[Comprehensive martial arts] Ancient and modern grocery store

Xia Jianqing quickly put on her clothes, and before combing her hair, she wanted to go out, but was pulled back by Chu Liuxiang.

"Don't worry, comb your hair first."

Only then did Xia Jianqing remember? In ancient times, disheveled hair was a very impolite behavior.

"What time is it now?"

"When I first arrived at Chou." Chu Liuxiang moved his hands quickly, and the hairband was tied firmly and neatly.

Xia Jianqing suddenly remembered what happened? He looked up—the door was closed again, and he whispered, "By the way, did you hear the wind tonight?"

Chu Liuxiang leaned over slightly, put her face in front of the mirror, looked at Boss Xia in the mirror, and said in a low voice, "Yes, this house is completely empty."

Xia Jianqing raised her eyes in surprise, and unconsciously stepped on her foot: "Empty?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded, and pulled Xia Jianqing up and walked out: "Ah Qing - I will let you follow me."

Xia Jianqing just wanted to nod, but then thought of what Lu Xiaofeng said to him, and felt wrong.

He and Chu Liuxiang's person? The setting seems to be reversed, should it be? Chu Liuxiang was so frightened that he hid in his arms?

Boss Xia cheered silently in his heart, took a big step, and walked to Chu Liuxiang's side.

—? At a glance, I saw the people surrounded by the forest not far away.

This forest is a bamboo forest. It is not far from their courtyard. It is also overgrown with weeds. No one has walked in here for many years.

There are no stone lanterns here, only two faint lanterns in the hands of the guards. The trees in the house are extremely tall and can completely cover the sky. Every night, the moonlight cannot shine in at any time, so? So? This-? In the darkness? Only these two lanterns were shining.

On the other hand, Xia Jianqing backed away slightly—the one who stepped forward, the two lanterns were still glued with red paper.

The dim red light illuminated everyone's faces from bottom to top. Boss Xia was almost suppressing his heart that was about to jump out of his body, and followed Chu Liuxiang step by step.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had already carried a lantern ready, they were going to enter the bamboo forest to find out.

Chu Liuxiang approached and listened carefully: "Is it? What is this strange sound?"

Lu Xiaofeng turned to look at the guards: "They said it was the sound of practicing swords inside."

The leader of the guard nodded hurriedly with fear on his face: "Really, we have heard it more than - - times, and - - once we went in and looked, but found nothing."

Hua Man Lou——has been listening carefully, but the environment is too noisy, and he can't hear it clearly: "Everyone calm down——? Let's listen carefully."

As soon as the voice fell, the guards quickly took a breath, and the atmosphere became quiet in an instant.

There was no wind tonight, so after it quieted down, I really couldn't hear a single sound, except for the occasional neighing of Xia Chan.

Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng both breathed lightly and listened carefully to Zhulin.

Xia Jianqing also wanted to listen, but he was so nervous that he could hardly calm down. The quieter the atmosphere, the more nervous he became. He wanted to hear the sound, but was afraid of hearing it.

His whole being? It was almost split into two halves. The inherent curiosity and the inherent fear of human beings pulled him, pulled him into the whole body? His heart was beating continuously, and his fingers were trembling with excitement.

It wasn't until Chu Liuxiang turned around suddenly that he was pulled out of this emotion.

Chu Liuxiang——hugged him into her arms, stretched out her hand and patted him on the back, without saying anything, but made him quiet for an instant.

Xia Jianqing was still a little curious about what Chu Liuxiang's actions meant? Later, Lu Xiaofeng's -? words made him instantly embarrassed.

"Boss Xia's heartbeat? Why is it so fast?"

Xia Jianqing: ...

He died on the spot.

So, is it too late for him to say that he actually has a heart disease?Can you still return to the image of an expert in other worlds?

Xia Jianqing buried her head in Chu Liuxiang's neck, unwilling to raise her head to face this boring world.

Hua Manlou handed the lantern in his hand to Chu Liuxiang, and turned to look at the guards: "Let's go in and have a look, you guys continue to watch the night."

The leader of the guards, Dasong, took a deep breath, cupped his hands hastily, and led the people behind him away immediately.

Lu Xiaofeng held the lantern and drove away, followed by Hua Manlou, and Chu Liuxiang followed Xia Jianqing closely.

How many people are walking in the silent bamboo forest, the ground is full of fallen bamboo leaves, some are freshly fallen, and some are withered and crisp, when they run over them, there is a scalp-numbing "creak, creak, creak" "the sound of.

Hua Manlou suddenly said, "The sound of the wind in the room comes from the ground, and this bamboo forest can indeed hear the sound of swords breaking through the air."

Both Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang nodded silently, the four of them kept walking, Lu Xiaofeng steadily led the way ahead, and gradually led them closer to the open space where the sound came from.

It's very strange, they walked along the road, the density of bamboo was very high, and they almost had to turn sideways to get out of it. They walked along this road, but in the area in front of them, not a single bamboo grew, and there was nothing left. —A round field?

And the weird voice from the mouth of the guards surrounds this open space.

The four of them stood in the center of this open space and looked around. The diameter was less than ten meters, and there was a huge stone on the edge, and there were sword marks accumulated over the years on the stone.

Chu Liuxiang approached the stone with a lantern and touched the sword marks: "So? This is actually a place for practicing swords?"

Hua Manlou stood in the center and closed his eyes to listen carefully. He wanted to hear the direction of the source of the sound.

Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his beard and guessed: "So? These? Traces are actually left by? That family that suffered an accident that year? I remember that family was? A well-known family of swordsmanship in Jianghu back then."

"Judging from the rumors in the rivers and lakes and the bloodstain seen today, that family? It is very likely that they were killed by their enemies. So... all the strange things now are actually people from that family? Come back for revenge?"

"Revenge? Why do you have to play tricks? Could it be that the disaster back then had something to do with old man Zhang? Their purpose? What? Are they trying to scare old man Zhang?"

And Xia Jianqing has been very silent since he first stepped into the forest.

It should be said that he has been very silent since he heard the sound, because he—has been confirming his guess in his heart.

Xia Jianqing hesitantly let go of Chu Liuxiang's sleeve, and walked towards a darker place.

After pushing away some miscellaneous grass leaves, Xia Jianqing carefully opened his eyes wide, and finally found this thing that shouldn't appear here from behind a bamboo, which flashed blue light from time to time.

Reaching out to pick it up in his hand, the voice that puzzled everyone for a long time came from here.

"found it."

Xia Jianqing's words suddenly attracted the attention of several people, and Chu Liuxiang moved closer with a red lantern.

"What is this? Is the sound coming from here?"

The dim red light of the lantern shone on Xia Jianqing's side face, making his skin pale and rosy.

Xia Jianqing frowned slightly. He suddenly felt that he had committed a heinous crime. He would never dare to sell too strange things in this world again. This time he scared himself.

He was a little bit hard to say, but he still said it: "It can record the sound and play it in a loop. It was sold from... from my store." Lu Xiaofeng answered curiously. He came over and was amazed: "Boss Xia, where did you get so many strange things?"

Hua Manlou suddenly realized: "It's similar to what you told me last time?"

Xia Jianqing nodded with difficulty.

Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose and changed the topic: "Do you remember? Who bought it?"

Boss Xia also thought about it carefully, but he can't remember all the guests, so he shook his head: "Forgot, only appearance and behavior? There are still some who are different? Memories, I still remember people like Lu Xiaofeng. I can remember, but I can’t remember the others.”

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard, he always felt that Boss Xia was praising him.

Xia Jianqing stretched out his hand - ? o'clock, and the recording pen in front of him stopped playing.But you can still hear the sound.

Several people turned their heads and looked, "It seems that there are more than - two."

Xia Jianqing pointed to the place where the blue light was shining just now: "It will emit blue light."

Chu Liuxiang was very clever, so she left the lantern on the ground and went to the dark place.

Just now both he and Lu Xiaofeng were limited by the lantern lights in front of them, they could only pay attention to this small illuminated area in front of them, and subconsciously ignored other dark places.

Soon, the remaining two recording pens were found by Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng from the remaining two different positions.

It's no wonder that Huamanlou couldn't tell the exact location. Three different directions surrounded this small open space, almost making people faint in it.

"Old man Zhang is not here tonight, what do you think is wrong?" Lu Xiaofeng turned to ask Chu Liuxiang.

"Of course not, tonight—everything went too smoothly, didn't it?" The windless weather just happened, the indoor wind noise just happened, the bamboo forest just happened to appear strange, and Boss Xia just happened to discover one of them. ?the truth.

Chu Liuxiang was willing to think a few more times when encountering anything.Just like tonight, old man Zhang is not in the mansion, and all the scheduling in the mansion is in their hands, and they can look around for the truth without hindrance.

Like now, they are going to find out why there is a hollow space under the ground.

"It seems that he really trusts us." Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile.

Chu Liuxiang nodded: "Maybe."

If they want to find out the reason for the sound of the wind under the underground, they have to find the entrance under the underground.

But they can't just dig a hole out of it without thinking, so? They can only use the stupid method, --? Listen a little bit.

They could roughly hear the strength of the wind, so they followed the direction and gradually walked towards the place where the wind was strongest.

Fortunately, the weather is fine tonight, and there is no wind outside.They really let them gradually find the underground entrance.

If they hadn't followed the sound, they would never have found such a remote place.

This should be a corner of this house, except for the weeds around, there is only a well in front of it that is tightly pressed by stones.

Lu Xiaofeng circled around the well, hesitantly said: "So? This is? The entrance? Do you want to move this stone away?"

After Xia Jianqing was silent, he suggested, "Otherwise, come back tomorrow during the day, in case there is... danger down there." Xia Jianqing swallowed the last name back?

With a strong sense of sight, Boss Xia has already started to get scared. 【Note】

But Lu Xiaofeng's hand was even faster, before Xia Jianqing finished speaking, the heavy stone fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

Xia Jianqing: ...

Bringing the lantern to the mouth of the well, Lu Xiaofeng poked his head to look carefully, scratched his head and said, "The light is not enough, I can't see what's going on at the bottom of the well."

Chu Liuxiang also thought it was a very unwise decision to go down now: "Wait for old man Zhang to come back tomorrow, and drag him down by a block."

Lu Xiaofeng felt a little regretful, his curiosity had been aroused now, and he just wanted to go down inside immediately to see what was there.

But he also knew that it would be dangerous to act rashly without knowing the facts.So he moved the stone back to its original position.

"I hope old man Zhang will come back sooner tomorrow."

In fact, the old man Zhang did come back early the next day.

But what the others didn't expect was that he didn't come back alone. He also brought a lot of guests. He came back together.

At that time, the four of them were eating breakfast in the dining hall. Old man Zhang was still walking like before, with a servant always around him to help him.

He walked in with a red face, and took the hand of Chu Liuxiang who was eating, and said excitedly: "I-? , I actually found out the culprit who has troubled the old man for so long! Really? Really? Thank you so much!"

Chu Liuxiang was a little dazed? Looking at the old man Zhang who was holding his hand, he couldn't pull it out.

Xia Jianqing was squeezed-? Dazed, she turned her head and saw the two holding hands, feeling extremely dazzling, and immediately moved to that side, abruptly? Squeezing away? Old Zhang's thin body.Pulling Chu Liuxiang's hand into his own.

Old man Zhang didn't care too much, instead he held Lu Xiaofeng's hand next to him and said to the outside: "Everyone, these two are Hero Lu Xiaofeng and Hero Chu Liuxiang."

Old man Zhang followed outside—the few people who got up and came back had their eyes bright, and ran a few steps to get in front of the two of them.

"It's...really? Are these the famous heroes Lu and Chu?"

Chu Liuxiang frowned and looked at old man Zhang. Old man Zhang hurriedly pulled a few people up and explained: "These people came to me to make swords, but they never accidentally served them? I learned that there are two people in my house If you are a guest, you have to follow—? Get up? Come here. It’s no wonder how many people are waiting.”

Lu Xiaofeng frowned and pulled back his hand: "That servant should be more careful in the future."

Old man Zhang nodded: "I have already told him."

Xia Jianqing was squeezed out of Chu Liuxiang's side once again, looking at the people around her, she was a little annoyed: "So they--the meeting--will get together and go on?"

The old man Zhang is very magnanimous: "Meeting is a fate, everyone - get together and go on - it's also a joy to find out."

Xia Jianqing said expressionlessly, "Oh."

What else do you not understand now?

All of this is the old man Zhang, who is directing and performing by himself, and seems to ask them for help, but in fact he already knows the truth of all this, maybe it was designed by himself Haunted house -? said.The purpose is just to take advantage of the prestige of Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng in the arena, to confirm this so-called truth.

Taking advantage of the trend to let these? It seems that a few people who happened to meet spread this matter.

And this is just his obvious purpose, what about the deeper level behind it?Nobody yet? Know.

What Xia Jianqing could think of, Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng naturally thought of it too.The appearance of these "people" this morning is only to confirm their guess last night.

However, now that things have come to this point, the last -? step, they have to go down to have a look anyway.

Looking at what is the secret under the ground?

The four of them led the crowd to the place they found last night.

The light was dim at night, and I walked again during the day—only to find out that this place is really remote, and it is indeed a corner of this house, and the outer wall of the yard can be seen not far away.

Xia Jianqing held Chu Liuxiang tightly, and secretly competed with a young man in his 20s.

This young man...seemed to be fascinated by Chu Liuxiang's mysterious rumors in Jianghu.From the beginning to the end - sticking to Chu Liuxiang's side, Xia Jianqing had pushed the others to Lu Xiaofeng's place, only he couldn't leave.But he talks too much.

"Hero Chu, when will I be able to practice martial arts as superb as yours?"

Chu Liuxiang replied with a good temper: "Study hard, practice hard, sooner or later there will be a day, you can do it."

It's okay to talk too much, but he just climbed along the pole.

"Did Hero Chu say that I have great potential? Can Hero Chu accept me as an apprentice?"

Chu Liuxiang was embarrassed——smiled, and only said that he did not accept apprentices.

This young man looks pretty good-looking, but he's just a little unpopular.

Of course, this may also be Xia Jianqing's personal opinion. After all, Boss Xia himself knows that his thoughts are not right.

But he just felt sorry for Chu Liuxiang who was surrounded by people like monkeys, questioned and pushed around by people.

What did old man Zhang do? The one who was most angry was not? Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, but? Xia Jianqing.He was uncomfortable because Chu Liuxiang was being used by someone, and he was uncomfortable because the person who used him could still be called his friend.

Xia Jianqing went around from Chu Liuxiang's left to the right, and squeezed into the young man.And broke out his most sincere acting skills: "Why are you squeezing me?"

The young man on the opposite side was stunned by the righteous words, scratched his head, and said hesitantly, "Excuse me?"

Boss Xia is serious? Nodding: "Forgive you, your friend is calling you, why don't you go and have a look?"

The young man looked over suspiciously, only seeing his friend's back, but still? He ran two quick steps and chased after him.

Chu Liuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully touched Xia Jianqing's left shoulder: "Did you squeeze the wound? Does the wound still hurt now?"

Boss Xia felt that after listening to Lu Xiaofeng's two classes, he opened up some new ideas.

"It still hurts from time to time, I can't see it myself, can you apply the medicine for me tonight?"

Chu Liuxiang was a little anxious, a little bewildered, a little excited and at a loss: "I, me? Yes, yes? Ah..."

Why did he feel that the recent Boss Xia was a little flirtatious?

Chu Liuxiang touched her nose, thinking about it.

Here Lu Xiaofeng has moved away the heavy stones again. Under the sunlight, everyone can clearly see that this is a dry well that is not deep. The moment the stones are moved away, The wind came whistling from the well—the whistling sound blew up.

Old man Zhang ordered his servants to release the rope, and Lu Xiaofeng took the lead, without even looking at the rope—he just jumped in.

Hua Manlou followed closely behind, and old man Zhang climbed onto the back of a strong servant, who slid down carefully pulling the rope.

One after another, Chu Liuxiang and Xia Jianqing were the only ones left.

Xia Jianqing felt that now was the time to show his reliability. He walked to the rope hanging from the mouth of the well, and confidently said what he had been holding back for two days: "I'll go down first, Chu Liuxiang, hide behind me."

Chu Liuxiang stepped forward - took two steps, and lifted Xia Jianqing off the ground with one hand, - with one jump, the two of them were already at the bottom of the well.

"What did you say?"

Boss Xia was expressionless: "It's all right."

The author has something to say: Thanks to the three cute "Dr.", "Watchtower" and "Crafty Mage" for their nutrient solution!Love you guys!Crazy launch love biubiubiu~

After being together, Xia Xia always felt that something was wrong. After one night, she finally realized that she was not Gong? !

ps: In the final analysis, the little phoenix cake was drawn wrong.

[Note] For those who don't understand, there may be Sadako besides frogs in the well. (Childhood Shadow Series
