Chapter 33: Reflecting the Snow and Washing the Ice (I)
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and it is another year in the blink of an eye.
Ji Chengqing is nine years old, and he has grown a lot taller and stronger. His martial arts realm is still in the realm of boiling sea and refining stones, but the ice rocks accumulated in the spiritual sea are increasing day by day, and they have exceeded a thousand zhang square, and it is possible that the qi machine will trigger an attack on a higher realm at any time.
With such a mellow qi, in fact, it has surpassed many powerhouses in the immeasurable realm of mountains and seas, and even some masters who have comprehended the realm of the sea and waves.
But Ji Chengche didn't plan to break through immediately, his goal was to double the area of ice rocks in Xiao Qiankun on the current basis.
Therefore, every time he noticed that the fluctuations of the spiritual sea were faintly showing signs of breakthrough, he immediately stopped cultivating and turned to cultivating the witch path while carefully adjusting and calming down.
In this way, his Heavenly Consciousness has improved again in a year, and he has been successfully promoted to the Xiahai Realm, and the scope of his spiritual knowledge has doubled, reaching a radius of ten zhang.
At the same time, he finally no longer had to follow Aunt Lin to learn to embroider the night fire totem, but began to learn to engrave seals.
It's just that the carving knife that Mr. Big gave him is really exaggerated, to put it simply, in Ji Chengche's opinion, it is not used to engrave seals at all, but should be used...... Kill the pigs.
So every evening, he had to hold such a "carving knife" almost as high as himself, and carefully learn seal carving on a small ice surface.
Mr. Big said that a seal for a half-day holiday, Tong Suo can be cashed out at any time. In addition, the content of the seal is also very simple, that is, the eight-character teacher training of "do something, do something".
For the holiday, in order to lie in the hot quilt for a while, Ji Chengche could only grit his teeth and keep swinging his knife to practice lettering......
Last winter, Lin Yin also broke through the realm of Hongmeng's initial division, but he was still practicing the sword drawing action unchanged. It's just that in addition to the slash, a simple pick has been added.
Ji Chengqing didn't have the slightest interest in his swordsmanship, and when he had free time, he preferred to take Tang Xueluo to ride on the Xuanshuang Ice Field.
Rao couldn't go too far, they still went to many places, feasting on the magnificence of the glacier, the splendor of the aurora, the holiness of the snow peaks, the tranquility of the forest valley, and even accompanied Xuanshuang to fight with a group of vicious white-headed birds in the clouds.
When she was happy, Tang Xueluo would dance a witch spirit dance or sing a Chu ballad. Ji Chengche will also tell the story of his past in the palace, as well as those interesting stories about playing tricks on Dr. Taixue.
More often than not, he still had to dictate the various masteries lost in the 100,000 witch classics to Tang Xueluo. If Ji Chengche is a recitation, then Tang Xueluo has truly never forgotten it, no matter how complicated and obscure that passage is, he never needs to repeat it a second time.
Ji Chengche had already begun to recite those extremely obscure classics to Tang Xueluo, many of which were unheard of even by Shang Fanyi.
Unknowingly, Tang Xueluo's dragon language was already very fluent, and Ji Chengche was also able to communicate with her in the Yu language, and occasionally did some small games of anagrams and couplets.
During this period, Ju Chongde once came back with the caravan to worship Mr. Xie Da on behalf of Ji Tianquan, and sent a rich gift to Lin Han Temple.
Due to the precious materials obtained from the Raoshan Ghost Cavalry Regiment and the rescue of hundreds of dragon clansmen, the strength of the Night Fire Tribe was unprecedentedly strong, and even had a light cavalry of nearly a thousand people.
In addition to the original two tribes of Blizzard and Hurricane, Lin Hansi has successively formed an alliance with the two tribes of Hengshan and White Bear near the Falling Glacier, so it has become more and more busy.
At dusk that day, Ji Chengche leaned on Xuanshuang's lying body, holding a giant pig-killing carving knife in his hand, and slowly carved on a two-inch square ice stone.
Tang Xueluo sat quietly on the side, holding the anti-heaven wheel in his hand, sometimes looking up at the sky and sometimes looking down in thought, as if he was deducing something.
On the other side, Lin Yin was practicing his sword, his hands were getting more and more stable, his movements were getting faster and faster, and his sword momentum was becoming more and more powerful.
"Smack!" There was a crisp sound, Ji Chengqing used a little too much force, and the seal in his hand that was about to be completed exploded.
Ji Cheng looked at the broken ice chips in his palm in a daze, sighed and said, "The half-day vacation is gone again." Snow falls, or you can help me calculate whether the next one will be successful. ”
Tang Xueluo put down the anti-heaven wheel and said with a smile: "Brother Chengqing, you will definitely do it." ”
"How many pieces is this?" Ji Cheng shook his head listlessly, clapped his hands to disperse the ice chips in his hand and said: "I don't understand why Mr. Big has to ask me to engrave the seal, and it is the eight words that are engraved after all-'If you don't do something, you must do something', 'If you don't do something, you must do something'......"
"I'm almost in the dark, and sometimes I envy that idiot. He glanced at Lin Yin in distress, "Just bury your head in and do what Mr. Big asks you to do, and never ask why." No way, simple-mindedness is a kind of happiness!"
Hearing Lin Yin suddenly sneeze in the distance, Tang Xueluo suddenly couldn't help but giggle.
"Brother Chengqing, I guess the reason why Brother Lin Yin didn't ask why was because he trusted Mr. Big. ”
Tang Xueluo smiled and said, "Actually, I think the words you carved at the beginning are interesting and unique, and now ...... It's getting more and more imposing. ”
Ji Chengche only thought that Tang Xueluo was deliberately comforting herself, and reluctantly smiled: "What momentum?"
"It's a kind of momentum that is flying in the sky. Tang Xueluo thought for a while and replied: "It seems that what you are holding in your hand is not a carving knife but a war knife, and what you are facing is not a small ice and snow seal, but thousands of troops." ”
"Well, it turns out that I carved it so well," Ji Cheng smiled thoughtfully, "Hearing you say that, I feel much more comfortable." ”
"Brother Chengqing, I'm telling the truth. ”
"Of course I know you're telling the truth. Ji Chengche smiled: "Who doesn't know that snow falling is best for me?"
Tang Xueluo's little face was as red as a tender cherry, and she said angrily: "It's not!"
Ji Chengche suddenly frowned, staring at the magnificent and uniquely shaped "carving knife" in his hand in a daze, and asked, "Snow falls, you just said that the words I carved are imposing?"
Tang Xueluo was obviously angry that Ji Chengqing was making fun of herself, pouting and saying nothing.
"Momentum, momentum......" Ji Cheng took out a seal engraved by Mr. Big himself from his arms, and said: "Xueluo, what do you think is the difference between the words on this seal and the one I engraved?"
Tang Xue snorted and turned her head to play with her pettiness.
Ji Chengche scratched his head and said, "Xueluo, your opinion is very important to me. ”
Tang Xueluo pursed her lips and chuckled, and slowly turned her eyes to look at the seal in Ji Chengqing's hand, which was also engraved with the words "something must be done, something must not be done".
She looked at her beard carefully and said, "It looks like a god, but it doesn't look like a god." Although it seems vivid, the words on Mr. Big's seal are elegant and ethereal, and yours is not like him. ”
Ji Chengche nodded, and Tang Xueluo continued: "It seems that you were deliberately imitating Mr. Big at first, but the result was that you were bound and had no spirituality. Later, it was released, and it gradually had its own taste and momentum. ”
After Tang Xueluo finished saying this, he found that Ji Cheng's clear eyes were looking at him without blinking, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Chengqing, what are you doing looking at me?"
Ji Chengche put away Mr. Big's seal, and said with a smile: "Xueluo, you are really only six years old, why do you speak like a sixty-year-old woman with a taste and momentum?"
Without waiting for Tang Xueluo to settle accounts with him angrily, Ji Chengche grabbed the big carving knife and said proudly: "Look at me using heaven, earth, mountains and rivers as the seal to engrave these eight big characters!"
He took a step forward and stabbed the blade into the snow, shook his wrist and waved the knife to walk the dragon and snake, and drew the first stroke of the word "one", which was the first stroke of the word "have".
Immediately afterwards, Ji Chengqing's blade continued to pull up, and his body moved with the knife in one go. I only heard the blade breaking through the ice and snow to make a slight sound of "snort", the ice chips burst into the snow and mist, and in the blink of an eye, the book was a big "have" word, and the silver hook iron painted dragon and phoenix danced, free and uninhibited and majestic.
"Good word!" Tang Xueluo couldn't help but stand up and applaud him.
"Don't be in a hurry to say okay, there's more to come!" Ji Chengche really flew in a hurry, scorching the sword light, breaking through the ice and snow, and wrote eight big characters on the snow in one go.
"There must be something to do, and something not to do......" Tang Xueluo looked at the book on the snow, and said with a smile: "Brother Chengqing, I see that you have carved so many seals, so this is the best." ”
Ji Chengche stopped his knife and stopped, looked at the snow book for a long time, and the seal carving of Mr. Big appeared in his mind again and again, and there was an inexplicable wisp of understanding in his heart, and he shouted in a low voice: "Then come again!"
He took three steps, the blade swam and flew away, and with the flick of his fingers he wrote again on the snow.
This time, Ji Chengche didn't look at it, and took three steps before waving a knife and writing a book, which was still those eight big characters.
With the blade wandering, he unconsciously forgot himself, and there were countless "must do something, not do something" in his mind, like bright and dark, like stars shining one after another.
He was so comfortable that he just wanted to scream, but he poured the surging excitement and reverie in his chest into the blade snow.
Later, Ji Chengche no longer thought about how to imitate Mr. Big's handwriting, and he didn't even look at the shape of the words he wrote, but under the guidance of a momentum, he tirelessly waved the carving knife and wrote on the snow over and over again.
After eight or sixty-four lines of the snow book, there was an ice rock in front of me.
Ji Chengche didn't want to lift the knife and get up into the wall for three minutes, the sound of "click" was endless, such as splashing ink such as scolding, such as helping drunk like a wild song, the blade flew up and down and suddenly seemed to be nine days and the moon suddenly seemed to be a mid-stream strike, until the last stroke fell wantonly on the ice rock, the blade sonorously sounded into the wall three feet, the golden sound buzzed around the beam, the brilliance shone like a dragon soaring, only then did he take off his hand and retreat fiercely, and a roar sounded through the sky.
Look at the ice rock again, eight big characters are wild and uninhibited, and there is a momentum of swallowing thousands of miles.
That stroke is like a knife, like a bullfight, a god and a rhyme, like a mountain and a sea, shaking the world.
The whistling stopped, Ji Chengche seemed to have exhausted all his strength, looked at the seal carving on the ice rock as if he was drunk, and muttered: "Master, I have only begun to truly understand what 'do something, do something' ...... from today."
"Good words, good knives-" Tang Xueluo's bright eyes were full of stars, and she couldn't help but shout, "Brother Chengqing, this chapter needs a nice name!"
"How about stepping on snow and breaking ice?" Ji Chengche thought for a while and asked.
"It's not good," Tang Xue frowned and said, "Is it okay to wash the ice chapter in the snow?"
"Okay, it's called Yingxue Ice Chapter!"
Before he could finish his words, the ice rock suddenly made a loud "boom", and it was actually torn apart by the sword qi through the body.
The eight characters on the rock wall then cracked, almost out of shape.
Tang Xueluo exclaimed lightly: "Oh, it's a pity." ”
Ji Chengche looked at the shattered ice rock, and smiled happily: "It's okay, I have engraved these eight words in my heart." ”
