Chen Xianchao was like a stone lion standing in front of the door, staring motionlessly at the girl in the rain.
But I saw the girl raised her lotus steps lightly and slowly stopped in front of Chen Xianchao. She collected the paper umbrella under the eaves and handed it to Chen Xianchao.
Like wind chimes.
It was like the beginning of spring, when the gurgling sound of the melting snow fell into Chen Xianchao's ears.
"My name is Gu Miaozai, and I am your fourth mother's sister. From today on, you will call me aunt until your fourth mother comes back."
Chen Xianchao took the wet paper umbrella naturally and said oh.
But then I changed my mind.
Suddenly she exclaimed: "Auntie?"
Gu Miaozai's body paused slightly when he just stepped through the door. He glanced back at Chen Xianchao and said, "Yes, I am your aunt."
Chen Xianchao pursed his lips, followed Gu Miaozai and asked, "Auntie, how old are you this year?"
Gu Miaozai glanced at Chen Xianchao and said with a serious smile, "Didn't your fourth mother teach you not to ask a woman's age easily?"
Chen Xianchao nodded and said, "I said so, but I think you are not older than me. How can Si Niang have a sister as young as you?"
Gu Miaozai frowned slightly and said: "You talk a little too much. Remember, I don't like to make noise. From today on, you must be quiet when you are around me. In the letter, my sister asked me to teach you how to recognize the past and the past. She knows you don't like Chinese characters and has never taught you. But here, if you don't learn, I will beat you."
Listening to Gu Miaozai's words, Chen Xianchao looked at the girl in front of him who was not taller than him, pretending to be mature, he laughed and shouted: "I don't believe you are my aunt, don't try to deceive me. Si Niang just left, You're just here on the back, how can it be such a coincidence. You're such a little guy, but you still want to beat me up?"
As soon as Chen Xianchao spoke, Gu Miaozai held his ear and led him into the hall.
Chen Xianchao felt bad all over. Although Siniang often pinched his ears, her hands were never as strong as Gu Miaozai's. Not only did it hurt, but it also gave him no chance to struggle.
Gu Miaozai sat on the big chair in the middle hall, stared at Chen Xianchao, and said: "If you don't want to call me aunt, you can also call me sir. I will teach you for a day, and you must know how to respect your teacher."
Chen Xianchao rubbed his hot earlobes and said, "I already have a teacher. My mother said that Mr. Liu's talent and learning are unparalleled even in the entire Da Li Dynasty."
Gu Miaozai agreed, without any objection, and said: "Mr. Liu Qiyuan's talent and learning are indeed unique among the eight. Judging from your appearance, I'm afraid it's difficult to imitate him. You don't need to say anything about this, and you can do it right away." Get a pen and paper, and now I will teach you the ancient calligraphy of the past dynasties."
Although Chen Xianchao was reluctant, he could not resist Gu Miaozai's severity.
In the past, when Siniang said she wanted to beat him, she just said it.
But Aunt Gu Miaozai in front of her, a little girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old at most, started to show no mercy at all.
"Auntie, why do you need to learn the ancient characters of the former dynasty? Which former dynasty is the former dynasty?"
Gu Miaozai held the brush, slowly wrote down a few simple ancient characters, pushed it in front of Chen Xianchao, and said, "You don't need to ask, just follow me and learn."
As Gu Miaozai spoke, he seemed to remember something and asked, "Who was here before I came here just now?"
Chen Xianchao looked at the strange words written by Gu Miaozai in front of him and said casually: "Uncle Bai Xing, he was drunk last night and slept on Siniang's bed."
After Chen Xianchao finished speaking, he immediately looked at Gu Miaozai and immediately changed his tone and said, "He slept in my room."
Gu Miaozai ignored the others and only said: "Is it the Jinghong Sword Master Qi Baixing?"
Chen Xianchao nodded.
Gu Miaozai had some thoughts and said, "You don't have to learn anything today. Go find Qi Baixing and tell him that Gu Miaozai from the Southern Dynasty wants to see him."
No need to learn once you hear it.
Chen Xianchao immediately stood up and ran happily outside the house, not forgetting to say: "Auntie, just wait, I will go find Uncle Bai Xing."
Running out of the courtyard, Chen Xianchao looked like a bird out of its cage.
He didn't hold an umbrella either. The rain once made him feel cold. Now he also enjoyed the feeling of the cool autumn raindrops hitting his face in the morning.
When I was walking to the crossroads of Peach Blossom Town, I met a girl holding an oil umbrella and holding a bowl of steaming sweet potatoes in one hand.
"Brother Xianchao."
"I was just going to find you. My mother cooked sweet potatoes. They were very sweet."
Chen Xianchao briefly talked about Gu Miaozai's matter, took a sweet potato from the girl's arms, took a bite, and said: "It's so delicious, but now I have to go find Uncle Bai Xing, keep the sweet potato for me!"
Seeing Chen Xianchao running away, the girl murmured: "Gu Miaozai from the Southern Dynasty."
Then, instead of going home, he went straight to the small courtyard where Gu Miaozai was.
The autumn rain gradually began to get heavier, and the sound of drizzle gradually became the sound of rain hitting the tiles.
Gu Miaozai looked at the girl in front of the door and said, "If you have any questions, leave after asking."
The girl put the sweet potatoes on the table in the hall and the oil umbrella in front of the door.
"Gu Miaozai, the master of the Sixteen Sword Sects of the Southern Dynasties."
"Since I came to Peach Blossom Town, your name has almost faded out of my world."
Gu Miaozai looked at the girl carefully for a few times, then remembered her, nodded slightly and said: "I remember that you are Li Xuansu, the daughter of the former Northern Territory General Li Guanshan. Six years ago on the Compassion Mountain of the Southern Dynasty, you and I snatched a sword. sword."
Gu Miaozai thought of this and said with some regret: "Although you were only one hand behind me at that time, I felt that you should be stronger. Dajing's national hatred restrained you. When you came to Peach Blossom Town, your cultivation became slower and slower. "
Li Xuansu said: "I have no doubts about coming here. I just heard from the Immortal Dynasty that you are here. I just want to see where the proud daughter of the Southern Dynasty has reached now! Now it seems that you have not disappointed anyone."
After Li Xuansu finished speaking, he was about to take the umbrella and leave.
Gu Miaozai said: "It will take at least a few months for Siniang to go to Qingliang Mountain. During this time, I will be in Taohua Town and can help you break through the current bottleneck."
Li Xuansu held up an umbrella and said: "My bottleneck can be broken at any time, but I just don't want to. When Siniang comes back, His Highness will get rid of the impermanent cold poison, and he will definitely enter the martial arts. At that time, I will work with him to rebuild his realm."
Gu Miaozai was slightly startled.
Rebuild your realm.
This requires not only courage, but also perseverance. It is difficult to predict the future.
When Li Xuansu stepped out of the eaves, he looked back and said: "I know your purpose of meeting Qi Baixing, but he will not draw a sword with you now. Outside Taohua Town, Da Li's eyes are everywhere. You should understand this along the way. , Da Li can’t see anyone becoming powerful in Taohua Town now.”
Gu Miaozai said: "Mu Qinghong is very strong. If he wants to overthrow the Da Li Palace, even Xu Changxuan can't resist it. Everyone in Taohua Town is waiting for Chen Xianchao to see his future clearly. In my opinion, you guys have been Wrong, towering trees that can withstand the storm cannot grow in a greenhouse."
Li Xuansu didn't talk and left in the rain.
Gu Miaozai shook his head and felt sorry for Li Xuansu again.
"If there was no hatred between the country and the family, your sword would be enough to make the world tremble. It's just a pity that you are only sixteen years old."
Chen Xianchao searched all the places where Qi Baixing might appear, but could not find any trace of Qi Baixing.
From a distance, Liu Zhongdao looked at Chen Xianchao in the rain.
He was a few years older than Chen Xianchao, and he knew very well that Chen Xianchao was most afraid of being in the rain.
"Immortal Dynasty."
Liu Zhongdao waved his arms and called Chen Xianchao, while holding an oil umbrella and running towards Chen Xianchao.
"Brother Liu."
Liu Zhongdao protected Chen Xianchao from the rain and said with a smile: "I heard that Siniang has gone to Qingliang Mountain. Are you free now? Let's have a drink secretly tonight?"
Chen Xianchao said helplessly: "Sixth Mother is gone, but here comes a more ferocious aunt. She wants to see Uncle Bai Xing now. I'm not looking for it. I thought I could taste the taste of drunkenness and sleepiness in Brother Liu's mouth."
Liu Zhongdao asked doubtfully: "Auntie? Isn't it possible that Siniang's sister is that Gu Miaozai from the Southern Dynasty?"
Chen Xianchao looked at Liu Zhongdao in surprise and said, "Brother Liu, how did we meet him?"
Liu Zhongdao smacked his lips and said: "Tsk! What a great aunt you are! Siniang's name is loud enough. In the past few years, Gu Miaozai has been vigorously reorganizing the sixteen major sword sects in the Southern Dynasties and uniting them. He has become the master of the Sixteen Sword Sect. Looking at the world today, it is difficult for anyone of the same age to compare with him."
Liu Zhongdao patted Chen Xianchao on the shoulder and said: "If we want to drink secretly in the future, please don't tell your aunt. I can't beat her!"
Chen Xianchao asked curiously: "Can Uncle Bai Xing beat her?"
Liu Zhongdao shook his head and said: "I really can't say for sure. In the past, people in the world said, "There is the Qingtian Martial Saint Mu Qinghong in the north, and the Jinghong Sword Saint Qi Baixing in the south." This was only within the scope of the previous dynasty. Knowing that now the world What do people say?”
Chen Xianchao has been in Taohua Town since he can remember. Even though the scope of his activities is very limited, fortunately, he is optimistic by nature and never questions why Siniang always restrains him. He knew Gu Siniang's thoughts, and those things he didn't understand must have enough power to hurt him.
Therefore, his curiosity about the outside world comes from the mouths of other people in Peach Blossom Town. But many people in Taohua Town were unwilling to say too much to him, except for Li Xuansu and Liu Zhongdao.
But these two people.
It was Liu Zhongdao who spoke to him the most.
Liu Zhongdao always said that Chen Xianchao could not leave Taohua Town because of the hidden illness in his body. Because only Zhang Weizhi in the world could cure him, so Chen Xianchao needed to stay in Taohua Town so that Zhang Weizhi could save his life at any time.
in this way.
Liu Zhongdao said, although you can't go out, Brother Liu is your eyes and ears, and I will tell you everything about the outside world.
Chen Xianchao trusted Liu Zhongdao very much and never questioned everything Liu Zhongdao said.
"Brother Liu, tell me quickly, tell me quickly, what do people in the world say now?"
Liu Zhongdao chuckled and said: "Today's world is a huge river and lake. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. There is no longer the Martial Saint Mu Qinghong in the north, and there is no Jinghong Sword Saint Qi Baixing in the south. Everyone in the world says that this river and lake is divided into twelve parts. Among them, Zhao Xiansong, the Northwestern Cangxuan Sword Immortal, has one fight, Beihai Qingjing Monk Master Konghua has one fight, Dongdao World’s Second Best Master Hong Zhilong has one fight, and Southern Dynasties Sixteen Sword Sect Master Gu Miaozai has nine fights.”
Chen Xianchao stared and asked, "Doesn't that mean that my aunt is the best in the world?"
Liu Zhongdao smiled and said: "People in the world talk about the world, these are just compliments. But if it can be spread, no matter who is on the list, there must be something powerful. Immortal Dynasty, this world is too big, you have to know , there are not only dragons but also giant beasts in this water. Those who don’t show off their mountains and water are truly terrifying people.”
in this way.
Liu Zhongdao said sincerely: "Listen carefully to your aunt. Fourth mother is reluctant to beat you. I guess I won't show mercy to you, your aunt."
Chen Xianchao took Liu Zhongdao's oil umbrella but did not find Qi Baixing. Chen Xianchao felt that his ears might still suffer, but he had to return home.
Liu Zhongdao just returned to the private school in Taohua Town.
Looking at Qi Baixing sitting opposite his father, he saluted and sat next to them.
Liu Zhongdao thought about Chen Xianchao's expression like a bitter melon, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha! Mr. Qi should see His Highness's face today. There are few people who can make him feel so scared."
Qi Baixing nodded and said softly: "Although the Gu family is in the Southern Dynasty, because of Siniang's relationship, the Dali Dynasty has already recognized the Gu family as the remnant party of Dajing. Gu Miaozai now dominates the world in the eyes of the people, compared to Siniang's reputation was even more terrifying back then. It might not be a bad thing for us that Da Li throws a rat weapon."
Liu Qiyuan stroked his long beard and thought: "If Gu Miaozai had not entered Taohua Town, Da Li would not be sure of the Gu family's attitude. Now that Gu Miaozai has entered Taohua Town, in Da Li's view, many uncertain things have become certain. This It’s not a blessing, it’s probably a curse.”
"Mu Qinghong robbed the dragon root grass and had to leave here in order not to bring trouble to Taohua Town. The hawks and dogs of the Qintian Prison had already reported the matter back. Now that Gu Miaozai came, Da Liruo was really cruel and torn apart. The agreement we made back then was ruined, and it is difficult to protect His Highness’s safety amid the storm in Peach Blossom Town.”
Qi Baixing pondered and said, "Sister Siang must have thought of this. She let Gu Miaozai come in at this time. She must have learned something, which forced her to make some preparations in advance."
Qi Baixing said, taking the fragrant tea sent by Liu Qiyuan, and added: "Before Siniang left, she told me that she would let His Highness start using the sword."
