Chapter Seventy-Four: It's a Daughter (Part 2)
Sword Pavilion Disciple's Courtyard, in Shen Ling's room.
Duan Qingchen, like the previous people, was shocked by the entire wall of books in front of him.
"I really didn't expect that Brother Shen is still a proper reader. If you go down to the mortal world to take the exam, you will definitely be able to get a champion, right? He quipped.
"Duan Gongzi made fun of me." Shen Ling poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "In the mortal world, every dynasty and every generation is tested by the Eight Strands of Literature and Jingyi, but I don't have these two here, it's just some books of the ancients." ”
Duan Qingchen thanked the tea and tasted it, but his eyes did not leave the bookshelf.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he removed a biographical book from the shelf, which was not too old.
""Three Heroes Sword", is it the Three Swordsmen of Shushan?"
After turning a few pages at random, the names of several protagonists in the book, Broken Water Sword: Shui Mohan, Xuannu Sword: Duan Nishang, and Qingying Sword: Wan Zhongyang, are all people who are too familiar with me to be familiar with anymore.
Shen Ling secretly thought that he might be acting as a bookseller again, and said with a smile:
"Duan Gongzi has good eyesight, this book tells the story of the three swordsmen of Shushan who punish evil and promote good in the mortal world, and kill demons and demons. Although there are some exaggerated plots in it, it is generally in line with reality. ”
Duan Qingchen nodded, and suddenly pointed to one of the descriptions and smiled:
"It's a bit too much here, although my master Shui Mohan looks a little colder, it won't scare away children, right? And here, Shi Bowan Zhongyang is not so old... The most infuriating thing is here, my aunt and grandmother are written as angry little girls. ”
"Grandma? Hey, I didn't pay attention, Xuannu Sword Duan Nishang and Duan Gongzi are both surnamed Duan, and there is such a relationship between feelings? ”
The corners of Duan Qingchen's mouth are slightly upturned:
"Brother Shen, don't get me wrong, my aunt and grandmother look like they're in their early thirties, not an old lady..."
"I know, I know, the age of our immortal cultivators can't be seen from the appearance at all, then again, you are also the queen of the Yunzhou Duan Clan's Immortal Sect, how could you think of going to Shushan to do a sword cultivator?"
Shen Ling asked Duan Qingchen to sit down and said slowly.
"It's a long story..."Duan Qingchen lowered his head, not planning to hide it anymore, "First of all, I have to confess to you, actually... Actually, I'm a woman. ”
"Woman?!"
Shen Ling couldn't help but be shocked.
"You don't have to be so surprised, I pretend to be like this, and I also have a hard time..."
Duan Qingchen's voice returned to a female voice, which was particularly crisp and pleasant.
Shen Ling still couldn't believe it, was the record in the dream book wrong?
He thought about those words carefully, only to find that from beginning to end, the book did not disclose too much about Duan Qingchen's private affairs.
Even her past is a passing one.
The treatment of the supporting characters is really not very good, and they don't even want to write their genders to others?
Shen Ling sighed and said with a wry smile:
"I didn't expect my two brothers to be able to discern pearls. Brother Duan, oh no, Miss Duan, please continue..."
Duan Qingchen's face was slightly embarrassed, and he tried to recover his mind.
"Things have to start with the tragedy of the Duan Immortal Gate eighteen years ago..."
That year, the Duan Immortal Sect was electing a new family head.
In the infighting for the head of the family, Duan Qingchen's parents were unfortunately assassinated by foreigners, and at the same time, the crime was pressed on the heads of Duan's own people.
What was supposed to be a power struggle turned into a bloody killing of life and death.
After Duan Nishang, who was far away in Shushan, learned of the family crisis, he held the Xuannu Sword in his hand, calmed the infighting overnight, and peeled off the cocoon, found out the mastermind who killed Duan Qingchen's parents and stabbed them to death.
When the dust settled, after Duan Nishang became the head of the Duan family, he was worried that his infant granddaughter would be discriminated against and abused in the future, so he took her back to Shushan.
Duan Qingchen grew up in Shushan since he was a child, and he was always taken by his aunt and grandmother until he was eight years old.
But there is only one thing, that period of Nishang was afraid that her little granddaughter would also be bullied in Shushan, and wanted to train her tenacious character, so she always raised her as a boy.
This made Duan Qingchen's childhood often confused, and occasionally made some jokes, but it made the other disciples of Shushan feel even more different.
The second senior brother Shui Mohan really couldn't see it, and finally took the little junior sister behind his back and forcibly accepted Duan Qingchen as an apprentice, intending to let her return to the way a girl should be.
But this matter ended in failure, because Duan Qingchen's character had been cultivated, and he felt uncomfortable as soon as he put on the girl's clothes.
Therefore, in the end, Duan Qingchen's external identity can only be a male disciple of Shushan.
"Just because Master insisted on letting me restore my daughter's body, my aunt and grandmother have ignored Master for so many years, and both of them had the intention of being Taoist couples, but because of my reasons, they couldn't get back together for a long time, which... It's all my fault..."
Duan Qingchen's eyes were a little gloomy, more self-blame.
Under the brewing of emotions, the eyes are still red!
On the side, Shen Ling listened with great interest, because these plots were not described in the dream book at all.
In the final analysis, Duan Qingchen is just an ordinary "male partner" like himself, in short, it is a reference used to set off the chosen son.
Once the protagonist's strength is strong enough to crush these small characters, their lives will come to an end.
However, emotion is emotion, but you can't let Duan Qingchen cry so much that it will rain with pear blossoms, so that outsiders can see it?
I thought that the senior brother of the Sword Pavilion was bullying people!
Thinking of this, Shen Ling hurriedly smiled and persuaded him:
"Miss Duan doesn't have to be so sad, if the two of them have the fate to be Taoist couples, they are not afraid of this little episode, right? What's more, even if they become Taoist couples, according to the temperament of the two, there will be a gap, and it may be more serious than now. Rather than staying out of control at that time, it is better for the two to run in with each other now and find a tacit understanding. ”
"Found a tacit understanding?" Duan Qingchen suddenly regained his spirits, "Brother Shen's insights are really unique, which makes me stunned!" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear."
"Hmm... It seems that Brother Shen is very good at comforting people..."Duan Qingchen's mood improved.
"It certainly doesn't hurt to be optimistic." Shen Ling smiled, "By the way, I have read this "Three Heroes Sword" in your hand no less than three times, so I will give it to you." ”
"Send me? Brother Shen is really generous, so I'm welcome? ”
Duan Qingchen obviously couldn't put down this book, and since the other party offered to give it away, he didn't refuse, and immediately received it.
Shen Ling smiled:
"Miss Duan, just take a look, I don't have any rare items here, it's just some necessities."
"I think it's good, what we immortal cultivators want is a static word, and if there are too many things to worry about, it can only disturb the state of mind."
Duan Qingchen is heart is in a state of flux, although he is younger than Shen Ling, he has much more experience in cultivating immortals than him.
As soon as he mentioned the method of cultivating immortals, Shen Ling suddenly became interested, and asked the other party a few questions about cultivating immortals, but he didn't expect to answer them all.
After that, the two talked about a lot of opinions about sword cultivation, except for the exercises that were strictly forbidden to be passed on in this sect.
Before you know it, the sun is setting.
It was getting dark.
Since both of them had crossed the valley, they did not need to eat, and they did not realize that time had passed so fast until it was completely dark.
Outside the window, a bright moon shines brightly.
"It's so late, huh?"
Duan Qingchen had never said so much to anyone, and he couldn't believe it for a while.
After having an in-depth conversation with Shen Ling, he found that this person's understanding of kendo had surpassed his own, and some places were simply amazing!
This is not the sword cultivation attainment that should be in the foundation building period at all, could it be that he has any chance?
At this time, Shen Ling was still not tired, and lit the candle casually, and the room suddenly lit up.
"Why don't we talk at night?"
"That's what I mean, but... The journey is really tiring, but I am a little tired, I am really sorry Brother Shen..."
Duan Qingchen had a tired look on his face.
Shen Ling glanced at the bed:
"Miss Duan is still sleeping in bed, I'll go out and spend the night with my brothers..."
......
Old fritter: I have been entangled for a long time whether Duan Qingchen is a man or a woman, and according to the needs of the plot and the relationship between the characters, I decided to make her a woman. Don't worry if you have disappointed readers, there is a more suitable one later, touch your head.
