Chapter 7: Two Things
Under the rainstorm, I don't know how many joys I entered, and I didn't know how many worries fell.
Yunshan took a shower, walked under the eaves, and watched the rain with his father, who was standing with his hands in his hands.
"I heard that you beat Butcher Zheng's youngest son again?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, the father asked without looking back.
Yun Shan let out a "hmm", followed by a sentence, "Sluts can't be reasonable." ”
"Haha......" the father laughed, "you little fellow, where did you learn to have such a poisonous mouth, why, don't you hide it?"
Yun Shan pouted: "I'm already low-key enough, otherwise, with his nondescript appearance of bells and whistles, he will ensure that he will find teeth all over the ground after one move." These guys will never understand what 'pure extreme' means. ”
Father turned his head to look at Yun Shan, his eyes showing undisguised appreciation, "I have wronged you in the past two years, but you have done a good job, even better than Dad expected." ”
"Maybe you've been wondering why you hide the edge. Two years ago, the night you broke one of Zheng Wei's legs, Zheng Butcher came to me and asked me to give him an explanation, I asked him what he wanted, and he said that he had two sons, and I only had one, so I couldn't guarantee that there would be no accidents, so let me watch it. I gave him an explanation, two punches broke him three ribs, and the guy walked away vomiting blood. Although this Zheng butcher is threatening me, it is also a reminder, after he leaves, I feel that I should really take it away, it is not a good thing to show my edge for too long, how can I say it?"
"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Yun Shan added next to him.
"Yes! That's what it means. So from then on, Dad let you hide the edge. It's not that I'm scared, it's just that I don't want to, let the advantage become your burden. ”
Yun Shan nodded, "I guessed everything." ”
The two were silent for a moment, quietly looking into the distance, the torrential rain smashed on the roof, stirring up bursts of water mist, and the water mist fell on the tiles, converging into water droplets, dripping along the eaves.
"It seems that during that time, both of them were lying at home. Yun Shan muttered.
Father and son looked at each other, then laughed.
The laughter stopped for a while, and the smile on my father's face did not decrease, "After two years, many things have faded, if you don't want to hide it, don't hide it anymore, it's uncomfortable to hold it like this." ”
"It was hard at first, but then it was fun. Yun Shan never mentioned this in front of his father.
"Oh? My father was curious.
"First, when you come and go, you can see a lot of good moves, and the process of breaking moves is very exciting, and it is also another kind of learning. ”
Father nodded, "What about the second?"
"How to play the sword more efficiently and achieve victory with less consumption. ”
"Isn't it the most efficient to break a sword?" asked my father with a smile.
"It's not the same. Yun Shan shook his head, "If it's just one enemy, then the sword will be broken, but if there are many enemies, hundreds or thousands, how hard this sword is used, whether it wastes too much physical strength, it will become very critical." Moreover, while pursuing their own efficiency, they are also observing the opponent's moves to see if there is any unnecessary waste and unnecessary habits. Sometimes just by using that, you can beat your opponent. ”
Father nodded. Fighting skills in the army are always the most direct and efficient, because on the battlefield, they have to face enemies from all directions, how to effectively kill the opponent while conserving physical strength, is the most valuable experience of those veterans who have experienced a hundred battles.
It seems that he has already realized many things by himself without teaching, which is far better than teaching.
"Is there a third?"
"Hey, hey. Yun Shan's smile carried a bad taste, "The feeling of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is very good." ”
Father and son burst into laughter again.
"Haha, this is similar to my father's back then. In that case, it's time to give you these two things. As he spoke, my father entered the house, and came out with a thick black stick in one hand and a hideous mask in the other.
In Yun Shan's puzzled eyes, his father casually threw the thick stick to him.
The thick stick was very inconspicuous, but as soon as he started it, Yun Shan knew that it was not good, and it was surprisingly heavy, but he still caught it steadily.
There must be eighty catties, Yunshan is secretly speechless.
"What is this?" Yun Shan asked, observing the thick stick in his hand. Its appearance is a six-sided prismatic shape with a rectangular slit at the bottom.
"Could it be?" Yun Shan's eyes widened, and he pulled out the "meteor" placed in the room, and then inserted it along this gap, tightly sealed, and the originally cold blade was completely hidden, and he was dark and simple.
When he saw the "Meteor" for the first time, he felt that the hilt of the sword and the sword body did not look very harmonious, and as time went by, he felt more and more that the "Meteor" was incomplete, and every time he came out of the sword, he had a feeling of being alone. I see.
"Yes, this is the scabbard of the 'Meteor', the sword weighs five catties, the scabbard weighs seventy-seven catties, a total of eighty-two catties, all of which are cast from meteoric iron outside the sky. Out of the sheath, the heavy sword has no edge, and once it is out of the sheath, it runs like a meteor, which is the true appearance of this sword. Father explained.
Yun Shan clenched the heavy scabbard and felt it complete, "Why is there no relevant record in the Divine Soldier Record?"
"Because the meteor has never appeared in its full form since it came out, it has always been prepared for you, and it was too young to give it all to you. Father explained.
Yun Shan danced a sword flower, and the heavy sword slashed through the void, buzzing, and jumped out excitedly: "Even if you smash, you can smash other people's weapons away." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, swing your sword a thousand times in a while. ”
"No problem!" Yun Shan looked at the other thing in his father's hand, and then asked, "What is this?"
"When I was young, my father led his troops to conquer a frontier tribe, and obtained this thing from the leader of that tribe, and it is said that it has a magical power that can make those who wear it invincible. Father handed over the mask.
Yun Shan looked at it over and over again, and asked, "Invincible?"
"I didn't go head-to-head with the guy on the battlefield, but I brought a few brothers into it and beheaded him, and he didn't have time to put on the mask. ”
"Is it really that amazing?" said Yun Shan, putting on his mask.
"Haha. Father laughed, "You really believe it, the legends of the local tribes are just that, if they are really so powerful, then the Streamer Country would have dominated the continent long ago." The leader of the tribe was too handsome, so he wore a mask whenever he faced the enemy, and because he was always victorious and undefeated, so there was this rumor. ”
"But it's quite comfortable to wear. Yun Shan took off his mask.
"I don't know what kind of material it's made of, it's invulnerable, it's hard for swords to enter, and sometimes it's more convenient to wear this. Father prompted.
Yun Shan looked at the two things in his hand that had never been published, thoughtfully.
"Dad, do you know about Lighthouse Harbor?" Yun Shan suddenly looked up and asked.
Father touched Yun Shan's head, "Well, good job." ”
"What's in that barrel?" Yun Shan always remembered this question.
"Daddy will sell it first, but you'll find out soon. ”
Yun Shan was a little puzzled, what does this mean? .
"Alright, put aside your curiosity for now, if you start practicing the sword now, you should be in time for tonight's banquet. His father's words made him even more confused.
Father pointed to a gilded delicate invitation on the table, "The Lin family has a fairly large banquet in the evening, and the invitation was just delivered not long before you entered the door. ”
"I don't go to a boring dinner party, I might as well read a book at home. Yun Shan shook his head and said, he didn't have the slightest interest in this kind of so-called upper-class social activities.
"Most of these banquets are boring, but this time I suggest you check them out, as far as I know, the leaders of the younger generation in the entire Streamer Country are all invited. Father suggested with a smile.
Yun Shan was noncommittal, and directly picked up his sword and practiced in the corridor. After a while, he was already sweating, and he simply took off his shirt and slashed shirtless.
The rain is still falling.
The naked body of the teenager is slender and powerful, and the muscles are well-proportioned and good-looking.
Yun Chang looked at the sweaty young man in the corridor, and said a word silently in his heart.
Kasumi, our son has grown up.
----------
Yun Shan finally decided to go to the banquet.
Because of his father's suggestion, and because the rain had just stopped, he wanted to go out to breathe.
After bathing, he changed into the dress prepared by Aunt Zhao, got into the carriage and went straight to the Lin family manor.
The Lin family manor is on a low hill in the southeast of Great Bright City, and it takes half of the city to reach it.
Yun Shan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scenery speeding by the roadside.
The air after the rain is very fresh, as if even the soil has been washed from beginning to end.
At the foot of the mountain is a forest of red maples, whose leaves have been washed by the rain and turned a dazzling red. Yun Shan jumped out of the carriage under the incomprehensible eyes of the coachman, admired the autumn leaves, and walked towards the mountain.
Walking and walking, unconsciously the red maple forest has come to an end, and Yunshan stopped halfway up the mountain and looked back.
On the other side of the red leaves, the sunset has not yet fully entered the mountain, and the sky is like a yellow ribbon hanging, and the buildings in the entire Great Bright City, no matter how high or low, are all covered with a layer of gold.
The city is full of smoke, and I don't know how many families are enjoying the sunset after the rain, waiting for the upcoming dinner.
It wasn't until the sunset was completely submerged that Yunshan raised his feet and continued to walk towards the mountain.
There was an endless stream of carriages all the way up the mountain, which showed that today's dinner was extraordinary.
After many people in the carriage passed by, they all lifted the curtain and leaned out to look behind them, to see who this person in a dress and on foot up the mountain was, some knew him, and some did not know him, but without exception, they were all surprised after seeing him.
People who knew Yunshan were surprised that he also received an invitation, and he actually came, and people who didn't know Yunshan were surprised that they didn't recognize such a handsome boy at all.
Yun Shan naturally didn't know this, looking at the quietly rising moonlight and listening to the intermittent cries of insects and frogs, he was in a good mood.
A rapid sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and Yun Shan looked sideways, running so fast on the mountain, aren't you afraid of danger.
But he saw two tall black horses galloping towards a richly decorated carriage, and the wheels happened to drive past a small puddle beside Yun Shan, and the muddy water splashed everywhere, and it seemed that it was about to fly to him.
A head poked out of the carriage, as if waiting to see a good show. When he found that the guy had dodged with a single arrow, he muttered a few words in disappointment and shrank back.
Yun Shan raised his eyebrows, the carriage could completely avoid this puddle, it seems that it was deliberate.
When Yunshan reached the top of the mountain, the sky was completely dark, and thousands of lights were lit up behind him, and in front of him was the magnificent Lin family manor.
"Sir, please show me your invitation. Yun Shan was stopped by the guards at the door.
"I didn't bring it with me. Aunt Zhao prepared the invitation card for him and put it in the carriage, but Yunshan got off halfway and didn't bring it, he thought he was an invited guest, where is there any reason to show the invitation again.
"I'm sorry, we can't let you in without an invitation. The guard said politely.
"It's really interesting, this garden is not for all cats and dogs. A shrill voice came from behind him.
