Chapter 63: The Words of the Water Mirror, the Oath of the Clouds

"Good name, good name. Summer is the most vigorous and energetic of the four seasons, and I hope you are as your name suggests. It's hard to get along in troubled times, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, but I have faith in you. The old man looked at the summer, his eyes as clear as light.

Xiang Xia nodded a little reservedly. The old man's temperament and conversation, as well as her intuition, told her that the old man sitting across from her said that he could perceive all things in the world, and he was even better.

Xiang Xia brought ginseng tea to the old man, but was stopped by the old man: "This bowl of ginseng tea is specially prepared for you, but you can drink it later." I'd like to say a few more words to you. ”

"Grandpa, how can you tell I'm a girl? And this ginseng tea..."Xiang Xia asked curiously and suspiciously.

"Hehe... I think I've lived in this world for so long that I can't even remember how many years it has been. Others call me 'water mirror', clear water mirror, clear as a reflection of water, it is not difficult to see, not difficult, not difficult. It's just a little girl, who has been using secret techniques frequently in recent days, and the consumption of the body is too great, which will cause weakness and weakness to faint, and this ginseng tea is for you to replenish your body. ”

Xiang Xia was dumbfounded, looked at the old man in surprise, and said, "Grandpa, you can see everything?" You know it all? It's amazing..."I think Xu Yu said before, only those who have the Tao like them can see through her, especially when she is weak. Presumably, this old man is also a Taoist, and the Taoism should be very high, and it can be seen that she has used the eye of heaven.

The old man waved his hand and said modestly: "It's nothing, it's nothing." It's not hard to see, it's not hard. It's a little girl, and I admire it. I think you are young and your skills are not shallow; In the early years, there were also people like you, little girl, who were chosen by God, and we called them 'nobles', and some called them 'celestials', oh... There are other claims, none of which matter. Those individuals are too eager for quick success, and their cultivation is not enough, or they fall asleep for months, years, or they can't fall asleep for a while, they are buried, and then they are never heard from, and they are gradually forgotten, it should have been a long, long time ago..."

Xiang Xia heard this, his face turned pale with fright, he didn't expect to take such a big risk by using the eye of the sky. The old man observed the change in his expression, smiled and comforted, "Little girl, don't worry. Those individuals can't be compared to you, this time God finally saw the right eye and chose the right person... However, in the future, you should be careful in everything, the heavenly machine is not so easy to peep at, and you have to pay some price..."

Xiang Xia nodded, listening to it very reasonably, thinking that every time she activated the Sky Eye, wasn't she inadvertently spying on the Heavenly Machine? It's no wonder that she suddenly fainted both times. Then, as if remembering something, he asked: "Old man, I remember that Zhang Lu once said that I may be a 'Heavenly Spirit Man', and I was sent by God to save the people in the world, is it true?" ”

If it were, she didn't know whether she should feel honored or unbearable. After staying in this troubled world for a long time, she really realized that being an ordinary person and living an ordinary life could not be more comfortable and happy. It's just that now these are out of reach for her, and she doesn't dare or can't ask for them.

The old man smiled and said secretly: "What about the real thing, what about the fake one." You know in your own heart what you should do, and that's enough. It's just, little girl, I saw that you had a peach on your face, and I calculated it for you, you are not only lucky, but also peachy. This person, once it is related to emotions, it is easy to be emotional. But this matter, others can't control it, can't persuade it, everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and they can't be too harsh on you, right? Anyway, anyway..."

Xiang Xia was a little stunned by the old man's words, and his little face was slightly red. What else do she want to ask again, she wants to ask her and Zhao Yun... Well, even if she is slow to react and clumsy emotionally, she still knows that she has experienced it and has already realized it.

She was about to ask, as if the old man had seen through her thoughts, and waved his hand at her, interrupting her: "At the end of the point, no matter how much you ask and talk, it will not be beneficial to you and me." You should drink this ginseng tea. ”

Since the old man said so, it was naturally difficult to ask Xia Xia again. Pick up the ginseng tea, blow it, and then slowly drink it all. As soon as I finished drinking, Xiang Xia only felt sleepy, his eyelids drooped, holding his head, and he was drowsy.

I only heard the old man finally say: "I don't think I will come much, but I can talk to the right person and you before I die." After so many years, I finally waited for it, and it was not in vain for my life. Rare, rare, enough, enough. You have a good rest, this ginseng tea has a sleeping and nourishing effect. After tomorrow, there will be no more cause for you and me, no more meeting. I continue to be my idle cloud and wild crane, but this troubled world has just begun, I need you, wait for you..."

Xiang Xia wants to hear what the old man will say again, even if he listens to his feelings, he is satisfied. In the end, he couldn't hold it anymore, his head rested on his arm, he lay on the table, and fell asleep.

The old man looked at Summer's face, as if looking at his relatives, granddaughter, and muttered, "It's just, let you be a little girl... I can't bear it, alas..."

The old man staggered to the back of the house and woke up Zhao Yun, who was leaning on the back of the house and napping.

"What's the matter, sir?" Zhao Yun woke up and asked.

Still smiling as always, he waved his sleeves and said, "You come with me." ”

The old man led Zhao Yun to the small pavilion, pointed to the summer, and said, "You can take this little girl to the house to sleep." ”

Zhao Yun nodded, a little surprised and a little puzzled, how could he sleep in this pavilion in the middle of the night in the summer, and the old gentleman saw that the summer was a girl. But he didn't ask much, stepped forward and put Summer's hand around his neck, and then hugged him.

The old man thought about it for a while, but he still called Zhao Yun and said in a deep voice: "I know what you have doubts in your heart, but it doesn't matter. I think you should also see and feel that the little girl you are holding is different from ordinary people. What do you think of this little girl..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun's body couldn't help but froze. Turning around, he looked at the old man and pursed his lips: "I..."

"Hehe, I know, I know..."The old man didn't wait for Zhao Yun to speak, stroked his white beard, and said with a smile. frowned again, with a clear light in his eyes, and said slowly: "I also believe that you will protect this little girl." It's just that I don't know if your existence, your company, and your relationship with this little girl are a blessing or a curse... Alas, let's go, let's go. ”

With that, the old man waved his sleeves, shook his hand, and turned his body back. Zhao Yun frowned, the old man spoke well, every word was fine, and every sentence was in his heart. Admittedly, it was impossible for him not to feel it, and he had already discovered the extraordinaryness of summer. But what do the old man's words mean? Could it be that one day he will bring danger and misfortune to the summer? Summer, summer, where are you sacred? I, Zhao Zilong, will I be worthy of you in the end.

"Blessing or curse, as long as she needs it, I will be there." After a long time, Zhao Yun came back to his senses and said firmly. I don't know if it's for myself or for the elderly.

After Zhao Yun left, the old man turned around and looked at the back of Zhao Yun leaving. The posture is tall, the pace is firm, the silver robe is hanging, and the young hero. If nothing else, it's a match made in heaven; Perhaps, even if there is, the union of the two can make this world look new. It's hard to say either...

Following. They set off and rushed back to the small town of Xinye, not only were they all safe, but they also brought back a military advisor. Named Xu Shu, the character is straight, Xiangyang celebrity, proficient in the art of war, and well versed in strategy.

At first, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still dissatisfied with Xu Shu, but Xu Shu predicted that the error before and after the day when Cao Jun would come to attack was no more than three days, coupled with Liu Bei's respect for Xu Shu and his kind words to persuade Summer, the two of them had a better attitude towards Xu Shu.

Cao's army was stationed in Fancheng, wanting to attack Liu Bei's army and capture the small city of Xinye, and the general was Cao Ren.

Above the court, Liu Bei was sitting upright on the handsome case and announced: "The Cao army is pressing, and in this battle, Cao Ren is the main general." Although Cao Ren is brave, he has a military advisor, and he has fought with Cao Ren in the summer before, and he also defeated Cao Ren, so there is nothing to fear. ”

"Really? Little Summer, I don't think your small body is like a martial arts practice..."Zhang Fei opened his mouth in surprise.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "No, we are also brave in the summer, last time I picked the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Hong alone, and I didn't fall behind at all." ”

"Really..."Zhao Yun's eyes flashed with excitement, and he looked at Xia Xia excitedly.

Xiang Xia stuck out his tongue embarrassedly and nodded slightly. For a while, all the generals in the court, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Guan Ping, all cast approving glances towards the summer.

"Oh, little summer, it's hidden. Compete with me one day, hehe. Zhang Fei shook his belly and said with a smile.

"Uncle is good at kung fu in the summer, and when my uncle is free, my nephew will also ask for advice." Guan Ping stepped forward and clenched his fists and saluted.

There's nothing wrong with asking for advice, it's just that this uncle... She forgot that she was commensurate with her second brother, and Guan Ping was the second brother's son, so she should shout like this.

At the right time, Liu Bei smiled again and said: "Okay, you guys, if you want to compete, you have to ask for advice, you have to wait until after this battle, right?" Then he looked at Xu Shu and said respectfully: "Military advisor, is there a good way to break the enemy?" ”

Xu Shu nodded, picked up the chess pieces and compared them on the table, and said while setting up the chess array: "I just observed on the city tower that the formation that Cao Ren has laid out is the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation. Rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, open, these eight gates, this array was originally created by Sun Bin ancient array, and later generations developed and changed. The general platform in the array, called Longyan, was newly added later. Cao Cao was also good at using this formation, but Cao Ren only learned the formation formation from Cao Cao, but did not learn the essence. Therefore, as long as one fierce general brings five hundred fine armor, he enters from the southeast Shengmen and exits from the west gate, and this array will be broken! ”

As soon as the words fell, all the generals looked at each other and nodded. Zhang Fei couldn't wait, and immediately stood up and asked: "I'll go!" ”
