Peach Blossom Button

The question Bai Wangyan raised was something Tao Mo had always wanted to ask. He really didn't understand why the exquisite heart created by Master Mo with all his energy in the Qianjilu could only make simple movements, not at all. As mentioned in the records, it is possible to make the puppet act like a living person, but in the end the puppet actually ran out of the secret room by itself... It is simply unimaginable.However, what happened in the puppet villa in the rain was really not common sense. Tao Mo knew very well in his heart that these things were not as simple as he saw in his eyes.He didn't know if Bai Wangyan had seen the book "A Thousand Machines Records" written by Ji Liang, but he had indeed read it with his hands in his hand, and knew the little-known secrets in it.

What is the use of the exquisite heart? Is it the same as the peach blossom button, the key to unlocking the unknown palace?Although he was puzzled in his heart, Tao Mo decided not to talk about it with the white-clothed scholar in front of him.Although he chooses to trust Bai Wangyan now, he hasn't trusted him to the point of confessing his heart.

"Perhaps." The black-clothed swordsman returned to his usual silence. He nodded slightly, agreeing with Bai Wangyan's guess, but did not raise any other points of view.This made the white-clothed scholar who was sitting in front of him raise his eyebrows slightly, and rolled his eyes, but Bai Wangyan smiled again: "This kind of thing won't be rushed anytime soon."

"Well," Tao Mo nodded. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what Bai Wangyan wanted to say. He didn't know whether it was his illusion or other reasons. In the same way, Bai Wangyan must know something that he doesn't know, but for some reason, he didn't say it outright.The person who took away Linglong's heart... After all, he showed lightness in front of Bai Wangyan. If Bai Wangyan, he should have seen his martial arts skills, right?Tao Mo stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, thought about it, and said his guess: "When that person took Linglong's heart, can you remember which school and school of lightness kung fu it was?"

Bai Wangyan immediately shook his head: "I have considered this matter, but that man's lightness kung fu is really good, I didn't see his footwork clearly for a while, so I couldn't judge it."

It turned out to be a lightness kung fu that even Bai Wangyan couldn't tell, so he had no choice but to give up.

"By the way, is the jade pendant I gave you still there?" Just when Tao Mo didn't know what to say, Bai Wangyan asked suddenly.Tao Mo was taken aback by the question, and hurriedly took out the warm white jade pendant from his chest, and handed it to Bai Wangyan.Seeing this, Bai Wangyan's peach blossom eyes narrowed into crescent moons. He took the jade pendant carefully, stroked the pattern of strange beasts on it, and then solemnly returned his hands to Tao Mo, and said, "Put it on, and be careful. Save it, don't lose it."

Taking the jade pendant again, Tao Mo nodded despite his doubts in his heart. He simply took off his original jade pendant and replaced it with a white jade pendant.

Just when Bai Wangyan was about to open his mouth to say something else, a horse neighed from outside the door. Bai Wangyan cast his gaze in the direction outside the door, and murmured, "It is Master Tantai Shaogu who has come." Having said that, he quickly put away Tao Mo and his empty bowl, and hurried towards the gate. Seeing this, Tao Mo hurriedly got up and followed out.

Outside the small courtyard, which was not spacious at first, stood a tall man from a foreign land. He was leading a maroon horse, and he actually filled the narrow courtyard to the brim.Seeing Bai Wangyan who came to open the door, the owner of Tantai Shaogu just smiled politely, but when he saw Tao Mo following behind, his eyes lit up immediately, and he approached and reached out to pat Tao vigorously. Mo's shoulder.

"Brother Tao! How did you rest yesterday, we are going to the Excalibur Valley today!"

Tantai Ying is good at wielding long swords, so his strength is naturally not small. This moment, Tao Mo felt his shoulders sink, but he still calmly replied: "Thank you, Master Tantai Shaogu."

"Hey, thank you, I want to thank you! Speaking of which, Ah Ning couldn't forget you yesterday! She still wants me to ask if Tao Shaoxia has someone in mind..." Speaking of this, Tantai Ying Ha ha laughed, but at this moment, a bare hand clenched into a fist and punched him hard on the back. The girly eyebrows of the girl named Ah Ning stood up, and her face flushed red: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Hahaha, I'm getting angry just talking about it." Tantaiying smiled and let her hammer herself casually. Anyway, that kind of girl's powder fist does not pose any threat to this tall swordsman, so let the little girl Just vent your anger.The door was blocked by Tantai Ying just now, but Tao Mo didn't notice that the girl who was rescued by him yesterday was standing outside the door, just as he looked at Ah Ning, the other party blushed and looked away immediately.I didn't realize it yesterday, this Ah Ning really has a beautiful face like a peach blossom, even though she is dressed plainly and without makeup, she is still slender and lovely.

She looks like someone she once knew, if that person was a little older, she would probably be more beautiful than her...

"Young Master Tao."

A cool voice came from beside him, and Tao Mo was awakened by this cold call from his memories, he turned his head in a little surprise, and met Bai Wangyan's clear eyes.It was only then that Tao Mo realized that he had been staring at Ah Ning for too long, his face flushed with shame, and he wished he could get into the ground.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Tao Mo hurriedly apologized, but Tantai Ying burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Brother Tao, if you really like Ah Ning, you just happen to be in love with each other!" Tantaiying said with a smile, "A Ning has been with me for many years, and she is like a sister to me. If you can be blessed to be happy with Brother Tao Getting married, that's really the best!"

Pulling out the white fan at his waist and shaking it, Bai Wangyan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Tao Shaoxia, such a match is rare in this world. If you want to marry this girl Ah Ning, why not use this opportunity to let Master Shaogu be a matchmaker?"

If these words came from someone else's mouth, Tao Mo would not feel any difference, but when they came from Bai Wangyan's mouth, he felt that these words were like a cold thorn, nailing him viciously to the ground.Tao Mo immediately shook his head, and he said solemnly to Tantai Ying: "Master Shaogu, please don't joke, I am like a duckweed, wandering in the rivers and lakes alone, and have no plans to get married yet."

"Hey, when this prodigal son finally turns around, he has been wandering for a long time, and it would be nice to have a home." Tan Taiying wanted to say something more, but Ah Ning tightened her eyebrows and tugged at his sleeves, Dissuaded: "Forget it, forget it!"

"Miss Ah Ning should have a good home. I am born with evil spirits, and I am wandering, so I can't delay the girl's life." Tao Mo cupped his fists at Taiying, "I'm sorry."

This Tao Mo refused to agree, but fortunately Tantai Ying is not the kind of person who is very face-saving, he just smiled heartily, waved his hands and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, since this is the case, I won't force it." But at this moment Suddenly, Tantaiying felt that she had been slapped violently, and then, the woman turned around and left, Tantaiying panicked all of a sudden, knowing that her maid had started to show her temper again, so she could only chase after her while shouting: "A Ning, A Ning?"

Tao Mo was also a little at a loss. He was about to follow, but stopped because of a sneer behind him.Bai Wangyan shook his fan, a pair of peach blossom eyes revealed a slightly teasing expression, he raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Tao Shaoxia to be so affectionate and righteous, well, the wording is also extremely elegant, if it is not for such words of rejection , it’s really very sweet, I don’t know how Tao Shaoxia... why is he so proficient in the words of rejection?"

"Don't laugh at me." Tao Mo put on a serious face. He just heard Bai Wangyan and started calling himself 'Tao Shaoxia', and he was a little unhappy. Now the scholar is using himself as a joke, and he feels a little sad for a moment Tao Mo sighed helplessly, turned his head away, and stopped looking at him.

Bai Wangyan waved his fan, knowing that Tao Mo was offended by what he said, but he deliberately said such a joke, otherwise it would be difficult to calm down the dissatisfaction in his heart.Holding the handle of the fan tightly with his fingers, Bai Wangyan frowned slightly. He stared at Tao Mo's back. For the past 20 years, his mind was as calm as water. After finally getting in touch with Tao Mo, the still water of a lake was unexpectedly stirred up. Rang Yang, the reason for this, even he himself can't figure it out.

Perhaps, this is just like when a spider is hunting and casting its net, it always makes people feel extremely excited.

With great difficulty, Tan Taiying found the angry girl A Ning again, and the four of them finally prepared to leave for the Shenjian Valley to participate in the world-famous sword tasting conference.Bai Wangyan said that although the yard is small, it has everything. Tao Mo went to the stable and saw his white-hoofed black horse grazing leisurely. When he sensed someone coming, the horse raised its head slightly and looked back He glanced at Tao Mo, but it was just such a glance, he pushed the white horse aside, and continued to bury his head in eating.

Has the horse not eaten for a few days?Tao Mo couldn't help being a little astonished, but he still walked over and smoothed the horse's mane, put on the harness, and led the reluctant black horse out of the stable.

"It's some distance away from the Excalibur Valley." Bai Wangyan brushed past Tao Mo, pulled out the white horse, and smiled at Tao Mo, "If it's quick, it will take four or five days."

Tao Mo was silent, he led the black horse and walked out, but the black horse neighed, and went to the manger together, and did not forget to eat two more bites before leaving.Bai Wangyan sighed with a smile, and asked, "Are you angry with me?"

"No."

"Is that so?" Bai Wangyan narrowed his eyes and watched Tao Mo leave in a hurry, and he led the horse out without haste, but he didn't stop talking, "Ah Mo, you have the words 'very good' written on your face. I can't just ignore the word 'angry', in case Miss Ah Ning thinks..."

"Bai Wangyan," Tao Mo stopped abruptly, turned his head, his brows furrowed, "I never knew before that you are such a noisy person."

"The noise in the world is all caused by the heart." Bai Wangyan smiled politely, "You think I'm noisy, it's just because I got what I said."

Tao Mo glared at him extremely irritatedly, and walked forward while leading the horse. He had a lackluster expression in the first place, but when he got angry, he could be seen immediately.Tan Taiying, who was waiting outside the door, saw Tao Mo angrily leading the horse out with a dark face, and couldn't help but take a step back in astonishment to make way for Bai Wang, who came out slowly leading the little white horse. He said, but his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he was extremely happy.

"Let's go to Shenjian Valley now." After locking the gate of the courtyard, Bai Wangyan happily smiled at Tantaiying beside him, "I will trouble you, Master Shaogu, along the way."

"What..." Tantai Ying quickly waved her hands, "Mr. Bai is really too polite."
