Chapter 17: Temptation
Shake Light came back to her senses with a rhythmic knock on the door, her thoughts receding like a tidal wave, and she stood up and opened the door to the people outside.
It was Xuan Qingyi, who came to remind Shaoguang to finish breakfast and return to Qingxiamen as soon as possible.
Shaking Light answered him with a smile, closed the door and returned to the house, Lianjing had already opened her eyes, but she still maintained her posture.
A pair of eyes that seemed to be able to perceive people's hearts swept over the shaking figure and returned to the Buddha beads in his hand.
"Master Wei, go back to Qingxia Gate as soon as possible."
Hearing Lianjing's voice, Shaoguang asked him strangely, "Why did you remind me to go back as soon as possible?" Shaking Light suddenly thought of something, she seemed to grasp something, looked at the lotus mirror with wide eyes, and said with certainty, "You know something, right?" ”
Lianjing didn't answer her, just silently turned the Buddha beads in her hand, the more this happened, the more a feeling of something was wrong in her heart, she closed her eyes with a shake light, pressed these in her heart, and when she opened her eyes again, she returned to her usual smiling appearance.
Shake Guang raised his hand to tie his hair, tidied up the clothes on his body, took the box of peach blossom-flavored body cream, and walked to the door, "Let's eat first, does Master Lianjing want to go back to the mountain with us?" ”
"Well, the poor monk will also return to Qingxiamen today." Lianjing got up from the bed, held the Buddha beads in one hand and the other in front of his chest, and walked out of the room unhurriedly behind Shaoguang.
The sun is shining outside, the golden sunlight gives everything a golden glow, Qingpingfang is bathed in the sunshine, and the small courtyard is calm and peaceful.
Shaoguang stretched his waist, Jiang Qiqi, who had just come down from the second floor, walked down with Gu Ming, and just happened to see the door of the room behind Lianjing Guan, the dark color in his eyes flowed, and he greeted Shaoguang with a smile, "Shake Guang." ”
Shaking the light against the light, the voice was crisp, "Seventeen, good morning." ”
Jiang Qiqi had already approached as he spoke, he looked at the lotus mirror, with a gentle smile on his face, and made a Buddhist salute to the lotus mirror, "I have heard the reputation of the lotus mirror master for a long time, and today I can see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation." ”
"Fame and reputation are false, poor monks dare not bear it, donor, it is better to treat poor monks with a normal heart." Lianjing replied with a Buddha salute and calmly replied to Jiang Seventeen's polite words.
"Seventeen is taught." Jiang Qiqi still replied with a smile.
Shake Light was bathed in light, listening to the meaningless conversation between the two, and she even wanted to laugh a little.
Lotus Mirror is worshiped as a high monk, ordinary people always feel that he is sacrosanct, and they dream of saying a few words to the monk, but if they really speak, this monk can make people give up the idea of talking to him forever and ever.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he had a poisonous tongue, and he was sharp, but his mouth was very strict, and he couldn't ask anything, so he could only look at his unfathomable appearance.
Now that Jiang Seventeen is talking to Lianjing, this fate is not much better than himself, and the psychological balance is always more insidious.
Xuan Qingyi, who went to the front and came back, walked over with Yun Xing, and the two of them were not even surprised when they saw the lotus mirror, they performed a Buddhist salute together, and said, "Master Lotus Mirror." ”
Lianjing also replied with a Buddha salute and greeted the two, "Master Xuan, Master Yun." ”
Xuan Qingyi asked Lotus Mirror, "Master Lotus Mirror, you haven't been to Qingxiamen for a long time, please stay a few more days at this Qing Meeting." ”
"Thank you for the kindness of Lord Xuan, the poor monk will bother for a few more days."
"It doesn't matter."
Xuan Qingyi said to Shaoguang again, "Shaoguang, today is the last day of the ring match, although you and I have successfully defended ten games, but you still have to go back to see the opponent's situation, don't take it lightly." ”
"Yes, big brother."
"Okay, Tao Niang has prepared a meal, let's go back to Qingxiamen as soon as possible after we have used it together."
The group expanded and walked to the small building in front of the morning glow.
Tao Niang has prepared a vegetarian meal for Lianjing, and the others are a few delicate side dishes with gruel.
After happily finishing breakfast, Shake the light to say goodbye to Tao Niang to go back to Qingxia Gate, Tao Niang looked reluctant, and repeatedly emphasized, "Xiao Shaoguang, if you have time, come to the bottom of the mountain to find my sister." ”
"Okay, I'll go down the mountain when I'm free." Shaoguang replied to Tao Niang affectionately, waved his hand, and returned to Qingxia Gate with Xuan Qingyi and his party.
The sun on the mountain is more brilliant, the mist between the trees is still floating in the air, the leaves are covered with dew, a few people work lightly all the way, the leaves do not stick to the body, hurriedly rise and fall in the forest, and the time of two teas has reached a thousand steps.
Stop on the white platform, and go further to the Yuntai platform.
Xuan Qingyi, as the first apprentice of the head of the family, took on the responsibility of the senior brother, asked a few people to go back to change their clothes, and then came to the Yuntai after a rest, everyone readily agreed, and immediately scattered back to the house.
Shaoguang walked on the road planted with bamboo mixed with a few old camphor trees, followed by Jiang Seventeen.
She fell back and approached Jiang Seventeen, her face was kind, "Seventeen, your guard's martial arts shouldn't be bad." ”
What she said was in an affirmative tone, Jiang Qiqi just smiled back, "It's okay, I don't know what you're asking for?" ”
After getting the answer, he shook his chin and looked like a little adult, "I'm just curious why they don't participate in the ring competition, and there is no identity restriction at the Qing Talks, isn't it?" ”
Shaking Guang glanced at Jiang Seventeen with his eyes, and then said, "Are you not allowing them to participate?" ”
"Hahaha, you have wronged me, they chose not to participate, I didn't force intervention."
Shaoguang looked him up and down with unbelieving eyes, groped his chin, and slowly spoke, "Really? ”
Hearing this, Jiang Qiqi smiled helplessly, reached out and rubbed his shaggy head, and sighed in his heart: It feels good.
Shaking Light was stunned, her eyes were wide open, and the black pupils accounted for a large part, making Shaking Light's eyes very aura, Jiang Qiqi looked down and saw her eyes, and she could clearly see the slender eyelashes, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
He chuckled lowly, his voice coming from his chest, with a bit of pleasure, different from his usual polite smile.
Such laughter came from the top of Sha Guang's head to her ears, waking Sha Guang up, she touched her hair irritably, because her small body was half a head lower than Jiang Seventeen, she had to look up at Jiang Seventeen, her cheeks bulging.
"Don't touch my hair!"
"Sorry, I didn't hold back." Jiang Qiqi looked at her hair, and the fine sideburns were too short to tie up, scattered in her ears, "Moreover, your hair itself is quite messy." ”
Shake Guang reached out and pulled his hair a few times, "Is it messy?" Isn't it academically to focus too much on appearances? ”
"A gentleman's courtesy and dignified appearance are the basic requirements, right?"
"But, I'm not a gentleman, I'm a villain, does the villain understand? I'm still young. Shaking Guang stretched out his hand to compare his height, and tiptoed to compare Jiang Seventeen's height, "Understood?" ”
"Gentleman Shendu, I think this is not only about breadth, but also about length, right? If you use the height limit, you will not become a gentleman, you will study in vain, and you will eventually go astray. ”
"A gentleman has a request, don't look at it, don't listen to it, don't touch it, you not only see it, but you also touch it, can your behavior be regarded as a gentleman's trip now?"
"Seventeen is against the gentleman's behavior, and seventeen can change it, but it is wrong to shake you off, this problem is much more serious than Jiang's."
"I didn't expect Seventeen to have a talent for argumentation, but I admire it." Shake the light to change the topic, wanting to end this "foreign" controversy.
"It's not bad to shake the light, so that Seventeen admires it." Jiang Qiqi stretched his sleeves and slowly shook back the praise of him.
"I'm very interested in Seventeen your guards, I wonder if Seventeen can let them participate in the ring as well?" Shake Light went back to his original topic, "It's not a problem to easily defend ten games with their strength. ”
Jiang Qiqi looked at Shaoguang with a smile and was silent for a long time before he said, "Shaoguang, do you have any intentions in actively encouraging my two guards to participate in the competition?" ”
"Well, this is to ensure that there are people we are familiar with in tomorrow's group stage, and cast a wide net to catch more fish."
"There's some truth to what you're saying." Jiang Qiqi's eyes fell on her clean face, and she could be seen smiling like a flower, her eyes were clear, and her whole body was full of grace and ease, but what she said was not so pure, and she would always think about ulterior motives.
Perhaps, I think too much?
"Gu Ming should participate, if Bi is replaced by me, he is angry, and my words may not be very effective."
"You master, it's so hard." Shaoguang teased him, "Although tomorrow's group stage is to draw lots to form a team, if you explain to my little junior brothers, it's okay to add someone to it." ”
"A gentleman wouldn't do that, shake the light." After Jiang Qiqi heard her words, he coldly threw out such a sentence.
"That's okay, don't do it, depending on your luck, your family Gu Ming won't lose no matter who you team up with tomorrow, and in the finals the day after tomorrow, Gu Ming will have a place, and it will be better to bring it out in the future."
"Shake the light, you have so much confidence in my guards, it really makes me sad." Jiang Qiqi lowered his head slightly and looked at Shaguang's eyes, "Aren't you worried about me when Shaguang?" ”
Shaoguang looked at his lowered head, smiled brightly, and couldn't miss the opportunity, reached out and touched his head, and deliberately rubbed his hair a little.
Withdrawing his hand, he replied with a solemn face, "No, I have special confidence in Seventeen, more than I have in myself. ”
"Promise your good words." After Jiang Qiqi shook his hand and withdrew his hand, he straightened his waist and slowly said four words.
Shake the light doesn't care about the words on his face, he is in a happy mood, and his eyebrows and eyes are crooked, "That's it, I hope I can see your family fighting in the ring on the cloud platform later." ”
After speaking, he took the opportunity to pat him on the shoulder again, "I'll go first, seventeen, you should also hurry back to Liuyunyuan." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, without stopping at all.
Shake the light away, not taking away a single cloud, leaving more and more brilliant sunlight, sprinkled through the gaps in the huge canopy, Jiang Seventeen remained calm in the speckled light.
The path in front of me was empty, the green plants that could be seen everywhere in the Qingxia Gate, the branches and leaves stood on both sides of the road, the morning sun gradually blazing, evaporating the dew on it, and the air was full of the smell of good camphor trees.
Jiang Qiqi quietly looked at the scenery in front of him, took a step, and returned to Liuyun Yuan with his thoughts.
Gu Ming had been quietly following him not far behind, and naturally he heard what Shao Guang had just said.
When he entered the room, Gu Ming spoke, "Master, my subordinates participate in the ring competition." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Qiqi found a cushion, took off his shoes, lifted his clothes and sat down.
Gu Ming said very little, and after he got Jiang Seventeen's answer, he stopped talking and went out to make tea quietly.
Jiang Qiqi sat at the table, and when he saw a table of books, he didn't move to read them, just sat there quietly, his fingers unconsciously pulling his cuffs, which meant that he was thinking about things.
When Gu Ming came back with a cup of tea, Jiang Qiqi was still very quiet, and his posture had not changed.
Gu Ming gently put the tea cup on the table, he lowered his head and thought about it, and said in a low voice, "Master, my subordinates have seen Wei Gongzi in the hot spring house. ”
Jiang Qiqi also whispered, "You said it after you came back from injury." ”
"The subordinates thought, Wei Gongzi suddenly wants to let your guards participate in the ring competition, I'm afraid it's a temptation."
This is the longest thing Gu Ming can say.
Jiang Qiqi didn't speak, still thinking.
Seeing this, Gu Ming silently retreated, leaving the silence to Jiang Seventeen.
When Shaoguang appeared in the trial platform again, Jiang Qiqi had already sat in the stands with Gu Ming, Shaoguang glanced at it from afar, and walked over with a smile.
"Seventeen, you're here early."
"Gu Ming is going to participate in the competition, I will bring him over early to familiarize myself." As soon as Jiang Qiqi touched the chair, he became soft and boneless, and the whole person was lazily nestled in the chair.
Shake the light in his heart, and argue with me about the gentleman's appearance.
She sat on the chair next to Jiang Qiqi, stretched out her head and spoke to Gu Ming across Jiang Qiqi, "Gu Ming, find a ring that has just finished a fight or someone has just gone up later, otherwise people will be angry to death if they have fought hard for nine games but lost in your hands." ”
Gu Ming didn't speak, and glanced at Jiang Seventeen.
Shaoguang continued, "I know that your martial arts are strong, and you can go up and win whenever you want, but some people can't, you can fight nine games, and if you lose, you won't have the energy to continue to fight ten rings, this is not sympathizing with the weak or something, this is called the basic master demeanor." ”
She reasoned with Gu Ming little by little, and no matter how cold Gu Ming was, she was enthusiastic about herself.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Qiqi spoke, "Shake the light, what you said is very reasonable, did you hear Gu Ming clearly?" ”
"My subordinates understand." Gu Ming replied respectfully.
Shaoguang didn't care about his neglect of himself, and sat down satisfied, looking at the ten rings on the field.
Today is the last day of the ring competition, and the people who come to participate in the competition have a very high level of force, and you can also see many powerful young people in the rivers and lakes, and they have all kinds of weapons, which are strange.
Shake the light and look at it little by little, stay in the more exciting ring for a while, and at the end you can clap your hands and praise a few words of other people's play.
Jiang Qiqi, who was next to him, also looked at it for a while, and said to Gu Ming, "Gu Ming, you go, remember what Shaoguang just said." ”
"Yes."
Gu Ming stepped down from the stands and walked towards a ring.
