That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 186

After arriving in Jiangzhou, there was an old man from Jianzong waiting for him. This is an elderly man who looks about sixty years old. He has a slightly dark complexion, a bit rich, a slightly hunched back, and his face is full of wrinkles that are full of weather marks. , and there is nothing extraordinary in temperament, the whole person is like a piece of dead wood.

Li Qinglian called him Lao Wu, maybe Zhang Xueyao had already explained in advance, so Lao Wu still regarded Xu Beiyou as the person in charge, and explained the background of the party to him.

This gathering, somewhat similar to Qushui Liushang, was held in Linggu Temple, which is known as the "No. [-] Zen Forest in the World", and it can be regarded as mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people. Although Zhang Xueyao, a senior figure behind the scenes, will not appear, there are still people of the same generation as Xu Beiyou. A lot of people came, and some of them were the best of the younger generation, most of whom were scholars, and it could be regarded as the last grand gathering specially prepared by Jiangnan Shilin for this autumn.

Then Lao Wu led the two people to Linggu Temple. At this time, there was still half an hour before the start of the assembly. In Xiudun, a female crown is fiddling with tea ceremony skills at the table, which makes people dazzled.

After Xu Beiyou and Li Qinglian took their seats, Old Wu withdrew, and only the female crown was left to pour a cup of tea for the two of them.

During the time Xu Beiyou followed Xiao Zhinan, he did not drink less tea. Not to mention the kung fu of tasting tea, but the appearance of drinking tea has learned a lot. At this time, he sips lightly and slowly, but he looks decent. Li Qinglian even Needless to say, being taught by Zhang Xueyao, a woman from a family, except for being a bit mean when facing Xu Beiyou, she is an impeccable lady at other times, and her reputation among Qin Mumian and Tang Shengyue is also excellent.

The appearance of women's crowns in Buddhist temples may seem absurd, but it is not absurd.No matter how much Jianzong and Daoist sect turned against each other, it is undoubtedly from the Daoist sect at the root. They also enshrine the Taoist ancestor, and there are many monks and Taoists in the sect. Just like the Central Plains Zen sect and Grassland Esoteric sect, although they have different understandings of Buddhism, the Buddha enshrined is still the six-foot-high gold body.

This female crown is a member of the Sword Sect, and her status is very extraordinary. In detail, Xu Beiyou would call her senior sister, but she is not as good as direct disciples like Xu Beiyou and Li Qinglian.

In fact, no matter whether it is an aristocratic family or a sect, it is important to first pay attention to the difference between the concubine and the concubine, and then to pay attention to the difference between the elder and the younger.Xu Beiyou and Li Qinglian are roughly equivalent to the status of "concubine sons". They can inherit the mantle and inherit the position of suzerain. , but it will never be possible to hope for sword 36 and the suzerain.

Li Qinglian seemed to be familiar with this female crown, with a sincere smile on her face, the two whispered something from time to time, Xu Beiyou had no intention of eavesdropping on their conversation, but just sipping tea and thinking about her own affairs quietly.

When the two were talking, the female crown looked at the young master who had recently been born out of the sky without any trace. A woman looked at a man, first at his skin, second at his aura, and third at his eyes.The two characters of eye edge, to put it bluntly, are the word of fate. Even if some men have sword eyebrows and star eyes, and the jade tree faces the wind, but they are not suitable for women's eyes, it is useless. Some men are ordinary, but they are right for women's eyes Maybe a flower can be planted in cow dung.

Obviously, Xu Beiyou didn't suit Li Qinglian's eyes, and he didn't care about it. He never thought that he would be provoked when he saw a woman. Li Qinglian didn't want to see that he was exactly what Xu Beiyou wanted, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.As for how the female crown who should be called senior sister thinks of him, he doesn't care much. He believes in a sentence that his master said, if it can't be awe-inspiring, then remove the word "respect" in front of it.

Thinking back to the time when the master ancestor, Shangguan Xianchen could be said to have killed a sword sect lord. He landed from the East China Sea with a single sword, traveled westward all the way, and killed the northwest grassland. You can count them with one hand, and the wounded can't be counted with one hand. To destroy three sects, big and small, is almost relying on one's own power to disturb the changes in the entire cultivation world. At that time, everyone was in danger, afraid of being killed This evil star came to the door.

This is the extreme use of the word "fear".

After you can make people "fear", it will be much easier to establish "respect".

Later, Shangguan Xianchen severely wounded the three Taoist peak masters with one sword, fought against the five elders of the Xuanjiao alone, resisted the nine-fold heavenly punishment and thunder punishment, and took over Xiaohuang's Tianzi sword, each of which shocked the world matter.

To be able to do what ordinary people can't is to force people to have respect on the basis of awe.

The word "respect" is not easy.

Just when Xu Beiyou was wandering outside, there was a knock on the door, which interrupted his thoughts and also interrupted the conversation of the other two women.

The knock on the door was very soft, but Li Qinglian's expression turned serious.

Before the knock on the door, she didn't notice anyone outside the door, and after the knock on the door, she still didn't notice anyone outside the door, as if the knock on the door came from the door itself.

After three knocks on the door, there was no answer from the three people in the room. The door was pushed open from the outside, and a thin old man walked in.

The old man was dressed in a fine attire, and he looked empty and funny, but from Xu Beiyou's point of view, this man had a good demeanor and was able to hide from everyone's perception. He should be a master who was good at storing energy.

Nuguan looked at the old man and said solemnly, "Liu Fu."

Li Qinglian froze for a moment, her face became more and more serious. If the old man in front of her was really Liu Fu, today's matter would be difficult to deal with. You must know that although Liu Fu came from a casual cultivator, he was a real master in the realm of immortality. Ren Xueyun was stained with blood countless times. According to the division of Jianzong's sword intent, he walked in a deceitful way. Although he could not compare with domineering and domineering, he was better than being able to catch people by surprise, making people hard to guard against.

It is heard that he has been attached to the imperial court all these years and has disappeared for a while. Now that he shows up in Linggu Temple, he is afraid that the visitor is not kind.

Liu Fu glanced at the three people in the room, finally set his eyes on Li Qinglian, and said expressionlessly: "I think you are Li Qinglian, my master welcomes you."

"Your master?" Li Qinglian raised her eyebrows and said bluntly, "I don't know you."

Liu Fu said flatly: "After going there, I will naturally know each other."

Li Qinglian said in a cold voice: "Why should I go if you are invited by a bad guest?"

Liu Fu frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Xu Beiyou who was sitting beside him.

At the same time, the female crown also looked at Xu Beiyou. It seemed that at this time, as the only man among the three, she should stand up and bear the sudden wind and rain for Li Qinglian.After all, no matter how close the two are in private, they are still brothers and sisters in front of outsiders.

It's just that Xu Beiyou didn't move, as if he was indifferent to everything in front of him.

The female crown was a little disappointed, whether it was timid or cool, the performance of this young master made her feel dissatisfied.

A man should have his own responsibility, if he loses this responsibility, what else is there?
Liu Fu took a step forward, still with a rigid expressionless face, and said in a deep voice, "So, you don't want to go."

"What, do you want to do it?" Li Qinglian narrowed her eyes and pressed her sword hilt.

The old man smiled for the first time, with undisguised contempt and disdain, "You're not Qi Xianyun, you can't beat me."

Qi Xianyun is an unavoidable threshold for the members of the Sword Sect. Liu Fu bluntly said that Li Qinglian is no match for her peer Qi Xianyun. This kind of contempt even makes a clay figurine angry, not to mention the arrogant Li Qinglian .

Li Qinglian suppressed the anger in her heart, and said as calmly as possible: "I admit that I am not as good as Qi Xianyun, but what are you, worthy of being compared with Qi Xianyun?"

The old man opened his five fingers, and a crystal clear snow-white short blade appeared out of nowhere in his palm. The sudden change in his posture made Li Qinglian startled. I remember Master Zhang Xueyao said that the biggest difference between Zongmen disciples and Jianghu casual cultivators is that Zongmen The disciple's skill lies in his superb skills, but the casual cultivator in Jianghu has an extra ruthlessness that is rarely seen among the disciples of the sect.

Anyone who can stand out from a group of casual cultivators is not a mediocre person. Even the elite disciples in the sect are hard to get cheap from them, especially before the realm of the earth fairy.

At this time, Liu Fu had an indomitable spirit of not fearing death, and a murderous spirit crawling out of the dead, which made Li Qinglian, who had never experienced a fierce battle, faintly shiver, and lost her previous confidence. full.

Liu Fu said calmly: "Forget it, the old man will do it himself, so as not to waste any more effort."
