Chapter 12 Choosing a Name and Hating the Wind
"Who are you?" Bai Chu asked.
The girl came to 1510: "My name is Zuo Xiaoyue, I just came to the Jackdaw Gate to learn martial arts, and the woman spares her life!"
Bai Chu looked at her dress, which was indeed the same as the ones worn by the boys and girls he saw in the training ground yesterday, so he let go of the hand between her throats and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zuo Xiaoyue touched her throat and coughed a few times, and calmed down: "I saw a woman when I was at the Jackdaw Inn before, and at that time, the woman couldn't get up from Sheng Ziwen's henchman, I really admired it." Yesterday I saw the heroine and the general envoy come back together, and when I heard that you live here, I came to see the heroine," she said, shaking her hand, "I, I really don't mean anything else. ”
Bai Chu looked at the sky, it was almost time, so he said to her, "I've seen it too, you can go to training quickly." With that, he walked along the bluestone road towards the top of the mountain, walked a few steps and turned back and said, "By the way, don't call me a woman, don't be awkward." ”
Zuo Xiaoyue's head was pounded like a wave drum: "Good woman." After speaking, he immediately realized that he had made a mistake and quickly covered his mouth.
Bai Chu shook his head with a smile and turned towards the top of the mountain.
Shi Mingxuan sat cross-legged behind the table in Suyu Pavilion, looking at a yellowed ancient book, heard the footsteps of the visitor, and slowly closed the book.
Bai Chu leaned over slightly at the door, took off his cloth shoes, stepped on the wooden platform, and sat cross-legged in front of Shi Mingxuan, only to see four bamboo boards on the long table between the two of them, the first bamboo board said "Smoke", the second bamboo board said "Hate the wind", the third bamboo board said "No rain", and the fourth bamboo board was empty, nothing was written.
Shi Mingxuan looked at the four bamboo planks and said, "Now, Bai Chu is dead on the rivers and lakes. Before the name of Bai Chu can reappear, you need a name. Now, choose one of the three bamboo boards with a name. ”
Her gaze swept over the bamboo board one by one, and finally stayed on the word "hating the wind", and after a long time, she slowly pushed the bamboo board in front of Shi Mingxuan.
Shi Mingxuan picked up the bamboo board and said in a low voice: "A few heavy smoke and rain are gone, and I hate the wind for the rest of the year." Well, from now on, you will be called Hate Wind. As he spoke, he picked up the pen and wrote the word "Bai Chu" on the empty bamboo board next to him, got up and put the bamboo board into the cabinet behind him, and said, "When you are ready, I will take it out." ”
He sat back at the table and said, "Today, you walk around the door by yourself to familiarize yourself with the environment, and tomorrow at this hour, I will wait for you at the training ground in the back mountain." ”
"I don't know, what's the arrangement for tomorrow?"
Shi Mingxuan just said, "You'll know tomorrow." ”
She nodded, silently recited her new name in her heart, hated the wind, got up, turned and walked out of the house, stepped down the wooden platform of the Suyu Pavilion, and put on her cloth shoes.
Hate Wind only felt a dazzling light pierce her eyes, she blocked her hand in front of her, and turned her side to see the rising sun, the sea of clouds churning under her feet was vast and boundless, dyed rosy by the newborn sun.
She couldn't help but feel a little distracted, after the family was ruined, she had been running around, and she hadn't seen such a beautiful scenery for a long time, until the dew on the branches of the tree dripped on her head, and she shook her senses and found that Shi Mingxuan was already standing behind her.
She bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry to stay here a little longer." ”
"It's okay, the sunrise at Jackdaw Gate is really beautiful. ”
As he spoke, Shi Mingxuan walked down the mountain, shook the folding fan, and said as he walked: "I made an appointment with Jiufeng for a drink today, do you want to go together?"
Hate Feng thought about it, when he first arrived, there was no arrangement, and it didn't hurt to go and see, so he followed behind Shi Mingxuan and walked down the mountain with him.
There is only one road inside the Jackdaw Gate, which leads from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the trees on both sides are densely shaded, and the mountain breeze is mixed with the smell of earth.
She looked at Shi Mingxuan's back, recalling that when she first saw Shi Mingxuan, he was able to sense the Burning Bone Sparrow in his body. All of this may be answered tomorrow.
Halfway up the mountain, I came across a branch path, which extended into the dense bushes beside the road, and you could faintly hear the laughter of people and the sound of cups and cups intersecting.
Shi Mingxuan turned to the path, and after walking a few steps, he pushed away the wooden bushes in front of him, only to see a hexagonal stone pavilion built next to the cliff, and the back was a steep cliff, which was bottomless.
There are two people in the pavilion who are drinking, and one person is raising his head to drink the wine in his hand, this person is Jiufeng. The other man was gray-haired, his face was full of wrinkles, he was wearing a leather horse jacket, and a short knife at his waist.
Hate Feng couldn't help but think in his heart, Jiufeng encountered a thunder fire last night and was seriously injured, and he was drinking here with someone early this morning, and he was really addicted to alcohol.
When Jiufeng saw the visitor, he immediately stood up and said enthusiastically to Shi Mingxuan: "General Envoy, you have to taste this altar of Qingtian, this is a good wine that has been treasured for twenty years, I collected it from an old farmer last time, and it cost me a lot of silver." He looked at the hated wind next to him, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." Come on, come on, I'm talking to Uncle Seven, how a young girl beats Lei Huo, and you just came. ”
The old man stood up and clasped his hands into fists in front of his chest: "The girl is young, she can have this cultivation, it is really terrifying." ”
Hearing them praise themselves so much, Hate Wind had to reply respectfully, "It's serious." ”
Shi Mingxuan and Hate Feng entered the stone pavilion one after another, sat down, and behind them was the abyss, which was really a special taste.
Jiufeng poured a glass of wine for each of them, and the clear and transparent wine was served in a white jade cup, with a gorgeous appearance and a fragrant aroma. Shi Mingxuan took it in his hand, lowered his head and tasted it, secretly appreciating it.
"How about it, isn't it? Mr. Shi made you drink too seriously, come and have a drink with us." Jiufeng raised his glass towards the commander-in-chief, and then the two of them drank a glass of wine.
Hate Feng held the wine in his hand, the strong fragrance came to his nose, and he tasted it shallowly, and his spicy tongue was straight.
Seeing this, the old man smiled and said, "It seems that the girl is not good at drinking, so she does what she can, so she doesn't have to force it." ”
Jiufeng asked, "Judging by your appearance, you should have already met the commander-in-chief in the morning, how about it?"
Hate Wind put down the wine bowl, took a deep breath, and eased the bitterness in his mouth: "I'm called Hate Wind now, what's the matter, is this a habit? Everyone who starts needs a new name?"
The old man nodded: "That's right, the Jackdaw Gate recruits masters from all over the world, regardless of the source, getting started means a new beginning." If you have an obsession, you can keep the past name, and if you don't have an obsession, just forget the past name. ”
Jiufeng said: "Uncle Seventh is right, just like me, now I only know that my name is Jiufeng, and I have long forgotten my past name." ”
Hate Feng secretly thought, I will never forget my original name, and I must always remember that my name is Bai Chu.
