Taiqing Sword

Chapter 339, Happy Palace

Shangguan Jinghong heard the words and didn't ask any more questions. He also urgently needs to retreat and study at this moment. Now Shangguan Jinghong has a lot more things in his mind, which is about to be consolidated.

"Heisha, I'm going to retreat for a period of time recently. Since the master has passed on the suzerain position to me, I will trouble you and Luo Fu to take care of it during this time."

Heisha said: "I don't know how long the Lord will be in retreat?"

"It's hard to say, maybe three to five months, or ten days or so."

Heisha and Luo Fu nodded upon hearing this.

Shangguan Jinghong did not shy away from it, and directly meditated in the main hall. Everyone saw it and left one after another. Hong Ying stopped at the door and said, "I will stay here. Since the suzerain wants to retreat, naturally I can't Someone interrupted."

Heisha cupped his hands: "Then there will be Miss Hongying."

To say that Xie Yun passed on the skill to Shangguan Jinghong, it is indeed a bit messy. Shangguan Jinghong has been in seclusion for more than two months. When he opened his eyes again, it was late at night. No one disturbed Shangguan Jinghong. After leaving the underground palace, Hong Ying, who had been guarding outside the palace, didn't realize it at all.

After leaving the underground palace, Shangguan Jinghong only felt extremely lonely. The former Ziwu Palace, the former Hanyue Sect, and the original Guiyun City all disappeared now. Shangguan Jinghong also moved to countless sects, remembering Walk aimlessly.

I don't know how long we walked, Shangguan Jinghong looked at the faintly bright sky, and a courtyard appeared in front of him, looking at the courtyard wall covered with vines, Shangguan Jinghong sighed, what an ancient courtyard, Shangguan Jinghong walked around for a long time before finding the main entrance , the couplet hanging on the door made Shangguan Jinghong suddenly interested , Shangguan Jinghong chuckled: "What a carefree."

As soon as Shangguan Jinghong's words fell, a voice came from the courtyard: "Which friend has arrived at Xiaoyao Palace, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"

Shangguan was startled, he didn't feel anyone in the courtyard, how strong this person must be, just as he was thinking that the courtyard door had been opened, a woman with the appearance of a maid poked her head out: "Sir, you Is it the honored guest that the master said? My master asked you to come in for tea."

Although he was a bit puzzled, Shangguan Jinghong took a step in, followed the guidance of the maid, and arrived at a small hall. The hall was covered with calligraphy and paintings. Shangguan Jinghong couldn't tell who wrote them: "It seems that your master is a A refined man."

The servant girl chuckled: "My master usually likes to recite poems and draw pictures, and these are the master's usual paintings."

Shangguan Jinghong picked up a picture of a green pine, looked at it and sighed: "What a strong pine, insisting on the green hills and not letting go. The roots are originally in the broken rocks, and they are tenacious even after thousands of blows. Let the wind from east to west, north and south."

"Good poem! The old man just felt that there was a distinguished guest coming, but he didn't expect it to be someone in the passage. The poem that Mr. just wrote is really a good sentence through the ages. Admire, admire!"

After Shangguan Jinghong finished speaking, a voice came from behind, and he turned around slowly, but it was an old man with white hair and childlike face standing behind him, and the old man was also surprised when he saw Shangguan Jinghong's eyes, thinking, just now I felt that this person was a master of cultivation, but I didn't expect that he was also a Buddha and a demon. It was really surprising, he laughed and said, "What's your name, sir?"

Shangguan Jinghong smiled: "I'm Shangguan Jinghong."

The old man nodded and glanced at the servant girl: "Tong'er, why don't you go make tea? The old man said that he would invite distinguished guests to drink tea. How could he be a slip of the tongue?"

Shangguan Jinghong was not polite, and directly found a seat and sat down: "Old man Li Xiao, who calls himself Xiaoyaozi, I am afraid that there will be no guests in this yard for some years. The old man is lazy and careless, and looks a bit messy. I hope you won't be offended, sir."

Shangguan Jinghong waved his hand: "Where is the old man, this place is elegant and unique, it is really a good place to escape from the world, if possible, I would like to live here forever."

Li Xiao laughed, and the servant girl also came over with tea: "Come, come, try the orchid tea grown by the old man."

Shangguan Jinghong frowned slightly: "Orchid tea? Can this orchid be made into tea? This is the first time I've heard of it."

"This gentleman doesn't know something. The four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, I love orchids the most. Unfortunately, the pollen of orchids is indeed poisonous and cannot be eaten. But for people with cultivation like you and me, this poison has its own meaning." What happened? But the world doesn’t know.”

Shangguan Jinghong nodded, picked up the teacup, took a sip first, and then drank it all in one gulp. Suddenly, his head felt dizzy. , it seems that it’s not just orchids, right?”

Li Xiao gave a thumbs up: "Sir, you have good eyesight, indeed, all the strange poisons in the world are in it, and the old man just discovered by accident. The combination of these kinds of toxins and orchids has unexpected effects, and the old man often stagnates." When you are young, just drink a pot, although the progress is not big, but it is better than nothing."

Shangguan Jinghong thought to himself, no wonder, with his own cultivation, ordinary toxins can't harm him at all, since he feels dizzy, it means that there is a strong poison in it: "The old man is really a strange person, but I'm sorry for my ignorance , this Xiaoyao Palace..."

Li Xiao laughed and said, "Have you never heard of it?"

Shangguan Jinghong nodded embarrassingly: "It's true that I haven't heard of it."

"It's no wonder. In fact, the old man wasn't called Li Xiao originally. It's just that the martial arts fights that I don't like all the time, so I built such a courtyard here and renamed it Li Xiao. Finally, I was with trees and flowers. When I was bored, It’s a kind of joy in life to splash ink.”

Shangguan was shocked when he heard the words, and drank another cup of tea. He seemed to have had such thoughts before, Li Xiao saw this: "It seems that Mr. has something to worry about."

"Indeed there is, but after drinking the old man's tea, it's already halfway there."

"Haha, this is tea, not wine. The old man has never noticed such an effect."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled and said: "Old man, this tea is actually Wangyoucao, and wine is worrying."

Li Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Well said, what a forget you grass, just for this, the old man will definitely chat with you for three days and three nights."

Shangguan Jinghong was embarrassed for a while, he came out without notifying Heisha and the others, and once they found out, they must have been very anxious: "Well, let's do it next time, the family will not know if I come out next time I can’t rush back early, I’m afraid they will worry.”

Li Xiao nodded upon hearing the words: "That's it, that's fine, since we've met each other, we won't be together for a while, let's chat some other day when we're free."
