Wu Shu glanced at Mo Ye, who was sitting next to him, and quickly turned his gaze to the sea in the distance. After a moment of silence, he moved his lips tightly and said in a very light voice: "The rich do not know the lack of clothes and cold, and the full still hope that the hungry are hungry."

He didn't talk much about his business, and his voice was almost shattered by the wind sweeping across the rock face and the sound of the waves crashing against the rock wall, but Mo Ye was too close to him to hear it clearly. After being speechless for a moment, she slowly raised her head a little more and said calmly, "I'm not kidding. ”

Mo Ye expressed her serious attitude with negative words, and at this time, her words were indeed stricter than directly saying "I am serious".

"Look over there." Wu Shu didn't answer what Mo Ye said just now, but just stretched out his finger straight towards the sea in front of him.

In addition to the endless and calm surface of the deep blue sea with a steady stream of thrust underneath, there is the golden morning light that gradually dazzles on the surface of the sea and ripples with the tide.

Although Kyoto has one of the most developed maritime operations in the country, there is not a single ship on the sea at this time, and small boats that are easily overlooked by a long line of sight will not be able to operate in such an unpredictable sea. But Wu Shu stretched out his hand and pointed to such an empty sea area, and the look in his eyes was obviously to tell Mo Ye that he wanted her to see something.

After Mo Ye stared for a moment, he finally found a few white shadows that rose and fell with the waves in the vast sea. The figure that had been moving seemed very small against the dark expanse of the sea, and after a large wave hit, the group of flickering white shadows instantly expanded and rose high, and Mo Ye could determine what they were when he watched them spread their white wings to the maximum at almost the same time.

"Seagull ......" Mo Ye searched the memory in his mind and slowly said two words. She had never been in a seaside setting, for this common seaside bird. She had only read about it in books, and thanks to the large collection of books in the Academy, there were several codex left by the master who had visited Kyoto.

"This is a seabird that can be seen from time to time by fleets going out to sea. When they knew that a merchant ship was carrying food, they often went to the ship to steal food, and when they were full, they stood high on the mast, and the crew could not beat it. However, even a little experienced crew will indulge in the seabird's stealing of food on board, because it is safer to have this bird with you when you sail on the sea. Wu Shu paused slightly when he said this unhurriedly. Then he added, which seemed to have a heavy meaning: "Another point is that this seabird is the embodiment of freedom in the hearts of the crew who have been on the sea for a long time. ”

"Free ......," Mo Ye muttered. These are the two words she has said many times in her heart, and she has also expressed to Wu Shu. Now Wu Shu superimposed it on a seabird, which made Mo Ye faintly feel that he had ulterior motives.

"Any bird seems to be the embodiment of freedom, flying as high as the sky gets, while seabirds seem to be freer. The sky over the sea is devoid of trees and hills. They can glide close to the surface of the sea, they can go straight to the zenith, and they can cut diagonally through the sky. Here, the abilities of one of their wings can be used to the fullest. When Wu Shu said this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "There is a vast ocean on the sea. The crew can only stay in the limited space of the ship, but in such an environment, it is easier to experience the artistic conception of freedom. Watch as the seabirds flutter across the sea. His own heart seemed to be lightened. ”

Hearing Wu Shu say this, Mo Ye was also infected by the artistic conception in his words, and exhaled leisurely.

The seagulls that had been stirred up from the water by a huge wave had now flown to the beach together. They walk lightly on the wet sand, while their beaks droop from their thin beaks. His round eyes stared at the shallow waves of the sand, looking for small fish and shrimp washed ashore in the gray and silver sand in the sun. The way it was in a procession. It's really leisurely to watch.

"However, there is a price to be paid for any claim, and the price of freedom is the most complex, and there are some limitations that any life needs to abide by." Just as he was looking at the flock of seagulls on the shore and feeling the free breath of this seabird more and more carefully, Wu Shu's voice suddenly came.

"There is no landing site at sea, so if this seabird wants to cross a sea area, it has to constantly flapping its wings; As seabirds, they do have a strong ability to float, but our crew has seen many of them being pulled to the bottom by the sudden arrival of whale sharks, and finally torn back to the surface with only a few feathers. ”

Mo Ye heard Wu Shu say this, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly.

"Birds living on land don't have to worry about this problem, but they also have their own predators." After saying this, Wu Shu sighed softly.

After terminating the narrative of the birds, the topic returned to Mo Ye, who calmly said: "Everyone has a different definition of the freedom they want, what exactly do you want?" Don't you think that a life of peace and tranquility is the best freedom? In such an environment, you don't have to struggle with anything, you have a lot of free time. Do you think that to be like the seabird, spending most of the day foraging and avoiding danger, and only a short time to spread its wings, is freedom? ”

Mo Ye was stunned, and then shook her head slightly, but she didn't say anything. Finally she slowly lowered her head, buried her face below her eyes in her knees, and stared at the rock face beneath her feet.

I don't know how long it took in this silence when she suddenly felt something flash in front of her, and as soon as her eyes moved, she saw that there was something more on the blank rock surface at her feet.

It was a very thin booklet, which Wu Shu suddenly took out of his arms and smashed at Mo Ye's feet.

The sea breeze that never stopped shook the booklet that had been rolled and some broken covers, there was no text on the cover, but after the cover was pushed open by the sea breeze, Mo Ye saw that in addition to the words, there were also humanoid drawings in the booklet. And whether it is a word or a painting, it is not made of plate printing, but made of handwriting, between the horizontal and vertical dots of pen and ink, the personal style of the writer is very obvious.

She quickly realized that it was probably something important, and fearing that it would be swept down the rock by the wind, she quickly reached out and held it down.

And before she could pick it up in her hand, she heard Wu Shu's somewhat worried voice coming: "I don't know if it will be a mistake for me to do this." ”

Mo Ye turned his head sideways, only to find that Wu Shu, who was sitting on the stone face beside him just now, had already stood up. He also happened to look at Mo Ye, and his gaze met Mo Ye's eyes, making her feel the obvious hesitation in his eyes.

"Why do you say that?" Mo Ye clenched the thin booklet and stood up.

"What I'm worried about is still what your local master vaguely left behind." Wu Shu took a deep breath of the seaside air and slowly continued, "Whether you are learning martial arts to protect yourself or to attack others, Lord Lin should be your best mentor. More than 10 years ago, when he was in the northern military tent, he had several experiences of escaping alone in dangerous situations, and his swordsmanship was light and precise, which was also more suitable for women to practice. He should also be the one who knows your abilities best, but he didn't teach you the slightest martial arts. I...... I don't want to disrupt his plans because of my own decisions. ”

"He's already ......" As soon as the third word of the sentence that naturally came out of Mo Ye's heart was spoken, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, and finally failed to say the second half of the sentence, and only turned to a brief expression: "What other plans can there be." ”

After flipping through a few pages of the booklet, and while memorizing it in her heart, she said casually: "And you have already shown me this booklet, and it is not interesting for you to say it again." ”

"You're right." Wu Shu said with a smile, "But what I just said is not a lie to you. ”

Mo Ye temporarily withdrew his gaze from the contents recorded in the thin booklet, and glanced up at Wu Shu, but did not speak.

"It's true that my master didn't teach me specific moves, and the internal breath and luck regulation method in this booklet is not what he summarized." Wu Shu raised his arms and folded them around his chest, cast his gaze far away, and continued leisurely: "Now you may not even understand the difference between the operation of internal strength and the change of moves and the method of combination, but for your pleading for many days in a row, I can only do this step so far. At most, you stole my exercises, and the result has nothing to do with me. ”

The expression on Mo Ye's face froze slightly, and soon she had an active breath again, her eyebrows and eyes gradually curved, and she said softly: "How can you say that you didn't teach anything?" You brought me to this sea, you told me about the seagulls, and you learned a skill, your master probably told you this, right? ”

"Maybe something that is self-taught can happen to you once, depending on the will of God!" When Wu Shu said this, he suddenly smiled to himself, as if he remembered something interesting, and said slowly: "I heard that your master once recruited a fool into the second group, and also ran to Master Li for him to steal a heart ** trick, so that after the fool practiced, his light skills actually quickly surpassed the only remaining swallow in the second group of double swallows at that time." Thinking about it now, it still makes people feel very surprised, talent is really several times more mysterious than a book. ”

"Fools?" Mo Ye's voice came after hesitation, "He should be named Lu Sheng, but he shouldn't like others to call him a fool." ”

"How do you know?" Wu Shu said casually without looking back, he may not even realize it, his casual question, the meaning was very vague, I don't know whether to ask Mo Ye how to know Lu Sheng, or surprised that Mo Ye even knew that Lu Sheng didn't like others to call him a fool.
