Peach Blossom Button

Bai Wangyan made a good guess.

Tan Taiying nodded her head and lowered her eyebrows, she couldn't help secretly admiring this master student sent by the Qin Immortal to solve the problems of Shenjian Valley.Along the way, he had already seen that the scholar in white was not an ordinary pedantic scholar, on the contrary, the scholar in front of him might be more proficient in martial arts than him.Unlike Tao Mo, he knew that Bai Jin's name was far more than just recently. According to the fairy Shangqin, this young man named Bai Jin was his favorite student. And the art of Qin has been passed down by Qin Xian.Master Shenjian Shaogu originally didn't believe that this Qin Xian with unfathomable martial arts would have an apprentice who could not learn martial arts, but since he secretly probed this way, he can be sure that the other party has no internal strength and is not a martial arts practitioner.

It's really strange.

"Mr. Bai is right, except for those foreigners, a group of Taoist priests from the Chongxuan Sect of Mount Taiyi came here," Tantai Ying said, "It just so happens that there are indeed disciples of Taoist Xuanlin among them."

"That's it." Bai Wangyan said with a smile, "Since they are the Taoists of the Chongxuan Sect, I guess their goal is not the sword that was rewarded at the conference. What they are concerned about is probably the calm 'flowing water' and Let's 'Xingyun' this time." Having said that, Bai Wangyan shook his fan and chuckled, waiting for Tantaiying to answer himself.

Tao Mo was at a loss as he listened, he only knew that Tantai Ying was taken aback by Bai Wangyan's words, and the skeptical expression just now was gradually replaced by surprise. The look in his eyes grew more bewildered.Seeming to be a little dizzy from the words of the white-clothed scholar, Tantaiying shook her head vigorously, blinked her eyes a few times, looked at Bai Wangyan in front of her, and said in surprise, "You... know these two swords?"

"What's the matter?" Bai Wangyan laughed out loud, "How can you let 'Xingyun' go when you stare at 'Flowing Water'?"

Seeing the two of them talking about things he didn't know like guessing a riddle, Tao Mo felt a little anxious, but he immediately felt relieved.These two people, one is the Master of the Divine Sword Shaogu, and the other is the Master of the Qin Immortal who knows things like a god. I am just a stunned young man who has just ventured into the world. It's still too hard to say.

The three of them walked forward while talking about business, and saw that they had reached the courtyard surrounded by the bamboo forest, surrounded by the breeze, and the bamboo forest swayed.Except for the small bridge and flowing water, there is a qin in the small pavilion in the forest.When Bai Wangyan saw the piano, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he restrained himself instantly. At this moment, the Master of the Excalibur Shaogu stood by the courtyard gate and made a "please" gesture to the two: " This 'Green Frost Garden' is quite a secluded place in the valley, I have dismissed the guards here, you two can rest assured."

Bai Wangyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Shaogu."

"Father told me specifically," Tan Taiying sighed, "Fortunately, brother Tao is here, otherwise I'm really afraid that someone will plot against you again! It's also strange, you don't know martial arts and you don't want to be guarded and protected. The killer came to attack at night, Mr. Bai, you..."

Bai Wangyan just waved his hands and said with a smile: "I've been living cautiously for so many years, isn't it? Besides, with Tao Mo around, I have nothing to be afraid of."

Tao Mo looked at Bai Wangyan in surprise, and he was surprised. Did Bai Wangyan dismiss all the puppet guards in the residence when he was in Senluo Villa?It's just that the situation is different from when we were in the Puppet Villa. Although there is a maze outside, Chi Lian is still entrenched outside the valley. Besides, it is the eve of the Sword Tasting Conference, and he has many hands. The killer who sneaked in, this is really tricky... Bai Wangyan didn't know whether he had a big heart, or he trusted himself too much, but he said such a thing, Tao Mo was in a state of turmoil for a moment, he didn't know whether he should agree or not Say something else.

But he did agree to help Bai Wangyan.

"Well," Tao Mo took a deep breath, collected himself, and said seriously, "It will be fine."

Seeing that his answer was quite formal, Tantaiying also saw that the black-clothed swordsman was not someone who would talk nonsense, so he smiled and said, "Brother Tao, your answer is really straightforward, then I'm relieved."

"Hey, let's not stand outside the door and say, come in." Saying this, Tantaiying waved her hand, beckoning the two of them to enter the quiet and elegant courtyard, but just as they stepped into the courtyard door, At this moment, Tan Taiying saw the old scabbard hanging from Tao Mo's waist, as if he suddenly remembered something, he scratched his hair, and said to the two: "The courtyard has been cleaned up, you two rest first Just a moment, I'll go get something, and I'll be here soon!" Saying this, Master Shenjian Shaogu smiled apologetically at the two, turned around and quickly ran out of the courtyard.

Tao Mo frowned slightly, not knowing what Tantai Ying was doing in a hurry, but Bai Wangyan's eyes were on Tao Mo's waist, and he patted Tao Mo's shoulder with a light smile: "After all, it is a divine sword. The young owner of the valley has a lot of affairs, so don't worry too much about it."

Having said that, the two stepped on the bamboo forest path, crossed the delicate stone bridge over the winding water, and walked into the Qingshuang courtyard.The place is extremely secluded, the water surface is slightly choppy, and the wind passing through the bamboo forest really seems to echo in the empty valley.This courtyard is relatively large, even if there is a family living there, there is still space, but there is nothing else except the two of them, so it looks extraordinarily empty.The two went up to the second floor and chose a nearby room to live temporarily. After entering the room, Tao Mo put the baggage he had brought with him on the table and sat on the bed, holding his empty scabbard in a daze .

This "Wenjian" that accompanied him in his adventures, the "Wenjian" in the mouth of the Master of the Excalibur Shaogu, was broken after all.And the remaining broken sword was also fiercely pierced into the back of the Shuangyue Pavilion killer when he was fighting Huo Chilian, and was lost in the deep forest full of mazes.Tao Mo stretched out his hand to caress the lonely scabbard, and the sourness in his heart welled up again.This sword is of great significance to him, but it is also helpless.

This may be like the period of his comfortable life that he thought could go on forever, but it came to an abrupt end with the murder of his master.He originally thought that he could practice martial arts well on Qiulian Mountain, and when he grows up to be a master of swordsmanship like his master, he can take in a few apprentices and revitalize the Qiushui Sword Sect with peace of mind.And all of this is like the iron hoof that trampled on the peach blossoms many years ago, crushing his fantasy into mud, and it's like the sword snapped suddenly.

The hilt of the sword was gripped tighter and tighter, and Tao Mo stared at the pattern carved on the scabbard, his eyes were distracted, but at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.Tao Mo looked up abruptly, and happened to meet the white-clothed scholar's eyes, he was relieved, and when he released his hand from the hilt, lines were printed on his palm.

"Tao Mo," Bai Wangyan leaned against the door, his eyes averted from his face, swaying from side to side, and thousands of words finally turned into one sentence: "I'm sorry."

Tao Mo looked at him, then carefully wrapped the scabbard in cloth with no expression on his face, and said while wrapping, "I said it before, you don't need to apologize."

"It's not about that," Bai Wangyan sighed, "This sword..."

"It belongs to my master," Tao Mo replied without raising his head, "You should have guessed it."

Bai Wangyan wanted to say something, but he was uncertain about Tao Mo's current mood, his eyes circled over Tao Mo's head, and finally he let out a muffled "um".

"It's okay." Tao Mo wrapped the scabbard in cloth and carefully placed it beside the pillow. He raised his head and said to Bai Wang, "Compared to being old and dusty, this is still suitable for it." So saying, Tao Mo Mo added, "I came here to find a better sword."

I thought Tao Mo was too depressed like this, but what he said made Bai Wangyan secretly surprised, but immediately, a faint smile appeared on the lips of the white-clothed scholar.It seemed like it was exactly what he wanted, Bai Wangyan thought so.

"In the Divine Sword Valley, the most indispensable thing is the sword," Bai Wangyan pulled a chair and sat down. "The gift for the leader of this sword tasting conference is called 'Xingyun'. If I guess correctly, The group of Taoist priests must have forced this sword to fail, and they planned to tamper with the leader in the meeting. Besides, the two swords of flowing water and clouds are male and female swords. If Xuan Linzi wants this one, he definitely wants the sword The second in the pool, but the sword pool is a holy place for the Divine Sword Valley, I don't know what method they will use to get the 'flowing water' out."

"To solve the problem of Shenjian Valley, it is necessary to stop these Taoist priests from making trouble..." Bai Wangyan sighed, his eyes fell outside the window, "But I guess, the real difficulty may not be on these Taoist priests... ..."
