The beauty of the midsummer night intoxicated the girl surnamed Zhao.

Until Chen Ning walked to the bank of the stream, raised his boots and shouted, "Lord Zhao, what are you looking at?" ”

Zhao Mingyue suddenly came back to her senses, her bright eyes flashed with strange colors, and she looked at Chen Ning.

The last time I watched the scenery with Master on a summer night was many years ago, when she was still very young, and she couldn't remember exactly what the scenery was, but she remembered it and was very happy at that time.

It is one of the happiest times in the past ten years.

"It's coming!"

Zhao Mingyue stepped on the starlight stream, trotted to Chen Ning's side, and said with a smile: "The scenery tonight is very beautiful, this girl is very satisfied, I take back my previous evaluation of your Qingxi County." ”

"Really? That's good. ”

Chen Ning sat on the shore, waiting for the stream to dry at his feet.

"You are the one who accompanies this girl to see the scenery tonight, you make this girl very happy, what do you want this girl to do, just say, I can grant you a request."

Zhao Mingyue found a piece of clean grass and sat down, looking at the stream and starlight, sparkling.

"It's a great honor for me to be happy, how can I ask for anything in return?"

Chen Ning lay down casually, looked at the vast starry sky, and muttered: "Sometimes, I also think it's good to be like this, and I don't have to go through the trouble to find my way home." ”

"What did you say?"

Zhao Mingyue didn't hear clearly, probably because she didn't understand it very well.

"Nothing, two words of nonsense."

Chen Ning responded lightly, put his arms under his head, and said with a bold smile: "It's rare to steal half a day!" Rare! It's very rare! Lord Zhao still looks at the night scene, and he will be busy in the days to come, but he will not have such leisure time. ”

Zhao Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said with a smile: "Fusheng steals half a day of leisure, this sentence is a good mood." ”

Chen Ning didn't make a sound, staring at the starry sky in a daze, as if he could see the most beautiful scenery in the world from the stars.

Zhao Mingyue didn't say anything more, her eyes fell on Chen Ning's waist, and she saw that the horizontal knife, which was broken to almost the hilt, was pinned to Chen Ning's waist.

The scabbard was empty.

"Your knife is broken."

Zhao Mingyue was also sitting on her back, but at this moment, she suddenly got up and frowned.

"When I was fighting with that mountain dog, I blocked it with a palm, but if I didn't block it, it broke."

Chen Ningfeng said lightly.

Zhao Mingyue was quite surprised, "You really took the palm of the mountain guard?" ”

"How can this be fake?"

Chen Ning took out the short knife on his waist and sighed, "It's a pity that this knife was given to Chen Jiawang by Lord Xiang, and now that it's broken, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to explain it to Chen Jiawang." ”

At this moment, Zhao Mingyue believed that Chen Ning had really fought with the mountain dog, and his eyes were even more surprised.

She was silent for a moment, her eyes flashing, as if thinking something, "How can a martial artist not have a weapon?" I have a knife here that I used before, but now it's not very useful except for nostalgia for that time, so I'll give it to you. ”

As she spoke, she volleyed a little in the air, and a small purse appeared in the air.

The purse was exquisite, embroidered with golden lines, and it grew with the wind, and it was already the size of a human head in a moment, Zhao Mingyue reached in and took out a silver long knife.

"Well, I've got you."

She casually threw the long knife to Chen Ning.

Chen Ning got up to catch it, glanced at Zhao Mingyue in surprise, and then looked down at the long knife in his hand.

This knife is still a horizontal knife style, but the handle is much longer, longer than an ordinary horizontal knife, and the blade is also long, more than three and a half feet.

The blade is simple, there is no pattern, and the handguard of the handle is a round and a half moon.

Sonorous bang.

The long silver knife came out of its sheath, glowing coldly in the moonlight, clearer and brighter than the moonlight.

The knife is very sharp, it is a rare superb long knife, and it is more than one percent better than Chen Ning's saber.

There are two words engraved on the knife - Haoyue.

"Good knives!"

Chen Ning's fingers lightly swiped over the blade, just touching the edge of the blade, he could feel the sharpness of the blade, as well as the murderous aura hidden on the knife.

"Although this Haoyue is not a famous sword, it is more reasonable than ordinary blades, and it is enough for you to use it for a long time."

Zhao Mingyue glanced at Haoyue, and a touch of tenderness flashed in her eyes, "In the future, you have to treat it well, don't break it again." ”

"Lord Zhao, I can't help this knife."

Chen Ning sighed, put away the Haoyue knife, and handed it back to Zhao Mingyue.

"What? Can't afford it? ”

Zhao Mingyuexiu's eyebrows furrowed, a little unhappy.

"That's not it, the knife is a good knife, but it's too expensive for me to bear."

Chen Ning responded.

"What can't you stand it?"

Zhao Mingyue snorted lightly, "I like the pebble you gave to this girl before, this Haoyue knife is a return gift, you must accept it." Besides, there is no reason to take back the things that this girl gave out, and no one dares not to accept them. ”

In fact, this Miss Zhao did not receive any decent gifts, let alone return the gifts.

Today's exchange of gifts between the two is the first time in her life.

"If you dare not accept it, don't blame this girl for turning her face!"

Zhao Mingyue glared at her big watery eyes again, pretending to be fierce.

"Since Lord Zhao said so, Chen Ning has thanked Lord Zhao."

Chen Ning saw her stubborn appearance, so he could only smile awkwardly and accept Haoyue.

"I have a chance another day, and thank you Lord Zhao for the gift of the knife."

"That's right!"

Zhao Mingyue smiled toothlessly, "But I have to remind you that Haoyue will be brilliant after it changes hands, and if you want it to show its strength, you have to work hard yourself." ”

"Meng Hui? What do you mean? ”

Chen Ning was stunned for a moment and asked.

Zhao Mingyue Nunu mouthed, "You can draw the knife and take a look." ”

When Chen Ning heard this, he pulled out Haoyue again, only to find that the blade that was just bright began to dim and gray when he didn't know when, and he couldn't see the sharp appearance of Fang Cai at all.

Not only the light of the blade, but also the sharpness of the blade seems to have really taken holds.

"The bright moon is bright, see the Lord and get the light!"

Zhao Mingyue said proudly: "Haoyue only has the stronger the master, the sharper it will be, exuding its brilliance, don't embarrass me, turn around and keep Haoyue this gray and ugly appearance." ”

"Understood."

Chen Ning put away the Haoyue long knife and said with a smile: "Miss Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely not let the pearl be dusted." ”

"Alright, let's go back and dry your stinky feet."

Zhao Mingyue was very happy, got up with a smile, patted the dust on her body, and turned around and walked back towards Qingxi County.

"Lord Zhao, wait a minute, I'll come!"

Chen Ning hurriedly put on his boots and followed.

The two were unhurried and walked all the way back to the city, but when they were at the east gate, they met Shi Hai's master and apprentice again.

Two monks, one big and one small, covered the stars and chased the moon, and headed out of the city.

When the two people passed shoulders, Chen Ning was quite surprised and asked, "Little Master Xuanxin, are you preparing to leave Qingxi County with Master?" ”

When he said this, he was actually a little happy in his heart.

"Master Chen, meet again."

The little monk Xuanxin recited a Buddha name and said, "That's not it, the little monk and the master have been searching in the city for many days to no avail, and they are going to go out of the city to see." ”

"Out of town?"

Chen Ning subconsciously glanced at the direction of Wangding Mountain, and said lightly: "Those two should be careful, the barren mountains and mountains outside the city are not very safe." ”

"Thank you for your concern, my master and apprentice often travel at night, and they will be fine."

The little monk of Xuanxin said with a smile, those golden eyes were gentle, containing a strange affinity.

Chen Ning nodded to the old monk Shihai again, didn't think about communicating with the master and apprentice too much, turned around and walked into the city.

And the two masters and apprentices of Xuanxin watched the two leave.

Xuan Xin said: "Master, that female benefactor is extraordinary, and she seems to be a person in my channel, but her breath is too weak, and she always feels that it doesn't match the sharp energy on her body." ”

"This girl should be a disciple of the Legalists, and she has used the unique secret technique of the Legalists' practice, the technique of suppressing the realm."

The old monk Shi Hai's eyes were blazing, and he said in a deep voice: "The Legalist is domineering and murderous, and the so-called is not broken and cannot stand, so when the disciple's cultivation reaches the bottleneck, he will let the disciple forcibly suppress the realm, and only rely on his weak cultivation to win more opportunities for life and death to fight for life, in order to break through the realm." ”

"And such secret arts?"

The little monk Xuanxin's golden eyes flickered, and he exclaimed: "There are three thousand avenues, each with its own strange edge. ”

"This little friend of the Legalist is not low in cultivation, if she doesn't suppress the realm, she will not be her opponent if she only cultivates for you."

The old monk Shi Hai retracted his gaze and looked in the direction of Guangding Mountain, "Okay, disciple, let's go to that mountain to see what happened to the vision before." Perhaps, Toad Wujian has escaped from Qingxi County and fled far away. ”

"Yes, Master."

The master and apprentice set off again, heading in the direction of Guangding Mountain.

……

In the city, the lights are bright, and the streets are more lively on a summer night than during the day.

The eastern part of the city does not seem to have been affected much by the bloodshed, with a lot of pedestrians and a constant stream of street visitors.

Zhao Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, looked back at the figure of Xuanxin's master and apprentice leaving, as if she was thinking about something, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"What does Lord Zhao think, so drunk?"

Chen Ning laughed and said, "Isn't it that the beautiful scenery outside the city fascinates you and you forget to return?" ”

"That's not it, it's good to remember the beautiful scenery in your heart, and you don't have to linger."

Zhao Mingyue said lightly: "I was looking at the eyes of the little monk, a little strange, remembering that the master told me that Buddhism has a Buddha, born with a different talent, and has been with a Buddha since birth."

Look at the little monk, he is not very old, his ears are thick and low, and his eyes are like Buddhas, and he is likely to be the rumored Buddha. ”

"Buddha?"

Chen Ning also became interested and listened quietly.

Zhao Mingyue continued: "Buddhism has a Buddha, Taoism has a natural Dao species, our Legalists have the blessing of heaven, and the Mo family has the reincarnation of a giant, each of which is a genius in ten million, the identity of the Buddha is unusual, and the origin of the little monk should not be simple."

However, these have nothing to do with my Great Qin Heavenly Dynasty, since his Buddhism was rejected from entering the Dynasty, the Buddhist family is destined to be unable to make a difference in my Great Qin, this Buddha is estimated to be just wandering away from the world, gaining a long insight, and opening the Buddha's heart, right? ”

As she spoke, she turned her head and said with a smile: "You little catcher, it seems that you have a good relationship with that little monk, although the Buddhist family has no status in my Daqin, but you have a good relationship, if you go out of Daqin one day, maybe he can also help." ”

Chen Ning smiled, "I have a similar temperament and temperament when I interact with people, so I don't want anything in return, but I just feel that the little master Xuanxin is kind and kind-hearted, and he is a good monk, so he can make friends." ”

He took the opportunity to change the topic, "Lord Zhao has said so much, but Confucianism has no natural talents, why is this?" ”

"Confucianism?"

Zhao Mingyue wrinkled Xiao Qiong's nose and said in a deep voice: "Only Confucianism doesn't believe in talent, it's not that there are no geniuses and glamorous people, it's just that they never treat them specially, maybe those guys who read books only have articles in their heads, right?" ”

"That's it."

Chen Ning smiled happily: "Green lights and night rain, ten years of cold windows, even if there is no fame and fortune, you should be treated equally." What Mr. Su taught me, I feel right. ”

"Turns out you're half a nerd too!"

Zhao Mingyue pursed her lips and pulled him to urge: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go, hurry back to the yamen." ”

……

……

The moon is missing and the silver glow is deserted.

At the foot of Guangding Mountain, the master and apprentice of Shihai looked at the top of the mountain.

The golden seal in front of them was flying, blocking the way up the mountain, and they could only stop.

"Master, what is this?"

The little monk Xuanxin was extremely surprised, looked at the densely dancing seals, and exclaimed: "My Buddhism chants scriptures every day, thousands of years, but only condenses dozens of scriptures in front of the Buddha statue, on this barren mountain, there is such a majestic and magnificent power of scriptures."

How many seniors of the same path have done this to achieve such a point? ”

The eyes of the old monk Shi Hai are also very rare, and a look of amazement appears, and he only makes a sound after half a sound.

"This is not a masterpiece of the predecessors, but the Su Daoyou in the city alone, and only Mr. Confucianism can have such great perseverance, day and night, to write such a magnificent scene."

The old monk Shihai praised in a low voice, "The poor monk finally understands what Su Daoyou is doing in this small city...... It's just that what is in the mountains that he needs to spend half his life to protect it like this? ”

The eyes of the master and apprentice looking at the top of the mountain are complex and difficult to express.

"Let's go, the toad will definitely not be able to enter this mountain, it should still be hidden in a corner of the city, and survive."

Although the old monk Shi Hai turned around, he didn't take two steps, and he couldn't help but look back at Pingdingshan.

He suddenly came back to his senses and found that his Buddha heart was unstable, so he hurriedly lowered his head and silently recited the scriptures.
