"Yes, please, girl. I would like to ask, how should I call the girl?"
"Cold affection."
"May I ask who your respected master is?"
"The Lord of the Inner Palace, Leng Lu."
"ah?"
Du Jun was sweating in the ice and snow, but he was carried away before he could react.
All the way up, it floated to the snow peak and into the courtyard of the palace owner of the inner palace.
There is no door or walk-in, just climb over the wall and go in.
…
There are no houses in the courtyard. The houses are in the mountain walls. To be precise, they are cave walls.
There are three floors in total. A young woman is warming herself over a fire in a big hole on the first floor, roasting sweet potatoes on skewers with a poker.
"Master, people have brought it, and the sweet potatoes are roasted again."
"I know, I know everything."
The young woman came out with roasted sweet potatoes. She had a gray-black face and was really unkempt.
Du Jun was stunned. Is the master of Lengmei Palace so virtuous?
Leng Xuan, the master of Lengmei Palace, gave the sweet potatoes to Leng Qing, "By the way, do you want to eat it? It's hot."
He curled his lips coldly and said, "Definitely don't do it. It will make your stomach hurt if you eat it. Otherwise, master, you can eat it by yourself."
"Ah? Well..." Leng Xuan, the master of Lengmei Palace, was embarrassed and scratched his head with a black hand. No wonder he was like that.
"Okay then, just pretend it never happened." Leng Xuanzhen, the master of Lengmei Palace, felt a ball of sword energy erupting from his wrist.
The sweet potatoes roasted on the poker suddenly shattered into powdery residue and floated away in the mountain wind.
The poker was not damaged at all, it was still the same.
Du Jun now believed that this was the palace master of Lengmei Palace, so he quickly put down his baggage and dressed to be present.
"Du Jun, the deacon of the outer palace, pays homage to the palace master."
"No need to be formal."
"yes."
"I'm here to ask you to take me down the mountain with you?"
Lengqing asked first, "Why?"
"I want you to be the future palace master of Lengmei Palace..."
Du Jun was so frightened that his heart beat wildly, causing the master and apprentice to look sideways, but they didn't look much.
"Then I won't be the palace master, okay?"
Leng Xuan, the master of Lengmei Palace, was happy, "Okay, you pick one on the mountain, and if you win, you can take it as your own."
Lengqing was annoyed, "You bullied me for being young, give me another twenty years, and I will definitely win."
"I will say this twenty years later. In short, you are the most outstanding disciple of my Lengmei Palace in thirty years."
He said coldly: "Master, your ability to tell lies is getting better and better. For the past fifteen years, I have been my disciple for this generation, okay!"
"That's because you are so talented that you don't even need to go out to find disciples."
"That's because you are lazy. As far as I know, there have been no new disciples in the inner palace since thirty years ago. By sixteen years ago, when you carried me up the mountain, I was the only one!"
Leng Xing, the master of Lengmei Palace, was embarrassed again and scratched his head, "Haha, is that so?"
"If you don't tell me, I will forget it."
"By the way, have you remembered it wrong? You are only seventeen years old. How could you know what happened thirty years ago?"
Lengqing said angrily: "Master, let alone uncle, master and grandmaster are not dead yet!"
Leng Xing, the master of Lengmei Palace, suddenly laughed, "Qing'er, look, you know these things on the mountain better than I do. If you don't want to be the future palace master, who will?"
Lengqing is very weak, "Is this how you become the Palace Master of Lengmei Palace?"
Leng Xuan, the master of Lengmei Palace, said plausibly, "Anyway, as the master of the palace, I have decided that if you can beat me, you don't have to act inappropriately. If you can't beat me, you have to submit obediently."
Lengqing snorted, "Huh, when you get too old, I will definitely be able to defeat you."
Leng Xing, the master of Lengmei Palace, was not angry, "You have waited a long time. There are many old guys on this mountain who have lived to be 120 years old, and I think I can live to be 150 years old."
Leng Qing was furious, "Then why did you pass the position of palace master to me? You can work until you are one hundred and fifty years old!"
"Who said I want to pass the throne to you? I just want you to go down the mountain and travel around the world."
"Don't go!"
"As the future palace master, you must experience it."
"Qingqing is waiting here."
Leng Xing, the master of Lengmei Palace, said sternly: "Qing'er, there are three kinds of swordsmanship, external sword energy, internal sword intention, and the most important thing is the heart of the sword. You have been on the mountain since you were a child, and you have most often gone down the mountain to play...
"
"You know this?"
"Of course I know. Everyone has curiosity. If you go down and come up again, it means that your heart is on the mountain. That's why you didn't find another disciple later."
"Making excuses for laziness."
"In short, the small town at the foot of the mountain is no match for Jianghu. If you want to be stronger, you have to go around and realize it. If you can see through everything in the world, your sword will naturally become stronger."
"That's a good reason." Lengqing was moved, "But why is it now?"
Leng Xuan, the master of Lengmei Palace, said with a smile: "Recent information, I heard that the court and the world are very lively now."
"The emperor is mentally retarded and started fighting with gangs."
"What is Jianghu? Jianghu is a place of endless killing.
"Once the imperial court falls into it, it will only lead to bloodshed and chaos."
"And this time the imperial court is really in trouble, because the emperor underestimated the strength and power of the Tsing Yi Sect, and underestimated the strength and ambition of Zhou Wuming, the leader of the Tsing Yi Sect."
"The most interesting thing about this is that the emperor has no idea that the leader of the Tsing Yi Sect, Zhou Wuming, is just like him. He is also a top master who hides his true strength. He is just pretending to be a top master."
Du Jun was stunned, while Lengqing was curious, "Master, how do you know their strength?"
"I visited the capital many years ago and saw the current emperor Duanmu Huan. Besides, if he takes so many tonics, he can become a top master no matter how much he piles them up."
"Oh, what about Zhou Wuming, the leader of the Tsing Yi Sect?"
"A few years ago, he felt that he had achieved great success in martial arts. He secretly came up here and hid in the snow, just above, to watch me teach you how to practice swordsmanship. He wanted to secretly learn the true art of Leng Mei Palace."
"What else is happening? Why didn't I know?"
"You were still young then."
"Okay, then what?"
"Leng Mei Palace actually doesn't have any real skills, but I think he is in the way. After all, I am a woman when I say this, and he is a man. The most important thing is that my master is laughing at me, which is really annoying."
"What are you laughing at?"
"This has nothing to do with you. Anyway, I called him out and gave him a sword. He ran away and I was too lazy to chase him."
"He's hurt?"
"Nonsense, if I hurt his body, he would still run away."
"That's the sword intention. Master, are you sure he's well now? Can he fight with the emperor?"
Leng Xuan, the master of Lengmei Palace, nodded, "It must be fine. I was using Feixue Sword Intent, which is of the water type."
"And the internal energy he practices is of the type of wood energy. When wood energy meets water energy, if there is too much water, it will corrode the wood, and if there is too much wood, it will merge with the water."
"Given his status, it is not difficult to get some qi-tonifying medicine. Maybe he will be fine soon after he comes down from the mountain.
"It has been so long. Even if it cannot be fused, it must have been excreted long ago."
Leng Qing sighed: "That's it. I don't know if I am his opponent."
