Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

When Lin Rufei went back, Fuhua was discussing with Yurui what to have for breakfast tomorrow morning.The two saw Lin Rufei coming in from the door, and before they had time to say hello, they saw the person following him, and both of them were stunned.

"Aren't you surprised?" Lin Rufei joked, "I just went out to eat a cake, and I picked someone up."

"My He family, He Wanxiang, don't know the names of the two girls." He Wanxiang saluted Fuhua Yurui and asked with a smile.

Fuhua said: "My name is Fuhua, her name is Yurui, and she is the young master's maid." As soon as she heard the name He Wanxiang, she guessed that he must have some relationship with the He family, "This young master is from the He family." Who is it?"

"I am the third child of the He family." He Wanxiang said, "He Xieyi is my elder brother."

The He family is well-known, and the most famous among them is He Xieyi, who has already cultivated to the eighth level.It is said that in the year he was born, the iron-gold walnut tree of the He family produced three iron-gold walnuts, each of which was picked by himself in the end. Break through the eight realms.

When it comes to the He family, one person and one thing must be mentioned. He Xieyi is that person, and the iron gold walnut tree is that thing.

It is rumored that this iron-gold walnut tree was planted by Tianjun himself hundreds of years ago, and it bears fruit every few decades. Each time it bears only two or three fruits, all of them are extremely precious.These iron-gold walnuts are very beneficial for practice, but only those who are attracted by the walnut tree can pick them off.Counting the He family's century-old history, the Tiejin walnut has only produced three fruits, and it is these three fruits that have made He Xiyi such an incomparable talent.

Lin Rufei told Fuhua Yurui that He Wanxiang would drop by with them, and the four of them would go together for the rest of the trip.Fuhua smiled and said yes, but Yurui seemed a little embarrassed, probably still thinking about the misunderstanding a few days ago.He Wanxiang didn't force Yurui to speak, he didn't talk too much, and with his tall and strong figure, he always seemed a bit difficult to get along with when he sat there.But after the little things before, Lin Rufei felt that this He Wanxiang was an interesting person.

On the third day, He Wanxiang went to the post station to return his horse, and got into the carriage with Lin Rufei. The carriage was very spacious, and the three of them sat in it without seeming crowded, but Yurui was very nervous. She huddled in the corner and didn't dare to move or speak, like a little mouse meeting a big cat. From time to time, she quietly glanced at He Wanxiang, with a cute and funny expression.

Lin Rufei knew that Yurui had a harsh and introverted temperament, so she didn't make things difficult for his little maid, and casually chatted with He Wanxiang about the He family.

It's just that when He Wanxiang mentioned the He family, he seemed a little hesitant, and there was some hesitation in his words.

Lin Rufei was a little strange, so she asked directly, "Does Mr. He have any unspeakable secrets about the He family?"

He Wanxiang said: "Mr. Lin is really a smart person, in fact... our He family's family style is a bit strange."

strangeness?Xuan Qing had mentioned this matter before, but Lin Rufei didn't take it to heart. Seeing He Wanxiang, she felt that he was very thoughtful in dealing with others, so she couldn't think of anything strange about the He family.

Unexpectedly, when He Wanxiang talked about this, he felt a little embarrassed, and said: "Our He family, because we moved here from the far southwestern border, has a very strong family tradition, and we highly respect force."

Lin Rufei said: "This is... not surprising, is it?"

He Wanxiang rubbed his nose and said, "Well, it's actually not easy to talk about, Mr. Lin will know when he goes."

When he said this, Lin Rufei became curious about what the He family would look like in order for He Wanxiang to show such an expression.

After traveling for two days, the carriage finally arrived at the He family's territory, Qiongcheng.

However, the direct descendants of the He family are not in the city, but outside the city on a towering mountain called Shiren.

It stands to reason that the southern part of Henan is a plain area, at most there are some hills, and this mountain stands there, which looks out of place with the surrounding low terrain.

"This mountain is so strange." Yurui suffocated in the carriage for a few days, and now she finally dared to speak, raised the curtain and blinked her eyes, "It's just a lonely peak..."

"It's strange and normal." He Wanxiang answered, "Because this mountain was moved here."

"Moved here?!" Yu Rui stared, "Who moved here?"

"Tianjun." He Wanxiang smiled and told Yurui about the history of their He family, "The ancestors of the He family were friends of Tianjun. On the day of the wedding, Tianjun moved a mountain from the southwest as a gift. Ancestor, the most powerful thing on this mountain is an iron-gold walnut tree with a lifespan of ten thousand years... My ancestors loved this great gift very much, so they ordered all the descendants of the He family to move to the mountain. Proud to live on the Stone Blade."

"Sent a mountain?" Yu Rui listened fascinated, "Tianjun is too powerful."

He Wanxiang also showed fascination: "Yes, if you can have one-tenth of Tianjun's demeanor, this life will be worth it."

Several people were chatting, and the carriage finally arrived at the foot of Shiren Mountain. Lin Rufei wanted to go to Qiongcheng to repair it first, and then pay a formal visit tomorrow, but He Wanxiang waved his hand, saying that their He family never pays much attention to these things, and directly He came to the door, and let Fu Hua go in directly through the door, saying that with him, no one would dare to embarrass Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei said: "Then please trouble Mr. He."

He Wanxiang nodded: "Mr. Lin just sit in the carriage, and I will handle whatever happens later."

Lin Rufei said hello.

The carriage circled upwards along the mountain road, and soon reached the gate.The guard at the gate reached out to stop the carriage and asked who it was, He Wanxiang lifted the curtain and said, "It's me."

"It turns out that the third son is back!" The guard saluted He Wanxiang when he saw him, and asked, "Why did you come back in a carriage?"

He Wanxiang hummed casually, without elaborating.

The vigil made a gesture, and someone opened the wooden door and let them in.

Through the curtain of the car, Lin Rufei also saw the appearance of the He family. What surprised him was that the He family did not look like a wealthy family at all. At first glance, it looked like a primitive village. Buildings, the houses are either wood or bamboo, not even a stone house can be seen.But what makes Lin Rufei feel the most strange is the He family walking in the village of the He family. They are all tall, with broad eyebrows and deep eyes. in this way.If you entered here by mistake without knowing it, you might feel that you have accidentally entered a den of bandits.

Lin Rufei's stature is actually not too short, but her face is pale and her temperament is weak. If she walks among this group of people, she might really look like a weak Liu Fufeng, not to mention the jade pistil that has not yet reached Lin Rufei's chest. , really like a cute doll.

Seeing the scene outside, the three masters and servants fell silent in a tacit understanding.

He Wanxiang seemed to have expected all of this a long time ago, coughed dryly, and said, "Young Master Lin, don't be too nervous, our He family is actually just born more aggressive."

Just as Lin Rufei was about to speak, the carriage stopped suddenly, and a rough voice came from outside: "He Wanxiang, where the hell did you go to trick such a good-looking girl into being your groom? Excuse me!"

He Wanxiang stuck his head and went out, cursing back unceremoniously: "Put your mother's shit on, I just invited a fairy back, and it has nothing to do with you idiot, don't talk, there are distinguished guests in the car, disturbing you Be careful, big brother will beat you up again."

Lin Rufei saw the man's appearance through the gap. The man's facial features were somewhat similar to He Wanxiang's, but he was actually taller than He Wanxiang's. The muscles on his arms were bulging, like a hard stone. He said: "Guest, what are you? I haven't seen you for a long time, please open my eyes." He wanted to lift the car curtain, but He Wanxiang slapped him on the back of his hand.

There was a loud "snap", and He Wanxiang's palm seemed to hit a hard rock. The man let out a scream, and took his hand back with a groan: "You really hit me!"

He Wanxiang said, "You think I'm joking?"

The man said: "I don't accept it! You get down, I want to fight with you!"

He Wanxiang said: "I don't have time to talk to you, come to me at night if you want to fight." As he spoke, he winked at Fuhua, signaling that she doesn't need to pay attention to this person anymore.

Fu Hua hummed, and the carriage drove out again.

The man watched the carriage go away, squinted his eyes at the same spot, then clicked his tongue, and muttered to himself: "Your guest, you can count the number of guests who can be called a guest in the He family with one hand. It's Kunlun." Is the boss here? He Wanxiang, how is this kid so lucky to be met by him."

Under the guidance of He Wanxiang, Fuhua drove the carriage to a wooden house. This wooden house seemed to be newly repaired and was wider than the next room. He Wanxiang said: "Mr. Lin, this house is my residence. If you don't dislike it these few days, you can live here, and I will go and make do with my brother."

Lin Rufei: "How good is this?" It would be shameful for a guest to drive the owner out of his home.

He Wanxiang waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, you don't know something. In the He family, the least important thing is the house."

Lin Rufei said: "Why did you say that?"

However, He Wanxiang made a fool of himself and said: "You will know after you live in it for a while." After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, "Mr. I'll be with you so there won't be any surprises."

Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Is that an exaggeration?" How could he just say that his family was in chaos.

He Wanxiang said seriously: "It's even more exaggerated than you think."

After that, He Wanxiang and the servants in the house gave a few instructions and left, letting Lin Rufei rest first, and he went to inform the head of the family about Lin Rufei's visit.

Lin Rufei nodded and said yes.

He Wanxiang's residence is very consistent with his own style, simple and rough, with only a few practical furniture in the room, without any decorations, it is even simpler than an inn.What Lin Rufei couldn't understand the most was that the servants serving He Wanxiang were all taller than him. Although they were not as muscular as Wanxiang, they were still described as mighty strong men.

Yu Rui was already somewhat confused by these strong men, she huddled on the chair and muttered where did the He family find all these people, all of them were so big.

Fuhua touched Yurui's head and said, "Yes, who told you that you were born so small, one person is almost equal to three of you."

"I'm not young." Yu Rui immediately raised her head and chest, and showed the saber at her waist, "I'm powerful."

"Yes, yes, my Yu Rui is amazing." Lin Rufei said with a smile.

Yurui said, "My lord, you are laughing at me again."

Lin Rufei spread her hands innocently.

Fuhua couldn't help laughing,

After more than ten days of exhaustion in the carriage, Lin Rufei was a little tired after all, so he asked He Wanxiang's servant to boil some hot water, wanting to take a bath to relieve his fatigue.

It was a hot day, and the water temperature did not need to be too high. The tub filled with water was moved into the house.Lin Rufei was lowering her head to take off her clothes, but just as she took off her coat, she heard a loud noise from outside, as if something had collapsed, and even the ground trembled uncontrollably.

Lin Rufei was taken aback, walked to the window a few steps, opened the curtain and looked up.The sky was full of dust outside the house, accompanied by the sound of fierce fighting and cursing, the two figures entangled back and forth in the sky and the ground, time-sharing and time-sharing, but every time they hit, there was a huge noise.

"My mother's bear, I'll beat you to death, my grandma—" A series of swear words with accents shook the sky, between swords and flints, the two still did not forget to verbalize each other Attack, Lin Rufei was stunned when he heard it. Although he didn't quite understand it, he also knew that it was definitely not a good word. What impressed him the most was that the two cursed a series of swear words without repeating a single word.

"It's amazing." Lin Rufei admired.

"Oh, I haven't seen you for hundreds of years, why do you still look like this?" Gu Xuan didn't know when he appeared next to Lin Rufei, with a sad expression on his face. He glanced at Lin Rufei, but noticed his young master's face With a look of longing, he immediately became vigilant and said, "Little Liu, stop listening, dirty ears."

"Really?" Lin Rufei didn't notice it, he thought this style of play was quite interesting, although it was rude, but it had a unique flavor of Jianghu, "I don't seem to know how to swear..."

Gu Xuandu immediately said: "What's so easy to learn from swearing!"

Lin Rufei said: "Then what if someone scolds me?"

Gu Xuandu gritted his teeth and said, "Draw out the sword and chop off his head directly."

Lin Rufei thought for a while: "Yes."

Only then did Gu Xuandu heaved a sigh of relief, his expression became more gloomy, but what he was thinking of was watching someone learn swear words from the He family hundreds of years ago and speak with gusto. Learned a sentence, but it was enough to give him a headache.This period of history must not repeat itself, Gu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.

It was still dark outside, and it seemed that he couldn't stop for a while. Lin Rufei wanted to continue watching, but Gu Xuandu urged him to take a bath, saying that if he didn't take a bath, the water would be cold, and he would easily catch a cold.

Lin Rufei had no choice but to put down the curtains, and reluctantly went to take a bath. During this period, Gu Xuan deliberately chatted with Lin Rufei to delay the time.

When Lin Rufei opened the curtains again, she finally understood why the He family was all made of wooden houses. The neatly arranged wooden houses that were just in front of her eyes had been reduced to ruins by the aftermath of the fight. .But the people around were all familiar with this scene, and they were still doing their own business, without even giving a single extra look.And the two who were still fighting just now were sitting on the ground out of breath at this time, and they didn't move any more. They just opened their mouths to ruthlessly insult each other, and from time to time they picked up broken stones from the ground and threw them over. He is not very old, and he still looks like a teenager, but he seems to be very skilled in fighting and quarreling, and he doesn't know how many times he has fought.

After a while, a tall woman came outside, grabbed a boy by the ear with one hand, and carried the two of them back, still swearing, the boy who was beaten in the dark just now was carried by the woman, Like a chicken cub, he dared not resist.

Lin Rufei watched with relish.

However, Gu Xuandu let out a long sigh, showing a very headache expression. He realized that it was not a good thing that the time had passed for too long. All the old people were covered with a layer of beautiful gauze by memories, and he actually forgot about the bad habit of the He family. ……well……

After Lin Rufei came out of the bathroom, she saw Fuhua and Yurui sitting by the window in shock, obviously shocked by the scene just now.Seeing him come out, he withdrew his gaze.

"What are they scolding, why can't I understand?" Yurui murmured, "It seems that I know every word, and when they are connected together, I don't know what it means..."

Fuhua calmly said: "It's definitely not a good word, good kids don't learn it."

Yurui said: "But it's quite imposing."

Fuhua was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The three of them were very interested in this, and they just started discussing it like this. When the discussion got heated, He Wanxiang suddenly appeared outside the door, but with a slightly strange expression on his face, he said, "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, talking about what they said." Lin Rufei said with a smile, "Is this your local language? It's funny."

He Wanxiang showed helplessness, saying that Mr. Lin should not be offended, they are used to it.When I was in Xijiang, there were not so many swear words. Later, when I came to the Central Plains, I learned a lot from the locals. Now the content of swearing is even richer. no success.

Lin Rufei waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.

"I have already told my elder brother and father about Mr. Lin." He Wanxiang said, "They also blamed me for not informing the family earlier, saying that they would invite Mr. Lin to a banquet tonight."

"Okay." Lin Rufei nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Young Master Lin, you are being polite." He Wanxiang said.

It was still early in the evening, He Wanxiang saw that Lin Rufei was fine, so he took the three of them out to have a look around, but the three of them were walking in the Hejiabao, no matter how they looked, they were out of place with the surroundings.When Lin Rufei came in in the carriage, she didn't feel it. Walking outside, looking at the strong men who were eight feet tall, Lin Rufei seemed to have entered the kingdom of giants.The most amazing thing is that the women are not short, and all of them have a vigorous figure, almost as tall as Lin Rufei.Seeing Lin Rufei's surprised expression, He Wanxiang explained with a smile that the He family's physique is genetic, and secondly, it has something to do with the exercises they practiced.The people living in this Hejiabao are all direct disciples, so almost all of them have practiced this kind of kung fu, and only then can they have the scene in front of them.

Yu Rui was very fascinated when she heard it, saying that there are such powerful exercises in the world, she is already fifteen years old, and she has never grown in size...

He Wanxiang curled his mouth when he heard this, reached out and pressed Yu Rui's head lightly, and when Yu Rui looked over in a daze, he said seriously: "If you want to practice, I can teach you."

"Really?" Yu Rui was surprised, "But I'm not from the He family..."

"It's okay." He Wanxiang said, "This is just a basic exercise. However, you are already fifteen. I'm afraid that if you practice it now, the effect may not be very good."

Yurui compared the top of her head with her hands, and found that she had to stand on tiptoe to reach He Wanxiang's chest, she was extremely discouraged, and said with her head drooping, "Why am I so short?"

Fuhua smiled and said: "Who told you to be picky about what you eat, even more picky than the young master."

Yu Rui said: "But, but..."

Seeing her aggrieved look, Lin Rufei couldn't help pinching her cheek, and said: "Okay, let Fuhua make you more bone soup next time, don't be afraid, just drink more. "

While the few people were talking, Lin Rufei noticed a special building in the middle of Hejiabao. The building was incompatible with the surrounding wooden houses. It was a brick and tile structure. From the outside, it seemed to be an ancestral hall.It's just that there are many guards in heavy armor standing near the ancestral hall, and the atmosphere is very different from the surroundings.

"That's the He family's ancestral hall." He Wanxiang explained to Lin Rufei, "The He family's iron-gold walnut book is planted in the ancestral hall. It's all right now, Mr. Lin, do you want to go and have a look?"

Lin Rufei said: "Is it possible? Will it be inconvenient?" Through He Wanxiang's description, he also heard the status of the iron gold walnut tree in the He family, although he was also very curious about what the walnut tree produced Appearance, but I always feel that it is not appropriate to go to see such a precious treasure.

"It's okay." He Wanxiang raised his chin slightly and said, "There is no one in this world who can take the walnut tree away from the He family. Besides, Mr. Lin is a distinguished guest of our He family. When your brother travels, he is my elder brother." Receptionist, he has also seen that iron-gold walnut tree." His tone was light, but Lin Rufei naturally heard the strong self-confidence contained in it, and it was also true that the generation of the He family was particularly competitive, and they had an eight-level cultivator. What's the reason, there are really not many people who dare to mess with their family.

When they arrived at the gate of the ancestral hall, the guards saw He Wanxiang and let them in.

After entering the ancestral hall, Lin Rufei saw the neatly arranged tablets of the He family, as well as the very tidy incense burner.He Wanxiang asked Lin Rufei to wait for a while, then he took out three incense sticks and lit them to pay homage to the ancestors.Then he stood up and explained to Lin Rufei that this was their rule, to see the Tiejin walnut tree, one must first worship the ancestors and thank them for their shelter.

After the worship, He Wanxiang led Lin Rufei to the backyard of the ancestral hall. He said that the iron-gold walnut tree grew inside.

Lin Rufei followed behind He Wanxiang, passed through several doors, and finally arrived at the backyard. The backyard was very wide, surrounded by gray brick walls, and the entire yard was empty, except for a tree growing in the center of the yard. Look at the plain green trees.This green tree is not too tall, and the trunk is only as thick as an adult's arm. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary walnut tree, but if you look closely, you will find a layer of faint golden threads spreading on the trunk. The roots extend upwards, covering every branch, as if they are shining.

He Wanxiang said: "This iron-gold walnut tree is also called the Shujiu tree, because it takes decades to bear fruit each time. For it, it is just a moment, but for us, it is a lifetime. This year is a good year. , This walnut tree gave birth to six iron-gold walnuts. When we worship our ancestors next year, our generation of disciples can try to pick them off. My elder brother said that if we are lucky, our He family will produce the second What a freehand brushwork."

Lin Rufei saw the iron-gold walnut that He Wanxiang said in the hidden bushes. The walnut was not big, but the color was very beautiful. Under the sunlight, it showed a pure golden color, just like the walnut in the sky. The golden sun.

But for some unknown reason, when Lin Rufei saw this walnut tree, she felt a familiar feeling, as if...he had seen this tree somewhere before.

Immediately Lin Rufei felt that he was thinking too much. He had been on Kunlun for more than 20 years, how could he see the Shuyu tree thousands of miles away.

The author has something to say:

Lin Rufei: Chicken break

Gu Xuandu: Hey, children are not allowed to swear

Lin Rufei: Crack the chicken!

Gu Xuandu: Children can't be called dirty! !

Lin Rufei: Chicken break~~

Gu Xuandu: ...

He Wanxiang: What the hell are you stabbing me for!
