Chapter 6: Meet to practice swords
Zhang Yongjie was about to make a move, Zhou Shaokun hurriedly put away the beef and said, "Let's put this meat away and eat it the afternoon after tomorrow." ”
Zhang Ye and the others asked, "Why is this?"
Zhou Shaokun said: "In the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, we have guests in Jinbao Garden, I have already made an appointment with Senior Sister Moon Baoer Liu and Senior Sister Yang, and this meat will be eaten in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow." ”
Zhang Yongjie nodded and said, "It just so happens that I also asked Senior Sister Li Xiaohuan to come up the mountain, so I have to entertain her." ”
Zhang Erren glanced at each other, and they both felt an inexplicable trace of worry, because this afternoon, as soon as Li Xiaohuan appeared, Liu Qingqing walked away, this is something they have personally experienced, presumably there are many disagreements between the two sisters on weekdays.
Ye Feichi didn't know this, and said: "It's okay, tomorrow I will ask the family to bring some beef over, and we will set up a table the day after tomorrow to entertain Moon Bao'er's sisters and sisters." ”
Ye Feichi is also a famous figure, but he is different from the other famous disciples of the Thousand Island Sect. Other disciples became famous, either because of their martial arts or because of their looks.
Ye Feichi is because he went to the provincial urban and rural test two years ago, and he was promoted to high school at the age of sixteen, and he was the first Xie Yuan. Therefore, the Ye family quickly became a wealthy upstart in Baoqing Mansion, with a strong family background and a lot of fertile land.
Lifting people, in the Ming Dynasty, they already have the qualifications to be officials, and they can be on an equal footing with the county lord, but the people in the rivers and lakes don't care too much about this, and the three brothers don't feel any difference on weekdays.
After eating the beef, Zhang Yongjie remembered to announce a major event, which he learned from Li Xiaohuan in the evening.
From May 20 to the first day of June, the Qiandao faction will conduct a martial arts assessment for disciples under the age of 20, and select seven winning disciples to reward each with a sharp sword, and form the Seven Swords of the Thousand Islands, which is the Thousand Islands Sword.
Zhang Yongjie said: "Our brothers in the Jinbao Garden of Yunding Mountain, since the death of the master, the martial arts have been delayed, this time this faction competes in the sword, we focus on participating, what is the false name of the Seven Swords of the Thousand Islands, let's give it to other brothers." ”
Ye Feichi had a different opinion, and said at the moment: "I think that the Qiandao Seven Swords selected this time must be the next generation of elders or candidate disciples of the sect master, so if we want to participate, it is best to get a ranking, at least it must be distinctive, and let the entire Qiandao Sect know the existence of our Jinbao Garden." ”
Zhang Yongjie listened to what he said, shook his head and said: "Third brother, this is not like Xie Yuan in your imperial examination, this is a martial arts competition." If you have to show your face in the entire Thousand Islands faction, I think I have to let Jinbao also participate. ”
Zhou Shaokun and Ye Feichi looked at the dog, imagining that other brothers and sisters were competing with a dog in the ring, and they were suddenly full of pictures and felt funny.
After laughing, the three of them began to sullen again, Jinbaoyuan already belonged to the most marginal mountain villa of the Thousand Island Sect, and the number of people was also the smallest, as if it was already dispensable.
The three of them discussed for a while, and there were still nearly fifty days before the day of the Thousand Islands Sword Capture, and they decided to prepare for the battle and practice martial arts from tomorrow.
Think of a thousand paths at night, and take the same path the next morning.
The three brothers danced with knives and guns all morning, and they all felt extremely boring, and they really didn't know how to cultivate without being taught by a good teacher. The three brothers had to practice some sparse and ordinary moves repeatedly, and the day passed in a mess.
On the third day, because the distinguished guests were going to come to the door today, the three brothers got up early in the morning and cleaned the Jinbao Garden. Zhou Shaokun went to the garden to pick a few vegetables, took out some bacon from the warehouse, and began to get busy.
Genting Mountain is from the moon Bao'er, one mountain, the other down, and it only takes two quarters of an hour to go up the mountain.
Just after noon on this day, Zhou Shaokun looked down the mountain, and after a while, he saw two female disciples out of Yangliu Garden. The first person was cheerful and lively, it must be Yang Lanlan, and the second person was calm and steady, it was Liu Qingqing.
Kimbao hissed a few times, and then ran down the hill to meet his old master.
Yangliuyuan often has fellow brothers visiting the door, but Jinbaoyuan is rarely visited by fellow disciples. One is because there are only a few men on the mountain, and the other is because the mountain road is steep, so it is impossible to ride horses, so you can only hike up the mountain, and everyone is in trouble.
So Zhang Zhouye and they were extremely enthusiastic and made a big table of dishes. Although Ye Feichi met Liu Yang for the first time, everyone was seventeen or eighteen years old, and they quickly talked about it, like friends who had known each other for a long time.
Yang Lanlan was more lively, and said with a smile: "Occasionally looking at Yunding Mountain at the bottom of the mountain, it is a little mysterious, and the garden seems to be in the clouds." Coming up the mountain is indeed a place where the gods live, up and down the mountain, like two worlds. ”
Zhang Yongjie thought what she said was funny, and teased her: "Yes, when I was a child, I often heard Master and Master call Moon Bao'er, Moon Bao'er, we all thought it was a small mountain bag on the moon." ”
The crowd laughed and feasted. After the meal, Zhou Shaokun took Liu Yang and the others to walk around the garden, but Yang Lanlan was very excited, sometimes going away, sometimes returning.
Zhou Shaokun said: "Senior Sister Liu, you see, Senior Sister Yang is happy like a little bird, chirping, and she is full of smiles at any time. But I rarely see Senior Sister Liu, you give a smiling face, Senior Sister, are you unhappy?"
Liu Qingqing smiled at Zhou Shaokun, then returned to normal and said, "No, I'm very happy." ”
This is the second time Zhou Shaokun has seen Liu Qingqing smile, but it is extremely unnatural. Liu Qingqing gives people the feeling of being cold and silent. This made Zhou Shaokun nervous for a while, and he didn't know what to say, so the two walked strangely in Jinbao Garden.
I don't know how long it took, Yang Lanlan rushed over, and said with a panicked face: "Sister Qing, Senior Brother Zhou, come quickly, something is wrong, Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Ye are fighting." ”
Zhou Shaokun was shocked when he heard this: "What? The fight started? Let's go and see." Liu Qingqing frowned, and hurried away. When the three of them came to the front yard, they saw Zhang Yongjie and Ye Feichi falling on the grass and scuffling.
When Zhang Ye and the others saw Zhou Liuyang and the others coming, they stopped fighting, stood up and patted the dust on their bodies.
Zhang Yongjie said with a smile: "Senior Sister Liu, our two brothers are practicing martial arts. The Thousand Islands are about to seize the sword, and our brothers and sisters can't be left behind, so we must practice diligently. ”
Yang Lanqi said: "The two senior brothers are practicing martial arts, and the Thousand Islands are fighting with each other, haha, you are exactly the same as the young men fighting in the fields under the mountain, and it is really a big joke." ”
Zhang Ye and the others felt embarrassed, so they had to cover it up with a smile, Zhang Yongjie thought in his heart: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the brothers and sisters in other gardens have long laughed at their bad kung fu, and I have long been used to it." Maybe one day the opportunity will come, and I will learn the best martial arts, and I must show it in front of you to surprise you, hehe. ”
Yang Lanlan said at this time: "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Ye, why don't you have a few tricks with your little sister." ”
Zhang Ye and the others had not yet allowed it, but Yang Lanlan made the first move. As soon as he made contact, Zhang Ye only felt that his arm was numb, as if it was not on his body, and inexplicably turned to the back of his body, and the two of them couldn't move.
Yang Lanlan said proudly: "Haha, the little sister wins with one enemy and two enemies, one move, I am the junior sister at the bottom of the mountain, and I am the senior sister when I come up the mountain." ”
Zhang Yongjie shouted: "Let go, you hurt us." ”
Seeing this, Liu Qingqing took a flying step and put his left hand on Yang Lanlan's shoulder. Two internal forces came out, and I saw Yang Lanlan's arm trembling violently, and she bounced away Zhang Ye and Yang.
Zhou Shaokun was stunned, and Liu Qingqing shook the three of them away with one hand with his internal force, which was something he couldn't even think of.
Liu Qingqing turned around and saw Zhou Shaokun stunned. thought that afternoon, with a wave of his hand, Zhou Shaokun did not dodge, and was slapped in the face. It is estimated that the martial arts of the juniors and disciples on the mountain are really limited, and his own hand just now scared him.
Zhang Yongjie thought that his martial arts were low, so he just took this opportunity to ask them for more advice, and immediately said: "Senior Sister Yang, you just attacked secretly, let's compare again." ”
Yang Lanlan had already seen that the senior brother's kung fu on the mountain was sparse and ordinary, far lower than herself, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you fight a few more times, you will also lose." "Take a step now, ready to take the call.
Liu Qingqing thought to herself that this Zhang Yongjie was also the senior brother of Jinbaoyuan, but he couldn't let him be too ugly, so he said unhappily: "Sister Lan, can you be?" You should ask Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Ye for advice, how can you show off your skills like this, and what kind of system you have become." ”
Yang Lanlan was rarely reprimanded by Liu Qingqing, and when she heard this, she stuck out her tongue and retreated to the side, but she didn't dare to compete again. I had to say: "Little sister is rude, please Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Ye Haihan." ”
Zhang Yongjie put away his usual naughty state, and explained with a serious face: "Senior sister has seen the outside, I don't mean anything." It's just that the Thousand Islands are about to seize the sword, you see how the three of us brothers can be on the stage with this martial art, and won't they laugh off their big teeth when the time comes? So I want to practice more in these two months, so that I won't lose too ugly when the time comes. ”
Ye Feichi, Zhou Shaokun nodded yes when they heard it, the five of them discussed for a while, Yang Lanlan proposed: "Senior sister, we will often come to Jinbaoyuan in the future and practice swords with senior brothers, do you say okay?"
Before Liu Qingqing could speak, Zhou Shaokun hurriedly said: "This is great, in the future, our senior brothers in Jinbaoyuan can follow Senior Sister Liu to learn swordsmanship." ”
Zhang Ye and the others looked at each other when they saw Zhou Shaokun's expression. Looking at Ye Feichi's eyes, it seemed that he was communicating with Zhang Yongjie again: Isn't this Senior Sister Liu quite interesting to Senior Brother Shaokun?
Zhang Yongjie nodded secretly, his eyes flickered, as if in response: I'm afraid it's all interesting.
Yang Lanlan clapped her hands and said: "My Sister Qing's kung fu is very powerful, they think Li Xiaohuan's kung fu is the highest, and I think my Sister Qing is the most powerful." ”
Yang Lanlan was talking, and when she saw Li Xiaohuan coming up the mountain, she hurriedly hid behind Liu Qingqing, and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Zhang Yongjie felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and thought in his heart that although Liu Qingqing and Li Xiaohuan were a little incompatible, after all, the same brothers and sisters would not turn against each other, at least they would maintain the harmony on their faces, and said with a smile: "Xiaohuan, you came just in time." ”
Liu Qingqing also felt embarrassed, and didn't know what to say, so she got up immediately to say goodbye and went down the mountain with Yang Lanlan. Zhou Shaokun was a little melancholy when he saw Liu Qingqing and Yang Lanlan leaving.
Everyone looked at Liu Qingqing and the others leaving, and Li Xiaohuan smiled helplessly. Zhang Yongjie asked, "Xiao Huan, what's wrong with your senior sisters, why does Senior Sister Liu always avoid you?"
Li Xiaohuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "My senior sister is always worried, which makes it difficult for people to get close. So I don't know, and I don't dare ask. ”
Zhang Yongjie said: "Xiao Huan, Senior Sister Yang Lanlan subdued me and Senior Brother Ye with one move, this time the Thousand Islands won the sword, our Jinbaoyuan is going to make a big fool, what do you think about this?"
Li Xiaohuan knew that this Zhang Yongjie usually spoke with humor, so he immediately learned Zhang Yongjie's tone, spread his hands and said, "Didn't you already call me to the mountain?"
Zhang Yongjie smiled dumbly and replied: "Senior sister, you are really smart, and I asked you to go up the mountain to let you pass on a few sets of swordsmanship to us in the future." Said and looked at Zhou Shaokun for a moment, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhou, in the future, you will learn swordsmanship with Senior Sister Liu, and Feichi and I will learn swordsmanship with Xiao Huan, and we will see who of our senior brothers can learn faster in the future." ”
At the moment, the three brothers agreed like this, Zhou Shaokun thought in his heart, looking at Senior Sister Liu's expression, he didn't seem to like this Li Xiaohuan very much, and he had to work harder to make a long face for Senior Sister Liu.
In the evening of the next day, Liu Qingqing and Yang Lanlan came up to the mountain again and taught Zhou Shaokun to practice swordsmanship on the side. At first, the three brothers Zhang Yongjie and Ye Feichi were watching from the sidelines, and then they couldn't help but exchange ideas, how to use this sword and how to use that sword.
Later, only Liu Qingqing came up to the mountain alone, but Zhang Yongjie and Ye Feichi went down the mountain to find Li Xiaohuan to learn swordsmanship every afternoon, and Zhou Shaokun was often the only one on the mountain.
On this day, the wind was blowing, Zhou Shaokun looked at the sky, and thought that if he stayed until evening, it might rain, and Senior Sister Liu might not come up the mountain today. Zhou Shaokun looked at the pine tree on the side of the mountain for a while, and then returned to the courtyard.
After a while, a little drizzle began to fall, followed by a torrential downpour, and soon the ground was completely wet.
