The style is different [Comprehensive]

Xie Linyun's plan to curry favor naturally came to nothing if he couldn't identify the tune that Huang Yaoshi was playing.

She can only comfort herself with a sentence that Li Ruohai always taught her in the past: People who practice martial arts often indulge in their appetites, which is not a good thing at all.

Yes, Xie Linyun's love for food has already begun to emerge when she was still in Xieyimen. It's just that she was under the supervision of Li Ruohai at that time, and she was more or less restrained, so as not to be blamed by the master every time. In martial arts.

Now that the time has changed and the master is not in front of her, she let go of her courage.

Helpless, the people who let her indulge in her appetite often do not cooperate, which makes her extremely regretful, so she can only use the extra energy on the gun.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dugu Qiubai, who had been in retreat for more than half a year, happened to leave the retreat and came to her for advice.

Xie Linyun had probably not had a good discussion with others for a long time, so of course he agreed.

Like the previous two times, the two made an appointment to go to the lake to do it as usual, and the time was set on the night of the full moon tomorrow night.

Xie Linyun told Wuming about this and asked him to prepare two boats for tomorrow night.

When Wuming heard this, his face grew, and he said: "At the beginning of the year, the two of you had a fight on the lake. After the fight, the two boats were almost destroyed."

Xie Linyun recalled it and realized that this was the case.

She couldn't help saying with disgust: "Actually, Dugu and I have already paid attention to propriety. It must be that Shangguan Jinhong's original ship here was poorly built. The one I brought back then was not so fragile."

The boat she was talking about was exactly the one she took when crossing, and it should not belong to this world just like her, and its structure was different from the boats here.

But this is also easy to understand. The ships of the Nujiao Gang used the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty, and this place was still in the Song Dynasty.

The times are different, and the level of technology is of course different.

Wuming didn't know the inside story, but hearing her comparison, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a better way to make money than farming.

"Lord of the lake, the boat you brought back!" He was very excited, "It hides a big business opportunity!"

Xie Linyun: "???"

Nameless: "Actually, I noticed before that the boat is extremely fast and extremely strong."

Xie Linyun raised his eyebrows: "So?"

Nameless: "So if we can build similar boats and sell them to caravans that rely on rivers or seas for food, we will have another stable income."

After hearing his idea, Xie Linyun once again felt that it was really wise for him to save this guy's life.

Among other things, it's totally worth it for the fact that he can always find ways to make money.

The only thing she cares about is, with Dongting Lake's current manpower, can a similar boat really be built?

This problem is also an unknown entanglement point, because he is as well-informed as he is, and he is not familiar with such things as ship structure.

"But I know one person." Wuming said, "He is known as a descendant of Lu Ban, and he is the best boat builder in the world. If you can invite him to study the boat of the Lake Lord, he should be able to build the same boat. "

Xie Linyun: "A descendant of Lu Ban?" It sounds a bit powerful.

Nameless nodded: "Yes."

"Then go hire him," she said. "If he can really make the same thing, we can share his profits when it's done."

"It's a bit difficult." Wuming sighed, "This person has a withdrawn personality and a weird temper. He never buys into the accounts of dignitaries and martial arts masters. Back then, Shangguan Jinhong invited him to come to Dongting to build a boat for himself in order to better control the waters, but He refused without hesitation, and changed his residence without anyone noticing, and Shangguan Jinhong couldn't find it even if he tried to find him."

Xie Linyun was shocked: "Shangguan Jinhong was so powerful back then, he wanted to find a shipwright to move, but he couldn't find one?"

Wuming nodded: "Yes, it stands to reason that there is only such a large area in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not a deep mountain or forest. It is impossible for him to disappear in just a few days, so that people can't find it everywhere. Just did it, it’s like seeing a ghost.”

Xie Linyun originally thought that the description of seeing a ghost was very unique, but when he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the melodious flute sound coming along with the evening wind, and then glanced at the peach forest behind him, and suddenly felt blessed, saying: "Maybe this world's No. Is a shipbuilder also proficient in Qimen Formation, Organ, and Five Elements?"

Wuming was startled for a moment, and then suddenly said: "If this is the case, then it makes sense."

"Yes, isn't he known as a descendant of Lu Ban? It's not surprising that Lu Ban's descendants are proficient in these things." Xie Linyun said while looking at the direction where Xiao Yin came from.

Strange to say, from such a long distance, eyesight as excellent as hers, but only a glimpse of blue color, but the maker of Xiaoyin seemed to notice her gaze immediately, and walked towards her after playing the last note .

After a while, Wu Ming at the side also noticed it.

Wuming's eyes moved, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly said: "Master of the lake, do you still remember Yang... no, when Mr. Huang was setting up the formation, did I ask him who his teacher is from?"

Xie Linyun: "...Sorry, I don't remember."

Nameless: "..." OK.

"That's right. At that time, I couldn't see the quality of formations, so I asked Bai Xiaosheng to find some books about Qimen formations for me." Wuming said, "After reading a few, I found that Mr. Huang was in the formations. His attainments in the Fa are truly appalling, so he couldn't resist asking for advice."

"And then?" Xie Linyun really had no memory.

"Then he said that he didn't have a master. He just learned a little from a neighbor when he was a child, and then he studied it by himself." Wuming continued, "To be honest, things like the Qimen Formation and the Five Elements are unpopular. The young master happens to be from the south of the Yangtze River, so I wonder if the neighbor he mentioned is the descendant of Lu Ban?"

Xie Linyun thought for a moment, and felt that there was a possibility.

Although Huang Yaoshi knows too many things, as Wuming said, Qimen Formation is really rare and unpopular, and most people may not be able to touch it in their entire lives, let alone learn it.

Of course, with Huang Yaoshi's cleverness, as long as there is a channel for him to get in touch with and learn, it is not surprising that he has reached the level he is now.

He was such a powerful person.

Thinking of this, she simply waved her hand at Wuming and said, "Go and do other things first, I'll ask him about this matter."

When transplanting the peach tree before, Wuming got along with Huang Yaoshi for a while, and was tortured in every sense. He already had sympathy for this powerful young man, but now he got the promise to get out of here first, so he immediately rubbed the soles of his feet with oil Ran.

Not long after he ran, Huang Yaoshi, holding a bamboo flute, gradually approached.

Xie Linyun was impatient, and wanted to inquire about the number one shipbuilder in the world, so he took the initiative to greet him.

But when she walked around Huang Yaoshi, she scratched her head and didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Huang Yaoshi raised his eyebrows: "Do you have something to say?"

Xie Linyun: "..." Why are you always so sharp!

"Because what you think in your heart is always written directly on your face." He continued.

Xie Linyun was convinced, she felt that it was better for her to give up expressing tactfully in front of this person.

So she puffed her face and blew on her forehead hair, and said, "Okay, I have something I want to ask you about."

Huang Yaoshi's expression remained unchanged: "Say it."

Xie Linyun not only gave up being tactful, but also gave up step-by-step. He told the whole conversation between himself and Wuming when he came up, and only added after speaking: "Wuming and I just guessed like this, and didn't bother to find out about your origin. .”

The last sentence implied a bit of not forcing him to answer and help, which surprised him and made his heart skip a beat.

Then he nodded, and he said yes, my childhood neighbor was indeed the number one shipbuilder in the world who is known as the descendant of Lu Ban.

Xie Linyun: "!" What a coincidence.

He continued: "I also know where he lives now."

"That……"

"If you want to invite him to Dongting, I can write him a letter." He paused, "but I have a request."

It's a good thing to ask, Xie Linyun thought, after all, she already owed him a lot of favors, and it's better to ask for it than to owe another huge favor.

"Just say it!" She said without hesitation, "As long as I can do it, I can do anything."

"You can definitely do it." He stood in the twilight, his eyes were heavy, and his voice was even deeper, "It's just answering a few questions."

"Huh?" To be honest, Xie Linyun didn't think that his request was just this, "Problem? What's the problem?"

As the words fell, the evening wind with the coolness of autumn was blowing from the wide and calm lake.

Xie Linyun looked sideways at the young man beside him, waiting for him to speak.

The ship that accompanied her through time and space was parked at a distant sandbar, and because it was too far away, at first glance, it was almost impossible to recognize it from the uniform water and sky.

Huang Yaoshi's eyes fell on the boat.He was silent for a long time before he asked his first question: "Which ship did you bring into Dongting?"

"Yes." Xie Linyun nodded.

"It's not the same as any boat I've ever seen." He asked again, "Then which capable person did it come from?"

"Uh... It was actually made by the gang that one of my elders belonged to." Xie Linyun felt that since he agreed to answer his question, he had to tell the truth.

Huang Yaoshi knew her very well, so he could tell that she was not lying.

He nodded, and then asked: "Then why don't you go directly to ask your elder, but bother to find my childhood neighbor?"

Xie Linyun got stuck.In all fairness, this question is not difficult to answer, but the answer will inevitably involve the secrets that he traveled through time and space.

She didn't think there was any reason why this secret had to be kept secret, she just felt that Huang Yaoshi would find it hard to believe such an unbelievable thing even if she told it.

Huang Yaoshi couldn't wait for her to answer, but he was not impatient, but calmly said: "Is it because I can't ask?"

Xie Linyun: "...Yes."

"The gang that can build such a ship must rely on water for its living." He said, "But as far as I know, all the gangs that rely on water for their living in this world do not have such skills, even the Tianzi Shipbuilding Division. "

Speaking of this, Xie Linyun finally realized that he had already guessed some of the unbelievable things that she thought he might find hard to believe.

She blinked, a little hard to describe how she felt at the moment.

Huang Yaoshi glanced at her expression, and continued: "Your weapon, your boat, and even your martial arts are nothing like this."

Xie Linyun thought, since he has already guessed so much, it doesn't matter to tell the truth about the rest.

She didn't say it before because she thought it was too troublesome to explain, and the other party might not believe it after explaining it, but now the situation is reversed, she didn't tell it without telling her, but her friend found something wrong and asked her , so is there any need to lie?

"Yes, my gun, my boat, my martial arts, and even I don't belong here." She admitted generously, "I came here by accidentally stepping through time and space, so I don't think about my master anymore." I can't go to see him, and I can't ask another elder I respect and love to help me build a boat."

Although Huang Yaoshi had guessed this way a long time ago, he still couldn't be completely calm after hearing what she said.

He took a deep breath and paused for a moment before asking, "Then will you go back?"

"I want to go back." Xie Linyun said, "But it's not something I can do if I think about it."

"Then what if you can go back in the future?" When he asked, he already knew the answer.

Sure enough, she didn't even hesitate for a moment, and said without hesitation: "Then I must go back. I disappeared for no reason. My master must be worried to death."

Huang Yaoshi nodded, and did not continue this topic, but said: "It's almost sunset, I'm going to make osmanthus drunken crab."

Xie Linyun: "?!" Didn't you just reject me this afternoon?

Osmanthus drunken crab is a very troublesome dish. The trouble is not the crab, but the sweet-scented osmanthus. The sweet-scented osmanthus has to be picked at dusk when the heat has receded, but it has not condensed with cold dew, and it is served with aged flower carvings.

During the cooking process, one has to pay great attention to the ratio of water and Huadiao wine, so as to remove the smell of crab while retaining its umami taste, so as not to let the smell of wine and sweet-scented osmanthus overwhelm the guests.

Xie Linyun was lucky enough to eat it once a dozen or so days ago, and he was astonished. He never forgot the taste, so he has been talking about it for the past few days.

Now Huang Yaoshi finally agreed to do it again, and she also consciously expressed that she could accompany him to pick osmanthus.

Huang Yaoshi glanced at her when he heard the words, but he didn't dislike her for being clumsy, but said: "In the Dongting, the osmanthus trees on the sandbar to the west bloom the best, go there to pick them."

Xie Linyun: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Since Wuming started farming in a hurry, in order to maximize the use of the islands and sandbars in the lake, boats have been parked at the pier of Junshan all the year round to facilitate the people on the island to travel to and from various parts of the lake.

Xie Linyun and Huang Yaoshi went there together, picked one at random and jumped on it, without calling the boatman, they just untied the rope and entered the water.

It was the sunset time when the sky was full of colorful clouds. They stood on the boat and headed west. The lake water they entered was as golden and red as the sky.

Xie Linyun felt that the paddle was too slow, and once again used the kung fu of controlling the flowing water with the strength of a spear.

The boat under her feet was too small, so it was inevitable that her feet would be light-heavy when she accelerated it so much, so she let out a sigh and told Huang Yaoshi to stand on the bow of the boat, otherwise it might capsize.

Huang Yaoshi laughed: "I counted the time in the past, but if you make the boat go twice as fast, you still have to wait when you arrive, it's better to go slowly."

Xie Linyun: "...Picking sweet-scented osmanthus is more particular than I thought."

"You came by yourself," he reminded her.

"Oh, don't be angry!" She retracted her gun and ran back to the middle of the boat, "I just said it casually, go slowly, then I will row the oars."

Huang Yaoshi didn't stop her either, but when she got up with the paddle, she stretched out her hand and said, "Give me one."

Xie Linyun was very doggy: "I can do this kind of physical work."

"You're shaking too fast." He frowned, "come at my speed."

"... oh." Well, the chef is God.

After one of the oars was in his hand, they moved westward at a much slower speed.

The sandbar is still far away, but the setting sun in the sky is getting lower and lower, the rays of light are reflected in the water, and are cut apart by the bow of the boat. The ripples are centered on them and spread out in circles, with a kind of restless tenderness.

When she arrived at the sandbar, Xie Linyun suddenly realized that she watched a grand and complete beautiful sunset on the boat.

The last ray of sunlight disappeared into the sky, the dusk merged, and the fragrance of silver osmanthus on the sandbar rushed to the face.

She followed Huang Yaoshi's faster pace than usual, walked through the outer rice fields, and went to the cluster of sweet-scented osmanthus trees.

Although she came here under the banner of helping, her efficiency was far inferior to that of Huang Yaoshi when it came to picking flowers.

Before the dew, she only picked about 20 flowers.

Huang Yaoshi's expression was not surprising at all: "Very good, much more than I thought."

Xie Linyun: "..." I'm sorry, stop scolding!

"Go back." He took the sweet-scented osmanthus in her hand and put it in the box, "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the crab should taste better than before."

"Hey, I begged you to do it before that, but you said it's not the time, is it because the crab is not yet mature?" Xie Linyun suddenly remembered this.

Huang Yaoshi didn't say yes or no, he just said: "As the master of a lake, you can't even tell whether the crab is fat or not?"

Xie Linyun again: "..."

After going back, after tossing and tossing for half an hour, this meal of osmanthus drunken crab, which she also contributed a lot, finally came out of the pot.

When she tasted the first one, she opened her eyes wide: "You are a god, this time it is really better than last time!"

Huang Yaoshi pursed his lips, but did not respond.

If Xie Linyun enjoyed the meal of drunk crab with sweet-scented osmanthus very comfortably, then the three meals he cooked meticulously the next day made her a little at a loss as to what to do.

"You..." She didn't quite understand, "Why are you so interested today? Is there something good about you?"

"It's unpredictable to be interested in such things." He said, "If you like to eat, just eat more. In two quarters of an hour, you will have to compete with Senior Dugu."

Of course, Xie Linyun did not forget the agreement with Dugu Qiubai, but she still felt that Huang Yaoshi was really weird today.

But this kind of metaphysical feeling is hard to describe, and Huang Yaoshi is a person who doesn't want to talk and doesn't bother to speak. She can't ask why, so she can only put this matter aside for the time being, and plan to have a good talk with this guy after the discussion is over. talk.

The sparring didn't take long.

She is very familiar with Dugu Qiubai's original moves, and after coming to Dongting, the moves inspired by her are more or less a shadow of her or Lang Fanyun, let alone unfamiliar.

Under this kind of unfamiliarity, Xie Linyun can forget himself for a moment when he competes with him.

The two of them fought on the water, with a full moon above their heads, and the turbulent lake water under their feet, filled with water vapor in their breath. After twenty moves, they called the spectators who were waiting on the shore to join in. Hold your breath.

When the moon was full and the sky was full, the two finally stopped, but the lake did not immediately return to calm.

Xie Linyun was surprised by Dugu Qiubai's sudden withdrawal, a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Dugu Qiubai said: "The master of the lake is not calm tonight, it is not appropriate to do too much, you might as well fight another day."

Xie Linyun was startled by what he said, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only follow his advice and temporarily stop.

Because of this change, this sparring ended earlier than the previous two.

When Xie Linyun returned to the shore from the lake, his first reaction was to look for Huang Yaoshi.

As a result, Yu Luocha, Wuming, and even Lin Chaoying's master and apprentice were all there, but Huang Yaoshi was not seen.

She asked Wuming: "Have you seen Huang Yaoshi?"

Nameless shook his head.

She searched around the island, and finally saw him in a green shirt by her yard, holding a stack of papers in his hand.

For no reason, Xie Linyun was a little flustered, she ran over quickly and asked, "Where did you go?"

Huang Yaoshi gave her the stack of papers in his hand, and said, "This is the recipe I wrote myself."

She didn't answer, frowned and said, "What are you doing for me?"

He answered irrelevantly: "Not many people know where Uncle Zhu lives now, so I can't reveal it casually, but I will go to him personally and tell him that you want to ask him to build a ship. He likes challenges the most, so he should agree. At that time, he came to Dongting, so please entertain him."

Xie Linyun understood: "You want to go?"

He was leaving, so he made so many meals for her before he left.

It wasn't a matter of pleasure, it was just a farewell gift.

Xie Linyun didn't dare to accept the menu in his hand anymore, she had always known that he was different from Lin Chaoying, he didn't come to Dongting to live permanently.

But now that he was leaving, her first reaction was still that she couldn't bear him to leave.

It has nothing to do with him being good at cooking and delicious, she just simply hates this friend.

"Do you have to go?" she heard herself ask.

"I have to go to Uncle Zhu." He said in a calm voice, "Don't you want him to build a boat for you?"

Xie Linyun said, but you obviously don't plan to come back.

Huang Yaoshi smiled and asked, "Why do I have to come back?"

This sentence and this smile made her more anxious than the recipe just now, but he seemed to think that this was not enough, and continued: "You and I met by chance, and Dongting is not my hometown. .”

Xie Linyun was speechless.

She has never been able to speak well of him, it was like this when we first met, and it is still like this now.

But she still thought it was too sudden.

The farewell she expected should be something that the two sides agreed in advance, drink three hundred cups of farewell, and look forward to seeing each other again someday.

The current scene is not only completely different from what she expected, but also implies a strangeness that makes her feel that everything is wrong.

"Did I make you angry?" Xie Linyun squeezed the red gun in his hand, and said in a difficult tone, "You act like you never plan to see me again."

"I remember you still owe me a request." He said softly, "The agreement we made before setting up the formation for Junshan."

Xie Linyun's heart tightened, and he asked, "...So have you already thought of what to ask for?"

He looked at her, nodded slowly, and said, "From now on, please pretend that you have never known me before."
