[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

After that day, Murong Ziying and Shen Bailing stayed in Xun City for several days.Murong Ziying is very interested in the smelting skills handed down from ancient times to the present by the survivors on Penglai Island. Every day, she can't wait to stick her head next to the stove in the iron shop and never leave. Often when she returns to the inn, it is already dusk. She is really hardworking. .

The blacksmith was quite generous, he didn't speculate at all, and he had a good impression of him. He accidentally learned that he came to Beiming to find high-quality cold iron. On the day when Murong Ziying and Murong Ziying were about to leave Penglai, they quietly delivered a wooden box to the inn where they lived.

When Murong Ziying took over the wooden box, she felt that it was quite heavy in her hand. As soon as she opened the lid, a chill came over her face. When she took a closer look, she was suddenly surprised and delighted. The square ore is not very eye-catching, but he can recognize it at a glance. It is no different from the description of the cold iron that he saw in the master's handbook, and the aura contained in it is obviously the top grade among the cold iron. He must have been smudged by spiritual energy on the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years.

What he didn't know was that Penglai Island was originally a paradise. The rotation of the sun and the moon and the seasons had nothing to do with the outside world. According to my spying, the ancient survivors moved here thousands of years ago to avoid wars and chaos, and also brought in the superb skills handed down from the family. The blacksmith's casting technique has been passed down from the ancestors to this day.And Penglai is adjacent to Minghai. Many rare treasures in Minghai, such as night pearls and cold irons, are not rare here. On the contrary, some common goods from the Central Plains are really rare on the island. scarcity.The blacksmith already had some stock in his home, and seeing Murong Ziying's skill in forging swords, he expected that he would never spoil his good stone, so he secretly made up his mind to take out the top-grade piece of thousand-year-old cold iron in his collection. Parting gift.Murong Ziying really felt like she had found a treasure, and she was very grateful.

However, Shen Bailing was not interested in these at all. These days, he did not soak in the iron shop with Murong Ziying to be smoked by the stove. In his spare time, he wandered around the city alone. It was different, but it also satisfied his curiosity and allowed him to collect a lot of rare and interesting things.Therefore, when I left, I was quite satisfied and returned home with a full load.

On the day before leaving, the blacksmith sent them out of the city gate to the seashore. At the beginning, he wondered how these two people came to Penglai Island, and worried whether they could successfully pass through the waves of the sea of ​​darkness, until he saw the two people with their swords. After watching them disappear into the sky, I realized that these two people are strange people with great supernatural powers and celestial spells. I was relieved and even admired them, but they didn't reveal half of it when they returned to the city.

At that moment, Shen Bailing and Murong Ziying galloped back to the island where they said goodbye to Xiang Qing earlier. Xiang Qing had agreed with them in advance that the ship would stay outside the port of that island for at most five days. If you don't come back, you won't wait any longer.Now after going through the battle with Kunpeng and the visit to Penglai Island and various accidents, it took five days, nine days, and ten days. Shen Bailing could not help feeling anxious when he was on the road, and secretly guessed that Xiang Qing might have already led the fleet to leave. The rest of the harbor is empty.Unexpectedly, when I went back to the island, I saw that the ship was still in the bay and hadn't set sail. It was both unexpected and joyful, and they landed on the bow with Murong Ziying and Yu Jian with a smile on their faces.

Those young boatmen had already loaded the fresh water into the cabin a few days ago. These days they have been really bored. Apart from basking in the sun every day, they can only chat to relieve their boredom. Who would have thought that this day is just bragging and bragging, Suddenly I saw two lights, one blue and one purple, coming from the sky, and they fell in front of my eyes in an instant. I thought I had encountered a monster. In the uproar, someone rushed to call Xiang Qing out.

When Xiang Qing rushed over, he saw the cyan light dissipate, revealing two slender figures, Shen Bailing and Murong Ziying. Brother Murong is back!" As he said this, he had already come to the front, stretched out a big palm and slapped Shen Bailing's shoulder heavily, "There are many accidents at sea, and you two are not the ones who often go to sea, this trip will make people very worried , it’s good to be back now, it’s good to be back!”

It turned out that he was afraid that Shen Bailing and Murong Ziying would be in danger at sea, so he would not set sail without saying anything, and he was even more worried day and night. Now seeing the two of them returning safe and sound, his face was full of joy, and he didn't even mention the burden he had been carrying for the past few days. The boatmen were full of opposition to the hard work of forcibly staying at sea, but Shen Bailing also vaguely guessed a little bit, only felt that the owner of the boat was honest and forthright, and he was really a friend to make, even though his shoulders were about to be slapped apart at the moment , his face was still full of a soft smile, and his brows never frowned.

Since Xiang Qing had waited for them, Dang Shi ordered his crewmen to set sail, then turned around and pulled Shen Bailing and Murong Ziying to his room, and asked them about what they had seen and heard at sea.As for how the boatmen on the boat were arguing and guessing whether the two guests invited by the boat owner were monsters or gods, they ignored them.

The return trip was much faster than the previous trip. In less than half a month, the seaport outside Qinglong Town had appeared at the end of the sea.When the ship sailed into the harbour, Xiang Qing knew that he was about to say goodbye to this brother Shen who was quite close, so he patted his chest and asked Murong Ziying to treat him, and dragged them into the town without any refusal. Hai Hakka.

After a month or so, the clerk at Haikeju still remembered Shen Bailing's appearance. When he saw it from afar, he smiled and called out: "Young master, you are covered in dust and dust. Did you come back from the sea?" Xiang Qing, who was next to him, had even more admiration in his smile, "Ah, isn't this Mr. Xiang from the Xiang Family Dockyard? Said, "Oh, I know, this young master can take the boat of the uncle's house when he goes out to sea? The young master has a good eye. The sea boat built by Xiangye's dock is the best ship in our Qinglong Town. I want to come this time. Going to sea will definitely make a lot of money!"

The words made Xiang Qing laugh: "Little Sanzi is still so quick-spoken, why don't you choose a good table and buy some good wine and food, today you treat the uncle, don't be afraid of running out of money to pay the bill, just bring the good ones up!"

The waiter nodded and bowed and hurriedly led them to sit down at a table in the hall, and after a short while brought a jug of wine and several hot and cold dishes to the table.Xiang Qing ordered him to pour three full bowls of wine, picked up one of the bowls and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, Brother Murong, you are leaving Qinglong Town, and I don't know when we will see you next time. Even if it is to practice for you, big brother, I will do it first as a respect." As he spoke, he drank it up and put the bowl heavily on the table.

Shen Bailing was inconvenient to refuse, so he also picked up the wine bowl, and was about to drink it, but he smelled a strong smell of wine, and immediately felt a little uncomfortable, but Xiang Qing looked at him with piercing eyes, no matter what, he couldn't let him go In order to save face, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, hold his breath and pour it down in one go.

"Okay, Brother Shen is refreshing enough!" Xiang Qing praised with a smile, turned his head and kept urging Murong Ziying to drink quickly.

Murong Ziying frowned slightly, shook her head and declined, "It's inconvenient for people who practice the Tao to indulge in drinking—" Before she finished speaking, she heard something rolling to the ground beside her, and then something fell sideways, He slumped softly on his shoulders.

Xiang Qing glanced over with a pair of tiger eyes, almost protruding from the stare, and shouted: "Brother Shen?!"

When Murong Ziying turned her head, her eyes were full of surprise.Taking a closer look, it was Shen Bailing's head that was leaning on his shoulders. Half of his side face exposed from the scattered black hair was full of blush, and his usually warm and jade-like eyes were narrowed into two slits. Her lashes are like feathers, and the ray of eyes revealed hazy as if there is a puddle of water, her breath is shallow but very alcoholic, as if she was drunk like mud.

But this person... just drank a bowl of wine, right?

Murong Ziying and Xiang Qing looked at each other and fell into silence for a while.

Half an hour later, in Haike's guest room on the second floor, Murong Ziying, who had sent Xiang Qing away, sat up on the bed with her eyes closed, seemingly meditating and resting her mind, but the slightly throbbing veins on her forehead exposed the calm appearance slight emotion.The person lying on the bed didn't notice it, turned over and hugged the quilt in his arms again, muttering in his mouth: "...Aunt...don't die..."

Murong Ziying opened her eyes, the corners of her lips were slightly tightened, and the vein on her forehead seemed to be a little more obvious.But he still got up slightly, stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt out of Shen Bailing's hand again, shook it off and covered him again, and then sat back heavily.

Unexpectedly, this person is usually gentle and stable, but he is so difficult when he is drunk!Murong Ziying sat on the stool, she really didn't know whether she was angry or amused.Not to mention that Shen Bailing's drinking capacity is extremely light, but he pours a bowl, and he is still very willful when he is drunk. He seemed to have fallen asleep on his shoulders, but he and Xiang Qingzheng planned to lift him up to the second floor. The man managed to get out of the two pairs of arms very sensitively, hugged the table to death and refused to let go, he kept talking non-stop, and he didn't know what he said, but the waiter in the shop was stunned.

After finally sending him to the guest room, this person tossed and turned on the bed without any peace, his face was also unpredictable, resentment and joy for a while, sadness and sadness for a while, forget it, and he always kicked the quilt under the bed , I picked it up and just covered it, I lifted my foot again.Murong Ziying's seniority in Kunlun Mountain is not low, and he has taught countless low-level disciples of the sect, but none of them are more difficult to take care of than this person in front of him!

Feeling helpless and depressed, the person on the bed called again in a low voice: "... Junior Brother..." This call was very soft, with a hint of regret, and it made people's heart tremble even more.

Murong Ziying turned her head, looking at that sad face with very complicated eyes, this person usually behaved so peaceful and gentle, but in his sleep he was so sad, which one is the real him?What kind of past events has he experienced so that he can't even find peace in his dreams?

"Junior brother..." Shen Bailing frowned, and called out again, suddenly stretched out a hand from the quilt and grabbed it in the air, just caught Murong Ziying's hand propped by the bed, and immediately retracted her five fingers Tightly, he tightly grasped Murong Ziying's hand and dragged it to his chest.

Murong Ziying's eyes widened a little, and she instinctively pulled her hand back, but Shen Bailing seemed to feel something in her sleep, and her hand became more and more forceful, holding him tightly and refusing to let go.During the struggle, the originally tightly closed eyes suddenly opened a thin crack, Murong Ziying caught a glimpse, and hurriedly broke free while shouting: "Brother Bailing!"

Shen Bailing stared at him blankly, then let go of her fingers suddenly.

Murong Ziying's heart relaxed for a moment, but the next moment her neckline tightened, and then her whole body was forcefully pulled in front of that person by the hand that let go of him just now.In the blink of an eye, that pale and handsome face was close at hand, and the breath was clearly audible. Murong Ziying's eyes widened, and she felt her ears were slightly hot.

At this moment, the person who was holding on to his skirt murmured: "... Junior Brother Xuan Xiao... I'm sorry..."

Xuan Xiao?The name is so familiar...

Murong Ziying's complexion changed slightly.
