Chapter Seventy-Six: The Flame and the Song of Life
"Sure enough, worrying too much will delay your cultivation. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, his hands constantly sealed, his body shrouded in a faint yellow glow.
The temperature of the whole room has risen a lot because of this yellow glow.
"At this pace, when will I be able to practice to the seventh layer of the real Xuanhuo Heavenly Skill!" Shui Xie shook his head and forcibly put away his idea of quick success: "Complete the seventh layer, and then go to subdue the Xuanhuo Gate, take your time, you can't be in a hurry, you can't reach it quickly." ”
In fact, water and fire are of the same origin, and with the stimulation of the top water system exercises such as the Water Waterfall Heart Sutra, the cultivation of the Xuanhuo Heavenly Skill in the Water Pavilion is also twice the result with half the effort, and the third layer has been achieved in just over two years, such progress, even in the Xuanhuo Gate, is outstanding. You must know that now the disciples in the Xuanhuo Sect can be promoted to elders as long as they cultivate to the fifth layer, and when they reach the sixth layer, they will be the Supreme Elders!
There is no seventh-layer technique of Xuanhuo Heavenly Gong in the Xuanhuo Gate, but the Water Pavilion does! For more than a year, there have not been many opportunities for the Water Pavilion to concentrate on cultivation, but most of the time he has broken through in battle, and the benefits that the battlefield has brought to the Water Pavilion are obvious. Not only has he obtained a body that has been perfectly transformed by the power of the world, but the Yang Dragon Heart Sutra and the Dark Dao have also reached a high level of attainment, the Water Waterfall Heart Sutra and the Xuanhuo Heavenly Gong go hand in hand, and the Soul Killing Great Law has also entered the legendary soul search stage, with a variety of top-level exercises, he has already reached the realm of the Martial Sect at a young age, what is there to dissatisfaction with the Water Pavilion?
The seal in the water pavilion's hand slowly stopped, and when he opened his eyes, his once shining eyes revealed a trace of exhaustion. Young and frivolous, he was once determined to protect Daqian, and such an ideal was somewhat unrealistic for people of his age. But after a few years of experience, the water pavilion also understands that the original ideal is almost utopian, the most important thing is that what happened this time made him feel cold, the light cavalry guard in the front line bloody battle, sacrifice most of the money, the great meritorious, but after returning to Beijing because of the villain's conspiracy and was framed, the people did not even show the slightest ability to discriminate at this time, just because of a big-character poster, all kinds of vicious words rushed to the light cavalry guard, towards the water pavilion.
Because of this incident, the water pavilion was cold, and the water pavilion was also shaken, and he wanted to give up his ideal for the first time, and how unrealistic the ideal seemed to be.
To make everyone like a gentleman, such a road is really too heavy and a long way to go. The people's wisdom needs enlightenment and enlightenment, and such a thing is obviously not something that the current water pavilion can accomplish.
Since I can't figure it out now, let's not think about it. This is not a method of spiritual victory, nor is it an escape, it is just the usual way of self-consolation of the water pavilion.
With a wry smile, Shui Xie got out of bed, walked out of the camp, and saw that the light cavalry guards were practicing boxing, and they were all tigers and tigers, as if they had endless energy.
Shui Xie looked at these young faces and said to the soldiers beside him, "Ten days off, how many days are left?"
"Back to the Great Commander, there are seven days left, and today is the third day. The soldier replied.
Shui Xie smiled slightly: "The assembly is lifted, let the brothers go out and go wherever they want, but they must come back every night to report." If there are idlers who dare to find fault with their eyes, they will be beaten directly on the spot, regardless of the precepts in the city, and they must not fall into the prestige of the light cavalry!"
"Yes!" the soldier shouted, a look of excitement in his eyes.
Being framed by others like this, the soldiers can only hide in the camp, and they have been training fiercely for the past few days, so they are not venting their anger in their hearts!
How can the invincible cavalry on the battlefield be ridden to the head by these scum at this time? The glory of the light cavalry guard cannot be tarnished!
Therefore, after hearing the order of the water pavilion, the soldiers all shouted happily, gearing up, and looked like they were going to fight well.
Shuixie didn't stop him, although he didn't know if this decision was right or wrong, but faintly, he also had a kind of expectation in his heart - he really wanted to have a good fight!
Not long after the order of the water pavilion was given, the large camp of the light cavalry guards was already empty.
And Wang Weidong and others have already gone to Wanhualou to see the girl.
Today's Tianjing City is very lively, after the big change of guard, the soldiers of the Western Front have returned one after another, and all kinds of wine shops and teahouses have been occupied by soldiers in civilian clothes, and they can't even find a vacant seat. The sound of drinking, shouting, and hearty laughter resounded in one place, and those merchants who came and went from the north to the south did not miss this opportunity, and the street stalls had become a river and a sea, and the whole of Tianjing was filled with an atmosphere of triumphant joy.
And the small discordant voice about the light cavalry guard before has been lost in this tide of joy.
When some soldiers heard about the violent acts of the Water Pavilion before, they not only did not accuse and insult them, but also gave a thumbs up, praising the Water Pavilion for not falling into the prestige of their soldiers.
In another half a month, these soldiers who have returned from the front line will be transferred to the south, where the climate is warm and humid, but much better than in the northwest. As for the light cavalry guards, it is estimated that they will still be stationed in the Qinhe River, after all, the south is near the sea, and the role of the cavalry will be greatly reduced.
Once the head of the three princes of the capital, Xu Zilong is still guarding the border pass in Qingzhou in the north, but for some reason, Shui Xie's heart will always associate Xu Zilong with Yin Xiumei, who is also from Qingzhou, there is no evidence at all, but this is a kind of spiritual awareness. Shui Xie believes that the Yin family has been dormant for a hundred years, and at this moment, he bought the position of a crown princess with a huge amount of five million taels of silver, and the plan must be not small, and it is not just as simple as serving the country with loyalty.
Yin family, Yin family, what are you trying to do? When will I also go to Qingzhou to meet you? Shui Xie looked up at the sky and sighed softly.
After returning from the battlefield and seeing Tang Shance return home, Shuixie actually had a trace of homesickness, and once this thought came out, it could no longer be controlled, just like a vine watered by the spring rain, growing uninhibited!
Standing next to Limo Square, looking at those happy crowds, Shui Xie smiled slightly, but he felt a little lost in his heart, he was indeed homesick, thinking of those people he had never seen before, on that strange Qianlong Continent, on the continent that Li Wusheng called "the ultimate in martial arts and humanity".
Shui Xie has not forgotten that there is still a cousin of his own lying in the Xuanhuo Ring-Shui Yifeng, if he goes home, he will have to rely on this brother to lead the way!
After listening to Shui Yifeng's narration, Shui Xie understood that the top and bottom of the Thousand Dragons Sect were not necessarily welcoming to him, but his uncle had sent someone to assassinate him, and last time he actually dispatched a martial saint and several martial king powerhouses, such a lineup was enough to cross the pure martial continent, but he didn't expect to be escaped by himself.
Now the strength of the Water Pavilion is still too far behind, and if you rush back to the Thousand Dragons Sect, it is no different from looking for death.
"It's mine, I'll get it back one day. The young master of the Thousand Dragons Sect, Shui Xue, said.
After another ten days, all the front-line troops finally entered Beijing, and the Qing Emperor also began his post-war reward. Due to the outstanding military exploits of the Light Cavalry Guard, all the officers and soldiers were promoted to the first rank, and their great commander Shuixie had a brilliant record, and successfully caused civil strife in Monroe with the strength of one army, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Central Plains army on the Western Front, and was awarded the title of Second Class Yuanweibo, and the Qing Emperor gave him the title - General Flame!
Although some people called Shui Xie a general before, it was just an honorific, and Shui Pavilion's previous identity was just the commander of the light cavalry guard, and it had nothing to do with the general.
For the title of this thing, its symbolic meaning is far greater than the direct benefit, once someone is given the title by the emperor, then this person will always become the banner of the imperial court, which also means that the imperial court will spend great efforts to promote and help, the previous people who have been awarded the title are all famous people for a long time, and the young general of the water pavilion is a precedent.
You must know that in the history of pure martial arts, there are very few generals who can have titles, Li Wusheng is titled "General Wusheng", Xu Huazhao is titled "General Zhenwei", these are all heroes who have made significant contributions to the country, and Shui Xie is young, but he has also won such a title!
At the same time as the Water Pavilion, there was also the oldest veteran general in the entire Central Plains - Zhang Shangwu, who was named General Wuwei.
Of course, some people have raised objections in private, on the grounds that the water pavilion is too young and has not yet matured, and now it is directly given the title, which is not conducive to the growth of young people, and if it is complacent, it will definitely cause some obstacles to the progress of this star of hope.
Those old guys who have been struggling in the officialdom for decades are naturally a little resentful, and they blame the Qing Emperor for favoring one over the other, cooling the hearts of their predecessors, and their dissatisfaction is overflowing.
However, the oldest general, Zhang Shangwu, glared at him and said to these dissatisfied ministers: "Who of you can lead a cavalry into the grassland for five months and destroy a large number of Munro's elites? Who of you can lead more than 1,000 people to and fro in Munro's territory for more than two months and still return safely? You have all seen that Munro may have civil strife, but who can lead the army to take the initiative to provoke Munro's civil strife?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped squeaking, this kind of thing can only be envied, who calls people both young and powerful?
As for the title of General Flame, Gao Shenghan still came up with it. The temperament of the water pavilion is sometimes too soft, and it is not very suitable for long-term battlefield killing, so our pearl princess hopes to use the word flame to add some fiery temperament and enthusiasm to the water pavilion. Moreover, after the Water Pavilion was born at the show conference, it swept through the southwest like a flame, and no one could stop it in the north and south. It is said that after Gao Shenghan proposed the title of "Flame", the Qing Emperor also praised it very much.
"Fire and water are of the same origin! not bad!" Emperor Qing smiled at his daughter.
Unexpectedly, Tang Shance, the thinker of the light cavalry guard, publicly resigned at such a moment.
Originally, Tang Shance partnered with the Water Pavilion and others, and took the light cavalry guard to create immortal achievements, and in the more than a month when the Water Pavilion was deep in the world of life and death, all of them were Tang Shance who led the light cavalry guard and the intercepted pursuers.
And with this think tank by his side, the water pavilion is also handy in fighting, and there are many fewer worries.
But at this time, Tang Shance resigned!
Tang Shance said that he was the chief disciple of the Sword Book Pavilion, one of the seven holy places, and now that the experience has ended, he must go back to take care of the affairs of the pavilion.
Shui Xie also understood Tang Shance's thoughts, for Tang Shance, battlefield fighting was just a necessary experience, and the Sword Book Pavilion was still waiting for him to inherit, in comparison, the pavilion master of the martial arts holy land was much more attractive than the generals of the imperial court.
When Tang Shance left, he didn't inform the light cavalry guards, and he didn't want to see the parting look, although men can be sad, but our little Tang has been sad because of women for many years, and he doesn't need to be sad anymore.
"Just left?" "Only Shui Xie was the only one who came to see Tang Shance.
"It's time to leave. Tang Shance rode on a horse, a burden and a sword, his long hair was fluttering, chic, and the smile on his face was like a brilliant morning glow, but it inexplicably revealed a sense of depression.
Shui Xie rode next to Tang Shance and said, "To be honest, I really envy you, so I left in style, and I still have to stay in this barracks and continue to fight with that so-called title." ”
Tang Shance turned his head and looked at the water pavilion with a smile, and said, "Do you want to go?" ”
Hearing this, Shui Xie's expression suddenly became a little weird, and he stared at Tang Shance, and then sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, Xiao Tang, you win." ”
"Okay, don't send it either. Tang Shance suddenly leaned in and said, "Take care of Jun Yao for me, our family's Jun Yao! If you dare to be sorry for her, I won't mind coming out of the Sword Book Pavilion to fight with you!"
Shui Xie smiled bitterly and didn't make a sound.
"This time I don't know when I will see you again. It's nice to be a brother with someone like you. Tang Shance sighed.
Shui Xie also smiled: "If I want to find you, why don't I go directly to the Sword Book Pavilion?"
At this time, Tang Shance's expression was a little complicated, and he was silent for a while before he said: "Shuixie, in my lifetime, I will try my best to control the Sword Book Pavilion from being your enemy, but if the Sword Book Pavilion becomes your enemy one day, it means that I, the future Pavilion Master, have been set aside, and I will definitely not be able to suppress the people below." ”
Shui Xie frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
"No, I'm not sure yet, just a faint feeling. The Sword Book Pavilion is the same as Guansong Dao, and it has been very low-key and transcendent over the years, but that group of old immortal elders is not a good stubble, the older they get, the more they want to make some moves, and the current pavilion master, that is, my master, has a faint sign that these elders can't be suppressed. When I go back this time, the main task is to obtain the inheritance baptism of the Sword Pavilion, and then become the master of the Pavilion, I want to put the Sword Pavilion under my control. ”
"But how could the Sword Book Pavilion be my enemy? I'm just a small person now. "Water Pavilion Road.
Tang Shance smiled bitterly and said: "You will eventually grow into a big man, you have now become a martial artist, and you are still the youngest titled general of pure martial arts, I don't know how many people will covet it, Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, you still have to be careful! If you grow too fast and destroy the inherent rules of this world, then those old forces may make a move, and Sword Book Pavilion is precisely one of these old forces." ”
Shui Xie sighed, and then smiled: "I understand, thank you for reminding me, I will be more low-key in the future." ”
"Let's leave it at that!" Tang Shance smiled slightly and said.
"All the way...... Downwind!" The water pavilion slammed Tang Shance hard.
"Let's go!" Tang Shance sat down on the horse and whipped him fiercely, and the figure gradually moved away, leaving a trail of smoke and dust.
Shui Xie sat on the horse, looking at Tang Shance's back, his eyes flashing with a complicated light.
Life is like a play, the curtain opens, how many people appear on the stage, the drama rehearsed with life is constantly staged, and when the curtain falls, it is the end of the song when people disperse, how many people in life are passers-by, and how many people come here but never leave.
At this time, the water pavilion is like a spectator, watching the crowd coming and going around them, quietly watching the tragicomedy staged in their own lives.
Looking at life as a spectator, looking at yourself.
This is a very wonderful state, such a state has been in the water pavilion before, but it was interrupted by Yin Xiumei's guards at that time, and now, the water pavilion is silent again in such a wonderful state.
Countless figures flashed through the water pavilion's mind. Wu Lao Zhuang, Uncle Long, Aunt Feng, Dahu Erhu, Xiaoqing, Zheng Xuanyan, Dabu Tianyi, Wan Junyao, Gao Shenghan...... As well as the father and mother who have not yet appeared, as well as the brethren of the light cavalry, the voices and smiles of these people continue to emerge in the heart of the water pavilion, and the emotions that appear in the heart of the water pavilion at the same time as these characters, flying, sad, beautiful, and dreamy......
These emotions finally converged into a song, sometimes tactful, sometimes melodious, sometimes atmospheric, sometimes warm, when this song appeared in the heart of the water pavilion, he already understood that this is a song of life, a song of life composed with his own youth.
Of course, everyone's life is different, and everyone is writing life with life.
Pedestrians on the side of the road came and went, but no one noticed the strangeness of the water pavilion. Or rather, the water pavilion at this time was too calm, so calm that it was hidden in the air, even if he was standing alive on the side of the road, no one would pay attention to his existence.
It seems that he should be here, it seems that after a hundred years and a thousand years, he has always been here, and it is an eternal feeling!
