After Wei Jing brought Yuqin into the inner courtyard, many people immediately greeted Wei Jing. Wei Jing also nodded or smiled and said hello. Many people also noticed Yuqin, their eyes widened, like I saw something incredible.
The Sima family is headed by the clan leader, with seven heads under it, and the following are the diners. Among them, those who have a residence at the head of the Sima family have a higher status than other diners. They usually have outstanding talents or are recommended by the head or clan leader. Check in.
This quadrangle is a five-entry courtyard with many rooms. The sect leader and the chief minister live in the main room. Wei Jing and Ren Qianyun live in the east and west wings respectively. The other four heads have families to return to and only live here temporarily when needed. The rest The main room and the side rooms were left empty for emergencies. The diners lived in the wing room separately, while the servants and kitchen helpers lived in the back room.
At this time, a middle-aged man came forward with a mustache on his face. He was about forty years old. He smiled and said to Wei Jing: "Second brother, why are you back suddenly? Have you eaten?"
Without waiting for Wei Jing to reply, he immediately noticed Yuqin and asked, "Who is this girl?"
Wei Jing smiled and said: "Brother, she is the Yuqin girl, and she is a talented person with superb piano skills. I would like to recommend her to join the Sima family."
Yuqin then bowed and saluted: "I've met the master."
The big boss smiled and said: "My lord, Sima Yu, you don't need to be polite. To be valued so much by the second brother, you must be special. When the girl comes here, she must be unfamiliar with the place, so she will inevitably feel uneasy. Second brother, you go first Take her down to have a good rest, and you can talk to me in detail about getting started later."
Yuqin saw that he was cheerful and generous, with a pleasant smile, and felt that this man was quite kind, so he replied: "Thank you, Master."
Wei Jing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find the sect leader after I've settled Miss Qin."
At this time, the conversation between the two men came to Wei Jing's ears. One of them said: "Here, we agreed on two taels of silver."
He stretched out his hand and handed the silver coins to the other party. The other person took the silver coins and then said to Wei Jing with a smile: "Thank you, Second Master!"
Wei Jing felt strange, why should he thank me if he won the bet?
This person is Zuo Siyuan, a diner living here, who is a master of disguise. Zuo Siyuan said with a smile: "I once made a bet with Brother Zhang to see whether the first diner brought back by the second master is a boy or a girl. This is a lucky break for me."
Yu Qin was just wondering why the head of the house said that Wei Jing valued her when they met. It turned out that Wei Jing said that he could bring him into the house, but did not say that he had never brought anyone else into the Sima family.
Wei Jing said angrily: "Then you can give me some of these two taels of silver?"
Zuo Siyuan smiled and said, "Second Master, please spare me."
After saying that, he walked away. The man named Zhang just smiled bitterly, nodded slightly to Wei Jing and said hello, and then followed.
It turns out that although the seven masters have the right to bring people in, they all have their own styles in doing things. Some of the masters have a wide network of friends, while some are solitary and rarely bring people in. Wei Jing has only been the second master for three years, so He doesn't particularly like to socialize with others, so Yuqin is the first person he brings.
At this time, Wei Jing was about to take Yuqin to the west wing, when he saw an old man with a white beard and a green robe, with a solemn expression, walking from the main room to the inner courtyard. As soon as Wei Jing saw him, he secretly screamed something bad, and said first, "Sect Master, this is Miss Yuqin. This time she..."
Before he finished speaking, Sima Sect Leader said: "Li'er, you are back. If you have anything to say, we can talk later. Let's have a fight first."
Yu Qin was stunned for a moment, and Wei Jing was even more helpless. Sima Yu looked at Wei Jing sympathetically, as if to say: "Just admit it."
Everyone on the sidelines was very excited when they heard this. It would be a great show to see the sect leader fighting against the second master, and they all followed the two people to the backyard.
Sima Yu whispered next to Yuqin: "The sect master loves swordsmanship with the second son. Whenever the second son returns home from a long trip, the first thing he does when they meet is to fight first."
Yuqin smiled and said: "Yes, I was just thinking about why Mr. Wei didn't let Sima Sect Leader speak."
Sima Yu smiled and said: "The second child took the lead, but I didn't know that the sect leader was still more skilled."
Arriving at the backyard, Sima Yu, Yu Qin and a dozen diners and servants were standing aside to watch the showdown between the sect leader and Wei Jing. I saw Sima Sect Master holding the sword above his head with one hand, pointing it at Wei Jing, making a sword formula with the other hand, and said loudly: "Li'er, this time just attack with all your strength!"
Wei Jing also held a sword to establish a portal, and then replied: "Yes!"
But in my heart I thought: "When has it not been possible for me to use all my strength?"
Seeing Wei Jing getting into his stance, the sect leader thrust out his sword and headed up the road. Wei Jing turned sideways to avoid it, and then stabbed him back with the meteor sword "Flying Stars Chasing the Moon".
I saw the sect master's unique movement, staggering and dodging the sword, and then the long sword slashed continuously. The sword came left and right, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, as if a drunken man was swinging the sword wildly. However, this seemingly random swordsmanship is actually very sharp.
Wei Jing backed away while blocking the attack. He knew in his heart that this was the "East Wind Drunken Sword" that the sect leader was good at. He had seen this sword technique at Baili's house, but only a few of it.
With a thought in his mind, Wei Jing weaved layers of sword nets in the gaps of the Drunken Sword. The Drunken Sword was blocked every time he swung it halfway. The sect leader said, "Huh?"
With a sound, the sword edge turned from bottom to top, just like picking up the leaves on the ground with a sword, which was a move of "drunk picking flowers".
Wei Jing remained unmoved and just followed the path of his opponent's sword and weaved a sword net again. The sect leader's drunken sword strikes repeatedly, but he still couldn't break through the sword net. Seeing an opportunity, Wei Jing closed the sword net and then sharpened his sword. The sect leader was heartbroken. Thinking: "It's this swordsmanship again."
Sima Sect Master and Wei Jing had sword duels many times, and had also seen the quick sword with a touch of water. Now he was moving freely, moving freely in the fast sword like a storm. This was the drunken sword movement technique of "being drunk for a long time", and everyone Seeing that Wei Jing's sword was like a rushing rain, but the sect leader seemed to be walking in the rain without getting a drop of water, some people started to cheer loudly.
Upon seeing this, Wei Jing's quick sword turned into stabbing, teasing, and slashing. His posture was like a painter's freehand strokes on the drawing paper. It turned out that he saw that the sect master's footwork was arbitrary and there was no fixed method, so he swung the sword as he pleased.
The sect leader saw that his opponent's sword had no trace at this time. If he moved as he pleased, he would hit his opponent's sword in a few moves. With a change of thought, the sword went straight up and down. The path of the sword was wide open and closed, bold and unrestrained. It was exactly The drunken swords "singed to each other while drinking". At this time, the swords in the hands of the two men finally clashed brilliantly, and the sound of gold and iron jingled.
The leader of the clan got excited. Out of a sudden thought, he said: "Girl, can you play a song for us?"
While the two were fighting fiercely, the sect leader spoke calmly and without any disturbance, which showed that his skills were extremely pure.
Yuqin just saw the two men making loud sounds of swords, which seemed to have a rhythm, and suddenly felt something in her heart. At the same time, the sect master asked for music, so he sat on the ground and took out the "Feng Ming" from his back. As his jade hands moved, the sound of the piano accompanied the swords.
It turned out that the two men used swordsmanship at this time, both of them were using free and easy swordsmanship. The swordsmanship of the two men was so exciting that everyone present felt a surge of energy coming towards them, and they had forgotten to cheer.
However, Yuqin has superb piano skills and is very sensitive to the surrounding atmosphere. Immediately stimulated by this awe-inspiring sword energy, inspiration suddenly occurred.
They could only hear the cheerful and melodious sound of the piano, which seemed to echo the sound of the sword. Under the blending of the piano and the sword, everyone could no longer tell whether it was the sound of the piano that led to the sound of the sword, or the sound of the sword that affected the sound of the piano. Only then did many people discover that the Sima family did not know when A beautiful Qin Ji came.
The two swords fought for ten more moves. At this time, the sound of the piano gradually faded away. The two men suddenly put away their swords and took a step back. At the same time, the sound of the piano finally subsided and could no longer be heard.
Everyone woke up from a dream, but they had nothing to say. They only felt the sound of the piano and sword still in their ears. Only Sima Yu was the first to touch his palms and exclaimed: "Okay! It's really brilliant and brilliant!"
What is exciting is the sword fight, and what is brilliant is the music of the piano. When everyone heard the voice of the leader, they came to their senses and applauded. At this time, someone asked loudly: "Who won in the end?"
Wei Jing was seen smiling without saying a word. Sect Master Sima held his sword behind his back and said slowly: "In this sword showdown, we can't decide the winner or loser."
His expression was still as solemn and inviolable as when they met just now, but his voice was slightly happy.
As soon as these words came out, everyone started talking. Some people said: "The second master and the sect leader actually ended up in a tie?"
Another person said: "I think the sect leader didn't use his full strength!"
Another person said: "Is the second master more powerful than before?"
Someone else asked: "Who is that girl playing the piano?"
At this time, Wei Jing had just sheathed his sword and walked towards the sect master. Sima sect leader said to Yuqin: "The girl composed the music on the spot, but the sound of the piano is still melodious and moving, and the artistic conception is sublime. I admire you. Will the girl stay in the Sima family and be a guest?"
