Chapter 65: On Yourself and on Others
After leaving Lulai County, the days were lackluster, and Shen Tianfan, who did not deliberately separate from Fang Xie and them, hired a carriage and followed Fang Xie unhurriedly. That night, she pretended to have forgotten, but she seemed to have forgotten.
There was almost no conversation between the big dog and Mu Xiaoxiao and Shen Tianfan, although there was no ** smell, but the atmosphere was still a little cold. However, Zhuo Buyi, a calm man who only seems to be intoxicated with the scenery, is not so calm every time he looks at Shen Tianfan. Mu Xiaoxiao is also a beauty, but the way he looks at Shen Tianfan is definitely different from the way he looks at Mu Xiaoyin.
It is appreciation for Mu Xiaowaist, and it is fiery for Shen tilting fan.
If Fang Xie didn't understand it wrong, that kind of look should be said to be fiery.
I have to say that Zhu Xiaohua is a cheap pig.
It always likes to use its fangs that look particularly hideous when Mu Xiaowaist is not paying attention, to gently touch the beautiful legs under Mu Xiaowaist's red dress. When Mu Xiaoyi couldn't help but kick on this fierce boar, instead of going crazy, it let out an intoxicated **.
So Zhuo Buyi blushed.
Shame shame.
This is what Zhuo Buyi wanted to say but was embarrassed to say.
"When did you turn Pig Flower into your mount?"
Fang Xie couldn't help but ask curiously.
"On the day I met you."
Zhuo Buyi's answer made Fang Xie couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"That day in the woods, next to the clear spring, I saw the little flower drinking water, and I couldn't help but want to take it as a mount. So I was going to talk to it, but unfortunately it objected. ”
"And how did you take it?"
Fang asked.
Zhuo Buyi glanced at Fang Xie in some surprise, and then said in a very plain and natural tone: "Naturally, it was a fight, but it couldn't beat me, so it had to let me ride...... When I brought you here, it went into the woods to bid farewell to its women and men. It is the king of the forest, and the animals in the forest listen. ”
"Uh...... Its women, you should say its sows. No wonder...... I didn't see a single bird in the forest that day, it turned out that Xiaohua was giving a temporary lecture. ”
Fang Xie couldn't help but correct.
Then he asked, "How did you win against Zhu Xiaohua?" For example, some flying sword, charm, etc., the process must be very exciting. ”
Zhuo Buyi looked at Fang Xie with idiot eyes and said: "To deal with a wild boar, apart from hitting it with its fists, it doesn't dare to resist, can there be a more direct way?" ”
When she finished saying this, Zhu Xiaohua snorted aggrievedly.
Zhuo Buyi didn't plan to continue to dwell on this topic, although the trip was boring, he still had no interest in such a slightly idiotic conversation.
"If you walk for three more days, you will be able to see Chang'an City, the imperial capital."
He looked straight ahead and sighed, then couldn't help but look at Mu Xiaowaist and asked, "Are you interested in learning something from me?" ”
Mu Xiaowaist was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
Fang Xie knew Mu Xiaoxiao's temperament, so he couldn't help but ask for her, "What if...... I mean, if you already have a master, is it a betrayal to vote for another master? Although she didn't recognize that master, after all, it was another person who brought up this matter first, so ...... After all, you still have to think about it. Other than that...... The first one who cried and shouted and even knelt down to beg Sister Xiaoxiao to be his apprentice, but he was a real master of the nine grades. ”
Hearing the four words of the Jiupin master, Zhuo Buyi let out a disdainful cold snort in his nose.
"Although there are not many nine-rank masters in this world, there are still a few in the imperial capital by counting them on their fingers. can choose this kind of thing, after all, it depends on whether you can maximize your strength. ”
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said seriously: "The two of us are the same type of people. ”
He explains: "When the power of perception is exerted to the extreme, it is easy to control the body and mind. For example, I was able to let you walk to me that day in the woods, for example, I could make you see the same hallucination. I can even have the three of you kill each other at that point if I want. This is the right way for you, as for what nine-grade master...... Do you want to be ** into a cold-blooded person who only knows how to kill? ”
He couldn't help but say proudly: "Practice...... In fact, it is also a kind of art, do you understand? ”
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, "The reason why I didn't ask you until now is because it was deliberate. If you want, after entering the imperial capital, you can follow me into the Ouchi guard. Give me three years and I can make you do what I did in the woods. ”
Fang Xie sighed and said, "This is the difference between genius and waste...... If I am willing to kneel down and beg you, will you take me as an apprentice? ”
Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "Absolutely not." ”
Fang Xie smiled wryly, looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, "He seems to be more sincere than the old lame man with red sleeves, and what he said is good, he is more suitable for you." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao pondered for a while, looked at Zhuo Buyi, and asked seriously: "If I encounter any problems in my cultivation, can you teach them without reservation?" ”
Zhuo Buyi nodded: "Yes"
"When you arrive in the imperial capital, can you guarantee the safety of me and my friends?"
Zhuo Buyi was silent for a while this time before nodding: "Yes"
"So, if you don't become your apprentice, are you willing to teach me?"
Mu Xiaoxiao's question became more and more excessive, so that Fang Xie couldn't listen to it. But just when Fang Xie was about to persuade Mu Xiaowaist, Zhuo Buyi nodded very firmly and said, "You can worship me as a righteous brother." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao didn't say a word, jumped down from the horse, knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of Zhuo Buyi: "Brother-in-law"
Zhuo Buyi was stunned, then jumped down from Zhu Xiaohua and helped Mu Xiaowaist and said, "It's enough to let someone like you be my sister-in-law." ”
He looked at Fang Xie and couldn't help but shake his head.
Fang Xie hurriedly said: "Although in the end, I took the biggest advantage, but don't worry, I won't get sucked." After entering the imperial capital, I will keep a low profile, and I will never cause you trouble. ”
Just as he was saying this, the big dog and Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the carriage that Shen Tianfan was riding at almost the same time. The red silk on Mu Xiao's waist was like a spirit snake, and the big dog put on that pair of steel thorn gloves. Even Zhuo Buyi couldn't help frowning, the tail finger of his left hand, the ring finger and thumb were bent, and the index finger and middle finger were like a sword.
It was also at this moment that Fang Xie understood that Zhuo Buyi's eyes were not hot when he looked at Shen Tianfan...... Rather, vigilance.
……
……
The Shen tilting fan did not move, and the murderous aura that diffused dissipated into invisibility after a short time. The big dog quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of Mu Xiao's waist hooked a sneer.
Zhuo Buyi glanced at the carriage meaningfully, and then rode on Zhu Xiaohua to continue on the road.
The closer you get to the imperial capital, the more intense the solemn atmosphere becomes. The official road has become smoother and wider, and even the trees on both sides are carefully designed and planted. Every hour or so, you can meet a group of officers and soldiers patrolling along the official road, with bright clothes and armor.
The scenery on both sides of the road is also no longer delicate, and it is more neat and unsuitable for people to see.
Whether it is the houses in the village on the side of the road, or the grain grown in the fields, it is surprisingly neat. Blue bricks and red tiles, almost every house is printed out of a mold. One can imagine how much effort the officials of Gyeonggi Province put into creating this kind of neatness.
As the imperial capital Chang'an got closer and closer, there were more and more pedestrians on the official road. But there was not the slightest chaos, and everyone was in great order. Even if he encounters some children of a family who are freshly dressed and angry on the road, they will never do anything to raise dust and mess up pedestrians.
propriety
This is the characteristic of Gyeonggi Province as seen by Fang Jie.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one dares to disobey the rules. Here, it is difficult to see the children of the flying and domineering families, and as for the plots that often appear in the novels to bully men and women, it is even more difficult to encounter in Gyeonggi Province. Therefore, Fang Xie wanted to see the scene of the gentleman bullying the people, and the scene of the little gentleman being stepped on by the big gentleman again did not appear for a long time.
When he could see Chang'an City from afar, Fang Xie suddenly made a very puzzling decision.
Don't go into town for the time being.
"I'm going to wait for someone."
Fang Xie explained: "It is estimated that it won't be long before Cui Luoshang and them arrive, so it's better to wait for them to enter the city together." We're only three to five days ahead of them at most, so we can't wait. ”
Big dogs don't matter, and small waists don't matter.
But Zhuo Buyi has a so-called.
He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Can you come into the city with me first?" ”
"Why?"
Mu Xiaoxiao asked rhetorically.
Zhuo Buyi didn't answer, just looked at Fang Xie for help. Fang Xie immediately understood what Zhuo Buyi meant, he smiled and walked to Mu Xiaoyi's side and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, if you have arrived in the imperial capital, you won't encounter any danger, even if those people are arrogant, they won't dare to spread wild outside Chang'an City." Since Mr. Zhuo has asked you to go into the city with him, you should go first...... Besides, the Shen Tilt Fan is also there, and nothing will happen to me. ”
"Reason."
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Fang Xie and said.
"Mr. Zhuo, I'm just afraid that if your other cheap master arrives, it will be a little difficult for him to take you away. Although he said that he looked down on a nine-grade master, he was actually afraid that he had been beating the drum in his heart. ”
After saying this, he lowered his voice and asked Mu Xiaowaist: "What strength does this surnamed Zhuo have?" If you are not as good as the old lame, you reject him. ”
Mu Xiaoyin shook his head and smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Since entering the Great Sui, my ability has become more and more useless. ”
It's no wonder that Mu Xiaoxiao is so lost, since she planned to leave Fan Gu, she has met several people who she can't perceive at all. For example, the proprietress of the dog meat shop, such as the old lame man with red sleeves, such as Zhuo Buyi, and even ...... Even the fat Taoist Xiang Qingniu, who was not reliable at all, couldn't feel it.
It's a brutal blow to self-confidence.
"That's a very awesome person."
Fang Xie said seriously: "He has no reason to lie to you, if he has bad intentions towards you, he will already succeed in the woods that day." This person's status in the government must be very high, so you must have a lot of benefits to go with him. If I can't get into the Martial Arts Academy, but you can get an identity in the Qing Ya, it will be a great thing for us. ”
"Since it's good for you, I'll go."
Mu Xiaoxiao didn't say a word, turned around and walked in the direction of Chang'an City.
She didn't even call Zhuo Buyi.
Zhuo Buyi looked at this woman with personality, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and the other party explained: "I really don't know if I recognized a righteous sister or a godmother." ”
Fang Xie smiled: "With such a high status, I am really embarrassed to let you call me Uncle Gan." ”
"Roll"
Zhuo Buyi scolded and turned around to keep up with Mu Xiaoyi's pace.
Fang Xie looked at the backs of the two people, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his heart was full of loss, as if he was ...... It's like watching your loved ones go away. For so many years, he has become accustomed to Mu Xiaowaist by his side. Although he is not far away now, the deep sense of loss makes his nose sour.
He looked at the majestic Chang'an City in the distance, and couldn't help but whisper: "Chang'an...... It's too big. ”
People in a city may never see each other for the rest of their lives.
I don't know when, Shen Tian fanned off the bus stop beside him, looked in the direction of Chang'an City and asked, "How is it, do you have a feeling when you get here?" ”
Fang Xie looked at Shen Tianfan slightly, was silent for a while and said, "You are jealous, that day when Mr. Zhuo wanted to take Sister Xiaoxiao as an apprentice on the way, you had a murderous intent. ”
Shen Tianfan didn't deny it, and the corners of his mouth outlined a confident smile: "The murderous intent really moved a thought...... But soon it was gone. I don't think jealousy is a bad thing, on the contrary, it has been my motivation to grow stronger for so many years. I'm jealous of all the people who are stronger than me, so I'll surpass them soon. ”
She raised her chin slightly, and her bright eyes were full of pride.
"No one has taught me how to practice since I left the school, but it only took me ten years to be promoted to the eighth rank of cultivation. What if some people meet famous teachers? Xiao Zhenren said that Mo Ning, who has no cultivation foundation, will be a master of the Nine Grades after ten years, and the people Mu Xiaoxiao met also have the confidence to make her a Nine Grades. But so what...... Ten years later, I'm afraid that there is no one in the world who I dare not kill or can't kill. ”
She smiled and said, "Only by relying on yourself can you become the strongest person in the world." Rely on others...... After all, it fell behind. ”
Fang Jie's heart moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think of his purpose of staying and waiting for Cui Luoshang and the others.
Cui Luoshang is a son of a family, Xiang Qingniu is a master of Taoism, and the red-sleeved helmsman Xi Thrush has a brand in his hand that even the deputy envoy of the Qing Ya is afraid of...... Aren't these all things he wants to rely on?
On your own......
Fang Xie smiled and stretched his body vigorously.
He will not miss any way that can make him grow quickly, he has to work hard and externally...... Naturally, we should use as much as we can.
