[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

Night gradually enveloped the valley where the Black Witches lived, and gradually penetrated into this small main room. In the darkness, only the girl's eyes looking at the sky were so bright, with a hint of melancholy in the clarity. This girl who grew up in the White Witches The girl who has been doted on all the time seems to have really learned some worldly skills since this day, and has grown up rapidly.

Xuan Zhen withdrew his gaze. He came to Southern Border just to retrieve his memory, but he never thought that such a piece of the past would be pulled out.Li Qianhe... He stroked the pattern on the wooden knife where the woman's name was vaguely engraved, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

After a long time, I don't know who sighed first in the dim room.

Only Zixuan asked softly: "Brother Xuanzhen, you...have you ever remembered what you said about the dead face today?"

Xuan Zhen shook his head and said sadly, "I still can't remember anything."

Zixuan seemed to be affected by his low mood, and said with frustration: "Oh, what should I do?" After a while, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly said happily, "Ah, yes, Brother Xuanzhen, Because it is related to your memory, I asked Dead Face a few more questions. He said that he killed the villain Li Shana in a mountain outside the city, and there was a big lake on the other side of the city. When his companion flew over it, he saw that the lake was shaped like a bird's nest, which was quite strange, so he had some impressions... We might as well look for that lake, maybe we can find some clues there!"

Xuan Zhen was taken aback, he never expected that the girl who had only known each other for two or three days would do so many things for him, he couldn't help feeling a little more grateful in his heart, and was about to say a few words of thanks when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, remembering that he had been there From the county town where I stayed for one night near Huangshan Mountain, Shouyang City is just on the northwest side of the mountain. Although I have never been to the east side, I have heard that there is a Chaohu Lake... Chaohu Lake, is it a lake shaped like a bird's nest? Is it referring to it?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lift up his spirits, the corners of his lips slightly curled up into a smile, swept away the previous depression, and said relaxedly: "Zixuan, thank you very much. Alright, I will leave Nanjiang tomorrow and go to that place. Take a look at Chaohu Lake."

"Huh, Chaohu Lake? Could it be that Brother Xuanzhen already knows where the place Dead Face mentioned is?" Zixuan froze for a moment, and immediately became happy for him, "That's great, let's go together tomorrow!"

Xuan Zhen froze when he heard the phrase "we", frowned, and said in surprise: "You want to go too?" Feeling that the petite figure beside him moved as if to say something, he was afraid that this weird The girl's eloquence made him speechless, so he hurriedly said, "No. You are a girl, you are so young, and Chaohu Lake is far away in the Central Plains. Besides, you ran away from home privately. How could I take you away without authorization?" Going to such a far place will teach your mother-in-law to worry for nothing?"

Zixuan was dissatisfied and said, "Why can't I go? Huh, I know, you think I can't fly, and I'm afraid it will drag you down. They have helped you so much, and they rescued you from the poisonous miasma, and brought you You went to the Black Witch Clan and asked you so many things for you, now you don’t need me, so you won’t take me to play. You Central Plains people are really cunning, you can’t believe what you said!” Jiao snorted a few times Afterwards, it wasn't enough, so he simply jumped up from the chair and stomped his feet, Xuan Zhen couldn't help shaking his head.

After finally coaxing the little girl back, Xuan Zhen smiled wryly and said: "I just refused, and you just said so much, why don't you just keep talking? What's more, when did I promise to take you to the Central Plains? How can I say yes?" Untrustworthy?"

Unexpectedly, when Zixuan heard this, she became more confident, and snorted: "You said you didn't promise? Then do you still remember that you promised me one thing before?"

Xuan Zhen was taken aback for a moment, but then he remembered the promise made a few days ago, and he was speechless. How could he expect that a word that he just agreed to at that time would become Zi Xuan's weapon to hold him back?I can only sigh in my heart, women in the world are really cunning and clever, even a little savage woman in southern Xinjiang should not be underestimated.

Seeing his tongue-tied appearance, Zixuan raised her head higher and higher, and said with her nostrils upturned: "What else do you have to say?" A smug look flashed in her big water eyes as she spoke.

Xuan Zhen naturally had nothing to say, so he nodded helplessly, even though he knew in his heart that this matter was very bad, he had no choice but to let Zixuan succeed.On the other hand, Zixuan, a little girl, just a few words forced him to agree to take her to the Central Plains. She was so happy that she couldn't restrain herself. She had already jumped and jumped out of the door, shedding many silver bell-like smiles along the way. Voice.Even if the helpless sigh behind her was heard by her, it might have fallen on deaf ears.

That night, Xuanzhen and Zixuan stayed at Li Qianguan's house.Early in the morning of the second day, Xuan Zhen bid farewell to Li Qianguan, and the great witch Zhu of the Black Witch Clan did not keep him, but when he learned that Zixuan was also going to the Central Plains together, he couldn't help but look worried, and looked at him full of tears. disagree.It's just that the promise came first, so Xuan Zhen had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn a blind eye to the cold eyes of the big witch Zhu.

In this way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight all the way, and he left southern Xinjiang in only three or four days.The kung fu practiced by Zixuan is the secret technique of southern border. Although it has not reached the realm of imperial objects, it can be said to be as light as a swallow, so standing on the spring water is not too burdensome.Xuan Zhen gave her intermittent instructions on how to maintain balance at high altitudes, etc. Zixuan was really clever, and she could understand it while listening, but after a few hours, she could no longer rely on Xuan Zhen's power. Standing firmly on the sword, you don't even need to deliberately focus on your feet, and you can take the time to talk and laugh with Xuan Zhen, so as to relieve the loneliness of the journey.As for the man who controls the sword, if he just listens to her talking and laughing and forgets to concentrate, it will cause the two of them to fall down together, but he doesn't think about it at all.

At the beginning, Xuan Zhen only heard her chatting endlessly, occasionally answering a sentence or two, until Zixuan accidentally mentioned the witches in southern Xinjiang, and then he paid attention.From what Zixuan said, he seemed to know a little about those Wu tribes, and he didn't have all kinds of taboos like other people in southern Xinjiang who couldn't tell the outsiders, so he couldn't help asking: "You said that all the Wu tribes are women Wa’s survivors, why did they split up into so many tribes, with so little contact with each other?”

Zixuan tilted her head and thought for a while, then frowned and said: "The story of Empress Nuwa has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and the legends left by some tribes are completely different from what we have heard. The view of the will is completely different. The puppet mother-in-law said that the reason why we descendants of Nuwa stay on the earth is because the empress Nuwa wants us to inherit her will and protect the creatures on the ground for her. But I I overheard other people from the Wu tribe from the Wuzhu meeting, but that’s not what they said.”

The breeze was blowing, blowing her purple clothes, Zixuan brushed the hair that covered her face, and said a little sadly: "They say... all the people of the witch clan have the spiritual power of Empress Nuwa in their blood. , It’s just that there are strengths and weaknesses according to different aptitudes, so they only believe in the Nuwa Empress, not the descendants of Nuwa... I think it is because of this reason that everyone gradually disagreed, and the differences became more and more. Naturally, we will not be able to get together again, and after thousands of years and hundreds of years have passed, everyone will gradually get used to the way they are now."

"I once met an old man in southern Xinjiang who claimed to be a member of the Lingwu clan. He also said similar things, but according to what he said, their clan is not connected with the outside world at all. What is the reason for this?" Xuan Zhen asked again about the evil old man he saw before.

Zixuan raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise: "Brother Xuanzhen, it's really strange that you will meet a member of the Spirit Witch Clan! The Spirit Witch Clan is the most closed clan among us Nuwa's bequeathed clan, my mother-in-law said , that branch of them has lived in a hidden valley in southern Xinjiang since ancient times. They guarded that land and never left. Even those of us in southern Xinjiang are extremely rare to meet people from this family. Unexpectedly, you can I saw it, and I even talked to him!" There was a bit of envy in her words.

Xuan Zhen smiled and said, "Probably because I was very lucky that day."

Zixuan giggled, pursed her lips and said, "You were very lucky the day you met me, right?" After laughing for a while, she said, "The Wumeng Lingu you mentioned, except for the members of the Lingwu clan, has no No one knows where it is, even old people like the puppet mother-in-law who have lived for many years have not been able to figure out the secrets of their clan. But I have a feeling that the reason why they hide there is to protect something."

"What?" Xuan Zhen wondered.

Zixuan frowned: "I don't know either. That kind of feeling is vague, as if it appeared in my mind from the moment I heard about the Spirit Witch Clan. I think that thing must be very important, maybe it is It has something to do with Empress Nuwa, and it must be because of this that the people of the Spirit Witch Clan have become so mysterious."

When she said this, her little face fell to the floor unconsciously, and her expression became very solemn. Xuan Zhen saw it, and felt even more puzzled, secretly guessing, could this be the difference between Nuwa's descendants?

Zixuan pondered for a while, then raised her head after a while and said: "Brother Xuanzhen, the puppet mother-in-law doesn't allow me to talk about these things, and I only told you about these things today, so don't tell them. ah."

Xuan Zhen naturally responded immediately when the secrets of other clans were involved.But deep down in his heart, he was somewhat skeptical about this. He is a cultivator, so he naturally believed in the Nine Heavens Gods and Buddhas, but the gods enshrined in Southern Xinjiang are completely different from the Qionghua Sect. Mysterious stories, as for the mysteries of Nuwa's descendants and Lingwu clan, in his opinion, it may be just a way for these southern Xinjiang survivors to make people dare not easily offend him.

Both of them had something on their minds, and they fell silent unconsciously.White clouds curled past him, the sword of spring water leaped across the clouds, the purple shirt fluttered, the white robe rustled, the sky stretched as far as the eye could see, and suddenly the spring water trembled slightly, causing Xuan Zhen to pull out his mind from his thoughts.It turned out to be a bird soaring upwards from below, so shocked that Zixuan almost jumped from the sword,

Looking sideways, there was already a girl in front of her with a timid smile like a flower. Xuan Zhen quietly withdrew her gaze from the girl behind her, shook her head slightly, and said in her heart: No matter how you look at it, she is just an ordinary girl. child.
