Zongwu: My Proficiency Panel

Chapter 119 Looking at Hua Dongmo, alarming the people of Luoyang

An inn in Luoyang City.

Ning Xiu looked at Master's letterhead again, not knowing what Master's intention was, he just went back and spent himself to meet with people in Luoyang, Zhongzhou.

However, thinking that this place is very close to Shaolin, which has the "ancestral home of Zen, the Holy Land of Kung Fu", it happens that he possesses several Buddhist martial arts, and he does not seek a deep understanding after he has practiced to a great degree.

With so many thoughts, Ning Xiu simply stopped thinking about it, and could go out for a stroll while he still had time.

The size of the inn he lived in was not shabby, and the scenery was quite different from that in the south of the Yangtze River. It happened to be summer at this time, and the trees in the backyard of the inn were full of lush green leaves.

Ning Xiu just walked to the place where a tree changed hands, and saw two people talking in a dark corner not far from the courtyard, one fat and the other thin.

He wanted to avoid it, but his five senses were sensitive, and the occasional words that came into his ears along the wind made him stop.

"When did the sect master ask us to go back?... We are more or less masters in the Jianghu, but now we are wasted in these clueless places..." Fatty's tone was full of resentment.

The thin man comforted: "Who would have imagined it? The head of the sect insisted on looking for it. It took so many years to find it, but who knows where the descendants are? You were only sent here. Just figure it out. It's okay. Maybe it's okay." After a while, the sect master didn't think about it."

"Is it possible? With the attitude of the sect master, I'm afraid it will take a lifetime to find him!"

"Where's the saying? If you find it, it's over. Although... it's a bit ridiculous."

The fat man lowered his voice: "But... I heard that the whole family of the person the main door was looking for a few years ago has died? Why do we need to look for it now?"

"You don't know? They were all dead in the first few years, and the sect master deliberately found people from the Tianji sect. With their skills, they can naturally find them...

There are intricate tunnels everywhere, and someone built a very large mausoleum there to bury the family.You also know that the sect master is obsessed with martial arts, so he sent people in.As a result, it's upside down...you know that?It's the one who touches dead people and works.When the door owner went to visit again, he was furious when he found that the mausoleum had been stolen, and when he checked the lost items, he found that the corpses inside the coffin had all been stolen..."

"What?! Is there such a thing? You even steal zongzi?"

"Who's a no-brainer stealing zongzi! The funerary objects are valuable, but what is the corpse of a dead person worth?... The head of the door suspected that the man was cheating on his death, and followed Daedou's way, or he followed the road he dug up by himself. I went out, but I don’t know the detailed reason. Tsk tsk, I can’t figure it out after thinking about it. The sect master’s thinking is also reasonable. But God knows if that person died alive? Then he was really dead and buried a few years ago. Even if he is alive now, we How can I know where it is?"

"That's right! ... I'm looking for it for no reason. I guess it was the one who fought back for the sake of convenience. I didn't know where it turned into ashes..."

"Hey, it's useless to complain, just look for it... After more than ten years of searching, we will also find it in the soil..."

There was nothing to listen to in the following conversation, Ning Xiu walked away slowly.

These two people's martial arts are very good, if it wasn't for Ning Xiu's deep breathing skills and excellent hearing, he wouldn't be able to hear what they said.

He thought about these words secretly.After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure out which sect these two belonged to.

There are many sects established with the gate in the Jianghu. The Tangjiabao in Bashu is also called Tangmen, the head of the sect is called the sect master, and the iron sword gate is also called the sect master. I don't know which sect master it is.

Over the years, there has been some grievances and grievances between the various factions, and there have been many incidents of hunting and hunting people. This is an anecdote, and they actually escaped by feigning death.

Anyway, it's none of my business, I just heard an interesting story.

Ning Xiu was thinking about these things, and walked out of the station without knowing it. It was getting dark and the streets were brightly lit.

People started to walk eastward in a concentrated manner, all looking beaming and glowing red.

Thinking there was something interesting, Ning Xiu followed them, wanting to join in the fun on a rare occasion.

It used to be the night market in the east, but this time it happened by chance, the night market that only gathers once every seven days, happened to be bumped by Ning Xiu.

The small streets are distributed vertically and horizontally, and the roadsides are full of bustling vendors. Each street is different, but very similar. Walking in it is full of people, like a small maze.

The lights illuminate this place like daytime, and it is crowded with people and extremely prosperous.Ning Xiu likes to be quiet, but everyone has come in, and he can't get out for a while, so he can only look around.

People like Ning Xiu, walking on the street, illuminated by lights, are like a beautiful landscape, attracting the attention of passers-by along the way.

Just because he carried the treasured sword on his back and released the aura of a high-ranking warrior a little bit, most people would not have the idea of ​​approaching him to strike up a conversation.

On the way, no one disturbed.

There are many gadgets on both sides of the street. At first glance, they are either women's favorites, or children's favorites, such as rouge gouache, sugar ball noodles.

It's a pity that Yaoyao is not around. There are many interesting things here that never existed there.The little boy must be very happy to see this.

When Yaoyao grows up, take her to have a look.

This night market is really lively, the sounds of conversation and yelling in my ears remind Ning Xiu of the days in Ping'an Town.

"Boss, how do you sell this?"

Ning Xiu stopped in front of a small stall, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a small object.A piece of jade pendant, a thin piece of white jade, looks radiant and cool to the touch.

The pattern on it is exquisite and fine-grained, complicated and beautiful.

"It's not expensive, just give it as you see."

Ning Xiu looked at it for a while, then reached out to take the jade pendant.

It was only after the cold fingers touched it that they suddenly met another person's fingers.

In the instant of contact, the warm softness of the man's fingertips spread across his fingertips, making Ning Xiu subconsciously withdraw his hand to avoid it.

Ning Xiu raised his eyes and looked over, only to see a woman in Tsing Yi standing beside him.

The woman was also looking at him, her eyebrows and eyes were clear and bright like an ink painting, her gaze was shining brightly, her thigh-length black hair was only loosely tied at the end, very charming, she looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but it gave people a feeling Very restrained.

The atmosphere was awkwardly silent for a while.

The two stood together by the side of the road and stared at each other, one pretending to be capable and otherworldly, while the other was calm and elegant, with picturesque features.For a time, it attracted the attention of many pedestrians.

"My lord likes this too? You can take it." The woman in Tsing Yi spoke first, her tone was humble and polite, and her eyes were mature and calm beyond her age.

"Thank you for your kindness. I just took a look. I'm sorry." Ning Xiu nodded slightly, gestured and turned to leave.

Just took two steps.

"Please stop." The woman in Tsing Yi bought the jade pendant and called Ning Xiu to stop.

"What's the matter?"

Ning Xiu stopped and stopped laughing before turning around.

"I remember, I recognize you. I met you ten years ago when you were young." The woman in Tsing Yi took a few steps towards Ning Xiu, with a smile on her lips, "You are... Zhao Ning, right? "

Ning Xiu looked at the woman in Tsing Yi again, but she had no impression at all: "Sorry, I don't remember you."

"Oh... don't you remember me... But you should have heard of me, my name is... my surname is Zhao, it's just a name, don't worry too much about it."

"Huh?" Ning Xiu raised half of his eyebrows, he still didn't expect to meet such a person here.

Judging from her tone, she is also a member of the royal family, but Ning Xiu really doesn't have the slightest impression.

"It's been ten years. It's not surprising that you have grown up like this. You only came here about ten years ago." The woman in Tsing Yi gestured to her chest.

That look is quite funny.

Ning Xiu looked at it and said with a smile, "Then what's the matter for you, Miss Zhao?"

"I actually ran into you in the night market, and... I fell in love with the same jade pendant with you. It's really destined." The woman in Tsing Yi looked at Ning Xiu, her smile deepening.

"Where are you going next?"

"I'm staying in Luoyang, I'm bored staying in the station, I'm here for a walk."

Ning Xiu really didn't have much resistance to this kind of beauty, and seeing her familiar appearance, he found it interesting, so he chatted briefly.

The woman in Tsing Yi clasped her arms on her chest, raised her head slightly and said, "Well... since we have the same surname, why don't we walk around together twice and become companions?"

When she said this, she stuttered a little, and she probably clenched her toes.

Just what is the reason?
Seeing that she was good-looking, Ning Xiu didn't care about Shicai's incident, paused, and replied calmly: "No, I'll go back right away, girl, take your time."

Her intentions were very obvious. Although Ning Xiu had some affection for her, she didn't know what the other party's intentions were, so she didn't want to entangle her too much, so as not to cause trouble.

The woman in Tsing Yi said again: "Wait."

As she spoke, the woman in Tsing Yi raised her right hand and held the jade pendant to give to Ning Xiu.

"Today is the first time we meet, let's chat with each other with a little thing," she said.

"...Thank you."

Ning Xiu didn't refuse, thanked the woman in Tsing Yi after accepting it, turned around and walked lightly and slowly, gradually disappearing into the crowd.

She watched Ning Xiu leave, and stayed there for a long time, staring at the place where Ning Xiu disappeared.

The lights on the side of the street at night shine on the shiny white jade, and the originally cold white jade is coated with a layer of warm halo by the dim yellow light, making it even more unique.

……

The night is like water, with a silver moon across the sky, the sky is dim and silent.

In a house, a woman's boudoir, with green smoke curling up and a dark fragrance floating.

There are 36 dreamlike and exquisite glass crystal lamps hanging on the hanging beams, like blooming delicate and charming roses, and the petals inlaid with gold rims wrap the South China Sea night pearls, emitting a soft light.

Behind a mica screen embroidered with picturesque mountains and rivers, steaming hot air mixed with a faint fragrance can be vaguely seen, and there is a woman like a lotus in clear water lying in the agarwood bathtub.

clap la la...

The woman puts on her clothes alone, her expression is very indifferent, her dress is very conservative, and she is as cold as the bone marrow.

Her name is Chaoci, and Chaoci is Chaoci from Baidi Caiyunjian.

She is always alone. Although she is a woman of the royal family, she doesn't even need a personal maid.

After tidying up, she picked up a volume of books and reclined comfortably on a long cushion with a thin silk skirt, stirring a strand of blue silk hanging from her ear with one hand.

Zhao Chaoci grew up in the imperial family since he was a child. He began to practice "Huangji Shocking Treasure" at the age of 12, and became a congenital at the age of 19. Now he is two decades old, and in eight years, he has cultivated to the sixth level. She is a genius who meets once in 500 years, and her fellow clan has given her the title of "the number one beauty in the clan", oh, she just doesn't bother to care about it.

What they say is the truth, or what they think is the truth, they don't know themselves at all.

After reading the book for a while, Zhao Chaoci got a little tired, got up and walked outside.

"I don't know what happened to Linglong outside?"

As I was thinking here, a woman in Tsing Yi in front of me seemed to be too nervous and accidentally fell down. Zhao Chaoci reflexively supported her, and before the smile just got back, she was stunned Baba thanked himself, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help deepening.

"Linglong, why are you so flustered?"

If Ning Xiu had been present, he would have recognized at a glance that the woman called Linglong by Chao Ci was the beauty he "met" at the night market.

There is a poem that says: "Jade snow has exquisite apertures, covered with green and red." This is exactly the case for this woman.

"Sister, do you know what it means to fall in love at first sight?"

"Is that the man named Zhao Ning?"

Zhao Chaoci looked at her reddish cheeks, remembered their purpose here, and smiled faintly.

But Linglong's face turned even redder, and she hopped away, leaving behind an angry and shy voice: "Hey, sister, you naturally won't understand!"

What kind of person is Zhao Ning, who has such a power to confuse people's hearts?

Zhu didn't know that the curiosity in her heart at this moment pushed her into the bottomless abyss.

The maid brought dessert, and a piece of peach cake was eaten into her mouth. It tasted a bit too sweet and greasy, which was not her liking.

"Who? Come here!" Chaoci felt a dark gaze staring at her from the corner, and shouted softly.

"you……"

A servant girl hurried over.

"You mean, how did I find you?"

Zhao Chaoci placed his hands neatly, and the royal aristocratic aura and warrior power put great pressure on the maidservant.

The maid was stunned by the coldness in Zhao Chaoci's eyes, unable to move, and even forgot the rules of asking for peace.

"It's so courageous to eavesdrop on what this princess is saying."

That black gaze aroused the maidservant's head, and almost shattered her sanity.

The maidservant's body trembled violently, like a stuck machine, as if being restrained by something, she bent her knees.

He knelt heavily on the ground and hit the bluestone floor.

The dull knocking sound showed how hard he used it, and he didn't stop until he broke the skin on his forehead.

"The slave dare not, the slave deserves death!"

She knew that the eldest princess probably hated her eavesdropping at this moment. Not long after she sold her body here, she knew the rules but got rid of curiosity and eavesdropped on her master's conversation. She deserved death.

The maid on the side was holding a wooden tray, gloating.

"You really deserve to die!" Zhao Chaoci's expression remained indifferent.

"Please forgive me, master." The handmaid's injured and cocooned palm was pierced again, and it was dyed bright red.

Seeing the maidservant's ordinary face, that respectful and fearful gesture, Zhao Chaoci suddenly felt that she was a little ridiculous now, was she so humble that she could get that sense of superiority from the servant?

After a while, she didn't intend to pursue further, turned around and left, and gave a few orders.

"Since you love to kneel so much, let's kneel outside."

Far away, came the master's order.

"Yes, thank you master for rewarding me, this slave knows I was wrong!"

"When the sun rises in the east, go back."

"The slave obeys, and sends the master off respectfully."

Until the people were far away, the maid slowly raised her head and looked at the blood on the floor tiles.

Quietly wipe off until the light is visible.
