Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

Xuan Qing, who only had three copper coins in her purse, naturally couldn't teach the kid to make money, so under the disappointed gaze of the kid, Fu Hua drove the carriage all the way away with a whip.Lin Rufei sat in the car and chatted with Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing said that she came out of Nanyin Temple, she has traveled abroad for three years, visited many places, and encountered many strange things, Lin Rufei listened with great interest, and asked a few questions from time to time, The atmosphere is very harmonious.

"What is the purpose of Master going to the Dajing Palace this time?" Lin Rufei asked curiously.

"I heard that there seems to be a noble person contaminated with evil things, so he invited the monk to do the ritual." Xuan Qing said, "Mr. Lin is going, who do you plan to give the invitation to?"

Lin Rufei said: "Dajing's Prince Bai Rui."

"Oh, so it's him." Xuan Qing showed a clear expression.

Bai Rui is Dajing's prince, his cultivation has reached the eighth realm, and he is the only sword cultivator in the Dajing royal family whose cultivation has passed the fifth realm.However, his reputation among the people is not very good. Although he is extremely talented, he is a real smiling tiger with a surly temperament and moody moods.Although he was not at the level of a common people, but those who dared to offend him, did not end well.According to rumors, he was smiling when he first met Bai Rui, and he was also smiling when he made friends with Bai Rui, and he was still smiling when he finally killed him with a sword.And the most permeating thing is that this smile is not a disguise, it can actually see the true meaning at every moment - he really regards you as a friend, and he really wants to kill you.

These rumors are so loud that it is difficult to tell the truth from the false.

But Lin Rufei had long been used to seeing all kinds of strange swordsmen, so she didn't think there was anything particularly strange about this rumored image of Tian Rui.

"He has a surly temper and likes beauties. Mr. Lin, remember to be careful when you go this time." Xuan Qing said.

Lin Rufei didn't take Xuan Qing's words too seriously, and said, "Why, Master knows Bai Rui?"

Xuan Qing said: "It's... acquaintance?"

Lin Rufei always felt that Xuan Qing's expression was a bit strange, but she didn't think much about it.

The weather was frighteningly hot, even though Fuhua put a lot of ice cubes in the carriage to cool down, it was still swelteringly hot.Yu Rui fanned Lin Rufei, and noticed that the monk Xuan Qing didn't sweat a single drop, and wondered, "Little Master, why don't you sweat?"

Xuan Qing said with a smile: "The mind is calm and cool."

"Calm and cool naturally? It's all a lie." Yu Rui muttered.

"Monks don't tell lies." Xuan Qing said seriously.

"Little master didn't lie." Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Isn't it cooler when a person dies?"

Xuan Qing nodded: "Young Master Lin is still reasonable."

Yu Rui stared: "But little master is not a dead person, why is he so cool?"

Xuan Qing didn't speak, just blinked at Fu Hua, Fu Hua stared back not to be outdone, stared for a long time, her eyes were red, but found that this monk didn't even blink his eyes, how could she He won, so he pouted aggrievedly and shrank into the corner.

Seeing this, Lin Rufei burst out laughing, saying that Master should stop bullying his little girl.

"Amitabha." Xuan Qing clasped his hands together, with a serious face, "The monk never bullies little girls, except when telling ghost stories."

Lin Rufei laughed again.

During the journey of more than ten days, Lin Rufei also learned a lot about this Xuanqing. This monk is very interesting and knows a lot of things, even including the secrets of the Dajing royal family. three.What kind of father and son cannibalism, brother fighting against each other, is common in the royal family.But there are also some interesting things, for example, the eldest prince fell in love with a woman, and he didn't even want the throne, but when the two were about to get married, a fairy teacher suddenly appeared, saying that the woman was a monster who harmed the prince .Then he cast a spell on the spot and beat the woman back to her original form—a pitiful rabbit spirit.Seeing this, the prince was furious, and cut off the head of the fairy teacher with a sword, carefully picked up the rabbit, rubbed the rabbit's ears, and carried him home in front of everyone.

Yurui was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said that it can still be like this. According to the normal plot, shouldn't it be the prince who was terrified and finally asked the fairy teacher to subdue the demon and eliminate the demon?

"That's right, everyone thinks so, and besides, Da Jing has a big enmity with the Yaozu, so the eldest prince should be aware of it." Xuan Qing said, "However, there was a big reversal in this matter."

"What reversal?" Yurui asked.

"It was after the fairy master's head was beheaded, his body turned into a monster instead, and the girl was raised in the eldest prince's house for half a month, and then she turned back into a human form." Xuan Qing said, "After looking for someone to investigate, I found out that the woman It is not a rabbit spirit at all, but was wronged by the immortal master."

Yu Rui let out a voice of surprise: "Can you still act like this?"

"Only you can't think of royal affairs, and there is nothing you can't do." Xuan Qing shook her head, her tone was very emotional, "Fortunately, the eldest prince's attitude is firm, and the bad guys have no chance to take advantage of it... It's just a pity..."

"What a pity?" Lin Rufei said with interest, "What a pity?"

Xuan Qing slapped her legs and laughed loudly: "It's a pity that the woman suffered such a catastrophe. She was afraid of the royal family and refused to be with the eldest prince."

Lin Rufei and Yurui stared at the same time, they didn't expect things to develop like this, according to the plot in the storybook, shouldn't it be the first prince who finally lived a happy life with his beloved one.

"In the end, what happened in the end?" Yu Rui also asked.

"In the end, the eldest prince, who was so angry, worked hard and became the crown prince." Xuan Qing had already leaned forward and backward with a smile when he said this, "He is the current emperor—hahahaha, it's a pity that his little rabbit has not Didn't get it back."

Lin Rufei and Yu Rui were speechless for a moment, from Xuan Qing's laughter, they could feel gloating, and they didn't know what relationship Xuan Qing had with the eldest prince.

After Xuan Qing laughed, he waved his hands and said: "These are just rumors, Mr. Lin must not say these things in the palace, lest..." He coughed lowly, "In case the current emperor becomes angry from embarrassment."

Lin Rufei nodded and said that she would pay attention.

Yu Rui was beside her in a daze, obviously unable to accept this too realistic ending, her expression was very complicated, she hesitated to speak when she looked at Xuan Qing a few times.

As a result, that night, what they ate was the hare that Yu Rui had brought from the forest.

This wild rabbit is no worse than a domestic rabbit, its meat is slightly older, and if it is not handled properly, it will be more fishy.Fortunately, Fuhua is a good cooker. First marinate the rabbit meat, and then roast it slowly on the firewood. After a while, the fat on it sizzled, exuding a strong meaty aroma.

It's a pity that Xuan Qing, who doesn't eat meat, doesn't have this good fortune, so he can only eat the sweet potatoes that Yu Rui specially baked for him beside him.

The taste of this rabbit meat is really good, but it's a pity that the weather is too hot and Lin Rufei's appetite is not good. After eating a rabbit leg, he feels a little tired. It's better for Fuhua to make him a bowl of cool mung bean soup with crushed ice. ate some.Seeing this, Xuan Qing sighed, saying why Mr. Lin has such a poor appetite, if he doesn't eat, his body will collapse.

Lin Rufei waved her hand, indifferently expressing that she was used to it, so that Xuan Qing needn't worry.

In the evening, everyone went down the mountain and found an inn at the foot of the mountain to rest.

As usual, Lin Rufei didn't sleep well, and wanted to chat with Gu Xuandu, but found that Gu Xuan wasn't by his side.It seems that since the monk Xuanqing came, Gu Xuandu talked a lot less, most of the time he stood beside Lin Rufei silently, neither speaking nor responding.Lin Rufei was not used to it for a while.

He tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before he heard Gu Xuandu's words from beside him: "Why, can't sleep?"

"Hmm." Lin Rufei said, "Where did senior go?"

Gu Xuandu said: "I'll go..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Rufei: "Don't tell me, you are going to catch ghosts."

Gu Xuandu said: "Can this also be guessed?"

Lin Rufei sighed.

But even so, Gu Xuandu didn't want to explain where he went, Lin Rufei couldn't ask any more, and chatted with Gu Xuandu about Xuanqing.Gu Xuan said that Xuan Qing's temper is actually good, but sometimes the angle of thinking is a bit strange, so don't take it personally.Lin Rufei said strangely: "From the tone of senior, it seems that I have known this monk for a long time."

Gu Xuandu said: "Is there?"

Lin Rufei said, "Of course there are."

"That's probably because you felt wrong." Gu Xuan was a little distracted, not knowing what he was thinking, "I'm going to the Dajing Palace in a few days, you must be careful."

Lin Rufei said: "What does senior know?"

Gu Xuandu shook his head: "I don't know anything, but since everyone has asked Xuan Qing to help, then this matter must be a bit troublesome, and it will not be so easy to solve."

Lin Rufei was thoughtful.

Gu Xuandu's tone was slow, and after chatting with Lin Rufei for a few more words, he showed a drowsy expression. Lin Rufei urged him to rest, but he yawned, swung his long sleeves, and his figure disappeared into the air. in front of Lin Rufei.His condition seemed to be very wrong. Looking at him like this, Lin Rufei suddenly remembered what happened on Xiliang Mountain. Could it be that this trip to the palace also contained something that Gu Xuan needed?

The more Lin Rufei thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. She lay on the bed and meditated for a long time, and did not take a short nap until the early morning light.

The next day, when the carriage was on the road again, Lin Rufei leaned against the window and dozed off.

Dajing's imperial city is called Lantern Festival, and the reason for its name is because there are lights like stars all over the city, and it is not dark all night long.This rule has existed since a long time ago, but I don't know why.But the name Lantern Festival has indeed been passed down for a hundred years.

Lin Rufei likes the word "Dengxiao", so she is also full of expectations for the imperial city.

The closer you are to the imperial city, the more prosperous the surrounding area is, and the folk customs of Dajing are open. When a handsome man walks by the roadside, there will always be bold girls throwing beautiful silk flowers on him.

Lin Rufei didn't know the rules of Dajing before, so she was taken aback. The weather was hot, and the woman who threw flowers to Lin Rufei was wearing a short shirt and short skirt, her hair was coiled up, revealing her waist.Seeing Lin Rufei's staring eyes seemed to be frightened by herself, she laughed out of joy and babbled in the local dialect, but Lin Rufei couldn't understand a single word.

In the end, it was Fuhua and Yurui who helped Lin Rufei stop the peach blossoms that suddenly appeared by the side of the road. The two maids smiled when they saw their young master being molested to a loss.

Lin Rufei was shocked and said, "This is too straightforward."

"Da Jing is such a style." Xuan Qing smiled, "Young master, you have to get used to it quickly." Although Lin Rufei's body looks a little weak and her face is pale, but her appearance is very good, one stroke at a time Every movement reveals the unique nobleness of everyone's children, which can naturally attract many girls who love beauty.However, Lin Rufei obviously didn't realize that the stunned expression when she was stuffed with silk flowers in her arms was really cute.

Lin Rufei didn't speak for a while, the most unrestrained girl he had ever met was his third sister Lin Weirui.But there is an older brother in the family, no matter how unrestrained Lin Weirui is, she can't make flowers. Now that she is in Dajing, she sees different customs and customs.

The closer you are to Dajing, the more temples about Tianjun around you. Some of these temples are luxurious and majestic, and some are just small temples built with stones on the side of the road. The king of clothes.Although Lin Rufei had already heard that the people of Dajing respected Tianjun, she was still shocked when she saw the scene in front of her.

After Tianjun crossed the catastrophe, most people said that he stepped through the void and ascended to immortality, but there are also mortal rumors that Tianjun did not leave, but failed to cross the catastrophe, his cultivation base was greatly reduced, and he was forced to hide. In addition, there are more strange claims, which are not worth mentioning.

Xuan Qing also seems to have a different feeling for Tianjun. When she sees Tianjun's temple, she will definitely go in and worship. If she has money left, she will definitely buy a stick of incense and light it.It's a pity that he was short of money at this time, with only three copper coins left, Lin Rufei wanted to lend him money, but he refused to take it.

"Just tell Monk Tianjun's heart first." Xuan Qing said, "After receiving money from others, this heart has changed, and besides... it is still Mr. Lin's."

Lin Rufei wondered, "What happened to my money?"

Xuan Qing said with a smile: "I've been sitting in Mr. Lin's carriage all this way, sharing meals with Mr. Lin. I've already caused Mr. Lin a lot of trouble. How can I ask for money again?"

This is true, but Lin Rufei always felt that what Xuan Qing said just now did not mean that.This monk is actually not pedantic, he knows how to be flexible, logically speaking, he shouldn't stick to these trivial matters, but his resolute appearance made it difficult for Lin Rufei to persuade him.

One day later, it was about to enter the Lantern Festival, but Gu Xuandu suddenly appeared at night, his figure faded a lot, and his voice sounded very weak.

"There are objects in the palace that restrain me, so I'm afraid I won't be able to show up." Gu Xuandu said, "If there is anything wrong with Xiaojiu, remember to ask Xuanqing for help."

Lin Rufei's expression was shocked: "The things in the palace are the same as those on Xiliang Mountain, and they are also what seniors need?"

Gu Xuandu hesitated a little, but under Lin Rufei's burning gaze, he still nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "If that thing is there, the imperial city will be very dangerous. Advance like that on Liangshan."

Lin Rufei nodded and said yes.

After Gu Xuandu gave a few more instructions, his figure gradually faded away.It seems that what happened on Xiliang Mountain scared Gu Xuan very much, otherwise he would not repeat it with Lin Rufei, for fear that something might happen to Lin Rufei.At this moment, Lin Rufei became curious about what was in the Dajing Palace.

Stepping on the morning sun, the carriage started on the road again. Today they will be able to arrive at Lantern Festival, and stay at Lantern Festival for another night. The invitation in Lin Rufei's hand should be able to be sent out the next day.

After all, it was the imperial city, before entering, Lin Rufei saw the tall and majestic city wall, and the heavily armed soldiers stationed beside the city wall.

Lin Rufei handed over the paperwork, the soldier checked it carefully, and waved his hand to let him go.But when they came to Xuan Qing, the attitude of the soldiers was different. First, they repeatedly confirmed enthusiastically whether it was really Master Xuan Qing, and after getting a positive answer, they immediately asked someone to report it.

Xuan Qing waved his hand, stopped the soldiers, and said that he would visit the palace again tomorrow, and told them not to bother the higher-ups.

The soldier wanted to say something more, but seeing that Xuan Qing was very persistent, he had no choice but to give up, but still sent someone to invite Xuan Qing to stay in the best inn in Lantern City, and even Lin Rufei was treated as a distinguished guest.

Sitting on the carriage, Lin Rufei smiled and said that she was in Xuan Qing's glory, but Xuan Qing shook her head and sighed, saying that she had nothing to do to be courteous, and she was afraid it would be troublesome.

"Why bother?" Lin Rufei wondered.

Xuan Qing said: "I have been to Lantern Festival three times, and the first two times I also helped the royal family solve their troubles, but I have never received such treatment..." He sighed, "It's better to ignore me."

The more enthusiastic the attitude, the more troublesome things are. Now even the guards at the gate know that he is coming, so Xuan Qing just recited Amitabha.

When they arrived at the inn, the members of the royal family arranged a few more rooms for them, and thoughtfully prepared a vegetarian meal.

Xuan Qing directly refused on the grounds of being unwell, and went back to her room to close the door. Lin Rufei thought that this matter had nothing to do with her, but who knew that those people couldn't find Xuan Qing, so they thought he was Xuan Qing's friend, Chatted with him for a while.

Only then did Lin Rufei learn from their words that something serious happened in the palace. Three of the six heirs had accidents, two were seriously injured and one was unconscious. Hysteria, this incident has been going on for almost a month, but I am afraid that the public will panic, so I have suppressed the news and dare not spread it, but there are still some rumors among the people recently, if this continues, this incident will be completely unstoppable .For this reason, the royal family invited Master Xuanqing, a monk from Nanyin Temple overnight, to calm down the matter as soon as possible.

After Lin Rufei revealed that she was from the Lin family, they warmly invited Lin Rufei to enter the palace with Xuan Qing tomorrow. They said that Prince Bai Rui would also be there, so Lin Rufei just handed over the invitation to him.Lin Rufei thought for a moment, then agreed.

Before the few people left, they said that the Lantern Festival had already been curfew, and told Lin Rufei to remember to go to bed early and not to wander around outside.

Lin Rufei said yes, but felt extremely regretful in her heart. Lantern Festival is famous for its nighttime lighting scene, but she didn't expect to encounter a curfew as soon as she came.

After the Lantern Festival, Gu Xuandu completely disappeared, and even though Lin Rufei suffered from insomnia, he never came out to chat with him.

Lin Rufei had something on her mind, she didn't sleep well, and while tossing and turning, the first ray of morning light came.

Woke up in the morning, finished washing, and when he went out, he saw Xuan Qing was already sitting at the table enjoying breakfast, he greeted Lin Rufei with a smile, and asked him how he slept last night.

"Not very good." Lin Rufei yawned.

"I didn't sleep well either." Xuan Qing said.

"What, are you worried about things in the palace?" Lin Rufei asked.

Xuan Qing nodded seriously, and said: "If this matter cannot be resolved, the monk may really starve to death." As he spoke, he took out his purse, and there were only three copper coins left in it, which were already in the previous few days. I used to buy incense sticks, but at this moment it was so deflated that I couldn't shake anything.

Although what he said was very serious, Lin Rufei couldn't help laughing, saying that Master Xuanqing needn't worry, if he was really going to starve to death, he would come to him and promise to have a vegetarian meal for Master to enjoy.

Xuan Qing said earnestly: "Then first accept Mr. Lin's kindness."

While the two were talking, the carriage in the palace had already stopped at the door, and a guard with a knife in a vermilion guard uniform walked up to the two of them, cupped his hands, and swept his sharp eyes from the faces of Lin Rufei and Xuan Qing. However, he opened his mouth and said, "The two are Mr. Lin and Master Xuanqing, right?"

Xuan Qing and Lin Rufei nodded.

"This way, please." The guard raised his hand and pointed to the carriage at the door, "The sage is already waiting in the palace." The sage is the current emperor of Dajing, and also the eldest prince in Xuanqing's story. His surname is Bai. His name is Bai Jinglun, and he is the half-brother of Prince Bai Rui, who is three years older than Bai Rui.

Lin Rufei took Fuhua Yurui and Xuan Qing into the carriage together.

The curtain of the carriage fell, the coachman raised his whip, and the sound of hoofbeats came from the stone road. The guard and Lin Rufei got into the carriage together, and sat opposite Lin Rufei. A state of vigilance, as if guarding against something.

"How is the third princess?" Xuan Qing asked.

But the guard glanced at Lin Rufei, as if hesitating whether to elaborate on the royal family's private affairs in front of him, an outsider.Seeing this, Xuan Qing said calmly: "Young master Lin's family are not outsiders, but it's okay to say."

The guard hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "The third princess is still in a coma, and has set up formations around according to Master Xuanqing's previous instructions, but...it's useless."

"Did that thing come again?" Xuan Qing asked again.

"Come here." The guard gritted his teeth. When he said this, he spoke so hard that the veins on his forehead burst out. He said, "Last night... I went to the saint's dormitory." He finished speaking With these words, he took a few breaths again, "But the guards guarding the door didn't see anything at all."

Xuan Qing's expression froze: "Dormitory? Did that thing go in?"

"Yes." The guard said, "Dozens of bloody handprints were left on the saint's bedside..."

Xuan Qing fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

But Lin Rufei became interested, something?what?Could it be what Gu Xuandu wanted?But listening to the description, it doesn't seem to be the same, but it seems to be talking about a living thing that can move.

"The prince didn't enter the palace?" Xuan Qing asked again.

"He went in, and slept next to the sage at night, but... didn't notice anything unusual." The guard smiled wryly, "That's why the sage is so anxious."

What would be something that even a sword cultivator at the eighth realm could not detect?At this time, Lin Rufei finally vaguely understood what Gu Xuandu meant by the trouble.

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: We are weak and need a little leek to get better

Lin Rufei gearing up: Finally it's your turn to be pitiful and helpless!

Gu Xuandu: ...

Modify the BUG of Habai Jinglun's age
