Sword of Coming

A total of seven wells were dug next to the blacksmith shop. The water in the wells is sweet and the air-conditioning is strong.

It is rumored that Master Ruan, who once lived in Qilong Lane for a period of time, is an immortal who can make swords, and even the court respects him very much. The official of the Ministry of Rites and Mr. Xiao Wu have both visited in person. Therefore, Master Ruan's identity is not simple and cannot be faked. Many people wanted to put their children into the blacksmith shop, but unfortunately they were no longer hiring. However, Master Ruan once went to the town to buy wine and selected two children to be apprentices. The next day, the wine shop was overcrowded and everyone was busy. It was the adults and elders carrying their own children. The problem was that no one really bought the wine. They were all eagerly waiting for Master Ruan to take a fancy to whom. The children did not care about their future, they would run around and make a lot of noise.

In fact, before the appearance of the county magistrate Wu Yuan, the town only knew that he was a citizen of Dali, and that the dragon kiln was used to bake porcelain for the family of Emperor Dali, and that was all. The rest of the people were not known at all. The circulation of people in the town was very small and did not exist at all. Things like visiting relatives, going on study tours, and marrying far away from home are not taught in books or mentioned by the elders. This has been the case for generations. People from the four surnames and ten clans who know some inside stories dare not reveal the secrets.

Those lucky ones who were chosen by their natal porcelain were able to go out and enjoy the great rivers and mountains outside. Before the Lizhu Cave sky shattered and fell, they had no chance to return home in glory. This was one of the rules established by the saints from all directions in the town in the early years.

Now according to the notices posted by the county government and the explanations of literate people, I know that it was because the mountain roads in Longquan County were too steep. Now the court has made great efforts to open the roads. It is for the purpose of opening up mountains and giving those mountain tops to someone. At the same time, a group of people headed by the officials of the county government office began to explain various rules to the people in the jurisdiction, how to get along with outsiders,

For example, they are not allowed to point at strangers randomly, children are not allowed to bump into pedestrians on the street, and they are absolutely not allowed to touch the horses of strangers without permission, etc. If any disputes arise, people must report the truth to the Longquan County Government and are not allowed to make their own decisions. The government will deal with it impartially.

The four surnames and ten tribes did not show too much enthusiasm for this, and they did not mean to help the county government to do anything they could. They mostly just watched with cold eyes. As for whether they were waiting to see the county government make a joke, only Wu Yuan and those old foxes My stomach is clear.

Ruan Xiu, who grew up in the Fengxue Temple, the ancestral home of the military family, was not deeply touched by the huge changes in the town, or in other words, he did not care.

Ever since she met a certain dwarf winter melon, she had been in a depressed mood.

The arrogant woman went to Chen Ping'an's house in a big way, and broke the copper locks on the courtyard door and the house door. When she was cleaning the two houses, she happened to bump into the man who was going to change them. Ruan Xiu was so angry that she raised her eyebrows and ran up to reason with her. Those people seemed to know her identity and apologized respectfully. But who is the culprit behind the scenes? If you pretend to be Miss Ruan, you can beat us to death. Ruan Xiu asked them to hand over the old lock and the new key. When they returned to the blacksmith shop, they met the short winter melon. How dare she still have the nerve to smile and say that she was not careful. The copper lock was broken.

Ruan Xiu also hired people to repair an uninhabited dilapidated house in Mubo Alley as agreed. The roof collapsed with a big hole, the beams were rotten, and the red paint was peeling off. Ruan Xiu asked the bricklayers who came from small towns to carefully repair and add bricks and tiles. In the end, he felt uneasy and watched them work for a long time.

Then there are the adjacent New Year's Shop and Caotou Shop, both of which are named under Chen Ping'an's name. The old clerks in the two time-honored shops have gone out of business, so they have to hire other clerks. She does not dare to choose some slippery people. So he asked the people in his sword shop to recommend some women and girls who were honest but clever to help with the business.

The New Year's Eve shop continues to sell all kinds of cakes and snacks, while the Caotou shop continues to sell miscellaneous items, including cultural toys, Qinggong, Guqin, calligraphy and painting, and all kinds of things.

As long as the sword shop is not busy, Ruan Xiu will lie on the counter of a certain shop, lost in thought. Most of the time, most of the day will pass by like this. There was no need for her to solicit business, and she was not good at bargaining with others. In fact, these two shops belonged to Chen Ping'an's family. The girl in Tsing Yi wished that a piece of pastry could be sold for a few taels of silver, but she was a simple-minded girl after all. She was embarrassed to do this, but she was hesitant to help him find a few people who knew how to listen and help the shop make more money, but she was afraid that he would not like such people when he returned to his hometown.

Because he's not that kind of person.

Even pastries are not that greedy of a girl, so her originally round chin gradually became a bit pointy.

Like a lotus showing its sharp corners, it is fresh and moving.

Ruan Qiong mentioned it several times that if she felt that the town was too boring, she could go to Shenxiu Mountain and Hengshan Peak for a walk. The scenery was pretty good. It's just that the girl couldn't bring herself to do it and kept procrastinating, so Ruan Qiong gave up. But the more confused the girl became, the more concentrated and energetic she became when forging iron and swords, and her realm climbed up even more rapidly. This made Ruan Qiong feel relieved. Since cultivation is a good thing, he would not point fingers.

Because the grave of an ordinary person has long been covered with green grass, and even the hair of his descendants has turned gray, but a person of the same age who was once an accomplished practitioner is still as beautiful as a woman.

Ruan Xiu has been even more upset in the past two days, because every time she comes to the shop to be in a daze, someone will disturb her.

He was a young man with a scarlet flute on his waist. He wore brocade clothes and a jade belt, and a purple gold crown on his head. He looked very arrogant, but she had forgotten what he looked like, or she had never seen him seriously.

Because Ruan Xiu has seen too many people like this since she was young. Because her father is Ruan Qiong, who is not only a great monk of Fengxue Temple, but also the leading swordsmith in Dongbaopingzhou.

However, after arriving here, Ruan Qiong told her that he had already informed the Dali court that within a short period of time, Dali could not publicize it to the outside world or use his golden name of Ruan Qiong to plan anything. Once he, Ruan Qiong, finds out, it can be discussed, but Ruan Qiong will not guarantee the outcome. After Ruan Qiong fell into the territory of Da Li under the cave world, the fighting not only caused the livers and gallbladders of the surrounding monks to burst. In fact, even the Da Li court and the forces further up the mountain had experienced the temper of the saint Ruan Master. No one Those who are willing to risk their lives to reason with Ruan Qiong and dare to do so will either be beaten to death by Master Ruan on his own territory, or they will be dragged into the realm and beaten to death in a fair and just manner.

There is no need for Ruan Qiong to say it directly. The handful of real big shots in Da Li actually knew very well that the true villain of this saint who broke away from Fengxue Temple and established his own sect was his daughter who was recognized as having great talent. . If it weren't for Ruan Xiu, Ruan Qiong would never have left Fengxue Temple and taken over Lizhu Cave from Qi Jingchun, because at that time no one would regard being in charge of this small cave as a good job. The realm is suppressed by heaven, and it is the ultimate to be able to maintain the realm without falling and the body without decay.

Of course, Qi Jingchun is an exception, a big surprise.

Since Ruan Qiong's lifeline is his daughter, Da Li is now deliberately helping to keep it secret and will never dare to mention Ruan Xiu's name to the outside world easily.

So some guy who didn't know what was going on accidentally wandered into the grass-top shop in Qilong Lane of the small town. When he saw the girl with the ponytail, he was immediately shocked. He thought that he was just a girl from a shop, and his identity was too much. He wasn't much higher. With his looks, conversation, and background, couldn't he be so easy to catch that she would fall in love with him at first sight and be willing to be the slave with red sleeves that added fragrance, and the maid with bare hands?

But after all, he has a family mission and came here to buy mountains. Moreover, the town is now hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Not to mention the aloof and grumpy military sage, people from the Dali Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian are also there. It is said that even the county magistrate is there. The proud disciple of Grand Master Da Li, so this young master followed his father's instructions and went to a small town with his tail between his legs. If he really got into trouble, his family wouldn't even collect the corpse. Therefore, he would never dare to act as recklessly as he did within the territory under his own jurisdiction. Besides, robbing civilian girls and so on, although he was familiar with it, it was really boring.

This self-proclaimed romantic young man probably never imagined that that silly-looking lazy girl had the surname Ruan.

He crossed the threshold again today, pretending to select his favorite items from the rows of treasure racks, and then pretended to bargain with a woman. Finally, he smiled and said hello to the girl in Tsing Yi who looked like a little shopkeeper, and raised his hand gently. The attractive writing stone in his hand was one hand high, but it had the shape of a beautiful woman's waist. It was priced at thirty taels of silver. He asked the girl if it could be cheaper. Thirty taels of silver was too expensive.

In fact, to him, what does thirty taels of gold mean?

Ruan Xiu didn't even raise his head and said calmly: "No."

The man pretended to be cool and shrugged, saying that he had bought the stone. Finally, he picked two more items and asked the girl if she had bought so many things, should they be cheaper? And since he would live in the town permanently, he would definitely be a repeat customer, so he would frequent the business... Anyway, there was a lot of verbosity. Ruan Xiu at the counter was upset when he heard it, but he still didn't look up and said calmly: "You can buy things, take photos." Just pay according to the price and say less.”

The young master smiled instead of being angry. Hey, couldn't you tell that he was still a rouge horse with a chaste temperament?

He really wasn't angry, he just felt that his desire to win was aroused. The purchase of the mountain was already a done deal, and he was just showing off for a wealthy family, so why not have some harmless fun? So he asked the woman to pack the three things, and before leaving, he smiled and said, "Girl, I will come again tomorrow."

Ruan Xiu finally raised her head and looked at him for the first time, "Don't come here again."

The young man stared at the girl with interest. It was a face that he liked more and more the more he looked at it. It was definitely not comparable to the vulgar faces at home, so he smiled and said: "Why?"

Ruan Xiu's face was calm, "This shop is opened by my... friend, so I can decide which guests are welcome to come in and which guests are not welcome to be an eyesore."

The man pointed at his nose and his smile grew wider, "Am I an eyesore? Where do you start talking about this, girl?"

Ruan Xiu lay down on the counter table again and waved, "Go away, I don't want to talk to people like you."

Standing outside the shop was a tall, muscular man with a displeased and angry face, looking coldly at the ungrateful city girl.

The young man smiled and waved to the guard, telling him not to scare his plate of food. After paying the bill, he walked towards the door without forgetting to look back and say: "See you tomorrow."

Ruan Xiu sighed, stood up, walked around the counter, and said to the guy who had just stepped over the threshold and turned around to stand, "I advise you to listen to others more in the future."

The young man looked at the girl's stunning and graceful figure and sighed that he was really lucky this time.

As for what the girl said, he naturally heard it, but he didn't pay attention to it, let alone take it seriously.

The guard's body suddenly tensed up, his scalp was numb, and he was about to make a move when he saw the girl in green and his young master rushing towards the wall opposite the Dragon Riding Alley.

He watched helplessly as the young master held his forehead with the girl's hand, and finally his entire head and back were embedded in the wall.

The young man lost consciousness instantly, bleeding from all his orifices, and a huge spider web was ripped out of the wall behind him.

The girl said to the man who rolled his eyes and fainted: "I will listen to my advice in the future. Do you understand? Huh? Still not?"

The girl raised her leg high and kicked out quickly.

The already extremely pitiful young master's body and the wall were dented together, which was very miserable.

The girl retracted her legs, turned around and walked towards the shop, and said to the tall servant who did not dare to move at all: "If you carry him away, remember to repair the wall."

The servant who was in the fifth realm of martial arts swallowed his saliva and did not dare to say even a harsh word.

He is just a personal guard on the surface, the real pillar, and is worshiped by a family with a foreign surname. Now he is no different from many forces. He went to the mountains and followed behind the Minister of Rites of Dali and Mr. Qingwu, the Qintian Supervisor. To maintain a relationship with the Da Li court was also a symbolic visit to the two mountains purchased with huge sums of money.

It's not that the fifth level martial artist is a bad guy and can be bullied by anyone, it's that the ponytailed girl's attacks are too terrifying.

You must know that your young master has already reached the fourth floor. Although he is not as good as the real geniuses of the Immortal Family Mansion, as long as he can finally reach the fifth floor, it is equivalent to possessing the qualifications to dominate the country. After all, in a country where martial arts are numerous, On the Li territory, Qi practitioners were much more popular than warriors. Therefore, those two hills will be the land of Longxing for my young master.

The fifth-level martial artist didn't bother to announce his family status and frighten the ruthless girl. He quickly flew to the wall opposite the alley. After a moment, the man with red eyes suddenly turned around, his face was ashen, and he cursed: "Little bitch ! Do you know that you have destroyed the foundation of my young master’s cultivation?!"

Ruan Xiu had already entered the shop. Hearing the words, he stopped but did not turn around. He just turned around and said, "I know, I deliberately didn't kill him so that he could suffer the consequences."

That warrior was almost going crazy. Isn't this little girl a lunatic with a broken brain?

The girl smiled and said, "You scold me, but I won't argue with you, because I will settle accounts with your family. According to your routine, you usually beat the younger ones and get the older ones, so you can call that guy's elder friend Let them come over and cause trouble for me. Don't worry, I'll wait for you here and won't go anywhere. If no one comes to seek revenge or apologize, make an agreement in advance and don't take it for granted. Didn't happen."

The girl thought for a while, "If your ancestors or family helpers can really defeat me, then I will also move my father out. There is no other way, I only have this one relative."

The girl suddenly became happy for no apparent reason. She smiled so much that she had to purse her lips to prevent herself from appearing so happy.

Now she seems to have an extra friend, the owner of this shop.

The warrior looked at the girl's "weird" smile with dumbfounded eyes, and was sure that she was really crazy.

He did not dare to stay too long. The top priority was to preserve his young master's cultivation as much as possible. He carried his young master on his back and ran away in Qilong Lane. He could become a personal guard for important people. After all, he was not a fool. He ran a distance After that, he immediately shouted loudly to someone: "My young master is from the Chu family in Fengcheng, and he is an honored guest of your Dali! My ancestor is the deputy sect master of Raling Mountain!"

But nothing happened.

The warrior's heart suddenly felt cold and his body was filled with chills.

Those Da Li spies lurking in the dark chose not to save him!

This is absolutely unreasonable and against the rules!

A warrior is like a man in mourning. Could it be that his son has got into trouble with someone he cannot afford to offend? But didn't our ancestors clearly say that, excluding the two saints, the local gangsters who have been entrenched in the small town for generations have not achieved much? How come a girl from a small shop has such amazing strength?

In the distance, a young man sat quietly on the wall that obscured his vision. He held his cheek with one hand. After yawning, he sneered: "I, Da Li, really think I am afraid of you, a Fengcheng Chu family."

Finally, he looked away and looked at the shop. The girl behind the counter could no longer be seen. He chuckled and said, "She is indeed the most talkative girl in Fengxue Temple according to legend."

He quickly put away his smile and continued to monitor the surroundings. If there was any sign of trouble, he had the power to mobilize all the nearby Dali soldiers to kill people regardless of the cost or consequences, no matter who the other party was.

But at the same time, he could also guess that this turmoil would not end here, and might involve His Majesty the Emperor, and of course the Saint Ruan Qiong. Because the Fengcheng Chu family could take this matter to the forefront, make a big fuss, and use the situation and public opinion to oppress the Dali court. Dali is now at the peak of its power and has nothing to fear. It has always attached great importance to the intellectuals' opinions. This is the case for both the late emperor and the present majesty. They are very kind and tolerant of scholars.

The women and girls in the shop were all so frightened that they did not dare to breathe. How could you imagine that Xiu Xiu, a girl who is usually so good-tempered, would have such a side? Beat someone half to death as soon as you strike?

The girl lay on the counter and continued to be in a daze.

She suddenly remembered something and took out a small stone from the counter drawer and placed it on the table. Then the girl changed her posture, put her cheek on the table, stretched out her fingers and gently moved the stone, watching it roll around. .

Beautiful girl, beautiful and delicious.
