Chapter 16 The joy of calling is not necessarily good
Bai Nianyi and Yang Buyi's sword competition in the sword arena also caused quite a stir in the Compassion Sword Shrine.
Those who are in the know know know that Bai Nianyi has something to do with Yang Buyi's divorce, he is a newcomer to kendo who has just washed his marrow, and he has no name or point, but for some reason he was favored by the owner of the mound and was allowed to stay in the sword pond with the seven elders of the sword mound.
There are people who don't know, and they don't even know who Bai Nianyi is, and they are asking around for news about him all the time.
At dinner, Bai Nian looked at Chen Liang, who was silent while eating, and after clearing his throat softly, he said, "Senior Chen, I'm going out tomorrow." ”
Chen Liang focused on the food in the bowl and did not raise his head. Bai Nianyi thought that Chen Liang was too lazy to take care of himself, but he heard him ask, "What is a sword?"
Here it is again, these seniors just refuse to speak well. Bai Nianyi sighed in his heart, nostalgic for a person who was disrespectful to the old with a hippie smile all day long. is still old and immortal, stretching out his hand to beat, opening his mouth to scold when scolding, and going around and around, but also a little crooked.
"The sword is a weapon, it can knock mountains and shake the sea, it can subdue evil and cut evil, and it can ask for immortality. Bai Nian was complacent, put on the words on the stone tablet, and smiled for his wit and rewarded himself with a chopstick of wild vegetables.
"I can't help myself!" Chen Liang snorted coldly, and finally raised his head and glared at Bai Nian coldly.
Bai Nianyi was uncomfortable, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said helplessly: "Senior Chen, I have been here to bury the sword pool for more than a few months, if the seniors have any advice, please teach directly, this is a god, the younger generation is really limited in brainpower." ”
I saw Chen Liang shake his head and sighed lightly: "I have had several encounters with Bai Di, although he is cynical and not very elegant, but he is talented and intelligent in this way of swordsmanship. You took his mantle, I really don't know if it's good or bad. ”
Bai Nian's face was cloudy, and he endured it again and again before he stopped the swear words that had reached his mouth.
"The sword is a gentleman of ten thousand soldiers, not afraid of the strong, not bullying the weak, let him have a long road ahead, I will be a sword to it. Do you remember?" Chen Liang looked like he hated iron but not steel.
Bai Nian, who was humbly taught, nodded a little, although he was ignorant in his heart, he still knew that Chen Liang, who had always spoken little, was pointing out to himself right now, and it was not good to scold him quietly in his heart.
Chen Liang looked at Bai Nian, who didn't know how to pretend to understand, and nodded incessantly, and sighed: "After the beating tomorrow, come back and sweep the forest with your heart." The sword intent in the buried sword pool is endless, and you still need to temper a lot to confirm your sword path. ”
The young man was stunned, raised his eyes and looked at Chen Liang angrily, but saw that Chen Liang was also looking at him expressionlessly. After a glance at each other, he was finally defeated, and he had to vent his anger over the food.
The next morning, Bai Nianyi was shouted from bed by Qiu Jin and Xu Wansheng.
"You kid is really calm, and you still sleep so beautifully?" Qiu Jin lifted the quilt and pulled Bai Nian up one by one.
Bai Nianyi looked at the sky from the window, and said angrily: "Isn't it noon?
Xu Wansheng smiled bitterly: "You really dare to say it." It's not a vicious fight today, I'm afraid you'll be beaten unilaterally! Hurry up, before you discuss the sword, you have to go to the fifth uncle with Yang Buyi to sign the book on the sword. ”
Now that Bai Nianyi and Yang do not violate the competition, the competition between the two is a foregone conclusion, Qiu Jin and the others are not good at persuading anything, if they blindly block Bai Nianyi, it will not frustrate his sharpness, and it will be harmful to his kendo practice, I just hope that Bai Nianyi will have some vision when discussing swords, and when he sees that the situation is not good, he will admit defeat as soon as possible to protect himself. Although he lost face, he was able to stay in the green mountains and not worry about running out of firewood.
It's just that at the moment, seeing that he looks lazy and lazy, the two don't know if he is really confident, or if he is swollen and fat.
Qiu Jin handed him Bai Nianyi's clothes, and said with a sneaky smile: "When the two of us came, a beautiful little girl came with me outside, I recognized it as Su Qiao'er, the new disciple of the tomb master, looking at her anxious look, could it be that you two have something to say?"
Bai Nian glanced at him, and said angrily: "Don't think about it, I lived in her house for some time before I came to the Sword Shrine, and then it was her father who sent us to the Sword Shrine together." ”
Xu Wansheng and Qiu Jin glanced at each other playfully, and said, "Childhood sweethearts, this is not." ”
"Go, go!" After Bai Nianyi got dressed, the three of them went out. Chen Liang had already entered the bamboo forest early, and there was food left for him on the table. When he was eating, Qiu Jin and Xu Wansheng chased after the black hair sitting by the lake, and there was a man-dog chase battle.
"When will they see the power of the black hair, and see if these two will dare to be so arrogant at that time. Bai Nian thought in his heart.
Out of the buried sword pool, Bai Nianyi saw Su Qiao'er leaning on the stone tablet, holding her purple sword with both hands, and pulling a stone meaninglessly with one foot.
As soon as the sun rose, the morning glow was rising, and the girl stood with her sword in her arms, her thoughtful appearance was fresh and dusty, and the three teenagers who walked out of the courtyard with their shoulders on their shoulders were sluggish for a while.
"This Su Qiao'er is so beautiful! I don't have the words to praise her for being beautiful! I didn't think I was in a hurry just now, but now this beauty is really shocking to me!" Qiu Jin touched the corner of his mouth, stunned.
"Although you are exaggerating, I still agree with you. Xu Wansheng pushed away Qiu Jin next to him, straightened his hair and clothes, caught a glimpse of the stains on his chest at some point, and hurriedly wiped it with his fingers.
Bai Nianyi also came back to his senses, this little man really saw it once, and it was a little more beautiful. Although he was amazed in his heart, he kept silent, looked at the two who were about to be demonstrated, and said with a smile: "As for it?
The two of them ignored him and took care of their own appearance.
When Su Qiao'er heard the movement, she saw the three people who were in a hurry, and she ran over in a hurry, and complained with a complaining face: "Slug, you have developed a skill? I just found someone to fight when I successfully washed the marrow?" I heard from the master that the bad boy Yang Buzhi is a real cohesive martial artist, what if he kills you?"
Bai Nianyi lowered his face, looked at Qiu Xu and the others, who were full of laughter, and said to Su Qiao'er viciously: "You can't speak! Also, call me Brother Nianyi, don't be big or small!"
Qiu Jin smiled and asked, "What's the matter with the slug?" Senior Sister Qiao'er, tell your brother Qiu about it. ”
Su Qiao'er was worried about Bai Nianyi's sword duel right now, and she was bored in her heart, she glanced at Qiu Jin, who was smiling hippie, and said angrily: "I know you!" The master said that you are the most naughty one under the knees of the third uncle, let me not talk to you, so as not to be ruined by you." ”
Qiu Jin, who was speechless by a sentence, disappeared in an instant with his elegant temperament that had been in control for a long time, and scratched his ears and cheeks in anger. Xu Wansheng on the side was happy to see it, but he didn't dare to speak out again, so as not to touch the moldy head of this sharp-toothed junior sister.
Bai Nian looked funny, looked at Su Qiao'er and said, "Don't be too arrogant, if they beat you, I don't care." ”
Su Qiao'er glanced at him, grabbed his arm, and grinned: "Don't you want to cheat, you promised to beat whoever beats me." If you are crippled today, you will not be able to protect me in the future, and you will break your promise!"
Bai Nianyi, whose scalp was numb and cursed by Su Qiao'er, didn't want to deal with her anymore, pulled away her little hand and strode forward, but stopped with a gloomy face without taking two steps, looked back at the three of them and asked in an unkind tone: "How to go to the sword field?"
As a place for the disciples to practice in the Compassion Sword Shrine, the sword arena covers a large area. The main square of the sword field is paved with bluestone, and there are only two high platforms in the middle and east of the field. The table and chairs on the eastern high platform are the seats of the sword mound lord and the elders.
This slightly low high platform in the field is where the disciples of the sword mound who usually fight about the sword are used.
Bai Nianyi came to the sword arena under the guidance of Qiu Jinxu Wansheng, but found that it was already crowded and very lively. Everyone struggled to walk in the crowd, and Bai Nianyi pulled Qiu Jindao and asked, "Are the fights usually so lively?"
Qiu Jin looked at him questioningly and motioned for him to say it again. Bai Nian had to raise his voice and ask again.
"Yang Buzhi has a lot of notoriety in our sword shrine, and there are a lot of people who don't know what is going on to see you beat him!" Qiu Jin laughed and opened a way with his hands in front of him, and said: "There are also some people who have made bets on Senior Brother Du, and you lose by losing five at a loss." ”
Bai Nian was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while. He looked at the backs of Qiu Jin and Xu Wansheng, and his intuition told him that these two people also made bets, and they definitely didn't buy him to win.
The four of them fought all the way to the eastern high platform, all panting as if they had just experienced a bloody battle.
Yang Budi's brother and sister were standing next to an old man with white hair and white beard, white robe and white sword at this time, sneering at the four of them.
Xu Wansheng breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Bai Nian: "This is the fifth uncle who presided over the sword discussion between the two of you today." Then the four of them saluted the white-haired old man.
Song Yanchu, who was in charge of discipline and law in the sword mound, waved his sleeves, glanced at Bai Nianyi, pointed to the paper on the table in front of him and said lightly: "It's still early, you first bookmark this sword, and then rest for a while, as soon as noon comes, you will go on stage to compete." ”
Bai Nian looked at Yang Buzhi, who was smiling fiercely, and walked over with a sigh of relief to write his name in the book of swords. was about to go down with Qiu Jin and the others to find a place to rest for a while, when he heard a gloomy voice from Yang Buzhi behind him: "Bai Nianyi, you are dead! humiliate me and cause me to be withdrawn from the marriage contract, and I will find it all on you today!"
Bai Nian, who was intimidated, didn't reply: "The dog that bites people doesn't bark, you bark so happily, you don't have any powerful teeth." ”
Qiu Jin Xu Wansheng laughed, Qiu Jin touched his belly and smiled: "It's good to read it! This level is about to catch up with me!haha!" Before the group left, Su Qiao'er also opened her mouth and raised her delicate fist and waved at Yang Buyi's brother and sister.
Yang Buzhi clenched the sword in his hand, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out: "Break your teeth for a while! See if you are still so arrogant!" The brother and sister also snorted coldly and left.
Just after Bai Nianyi and the four of them walked away, a group of people came behind the stands. Hong Dingzhen, who was nearly seventy years old, but had a young and handsome face, took a few old men to find their own chairs and sat down.
Song Yanchu, who was covered in white, turned around, saluted respectfully and asked with a smile: "The two junior disciples are talking about swords, and the tomb master and several senior brothers are also so interested in watching?"
Sitting on the left under the second elder Yu Zhi, Qi Youyun, who had a hot temper, laughed and said: "I often hear my little apprentice say that this Bai Nianyi has the opposite temper with him, and he is the same age, today I will take a look at how many catties this kid has, and see what is so good about the grave master who made an exception and put him in the buried sword pool." ”
Hong Dingzhen glanced at him, ignored him, looked at Song Yanchu and said: "This world is unpredictable, it's a good thing that young people are a little bloody, today let's take a good look at these juniors, whether they can take on the upcoming heavy responsibility." ”
The elders in the audience seemed to be touched by Hong Dingzhen's words, and their expressions were different, and they were all silent.
