[Comprehensive martial arts] Cannon fodder woman

For Jiang Xiaoyu, he has not been away from Shenshui Palace for too long, less than two years, but for Lu Xiaoman, the last time he came to Shenshui Palace in memory was indeed many years ago.

I haven't seen her for many years, even if the jellyfish Yin Ji's exercises can delay the aging of her face, she can't resist the erosion of the years, and her temples have already turned gray.Shenshui Palace is as holy and beautiful as ever, spotless.

Seeing that the two came back together, and that Jiang Xiaoyu was considerate and considerate in every way, Lu Xiaoman rolled up her hair again and dressed as a married woman. Jellyfish Yinji immediately guessed one or two.It's just that when she really learned that Jiang Xiaoyu had married into the woman's family and had been eating soft meals these days, the expression on her face was still very exciting.

"...Do you still remember that you are the descendant of Shenshui Palace?"

Her tone sounded a little dangerous, and most people might be too scared to speak at this time, but it obviously didn't apply to Jiang Xiaoyu from small to big.He wasn't frightened at all, and he still had the guts to say with a playful smile:

"No, you don't know how powerful my daughter-in-law is. Anyway, they are now a family. What's hers is mine, and what's mine is hers. Why don't we just give her this title?"

"..." Yin Ji, the jellyfish, took a deep breath, and told herself that this is the successor that was cultivated with great difficulty. If she is killed, the past ten years of effort will be in vain—you have to hold back.

"Go away! Go away and pass the test, it will be my wedding gift to you!"

With a wave of her hand, she drove the young couple out of the door out of sight and out of mind, and then Gong Nanyan took the two of them to the trial place in the back mountain.This friend has also changed from a young and beautiful girl in the past to a middle-aged woman who combs her aunt's hair and is serious. Time is really a ruthless knife.

However, although Gong Nanyan looked cold on the surface, Lu Xiaoman found that she occasionally looked at Jiang Xiaoyu with concern and warmth in her eyes. Similarly, Jiang Xiaoyu was also very relaxed in front of her. The relationship between the two Should be pretty good.It's just that for some reason, her attitude towards Lu Xiaoman is entangled and tentative, curious and defensive, it's really a bit complicated.

"How is your mother?"

As they were walking, Gong Nanyan suddenly asked a question without beginning or end.Lu Xiaoman was confused for a while, and it took him a while to realize that Gong Nanyan must have regarded her as a descendant of the "her" more than ten years ago, and couldn't help laughing slightly:

"Cough... everything is fine with her, please take care of her."

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at this and then at that, his gaze swiveled between the two of them, although he couldn't understand, but he didn't ask rashly, he just secretly grabbed Lu Xiaoman's hand and held it under Gong Nanyan's eyelids. Interlocking her fingers underneath.

He has always been enthusiastic and straightforward, and likes close physical contact, while Lu Xiaoman is more used to keeping a distance from others. After the two got married, they lived under the same roof and got along for a while.

"Auntie, what's the matter with that trial, why haven't I heard of it before?"

After walking for a while, Jiang Xiaoyu began to inquire about information. Gong Nanyan glanced at him with a half-smile, shook her head and said:

"The palace lord told me not to reveal too much. You will know the specific situation when you go."

Of course Jiang Xiaoyu refused, and pestered her for a long time to ask, but Gong Nanyan was worthy of being the "most ruthless woman" in Shenshui Palace, she was so hard-hearted that she was completely unmoved, and in the end she just said something "Those who can participate in the trials have always been the best disciples of the sect" are ambiguous words.

The three quickly walked to the back mountain, Gong Nanyan led them to a small forest, pointed to the front and said:

"Through this forest, you will see a cave, just follow the passage and go inside."

After she finished speaking, she didn't stay there, as if she was afraid that Jiang Xiaoyu would ask questions again, she turned around and left immediately.After Gong Nanyan left in a hurry, the remaining young couple looked at each other in dismay. Since they couldn't find any other way for the time being, they had no choice but to move forward.

After passing through the woods and walking a few hundred meters along the road, a cave appeared in front of it. On the left side of the cave entrance stood a large stone with the words "forbidden place" written on it.

Jiang Xiaoyu's expression was already a little ugly, but he was afraid of scaring Lu Xiaoman, so he pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile:

"It's so strange, there is something about this Shenshui Palace that I, Jiang Xiaoyu, don't know about... Madam, why don't you wait outside and go in for your husband's sake?"

"Jellyfish Yinji said this is a gift for the two of us..." Lu Xiaoman thought for a while, then shook his head briskly, "Maybe I should go in together, it doesn't matter, two people are better than one."

Having said that, Jiang Xiaoyu had no reason to object anymore, so the two finally held hands and stepped into the dark cave together.

At first it was a narrow and long passage extending downwards. After walking to the back, the terrain gradually became wider and then slowly upwards. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the two of them saw the light outside the cave.

Tao Yuanming, a poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, recorded in "Peach Blossom Spring": "When the forest runs out of water, there will be a mountain. There is a small mouth in the mountain, as if there is light... It is very narrow at the beginning, and then it is open to people. After walking for dozens of steps, it suddenly becomes clear."

The shape of this cave is just like a flat funnel, but it is somewhat similar to the mysterious "Peach Blossom Spring".

Lu Xiaoman felt that the hand holding him was tightened, but the instigator seemed to be unconscious, indicating that he might be feeling uneasy and restless at this moment, at least not as relaxed as it appeared on the surface.

"Why are you nervous?" She asked strangely, "Although this is the forbidden area of ​​Shenshui Palace, we have obtained the permission of the Palace Master before we come here. Could it be that she will deliberately harm you?"

"Ha! Of course not!" Jiang Xiaoyu laughed dryly, was silent for a moment, and then sighed again, "I know it shouldn't be like this, but I still can't help thinking wildly, I'm afraid that you will get hurt, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect you in case of danger Hello, I am afraid of accidents, afraid of many, many things... I have never had such troubles in the past, but now I seem to be a different person. I am afraid of doing things, and there are always worries of one kind or another in my mind... "He seemed a little uneasy at this point, and his tone became cautious, "Lady, do you think I'm very unmanly?"

Lu Xiaoman wanted to laugh a little, but in the end she did indeed slightly bend the corners of her lips, revealing a faint smile.

The love of young people is always warm and pure, which makes people feel happy. When you feel that passionate love, the whole person is like soaking in warm spring water, or being warmed in winter. surrounded by sunlight.

She didn't answer Jiang Xiaoyu's question directly, but instead asked:

"Do you know Ximen Chuuxue?"

"Ximen Chuuxue...is it the sword god Ximen Chuuxue?" Jiang Xiaoyu was really distracted by her, "I heard about this character when I was young, but he seems to have disappeared many years ago."

"That's right, his wife is Sun Xiuqing from the Emei School." Lu Xiaoman nodded with a smile on his face, but the words he said were not very pleasant, "After that guy married Sun Xiuqing, he felt like you had become Weak, his wife and children have become his concern, his weakness, he can no longer focus on the unity of sword and sword. So in order to pursue the supreme ruthless sword, he finally abandoned his wife and children and disappeared in a snowy day."

Jiang Xiaoyu was really stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized that the desire to survive immediately went online, and immediately accused him with righteous indignation.

"This... this big scumbag! It's too much!" He blinked his eyes quickly as he spoke, trying to make his wife feel his sincerity, "It's a good thing this kid didn't meet my brother, otherwise he would be so attractive! Hmph, the Sword God, who actually did such a morally corrupt thing, he will no longer be my idol!"

Lu Xiaoman smiled without saying a word. Although she didn't express her opinion, a smile scared Jiang Xiaoyu's heart, and she quickly swore to the sky:

"My lady, a fool would abandon his wife for such an inexplicable reason! Believe me, unless I die, I will never leave you in my life! What's the point of not being manly? Anyway, I don't pursue peerless martial arts, I don't have any lofty ambitions, it is enough to marry you as my wife in this life!"

As soon as he confessed his true feelings, he only thought about not letting his daughter-in-law misunderstand him. Unknowingly, his nervousness faded a lot, and he was no longer as upset as before.

"Very good, you can figure it out." Lu Xiaoman smiled, hiding his merit and fame, "In my opinion, whether a man is manly depends on whether he has the responsibility of a man. If he can't even care for his wife If you can’t do it, why talk about anything else?”

"Very, very, my lady is right!" He patted his chest and boasted, "I, Jiang Xiaoyu, am the most responsible!"

At this time, the two had walked out of the long tunnel and came to a valley. The scenery here was beautiful and the fragrance of flowers was pleasant. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a "forbidden place" full of dangers and taboos.

The valley is not big, and the scenery is clear at a glance. Except for wild flowers and weeds everywhere, there is only a lonely altar standing among the flowers not far away.The altar has been left unattended for a long time, unable to withstand the erosion of wind and rain, the bricks in some places have peeled off, and the edges are covered with moss.

Jiang Xiaoyu clenched his wife's hand, let out a breath, and only spoke when he was mentally prepared:

"Come on, let's go and have a look."

The mechanism on the altar was fairly simple, and the two quickly opened the tunnel entrance, walked down the steps, and gradually revealed the entire underground palace in front of their eyes.The light in the underground palace is not dim, and there are water-blue beads embedded on both sides of the walls and on the top. The beads are not as bright as night pearls, but they also emit a faint gleam.

As soon as the two stepped down the last step, the stone slab above their heads closed automatically. Lu Xiaoman took out a torch and blew it on. The flames trembled slightly and swayed from side to side, indicating that the air in the underground palace was circulating. There must be other places besides the top. They felt relieved and continued to explore.

Further inside is a water pool, in the center of which stands a humanoid statue, it is a woman stepping on the waves, her eyes are looking straight ahead, with a faint smile on her face, her two jade arms are crossed across her chest, making a mysterious figure. Youxuan gesture.

"Ah, this should be the patriarch grandma of our Shenshui Palace. I have seen her portrait before."

Seeing this statue, Jiang Xiaoyu was a little surprised at first, but then he reacted and quickly explained to Lu Xiaoman.

Lu Xiaoman didn't answer, but observed the appearance of "Grandma Grandma", and suddenly said:

"There seems to be something under the water."

Both hands of the statue are twisted into orchid fingers, the right hand is inside and the left hand is outside, but the little finger of the left hand is not upturned, but bent down, pointing to the bottom of the pool, which looks very weird.

Jiang Xiaoyu took off his coat, nimbly got into the water, and after a while, he took out an oilcloth bag from directly under the statue.He threw the thing ashore, turned back to the statue, and followed Lu Xiaoman's instructions to snap the little finger of "Grandma Grandma" back to its original position. The next second, there was a sound of "Boom Boom Boom" in the underground palace. A stone door opened.

The two left the underground palace along the passage, during which Lu Xiaoman opened the oilcloth bag and found a secret book called "Shenshui Treasure" inside.She flipped through it briefly, and the beginning of the chapter was the refining method of "Tianyi Shenshui", and the latter also recorded the martial arts key of the internal force "Tianshui Divine Art" and the palm technique "surging like a tide".

Jiang Xiaoyu was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help being moved:

"This is an ancient book passed down from generation to generation in Shenshui Palace. It is said that only the owner of the palace is eligible to borrow it. I didn't expect the owner of the palace to pass it on to me..."

When he was young, he was taken care of by a woman named "Aunt Xuan". Later, Aunt Xuan died of illness, and he followed the jellyfish Yin Ji. The two could indeed be counted as mother and son in name, but he never called When the other party called "Mother", the jellyfish Yin Ji was also lukewarm to him.So before this, even though he had been occupying the status of "Heir of Shenshui Palace", he had never thought that Yin Ji, the jellyfish, would really pass on the position of Palace Master to him.

"She really treats you very well." Lu Xiaoman was also sincerely happy for him, and joked by the way, "Are you worried that you will be bullied by me as a son-in-law, so you are specially given this offer?" Great gift?"

Jiang Xiaoyu also laughed: "Is the lady's bullying counted as bullying? For the sake of my husband..."

As he spoke, he approached Lu Xiaoman affectionately. Seeing that a kiss was about to land on the side of Lu Xiaoman's face, a loud coughing sound suddenly sounded in front of him.

Gong Nanyan, who interrupted the two of them like a dean catching a puppy love, said with a straight face:

"The palace lord sees you."

……

Xu Shi was touched. The first time he saw the jellyfish Yin Ji, Jiang Xiaoyu rushed up to express his feelings:

"Mother! You will be my real mother from now on! Don't worry, my child will be filial to you in the future!"

Jellyfish Yin Ji: "..."

Where is the brat, get out of here!

It has to be said that this woman with a fierce reputation in the arena does have a trait of being cold on the outside and hot on the inside. She looks disgusted on the surface, but there is a bright smile on the corners of her brows and eyes.At this moment, she is no longer a martial arts master who is alone in the world, but an ordinary mother who shows tenderness and love to her children.

Jiang Xiaoyu's lost maternal love was found in another person, and this person once lost a daughter.They fill each other's vacancies, and their fate is always cruel and full of warmth.

Lu Xiaoman stood by and watched all this quietly. The scenes that happened in Shenshui Palace many years ago flashed quickly, and gradually overlapped with the scene in front of him.The trajectory of life is mysterious and magical, and everything seems to have traces to follow.

Later, Jiang Xiaoyu asked her: "My lady, Aunt Yan said that I met your mother when I was young, and she even hugged me! Did she betroth us since we were young? Then count the two of us in this way." But a match made in heaven!"

Lu Xiaoman: "...Your Aunt Yan was wrong."

"Really?" Jiang Xiaoyu entangled her stickily again, "Then why did I feel that you were kind when we first met? Isn't this the predestined fate between you and me?"

Lu Xiaoman was forced to be intimate with him for a while, with a look of lovelessness on his face:

"...Really? Maybe it's a sinful fate."

At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu has become the lord of Shenshui Palace, and has become a hot "big shot" in the world, but when he gets along with his wife in private, he still loves to act coquettishly, like a child who hasn't grown up. of.The two played around for a while, and he took out a hosta hairpin from nowhere, and carefully placed it in his wife's hair.

"Do you like it? I carved it myself."

Lu Xiaoman smiled at him, with a faint blush on his face, like a delicate crabapple flower.

Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly recalled that he once picked up a wounded bird when he was a child.The bird was pure white, and its posture was elegant and beautiful when combing its feathers. He regarded it as a treasure, not only feeding it, healing its wounds, but also taking care of it from time to time.Once, I met the jellyfish Yin Ji in the corridor. The always taciturn Yin Ji saw the little bird he was holding in the palm of her hand, and said for the first time:

"You should keep it in a cage, or it will fly away one day."

Later, the bird recovered from its injury and flew away. He was very sad. In order to make him happy, the aunts found many beautiful birds, some with beautiful feathers and some with melodious calls, but he didn't like them all because These were not his ones.

After so many years, Jiang Xiaoyu's memory of that incident has gradually faded away, but now, holding another "treasure" in his arms, it seems that the words of jellyfish Yin Ji sounded in his ears——

"You should put him in a cage, otherwise he will fly away one day."

"I won't lock her in a cage," Jiang Xiaoyu thought, "I want to treat her very well, so that she can never leave here."
