Chapter 2 Competition
Thanks to Ye Xueqing's careful care, I vainly claimed to have fallen from the sky, and now my body is weak, and the pain and discomfort have gradually disappeared.
The strangeness between the two of us gradually disappeared, and we let down our guard against each other, and we were not as polite as a few days ago, but I still spoke to Miss Xueqing with respect and gratitude.
"Miss Xueqing, thank you for taking care of me these days, my body is almost recovered, if you can, can you take me to the mountains for a walk, I also want to see the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty and the worldly realm of Sanqing Mountain."
Xue Qing nodded.
"It's okay, I see that you are always looking out of the window every day in the house, so you must have wanted to go out a long time ago. Then let's go out and relax. ”
"There's Miss Lao Xueqing."
Ye Xueqing and I walked slowly on the mountain, through stone paths, steps, streams, until we walked into a sea of flowers.
The sounds of egrets and cranes are crisp and pleasant, and the flowers in front of you are colorful and soothing. Presumably this is the beauty of ancient times.
"If I'm not mistaken, this flower field was planted by the heads of the previous generations."
Xue Qing nodded: "Yes, but I will take care of it sometimes." It seems that you know a lot about the Liangyi Gate. ”
"I've read about some books before, and I've heard some people talk about them, so I know a little about some things on the rivers and lakes."
Ye Xueqing looked at me with a slight frown: "I forgot to ask you these days, who are you, and did you really come down from the sky." ”
I rubbed my chin and thought for a moment. In the realm of what I know, it doesn't include my own name.
I shook my head.
Xue Qing looked at me closely: "Do you have anything unspeakable about your background?" ”
I looked at Xue Qing and walked over to the flower stand to look around. If you can't remember your name, it's better to create one on the spot, it's like a nobody.
I looked at this fairyland-like place, and after thinking for a moment, my memory seemed to give me a reminder.
"Nangong Jie. As for my background, I don't want to deceive you, but I really can't remember. If Miss Xueqing doesn't mind, she will think that I fell from the sky to accompany you, which is my life experience. ”
Xue Qing's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Well, I believe you, for some reason, I have an inexplicable sense of familiarity every time I see you."
I smiled, "That's the best, in fact, I have a vague feeling of this, but I can't grasp it." ”
Before we knew it, it seemed that we hadn't been around for too long before the sun had set.
Ye Xueqing took me to the place where I first appeared.
The clouds rise, the terrain is dangerous, the sea of clouds is churning, and a sunset is suspended above the sea of clouds.
We sat on the rocks on the edge of the cliff and watched the sunset together.
"The beauty of Sanqing Mountain is enough to make me feel at ease, but I didn't expect this sunset to be even more dazzling. It's really like a dream. ”
Ye Xueqing looked at the sunset and tilted her head slightly: "Well, I have lived in the mountains for many years, and I never get tired of it, because there are always some endless scenery." ”
Looking at this sunset sea of clouds, there are really some vast rivers and lakes, and the pride and ambition stirred by the clouds and smoke, I really want to chant a poem.
"The rivers and lakes are too big, and the cold comes and the summer comes and goes...... The flowers bloom sometimes, and the flowers fall silently. Only this sunset, still the way it was, has never changed. ”
Hearing what Xue Qing said, I had a deep understanding, and the tight strings in my heart seemed to be suddenly plucked, making a crisp sound.
I stood up and looked at the sunset with surprise and sorrow, and for a moment I almost burst into tears.
"White-clothed out of the desert north, thousands of miles on the dark clouds!"
Xue Qing looked up at me slightly, a little surprised.
"What's wrong with you, why are you so excited all of a sudden?"
I smiled: "It's just a whim, it's not a big deal, it's just that I have a deep feeling for the flowers of the Xueqing girl to bloom and fall silently." ”
Xue Qing also stood up and looked at the sunset: "Maybe it's just an illusion, I used to be like this, and I often have deep feelings about these things." ”
But I don't know how to put into words the feeling, the addictive and at the same time disgusting.
At the time when I was born, I didn't know what I had been through, and I suddenly appeared here, and I was sometimes touched and sometimes uneasy.
A hint of wandering familiarity, incomparably warm and nostalgic. When I tried to touch it, I suddenly felt uneasy.
It's not a dream, I've been here, but I've been familiar with it in my dreams.
I sat down slowly, holding my forehead.
Xue Qing looked at me and hurriedly helped me: "It's okay, your body has just recovered, and you have walked for a long time today, and your body is rarely unwell, so let's go back and rest as soon as possible." ”
The rivers and lakes are big, but we are so small.
"Well, it's not too early, so let's go back early."
After a night's rest, my body felt completely recovered.
Early in the morning, when I woke up and opened the door, I was greeted by the faint smell of flowers.
In this situation, it is as if you are in a painting.
Xue Qing said that she had the habit of practicing in the morning, and at this hour, she must have gotten up to practice by now. It's also idle to be idle, so it's better to go and see.
After some searching in the mountains, I finally found Ye Xueqing near the partial flower field yesterday.
I slowly approached, standing a few steps away, sniffing all kinds of strange flowers, while admiring Ye Xueqing's sword practice.
This is the first time I have seen the ancients practice, and I only saw Xue Qing's swordsmanship. Sometimes lightning speed, fast as fast. Sometimes elegant, sleek and as sharp as the wind.
If you look closely, these should be two kinds of swordsmanship, and if you want to be practical, it must be the former.
For some reason, I know the name of every move she makes, and I can even learn to use it.
After watching it for a while, I couldn't hide my excitement, and I really wanted to learn these martial arts immediately, which would also help me in the next adventure.
"Hibiscus out of the water...... Moon of the Moon...... Willow leaves breeze. ”
I took a closer look at it again.
"Huh? I really don't know why. I don't even remember seeing it. ”
"It's called Flying Snow." Xue Qing stopped practicing her sword and looked at me.
I learned the most favorite posture of the ancients, clenched my fists and thanked Miss Xueqing for asking for advice.
Xue Qing looked at me with a smile: "Seeing that your body has almost recovered, you are in a good mood, and you have a good understanding of martial arts, then take me a sword and try it." ”
After Xue Qing finished speaking, she stabbed up with a sword, her move was extremely fast, I didn't have time to dodge at all, and I didn't know whether to flash left or right, and my scalp was numb all of a sudden.
Seeing that Xue Qing's sword was about to stab up. At the moment of suddenness, I subconsciously clamped the head of the sword with two fingers.
His eyes and Xue Qing stared at each other, and then quickly swiped over.
Xue Qing blushed a little, and immediately withdrew her weapon.
"I saw that you were still sick a few days ago, but I didn't expect you to be so good that you could catch my sword with two fingers. Presumably the martial arts must be good. ”
I thought about it for a moment, and I couldn't even think that I would be able to catch Xue Qing's sword.
"Don't, I don't know martial arts, what kind of skill am I, if it weren't for Miss Xueqing's deliberate mercy and slowing down her sword moves, I would be able to catch Miss Xueqing's sword and save this little life."
Xue Qing thought about it, a little confused, as if she was just saying. Is that really the case?
Then Xue Qing came back to her senses.
"You are a little impressive to me, since you reacted so quickly, and you can casually say the name of my sword style, I'm afraid that you will have to change your name to Immortal Shaoxia in the future?"
I hurriedly said: "Don't don't, don't kid me, Miss Xueqing, just now it was really just luck, subconsciously caught it." ”
Xue Qing smiled: "I think you are just too modest, we have known each other for many days, you can just call me Xue Qing like the master and senior brother." ”
I also looked at Xue Qing and smiled: "Xue Qing! Then you can just call me Shaojie, in that case, we are not welcome to each other. ”
She pursed her lips and smiled.
"Look, after a while, I will have the demeanor of a young man."
My face flushed.
"Alright, I'm not going to tease you. Jie, I really want to know where you came from, and who you are taught by this skill? ”
As for the first question, I can't answer it, and I can't find the reason for the rest of the questions.
I looked at Ye Xueqing, his eyes were very clear, maybe sometimes sentimental, but after all, he was simple-hearted, simple and kind.
I didn't want to deceive her, but I really didn't know how to explain it to her, because even now I don't know why I'm here, just because of a dream. Could it be that the so-called Zhuang Zhou Mengdie is also true? "Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, is also a butterfly's dream Zhuang Zhou?" No, it's really too hard to tell Xue Qing all this.
But fortunately, as long as it is a human being, the emotion for some things is eternal and interconnected, and it has been like this since ancient times, and this is human beings.
"Xue Qing, do you like to look up at the starry sky, did I tell you that I came from the sky."
She looked at the sky and nodded.
"Well, I often go to Yunqitai to look at the stars and wonder if there are really people living in the stars. I know you said you came down from heaven to be with me, but is that true? ”
I nodded.
"The night you found me, a vision came from heaven. Maybe I'm a star official in the sky who landed in the mortal world. ”
I turned my head to look at Xue Qing again: "Xue Qing, among the people in the world, you are the only one who sees the stars the most, so I incarnated from a certain star official in the sky and fell to your side." ”
Although it is embarrassing to say this, I can only use this method to fool Xue Qing.
Although I really don't want to deceive her, if I can really understand my purpose and background here, I will be the first to tell her.
Xue Qing looked at me, covered her lips and smiled.
"That'...... Tell me, from which star are you a star officer? From which star did it fall? ”
I was a little overwhelmed and had to point to the sky.
"The vast night sky, dotted with stars, the starry night is long. Of course, I can't find which star it is, after all, it has fallen, and I can't remember what happened before. But it must be the brightest star in the night sky. ”
Xue Qing looked at me and was silent for a moment.
"You are really like a mystery, people can't guess it, but it's like letting people enter your heart and find out you."
"It's the same as his junior brother, and it's like a mystery." Xue Qing blushed.
Ye Xueqing pulled the loose handful of hair behind her ears, and looked into the distance, as if looking into a blurry and sad void.
I put my hands in my pockets and didn't dare say anything more, and I didn't dare to disturb her.
He looked at the sky and thought about his life.
Suddenly my stomach growled.
"Why are you hungry?"
I nodded, to be honest, after such a long time, can a person not be hungry?
"Okay, then I'll go make some breakfast at once, and you go back to the bedroom to rest for a while." Snow Trail.
I shook my head.
"There is no one on the mountain, and it must be very tiring to be alone, so I'll give you a hand."
Xue Qing looked at me and nodded.
"It's fine, but you don't want to mess with me."
The next morning, I received a letter from someone I don't know.
I grabbed the pigeon and took down the letter from it.
Tell me to adapt to the current environment, protect myself, and tell me everything if I can one day.
I don't know who it is, but since it says in the letter, I will do it.
I tucked the envelope into my clothes.
Then there was a knock at the door.
"Jay, are you there?"
I let the pigeon go immediately.
"Xueqing, come in, you don't have to be so polite."
Xue Qing pushed the door open and blushed a little.
"After all, you are a man, and I am a woman, it is inconvenient, and it is always good to knock on the door."
Xue Qing looked around the room and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to tidy up the room so neatly, I thought I would come and tidy it up when I had time." ”
"I don't dare to bother you anymore, after all, I live in your junior brother's bedroom now, and I should love this place as much as you do."
I picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water and handed it to Xue Qing.
"It's hard for you, by the way, a gentleman came up to you on the mountain, claiming to be Mr. Wangchuan, do you know?"
Wangchuan, I touched my chin and wondered, could this person have something to do with my life experience?
Shaking his head, he said, "I don't know, except for you, no one should know me for the time being?" Is there anything he is looking for me? ”
He said that a few days ago a vision came from heaven, and a man of God came to this place. Listening to his description, I feel a lot like you. ”
I drank the water and shook my head.
"I really don't know him, Xueqing, do you know him?"
Xue Qing also shook her head.
"I haven't seen him either, but I've often heard the master mention the name of Wangchuan."
I put the teacup back on the coffee table.
stood up and said, "Okay, since it's someone Ye seniors know, it's okay for me to go and see it, maybe I can learn some things about me from it." ”
"He said to wait for you at Yunqitai, Yunqitai is a mountaintop platform, the terrain is dangerous, I will accompany you there."
"You just finished practicing your sword in the morning, so let's take a break, I can go over by myself." I helped Xue Qing to the chair and sat down.
And I also went to see this so-called Wangchuan with all my doubts.
After a lot of twists and turns, I finally climbed up.
Looking around, the sun is rising, the sea of clouds is churning, and the pines are green.
I saw a man in a robe, with black hair with a slight white hair, sitting on a stone, and the seat opposite seemed to be for me.
I walked over to greet him.
"This gentleman, are you looking for me?"
I walked over to the stone across from him and sat down.
"I don't seem to have seen you before, I don't know what the gentleman is looking for me."
He pointed to the sky.
"I deduced the heavenly machine and calculated that the head of the group of dragons will be born in the near future, and it must be you Shaoxia."
I looked at the horizon and smiled.
"The head of the dragons? Sir, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person, I'm just an ordinary person, the head of the dragons? ”
He stood up, looked at me, looked around again and smiled: "Those who have been able to achieve great things throughout the ages have only been able to achieve great things from the sky, and ordinary people have them, and life experience does not determine a person's success." But as soon as the big thing is accomplished, he is no longer an ordinary person. ”
He looked at me.
"What's more, the young man was born in a rare vision, he must be an immortal talent, and he must not be arrogant."
I said, "Sir, I'm a little confused by what you're saying, the so-called visions in the sky are just natural phenomena. ”
"I don't know if the young man has ever thought about what is a hero, what is the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, and what is the ambition of the family and the country?"
"I've thought about it, but it's a little unrealistic, not to mention that I don't even know who I am now, but if one day, I can contribute to the people, it will be great."
The gentleman laughed and said: "That's it, although you are confused, but you can think about the people, such an ideal, so you are the immortal material, the person I am looking for." I hope that Shaoxia can help Yunlongzhai. ”
I looked at the gentleman with a bewildered expression.
"What?"
The gentleman was visibly flustered.
"That,...... If you think about it carefully, I will come to you again. ”
Mr. Wangchuan seemed to be a little flustered suddenly, but he immediately stopped it and left. What a strange person.
As for the Yunlong Village he mentioned, I also know some, in my memory it was created to resist the invasion of the Liao people and help the Song people, and it was created by a generation of heroes Cui Shaoyun.
These things are quite strange, let's talk about them another day.
After I came down from Yunqitai, I passed by the vicinity of the flower field and saw Ye Xueqing talking happily with the man I thought I had. They seemed to be very familiar with each other.
"I wanted to come to the mountain to visit my uncle, but I didn't expect him and Brother Wenzhou to be there. Hey, it looks like there's no one to drink with me. ”
"The master was invited by the head of the Bagua Palace to parade this time. But since the senior brother is here, there will naturally be no shortage of good wine. ”
The man laughed and said, "Haha, it's easy to say, but I heard that the old man has hidden a lot of good wine on the mountain!" ”
"Xue Qing!" I called from behind them.
The man looked at me for a moment.
"Huh? Where can such a handsome little brother accompany me, it seems that the junior sister will not be bored in the mountains these days. Ha ha! ”
This person is dressed in a heroic manner.
I also looked at him, and compared to Mr. Mochikawa, his long hair was loose and flowing. If you want to say it, there is a prodigal son.
He still has a wine gourd in his hand, and he looks up and takes a few sips from time to time, but he doesn't look drunk!
Xue Qing seemed to be a little shy and said, "Senior brother, don't make fun of me." Let me introduce you to it! ”
I heard them talking about me, so I stepped forward and stood next to Ye Xueqing.
This dress, plus he called Senior Ye as his uncle. Could it be that this person is the third son of Yanzhou, Yan'an City?
Jianghu people say that they are not empty.
Ye Xueqing looked at me and said, "Senior brother, this is the person I mentioned to you just now, and he reacted very quickly. And he knows a lot of moves. ”
"Jie, this is the emperor's royal guards except for the Eight Pillar Generals, Yan'an City, the third son of Yanzhou, who is nicknamed not empty."
I smiled and said, "I know, Brother Yan's stealing skills are unparalleled in the world. ”
Yan Ancheng looked at us and said, "How kind is the call, it seems that Senior Sister Xueqing no longer treats you as an outsider, and you are really a talented woman standing together." ”
After saying that, he drank again, and he could really drink this wine.
"Senior brother!" Xue Qing said with a slight blush.
After finishing drinking, Senior Brother Yan said, "Haha, I'm glad to meet my little brother." In Xiayan'an City, it is only a slight name in the rivers and lakes. ”
I was surprised: "You are really Yan'ancheng, the third son of Yanzhou!" I thought I was guessing! ”
"Little brother, isn't it good, you can guess anything."
"I once heard that Brother Yan once swept the three major casinos in Jiangnan, and in only three days, he ran all over the country to catch all the outlaw gamblers. Is it true that people don't return empty when they send nicknames? ”
Brother Yan took a sip of wine and looked at me and Xue Qing: "Little brother is not simple, since he can know my skills, he even knows many things about me. I'm optimistic about you. ”
I thought everything that existed in my memory was fake, but I didn't expect it to be true.
Just as I thought for a moment.
Yan Da took a few sips of wine and turned to look at me.
"Little brother, I just heard from my junior sister that you react very quickly and have good basic skills, but you have no internal strength?"
I smiled slightly: "If it weren't for Xue Qing's sword pretending to stab me, I really don't know if I can react by myself and catch it quickly." ”
Brother Yan drank wine and pondered: "Well, what about such a little brother, compete with me, we don't compare martial arts and internal strength, only reaction." ”
"This? Brother Yan's theft skills can be described as unmatched, no one knows, no one knows. He is also one of the current imperial guards, how can this strength be comparable to me? ”
Brother Yan took a big sip of wine and said, "Why should a man bother with his mother-in-law and mother, can you try it?" It's not better than how you know who's stronger and who's weak. ”
I looked at Senior Brother Yan and looked at Xue Qing.
In Xue Qing's eyes, I could see that she was also looking at me expectantly.
I just nodded and tried hard.
I don't know if the abilities that remain in my memory will be able to beat this peerless master, but I still hope to compete with him.
"Okay, I'll compare, but what's the comparison?"
"Ambitious little brother, as for how to compare, it's up to you to decide!" Brother Yan patted me on the shoulder and said.
I thought for a moment: "In that case, I won't shirk it, but can I compete after eating?" ”
Brother Yan nodded.
"Good idea, let's go, eat first! Senior sister, don't forget the good wine you just promised me! ”
Ye Xueqing took out a jar of good wine from the wine cabinet, which was said to have been treasured by Ye seniors for many years for hospitality.
Brother Yan almost drank most of the wine in the wine cabinet, which can be described as really arrogant.
And I tasted some properly, but I had a feeling that I was used to drinking it for a long time.
During the meal, Brother Yan and I discussed how to compete.
Let's go to Yunqitai and throw hidden weapons at each other, if I can hit Brother Yan's hidden weapon, I will win, if I can't hit his hidden weapon, we will win for him.
After the meal, we came to Yunqitai. In order not to hurt me, Brother Yan picked up a petal.
"Are you ready, little brother. The petals are soft, but if they do hit you, there is no guarantee that you will not be hurt. ”
I weighed the stones, nodded, and said, "It's fine." ”
Brother Yan didn't shirk either, after taking a sip of wine, he immediately flew the petals over.
For some reason, I've had countless trials like this in my mind.
The moment the petals flew halfway through, I immediately threw the pebbles out.
Then the two collided, and I saw my stone slashing over Brother Yan's shoulder.
Brother Yan took a sip of wine unhurriedly, but Xue Qing was a little surprised.
"Little brother, it's not simple."
I clenched my fists and bowed modestly, "Thanks to Brother Yan's mercy." ”
He hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't, I really don't have mercy, you don't believe Xue Qing, Xue Qing can see that I just flew flowers, which is enough to shoot down the geese in the sky. I'm afraid that Senior Sister Xueqing may not be able to stop it. ”
Xue Qing nodded: "It can be seen that Senior Brother did use all his strength just now." But I'm afraid there are still some subordinates who show mercy. ”
"Haha, no, no, the little brother's reaction is really fast, if he can be trained, I'm afraid he will be an immortal talent! It's just that if this matter gets out, I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed. ”
I smiled and said, "Brother Yan, don't say anything, it's not certain that my three-legged cat's kung fu can beat a few ordinary people, let alone immortal talent!" ”
Brother Yan walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder: "Little brother, a man can't underestimate himself, you are young, you have such a reaction and style, no wonder my junior sister is impressed with you!" ”
Xue Qing was a little angry and said, "Senior brother, if you are making fun of me, if you come back to Sanqing Mountain, there will be no wine to drink!" ”
"Senior brother is straightforward, junior sister don't care. By the way, I have a message for your little brother. ”
I looked at Brother Yan and nodded.
"Please!"
"If you want to practice martial arts, you have to work hard, talent is indeed important, but not a long-term solution, opportunism is taboo, although you have such a body and basic skills, but you still need someone to guide, but also need to train diligently."
"Thank you Brother Yan for reminding me, I wrote it down."
Brother Yan patted me on the shoulder and smiled, "Haha, good boy, remember." Since my uncle is not here, then I have to go back, otherwise my father will have to lecture me again. ”
After speaking, Brother Yan said goodbye to us and went down the mountain.
