Chapter 420: Little River Bay

Chapter 420: Little River Bay

This is an illusory space evolved from the Great Law of Changing Heaven and Strike Earth. Chu Qing uses it to adjust his sword to separate the worlds.

He held the sword in one hand, with the blade across his palm, and a red light shone from the tip of the sword.

Suddenly, he rolled his body and swung his sword.

Boom, boom, boom!!

The majestic sword edge spread out instantly, shattering the ground in an instant, and the surrounding world almost turned into nothingness.

But in just a moment, everything returned to normal.

Chu Qing sensed it a little and confirmed that there was no irreversible damage to his condition. He touched his chin and thought:
“This is already the strength of 30%. I used the Great Heaven-Changing and Earth-Strike Method and Sitting in the Light of God to deduce it. Although it is in a magic mirror, the actual power should be the same.

"My own state is exactly the same... As expected, I can withstand the backlash of this sword move."

Then he remained silent, stood with the sword in his hand, and opened his eyes after a long time.

There was a faint sword light in his eyes. At the same time, the sword tip rose up and the edge suddenly expanded. It was almost invisible and disappeared in an instant.

After sheathing the sword, Chu Qing put his hands on the awning, but he couldn't tell where the sword went.
Only the dust that suddenly spread out from the ground was more than three feet high, like a huge sword curtain, stretching across the earth.

Although it is not as powerful as the previous sword, its power is stronger than before.

This time, he omitted the opening move and the step of holding the sword horizontally in his palm, and the point at which the sword tip rose changed from a chop to a stab.

The edge is only at one point, but it is integrated into the speed of A Fei's sword.

Therefore, this point is as sharp as thunder and lightning, and can travel a thousand miles in an instant.

Compared to the previous one, not only was the power of this sword increased, but it also took almost no time to start, and moved in a timely manner without giving the opponent time and opportunity to prepare. The speed of the sword made it difficult for the opponent to defend himself.

I thought it was enough at first, but by the time I realized it, it was already too late.

"But...it can be improved."

Chu Qing held the sword still again, with a bright divine light above his head to help him think.

The spiritual world remains unchanged, but the outside world is constantly changing.

In the blink of an eye, the night was over. When dawn came, Chu Qing naturally felt a little tired when he opened his eyes.

That night he kept practicing the techniques of Sitting in the Light of God and Changing the Sky and Striking the Earth to separate the worlds with one sword, and he repeated them several times, but he always felt that he had not achieved enough.

This sword technique is extremely powerful, but the mental method itself is crude. The core concept is to integrate one's own true energy into one, and then unleash it with one sword.

But this overly simple and crude method, although it makes the sword technique powerful, is far from the peak.

If one wants to bring this sword to its peak state, one still needs to incorporate more martial arts mysteries, eliminate the dross and retain the essence, and keep honing it.

But he still had things to do, so his trip to Xuanjimen ended here.

He got up, changed his clothes, washed up, and went to find Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou.

After breakfast, he took them away from Xuanjimen.

Zuo Zhongtang realized it later, and only caught up with Chu Qing when he was about to reach the Mechanical City.

"If the leader is leaving, why didn't you let me know so that I can come and see you off."

Zuo Zhongtang's current appearance is completely different from the day when he was first seen at the foot of Xianyun Mountain.

Although he was trapped in love at that time, he was still quite elegant. But now he seemed to be worn out by tremendous pressure. He has lost the sharpness of youth, and there is a look of vicissitudes and fatigue in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

Chu Qing looked at him like this, shook his head helplessly, and said softly:
"Zuo Zhongtang, if you can't support this Xuanji Sect, you can just tell me.

"There are many talented people in Xuanji Sect. You don't necessarily have to be the leader."

Zuo Zhongtang's face turned pale, and he immediately clasped his fists and said:

"It's my subordinates who are useless."

"That's not what I want to hear."

Chu Qing turned around:

“The Xuanji Sect has been established for hundreds of years, and it is not easy to get to where it is today. You should think carefully about how to support this sect and this world.

"If I see you again next time, you're still so useless...you only know how to indulge in love and blame others.

"Then the Xuanji Gate will change its owner."

When Zuo Zhongtang heard this, he did not feel fear, but instead felt relieved.

On the surface, Chu Qing was leaving, and he rushed over and got scolded, which seemed not worth it.

But in fact, because of his arrival, Chu Qing gave him another chance.

Otherwise, Xuanjimen might not even be able to hold on until the next meeting with Chu Qing.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zhongtang straightened his back.

Cheng Xiao had told him a lot in the past few days, and he also knew that Chu Qing asked Cheng Xiao to come over that night to help her unlock the life and death talisman.

At this point, the only person Chu Qing had in his control was Zuo Huaifeng.

But this did not make him feel rebellious. After seeing Chu Qing's battle with the Lord of Arms at Xianyun Mountain, it would be difficult for anyone to feel rebellious.

Chu Qing untied Cheng Xiao's life and death talisman in order to make him feel more relaxed.

Chu Qing didn't kill Zuo Huaifeng in Xianyun Mountain that day, so he won't kill him easily in the future...

As long as he obeys orders and manages the Xuanji Gate well, there may be a chance that father and son will meet again in the future.

……

……

Small river bay.

The brook gurgles and the stream flows in circles.

In early spring, plum blossoms fall all over the sky, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and wine.

The plum blossom wine from Xiaohewan is even more famous.

According to local people, if plum blossom wine wants to taste good, it is inseparable from the water of Xiaohewan and the plum blossoms nourished by the water and soil of Xiaohewan.

Therefore, every time the plum blossoms are in full bloom, every household here will collect plum blossoms and brew fine wine.

The fragrance spreads for ten miles, making people linger.

"If you're passing by, take a look. This is our homemade plum blossom wine, which you can't get anywhere else. If you miss this place, you'll never find it again."

A woman who looked very smart and capable rolled up her sleeves and shouted loudly, trying to attract passers-by to have a look at her plum blossom wine.

Behind him, there were two people, one big and one small, busy at work. They seemed to be a father and son.

The child was distracted from time to time, and his eyes could not help wandering around the street. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, he could not help but say to the man:
"Dad, do you think they are the heroes mentioned in the storybook?"

"Silly kid, you only know how to imagine nonsense. Where do so many heroes come from?"

The man laughed:
"Besides the fact that our place is somewhat famous for its plum blossom wine, what else is there that is worthy of the attention of those high-ranking martial arts masters?

"Just give up your dreams of becoming a wuxia artist, and concentrate on making this plum blossom wine, saving some money, and when you grow up you can find a pretty wife and have children, then your life will not be in vain."

"Don't look down on me. I will become a hero in the future!"

"and then?"

The man asked:
"Now that you're a hero, what do you want to do? You're climbing up the roof and tearing off the tiles. I think you deserve a beating!"

As he said this, he made a gesture to fight, but the future hero didn't dare to take his father's fist head-on, so he could only bow his hands and admit his mistake.

Occasionally he glanced at the street again and suddenly took a breath of cold air:
"The gods from heaven have come down to earth?"

"Having a nightmare again?"

The man curled his lips:
"Where did this immortal come from?"

As he spoke, he glanced back and was stunned to see a few strangers in front of his stall.

Standing in the middle was a young man in white, carrying a black box on his back. It looked very heavy, but on his body it seemed as light as a feather.

The worst thing is that this guy looks so hateful, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and snow-white skin. He looks like a pretty boy at first glance!
When his wife spoke to him, she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

This is really unreasonable!

"What gods descended to earth? I think it's a demon coming to seduce people."

He angrily threw the plum blossom in his hand into the basin, and walked over in two steps. The anger on his face was instantly replaced by a smile:

"Dear guests, do you want plum blossom wine? I'm not bragging to you, our plum blossom wine is the best in the whole area!

"The most important thing is that it is of good quality and inexpensive. A jar of plum blossom wine costs only ten taels of silver, no matter who or what you ask!"

Chu Qing was stunned when he heard this:
"How many?"

Looking around, I thought I had come across a shady shop.

But looking at it in broad daylight, it doesn't seem like it.

The proprietress listened to her husband's nonsense, and her shy face suddenly became furious:

"Why are you talking nonsense here when you can't pick plum blossoms in the back?

"If your plum blossom wine is made of gold? And you still need ten taels of silver! I think you look like ten taels of silver!
"Why don't you go back to work and stop making trouble!!"

The man was driven back, tumbling and crawling.

The young man was overjoyed:

"Our plum wine doesn't have to be so expensive. Are you asking for trouble?"

"You know nothing!"

The man was very proud:
"How terrible is your mother's roar like a lion? She didn't show her true colors just now, but now, who dares to provoke her with her violent temper?"

The boy suddenly realized:

"sharp."

Chu Qing was such a skilled martial artist that he had heard the conversation between the father and son clearly, and for a moment he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He brought Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou all the way to Xiaohewan. Today was the third day of the Chinese New Year.

There are still two days left before Wanbao Tower opens in Xiaohewan.

When I first arrived, I wanted to try the plum wine from Xiaohewan, but I never expected that I would be mistaken for a gigolo.

He hurriedly ordered a jar of plum wine. The proprietress seemed to feel that her man had lost face, so she gave Chu Qing a low price.

After the transaction was completed, Chu Qing asked:
"Excuse me, is there an inn nearby?"

"Inn?"

The lady boss smiled and said:

"There are no inns in our area, but every household has a vacant room. If you pay, you can stay here...

"If you three don't mind, give us some money and we'll build three empty rooms for you in the backyard."

"This feeling is good."

Chu Qing immediately clasped his fists:

"Thank you very much."

"Why are you being polite? You paid for it."

The proprietress waved her hand, turned around and shouted to the back:
"Silly boy, go clean up three rooms. These people will stay in our house."

When the young man heard this, he immediately cheered up, agreed with a "OK", and turned to leave. Only the man had a dazed look on his face, as if he had been seriously injured:
"It's bad, it's bad. Even the Hedong Lion can't stop them from entering the house? What should I do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lady boss stepped hard on his foot:
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll let you know whether a tigress eats people or not!"

He was obviously so angry that he even cursed himself.

Chu Qing and the other two couldn't help laughing.

The proprietress turned around a little embarrassedly and said, "Excuse me, please come in."

"Good work."

The proprietress had to go out and sell her goods, so she asked the man to accompany her.

He was sternly told not to talk nonsense, and after giving him numerous instructions, he turned around and got busy.

When the man saw her leave, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked back at Chu Qing. He still felt dissatisfied with everything about her. Such a good-looking man must have bad intentions.

Especially since he is accompanied by two beautiful girls, he is even less of a good person.

However, his wife was so powerful that he didn't dare to act rashly and could only accompany her obediently.

Chu Qing was very outgoing and chatted with him casually for a few words, and slowly opened up the conversation.

During the casual conversation, the man said his surname was Song and that his family had lived in Xiaohewan for generations.

In the past, life was peaceful. People would work in the fields during the farming season and pick plum blossoms to make wine during the falling flower season. They lived a simple and unpretentious life.

Just in recent days, for some reason, a lot of strangers suddenly came to Xiaohewan.

I don't know why I'm here.

After chatting for a while, the young man came out from the backyard, covered in dust, and said that the rooms had been cleaned up, but there were only two, not three.

The remaining room could not be cleaned up in a short time.

After hearing this, the proprietress felt a little embarrassed, but Chu Qing said it was no problem, as the two girls could share one room and she could have one room.

The proprietress was embarrassed and asked Chu Qing to give less money when paying.

It was just a small matter, and Chu Qing didn't take it to heart.

As the young man got to know his room, he went to work.

The room was not good, but the young man cleaned it very cleanly. Chu Qing sat on the kang, and Wu Qianhuan said with a smile:

"This family is quite interesting. The couple loves each other very much, and the child is already so grown up, but the husband is still jealous."

Wenrou glanced at Chu Qing's face:
"It's all because of Third Brother's face."

"...Yeah, he didn't look like this before. How come you have such red lips and white teeth?"

"I have perfected my inner strength and my face will never age. Not only now, I will look like this even in my seventies or eighties in the next few decades!"

Chu Qing snorted.

Wu Qianhuan was stunned:
"Then what should I do? If you and I go out together thirty years later, will people mistake me for your mother?"

"How can you be so unreasonable?"

Chu Qing was furious and pretended to hit him, but Wu Qianhuan laughed and dodged repeatedly.

Wenrou looked at the two fools in silence, feeling speechless. If they really wanted to fight, with Chu Qing's martial arts, Wu Qianhuan would have nowhere to hide.

The inner speechlessness, held back until the end, turned into two words:
"childish."

Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan paused and looked at Wen Rou together. They had not expected to be "criticized" like this. After looking at each other, they also involved Wen Rou.

After the three of them played around for a while, they calmed down.

Chu Qing then said:

“However, seven or eight out of ten sentences that Shopkeeper Song said to me just now were false.

"Moreover, this person is very secretive and has a very good internal strength."
