Chapter 22: Reunion after a long absence(1/2)
An autumn rain sprinkled on the old iron chain bridge. The turbid water of the Tuolong River under the bridge rushes, and the roar brought down all the sounds between heaven and earth.
The woman wearing a flower hairpin, holding a peach blossom umbrella, slowly walked across the old wooden board of the iron chain bridge and stared at the other end of the bridge.
Huajunzhou is full of immortal sects, but its territory is much wider than Yuyaozhou. The territory of each wealthy family is not as close as the nine sects. There are a large amount of spiritual energy between them, which is not suitable for being a barren land where the sect's resident is located.
At the other end of the Iron Cable Bridge is Huanggutan located in the eastern part of Huajunzhou. The closest Xianjia Pofeng City is thousands of miles away, and it is usually rarely visited.
There are white bones in the wilderness of birds and beasts exposed to corpses in the wilderness, but not many of them are called this because the earth is yellow and white, and it is not suitable for cultivation and vegetation. There are very few people and birds and beasts. People who can come here to come here are also the small casual cultivators at the bottom. They come to explore treasures and dig out various minerals buried underground.
The woman with a flower hairpin was watching the bridge for a long time, but she didn't see a single hair, so she couldn't help but frown.
Smack sex~
The sound of flapping its wings rang out.
The little yellow sparrow flew from the rain curtain, landed in the palm of the young woman with a flower hairpin, and turned into a paper bird again.
After a while, the young woman with the flower hairpin focused her mind, she took a step forward according to the guidance, and her figure had already arrived at the depths of the deserted bone beach, under a mountain.
Dang Dang Dang
The sound of iron tools hitting stones is endless.
The young woman with a flower hairpin looked up and saw that there were scattered buildings under the mountains. Some men wearing simple clothes used utensils to divide the stones in the shacks. The stones were green vine stones, which were the decoration materials that the immortals in Huajunzhou prefer.
Near the building is an open-air quarry. It is raining and no one mines it. There are many utensils inside.
The young woman with a flower hairpin glanced around and saw a monument at the entrance of the quarry, with the double axe emblem of Pofeng City on it, and the lower part was the word "Qu". This is to announce to outsiders that the quarry belongs to the Qu family and is surrounded by Pofeng City.
Green vine stone has been replaced by more comprehensive artificial array stones, but because of its long history, it is still favored by old-school wealthy families. It is considered an "old-minded" type. There are few people who mine and the price is relatively high. It is not surprising that it can be regarded as an immortal industry.
However, Huanggutan is too remote and cannot be transported by Xianjia Ferry. Even if there is a big river nearby, it is very troublesome to transport a large amount of stone out. This small quarry is a bit useless no matter how you look at it.
The young woman with a flower hairpin did not feel the abnormal fluctuations in the world. She guessed that it might be because of a formation that deliberately covered it, so she carefully investigated clues in the mountains near the quarry...—
On the other side, Lanfeng River.
After coming out of Chunchao Lake, walk down the river estuary, exiting the jurisdiction of the sect for three thousand miles, and then reaching the mouth of Lanfeng River.
The Feng Shui treasure land near the wealthy families of immortals cannot be left to outsiders, so the places close to the boundary line of the sect must be barren lands with thin spiritual energy.
However, because Qianqiu Yuefu is located in a good location, it will not be too desolate no matter how bad the surrounding area is. Although there are no decent immortals in the Lanfeng River area, the secular landscapes are worthy of people's stopping.
Under the setting sun in autumn, Zuo Lingquan sat on the bow of a small boat and drifted along the river.
There are Qijun Mountains on both sides of the river. You can occasionally see a Taoist temple, a villa, and some old men with ospreys on the river, passing by on bamboo rafts.
Xie Qiutao and Tang Jingyan sat on the other end and were fishing. Tuanzi learned from the osprey in the fisherman's hand and went into the water to help fish. However, the round and large balls of hair were difficult to dive into the water. No matter how you look, they looked like ducks without necks.
Zuo Lingquan did not pass the time with the two girls fishing, and held a yellowed book in his hand and read it carefully.
There are no handwriting on the cover of the book. The "Caolu Sword Sutra" is a name given by outsiders. The contents do not pay attention to the chapters and style. It seems that it is just a dictation in plain language.
The reason why it is written like this is not that the old sword god is not good at writing, but that the purpose of writing this book is to teach the descendants.
Zuo Lingquan read it briefly. Just from the way of telling the book "no matter in detail", we can see that the old sword god should be a very doting ancestor who devours his descendants. Every word and sentence is heartfelt. Some places feel profound and they can write comments by themselves, for fear that their descendants will not understand.
Such a book of sword-making experience that the old sword god "tells all his money" should be the most treasure of the swordsman, and its weight is no less than any immortal method in the world. Qianqiu Yuefu cannot give it to others.
But after Zuo Lingquan looked carefully, he understood why Qianqiu Yuefu could give him this book very quickly.
The core concept of the whole book is "There is no end to martial arts". You know every word you write, but it is connected to it.
For example, the content in the book is like the top scholar saying to ordinary people:
"You first study hard for ten years to take the exam for the students, then the scholar, and then the juren. When you wait for Chungu High School, you will become the top scorer."
The process is clear, the meaning is simple and easy to understand, but what is the use of knowing it?
Without strong experience accumulation and self-indulgence, I don’t know which leg to take first when the road is placed in front of me, let alone reach the top.
Zuo Lingquan watched it for several days. With his understanding of swordsmanship, he could understand what the old sword god wrote in the early and mid-stage period through his own experience. When he reached the late stage, he was still confused.
However, this book is not useless. Through the experience of this old sword god handbook, Zuo Lingquan at least understands the possibilities of seeking breakthroughs in the future. He cannot apply it according to the cat, but it is not impossible to understand it and transform it into his own understanding.
The boat was drifting with the waves, and the figures on the river bank gradually became fewer, and the sun set on the hills and the sky became dark.
Zuo Lingquan held the book in his hand and was just as he was immersed in his eyes. A gust of fragrant wind suddenly came to his ears, and he gently swept his cheeks along the tips of his hair.
Zuo Lingquan thought it was quiet and anxious, and wanted to "repair at sunset". He smiled and raised his hand to touch it:
"Wait, my husband will finish reading this page."
The skin is greasy when you buy it, and the skin is very textured, but it is not as soft and warm as a quiet person, but cool, like a smooth and nephrite.?
Zuo Lingquan was stunned, and the touch was not as quiet as it was. He turned his head and saw Lingye wearing a gorgeous dress standing behind him at some point, holding his knees, leaning over and leaning in front of him, his cheeks were cold, and he aimed at him with his condescending eyes.
Zuo Lingquan was surprised and before he could say hello, he heard:
Smack
The sound is crisp and loud, and it sounds full of texture and amazing elasticity.
Shangguan Lingye took a breath in pain, stood up suddenly, and looked behind him angrily.
Tang Jingyan was still standing behind her back with her hands raised, with a little dissatisfied on her face and scolded:
"If you come, don't say hello, you will stick your butt at us. Do you know etiquette?"
On the other end of the boat, Xie Qiutao saw Shangguan Lingye. He wanted to say hello, but heard the loud spanking sound, and then quickly shut up and smiled and watched.
The dumplings floating in the river jumped up with a "slam" and rushed into Shangguan Lingye's arms: "Jijiji" kept rubbing, and their wings splashed the three of them with water droplets on their faces.
Shangguan Lingye's eyes were very annoyed. He held the dumpling with one hand and wanted to hit Jingyan's butt with his backhand:
"You woman, really..."
Zuo Lingquan could not let the two wives fight. He quickly got up and hugged Lingye, and rubbed his hands in the painful place:
"Okay, okay, it doesn't hurt, I'll help you clean up her..."??
Shangguan Lingye was embarrassed to take advantage of Xie Qiutao in front of him, and quickly twisted his waist to avoid it:
"Be honest with me, I haven't settled the score with you yet."
Tang Jingwen stepped forward and turned her elbow out, preparing to coax the wet nurse to carry back:
"You still dare to be fierce? Forgot the last time when Xixi called 'good brother'? No matter how arrogant you are, your butt will bloom again later..."
This is really hot and I don’t treat Taotao as an outsider at all.
Qiutao was in front of him, Zuo Lingquan could not follow the yellow voice, and stood between the two of them and said:
"Okay, I'll talk about these things later. Where are the princesses and the others?"
Look left and right.
Shangguan Lingye really wants to eat alone, but Jiang Yi's jealous jar is almost blown up. If she dares to play like this, she will not be the boss in the future. She tilts her head to signal downstream:
"They are waiting in the Yushu Bay in front of you, you can go there first."
Zuo Lingquan looked downstream and saw no trace of the pleasure boat:
"Don't you go there together?"
Shangguan Lingye has been sweet once... No, he must have suffered a crime once, and has not recovered until now. He neither wants to disturb Jiang Yi and Qingwan nor wants Zuo Lingquan to touch him again, and responded:
"You think beautifully, I'll have a good chat with Jing Yan tonight. We will settle our accounts with you tomorrow."
They didn't leave as soon as they met, and Zuo Lingquan didn't say much, nodded and smiled and prepared to go over.
But Lingye raised his hand again when he saw this and stopped him:
"etc."
Zuo Lingquan paused, looking a little confused.
Shangguan Lingye's face was slightly dark, and he signaled to Zuo Lingquan's "The Sword Sutra" in his hand:
"Have you finished reading this book?"
"Oh, not yet, actually I didn't write anything useful. Do you want to read it?"
"I don't want to see it."
Shangguan Lingye slightly conceived the following words: "However, this book was written by my grandfather, who was defeated by me. I heard from Mrs. Xue that she wanted to go back..."
After Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a while, he understood what his wife meant, afraid that he would use it to offer treasures to Miss Qiu and seek credit.
Zuo Lingquan was not interested in Miss Qiu at all, so how could he get the idea of revenge? He handed the book to Lingye:
"Oh, it's just a book, why don't you take it? In the future, if you meet an old friend, if you want to return the object to the original owner, you will return the object to the original owner. If you don't want it, you will use it as a collectible. I will pay you back the interest."
“…”
Shangguan Lingye wanted to confiscate this book that might become a "token of love", but she just saw Zuo Lingquan was very fascinated.
"The Sword Sutra of Caolu" is finally the experience written by the old sword god. Shangguan Lingye does not understand the sword art and does not use it at all, but it will definitely be beneficial to Zuo Lingquan. If it is confiscated, it will be a bit unreasonable.
Shangguan Lingye hesitated and put down his hand blocking the way:
"You can take it, and give it to me after you have figured it out."
Think thoroughly...
To be continued...
