Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 221 Youxian (6000 words, extra updates for the leader hisstoreo)

Rain falls from the moonlight.

"Ah, I'm not young yet, my clothes are getting wet!" Li Mingqing held her head and looked at the sky.

It was indeed not the slightest drizzle on the lake that day. The raindrops were like rice grains. Although they were not very big, they could be said to be dense.

However, Pei Ye couldn't get wet. He walked under the eaves, stuck his head out and looked at the night sky, and nodded in agreement: "It's indeed not small."

The girl bit her lip and looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Pei Ye asked, tilting his head, and then his body was pulled out of the eaves.When he turned around, the girl had already hid on his right side.

The cold rain hit her body, and Pei Ye felt that this scene seemed familiar.

".Li Minqing."

"Ok?"

"This is your second time."

"That's right! This is the second time, and you still want me to take the initiative to tease you."

"Why can I do it if you can't?"

"My clothes are getting wet."

".The one I'm wearing now is quite expensive, isn't it?"

"I obviously bought this for you!"

"Your silver is also silver."

"You're not afraid of getting this thing wet." The girl finally made her final decision.

Pei Ye looked down and saw that the raindrops had obviously wetted dark flowers on his clothes.

"Then I'll walk behind you." Pei Ye took a step back under the eaves.

"Huh? No."

"what happened?"

"How can we talk behind the scenes?"

"Why can't you talk when you're walking behind?"

"." Li Mingqing bit her lip and looked at him. After a moment of anger, she stepped out of the eaves and stood side by side with him. "I'll just go outside."

"You did it voluntarily."

"." Li Mingqing stomped hard on his back.

"What are you doing?" Pei Ye turned around in confusion.

"Step on your shadow!"

"."

The girl stepped on it again, turned around with a bulging face, and looked at the boy's blinking eyes. Both of them couldn't help laughing.

Then he saw the young man's eyes following the shadow to the end, and his smile suddenly faded.

Li Mingqing followed his gaze and saw that their shadows were close to each other, especially their heads. She was shorter and had a shorter shadow, but now she was standing behind the young man, almost touching him intimately. Together.

Li Mingqing immediately took a step back and felt his face heat up.

Then her consciousness returned to her brain. Looking at the gap between the two, the girl realized that she had bounced a little too fast and a little too far.After giving the boy a careful look, she took two steps forward and stood side by side with him, lowering her head to keep the distance between them close to each other.

"Pei Ye, you are so childish!" She complained as if nothing had happened, the blush behind her ears not fading yet.

'I didn't step on anyone else's shadow. '

'I didn't step on it either! '

'That was stepped on by a puppy. '

The girl could have guessed that in the conversations that were about to take place, she would be the one who was so angry that she photographed him, but subconsciously, she was willing and even deliberately gave him such words and opportunities.

She didn't know that her face was filled with watery eyes at this time. She was looking at the young man and her next words were ready in her throat.

But the boy didn't look at her.

He didn't answer like before. He turned his head, leaving only the back of his head with black hair tied up: "Well, hurry up and leave. Your master will be waiting in a hurry soon."

".Oh."

The girl was startled for a moment, then tied her wet hair and followed.

"If there is anything you don't understand about the Cicada Sword, remember to ask the master." The girl thought about the meeting for a while.

".Um."

Pei Ye glanced at her, and then, under the girl's somewhat confused gaze, he lowered his head and silently walked outside the eaves, leaving the inside to her.
-
Bowang Garden, Zhuoyue Tower.

When the two came to the door, Qing Yi was waiting for them.

"Young Master, Mr. Pei, please go to the East Pavilion on the sixth floor."

Pei Ye was startled for a moment. He remembered that Cuiyu's private pavilion was on the fourth floor.But anyway, just remind people.

Walking up to the sixth floor, Dongyi was the most spacious pavilion with the best location. When he saw the facade, Pei Ye suddenly remembered - what Yang Yan said, this was clearly the Seven Dragon Cave. That's right.

The two stood in front of the door. Li Mingqing gently knocked on the door: "Master."

After a breath, an old voice came from the room: "Just come in."

The girl pushed open two heavy and quiet wooden doors, and Pei Ye walked in, her soles softening first.When he looked down, he saw that there was a blanket. When he looked up, the scent was already lingering on his nose. The girl closed the door behind him, and a quiet and leisurely atmosphere suddenly enveloped him.

Bypassing the two screens is the reception area of ​​this pavilion.In the middle of the house, there was a long low table with autumn chrysanthemums and agarwood placed on it. A tea set was placed in the middle. While they were going upstairs, the waiter had already made the tea.

Sitting behind the table was the old man he had met once, Li Weiru.

He was stooped, weak, morbidly thin and old, and his whole body looked like it could break apart with just a touch or take apart with two handfuls. There was no trace of the majesty of a master in him.After meeting that day, Pei Ye understood why the girl said that the master did not have many days left, and why the old man's presence was so weak in the battle between Cuiyu and Qijiao.

Being able to contain Luo Defeng with this life like a candle is no small miracle.

However, the old man's face still showed the gentleness of the past. He looked at the two people who came in, raised his hands to say hello, and showed a happy smile.

The voice was slow and hoarse, typical of an octogenarian: "I'm meeting you here, and I'd like to ask these two little heroes to examine whether my work is up to standard."

Pei Ye didn't take the liberty to speak for a while, but the girl next to him was already sitting on her knees at the table with a smile, not forgetting to hold his sleeve.

"You're qualified. It's time for you to rest. You haven't slept for several days, right?"

"Rest, isn't this just rest." Li Weiru smiled cheerfully, "I'll watch you play a game tomorrow, and I can still have a day off. My friends from Tianshan will be arriving the day after tomorrow, so I can take a long break."

The old man picked up the teapot, refused Li Mingqing's offer, and tremblingly poured clear hot tea for the two of them.Then he looked at Pei Ye slightly and said with a smile: "Well, Young Master Pei has changed into a very handsome outfit. Last time we met, we called him little brother. This time, we will call him 'Little Master Pei'."

"Where." Pei Ye smiled sheepishly.

Li Mingqing raised her head: "It looks good, I chose it for him."

"Yeah, it's really good-looking. At first glance, I thought it was Mo Zhu's child." Li Weiru nodded happily, then frowned slightly, tilted his head and said seriously to the girl, "But to be honest, Mo Zhu is a human being. He loves to dress up and puts on airs, but he may not necessarily be better-looking than Pei Shaoxia."

Li Mingqing nodded vigorously: "Zhang Mo Zhubai is miserable and speaks softly."

"Yes, yes, young people, you should be more energetic." The old man coughed a few times, took a sip of tea, and finished the sentence with a smile.

Then he looked at the already embarrassed young man, paused for a few words, picked up the teacup, and said seriously: "Pei Shaoxia, our last meeting was too hasty. This time, I want to solemnly thank you for being Cuiyu's benefactor. "

Pei Ye quickly stopped him, but the old man still stood up tremblingly, served the tea in one fell swoop, and drank a lot.

Pei Ye helped the old man sit down: "That person came for me, I was just trying to save myself."

Li Weiru looked at him gently with a smile: "I just like your humble and not arrogant look, young hero. You should learn more from others."

".Oh."

"No no."

"It's true, Mr. Pei. We have disciples like Mr. Cuiyu. We all grew up in the mountains, and have been wild since childhood, and few are quiet and polite. I tried hard to set up a school before, but ended up getting angry and driving away several teachers, and there was nothing I could do. "It's gone." Li Weiru shook his head helplessly, "Look at this year, Qing Qing, Shen Yao, Chu Nian. Also, in the past, Yuliang was not afraid of anything. Only Kuang Rong was more stable. , but it has nothing to do with humility.”

Pei Ye wanted to shirk it again, but when she thought about it, she was being modest again. Feeling the faint gaze of the girl next to her, she smiled and stopped talking.

But anyway, the old man liked him no matter how he saw it. He said gently: "Young Master Pei, the most important business today is to settle the thank you gift - eh, there is no need to shirk it."

"As for this matter, first of all, no matter what you want, I will try my best to get it for you within the reach of Cuiyu's wings. Secondly, I have thought of the following things. No matter what you want, this There are a few things that will not be changed and must be given to you." Li Weiru dismissed Pei Ye's interruption and continued, "One of them is "Yellow Jade". I have asked someone to go to the mountain gate to pick up the copy these days. Right here."

The old man placed a small box on the table. When he opened the lid, there was a hardcover volume inside.

"As for the other sword techniques, you can learn them at will if you are interested. However, you still have to remember the principle of biting off more than you can chew." Li Weiru said slowly, "Secondly, Qingqing said you are short of one. Horse, I asked someone to buy a precious colt from a neighboring state, just to give it to you."

"." Pei Ye glanced at the girl next to her, who was pressing her lips together to hold back a smile.He had never ridden a horse since he entered the city. It was unclear where this funny talk came from. He did not expect that Zhang Junxue would chew on him behind his back. "The third thing is some common things, 100 taels of silver."

"!"

"The fourth one is specially prepared for you." The old man said this, smiled proudly, stood up, and took out a rather large package from the cabinet behind him.

It was placed on the table with a "snap".

The old man put his hand on it and looked at him with joy: "You know, Mr. Pei, the Jade Fei inheritance is not without sword theory. It's just that one by one of these children, they are all impatient to read deeply. You must know that to learn swordsmanship, you must learn theory. That's the right way - Qingqing said you like reading, I'm so happy, I finally met a rare and compatible person!"

"."

"This is a sword theory book passed down by Yu Fei over the years. I have taken a copy of each. You can take it and read it for details. If you get anything, be sure to remember to communicate with me." Li Weiru said with a smile.

The old man unwrapped the package, and a dozen books, new or old, thin or thick, were piled in front of Pei Ye.

"." The girl next to her was already lying on the table with a trembling smile. Pei Ye looked at the old man's expectant eyes and squeezed out a joyful and sincere smile, "Ah, this is really great."

"I read the swordsmanship book "Cicada Sword", and it's exactly what you guessed." After tea, the two of them stood in front of the window, with willow branches dancing in the wind, and the crystal rain under the moon flashed away, and the old man slowly Xu said, "The cicada part should undoubtedly be the lineage that was lost back then, and the bird part is the imitation of "Yellow Jade"."

"There is no need to mention the reason back then, some things about the mountain gate and the wall." Li Weiru tilted his head and looked at the young man, "Now that you want to learn this "Jade Fei Sword", I have to entrust you with a few words to prevent you from getting confused. "

Pei Ye nodded seriously.

"The Jade Collection is the best sword in Bowangzhou now." The old man still had the same low-pitched and gentle voice, but as soon as he spoke it was clear that he had a commanding position. He had been sitting at the top of the world for decades, and after going through ups and downs, this land had indeed long been cleared. clearly reflected in these eyes.

"'Jade Collection' has three chapters: 'Biguang', 'Jade Shadow', and 'Yellow Jade', and 'Yellow Jade' is the essence at the top of "Jade Collection"; similarly, the inheritance of Cicada Vein is called "The Book of Yu Qiong" also has three chapters: "Green Stone", "Bai Xie" and "Feng Yao". Now the first two chapters have been lost, and the set of cicadas you have learned is exactly "Feng Yao". "

"Two hundred years ago, when the disciples of the two branches of Yu Fei practiced the first two chapters separately, those who learned the third chapter of their respective sword lines could go to practice in the other line. And the entire Yu Fei line The highest achievement of the inheritance is to integrate the two chapters of "Yellow Jade" and "Feng Yao" and complement each other to become a first-class sword in the world - that is, the "Cicada Sword" in your hand."

"." Pei Ye nodded slowly.

"Of course, this book on swordsmanship is superficial and has no true meaning, so it doesn't count." The old man said slowly, "Moreover, the highest inheritance of Yu Fei at that time was not called this simple and stupid name. The two articles were combined. The sword is called "Feiyuxian"."

"."

"The above is the origin of this sword technique. Then, I have to tell you something about the practice." Li Weiru said, "First of all, for those with high talent, the first two chapters are just the third chapter on practice. Path, since you have directly learned 'Feng Yao', there is no need to read the first two chapters, and the same is true for "Yellow Jade"."

Pei Ye nodded, which indeed answered a doubt in his mind.

"Secondly, although I have never learned it, there are two major thresholds that must be met to truly learn "Feiyuxian"."

"May I ask? What is it?"

Li Minqing shouted from behind: "You can say, 'I would like to hear the details'."

".Appreciate further details."

Li Weiru glanced at the two of them with a smile, then turned around and said, "It's 'learning' and 'integration'."

".Oh."

"The first step is to learn both 'Feng Yao' and 'Huang Jade', but this is not the end of this swordsmanship - do you think, why these two articles are compiled into one book and become a "Fei Yu" Where is "Immortal"?" The old man looked at him and said, "It's because the two can be integrated into one, and this is the true upper limit of Jade Feishan's swordsmanship."

".Maximum limit?"

"Yes, do you know what the four levels of swordsmanship are?" Li Weiru said with a smile.

Pei Ye smiled, he really understood this question: "The realm of swordsmanship depends on the realm of the swordsman, which is clumsiness, mind, heart, and Tao."

However, after saying this, the room became quiet for a moment.

The old man looked at him silently.

"Isn't it wrong?" Pei Ye hesitated.However, he was quite confident about this answer: "If you think it's wrong, you must be wrong" because this is the knowledge taught by Miss Ming.

"That's true, but," Li Weiru stroked his beard and smiled gently, "What I want to say here is the classification of us 'mortals'."

"Where-?"

"It's 'Zhuo'." Li Weiru said with a smile, "The sword is practiced by swordsmen in the Zhuo and Ling realms. We divide it into four levels: 'Guan', 'Mountain', 'Main' and 'Chao'."

"." Miss Ming summed up all these things with the word "clumsy".

"The gap between the swords of the Clumsy Realm is so big that sometimes it is like clouds and mud. However, because they are all in the Clumsy Realm in essence, it is impossible to find clear boundaries from the swords themselves. Therefore, these are four standards based on external evaluation. So in fact This classification is applicable to all martial arts." Li Weiru said with a smile, "The boundaries between them are also not precise enough, but it can indeed roughly classify a clumsy sword into the appropriate position."

"Appreciate further details."

"As the name suggests, 'Guan' refers to the sword passed down by the Guan. No matter what the name is, whether it is a martial arts academy or a bodyguard bureau, or even a gang or a sect, as long as the mountain has not been established, most of the martial arts taught by it are at this level. Therefore, at this level, In turn, it has become a standard of martial arts." Li Weiru said, "Similarly, the sword passed down from the mountain is passed down from a mountain gate. No matter how remote and weak it is - such as Baizhu Pavilion - as long as it can establish a sect and establish a At the gate of Qishanmen, most of the swords have gained something and can withstand the test. This is the second level."

"The pulse is the martial arts of each sect. The sword passed down by the pulse does not die with the mountain gate, but goes beyond the mountain gate. After losing the mountain and building the mountain, changing the family and the family, for 80 years, if the sword is there, the pulse will be there. This is The third level.”

"."Yellow Jade" and "Feng Yao" are the swords of the pulse?"

"That's right, and in terms of inheritance, it's pretty good." The old man smiled and nodded, "As for the word Chao, it is interpreted as a dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, many swordsmanship passed down from previous generations were all Xingshuang The red gold that has never been submerged by repeated changes, and has never lost its color after hundreds of years of washing. If the quality of a sword can be comparable to these swordsmanship, it would be the 'Sword of Chao Chuan'."

".Then, "Feiyuxian"."

"It's a genuine 'Chao Chuan'."

"However." Li Weiru hesitated and said slowly, "The upper limit of this sword may be higher."

"Higher? That's not it."

"I'm not sure about this. After all, it happened 200 years ago, but since you want to learn this sword, I have to tell you." Li Weiru said slowly, "The fusion of the last style of the two chapters, maybe, can To express the category of 'meaning'."

"."

"I know that Yi Jian is something too lofty and difficult to reach for Bowang. A piece of "Yellow Jade" can undisputedly rank first here. It is indeed a bit far-fetched to think about Yi Jian. Tan." Li Weiru sighed softly and looked at the young man, "But, Pei Shaoxia, I have read almost all the classics about Jade Fei Mountain - a sect that spans thirteen states. No one has shaken it for 200 years. I think, once The sword of Menchaozhuan is not enough to support it."

Pei Ye nodded slowly.

"Of course, this is all too far away. In my body, I don't know if I can learn this 'Feng Yao', let alone pursue the answer." Li Weiru smiled and looked at the moon quietly. Zhuoyue Lake under the rain, "Pei Shaoxia, if one day you can reach that level, don't forget to send me a letter."

Pei Ye nodded seriously.

The old man smiled and said in a low voice: "You can burn it for me."
-
By the Zhuyue Lake, there is a waterside pavilion.

The rain pattered, tapping on the wooden boards.

Shang Huaitong put away his umbrella and opened the door. It was dark inside as usual.

He lit the candle and heard the master's voice from across the wall: "The head of the Zhang family has agreed. Lord Sui will arrive in Bowang tomorrow evening."

"Yeah." He nodded casually without pausing.

"I paid compensation to that person today."

"Ah."

There seemed to be a faint sigh coming from the partition wall.

After closing the door, the sound of night rain could be heard outside. Under the candlelight, six grasses stood in the box. Shang Huaitong stepped forward and pulled out one more grass.Then he stood in front of the box, slowly inserted his fingers into the soil with one hand, held the sword in the other hand, and stood quietly with his eyes closed.

For a long time, the corner of his mouth curled up, and the smooth feeling from the sword made the man's aura become terrifyingly thick and sharp for a moment. Unfortunately, this was not a ring, and no one could see it. It was withdrawn after a moment.

"The second one," Shang Huaitong murmured softly, and then smiled faintly, "Maybe there is no need to go to the last one."

He was in a good mood, held up the candle and walked to the bed, leaned on the bedside, and took out an ink-colored book from his chest.

The pages of the book are old and strong. I don’t know how long it has passed, but the ink color on the cover has still not faded. Moreover, it is not an ordinary paint, but a faint light that seems to have a deep charm. It is more like a strange antique than a book.

But when the man opened it, he could see that it was not without damage - the back was completely black, which was clearly the mark of being burned, as well as old marks such as sharp blade punctures. The intact front half and full The second half of the story is in sharp contrast.

——This book was clearly cut off, and now it was put back together by the man, but the missing pages in the middle could never be found again.

Shang Huaitong leaned on the bed.

He couldn't remember how many times he had read this Sword Book, nor did he know how many times he would read it again. He held the scroll immersedly and quietly, and the familiar words brought him into the familiar world for the countless times. In this misty realm, those mysteries seem to be forever out of reach, yet they seem to be right before our eyes.

This was always the most focused and obsessed moment in his life. Such a sublime pursuit allowed him to place all his pride and meaning in life.

But this time, the real power is really within reach.

After more than ten years of hard work, there is only a mist in front of him, and he has grasped the strong wind that can blow it away.

After a long time, Shang Huaitong put down the book and looked up quietly, his eyes seeming to penetrate the roof and reach the sky where he was about to reach.Fluttering wings emerge from the forest to the sky.

He closed his eyes and tapped the bed board gently, murmuring softly.

"Don't mention the grass and trees, I am all mine; the spirit is faint, and the life is fire."

"I am all me. I am all me"

The light and shadow of the candle flickered in the wind and rain, passing over the five ancient official characters on the cover of the book.

Immortal in the faint earth.
