Inseparable from the Ancient Sword

After Chu Qi came back from Tong, Chu Qi and Shen Ye returned to the previous way of getting along.But it seems that there is a little difference: Shen Ye finds that Chu Qi is always avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, and his whole body becomes stiff when he gets a little closer to him; while Chu Qi always feels that the master treats him like... More gentle?

No matter what the two of them guessed in their hearts, life still had to go on day by day.Shen Ye corrects documents and handles affairs every day, leading Liuyue City step by step in an orderly manner.As for Chu Qi, he practiced sword skills and learned calligraphy in the dormitory, and occasionally followed his master as a hidden guard.

Shen Ye was actually very busy and didn't have much time to spend with Chu Qi, but their lives were almost completely intertwined, so they spent more time together.

Chu Qi is currently practicing a set of saber techniques.The owner of this set of saber techniques taught Chu Qi last month. Chu Qi has been training hard for many days. The set of saber techniques dances like clouds and flowing water, but every time it comes to the "Shun" move, it feels like the strings of a piano are broken. Kunshan jade is broken, and it is difficult to continue.

What Chu Qi was most afraid of in his life was that his master would be unhappy.Thinking that if he didn't practice the saber technique well, the master might be dissatisfied with him, Chu Qi became extremely anxious, and his movements became more impetuous, causing Shen Ye to frown uncontrollably.

"Stop. What kind of tricks are you playing? Is this how the sword technique I taught you dances?"

Chu Qi hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said shamelessly: "Chu Qi is not talented, and has insulted the master's sword skills. Please punish the master."

"I see that you danced well in front of you, but it suddenly stopped when you came to the move of 'Shun'. Is there anything you can't understand?"

The master was so soft-spoken and understanding, Chu Qi felt ashamed to death.But Shen Ye really hit the nail on the head.This set of saber techniques is made according to Fuxi's gossip. There are 64 strokes in total. The first 49 strokes are like waves in the sea. One wave pushes another wave, and each wave is higher than the other wave.It's just that the move is quite different, the artistic conception changed suddenly, as if thrown high into the sky by the huge waves, looking around blankly, even if there are thousands of thoughts in the chest, it is poured out, and the knife in the hand is hard to continue.

Chu Qi was clumsy in speech, so he nodded blankly and said, "Yes, master."

Shen Ye was not as angry or disappointed as Chu Qi had imagined, but nodded in agreement and said, "It's not your fault. If you memorize the first 49 moves by rote, it's still passable, but the last 25 moves are not good enough." You have to respond to your state of mind and emotion to be able to fully display it. As a puppet, you rarely have emotions, and I have neglected to teach you, so naturally you cannot display it."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ye stepped forward, supported Chu Qi's thin waist with one hand, and held Chu Qi's hand with the other to guide him to perform saber techniques. "This move is very different from other moves. Other moves focus on defeating the enemy quickly, but this move is as slow as possible. Come on... put your waist down slowly... be gentle with your hands... …right……"

Since he could remember, it was almost the first time that Chu Qi was so close to his master.He only needs to raise his head slightly to see the straight bridge of the nose and thin lips of the master, the hot breath of the master sweeping against his ears, the strands of hair of the master intertwined with his own, the master's chest and his own. The backs are tightly attached!Even through the heavy clothing, Chu Qi can still clearly feel the rhythm of the master's heartbeat.It seems to be an inviting dance music, dancing together with my weak heartbeat, dancing the most moving movement in this silent world.

Shen Ye danced with Chu Qi once and started to dance the second time. This time, Shen Ye not only took Chu Qi to familiarize himself with the moves, but more importantly explained the artistic conception contained in the moves for Chu Qi in detail: "This move is called 'Blink': A glance at the blade, a blink of a century. It means thinking and feeling after the vicissitudes of life. When doing this move, you must release your emotions and gather your mind, so that everything in the past unfolds in front of your eyes like a scroll. It is necessary to appreciate the vicissitudes of life with emotions, and to stick to the heart and not be moved by external objects."

The master's voice is really pleasant, like the sound of bells, drums and chimes, and the sound of fairy music, making people feel as if they have fallen into a fairyland, lingering and forgetting to return.It wasn't until Shen Ye finished for a long time that Chu Qi regained his composure, paused for a while, and integrated what Shen Ye had just said into the sword technique one by one.This time, although Chu Qi hadn't fully utilized the power of his moves, he could at least be consistent from top to bottom.

Shen Ye nodded, and said: "Although there are some shortcomings, it's not bad. Let's practice here today, and then you can understand the artistic conception after you go down." Shen Ye said a few more points of the moves, and decided Next day at Xu time, I will come to give advice on Chu Qi's sword moves.

In this way, wouldn't it be possible to be as intimate with the master every day as today!Thinking of this, Chu Qi's cheeks behind the mask almost burned.He tried his best to calm down his excited mood, and hurriedly saluted and thanked him, for fear that the master would regret not coming later.

However, Shen Ye's thoughts were not here. He walked to Chu Qi's desk and began to read the words that Chu Qi had practiced recently.Perhaps because Chu Qi was punished last time, Chu Qi no longer dared to write those poems and songs, and only copied the documents that Shen Ye had approved. It was a lot of hard work.However, Shen Ye couldn't feel happy when he saw it.

His apprentice, his Xie Yi, is the most handsome, innocent and pure, how can he write such a sharp and murderous character?So Shen Ye took a pen and wrote down a few hairpin small scripts and handed them to Chu Qi, asking him to practice according to this in the future.It's just that Chu Qi had just practiced for a few months, and Shen Ye was dissatisfied again.

"Your writing has form but no spirit. Although it looks good, it's just good-looking. You can read the history books in the Hall of Birth and Death this time. Reading history makes people wise. The more you know about the world, the better you will be." You can understand the principles of this world; if you understand more principles, you will be able to understand what happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are." Shen Ye has always been strict with Chu Qi, and although he is called a master and servant, he is actually like a master and apprentice.Now that Chuqi's handwriting is not good enough, Shen Ye is more concerned about handling government affairs than himself.Thinking that Chu Qi might be a puppet with weak emotions and a blank past, so it was inevitable that he would not be able to appreciate the charm of calligraphy. Give some advice.

This Hall of Birth and Death is very special in Liuyue City. It is a literary museum specially set up by the city lord and is directly responsible to the city lord.Without the permission of the city lord or the head of the Hall of Birth and Death, even the high priest cannot interfere with its operation, let alone read the classics.The sea of ​​books in the Hall of Birth and Death is as vast as smoke. There are legends and historical records in ancient times, as well as laws and regulations and revised official history of Liuyue City for thousands of years. A variety of miscellaneous classics, poems and songs.This is the center of culture and the lifeblood of inheritance.Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Hall of Birth and Death is the most important institution in Liuyue City!

In order for Chu Qi to practice calligraphy, Shen Ye specially arranged him in the Hall of Birth and Death, which shows how much Shen Ye attaches importance to Chu Qi.But Chu Qi's elm-headed head may not be able to understand the twists and turns. He just followed Shen Ye's instructions and soaked in the Hall of Birth and Death every day, carefully reading the historical books and classics in it.

At this time, Chu Qi took "The Story of Liuyue City" and read it carefully: "In ancient times, a catastrophe swept the earth. The Tianzhu of Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the sky was cracked, the rain never stopped, and the flood was endless. Rest. Shennong went to a sky crack in the northwest, built the Liuyue City based on the sacred tree, and used it as a base to guide the gods to refine five-color stones with spiritual power and hand them over to Nuwa to mend the sky.

It took a long time to mend the sky, and the people of the human world suffered heavy casualties.There is a tribe named Lie Shan, who believes in the Emperor Shennong, has a long lifespan and is good at controlling aura.The people of Lieshan tribe couldn't bear to lose their lives, so they asked to come to Liuyue City to help.Sensing his red city, Shennong readily agreed, so he sealed a drop of divine blood into the jumu, so that the power of life contained in it would radiate through the branches and leaves of the jumu, so that the people of Lieshan tribe could live without drinking or eating.

After the catastrophe, the turbid air in the human world overflowed, and many people died of illness. Fortunately, Liuyue City lived for nine days, and the turbid air was thin. Shennong ordered Lie Shanbu to temporarily live in the city until he found another suitable place to live.

Since then, Liuyue City has stayed in Beijiang to attend classes.The city is severely cold all the year round, and there are few plants and trees. When you look around, you can only see luxuriant trees and snowy fields, and there is no limit to desolation.The people of the Lieshan tribe built a majestic temple, praying day and night in it, hoping that the god will return as soon as possible. "

Chapter 1 of this book is about the origin of Liuyue City, and it also involves the ancient gods and prehistoric events. The entire text was reduced to one sentence: "It turns out that the master is a descendant of Shennong! The master is indeed very powerful!"

……

It will take time for Chuqi to meet Shen Ye's expectations...
