Seeing Yingping's reaction being so exaggerated, and hearing his words of praise, Ye Changshan felt a little embarrassed. After all, he did not rely on his own talent and hard work, but relied on his teacher's unexpected destiny change. There is today.
"Hey...hehe..." Ye Changshan smiled naively and kept saying: "Thank you...You're rewarded..."
"So how do you feel now?"
Yingping asked curiously. The pinnacle of martial arts was what he had always pursued. His good brother suddenly jumped from a novice in martial arts to a top master. How could he not be curious?
"It feels...the same as usual. It's just that my whole body is more sensitive. It seems that everything around me has a 'soul'. I can feel their existence and changes."
Yingping kept nodding his head as an affirmation of this feeling. He had the same feeling when he opened the sun. Then, his nod turned into shaking his head, as if he was admiring and envious of this change of being the same person but not having the same fate.
"Tsk tsk tsk - you are so outstanding. Kaiyang, Xiaoman, Jingzhe, Daman, Tianji, you have crossed five realms and directly become a strong practitioner. It's really... tsk tsk tsk -"
"This is because the fifth senior sister has taken good care of us on weekdays, and the third senior brother has trained us well." Ye Changshan recalled how Zichun and Ji Yang had helped him in the past three years. He felt very lucky. If it hadn't been like this, I'm afraid the teacher I don't even have the foundation to accept this 'gift' myself. He looked at the envious Yingping, suddenly thought of something, and said: "After all, they are doing it for our own good."
Yingping was startled, and seemed to hear the meaning of Ye Changshan's words. He placed the oil lamp on the table, looked at the dancing flame, and fell into deep thought again...
yes! They are all for their own good!

The next day, Ye Changshan prepared everyone's meals as usual.
After everyone was seated for dinner one after another, Ye Changshan walked into the dining hall humming a little tune and prepared to eat, but for some reason, the cheerful little tune suddenly stopped humming. Everyone felt a little strange and stopped their chopsticks and turned to look. I saw Ye Changshan's hands stopped behind him, obviously ready to take off his apron, but he didn't know what he saw, which made him stop there in a daze. Everyone followed Ye Changshan's gaze and saw Ji Yang and Zheng eating hard without hearing what was going on behind them. Perhaps feeling the sudden stagnation of the surrounding environment, Ji Yangyu raised his head and looked around. When he turned his head, he also found Ye Changshan looking in his direction. He looked at both sides of him in confusion, and found that there was only one seat left in the dining hall to his left. At this time, looking at Ye Changshan's somewhat tangled expression, he suddenly understood. Recalling what happened yesterday, Ji Yangyu felt a little unnatural.
"Have a meal!"
Ji Yang and Qing Qing dropped two words, then picked up the chopsticks and continued to lower their heads. As the current second-in-command of the Han family, he must stay calm!
Ye Changshan took off his apron and threw it aside. He walked to Ji Yang and sat down next to him as if nothing had happened. He also picked up his chopsticks and ate hard.
"Why are you so close to me, Changsha? Sit over here!"
Yingping felt that Ye Changshan was too close to him, leaving his right hand with nowhere to rest.
"Why don't you sit over?" Ye Changshan asked directly.
"You..." Yingping hesitated. He didn't know why Ye Changshan made such a request, but after clearly feeling something, Yingping still chose to compromise. He turned to Yiyi and said: "Yiyi - sit down past!"
Yiyi has a gentle temperament, and she complied with her brother's unreasonable request without even thinking.
Zichun looked at these people in confusion, and her eyes became sharp. After examining the people in front of her and finding nothing unusual, she picked up the bowls and chopsticks again and began to eat in small bites.
Qilang looked at Ji Yang and He Ye Changshan with dull eyes, as if he had forgotten the chopsticks and bowl in his hands.
Feeling Qilang's gaze, Ye Changshan became even more uncomfortable. The chopsticks in his hands moved even faster, wanting to rake all the food in the bowl into his mouth in an instant.
'Bata——'
Suddenly, Qi Lang put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, stared at Ye Changshan and said excitedly: "Junior brother! I thought of it!"
Seeing the uncharacteristic Qilang, everyone felt very strange, but Ye Changshan was shocked and felt that something was wrong.
Before Ye Changshan could speak, Qilang said directly: "You and your third senior brother practice together! I have a solution!"
"Pfft - cough cough - cough cough -"
Ye Changshan squirted out the rice in his mouth, and then seemed to be choking, and kept coughing.
"What?" Yingping was a little curious about the word he suddenly heard.
"Double cultivation!" Qilang said straightforwardly without feeling anything wrong.
"Double cultivation?" Yingping didn't believe his ears. He had learned about the method of dual cultivation in a book, so he naturally knew what it was about. He looked at Ji Yang and Ye Changshan, his eyes full of disbelief, and asked: "Who? Who wants to practice dual cultivation?"
"Third Senior Brother and Junior Brother." Qilang was still extremely upright.
"Oh? Really?"
Zichun put down the bowl and chopsticks with a smile on his face and looked at Qilang inquiringly. Facing Zichun's question, Qilang nodded heavily again. Then, Zichun turned to look at Ji Yang and Ye Changshan, as if the word "interesting" was written all over their faces.
"What is dual cultivation?" Yiyi asked Yingping in a low voice.
"Shh-I'll explain it to you later."
How could Yingping have the time to answer his sister? After a few perfunctory words, he was equally interested in watching the excitement.
Seeing that the muddy waters were getting muddier, Ji Yanghe, who had always been calm, couldn't sit still. He quickly explained: "This is a misunderstanding..."
Ye Changshan also echoed, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, this is a misunderstanding!"
"What's the misunderstanding? Tell me." Zichun was still reluctant.
"It's not a misunderstanding - there is no misunderstanding - there is no misunderstanding -" Shichiro was as obsessed with this topic as if he had taken the wrong medicine.
Ye Changshan felt very powerless and desperate. Qilang seemed to be born with a very 'paranoid' nature. He would never give up until the goal was achieved, and his method was always straightforward and never beat around the bush. Just when Ye Changshan wanted to defend himself, he suddenly He was pulled by Ji Yangyu.
"What do you want to say, Qilang?" It's better to block the situation. Seeing that if it goes on like this, the picture will get darker and darker, Ji Yangyu decides to let Qilang express his feelings.
"The fundamental purpose of the dual cultivation method is to strengthen the connection and perception between the two parties, so as to achieve the effect of enhancing tacit understanding. Just like a person's hands, one hand can clearly feel the other hand even with his eyes closed. And the dual cultivation method The only way to achieve this effect is through physical intimacy between the two parties, but there is another way to achieve this effect."
"What method?" Seeing Qilang say so definitely, everyone became curious unconsciously, and did not even notice that Qilang talked a lot today.
"fighting!"
"fighting?"
"Yes, if both parties experience a battle, the other party's breath of heaven and earth will leave a 'mark' on the breath of heaven and earth in their own bodies. However, this 'mark' is too vague and weak to be detected by practitioners. If both parties experience If they fight to the death, they will be extremely sensitive to each other's breath of heaven and earth, which can be said to 'know yourself and know the enemy'."
"Then...then the third senior brother and I are really going to fight to the death and survive?"
"If the amount is not enough, you can accumulate it; if you keep fighting, you can accumulate a small amount into a large amount."
"Is this method...useful?" Ji Yangyu has read a lot of books, but has no impression of what Qilang said, so he can't help but be a little confused.
"it works."
"What's the proof?"
"The teacher used it before."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked, and everyone asked in unison.
"The Battle of Tongguan against the barbarians is the best proof."
"oh?"
Qilang continued: "After the 'Battle of Tongguan', someone once asked Emperor Wu Xuan why the teacher and he could be so corresponding with each other in the dark night, knowing ourselves and the enemy? Emperor Wu Xuan said that he and the teacher often competed with each other, and sometimes they were inseparable. This Only then can they leave their own 'imprint' on the other person's breath of heaven and earth, so they can be connected heart to heart at night."
The Battle of Tongguan? Everyone here knows about this battle. At that time, the Northern Barbarian army besieged Tongguan for several months, and the defenders almost ran out of ammunition and food. At that time, the reinforcements to the east were held back by another barbarian army and delayed for several days. If it were delayed for a few more days, the Tongguan gate might be breached. If the Chang'an barrier was lost, the consequences would be disastrous. At night, it was the gentleman who took advantage of the dim moonlight to jump down from the gate, and coordinated with Qi Shimao's small group of cavalry from the east. The last two points were connected to form one force, like two gods coming to the world. The two of them responded to each other and used the darkness to kill everyone in the northern barbarian camp. The two of them seemed to be one and the same and cooperated with each other extremely well. They fought from dusk to dawn, which greatly eased the barbarian army's offensive on the second day. . This repeated killing for three nights made the barbarian army restless, and the victory that was so close at hand could not be achieved. It was the delay of these few days that allowed the reinforcements to arrive in time, and they were able to defend Tongguan and ensure that the New Tang Dynasty was not overwhelmed by the Northern Barbarians. Not to mention people from poor families, the "Battle of Tongguan" is well known in the Central Plains. Even a seven-year-old child can memorize it after hearing Mr. Shu's vivid description in a teahouse. But the relationship between the teacher and Qi Shimao has never been heard of. Everyone fell into silence after hearing this unknown past event.
Ji Yangyu was very curious. This was the first time he heard about this matter, and he couldn't help asking: "Where did you read about this?"
"The matter was not recorded in the books."
"The teacher told you?"
"no."
Ji Yang and Da were puzzled. Just when he wanted to continue asking, suddenly there was a "dong dong" knock on the door of the dining hall. Everyone turned around and saw Wen Junchen standing at the door and leaning in half of his body and said ——
"Lao San, someone is looking for you."
Someone is looking for Ji Yang?
Everyone felt very strange, including Ji Yang and himself. Ji Yanghe's family is not in Chang'an, and even if he comes, he will inform his family in advance. Ji Yanghe doesn't have any friends in Chang'an. He has stayed here day and night since he entered the mountain gate, and he has no time to make friends with other people. , why would someone come to him suddenly?
Just when everyone was confused, a figure suddenly flashed in from outside the door. Ji Yangyu took a closer look, and a face that gave him a headache appeared in front of him. Seeing this person appear, he couldn't help but frown slightly and his eyes looked strange. He didn't know what to do when facing this person - it wasn't that he was disgusted or disgusted, it was just... speechless. But then again, although he didn't want to have too much interaction with this person, this person had been helpful to him after all, so at this time Ji Yangyu had no choice but to stay in his position speechlessly, quietly waiting for this person to speak first.
After seeing the appearance of this uninvited guest, everyone was speechless for a while. The strange silence in the room lasted for a long time, making everyone present feel a little embarrassed.
After all, Wen Junchen was the leader of a mountain. Seeing that everyone was silent, he softened his words and said, "Young Master Jiang seems to have encountered some difficulties and wants to stay with us for a few days..."
Ji Yangyu looked at Jiang Changming suspiciously, as if he didn't believe Wen Junchen's words. Faced with Ji Yangyu's doubts, Jiang Changming nodded silently in response.
"..."
Ji Yang is still speechless.
"Mr. Jiang... have you encountered any difficulties?"
Yingping asked. He had asked for help from the Jiang family and Jiang Changming actually held a sword to help. Yingping was very grateful for this, so he was very friendly towards Jiang Changming.
"I... have no money," Jiang Changming replied calmly.
"ha?"
Yingping couldn't believe his ears. The eldest son of the Jiang family said that he had no money? This is as absurd as if one day his master said that he was illiterate.
Yingping looked at the calm Jiang Changming and gradually believed what he said. Perhaps his face was so handsome that Yingping didn't believe that such a beautiful person would panic.
Suddenly, Yingping seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively: "Mr. Jiang, are you... preparing for marriage..."
Jiang Changming looked at Yingping and immediately understood what he was referring to. He answered without hesitation: "I escaped from the marriage."
"ah?"
Yingping felt very speechless. Jiang Changming seemed to treat such a big thing lightly as if he was skipping school. The eyes of other people in the room also changed. What big deal is the order of parents and the appointment of a matchmaker? How can you just run away? Even Ji Yangyu was also startled. It seemed that he had never thought that Jiang Changming had such a free and unconventional side. You know, 'filial piety' is Jiang Changming's signature.
"It's nothing. Grandpa also escaped..."
Feeling the strange looks from everyone, Jiang Changming turned his head and muttered something in a low voice, but almost no one could hear the words clearly, as if he was speaking to himself.
"Ahem...so, why did you come to me?"
Ji Yang tried to resolve the embarrassment with a cough, and also wanted to know the reason why he came to find him. The Jiang family's properties were spread all over the New Tang Dynasty, and could even be seen throughout the Central Plains. As the eldest son of the Jiang family, he could go anywhere to get some money. It's all so easy, why do you have to come to the mountains to find yourself? This made Ji Yangyu very confused.
Jiang Changming replied without hesitation: "I...helped you, so...you have to help me."
Ji Yang was stunned. He couldn't refute this reason. Although he didn't go to Jiang Changming for help, at least he saved one of his arms with his sword, and he had to return this favor.
Seemingly seeing the entanglement between Ji Yang and his heart, Jiang Changming added: "Seven days, I will leave after seven days."
"you sure?"
"Sure!" Jiang Changming nodded. Seeing that Ji Yangyu was still full of doubts, he added: "Grandpa's birthday will be in seven days, and I want to go back."
"It's settled," Ji Yang said to Jiang Changming, and finally felt relieved. He said to Ye Changshan, "Changshan, please lead Mr. Jiang to the room on the first floor."
"Oh - OK!" Ye Changshan replied quickly after hearing Ji Yang's instructions. Then, he walked up to Jiang Changming and said, "Master Jiang, please."
Seeing that Ji Yangyu had accepted him, Jiang Changming ignored everyone in the room and followed Ye Changshan out.
Seeing this uninvited guest leaving, Ji Yangyu finally relaxed. To be honest, the feeling of being paid too much attention was really uncomfortable.
"Hey - there are actually men in this world who are more beautiful than women!"
Yiyi turned around and saw Zichun saying with a hostile face.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and Zichun is no exception. Although she is not extremely beautiful, she has always been very confident in her appearance. But now she suddenly met someone who was more beautiful than herself, and this person was also man! A feeling of dissatisfaction quietly emerged.
"Sister Zichun, in my heart you are the most beautiful!" Yiyi teased playfully.
"Go - you stinky girl, you dare to tease your sister!" Seeing that her little sister saw through her little sister, Zichun was a little embarrassed, her face felt slightly hot, and she lightly hit Yiyi on the head.
When Zichun stood up and was about to leave, he suddenly saw Ji Yang Yuzheng looking at him blankly, as if he was seeing him for the first time.
Zichun felt strange at first, and then his cheeks felt inexplicably hot. He changed his usual fierce tone and said, "What are you looking at?"
"Don't be angry if you say it..." Ji Yanghe said calmly.
"Well..." Zichun said in a low voice, rarely showing the slightest hint of embarrassment.
"There's a grain of rice on your face."
"What...?" Zichun didn't believe her ears. Then she touched her face and found that there were grains of rice stuck to it. Her face suddenly turned red and white, and asked: "What...when did it happen?"
"It happened a long time ago. I wanted to remind you earlier but Shichiro interrupted."
Ji Yangyu seemed unaware of Dao Zichun's emotional changes and still spoke calmly.
What! ? It’s already there! ? You bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier? Just forget it if you, my junior brothers, see it! Jiang Changming was still here just now! How embarrassing for outsiders to see!
Zichunlan spread the rice grains with a flick of her fingers. She closed her eyes and put her hands on her hips, her chest gradually rising and falling violently. Ji Yangyu was a little confused. Didn't he agree not to be angry? Why again...
"Junior sister, you..."
"What am I!? Go, go! Go and greet your guests! People come all the way and you don't entertain them! When word gets out, don't say that I am a humble family who treats guests badly!" Zichun suddenly returned to his usual aggressive tone. , so Ji Yang and Yu didn't dare to reply a single word. Seeing Ji Yang and Silent Hanchan, Zichun felt a surge of nameless anger. He stamped his feet and turned around and left the dining hall, leaving Ji Yang and Ji standing there with a blank look on their faces.
