Volume 1 The Rise of Dingxi Chapter 98
Jingping Town.
Ye Wei looked at the dust raised by Huo Wang's distant horse's hooves and smiled.
"Let's go, I don't even look at it, what else are you watching!"
He kicked the lame goose at his feet and said.
In fact, Huo Wang didn't want to leave.
He also wanted to talk to Ye Wei here and have a few glasses of wine.
Although in the past few days, they have not spoken much.
Because most of the time it's drinking.
Ye Wei and Huo Wang drank very strangely.
They don't seem to be very willing to talk when they drink.
It's just drinking cup after cup.
As long as you sit facing each other like this, it will be very comfortable.
Although the two hadn't seen each other for almost twenty years, they should have had a lot to say, but they were still willing to sit quietly so quietly.
There is no higher level of being a friend than this.
That is, you don't feel embarrassed if you don't speak.
Compared with Liu Ruiying's constant search for topics in order not to be cold, it is obviously much more natural.
Although Ye Wei said that he was leaving.
But he still looked at Huo Wang's back and left Jingping Town, and only turned back after setting foot on the land of Dingxi Royal Domain again.
"Is it delaying you?"
Ye Wei suddenly said out of thin air.
The lame wild goose at his feet looked up at him suspiciously.
After getting along for a long time, even livestock can have a heart.
Ye Wei ignored it.
He poked the lame goose's ass again with his toes, signaling him to leave.
This time, the lame wild goose did not have any dissatisfaction, and did not even bend his wings, so he left quietly and walked to the back kitchen of the canteen.
"Don't delay, what you want to do will be done sooner or later. It makes no difference a little earlier and a little later. β
A voice rang out.
A red shadow fell in front of Ye Wei.
"I didn't expect that the former supreme onmyoji 'Taibai' could endure loneliness so much. β
The man said.
He was dressed in black, wrapped in a big red robe.
Apparently also a red-robed guest.
But he was different from the red-robed guest before.
The red robe on the red-robed guest who was killed by the original people on the Leyou Plain was more like a coat.
You can cover your whole body inside.
And the red robe on his body is just a cloak.
The cloak can only cover the back, but it can't cover the front body.
"I've already seen through the world, what else do I want to achieve?"
Ye Wei said.
"But you, why bother to meddle in this world?"
Ye Wei then asked.
"You said that you have seen through the world, don't you have a bond?"
The man asked.
"I didn't get involved. β
Ye Wei said.
"Yes, you and Huo Wang are drinking, and Huo Wang is your bond. Even if you drink alone, this wine is still your bond. β
The man said.
"According to you, as long as you live in the world, it is impossible to be free from bonds. β
Ye Wei said.
"That's right, as long as you live, there are bonds. β
The man nodded.
"There are enough people who have died, let alone you ......"
Ye Wei was halfway through his words, but suddenly stopped.
Because since the other party is standing in front of him, it is meaningless to say anything.
"You want to kill Huo Wang in Jingping Town?"
Ye Wei asked.
The man shook his head.
"Then you want to kill me in Jingping Town?"
Ye Wei asked again.
The man shook his head anyway.
"I'm here to ask you for something. β
The man said.
"What else can't you Tieguanyin get? That is, the throne of the Five Great Princes. β
Ye Wei said with a smile.
Although he used to be one of the five supreme onmyoji, now he is just a bad old man who runs a restaurant in Jingping Town and drinks when he is bored.
"I've come to you to ask for the inheritance of the Supreme Onmyoji 'Taibai'. β
Tie Guanyin said.
He is the organization to which the red-robed guest belongs, the lord of the big red robe.
Only the big red cloak on his body is the real big red robe.
The rest of the red-robed guests are nothing more than a symbol.
"The inheritance has long been passed down from generation to generation, and I am nothing now. β
Ye Wei spread his hands and said.
"The inheritance written on paper can be given, but the inheritance in the mind is afraid that it will be left in this life. β
Tie Guanyin said.
"How can I give you the inheritance in my head?"
Ye Wei asked rhetorically.
"The inheritance on paper is also written according to what is in your head, and since you have it in your head, you can naturally write another one. β
Tie Guanyin said.
"You're right, but it's a pity ......"
Ye Wei said.
"What a pity?"
Tie Guanyin thought that he had moved Ye Wei, and asked extremely urgently.
"It's a pity I'm not available. β
Ye Wei said.
After speaking, he dragged his not very dexterous left leg and walked forward.
Just took half a step.
He saw that in Tie Guanyin's black and red robes, a moment of golden light flashed.
Tieguanyin came out with his sword.
The sword he used was the same as the sword used by the red-robed guest.
It's all golden swords.
It's just that his golden sword is more radiant than the golden sword used by the red-robed guest.
Although the golden light of the golden sword is even more dazzling.
But his red robe did not smell of blood.
On the contrary, there is a faint smell of gardenias.
Ye Wei saw him draw his sword, lowered his head and sighed heavily.
He whistled in the direction of his dining hall.
As soon as the whistle fell, I saw the lame wild goose flying over with the rusty wood knife in the back hall.
It turns out that it can fly.
The people in Jingping Town thought that the wild goose was not only lame, but also had broken wings.
Because no one has ever seen it actually fly.
At most, it is a few flutters of wings and a lot of jumping up and down.
The highest can only fly to the dining table or the stove.
Maybe it's because I've been with people for a long time.
This habit is also on par with that of human beings.
However, this priority is still known in the heart of the lame geese.
After all, Ye Wei didn't call it with a whistle very often.
At first, it was when Ye Wei saw it in the grass.
It was indeed wounded in its wings at the time.
Geese live in groups.
Eat and rest together, come and return together.
Once the wings are injured, it is unable to keep up with the speed of the large army.
I can only be lonely in the grass.
When Ye Wei saw it, it had just gone through a night of life and death struggle.
Because the wild cat in the grass has long been eyeing this lone injured goose.
It's all about survival, who can let go of such a fat feast?
Normally, the wild cats can only look up at the flock of geese.
I imagined in my heart how delicious the muscles and flesh of these geese would be when they fluttered their wings and flew every day.
Now, it's all at hand.
How can you not be tempted?
The geese have lost the ability to fly, and they are more pitiful than mice.
Rats at least have rat holes to burrow into to avoid suspicion.
But the geese can no longer fly in the sky.
But it's lucky.
Only one sole of foot was lost.
His life was saved.
But it was just one night.
If it hadn't touched Ye Wei, it wouldn't have survived tonight anyway.
When Ye Wei saw it, the wild goose was already dying.
Ye Wei whistled at it.
Obviously, it was also amazed why there was a wild goose lying alone in the grass.
It crushed its wounded leg under its feathers.
The injured wings drooped down, covering them from the side.
So Ye Wei could only see blood stains in the grass around the wild goose.
Ye Wei reached out and picked him up.
The wild goose struggled, trying to lift up his strength again and use his not-so-sharp mouth to tap his hand.
But it didn't even have the strength to do that.
"Broken leg......?
Ye Wei looked at the broken leg that the wild goose drooped down and muttered to himself.
I don't know if I remembered my legs.
Ye Wei finally brought the wild goose back.
One person and one goose, just lived in Jingping Town.
In its heart, Ye Wei's whistle was always very urgent.
Others may be whistling because they are in a good mood.
But Ye Wei is not.
He only whistles when he's in the most anxious.
Ye Wei's explanation for this is that he is stupid and slow-witted.
In a hurry, I couldn't think of what to say, so I could only whistle.
The lame wild goose threw the firewood knife in front of Ye Wei.
Ye Wei held it in the air.
He blew lightly on the wood knife.
Blowing off the dust on the chai knife, but not the rust on the chai knife.
"Is this your knife?"
Tie Guanyin asked playfully.
"Why don't you ask directly, is this also a knife?"
Ye Wei said.
His mouth is not stupid.
The brain is not slow, either.
How can a person who can still make jokes and self-deprecation in such a situation be a person with a stupid mouth and a slow brain?
Perhaps he just felt that language was too barren, and sometimes it was better to express his thoughts than a whistle.
"Are you also a knife?"
Tie Guanyin immediately changed his words and asked again.
Ye Wei grinned.
He didn't expect that this world-moving Tieguanyin would still be such a humorous person.
Because most people are known for their ruthlessness and don't know how to be humorous.
Huo Wang is also famous all over the world.
But he doesn't know how to be humorous.
Especially don't understand Ye Wei's humor.
Ye Wei felt that in the years when he became one of the five supreme onmyoji 'Taibai', he had only seen through one truth in this world.
That is, a humorous person must be famous in the world, but a person who is famous in the world is not necessarily humorous.
Once a humorous person is famous all over the world, this person must be bigger than a person who is not humorous, and he will be longer than a person who is not humorous.
Looking at this reason, Tieguanyin is indeed in line.
"I only have this knife now. β
Ye Wei said.
"Where are your former knives?"
Tie Guanyin asked.
"In the past, the knife was too long, and it was inconvenient to chop wood and vegetables. You don't cook with a hoe or shovel, do you?"
Ye Wei said.
"The taste of the rice made with a hoe and shovel must be unusual. β
Tie Guanyin said.
Ye Wei's mouth grinned even wider.
He felt that this Tieguanyin was really extraordinary, and he knew how to be humorous.
And it's very compatible with myself.
It's a pity that he is now bent on what he can't give him.
Otherwise, Ye Wei really wanted to study with him how to use this hoe and shovel to cook.
"Have you eaten?"
Ye Wei asked.
"I didn't. β
Tie Guanyin said.
"If you hadn't pointed your sword at me, I'd have tried to make it for you. β
Ye Wei said.
He speaks whatever comes to mind.
I never knew what a cover-up was.
Because his eyes have seen too much, and his hands have been soaked too much.
So far, there is really no need to cover it up.
"If I hadn't pointed my sword against you, I would have eaten your cooking. You can do without hoes and shovels. β
Tie Guanyin said.
"Then as long as you die, are you willing to study and study cooking with a hoe and shovel with me?"
Ye Wei asked.
"As long as it can make me die, even if you cook for me to eat, I'm willing to taste it. β
Tie Guanyin said.
"You can't taste it, you have to eat it all!"
Ye Wei said.
"Not only will I eat them all, but I'll also add some water to the pot I used to cook and drink. β
Tie Guanyin said.
It was even more thorough than what Ye Wei said.
Some people are humorous to themselves and outwardly ruthless.
Some people have an outward sense of humor and are themselves.
Tieguanyin is clearly the latter.
But Ye Wei has never seen a person who is ruthless on the outside and is ruthless to himself, or humorous on the outside, and humorous to himself.
Those who are fierce on the outside and are also cruel to themselves are wicked people.
Ye Wei never felt that there were real villains in this world.
Everyone just has their own choices and different circumstances.
Those who are humorous on the outside, and humorous to themselves, are fools.
Ye Wei has never been endless, there are real fools in this world.
Except for the congenital ones, the rest is just because he doesn't want to understand and is too lazy to understand.
"Do you want to sharpen your knives? I can wait for you. β
Tie Guanyin said.
"No need. β
Ye Wei said.
"I could have waited for you. β
Tie Guanyin said.
"I'm not saying I don't have to sharpen my sword, I mean I'm afraid there will never be a better whetstone in the world than your golden sword. β
Ye Wei said.
Tie Guanyin also grinned.
Although he is a very humorous person.
But his laughter is obviously much higher than Ye Wei's.
Ye Wei had already grinned twice.
But he only had one time.
"So what's the way we play?"
Ye Wei asked.
"Let you sharpen your knives first!"
Tie Guanyin said, the red robe flying.
The golden sword slashed out a burst of energy from top to bottom.
The head of the hatchet knife has an upturned arc.
Ye Wei reversed the blade.
With a slight hook of this upturned arc on the tip of the knife, he hooked this golden sword qi.
Immediately, Ye Wei pulled down.
This extremely powerful golden sword qi was broken like a chopstick.
"Not ...... enough"
Ye Wei looked at his firewood knife, shook his head and said.
"What's not enough?"
Tie Guanyin asked.
"There's not enough strength, there's not enough friction. You have to know that not only does the sharpening knife have to be strong, but the whetstone has to be rough enough. Especially for my hatchet, which has been rusted like this, the strength and friction just now are not enough. β
Ye Wei said.
"How much is missing?"
Tie Guanyin asked.
"At least that's half the way there...... I can't say how much. After all, I have never sharpened this chai knife, so I can only try it little by little. β
Ye Wei said.
"Okay. β
Tie Guanyin nodded.
Where is this like two people in contention?
It's like two good friends playing.
Tieguanyin once again cleaved out a burst of energy.
Ye Wei gently hooked it with the barb of the tip of the knife as usual, and then pulled it hard.
"Huh?"
Ye Wei felt that the tenacity of this sword qi was much better than the previous one.
"How's it going?"
Tie Guanyin asked.
"It's much better than just now, but it's more flexible than strong. But it's still a little bit close......"
Ye Wei shook his head and said.
Tie Guanyin also leaked a look of embarrassment when he heard this.
He scratched his head.
I feel that this situation is a bit like the way he first learned swordsmanship when he was a child.
"I'll try again......"
Tie Guanyin said.
After all, if you want to help him sharpen his knife first, you will naturally have to do it.
In addition to humor, people who can make a name for themselves in the world also have a trait that is not the same.
What is said, it must be done.
Not a little more, but definitely not compromised either.
Tie Guanyin adjusted his posture with the sword.
At one point, he even changed his sword from his right hand to his left hand.
"Hurry up! What are you rubbing?!"
Ye Wei said impatiently.
"A little nervous...... Sorry sorry, just come!"
Tie Guanyin said.
There are no bystanders in this battle.
If there is, I will be surprised that I even dislocated my jaw.
The duel between 'Taibai', who was once one of the five supreme onmyoji, and Tie Guanyin, the lord of the big red robe, would be such a frolicking opening.
And Ye Wei also blamed Tieguanyin for being too slow.
Tieguanyin admitted that he was nervous, and apologized because of Ye Wei's blame.
There is no such legendary bridge in the novel.
But in reality, it's really happening.
Tieguanyin finally adjusted himself.
He slashed his sword again.
This sword aura was not as magnificent as before.
Instead, it's extremely small.
It's like an embroidery needle, drizzle.
So much so that Ye Wei couldn't use the barb on the tip of the knife at all.
He only measured the blade slightly, and slashed at this sword qi.
"Dangchang!"
The rust on the firewood knife fell off a piece the size of a grain of rice.
"There's a door!"
Tie Guanyin said excitedly when he saw a star of cold light coming out of the knife after the rust fell.
"Yes, there is a door!"
Ye Wei looked at the blade of the knife and said happily.
"But you're too bad ......"
Ye Wei said with a change of words.
"What's wrong? Isn't it already a piece gone?"
Tieguanyin was puzzled.
"It's a piece missing, but look at how big it is?
Ye Wei asked.
Tie Guanyin nodded.
He really didn't eat today.
I only drank some well water in Jingping Town.
"Can you eat a grain of rice when you eat? Similarly, the rust of this grain of rice has fallen off, when will this knife be sharpened? If you are not in a hurry, I will cook at night in a hurry! I want to make money!"
Ye Wei said.
"I'm afraid that it will tire you and me to death, and this knife will not be sharpened well. β
Tie Guanyin pouted and said.
"Why don't you use a sword to scrape off all the rust on it?"
Tie Guanyin said and handed over his golden sword.
"No, no, no, that's not interesting. β
Ye Wei shook his head and said.
Seeing him frowning, it seemed that he was also thinking of something else.
"Sharpen the knife with your sword, and naturally the sword must be in your hand. If I take it and scrape it off the rust, I might as well go to the well in the town and grind it off. β
Ye Wei said.
"Makes sense, then do it again!"
Tie Guanyin raised his sword again as he spoke.
"Dangchang!"
A piece of rust fell.
This time, it's slightly larger than a grain of rice.
Catch up with the size of a corn kernel.
Although this is still a drop in the bucket for the whole chai knife.
"This one is big!"
Tie Guanyin said excitedly.
"That's right, there is progress!"
Ye Wei nodded yes.
"As long as there is progress, it's always good!"
Tie Guanyin said.
"But you're making too slow progress...... The last sword is a grain of rice, and this sword is a grain of corn, can you progress a little faster, and the span of progress is a little larger?"
Ye Wei complained.
Tie Guanyin wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
He was not afraid of life and death, and he only used so many swords to sweat.
He gritted his teeth, and one after another, he slashed out five or six swords in one go.
Although each sword knocked off a piece of rust on the wood knife.
But each piece of rust is about the size of a corn kernel.
There has been no further progress.
"You're weird with your hatchet!"
Tie Guanyin pointed at Ye Wei and said.
"What's weird? If you haven't dropped a piece until now, that's weird. But obviously you have already dropped so much, if you want to blame it, you can only blame your own golden sword. β
Ye Wei said.
Tie Guanyin thought about it and felt that this was indeed the truth.
I also felt that what Fang Cai said was really a bit naΓ―ve......
I had no choice but to continue to draw my sword.
