Meditation incense rises from the Boshan stove and gradually thins out, spreading an elegant smell in the quiet elegant room.Qin, chess, calligraphy and ink are displayed on the book case; gold and stone calligraphy and painting are arranged in the museum shelf...

Scholars pay attention to people; Confucian monks are a bit more elegant and refined than other sects even when they are away from home.

grunt.

It was the water boiling on the red clay stove.

"Are you used to drinking Junshan tea?" Shen Liuyun asked before making tea.

Pei Yuyan nodded slightly: "Yes."

With a flick of Shen Liuyun's hand, the tea set automatically boiled the pot to make tea under the control of spells. During the interval, he talked to Pei Yuyan: "This is the first time that City Lord Pei and Shen have met."

"Ah."

"Ms. Shen has heard about the deeds of the city lord 'Yijian Zhen Beiyu' for a long time. He has been admiring him for a long time, and now he is finally lucky to see it."

In the past, the Northern Territory was very chaotic, bandits in the south were in chaos, ice beasts were rampant in the north, and people's livelihood was difficult.

And Tianze City, which guards the northern border, is said to be a sect, but it is actually more like a declining family.Mrs. Ruixin is in poor health, and the Young City Lord is young, orphaned and widowed. He has more than enough heart but not enough strength, so he can't solve these scourges at all.

The natural environment is inherently harsh, coupled with the extremely poor social security, the civilians in the northern border could not bear it and gradually moved away.The number of people is decreasing year by year, and finally only a part of the old people who are hard to leave their homeland are still sticking to it.

That year, Pei Yuyan was 13 years old and had just entered the Golden Core stage. Tianze City received a complaint, and a family living in Fenghuo County was wiped out.A family of three, an old man and two children.The children are ten years old and the other seven years old.

The perpetrator was a "passer-by" who stayed at this family's house the night before, and left after killing the man.

The murderer may be a villain who fled here from other places. He has no contacts in the northern border, and his identity cannot be investigated.And the only clues left at the scene were a few unrecognizable sword marks with the aura of the Nascent Soul.

This case is difficult to investigate and dangerous.

But on the other hand, due to long-term inaction, the prestige of the "Lord of the Northern Territory" is constantly declining, and the people no longer place their hopes on their patrons when encountering problems. This is what Tianze City has received in the past two years. The only complaint.

However, compared to the declining family and the lives of the common people, the old steward cared more about the safety of the young city lord.

His young city lord is only a 13-year-old boy, like a wicker that has just been pulled out in early spring, delicate and fragile, how can he go to fight with the most vicious gangsters.

Therefore, his suggestion to Pei Yuyan, who was new to the affairs of Tianze City, was: Do your best, obey the destiny, and be a city lord with a thousand pieces of gold, and never put yourself in danger.

Pei Yuyan didn't answer him, and thought about it all night alone, and left the next morning with his sword in the dark, and went to March.

In the past three months, he went deep into the snowfield for more than 1000 miles, found the murderer, and beheaded him by the sword.

When everyone felt that something happened to the young city lord, and mourning for him, Pei Yuyan came back, hung the head of the bandit on the tower, and made an oath: from now on, anyone who causes disasters in the northern border will be killed without mercy.

For more than 200 years since then, he has kept his oath and never let the northern border leave an unresolved grievance.

The northern border has changed from a paradise where criminals from all over the world hid in the past to a "execution ground" they can't avoid, and Tianze City also has an absolute authority in the northern border that was unmatched in previous dynasties.

The "Northern Lord" deserves its name, and all people admire it.

Shen Liuyun and Nie Qingxuan belonged to the same generation, they were more than seven hundred years old, and they were figures like Mount Tai and Big Dipper in the righteous way of cultivating the world.Although Pei Yuyan's actions were extraordinary, they were not worthy of his compliments, and now he said it specifically as a sign of friendship.

Shen Liuyun sighed: "It's a pity that Shen can't see, and can't see the face of City Lord Pei. I don't know if City Lord Pei is willing to let Shen touch his bones?"

His eyes are completely blind, and his ability to move freely and live a normal life depends on his extraordinary perception and sensitive consciousness.

If you meet a junior, it doesn't matter if he uses his spiritual sense to "touch" people inside and out, as strength and status are here, they dare not have any objections.But this kind of behavior is not acceptable for people of the same cultivation level and status. The spiritual sense is too intrusive to privacy and too offensive.

At this time, only the senses can be used.

However, Shen Liuyun didn't want to reach out to touch someone when he met one. He didn't have a habit of touching people. He was willing to touch people because he really wanted to make friends with this person.

Pei Yuyan received Shen Liuyun's overtures, but still couldn't accept the stranger's touch.

After hesitating for a moment, he handed over the Xuexue sword.

To a sword cultivator, the sword is himself, if Shen Liuyun can understand his sword, then he will almost understand him.

A cold and hard object fell into his hand, and Shen Liuyun was stunned for a moment before realizing what it was.He smiled slightly, and didn't mind, he held Caixue in both hands, and "observed" carefully.

He gave his first impression when he got it: "This is a very restrained sword."

As the pinnacle of sword repair, the natal spirit sword has a peaceful and docile aura. It is stained with so much blood but does not show any hostility. It has excellent sword nature and excellent heart.

He tentatively drew his sword.With sword cultivators at this level, their natal spirit swords can only be wielded by their masters.But Pei Yuyan agreed before, so Shen Liuyun pulled it out easily.

The blade of the sword was first exposed, and a gust of cold air swayed in the elegant room.

Shen Liuyun reached out to touch the blade of the sword, but just brushed against the direction of the blade, and his fingertip was cut.Blood beads like red coral beads instantly condensed on the smooth skin, dripping down the knuckles.The dripping blood dissipated and evaporated in the air, but failed to fall onto Confucian cultivator's green shirt.

——Although the sword is restrained, it still hides its edge.

The blood from the wound stopped in the blink of an eye, and Shen Liuyun didn't care.He stopped pulling it out and put the sword back into its sheath.It wasn't until the last bit of the blade was swallowed by the scabbard that the chill that lingered in the room dissipated.

Returning the sword, he asked, "Does City Lord Pei still practice the way of ruthlessness?"

return?

Pei Yuyan was puzzled.

He has never cultivated the way of ruthlessness, so how did he "repay" it?

However, Pei Yuyan's strength has advanced too fast in the past few years, and his temperament has become more and more indifferent, and he has become more and more reticent. Many people in the outside world do believe that he has cultivated the way of ruthlessness.This is not the case, and there are other reasons for this.

Pei Yuyan only thought that he had misunderstood the rumors from outside, and didn't care about it, so he just replied, "I don't want to fix it."

Shen Liuyun smiled lightly, and sighed: "It's pretty good, there's nothing to cultivate in the way of ruthlessness."

Pei Yuyan was slightly taken aback, this was the first person other than Nie Qingxuan to say that he was not good at cultivating ruthlessness.However, he had never been curious about strangers, so he did not pursue the reason why Shen Liuyun said this.

Putting aside those polite words, he went straight to the point: "What is Shen Yuan mainly talking about Qingya with me?"

When Shen Liuyun sent someone to invite Pei Yuyan, he meant to ask him to talk to Li Qingya.

Shen Liuyun was stunned: "Oh, that's right. Zen Master Jingxu and the others had some complaints about Qingya letting go of the Yaohuang, hoping to punish him as a warning to others. But don't worry, City Lord Pei, I have appeased them. Afterwards The disposal of Qingya will definitely be approved by Taiyi Xianzong."

He didn't mean to pursue it, except for his love, even if he knew it would be useless to pursue it.Nie Qingxuan was determined to protect his precious apprentice.And if Daoist Heng Jun was a man of good manners, Xiujie wouldn't be "disgusted by talking about it".

He sighed: "Qing Ya is indeed too nonsense this time."

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuyan sternly corrected: "Qingya doesn't mess around."

He is a sensible child, so there must be a reason for him to do that.

Shen Liuyun: "..."

I didn't expect that a sigh would attract Pei Yuyan's serious rebuttal, and he couldn't tolerate others saying that his nephew was not good.

As a scholar, he has a fairly good temper, and he took the initiative to back down: "Sorry, it was Shen who made a slip of the tongue."

Pei Yuyan just corrected his statement, and didn't mean to blame him.Seeing that the matter was finished, he didn't want to stay for a long time: "If there is nothing else, Pei will leave."

Shen Liuyun called him to stop: "This Junshan tea is just excellent, please stay and taste the Lord Pei."

As he spoke, he lifted his fingers slightly, and the purple sand teapot flew up, pouring a cup for Pei Yuyan.The clear tea collides with the translucent white porcelain, and an elegant tea fragrance diffuses.

The tea was poured, so Pei Yuyan had to sit for a while.

Shen Liuyun took the initiative to start talking: "What does City Lord Pei do on weekdays?"

"Practice the sword, meditate, and comprehend."

"I heard that City Lord Pei's swordsmanship is inherited from Lingfu Tianxuan Sword Master, and it is characterized by sharpness and decisiveness. Especially 'One Sword Frost and Cold' is the best. Every move will destroy the enemy, and the sword will kill. Is it right?"

"No."

Shen Liuyun made a mistake on purpose, waiting for the right lord to correct him, but he didn't expect that there would be no words for him.He waited for a while, and seeing that Pei Yuyan really didn't want to continue talking, he could only ask himself:

"Is it wrong? That's Mr. Shen's ignorance, and I hope City Lord Pei will explain it in detail."

"The same root has different branches; I am different from him."

Tianxuan Jianzun pays attention to keeping three points in the sword, leaving a glimmer of life in the three thousand swordsmanship; while Pei Yuyan is characterized by being cautious when using the sword, and will kill when the sword falls, with three points of benevolence, but he also eliminates evil.

Shen Liuyun also knew the difference during this period. He didn't say that he was deliberately talking about Pei Yuyan, but he didn't expect that the mouth of the "Lord of the Northern Territory" seemed to be sealed, and there were no more than ten words in one sentence.

A well-born Jianxin, how did he develop a saw-mouthed gourd?

In desperation, he had no choice but to change the subject: "Can City Lord Pei study?"

Since he can't start the conversation with the kendo that the opponent is good at, then start with his favorite book. Although there is suspicion of showing off, but in this way, even if the opponent doesn't talk much, he can continue to speak with his own knowledge reserve, so as not to Cold field.

Pei Yuyan: "Read."

Tianze City is a big family, although it is not said to be a scholarly family, but they are also well-versed in etiquette.

"What kind of books do you read?" Shen Liuyun didn't believe in evil, and this dull gourd could give him eleven words in the title of the book.

Pei Yuyan has lived for nearly 300 years, and he has read a lot of scattered books even if they don't include cheat books, so he can't finish it all at once.However, in the past 20 years, he has been busy improving his cultivation, and he hardly touches books. The most recent one he read is——

"What Teenagers Think, What Young Boys Like, How to Please Young People."

When reporting the titles of these books, Pei Yuyan was still serious and dignified, as if he was reading a sword manual worthy of careful study.

Shen Liuyun "..."

He didn't know how to make an evaluation, and after a moment of silence, he squeezed out a sentence: "The tea is getting cold, Lord Pei can go back after drinking this cup."

The difference in taste in books is a difference in soul, and he shouldn't force himself to make this friend.

……

On the other end, Yu Lingheng's room.

Li Qingya thought about meeting Du Xingzhou, but he didn't expect to be so caught off guard. By the time he realized it, he was already in Du Xingzhou's arms.

The layered robes are soft and thin, and they are made of merman silk from the coast of the East China Sea, and the refreshing orchid wood fragrance is the thousand-year-old orchid osmanthus produced in Dongyao Mountain.What you touch and smell are the touch and taste in your memory.

He raised his arms and hugged Du Xingzhou back, full of the joy of reunion: "Eldest brother!"

Du Xingzhou was not as light as he was. He suppressed his excitement and asked, "Why didn't you come to see me when you came back?"

Obviously came back, but only sent such a message.

——Well, don't read.

If I can't see him, how could he not read it?

For the past two days, he was restless, and his heart seemed to be burning with fire.He felt that Li Qingya had returned, but he was also afraid that this was just a figment of the imagination like in the past.

He had looked forward to it too many times over the years and was disappointed too many times.

"I wanted to see Senior Brother, but something delayed me." He didn't dare to tell Du Xingzhou because he was afraid of bringing trouble back to the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and this was just to make him worry and blame himself.

Du Xingzhou choked with sobs: "Stop doing this again."

Similar words have been said thousands of times, but Li Qingya just doesn't listen.He didn't know that when he was injured at 01:30, someone would feel sorry for him.

He lowered his head, buried his face into Li Qingya's neck, and murmured helplessly: "If there is another time, I will go crazy."

He once thought that Li Qingya would never come back again.

His shoulders trembled slightly, both with joy and fear.

Li Qingya didn't expect to hear such words, and was stunned for a moment.Eldest brother is warm, omnipotent, and considerate in every way, never expecting him to say such flimsy words.

Suddenly, he felt a little warmth and dampness on his neck, which was very rare, but was still captured by his keen five senses.

Senior brother, are you crying?

Qingfenglangyue's elder brother... cried for him...?

A strange emotion surged from Li Qingya's heart, sour and swollen.He embraced Du Xingzhou, and apologized with distress and guilt: "I'm sorry, I made senior brother worry. I'm sorry."

Du Xingzhou's body froze for a moment, and then he hugged the person in his arms even tighter.

Feeling that he was being neglected, Yu Lingheng couldn't help but make some movement to remind the two Wangqing brothers to pay attention to the occasion: "cough cough...cough cough..."

Li Qingya glanced at him: "Master Yufeng, do you have a cold?"

Yu Lingheng: ...

I hope you care about the empty nesters.

……

The edge of Taiyi Xianzong's territory.

The peach blossoms are like smoke, and the fireworks are like the sea.Dingdong's flowing spring rolls the falling petals and happily passes through the pebbles, rushing away.

Suddenly, the peach blossom was blocked by someone, and the water slipped away through the gap between the fingers.The hand submerged in water has distinct joints, revealing the texture of white porcelain, faintly revealing a bit of inorganic transparency.

The masked man in a silver-gray gown scooped up the peach blossoms.

He has a slender figure, silver hair like a waterfall, and a strange face, but his breath seems familiar.

Almost at the same time as the man appeared, thunderclouds billowed and the wind blew violently.In the blink of an eye, a thick cloud of calamity that had never been seen before accumulated on his head, with the potential to overwhelm mountains and seas.

The man was not afraid, and stared at the cloud of calamity indifferently and contemptuously, letting the frantic wind blow his robe.

The tribulation thunder fell quickly, and the silvery purple brilliance was not like ordinary thunder, but the thunder of heaven's punishment that had accumulated the power of law.

After several earth-shattering noises, the man on the bank of the stream disappeared, leaving only a pile of ashes that looked like burnt wood and a peach blossom with water droplets on the ashes.

Inside the field, Nie Qingxuan raised his right hand.Because the puppet incarnation was destroyed by the sky thunder, part of his index finger and middle finger were missing, and the wound was once scorched black. The defect was recovering at a visible speed, but it was obviously much slower than the wound left by other methods.

Daoist Heng Jun was speechless and complained:

"It's really... holding a grudge."

The author has something to say: Li Qingya: I made a mistake, and I will do it again next time.

Nie Qingxuan: I'm not wrong, next time it will be more troublesome.

——Worthy of being a master and apprentice.
