Chapter 7: The Silent Mountains
There was a giant eagle flying in the sky, and on the back of the giant eagle sat a feather clan guard with a bow and arrow, his face sinking like water. This is the legendary Feather Eagle Guard, who for thousands of years has been guarding the border between humans and spirits, and the back of the eagle flapping its wings is the vast silent mountains.
Wei Feng and the other women here were no stranger to the Eagle Guard's patrol at this time, and they even knew that the camp of these Eagle Guards was in those valleys not far from their residence.
At this time, Wei Feng was carrying a small bamboo basket on his back and following Master Zhu to learn to collect medicine, of course Jin'er was there, and she was also carrying a small medicine basket on her back, but compared with Wei Feng, who had a serious face, she was afraid that she had more thoughts about coming here to play.
"This is rhine, which has the effect of stopping bleeding." Master Zhu bent down and pulled out a medicinal herb, handed it to Wei Feng's eyes, and said. "If it's an emergency, you can chew it and apply it to the wound, but after it is air-dried, it is ground into a powder, and the effect is much better. Hemp generally grows in a damp place with a backlight, and the shady side of the tree can often be found, don't look at it common, but the medicinal value is very high, you two remember its shape, we only pick hemp today. Wei Feng took the herb from Master Zhu's hand and looked at it carefully, and Jin'er also came over, and looked for it after only two glances.
After a while......
"Wrong, wrong, Jin'er, that's not hemp, that's channeling seedlings, don't look at what they look like, channeling seedlings are useless." Zhu Shi said urgently.
"I've picked a lot, why don't you say it now!" As she spoke, Jin'er put the medicine basket in front of Zhu You with an unhappy face.
"I looked at Xiao Feng just now, but I didn't notice you." Zhu You picked up the herbs in the medicine basket as he spoke, not to mention that he really found a few rhesp plants.
"You're just eccentric, you only look at Xiao Feng and don't look at me." Saying that, Jin'er wiped away her tears.
"It's wrong, it's wrong, I wish the teacher is wrong, but I don't want to cry my nose, it's not good to cry my nose." Zhu You said, wiping her tears from Jin'er's eyes with pity.
saw Wei Feng silently walk to Jin'er's medicine basket, and then picked up his own medicine basket from behind, and evened out more than half of the picked hemp from it and handed it to Jin'er in front of her. Jin'er immediately burst into tears and laughed.
"Let's stop collecting medicine, let's go play." Jin'er still had tears on her face, but she stepped forward and took Wei Feng's hand and said.
"I think this is more useful, if I had known this, I might have been able to help others on the road." Wei Feng shook his head and said with a somewhat gloomy face, obviously thinking of the scene on the way to escape.
"Alright then, I'll be with you." As she spoke, Jin'er picked up her small medicine basket, "I'll go over there, you can collect more here." After that, Jin'er walked to the other side one by one, she looked at Wei Feng's expression just now, and suddenly felt that she was also very sad, but she didn't know why, it was an emotion that she couldn't understand yet. Zhu You looked at these and sighed silently.
After some hours, Wei Feng and Jin'er both collected baskets full of hemp, and Jin'er was very happy to run to show off to Wei Feng, and to invite merit.
"These must be hemp, I've looked at it carefully, it's absolutely fine, I wish you a look." Jin'er said, turning around diligently to let Zhu You check her medicine basket, and stuck out her tongue at Wei Feng again.
"Yes, yes, it's all hemp, you can grind a lot of medicinal powder, Jin'er is smart, you can get it a little." Zhu You's generation of great witches, but in front of Jin'er, he became an echo worm.
"It's not sinking, I'll help you get the medicine basket." Wei Feng also said to Jin'er with a smile.
"How are you going to take it? You have one of your own. Jin'er said.
"I can carry one on my back and one on my chest, I have a lot of strength." Wei Feng said.
"Bragging, you don't have as much strength as me. Let's ask Master Zhu to help hold it, he has a lot of strength. Jin'er glanced at Zhu You a little treacherously, Zhu You was a little helpless, and was ready to take the initiative to take over this task, no way, the next generation would have to take her own life, if Zhu You's other disciples didn't need Zhu You to speak, the senior brother and sister would be able to pick her skin.
"That's not good, Zhu Shi is the division commander, and we shouldn't let the division commander work for what we can." Wei Feng said. When Zhu You heard this, he was relieved, and he chuckled.
"Okay, then I'll carry it myself." Jin'er said quietly.
So the group of three slowly walked home. The autumn sunset sprinkled on them, stretching the figures to a long time, but it was a rare warm picture.
"What is Brother Zai doing sitting here every day?" Passing by the boulder where Zai Xin was meditating, Wei Feng asked Jin'er a little puzzled.
"I don't know, when my mother said that I couldn't walk, my eldest brother was like this, as if he was practicing some kind of exercises, and my father told him to do it." Jin'er replied.
"Oh, no wonder Brother Zai is so powerful, he can transform." Wei Feng said.
"That's not amazing, my mother said that our spirit clan can do it." Jin'er said.
"Can you too?" Wei Feng was a little surprised.
"Of course I can, but not yet, I have to wait for the blood in my body to wake up, and I guess it will take a few years." Jin'er said.
"What is bloodline, and what is the awakening?" Wei Feng then asked.
"Bloodline, I don't understand, it seems to be called a spirit, we all have it in the spirit race, as for awakening, in fact, I don't know much about it, it's just that when you grow up, you can suddenly transform one day, it's called awakening." Jin'er said.
"Ancestral Spirits." Zhu Yu Yu Yu added.
"Yes, yes, yes, is it called the spirit of the ancestors, or is it to wish the teacher wisdom." Jin'er said. Zhu You listened to her praise for her cleverness, quite self-satisfied, and gently stroked her beard to look like a master.
"Zhu Shi, Zhu Shi, hurry up and let us become a goat to see!" But then Jin'er's words made Zhu You's crows fly wildly in his head, and he was petrified on the spot, regretting that he shouldn't have set himself on fire in the first place.
"Jin'er, our spirit race spirit turn, if it is not necessary, it cannot be turned at will, otherwise it will cause the moon god to dislike, and the blessings that will fall to us will be less." Zhu You reluctantly explained to Jin'er.
"Hey, stingy, if it doesn't change, it won't change, why go to the Moon God Niangniang, my mother can change if she wants to, and I didn't see the Moon God Niangniang come down to blame her." Jin'er said disdainfully. Zhu You obviously didn't remember for a while that there was such a woman in the Yu clan, who had a pungent temperament and did whatever she wanted, and despite the opposition of the clan, she repented of marrying an outside human, this woman was Yuheng, and the little girl in front of her was her daughter.
"It's different, it's different. The Yu family is the representative of the moon god in the world, and Princess Heng is the most favored by the moon god, combining extraordinary wisdom and beauty, no matter what she does, the moon god is happy. Zhu You explained.
"How do you know that the Moon God Niang spoils my mother the most, don't you spoil me?" Jin'er said, her little face was a little ugly, and she actually ate her mother's vinegar.
"I know divination, I've got it. The moon god dotes on you, and your mother naturally dotes on you, and you are one. Zhu You explained again. Hearing Zhu You's words, Jin'er immediately became happy.
"Alright, let's hurry home and get something, I'm hungry." Jin'er said and took Wei Feng's hand and walked quickly, completely ignoring Zhu You behind him, Zhu You was a little helpless, but he had to go with them, but Wei Feng often looked back and glanced at Zhu You, as if he was afraid that he would get lost, Zhu You knew what was going on in his heart, and it was a little funny, but every time Wei Feng turned around, he smiled back at him. The children's steps are small, and I don't want to really leave them behind.
The three of them rushed back to their homes. Only Yuheng is there. Yu Heng walked over with a smile and took the two children's back baskets, and couldn't help but praise them.
"I wish the teacher a hard work, two children, must be worried a lot, right?" Yu Heng walked over and smiled at Zhu You.
"Children have simple thoughts, and I only feel relaxed and happy with them, not hard." Zhu Shi replied.
"Did Master Zhu see Zai Xin's child on the way back?" Yu Heng asked.
"See, we didn't bother him." Best wishes.
"It's time to call him back for dinner, this kid is going crazy, and now it seems that I shouldn't have taught Huai'an in the first place." Yu Heng said and sighed.
"Didn't you also have the idea of giving it a try at that time, the fields that the human spirit race is good at are different, the human race is good at controlling things, and the spirit race is good at controlling itself, and letting Zai Xin practice human kendo is a sword that goes off the rails, and it is not surprising that there is no result. It's a pity that the cultivation method of the Spirit Race has been lost for a long time, and the powerful people of our Spirit Race in history are not much worse than the current human grandmasters. "I wish you well.
"Huai'an said that if the Seven Kingdoms are unified, they will inevitably send troops to attack us, and then we will have no way to take their grandmasters, and we will make people feel uneasy." Yuheng's tone carried a hint of melancholy.
"Princess, I have always believed in your wisdom, and you have demonstrated by example and conveyed the will for peace. As for your worries about war, I think that if the human countries are unified, then their grandmasters must have been exhausted, and aside from this, they take the initiative to attack, and the 100,000 mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we will also take advantage of the territory. If all the spirits could be like you, and prepare for war while trying to avoid it, we might be able to enjoy peace for a long time. "I wish you well.
"You also know, Master Zhu, my mother and the patriarchs of those tribes have long been ready to move when they see the chaos in the human countries, and she can't listen to or see what I say and do." Yu Heng said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, which was like two people who were usually jumping out.
"But for Jiang Lang, it's not all out of a desire to convey, he's stupid and cute, I really love him. You haven't seen him look so lost when he first arrived here, his face hasn't been washed for I don't know how long, his beard is checked, and his body still smells rancid. But just such a man actually beat our entire team of Eagle Guards without fighting back, but he never refused to kill him, and the Eagle Guard was desperate when he greeted him. I happened to be patrolling the neighborhood at the time, and when I received a message, I rushed over to ask him why he came here, and he stayed for a long time and actually said that it was for the peace of the world, and he made me laugh at that time. Speaking of this, Yu Heng's face was full of warm smiles, obviously feeling sweet about the encounter with Jiang Bai at the beginning.
"Later, I took him around the neighborhood, he was very well-behaved and obedient along the way, I naturally became more unscrupulous, and slowly felt that it was very comfortable to live like this, and then I wished you to know, I went back and pushed down the marriage that my mother agreed for me, which was the first time in the Yu clan. If the spirit race and human beings in the world are like Jiang Lang, the world will definitely enjoy peace forever, but unfortunately there may be only one such person in the world, I want to be like him, although I can't do it, but to be his wife, I am extremely lucky to be satisfied. I hope that the war will never come, and that I will not be caught in a dilemma like Jiang Lang, I often think about my ancestor Princess Yuluo, she is the eternal twilight star of our Yu Clan, how painful her heart must have been when she and her human lover swung their swords at each other......" Speaking of this, Yu Heng choked up and couldn't say any more.
"You are not Princess Yuluo, you are the Qixing of the Yu Clan, the blessings left by the Moon God are not without reason for the inheritance of our royal family to be sealed by the Star Clan, the Qixing reincarnation is back to you, and the Moon God has its own deep meaning. Huai'an is not Qi Lingfeng, I believe that one day, his choice must be to protect you with a sword. Zhu You reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Yuheng's eyes and comforted her. But Zhu You's comfort obviously couldn't reassure Yuheng.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Jin'er on the side saw Yu Heng crying, and asked with a crying voice, and Wei Feng was also at a loss.
"Look at me, I even talked about it, but I forgot about you two little people." Yu Heng said as he reached out to wipe away his tears. "Hungry, my mother will find food for you both."
Yu Heng was about to make a move after speaking, but Yun Niang and her maids had already brought the food.
"Princess Daiyue? You're going to kill us like this. Just leave these things to Yaru and Yanru, you are far away as guests. Huai'an said to you, now that your relatives are in the Li Kingdom, we can send you over as soon as possible. Yu Heng said to Yun Niang.
"I'm no longer a princess of Daiyue, I decided, I'll stay here with my sisters, as for my relatives, I will only be more chaotic if I go, and I won't help anything." Yun Niang said.
"Oh, then it's up to you, it's like I'm driving people, but you can't stay in this valley for long, this is the front line, once something happens, we can't take care of it, Huai'an should have told you, he is going to visit a friend in the wolf department in two days, and you can go with him then." Yuheng Road. Yun Niang didn't say anything more.
"Feng'er, Jin'er, go and call your eldest brother to eat, and tell him that he doesn't practice that exercise, so I said it." Yu Heng commanded.
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Bai had already led Zai Xin in. What Yu Heng said naturally came to Zai Xin's ears word for word. Zaisin was depressed when he heard this.
"Eat first, talk later!" Yu Heng said in a deep voice. Naturally, she saw Zai Xin's expression.
Except for the two children who were concentrating on eating, everyone else had their own thoughts.
After the meal, Yuheng deliberately left a wish, Jiang Bai and Zai Xin came down.
"Xiao Xin, you also heard what I said just now. I won't practice anymore. Yuheng said.
"But, but...... I'm useless! Zai Xin wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said in despair.
"You don't have to blame yourself, the original human cultivation method is not suitable for the spirit race." As he spoke, Yu Heng told Zai Xin Zhu You's previous explanation again.
"Huai'an, what do you think? After all, you are his master. Yu Heng asked Jiang Baidao again.
"Xiao Xin, you have been with the master for so long, you should know that what the master really wants to teach you is not just the things in the martial arts, as your master said, the spirit race is different from what humans are good at, it seems that the master in the martial arts really can't give you more points, but what kind of people we want to become is not determined by the martial arts. Kindness, loyalty, responsibility, courage, perseverance, these are always the noblest qualities of a person, and I hope that I have planted them in your heart over the years. Don't look at the master who often blames you, in fact, I really like you as a disciple very much, and some of the excellent qualities in you don't even have as a teacher. Whenever you see that you are stunned and rush over in a daze, the indomitable spirit often makes you ashamed of your teacher. It is not a bad thing to practice martial arts, and what you get by force will eventually be destroyed by force. You are not only my disciple of Jiang Bai, but also my family, and Master will always be proud of you. Jiang Bai did not respond to Yu Heng, and turned to Zai Xin.
Zai Xin burst into tears when he heard this, but soon his eyes were no longer depressed, and his starry eyes were full of vitality again. Yes, he is not only Jiang Bai's disciple, he is also the inheritor of the Spirit Clan's wolf tribe, his father will eventually grow old, and one day he will take over the wolf flag in his father's hands, no matter what, the responsibility for the clan will not allow him to be depressed.
"Master, if you go to the wolf department in two days, I want to go back and have a look." Zaisin Road.
"I'm going to take you there. Don't think that being a teacher has nothing to teach you except kendo. In fact, the teacher himself has been thinking about whether his previous teaching in martial arts has gone astray, and because the teacher is good at swordsmanship, he just wants to teach you swordsmanship. Now that I think about it, I have walked the northern grasslands in previous years, and their spear master Harajuku has confirmed his skills, and the path he has taken is completely different from our sword. And Harajuku is to enter the Tao with art, regardless of the realm, directly practice the technique first, the technique reaches the extreme, the door of the realm is actually jumped by him in one step, now I think about it, this path is more suitable for you. Jiang Bai said to Zai Xin.
When Zai Xin heard this, his heart burned brightly, and his eyes naturally became hot.
"But as a teacher, I can't be sure that this path is absolutely feasible for you, for those marksmanship outlines, the master doesn't have either, you can only rely on your own swordsmanship cultivation for the current compilation, there can always be an eight-point image, the master is not difficult to use the Tao Imperial Technique. But if you want to enter the Tao with art, it will not be easy, first of all, you must be prepared to bear the pain of flesh and skin. Jiang Bai continued.
"It's all up to the master's arrangement, and what is there to fear about the pain of the flesh and skin, compared to the burden of the brain." Zai Xin laughed casually.
"I've seen how Harajuku teaches his disciples, and it's up to you to see if you can still say that after a while." Jiang Bai saw that the disciple was happy, and there was a warm smile on his face, "You go out first, let's talk." Jiang Bai said again.
Zaisin immediately left.
"This is something I only thought of recently, I didn't have time to discuss it with you before, I wonder what you think?" Jiang Bai said to Zhu You and Yuheng.
"Zaisin is your disciple, how you want to teach him is naturally up to you." Zhu You said with a smile on his beard. "But who is Harajuku, according to what you said, it is somewhat similar to our Spirit Ancestor Dragon Lance Dominance."
"I don't know, Harajuku seems to have appeared out of thin air, and all countries have actually verified his origin, but nothing has been found. However, his spear skills are by no means ordinary, I studied with him back then, and it took a hundred moves to beat him with a sword. Jiang Bai said.
I wish you a thoughtful look.
"In the end, I still say that I am good and not ashamed." Yuheng said naughtily.
"That's the way it is, which is my boast, the three of Ying Guo won within twenty moves alone, otherwise do you think they won't take my actions as a joke and spread all over the world. So far, I don't think I can defeat it, only my brother Jiang Kui is left. Jiang Bai glanced sideways at Yu Hengdao.
"Who are you staring at?" Yu Heng immediately attacked, and reached out to twist Jiang Bai's ears, Zhu You turned around, he was still thinking, out of sight.
"Okay, you Jiang is sloppy, you dare to stare at me, what kind of loyalty do you have with Zai Xin, you are not ashamed, you laugh to death, Yin Guo's rebellious son, break the door, what kind of loyalty can you say!" Yu Heng had already grabbed Jiang Bai's ears, gritted his teeth and said, even the nickname he had given Jiang Bai before.
"I am loyal to my wife and children, loyal to my beliefs, of course I am a loyal person!" Jiang Bai said calmly, but he didn't dodge or dodge, so he grabbed Yu Heng's ears.
Hearing this, Yu Heng silently let go of his hand and stroked Jiang Bai's cheek instead. There was a rare tenderness in his eyes. Zhu You got up quietly and walked out the door, muttering to himself, "Could it have anything to do with the Spirit Clan", and didn't look this way all the time.
"Jiang Lang, good man, I won't bully you again in the future." Yu Heng stared at Jiang Bai, his eyes seemed to be dripping, and he bit Jiang Bai's lower lip as he spoke.
"How many times have you said this, I don't believe it. But if you bully me again, I won't leave. As he spoke, Jiang Bai kissed Yuheng's watery eyes.
"Go back to your room, and don't let the kids see it." Yu Heng was unexpectedly shy......
