lead fades away

Qingshi's retreat lasted for seven days, and immediately after leaving the retreat, he was busy with various preparations for the Elder's Hall. He selected a few familiar and reassuring servants from the steward's hall, and put the elders first. The several main halls of the hall were completely furnished, and then eight disciples of the Qi refining period were appointed to take turns in the hall, and he continued to repair the valley with those handymen, turning the entire valley into Han Shuo's territory. .

Qingshi once wanted Han Shuo to name this valley, but Han Shuo refused on the grounds that "this place has been unknown for a long time, and the master didn't name it back then, so why should I bother."Turning around to ask Wangshuo, he was told that this place was not a valley when its owner was there, but there were two mountain peaks in the middle.It's just that when it was in the void of the Wuxia Wonderland, its owner felt that the space was empty, so he moved the two peaks in front of the cave into it, so that the current "valley" appeared-naturally, there would be no Names related to valleys.

After a lot of tossing around, there was no result, and I didn’t even bother to ask others for instructions. When I needed to use the place name again, I simply told it with no name: "This valley has no name, so it is called Wuming Valley!"

Seeing that the tenth day of February is approaching, the day of opening the valley and closing the sword is just around the corner.Qing Shi felt that his cultivation was not enough, he couldn't control the scene when he drew his sword, and was easily questioned by others, so he had to find someone with advanced cultivation to sit on the scene.But Han Shuo definitely wouldn't have the patience to take away the sword with him, otherwise he wouldn't agree to use his method to save time and effort. After much deliberation, the only suitable candidate is Han Shuo's nominal elder hall deacon Yu looking forward.

Qing Shi greeted Han Shuo immediately, and set off to the first peak to arrest him.

But when he reached the first peak, Qingshi didn't go directly to the ground fire room of Qitang to look for Yu Wang, but issued Zhang Chuan Yinfu and called Shen Chenzhou out.

"You kid still remember to look for me! I thought you were going to break up with me, and I could save a top-grade spirit stone!" Shen Chenzhou soon came to Qingshi, and gave him a supercilious look when they met.

"Go away, I've been so busy recently, I haven't been there with my aunt, so I can't care about you." Qing Shi also gave him a pair of white eyes.

"I heard that you are in charge of Elder Han's mundane affairs, and you have gained more power." Shen Chenzhou joked.

"Bullshit power, it's all about serving people. When you guys pass by, I have to continue serving you." Qing Shi snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, is the sword you want to give ready?"

"Ah? We also want to send the sword over?!" Shen Chenzhou was taken aback.

"Don't tell me you haven't even prepared a sword yet." Qing Shi stared fiercely.

"The sword must be ready, but..." Shen Chenzhou hesitated for a moment, looked around a few times, and asked Qingshi in a low voice, "Brother, let me give you some news, why is Elder Han doing such a selection?" What do you mean? What kind of sword does he want to see?"

"You just obediently send the sword over, don't ask about the extras." Qing Shi pouted, and quickly added, "What kind of sword is not important, the important thing is - it must belong to 'you' sword!"

Shen Chenzhou was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head and began to think.

Qingshi didn't have time to wait for him to think clearly, so he knocked his head on it directly, "You can think about it slowly after I'm gone, and hurry up to talk about serious things first."

"Serious things? You can still have serious business with me? Don't you want to sell something again?" Shen Chenzhou asked in feigned surprise.

"I'm not Yu Wang, how can there be so many trash!" Qing Shi rolled his eyes, "Seriously, during the Chinese New Year, I asked you to pay attention to who Su Fang was close to in private, did you follow suit?"

"Do you dare not do what you ordered?" Shen Chenzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Don't say it, I really found something interesting."

"Stop going around in circles, hurry up and talk." Qing Shi gave him a sideways look.

Shen Chenzhou immediately clung to Qingshi's ear and whispered a name.

Qing Shi couldn't help being taken aback, "It turned out to be him?"

"Unexpectedly?" Shen Chenzhou raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I have inquired quietly, and no one knows the relationship between the two of them, and it is very well concealed."

"It's only because everyone didn't expect it. If you really want to investigate, there's nothing you can't hide." Qing Shi curled his lips, and quickly frowned again, "No, if it's just because of this relationship, He wouldn't be afraid of being like that... only that one, no second or third?"

Shen Chenzhou's head was full of black lines immediately, "What are you thinking about, no matter how bad Su Fang's character is, he is still a foundation-building cultivator, how could he be like a bitch..."

"Do you know Su Fang's background?" Qing Shi interrupted.

"It's nothing special, my parents are both outer disciples of my Xiantrumen, and my ancestors' family background is also very ordinary." Shen Chenzhou replied, "Don't look at me like that, you reminded me so much, how could I not investigate. "

"Has he provoked you again recently?" Qing Shi asked instead.

"It's not, and it's back to the previous state of hiding when it sees me." Shen Chenzhou shook his head.

"It seems that I was scared enough." Qing Shi touched his chin and pondered.

"If you want me to say, don't waste your energy on him, it's not worth it." Shen Chenzhou persuaded again, "He has no background and no backer, even if he has that kind of relationship with Ximen Hao, what kind of disturbance can he cause? Ximen Hao himself is just a disciple of the head of the sect."

"Hehe." Qingshi laughed casually twice, and declined to comment.The name that Shen Shenzhou whispered in his ear just now was Ximen Hao. It was surprising at first, but when I thought about it from another angle, I felt that the two were really a good match.However, in the eyes of female cultivators, Ximen Hao has always been like a wishful man. If they knew that the lover of their dreams actually liked men, how would they feel?

"I just can't figure it out, why do you dislike him?" Seeing Qingshi's appearance that he obviously didn't intend to let go, Shen Chenzhou couldn't help but sighed.

"What you said is absolutely right, I just don't like him." Qing Shi smiled lightly, "Okay, I'll listen to your persuasion once, and let's stop this matter for now——Yu Wang didn't go out, I'm here to find him of."

"Go directly to the fire room to find it. Anyway, I haven't heard that he has gone out." Shen Chenzhou said, "By the way, this is for you."

Shen Chenzhou took out a crystal clear high-grade spirit stone and stuffed it into Qing Shi's hand.

"Yo, are you really paying it back?" Qingshi unceremoniously took the Lingshi over.

"The New Year's money rewarded by the master." Shen Chenzhou said with great heartache, "This year's gift is a big loss."

"If I ask you to recover the interest, you will really lose a lot. You just haven't made any money right now!" Qing Shi gave Shen Chenzhou a blank look, put away the Lingshi, turned and walked towards Qitang.

Although Qingshi promised Shen Chenzhou that he was willing to give up on Su Fang's matter for the time being, but it was only for the time being - one month is for the time being, and one day is also for the time being - anyway, he has no time to find out what this person is hiding. If you are not thinking about it, then let him go "for now", and continue when he has time and energy.

Saying goodbye to Shen Shenzhou, Qingshi went straight to the Qi Hall, and sure enough, he caught Yu Wang refining a new spiritual weapon in an underground fire room.

Yu Wang who was disturbed was naturally very unhappy, but he not only owed Qing Shi Lingshi but also owed favors, so he could only reluctantly take out the half-refined spirit weapon from the furnace, honestly Really get up and leave with Qingshi.

But when Qing Shi came to the Elder's Hall in Wuming Valley and found that he was actually arranged to live in the largest and best main hall in the apse, Yu Wang panicked.

"How can I live here, this should be Elder Han's residence." Yu Wang said nervously.

"Elder Han's cave is over there, how could he take the trouble to live in the Elder's Hall." Qing Shi waved his hand disapprovingly, "You can live if you are told, what are you worrying about!"

"But……"

"No, but." Qingshi said with a straight face, "The Hall of Elders will hold a grand opening ceremony at the beginning of next month, and you, the deacon of the Hall of Elders, should probably pack up and move in here, Elder Han can say, you deacon You can't be a white-collar worker who doesn't work, right?"

Yu Wang was helpless, so he just broke the jar and ruthlessly said, "Okay, anyway, I've sold my life to you, and you can arrange it as you like."

"Don't worry, I won't resell you again." Qing Shi comforted me unconvincingly, "I'll make do with it today, and after these three days of busy work are over, you can go back and move - the cave on the first peak. Don't keep it, the aura here is much richer than your cave on the first peak."

"Is there an underground fire room here?" Yu Wang asked habitually.

"At present there is no—" Qingshi thought of the two earth fire pits in Han Shuo's cave. Although Yu Wang must not be allowed to occupy Han Shuo's training place, since there is an earth fire pit, it means that the earth fire can be drawn here, so Then he raised his head and said, "Here should be able to draw out the ground fire. I will discuss with Elder Han to see if we can get you a ground fire room."

"That couldn't be better!" Yu Wang's eyes lit up, and he laughed happily.

"It will definitely make your life more comfortable and comfortable than in the first peak." Qing Shi also promised with a smile, but secretly thought of another thing in his heart.

Qingshi really doesn't like getting up early. On the tenth day of the lunar new year, he came out of Han Shuo's cave when the sun was three poles high. He went to the back hall of the Elder's Hall to call Yu Wang, and brought two more on-duty Qi-refining periods. Disciples fill the scene.Qingshi didn't use the vacant room in the Elder's Hall, and directly set up tables and chairs in the open space in the middle of the valley, and then signaled to the disciples guarding the valley to let them go and withdraw their swords.

There are golden core stage monks sitting on the spot, and the Supreme Elder who decides the result of this selection lives next to him, so the disciples who came to give the sword are basically honest, and each of them took out the identity jade card for Qingshi to check. Then he put the identity jade badge and the sword he brought into the paper box provided by Qing Shi, and handed it to Yu Wang next to him to put it into the storage bag.

In fact, there are not many sword cultivators in Xianchumen, but the notice posted by Qingshi Rang Guanshitang did not restrict those who came to the sword cultivating skills, so many people just searched for it with the attitude of giving it a try. Bring the sword over.But he didn't even care about identification, he would accept it if someone gave it to him, and Han Shuo would take care of the rest, as long as he ensured that no disciples from the Qi refining period would get involved, the task would be considered complete.

Since Qing Shi didn't know what to expect, the speed was naturally very fast. The crowd that had accumulated due to Qing Shi's late waking up disappeared into the valley not long after, and Qing Shi and Yu Wang were soon free to sit and drink tea together Kill time.

Actually, this place is not suitable for gossip, but Yu Wang is not a person who talks about "gossip" in the first place, he is only interested in refining weapons, even if he chats with people, he always talks about refining things.Although Qing Shi is not as specialized in refining tools as Yu Wang, he has rich knowledge and a wider vision than Yu Wang. He can understand what Yu Wang said, and what he said can also bring new inspiration and ideas to Yu Wang .It was because of this that the two gradually became acquainted at first, but because Yu Wang was too focused on refining weapons, and there was a little fish tail who guarded against him and had unpredictable thoughts by his side, the relationship between Qing Shi and him was always stuck. At a certain critical point—although he was better than ordinary friends, but not as close as Shen Chenzhou.

The morning passed quickly, and nothing special happened except for driving away a few Qi Refining disciples who wanted to fish in troubled waters.But in the afternoon, the number of disciples who came to deliver the sword became more and more rare, scattered, almost counting in rounds.

But just when Qingshi was about to close the stall and come back tomorrow, a Jindan cultivator suddenly appeared in the valley, holding a long sword in his hand, and approached Qingshi and Yu Wang.

"Gu Xianxian's disciple, Yang Pingjin, came to deliver the sword." The handsome and well-built Jindan cultivator took the initiative to report his name and purpose, and handed over his jade badge.

Yu Wang never expected that there would be a Golden Core cultivator with a higher cultivation base than himself to give the sword, so he was a little dazed immediately.Qing Shi was calm, and took the identity jade card from Yang Pingjin with a normal expression, checked it carefully, then took the long sword in his hand, put it into a paper box together with the jade card, and passed it on Give me hope.Yu Wang was stunned for a moment before reaching out to take it, and then remembered that he was just a decoration for the town, so he quickly calmed down, and put the paper box into the storage bag according to the pre-set rules.

"Please go back and wait for the news." Qingshi said to Yang Pingjin who was still standing in front of the table.The attitude is not respectful, but there is nothing rude about it.

"Does it have to be on the [-]th?" Yang Pingjin asked with a smile.

"Are you asking me?" Qing Shi chuckled lightly, raised her eyebrows and asked back.

"Did I ask the wrong person?" Yang Pingjin continued to ask with great interest.

Qing Shi was not interested in being teased by him like a spirit beast, and immediately turned cold, and said indifferently, "Could it be that I gave the result?"

Yang Pingjin didn't seem to expect that Qingshi would turn against him, so he couldn't help being startled.

Before he could speak again, Qing Shi started to push people away in an even more impolite tone, "If Yang Daojun is fine, please leave as soon as possible, don't interfere with our work."

Speaking of this, Yang Pingjin can only turn his face or leave.But although Yang Pingjin is Gu Xian's apprentice, the relationship between Gu Xian and Han Shuo has always been delicate. Although they don't turn against each other, they are definitely not close. At least Yang Pingjin has never seen Han Shuo have "respect" for Gu Xian. One said.In this way, the possible consequences of falling out with the popular people around Han Shuo on Han Shuo's territory are really immeasurable, and Yang Pingjin is not a young and energetic low-level disciple, so the so-called choice is actually only one. .

"I'm sorry." Yang Pingjin forced a smile and bowed his hands to Qing Shi and Yu Wang, and turned to leave the valley.

Seeing his figure disappearing out of the valley, Yu Wang heaved a sigh of relief, turned around, and looked at Qingshi with a strange expression, "He is a Jindan cultivator, and he is also Gu Xianxian's apprentice—you don't know Gu Xianxian What is the relationship between Jun and Zhenjun Han Shuo?"

"A master." Qing Shi curled his lips and said, "Okay, don't talk too much, I know what's going on."

Of course Qingshi knew the relationship between Gu Xian and Han Shuo, and because of knowing, Yang Pingjin did not dare to act wildly in front of him.

——Ghosts believe that he came to learn swords!

Comparing my heart to my heart, I don't even think that a monk with a cave, a teacher and a cultivation base who is already at the middle stage of Jindan will come to compete with a group of juniors at the foundation stage for a place in the temple because of studious, modesty and other high-sounding reasons.If he really wanted to study, he would just pay a visit directly, not to mention that he was Han Shuo's nephew, even an ordinary descendant of the Xianchu sect, Han Shuo would not be able to reject him without asking why.But he chose to stay away from the near and far, and insisted on putting the private matter on the table. If there was no other intention in it, who would believe it? !

But these words, lightly, would not be said to Yu Wang, firstly, he might not understand, and secondly, he didn't want to add pressure to him.Just now he deliberately drove Yang Pingjin away in a high-profile way, just because he didn't want Yang Pingjin to have the opportunity to confront Yu Wang - he could bully others without caring about the consequences, but Yu Wang couldn't do it, Yu Wang didn't have that kind of face, let alone that The ability to have the courage—maybe he does have the guts, but it's just stupid and bold!

Qing Shi curled his lips, and no longer wasted time here, he waved his hands to pack up the tables and chairs, and told the on-duty disciples guarding the valley not to let them go, and even if there were people who came to deliver the sword, let them come back tomorrow, and then pushed Yu Wang back While resting in the elder hall, I took the storage bag from his hand and went back to Han Shuo's cave.

In fact, Han Shuo saw clearly what happened in the valley from the cave, but when he saw Qingshi came back, he still asked, "Why did Yang Pingjin come here?"

"First, go to your Elder Hall as a disciple and learn swords from you. Second, I like the position of deacon in your Elder Hall, so I want to squeeze Yu Wang away and replace him. Third, Gu Xianxian ordered him to come, but he can't do it. No." Qingshi listed three reasons in one breath, then threw the storage bag in Han Shuo's arms, and continued, "You can choose whichever answer you think is suitable."
