Chapter 422, master-apprentice dispute
Iron Bull's injuries were not serious, except for some skin scratches, there were no internal injuries. Maybe this is also the reason why the old man asked him to practice hard year after year, since there is no talent in learning other kung fu, then learn the kung fu of being beaten.
With Tie Niu's current realm, I'm afraid it won't be a big deal to poke him with a knife.
The practice of the iron cloth shirt is to wrap the soft cloth around the chest and back several times, and then rub it vigorously with your hands, and then do elbow and arm flexion exercises. At night, the hard wooden planks are used as the bed, so that the bones are always in contact with hard objects and sharpened, and over time, the muscles and bones will gradually become solid and as hard as steel.
"He's not hurt, is he?" Ye Qiu asked.
Looking out the window, it was dark outside the courtyard wall. There was no shadow of Xiaobai anywhere for a long time, only the servants of the Shen family pointed and talked about the big hole, it was night, and there was no way to make up for it with bricks. I had to find an iron plate to block it, and then find someone to guard it at night, and I was not afraid that someone would come in and steal the east guard, and no one would be able to come in. There were a lot of people in ambush outside Ye Qiu, and if someone broke in, the people outside would definitely show Jing in advance.
Just saying this will only cause panic among Shen's father and Shen's mother and the servants, so let them figure out a way wherever they are.
After Shen Monong and Tang Guo stood at the door for a while, they also ran back to the room. They came out barefoot and in pajamas, and although the male servants did not dare to peek, they always had the dignity of disgraceful ladies when they came out dressed like this.
Only Shen Erli was still standing at the door chatting with Ye Xian, a little far away. Ye Qiu couldn't hear what the two were saying.
"Nope. I didn't hurt him at all. Hehe, he's so much stronger than when he left four years ago. I thought I could beat him this time, but I didn't expect it to be his opponent. Tie Niu said with a look of annoyance.
"You don't have to be angry. I know your skills, and if you work hard, you don't necessarily have no chance. Ye Qiu patted Tie Niu's shoulder and said comfortingly.
"We can't beat Brother Loach." Iron Bull nodded. "Brother Loach. Are you alright? I'll go back to sleep. After a fight, I was very comfortable. I just want to sleep. ”
"Go ahead. Remember to take a shower before going to sleep. Ye Qiu reminded.
Wait until after the Iron Bull leaves. Ye Qiu stood at the window and thought about it.
Think about Erya. I also want to be white.
Erya asked Tie Niu to bring the scarf to the ground, which turned out to be knitted last year. Presumably. She couldn't come to Yanjing to see her. You must be very disappointed, right?
Erya. You wait. Whether you can come out or not. I'll be sure to go back to see you soon.
There is also Xiaobai, thinking of him makes Ye Qiu feel distressed.
Xiaobai is also an orphan, and it was a snowy night when the old man picked her up from outside.
At that time, she was in tattered clothes and her body was thin and sallow. He was barefoot, his hands were covered with chilblains, and his eyes were closed. Without breathing, the whole person almost became a stiff popsicle.
At that time, Ye Qiu was only seven years old. Seeing a child being frozen like this, it is naturally very distressing. Let the old man hurry up and save him.
The old man did try. Cut all the swishy clothes on his body with a knife, and then carried his ** body into the snow.
At a few years old, the child's body is not yet developed. At that time, Ye Qiu didn't find out that Xiaobai was a girl at all.
The old man kept rubbing the snow on Xiaobai's body, and Ye Qiu was also helping by the side. When the old man rubbed his head, he hugged Xiaobai's chest and thighs. After working for more than half an hour, Xiaobaidi's body slowly softened, and his whole body was purple and purple.
The old man took out the silver needle again, and after stabbing it on several acupuncture points on Xiaobai's back, dark blood came out.
"She has several organs in her body that have frozen to death and must be removed." The old man seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be discussing with Ye Qiu.
"Cut. Hurry up and cut it. Ye Qiu, who was concerned about Xiaobai's body, echoed and said.
He didn't know that his simple words had put Xiaobaidi's body in such a deformed state as it was now.
After the old man's traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture treatment, Xiaobai finally woke up.
It's just that by that time she had lost the ability to speak.
Xiaobaidi's name was taken by Ye Qiu, it was Chuntian at that time, and Xiaobai had safely recovered after a winter of recuperation and shook his head.
Looking at her little face bathed in the sun that was almost transparent, Ye Qiu said: "Your skin is so white, it's called Xiaobai."
Xiaobai nodded, and this became the code name of her life. Although she was later called the Blood Shura, she still liked the name Xiaobai.
She liked it very much, but she didn't allow anyone to shout. It's a taboo for her.
At the beginning, Ye Qiu didn't find any other problems with Xiaobai except that he couldn't speak. It's just that as he gets older, he begins to grow a fluffy beard, begins to have an Adam's apple, his body begins to grow taller and stronger, and Xiao ** also begins to grow up, and everyone finds out that Xiaobai is different.
They already knew that Xiaobai was a girl, but as she grew older, she didn't show the slightest bit of the characteristics of a child. And Erya, who was about the same size as Xiaobai, had begun to bulge in her chest and became even more cold. was cold and cold, except for Ye Qiu, he no longer spoke to anyone.
The old man seems to have done the same, training one set of difficult but more powerful killing moves according to her unique physique. Although Xiaobai has completed the old man's training every time, in the process, his fear and hatred for the old man have also increased.
Until the contradiction between the two reached a critical point, Ye Qiu gave Xiaobai to the Dragon Maiden. So, Xiaobai followed the dragon girl for three years. After coming out, he immediately came to his side.
In Xiaobai's heart, except for Ye Qiu, no one else can slaughter animals at will
This is also why Tie Niu can't bear to give a heavy hand to Xiaobai. But Xiaobai can use the reason for killing without scruples.
Yes, the old man's goal is to achieve Ye Qiu's peerless sword of overcoming thorns and thorns, slaughtering gods and destroying Buddhas, and killing all those who stand in the way.
This sword has no emotion, it just needs to kill.
Xiaobai succeeded, but Xiaobai was also ruined by him.
Old man, he should have a way to get dressed and walked out of the room. And Ye Xian also happened to finish chatting with Shen Erli, and when he saw Ye Qiu coming over, he didn't greet him. Just the first to walk into the room. But he didn't close the door casually.
He knew that Ye Qiu would come looking for him.
The old man sat at the coffee table in the room boiling water to make tea, the tea leaves he had brought himself, and the black and brown cups had also been brought by himself. This is also the reason why the Iron Bull is carrying two in the package. He has a slight habit of cleanliness and does not like to use other people's things. Especially when it comes to eating, he even brings his own dishes and chopsticks if possible.
However, he was not an impersonal person, and knew that it would be extremely disrespectful to his master. So I didn't do such a ridiculous thing.
"Sit. It's been a long time since you've drunk the tea I made, right? The old man gestured to the chair opposite. Said with a smile.
Ye Qiu sat down silently, thinking about how to start this.
"She's done it again." The old man asked without raising his head as he took a few tea leaves from a delicate wooden box and put them into the teapot.
"Perhaps." Ye Qiu nodded and said.
The old man took the tea box well. Then he washed the tea in boiling water and said, "What is the purpose of coming to me?" ”
"Can you save her?" Ye Qiu looked at the old man with burning eyes. Said expectantly.
"Save her? I've already saved her once. The old man said.
"Save her one more time." Ye Qiu said eagerly. "She's a human being, and she's supposed to live a normal life. And it shouldn't be like this. ”
When I saw the old man, I didn't mean to let go. Ye Qiu swallowed his saliva and said in a dry voice, "Please." ”
Ye Qiu is begging for the first time. I don't know how these three words came out. But he knew that he had to do something for Xiaobai. Even if it is to repay her for the land she has paid for herself over the years, she has to do everything she can.
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Ye Xian was also rarely surprised. Although he still hadn't raised his eyes to look at Ye Qiu once, the water that was pouring tea paused for a moment.
He knew Ye Qiu's xingzi, this was a lord who refused to kneel even if his bones were broken. If you want to use brute force to force him to admit defeat, I'm afraid it's useless to give him Ling Chi. It's very similar to myself.
But for Xiaobai's sake, he took the initiative to say such things to himself. This is the first time in many years.
poured a cup of tea for Ye Qiu, and also filled his own cup, then looked at Ye Qiu and asked, "Do you think I don't want to save it?" ”
"It's not. I'm hoping - if you can save her, do it again. Ye Qiu said pleadingly.
The meaning is still the same. Do you still believe that I was unwilling to save her? ”
"I didn't doubt it." Ye Qiu said.
But I was thinking in my heart, did I really not have doubts?
In my impression, when did the old man have something that he couldn't solve?
The old man took a sip of tea from his cup, then narrowed his eyes slightly and quietly savored its taste. Soon, he opened his eyes and shook his head, and said, "This tea still tastes authentic boiled in mountain spring water." When you come to Suzhou and Hangzhou, the taste changes. ”
Without waiting for Ye Qiu to speak again, the old man's soft eyes just now suddenly flashed with crystal, and he said coldly: "Except for you, when have you ever seen me alone twice?" At that time, didn't you also get your approval of cutting off some of the dead tissues on her body? One person, I will only save once. ”
"When I brought her back, I knew she was a good seedling. She is a sword, an indestructible sword. Women, you don't lack it, what you lack is such a peerless sword. Isn't that bad? ”
Everything is predestined.
It's her life, and it's yours.
