[Sword Three] Seventeen strokes

Shang Ming took Yu Susu out of the valley early in the morning, and probably won't be back until evening.Nian Jin packed up the things that Shang Ming said he would bring to Chunyang Palace by himself. After looking at them, they were all medicines with some incense mixed in them. "Senior brother, you know how to make incense?" Nian Jinbujing once again admired Shang Ming.

At noon, Nian Jin ate lunch alone, digested food in the yard, thought for a while, and then moved paper, pen, inkstone from the room.I haven't painted for a long time, I'm afraid I'm going to learn it by hand, and there is still some time before I leave the delivery point, so Nian Jin plans to practice.

Standing outside the courtyard, Gu Xiaochen was in a daze. Originally, he was lost in the valley and wanted to ask someone, but he didn't want to see the scene in front of him in this small courtyard - a little girl in black clothes, with a face as white as Porcelain, with bright almond eyes, holding a pen in a slender hand, lying on the table quietly drawing something, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling.The breeze blew and lifted her broken hair at the temples, and it was as peaceful and quiet as a scene in a painting.

Under the shade of the trees in the afternoon, Gu Xiaochen stood outside the courtyard and watched for a long, long time.

Maybe it was really being looked at for too long, so long that Nian Jin noticed it and had to raise his head to search for where that gaze came from.As soon as he raised his head, he saw the blue and white figure outside the courtyard.

For a moment, Nian Jin seemed to think that that person had returned.But after thinking about it again, it has been more than a year, and the time to come has come earlier.

Nian Jin put down his pen and walked over, with a puzzled look on his face, he asked, "Are you from... Chunyang Palace?"

Gu Xiaochen finally came back to his senses, the embarrassment was only fleeting, and then he adjusted his mood and hugged Nian Jin across the fence, "Poverty Taoist Chunyang Gu Xiaochen came to Guigu for the first time, and lost his way because he was greedy for the scenery here. So I want to bother you and ask for directions." His voice was cold and magnetic, and his speech and conversation were quite reserved.Nian Jin looked at her calmly, her clothes fluttered, and she was really a good-looking Taoist priest.

"Are you going to Samsung Mochizuki?" "That's right." "Coincidentally, I'm going to Samsung Mochizuki to deliver some things. If you don't mind, do you mind?" "That's troublesome."

Gu Xiaochen heaved a sigh of relief, finally he was able to arrive on time to greet Wanhua's acting head.Then he took another look at Nian Jin who was going back to the house to get his things.This young disciple from the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley looked young, but his cultivation and conversation were excellent, and his manners were also polite, so he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

Over there, Nian Jin took the things out and held them out, and suddenly remembered that these were just for Chunyang Palace?Could it be that the Taoist priest in front of him was the one sent by Chunyang? "What a coincidence..." Nian Jin muttered.

"Is this your first time in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley?" "That's right... But the people who routinely came to pick up things from Chunyang Palace in the past were not poor people... I was sent here because of some accidents." Thinking of Shimen Gu Xiaochen sighed secretly for that junior who had a bad stomach today and his face was ashen. "That's it..." Nian Jin nodded, "Are you the only one here?" "There is a fellow student accompanying him, who has probably arrived." "En." Nian Jin responded, and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Nian Jin and Gu Xiaochen separated on the Lingyun Ladder under the Three Stars Watching the Moon. Gu Xiaochen cupped his hands, said "thank you" and turned to leave.Nian Jin smiled and said "goodbye" and left there.

Gu Xiaochen didn't expect this "goodbye" to come so soon.

After paying homage to the acting head monk of Wanhua Valley, the disciples who brought the medicine came over, and Gu Xiaochen unexpectedly saw Nian Jin who had just left.Seeing the familiar medicine box package, Gu Xiaochen was suddenly enlightened, thinking what a coincidence.

Nian Jin smiled at Gu Xiaochen as a greeting, and glanced at the disciple Chunyang behind Gu Xiaochen.

Sure enough, it wasn't him... What was I expecting...

Gu Xiaochen was surprised by the disappointment in Nian Jin's eyes, his face remained calm, but he noticed the accompanying disciples that Nian Jin had just looked at behind him.Could it be that this little disciple Wanhua knew someone from Chunyang Palace?

After picking up the things and going back early, Gu Xiaochen took a look at Nian Jin who was following far behind, gave some instructions to the accompanying disciples, turned around and walked towards the little girl.Nian Jin was still wandering in the sky, hesitating whether to inquire about that person, but when he came back to his senses, Pianpian Taoist robe had appeared in front of him.

"Miss Nian, is there anything else?" Gu Xiaochen asked. "Well... I'm so presumptuous... I actually want to ask you about someone." Nian Jin was embarrassed, took a deep breath, and said it out. "Who?" "Jianzong disciple Wen Zhuo." "...You mean...Wen Zhuo?" A look of surprise appeared on Gu Xiaochen's usually indifferent face. He frowned slightly, wondering what Nian Jin was doing. He would ask about this person, and speak slowly while deliberating——

"Jianzong Wenzhuo betrayed Chunyang a year ago."
