Chapter 585 The Holy Maiden invites, the younger sister mocks
The water flow in Yi is slow and the dusk is not too late.
The vast swath of sky light turned from red to pale and spread across the Western Mountains, still illuminating the Sifangtai, the Grand Campus, and even the Xiangshan Temple on the mountainside clearly.
The two people fighting on the square platform seemed to be frozen at this moment. A pair of thin shadows were slender and straight, extending faintly to the side of the trestle. If the evening breeze hadn't brought up the hem of the robes and made a flapping sound, both of them would have changed.
Clay sculptures of puppets.
Dugu Yue slowly opened his arms and raised them above his head, indicating that he had no intention of counterattack. There was no fear in his words, but instead revealed uncontrollable excitement and surprise:
"Yang Shaoxia! This trace of Pei Min's Sword Intent of yours is the true inheritance of the Sword Master! But I don't know how to realize it? Isn't the "Five Saints and Thousand Officials Picture" a mural in the "Purple Qi from the East" palace in Taiwei Palace? There is actually one
Such an opportunity...I'm sorry! I lost my composure for a moment and forgot about business. I, Duguyue, lost this competition! I hope that Young Master Yang can come to my Dugu Villa as a guest when he is free in the future and give some advice to the younger members of the clan!
"
Although Yang Chaoxi defeated Dugu Yue, there was no trace of arrogance on his face. Seeing his sincere eyes and humble words, he slowly dropped the long sword in his hand, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Dugu is ridiculous! The sword master is still powerful, and he is still the leader in the world.
Save, this is enough to comfort General Pei!
My brother was thwarted with just one move, but it was just because of the head in his hand, which was no match for the sharpness of my Shadow Bearing Sword. It is not the swordsmanship of the clan, it is better to use a clever sword move on a whim the next day. If it happens today, there is still life.
You should come to your door and make trouble!"
However, Duguyue seemed to be hesitant to speak. After hesitating again and again, he couldn't help but ask: "I'm sorry for being so abrupt, but what does Yang Shaoxia think of 'Pei Min's Sword Intent'? I've been practicing swordsmanship for half my life. If I get a little advice, it will be better than a few years."
You must be grateful for your hard work..."
Yang Chaoxi turned around to leave, but after listening to his earnest words, he pondered for a moment before speaking seriously:
"My fathers were all trained in mountain and rural regiments. They once followed General Li Guangbi to defend the city and kill thieves on the battlefield. Such experiences of life and death, with rivers of blood, are definitely not what you can imagine in the Gaomen Courtyard.
The so-called brave man is invincible, and the wise man has no fear! I secretly believe that General Pei’s sword-wielding power is the courage and confidence that came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood——
The intention is to move forward, the sword dances and spreads! The blade follows the finger, soaring like a wing! Swing and shout vertically and horizontally, exchanging light left and right! The tiger roars and the dragon roars, the sword energy is passionate!"
Hearing this, Dugu Yue was convinced and stood there for a long time, as if he had some realization. When he raised his head again, Yang Chaoxi had already walked out of the Sifang Platform and returned to the crowd of knights.
Although Zen Master Lingzhen looked reluctant, he still cleared his throat and announced the winner.
The crescent moon rises in the east and fills the sky with green.
A few sparse stars were already flashing around the moon, like naughty and peeping children.
General Qin Yanxiao, one of the "Double Eagles of Nanya" who was guarding Yuan Zai, suddenly led two heroic guards and rushed to Zen Master Lingzhen. He whispered a few words,
Zen Master Lingzhen nodded repeatedly.
Just as the drums were beating in the bellies of all the knights and the noise arose again, Zen Master Lingzhen turned around, still clasping his hands together and said: "Amitabha! Dear heroes, the Prime Minister has ordered that the martial arts conference be suspended for half a stick of incense. Can you all
Let’s take a short rest so that I can set fire to Xiangshan Temple and carry lamps for lighting purposes.”
After hearing this, all the knights stood up one after another, shook their heads, twisted their necks, stretched their waists and relaxed their backs. Immediately, they walked in groups outside the campus, preparing to drink some iced drinks to relieve the heat, and then buy some cakes, wine, and berries.
Among the thirteen honorable seats seated under the Changxuan, apart from Yuan Zai, Ge Shu Yao, Xiao Jing and other members of the public family, the monks who knew the guests brought fruit cakes and refreshments and served them attentively. The others also left their seats one after another.
Gather together with fellow disciples and share dry food, or find a tea shed and wine cellar, drink and peck at will... Yang Zhaoxi naturally traveled with Fang Qidou, Xiao Zhan and others.
A few dozen steps out of the school grounds, you can see wooden shacks on both sides of the winding and rugged mountain road. There are many tents selling tea and wine, and driving cars and wine! After a brief look, you can see that it is bustling with people, just like a market town.
.
Fang Qidou's sharp eyes first saw the two characters "Crane Shang" embroidered on the flag wave gently dancing in the wind on the right. He immediately became greedy, moved his index finger, and hurriedly directed Yang Chaoxi and others with a smile.
: “It’s a good place to have good food and wine over there! Let’s walk faster and don’t let others grab all the seats!”
Xiao Zhan, Pugu Xingde, Shang Sizuo and others followed the sound, and they all understood it, with smiles in their eyes. At that moment, they couldn't help but hurry up and run towards the wine bar with the word "Crane Shang" floating on it.
go.
Yang walked around for several days, and spent two days and three nights locked in the dark stone room. He had not had any wine for a long time. Therefore, his pace was not slow, and he quickly ran ahead.
The few people walked quickly, talking and laughing, and they were relaxed and free-spirited, which made many knights with a slightly higher rank look envious and sigh, "youth is still in its prime, but time is not forgiving, and the teeth are shaken."
"Master Yang, stay!"
At this moment, a sweet voice came softly, and everyone who heard it was stunned. Immediately, they saw a clear figure, with steps like lotus, and immediately walked around in front of Yang Chaoxi, and bowed Yingying.
Pugu Xingde, Shang Sizuo, and Liao Haiqian could not help but feel agitated when they saw this woman wrapped in plain clothes, with hidden curves, tall stature, and deep eyes. However, staring straight at this woman, they finally felt
It was inappropriate, so they all turned their gazes to Yang Chaoxi with doubts in their eyes.
When Fang Qidou and Xiao Zhan saw this woman, they couldn't help but look at each other with complicated eyes. Although they were covered with a scarf, they still recognized the identity of this woman. She was the Zoroastrian saint Shaila Worthy, Han
His name was Li Xiaoman. That day at the foot of Paoma Ridge, in the Zoroastrian boat, both of them had seen the saint's face. At that time, they were astonished to the heavens. So when they saw each other again, they felt much calmer.
When Yang Zhaoxi saw it was her, he was immediately at a loss and almost worshiped her with the sacred fire. Fortunately, when he brought his hands to his chest, he suddenly changed his mind, cupped his fists and saluted, "Little barbarian girl called me, do you have any advice?"
Xiaoman chuckled, fiddled with a pair of catkins and said, "Why are you so serious? Mr. Yang, if Xiaoman doesn't have any guidance, can't I call you? There is tea and iced drinks for sale over there. I wonder if you can please tell me?"
Pugu Xingde, Shang Sizuo, and Liao Haiqian were stunned when they heard this, and felt sour in their hearts.
Yang Zhaoxi looked around, waiting for a polite refusal. Unexpectedly, Fang Qidou and Xiao Zhan patted him on both shoulders, and then pushed him out with force. Then they pulled him unreasonably and wanted to see the excitement.
The servant, who had three solid virtues, turned around and walked away.
Yang Zhaoxi staggered and almost fell on Xiao Man. Several Lily Guards beside him rarely drew their swords at each other, and they all covered their mouths and chuckled.
Yang Chaoxi scratched her head, her cheeks were slightly warm, and she quickly replied: "It's such an honor for Xiaodao, please go first, Miss Xiaoman."
The two walked to a tea shed, found a secluded place, and sat cross-legged opposite each other. The Lily Guards who accompanied them also gathered together and sat around, drinking tea and keeping watch.
Xiao Man was quite familiar with it. He waved to the waiter and ordered two cups of Shouzhou yellow buds, a plate of bean paste and flower glutinous rice cakes, a plate of peach kernel glutinous rice cakes, and two bowls of black plum drink. Then he raised his hat with both hands, his beautiful black eyes were huge,
Staring at him without blinking, but saying nothing.
Yang Zhaoxi felt weak when she looked at her. She couldn't help but touch her nose and took the lead in speaking:
"Since you went back that day, the trail has encountered several twists and turns, so I never went to look for you... Are you okay?" Xiaoman straightened up, his cheeks turned red, and smiled sweetly: "Xiaoman didn't
I don’t blame the young master! The young master is willing to treat me like that... Xiaoman is already satisfied and has no regrets! I will be a saint for the rest of my life, and there is no regrets... The fight with Dugu Yue just now was really dangerous, and Xiaoman was very nervous.
It’s terrible, I was worried that the young master would make a mistake, wouldn’t Xiaoman have to... Fortunately, the young master is so superior that he made Dugu Yue surrender, which is really satisfying!”
Knowing her sincere concern, Yang Chaoxi suddenly felt warm in his heart. He patted his chest and said with a smile, "Xiao Dao is trying to compete for the 'Sword Like Water' man. How could he be defeated by these ordinary people? Little barbarian girl, please relax.
My heart, if I don’t hold on until the end, how can I lose easily?”
Xiaoman knew that he had deliberately praised Haikou because he didn't want her to be too worried about her, so he felt sweet in his heart. Just as he was waiting to reply with a few words of kindness, he heard a female voice beside him teasingly:
"That's not necessarily the case! Regardless, if in the next round of drawing lots, by chance, she happens to be matched with this timid and shy beautiful lady, given Mr. Yang's pity for beauty, how can he be willing to do so?
Can you defeat her by hand?"
Yang Zhaoxi, when Xiaoman heard the words, he quickly turned his head and looked around: he saw a young man with smooth skin and a white face, standing handsomely beside the table. He also held a carved wooden tray in his hand, with two plates lined up on it.
cake.
"Junior Sister Qin (Girl Qin)?!" Yang Zhaoxi and Xiaoman said in unison.
Xiaoman suddenly felt something strange: he must have been having a conversation with Young Master Yang just now, and this girl must have overheard it. Then he couldn't help but jump out and sarcastically mocked Young Master Yang.
At this point, he immediately shut up and said nothing, but his face had already turned red to the base of his neck.
Yang Chaoxi's cheeks turned red, and she said calmly: "When I first came here, senior brother met with Taoist Priest Yuan Yizi... and a group of fellow apprentices, but Junior Sister Tan was not among them. I also said that there was something going on in Junior Sister Tan's house.
You’ve never come here...but why are you hiding here and becoming a waiter serving tea and water?”
Yue Xizi Tan Qing was obviously still jealous, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "Of course I saw Senior Brother Yang having an intimate and lewd conversation with the girl next to me, and they didn't want to ruin Senior Brother's good deeds, so I came here to hide in peace.
"
After Yang Zhaoxi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He immediately remembered the incident where the "iron-bone" Zeng Xiaoli was frightened by the shaman Guo Minshan Yan'alin's "U-turn Magic" and hung around his neck. I'm afraid
Not only was it seen by Qin Qing outside the campus, but also Xiao Man, who was sitting motionless under the company commander's pavilion, had also taken a long look.
Sure enough! Not only Qin Qing put her hands on her hips and looked bulging with anger. Even Xiaoman also narrowed his eyes, folded his arms and snorted: "Young Master Yang is indeed cold and unscrupulous, even that plump woman,
I want to put it in my pocket..."
Yang Chaoxi only felt that he was wronged and in vain, and he couldn't argue with him!
Just as he was about to cry out to the two girls, he raised his head and saw Tan Qingying's lips shrunk, two strings of bean-sized tears falling down, and she said in a crying voice:
"It was in vain that Senior Sister Cui was so infatuated and worked so hard... to escape from the prison of Cui Mansion, and then hid in the monastery to become a sister-in-law... I don't know when she would dare to show up. She has such a strong temper, but she is willing to endure a lot of hardships.
, suffered hundreds of serious crimes, just because I still miss you, Brother Chong Lingzi Yang, in my heart!
Who would have thought that you would not only look towards Qin and Muchu, but also have half-hearted thoughts, and you would actually sit here, having tea and chatting with sister Xiaoman. You are really cold-natured and heartless! Qing'er... Qing'er really misjudged you!!
Ying Ying Ying..."
When Yang Chaoxi heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
