The wind blows the plum blossoms over Guanshan

When Murong Zhaohui woke up, the first ray of sunlight happened to be shining on the window sill. After washing, he didn't forget to put on his bamboo hat when he left the room.When he got to the next door, he wanted to ask Chang Sheng to go down to have dinner with him, but the door of Chang Sheng's room was ajar. When he opened the door, there was no one there.After asking Xiaoshuang and Yanzi, they only said that Changsheng went to the backyard in the morning, and he thought maybe he was going to see the peach blossoms.He saw that Changsheng was quite interested in the peach blossoms in the backyard yesterday, and even secretly folded them twice.The few peach trees in the backyard are quite old, the trunks are quite tall, and there are many flowering branches. When they bloom, they are as bright as clouds, and they are really beautiful.

Walking to the backyard of the inn, Murong Zhaohui saw two people, one black and one white, sitting on the roof tiles of the inn from a distance, talking about something.Chang Sheng was dressed in black clothes embroidered with white plums, with a smile on his face, talking to the person beside him.The man in white next to him, Murong Zhaohui, had met a few times, he was a young man who lived in the room opposite Changsheng.Under the sunlight, the strong contrast between black and white made Murong Zhaohui feel a little dazzling.

"Chi Lu, how long does it take to learn acupuncture points?" Chang Sheng asked, propping his head with his hands and turning his head.

"I can't be sure about this... Some people are talented, and they can learn three or four points in a short time. If the talent is average, it will take at least a year and a half. If you only learn a few big points, it shouldn't take long. I can learn it. It is not difficult to find the location of the acupuncture points, but it is difficult to grasp the strength of the acupuncture points. If the strength is not well grasped, it is likely to miss the point, or it will damage the person."

"Then teach me now, you and I don't have many days in Dongting, and I don't know when we can meet after the martial arts conference." Chi Lu narrowed his eyes towards the sun, smiled lightly, and said: "It's fine, but you'll have to suffer a bit to learn it." Chang Sheng understood Chi Lu's meaning, and quickly said, "It's okay, just order me to try."

"Then I'll teach you how to spot a few pock marks on your body."

Chi Lu pulled up Changsheng's sleeves, exposing half of her arms.Changsheng's complexion is very fair, so white that it is somewhat transparent, and even the light blue blood vessels under the skin can be seen.This is according to his mother, his father Meng Sikong's complexion is not white.Changsheng wanted to tan himself several times, but every year he would get a little darker in summer, and it would turn white again in autumn.After doing this several times, Changsheng didn't bother to care about it.

"Look, the numb point on the arm is at this position." Chi Lu pointed out to him a spot on Changsheng's arm, and pointed there, Changsheng immediately felt the pain in his entire arm, and moaned. "Changsheng, look carefully, here is where the acupoints are released." Gently peeled off the clothes covering Changsheng's shoulders, and tapped one place again, Changsheng immediately felt that his arms were no longer numb, itchy and painful.

Murong Zhaohui was far away and couldn't hear what the two were talking about.At the beginning, I just felt that the two had a very happy chat, and there was nothing wrong with it.After yesterday's incident, he also knew that the young man in white next door was a martial artist, and his martial arts were quite good. Presumably, Changsheng saw other people's martial arts were good, so he wanted to learn martial arts or discuss Jianghu affairs.Murong Zhaohui didn't like Changsheng's unguarded behavior towards strangers, but he didn't want to hinder his making friends. After all, it was rare for Changsheng to have playmates of the right age in Chu Palace.

Murong Zhaohui was about to leave, but he saw that the white-clothed swordsman lifted up Chang Sheng's sleeves and ripped off his clothes, but Chang Sheng couldn't move at all, he was no match for that man at all.

"What are you doing, let him go!" Seeing this scene, Murong Zhaohui hurriedly ran over there, completely ignoring his own safety.When he got closer, he took off the hat and veil that were in the way on his head, feeling a little stuffy.The two people on the roof heard it and were startled.Chi Lu turned her head, and saw a beautiful young man in light green clothes, holding a bamboo hat that had been taken from his head in his hand, his face was slightly red with anger.Looking at Chang Sheng who was hugged by him again, he understood a little bit.

"Changsheng, your friend really cares about you." After saying that, Chi Lu picked up Changsheng, tapped the tile with his toes, and arrived in front of Murong Zhaohui in a blink of an eye. "My lord must have misunderstood. I was discussing acupuncture points with Chang Sheng, and I didn't intend to do any harm."

Changsheng had just come down from the roof, and he had just been clicked, so he staggered a little.Seeing Murong Zhaohui's face flushed slightly with anger, he quickly said: "Yes, Zhaohui, I'm asking Chi Lu how to acupoint, he's not bullying me. He just touched the pockmarked acupoint on my arm as a demonstration... ..."

Murong Zhaohui saw that Chang Sheng was fine, and that the young man named Chi Lu didn't seem to be acting unruly, so he was a little relieved, but felt slightly unhappy. "It turned out to be like this, I misunderstood." Although the misunderstanding was clarified, Murong Zhaohui was not very happy, he put on the bamboo hat, turned and left: "Changsheng, don't forget to eat when discussing kung fu."

Chang Sheng replied, looking at Murong Zhaohui's leaving figure, he felt for a moment whether he had done something wrong to make him unhappy.Changsheng lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

"It's okay, if he gets angry, he's angry with me. He cares about you very much." Chi Lu comforted softly as if he knew what Chang Sheng was thinking.After hearing Chi Lu's words, Chang Sheng hurriedly said: "Chi Lu, you are really a good person. In fact, I was wrong. I should tell him in advance that I want to learn Kung Fu from you, so that there will be no misunderstanding..."

The two communicated for a while, and this time Chi Lu didn't click on Changsheng's acupuncture point easily.Changsheng was also a little scared after being ordered, and he didn't dare to let Chi Lu try on him.The two continued to chat, from martial arts moves to human customs, they chatted happily.Changsheng also temporarily put aside the little disappointment just now, and planned to explain to Murong Zhaohui after lunch.

"Chi Lu, you are very interested today." Chang Sheng chatted happily and didn't notice anyone approaching at all.Looking up at this moment, the man in black who came with Chi Lu yesterday was standing not far from them.He still wore a bamboo hat and covered his face with a black veil, and the gems inlaid on the sword at his waist glistened in the sunlight.

Changsheng thinks that there are only a few kinds of people who wear veils, people who are too beautiful, people who are too ugly, and... bad people.Although the equipment of the man in black was exactly the same as that of Murong Zhaohui, Chang Sheng felt that the man in black was either an ugly person or a villain.

Chi Lu stopped talking, and said to the man in black, "Hi, Mr. Rong." There was still a slight sense of alienation in his tone.

The man in black looked towards Chang Sheng: "Where did this little thing come from?" There was a taste of contempt in his tone.

Changsheng didn't like his superior tone, so he kept silent.

"The friend I just met lives across from my room. Mr. Rong is busy with business, so he may not have noticed."

The man in black has a kind of nobility about him, unlike ordinary people.Changsheng didn't like his aggressive feeling, and he thought that Chi Lu might not like it either.

"Chi Lu, we have a distinguished guest after noon, it's getting late, you can go have dinner with me."

Chi Lu didn't return to the man in black, but talked to Chang Sheng first. "Changsheng, let's go here first today. I will copy a acupuncture point map for you tonight, see you next time." After saying this, he nodded and followed the pace of the man in black, and walked downstairs.

Chang Sheng found it strange that Chi Lu said he was the man's bodyguard, but he didn't look like that, nor did he say he was a friend.Chi Lu's tone of voice when talking to the man in black always carried a kind of polite alienation, and he didn't have any special respect for him.And the man in black... seems to care about Chi Lu.Changsheng shook his head, he couldn't think of a reason, so he didn't want to.

Changsheng sat on the railing for a while, staring at the peach trees in the backyard in a daze.After a while, it was almost noon, and Changsheng's stomach was growling with hunger, so he walked back slowly.As soon as he entered the room, Chang Sheng's eyelids twitched. Murong Zhaohui was sitting in front of the table. The table was full of delicious food and filled the room with aroma.

"Changsheng, you're hungry, sit down and eat." Murong Zhaohui pointed to a pair of empty bowls and chopsticks beside the table and said.

Chang Sheng sat down, a little cautious, he realized that today was a little different from usual.Normally, Murong Zhaohui would sit with him in the private room on the second floor for a while, but this time he asked someone to prepare it and bring it to his room, and... it was delivered to his room.Seeing Murong Zhaohui calmly picking up the bowls and chopsticks to pick up vegetables to eat, as usual, nothing wrong with him, Changsheng also filled the rice for himself, and forgot everything else after a while, even after eating four or five bowls, he still couldn't get enough of it.Although the food in the inn was not as exquisite as the cooks in the palace of Chu, it was full of local flavor, and Changsheng could eat a lot of it every meal.After eating and drinking enough, Xiao Er cleaned up the table and drank a cup of tea, Chang Sheng felt a little sleepy.I went to bed late last night, and got up early today, so I naturally lacked sleep.

"Changsheng, you have to be careful of that person named Chi Lu." Murong Zhaohui said seriously.

Changsheng was taken aback, and quickly said: "Zhaohui, Chi Lu is a good person..."

"It's not so easy to see a good person and a bad person. You just judge him like this when you first met him. You know, it takes a long time to see people's hearts. The one named Chi Lu... should be Miao people." Changsheng said in surprise: "How do you know, Jiang Ling checked it?"

"The boat for the two people in the opposite room came from Wuling County. Wuling County is a county with few people and many Han people, especially Miao people and Ba people. Didn't you notice when he taught you Kung Fu? He They wear silver ornaments on their wrists, and the buttons on their clothes are also made of silver. Miao people like to use silver ornaments for decoration, and they can test poisons when they travel in the rivers and lakes to avoid being plotted against."

"Miao people... what's the matter..." Changsheng tried hard to recall Chi Lu's appearance, only then remembered that Chi Lu was indeed wearing a silver bracelet.It is very thin, there is no pattern on it, and it does not look feminine.

"Wuling County is the place with the most dangerous mountains and rivers in Chu. Although the scenery is beautiful, there is very little cultivated land and the land is barren. In order to survive, many of the Miao people living there know some secret techniques such as strange magic, counting and blinding. He is good at making and using poison and Gu techniques. I have heard that Miao people used Gu insects to control people's will and make people obedient slaves. I saw that he is very good at kung fu, and he must have a lot of background. Longevity...for your safety , it’s best to have less contact with him. Just like you are today, let him touch you a little bit, in case he plays a trick on you..."

Changsheng was speechless, Murong Zhaohui cared about him, Changsheng was very happy, glad that Murong Zhaohui was thinking of him, but he felt that Chi Lu would not endanger his safety.

"Understood, but I think... Chi Lu is not a bad person. He talked to me a lot about martial arts, which is very helpful for my practice."

"Play a game of chess with me. It's quite lively outside today, and the martial arts conference will start tomorrow. If you want to participate, you have to recharge your batteries."

Changsheng's eyes lit up: "Zhaohui, you mean... I can go to the competition?"

"It depends on the situation. The martial arts competition is a round-robin competition system, which is divided into several venues. The contestants can enter the second round only after defeating ten contestants in a row. Difficult to pass."

Changsheng happily said: "Okay, I will listen to you."
