Chapter 53: Yan Nantian invites the moon 1
Yan Nantian stayed in the South China Sea until he was 17 years old before he really went to the Central Plains.
When he left, he didn't have an accurate understanding of how well he practiced his sword.
But this is not his fault. After all, the swordsmen he has come into contact with over the years, whether it is Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuuxue, or cold-blooded Xiao Wangsun, are all geniuses who have almost reached the peak of swordsmanship, so that he can only take These people compare themselves with themselves and always feel that they have not practiced enough.
And it was precisely because Ye Gucheng knew his idea that he offered to let him go to the Central Plains to practice.
"It's very difficult to make progress by working behind closed doors all the time," he said.
"What Uncle Ye said is true." Yan Nantian thought it made sense.
Knowing that he was going to the Central Plains, although Shen Bijun was a little bit reluctant, he was quite supportive.Besides, she actually knows exactly what kind of fame Yan Nantian can achieve.
But before he left, Shen Bijun still asked him one thing very earnestly: "Since you are going to the Central Plains, it happens that Xiaoyue's birthday will be three months later, please help me bring her a gift."
Yan Nantian snorted, then scratched his head worryingly and said, "Then what am I going to give my sister?"
Shen Bijun: "...The Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, you can take a look at what novelties you have when you arrive!"
In any case, Shen Bijun was very satisfied with the awareness of giving a gift.
What he was most reluctant to leave South China Sea was actually Ye Yunjian. On the day he left, one big and one small stood by the pier and talked for a long time.
Until he got on the boat, he was still waving his little hand on the shore and refused to leave, so Shen Bijun and Ye Gucheng could only stand with him, watching the boy and the boat slowly leave Feixian Island.
"Practice your sword well, and when your elder brother becomes so powerful, you can join him in the rivers and lakes." Shen Bijun patted his son on the head and said.
Ye Yunjian nodded heavily, and was led by the two of them, walking slowly back to the City Lord's Mansion.
Naturally, we often met Baiyun City residents who showed envious and admiring glances at them. Over the years, everyone has seen this family a lot, and the original fuss has been restrained a lot, but every time they see it, they still can't help but be in awe. He secretly sighed in his heart, the young master really gathered the aura of the entire South China Sea on him.
On the other hand, after Yan Nantian left South China Sea, he was targeted several times because of the sword that Ye Gucheng gave him.
That sword is brilliant, and you can get a glimpse of the strong sword energy without taking it out of the sheath, it is extraordinary at first glance.
When he met someone who wanted to buy his sword for the first time, Yan Nantian still felt baffled, so he simply replied: "Not for sale."
It's also his luck that cannot be described in words. When he first came out of the rivers and lakes, he met a few domineering children who were accustomed to the area from the south of the Lingnan to the north. Relying on the strength of their ancestors and elders, they never looked down on others. , actually came directly to Ming to snatch it.
Yan Nantian felt baffled. Although he had a good temper, he couldn't bear this situation.
So he took out the sword directly.
How could an ignorant and inexperienced kid from a martial arts family beat a genius swordsman named Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue who both thought he would have a bright future, but he was beaten to the brim right away and failed to succeed.
"You...! You wait...!" The leading young man covered his face and fled resentfully.
Yan Nantian thought that he would not provoke him again after he had learned his lesson, but he never expected that he would bring the elders from the sect to look for him that night, and even turned black into white, saying that Yan Nantian's sword was for stealing other people's hands. of.
"Uncle! You must make the decision for me!" Pointing to the wound on his face, he felt aggrieved.
"This is my sword. You can't snatch it. I let you live because you were young. I didn't expect you to turn right and wrong!"
Yan Nantian originally wanted to have a good talk with the elder he called, but he didn't expect that the sword in his hand was too eye-catching.
A sword that can be called a magic weapon is held in the hands of a youth who looks like he has no background. It is really hard not to have some ideas when the seniors of the sect who raised such disciples see it.
When fighting with him, Yan Nantian still felt that it was very unreasonable.
But he still has no intention of backing down.
He thought, if it was useless, he could just use the sword they wanted to solve it.
It was only at this time that he realized that Shen Bijun and Ye Gucheng did not praise him because of their closeness to him, and that his sword was indeed powerful enough to run amok in the Central Plains.
"If you want to rob me today, you will also want to rob others in the future." After putting away his sword, he stood in front of the two people who couldn't get up, and said with a complex expression, "I can handle it, but it doesn't mean others able."
It's okay to say that he is meddling in his own business, or he can't stand being bullied.
He just felt that a person like this was not worthy of being an elder at all.
So he took the two of them directly to their sect.
After explaining the whole story, he asked them to deal with these two people well, and he would not leave until he saw the result of the treatment.
No one would have thought that a young man who doesn't look like a weak crown can have this kind of swordsmanship, but he has it.
Not only is there, but it can also convince everyone who has seen it, and dare not make any more decisions.
After this incident, Yan Nantian deeply felt that he should not expose the sword too much, so he specially bought a few pieces of coarse cloth, wrapped it completely from the scabbard, and even wrapped a few around the hilt.
That's when we got back on the road.
Before leaving the sect whose name he didn't even remember, the fairly fair head asked him who his apprentice was, and he thought about it, and replied sincerely: "Li Guanyu."
Although the Divine Sword Art was written by his grandfather and the old Baiyun City Lord together, he has changed it beyond recognition during his own practice in the past ten years, so he can't be regarded as the disciple of the two of them.
But "Sword Formation" is different. Even today, he is still amazed by the subtle changes in it.
So that senior Li Guanyu is probably the only one who can be called his master.
This answer made the leader think he was talking nonsense. After all, Li Guanyu had passed away for many years, but he didn't continue to ask.
After all, their entire faction couldn't beat this seventeen-year-old boy. Even if he was really nonsense and didn't want to reveal his identity, they had no position to express their opinions.
In this way, when traveling all the way from the south of Lingnan to the middle of Shu, the name Yan Nantian has become a little famous, and it is often accompanied by the words "the road is uneven".
But Yan Nantian himself didn't care much about these false names.
As far as he is concerned, he did those things just because he felt uncomfortable not doing them, not because of his reputation as a hero.
And for now, the more important thing is obviously to go to Xiuyu Valley.
Yaoyue's birthday is approaching. When she was in South China Sea, Yan Nantian couldn't give her Jiansui a good-looking sword. As a result, after she left for two years, he didn't know what trick he had been opened. child will be.
So he thinks the gift he gave this time is very commemorative, although it can't be compared with Shen Bijun's jasper hairpin.
When he was heading towards Yihua Palace, he also met some kind-hearted people who wanted to persuade him not to provoke that female devil Jiang Laiguang.
There were no guards at the entrance of Xiuyu Valley, just like when he came ten years ago.
After all, even if Kuang Guang was not there, no one would dare to break in easily.
But after entering the valley, there were still many beautiful maids coming and going, they were all surprised when they saw him, and they all made a gesture of confronting the enemy before they opened their mouths.
Yan Nantian still wanted to explain, but they immediately surrounded him and raised their hands, forcing him to resist.
"I'm here to find someone!" He said anxiously.
"Looking for someone?" The leading maid frowned, "Who are you looking for?"
"Yaoyue, I'm looking for Yaoyue." He replied while blocking the maids behind him.
The maids probably didn't expect that this seemingly unknown boy would know the eldest disciple of the Palace Master. Their movements stopped for a moment, but they were still very alert: "Why should we trust you?"
Yan Nantian scratched his head, thought for a while, and said: "I come from Baiyun City, my surname is Yan, you send someone to talk to her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white figure floated down from the top of the mountain not far away.
The little girl, or girl, who had completely shed her childishness, lightly landed her lotus feet in front of him, her expression was still cold, and her gaze was the same as in memory.
"Why are you here?" Yaoyue frowned and asked him.
Yan Nantian didn't expect that after seeing her for two years, she grew up so much more than he remembered. He was a little surprised, but he immediately reacted: "It will be your birthday in a few days, and Aunt Shen asked me to bring you a gift!"
He thought that Yaoyue would be happy when she heard that Shen Bijun had a gift for her, but in the end, she just softened her expression a little bit, and her tone was still cold: "Oh, then you can go when you deliver it to me."
Yan Nantian:? ? ?
Just when he was surprised, Kuang Guang also came out of the palace room and walked straight towards the direction of the two of them.
Although Yan Nantian had a lot of connections with her, but seeing her for some reason, he was still as scared as he was when he was a child, so he immediately bowed and saluted: "Senior."
"Okay, it seems like I'm very old when you call me like that." She looked at him, then at her eldest apprentice, and smiled suddenly, "Didn't Mr. Bi say that you came to celebrate my apprentice's birthday, come in Speak."
Although Yan Nantian was very happy, he still looked at Yaoyue first when he heard her say that: "Sister, don't you mind?"
Yaoyue wanted to hit him, her master said so, how could she still have the right to not mind? !
And this person... has come all the way from thousands of miles away, and he can't even say a few pleasant words!
Yaoyue's birthday is just three days away, which is considered a big day for Yihua Palace.
Kuai Guang still thinks highly of this apprentice, so he dotes on her very much, even now that he has his own child, he still treats her the same as before.
Yan Nantian gave the jasper hairpin that Shen Bijun asked him to bring to Yaoyue early on, and he was very happy to see that Yaoyue used it the next day.
Well, sure enough, Aunt Shen is very discerning, such a beautiful hairpin is suitable for wearing on my sister's head.
Originally, he thought that Jiansui, who he managed to fight well with great difficulty, was very difficult to handle, but when he competed with Yaoyue the next day, seeing her take out the blue blood photo Danqing, he realized that there was still hanging on it. The spike that I gave you.
...I have to say it's really ugly, especially with this sword.
And Yaoyue didn't expect this at first, seeing him staring at her sword all the time, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten to take it off, and was embarrassed for a while, so she raised the sword and stabbed at him without thinking: " Don't be distracted! Look at the sword!"
It's a pity that after two years, her progress in swordsmanship still can't fill the gap between the two of them.
Yan Nantian was still able to defeat her within a hundred moves, which made her very frustrated and felt ashamed of her master.
In fact, Kuang Guang didn't care too much, because she knew Yan Nantian was a monster early on, and she comforted her in turn: "Forget it, if you can't beat it, then you can't beat it. Not to you."
And according to her opinion, Yan Nantian might not be willing to hurt his apprentice.
However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and she thinks it is better to wait and see how things change.
... Well, in fact, she is just afraid that Ye Gucheng, a person who protects his weaknesses by nature, will settle accounts with herself in the future.
For a long time afterwards, she thought, if she had known that Shen Bijun had been making great efforts to bring these two together, she would not have endured it for so long!
On the night after Yan Nantian and Yaoyue finished their discussion, he took advantage of the meal to secretly give Yaoyue the tassel he had just made, and felt apologetic: "At the beginning, I always said that I would make you a better one, but it took until today. .”
Yaoyue took it noncommittally, without expressing anything, just humming.
The girl who was about to turn fifteen turned out to be more beautiful than he had imagined. He was almost stunned by the appearance of standing in the moonlight and fiddled with the silver and green sword tassels. I'm sorry, I hurriedly looked away.
And Yaoyue also said at this time: "Are you leaving in two days?"
He scratched his head, and for a moment he didn't want to answer this question, but he nodded after a while: "It should be."
Yaoyue wasn't surprised either, and just changed the subject: "How are Aunt Shen and Uncle Ye doing?"
"Of course they are very good, and my younger brother is also very good." For some reason, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "But I heard that Senior Xiao said that he wanted to take his younger brother as an apprentice, so maybe you will be able to see them in a few days."
If Ye Yunjian really became a teacher of Xiao Wangsun, Ye Gucheng and Shen Bijun would definitely come north to Feiheling in the future.
With the friendship between Shen Bijun and Kuai Guang, they have come here, so how could they pass the Xiuyu Valley Gate and not enter.
"Didn't Ayun learn swordsmanship? Can Uncle Ye teach it by himself?" Yaoyue was surprised.
"Maybe it's about the same as me. Uncle Ye has always said that not all swordsmen are the same. There are always some people who look old at the age of three and decide the way to go from the moment they hold the sword." Yan Nantian explained.
This statement may be incomprehensible to many people, but Yan Nantian thinks it makes sense.
For the sword is dead, but man is alive.
Even with the same set of swordsmanship, different people can produce very different effects.
Not to mention that it is normal for Ye Gucheng, who has never been limited to "shape", to become more and more unaware of where to start.
The two talked to Ye Yunjian, but they had a lot to say, so they talked for a long time that night, until the whole Xiuyu Valley fell into a deep sleep before going back to their rooms.
On the day of leaving, Yan Nantian saw that she had replaced Bixuezhao Danqing with his new fringe. He was a little happy, and told her: "I should not return to South China Sea for the past two years. I will come every year on your birthday." .”
Yaoyue still said "oh" in a neutral manner, but didn't express anything.
She knew that he was a well-known hero now and had a lot to do, so she didn't take this promise too seriously.
But for the next three years, he did come every year.
In the first year, I gave her a flower picked from the cliff of Tianshan Mountain, put it in a jade box that can keep the flowers and plants alive, and carried them all the way to Xiuyu Valley in my arms.
She laughed silly and said that it only blooms once in hundreds of years. If you miss this time, it may be difficult to see again in this life, so I want to ask her to see it.
In the second year, he was helping the Shenhou Mansion to investigate a case together, and finally arrived on her birthday, and the gift was not as precious as the previous year, but he found a blacksmith on the way and made one himself. makeup box.
But he didn't know that he used that makeup box as soon as he left Yaoyue, and because of this, the curious Lian Xing asked why his sister suddenly changed to an ugly one?
In the third year, it was even more exaggerated. He entered the valley when he was only half an hour away from catching up.
Yaoyue originally thought that he would not come, but she still waited until night on the top of the mountain, but before Zishi arrived, she really made her wait.
Yan Nantian originally thought that he would not see her tonight, but he did not expect to see her as soon as he entered the Xiuyu Valley.
He was a little flustered for a while, this year he didn't even have time to prepare gifts...
And if she asked him why he came so late, how would he answer?
Unexpectedly, Yaoyue didn't ask this question, but frowned after seeing him and told him to wash up quickly. With all the dust and dirt all over his body, he didn't look like a hero!
Yan Nantian: "..."
Don't blame him, last month he heard that Wei Wuya, a daring villain, dared to go to Yihua Palace to ask Yaoyue for marriage. After the lair, he looked for it directly with his sword.
In the past three years, because he didn't want others to pay too much attention to his sword, he seldom used the magical weapon that Ye Gucheng gave him, and only used a rusty iron sword on weekdays.
Anyway, the same can be used.
But this time he let the sword out of its sheath again.
Even he himself didn't know why he was so angry.
Of course Wei Wuya also felt strange, and when he couldn't stand the killing god, he broke down and shouted at him: "What did I offend you, Great Xia Yan?!"
"You are disrespectful to my sister." On the basis of Yaoyue disabling his two legs, Yan Nantian directly disabled his martial arts so that he could no longer come out to harm others.
Wei Wuya: "...Who is your sister?!"
Given him 1 guts, he wouldn't dare to provoke Yan Nantian's younger sister, not to mention he had never heard that Yan Nantian had a younger sister!
