Cultivating Immortals in Martial Arts

"Say!!! What is the shady relationship between you and that Xie Daoyun?"

Ji Che frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Xia Houxun stared at him and said, "Didn't you pick up Xie Daoyun with Xie Yao on purpose a few days ago, and you didn't take me with you!!!"

Looking at his angry look, Ji Che said helplessly, "Xie Yao and I didn't make a special trip to pick her up when we went to Kuaiji, but when we came back, it happened that she was also coming to Jiankang, so I brought him back along the way." After finishing speaking, Ji Che He opened the cabinet behind him.

Xia Houxun was not comforted by this explanation at all, he pressed on: "There is something between you and Xie Yao that can't be resolved in Jiankang and you still have to go to Kuaiji, and you didn't take me with you after two days, could it be that you secretly met behind my back? "

Ji Che turned around and looked at him, holding a long piano bag in his hand, looked at him and said seriously: "I don't like him, and if I want to meet, I will meet you."

After speaking, he handed the piano bag to Xia Houxun and said, "Look, do you like it?"

Xia Houxun blushed a little at what he said, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the piano, opened the piano bag, and saw a black piano, the strings on it exuded a black luster, and the body of the piano exuded a faint woody fragrance. He liked it very much at first glance, he raised his head and was so happy: "Give it to me?"

Ji Che nodded and said, "Of course it's for you, do you like it?"

Xia Houxun touched the piano, his eyes lit up and said: "I like it, I like it, Archer, I like it so much."

Seeing that he liked the qin very much, Ji Che felt very happy in his heart. Seeing that he doubted himself just now, he said, "Xie Yao said that there is a qin maker next to Shanxi who is a descendant of Lu Ban. He is very good. He can not only make Qin is also proficient in machine skills. I promised to build you a Qin last time in Luoyang, so I asked Xie Yao to take me to him and asked him to make this Qin for you. Look—” He put his hand on the The side of the piano was pressed, and dozens of black strings flew out of it. There were small awls on the strings, which were sharp tools for sealing the throat when blood was seen. "These black silk threads are the silk spit out by the black silkworm king. The silk is wrapped with extremely thin silver threads, so it is very tough. The strings made of it are very clear in color. The body of the piano is made of ebony, which is very tough and resistant to falling. , very suitable as a weapon."

Although Ji Che said it lightly, Xia Houxun knew that such tough ebony must be ancient ebony that had been burned by a fierce fire. Such wood is hard to find, and black silk is even more rare. Chance, the descendant of Lu Ban who he said lived in the Shan family was named Lu Ming. This person has a very weird temper. It must be more difficult for him to make such a thing in just two days.

Thinking of this, Xia Houxun suddenly felt uneasy, and said, "Archer, that Lu Ming has a weird temperament, and he won't easily open a furnace to refine weapons for others. What did you promise him?"

Seeing his nervous expression, Ji Che smiled and patted his head to reassure him, and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious, just promise to do him a small favor. Opponent, those things that master left behind are the wealth that everyone is chasing, what else in this world can hinder me?"

Xia Houxun: "..." Although what he said is the truth, but Archer, can we stop taking it for granted?But when he said this, Xia Houxun was not so worried.

Xia Houxun happily touched his new weapon, raised his head and asked Ji Che, "Does it have a name?"

Ji Che said, "Of course you named your weapon yourself."

Ji Che's qin is called Pianyu, and they are a pair, so naturally their qin should also be a pair. Xia Houxun thought for a long time, and finally named his qin Qiongju.

Vote me to papaya, and repay it to Qiongju.Bandit newspapers are also good!

Since having the piano, Xia Houxun's cultivation has become more handy, and he has successfully reached the eighth level. Now his inner demon power can be transformed into a solid body, turning into a black snake emitting black energy. Perhaps it is because of the cultivation method As for the question, his face is even paler now, and there is a hint of mysterious prey in his youthful slenderness.

On this day, Xia Houjue sent someone to look for Xia Houxun, hoping that he could come to the palace for a gathering. In order to avoid suspicion, A Jue was fine on weekdays and would not send someone to Xie's mansion to look for him. There must be some news this time.

So he went into the palace alone to meet Xia Houjue. Right now Sima Yao was surrounded by his younger brother Sima Daozi and Xia Houjue. Handing over the management to his younger brother Sima Daozi, and handing over the management of the intelligence agency Chaosheng Mansion around him to Xia Houjue, shows the trust in him.

But what puzzled Xia Houxun was that when he first came to the Southern Dynasty, the aristocratic family in the Southern Dynasty actually gave Xiahou Jue an olive branch, but he refused and chose Sima Yao who had no power in his hands.Although Sima Yao now seems to be well versed in the way of the emperor, he is not a hero of the emperor, and the power of the family is deeply rooted in the Southern Dynasty. Why did Xia Houjue choose Sima Yao instead of the family to take a shortcut?Even if he wanted to have greater development in the officialdom of the Southern Dynasties, choosing an aristocratic family is much better than choosing the royal family. I really don't know what A Jue thinks.

Both Qin and Jin knew that Qi Weihou was a staunch royalist. Although he was very close to the family on the scene, he rarely visited his family in private. During the days when Xia Houxun lived in Xie's house, A Jue always directly Tell him to go to the palace, and never come to Xie's house to see him once.

Sure enough, Xia Houjue had important news to tell him. He had just met Xia Houjue, and Xia Houjue told him that the Northern Dynasty was going to make a new move. thing.

After hearing this, Xia Houxun said: "Now all the fragments of the mirage map have appeared. If the north and the south agree this time, then the treasure will be opened, and your secret will definitely be discovered by then. Let's take you away first, let's go to southern Xinjiang to hide first." Xia Houxun was talking about Xia Houjue pretending to be Cao's family.This time when the Northern Dynasty proposed to negotiate, they were naturally sure that the Southern Dynasty would agree. They were probably most concerned about A Jue's identity as a descendant of the Cao family. If A Jue was found to be a counterfeit, his life might be in danger.

Xia Houjue heard that when he heard about the negotiation, the first thing he thought of was his own safety, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Suddenly, he thought of what he was going to do to A Tan now, and he couldn't help but feel guilty. He just wanted to achieve a big event, so how could he not make sacrifices? ?

A strange smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Isn't it that I'm not from the Cao family? Your Majesty already knew about it."

Xia Houxun said: "Then what did he say?"

Xia Houjue slowly poured tea for Xia Houxun, saying: "Now that the family is pressing hard, he can only rely on me."

Sima Yao knew about Xia Houjue's identity, but he didn't even mean to blame him at all. This shows that the benefits Xiahou Jue can bring to Sima Yao now are far higher than him as the key to the mirage map, so what can A Jue bring to Sima Yao? what?

Xia Houxun wanted to ask directly, but he didn't ask in the end. When A Jue was in Jinyang, he was very strong. After the destruction of Baima Villa, he was even more afraid that others would look down on him. If he stayed, maybe A Jue would be paranoid, so he suppressed his doubts and convinced himself that it might really be A Jue's ability to conquer Sima Yao.

Xia Houxun frowned and said, "Sima Yao doesn't mind, but if the Northern Dynasty finds out that you are not the key to the mirage map, I'm afraid they will take their anger out on you."

Xia Houjue said: "Don't worry, I'll do whatever I want. Ah Tan, how's your martial arts? You have to protect me when the time comes. I don't trust anyone else."

Xia Houxun said: "That's natural, I can't do it and Archer is still there, let him protect you." Speaking of Archer, Xia Houxun suddenly felt impulsive, and wanted to tell Xia Houjue about his friendship with Archer, but changed his mind. Thinking about it, although the matter of cutting off sleeves is not so weird now, after all, it is always morally unacceptable for a man not to pass on the family line. Besides, A Jue is his brother, so I naturally hope that he can have the happiness of his children and grandchildren. If he knew it at this juncture, whether he could accept it or not would be another question, but if it made him worry about himself, it would be bad, so he held back and didn't say anything.

Xia Houjue noticed it, and asked, "A Tan, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Xiahou Xunyao nodded and said, "You have to pay attention to your own safety."

Seeing that he avoided talking about it, Xia Houjue's eyes dimmed, and he nodded, "I will pay attention."

After a while, the manager next to Sima Yao came to Xia Houjue, saying that His Majesty invited him.

Xia Houjue originally wanted Xia Houxun to stay for dinner, but the emperor did not know when he would be able to return, so Xia Houxun went back.

When I was out of the palace, I met Xie Yao. Xia Houxun came on horseback, and Xie Yao came in a carriage. Xie Yao invited him to ride in the carriage, so he handed the horse to a servant, and they rode in the carriage with Xie Yao. I went home.

On the way, Xie Yao suddenly said: "A Tan, are you and Brother Ji together?"

Seeing Xia Houxun's shocked expression, Xie Yao said, "Relax, I won't tell others. Last time we went to Kuaiji to find a piano for you, Mr. Ji asked me some emotional questions by accident. Guess the person who troubled him was you, that night when I heard Brother Ji playing Phoenix and Qiuhuang, I thought he had shown his heart to you, so are you together?"

It turned out that Xie Yao pushed Archer, Xia Houxun hurriedly thanked him, "Brother, thank you so much!"

Xie Yao curled her lips and said, "It's not sincere to thank me like this."

Xia Houxun then said, "How are you doing?"

Xie Yao said: "Please invite me to eat delicious food, I want to have a big meal at Zuixianlou,"

Xia Houxun said: "Okay, it's better to hit the sun than choose the day, call Ah Xuan and Archer to go together!"

Xie Yao said: "Good!"

The two of them walked towards Xie's mansion, suddenly Xia Houxun's face changed, and he said to Xie Yao: "I won't eat today, I suddenly remembered that I have something to go back to the palace, you should go home first."

Just as Xie Yao was about to complain about his injustice, Xia Houxun had already slipped out of the carriage. After he got out of the carriage, he slapped the horse's butt hard, and the horse took the carriage and galloped away.

Xie Yao stared at Xia Houxun, Xia Houxun smiled and waved at him.After Xie Yao disappeared from his sight, he turned around and flew into an alley, snorting coldly: "Don't hide, come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of white masked men quietly surrounded him.
