Lingzhou's territory is mountainous and is the source of many rivers.
Among the thousands of mountains in the north, there is a mountain that is rarely known to the world, but it is extremely famous in Lingzhou Wulin and even the northwest rivers and lakes of Dashun.
This mountain is called Qingsui Mountain.
It is located deep in the mountains, with quiet mountains and beautiful scenery.
There is a manor in Qingsui Mountain.
At night, the mountains were dark, but the manor was lit with bright lights, making it look very warm.
The backyard of the manor, Fang Xie Pavilion.
A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, thin and delicate, was sitting in the study reading.
A round-faced little maid of about the same age was fiddling with the stove to make the charcoal fire burn brighter.
Although it is early summer, the night in the deep mountains is a bit cold.
My young lady is weak and needs to pay more attention to keeping warm.
The girl with a delicate temperament read the book very seriously, and her bright watery eyes sometimes flashed with brilliance, as if she had seen something that she was attracted to and was proud of.
"Miss, you have been reading for almost an hour. It's time to rest your eyes." The round-faced maid put down the iron pick for pulling charcoal and reminded her.
"Xiaoyun, don't rush me, I'll finish reading it soon."
"You said the same thing half an hour ago."
"It's true this time, I won't lie to you."
"The lady says this every time, but she never takes it seriously."
The round-faced little maid mumbled, a little dissatisfied.
The delicate girl did not raise her head and continued to focus on reading.
The little maid had no choice but to put a fox fur on her young lady to prevent the cool mountain breeze from freezing her.
After about a quarter of an hour, the delicate girl finally finished reading and closed the book in her hand.
His eyes were bright, and he praised the book: "Mr. Zhou's "Bi Jia Tan" is really profound. It not only talks about the advantages of Bai Jia, but also discusses the shortcomings of Bai Jia. It can be said that it is well-intentioned and has unique insights!"
The round-faced little maid answered: "Mr. Zhou is the current chief disciple of Zhaohu Academy, and his knowledge is certainly not bad."
"But I heard that he only entered the six realms of mountains and rivers last month. He has just reached the realm of benevolent people enjoying mountains and wise people enjoying water. He has not yet been able to 'not give in to the master'."
"With such a state of mind, can we really analyze the shortcomings of hundreds of schools of thought?"
The delicate girl smiled and said: "Cultivation and scholarship are different. Some people have high cultivation, but low knowledge, and only rely on brute force; while some people are not high in realm, but their knowledge is profound and broad, and they are the great scholars of the world. "
"Although Mr. Zhou's current realm is only in the six realms of mountains and rivers, his classics, meanings, and writing skills can be regarded as a famous master in a continent."
"Looking at the entire Beizhi Gezhou, apart from the famous Confucian scholars, perhaps only Chaoyang Academy, Hengqu Academy and Hanshan Academy among the four major Confucian academies in Beizhou can be compared with one or two people."
The round-faced little maid murmured: "Aren't you a nerd? I think Mr. Zhou's style is not as good as Mr. He from Youhe Mountain."
"What did you say?"
"nothing."
The round-faced little maid stuck out her tongue and quickly shut up.
The delicate girl tapped her head lightly, but she wasn't really angry. After the knock, she actually laughed.
The round-faced little maid also laughed.
As long as the lady is happy, she is happy.
This pair of master and servant, the delicate girl named Hu Kexin, is Miss Sun of Qingsui Villa.
The round-faced maid is called Xiaoyun.
The two grew up together and have a very close relationship.
Putting down the book, the delicate girl glanced at the night outside and said, "It's time to go to grandma's place. Xiaoyun, help me bring "Youth Night Moon Picture" with me."
"okay!"
Xiaoyun brought the painting that the young lady had just finished in the afternoon and a lantern to lead the way.
The two of them left Fangxi Pavilion and headed to Dieqing Residence where the old lady was staying.
Along the way, there were servants, maids, and nurses saluting Miss Sun and saying hello.
The delicate girls also responded one by one, leaving no one behind.
Soon they passed through the atrium and came to Dieqing Residence in the west.
"My grandson wishes my grandmother a good night, and wishes her a good night's sleep and long life!"
Entering the warm hall, the delicate girl bowed down.
Sitting in the warm hall was a dignified and graceful old lady with white hair and childish face.
Without waiting for the girl to bow down, she said lovingly: "My Ke'er, get up quickly. You haven't been to grandma for three days. Let grandma see if she has lost weight."
The delicate girl smiled and replied: "I forgive you, grandma, but dad asked me to take care of myself these days and not move around, so I didn't come to pay my respects to grandma."
"Hmm, my Ke'er's health is very important, so it's okay if you don't come. Have you practiced the Qingye Ningshen Jue I gave you?"
"Yes, I started using it yesterday. I had a good sleep last night thanks to it, thank you grandma!"
"As long as it's useful, it's useful. I asked Mrs. He from Youhe Mountain to get this from the Third Medicine King Valley. It was specially created for people who are weak in body and spirit."
The grandfather and grandson were chatting when they suddenly heard a commotion in the front hall, which lasted for a while.
The old lady frowned.
The round-faced maid Xiaoyun was smart. Seeing the displeasure on the old lady's face, she immediately said crisply: "Old ancestor, I'll go outside and take a look."
After a while, Xiaoyun trotted back and said: "Ancestor, a large group of Jianghu people came to the front hall. They want to see the old man. It seems that they want to invite the old man to come out to deal with the new alliance leader Du Shi Jianxiu."
"Du Ling Sword Cultivator."
"Ah, yes, it's Du Ling! Those people say that this swordsman named Du is a hypocrite. After he became the leader of the alliance, his true nature was exposed. He was cunning and ruthless. All the martial arts colleagues in the state were overwhelmed by him. Come, they want to invite the old man to come out and overthrow this man named Du."
"Has the old lady seen them?"
"No, it's Mr. Big and Mr. Second who are receiving us."
When the old lady saw that the old man didn't show up, she didn't care.
He took his granddaughter's hand and said with a smile: "Ke'er, I heard that you have been working on a painting of "Young Years and Night Moon" these past few days. Have you done it well?"
The delicate girl replied: "It's already done. My grandson has brought it. I asked my grandmother for advice."
"What's your advice? My Ke'er's painting skills are the best in the entire southeast region of Beizhi Gezhou. Old lady, I'm neither Wu Painting Sage nor Wang Painting Fairy, so I can't give you any advice."
That being said, when Xiaoyun took out the "Young Years Night Moon Picture", the old lady still tasted it carefully.
…
The grandparents and grandchildren are warm in the backyard, but the front hall of Qingsui Villa is noisy.
The owner of Qingsui Villa, Hu Cishu, and his second sister Hu Baiyue couldn't help but frown when they looked at the hundreds of people standing in the courtyard in front of the hall.
This group of people was exactly the same group of people from all walks of life that Li Qianyi, Xiao Qianjun, and the herding boy Dong Muren met near the village at dusk.
The leader was a Six Realm martial artist named Wu You.
Standing next to him were three warriors in the late stage of the fifth realm and three monks in the late stage of the fifth realm.
These seven people are all righteous heroes who are well-known in the Lingzhou martial arts world.
Especially Wu You, a six-level martial artist, has extremely high prestige. When the old owner of Qingsui Villa was the leader of the Lingzhou Wulin Alliance, he was the deputy leader.
He is the recognized candidate for the next league leader.
However, a year ago, when Hu Lao's leader Jinpen washed his hands and retired from the world, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared on the way.
A young swordsman named Du Ling overcame all the heroes and ascended to the throne of alliance leader.
Over the past year, the entire Lingzhou world has been undercurrents, and various disturbances have never stopped.
Today, everyone came to the door to ask the old alliance leader to return to the mountain to return the clear sky to Lingzhou.
