Chapter 42: Encounter Again
You're a gift. β
"Yes, I'm learning swords-related things very quickly."
"But it's too fast." The girl exclaimed, "Can the young man show the other moves as well?" β
Pei Ye nodded, and used the latter styles from his hand as he said, and when [Qingming] made a move, the small wooden sword was also shocked.
"Hmm!" The girl couldn't help but clap her hands, "What a powerful sword." β
Then she looked at it a little stunned: "I really feel unique to this set of swords."
"How?" Pei Ye consciously is a fan of the authorities.
The girl shook her head a little confusedly: "I can't say it for the time being." β
"Then let's talk slowly in the future." Pei Li said, "It's your turn, Miss Li." β
"Okay." Li Yiqing nodded, "If the 'Jade Shadow' young man wants to see it, I can show it in person, and now I have the 'Yellow Jade' in my hand." β
The girl adjusted her breathing, her hand raised slightly, and the copper sword strip balanced on her fingertips. Then she slowly raised her other finger and flicked it, as if the wind and clouds had changed suddenly, and the palm of her hand turned into a flower. Then a small sword stabbed out from the bottom of the palm, like a golden crow probe.
This is a literal "flying bronze shadow", Pei Li thought, and applauded in his hand: "Good sword!" β
Li Yiqing smiled with satisfaction, and used the next three swords in turn, so the feeling described by the girl suddenly came to Pei Li's heart.
It is indeed subtle and indescribable.
The girl finished the drill and stopped her fingers.
Pei Ye was stunned: "Huh? Gone? Behind. Is there still a sword move? β
Li Yiqing was a little surprised: "Shaoxia has such a keen eye, yes, there are three styles behind, but I haven't learned it yet, and I still have a lot of experience in person, and I can't use it in my hands." β
"Hmm." Pei Li nodded, "It's okay, I haven't learned a few styles later, let's communicate when we learn it." β
The two of them found a clean place to sit on the ground, and began to fight with their swords.
This kind of "hand talk" is indeed very interesting and quite restrained, it does not represent the real victory or defeat, and it does not reveal too much information about the swordsmanship, and even the superiority of the moves of the two sides is not so clear. Therefore, everyone can play with confidence, play at will, and play with different levels of sword cultivation.
But it is indeed a projection of a person's kendo level, and in this kind of competition, you can get a real understanding and experience the joy of the game.
It can be described as a gentleman's play that belongs exclusively to sword cultivation.
Pei Ye and Li Yiqing fought for a while, and gradually stopped their movements at the same time.
Pei Ye raised his head, and Li Yiqing also looked over with a somewhat confused smile.
"Did you find that these two swordsmanship we know don't seem to be suitable for fighting each other?"
"yes."
"But it does feel something." Li Yiqing pondered.
Pei Li agreed.
"That's all for today." The girl withdrew her hand and moved her fingers.
She looked at Pei Li with some curiosity: "I don't know where the young man is?" β
"Bonghuai." Pei Ye pointed to the girl's finger sword, "Miss Li, is the shape of your sword a heart-cutting glass?" β
"Huh? Right! Li Yiqing laughed a little surprised, "Shaoxia, you haven't even heard of 'pointing to the sword', can you actually recognize the heart-cutting glass?" β
"Huh."
Li Yiqing lowered his head and rubbed the small sword twice, and laughed softly: "This is cast by my senior brother, I like the Ming Sword Master, when he went to Shaolong Mansion before, he bought a portrait of Heart-Cutting Liuli and came back, and cast it according to it." β
"Hmm! Did you cast it yourself? That's very crafty. Pei Ye looked at this small sword strip, and the details and proportions were very appropriate.
"Haha, in fact, the first time it was cast was a crooked copper bump, and it couldn't be polished, and now this. It's a dozen editions later. β
Pei Ye's eyes widened slightly: "Senior Brother Ling must have a good relationship with you." β
"Hmm. He treated me a little too well, and I was sixteen or seventeen years old, and I couldn't do anything. The girl looked at the starry sky and smiled softly, "We were both born and raised in the Sword Gate, and he took me to play with him from a very young age. β
The girl tied the brass sword back to her waist, and smiled: "Actually, I don't know if this shape is right or not, anyway, it cost four or five taels of silver, saying that Shenjing has seen the painting of the real body of the heart-cutting glass painted by the painter, and then copied it." β
"That's right." Pei Li nodded in affirmation.
Li Yiqing glanced at him a little strangely: "Hopefully." But it doesn't matter, my brother has put a lot of thought into it, and I like the way it looks. It's really fake, it's all cast by others anyway, and there is no 'genuine' certified by the master of the sword in the world. β
Pei Ye nodded: "That's right, anyway, it's worn on yourself, and it has nothing to do with whether it's true or not." β
"Yes, they are all very distant characters - but don't say it, before the newspaper said that a man in white came to our state to ask for a sword, and later there was news that it was the master of the Ming sword, but I think it is also something to catch the wind and shadows." The girl looked up at Tiandao, "I really want to see the side of the Ming Sword Master, she is so good." β
"You haven't seen her yet, how do you know she's good?"
"I- well, that's right." Li Yiqing looked at the stars, her eyes were bright and moist, and the stars fell into it very brightly, "Maybe the Ming Sword Master also has his own predicament, but at least in my imagination, she should be the kind of person who will never have troubles and ties." β
Pei Ye was stunned, but couldn't help but nodded.
Then he said: "Next year's Shenjing Feather Scale Test, Ming Jian will mainly participate, do you want to go and see?" β
"Ming Jian's main participation is just a guess, but I do have some thoughts about going." The girl lowered her head and withdrew her gaze, and as soon as the stars left, those eyes returned to their normal color.
"But that's a long way to come." She said softly.
Pei Ye looked at the girl, her gaze looking at the empty space, as if there was something there that was not visible to others.
Pei Ye lowered his head and watched the small wooden sword spin in his hand.
Li Yiqing next to him noticed it and smiled: "This one of yours is nothing special, it was made by a craftsman in our Cuiyu Sword Sect, the material is sandalwood, and each disciple has issued one." β
Pei Ye turned it over and took a closer look, and it was indeed engraved with four beautiful small characters of "Linshui Cuiyu".
"In fact, there are many places in the state city that sell finger swords, if you like to play, you can buy a good-looking one to use."
"No, this one is good." Pei Liquid Road.
This is not all polite, as one of the initiation ceremonies of the disciples of the Cuiyu Sword Sect, this small sword is rarely carved but polished hard, the original wood grain is very beautiful, and the weight distribution has also been pondered, which is quite a simple beauty.
Li Yiqing leaned back and put his hands on the ground: "I heard that Shenjing has many styles of finger swords, there are many strange materials and designs, and some have even been tempered by alchemists, and there are many ways to play. β
"I'll take a look when I get to Shenjing." Pei Ye imagined according to the girl's words, and suddenly asked, "When will you be able to learn the next three styles?" β
How can it be so simple to learn a sword, it depends on the years. Before the Wu Bi, he had completed the 'Jade Chapter', and there was only one senior brother in the past ten years. β
"Then your senior brother is very talented."
"Well, my senior brother's talent is higher than mineβthe young man's talent is also very high." Li Yiqing was a little curious, "By the way, I don't know the young man's inheritance." β
"I don't have a teacher."
"Huh?" Li Yiqing smiled, "Did the young man arrive at the clumsy realm after only practicing this half of "Cicada Sword"? β
"That's not it," Pei Ye smiled, "I learned it first-"
He suddenly staggered, let out a light "ah", and patted his forehead: "Actually, the Cicada Sword is not my strongest sword." β
βοΌοΌβ Li Yiqing looked at him with wide eyes.
We're all done swapping!
"But this is indeed the strongest swordsmanship I use in martial arts." Pei Ye hurriedly explained, "If you defeat me, Miss Li, I will admit defeat and step down, and I will not use stronger swordsmanship against you." β
β.β The girl's eyes widened at these words, but her eyebrows furrowed a little. She opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
You used it. What can we do?
This young man is simple and sincere, and Yijian also has a spiritual light, but he likes to talk to himself a little.
said that he was an equal opponent but only had two lives, when he judged his own glass sword, and now. There is a little bit of love pretending.
But anyway, it didn't hurt, Li Yiqing stretched out and said: "It's too late today, why don't we confirm each other tomorrow?" β
It was indeed late, and the surroundings were truly silent, and even the insects in the small courtyard seemed to have disappeared. Outside the courtyard wall, the ventilation windows of the small building have also been closed, and only one in the middle of the third floor has been leaked, and a black hole under the dark blue night sky is still exposed.
"Okay, Miss Li, let's rest early."
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow."
As soon as Li Yiqing turned around, he heard a "poof" behind him, and when he turned around, the young man was already lying under the tree with the sword box on his pillow.
"Won't the young man go back to the house to sleep?"
"I don't have a place to live here, I sleep in an inn on weekdays, it's late today, just deal with it."
"How can that be?" The girl exclaimed, "There is still a vacant room in my courtyard, come and live with me." β
"Huh? You don't have to, it's too presumptuous. β
"No, the yard is very large, and a few senior brothers and sisters are also dissatisfied."
Oh, there are other fellow doors. Pei Ye got up with a smile: "Then I'll bother for one night." β
"Why bother one night, Pei Shaoxia, you can return the inn and just come here to stay." Li Youqing said sincerely.
Pei Ye naturally waved his hand hurriedly.
The two walked out of the martial arts field with their front and back feet, and Pei Ye knew that it was this girl who lived in the West Courtyard.
The girl led Pei Li to find a vacant room and said goodbye. Pei Ye and the shadow in the abdomen explained, and went to bed.
The first feeling was that I had never slept in such a soft bed.
ββ
Early in the morning, when the morning sun was shining from the clear air, a little fat man with a short figure came in at the door of the martial arts hall.
Zhang Dingyun walked in refreshed, and as soon as he came to the door of the martial arts field, he heard the sound of the side door, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Pei Ye coming out of the west courtyard.
βοΌβ Zhang Dingyun stood still, frowning and looking at him.
"Yesterday, I had a sword talk with a friend from Cuiyu Sword Gate, and they kept me." Pei Li smiled.
"This is the Emerald Feather Sword Gate?" Zhang Dingyun was surprised, "They came so early this year? - I can't live in this small courtyard. β
I don't understand, but it seems like there are only four or five people living there." Pei Liquid Road.
Zhang Dingyun sighed: "The most brilliant character in Cuiyu Jianmen this year is Li Yiqing, the top four characters, and the second most popular, I heard that he is only seventeen years old, I really want to see such a character." β
"Ah, she's in there, just up."
"Huh?"
"She gave us a sword early yesterday morning, and she was a very good person."
"Alas, you can't have both fish and bear's paws." Zhang Dingyun let out a heavier sigh.
"What do you mean?"
"The talented girl I told you about yesterday actually patronized our poetry club." Zhang Dingyun smiled with satisfaction, "I also made a poem with us." β
"Do talented girls also watch martial arts?"
"What words! Our Datang civil and military have never been separated. But. I really didn't make a poem about martial arts, she re-emerged the question, she made a catch of Moon Lake, and after the end, she helped us change the poems one by one, and everyone took it to the academy to show off. β
Pei Ye didn't understand these things anyway, so he changed the topic and said, "It doesn't seem right that you say that Li Yiqing is the most brilliant in the Cuiyu Sword Sect, and she has a more powerful senior brother." β
β.β Zhang Dingyun looked at him inexplicably.
"What's wrong?" Pei Li looked back, "Ao! Is her senior brother not participating in this year's martial arts competition? Participated in it before? β
"What if. You're talking about the senior brother I know, and that's true, he participated in last year's Winter Tournament. Zhang Dingyun groaned.
"I'm talking about the very talented one."
"That's it."
"Did Dong win the championship by him?"
"Yes."
"No wonder." Pei Li smiled, "I misunderstood-then he should have participated in the Shenjing Martial Arts this summer, but he doesn't know what the results are?" β
"No grades, he. Didn't participate in the Shinkyo martial arts. Zhang Dingyun looked at the young man, "In the spring of this year, he was killed, and his head was cut off and thrown in front of the gate of Cuiyu Mountain. β
β.β
"Let's go." Zhang Dingyun took a handful of stunned Pei Li and said in a low voice, "The morning class is about to start." β
ββ
After listening to the morning class, Pei Ye said to the head of the sect that he planned to visit Bai Sibing today.
This elder is warm-hearted, he has never met and introduced himself to the martial arts hall, he has also learned things here, made friends, and in the past two days, he has just entered the "slow" period, and it is also the day when people are resting, so he should visit it.
When he went out and passed by the small courtyard on the west side, Pei Ye planned to talk to Li Yiqing and exchange swordsmanship when he came back later, but he was told that the girl had also gone out just now, and he also left a letter for him to discuss at noon and evening.
Pei Ye went out and went to Bai Sibing's house.
When I came to the south of the city, I followed the instructions of Chang Daren before, asked all the way, and finally found this mansion that was neither big nor small, neither old nor new.
Behind it, there was Bowang Garden, and in front of the house, Pei Ye was about to walk over, but he saw that the door was just pushed open from the inside, and an old man with a kind face sent a young and slender woman out.
The two talked a few words in front of the door, the woman said goodbye and left, and the old man closed the door.
Pei Ye watched the woman coming towards him, but he didn't pay attention to himself. She walked to the side of the street near the water and stood still, looking at the Moon Catching Lake with fascination.
The woman's eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, her emotions are deep, the upper of her skirt is stained with some mud, and her temperament is quiet and beautiful.
It was the Qi girl I met at the door of the casino.
