Chapter 8: Children Are Hard to Shape (7)
At noon, almost all the monks went to the aftertaste hall to eat. But in a remote no-man's land among the moon buds and clouds, Xia Mu is practicing archery. Doesn't it say that stupid birds should fly first, and diligence can make up for clumsiness?
Unexpectedly, this drawing of the bow actually became a rather embarrassing thing, not only did she feel so, but even Situ Ming was about to be angry with herself.
Situ Ming said that the Situ evening sky back then could pass through the Yang in a hundred steps, killing two birds with one stone, and the style was peerless, and one arrow was invincible.
But the first arrow he shot, let alone a hundred steps, didn't even do a single step, because it fell directly and smashed on his instep. Fortunately, she used the stone arrow of the unopened blade, otherwise she would probably be the first person in the two thousand years of the moon bud cloud to learn archery and smash the instep through her foot. It's hard to say whether there will be anyone coming later, but it's definitely unprecedented.
Seeing that Situ Ming was almost collapsing, Xia Mu was embarrassed to practice in front of him anymore, for fear that he would have a heart attack. Don't say that the medical skills that I should have learned are not refined, I didn't even dare to learn them again in the past two days, and since I killed Tan Youyun's medicine garden that day, I don't have the face to go to Penglai Peak to study anymore.
But happily, Xia Mu had already practiced to the point of weakness, and finally turned one step into ten steps, and the feather arrow was finally able to fly ten steps away and then landed. Your sister's! It's not easy to live a real life!
"The posture is wrong."
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him, and he was so frightened that the feather arrow that was about to shoot fell out of his hand and smashed on the instep of his foot again......
I am most afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet......
Just wanted to scold, but when he turned around, he saw a tall figure dressed in white standing behind him, he was so close to him that Xia Mu could smell his breath as soon as he looked up, gentle and dangerous. Unconsciously took a step back and asked vigilantly, "Why are you here?" ”
"If you're like this, you won't be able to shoot that heart in ten years." Situ Lan's unceremonious sarcasm succeeded in arousing a woman's self-esteem.
"Why do you say that about me! You have the ability! "Originally, what this woman wanted to say was: I have improved from one step to ten steps, which is already a great progress! But after thinking about it, it didn't seem to be very powerful, and it was very embarrassing, so I had to change my words temporarily.
"Okay." Situ Lan didn't have any prevarication or twisting, and the bow and arrow in her hand shot out as fast as lightning, only to hear the sound of the 'bell', right in the middle of the heart.
The speed was so fast that Xia Mu hadn't even seen his movements in one go, and he had already done it, and handed the bow and arrow back in front of him.
"Uh......" The slap in the face came too quickly and caught people off guard, but a certain woman still stubbornly refused to bow her head and said: "How many years have you practiced, how many hours have I practiced, that is, you have the face to compare with me, hum!" "Take back your bow and arrows, and prepare to slip away.
"Where are you going?" Situ Lan saw her posture of running away.
"You don't care where I go!" When the last two parted ways last night, it was not pleasant, especially when Xia Mu knew that he was at a loss. But women, sometimes that's the case, the more weak the heart, the more flamboyant the momentum, which is called not straight, but angry.
Then Xia Mu heard Situ Lan sigh in front of her for the first time, albeit very faintly, and she wondered if she had heard it wrong.
"Chang'an give it to me." Situ Lan said.
Although he didn't know his intentions, he obediently took Chang'an off his waist and handed it to him, only to hear him say again: "The seal of the Holy Maiden Temple has been completely lifted, so its spiritual power is not something you can control, I will seal it first so that you can better control it." ”
Oh, I see, probably he saw a mess among the moon buds and clouds this morning. Also, even if his family really has a mine, no matter how big the industry is, he can't afford to lose like this. Fortunately, he didn't let himself pay, and he thought it was kind.
"That...... Thank you. He hesitated for a moment, but said it anyway.
"Why?" Situ Lan didn't know why.
"Anyway, thank you for taking care of you during this time." With that, she turned and bowed her head again to fiddle with her bow and arrows.
“…… Need not. ”
After a long time, Situ Lan returned the resealed Chang'an to Xia Mu, and looked at her appearance of wanting to speak and asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”
"Nope." Xia Mu finally didn't dare to ask, that Jiang Feixu is here again, what does he think? But what does he think has to do with himself? If Jiang Feixu is here as a guest, then he is not even a guest here.
"Hmm." Situ Lan didn't say much, and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Xia Mu still shouted after all, it's really not his own style to hold things in his heart, he has worked hard to pursue it, even if he will fail in the end, even if he is injured, it is better than retreating without even trying.
"What?" Situ Lan really stopped, turned around and asked.
"I ...... I ...... "The summer curtain is already red, what do you say?" Will he just hack himself to death after saying that? Or will you laugh at yourself? Or at best he turns his head coldly and walks away, because he doesn't bother to talk to himself about it?
Although each result seemed to be quite miserable, she still stubbornly wanted to say it.
has always been a person who faces everything, and is accustomed to relying on his own struggle for everything, the opportunity to study, the opportunity to work later, and the opportunity to act, no one will fall from the sky by himself.
But the first time I faced the matter of feelings, I didn't have much experience, and I relied on reading more of the script and plot to support it. In his character, there seems to be no way except for brave pursuit.
"How's it going?" Seeing that the expression on her face changed instantaneously but did not squeak, she had to ask again.
"Situ Lan, I'm really sorry! I haven't consulted you, I haven't consented to you, I'm ...... I seem to like you! But...... But don't worry, I just wanted to tell you that I like you. As for you, you don't need to have any burden, and I won't harass you, like you said, there are so many people who like you, and if you have to take care of everyone, you can't be busy. Alright, that's all I have to say. I'm ...... I'll go first. ”
This is the first confession in Xia Mu's life in addition to acting, and he didn't dare to look up at the other party's face during the whole process, and his eyes kept rolling around, and he didn't have any focus. Although he was a little incoherent, he finally expressed his careful thoughts that he had suppressed for so long. There was no time to wait for the other party to refuse or make a move, the first reaction was to run away, I don't know how many times faster than the feather arrow she shot, and the flying person was gone.
Situ Lan remained in place, staring at her back as she ran and disappeared in a daze. After a long time, on his *** immobile face, there was a smile that was more gorgeous than the spring and white snow.
As if he had been caught stealing chickens, Xia Mu didn't stop panting against a big tree until he was about to run out of breath, and looked back, but fortunately, no one caught up.
It's not right to think about it! Why is it that people confess romantically and shyly, but when they confess, it seems that they have escaped death? What a fucking failure! He was so angry that he kicked on the tree pole, and in an instant he grinned in pain, and tears flowed wildly. Could it be that this feeling, why did it hurt so much from the beginning!
"Miss Xia, what's wrong?"
A sudden voice sounded in her ears, and the woman who was jumping and spinning in place with her feet in place successfully frightened to the ground.
"Oops! Is Miss Xia okay? Situ Xuan hurriedly wanted to help, but because men and women couldn't kiss after all, he had to help him, but he didn't expect the summer curtain to open it directly.
"You ...... You people in the moon and clouds, don't you walk without sound? "It hurts, frightens and angers, and I am so aggrieved that I want to cry.
"Uh...... About a cultivator, the walk is light. Did Miss Xia meet something? Why are you so alarmed? ”
"It's okay! I...... Very good! Couldn't have been better!! "It's like eating a piece of hot tofu in a high-end restaurant, and it's so hot that your heart is about to catch fire, but you can't spit it out, so you have to swallow it. Well, that's probably what a woman is feeling at this time.
"Huh...... Is it? Situ Xuan looked at her hideous face, and her smile was more ugly than crying, so she had to laugh awkwardly, and said in her heart: Why do I not believe it so much?
Xia Mu took a closer look, and it turned out that he ran to Zhaoyang Peak when he was in a panic, so he simply said, "How about I learn magic lessons with you in the afternoon?" ”
"Good! I'm just trying to Miss Xia...... Uh, I mean I was trying to teach you a magic class. ”
"Alright, let's go."
In the bell ring palace on Zhaoyang Peak.
"That's it, will it? Miss Xia try it. ”
After Situ Xuan finished explaining the types and usage of the talismans, Xia Mu listened to it with relish, as if he had watched a science fiction movie, and now that it was his turn to experiment, he was naturally more interested and eager to try.
"Okay, I'll try." After finishing speaking, he began to pick up the pen, according to what Situ Xuan said before, carefully and carefully.
Situ Xuan is very satisfied with this student at present, this Xia Mu is practicing tracing, so he sat on a wooden chair not far away and poured himself a cup of tea, not to mention, after talking for so long, his mouth is a little dry.
After a while, it was finally drawn, Xia Mu picked it up with satisfaction and looked at it, shook it dry, and threw it into the air as Situ Xuan taught, and then raised two fingers with his right hand, held it in front of him with his left hand, and recited the spell he had just learned: "Taiyuan Hao Master Thunder Fire Essence, Gather Yin and Yang to Guard Thunder City." Guan Bo ascended to the abyss court in a hot manner, and the wind and electricity evoked ghosts. Floating in the Taihua life of the public guests, God has a hurry to go. The rain in the sun is instantaneous, driving the dragon to power out of Xuanhong. Haste as a law. ”
However...... After a long time, Xia Mu looked up left and right, but there was no movement.
Why? It was clear that Situ Xuan did the same just now, and then a thin spring breeze and rain floated in the air, which was cool and wishful. Why can't you do it yourself? What went wrong?
"Haha...... Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, it's normal to beg for rain for the first time, and you can ...... it after practicing a few more times" Before Situ Xuan finished speaking, the water splashing above the heads of the two of them didn't know where it came from, as if someone was carrying a bucket and pouring it down directly, and it was pouring rain. In fact, it is more appropriate to say that the dam is open to release flood water than heavy rain.
But the rain came and passed quickly, and the two of them hadn't reacted yet, and the blink of an eye was gone, leaving only Situ Lan and Xia Mu in place, no! It should be said that it is two soup chickens!
They looked at each other, dumbfounded. Xia Mu spewed out a mouthful of rain from her mouth, and the entire table, the items on it, the rune paper, and the floor were all stained with water, just like the clothes on her body, soaking wet.
Situ Xuan was still holding a tea cup here, and the tea in it had obviously been drunk just now, but in the blink of an eye, it was full of rainwater.
The heavy rain also wet the hair of the two of them, and their faces were blurred, and neither of them spoke, and who didn't know what to say.
At this moment, suddenly another lightning bolt in the air fell on the window lattice not far away, igniting a burst of fire, followed by a thunderclap, which sounded in the empty room and above the heads of the two people, and immediately blew the summer curtain to the ground, and the rain in the teacup in Situ Xuan's hand was sprinkled on the ground again.
Everything came and went too fast, so that Situ Xuan's expression didn't have time to change.
"Let's go to the water! Let's go to the water! ”
Then, the monks on duty outside the Zhongming Palace were so alarmed that they ran in, only to find that the fire on the window was still burning, so they began to cry out in fright.
Finally, in the midst of a panic, a group of chaotic, panicked, and noisy footsteps, everything finally calmed down again......
