Taiqing Sword

Chapter 26, Farewell to Ziwu Palace
"Ningxin, we will arrive at Ziwu Palace." Looking at the majestic palace on the mountain not far away, Shangguan Jinghong seemed a little timid.

"Jinghong, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, let's go up the mountain."

As soon as the two of them reached the gate of the mountain, a disciple of Ziwu Palace who guarded the mountain rushed up to stop him: "Who are you two? Please leave quickly."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at this person and thought, yes, he hasn't come back for such a long time. I'm afraid the mountain guard disciple didn't know how many times he changed. He took out the token of the elder Keqing that He Yannian gave him from his arms: "Can you recognize this thing?"

The disciple guarding the mountain took a closer look, was startled, and bowed immediately: "This disciple didn't know the elder was going back to the mountain, so he slipped out of his mouth and said nonsense, please forgive the elder."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled slightly: "Those who don't know are not to blame, you are busy with your work, I will go up the mountain by myself." Turning his head to Ning Ning Xin, he said: "Ning Xin, I will go up the mountain in a while, and I have seen the purple clothes. Say goodbye to Senior He, and we will go .”

The two walked to the martial arts arena, and saw a young woman practicing martial arts. Her moves were slow, and she looked powerless, but there was a huge energy in every movement and stillness. , just quietly watching the woman boxing, this woman is none other than Ouyang Ziyi.

Ouyang Ziyi felt that someone was peeping, turned around suddenly, and was stunned when he saw the peeping person: "Master, is it you?"

Shangguan Jinghong nodded, Ouyang Ziyi stood on the spot blankly, biting his lips to prevent himself from crying, ran a few steps and plunged into Shangguan Jinghong's arms, finally burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably, Shangguan Jinghong Hong looked at Ning Xin with some embarrassment, seeing that there was no abnormal expression on Ning Ning Xin's face, he patted Ouyang Ziyi's back lightly: "Okay, okay, I've become a big girl, why are you still crying?"

Ouyang Ziyi was sobbing: "Elder Nangong and Elder Bai said that you were killed in the ruins, I..."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled, knowing that Nangong Lie and Bai Xingye did not tell Ouyang Ziyi of their grievances with Kunlun Mountain, and they might not even tell He Yannian: "How can I be killed so easily, don't cry Yes, someone is watching." Said super condensed and pouted.

Only then did Ouyang Ziyi remember that there was someone beside him, and quickly wiped away her tears: "Master, this person is..."

Shangguan Jinghong scratched his head immediately, the relationship between himself and Ning Ningxin has never been broken: "This is Miss Leng, it's mine, my friend."

Ouyang Ziyi is a big kid, with an expression that I understand, he bowed down to Ning Ningxin: "Disciple Ouyang Ziyi pays homage to Master's Wife."

Shangguan Jinghong was stunned by this sentence, Ning Ningxin blushed and was at a loss, only Ouyang Ziyi smirked: "No wonder Master hasn't returned to Ziwu Palace for so long, so it turns out that he was with the beautiful wife, I can't think of leaving anymore."

Shangguan Jinghong coughed: "Ziyi, don't talk nonsense, get up quickly." Ouyang Ziyi smiled and got up and patted the dust on his body: "Master, master, go away. Ever since the news of your death came back, the palace master has been sad for a long time, and personally taught My martial arts, he must be very happy that you are back now."

When Shangguan Jinghong heard Ouyang Ziyi's words, he also missed the old man He Yannian. After all, Shangguan Jinghong was the first elder in the world who was sincere to him. Some mischievously said: "Master, mistress, you are hiding here. I will go in and find the Palace Master. Come out when I call you. Give him a surprise."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled helplessly, hoping it was a surprise, not a shock.

"Palace Master, Palace Master, Ziyi is here to see you." Once Ouyang Ziyi entered the hall, looked at He Yannian, and shouted at the top of his voice.

He Yannian turned his head and saw Ouyang Ziyi, he was also a little happy: "Ziyi is here, what's the trouble this time?" Since the news of Shangguan Jinghong's death came, Ouyang Ziyi didn't think about eating and drinking every day, and He Yannian couldn't bear it. He regards Ouyang Ziyi as the epitome of Shangguan Jinghong, he takes it with him every day, and teaches martial arts carefully. Half a year ago, Ouyang Ziyi went down the mountain to avenge his family, and no one knew what happened. With He Yannian's pampering and messing around, there is no one in Ziwu Palace who does not have a headache.

Ouyang Ziyi heard what He Yannian said, and murmured: "No way, who said I got into trouble."

He Yannian stroked his beard and smiled: "Then why do you come to me, an old guy, when you have time? You usually avoid me when I teach you exercises."

"I want to practice well the boxing techniques that the master gave me. The master said that he is specialized in learning."

When He Yannian heard that Ouyang Ziyi mentioned Shangguan Jinghong, he immediately showed sadness: "Hey, your master is a martial arts genius I have seen, it's a pity, if I didn't insist on letting him explore the ruins that day, I wouldn't... ...Hey, God is jealous of talents, I don't have many friends, your master is my old friend, even my life was saved because of him, hey..."

Shangguan Jinghong heard this outside the door and couldn't take it anymore, he stepped into the hall: "Senior He, Jinghong is back."

He Yannian stood up abruptly, looking at the living Shangguan Jinghong standing in front of the hall, his lips were trembling but he couldn't say a word, Shangguan Jinghong also had slightly red eyes: "I'm worrying you old man, Jinghong I should have come back sooner, but something delayed me."

He Yannian finally swallowed a mouthful of saliva, calmed down, opened his mouth for a long time and only said four words: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Just at this time, a rough voice came from far and near to the hall: "Old Palace Master, those little ladies we saved a few days ago turned out to be disciples of Xianxin Sect, no, today Sect Master Li Wuji I sent someone to give an old mountain ginseng, the age may be 500 years old, I don’t dare to enjoy it to myself, this is not special..." At this point, it came to an abrupt end, the person who came was Nangong Lie. Looking at Shangguan Jinghong in the hall, the old mountain ginseng in his hand slipped to the ground, Shangguan Jinghong looked at the old brother, stepped forward to pick up the old mountain ginseng, and handed it to Nangong Lie: "Brother Nangong, don't come here without any harm. "

Nangong Lie, a tough guy, also had red eyes at this time: "Brother Shangguan, you, you are still alive."

Shangguan Jinghong nodded vigorously, Nangong Lie hugged Shangguan Jinghong: "You are still alive, hahaha, I knew you would not die so easily, hahaha." Talk too much.

Hearing Nangong Lie's laughter, Bai Xingye walked into the lobby with a smile: "Brother Nangong, it's been a long time since I heard you laugh so heartily, hahaha." Suddenly seeing Shangguan Jinghong's smile froze on his face: " Brother Shangguan?"

Shangguan Jinghong hugged Bai Xingye: "Brother Bai, long time no see."

"Yeah, it's been a long time."

Ouyang Ziyi on the one side pouted, she had cried enough, but she didn't care about other people's excited mood: "Master, alas, didn't I tell you not to come out, why did you run out by yourself, I still want to surprise the Palace Master! "

Several people laughed, Shangguan Jinghong remembered that Ning Xin was still at the side: "By the way, Ning Xin, Senior He, two big brothers, this is Ning Xin, you all know him."

Ouyang Ziyi hurriedly added: "This is my teacher's wife." As soon as he said this, He Yannian looked blank, Nan Gonglie and Bai Xingye were stunned, Condensed heart was covered with red clouds, and Shangguan Jinghong was embarrassed Unbelievable, in order to prevent Ouyang Ziyi from saying anything else, he quickly stopped it: "Ziyi, don't talk nonsense, Senior He, Big Brother Nangong and Big Brother Bai have all seen Ning Xin, you may not have seen it, but you must have heard of it, you The blood of the nine-tailed fox used for detoxification was provided by Ning Xin."

When He Yannian heard it, he suddenly turned from dazed to shocked: "Jinghong, this is, is this the Fairy Leng from Buried Heart Tomb?"

Ning Ningxin knew that Shangguan Jinghong respected He Yannian, so he stepped forward slowly: "Senior He, don't dare to let Senior He call you Fairy Leng, just call me Ning Xin, and the same goes for Big Brother Nangong and Big Brother Bai."

He Yannian obviously couldn't receive such a large amount of information all at once, but Nangong Lie was used to being shocked by Shangguan, so he winked and said to Bai Xingye in a very low voice: "Old Bai, I told you at the inn the other day What's going on?"

Bai Xingye glanced at Ning Ningxin, then glanced at Nangong Lie: "You forgot, what did you say that day, and was taught by Miss Leng?"

Although Nangong Lie is a rough person, he also has delicate thoughts. When he heard Bai Xingye's words, his expression immediately changed: "Brother Shangguan and Fairy Leng didn't show signs of growth that day, but now they are my sister-in-law. What can I say?" of."

He Yannian also came to his senses at this time: "Jinghong, I didn't expect it, but it's no wonder that you and Miss Leng are both talented and beautiful. Except for Miss Leng, I really can't think of anyone in this world who can be worthy of you."

Shangguan Jinghong scratched his head in embarrassment: "Senior He, although I am the elder Keqing of Ziwu Palace, isn't it kind of nice for you to praise yourself so much?"

Everyone suddenly burst into laughter, and Shangguan Jinghong immediately remembered another thing: "Senior He, I also want to thank you for taking care of Ziyi."

When He Yannian heard it, he looked at Ouyang Ziyi, his eyes full of doting: "This girl has a high level of understanding, so I can't talk about taking care of her. Speaking of which, I didn't teach her anything. It was the boxing technique you taught her. She was originally a half-baked girl. , since he went down the mountain to take revenge half a year ago, and since he came back, his martial arts has advanced rapidly, and he has already caught up with several hall masters in the palace."

Shangguan Jinghong turned his head to look at Ouyang Ziyi: "Revenge, revenge?"

Ouyang Ziyi looked relaxed: "No, I wanted to take revenge at first, but I don't know why, since I practiced Taijiquan, the hatred in my heart has become smaller and smaller, which is why I rushed down the mountain to take revenge, but when I got to the front of the house, I was a little scared. If I really took revenge, I would really have no relatives in this world. Finally, I mustered up the courage to enter the house, only to find out that Ouyang Ba was seriously ill and would not live long. He begged me to kill him. He, don't implicate his children. I agreed, but I didn't kill him. Although I refused to deny him as an uncle, I didn't have any intention of revenge. God give me compensation."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Ouyang Ziyi and nodded continuously: "Yes, in martial arts, there is no victory without defeat. Only people with broader minds can practice higher martial arts. Every kind of martial arts practiced to the highest level will produce certain Hostility, and what we have to do is to resolve this hostility, which is the so-called inner demon. Taijiquan focuses on self-cultivation and self-cultivation. You advance quickly because you have broken the demon. Remember that the highest state of martial arts is tolerate."

After hearing these words, He Yannian nodded straightly: "It's so good that if you don't win, you won't lose, what a tolerant martial arts realm, Jinghong, I said that you are a martial arts genius, I didn't expect you to be better than our hometown So much higher."

When Shangguan Jinghong heard He Yannian's average, he was immediately terrified: "Senior He, don't put a high hat on me, I know how much I own."

He Yannian laughed: "Okay, okay, Jinghong, oh, there is also Miss Leng, let's not say more, you guys go to rest quickly, I will cleanse you up tonight."

Shangguan Jinghong did not move, but took out the token of the elder Keqing from his arms, and kept stroking it. He didn't know how to speak. Seeing Shangguan Jinghong's thoughts: "What, Jinghong, are you leaving?"

"Brother Shangguan, are you... because of the ruins?"

Shangguan Jinghong apologized: "Senior He, Brother Bai, Brother Nangong, the incident with the ruins last time was just the cause, and many things happened later, I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes anymore. In the world of Jianghu, you can enjoy your kindness and hatred, but later you feel that many things can’t be controlled by yourself. They obviously happened in front of your eyes, and you tried to stop them but you couldn’t. I thought about it. I want to bury my heart with Ning Xin. , you can go and see us."

Nangong Lie thought that Shangguan Jinghong was brooding over the fact that he did not help in the ruins, but why not: "Brother Shangguan, regarding the ruins, brother, I really..."

"Brother Nangong, I didn't take it to heart at all. At that time, I didn't want to retire from the world..."

He Yannian heard that there must be something hidden about the ruins, and before Shangguan Jinghong finished speaking: "What else is hiding from me about the trip to the ruins, you can tell me at night."

Bai Xingye sighed: "Old Palace Master, in fact, brothers Shangguan were not besieged and killed in the ruins that day, it was Qing Xuzi who saved us, brother Shangguan had a grudge against Qing Xuzi's apprentice Ma Yuzhen, so he acquiesced to Yun Yin's treatment of him." Brother Shangguan killed me, and Nangong and I were afraid that we would be involved in the sect, neither, nor... If Miss Leng hadn't rescued him, Brother Shangguan would have died on the spot."

The muscles on He Yannian's face kept trembling, and he smashed the table with his palm: "Kunlun Mountain, you are too deceptive!"

Shangguan Jinghong was startled: "Senior He, this matter is over, and I have no intention of seeking revenge. Senior He, don't get angry, don't get angry."

"Jinghong, don't talk about it, Xingye and Nangong shouldn't look forward and backward because of the other party's strength. Who should I be afraid of in Ziwu Palace? And the other shouldn't hide it from me afterwards. Jinghong, this matter, I will definitely go to Kunlun Mountain to ask for an explanation."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at He Yannian who was in a rage, and quickly said: "Senior He, don't do it, Ning Xin has already settled this matter, I don't blame Big Brother Bai and Big Brother Nangong, they did nothing wrong, If it were me, I would do the same. If I really blamed you, I would not come to Ziwu Palace again. It is because of other things that I have the idea of ​​retiring from the arena. Senior He, I really am. Tired."

He Yannian saw that Shangguan Jinghong had made up his mind, so he didn't dissuade him, he just handed back the guest token: "Jinghong, no matter what time you are, you will be my guest at Ziwu Palace, and you will definitely come when you leave the valley. Sit in the palace."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at several people, then at Ouyang Ziyi: "Take care!"
