In the royal summer palace on the hillside, Xu Huaigu slowly walked in with steps as heavy as lead. Several maids on the road couldn't help but smile when they saw him carrying two swords and a sad face. They greeted each other with smiles, and Xu Huaigu also responded with a grimace.
A palace maid in green clothes saw a long sword on his back and a short sword in his hand. Her bones looked like they were about to fall apart, but there was still a hint of excitement on her face, and she was a little afraid of him practicing his sword. After being possessed by the demon, he asked worriedly: "Xu Huaigu, did you sneak out to practice sword practice again?"
Xu Huaigu was a little happy when he saw the palace maid in green. The palace maid in green is the supervisor of the palace maids in this palace. She has played the best with Xu Huaigu in the past few days and is the most kind to him. She is like a mother, but she doesn't know how sincere she is.
Xu Huaigu thought she was sincere to him and said happily: "Sister Luzhu, I have a master today. She taught me swordsmanship and gave me this dagger, which is just right in my hand. When I become good at swordsmanship, I will help you go to the bamboo forest and cut some more green bamboos so that I can make bamboo rice for you."
Lu Zhu knew that he was mocking her with his name, so she was not annoyed. She rubbed his head lovingly, pointed to his residence not far away, and said, "I have been thinking about sword practice all day, but Miss Li is waiting there." You've been anxious for most of the day, and you'd better think more about how to explain to Miss Li."
Xu Huaigu was about to tell Li Zi the good news when he heard that Li Zi was in the house. He waved goodbye to Lu Zhu in a hurry and walked quickly into the house. I only heard Lu Zhu reminding me from behind: "A change of clothes and hot water will be brought to you soon. Remember to wash your messy hair too!"
Xu Huaigu didn't even look back and replied: "Okay!"
Li Zi had already heard the movement outside in the room and jumped down from the soft bed. I originally wanted to go out to pick him up, but when I thought about the hard work of waiting for him here all day, I felt disgusted, but I couldn't get angry at all.
When the little girl thought that she couldn't be angry, she suddenly became a little angry: Li Zi, you are so obsessed, how could you become so easy to bully?
She quickly walked to the table, picked up a small cup of green tea, and took a sip, as if to pour out the unknown fire in her heart, but it had no effect. She rolled her eyes and thought of a strange idea, so she poured a whole cup of scalding tea into another teacup on the table, and carefully covered the teacup with a lid to prevent the steaming mist from coming out.
There was a "click-click" sound outside the door. It was the sound of Xu Huaigu walking up the bluestone steps, which seemed quite urgent. The little girl supported her chin with her hand and tilted her head sideways. When she heard the slightly hurried footsteps, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, then fell back down without leaving a trace.
Xu Huaigu walked to the door, paused, straightened the heavy sword Xiaoyu on his back, wrapped the gorgeous unsheathed Cangshui sword tassels around his wrist a few times, straightened his clothes, and rolled his long hair to his shoulders. back. Then he knocked on the door softly and said, "Li Zi, I'm back."
It took a while before a lazy voice came from inside: "Come in."
He pushed the door open and saw Li Zi sitting on the table, pouting hard and looking at him fiercely, looking very unhappy. Xu Huaigu finally understood her. He could tell at a glance that the little girl was not really angry, and his heart immediately dropped.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Lizi, I really have something to do today. Are you angry that you didn't find me when you came? As compensation, how about I take you to play in the city tomorrow?"
Li Zi tried her best to keep her face tight, and was a little confused when she saw a strange dagger in his hand, but she still suppressed her curiosity, curled her lips and ignored him.
Xu Huaigu walked over with a smile, put his dagger on the table, and looked at her quietly without speaking.
Li Zi looked at his playful smile and knew that he had probably seen through the fact that she was not angry again, so she was the first to speak, but she did not ask him about the origin of the dagger.
"You're thirsty, drink some water first."
Um? The sun rises from the west? The little girl seems to be extra considerate today. There is a cup of tea on the table. He was indeed a little thirsty. Born in a small village, he didn't have the tediousness to drink tea as a literati tea master, so he picked it up with his hands and took a big gulp.
Anyone who understands tea would definitely be jumping up and down at this. This tea is Yugong's Hongfang Xiaoque. It comes from Yucheng Hongfang in the west of Dayu Kingdom. It is a rare wet tea. This kind of tea should not be dried in the sun. Once it is dried and loses its moisture, it will be tasteless. Tea leaves are moist and easily spoiled, and must be consumed as quickly as possible before they go bad, making this tea particularly valuable. Hongfang Xiaoque tea is rich in flavor, fragrant and fragrant, soothes the nerves and dispels fire. It is the best tea.
But if you give this tea to Xu Huaigu, you will definitely have to chew peonies, which is a waste of natural resources. As soon as the scalding tea entered his mouth, he felt a burning pain. The pain made him stand up suddenly, squirting the tea in his mouth all over the floor, and opened his mouth and kept breathing.
Li Zi saw that he had been fooled and stopped pretending. She covered her mouth and laughed, "Hahaha, Xu Huaigu, you are so stupid. How does my tea taste? Is it to your taste?"
Xu Huaigu spat out the tea, pretended to chase her for a while, and then started to tease each other with laughter.
In the end, Xu Huaigu, who was exhausted from playing, was lying on the bed, and Li Zi was sitting on the edge of the bed. The little girl who had had enough fun had long forgotten her little worries and asked him: "Xu Huaigu, have you gone to sword practice again? And what's going on with that dagger?"
Xu Huaigu looked at her triumphantly and deliberately let it slip, saying: "I did go to practice swordsmanship, but do you know where this sword came from?"
Li Zi was angry: "How could I know."
"You can take a guess."
Li Zi had a little temper, stood up from the edge of the bed, turned around and said, "Look at how smug you are, tell me quickly, or you'll leave if you don't tell me."
Xu Huaigu quickly got up from the bed, walked around in front of Li Zi, and said mysteriously: "Do you still remember those gods who had a big fight in the sky last time?"
Li Zi suddenly became interested, opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Hey...could it be that they gave this sword to you? How did you get to know them?"
"Hahaha, this sword was given to me by the woman in blue with a green sword. She also taught me a set of swordsmanship called "Cangshui Sword Record of Spring Wine Mountain". It belongs to the previous generations of owners of this short sword Cangshui. Her sword practice experience and sword skills are amazing! She also said she wanted to teach me a set of sword practice techniques and she would come to me tonight."
Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "Do you think it's because I was born to be a good swordsman? Even the first person in our East Fuyao Continent wants to teach me swordsmanship. When the time comes, I will be successful in practicing swordsmanship and master my natal flying sword." , I can take you to the sky, and then breathe in the clouds and mist in the sea of clouds, keeping company with the goshawks, isn’t it very interesting?”
Li Zi felt a little embarrassed for him when he heard this big talk. Not to be outdone, she said: "Don't forget the old Taoist priest. I am his disciple. When the time comes, I will learn his magic and I will be able to fly. It doesn't matter who will take whom to the sky!"
"Then I must take you there first! With your brain, I will never fool you easily. Of course I am smarter than you. I will definitely learn the sword first and succeed."
Li Zi rolled his eyes and said contemptuously: "What nonsense are you talking about? The Taoist priest accepted me as his disciple, but he didn't accept you. By the way, is the Green Sword Sword Immortal willing to accept you as his disciple?"
When he mentioned this, Xu Huaigu blushed a little and said with a guilty conscience: "Not yet, but she said that as long as I go to Fuyao Sect to visit her, she will think about it again."
Li Zi smiled happily and said: "Hehehe... That means I haven't promised you yet. Why are you so proud so early?"
Xu Huaigu was full of confidence and said: "Whether you believe it or not, I will definitely do it sooner or later."
Li Zi also replied: "I believe it. Why don't I believe it? I have never disbelieved you."
Xu Huaigu showed his face, and Li Zi also had curved eyebrows and dimples.
She walked slowly to the dagger, held the hilt in her hand, and took a look at the word "Cang Shui" in small letters on the sword, and she was a little intoxicated by it. She whispered silently: "The vast expanse of water was restrained by someone's divine power and turned into a long sword. It's really powerful."
Xu Huaigu didn't hear what she was saying clearly, but the Ten Realm woman, who was leaning against a big pine tree in the dark mountain forest and chewing a small leaf, said in surprise: "Observe the past life origins of objects, and you can see the invisible magic. I didn’t expect this little girl to be quite capable.”
She seemed very happy, spitting out the leaves in her mouth, and casually tore off a small piece of pine bark from the pine tree behind her, threw it into her mouth, squinted her eyes and said, "You must be lucky to have a good apprentice."
…
In the underground secret room of the Summer Palace, the sea of golden threads was still there, and the mark of a small white lotus spread out between the white-robed Taoist priest's brows. The petals of the lotus changed from nine to ten, and then disappeared between the brows.
He also smiled and said: "Long time no see, Big Kite."
