Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

A cold light flashed in front of his eyes, slightly blurring his vision, and the tip of the sword was condensed with a bean-sized spot of light, which dazzled people's eyes, but it was only for a moment, Fu Xiang avoided it sideways, and blocked it with his backhand. Then he slashed out with a sword, defusing Yin Qiu's aggressive move, and briefly reversed the difficult situation.

Yin Qiu walked steadily. Fu Xiang's sword fell in her eyes, but she didn't panic. She leaned back slightly, brushed past the sword blade, and then bent her leg and swept, hitting Fu Xiang directly. under the plate.

Fu Xiang jumped and moved his place, turned around and sent his sword again. Yin Qiu naturally raised his sword to meet him, but did not dodge. Two pairs of eyes that looked at each other lit up.

Even though the fight was inseparable, both of them tacitly kept the noise down, not wanting to attract others to watch. Fortunately, it was already the end of noon, and it was time for the disciples to take a nap, so no one was walking around in the small courtyard. That's right.

Since entering the palace, Xu Lianzhi taught the two of them personally, and they both remembered how proficient they were, so when the other party made a move, they both knew which move it was, and knew what move to use to counter it, but Yin Although Qiu is aggressive, she is really not a match for Fu Xiang. Although Fu Xiang is in high spirits, she is just having fun instead of concentrating on fighting.

But soon, Fu Xiang discovered that it was not what she thought.

At first Yin Qiu struggled a bit, although she was not getting anything good, but she also attacked very fiercely. She moved her hands in a unique way, which was very different from her usual quiet and docile appearance. Holding the sword seemed to be It's like a different person, fierce and difficult, not easy to deal with at all.

And as the time between the two of them prolongs, Yin Qiu also fights more and more courageously. It seems that he has found a way among his opponents, and gradually understands the way to deal with Fu Xiang. It is true that Fu Xiang let her go at first, but later on. , Fu Xiang realized that he couldn't let the water go, and if he didn't pay attention, Yin Qiu would take the opportunity to mess up the rules. As a result, Fu Xiang unconsciously became serious. The discussion turned into a real contest.

"Why are you improving so fast?" Fu Xiang was surprised and delighted, yelling while dodging, "The last time I fought with you was not so good, why didn't you go to Ziwei to teach a new kung fu?"

"You can't tell what kind of sword technique I'm using?" Yin Qiu raised his leg and swept, hitting Fu Xiang's knee, causing Fu Xiang to stagger.

"I can't beat you!" Fu Xiang was furious.

"What are you pretending to be?" Yin Qiu unceremoniously exposed her, "You didn't use all your strength at all."

Holding the sword flower in his arms, Fu Xiang forced Yin Qiu back, gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't I use all my strength? The same sword technique, but you are much more dexterous than me. Did you receive some expert advice secretly? gone?"

How could Yin Qiu fail to see that she was perfunctory to herself from beginning to end?After hearing this, he didn't answer, went around behind Fu Xiang and stabbed Fu Xiang with the hilt of his sword. Fu Xiang was in pain, cursed, and fought back with a sword stabbing Yin Qiu's face.

Unexpectedly, Yin Qiu didn't hide, but came up to meet her. Fu Xiang was afraid of hurting her by mistake, so he turned his wrist in a hurry and moved a few inches away. But his left hand was not idle, he put his two fingers together and flicked it hard, which immediately made Fu Xiangzhen's arm numb, and dropped his sword in an instant.

Seeing Yin Qiu's series of actions, Fu Xiang was startled. Subconsciously, she raised her leg and sent her toes out. She kicked the sword hilt just before it hit the ground. She first slapped Yin Qiu on the shoulder, and then turned over with lightning speed. After catching the saber, before Yin Qiu could fight back, Fu Xiang kicked Yin Qiu's waist with sharp eyes and quick hands.

Yin Qiu's breathing was stagnant, and he fell down with his head up. When he raised his eyes, the tip of Fu Xiang's sword was already close to her eyes, but it was only a few millimeters away, and it was about to poke into the bottom of her eyes.

Yin Qiu's face was slightly gloomy, and he looked up along the blade of the sword, meeting Fu Xiang's downcast eyes for a moment, and the two stopped at the same time, staring at each other.

·

The cold wind blew across his body, blowing away some of the dryness and heat. Yin Qiu was short of breath, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. On the other hand, Fu Xiang had a calm demeanor, breath evenly, and not even a strand of hair was messed up.

At this moment, Yin Qiu's heart is like a mirror.

She really hid her strength.

All kinds of speculation came to mind again, Yin Qiu shook the corner of her skirt casually, trying to get up from the ground, but Fu Xiang suddenly took a step forward, pressed the tip of the sword to her chest, and said in a deep voice: "That move you made just now, It’s not what Yunhua Palace learned.”

Yin Qiu didn't move anymore, sat cross-legged on the spot, looked up at Fu Xiang and said, "Which move?"

Fu Xiang stood expressionlessly, with two fingers clasped together in front of him.

Seeing her move, Yin Qiu didn't comment, and said: "You just made this move, and Yunhua Palace didn't learn it."

The two of them took martial arts classes together in the martial arts field every day, and they were also taught by Xu Lianzhi together. Both of them knew exactly what they learned and how well they learned. Yin Qiu knew that the kung fu learned after entering the palace was far from enough. In order to test out Fu Xiang's other martial arts, if Fu Xiang is willing to pretend to be like her, he will not show his flaws after three days and three nights, so Yin Qiu just specially used the fingering technique taught by Gongzi Fan, in order to catch Fu Xiang by surprise. Fortunately, she achieved her goal, and Fu Xiang's move just now was indeed something they hadn't learned yet.

Not to mention what moves are not moves, just looking at Fu Xiang's reaction and speed, it is enough to prove that her foundation is very strong, which is not something that someone who has just practiced martial arts for half a year can have.

The snow in the yard had already been removed, but the floor was still wet. Yin Qiu sat for a while and felt a little tired, so he moved a few times and leaned against the pool behind him.

She didn't speak any more, and Fu Xiang didn't speak for a long time, the two of them just kept silent for a while.

After a while, Fu Xiang put away his sword, and said with a bad expression, "Test me."

Yin Qiu looked calm and said softly: "Of course you have to test. Who competes with whom is not a test? You said that I can't beat you, so of course I have to see how your kung fu is."

Fu Xiang said: "Don't pretend! I've come to realize that you said so much today, just to fight with me." She was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and said, " Tell me quickly, what are you trying to do with me!"

Only then did Yin Qiu stand up, took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on his body, and said, "Then you might as well tell me, where did you learn this trick just now?"

Fu Xiang stared at her, as if staring at some prey: "You speak first."

Yin Qiu then said, "I learned it from my uncle."

She has a close relationship with Man Jiangxue, and everyone in the palace knows about it. Yin Qiu has Man Jiangxue's advice in private, and it's not an ulterior secret. Fu Xiang naturally knows it too. She looked at Yin Qiu for a while, half-believing Said: "Really?"

"What did you lie to you for?" Yin Qiu had an agreement with Gong Zifan, even in the face of Fu Xiang, she could not tell the truth easily, and could only pretend to be frank and lied.

Before leaving Mingyue Tower, Meng Wugui repeatedly told her that she must be more careful when returning to Yunhua Palace. She must not let others know her extraordinary skills, so as not to arouse suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble. Stopped, but failed to prevent Yin Qiu, Fu Xiang was unexpected about the current situation, and his mood suddenly became complicated.

Seeing that she was silent, Yin Qiu asked, "Why are you in a daze, tell me quickly."

Fu Xiang thought for a moment, his mind was spinning quickly, and he had already figured out how to deal with Yin Qiu, and replied: "Well, I have already learned martial arts before entering Yunhua Palace."

Hearing her confession, Yin Qiu only felt that it was expected, but not surprised. She took a step back and sat by the pool, looked at Fu Xiang and said, "Not only have you learned martial arts, but you have also learned it very well. Among our group of disciples, Few people should be able to beat you, right?"

Fu Xiang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"Then since you have such good skills, why didn't you stay in Mingyue Tower? And why did your father send you to Yunhua Palace?"

Fu Xiang frowned, and said a little discouraged: "My father... didn't know that I knew kung fu."

Sure enough!

Fu Cen really didn't know.

"So you deliberately hid it from him, so what do you want to do when you come to Yunhua Palace?" Yin Qiu was not only not happy when his guesses came true one after another, but also felt slightly relieved.

Fu Xiang didn't answer this question, but asked instead: "You will test me today, it must not be a temporary idea, did someone tell you something?"

Yin Qiu said: "Who can tell me what? You were the one who said big things before. Now I've tried to find out that you have learned kung fu. So what's the matter if I ask you a few words?" Added, "Why are you nervous?"

Since the acquaintance, Yin Qiu has always behaved gentle and demure, and Fu Xiang has never learned her sharp tongue, so he can't help but look at her with admiration.

Fu Xiang snorted and said a little impatiently: "The kung fu I learned by myself, I can say it when I want to, and I don't say it if I don't want to. Is there a problem?"

Yin Qiu was not distracted by her, and said calmly, "I don't care why you hide the fact that you know kung fu. Of course, I don't care. I just want to know why you chose to come to Yunhua Palace."

Realizing that Yin Qiu would not give up until he got a definite answer, Fu Xiang thought for a while, and replied: "I told you a long time ago, I don't care about being the young landlord of Mingyue Building. My father doesn't like me. Even the people who don’t recognize me don’t agree with me, so what’s the point of my wasting my time trying to please them? Instead of being angry at Mingyue Tower, it’s better to come to Yunhua Palace to seek a future. I’m much more comfortable in the palace than in the building.”

What she said was not unreasonable.

Comparing her heart to her heart, if it was Yin Qiu herself, she would probably not be willing to stay in Mingyue Tower. If her father does not love her mother, since she is learning martial arts, where can she not learn?There is no such thing as staying in Mingyue Tower.

Yin Qiu paused, picked up the saber that had fallen by his feet, and asked again: "But you also know very well that you have to go back anyway, not to mention what you said earlier, you will still be serious about the new disciple meeting." Treat me, wouldn't it be a conflict if you come here? You came to Yunhua Palace because you didn't want to stay in Mingyue Tower, but now you want to go back to Mingyue Tower and work hard to worship the master as your teacher. What are your plans? ?”

Fu Xiang was speechless for a while.

In fact, from the very beginning, she never thought about going back to Mingyue Tower. The reason why she ran all the way back to Jinhuai City to recognize her relatives was to use Fu Cen's hand to send her to Yunhua Palace.

And after she came to Yunhua Palace, her first task was to find something for Meng Wugui, so she never seriously studied martial arts, and she never said that she didn't want to go back to Mingyue Tower, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Meng Wugui doesn't need her to look for it anymore, but instead wants her to win at the New Disciple Conference and worship Xie Yijun as a teacher, so that she can return to Mingyue Tower and take the position of landlord. All of this was not her original intention, she just listened to Meng Wugui It was nothing more than Guigui's arrangement, but this made Yin Qiu suspicious, and it became a knot of contradictions.

As for the truth, Fu Xiang couldn't tell the whole story, she could only keep her mouth shut, and she couldn't say a word.

·

After a long time, Fu Xiang finally said: "I have resigned myself to my fate. Originally, I really didn't want to go back, but this time my father got married. After thinking about it, I feel that I still can't give up the position of young landlord to others for nothing. In the past, I wanted to go back. It’s not necessary to attend the New Disciple Conference, just perfunctory, but now the situation is different, so my choice is also different, I will go all out for the New Disciple Conference in August, Xiaoqiu, I’m sorry.”

Yin Qiu was stunned: "It's a good thing to go all out, why are you apologizing to me?"

"I know you also want to get No. 1," Fu Xiang said, "You want to be closer to Master Man, if you don't get No. Dazhou City, I didn’t want to win in the past, not only to not go back, but also to fulfill you, but now it’s different, if I want to become a young landlord, the only way I can do is to worship the master as my teacher, otherwise my father won’t accept it. I went back, and you can't win me by saying anything, so I can only say sorry to you first. "

Yin Qiu laughed: "You're talking big again, why are you so sure that I can't beat you?"

Seeing her smile, Fu Xiangdun felt a lot more relaxed, and shook his head with a light smile, "You have already lost just now, haven't you?"

"Who said I lost?" Yin Qiu jumped down from the pool, walked a few steps closer to Fu Xiang, "Perhaps I am not as good as you in other aspects, but at the new disciple meeting, we can only compete with the kung fu we learned in martial arts , you can’t use other skills, you may not be sure to win.”

Fu Xiang nodded slightly, looked at her and said: "Kung fu is the same, that's right, but don't forget, I learned martial arts many years earlier than you, and my foundation is stronger than yours. The more the same kung fu, the more I can see gap."

"I won't be discouraged," Yin Qiu said, "If I can beat you at a disadvantage, that's my ability, right?"

The cool wind blew by, curling up the broken hair on Yin Qiu's forehead, lining her smiling and confident eyes.

"You have changed," Fu Xiang said, "It's not the same as before."

"People always have to grow up," Yin Qiu still smiled, "my uncle always taught me to be confident at all times, I always remember my uncle's words, and you too, but don't be too confident, If you lose to me in the New Disciple Conference, don't cry."

"I don't know how to cry," Fu Xiang laughed. "You are the crybaby. You cry all the time."

Yin Qiu said: "Yes, I am a crybaby, so what should I do? I feel like crying now."

After she said this, the circles of her eyes turned red for some reason. Fu Xiang stared at her with a smile on his face, but his eyes turned red along with Yin Qiu. Fu Xiang said: "You are a bad person, others plot against me That's all, even you come to play tricks on me, I'm exhausted these days, and I have to be talked about by you after I come back, my heart is dying of pain."

At this moment, deep guilt and self-blame surged out, occupying the entire chest, Yin Qiu burst into tears, hugged Fu Xiang suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, Fu Xiang, I broke your heart , just hit me, scold me, I've never seen you cry, so don't cry, or I'll die of love."

Fu Xiang hugged Yin Qiu back even harder. In her short life, she has never hugged someone so hard. Tears rolled in her eyes, but they stubbornly did not fall. She He said in a hoarse voice: "I won't cry, and you are not allowed to cry. No matter what the final result is, after August, we are likely to part ways. We may not see each other for a long time in the future. You have to remember me." Your smile, I want to remember your smile too," she said, raising her face and grinning at Yin Qiu, "Xiao Qiu, put back your tears."

Yin Qiu suppressed the throbbing in his heart, looked at Fu Xiang with tears in his eyes, and said, "You smile so ugly, you better stop laughing."

Fu Xiang said: "You smile uglier than me."

Yin Qiu said: "Then I want to laugh, so I'll show you my ugliness."

As soon as her words fell, Fu Xiang couldn't help but burst into a "puchi" laugh. Looking at her face, Yin Qiu finally showed a heartfelt smile.

Yin Qiu said: "Fu Xiang, we will be good friends for life."

Fu Xiang's eyes were moved, and he said, "You said this, don't go back on your word."

"Pull the hook!"

"Okay, hook, don't change it for 100 years!"

The author has something to say: I vaguely remember that a little cutie said that Fu Xiang and Qiuqiu were also good, see clearly!This is pure friendship!
