Chapter 14: There is an inn
After dinner, the little fat man came to the back mountain alone, with great grievance and helplessness. In his hand, he held his Qiushui Yanling knife and the "Phaseless Knife Method". Speaking of which, let's explain why the little fat man is aggrieved and helpless.
It turned out that before eating, after Qiao Huacheng handed over the knife to the little fat man, he let him figure it out on his own. If you don't understand something, you can ask your brothers and sisters, or ask your master and sister. The little fat man took this knife and the Qiushui Yanling knife, mysteriously pulled Qiao Ruyan down to a no-man's corner of the back mountain, and quietly stuffed the "Wuxiang Knife Method" and the Qiushui Yanling knife into Qiao Ruyan's hand.
To the little fat man's surprise, he didn't see the ecstasy that the little senior sister had when her wish was fulfilled, but frowned slightly, looked at the little fat man with a puzzled face and asked, "Senior brother, what are you doing here?"
Qiao Ruyan was puzzled, and the little fat man was even more puzzled, and said in a daze: "Senior sister, don't you like this knife? I'll give it to you." ”
Hearing the little fat man's words, Qiao Ruyan almost didn't jump up like a cat that had been stepped on by someone's tail. I saw her eyebrows upside down, her face flushed, and she asked the little fat man loudly: "Zhu Xiaopang, what are you telling me clearly, when did I say that I wanted your broken knife?"
The little fat man was startled when he saw Qiao Ruyan's eyebrows frowning and his phoenix eyes widened, and he was uneasy in his heart: Could it be that he would be wrong about his senior sister?
"In the afternoon, I saw you running away with a red face, thinking you liked this knife, and you were too embarrassed to open your mouth to me......"
The little fat man said what he thought in his heart, stared at Qiao Ruyan directly, and watched her reaction uneasily.
After listening to the little fat man's words, Qiao Ruyan's flushed face turned purple, and slowly turned black again. The little fat heart shouted: "It's broken!" Sure enough, Qiao Ruyan waited for the little fat man, and said loudly: "Who likes your broken knife? You dead fat man, stupid fat man!" After speaking, Qiao Ruyan threw the Qiushui Yanling knife in his hand and the "Wuxiang Knife Method" on the ground, turned around and ran in the direction of Xiyuan, and went away along the mountain road.
The little fat man ate Qiao Ruyan and scolded him, and some of the second monks were confused. After being stunned for a while, he picked up the treasure knife and knife book on the ground, his soul was ashamed, he lowered his head, and slowly walked back to Xiyuan.
After arriving in Xiyuan, I saw Qiao Ruyan. However, Qiao Ruyan became ignorant of the little fat man, and let the little fat man please him in every possible way, but Qiao Ruyan still ignored it.
After dinner, the little fat man wanted to ask Qiao Ruyan to come out and explain, apologize to her, and even let her scold herself fiercely. However, Qiao Ruyan seemed to know the little fat man's thoughts, and after eating, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, not knowing where he had gone.
The little fat man couldn't find Qiao Ruyan, so in desperation, he had to come to the back mountain alone. At this time, it was late, it was summer, the weather was sultry, and the sound of autumn cicadas was noisy.
On the hill, on a moonlit night, the river is rippling. After the wind, it is fragrant, and the willow branches are weeping in the reed pond. Nantian bamboo, golden chrysanthemum, lonely flowers bloom in the valley. Green meadows, falling fireflies, and starry skies.
Such a beautiful day, but without a beautiful woman, made Zhu Xiaopang feel infinite regret. I regretted it, so I had to pick up the book "Wuxiang Knife Method" and study it by myself.
The fragment of the "Phaseless Knife Method" is divided into eight types, namely: starting type, horizontal knife type, splitting knife type, teasing knife type, spatula type, swinging knife type, winding knife type, and returning knife type. Although these eight-style names look ordinary, ordinary ones can be seen everywhere like Chen Agou and Wang Erdan in people's names. However, in this ordinary, there are mysteries everywhere. Every move and every style is like a piece of jade, carefully crafted by a skilled craftsman, and if you want to change the slightest, you will lose the charm of this knife technique. Waved it away, it seemed to be a prosaic move, but it was infinitely killing, so that the opponent could not think of what move to use to crack it.
The knife style of "Phaseless Knife Method" seems ordinary, but the knife intent is infinitely mysterious. In the "Phaseless Sword Method", there are three realms, namely: no one, no self, and no sentient beings.
There is no one, that is, in a duel with the opponent, there is no enemy in his eyes. It seems that he is practicing knives as usual, and he looks like he is entertaining himself, but his opponent is struggling to cope.
Without self, the knife method is no longer called the knife method, and it seems to be a casual and chaotic knife, but it can make the opponent at a loss, and I don't know how to crack it.
There are no sentient beings, in the group battle, the spiritual platform is empty, and there is no one or thing in his mind, as if he is one with all things in heaven and earth.
Although the little fat man only took a cursory look, he was fascinated by the three realms mentioned in this knife book, and he longed for it.
The little fat man watched and practiced, as if he was one with the vast night. If someone passes by and sees the little fat man at this moment, they will be surprised. Because, apart from the sound of knives, only a black fog could be seen, moving rapidly there. The faint of heart may think that it is a person in the devil's path who has reappeared in the world, and he is scared to the core.
The originally brightly lit manor of Xianjian Villa dimmed one after another. The long night, the quiet night, gradually, lost the noise and color of the day. The chickens are on the shelves, the dogs are in the nest, and the human voice is gradually becoming inaudible. The sky suddenly darkened, and it turned out to be a cloud that covered the moon. At the foot of the mountain, in the forest, dotted with stars, it is the wild ghost guarding his lonely grave.
Unconsciously, the moon is in the middle of the sky. Although the little fat man can't put down this knife technique, he has not yet reached the realm of sleeplessness. Seeing that it was already late, the little fat man put away the treasure knife and knife book with satisfaction, and strode towards the West Garden.
On the second day, Chubby wanted to explain and apologize to Qiao Ruyan. However, Qiao Ruyan avoided him everywhere, and without waiting for the little fat man to speak, he flew away like a flight. The little fat man who is harmful is anxious all day long, and he can't eat sweetly.
On the third day, Qiao Ruyan was finally willing to talk to the little fat man, although it was only a few sporadic words, which also made the little fat man ecstatic. However, whenever the little fat man wanted to mention the events of that day, Qiao Ruyan covered his ears and ran away, leaving the little fat man standing there, helpless.
On the third day, Qiao Ruyan recovered as before, talking and laughing with the little fat man. In addition to secretly being happy, the little fat man was also thinking about whether to mention the events of that day. Just when the little fat man was struggling to make a decision, the master made a decision. Tomorrow's trip to Fulong Valley, let their master, that is, Qiao Ruyan's mother-in-law Ji Yanling, accompany the four of them together. Because, accompanied by an experienced person in the rivers and lakes, it is easy to take care of you along the way.
Qiao Ruyan heard that there was a mother along the way, and cheered. The little fat man also dances with his hands, because Ji Yanling usually treats him best.
Qiao Huacheng looked at the four beloved apprentices and beloved wives in front of him, explained some of the things they paid attention to on the road, and asked them to go to bed early and prepare for tomorrow's journey.
Tomorrow will be an exciting and unforgettable start. With such a thought, the little fat man entered a sweet dreamland.
Early the next morning, after a few people had breakfast, they rode out on horseback, and Qiao Huacheng sent them to the foot of the mountain. After a thousand instructions, I finally sent them away. Joe turned into staring at the backs of his beloved wife and beloved disciples until he couldn't see them. Qiao Huacheng thought that he wouldn't see them for a month, and he didn't know if they could grow, so he was looking forward to it and was a little worried, sighed, and turned around to go up the mountain.
Qiao Huacheng turned around and saw that the senior brother of the door master was standing not far behind him at some point, just like himself, looking at the direction where the teenagers had gone.
"Senior brother, why are you here too?" Qiao Huacheng asked with a look of astonishment, and walked a few steps closer to You Ao's side.
You Ao retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "I'm here to send these people hope for the future of our villa. ”
Listening to the words of the senior brother, Qiao Huacheng was also a little excited in his heart. Once upon a time, his own disciples could also enjoy the expectations of the sect master, such an honor. All of this is thanks to his newly recruited disciple Zhu Xiaopang.
"Senior Brother, do you think this experience can make them greatly improve their cultivation?" Qiao Huacheng said hopefully to You Ao for advice.
You Ao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I can't guarantee that my cultivation will improve significantly, but this Fulong Valley experience will definitely be helpful to my cultivation." ”
You Ao paused for a moment, and then said, "You apprentices, your qualifications are good. Especially that little fat man, he is a genius. Although it looks bloated, it is clumsy on the outside and show on the inside. In time, this little fat man's cultivation will definitely be good. ”
When Qiao Huacheng heard this, he was a little surprised, thinking that before he thought that Zhu Xiaopang was not suitable for cultivating immortals, he let him do miscellaneous things for eight or nine years. In the past few years, I don't know how much he has been delayed. Well, now the little fat man is like a butterfly that has just broken out of its cocoon, a bud that has a new horn. I hope that this Fulong Valley experience will allow him to quickly improve his cultivation.
"Zhu Xiaopang's qualifications are different from ordinary people, and I also hope that he can become a talent as soon as possible. Qiao Huacheng said.
As everyone knows, after this Fulong Valley experience, a major incident happened to the little fat man, which almost made him lose all his qualifications and talents, and he was reduced to the point of being a wasted person. This is an afterword, and I will say it slowly.
Qiao Huacheng and You Ao returned to the villa without mentioning it, and said that Zhu Xiaopang and his party followed the official road, quickly whipped their horses, and ran wildly all the way. Except for ten o'clock at noon, when I stopped to eat a few steamed buns, and let the horses eat grass for a while, I didn't rest. In the evening, we arrived at an open field. The summer was scorching, and along the way, people were already sleepy and tired, and gradually changed from running wild to trotting. According to Qiao Ruyan's meaning, I want to find a place to rest. Otherwise, if you go any further, it will be dark. Tomorrow there is still a day to go before we can reach Fulong Valley. According to Ji Yanling's meaning, find an inn first, rest for one night, and then continue on the road tomorrow.
As he was walking, Zhu Xiaopang suddenly reined in his horse, pointed to the front and said, "Master, there is a family stack there." ”
