"After that, I didn't know anymore. None of these villagers were willing to talk to me. I overheard these contents."
As he spoke, Bai Qing suddenly showed dissatisfaction and said: "This group of villagers is strange. They don't want to talk to me. They call me 'water monkey associate' when we meet. It's really baffling and I don't know what to say."
"Haha." Lin Xixue's face twitched twice, not knowing how to react. After all, this water monkey was talking about her.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. This time we went to Sanyuan Temple to investigate. Has there been any progress regarding Xiao Xu?" Bai Qing brought the topic back.
"This matter has basically been settled. I will go to the temple to discuss the follow-up matters as soon as tomorrow morning."
"Then I will continue to stay here and explore the movements of the group of cow-noses and strange insects." She pointed to the bottom of the lake. "After the group of cow-noses entered, there was no movement at all. I am afraid that something happened inside the cave."
"Okay, I will cooperate with Chenghuang Temple Zhu as soon as possible to use the soul-inducing technique for Zhiyi, and I will meet you again after the task is completed."
"Okay, if anything happens, please contact us."
Lin Xixue nodded, her eyes suddenly glanced upward, and said: "I have been on duty here for many days, thank you for your hard work, Qing."
Bai Qing was surprised at first, then smiled slightly and said, "You have worked hard too. You have driven more than a thousand miles in a row."
The two of them were polite, and Lin Xixue was about to leave. Just after taking two steps, she heard Bai Qing clearing her throat twice behind her.
She turned around and saw Bai Qing folding her arms over her chest, turning slightly sideways and saying, "Have you forgotten something?"
Lin Xixue tilted her head, had she forgotten something? It seems that there is not. Hiss, the jade sword that I promised to make for Bai Qing seems to have been forgotten by me in my busy schedule.
She pretended to be calm and said: "Don't worry, I will naturally not forget the jade sword I promised to make for you. Isn't it because things are complicated at the moment, and I haven't found a suitable jade material!"
"Well, since you remembered it in time and you are really busy, I don't blame you. It's already so late. You should go back and freshen up."
Bai Qing couldn't tell that she had actually forgotten, but when she thought that there were indeed too many more important things at the moment, she just rolled her eyes and stopped worrying about it.
Seeing Bai Qing's reaction, Lin Xixue naturally understood what she was thinking, and both of them laughed tacitly.
The two stopped chatting, and Lin Xixue quickly returned to Yunzhou Mansion, freshened up a little, then took yellow paper and ink pen to write a letter.
According to Lu Er, the essence of this generational inheritance is actually just writing a letter to the City God in his own name and making an introduction.
Therefore, she wrote the letter in advance and saved a lot of effort when she went to see the Chenghuang Temple to congratulate her tomorrow.
Dry the letter written in red and put it away, and take a nap while it's still dark to relieve your mental fatigue.
The next day it was light, Lin Xixue got out of bed, and before going out, she saw Qu Ruoyin repeatedly waving a wooden stick in the atrium.
After all, Qu Ruoyin was born in a peasant family. Her nutrition was not very good and her body was thin. She was out of breath after continuously waving, and the muscles in her arms began to tremble uncontrollably.
But she still gritted her teeth and waved the stick again and again.
Lin Xixue saw all this, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Her parents had just died, and Qu Ruoyin didn't cry or make trouble. She got up early early to "practice sword" alone.
Seeing Lin Xixue coming out, Qu Ruoyin stopped what she was doing, knelt down in front of her, kowtowed three times, and said, "Master, please teach me the swordsmanship."
"Don't call me Master, I don't accept disciples." Lin Xixue curled her lips helplessly and asked, "Really want to learn swordsmanship?"
"Want to learn!"
"Why do you want to learn and take revenge?"
Qu Ruoyin was startled, and after thinking for a moment, she replied: "My sister said that I need to protect my own life, so I want to learn the sword."
Lin Xixue sighed, thinking that the sword manual of Mad Sword must not be passed on to Qu Ruoyin.
How can a mortal like Qu Ruoyin use such crazy sword moves that are almost like death together?
If it weren't for Lin Xixue's special physical condition that made her almost immortal, she would have destroyed herself in less than two attempts.
Besides, this sword manual is so weird that it’s better not to spread it randomly.
However, although this mad sword cannot be passed on to Qu Ruoyin, Lin Xixue also understood the sword intention of the mad sword when she obtained the sword manual. At this moment, her swordsmanship is naturally quite good.
Even if Qu Ruoyin was taught ordinary sword moves, it would be enough for her.
She broke off a branch from the courtyard, swung it in her hand, and said to Qu Ruoyin, "Just draw out your sword and attack me."
Qu Ruoyin had seen Lin Xixue's methods and knew that he could not hurt her, so she had no hesitation and used all her strength to strike Lin Xixue head-on with the wooden stick.
Lin Xixue did not move much, but she stepped forward with her left foot, twisted slightly, and turned sideways. Qu Ruoyin's full-strength blow was already in vain, and her entire center of gravity was unbalanced, causing her to fall forward.
Lin Xixue lifted the branch in her hand from bottom to top and placed it in front of Qu Ruoyin's neck. However, her center of gravity was already off balance at this moment, and her neck actually hit the branch on its own.
Seeing that her neck was about to be caught by the branch, Lin Xixue grabbed her collar with her backhand, stopped her falling, and helped her up.
"What if in actual combat against the enemy, what I hold in my hand is a sword instead of a tree branch?" Lin Xixue asked.
Qu Ruoyin was silent. If she was really an enemy, she might have bumped her neck against the opponent's sword just now.
But she quickly began to think, and after a moment she replied: "I understand, what sister means is that when attacking the enemy, if you use all your strength at once and cannot control it, your flaws will be exposed."
"Yes, if you want to use a sword, the first step is to control the sword. Keep your feet steady and hold the sword steadily. Only then can the long sword be used like an arm and the fingers can be used as you wish."
Lin Xixue thought that Qu Ruoyin's understanding was pretty good, so she continued to give instructions. She took the wooden stick from Qu Ruoyin's hand, swung it with her backhand, and struck Qu Ruoyin head-on.
Qu Ruoyin felt a strong wind blowing in front of her forehead. Knowing that she would not be able to avoid this blow, she instinctively closed her eyes.
But the next moment, the wooden stick stopped precisely in front of her forehead. There was only a hair in the gap between the wooden stick and the skin of her forehead.
"This is sword control. When you can control the wooden stick accurately, you can switch to the iron stick. Once you have mastered the iron stick, you have just started. Once you have started to control the sword, you can practice sword moves."
"Thank you sister for your advice!" Qu Ruoyin's eyes instantly lit up, full of longing.
"Well, you can practice your sword by yourself first. I still have some things to deal with. If you have any needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation, you can just tell the maids in the mansion directly."
Qu Ruoyin nodded heavily and watched Lin Xixue leave.
Lin Xixue came to the Chenghuang Temple and saw the Zhike Taoist boy standing at the door again. She went up to him and said, "Little master, we meet again."
"I have met Shangzhen. Did Shangzhen come to find his master?" This Taoist boy was obviously a little cautious in his words and deeds this time, as if he was a little afraid of her.
Lin Xixue smiled and nodded, saying: "Thank you, little master."
Not long after, Miao Zhu came out with a smile on his face.
