Baiyun Hidden Sword [Lu Xiaofeng + Sword III]

When we finally arrived at Longmen, the sky was almost all lit up. The proprietress, who had been away for half a month, stood in the morning light and greeted the lads in the caravan for dinner. No strength.

"Hey, why are you pressing me!"

"What are you in a hurry for? Just wait until Lu Xiaoji treats you to a meal."

"Hey, you're right!" Ye Linghan tapped the camel's neck and shook his legs, "Anyway, I don't know when the next time I will go to the depths of the desert."

It was rare for Sikong Zhaixing to reply, looking at the flag fluttering in the wind of the Longmen Inn not far away, he didn't know what he was thinking, Ye Linghan wanted to take a few more mouthfuls of dry steamed buns to cushion his stomach, but when the wind blew, it turned into a layer of sand, and immediately let him go. People lose their appetite.

The proprietress was very happy to see her finally come back, she went in and prepared her favorite food without waiting for her to open her mouth, and Lu Xiaofeng, who was still sleeping in the upper room of the inn, was finally dragged down by Sikong Zhaixing. Thinking it was a dream, "... Hey, why are you here, Linghan?"

"Didn't you want to look for me?" Ye Linghan winked at him while sipping hot porridge, "If you need me to help with something, treat me to dinner first!"

Four Eyebrows seemed to have finally come to her senses, and hurriedly sat down on the seat next to her, "Of course it's no problem, I've thought about it and only you can help me!"

"You tell me first?"

"It's like this. A few days ago, a friend of mine asked me to find someone who can forge weapons. He has a special status. I'm afraid it will cause gossip if I invite ordinary swordsmiths, so I came to ask you to help me with this favor, because these people Depending on the purpose of the weapons, the money can only be paid for the raw materials, if you are willing to help, I will give you the other money, but there is one requirement, this batch of weapons must be stamped with the seal of the government."

He said so much, but only the last sentence was the main point, Ye Linghan finally understood why Lu Xiaofeng asked him for help.

Those who are bigger in the foundry industry are almost completely unknown, so no one has the guts to be stamped with the official seal, for fear of getting into trouble, but she is the only person here who can be said to have no identity, don't worry There are too many, and it is perfect to do this kind of thing.

"I can help." She agreed without thinking too much. She just came back from the desert and it really took a while for her to set out to explore the road again. Since Lu Xiaofeng was willing to give her money, why not do it.

What's more, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can control her privately printing diaries.

As for why she did this, she thought that even if she asked, Lu Xiaofeng wouldn't tell her, so she didn't ask for trouble.

"Is one month enough time?"

She finished the whole bowl of porridge, reached out to grab the meat bun in front of Sikong, and replied without raising her head, of course it was enough.

"you sure?"

"Are you kidding me by questioning the casting level of a hidden sword disciple?"

"The point is not that I haven't heard of your teacher's name." Lu Xiaofeng knew that this topic should not be talked about, so he raised his hand and called the proprietress to add some side dishes, "I haven't eaten yet, come and come together, since you promised It’s easy to handle, and I’ll come back to pick it up in a month.”

"No."

"how?"

"You pay me half of the deposit first." Ye Linghan smiled and spread her palms towards him.

Sikong Zhaixing didn't go with Lu Xiaofeng, he said that he had nothing to do recently, and it would be nice to stay in Longmen for a while. It happened that she needed someone to help her when she was casting. Ye Linghan was very moved, and then continued to grab the meat in front of him. , The strike is quick and precise, and there is no ambiguity with a chopstick.

When she hid the sword in the past, her casting level was at most just passing the test, and she was ridiculed by Ye Qi all the year round for not having the demeanor of a disciple of the villa. She never thought that one day she would use this technology to support herself.

She has also learned a little about cooking and medicine, but she has forgotten all about it long ago, not to mention sewing, and only casting has been remembered a little so far. At this place, she can at least reach the level of an ordinary swordsmith.

So Lu Xiaofeng came to her as a choice based on multiple considerations, good or bad, the most mediocre level, so naturally it's best to fool her.

The busy January passed very quickly. On the day when all the weapons were casted, the eagle that Sikong Zhaixing was raising and playing happened to come back with a letter sealed in gold leaf, and it barked extraordinarily happily outside her door.

Sikong Zhaixing was squatting on the beam to watch her play with the birds, and suddenly he said that last time you said you wanted to talk about your hometown, now when Lu Xiaoji comes and has nothing to do, just talk about it?

Ye Linghan's hand paused, almost being pecked by the eagle, "You may not believe me if I tell you, let's talk about it."

"How do you know that I don't believe it?" He jumped off the beam, with a very obvious joking element in his expression, "Anyway, if you're idle and bored, just listen to the story."

This expression reminded her of the time when she met him and Lu Xiaofeng for the first time two years ago, the two of them were also making a bet. Later, Ye Linghan realized that the so-called bet was only because Lu Xiaofeng was curious about the sword on her back, so they guessed. Whoever decides who wins or loses will ask.

At that time, Ye Linghan had just arrived in this place not long ago, and with the mentality that he must go home, he inquired about the Central Plains all day long in Longmen. If everyone had the same answer, he probably would not believe that there is no such thing as a hidden sword villa here until today. .

And when Sikong Zhaixing ran over to ask her if she could swing the epee on her back, she took a photo of Lei Feng in the sunset because of her restlessness for many days, and shouted, "Look, I can swing it!"

"How many swordsmen with heavy swords like me have you seen in the world?"

"never seen it."

"In fact, in my hometown, it's not unusual for people from my teacher's sect to walk the rivers and lakes like this."

"Oh?"

"Regardless of the rest, if we only talk about swords, there are only two or three sects with names in the entire rivers and lakes. Among them, Huashan Chunyang Palace is still focused on cultivating Taoism, and when it comes to casting swords, I, Hidden Sword Villa, claim to be the number one sect of sword cultivation. , I am afraid no one will refute it."

She recalled the past with the same appearance as usual, except that the smile on the corner of her lips was a little lonely, and she shook her head after talking to herself for a while, "Forget it, it's useless to talk to you."

Sikong Zhaixing didn't care, he smiled and said, "Since you can't go back for the time being, don't think about it, and if you go to the depths of the desert, you can really go back?"

"Do you know Dazhi Datong?"

This question made him pause, and his expression became weird, "Have you seen these two old men?"

"No, I just asked two questions." Ye Linghan stood up and patted the dust on his body, "Since it is said that the two of them never lie, then based on what they said, I think someone must know how I should go back. "

After much deliberation, the only expert hiding in the desert is the Jade Rakshasa of the Western Demon Cult.

But the traces of the Western Demon Cult are really hidden, and Ye Linghan, who can't find any news, is now completely blind and looking for a way in the desert. In her own words, it's good to try your luck, maybe I will go back in one day.

Regarding her theory, even Sikong Zhaoxing couldn't think of anything to refute.

"Speaking of which, we have a sect called Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, and the place where the owner of the valley lives is called Zhaixing Building."

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help sighing again, "...but I don't like that sect."

Knowing that she actually just needs an audience, Sikong Zhaixing sat aside without saying a word, listened to her praise the Valley of Flowers, then sighed several times before adding another sentence, but the person I like later met a Valley of Thousand Flowers The disciples got married.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and finally it was the proprietress who came to call her for help and brought her back to her senses.

The proprietress is quite prestigious in Longmen, and she takes good care of the caravans and the soldiers stationed at the border on weekdays, so many people always come to find her to give her something during Chinese New Year and holidays. , as someone picked up by her and then raised, Ye Linghan usually forges some self-defense weapons needed by the caravan and sells them at a low price, which can be regarded as accumulating some popularity for the proprietress.

The last time Lu Xiaofeng came here, he saw her forging weapons, so he thought of asking her for help this time.

"Linghan, just let it go. I'll clean it up later."

"Hey, by the way, what are you having for lunch?"

"You really know how to eat."

"You're hungry." Ye Linghan squatted aside after arranging the bacon, acting like a spoiled child, her golden clothes looked extraordinarily dazzling in the sun, "And I've been drinking porridge for days."

Ye Linghan doesn't like porridge, and it's probably ridiculous to say why.

She practiced sword very hard when she was a child, and she was coquettish, and often threw the sword and ran out to play when she was in the middle of her horse's stride.

And every time Ye Qi was punished to kneel, he would shamelessly dangle the hot porridge cooked by his seniors in front of him. Not lightly stimulating.

Later, Ye Qi went out of the village to practice, and she was no longer so lazy and coquettish, and her swordsmanship gradually improved, but the relationship between the two of them was still the same as before, and she would cry if she talked too much.

The proprietress loved her, so she cooked a pot of mutton for lunch, which was very refreshing in this winter.

Sikong Zhaixing didn't know where to go shortly after receiving Lu Xiaofeng's letter in the morning, she looked around the inn and couldn't find anyone, and she was a little amused, and praised the proprietress's craftsmanship together with the inn waiter.

"I also learned this from Hejiu. You have to eat the mutton made by her to know what delicious mutton is."

"Oh, is that the nineteenth they said who killed Atamu?" Ye Linghan asked with his rice in his hands.

The proprietress nodded her head, her tone still a little sad, "It's been so many years, I don't know how she is now."

Ye Linghan, who didn't know the reason and didn't know how to comfort him, hesitated for a while and decided to continue to use his strength to eat mutton.

This year has passed, which is the third year she has been in this place. I don't know if the Anshi Rebellion has been put down, if there are some new juniors and sisters in the villa, and I don't know if you can use the Youzang Sword to see the owner of the villa. Is the number of heroines from various sects still increasing?

Although I had the mentality of telling a story when I told Sikong Zhaixing, there was one sentence that was absolutely true, truer than pearls.

The West Lake without the hidden sword villa is not her home.
