After mid-July, the sun is scorching hot, and the earth seems like a melting pot.
Although Jiuxiangxinfang, alleys, and Dongluoguan are no longer bustling and noisy, the theater is still full of people and lively.
The archway, gazebo, corridor, screen wall, stage and other carved beams and paintings are full of momentum and wit
On the archway in the center, there is an exquisite and elegant square table, on which there are rare fruit cakes and melon seed tea.
Zhao Qingmei was dressed in white clothes and she was sitting in the middle, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, looking at the stage below with beautiful eyes.
On the side are Duanmu Xinghua, Yu Qiurong, Mu Xiaoyun, Tan Yun and others.
"The courtyard of Xie's family is remnant and erected, and the swallows are carved with beams. The moon is a silver wall, and you can't tell the fragrance from the flowers?"
"This love has become a memory of its own, with scattered mandarin ducks. It was cool after the rain, and it was a dream 11 years ago."
With the sound of the music, a young woman stepped onto the stage in small steps. The actor's singing voice was sometimes excited, sometimes melodious, sometimes high, and sometimes low. The ups and downs of the melody made people intoxicated.
Duanmu Xinghua lightly clasped his fingers on the wooden table, echoed lightly, and couldn't help but think of all the glory of the past in his mind.
At that time, the Demon Cult was still in full swing, and its power shook the world. There were three sects, four sects and five poisons under its command. At that time, the most powerful swordsmen in the world were not Lin Yiyang and Lou Xiangzhen, but sword gods and sword demons. At that time, the new emperor of Yan came to the throne However, in the past few years, when it was the time to show its glory, Hou Jin was still in turmoil, and there was no unity as it is today.
Scenes of the past years appeared in front of his eyes, which made experts like Duanmu Xinghua sigh in their hearts.
The general trend of the world is erratic like the clouds in the sky, masters appear one after another, but how powerless is a person's life in the face of this turbulent general trend?
"Sect Master Duanmu, does it really sound good?"
After singing the song, Tan Yun, who was sitting next to Duanmu Xinghua, asked in a low voice.
For her, these obscure operas are just as good as they have heard. She sings well, but she is far from being able to immerse herself in them.
She felt rather boring, and had already eaten up two plates of pastries.
Duanmu Xinghua chuckled, "Life is nothing more than this opera, I will appear on stage after you sing."
A bright light appeared in Zhao Qingmei's eyes, and she continued to nibble on the melon seeds in her hand
Tan Yun chuckled, and said: "Sect Master Duanmu's words are too mysterious, it's just like my master's reading, no wonder my master also likes to listen to music on weekdays."
Yu Qiurong glanced at Tan Yun angrily, could the song your master Li Fuzhou listened to be the same as this one?
Mu Xiaoyun also laughed. Although she had never seen this Demon Cult Renzong, she had often heard about his affairs, and it was quite interesting to say it from his lover at this moment.
Duanmu Xinghua heard this and scolded with a smile: "You girl, did you arrange your master's like this?"
Tan Yun said seriously: "I didn't, what I said was the truth."
Zhao Qingmei said indifferently: "This is indeed the truth, but don't say it in the future."
When Tan Yun heard Zhao Qingmei, he quickly shrank his neck, not daring to speak anymore.
In the Demon Cult, Li Fuzhou and Zhao Qingmei were the ones she was most afraid of. Li Fuzhou had that severe feeling, while Zhao Qingmei was afraid from the bottom of her heart.
Now that the leader has spoken, how dare she speak again.
Duanmu Xinghua patted Tan Yun's head, she liked Li Fuzhou's apprentice very much since she was a child, even more so than Zhao Qingmei.
A person who talks a lot of nonsense means that there are few things on his mind, and his life is happy and confused. A person with less nonsense means that his mind is heavy, his life is depressed and sober.
"Here."
At this time, Yu Qiurong handed the pastry in front of her to Tan Yun.
Tan Yun's eyes lit up, and he took the pastry, "Thank you, sister Qiu Rong."
Yu Qiurong smiled and said, "I hope these pastries can stop your little mouth."
"Good good."
Tan Yun hugged the plate and ran to the side in a hurry.
Seeing this, everyone present laughed even deeper.
"Master!"
At this moment, Shuiyue hurried in from outside the stage and said in a low voice, "The information has come back."
Zhao Qingmei said concisely: "Say."
Shuiyue said in a deep voice: "There has indeed been a change in the Luosu clan, and half a month ago, Sun Xiu of the Suoming Mansion suddenly retreated, and there has been no news until now."
Sun Xiu, the top master of the Suoming Mansion, was originally a master of the smallpox realm in the Yan Kingdom. Tai Sui moved the soil on his head and provoked the second prince Zhao Mengtai.
Zhao Mengtai is a weak-hearted lord who will take revenge, so naturally he will not give up easily.
In this way, within a few short months, the Tianyun Sect was razed to the ground and completely disappeared in the Great Yan Jianghu.
On the other hand, Sun Xiu escaped from Dayan and took refuge in the Houjin Suoming Mansion. With the help of Qiu Fengsheng, her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and she even reached the realm of a master.
Qiu Fengsheng used to be a teacher of Hei Bingtai, and Hei Bingtai is most famous for various pills that can overdraw their potential to improve their strength, the most famous of which is the Blood-sickness Pill, but this Blood-sickness Pill is just one of them, and it is not for the sake of it. People know that there are countless kinds of elixirs.
Qiu Fengsheng was naturally very familiar with these elixirs. Xuan Yiwei had planned to ask Qiu Fengsheng to refine this batch of elixirs, but he didn't know why he gave up.
Some people said that Qiu Fengsheng was unwilling to come up with the method of alchemy, and some said that the royal family was unwilling to use pills to control Xuanyiwei. In short, there were rumors and different opinions, but few people knew the specific truth.
However, when Qiu Fengsheng joined Suomingfu, he made a contribution, which directly improved the strength of Suomingfu by several levels.
It can be said that Qiu Fengsheng has made indelible contributions to Suoming Mansion's current scale.
"Shut up?"
Zhao Qingmei sneered, "Does he still need to retreat?"
Everyone in the world knows how Sun Xiu broke through as a master. After exhausting all his potential, he will not only be enslaved, but it will be very difficult for him to reach the realm of a second-qi master in his life.
Duanmu Xinghua said in a low voice: "Master, it seems that this person is playing tricks on the Luosu tribe."
Zhao Qingmei nodded, "Since the matter has been investigated clearly, Sect Master Duanmu can get up and go to the Russell Clan tomorrow, but please be careful when going to the Russell Clan this time."
Duanmu Xinghua clasped his fists, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and said: "Don't worry, the leader, I am not old yet."
Zhao Qingmei said with a smile: "At that time, let Qiu Rong and my husband go together, just in time for Qiu Rong to go to the extremely inflamed land to undo the poison of ice soul in her body."
Duanmu Xinghua frowned slightly, "This..."
Going to the Luosu family this time is extremely dangerous. At that time, they may have to face two masters of the same spirit. Duanmu Xinghua may not be able to pull out his hand to protect this little doctor.
The most important thing is that there may be other twists and turns in this, it would not be beautiful to hurt this little doctor.
Zhao Qingmei smiled and said, "Sect Master Duanmu, don't worry."
"My subordinate understands."
Hearing Zhao Qingmei's words, Duanmu Xinghua's heart shuddered.
Zhao Qingmei's words clearly contained deep meaning, could it be that she...
"My husband can't live without personal care."
Zhao Qingmei glanced casually with her beautiful eyes, then fell into deep thought.
Hearing this, Tan Yun paused the movements of his hands and mouth, and looked at Zhao Qingmei with a pair of big eyes.
Could it be that the leader intends to make himself the uncle's maid?
Zhao Qingmei glanced at Yu Qiurong, and said, "Qiu Rong, when your injury recovers, you can stay with your husband."
"Master, if I'm not by your side, who will take care of you?"
Yu Qiurong said hurriedly when she heard this.
She has always been Zhao Qingmei's personal maid, and now she is asked to take care of a man. Although this man is the leader's husband, she is somewhat unwilling.
Tan Yun also blinked, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Sister Qiu Rong doesn't know how to take care of men..."
Zhao Qingmei glanced at Tan Yun who was sitting in the corner, and said with a light smile, "I think Tan Yun is fine, so let her follow me."
"I!?"
Tan Yun was stunned, he forgot to chew the pastry in his mouth, and his expression was a little dazed, she didn't understand why Zhao Qingmei valued her so much all of a sudden.
I remember when I went to Dayan for the first time, Zhao Qingmei didn't want her to follow her, for fear that she would show her feet.
If she had a choice, she would prefer to stay by An Jing's side, but unfortunately she has no choice.
Zhao Qingmei said: "This matter is settled like this."
Mu Xiaoyun and Duanmu Xinghua looked at each other, they were both women, they naturally understood in their hearts that the leader transferred Yu Qiurong to the little doctor's side, maybe there was a deep meaning in it.
Yu Qiurong sat down and thought about it carefully, as if she understood Zhao Qingmei's intention.
After about half a cup of tea, Zhao Qingmei smiled lightly and said, "Mu Shouzai, I remember you said this morning that you still have something to do, so let's deal with it first, don't waste time."
"The subordinates know."
Mu Xiaoyun stood up, cupped her fists, turned and left the theater.
Duanmu Xinghua looked at Mu Xiaoyun's back, and said: "This Mu Xiaoyun does have some talents, but the only pity is that he is short of entering the teaching, and he has not achieved an inch of merit so far."
The smile on Zhao Qingmei's face deepened, "It's up to her whether she can make meritorious deeds."
Dongluoguan, in another courtyard.
An Jing was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and the "Anonymous Heart Sutra" was running.
After reaching the master level, one can extract the aura of heaven and earth, and then absorb it directly. However, the speed of refining the aura of heaven and earth is extremely slow. Generally, a master of Qi will need half a year or even a year to extract a ray of aura of heaven and earth according to the cultivation method.
But the "Anonymous Heart Sutra" can directly absorb the aura of heaven and earth in the air, which is several times faster than ordinary masters refining it by themselves.
In addition, An Jing's root bones have been completely changed, and the efficiency of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely high. Even so, it still cannot compare with the speed of double cultivation with Zhao Qingmei for the first time.
Directly from Yipin to the realm of human flower, that is the real rapid progress.
"call……"
After half an hour, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a foul breath.
"After reaching the realm of the master, the improvement is indeed much slower. If you follow this speed, it may take a few years to reach the second qi."
Even after practicing the peerless martial art of the "Wuming Heart Sutra", I still feel that my progress in cultivation is very slow.
At this time, there were footsteps outside the courtyard.
Soon the voice of poison king Liu Simiao came from outside the door.
"Brother An, are you here?"
"coming."
An Jing restrained all his breath, slowly opened the door and walked out.
Outside the door were Liu Simiao and Lin Tianhai, the head of the Azure Dragon Seat.
An Jing smiled and said, "So it's Senior Liu and Senior Lin. I don't know what's the reason for your sudden visit?"
Poison King Liu Simiao usually develops poisons in his poison cave in the Demon Cult, and rarely haunts, and Lin Tianhai is also a busy person, and the duty of the Azure Dragon Seat is to be responsible for the safety of the Demon Cult leader.
I came to see him today, thinking there was something wrong.
"I'm mainly here to see Dr. An this time."
Lin Tianhai smiled, and said: "I heard that Dr. An's medical skills are excellent, but his martial arts are not satisfactory. If this is the case, it is better to learn some poisonous arts and martial arts from the Poison King, so that he has enough ability to protect himself."
The Poison King's poison art is superb, and his cultivation is naturally not bad. With a first-rank cultivation and a full body of poison art, even an ordinary master of the earth flower realm would not dare to underestimate him.
Putting it above the rivers and lakes, it can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of a master. If the leader's man inherits the ability of the poisonous king, it can be regarded as a good talk.
Liu Simiao stroked his beard and nodded, "As long as Brother An is willing to learn, I am willing to teach you all."
An Jing pondered for a while, and said, "Actually, I prefer to learn swordsmanship compared to poisonous arts."
fencing! ?
Lin Tianhai and Liu Simiao looked at each other, and then they both frowned.
"Brother An, you don't know something."
Liu Simiao hesitated for a moment, and said: "Sword master killing requires a lot of actual combat to learn, this thing, and it takes a lot of mind and time, and"
Speaking of this, Liu Simiao didn't speak any more.
Lin Tianhai said straightforwardly: "Learning swordsmanship is extremely demanding of qualifications. Some people have practiced for several years and can barely reach the first level of entry. Yi Daoyun, the head of the White Tiger Seat of my Demon Sect, is a swordsmanship genius. He has practiced for more than 40 years so far. You have achieved the reputation of Sword Immortal, if you want to make achievements in this respect, it may be too late now."
"You are proficient in medical skills, and you are also extremely fast at learning poison techniques. With Brother Liu's guidance, you may not have the opportunity to surpass Brother Liu in the future."
Liu Simiao nodded. Anjing's medical skills are so high, and his talent in poison techniques must not be bad.
After all, there are many connections between medicine and poison.
