Chapter 52 Fairy Lake

After Chu Nanfeng went south to Wuyi Mountain to find Ma Xilan Wugang, he turned west and went to the many prefectures and counties in the west of Jiangnan. One afternoon, he passed by a village more than 60 miles from Luling, Jizhou. But he felt hungry, so he found the only inn in the village. He went into the shop and ordered some food. While waiting for the restaurant to serve at the dining table on the right side of the hall, he saw a horse stopping at the door of the store.

A young woman in a green skirt jumped off the horse, reached out to hug the little girl sitting in front of the saddle, handed the horse to the waiter who was leading the horse, straddled her bag on her shoulder, held a sword in her left hand, and held the little girl who looked like a five or six in her right hand into the shop. The young woman was about twenty-seven or eight years old, with her hair tied into a ponytail and lowered her back, and tied it with two silver hairpins with pendants; her skin was slightly dark and her face was not decorated with pink, but she saw her simple and beautiful face with a melancholy look.

The little girl seemed to have not yet woken up. After being carried off the horse by the young woman, she rubbed her eyes, looked aggrieved, and pouted her mouth and followed the young woman into the store.

There is a middle aisle in the store, with four square tables on both sides. At this time, Chu Nanfeng was the only one in the store. The young woman looked at the square table against the wall on the left. After ordering some food, the little girl muttered, "Mom, I don't want to go back to my mother-in-law, I want..." But when she saw the young woman's eyes were slightly angry, she murmured, and tears fell as her lips trembled.

The young woman sighed, gently stroked the little girl's hair with her hands, and said softly: "My mother-in-law has taken care of you since she was a child and has been away from her for more than a month. How can you give birth to..."

"I don't want to go back. I want to have a lot of fun with my dad..." the little girl swallowed even more with her tears.

"You have the puppy you like at home and the boat you like to ride. Have you forgotten?" The young woman wiped the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes with her hands and sighed.

The little girl curled her lips and turned her head, "Dad promised Cui'er to ask someone to bring the puppy. There are also boats in the pond at Dad's house. Woo... Why not be with Dad? Why?"

Perhaps because he was afraid that the little girl's screams would disturb others, the young woman looked up and swept Chu Nanfeng and the shopkeeper in the hall. Her haggard face turned even more melancholy. Looking at the crying little girl, she said in a deep voice: "You are young and have something delicious and fun in a month. I forgot to take care of you as a mother-in-law since childhood, so don't you want your mother-in-law?"

The little girl saw the young woman's eyebrows raised and her eyes were stern, but she lowered her head and swallowed even more, and she did not dare to answer.

At this time, the waiter had already brought the food to the table. The young woman picked up a small bowl, picked up some of the three dishes and put them in the bowl, and placed them in front of the little girl, "Eat, you can go on your way when you are full." The little girl thought she was extremely hungry, so she wiped her tears, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

After a while, a sound of horse hooves came from the village road. Chu Nanfeng saw through the store door that four horsemen appeared on the road from the south. Among them, the man in a strong costume jumped off the horse and ran into the store to check. When the young woman saw the man in a strong costume, her face suddenly changed. The man in a strong costume turned around and shouted, "Madam is in this store..."

The three men jumped off the horse after hearing this. One of them was about thirty years old, with a sturdy head, wearing a brocade robe, white face, starry eyebrows, and a very handsome appearance. He quickly walked into the store, and an old man with black robe and a man in costume followed behind him. Seeing the handsome man in, the young woman looked pale and raised the long sword placed on the robe with her left hand, stood up, staring at the handsome man with a sad look, but she didn't say a word.

The little girl put down her chopsticks, smiled and shouted "Dad" and pushed the bench away and ran over. The young woman stretched out her hand to pull her, but the old man in black robe who was walking beside her was numb, her feet became soft, and she sat on the bench.

Chu Nanfeng, who was eating, frowned slightly when he saw this. He saw that the old man in black robe had a state of small spiritual enlightenment, while the young woman was only in the state of Guyuan.

The handsome man squatted down and hugged the little girl, "Do you miss your father?"

The little girl princess smiled and said, "Cui'er misses her father."

"Cui'er and daddy can go back?" said the handsome man.

The little girl named Cui'er nodded happily, suddenly felt something, turned her head to look at the young woman, and said timidly: "Where is that mother? I want her mother to go back together..." When the young woman heard this, her face was mixed with sadness and joy.

The handsome man touched the little girl's face, "Cui'er went back first, mother missed her mother, dad advised your mother to go back together." Cui'er nodded when she heard this, and wanted to walk towards the young woman, but was picked up by the handsome man and handed over to the man behind her, "You two will send the lady back home first..."

Cui'er pulled the sleeves of the handsome man, "Cui'er wants to go with her father..."

The handsome man smiled and said, "Then you wait outside for a while and wait for your father to persuade your mother." He gave a wink at the man who was pretending to behave.

Cui'er let go after hearing this, and was carried out by a man in a pretentious manner. The young woman looked anxious and called out "Cui'er..." and wanted to stop her, but she couldn't break free. But she heard a sound of horse hooves gradually fading away mixed with Cui'er crying, "Dad, Mom..."

The young woman was extremely angry, so she glared coldly at the old man in black robe who held her right hand, turned to the handsome man and said hatefully: "Qi Zhousheng, you know that Cui'er lives by the lake with me, fishing and farming, and lives a poor life. So for more than a month, you have been deliberately seducing her with delicious and fun things, and they are almost inseparable from her, just to make her forget her mother-in-law... Isn't it?" Two lines of clear tears had already slipped down during her words.

The handsome man who called Qi Zhousheng turned slightly red, "How can you say this? Why did you leave without saying goodbye overnight? If you miss your mother-in-law, I will send someone to Shaozhou."

Chu Nanfeng was already unhappy when he saw the old man in black robe bullying the young woman's pulse with his strong force, but he thought it was someone else's family affairs, so he was inconvenient to rescue him. He heard this and was shocked. Shaozhou was in the Southern Han Dynasty, nearly 700 miles away from this place. The young woman took her daughter away overnight, and probably felt extremely wronged.

"Haha..." the young woman smiled sadly: "Do you want your mother-in-law to go to Shaozhou... It's so convenient to kill her with me?"

Qi Zhousheng was shocked and said, "Why did your wife say this? How could you hurt your mother-in-law and you..."

The young woman sneered, "Hehe, when I return, I must have fulfilled my wish... If I don't leave, how can I be destined at this time?"

Qi Zhousheng's face turned pale and he said in a lost voice: "You...that letter..."

"I think I guess it's right... Cui'er has taken it away. If you want to kill it now, she doesn't know who killed her mother..." The young woman's face was also pale, paused for a moment, and said with a sad smile: "If you don't dare to take action in front of everyone, you can take me to a remote place to kill you."

A trace of gloom flashed across Qi Zhousheng's handsome face. He glanced at Chu Nanfeng with a calm expression, the shopkeeper and others with panic-looking faces, and said to the old man in black robe: "Let go of your wife."

The old man hesitated for a moment, let go of the young woman's pulse, and retreated to Qi Zhousheng.

"My wife thinks it's a misunderstanding..." Qi Zhousheng saw that the young woman looked contemptuous, but couldn't speak. He shook his head, sighed, and called the old man in black robe to turn around and rode away together.

The young woman's lips trembled, her face was filled with grief and anger. She heard the sound of horse hooves away, and she couldn't control herself. She burst into tears in an instant. She pressed the square table and moved her steps, and staggered out of the store. Seeing this, the waiter wanted to speak, and looked at the shopkeeper at the counter. The shopkeeper thought he was a kind person and sighed: "Just get the horse and the lady... let's forget about the silver for food, hey."

The waiter was stunned, sighed, and then went to the backyard to pick up the horse.

Chu Nanfeng stood up, came to the counter, handed the silver ingot in his hand to the shopkeeper who had broken with his qi. The silver was as heavy as one tael. With the cost of his meal, it was more than enough to give the first half of the ingot. The shopkeeper was surprised, and Chu Nanfeng pointed to the food on the young woman's table, "Let's count it together." After saying that, he turned around and stepped out.

He shook off the silver ingot and wanted to use it as a hidden weapon. As long as the old man in black robe or Qi Zhousheng committed a murder against the young woman, he would rescue him.

In front of the inn, I saw the young woman taking the horse, but she also took out a string of copper coins from her waist and handed it to the waiter, and turned over and headed north.

Chu Nanfeng shook his head with a wry smile, and then walked northward. He climbed the mountain and rode a horse with many inconveniences. Moreover, with his cultivation and skill, his speed was not inferior to that of a horse that traveled thousands of miles a day.

After leaving the village, I had been walking for about half an incense stick, but when I heard the sound of horse hooves behind me, I rode a fast horse and galloped past. The person on the horse was Qi Zhousheng who was seen in the inn. Chu Nanfeng thought about it and then raised his energy to follow and followed him.

After galloping for a cup of tea, he saw Qi Zhousheng chasing the young woman on the roadside on a hillside. When the young woman saw Qi Zhousheng chasing, she gathered the reins and dismounted the horse. She looked at Qi Zhousheng with a pale face and said tragically: "You will finally decide to kill me."

Qi Zhousheng was silent for a moment, and the young woman said coldly: "Eighteen years ago, both your parents died. My mother took you in. My family saved money to help you practice literature and martial arts. When I was in love with Cui'er, you left home to join the army, but the news was not with you... For six years, I have adhered to my wife's deeds, fishing and farming with my mother to pull Cui'er to grow up. I burned incense and worshiped Buddha every day, and prayed for you to be safe outside..." When I said this, tears fell like rain.

He wiped away the tears in his throat, looked at Qi Zhousheng, who looked a little ashamed on his face, and said angrily: "But you have been treated ungratefully. If Cui'er hadn't accidentally shown the letter from the study to me that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't know your wolf dog's heart until I die..."

"Your husband should know the kindness of your encounter, and you should be like a re-creation. I have a sick eye and cannot tolerate a grain of sand. I hope you will be merciful. When I return, I must have fulfilled my wish... Humph, this letter is written so hard that I can't see blood. I guess I guess I'm guessing for a long time. Hehe, what kind of tooth you are like in Shaozhou? I guess you are given by the evil woman's skirt?"

Qi Zhousheng's face turned red when he heard this, and he said quietly: "Smell the fragrance...I..."

"At that time, I thought, if you want to marry another concubine, why have you been going for six years and come back to find me... But I thought that Nan Han was a female eunuch in power, and then I realized that you were coming for Cui'er. The evil woman didn't want to have a child, so you had this vicious idea, kill me and take my child, right?"

"The kindness of knowing the favor... Haha, it is you who are greedy for wealth and prosperity? What about my mother's kindness for you? What about my love for me, Xu Wenxiang, to bring you porridge and tea?" The young woman called Xu Wenxiang said coldly.

Qi Zhousheng thought he was speechless, and was silent for a long time. He sighed to the sky, "It's me that I am ashamed of my wife. As long as I swear that I won't go looking for Cui'er from now on, I...I..."

"You won't kill me today, right? Hehe, Cui'er is the flesh in my heart, how can she learn bad things with you, a wolf-hearted disciple..." Xu Wenxiang slowly pulled out his long sword and said with a clear expression: "If I don't die today, I will go back to Cui'er."

When Qi Zhousheng saw Xu Wenxiang step forward with a sword, he murmured, "Don't force me...Don't force me..." But he had already drawn the sword in his hand and stabbed it out.

Chu Nanfeng, who was hiding on the slope, sneered in his heart and was about to shoot out the leaves in his hand, but when he saw Xu Wenxiang's move to greet him, he couldn't help but feel shocked. It turned out that this move was a unique skill of Ma Xilan's master, the move "Taisu Eleven Swords" "Taowu Tanhua".

Qi Zhousheng's cultivation level is a great achievement of Guizhen, which is better than Xu Wenxiang's Guyuan realm. Seeing Xu Wenxiang's sword coming, the sword-like transformation was unpredictable, and he was a little shocked. Seeing that she lacked aura, she did not change her moves. The long sword still advanced and stabbed Xu Wenxiang's face. It was thought that it was better than Xu Wenxiang's skill, and she could defeat thousands of tricks with one force.

Seeing this, Xu Wenxiang flashed to the left, raised his sword with a deep wrist and hit it with one move. He heard two "dang, dang" sounds, but he picked up Qi Zhousheng's long sword. The sword flower rose, and the remaining momentum cut off Qi Zhousheng's wrist.

Qi Zhousheng was shocked, took a step back, and said with a look of surprise: "Where did you learn this sword technique?"

It turned out that when he first learned swordsmanship in a Taoist temple in Mengshan, he learned a few tricks from Xu Wenxiang as a way to defend himself. Unexpectedly, Xu Wenxiang's sword skills were wonderful at this time, but he had never seen them before. He was surprised and asked.

Xu Wenxiang didn't answer, but then attacked with a sword, and the light and shadow were impeccable. Qi Zhousheng snorted coldly, stabbed his sword out, and the sword light swung, and the sword intent gathered into a ball of air, but it cut into Xu Wenxiang's move.

Even though Xu Wenxiang's sword moves were sophisticated that he had changed his sword, he saw Xun. After Qi Zhousheng broke into the sword pose, he saw that the remaining momentum of the sword was coming, and he had to dodge and retreat quickly.

Qi Zhousheng was in power and refused to forgive him. When she was taking the move, the hollow gate appeared in front of her and another sword stabbed out. Xu Wenxiang saw the sword light everywhere, but she didn't know where the sword was stabbed. She was shocked, but she heard a sound, "Retreat the Kun position, gathering smoke into clouds..."

She had practiced this move "Gathering Smoke into Clouds" for thousands of times. When she heard this, her mind was already born, and her body retreated to the northwest. She used it with a move "Gathering Smoke into Clouds". The tip of the sword hit Qi Zhousheng's sword body that stabbed the sword.

With a crisp sound of "Dang", I heard the sound of "Step on the palace, push the clouds and see the moon", and then stepped forward and slashed out horizontally. Qi Zhousheng was about to change his move, but when he saw a ball of sword energy hitting his neck, he quickly raised his sword in front of him and retreated quickly. With a "Dang" sound, he blocked Xu Wenxiang's sword.

"The qi turns into beads, and the water drips waves..." In the voice, Xu Wenxiang's sword shapes rose up layer by layer, and the sword energy was everywhere. Although Qi Zhousheng wanted to rely on the strong energy to win, Xu Wenxiang was guided by someone at this time. His sword moves changed very quickly, and he took the initiative to attack him. He had to save him, but he had to resist. He also thought that the person who gave the advice must be Xu Wenxiang's helper. He was shocked and hurriedly retreated backwards.

Xu Wenxiang was weak and Qi Zhousheng was not as fast as him to pursue him. Qi Zhousheng retreated quickly, but he also opened a distance of nearly a few feet. After a certain stop, he saw Xu Wenxiang's remaining momentum was about to disappear, but he shouted loudly and the sword was slashed out. His sword was not good at all, but he devoted all the power of the Return Realm cultivation. He wanted to force Xu Wenxiang to open and snatch the horse and escape. Seeing that the tip of the sword was close to two feet in front of Xu Wenxiang, the sound rang again: "Enjoy the Xun position, weaving silk net..."

Qi Zhousheng felt a gust of sword energy coming to his right chest, so he had to turn sideways and flash to the left. A gust of cold wind blew by his right flank, barely avoiding Xu Wenxiang's attack, and cold sweat suddenly came out. It turned out that the flaw of his sword was on the right flank.

As soon as he stood still, he heard another sound of "Tipping needles and threading the ice to get water". Qi Zhousheng saw the sword light blooming like a flower, and the sword energy hit the face. In his busy schedule, he met with a sword, but he felt a sharp pain in his right wrist, but the sword could not control it. When he escaped, a cold light flashed in front of him, and the sword was already crossing the left shoulder. But he felt that the sword blade pressed against his neck was cold and penetrated his heart. Qi Zhousheng suddenly felt a soul rising from his dead, sweating in a cold voice, and said in a trembling voice: "Smell the fragrance... Madam..." His face was full of horror.

Looking at the person who had been thinking about day and night in front of me for the past six years, Xu Wenxiang was very sad and angry, and two lines of tears fell, but thinking about the days when the couple spent the past, it was even more sad.

In a daze, a middle-aged scholar fell quietly behind Qi Zhousheng, but he was the person who had just eaten at the table next to the inn. He knew that he was giving advice to him. In amazement, he nodded with gratitude and said coldly to Qi Zhousheng: "If you and I are in a state of change, will you... kill me?"

Chu Nanfeng sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, knowing that Xu Wenxiang had no intention of killing Qi Zhousheng. He asked this question just to find a reason for not killing him. He only heard Qi Zhousheng say, "How can you think of killing a wife for your husband? You have never had this heart for your husband. If your husband doesn't believe it, I can swear for you..."

"I've never had this intention. Humph, if it weren't for Cui'er, I... I'll kill you beast with one sword." Xu Wenxiang said with a hatred.

"Cui'er... Yes, yes, my wife asked me to go back, and I will send someone to send Cui'er back immediately..." Qi Zhousheng looked at the long sword with a cold light and swallowed his saliva.

Xu Wenxiang thought that Cui'er had been gone for nearly two hours, and it was impossible to chase him. However, if Xu Zhou was worried about the fact that he was a wolf-hearted person, he would definitely be untrustworthy and did not know what to do for a moment, so he couldn't help but look at Chu Nanfeng.

Chu Nanfeng put his hands on his back and looked up at the sky, but he felt Xu Wenxiang look at him, sighed, and came to Qi Zhousheng's side. With his right hand, Qi Zhousheng felt that the energy in his body was slow, and a cold voice sounded in his ears: "In five days, I will send my little girl to her mother, and I will recover your energy from you..."

Qi Zhousheng looked sideways and saw the middle-aged scholar seen in the inn. He was surprised and was about to nod, but his neck was cold. Xu Wenxiang's long sword did not withdraw, and he couldn't help but look begging. Xu Wenxiang was silent for a moment, sighed, and finally took the long sword back.

Qi Zhousheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to Chu Nanfeng and said, "I'll do it now." He clasped his fists and was bleeding from his right wrist. Seeing Chu Nanfeng nodding, he was delighted and turned around and ran to his mount. He pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, barely rolled over the horse, clamped his legs, urging the horse to escape.

Looking at Qi Zhousheng's distant back, Xu Wenxiang was stunned for a while, shook her head silently, and turned to Chu Nanfeng to thank him, but when Chu Nanfeng first asked, "Who taught you your sword technique?"

She was guided by Chu Nanfeng and was better than Qi Zhousheng. She was also surprised that Chu Nanfeng was familiar with his sword skills. After hearing this, she hurriedly bowed and said, "My younger brother Xu Wenxiang has met his benefactor, and my younger brother learned his sword skills from the fairy temple on Longwang Island..."

"Dragon King Island? Fairy House?" Chu Nanfeng was stunned and asked again: "Is your master a monk?"

Xu Wenxiang shook her head: "My master has not become a monk."

"Then...what's her name?" Chu Nanfeng felt his heart boiling, and the longing that had been hidden in his heart for more than ten years fluctuated.

Xu Wenxiang saw Chu Nanfeng's anxious expression, and was shocked and suspicious, and hurriedly responded: "I don't know the name of my master, but I only heard that the master in the temple called her as Mr. Chu..."

"Mr. Chu? Then... how old is she and how does she look?" The voice was already trembling. Even though Chu Nanfeng had reached the state of Nascent Soul, he could not help but feel excited.

"The master wears a hat all year round, but he can't see his true face. However, according to the younger generation, the skin on his hands, his age... seems to be in his fifties..."

"A 50-tenths." Chu Nanfeng's heart suddenly sank. Xu Wenxiang's last words were like a basin of cold water pouring over his head. If it were said that Ma Xilan was 39 years old at this time, and most of the women who did not do farming and housework had delicate hands, but Xu Wenxiang judged that it was 50-tenths, which showed that her skin was rough... for a moment, she was confused.

Xu Wenxiang saw that he was pondering but did not dare to disturb him. After a long time, Chu Nanfeng asked: "Where is Dragon King Island?"

"In the southwest of Xinyu City, my hometown of my younger generation, in Fairy Lake, there are about two hundred miles to go from here..."

"Fairy Lake?" Chu Nanfeng was shocked and suddenly remembered the verse of a fairy shadow in a thousand mountains and rivers. He faintly felt that Ma Xilan might be the master in Xu Wenxiang's mouth.

He banned Qi Zhousheng's martial arts and Qi Zhi. Ben Yesheng went to her hometown with Xu Wenxiang so that the ban on Qi Zhousheng should be lifted in five days. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to Fairy Lake."

Xu Wenxiang saw that Chu Nanfeng was familiar with his master's swordsmanship, and he was not sure whether he was the elders of his master's sect. He was overjoyed when he heard this: "I obey the order."

Looking around, I saw only one mount I rode on. I felt puzzled and said, "My benefactor's mount?"

Chu Nanfeng smiled faintly when he heard this, but signaled Xu Wenxiang to get on the horse. Then he approached the mount, slapped the horse's back with his hand, urged the horse to gallop. When his body moved, he walked side by side with Xu Wenxiang, who was galloping on the horse, but Xu Wenxiang was secretly shocked and admired her.

When he arrived at the small village west of Xiannv Lake, it was almost Xu hour. Xu Wenxiang led Chu Nanfeng to the gate of a fence wall and pushed open the half-person-high wooden door: "My benefactor, please come in..." Then he walked towards the door of the main house with the lights and said, "Mom, I'm back."

Then he saw a woman over 50 years old walking out, looking at Chu Nanfeng with a suspicious face, and said to Xu Wenxiang: "Why are you back? Where are Cui'er? Where are Zhousheng?"

Xu Wenxiang sighed and hurriedly helped her mother into the house, thinking that she wanted to tell the story. After a long time, she saw the two of them coming out. But when Xu's mother came to Chu Nanfeng with tears in her eyes, she swallowed even more, but she wanted to kneel down and thank her. Chu Nanfeng saw this and hurriedly stopped her: "You must not do this..."

"If it weren't for the help of my benefactor, my mother and I would never see each other again in this life... This beast hasn't seen each other for a few years, but it has become so vicious..." Xu's mother was so sad that she felt so sad that she thought of something. She paused and said to Xu Wenxiang: "My benefactor should be hungry. Xiang'er, let's get some food with her benefactor..."
