Chapter 7 Chivalry Makes Marriage
The sky is in autumn, and the sun is not as harsh as before, and it has been two months since Ying'er and Master Mu Wuya parted. In the past two months, Ying'er practiced day after day according to the sword book given by her master, and never slackened. Although most of the sword books are pictures, but there are also some words, Ying'er knows half of it, and if she doesn't understand it, she will ask her grandfather, Ying'er is very smart, and after a little explanation from her grandfather, she has understood it thoroughly.
Ying'er gets up earlier than the sun every day, and in the morning she practices basic swordsmanship in her yard, and after breakfast, she goes to the cave in the back mountain to continue practicing, and does not come back until noon. After lunch, Ying'er asked her second uncle to teach him to read, and she would practice for a while before and after dinner.
The old man saw that Ying'er was so hard-working, so obsessed, and no one urged and taught, but Ying'er was very strict with herself, and when she felt that she was different from the little person in the picture, Ying'er would practice it dozens of times with just one posture. The old man was also full of emotion at this time, he thought that his grandson was destined to go to the rivers and lakes, so why should he stop him? The contradictions in his heart gradually dissipated.
The mountain is already covered with a red veil, the autumn air is thick, and the geese also fly south on the autumn wind. Between the mountainsides, there is a cave, I can only hear the sound of "heh" from time to time in the cave, take a closer look, sure enough, who else can Qi Ying'er be?
I saw Ying'er hanging the wooden sword, and with a "drink", the sword stabbed forward, and the sword wind disturbed the fallen leaves. Ying'er's eyes were sharp, her eyes were forward, and she was unwavering, as if this sword had really stabbed the enemy, and she didn't pull out the sword for a long time. If others look at it, they can't help but be stunned, only five years old, but they have such momentum, as sharp as a blade, but they don't know that Ying'er has practiced for more than a month just for this stab. Talented, but hard work, how can you not become a great tool?
Just as Ying'er was practicing swordsmanship diligently every day, Mu Wuya's master and nephew also arrived at the "Jian'an Pavilion" on Wusong Mountain.
Ming Kaiyue was wrapped in a white cloth on his chest, and the white cloth was a little blood-red, Mu Wuya helped him onto the bed in the pavilion, so that Ming Kaiyue, who was seriously injured, could rest.
Ming Kaiyue looked at Mu Wuya, who was sitting next to him, with a sad face, and said weakly: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, Kaiyue is fine." After that, he coughed up blood again, and Mu Wuya hurriedly wiped the blood for him, "You have a good rest, don't be angry and talk." Only then did Ming Kaiyue close his eyes and rest.
It all started half a month ago, when the two of them were drinking tea in a tea shop next to the avenue.
"I don't know how Ying'er is now. Ming Kaiyue said.
"My fate with him is not finished, and this child will come to me in seven years' time. Mu Wuya said with a smile.
"However, uncle, practicing swordsmanship needs to be cultivated from the inside, and only after the foundation of internal strength is solid and mellow can you practice all kinds of swordsmanship, if you don't do this, I'm afraid that although you will learn swordsmanship in the future, it will be difficult to reach the sky if you want to go to the next level. Ming Kaiyue said that he was puzzled.
Mu Wuya's expression was indifferent, and he said: "Although Ying'er has strong legs and feet, this is all related to children running and playing, but Ying'er's upper limbs are weaker, and they are also a little uncoordinated. ”
Ming Kaiyue nodded, thoughtful.
"Still confused?" Mu Wuya asked.
"Yes, the disciple still has something to understand. Ming Kaiyue asked again, "You made a seven-year appointment for Ying'er, if Ying'er only practiced according to that sword book in these seven years, I am afraid that Ying'er would miss a good opportunity to cultivate the inner strength and mental method." ”
Mu Wuya smiled, stroked his beard and said, "That's why the old man said that it will be up to Ying'er to create in seven years." ”
During the conversation between the two, there was a sudden sound of "help", and when I listened carefully, it was a woman calling for help.
"Come and take a look. Mu Wuya said, and the two went to see what was going on.
The woman's voice calling for help came from the bamboo forest not far away, and the two hurried their steps, and it didn't take long to come to this bamboo forest. I saw that in the bamboo forest, there was a bearded man, who pressed a weak woman, trying to use "strong" and "violent", but the woman was now struggling, crying and crying, losing consciousness, just waiting for this evil man to insult.
Ming Kaiyue's eyes were quick, and with a "swish" sound, the dagger in his hand flew towards the temple of the evil man, who first lowered his head to avoid the vital point, and caught the dagger with his empty hand. Turning his head and seeing Ming Kaiyue and an old man, he scolded angrily: "Hmph, where did you come from, a mongrel boy, dare to spoil grandpa's good deeds!"
"Adulterous thieves are going to be rampant! You rob the people's daughters in broad daylight, and heaven does not tolerate it, so I will do the right thing for heaven now. Ming Kaiyue shouted.
The evil man was not afraid, and laughed loudly: "Just because you also want to argue with grandpa, grandpa will ask you to go to Lord Yama to report!" After that, the wicked man took out the thunder god whip on his waist, which was four feet long and weighed thirty pounds. In the blink of an eye, the evil man had already jumped in front of him, and Ming Kaiyue saw that this thief was quite skillful, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he quickly pulled out the red dragon steel sword in his waist to meet the enemy.
I saw that the evil man jumped into the air, and smashed a heavy blow towards Ming Kaiyue's head, and between the lightning and flint, Ming Kaiyue crossed the sword to block the blow. I didn't think that the thief was very powerful, and he was so shocked that he held the sword and felt pain, and seeing that his sword was going to be pressed on his shoulder, Ming Kaiyue kicked at the evil man's upper body, and the evil man had long expected that Ming Kaiyue would have this move, and instantly withdrew the whip to block his kick, the evil man did not move, but Ming Kaiyue was shocked by his own leg strength and took a step back to stabilize his body.
Ming Kaiyue thought to himself, he didn't expect this thief to be so powerful, and the thunder god whip in his hand should not be underestimated, I am afraid that he is not inferior to him in terms of strength and hardness, but in terms of speed, he has the name of "fast sword", and he should be able to suppress him.
After thinking of countermeasures, Ming Kaiyue held the sword in his right hand and pointed at the wicked man with his left hand, the tip of the sword, the fingertips and the heart of the wicked man were three points and one line, only to see a blue and red shadow rushing straight towards the evil man, this is Ming Kaiyue's trick, "Desperate Rainbow Shadow". The speed of the Desperate Rainbow Shadow is unimaginable, and in the blink of an eye, Ming Kaiyue was already standing behind the evil man, and the evil man was also caught off guard, although he avoided the vital point, but his left arm had been cut off by Ming Kaiyue. The evil man sweated profusely in pain, howled angrily, and turned around like a beast with a sword in his right hand and swept towards Ming Kaiyue, and Ming Kaiyue had just made a trick, his physical strength was huge, and his hands and feet were in a state of numbness and unconsciousness, although the conditioned reflex blocked the blow of the evil man with a sword, but because there was no internal force to block it, and the pain of the evil man's broken arm was unbearable, as if the whole force was rampant, and it was not on the same level as before, Ming Kaiyue flew out.
The evil man was now red-eyed, and another whip was about to take his life, but a white shadow blocked the whip and knocked the wicked man out again, this person was Mu Wuya, who came with Ming Kaiyue. Mu Wuya only used one arm to block the wicked man's whip, and then used one palm to knock him away. Ming Kaiyue, who was lying on the ground, called out to Uncle Yu, and Mu Wuya motioned for him to be silent.
I saw that after the evil man was slapped by Mu Wuya, he vomited blood, and seemed to have regained his senses, so he said: "You two fight one, you can't win, hum, grandpa, I won't play with you!" After that, he picked up the broken arm and fled.
Ming Kaiyue wanted to get up and chase him, but Mu Wuya stopped him, "He's already a lost dog, let him go." Then he picked up Ming Kaiyue and went to see how the woman was doing.
The woman's hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn to shreds, and she fainted, and the fierce fight just now did not wake her up.
Mu Wuya took off his green robe and put it on the woman, Ming Kaiyue carried the woman on his back, and the three of them left the bamboo forest. And there were a few dark shadows in the depths of the bamboo forest, quietly following Mu Wuya and the others.
After Mu Wuya's nephew and the poor woman left the bamboo forest, they found an inn to live in the "Wuxia Town" not far away, and after the woman was ordered to settle down, the two went downstairs to eat.
Ming Kaiyue had no intention of eating, so he said: "That guy just now was so strong, if it weren't for the help of his master and uncle, I'm afraid the disciple would have whipped his soul." ”
"The relationship between you and my teacher and nephew is not polite. Mu Wuya took a sip of wine.
"It's just that the disciple is not good at learning, and he can't beat the thief. Ming Kaiyue lowered his head and said.
"You can't say that, do you know who he is?"
"Is he?"
"He's the 'Hot Hand Destroyer-Bloomer'. ”
"Is it the notorious flower thief in the rivers and lakes who 'destroys flowers with spicy hands'?"
"Exactly, and his master is the 'Poisonous Laughing King' - Wang Kai, we fought in that martial arts battle more than ten years ago, and I remember his master and apprentice. ”
"What about the 'Poison Laughing King'?"
"It's on par with the old man, but Wang Kai is good at using hidden weapons, all of which have his secret poisons, especially the 'Nine Songs of Laughter' of the old poison, even I don't dare to fight with him with his bare fists. As far as I know, he has no other disciples, only Bai Meng, and he has the true inheritance of his master Wang Kai. Mu Wuya drank another glass of wine and said: "So Kaiyue, it is understandable that you are not defeated by him, and if your trick is against others, spare him as an eight-way immortal, and you will have to hurt him a little." It's amazing!"
After listening to his uncle's comfort, Ming Kaiyue couldn't help but secretly compete, and swore in his heart that the next time he saw that thief, he would take his life.
"There's one thing I care about, though. Mu Wuya said again.
"What's the matter?"
"Why did he come here, and his master had a close relationship with the old thief of Nangong of the 'White Crane Gang', I'm afraid it would ......."
Before Mu Wuya could finish speaking, Ming Kaiyue exclaimed, "Didn't Nangong He send him to hunt down and kill the two of us?"
"I don't know yet, I only know that if the old thief of Nangong wants to take my life, he will never send him alone, and you have broken his left arm, now he is not a threat to the two of us, but I have to be careful, if it is really related to the old thief, then Bai Meng must still have helpers." ”
Ming Kaiyue nodded again and again.
At this time, a little two came over and said to Mu Wuya and the others: "Two guest officers, the girl doll who came with you just now has woken up and is looking for you." ”
"Oh, then let her come over and have dinner together. Mu Wuya commanded, and Xiao Er also ran to pass the word.
After a while, a delicate woman, with a ruddy complexion and a transparent green tulle, had already been dressed up, and her whole body was full of fragrance, and she walked down from the stairs like a fairy. The guests in the store had no intention of eating, and their eyes were all focused on this woman, who was stunned and made everyone blush. Under the guidance of Xiao Er, she came to Mu Wuya's table and wanted to kowtow to thank Mu Wuya, "Thank you for saving me." ”
Mu Wuya helped her up, "Don't do this big gift, we are people from the rivers and lakes, of course we have to draw a knife to help when we see injustice, girl, please get up quickly, and it is the little nephew who saves you." After the woman stood up, Mu Wuyayou said to her nephew: "Kaiyue, you move this girl somewhere." ”
I saw that Ming Kaiyue looked at this woman and was fascinated, and the woman's little face couldn't help but blush, "Kaiyue." Mu Wuya shouted again, and when Ming Kaiyue came back to his senses, he couldn't help but blush, and gave the woman a seat.
Mu Wuya said to the woman: "Don't be surprised by the girl, my nephew has a good temperament and good behavior, and he has no thoughts about the girl. ”
The woman looked at the scumbag man who was handsome, and chuckled: "Engong sacrificed his life to save the little woman, and the little woman ...... even if she promised each other" When the woman heard that she was not paying attention to what she said, she couldn't help but bow her head shyly, and Ming Kaiyue was also red when she heard it.
Mu Wuya saw that the two of them were in love, and laughed, "It's really a coincidence that there is no book, and it makes a marriage." I see that you are talented and beautiful, why don't you get married, it's also a beautiful thing!"
The two of them glanced at each other together, and immediately looked at him, Mu Wuya saw that neither of them wanted to express his position first, so he asked again: "By the way, I don't know the girl's name yet?"
The woman replied: "The little girl's real name is Ling Xue'er, my father calls me Xue'er, my father is a silk cloth merchant, my father and I came out of the house a month ago, and transported several truckloads of silk cloth to Shu to sell. Just the day before yesterday, I didn't expect to meet a gang of thieves on the road, they killed my father and robbed the car, and my eldest brother sacrificed his life to fight them to let me escape. But I just got out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth, and was robbed by a bearded man and taken to the bamboo forest......." As she spoke, Xue'er couldn't cry anymore.
"What kind of world is this!" Ming Kaiyue said angrily.
"Hey, it's another hard-working baby. Mu Wuya sighed.
"Don't be sad girl, if we avenge the murder of your father and the destruction of your family, will the girl be willing to marry my nephew?"
Xue'er said: "If it weren't for Engong who saved me, I'm afraid I would have suffered a lot*, the little girl's life was originally Engong's, but the family revenge has not been avenged, Xue'er should avenge her father and eldest brother, in order to fulfill her filial piety." If Engong fulfills Xue'er's wish, Xue'er is willing to serve Engong for the rest of her life. After that, Xue'er secretly glanced at Ming Kaiyue, who was already full of anger at this time, and wanted to kill the gang of thieves and the lewd thief Bai Meng now.
"Kaiyue, Xue'er has entrusted your life to you, you are a manly man, do you still hesitate?" asked Mu Wuya.
"When I slashed those villains first, avenged Miss Xue'er's family, and fulfilled Miss Xue'er's wish, I would like to marry her as a wife about Xue'er's lifelong trust!"
"What a big husband!" Mu Wuya laughed.
Xue'er also looked at this reliable man with tears in her eyes, she didn't expect to be able to rely on her in this life.
"Uncle Shi, when my nephew cleans up, let's set off to crusade against the thieves!"
