Chapter 194: Although the years are long, it is worth the wait
……
In the afternoon, he was still in the riverside wetland, and Jiang Cheng practiced his basic skills hard under the supervision of Xiang Li.
Jiang Cheng did not use the true yuan, but now he is as big as the wind, as fast as electricity, with a powerful move, holding a withered branch in his hand, but wielding the momentum of a big sword!
But Xiang Ya still shook his head dissatisfied: "Stop." ”
She walked over: "You don't move right, you don't have to fight so fast, you pay attention to the angle, and you have to shake your wrists......" was about to grab his hand and teach him how to do it, Xiang Ya suddenly realized something, and felt that this scene was really similar to some of the plots in the TV series called The Condor Heroes.
So she hesitated, then coughed twice and retracted her hand: "Anyway, you listen to me, pay attention to the angle and the position of the force, fast is not the most important thing...... You, you go ahead, I'll guide you by the side. ”
Jiang Cheng looked at her and narrowed his eyes: "Are you a little hot?"
"What do you say?" Xiang Ya said strangely: "Although I am not afraid of the cold, but this is also almost late autumn, and the wind is quite hard, how can it be hot." ”
Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up: "Then what are you blushing about?"
Xiang Ya was stunned for a moment, then picked up a stone and made a gesture to throw it, annoyed and angry: "Who told you to stop!
"Okay, okay, don't do it!" Jiang Cheng pretended to be frightened, but actually snickered in his heart, and began to practice again.
As for this stone, Xiang Li casually threw it on the surface of the river with skill.
This relatively flat stone is like a dragonfly on the water, little by little, sweeping into the distance......
……
Later, Xiang Ya and Jiang Cheng walked by the river, slowly pacing forward.
Jiang Cheng was already sweating profusely, took off his coat and only wore a vest, and wiped the sweat on his head with his coat, he turned his head and asked Xiang Ya: "You say...... When can you teach me some advanced exercises?"
Xiang Ya snorted: "You can't even use the basic sassy swordsmanship now, don't you want to ascend to the sky in one step, it's early, and ...... later" Speaking of this, Xiang Ya suddenly stopped.
She looked at the sparkling water, and was stunned for a while, and then she didn't know what to consider, she changed her words and said: "In the evening, I will write down some of the advanced exercises of our Kunlun Sword Sect on paper for you, even if you can't use them now, you can also understand them first, in fact, many high-level exercises pay attention to the articles of the true yuan running in the meridians, not like the sassy sword technique, which needs to be practiced hard often to be used well, the kind that as long as the talent is enough, the true yuan and realm are enough, you can use it when the time comes." ”
Jiang Cheng felt a little strange: "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Xiang Li shook her head: "I just thought of this suddenly, and there is nothing wrong with giving it to you in advance, after all, ......" She bit her lower lip: "I will not be here for a while in the future." ”
"That's not right. Jiang Cheng turned to look at her: "It's not that you won't come back, how can you give me a ...... The feeling of going to do something uncertain. ”
Xiang Li knocked on his forehead, and Jiang Cheng cried out in pain.
She said lightly: "Don't guess, there is no thing, it's just that the world is impermanent, and there are some precious things, write them down first and keep them, which is also a kind of precaution." ”
The two continued to walk forward, Jiang Cheng covered his forehead, and said strangely: "You know, I'm a very sensitive person...... The feeling you've given me these days isn't quite right, especially what you just said...... Generally, the heroine in Korean dramas is terminally ill, and that's how it ......"
Xiang Ya looked at him angrily and funny: "You curse me?"
"Don't you dare to ......" Jiang Cheng deliberately said half-jokingly: "How dare you curse you, I didn't dare to chase you......" After speaking, he squinted and secretly looked at her reaction.
Xiang Li can now fully understand this relatively modern wording, her expression changed slightly, and then she immediately covered it up, pretending not to understand and continued to walk forward: "Hey, what is that stone tablet in front?"
Although he knew that she deliberately wanted to tear away the topic, Jiang Cheng still glanced forward, only to see that not far ahead, there was a high dirt slope, surrounded by a simple steel fence, and in the middle was a stone tablet that looked extremely simple, not big, only one person high.
At this time, there was an old silver-haired couple, who were looking down and chattering there, not knowing what to do, as if they were digging something.
Jiang Cheng and Xiang Ya were okay now, so they walked over.
I saw that under the stone stele, the old man who didn't have much hair left, was holding a small shovel, digging up the soil on the ground, the soil on this soil slope is not as much water as the wetland below, relatively dry, not very easy to dig.
"What are you digging old man?" Jiang Cheng leaned over: "Do you need help?"
"Oh, no, no. The old woman next to her had very clear eyes, with glasses with big gold wire frames, and said with a smile: "Thank you, young man, don't trouble you." ”
"Hehe, dig it out, it's still there. The old man breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up, and threw the little shovel away.
Jiang Cheng and the others looked down, only to see that in the open soil, there was a package wrapped in a layer of oiled paper.
Jiang Cheng glanced at the stone stele, this side facing the yin, there was nothing, bare; Xiang Li stood on the south side and said, "These four characters are quite beautiful. ”
Jiang Cheng turned around, looked up, and saw four big characters written on the stone tablet:
All wishes come true.
The old man opened the oiled paper package, which was an iron box the size of a suitcase, he opened it carefully, took out some things that were still wrapped in oilpaper from it, and opened it again, and saw that it was some envelopes, and looked at it for some years.
There was also a glass wine bottle with a wooden cork on it, and inside were two balls of paper.
The old man saw Jiang Cheng and the two and smiled at them: "This is the wishing box we made when we were young." ”
"Wishing box?" Xiang Ya seemed interested in the name.
The old man picked up the bottle with some pride and shook it twice: "Do you see the paper ball inside?" This is written by the two of us, neither of us knows what is written, it is our wish back then, we stuff it inside, bury it, and make an appointment, if we are still alive in thirty years, come and take it out together." ”
"The second elder is quite caring. Jiang Cheng understood as soon as he heard it: "Now young people are starting to play time capsules, but I didn't expect you to do it decades ago." ”
Xiang Li couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you want...... What have you promised?
The two old men looked at each other, and the old man smiled: "She won't let me know what she promised, anyway...... Mine is realized. ”
The old lady also pursed her lips and smiled: "Mine has also come true." ”
Xiang Ya asked again, "What about these letters on the ground?"
"Oh, these are. The old man picked it up and held it in his hand: "It's all treasures." ”
The old lady was a little embarrassed, and slapped him gently: "What a baby, it's just some waste paper, you had to bury it at the beginning." ”
The old man smiled: "It's all our love letter back then, haha." ”
Xiang Li also pursed his lips and smiled after hearing this.
Jiang Cheng asked, "Why is it buried here, and where did this monument come from?"
The old man looked up: "In fact, it was a coincidence, we saw that there was a tablet here, on which the words were written into four words, I felt auspicious, anyway, I couldn't think of anything more suitable, so I buried it here, it was wonderful to think about, it has developed so fast over the years, and the ground is being broken everywhere, this tablet has been preserved, even with the things we hid in it, it has also been preserved to this day, which is embarrassing." ”
It seems that the two old men are cultural people, and Jiang Cheng is also quite emotional, all those who have withstood the invasion of time, whether it is people or things, will always seem a little more flavorful.
This is especially true of love.
"This monument...... Later, I inquired. The old man went around and looked at the big words on it in the bright light: "It is said that there is nothing special, Jianghai City was still a wasteland, at most a fishing village, there was a Taoist priest who came here, in this Qing Xiu, and then when he left, he got this stele, the words on it were engraved by him, and then after several twists and turns, the world changed, the stele was still there, and it was painted again, and it was protected by a fence next to it, as a small and beautiful ...... It's not an attraction of the attraction. ”
"Alright, it's not too early. The old lady tugged at his hand and said to the two, "We're almost going back to cooking...... But don't really say it, I think this monument is quite spiritual, you two young are lovers, right? You can also make a wish here, you see that we have come over the years, and we have basically never quarreled much, this life, it is relatively complete. ”
Xiang Ya rarely refuted.
The two old men went away and filled in the pit before leaving.
The two of them faced the river breeze and looked at those four words.
As the sun set, two young men and women stood in front of the stone monument and suddenly glanced at each other.
This picture seems to be frozen at this moment, the light of the setting sun seems to coat this picture with a layer of gold leaf, the river and the stone tablet, moving and still, but as if eternal.
