Volume 1 The Scholar and the Sword Chapter 25 The First Snow
The next day, Qin Zi put on his little padded jacket and ran to the top of the mountain early in the morning to watch the sunrise.
Now it's almost winter, and the sunrise view is actually not so good, but it doesn't matter, what Qin Zi wants to do is the tradition of the Qin family, and face the sun to introspect every day when conditions permit.
Father Qin Zhengyang can be said to be a person who lives up to his name, with a pure heart and uprightness. Qin Zi often listened to his teachings when he was young, to be an upright and kind person, and the tradition of watching the sun every day and introspective is actually to teach him to turn his heart to the light and not to be swallowed up by the desires and darkness in his heart.
Of course, for Qin Zi, this habit is more important to summarize the gains and losses of his behavior, so he has always maintained the habit of introspection, and running here in the morning is actually an inexplicable sense of ritual at work.
……
In the distance, the rising sun slowly dyed the clouds on the horizon, and slowly sprinkled the sunlight on the boy's soft face, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
Sunrise is always different from sunset, although the scenery looks somewhat similar, but even in winter, he can feel that the sunrise seems to have a special vitality, and the darkness in people's hearts slowly dissipates.
When the warm winter sun completely rose, he also opened his eyes and showed a smile like the warm winter sun.
At this moment, he himself seems to be the warm sun of a winter morning, making people feel warm, full of sunshine and hope.
……
After the introspection was over, Qin Zi looked into the distance and said in his mouth:
"It's going to change......"
In the distance, the clouds dyed golden red by the sunrise slowly recovered, and turned into a slightly gray cloud......
Qin Zi didn't care, took out the book and started reading in the morning.
What he read was not a classic of cultivating immortals, but a most ordinary Confucian classic. This is one of the few books that my father had chosen to read for his enlightenment, and now he was about to turn it over, and he had already memorized the contents of it, but he still used to take it out and read it every morning.
By the time he had read all the books aloud, the sun had risen quite high, and the gray clouds had come a little closer.
He jumped down from the stone, and waved his sleeves handsomely, imitating an imaginary martial arts master.
It's a pity that he wears a padded jacket, so although he is relatively thin, he looks a little round now, and he doesn't have a master's demeanor at all.
But he couldn't see it himself, and he felt quite satisfied, and he had to give a third class to that action just now, well, maybe he had a second class.
Thinking of this, he felt a lot happier again, and jumped up and ran towards the bottom of the mountain.
……
Halfway through, I actually met Aunt Ning, whom I hadn't seen for a few days.
Ning Muxue's house was a little taller than Qin Zi's and Xiao Yuan'er's, so she should be on her way back to the house now.
In fact, it is true, after Ning Muxue settled Qin Zi, she felt that her mood was much better, and she thought that there were still a bunch of affairs to deal with at the outer door, so she simply lived in the office hall for a few days and finished the affairs overnight.
In fact, there will not be too many affairs in a mountain sect like this, although there will be more affairs in the outer gate, but in fact, there are not many, after all, the people on the mountain are always separated from the mountain, and the affairs on the mountain are even less, after all, the mainstream atmosphere in the immortal cultivation world is still Qing cultivation, and there are not many treasures in the secret realm.
However, in recent years, the situation outside has been somewhat complicated, and Buddhism has begun to rise in the west, with a tendency to expand abroad; Some small continent demon clans are also more active and want to make more resources; On the side of the Jixia School Palace in the Central Domain Shenzhou, hundreds of schools of thought were arguing fiercely...... It was like an appointment, and a whole bunch of things suddenly popped up together.
Although the Luojian Sect advocates Qing cultivation, it is not isolated from the world, it is still the top sect, and there are always a lot of related affairs, although not all of them have to be handled by Ning Muxue alone, but they are still very busy, so that she has not rested at all in the past few days, and now she is finally a little free, and decided to come back to see the two children.
On the other side, when Qin Zi saw Ning Muxue, he had a strange feeling.
In fact, in the past, he could realize that his aunt was very beautiful, but since he saw Xiao Yuan'er before, he felt that his mentality had changed, and now he can actually perceive these beauties even more.
In fact, this truth is very simple, many people don't recognize their faces when they look at people. These people will naturally recognize each other when they see each other directly, but when they really ask him to recall what the other person looks like, he has no impression at all.
Qin Zi used to be like this, so although he knew that Aunt Ning was very beautiful, it was just such an impression, as for where was the specific beauty? Completely unknowing.
But now that his mentality has changed, it will be different, and when he looks at Aunt Ning again, he feels different.
In fact, although Aunt Ning is almost thirty years old, she looks exactly eighteen years old, after all, the Jindan period can turn against the child's face, Ning Muxue is now a baby, thirty years is nothing at all, how can she leave traces.
But Aunt Ning is different from ordinary eighteen-year-old girls.
First of all, she's in better shape, ahem, well, this doesn't count.
Aunt Ning has spent most of her life in the mountains, so in fact, her mentality is similar to that of a girl, in fact, many people on the mountain are like this, but Aunt Ning is not just a girl.
Maybe when her master was still there a few years ago, and she was still a girl who only knew how to cultivate, she was naturally no different from a girl. But in the past few years, she has been through a lot. First of all, the master's life-ending sitting, and then his perfect baby was selected as the elder of the outer gate, and later his sister and brother-in-law were killed, leaving only his nephew Qin Zi alone.
Any one of these things is enough for a girl to grow up, let alone encounter them one after another.
Therefore, Ning Muxue now has a very strange temperament, which is a temperament that mixes the purity of a girl with the maturity of a woman. Coupled with her coldness, these two temperaments do not conflict with her at all, but seem to be extremely harmonious, as if she should be like this.
Qin Zi didn't care about these before, but now he can clearly feel that this is not to say that he has different emotions for his aunt, but simply a strange psychology for the opposite sex.
Therefore, the moment Qin Zi saw Aunt Ning, he was unconsciously a little shy, and hurriedly saluted in disguise:
"Ning, Aunt Ning is good!"
This scene was naturally seen by Ning Muxue. Seeing the current posture of this child who always likes to pretend to be mature, Ning Muxue suddenly felt in a good mood, and laughed happily:
"Hey, Ah Zi is going to grow up now, and he will marry a daughter-in-law in a few years, so hurry up!"
Qin Zi's face was red when she said it, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to gnaw.
Fortunately, Ning Muxue didn't continue to tease him, stepped forward and took Qin Zi's hand, and said softly:
"Okay, no kidding, Aunt Ning is still young and doesn't want to bring you a child now, so the daughter-in-law's matter is still postponed for a few more years, now go to Aunt Ning's first, I brought you some small things."
Qin Zi was held by her, a little shy, but she didn't let go.
Aunt Ning usually looks a little cold, but she is really gentle to him, and now she is holding her hand, feeling warm, just like once holding her mother's hand, so that Qin Zi is reluctant to let go.
He followed Aunt Ning's steps and slowly walked towards his cabin.
Gradually, his eyes were a little blurry, and Aunt Ning's curvaceous back slowly overlapped with a familiar back in his memory, which was a beautiful woman named Ning Yunzhu, his mother.
He had seen the scene in his dreams many times, so he knew exactly what was going to happen next.
Ning Yunzhu took Qin Zi's hand and walked in front, but to Qin Zi, the distance between the two seemed to be far, far away.
He saw that in front of his mother, there was an abyssal darkness, and he wanted to scream, but he couldn't, so he could only watch Ning Yunzhu walk towards the darkness.
He clenched that hand tightly, but he couldn't stop the darkness from devouring it, and it seemed that his mother herself wanted to go into the darkness.
In reality, Ning Muxue was startled by his appearance, and turned her head to see Ah Zi's face full of helplessness and despair.
Her heart twitched, she would turn around, walk to Qin Zi's side, hug him tightly, and said in his ear:
"I've always been there for you."
In the illusion, Qin Zi saw his mother hugging him, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to hug him, and then, he heard a whisper in his ear:
"I've always been there for you."
Then, the mother's figure gradually dissipated.
He took a deep breath, his expression returned to his usual indifference, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, maybe the smile was still a little unnatural, but his eyes became more and more determined.
He opened his eyes and saw Aunt Ning's distressed expression.
……
Ning Muxue's room was not far from here, and it didn't take long to arrive.
When I entered the house, I saw that Xiao Iri'er was also there, Qin Zi obediently called "Sister Iris" and didn't speak. This frightened our strange woman a lot, and she stayed aside, bowing her head and not daring to respond.
"Okay, you pay attention next time, just don't bully Ah Zi, he is two years younger than you, you let him order."
Xiao Yuan'er nodded like pounding garlic, and hurriedly said: "I know, I didn't bully Ah Zi, I also gave him my baby!" ”
Ning Muxue didn't ask her what she gave, mainly because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stop if she asked, so she pulled Qin Zi to the table.
There were several things on the table, the same was a cyan caftan with white stripes on it, which looked simple and beautiful.
"This is the clothes prepared for you, it is a Xuan-level magic robe, it is not particularly precious, but fortunately, it can adjust the temperature and isolate the dirt, so you don't have to wear a cotton jacket in the future, oh yes, this material can improve the quality according to the improvement of your cultivation, it can be regarded as a little useful."
As she spoke, she smiled and pointed to the padded jacket on Qin Zi's body, and Qin Zi's face was flushed.
The other one was a sword, which looked no different from Ling Qiuheng's.
"I heard Qiu Heng say that you also like swords, this is very good, I got one for you, it's not a magic sword, it's just an ordinary mortal weapon, at most, the material is better, it's not easy to damage, your cultivation is low now, it's not suitable to take too good."
After saying that, she pointed to a token on the table and said:
"This token is useless, mainly proof of identity, but if you encounter danger, you can activate it by injecting aura into the token, and you can block the three strikes of Jindan, it's useless, the main thing is that I can sense it after activation, and it's barely life-saving."
Anyway, you are on the mountain now, and when you have to go down the mountain later, Aunt Ning will give you a better one. ”
Then, pointing to the rest of the one, she said with some seriousness:
"This last thing is the most important, listen carefully!
Ah Zi, you are different from me, you are a scholar, my brother-in-law used to tell me that a gentleman wants jade, so I prepared this jade pendant for you, you will take it well in the future, don't forget what your brother-in-law taught you before! ”
After speaking, seeing Qin Zi listening attentively, he eased his tone again and said with a smile:
"Well, this jade pendant itself is nothing, mainly symbolic.
But the bag you had before, the space inside is too small, don't use it, this jade pendant can also be stored, and the space is a little larger than that bag. ”
……
After waiting for a while, Ning Muxue had been walking away with Xiao Yuan'er for a while, and Qin Zi reacted.
Looking at the few things on the table, Qin Zi was still a little unacceptable, and couldn't help muttering to himself:
"Is this a small thing?"
Randomly, he smiled and shook his head again, he was on the tip of the horns, although these things are more precious, but they are not necessarily too precious for Aunt Ning.
After thinking about it, it happened that the clothes on his body were already sweaty, and now he still felt a little cold, so he took the things on the table and entered the house.
After taking a bath, Qin Zi put on new clothes, well, Aunt Ning wants to send it Of course, it is impossible to send only one gown, and there are other matching linings in it.
After looking at the mirror for a while, I thought it was pretty good, the clothes could naturally be resized, and now they fit very well.
The jade pendant was hung on his waist, it looked very ordinary, the texture was not as good as he imagined, and there was no too exquisite carving, Qin Zi knew that he needed to raise jade by himself.
It's not good to hang a long sword on your waist, after all, the sword is too long, and your size is not enough.
looked up and down his whole body carefully in the mirror, well, it looked like a little gentleman who was as warm as jade. Qin Zi is still very confident in his own skin.
After another stinky and beautiful careful dressing, Qin Zi finally went out.
Now that the sky outside has completely overcast, he looks at the scenery outside, from here he can see the scene of most of the mountains, no matter how many times he looks at it, he feels delicate and full of charm.
However, Qin Zi did not carefully appreciate the beautiful scenery of the mountains now, but savored the bits and pieces of Aunt Ning's treatment of him.
From the bottom of her heart, Aunt Ning is really good to herself, not much worse than her mother.
Thinking that Aunt Ning didn't forget to take care of himself before leaving, he thought of his mother again, and his heart was warm. He felt that it would be good if he could stay on Luojian Mountain all the time, at least the people he saw now were very good, even the sect master who had never been masked, and he couldn't hate it when he thought of the good atmosphere in the sect.
However, he actually knew in his heart that some things had to be done by someone, maybe himself, maybe someone else......
Suddenly, he felt a chill in his nose and looked up at the sky.
"It's snowing, it's the first snow of the year!"
PS: I naturally know that my writing level is average, but readers can have fun by themselves.
Just think, if, I mean if, if Qin Zi maintains the habit of introspection, part of the reason is because he knows that Lu Shui is observing his character, then will you find this character a little more interesting?
Besides, the main plot of this chapter is actually Ning Muxue's true feelings, which helped Qin Zi untie a knot, and it can even be said to be a future demon.
We can foresee,This heart demon will appear in the future if it doesn't appear now.,Many novels like the plot of the whole male protagonist breaking the heart demon in the future.,Maybe it's still very reluctant.,If it's not a fluke XXX.,This time it's going to be XXX or something like that.。
But when I wrote this book, I thought that the protagonist of this book should try his best to be exhaustive, and this book is not invincible, but it must be half invincible.
In this way, let's look at this plot again, the male protagonist encountered a demon some time ago, and he couldn't get over it, after introspection today, he thought of a way to use Aunt Ning's family affection to help him get through this difficulty in his heart in advance.
By the way, none of these can be regarded as calculating Ning Muxue, because there are strict standards in his heart, which will be talked about later.
