If you look down from a high place.

The Liu family mansion on Xiaogushan is one of the few classical buildings in Longcheng County that is brightly lit all night.

However, not all halls and rooms in the Liu family's mansion can be lit up until dawn.

The quiet round forest on the west side of the mansion is mostly shrouded in deep darkness.

Compared with the main residential area on the southeast side, there is a clear distinction.

Not long ago, Nanxuan Xiaoyuan, which suddenly welcomed guests from Chang'an, was one of the former.

At dawn.

Nanxuan courtyard.

Outside the red wall, on the dark path.

The Jade Fairy wears a bronze mask shaped like a fox's head and is hidden in a large black robe as she walks on the path.

Even though she is in the dark, she still habitually hides herself inconspicuously.

This is the low-key vigilance that I have to develop after being "active" under Yunmeng Jianze's nose for so many years.

It is also the experience gained by the bloody lessons of the senior alchemists who were active on several seashores in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty and were keen on going out to sea to seek immortals again and again.

The Jade Fairy never treats it as child's play.

If you have never seen Yun Mengze's group of secluded female nuns in the Yue language wield swords with your own eyes, you will never be able to understand how difficult and terrifying the Yue Nv Sword is.

How can the evil magicians who are able to confuse the common people keep their secrets secret?

Jade Girl Fairy Er has heard of such a saying.

Under the Cauldron Sword in this world, there are only two types of swords.

One is Yue Nu Sword, and the other is other.

Regarding this point, the Jade Lady Fairy felt that a certain one-armed swordsman in the dark and quiet courtyard next to her had a deeper understanding than she had.

"Bang~"

The Jade Fairy stopped in front of the courtyard gate.

He looked back at the sword furnaces with blazing yellow flames standing on the river bank in the distance, and the morning glow mixed with rose, orange and blue in the sky above.

From her perspective,

The sword furnaces on the distant horizon seemed to be trying hard to give birth to something, maybe it was the red sun, maybe it was another incredible thing.

The real body has not yet appeared, but the colorful morning glow it leaked has already spread all over the southeast corner of the sky.

The bronze fox face silently watched this dawn scene that seemed to foretell something.

There is a hoarse whisper under the Jade Fairy's mask:

"This is a sign of great auspiciousness."

The Jade Fairy, who was going out today and teamed up with the naturally disgusting swordsman to do a dangerous thing, looked a little calmer on her face covered with strange patterns under the mask.

This is not only an opportunity for the Liu family in Longcheng, but also an opportunity for her, the Jade Lady.

No one thought that this small Longcheng County actually contained a legendary and rare swordsmith.

The swordsmith's craftsman's path can be traced, but it has an ancient origin like the Yue Nu's path and the divine magician's path.

Born in the pre-Qin Dynasty in ancient books,

It belongs to one of the nine mythological paths.

However, it is different from the mythological lineage such as the scholar, the alchemist, etc. which have many side lines.

It is even rarer than the Yue Nu Dao Meridian, which has a single line and has been passed down for thousands of years.

As for the reason, some people say that it was a divine punishment that shortened one's life span, while others say that the swordsmith was making wedding clothes for others and had no ability to protect himself, so he was guilty of harboring the sword.

Someone else said.

The single-digit tripods have been almost completely forged into swords over the course of thousands of years.

Naturally there is no need for swordsmiths anymore.

When all the cauldrons are merged into swords, what’s the point of the existence of the Craftsman Dao Lineage?

Outside the gate of Nanxuan courtyard.

The Jade Fairy was silent for a while, then opened the door and entered the hospital.

She was called by the Liu family to meet here, but it seemed that she came a little early.

There is a main room directly opposite the courtyard. The door is closed. Looking inside from the window, a candle is lit.

However, after the noise was heard in the courtyard, the main house showed no intention of opening the door to welcome visitors.

The Jade Fairy gave a cold snort and waited quietly at a stone table in the courtyard.

The main house was still not quiet.

After a while, the sky became brighter. Although it was still dawn, the sky took on a bluish indigo color.

That is to say, when the insects chirped louder and louder in the morning, Liu Ziwen, Liu Zi'an, and Liu Zilin came to the courtyard one after another.

Liu Ziwen was followed by a lame butler.

"master."

Liu Fu held a tray in both hands, his palms motionless.

There was only a jar of wine and three wine glasses on the tray.

There was also a dagger about seven inches lying quietly.

After the five people in the courtyard arrived, they exchanged glances, and finally all looked at the main room with the door closed.

Liu Ziwen stared at it for a moment, and then tentatively called out in the direction of the main house:

"Your Mightiness?"

After a pause, he said again:

"The time has come, it's time to leave... I think my servant brought the message last night and informed Your Excellency."

The voice of a one-armed young man suddenly came from the main room: "If no one informed you in advance, do you think you can just walk in like this?"

Liu Ziwen and his two younger brothers looked at each other, their eyes a little helpless, but they seemed to be used to the character of this weird swordsman.

Ajie’s voice continued to come from the main room:

"Send a shady guy to supervise me. Is this how your Liu family does things?"

"Your Excellency has misunderstood."

Liu Ziwen shook his head, "The Jade Fairy is not here to supervise you, but to assist you in the past."

"Hey, do you want to go over and take a look at the situation? If you find that the target has no guards and is easy to deal with, I won't let you take action and let her solve it by herself, saving this new sword?

"You guys, the Liu family, are really good at doing business."

Liu Ziwen frowned, then relaxed, and smiled:

"Your Excellency has really misunderstood. This Donglin Temple operation is led by you, with the Jade Goddess as the assistant. It is you who should kill the person.

"The main purpose of the Jade Lady Fairy is to help you and deal with some possible troubles. After the beheading, she has other important things to do and will stay at the scene. You can take your beloved sword and leave on your own.

"The terms we negotiated at the pavilion that day are still valid, and we, the Liu family, are on the same page."

The closed door of the main house was quiet for a while. For a while, there was no movement, and the atmosphere in the yard was a little solid.

The Jade Princess Fairy frowned. She felt a little unhappy after being called "something" by Ajie in the room before. Now she saw no reply from the room for a long time.

The Jade Fairy glanced at the silent Liu Ziwen and Liu Zian. She took off her bronze fox mask and raised the corner of her painted mouth into a sneer:

"Forget it, Master Liu, I think this guy just likes to pretend, and he's so unhappy.

"You've already fallen below the level, and you still think of yourself as some kind of genius swordsman. Most probably because I'm afraid that if I follow him, I'll see clearly the fact that he's tough on the outside, strong on the outside, and strong on the inside. I'm so guilty that I can't deceive you of the Liu family's sword."

The swordsman in the room asked: "Please shut up, or get out if you can't."

"If you tell me to shut up, I will shut up. If you tell me to get out, I will get out. Who do you think you are?"

The Jade Fairy sneered at each other, but the posture of her right foot under the black robe quietly changed, with the front foot touching the ground and the back foot arching.

The swordsman in the room clicked his tongue: "You should be slapped."

"Palm mouth? Is one hand enough for someone, but don't even..."

"Bang~bang~"

Following two sounds, the door of the main house was opened from the inside.

The three Liu Ziwen brothers noticed the Jade Lady Fairy beside them, and their words suddenly stopped, but before the three brothers had time to react.

The next second, the entire field of view of their eyes was instantly filled with silvery white light.

The light is very much like moonlight.
