Mu Xia prepared four large bags of top-quality hundred-flower tea and a set of tea sets for Lin Sui'an as a homecoming gift. The tea alone weighed ten kilograms. Fortunately, Jin Ruolin was more thoughtful when he went out and brought all the green dragon, red bird, white tiger and black basalt with him. Now, just carrying five kilograms by himself, Jin Ruo can still buy and eat all the way, feeling very at ease.
It was the first time Qinglong and the four of them went shopping with Lin Sui'an. They looked around and everything they saw was new. Doctor Fang was right. As long as they stayed with Qian Jing, their condition would get better day by day. Compared with the previous time in Cheng The county's dull state is becoming more and more like a human being - ah, it's not that they look more and more like a human being, but that their expressions and eyes have become more popular and energetic. Gradually, you can distinguish each person. Personal personality.
Qinglong is the youngest. He has eaten well recently and has a round face. Lin Sui'an suspected that he was influenced by Jin Ruo. Along the way, Jin Ruo bought roasted sweet potatoes, white sugar cakes, and candies... He watched eagerly. Jin Ruo reluctantly gave him half of the roasted sweet potato.
Zhuque is the eldest, tallest and most stable. I don't know if it is Lin Sui'an's illusion, but I always feel that the way he looks at people is like Fang Ke.
White Tiger has a slender body, the whitest skin, Xuanwu is the shortest, and has the strongest muscles. The two have a very close relationship and always act together. Occasionally, I see them babbling and gesticulating together, but I can't understand what is said.
The four of them still didn't speak smoothly. Several words jumped out with different frequencies. Qinglong was two words, Suzaku was three words. White Tiger and Xuanwu were the funniest. Often one person would say the first few words, and the other would say the first few words. A person says the last few words, like a couple talking and teasing each other.
Jingmen Yidu Branch Altar is located in Laoshufang Busuan Street in the East Fourth District of Yidu City, facing Dadongmen and only separated from Daci Temple by the Yujiang River. Lin Sui'an and his party set out from the south gate of Yacheng, bypassed Sanhua Building, crossed Nanci Bridge, passed through the entire East District, and then crossed Dongci Bridge. After walking for more than half an hour, they saw the gate of Laoshufang. .
Laoshufang is a well-known retail area in Yidu. The so-called retail households refer to civilians with poor family backgrounds and no foundation. Most of them have no local clan to rely on. The houses in the square are narrow and small, and there are not many single-family houses. Often several families live in one yard, which is similar to a modern large courtyard. Except for a few people living here who have moved from other places, most of them are local businessmen, such as vendors, vendors, vegetable vendors, craftsmen, etc. It has naturally become a natural gathering place for Jingmen disciples. . The Yidu Jingmen sub-altar is located here, which can be regarded as the right time, place and people.
From the moment he walked into the square gate, Lin Sui'an felt the eyes from all directions. Looking around, he only saw ordinary passers-by, and these eyes were not malicious, let alone murderous. Lin Sui'an My sixth sense instinct was unable to pinpoint a specific location or person. I just felt that I was in a dense net, making my whole body uncomfortable.
Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger, Xuanwu obviously felt it too. The four of them tensed up, their faces were serious, and they guarded Lin Sui'an closely. Qinglong even walked out with the same hands and feet.
The only person who was relaxed and comfortable was Jin Ruo. He was holding a candy stick in his mouth, strutting around, looking here and clicking his tongue, looking over there. He was very confident. As he walked, he suddenly walked towards a salesman on the side of the road. The little brother said hello, "Brother, could you please tell Lord Gan Tan that Mrs. Lin and Jin Ruo are here to visit."
Brother Biro took a deep breath, abandoned Biro's stall and ran away.
Lin Sui'an glanced sideways: "My disciple has good eyesight."
Jin Ruo: "Basic skills, trivial."
The tense bodies of the four Suzakus relaxed a little.
There are three streets and two lanes in Laoshufang. The three streets are Bu Suan, Queqiao and Tianxian. The two streets are Linxi and Lindong. They are intertwined in a grid shape. The gate of the square leads directly to Tianxian Street. Turn left and you will find Linxi Road. Go forward for one minute. Xiang, turn right to Bu Suan Street. When Jin Ruo entered the square gate, he asked Brother Piro to report the news. He turned to Linxi Road and called a knife sharpener to report the news. When he got to Bu Suan Street, he found a seller selling sachets. The three vendors were all Jing Sect disciples, and they were nimble on their feet. They ran like a swish, but none of them came back, and no other Jing Sect disciples came to greet them. Lin Sui'an and his entourage just stood there unimpeded. The gate of Yidu sub-altar.
This is one of the few two-entry courtyards in Laoshufang, with rammed-earth courtyard walls and mottled wooden doors. The walls are only half a person's height, and the dark tiles on the roof of the courtyard's main hall can be seen.
There was no one in front of the door.
Lin Sui'an and Jin Ruo looked at each other, stretched out their hands to push open the door panel and walked in. The front yard looked like an ordinary house, with three wing rooms, and there were ear doors on both sides of the main room. They could faintly hear voices in the backyard, and the sound was louder and louder. Low, there were men and women. It sounded quite intense, as if they were arguing about something. Three people were crowded outside the left ear door, leaning against the ear door in the same posture to eavesdrop. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the disciples of the Pure Sect who came to report the news before. No wonder there has been no reply, all the emotions are gathered here and listening to the corner.
Jin Ruo was very unhappy, "What are you doing?"
The three disciples laughed sarcastically and pointed to the inside of the ear door, "It seems that the altar master had a quarrel with the four elders. We are all low-level disciples and we dare not disturb them."
Ouch, there's a lot of fun there. Lin Sui'an suddenly became energetic and leaned over, putting her ear against the door panel. However, she soon realized that this was unnecessary. The people in the backyard had loud voices. With her strong ears, she could hear everything clearly even through the door panel. Chu.
"Is the Altar Master determined to go his own way and give Yidu Jingmen to Yangdu Jingmen?" A male voice said.
"The altar master's move is too aggressive. The so-called young sect master is only eighteen years old and has no hair. How can he control the Jingmen? It must be the elders of Yangdu who are behind the scenes. Yidu and Yangdu were separated before. When we were at home, we had a serious quarrel with those old guys, there's no guarantee they won't wait for an opportunity to retaliate." Another male voice said.
"Yesterday I met the young sect leader. Young sect leader Jin has a dignified appearance and clear eyes. He has the demeanor of the old sect leader back then. I think he is trustworthy." Gan Hongying's voice said, "What's more, the master of young sect leader Jin is Lord of Qianjing, have you forgotten the rules of Jingmen? The place where Qianjing is located is the authentic one of Jingmen.”
"On the contrary, I think this Lord of Qianjing is the most unreliable. There are rumors in the world that Lin Sui'an has unparalleled sword skills and can defeat a hundred. Don't you think it is too exaggerated? How is it possible in the world? Is there such a person?" Another female voice said, "What's more, Qian Jing has not appeared in the world for thirty years, and there are only sporadic records of the Jing Sect. It is still unclear whether the Qian Jing in Lin Sui'an's hands is true or false."
"What the third elder said is true. The rumors about the Lord of Qianjing are too evil. The old man thought that the Yangdu Jingmen must have manipulated the news in the world and forcibly created a master of Qianjing with outstanding martial arts so that he could Yangdu. The Jing Sect has conquered various branches in various places." The last one was an old male voice, "Elders, please don't forget that manipulating and exaggerating the news is our Jing Sect's best skill."
"Sure enough, the great elder sees far!"
"That's right, that's right."
Jin Ruo smashed the Yahuazi and said, "I originally thought that I could take back the Yidu altar without any bloodshed. It turns out that they have not reached an agreement at all internally. Look at this situation, there is going to be internal strife."
Lin Sui'an sighed inwardly: Sure enough, the good things that fall from the sky are not her turn.
Gan Hongying was silent for a moment, "I submitted the layout plan of Jingmen Hall and the list of disciples to Young Master Jin yesterday. We have no way out."
Several people in the courtyard were shocked.
"What?!"
"Altar Master, you are confused!"
"What, what should I do?!"
"Call the brothers, take the guy with you, and go get it back!"
Lin Sui'an sighed secretly, and opened the door with a creak. His eyes lit up, and he saw a spacious and flat martial arts training hall. There were five people in the courtyard. The leader was Gan Hongying, and on the left were an old man and a girl. There is a woman, and on the right are two men, both of whom look like Lian Jiazi in body shape.
The five people all looked over, their expressions as if they had been hit hard with a stone.
Jin Ruo chuckled, "Good morning, brothers and sisters of the Yidu branch."
Lin Sui'an put on what he thought was the kindest smile, "We brought flower tea, let's drink two cups together."
The two most famous porcelains of the Tang Dynasty are celadon and white porcelain. Celadon has a long history, mature production technology, and its beauty, texture and gloss have reached its peak. White porcelain was developed in the past ten years. It is as clean as white jade and as bright as snow. He was very popular among the gentry and officials, and was often cited as a person whose moral conduct was flawless and spotless.
Hua made great achievements in the production of white porcelain, the most famous of which is the white porcelain of the Ming kiln. Adhering to Hua's "unconventional" style, he did not take the usual path and developed a unique underglaze color.
For example, the set of tea cups in front of me uses the "underglaze blue" technique. The whole body of the tea cups is white and transparent, except for a touch of emerald green burned on the bottom of the cup, infused with clear Baihua tea water, like a spring bud in the clear waves. The sparkling water is worthy of Hua's reputation as "a sprig of spring in the water".
Lin Sui'an didn't know the specific price of this set of tea cups, but looking at the cautious movements and expressions of the five people opposite him, he guessed that it would cost at least a few dozen gold.
In addition to Gan Hongying, there are four elders in the Yidu altar. The eldest elder, Dongmen Wen, is over sixty years old, with gray hair and beard. He is energetic and should be the oldest and most powerful person in the altar; the first elder is Shen Xiang. , a woman in her fifties, with a plain appearance and an apron tied around her waist, like a friendly aunt next door; the third elder Gao Han, who is over the age of 10, has a tall face and thick hands and feet; the fourth elder Bai Shan, the third elder He is in his early teens, with broad shoulders and thick waist, dark skin, and carries two black knives on his back.
Dongmen Wen and Shen Xiang were quite polite, but Gao Han and Bai Shan were not very friendly. Ever since Lin Sui'an and others came in, their eyes had been fierce.
Gan Hongying was embarrassed.
The four elders talked bad things about the Master Qianjing and the Young Master of the Jing Clan behind their backs. They didn’t want to be bumped into by the real master, which was really embarrassing, but looking at Lin Sui’an and Jin Ruo, they didn’t seem to be affected at all, and they were still enjoying themselves. He looked down, looking very interested.
In fact, Lin Sui'an was also quite embarrassed. Fortunately, he had been hanging out with Hua Yitang for a long time and learned the essence of shamelessness: as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
As for Jin Ruo, it seems that he was born without the "embarrassment" tendon, let alone Qinglong and the others. They have not yet evolved the "embarrassment" emotional cells.
Gan Hongying: "Hmm, um - didn't Madam Lin and the Young Master say they would visit in three days? Why did they come today?"
Lin Sui'an clasped his fists: "Yesterday, I got a generous gift from Lord Gan Tan, and I'm going to return the favor today."
Jin Ruo: "The tea leaves are a return gift, and the tea set is the reward for yesterday's news about Lian Xiaoshuang."
"Young Master is so polite, we are all one family——"
Before Gan Hongying could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Third Elder Gao Han. The young man in his 10s spoke in an aggressive tone, "I don't believe this little lady is the Lord of Qianjing!"
Gan Hongying was furious: "Gao Han, what are you talking about!"
"It's okay," Lin Sui'an said with a smile, "If Elder Gao has any doubts, you can just ask them."
Gao Han pointed at Qian Jing at Lin Sui'an's waist, "Is this knife really Qian Jing?"
Lin Sui'an: "Yes."
"I don't believe it, unless you compete with me with this knife and you win, then I will believe it."
"That's inappropriate," Lin Sui'an shook his head, "When Qianjing is unsheathed, he will see blood. This is our first time as a guest. Seeing blood is unlucky."
Jin Ruo was stunned and thought that the master had indeed followed the example of Hua. He was telling lies and even used Qian Jing to chop wood to roast mutton for Mu Xia on the way to Yidu.
Lin Sui'an: You don't understand, this is the qualification of a teacher.
Gao Han sneered, "Don't you dare?!"
Lin Sui'an: "Although I can't take action, my apprentice can. Jin Ruo, how about you try?"
Jin Ruo picked up the teacup and pretended to take a sip, then patted the one-foot horizontal sword on his waist, "My sword is named Ruojing, and I won't make a move easily. If Brother Gao wants to compete with me, he must first defeat my apprentice." .”
Lin Sui'an stared: Who is your apprentice?
Jin Ruo pursed his lips backwards.
Gao Han's eyes turned around the four Qinglong people, "These four are your apprentices? Okay, let's go together!"
"No, no, we are all disciples of the Jingmen. How can we bully the minority?" Jin Ruo looked back and said, "Qinglong, go ahead."
Qinglong clasped his fists: "Qinglong, okay."
With that said, he jumped into the martial arts training ground, followed closely by Gao Han. Everyone was using bare hands. Gao Han's fists were strong and strong, and he obviously practiced foreign martial arts. Qinglong has never fought with anyone since he left Cheng County. So I rarely go out with a knife.
Lin Sui'an lowered his voice and asked Jin Ruo, "When did you accept Qinglong and the others as your apprentices?"
"I'm tricking them. I'm still a young sect master after all. If anyone comes to challenge me, I'll be punished myself. Wouldn't it be a loss?" Jin Ruo glanced at Qinglong, "Do you think Qinglong can win?"
Lin Sui'an scratched his forehead and said nothing.
Green Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger Xuanwu are the four beasts that Dragon God Temple painstakingly refined. At their peak, the four of them could fight her for forty or fifty rounds without losing, but now the medicinal properties of the Dragon God Fruit have been almost washed away by the antidote. My head is not very bright yet, and there are no actual combat cases for reference in the past month. I am really not sure to what extent the current combat effectiveness of the four people has been weakened.
This Gao Han seems to be full of confidence, and he is in the position of the third elder of the Yidu branch, so he must have some abilities.
"It will definitely be an extremely exciting and fierce battle." Lin Sui'an speculated.
While speaking, Gao Han shouted loudly, stretched out his posture and rushed towards Qinglong, his fists were fierce, and his momentum was very scary. On the other hand, Qinglong seemed to be suppressed by Gao Han, and he did not hide or dodge. Han was not polite, and Douda's fist hit Qinglong's abdomen firmly with a thud.
Lin Sui'an and Jin Ruo gasped at the same time, Gan Hongying's complexion changed, the other three elders' eyes lit up, Gao Han showed a victorious smile, and was about to use a meteor chain punch, but found that his fist was hit by One hand held tightly.
It's Qinglong.
Gao Han's fist did hit, but Qinglong's expression did not change at all. He held Gao Han's fist with one hand and moved away from his stomach frame by frame. Gao Han's arms were shaking wildly, and he couldn't resist at all. In desperation, he suddenly swung his left hand. Fist, it was so late and so fast that the green dragon in front of him disappeared in a swish. Gao Han changed his color in shock. In the next moment, he felt that his whole body turned sideways, like a windmill spinning in mid-air, and flew out heavily, landing on the ground. At that time, a pair of eyes were still painting mosquito coils.
Gao Han's defeat was unclear, but several people in the audience could see it clearly.
Qinglong first received a punch forcefully and blocked Gao Han's punch path with his body. When Gao Han threw the first punch, his speed naturally slowed down. When Gao Han's middle door was wide open, he lowered his waist and dismounted from his horse, lying on the ground. He hit Gao Han's calf bone with a swinging kick. He grabbed the collar of Gao Han's clothes and swung it upwards. With two strong forces, he threw Gao Han high up. The series of movements showed no martial arts or technical content. They all depended on The body is durable, fast enough, powerful enough, and the posture is quite inelegant, on the same level as a gang fight on the street.
Everyone in Yidu said: "..."
Lin Sui'an raised his forehead and said, "He has the spirit of a scoundrel to fight on the ground."
Jin Ruoheixian: "Don't learn from the good ones and learn from the bad ones."
Qinglong came back and hugged Jin Ruo with a fist, "Qinglong, we win."
Lin Sui'an and Jin Ruo both gave a thumbs up: "Very good!"
Qinglong still had no expression, but Lin Sui'an felt that he was quite happy.
Gao Han got up and said angrily: "What is this? Who are you looking down on?!"
"Xiao Gao, stand down!" Fourth Elder Bai Shan stood up, his swords buzzing behind him, "If you lose, you lose!"
Gao Han looked unconvinced and returned to his seat holding his head.
Bai Shan jumped down from the martial arts training ground and clasped his fists seriously, "Xia Bai Shan is good at two swords. I wonder if Young Master Jin will do it himself or let his apprentice do it for him?"
Suzaku, Baihu, and Xuanwu all looked at Jin Ruo with expectant eyes.
Jin Ruo didn't call anyone, but stood up by himself, "Shuangfeng Sword Baishan, who has been in the industry for fourteen years, killed evil bandits and protected the people, and was respected as the Double Swordsman by the people in the world. Three years ago, he fought with the Dishan Sect. The eight masters fought for 300 rounds at the Luhe Ferry. Four of the eight Dishan sect members died and four were seriously injured. They have been in a state of decline since then, but the twin wind knives have also disappeared from the world. Unexpectedly, you came to my purge."
Lin Sui'an said "Oh" in his heart, he didn't expect that this person was actually a famous person in the world.
"I recognize Lord Gan Tan, not you." Bai Shan said firmly, "If you want me to convince you, I have to show some real skills."
Jin Ruo glanced at Lin Sui'an, who nodded lightly.
Jin Ruo carried Ruo Jing out of the martial arts training ground.
small theater:
Lin Sui'an: Good disciple, I believe in you as my master! Quick, quick, get on the melon seeds! :,,
