Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 20 see through the red dust
Murong Xuan smiled generously and said, "Why, are you a little disappointed?"

"Uh... no, it's much more beautiful than I imagined." Ren Qinglian laughed.

Murong Xuan's face became hot, a lot of shyness appeared, and he lowered his head.

For a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

It was only now that Ren Qinglian remembered that her own words seemed a little too exaggerated.

With a dry cough, he said again: "Why is the girl here, and there is that sapphire evil way?"

Speaking of business, Murong Xuan became calm again.

He smiled and said, "Speaking of it, Junior Sister Linglong reminded me."

"Junior Sister Linglong?" Ren Qinglian was a little puzzled.

"'Merry Sword Ruffian' is really a heartless person, you still couldn't forget my junior sister a few days ago." Murong Xuan said with a narrow face.

Hua Linglong's figure flashed in Ren Qinglian's mind, "Could it be Miss Linglong?"

Murong Xuan smiled, and then explained.

It turned out that besides participating in the Martial Arts Conference, Murong Xuan's more important purpose in coming to Beijing this time was to recruit disciples for the Nishang Sect.

The inheritance of this Nishang School is somewhat different. Although there are men among their disciples, most of the people in the world who make a living by playing qin music are prostitutes.

Therefore, quite a large part of their disciples are Qing Dynasty men recruited from brothels.

As the top card of Fengyue Pavilion, Hua Linglong was naturally one of the key objects of Murong Xuan's investigation during this trip.

And after a period of contact, she has already made a default appointment for Hua Linglong.

After the Martial Arts Conference ended that day, the overjoyed Murong Xuan naturally asked the teachers and sisters in Chang'an City to rehearse the new version of "Moonlight Night on the Spring River".

Among them, Ren Qinglian, the author of the lyric, was inevitably mentioned, which caused Hua Linglong's surprise.

It was only now that Murong Xuan knew that Ren Qinglian was a frequent visitor of Hua Linglong, out of curiosity about Ren Qinglian, he asked about Ren Qinglian.

Hua Linglong had a heart-to-heart relationship with Ren Qingyun before, and she knew no less about the grievances of Baijiange than Ren Qinglian, and combined with some clues mentioned before Ren Qingyun's sudden death, she vaguely deduced who actually murdered Ren Qingyun.

Originally, after Ren Qinglian took over as the master of Baijian Pavilion, she wanted to remind him, but after thinking about it, she forgot it. After all, judging from Ren Qinglian's past image, it would be safer to maintain that ignorant state. Mentioning it, on the contrary, it will arouse the vigilance of the enemy and bring Ren Qinglian to death.

Now knowing that Ren Qinglian won the martial arts conference and got a pill that can improve her skills, Hua Linglong speculates that she will be killed by the secret enemy when she returns to the pavilion tonight.

Of course, she couldn't ignore it.When she joined the Nishang faction that day, she had the intention of avenging Ren Qingyun.Although Ren Qinglian has been entangled with her several times, her various behaviors are even more childish, which makes her feel that after Ren Qingyun leaves, she has the responsibility to help take care of his brother who will never grow up.

With Hua Linglong's request for help, coupled with Murong Xuan's original curiosity about Ren Qinglian, there was the scene not long ago when the beauty rescued Hua Shao.

However, Ren Qinglian was quite curious about the real Yuan she mentioned.

"What is the origin of that Yuan Zhenren? Is he the helper you invited?"

"Renren Yuan's fortune-telling is very accurate. He guessed that the evil way will appear here, so he met me on the way here." Murong Xuan thought for a while.

"Such a god, isn't the fortune teller Taoist surnamed Yuan called Yuan Shoucheng?" Ren Qinglian opened her mouth.

"Then I don't know, but you have to thank him very much. Although I wanted to save you, that abominable Qingyu Taoist is too powerful. If it weren't for Yuan Zhenren, I might be here too. And , you were poisoned just now, and it was only after Yuan Zhenren reminded you to feed the eyes of that lazy toad that you got better..."

"What, toad's eyes, vomit..." Although the eyeballs of the three-eyed golden toad actually smell very fragrant, as long as you are a normal person, you can't help but feel dry when you think that you have actually swallowed the eyes of a lazy toad. Vomit a few times.

However, Ren Qinglian is already a first-class martial artist after all, and her physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people. After retching a few times, she didn't really vomit.

When Murong Xuan saw it, he giggled a few times.

Ren Qinglian saw that she was not as cold as she had seen during the day, she looked like an innocent girl, so she couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and thanked her solemnly: "No matter what, I still want to thank the girl for her kindness."

Murong Xuan smiled and said, "Then how can you thank me?"

"Girl, just ask what you want, I, Ren Qinglian, can do it, and I will do it for you through thick and thin."

"There's no need to go through fire and water. Otherwise, you can write a few more lyrics for me to sing."

"it is good!"

Ren Qinglian didn't want to owe a favor to a girl's family, so she casually sang a few lines of poems that were widely sung by later generations to her.

Originally, Murong Xuan was just joking casually, but Ren Qinglian actually sang a few lines out of her mouth.

She read it carefully, and when she got to the wonderful place, she couldn't help singing out loud. After a long time, she bit her cherry lips and said, "Mr. Going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?"

Ren Qinglian nodded, "This world is too vast, I want to go out and have a look."

"But I heard from my master that there are monsters lingering in the mountains after leaving the Liangjie Mountains, not to mention how dangerous the road is to the west. I don't want you to suffer any harm..."

As Murong Xuan spoke, his voice became lower and lower. If Ren Qinglian's ear power hadn't improved too much, she wouldn't have heard her last sentence.

Ren Qinglian couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and said, "My lady, I am very grateful for your kindness, but the experience of this period of time has already made me see through the world of mortals. Following Master Xuanzang, on the contrary, I can transcend myself and understand the truth."

Secretly, he gave a wry smile, he didn't expect Young Master Ren's skill in teasing girls to be even better in his own hands.

How could he fail to see Murong Xuan's faint affection for him through his two lives.

However, he could also understand that although Murong Xuan was a member of the world, the particularity of the Nishang School determined that she was still a literary young woman, and it was not surprising that she was fascinated by a few of her poems.But after all, he was just a copyist, and he never thought of going further in this area, and the few poems he plagiarized at random were just at the right time.

Murong Xuan stared at him in a daze, she had seen handsome young men in the martial arts world, and also met elegant and elegant scholars, but she was moved by some of Ren Qinglian's poems, but it was only a faint feeling.Before this feeling could fully bloom, it was killed by the other party himself.

In order to avoid further embarrassment, Ren Qinglian changed the subject and said: "By the way, you just said that Yuan Zhenren went after that evil way, and he went in that direction. Let's see if we can help you?"

Murong Xuan nodded, and the two figures walked towards the direction where Taoist Qingyu disappeared one after the other.
