Chapter 0247 - The Second Thing, The Man Under the Tree
"Draw the sword faster. β
"Your hands are not steady enough, and from tomorrow onwards, swing your sword a thousand times a day. β
"Raise the sword, raise the sword, the tip of the sword must be raised, and the root of this style lies in the wrist. β
Su Qi leaned against the stone wall, there was a light breeze blowing in his ears, it was late autumn, the sky was high and refreshing, even the wind was full of wanton cheerfulness, he had a thin book spread on his knees, he looked at the two girls who were practicing swords not far away, looked down at them every once in a while, muttered non-stop, and memorized very seriously.
The same goes for the girl in the distance.
Zhao Riyue finally ended the days of using wooden swords three months ago, and began to practice swords with real knives and guns, for which Lu Celadon temporarily stopped his practice, first led Zhao Riyue out to choose a sword, and then began to guide Zhao Riyue's swordsmanship after coming back, after all, there is a big difference between real swords and wooden swords in weight, length and technique, if no one guides you at the beginning, it is very easy to go astray and develop some bad habits, which is likely to ruin a good seedling of swordsmanship.
The sun was setting, the pale red afterglow was sprinkled on the two maidens, the sword body reflected in the sun, the shadows on the ground were beating happily, and two big bears were poking their heads on the hillside, and the girls in the distance seemed to have no intention of feeding them, and quietly slipped away.
Su Qi lowered his head, the book in his hand was actually almost read, the old man's collection of nearly 10,000 books, he flipped through it over the years, most of them had been read, but he never found a way to solve the damage to his spiritual sea, but he read a lot of strange legends, and the book in his hand was also, thin forty or fifty pages, he told eight or nine absurd myths.
Su Qi happened to see the article of the Twelve Heavenly Pillars.
Legend has it that there were twelve pillars of heaven and earth between heaven and earth, which penetrated heaven and earth, and supported the whole world, and then the human race did not respect the will of the gods, and there were repeated disrespect when offering to the gods, which angered the heavenly court, and sent immortals to cut down the pillars of heaven, after the twelve pillars of heaven were cut off, the world and the earth were greatly changed, the mountains collapsed, the rivers flowed backwards, and the people were killed and injured.
The story ends abruptly, not saying what the world has become like after that.
Su Qi felt very strange about this, and hurriedly turned a few pages back, and the next two stories were about mortals who became immortals by eating medicine, and the other was about a river that channeled and gave birth to a lotus flower that became an immortal, neither of which was a follow-up to this story.
"Uncle Xiaoshi, what are you looking at?"
Zhao Riyue's little head squeezed over and looked at it curiously, her face was covered with fine sweat, and she looked a little embarrassed, but her red face added a bit of girlish cuteness and coquettishness, "What...... Legend, again. β
"Finished practicing?" Su Qi closed the book, put a finger on Zhao Riyue's forehead, gently pushed her away, and glanced at Lu Celadon again, she carried the sword on her back, looked at him silently, and nodded.
"Then go down the mountain to eat!" Su Qi glanced at her strangely, patted his buttocks, and casually threw the book into the small wooden basket beside him, which already contained some wild vegetables and wild fruits.
Zhao Riyue cheered and picked up the small wooden basket and rushed down the mountain first.
Su Qi shook his head and smiled, and followed slowly along the mountain road, Lu Qingci walked beside him, without making a sound, and after a while, he secretly turned his head sideways, glanced at Su Qi, and when he turned his head, he quickly moved his gaze away.
After a few times in a row, Su Qi finally couldn't help it and asked, "What's wrong? Why is it a little weird today?"
Lu Celadon wanted to speak and stopped.
Looks like something is really wrong......
Su Qi took two quick steps, turned around, and stood opposite Lu Celadon, "Say it." β
Lu Celadon looked down at the tip of her shoe, looking cramped and uneasy, this is something that Su Qi rarely sees on her, and after being silent for a long time, Lu Celadon still opened her mouth with difficulty, "I...... I told the master, wait for another half a month......" She suddenly raised her head and stared at Su Qi, the meaning in her eyes was incomprehensible, "In another half a month, the swordsmanship of that girl in the sun and moon will be more proficient...... So I went out and practiced. β
Su Qi was stunned.
The first person he knew after coming to this world was the old man, and the second was Lu Celadon , the three of them walked together for a long time in the Eastern Wilderness, until they picked up Zhao Riyue, a little girl, and the sword qi in the old man's body could no longer be suppressed, before settling in Qishan, over the years, the two have been living together, he seems to have been used to her practicing swords, his study days, sometimes almost forgotten, she is a real monk, and a monk with a high talent in kendo, her future and life, far from a small chess mountain can accommodateγ
Su Qi laughed, he reached out and touched her head, just like he used to do when he first met, but soon she didn't allow it anymore, "Very good, go out and venture into the world, if you see something very powerful and peculiar, you must write back to me......!
Lu Qingci looked at him steadily, and suddenly smiled like a flower, "Okay." β
"Go down the mountain, I'll cook today!" Su Qi turned around and shouted at the figure in the distance, "Sun and Yue, I'm going to make something delicious today!"
A loud cheer came from afar.
"We ate very well that night, I made seven or eight dishes, the old man drank three jars of wine, and Zhao Riyue's girl also stole wine and drank, but she was so drunk that she couldn't look good, and it was Celadon who helped her back to the room. β
Su Qi turned his head and looked at a woman in a gray robe not far away, "These two things...... I remember it all very well. β
"That's why you see both of these things again when you cross that dividing line. The woman was sitting cross-legged, thin, wearing a smiley mask on her face, and when she crossed the dividing line, Su Qi instantly caught a glimpse of the past, and when she came back to her senses, she saw a woman sitting under the tree in front of her, she politely asked Su Qi to tell what she saw, but her tone was indifferent, and there was a kind of lofty momentum.
"Why?" Su Qi turned around, the snowy mountains were still clearly visible, but the white fox could no longer be seen.
"It's just a reminder of what was most important in your past life. The woman chuckled, "It's just a man's self-righteous assertion, and if I hadn't been able to do it, I wouldn't have allowed such superfluous things to appear." β
"Who the hell are you?" Su Qi asked, "Holy Terrace...... Do you have a relationship with Emperor Wanhua?".
"Wanhua ......" The woman's voice lowered, her tone was a little complicated, but she quickly returned to that unapproachable feeling, "It's a little related...... As for who I am?"
The woman gently took off her mask, and on her face, there was an extremely long knife mark, which slashed from the left eyebrow to the tip of her nose, tore to the corner of her mouth, and ruined most of her face, but even so, she could still see her former beauty, she touched the scar on her face, and smiled, "You still have a statue of me on your body." β
