Volume 1 The Adventures of Teenagers Chapter 4 The Storm Rises
Yesterday's banquet lasted until midnight.
The wine stopped and people dispersed.
Shen Qi didn't know when he had returned to the room, nor how he had returned to the room. When he woke up with a dry mouth, it was already noon on the second day.
Shen Qi covered his drowsy head and wet his almost chapped lips with his tongue, trying to remember what happened last night. But he only vaguely remembered that he was dressed in red, like the groom's officer, and he couldn't help but blush.
After hurriedly getting dressed, Shen Qi shook his head and wanted to go to Shen Wu to participate in today's training together.
When I opened the door, I saw a snow-white color.
Last night the whole lodge was celebrating, so no one cleaned it. It wasn't until more than half of this morning that a few people appeared to hastily clean the inside and outside of Yingxue Mountain Villa. It's just that this Bailuya wind and snow continue all year round, and the snow that has just been cleared will be full again in a short time, so except for the main road in front of the main hall, other places are rarely completely cleaned.
Now in Shen Qi's small courtyard, the snow has already overflowed the steps.
Looking at the snowflakes sprinkled on the ocean, Shen Qi couldn't help but recall the situation of going alone on the hundred-mile snow road yesterday, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved an arc.
I have already passed the Hundred Miles of Wind and Snow Path Trial! I am the fourth of the Seven Holy Sons to pass!
Shen Qi was in a good mood, and couldn't help but clench his fists and cheer himself up. Then he took a step towards Shen Wu's small courtyard.
In Yingxue Mountain Villa, the status of the Seven Holy Sons is revered, and each Holy Son has his own small courtyard.
There are three courtyards for accommodation in Ying Xue Villa, namely the South Courtyard, the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard.
Shen Qi's small courtyard is located in the west courtyard of the villa. This was originally a courtyard group of the Seven Holy Sons, but since Shen Wu was a woman, her small courtyard was arranged in the east courtyard where women gathered. Originally, the courtyard of the West Courtyard belonging to Shen Wu became a place for all the Holy Sons to gather in their leisure time.
Shen Qi went to look for Shen Wu, and he would pass by the small courtyard of the Holy Sons in turn.
At this hour, the Holy Sons should have already started today's training. It's just because Shen Qi has just passed the Hundred Miles Wind and Snow Road Trial, so no one disturbed him this morning and let him sleep until noon. It can also be regarded as a default incentive measure for Yingxue Mountain Villa.
When passing by Shen Er's small courtyard, Shen Qi casually glanced at it, but found that the owner of the village, Shen Wuyi, was talking to Shen Er.
Shen Qi, who originally wanted to go in and say hello, had just stepped out, but suddenly thought: In case the owner of the village is talking about some confidential things or private things about the second brother, it is not good for me to break in rashly.
Thinking like this, Shen Qi relaxed his steps and quietly walked through the gate of the courtyard.
In Shen Er's small courtyard, Shen Yiyi and Shen Er's eyes moved slightly, and Shen Er smiled indifferently: "The seventh brother has deep internal skills, but he can't hide it, no wonder he is a little stupid on weekdays." The distance of five zhang, the sound of stepping on the snow, can be heard clearly without much profound internal cultivation. ”
Shen Wuyi smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Qi is simple by nature, it is true that he has no experience in this kind of thing. But if you want to say that he is bad, that's not true. This is the seven of you brothers, who are unguarded against each other. If he is asked to listen to others, this should still be the thought. By the way, how did I do what I told you before?"
Shen Er's originally indifferent appearance was a little stupid, and said, "Three months ago, I asked some friends from the Beggar Gang to pay attention to the whereabouts of the eldest brother, but there is still no news recently. ”
Shen nodded unintentionally and said in a low voice: "The Beggar Gang is known as the 'No. 1 Gang in the World', and its power is all over the thirteen states. It stands to reason that it should be extremely easy for them to find someone. But it's been three months, but there has been no news of the old one, which is really worrying. If the old one is just incognito, I'm afraid it's ......"
Shen Wuyi's face was a little unpleasant.
"Could it be that the owner of the village thinks that the eldest brother has suffered misfortune?" Shen Er directly said to break Shen's unintentional worry.
Shen Wuyi nodded slowly.
"Probably not. Shen Er frowned and said, "Not to mention that the eldest brother's internal strength is second only to the seventh brother, so that the rest of us are beyond the reach of the dust." Just because he was less than thirty years old and was able to break through the 'Three Hundred Miles of Wind and Snow Road', the eldest brother is already the first day of our Yingxue Mountain Villa in a hundred years! Besides, the eldest brother has traveled to the rivers and lakes for several years, I categorically don't believe that the eldest brother will die easily!"
Shen didn't think about it for a while, nodded and said, "How can I not know this." According to common sense, except for the top three peerless masters in the 'Jianghu Master List', there should be no character on the rivers and lakes who can beat the old one. It's just that the rivers and lakes are so big and there are so many masters, how can a small 'list of masters in the rivers and lakes' be completely recorded? Besides, it's not a secret that our Yingxue Mountain Villa's 'Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun' is not a secret, in case someone discovers the identity of the old one and has a bad idea......
Shen Er frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I understand." The so-called people's hearts are unpredictable, maybe those famous masters of the rivers and lakes disdain to deal with the eldest brother, but there are always some villains who disregard the morality and face of the rivers and lakes, if they deliberately set up treacherous schemes, even if the eldest brother has three heads and six arms, I am afraid that it will be ......"
"Not bad. That's what I'm worried about. Shen Wuyi couldn't help but shake his head and said: "According to the tradition of our Yingxue Mountain Villa, since the old one has already broken through the 'Three Hundred Miles of Wind and Snow Road', he can enter the 'Tibetan Scripture Room' to comprehend the supreme mental method 'Wuxiang General Outline'. But who knows that the old one is arrogant by nature, and he disdains to comprehend the internal strength of his predecessors, or the general outline of the mental method of a hundred years ago. He was determined to create his own mental method that was not inferior to the 'Phaseless Divine Skill', so he left a book and ran away on the night of the 'Three Hundred Miles of Wind and Snow Road'!"
What? Our Yingxue Mountain Villa actually has a "general outline of the unphased superintendent"! Isn't this the general outline of the "unphased divine skill" of the Zhen family's supreme treasure of the Jiang family in Yuanzhou? How can it be in our Yingxue Mountain Villa?
Shen Er couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
Thinking that Shen Yi had no intention of mentioning what Shen Yi had done, Shen Er couldn't help but sigh secretly: It turns out that the eldest brother is so arrogant! No wonder he didn't hold a banquet to celebrate after hearing that he walked through the "Three Hundred Miles of Wind and Snow Road", it turned out that he left a book and ran away that night!
"It's been three years, and not only has the old one not returned, but not even a letter has been sent. It can be said that we Yingxue Mountain Villa have no idea about the situation of the old one. Shen Yiyi said in a low voice: "At first, I thought it was due to his arrogant personality: if he didn't create a technique that surpassed the 'Phaseless Divine Skill', he would never return to the Snow Mountain Villa." Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's ......"
"Is the owner of the village still angry with the eldest brother?" asked Shen Er cautiously.
"Angry?" Shen raised his head unintentionally, glanced at Shen Er with a strange expression, and said, "I have never been angry from beginning to end. All the elders of Yingxue Mountain Villa were not angry either. The elder one has such ambitions, how can we, the elders, beat him at will and make him lose his ambition? Not to mention that the seven of you have received all kinds of training since childhood, and you can be regarded as spending your entire childhood for our Yingxue Mountain Villa, how can we not look at it in our eyes? Could it be that in your heart, we people are just cold-blooded old men who don't understand human feelings and only know the interests of the family?"
"Shen Er doesn't dare!" Shen Er hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's Shen Er who ...... with the heart of a villain."
Shen Wuyi gently patted Shen Er's shoulder and interrupted him.
"It's useless to say something. Shen said softly: "If we care about the so-called reputation, can we still do our best to cultivate you? In fact, from a certain point of view, we are indeed some cold-blooded executioners and exploiters." We have deprived you of your childhood, of your time with your families. It's just that although you have paid a lot, you have also gained this internal cultivation that is proud of your contemporaries, and the status of the seven of you in Yingxue Mountain Villa is not low, right? From this point of view, you have paid and gained. You can think of it as bartering, just a trade. But in the same way, you have paid a lot, and Yingxue Mountain Villa has also paid a lot. But if you think about it, which of you has paid more than the villa?"
Shen Er frowned, thought for a while, and finally said with some discouragement: "It's the mountain villa that has paid more." ”
Shen Wuyi smiled indifferently, then his face was slightly correct, and he said, "But right now, the villa needs your help very much. ”
Shen Er's face was straight, and then he nodded and said, "I am willing to go to the soup for the villa!"
Shen Wuyi couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Where did you learn the Jianghu dialect! I also learned four dislikes, Bailuya is everywhere in the ice and snow, what 'soup' and what 'fire' to go!"
Shen Er's face was a little embarrassed.
Shen said unintentionally: "Okay, I know your intentions. Go and call all the other Sons to the main hall, it's time to issue you a new mission. ”
Shen Er took the order and turned to leave, Shen unintentionally raised his head to look at the still gloomy sky, and sighed softly.
The main hall of Yingxue Mountain Villa.
At this moment, the six holy sons have gathered here, and they are patiently waiting for the owner of the village, Shen Yiyi.
"I came to you today to give you a new mission. ”
Shen's unintentional voice came, and everyone couldn't help but look to the side in unison.
Shen Wuyi slowly walked to the middle of the room and said, "But after thinking about it, I still decided to tell you the truth first. ”
As soon as Shen Yiyi's words came out, the holy sons couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and even Shen Qi, who was originally a little complacent because he had passed the test of the Hundred Miles Wind and Snow Path, was also a little stunned.
Shen Wuyi's gaze slowly swept over the Holy Sons, and then he spoke: "Actually, I wanted to tell you this yesterday. It's just that Xiao Qi finally passed the test of the 100-mile wind and snow road, so let you relax for a night first. ”
Shen didn't intend to make the hearts of the Holy Sons warm, but more doubts.
"You know that we have a 'Centennial Plan' in Yingxue Mountain Villa, but do you know that there is also a 'Ten-Year Covenant'?"
Shen Yiyi's voice was a little cold, and there was also a hint of embarrassment.
"A ten-year covenant?"
The Holy Sons looked at each other.
"Ten years ago, Jiang Jingming, the head of the Jiang family in Yuanzhou, came to visit. During the banquet, he pointed out that our Shen and Jiang families have been fighting each other for a hundred years because of the grudges of their ancestors, which has had a lot of impact on the development of our two families. So he made a bet as the final game of the century-old battle between the two families. Shen said slowly: "And this bet is what I want to talk about today's 'ten-year covenant'." ”
With that, Shen unintentionally looked around at everyone, then reached into his arms and found a small metal scroll.
"It was because of this thing that I had to agree to the proposal of the Jiang family master and make a 'ten-year covenant' with him. Shen said unintentionally.
"Dad, what is this?" Shen Wu couldn't help but ask curiously.
Shen Wuyi smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand and tapped it a few times in different places on the metal scroll, and then there was a sound of the machine turning.
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Shen Wuyi slowly lifted a small animal skin.
"It's temptation and calamity. Shen muttered unintentionally.
Everyone couldn't help but quickly step forward and look at the animal skin in Shen Wuyi's hand.
I saw that this leather, which I don't know if it was a sheepskin or a cowhide, was engraved with dense small characters!
After everyone saw the four big golden characters recorded at the beginning of the skin, they couldn't help but gasp.
No phase general!
