[Ancient Sword OL] Acacia Wood

?Compared to the luxurious appearance of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yanling's private inner hall is much more simple.

There is no decoration in the inner hall, and even the calligraphy and paintings do not bother to hang one.On the rosewood table is an emerald jade tea tray with a little green light, and the surface of the tray is full of delicately carved butterflies, which are lifelike.

There are six exquisite teacups on the tea tray, which look a bit plain against the background of the tea tray, but when boiling water is poured into the cup, the inscription lines appear indistinctly on the side of the teacup, and as the tea is filled, it appears. Make a "wonderful" word.

"Wonderful, it really is wonderful." Jiang Yanling sat in the living room, holding a shell and sitting on his lap.This is his habit. Since he has long regarded Bei Ke as the next head of the Jiang family, he is willing to hold Bei Ke to deal with all matters big or small. Therefore, although Bei Ke is still a naive child, when Jiang Yanling is not at home, he can also temporarily support him. The operation of Jiangfu.

"Really!" Shell smiled happily, full of joy: "It took me a month to open up the cup to make a hollow, once water is poured in, it will fill the hollow and reveal the words!" She peeked Mr. Xia Miao obviously wants to be praised by this teacher.

Jiang Yanling had already seen through Bei Ke's thoughts, and turned his gaze to Mr. Miao: "Although it is a child's toy, it is also interesting. What do you think, Brother Miao?"

Mr. Miao was noncommittal, nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Shell: "How many jade cups have you broken?"

Shell froze for a moment, stuck out his tongue, and said embarrassedly, "43."

43 jade cups... if replaced with gold, it may be enough for 43 families to spend for 43 days. Only the young master of the Jiang family can afford such a "toy".

Mr. Miao nodded, and looked at Shell again: "How many cuts are there on your hands?"

Bei Ke shrunk her head and was about to be scolded, but Mr. Miao's sudden question made her startled.Shell looked at his pink and tender hands, the small cuts on his fingers had already healed and no traces could be seen: "Three... no, it's four, but it wasn't cut by a knife when carving the cup, but carved by anger. Not good... when the cup was thrown, it was scratched by the fragments of the cup."

"Be careful in the future, don't hurt yourself." Mr. Miao picked up the cup of "Miao" teacup and took a sip: "Perseverance, never give up when you fail, you can endure and endure hardships, it seems that you have grown up a bit. "

Bei Ke nodded obediently, and then looked at Mr. Miao blankly: "Master, don't you scold me?"

"What do you scold you for?"

"Call me for being clumsy, wasting things... losing my temper and throwing things..."

"You know you are wrong, why should I scold you?"

"..." Bei Ke jumped up and buried her head in Jiang Yanling's arms, with a satisfied expression on her face.Then she caught a glimpse of Le Gexiao sitting nearby who was at a loss, and snorted, "What are you doing here?"

Le Ge smiled wryly, and thought, "I still want to ask."

Jiang Yanling greeted Qingkong and Yueli just now, they looked quite familiar, and then let the two go about their own affairs.He himself was brought into the hall, but as soon as he arrived in the hall, Shell took out this tea set like offering a treasure, attracting everyone's attention.Until now, Bei Ke had no time to discover his existence, but he actually asked himself what he was doing here... He was dragged in, so how could he know what these two hidden seniors wanted to do!

"Sheike, don't be rude." Jiang Yanling's voice sank, without getting angry.

The Jiang family was originally a well-known family. Now that Jiang Yanling is the leader of the Jiangnan business community, the nobility accumulated over several generations is indeed quite stressful.Shopping malls are like battlefields, and Jiang Yanling has acquired a bit of killing spirit like a general on the battlefield in handling various affairs in the past ten years.Once Jiang Yanling became serious, this kind of aura involuntarily leaked out, and invisibly, it brought a lot of pressure to people.

Hearing the sound, Bei Ke stuck out her tongue, slipped out of Jiang Yanling's embrace, and hid behind Mr. Miao's chair.

Mr. Miao looked at Le Ge and smiled approvingly: "My heart is like a clear mirror, without any surprise or fear. I haven't seen you for a few days. It seems that Le Shaoxia's cultivation has improved a bit."

Le Ge was taken aback with a smile, with an apologetic expression on his face, and said frankly, "I don't understand what Mr. said."

Jiang Yanling looked at it for a while, smiling as usual, and couldn't help but nodded approvingly: "It's really good."

He has seen many wealthy and famous merchants keep silent in front of him, and he has also seen ministers in court and China flattering him endlessly.It is really rare for Le Gexiao to be so natural and unpretentious.

Le Gexiao still didn't understand at all, so he didn't even ask.

"Body protection?" Mr. Miao asked with a smile while holding a cup of tea.

Le Gexiao finally came to his senses, nodded again and again, then shook his head again.

Bei Ke looked surprised from the side, and couldn't help but popped out from behind the chair: "What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head...?"

"I understand that my state is probably the body-protecting zhenqi, but I don't know how to use it, and... I don't know why I have the body-protecting zhenqi for no reason."

Mr. Miao nodded and said softly, "Can I have a try?"

Le Gexiao instantly understood what Mr. Miao meant. He wanted to test his body-protecting zhenqi. He nodded immediately, stood up and took a few steps back, stopping at irregular intervals, indicating that Mr. Miao could start.

Mr. Miao raised his sleeves, rolled up the small walnut-cracking hammer on the table, and threw the hammer at Le Gexiao as a hidden weapon.With a smile on his face, Le Ge didn't dodge or dodge, letting the hammer hit his head.

Boom!

Le Gexiao's head was hit hard, and he fainted instantly.

"..." Jiang Yanling and Mr. Miao looked at each other, not knowing what to say.But Bei Ke was overjoyed and laughed, "This is the second time he's passed out today..."

Le Gexiao was knocked unconscious on the ground, which was completely beyond the two's expectations, but Mr. Miao caught some traces: "This may not be pure body-protecting qi."

"What is that?" Jiang Yanling asked curiously.

"I'm afraid it's mixed with the sword spirit's body-protecting true energy."

"Sword Spirit?"

"Well, it's probably the sword spirit attached to the Legexiao Saber." Mr. Miao frowned and thought, as if recalling an ancient book he had read before: "It may also be the sword spirit created by himself."

"Can you create a sword spirit yourself?"

"Yanshi can create a Yanjia with its own life, and a swordsman can naturally create a sword spirit with self-consciousness." Mr. Miao looked at Le Ge and smiled faintly: "Although I don't know how he did it, it must be It's also an adventure." He paused, and continued: "The sword spirit body guard does not move with Ge Xiao's consciousness, when Ge Xiao intentionally mobilized the 'body guard true energy', the sword spirit fell into a deep sleep instead The previous few sword spirit protections were all out of the sword spirit's instinct—that is to say, the sword spirit was protecting Gexiao on its own."

Bei Ke was fascinated when he heard it: "Why did the sword spirit do this?"

"Probably to protect the sword master."

"Then why doesn't the sword spirit listen to the song and laugh?"

"..." Mr. Miao smiled wryly: "So, the sword spirit is not convinced by Gexiao, and protects Gexiao's innocent self from being harmed by the parasitic boy Gexiao."

Bei Ke took a sympathetic look at Ge Xiao: "Ge Xiao is so pitiful..."

"What's so pitiful?" Jiang Yanling laughed loudly: "This kid has such an adventure, it can be said that he has one more life than others, and his cultivation can save him ten years of detours." He paused and looked at Mr. Miao: "By the way, you fought monsters on the lake a few days ago, did you find anything?"

Jiang Yanling didn't ask Mr. Miao how the result was, because the Jiang family was so powerful that someone had already reported the ins and outs of the incident clearly, so asking such a question would be tantamount to underestimating himself.Jiang Yanling didn't ask Mr. Miao if he was injured, because he firmly believed in Mr. Miao's ability and there was no problem that he couldn't handle.Speaking is an art, especially for people in positions of power...even in front of your lifelong friends.

Mr. Miao shook his head lightly: "Jiangdu City is heavily guarded, but the lake outside the river and sea is hard to guard against. Monster beasts sneak into Jiangdu from the bottom of the lake, making the outer protection meaningless." He smiled wryly, and said lightly: "This time, I became an accomplice—because people in Jiangdu favored me, I got a bit of a reputation, and as a result, the small building in the center of the lake became a forbidden area...Jiangdu city guards and disciples of various sects were afraid of offending me, so they didn't dare to come and search , In this way, the small building in the center of the lake has become a shield for monsters."

"However, you are in the small building in the center of the lake, so you don't need them to check it." Jiang Yanling smiled, then frowned, and sighed: "You have been obsessed with Yanjia research these days, so it's inconvenient to be distracted, so I need to send someone over there ?"

"The Yanjia on the small building in the middle of the lake is capable of defending against foreign enemies, but it is not yet capable of finding enemies on its own." Mr. Miao pondered for a while, and said lightly: "So, you might as well come forward and invite the strange people in Jiangdu City, Let's work together to find the monsters hidden near the small building in the middle of the lake."

"If this happens, it will disturb your cleanliness." Jiang Yanling was noncommittal, and glanced at Mr. Miao: "If someone with a heart wants to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and sneak into your small building in the middle of the lake...it would be an annoying thing."

"Old friend, don't worry, Miao can boast about it - my small building in the middle of the lake is much safer than your Jiangfu."

"That's right, Yanjia doesn't need to sleep."

The two people who are famous in Jiangdu looked at each other and smiled, they already understood each other's plan.

Beike didn't understand very well, but seeing the two people laughing, they understood that the matter was over.At this moment, she bounced over and tugged at the sleeves of the two adults, pointing at Le Ge who was unconscious on the ground obediently and smiling: "Then...then what should he do?"

Mr. Miao and Jiang Yanling looked at each other in dismay. They chatted happily, but forgot about the future number one master of Mount Taihua.Mr. Miao shook his head with a smile: "In that case, leave it to me."

After the dinner, the night gradually became quiet.

The atmosphere of Jiangfu's dinner party was extremely active, and even the serious Qing Kong relaxed a lot.Le Gexiao was originally quite ashamed of being knocked unconscious in the afternoon, but when he thought that it was Mr. Miao who knocked him unconscious, he was relieved a lot.Before and after the dinner, Mr. Miao showed no secrets, and explained to him about his current physical condition and sword spirit in detail, which made Le Gexiao very excited and eager to experience the subtlety immediately.

Finally, when the dinner party was over, the itchy Le Gexiao closed the door of the guest room.He crossed his legs on the bed, looked at his nose with his eyes, and watched his heart with his nose. Following Mr. Miao's teachings, he restrained his mind, sank the sea of ​​consciousness deep into his body, and searched for the trace of the sword spirit.

As early as that day when he was in the wooden ball in the center of the lake, he had already experienced the ability of "soul wandering outside the body" in the state of turtle's breath, and now he entered the state of meditation again, visiting his own body.He had the support of Baicao Valley's secret medicine before, so he didn't feel anything, but now he used his own consciousness to move his true energy, and the huge consumption of true energy still made him feel powerless.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Le Gexiao's true energy was almost exhausted. At this moment, a crack broke through his sea of ​​consciousness like a thick ice surface, and then there was a clear rhythm of life, like spring water It came to my heart like a spurt.

Le Gexiao was overwhelmed with surprise, and couldn't wait to ask questions in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"You...you are my sword spirit?"

The sword spirit was silent for a while, and finally said the first word to the sword master Le Ge with a smile——

"roll."

Le Ge laughed and vomited blood. It wasn't that he had consumed too much qi and caused internal injuries, but... was simply pissed off. ?
