I don’t know whether it was Jia Langzhong’s medicine for treating sores that was particularly effective, or whether Xia Huai’s own physical constitution was good enough.
Three days later, her movements were basically back to normal, she was no longer affected, and the blood she had lost before was replenished.
Therefore, Xia Huai came to the yard early this morning. Unfortunately, the sword at her waist was not there. She could only pick up a branch from the ground and perform a set of sword skills.
She saw the branch moving quickly and slowly in her hand, as if it was real or not, like the breeze blowing on her face, or like the moon shining on cold jade. The osmanthus flowers on the branch were stirred up by her inner power and fell one after another, as if a scene was going on. Flower rain.
Xia Huai finished all the twenty-four sword techniques in the rain of flowers, then sheathed his sword and stood up, seeing Lu Jing standing by the door.
Xia Huai's eyes lit up, "Congratulations, Young Master Lu, your internal strength seems to have improved again."
Lu Jing smiled bitterly. In the past few days when Xia Huai was recovering from his injuries, he continued to fight against the internal forces in his body. In addition to lifting urns, he also developed some other consumption methods. However, the effects were average. Because there were no martial arts moves, he had no idea how to use them. I'm still confused about how to get the inner force out of the body.
In the end, I had to go back to the old path and use all my remaining internal energy to stimulate my own acupoints. As a result, I unfortunately penetrated the Ren channel two days ago and entered the second class.
After successfully advancing, Lu Jing felt that his whole body was not well.
Especially when he discovered that his Dantian had expanded a lot, which also meant that the situation he would face in the future would be even more severe, and he was so sad that he couldn't sleep well for two nights.
Xia Huai also noticed that Lu Jing was feeling a little depressed, but she thought that Lu Jing was worried about not having enough martial arts skills to use after improving his skills, so she took the initiative and said, "My injuries have healed well. Let’s go find Senior Brother today.”
Lu Jing perked up when he heard this, "Really?"
Xia Huai nodded, "It won't work if I don't go. Who knows if senior brother will still be in Wujiang City after tonight."
Lu Jing scratched his head, "Then I won't be polite to you. I really want to get the martial arts secret book as soon as possible."
"I know." Xia Huai smiled.
Lu Jing spent a lot of time with her in the past few days, and discovered another characteristic of Xia Huai. This girl loves to smile, and she is different from the polite smiles of the white-collar women Lu Jing met in the workplace in his previous life.
Every time Xia Huai smiles, it’s because she is really happy, not to show off to anyone, nor does she deliberately cover up anything. When she smiles, her eyes will bend into a line, and two small dimples will appear on her face. .
Therefore, anyone who sees this smile will feel as good as her. Coupled with her baby face, it is no wonder that Xia Huai said that no one in Xijiang Pavilion can be cruel enough to refuse her request.
The two simply packed up and then went to bid farewell to Jia Langzhong. Jia Langzhong was excited when he heard that he had twice the money. Now he quickly took out an abacus and summed up the medical fees, medicine money, and other things during this period. Accommodation, food and even Lu Jing's wages for summoning Xixin were added in, and finally the sky-high price of one tael of silver was quoted.
Seeing that Xia Huai agreed immediately, Jia Langzhong couldn't help but started to murmur, worried that the blackmail would be too harsh, so the two of them just walked away.
Lu Jing patted him on the shoulder, "If you are really afraid that you won't be able to get your money back, you can come with us."
Jia Langzhong shook his head, "I have to guard my thatched cottage, just in case someone comes to see me, that's all. It's a windfall anyway, so just let it go."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to teach Xixin how to identify medicines.
Lu Jing and Xia Huai had already entered the city, probably because it was their first time here. Xia Huai seemed quite curious about many things in the city, especially the various dazzling snacks and toys, such as shrimp candies and Yi Niang's swing. , Mohele (a kind of clay doll that can wear various mini clothes), grain board (a board covered with soil, planted with flowers and plants and accompanied by some miniature buildings), etc. are all novelties that are not found in the pavilion.
It's a pity that the two of them are short of money now, Xia Huai can only live with her eyesight, and she is still thinking about finding martial arts for Lu Jing, so she doesn't stop at those stalls and goes straight to the largest inn in the city.
Along the way, the two of them bumped into many people from the world, dressed in different clothes and carrying different weapons. Most of them obviously came here to learn about the secret book in Lian Cheng's hand.
"My senior brother is good at everything." Seeing that there was still some time left, Xia Huai took the initiative to introduce the person Lu Jing was going to meet later. "In terms of martial arts and intelligence, he is one of the eighth generation disciples among us." The most outstanding one has made a huge name in the world at a young age, entered the Qingyun Ranking, and has a bright future. I heard from my master that the pavilion seems to be interested in training him to be the next pavilion master.
"But because of this, he is a little...somewhat..." Xia Huai seemed not to know how to speak.
"Eyes higher than head?"
"I originally planned to say that he was arrogant. Although he was pretty good to us fellow brothers and sisters, he only occasionally showed off his airs as a senior brother. But this time I went down the mountain to deliver the letter, and I did hear many people in the world commenting on him like this. .” "
"That's understandable." Lu Jing was not surprised when he heard this. He became famous at a young age and had a bright future. It would be abnormal to have no arrogance. And compared to many show-off dads in his previous life, this Senior Brother of Xijian Pavilion at least relied on Having reached this point with his own strength, there is indeed a reason for expansion.
Then he thought of something else and said with some confusion, "There should be a lot of magical secrets in your sword-washing pavilion. Why, is your senior brother still interested in Jie Liancheng's martial arts?"
Xia Huai sighed, "Based on my understanding of him, his purpose in coming to Wujiang City should be different from others."
"Isn't he here for Jie Liancheng?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.
"He is here for Jie Liancheng, but not to grab the secret book, but because he heard about the invitation, so he came here."
Lu Jing blinked, feeling that he didn't understand clearly.
"He came to defeat Jie Liancheng, and wanted to prove that the martial arts of Xijiang Pavilion are stronger than those recorded in this secret book that everyone in the world is flocking to." Xia Huai said with some shame.
"…………"
"I can begin to understand why everyone says he is arrogant." Lu Jing said, "But it doesn't matter. I won't go in then. Just go and ask him for the secret book for me, and then give it to me."
"I originally planned to introduce you to him so that you can get to know each other, but when I thought about his temper, I thought maybe this would be a good idea." Xia Huai said with some regret.
