Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword

Out of Xinzhou City, along the Canglan River all the way, it is the continuous Xiliang Mountains. However, because of its geographical location, it is not as deserted as Kunlun. Instead, the closer it is to the Xiliang Mountain, the more lively and prosperous it is. There are shops and tourists of all kinds. Some people have more places, and the things they sell are becoming more and more abundant. Lin Rufei saw a lot of shops selling fairy housewares. Most of the things inside were extraordinary, and they were all traded with spirit stones.

Lin Rufei looked for a few, went in, and bought some interesting gadgets, such as buns that would make the hair discolored when inserted into the hair, and for example, a small one that would be remembered when it looked like a person. I bought a bunch of useful and useless mirrors, which I wanted to give as gifts to two young maids as gadgets. Who knew that the maids were very disgusting, and even Yu Rui raised her head and said, "You are too naive, son, I am already fourteen this year. Where can I play these things!"

Lin Rufei's innocent eyes: "Isn't it interesting?"

Yu Rui said: "How interesting? This thing is used to amuse children!"

Lin Rufei looked at the things in his hand, and for a long time, he silently put them into his Xuna ring, sitting in the corner with a melancholy expression.

Seeing this, Yuhua gave Yu Rui a shudder, saying, "How do you talk to the boy, boy, boy, those things I like, you give me!"

Lin Rufei said, "Forget it, your tone is too much like coaxing a child, just keep it by myself." After muttering again, "I don't want to give it to you."

Gu Xuan all laughed and gloated.

After arriving at the inn, several people checked in with the shopkeeper about the news of Xiliang Mountain. Who knew that when the shopkeeper was about to go to Xiliang Mountain, they frowned and said: "My son wants to pass through Xiliang Mountain and go to Central Plains. what?"

Lin Rufei nodded.

The shopkeeper said: "Then you can pay more attention, it is best to go with a large caravan. If there is no caravan, at least you must hire a few reliable dartists. The wild animals in Xiliangshan are not only fierce but also powerful. If the ruthless bandit meets, there will be no death. "He froze the pale complexion and fragile body of Gao Linru Fei in anxiety, and glanced at the two and a half-large girls with floating eyes and stamens. He sighed and sighed like the old man, "If the son really wants to go, don't hesitate to pay attention to the beasts who don't pay attention to any pity."

Lin Rufei responded to the shopkeeper's kindness and said that he would consider it carefully.

The mountains of Xiliang Mountain are continuous. Except for a main road, they are almost all dense and dense forests. Even if you walk with the sword, you have to walk for ten and a half months to leave the mountain, and if you ride a horse, it will be even longer. Fortunately, the business of Xinzhou City is flourishing. Many places have large caravans. Individuals can pay more money to follow them. Of course, not all individual customers in the caravan can come in, and the caravan will choose one. After all, if the invitation comes in with a deliberate intention, I am afraid the entire caravan will suffer.

Fuhua volunteered and said that she would ask if there were any caravans to cross the mountain. If there weren't, there would be two conscious dartists. Although she and Yu Rui are long and cute, they are also the immortals of the Five Realms. The average gangster is not a dish in front of her.

The floating flower went looking for someone, and Lin Rufei was idle and bored, and walked around the inn.

The inn is very lively around, and there are small vendors yelling everywhere. Lin Rufei went to buy a sugar gourd and chewed around while watching the lively. In fact, he has always liked places with strong atmosphere in rivers and lakes, as well as in Kunlun, but because of his special status, people will be cast different eyes wherever he goes, so he would rather stay on the mountain.

While eating a delicious candy gourd, Lin Rufei heard the cries of drinking on the corner of the street. In the past, he saw that a thin young man was selling shields.

"The shield I sell is not the same as a normal shield. Even the best sword in the world, it can't be pierced!" The boy looks good, with a bright eyebrow and a handsome appearance, but he wears a short-fitting blouse. But he was embarrassed by him. He stood on the side of the road, holding a gray wooden shield in his hand, and shouted loudly, "I don't believe you can try it, but if the sword is broken, I won't compensate! "

A good visitor heard this and immediately walked out of the crowd. When he was in front of the teenager, he pulled out the saber on the waist and laughed, "How small is such a small wooden shield? Now people are not afraid to brag It's blown! "

The crowd laughed when they heard the words.

The young man was not angry, raised his hand to raise the wooden shield, and smiled, "Do you want to try it? Let me say first, if the sword is broken ..."

Before he finished speaking, the visitor said impatiently: "I know that children don't know how high the earth is today. I'd like to see today how powerful a wooden shield you don't have the slightest aura."

He said he raised his sabre in his hand, and stabbed at the wooden shield.

The sword and the wooden shield struck each other, and a "click" sounded. Before everyone could see it, they saw that the sharp-edged blade was broken like this, and there was a trace on the wooden shield. nothing.

"How can this be?" The man was stunned. "This ... this ..." His next move was to step forward and hold the young man's collar, but he was avoided by the boy who had expected it, and the young man laughed. "Hey, this elder brother, I have reminded you long ago that you can't rely on me for this matter--"

"You and you! This is my ancestral sabre! You just shattered me!" The popularity was desperate, "Of course you have to pay me!"

The young man said innocently, "But it's you who came out and chopped it with your own sword, which blame me?"

Some people in the crowd were embarrassed and began to talk about it, saying that this man was too unreasonable, and the young man had already reminded him early that he didn't know how important it was, and the sword should be broken.

The man heard the words of everyone, and became angry and angry: "Who, who is **** talking, give me out! I think you are all with him, and count me together!"

Everyone was afraid of him, so they laughed. There were a lot of ridiculous words. The man saw the situation was not good, his face was blue and purple, and finally turned away with his teeth, but he gave the young man a severe glance when he left. He said that after seeing this young man, see him once and hit once.

The spectators yelled at his dingy back.

The man left, and the young man continued to sell his wooden shield. This time, there were obviously more interested people. The young man said that the wooden shield was made of special iron and wood. It was originally only a small piece, so it was made. With such a small shield, it is said that although this thing has no aura, even if an aura sword meets it, it can't be pleased. Of course, the most important thing is that the price is not expensive, and a medium spirit stone can be taken away.

Some people in the onlookers began to bargain with the teenager, saying that a medium spirit stone is too expensive, and this shield is no good. If the teenager is willing to accept the price of fifty inferior stones, the shield will be taken away. The young man refused to let go. He glanced around the crowd, but somehow fell on Lin Rufei, and walked in front of Lin Rufei a few steps and said: "This son, but for this wooden shield, interested?"

"Me?" Lin Rufei pointed to himself, "How do you see that I am interested in this wooden shield?"

The young man said, “It ’s true, I ’m just here, and I ’m going to find a caravan to pay some money to cross the Xiliang Mountain. Unfortunately, I ’m so shy, I have to sell my housekeeper baby and watch you dress. It ’s not like a lack of money, BMW is a hero, and I, a shield, is naturally worthy of a VIP like you. ”

This is pretty beautiful, Lin Rufei laughed: "My mouth is very sweet."

"That's it, that's it," said the young man. "If you think it's expensive, I can give you a little less, but it's not too much. The ten most inferior stones are equal." One hundred inferior stones is equal to one medium. Spirit stone.

Lin Rufei didn't have any idea of ​​money, nor did he know how much a medium spirit stone was worth. When he went down the mountain, his brothers and sisters gave him several bags, not to mention the medium spirit stone. The gadgets he just bought used more than a hundred fast medium spirit stones, so facing the young man ’s asking for a medium spirit stone, it feels like he has become a participant in the river and lake art books. I find it quite interesting.

The young man talked again and again, Lin Rufei was very satisfied, and finally took out the spirit stone from his pocket, handed it to the young man, took the wooden shield, and smiled, "No need to find it."

The boy collected the spirit stone, but showed reluctance to the wooden shield. After a moment of hesitation, he whispered: "My son, this wooden shield is a gift from my old master. If I meet with you in the future, can I be with you? Redeem. "

"Yes." This wooden shield was just a pleasure for Lin Rufei, so he responded with a swift response.

The teenager sighed and turned away slowly.

When Lin Rufei and the boy were talking, Gu Xuan didn't say anything. Until they went to a quiet place, Lin Rufei turned to look at him and asked with a smile: "Why don't you talk?"

Gu Xuandu pretended to be innocent: "Say what?"

"That young man is obviously a little liar, why don't you say it?" Lin Rufei laughed. There was no blame in the words, but she was a little curious. Gu Xuandu is different from him. This little trick must be seen through at a glance.

Gu Xuandu said: "You were originally looking for fun, why should I sweep your interest." Moreover, Lin Rufei's expression at the time was obviously not unaware of anything.

"That boy is quite fun, but unfortunately the routine is a bit more old-fashioned," Lin Rufei said as he walked. "It is exactly the same as in the textbook." He thought for a moment, and said seriously, "I think I can do better than him. . "

Gu Xuandu laughed: "If you are free, let's try?"

Lin Rufei was eager to try.

This young Master Lin family has been on Kunlun for twenty years, but he finally got down the mountain and wanted to try everything. The young man's performance was so hard that he could not be overstated as a reward.

On the way back to the inn, Gu Xuandu and Lin Rufei mentioned the practice of swords, saying that Gu Yu was used to the breath of Lin Rufei, and then he would teach him some simple moves to draw out the sword in his body. Unlike the swords learned by others the day after tomorrow, Lin Rufei is born with a sword, and ordinary killing moves are enough.

Lin Rufei was excited when he heard practicing sword. Gu Xuandu also told him that after that he could learn to attach the sword to other things, just like Meng Fuli and Qi Shousheng archery.

When Lin Rufei listened to the confusion, Gu Xuandu stopped talking. Until he arrived at the inn, the two entered the room. He grabbed something and taught Lin Rufei to practice.

"You must first feel the existence of the sword." Gu Xuandu said, "This is more difficult for you, just like a person who has lived in water since he was a child, but needs to feel water."

Lin Rufei listened to Gu Xuandu's teaching carefully and tried a little bit.

Gu Xuandu gave an example: "Jianyi is not just a weapon, it can also be used as a defense. For example, if you attach Jianyi to the wooden shield you just bought, more swords than this can't break this shield. . "

Lin Rufei nodded seriously.

The two practiced for a long time, until the footsteps of the floating flower Yu Rui came, the two stopped.

Fu Hua shouted outside the house, "Master, we are back."

Lin Rufei said, "Come in."

The two came in one after the other, talking about going out today. Fuhua successfully found a caravan who was willing to take them, except that the immortal Xiongxian who was the highest caravan team could only do so. In addition, the caravan is large and carrying heavy cargo, I am afraid that the walking speed will be very slow.

"There are too many people in the caravan. Although there are many guards, but the tail is not big enough. If I am a bandit, I will definitely focus on them first." Fuhua Road, "I thought of this, then I thought of another way, and planned to find something. The local people in the road took us across the Xiliang Mountain. It was fast and safe, and it was not easy to attract attention. Master, do you think? "

Lin Rufei nodded and agreed with Fuhua's proposal: "Did anyone find it?"

"I found it. It's a young native. It is said that he grew up on the Xiliang Mountain since he was a child." Fu Hua said, "Man is very clever and doesn't know swordsmanship. He can't produce any moths."

Lin Rufei nodded and said, "Okay."

Before going up the mountain, they made some other preparations and bought a lot of dry food and clothing. Of course, most of these things were handled by the maids. Lin Rufei followed Gu Xuandu every day to learn how to manipulate the sword in his body. . Gu Xuandu said that although his talent was good, his body was too weak to bear too much strength and could only come slowly. The main task now is to introduce Jianyi from the body to foreign objects.

The wooden shield that happened to be bought, although it wasn't iron, was still strong, so Lin Rufei took it as a target for carrying power and tried every day carefully.

The maids were very surprised to see their young master liked this plain wooden shield so much, and asked when Lin Rufei bought it.

Lin Rufei laughed and told the two people what happened that day, saying that she had taken advantage.

After listening to them, Yu Rui's expression was unknown, but Yu Rui was pinching the flesh on her arm, and she burst into tears. Fu Hua was smiling beside Lin Rufei and said, "This wood Shield really looks different. Master's vision is really good. "

"Yeah, yeah, I think I have a good vision." Lin Rufei laughed. "The next time I meet, remind me to remember to buy another one."

Although the floating flower was secretly grinding teeth, she still coaxed Lin Rufei to say that she was good. What she thought was not to let her carry the wooden shield to her young master's kid, otherwise he might be beaten up. .

Recently, the weather is gradually getting hot, and Lin Rufei finally has no need to wear a cloak all the time.

The day of departure was also a comfortable sunny day, with the breeze blowing slightly, and the slightest coolness blowing the curtain of the carriage.

Lin Rufei was sitting in the carriage, drinking plum tea prepared by Yu Rui, and heard the floating flowers of the car coming out of the channel: "Are all the things you should bring? If you have brought them, come up, there is my son in the house, Remember to respect it. "

Someone outside responded well, and climbed into the carriage, carefully lifted the curtain, and saw Lin Rufei sitting in the car with a tea bowl and drinking tea.

The two eyes were opposite each other, but the atmosphere seemed to be stagnant. Lin Rufei showed a kind smile, and said, "Oh, so coincident."

"Yes ... It's a coincidence." It was the young man who sold the wooden shield to Lin Rufei a few days ago. At this time, he was carrying a large burden and a flattering smile on his face, but this smile was After seeing Lin Rufei, she froze on her face, and she said nothing for a while, but Lin Rufei said hello first.

"Well, do you know each other?" Fuhua wondered.

Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Did you not ask me who sold my wooden shield before? It's this guy."

As soon as Fu Hua's face collapsed, she remembered something, and barely smirked, "Oh, it's you."

The young man yelled at Master.

Lin Rufei said, "Have you asked your name yet?"

The boy said, "My surname is Mo ..."

Lin Rufei said: "What is it called?"

The boy said, "It's called Mo Zhaocai."

Everyone laughed at this name, even Fuhua's eyes showed some smiles.

Lin Rufei also laughed and asked him, "Why did you choose such a name." If it was just fortune-telling, it would be the last name.

Mo Zhaocai laughed: "I didn't have any parents since I was a child. I grew up as a servant in a house, and the family gave me a name, but it didn't seem to match my last name." He didn't show any embarrassing look because of his name, but was very proud.

Mo Zhaocai waited for everyone to laugh, and looked carefully at Lin Rufei, whispering: "Son, do you still need me to lead the way?"

Lin Rufei blinked: "Why not?"

Mo Zhaocai said: "This is not the last few days ..."

Lin Rufei said, "Wooden Shield?" He said seriously, "I like that wooden shield very much, and the maids also praise my vision."

Mo Zhaocai was stunned, and stared at the expressionless floating flower next to Yu Guang. The floating flower winked at him. He was quick to understand the spirit, and didn't dare to answer, just nodded.

After Lin Rufei teased Mo Zhaocai, he signaled him to come in, shifted the topic and asked about Xiliangshan.

When talking about familiar places, Mo Zhaocai immediately showed his unparalleled powerful eloquence, talking vividly about the story of Xiliang Mountain, what seduced the scholar's wild wild fox spirits, what is the favorite tree-eating ghost like the eye-catching, Live as if you've seen it with your own eyes.

Lin Rufei listened with interest and asked him how many times he had been to Xiliang Mountain.

Mo Zhaocai said with a smile: "This Xiliang Mountain is in my eyes, my finger, one two three four five, all are very clear, whether it is the mainland or the trail, as long as they follow me, never lost."

Lin Rufei said: "So powerful?"

"Yeah, but just listen to the stories of the monsters. The most terrible thing on the mountain is the bandits, especially the group named Baoshou. They not only rob money, but also kill people. Inside the cottage, men and women are irrelevant, ”Mo Zhaocai said.“ But we are individual customers. Their goals are all big caravans, so they are safe, so do n’t worry too much. ”

After he said it, he smiled again with a grimace: "Moreover, there are two beautiful sisters who are so high, and I forgive them for not doing it."

Lin Rufei nodded.

Mo Zhaocai is a lively young man, just different from Meng Langruo's lively. He will judge the situation and know the topics he likes and dislikes. As long as Lin Rufei shows a little disinterest, he will be keen to observe and observe. Change topics quickly.

He is so young, but he has developed such a character, and he has suffered a lot.

Mo Zhaocai spoke for a long time, and saw Lin Rufei not to mention the wooden shield again, and then he breathed a little. Lin Rufei poured a cup of plum tea and handed it to him, begging him to moisten his mouth.

Mo Zhaocai took it over in amazement, and sipped it, praising: "It's so good, I've never had such a good tea."

Lin Rufei said, "Are you the Mo family?"

Mo Zhaocai scratched his head: "Where can I count as Mo's family, just a servant who was kicked out, because this surname is given by the owner and does not want to change at will, this continues to use."

Lin Rufei nodded.

He had heard the name of the Mo family, and had seen the disciples of the Mo family in the Jianhui in the past few years, but unfortunately something happened to the Mo family, and then gradually faded. Now in Xinzhou, the Meng family is the only one in the country. Home has become the foil. But the hundred-footed worms die but are not stiff. Compared with some mortal families without cultivating immortals, they are still regarded as powerful.

"It's a pity that the Mo family wouldn't be the same as today if Mo Changshan did not die." These girls, Yu Rui, are much clearer than Lin Rufei, she sighed. What a heroic posture the sword went down in the sky and changed its colors, and the water was diverted, but it was a pity ... "Unfortunately, Yingnian died early and died so miserably.

Mo Zhaocai laughed: "Don't talk about these unpleasant things, but please be happy." He seemed unwilling to mention more about the Mo family, and then talked about the strange things in Xiliangshan and Xinzhou. .

He was in the middle of the market, and the story he knew was naturally wonderful. Lin Rufei listened with interest, and Mo Zhaocai seemed to have energy. Even after talking for an afternoon, he saw no pause. In the end, instead, Lin Rufei was sleepy before he yawned. Mo Zhaocai stopped and let Lin Rufei rest.

Lin Rufei bowed his head and said, "You can rest for a while."

"Okay, son, you don't need to worry about me, I'm very mean." Mo Zhaocai smiled.

Lin Rufei lay on the couch, and whispered to Gu Xuandu before going to bed: "Is this Mo Zhaocai fun?" People who are praised by Gu Xuandu are always in trouble.

Gu Xuandu said: "There is so much talk, my brain hurts."

Lin Rufei smiled.

"No wonder he," Gu Xuandu said. "It's normal for people like this to talk a lot."

Lin Rufei made a noise and looked at Gu Xuandu hesitantly: "Your spirit doesn't seem to be good, isn't it uncomfortable?" Since yesterday, Gu Xuandu looked stunned. Very rare.

Gu Xuandu shook his head to show that he was not inconvenienced.

Lin Rufei wants to ask again, but he has gently pressed Lin Rufei's shoulder, and said warmly: "Don't worry about me, if there is anything, I will definitely tell you."

Lin Rufei: "In truth?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Naturally take it seriously."

Lin Rufei heard a sigh, thinking that her predecessors would lie, but she didn't speak, but nodded gently.

The author has something to say: Lin Rufei: Are you really uncomfortable?

Gu Xuandu: Do you want to help me deal with uncomfortable places?

Lin Rufei: Yes-wait! !! You untie the belt and I chop you with a sword.

Gu Xuandu is aggrieved: You obviously agreed.

Lin Rufei: ...
