No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 621: Yunmengze makes an exception, Yue Chuzi breaks the rules [Beg for monthly tickets at the end of the month! ]

After the rain, the sky clears up.

The mountains are full of pear trees, looking gorgeous and charming.

Some exquisite ancient buildings with flying eaves roofs are built along the mountain, scattered all over the peaks, and it is unknown how much land they occupy.

The exquisite gardens, rockery and pools built along the mountain highlight the elegant taste of the owner of this place.

This place has an interesting name, Xuemu Villa.

This villa is hidden deep in the mountains and old forests. Those who come and go on weekdays are all people who have a close relationship with the owner of the villa. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter, and those who enter by mistake will be politely asked to leave.

The owner of the villa was said to be a lady who became a widow at a young age. For a period of time, she was a hot topic in the Tiannan world.

However, this widowed lady, along with Snowwood Villa, is very low-key.

However, Xuemu Villa's secular industries are spread all over Jiangnan Road. Even though the owner is low-key, the villa is still quite famous.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Those who are knowledgeable about the underworld of Tiannan know that with such a big fat sheep, there will definitely be people in the underworld and white world who want to take advantage of it.

But they have been living steadily and quietly for so many years... and have not been swallowed up by the big shots, so they should not be underestimated.

This widowed lady either has someone above her, or she has someone above her.

You have to choose one of the two.

The villa was quiet in the morning.

The sun shines on the branches of the pear trees that are covered with water droplets, and the air is filled with the smell of spring soil.

There is a freshness in the empty mountains after the rain.

Inside the villa, on the top of the mountain, there is no luxurious mansion built, but only an elegant pavilion that is just the right size.

The pavilion is named "Spring Courtyard" in its plaque. Its style is indeed elegant, with the legacy of the Spring and Autumn Period. It is hung with blue and black satin curtains, which have the style of ancient Wu and Yue, highlighting the taste of the owner.

A tall Hu girl with waist-length blonde hair was sitting cross-legged on a snow-white cushion in the pavilion.

A scabbard lay across his knees.

The snow-white sword has been unsheathed.

In front of her was a large bucket of clear water filled with pear petals.

The courtyard was silent, with the faint sound of swords.

Xue Zhongzhu dipped a folded white cloth in water and wiped the snow-white sword, and the white petals stuck to the sword.

She pressed the sword through the white cloth with her sword finger, and the long sword hummed every time it passed.

This water is the morning dew and rain water, taken from the early spring pear trees all over the mountains.

It is a great drink for those who practice Qigong.

Now, it is being used by the eldest lady of Yunmeng to feed the sword and wash her body.

Xue Zhongzhu's face was calm, his green eyes were slightly drooped, and he was very focused.

Outside the pavilion, there was the largest pear tree in the entire villa, which seemed to be quietly accompanying her.

One man, one sword, one pavilion, one tree.

The sharp mountain wind avoided this mountain peak, and it was quiet and empty.

boom--!
At this moment, a slight sound was heard outside the pavilion, like the sound of something falling on a branch.

At the same time, along with the movement, a small piece of pear petal, which had been nourished by the spring rain and turned from snow-white to light pink, slowly fell from the branch.

Like rain.

On the branch, there is a huge strange bird with three legs and four eyes, standing quietly on the branch.

It just fell from the sky.

It grasped the branch with two claws, and the extra claw held a silk book tied with a red rope.

Xue Zhongzhu kept moving and lowered his head to wash the sword.

The three-legged strange bird suddenly turned its head and looked towards a pool of water on the hillside not far from the peak.

From the Chunting Pavilion on the top of the mountain, one can directly overlook the scene beside the pond.

There is a rockery in the center of the pool, and a rare white sturgeon is being kept in the pool.

The white sturgeon keeps circling around the oval-shaped pool of water, seemingly tireless.

On the bank of the pond, there was also a little girl in a pink and white skirt with a topknot tied in a pigtail, running with her short legs, chasing the white sturgeon and circling around the pond.

The little girl held a rather long and straight pear branch in her hand and poked it into the water.

As she circled around the lake, the pear blossom branches cut through the water, making a non-stop rustling sound... It was as if she was really drawing circles on the water.

A white sturgeon was with her.

The two guys had a great time.

I just don’t know who is learning from whom.

The three-legged strange bird on the branch of the pear tree on the mountain peak reflected this scene in its eyes and tilted its head slightly.

The four eyes seemed to subconsciously follow the little girl with a pigtail pigtail who was circling by the pool, moving up and down and left and right.

At some point, as if she had spun it dizzy, the three-legged bird blinked rapidly, flapped its wings, and shook its head violently.

The tall Hu Ji who was washing her sword in the pavilion suddenly stood up, and without even having time to sheath her snow-white sword, she strode out of the pavilion.

Looking at her icy face, she has reached the limit of her patience.

"Sister."

A gentle lady in white suddenly came to the top of the mountain, holding a scroll in her hand, and walked to the front of the pavilion.

His body calmly stood between the candle in the snow and the pool below where people and fish were circling.

"Hey, is there any news from Fifth Junior Sister? Bug Lady is here."

Yu Nianyuan smiled softly and pointed to the branches of a pear tree not far from the pavilion.

The candle in the snow is ignored.

"What is this girl doing?" Xue Zhongzhu suddenly spoke with an impatient tone.

"Uh, it seems to be guarding that front tooth."

"Guardian? Front...fang?"

Xue Zhongzhu spoke every word, trying hard to suppress his anger.

She probably never thought that she, the domineering and overbearing Queen of Yunmeng who intimidated all the men in the world of southern Tian, ​​would be able to utter these few words in her life.

What a sin.

Yu Nianyuan, dressed in white, held the scroll to his lips, and said helplessly, "Xiaoshu was naughty yesterday afternoon, and was thrown out by you, Senior Sister. She accidentally knocked out one of her lower front teeth. She held the tooth in her hand all night, and ran out of the house early in the morning without eating. She said she wanted to... throw her lower front tooth up high, the higher the better, so that it can grow faster later..."

Yu Nianyuan hid the words that the little girl said when she was comforting her, "Don't worry, Master. I don't blame you anymore and won't bear grudges anymore." He continued to sigh:
"The highest peak here is the one where Senior Sister washes her sword. Xiao Shu originally wanted to throw the front tooth here, but it seems that she was afraid of disturbing you, Senior Sister, so she didn't dare to come. So she threw it in the pool where the white sturgeon is raised halfway up the mountain."

Xue Zhongzhu took a deep breath, not knowing what to say, and asked with gritted teeth:
"After you've thrown it away, why don't you get out of here?"

Yu Nianyuan suppressed the corners of his lips, trying to remain serious, and explained softly:
"Xiao Shu regretted losing her tooth. I don't know who told her that. Maybe her father said that fish have a bad memory and forget things after a while... She was afraid that the white sturgeon named Dabai would also forget their friendship and swallow the tooth she lost at the bottom of the pond. Then it wouldn't work... So she thought of this idea. She took the white sturgeon around in circles to stun the fish..."

Under Xue Zhongzhu's expressionless gaze, Yu Nianyuan's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

It's inevitable that I feel a little guilty about accepting such a naive little girl as my disciple.

"Well, forget it. Don't worry about this girl. Just let her go. She will stop when she gets dizzy."

Xue Zhongzhu turned around with difficulty and returned to the pavilion with Yu Nianyuan.

Xue Zhongzhu waved her hand casually, and a three-legged monster bird named "Chong Niang" flew over and handed the red silk book to her.

As Yu Nianyuan watched, Xue Zhongzhu lowered his eyes to look at the secret letter for a while, then calmly put it into his sleeve.

"Let's talk about things." She said coldly without mentioning the letter.

Yu Nianyuan nodded, took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and handed it over.

"This is?"

"The original text of Peach Blossom Spring was given to me by Mr. Wei."

The candle in the snow sneered:
"Isn't it hidden?"

"Perhaps he saw my sincerity in issuing the Yunmeng Order this time, so he loosened his lips and tacitly agreed that we should look for the Peach Blossom Spring. However, he was still hesitant about showing the painting to us."

Xue Zhongzhu raised the corner of his mouth, took the rice paper, lowered his eyes and seemed to be concentrating on reading "Peach Blossom Spring", but quickly put it away, and it was unknown whether he understood the ancient words on it, and he replied:
"Well, that's interesting. Send it back to Yunmeng, to Xiaowu." She handed it back to Yu Nianyuan with a normal expression.

“Okay.” Yu Nianyuan took out paper and pen, wrote a few elegant strokes on the rice paper, folded it again, walked out of the pavilion, waving his white sleeves.

The insect lady landed on her arm, and she tied the red rope around her feet again, and then she soared into the sky.

"Let's look for it. We are more familiar with Yunmeng Lake. The writings left by Tao Yuanming may point out the location. Let Xiaowu and the others try."

"Ah."

"What else?"

Yu Nianyuan said softly:

"Regarding the matter of the Kuangfu Army, Lord Li in the southwest has recently received a letter asking the eldest lady for a favor."

"speak."

"Lord Li hopes that I can help the Restoration Army. The Restoration Army will definitely reward me handsomely. In his letter, he also promised Mr. Wei that he could show us the Peach Blossom Spring painting if necessary."

The candle in the snow said lightly:

"We are helping them by obstructing the Buddha. We are disrupting the rear of Jiangzhou and helping them to divert some of the court's energy. But they still don't know how to be grateful? How else can we help?"

Yu Nianyuan sighed softly and said:
"That Lord Li said that he hopes that our Jianze can help further, just like... just like when the Female Monarch helped the royal family of the Southern Kingdom during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He wants this level of help."

The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became quiet and the air slowly became colder.

Yu Nianyuan saw a snow-white sword floating in the pavilion.

Outside the pavilion, there is a big pear tree, and the pear blossoms have all fallen.

"Heh." The blonde Hu Ji chuckled and walked away, sheathing her snow-white sword. Her back looked tall.

"Li Zhengyan knows a lot, and even knows about the old events of the Southern Dynasty. Who told him? His grandfather, the Duke of Guo? Or the person who gave them the Peach Blossom Spring?"

"I don't know. I was also surprised that they suddenly brought this up this morning. First, how dare they bring it up? Second, how did they know about it? There shouldn't be many people in this world who know about this. There were many things in the struggle between the Northern and Southern Dynasties that cannot be recorded in official history, especially after Sui and Qian established the country. Even if there were unofficial historical records, they would have been destroyed by someone with ulterior motives. The history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties compiled by the Zhou people would not mention it anymore..."

The candle in the snow sneered:
"How dare they bring up the old days of the Southern Dynasty? Our Lady Lord Hall was so crazy back then that we felt sorry for the people fleeing to the south. We ended up supporting a pile of mud that was difficult to climb, and leaked a lot of our sect's special Qi training techniques. We don't know whether the impact on the secular world down the mountain was good or bad.

"Looking at the entire Southern Dynasty, almost all of them are useless, except for a common man named Huan, a scholar named Xie, and a warrior named Liu. Except for a man with some ability, the others are not worth using. Jiankang City, the place of elegance in the Six Dynasties, was all a private affair. It was first demolished by Da Sui, and then renamed by Da Qian. Now it's called Jinling, which is ridiculous and lamentable... In the end, it backfired on Yunmeng...

"Now that Jiangnan Dao and Lingnan Dao are not valued, isn't it because they are useless? Why does Yunmeng care about them? But Tiannan Jianghu is not as cowardly as them."

"That's what I said, but..."

Xue Zhongzhu interrupted: "Second Junior Sister, go and reply. If you want the exceptional help from the Female Monarch Palace, ask them if they are worthy. If you don't want to improve, just ask Li Zhengyan, can he compare with those with the surnames Huan, Xie, and Liu?
"Also, tell them that I want to see the painting of Peach Blossom Spring. This is the prerequisite for everything. Once they agree, we can start discussing other things!"

Having said this, she paused for a moment, then waved her sleeves and said, "It's just the beginning of the conversation."

"Okay." Yu Nianyuan nodded, smiled and whispered: "Even if they agree to talk, they should understand that this is a great honor."

The candle in the snow remained silent, standing proudly with his head held high and his lips tightly pursed.

By the time of Yunmeng Jianze's generation, their strength had actually been greatly reduced. There were almost no predecessors from the previous generation in the palace. This was also a backlash of cause and effect left behind by the Southern Dynasty.

So their generation was very special. All the female rulers, including Yue Chuzi, did not grow up, and the position of Yuanjun was also vacant. Fortunately, Yue Chuzi returned to the throne early, which was similar to a secular dynasty. The prince was the foundation of the country and could stabilize the hearts of the people.

In the past, would the Great Zhou Dynasty dare to build a giant Buddha in Jiangzhou? Oh, maybe they didn't know how powerful the gods of Shenzhou were?
Yu Nianyuan suddenly said, "Wei Shaoqi seems to be ill."

"Oh." Xue Zhongzhu's reaction was calm.

Yu Nianyuan asked softly, "Should we bring the guy named Sun from the prison here so that he can be examined?"

"You still mention that old guy surnamed Sun? I didn't kill him, which is already the greatest tolerance I have shown. He also made Yue a virgin and made her blind. He also encouraged her to break her vows... and you let him hang out? Do you think he's on a regular basis?

"Besides, this Wei Shaoqi is not worthy. Before they hand over the map, they can't even think of getting anything from Yunmeng."

"That's fine." Yu Nianyuan looked normal: "I just admire this person a little bit."

Xuezhongzhu suddenly asked:

"Why didn't you let me write a letter to Xiao Qi and ask her to come back? How could she not listen to me? Why did Second Junior Sister beat around the bush after receiving the letter from that bald donkey from Xunyang?"

"Big Sister, we made an exception this time to open the Dream Abyss and issued so many Yunmeng Orders. When Seventh Junior Sister sees the Yunmeng Orders, she will know our current situation. Knowing that the Dream Abyss is open, what should she do... For so many years, you have been at the forefront in her place. It was you who went to the Dream Abyss and asked for swords in Taogu... Seventh Junior Sister knows your hard work best. Don't rush her. Big Sister is just too impatient, just like the last time in Dragon City."

Yu Nianyuan said softly:

"Among so many junior sisters, the seventh junior sister is actually the most sensible one. It's just that she was too sensible in the past, so her occasional insensibility is so conspicuous. The letter that the master asked the Fang sisters to deliver roughly said the same thing. She said that the affairs of the world need to be understood by Master Yue Chuzi himself, and cannot be forced..."

Xue Zhongzhu had a cold face and was silent for a while: "Are you sure she is safe in the city?"

"Well, the letter said that after the collapse of the Big Buddha, Seventh Junior Sister initially hid in the Beitian Charity Home in Chengtian Temple, and then moved out..." Yu Nianyuan hesitated to speak.

Xue Zhongzhu took a deep breath:

"You also know about Junior Sister's eyes. Although... you don't have to worry about them for now, the consequences of losing your virginity... have already damaged your cultivation... I finally took half a tortoise-shelled longhorn beetle to offset some of the damage. If she gets hurt again in Xunyang City this time... Second Junior Sister, you can handle it yourself. Think about how we will explain to Master and Senior Yunmeng when we go down there."

"I understand." Yu Nianyuan's eyes dimmed slightly, and after a while, he smiled gently:
"But I have experienced that master's Zen method is quite powerful. If even the most persuasive Buddhist Zen can't enlighten people, let alone the nagging of us senior sisters."

The candle in the snow remained silent.

When the matter of the junior sister was mentioned, the atmosphere in the pavilion became quiet for a moment, leaving only the sound of a little girl playing in the water with a branch not far away...
