Qiankun Fantasy Sword Record

In front of a building, there were crowds of people, all of whom were men. Most of them were either rich or noble in their clothing. Qin Muchu hated the children of rich families, but now that he had grown up and had read and gained knowledge, he no longer disliked them in his heart.

They were killed. He relied on his flexible body to push his way into the crowd, and the crowd suddenly burst into curses:

"Damn it, which bastard pushed me out? Damn it!"

"Yo! You're a young boy, and you're here to join in the fun?"

"Ouch! My feet! Ouch!"

"Don't squeeze in the back, there's no room to stand in there!"

"..."

"..."

Qin Muchu ignored this and tried his best to squeeze to the front of the building. There was a plaque hanging on the upper floor with the three characters "Liuhua Pavilion" written on it. When Qin Muchu saw it, he couldn't help but whisper: "'Liuhua Pavilion', what?"

What a place? It’s so lively.”

An old man standing calmly next to him listened and continued: "Boy, I don't know where this 'Liuhua Pavilion' is, so why are you squeezing in? You just ran away from home, right?"

Qin Muchu said curiously: "Hey! How do you know?"

The old man said: "Of course I know. Only people who have never walked around outside don't know this place. Seeing that you respect me so much, I will tell you, this is a good place for us men, and the girls inside are very charming!"

"After saying this, he looked like he was having an aftertaste.

Qin Muchu thought: "This old man, I just asked him a question, and he said that I respected him. It's really ridiculous." But he said with a belated look: "Oh! It turns out to be a brothel!"

Seeing the old man's expression, I thought to myself: "This old man must visit here often. Just looking at his shriveled body is really worrying."

Another person on the other side patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, what's wrong? You just came out to hang out?"

After hearing this, Qin Muchu wanted to say, "How do you know?", but when he thought about it, he realized that the man must have listened to the conversation between him and the old man. He turned to look at the man, who was a tall young man.

How much older was Qin Muchu? The man was looking at him, smiled at him, and said, "My name is Lin Liqiu, what's your name, brother?"

Qin Muchu saw that the man named Lin Liqiu had a knife on his waist. Knowing that he was from Jianghu, he clasped his hands and said, "My name is Qin Muchu. I just came out from home. Please give me some advice."

The old man next to him suddenly called out softly: "Lin Liqiu, are you Lin Liqiu who knows autumn with just one leaf?"

Lin Liqiu replied: "Exactly, I am 'a leaf that knows autumn'."

After hearing this, Qin Muchu thought to himself: "It turns out that this man still has a name in the world, and it is still very famous. It seems that I want to get closer to him."

After the old man confirmed his suspicion, he stopped and became silent. He wanted to move back, but he couldn't - there were too many people behind him.

Qin Muchu asked Lin Liqiu: "Master Lin, what are you doing standing here?"

Lin Liqiu laughed and said: "Hahaha, hero? Hahaha, I can't bear this name. Brother, since you think highly of me, you call me big brother, and I will call you brother, how about that?"

Qin Muchu hurriedly replied: "I don't dare to invite you despite my wishes. Then I will call you big brother. Brother Lin!"

Lin Liqiu responded and was about to speak when he saw a middle-aged woman walking out of the building. When Qin Muchu saw it, he thought to himself: "This must be the boss of Liuhua Pavilion, but she is not as described in the book."

She has oily hair and powdered face, and is just posing. But her whole person is simple and elegant." She was seen wearing light blue clothes, with just a thin layer of powder on her face, looking stable and sophisticated.

Lin Liqiu lowered his head and said to Qin Muchu, "She is Huang Yuniang, the master of Liuhua Pavilion." Qin Muchu showed an expression that was indeed true.

As soon as Huang Yuniang came out, someone in the noisy crowd shouted: "Come out, come out, stop making noise, listen..." Then the whole crowd gradually became quiet. Huang Yuniang turned her eyes in the crowd, and then turned to

Everyone was slightly blessed and said: "I, Yu Niang, am the master of Liuhua Pavilion. I am very happy that you think highly of Liuhua. I would like to thank you in advance." Her voice was clear, soft and powerful, and she said

It is a blessing to be healthy again.

Someone shouted: "Boss Huang, please stop being so long-winded and get to the point."

Huang Yuniang smiled slightly, as if she was laughing at the impatient person who spoke, and then said: "Well, I won't say anything more. All of you here today just want to see Miss Lanxiang."

Xianzi. But Miss Lanxiang has just arrived in Liuhua and needs to rest. I think you can meet her tonight."

When the crowd heard this, they started to stir and talk. Qin Muchu also took the opportunity to ask Lin Liqiu: "Brother Lin, who is this girl Lanxiang? Why do so many people want to see her?"

Lin Liqiu was about to answer when the old man started talking again: "Sir, Miss Lanxiang is one of the four most famous prostitutes in the country. Everyone wants to see her but can't. Today I heard that she came to Liuhua Pavilion

, I all want to kiss Fangze." The old man did not call Qin Muchu "boy", but called him "gongzi". He thought he changed his tune after seeing him getting involved with Lin Liqiu.

Qin Muchu didn't pay attention, and then said: "Isn't she just a prostitute? Is it worthy of such a sensation?"

Lin Liqiu replied: "Brother, you don't know something about this. These four famous prostitutes are all as beautiful as flowers, better than the gods, and they are all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They usually live in the capital, and they are only high-ranking officials.

Only noble people can see it. Sometimes I also travel to various places to connect with brothels in various places to build relationships and strengthen exchanges." (Reader: Hey, brothels also strengthen exchanges? Isn't it a big joke? Author: Brothels were a legal institution in ancient times.

Communication between units and brothels should be normal.)

Qin Muchu said "Oh" to show that he understood, and thought to himself: "In that case, I would like to meet this girl Lanxiang."

At this time, Huang Yuniang raised her voice and said: "Everyone, everyone wants to see Miss Lanxiang tonight. I can understand this. However, Liuhua Pavilion is such a small place, how can I accommodate you all?

?”

So everyone started talking again. Qin Muchu thought about it. With so many people going in, it would be strange not to tear down Liuhua Pavilion.

When Huang Yuniang saw this, she was not annoyed. Instead, she smiled and continued: "I have an idea, but I don't know if you guys..." She stopped deliberately.

Someone said: "If Boss Huang has any ideas, please tell us. As long as we can see Miss Lanxiang, we will do it." Others also echoed in agreement.

Huang Yuniang was very satisfied with the expected results, so she said: "Miss Lanxiang once told me that there are many talented people in the south of the Yangtze River. She went south this time just to meet the talents in the south of the Yangtze River, so she wants to meet Miss Lanxiang tonight."

Yes, you need to answer three questions correctly before you can meet Miss Lanxiang. The questions were asked by Miss Lanxiang herself. What do you think?"

After everyone heard this, they felt that this proposal was good. It could not only solve the problem of overcrowding, but also show off their talents. Why not? So they all agreed. After Huang Yuniang agreed on a time, everyone slowly dispersed.

.

Lin Liqiu said to Qin Muchu: "Brother, let's not stand here and drink from the northwest wind. Let's go. Brother Lin will treat you to a drink." After saying that, regardless of whether Qin Muchu agreed or not, he took him and left.

Entering a restaurant called "Gaosheng", only a few tables were empty, while the others were full of people, most of whom were the people who had just gathered around Liuhua Pavilion.

Lin Liqiu took Qin Muchu to a random table and sat down. The waiter came over and asked, "Two guests, what do you want?"

Lin Liqiu said: "Bring me five kilograms of wine and some good dishes. Brother, just order whatever you want."

Qin Muchu has grown up, and this is the first time he has eaten in such a grand restaurant, and he is still a little scared. Before he was twelve years old, he wandered outside, let alone such a restaurant, even the small noodle stalls on the street were not allowed to him.

Staying a few more steps, he didn't even dare to dream of entering the restaurant for dinner. Later, when he arrived at Green Willow Manor, he only focused on studying literature and martial arts. Besides, He Fengyang didn't let him leave the manor. So when he went to the restaurant,

He was feeling dizzy. When he heard Lin Liqiu's question, he woke up and replied: "Brother Lin, I'll do whatever I want." This was his real thought, because when he was a street boy, he didn't eat any food.

After hearing this, Lin Liqiu thought he was very easy-going and easy to get along with.

At this time, a conversation came from the next table:

"Brother Zhang, with your talent, you will definitely be able to pass five levels and kill six generals tonight, and get to see Miss Lanxiang. I'm afraid I'm going to miss it. Alas." But there was no trace of frustration in the sigh.

It tastes like a hundredfold confidence.

After hearing this, Brother Zhang did not doubt that he had it, as if he had passed five levels and killed six generals, and said smugly: "Brother Li, don't be discouraged. Miss Lanxiang will stay here for a few days, and you will always have something to show for it."

When I saw her."

Qin Muchu was secretly amused after hearing this. He asked Lin Liqiu in a low voice: "Brother Lin, how much silver do you need to spend one night with Miss Lanxiang?"

Lin Liqiu was drinking the wine that the waiter had just served, and laughed after hearing this. However, when he laughed, the wine choked his throat, causing him to cough for a long time, and then he panted and said to Qin Muchu: "Brother, what did you just say?

Come out, haha, those four famous prostitutes are just prostitutes, not their bodies. I don’t know how many royal family and nobles want to get them, but up to now, they are still keeping their virginity."

Qin Muchu wondered: "As long as the royal family and nobles use their power, won't everything be solved?"

Lin Liqiu sighed: "Brother, if you don't know about officialdom, it's hard to explain clearly. To put it simply, those rich officials want to get them, and they restrain each other, but no one can get them. Another one

They are also often invited to perform in the palace, so no one dares to use force on them. It is precisely because of this that the dignitaries want to curry favor with them and do not dare to offend them easily."

Qin Muchu exclaimed: "I didn't expect them to be so powerful!"

Lin Liqiu stared at Qin Muchu and said, "Brother, aren't you having some crooked ideas?"

Qin Muchu heard this and immediately said: "How could that be?"

Lin Liqiu laughed a few times and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, let's drink!"

Qin Muchu said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Lin, I...I don't know how to drink."

Lin Liqiu said: "How can a man not know how to drink when he is out in the world? Come on, learn to drink a little first."

After hearing this, Qin Muchu thought: "Yes, I am a man, how can I not drink?" So he raised the wine and poured a sip of wine into his mouth, until he choked and spit out all the wine.

He kept coughing. When Lin Liqiu saw him, he laughed a few more times and ignored him. He picked up the wine and poured it for himself. Qin Muchu secretly looked at the diners around him and saw that no one was paying attention - how could they pay attention to this?

, their attention was all on Miss Lanxiang - so he learned to drink by himself again. This time he was cautious.

At this time, two young men came up. They looked around and stared at Lin Liqiu's back. Their eyes were burning, as if they hated Lin Liqiu very much.

Lin Liqiu had his back to them, but Qin Muchu happened to be facing them. Qin Muchu saw it and asked Lin Liqiu who was pouring wine: "Brother Lin, there are two people behind you, they seem to have a grudge against you."

"Hey, what are you two doing? Brother Lin, move quickly, they are coming."

The man in black shirt among the two drew his sword earlier and rushed towards Lin Liqiu, shouting: "Lin Liqiu, accept your fate!" The sword stabbed Lin Liqiu's Mingmen point on the back.

At this moment, Lin Liqiu suddenly slapped the table with both hands, and his whole body immediately rose a few feet, as lightly as a leaf swept into the air by the wind, escaping the fatal sword. Qin Muchu saw this, and felt in his heart

He couldn't help but applaud and thought, "I didn't expect that Lin Liqiu, with such a tall body, could be so good at Qinggong."

Just as he was thinking about it, another change occurred on the field. Lin Liqiu seemed to pause in the air for a moment. The time was so fast that only Qin Muchu noticed it. Then Lin Liqiu turned around with his knife and struck at the young man in black shirt.

The young man in black shirt was also very good at martial arts. He missed Lin Liqiu with his sword and immediately floated back. He heard a "crash" sound and knocked over a table behind him when he backed away. The owner of that table was about to curse.

, seeing the sword in his hand, he didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly ran towards the exit with his head in his hands. Upon seeing this, some of the diners at other tables were timid and left immediately, while some of the bold ones were all looking at the battlefield, paying attention to the "battle situation"

”.

Lin Liqiu slashed the knife, and the man fell down. He pointed the knife at the young man in black shirt and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

The young man in the Chu colored shirt who rushed up from behind walked beside the black shirt, raised his sword and pointed at Lin Liqiu, shouting: "Lin Liqiu, you have harmed my junior sister, if I don't kill you, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

Then he turned to the young man in black shirt and said, "Junior brother, enter!" Then they both raised their swords and charged towards Lin Liqiu.

Lin Liqiu didn't say anything after hearing this, and rushed over with his knife raised. When Qin Muchu saw it, he thought, "Did Brother Lin really kill those two junior sisters?" But when he saw the two of them jointly attacking Lin Liqiu, he felt unhappy.

, he also drew his sword, faced the sword of the young man in black shirt, and shouted: "What kind of hero can two people fight against one? Brother Lin, let me help you."

This was the first time Qin Muchu had fought with someone since he started practicing martial arts. He couldn't help but panic, so he had to take a defensive stance.

Lin Liqiu had one less opponent, so it was much easier to deal with him. He could watch Qin Muchu intermittently to see how he dealt with the enemy, just in case something unexpected happened. In his heart, he felt that someone like Qin Muchu, with sharp eyebrows and red lips, and a tender face (actually, Qin Muchu had not seen him for several years)

(caused by the sun), he must be a kid from a rich family, so he couldn't help but worry about Qin Muchu's martial arts. Unexpectedly, he was shocked when he saw it. Although Qin Muchu was on the defensive every time, and his movements were a bit clumsy, he was always in that black color.

The young man in the black shirt swung his sword to block it after the young man in the black shirt had drawn his sword, so he was the last to attack. He had to deal with the young man in the black shirt with all his heart just now, but Qin Muchu, apart from his awkward movements, seemed to have not used all his strength.

Qin Muchu exchanged swords with the man named Junior Brother several times, but he felt that the Junior Brother's movements were a bit slow. Every time the sword was passed to him, he could clearly see the path of the sword, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

, so he had to block it awkwardly with his sword. In fact, this was because Qin Muchu's martial arts was better than that of his junior brother. Although the nameless magical skills he practiced had "side effects", they did not deceive him in terms of martial arts.

He had lost his body and had his bones replaced, so he could see the flaws in his junior brother's moves, but because of his lack of experience, he was unable to take advantage of them. He is now like a man who has wealth but doesn't know how to use it.

people.

Seeing this, Lin Liqiu no longer worried about Qin Muchu, so he used all his strength to deal with Chu Seshan's senior brother. He used his unique skill "Serial Knife" and struck the ground in a series of fast attacks. He only heard a "bang" sound, and the senior brother's

The long sword was knocked off, and blood flowed from the tiger's mouth. Lin Liqiu stopped attacking. He put away the sword and clasped his hands in his arms, watching with interest Qin Muchu's fight with the junior brother. He always felt sorry for Qin Muchu in his heart. There were many opportunities.

Take advantage. How did he know that it was Qin Muchu who didn't know what to do?

The senior brother protected the injured tiger's mouth and stopped attacking. When he saw his junior brother fighting with Lin Liqiu's accomplices, he thought it was Qin Muchu who was giving in to his junior brother. Knowing that there was no easy way out today, he shouted: "Junior brother

"Stop, you can't fight that little thief." After hearing this, the junior brother swung his sword, jumped out of the circle, and returned to his senior brother's side.

Qin Muchu became more and more skillful in fighting each other, and he was secretly happy. He wanted to use the junior brother as a target for sword practice, so he didn't hear the senior brother's cry. When he saw the junior brother withdraw, he didn't chase after him. He was reminiscing about the fight just now.

Fighting.

The senior brother Lin Liqiu said fiercely: "Lin Liqiu, just wait, I will definitely avenge you." He glared at Qin Muchu, then walked downstairs with his junior brother, and threw a piece of silver to him before leaving.

The shopkeeper's.

Lin Liqiu didn't say a word and let them go. Lin Liqiu didn't say a word, and Qin Muchu even less said a word. The two of them sat down and continued to drink and eat. Lin Liqiu said to Qin Muchu: "Brother, your martial arts is pretty good.

, who is your master?" Qin Muchu naturally would not say that He Fengyang taught him, but said that he practiced it at home. Lin Liqiu saw it and stopped asking.

The sun sets in the west and the lanterns come on.

In front of Liuhua Pavilion, many talented people were already standing, bustling with people.

Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, the master of the pavilion, Huang Yuniang, appeared with several girls. Everyone immediately became quiet, thinking that the girl Lanxiang was here, but when they took a closer look, they found that it was Huang Yu who they had met regularly.

When the mother saw that everyone was quiet, she spoke: "Dear guests, Lan Xiang has come to Liuhua for the first time. There are too many people who want to see her, and she can't see so many people at once, so she asked me to ask you three questions.

Those who pass the test can see Miss Lanxiang tonight."

Someone shouted: "Boss Huang, come up with a question quickly, we can't wait any longer." Everyone agreed with him.

After hearing this, Huang Yuniang said: "Okay, here comes the first question - guessing the riddle. Whoever guesses the answer can show it to the girl behind me. The one who guesses correctly can go into the hall and wait. Xiao Hong, show the riddle."

When everyone heard that the first question was actually a riddle, some were happy and some were sad. Qin Muchu said to Lin Liqiu: "Brother Lin, if you guess this riddle, aren't you afraid that they will tell each other?"

Lin Liqiu looked worried and replied: "Who among us doesn't want to be the first to see Miss Lanxiang? They all wish they were the only ones who guessed it! How could they tell each other? Miss Lanxiang really understands our men's hearts.

where."

At this time, the girl named Xiaohong showed the riddle, and Huang Yuniang also said it again: "The riddle is 'Ask Guan Zhong', type one word, one stick of incense time."

The crowd began to commotion. Someone was shouting:

"Who is Guan Zhong? Since you want to ask him, let's find him. Who knows where Guan Zhong is?"

Just a "pop" sound was heard, and the voice just now shouted again: "Who? Who hit me?"

A voice rang out: "It's me. You don't even know who Guan Zhong is, and you still want to see Miss Lanxiang. Let me tell you, Guan Zhong was Xiaobai's father in the state of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He died long ago. Ouch!...Who throws this away?

Who threw rotten eggs at me?"

Another voice shouted: "No, no, Guan Zhong is Xiaobai's wife! Ouch!...Whose shoes are they?"

…

…

Qin Muchu laughed secretly after hearing this. He knew the answer to the riddle "Ask Guan Zhong" as soon as he heard it. The next sentence of "Ask Guan Zhong" was the answer of "人也". When he saw Lin Liqiu thinking hard, he grabbed the

Lin Liqiu's hand had the word "him" written on its palm. After Lin Liqiu found out, he and Qin Muchu walked towards the girl behind Huang Yuniang. After hearing their answers, the girl let them into the hall.

There were already more than a dozen people in the hall, sitting or standing, but they could not conceal their excitement.

After lighting a stick of incense, Huang Yuniang came in and saw eighty or ninety people, filling the hall. Someone had already urged her to ask the second question. She did not refuse and said to everyone: "Miss Lanxiang's second question."

The second question is a pair of couplets. She has already written the first couplet, Spring Flowers. Post the first couplet. If any of them are correct, a girl will come down and invite you upstairs." Miss Ganqing Lanxiang is listening upstairs.

.

I saw the girl named Chunhua hanging the first couplet on a pillar in the hall. It read the first couplet:

"Paint the Lotus Monk Painting".

When one of them saw it, he couldn't help but laughed proudly: "It's such a simple first line. It seems that Miss Lanxiang is not as smart as the rumors say. Get a pen, listen, my second line is 'Bed brocade quilt'

Jade Hand Shop'." After finishing writing, he looked proud.

Several other people also sent their second couplets one after another. However, it took a long time for their second couplets to be sent upstairs, but there was no reply. Obviously, the correspondence was not done neatly.

When Qin Muchu began to see the first couplet, he had the same thoughts as others. But after thinking about it carefully: "Since Lan Xiang is one of the four most famous prostitutes in the country, her knowledge will definitely not be so shallow." So he took the first couplet seriously.

Lian studied it for a while and then said: "It's really wonderful. Miss Lanxiang is indeed a woman of Lanzhi and Huixin."

Lin Liqiu, who was beside him, heard this and asked curiously: "What's the magic trick for the first couplet?"

Qin Muchu said to Lin Liqiu: "Brother Lin, read the first couplet from front to back."

Lin Liqiu read it as he was told: "On the painting are lotus monks, on top are monks and flowers. Hey! The front and back of the first couplet read the same."

Qin Muchu replied: "Yes, this kind of title is the same as the first couplet. It's the same when read front and back." But he was thinking in his heart: "It's really difficult to correct such a first couplet, maybe it's absolute."

After everyone listened, they suddenly realized that the ordinary first couplet was extraordinary, and they couldn't help but think about the second couplet in their hearts. Soon, some people gave up, and some turned around and left without saying a word. And the first one said:

The person in the lower line said angrily: "This is an absolute, impossible thing to understand. Humph, that girl Lanxiang is just entertaining us." After saying that, he went to find another girl.

A few people who were thinking hard seemed to have the following link:

"Dancing like a fairy."

"Landslide is slippery on the east slope in winter snow."

"The light in the Kong Ming Lantern is a bright hole."

Miss Lanxiang upstairs sighed in her heart: "Is this couplet really absolute? No one in Beijing can be right, and no one in Jiangnan can be right." You know, a couplet must be relative and connected.

, it is considered a good couplet only if it has a rivalry. And the lower couplets above obviously cannot compete with the upper couplet.

Qin Muchu was the only one left. He exhaled his last breath and said, "I have a second line. I am Qin Muchu, please give me some advice." Then he slowly said the second line:

"The articles in the book are written by Wen Zhongshu."

In fact, this is not the most perfect second line, but it matches the first line very well. Wen Zhong is Ouyang Xiu's posthumous title. Although it is not the most neat, it is really rare. What's more, what can be called perfect in the world?

What about? Don’t pursue the best, only pursue better. Miss Lanxiang was filled with emotion. She said to the girl next to her: "Xiaoye, go and bring up Mr. Qin and the others."

Xiao Ye came down and said, "Miss, please invite some young men to go upstairs."

Qin Muchu said to Xiaoye: "Girl, I, Brother Lin, also want to go up, I don't know..." Lin Liqiu did not answer the second line.

Xiaoye said: "Did he read the second couplet?" Qin Muchu replied: "No, but he just wanted to see Miss Lanxiang's face."

Xiao Ye was about to speak when he heard from upstairs, "Xiao Ye, please invite Mr. Qin's friends to come up too." Xiao Ye answered "Yes" and led the remaining five people upstairs. There is a zigzag path upstairs.

In the corridor, Xiaoye led them into a room not far from the stairs.

There was a girl sitting at a big round table. As soon as the five people came in, their eyes lit up, and everyone felt amazing.

The girl wore a Tang Dynasty bun, with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, a delicate nose, a cherry mouth, a thin application of powder, and was dressed in lake green clothes. She stood up slowly, with a slender figure and those eyebrows.

A touch of melancholy, just like the orchids in the valley. She bowed to everyone and said: "I am an orchid, and I have met all the gentlemen in the south of the Yangtze River." Her voice was thin and soft, just like the slightly moist and unique fragrance of orchids.

Fresh fragrance.

Everyone was stunned, and even forgot to return the courtesy. It was Xiaoye who called them, and they woke up and saluted Miss Lanhua. Lanhua said: "Everyone, please sit down. I wonder which one is Mr. Qin?"
