Chapter 7: Bonding with the Sword (2)
After a while, the little girl stepped into the air, stabbed out with a sword, and stabbed straight at Mo Lingfan, Mo Lingfan saw the sword flying towards him, and his eyes widened, he saw that the girl was smiling at him, and the smile was so sweet that he forgot to dodge, and the surrounding audience all exclaimed, shouting and dodging away, only the old artist and the old village chief smiled.
The old village chief said, "Sure enough, it is a seedling cultivated by the old drama bones, good swordsmanship" After listening to the old artist, he laughed, but he didn't answer, just at the moment when the girl's sword was about to stab, as if the air was condensed, the sword stopped three feet in front of Lingfan, and then the girl turned to the right, drew a beautiful sword circle, and returned to the field.
The audience applauded, and some people said: "This sister-in-law is the swordsmanship of the Jianyuanmen, so gorgeous" Someone replied to the person: "How can it be, the swordsmanship of the Jianyuanmen can only be learned by people in the sect, and how can it be passed on to outsiders." β
Saying that, the little girl hugged her fists and bowed to the audience before she got off the stage, and then someone came on stage to perform one after another, but Mo Lingfan was no longer in the mood to watch it anymore, he was now full of the little girl who had just danced the sword, and when he saw Mo Lingfan out of his mind, the two old men smiled slightly.
At this time, Lingfan began to recall that he had seen someone dancing with a sword in a dream, and Lingfan wanted to learn a sword because of this, always dreaming that there was a person sitting cross-legged on the ground, and a person dancing a sword in front, which was very similar to the little girl dancing, but he never saw the person's face, and now when he saw it again, there was an impulse, so he didn't look any further, but secretly ran to the backstage.
He wanted to know what kind of sword the man was dancing in his dream, where he could find it, and even he wanted to learn the sword, which was an impulse and kindness from the soul.
There are not many people backstage, and many people who have finished the performance have gone to the props to sort out the props, and Mo Lingfan happened to see the little girl sitting on a stool reading a book, Mo Lingfan ran straight over and asked the little girl, "What are you looking at?"
The little girl saw that it was the little boy who her grandfather said before and replied, "It's you, I'm reading the sword book." As she spoke, the little girl got down from the stool, about the same height as Mo Lingfan, and there was some compatibility when standing together.
The girl asked again: "By the way, I don't know your name yet? My name is Tang Xiaolan, what about you?" said and touched Mo Lingfan's chest again, children are not so taboo, Mo Lingfan saw the little girl touch his chest, so he was curious, "What are you doing?"
Tang Xiaolan replied, "I'll see if you were injured just now." β
Mo Lingfan patted his chest and said, "You didn't really stab me, how could I be hurt." β
Tang Xiaolan said with a smile, "Who said that you have to be stabbed to get hurt, grandpa said, if I practice sword qi, I can also hurt people without being hit by a sword." β
Mo Lingfan then wondered again: "What is the sword qi?"
Tang Xiaolan waved her hand: "You don't understand, I'm going to find grandpa" As she spoke, the girl walked out, and after walking a few steps, the girl turned her head and asked, "By the way, you haven't said what your name is?"
Mo Lingfan replied: "Mo Lingfan"
When Tang Xiaolan heard this, she called him, "Let's go, let's go find grandpa." β
Mo Lingfan was still silent on the new concept of sword qi, and only when he heard the call did he say "um" and went out with him.
The performance on the stage has ended, the old artist is saying polite words on the stage, roughly thank you for everyone's support and something like that, Mo Lingfan didn't listen carefully, but waited below with Grandpa Lian, he wanted to learn the sword, he wanted the old artist to teach him to dance the sword, Tang Xiaolan also stood with them.
The old artist bowed and said, "Thank you for your strong support, this is the end of today's performance." β
Everyone dispersed, and on the way they talked about their favorite performance, boasting about the wonderful performance in their hearts. At this time, the opera troupe had already begun to dismantle the stage, and the old village chief invited the old artist to sit at his home, and the four of them walked to the old village chief's house together.
On the way, the old village chief and the old artist said, "Xiaolan learned the swordsmanship of the Sword Edge Gate, is this appropriate?"
"It's okay, Xiaolan is going to go to the Sword Edge Gate to practice in the future, I've already said okay, it's okay"
"You can also let Lingfan go, you can teach him some now, and keep him busy. β
The old village chief had an idea in his heart, and Hao Ran said that he wanted Mo Lingfan to live an ordinary life, but now teaching Lingfan to learn the sword may be the best way to help him get out of the shadows.
At the end of the road, Lingfan asked Tang Xiaolan what the sword qi was, and Tang Xiaolan also replied seriously, "The sword qi is qi, which comes from the sword body, turns the wind into a blade, and is not full of wind, the qi fills the sword intent, and rises with the wind, which is called sword qi."
"But you, you can't learn sword qi first, you have to be like me, you can dance the sword first" After speaking, he smiled at Ling Fan. After hearing this, Ling Fan shouted to the old artist: "Grandpa Tang, can you teach me to learn swords?"
"Oh, Xiao Lingfan, do you want to learn swords? You can let your grandfather teach you this. The old artist replied.
After hearing this, Mo Lingfan asked the old village chief, "Can you teach me, even grandpa?" As he spoke, he looked at the old village chief, who turned around and saw a pair of eyes looking straight at him, full of longing and longing.
When the person was old, he couldn't stand the child's gaze, so he nodded, "Okay, grandpa will teach you", and after speaking, Lingfan shouted happily, "Lingfan is going to learn the sword, Lingfan is going to learn the sword" while shouting, and jumped at the same time, ran to the village chief's house, and came back after a while, pulling Tang Xiaolan to jump and run.
Tang Xiaolan was infected by his happiness, so she didn't resist, and let him pull him away, the old village chief hadn't seen Mo Lingfan so happy for a long time, and he also showed a kind smile on his face, and the old artist teased on the side, "This kid has a virtue with you, and he kidnapped my granddaughter away like this." The old village chief also smiled.
After arriving at home, the two old men had endless words, and they didn't get up after sitting at the table together, and at first they asked Lingfan to order some tea, but then they didn't drink it at all, for fear of interrupting the old man to tell the rest of the story.
Of course, the two children didn't have such good patience, and they couldn't sit still when they listened, so Mo Lingfan took Tang Xiaolan out.
When he arrived in the courtyard, Mo Lingfan asked, "Xiaolan, where did you get your wooden sword?"
Tang Xiaolan smiled when she heard this: "Why are you in a hurry, even grandpa will teach you, my little wooden sword was made for me by my grandfather."
As he spoke, he took out a small wooden sword from his hand, and Ling Fan was stunned.
"How did you come up with this" Mo Lingfan was born in Lingguo Village since he was a child, and the village rarely knew about the things in the city, and at this time, Mo Lingfan was like a countryman, looking at Tang Xiaolan.
The more this happened, the more Tang Xiaolan felt that Mo Lingfan's appearance was silly and cute, so she touched his little face and said, "This is called magic, if you call me sister, I will tell you."
Invisibly take advantage, girls are no worse than boys, "sister" Lingfan shouted without thinking, no wonder the child's heart is stupid and naΓ―ve, Tang Xiaolan, who was called by this sister, was happy in her heart, so she took off a piece on her waist, which was a small jade plaque, on which a phoenix dance was painted for nine days, exuding a faint fragrance of jasmine, Mo Lingfan held it in his hand, and felt warm, and a warm feeling flowed all over the body.
"This was given to me by my grandfather, and it can store a lot of things, and my grandfather said that there are many other uses, so I asked me to find it myself. He didn't know, "Mo Lingfan has never seen so many treasures, and he feels more and more that Xiaolan is beautiful and moving, and there are so many things that he doesn't know."
Tang Xiaolan said again: "Where is there a peach forest here, I can try to make a wooden sword for you."
This made Mo Lingfan very happy, "Really?" As he spoke, he pulled Tang Xiaolan to the backyard of the village chief's house, the backyard of the village chief's house was very large, a bamboo forest, looking down as if there was no boundary, and there was a large open space, the wind blew, and the bamboo forest rattled.
Mo Lingfan couldn't see the origin of this clearing, but Tang Xiaolan could see it at a glance, this was an open space that was chopped by someone with sword qi, looking at the sword marks on the bamboo, it was smooth and smooth, and he was a master at a glance.
Tang Xiaolan told Lingfan about her discovery, Mo Lingfan had often come to the old village chief's bamboo forest to play, but he didn't know that the old village chief could use a sword to cut out such a clearing.
Tang Xiaolan said to Mo Lingfan: "Bamboo can't be used as a small wooden sword, are there other trees here?" "Yes, follow me" said and took Tang Xiaolan to the side of the forest.
After a while, they saw a small tree growing in front of them, "This is it, you see." β
Tang Xiaolan fixed her eyes, because she followed Tang Lao Artist everywhere, went to many places, and saw much more than Ling Fan, and said at a glance: "This is a locust tree, one can be used to make a wooden sword"
As he spoke, he took out a small dagger from the spirit jade, Lingfan looked at the small dagger, the dagger is not long, but it is very delicate, the blue-green handle, the silver knife edge, shiny, very good-looking, not only good-looking, but also easy to use, all of a sudden the locust tree was cut open, and she cut it off. As he spoke, he put away his knife.
Mo Lingfan dragged the locust tree all the way back to the front yard with Tang Xiaolan, Tang Xiaolan began to prune it on the ground, Mo Lingfan stared at his small wooden sword on the side, taking shape little by little, and the laughter of the two old men came from time to time in the house.
Tang Xiaolan raised her head to look at Lingfan when she was tired, Lingfan gave her a big smile, and Lingfan wiped her sweat from time to time and brought water to Tang Xiaolan to drink. The sun was slowly setting.
