Chapter 574: Sprinkle wine and drink together
Shao Xi didn't continue to talk about this topic with Sun Poyun, this kind of thing still has to be figured out by himself after all, and others can only mention one or two.
The establishment of everyone's outlook on life is inevitably related to personal growth experience, and Shao Xi does not want to impose his own concept on others.
If he can be persuaded to follow him, it will naturally be the best, if Sun Poyun always insists on his current life, Shao Xi also feels that it is a matter of course.
Everything is planned by people, and everything is achieved by heaven, Shao Xi has never been willing to force it, and he just hopes that he can figure it out after saying so much to Sun Poyun today.
In fact, if you really let him follow you, it may not be much better than now, but at least you can do it without worrying about food and clothing, and you can think more about other things.
A person who is hungry and only thinks about how to survive is actually no different from a lone wolf wandering in this desert, Shao Xi just wants to pull this lone wolf into his own wolf pack.
Shao Xi turned his head to look at Sun Poyun and the ring-headed knife on his waist, and asked a little teasingly: "Brother Sun's knife doesn't seem to be anything special, with such an extremely ordinary looking knife walking inside and outside this Jade Dragon Pass for so many years, presumably Brother Sun's knife technique must have something unique, but I don't know what kind of knife technique Brother Sun is cultivating?" ”
Sun Poyun raised his hand and touched the ring-headed knife on his waist, and looked up into the distance, as if he was saying to Shao Xi, as if talking to himself.
"My parents died when I was still an infant, and I was raised by a swordsman who lived on bounties, and even my name of Sun Poyun was given to me by him, until now I don't know whether to call him master or father?
"In short, when I was very young, he taught me the knife technique and the means of survival, this knife technique has no name, it is the actual combat of his life, and it is not as dazzling and fancy as the sword techniques of the Central Plains martial arts, and all the moves are aimed at killing the enemy.
"Because in recent years, I have a little fame inside and outside this Jade Dragon Pass, and some peers on the rivers and lakes call me the Cloud Breaking Knife, so I call this knife method the Cloud Breaking Knife Method."
"Sun Poyun, Cloud Breaking Knife Technique, splitting the dust, cutting through the clouds, is indeed a good name, and it complements Brother Sun's name."
Sun Poyun smiled noncommittally, perhaps because he felt that what his sword technique was called didn't matter to him.
"I see that Shao Gongzi is also a martial arts cultivator, I don't know what kind of martial arts Shao Gongzi is practicing?"
Shao Xi was asked by Sun Poyun, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
The martial arts he has cultivated are really a bit much, and they are all famous martial arts masters in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and even Shao Xi doesn't know what kind of sect he is.
So he also replied casually: "The things I learned in Xia are too miscellaneous, and I really can't explain it clearly, but the weapons used in Xia are different from Brother Sun, and the sword used in Xia is Xia." ”
Sun Poyun nodded, not hiding his approval of Shao Xi.
"The sword is a gentleman's weapon, no wonder Shao Gongzi looks quite gentlemanly, it seems that the cultivation of this martial arts will indeed affect a person's bearing, unlike my bandit's full of anger, and there is such an ugly scar on my face."
As he spoke, Sun Poyun couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the scar on his face.
Although Shao Xi never asked him, he could guess that this was left behind when he walked in the Western Regions for many years and fought with others.
However, Shao Xi felt very curious that since ancient times, the knife was known as a killing weapon, and Sun Poyun seemed to be a person who had experienced a hundred battles of life and death, but there was no half of the murderous aura on his body, which was extremely rare.
It is said that with Sun Poyun's martial arts and his experience inside and outside the Jade Dragon Pass over the years, he should be an extremely murderous person.
Maybe because of his temperament, or maybe because of his original intention of cultivating sword techniques, Sun Poyun obviously didn't look like a person who loved to kill.
It may be that for him, the sword technique he cultivated was just a means for him to earn a living and protect himself, and he never really thought about taking the lives of others.
In that tavern during the day, Shao Xi saw that every time he made a move, he only clicked to the point, and never had the intention of hurting people's lives, maybe in his heart, the value of human lives was not as good as those bounties, and it was really not worth his trouble to take them.
"Brother Sun has ever killed someone?"
In fact, Shao Xi asked nonsense, but he didn't know why he still asked it, it seemed that he wanted to confirm something from Sun Poyun?
"If the ones I killed were human, they were."
Sun Poyun's words stunned Shao Xi, if you have killed someone, you have killed someone, and if you haven't killed someone, you haven't killed anyone, what does it mean to be a person?
"Oh? What did Brother Sun say? ”
"Shao Gongzi may not know that horse bandits are rampant in the vast Gobi Desert outside this pass, with dozens of people and hundreds of people, looting and killing people on this desert, like a vicious wolf.
"I don't know how many people's lives have been lost in their hands, and I don't know how many women from good families have been abused by them, if they are also human beings, I have indeed killed a lot."
Sun Poyun said plainly, without any waves in his tone, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
But Shao Xi understood why he didn't have a murderous aura on him at this time, because he didn't regard the horse bandits who died under his knife as human beings at all.
"Listening to Brother Sun's words, it seems that our journey out of the customs will not be smooth sailing, so we will inevitably encounter these horse bandits in Brother Sun's mouth."
Sun Poyun smiled, and smiled very brightly, I really couldn't understand why he reacted like this after hearing Shao Xi's words?
"It's good to get used to it, the Gobi Desert is long and yellow, and the road is long, if you don't have them, you will feel a little lonely."
Shao Xi listened, good guy! Is this a commonplace fight with horse bandits?
This not only proves that the Gobi Desert is extremely dangerous, but also proves why Sun Poyun is always so indifferent when encountering problems.
In the eyes of a man who licks blood with a knife all year round, this is indeed not surprising.
"Anyway, I still hope that this journey will be safe and sound, and I will arrive in Wuhai Country smoothly, and I will ask Brother Sun to take care of me along the way, and thank you in advance!"
"Since we are walking together, we should be like this! Shao Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, but he also reminds Shao Gongzi that if you encounter something in this desert, it is best to take self-protection first, be less nosy, and don't get into trouble. ”
Shao Xi naturally understood what Sun Poyun said about what he encountered, as long as the horse bandits didn't rob his head, no matter what happened in front of him, he didn't have the idea of acting chivalrous.
Because no matter whether you manage this idle matter or not, you will end up drowning in this long yellow sand, and no one will remember you, let alone what you have done here.
Keeping your life and getting out of the desert is the most important thing, and although it sounds a little cold-blooded and cruel, this is the law of survival here.
Shao Xi drank the last bit of wine in the altar, got up and bowed his hand to Sun Poyun.
"Thank you Brother Sun for reminding us, we are going to leave tomorrow, Brother Sun will also rest early, sleep in the open on the way, and I don't know when it will be when I will drink with Brother Sun next time."
Sun Poyun also drank his wine jar dry, and also got up and returned the salute.
"There is wine today and drunk today, why worry about when the next time is, if there is still life at that time, you and I should drink together, if someone is not there, the wine is sprinkled with yellow sand is also a drink."
Sun Poyun's life and death are downplayed, and Shao Xi admires Shao Xi's style of life and death and doing it if he is not satisfied.
As he said, drinking has nothing to do with when or in what form.
Wine sprinkled with yellow sand is also drunk
Why don't you invite each other to come
The two of them went back to their rooms to rest, and when they passed by Sun Poyun's room, Shao Xi was secretly curious that Sun Poyun and Na Alia lived in the same room alone, he didn't mind, didn't Alia mind?
And what has always made Shao Xi feel a little strange is that this Aliya was unwilling to return to Wuhai Country with Sun Poyun, but she never made any noise, but she just looked for an opportunity to slip away, and always maintained the elegant demeanor that a woman should have.
This made Shao Xi a little interested in her identity, what kind of family of a wealthy merchant in the Western Regions could raise such a rebellious and dignified daughter?
Early the next morning.
As soon as the sky was shining, the caravan had already begun to pack up and prepare to leave the Jade Dragon Pass and leave the customs for the Western Regions.
As long as you get out of this Jade Dragon Pass, you will leave the border of the Jingyuan Empire, and when you get there, Shao Xi's identity in the Jingyuan Empire will be useless.
In that desert Gobi, Shao Xi, like all ordinary people, is just a drop in the ocean in the desert.
Therefore, Shao Xi sorted out all the items related to his identity and stored them separately the night before, and these things could not be lost.
If it is lost, it will be a big trouble after returning to the Jingyuan Empire in the future.
After finishing the packing, Shao Xi climbed on the camel, hung the Yingxue sword at hand, and took Lao Wu and the others to the pass of the Jade Dragon Pass with the caravan.
This is the only dangerous place to enter and exit the Jade Dragon Pass, all the caravans and travelers from the Central Plains and the Western Regions want to enter and exit the Jade Dragon Pass, and they must pass through here to travel between the Western Regions and the Jingyuan Empire, so there will be heavy troops guarding here.
This place can be said to be a husband and wife, and it is impossible to open it.
When the caravan reached the pass, they saw a group of people coming to them in front of them, and when they walked to the front, Shao Xi saw that the person who came was Zhao Changsheng.
When they met, they both turned over and got off their respective mounts and saluted each other.
Zhao Changsheng arched his hand and said: "Lord Shao has a long way to go, the old man has come to see him off, I hope Lord Shao cherishes all the way, the old man wishes Lord Shao a smooth sailing on this road, no thrills and no dangers!" ”
Shao Xi also replied: "The general has a heart, I don't know when I will see you again this time, and when I return to Kyoto, the officials of Daliang will definitely visit the door and ask the general for advice on the art of war." ”
After the two said goodbye, the caravan set off again, slowly marching out of the Jade Dragon Pass, heading towards the endless Gobi Desert ahead.
