Now that the most important thing about coming to Yingyue Island has been solved, Shao Xi wants to strike while the iron is hot and talk about Wu Qiuer's practice of hammering skills. This trip only lasts for one month. After one month, Luo Kang's ship will come to pick them up. Time is too precious to waste.
Cheng Baiqiu's smiling eyes were like two crescent moons. He looked at Shao Xi with a smile, pursed his lips and said: "From the moment I saw you, I guessed that you came all the way here to ask for something. If I guess That’s right, you probably came here for the Meteor Catch the Moon Chain Hammer technique on the stone wall by the Luoxing River, right?”
Shao Xi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wu Qiu'er and the big iron ball in his hand. He immediately understood that Cheng Baiqiu had guessed the purpose of their trip from the first moment he saw Wu Qiu'er.
Most people come to Yingyue Island to learn how to practice martial arts, and when Shao Xi introduced his weapons just now, he had already revealed that the swordsmanship, mind skills and skills he had practiced were all the best. There is really no need to go all the way to Yingyue Island. Besides, the best martial arts on the island have already been dug up from their graves and taken away by Old Wu.
So this time, in addition to solving Lao Wu's matter, the only possibility is to come to study Meteor Qianyue, which is most suitable for Wu Qiu'er's cultivation.
Because the martial arts of Yingyue Island are generally not spread to outsiders, since Shao Xi and others can come to learn martial arts, the only way is the hammer technique on the stone wall by the Luoxing River on the island. No disciple of Wangshu Pavilion has ever practiced this hammer technique. , for Yingyue Island, that set of hammer techniques is not very important, so learning that set of hammer techniques is neither a rumor of Wangshu Pavilion's martial arts nor a win-win for people's love. It is precisely that Wangshu Pavilion can accept it. request.
Cheng Baiqiu saw through Shao Xi's cleverness and knew that what he wanted must be something that would not be easily rejected by him, so he made it clear.
Shao Xi couldn't help but admire that Cheng Baiqiu was really smart, thoughtful and discerning.
"Young lady is really smart and wise. I didn't expect you to see through all my little thoughts. My apprentice has a good foundation, but it's a pity that the martial arts he originally practiced is too ordinary. I plan to train him again, and now I just I was short of a decent hammer technique, so I thought of the set of Meteor Chasing the Moon on the stone wall by the Luoxing River on your island. I know that none of your disciples practice the chain hammer technique, so the hammer technique was left there to be exposed to wind and rain. It is really a waste, and it happens that the weapons used by my apprentice are just right, so I want to come to study. I don’t dare to ask for more, I only ask for a month, as much as he can learn, it can be regarded as a gift for Yingyue Island. Another kind of martial arts I have found has been passed down, I wonder if the girl can agree to this?"
Cheng Baiqiu was also convinced by Shao Xi in his heart. From the moment they met until now, this young man who made him secretly moved has fully demonstrated his flexible mind and excellent eloquence. He can always tell some truth when speaking with this mouth. It’s hard to refuse.
Cheng Baiqiu couldn't tell whether the reason why he didn't want to reject him was because he was good enough, or because of the slightest affection for him deep in his heart. In short, he just didn't want to reject him.
"There is nothing wrong with this. Speaking of which, that set of hammer techniques already existed before we at Wangshu Pavilion came to Yingyue Island. I don't know which senior in which life created such a unique set of hammer techniques. . I have studied the hammer technique carefully, and it is indeed unique. The moves are ever-changing and unpredictable. It is a pity that few people use weapons like the chain hammer, and the hammer technique left by the senior is very profound. I guess, if you are not extremely talented with chain hammers, you may not be able to understand the mysteries of it. Speaking of which, the martial arts that did not originally belong to our Wangshu Pavilion are placed there for those who are destined to get them. Since now this Wu Qiu'er is destined to use the hammering technique, so what's the harm in letting him learn it?"
Through what happened to Lao Wu just now, Shao Xi had already sensed that Cheng Baiqiu would not refuse this matter, because Shao Xi had already analyzed the matter in his mind before coming here. There is no such thing as this chain hammer technique on Yingyue Island. If a person cultivates, if Lao Wu's matter is resolved smoothly, then this matter will become insignificant in comparison. As long as he sincerely asks for help, there is a high probability that he will not be rejected.
Now it seems that, just as he expected beforehand, Shao Xi truly admires Bai Qiu's magnanimity and open-mindedness. A woman's heart is beyond the comparison of many men.
Since Cheng Baiqiu has already agreed to this matter, let's hurry up and let Wu Qiu'er go to Luo Xinghe to practice without further delay. After all, this trip is time intensive and the task is heavy, so hurry up as much as you can!
When Shao Xi proposed that Wu Qiu'er should go to Luo Xinghe to practice immediately, Cheng Baiqiu unexpectedly agreed happily, which made Shao Xi feel a little surprised.
Normally, you have just visited someone else's island, and you didn't have much time to discuss things before. Now you are so anxious to ask your apprentice to go to someone else's back mountain to practice their martial arts. It is indeed a bit excessive, but you don't want to. Cheng Baiqiu didn't think it was rude of them to do this, but he even wanted to take them there in person, with no grudge in his heart.
This made Shao Xi very emotional. She was so pure and kind in her heart, so reasonable, and breathtakingly beautiful. Isn't such a woman what people call a fairy?
Speaking of which, Yingyue Island is not small, and the Luoxing River is not close to Wangshu Pavilion. This river is at the highest point of the back mountain of Yingyue Island. All the waterfalls on the island are formed by this river, and they are also on the island. Main source of fresh water.
It takes at least an hour to walk from Wangshu Pavilion to Luoxing River. When passing through a quiet valley, Shao Xi suddenly smelled bursts of fragrance. It was not the fragrance of flowers, but the elegant and fresh fragrance of grass. Shao Xi couldn't help but Stopping and looking into the valley, I saw large areas of Cymbidium and Angelica dahurica growing in the valley. No wonder there was a faint fragrance coming from so far away.
"This place is called Huizha Valley. Disciples on the island often come here to collect herbs when making sachets. This was Master's favorite place during his lifetime. She said that being here would make her forget many of her worries. The grass here is luxuriant. It is indeed a place for pure heart and soul, and my daughter’s master and senior Guan were buried together in this valley.”
Shao Xi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The faint fragrance was refreshing and refreshing. When he opened his eyes and looked at the quiet and quiet grass, he saw only a few wild flowers. , the colorful butterflies are fluttering, the beauty is so elegant and tranquil, making people become calm and peaceful inadvertently. It is a good place to enjoy the natural atmosphere.
Exactly:
There are flowers and tadpoles along the mountain path,
There is no place in the city without thorns.
Sunhua's poems of the Tang Dynasty describe the difference between mountains and countryside, city and dynasty, fairyland and secular world.
Old Wu was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery at this time, but ran directly into the valley, which made Shao Xi stunned for a moment, wondering why this old guy was running around? But he immediately realized that he was not running around. He had been here before. Judging from his hurry, he must be heading for the graveyard of Shen Linyue and Guan Yucheng.
Shao Xi and Cheng Baiqiu looked at each other and expressed their understanding of Lao Wu's actions, so they took Wu Qiu'er and followed him in the direction Lao Wu was running, and they saw a cemetery not far away.
Here are not only the tombs where Shen Linyue and Guan Yucheng are buried together, but also other deceased heads and disciples of Wangshu Pavilion, including Cheng Baiqiu's uncles.
After so many years, the older generation of people in the pavilion have almost left. From now on, Wangshu Pavilion will have to rely on Cheng Baiqiu to lead the new generation of disciples to protect the reputation established by the predecessors.
Shao Xi looked at this cemetery and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "There have been talented people from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years."
Think about it carefully, life is only a hundred years, is there really any point in fighting over it?
Old Wu seems to be very familiar with this place. It's no wonder that he was familiar with the place last time he came in the dark, not to mention it's daytime now. He was seen heading straight for the largest stone tomb in the cemetery, where he thought it was where Shen Linyue and Guan Yucheng were buried together.
Cheng Baiqiu, who was following Lao Wu and walking side by side with Shao Xi, turned to look at Shao Xi and said with emotion: "Whether Senior Wu is a servant in your family or your master, fine. Cherish every day with him! It is a great comfort to have a good teacher and confidant in your life. Now if I want to visit Master, I can only come here to express my nostalgia to her tombstone, and my Compared to Mr. Shao, you are lucky, your master can still stay with you?"
Shao Xi understood what Cheng Baiqiu was feeling. He was brought to Yingyue Island by Shen Linyue when he was a baby. He lost his master when he was young. He was brought up by his uncle from childhood to adulthood. The happiest and most memorable moment in his life was The time was so short.
In the lives of Shao Xi and Cheng Baiqiu, masters are like their parents. Children who have lost their parents since childhood are naturally envious of those whose parents are still alive.
"Miss Cheng is indeed right. I have watched him grow older day by day over the years, and I occasionally think about it. If one day he is really gone and leaves me alone in this world, I don't know if I can face this alone. Ups and downs. Some people have been around you for a long time and feel nothing. But once you lose it, you will find that the most precious thing has always been by your side. It’s just that you are used to it, so you can’t cherish it properly. .”
When Shao Xi said this, he thought of his mother again, who used to nag him every day. But when the nagging disappeared one day, he realized how precious it was.
Cheng Baiqiu was filled with emotion for a moment, but she didn't expect Shao Xi to understand her heart so deeply that she couldn't help but glance at Shao Xi secretly.
Although he didn't know what he had experienced, he could feel so deeply about what he just said, which made Cheng Baiqiu feel that the two people's hearts were very close, so close that he could feel each other's beating.
At this time, several people had arrived at the tombs of Shen Linyue and Guan Yucheng. Old Wu walked forward and knelt down in front of the tombs, crying loudly.
