Chapter 123: The curtain is empty
"Master, it turns out that you picked it up back then... The woman who was defeated was the senior just now. β
Yao Sanming sighed a little melancholy: "Hey, the past is unbearable, the old man was still too young back then." β
Hearing Yao Sanming's exclamation, Zhang Shaoyang smiled, pretending to be old-fashioned.
"I said Master, this is your fault, people are infatuated with you, and you are still hiding from others. β
"You kid knows a fart!" Yao Sanming glared at him angrily: "I knew that I wouldn't bring you out with me, let you go back and talk nonsense, the old man's reputation will be ruined." β
"I didn't ask you to bring me!" Zhang Shaoyang argued.
"Alas, if no one else is present, today's fight will be fixed, and the old man can't help it. β
It was the first time for Zhang Shaoyang to see Yao Sanming's depressed look, and he felt funny in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.
"This trip can be regarded as untying the knot in my heart back then, thinking that the old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for a lifetime, and there are few things that can affect the state of mind, which is considered a thing. β
Zhang Shaoyang let out an 'oh', and unconsciously was not far from the inn, Yao Sanming told him again and again: "Shaoyang, don't mention this matter to Xi Wan when you go back, do you know?"
"Then it depends on whether the master is sincere, if you don't teach me a set of swordsmanship anymore, I'm so tight-lipped as a bottle?"
"Hey, dare to bargain with the teacher, look for a fight!"
Let others see, Zhang Shaoyang and Yao Sanming are really not like masters and apprentices, after so many years of inheritance, whether it is a literati or a martial artist, the habit of respecting teachers is particularly heavy, and the teacher, preaching and teaching to solve doubts, has the grace of enlightenment for disciples, so disciples should be humble and respectful to the master, and these two people are old and not in shape, and the young ones are not in shape, how can they have the appearance of master and apprentice?
This is due to the fact that Yao Sanming is not confined to those clichΓ©s and etiquette, and he can't be rigid and rigid, but it is much more interesting to fight like this now.
People live for a lifetime, it's good to be comfortable, if Zhang Shaoyang is really submissive to him, he Yao Sanming has no heart to teach, like now, Yao Sanming is doing his best to teach him.
When he returned to the inn, it was already dark, Yao Sanming instructed the innkeeper to prepare a table of food, and called Xi Wan to dine together.
The location of the inn is in the center of Hongzhou City, which is a time-honored brand, and it is estimated that it must be hundreds of years.
Yao Sanming has a good impression of this inn, especially the box they are sitting in, which belongs to one of the few rooms that can have a glimpse of the midnight view of Hongzhou City, from here, the streets and alleys in the distance are brightly lit, and some people walk through the streets and alleys in twos and threes, and further away, there is a pool of lake water reflecting the lights, the water surface is sparkling, and there are cruise ships slowly rowing by, the lake is crowded with people, men and women.
After the sky darkened, it was unconsciously full of stars, and the three of them enjoyed the distant scenery while eating tea and food, and did not speak for a while.
It wasn't until the food on the table was almost eaten that Yao Sanming said with a look of enjoyment: "This Hongzhou, it's really a good place, look at the girls walking around the street, the water is about to catch up with Xi Yatou." β
Yao Sanming's seemingly casual remark actually secretly praised Xi Wan, mainly because the atmosphere was not very harmonious, he had to stand up and be a peacemaker, this has to go on forever, how dull should the road be?
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Xi Wan's face looked better, although she still looked cold, at least her expression changed.
Yao Sanming hurriedly touched Zhang Shaoyang with his elbow: "Boy, do you say yes, it's still a little short of catching up with our Xi girl." β
"Ah?... Oh... Yes, yes. Zhang Shaoyang put a mouthful of green vegetables into his mouth and replied vaguely.
"Xi Yatou should be eighteen, and it's almost time to think about marriage. β
Xi Wan didn't expect Yao Sanming to suddenly say such a sentence, and she was stunned for a long time before she hurriedly pulled two mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, and her face was already red.
"Oh, don't be shy, don't be shy, the so-called man should marry and the woman should get married, the old man is entrusted by your father, I want to find a reliable master for you, I think this is not bad for my junior brother, but you come out this time, at least you have to study for five or six years to be successful, and then it will not delay the best years of the woman, so ah, the old man thought about it, do you have to think about it for you. β
"Seniors don't have to think about it, you don't have to worry about it. Xi Wan was a little frightened, and hurriedly waved her hand to refuse.
"That's... Actually, I think Shaoyang's kid is not bad, stupid is a little stupid, and I have wronged you a little bit with you, but my family is well-off, and he looks about the same, the most important thing is that he is right..."
Zhang Shaoyang and Xi Wan looked at Yao Sanming in disbelief, and spoke almost at the same time.
"Me?"
"Him?"
"Uh... The old man just said casually, eat, ah eat first!" "Love Chinese Network."
Looking at the reactions of the two, Yao Sanming sighed in his heart, apprentice, as a teacher, I can only help you so much, and the rest can only rely on yourself.
"Seniors, you eat, I'm full, I'll go back to the room first. Xi Wan threw down the chopsticks in a panic, and the domineering spirit that she usually had was gone, but ran away like a frightened rabbit.
After Xi Wan left, Zhang Shaoyang smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you are making a big joke." β
"Hey, I want to help you as a teacher, looking at Xi Yatou's panicked appearance, you should always believe that the teacher didn't lie to you. β
Seeing that Zhang Shaoyang was silent, Yao Sanming said with a smile on his face: "You kid have to hurry up, this Xi girl is still good." β
As he spoke, the pedestrians outside began to be noisy, and then there were bursts of exclamations, and when they looked through the window, they saw a large area of colorful glow in the sky in the distance, reflecting the entire night sky a lot.
The colorful glow was extremely wonderful, pouring down from above like a stream of water, like a canopy falling from the sky, and it looked extremely shocking.
This kind of wonder, whether it is Yao Sanming or Zhang Shaoyang, they have never seen it before, and they all feel strange, just at this time the inn Xiao Er passed by, although Xiao Er also glanced at the strange scene outside from time to time, but his face was not much surprised, obviously not the first time he saw it.
Yao Sanming stopped Xiao Er and said, "Xiao Er, wait a minute, I have something to ask you." β
The little two looked more clever, holding a plate of wine and food in one hand steadily, and when he heard someone calling, he immediately stopped, and then pulled the tray in his hand down and held it with both hands, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you call me." β
"What's going on with this colorful glow?"
"Isn't the guest here for this colorful glow?"
Seeing Yao Sanming shook his head, Xiao Er smiled and said: "I see that the guest officer is not a local, and I thought that he came specifically for this glow, this glow, since the summer two years ago, it will appear four or five times a month, especially in the summer and autumn, the shortest time to appear, and the glow is also the most obvious, generally there are only wisps of seven-colored glow surging, like today, a whole color curtain is in the air, to be honest, I also see it for the first time." β
"I heard that there are immortals who are cultivating, and such auspicious signs will appear. β
"Immortal cultivation?" Yao Sanming frowned, looking closely at the Caixia was indeed an auspicious omen, but it seemed that he couldn't detect any aura if he was too far away.
"Yes, everyone says so, but it's true that we little people don't know, but after the appearance of this glow, there are a lot of famous guests, you two are lucky today, pick this class of private seats, and also encountered the first time in two years that the colorful curtain hangs in the night sky. β
"What kind of sect is there in that direction?"
Xiao Er thought for a while and said: "There is no sect, but the famous Xiao Family Sword Village moved there about ten years ago, and it is about thirty miles away from here. β
"I see, thank you very much. β
"You're welcome, if it's okay, the little one will be busy first. β
Yao Sanming nodded, and after Xiao Er left, he looked at the strange scene in the air again, at this time, the colored curtain was even bigger than just now, like a waterfall from the sky and falling into the mortal dust, anyone who saw it would think of the immortals.
"Xiao Family Sword Village..."
Yao Sanming pondered for a moment, and Zhang Shaoyang next to him was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Master, is it true that there are immortals cultivating in the world?"
"It's really hard to say, the old man used to think that there were no immortals in this world, since the last time he hooked the thunder and lightning, the spirit sense of that moment was released, and he noticed a trace of inexplicable qi, which really has a trace of immortal taste. β
After the colorful curtain in the sky lasted for a while, it slowly dimmed, and in the end, it seemed that there was a big mouth on the ground, sucking all the Caixia in the sky into it, and then the sky darkened instantly, and at the moment when Caixia disappeared, Zhang Shaoyang only felt that the Honghu sword on his waist trembled violently, he touched the hilt of the sword casually, and he suddenly withdrew his hand, only then did he find that the Honghu sword body was a little hot.
He couldn't believe it and touched the sword again, the sword that was cold on weekdays was indeed a little hot at this time, and there was no stove or anything like that around, it shouldn't be so abnormal.
"Master, what do you think is going on?"
Zhang Shaoyang untied the sword on his waist, and then put it on the table, Yao Sanming only glanced at it, and saw the unusualness of the Honghu sword, he took the sword in his hand, and then gently pumped, the sword body was unsheathed a few inches, revealing the mark two inches below the hilt.
At this time, the imprint was shining, and when he stroked his fingers on the imprint, he could suddenly feel a strong aura, much richer than the Qi Luck Pool on the mountain behind the tiger-shaped gate.
As the heavenly curtain dissipated, the sigil gradually calmed down, and soon the sword body returned to a cold state.
"It seems that this colorful glow has something to do with the luck of heaven and earth in the luck pool!"
Returning the sword to the scabbard, Yao Sanming looked at the sky that had returned to normal, and said slowly: "It seems that it is time to go to the Xiao Family Sword Village." β
