Thorn silk gl

The waterway that Fuwan and his party walked.

In addition to the passenger ship, several cargo ships followed heavily behind.In the morning they entered the boundary of Laozhou Prefecture, the waterway narrowed and became sharper, with many bends, Fuwan held on to the sail rope and looked towards the bow of the boat, and saw that the rocks on both sides of the bank were so steep that they seemed to fall stones at any time, and the top of the mountain was covered. A thin layer of frost was dyed a burning red light by the rising sun.

The wooden boards in the cabin creaked softly.

Fu Wan turned her head, Bai Chan was just pushing open the door and coming out, she didn't seem to expect to meet her, she was slightly taken aback.

"Morning, Miss Bai!"

Bai Chan hummed, walked to her side and stood still: "What are you looking at?"

Fu Wan pointed to the outside: "Sunrise."

Bai Chan glanced casually, and then her eyes fell back on Fu Wan's face.She raised her hand to pinch a bunch of loose hair behind her ears: "Come and eat."

She speaks and moves very familiarly, as if she is used to taking care of her.Fu Wan blushed slightly, watched her get into the cabin again, and after a while, followed her in.

To be honest, Bai Chan's craftsmanship is not very good.Her cooking is simple, nothing more than boiling and roasting the ingredients until they are cooked and then serving them to the table.But she couldn't bear it, and she could always find the freshest ingredients in different ways. The meat was plump and tender, and it was much better than dry food.

It should be said that she didn't know the other guards well after boarding the ship. Those people called themselves regular soldiers, and there was a sense of arrogance in their bones.They squeezed her out intentionally or unintentionally, until they saw her shoot a tit with a flick of a small stone.

It wasn't over yet, the guards were stunned, they saw her bend down to take back the stone, flicked it casually, and shot another one.

Once can be considered a coincidence, but this?They were all numb in the end, watching Bai Chan return with a full load, but they couldn't even catch a fish.That night, a fire was lit in the stern of the boat and the birds were roasted, and the burnt smell went straight into the nose. The guards endured it for most of the night, they were so greedy, you pushed me, you sent a representative over, coyly applying for two with His Highness tit.

Afterwards, some people were overwhelmed by Bai Chan's exquisite skills and came to ask for advice. Bai Chan would never refuse a person who was devoted to martial arts.

After coming and going, Bai Chan seems to have a tendency to replace the chief guard and become the head of the eldest sister.

No, it's not right to say that, the head of the guard himself turned his back on, shouting at each other.

Having said that, at this time Fuwan and Baichan were sitting opposite each other in the cabin, a pot of boiled fish fillets leftover from last night was re-boiled on the table, and it smelled of the fresh aroma of pepper.

Fu Wan made some calculations, and said that he would be able to reach the Beixun River Ferry in the evening, and after that it would be by land.They go quickly, and the goods will have to wait for a few days.

Bai Chan put down his chopsticks when he heard the words: "Yijian Peak is not far from Nanshun Road from Xunjiang Ferry. I have been out for a while, so I should go and say hello to Master."

Fu Wan didn't even think about it and said, "I'm with you." She hadn't told Bai Chan about her doubts about the Empress. On the one hand, she was worried about the connection between Jianzong and the Chen family. How Cicada's sect treats her can be used as a reference.

Bai Chan didn't know about this section.She only thought that Fu Wan wanted to go to see the master with her, and her expression softened: "It's fine if you come."

They dropped anchor at the ferry in the evening.

Considering the previous carjackings, Fu Wan left a whole team of guards to escort the money and food, and several officials assisted him.She herself asked for two fast horses, saying that she and Bai Chan would go south first.

The chief guard almost knelt down for her: "Your Highness, you have a rich body, if something bad or bad happens, the heads of the whole family of your subordinates are not enough to cut off!"

Fu Wan said: "Well, even if you bring all of you together, I'm afraid I can't beat Bai Chan?"

Chief Guard: "..." Heartbroken.

Fu Wan reassured him: "Gu has changed into plain clothes along the way, which is much safer than fanfare. Now that the situation in the south is unclear, it is very dangerous for you to rush over with grain and grass. Go and check first. If there is any need to arrange, we will deal with it in advance." , so that you can go smoothly."

The eight-foot man, the head of the guard, was almost moved to tears: "Hoo, Your Highness!"

Bai Chan frowned slightly, and took a step sideways, seemingly blocking Fu Wan's skirt from him.

After explaining the official business, the two of them got on their horses without further delay.

The scenery of southern Xinjiang is very different from that of the capital city. There are a few tea pavilions next to the official road that seem to have been unmaintained for a long time. They are in a mess and half collapsed. Horseshoes step on the potholes and smoke billows.

The dead tree above the head swayed lightly, and there was a sense of loneliness. After walking for a long time, I didn't meet other merchants.

They continued to go south, and not long after, they saw that towering sword edge in the distance.

Fu Wan looked up and couldn't help but gasp in amazement. He saw that the top of the peak was surrounded by clouds and mist, with flying eaves and brackets faintly exposed, like a place where immortals practiced.At the foot of the mountain there was a small stall for horses. As soon as they tied up the horses, the mountain gate not far away creaked and opened from the inside.

A little boy poked his head out timidly: "Who is it?" His eyes slid past Fu Wan, landed on Bai Chan, and suddenly lit up, "Master Uncle!"

Fu Wan: "..." That boy looked seven or eight years old, but he was two generations behind Bai Chan?

She showed doubts on her face, and couldn't help but glance at Bai Chan again, only to see that this person's face was as beautiful as jade, without even a single wrinkle. It was really indescribable to be called "Master Uncle" so naturally.

The boy looked excited, and pushed the door completely open, revealing the bluestone steps behind.This mountain road is paved with bluestone slabs, narrow and winding, slightly wet with dew, and leads to a high place that cannot be seen.

He put down the broom and saluted respectfully: "I have met Master Uncle!" Then he raised his eyes and stared at her brightly.

Bai Chan only nodded: "Where's Master?"

"Yes!" he replied, "It's a coincidence that you came, the suzerain just came out of retreat a few days ago." He turned his gaze to Bai Chan's back again, "Master Uncle, may I ask this is..."

According to the regulations of the Zongmen, foreign guests have to submit worship cards a few days in advance before they can go up the mountain.Bai Chan glanced at it, raised her hand and pulled Fu Wan over, and said briefly: "My new apprentice."

The boy nodded along: "So it's like... huh???" His expression cracked, "You, have you accepted an apprentice?"

Bai Chan didn't speak, and walked inside while leading Fu Wan.

It was getting late, and they planned to rest at Yijian Peak tonight.

The mountain road is long and narrow, and there are slippery moss on the stone steps in the shade, so it is really difficult to walk.Bai Chan simply hugged Fu Wan in her arms.

Fu Wan looked upside down, let out a low exclamation, and then saw the dense green shade of the trees above her head, with the only sound of wings flapping in the air, so she relaxed a little and leaned obediently in her arms.

The white cicada jumped up and down the steps, her smooth black hair and white silk headband were blown back by the mountain wind, she really looked like a startled bird.

Within half a stick of incense, a platform appeared in front of my eyes, and I saw a bluestone stele erected in the middle of the platform, with the three big characters "Yijianfeng" written on it, which is powerful and majestic.

With this as the boundary, it is considered to have officially entered the boundary of Jianzong.Buildings, squares, and many fields can be seen in the forest behind.

Occasionally, a disciple of Jianzong passed by in a hurry. When they saw Bai Chan, they stopped and saluted before continuing to move forward.They restrained themselves very well, but Fuwan still felt their curious eyes cast on him.

She had a hot face and said, "Put me down first."

Bai Chan did as she said, and asked her if she wanted to rest first, or go to see her master and the old man first.

Fu Wan thought that it would be impolite for the two of them to visit their elders like this.Together with Bai Chan, she went to the wing room to fetch water to wash her hands and face, and then changed into clean clothes.

She put on the costume of a beginner disciple of Jianzong, and stood side by side with Bai Chan, really a bit like a master and apprentice.

When they reached the entrance of the main hall, Fu Wan became a little nervous. Bai Chan seemed to respect her master very much, but she didn't know if her master would hate her.

Hey, I think I will hate it, the apprentice who worked so hard to teach, was kidnapped after going down the mountain.Not good at practicing martial arts and breaking the way of swordsmanship, and being seduced by a vixen, Fan's heart is greatly moved, and he only wants to fall in love.

Fu Wan sighed inaudibly.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a disciple suddenly greeted him, saying that the suzerain was waiting for them in the inner hall.When stepping over the threshold, Fu Wan's heart beat a little faster, and she followed Bai Chan inside nervously.

In the quiet room of the inner hall, when you open the door, you will see a landscape painting with splashed ink.Yijian Peak, where the clouds and mists are rising, has a half-round red sun breaking out of the clouds, and sprinkles golden rays of light.The painting skills are bold and unrestrained, quite chivalrous, and the poems in the corners are also clear and meaningful.

Fu Wan couldn't help but take a second look, then he heard an old man laughing and said: "What do you think of this 'Sun Man Sword Peak Picture'?"

Fu Wan followed the prestige, and saw an old man with white hair and childlike face lying on the top of the futon, his ragged clothes were hanging irregularly at the corners, his posture was casual, and his head was propped on one hand.

She was slightly startled, they hadn't seen the old man when they entered the door just now, and she didn't know when he appeared there quietly.

"This painting is majestic and profound, and the younger generation admires it."

The old man waved his hand: "Hey, the old man doesn't like these empty words. What's good about it, please explain it in detail."

Fu Wan: "..." Isn't rainbow fart enough and a [-]-word essay?She had no choice but to look at the painting carefully again, but this time she saw a bit of shock.

The emerald green mountain, upon closer inspection, looks like a chilling giant sword hanging between the sky and the earth, carrying a fierce and fierce aura.

Riman Jianfeng... You can call it Riman Jianfeng.

Fu Wan relayed this idea.Immediately, the old man's eyes lit up, he jumped up from the futon, and said three good words in a row.He met each other late and said: "Looking at the entire sect, only you, my friend, can understand this painting. You and I are really bosom friends!"

This sudden enthusiasm startled Fu Wan.He rubbed his hands and walked a few steps on the spot, but he thought it was not enough, so he wanted to grab Fu Wan's hand.

Bai Chan pulled her behind and said helplessly, "Master."

Fu Wan: "?" Wait, Master?She couldn't believe to death that Bai Chan, who was rigid like a rock, had such an old naughty and unscrupulous master.

Without saying a word, the old man turned around skillfully, stretched out his fingers and pointed lightly at Bai Chan's blocking arm, Bai Chan changed his moves in response to the sound, and staggered his fingers.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already changed several moves, and at last they met each other, and Bai Chan took half a step back slightly.

The old man stopped and said with a smile, "A Chan, your inner breath is not moving smoothly, and you have distracting thoughts." He paused, "But because of you, my apprentice?" It showed a majestic momentum as sharp as a sword, as if it coincided with the chilling landscape painting behind it.

Bai Chan stood in front of Fu Wan and confronted him with her sword hilt.Fu Wan raised her head, and she could see that her back was straight, her muscles were tense, and she was ready to go.

After a long time, the old man relaxed, stroked his beard and said, "That's all, I'm at this age, why don't you still care about you? I like you little apprentice, you have good courage, and you have good aesthetics. If you don't want it, just let it go." I happen to be your junior sister."

Fuwan slandered in her heart, what aesthetics do you have, isn't it just blowing your rainbow fart?

Bai Chan pulled her a little closer to him, and said coldly, "Don't worry about it."

The old man raised his eyebrows and asked her meaningfully: "Have you really thought about it?"

Bai Chan nodded, and said calmly: "My sword is like my heart, and I will never break it for trivial things." Her eyes were clear and bright, reflecting the candles burning in the hall, the cold eyes that were originally like a deep pool, for the first time With a youthful freshness.

The suzerain stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, looked at the two of them for a while, nodded and said: "That's right. My school of swordsmanship emphasizes the absence of distracting thoughts. Although the ruthless way is good, if you are trapped by the word 'ruthless', it's better to give it a go. .You are young, it is very good to be able to break through this point."

"It's just that since you have chosen your own way, the teacher will no longer be able to teach you. I only hope that even if you go through difficulties in the future, you will not forget your original heart at this moment."

He used internal strength to speak, his voice was like a bell, and he seemed to be able to penetrate the words deeply into the mind of the listener.

Bai Chan knelt down on one knee and said in a respectful voice, "I will keep this in mind."

The suzerain smiled: "Good boy, let's go."

The two bid farewell to the suzerain, and when they walked out of the hall, Fu Wan couldn't help asking Bai Chan what the suzerain meant.

Bai Chan stopped and turned around, raised her hand to straighten her temple hair: "It's nothing to worry about. He also likes you very much."

The use of the word "also" is very intriguing, Fuwan blurted out: "What about you, do you like me too?"

Bai Chan was silent for a moment, and suddenly a faint smile appeared on her thin lips.

——So warm, so lively, the indifferent eyebrows and eyes also became vivid, like the lamp she gave on the Lantern Festival night, burning fiercely in the wind, burning Fuwan's heart hot.

With his hand lifted, Fu Wan could clearly count the other's pulse, which was beating as violently as his own.

Bai Chan said calmly: "Of course I like it."
