Chapter 6: First Memories of the Past
Fang Shiqing couldn't help asking, "Who did you listen to just now?" Wang Shibai was stunned and said, "Of course I listened to what my father said to my mother." Fang Shiqing stretched out her foot and kicked it: "You go to die, watch the fight~!" Fang Shiqing pouted and ran after Wang Shibai. Wang Shibai said while running: "Dad, Sister Shiqing is chasing me~!" After all, Fang Shiqing's strength was not so long-lasting, and seeing that Wang Shibai was about to run away, he picked up a goose egg-like stone and threw it at once. Ouch~! Wang Shibai covered his head and ran away.
When he arrived in Yunzhou, at the request of Wang Shibai, his parents let Fang Shiqing live next door. Since then, there have been two more girls in the palace, one is only four and a half years old, and the other has only been born recently. Wang Shibai's father Wang Yuantong and mother Wei Yuqi are busy for this little life. In the early spring of this year, the Wang family was told that there was a famous artillery division who came to Yunzhou to recruit students, although Wang Shibai could practice martial arts, but it was said that the artillery division was sent by the immortals, and he could be created through the heavens and the earth, and the Wang family was very excited to hear it.
So not long after, Wang Shibai took Fang Shiqing to take a look. Fang Shiqing was a little nervous, but she was very excited, looking at Wang Shibai who she was leading, she felt a sense of security inexplicably. Wang Shibai didn't feel nervous on the surface, but he couldn't help sweating when he held Fang Shiqing's hand. Fang Shiqing knew that the elders had put too much pressure on Wang Shibai this morning
, In order to avoid any concerns about Wang Shibai and affect his next performance, Fang Shiqing had to give him a reassuring pill first.
Fang Shiqing asked quietly: "Shibai, are you nervous about whether you can be selected?" Wang Shibai swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes, that's right." Fang Shiqing glanced at Wang Shibai and said, "Then is your family a famous family in Yunzhou?" Wang Shibai shook his head and said, "This kind of thing will make people laugh out of their big teeth." Fang Shiqing shook Wang Shibai's arm and said, "Isn't that over, since your selection doesn't matter, what do you care?" Wang Shibai couldn't help but be stunned, and was speechless for a while.
Wang Shibai's originally stiff head suddenly became active, and after thinking about it, he felt that Fang Shiqing was right. Fang Shiqing continued: "Besides, the status quo is the best for your family, there is nothing worth operating, but the family hopes that you can live well." Wouldn't you think about it yourself? Wang Shibai's smile resurfaced and said: "Yes, the future is not what I want, and I just try another future." β
Fang Shiqing nodded, with a hint of joy in her smile. Wang Shibai looked at the bustling crowd, and a hint of enlightenment rose in his heart: "Qing'er, now I understand why there is that sentence: 'Only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals.'" Fang Shiqing's face was flushed, and she lowered her head and said, "You kid, you don't speak seriously." Wang Shibai said with a smile
"No more, let's go in." Outside the admissions gate, a group of teenagers lined up in a long line, looking inside the door one by one, many of them were children of rich families.
Wang Shibai probed his brain and said, "It seems that we came a little late, and there are really a lot of people here." An emaciated teenager came out dejected, and with some shrill laughter, he slipped away. Seeing that the admissions queue was a little slow, Fang Shiqing said with some concern: "Do you want me to help you queue up?" Wang Shibai looked at it and shook his head and said, "It's okay, I don't care anymore, as long as you are by my side." Fang Shiqing gently pinched Wang Shibai and said, "Okay, don't be so numb." β
After a while, the two found that there was a crowd, and a young man squeezed out of the crowd proudly and said: "Today's enrollment preparation is over, and it seems that there are no good protΓ©gΓ©s, and the teacher is afraid that he will be disappointed." Wang Shibai said helplessly: "It seems that there is no hope today, tomorrow~!" The young man coughed dryly and said, "But those who will be named later will come in with me." Wang Shibai almost didn't hold out any hope, so he took Fang Shiqing's hand and said, "Let's go." β
Just as Wang Shibai walked out of the door, the young man actually said, "Wang Shibai." Wang Shibai could hardly believe his ears, and asked the young man, "Are you talking about me?" The young man nodded, glanced at Wang Shibai deeply, and said, "That's right, aren't you Wang Shibai of Sword Casting Villa?" Wang Shibai's head was like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, that's right, thank you for this big brother~!" Fang Shiqing bowed deeply and said, "Shiqing, thank you for your wrong love for Shibai. β
A man with a hat outside the door pulled the brim of his hat and said, "Shi Bai, I can help you here, and the rest is up to you." Wang Shibai's group of people walked lightly to a tea pavilion with hope and apprehension. Wang Shibai was the third, and he saw a small opening in front of him that looked like an artillery, with colorful lights and shadows reflected on it. The first child touched Xiaokou under the guidance of an adult, and soon a gray image appeared in Xiaokou, and the child quickly disappeared, as if he had been taken out. The second child plucked up the courage to raise his finger and pressed it down, but it was the same as the one earlier.
Wang Shibai took a deep breath, lifted his breath and stepped forward, and placed his palm on the small mouth smoothly. Next to him was Fang Shiqing's encouraging eyes, Wang Shibai's heart was unwavering, and his palm touched a cold, and the result came out soon. The ball of light above the muzzle of the small cannon is orange-red, and it also shines with a little white light! The person in charge of the test stood up suddenly, grabbed Wang Shibai's hand and said, "Very good, very good, the teacher has been looking for so many years and finally found the personal disciple~!" Come with me. β
The person who tested quickly changed, and the person just now took Wang Shibai's hand affectionately and said, "My name is Xiao Lingcong, and I am a closed disciple that the teacher found many years ago
If you have any questions that you don't understand, you can ask me. Wang Shibai looked at this young man so kindly, so he said, "Is the teacher an immortal?" Xiao Lingcong smiled: "
He can only be regarded as a cultivator, and it is not as exaggerated as people say. Fang Shiqing interjected: "What can Shi Bai learn from the teacher?" β
Xiao Lingcong continued: "The way of naval artillery, the way of refining materials, and the way of velvet are all no problem. Xiao Lingcong glanced at Fang Shiqing and said, "I didn't expect that my junior brother would have a bit of an affair at a young age." Fang Shiqing's face turned red, and Wang Shibai whispered, "You kid is talking." Wang Shibai blushed and said, "Senior brother's words."
, little brother, I just happened to meet. Xiao Lingcong laughed and said: "Senior brother doesn't have to explain, he has his own discernment." β
