Chapter 36 This is not the past
The rainy days make the air in Xiaoqi Mountain extremely humid and the sky becomes gloomy, which is a great day to stay at home and read a book or meditate.
And Nangong Yu was meditating in the practice room at this time, she had spent two hours in meditation, and at this time she had taken out a book from her sleeve and read it.
When she used to be an apprentice, she used to hide a novel in her sleeve, and whenever her master asked her to meditate, she would take out the book and read it secretly at the last half hour.
According to the rules of the Nangong sect, each meditation takes two and a half hours. When he was a child, Nangong Yu always felt that the extra half an hour was used to read books.
What she didn't know was that the previous sect rules were only two hours, and this half hour was really used by the master to let her peek at the book.
Master knew her, and she began to be lazy to read after meditating for an hour and a half at a time, but Master did not punish her, but silently changed the rules of the sect, so that she could sit for two hours at a time.
After becoming the sect master, Nangong Yu no longer had to peek at a book while meditating, but her habits over the years made her unable to calm down and read a book whether she was lying on the bed in the bedroom or sitting in the lobby, and the best time to read was always the restless half hour after meditation.
Even now, no one dares to punish her for secretly reading books, but that kind of uneasy mood has always come as promised, and she thinks that books that are read with such a mood have a soul.
Humans are strange creatures, and the strangest behavior of humans is their habits.
The book I am reading now is a month ago when the four disciples went down the mountain to match the sword, she secretly went to the library under the mountain to borrow it, adapted from the story of a legendary queen mother of the Chinese Dynasty in history - the story of the Empress Dowager Luo, the queen mother surnamed Luo was a famous heroine when she was young, and then married the emperor and became the queen, and became the queen mother after the emperor's death.
Of course she had heard the story of this legendary figure, but the description in this novel was very detailed, and she didn't know how many apocryphal elements there were, but when it came to the story of this chivalrous woman becoming a queen, she instantly thought of her third sister who married into the palace and was already the current queen of the south.
Among the four beauties in the world, she and this sister are called "Southern Immortals and Northern Queens", and the sisters are a bit like the Empress Dowager Luo of the Chinese Dynasty.
However, Nangong Yu didn't like the character of Empress Dowager Luo very much, because she betrayed her master. As a teacher, Nangong Yu always felt that what she did was inappropriate, but she couldn't say what was wrong, after all, her master was a villain, and betrayal was the right way.
Every time I watch it, I always fall into such a tangled mood, and in addition to apprehension, my mood is also hesitant.
When he was immersed in this complex reading emotion, a loud announcement came from outside the door, "Hanmo Sword Sect Xu Tianying should visit Nangong Sword Sect!"
Nangong Yu's heart tightened, vaguely knowing the purpose of his trip, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness in his heart, but soon it flashed and got up and went out.
The distance from the practice room to the entrance of the Sword Sect was not far, and the voice never sounded again, obviously waiting for her very patiently.
When I came to the school field, I saw the middle-aged man under the archway from a distance, and it was really the owner of the Hanmo Sword Gate - Xu Tianying.
Xu Tianying smiled at her from afar, until she came suddenly, like a heavenly immortal descending to earth, descending in front of him, he bowed his hand and smiled, "Nan Fairy, I haven't seen you for five years, and your demeanor is even greater, which is really enviable!"
Nangong Yu's face was like frost, and he said coldly, "I've seen Master Xu." I don't know why the master of the Xu Sect came in person?"
"Xu came in person, of course, because he missed the Southern Fairy. At that meeting five years ago, Xu remembers it vividly and recalls it...... It's still in front of you. This middle-aged man with gray temples is dressed as a literati, with an elegant and mature temperament, like an old gentleman who teaches and educates.
But his smile made Nangong Yu very disgusted, "Five years ago, Gong Yu was still young and ignorant of the world, if there is anything that offends the master of the Xu Sect, please forgive me." ”
"What did Nan Xianzi say, Xu Mou came today not to ask Xingshi about the crime, but to talk to Nan Xianzi...... Reminiscence. As he spoke, he reached out to pull Nangong Yu's arm.
Nangong Yuwei turned to one side, and the green jade arm was naturally raised, and made a "please" gesture in the direction of the lobby, cleverly avoiding Xu Tianying's hand, "Please tell us in the hall." ”
Xu Tianying's face changed color slightly, and then smiled, "Also, this is not a place to talk. ”
The two walked through the school field and entered the lobby, Xu Tianying sat on the main seat unceremoniously, and Nangong Yu sat on the main seat, and said apologetically, "The bad guys are all at the bottom of the mountain, and there are no attendants and servants in the village, so the hospitality is not good, please forgive me." ”
Xu Tianying said with a smile, "Fairy Nan said that. You and I are old friends, so why care about these red tapes?"
Nangong Yu shook his head slightly and said respectfully, "Don't dare." ”
Her attitude made Xu Tianying a little at a loss, he groaned slightly, and said with a smile, "After a month, it will be the Martial Sect Conference, according to the past practice, presumably in the audition competition, the high-ranking disciples of you and I will have a battle, I don't know if the Southern Fairy can be ready to fight?"
His words had a faint meaning, Nangong Yu knew it very clearly, and said in a deep voice, "Since you have signed up for the meeting, you are naturally well prepared." Master Xu doesn't need to be worried. When the time comes, everyone will do their best. ”
Xu Tianying frowned, and said in a straight voice, "With Xu's understanding of the high disciples of your sect, the eldest apprentice of the Southern Fairy does not seem to be old enough, but the second apprentice is not a material for martial arts. Now that you have cultivated your internal skills to the realm of 'Qinglan', I don't know what happened to the cultivation of the second disciple of your sect?"
The internal cultivation is divided into Jinyang, Lanming, Qinglan, Zixia, Hongmaple, Midnight, and Haoyue. In fact, the "gold, blue, blue, purple, red, black and white" corresponding to the modern spiritual world is only added to the corresponding scenery in nature in this era of chewing words.
Speaking of Mu Fan's internal cultivation, Nangong Yu really had nothing to say. Five years ago, he didn't even have Jinyang cultivation, and Xu Youcai was already Lan Ming at that time. Now that five years have passed, Xu Youcai has broken through Qinglan, but Mu Fan is comparable to Jinyang, perhaps as Xu Tianying said, he is not a martial arts practitioner.
"Nangong Yimai is mainly based on swordsmanship, and internal strength is not the cause of strong martial arts. ”
"Huh...... In this way, it is still not diligent?" Xu Tianying said with a smug smile, "In this case, it is better for the Southern Fairy to prepare early, otherwise not only will the Nangong Sword Sect be removed, but the disciples will also lose their lives in vain." ”
Nangong Yu knew what he meant by "preparation", and said without changing his face, "Don't worry about the sect master, Gong Yu has recently accepted two new disciples, and this audition test is bound to win." ”
Although all three of them said that they would win the championship in the entire Martial Sect Conference, Nangong Yu never took it seriously.
Xu Tianying's face changed slightly, and he sneered, "Newly recruited disciples, I don't want to come to martial arts cultivation to be higher than your second apprentice, right?"
"Today they went down the mountain to get their sword. Three disciples in October, four disciples in ...... Thirty-six. ”
Xu Tianying naturally knew about this custom of the Nangong Sword Sect, and he was already very shocked when he heard "October", and he was even more shocked when he heard it, "Thirty-six?!...... The swordsmiths of your sect are becoming more and more unrecognizable......"
"Regardless of whether the master of the sect believes it or not, from this year onwards, this sect will no longer rely on anyone's protection. Master Xu is afraid that he will run in vain today. ”
Xu Tianying stared at her tightly, as if judging from her expression whether she was bluffing or not, but she couldn't see anything, there was not the slightest emotional fluctuation on her face, except for indifference.
Nangong Yu didn't say anything more, quietly looking out of the door, completely ignoring the door master beside him.
At this moment, a hurried shout came from afar, "Master!
This is the voice of Xu Tianying's second disciple Xu Youli, he immediately stood up, but saw four people stumbling outside the door, and when he looked at it, it was indeed his four apprentices.
Xu Youli ran at the front, slipped in front of Xu Tianying, and said anxiously, "Senior brother...... Big brother, he ......"
Xu Tianying glanced behind Xu Youli, but saw that the third apprentice Xu Youxin was holding Xu Youcai's arm, it seemed that Xu Youcai was very weak, he hurriedly ran and asked sharply, "What's the matter?!" He looked this beloved disciple up and down, but saw that his left hand was wrapped in a blood-soaked bandage, which was already the shape of a wrist, this look was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and shouted, "Where is your hand?!!"
Xu Youcai raised his head weakly, his face was already pale, his lips were bloodless, and he said weakly, "Master...... Avenge the apprentices......"
Xu Tianying was furious, turned around and grabbed Xu Youli, and yelled, "Who did it?!Who is so bold and dares to hurt my apprentice Xu Tianying?!"
Xu Youli was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he trembled and said, "Yes...... It's Mu Fan......"
Nangong Yu didn't care when he saw them suffer this catastrophe for the first time, and when he heard Mu Fan's name, he quickly stood up and glanced at Xu Tian, both of them were in disbelief.
Xu Tianying said angrily, "Impossible! How could that martial arts training waste material be injured and talented?!" At this time, he found that Xu Youli was also injured on his body, the corners of his eyes and mouth were bruised, and the clothes on his body were also covered with three or four sword marks, and when he looked back, he saw that the other two disciples were also blue and swollen, and said awe-inspiringly, "What is the matter with the injuries on your body?"
Xu Youli said, "Yes...... It was a female disciple of the Nangong Sword Gang who beat ......"
Xu Tianying's eyes widened, "Tang Shanyu?!"
Xu Youli shook his head again and again, "No...... It's a female disciple I've never seen before, and all three of us were injured by her......"
Could it be the newly accepted disciple?" Xu Tianying looked at Nangong Yu, but saw that she was also puzzled, and just as she was surprised, there was a lively scene outside the door again.
I saw Jian Yin holding Tang Shanyu, Nie Jianfeng carrying Bai Ma Xiao, and the four of them also stumbled in, followed by Li Shuming.
