Chapter 22: The Getaway
Back mountain, splashing from the waterfall, Li Moru has been practicing martial arts here for some days, and the distance from his current Qinggong Ancient Town is nothing to him.
Now Li Moru already looks like a talent, like a handsome son, he is about six feet tall, and now he is already wearing a snow suit, fluttering.
The long sword in his hand waved in the sunlight, sprinkling a little afterglow, and now his magpie stepping branch had reached the realm of the original Huiyang Dao Chief.
Since Zhang Fugui left four years ago, Long Chen and the others have gradually left, and the remaining Ding Wei and Mu Mingxuan in the school have also left after Zhang Fugui left.
Now there are few students in the school, a few days ago, when Mr. Mo chatted with Li Moru, he also said that he no longer teaches and wants to stay alone for a few days.
Li Moru is the one who has been with Mr. Mo the longest among these students.
Now that the school has been emptied, Mr. Mo has changed the chessboard and piano inside, and after Zhao Wumian left, Lao Yang Tou no longer lives in the blacksmith shop, and moves to live with Mr. Mo, and the two can be regarded as companions.
Occasionally, I will talk about some juvenile memories, Li Moru's mother died of illness three years ago, and since then Li Moru has also sold the bookstore and moved to Mr. Mo's place to learn martial arts from his master, and occasionally he can learn some principles of life and Taoism with Mr. Mo.
Yang Juan is already married, married to a scholar in an ancient town, although Lao Yang Tou is not very fond of readers, but after all, Yang Juan likes him and doesn't say anything, and occasionally comes to see Lao Yang Tou.
Li Moru was standing quietly on the branches, listening to the sound of the waterfall rushing into the pool, and with this sound, he closed his eyes and fell straight down, rushing into the pool.
Originally, he was still young, and he didn't dare to go deeper into the pool, but now that the water is much better, he dares to go to the deep water place to study and study.
For so many years, he had been able to see the shadow of that sword, but no matter how he looked for it, he couldn't find it, and every time he dived directly to the deepest part when the sun was shining at noon, to see if the sword he was looking for in Tandi, and now he still repeated his previous habits.
A fierce man plunged down, and with the help of the internal force, he quickly dived, and there was a huge splash on the surface of the water, and the ripples on the surface of the water swayed and flowed in the water under the sunlight.
To his surprise, he still returned in vain, and it was not until a familiar call that he rose from the water.
The visitor was dressed in a light blue gauze dress decorated with a faint snow lotus, a light blue long skirt, a blue belt around the waist, the appearance was very lovely, the cheeks were as delicate as fat jade, and the cheeks were lightly decorated with a layer of extremely elegant pale pink blush, and the lips that were not smeared with cinnabar were as delicate as peaches.
She walked softly, pointed at her willow waist, smiled as if she was captivating the country, and she called softly: "Li Moru, Moru, eat." β
The person who came was Mo Xue'er, she was already in her prime, and she was even more delicate, although people in and out of the town had begun to come to the door one after another, but only Li Moru knew that there was always a person living in her heart, and she was thinking about the time to meet again.
Li Moru heard the sound rushing out of the water, splashing in all directions, he jumped onto the shore, shook the water droplets on his face and head, and took the change of clothes that Mo Xue'er brought to him, and then Mo Xue'er left.
After changing into dry clothes, Li Moru washed his wet clothes, which were full of sweat and soaked in water for a while.
After returning to the room and hanging clothes in the yard, we went to the lobby to eat.
During the meal, Mr. Mo took out a letter from his arms and told Li Moru that it was sent by Zhang Fugui.
Lao Yang Tou said: "Stinky boy, you are already so old, it's time to go out and have a look, I guess Zhang Fugui's stinky boy must have asked you to find him." β
Li Moru sandwiched a piece of pork and said with a smile: "It's still a good master, everything is clear, and I also want to go out and have a look, but I'm still a little worried." β
"Don't worry about what, don't say you're worried about me and your Mr. Mo's body, don't worry, the two of us are tough, as long as you don't chatter all day long in front of us, we can live a few more years, hurry up, pack up your things, get out!"
Mr. Mo also echoed: "Yes, Moru, the man is ambitious in all directions, and you are already a big boss, it's time to go out and have a look, otherwise it won't be a waste for you to learn this skill, you just need to remember to send two letters home occasionally." β
Li Moru actually wanted to go out, he wanted to leave when Zhang Fugui came back three years ago, but his mother was seriously ill and he couldn't go, and now, he was a little worried about his master's health.
But fortunately, with Mr. Mo by his side, the master is not lonely, so he actually wants to go out now.
He replied: "Master, Mr. Mo, I want to think about it, in fact, I also want to go out and have a look, and when I think about it, I will prepare, and you don't need to rush me." β
Lao Yang Tou smiled and said: "Stinky boy, don't worry about me, you are only sixty this year, you are young, you, what do you want to do, don't care about my old man, if you stay in front of me again, you will be really angry with me, I will be really angry with me, I have all my skills handed over to you, you didn't make a name for me, and you still pestle in front of me every day, aren't you angry with me." β
Li Moru smiled: "Well, master, don't worry, I'll leave the day after tomorrow." β
At this time, Lao Yang's tone suddenly changed, "So urgent?"
"What's the matter, master, are you thinking I'm in a hurry now?"
"Get out, get out of here, you get out of the house early, and I'll enjoy a few more days of happiness." β
At night, the stars dot the night sky, and the faint moonlight like a light veil adds a touch of mystery to the starry sky.
Li Moru was enjoying the cool in the courtyard, and when he thought that he was about to leave, he couldn't calm down in his heart, and the breeze blew the green silk on his temples, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Li Moru was a little calm, so he began to practice the sword in the courtyard, the sword method is called "Qingfeng", Li Moru practiced the sword while chanting the sword trick, "Lead the wind into the fire, the fire moves with the wind, the breeze enters the sword, and the sword is born from the heart." β
"The breeze has no shadow and a three-foot sword, and the bright moon is in the air. Let him come with thousands of troops, and I will roar to the sky with a sword. β
As he spoke, the sword was like a breeze, disturbing the treetops, the fallen leaves danced with the wind, walking with the sword, and with the flickering of Li Moru's sword light, the bamboo forest in the courtyard kept shaking.
At this time, the sound of a clean or dusty piano came from outside the door.
The sound of the piano was melodious, like water flowing into Li Moru's restless heart, and for a while, Li Moru's irritable mood instantly calmed down, and the bamboo forest slowly stopped shaking.
Li Moru put away the sword and his back, and turned around following the place where the sound of the piano came, between which Mr. Mo was playing the piano, and a sycamore guqin flowed out of the silence of the bright moon and the stream in the mountains under Mr. Mo's playing.
Li Moru walked up to Mr. Mo, put away his sword, and quietly listened to Mr. Mo play the piano.
Although Li Moru has learned to play the piano with Mr. Mo, for some reason, no matter how calm his mind is, he can't play such a tune.
Mr. Mo withdrew his hand, turned sideways and said to Li Moru: "Moru, you are leaving, are you a little reluctant?"
Li Moru replied: "There is reluctance and worry, after all, the master and Mr. are both old, and the mother passed away a few years ago, and Mr. Mo and Master Yang are rare relatives in the world." β
Mr. Mo still habitually touched Li Moru's head, but found that the child was already as tall as himself, "Moru, things in this world are always difficult to have both, besides, we have little savings, we don't have to worry about supporting each other, and we are not lonely." β
"In life, if you have too many scruples, your life will be too restrictive, I think your master should be the same as me, I don't want to be a rope that binds your hands and feet, so your master wants you to leave quickly, otherwise you will always stay in front of him, but it will make him feel guilty in his heart. β
"Whether it's for us or for yourself, you should go out and see the great rivers and mountains outside, all things in the world, the mysteries are endless, if you don't look closely, you can't see the wonders, go, Moru, neither of us need to worry about you. β
Li Moru nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Since you're leaving, there's nothing to give you as a gentleman, so I'll play you a song "Getaway"!"
Li Moru said curiously: "Is "Getaway" Zhuangzi's getaway?"
Mr. Mo nodded.
Li Moru was very curious, he had never heard this song, nor had he heard anyone mention it.
Mr. Mo lightly touched the strings, but the sound of the piano spread out like a strong wind, thick and heavy, while his fingers plucked the strings, and at the same time he sang: "There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun." The Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it isβ"
The sound of the piano was slow and calm, like a thick flood that rushed to Li Moru's chest at once, "-Peng Zhi migrated to the south of the earth, the water hit three thousand miles, the one who swayed up ninety thousand miles, and the one who went to rest in Juneββ"
The sound of the piano suddenly became strong and strong, as if the roc that was gaining momentum suddenly appeared in front of Li Yao.
When the piano ended, Li Moru was still addicted to it and didn't come out of his mind for a long time. It seems that he is already the roc carrying the clouds hanging from the sky, soaring in the sky.
When Li Moru came to his senses, he asked: "Sir, in fact, you also know martial arts, I seem to have heard the sword intent in this song just now." β
Mr. Mo said with a smile: "Where do I know any martial arts, but you practice more swords by yourself, and you can also hear the sword intent when you listen to the music." β
Li Moru asked, "Could it be that you can also hear the sword intent when you listen to the tune?"
Mr. Mo said: "All things in the world, there is born from nothing, there is no birth from the Tao, the sword intent is originally an ethereal thing, naturally it is born from the Tao, as for the Tao, the Tao has nothing, and there is everything, playing the piano is the Tao, and the sound of the piano is also the Tao, so it is natural to hear the sword intent from the sound of the piano." β
Although Li Moru felt that what Mr. Mo said was very reasonable, he always felt that there was something wrong, but if he wanted to say something wrong, he really couldn't say it.
