Lin Manliu and Qiao Kesi had been practicing sword fighting in a small pavilion on the mountain road for a while. Qiao Yunnian finally couldn't squat among the flowers, and then jumped out of the grass and shouted to the two of them: "Practice sword, practice sword, practice sword, you just have to Do you know how to practice swordsmanship? And brother Lin, you see my sister dressed like this and you are also thinking about practicing swordsmanship and practicing swordsmanship. It really pisses me off."
"Qiao - Yun - Nian -, come down here. I'm planning to settle a score with you. I've been very brave recently. My sister wants to play tricks, right?" Qiao Kesi heard the voice coming from the hillside. The voice said to him in a deep voice.
When Qiao Yunnian heard his sister's somewhat embarrassed voice, he immediately ran away and shouted: "You two don't just practice swordsmanship, you can enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers and see the flowers!!".
Seeing his brother running away, Qiao Kesi did not chase him. Firstly, there was no need. Secondly, it was really not easy to run in this outfit. He could only sigh to the boy in a short shirt who was practicing his sword: "This is what you said. He is still young and we still need to trust him. Now he can even interfere with other people's men and women, let alone you and me... ."
Lin Manliu had just heard Qiao Yunnian's words. He seemed a little embarrassed and at a loss when Qiao Kesi said this. He almost lost his grip on the sword, and the two were silent for a long time.
"The person who taught you swordsmanship only taught you the Yellow Dragon style?" Qiao Kesi tried to break the current situation.
"That expert only taught me for a short period of time and then left," Lin Manliu replied immediately.
"Since he is willing to pass on the sword to you, he must be an elder in the family because his understanding of the sword power of Zhujianfeng is not as good as mine. Let me teach you another move." After that, he saw Qiao Kesi break off a section of the branch in his hand, Looking at the flower bush where Qiao Yunnian was hiding just now, the broken branch with a flick of his right wrist immediately flew towards the flower bush and submerged into the flower bush. There was a sound of branches colliding and splitting with the flower bush, but it did not end there. When the sound first appeared, The broken branch actually flew back and was caught by Qiao Kesi's right hand.
The young man in short shirt holding the sword was shocked. Why could this small branch bounce back easily after being thrown against something that collided with it? Qiao Kesi grabbed the branch, shook his head and looked at himself: " Today my clothes are not easy to open and close, so I can only use this branch to demonstrate. This style is called Jian Shi Fei Gu Luan. It is my method of making a sword peak and taking off the sword to defend against the enemy. Normally, it is used with a dagger. The black cloth strip in your hand is shorter and about the same size as an ordinary dagger. When we go out, we carry three or four short swords like this in addition to our swords."
Lin Manliu thought to himself that if he learned how to do it, he would have to prepare some daggers. Taking the Spring Chuangdie given by his master in case someone took it away wouldn't it be like throwing the sword to others to pick it up. "Then junior brother thanked senior sister in advance for passing on the sword," Lin Manliu said to Qiao Kesi.
Then under the warm sunshine, the spring breeze blew slowly over the green hills, and the pavilion was surrounded by flowers and grass. Inside the pavilion was a simple stone table with pen and ink filled with color and antique fragrance. Even the leisure books hidden in the food box on the table were With a sense of tranquility, under such a scenery, outside the pavilion, a boy in a short shirt and a girl in a yellow dress were... breaking branches and throwing them to a flower bush on the hillside.
"The gesture just now was wrong. You can't come back after flying branches and hitting objects like this. Just look at me! Look, I'm coming back now."
"Senior sister, you see this is the same gesture as you just now, but the branch did not bounce back when it hit the flower bush."
"Why did you learn so much from others before? How come you can't throw things away anymore!"
"There must be something wrong somewhere, senior sister, wait for me to correct it."
...
On a tree trunk in the distance, a richly dressed young man looked at this scene without caring about the messy clothes he got from climbing the tree, and sighed: "How can a beautiful woman with such a beautiful scenery practice sword... If I were Brother Lin, I would definitely be..." Invite them to enjoy the spring scenery of the mountains together, drink from a pot in the pavilion, and make the birds fly outside the pavilion, and the spring breeze blows into the pavilion..." The young man was immersed in his own imagination and almost slipped and fell. Fortunately, he hugged the tree trunk tightly with his arms again to avoid falling to the ground. A closer look showed that this embarrassed person was Qiao Yunnian who had just escaped.
In the following time, Qiao Yunnian was watching the two people practicing swordsmanship outside the pavilion on the mountain road in the tree. At noon, the sun was at its highest point. The branch handed out by the boy in a short shirt finally showed signs of turning, and then he took the sword. During the process, Qiao Kesi kept asking him to only hold the end of the branch as the hilt of the dagger. It was not easy to rotate the branch, and it was obvious to pick up the sword from behind.
"Watch and catch them. You want to stab someone else and then come back and give yourself a sword. You will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and damage yourself by 800, right?"
"It's...senior sister".
"If someone dodges this move of yours, the dagger will spin faster, making it harder to catch it. If your hand is injured, you will lose a thousand wounds to the enemy."
"I understand...senior sister".
...
At this time, Lin Manliu understood why Qiao Yunnian was afraid of his sister. He really changed into a different person when he practiced sword practice, but was this also a different kind of handsome and sassy?
The sun was setting in the west, and the scenery outside the mountain pavilion was all orange because of the setting sun. Lin Manliu felt a little calm whether he was passing the sword or receiving it. He turned back to look at the small pavilion on the mountain road under the sunset. The goose-yellow dress must be tired from standing. Sitting next to the stone bench and watching his sword practice, he held a teacup in both hands and gently rubbed his fingers on the rim of the cup. He suddenly realized that the boy in a short shirt looked back and stared at him. He stopped his movements and immediately raised the teacup and smiled awkwardly. Laugh: "Junior brother drinks tea."
"Well, thank you, senior sister." Lin Manliu walked to the pavilion and nodded to Qiao Kesi, then took the tea cup and drank in it.
"It's getting late. I'll call the steward on the mountain to take you back to the city to rest. If you still stay in Juzhou in the future, you can go up to the mountain to practice swordsmanship with me." Qiao Kesi patted the hem of his skirt and prepared to get up. Looking for a manager.
There was a shout of "Ah" in the distance, causing both of them to look there. Before they could see who it was, they heard a shout from the other side: "Sister and Brother Lin, don't worry, Yun Nian will go find the manager right away." I will send Brother Lin back to the inn in the city to rest, and I will pick Brother Lin up to the mountain to enjoy the scenery tomorrow."
"Qiao——Yun——Nian——..." Qiao Kesi was about to call out his brother's name and was about to reprimand him, but the words stopped abruptly before he could say anything, and then he smiled and looked at He caught the boy in a short shirt next to him. Lin Manliu sighed and said: "This little guy Yunnian actually has a good heart. I don't know how things were done in the city before, but I don't think he has anything to show contempt for his family members or for me, a friend I just met."
"That's true. He will listen to what his parents and I say at home. It's just that when he causes trouble in the city, my father and I often lecture him." Qiao Kesi nodded in approval.
"You might as well listen to Yun Nian's own thoughts and what happened. He may just want to do something to protect himself from being bullied."
While the two were still talking, the man dressed as a martial artist who had sent Lin Manliu up the mountain came outside the mountain pavilion. Upon seeing this, the boy in a short shirt said goodbye to Qiao Kesi and prepared to return to the inn in the city.
