Chapter Twenty-Four: The Two Compete for Favor
As soon as Yun'er's voice fell, the room fell silent.
Quietly looking at the three divine weapons hanging in front of him, the young man's eyes were full of tears,
Raising his little face and looking out of the window, the tears were still falling silently after all.
The young man burst into tears instantly, his immature voice was a little choked, and he shouted into the moonlit night sky outside the window,
"Dad!Yi'er has grown up!Do you know!The end of the world!Yi'er will eventually find you!Dad~"
The white light flashed, the white ape flashed in the air, and the young man threw himself into the arms of the white ape, hugged it tightly, and howled and cried.
So many years of grievances and endless longing for my father, at this moment, all turned into tears of longing, gushing out.
Yun'er and Yu Qiao also hurriedly dodged over, feeling a little anxious, swaying left and right, looking ridiculous, hating themselves for their pointed heads, they couldn't transform into humans, they couldn't give the little master a warm and broad chest, at this moment, they were quite envious of Bai Hua.
The white ape didn't speak, only gently patted the young man's slightly thin back.
What a young man Meng Yi! Suddenly broke free from the arms of the white ape, his little hand was horizontal, and he wiped his tears.
"Why should I cry! I'm just like my father, I'm a pure man! My father never shed a single tear when he cut off his left arm! Why should I cry!"
The young man looked up at the white ape, his eyes resolute and his eyes clear.
The white ape raised his hand as white as snow and fluffy, wiped away the tears from the corner of the young man's eyes, and nodded.
Meng Yi got up, put on his coat three or five times, carried the dragon knife on his back, and took out the mille-feuille high-top sheepskin lace-up practice boots that his mother had made for him from the kang head cabinet on the inside, put them on quickly, and jumped lightly.
"Let's go!"
The boy's face seemed to have a little more tenacity and maturity, and the innate confidence and pride in his eyes still gave people strength and hope.
It seems that the boy has completely found a new self.
The white shadow flashed slightly, Bai Hua had already flashed back to his place, he knew that a new day had begun, and the young man was going to get up early to practice offensive and defensive techniques.
The wooden door "creaked" open,
The sky is not yet bright, the moon hangs in the southwest, and the wind at night is refreshing.
Standing under the eaves, the young man hesitated slightly, then turned around and walked in the direction of the latrine.
Practicing is a must,
After all, this morning urine still has to be sprinkled,
Bai Hua, Yu Qiao, and Yun'er didn't know the situation, and they floated around the teenager in a fan shape, silently following up.
The Three Realms headwind slashed on the left side of Meng Yi, hanging out of thin air, faintly emitting golden light.
Wei Qiao was on the right, scrambling to be the first, the sword body was slender, black and shiny, and he was slightly volleying in the air.
The Cloud Shadow Sword, half a step behind the young man, was full of soul power, and under the reflection of the moonlight, the whole body of the sword body actually emitted a mist-like glow.
The Cloud Shadow Sword seemed to react a little faster, and had stopped and hovered ten steps behind the young man.
Bai Hua and Yu Qiao also understood the purpose of the little master's trip at this time, but they still scrambled to give in to each other.
The summer was cool, the clothes were shallow and short, Meng Yi helped the wooden dragon knife on his back, and was about to lift his clothes and untie them, and took out a cool one.
The headwind slash and the scorching sky sword probed their brains, and the two sides followed up instantly,
The young man looked left and right, a little embarrassed, looked down slightly, and his hand stopped moving,
"This ......"
But I heard Bai Hua say angrily: "The second child goes back!"
The young man was startled, his bladder tightened slightly, and his right hand quickly stuffed the slightly huge object into the crotch of his pants.
Bai Hua saw it clearly, and hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, little master, I'm asking Yu Qiao to go back! I'm the boss! He's the second!"
Meng Yi couldn't laugh or cry a little, turned his head to look at the Burning Sky Sword, and then glanced back at Yun'er not far away,
It's a little embarrassing.
"This ......"
Bai Hua said again: "Qiao Qiao, look at you like that, why are you here! I can shine! I am next to the little master to illuminate the ground under his feet, so that the little master will not accidentally wet the upper of his newly worn boots!"
Not to be outdone:
"I'm here to protect my master, in the dark night of this summer, everything is restless, in case of a wild dog python or something, in case a mouth ......"
The boy was shocked again, and was about to take out the thing again, but he had to stuff it in,
The young man looked at the starry sky in the distance and began to hesitate: "You!
He glanced at the Burning Sky Sword and smiled.
Wei Qiao and Bai Hua are raising the bar,
”...... What should you do if you bite the master? At this time, if the master doesn't even have a weapon in hand, and you can't be matched by the master, how can you deal with this? Moreover, can the master use you to illuminate? How can you get the new boots wet? The master is still a child, and he is pure and vigorous, and he can pee in the wind!
When Bai Hua heard this, he felt very reasonable, he was speechless for a while, but he refused to give in, the light and shadow flashed, flew to the right side, and hit it sideways, and the two goods were about to get up.
Meng Yi smiled bitterly, walked a few steps, took advantage of the moonlight, crossed the ridge, stood on the bank of the river in the rocky valley, and took out his clothes again......
"Nima, it seems that I can't do it if I don't pee in the wind today!"
Under the moonlight, a clear water line, down into the sky, fell into the river beach ten zhang deep, which is more than enough to wind three zhang.
Meng Yi shook his hands, and a spirit breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh~ah!", which is still very cool.
Just tidied up my clothes,
The light flashed, but the two goods were lined up on both sides of the wind, probes probing the brain,
Bai Hua: "It's over?"
The boy nodded: "Hmm"
Qiao Qiao: "Oh, yes!"
The two goods actually probed their brains and looked down at the river beach.
Meng Yi helped the dragon knife on his back, smiled lightly, and turned around, "Let's go!"
The young man knew very well in his heart that these two goods were also playing false in pushing Yun'er as the boss just now, and in order to compete for the position of the boss, these two goods would not be peaceful in the future, so they had to think of a rut.
At this time, the sky will be colorful, the dawn will appear, and everything will start again.
Walking on the crystal pearl of the early morning dew, the young man found a smooth open space next to the bluestone path at the entrance of the courtyard.
Take off the dragon walking knife, take off the outer coat, and lay the dragon walking knife flat on the placket gown,
The young man punched and kicked his legs, twisted his wrists and twisted his hips, moved his hands and feet slightly, and stretched his right hand sideways, palms up, and shook slightly.
The three divine weapons are very highly perceptive, and they instantly understand that the master is calling himself,
I just heard a crackling, clanging,
The Fierce Sky Sword, the Cloud Shadow Sword, and the Three Realms against the wind, all the time hanging neatly beside the side, rushed forward, and the hilt of the sword hit Meng Yi's hand.
Bai Hua knew that his master would not summon himself when he practiced the way of attack and defense, but he also flashed his light, and he forcibly knocked Wei Qiao into the air and flew a few feet away.
In the hands of the young man, in the end, it is a cloud shadow sword inlaid with colorful pearls and jade, the sword grid is inside, the blade is like a flowing cloud, the sword body is like a shadow, and the cold air is pressing.
Although Qiao Qiao was a little resentful, he no longer stepped forward to compete with Yun'er for favor.
After all, Yun'er is a daughter, she is considerate and careful, and she knows that Meng Yi does not have a sword book in her hand, so she communicates with her master in secret words, and her voice is extremely soft:
"The first style of the Cloud Shadow Sword entry: the wind is light and the clouds are light, and the flowers fall without a shadow. ”
"Step sideways with your left foot!"
"The right arm is stretched out, and the sword is on the line!"
"Lunge straight stab, turn around and split!"
"Stop and collapse!"
"The tip of the sword!"
"Ring hands and hold hands!"
"Sword Shadow Flying Flower!"
............
The young man had an excellent understanding, and in only three hours, he knew the Cloud Shadow Sword's nine-style offensive and defensive techniques by heart.
After a short rest, he practiced the full set of twelve swordsmanship of the Burning Sky Sword that had been ripe in one go.
The sky was already bright, the birds in the woods on the mountain had begun to sing, and the sound of chickens and dogs echoed through the valley.
The young man stopped, gently wiping the Cloud Shadow Sword,
The white ape actually scooped out a scoop of spring water from the house with a wooden spoon, held it in both hands, and looked at the young man with his clear blue eyes eager and full of encouragement and appreciation for the young man.
The boy took it, "Thank you, Xiaobai!"
Buried his head in the "Gollum! Gollum" took a big sip.
At this moment, two feet away from the young man's back, a fluctuating dark translucent figure suddenly flashed, and after a pause in front of the courtyard gate, he turned and flew away in the direction of Longzang Peak.
How could the Liekong Sword be willing to live in the back of the people, the hilt of the sword was against a clean and dry handkerchief, and it rushed in, squeezed in front of Xiaobai, and respectfully: "Master, wipe your sweat!"
The white ape had to take a half step back, his eyes flickering, "Well, yes, you're very spiritual!"
The courtyard door "creaked" open, and Mo Xiaoshuang walked out.
The white ape was so frightened that he jumped and dodged behind Meng Yi, and his hand hanging over his knees timidly pulled the corner of the young man's clothes.
Mo Xiaoshuang was stunned for a moment while holding a half-foot-long firewood in one hand and a brown cloth bag in the other.
Looking at his son's red little face, and then at the Burning Sky Sword and Cloud Shadow Sword hanging on both sides of Meng Yi, Mo Xiaoshuang was surprised and delighted: "Yi'er~"
"Mother!~", Meng Yi threw herself into her mother's arms,
The Blazing Sky Sword and the Cloud Shadow Sword followed silently, accompanying each other.
The white ape reached out and came up.
Mo Xiaoshuang stroked her son's hair, looked at the light projected by the distant mountains with relief, and said softly: "My Yi'er!
Meng Yi took Bai Ape's hand: "Mother! this is Xiaobai! is Yi'er's best friend!"
Mo Xiaoshuang looked at the white ape with gentle eyes and snow-white body, and she also loved it, so she tiptoed slightly and reached out to touch Xiaobai's forehead.
Xiaobai was smart, afraid of scaring Mo Xiaoshuang, and didn't squeak, just bowed his head and rubbed back and forth in Mo Xiaoshuang's palm, feeling the rare warmth.
Meng Yi looked at the cloth bag in his mother's hand and raised his head, "Mother, has the benefactor been here again?"
Mo Xiaoshuang nodded: "Well, I was boiling sweet potato porridge just now, and suddenly I heard some movement under the eaves, and ran out to see that the benefactor had put the money and food on the wooden bench at the door of the hall!
"Ahh
Meng Yi was taken aback, he was by the courtyard wall just now, less than two feet away from the courtyard gate, this person was silent, coming and going without a trace, it can be seen that this person's soul power cultivation has reached the realm of nothingness and charm, which is impressive.
The young man and the white ape looked at each other and thought, "Why didn't Xiaobai feel it?"
For several years, every once in a while, a brownish cloth bag would appear in the courtyard of Meng Yi's house, which would contain some rice noodles and some broken silver.
The mother and son always wanted to know who this benefactor was, and then gradually learned the habit of this benefactor, except for the usual ten days and a half months to come, every few days before the festival, they must come.
One year, during the Midyear Festival, the two took turns hiding under the window to wait, wanting to see who this benefactor was.
At noon, Meng Yi, who was leaning on the windowsill, was sleepy, and was grinning and snoozing, when he heard a soft sound of "pop!" outside, and a small bag of money and food had been hung on the deadbolt of the hall.
Meng Yi shouted: "Mother!
The mother and son hurriedly rushed out of the hospital,
Except for a peach tree branch swaying back and forth by the courtyard wall at the entrance, there was no one around, but there was no one to be seen.
Mo Xiaoshuang will save up the broken silver, and if she doesn't know who the benefactor is, she won't use it to supplement the family, even if the days are hard.
What surprised the mother and son even more was that every time they ate the rice noodles in the brown cloth bag, Mo Xiaoshuang would wash the cloth bag and dry it under the eaves, and the cloth bag would soon disappear, and the next time the rice and noodles were delivered, it would be the same cloth bag.
The young Meng Yi is smart, once, he took a small wooden table, sat under the clothes pole, waited until the cloth bag was dry, and then immediately took it off and folded it, put it under the pillow of his kang head, and checked it before going to bed, and the next day, the cloth bag was still missing.
At this point, the mother and son completely admitted defeat and completely gave up the idea of catching the benefactor on the spot, but often burned incense and prayed, wishing the benefactor no disaster, good fortune and no evil, and peace every day.
"Yi'er! Let's go! Let's go home and have breakfast! My mother boiled porridge and baked egg cakes for Yi'er! My mother knew that Yi'er practiced hard!"
"Hmm!", Meng Yi grinned and swallowed.
It seems that the child is indeed hungry.
Meng Yi took the slightly heavy brown cloth bag, and Qiao Qiao and Yun'er flashed into the ground.
The white ape took the wooden spoon, and his figure looked awe-inspiring and tall, and he walked behind.
As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, Mo Xiaoshuang went into the inner room and held a small green bamboo hollow fruit plate, which was filled with some sweet potatoes and peanuts, and brought it to Xiaobai, as if talking to herself.
"Little white girl, I don't know what you like to eat! On weekdays, I see that the red-faced monkeys on the trees of Longzang Peak always like to eat peanuts and sweet potatoes in the field! These may also be what you like to eat!"
Mo Xiaoshuang put the fruit plate in front of Xiaobai, took off the cotton cloth under the eaves, and gently wiped some of the soil on Xiaobai's back.
Xiaobai wanted to cry, tears were in his eyes, and at this moment he actually remembered his teacher outside the clouds.
Xiaobai's tearful eyes glanced at Meng Yi,
The boy was snickering.
Xiaobai thought to himself, I am already an immortal-shaped Taoist body, the first dew of morning food, and the spiritual mist of evening drinking, this human vegetable and fruit have not been accepted for thousands of years.
Looking up at Mo Xiaoshuang's loving and expectant eyes, Xiaobai couldn't help but grab a sweet potato and gnaw it with relish.
Not to mention, Xiaobai's eating appearance is still very elegant, not a mouthful, just chewing "Ballast!Ballast", which is very sweet and delicious.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Someone knocked on the door, and the white ape was shocked, picked up the fruit plate, and squatted behind Mo Xiaoshuang to hide.
Mo Xiaoshuang hurriedly took the white ape building in her arms, and stroked the soft hair on the white ape's back that was as soft as snow, "Xiaobai, don't be afraid! It's Qin'er!"
"Brother Mengyi~!Erniang!"
Mo Xiaoshuang guessed accurately, it was really Qin'er, and Brother Mengyi came to her early in the morning.
Meng Yi opened the wooden door bolt, a jasmine fragrance rushed in, Qin'er wore a green satin fine pleated short skirt, and a white silk neck-length corset coat, pink eyes, face like peach blossoms, smiling, right hand holding a four-edged bamboo lacquer brocade box, a neat four-layer food box, left hand holding a bamboo basket, the basket put bananas, pears, peanuts, walnuts and so on.
"Good morning, Erniang!"
Qin'er's hands were not free, so she bent down and bowed to Mo Xiaoshuang and greeted her.
"Brother Mengyi, good morning!", Qin'er smiled and groaned, a little panting, after all, the weight of the things in her hand was a little heavier.
Meng Yi hurriedly took it, "Qin'er! Thank you! You ...... again Qin'er, you always send so many delicious foods, I~"
Qin'er smiled like a flower, and pointed to the wooden box food box: "Qin'er knows that Brother Mengyi has been practicing very hard recently, so she asked the kitchen grandmother to make you some stewed black chicken with mountain mushrooms and chestnuts that nourish qi and blood, and send them together with some snacks that Erniang likes to eat!"
The young man spoke, wanting to say something more polite,
Qin'er took the fruit basket again, the green shadow flashed, and she ran over and hugged the white ape in her arms, full of joy.
"Xiaobai~!" Qin'er's little face rubbed against the white ape's forehead, grabbed a sweet mountain pear, and handed it to the white ape.
Xiao Bai was dumbfounded, glanced at Meng Yi, and took the yellow and fragrant mountain pear.
Xiaobai's heart was comfortable, and he was held in Qin'er's arms, and he suddenly had a bold idea, why do I still have to go through the calamities, just be an ordinary white ape!
Xiao Bai is also enough! At this moment, he forgot the teachings of the master beyond the clouds.
The white ape looked up at Meng Yi again, blinked, and thought, "Little master, if you have no objection, this girl is as beautiful as a flower, I really want to give her a retort!"
