Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

Shangguanling took off her Qiqiao shoes and socks, hugged her feet on her knees, carefully applied the ointment given by Zhang Chi to her ankles and kneaded them, but kept her eyes fixed on Mu Liuyun's direction.

Bao Qiqiao poked her and whispered, "What are you looking at, my eyeballs are about to fall out."

Shangguan Ling lowered her head suddenly, her ears turned red suspiciously: "Don't you think...he looks so calm?"

Bao Qiqiao smiled mischievously: "So it's because of her composure, isn't it really because of her good looks?"

"How can there be..." Shangguan Ling glanced secretly again, "But it's true..."

Bao Qiqiao leaned on her forehead and sighed: "It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay, Xiao Ling'er has reached this age..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shangguan Ling pinched her ankle angrily.

"Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai!" Bao Qiqiao yelled.

Mu Liuyun and Zhang Chi didn't have time to pay attention to the whispers of the two little girls behind them, but focused on the battle downstairs.

Tie Santong once again got rid of the entanglement of the Liangyi Formation, and almost hurt Qingyue, Mu Liuyun frowned, and reminded: "Qingliu, Qingyue's speed can't catch up with you, slow down, don't just focus on yourself. "

Among other things, at least in terms of martial arts, Mu Liuyun's vision can be said to be accurate.Qingliu's martial arts are better than Qingyue's. Qingyue had a hard time keeping up with his pace, so he was repeatedly thrown off by the iron three links. After Mu Liuyun's reminder, Qingliu deliberately slowed down, and began to advance and retreat with Qingyue.

As a result, the situation of the iron three links is even worse.

Under the pincer attack of the two senior brothers in unison, he was first hit by Qingliu's sword in the arm, and his movements froze, and he was too late to defend, so he was hit by Qingyue's sword in the chest again.

After all, Qingyue didn't intend to take his life, so he changed his tactics in time, and only cut a shallow wound on his ribs. Qingliu took the opportunity to make up for him in the back, and Tie Santong was immediately kicked out several steps away, and fell face down on the ground.

Qingliu and Qingyue stopped their momentum and did not continue to pursue.

There was a burst of applause from the crowd.

Tie Santong's hate, in his opinion, he just said a bad word about the Shangqing Palace, and he was bullied by the overbearing Shangqing Palace to such a situation, and he was defeated by two Shangqing Palace disciples. As the leader of the gang, he has lost all face, and he is afraid that he will be laughed at wherever he goes in the future, "speaking wild words and being beaten by two little kids from the Shangqing Palace until he cries for his mother".

It's all come to this point, what's the point of being a human being?

Thinking of this, Tie Santong felt malicious in his heart, raised his fan to face Qingliu and Qingyue, and pressed the hidden switch.

Qingyue had already turned around and was about to go upstairs, Qingliu followed closely behind, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a cold light flashing on Tie Santong's hand, and he rushed towards Qingyue recklessly: "Be careful!"

And at the same time, Mu Liuyun drew his sword.

The exclamation of the onlookers, the sound of "ding" metal and iron, and the sound of something being nailed into the wood sounded almost simultaneously.

From the time when Iron Santong was defeated, Mu Liuyun has been secretly on guard, because Zhang Chi has reminded him many times before, saying that you must be careful, the more you win, the more you need to be careful not to let others take advantage of you If you are not prepared to bite back, don't let your guard down even if you have already crippled someone. Have you ever seen a snake?Snake heads can still kill people even if their heads are chopped off. There are not too many examples in the world of dying counterattacks and perishing with the enemy.

Just now, Zhang Chi told him that there was a ghost nail hidden in the iron fan of the iron three links, and he had used this unexpected method to harm people before.

That's why Mu Liuyun was able to react in time at this moment, and at the critical moment, he struck out the hidden weapon with his sword.

Only then did the people who were still in shock realize that it was an iron nail about an inch long. Toxic.

"Damn it, you despicable, shameless, dirty bastard!" Before Mu Liuyun could do anything, Qingliu rushed forward and punched and kicked Tie Santong. Qingyue recovered from the shock, not only didn't stop him Qingliu, instead rushed forward to beat up the guy who almost killed one of them.

It wasn't until this moment that Jinghong Villa's iron guards appeared at the entrance of the restaurant, and the leader scolded: "What's going on? Hurry up and stop!"

Only then did Qingliu and Qingyue stop reluctantly, and they didn't forget to kick them when they were done. Before the bruised and swollen Tie Santong could speak, Zhang Chi took the first step and said, "Guys, the thing is like this. Tie Santong, the leader of the Iron Fan Gang, openly insulted the two girls, and even slandered the reputation of Shangqing Palace. The two priests Qingyue and Qingliu of Shangqing Palace couldn't stand it anymore and challenged him. After winning the fight, he put away his sword. Who knew that Tie Santong was so mad that he even launched a poisoned hidden weapon to attack the two Taoist priests. Fortunately, the Taoist priest Mu Liuyun was very capable, and he used his sword to knock out the hidden weapon in time, otherwise the consequences would be real. It’s unimaginable. The course of this incident is obvious to all present.”

A loser who came from a third-rate gang and made a disgusting sneak attack, and the famous and powerful Shangqing Palace, there was no doubt on which side people would stand on, and they all nodded in agreement.

However, the leader of the iron guard didn't focus on the matter itself, but looked at Mu Liuyun who calmly put his sword into its sheath: "It turns out that your Excellency is the Taoist Master Mu Liuyun of the Shangqing Palace, and the owner has been waiting for you for a long time." The matter here will be handled by us, let’s go to the villa first, from here to the east, there is still half a day’s journey to see it.”

Mu Liuyun was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Wait a minute." Shangguanling helped Bao Qiqiao down the stairs, "Senior brothers, we are also going to Jinghong Villa to find my father, can you take us with us?"

Naturally, the few people would not object. After they led the horses out of the stables, they heard people from the Iron Guard announcing in public that Tie Santong, the leader of the Iron Fan Gang, would lose his qualification for the competition and would pay compensation to the restaurant Damaged items, as well as damages such as scare compensation fees and guest escaping orders.

***

Anyway, they were not in a hurry, and the group walked slowly on the road. Mu Liuyun lent the horse to the injured Bao Qiqiao to ride, Qingliu led the horse, and chatted excitedly with Qingyue about the fight just now. It was the first actual combat between the two of them since they practiced martial arts.

Zhang Chi led the other horse, watching Shangguanling stick to Mu Liuyun like a curious kitten with a bit of resentment.

"Senior Brother Mu." Although Shangguan Ling was only 15 years old, she was already slim and graceful, and her smile was as lovely as a lily of the valley flower.

Mu Liuyun just responded indifferently: "Don't call me senior brother."

Shangguan Ling didn't feel that he was cold at all, but felt that this lofty attitude made him look more charming: "Why not, my father is a disciple of the Yizi generation, so I should call you senior brother after all. And this year I Just prepare to worship under the sect of the Shangqing Palace, and maybe you will really become your junior sister by then."

"My master won't accept any more apprentices." Mu Liuyun also told the truth that his master Xuan Yidao was already ninety years old, and he really didn't have any thoughts about it.

"That can also be regarded as a brother of the same school." Shangguan Ling said with a little coquettishness, twisting his shoulders.

Qingyue and Qingliu saw it, secretly bit their ears to reach a consensus, and then laughed wickedly together. Bao Qiqiao sat on the horse and asked curiously: "What are you laughing at?"

"No, nothing." Qingyue and Qingliu looked at each other and laughed again.

It is said that Shangguan Ling's lively and generous temperament is not annoying, and he is cute, but Mu Liuyun didn't want to continue talking with her, but turned around and said: "You go ahead, I have something to do." Talk to Zhang Chi."

Qingyue and Qingliu responded, passed them and left, Shangguanling turned back to look at them a little unhappy, but saw that the two were discussing something seriously, it was really not easy to disturb, so she went to chat with Qingyue and Qingliu.

Qingliu was very kind. As soon as Shangguanling asked, he praised Mu Liuyun vigorously: "He is very good at martial arts, do you know that? If he hadn't rescued him just now, Qingyue and I might have confessed that we were there." gone."

Qingyue also smiled and said: "And this time he went down the mountain, one person and one sword wiped out a bandit village in Miaojiang. This matter has been widely circulated in the world."

Bao Qiqiao was surprised and said: "I also have a little impression of this, so it was him."

"It's amazing——" Shangguan Ling's eyes sparkled with admiration, "It would be great if I could also learn such a powerful martial art. Who is he under? I must worship that person as my teacher, even if he doesn't accept him. I'm going to try my best."

Qingyue coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Are you really planning to get started?"

He had heard of Shangguan Ling's father, Shangguan Qizheng Daoist Yizheng, who was disabled due to a knee injury in his early years of fighting. The business of the Shangqing Palace will no longer accept apprentices and teach arts in the sect.

Shangguan Ling nodded firmly: "I want to learn more powerful swordsmanship, but my father always said that I am not good at practicing, but he has no time to teach me."

Shangqing Palace also accepts female disciples, and everything is treated equally with male disciples. There was even a precedent for a female Taoist priest to be the head of the sect. However, due to customs and innate conditions, there are few women who like to learn martial arts. Thousands of people, only a few dozen female disciples.

Qingliu frightened: "Little sister, let me tell you, learning martial arts is very hard. Every morning before dawn, we have to get up to chop firewood and carry water, then eat a few steamed buns and start morning classes. Practicing martial arts lasts all morning. , I have to study other things in the afternoon, and I have evening classes in the evening. I am as tired as a dog every day, wishing to go back to my room and fall asleep on the bed. Even a female disciple must not do less work. Such a big bucket, never Carrying water halfway up the mountain, three times a morning, can you bear it?"

"Don't look down on me, I'm very strong." Shangguan Ling said angrily.

"That's right, our family's Ling'er has also practiced before." Bao Qiqiao was also unconvinced for her.

Qingyue smiled and said: "When you learn martial arts in the future, you will be the first to teach this arrogant bad brother a lesson, and see if he is still poor."

Qingliu was dissatisfied and said: "Hey! Thanks to the fact that I was desperate to help you block the hidden weapon just now, why are you doing this to me?"
