Chapter 17: The Unfinished Fight
In the pavilion by the lake, the maid puts all kinds of delicacies on the table one by one.
Chu Madnu has a big chicken leg in one hand and a wine bowl in the other, eats meat and drinks in a big bowl.
Lao Huang is the same, with chicken legs in one hand and a wine bowl in the other, eating happily.
Li Fei held the dish slowly and methodically, and his movements were gentle and elegant.
Xu Fengnian sat aside, didn't move, just looked at this, looked at that, and the whole person was in a trance.
The scene he saw today had too great an impact on him, and it directly affected his worldview.
He has grown so big, he has never seen such a "god" martial arts.
If he had known that martial arts training could reach this level, he would never have resisted martial arts training so much again.
Wei Shuyang and Nangong servants, one left and one right, leaned against the railing of the pavilion, without saying a word.
When the maid brought out a plate of steamed sea bass, Chu Madnu's face suddenly changed, with a disgusting look of eating flies, he wrinkled his face and waved his hand again and again: "Take it and take it." ”
Li Fei smiled at the maid and said, "You don't have to take it, let me go!" ”
The maid hurriedly moved the steamed sea bass to Li Fei, he took a chopstick and put it in his mouth, only to feel that it was fragrant and smooth, and his face showed an intoxicated look.
Lao Huang looked at Li Fei, pointed at Chu Madman and laughed: "I've eaten fish for more than ten years, hahahaha......"
Seeing this, Wei Shuyang yawned lazily and said, "Since you won't fight, then I'll go back to sleep." ”
After speaking, he saluted Xu Fengnian, who was still in a daze, and turned around and went to Tingchao Pavilion.
Xu Fengnian finally came back to his senses, turned around and shot at Nangong servant, "Do you want to come over and have some food?" ”
Nangong Servant glanced at Chu Madman and said, "I'll read the book." ”
"Oh."
After Nangong Servant shot and left with Wei Shuyang, Chu Madnu spoke: "Say, why did you let me out?" ”
Lao Huang leaned back, leaned on the railing, turned his head to look at Chu Madman and said, "The young master saved you, shouldn't you repay the favor?" ”
Chu Crazy Nu subconsciously retorted: "Fart, this kid let me go, at most I will be kind and not kill him, what kind of favor will I repay?" ”
Hearing his words, Li Fei paused the action.
Then he directly let go of the chopsticks, but the chopsticks floated above the table and did not fall.
With one hand, he pinched a sword trick in front of him at random, and a pair of chopsticks quickly differentiated, turning into dozens of chopsticks in an instant.
Li Fei stretched out his fingers, flicked them on those chopsticks casually, and pointed the head of the chopsticks in the direction of Chu Madman, and said lightly: "Then why let you out?" ”
Lao Huang also slapped his sword box and echoed: "If you don't repay the favor, I will beat you back to the bottom of the lake again." ”
Chu Madnu's face suddenly turned green, and there was even a little aggrieved in his eyes.
I've never seen anything like this, this is no longer a retribution, but force oppression, strong exploitation!
Xu Fengnian curiously stretched out his fingers and flicked those chopsticks, and he was surprised to find that these chopsticks were all real.
Chu Madman looked at this scene in a daze, and said: "Turning fiction into reality, even Li Chungang can't do it, who are you kid?" ”
Li Fei let go of the sword trick in his left hand, and dozens of chopsticks were fused back into a pair, which was copied by his right hand in his hand, and he sandwiched a piece of perch meat, and said in his mouth: "It has nothing to do with you." ”
Chu Madman turned his head angrily and bit the chicken leg in his hand fiercely.
A smile appeared on Lao Huang's face, and he said, "Don't worry, take your time, and tell us the answer after eating." ”
After Li Fei ate the fish with chopsticks, he sighed: "This fish is so fragrant, I guess I won't get tired of eating it for more than ten years." ”
Chu Mad's throat swelled, but Hao Xuan didn't spit it out.
The corners of Lao Huang's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Xu Fengnian in a daze, his attitude immediately changed, and he greeted warmly: "Young master, you have to eat this meat while it's hot, it's not delicious when it's cold, come on, come on, hehe......"
"Uh-oh." Xu Fengnian lifted the chopsticks in a daze, took a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, and didn't know if he could taste it.
……
Half an hour later, the delicacies on the table were swept away, and only a mess remained.
Lao Huang stroked his stomach comfortably, looked at Chu Madnu who was wiping his hands with his clothes, and asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”
Chu Crazy Nu glanced at him angrily, what the hell do you have to think about it?
Isn't it fragrant to eat him with this wine and delicacies? Who wants to nibble on raw fish for more than ten years?
He resigned himself to his fate: "How can you repay your kindness?" ”
Lao Huang said solemnly: "Stay in the mansion and protect the young master." ”
Chu Madnu frowned incomprehensibly and said, "With you and this little monster here, what do you want me to do?" ”
Lao Huang said: "I'll leave soon, Ah Fei is not known to the outside world now, he has to hide his hand, he usually won't make a move easily, before I come back, you will guard the young master for me." ”
Xu Fengnian, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "You want to leave?" ”
Lao Huang looked at him and smiled, "Let's go back and talk about it in detail." ”
Xu Fengnian looked at him in disbelief for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Lao Huang looked at Chu Crazy Nu again and asked, "Okay?" ”
Chu Crazy Nu didn't want to think so much now, and asked, "How long will you come back?" ”
Lao Huang said: "Two months at most." ”
Chu Mad's heart was relieved, the time was not long, this was acceptable.
However, he subconsciously looked at Li Fei, this little monster is a more terrifying existence than Jian Jiuhuang, if he doesn't speak, he really may not be able to go.
But I heard Li Fei say: "What Lao Huang said is counted by me, I have no opinion." ”
Lao Huang grinned at Li Fei, and there was a lot of closeness in his eyes.
With Li Fei here, he can really walk with peace of mind.
Seeing Li Fei's statement, Chu Madnu nodded to Lao Huang and said, "Okay, after two months, if you don't come back, Lao Tzu will also leave." ”
"Okay." Lao Huang lifted the wine jug and filled a glass to Chu Mad, and the matter was decided.
……
Sycamore Garden.
Xu Fengnian returned to the main room in a trance, sat down next to the brocade couch, and kept thinking about the question of where Lao Huang was going.
For some reason, he had some ominous premonitions.
Sweet Potato and Blue Bird looked at Xu Fengnian's distracted appearance, and they were a little unsure of what was wrong with him.
The parent bird went to bring the fried tea, and the sweet potato squatted in front of Xu Fengnian, and said softly: "The sweet potato took off his shoes for the prince, how comfortable is it in his own yard." ”
Xu Fengnian came back to his senses and subconsciously said, "I'll take it off by myself." ”
After a few years of frugal life, it will take some time to go back from frugality to luxury, and there must be a transition.
After listening to Xu Fengnian's words, the sweet potato smiled softly and said, "What's the use of us?" ”
Xu Fengnian didn't insist when he saw this, and let the sweet potato help him take off his boots, just now he was just a conditioned reflex.
He looked at the blue bird and said, "Blue bird, with Ah Fei and the old man at the bottom of the lake, you don't have to be a dead soldier, and you will be a maid for me in the future." ”
The blue bird's always cold and indifferent face softened a little.
The sweet potato on the side said with some taste: "The prince is really good to the blue bird." ”
Xu Fengnian said seriously: "You are the same, if you hide away from me when you encounter danger, no one in my courtyard is allowed to die in front of me." ”
Seeing Xu Fengnian suddenly tell them this seriously, the two girls couldn't help but be even more surprised, what's wrong with the son of the world today?
"Xu Shao."
Li Fei's voice came from outside the door, and Xu Fengnian shouted, "What's the matter?" Come in and say. ”
Xu Fengnian's main house, after the two sisters went out, except for himself and a few personal maids, no outsiders have ever entered.
Xu Xiao and Xu Longxiang will not enter his house if they are fine, he can let Li Fei into the house, which shows that he really does not treat Li Fei as an outsider.
Li Fei walked into the main room and asked Xu Fengnian, "Where is the mountain?" Why is it not in the room? ”
Blue Bird said: "General Chu has returned home, the injuries on his body are not in the way, the medicine can be changed every three days, I gave him some good medicine, he took it back and changed it himself." ”
"That's it! That's fine! ”
Xu Fengnian tilted his head towards the brocade couch next to him across a coffee table and said, "Sit." ”
Li Fei was not polite, walked to the edge of the brocade couch and sat down, and said to Xu Fengnian: "Lao Huang has something hidden in his heart, he suddenly wants to leave, I'm afraid it's not that simple, I'm a little worried." ”
Xu Fengnian frowned and said: "I also feel it, let's go to him in a while, if he doesn't make it clear, I won't let him go." ”
"Hmm."
……
When night fell, Xu Fengnian carried a bottle of aged flower carvings and followed Li Fei to the outside of the old yellow house.
At this time, the door was open, and I saw Lao Huang sitting at the desk, muttering something with his fingers.
"Old Huang...... Oh no, Huang Daxia. Xu Fengnian walked into the room, with a bit of compliment on his face, happily raised the wine bottle in his hand, and said, "Serve wine to the hero." ”
Li Fei turned over the teacup that was buckled on the table, put one in front of the person who was quick with his hands and feet, and Xu Fengnian immediately poured wine for Lao Huang diligently.
Xu Fengnian was about to say something, but he heard Lao Huang ask: "Young master, did we eat chicken with two eggs or three eggs that time?" ”
Xu Fengnian thought about it for a moment and said affirmatively: "Three." ”
Lao Huang nodded and said clearly: "I'll just say it's three." ”
Xu Fengnian pretended to be casual and asked, "Lao Huang, you said you were leaving this afternoon, where are you going?" ”
Lao Huang smiled at him and said, "I have to go to Longhu Mountain." ”
Xu Fengnian said in surprise: "The number one sect of the Liyang Dynasty, what are you doing there?" ”
Lao Huang said: "There are some old people, they want to go to the meeting for a while, and the meeting is over...... I need to go to Emperor Wu City. ”
Xu Fengnian was even more surprised, "Emperor Wu City of the East China Sea? What are you doing there? ”
Lao Huang picked up the wine glass and didn't drink, his voice began to be a little unsteady, "There is a fight that is halfway through, I have to finish the fight." ”
Li Fei looked at Lao Huang Dao with a look of sudden realization: "So the sword missing in your sword box was left in Emperor Wu City?" ”
Lao Huang nodded, looked at him and said, "That sword is called Huang Lu." ”
Xu Fengnian stared at Lao Huang and said, "You have been in the mansion since I beat me, when did you fight?" ”
Lao Huang sighed: "It's been almost thirty years." ”
Xu Fengnian suddenly nodded and said, "There was no me at that time!" ”
Lao Huang smiled: "Young master, do you want to hear Lao Huang's story?" ”
Xu Fengnian leaned on the edge of the table with interest and said, "You say." ”
Lao Huang rolled up his sleeves, cleared his throat, and slapped on the table with a full posture, looking like he was ready to tell a story.
But after filming "Shocking Wood", Lao Huang's momentum collapsed again, and he sneered: "It's actually quite simple." ”
"I was a swordsmith at the beginning, a forger, a forger, and suddenly one day I realized the way of the sword and became a swordsman."
Xu Fengnian was stunned and said, "This can also work?" ”
Lao Huang tilted his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Good luck, hehehe......"
Li Fei shook his head with a smile and said to Xu Fengnian: "This is not luck, there is such a kind of person in this world, who is extremely talented, and there is no one in ten thousand. ”
"They often have an epiphany by chance and can reach heights that many people can't reach in a lifetime."
"Obviously, Lao Huang is this kind of person."
Xu Fengnian couldn't help but roll his eyes when he looked at Lao Huang's twisted and pinched face full of shy virtue.
Then he looked at Li Fei and said, "What about you?" You should be one of those people, right? ”
Li Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Nine times out of ten, or I really can't figure out where I got this ability at a young age." ”
He raised his hand to Lao Huang and said, "Lao Huang, you go on, what happened after you realized the way of the sword?" ”
Lao Huang Dao: "After realizing the way of the sword, I began to travel the rivers and lakes, collecting the world's famous swords into my sword box, the world's top ten famous swords, and I have six in this sword box." ”
Speaking of this, Lao Huang's mood began to become depressed, "Later, I went to the East China Sea Martial Emperor City to challenge Wang Xianzhi, but I lost, so I left Huang Lu there." ”
Xu Fengnian said with relief: "If you lose, you will lose!" Who can win and never lose? ”
Lao Huang closed his eyes and sniffed.
At this moment, he was like a primary school student who had always had good grades but failed in the final exam, and choked up: "I knew I lost halfway through." ”
"I was very scared, afraid of death, afraid of defeat, so I fled."
Looking at Lao Huang's crying face, Xu Fengnian felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
Li Fei also sighed secretly in his heart, and it could be seen that Lao Huang was beaten by Wang Xianzhi at that time, and this situation could not be comforted.
Fortunately, he knew that Lao Huang didn't need comfort.
I only heard Lao Huang continue: "For several years after leaving Emperor Wu City, I had nightmares every day, dreaming that I was defeated by Wang Xianzhi and lost my life. ”
"Young Master, do you know why I came to Beiliang? Because Beiliang is far from the East China Sea. ”
"I've been hiding like a mouse, I don't dare to face Emperor Wu City, I don't dare to face Wang Xianzhi."
Speaking of this, he finally looked relieved, looked at Xu Fengnian and said, "I originally thought that this life would be like this, until I traveled with the young master for three years, I passed this level." ”
Xu Fengnian asked puzzledly: "What does it have to do with the past three years?" ”
Lao Huang said with admiration on his face: "Young master, you don't know martial arts, in the past three years, you haven't dodged, you haven't retreated, and you've never been afraid." ”
"Seeing the young master like this, I suddenly felt that I was not afraid of anything, failure, death, and that's it."
"I can finally face it, the Martial Emperor City that has been pressing on my chest for thirty years."
"I can finally face it, Wang Xianzhi in my heart."
After listening to Lao Huang's heartfelt words, Xu Fengnian and Li Fei were silent.
After a long time, Xu Fengnian looked at him and said slowly: "I won't stop you in this fight, but you will come back to me after the fight, the other people's roasted sweet potatoes are not as delicious as your roast." ”
Lao Huang said seriously: "I promised the young master that I would come back as soon as I finished fighting, and the first thing I did was to roast sweet potatoes for the young master." ”
Xu Fengnian didn't say anything else, just silently picked up the wine glass, Li Fei also raised his glass, and the three of them touched the glass and drank it all in one go.
After putting down the wine glass, Li Fei suddenly reached into his arms, took out a small porcelain bottle and put it in front of Lao Huang, and said, "Lao Huang, you put some blood into this bottle." ”
Lao Huang and Xu Fengnian both looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he meant.
Xu Fengnian asked, "What kind of work are you?" ”
Li Fei waved his hand and said: "It's not easy to say now, Lao Huang, you have to trust me, just bleed, you don't need too much, just a few drops." ”
Xu Fengnian said entangledly: "No, if you want people to bleed, there must be a reason, right?" ”
Li Fei said helplessly: "It's hard to say, I can't say it now, in short, it should be able to save my life." ”
Seeing what Xu Fengnian wanted to say, Lao Huang waved his hand and said, "It's okay young master, I believe Ah Fei is for my good." ”
After speaking, he picked up the porcelain bottle, pulled out the stopper, and pressed the fingernail of his thumb on the index finger, and the blood seeped out and dripped into the porcelain bottle.
After a few drops, Li Fei spoke: "It's enough." ”
Lao Huang withdrew his fingers, put them in his mouth and sucked them, and handed the porcelain bottle to Li Fei.
Li Fei stuffed the stopper, put it in his arms, and looked relieved.
Seeing this, Xu Fengnian muttered: "The gods are mysterious. ”
Li Fei smiled at him, and then asked Lao Huang: "Lao Huang, I understand that you went to Emperor Wu City to fight that unfinished fight, but what are you doing in Longhu Mountain?" ”
Lao Huang said: "Doing business, there is an old guy in Longhu Mountain, who has always wanted to test Wang Xianzhi's details, but he didn't dare to make a move at all." ”
"I'm going to fight with Wang Xianzhi now, isn't this just a deal?"
Xu Fengnian instantly understood, and said: "Even if this fight is going to be fought anyway, it's better to use the excuse that it's for that old guy to go to the bottom of Wang Xianzhi, and by the way, ask for something from Longhu Mountain?" ”
Lao Huang raised his hand and grabbed it in front of him, and said with a wicked smile: "Of course, the wild goose must pluck its feathers." ”
Xu Fengnian asked curiously, "What do you want?" ”
Lao Huang said with a smile: "Keep it secret, the young master will know in the future." ”
Xu Fengnian pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "Old guy, you also come to this set." ”
"Hey......
……
Lao Huang left, didn't take anything with him, just carried his sword box on his back and led the old horse.
It was already the end of winter when he left, and he soon entered the cold winter wax moon.
On the morning of Lao Huang's departure, Xu Fengnian began to practice the footwork of "Divine Journey of a Thousand Miles" with Li Fei.
Of course, there is also the so-called, the method of breathing and breathing in the sound of life.
Xu Fengnian had already learned the lullaby, and one morning, he successfully made all the maids in the Wutong Garden, except for the blue bird, fall asleep in an instant.
Of course, he didn't know that the girl Sweet Potato was pretending to be asleep, and Li Fei didn't demolish her.
Cultivating "Divine Journey for a Thousand Miles", the accumulation speed of true qi is really unsatisfactory.
However, it greatly enhanced Xu Fengnian's physique, and his physical agility was also improved.
But the method of breathing and breathing he cultivated, but the strength of his soul changed day by day.
At present, although he has not been able to exert any supernatural abilities, he also clearly feels that he has become deaf and clear-sighted, and his energy is becoming more and more vigorous day by day.
At night, you basically have to hum a lullaby to fall asleep, otherwise you won't feel tired even if you don't sleep for a day and a night.
After practicing like this for more than 20 days, Li Fei told Xu Fengnian that he could start trying to play the Sanskrit sound of Suo Ming.
