Chapter Eighty-Seven: So You're Here, Too
PS: The repetitive chapter has been changed, can I say that I am also a victim?
Since ancient times, whether it is learning literature or practicing martial arts, at the beginning, talent is far more important than diligence.
Although it is said that diligence can make up for clumsiness, but some "clumsy" is far from being able to make up for the word diligence, and those with extraordinary talents, one month of practice is equal to one year of practice for stupid people, and even some stupid people practice for two years may not be able to achieve the results of one month of practice, such a big gap is by no means something that can be caught up by hard work.
But this is only the beginning, if it reaches a certain point, after the martial arts cultivation reaches an extremely high level, talent becomes no longer important.
At such a stage, a warrior's mind, bearing, and pattern are the factors that determine the final achievement of every warrior.
Of course, there is another condition that is most important, and that is luck.
The so-called luck comes, and the mountains can't stop it.
If a person has amazing luck and everything is smooth sailing, then this, talent, mind, pattern, and bearing can be thrown aside, and luck can often make people inexplicably achieve what they want.
But all the people in the world who have cultivated martial arts to the level of a half-step great grandmaster, who is not a person of good luck?
Who is not as talented as others?
At this time, the difference is in everyone's open-mindedness.
If you are like this kind of person who "fights for small profits on the head of a fly, and talks about false fame on the horn of a snail", he can practice martial arts to the level of a grandmaster, which is already at the limit, and he will never be able to reach the principle of a great grandmaster.
His pattern and open-mindedness have determined the size of his achievements.
This nameless old monk in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Fulong Temple, even if it is another hundred years, he will never be able to become a great master.
In his life, at best, he was an embarrassing martial artist who surpassed the average martial arts master, but he could never reach the level of a great grandmaster.
This person's back road is broken.
So even though he could take Yang Yi's life with a wave of his hand, Yang Yi just looked down on him.
Without it, the mind is not enough, and the pattern is too small!
After sitting quietly at the desk for a while, Yang Yi no longer had the heart to look at the scriptures and documents in this scripture pavilion, he stood up and prepared to leave this place.
He didn't know anything in his heart, since there was such an old monk in this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, why didn't this old monk come to the rescue when the masked man killed the monks in Fulong Temple before?
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what to do, and finally Yang Yi smiled dumbly, "This is a matter in their temple, why should I bother with it?"
At that moment, I pushed the door out of the building and arrived outside the Scripture Pavilion.
The two little novices guarding the door saw Yang Yi come out, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The third prince wants to eat fast?" Regarding the movement of Yang Yi and the nameless old monk in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, these two little novices did not notice at all.
Yang Yi waved his hand and said: "Why don't you go and report to the monk, there is nothing beautiful in the scriptures in this temple, go and tell him that I am leaving!"
The two little novices didn't dare to slack off, one led Yang Yi to the stone bench and stone table under the ancient tree nearby, sat down to serve tea and refill water for Yang Yi, and the other ran quickly to the other side.
As soon as a cup of tea was brewed, the old monk had already strode over.
Compared with just now, the monk's face was very good, and he was no longer disgraced, and it seemed that the poison had been forced out by him.
Ran was surprised, "Childe just entered the scripture building, why do you have to leave?"
Yang Yi said with a smile: "I saw it just right, but suddenly I smelled a foul smell, and I couldn't sit down in it, so I had to come out and avoid it!"
"Stink?"
Ran Qi said: "The temple building is cleaned all the year round, where will there be a smell? Son, wait a minute, after eating fasting, I will let the sweeping monk clean it, and it is not too late for you to enter it." ”
Yang Yi shook his head and said: "Thank you monk for your kindness, I came to the temple today to have a visit, to see the martial arts inheritance of your temple, and now not only entered your temple, but also boarded the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, this harvest is already unimaginable, not to mention that I got another enlightenment Bodhi leaf, it is even more unexpected." ”
Yang Yi hugged his fists and saluted, "Life is shallow, and I don't dare to ask for anything more." Then he was ready to leave.
Ran said: "The third prince is slow, just now when the monk was collecting the corpses of the monks in the back mountain, he found a girl in the sedan chair carried by the masked man, this girl was sealed all over the body, and the old man is now weak in skill and cannot be untied, and he needs the son to rescue this woman." ”
Yang Yi smiled: "There is still such a thing?"
Under the leadership of Ran, he entered a small courtyard, and a light gauze sedan chair was placed in the courtyard.
Ran said: "This female benefactor is inconvenient to stay in the temple, if the third prince can unlock her acupoint, it is the best, if not, I am afraid that the prince will have to trouble the prince to take her to the bottom of the mountain......"
In the sound of clear speaking, Yang Yi lifted the sedan curtain.
A delicate girl was sleeping soundly in the sedan chair, a slight snoring sound, a small mouth chirping, and drooling wet sleeves.
Yang Yi glanced at it a few times and looked at it funny, "Are you sure she was captured by the masked man?"
The old monk also had a wry smile on his face, "Amitabha, this girl has a good heart and a generous heart, and she can sleep sweetly at this time." ”
Yang Yi put his hand on the young man's wrist, and after breathing, he had already identified her sealed acupoint, and then slapped his right hand at the girl's top door, and shouted with a smile: "Gu Caiyu, get up and eat!"
The sleeping girl's body shook, and she quickly turned over and sat up, "Oh, it's time to eat?
This girl's skin is like cream, her pink cheeks are better than snow, her dimples are shallow, and her eyes are very smart, she is Gu Caiyu, who has not been separated from Yang Yi for a long time.
Gu Caiyu shouted a few words before he came to his senses: "Huh, have I unlocked my acupoint?"
When he looked up and saw Yang Yi, his eyes showed a color of surprise, and his little face instantly turned red with excitement, "Ah, Brother Yang, are you here too?"
Yang Yi didn't know that in Gu Caiyu's mind in the past few days, **** was flashing his figure every night. Seeing her flushed face at this moment, I thought it was caused by the surprise of getting out of trouble, and said with a smile: "Yes, I happened to come to this Fulong Temple to play today, and I saw you sleeping in this sedan chair." ”
After Gu Caiyu walked out of the sedan chair, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said with a depressed expression: "I don't want to sleep either, I just came out of the inn yesterday, and I was caught in the sedan chair by a group of masked people. ”
Yang Yi smiled and said: "It's a blessing to be able to eat and sleep, do you see if there are any things left on your body? If not, let's leave here." ”
When Gu Caiyu heard this, he touched his sleeve, and then nodded and said, "There is nothing left, let's go." ”
Seeing that the two of them turned out to be old acquaintances, he was surprised: "I didn't expect this female benefactor to be an old acquaintance with the third prince! ”
Gu Caiyu was stunned and said, "Third Son, what is the Third Son, is it Brother Yang?"
She looked at Yang Yi with great interest, "Brother Yang, it turns out that you are ranked third, should I call you Third Brother Yang in the future?"
Yang Yi smiled and said, "Call me third brother?" this is also done, but now let's go down the mountain first." ”
Yang Yi and Gu Caiyu repeatedly refused to be retained by the monk Ran, and the two went down the mountain together.
After getting off Fulong Temple, Yang Yi let out a whistling, the yellow horse neighed and ran over, Yang Yi patted the yellow horse's head and looked at Gu Caiyu, "Miss Gu, you can ride my horse first." ”
Gu Caiyu shook his head and said, "Why don't we walk together." ”
Yang Yi said with a smile: "It's okay, the peach blossoms here are intoxicating, it is a good scenery, let's drink and talk." ”
Yang Yi handed the wine jug around his waist to Gu Caiyu, "Take two sips?"
Gu Caiyu blushed and shook her head, "No, no, I'm going to quit drinking!" Although she shook her head, her stomach growled, and her saliva couldn't stop swallowing, obviously slandering.
Yang Yi laughed when he saw this, and Gu Caiyu's face turned even redder.
In the midst of laughter, Yang Yi took out a piece of cooked beef wrapped in oiled paper from the leather bag on the back of the yellow horse, and after holding it in the palm of his hand for a while, the beef was steaming, and the aroma of the meat was mouth-watering.
Gu Caiyu was even more unbearable at this time, her abdomen sounded like thunder, her eyes were staring at the cooked beef in Yang Yi's hands, and she couldn't wait to stretch out a pair of hands from her eyes to grab this piece of meat into her mouth.
His lips were tightly closed, and he was afraid that if he accidentally opened his mouth, his saliva would flow out.
After a while, the aroma of the meat became stronger, Yang Yi tore open the oil paper and handed it to Gu Caiyu, and said with a smile: "Eat, this is the beef from the Huang family's beef shop in the city, and the taste is okay." ”
Gu Caiyu was no longer reserved, and took the beef from Yang Yi's hand half-grabbed, and with a bite of "Ahhh
Yang Yi saw that she was eating sweetly, and handed the wine jug in his palm to her, "Just drink a little." ”
Since she couldn't pretend to be a well-informed lady in front of Yang Yi, Gu Caiyu simply no longer made it difficult for herself, and recovered her true nature, after eating a few bites of beef in her hand, she stretched out her greasy little hand and took the wine jug handed by Yang Yi.
Yang Yi smiled and said: "There is no wine shop in that city? Which wine shop has no fine wine? As long as you are willing to pay, you are still worried about not having wine to drink?"
Gu Caiyu shook his head and said, "If you have money, you may not be able to drink good wine!"
Yang Yi smiled and said no more.
At this time, the mountain wind blows the trees, the falling flowers are colorful, the slanting sun spreads the water, and the half of the river is sorrowful.
The fishermen and songs on the nearby river answered each other, and the woodcutter in front of him sang with firewood, and the indescribable leisurely charm filled the whole world.
Gu Caiyu's eyes were confused, his thoughts were flying, and he suddenly spoke: "Brother Yang, are you going to the south?"
Yang Yi said: "Yes, I want to go to the 100,000 mountains in the south and send a letter to a senior." ”
The brilliance in Gu Caiyu's eyes suddenly brightened a little, and he said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I am also about to rush to Huangzhou in the south, and the two of us are all the way." ”
Yang Yi smiled: "That's a coincidence, could it be that this treasure of Jin Xuangan is at the boundary of Huangzhou?"
Gu Caiyu had no intention of concealing it, and said: "Yes, I accidentally threw the exquisite jade plaque in the bucket a few days ago, when the sunlight was refracted and shone obliquely on the jade plaque in the water, and the handwriting was actually shot out on the water surface, which was said to be in the Xuangan Cave of Shilongling, Huangzhou, and there were relics left." ”
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, seeing that she casually told this secret to herself, she didn't worry at all that she would be greedy and swallow the treasure privately, and couldn't help but look at Gu Caiyu with admiration, "This girl is really atmospheric!"
He didn't know that Gu Caiyu fell in love with him at first sight, his mind was full of him in the past few days, and at this moment, he was not defensive at all in front of Yang Yi, it was simply Yang Yi who asked something, she answered anything, and the original elf eccentricity dissipated without a trace in front of Yang Yi.
After the two went down the mountain, they went to the inn where Yang Yi was, and after opening a room for Gu Caiyu, they rested separately and didn't say anything all night.
The next day, the two arrived at the dock by the Huanglong River.
The Huanglong River is dozens of miles wide, and it is difficult to build bridges on the river, so if you want to cross the river, you have to take a boat.
On the other side of the Huanglong River, it is Pingzhou, Yang Yi went south to 100,000 mountains, this Pingzhou is a must pass, Gu Caiyu went to Huangzhou, but also through Pingzhou.
On the wharf, the canopy boats are arranged in a large area, and the tourists who cross the river are full of ten people before they start the boat. If there is a generous person, you can also charter the whole boat, and the captain will naturally leave immediately.
Yang Yi chose a small boat and threw a piece of broken silver to the boatman, "Get some Jiang Xian to drink, if it is well reorganized, there will be silver money to reward you." ”
The boatman is a swarthy man, and there is a girl in the back cabin who is collecting the net.
After taking the broken silver, the strong man said with a smile: "Childe is lucky, I just caught a few saury fish, it is the time for the fish to be fat and delicious, so I guarantee that Childe will never forget it." ”
The two entered the cabin, Gu Caiyu curiously walked to the rear cabin to watch, and saw that there were a few knife-shaped silverfish in the bucket in the rear cabin that were jumping and jumping, making a splash.
The strong man rocked the boat and smiled at Yang Yi: "Childe, now that the saury in the river is spawning and going thousands of miles away, the saury in this section of the river basin is extremely rare, and it is really lucky to be able to catch a few in the net today." ”
Yang Yi is no stranger to the saury, every year there are local officials to pay homage to the Taishi Mansion in bags and barrels of river fresh, dried seafood scallops, and live animals, so although this saury is delicious, he is not very rare. It's just that he hasn't eaten the orthodox fisherman's meal yet, but this time he is a little interested.
In the sound of "Zhan Nai", the canopy boat slowly moved towards the center of the river.
At this time, the wind and waves are calm, yesterday's rolling river water has become a smooth and mirror-like slow stream, the surrounding mountains, rocks and trees reflect both banks, the white clouds in the sky, and the birds in the clouds are reflected one by one on the calm river surface, I really don't know whether it is the boat moving, the water moving, or the clouds moving, the heart moving.
Yang Yi stood at the bow of the boat, looking at such a calm river, he always felt that something was wrong, and the feeling of oppression in his heart became heavier and heavier, and he asked the boatman: "Brother, was this river so calm in the past?"
The man in the prime of life shook the boat quickly, and gasped: "Today, the river is very weird, the villain has been traveling for decades, and it is the first time I have seen it, and my heart is like pressing a big mountain, and I always feel that something dangerous has happened!"
Yang Yi's sense of oppression became stronger and stronger, and he walked up to the boatman and said, "You give me the boat, I'll shake it, and you take the helm!"
The man in the prime of life was surprised: "How can this be done? Childe is a rich and noble man, how can such physical work be done by Childe?"
Yang Yi smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, you go to the stern of the ship to hold the rudder and control the direction!"
His face was calm at this time, and he had a majestic bearing, and the boatman was taken by his majesty, and couldn't help but listen to his orders.
Slowly shook the boat in his hand a few times, the boat initially turned around, not listening to the call, but after shaking a few times, Yang Yi mastered the skills, rocking the oar like flying, and the boat shot towards the opposite side of the river like a sharp arrow.
The boatman was surprised at the stern: "Childe is so smart!"
Seeing that Yang Yi shook the boat like a spinning wheel, they all had a phantom, and said, "Childe is so strong!"
Gu Caiyu walked to Yang Yi's side with a heavy face, "Brother Yang, I always feel panicked, you shake it faster!"
Yang Yi smiled: "I want to be faster, this ship must be broken!"
While the two were talking, the surface of the river had changed, and a terrible exclamation began to be heard in the distance. (To be continued.) )
