step on mountains and rivers

Chapter 149 Taihua 1

Everyone walked into Taihua, and Chu Linglong took them to a yard near Nuanhe to rest.

In the room, Chu Linglong poured tea for everyone and sat beside Li Zhenwu.She looked at Li Zhenwu and saw that he didn't seem to be angry anymore, so she said softly:

"Senior Brother Zhenwu, you should live in this courtyard. This is very close to the Nuanhe River, and there are many warm springs nearby. The senior brother must have traveled a long distance and must be tired. You can go to the warm springs later to relieve your fatigue."

"Well, thank you very much. Ms. Chu......Linglong, let's talk about business first."

Li Zhenwu looked at Chu Linglong, and seeing that she was so careful, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with him, so he softened his words.

When Chu Linglong heard Li Zhenwu calling her name, her worried heart suddenly became happy.She smiled slightly at Li Zhenwu, and then said happily:

"Okay. Brother Zhenwu, since Wudang parted, I have been investigating the matter of the Four Sages Palace with my brothers. The Four Sages Palace is quite powerful in Beichuan, and the Xuanwu Palace on Xuanwu Mountain is the branch of the Four Sages Palace."

"Xuanwu Palace, we heard about it before we came to Taihua. I heard that they are arresting people everywhere. Does Miss Chu know why?" Li Zhenwu asked.

"That's right, even Senior Brother Zhenwu knows that they are arresting people everywhere. It seems that the Xuanwu Palace is getting more and more rampant." Chu Linglong said.

"Miss Chu, what happened to the arrest?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

Seeing Tang Qingfeng asking, Chu Linglong looked at him and said solemnly:

"Xuanwu Palace has been arresting people, but they arrested few people before, most of them were villagers near Xuanwu Mountain. But in the past two months, they have become more rampant. Not only are more and more people arrested, but also the scope is getting wider and wider. Even the villagers near Taihua are often harassed by them."

"What are they arresting so many people for?" Jiang Ling asked, puzzled by Chu Linglong's words.

"I'm not quite sure yet. After several months of investigation by my brothers and I, I only know that they divided the arrested people into two groups, one group was sent to the Great Sacred Mountain, and the other group was sent to Xuanwu Hall." Chu Linglong returned.

"The Great Sacred Mountain? Why did they send people to the Great Sacred Mountain?" Lu Qing asked.

"I don't know." Chu Linglong shook her head, and then said: "The Great Sacred Mountain is a ten thousand-year-old iceberg, with a vast territory, and it is always windy and snowy. It is very easy to get lost if you enter it rashly, and besides, it is the Xuanwu Palace, so I don't know much about it. "

"Then why did they arrest people and go to Xuanwu Hall?" Li Zhenwu asked.

"I don't know the details, but they seem to be making something." Chu Linglong replied.

After listening to Chu Linglong's words, Li Zhenwu thought for a moment, looked at Tang Qingfeng and said:

"Brother Tang."

"Well, it seems so." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"Old Tang, then we have to go to Xuanwu Hall to stop them," Jiang Ling said.

"Jiangling, don't be impulsive. We are not familiar with the Xuanwu Hall, so it would be dangerous to go there rashly. In addition, the matter in the Great Sacred Mountain is also very strange. This matter needs to be investigated and acted on." Lu Qing said.

After listening to the words of several people, Chu Linglong looked at Li Zhenwu in a daze and asked:

"Brother Zhenwu, what are you talking about?"

Seeing her doubts, Li Zhenwu told her about the magic weapon and the ice meteorite.

After hearing this, Chu Linglong nodded and said:

"So that's it. The Great Sacred Mountain is a ten thousand year old iceberg, and it is very likely that it is the place where the ice meteor is located. As for the Xuanwu Hall, didn't they arrest people to build magical weapons in the Xuanwu Hall?"

"Not sure yet, but that's what we guessed too." Li Zhenwu replied.

"Well, Senior Brother Zhenwu, let's investigate as soon as possible." Chu Linglong said.

"Okay, but this matter still needs to be discussed carefully." Li Zhenwu replied.

"Okay." Chu Linglong said, looking at the sky outside, and then said to Li Zhenwu:

"Senior Brother Zhenwu, it's getting late today, you guys should rest first. I'll report this to my father first, and we can discuss the investigation with him tomorrow." Chu Linglong said.

"Okay, please trouble Miss Chu." Li Zhenwu said.

"Brother Zhenwu, you're welcome." Chu Linglong was about to stand up when she suddenly realized that Li Zhenwu hadn't eaten yet, so she continued:

"Brother Zhenwu, you haven't eaten yet. Wait a minute, brother. I'll go and ask the servant to bring the food."

"Thank you." Li Zhenwu said.

"You're welcome, then I'll go first, Senior Brother Zhenwu has a good rest." After returning with a smile, Chu Linglong stood up and walked out of the gate.

In the room, everyone was eating the food that Chu Linglong sent.Looking at the light dishes on the table, Jiang Ling looked a little ugly and said:

"Miss Chu is too stingy, isn't she still angry about the Shanmen incident, deliberately giving us such bland food?"

"Probably not." Lu Qing said.

"Why not? No wine, no meat, she must have done it on purpose." Jiang Ling said.

After Lu Qing listened to his words, he looked at the dishes on the table. They were indeed some light vegetarian dishes, and he couldn't figure out what Chu Linglong meant.

Tang Qingfeng glanced at the dishes, and instantly understood what Chu Linglong meant, so he said to Jiang Ling and Lu Qing who were puzzled:

"She is not angry, these are Zhenwu's favorite dishes on the table."

"Really?" Jiang Ling looked at Li Zhenwu and asked doubtfully after hearing Tang Qingfeng's words.

Seeing his doubts, Li Zhenwu nodded slightly.

"I see." Lu Qingwu said.

"She was too kind to Brother Li," Jiang Ling said.

Li Zhenwu looked at the table full of vegetarian dishes, frowned slightly, and apologized to Jiang Ling:

"Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, I'll talk to Miss Chu tomorrow, let's make it easy today."

Hearing what Li Zhenwu said, Jiang Ling didn't continue to struggle, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating quickly.

Lu Qing didn't care about these things at all. Seeing that Jiang Ling seemed to have quite an appetite, he began to eat with confidence.

Tang Qingfeng has long been used to Li Zhenwu's bland taste. He looked at Li Zhenwu and was very happy to eat.

Seeing that everyone was eating happily, Li Zhenwu also picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

After eating, Jiang Ling said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Old Tang, Miss Chu just said that there is a warm spring nearby, let's go and see it together?"

"Warm spring?" Tang Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Zhenwu beside him and said:

"Zhenwu, let's go and have a look. Everyone has been exhausted recently, so it's better to go to the warm spring for bubbles."

"Yes." Li Zhenwu replied.

After the two finished talking, Jiang Ling said to Lu Qing, "Lu Qing, let's go."

"Okay." After Lu Qing returned, everyone walked out of the yard together.

Beside the Nuan River, Jiang Ling looked at the large and small warm springs in front of him with a smile in his eyes.

He quickly glanced at the warm spring, then pointed to a five-foot-wide warm spring near the Nuan River and said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Old Tang, I'll choose that one"

After Tang Qingfeng glanced at the warm spring he had chosen, he said slowly, "As you wish."

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, he pointed to a ten-foot-wide warm spring in the distance and said to Li Zhenwu:

"Zhenwu, how is that over there?"

Hearing his question, Li Zhenwu looked at the warm spring in the distance, and saw that it was very spacious. Thinking that Tang Qingfeng also likes spaciousness, he nodded and said, "It looks good."

"Really? If Zhenwu likes it, we will choose that one." Seeing that Li Zhenwu was satisfied, Tang Qingfeng smiled at him.

"Huh????" Hearing what Tang Qingfeng said, Li Zhenwu looked at him suspiciously.

Seeing his doubts, Tang Qingfeng smiled and explained to him:

"Zhenwu, let's go together."

After Li Zhenwu heard his words, a blush quickly appeared on his face. He looked away from Tang Qingfeng, lowered his head slightly and said to Tang Qingfeng:

"Brother Tang, this seems inappropriate."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Tang Qingfeng asked with a smile.

"Brother Tang, we..." Li Zhenwu was about to say something, but Tang Qingfeng interrupted with a smile:

"Zhenwu, we are all men, isn't it normal to take a bath together?"

Li Zhenwu was stunned for a moment after hearing Tang Qingfeng's words.He looked at Tang Qingfeng, thought for a while, and suddenly realized that what he said was indeed reasonable, but at some point, he actually brought himself into a strange state.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. As for what it was, he was not quite sure.

Just when Li Zhenwu was struggling, Jiang Ling heard Tang Qingfeng's words, and said to Lu Qing suddenly:

"That's right! Lu Qing, what Old Tang said was right, did I feel stupid just now?"

Seeing what Jiang Ling said, Lu Qing fell silent for a moment.

Just when Lu Qing was speechless, Jiang Ling glanced at Nuanquan and said to him:

"Lu Qing, just that one, it's wide enough."

Lu Qing glanced at Jiang Ling's choice, then slightly looked away and said:

"Very good, you go."

"Lu Qing, what are you talking about? I deliberately chose such a wide one for the sake of..." Jiang Ling glanced at Tang Qingfeng as he spoke, and then stopped talking.

"Let's go." Jiang Ling said, pulling Lu Qing to the Nuanquan chosen by him.

After watching the two leave, Tang Qingfeng saw that Li Zhenwu was still in a daze, so he called him out:

"True martial arts."

Li Zhenwu was thinking about it, and suddenly heard Tang Qingfeng's words, and quickly recovered and said:

"okay."

Seeing him like this, Tang Qingfeng smiled at him and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Huh? Where are you going?" Li Zhenwu asked.

"Go soak in the warm spring." Tang Qingfeng leaned over as he said, and whispered in Li Zhenwu's ear: "I will take good care of Zhenwu later."

"...Brother Tang..." Li Zhenwu's face turned red after hearing Tang Qingfeng's words.

Seeing him shy, Tang Qingfeng found him cute, so he smiled and asked:

"Zhenwu, what are you thinking?"

"No, nothing." Li Zhenwu replied.

"Well, let's go." Tang Qingfeng smiled.

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, he took Li Zhenwu towards the distant Nuanquan.

Jiang Ling took Lu Qing to the warm spring, and he took off his shirt and walked into the warm spring.The temperature of the warm spring is just right, and it is very comfortable to soak in.Sitting in the warm spring, he saw Lu Qing standing by the spring hesitating, so he asked:

"Lu Qing, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." After Lu Qing returned, he raised his foot and wanted to go down, but was stopped by Jiang Ling:

"Lu Qing, take off your clothes. How do you take a bath in this suit?"

"Me." Lu Qing looked at Jiang Ling, and when he was looking for an excuse, he saw Jiang Ling standing up and walking towards this side.

After Jiang Ling came to him, he whispered to him:

"The clothes are too thick. If you come down like this, not only will you not be able to soak in the warm spring, but you will also catch a cold when you go back. Lu Qing, you are a medical fairy, so you don't understand such a simple truth."

"I know." Lu Qing replied softly.

"That's good, come here, I'll help you." Jiang Ling stretched out his hand to untie Lu Qing's belt, Lu Qing just stared blankly at Jiang Ling's movements, but didn't say anything to stop him.

After Jiang Ling untied his belt, he took off his coat for Lu Qing and put it aside, and said to the dazed Lu Qing:

"Okay, take off your coat and go down. It's cold outside, but the spring water is still warm."

Lu Qing was awakened by Jiang Ling's words, and saw that he was cold, so he said:

"You go down first."

"No, I'll wait for you." Jiang Ling replied.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Lu Qing lightly took off his shirt and walked into the warm spring with Jiang Ling.
