Chapter II Kyoto

This year, Kyoto suffered a once-in-a-century heavy snow. The house on the street is covered with a white quilt, and a red and white tall building stands at the busiest intersection.

A beautiful woman in red leaned against the top window and looked at the pedestrians walking in the light snow on the road. The fragrance in the room burned out. The fresh fragrance that gradually dispersed made her troubles come back, and her eyebrows could not help but wrinkle up. Snow will not only kill many people, but also have some headache problems waiting for her to make a choice.

"Miss, it's time." There was a sweet voice like an oriole outside, and she sighed in her heart. Go to the wall and pick up the sword given by the master. A sword with a purple scabbard is never sharp. It's time to smoke.

"Young lady, you ..." Looking at the sword in her lower back, the maid was a little surprised.

"Let's go." She walked towards the outside of the building. Her name is Shang Ruoying. She is the boss of Linglong Pavilion, the largest firm in the dynasty, and also the boss of a businessman.

Stepping out of the door, the oncoming chill made her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and the chill rushed into the nasal cavity to let her instinctively use the true qi to drive away the chill. With the warm return, she couldn't help thinking of the days in Tianshan Mountain. At that time, she also drove the cold with her true qi. She thought of her master, elder brother and younger brother. I wonder how they are doing now.

At the moment of turning around, Shang Ruoying saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. In an instant, an idea appeared in her mind, impossible!

That is a man with a broken left foot. He walked to Linglong Pavilion with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The shabby black dress was full of holes, and it was completely impossible to see that this dress would be her familiar cassock. Embroidered on the cloth swaying in the wind is a crane that she knows very well. She embroidered this with her own hands. What surprised Shang Ruoying the most was that she was blind in the face that was very similar to the little teacher younger brother.

It is impossible for a man like little brother to get hurt. People like big brother can't hurt him. Who can hurt his eyes and feet?

"Little teacher younger brother? ! "

"Sister." The teacher elder sister confirmed Shang Ruoying's guess. Regardless of the strange smell, she quickly ran over and hugged him.

Do you feel liquid dripping on his dirty face? Are these tears?

Shang ruoying's heart is as painful as being stabbed by a sword. How did my brother become like this?

"Master told me to come on foot, and I was not allowed to use Taoism." I didn't smell the residual fragrance of Shang Ruoying. I used the perfume with my heart. He walked for a long time and met many people and things. Without them, he might give up halfway. If he dies, it's his life.

This kind of injury comes from people's malice, and it is also what the master makes him feel. Humanity!

Shang Ruoying, who loosened Qingyi and wiped her tears, didn't understand why the master wanted Qingyi to do so. She ordered to calm down her excitement.

"Go and prepare some hot water and clothes." Little brother is here, and all the problems are not problems.

"Sister, say thank you to them for me." Qing Wu followed the servant into Linglong Pavilion, and Johann Adam schall von bell walked to Erwen in the distance.

There is only one person left, the white-haired figure is getting farther and farther in the light snow, and looks like a young woman. Another man greeted him.

"Brother Shang, who is your brother?" The bearer is a graceful woman with black hair tied behind her head. With a cold sword on her back, Shang Ruoying has seen her. Born in Xianmen, Beihai, the still water lotus and the late clear snow, she saluted and asked Tang Ruoying.

"Exactly. Thank you, Sister Qing Xue, for your care these days. " Beihai Xianmen is Linglongge's largest customer in Beihai, and there are many business contacts between the two sides.

"He ...? "Xue yat sen villa don't know how to describe it. More than a year ago, she happened to meet Kate. The child gave her a special feeling, though human, but inhuman. He has an inexplicable attraction, which can attract animals to get close without hurting him. After observation, she was sure that Qing Wu was also a monk, but this kind of spiritual practice, feeling the world of mortals, made her curious about what kind of spiritual practice it was, so that she followed him all the way to Kyoto. At the same time, in order to protect him, she saw those wicked people stab him in the eye. If she doesn't do it, she doesn't know when the white-haired woman will do it.

"Sister Qing Xue, if you have nothing to do, come to Linglong Pavilion and have a rest." In the face of Shang Re-ying's invitation, Xie Yat sen villa said to Xue:

"Very good." She thought something interesting would happen. Considering the recent situation in Linglong Pavilion, she knew that Qing Wu must have come here at this time for some reason.

As a pot of hot tea burns in the room of Linglongge Tianzihao, the fragrance is ignited again. In the thick fragrance, the two men drank hot tea and talked about everything.

In the distant room, Kate, who was soaked in hot water, felt the temperature of the hot water, and his eyes recovered in the blink of an eye. You can use Taoism after meeting Shang Ruoying, and this kind of injury can be recovered only by breathing. Qing Wu looked at his white palm and recalled what had happened during this time.

He knows the master's purpose of letting him go to Kyoto in this way, so that he can feel what a person is like and what his life is like. Along the way, he saw a lot of things, the affection between father and son, the love between men and women, and some things that someone did for love. Some of them are crazy about love, some can do whatever it takes to get revenge, some may sacrifice themselves to keep their loved ones alive, some are great and some are selfish. All kinds of human nature are shown to him in it, and he won't have these things because he is a foreigner. He won't love anyone, let alone hate anyone. He has no desire, no pursuit. Listen to him only because he raised himself, and he knows that this is because his humanity is pinned on them, which is a cause and effect. He is also here to get back the humanity entrusted to them.

He put on the grey cassock, pushed open the door and hurried towards Shang Ruo and Britain. Shang Ruoying's cassock is just right for him. When she went down the mountain, it was similar to Qing Wu's figure. This dress has been put away for a long time.

"Man. Son. " The waiting servant couldn't believe his eyes. Is this the same person as the beggar who went in?

"No need." Green said nothing. He doesn't need someone to lead him. He can sense where Shang Ruoying is.

Looking at the coming clear if ying's eyes lit up, and yat sen villa snow stopped in the air with a teacup hand, she was a little surprised.

After washing and dressing up, Qing Wu is like a piece of jade, with a strange temperament. This kind of feeling has been seen by several uncles in the door. It is the temperament of successful people, and the innocent temperament is deeper than them.

Step by step, Qing came and sat down and picked up a cup of tea to drink.

"Zhou Nanshan's green tea is not as good as Xiang Lian in Tianshan Mountain, but the taste is acceptable." The faint sweetness makes Kate feel a little happy, which is acceptable.

"Sister, what can I do for you?" Qing Wu didn't know that Master had asked him to find Shang Ruoying, which was what he had to do.

"... yes. "Although it is not easy to speak, Shang Ruoying does have something to ask for help.

"Sister Qing Xue has heard of the double ghosts in the mountain of self-protection?"

"The ghost of Mangshan is the other disciples who defected from Mangshan Road?" Yat sen villa snow heard of these two people. They used to be Taoist priests in the mountain road to protect themselves, but later they became resentful because of the change of owners and left the mountain road to protect themselves. They have done a lot of bad things in recent years, and they are called "two ghosts in the mountain to protect themselves".

"Yes, two years ago, they joined Bao Mingge. I haven't heard from my father since he went to the East China Sea a year ago. In recent days, they have begun to test the reality of Linglong Pavilion. " Linglong Pavilion and Baoming Pavilion are the first and second firms in the world respectively, which have been in conflict for a long time.

Since March this year, the caravan of Linglongge has been attacked more than ten times, with more than 20 casualties. These people are not weak hands. Those who survived the last few times can confirm that it was two ghosts who protected themselves from the mountains. Originally, she wanted to go to Baomingge to discuss this matter today, and she was even ready to move the knife.

"Let me handle it." Qing Wu's words completely put Shang Ruoying's heart down. She was really worried that her brother would leave tomorrow and let her face these things alone again.

Wu Qin took another sip of tea, put down the teacup, and stood up to thank yat sen villa.

"Thank you for your care along the way." Yat sen villa got up with a snow and replied.

"I am ashamed that Master Qing will arrive in Kyoto safely, but I have a lot of worries." Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Mr. Xue learned the name of the Qing Dynasty from Shang Ruoying. There are not many orthodoxy with Qing characters as the symbol, but they are all very strong. Her behavior only made Wu Qin suffer less along the way. Although she knows that these are part of her practice, she still can't hide that those people beat and scold Wu Qin to punish them. If I had met Qing earlier, she would have lost an eye and her feet would not have become like that. She thought of the white-haired woman. She followed Kate earlier than herself, but she hurt him. Will she not do this without endangering her life?

Later, the three men discussed practice and Taoism. Kate's understanding of Taoism is far beyond their imagination. Many things came from Kate's mouth, which made them think for a long time to understand, which made them realize that the distance between Kate and them was like heaven and earth.

After a night of tossing, three people parted, and this night, Ruoying Tang finally got a good sleep.

Yat sen villa snowed in the room, and through the window she saw nothing on the roof. He looked at the stars in the sky over there. Snowflakes in the wind seemed to be afraid of disturbing his thoughts and falling around him in the distance.

See this scene, yat sen villa snow can't help but sigh. It's really like a foreigner coming into this world, and even snowflakes can't bear to disturb him.

As the sun rose the next morning, the snow began to melt slowly in the sun. After sitting on the roof all night, Qing didn't see Kyoto come alive.

The smell and sound of people's activities enter his senses. If described by temperature, the temperature in this city is rising rapidly.

With a lot of snow melting, some guests came to Linglong Pavilion to choose their favorite treasures.

People who can come to Linglong Pavilion are either rich or expensive. They choose something from time to time, but they are not satisfied.

"The coral in your East China Sea is not as good as Baoming Pavilion?" The rich man said with a sneer.

"The supply of goods in the East China Sea is a little tight, so ..." The person who made things difficult for Linglong Pavilion could not help but explain.

"Hum." Everyone knows that the people in Baomingge robbed the goods in Linglongge and then sold them, but this kind of talk by strength needs to be saved by strength.

"Go, go to Baomingge, there is nothing pleasing to the eye here." As he left first, some people followed him to Baoming Pavilion.

Shang Ruoying clenched his fist and came down from upstairs. She saw this scene. Feeling that there are two malicious strands in the distance, she knows that this is a double ghost to protect herself.

"Fake! Fake! " A group of hooligans appeared at the entrance of Linglong Pavilion and made a scene. One of them smashed the jade in his hand in the street.

"Linglong pavilion actually sells this kind of jade that is broken when it falls. This is a lie! "

"Give a statement!"

"Give a statement!" With the arrival of the Linglong Pavilion guards, it became more lively. Some of them even craned their necks and shouted to cut him down.

When the noise came to his ears, he got up from the roof and walked to the noisy place in the snow. Seeing those noisy people, I saw Shang Ruoying, who looks ugly, and I also saw the double ghosts with malicious intentions in the center of the crowd.

There is an array in the capital, which has been reinforced and improved for hundreds of years. This array can limit the power of Taoism. Only 30% of the people in the world can perform Taoism in Kyoto, and even among these 30%, only a few people will exert their due power without being restricted by the array law. Most of these people are Taoist priests who have been famous for many years, and they rarely appear in the world of mortals, let alone act easily. Every action in their realm will have a causal relationship with people, and a subtle thing may make them die in the end, and the Millennium practice will be destroyed.

So all disputes in Kyoto are solved by fighting, and the guards in this part of Kyoto are the strongest.

"Silence." As Qing Wu opened his mouth on the roof, people in the street found that although they could open their mouths, they couldn't make a sound.

The double ghosts in the crowd discovered this for the first time, and they communicated with each other.

"Brother, the strength of this person?"

"Very strong." As the crowd excitedly continued to shout loudly, it was useless.

There is no way to clean the roof step by step, just like stepping on an invisible staircase and falling to the ground. The crowd was shocked by such a scene. At that time, they thought they had met a fairy middleman, and several people who started making trouble were also afraid. They can't help but retreat.

Behind the self-protection mountain, the double ghosts continued to call them, and they ran safely to the front of Qing Wu to continue to make trouble. There are immortal people behind it.

"Kneel down." When some people kneel, they only feel that there is a huge force pressing on them. At this time, they felt afraid, and the Force seemed to break their necks in the next moment.

In front of this scene, the eldest brother in the double ghost of self-protection mountain asked.

"If you cast spells in downtown, aren't you afraid of the court?" Qing Wu looked at those ghosts who came out of the mountains to protect themselves. His face was over forty years old, and his face was a little dark. His thin body was the trace left by practicing some left-wing techniques. The smell of these two people made Qing not disgusted, which was left by countless people who died under their hands.

"Drowning." I looked straight at the ghost in the mountain of self-protection, and I said two words. Under the gaze of Shang Ruoying, the expressions of Mangshan ghosts became dull, and then they trembled as if they had met something terrible.

Just arrived in yat sen villa snow just saw this scene, she was a little surprised, and then feel understood. The large array in Kyoto will restrict people from practicing Taoism, but it will not restrict this illusion against the human soul. It's just that the illusion that can affect the two ghosts in Mangshan is not common.

In the dreamland, the ghost of Mangshan is in the deep sea, and waves of waves attack them. They struggled to reach the surface of the sea. As soon as they took a breath, bigger waves drove them deeper into the sea floor, and they gradually lost their breath. At this moment, they feel that they are mortal and will drown soon.

With the frightened cry of the younger brother in the Mangshan double ghost, the senior brother who heard the younger brother's voice struggled out of the dreamland.

My brother in a cold sweat pulled his brother's body away, and there was a sound in the air.

"Boy, have the courage to come to Cangshan."

"Oh." Qing Wu looked at two people disappear, turned around and solved the magic of all, and entered the Linglong Pavilion.

Yesterday's room, hot tea was poured into the cup, and Qing Wu looked at the green tea in her arms and asked.

"Sister, what does Cangshan mean?"

"There are always people in Kyoto who are dissatisfied with the result of the battle. They thought that Kyoto limited their strength, so they met to fight again on Cangshan Mountain outside the city. " Shang Reying took a sip of green tea and continued.

"Little brother, you?" Yat sen villa snow is also very curious about what Qing Wu will do.

"The elder sister's wife hasn't painted for a long time." I can't hear you longing for the present feeling, as you wish today.

As Qing waved his right hand, Shang Ruoying's sword in the lower back was drawn, and the bright blade exuded a sharp shock wave.

The three men with swords turned around and then flew out of the window towards Cangshan.

Yat sen villa snow felt the sword shaking behind him, and Han Yun, the famous sword of Beihai Xianmen, wanted to be drawn and die with Han Heng.

"Oh." With a sip of green tea, and constant sword has flown over Cangshan.

"Hum." The double ghosts in Mangshan found the sword in the sky, and the breath on the sword was the kid they played with. Anger from the heart, knowing that the other party is not weak is a stunt of fame, and evil spirits eat the sky.

The horrible black gas formed a huge double-headed evil ghost behind them, and the sky was dark.

The sword in the air turned into a light and flew down, flying over them in an unstoppable moment.

The last sound they heard was the sound of the sword, which contained the joy of the sword.

The heads of two ghosts in Mangshan fell to the ground, and their last thought was what Master had said.

The real sword fairy was dead when he saw the sword. At the last moment of their lives, they had a new understanding of this sentence.

As the double-headed evil spirits in the sky dispersed, when the sun shone on two headless bodies, people realized that they were dead!

Mangshan double ghost died like this!

As the sword with the sword flew back to the scabbard behind Shang Ruoying from outside the city, they felt that the sword with the sword was over.

So it's over?

Qing Wu took the last sip of tea, took Shang Ruoying's left hand and wrote on the back of her hand with his right index finger.

A clear blue word appeared on the back of Shang Ruoying's left hand, and then slowly disappeared. Green don't let go.

"Elder sister, if you need anything, you can give me a call. If I live, I will keep you safe all your life. " If there is nothing, yat sen villa snow will envy. Not everyone dares to make such a promise.

"Brother ..."

"Han Heng doesn't like the teacher elder sister now." Qing Wu got up and left Linglong Pavilion and went to two people.

Shang ruoying knows who he is going to find and why. Looking at the back of the hand as white as snow, feeling the sound of sword after sword gradually ceased, she made a decision.

The next day, the sword went out of the city and entered Cangshan. In an instant, the double ghosts spread all over Kyoto, but people could no longer find the little Taoist priest who appeared in Linglong Pavilion, and even Shang Ruoying, the owner of Linglong Pavilion, disappeared.

In Kyoto Palace

The son of heaven sat on his throne and looked at the praetorian guard below and asked.

"Is this the result of your daily monitoring of practitioners?"

"The emperor pardoned." Everyone has heard the story of killing two ghosts with one sword, but the large array in Kyoto has not figured out when the Taoist entered Kyoto and when he left.

"Buddhist, what do you think?" Such people keep him awake. If he wants his own life, can he only watch himself die?

"No wonder the king is in charge of this matter. That Taoist reminds me of a past event. Does the emperor remember the massacre of a large number of babies 18 years ago? "

"Are these two things related?" Of course he knows, when he is not an emperor. His father was furious about it. Someone killed more than 300 babies, and no one can find out who did it.

"This Taoist priest is the baby who survived that year." If nothing survives, more babies will die.

"What is the reason?" Tianzi is a little curious. Why can he do this in more than ten years?

"It's a long story ..."

This month 15 is the day when the Queen goes home to visit her relatives.

Today, the Wu family welcomed a long-lost guest. Ruoying, a businessman in red with a sword, came to the Wu family to visit her long-lost friend, who is now in Wu Huanghou.

Walking into the familiar room and pulling down the red hood, Shang Ruoying looked at the familiar figure and couldn't help laughing. Lying in bed is a very comfortable image. Although the red spun yarn covered her body, the faintly visible lines made her feel a little charming.

"You seldom come to see me. What can I do for you? " Let a person bone crisp lazy voice asked Tang Ruoying.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for years." They haven't met for a long time since she married the son of heaven.

"So what on earth made you want to see me?" Wu understands that Shang Ruoying must have made some kind of decision before coming to see her. Their family is a military commander's family, and they are fully armed. One is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and her wealth is extremely rich. These two families will also have headaches and can't sleep.

"A few days ago, my younger brother came and killed the ghost of Mangshan with one sword."

"I know this. The street has been singing these days. Tell me about your little brother. "

"Little teacher younger brother, he ..." After listening to Shang Ruoying's introduction, Wu could not help but speak.

"It's a pity that your little brother must be a man without lust, otherwise I would like him very much." The way those men look at her is only desire. It is rare to meet a man who is a Taoist without lust.

"So you figured it out." If Bao Ming Pavilion is Shang Ruoying's biggest headache, then there is another thing that makes her headache.

"Well, I figured it out." Over the past year, those uncles have been looking for a famous son for her, and some even want her to marry a businessman, so that Nuoda's business will not flow out, but she is either a cousin or a cousin. Some of these people are looking forward to her getting married early and getting rid of Linglong Pavilion, while others are looking forward to her marrying Linglong Pavilion to their home as soon as possible. She had seen enough of that ugly face, so she made a decision.

What she wants to do is Shang Ruoying, not the owner of Linglong Pavilion.

"I've come to say goodbye to you and give you a big gift at the same time." Shang Ruoying's golden light flew into the red yarn, and Wu was startled after catching it.

Golden dress, she rushed out, looking at Shang Reying solemnly asked.

"Are you serious?"

"well. You are more suitable than me. " As soon as Shang Ruoying saw it, he moved the idea of giving Linglong Pavilion, but refused to accept it, so he thought of Wu. Qing Wu didn't like the sentence that she used a sword before she left, so she let her make this decision.

"Oh, what a nice gift." Wu couldn't help but take out a bottle of her long-cherished green wine. Before, she was scolded for taking a sip of wine.

"Please." The two men drank some wine and chatted about the past. They have known each other since childhood, and their friendship for more than 20 years is also very rare.

With Wu writing her name on the contract, she will become the owner of Linglong Pavilion from today. As for the queen, whoever loves to be her, from now on, whoever dares to ask her for money will interrupt, and her father will not live. She's married.

As the night deepened, Wu leaned against the gate and watched Shang Ruoying disappear into the night.

She stood up straight and saluted Shang Ruoying. Their fate will change from today. She has gone to the Jianghu to pursue her dreams, and she also wants to pursue what she wants.

"Empress, in the dead of night, it's time to go back to the palace."

"Ah, what back to the palace. Go back and tell the dog emperor that from today on, I will only be the owner of Linglong Pavilion, Wu Yimei. " The situation in those days forced her to marry the son of heaven now, and she was not satisfied with this marriage at all. When she was a child, she often rolled on the ground several times, dusted her face, and beat those tyrannical princes and called them Dad. Coincidentally, the prince at that time and the son of heaven now were also beaten by her. She really looked down on the little fat man at that time and him now.

"Uncle." With the shouts of Wu Meiyi, a man with a cold face and dark skin appeared. His only remaining eyes glanced at the little maid-in-waiting, so that she turned pale and ran towards the palace. This man is so cruel that he seems to want to kill her.

"Miss?" Three uncle few words, looking at Wu Mei instrument asked. In his eyes, only Miss Wu Jia.

"Find a few powerful players to go to BaoMingGe with me. Today, Linglong Pavilion and Baoming Pavilion are all surnamed Wu. " Inexplicable rags appeared from his uncle's one-eyed, and the little girl he liked came back. This is the Wu family.

It is best to cheat Brother Bao Ming while the Queen's tiger skin is still there. At that time, the dog emperor can ask for money and write an iou with interest, which can be cheaper for the sake of husband and wife. He tried to interrupt him with a dog's paw for no reason.

When the emperor in the palace heard what the queen passed on to him, he angrily smashed the jade cup in his hand.

They have been model couples in front of outsiders these years, and only he knows how much that woman hates her. On the wedding night, she drew a knife from her lower back and asked him, do you think my knife is good or bad?

He slept on the floor that night. Their marriage is to stabilize the situation. At that time, Qin Shihuang once said that Wu was a woman. At that time, he was confident that he could conquer Kyoto, a famous martial tiger, but it turned out that life hit him in the face and he had to swallow this tone.

The Buddhist on the astrological platform looked at the stars in the sky and sighed. The dragon is weak and the phoenix is strong, and the country changes hands. He is loyal to the people, not to the emperor. He served as the national teacher of several emperors. Even if the future emperor is a woman, it will not affect him to continue to serve the people of the world.

Ruoying Tang never imagined that this day she gave Wu an exquisite pavilion, and the future Wu gave her son one, the world!
