Chapter Thirty-Eight: Heaven and Earth Are Low
There are many disciples in the Mingyue Palace, and the three meals a day are all centralized, Lou Jing took the two of them to the dining hall, went straight to a large square table, bowed to the person at the farthest end of the table, and said, "Uncle Mo, Master Ye and Uncle Su have arrived." ”
Mo Qiuyin nodded, and An Ruosu on the side got up at this time and said: "Ye Gongzi and Uncle Su are guests from afar, and the family teacher should have accompanied them, but the family teacher has become more and more light in recent years, and he can't get the oil and water in the rice, so he hasn't eaten with us for a long time, so Uncle Mo will accompany him, please forgive me." ”
The two of them hurriedly said: "Don't dare to work on the palace master of Changsun Palace!" ”
Mo Qiuyin said: "Please sit down!" ”
Everyone thanked them, and then sat down together, in addition to Mo Qiuyin, An Ruosu and Shi Miaohan, there were also Yang Ting and Lou Qin, after the meal was served, Mo Qiuyin took the lead in lifting the chopsticks, and everyone started the meal. The food here is quite delicious, but no one speaks during the banquet, only the sound of bowls, chopsticks and cups and plates touching, and the atmosphere is slightly awkward.
Ye Chuan said in his heart: "Although Mo Qiuyin is young, he has a high seniority, and he has always been strict with his disciples, not to mention that there is a big man on the table, and the disciples are inevitably restrained, I have to find a conversation for everyone to talk, otherwise this meal will be too cold." ”
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Mo Qiuyin say: "Ye Gongzi, I see that your muscles and limbs have changed a little compared to the last time we met, and your temples have also risen a lot, I am afraid that your internal strength has greatly improved." ”
Ye Chuan was slightly stunned, and replied: "Don't dare, Ye Mou is a late learner, but by coincidence, he opened up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, so that the growth of internal strength has become faster." ”
As soon as these words came out, the disciples of the Bright Moon Palace present stopped their chopsticks one after another, looked at Ye Chuan's side, and Mo Qiuyin said, "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
Ye Chuan briefly talked about the "Reverse Qi Lock Acupoint Hand" of the Blood Qilin in his body, and the sneak attack of Qianji Valley by Zhu Sheng, but he brought all the thrills and irrelevant plots in one word, for fear that something else would come out.
The disciples of Mingyue Palace have lived in the border pass for a long time, and they have lived in a simple place, where have they heard such a fascinating story, they were dumbfounded one by one, and after he finished speaking, Shi Miaohan couldn't help but say: "Ye Gongzi has such a tortuous and bumpy experience, it's just ...... It's like a story in a book......"
Ye Chuan said with a smile: "This is nothing, when it comes to the fact that I was pretended to be a betrayal of the teacher, it is called twists and turns!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but feel the spirit again, and they couldn't care about the anger on Mo Qiuyin's face, An Ruosu said: "We knew that Ye Gongzi was not a wandering prodigal son who betrayed his master, it turns out that there is really some hidden meaning in this, I don't know if Gongzi is inconvenient to say to us?" ”
Ye Chuan cleared his throat and said, "Speaking of this, the person who is pretending to be me, Uncle Mo has also seen him, I don't know if Uncle Mo guessed who it is?" ”
Mo Qiuyin snorted and said, "Who else could it be, isn't it the Blood Qilin disciple I met in Qiushui Villa?" ”
Ye Chuan nodded and said, "Not bad!" Xiao Huadan, who sang in the village that day, was named Liu Feiqing, and the person who answered them by the river was Liu Feiqing's junior brother, named Zuo Feiting, after the blood unicorn injured my junior sister, I took my junior sister to Kongming Valley to find Mr. Song to heal, this episode, Uncle Mo knows. ”
Mo Qiuyin snorted, and Ye Chuan continued: "Later, my junior sister recovered from her injury, and the two of us returned to the capital, but they were already ambushed in the capital, Liu Feiqing, Zuo Feiting, was targeted, at that time, ...... At that time, there were some changes in the court, and I had another very important friend, the family that was killed was ruined, and I was so angry that I was so overwhelmed by the anger that I could modify it, and I went to the mastermind behind the scenes, Yan Songfu, the secretary of the ministry, to assassinate me, and wanted to avenge my friend, but I didn't expect ......"
A crisp sound of "dangchang" interrupted Ye Chuan's story, and everyone followed the reputation, only to see a servant girl hurriedly squatting down to pick up the broken plate and running out of the hall quickly.
I don't know who whispered, "It's that Aqing again, it's hairy, and she can't do any work......"
Ye Chuan found that the dining hall was quiet at this time, not only his own table, but almost everyone present was holding their breath, obviously everyone was secretly listening to him just now.
Shi Miaohan said: "Ye Gongzi, please continue." ”
Ye Chuan came back to his senses and said, "I'...... Where did I just go? ”
"Childe just said that he assassinated the traitor Yan Song at night."
Ye Chuan cleared his throat and continued, "Oh, later...... Later, I fell for Yan Song's tricks, and was plotted by Liu Feiqing on the way to escape with injuries, if it was in the hands of their senior sisters and brothers, the next day Yan Song took people to the Taiqing Palace to ask for the guilt, Zuo Feiting pretended to be me, and took a benefit from my master and Yan Song, and announced his defection to Shimen, although my master and brothers saw the clues, but in that case, no one dared to pierce it, so he had to let him swagger away from the capital. ”
"Later, although I got out of the Qilin Sect, I never dared to go back out of consideration for the protection of the Taiqing Palace, and then I returned to the capital for the sake of Zhaoming Sword, and was immediately known by Yan Song, so I fled here."
Several people all sighed and sighed, and An Ruosu said: "Although Zuo Feiting kidnapped the son, he invisibly resolved the contradiction between Yan Song and your faction, why is this?" ”
Ye Chuan sighed and said: "That person is a freak, he naturally likes to find excitement, he does this, first, for fun, and secondly, to get the heart of Zichen Xuangong and the sword spectrum of Zichen Sword Technique, this person can skillfully use the complex relationship between the two sides and benefit from it, he is indeed not a simple person." ”
Mo Qiuyin said: "The apprentices are so powerful, what should the master do?" ”
Ye Chuan said: "You are located in the border pass, you must not know much about the affairs of the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang, the blood qilin has great ambitions, and wants to be the emperor himself, but he is afraid that an uprising will be launched soon, and now the villain in the court is in charge, I am only afraid of ...... Ay! ”
The disciples looked at each other, and finally looked at Mo Qiuyin, who was silent for a moment, and said: "The border pass has suffered from the war, and the Mingyue Palace is still too busy to take care of itself, how can it have the energy to participate in the affairs of the Central Plains?" After you finish eating, you will go to report to the third senior sister, and tomorrow's memorial ceremony will be prepared. ”
The disciples hurriedly got up and responded, "Yes, I will obey my uncle's orders." ”
Mo Qiuyin put down the dishes and chopsticks, nodded slightly to Ye Chuan and Su Ling, said goodbye, and then walked out of the hall.
After Mo Qiuyin left, the disciples in the dining hall breathed a sigh of relief, and the hall gradually remembered the whispers, An Ruosu smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Mo has always been like this, I hope the two of you will not be surprised." ”
Ye Chuan said: "How dare you." ”
After dinner, Ye and Su found a secluded place and practiced some of the "Yin and Yang Light Splitting Sword" sword moves they had studied in the afternoon. As the name suggests, the yin and yang splitting sword is divided into yin sword and yang sword, among them, the yin sword is light and elegant, the internal strength is long, the yang sword is calm and calm, the sword is strong, the two complement each other, complement each other and win-win, Ye Chuan's "Zichen Xuangong" and Su Ling's "Ice Heart Jade Jue" are quite in line with the requirements of one yin and one yang two kinds of internal strength, but Su Ling has just obtained the skill, and the retraction is not free enough, Ye Chuan is restless at this time, and the two of them practice, always stumbling, with little effect.
The two of them repeated the first type of "Qi Separation Yin and Yang" more than ten times in a row, and suddenly heard a sound of "Zheng", and the bamboo branch sword was taken out by the Linfeng Sword, Su Ling exclaimed, and there was a bloody mark on the snow-white wrist.
Ye Chuan hurriedly accepted the recruitment, and he was also surged by the internal breath of the shock, lost the Linfeng Sword, took two steps forward, grabbed Su Ling's forearm, and said hurriedly: "Senior sister!" Are you okay! ”
Su Ling shook his head and said, "I'm fine." ”
Ye Chuan clicked on her two acupoints to stop bleeding, his eyes were full of guilt, and said: "It's me who is not good, I was half a move slower, I'm very sorry......"
Su Ling said: "It's me who can't control the internal force, senior brother, don't blame yourself too much." ”
Ye Chuan sighed and said, "Let's rest today, I'll help you with the medicine." ”
Su Ling snorted, and the two returned to the residence together, Ye Chuan wiped off the blood stains on Su Ling's forearm with a hot towel, sprinkled a little golden medicine, and began to bandage her, Su Ling suddenly said: "Senior brother, I understand your thoughts, you might as well find a chance to meet Miss Xia tomorrow!" ”
Ye Chuan's hands trembled slightly, he looked up at Su Ling, his eyes were surprised and grateful, and he said astringently: "Senior sister......"
Su Ling said: "I know that you have something to say to her, and I am afraid that I will be sad and sad, so I am distressed, in fact...... Senior brother, you don't have to worry about me, my trust in you is the same as your trust in me. ”
Ye Chuan paused a little, lowered his head, and then bandaged it again, and said: "Senior sister, I am really happy that you can think like this, what I said to you before is my heartfelt words, I Ye Chuan just want to stay with you in this life, and I have no two hearts." It's just that...... It's just that I had a relationship with Miss Xia after all, and I didn't see her for the last time, and at this time, I suddenly learned that she might still be alive, and it was really difficult to calm down...... Ay! Can...... But if I was to talk to her, I wouldn't know what to say. ”
Su Ling was silent for a moment and said, "Senior brother, do you remember that on our way from the capital, someone quietly sent the Linfeng Sword over?" ”
Ye Chuan was slightly stunned and said, "Naturally remember, why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”
Su Ling said: "Will it ...... Could it be that he rescued Miss Xia? ”
Ye Chuan said: "Why do you think so? ”
Su Ling bit his lip and said, "Senior brother, I have a guess, if my guess is wrong, you should take it as a joke." ”
Ye Chuan nodded and said, "Senior sister, but it's okay to say it." ”
Su Ling said: "Maybe there is a person who has been eyeing us since we were born, he not only stole your biological sister and returned me to the Taiqing Palace, but also has been paying attention to our growth, rescued Miss Xia before she was killed, sent her to Mingyue Palace, and sent the Linfeng Sword for you, so that we can get here smoothly...... He did all this to control our lives......"
When Ye Chuan heard this, he stood up suddenly, took two steps back in a row, and said, "This is impossible!" It can't be ......"
Su Ling lowered his head, subconsciously stroked the wound that had just been entangled, and said, "Perhaps...... Maybe the two of us are together, and someone has carefully planned it at all. ”
Ye Chuan's chest rose and fell violently, and his heavy wheezing sound was left in the whole room, and after a while, Ye Chuan finally said: "Senior sister, don't think too much, it's not early today, go to bed early." ”
Su Ling said: "Senior brother, you should also rest early." ”
The night was long.
What Su Ling said is very reasonable, this is something that Ye Chuan can't veto, everything is so logical! If it weren't for Xia Qing's troubled mind, Ye Chuan might have thought of this possibility first.
There is an unfathomable person who is planning his life step by step, and what a terrible thing it is to think about!
Maybe he's watching himself somewhere right now.
What about Xia Qing? After all that kind of change, how has she changed now? Originally, Ye Chuan couldn't be sure that the person was Xia Qing, but after the events at dinner, it seemed that this conjecture had been confirmed, otherwise "Ah Qing" would not have broken the plate when he heard about the Xia family tragedy, not to mention, the phrase "always clumsy" is used to describe a down-and-out first few young ladies is very appropriate.
"Wow! Xiao Yezi, you dare to bully me! ”
"I've never seen a person like you who is not ashamed, and you don't blush when you brag!"
"Stinky leaves, what a mess of books you read!"
……
Xia Qing's voice and smile kept trying to get into his mind, Ye Chuan only felt upset, sat up suddenly, and let out a long breath.
The last time I saw her, it was at the turn of spring and summer, and now it's almost winter.
Ye Chuan put on his shoes and socks, jumped out of the window, and walked in the palace by the moonlight, letting the cold night wind blow his face painfully, in order to relieve the boredom in his heart.
It was a small lake, and there were a few trees scattered around the lake, and the leaves on the branches were almost gone.
The lake here is not the clearest, and the moon is not very round at this time, but in Ye Chuan's opinion, this is already a good place to calm down.
Ye Chuan took a deep breath, pinched the sword technique, and involuntarily practiced the "Zichen Sword Technique" one move and one style, now he has made great progress in internal strength, and this set of sword techniques and sword moves is the most familiar, even if there is no sword in his hand, the sleeve wind can easily roll up the fallen leaves wherever he goes, and when the dance rises, he casually changes the original sword moves a little, which is more smooth and natural, and can be sent and received freely.
This set of swordsmanship is like flowing water, until the "Liuhe Vertical and Horizontal", "Light and Dust" and then "Sword Flying Shocking", Ye Chuan pointed in the air, shot a sword qi into the center of the lake, the calm lake was divided into two halves in an instant, the water splashed more than a foot high, after a long time, the ripples on the water surface gradually dissipated, and the lake surface returned to calm.
Ye Chuan stood up straight, sighed, and said quietly: "Since you're here, why don't you come out to meet?" ”
A slender figure walked out from behind the tree and said, "You knew I was coming?" ”
"When you came, I just practiced 'Seven Stars Walking on the Moon', right?"
Xia Qing was silent for a moment and said, "How do you know I'm coming here?" ”
"I don't know, I also happened to come out for a walk, and I saw a small lake here, which is very similar to the small lake in the west of the capital, so I came over."
"Your martial arts are progressing so fast."
"Unfortunately, it's still not enough......"
After being speechless for a long time, Xia Qing lowered her head and asked, "You and Miss Su...... It's a good feeling......
Ye Chuan let out a "hmm" and said, "I have already proposed to my master and received his old man's consent. ”
Xia Qing hesitated: "You...... Aren't you expelled from the school? ……”
Ye Chuan nodded and said, "That's right, but in my heart, Master will always be the person I respect and trust the most, and if I want to marry Senior Sister Su Ling as my wife, I must have his old man nod." ”
Xia Qing suddenly laughed stupidly: "Who would have thought that the former Shoufu Qianjin and the Seven Sons of the Clouds would fall into such a field......"
Her expression was smiling, but her voice was tinged with tears.
Ye Chuan said: "Aqing, you ...... Do you hate me in your heart? ”
Xia Qing sneered: "Hate? Why should I hate you, I used to like you so much, this is my fate, if I want to hate, I can only hate Yan Song, that dog thief! ”
Ye Chuan said: "Sooner or later, one day, I will avenge your family." ”
Xia Qing said: "You have this intention, I ...... I was already very satisfied, and when I first arrived here, I was thinking about revenge, and then I realized that revenge is easier said than done......"
Ye Chuan sighed and said, "Ah Qing, there is something I want to ask you, when you were thrown into the prison, who brought you out, and how did you come here?" ”
Xia Qing shook her head and said: "I don't know anything, I just know that I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, I was sitting in the carriage, at that time my hands and feet were tied, my eyes were also blindfolded, I don't know which direction to go, there is a person with great powers in the car, no matter how I tried to escape, it didn't work, and then I came here, I ...... I don't want to abolish the martial arts you taught me, so I stayed and became a maid, doing some rough work every day, if I didn't think that I would see you one day, I was afraid that I would have died a long time ago! ”
Ye Chuan's body shook and said, "If you can see me one day, how do you know that you can see me one day?" ”
Xia Qing bit her lip and said, "The person who sent me here told me." ”
Ye Chuan only felt that his mind was overturned, could it be that all this was really planned by that person? What is this man's intentions? Why go to such lengths to do such nonsensical things?! After being stunned for a while, he asked again, "Have you seen her true face?" Is that man a man or a woman? How old is it? ”
Xia Qing said: "I haven't seen her face, and I know that she is a woman by listening to the voice, and she doesn't sound young." ”
Ye Chuan involuntarily clenched his fists......
After a while, Ye Chuan finally said: "Miss Xia, no matter what, my mind towards my junior sister will not change, I hope you ...... in the future."
"I know!" Xia Qing interrupted him coldly, "Then, Ye Gongzi, goodbye." ”
Ye Chuan also said: "Miss Xia, take care." ”
Xia Qing turned around, the tears in her eyes finally flowed, and she said softly as she took a step:
"In the past, there was a beautiful woman Gongsun, who danced with a sword and moved in all directions......
The spectators are depressed like mountains, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time......
Huo Ruyi shot nine sunsets, like a group of emperors and dragons......
Come like thunder to collect anger, like the river and the sea condensing the light......"
Her voice drifted farther and farther away, until she could no longer hear clearly, Ye Chuan gently closed her eyes, and silently said in her heart: "Aqing, I'm sorry." ”
