Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Palace's Sword Practice
Li Bad, who got up early in the morning, just pushed the door and came out, he saw Li Zi standing still, holding the peach rune wooden sword in his back hand, standing in the courtyard with his eyes closed, concentrating and lifting.
Li Bad smiled slightly, walked to the side, was sitting on the edge of the stone table knocking melon seeds, looking at the plum with interest, grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table, squatted directly on the stone chair, and followed Murong Lin to sip the melon seeds, and looked at the plum.
Li Zi's appearance, he was not uncommon back then, as long as he got up early in the morning, he could see this kid on the stone platform in the bamboo forest, with the clouds and mist on Wudang, if ordinary people looked from afar, they really felt that this Taoist priest might be the rumored immortal in Wudang Mountain.
It's just that he is in the palace at the moment, and there are all kinds of expensive decorations around him, so he looks like a well-fed child of a family, pretending to be a fake trick, no wonder they all say that the phoenix in the sky and the golden chicken on the ground, isn't this the truth?
Murong Lin, who had already knocked out a big melon seed skin beside him, seemed to be impatient, and poked Li Bad who was squatting on the chair with his shoulder, and asked, "Little bad, this Wudang Mountain early morning exercise is like this? Why is this like the previous master who asked us to stand in the early morning, and I didn't understand it at all?" ”
Li Bad still knocked the melon seeds without stopping, and replied casually: "It's right if you don't understand, this kid practices swords." ”
Practicing swords? I, Murong Lin, don't practice martial arts, but I've seen a lot of masters when I'm young, can I practice swords when I stand motionless?
Li Bad grabbed his head and looked at Murong Lin with a look of disbelief written on his face, and explained: "This is their Wudang sword technique, it is said that a hundred years ago, when the legendary immortal in Wudang slashed the evil dragon in Difu Mountain, it was such a sword technique, as the so-called, 'The shadow on the peak is blanching, the peak is crying, the fairy posture is not seen, and the sword qi is sprinkled in the world', this is their Wudang sword technique." ”
Murong Lin heard it in a fog, and he couldn't understand what Li Bad said, but he became interested, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said, "What is this saying, come, tell me." He looked at Li Bad with anticipation.
Li Bad smiled mysteriously, raised his eyebrows, and said leisurely: "Do you know why I didn't learn this swordsmanship like him in the years when I went up the mountain?"
Murong Lin frowned, thought for a long time, and said tentatively: "Even you don't understand?"
Li smiled and nodded, looking at Murong Lin's eyes revealing a teachable look of relief, Murong Lin suddenly stood up, turned around and walked back to the house with a disdainful face, not bothering to deal with him at all.
Li Bad laughed, and then looked at Li Zi's figure while eating melon seeds.
Seeing that the melons and fruits on the table were almost bottoming out, the plums here finally made some moves, and Li Bad, who wanted to stop looking at them, suddenly became interested and looked at the plums intently.
Under Li Bad's expectant gaze, Li Zi finally moved, only to see Li Zi's left hand that was originally placed on his chest slowly put down, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, after going back and forth a few times, he finally opened his eyes, walked to the stone table, sat down, reached out and grabbed a handful of dried fruits, and stuffed them into his mouth.
Li Bad's originally hopeful gaze instantly turned into the same disdain as Murong Lin Fangcai, and he looked at Li Zi and said, "I said Li Zi, when will you be able to take a sword for me to see?"
Li Zi looked at Li Bad inexplicably when he heard this, and he didn't react for a while, and asked vaguely: "What sword?" As soon as the words came out, Li Zi regretted it, and decisively covered the back of his head with both hands and lowered his head.
Li Bad raised his right hand unexpectedly, just looking at Li Zi's appearance, he couldn't take a picture, and said helplessly: "Li Zi, do you know why I always like to pat your head?"
After waiting for a long time, he didn't see Li Bad's hand, and secretly glanced at Li Bad, then let go of his hands and asked curiously, "Why?"
"Smack!", as soon as he let go, he ate a plum and covered his head again, and said aggrievedly: "I know, because I'm stupid!"
Hearing this answer, Li Bad was immediately very relieved, this kid finally knew a little about himself, and said with a smile: "I said Lizi, it's been so long, you don't have any feelings for this sword?"
Li Zi thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know how to answer, but he shook his head hard and told Li Bad bluntly, no!
Li Bad, who was about to say something, didn't say anything when a voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard.
"Brother Xian, I wanted to visit yesterday, but I didn't want to come back late, for fear of disturbing Brother Xian's dream, so I came early this morning to ask for sin, hehe" Zhao Xiong stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at Li Bad who was squatting on a chair with a smile.
When Li Bad heard this, he turned his head to look at Zhao Xiong, thinking in his heart, this literary crepe appearance is Zhao Xiong? Looking at the elegant demeanor, although he can't talk about being personable, he just doesn't say that this Zhao Xiaowang is tyrannical and unscrupulous in Suizhou City all the year round, no matter how you say it, it shouldn't be the appearance of such a weak scholar.
Looking at the cordial appearance of this virtuous brother, although it is not the right way with the Huai Wangfu, but the truth of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Li Bad still understands, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Brother Zhao is serious, how dare I blame, originally passed through Suizhou, I didn't want to disturb the purity of Huai Wangfu, but there was an accident when I entered the city, so I came to disturb, Brother Zhao don't blame me." ”
When Zhao Xiong heard this, his originally smiling face instantly changed to a blaming look, and he said in a slightly suppressed voice: "How can Brother Xian be so distant, if I call Brother Xian, you will call me Brother Xiong, how to say it, it can be regarded as a bit of a relative, besides, you have come to Suizhou City on this trip, how can you not come to the palace to be a guest, so strange, you should still have more contacts in the future, I hope you can't be so estranged anymore!"
I couldn't figure out that this kid was so kind, as if he was really his own brother, and Li Bad, who wanted to do something, couldn't say anything, so he replied with a smile: "That's the case, Brother Xiong will call me a little bad." ”
Zhao Xiong suddenly smiled, looked at Li Bad, who was still squatting on the chair, and blamed: "It's so good, I said Xiao Bad, this has said so much, why don't you invite me in, don't you want to see guests today?"
Hearing this, Li Bad suddenly made a gesture of invitation, and said: "Brother Xiong, please come in and talk, don't be in a hurry to blame first, it's just that I have been squatting here for a long time, and I am a little numb." Glancing at Zhao Xiong awkwardly, Li Bad turned his head to Li Zi and said, "Why are you stupid, help me quickly." ”
Over there, Zhao Xiong walked in crying and laughing, and said, "I said little bad, you are really, you are really casual, haha!"
