Chapter 269: Before and After
In the territory of Nanling, which is under the jurisdiction of the Great Qi Dynasty, there are countless famous mountains and rivers, but there are really several firsts.
The mountain is brighter, and the river is the moon.
Yueming Mountain is the largest mountain in Nanling, tall and incomparable, surrounded by clouds and mist all day long, it is difficult for ordinary people to see the true face of this mountain, but in a year, there will be a day different, that day there will be countless birds do not know why gathered on this Yueming Mountain, countless birds come together, enough to disperse all the clouds and mist, revealing the true face of this mountain, and often when the birds leave the next morning, the sky will fall several rays of light, so that Yueming Mountain becomes incomparably beautiful.
Not many people in the world have seen such a beautiful scenery with their own eyes, after all, no one knows which day this will be the case.
But over time, there will always be a few lucky people who have seen it, so there are actually pictures in the world that depict this scene, but there is still a big difference between the picture scroll and seeing it in person.
There are secular people who pursue this beautiful scenery can stay here for a year and a half, and one day they will be able to see this beautiful scenery, but the best place to see it is still at the top of the mountain.
However, on Yueming Mountain, not to mention poisonous insects, even tigers and leopards are a lot, and ordinary people are not to mention going to the top of the mountain, but they are afraid that if they enter the mountain in less than a day, they will definitely have no bones.
Besides, cultivators, although they are not afraid of tigers and leopards, but such cultivators have no obsession with these scenery, but what they want is to practice well, and if they want to go further and further on the path of cultivation, how can they stay here and look at these things.
Therefore, over the years, this Yueming Mountain has always been inaccessible.
However, half a month ago, a man and a woman climbed the mountain.
Plus a white deer.
The female sword fairy rode a white deer to climb the mountain, as if she was walking on the ground, whether it was a tiger or a leopard on the mountain, or a poisonous insect, she didn't dare to approach, especially when there was a scolding Liang Shiyi behind her.
After reaching the top of Yueming Mountain, the female sword fairy pointed to a clearing and said that she wanted to build a wooden house here.
Liang Shiyi nodded and said that the idea of the female sword immortal is very good, if you want to stay here for a while, then stay for a while.
It's not for a while, it doesn't matter how long you stay.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that after saying this sentence again, the female sword fairy turned her head to look at Liang Shiyi, and the white deer was too, turning her head to look at Liang Shiyi, who was shy.
Liang Shiyi said with a sad face: "I'm used to wandering, and I don't need to live in any house. ”
The female sword fairy nodded, seeming to agree.
After a while, Liang Shiyi slapped his head and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll build a house." ”
Liang Shizhi was not a carpenter, and he had never built any wooden houses, but he was a good sword cultivator, and in the next few days, the sword in his hand was unsheathed and cut a lot of wood on the mountain, and then cut it off one by one, polishing the appearance, and finally even knew that the outside was properly brushed with boiled pine oil.
After building a wooden house with wood, it took Liang Shizhi a few days, he didn't build a house, but soon built a wooden house hastily, and he also made a wooden bed for the rest of the wooden building, but it was just a habit, not exquisite.
Fortunately, after setting up the house, the female sword fairy didn't say anything, at least she didn't pick and choose, so she moved in.
There is only one wooden house, and after the female sword fairy lives in, Liang Shiyi can only live on the pine tree outside.
Every night, when he saw the faint light coming from the wooden house, and the foul white deer exhaling at it from the window, he was angry.
At this time, he didn't have any extravagance, he just thought about when there would be the most beautiful scene of that day, and after reading it, he could leave this ghost place.
But who knows, the more he looks forward to this, the more he can't get a good result, and after waiting for a full month, the day he wants never comes.
But fortunately, in the early morning of a month later, in the foggy weather, the woman Sword Fairy, who had not talked much these days, set up two chairs at the door of the wooden house, which was to invite Liang Shiyi to chat.
Liang Shiyi swept down from the tree and sat on the wooden chair, a little happy.
The female sword fairy sat down on the wooden chair next to her, and threw the remaining two pine cones in her hand to the white deer, who caught it steadily, chewed it, and made a lot of noise.
"Your sword path, why did you enter the realm so fast?" As soon as the female sword fairy spoke, it was a question that had bothered her for a long time, before the battle in the West Sea, she and he were still between the two of them, but as soon as these days passed, I don't know why, she could see the other party's realm with the naked eye, compared to before, it was too much improved.
You know, it's only been about a year.
As we all know, cultivators in the world, on the way of cultivation, the further back they go, the more difficult it becomes, and when they reach the current Jinque realm where Liang has been relicted, he is already standing at the top of the world, but just like that, he can still walk so quickly in a short period of one year.
Before, he was almost standing at the pinnacle of the Golden Gate, but now that he has taken a few steps, it is really difficult to say that he has an opponent in this world.
If the female sword fairy could still be equal to him before, she is no longer an opponent now, if she is still fighting in the West Sea now, I am afraid that she will lose very quickly.
Liang Shiyi smiled and said: "Looking at this world every day, looking at you, you don't lack anything, you are in a good mood, how can you not walk fast?"
The female sword immortal frowned and said, "Being in a good mood is good for cultivation?"
Liang Shizhi nodded, this truth may not apply to everyone, but for his kendo, this is a wise saying, he is in the world, maybe there are only three or five things to ask for, once these three or five things are done, then there is nothing else, and the growth of kendo will naturally be extremely fast.
Although in his mouth, this is a reasonable thing, in the eyes of the female sword immortal, he still doesn't understand.
Liang Shiyi suddenly said: "Have you ever thought that there are so few cultivators above the Golden Gate in this world, not because of the qualifications of these cultivators, but because of the problem of this world or cultivation method?"
In other words, even if you find it, thousands of years ago, there is not necessarily a problem with this cultivation method, perhaps because of the changes in heaven and earth, or because this cultivation method was explored by those practitioners at the beginning, but it is not complete, so that the later practitioners have not been able to cross the threshold of Jinque, of course, this is just Liang Shizhi's opinion, maybe it is not true.
The female sword fairy raised her eyebrows and said, "Compared to you, I've been thinking before, what is the place beyond the four seas?"
Liang Shiyi snorted and asked with some confusion: "Isn't it an overseas barbarian?"
The female sword immortal asked again, "What about outside the barbarians?"
Liang Shiyi was asked, he hadn't thought about this kind of thing, let alone seen it, but he thought that many of the cultivators of the past generations had come to the end of the Golden Gate, maybe they had seen it, but why didn't they leave a single rumor?
"So you want to go overseas?"
Liang Shizhi was not stupid in the end, and soon understood the thoughts of the female sword immortal.
The female sword fairy said: "I once heard a broken legend that this land is only this shore, and since this is the case, then there will definitely be another shore in this world. ”
"So where is the other side?"
The female sword fairy said, "If you have a chance in the future, go and see it for me." ”
Since there are legends, but there are no substantive things to circulate, then the only one who can touch this kind of truth must be a strong cultivator above the Golden Gate.
Liang Shiyi's realm is only a membrane away from that threshold.
The female sword immortal sighed: "There were many sword immortals back then, although they were all recorded in the annals of history and died in the world, but there are many that no one can see with their own eyes, some sword immortals are extremely talented, I think they are not worse than you, how can they die in the world like this?"
Liang Shizhi smiled and asked, "For example?"
The female sword fairy glanced at him, not knowing if he really didn't know or if he was pretending to be stupid, or if he really thought that his talent was the first person in the past.
"Evening clouds are real. ”
That's a figure that the female sword fairy has always regarded as an idol of kendo.
Wanyun Zhenren, a god of swordsmanship, has long been regarded by her as the strongest sword cultivation in the past thousand years, but it is a pity that she has never seen it.
Liang Shiyi said with a smile: "If you can see this real person one day, you must compete with him to see who is stronger." ”
The female sword fairy was noncommittal.
Two of the world's top sword cultivators, a conversation, the women's sword fairy is inseparable from the way of the sword, as for Liang Shiyi, although he doesn't want to say it, but if the beloved woman wants to talk like this, what can he do?
So after talking about those sword immortals who have become ancient, the female sword fairy talked about today's young people.
As for why they didn't mention the other sword immortals in the world, it was because the two of them were already the top two now, so what was the point of mentioning these sword immortals?
After all, no matter how strong they are, they are stronger than the two of them.
In fact, the night before, these two people really discussed, if it was the Jinque Sword Immortal in the world, counting ten people joining forces, whether the two of them could win together.
When Liang Shizhi said very exaggeratedly, let alone ten people, even if it is a hundred, what does it matter? But soon he said seriously, ten people may not be able to win, but they can save their lives, if it is only eight people, it should be able to tie, about six people, that is, with one enemy three, then it should be able to kill all under the condition of paying a heavy price.
As for the two-to-four vs. four, it was an easy big win.
It can be seen from this that the gap between the cultivators in the Golden Gate Realm is actually not small, but if you really want to find out so much, it will not be easy to do it.
But I have to say that the current kendo of the two of them is indeed one level higher than the pile of people who are ranked behind such as Lan Lin Zhenren.
Speaking of the younger generation, the four people who can't get around are also Gu Ming, Su Su, Liang Zhao and the senior brothers of Jianfu.
These four people, it is not good to say, they will be evenly divided in the future.
Liang Shiyi shook his head and said: "Liang Zhao is the master of the Gengxin sword, and he is born to be a head above them, but Gu Ming, this little guy, has learned my sixteen swords, and in the past few years, he should be able to press Liang Zhao to the death, but this cultivation day is long, and the future will be clear?"
The female sword immortal did not refute, but still said: "As the Gengxin sword master, Liang Zhao has been pressed by others in the early stage, and it is useless for Yu Jianxin, if the situation is not reversed later, once the sword heart collapses, maybe it will not even be as good as that sword embryo." ”
The female sword fairy and these young people have no friendship, and everything she says is on the facts.
Liang Shiyi smiled and said: "I really can't figure it out sometimes, since there is going to be a kendo genius in this world, why don't you give him all the best things about kendo?
The female sword fairy smiled and said, "Is there really someone who is perfect?"
Liang Shizhi was puzzled: "Am I not?"
The female sword immortal raised her eyebrows, glanced at Liang Shiyi, and suddenly said, "You can walk so fast, maybe it's also a natural sword embryo or something?"
Liang Shiyi smiled dryly: "How come?"
He is not a Gengxin Sword Master, of course this is a certainty, first of all, in that sea of stars, there are no two white sword stars, and secondly, there has never been a Gengxin Sword Master who has appeared two at the same time in the same era.
In history, the two Gengxin sword masters were closest to each other, and there was also a gap period of a hundred years during the period.
Liang Shizhi rubbed his head, skipped the topic and said, "Don't say so much, just say when you will marry me?"
The female sword immortal said calmly: "Why do you think you marry me?"
"My identity as the leader of the kendo is not good?"
The female sword fairy snorted, "If you want to marry me, defeating me is just the starting point, why are you so confident?"
Liang Shizhi didn't speak, he only felt that the woman in front of him, although it was difficult, but he was not in a hurry, he still had many years to achieve this goal, but if he achieved it too early, he felt that there was less fun.
The two of them went around and around, talked a lot, and finally discussed whether the two of them would become the number one sword sect in the world in one fell swoop if they started a sect.
At the end of the twilight, the fog suddenly lifted a little.
There are countless birds flying in the sky, and all kinds of birdsong are endless.
Through the fog, you can't see it really.
But soon it was clear again.
Because of the thousands of birds that flew by, it didn't take much time to disperse all the fog, so after so long, Liang Shiyi saw the sunset on the horizon for the first time.
He was a little distracted for a moment.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, countless birds hover in the sky, and colorful feathers are scattered in the sky.
It's beautiful to look at.
Liang Shiyi has been immersed in this beautiful scenery.
But the words of the female sword immortal, a sentence pulled him out of the scenery in front of him.
"I don't know if so many birds will poop down. ”
The women's sword fairy is serious, and it doesn't look like a joke at all.
Liang Shizhi suddenly remembered that when he was young, when he heard that Mr. Storyteller was talking about books, he talked about those beautiful women who were like fairies, like fairies above the nine heavens. ”
Liang Shiyi was shocked at the time, thinking that such a woman would also in the thatched house, which was really annoying.
This is a thing that he actually never forgot until he practiced.
But later, I learned that after the cultivator practiced, he would naturally open the valley, and after the valley, he would naturally not, so he felt comfortable.
Otherwise, even if she thinks about the unparalleled posture of a female sword immortal in the world, she still has to, which really makes her scalp tingle.
Before you know it, the sky is dark, and the birds are also landing on the treetops, perched quietly.
At this time, the female sword fairy spoke again, "Why do these flying birds come here once a year?"
This is the spirit of curiosity, if he asked the master like this in the school when he was studying in the past, the master would definitely be happy, but Liang Shizhi is not the master, so he can't give an answer.
So the two of them didn't say anything all night.
Neither of them got up, but waited for the morning glow.
But damn it, I don't know why, it started to rain in the middle of the night.
In this way, tomorrow morning, where will there be any morning glow.
Liang Shiyi reached out and took a handful of rainwater and muttered, "On such a good day, you just did these things for me?"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the distance with a curse, and somehow there was an extra sword in his hand.
As he walked, he slashed out with a sword.
It seems to be a random sword, but there are thousands of sword qi gathered, countless sword qi, countless sword qi surging towards the sky, in a moment, there is rain here in front of the sword qi forced to separate, the momentum of heaven and earth, at this moment, it seems that it is impossible to compete with Liang Shiji's sword qi at all.
A moment later, the sword qi had reached the sea of clouds.
Then cut through the clouds.
And the sword qi did not disperse, pushing those dark clouds towards the distance.
Liang Shi put away his sword, and there was no rain in the sky, so he returned to the wooden house and sat down again.
The female sword fairy sighed with emotion: "I know, your sword way, others can't learn it." ”
"That's your human problem, not the sword's problem. ”
The women's sword fairy said a word to break the sword path of the beam.
Liang Shiyi smiled and said, "Not necessarily, my half of the apprentices may understand." ”
The female sword fairy smiled and didn't say much, but these days she often heard Liang Shiyi mention that young man, and she was actually thinking about when to go to see him.
The two were speechless again, and in a flash, it was already getting dark.
As the birds in the trees flutter their wings and fly, one by one the birds leave Yueming Mountain, and the morning glow slowly grows in the sky, which is extremely beautiful.
Liang Shiyi and the female sword fairy looked up at the same time, and they were both in a trance.
The sea view of the West Sea is very beautiful, but after seeing it for many years, it will always get tired, and now the sunrise of Yueming Mountain is also very beautiful, and the female sword fairy suddenly felt that she had not taken such a trip in vain.
She lightly opened her lips and said softly: "Seeing the morning glow here, how can it be like Qingqiu?"
——
Before Emperor Ning Qi left Yingdu, he ate a plate of fish trays in a small fish tarther restaurant, sandwiched the fish tart, dipped it in a special sauce, Ning Qi Emperor put it in his mouth, swallowed it slowly, and said to the old boss: "The fish is shipped slowly, and the taste is not as good as before, I think it is because Da Qi is not careful." ”
The old man, who was already gray-haired and covered with age spots all over his body, smiled abruptly: "This fish belly, in the end, only Nanchu people like to eat it, how do those barbarians of Daqi know the deliciousness in it." ”
Emperor Ning Qi smiled and asked, "What about the bean curd?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then muttered: "Yes, that bean curd is not liked by few people in Southern Chu." ”
Speaking of this, he didn't know why, so he cried, old tears, holding on to the table, this old man, thought of something that he deliberately ignored on weekdays.
Sufu is a specialty of Southern Chu, it is something that has been passed down for hundreds of years, but in the end, not many Southern Chu people like to eat this thing, and fish is now also the favorite food of Southern Chu people, but what about many years later?
Are there any people in the world who like to eat fish belly? Are there still Nanchu people in the world?
Nanchu is long gone, so what about the people of Nanchu?
Emperor Ning Qi shook his head, stood up, didn't say anything, stepped out of this fish restaurant, and as soon as his body moved, he had already arrived at the seaside.
Nanchu is near the sea and is rich in marine fish.
So there is a thing that the people of Southern Chu like to eat fish belly.
Emperor Ning Qi looked at the vast sea and said, "Those sailors of mine set out from here and crossed the ocean. ”
The red hair stood in place, not daring or willing to say more.
Emperor Ning Qi walked slowly along the coast, raised his eyebrows and said: "Good things don't last long, they always turn into desolation. ”
After saying this, he didn't speak anymore, just walked, red hair followed behind him, and somehow, in a blink of an eye, the two came to the East China Sea.
On the shore of the East China Sea, there is a sea-viewing building.
There is a scholar in the Guanhai Building, called Meng Qiuchi.
Standing on the reef, Emperor Ning Qi, who glanced at it from afar, did not find that Meng Qiuchi was in that sea-viewing building, the lord of the East China Sea, thinking that he should be somewhere in the world at this moment, but definitely not in the East China Sea.
Turn around and walk along the coast.
The tide of the East China Sea is not the season at this moment, so Emperor Ning Qi said that he came to see the tide, which was originally an untenable statement.
Fortunately, the red hair was never taken seriously.
Your Majesty, whatever you say is what you say.
Walking slowly along the reef, I don't know why, a stone cave appeared in front of me.
Emperor Ning Qi stood here, silent for a moment, and then slowly walked forward.
Walking towards the cave, the more you walked, the more you could hear voices coming from inside.
When I reached the end, I saw a huge portrait painted on the stone wall in front of me.
In the portrait, a man dressed in a white imperial robe sits on a dragon chair.
That's an emperor.
Red hair raises eyebrows.
The style of the emperor's robe is very similar to Daning's imperial robe, but if you look closely, there is a difference.
Long history, in the annals, the emperor wore a white imperial robe of the dynasty, except for the Daning Dynasty, there is only a corner of Southern Chu like this.
So speaking of which, this is the portrait of a certain monarch in Southern Chu?
Emperor Ning Qi said: "The children and grandchildren of future generations will be such a brilliant person. ”
Red hair asked, "Your Majesty, who is this person?"
Emperor Ning Qi shook his head.
"Who?!"
Suddenly there was a voice in the cave, and in the shadows, an old man came out, and he looked at the two uninvited guests, but only glanced at them, and was stunned on the spot.
His pale beard trembled, and his hands trembled even more.
"You are ......"
Emperor Ning Qi didn't speak.
"I'm not him. ”
The old man knelt down with a pout, weeping bitterly, unwilling to get up for a long time.
Emperor Ning Qi said with emotion: "It's another story. ”
