Chapter 8 The night snow melon island crosses, and the autumn wind disperses
At this moment, the bell of Songyang Sword Mansion for lunch rang, Bai Yunqi glanced at Long Qingyun, stood up from the stone bench, and walked out of the hexagonal pavilion with his hands in his hands.
Bai Yunqi said as he walked: "Qingyun, time is pressing, after lunch in a while, you come to my study for a while, and the teacher will guide you in martial arts." ”
"Yes, Master. Long Qingyun followed, and the two quickly walked to the lake.
Passing through the lake embankment of the tender willow hanging around, looking to the south, the two cypress trees at the entrance of the Taoist Ancestral Hall are tall and straight, straight into the sky, the whole sword mansion is built according to the mountain, the corridor is complete, simple and elegant.
On both sides of the road, the trees are lush and green, after the Taoist Temple, you will come to the place to eat, this is a house with a civil and stone structure, a mountain-style roof, the door "dining room" two big characters of Lishu rush to the face, Long Qingyun can not help but be hungry.
The two stepped into the dining room, Bai Yunqi signaled to Long Qingyun with his eyes, and went straight to the private room on the left side of the door, where the tall Mo Tianyu sat opposite the door, and when he saw Bai Yunqi enter the door, he said loudly: "Senior Brother Bai, you are here, please come in quickly." ”
This is a large room, although it is a place to eat, it is also a simple and elegant decoration, Bai Yunqi just sat down next to Mo Tianyu, and said leisurely: "The quality of this year's students is good, such as Wang Gao and Niu Ben recruited by Senior Brother Cen, and Tuoba Xi of Senior Sister Leng are very good." ”
Cen Ruohan and Leng Zhuqing bowed slightly, expressing their deep agreement. Mo Tianyu suddenly said with a worried face: "Yunqi, not long after you left just now, the admissions exam ended, who knew that at this time, Luo Ziqian, the son of Luo Shaoyuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, came to Yanwutai. ”
"Next, I accepted this Luo Ziqian as an apprentice. Qin Kuobai next to him said coldly, his eyes widened angrily, full of helplessness.
Bai Yunqi couldn't help but wonder, "This squire of the Ministry of Works, Luo Shaoyuan, is a hardcore 'Lord and faction', which one is this singing?"
Gu Jianqiu, a generation of swordsmanship, is one of the top ten masters of Nanyongguo. Likes to be alone. Withdrawn temperament, contemptuous of the powerful. But somehow, a few years ago, two apprentices were suddenly recruited and caused a sensation in Lin'an City, one was Gu Baiyu, the son of Prime Minister Gu Jingxiu, and the other was Luo Ziqian, the son of Luo Shaoyuan, the squire of the Ministry of Works.
In the martial arts arena just now, Guo Kuobai also tried this Luo Ziqian's skills, which is really extraordinary, and he deserves to be the leader among the children of the official eunuchs in Lin'an City.
Luo Ziqian has a very high talent in swordsmanship, and his sword style is fast and ruthless, and he is known for being fast. It is said that the young swordsmen of Lin'an who looked for him to compete with the sword were all defeated under his "Thirteen Styles of Chasing the Wind", but they were all defeated with one sword, I don't know if the person who was looking for him to compete with the sword was too bad, or this Luo Ziqian swordsmanship was too mysterious, or the legend was wrong.
But as a result, the twenty-year-old Luo Ziqian broke out of the nickname of "chasing the wind with a sword" in the rivers and lakes, which resounded throughout Lin'an City.
After Long Qingyun and Master Bai Yunqi stepped into the door and separated, they went straight to Niu Ben, only to see Niu Ben sitting alone in the left corner to eat.
Long Qingyun rushed forward and patted Niu Ben on the shoulder slightly, and Niu Ben shouted: "Qingyun." "I didn't turn around, my playmate for so many years, from the strength of patting his shoulder, he knew that it was Long Qingyun.
Long Qingyun went to the restaurant window and brought two dishes and a big bowl of rice, and sat directly opposite Niu Ben. Niu Ben immediately stretched his head over, approached Long Qingyun's ears, and said mysteriously: "At the end of the enrollment just now, a heroic and upright young man came, it seems that his name is Luo Ziqian, that swordsmanship is really a masterpiece, the sword shadow flashed thirteen times, and Mr. Guo also avoided this series of attacks and accepted him as an apprentice." At that time, the applause was thunderous, and even your limelight was robbed by him.
As he was talking, there was an exclamation outside the dining room, and the two of them hurried out, and it turned out that under a pine and cypress opposite the dining room, a blue-robed disciple was prostrate in front of a white-robed young man, with a faint sword wound on his left shoulder, and there were spots of blood on his clothes around the wound.
The white-robed young man was tall and handsome, but his demeanor was very arrogant: "Don't say it's you, it's your master, Old Man Cen, and I'm not afraid of him." Although he didn't call Cen Ruohan's name, it was disrespectful not to call Uncle Shi.
Long Qingyun was about to step forward to stop the white-robed young man, when suddenly a voice like a silver bell sounded: "Stop, you are so rude to speak." The voice is crisp and pleasant, but the tone is also faintly irresistible majesty.
Luo Ziqian was slightly stunned, and was about to get angry, but he turned his face to look at the place where the voice came from, and it was a delicate and graceful girl, looking at herself with angry eyes.
Seeing such a beauty, Luo Ziqian's face was about to be angry, and suddenly said as bright as the sun after the rain: "Who is my Dao, it turned out to be a junior sister." Seeing that Tuoba Xi was not wearing a blue disciple costume, Luo Ziqian decided that she was a new female disciple today.
Luo Ziqian arched his hand to Tuobaxi: "Under Luo Ziqian, Teacher Qin's newly accepted apprentice, the son of the Ministry of Works, I disturbed my junior sister just now, and I will compensate you for it." The language is decent, the face is smiling, and the indescribable free and handsome and jade tree is in the wind.
Seeing Luo Ziqian like this, Tuoba Xi was embarrassed to be angry, but the other party's eyes were aimed at him with bad intentions, making him very uncomfortable, so he said angrily: "Apologize to this senior brother." ”
Everyone was quite surprised, and Luo Ziqian, who was arrogant and domineering just now, immediately went over to help the senior brother on the ground and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Seeing this, everyone dispersed in a hurry, and the injured blue-robed young man also left angrily with the support of another blue-robed young man. I didn't say anything, my skills are not as good as others, and I can't tell the master about this kind of thing, so I only broke my teeth and swallowed it in my stomach.
This scene was seen by Cen Ruohan, who was standing in the distance, and shook his head: "My disciple's martial arts are not weak, he was put down by this Luo Ziqian in three or two strokes, and there was a hole in his clothes, hey......"
Mo Tianyu and Bai Yunqi next to him also had a condensed face, although the two of them were also among the top ten masters of Nanyong Kingdom with Gu Jianqiu, but they had never fought each other, this person's apprentices were so powerful, Gu Jianqiu's swordsmanship could be imagined.
Although the "One Sword Shocking Wind" is exaggerated, but just now when he put down the blue-robed disciple, it didn't exceed ten moves, could it be that the disciple taught by my dignified Songyang Sword Mansion is so much worse than the apprentice of the "Chasing the Wind Thirteen Swords" Gu Jianqiu, no wonder when Luo Ziqian spoke just now, his tone was very disrespectful to Cen Ruohan.
Cen Ruohan, who was dashing, also had a tingle on his face, that is, if he wanted to suppress Luo Ziqian's "Thirteen Styles of Chasing the Wind", it would take a lot of effort.
After Luo Ziqian finished making this series of polite actions, he leaned over to Tuobaxi: "May I ask my senior sister Fang's name?"
Although this Luo Zi is pious and pious, he is tall and handsome, but his demeanor is frivolous and his eyes are gloomy. Tuoba Xi has a natural sense of resistance.
Even so, but seeing that Long Qingyun, who was lifted by Xiao Shuxuan, was standing next to him, Tuoba Xi deliberately smiled with a smile on his face: "My name is Tuoba Xi, Teacher Leng's apprentice." "Luo Ziqian arrived at the Songyang Sword Mansion near the end of the exam, so he didn't know Tuobaxi's name.
Seeing this, Long Qingyun's face was indifferent, and he said hello to Niu Ben and turned away, but Tuoba Xi was different, the more Long Qingyun was like this, the more he was out of the dust, and the cold and cold feeling made Tuoba Xi even more crazy in his heart.
The smile on Tuoba Xi's face suddenly became cold after Long Qingyun left, the girl's heart was really hard to fathom, it was still a sunny summer just now, and suddenly it was a cold winter with snowflakes.
Tuoba Xi stomped his feet, left with a cold face, Luo Ziqian under the pine and cypress trees looked confused, looked at Tuoba Xi's shadow in disappointment, and stood on the spot, completely lost the chic madness just now.
At this time, Mo Tianyu and the five of them had already separated, and Qin Kuobai, who was standing in the distance, looked at Luo Ziqian, frowned slightly, and showed a strange expression on his face.
"Which girl is not pregnant with spring, and that young man is not affectionate." Seeing Tuobaxi's fiery eyes, Long Qingyun was also excited, only to feel that the rhythm of his heart was beating chaotically, and he felt a pounding feeling.
However, after looking at the endgame of Luo Ziqian's sword picking the blue-robed senior brother just now, Long Qingyun knew that his martial arts were just the first glimpse of the door, Luo Ziqian had reached the point of perfection, and he was still far from Luo Ziqian, so he turned around and came to Bai Yunqi's study.
Passing through the corridor-lined building, walking through a section of the road to a simple and elegant gate, Long Qingyun knocked on the door. "Please come in. Bai Yunqi's deep voice came from inside.
Long Qingyun pushed the door in, and saw a large pear blossom desk by the window of the room, with a few books and manuscripts on the case, and a few treasure inkstones, two black pen holders, and a few wolves in the pen holders.
Bai Yunqi sat in front of the bookcase, his right hand on the scroll, and his index finger raised slightly. Motioning to Long Qingyun to close the door, Bai Yunqi pointed to a pear blossom wood chair next to him, and there happened to be a cup of freshly brewed tea on the wooden chair.
Long Qingyun bowed to Bai Yunqi to show respect. Turned around and sat down. Bai Yunqi said leisurely: "Qingyun, you also saw it just now, that Luo Ziqian is so powerful, he defeated the disciple of Songyang Sword Mansion on the first day of entry, and this disciple has no power to fight back at all, it can be seen that Luo Ziqian's swordsmanship has reached the point of perfection." ”
As Bai Yunqi spoke, he slowly stood up and paced back and forth in the room. Looking at the old man in front of him, his hair was all white, and although his eyes were bright, he still couldn't hide the gloom in his eyes.
Bai Yunqi's back and forth body stopped on the opposite side, standing in front of a painting hanging on the wall. looked solemn and stood silent for a long time.
Long Qingyun couldn't help but be curious, got up and stood up, walked to the opposite side, and suddenly came into view of a "Frontier Kanyu Map", mountains, rivers, countries, and towns jumped on the paper.
The north and northeast are Donghan, the northwest is Xiqi, the west is north of Xiqiang, the west is Tubo Zhubu, and the west is Dali. South of the Qinling Mountains, the Huai River, and the Dasanguan is the Nanyong Kingdom.
The word "Nanyong" is larger than the other words, so it is particularly eye-catching, and the word "Lin'an" in Kyoto is also strong and dazzling.
Standing in front of the figure, Bai Yunqi looked solemn, and said in a heroic voice:
"In the early years, I knew that the world was difficult, and the north of the Central Plains was like a mountain; ”
