The conversation has reached this point, and Shao Xi feels that there is no need to go around this detour any further.
I came to Yingyue Island this time to apologize. Now that people say that they don’t care if they learn martial arts secretly, then they should admit the tomb robbery openly, otherwise it will make people think that they are on their side. Too petty.
"Miss Cheng, I have a story I want to tell you. I wonder if you have the patience to listen to it?"
Cheng Baiqiu didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Shao Xi's gourd. He went to his Yingyue Island and gave two more such expensive gifts. Was it just to tell him a story?
Although Cheng Baiqiu is relatively simple-minded, she is not stupid. At this time, she feels that the arrival of Shao Xi and others must be related to something related to their Wangshu Pavilion on Yingyue Island, and Shao Xi is unwilling to directly confront her Instead, he said that he wanted to tell himself a story, which showed that this matter was definitely not that simple.
Since there is something going on, you might as well listen to him and see what makes them so solemn.
"It seems that the visit of the young master and others this time must be related to the young master's story, so the little girl is all ears and hopes that the young master can explain the purpose of his visit to the little girl after telling this story. Although our Wangshu Pavilion on Yingyue Island has been isolated from the world all year round, Isolate myself and have less contact with others, but I am not unreasonable. If the young master encounters any difficulties and needs our help, as long as it is within my daughter's ability, the young master will just ask."
After Shao Xi bowed deeply to Cheng Baiqiu, he pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"This story begins with a massacre of a family eleven years ago..."
Except for the fact that the fire in Fengjiazhuang was heard from Lao Wu, the two of them later fled to the northern grassland. Although all their experiences in the grassland during those ten years cannot be said to be exhaustive, they are also described in quite detail. .
Among them, Shao Xi couldn't help but embellished some of the crises and tribulations he and Lao Wu had experienced. Finally, he spoke impassionedly about his desire to practice martial arts and seek justice for the sixty-six members of the Feng family in the future, and Lao Wu, as a loyal member of the Feng family, In order to help the young master fulfill his wish for revenge, he did not hesitate to return to the Central Plains to resume his old career and find the best martial arts secrets and magical weapons in the world for himself and his friends.
Cheng Baiqiu was attracted by the wonderful stories told by Shao Xi. As Shao Xi told it like a storyteller, he was sometimes nervous, sometimes sad, and sometimes moved. In the end, he was moved by the experiences of the master and servant. He had a deep appreciation for Lao Wu over the years. I admire Shao Xi's efforts.
When talking about Wu Rina and Muren, Shao Xi looked at Cheng Baiqiu and said slowly: "This is the story between me and this old servant in my family. Old Wu can also be regarded as my enlightenment master in martial arts." , my two childhood sweethearts also worshiped him as their teacher. Although his martial arts skills were not high, he pointed out the direction for us in martial arts and taught us many principles of life. It is a pity that he gave up in the end for us. My own principles. You can’t blame him for this. He regards us as his own children. He is willing to do anything for us, even if it means being stigmatized. As juniors, we were brought up by him and taught by him, and now we have some abilities. Naturally, he should stand up and make up for the mistakes he has made. Everything he did was for us, so now the responsibility should be borne by us."
Shao Xi's words paved the way for what he was going to say later. He could see that the story he told had aroused Cheng Baiqiu's interest, but in the story he only talked about Lao Wu going to Wulong Mountain for himself and... Lingyu Mountain stole secret books and weapons, but he did not mention what kind of martial arts Muren and Wu Rina practiced, because he knew Cheng Baiqiu would definitely ask.
No one listening to a story is willing to listen to only half of the story. When there are things that are not told in the story, the listeners will definitely ask questions.
To Shao Xi's expectation, when the story came to an end, Cheng Baiqiu asked: "Young Master secretly learned the "Taichang Heart Sutra" taught by Taichang in Wulong Mountain and the "Feiyu Sword Technique" taught by Qian Yumen in Lingyu Mountain. I also got the Cuiyu Sword, the treasure of the Qianyu Sect. I wonder if Mr. Shao has this sword with him? My daughter has always wanted to see it after hearing his name for a long time, but she never had the chance. I wonder if I will be so lucky today?"
"This sword is indeed on my body. If the girl wants to see it, of course she can!"
With that said, Shao Xi took out the Cuiyu Sword from his waist, held it in both hands and handed it to Cheng Baiqiu.
Cheng Baiqiu stood up and took the sword with both hands, his face full of surprise. When he was young, he heard from his master that the Cuiyu Sword of Qianyumen of Lingyu Mountain was a magical weapon in the martial arts world. It was unique in the world. Today, he was finally lucky enough to be able to use it. It is a blessing for her to hold this sword in her hands and appreciate it in person.
Looking at the gleaming green feather sword in his hand, Cheng Baiqiu couldn't put it down, especially since the sword itself was weightless, as light as a feather, yet extremely sharp, and could cut iron like mud. Cheng Baiqiu was even more surprised and praised him repeatedly. "It's better to hear a hundred times than to see it once. This Cuiyu Sword really deserves its reputation."
"Senior Yuan You's unique skill 'Thousand Mountain Feathers' became famous in the martial arts world back then. The green feather sword he used at that time is indeed extraordinary. It is true that it can become the treasure of Lingyu Mountain. Well deserved, he is truly a magic weapon."
Cheng Baiqiu reluctantly handed the Cuiyu Sword back to Shao Xi. He was a swordsman and naturally preferred swords to others.
When Shao Xi put away his sword, he saw another sword on Shao Xi's waist, so he couldn't help but ask: "I didn't expect that the young master actually carried two soft swords with him at the same time, but I don't know who the other one belongs to." A magical weapon, a martial arts treasure?"
Shao Xi saw Cheng Baiqiu's interest, so after putting away the Cuiyu sword, he took out the Liuyun sword and handed it to Cheng Baiqiu as well.
After Cheng Baiqiu took it, he looked incredulous again. You must know that Liuyun Sword was a famous martial arts sword as famous as Cuiyu Sword.
She could never understand why Shao Xi, a seventeen-year-old boy, had so many treasures in his possession. I'm afraid this is not just obtained by Lao Wu alone. You must know that the common man is innocent and guilty of carrying the jade, and he can carry so many good things so safely, which is enough to prove that Mr. Shao has special skills. I'm afraid people don't dare to take his chances.
The elegance of the Liuyun Sword and the beauty of the Cuiyu Sword formed a strong contrast, which made Cheng Baiqiu admire again when she held it in her hand. In comparison, she liked the Liuyun Sword in her hand even more, because it was indeed the same as her own. The temperament and mood are so consistent.
Exactly:
Don’t admire the jade mist covering the mountains,
I only envy the flowing clouds in the high sky.
Growing up on Yingyue Island, he was isolated from the rest of the world and did not know the cruelty and dangers of the outside world. But living this boring life all year round made Cheng Baiqiu always full of novelties and fantasies about the outside world. Although on Yingyue Island, She lived like a fairy in life, but she still yearned for the kind of life where she fought swords in the world and enjoyed grudges.
People always want to get things they have never gotten, and sometimes they even feel that what they have now is an obstacle.
In Lao Wu's words, people who have never entered the arena yearn for the arena, while those who have already entered the arena are trying every possible means to leave the arena, and many people can never get out once they enter the arena, so Cheng Baiqiu In fact, she is lucky. She is just curious about the outside world, but in fact she already has the best life in the world.
Her master has established a great reputation in the world. I am afraid that no one will dare to disturb the place where she currently lives for the rest of her life. Therefore, as long as she lives a normal life, there will be no troubles in her life. This kind of Life is actually what people in the secular world dream of, but she doesn't understand it when she is living in it.
After returning the Liuyun Sword to Shao Xi, Cheng Baiqiu finally asked the question that Shao Xi had been waiting for her to ask.
"Young Master is lucky to have such a master. Although the martial arts you have practiced are not very glorious on the way here, you masters and disciples are also forced by the situation and have no choice but to say it. It is understandable. Young Master only mentioned Why don't you mention the martial arts you practiced to your friends there? I think Senior Wu must have obtained the unique martial arts secrets and weapons for them. Since they did not come to Yingyue Island today, can you tell me, sir, Let my little girl also gain experience?"
Now that the topic has come, Shao Xi thought about it for a moment, raised his head and said to Cheng Baiqiu: "The girl said before that if someone is willing to practice the sword skills that the respected master practiced during his lifetime, it would be a good thing for your house. . Now that I have said this today, I don’t want to hide it, so I tell the truth to the girl! In fact, what my two childhood friends practiced was the sword technique practiced by respected master and senior Guan Yuchengguan during their lifetimes. After this After ten years of practice, they have achieved some success, and they are extremely talented. They will definitely make progress in the future. I just don’t know whether this news is good news or bad news for Miss Cheng? Just because they The secret sword skills and the weapons used in my hands were exactly those owned by my respected master and senior Guan back then. Of course I knew that this kind of behavior was wrong, so I brought Old Wu to Yingying in person ten years later. Tsukishima Wangsuge apologizes, and I only hope to be forgiven by you and make amends. If you have any conditions or requirements, just put them forward, and we will fulfill them even if we risk our lives. After all, it is our fault. First of all, I will never make excuses for myself.”
Shao Xi finished speaking in one breath, and his heart seemed to feel much lighter. This matter has been weighing on Shao Xi's heart for so many years, and he has always felt guilty.
They all say that he should be buried in peace. What Old Wu did back then was indeed a bit too much, but things have come to this, and now all he can do is to sincerely apologize and try his best to make amends.
After Cheng Baiqiu heard what Shao Xi said, he was stunned. After holding it in for a long time, he finally asked a question. Shao Xi almost fell to the ground after hearing this.
"Could it be that my master and senior Guan are still alive and they just faked their deaths back then?"
