In a place as quiet as a paradise, suddenly the sound of roaring and filial piety broke the tranquility.
In front of the pavilion, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties looked ferocious and roared loudly:
"Come out and ask Xue Xianyun to come out! Ask him, why didn't he come out to greet me when I came? Do you look down on your old friend? I want to see what kind of character he has become in the past ten years?"
In the pavilion, the young white jade disciple who had just operated the juicing instrument glanced at the steaming device that was smashed to the ground, and sighed slightly: It is a good magic weapon, what a pity.
Although he didn't have to pay for it if it was broken, as a benefit to the store, these gastronomic instruments would not be recycled in the end. The young disciples who were on duty for the past two days could pick and take them away. He had been considering whether to squeeze juice, an oven or a steamer, but now there was one less option.
As for the evil guest with a ferocious face and an unpleasant aura all over his body, he was not afraid.
Seriously - he's seen a lot.
Ever since the news of the sword-making conference came out, Jichuncheng has been overcrowded, packed with participants and spectators, with the largest number of spectators. Relatively speaking, there are no spectators here in Runcaodu. Most of them are famous attendees and people with invitations. But this place is still more than just friends. In addition to the old friends of the village owner and a few disciples, some are "virtuous people" from all over the place who come to support him in order to save face, and some are just malicious guests with ill intentions.
Yes, Zhuoyu Villa really sent out part of the invitations to these ill-intentioned guests.
For example, those "creditors" accumulated by Xue Xianyun.
The last time Tang Zhao and the others went to Fuhui, they got a list of dangerous creditors. They were lucky, and they only met Zhu Yang, a somewhat unusual exception. After all, Xue Xianyun's creditors were all old, so You may always pay attention to a young man's talisman meeting.
However, this time was different. This time, Xue Xianyun himself became famous.
Originally, the fact that there was a traitor in Zhuoyu Villa has become a joke through the mouths of caring people, but then came the news that the sword was likely to be successfully made. Such a desire to be promoted first is suppressed, which makes people feel ups and downs. It can be said that relatives are happy and enemies are happy. It hurts. Many people who had even forgotten the grudges back then couldn't sit still and came to pry one after another.
Zhuoyu Villa could have ignored them. As long as they don't send invitations to them, they can't go up the mountain openly. They can at most use various means to get others' quotas. Even if there are fish that slip through the net, they can control the number.
However, wasn't it Xue Xianyun who asked them to come?
After fighting for so many years, no matter whether the old grievances were big or small, they are still lingering on today. Xue Xianyun has a good thing, and if they don't let them come to the scene to feel bitter and hateful, what's the point? We should call them all up and watch Xue Xianyun become a swordsmith. It would be best to grit our teeth but be helpless. That would be so satisfying.
As disciples, Tang Zhao and the others should have stopped the old man's willfulness, which would make the defense of the sword-making conference more difficult. However, after Shi Chunqing's defection, Xue Xianyun was depressed and almost collapsed. Even if he forged a sword, he could only force himself to concentrate and escape from the troubles in reality. In fact, there are always a lot of troubles, and you have to face them after making a sword. How can a disciple have the heart to deprive the old man of his true and small happiness? I would rather everyone work harder and let the old man be as happy as possible.
So, there are quite a few unfriendly names mixed into the list.
Not surprisingly, after the Runcao Ferry was opened, there were unwelcome visitors every day.
It is said that there are hundreds of people, all kinds of people. Xue Xianyun's enemies come in all shapes and sizes. It can be said that most of them are not deep-minded people. Xue Xianyun himself didn't have much power, and his enemies when he was young were not rational and mature. Otherwise, how could there have been conflicts? After getting older, some of them have polished their minds, and some of them are just like Xue Xianyun, as innocent as when they were young, with the added benefit of relying on their old age to show off their old age.
When selecting the list, Xue Yeyu made the decision and deliberately selected some superficial and irritable ones. Firstly, these people can't engage in intrigues, because the disaster is limited, secondly - if they are those who are deep-minded and intangible to their emotions and anger, they will not be irritated when they see the success of forging a sword, and they cannot be dumbfounded, just like mourning a heir, Xue Xianyun will inevitably not be happy enough. .
But being too superficial is not a good thing. Some people can’t even bear to go up the mountain. They started to find trouble at the foot of the mountain.
A bad guest like this one who scolds, scolds, and fools around the door, comes here every now and then. This young disciple is actually used to it.
Let’s go through the process.
The young disciple stepped forward, keeping a smile on his face, and said, "Dear guest, please be patient. A car will pick you up when you reach the mountain. Why rush up the mountain?"
The man cursed: "I'm going up the mountain! If Xue Xianyun doesn't come down, even if I'm carried in eight sedans, I won't go up the mountain."
The young disciple said politely: "You are overthinking it. How can anyone be willing to carry your appearance in an eight-carat sedan chair?"
The man was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "What an uneducated little beast, I'll teach you a lesson for Xue Xianyun -" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab the disciple -
He stretched out his arm halfway, and suddenly felt a tingling sensation.
Stab...
The sound of thunder and lightning rang in my ears.
Immediately afterwards, the man's body became paralyzed, his hair and fine hairs stood up one by one, and then the man also floated upward.
what happened? what happened?
It was probably the first time that the man was floating in the air without a magic weapon. He was paralyzed and couldn't even raise his head to see what was going on. He could only feel a thunderous light above his head.
Everyone saw it except him.
Above his head, there was a huge ice-blue bird hanging, its wings spread out, and each feather was attached with a faint blue thunder light.
Thunder and lightning are rare violent forces in the world, but the temperament of this giant bird is cold, even peaceful. The feathers condensed by lightning are as blue as ice crystals, and flow slightly like water. Not a single feather is uncontrollable. They are all part of the giant bird, and the giant bird is more like the spirit of thunder and lightning.
It didn't even attack the evil guest, it just came close to him, like a flying peak hanging above his head. The power of thunder and lightning that escaped paralyzed him and made him "electromagnetically levitated".
Seeing that this man was helpless, a handsome young man stood up on Thunderbird's back.
"It's Brother Jiang." Yun Xiyan exclaimed, "He has improved again. Before, his wings were not as agile as this bird. At first glance, it was just a magic weapon, but now he is like a living creature. Within a few months, his realm seems to have changed." It’s different.”
It turns out that not only has she made rapid progress in the past six months.
Mrs. Huarong nodded, and even the old woman praised: "This young man is extraordinary."
Jiang Shenyi stood up, floated into the air with the help of electromagnetic power, stared at the man and said, "What's wrong with this person?"
The man glared at him, but his tongue was paralyzed and he couldn't speak for a while. The young disciple next to him said: "This guest didn't have time to do anything. He just smashed a steamer, a magic weapon."
Jiang Shenyi said, "That's good. How much does a steamer cost?"
The young disciple said: "One hundred taels."
Jiang Shenyi was surprised: "It's so cheap? I haven't been to the store for a few days. Is the price of the magic weapon so low? Isn't it just like cabbage?"
The young disciple said: "Yes, Senior Brother Tang said that the final destination of a magic weapon is to turn into a cabbage."
Jiang Shenyi smiled and said: "As expected of him. Then let's do it, compensation of one hundred taels...and a fine of ten times." Without waiting for the other party to speak, he reached out and took off the other pouch magic weapons from the other party's belt and threw them to the young man. disciple.
The disciple opened it, took out a pile of gold and silver, and stuffed it back. As expected, he didn't take much. Jiang Shenyi nodded with satisfaction and said: "In theory, you were invited by the master, and you are considered a serious guest. The old affairs between you and my master should be settled by the older generation, and I will not interfere. But as for the so-called courtesy, you are rude. First of all, let's not be rude. You have not committed any crime, so please leave. You are not welcome at the Sword Making Conference." After that, he took out a wooden sign with the words "One Thousand Miles" written on it.
"It's a thousand miles away."
In a flash of light, the evil guest disappeared.
After Jiang Shenyi finished this little thing, he floated from the Thunderbird to the ground and put on a polite and standard smile. This smile he would never have done half a month ago, but today he is used to it. It can be seen that there is no such thing as a smile in the world. It's difficult, but I'm afraid there are people who are thoughtful. They all handed over their hands and said: "Dear guests, welcome to Jiugao Mountain. I am Jiang Shenyi, a true jade disciple of Zhuoyu Villa."
He gave a welcome speech fluently, and then said: "Although Zhuoyu Villa is small and has not many people, each of us does our best to ensure that the guests feel at home. Now I will take you to the sword-making conference venue."
He does not call everyone to come out, but to go in one by one.
Yun Xiyan watched curiously. Every time he entered, a big white bubble appeared in the pavilion, and naturally floated around the thunderbird like the man just now. After a while, the surroundings of the thunderbird were filled with white balls, like Turning slowly like a string of pearls.
Finally, he came to Yun Xiyan's pavilion.
When Yun Xiyan saw him coming in, he jumped up early and said, "Brother Jiang, do you still remember me?"
Jiang Shenyi said in surprise: "Sister Yun? You're here so early? Ah, and Mrs. Hua."
He was surprised that there were two acquaintances in the same pavilion. You must know that although Zhuoyu Villa has invited many friends, most of them are people who have friendship with Xue Xianyun. Other senior brothers and sisters also have friends, but he does not have many acquaintances. Madam Lianhua is a casual acquaintance. It’s hard to count them all. Sometimes when I go to visit someone, I don't even see an acquaintance. I'm just doing my duty as a host. There are very few chances of meeting a familiar peer like Yun Xiyan.
This was the first time he saw the only old woman in this pavilion. Seeing that she had a kind appearance and elegant temperament, she didn't seem to be looking for trouble. She was also an elderly person, so he saluted and said: "I What do you call people?”
The old woman smiled and said: "My surname is Xun. I am not a madam, so there is no need to call me madam."
Jiang Shenyi was startled, and realized that the old woman did not have her hair tied up like a married woman, and of course she did not have her hair hanging down like an unmarried girl. Instead, she wore a very simple hair-length bun. She was obviously unmarried, and said: "So... Xun Nuxia? "
The old woman laughed out loud and said, "Yes, he is such a good boy."
After chatting with Xun Nuxia for a few words, Yun Xiyan smiled and said, "How about it, besides me, is there anyone else from the Fu Association who will come?"
"The Sword Comes"
Jiang Shenyi smiled and said: "We have sent letters to them all, and most of them are expecting replies. But Sister Yun was the first to arrive. To be honest, the sword-making conference attracted more attention from the martial arts. As soon as they heard about the sword-making, they all rushed to come. , on the contrary, the Talisman Sword Masters are not very interested, and even the local Painted Bone Building in Yunzhou has not yet come."
Yun Xiyan smiled and said: "They, they can't come. I picked them out on the way here."
