Chapter Seven: Red Plum Blossoms Playing in the Snow and Reaching the Sky (1)
Unni-an is located in a pine forest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe Taoist temple under the snow cover of the pine is simple and quiet, giving people a sense of tranquility and depression. Nangong Yu lightly buckled the door of the courtyard, and after a while, a little Taoist boy opened the door and asked, "The donor is here to make incense?" Nangong Yu said: "Nangong Yu under the gate of the Lower Heavenly Pavilion was ordered by the master to come to pay New Year's greetings to the master of Yunci Nunnery." Dao Tong said: "It turned out that the senior brother came, please come to the guest room and sit down." ā
Nangong Yu thanked him and followed Dao Tong into the temple. There are only two floors of courtyards in the Taoist temple, the back floor is the living quarter, the Sanqing Hall ** in the north of the front yard is dedicated to the three Tianzun of Taoism, and the four wings on both sides are used to entertain guests, which is slightly shabby. Dao Tong led him to the wing room and sat down, and after serving tea, he said, "Senior brother, wait a minute, Poor Dao will go and ask the master." Nangong Yu got up and said, "There is Aunt Lao Dao." āć
After a while, a person walked in from outside, but it was Zhu Xinqi, she was wearing a gray robe, her head was tied in a bun, white socks and cloth shoes on her feet, and a long sword on her back. Nangong Yu hurriedly got up and said, "Miss Zhu has been doing well lately. Zhu Xinqi looked at him in surprise and said in surprise: "How you have changed." It turned out that the hard training in the past few months had made Nangong Yu's appearance change a lot, her physique had become stronger and stronger, and her jade-like skin had also been tanned, leaving traces of wind and sun on her face. Nangong Yu said: "I'm not a son now, I have to do what I do, and the girl has lost weight." ā
At this time, Yun Ci walked in, and Nangong Yu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Junior Nangong Yu pays a visit to the master of the nunnery." Yun Ci waved the dust and said, "Get up." Nangong Yu thanked him and got up, and said: "The younger generation of the family teacher and the two senior brothers greet the owner of the nunnery for the New Year, and the owner of the nunnery is invited to smile at this New Year's goods." Master Yun Ci glanced at the rich gifts in the basket and said, "You have a heart, is Yao Guangzi okay?" Nangong Yu said: "The master of the nunnery is blessed, and the master is in good health." Yun Ci nodded and said, "Qingyi, take a handful of rice and three frozen cabbages for your senior brother to take back, which can be regarded as a return gift from the poor nun." Zhu Xinqi took the order to go. Nangong Yu knew that her name was "Qingyi".
Not long after, Zhu Xinqi came back with a bamboo basket and said, "Take it." Nangong Yu thanked him and was sent out of the gate by Zhu Xinqi. Nangong Yu said: "It's snowing outside, Miss Zhu should stay." Zhu Xinqi said: "It's okay to send it again." ā
The two walked out of Baizhang again, Yunni Nunnery was already hidden in the pine forest, Zhu Xinqi suddenly said: "I haven't seen you for a few months, let me see what you can learn." Nangong Yu realized the purpose of her sending, and said with a wry smile: "I haven't started to officially learn martial arts yet." Zhu Xinqi said: "Don't talk nonsense, look at the sword!" said with a flash of cold light, the long sword in his hand, and he stabbed when he was distracted by the move "Yunhai Dufeng". Nangong Yu was wearing chain mail, and he was unable to move, and he had just finished exercising, and he had rushed ten miles of mountain roads in the wind and snow, and he was already exhausted, so he hurriedly threw down the basket and barely hid to the side. Zhu Xinqi's sword momentum is not old, and then he changed his moves, and the long sword shook and danced eighteen sword flowers, and stabbed eighteen cuts on his jacket, which was already merciful, and then the false sword flickered, and his ankle was kicked at his feet, and Nangong Yu fell into the thick snow and fell into a big pit.
Zhu Xinqi put the sword back into its sheath, frowned and said, "Why haven't you made any progress, but your body style is not as good as before?" Nangong Yu sat up with difficulty, patted the snow dust on the bearskin, and said, "I told you that you haven't started practicing martial arts yet, why are you still fighting." Zhu Xinqi said: "Then what have you been doing in the Zhulian Water Pavilion during this time?" Nangong Yu said: "Do some chores such as stir-frying vegetables and mopping the floor, chopping wood and carrying water, and also practice some basic skills." Zhu Xinqi couldn't believe it and said, "You can do these jobs?" Nangong Yu said: "Won't you still know how to learn, it's not difficult, it's just a little tired." Zhu Xinqi looked at him carefully a few more times and said, "It seems that you have really changed a lot, and you are no longer the eldest son you used to be." Nangong Yu said: "Actually, the current life is quite suitable for me, and I don't miss the past days at all." Zhu Xinqi nodded and said: "It seems that I underestimate you, but don't forget that practicing martial arts is to prepare for major events in the future, how to do chores all the time, why don't I beg the master and let you come over to learn swordsmanship." Nangong Yu hurriedly said: "I can't help it, the nunnery is full of female feather guests, how can I live for a long time as a man, and your master will not agree." Besides, my master and brothers are very good to me, and doing these things is also to lay a foundation for future practice, and I am willing. Zhu Xinqi said: "Okay, let's learn after you practice martial arts." Nangong Yu said: "Yes, girl, please go back." ā
Zhu Xinqi said: "By the way, I want to ask you for help with something." Nangong Yu said: "Girl, please speak." Zhu Xinqi said: "Can you bring me with you next time you go to carry out the commission?" Nangong Yu thought for a while and said: "My master should have no problem there, how can the girl have this idea?" Zhu Xinqi sighed: "It was the master who instructed me to ask, the incense has not been prosperous recently, and the rations of the six people in the view all rely on the two acres of thin fields in the back mountain to live, and life has been quite tight." The master wants me to go out with you to run errands, one is to increase my experience, practice my skills, and the other is to earn some living expenses in Guanli. Nangong Yu suddenly said: "I see, no wonder the girl is reduced, my master will definitely agree, I have a few silver tickets here, please transfer them to the owner of the nunnery first, it is a donation to Guanli." Zhu Xinqi shook his head and said, "The master won't accept it." I also have a silver ticket on me, and I didn't want it when I gave it to the master a few times. She only takes real sesame oil money. Nangong Yu said: "I understand, but I am not qualified to carry out the commission now, so let my two senior brothers take you with me." Zhu Xinqi thought for a while and said, "I'm not familiar with your senior brother, so let's wait until you go out to come to me." Don't be too anxious, we won't be able to open the pot yet. Nangong Yu said: "Yes, I will definitely work hard to get the opportunity to get the commission as soon as possible." Zhu Xinqi nodded, glanced at him, and said, "I'm going back, you... Take care. Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Take care of the girl." ā
When Nangong Yu returned to the Zhulian Water Pavilion, it was already dark, Pang Mingyang made dinner for him, and during the banquet, Nangong Yu presented Yun Ci's return gift to Yao Guangzi, and told the story again. Yao Guangzi sighed: "I didn't expect that there are only six masters and apprentices left in Yunni Nunnery, if it weren't for the desperate Yun Ci's character, he wouldn't let the apprentices open their mouths." This favor must be helped. The next time you entrust, the three of you will go together and take that Miss Zhu with you. Pang Yuyang said: "Half of the commission fee is divided into them, we don't need so much." Yao Guangzi said: "We can share as much as we want, and we must not let Yun Ci think that we are taking pity on her." Pang Yuyang said: "The disciple understands. Yao Guangzi said: "In a few days, it will be the Shangyuan Festival, and I will give you a few days off." The valley is deserted, there is nothing to play, you go to Jinan Mansion to see the lanterns. Shen Jun was overjoyed and said, "Great, it's not bad for a few days, we can leave tomorrow." Yao Guangzi smiled angrily: "As long as you are in a hurry, it is okay, if you stay in the valley, your heart will fly early, if you want to go, don't make trouble." Shen Jun smiled: "With me here, you old man can rest assured." Yao Guangzi said angrily: "It is because of you that I am not at ease." ā
