Nine thoughts of a gentleman in comprehensive martial arts

The old man who is as old as a withered pine, the beautiful woman who is as bright as a flower, they seem to be sitting gracefully in a gorgeous palace auditorium, but in fact, this is a slightly obvious place. The dilapidated courtyard house is gloomy and dark, and the air is slightly humid with water vapor mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers. It is not elegant, but a bit weird.

Three handsome, handsome, or tall men sat silently on one side, each with a wine bar in front of them.The noble and mysterious Princess Danfeng held a flagon and carefully poured a dark purple liquid into the cup in front of the three of them.Lu Xiaofeng's eyebrows were stained with color, but her smile was still unrestrained, with a bit of frivolity that made a woman's heart skip a beat, but she was thinking about all the clues she had just obtained.

The skinny old man in front of him, and the beautiful woman serving them wine, they all have a very noble status, but they ended up in this situation because of the disloyalty of their subordinates.

Fifty years ago, there was a Jinpeng Dynasty, which was small but extremely rich, fell in the midst of powerful enemies.In order to save the fire for the restoration of the country, King Jinpeng divided the wealth of the dynasty into four, and handed it over to Yan Liben, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, Ping Duhe, the emperor's relatives Shangguanmu, and Shangguan Jin for safekeeping.However, those three servants broke their promises and parted ways with a huge amount of wealth, leaving only the little prince's uncle, Shangguan Jin, to assist the little prince.The little prince is King Jinpeng, the skinny old man in front of him, and the beautiful woman is his daughter Shangguan Danfeng.

And King Jinpeng took great trouble to invite Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng this time, in order to use their hands to recover the wealth belonging to Jinpeng Dynasty.

"As long as my father drinks a little wine, his legs will swell immediately, and he will be unable to move an inch. I think the three of you will forgive him." Shangguan Danfeng was filial and elegant. She turned her back to King Jinpeng and showed her face to Lu Xiaofeng. With a strange expression, she raised her glass and smiled, "This is Persian wine that my father has cellared for many years, but I hope it can suit the tastes of the three of you."

She raised her glass, drank it all in one gulp, and sighed softly, "It really is good wine."

She emphasized her own fermented rice again and again, and all three of them noticed something was wrong.Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou toasted and sipped, only to realize that the glass was not fragrant wine at all, but colored sugar water.They suddenly understood what Princess Danfeng meant. This helpless old man had been deprived of most of his property. I'm afraid he couldn't even produce real wine.

And Shangguan Danfeng's concealment made her appear to be so gentle and considerate, so filial and caring.

Touched in his heart, he couldn't help admiring: "It really is a good wine."

Shangguan Danfeng smiled brightly, and the water in her beautiful eyes flowed, falling on Ye Ying's body, and said softly: "This... Mo, could it be that the wine doesn't suit your taste?" She seemed a little anxious, a little nervous, her voice was weak Dyeing a little trembling, falling in the ears of others is so lovable, I can't bear to say "yes" to this question.

Ye Ying remained silent, holding the wine bottle with her slender hands, brought it to her lips, swallowed the sweet liquid one by one, and put the empty glass back on the table, but said nothing.

He doesn't like lying, even if it's a white lie, he doesn't like it.

Ye Ying's movements are gentle and elegant, and one can tell that she is of extraordinary background.Seeing him drink it, Shangguan Danfeng's smile deepened. In her opinion, this was a sign of compromise and softening. Although the previous calculations made the white-haired man unhappy, but a gentle and beautiful man with a noble background But such a poor and weak woman has such a filial and sincere quality, who can bear to refuse?

Lu Xiaofeng agreed to investigate the matter and returned justice to King Jinpeng, King Jinpeng couldn't help sobbing because of his excitement, and the three of them were sent to the lodging place when it was over.

Lu Xiaofeng and Shangguan Danfeng walked in front, entangled constantly, with a somewhat affectionate attitude.Ye Ying and Hua Manlou walked behind side by side, somewhat silent.

"Brother Ye, I'm really sorry for involving you this time." Hua Manlou smiled helplessly. He knew very well that Ye Ying was from the Tang Dynasty, so it was really inappropriate for him to be involved in this matter.

"It's okay." Ye Ying replied indifferently, her indifferent appearance could easily be misunderstood, but Hua Manlou knew that the other party was not that kind of duplicity.

"Brother Ye, what do you think of this matter?" After a moment of silence, Hua Manlou lowered his voice and asked softly.

Ye Ying tilted her head to the side, looking a bit puzzled, but still replied in a calm tone: "Ye doesn't listen to the family, the world is right, and people are at ease."

Both Lu Xiaofeng and Shangguan Danfeng have martial arts skills, so they naturally heard this, both of them paused, Lu Xiaofeng smiled admiringly, but Shangguan Danfeng lowered his eyes.

When they arrived at the lodging place, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng seemed to have something to say, but Ye Ying had no intention of getting involved in this matter.In his opinion, the code of conduct of people in the Jianghu is very strange. The people in the Jianghu seem to be somewhat above the imperial power, and they feel that they are forbidden by martial arts.But in the Tang Dynasty, although there were many frictions between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, there was absolutely no such contempt and disdain.

As for the so-called King Jinpeng and Princess Danfeng, Ye Ying was noncommittal.Without Lu Xiaofeng's affection for Shangguan Danfeng and Hua Manlou's liking for Shangguan Feiyan, Ye Ying, as an outsider, could see it more clearly.A descendant of the royal family who has fallen so far seems to have lost his will and pride, but he still calls himself King Jinpeng, and his daughter can't let go of her status as a princess. Difficulty, at least—their ambitions and desires have not diminished with the passage of time, even though the tigers have fallen, they still think highly of themselves.

But what did it matter to him?He just wanted to find his apprentice, to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, to find his way back, or the way to the future.

In the unlit room, Ye Ying hugged Yangui and closed her eyes quietly, but her thoughts drifted back to her elusive hometown with the passage of time.

The wind is changing, the snow is changing, and the dream of my hometown is broken, so the garden is silent.

At dawn on the second day, Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng were still full of worries. The three people they wanted to deal with and seek justice for were now the three richest, most powerful, and most martial arts people in the world. They changed their names and changed their surnames. Now, Yan Liben is Yan Tieshan, the owner of Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, Ping Duhe is Dugu Yihe, the head of Emei, and Shangguanmu is Huo Xiu, the richest man in the world.

These three people are not easy to deal with, but in order to find justice among them, Lu Xiaofeng planned to go to Wanmei Villa to invite his friend Ximen Chuuxue.

In fact, Lu Xiaofeng had also heard a little about Ye Ying's martial arts, and was very curious about this blind man like Hua Manlou.But after talking several times, Lu Xiaofeng gave up the idea of ​​letting Ye Ying deal with Dugu Yihe, and would rather spend more effort to invite Ximen Chuuxue.

Ye Ying is a gentleman, he is harmonious but different from Huamanlou, but his cherishment and respect for life is irreplaceable.

"Ye Mou practiced the sword to protect, not to kill. It is not my intention to fight people. If it is to understand the meaning of the sword, Ye Mou does not need to do so."

Ye Ying's heart is light, and the way he walks is not the kind of swordsmanship that progresses in decisive battles and is honed with the blood of others.He is plain, quiet, indifferent and far away, and the mountains stand tall, watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, watching the clouds and clouds in the sky, waiting for the years to pass quietly, protecting the cherished person in his heart with a sword, from the smoke and clouds of the world, the changing seasons , the Zhongzheng sword way that comes from enlightenment in the midst of reincarnation.

Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to go together with Huamanlou to find the Grand Master Guisun, and through him, he asked about the great wisdom of the current "Bai Xiaosheng" in the world.I asked a few questions related to the Jinpeng Dynasty, and after confirming that King Jinpeng and Princess Danfeng were not lying, I asked how to invite Ximen Chuuxue.

The answer given by Dazhi Chase is: there is no way.

So Lu Xiaofeng planned to burn down Ximen Chuuxue's Wanmei Villa, and tried to drag him out with all his shame.

Huamanlou invited Ye Ying to go with her, and Ye Ying thought of the little apprentice whose whereabouts were unknown, so she readily agreed.The three of them went to Wanmei Villa, but Lu Xiaofeng made a vow that he didn't worry about not being able to find Ximen Chuuxue, because this person only went out four times a year, all to hunt down the villains in the world, and the rest of the time, he didn't care at all. Take a step out of Wanmei Villa.

How similar is it to Ye Ying?The difference is that Ximen Chuuxue still goes out four times a year, while Ye Ying... the time he stays in the villa is calculated in years.

It was April at this time, and the Wanmei Villa did not yet have the scene of Wanmei blooming in full bloom, but the peach blossoms and rhododendrons were in full bloom, fresh and beautiful, with boundless beauty.

Huamanlou sniffed the fragrance of the flowers and couldn't walk anymore. There was a kind of tenderness on his handsome and gentle face, as if he couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw the one he loved. Move half a step.Ye Ying also likes the beautiful scenery of flowers blooming and falling. When she is in a good mood, she doesn't care about anything else.

From this point of view, he is like a combination of Ximen Chuuxue and Huamanlou, without Ximen Chuuxue's ruthlessness, nor Huamanlou's overly soft heart, no more, no less, just right.

Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to find Ximen Chuuxue by himself.

When Lu Xiaofeng came out again, his eyebrow-like beard was gone, and the skin on his lips was as smooth as a baby's.He had a mournful face, clattering like a drowned chick, if his good friend Sikong Zhaixing was here, he would probably slap his legs and laugh wildly when he saw this scene.But at this moment, there were only two blind men in front of Lu Xiaofeng, so he didn't notice it.

Along with him came a man dressed in white, from head to boots, everything was as white as snow.He has a stern appearance and a majestic aura, and his whole body is like a sword drawn from its sheath.

Simon blows snow.

Ye Ying could feel the fierce and unparalleled sword intent from a distance, he didn't need to look at it, he also knew that this must be an extremely talented swordsman.This kind of Ling Han's sword intent is a bit more publicized and exposed than Ye Jiusi, who was taught by him and received the best education, but it is more firm and solid.This is a very outstanding junior. Given time, his achievements may not be inferior to him.

Ximen Chuuxue saw Ye Ying standing with her sword in her arms.

Immediately, his stern expression moved slightly, his handsome eyebrows twitched slightly, and after a while, he said in a cold voice: "You...do you know Ye Jiusi?"

It's no wonder that Ximen Chuuxue saw the difference in Ye Ying at a glance, it was the feeling of Ye Ying that was incompatible with this place, and it was too similar to Ye Jiusi.From Ximen Chuuxue's point of view, although the man in front of him is young beyond imagination, but with snowy hair, holding a sword, his face is elegant and elegant, his temperament is superb, as thick as a mountain, as lonely and deep as a flowing water, it is really like the "Ye Jiusi" in his mouth. master".

But... Ye Jiusi seems to be sixteen or seventeen years old, right?The man in front of him looks to be in his 20s, so could it be that he was his apprentice when he was six or seven years old?

Ximen Chuuxue was slightly entangled in his heart. Ye Ying didn't know it, but when he suddenly heard the name of the little apprentice, he was slightly surprised, and after a moment of blankness in his mind, a rare and intense joy surged up.His heart was surging, but his face was still calm, only his tone of voice became more ups and downs: "Si'er is Ye's personal disciple, but the young man has seen her?"

Sure enough.Ximen Chuuxue secretly said, being called a "Young Hero" sounds strange, but thinking that this person has a disciple who is less than ten years behind in age, his martial arts are so advanced that even his disciples look admiring and admiring, and his heart shudders for a while. full of meaning.But before Ye Jiusi had a few shallow discussions, knowing that this person's martial arts is definitely not something that he can challenge now, so he wanted to hone it for a while, and after he had a breakthrough, he first picked his apprentice and then his master—— The abacus is very good, and it is estimated that I can advance myself twice.

Ximen Chuixue's heart calmed down, her tone was no longer as cold as ice, and she was more respectful: "I saw her about two months ago. She was injured, her internal energy was exhausted, and she was still soaking in the river in early spring. Then she had a heart attack. After she recovered from her injury, she resigned and left, saying that she was going to buy a Zhuangzi by the West Lake, and wanted to make her name known to her seniors."

With Ximen Chuuxue's character, it's really not easy to be able to say so many things in one breath.

Ye Ying couldn't help but tighten her hands when she heard her apprentice's heart attack.Ye Jiusi's health is not good, but this heart disease can only be nourished but not cured. It has been much better over the years, but unexpectedly it will happen again.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were full of astonishment, especially when Ximen Chuuxue actually called Ye Ying "Senior".Ximen Chuuxue, who has always been arrogant and conceited, can call out such a title, how strong is Ye Ying's strength?But he's only in his twenties now, right?It is impossible to practice martial arts from the womb, right?Wouldn't that be a monster?

Lu Xiaofeng was very talkative, so he couldn't help but let out a strange cry of "Wow", and said with a playful smile: "Ximen, you are wrong, brother Ye is so young and handsome, how can you call him senior? You call him old .The building is full of flowers, don’t you think so?”

Hua Manlou smiled gently, but didn't answer, but said with some regret: "It turns out that Miss Ye went to Hangzhou and passed us by. Alas, it's too much for a girl who is only 12 years old to walk alone in the rivers and lakes." It's dangerous." Hua Manlou didn't know Ye Ying's age, and because she had heard Ye Ying say that her apprentice was 12 years old, she would be able to enter the world, so she subconsciously thought that Ye Ying's apprentice was only 12 years old, a tender girl Baby.The world is too chaotic and dangerous. Even if Ye Ying said nothing happened, Hua Manlou was worried that something bad would happen to a 12-year-old girl.

After he finished speaking, both Ye Ying and Ximen Chuuxue were a little surprised, and Ye Ying said, "Si'er is going to be seventeen this year."

Hua ManLou was startled, and Lu XiaoFeng even shouted: "Brother Ye, are you kidding me? I remember you said that you brought up your apprentice. Could it be that you accepted him when you were five or six years old?"

Ye Ying was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and was at a loss as to what was the conflict between "the apprentice is 17 years old" and "the apprentice was brought up by herself", and only then did she realize that she was no longer in the school. That Tang Dynasty, where the gender and age are blurred, in this world, martial arts can be beautiful, but there is no such outrageous effect.

After figuring out the key point, Ye Ying remained as still as a mountain, and dropped a thunderbolt in a calm voice: "Of course not, Ye Mou is seventy-seven years old this year."

a bolt from the blue!

Ximen Chuuxue was fine, he had just met Ye Ying, and the image of Ye Jiusi's master earlier in his mind was that of an old and wise man, so he didn't even raise his eyebrows.But both Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had been with Ye Ying for a while, and although they were silent, they had a good impression of this man, who was a gentleman, and even called "Brother Ye Ye" on weekdays.

Who knew that the other party was already approaching the year of destiny!

It's not that there are people in the Jianghu who are so advanced in martial arts that they don't look old, but most of them are women. For the sake of youth and beauty, they try their best to consume energy to maintain their appearance.But men pay more attention to sex than shape, who would go out of their way to maintain a youthful appearance?As long as martial arts are strong, wouldn't money and beauties come with a wave?

"Oh...so that's how it is...haha..." Lu Xiaofeng smiled dryly, thinking that he was called "Senior"?Or continue to brazenly call "Brother Ye"?

Should I take advantage of Ximen Chuuxue's advantage, or not?

The author has something to say: Hey, hey, I'm exhausted QAQ

It couldn't be more difficult to figure out the behavior and words of the male god!

In addition...

Hahahaha I have been waiting for this day for a long time!The male god's age is officially announced!

Such an old and beautiful man can't be held back hehehe_(:зゝ∠)_
