Chapter Seventy-Eight: Retiring to the Rivers and Lakes as a Hero (Eating Dumplings and Playing with Sister-in-law on the Winter Solstice)
Fall to the top of the Wild Goose Peak
The sunset reflected the golden yellow of a figure sitting on the edge of the cliff, and the majestic internal force continued to rotate in his body, until he ran for more than 16 weeks, and then slowly got up.
It was Liu Yibai, and it had been more than a month since the last time he was tried in the 'Demon Elimination Palace'. This month, he was grounded in the mountain behind Luoyan Peak and was not allowed to leave half a step. Every day, he concentrates on studying martial arts, and his ears don't listen to things outside the window.
The events of that day are still vivid, Song Yifei saw that he denied poisoning his fellow senior brother, and forcibly saved him despite public opinion. It's just that he was punished for thinking about it on the back mountain, and he was not allowed to leave half a step without permission.
When you are sleepy, you will go into the cave to sleep, when you are hungry, you will send the food to you, and when you are bored, you will fight boxing and practice swords. This month, there is also a lot of gain. Although Xiuwei is like a pool of stagnant water, there is no sign of a breakthrough. But whether it is the understanding of martial arts, the experience of the enemy is not a level higher than in the past.
"Yibai, come here. A calm voice came from behind him.
Seeing that Song Yifei was coming, Liu Yibai hurriedly followed.
Go straight to the place where the master and apprentice chatted the last time he came down the mountain. Song Yifei was thoughtful and asked lightly: "What do you think is 'Xia'?"
Liu Yibai didn't know what he meant, paused for a while, and replied tentatively: "The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people." This is chivalrous. ”
"What is Chivalry?"
"Being in the court is holy, and retreating to the rivers and lakes is chivalrous. ”
That's the answer you should have. Song Yifei bowed his head slightly and sighed: "I believe that you are kind in your bones. Everyone's circumstances are different, and what they do will be different. You grow up and have your own ideas. ”
Coughing lightly twice, he continued: "Your senior sister has been looking for you for several months, and there has been no news so far. Go down the mountain today, be sure to find your senior sister, this child is very wild, maybe he is greedy for fun and does not want to go back to the mountain. ”
Liu Yibai frowned, and he had asked Senior Sister why he hadn't come to see him before. Shi Niang kept being vague and didn't tell him the truth, but just said that he had retreated and cultivated. But she never thought that she had come down the mountain to find herself.
"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely bring my sister back. ”
....
The two were relatively speechless.
After packing up briefly, Liu Yibai hurried down the mountain, and no one stopped him all the way. I think it should be Song Yifei who said hello. When he arrived at the foot of Luoxia Mountain, Liu was suddenly at a loss, and only then did he remember that he didn't know where to find his senior sister.
After thinking about it to no avail, I had to go into Jinling City to make plans again. The best place to find out the news is in the restaurant, where people come and go, from the officials and nobles to the peddlers and pawns. In his spare time, he likes to invite three to drink and gossip at the dinner table.
After wandering around the city for a long time, I unconsciously walked to the inn when I first went down the mountain into Jinling City.
Shocked the officials, met the Qing Dynasty by chance, fought hard for Xin Wuji, made trouble with the prefect of Jinling, fought Luo Cheng in a bloody battle, met Yang Suxian, and killed Li Tianyi..... This scene is like reappearing yesterday, constantly turning over and passing in the sea of Liu Yibai's knowledge.
"Guest officer, do you want to stay in a hotel or a hotel?" An extremely flattering voice sounded in Liu Yibai's ears, waking him up from his contemplation.
Liu Yibaixing's eyes were slightly wrinkled, and it was really a bit disappointing to be forcibly interrupted by someone to reminisce. looked at it coldly, and saw that it was the clever shop Xiao Er who had kindly reminded him of the previous stay, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly.
The "hiss......" shopkeeper was startled, and immediately scratched his head with his hand. "This son has an extraordinary bearing, and he looks a little familiar. ”
Liu Yibai took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it over, and said lightly: "Thank you, little brother, for reminding me." Then regardless of the shopkeeper's reaction, he walked to the inn by himself.
"Thank you, little brother, for the reminder..... Thank you..."The shopkeeper frowned, constantly thinking about Liu Yibai's inexplicable words. Suddenly, the whole person jumped up more than a foot high as if he was crazy, slapped his thigh heavily, pointed at Liu Yibai excitedly, and said, "You are ..... Willow...."
"Shhhhhhh
The shopkeeper looked panicked, covered his lips tightly with his hands, and didn't dare to say another word.
His expression was truly wonderful, and it was hard to imagine that a person could go from doubt to surprise and finally to panic in an instant. Every expression was vividly interpreted by him, which was breathtaking.
The shopkeeper carefully led Liu Yibai to the upstairs by the window, and said with a smile: "Is Childe still the same?"
"Huh?" Liu Yibai was puzzled.
"It's just a pot of good wine and a few side dishes. ”
Liu Yibai couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, the memory of the second child in this shop is really good. This sentence is exactly the answer he gave when he asked himself what to eat when he first came.
smiled: "Just give it to me as you say." ”
"Well, Childe, wait a minute, take a sip of tea first, and the things will be ready for you immediately. ”
The tea in the cup is slightly bitter, and it is not as mellow as the West Lake Longjing drunk in Hangzhou Jingxian Tower. But also, how can this inn be compared to the Amazing Immortal Tower? I am a little confused.
After barely taking a few sips of tea, Liu Yibai listened carefully to the speeches of everyone in the building to see if he could find some news about his senior sister.
After listening to the work of about a cup of tea, he felt that he was not interested. These people are all talking about the son of the old king of the next door marrying a daughter-in-law, the young lady of which family is so smart, and there are a few courtesans in Zuichunlou. And so on, there is nothing of value at all.
"Sect Master Mu is really a dragon and phoenix among people, and his age is not much different from you and me. A character who is cultivated but has approached the older generation. ”
At this moment, a sick man with a short beard and a boy in brocade clothes walked up from downstairs, and while talking, the two were already sitting behind Liu Yibai.
"Sect Master Mu..... Could it be Mu Xiuhan?" Liu Yibai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pricked up his ears to listen to the two of them.
The sick man poured his tea first and drank it all. wiped his mouth and continued: "On the fifteenth day of this month, this Ten Thousand Swords Sect will reopen the mountain gate in Luoyang. Sect Master Mu posted a heroic post, and he was lucky and also received an invitation. ”
When it comes to the hero post, the sick man's face is not without color.
The boy in brocade said disdainfully: "What is Mu Xiuhan." It's not a thousand-year-old yet. ”
"In my opinion, his Ten Thousand Swords Sect is nothing more than a thunderstorm and a small raindrop. I'm afraid it's hard to turn over. ”
The sick man asked, "According to what my brother has seen, who else can compare to this Ten Thousand Swords Sect Master Mu?"
"Hmph. The boy in brocade looked at the surroundings and said in a low voice: "Who else can there be, of course, the 'Willow Demon' who has been in the limelight recently." ”
