Volume 1 Oriental Name Chapter 61 Reunion
Weihai City is worthy of being a super city with a scale comparable to the imperial capitals of Dongfang City and White Eagle City, and in the next three days, White Tiger Guard helped Murong Ye collect the two main materials and more than a dozen auxiliary materials needed to upgrade the Traveler's Ring.
Murong Ye was very glad that Ou Yangmingli had sent a message to him to wait here, otherwise he would miss out on these two main materials.
The two main materials newly collected were red silkworm leaves and twin pearls.
Among the materials required to upgrade the Ring of the Traverser, there are only a few metal ores like the Ink Realm Stone, and the rest are all strange things like sapphires, red silkworm leaves, and twin pearls.
On the afternoon of the third day after Murong Ye returned from Dongji Peak, Ouyang Mingli, Han Yuli, Bai Jianli and Gao Ting came to visit.
Murong Ye, who had been informed by the White Tiger Guard, hurriedly stopped his cultivation and personally went outside the door to greet him. Regardless of whether Ouyang Mingli really recognized his identity or not, the number of courtesies that he should have as a junior disciple was not something that could not be lost.
After seeing Ou Yangmingli and the others, Murong Ye bowed his hand and didn't wait to speak, Ou Yangmingli waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it when we enter the house!"
Murong Ye nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and motioned for Ou Yangmingli and the others to go first. Ou Yangmingli was also unceremonious, and swaggered into the inner hall first.
Han Yuli, Bai Jianli and Gao Ting looked at Murong Ye curiously as they followed into the inner hall. Ou Yangmingli hadn't told them Murong Ye's identity or the reason for seeing Murong Ye until now, so they were still confused.
After entering the room, Murong Ye invited Han Yuli and Ou Yangmingli to sit in the main seat, and let Gao Ting and Gao Yanli sit on the seat opposite him.
Han Yuli originally hesitated to sit in the main seat, but after seeing Ou Yangmingli sit down with peace of mind, he didn't say anything and sat down. Gao Ting and Bai Jian Li naturally sat down with the crowd.
After Xiaoya and Xiaoyue sent refreshments, they were sent away by Murong Ye. In addition to Ouyang Mingli's four people in the room, only Murong Ye and Wang Teng were left.
Ou Yangmingli's gaze flashed over Wang Teng's body, and then fell on Murong Ye, who teased Murong Ye with his signature smile.
"What, do you still have the luck that we haven't seen through your identity, Senior Brother Murong?"
"He's Senior Brother Murong?"
Han Yuli and Bai Jianli were shocked when they heard this, and looked at the white-haired boy in front of them who looked like they were fourteen or fifteen years old, and they were very incredulous. It was difficult for them to connect Ye Bai with the eight-year-old pink Murong Ye they were familiar with.
When Gao Ting returned to Si Jianfeng before, Murong Ye and Si Yijian were in retreat, so although he knew that there was such a little junior brother as Murong Ye, he didn't know Murong Ye's true appearance, so he just looked at Murong Ye curiously, but he was not surprised by Murong Ye's current appearance.
"Haha, the second senior brother's eyes are really like torches!"
Seeing that his careful thoughts were pierced by Ou Yangmingli's face, Murong Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly and immediately lifted the disguise of fluctuating body shape and cultivation, revealing the true appearance of his eight-year-old child.
Wang Teng, who was standing quietly on the side, immediately stepped forward to intimately sort out Murong Ye's clothes that had become wide.
Murong Ye directly revealed the Grandmaster's early cultivation this time, and did not disguise it again. After the previous assassination, it would be too strange for him to disguise his cultivation as a master in Si Jian Peak again.
Murong Ye in the early stage of the master was naturally unable to be invincible under the attack of the black-clothed masked man of the great grandmaster! After all, it was already very reluctant for Murong Ye in the early stage of the grandmaster to be able to do this.
As for the matter of Xiu Wei suddenly changing from the pre-master stage to the pre-grandmaster stage, Murong Ye did not plan to take the initiative to explain. He had been acting outside in the guise of the late stage of the Grandmaster realm before, which already showed that he had exercises that could change the fluctuations of cultivation.
This point, in fact, has been answered in disguise.
Murong Ye waited for Wang Teng to tidy up his clothes before solemnly bowing his hand to Ouyang Mingli and the others again. Keeping a neat dress when saluting others is also an essential sign of politeness.
"Murong Ye has seen Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, Senior Brother Gao Ting and Senior Brother Bai, it was really helpless to hide his identity before, and I ask Senior Sister and all senior brothers to forgive me. ”
Ou Yangmingli originally watched with a smile as Murong Ye recovered his body and cultivation fluctuated, but after seeing that Murong Ye's white hair had not changed, his brows immediately furrowed, and he looked at Murong Ye carefully, and his face became more and more solemn.
"Senior Brother Murong, your body ......"
Although Ou Yangmingli couldn't completely see through how Murong Ye's body became like this, he still keenly saw that Murong Ye's state was very bad.
After Ou Yangmingli's reminder, Han Yuli and Bai Jian Li realized that although Murong Ye's cultivation had improved compared to before, his physical condition had become much worse than before. The joy of reunion in their hearts was instantly diluted, and their faces became solemn.
Murong Ye smiled indifferently and said lightly: "Second Senior Brother doesn't have to worry, it's just that he has some internal injuries." ”
Although Murong Ye said it lightly, Ouyang Mingli and the others could guess that Murong Ye's experience must have been very difficult, so his solemn face did not improve much.
Seeing this, Murong Ye hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I am still quite confident in my disguise, and until now I have not figured out how the second senior brother saw through it, and I asked the second senior brother to give me advice." ”
Ou Yangmingli knew that Murong Ye didn't want to mention the previous assassination, so he sighed and decided not to continue the previous topic. However, in his heart, he secretly made up his mind to take revenge on the culprits of the Eastern Empire, the Xu family and the Chen family.
Ou Yangmingli showed his signature smiling expression, and asked with a slight sense of examination, "Senior Brother Murong, what do you think is a human being, and what is a sword?"
"What is a man, and what is a sword?"
Murong Ye was stunned by Ou Yangmingli's somewhat inexplicable question, he knew that what Ou Yangmingli wanted was not a straightforward answer like "people are people, and swords are swords", so he didn't rush to answer but thought about it secretly in his heart.
The rest of the people were also stunned for a moment when they heard Ou Yangmingli's question, and they all thought about it.
Murong Ye thought for a long time, until Ou Yangmingli slowly drank a cup of tea and didn't come up with a decent answer, he didn't even understand what these two questions had to do with Ou Yangmingli seeing through his disguise, so he could only shake his head helplessly to Ou Yangmingli.
"The night is dull, and I ask the second senior brother to solve my doubts. ”
Ou Yangmingli smiled and stood up, pulled out his saber from behind him, stared at the saber with a deep gaze, and slowly spoke.
"My generation practiced the way of the sword, practiced the sword with the sword, practiced the sword with oneself, held the sword to kill the enemy, and killed the enemy with oneself. What's the difference between a man and a sword?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
Gao Ting's eyes lit up as if he had gained something, the dimness in Han Yuli's eyes flashed and disappeared, Murong Ye and Bai Jian Li felt that they didn't understand or not, and Wang Teng couldn't see his thoughts with expressionless faces.
Everyone behaved differently, and the depth of their understanding of kendo was judged.
Ou Yangmingli took in everyone's reactions, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his words were very meaningful.
"A man can be a sword that kills people, but why can't a sword be a sword practitioner? Even if you change your body shape and disguise yourself, in my eyes, you will always be you. ”
Murong Ye's body shook, and he had a feeling of uncertainty. He vaguely felt as if he understood something, but when he thought about it, he found that he didn't seem to understand anything.
Ou Yangmingli smiled, knowing that his words were not something that everyone could figure out immediately, so he changed the topic and said, "Senior Brother Murong, what are your plans for this matter?"
Murong Ye didn't hide, and said directly: "Back to the second senior brother, I plan to go back to the Eastern Empire to deal with some trivial matters, and then go back to Si Jian Peak to cultivate." ”
Ou Yangmingli had expected Murong Ye's answer, so he was not surprised.
"Master has an order, let Senior Sister and I escort you back to Si Jian Peak, but I didn't say that you should return to Si Jian Peak immediately. Since you have something to do to go to the Eastern Empire, then Senior Sister and I will go with you. ”
Murong Ye paused, bowed to Han Yuli and Ou Yangming, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother." ”
Murong Ye thanked not only that Han Yuli and Ou Yangmingli wanted to protect him back to the Eastern Empire, but also that he had done everything for him before Xie and the others. Although he didn't know that Ou Yangmingli and the three of them had gone to Xue Guobaicheng for him, he also understood that the three of Ou Yangmingli had secretly done a lot for him these times.
Therefore, after Murong Ye saluted Han Yuli and Ou Yangming, he also signaled to Bai Jianli.
Han Yuli only spoke at this time, and said, "Then let's leave early tomorrow morning! Even if the master does not stipulate a time limit for returning to Si Jian Peak, there will still be people outside who are holding back to calculate Senior Brother Murong, so it is better for us to return to Si Jian Feng as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, Senior Sister!"
Ou Yangmingli and Murong Ye saluted Han Yuli at the same time. Although the real person between Han Yuli and Ou Yangmingli is Ou Yangmingli, Ouyang Mingli has never lacked respect and love for Han Yuli.
After that, Gao Ting chatted with everyone for a while and then left. Because Gao Ting has a class early tomorrow morning, he has to rush back to the East Pole Peak tonight to prepare.
Bai Jian Li came to the Dawn Martial Arts Academy this time to be a swordsmanship teacher for a period of time to practice, so he also left with Gao Ting.
Han Yuli and Ou Yangmingli stayed in this mansion, and they had already been to the Martial Arts Academy on the East Pole Peak before they came to see Murong Ye. The people who should have visited have already been visited, so naturally there is no need for them to go to the East Pole Peak again.
Murong Ye is not suitable to act as Murong Ye, a named disciple of Si Yijian, so he is exempted from visiting the Martial Arts Academy.
Nothing to say all night!
Early the next morning, Ouyang Mingli and Han Yuli joined Murong Ye's original team together, went out of the West City Gate, and went straight to the Eastern Empire in the southwest. Their next first stop was Qingyang City, located in the east of the Eastern Empire.
At this time, Murong Ye had once again disguised himself as Ye Bai, a young master in the late stage of the Grandmaster who looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old.
Although he followed Han Yuli and Ou Yangmingli together, Murong Ye still felt that it was better to maintain his disguise.
Murong Ye believed that even if others saw him walking with Si Yijian's two great disciples, it would be difficult to equate "Ye Bai", who was completely different in body shape and cultivation, with Si Yijian's named disciple Murong Ye.
After all, there were only a handful of people in the entire Dongzhou Continent who could have such superb sword attainments as Ouyang Mingli.
