[Liao Zhai + Lu Xiaofeng] Gossip in Jianghu

In the morning, it was drizzling.

Baolan stretched her waist, rubbed her sore shoulders and walked slowly downstairs.In the past few days, she made excuses to tell Lu Xiaofeng that she was not used to sleeping with other people, so she laid the floor on the floor to sleep, but the floor was not only hard, but also a little uneven. She felt like being beaten up every morning when she woke up a feeling of.

That Lu Xiaofeng really didn't have manners, at least he saved him once, but he didn't feel any embarrassment when he saw himself sleeping on the ground every night.

The rogue system is even more perverted. She is a good girl. Although she has not had a strong sense of gender since she was a child, and she has no thoughts of falling in love, but she can't always let her wear the halo of a Taoist priest. No matter how you look at her baby face Be like a boy.But because of the Taoist status attached to her by the system, most people would subconsciously regard her as a boy.

However, although this time he failed to catch the monster, the rogue system found out that she did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he rewarded her with a small bronze mirror. To reveal the true nature of the monster, generally speaking, it is the mirror of the demon.Baolan used a string to wear the mirror and hung it around her neck like a necklace, which was quite convenient.

Downstairs, Huamanlou was making scented tea, and the faint fragrance of flowers touched Baolan's nose. Baolan couldn't help but walk up to Huamanlou, sniffed it vigorously, "It smells so good!"

Hua Manlou brewed a cup and put it in front of Baolan, said with a smile, "Daoist Baolan, please drink."

Baolan took a sip, and her stomach felt instantly relieved. She asked curiously, "What kind of scented tea is this? It's so delicious."

Huamanlou gracefully continued to make tea, and replied: "I picked out the peach blossoms that bloomed first in spring and dried them, then added a little winter melon kernel and poplar bark, and soaked them in the boiled morning dew. It is the peach blossom tea you are drinking now. This tea can beautify the skin, improve Qi and eliminate food, and it is most suitable for girls to drink."

"Oh, so it's made for Miss Yan Hua, so I'm done." Baolan smiled and drank another cup.

Huamanlou's hands making tea paused without a trace, but he hesitated to speak, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, what's written on the plaque at the door? Is it in ancient Chinese? I didn't find it before." Baolan asked suddenly.

Hua Manlou laughed, "That's what Yan Hua put up last night. She said that my small building has a name to be angry, and it says 'Baihualou' three names that she took." Character."

Baolan stared at the plaque for a long time, "If you hadn't told me the Baihualou written on it, I would definitely have thought it was a painted talisman."

Hua Manlou's eyes and brows were smiling, "Yan Hua can't write, this is her work after following my calligraphy all night, and she just showed off it last night, if you know that you have rated it as a symbol... ..." Speaking of this, Hua Manlou seemed to remember something, took out a piece of paper from his body, handed it to Baolan, and said, "This should belong to the Taoist priest."

Baolan took the paper talisman in Huamanlou's hand with a bit of embarrassment. This talisman was the one she had pasted on the stool to force Yanhua to show its original shape.At that time, I wondered why Yan Hua didn't respond at all, but now that I think about it, everything makes sense.Originally, Yan Hua just wore a layer of scrolls on her body, but did not use spells to transform into a human form, just like the art of disguise in the Jianghu, so this talisman is useless to her.

"By the way, why didn't you see Miss Yan Hua?" Baolan asked.

"She went out to buy breakfast, and it's raining outside, I don't know if she has an umbrella." Although Hua Manlou's words were as gentle and calm as ever, there was a hint of worry on his face.

Baolan was at a loss for words to comfort her, when a voice like a silver bell came in.

"Brother Hua, I'm back! I'm so lucky today, I bought the last basket of beef buns from Wang Baozi's house, am I amazing!"

While talking, Yan Hua walked in with a basket of steamed buns, with a smile on her face and a little complacency, as if she was asking for credit from Huamanlou.

"It's raining outside, why don't you even bring an umbrella, did you get wet?" Hua Manlou took a cotton cloth and walked over to help Yan Hua wipe off the rain, his eyes were so gentle and concerned.

"It's okay." Yan Hua blushed.

To be precise, her entire face was red, and then black... The skin on her body was smudged into patches of color by the rain, like a soaked ink painting.

"Oh, Brother Hua, my skin is broken."

"It's okay, I'll fill you up later, drink a cup of peach blossom tea to warm up first."

sapphire:"……"

Although the scene in front of me was weird, it was inexplicably warm. No matter how slow Baolan's emotional cells were, she knew that she was shining brightly like a light bulb.So she took two buns and quietly retreated to the room.

That Lu Xiaoji went out early and returned late these days and didn't know where she went, which made her a little bored.Fortunately, her career as a schoolmaster since she was a child allowed her to endure loneliness. It happened that no one was bothering her, so she simply took out the ancient books and started to study hard. She insisted on reciting one of the Taoist Heart Dharma every day. Recently, she felt that her dantian was It seems that a breath can be brewed slowly.

Just as she was getting better, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Daoist Baolan, follow me quickly." Lu Xiaofeng didn't care that Baolan was still meditating, and carried her outside.

Lu Xiaofeng's lightness kung fu is very good, and his movement is very fast, and after a while, he took Baolan to the door of a sword casting shop.

As soon as Baolan landed on the ground, she felt dizzy. Before she had time to arrange her clothes, she saw a mummy lying inside the open door. She felt uncomfortable in her stomach and retched immediately.

Lu Xiaofeng patted Baolan's back and said: "In the past month, five of the well-known swordsmiths in the country have died, and each of them turned into a mummified corpse. I have been guarding this shop for two years. Today, tonight, I heard a scream outside the door. When I came in, the master swordsmith had been drained of blood. I chased the murderer for half an hour, but he suddenly disappeared from my sight. I I can be sure that there are still a few people in the Jianghu who are better than me in Qinggong, but none are so good that they can disappear in my eyes."

"You asked me to come because you suspect that the murderer is not human at all." Baolan broke Lu Xiaofeng's mind.

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "I know this master swordsmith. Although he is not a top master, he is also a famous figure in the world. I really can't imagine that he can drain his blood and escape in such a short time. Which martial arts master can do it, so I bring you to see the murder scene."

Baolan frowned slightly, pinching her nose and walked into the room. The corpse was very hideous and distorted. It could be seen that the deceased also struggled hard before he died.She squatted down to examine the neck of the deceased carefully, and sure enough, she found two purple-red bite marks under the earlobe.

"The bite mark looks like it was left by some kind of beast, but I'm not sure if it was done by a monster." Baolan murmured. "It would be nice to have more clues."

"If we need more clues, we have only one way." Lu Xiaofeng thought while stroking his mustache.

"What method?" Baolan asked.

"Three words - go to the capital."

"The capital?"

"Out of the seven master swordsmiths, only two from the capital are left."
