Chapter 22: Making Friends
It was already the afternoon of the second day when he came to the Yunjing auction house again, and Jian Moshuang took Ye Lingmeng to the old man's stall before, only to find that the old man had already fled. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
So, Jian Moshuang could only reluctantly admit it, and then wanted to leave this sad place.
But when he turned around, he found that Ye Lingmeng was blinking his beautiful eyes and looking at him blankly, and there was a hint of longing shining in his eyes.
Jian Moshuang shrugged his shoulders, nodded in a slight cold sweat, and said, "Then let's take a look!
Hearing this, Ye Lingmeng suddenly showed a sweet smile, his rosy lips outlined a perfect arc, and he blinked his narrow eyelashes happily at the end of the sword.
Walking straight past a jewelry stall, and seeing Reimu in a daze at a certain jewelry, Jian Moshuang sighed and said, "Do you want to buy it?"
Ye Lingmeng hurriedly turned around as if he was frightened: "No need, I'm just helping you pick out things, what's the use of jewelry." Ye Lingmeng's words of concern slowly sounded, causing Jian Moshuang to feel a wave of emotion in his heart.
Jian Moshuang shook his head helplessly, this girl still doesn't admit it? After all, it's a little girl.
"When did you have such a powerful sword intent on your body?" Ye Lingmeng suddenly turned his head, frowned slightly, and asked with confusion.
"Uh......" Jian Moshuang didn't know how to answer, his eyes flickered and changed, looking at the girl in front of him with bright eyes and bright teeth, and his eyes could be tempting at will, and he looked away with a weak heart.
"A good swordsman, of course, must have a good sword, you have been neglected by the Mo family for so long, you will definitely not get a good sword. Now that I'm at this auction house, I'm going to have to look for it. Ye Lingmeng didn't seem to feel the strangeness of the sword shuang, slowly retracted his gaze, gently played with his slender fingers, and said secretly.
Jian Moshuang's eyes lit up, and when he heard Ye Lingmeng's words, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, and he suddenly came to his senses.
"Although I don't want you to become a swordsman, isn't your previous path very good?, but since you have come to this path, keep going, and I will support you. Ye Lingmeng completely ignored Jian Moshuang, who was standing next to him and his face was quietly changing, his tone was full of trust and concern.
"That...... Why don't you want me to be a swordsman?" Jian Moshuang finally couldn't help it and spit out the doubts in his heart.
"Because the path of swordsmen is very difficult, most young swordsmen are looked down upon, and those who choose swordsmen will be considered unlearned. Because the skills on the sword are too extensive and the inheritance is too small, it takes a lot of time to explore, so kendo has become a side that most people are reluctant to try. Ye Lingmeng slowly opened her rosy lips and said with a soft sigh.
"On the contrary, more people are willing to try the sword, because the simplicity of the knife makes many people love it, and many young girls like such a domineering strong person. Ye Lingmeng said softly, looking up from time to time at Jian Moshuang, who was quietly listening to him and falling into deep thought.
"You mean to say that almost no one in this world chooses kendo?" Jian Moshuang suddenly felt extremely funny, he didn't expect that people on this continent would be so stupid, mysterious sword skills, extensive and boundless sword dao, isn't that the pursuit of supreme martial arts?
Is the simple, empty path to becoming stronger really so popular?
Who said that learning a sword is a waste of time? It's just that people on this continent don't know what a sword is, and they don't know how to properly choose the supreme sword in their hearts and the kind of pursuit they yearn for from the vast and boundless sword path.
Swords are completely different from swords, swords are easy to learn, but if you want to get started and study in depth, it is even more difficult.
In particular, many people's attainments in the way of the sword are only comprehended in their lives, but in the later process they are like a turtle speed, can only stop, which is the manifestation of their lack of comprehension of the sword, thinking that the sword intent is the end of the sword, in fact, it is not, the sword intent is just the beginning of the sword.
"Suffice it to say, most young people are reluctant to take this tiring and bitter path, because the incomprehension of kendo makes it difficult for most young people who use swords to fight against people of the same rank. ”
"And even if a person has a thorough understanding of kendo, there is really no one who is his opponent in terms of single attacks, but his opponent is not necessarily afraid, because understanding kendo requires complete dedication, which also makes him lack consideration in other aspects of himself, such as defense, which may make the swordsman the most vulnerable to death on the battlefield. Ye Lingmeng confided out all the words he wanted to say in his heart, as if he was advising Jian Moshuang to turn back quickly.
Jian Moshuang frowned, nodded secretly, and slightly agreed with what Ye Lingmeng said, the swordsman was indeed a little weaker in defense. No matter how sharp an ordinary swordsman's sword is, it has to attack many times to defeat and defeat opponents of the same level, and his opponent only needs to wait for the opportunity, a flawed opportunity, he can defeat a swordsman of the same level in one move, and there is no way that the swordsman's body is too weak.
Can you defeat the enemy with one move?Jian Moshuang licked his lips and smiled slightly, he is not an ordinary swordsman, even if he can't do it in the later stage, there shouldn't be any trouble in the current level.
Jian Moshuang patted Ye Lingmeng's head lightly, and said softly, "I know that you are for my good, but I still decided to take this path." Sword Moshuang smiled confidently, then turned and walked towards the weapon shop.
Ye Lingmeng looked at Jian Moshuang who was slowly leaving with a smile, and he was not angry because Jian Moshuang died unrepentantly, and his heart was even happier because of Jian Moshuang's persistence.
"This is the person I fancie!" Ye Lingmeng muttered, his pretty face flushed slightly as she spoke, and then he hurriedly followed Jian Moshuang.
"It's all iron swords or something, it's useless?" Ye Lingmeng frowned slightly, and doubts appeared on her delicate cheeks.
"That's what you don't understand, a strong swordsman is not the sword in his hand is strong, but his heart is strong, and a strong heart needs to be honed. Jian Moshuang shrugged his shoulders, stroked the rough iron sword in his hand, and said patiently.
"Everything has to be steady and steady to succeed, although it will be hard at first, but I think the current opponent, I can still deal with it with iron and wooden swords, you don't have to worry!" Jian Moshuang raised his head to look at Ye Lingmeng and gave her a smile that was okay.
"Then let's have a good sword to defend ourselves, let's go to the auction area to have a look, maybe there is a good sword." Ye Lingmeng seemed to be particularly concerned about the matter of Jian Moshuang, and proposed again.
"I don't have that much money. ”
"I'll just pay for it. Ye Lingmeng blinked her beautiful eyes with narrow eyelashes, and a cunning light shot out from the eyes that were bent into a beautiful crescent moon, making someone embarrassed to shirk it.
Jian Moshuang was speechless, so he had to pay Ye Lingmeng and walked into the auction area.
The auction area actually has five sections, each of which is divided into VIP and private seats, and the two seats are distinguished by status and financial resources.
At this time, the auction was in the No. 2 area, Ye Lingmeng walked to the VIP area with Jian Moshuang without surprise, took out the purple card with ease, and walked in lightly, looking at Jian Moshuang with a cold and elegant look.
As soon as he walked into the VIP area, there was no expected hustle and bustle at all, only a few faint conversations came, and Jian Moshuang secretly exhaled and pulled Ye Lingmeng to find an inconspicuous corner and sit down.
Jian Moshuang casually glanced at the people around him, most of them were not very strong, but there were a few vague auras that were indeed difficult for Jian Moshuang to detect, and then looked at the stage.
Standing on the stage was an old man, at this time he was introducing a medicinal herb, the introduction was very boring, Jian Moshuang was too lazy to listen, closed his eyes and began to recuperate.
After closing his eyes for a while, the fatigue of the past few days of hard work and fighting came inadvertently when the whole body relaxed, so Jian Mo Shuang fell asleep at once.
Looking at Jian Moshuang who was quietly sleeping next to him, Ye Lingmeng smiled sweetly, then turned his head again and cast his gaze on the auction item.
I don't know how long later, a coquettish voice sounded, and then a cool fragrant breeze blew into the tip of the nose, Jian Moshuang gradually opened his eyes, looked around in confusion, and exclaimed: "Oops, I actually fell asleep." ”
Ye Lingmeng rolled his eyes angrily and said, "You are so lucky, you really have an auction sword, but it is only a four-star weapon." ”
Wiping the haze at the corner of his eyes, Jian Mo's eyes lit up, but he found that the atmosphere at the scene was a little depressing, his brows slowly furrowed, and he asked suspiciously, "Why didn't anyone ask for a price?"
Ye Lingmeng shrugged his shoulders and said in a coquettish voice: "Although it is a four-star weapon, which makes everyone very excited, it is a sword, and the initial price is also 50,000 gold coins, such a high price, so that people who don't like kendo in general will not choose him." By the way, this sword is called the Black Dread, and its name is derived from the blinding chill that erupts from the darkness that can cut through the silence of the night in the dark. ”
Jian Moshuang nodded, and then turned his gaze to the VIP seat, to see what those people would decide.
At this time, the old man standing on the stage wiped his cold sweat anxiously, looked anxiously at the silent VIP seat, and was very worried in his heart, is it going to be a failed auction? Just as the auction hammer in his hand was about to fall, a strong voice sounded.
"I'll give you 60,000 gold coins!"
Sixty thousand gold coins! Jian Moshuang opened the cloth bag in his hand with an ugly face, there was a visible number of gold coins in it, Jian Moshuang shook his head secretly, or don't want it.
When the old man heard that someone was bidding, he was immediately overjoyed, and the auction hammer in his hand was raised above his head, and he said loudly: "Is there anyone else bidding?"
"100,000 gold coins!"
A coquettish cheer sounded suddenly, and Jian Moshuang turned to look at Ye Lingmeng who quoted such a price in shock, and his heart was turbulent.
Jian Moshuang's puzzled gaze only attracted Ye Lingmeng's faint smile, and a thin mosquito-like voice came out of her delicate lips: "Anyway, this money is of no use to me." ”
The price of this earth-shattering shock seemed to shock everyone, and suddenly they looked at Ye Lingmeng very curiously, and when they saw that the latter was such a beautiful girl, they all sighed, maybe it was from a big family.
The person who quoted the price of 60,000 yuan gritted his teeth suddenly, and his eyes looking at Ye Lingmeng were full of different light, and the green tendons burst out on his head, making his face hideous.
Jian Moshuang also felt the obvious gaze, sighed and said, "That person seems to be very angry. ”
Ye Lingmeng smiled softly: "If he comes to find a place at that time, won't there still be you?" Ye Lingmeng pursed his rosy lips and smiled.
Jian Moshuang shook his head helplessly, and followed Ye Lingmeng towards the collection place.
After Jian Moshuang got the Black Dread Sword, he unexpectedly ran into the person who had bid for 60,000 gold coins.
That person's eyes lit up when he saw Ye Lingmeng walking out slowly, and he hurriedly walked up to block the way of the two, cleared his throat, and said sincerely: "My name is Lu Xiao, I hope to make friends with you, that ...... I'm willing to trade you for that sword for sixty thousand gold and some other things, okay?"
"Then you'll have to take out something worth 40,000 gold coins in exchange. Jian Moshuang's indifferent words rang out, making Lu Xiao, who was looking at Ye Lingmeng, stunned, and looked at Ye Lingmeng inquiringly.
"This sword was bought for him, ask him. Ye Lingmeng smiled slightly, curled his lips and explained.
Jian Mo pressed his chin with his fingers, pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "Six thousand gold coins plus four hundred delicate iron swords, no bargaining is allowed. ”
Lu Xiao's pupils widened suddenly, he looked at Jian Moshuang in surprise, and said uncertainly: "This is a loss-making business for you." ”
Jian Moshuang looked at Lu Xiao lightly, he didn't expect this guy to be very good, and he could remind others not to suffer, it seems that he is a simple person.
"That's it, you give me 60,000 gold coins first, and I'll give you this Black Dreadful Sword, and when the exquisite iron sword is ready, you can just put it here in the auction house." Jian Mo shook his head slightly and chuckled.
Lu Xiao opened his mouth even more in surprise, scratched his hair, and said in surprise: "Aren't you afraid that I will take the sword and run away?"
"If I run, I run, then I will be considered blind. Jian Moshuang waved his hand casually and looked at Lu Xiao quietly, "If you want to call this friend, you won't choose to pay the bill." ”
Lu Xiao happily took the Black Dread Sword, thanked the sword end, and turned to leave.
"Why did you exchange that sword for a delicate iron sword?" Ye Lingmeng asked suspiciously.
"Because compared to the sword that is all disadvantages, the iron sword is more suitable for me now. Jian Moshuang smiled mysteriously at Ye Lingmeng and slowly walked out of the auction hall.
"Eh!" Ye Lingmengjiao shouted, stomped her feet vigorously, and said angrily, "What kind of mystery is pretending!"
