Chapter 160: The beginning of Valentine's Day
The next morning, that is, the morning of Valentine's Day, the four of them tacitly got up early, as for where to go, what to do... Don't think about it, it's all about going to the back mountain, ready to see the rumored situation.
Shangguan Yi and Hua Xiangrong purely went to see the excitement, especially the former, first, they wanted to see what the result of Yue Zhengdao's layout was after so long, and secondly, to see what the situation was with Ye Xuetian and Mo Qianliu, it is said that the two of them should not be interested in this kind of excitement, or have they been bored for too long, and they want to take a look at everything?
If it weren't for these two purposes, Shangguan Yi wouldn't have bothered to get up and walk such a long distance to see such a boring thing in the back mountain.
Yes, for single dogs, there is no clear favorite of people, this kind of thing is really boring, whether it is mixed or onlookers, it is better to practice swordsmanship, read books, and even play chess with Huichen is more interesting than this.
"Is it necessary?" Mo Qianliu said meaningful words to Shangguan Yi who was walking towards the back mountain together, obviously taking revenge for last night's ridicule, after all, Shangguan Yi had to come to join in the fun with injuries on his body, which is not something ordinary people can do.
"No, let's see if you need it. Shangguan Yi told the truth, but the result was a pink punch from Mo Qianliu, which was not painful but contained a full warning meaning.
Ye Xuetian and Hua Xiangrong watched the interaction between the two people, slowly glanced at each other, and then gave each other a "don't know" look at the same time. How did the two of them know what these two were talking about? Maybe they did something invisible when the two of them didn't know, huh.
"Hey, you're so early, Chantaido, are you getting better?" When the four of them were about to walk to the gate to enter the back mountain, Yue Zhengdao's voice came from behind, and he and Jun Yishen led a few people to this side.
"It's much better, don't read it, what are you doing here?" Shangguan Yi pretended not to know and was polite to Yue Zhengdao.
"Ha, you don't know about the particularly ferocious rumor about the lover's knot that has been circulating lately, and I don't know where it came from, but it seems like everyone knows about it overnight, and I thought I could enjoy it alone. Yue Zhengdao said with regret.
"Exclusive?" Ye Xuetian asked suspiciously, what is there to enjoy exclusively? Isn't this a rumor? As long as you tie a knot on the jade pendant, and then throw it under the cliff, if it is not broken, give the jade and knot to the beloved, and you will get a love that will never be separated.
"Yes, how many loves in this world are consummated? You don't really think that every seed that sprouts will eventually bear beautiful fruits, do you? How many people are depressed and unhappy after marriage, and how many people are secretly looking for flowers and having fun? It's really hard to be with my favorite person for the rest of my life, so when I heard about this rumor, I rushed over from Kyoto and waited for the rabbit until now, just to get a chance to see if I could become the lucky one, get a piece of jade pendant that conforms to the rumors, tie it around the waist of the person I like, bless her with a healthy life, not be burdened by injuries and illnesses, not be confused by worries, protect her for a lifetime, do what she wants, and get what she wants. The more Yue Zhengdao spoke, the more serious and pious he became, making people subconsciously face him, not underestimating him because of his past, nor laughing at him because of his words.
Mo Qianliu glanced at him deeply, what he said was not the same as the rumors, maybe the rumors were wrong, maybe something happened in the middle of the rumors that made the rumors turn from right to wrong, but no matter what the case is, from today on, those rumors are no longer right, because the protagonist of the rumors has begun to find ways to end all this, and the legend of this Valentine's Day is the best opportunity, because everyone who comes today will be the witnesses of him to change the direction of the rumors.
"Yes, how much love in this world can develop step by step from a seed, blossom and bear fruit?" Ye Xuetian fell, not knowing what to think of.
"Huh?" Mo Qianliu was thinking about the connection between Yue Zhengdao and today's events, and how sure he was to complete this rumor, but suddenly heard Ye Xuetian say this, and saw her sad expression... Mo Qianliu was in no mood to think about it for a while, how Yue Zhengdao actually had nothing to do with her, if he loved to get married, he would get married, and if he didn't love to marry, he wouldn't be able to do it, what did it matter to her?
Yue Zhengdao, who received Mo Qianliu's cold death gaze, shrunk his neck, he actually didn't think so much before he spoke, who knows which tendon Ye Xue tilted was wrong, and suddenly became unhappy, the current situation is that he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even dare to persuade him, in case he slapped on the horse's leg, there was a possibility that Mo Qianliu would pick up a sword and cut people, and he would not be able to do today's business?
"Okay, okay, how can he say it so exaggeratedly, the bridge to... The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and there is fate in the dark, as long as you grasp it when fate is there, it is the kind of grasp that does not let go, it will not be as miserable as he said, you listen to what he says is a boy and a chicken nonsense. "Shangguan Yi played a round game, in case Ye Xuetian thought of something strange and cried after a while, today's show will become Mo Qianliu's sword slashing Yue Zheng Dao for three hundred miles.
"What if fate doesn't come?" Ye Xue looked at Shangguan Yi with a little hope.
"If you haven't felt the arrival of fate, it's better to look back and think about whether it has already come, but you never cared. People always look forward, look at what they don't have, but turn a blind eye to what they have long held in their hands, you don't want to make mistakes for this reason, I can't help you. After Shangguan Yi finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xuetian's thoughtful expression and smiled, he didn't know if what he said was right or not, and what kind of effect it would play, but since Ye Xuetian was confused, then give her a little determination, just like he said, there is fate in the dark, Ye Xuetian is "here" and "he" to discuss "this issue" It is a kind of fate in itself, and it is also a kind of fate for him to give such an answer, it is possible for all kinds of fate to intertwine any kind of fruit, the key is still in Ye Xuetian, what she wants.
This is as if Shangguan Yi enlightened Yue Zhengdao before, and now it is almost time for Yue Zhengdao to achieve results. As for Ye Xuetian, maybe she will know her good news before the next meeting, and then take advantage of the situation to drink a wave of wine when they meet, maybe next time, but there will be no such opportunity, she is a woman who is good at seizing opportunities, although there is a contradiction between reason and emotion.
"Well, I'm going first, I'm going to have to try it out yet. Yue Zhengdao scratched his head and said to Shangguan Yi.
"Try what? You don't seem to have anything with you. Shangguan Yi squinted at him, in fact, he was reminding him that if he succeeded once, there was a big flaw, and this leak couldn't come out.
"Hah, what do you think I am? Show him. Hearing this, Yue Zhengdao rolled his eyes and said to the attendants who followed behind.
The attendants each took out a few pockets from their sleeves, all of which were all kinds of jade and thread, as for how to use them... Needless to say, just throw the knot down.
"Big dog!" Shangguan Yi spit out these words from his mouth, he had to admire the ruthlessness of this guy Yue Zhengdao, he didn't know where to get so many jade pendants, and the quality was actually not bad, it was not good, but so many added up to not a small amount.
"It's all experiments, and the real protagonist is this one. Yue Zhengdao said a little proudly, and took out a piece of fine mutton fat white jade from his sleeve, its shape is like a phoenix, delicate and warm, at first glance it is the best jade, although it is not as good as that piece of Taiyin jade, but it is also a rare good jade in the world.
"Oh, that's good. Shangguan Yi praised against his will, very insincere, so that the corners of Hua Xiangrong's mouth twitched.
"Yes, this is something that I have spent a long time carving, and I also asked Huichen to open the light, and I worshiped in front of the Buddha for half a month, which can definitely bless people's safety. Yue Zhengdao said the inside story of the EX version even more proudly.
"Eh, that's really good, you still have this craft?" Shangguan Yi was sincere this time, even if he learned more things, it was impossible for him to learn to carve jade, not to mention that it was not so simple to carve jade of this quality.
"Of course, I will have a lot of me, sir, you ordinary people can't imagine it!" Yue Zhengdao laughed triumphantly.
"Really, the multi-talented Yue Dagong, hurry up, I'm still going to watch you perform? I hope you can succeed, otherwise... It's better for you to find a sword to kill yourself. Shangguan Yi smiled faintly, didn't wake him up, followed his words and continued, and finally showed a little hideous.
"Hmph, we'll see. Yue Zhengdao dropped this sentence and walked towards the back mountain. He actually didn't know much about it, although he had tried a few times and had some ideas, but it was still difficult to do it on such a high cliff, after all, jade was brittle and weak compared to stone, just like love was insignificant to the torrent of fate, and it would take a hundred, a thousand or even ten thousand times of effort and care to do this.
"Let's go, follow him over and see, throw the jade down the cliff without breaking, this problem depends on how he solves it." Shangguan Yi greeted his companions, everyone's thinking was different, and perhaps Yue Zhengdao's solution would make his eyes shine.
A few people went around the back mountain, I don't know how long it took to find the cliff, it is indeed a very remote, but the scenery is very good.
The cliff is actually not high, only a dozen meters away.
Yes, more than ten meters is not high, at least the people here (standing on the cliff) can go down from here unscathed, and even come and go freely, up and down repeatedly jumping horizontally, after all, the cliff is not smooth, there is a place to borrow, not to mention more than ten meters, even if it is a hundred meters, you can play like this.
Shangguan Yi stood next to the cliff and looked down, calculating in his heart, such a high distance is nothing for those of them who practice martial arts, but for a piece of jade, it is simply an unacceptable height, plus there is a stony ground below, it will be broken if it falls, and people who don't have a mine at home really don't dare to play like this.
"There seems to be a little breeze here, although it doesn't seem to be a big problem, but if you ignore it, even if the jade is protected by your knot, it will still shatter if it hits the sharp stone directly, even if it is a crack, then I'm afraid it will not work." After Mo Qianliu stretched out his hand to feel it, he said to Yue Zhengdao, it was a reminder and a mockery.
What she meant was that no matter how much Yue Zhengdao tried or how many jade stones he took to try, the result every time was accidental, and it was impossible to completely replicate it. For Yue Zhengdao, even if the jade in the hands of his subordinates is all broken, as long as the piece of jade he prepared can be preserved intact, it will be a great victory. But on the other hand, if his piece is broken, even if the others are preserved, it will not make much sense, should he hold a piece of jade that cannot be seen by his own eyes, and buy it casually, which does not contain his painstaking efforts at all? I am afraid that there are not many people who can accept this ending.
Mo Qianliu was taking revenge on Yue Zhengdao for making Ye Xue sad just now, giving him a little psychological pressure, although... Ye Xuetian was sad because of her own thoughts, but she blamed Yue Zhengdao for talking nonsense, otherwise she wouldn't have touched it.
What can Yue Zhengdao say? Only villains and women are difficult to raise, he can only nod to indicate that he knows, and then carefully observe the movements of the people who have already come.
He looked at it for a while, and then he had something in mind.
Not everyone is like him, there are opportunistic guys who try with very inferior jade, if successful, sell it, but also may make a small profit; most people should try one or two, or at most five times to stop, after all, want to give away jade can not be too much, such jade is naturally precious, in addition to the rich and noble family, who can afford to play?
So each of these people cherishes their own opportunity, and their thinking is also very common, which is to study different knots as a buffer to solve the impact problem of the jade's fall, but with Jio, I also know that if I want to solve the problem in this way, it is almost dependent on the gods to bless it.
Anyway, Yue Zhengdao felt that this was unreliable, so he also started his own attempt, took the thread and jade from his subordinates and began to weave to realize his own ideas.
"Well, it seems that it won't be solved for a while, I'll ask the attendant to bring something over, let's drink tea here, chat, and wait for their results to come out. Jun Yishen looked at this scene, I'm afraid it's going to be dark, right? This rumor is a bit difficult to make up, I already knew that I had persuaded Yue Zhengdao to change the way, if I couldn't do it, I still couldn't solve the problem.
"It's okay, by the way, let's get some ingredients, tableware or something, it seems that I can't go back today, just stay in the back mountain, and by the way, compare my cooking skills?" Shangguan Yi happily agreed.
"What do you say...?than cooking?!" Jun Yishen's face turned a little gloomy, obviously he didn't know how to cook, after all, he was not from the rivers and lakes, he lived in a big family since he was a child, even in the most difficult time, there was a prince at that time, and now the emperor sent someone to bring him food, where does he need to do it himself? ?
"Looks like it's fun. Mo Qianliu said lightly, her craftsmanship is average, but it is not unpalatable, so she is not afraid of these, and even has the leisure to gloat.
Jun Yishen: "......" It seems that he is as difficult as Yue Zhengdao today.
