Chapter 50: Someone Is Really Too Strict
Chapter 50: Someone Is Really Too Strict
Elder Qingwu suddenly came to visit this morning, and before leaving, he used a voice that only two people could hear to warn Leng Mo to do his own thing, which was undoubtedly the disadvantage of the Tanwu Hall and the Tanyuan Hall before the official start of the war. Today they killed the majesty of the Tanwu Temple, and I believe that it will not be long before they will get it back. Even if Elder Qingwu disdains to ask for it in person, the Sheng Ming who will be rewarded will definitely do whatever it takes to regain the lost pride.
In fact, Leng Mo knew very well that Elder Qingwu and Elder Qingyuan just looked harmonious on the surface, and they looked like they were in deep brotherhood, but they were just calm before the storm.
Although Leng Mo does not disdain to participate in the open and secret struggle for power, he has already been deeply involved in it. As an apprentice of Elder Qing Yuan, it is impossible for him to retreat with his whole body. And Xi Shuang also had to be involved in this storm.
Leng Mo is not worried about herself, but about Xi Shuang, after all, she is powerless, and she can't protect herself at all except for practicing medicine. For a moment, Leng Mo even questioned why he cared so much about Xi Shuang, but reason told him that it was just because Xi Shuang was a junior sister. They are all willing to contribute to the protection of Elder Qingyuan and the defense of Tanyuan Hall in the future, whether they want to or not, and the times are compelling.
Today's incident in the main hall has made Leng Mo no longer worry about Xi Shuang's wisdom, but just saying that he doesn't practice fake tricks, in case he is not there next time, Sheng Ming will think about it again, what can Xi Shuang do?
But Xi Shuang didn't seem to care at all, he won the battle in the morning and was in a good mood, and he was leaning under the peach blossom tree and reading the medical book at this time. The sky is clear and the spring is full of joy, and it is indeed a pleasant weather.
The sunlight shone through the peach blossom tree, wanting to be sifted, and sprinkled the purest light on Xi Shuang's jet-black hair. The breeze blew, and the peach blossoms on the trees danced in the air and landed on Xi Shuang's hair, shoulders, and her medical book. Xi Shuang smiled and sandwiched the peach blossoms in the title page of the book, and that smile was like the warm sun of early spring, which made people feel like a dream.
Leng Mo sat on the stone bench next to him, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes never took his eyes off Xi Shuang's body for a moment. That's how the so-called years are quiet! But how could their lives be so peaceful?
"Senior sister!" Leng Mo is now trying his best to avoid shouting "Shuangshuang", and he always feels that it is too intimate and inappropriate, but call him his full name, and he doesn't know what surname to give Xi Shuangguan, Xi Shuang or Leng Shuang? In order to avoid entanglement, it is the best way to call the junior sister.
"What's the matter, senior brother?" Xi Shuang won the battle in the morning, and he was in a good mood, and he jumped up and down next to Leng Mo, and with every step of the jump, peach blossoms fell behind him. Leng Mo closed the book and stood up, stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the remaining peach blossoms on Xi Shuang's hair, and his every move was very serious. Xi Shuang looked up at Leng Mo, at this moment, he was like an immortal, he was so indisputable. In the past, Xi Shuang always thought that Xi Jue and Long Xuanjing's appearance was shocking enough, but he didn't expect Leng Mo to be even better!
Leng Mo looked at Xi Shuang's glowing eyes, withdrew his hand, turned around and took his hand, and after calming down the turmoil in his heart, he said solemnly: "Intensify the study and practice of the Heart Sutra." He threw the Heart Sutra into Xi Shuang's arms with his backhand.
"Ah~Senior Brother~ Can you see it later! My medical book ......"
"I don't think you want this medical book, do you?!" Before Xi Shuang finished spoiling, Leng Mo snatched the medical book in her hand, Xi Shuang could only pout and read the Heart Sutra bitterly.
Xi Shuang sat on the stone bench, and there was a cold statue sitting opposite, how dare she commit something under her cold and silent eyes! But the fact that the body can't be foul doesn't mean that the spirit can't be derailed. Although Xi Shuang was holding the Heart Sutra, he kept thinking about what was written in the medical book, how to treat eye diseases?
With a "snap", Xi Shuang's wandering souls were startled. Leng Mo slapped the book in his hand on the table, and looked at Xi Shuang with a look of hatred, and Xi Shuang only felt a chill on his back.
"Give you time to stick incense and memorize this Heart Sutra upside down, otherwise, you are not allowed to eat." Leng Mo put Xi Shuang's medical book in his sleeve, got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Xi Shuang silently "bah", quickly collected his heart, and read the book with all his attention, after all, people are iron rice and steel, and it is not good to eat Xi Shuang, but it is too much if you don't have to eat! She agreed, and her stomach didn't necessarily agree. In order to be able to eat, Xi Shuang couldn't wait to put the book directly into his head.
If you are an ordinary person, let alone a stick of incense, even if you give them two hours, you may not be able to recite the Heart Sutra upside down. No matter which clan's Heart Sutra it is, all of them are obscure, and it is already very powerful to be able to understand them all in a stick of incense, but Leng Mo asked Xi Shuang to memorize it backwards.
In fact, Leng Mo didn't expect Xi Shuang to really be able to memorize it in a stick of incense, but just hoped that she could take it seriously. However, that day, he suddenly saw the frost flowers flashing between Xi Shuang's foreheads, and he concluded coldly that Xi Shuang was not an idle person, and this time he just wanted to try it to see if she had anything else to offer.
The time of a stick of incense passed quickly.
Leng Mo took off his apron and was about to go to see Xi Shuang's results, but he didn't expect Xi Shuang to come to the door first.
"Senior brother! Silence! I'm done reciting!! Xi Shuang excitedly waved the book and ran into the kitchen, unsteady and almost tripped over the threshold, but fortunately Leng Mo helped her in time.
"Senior brother, I'm done reciting!" Xi Shuang's face was proud of "come and praise me".
"Really?" Leng Mo was a little incredulous, I didn't expect this girl's comprehension ability and memory to be so good, it seems that her identity is really not to be underestimated!
Xi Shuangjian was silent and didn't believe it, and memorized the content of the Heart Sutra word for word, and also expressed his lame opinions from time to time.
Leng Mo is becoming more and more interested in Xi Shuang's life experience, who is she? If Xi Shuang is really from the Feng Kingdom, since she is not from the Feng Kingdom royal family, how can she have such a good memory and comprehension? If it is said that it is a gift, then why does a frost flower appear on her forehead, and why do the ancient divine beasts surrender to her and sign a blood contract? As far as Leng Mo knew, only the descendants of the four great ancient god clans could possibly have such an ability.
The Stygian had been wiped out in the Great War, and she wasn't from the Spirit Clan, so who was she? Xi Sun or Wind Clan?
"Senior brother, do I have something to eat?" Leng Mo just thought about it, and he forgot when Xi Shuang finished reciting it, looked at the eagerness on Xi Shuang's face, and nodded. In fact, Leng Mo really wanted to praise her, but there was a long way to go, so he pretended to be serious and indifferent.
"Yes, let's start practicing now." The cold silence is firm, leaving no room for rebuttal.
Xi Shuang was like a deflated ball, hanging his head and following Leng Mo to practice.
Leng Mo had just destroyed her brain, and now she was going to destroy her body again, Xi Shuang's small mouth was pouting, and she couldn't get angry.
Xi Shuang naively thought that when she first arrived, Leng Mo would not be too strict with herself, but she really thought too much, and Leng Mo would not be merciful.
"This action is not standard, do it again!" Leng Mo knocked Xi Shuang's arm with a branch, Xi Shuang was in pain, withdrew his hand, and held his stomach for a breath that was about to explode.
"You think it's dancing, and you have to move standardly. It would be nice to be able to make a contribution, and I don't want to show it to others. Xi Shuang simply stopped practicing, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and sat on the stone bench next to him.
"Get up!" Leng Mo knocked Xi Shuang with a branch again, this girl really gave him a headache.
Xi Shuang turned his head and moved to the side, looking like he didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Xi Shuang !!" Leng Mo is really angry, hating iron is not steel! You never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident, and if you don't make yourself strong, you will always be at the mercy of time and even by others. He can protect her for a while, can he still protect her for a lifetime?!
"Did you know that every mistake can be fatal!"
Xi Shuang looked at Leng Mo in a daze, she had never seen Leng Mo make such a big fire, when she saw it today, it was really terrifying, so she quickly got up and continued to practice.
Leng Mo looked at Xi Shuang's frightened face, and he was also very surprised, he was actually angry?! He never got angry at anyone, except himself. I always thought that he was suppressing his emotions, and even when he was bullied by Sheng Ming, he never got so angry, but just treated him coldly. In other people's affairs, he can be as calm as ice, but in Xishuang's affairs, why is he always messing with himself?!
However, Leng Mo felt that he had a sense of déjà vu of an old father, although he never knew what his father was like.
And Xi Shuang felt that Leng Mo was the real master, too strict. If he really accepts apprentices in the future, it is estimated that no one wants to be his apprentice, and he doesn't want to stick to it.
Night finally fell, and Xi Shuang and Leng Mo, who had been busy all day, were about to wash and sleep.
In addition to the usual heavy lifting, the morning sparring was exhausting enough. Especially Xi Shuang, who was so tired that she could even fall asleep while standing, she cursed Leng Mo silently in her heart, if it weren't for Leng Mo at noon, she would have been so strict with her, otherwise she would have been so tired! It really is!
Xi Shuang was slightly silent, rubbed his waist and was about to walk to the bedroom, but the eyes of the person behind him followed her closely, hesitated for a long time, and clenched the medicine box in his hand before finally shouting, "Senior sister." ”
Xi Shuang is still haunted by the noon incident, how can there be such a strict senior brother?!
"Shuangshuang!" Seeing that Xi Shuang didn't respond, Leng Mo shouted again.
"What?!" Xi Shuang's temper will be particularly bad when she is tired and sleepy, she was already angry with Leng Mo, but now she is extremely sleepy, she has no good face for him, and she is very impatient to speak, she just wants to rest now.
Leng Mo withdrew the smile on his face, and replaced it with a cold face, in fact, there was a feeling of blockage in his heart. He knew that she was very unhappy that she had been forcing Xi Shuang to learn the Heart Sutra she didn't like, and now that he was forcing her so strictly, it really made Xi Shuang breathless. I don't know what to say now.
"I'll go first if it's okay." Xi Shuang turned around to leave as he spoke, but Leng Mo hurriedly rushed up and grabbed Xi Shuang's wrist.
Xi Shuang was stunned, and his heart seemed to be suddenly hit by something, and he jumped in a hurry. She looked at Leng Mo, but Leng Mo just looked at her with the same frowning brows, and didn't speak for a long time.
The lights are dim, the moonlight is sprinkled on the shoulders, relatively silent, and the peach blossoms bloom on the branches. The inky figure and the white figure were particularly harmonious in the night.
"Something?" Xi Shuang glanced at the wrist that was grabbed by Leng Mo, and took the lead in speaking, breaking the silence. Leng Mo glanced down at his hand, quickly took it back, and handed the medicine box in his other hand to hers.
"Taking it will help you cultivate."
"Oh." Xi Shuang just responded hastily, and walked to the bedroom, his face was as cold as frost, and his tone was not shocked, as if he was more indifferent in a competition with Leng Mo.
