Chapter 420: The Miao Family
The car quickly got on the highway, and Gua Ge was bored, so he took out a white white cloth and wiped his two demon-slaying pestles very carefully and gently. When I looked at it, I found that there were no stains on the white cloth, but Gua Ge still wiped it very carefully, and every line and groove were not missed.
I couldn't help but wonder for a while, so I asked, "Brother Gua, your demon pestle is clean, why do you still have to wipe it." ”
Gua Ge Yile explained with a smile: "The weapon is spiritual, what you do to it, it will do to you, it must not be regarded as a dead thing, but as your own body, in a sense, the weapon is an extension of the body." ”
"Weapons have spirituality?" I heard that I was a little confused, and I drew my heavy knife and flicked it, which was incomprehensible.
Brother Gua saw that I was puzzled and asked, "Have you seen Jin Yong's?" ”
I slapped my thigh and said, "That's a must." ”
Thinking that the three musketeers of Hongcun fought all over Qinglong Town back then, when did they not have a copy of Jin Yong in their pockets?
"Although most of them are fictional, there are some places where the truth is the same." Gua Ge put down the work in his hand and asked, "Do you know why a swordsman with high martial arts skills does not draw his sword when he does not meet an opponent worthy of attention?" ”
"Because you can't look at it? Or...... Disdain? I tried to say.
Gua Ge shook his head slowly, and patiently explained: "You are right, but only a small part of it, and the more important reason is that the swordsman regards the sword in his hand as a friend, confidant, or even a relative, and when he does not meet an opponent worthy of a shot, the swordsman will not bother with 'it'." ”
I listened incredibly and said, "Why can't I feel it?" ”
"Of course you can't feel it now, but when you're not far from the big eye level, you'll understand." Gua Ge nodded, and began to wipe again.
"Friends, confidants, loved ones......"
I muttered what Brother Gua said, and I felt as if I had grasped something, but it seemed like there was nothing, and I couldn't explain it.
"In short, it's a kind of thing above the feel, it's very mysterious, you understand it, and if you don't understand it, no one can teach you, but you can only understand it." At this time, the poisonous butterfly added casually.
I nodded slowly, stroking the slightly chilling blade of the heavy knife, thoughtfully.
If you want to use a new weapon well, you have to have a feel, and the feel comes from the usual training and combat. But there really seems to be something indescribable above the feel. Especially in the moment of life and death, the blessing to the soul is like a weapon giving oneself an extra strength, and the power used is much stronger than usual training.
"And what do you think of the Demon Slaying Pestle as yours?" I asked Brother Gua again, and he had said several things before: relatives, friends, and confidants. It can't all be, right?
Gua Ge held the demon pestle in his hand and conjured up a flower, and said, "I think of it as an extension of my arm." ”
"Limbs?"
It dawned on me that Guago's fighting style preferred agility, and it was easy to understand that he regarded the demon slaying pestle as part of his arm.
"Yes."
Gua Ge nodded and said, "There have been many people in the history of Qimen, who regard weapons as more important than their own lives. Among them, the most famous is the Qimen Dashi Qinglian Sword Immortal, a Qinglian sword to kill the evil demons in the world. ”
"Li Bai!"
I couldn't help but yearn for a while, the fat man once told me about Li Bai's identity in the Qimen realm. Li Bai, the word is too white, the name Qinglian layman, the almost supreme title of Qinglian Sword Immortal is based on his font name.
"What about you...... What are you going to take your knife for? ”
At this time, the poisonous butterfly asked coldly, and before I could answer, Yin and Yang said angrily: "According to this girl, you should still treat it as your good friend, so that you can sleep with it." ”
I listened to the black lines all over my head, when did Lao Tzu sleep with a knife? Then he scolded her: "What about you, do you regard the Hehuan Bell as your lily object?" ”
"Get out!"
The poisonous butterfly was furious, grabbed an apple next to it and threw it at me.
I took it, "Thank you!" ”
……
The convoy traveled at a fast pace, all the way to the great one.
Yichang to Shennongjia is only more than two hours by car, and when the sun gradually turns west, the convoy has gone deep into the hinterland of Shennongjia, and the helicopter sent by the Miao family has been waiting for a long time.
Shennongjia is worthy of the myth and legend of the Shennong Emperor to taste the blessed land of the grass, when he was trekking in the mountains and forests, he didn't feel it, but now he flies to the sky, and suddenly he feels different.
Between the eaves of the abbot, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, all kinds of mountains compete for beauty, although it is winter, but the mountains are still lush and green, and the beautiful scenery is overwhelming. The most amazing is the flowing clouds on the top of the mountain stream, like white silk, decorating Shennongjia like a fairyland.
The helicopter flew for about half an hour, and in front of it appeared a huge lake, embedded in the mountains like a jewel; By the lake, all kinds of manor-like buildings are dotted around, reflecting beautifully in the sunset. The most striking thing is the middle of the lake, where there is a palace complex.
"The Miao family has arrived!" The poisonous butterfly looked at the buildings below, her eyes rippling.
"Where does Miao Miao live?"
My eyes kept searching, and my heart began to accelerate slightly, this is where Miao Miao grows, and there will definitely be a welcome banquet later, and Miao Miao will definitely attend.
"I won't tell you." The poisonous butterfly twisted its head.
I ignored her and turned my inquiring gaze to Brother Gua, who smiled and said, "Naturally, it's the biggest place." ”
My eyes were instantly fixed on the middle of the lake, and there was no greater place than that palace complex.
Soon, the helicopter group rumbled by, went straight to the palace complex in the middle of the lake, landed on the tarmac at the water's edge, Poison Butterfly and Wan Liang received a high-standard courtesy as the envoy of Miao Village, and stepped forward to greet a middle-aged man with deep eye sockets, dressed in a green shirt, with a very high jaw bone and very thin, but a pair of eyes were extremely sharp, like a cold knife.
I don't know why, but his gaze paused on me as he swept towards us, and it made me feel like I was being targeted by some ghost.
"Xiaochun steady, this person is the father of the two brothers Miao Hai and Miao Han, Miao Wutang, and Miao Miao's second uncle." At this time, Gua Ge reminded me in a whisper in ventriloquism.
I frowned, Miao Han and his son, as our great enemies, can be regarded as seeing the main master. Among the generation of the Miao family in power, the eldest is called Miao Jingtang, that is, Miao Miao's father, the second is Miao Wutang in front of him, the third Miao Weitang, the fat man's father, and the fourth is called Miao Wentang.
The name was chosen according to the four-character idiom of "Jingwu Weiwen".
Miao Wutang's appearance is very suitable for his role, at first glance, he is the kind of master who is exhausted in calculating people, and all his fat is consumed on how to calculate people.
At the same time, I also noticed that there was a young man in his twenties standing behind Miao Wutang, tall in a suit, not tall, and quite lean.
I frowned slightly, Miao Han!
I don't need to be introduced by Brother Gua to know this person, and he is quite similar to Miao Haimei, but the style is completely different.
Miao Hai is frivolous and pretentious, and he is not good in leather clothes, but Miao Han is much more pleasing to the eye at first glance, his eyes are soft, and he has a faint smile on his face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. If I hadn't seen his methods, I'm afraid I would have mistaken him for a kind man.
I secretly felt in my heart, this person is good at disguise, at least on the surface, he is a poisonous snake, and it must be more difficult to deal with than Miao Hai.
Just when I was distracted, Miao Han and his son exchanged a few polite greetings with Poison Butterfly and Wan Liang, and exchanged courtesies, but I didn't know how harmonious the two sides were; In fact, we are already enemies in secret, Miao Han's father and son led the corpse gate to ambush us before, this is a mortal enemy.
After the politeness, Miao Wutang Dao made a gesture of invitation to the main hall: "The two noble envoys are invited, and the head of my family is already waiting in the main hall." ”
"The second elder is polite, please." The expression on the face of the poisonous butterfly was impeccable, and he also made a gesture of please, and then took half a step towards the main hall of Miao Wutang. Aunt Hong's eyes flowed, and she also followed.
But me, Gua Ge, and Leather-clothed Ke were greeted by two Miao family attendants and invited to a side hall to rest.
I was speechless for a while, and said to Brother Gua, "Can't we follow Aunt Hong in?" ”
"Of course not." Brother Gua patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Strictly speaking, we are just escorts to the envoys, and we are not qualified to enter the meeting hall, this is all for Sister Hong's sake. ”
"Why are there so many rules, can't you just go in and don't talk?" Although I also understand the Tao, I still feel unhappy, how can I see Miao Miao like this?
"Come, take a sip of tea, don't worry."
Seeing that I was anxious, the leather-clothed guest smiled and lifted the teapot on the table to pour me tea, and comforted: "I've been waiting for more than half a year, and I don't care about this moment, don't worry, I will definitely be able to see it." ”
I had no choice but to do this, I couldn't break in.
After that, the banquet arrangement was super boring, the main hall was a big banquet, and our side was a table of exquisite wine and food, although there were all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but I tasted the same as chewing wax, so I had to take a sip of stuffy wine.
Until the end of the banquet and the accommodation was arranged, I didn't see Miao Miao.
I was also placed in a separate room by the lake, and I was very uncomfortable and restless on the sofa.
Seeing this, Brother Gua jumped over and sat next to me, holding back a smile and saying, "What, can't wait?" ”
I nodded, "Did you say Miao Miao would come to me?" ”
"No, no, she is now grounded by the head of the house, and she will not appear in public unless necessary." Gua Ge shook his head.
"What then?" I was in a hurry.
"There must be a way, it's up to you whether you want it or not." The leather-clothed guest smiled, and after speaking, he glanced at Brother Gua, and both of them smiled very ambiguously.
"What's the solution?" My heart struck.
The leather-clad man looked left and right, and said with a smile, "You can touch her door at night." ”
