Peach Blossom Button

When Bai Wangyan said these words, there was profound meaning in his eyes, as if he had been looking at the lofty Changtian through the carved window lattice.Seeing his expression, Tao Mo suddenly felt troubled again.

He promised Bai Wangyan to help him solve the problems of Shenjian Valley. Hearing what the white-clothed scholar said, he might go to the group of Taoist priests, or the group of foreign people to fight with swords, but so he is unarmed, the only thing he has is this Old scabbard.He might be able to go to the Valley Market to buy a long sword, but if he didn't take advantage of it, he might face an embarrassing situation like that in the deep forest.

"I don't know if it's Xuan Linzi's big disciple Yun Yueyu who came to the valley this time, or that Lou Yueming," Bai Wangyan frowned slightly, and tapped his brows with a folding fan, "No matter which one it is, it's hard to deal with... …

Seeing him in such a difficult situation, Tao Mo was full of doubts.When he was walking in the rivers and lakes, he also heard about the name of Chongxuan School.This Chongxuan sect is the orthodox Taoist sect of today's martial arts, it is located on Mount Taiyi, and it cultivates Wuwei mentality, and even has a relationship with their Qiushuijian sect in martial arts.The Chongxuan sect is the righteous way of the world, and Tao Mo still knows this bit of common sense. He has never quite understood why Tan Taiying would say that these Chongxuan sect Taoists are here to make trouble. After holding back for a long time, he finally asked: "Chongxuan sect Pai is the right way, how could you do such a thing as robbery?"

Bai Wangyan listened, but he sneered: "How can there be good and evil in this martial arts world? But it's all for their own benefit. The Chongxuan sect has always regarded itself as righteous, and it is true, but this is the head of the sect. In the case of Reverend Yunhua, Xuan Linzi is Reverend Yunhua’s younger brother, and his behavior is basically the same as the evil way you understand. This time, he came to the Divine Sword Valley to make trouble, probably because the owner of the valley did not agree. I gave him the 'flowing water', and gave him the 'Xingyun' that was cast later as a prize for the conference, and when I became angry from embarrassment... that's it." Said, Bai Wangyan spread his hands and smiled.

Tao Mo nodded half-understanding: "Then, do you want to fight them?"

"Conflicts are inevitable," Bai Wangyan replied bluntly, "so I need your help. If Master Tantai Shaogu intervenes, this matter will be even more difficult."

Tao Mo was silent for a while, but as soon as he shut up, Bai Wangyan became a little flustered, and the white-clothed scholar hastily stretched out his hand to him: "Tao Mo, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that..."

"What do you mean?" Tao Mo looked at him strangely, he was just thinking about how this 'conflict' would arise, why did Bai Wangyan in front of him panic like this?But it was also strange, he had never seen such a panicked expression on this confident face.

"I..." Seeing Tao Mo's inexplicable expression, Bai Wangyan felt that he was thinking too much. He lowered his hand and changed his words: "Maybe it's not like this... It's just that I'm worried that this matter is not only So simple."

"My master and Xuan Linzi both came here because of the sword," Bai Wangyan continued, "but who spread the news, and what is the purpose of spreading the news? This sword tasting conference, I guess It's not that simple. Tao Mo, if you were to compete on stage, what percentage would you win?"

Bai Wangyan changed the subject and threw this extremely difficult question in front of Tao Mo.The swordsman in black lowered his head and did not answer immediately.

"I don't know." After thinking for a while, Tao Mo finally answered honestly.

But the white-clothed scholar didn't show any embarrassment, instead he said: "I've seen your swordsmanship, and every move and move is similar to their Chongxuan Liangyi swordsmanship. It must have some origins, which is just right. The so-called "Easy to have Taiji, is to produce Liangyi, Liangyi produces four images, and four images produce eight trigrams", the Liangyi swordsmanship and the swordsmanship you have learned should be assimilated into the Taiji swordsmanship, but they are not the same , very varied. If this is the reason, it will be easy to come up with a way to crack it," Bai Wangyan spread out the folding fan in his hand, shook it slightly, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "It may take hard work for you to compete on stage, if It feels hard, don't force it."

"I promise you, I will definitely not refuse," Tao Mo said, "I don't know what chance I have of winning, try my best. It's just that my sword is broken..."

There was a crackling sound in the bamboo forest outside the window, like the sound of a bird flapping its wings.

Tao Mo suddenly stopped talking. He looked over Bai Wangyan's shoulder and looked outside the door. At this moment, the Shaogu Master with the profound face of a foreigner jumped up the stairs carrying a thing wrapped in cloth. Come.As soon as he raised his head, Tantaiying happened to meet Tao Mo's sight, he chuckled, turned the thing in his hand upside down, and walked into the room quickly: "Brother Tao, look what I brought you !"

Tao Mo's eyes widened suddenly, he stared blankly at the thing in Tantai Ying's hand, but was speechless.

This, shouldn't it be...

Standing up, Bai Wangyan glanced at Tantai Ying behind him, nodded and said with a smile, "Please trouble Master Shaogu."

"Hey," Tan Taiying waved his hand, "No trouble, no trouble!" Then, he strode up to Tao Mo, handed the long cloth bag to Tao Mo, and said very solemnly: "I I will entrust Brother Tao with my humble work."

Tao Mo took it with both hands, and carefully lifted the cloth on it, revealing the works of master Shaogu wrapped in it.Unlike Master Shaogu himself, who was dressed particularly eye-catchingly, this was an extremely simple long sword without any other fancy decorations, only a hilt as black as night and a scabbard of black ink.But when he touched it with his fingers, he could feel the dark patterns carved on the scabbard. When Tao Mo touched the scabbard with his fingers, he found a very familiar pattern.

"The pattern on the scabbard is carved according to the peach blossoms that bloom in spring in the valley," Tan Taiying explained, "This sword is called 'Zhuohua', and it is also made of some sword soul."

"This is for me?" Tao Mo frowned, but at this moment, he passed the long sword forward with both hands, and returned it to Tantai Ying, "I can't take it."

"Why?" Tantai Ying asked in surprise.

"Can't afford it."

Such a straightforward answer is indeed Tao Mo's style.The expression on Tantaiying's face suddenly became very strange. He suppressed a smile, but then gave Bai Wangyan a look beside him, not daring to laugh out loud: "This...Brother Tao, why did you mention money? coming?"

"This is the sword you forged, I can't take it away." Tao Mo insisted on returning the sword to Tantai Ying, but the more he handed it forward, the more Tantai Ying retreated. Awkward.He finally got a little anxious, and said with a frown: "Master Shaogu forged it himself, and he took the best materials. If I were to buy it, I would definitely not be able to afford it. If that's the case, I'd better trouble you to take it back, I Tao Mo can't accept it."

"This, this..." Tantai Ying was forced to the wall by him, but she couldn't really take the sword back, "Brother Tao, you are too far-fetched, you and I are called brothers, and you still care about it." Such a small matter, don't you think I'm not a friend too much!"

Bai Wangyan shook his fan and walked between the two of them. He looked at the faces of the two with great interest, but he didn't speak. Instead, Tantaiying hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Bai! Brother Tao I really don’t accept it, what should I do!”

Bai Wangyan glanced at Tao Mo's face, and saw that the other party's face was sullen, as if he was really angry, so he could only sigh, "You can take it. This sword is the sword between me and Master Tantai. What Guzhu means is that you contribute to the Divine Sword Valley and help me settle the matter, how can you not have a weapon at hand? It just so happens that the sword of Shaoguzhu has not yet had a owner, isn’t this just right? It is only right and proper to receive rewards for meritorious service.”

When Bai Wangyan said this, Tao Mo took a step back suspiciously, and Tantai Ying finally got out of the pressure Tao Mo put on him. The Master of the Excalibur Shaogu gestured at Bai Wangyan and smiled bitterly. Said: "Brother Tao is good at this skill, I was taken aback by the aura just now."

Tao Mo carefully groped for the long sword named 'Zhao Hua' in his hand, then drew it out again, his eyes wandered carefully on the sharp blade, finally, he put the sword back into its sheath, and looked at the other two. He nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Good sword, thank you."

"It's a small matter, it's good that I can help you two." Having said that, Tan Taiying walked to the door, glanced downstairs, and muttered, "It's so slow..."

Just before he finished speaking, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps from downstairs, and then three maids hurried upstairs with food boxes. The impatient Shaogu owner quickly brought out the meals in the food box and put them on the table in Tao Mo's room. After that, they quickly exited the room as if fleeing for their lives and went downstairs.

Noticing that the maid's expression was not quite right, Tao Mo asked, "What's wrong with them?"

Not only Tao Mo, but even Tantai Ying were a little puzzled, he was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the food delivered: "I don't know too well, it's strange."

Glancing at these exquisite delicacies, Bai Wangyan frowned slightly, but he turned his head and smiled at the other two: "Master Shaogu, since Tao Mo has a new sword, why don't you try it in the courtyard first?" Hands? It’s not too late to enjoy this delicacy later.”

Bai Wangyan's words fit Tao Mo's wishes.Although he didn't show an extremely excited expression on his face, his heart was already so excited that he couldn't hold it back. He had to hold the sword and go out to fight for three hundred rounds to get excited. As for any food, he had already thrown it away. the back of the head.As soon as Bai Wangyan said this, Tao Mo immediately nodded in agreement, and Tantai Ying naturally followed the wishes of these two distinguished guests, the three of them chatted while walking outside the house, it was a pity that there was no one to enjoy the delicious food on a jade plate.
