Chapter 40 (26)

On this day, Li Yijie stood in front of everyone and said, "Everyone, I have worked hard for several days. I think that after less than three months of hard training, everyone's hard work must be more advanced. Although the sect kung fu is very miscellaneous, what makes me happy is that your internal skills are all made of bit by bit of hard work, and no one is lazy and tricky. In addition, it may be different from the previous ones. Practicing martial arts is not just a matter of working hard, and it is also very important to know how to combine work and rest. In my opinion, we should not practice today, let's go to the rivers and lakes, eat and have fun, and walk around the streets and alleys of the capital, and have fun as much as you want. It's just that...... Remember what we just said, 'everything is in moderation', and don't be too tired, so as not to affect tomorrow's decisive battle. ”

Some people are elated by this decision, and they just feel that they have worked hard for so long, and if they can relax for a while, they can be considered worthy of themselves. Some people also say that tomorrow is the time for a decisive battle, and today is a very important time, so it is all the more necessary to redouble the practice. As the saying goes, if you are sharpening your guns in battle, you will not be happy or light, so how can you relax early? I am afraid that this relaxation will even loosen the spirit of the soldiers and soldiers.

One of the disciples sighed and said, "This is a bad word! If you don't play today, when will you stay?" I'm afraid that this is also the last time in our lives, and we must have fun to the fullest, and we won't be too sorry if we die later." ”

This crow's beak immediately attracted a lot of scolding, and soon suppressed the wave of opposition. It's just that everyone has a pimple in their hearts and has similar concerns, but they are desperately deceiving themselves, and giving him this statement, as if this ominous thing has come true. But this claim is unfounded, and if there is a misfortune, it does not mean that he will be completely avoided by keeping his mouth shut.

Yaxing, who played on this day, cast a shadow on this inauspicious prophecy. The sky is also in the same mood as everyone else, for months, it is always dark clouds, and even the sun has not shown its face, which makes everyone even more anxious.

On the street, Li Yijie said: "It's hard for us to come out and relax, I think, a group of people are crowded together, and no one can have a good time, so it's better to combine them and go shopping in twos and threes." It's okay to be alone, but ...... There is always one more person to go with, and if there is any emergency, it is good to have a response. ”

Xuan Shuang smiled and said, "I know, Master Li is thin-skinned, I'll say it for him." Let's all get acquainted with each other, so we all dispersed quickly, don't disturb the people Li Mengzhu and his wife's date. ”

Everyone laughed loudly, and barely diluted the initial unhappiness a little. But for a young and old child like Xuan Shuang, who is quite gloomy, coupled with the prestige of the former deputy sect leader of the Demon Sect, no one can call him "a small man and a big ghost".

Yuan Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I heard that Brother Ling has had another encounter recently, and he has learned a new set of skills. I'll ask you for a few tricks, okay?" Xuan Shuang glanced at him and said, "Ordinary people are not worthy of being my opponents, as for you, even if you are barely qualified." ”

Tang Yuan walked to Cheng Jiaxuan's side and said in a low voice, "I'll walk with you." It's a day to have fun, so it's best not to make anything unpleasant. He took her hand.

Cheng Jiaxuan stared at him in a daze, and his heart turned over, secretly thinking that he had already known that he had poisoned the soup? It's just that he knows that he has bad intentions, why did he dare to drink that bowl of soup? Why didn't he demolish himself? Does she still have enough room to fight?

In response to Xuanshuang's words, half of the people were anxious, and the other half was to fulfill the amusement of a pair of lovers, and soon dispersed in twos and threes. In the end, only Li Yijie and Nangong Xue were left.

Li Yijie stretched out his hand in front of Nangong Xue and said, "Xue'er, from childhood to adulthood, we are all tired of practice and tasks. I've known each other for nearly 20 years, and I've never accompanied you to the market, I don't know if you give me this opportunity this time? ”

A faint flush appeared on Nangong Xue's face, and he said with a smile: "The dignified martial arts alliance leader, he still has to sing Hua Dan in his voice, and he is not afraid of seeing jokes for others." After all, he still put his hand in his palm, blushed and said, "Senior brother, you know me." As long as I can be with you, I don't ask you to buy me many valuable jewelry, as long as I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you, take a quiet walk, and look at the surrounding scenery. Even if the two of them don't talk to each other, it's a beautiful situation. ”

Li Yijie's heart flashed with sourness, and he suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and said, "Yes, last time I was impulsive, and I broke your cherished bracelet." Today, I'm going to pick an authentic jade bracelet for you. ”

The two of them walked around the big and small vendors, and Nangong Xue showed a lot of admiration, but if Li Yijie had the intention of buying it, he would immediately decline politely, and he didn't know how many enthusiastic stall owners were angry along the way.

Li Yijie knew that she didn't want to spend too much money, although she felt this deep affection in her heart, she still explained to her seriously: "Money is something outside the body, I am not a miser, looking at money from time to time, touching it, it can't bring me happiness." But if I can exchange money for the things that my favorite woman likes the most, and make her smile, it is my greatest happiness. ”

Nangong Xue couldn't help him, so he had to let him buy himself a few bracelets and a hairpin. Li Yijie looked at her with a smile and inserted the hairpin into her bun. Nangong Xue's heart trembled, and a wave of ominousness swept over her. This happiness is so unreal, as if it is fleeting, and what is followed is a dark cloud that envelops the two of them. I'm afraid that a battle with the Seven Evil Saints will change their fate.

Within that day, Li Yijie took Nangong Xue to wander around the streets and alleys of the capital, ate a stomach full of snacks, and bought a bunch of cheap exquisite objects at the stalls, which really realized the original "eat and have fun". Almost all the corners of the city, including many inaccessible places, have sprinkled the laughter of the two people, and also recorded the love between the two.

This day is so novel, it is the first time that they have released themselves without any worries after unloading their heavy burdens, and for the first time they feel that there can be this way of living in life, for a long time, they have been overwhelmed by tasks and heavy morality, this is the only time, completely at their own disposal.

It's just that this tranquility is fragile, and both of them are extremely cautious to avoid touching on topics such as decisive battles, but in their spare time, they can't help but think about it. Every time I saw the other party's eyebrows frowning, I knew why he was hurting, but I still had to pretend to be useless, and I pulled the topic away in a mixed manner, hoping to redeem the other party's relieved smile.

Girls are always more sentimental, when the sun sinks in the west, Nangong Snow touches the scene and is sad, and her heart is getting heavier and heavier. No matter how hard Li Yijie tries his best to make her happy, even if he has a coping smile, he can no longer show it at will.

Li Yijie doesn't know what the fate of tomorrow will be, and he just wants this only day to end successfully. Trying to tell jokes doesn't work. Nangong Xue suddenly said: "Senior brother, my eyelids always jump hard, it seems that I am about to ......" Li Yijie covered her mouth, the two looked at each other in silence, sighed, and said: "Xue'er, don't say it, okay? Let us all have a little hope, once the dream breaks, the rest is just despair." ”

Nangong Xue's tears lingered in her eyes, but she couldn't bear it. said softly: "I wish I could give you hope, but now, even I can no longer strengthen my beliefs, how can I ......" The next thing that came to his mouth was those few taboo words that he tried to avoid.

There was an invisible haze flowing in the air, and suddenly a shout came from afar in the wind, shouting: "Ziwei Doushu, good fortune and evil, Bo Gu Tong Jin, there is a request; There are often eight characters that are the same, and the rich and poor are different, all because of the unknown moment. ”

An old man dressed in a shabby moon-white robe, wearing a cloth hat, a long beard, and holding a cloth banner in his hand, looked quite dusty, walking back and forth on the street. There were a lot of people gathered around, most of them out of curiosity, to see the excitement, but no one really stepped forward to ask for a hexagram.

Nangong Xue suddenly saw a piece of driftwood like a person falling into the water, pulled Li Yijie's sleeve, and said, "Senior brother, let's go and ask too, okay?"

Li Yijie couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "What's wrong with you? Aren't you usually disgusted with these ghosts and gods? This kind of person usually cheats people out of money, if he really has the ability, why can't he predict that he will be rich and wealthy first?" Nangong Xue's face turned pale and said, "Right now, it's a dead horse as a live horse doctor." It is better to break the fortune and avoid disasters, and listening to him say a few good words can also make my heart more calm. ”

Li Yijie said helplessly: "Xue'er, what are you doing so nervously? I am the one who should be robbed, and even I can't sit still......" Seeing Nangong Xue looking at him with tears in her eyes, her heart suddenly softened. Thinking that at the moment of great trouble, he could not give her any comfort, he was already incompetent, and if he could use this to reassure her, it would be considered to kill two birds with one stone, and he would no longer object.

As soon as Nangong Xue agreed, she immediately took his hand, ran to the fortune teller, saluted respectfully, and said, "Sir, please give it to me...... Count a hexagram for my husband and wife, okay?" he said, shoving a silver ingot into his hand.

The Xiangshi took the silver taels, didn't look at them, and casually put them on the offering table beside him, and said with a smile: "This matter of asking God to ask for hexagrams is important in sincerity, as the saying goes, sincerity is spiritual, as for money, it is all outside the body." Li Yijie snorted coldly, the boss in his heart was disdainful, and said secretly: "It sounds good, if money is not important, what do you rely on to make a living and eat?"

Nangong Xue lowered her head and said, "Old man, I beg you." The Xiangshi smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." I don't know what the girl wants to ask?" Nangong Xue said: "Future, fate." Test me and him. As he spoke, his eyes were still a little gloomy, he glanced at Li Yijie, and then pulled his sleeve to let him get closer to him.

The Xiangshi said: "Destiny is determined by heaven, although mortals can predict it, but it is difficult to reverse. Ask the girl to draw a lot. ”

Nangong Xue looked at the large handful of bamboo sticks in the tube, gently picked up the bamboo tube, closed her eyes, and prayed silently. According to the instructions of the fortune teller, he shook the bamboo tube with both hands, and only heard a crackling sound in his ears, and suddenly there was a "pop" sound, and a bamboo stick fell out first. When I opened my eyes and looked at the sticks that were close to the table, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to reach out to pick them up. It seems that if this is the case, the good and the bad will become a certainty, and it will be difficult to change it.

How did the Xiangshi know that she had all the complicated intentions, picked up the bamboo stick, didn't wait for Nangong Xue to stop him, and read aloud: "The way is clear, and the truth is not with him." The mud wall fell and turned into soil, even if God helped it, it was difficult to do it...... Girl, is this a sign?" Li Yijie snorted again and said secretly: "It's really true, isn't it the usual routine of cheating money?"
