Chapter 56: The Friendship between Qin and Jin

  Song and Yu arrived near Zhang Sanfeng's residence, and from a distance, they saw the scene in the courtyard, which was indeed shocking.

  Zhang Sanfeng and Yao Guang stood beside him, seemingly whispering something, while the boy holding a wooden sword in the courtyard was Song Qing Shu.

  Song Qing walked back and forth several times, clearly not just walking randomly due to tension. He took deliberate steps, although he hadn't grasped the essence yet, but it was already possible to see the outline. Song Yuanqiao looked at him with a dazed expression.

  Song Qing walked a few more steps, as if adjusting his stance, and then drew his sword with a swift motion. The sword's momentum was light and quick, without the sound of wind or thunder, but it had a unique rhythm that made people feel delighted at first sight, just like hearing an exquisite melody.

  The beauty of music lies in its ability to resonate with heaven and earth and human hearts, because it is in harmony with reason, therefore it moves people's heartstrings.

  People are born to know joy, because at the time of life in chaos and ignorance, they have already touched the most fundamental principle of the universe. It's just that after birth, they forget it, so some people wake up and search for it again, knock on the door and ask, so when they hear music that conforms to reason, they are moved by it unconsciously.

  All exquisite martial arts have their own rhythm, like natural breathing. This sword technique is the same, making people unaware of its ferocity at first glance, but instead sensing its beauty.

  Song Qingxue had mastered all the variations of the "Three-Ringed Moon" move, and only then did he let out a breath, walking back to Yao Guang's side, quietly waiting for his opponent's evaluation in the Heroes' League showdown.

  Yao Guang looked up at Zhang Sanfeng and smiled: "Master, how is the Qing Shu sword technique?"

  Zhang Sanfeng smiled and stroked his beard, "Qingxu is young and has not been practicing swordplay for long, to be able to achieve this level is truly not easy."

  Song Qing received praise and was very happy in her heart, immediately bursting into laughter.

  Zhang Sanfeng turned his head to look at Yao Guang and said, "The swordsmanship is exquisite, changing unpredictably. Is this also a swordsmanship you created? What's its name? Show me."

  Yao Guang had a mind to distinguish that this was not the swordsmanship she created, but she couldn't produce evidence, nor could she say where and when she learned the Three Talents Swordsmanship from whom. After hesitating for a moment, she could only say: "...This set of swordsmanship is 'Three Talents Swordsmanship', Fang Cai Qing Shu just used the first move 'Three Rings Wrap Moon'. Since Master has spoken, I will perform the entire set of swordsmanship."

  Yao Guang walked into the courtyard with his sword in hand, drew it out of its scabbard and began to wield it freely.

  Among the various swordsmanship that Yao Guang has learned, if we say which one is the most exquisite, San Cai Swordsmanship may not be the first, but if we say which one she is most familiar with and has mastered to the extreme, it must be San Cai Swordsmanship. In the past, Lu Chunyang, a Taoist from Shanshi, created the San Cai Swordsmanship, incorporating the true meaning of Taoism into it. This set of swordsmanship was not originally created for Jianghu martial arts competition, but to help his disciples understand the meaning of Taoism.

  Yao Guang has been practicing Taoism for many years, and at this moment, he is demonstrating this set of sword techniques. At first glance, it seems ethereal and carefree, like a celestial being. However, upon closer inspection, one realizes that each move and style has transformed complexity into simplicity. Yet, with each move, there are numerous variations hidden within, and with each change, the power is reserved without release. Due to its "hidden edge not yet exhausted", it becomes even more difficult to respond to. The profundity and subtlety of this technique far surpass what Song Qing Shu was capable of when he used it before.

  Song Qingxue read with a look of intoxication, feeling that Xiao Shifu was indeed like a sword immortal.

  Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly.

  Song Yuanqiao and Yu Daayan exchanged a glance, both seeing a familiar look in each other's eyes.

  When Daiyue finished this set of sword moves, Yu Daishan couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, this is our little junior sister..."

  Yes...

  Song Yuanqiao couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself that he had nothing to worry about anymore. If Qing Shu could master this set of sword techniques, traveling the world wouldn't be a problem for him either.

  "No wonder, little sister is unwilling to put in more effort into Palm Pointing Fist Technique..."

  With such swordsmanship, why bother dividing your attention among other martial arts?

  Yu Daoyan gazed for a moment longer, then sighed: “...If she had divided her attention to learn other things, even Junior Sister might not have been able to achieve such mastery of the sword. This set of sword techniques will surely be passed down through the ages.”

  Song Yuanqiao sighed for a moment, then suddenly said: "Perhaps Master's 'Divine Gate Sword' can be created."

  Yu Daayan was also startled and showed a surprised expression.

  Zhang Sanfeng had the intention of creating a sword technique seven or eight years ago, with each move aimed at piercing the "Shenmen hole" of his opponent. The "Shenmen hole" is located at the tip of the sharp bone on the back of the hand, and after being pierced by the sword, the hand can no longer exert any strength, naturally leading to defeat. This set of sword techniques undoubtedly reflects Zhang Sanfeng's benevolent ideology. Over the years, Zhang Sanfeng has repeatedly discussed with his disciples, although he has created six swords, but there are always difficulties that cannot be figured out afterwards.

  Among the Wudang disciples, Yu Lianzhou's martial arts skills were the highest. Although everyone practiced swordsmanship, only four people specialized in it. Now that Yao Guang is added to the list, there are five people. In the past, Yao Guang did not participate in discussions, and others did not know that she had such attainments in swordsmanship. At this moment, they naturally thought of this matter as soon as they saw her.

  As it turned out, Song Yuanqiao was right.

  Zhang Sanfeng highly praised the swordsmanship of Yao Guang after seeing it, and instructed her to teach it to his disciples when she had time. Later, he took her aside and talked about the key points of the Divine Gate Sword. Yao Guang thought for a moment, raised her sword at an angle, flipped her wrist in a small circle, and the sword tip trembled with several consecutive dots.

  These few moves were both real and fake, while the wrist flip that one circle now seems redundant. When truly fighting with someone, it's already avoided the opponent's sword edge. Truly a subtle and magnificent master is very low-key.

  If there is someone in front of you, this move will definitely hit the Shenmen acupoint.

  Zhang Sanfeng was overjoyed and applauded loudly, saying: "Good! Good! Good!"

  He gave three cheers of approval, but it was not just because Yao Guang could think of a move, but also because he was relieved that the Wudang sect would continue.

  Song Qing Shu couldn't understand the subtleties yet, but seeing Tai Shifu praise like this, he followed with loud cheers.

  Yao Guang didn't show any modesty either, smiling as he accepted the praise. He looked up and smiled at someone outside, saying loudly: "Big Brother Master, Third Brother Master has arrived."

  Zhang Sanfeng also smiled and nodded at the two of them.

  Several people gathered together, and after a long conversation, Yao Guang led Song Qing Shu to leave first. When they reached the door, they coincidentally met Yin Li Ting and Mo Sheng Gu, who had just returned to Wudang Mountain. Before Yao Guang could speak, Yin Li Ting suddenly blushed and ran away, leaving Mo Sheng Gu and Yao Guang staring at each other. In the end, both of them burst out laughing.

  Mo Sheng Gu was mature since he was a teenager, and started growing his beard at the age of 17 or 18. Although he is only slightly older than Yin Li Ting by five years, he appears to be older due to his tall stature and dense beard. As a child, he was quiet and rarely spoke, although he cared about his younger sister, he didn't know how to express himself, often doing more than speaking. As he grew older, he gradually became more articulate.

  Mo Shenggu has been traveling down the mountain for nearly half a year, and on the way, he received a flying letter from Yu Lianzhu, saying that Yu Daiyan and his younger sister had encountered some trouble outside. He was asked to hurry over if it was convenient for him. At that time, Mo Shenggu was quite far away, so he galloped through the night to investigate and found out that two people from Wudang Sect had indeed passed by and left. He then rushed back to his sect and only just arrived today, hastily hurrying over after tying up his horse. On the way, he met Yin Liting, but they hadn't exchanged more than a few words yet.

  Yao Guang measured Mo Sheng silently for a moment before smiling and saying, "Seventh Brother, it's been quite some time since you last came down the mountain. You're even more robust now."

  Mo Sheng Valley smiled and patted Yao Guang's shoulder, saying in a loud voice: "Little sister, I brought you zongzi sugar and cake from Cai Zhi Zhai. Try it and see if it's good, next time I'll buy more for you."

  He said and took out a neatly wrapped square box from his bosom.

  Yao Guang took the box that still had body heat, opened it on the spot, picked out a zongzi and put it in his mouth. After a while, he narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

  "Hmm! Desserts are still best made in Jiangnan!"

  Mo Sheng Gu rubbed the back of his head, turned around, and his mouth corners curled up fiercely.

  "Little sister likes it well. I'll go ask Master Father for peace and come find little sister later."

  Yao Guang's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of Mo Sheng Gu's ears turning slightly red, and she couldn't help but wonder if her Seventh Brother had grown such a thick beard precisely because he was prone to blushing.

  She didn't expose it either, smiling and nodding.

  Mo Sheng Gu finished speaking and quickly left, Yao Guang smiled and waved goodbye, and handed a candy to Song Qing Shu's mouth.

  Song Qing Shu bit her lip and held it for a moment before saying with a bitter face: "So sweet..."

  "What? Qing Shu doesn't like sweet food? I was careless, then spit it out."

  "No, I must finish the candy that Fourth Master gave me."

  Song Qing Shu found it a bit tooth-achingly sweet, but still swallowed it down strongly in one gulp.

  Yao Guang cried and laughed, "But just one candy, if you don't like it then don't force yourself, you child... Come on, accompany me to see Second Shixiong and Fourth Shixiong. This time I return, if I don't report back safely one by one, the Shixiongs will definitely be worried."

  Song Qing swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva before managing to suppress the sweetness in his mouth, and upon hearing this sentence, he decisively sold out his own father.

  "Father can worry about Little Shifu now, every day he has to mention it several times. If not for Zhang Siu's assurance that Little Shifu will be fine, Father would have asked Yu Ershu to pick you up, Prime Minister. Quickly give me the latest chapter of 'Love'."

  Yao Guang smiled and said, "Fourth Brother still understands me best."

  Song Qing's eyes rolled, and she added a sentence, "What Zhang Siu said was easy-going, but in fact, after receiving Yu San Shu's first letter that night, he walked back and forth for half the night, and the next day, he wanted to go down the mountain, but was persuaded by Tai Shifu."

  Jade Light suddenly covered her forehead.

  She really underestimated how much several of her seniors were worried about her.

  What can you do? She's only "twelve years old" after all. If she were "twenty-two", perhaps the senior brothers would not have acted this way.

  Yao Guang patted Song Qing Shu's head and praised: "Qing Shu is meticulous in thought, observant in detail, very good. Just don't stay up late too often in the future, it's not good for your body."

  Song Qing said "oh" and did not admit that she was also worried and couldn't sleep, only to find out that Zhang Songxi had been pacing back and forth for half the night...

  Afterwards, Yao Guang visited her senior brother one by one and was indeed lectured again. When she finally had some free time and remembered that she could go find Yin Li Ting to chat with Ji Xiao Fu, Yin Li Ting ran away as soon as he saw her, leaving Yao Guang speechless and turning back to look at Song Qing Shu.

  "...Green Book, in this aspect, you can't learn from your Sixth Uncle."

  Song Qing nodded.

  Yao Guang sighed and said: "I only hope that after Liu Jie marries in, Sixth Master will be better."

  Although she said that, but thinking of Ji Xiaofu's shy temperament which was on a par with Yin Liting's, she fell silent.

  "Little Shifu, what kind of person is Liu Shu?"

  "Hmm... You will have a beautiful and elegant future wife who is kind, gentle, and clever, a very good girl."

  "That's really great, when will Sixth Aunt get married and move over?"

  "You'd better ask your sixth uncle about this."

  Yao Guang's meaning is that the engagement can only be proposed by the man, so he said it could only ask Yin Li Ting. In fact, it was just waiting for Yin Li Ting to propose and then tell everyone, but unexpectedly Song Qing Shu very honestly ran to ask Yin Li Ting, which made another person who saw him and immediately left after seeing him.

  In mid-May, Han Yang Jiying suddenly came to visit, with a very enthusiastic attitude, and treated Yao Guang exceptionally well. He gave her many things that women use, such as hairpins, silk, and satin, and then pulled Zhang Sanfeng aside to chat for a long time. The general idea was whether he could let Yin Liting marry his daughter earlier. Zhang Sanfeng was originally worried that if it was too hasty, the other party would not be happy. Now that he had heard this, he called Yin Liting over to discuss it briefly. Several people took out the calendar and flipped through it, finding a good day in September. Jiying left the mountain with satisfaction, saying that he was just waiting for Yin Liting to come and propose. Yin Liting blushed again, but didn't run away, instead nodding vigorously.

  In early June, Zhang Sanfeng took Yin Liting to propose a marriage.

  In early July, Ji Xiaofu was summoned back to the Ji family to await her marriage.

  In early September, the Ji family sent off their new bride with great fanfare. The wedding procession arrived at Wudang Mountain, where lanterns and streamers were hung everywhere, filling the air with joy and festivity. Even those who weren't actually Taoist priests but only dressed as such on ordinary days all changed into bright-colored clothes to show their celebratory spirit.

  Yin Litang and Ji Xiaofu finally became husband and wife, and Wu Dang and Emei became in-laws.

  The author has something to say: Suzhou Caozhibang's name is borrowed for use... Anyway, the traditional pastries on that side, I quite like eating glutinous rice cakes with sugar, but a roommate said it was too uncomfortable to eat...

  。

  Ji Ying received a letter from his daughter, saying that the people of Wudang Sect were really too reliable, too powerful, and even her junior sister was so capable. Ji Ying then enthusiastically urged his daughter to marry him quickly.
