I respect him so fragrant

Chapter 22 Night Fishing

Since the last time he quarreled with Immortal Jingyang and was "reported" by his apprentice, Xie Yao's confinement time was successfully extended for one month.

Fortunately, he was in a good mood, and he didn't feel ashamed to be "reported" by his apprentice, but it was boring to stay in Shuiyue Jingtian all day.In the past, when he was bored, he would drink or sneak to Hongfeng Residence to chat with Senior Brother Jiaoyue.But now, he has new hope.

The setting sun was slanting, and the lake was dyed dimly. Xie Yao sat on the railing of the bamboo bridge, throwing stones into the lake bored.Ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, which disturbed the two birds that strayed in. In the confusion, he looked sideways at the only path leading to Shuiyue Jingtian, and thought, "Why don't you come here?"

After a long time, a familiar figure finally appeared at the intersection.Seeing this, Xie Yao smiled, climbed over the railing and greeted him directly, and said loudly as he walked: "I said you, why did you come? Let me wait for a long time."

Jiang Gu was dressed in black and his hair was a little disheveled, with a rather helpless look on his face: "It's not that I have spent a lot of effort to find the spirit bamboo requested in the master's letter."

"Respect if Lingzhu can do it, anyway, it has a serious name, what is it called?"

"No matter what it's called, I've already made it for you anyway." Jiang Gu shook his head helplessly, and handed the finished fishing rod to Xie Yao, "Master, let's figure it out."

Last night when he was about to turn off the lights at Xingchang Ming Residence, a little folded paper figurine ran in, hugged his leg and yelled a letter from Shuiyue Xianzun.He picked up the little paper figurine, and found that the little paper figurine turned into a piece of paper. The words on the paper were eloquent. The first half was all about how boring the days of confinement were, and the second half was tentatively asking if it could be a fishing rod. Send it over, and attach a lot of pictures and texts to show the materials used.

He originally planned to ignore it, but this morning, he changed his clothes by accident, picked up the life sword and the letter paper on the table, and walked back to the mountain.

Xie Yao took the fishing rod, looked it over carefully, and then said in surprise: "Jiang Gu, your craftsmanship is quite good, this fishing rod is beautifully made."

"Master likes it." Jiang Gu responded flatly, turned around and left, "I'll go back first."

"Hey, do you have anything to do tonight?" Xie Yao quickly asked, "If there is nothing, would you like to go fishing with me at night?"

"Night fishing?" Hearing such a strange word for the first time, Jiang Gu couldn't help turning his head, "What is this?"

Xie Yao put away the fishing rod, and walked in front of him with his hands behind his back, with a proud look on his face: "You don't know it at first glance. The so-called night fishing, as the name suggests, is fishing at night. This strange method of fishing is taught by my master Shuo Yue." Created by the Immortal Venerable, it is said that it has the effect of purifying the mind and cultivating the body. How about it, do you want to learn? You stay and I will teach you."

"Not really."

"..."

"The light is not good at night, Master, it's better to switch to the daytime." Jiang Gu persuaded, and then continued to walk back.

"It's a long day, and I have other things to do."

Jiang Gu stood still again: "What's important, Master?"

Even if you can't help yourself, there is no need for this god to deal with the big and small matters in the door.

"Is this..." Xie Yao thought for a while, and instead of revealing the fact that he was going to sleep during the day, he pretended to be mysterious and said, "Recently, I have been studying a book of swordsmanship, and its moves are exquisite and superb, which is really good .”

After he finished speaking, he counted silently in his heart, one, two, three.

Sure enough, Jiang Gu immediately turned around and walked in front of him, his expression half hesitant and half curious: "Dare to ask Master, what is the name of this sword art?"

Xie Yao smiled triumphantly: "Want to know?"

"Ah."

"Fishing with me at night, I'll tell you."

"..."

The clear glow on the bamboo bridge was all over the place, the lake was shimmering, and it was alluring. In the night, Xie Yao prepared all the equipment for night fishing, picked a suitable place, and set up two small benches. He and Jiang Gu each had one .

"How is it? Is the fishing environment good?" Xie Yao took out a lantern with weak light and put it aside, "You also like quietness."

"It's okay, it's just that the master...cough cough cough"

Before Jiang Gu finished speaking, he was choked by the lime powder that hit his face and coughed for a while.He barely squinted his eyes, and found that Xie Yao had sprinkled a large circle of lime around him at some point, and it was all white, which looked extremely exaggerated.

What is this doing?

Seeing that the apprentice was "accidentally injured" by his own carelessness, Xie Yao had a look of shame on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I slapped it too hard."

"Why lime?"

"Mosquito repellent." Xie Yao smiled awkwardly, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. Although I'm not afraid of anything, I'm afraid of these little mosquitoes. Seeing them close up makes my skin crawl."

... It was the first time that Jiang Gu heard that the Immortal Venerable revealed his shortcomings, and Jiang Gu was not used to it, and he didn't know how to respond.

After hesitating again and again, he chose to move the small bench a little farther away from the lime circle, which was his default.

""Hanjiang Sword Art"-created by the first Patriarch of the Hanjiang Clan, and later revised and refined by the Patriarch of the Hanjiang Clan, it is considered to be one of the best sword arts in the world."

The moon was bright and the stars were thin, Xie Yao's voice was like a breeze blowing across the water: "But this thing is ruined in my hands, and I don't think much about it on weekdays. I didn't find it until these few days when I was grounded."

Jiang Gudao: "Does Master dare to keep things from the Hanjiang clan?"

"Then why don't you dare?" Xie Yao smiled, "Could it be that you are still afraid of that mysterious prophecy, what's the 'Lonely Shadow on the Cold River, build a square to death'?"

"It's not scary to be afraid, it's just what people say."

"The Hanjiang clan died because of its arbitrariness, and the prophecy was just a gimmick for the people to vent their anger. Since ancient times, heroes have never asked where they come from. "Hanjiang Sword Art" is a good sword art. Apart from its background, there is still a lot to learn."

"Then what did Master learn from it?" Jiang Gu was a little curious.

"Not yet." He didn't even look carefully.

...Jiang Gu suddenly felt that he had been tricked.

But they were already here, and he couldn't leave without throwing the pole, so he could only continue to sit.

"However, the ninth form of the moon-wanting swordsmanship you are learning now is very similar to the sixth form."

"Far mountains and near rivers?" Jiang Gu was taken aback.He has never been able to understand this move.

"Yes." Xie Yao looked up at the moon, and said thoughtfully, "You asked me before why you couldn't practice this move well, and I'll tell you it's because you learned it too fast. There is one thing - there are too few things you can refer to. Practicing swordsmanship is like doing a problem, of course you can’t always practice repeatedly, and you have to find two reference books to sort out your ideas and find the tricks.”

Xie Yao thought for a while and said: "I will show you the sword technique later, you can see it, but don't practice it. If you want to practice a new sword technique, I will find you a suitable one."

"Thank you, Master." Jiang Gu stood up and said respectfully.

There was a slight noise, but before he could react, Xie Yao had already picked up the dropped jade pendant, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully: "Jade is a good jade, and it took a lot of effort when I repaired it for you. I heard Did your mother leave it to you?"

"Yes." When mentioning his mother, Jiang Gu's expression was gentle, "This jade pendant is the only thing my mother left me."

Xie Yao nodded, and asked again: "What about your father? Didn't you leave anything?"

Jiang Gu was silent for a while: "Father...is very strange to me, I haven't seen him much."

...How can I restrain my feet, I am good at which pot I can't open and which pot I can lift?

Xie Yao was a little annoyed, and quickly comforted him: "It's all right, I have no father or mother, and I was brought up by my master alone. There is an old saying that 'a teacher for a day is a father for life', if you don't mind, Treat me as, as..."

father?

what the hell!

When Jiang Gu heard the words, his sharp eyes swept straight at him, Xie Yao shut up quickly, he just wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in.

This is no consolation, it is clearly courting death.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and the two of them fell silent.

At midnight, the fishing rod finally moved.Xie Yao was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, but he immediately woke up as soon as he saw the action, and hurriedly called the people next to him to get up, but no one responded.He looked again, and found Jiang Gu on the bench and all around.

Probably felt that night fishing with him was too boring, so he left.

Feeling disappointed for a while, Xie Yao snorted softly, and said to himself: "I caught this fish, and those who run away get no points."

He picked up the fishing rod and began to reel in the rod.I didn't expect this fish to be quite strong, after three or five times of training, he still couldn't exhaust his strength, but it made him burnt out.

As soon as the person panicked and let go, the fishing rod fell to the ground. Seeing that it was about to be taken into the water by the fish, a hand suddenly appeared and firmly grasped the tail of the fishing rod, which saved it from suffering.

It's just that the fish got away.

Xie Yao was inexplicably angry, raised his voice and said to Jiang Gu: "Where did you go? Why didn't you say something when you left? You could have caught fish!"

Seeing that he lost his temper, Jiang Gu felt a little overwhelmed, so he stretched out his right hand to reveal the cloak on it, and said softly: "Seeing Master, you are asleep, I want to take a cloak...for you."

The anger in Xie Yao's heart disappeared immediately.

You fell asleep, you dropped the rod, you lost the fish, it’s all your fault, why are you angry at others?

He lowered his eyelids and hummed lightly.

"Master, go to sleep, I will catch fish for you." Jiang Gu didn't say anything more, just handed the cloak to Xie Yao, sat on the small bench by himself, re-baited the hook, and watched quietly.

Xie Yao stood on the spot, looking at the back of the person in front of him, feeling mixed feelings in his heart, and it was hard to say for a while.

"Master."

"Jiang Gu."

After a while, both of them spoke together.

"You go ahead." Xie Yao took a step back.

"The spirit bamboo Master told me to find, isn't it called 'Worldly Love'?"

"Yes, that's the name."

After getting an affirmative answer, Jiang Gu nodded and continued: "Then what does Master want to ask me?"

Xie Yao hesitated for a while, then whispered, "Do you want to go down the mountain?"

"What?" Jiang Gu Wenyan turned his head in disbelief, "Going down the mountain?"

Article 110 of the Wanyuemen Discipline: No one is allowed to go down the mountain without an order from the head of the gate.

"I want to take you to see the world, which can be regarded as taking you to practice." Xie Yao said seriously, "The 'worldly romance' on Wanyue Fairy Mountain is just a kind of spiritual bamboo used to make fishing rods, but the real worldly romance is Like this lake, it covers everything. I hope you know the former and experience the latter.”

"I'll take you there, do you want to go?"

Just like the last Lantern Festival, Xie Yao asked.
