Volume 1 The Empire in the Morning Chapter 167 The brothers and sisters here (Part 2)
Volume One: The Empire in the Morning, Chapter 167: Brothers and Sisters Here (Part 2)
There is a stove inside the house and a waterwheel outside. White steam is filling the air both inside and outside the house. The water falling on the red iron makes a sizzling sound, and the hammer falling off the red iron makes a banging sound. Ning Que and Chen Pipi are honest
Shi Shi stood outside the threshold, watching the naked strong man playing with the fire and the iron as delicately but roughly as he treated his beloved.
After a long time, the noisy sound in the room finally stopped. The strong man took off the leather apron on his chest, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat on his face casually. He walked to the door, said with a simple smile: "I am your six."
Senior brother."
Chen Pipi smiled at Ning Que and said: "The armor and weapons made by Sixth Senior Brother are unparalleled in the world. The armor that General Xu Shi is wearing now was made by Sixth Senior Brother himself. If you have any needs in this regard in the future, you can come directly to Senior Brother
"Teng. Senior brother is the most kind and kind person. Although he doesn't like to talk much, he will definitely do what he promised you."
During the previous period, Ning Que had been staring at Senior Brother Six as he swung the hammer and struck iron. He vaguely sensed something very interesting from his rhythmic and powerful movements. At this time, listening to Chen Pipi's introduction, he thought about what was hidden in him.
The three knives in Alley 47 were still those feather arrows. His eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed: "Senior Brother Sixth is a master of Fu Dao?"
"If I want to divide my skills, I should count myself as practicing martial arts, but I don't have time in this life to learn how to fight, so I just want to learn how to blacksmith."
The sixth senior brother replied honestly: "Little junior brother, I know what you want to ask. The armor and weapons I made do have runes on them, but I have nothing to do with them. It is the handiwork of the fourth senior brother."
"Fourth senior brother?" Ning Que asked in surprise.
Senior Brother Six looked at the dark corner of the house and said with a smile, "That's him."
Only then did Ning Que notice that there was a small sand table in a dark corner. Next to the sand table sat a man wearing a green college spring uniform. The temperature in the room was extremely high, but there was not a drop of sweat on the man's body. He was even hot.
He didn't feel a trace, he just focused and calmly looked at the small sand table in front of him. He was like a part of the house, and it was easy to escape the gaze. If you closed your eyes, you wouldn't even feel that he was sitting there.
With.
"Fourth senior brother is practicing the Pure Light Talisman recently."
Chen Pipi explained to him: "He wanted to make the runes and the steel that make up the weapons fit closer together until they finally merge into one."
The fourth senior brother sitting in the dark corner raised his head, ignored Ning Que and Chen Pipi, and said directly to the naked man: "There is no problem with the three-star pattern being used to increase the frontal impact resistance, but the tearing force on the side
What should we do? If a warrior spreads the vitality of heaven and earth on the surface of his body, it will be a bit difficult to activate the runes on his armor."
Senior Brother Six walked over there, with Ning Que and Chen Pipi following behind him.
Three seemingly simple lines were drawn on the sand table. These lines were not completely straight. Several extremely smooth semi-circular arcs were drawn at the intersection of the lines. It looked like a thread holding a few drops touching one place.
Drops of water that are about to merge but have not yet completely merged.
Listening to the discussion between the two senior brothers, Ning Que knew that they wanted to modify the runes on the armor to improve defense capabilities. This was the first time he saw the use of runes in reality, and he couldn't help but feel impressed.
curious.
"I don't understand the Tao of Talismans, and I don't know the purpose of these patterns, but I always feel that these semicircles are too smooth, or... too perfect." Senior Brother Six scratched his head and said honestly: "I just feel like they are too perfect.
I’m sure I can’t help but fight.”
The Fourth Brother was silent for a long time and then said: "You have been blacksmithing all your life, and you are more familiar with things like strength than I am. Although I don't know why, I believe in your intuition. These semicircles are indeed perfect."
Ning Que felt slightly nervous and stared at the sand table made of fine white sand, wanting to see what changes the fourth senior brother was going to make.
No one used a wooden pen to draw pictures, but the fine white sand grains on the sand table were miraculously rolling rapidly. The lines on it seemed to be held by an invisible hand, changing shapes in the sand table, and the progress was unknown in a moment.
How many combinations.
Ning Que stared at the lines on the sand table, his eyes flashing rapidly with the changes in those lines. His thinking gradually couldn't keep up with the extremely complicated combination changes. He only felt a slight irritation and pain in his mind, and a feeling of nausea in his chest and abdomen.
…
…
After walking out of the house and walking to the waterwheel, he took a handful of cold water and washed his face. Ning Que felt better. He looked at Chen Pipi with lingering fear and said, "I didn't expect that just a few fragments of runes could be so difficult."
Understand."
"It is precisely because it is a fragment that it can easily cause mental fluctuations, not to mention that you overestimate your ability to see so many changes clearly."
Chen Pipi filled a bamboo tube with a tube of water and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said mockingly: "What's more, the furnace in Sixth Brother's room stays on all year round and is used to refine various kinds of fine steel. He doesn't know how to fight, but
Your martial arts cultivation is extremely advanced, so you will be fine if you stay in there all the time. How can a guy like you not pass out from the heat?"
Ning Que was laughed at by him, but he didn't feel dissatisfied. Thinking about the senior brothers and sisters he saw in the back hill of the academy today, these seemingly crazy but obviously extremely magical scenes, he felt very excited.
"The fifth and eighth senior brothers went to play chess. Before the two of them entered the mountain, one was a master of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the other was a palace chess master of the Yuelun Kingdom. They fought more than ten times but could not tell the winner. Later, after they entered the mountain, they became masters.
Brothers, I have not forgotten the grudges and hatreds of the past. Whenever I have nothing to do, I will hold the chessboard and sit under the chessboard on the mountain for a few days."
Chen Pipi thought about the two senior brothers and said angrily: "How can someone who plays chess so much that he often forgets to eat remember that today is the day you started? If I hadn't been searching for them all over the mountains and fields over the years,
When they go to eat, I really doubt they will vomit blood on the chessboard and then die of cold and hunger, becoming two elegant ghosts of Panasonic."
Ning Que couldn't help but be speechless as he listened to this narration, thinking that the back of the academy was really full of strange people, and he didn't know why the Master accepted these people as students.
"Third Senior Sister, you are familiar with me."
Chen Pipi continued: "She should still be copying small regular script in Jiuli at this time. If you want to see her, you can meet her anytime. Don't ask me why she copies small regular script by the east window every day. I only know that it was given to her by the teacher.
Coursework.”
Recalling the number of people he saw on the top of the cliff that night, Ning Que silently counted them and said to Chen Pipi: "Eldest brother followed the master to travel around the country. There should be two senior brothers I haven't seen yet."
"You haven't met the second senior brother yet. As for the remaining one, he is not a senior brother. The seniority of that old gentleman is a bit strange. He only holds books and reads every day and doesn't talk to anyone much. The senior brothers and sisters don't like him very much.
Pay attention to him."
Chen Pipi led him towards the waterfall behind Yaping and warned: "I'm going to take you to meet the second senior brother. You have to pay attention to your etiquette. Although the senior brothers and sisters in front of me behave a little strangely,
, but people are all very kind-hearted people. The second senior brother is serious and upright, and he uprightly asks others to correct him. If you make any mistakes, be careful to get punished."
Ning Que's heart trembled when he heard this, and he asked nervously: "Then what attitude should I use to face the second senior brother?"
Chen Pipi looked back at him and said mockingly: "You are always very good at showing off, just like the gesture you just faced with your senior brothers and sisters. I never thought that Ning Que, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be so good at acting like that.
.”
Ning Que mocked back and said: "Those who are aware of current affairs are heroes, and those who are not aware of current affairs are idiots."
Chen Pipi looked at him and sighed, and said: "Aside from being serious and upright, the second senior brother's biggest characteristic is pride, and he hates others being more proud than him in front of him, so... please forgive me."
"With your usual arrogant attitude, I think you have been taught a lesson by the second senior brother in these years." Ning Que looked at his chubby face and said mockingly: "As for me, you don't need to worry. In front of the second senior brother, I will definitely be
He is the most humble person in the world.”
"It's late." Chen Pipi looked at him with a half-smile, and said: "The math question you gave me last year ended up causing the second senior brother to stay in seclusion for half a month. Do you think you can be proud of him?
Forgot about this?"
…
…
Facts have proved that Chen Pipi's threats were all paper tigers - after walking to the small courtyard not far from the Silver Stream Waterfall and finally seeing the legendary second senior brother, Ning Que discovered that the second senior brother was definitely not the person he was looking for.
As a person with a clear vision, he even feels that the tone of the other person's speech is very gentle and kind, without any hint of arrogance or arrogance?
Standing on the stone steps, the second senior brother looked at the two of them calmly and asked calmly: "Ning Que, junior brother, he... I'm sorry, I shouldn't call you junior brother now... Twelve, he took you around the back mountain.
, how do you feel?”
"All the brothers and sisters have devoted themselves to cultivation, and it is really mine..." Ning Que responded respectfully.
However, before he could finish his words, the second senior brother raised his hand to stop him forcefully and said in a cold voice: "Those guys know how to make birds, feed fish, play piano and play chess every day. How can they be concentrating on their cultivation? The fourth brother is obviously in the Tao of Talisman.
Shangji has great potential, but I don’t know what is missing in his head. He was tricked by Lao Liu into working as a blacksmith shop boy! Teacher Renai didn’t want to pay attention to it. If not, I would have punished them several times, like this
If you still say that someone is your role model, it is really unwise."
Ning Que didn't know how to answer this statement at all.
The second senior brother suddenly asked with a deep voice: "What are you looking at?
When he first saw the waterfall, Ning Que set the tone for the conversation and made a lot of mental preparations. He was determined to act like a shy quail in front of his second senior brother. During the conversation, he must not raise his head or look directly at the other person rudely.
His eyes were wide open, but the ancient crown that stood high on top of the second senior brother's head and looked like a laundry stick was really... too eye-catching.
As for the ancient crown on the head of the second senior brother, it would be difficult for anyone to take one look away. Ning Que always felt like he was talking to a stick. This weird feeling was difficult for even him to let go of.
The expression on his face remained calm.
Compared with this tall ancient crown like a stick, the second senior brother's appearance is much more normal, but he also has his own characteristics.
The second senior brother has straight eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin lips. He cannot be said to be handsome, but there is nothing wrong with him. His black hair is neatly combed and hangs meticulously behind his back, neither leaning to the left nor to the right. As for
His two eyebrows are exactly the same and symmetrical. It even gives people the impression that the number of eyebrows on both sides is exactly the same. The same is true for his calm and energetic eyes. There is nothing wrong with him. His whole person gives people a feeling that cannot be praised but cannot be faulted.
The helpless feeling of something wrong.
This feeling of helplessness will probably be felt by everyone who sees the second senior brother. Because of this feeling, Ning Que's mind wandered slightly, and he suddenly heard this question. He couldn't help being frightened, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother
, Junior brother is looking at your crown and hat."
The second senior brother looked at him quietly and said, "Why do you want to look?"
The expression on Ning Que's face was extremely natural, and his answer was very natural: "Because it looks good."
The second senior brother was slightly startled. Chen Pipi, who had been playing the role of Quail perfectly, had a stiff expression and cursed countless times in his heart, thinking that after knowing this guy for a year, he still hadn't fully seen how shameless and despicable this person was.
Reached this level.
No matter how natural the flattery is, sometimes it will make the person receiving the flattery feel a little embarrassed, and shame will make it easy to get angry. What's more, the person he is facing today is the second senior fellow in the academy. At this important moment, Ning Que will never let the other person have it.
There was no chance for him to react, think about it, and wake up. He randomly selected something from his mind and asked doubtfully: "Second senior brother, on my way back to Beijing from the grassland with Princess Li Yu last year, I once met a Dongxuan realm man at the entrance of Minshan North Mountain.
The great swordsman, some say he is an abandoned disciple on the second floor of the academy..."
"How can it be so easy to enter the back mountain of the academy? Now that you are in, how can you get out so easily?"
The second senior brother said: "Wealth has distant relatives in the mountains. There are many stupid people in the world who always want to have some relationship with the academy to reaffirm their identity. I don't know how many second-floor abandoned disciples will emerge every year. Could it be that every time they appear, I
Is the academy going to announce that there is no such person in the world?"
"I'm just worried that these people with high status will ruin the reputation of the academy." What Ning Que said was his true thoughts.
The second senior brother mocked and said: "Those who know will naturally know. As for those who are not qualified to know, no matter what their thoughts are and what qualifications they have to affect the reputation of our academy, you should not pay attention to such things in the future."
Listening to these words, Ning Que thought with emotion in his heart. He finally felt the pride of his second senior brother. It was indeed a very fierce pride.
With thoughts in his mind and vision in his eyes, the second senior brother noticed the meaning in his eyes, thinking that this new junior junior brother was shocked by what he saw and heard today, and was a little confused. He calmly said with relief: "The mountain behind the academy,
In other words, the second floor is actually not as mysterious as the world spreads. This is where the dean teaches students, it’s as simple as that.”
…
…
"Do you feel helpless?"
"yes."
"Do you think that Second Senior Brother is really boring and does everything in a rigid manner?"
"yes."
"Do you think his crown and hat look like a mallet?"
"After looking at it for a long time, sometimes I suddenly feel that the crown and hat look like a folded paper toy."
"No matter what it looks like, don't you have the urge to break it or squash it?"
"..."
After leaving the small courtyard, the sound of the waterfall falling from the cliff into the pool was no longer heard. After confirming that the second senior brother would not eavesdrop on his conversation, the two youngest guys at the back of the academy began to talk.
Chen Pipi rubbed her cheeks that were numb due to her serious expression before, looked at Ning Que and asked, "Tell me."
Ning Que was silent for a moment and replied honestly: "It does feel that way."
Chen Pipi looked at him solemnly and said, "It's not just you, all of us have it. Senior Brother Six has even tried it several times."
Ning Que opened his mouth slightly, looked at the fat boy's face, and said hesitantly: "...I don't know how to continue."
Chen Pipi shook his head and said: "I will not be stupid enough to trick you into smashing the second senior brother's hat. In fact, after seeing your performance today, I firmly believe that in the future, it is very likely that you will come up with some underhanded tricks to trick me into doing this satisfying thing.
thing."
Ning Que smiled and suddenly said: "I think it's good for the second senior brother to be proud. At least this way he looks like a human being."
"I will not take your words as evidence to blackmail you."
Chen Pipi's expression and what he said obviously meant two different things. He patted Ning Que's shoulder sympathetically and said, "In fact, we all feel the same about this, especially after the second senior brother raised a goose the year before last.
"
Ning Que asked in surprise: "Goose?"
Chen Pipi said with a smile: "We have always believed that the reason why the second senior brother raised that goose was because the goose was very proud. He felt that he had finally found his own kind. In this case, of course he must raise it well."
Ning Que was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Too mean, too vicious."
Chen Pipi smiled and said: "Don't believe it, you will know why we said this when you see the goose later."
While talking, they came to a gentle slope with wild flowers blooming in the green meadow. The two chose a clean spot among the flowers and sat down. Below the slope was a gently flowing stream. It seemed that the momentum should come from the cliff.
Looking at the waterfall, it seems that after flowing out of the cliff, a new waterfall will form, but I don't know where it will fall.
The spring breeze mixed with the warm sun, gently blowing on the faces of the two young people. They were lying on the meadow among the wild flowers, with their hands behind their heads, looking at the beautiful scenery with their eyes open, looking extremely comfortable.
Ning Que looked at the stream down the slope and said: "In the academy...I mean in the academy below, I occasionally look up at the mountains, but I have never seen a waterfall, and I have never thought about it.
The depths of the mountains are so beautiful.”
Chen Pipi squinted his eyes, looked at the black spots in the sky, and said with a smile: "This mountain is very big, and there are many places I have never been to. I heard from the fourth senior brother that the side of the mountain facing Chang'an City is a vast expanse of land.
The cliff, the waterfall you are concerned about may fall from there. I once took a sneak peek and found that the bottom of the cliff was covered with clouds and mist. I had no idea what was underneath."
"You can take me to see it if you have a chance in the future."
"good."
Ning Que had excellent eyesight. He looked at the fish swimming and competing for food under the stream, thinking about the senior brothers and sisters he saw in the back mountain today, and curiously asked: "Senior brothers and sisters... what state are they in now?"
"Second Senior Brother has known destiny for a long time, but I don't know whether he is in the upper or middle realm of knowing destiny, or whether he has seen that door. Then from Third Senior Sister to Eleventh Senior Brother, they are all in the Dongxuan Realm, upper, middle and lower realms.
No wait.”
This answer was really beyond Ning Que's expectation. He looked at Chen Pipi in surprise and said, "You are all in the realm of knowing fate, why are your senior brothers and sisters still in Dongxuan?"
Chen Pipi glanced at him and said sarcastically: "There is a sequence in learning Taoism, so what's the right time to enter Taoism? Although I started the Taoism the latest, it is not a big deal to know one's fate first. The so-called division of realms are just some fighting methods, and there is no one in the back mountain.
If we really care about this matter, if we really get into a fight, starting from the third senior sister and all the way up to the eleventh senior brother, none of them can beat me."
"Don't forget, I am a peerless spiritual genius."
"How did senior brothers and sisters enter the academy?"
"Of course I was recruited by the Master."
Chen Pipihun didn't notice that he had been influenced too much by his second senior brother over the years, and he started talking nonsense habitually.
Ning Que said helplessly: "I'm asking for serious questions."
"Is my answer very inappropriate?"
Chen Pipi looked at him dully and said: "Who can draw straighter lines than Fourth Senior Brother? Who can embroider better than Seventh Senior Sister, and who can embroider more delicately than Chen Fabu? Who can do it better than Ninth Senior Brother and Tenth Senior Brother?
Playing the piano and flute? Who is better at blacksmithing than Sixth Senior Brother? As for those two lunatics who love to play chess, you can't find a third person in the world who can defeat them on the chessboard."
"Our senior brothers and sisters are all the top people in the world in a certain aspect. Again, in a fight, they may not be able to beat others, but if compared to other aspects, even you and I can't catch up."
Ning Que said seriously: "That's not necessarily true. When it comes to calligraphy, I still have some confidence."
Chen Pipi laughed.
Ning Que also smiled, and suddenly thought of something, and asked in confusion: "Since the senior brothers and sisters were already the top figures in a certain aspect in the world before they entered the mountain, what does the teacher mean by calling them into the academy? They are already
They are invincible in the world. If they continue to practice, they will still be invincible in the world. Who can make them go further in their field?"
Chen Pipi looked at him with a serious expression and said: "I said earlier that no one can defeat the senior brothers and sisters in their field. This sentence actually has a premise, and the existence of one person must be excluded."
"who?"
"Big brother."
Ning Que was silent for a long time before gradually digesting the shock in his heart. He stared into his eyes and said, "You mean... senior brother knows everything and is the strongest person in any field?"
Chen Pipi sighed leisurely: "I only know that the senior brother in the back of the academy has always been responsible for teaching and answering questions."
Ning Que was stunned and speechless, and after a long time he murmured: "How can there be such an all-rounder in the world?"
Chen Pipi looked up at the birds in the blue sky and said with a smile: "Do you feel very shocked? You are very proud, I am very proud, the second senior brother is even more proud, but even the second senior brother has no qualifications to be proud in front of the first senior brother.
The most interesting thing is that if you see the senior brother, you will find that he does not know what pride is."
Ning Que looked at the sky in a daze, and after a long silence, he said: "It turns out that apart from... there are really people who are known to each other."
Chen Pipi didn't notice the pause in his words and said: "There has never been anyone in the world who was born knowing it."
Ning Que mocked and said: "If you don't know it from birth, who can teach someone like Senior Brother?"
Chen Pipi mocked and said: "Idiot, senior brother is the teacher's student, of course he was taught by the teacher."
Ning Que was speechless. He suddenly thought of something. His senior brother's teacher was also his teacher. Only then did he realize that he had become a student of the legendary Confucius. He couldn't help but feel shaken and excited.
He suddenly turned his head, looked at the big fat round face close at hand, and asked, "I have a question."
Chen Pipi responded in confusion: "What's the problem?"
Ning Que said seriously: "I came to the second floor of the academy to practice and study, not to enjoy the scenery. You took me around a lot today, but no one seemed to tell me what I should learn and how.
study."
"First of all, you are currently in the realm of non-confusion, and you can control very little energy of heaven and earth, so there are many things that you cannot learn at all. Secondly, the study in the back mountain is basically self-study. We follow the direction set by the teacher and realize it on our own.
When you study, if you have any problems, go ask your senior brother for advice. Now that the teacher and senior brother have not come back, of course you can only study on your own first."
"Eldest Brother... what state is he in now?"
"No one knows except Master. I even suspect that Senior Brother himself doesn't know."
"Here you go again, you come again."
"I'm telling the truth... because we always feel that Senior Brother has never cared about such things as realm."
"I suddenly thought of a question. If the senior brother really knows everything and is a top figure in all fields, then why don't the fifth senior brother and the eighth senior brother bother him to play chess? According to my knowledge, like
Playing chess and football are games that are most likely to cause violence, but no one cares whether the opponent is a senior brother or not."
Chen Pipi suddenly laughed, thinking of something, he couldn't help but shook his head, and sighed: "That's because Senior Brother has two most wonderful qualities. It is precisely because of these two qualities that no one will
pester him to play chess or do other things."
"What characteristics?" Ning Que asked curiously.
"Elder brother is very serious about what he does. So his movements are very slow, very slow."
"How slow?"
"You can't imagine how slow it is."
…
…
"Even if I have to wait for Master to return home first, then I have to do something in the mountains."
"You will have a lot to do in the future?"
Ning Que suddenly felt that something was wrong and asked hesitantly: "For example?"
Chen Pipi looked at him sympathetically and said, "Like a lot."
At this moment, Ning Que finally recalled the expression of pity that Chen Pipi would occasionally show inadvertently when meeting his senior brothers and sisters in the academy today. He vaguely guessed something and asked in a deep voice:
"Now that I have become my junior brother, do you feel that your life has ushered in a new and joyful stage?
Chen Pipi looked at him with a smile and said: "Yes, from now on I no longer have to be forced to listen to those elegant songs every day, I don't have to be forced by the fourth senior brother to draw lines on the sand table every day, I don't have to be forced by the sixth senior brother to tread water every day, no need
You don’t have to be forced by the Seventh Senior Sister to put flags and draw lines in the fog every day. You don’t have to be forced by the Eleventh Senior Brother to discuss those things in the fog every day. You don’t have to be forced by the Second Senior Brother to calculate those numbers like mountains and seas every day and get slapped in the palm.
But he is always the one who comes first.”
Ning Que said thoughtfully: "Because I am the youngest one now."
Chen Pipi patted his chest and said gratefully: "The academy is better than having a junior brother."
Ning Que smiled, opened his hand, rested it on his head and looked at the sky, thinking that he must cherish today's leisure time, and was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
"I know you are a person with big ideas and ambitions."
Chen Pipi suddenly looked at the sky and said: "You were concerned about the realm of your senior brothers and sisters because you wanted to surpass them. In fact, personally, I don't really agree with this way of life because it is too tiring."
Ning Que did not look back at him, but stared at the birds flying lower and lower in the blue sky, looking at their soft white bellies under their black wings, and murmured: "Living is inherently tiring."
"I don't know what exactly you went through when you were a child, but I think sometimes you still need to be more open-minded."
"You mean I'm a narrow-minded person? All my crab roe porridge was fed to the pigs?"
"You know that's not what I meant. I meant that you don't need to be wary of your senior brothers and sisters. They are all good people."
Ning Que was silent for a moment and said: "When I was four years old, I met a good man, and then I found that the good man wanted to eat me. Of course, I didn't think that my senior brothers and sisters would be such people, but I just met them, so it was inevitable that they would
I have some defensive psychology, so you don’t have to worry too much about me becoming a psychopath. If I were a psychopath, I would have already become better when I was a child."
Chen Pipi turned to look at his side face and said: "At least here, you really don't have to be too vigilant and defensive. You can relax and live a happy life. The mountain behind the academy is a good place, you should cherish it."
"Understood, I will cherish it."
Ning Que said seriously: "You have stayed in the back mountain for so many years, are you bored?"
"Of course it happens sometimes, otherwise how could I know you?"
Ning Que looked away, looked at him and asked curiously: "When will you return to Xiling?"
Chen Pipi didn't know what unforgettable scenes were associated with this question, and her expression was a bit ugly.
Ning Que stared into his eyes and asked seductively: "Is it related to women?"
Chen Pipi swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice: "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Ning Que laughed, bumped his shoulder, and asked, "Speaking of which, what kind of woman do you like?"
When mature men discuss women, they often discuss money and things in bed. Only when young men discuss women will they discuss such simple topics. But no matter what it is, women are always the most interesting ones to talk about.
Hearing this question, Chen Pipi suddenly became interested and said, "Do you remember what I wrote in my first letter?"
Ning Cao nodded.
"Forget all that, it's just me cursing people."
Chen Pipi said with a smile: "The girl I like must have long black and shiny hair, a small figure, clean eyebrows, and of course good-looking. If she can have a rosy little face, that would be the best."
Ning Que asked in surprise: "That's all?"
After Chen Pipi thought for a moment, he added with a solemn expression: "It doesn't matter if you are more independent and stronger, even if you are fierce, no woman can beat a monastic genius like me, but she... must be a good person."
Ning Que always felt that there seemed to be some years of pain hidden in this sentence, but thinking that when Chen Pipi fled Xiling and came to the academy, he was just a little boy in his early ten years, and how could he not be involved in a love debt, he couldn't help but wonder.
.
At this moment, Chen Pipi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at the stream down the slope and said, "Look, that's the goose raised by the second senior brother."
A plump white goose waggled its tail and walked to the creek. It held a small bamboo basket in its mouth. I didn't know what was in the basket. I saw it stretched its thick hard beak into the bamboo basket.
, and then stretched into the calm flowing stream.
There was a sound of commotion in the stream. Countless fish swam happily over and gathered in front of the big white goose. They pecked at the goose from time to time, but it seemed very orderly. The fish that had finished eating quickly moved away and gave up their positions to those behind them.
of fish.
The big white goose raised its head from the water, raised its white neck proudly and squawked twice at the sky, then took the contents of the bamboo basket into the stream again, and then repeated this action over and over again, showing great patience.
Ning Que was shocked speechless by the scene by the stream... This big white goose was actually feeding the fish!
"The goose raised by the second senior brother comes to feed the fish every day, as if he proudly thinks that this is the most important task in his life. This is just like the second senior brother trains us every day, and proudly thinks that this is the most important task in his life.
"
Chen Pipi stood beside him and said with a smile.
Ning Que was shocked and speechless, thinking that the mountain behind the academy was really the most awesome place in the world.
…
…
Crossing the Minshan Mountain and heading north, there is a naturally formed pass in the extreme northern wilderness that is even more desolate than the wilderness. On the wilderness to the south of the pass, a team of thousands of women, children, old and weak is walking with difficulty. It is dark this year
The weather lasted much longer than in previous years, and the temperature became even colder. The Beidahuang tribe, known for its tolerance to severe cold, could no longer stand the increasingly harsh environment. They were forced to leave their hometown where they had lived for more than a thousand years, walking on snow and mud.
The mixed melt migrates southward.
The Northern Wilderness tribe, composed of hundreds of thousands of people, has been away from the Central Plains for so long that many people have forgotten that there is still a region in the south in the world. It has been so long that they have long been forgotten by that prosperous and wealthy world.
As the night lengthens and the temperature drops, those who cannot bear it are not only the poor tribal people, but also the animals and beasts that originally lived in colder areas.
Listening to a shrill cry faintly coming from the distance to the north of the pass, the faces of the respected old men in the migrating tribe showed solemn expressions, and their wrinkles were full of sadness and helplessness. As for the women wearing furs, their eyes were filled with tears.
It is full of despair. They who make a living by hunting can clearly judge the size of this group of beasts that invaded from the extreme cold area from their cries. If these ferocious beasts are allowed to catch up with the tribe, then the tribe will
There will be a catastrophe.
The pass was a mess and the snow was full of stains.

Listening to a shriller cry of a beast, she held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands. She stared at the black line in the distance of the snowy field. Her body was slightly trembling due to nervousness, but her still childish eyes became more and more...
The brighter.
The sound of hoofbeats gradually became clearer, and the snow wolf's faint eyes appeared on the wasteland like stars. The atmosphere was depressing and terrifying. The girl looked at that place nervously, and suddenly shouted in a childish voice: "Tang Xiaotang, you want to become the strongest woman in the world! Of course!
He won’t die so early!”
As she finished speaking, she pulled the knife out of the snow with all her strength.
The knife was red, very curved and very large, longer and wider than her small body. When she held it on her shoulder, it looked like a bloody crescent moon.
She held up the red moon giant sword, shouted like a madman, and rushed towards the giant wolves in the snowfields all over the mountains and plains.

(It’s very rough. I’ll finish it together with the first chapter tomorrow, but it’s cool enough. It’s 9,500 words. I’m so happy with the last scene. The goose feeding the fish is a real thing. I forgot whether it was a goose in Tongji or Fudan.
