When it comes to cruelty and ruthlessness, it must be the crown prince Xu Chengdi.
But when it comes to playfulness, Xu Luo is not one of them.
I originally avoided Siyue Lake and took the waterway after the Second Peak, but the princess insisted on dragging the fat man to go to Siyue Lake, which Concubine Ye even praised. She didn't care at all about her brother's kingship ceremony.
Don't even care.
Xu Chengdi, who had long considered this point, specifically ordered Qinghu Zhang Ning to stay and do the urging.
The night before arriving at Siyue Lake, Xu Qingmu found Zhang Ning, took out the portrait given by the veteran guarding the tomb at the end of Mingfeng Village from something nearby, handed it to Zhang Ning, and conveyed the veteran's words.
One of the legendary four tigers with a very murderous spirit looked ashamed, lowered his head and said to Xu Qingmu: "Thank you."
Xu Qingmu returned the salute with clasped fists.
Zhang Ningzai looked at the person in front of him carefully. There was a bit of heroism in his eyes that were stained by the battle at the frontier. His eyebrows were slightly wrinkled when he was thinking, and the hairpin on his head gave him a bit of a scholarly air.
Zhang Ning felt from the bottom of his heart that Xu Qingmu should study literature rather than learn martial arts and go to the frontier wilderness to fight with people. Or be a swordsman in the Jianghu and live happily with a sword. No matter what, it is better than being in the temple where people are not ancient and accompanying you like a tiger.
Be good.
So he asked: "Xu Qingmu, you just want to be a soldier for the rest of your life?"
Xu Qingmu, who was thinking about people and things, raised his head: "I didn't think about it."
Xu Qingmu thought of the young master in the east chamber.
A year ago when I was fifteen, the junior master went to the east chamber in a rage. He went to the military camp alone. After asking who Xu Qingmu was, he grabbed Xu Qingmu by the collar despite everyone's obstruction and asked loudly why he didn't go up the mountain to marry her.
she.
Everyone was confused, but they were also happy to watch the joke. Cao Tong even brought chairs and melon seeds, eating them while watching, and occasionally making noises. After the junior master Tai Yuyuan determined that Xu Qingmu’s body was filled with thirty-six weeks of innocence.
After disappearing, Xu Qingmu was asked the same question:
"Are you willing to be a soldier for the rest of your life?"
Xu Qingmu rejected the idea of going to the east chamber with his junior master Yu Yuan to get married. Firstly, he really didn't like being a monk and meditate by ringing the bell. Secondly, it was because of the young monk Shouyuan.
He said she was his greatest Zen.
Zhang Ning put the heavy ax aside and took out the portrait that Xu Qingmu handed over, his eyes were a little wet:
"My dad, he is right."
Xu Qingmu glanced at the portrait. Xu Qingmu had not opened it without permission from the owner before. At the bottom of the portrait was written: I wish my son Zhang Ning an ordinary life.
"My father has been a soldier all his life, and I have been deeply influenced by it. I have been eager to join the army and make contributions since I was a child. A man should be in charge of the weapons in his hands, raising the backbone of the country at the top, and protecting the peace around him at the bottom. Xu Qingmu, is this wrong?"
Xu Qingmu lowered his head, that's right.
"So my father and I had a quarrel, and out of anger we joined the army. The upright and honest dynasties alternated, and the war continued."
"From then on, I vowed to make some achievements and show them to my father when I went back. But as time went by, my heart became more and more confused. Even if I was in a high position, even if I had thousands of soldiers, I couldn't resist the killing in my heart.
The pain made me feel more and more that my father was right, and I became even less afraid to go back."
Zhang Ning sighed and continued:
"The world only knows that Qinghu Zhang Ning likes to torture women and suck human milk. Little does anyone know that the flies and dogs above the temple, who understands?"
He turned to Xu Qingmu and smiled: "Do you believe it?"
Xu Qingmu straightened Chou Li in his hand. The sword became sharper and sharper. In the past four years, the two sword-sharpening stones had completely disappeared. Xu Qingmu could feel that the quality of the sword was getting higher and higher, and it was more spiritual to use.
"I believe it, but I don't believe it either. I believe it because I have heard this sentence mentioned by many people, and it makes sense. Otherwise, how can it resonate?"
"I don't believe it because I have no personal experience. When I was a child, many elders thought highly of themselves and wanted to use personal experience to warn the younger generations which way is right and which way is wrong. I never felt that what they said was wrong.
I just want to take a walk and take a look, at least to have a clearer mind."
"I joined the army with the awe-inspiring righteousness of serving the country, but also with some personal thoughts that I disdain to say. If the temple is in chaos, I will resign and hide in the mountains and forests, and be the one picking chrysanthemums at the foot of the southern mountain. If my heart is as high as the sky, I will keep the company of tigers.
Be careful to support the water-covered boat."
"That's all right, isn't it?"
Qing Hu, who was regarded as extremely abnormal in the eyes of the world, was confused by Feng Sha.
"Yes, both are correct."
…………
By the time a group of people entered Siyue Lake, it was already a foggy morning.
Fog is very common in winter, especially near the lake. Xu Qingmu couldn't stand Princess Xu Luo's grinding efforts, so she had to call a few followers, got off the boat with the fat man, and walked on the shore in the thick fog.
.
Li Chengru, who originally promised to only protect Xu Qingmu for three months, luckily did not leave after finding the thing on the bottom of the sea. When nothing happened, he and Xu Qingmu entered the secret cave of Baijing, one practiced sword practice, and the other alone
Sitting on a dry grave.
Xu Luo had a quick temper and had a very good relationship with Li Chengru. He once saw Li Chengru splitting a boulder with a branch and then grinding Li Chengru to learn the sword. But Li Chengru only said that it was a trick and not worth learning.
Strange to say, Li Chengru repeatedly licked his face to teach Cao Tong, who neither watched nor learned, but did not teach the equally cute and interesting princess Xu Luo at all.
A group of people were walking along the shore. When they passed by the monument with Ye Fei's inscription, the fat man lowered his voice and leaned down to whisper in Xu Luo's ear. Looking at Xu Luo who looked over from time to time, Xu Qingmu sighed in her heart:
The contention with that little monk is still in my memory.
I don’t know if the little monk has put on new shoes.
I don’t even know whether Shouyuan, who practices Zen, has maintained Zen.
Just when Xu Qingmu's mind was turning, an extremely tricky sword energy followed the gap in the crowd and struck Xu Qingmu directly. After fighting in the border fortress for so many years, Xu Qingmu was extremely sensitive to danger. Xu Qingmu instantly pulled out Chouli and held the sword with one hand.
, a rounded upward curve from top to bottom, with sparks flying everywhere.
A group of soldiers with the character "乂" standing around were standing with spears, grouping a few people together. A sound of "enemy attack" broke the silence of the morning.
Qi Chunfeng moved faster. After the sword energy flew over, he was already standing in front of Xu Qingmu, holding a painting fan and swinging the jade back and forth around his waist.
As the torches gradually lit up around Siyue Lake, Xu Qingmu took advantage of the firelight to see clearly the person coming: a young man who was no more than twenty years old.
The lake had frozen over. The man stuck a bamboo pole upright on the ice and squatted on the top of the bamboo pole, looking at himself with a smile. Standing next to him was a sword-wielding boy of the same age.
"Ye Family Sword Tomb?"
Xu Qingmu knew it in his heart. After the battle with Prince Xu Pei, Li Chengru went to the Ye Family Sword Tomb with his sword and asked Xu Qingmu for a contract that "the elders will not interfere within ten years."
The man jumped off the bamboo pole and said to Li Chengru: "Lord Wen Sheng, do you still remember the contract we made? I, Ye Fanchen, am not yet twenty and have not been approved by the Elder Hall, but I am still a generation younger.
"
Xu Qingmu grinned.
Ye Fanchen is a genius of the Seventh Realm who can turn the tide with his sword. After Ye Li, he is the leader of the younger generation in the Ye Family Sword Tomb.
Li Chengru calmly stood in front of Xu Qingmu, looked at the arrogant junior, and took out his crotch like the old beggar:
"In my case, you are considered an adult when your hair is combed. If you want to be spanked, you can, but you have to take off your pants and let me check."
Ye Fanchen, who was still smiling across from me, suddenly turned gloomy: "Li Chengru, thank you for being such a scholar!"
Li Chengru didn't care at all: "What's wrong with the scholar? The scholar doesn't eat and poops? Does the scholar need to squat down like a girl to pee? I just like to pee standing up and pee three feet in the wind. Can you do that?"
Xu Qingmu smacked his lips. In terms of talking skills, no one except the old beggar could match him.
Sure enough, the handsome-looking descendant of the Ye family had a ferocious face.
But soon the man calmed down and said with a smile as before: "There are people today who want to see how far the former literary saint could urinate."
After saying that, he clapped his hands and walked out of the fog.
Xu Qingmu could clearly see the face of the man, it was Nalan Yu who was on the Erzhongfenglou boat back then. But today, he looked extremely quiet, like a tiger waiting to be hunted, waiting for an opportunity, quite calm.
Li Chengru only glanced at him with disdain on his face, but used his body to block Xu Qingmu more.
Ye Fanchen looked at Li Chengru's movements and laughed loudly: "What's wrong, Wen Sheng? It seems that you are a little scared?"
Li Chengru ignored the man. Second, he stretched out his hand and grasped a broken sword out of thin air. He turned to look at Cao Tong: "Girl, don't you always think that I am bragging? Look, I will prove to you today that I, Li Chengru, never
boast!"
Then he turned to look at Ye Fanchen: "Your breath is louder than your breasts, so no one deserves it."
Without even looking at the junior Ye family member, he said to the thick fog behind Nalan Yu: "The secret rat who exorcises evil spirits and protects ghosts, today I want to show you what the majestic spirit of the world is!"
Having said that, he cut off the sword with his hand and pointed the sword upward, and slowly held the hilt of the sword with both hands. The clothes on his body moved automatically in the wind, and his clothes were fluttering. He looked like an immortal. Especially the long hair fluttering, which made everyone look confused.
The junior Ye family member opposite stretched out his hand to hold his sword and stood ready. Nalan Yu, whose eyes were dull, also made a defensive posture, waiting for Li Chengru's attack.
But at this moment, Li Chengru suddenly said something.
A group of people were speechless, listening to the sound, which was still a little steamy.
Everyone retreated, the admiration in their hearts just now disappeared. How can this be the appearance of an immortal? This is obviously a philistine and a hooligan!
Li Chengru smiled sheepishly and cursed: "Grandma, you really can't read a book in the middle of the night in winter. The person who reads the book deserves to be unlucky." After that, he looked further away and smiled: "Forget it, let's go first.
Open your eyes."
Then a sword was swung out.
Huge sword energy surged and flew into the air. What was even more strange was that behind each sword energy there were smaller sword energy following, layer after layer, like tidal waves.
Xu Qingmu counted carefully and found a total of eighteen sword energies.
"My sword is eighteen, I can reach the stars with one sword!"
With the sword surging, the surrounding fog gradually melted like snow into boiling water. As the sun fell, everything around him was clearly visible, including the figure wrapped in black fog.
The figure smiled arrogantly, watching the confrontation between Li Chengru and Ye Fanchen, and said: "Your opponent is me."
Sitting in the fisherman's house, Lu Sancun muttered:
"Why did you interrupt again? Isn't it enough that Jinling City scolded you?"
