[Comprehensive] Saving Tragedy

11-year-old Liu Liu started learning martial arts again. Speaking of which, Liu Liu felt very helpless. Shutting through different martial arts novels, this is really a big test for her understanding of martial arts. How can I say it? , like Jin Dada’s novels, martial arts is an era when cheats ruled the world. There are no good cheats, no falling off a cliff, and no adventures. In Gu Dada's book, it is a kind of obsession, a kind of talent is more sought after, or in other words, the former one pays attention to the internal and external integration of the body itself, while the latter one is biased towards things such as spirit, energy and spirit. , is completely embarked on a different direction of development.

This is also the most critical part of Liuliu's martial arts that has not been able to develop to a high level. For those who have been constantly entangled with these two kinds of ideas for a long time, it is very good to be able to practice without losing money. I want to ask To achieve a higher goal, you must either focus on one place, or completely let go of these two things and create a system by yourself. It's just that Liu Liu can't go up and down, and her second-rate skills are in the world.

But no matter how Liuliu is, there is still one advantage, that is, in this long-term edification, Liuliu is really solid in the basic part of martial arts, as long as she adapts to the new Physically, adjust to a good state, at the stage of learning, it is definitely much faster than ordinary people who don't understand anything.Many people think that this person should also be regarded as a kind of person with good talent.As for not being able to become a master later, whether it is because of hurting Zhong Yong, or because of his talent being suppressed, anyway, that is all later, Liu Liu has never taken it very seriously.

It was the same this time, since Ye Gucheng let Liu Liu learn the sword, he immediately discovered the difference between this cousin and others.

"You have learned."

Obviously it should be a question sentence, but when Ye Gucheng said it, it was an affirmative sentence, even with a sharp look in his eyes. In his memory, the cousin in the investigation should have no experience in this field, so how did this come about? thing?Could it be that this is a fake?If it weren't for the fact that he has fully trusted this cousin these days, he would have drawn his sword and stabbed this person at this moment, instead of looking like he was waiting for an explanation, and Liu Liu also gave a perfect reason.

"My cousin is talking about my posture? Hehe, I don't learn martial arts, but I do learn to dance. You also know that there is a kind of sword dance in the dance. It was very popular a few years ago. It is the kind that was handed down from the Tang Dynasty. , my female husband knows a little bit, saying that it is very good for the body's flexibility, so I also learned some. By the way, my cousin, I heard that there are people in the world who are famous for walking in the world with that Gongsun Jianwu? Then I If you learn it well, can you also be very good? If you say this, learning martial arts seems to be similar to dancing, and there are some similarities, am I not very good? My husband said that I dance very well. "

Liu Liu’s rhetoric was not prepared in a day or two, and it was very smooth to say, and it followed the topic, and it really danced, with a graceful posture and a certain appearance, Ye Gucheng looked at it, and his eyes immediately closed The original sharpness has become peaceful. He is also a person with discerning eyes. He can tell at a glance that this so-called sword dance is just a painted shape, but it does not have the momentum of a sword. It really is the kind that can only be seen but not used. Speaking of it this way, the cousin's reasons are really correct. After thinking about it, the original investigation of the cousin learning to dance really existed.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Gucheng feels a little more sympathy for this cousin. Since the child moved in, he has seen a lot of things that the cousin will show, endlessly, but none of them is simple. How many things have I learned in my life? Sure enough, it is not easy for a noble daughter of an aristocratic family to do it. Like him, the successor of the city lord, from birth to sensible, it seems that she is constantly learning, learning, and learning again. .

"A sword is a sword."

Ye Gucheng stretched out his hand, and his slender fingers touched the tip of the sword that Liu Liugang handed out. The wooden sword stopped abruptly, and the whole thing flew out.

Yes, shocked, she saw him reach out his hand, but the sword in her hand has already flown. What kind of speed is this?Although she is really a rookie, her swordsmanship is not very good, not to mention that in order to create an appearance that she does not know martial arts, she even abandoned all the ones she learned in Wudang before and did not use them, but this does not mean that she is really good at it. There is no reaction, okay, anyway, she was also a chivalrous woman, and she also traveled the rivers and lakes, and fought with people, so the subconscious reaction is still somewhat subconscious, why is she so vulnerable in Ye Gucheng's eyes?

Of course, what she doesn't know is that in Ye Gucheng's eyes, this cousin is already very good. The moment she stretched out her hand, the sword was not suppressed by the sword energy on her body and fell to the ground. She needed to click with her fingers to fly away. Going out, this already shows that this cousin's reaction still has a heart, this is a person who can hold a sword, because he has the pride of a swordsman, not the kind of soft and useless person who just knows to be afraid.Based on this point, Ye Gucheng felt that he did nothing wrong in teaching his cousin how to learn swordsmanship.

Ye Gucheng is not a good teacher, well, no one can expect such a lonely and cold person like a white cloud to be a good teacher. His so-called teaching is just to let Liu Liu watch him practice swords, repeat Again, let her feel what a sword is, feel the artistic conception of this sword, this is already a very careful teaching, in Ye Gucheng's view, I really put my heart into it, in order to teach my cousin, I recently slowed down a lot of sword practice .

Fortunately, Liuliu doesn't understand everything, she is really a child, otherwise, relying on Ye Gucheng's teaching method, if she is not a genius, she really can't learn it.

For two months, Liuliu worked very hard, just like Ye Gucheng hoped, using his eyes and his own comprehension, and slowly started his journey of learning swords.The wooden sword began to wave in the Ye family's mansion, maybe it was very slow, and it didn't have any murderous intent, but it was the beginning, and even Liu Liu asked about such things as internal strength, what a pity this world Not popular, there is no such thing, the so-called internal strength, in this world, seems to be combined with any kind of swordsmanship or any kind of movement, and there is no separate thing.

What else can the desperate Liuliu do?Let it be cold!Think about how A Fei practiced his sword?Think about how Xiao Li Feidao practiced?Thinking of my cousin who is close at hand, I have nothing to say, she draws her sword, stabs, swings her sword, draws her sword every day, uses the simplest movements, repeats and repeats, and practices constantly to carry out her martial arts career .

This is actually very useful. Although there is no internal strength, the fact that hard work can make up for weakness is common in any world, so when Liu Liu, who started practicing swords with Ye Gucheng every day, persisted for nearly half a year, finally she also slowly. I found out one thing, that is, she seemed to be getting closer to the temperament of this cousin, and found that she seemed to have a different feeling about the sword, holding it in her hand, especially the one she was used to. The sword, in my hand, is as familiar as a part of myself. Perhaps in Gu Dada’s book, this is what is more important. Diligence, integration, and habit. With these three weapons, one Martial arts displayed to the extreme, this is the so-called master.

Like A Fei, at the peak, even Xiao Li Feidao can only avoid his sharp edge. In that state, he respects himself, respects the weapons in his hand, and respects the career of learning martial arts that he has experienced in the past. , is the best interpretation of giving and getting.

Liuliu feels a different taste of learning martial arts, and at the same time, she is constantly increasing her status in this family. Many things that Ye Gucheng handles begin to have her shadow, such as news from the rivers and lakes. As the city lord, she thinks relatively A part that was not very important in terms of the court's movements was delegated to Liu Liu.And from this moment, Liuliu really entered the martial arts world and started her plan for Ye Gucheng's survival.

"Miss Biao, is this... okay?"

The housekeeper looked at the post in his hand uncertainly, and was a little puzzled, what does Miss Biao mean?Why does the same person have to use two posts?

Liu Liu looked at the steward, and she sighed in her heart. There is no way to explain this. How should I put it, she is consciously wanting other people, especially those who may become opponents in the future. It’s just a difference, I hope I can make a little more emotional investment in the future layout, well, of course an explanation is still needed:

"Housekeeper, you know the status of the Jiangnan Hua family. As far as their family is concerned, even the royal family cannot be ignored casually. We can't underestimate such a family. We can't say when it will be useful to Baiyun City. The most important thing is Yes, the Hua family, I don’t believe that such a family has a big business. Their family doesn’t have prying eyes from the imperial court. They are also facing crisis. If they can make friends, they will be able to help Baiyun City in the future. It is necessary to send a congratulatory gift in the name of Baiyun City Lord to the master who is hosting a birthday banquet. Moreover, we still need a heavy gift to reflect our identities, but on the other hand, what kind of person is your cousin? It’s not that I don’t know, if I use my cousin’s name directly, it will actually make people think that my cousin is also an ordinary person? This is not okay, my cousin has no friends at all, if there are too many such things, it is not good for my cousin, especially It's the Hua family. I heard that the seventh son of the Hua family has a good reputation in Jianghu and is recognized as an elegant person. If such a misunderstanding is caused, wouldn't it be annoying, so I send the post with my cousin's own name, and there is no need to send a gift , just send a copy of our Baiyun City's unique flowers, not to the master of the Hua family, but to the seventh son of the Hua family. Firstly, it expresses my cousin's congratulations, and secondly, it can be regarded as a rectification of the name. Thirdly, I heard that the seventh son of the Hua family likes flowers, I also want my cousin to have someone to befriend, it is an invitation in disguise, if the seventh son of the Hua family can come, I think my cousin will be happy."

Liu Liu is also a person who is used to bullying and fearing the hard. She knew that Huamanlou was the gentlest person in the whole play, so she wanted to start with this person. Buffer, it will be easier to talk about many things in the future.The most important thing is that she hopes to let these people know each other before everything starts, so that at a critical moment, if she needs to ask for help, she can have a reason, not a friendship.

Ye Gucheng did not express any objection to Liu Liu's move. Ye Gucheng, who was raised as a future city lord since he was a child, is really a friendless person. He heard that his cousin's purpose was for him to make friends, and by the way, he could complete his own work. The role of the city lord makes him have no reason to object, well, maybe it is possible that Ye Gucheng really doesn't know how this friend made friends.

Anyway, this post was sent out like this, of course, without exception, it shocked some people, such as Lu Xiaofeng.

For Lu Xiaofeng, Huamanlou's home is his home, there is no doubt about it, so naturally Huamanlou's father's birthday celebration, he also cannot be absent, even though he is a prodigal son, even though he likes Running around, but generally speaking, he is still a very polite child, he will not do such impolite things, so, so, this post is in Huamanlou's hands, naturally he will see it too, Isn't it all right now?He took the post and looked left and right, compared the two posts for a long time, then stroked his soft mustache, and asked in surprise:

"Qitong, I remember, it seems that you have no friendship with Ye Gucheng, why is he thinking of giving gifts?"

Hua Manlou is a gentle person, but also a smart person, although every time he goes out, people say that Lu Xiaofeng is very smart, but if he can be friends with a smart person, then he is also a smart person, right?Even, because of family reasons, sometimes he can see such things more clearly, and see more deeply than Lu Xiaofeng who only pays attention to Jianghu affairs.

"If you haven't paid it before, it doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. Besides, the post from Baiyun City is on the top, so the meaning is already very clear, isn't it?"

Hua Manlou, whose eyes are invisible but whose heart is brighter than ordinary people, has obviously seen Liu Liu's intentions behind these two posts. After saying such words, with such a reminder, Lu Xiaofeng immediately understood and smiled. said:

"That's not bad. Baiyun City is lonely overseas. Looking at Xiaoyao, I think it has been suppressed a lot. It is similar to your Hua family in many places. If you look at it this way, if your two families get along well, many people will I can't sleep well, it's really interesting, very interesting."

"I think this last post is an invitation. Maybe you are willing to accompany me for a walk that day."

Huamanlou conveniently added a cup of tea to Lu Xiaofeng, the smile on his face remained the same, but his eyes seemed to see something nearby, Lu Xiaofeng turned his head, looked in the direction of Huamanlou's eyes, and saw When I saw a pot of flowers I had never seen before, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth:

"He is an elegant person, and he is also a careful person. I never imagined that you can know your preferences from such a far away place. You have put your heart into it. If you don't go and see it with such heart, wouldn't it be a disappointment to others? Maybe you can deliver it to me." Nice friend."

Lu Xiaofeng immediately put Ye Gucheng in the position of a friend. It is obvious that this potted flower is worth the price. Of course, in Lu Xiaofeng's view, people who value his friends can naturally be treated as friends. , This is also the importance he attaches to Huamanlou's friendship.

"Just, there is one thing, Qitong, I looked at the gift list, it was a little too detailed, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a man, especially a man with a sword like Ximen can prepare it, what do you think? "

Lu Xiaofeng's heart is very careful, and he can put even the smallest clues. Perhaps it is because of this that he has been troubled all the time, because his eyes really can't tolerate sand. They are not vegetarians, just like Ye Gucheng has an intelligence organization, people like the Hua family also know something about people with similar strength.

"I heard that the City Lord's Mansion in Baiyun City had an extra hostess a few years ago. She was the cousin of City Lord Ye, and she was also from an aristocratic family. If you think about it, that cousin is the head of the inner house now. Naturally, it is a matter of giving gifts. That is the handwriting of the mistress."

Hearing this reason, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, then he smiled very strangely, and said softly:

"I thought Ye Gucheng was like Ximen, but he was a little bit more interesting than him if he didn't want to. This cousin or something really makes people think about it. It's just that poor Ximen, why is he not so lucky? His house has been cold until now, it makes me want to add an extra dress every time I go, it is really chilling."

The two of them were talking, and unwittingly turned the topic to Ximen Chuuxue. When talking about Ximen Chuuxue, Huamanlou's rare words were much less, but they just listened so quietly, and in the end Lu Xiaofeng's mouth became dry. When came a sentence:

"Ximen's murderous intent is getting stronger now. The rule of going out once a year makes him improve his swordsmanship, but at the same time, he seems to be getting colder. But Ye Gucheng didn't hear much about it."

"Isn't he a city lord? He has done a lot of secular affairs, and he is a bit more popular than him. However, as far as these two posts are concerned, I am afraid that what the city lord does is not very satisfactory. Sure enough, learning swords The person who is a monster is a monster. How can he be the lord of the city and be praised by everyone, and at the same time get the title of sword fairy. Poor me, I can only rely on these four eyebrows to eat, it is too shocking people."

"One sword to the west, flying immortals from beyond the sky. These two sentences describe two peerless swordsmen. If you don't go to Feixian Island in the South China Sea, you will regret it yourself."

When Hua Manlou said this sentence, although his eyes were out of focus, they still shone with light. It was a light of anticipation.

When Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng were talking about Ye Gucheng, Ye Gucheng was also struggling at the moment, he found a problem, a very important problem, that is, in the past he felt that the swordsmanship like flowing clouds and flowing water seemed to have something more, He didn't understand what it was that made him like this, as if something was hindering his progress, which made him very frustrated. Liu Liu could see his state clearly and knew why, she remembered herself When reading a book, or reading a lot about the battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng, those other people’s inner activities and descriptions had such a situation. However, there was an invisible constraint on the swordplay, which was the bondage, his wife and children, and his friends, all of which became the bondage in his way of swordsmanship, so although Ximen Chuuxue won in the end, in fact he did. Ye Gucheng's death was the result of seeking relief. To be honest, Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship is better. So in the end, although Sun Xiuqing became Mrs. Ximen, she was not happy at all, and was left out by Ximen Chuixue because In that battle, Ximen Fuxue also realized this problem, so in order to pursue a higher swordsmanship, he once again abandoned these human emotions.

Now, it is Ye Gucheng who has the problem. Liu Liu doesn't know whether to be happy or afraid. What is happy is that such a bond and the emergence of such a problem show that his position in Ye Gucheng's heart is becoming more and more important, or Baiyun City, And her, and this family is becoming more and more important. She is afraid that once this person, who has never known human emotions, finds out about this problem, he will abandon it without hesitation, and give up everything for the pursuit of swordsmanship just like Ximen Fuxue.

"Is cousin worried?"

Now that it has happened, for Liuliu, let’s solve it. It’s not that there is no other solution. After reading so many books and reading so many colleagues, is it possible that he still can’t find a solution? ?She is not stupid.

"You know what I'm thinking?"

It’s rare for Ye Gucheng to want to chat. He really has no one to talk to, no one to talk about, except this cousin, and he doesn’t know who to ask. He has no friends, no relatives, and his subordinates are all left by his parents in the past. Who else could he ask?

"I saw that my cousin's sword has changed."

Liu Liu is very straightforward, looking directly into Ye Gucheng's eyes, and just said with a serious face, a 12-year-old girl, looking straight into a man's eyes like this, definitely needs courage at this time , Liuliu is not lacking in courage and insight, so she is not afraid, and Ye Gucheng also wants to hear it, so he just looks at Liuliu, waiting for her next words.

"The original cousin, there is nothing, just like the wind, erratically following the clouds, so your sword is just as ethereal and invisible, and it is because of this that you regard Baiyun as a partner, so you have Tianwai Feixian, but now, you have seen too many responsibilities, you have seen Baiyun City, you have seen the crisis, you still have me, so you have bonds and fears, and your sword will naturally be incapacitated up."

Having said that, Ye Gucheng's eyes have changed a little, and they are shining. It seems that he has also thought about how such a genius can be an unintelligent person. He just got used to thinking on his own and didn't solve his doubts. It's just the person who made the point, so I didn't think about it elsewhere. Now that someone has started, he can naturally continue smoothly.

"Does cousin want to give up on us? Give up everything? Does cousin know what kind of sword technique is the most powerful?"

A series of questions woke up Ye Gucheng who was already deep in thought. Liu Liu was right. At that moment just now, Ye Gucheng really had an idea to abandon everything and go to the mountains and leave the crowd. Just like this, he was with Baiyun again, and then he practiced his swordsmanship to a great degree, but when his cousin asked him, he immediately put this idea behind, because he heard the question he wanted to know the most, what is the most powerful swordsmanship, which is Questions he's wanted to know all his life.

Liuliu didn't keep him waiting for a long time. The moment his eyes looked over, she spoke seriously, seriously, and even looked at the sea and sky not far away with a hazy look, and said:

"No one can exist alone. The final ending of loneliness is to disappear. Even if this kind of swordsmanship can be strong for a while, it is impossible to be strong for a lifetime. It is like there is no way forward without an opponent. The easiest way It makes people confused, lost, since it can make people lost, how can it be the strongest."

Ye Gucheng narrowed his eyes. He had never heard such remarks, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. At least he agreed that there was no way forward without an opponent. He also had a goal. This goal was not It comes from others, but from other famous swordsmen in the Jianghu. Defeating them is success, the goal, and the direction of progress.

"I have seen many strange things. There was a woman who was about to fall after taking a few weak steps, but when her child was about to fall off the cliff, she could appear on the edge of the cliff in an instant, pulling How did she get over the child? She didn’t know how to do light work, and she ran over by herself without any help? It’s completely beyond human imagination. There is also an old woman who is already sick and dying, but When the house collapsed, she protected her grandson under her body. Such a weak body actually withstood the falling beams. She held on for a day and a night, waiting for someone to rescue her grandson. , Then I swallowed my last breath. What kind of power is this? Why can they surpass? I thought for a long time, for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion that the strongest in this world is not how fast the sword is, but also It's not how good the lightness kung fu is, but the heart, how big the heart is, how big the ability is, to protect, to have someone who wants to protect, to have the idea of ​​​​to protect, then a person can surpass his own limit and become a person. To be stronger, to do what the heart desires, to do what one can, this kind of strength is invincible.”

What Liu Liu said was seen before in modern times, some were on TV, some were on the news, and some were circulated on the Internet, no matter which one she was talking about, she had been deeply shocked, and now she said it, still with a straight face Because she understands that it is the power of love, mother's love, father's love, and the instinct supported by human nature.

"Cousin, you also have something you want to protect. This Baiyun City is left by your aunt and uncle. It is your home. The people in this Baiyun City live by you. They need your protection, and I, I also need your protection, of course I learn swords, so I will also learn to protect you, cousin, Baiyun will also guard, he guards the sky, doesn’t he?”

Liu Liu admits that what she said may be deceitful, but it is indeed the most reasonable, there is nothing to protect, such a person is actually sad, maybe because he is loyal to the sword, he can unite with the sword, which makes people look up to , but this kind of invincibility is ungrounded and rootless. Only when there are people and things to guard, and a source of infinite power, such invincibility can last for a long time, even if there are times of failure.As long as we have such a belief in guarding, we can stand up again and again and hit higher mountains again and again.

Maybe Ye Gucheng understood, maybe he didn't understand, but no matter what, Liu Liu's words still gave him a lot of inspiration, especially that sentence, Baiyun will also guard, what he guards is the sky, which made him He was very touched. For the first time, he discovered that the so-called clouds actually have roots. Closing his eyes, Ye Gucheng thought carefully, his Flying Immortal from Heaven seemed to come out of nowhere, like a flash of youth, like that Splendid, so invulnerable, but if you really want to say it, is it really rootless?No, there is. The root of the sword technique is in my hands and my heart. This is the root. Since the sword technique has roots, is the rootless sword technique I pursue still a flawless sword technique?

Ye Gucheng was not sure. For the first time, he felt that his swordsmanship was not perfect enough. As a proud person, Ye Gucheng did not allow himself to be imperfect. Therefore, Ye Gucheng, who had already begun to feel the loneliness of the top swordsman, started a new attack , he wanted to create another sword technique, a more perfect sword technique.

"Guardian? Guardian swordsmanship?"

"Yes, guarding. I think even immortals have something they want to protect. So should the flying immortals have a second move? Determination is a gesture, and guarding is also a gesture. Cousin, there are mountains and mountains." There are several types of positions, thick, steady, sharp, and strong. Water also has the posture of water. The weak ones are like light rain, and the violent ones are like tsunamis. Well, what about the cloud? What kind of cloud should it be? Flowing? Changing? Loose? Elegant? Morning glow? Evening glow? .”

Liu Liu's words at this time are simply a kind of temptation, which makes Ye Gucheng have to think about it, can't help but think about it, a smile seems to appear on his face slowly, even in the happiest moment, there is nothing too much The expressive Ye Gucheng actually smiled, this is really unbelievable, it made Liuliu a little frightened, but in the blink of an eye, she was filled with joy, she knew very well that her cousin had a new goal.

For such a lonely person, everything is false, as long as he has a goal that can be constantly hit, then he will never feel lonely.Always full of passion.To be honest, the so-called first battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng was due to a conspiracy, which made them have to face it for the sake of fame and pride, and secondly, it was not because of loneliness.There is no other opponent in this world, even if you know that going, maybe it is the difference between life and death, even if you know that this may be the way of the opponent's sword, but you have to go, dare not not go, you can't don't go.If they had their own pursuits and goals, would they still care about such an appointment that was obviously full of conspiracy and calculation?It's really not certain.

In particular, when there is no other opponent, the two people who regard each other as the final target on the spot cherish each other, regard each other as the last consolation, and are unwilling to destroy this final confrontation at will. A swordsman without an opponent is too lonely, just Like Dugu seeking defeat, is such an invincible life really what they want?With no opponents, no friends, and no goals, what else is left in their lives?

This is not what they want, so from the very beginning, this so-called engagement was not initiated by them themselves. From the very beginning, they understood that it is good for them to keep such an opponent, but they are too proud, and there are rumors , I really don't want to explain, I don't want to refute, and finally achieved such an ending, maybe it was loneliness that made them choose this way, maybe it was fate, fortunately, now there is Liuliu, she came, she gave Ye Gucheng has a new goal, and maybe this goal will be brought to others, such as Ximen Chuuxue.

"Go down, I will be on the top of the mountain soon, and you can handle things in the city."

Ye Gucheng opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Liu Liu, there was already a lot of brilliance in those eyes, so bright, like stars, like the sea, the smile on the corner of his mouth has not disappeared, even looking at Liu Liu There was a trace of warmth in Liu's eyes. Maybe Ye Gucheng already knew something, felt something, or had his own ideas about protecting him. Anyway, the anxiety caused by the stagnation of swordsmanship just now , the troubles caused by it no longer exist.

Even the whole person seems to have something more, like popularity?Or it is a kind of relaxation, maybe, the so-called loneliness is not necessarily what he wants, maybe it is just a habit, a habit that is slowly and naturally acquired when he is too obsessed with the pursuit of kendo, In the end it became everything, and now he has something better, a kind of relaxation after reaching the peak, maybe this time he will go to a higher peak.

When Ye Gucheng started a new sprint, two guests came to Baiyun City, two long-awaited guests.
