"You can pick lotuses in the south of the Yangtze River. There are fields of lotus leaves. Fish play among the lotus leaves."

The lotus leaves are to the east, the lotus leaves are to the west, the lotus leaves are to the south, the lotus leaves are to the north..."

A soft and melodious song floated on the misty and rainy lake. There were lotus leaves all around, high and low, forming a boundless yellow-green. A small boat was sailing on the South Lake of Jiaxing, with several girls picking lotus on it.

Laughing playfully.

This festival is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the lotus leaves are gradually dying and the lotus flesh is full, it is a good time to pick lotus.

Lotus-picking girls have many lotus-picking songs, such as Ouyang Xiu's "Die Lian Hua" or the Southern Dynasty's "Xizhou Song", but songs like "Jiangnan" are a bit funny when sung.

"Taoist Master, even a three-year-old can sing this song..." That girl was only nine years old, and she had a cousin with her. They were in the same grade.

There were two little lolita as companions, teasing them all the way, so it wasn't too boring. Yin Zhiping picked off a lotus pod, tore open the lotus chamber with his hands, peeled out a dozen lotus seeds and held them in the palm of his hand.

I saw him close his palms together and wave them gently, and when he spread them out, he blew, and the green skin of the lotus seeds flew up.

"The Taoist Master is so awesome!" The smaller Lolita clapped her hands with a look of admiration on her face.

The older Loli pursed her lips and said like a little adult: "Taoist priest, your skills are not bad, but it's just for coaxing children to play, it's a bit childish..."

A very brief flash of blush flashed across Yin Zhiping's face, but it returned to normal in an instant, leaving no trace at all.

"Ahem, sister, keep laughing. I'll see if you two can still laugh later." Yin Zhiping cursed.

The boat rowed across the turquoise lake, the water and sky were the same color, silent, shrouded in mist and rain, it was as beautiful as a picture scroll.

But there is a small island in the middle of the lake, with a manor built on it called Lujiazhuang.

There are thousands of Lujiazhuangs in the south of the Yangtze River, but only two are recognized by people in the martial arts world. One is the Lujiazhuang in Taihu Lake, and its owner is named Lu Chengfeng; the other is the Lujiazhuang in Nanhu, Jiaxing, and its owner Lu Zhanyuan is also a member of the martial arts world.

The number one person.

"Taoist Priest, my house has arrived." The smaller Lolita was dressed in white and had her hair tied with a silver ring. She was the eldest lady of Lujiazhuang, named Wushuang.

And her cousin, wearing a light green shirt, is also a cousin from Lujiazhuang, named Cheng Ying.

Although these two are young, they already have a tendency to be pretty and handsome.

Yin Zhiping was looking for a boat in Nanhu Lake to go to Lujiazhuang, and he met these two little lolita on the lake. Across the ten-foot-wide lake, he waded into their boat on tiptoe.

However, Lu Wushuang thought the song he sang was unpleasant and made fun of him. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest really "embarrassed" the two little girls.

Cheng Ying was a few months older, but more stable. Once he found out that Yin Zhiping was a second-generation disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, he felt some respect in his heart.

The Quanzhen Sect is the well-deserved leader in the martial arts world, and neither the good nor the evil dare to offend easily. Cheng Ying heard that the Taoist priest came to visit the owner of the Lu family village, so he reported his identity and planned to take him to his door.

"After all, they are children. Although they look like adults, they are still a bit tender." Yin Zhiping thought in his mind that if he had ulterior motives and lied about his origins, then these two little girls might not even know they were sold.

This Lujiazhuang surrounds the lake with a pond, and many lotus flowers are planted in front of the manor. As soon as they step ashore, the fragrance is astounding.

"Taoist Master, please come this way!" Cheng Ying led the way, moving lightly, looking like a lady.

On the other hand, Lu Wushuang had a lively temperament and always jumped up and down when walking.

"Dad, I'm back!" Lu Wushuang shouted happily.

If it were normal, the maids and servants in the village would have come out to greet him. But on this day, no one came out.

Cheng Ying frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, and hurried to the village.

When she walked in, she saw her uncle, Lu Liding, leaning on a single sword and looking at the wall in front of the door in a daze.

Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying both looked at the long white wall and saw nine terrifying bloody handprints printed on it, and they were still bleeding.

"Ah!" Lu Wushuang was frightened and shouted.

Only then did Lu Liding wake up from his sluggish state. He quickly stood up and walked forward with a concerned look on his face: "Wushuang, are you okay?"

Lu Wushuang's face turned pale with fright, and she shook her little head. Born in a martial arts family, how could she not know the meaning of the bloody handprints, that is, the extremely powerful enemy back then was looking for her!

Lu Li Ding hugged Lu Wushuang behind him and looked at Cheng Ying again, "Ying'er, go to the house quickly!"

Cheng Ying was not too panicked. She looked carefully at the nine bloody handprints and slowly said, "Uncle, is this left by the female devil?"

Lu Liding was stunned. He had never told his children about this. But Cheng Ying had been smart since she was a child, so she must have gotten clues from the adults' conversations.

"Alas!" Lu Liding sighed, "My brother said before he died that he had an enemy named Red Lian Fairy Li Mochou. She was extremely skilled in martial arts and was even crueler in her actions. He had a ten-year agreement with her.

Get up, today is the tenth year!"

The red-trained fairy Li Mochou is notorious in the world. A well-known figure on the martial arts blood list, walking between the black and white paths, killing countless martial arts masters with his martial arts and poison skills. Therefore, there is a red-faced fairy.

The title of Practicing Fairy is that of a first-rate female devil.

"My uncle and aunt are already dead, why does she come here to seek revenge? Dad, let's make things clear to her..." Lu Wushuang said innocently.

Lu Liding touched Lu Wushuang's head, smiled bitterly, pointed to the bloody fingerprints on the wall and said, "Before Fairy Chi Lian kills someone, she will definitely leave bloody fingerprints in the other person's home. A bloody fingerprint is a life. But I, Lu Family Village,

Counting the long-term workers and maids, there are only seven of them, so why does she have nine bloody fingerprints? Doesn’t she know that my brother and sister-in-law are dead..."

Lu Li Ding's martial arts were all taught by Lu Zhanyuan. Although he had practiced diligently over the years, he was still only at a second-rate level. He was no match for the long-famous Fairy Chi Lian. Therefore, Lu Li Ding felt desperate and lost his composure.

, not even the big living person standing in front of the door noticed.

"Uncle, this is Taoist Master Yin of the Quanzhen Sect." Cheng Ying remembered Yin Zhiping who had been standing at the door and reminded Lu Liding.

Lu Liding was facing the disaster of exterminating his family, so he was still in the mood to receive guests. But when he heard Cheng Ying say that he was a member of the Quanzhen Sect, a fire of hope ignited in his heart.

He looked up and down at this young Taoist priest. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, but he was only in his early twenties.

Alas! Lu Liding sighed in his heart. Such a young Taoist priest, even if he came from Zhongnan Mountain, would probably not be able to make any difference.

"Taoist Master Yin, please forgive me for being rude. This happened suddenly. I offended many of you, so please forgive me." Lu Liding said, waving his hand to indicate that Yin Zhiping could come inside.

"I wonder who the elder master is?" Lu Liding inquired with a smile.

Yin Zhiping glanced at Lu Liding and knew that he was not good at martial arts and his eyesight was also very poor.

"My teacher Chang Chunzi."

Lu Liding was shocked and quickly served the tea: "Disrespect! Disrespect! It turns out to be the disciple of Immortal Changchun!"

The status of the Quanzhen Seven Sons in the martial arts world can be described as Mount Taishan and Beidou. Ever since Wang Chongyang won the first place among the five martial arts in the first Huashan Swordsmanship, the Quanzhen Sect has been rising with the tide, surpassing the Beggars Shaolin to become the first in the world of martial arts.

After the death of Wang Chongyang, the seven Quanzhen sons under him were able to take charge of their own affairs, and each one of them was a master-level figure.

Lu Liding picked up the tea bowl, made a gesture of invitation, and asked casually: "I wonder where Changchunzi is?"

He thought Changchunzi was also nearby. If so, then his Lujiazhuang would be saved.

But the answer given by Yin Zhiping disappointed him.

Yin Zhiping blew the teacup and took a sip of Biluochun. "My master is still traveling in the north. This time I came down to Jiangnan alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Zhiping heard a slight sigh from him.

Lu Liding smiled far-fetchedly and said: "That's it...Although I don't know why the director is here, the Taoist priest has also seen this situation...I have enemies in Lujiazhuang, so it is really inconvenient to have guests."

, I’m afraid it will implicate the Taoist priest..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yin Zhiping's "Hey".

"To hoe the strong and support the weak, to eradicate violence and bring peace to the good, to eliminate demons and defend the law... this is my life's ambition. I dare not forget my tutor's education. To tell you the truth, I came down to Jiangnan this time just for this kind of thing.

.”

Yin Zhiping said, pointing to the nine bloody handprints.

"Oh?" Lu Liding was shocked. Others would avoid it if they encountered this, but Taoist Master Yin did the opposite. He is truly chivalrous and benevolent, no wonder the Quanzhen Sect can become the leader of the martial arts world!

Lu Liding clasped his fists in emotion and said: "Thank you Taoist Master for your kindness... It's just that Fairy Chi Lian has vicious methods and strong martial arts skills. Countless martial arts masters have lost their lives to her over the years. I really don't dare to implicate Dao in this matter."

long......"

"Hey!" Yin Zhiping said with a look of displeasure, "I don't like hearing what you are saying. Do you think I can't beat that Li Mochou? Or do you doubt the martial arts that I teach Quanzhen?"

Lu Liding choked up and quickly confessed.

In this world, the most taboo thing is to doubt other people's sect. If you only offend one person, you still have a way to survive; but if you insult his sect, you will face the vendetta of thousands of disciples.

Especially for a big force like the Quanzhen Sect, who would dare to offend someone easily?

Lu Liding could only smile bitterly, but Li Mochou's martial arts was very high. Taoist Master Yin was only in his early twenties. Even if he had started practicing martial arts since his mother's womb, he would never be Li Mochou's opponent. What's more, the martial arts of the Quanzhen Religion

They all become more powerful as they go forward, and they really don’t have much of an advantage in the early stages.

But Yin Zhiping was so determined that Lu Liding did not dare to make excuses anymore.

Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang were overjoyed to see that Taoist Master Yin was willing to stay and help. They had seen Taoist Master Yin's kung fu on the lake, and he was a "master" at least. Although they didn't know how powerful he was, he and Lu Liding worked together to fight one against the other.

, there is always no problem, right?

"Taoist Master, Li Mochou will come to your door later. My wife, I, and the three Taoist priests will fight against the enemy together. If we are still defeated, my wife and I will hold her off. I hope the Taoist priest can take me with him.

Let the two women avoid being poisoned." While the two were discussing, Lu Liding looked at the two women in front of the court and whispered.

In fact, Yin Zhiping didn't plan to fight three against one at all. What he meant was that he wanted to meet Fairy Chi Lian alone for a while. But Lu Liding didn't believe him, and he didn't bother to explain. He just listened to him talking here silently, quietly.

Waiting for the arrival of the Taoist nun.

At this moment, a loud shout came from the backyard.

Lu Liding stood up suddenly, thinking that it was Li Mochou who had arrived. But when he went to the court to take a look, he found that it was Li Mochou who had arrived.
