Parting, there were poets who once wrote poems about parting from husbands without tears or tears. They were often used in the scene of a young man in his prime going off to the battlefield and saying goodbye. It also made people have to hold back their tears and not dare to reveal them in front of their family members. .
To be honest, Zhang Ling really didn't have much contact with anyone during the time he lived in the Yu Mansion. He only had a few words with Gu Pinghou, a veteran. It was not that he felt sorry for this old man who could only Living under someone else's roof, I just felt that he was a little lonely. Both Yu Chang and Yu Lianwu were involved in government affairs and were not free. The servants even looked down on the old people who lived shamelessly in other people's homes. Some of them just made sarcastic remarks. Only Yu Wanqing was still free to talk to him. The last few words said were probably because of the common sight of those wealthy children in Jinyu City who pretended to be romantic but had no real talent and learning, so they had a sudden passion for Zhang Ling. In Zhang Ling's view, this kind of thing It was even more sparse and ordinary, so he didn't care about the girl's temporary infatuation. As time went by, it was probably forgotten.
After all, you can come to this city at any time. If you really want to see it, you can see it. The last sentence of the poet is that the stick and the sword are against the wine, and Yan Cai is ashamed to be a wanderer. It is more suitable for the two of them at this moment. Zhang Ling doesn't know whether he can succeed in martial arts. , but fortunately, it is not a bad idea to find an official position with the emperor. Judging from the understanding of martial arts during this period, a talented person like Song Linjie who has steadily and rapidly improved his realm and sword skills will definitely be able to reach the top in the future, and even If the opportunity is right, it might not be a bad idea to surpass the two strongest sword wielders in the world and become the best sword wielder in the world.
The reason why Zhang Ling doubts whether he can become a master is entirely because the path he is practicing at the moment is completely based on what is described in the book given by the old man, but it stops at the second level, and beyond that, it can only depend on the individual. He realized that what Zhang Ling was doing now was completely equivalent to going to extremes. He didn't consider martial arts at all, so naturally he was worried about not being able to reach the first level.
At this moment, Song Linjie was driving a carriage, and the person sitting in the carriage was naturally Zhang Ling. Suddenly, he lifted up the curtain in front of the carriage with one hand and handed a piece of rice paper to Song Linjie. Song Linjie, who was driving the carriage, could not turn around and took it with one hand. He glanced at it casually, realized it later, and said angrily: "Zhang Ling, you are going too far. You said you were worried about getting dark when you arrived at the academy, so you wanted to rent a carriage. Why do you want me to go out for the second time?" Two silver coins?"
Zhang Ling did not give in at all, and said rationally: "You have forgotten that you demolished Mingyue Tower, and you paid all the 10,000 taels for it. Although you were the one who started the fight, I was the one who placed the bet. We each have half, so more than that, the remaining favor from the Ye family belongs to me alone."
Song Linjie obviously didn't care about this and nodded: "Okay, but can I waive the two taels of silver? I really have no money!"
Zhang Ling was unreasonable and continued: "Brothers must settle their accounts clearly, and even more so if they are not close relatives. You run out to fight with people after eating in Yu Mansion all day long. You don't know how expensive things are in this capital." It’s so expensive, one or two to eight hundred yuan, it can’t be less.”
Song Linjie didn't care how much money he spent, but he got worried when it came to money. A penny really stumped him, a heroic man, but anyway, when he got to the academy, he could just ask his grandfather to give it to him. The academy would definitely not be short of this little money.
When they arrived at the gate of Nancheng, Zhang Ling retreated from the carriage and the two of them walked out of the city. Zhang Ling struggled for a while and finally said those words: "Song Linjie, I should have told you that if you encounter that kind of invincible person again, I will still leave you when the situation arises, and so will you, there is no need to stand in front of me."
When they talked about the interests of Yinliang, Song Linjie didn't care at all, but now he seemed to have touched the bottom line. His face suddenly turned cold and he said softly: "I also said that it is your business to leave. I can't abandon you. From the moment we left Liufeng City together, I have regarded you as a friend. I don’t know what you think, but if I really do that, my martial arts will stop here."
On the way, the two of them didn't say a word again. The sky was getting dark, and the number of people coming and going inside and outside Jinyu City was also decreasing. They stayed away from the official road and took the path to the academy. They were even more silent. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw two roads in the distance. Song Linjie shook off his twilight aura and stepped forward to meet the figure.
There is a man and a woman. The man is dressed simply, but he is full of aura of righteousness. The woman is wearing a relatively elegant long skirt with a few peach blossoms, giving people a sense of gentleness and dignity. At the same time, the two of them have long skirts. Zhang Ling had heard about swords for a long time. When he was at Baihua Villa, he heard Yang Xiao say that they originally wanted to go to the Sword Tomb to ask for these two famous swords, but they didn't know that the owner of the Sword Tomb, Wu Jianping, had already given away the two swords, so they Only then did he settle for the next best thing and found the Golden Flower and Silver Tree. These two swords were among the top ten lovers' swords in the world. The sixth was Luoshanhe and the seventh was Siwuya. Yang Xiaoxiao once said in detail the characteristics of these two swords. Zhang Ling could recognize the scabbard at a glance.
Song Linjie shouted excitedly: "I've met senior brother and senior sister."
The two people who came down from the academy nodded and smiled. The man introduced: "My name is Baili Huanan, and this is Murong Wanxue. Since you are here, come up. The other three junior brothers have already been here."
Along the way up the mountain, there are many fields and fruit trees lying on the ground. As you go up, the crops are different from each other, but without exception, they are growing well. Compared with the crops in the fields of ordinary people down the mountain, the fields are scattered and scattered, and most of them are surrounded by trees. The road to the mountain is winding and winding due to flowing water and streams. Generally speaking, this Kongyao Mountain does not have the rules and regulations that a large sect should have, but rather resembles a farmhouse in a paradise.
I had heard from Wu Zhi before in the fantasy formation that there were fruit trees on the mountain, but he thought they were rare. He would have a chance to try them out one year later, but along the way Zhang Ling observed the leaf color and shape of the fruit trees scattered on the road, even the hazelnut tree. We have got everything that can be used in winter.
Zhang Ling asked curiously: "Senior brother, how many people are there in the academy?"
Baili Huanan conveniently picked a bunch of grapes on the side road. He was more accustomed to seeing it. His expression showed that he particularly liked the fruit, and his behavior was different from the serious look he had when talking. He tore off one and ate it with the skin. , just spat out the seeds, and then said: "Including you, there are twenty-four people in total. However, the old dean said that don't correct small things and be careful about big things, so there are not so many rules in the academy, except for the two Apart from the dean, there is no distinction between disciples and academicians. You can address them as seniors and brothers, or you can call them by their first names."
Zhang Ling pointed to the mountain fields that were already planted with crops and asked, "Who planted all this land?"
Baili Huan'an ate a few more grapes before continuing: "They were all grown by Li DaMi. Ten years ago, Dean Song went to the north to compete with the Sword Master. He happened to meet Li DaMi and brought him back. You guys It’s not surprising that for Li Da Mi, this is his practice. Although he is only at the fourth level, he has already perfected the six orifices ahead of schedule.”
