Happy little peasants

Ye Xiang rode on the horse, followed by a dozen disciples dressed up from Beimang, and entered the gate of Lushan.

Because they live in the north for a long time, the weather gets warmer as they go south. Some of these people took off the sleeves of one sheepskin jacket, and some took off the entire sheepskin jacket and put them on their shoulders. The whole team looked very untidy. The disciples of Lushan Zhigengyuan who came to meet the well-dressed Lushan Zhigengyuan had a sharp contrast.

Ye Xiang's face was cold. Seeing Li Ya coming to greet him, he didn't mind the things that were driven away by Lushan the people last time. It was like coming to Lushan for the first time.

Li Ya had received the letter sent by Ye Xiang in advance at Zhigongyuan. He knew that Ye Xiang represented Bei Amen this time, so he treated Ye Xiang’s previous holiday as if it had not happened, and welcomed Ye Xiang with a smile. .

"Ye Huwei, the journey is hard, welcome you to Lushan, please follow me to the front hall to rest." Li Ya arched his hand towards Ye Xiang politely, and the disciple of the Zhigengyuan behind him immediately came up to lead Ye Xiang.

"Fortunately meeting." Ye Xiang replied to Li Ya, then turned his face and didn't want to talk to Li Ya more.He walked to the carriage behind and said to the two Beimang people: "Take out the gift."

Two people from Beimang took out a one-three-foot-square wooden box from the carriage, carrying it and going forward.Ye Xiang waved his hand at them and motioned them to stop first. He walked over and uncovered the lid of the box. At this moment, the disciples of the Zhigengyuan on both sides looked at the box together.

The four walls of the box were inlaid with white satin, and a deer carved from jade was placed in the middle. The gentle green light of the jade hit the satin beside it very beautifully.The deer seemed to look into the distance with its head up, and the sculpture was so vivid that it attracted the amazement of people around it.

The disciples of the Zhigongyuan began to whisper: "Is there such a skilled craftsman in the savage land of Beimang?"

Ye Xiang took a look at the disciples of Zhigengyuan, and seemed to have heard their discussion, a sneer flashed across his face.

Li Ya led Ye Xiang to the front hall, and Xu Gui went out to welcome him.

After Ye Xiang saw Xu Gui, his stern face only slightly smiled.Xu Gui is still the gentle attitude of the past, and it has become a fixed impression in the hearts of Lushan people.

Xu Gui followed Yuan Zhixing behind him. Ye Xiang and Yuan Zhixing were really jealous when they met their enemies, but this time he had a more important goal. He just glanced at Yuan Zhixing and didn't say anything else.

After Ye Xiang and Xu Gui were seated, a disciple of Lu Youtang came in. He walked straight towards Xu Gui and said loudly: "Uncle, my master said that someone had just brought Lingnan's best tea, and he was in a hurry to taste tea. coming."

Xu Gui listened and smiled awkwardly at Ye Xiang: "My senior brother has a good temperament and has many hobbies. Things do not matter if they are interested. No wonder Ye Huwei."

Ye Xiang heard that Lu Youtang’s first person, Xiang Yan, had found such an excuse not to show up, and he also ordered someone to come and say that he had made it clear that he looked down on Ye Xiang, he put the tea bowl in his hand aside, and lowered his voice: "Since Ye has come to Lushan, he naturally wants to ask Mr. Xiang alone."

In order not to embarrass Ye Xiang, Xu Gui began to say that he welcomed Ye Xiang to Lushan: "Although Lushan and Bei Amen seem to have been unable to communicate for many years, the connection between the two factions has never been broken. The envoys can be called martial arts miracles, and Lushan often draws inspiration from them."

"Lushan has always cultivated a lot of talents for the powerful Qi country, and it is a place where practitioners all over the world yearn for. Although there are some differences in practice thinking between my Bei Amen and Lushan, I have always recognized Lushan's leading position. This time Ye can be sent. It is a great honor to visit Lushan. In order to show his friendship, Bei Amen asked me to bring a jade deer specially made for Lushan." Ye Xiang still had a cold face, and his words were hard, as if they were recited by heart.

The two Beimang people carried the wooden box to the middle of the hall and carefully moved the Yulu out of it.

Xu Gui stood up to admire, chittering, but he didn't comment easily.

Ye Xiang said, "This Jade Deer was created by the Xinghai Saint Envoy, and the whole process didn't use any tangible tools. From embryonication to carving, it was made by Xinghai Saint Envoy empty-handed.

Xu Gui had known for a long time that this thing must have come from such a long distance, and it must have come from Xinghai.He had long heard that Xinghai Youth became famous, fused the two techniques of Jianzong Qizong, and developed a superb phantom sword qi. Without using any tangible weapons, the true power in his hands is a very precise weapon. It can not only become the atmosphere of a sword and axe, but also the subtlety of a hidden weapon, and it can change its shape at will.

That's why Ye Xiang just said that this jade became a jade deer, and it was all made by Xinghai empty hands.

Xu Guizan said: "This deer was carved so beautifully and vividly. It really wasn't the work of a craftsman. I can't think of the wonderful skills of the Xinghai envoy today from this jade deer. Xu admires it."

The disciple of Zhigengyuan who was standing by heard that the jade deer had been carved out empty-handed, and he was already shocked.

Ye Xiang saw the surprised reaction of Lushan disciples, and then said: "Fifteen years ago, the Xinghai Saint Envoy had a contest with the noble school Lu Yan. Although Xinghai Saint Envoy was lucky to win, he also understood the profoundness of Lushan's exercises. In the past few years, I dare not slacken in the slightest, for fear of becoming a frog at the bottom of the well, and I hope that I can be enlightened by the Lord Deer Valley in the rest of my life."

Xu Gui heard Ye Xiang mentioning the Lord of the Valley, and immediately felt unhappy. In Lushan and even in Qi, the Lord of the Valley has the highest status. Xinghai is only the sage of the North Amen. He even proposed that he wants to be enlightened by the Lord. .

Moreover, the gift they gave came from Xinghai, clearly reminding the people of Lushan that Lu Yan was defeated by Xinghai 15 years ago.

Xu Gui suppressed the irritation in his heart, still looked kind, and said slowly: "The Lord of the Valley has exceeded the five realms, and has long ignored the matter of the martial world, I am afraid that he can't give directions. Whether it is a visit or a discussion, we welcome your party. , Ye Huwei came from afar, he could live in Lushan for a little longer, and everyone can communicate slowly."

Ye Xiang heard that Xu Gui’s tone had changed a bit, and he seemed to be disdainful of their provocations. He was not good to continue talking about this matter, and said: "Ye has heard that Lu Youtang’s first Mr. Xiang has exquisite swordsmanship. Superb, Luoxiajian magnificent and fickle, alone in the country, I must visit another day."

Xu Gui smiled and nodded, calling Yuan Zhixing to him, and said: "You go and talk to your uncle in advance to see when you can see Ye Huwei. Ye Huwei's itinerary will be arranged by you these days. ."

Ye Xiang was really annoyed that Xiang Yan put on such a big air, but he was obsessed with Sword Sect cultivation for many years. For this great sword master Xiang Yan in Lushan, he had long wanted to see the true face, so he had to bear this breath for a while.
