[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

Chengdu Guangdu Town

Zhao Yunrui is the proprietress of the teahouse in Guangdu Town. Many people who travel the rivers and lakes probably know her, because the proprietress of the teahouse is unusual. No one knows her origin, and no one knows what stories she has had. All they know is that she is everywhere. For home, wherever there is tea, there is Zhao Yunrui.

Although a lot of martial arts people have poured into Chengdu in recent days, most of them are there for the upcoming "Dragon Slaying Conference" in Juxian Villa. Guangdu Town is as peaceful as ever.

The teahouse next to the entrance of the town has always had a good business. Regular customers know that the proprietress Zhao Yunrui always uses high-quality mountain spring water to make tea.

Bai Youlin and Hei Tengfeng can be said to be regular customers of Zhao Yunrui's teahouse. No matter where they go, they always like to drink tea together in the teahouse. Unfortunately, their relationship is not good. Not only is it not good, Sometimes I even move my hands.Zhao Yunrui had nothing to do with these two people, at first he would call someone to mediate between them, but later he just let them quarrel, after all, the visitor was a guest, and she couldn't drive the guest away, it was not good for her to hide away Far?

On this day, Bai Youlin and Hei Tengfeng quarreled again in the teahouse because of a small matter. The ferocity made the tea guests around them tremble with fear, and they couldn't help but move away from their vicinity, leaving only the teapots on the next table. A young girl was still sitting there quietly.

On the surface, Zhao Yunrui was making tea, but in private he had been observing the girl who was deaf to her surroundings.

Although she is just a teahouse proprietress, she has seen all kinds of people in all these years, but this is the first time she has seen this strange girl.

The young girl was sitting quietly in a corner with her back facing the teahouse entrance. She was wearing a white dress with wide sleeves. The hem of the skirt and the wide sleeves were embroidered with wavy golden dark patterns with gold thread. She lowered her head slightly at this moment. , with a few strands of hair hanging down, but the sitting posture is very upright.And look at the few jade ornaments on her waist belt, although the style is simple, but judging from the color of the jade, it should be a valuable item. A well-bred lady.

But compared to the ladies of the family, she also has a sense of dignity and inviolability that is naturally superior to everyone. Although she looks weak and harmless, she is deep and introverted, hidden and hidden, and seems to be incompatible with the people around the teahouse. But she blended into the surrounding environment, so not many people noticed her.

With years of experience in the world, Zhao Yunrui is almost certain that this girl is definitely not an ordinary person.

Zhao Yunrui sighed, feeling that something big is going to happen in the martial arts recently, but what does it have to do with her?

So, the experienced proprietress withdrew her gaze from looking at the girl, and was about to lower her head to continue making tea when a pair of black boots embroidered with dark patterns suddenly appeared in her sight.

She raised her eyes in astonishment, but saw a young man who was a head taller than her, wearing a dark blue dress, with a mask covering his face, only half of his stern face and one dark eye were exposed.

"Miss Boss, do you have Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots?" The man's voice was deep but pleasant, not as cold as his appearance.

"Hey, guest officer, Gu Zhu Zisun, isn't it? Our teahouse is small, but there is no shortage of this kind of tea, why don't you sit in it?" Zhao Xiaoer, who was on the side, hurried up after Zhao Yunrui's signal said hello.

Zhao Yunrui naturally recognized this man as a disciple of the Tang Sect. Thinking of the many martial arts people who came here recently because of the "Dragon Slaying Conference" of Lao Shizi, and the fact that the Tang Sect is so close to Chengdu, she thought that these two people were also there for the conference. Come, so I threw it to the waiter in the teahouse to say hello.

Under Zhao Xiaoer's guidance, Tang Wujue stepped into the teahouse, picked an empty table and sat down, but he was fiddling with the teacup, and was attracted by the girl sitting at the table opposite him.

It was a young girl who looked no more than 15 years old. At this moment, she was sitting upright by the table, quietly looking at the teacup on the table with slightly lowered eyelids.Her face was covered with a light blue veil, and a delicate and small cheek could be seen in the blur. At this time, she was wearing a white long-sleeved dress with sea wave patterns embroidered on the sleeves and the hem of the skirt. The golden dark pattern looks solemn and solemn.

Her hairstyle is also different from what is popular among young girls nowadays. She only picks out a strand of blue silk and combs it into a simple and small bun, and the rest of her long hair is tied together with jade hair accessories that look a little simple, which is very elegant and elegant. .

Tang Wujue couldn't help but shudder when he looked at the girl's slightly immature side face.

When he came in just now, he had secretly glanced at the surrounding tea customers, but he didn't notice the girl, and she had been sitting there all the time, and she seemed to be a person with a strong sense of presence, but for some reason, as long as she didn't look around for a while Pay attention, it's really strange to be able to ignore her.

Tang Wujue's eyes darkened when he contacted the various martial arts figures who came here recently because of the "Dragon Slaying Conference" that Juxian Villa was about to hold. The purpose is absolutely impossible to just "slay the dragon". Thinking of the information about the Red Clothes Sect that he got a few days ago, it seems that Wang Zhaonan also colluded with the Red Clothes Sect. He can only blame himself for not getting involved with those women in red.

Thinking of the group of women in the Red Clothes Sect, Tang Wu despaired to look into the gaze of the girl opposite him a little more. He knew that although the Red Clothes Sect had many followers who liked red, there were also many believers who usually dressed like ordinary people, and even only From the looks of it, they couldn't find out their identities as disciples of the Red Clothes Sect.

This young girl suddenly appeared in Chengdu at this juncture. Could it be that she really has something to do with the Red Clothes Sect?

Tang Wujue frowned, coldness began to appear on his body, but he didn't expect that the girl on the opposite side seemed to feel something, suddenly raised his head and looked at this side, his eyes were as clear as water, with a faint wave of light, and suddenly he was in harmony with him It was too late to take back their eyes and bumped into each other.

Swept by the girl's calm gaze, the young Tang Wujue knew for the first time how to write the word embarrassment, but because of his reserved emotions all the year round, he couldn't hold back at this moment, and retracted it expressionlessly. He looked at the girl's gaze.

Xu Shi felt that the eyes focused on him disappeared, and the girl lowered her head slightly again, and resumed the posture she had been in before.

Tang Wujue noticed that the girl lowered her head again, so she glanced at her again, a little helpless, feeling that she was too sensitive.Those eyes just now were not at all the same as those of the red-clothed believers he had seen over the years. There was no coquettishness, no forbearance, and no fanaticism. They were as clear as water, giving people a sense of tranquility.

Seeing that there were two bells, one gold and one silver, and two fluffy little white balls hanging on the girl's waist, Tang Wu couldn't help but chuckled, apparently thinking of his sister who seemed to have this little furry hobby when she was young. Although the girl looked calm for her age, she was really just a little girl.

Shaking his head, Tang Wujue turned his gaze away, and saw that a pot of Guzhu purple bamboo shoots had been served on the table, so he packed up the tea set and poured himself a cup, and began to taste carefully.

And the girl in the white dress whom he sized up just now was Miao who left Lishan with Huai Xu, the current owner of the Yin Yang family.

She stayed in the Lishan Star Palace for nearly five years. During this period, with the help of Huai Xu, she dredged all the extra internal energy in her body. Since then, she has not wasted a day. I can leave Lishan as soon as possible to find my former partners.

Originally, after leaving Dihua Palace, she wanted to go back to Luoyang to see if there were any clues, but was persuaded by Huai Xu, bluntly saying that it was too dangerous for her to walk alone now, and with her ability at that time, if she met Teacher Hongyi again The only people who are arrested are probably the only ones who will be taken back.

What Huai Xu said, Miao knew in her heart, but she was very unwilling and had no choice but to follow her back to Lishan.

After returning to Mount Li, Miao began to practice Yin-Yang Art hard. At first, she was uneasy because she couldn’t find Mo Yu and Mao Mao. Later, she saw that the Yin-Yang Art taught by the Yin-Yang Family is different from that in the pre-Qin period, and some of them are incomplete. Some of them were incomplete, but some were improved on the basis of the predecessors, so Miao plunged headlong into the collision of ancient and modern techniques of the Yinyang family, concentrated on studying, and five years passed in a blink of an eye.

That day, she sat alone in the main hall of the Star Palace, looking at the countless intertwined and complicated stars around her, she used astrology for the first time, but because of insufficient skill, she only vaguely divination that what she was looking for was in a place in the south called Cangshan Mountain. near the mountains.

Although I don't know if I can meet Mo Yu and Maomao when I go to Cangshan Mountain, but Miao didn't stop for a moment after getting the divination result, and went to Cangshan Mountain to explore first when he was about to pack up his things.

But he didn't expect that before she left, Huai Xu came to the door first, and said that she would go to Cangshan together.Miao was puzzled and wanted to ask why, but the other party only said it was a personal grievance, so she stopped asking.

Compared with the yin and yang schools of the pre-Qin period, the yin and yang schools in the Tang Dynasty were as "loose" as the Taoists at that time. After all, the times were different. For thousands of years, Yin-Yang School, like Confucianism and Taoism, has gradually merged into a representative of a kind of academics under the deliberate actions of the rulers of the past dynasties, and has integrated into all living beings, and is no longer a specific school.

Now people who can really be counted as inheriting the techniques of the Yin-Yang School in the past are almost all disciples of the Yin-Yang Palace in Lishan. The Yin-Yang Palace has been extremely strict in selecting students for hundreds of years, and the Yin-Yang Art is extremely talented, so in the Tang Dynasty At that time, there were not many disciples of the Yin Yang family.Nowadays, many elderly seniors of the Yinyang family have either passed away or are hiding in the mountains without leaving home. Among the younger generations, Huai Xu is respected. She is the current owner of the Yinyang Palace in Lishan, but she does not usually Not too much interference in the private affairs of his disciples.

Later, Miao was brought into Mount Li, where she also lived in the Star Palace which was listed as the forbidden area of ​​the Yin-Yang family all the year round. Except for Huai Xu and the occasional Zhong Li, she had never seen any other members of the Yin-Yang family. Now she If he wanted to leave Lishan, naturally no one would stand up to oppose it.

She was led by Huai Xu to detour to Mawei Station, and came all the way to Chengdu in Bashu area, but Huai Xu indicated that she had something to do, so Miao went into a teahouse in Guangdu Town alone, intending to take a rest and make a divination later. Calculate the next direction.

In fact, from just now, she noticed that someone on the table next to her was looking at her all the time, but she didn't pay attention to it. She didn't look vigilantly until a slight sense of oppression hit her, but unexpectedly she As soon as she raised her head, the person who had been looking at her just now looked away, as if nothing had happened, and smiled to herself, which made her confused, so she simply ignored it.

She concentrated her thoughts and stared at the tea leaves in the teacup. On the way here just now, she heard a few people talking about divination by counting tea leaves, and she immediately found it very interesting. She thought it was a common method used by people of this age, so she She also came to try, but who knew that after counting for a long time, she didn't feel anything, and then realized that those people were just joking, but in fact they didn't understand divination at all.

It's no wonder she took it seriously. After all, divination was not something ordinary people could do thousands of years ago. The astrology of Yin Yang family is the most.

Having lived in the Tang Dynasty for so long, I also know that there are some differences between this place and the pre-Qin Dynasty, but there are some consciousnesses and habits that are still difficult to change.

Just as she was in a daze, an angry shout suddenly came from the door.

"Damn Tang Qingling, you offend me, you don't treat me like a brother! How unreasonable!"

The author has something to say:

Because the heads of the dragon slaying conference were imprisoned roughly five years after the start of the game, that is, 750 years, combined with the ages of the characters given in the setting, the young master was about fifteen or sixteen years old at this time, and Mao Mao was twelve or thirteen years old. .

And, there is a cute little bully coming out, guess who (????)???
