The Dangyang Case Chapter 6 The Mysterious Stranger
As soon as the sky was shining, Ji Feiyun got up, no matter how late he slept it, he would get up when the sky was just shining, this is the habit he developed when he came to the Luofeng Tavern, and it is also his requirement for himself, Yueniang They can take him in as a stranger, he will be diligent and do more work, maybe this is what his father taught him since he was a child, the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, since he is not able to repay the favor now, then do more work, as a reward for his food and accommodation in the Luofeng Tavern.
What he has to do when he gets up every day, first fill the water tank with water, fortunately there is a well in the backyard of the Luofeng Tavern, not far away, and then there is a big pot of hot water less, clean up the kitchen, and then go to the front tavern, clean up, wipe the seats, and when all this is done, the sky will be bright, Uncle Guan gets up first, then Xiaoshanzi, and then Yueniang comes downstairs.
At the beginning, Uncle Guan and Yueniang both told him not to get up so early, he smiled and agreed, and then the next day it was still the same, and so on twice, it was up to him, but Uncle Guan took the education Xiaoshanzi, saying that he only knew how to sleep lazy, and asked him to learn from Ji Feiyun as well, Xiaoshanzi stuck out his tongue at Ji Feiyun, made a grimace, and promised on his lips, and then slept until dawn the next day.
Early this morning, Ji Feiyun finished cleaning the tavern, then opened the door, and then returned to the counter to clean up, at this time, a man walked into the store, only to see him take off the hat on his head, put it on the table, and then called the shopkeeper, Ji Feiyun stood up and looked up, and saw that it was a man dressed in ordinary clothes, the only thing that attracted attention was the other sword on his waist, which was a foot shorter than the ordinary sword.
"Guest officer, you are early, our store has not opened yet, who are you?" Ji Feiyun hurriedly walked out of the counter and said to the man with a smile.
The man looked at Ji Feiyun for a moment, then sat down on the table and stool closest to him, and said, "Little Second Brother, I heard that the wine in your Luofeng Tavern is good, can you give me a pot?"
"Guest officer, this ...... The shopkeeper hasn't gotten up yet, our store hasn't opened yet, and you're here too early. Ji Feiyun said with a smile.
The man was not angry, but turned his head to look around the tavern, then took the hat on the table and put it on his head, stood up, and said, "That's a pity, it's a pity!"
Ji Feiyun looked at the man's back, smiled, and thought to himself, "What a strange person, he came to drink early in the morning." He shook his head as he went back to the counter to clean up.
"Feiyun, it's all cleaned up!" At this time, Uncle Guan got up.
"Well, Uncle Guan, you're up, I'll give you a wash water. Ji Feiyun watched Uncle Guan come out, said with a smile, and then went to the kitchen to fetch water.
"Hey, it's good that this little mountain is half as diligent as you," Uncle Guan looked at Ji Feiyun who entered the kitchen, shook his head and said.
Xiaoshanzi and Yueniang got up one after another, Ji Feiyun squatted in front of the stove to make a fire, and Uncle Guan was rolling out noodles and steaming steamed buns, he looked at Ji Feiyun who was burning in front of the stove, and saw that his head was about to reach out to the stove, with a smile on his face, and said: "Feiyun, do you do this work when you are at home?"
"When I was at home, my dad didn't let me do much work, so I didn't know how to do a lot of work. Ji Feiyun said under the stove.
"No wonder, rare!" said Uncle Guan.
At this time, Yueniang walked in, and when she saw Ji Feiyun, whose head was about to reach out to the stove, she couldn't help but smile, and said, "Feiyun, you come out with me." ”
Ji Feiyun heard Yueniang call him, so he answered from under the stove: "Well, I'll come." Then he blew hard with a chimney, and the fire in the stove gradually became stronger, and he added a few more handfuls of firewood to the stove, and then stood up and looked at Uncle Guan, who signaled, and he walked out.
Yueniang was not in the tavern, she looked outside, and she didn't see Yueniang, so she went to the inner courtyard again, only to see Yueniang untying the reins of the horse in the stable, and when she saw Ji Feiyun coming, she said, "Come here, lead the horse." ”
"Sister Yue, are we going somewhere?" Ji Feiyun asked as he walked over.
"You ride this horse. Yueniang signaled, and then led another horse out of the side door, Ji Feiyun hurriedly untied the reins of the other horse and led Yueniang to follow.
Out of the side door, came to the alley outside, Yueniang led the horse and waited outside, saw Ji Feiyun come out, and asked him, "Do you know how to ride a horse?"
"Didn't ride. Ji Feiyun smiled embarrassedly.
Yueniang smiled, then turned over and got on the horse, lifted the reins of the horse, sat down steadily, and said with a smile: "Then are you afraid of riding?"
Ji Feiyun looked at the horse in front of him, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, seeing Yueniang asked him with a smile, looking at Yueniang's smile, he was sweet in his heart, and gave birth to a courage, and said in his mouth: "Don't be afraid!" Then he also learned to step on the stirrup and climb hard, and with a force on his waist, he also turned over on the horse's back, and the horse that sat down walked back and forth a few steps, shaking Ji Feiyun on his back.
Yueniang laughed, Ji Feiyun's face was crimson, and he lifted the reins in his hand hard, finally stabilized the horse, and then looked up at Yueniang and smirked.
"Let's go!" Yueniang finished speaking, lifted the reins, and then rode the horse towards the street outside, Ji Feiyun patted the horse's back lightly, and followed Yueniang slowly.
Yueniang rode a horse towards the city gate, Ji Feiyun asked Yueniang where she was going, Yueniang turned around and smiled at Ji Feiyun, saying that he would follow. The two of them rode through the rarely crowded street, out of the city gate, Yueniang clamped the horse's belly hard, flicked the reins with her hand, and the horse neighed and began to trot forward, gradually increasing its speed. Ji Feiyun in the back also learned from Yueniang to flick the reins with her hand, urging the horse that sat down to follow
Go, at first he was still a little unsteady, but gradually began to get used to it, the young man's temperament, he thought it was fun to ride a horse, as he whipped the horse's buttocks, and drank in his mouth, the horse also ran quickly.
The two of them gradually got farther and farther away from the Falling Wind City, galloping towards the Gobi Desert, and a dust yellow dragon rolled up behind them, this was the first time Ji Feiyun rode a horse, and it was still on the Gobi Desert, and there was a sense of pride in his heart, and he was both happy and excited. After a little tea, I came to a small lake, surrounded by an oasis.
Yueniang dismounted, threw the reins of the horse on the horse's back, then looked at the small lake and took a deep breath. Ji Feiyun, who followed behind, also got off the horse, put the horse aside, walked to Yueniang's side, looked at the small lake in front of him and the surrounding oasis, and said happily: "It turns out that there is such a beautiful small lake here." ”
Yueniang glanced back at Ji Feiyun and said with a smile, "Is it beautiful?"
"Beautiful, as beautiful as Yueniang. Ji Feiyun said unconsciously.
Yueniang sneered, glanced at Ji Feiyun, and said with a smile: "Little brat, you actually dare to joke that Sister Yue is here." ”
Ji Feiyun's face turned red, and he didn't dare to look at Yueniang, only to hear Yueniang say again: "Do you know why I brought you here?"
"Oh, I don't know. Ji Feiyun looked up at Yueniang and said.
Yueniang glanced at Ji Feiyun deeply, then turned her head to look at Xiaohu, and said, "That night you said that you wanted me to teach you spells, I thought about it and promised you." ”
"Really! That's great. Ji Feiyun said happily.
"You can come here, maybe this is also a kind of fate given by God, the world is becoming more and more chaotic, in this panicked side, some skills to defend yourself, maybe you can protect yourself. Yueniang said leisurely.
Immediately Yueniang turned to look at Ji Feiyun, her eyes were bright, Ji Feiyun was stunned, Yueniang looked at it for a while, and then asked, "Feiyun, you really don't remember how you got here?"
Ji Feiyun's eyes darkened, and he sighed and said, "I don't know how I got here, I just remember that I was pushed off the cliff by my father that day, and then I came here." ”
"Well, maybe we'll figure it out later, don't overthink it. Yueniang comforted.
"Hmm. Ji Feiyun nodded.
Yueniang squatted down and picked up a small stone on the ground, then turned around and shook it gently, the small stone drew an arc in the air, and then fell into the lake, the calm lake suddenly rippled, slowly rippling, like a stone shattered a mirror, this picture is intoxicating.
"I can't teach you the exercises of this sect, that will hurt you. Yueniang sighed softly after speaking, and then said: "Five years ago, I got a volume of secret books in a secret realm, which recorded a basic Taoist exercise, and this is it. Saying that, Yueniang suddenly had a small scroll in her hand, and Ji Feiyun didn't even see where it came from.
"Since I got this scroll, I haven't cultivated it, because it has a big conflict with my sect's philosophy, so I'll give it to you now. Yueniang handed the scroll in her hand to Ji Feiyun.
"I don't know much about the concept of Taoism, it's up to you to understand it yourself, but I can give you some guidance. Yueniang said again.
Ji Feiyun took the scroll in Yue Niang's hand, but he didn't open it, and asked, "Sister Yue, what is the exercise you just said?
"Gongfa is the method of cultivation, because the concept pursued by each sect is different, so the method of cultivation is different, and even conflicting, the specific reason is to talk about the dispute between the hundred schools of thought thousands of years ago, which is too complicated, I will tell you slowly in the future. Yueniang said.
"Hmm. Ji Feiyun nodded, and then he slowly opened the scroll in his hand, only to see that there were three ancient seal characters written at the beginning of the scroll, which his father had taught him before, and he recognized that these three words were written as 'Qi Cultivation Technique'.
"Now you don't have to be busy looking at it, you can take it back and study it slowly. Yueniang saw that Ji Feiyun was slowly looking at the scroll after opening it, and said.
Ji Feiyun looked up at Yueniang and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back and see again." Then he put away the little scroll as if he had found a treasure.
"Feiyun, what kind of weapons do you like?" Yue Niang asked suddenly.
"I love swords. Ji Feiyun blurted out.
"Sword, tell me why you like swords?" Yue Niang asked with a smile as she looked at Ji Feiyun.
When Ji Feiyun saw Yueniang asking about this, he was immediately interested, and said with a smile: " My father used to tell me a story, saying that in ancient times there was a king who liked swords, so he raised a lot of swordsmen around him, practicing swords and killing every day, and even put aside state affairs, and then the ministers had no choice, so they teamed up with the prince to find a master who knew swords outside called Zhuangzi to tell the king about the sword, Zhuangzi told the king three kinds of swords, the sword of the Son of Heaven, the sword of the princes, the sword of the Shuren, and said that the sword in the hands of ordinary swordsmen is called the sword of the Shuren, and it is just a face-to-face fight, saying that since the king likes the sword, then he must like the sword of the princes, and even the sword of the Son of Heaven. When I heard this story about my father, I was very curious, what is the sword of the Son of Heaven, what is the sword of the princes, is it so powerful? Later, I became interested in the sword. ”
"Heavenly Son Sword, hehe......" A yin and yang voice suddenly came.
Yueniang pulled Ji Feiyun over, stood in front of him, staring at the person ten meters away, Ji Feiyun didn't react, his heart was startled, and then he also looked at Yueniang's eyes, and saw a person wearing a hat, wearing gray cloth clothes, and a short sword pinned to his waist, this person was the person who came to the store to buy wine this morning, Ji Feiyun was shocked, I don't know when, that person appeared there, like a ghost.
