The two joked all the way to Wanmei Villa, the servants at the door were very familiar with Lu Xiaofeng's face, so they didn't stop him, but when they looked at Shen Qi, there was some suspicion in their eyes.
In order to prevent the incident at the inn from happening again, Lu Xiaofeng stood by her side calmly.
Shen Qi smiled gratefully when she saw this, but she did not hide it, and walked straight ahead. She is not a glass-hearted person, and her previous loss has long been self-adjusted. Now let alone a "female monster", even if it is a hundred A thousand words, she will not take it to heart.
It's just after lunch, and according to what she knows about Ximen Chuuxue, he should be reading in the study.
Lu Xiaofeng obviously understood this too, the two of them walked towards the study in unison, and when they arrived at the door, they met Uncle Wang, who is now over 70 years old, in this Wanmei Villa, if one speaks of strength other than Ximen Chuuxue Who is the most profound person? Uncle Wang. He followed Ximen Chuuxue when he was young and raised him. No one knew his origin, and he never showed his martial arts.But just judging from his appearance now that he is over seventy years old, his waist is straight, his legs are strong, and he is full of energy, it can be seen that he is somewhat extraordinary.
Uncle Wang is not as easy to fool as those servants, even through a layer of veil, he still recognized Shen Qi's identity at a glance, his wrinkled face trembled slightly, and he exclaimed: " Miss Shen?! You are back!"
After the words fell, the closed door was pushed open with a 'squeak', and the man in white with a cold demeanor cast his gaze, and a trace of emotion flashed across his usually expressionless face: "Master."
Shen Qi smiled and waved: "My dear apprentice, long time no see."
Ximen Chuuxue turned around and entered the room. Needless to say, Shen Qi and Lu Xiaofeng entered the study room together. The layout here was just like the owner of the room. It could only be described as clean and tidy. With this booklet unfolded on the desk, Shen Qi glanced at it. After a quick glance, he saw that it seemed to be a sword manual.
Eat, practice swords, read sword manuals, and occasionally read a few medical books.Such a monotonous and boring life, only this apprentice sword idiot can enjoy it.
Lu Xiaofeng complained: "Senior Shen called you 'Otaku', it's so appropriate."
When he was young, he talked nonsense, and it was fine for Zhan Zhan to make a joke. When he grew up, he would rarely call Shen Qi "Sister Shen" in front of Ximen Chuuxue.
Ximen Chuuxue and Shen Qi haven't seen each other for many years. Although his face didn't change at this time, his heart was actually filled with excitement. He sat down politely after Shen Qi took a seat, and asked: "Master, have you been there all these years?" where?"
Lu Xiaofeng pricked up his ears, he was also very curious about this matter, he always felt that if a character like Shen Qi was in the rivers and lakes, it would be like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which would definitely cause ripples, but unexpectedly she left Lu Xiaofeng even tried to find out about her through Dazhi Datong, but even Dazhi Datong, who is said to be omniscient, did not know her whereabouts.
Facing the two scorching gazes, Shen Qi rested her chin and pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I have traveled to many places and seen many scenery. I went to the top of Mount Hua to see the rolling clouds, the sunrise and sunset, and the extreme northern ice field. The snow wolves are besieging and killing wild bears..."
Every time she does a mission, she is used to going straight to the point. She rarely has the opportunity to truly appreciate the beauty of the mission world in such a relaxed manner, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will feel a little lonely if one looks at it for a long time.
"In the last two years, I went to Dali, visited the master of Diancang, then built a wooden house on the back of Diancang Mountain, and stayed there until I had something to do a few days ago, so I came down the mountain to find you."
The last sentence successfully awakened Lu Xiaofeng who was a little distracted, and Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "I have been to the top of Mount Hua several times, and every time I go, my mood is very different."
Lu Xiaofeng was originally a prodigal son, and he was also a person who liked to see the scenery everywhere. Shen Qi's words could be said to have touched an itchy spot in his heart. He wished he could grow a pair of wings and be able to fly to those scenery places he had never seen before.
"But you said you came to Ximen Chuuxue because you had something to do. I'm not going to ask you what's the matter."
Ximen Chuuxue said: "Master, please speak frankly."
Shen Qi was silent for a moment, and looked at the long sword on Ximen Chuuxue's waist. The sword was just like the one she had forged when she first forged it, but the patterns on the hilt had been blurred, just like every swordsman's right hand The palm prints are the same, because holding the sword for a long time, you can't see it clearly.
"Give me your sword." She held out her hand.
Without hesitation, Ximen Chuuxue untied the long sword and handed it to Shen Qi.
Holding the long sword, Shen Qi opened the task panel, but what she saw was still unfinished.
Although a little disappointed, Shen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.Ximen Chuuxue attaches great importance to this sword. If she really asks for it, although she is [-]% confident that he will offer it to her, the relationship between the two of them will also be wiped out because of this matter. This is what Shen Qi doesn't like would like to see.
Since it's not the black sheath sword, the word "Sword God" in the mission does not refer to a simple title, but should be the strongest swordsman in this arena.
Dugu Yihe, head of Emei, Ye Gucheng, lord of Baiyun City, and Mu Taoist of Wudang.
A line of lists slowly spread out in my mind.
Shen Qi handed the black sheath sword back, and said with a smile: "It's all right, I just haven't forged a work that surpasses this black sheath sword for a long time, so I just want to have a look at it to get a feeling."
Ximen Chuuxue and Lu Xiaofeng could naturally sense the strangeness in her words, but they were used to trusting her, so they didn't ask too many questions. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ximen Chuuxue finally couldn't help but linger on the words that had haunted her since they met. The doubt in my heart was thrown: "Master... what's wrong with your face, why is it always covered?"
Shen Qi sighed, raised her hand to remove the veil: "My face is fine, I just don't want to scare you."
A young and familiar face appeared in front of his eyes, Ximen Fuxue stared at it for a moment, the corners of his lips gently curled slightly: "Master, you are too worried, no matter what you become, the fact that you are my master will never change .”
Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "I used to think that Ximen Chuuxue was a person who couldn't speak, but now I realize that I was wrong, a big mistake."
Ximen Chuuxue withdrew her smile, and said coldly: "I used to think that Lu Xiaofeng was a good talker, but now I realize that I was wrong too."
Shen Qi pursed her lips slightly and smiled, as if she saw the tit for tat appearance of them when they were young again.
However, because Huamanlou was still waiting at the foot of the mountain, Shen Qi only exchanged greetings with Ximen Chuixue for a while, and then had no choice but to go down the mountain with Lu Xiaofeng.
On the way down the mountain, Shen Qi asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"I need your help with someone."
Shen Qi: "Who is it?"
"The head of Emei, Dugu Yihe."

Thanks to Xiao and Youhuang for their nutrient solution, meme chirp!
I was wrong!I will never indulge in eating chicken again!
There is still no day for ten thousand today, only six thousand, woo woo woo.
I seemed to hear the voice of Wan crying.
Things like flag really can’t be erected casually, please forgive me.
PS: Tomorrow’s recovery day will be [-]…I’m exhausted QAQ
After writing this, there is no suspense about who the target of the mission is.
When Shen Qi rushed all the way to come here, the west was already setting sun lightly.No one recognized her, because although she was still wearing the distinctive red dress, her face was covered with a light red veil.
She came to this town about 19 years ago. No matter how much a person's appearance can be maintained, it is impossible for her to remain unchanged for 19 years. Therefore, after Ximen Chuuxue became a teacher, she left this town and hid in the rivers and lakes. Hide your differences.

She tied the horse under the shed next to the inn, and as soon as she entered the inn, a clever waiter came up to greet her and said, "Guest officer, who are you? What do you want?"

"I know." Shen Qi pursed her lips, and naturally understood that what she just said was nonsense, and according to her previous personality, she would not say such things.
But the shop waiter said yesterday that he was very grateful for his help back then, but today he saw her face and fled in panic...
Even Bai Yujing, when he saw him in Diancang, didn't he smash the wine jar in shock, remembering the theory of gods and ghosts?
longevity.longevity.
Shen Qi chewed on these two words, and unavoidably thought of her mother's behavior of abandoning herself and longevity.
She has only lived for more than 200 years now, and she has already begun to feel a little bit confused about the word longevity. If it is another thousand years or ten thousand years, will she really be able to endure this loneliness and the fearful eyes of others?
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Shen Qi's ecstasy, and sighed in his heart, he didn't want to ask her why her face didn't change, but if he didn't know the reason, he couldn't explain it.
At this moment, Hua Manlou stopped in his tracks and said, "I'll wait for you here."
Shen Qi looked at him suspiciously, while Lu Xiaofeng had a clear look, and at the same time knew that the friend who spoke at this moment was also to separate Shen Qi's mind.
"I should have thought that a person like you who cherishes life would not want to see him."
"I just think the scenery here is beautiful, so I want to stop and appreciate it carefully." Hua Manlou smiled lightly, "I'll wait for you here."
Shen Qi didn't ask a blind man how to appreciate the scenery, she knew that some blind people can sometimes see more and more clearly than healthy people.
Not far away, Shen Qi glanced at the man standing upright with his hands behind his back. He was looking at a bunch of flowers in front of him with dull eyes. Touching, modest gentleman, gentle as jade, nothing more than that.
She sighed, turned her gaze back, and took out a palm-sized thin-necked white jade porcelain vase, with a slight shaking of her wrist, she threw it in the direction of Lu Xiaofeng in front of her.
Sensing a gust of wind coming, Lu Xiaofeng didn't panic, his right hand flipped behind his back lightly as if he had eyes, and with a light stretch of index finger and middle finger, he clamped the thin neck of the white jade porcelain vase.
"If you show off your skills in front of me again, I can't help but want to try if your 'Consonant Finger' can hold my sword."
Just as Lu Xiaofeng brought the white jade porcelain vase in front of his eyes, he was so excited that he begged for mercy: "I don't want to try it at all."
He wasn't even sure of catching Ximen Chuuxue's sword, let alone Shen Qi who had known her for so many years and had never seen the upper limit of her sword skills.
Lu Xiaofeng opened the red medicine stopper, moved his nose, a light medicine fragrance came to his nostrils, he couldn't help being shocked when he smelled it.According to his knowledge, he could naturally perceive the extraordinary nature of this medicine, and couldn't help but be surprised by Shen Qi's intentions.
"This is?"
"Purple Sudan. It has a miraculous effect on treating deaf-mute diseases." Since Bai Yujing fell ill last time and she was helpless, Shen Qi added a lot of unorthodox medicines in the warehouse, ranging from minor colds to terminal disabilities. Everything you need.The points from the last mission were also squandered.
Unexpectedly, this was just a preparation for peace of mind, but it really came in handy.
Lu Xiaofeng blinked blankly, as if he hadn't realized the meaning of Shen Qi's words, but within a few seconds, there were turbulent waves in those big round and bright eyes, and he carefully put the medicine plug on , and then put the thin-necked white jade porcelain vase in his bosom very preciously. After doing this series of actions, he suddenly jumped up, rushed towards Shen Qi, and hugged her fiercely.
The moment Lu Xiaofeng made a move, Shen Qi subconsciously wanted to back away, but in the end she didn't move, but Lu Xiaofeng had grown up after all, and could no longer bury her head in her arms and take advantage of it like a child , when he hugged her, his chin even reached the top of her head.
This embrace is fleeting, but the hot breath is unforgettable for a long time.
Shen Qi suddenly felt that longevity is not bad, at least he can have the opportunity to watch such an excellent child grow into an excellent man.
Lu Xiaofeng vented his excitement, it took him a long time to calm down, and sighed, "I really wish I could run down the mountain now."
After that, he couldn't help but continued: "Sometimes I often feel that it is because Huamanlou is too perfect that God deprived him of his light."
"God?" If this refers to the main god... Shen Qi couldn't help laughing when she thought of this, "God realized that I did something wrong, so he sent me as an emissary to make up for it."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "I don't know where your temple is, but I will go to worship later."
Shen Qi said: "I am alive right in front of you, no matter what temple you worship, wouldn't it be faster to kowtow to me directly."
The two joked all the way to Wanmei Villa, the servants at the door were very familiar with Lu Xiaofeng's face, so they didn't stop him, but when they looked at Shen Qi, there was some suspicion in their eyes.
In order to prevent the incident at the inn from happening again, Lu Xiaofeng stood by her side calmly.
Shen Qi smiled gratefully when she saw this, but she did not hide it, and walked straight ahead. She is not a glass-hearted person, and her previous loss has long been self-adjusted. Now let alone a "female monster", even if it is a hundred A thousand words, she will not take it to heart.
It's just after lunch, and according to what she knows about Ximen Chuuxue, he should be reading in the study.
Lu Xiaofeng obviously understood this too, the two of them walked towards the study in unison, and when they arrived at the door, they met Uncle Wang, who is now over 70 years old, in this Wanmei Villa, if one speaks of strength other than Ximen Chuuxue Who is the most profound person? Uncle Wang. He followed Ximen Chuuxue when he was young and raised him. No one knew his origin, and he never showed his martial arts.But just judging from his appearance now that he is over seventy years old, his waist is straight, his legs are strong, and he is full of energy, it can be seen that he is somewhat extraordinary.
Uncle Wang is not as easy to fool as those servants, even through a layer of veil, he still recognized Shen Qi's identity at a glance, his wrinkled face trembled slightly, and he exclaimed: " Miss Shen?! You are back!"
After the words fell, the closed door was pushed open with a 'squeak', and the man in white with a cold demeanor cast his gaze, and a trace of emotion flashed across his usually expressionless face: "Master."
Shen Qi smiled and waved: "My dear apprentice, long time no see."
Ximen Chuuxue turned around and entered the room. Needless to say, Shen Qi and Lu Xiaofeng entered the study room together. The layout here was just like the owner of the room. It could only be described as clean and tidy. With this booklet unfolded on the desk, Shen Qi glanced at it. After a quick glance, he saw that it seemed to be a sword manual.
Eat, practice swords, read sword manuals, and occasionally read a few medical books.Such a monotonous and boring life, only this apprentice sword idiot can enjoy it.
Lu Xiaofeng complained: "Senior Shen called you 'Otaku', it's so appropriate."
When he was young, he talked nonsense, and it was fine for Zhan Zhan to make a joke. When he grew up, he would rarely call Shen Qi "Sister Shen" in front of Ximen Chuuxue.
Ximen Chuuxue and Shen Qi haven't seen each other for many years. Although his face didn't change at this time, his heart was actually filled with excitement. He sat down politely after Shen Qi took a seat, and asked: "Master, have you been there all these years?" where?"
Lu Xiaofeng pricked up his ears, he was also very curious about this matter, he always felt that if a character like Shen Qi was in the rivers and lakes, it would be like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which would definitely cause ripples, but unexpectedly she left Lu Xiaofeng even tried to find out about her through Dazhi Datong, but even Dazhi Datong, who is said to be omniscient, did not know her whereabouts.
Facing the two scorching gazes, Shen Qi rested her chin and pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I have traveled to many places and seen many scenery. I went to the top of Mount Hua to see the rolling clouds, the sunrise and sunset, and the extreme northern ice field. The snow wolves are besieging and killing wild bears..."
Every time she does a mission, she is used to going straight to the point. She rarely has the opportunity to truly appreciate the beauty of the mission world in such a relaxed manner, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will feel a little lonely if one looks at it for a long time.
"In the last two years, I went to Dali, visited the master of Diancang, then built a wooden house on the back of Diancang Mountain, and stayed there until I had something to do a few days ago, so I came down the mountain to find you."
The last sentence successfully awakened Lu Xiaofeng who was a little distracted, and Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "I have been to the top of Mount Hua several times, and every time I go, my mood is very different."
Lu Xiaofeng was originally a prodigal son, and he was also a person who liked to see the scenery everywhere. Shen Qi's words could be said to have touched an itchy spot in his heart. He wished he could grow a pair of wings and be able to fly to those scenery places he had never seen before.
"But you said you came to Ximen Chuuxue because you had something to do. I'm not going to ask you what's the matter."
Ximen Chuuxue said: "Master, please speak frankly."
Shen Qi was silent for a moment, and looked at the long sword on Ximen Chuuxue's waist. The sword was just like the one she had forged when she first forged it, but the patterns on the hilt had been blurred, just like every swordsman's right hand The palm prints are the same, because holding the sword for a long time, you can't see it clearly.
"Give me your sword." She held out her hand.
Without hesitation, Ximen Chuuxue untied the long sword and handed it to Shen Qi.
Holding the long sword, Shen Qi opened the task panel, but what she saw was still unfinished.
Although a little disappointed, Shen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.Ximen Chuuxue attaches great importance to this sword. If she really asks for it, although she is [-]% confident that he will offer it to her, the relationship between the two of them will also be wiped out because of this matter. This is what Shen Qi doesn't like would like to see.
Since it's not the black sheath sword, the word "Sword God" in the mission does not refer to a simple title, but should be the strongest swordsman in this arena.
Dugu Yihe, head of Emei, Ye Gucheng, lord of Baiyun City, and Mu Taoist of Wudang.
A line of lists slowly spread out in my mind.
Shen Qi handed the black sheath sword back, and said with a smile: "It's all right, I just haven't forged a work that surpasses this black sheath sword for a long time, so I just want to have a look at it to get a feeling."
Ximen Chuuxue and Lu Xiaofeng could naturally sense the strangeness in her words, but they were used to trusting her, so they didn't ask too many questions. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ximen Chuuxue finally couldn't help but linger on the words that had haunted her since they met. The doubt in my heart was thrown: "Master... what's wrong with your face, why is it always covered?"
Shen Qi sighed, raised her hand to remove the veil: "My face is fine, I just don't want to scare you."
A young and familiar face appeared in front of his eyes, Ximen Fuxue stared at it for a moment, the corners of his lips gently curled slightly: "Master, you are too worried, no matter what you become, the fact that you are my master will never change .”
Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "I used to think that Ximen Chuuxue was a person who couldn't speak, but now I realize that I was wrong, a big mistake."
Ximen Chuuxue withdrew her smile, and said coldly: "I used to think that Lu Xiaofeng was a good talker, but now I realize that I was wrong too."
Shen Qi pursed her lips slightly and smiled, as if she saw the tit for tat appearance of them when they were young again.
However, because Huamanlou was still waiting at the foot of the mountain, Shen Qi only exchanged greetings with Ximen Chuixue for a while, and then had no choice but to go down the mountain with Lu Xiaofeng.
On the way down the mountain, Shen Qi asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"I need your help with someone."
Shen Qi: "Who is it?"
"The head of Emei, Dugu Yihe."
