I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

Xie Wuyi was dubious, and slowly bypassed the silk cloth layer by layer. When he saw the bone sword exposed in the cloth, his eyes lit up instantly, and he said, "This is it?"

Shui Jing was eager to prove that he came to Yu Palace today to find him, and urged with a smile: "Don't worry about the scabbard, pull it out first and have a look."

Xie Wuyi put the untied silk cloth on the table beside him, holding the sheath in one hand and the handle in the other, and slowly pulled out the sword body.

As soon as he pulled it halfway, he saw the two rows of brand new notches, and there was still a little powder that hadn't been wiped off in the grooves.

Slowly stroking the two rows of Yu Wen with his thumb from top to bottom, Xie Wuyi's eyes were full of joy, his chest heaved slightly, and his fingers couldn't help but clenched.

"Hey, be careful," Shui Jing saw that his hand holding the sword was not light or heavy, and couldn't help reminding, "This sword is too sharp, cut carefully."

Xie Wuyi pursed his lips and looked at him with burning eyes, which made Shui Jing at a loss for what to do.

He cleared his throat, stepped forward and gently pulled away Xie Wuyi's hand holding the sword, put the sword back into the scabbard, and said: "I used up your sword earlier, so I used the giant shark's fish Gu made this one for you. The finely carved patterns on it are all handwritten by a master, and the blade is still processed, which only took three months to complete. As soon as I got it, I went directly to Yu Now that you are in the country, I went to Shijiu just now to ask you how to explain the meaning of your name, and after engraving it, I heard that Shijiu said that you have important matters to discuss in the morning and may be delayed, so I didn't come to you immediately."

Xie Wuyi still looked at him for a moment, listening to his explanation, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and a smile gradually overflowed from his eyes.

Shui Jing couldn't help being infected by the smile in his eyes, and pursed her lips into a smile.

Looking at each other and laughing for a moment, Shui Jing suddenly remembered something, and said mysteriously: "By the way, you wait."

He turned around and went to the door of the hall and closed it, walked around the hall and closed all the windows, and put down the bamboo curtains rolled on the windows one by one.

After the last bamboo curtain was drawn down, the hall lost all light and became extremely dark.

Baimao didn't seem to be used to the change of light and shadow, so he flapped his wings and flew from the shoulder of the water mirror back to the bird stand by the window.

Shui Jing walked back to the original place, and said with a smile: "Now draw your sword and have a look?"

Xie Wuyi was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He raised his hand and slowly pulled the sword out of its sheath according to what he said.

The faint light suddenly appeared, like a bright moon appearing from the blue clouds, and the moonlight instantly poured out to the surroundings. The sword body was unsheathed inch by inch, and the clear light spread inch by inch. It has already reflected the dark palace like daylight.

Shui Jing had never tested the effect of the pearl powder at Shi Buyu before, so it was the first time he saw this scene at this moment, and he and Xie Wuyi couldn't help but stare blankly.

He heard Baimao suddenly cry, he didn't know whether it was surprise or joy, and then he saw it flapping its wings and flying up to the beam.

The two slowly raised their heads, and saw the two lines of Yu Wen engraved by the water mirror clearly appearing in the light and shadow shrouded on the roof of the hall:

Walk and stop from the original heart, nothing outside moves.

Xie Wuyi stared obsessively for a long time, so long that he almost forgot where he was, but Shui Jing's thoughts drifted back to the fishing boat that night, remembering the scene of "the Milky Way leads the way, and the half moon is the hill".

After an unknown amount of time, Shui Jing was the first to come back to his senses, turned around to roll up the curtains, and opened the doors and windows.

Xie Wuyi was still standing there in a daze, and after a while he remembered to ask, "Why is the shark bone glowing with moonlight?"

Shui Jing smiled and said, "It's covered with a layer of luminous pearl powder."

Xie Wuyi was a little surprised, and took a closer look at the sword body, and said in surprise: "There is not a trace of it."

Shui Jing was a little proud, and said: "That's natural, it's said to be from the master's handwriting, how could you find the clue?"

Xie Wuyi asked curiously, "Which master?"

Shui Jing said: "Do you know Qiongguo Magic Pavilion?"

Xie Wuyi nodded, and Shui Jing said, "He used to be the master craftsman in the Huanji Pavilion."

It was only then that Xie Wuyi came to a sudden realization. In this way, it is not surprising to have such exquisite craftsmanship.

In the past, countries sent state gifts to each other, and the utensils sent by Qiong Kingdom were all from Huanji Pavilion, and all of those things were extremely exquisite and gorgeous, which shows how outstanding the craftsmanship of Huanji Pavilion's craftsmen is.

Shui Jing walked up to him, raised his chin and pointed at the bone sword, and asked with a smile, "Do you still like it?"

In fact, there is no need to ask too much, Shui Jing can see that he loves this sword just by looking at his face, but somehow he wants to ask one more question and listen to his own answer.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his question, Xie Wuyi didn't know what he thought of, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I like it, but it's just..."

Shui Jing was taken aback, why is there a turning point?just what?Not handy, or not used to it?

Xie Wuyi lowered his long eyelashes, looked at the bone sword in his hand and said, "It's just that this sword is good, but my sword skills are not satisfactory. I'm afraid I can't match it."

It turned out to be thinking about this.

Shui Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Swordsmanship is a class, just need more training, besides, your bronze sword has been very good before, why is it not satisfactory?"

Xie Wuyi raised his eyes to look at him, then lowered his eyes, shook his head and said, "I have been practicing swords since I was a child, and I think I have mastered the sword skills I have mastered [-]% or [-]%, but the first two times I fought against you, you did not Even if I use my bare hands to resolve it without even using a weapon, the gap is so huge, even if I use the remaining part, what can I do to you?"

Shui Jing was helpless, and smiled: "Why do you want to compare with me? Shaoyu is the best in your country, why don't you compare with him? In my opinion, even he is hard to be your opponent."

Xie Wuyi pursed his lips, and said: "Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. Since he is practicing martial arts, he must be on par with the leader."

Shui Jing pouted, and said: "Then since you feel that the sword skills you learned before are not perfect enough, you should find better ones to learn."

Xie Wuyi looked up at him, and said: "I have learned the best swordsmanship in the country, and it is not impossible to find new ones elsewhere, but swordsmanship is easy to find, but famous teachers are hard to find. In terms of swordsmanship, if there is no I'm afraid it will be difficult to benefit from people's advice."

Shui Jing frowned slightly, Xie Wuyi was right, but he didn't have any good suggestions for this situation.

Xie Wuyi took a sneak peek at his expression, saw that he seemed to be thinking, bent the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and said, "Since you gave me the sword, why don't you just send the Buddha to the west?"

Shui Jing was stunned, at first she couldn't understand what he meant, then she suddenly got some clues, and then reviewed what he said before, only to find that this person had been laying the groundwork all along.

He couldn't help being a little funny, narrowing his eyes and raising his eyebrows, he asked knowingly, "How to send it?"

Finally, the main topic was brought up, but Jie Wuyi was no longer as comfortable as before. He coughed lightly, showing some caution on his face, and asked tentatively, "Would you...take me as a disciple?"

Seeing him like this, Shui Jing felt narrowed in his heart, turned around with his hands behind his back, pretending to be displeased and said: "I see that others are sincere in their apprenticeships, and none of them are just verbal appointments, right?"

He expected Xie Wuyi's reaction when he heard this, and immediately turned around to prevent Xie Wuyi from prostrating again, saying, "The red tape of kneeling three times and prostrating nine times is unnecessary. Kneeling gives me a headache."

Xie Wuyi was a little dazed: "Then...?"

Shui Jing said: "Besides bowing down and offering a toast to a teacher, shouldn't there be generous gifts?"

Xie Wuyi hesitated for a moment, then said seriously: "It makes sense, I'll go get ready."

"Hey, don't worry," Shui Jing reached out to stop him, shook his fingers and said, "I don't want gold, silver, jewelry, coral and emerald, it's too cumbersome, and I don't want silk, satin, folding fan, calligraphy and painting, it takes up space. You want a gift, I have to choose one that is light, doesn’t take up much space, and fits my eyes.”

Shui Jing knew that these words seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for him, but Xie Wuyi didn't seem to show much embarrassment on his face. He just lowered his head and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he looked up at Shui Jing and said : "Lightweight, compact, and fit your eyes, I really have this thing."

Shui Jing was taken aback.

With such tricky conditions, he can find a suitable one right away?

There are quite a lot of light and compact things, but this "eye-closing reason" is only considered by Shui Jing himself. When he just listed these conditions, even he himself failed to give an example immediately. Speaking so confidently?

Xie Wuyi put the bone sword on the desk next to him, turned around and took out a flat box from the bookshelf next to the desk, took it back to the water mirror and handed it over.

Shui Jing gave him a suspicious look, took the box and sat down beside the desk, and Xie Wuyi followed him and sat by the desk, watching him open the box.

The contents in the box are square, soft and white, looking like a folded handkerchief.Shui Jing reached out to take it out, unfolded it, and was stunned for a moment because of the writing on it.

Not for anything else, just because the handwriting was actually Shui Jing's own.

After a closer look, he suddenly realized.

This is exactly the piece of silk cloth he used to record the score and lyrics of "Qingguiqi" on the top of Wangming Pagoda a few months ago.

"Isn't it lost?" Shui Jing wondered.

At that time, the piece of silk cloth floated down from the beam, and flew away from the top of the tower with the wind. The water mirror thought that it had fallen to nowhere and was trampled into mud and dust.

Xie Wuyi said: "At that time I said that I would pay you a new one, but you said, 'The hairpin left behind will be used for the rest of the day, and the broom is small and precious, and the original is irreplaceable', so I went around after I got off the pagoda that day. I searched for it, but fortunately, I found it before the rainstorm at night."

Shui Jing nodded, and said again: "But I remember it was cut in half by you?"

That day when the silk cloth fell suddenly, Shui Jing was startled when he jumped off the beam to chase after him. The silk cloth was also cut in half by Xie Wuyi's sword in the air, but now it seems that it is intact.

"Well," Xie Wuyi pointed at the center of the silk cloth, "Look carefully here."

Shui Jing got closer, only to find that there was a crease-like fine line in the middle of the silk cloth. The thread material used in this line was almost the same as that of the original silk, and it could be seen that the embroidery skills of the needle users were excellent. It is almost impossible to see the traces of mending.

Shui Jing clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "This embroidery skill is really amazing."

Xie Wuyi explained: "During the war in Sang State, many weaving and embroidery workshops were forced to close down, and a large number of weavers and embroidered mothers crossed the border of Sang and Yu to Yu State with their families, and several famous embroidered mothers also came from Beijing. , I hired someone to fix it."

Shui Jing looked at the pattern, and thought that Sang Country is indeed famous for its mulberry silk embroidery, not only the silk and satin produced are top-grade, but also the weaving and embroidery craftsmanship in the middle school is unique.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard it again and said: "The last time I met you by accident at sea, I thought I would return it to its original owner when I got back from the sea. Who knows... it took until today."

What did he refer to in the incomplete sentence "Who knows?" Shui Jing knew it well, and the guilty conscience that had just faded suddenly popped up again, and immediately said: "Don't they all say 'good things take time'? , it’s not too bad to drag it until today, it’s good, it’s good.”

Xie Wuyi saw that he was deliberately making jokes, lowered his head and gave a slight smile, and then asked, "Then... I don't know if this thing can still be regarded as an 'eye-closer'?"

Shui Jing smiled helplessly: "Can I still say no?"

For one thing, when Xie Wuyi wanted to compensate him for the score, he insisted that "the original is irreplaceable". Now, can he change his words and say that he doesn't like it?

Secondly, Xie Wuyi took great pains to find it first, and then specially found someone to carefully repair it and store it properly. Just for the sake of this kindness, can Shui Jing still open his mouth to say "no"?

Shui Jing knew that she had been generalized by the little prince again, but unexpectedly, she didn't feel any sense of being cheated, instead she was happy to go along with it.

"Then my apprentice ceremony..." Xie Wuyi hesitated and probed, "So you accept it?"

Shui Jing leaned on the table with one elbow, fisted her temples, tilted her head and raised her eyebrows and said, "What 'you' or 'me'? Since you are worshiping me as a teacher, shouldn't this name be changed?"
