That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 183 The East Lake Courtyard Appreciates the Teacher's Wife

On the fifth day of June, Xu Beiyou lay in bed without sleeping all night.

In the early morning of the sixth day of June, Xu Beiyou got up on time. According to the old habit, he first sat cross-legged facing the rising sun to practice Qi, and then he practiced Sword 29. At about Chen Shi, Zhang Wubing came to Xu Beiyou's side and said softly: "Their people Here we go, let's go."

Xu Beiyou slowly withdrew his Qi machine, looked around, and nodded.

The person who came was Mrs. Luo who came to invite Xu Beiyou that day, but today she was even more grand, dressed in black and red, dignified and revealing majesty.After she asked the two to board the carriage, she got into another carriage, and the two carriages left Xie Garden slowly one after the other.

As Qin Mumian's confidant, Mrs. Luo's status is similar to that of a big butler in a high-ranking family. She is humble but powerful. Even Qin Mumian's disciples dare not underestimate her. She naturally knows many secrets that are difficult for others to know.

Before coming this time, Qin Mumian finally revealed Xu Beiyou's true identity to her, which made her feel a little complicated.That young man was not the son of the Imperial Capital family she had guessed, but a disciple of Gongsun Zhongmou. He vaguely remembered that Murong Xuanyin was persuaded to retreat by Gongsun Zhongmou the last time he entered Jiangdu. Charisma, but now that Gongsun Zhongmou is dead, this young man who is not yet mature, can he bear the burden of Jiangdu?

Mrs. Luo doesn't think that Xu Beiyou can be compared with Gongsun Zhongmou. The gap between the two is as long as a year, and it is difficult for even the legendary exiled immortal to cross it in a short time.

After an hour-long tortuous journey, he finally came to the East Lake Courtyard located outside Jiangdu City. This was the first time Xu Beiyou came to the East Lake Courtyard. Compared with the East Lake Bieyuan, Xu Beiyou didn't show his surprise, and kept a calm and calm posture.

Compared with Xu Beiyou, Zhang Wubing's demeanor has much more sighs and emotions, and occasionally reveals the color of nostalgia, he doesn't try to hide it, but walks side by side with Xu Beiyou in silence.

Qin Mumian, Zhang Xueyao, and Tang Shengyue were all sitting in the main hall waiting. Except for Qin Mumian, there was no one behind them. There was also a woman standing behind Zhang Xueyao and Tang Shengyue. The woman standing behind Zhang Xueyao looked very young. Her name is Li Qinglian, and she is Zhang Xueyao's only direct disciple. According to the fact that Xu Beiyou was accepted as a disciple by Gongsun Zhongmou in the tenth year of Taiping, she should be Xu Beiyou's fellow apprentice.

Although they are brothers and sisters in name, today is the first meeting between the two, and Li Qinglian's face is not very good-looking. If it is not from the master's instruction, she will not come to see this so-called senior brother.She didn't understand why this senior brother who came out of nowhere should be superior to her, and she didn't understand why the master handed over the Jianzong's foundation to this person.

If this guy is a banished immortal like Qi Xianyun or Xiao Yuanying, that's fine, at least he can convince her somewhat, but this guy is nothing more than a ghost in the realm of immortality.

Is the realm of ghosts and immortals very powerful?She already was two years ago.

After Mrs. Luo led the two into the main hall, she bowed to the three of them, and then stood behind Qin Mumian.At this time, apart from Xu Beiyou and Zhang Wubing, there were only six women in the main hall. Zhang Xueyao, as the owner of the place, lived in the center, and Qin Mumian and Tang Shengyue sat on the left and right.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xueyao slowly said: "Zhang Binghu came from a long way, it's hard work, please sit down."

Zhang Wubing smiled calmly and sat on the guest seat next to him.

Zhang Xueyao fell silent again, so Xu Beiyou had no choice but to stand where he was, in this empty hall, being scrutinized bit by bit by three pairs of eyes.

Before that, Xu Beiyou had met Qin Mumian and Tang Shengyue, but he had never met Zhang Xueyao who was closest to him. This was the first time he saw Zhang Xueyao. While Zhang Xueyao was examining him, he was also secretly looking at his own body This teacher's wife.

In terms of appearance, the three women are actually almost the same. After all, they are all beautiful in their own eyes. It is not good to say that the three of them have their own strengths and deeds, and the difference is obvious.

Qin Mumian is the most conspicuous among the three, because she has an aura that is so proud that she looks down on most men, which is hard to ignore. Although she is over eighty years old, she has an immortality Supported by cultivation base, but also has a good face, he still looks in his early thirties, which is enough to make most men fascinated.

Compared with Qin Mumian, Zhang Xueyao, who was dressed in snow-white mourning clothes, was much more restrained. No matter her demeanor or expression, she was not as lukewarm as Tang Shengyue, just like a kind elder. She looked at Xu Beiyou with very warm eyes, but under the warmth But there is a bit of hidden and deep scrutiny, just like a childless housewife scrutinizing a concubine who has lost her mother, as if hesitating whether to bring this concubine under her knees.

After a long time, Zhang Xueyao smiled lightly, and finally said: "Beiyou, you sit too."

Xu Beiyou had seen a lot of great things in the world, but he was not restrained. He leaned his upper body forward slightly to thank him, then shook his head lightly and said, "Everyone here is an elder, so there is no reason for me, a junior, to be seated."

The smile on Zhang Xueyao's face became softer, her eyes glanced at the sword case behind Xu Beiyou, and she asked softly, "Can you show me the sword case behind you?"

Xu Beiyou took off the sword box without hesitation and stood in front of him, saying: "Master, besides Zhu Xian, there are four swords in the sword box, namely Tianlan, Quexie, Moming and Xuanming, but Tianlan, Que The three swords of evil and inexplicable have been used by disciples."

Zhang Xueyao had a complicated expression on her face, she nodded and said, "Open the sword box."

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand to press the top of the sword box, and silently recited the word "open".

The moment the sword box opened, a black light shot out and went straight to Zhang Xueyao.

Xu Beiyou was taken aback, and looked up, only to see Xuan Ming, who usually dismissed him, hovering in front of Zhang Xueyao, trembling happily.

Zhang Xueyao stretched out her hand, and Xuan Ming obediently fell into her hands, she was not like that unmoving "big beauty", she was clearly a little wife who depended on others.

Zhang Xueyao's face returned to calm, she held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and brushed lightly over the sword with the other, "Xuan Ming, I really don't see you for a while, do you miss me, or Bai Hong?"

Xu Beiyou didn't know what the story was, he was a little puzzled, Qin Mumian was silent, but Tang Shengyue said: "Back then you and Gongsun Zhongmou combined swords and hurt Qiuye, and Gongsun Zhongmou used this Xuanming at that time. "

"Yes." Zhang Xueyao had a look of reminiscence on her face, and she said with a little sadness: "At that time, Master Zhu Xian was still in the hands of the master, and the master gave the Baihong and Xuanming of the twelve swords to me and Zhongmou respectively, let us replace them He went to Daxue Mountain in the grassland and happened to meet Qiuye, Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping there."

Qin Mumian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Why didn't you kill Lin Yinping?"

Zhang Xueyao shook her head with a smile and said, "At that time, she and Xiao Yu fled all the way to this place. They were in a mess and couldn't take care of themselves. How could I have thought that she would be able to accompany Xiao Yu to the world in the future?"

Tang Shengyue saw that the two talked farther and farther away, and it would be fine if it was normal, but at this time not only an outsider Zhang Wubing was present, but also a group of subordinates and juniors, she couldn't help coughing lightly.

The two looked at each other, and silently closed their voices. Zhang Xueyao still had a gentle smile, and returned the Xuanming Sword to Xu Beiyou, saying, "Beiyou, since you are here, you are a family, and you don't want to live in Xie Yuan anymore."

Xu Beiyou didn't change his face, and said calmly: "This is natural."

Zhang Xueyao looked at the two people on her left and right, and asked, "Do the two sisters have any opinions?"

Qin Mumian said indifferently: "Since it is your Jianzong's housework, I, an outsider, naturally have no objections."

Tang Shengyue didn't rush to speak, but looked at the two people beside her.Zhang Xueyao wanted Xu Beiyou to take over Jianzong, this was something that had already been made clear, there was nothing to be surprised about, otherwise he would not have been allowed to come to the East Lake Courtyard.What really made Tang Shengyue a little bit interesting was Qin Mumian's attitude. Qin Mumian, who should have strongly opposed it, for some reason acquiesced to Zhang Xueyao's decision today, allowing Zhang Xueyao to make a final decision.

Tang Shengyue narrowed her eyes. Since she was alone, she didn't insist anymore, but she was curious about what method Zhang Xueyao used to persuade Qin Mumian. This would have to wait for Zhang Xueyao's post-event explanation.
