Chapter 5: A Mentor and a Friend (II)

Feeling the morning sun shining on his body, the faint fragrance of medicine lingering on the tip of his nose, he only felt that his whole body was warm, Yang Ning did not rush to open his eyes after waking up, but carried out a gong to probe the situation of his body, and finally determined that last night's internal and external attack, the dilemma of the poisonous invasion has become a thing of the past, in addition, Yang Ning was also surprised to find that the qi and blood around his body not only did not lose as expected, but became more and more full and lively. With doubts in his heart, Yang Ning slowly opened his eyes, his gaze swept over the Qingluo gauze account, and fell on Hua Wuxue, who was sitting on the chair in front of the window and was carefully winding the blood-red short bow, remembering the identity of that young man, Yang Ning frowned slightly, lifted the thick quilt, and got up to get out of bed. His slightly rough movements touched the wind chimes at the four corners of the yarn tent, and the melodious bells became more and more ethereal in the cold morning, alarming Hua Wuxue, who was engrossed in it.

Hua Wuxue's somewhat distracted gaze fell on Yang Ning, a strange look flashed in the depths of her eyes, and she got up and saluted: "Zijing Gongzi has woken up, how did you rest last night?"

Yang Ning glanced at Hua Wuxue, who had shot an arrow at him and almost killed himself, the revenge that was originally hidden in his heart had disappeared, no matter what, this person didn't take advantage of the danger last night, so he didn't have to worry about that little bit of mustard. Looking down at the snow-white bedclothes on his body, he said lightly: "It's okay, where are my clothes, swords and other belongings?"

Hua Wuxue smiled slightly, and said: "Childe's clothes have been soaked by the rain, and they are stained with mud and sand, although they have been cleaned and ironed, but they have not completely dried, and a replacement of clothes has been prepared under the child, as for the weapons and handy items of the childe, they have been collected by Mr. Wu with him, and after the childe has changed his clothes and had breakfast, he will accompany the son to see the gentleman, I don't know what the son wants?"

Yang Ning frowned, although he knew who he was rescued by last night after seeing Hua Wuxue, but if he really wanted to see Wu Cheng, the master of Fengtai Pavilion, he still felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, he didn't know if Wu Cheng knew his identity, if he didn't know, if he didn't know, what would he do to himself? Is it to show favor to himself with this favor, or is there another purpose, no matter what, after Ximen Rin's matter, he no longer believes that the people around Luo Chengyu will look at him differently because of his life experience. After looking inward again, and making sure that there were no more troublesome hidden dangers in his body than "lingering", Yang Ning reluctantly replied: "Okay, I'll go see him." ”

Seeing Yang Ning's agreement, Hua Wuxue clapped her palms and walked in from outside the door, one holding a tray in her hand, on which was placed a set of white underwear, a light blue silk tuny, and a set of blue satin robes, and the other maid was holding a copper basin and a scarf. After the two maids skillfully served Yang Ning to wash, they helped him dress and tie his hair, although Yang Ning didn't know how to be a woman, he could also detect that these clothes were clearly made overnight, and the ironed material was still a little stiff, but the feeling of rubbing the skin was very comfortable, and it was obviously a good texture. Especially the outer robe, not only straight fit, but also embroidered on the hem with a few sparse and bright snow bamboo, whether it is embroidery or artistic conception, it is outstanding, even in the past when the palace clothes must be splendid, may not always see such a female red.

Yang Ning covered up the feelings in his heart, and swept away the porridge and side dishes served by the maid, and when he was still unsatisfied, Hua Wuxue served a bowl of hot soup, saying that Mr. Wu ordered him to take it. Looking at the black decoction and smelling the strong medicinal fragrance, Yang Ning couldn't help but think of the days when he was a child, he just felt like the stomach was turning over and over, and subconsciously turned his face away, and muttered: "No need, my poisonous injury is fine, it doesn't matter if you don't drink this medicine." ”

Hua Wuxue thought that Yang Ning was worried about something strange in the medicine, and couldn't help but smile secretly, if she wanted to do something to him, a few bowls of soup and medicine poured last night were enough, why bother to arouse suspicion at this time, if it weren't for Wu Cheng's worries that this young man was cold, why bother to watch him drink the medicine? Just as she was about to explain it to Yang Ning in euphemistic terms, Hua Wuxue inadvertently noticed that Yang Ning's fluttering eyes had a touch of fear, like her younger brother who was frail and sick and always unwilling to take medicine. He never imagined that this unruly and murderous young man would be afraid to drink bitter medicine, so he forced a smile and said: "Zijing Gongzi, I will order them to prepare honey water, and wait for Gongzi to drink the medicine before using it." ”

When Yang Ning heard this, he only felt that the roots of his ears were hot, and said in a muffled voice: "No need." After snatching the medicine bowl and drinking it cleanly in one go, a touch of red glow flashed on the slightly pale and delicate face, Hua Wuxue looked at it in his eyes, and only felt that the original vigilance and suspicion were swept away, no matter how ruthless this young man was, but after all, he was just a big child. I felt that the softness in my heart was touched, Hua Wuxue decided not to think about Yang Ning's true identity anymore, and not to speculate why she injured this young man with an arrow that day, obviously the Savior's heart, but in the end he was transferred to Wu Cheng's guard, unconsciously, a trace of resentment in his heart disappeared invisibly, and he smiled and asked the maid to hand over the honey, Yang Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally drank the honey with the bitterness that lingered in his mouth, but his condensed eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of innocent joy.

Qiu Sheng stood at the door, a smile appeared on his lips, looking at the warm and funny scene in the room, the sorrow that made him toss and turn last night seemed to have dissipated a lot, although Wu Cheng's care of Yang Ning made him feel moved in his heart, but he knew that Wu Cheng was an unpredictable person, he could be ruthless immediately after treating you kindly, or he could gently help you up after throwing you into the quagmire, who knew that his kindness last night would not become a trap today? It's just that because of his identity, he can only secretly stop some of Wu Cheng's excessive actions at most, but he can't restrict other harmless small means. But seeing Yang Ning's defenseless appearance in front of him, he believed that even if Wu Cheng was hard-hearted, he would definitely not do anything to be bitter and hateful.

One of Qiu Sheng's strengths is that he is good at concealing his existence, even Yang Ning, without careful defense, was only when Qiu Sheng thought of Wu Cheng's unpredictable thoughts, and he looked at the door consciously. Seeing Qiu Sheng at a glance, Yang Ning's pupils subconsciously contracted, slowly put down the honey, a very cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he glared at Qiu Sheng with a wary and hostile gaze. It's not because Qiu Sheng described him coldly, nor because he described him as ugly, but as soon as Yang Ning saw him, he faintly thought of the person who alarmed him last night, and immediately felt hostility in his heart.

Qiu Sheng knew in his heart that he didn't think he had anything wrong with what happened last night, so he just smiled proudly, walked into the room, and said with a gentle expression: "Zijing Gongzi has already eaten, presumably his mental and physical strength have all recovered, Mr. Wu is waiting for Gongzi in the study, if Gongzi is ready, please go to meet below." ”

Hua Wuxue's heart moved when he heard this, he knew that Qiu Sheng was the most eccentric one in the Heavenly Group, if it was about identity and status, he was neither high nor low, ranking sixth in the Heavenly Group, but in the face of Lian Wuxian and others, who came later, he had always only maintained superficial etiquette, but he respected some of Yan Shanwei's colleagues with lower status and old qualifications. Gradually, everyone knew his temperament, except for his colleagues when he joined the command of the Fire Phoenix County Lord, he was always more cold than close to others, rude more than respectful. This person's temperament is actually affectionate and righteous, but it is extremely difficult to get his approval. Yang Ning revealed hostility, if it was usual, even if Qiu Sheng was unwilling to disobey Wu Cheng's orders, he would speak coldly and sarcastically, but today, although Qiu Sheng was as cold and arrogant on the surface, his words were gentle and polite, and he obviously had a special respect for Yang Ning, which was very interesting. When he was thinking deeply, he saw that Yang Ning's condensed expression gradually eased, and he got up and said to Qiu Sheng deeply: "I was busy treating poison last night, and it was a little reckless to make a move, please forgive me for the disrespect." ”

Hua Wuxue was even more surprised this time, although he and Yang Ning had not been together for a long time, he also knew that this young man was unruly and unruly, and he was by no means a thoughtful person, even if he was arrogant and rude to His Royal Highness the Prince, he didn't expect to be so respectful to Qiu Sheng. looked at it carefully, but saw Yang Ning and Qiu Sheng staring at each other, although their eyes were deep and invisible, they both showed the same warmth, and they couldn't help but be extremely surprised in their hearts.

Yang Ning didn't have such complicated thoughts in his heart, after he released his hostility, he was lightly resolved by Qiu Sheng, and he already knew that although the martial arts of the person in front of him were not as good as his own, he was resolute and indifferent, and he was not much inferior to himself. In that situation last night, if this person really had the intention to cause harm, he would definitely be dead or alive. Thinking that I am safe and sound now, I naturally want to thank you. What's more, both of them are essentially people who like to rely on intuition rather than wisdom to judge the situation, and since they don't turn against each other, they will inevitably have a feeling of sympathy. Therefore, Yang Ning's gift is sincere. Qiu Sheng could naturally feel Yang Ning's thoughts, and pointed directly to his heart through appearances, which was his strength, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in his heart, and somehow remembered the past when he was captured by the Lord of Huofeng County, he thought that he would definitely die but was exonerated from the past. Regardless of the county lord's kindness to him, compared to Luo Chengyu's gentleness and courtesy, he seems to prefer the simplicity and straightforwardness of the young man in front of him. Therefore, even if he has to be an enemy of the entire Yan Shanwei's colleagues, he must do his best to protect the only bloodline of the benefactor.

Thinking of this, Qiu Sheng unabashedly showed a pleasant smile and stretched out his hand to Yang Ning, although this smile looked distorted and terrifying because of the scar on his face, but Yang Ning could still feel the kindness in the heart of this cold-looking man, if it was someone else, he would still smile with the same kindness, and then salute with his arm. But Yang Ning's eyes flashed with a cold glint, not only did he not stretch out his hand to shake it, but instead held his hand behind him, and cold hostility flashed between his eyebrows. In this short moment, he had already remembered the identity of the man in front of him, although Luo Chengyu showed impeccable sincerity, and last night Fengtai Pavilion Lord Wu Cheng and these people in front of him who were obviously Luo Chengyu's cronies and subordinates did not take advantage of the danger, but this did not allow him to turn enemies into friends with Luo Chengyu, in this case, why should he increase his emotional shackles on himself? Isn't last night's lesson enough? If it weren't for that brotherhood, how could he have drunk that cup of poisonous wine and fallen into the dilemma of near-dying, and even more so that he owed the kindness of these people in front of him.

With a decision in his heart, he lowered his eyes, and Yang Ning said indifferently: "I have been thanked for saving each other, but there is one thing I want to ask clearly." You must have been in trouble last night, right? Otherwise, no one would have found me in the rain in the alley. If you hadn't alarmed my practice, I wouldn't have delayed it until this morning. Speaking of which, Your Excellency is just a merit and a demerit, if you are nosy in the future, it may not be just a sword matter, with the condensation in my palm, if you can't take your life, I will also be called the Demon Emperor in vain. ”

Hua Wuxue was originally suspicious of the relationship between Yang Ning and Qiu Sheng, but when she heard Yang Ning's prickly words, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Qiu Sheng, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this colleague, who had always been arrogant and didn't like to get close to people, really had a good impression of the young man in front of him, and he didn't expect Yang Ning to reveal his arrogant and unreasonable nature so quickly. Angered in her heart, Hua Wuxue couldn't help but snort coldly: "Zijing Gongzi is too much, if it weren't for Brother Qiu discovering you, I'm afraid that now Gongzi has fallen in the cold rain, Gongzi was delirious last night, and he just used a sword to face each other, not only Brother Qiu won't care, even Hua can figure it out, but Fang Caigongzi's words are more vicious than a sword, could it be that if he is the identity of the Demon Emperor, he can make revenge on En, regardless of right and wrong?"

Yang Ning didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't look at Hua Wuxue, a delicate and slightly childish face had already condensed with severe frost, and he just looked at Qiu Sheng lightly, as if looking at lifeless wood and stone. Qiu Sheng was not annoyed, but just looked at this pretending to be a cold teenager with a little pity, he had lived in the mountains and wilderness for many years, and his intuition after thousands of tempers was not inferior to Yang Ning's innate talent, so even if Yang Ning spoke sharply, he could also feel the softness of this young man's heart, not to mention that last night when this young man was most vulnerable and helpless, the contact between the two had made him understand a lot of things. Qiu Sheng sighed secretly, turned around and said, "Qiu has been taught, so naturally there will be no more things in the future, but for now, let's ask Gongzi to meet Mr. Wu." Mr. Wu is Mr. Xixi of His Royal Highness the Prince, although his temperament is peaceful, but he attaches the most importance to the number of courtesies, although the son is engaged to His Royal Highness the Prince, but after all, he is a junior in front of Mr. Wu, Qiu is just a guard, it doesn't hurt for the son to talk like this, but there must be no rudeness in front of Mr. Wu, otherwise it will not look good in front of His Royal Highness the Prince in the future. ”

Yang Ning's eyebrows raised, except in front of the Fire Phoenix County Lord and the Hidden Emperor, no one had asked him to be respectful, although he could feel the kindness hidden in Qiu Sheng's warning words, but Yang Ning still had a wisp of impulse in his heart, and he didn't say anything, but a pair of eyes had been fused with ice and fire, giving birth to infinite fighting spirit, if he could convince this Mr. Wu, did it mean that he was stronger than Luo Chengyu?

As Qiu Sheng walked out of the door, along the forest path mixed with snow and mud, walked for a long time, only to see that the forest gradually thinned out, turned the last corner, Yang Ning only felt suddenly enlightened, in front of him was a small pond with a width of 100 zhang and a length of half a mile, the pond was full of residual lotus and decaying grass, but under the background of the white frost and snow on the shore, it was wild and interesting. At the end of the trail is a small pier with wooden planks that are clean and dust-free, not stained with a single slush. There is a black painting boat parked on the side of the wharf, the slender hull is delicate and beautiful, the hull is painted with white varnish and flower and wood patterns, the portholes on both sides of the cabin are hung with embroidered curtains, and the corners of the curtain are falling with light silver bells, although they are separated by a distance, you can still see the delicate pattern of the plum blossoms and the moon above, under the cold wind, the red plums seem to be alive, accompanied by a pleasant silver bell ringing, which makes the whole heart feel ethereal.

Yang Ning couldn't help but stop, and somehow he had a timid thought, but at this time, an elegant and graceful voice had already come from the cabin: "Is it Zijing? Yang Ning groaned slightly, and finally walked towards the painting boat, while Qiu Sheng stopped and stood on the shore, looking at Yang Ning's back, a worried look flashed in his eyes.

Yang Ning lowered his head and walked into the cabin door, looking up, only to see that the cabin was as pure as a snow cave, with a bamboo mat on the left and right, a straw futon on each side, a black wooden box in the corner of the cabin, and a tea set on it, and nothing else. His eyes fell on Wu Cheng who was sitting on his left hand, Yang Ning couldn't help but be slightly stunned, although the light in the cabin was dim, it did not prevent him from seeing Wu Cheng clearly, especially the dim eyes, although they looked empty and dull, but when he turned his head to look, Yang Ning still had the feeling that all his thoughts had been seen through.

After staying for a while, it wasn't until the sound of Wu Cheng inviting him to sit in his ears repeatedly came to Yang Ning that he came to his senses, hesitated slightly, and sat down on the futon opposite Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng got up and picked up the teapot and cup on the box, then sat down and poured two cups of tea, both of which were nine points full, and there was no drop of tea overflowing, he raised the tea in front of him and took a sip, raised his glass to Yang Ning, Yang Ning looked at Wu Cheng's flowing movements, and subconsciously took a sip of tea.

Wu Cheng seemed to be able to see Yang Ning's movements, although Yang Ning's gestures were as light as leaves falling and flowers flying, showing a joyful smile, he turned around and lifted a thin rope from the pond, but it was a sealed bamboo tube, took out a square towel casually, wiped off the water droplets on the bamboo tube, and then took out a silver knife from his sleeve, and gently swiped the bamboo tube into two halves, but inside were some melons and fruits that were out of season but still fresh.

Wu Cheng casually took out a lotus root, cut it into thin slices with a silver knife, and then picked up a piece of lotus root and handed it to Yang Ning and said: "These are specially kept in the ice cave, and they were only melted with pond water this morning. The tone was indifferent and cordial, but there was no trace of uncertainty.

Yang Ning wanted to refute that he had never eaten only the freshest lotus root seeds, but as soon as he touched those gloomy eyes, his heart softened, and he said a little depressedly: "I like it very much." After saying that, I took a bite, only to feel a fresh and cold breath lingering in my mouth, although a little less fresh, but more cool, I actually felt relaxed, I couldn't help but eat the cut lotus root slices in a few bites.

Wu Cheng smiled slightly, picked up a pickled green plum with a silver knife and said: "This green plum is naturally very good when it is just picked, but it is a little more bitter, but after pickling, it adds a little sweetness to the astringency, don't you taste it?"

Yang Ning was slightly stunned, although his cooking skills are extraordinary, but he really hasn't tasted the taste of green plums, after all, he has grown up in the palace since he was born, although all kinds of rare ingredients are readily available, but these mountain and wild interests are rarely seen, not to mention that there are few green plums in Luoyang, carefully twist the plums and put them in his mouth, first feel a wisp of sweetness, and then the inherent astringent taste of green plums is filled in the mouth, the two tastes are contradictory and perfectly mixed together, I only feel that the five senses seem to be a little more sensitive.

Although he couldn't see it, Wu Cheng seemed to be able to feel Yang Ning's slightly frowning brows, as well as the surprise in his eyes that was difficult to hide, he picked up an orange casually, broke it with a silver knife, and his white and slender fingers set off the golden-colored orange, revealing a calm and calm beauty, this time without waiting for him to speak, Yang Ning had already taken the orange and used the delicious juice to dilute the thick taste left by the green plum.

Refusing the pears that Wu Cheng handed over again, Yang Ning said as coldly as possible: "The tea melons and fruits have already been used, presumably Your Excellency should have something to say, I think Luo Chengyu's mentor is not a scholar who only knows how to enjoy the blessings of the mouth, last night, Your Excellency's help was good, if you want to have something to report in the future, although it doesn't hurt to say it." But Your Excellency had better be sensible, and if you were really hostile, last night would have been a lose-lose situation at best, so I don't think I owe you anything, so it's better not to go too far. Mr. Wu also forgive me for speaking abruptly, I don't like to drag mud and water, so I will be blunt. ”

Wu Cheng smiled slightly, did not get angry, but turned around and took out a tray covered with yellow silk from a boxwood box in the corner of the cabin, put it on the deck between the two, and lifted the yellow silk, which contained two swords, Chunjun and Ning Qing, as well as a Tao Xun, a token of Yanshan red jade, in addition, there was only a bright yellow purse, in which some scattered gold beads were placed as coils.

Yang Ning's eyes flashed, he reached out and picked up the Ning Qing sword and tied it to his forearm, then put away Tao Xun and his purse, his gaze stayed on the token for a moment, but he didn't reach out to take it.

Wu Cheng showed a smile on his lips, picked up the token, stroked the inscription engraved on the body of the warm and moderate red jade plate with his fingers, and read word by word: "Yanshan Leshi, Yishui Song Sad." The fourth practice of the Yanshan Weitian group is traceless. Zi Jing knows that if he loses the token, all the efforts of Lian Wuxian in Youji will come to naught, according to the iron law set by the county lord, if Yan Shanwei's subordinates transfer the token to others, that person will automatically become the guest of Youji, and he can get the help of Fengtai Pavilion everywhere in the world, but he has to accept the questioning of His Royal Highness the Prince, the commander of Yanshanwei and the master of Fengtai Pavilion, if one person refuses to forgive his crime, it will be the end of death and reputation. ”

Yang Ning's hand hidden in his sleeve couldn't help but clench the Ning Qing Sword, when Lian Wuxian gave away the token, he didn't hesitate at all, he didn't take it seriously, he just thought that even if it was a little inappropriate, it was just a little trouble for Lian Wuxian and even Luo Chengyu, I didn't expect that Lian Wuxian had taken such a big risk, and his heart turned back and forth, and he didn't know how to speak. If Lian Wuxian is punished for this matter, and he will pay it back, Qingping will definitely regret it for the rest of her life, after all, although her righteous sister is as fierce as fire, her heart is really kind. But at this moment, I don't know if it's too late to return the token to Wu Cheng?

Wu Cheng smiled slightly, casually stuffed the token to Yang Ning, and said with a smile: " Okay, you can rest assured in this matter, since Lian Wuxian has such courage, he has the courage to bear the consequences, not to mention that although he is bold, he is not a reckless person, since he has done so, he is sure that he can escape the catastrophe, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World will not be difficult to recruit in person, the commander of Ximen is now limited in his powers, and he is thinking about it behind closed doors, and he should not go against the will of His Highness, Wu has always been kind to people, and he will not be embarrassed to train guards, so Zijing can only accept this token with confidence, and if it is useful in the future, there is no need to scruple, no matter what, if you can't be a friend, you shouldn't be an enemy, right?”

Yang Ning took the token, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, although he was not good at intrigue, but he still heard Wu Cheng's extraneous meaning, if he didn't take this token, then the life and death of Lian Wuxian might not be in his own hands, and if he took this token, he was admitting some kind of agreement, no matter which choice he had, it was not something he was willing to accept. After hesitating for a moment, he finally received the token in his arms, no matter what, the three meetings with Lian Wuxian were not disgusted, although there was a conflict, but he was not disgusted, if he really harmed such a master because of Lian Wuji's other eyes, he was extremely reluctant. But he can't just accept it, he sighed a little in his heart, he picked up the pure Jun sword, and said lightly: "This sword is called Chunjun, Wu Hook is more thorny, and Chunjun Zhanlu is the world's famous sword, I am willing to exchange this sword for this token, please transfer it to Luo Chengyu, just say that this sword should be repaid for the past kindness, Xuanyuan Tai's old friendship is broken, in this life and this life, I just hope to never see each other, if he sees each other in the future, I swear not to stand with him, and when the time comes, I will divide the victory and defeat, so that he does not complain." ”

Wu Cheng was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand to take Chun Jun and sighed: "Giving a sword to return the favor can be regarded as a beginning and an end." I accept this sword on behalf of His Royal Highness, and I hope that you will never see each other, otherwise you will turn against each other and make your relatives bitter and hateful. ”

After sighing, Wu Cheng pulled out the sword out of the sheath, the sword light is like autumn water hibiscus, the dim cabin is reflected as if in the middle of the day, but the cold brilliance makes the hair stand upside down, Wu Cheng groaned: "Yang Qihua, such as the hibiscus began to emerge, look at its lines, rotten like the stars of the line, look at its light, muddy like the overflow of water in the pond, watch its break, rock and rock like trivial stones, look at its talents, radiant like ice release, this so-called pure hook." The ancients must not have deceived me, but it's a pity that Wu couldn't see it, and he couldn't see the style of the famous sword, which can be described as a lifelong regret. ”

Yang Ning couldn't help but say: "You really can't see it, but I see that you move freely, and I can't hide your every move from you, I really can't believe that you are blind." ”

Wu Cheng sighed and said: "My eyes were destroyed by poison when I was ten years old, and I can't see from now on, I've been used to it over the years, in fact, Zi Jing moves lightly, even if I'm blind, I can barely hear, but Zi Jing must be restless, changes in people's hearts can affect the surrounding airflow, so I can detect your movements and expressions from the small airflow changes, and even your mind can guess one or two, which is why I chose this closed environment to see you." And the silver bells tied to the curtain outside the porthole are ringing in the wind, which is also carefully arranged by me, the volume of these silver bells is actually slightly different, so although they vibrate at the same time, they have their own changes in the palace and the corners of the palace, I don't know my eyes, so I am the best at controlling people with music, and the most commonly used is the silver bell, this silver bell soul deterrent array can faintly impress the trapped people, Zijing doesn't think that today's mood is very easy to shake?"

Yang Ning's heart shook slightly, and he hurriedly used the mental method of "Tempting Forbearance", but after a moment, his mood was as cold as ice and snow, and he clenched the Ning Qing Sword, and he said sharply: "You are so bold, I originally wondered that you were a blind man, so I was quite respectful to you, I didn't expect you to take the opportunity to plot against me, don't you think I can't kill you?"

Wu Cheng was not afraid, and said lightly: "It's not that I'm not afraid, but I know that Zijing Gongzi can't do it." Since entering the cabin, although Zijing Gongzi was dissatisfied, he did not attack me with words like blind, and I knew that although Zijing was strong and arrogant, she had a soft and kind heart. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the martial arts practiced by Zijing must have some secret methods that deliberately strengthen the soul, and the teachings he receives on weekdays are also biased towards ruthlessness and righteousness, if Zijing Gongzi is really a ruthless person, why bother to practice such kung fu?"

If he heard such words a day ago, Yang Ning would probably scoff at it, but everything that happened last night had already made him comprehend, thinking of his cowardly behavior last night, it sounded like thunder in his ears at this moment, and he couldn't argue with it.

Wu Cheng raised the tea and drank it all, and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu has a saying, the big white is humiliating, the generous is invisible, the big instrument is late, the big sound is loud, and the elephant is invisible." That is to say, the whitest seems to be the most dirty, the most square seems to have no edges and corners, the largest utensils are the last to be finished, the largest music has no sound, and the largest objects have no image. This is exactly what happens in the world, so the love can be as thin as paper, and abiding by loyalty can be heartless and ruthless. Zijing, admit that there is love in your heart, not really weak, but hard mouth and soft heart are the most important, if you can't see through this layer of obstacles, you will be subject to this for the rest of your life, after you go back, think about it, don't mislead others and yourself, and hate for life. ”

Seeing that Yang Ning fell into deep thought, Wu Cheng smiled again: "In fact, no matter the fog around you, if the essence is as strong as jade, what are you afraid of, just like Zijing you, although you suffered some risks last night, but with your martial arts, isn't it still like a risk, that is, I had the intention to harm last night, can I really hurt you?" But if you can't figure out these things now, don't think about it, if you don't experience the red dust, how can you see through love and hatred, don't say that you are a child who is not deeply involved in the world, that is, Wu, who is almost at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, isn't he also conscientious and wandering in the prosperity of the world?"

Speaking of this, he seemed to notice Yang Ning's thoughtfulness, Wu Cheng suddenly smiled and said: "That's it, it's not beneficial to talk too much, Zijing, you have to remember to think twice about everything in the future, if you don't understand, just stick to your heart, don't believe other people's words casually." Even if there is no malice, it may not be impossible to deceive you, just like I just admitted to you, although you can't see, you can move freely, but can it really be like this? Look here. ”

Yang Ning looked at it suspiciously, only to see Wu Cheng pointing to his sideburns and hair, and when he looked closely, he was a little scorched, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Wu Cheng laughed and said: "Actually, there is still a big difference between whether you can see things or not, when I came back last night, I thought of how to face you, I couldn't help tossing and turning, but I accidentally knocked over the candlestick, although my skin was not injured, but my head was burned a little, and there was also the silver bell soul deterrent array outside, if it weren't for the pity in your heart, and I had no malicious intent, could I really convince you? If I have that ability, I won't just be a Fengtai Pavilion master, I'm afraid that there is also my name Wu Cheng among the four great grandmasters." ”

Hearing this, although Yang Ning was not suddenly enlightened, but he also had some enlightenment in his heart, and somehow he had respect for the blind man in front of him at the same time, he also had a trace of jealousy, this person is Luo Chengyu's master, there is such a famous teacher, no wonder Luo Chengyu is talented and unskilled, even if he has learned a mastery, but he is not as good as Luo Chengyu has such a gentleman.

Thinking of this, he only felt stunned, Yang Ning got up and knelt down and saluted: "Zijing thank you for your teachings, if you have an inch in the future, you should also remember today's feelings, although I want to hear Mr. 's teachings, but Qingping must have been waiting very quickly, so I will leave." ”

Wu Cheng smiled slightly and said: "This is natural, I already asked someone to inform Miss Qingping yesterday, presumably she is waiting for you to pick her up at Wanbaozhai at the moment, the beauty is very affectionate, you can't let it down easily, Zijing has to make persistent efforts." By the way, there is one more thing, this time you will come to Jinling to do something, although this pure Jun sword has long been lost, but as far as Wu knows, the origin of this sword is very interesting, if there is any stolen goods to sell, as long as both parties can benefit, Wu will not refuse to help. ”

Hearing this, Yang Ning only felt a fever on his face, and admired Wu Cheng more and more in his heart, the purpose of coming to Jinling this time was guessed by Wu Cheng, this kind of mind is unmatched, no wonder he can be in charge of Fengtai Pavilion for many years, fortunately, this person has no malicious intentions, otherwise it will be bad with just a few rumors, so he said vaguely: "This is all arranged by Qingping, if you have something to borrow, you will definitely not forget Mr." Wu Cheng smiled slightly when he heard this, Yang Ning was embarrassed, but he didn't notice the hidden thoughts under Wu Cheng's smile, and even those dim eyes seemed to reveal a heavy sadness.
