Chapter 100: Howl of Zhu Yuan (1)
In the western suburbs of Guiping, in front of the Fairy Sword Hall.
If it weren't for witnessing this luxurious building with his own eyes, Pu Zixuan wouldn't know what a real "luxury mansion" is. The courtyard occupies a huge piece of land, which makes the surrounding houses look cramped. At first glance, it is about ten times the size of Wangyou Hall, and more than three or five times the size of Happy Mansion. No wonder a few days ago, when I was looking at Guiping City from afar on the Mount, there was such a building that stood out from the crowd.
I saw that the walls were all made of milky white stone bricks, and the gold-carved sword warrior made the swordsman move and move between the white stones. Just standing outside the door, he could feel a solemn atmosphere coming to his face, as if he was not in the same era as the swaying Qing Dynasty.
There were lion statues made of white stone on both sides of the door. Under such a mighty aura, Pu Zixuan's innate sense of superiority disappeared, and even the sound of knocking on the door became cautious, fearing that a rude person would make him look like a vulgar person.
Shaoqing, the door opened, and two guards in gray clothes looked at Pu Zixuan with majesty. One of them asked, "Who are you and what are you doing?"
Pu Zixuan bowed and responded respectfully: "Oh, I am from Lijiang, Yunnan. My surname is Pu Zixuan. I have long been honored by the Immortal Sword Hall. I came to see the head of Zhu Shixia and learn from his master."
The guard asked, "Who introduced you?"
Pu Zixuan said: "I was introduced by Su Sanniang, and I hope the two juniors of the gang will inform you."
The two guards met with their eyes, looked alert, and then laughed loudly. The guard pretended to be laughing and said, "Sunniang? Is it the woman Changhai in the long-haired army? Didn't she die long ago? How did she reincarnate and come to us?"
Pu Zixuan was stunned at first, and then thought of two possibilities. One was that Su Sanniang was hiding his name and his pseudonym Feng Yuliang was active as a purifier. Even the servants of the Immortal Sword Hall were hidden secretly; the other was that the All Immortal Sword Hall, including these two guards, also knew the truth about Su Sanniang. However, Guangxi is now under the rule of the Qing court, so naturally he cannot recognize the existence of "bandits" and "hair" to anyone. In either case, the reaction of these two people is reasonable.
Then, Pu Zixuan thought of Wu Youxiang once said that there was rumors that Su Sanniang had returned to the Immortal Sword Hall. Since Su Sanniang returned to Guangxi, she went straight to the Immortal Sword Hall. The rumor could only be heard from the Immortal Sword Hall, and the status of the rumor was not high. From this, it can be inferred that it should be the second situation.
So, Pu Zixuan winked at the two of them, coughed twice, and said seriously: "Oh, I'm wrong, it was Feng Yuliang who introduced me."
The two looked at each other again, then looked up and down with surprised eyes.
If you know that Feng Yuliang is Su Sanniang, there will be no one else except the Xianjian Hall and the very few generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This person must be his own.
The guard said, "Oh, it's Feng Yuliang. Please wait a moment and let me report to the master and ask if there is any of the apprentices."
Then, the guard left, and the other guard looked at Pu Zixuan vigilantly and stopped talking. After half an incense stick, the previous guard returned to the door and raised his hand to point the way: "Master Zhu agreed to you, please follow me."
As the guards walked into the mansion, the scene in front of him was extremely luxurious. In the middle of the spacious courtyard was a long corridor, decorated with rockery waterfalls on both sides. At the end of the corridor, the eaves of the pavilions and pavilions were tall, flying in the air like bird's beaks. Through a door, there was another corridor, which was twisted and turned, twisted and turned, as deep as a maze.
What is most unique is that no matter where, small-leaf red bean trees are always densely planted, with lush branches and leaves, and the shade crosses each other, even blocking six or seven parts of the sun.
There is no doubt that such a pattern is nothing more than to cover up the demonic aura in the hall and the breath of the purifying messenger. No wonder no matter how Chen Shuqing searched, he could not find any of Su Sanniang's breath.
...
"One, two, three, change the array!"
In another courtyard, a group of disciples dressed in gray clothes, holding wooden swords and posing in a lotus-like formation. Under the guidance of a teacher, they were training each move. The coach did not look old, let alone gray hair. I think it must be Zhu Shihua himself.
The guard who led the way respectfully shouted to the instructor, "Hello Brother Gu, Senior Brother," and did not stay for a long time, and continued to lead Pu Zixuan.
This instructor is Gu Xiangping, who fought against Qin Yong on the mountain road many days ago. At this time, he glanced at Pu Zixuan and said nothing more. He continued his strict teaching: "No, no, it's not fast enough, he's all slow and slow. If he meets a purifying messenger, how can he delay time?"
Pu Zixuan felt nervous, and he said awkwardly, and quickly left.
Finally arrived at the backyard, I saw an old man with white hair spreading over his head, squinting his eyes and hunching his back, leisurely watering a small-leaf red bean tree.
The guard brought Pu Zixuan to the old man and replied: "Master Zhu, the person has been brought here, the young man has said goodbye." After showing his salute, he quickly retreated.
Pu Zixuan thought in his heart that this old man was indeed extraordinary. He didn't even tie his braids in this place guarded by the Qing court. It seemed that he would either stay away from this mansion or the court could not do anything to him. He bowed and said, "Master Zhu, I have been honored to see you for a long time. I hope you can give me some advice."
Zhu Shihua turned around, squinted his eyes and glanced at Pu Zixuan, and asked, "What do you want to learn?"
Pu Zixuan was stunned and replied, "Ah? This... I am stupid and have a little knowledge of martial arts. I hope my seniors can give me some advice."
Zhu Shihua said slowly: "There are different projects for different tuition fees. Learn some bandage skills, one tael of silver; learn basic skills, ten taels of silver; if you want to learn unique swordsmanship, you need a hundred taels of silver; of course, if you join my church and use it for me, you can appropriately reduce the exemption depending on the situation..."
Pu Zixuan instantly recalled that Su Sanniang once said that this old man loved money as much as his life. It turns out that way today. It is natural that I have no problem with how much money I have. But joining this hall, I will be thousands of miles away from home and losing Xiaojiu. From then on, I will become an inconspicuous existence. Besides, how could I come to learn these things?
After saying that, Pu Zixuan used the power of purification, and his whole body was surrounded by a sky blue aura, and he said, "Senior, I'm here to learn this."
When Zhu Shihua saw that Pu Zixuan was a purifier, his eyes were suddenly wide open, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his tone became serious: "Oh oh oh, I remembered it. It was the descendant of Pu Songling introduced by Su Sanniang, hehe, I was disrespectful, I was disrespectful."
Pu Zixuan said: "That's right, the younger generation wants to learn what Su Sanniang has learned, and I hope the seniors will give you advice."
"Come on, let me see your ability." Before Zhu Shixia finished speaking, Pu Zixuan felt his toes off the ground, and his body quickly flew backwards and hit the courtyard wall. In front of him, Zhu Shixia's body was also surrounded by the sky blue purification power.
Zhu Shixiao shook her head and said, "If the enemy attacks, your reaction will probably be over."
Pu Zixuan calmed down and said, "I never thought of fighting with my senior!"
Zhu Shihua said: "Okay, then you stand firm and do it again... It's not like that, use the ability."
Seeing that this old man was unfathomable, Pu Zixuan thought that Chen Shuqing had absorbed the fragments of "Huanyue Jue" and increased his demonic power. Even if he was injured, he would save himself everywhere. If he did not make progress, he would be even more unable to raise his head. A flame suddenly ignited in his heart and shouted: "Starry Dragon King!"
The spiritual body of the Dragon King of Galaxy has appeared, making Pu Zixuan look more imposing. Zhu Shihua sighed: "If Su Sanniang said, it is the ability of the summoning system! It is worthy of being a descendant of Pu Songling. This posture is really a bit majestic! I also went out to practice a few days ago, so I just tried my legs and feet. Come on, don't show mercy!"
"Okay, then please forgive me for offending me!" Pu Zixuan rushed towards Zhu Shihua with a quick step, stretching out his dragon claws, and trying to take Zhu Shihua's head.
"Oh!" Zhu Shihua screamed, and took Pu Zixuan's blow on his head. He took a few steps back and covered his head and screamed.
Pu Zixuan was shocked and quickly stopped and said, "Senior... why don't you hide or block it?"
"I just want to see the results of my cultivation. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, continue."
There was another random attack, and Zhu Shihua was hit again and again, and was beaten to the point of being stumbled, screaming in pain, and there was nothing else except that the purifying power of the body was surrounded by it.
Pu Zixuan completely stopped and said disappointedly: "No more, it's boring for me to treat me like this."
Zhu Shixia asked with a smile: "Then tell me, how much success did you use?"
"Fifty percent."
"It seems that my cultivation results are pretty good. I can't count it. Even if you have ten successes, you can't beat me to death."
"Or why don't you give it a try." Pu Zixuan wanted to see Zhu Shihua's real ability, so he immediately improved his strength and used all his strength to open fire at Zhu Shihua, hoping to force him to take action.
This time, Zhu Shixia finally became serious and began to fight with Pu Zixuan. Zhu Shixia's figure was as lively as the wind, not like a person in his seventies at all. Wherever he got, he dissected Pu Zixuan's simple attacks one by one. Pu Zixuan didn't give in too much, one move after another, two huge purifying forces came back and forth in the courtyard, stirring the branches rustling, and the fallen leaves on the ground were also flying all over the sky.
After another storm-like attack failed, Pu Zixuan jumped to the distance, condensed the purifying power on the claws of the Dragon King, and released a qi to Zhu Shihua.
Zhu Shihua jumped up, and the energy hit a small-leaf red bean tree, and the trunk broke immediately.
As soon as Zhu Shihua landed, another ball of energy flew out of the air. This time he did not dodge and shouted: "Zhu Yuan's howl!"
A blue light flashed in Zhu Shihua's hand, and a giant sword appeared instantly! Zhu Shihua raised his sword and waved it to block the energy.
The Qi and the power changed their course instantly and flew towards the sky.
Seeing that Zhu Shixia finally used his purification ability, Pu Zixuan shouted: "I finally forced my senior to take action. Senior is the purification messenger of the materialization system!"
"Ahhh, my tree--" Zhu Shihua did not respond to Pu Zixuan, but looked at the fallen trunk with heartache at the first time and lamented, "It doesn't matter if I get beaten casually, but this precious little-leaf red bean tree was bought with real money... Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Pu Zixuan smiled and said, "I will compensate you for the broken things. Anyway, I know a little bit about my senior's strength. I have seen it so many times. Now, can I become a disciple?"
Zhu Shixiao hummed, "The learning of the purifying messenger is not calculated by silver. Ten taels of gold starts, which is 100 taels of silver."
Pu Zixuan remembers that Su Sanniang once said that she had paid 50 taels of silver before she became Zhu Shixia as her teacher. Unexpectedly, the price doubled a few years later. Fortunately, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Pu Zixuan was not heartbroken and nodded, "Okay, no problem."
"There is also this tree, worth one or two, a total of one hundred and one or two!"
