Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

Yu Qishu pricked her fingertip, and a drop of bright red blood mixed into the lamp oil.Qian Yuzhi thought about it for a while, but still felt uneasy, so he divided the mixed-race lamp oil into three parts.Instead of lighting one lamp, it turns into lighting three lamps.

"One is in my study, one is in my warehouse, and the other is in my bedroom. This way, no matter where I am or when I am, I can see whether your kid's life is still alive."

Yu Qishu was quite touched after hearing the first half of the sentence. After hearing the second half of the sentence, she calmed down and curled her lips slightly: "I hope these things will never be used. I will save my dog's life and give you peach blossoms for the rest of my life."

Qian Yuzhi laughed heartily, took the storage bag full of peach branches, and settled the payment: "These are not enough to sell, I'm going to raise the price, next time I give more, we can all earn more."

Yu Qishu hurriedly waved her hands: "More? No way! When Brother Meng comes back, he sees that I have cut down the bald peach forest, so he has to scold me..." He lowered his voice, "Oh, speaking of Brother Meng, Brother Meng is still there In the secret realm, my brother is in seclusion again. I am the only one left in Changchun Peak."

He felt that Meng Xueli was very skilled, and the other contestants in the secret realm were not considered opponents, but he remembered that when Meng Xueli taught him the first day, he had explained that it was easy to hide a gun and difficult to defend against a hidden arrow, and there was no truly invincible master.Qian Yuzhi had guessed just now that there might be changes in the secret realm, and Yu Qishu couldn't help feeling a little worried.

In the cold mountain in spring, the wild flowers at the foot of the mountain are in full bloom and colorful, contrasting with the blue sky and snow-capped mountains.At a glance, the scenery is magnificent and gorgeous.

Yu Qishu didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery, and was absent-minded along the way.

The new disciples from Lunfa Hall had finished their classes, and gathered together to play, picking flowers and weaving straw garlands. There were bursts of childish and cheerful laughter from the crowd.

The little disciple greeted him: "Hello Senior Brother Yu. Hey, why is it Senior Brother Yu again? It wasn't just now..."

Feeling baffled, Yu Qishu patted their heads: "Stupid."

Approaching the Changchun Peak Floating Suspension Bridge, Yu Qishu saw a figure walking on the bridge from a distance, whose back was similar to her own.

The master travels far, and the brothers retreat, who will walk this bridge?

He quickly caught up with the man, and patted the man on the shoulder next to the stone tablet engraved with the word "Changchun", "Hey! I said you..."

The man turned his head suddenly, and Yu Qishu's breathing stopped.

He met a face that was exactly the same as his own.

"Ah—" Yu Qishu's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"Don't yell, don't yell! You're in trouble!" Que Xianming wiped his face and was even more devastated than him: "Again? Don't be so unlucky!"

Yu Qishu closed her voice with a pale face. Sensing the unfathomable realm of the other party, she pressed one hand to the hilt of the sword at her waist, with cold sweat dripping down her back, and she managed to calm down: "Who are you?"

"I'm Meng Xueli's friend, what about others? Oh, if you have something to say, don't draw your sword. It's useless anyway. I can break it with one hand..."

While speaking, the joints of Que Xianming's whole body were crackling, stretched and raised at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his facial features gradually changed, revealing his original bewitching appearance.

"Meng Xueli's friend? What kind of friend?" What sorcery, is it human or ghost?

Yu Qishu thought to herself that luckily she kept the soul lamp, so she must not be able to fight this time. Before I die in battle, shopkeeper Qian will come to save me, right?

He was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard a low voice in front of him: "Senior, why is it you?" It turned out that it was Xiao Daotong who heard the movement and ran over quickly.

Yu Qishu: "Do you know him? He is really Brother Meng's friend?" He was not as easy to fool as Xiaohuai, and still looked at Que Xianming vigilantly.

Xiao Huai hurriedly pulled him away, and said in a low voice, "I've seen this senior before. On that day, Daoist Ji Xiao had a big funeral, and everyone else was worshiping in the ancestral hall. He took the initiative to visit Changchun Peak to comfort the elder. Are you scared? Senior pretended to be me last time to make Elder Meng happy, and I was also taken aback..."

Que Xianming was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he never expected that the way Meng Xueli handled last time would actually help him by mistake this time.

Yu Qishu pinched Daotong's face: "You can't be fake too, are you his accomplice?"

Xiao Huai pursed her lips from being pinched, and stared at him with teary eyes: "Brother Yu Si!"

Yu Qishu let go of her hands: "It seems to be true." She was still so timid, she would cry when she was scared.

He turned to Que Xianming: "Sorry."

Que Xianming rubbed his nose: "Hey, I'm here to see Meng Xueli. I have something to discuss with him. The matter is very important. Is he not here?"

Xiao Huai asked suspiciously: "Elder Meng went to the Vast Sea Secret Realm, didn't you know?" The Vast Sea Secret Realm is a grand event in the practice world, Meng Xueli is also very famous, everyone knows that Meng Xueli will participate in this competition.

Que Xianming patted his forehead in annoyance: "I forgot, why did it come at this time!"

He came in a hurry from the demon world, and before he could sort out his ideas, he wanted to sneak into Changchun Peak to find Meng Xueli.

At the foot of the mountain, I heard young disciples from the Lunfa Hall discussing that Yu Qishu, Meng Xueli's apprentice, had won several games in a row in Jianping, which was very impressive.Just when he saw Yu Qishu going down the mountain, the younger disciples pestered him to ask questions, and when Yu Qishu was far away, Que Xianming changed into Yu Qishu's appearance and went back to tease the younger disciples.Who knew that he forgot the time and ran into the real Yu Qishu when he reached Changchun Peak.

Seeing Que Xianming's distressed expression, Dao Tong asked worriedly, "Is Elder Meng in danger?"

Que Xianming waved his hand coolly: "No! I'm going to find him, see you by fate."

Yu Qishu felt that this person was very strange: "He is in the secret place of the vast sea, and you can't get in without the Jade Talisman."

"I have my way!"

Que Xianming jumped down, and the suspension bridge shook slightly.

Yu Qishu looked down, only to see a vast sea of ​​clouds, and no one could be seen.

……

The land of the vast sea is vast, and Meng Xueli enjoys the fun of flying with his apprentice.

He thought, "Time EMI" is really good, it can fly faster and slower than the cloud boat, and it can fly more steadily than the peacock, without making people dizzy and nauseous.

The atmosphere was leisurely, and the two chatted without saying a word, flying over mountains and rivers.

"What's over there?"

"The central city you want to go to." Ji Xiao replied.

Meng Xueli: "It looks so small. It's different from what I thought."

Ji Xiao smiled: "There is a city with a population of one million, next time I will show you around."

"Hmm." Meng Xueli nodded and shook her head again, "Huh? I should be the one to take you."

The central city in the secret realm is not a city with gates and moats.

It is a group of palaces that have been abandoned for a long time on the open plain between the mountains and rivers.

This place was originally a space fragment that wandered outside the Three Realms, but it was thrown into the vast sea by Master Ji Xiao with magical powers, and it was called the "Secret Realm of the Vast Sea".Some people speculate that it should be an ancient and powerful cave.

At the end of the big competition, the remaining contestants were all ambitious people, and they gathered in the central area one after another. Everyone wanted to meet more people and get higher scores before the secret realm was closed.

Underneath the central city is the underground palace where mirages live.Both the upper city and the lower palace belong to the original secret realm, but the mirage beast is a latecomer.It is the guardian beast ordered by Master Jixiao to guard the secret realm and create mirages.

Wu Jin fell to the west, and the sky was getting darker, Ji Xiao asked: "Are you landing?"

Meng Xueli: "Central City is so small, and it doesn't look like there are any people now..." He stretched out his hand and pointed, "Do you know what is flashing blue light over there? It's pretty pretty."

Under the semi-dark sky, the ground scenery could not be seen clearly, only a little blue fluorescent light flickered in the northeast direction, which was very eye-catching.

Ji Xiao: "It's the light of phosphorous ore, someone should be digging the rare ore underground."

Meng Xueli thought for a while, someone has a treasure, that's enough.

"Okay, let's fly there! It looks like it's not far from Central City."

Ji Xiao thought to himself, if you look from the sky, of course nowhere is far away.Forget it, whatever you say is what it is.

……

Under the orange-red sunset, a pool of water is glowing with green color, radiant and radiant.

On the northeast side of the most remote part of the secret realm, near the clear water pool, there are mines underground, so the water in the pool is blue and blue, which is a well-known fact.

But it is not the most valuable spirit stone vein ore, it is phosphorite ore, a basic material for refining equipment.Moreover, the locations of the mines are scattered and difficult to find.The elite disciples of the sect disliked it for its low points and ineffectiveness, and disdained to waste time.

Some small sect disciples who had no intention of snatching the passing jade talisman and came to the secret realm not to compete for rankings, but just to make money, formed a mining team.If you are lucky enough, you can make a lot of money if you don't encounter or escape a strong enemy.

A mining team needs at least three people, a talisman master to survey the terrain, a talisman to bury and blast the underground passage, a refiner to identify the grade and purity of the ore, and a martial artist to escort the two who are not strong enough. convoy.

At this time, not far from the clear water pool, the phosphorite ore was piled up like a hill, and under the dim sky, it exuded a blue brilliance, just as Meng Xueli saw from the sky.

The two of them bustled around the hill, trying desperately to put the ore back into a new storage bag.Due to the lack of space in the storage bag, I had to pack it separately.

Obviously this team was unlucky. Their talisman master accidentally missed a blasting talisman and blew up the storage bag full of ore.Wu Xiu was a step late when he went to the rescue, and was injured in one arm and one leg. Now he is leaning against the tree trunk, looking at the sunset with nothing to love.

The talisman master shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up! It's not good to be so eye-catching, something will happen!"

The refiner was furious: "Are you still urging? Who is to blame for this?"

When the two were arguing, a hurricane rolled up out of thin air, and the two black cloaks fell from the sky.

Instead of jumping from a tree or a nearby hillside, it really broke through the clouds and fell from the sky.

"boom--"

A huge bottomless pit was smashed into the ground, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

The mining team screamed and fled in all directions.

The martial artist with the knife hopped on one leg: "Ahhh!"

Talisman Master: "I knew I was going to die!"

Refiner: "It's all your fault!"

In the deep pit, Ji Xiao put away "Time EMI" and returned it to Meng Xueli.Meng Xueli conveniently dismantled the "Bamboo Dragonfly" into two swords, handed one to his apprentice, and held the other in his hand.

He brushed off his sleeve robe, fumbled in the storage bag, and took out two brand new trophies: "Let's wear black cloaks to hide our faces." Most of the secret realms are dressed like this, and if they meet Jingdi again in the future, they are not afraid of being recognized. Out of entanglement.

When they jumped out of the deep pit, they landed right in front of the three of them.The mining team saw two black cloaks holding swords in their hands, looking menacing.Even if it falls from the sky, it won't die, and it will definitely not explode. It's over.

"Hero, spare your life!" The talisman master preemptively spoke very fast: "My name is Wang Xiaohua, I am 28 years old, and I usually make hexagrams when making talismans. Small sects outside Beihai are not enough to worry about. Our team came to the secret realm just to earn some money. Xiaoqianhua. Go to the teleportation formation today, why don't you let it go?"

Meng Xueli: "...Huh?"

He didn't ask a question, and the other party finished speaking first, which rhymed.

He asked the big apprentice through voice transmission: "What's the situation?"

Ji Xiao briefly explained the mineral deposits and the mining team in the secret realm.

Meng Xueli thought for a moment: "You have provided me with new ideas... Are there any other mining teams around?"

The talisman master didn't understand what he meant, and answered honestly: "There should be, but according to the established rules, we dig our own, and we won't attack each other."

Meng Xueli understood after thinking about it, they are all poor and poor, why bother to peck at each other?

"Don't be afraid, we are Hanshan Sword Cultivator. His surname is Xiao, and my surname is Meng." Meng Xueli smiled kindly, "I don't want your lives. If there is anything valuable, pay us [-]% as protection fees. We will escort You go to the teleportation formation, before entering the formation, just hand over the jade talisman to us, and the journey will be safe and comfortable, how about it?"

The refiner looked so bewildered that he made a silly voice: "Huh?"

Array Master: "...Only [-]%?"

The three members of the mining team looked at each other in blank dismay. Is there such a good thing?Does the big door do charity?But there is no need for the other party to lie to them, it is more efficient to kill and loot directly.

Meng Xueli: "That's right, let's discuss it. Hanshan Sword Cultivator, you will be escorted, and you will never be deceived."

He took his apprentice with him, so it was inconvenient to pretend to be a fat sheep and rob.Firstly, he wanted to impress the child, and secondly, he couldn't imagine Xiao Tingyun yelling 'be careful, elder' and 'protect the elder'.Thirdly, the way of appearance just now is really not like a fat sheep, but like a devil.

It's better to be with this mining team first, and when you meet other teams, you can join them.Collect some protection fees and send them to the teleportation array.

Not long after, Master Zhenfu took two steps forward as the representative of the team, and bowed slightly: "In this case, thank you, Senior Brother Meng and Senior Brother Xiao."

Meng Xueli was full of enthusiasm: "Let's go."

The talisman master pointed to the moon in the sky: "Here, it's too late. We have been digging for a day, and we plan to rest overnight and leave tomorrow."

Meng Xueli looked at Ji Xiao: "Okay." We also flew for a day, and the apprentice may be tired.

Ji Xiao smiled faintly from the beginning to the end, without any objection, just tossing about Meng Xueli casually.

As night falls, the pool water reflects the moonlight.Ji Xiao and Meng Xueli sat on the side of the stone pool, and the other three sat opposite.

The mining team brought their own pots and pans, so they caught fish and made a fire, cooked a pot of fish soup, and called two fellow Taoists who were helping others and doing charity to come and drink.

Meng Xueli: "Thank you, no need, I'm a vegetarian."

Ji Xiao was peeling pine nuts for Meng Xueli, putting the peeled ones in one pile and the unpeeled ones in another pile.

Meng Xueli raised her chin slightly, and motioned him to look at the other side: "What do you think they are talking about?" The three people's cultivation bases were not very good, and they felt that their lives were muddled, but they were quite happy.

Ji Xiao smiled: "If you want to listen, just go."

Meng Xueli ran over, paid out of her own pocket, and distributed a handful of pine nuts to everyone, joining the chat smoothly.No matter what anyone says, they all nod in agreement.

The three of them found that the elite disciple of the Martial Arts School had no pretensions, and gradually relaxed. After eating a few bowls of hot soup, they began to call him brothers and sisters.

The fish soup was fragrant, and the four of them sat around the fire.The mining team opened a jar of wine, saw that Meng Xueli didn't drink, and didn't persuade him much, and the three of them drank lively.At first, they talked about how much money they could make by selling the ore to a refiner, or selling it to "Hengtong Juyuan".Then the topic got off the ground.

The talisman master drank wine: "I heard that this time, the sword master and Taoist companion Meng Xueli are also here?"

Meng Xueli was wrapped in a cloak and pricked up her ears.

Craftsman: "That's right, Hanshan should send someone to protect him. Brother Meng was born in Hanshan, do you know him?"

Meng Xueli became very playful, thinking that I want to see what you guys have to say, and if you suddenly reveal your identity, you will be scared to crawl all over the ground.

So he shook his head: "Hanshan is very big, I don't know it."

Talisman Master: "Although I don't know him, I have heard a lot about him."

Holding the bowl in one hand, Wu Xiu urged, "Speak quickly."

"He's very good-looking."

Meng Xueli nodded.

"He bathes with water from Nanling Temple's spiritual spring every day, and ordinary clothes will abrade his smooth skin."

Meng Xueli was dumbfounded, but everyone else was listening with gusto.

"Reverend Jixiao killed the last nine-tailed fox in the world, and made him a white fox fur coat, which shone with silver light and stretched three feet long."

Wu Xiu retorted: "Impossible."

Meng Xueli thought, finally there is someone who understands.

But the man said: "Three feet long, it's not convenient to walk."

"Does he need to walk? Wherever he wants to go, Daoist Ji Xiao is holding him, and his feet never touch the ground. Do you think he is like you?"

The three suddenly realized: "So that's the case! It should be so!"

Meng Xueli broke down a bit: "It's a bunch of nonsense! It's all made up!"

The talisman teacher who told the story was shamed by him, and asked, "How do you know it's made up?"

Meng Xueli shouted: "Because I am Meng Xueli!"

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the talisman master patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, wake up, don't dream."

The drunken refiner shouted: "Whoever brings a basin of water, wake him up!"

The three laughed loudly.

Meng Xueli stood up, walked away angrily, and sat down beside his apprentice.

"Why, don't you chat with everyone?" Ji Xiao actually heard it clearly, thought it was interesting, and deliberately teased him.

Meng Xueli sized up his expression, until Ji Xiao restrained her smile, and then said, "Did you hear everything?"

Ji Xiao nodded.

Meng Xueli said seriously: "I don't want you to misunderstand Master Jixiao. He is not what you heard. I will tell you the truth, and you have the right to know about it."

Ji Xiao laughed again.

Listening to the fiery and straightforward expression of love from the Taoist couple every day, even a piece of ice will melt.Probably this is human love.

He suddenly asked: "Do you like Ji Xiao?"

Meng Xueli was slightly taken aback. When Que Xianming came to Hanshan to rescue him and asked him if he had a crush on Jixiao, he jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on and retorted: "You fart!"

He could lie at this time, but suddenly he didn't know how to answer this question, maybe because Xiao Tingyun asked too seriously and his eyes were too sincere.

Looking into Xiao Tingyun's bright eyes, his heart beat faster, and he felt that something was wrong with him.Because it seems that I really, really have a crush on Ji Xiao.

If Ji Xiao was alive, would he like him and respond to him?Won't.As Jixiao's senior brother Hu Si said, this is impossible.

Meng Xueli suddenly understood that he knew in his heart that it was impossible, so he only dared to fabricate love lies on the basis of Ji Xiao's absence.

"I don't like it. He doesn't like me, and I don't like him either." Meng Xueli's voice was calm: "I've told the lie ten thousand times, and I've believed it myself. In fact, Master Jixiao and I are fake Taoist couples in name only, what? Sincere feelings are all lies, they don’t exist.”

Meng Xueli said to himself and his disciples: "Reverend Jixiao saved my life, and I just want to repay his kindness. This is the truth I want to tell you."

Like a pot of cold water extinguishing sparks, Ji Xiao's heart was slightly sour, but his heart was inexplicably soft:

"It's okay. Although he saved you, he didn't ask you to pay back. You don't have to be obsessed with it."

Meng Xueli shook her head, only comforted by the gentle tone of the apprentice.

Ji Xiao said again: "It's fine if you don't like it, you don't owe Ji Xiao anything at all, you can choose again. But Jing Di is not a good match..."

The reason why he let Jing Di finish his sentence also meant to examine the other party.The conclusion is that young people have not yet settled their temperament, are frivolous and sentimental, and have no sense of proportion.

Ji Xiao thought for a while, and said seriously, "I'm better than him. Choose me."
