Seeing Ah Bai busy hanging colorful ribbons at the door, Gai Jun put down the book in his hand and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
In the blink of an eye, it was more than four months since he arrived here, and he had completely integrated into this era. If today was not the Dragon Boat Festival, he would have almost forgotten that he was a modern person. At this time, there was no mention of the Dragon Boat Festival, at least in the northern part of the Han Dynasty. Since the pre-Qin period, People think that May is an evil month, and May 5 is an evil month and an evil day. There are many taboos. For example, "If you get an official position in May, you will not be appointed until you are removed.", "Building a house in May will make people bald." "On the fifth day a child is born, a male harms his father, a female harms her mother" and so on. Many customs have been developed to ward off evil and disasters, and hanging five-color seals on the door is one of them.
"I'm going to find Gai Yin, will you go?" Gai Jun asked with a half-smile.
Ah Bai blushed and replied: "Young master, just go and ask me for what?"
"This is what you said. Don't blame me behind your back for being unreasonable."
Abai muttered something unknown, and hung colorful silk threads on his arms before he went out.
When I came outside the stable yard, I saw Gai Yin standing in front of his house from a distance, waving a bamboo knife. He used several tricks over and over again, including chopping, chopping, sweeping, teasing, and stabbing, sometimes changing the order. In the eyes of a layman, he was slashing here and there, not only did he do nothing. It has no sense of beauty and is not smooth enough, but in the eyes of an expert, his moves are like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace behind, giving people a feeling of being powerless to stop him.
"How did he practice? Damn it, do you dare to be braver?"
Gai Jun muttered and slowly walked to the weapon rack, pulled out a bamboo knife, suddenly spring thunder burst from his tongue, and in an instant the knife touched Gai Yin's head.
Gai Yin's expression remained unchanged, he sheathed his sword and raised it to block the incoming attack.
"puff!"
The two bamboo knives collided hard together.
Gai Yin Deng took two steps back, cleverly releasing the huge momentum, and faced Gai Jun who was pursuing the victory without giving in.
"puff!"
This time, because they were prepared, both sides took a step back, and no one gained the upper hand. However, his speed of return was obviously slightly better than that of Gai Jun. He stepped forward, and the bamboo sword turned into a green light and slashed down diagonally. lightning.
Gai Jun's anger sank into his dantian, and he struck back. He held the sword in both hands and faced the attack, swinging the opponent away while striding forward quickly. The moment Gai Yin's feet landed, he launched a storm-like offensive. His body was as straight as a swimming dragon, and his sword was powerful. Opening and closing, for a moment, the master such as Gai Yin retreated continuously and was in a panic. Fortunately, his sword skills were strict and he laid out many sword shadows, so he was not defeated.
Gai Jun slashed dozens of swords in one go. He tried his best with his swords, but failed to break through the opponent's carefully woven defense network. He was a little exhausted. Naturally, Gai Yin would not miss this rare opportunity and immediately changed from defense to offense.
There was another heavy muffled sound. Gai Jun stumbled backwards, holding the bamboo knife in his trembling arms, his expression became particularly solemn.
Instantaneous reversal of form.
Facing the heavy waves of knives coming at him like stormy waves crashing against the shore, Gai Jun tried his best to block them. As time went by, the overwhelming pressure gradually made him feel powerless. However, he was tired physically and mentally and his mind was not disordered. Gradually, I found that Gai Yin's speed of drawing the sword had slowed down. Although it was not obvious, it was indeed slow. Does this mean that the opponent was also spending a lot of money and was unable to sustain it?
Thinking of this, Gai Jun suddenly took three steps back, opened a slight distance, combined his arms, waist, and legs into one, and swung out a sword with all his strength.
Gai Yin was chasing after him so fast that his legs had already rushed off the ground. Facing Gai Jun's knife, he was unsure of how to take it. His body shook, his center of gravity sank, and he suddenly exerted force on the tip of his right foot, taking advantage of the momentum to move his body backwards. Retreat, narrowly avoiding the knife.
This was a good opportunity to counterattack, but Gai Jun was really powerless and could only gasp and stare.
Gai Yin did not attack again, but sheathed his sword and praised: "Uncle Xiaozu, this move is really good."
Seeing that the other party's face was not red and out of breath, he looked at himself and then asked: "I have a question that I have been holding on to for a long time. How many skills did you use to compete with me?"
"..."
"It's hard to say that? Are you considering my face?" Gai Jun was very dissatisfied with Gai Yin's silence. The young man recovered quickly. Gai Jun felt that he was full of strength again and said: "Fight me with all your strength, let me see
Let’s see how powerful you are.”
"..." Gai Yin asked hesitantly for a while: "Full force?"
"Full force!"
Gai Yin's figure suddenly shot out, and with a "pop" sound, the two people suddenly separated. Gai Jun flew backwards as if he was hit by a big truck. He always thought that he was born with supernatural powers, but Gai Yin
It's not like ordinary people, not to mention that the two sides are three years apart, so the winner can be determined by one blow.
Gai Jun jumped up, ignoring the pain all over his body, and looked at him in surprise, thinking to himself: "How could it be that there is such a big gap?"
Gai Yin looked innocent, mixed with a little nervousness, as if to say, "Don't blame me, you asked me to do my best."
The two would compete every three to five days, and Gai Jun never won even once, even if the other side let off steam. He would have known that he was not his opponent, but... how could a miserable defeat and a sad defeat be the same thing?
"No, he is just stronger than me. As long as we avoid head-on confrontation..." Gai Jun thought silently in his heart and shouted "Come again". Before he could finish his words, Yi Yi rushed forward and slashed at Gai Yin's neck with his sword.
Gai Yin did not resist, the sword came out like the wind, faster than the lightning, and attacked the middle gate directly.
"Want to injure both of us? Humph, in actual combat, my sword is enough to cut off your head, but you may not be able to kill me." Gai Jun was secretly proud. However, as the bamboo sword continued to approach, he felt stressed.
It multiplied, and when he saw that the bamboo knife was about to hit his face, he finally couldn't resist his timidity, and rolled forward like a lazy donkey, feeling even more embarrassed than before.
Gai Yin stood silently.
Defeated twice in a row, especially the last time due to timidity, Gai Jun's face turned from white to red, from red to black, and from black to green like a chameleon, and his body shook like a sieve.
He was getting more angry and was about to explode. He held it back, sat down on the ground, and said in frustration: "Why are you so good at swordsmanship?"
Gai Yin considered it and said: "When I was as old as Uncle Xiaozu..."
Gai Jun waved his hand to interrupt him: "Okay, you are as old as me and have already beaten all the invincible opponents in Wubao."
"..."
Gai Jun's eyes were fixed on the other person for a moment: "How can I reach your level?"
Gai Yin did not answer his question, but asked instead: "Uncle Xiaozu, you are going to be an official in the future, so what's the use of practicing swordsmanship?"
"Who says I will definitely become an official? Maybe I will become a general!" Gai Jun rolled his eyes.
"Even if you join the army, you only need to know the art of war. What's the point of practicing swordsmanship?"
Gai Jun gritted his teeth and said: "If I become a general, I will order you to rush forward and kill you if you dare to retreat."
Knowing that Uncle Xiaozu was angry, Gai Yin didn't dare to say anything. Today, Uncle Xiaozu was really beaten hard, and it would be bad if he made him angry again if he said the wrong thing. He turned around and took a large water bag from the house and handed it to him.
he.
"What?" Gai Jun glanced at him doubtfully, took the water bag and took a sip. He realized that it was wine, or good wine. His expression immediately changed from gloomy to clear, and he praised his nephew for his filial piety.
