This is the most famous Green Lotus Lake in Guanggui City. When the lotus flowers are in full bloom, it provides a beautiful scene of "the lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely blue, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red."
Guanggui City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so even though it is noon, the weather does not feel hot at all. There is a cool breeze blowing by the lake, and people holding paper umbrellas can be seen everywhere. Not far away, there is a noisy market.
There is a buzz of people and a lot of people walking by.
There is a three-story restaurant next to the lake embankment, called Songbai Tower. It has an elegant environment and exquisite food and wine. It is the best restaurant in Guanggui City.
At this moment, Su Yi and Ning Caichen were sitting by the window on the third floor, tasting the most distinctive local food and wine while admiring the lotus flowers on the lake.
"Master, this small town has a pleasant climate and elegant scenery. It is really a good place for seclusion." Ning Caichen liked this place very much, "If possible, let me live here for the rest of my life!"
Su Yi took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "You are quite contented. Didn't you tell Xiaoqian when we were on the road a few days ago that you would take her to see all the scenery in the world?"
Ning Caichen paused when he heard the words, then scratched his head and said: "Master, Miss Xiaoqian told me that she only wants to serve you and does not consider matters of men and women... Please don't make such jokes in the future."
"I'm not a wealthy young man who doesn't touch the beauty of the world. What can I do to serve you?" Su Yi disagreed.
Compared to the two daughters Nie Xiaoqian and Fu Xiaozhuo, Su Yi admires Fu Xiaozhuo's slightly more extreme and direct temperament. Nie Xiaoqian is actually a bit soft and indecisive.
And Fu Xiaozhuo is very smart. Although Nie Xiaoqian is much higher than Fu Xiaozhuo in terms of spiritual talent and realm, it is Fu Xiaozhuo who has arranged everyone's food and daily life properly and orderly.
The only bad thing is that this woman is a little observant and a little submissive, unlike Nie Xiaoqian who is so generous.
Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian were originally a couple, and Su Yi did not want to break them up. However, the two did not experience the unforgettable love of life and death, and Nie Xiaoqian was rescued by Su Yi, so Nie Xiaoqian had no feelings for Ning Caichen at all.
Ning Caichen was a smart man, so of course he noticed this, and he noticed more keenly that Nie Xiaoqian was more interested in the master than himself, so of course he knew what he should do.
"Master, I'm serious. I only have respect for Miss Xiaoqian, and I would never dare to have any blasphemous thoughts. If you don't believe it, I can swear to you!" Ning Caichen said solemnly.
"Okay, okay, what about that?" Su Yi waved his hand wordlessly.
"Of course, as for..." Ning Caichen grunted, then suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "Master, are you still saying that it's not enough? Do you remember what Junior Brother Xiahou called Xiaoqian and Xiaozhuo when he knelt down to become his disciple?
Ahem..."
Ning Caichen cleared his throat, recalled the scene at that time and imitated: "Disciple Xiahou Fenglei paid homage to the master and the two master wives..."
As he said this, he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Master, the faces of the two girls were very red at that time! But they were only shy, but not angry, which shows the two girls' intentions..."
As he spoke, his tone became sour again, and he forced a smile and said, "Master, please don't let them down."
"Take care of yourself. You're so old and haven't even touched a woman's hand. How can you still have the nerve to protect someone else's match?" Su Yi glanced at him, "Xiahou Fenglei's son is already playing soy sauce, but you are still his senior brother.
"
"How can it be compared? Junior Brother Xiahou is almost forty years old, how old am I?" Ning Caichen said with a smile, "He even bullied me on the way to Guobei County before, but now he still pinches his nose and screams
My senior brother? Haha!"
The journey from Montenegro to Guanggui City lasted for more than a month. Not only was the mountainous and rugged area difficult to navigate, it was not a peaceful journey either. Not only did we have to deal with attacks from ferocious birds and beasts, but we also had to drive away those blind bandits and road bullies.
.
The junior brother Xiahou mentioned by Ning Caichen was actually an old acquaintance of Su Yi. This man was the strong man with a stomach who had attacked Su Yi in the ruined temple where Su Yi and Ning Caichen met.
That day, Xiahou Fenglei actually took a few moves from Su Yi. Although Su Yi was just attacking at will, he felt that it was quite difficult for the other party to do this, so he spared Xiahou Fenglei's life. Later, Xiahou met Ning Caichen again and met Ning Caichen.
After leaving Ning Caichen, although he made some sarcastic remarks, he threw Ning Caichen a steamed bun to satisfy his hunger, which shows that his nature is not bad.
Su Yi and his party met Xiahou Fenglei at the exit of the Black Wind Mountains. At that time, Xiahou Fenglei was fighting with a group of mountain bandits. He was fighting against many, and he was not at all inferior. He was very brave.
Unfortunately, the leader of the opponent mastered a very strange sword technique. As soon as this person made a move, Xiahou Fenglei was immediately paralyzed.
Su Yi and his party happened to pass by the scene at this time. After he recognized Xiahou Fenglei and heard Ning Caichen talk about a steamed bun, he gave some advice to Xiahou Fenglei on the spot.
The latter also recognized Su Yi as an expert in the ruined temple. He was very convinced of Su Yi's instructions and followed his instructions. Sure enough, he killed the bandit leader in three moves.
After Xiahou Fenglei was rescued, he immediately knelt on the ground and thanked him for saving his life and teaching his art. He was not annoyed by being teased by Ning Caichen. Instead, he seriously told Ning Caichen that you are the apprentice of your benefactor. If we meet again in the future, you will definitely repay him with your life.
.
When Ning Caichen heard this, he immediately became embarrassed and asked Xiahou Fenglei what he was going to do. The latter replied: He made an appointment with a swordsman named Yan Chixia for a sword duel.
It was this sentence that aroused Su Yi's interest.
After inquiring, Su Yi found out that this Xiahou Fenglei did not know the identity of Yan Chixia as a cultivator, but he had a conflict with Yan Chixia once. The latter did not show his cultivation as a cultivator, and only used secular swordsmanship to deal with Xiahou Fenglei.
But he still killed Xiahou Fenglei and was defeated.
Yan Chixia, a pure-hearted person, proudly told Xiahou Fenglei that she was the best swordsman in the world, which made Xiahou Fenglei very unconvinced. They agreed to compete in swordsmanship once a year in the future. Yan Chixia agreed, and from then on, the two of them competed every year.
Tradition, it’s a pity that Xiahou Fenglei never won once.
It's just that this person has a tenacious character and becomes more courageous the more he is frustrated. He never gets discouraged. Even if he knows he can't beat her, he still has to work hard to practice swordsmanship before competing with Yan Chixia.
"I have a set of swordsmanship. As long as you practice it well, you will definitely be better than Yan Chixia. Do you want to learn it?" Su Yi asked with a smile.
He could imagine that Yan Chixia deliberately concealed her identity as a cultivator, perhaps out of a desire to play in the world of mortals.
The practice of secular martial arts by a practitioner is no different from cheating. The spiritual awareness of a practitioner is outstanding. The "move with the intention first" that can only be done by a martial arts master is just a basic operation for the practitioner. Therefore, normally, Xiahou Fenglei is a practitioner.
I will never be able to beat Yan Chixia in my life.
But there are exceptions to everything. In the world of martial arts, only speed is unbreakable. If the speed reaches the extreme, the spiritual awareness of the practitioner will not be able to solve it.
Xiahou Fenglei is a pure swordsman, and his concentration on swordsmanship puts Su Yi to shame. His temperament also makes Su Yi interested in nurturing him. More importantly, Su Yi is looking forward to Xiahou Fenglei learning his sword.
Fazai went to defeat Yan Chixia.
Yan Chixia, who was playing a game in Hongchen, was played by Hongchen. The expression on the bearded face at that time must have been wonderful...
It's interesting to think about it.
How could Xiahou Fenglei be unwilling?
What he has been thinking about the most these days are the moves Su Yi used to defeat him. Now that Su Yi is willing to teach him, he can only ask for it.
Immediately, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his master: "Disciple Xiahou Fenglei, pay homage to the master, pay homage to the two master wives, and pay homage to the senior brother!"
When the two girls heard this, their faces immediately turned red with embarrassment, and Su Yi was also a little bit dumbfounded.
"I only teach you a set of swordsmanship. After teaching you, you can go your own way. What achievements and fate you have in the future are all up to you, so I will only accept you as a registered disciple." Su Yi said, "But I have
A request."
"Master, please tell me, even if the disciple goes through fire and water, he will definitely do it!" Xiahou Fenglei said firmly.
"After you defeat Yan Chixia, you must tell him that the person who taught you this swordsmanship is named Su." Su Yi raised the corners of his mouth and said leisurely.
The image of Yan Chixia jumping into a rage seemed to have appeared in his mind.
"Hey, the two girls are back!" Ning Caichen suddenly pointed out the window and shouted.
Su Yi retracted his thoughts and looked around, and sure enough he saw two girls, Nie Xiaoqian and Fu Xiaozhuo, walking through the busy city and heading this way.
The two girls had outstanding looks, so they both wore loose clothes and hats to cover their faces to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But people in the world tend to think that the more you hide something, the more people want to see it, so wherever they go, they attract a lot of attention.
"Master, do you think that besides us, there will be other cultivators who choose to live in seclusion in the market like us?" Ning Caichen asked suddenly.
"Of course, there are them here, and there are quite a lot of them." Su Yi smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"Is there any?" Ning Caichen was startled.
"Of course." Su Yi said calmly, "Although they seem to have practiced a very advanced breath-containing technique, and no aura is exposed, the smell of practitioners in them cannot be hidden from me."
Su Yi's words were not bragging. These people might be able to hide this from ordinary practitioners, but they really couldn't hide it from him.
Firstly, Su Yi'er was very smart, and any small moves made by these people could not be hidden from him; secondly, he gradually discovered that his power of catching green was very sensitive to the fluctuations of spiritual energy, and his breath-condensing technique could hide his spiritual power and spiritual consciousness.
, but it cannot be concealed from the power of photography.
"Why can't I see it?" Ning Caichen stretched his neck and looked down at the entire market, but seeing the bustling crowd, he didn't feel anything unusual. He couldn't help but look confused.
"The third stall in the first alley to the east is the lady selling tofu; the second to last stall in the third alley is the long-faced man selling calligraphy and painting, and the tall man wielding a hammer in the blacksmith shop to the north..." Su
B casually mentioned three people, "I found eight practitioners in this market. These people should know each other. They also communicated with each other through gestures and specific sounds. Moreover, they have noticed us for a long time.
Already."
Ning Caichen was surprised and said nervously: "Master, who are these people? Will they be detrimental to us?"
"They are the indigenous people, and we are the outsiders. Maybe they are more worried that we will be harmful to them." Su Yi chuckled, "They must think that they are hiding and we are hiding, so we don't need to worry about them for now.
If Tsukuru doesn't notice anything unusual about them, just wait and see what happens."
Ning Caichen no longer felt as relaxed as before and frowned: "Master, there are so many cultivators hidden in ordinary people's markets. Is this normal?"
"Of course it's not normal, but since they were lurking here before we came here, it shouldn't have anything to do with us." Su Yi said leisurely, "In short, it's best for everyone to stay out of trouble. If there is really trouble, there is nothing we can do.
We can't just shrink away and avoid it just because we're afraid of trouble that hasn't happened yet, right?"
Ning Caichen nodded.
While talking, Nie Xiaoqian and Fu Xiaozhuo had already returned.
The two girls went upstairs with a thump thump thump, and they both said to each other: "Young Master, little Young Master."
Ning Caichen hurriedly stood up and returned the courtesy. Su Yi waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Come on, sit down and eat and talk."
"It's Young Master." Fu Xiaozhuo smiled brightly and pulled Nie Xiaoqian to sit down.
The two girls did not move Kuai Zi, but Fu Xiaozhuo said: "Master, Sister Xiaoqian and I have chosen three houses. The first one is in the south of the city. There are all deep houses and compounds. Our yard is the house of a run-down wealthy businessman.
, has been abandoned for more than two months, and is looking for a buyer; the second place is on the street of the City Lord's Mansion, which is the abandoned house of a prisoner. It has been abandoned for more than ten years. It is rumored that this house is haunted, so no one dares to live there; the last place
The house is a Taoist temple in the east of the city. There are only two Taoist priests, one big and one small. Because they want to go to Jiayuan City to join the big temple, they want to sell their small Taoist temple."
"Which one do you like more?" Su Yi asked casually.
"I like the deep courtyard in the south of the city, but Sister Xiaozhuo thinks that Taoist temple is better." Nie Xiaoqian said softly, "Sir, the environment of the courtyard in the south of the city is elegant and the furnishings are still very new. We can live in it without having to worry about taking care of it.
Moreover, this house is the largest and there is a pond in the backyard.”
"Although the Taoist temple is a little small, with only one main hall and two rows of monasteries, it is the cleanest." Fu Xiaozhuo said with a smile, "I know that the young master likes a quieter place. Although the house in the south of the city is nice, the neighbors are everywhere.
If we move here to the powerful people in this city, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to avoid being found by right and wrong."
"Why not choose that abandoned ghost house?" Ning Caichen asked curiously, "We are not afraid of ghosts."
"Young Master, that house has been in disrepair for a long time. If we want to live in it, it will take at least several months to repair it." Fu Xiaozhuo explained patiently.
"That won't work. We don't have that much time and energy to waste on such chores." Ning Caichen immediately shook his head and waved his hands after hearing this.
"Master, mansion or Taoist temple, which one do you choose?" Fu Xiaozhuo looked at Su Yi.
"Mansion." Su Yi said without hesitation, "How can we live in a Taoist temple? Do we have to dress up as Taoist priests and Taoist nuns? That would be weird. It's better to live in a house normally. As for the trouble, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as a worldly training.
.You two eat first, and after you finish, we will go to that mansion to see it together!"
"Yes, sir."
Su Yi made a decision, and naturally there was no dispute between the two women.
