Chapter Seventy-Nine: Senior Sister and Brother Chat Quietly at Night
"Two ways to divide the soldiers? Well, that's right, that's fine, don't delay. Vertex "
Chaolu didn't react at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he also felt that it made sense, so he said in approval.
"Yes, the two don't delay, we can retrieve the treasure safely, and it won't affect the treatment of the wounded, I think General Lin will escort the wounded soldiers, soldiers and the tribesmen of the Qiyan tribe back first, and Uncle Chao will lead 20,000 horses to dig up the treasure with us, what do you think?"
Mu Qianmei asked for the opinions of others.
"I think this is the best arrangement, set up camp here tonight, have a good night's rest, and leave early tomorrow morning."
Tana replied on behalf of everyone.
That night, after cleaning up the battlefield, everyone cleaned up the dead horses, chopped them into large pieces, and cooked them in a large cauldron, so that the soldiers could feast on the dry food.
Subsequently, soldiers killed in battle were registered for the payment of pensions.
For soldiers with military merits, they will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, promoted by those who should be promoted, and rewarded with rewards, and will be busy until late at night before falling asleep peacefully.
In the dead of night, Mu Qianmei was not sleepy, and quietly walked out of the tent alone, came to an empty lawn, and walked and meditated alone.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the breeze is blowing, it is a cool summer night.
Maybe it's because of the war just now, but I can't hear the noise of frogs and cicadas, and it's so quiet that it's a little weird.
Although Mu Qianmei, who has gone through two lifetimes, does not believe in ghosts and gods, she still feels a little inexplicably cold when she thinks of the mountains of corpses during the day.
There is still a strong smell of blood in the air, and it will probably take a long time to completely disappear!
Mu Qianmei didn't go far, came to a small hill, found a clean stone and sat down.
A person ponders alone, trying to clear out the myriad things in his head.
Suddenly, she heard a soft footstep sound, which woke Mu Qianmei from her contemplation.
On this grassland, only a person with an extremely sensitive ear like Mu Qianmei can hear it.
Of course, it is only in the dead of night that the slight footsteps will no longer seem silent.
Mu Qianmei didn't need to look back, she knew that it was Liu Tingfeng who came over.
After more than three years of getting along, everything is extremely familiar and cordial.
"Tingfeng, why haven't you slept?"
Mu Qianmei asked softly.
"I heard you come out, so I came over, what's wrong with you, senior sister? What are you thinking? ”
Liu Tingfeng replied softly, walked to Mu Qianmei's side gently, also found a stone to cushion, and sat down.
They sat quietly and did not speak for a long time.
Silence is better than sound at this point.
For them, there are a lot of things that need not be said, and in the process of getting along for a long time, they can know each other's general thoughts, and some feelings can only be understood and cannot be expressed.
After a long time, Mu Qianmei said leisurely:
"Tingfeng, you miss Master again, right? I know what you've been through during this time has been a little too cruel for you, are you feeling better now? ”
"I've understood a lot of things now, and some things have to be
Although I miss Master, I know that my eldest brother needs me, and you also need my help, and these things are all things that I have to face. ”
Liu Tingfeng said indifferently, and there was a slight sense of vicissitudes in his tone.
"Yes, your eldest brother's business, in fact, is your own business, you now know your life experience, but you don't know who your enemy is, since your eldest brother is unwilling to say it now, it must be because the other party's strength is too strong, with your current ability to take revenge, so he is unwilling to tell you. Otherwise, with him as a disciple of Tianjisuo, how could he endure until now? ”
"As for my side, although the current situation is still relatively grim, as long as we can take it step by step, go on cautiously, and don't make mistakes, when the situation slowly becomes clearer, our road will be easier."
"That day, I saw you fighting with the enemy to the death, it was really dangerous, I felt thrilled when I watched it from behind, worried that you would have any accidents, but fortunately, you actually broke through on the edge of life and death, and used the fourth sword of the sword technique with the wind, turning the danger into safety. I really hope that nothing like this will happen again, otherwise how can I have peace of mind? ”
Mu Qianmei said slowly.
"Actually, it was my inexperience with the enemy that day that I made that mistake, and it was a lesson for me. After all, the enemy is the enemy, even if he has a smile on his face and says nice things on his lips, he must not let his guard down, otherwise, a mistake may even take his life, but he will not even have a chance to regret it. ”
"When his last sword was unleashed, I was about to give up, because in that case I would have no way to draw my sword, and there would be no chance of escaping."
"That is, at the moment when I was about to give up, although there was still a lot of unwillingness in my heart, I also had a short moment of peace of mind, and I really wanted to face the moment of death, but I didn't feel that death was terrible."
"Between life and death, there is only a thin line of separation, and it was in the tranquility and calmness of that moment that I suddenly understood the sword intent of the fourth sword of the Suifeng Sword Technique, as if I was integrated with the surrounding air, everything was between my own thoughts, and I controlled and changed it as I wanted."
"Of course, at a critical time, there are still dozens of war horses that have bought me a short time to draw my sword, and without a sword in my hand, even if I realize the sword intent, I can't use it. It would be good if he reached the realm of the master, there was no need for a sword in his hand, and the sword intent would come out as he wished, and there would be no such situation. ”
"So speaking of which, it was still Senior Sister and Uncle Chao that day, you saved my life!"
Liu Tingfeng replied with great gratitude.
"At all times, we should take care of each other and go on, this is what the master repeatedly emphasized when we were about to go down the mountain, if it were me in that situation, you would definitely find a way to save me, wouldn't you? At that time, I wanted to join the battle circle, but I knew that my joining would not only not save you, but would distract you and accelerate your failure, so I finally thought of such a way, and at the last moment, I finally bought you a little bit of time to draw your sword, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable! ”
"The master should have reached the realm of having no sword in his hand and a sword in his heart when he was cultivating the fifth sword of the Suifeng Sword Technique, right? You're not far away, when you can cast the fifth sword of the Wind Sword Technique, you can no longer use the sword, wherever your mind goes, the sword will be everywhere, and with your talent, this day should not be far away. ”
Mu Qianmei said encouragingly.
"Breaking through the fourth sword and reaching the realm of the fifth sword, although it is only one step away, it is far more difficult than the first four swords, what is needed is the word 'enlightenment', if it is a coincidence, it may be able to break through soon, but it is also possible that it has not been able to comprehend, and it will be in the end
It can't be achieved in a lifetime. You also heard the master say that the power of this sword is by no means comparable to human power, I just want to go with the flow. It's your butterfly dance swordsmanship, I see that you've been worrying about trivial matters lately, and your progress seems to be slower. ”
Liu Tingfeng did not shy away from it, and said bluntly.
"Yes, my heart can't really calm down recently, practicing martial arts is a quiet state of mind, especially swordsmanship like ours, heavy sword intent and not pay attention to sword style, the state of mind is particularly important, and after this period of time is over, I must calm down and concentrate on cultivation, but I can't live up to the master's hard work."
Mu Qianmei also replied heartily with a guilty tone.
"By the way, Senior Sister, I slowly think back now, when we first met, you were only the same age as me, why did you learn so much knowledge? I feel that there is no one more knowledgeable than you in the beggar gang, who is your real teacher? ”
Liu Tingfeng finally asked a doubt in his heart.
"There must be my teacher in the threesome, in fact, everyone is my teacher, because everyone has their own strengths, and at that time I begged around with the old man and met countless masters. In fact, there are Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons on the rivers and lakes, strange people and strange people everywhere, and a lot of knowledge is naturally manifested in the unconscious laughter and scolding of others, which is just how to observe and comprehend. ”
"I am also a person who has experienced the edge of life and death, and I have also experienced the kind of tranquility and enlightenment before death you just said, and sometimes even I don't know how this knowledge is comprehended and accumulated, as you said, but just let it be."
Mu Qianmei replied speciously.
It's not that she doesn't want to tell her secret, but that she can't be believed when she says something like that, which makes people wonder if she's making up a story.
Some truths are told, but they cannot be proven, but they can be perceived as falsehoods.
Because her story is so bizarre, she can't even tell it herself, and she can't understand it.
Liu Tingfeng didn't think much about Mu Qianmei's statement, so he was convinced, and couldn't help but say with admiration:
"It's still a great senior sister, even if I have experienced life and death, and have had a moment of tranquility and enlightenment, but for these complex knowledge, I still don't have the comprehension ability of my senior sister, you teach me personally, I haven't been able to learn much, but you can learn it by your own observation at such a young age."
"Tingfeng don't be presumptuous, everyone's talents and specialties are different, although I look erudite, but I am not proficient in anything, you only specialize in one subject, but your realm is beyond my reach! You call me senior sister every day, and your swordsmanship is far higher than mine, but people who don't know think that my martial arts are higher than yours! ”
Mu Qianmei immediately explained and encouraged.
"I believe that if my senior sister is like me, she has been concentrating on learning swords since she was a child, and with her senior sister's talent, she will definitely be no less than me. I call you Senior Sister, which has nothing to do with martial arts, but because you know more knowledge than me, I admire you from the bottom of my heart. As for others who think that your martial arts are higher than mine, I think this is also a good thing, in the future, you will shoot less, and under normal circumstances, let me make a move, so that others don't know your depth, so they will not dare to do it with you, won't you be safer? ”
Liu Tingfeng suggested.
"Tingfeng, you have really changed, and now you know how to use the false and the real, and the real is difficult to distinguish between the real and the false to confuse the enemy! Hehe...... But it's a good thing, I'll try not to do it in the future, it's a good idea! ”
Mu Qianmei said with a smile in a joking tone.
