There are bandits in Zhongshan

Li Langxuan smiled kindly, but Changli sensed that behind that smile was a ready-to-go fierceness. This time she went out to pass the time, and she didn't bring out the sword case, so she took a step forward, intending to put Zhong Ming Zhu pulled away from Li Langxuan.

Stand a little farther away, if something really happens, you'll have time to deal with it.

When Li Langxuan came, he focused on Zhong Mingzhu, and cared too much about Changli, so he turned his head to look at her, his eyes that were narrowed into a line widened a little, looking like a pair of mung beans , there was a bit of surprise on his face, which was a circle bigger than ordinary people.

He always greets people with a smile on his face, even if he is about to make a killer move in the next moment, he still looks very amiable on the surface, even people with higher cultivation bases rarely notice this, but now Chang Li has seen through it all at once. Originally, he thought Changli was one of the many juniors who had gained fame but was only mediocre, but now he was a little surprised, looked her up and down several times, and said repeatedly: "Young people are awesome, young people are awesome."

Cultivators look down on mortals, and even everything in the mortal world. Hantan incense is a fine wine in the mortal world. Of course, the monks who watch the shop have never heard of it, but Li Langxuan is different. He is famous far and near, but in fact he has no self-motivation in self-cultivation, instead he likes to enjoy himself. Luxurious houses, luxury cars, fine wine and delicacies are all his favorites.

If this point is spread out, other monks will definitely laugh at it, so although he has stored a cellar of good wine, only a few people know about it, and suddenly someone comes to the Zhenbao Pavilion to find mortal wine, he will inevitably become suspicious, and even more so. What's more, that person was the one Lu Lin asked him to pay special attention to not long ago.

Lu Lin told him not to be too curious and not to trouble the other party, but everyone took the initiative to send him to his door, wouldn't it be a bit of a loss not to find out something?

As soon as he saw Zhong Mingzhu, he considered whether to take him back without anyone noticing and interrogating him slowly. Unexpectedly, he thought about it, and Changli noticed that something was wrong. He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble , so he put aside his previous thoughts, and asked with a smile, "Does Fairy Changli also want my Hantan incense?"

The hidden fierce aura disappeared all of a sudden, Chang Li looked at him, then at Zhong Mingzhu, without saying a word.Zhong Mingzhu chuckled, she still stood where she was, and didn't move half a step from beginning to end, as if she didn't know that she was almost in danger, she explained in a brisk tone: "I just thought of it suddenly, I thought it was suitable for the current season, so I came here to try my luck .” While speaking, she also patted Chang Li’s arm, as if telling her not to be nervous.

"You're lucky." Li Langxuan smiled, "But I have twenty or thirty varieties of Hantan incense alone. I don't know what kind of fellow daoists want."

"If Boss Li doesn't mind the trouble, I can pick it myself so that the taste doesn't go wrong." Zhong Mingzhu said.

Li Langxuan was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

The monk who took care of the shop felt that the girl didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and as long as she had a little vision, she would say something like "Boss Li just give me whatever you want" at this time, but that person even boasted that he wanted to choose it himself.He thought that Li Langxuan would probably drive the girl away, but the next moment he heard Li Langxuan say "Yes" twice, very loudly, as if he was overjoyed.

The backyard of Zhenbao Pavilion is connected with Li Langxuan's private house, Li Langxuan left first, Changli wanted to walk in front of Zhong Mingzhu, but was blocked.

"It'll be fine in a while, master, why don't you see if there is anything you like here, and I will buy it together when I come back, so as to save some time." Zhong Mingzhu squeezed her hand and said, "It's okay, Boss Li will definitely not embarrass me, a junior."

Seeing her relaxed expression, Changli agreed, and after Zhong Mingzhu's hand was pulled away, the skin that was originally touching turned cold instantly.

At this time, the monk who had been left alone for a long time came up to him. Hearing Zhong Mingzhu's words, he thought that although Fairy Changli allowed her apprentice to mess around, she should be more interested in spiritual weapons and treasures based on her principles, so he With a wave of his hand, a variety of rare objects immediately appeared beside Changli.Those are illusions projected by the magic weapon, but they are close to the real thing, allowing people to see clearly what it is.

"I wonder if Fairy Changli is interested?" He asked, half proud and half curious.

Chang Li didn't reply immediately, but carefully inspected the magic weapons, and there was nothing missing, and he would look at each one for a while.

The monk thought that Changli must be interested to look at everything so carefully, but he didn't know that she was actually thinking about the conversation with Zhong Mingzhu about what she wanted, so she looked at it extra carefully.

She not only saw the spirit circle runes on the device, but also the shape and texture, every tiny corner was not missed.

There were fifty instruments in total, and she read them all before saying, "No."

The monk waited attentively at first, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear what Chang Li said, so he simply concentrated on looking at Chang Li's appearance.

There are beauties in front of you, so you must feast your eyes.He looked Changli from head to toe calmly, thinking to himself that Fairy Changli really lived up to her reputation. Although she was only a Nascent Soul, she looked more like a fairy than some supernatural powers. Fairy Changli looks dignified and prudent, with a grand air, how can she teach such a naughty apprentice.

It must be that the girl relied on her master as Fairy Changli, and she was confident and confident.Thinking of this, his dissatisfaction with the girl deepened.If I were Fairy Changli's disciple, I would definitely not do anything that would hurt her face—he couldn't help thinking about it, and then he was completely immersed in his own thoughts, so that when Changli finally spoke, he didn't react , blankly said: "Nothing?"

"I'm not interested." Chang Li said again.

"Oh, that's how it is..." The monk blushed, smiled awkwardly, waved his hand, and immediately changed a batch of magic weapons in front of Changli, and this time the texture was better than before, "Why don't you look at these ?”

He originally listed some exquisite magic weapons that Nascent Soul cultivators could control. Seeing that Fairy Changli was not interested in any of them, he was inevitably disappointed. Under the disappointment, he was a little dissatisfied, so he added a lot of magic weapons in the transformation stage to this batch. The magic weapon, he thought, no matter how powerful Changli was, it was only in the Nascent Soul realm, and it was impossible not to be tempted by the magic weapon of the transformation stage.

Just when Changli was about to pick up the nearest piece of meteorite that looked heavy, Zhong Mingzhu's voice came in: "There are so many runes piled on it, I'm not afraid to explode this good meteorite."

She walked up to Changli, waved her hands lazily, pushed those phantoms aside, and said, "Everything is ready, Master, is there anything you like?"

Changli said no, and Zhong Mingzhu pulled her out: "Let's go, anyway, those are not rare."

"What do you know?" The cultivator was out of breath, thinking that there are exquisite charms on it, how can you, a little cultivator, say no to it indiscriminately, and wanted to stop her from arguing with her, but was blocked by Li Langxuan.

Li Langxuan came back after Zhong Mingzhu. He said with a dry smile, "Harmony makes money, and harmony makes money. Besides, there are indeed too many runes on the meteorite."

He had the same smile on his face as before he left, but for some reason, his face seemed a little pale.

After leaving Zhenbao Pavilion, Zhong Mingzhu took Changli out of Yanlu City, and headed southeast with Yujian.

"Where are you going?" Changli asked before leaving the city, but Zhong Mingzhu said, "It's not far from here, just follow me."

Now that Zhong Mingzhu said so, Changli didn't ask any more questions.

It was indeed not far away, after only two hours of walking, Zhong Mingzhu signaled his arrival.

It is a large lake hidden in the mountains. The calm lake reflects the stars and the moon. There are dotted islands in the lake, and many peach trees are planted on the islands.

There are mortal towns outside the mountain, but because of the steepness of the mountain, few people can enter the mountain, so it is very quiet here, and their arrival is like throwing a small stone into a huge lake.Although it made the water ripple for a while, it was still not noisy.

The island where we settled is close to the center of the lake, half of which is higher and shaped like a crescent moon, surrounding the other half of flat ground.

It was already mid-June, and the season of peach blossoms had already passed, but it was not yet the time for peach harvesting. The peach forest was so dense that it looked no different from ordinary forests under the night light.

The place where they landed was on a high place, and there was a path winding through the forest to the flat ground below, leading to the lake. There was a thatched hut near the water, which seemed to be very old. Generally speaking, the thatched hut has been through wind and rain for several times. After being beaten, it will show a crumbling and dilapidated appearance, but although the thatch on this thatched hut is slowly fluttering in the wind, the frame of the house is very stable.When he got closer, Changli found that it was covered with a barrier.

"Someone lives here?" she asked.

"No." Zhong Mingzhu explained, "I just asked Boss Li if there is any place suitable for drinking near him, and he pointed me here. But this place has a lot of background."

"What's the matter?"

"Don't worry, I'll talk to you slowly." Zhong Mingzhu pushed open the door of the hut, and came out with two chairs and a small table. As a newcomer, Chang Li couldn't help being curious, and asked her, "Have you been here before?"

"How is that possible." Zhong Mingzhu put the table and chairs by the water, sat down first, and signaled Chang Li to sit down as well, "Boss Li told me this, he used to come here to drink."

"Are we here for a drink too?"

"We call it—" Zhong Mingzhu smiled slightly, and stopped the conversation deliberately like a trick.

"What's your name?" Chang Li was still waiting for the second part of her sentence, when suddenly there was a fishing rod in his hand, and at the same time he heard the other party's smiling voice.

"Sneaking leisure in a floating life." Zhong Mingzhu shook his head and said a few words in cadence, "A pot of wine among the flowers, half a day's leisure on the shore, this is the bliss of life."

When she mentioned the words "a jug of wine", she put a celadon wine jug on the table, took two more celadon wine cups, filled each with wine, handed a glass to Chang Li, and then said: "It's a pity At this time, the flowering period has passed, but the fish in the water is very plump, and it is good to accompany wine."

While listening to her talk, Chang Li drank the glass of wine slowly. It was cool in the mouth and the taste of the wine was not strong. It was more like an ice spring, and it seemed to have no temperature at night.After putting down the wine cup, she looked at the fishing rod in her hand, and thought that what Zhong Mingzhu said was probably a pity that she didn't pay the bill for drinking. It would be better if there were fish to drink with, so she found a bait and hung it up. Then throw the pole towards the center of the lake.

After a few ups and downs, the buoy calmed down, only swaying slightly with the water waves.

It seems that it has been a long time since this idea came to her mind, but it was actually less than three months ago. It was a night similar to now. She was fishing near a spring in Wuquan Mountain and caught a few Yue Channa was roasted by Zhong Mingzhu.

Changli recalled the taste of the moon snakehead at that time. The moon snakehead in the mountain spring was small in size and firm in flesh. After roasting, the surface was crispy and the inside was soft. After seasoning with spices, the taste was rich, and the honey-soaked spiritual fruit neutralized the taste. A punch of spice.At this time, a perch jumped out of the water, and she saw that the perch was more than a foot long, so she turned to think about how Zhong Mingzhu dealt with these big fish before.But after thinking about it for a long time, she found that what impressed her the most was the baked snakehead last time. She had eaten a lot when she was on the mountain before, but she didn't seem to pay much attention to it.

The strange feeling came to her heart again, she thought of what Zhong Mingzhu said a few days ago "Some people can't see even if they are not deaf or blind", she thought: Could it be that I was such a person before?

Another perch jumped out of the water, and she caught a glimpse of the fat gills, and her thoughts drifted to other places—it should taste good roasted like last time, but in this way, the jug of wine probably won't taste much tasted.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the jug, and then found that Zhong Mingzhu's wine cup was still full.

don't you drink?

Just when she was about to ask this question, she noticed that there was a pile of bamboo on the ground at some point. There were bamboo branches as thin as a finger, and there were also bamboo poles with a section as big as the mouth of a bowl. Zhong Mingzhu was concentrating on choosing among them. There was no spiritual power on the bamboo. , is the moso bamboo that can be seen everywhere in the world.

"What are you doing?" Chang Li couldn't think of what those bamboos could be used for. If it was a fishing rod, it seemed to be too short, and she already had one in her hand.

She remembered that Zhong Mingzhu said that one person is enough for fishing, and the other person can use this time to do other things.

"Pick bamboo." Zhong Mingzhu picked out one, held it up and weighed it, then threw it aside. It seemed that she was dissatisfied. She picked another bamboo, but quickly threw it away. She muttered "not straight enough" from time to time. "There is a scar", "too thick" and so on, it took me a long time to choose a few.

"What do you pick bamboo for?" Chang Li asked again.

"It's not fun to say it." Zhong Mingzhu winked at her mysteriously, then called out Zhu Mingtie, laid a simple formation under his feet, put the picked bamboo in it, and looked up to be good at it Still looking at her, Li smiled and said, "But you can guess."

There was only a small table between the two, and Chang Li could clearly see the spirit patterns flowing in the formation.There is a gust of hot wind inside, baking those bamboo strips, the temperature is not high enough to ignite them.

It looks like it is to dry the moisture in the bamboo, but what to do to dry the bamboo, Changli can't think of it. When he was on the mountain, Zhong Mingzhu often tinkered with some gadgets that she couldn't name.

After a while, Zhong Mingzhu took back Zhu Mingtie. The bamboos turned dark yellow after being dried. She took out a small knife and split the thickest bamboo poles into thin strips a few times. Gen cut off the sharp corners, and in her hands, the irregular bamboo strips quickly became rounded.

Changli knows that Zhong Mingzhu's hands are very skillful, and she made everything from the dormitory to the decorations in Chongming Juli by herself. Yun Yi once praised the ingenious Chongming Juli that has been transformed.But it was just knowing, when Chang Li tried to recall more specific details, he found that everything was vague.

Although she knew that there were flower gardens and ponds in the yard, she couldn't quite tell what kind of flower gardens and ponds they looked like, as if those were not her residence, but scenes that she accidentally glimpsed one day.

Those long years are like spring water flowing through the bluestone, leaving nothing but faint water marks.

The cut bamboo branches were piled on the table, about five or six inches long, and soon there were four or five.

Chang Li changed his hand to hold the fishing rod, and pulled out a bamboo stick with the other hand to look at it.Probably due to her habit of not using spells when fishing, she didn't use her spiritual sense, but chose to see with her naked eyes.

The bamboo branch is very thin, much thinner than her little finger, and the edges and corners have been cut off, but it is not round, but rather flat, with one end slightly pointed and holes punched at both ends.

While she was looking at it, Zhong Mingzhu had cut seven or eight more, each of the same length and thickness.

This is the first time that Changli has watched Zhong Mingzhu do this so seriously. She put the bamboo stick back, and her eyes fell on Zhong Mingzhu's hand flying nimbly among the sawdust. She saw another bamboo stick. The strips gradually took shape, and she unconsciously said in her heart: She seems to know nothing.

At this time, Zhongmingzhu was already cutting bamboo strips of another length, about three feet long, slightly thicker than the previous ones.Chang Li looked at the bamboo sticks that were gradually piled up on the table, finally gave up guessing, and said bluntly, "I can't guess."

As soon as the words fell, the end of the fishing rod sank suddenly, pulling the whole fishing rod towards the center of the lake. She raised her hand quickly, and the silver thread came out of the water, and the top was empty, even the hook was gone.It turned out that her attention was all on Zhong Mingzhu's side, and she didn't notice when she was floating or sinking. Then she raised her hand hastily and tore off the thread.She took back the fishing rod, and thought that there were no extra hooks in her storage ring, so she wanted to ask Zhong Mingzhu for it, and when she turned her head, she met a pair of smiling eyes.

"This is a treasure land, and the fish are smart." She snickered a few times, and then she couldn't hide it, so she laughed out loud, "Haha, master, you can't take it lightly."

Changli pursed her lips, and put on a new hook and bait without saying a word. After throwing the rod again, she no longer went to look at Zhong Mingzhu, but stared at the lake. She used to do this when she was fishing. Concentrate on the matter in hand, without any slack.There has never been a case where the biting fish got away.

Seeing that she was silent, Zhong Mingzhu restrained himself a little and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chang Li lowered his eyes and answered after a while: "It's nothing, I was distracted."

"It's just to sneak away, so why not be distracted." Zhong Mingzhu broke the bamboo strip in his hand into half moons and let go, lazily watching the loosened end dangling back and forth, and then said, "I laughed Not because you were distracted, but because it felt good."

"very good?"

"Isn't it good that the famous Fairy Changli is distracted by me?" She laughed again after speaking.

Does being distracted have anything to do with being nice?

Changli still doesn't quite understand, but Zhong Mingzhu has already talked about something else: "But it's true that the fish here are smarter than those elsewhere."

"Because this is a treasure land?" Changli thought of what she said before.

"It should be said that it used to be a treasure land." Zhong Mingzhu pointed forward, "Maybe you can see what is facing you in front of you?"

Changli looked in the direction she pointed, the lake was very big, with the naked eye he could only see the endless lake water, but she was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, so she could easily take in the scenery of the whole valley.

There are many other islands in the lake, but none of them are located directly in front of her. Crossing the lake, she saw the end of the lake, a stone wall vertically inserted into the water. The stone wall is part of the mountain, but it is extremely flat, and the rest of the mountain is covered. Green quilt, except that there is no variegated color on the stone wall. It is as white as jade, and it is like a mirror, reflecting the sparkling light under the moonlight.

"Is it jade?" She was a little uncertain.

"That's right, it's a jade wall. There are jade stones hidden in the mountain, and that part was cut open by someone, and it became like this."

"That man's swordsmanship is extremely high." Chang Li said, she had already seen that the jade wall was cut out by a sword, and also saw that the sword wielder's attainments in swordsmanship far surpassed her own.

The jade wall is thirty feet high. A monk can destroy the mountain with his profound cultivation, but if he wants to split the jade with a sword in one go without leaving any flaws on the surface, he must have extremely superb swordsmanship.

"Then can you guess which treasure land this time is?" Zhong Mingzhu asked with a smile.

Yubi, sword.

Chang Li stared at the floats swaying on the lake with the water patterns, and read four words softly:

"Heavenly Sword Power."
