Chapter 219 The Story Four
Tang Qiuyu chatted with her husband for a while, agreed to have breakfast together tomorrow, got up and led Xia Wutong and Xiaoju upstairs.
The husband looked at Li Ye, stood up and said, "I'll go back to the room first, and you should go to bed early. We'll go to White Jade City tomorrow."
Li Ye looked at him and sighed helplessly: "Sir, is it because I killed a living being in the Great Buddha Temple? Is everything now just a punishment for me?"
Li Ye looked back at him and cursed angrily: "Fart! All your Buddhist teachings have been in vain. You can't even understand this truth! Think about it yourself."
After saying that, he walked upstairs to the inn with his hands behind his back.
Li Ye turned his head and looked at the pedestrians passing by outside the window, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I thought to myself, whether Shangguan Wushuang or Dongfang Yu'er, are they like the pedestrians on the street outside the window, destined to miss me in a hurry and become passers-by in their lives?
Just because going to the Western Region is the most important event in his life, otherwise with Li Ye's temperament, he would definitely turn around and return to Fengyun City in the Eastern Region, be it White Jade City or Vientiane City.
Li Ye sat blankly by the window for a while, ignoring the sadness in his heart. No matter how sad he was, he had to wait until he went to Fangcun Mountain to solve many of his cultivation problems before going to find the young lady.
Things have priorities. Now that both his husband and his wife, Mu Mu, are accompanying him to Fangcun Mountain, he cannot disturb his mood or disrupt his schedule.
He glanced at the waiter sitting at the corner counter and asked, "Please pay the bill for dinner and tea tonight."
The waiter waved his hand and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Huang in the shop opposite has already finished the wedding. The guests only need to go upstairs to rest."
Li Ye was startled, thinking that he owed another favor, but he had to find a chance to repay it.
He lowered his head and pinched the weed flower he picked from Xiaoju's neck in his hand, and walked upstairs with a knotted heart.
...
After breakfast the next day, Tang Qiuyu found the datura she wanted in Huang Ji's shop. Xia Wutong and Xiao Ju were very happy, which meant that they would soon hope to develop spiritual consciousness.
Boss Xie greeted Shopkeeper Huang and prepared to leave.
Shopkeeper Heng looked at the uninterested Li Ye and said with a smile: "If you are not happy after spending that day outside, you are welcome to come to Liexi and I will make arrangements for you."
Li Ye clasped his hands together, bowed his head and thanked him, saying: "The mountains are high and the rivers are far away. We will meet again if we are destined."
After speaking, he took Mu Mu's hand and followed Boss Xie towards the river.
Li Hongxiu looked at Tang Qiuyu and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, do you want to continue to stay in this town for a few days, or will you just take our boat and go to Baiyu City together?"
Tang Qiuyu looked at Li Ye's back, smiled, and said, "I have already bought the medicinal herbs, so I will naturally go to White Jade City with you. I just want to cause trouble to you and your husband."
Li Hongxiu took Xiaoju's hand and said with a smile: "It's just a tailwind, you're welcome."
The gentleman glanced at Li Hongxiu and Tang Qiuyu and said, "In this case, let's go to Baiyu City together and chat together on the way."
Xia Wutong looked at Li Ye's lonely back in the long street, feeling a little sad for no reason.
He quickly stepped forward and took Tang Qiuyu's hand, saying softly: "Master, let's go down quickly, don't miss the trip."
...
If the large merchant ship added Tang Qiuyu's master and apprentice, it would not appear crowded at all. On the contrary, Boss Xie was very hospitable and accompanied Tang Qiuyu, sir, and Li Hongxiu to make tea and chat in the cabin.
Mu Mu took Xiao Ju and sat on the bow of the boat to chat. They had not seen each other for a long time. The two little girls huddled together and whispered.
Xia Wutong sat aside and interjected a few words from time to time, and the three little girls kept "giggling" and laughing. The joyful atmosphere spread to the cabin, and Li Hongxiu and Tang Qiuyu also burst into hearty laughter from time to time.
Li Ye was lying alone on the deck at the stern of the ship, with his purple bamboo hat on his head.
Through the gaps in the bamboo hat, the sun shone in, allowing him to occasionally see the mid-spring sky.
Because he passed by the young lady, his expression became lonely, and he didn't want the happy laughter of the little girls on the bow to hurt the vague wound in his heart.
Hiding at the stern of the boat, facing him at this moment, I found that only in this way could I quietly calm down the desire to stir up a slight disturbance.
It was a two-day and two-night journey from Liexi to the port of Baiyu City. From time to time, water birds flew by on both sides of the boat, making cheerful calls.
With his eyes closed, he listened dully to the chirping of birds in his ears and the sound of water churning at the stern of the boat. According to the teacher, his state of mind at this time was a bit chaotic, and the more he reasoned, the more chaotic he became.
After lying down for a while, he still couldn't find a way to calm down his heart. He simply stood up, took out the boxwood bow, and took out a bunch of bamboo arrows bought in Liexi Town. He drew the bow and nocked the arrow, and looked at the boat at the stern
Sky.
The bow was bent like the moon, and the bamboo arrow in his hand flew into the air with a "whoosh!" sound.
The seemingly aimless shooting had no intention of stopping. In an instant, he shot another arrow, but this arrow was faster, harder, and more accurate...
I saw that the previous bamboo arrow shot into the sky was still flying in a beautiful arc.
The arrow shot from behind caught up with the bamboo arrow in front in the flash of lightning and fire, grazing the front arrow and flying farther into the sky...
"It still doesn't work?" Li Ye took a breath and murmured.
According to his idea, he would use the bamboo arrow from the back to hit the bamboo arrow in front of him. He had been practicing hard for several days, but he still couldn't do it as he wanted. Every time, he missed the arrow feathers in front of him and flew by.
He looked at the sky quietly, suddenly laughed and shook his head.
He drew the bow again and continued practicing, only to see two bamboo arrows flying tenaciously into the sky at the stern of the boat, one after the other, following the same trajectory.
Looking at the arrow feathers that missed again in the distance, he reluctantly showed a smile and slowly extended a middle finger.
He smiled and said: "You are just two bamboo arrows. Are you more mysterious than the falling leaf sword technique? Do you want to stump me?"
After saying this, he looked at his bow and arrow bathed in sunlight, and wondered with some confusion, could it be the refraction of sunlight in the sky that affected his judgment of the arrow path?
In the gap between the sunlight, Li Ye reached out toward the sky for the first time, and this time he saw a trace of dazzling reflected light in the sky.
He secretly murmured to himself, could it be that this flash of ostentation affected his judgment of the trajectory of the arrow? Thinking of this, he grinned and giggled.
I feel like I am worse than the year I spent practicing swordsmanship with Mu Mu in Tianshan Mountain at this moment.
Since there is sunshine showing off in the sky, then it’s okay for me not to look at it?
Why force yourself to see with your eyes when you can't see clearly?
The teacher said that wherever his eyes could see, he could shoot with the bow and arrow in his hand.
But there is another kind of arrow path. As long as your spiritual consciousness can see it, the arrow in your hand can reach it.
It's just that this requires a special bow and special arrows in hand, and right now I don't need to shoot very far...
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, relaxed his mind, released his consciousness, and stared at the sky at the stern of the ship.
He bent his bow and pointed the arrow towards the unknown sky, then loosened his fingers and shot an arrow without a target.
Without letting himself relax, he drew the bow again, locked his consciousness on the bamboo arrow shot into the air, slightly corrected the trajectory of the arrow, and then released Man Yue's arrow.
Two identical bamboo arrows, one in front and one behind, chased the bamboo arrow in mid-air with a roar.
The back and forth were only between two breaths, and the back arrow hit the tail of the bamboo arrow in front like chasing the moon and the sun.
The sharp arrow clusters broke through the arrow tails in front, and the two bamboo arrows fell into the slow Fuchun River after exhaustion.
The mid-spring breeze blew on Li Ye. He opened his eyes and looked at the bamboo arrows falling from the air.
He smiled faintly and said: "After a lot of hard work, I finally mastered this archery technique. I have to find an opportunity for my husband to share my joy at this moment."
...
Mu Mudi, who was sitting on the bow of the boat chatting, saw the bamboo arrow shot from the stern of the boat and the two arrow feathers falling from mid-air.
When Li Ye shot the second arrow, she covered her mouth and tried not to let her screams affect Li Ye's state of mind.
It wasn't until the two arrows fell into the Fuchun River that Mu Mu excitedly took Xiaoju's hand.
Said: "Xiaoju, you just missed a big event. My brother is so awesome. Did you know that he hit the arrow shot in front with the bow in his hand?"
Xia Wutong raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Mu Mu and asked, "What happened?"
Xiaoju also looked up at the sky with Mumu's eyes.
...
Mu Mu told Li Ye that two arrows appeared from the sky, and the back arrow hit the front arrow, and explained it in detail.
He clapped his hands and said: "I have been practicing this move for many days, but I still can't get it right, so my brother's arrow can be regarded as a stunning one!"
Xia Wutong looked towards the stern of the ship.
Xiaoju covered her mouth and looked towards the stern of the boat.
The three of them ran to the stern of the boat together and looked at Li Ye, who was standing blankly.
Mu Mu took his hand and said, "Brother, how did you do it? Mu Mu has been practicing for a long time and doesn't even know."
Li Ye wondered how he should describe the arrow. Could it be that he shot it with his eyes closed?
He handed the boxwood bow in his hand to Mu Mu, pointed at the bamboo arrow on the boat board and said, "Sister, you can try it too. Sister Xiaoju can also try it."
After speaking, he raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed twice, pretending not to see Xia Wutong's gaze, and leaned back to make room for Mu Mu.
Standing on the edge of the stern of the boat, looking at the clear sky, he said softly: "Don't let the sun dazzle your eyes, use your consciousness to catch the first arrow, don't be nervous...
"
Mu Mu nodded, looked at Li Ye, took the bow, caressed the hair on her forehead, and picked up two bamboo arrows from the deck.
Then he pulled a full moon, put a bamboo arrow on it, looked at the sky, and heard a "whoosh!" sound, and the bamboo arrow in his hand flew into the air at the stern of the boat.
She didn't stop, and then she fully drew the boxwood bow. She stopped breathing, closed her eyes, and used her consciousness to lock the flying bamboo arrow in front of her. When her fingers relaxed, the bamboo arrow flew out at a faster speed than the previous arrow.
, the bamboo arrow shot into the air...
"Wow, I really hit it!" Xiaoju clapped her hands and shouted happily.
Mu Mu looked at the two bamboo arrows that fell from mid-air, feeling a little annoyed. She curled her lips and said, "It just hit the feathers of the bamboo arrows in front. It didn't break the arrow body, so it doesn't count as a hit."
