Chapter 160 - System vs. System (X)
Chi Xiaochi was slightly taken aback by this unexpected event, calculating the pros and cons quickly and carefully in his mind.
…… Wen Yujing , which has only one name present in the original book.
Unknown to good or evil, of unknown origin.
According to the plot, he was either away in immortality or living in seclusion at this time, so why would he suddenly attend the meeting?
Could he be trying to hit on the sword in the stone?
…… shouldn’t.
After today, all knowledgeable swordsmen in the world will know that the Sword in the Stone has been drawn by a disciple of Jing Xufeng, and that this is the end of the tunnel.
The winner of the sword is the future master of Jing Xufeng, and if anyone tries to take the sword from him in private, he would be disrespecting the ancestors and disrespecting a tradition that has been passed down for a thousand years.
No one with even a token development of the brain would do such a stupid thing.
Chi Xiaochi is aptly puzzled as he mulls over his ideas.
At 17 years of age, the young man may not be aware of the sacred status of the Sword in the Stone in the minds of sword cultivators, so it makes sense that he would be blasé about it.
But it would be a sham to say that it was completely spoilt.
He knelt down on one knee and tried to “shrug off” the kindness by holding back his “nervousness”: “My Lord Chikun, I do not dare to take the liberty, nor do I dare to disturb my junior uncle, but I should repay the deep kindness that Master Banquet …… has shown me.”
Chi Yunzi interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
He wanted to say that Yan Jinhua would not be of any use to you as a master, except to gain a false name for nothing.
Can he teach you sword training or can he teach you the secrets of the heart?
He’s got some shame if he doesn’t take you to a brothel!
But when he said this, he slapped Yan Jinhua in the face and slapped himself in the mouth at the same time.
Chi Yunzi was in a dilemma when she heard a gentle smile from her side.
Wen Yujing nudged his lips with his xiao and confessed, “Brother, I like him.”
When he spoke, he did not look at Chi Yunzi, but looked intently at Duan Shujue, who was kneeling below him, his words a little nasal and gentle, a little like a pout.
Chi Xiaochi A thought for the mind.
The man at …… is not a bad talker.
Wen Yujing’s seemingly cheeky “I like it” is in fact a way of taking the blame on himself.
He liked it, so Chi Yunzi had a reason to give disciples.
He liked it so much that Yan Jinhua, who was a generation below him, had to cut his losses.
He liked it, so he was also promising that he would treat Duan Shujue well and give himself peace of mind.
It’s not just a step up for Chi Yunzi, it’s a slide.
He is the youngest among his peers, and has always lived far away from others, never asking for anything, and has a self-absorbed nature. Don’t mention it again. From today onwards, your master is Wen Yujing, and your name will be entered into the register some other time, and I will send someone to send it to you.”
Chi Xiaochi returned home with Wen Yujing, carrying the sword in the stone.
He was going to go back to Yuguangtan to pack up some things and to disgust Yan Jinhua again in private, but Wen Yujing’s simple “I have everything there” put Chi Xiaochi’s mind at rest for a while and he planned to explore the environment first.
Chi Xiaochi is not in a hurry again.
Yan Jinhua is his mission, but how is Duan Shujue not Yan Jinhua’s mission?
Even if he doesn’t go back, Yan Jinhua will still come forward.
So he walked away with a clear conscience, even wearing Yan Jinhua’s heavy outer robe.
Jing Xufeng has a total of sixteen peaks, but Wen Yujing is the only one in the area, and is known as the Hui Shou Feng.
One of the many rules at Jingxu Mountain is that anyone who is not a Junmai or a senior disciple must dismount their swords to enter the mountain without special circumstances. The principle is roughly equivalent to a high school where students are not allowed to ride bicycles but teachers are allowed to drive into the school gates.
Wen Yujing does not use his sword either, but walks slowly under the moon with Chi Xiaochi.
Wen Yujing is in the lead, followed by Chi Xiaochi. Neither of them is a talker, so they don’t talk too much, but the atmosphere is soothing and calm, and not at all awkward.
Wen Yujing walks very slowly, with graceful, silent gestures.
He took a handful of green fireflies as a lamp and blew his cock to lead the way.
Chi Xiaochi thinks that this is probably the romance of the ancients.
He was not familiar with the path, and as Wen Yujing had always lived alone on the peak, the path was inevitably rugged, with the bricks and stones falling off and being damaged.
Chi Xiaochi simply stepped on Wen Yujing’s footprints to avoid stepping on them.
They ascended straight to the summit wall.
At the top of the mountain, a corner of the moon peeks out between the fluffy, snow-white clouds, and the stars are listed, but they cannot hide the glow of the moon.
Chi Xiaochi couldn’t help but give a compliment at the sight.
Wen Yujing asked him, “Is the moon beautiful?”
Chi Xiaochi was struck by the thought of the star that 061 had “plucked” for him, and the ring that he still wore on his pinky finger, and felt it burning.
He put away his unnecessary thoughts of “I don’t think I’m going to pick the moon” and asked, “Master, are we here to enjoy the moon?”
Wen Yujing, at his words, raised his hand and spread his palm out towards the moon, and in a short time a pale silvery section of moonlight solidified in his palm, in the shape of a key.
He replied with a slight smile, “No, let’s go home.”
Chi Xiaochi’s eyes shifted and the world changed.
The original luxuriant hilltop suddenly flattens out, and an ancient and quiet palace stretches out, surrounded by flowers and trees, and a mirror-like flat lake, like an emerald belt, encircles the palace, making it look like a lake island.
Only the moon is still the same.
Chi Xiaochi is a newcomer to the city, so it’s only natural to find out what the rules are.
In fact, he wasn’t even sure what Wen Yujing had wanted him for.
He bowed his hand courteously, “Master, is there anything I can do?”
”Yes.” Wen Yujing put the jade xiao back on his belt, turned back to him and gently ordered, “Draw your sword.”
Chi Xiaochi is stunned.
”Draw the sword in the stone. Defeat me in fifty moves.” Wen Yujing took the umbrella off his back, “Or, I will defeat you.”
With a shake of the tip of the umbrella in his hand, he transforms it into a turquoise soft sword, the hilt of which is the very hilt of the umbrella, carved with a semi-openwork figure of two carp.
Wen Yujing, sword in right hand, left hand behind his back, gazes at him.
Chi Xiaochi knew that this was a necessary trial for initiation, and without giving it much thought, he took off his outer robe and drew his sword in stone.
The water sword is invisible, and as it points straight down to the ground, a section of it drops to the ground, bubbling and flowing without wetting it in the slightest.
Chi Xiaochi wiped the sword with a flat finger, flicked the tip of the sword across the body, and then used his wrist to counter-attack the sword, avoiding its edge and going straight to the middle!
However, the soft sword was like a living thing, it rebounded instantly after being pushed away, and Wen Yujing used his sword with one hand and dodged the blow by turning sideways, the sword came out like a whip, and a thin silver light fluttered past, cutting off a piece of his shoulder shirt.
Duan Shujue had only heard the sword techniques taught by his shark ancestor when he drew the sword in the stone, but he had not yet begun to learn them.
Chi Xiaochi’s Duan Shujue was gradually being ignited.
Wen Yujing is good with soft swords, and his sword movements are really tricky and unpredictable, but if he has to face the sword head-on, I am afraid he will not be able to do so.
Duan Shujue’s calculations were precise, and he guaranteed that his sword, in terms of angle and momentum, would never be blocked by Wen Yujing.
Wen Yujing did not stand in the way.
He waved his hand and raised his sword, and the soft sword rolled down on top of the sword body of the Stone China Sword, wrapping around the blade of the water sword several times, actually locking the sword body of the Stone China Sword in one fell swoop!
Duan Shujue was too stunned to react when Wen Yujing let go of his right hand and replaced it with his left, gripping the hilt of the twin fish sword that was still floating in the air, and instantly stepped around behind Duan Shujue.
The soft sword was stretched into a bow, the thin blade half wrapped around Duan Shujue’s neck.
…… Duan Shujue , def.
Even with the sword skills of his past life and a thousand years of sword intent, Duan Shujue, who had been softly imprisoned by Yan Jinhua in the Fisherman’s Pool for many years, was still inexperienced against the enemy.
He blinked and said sincerely, “Master’s swordsmanship is first class, and my apprentice is ashamed of himself.”
Wen Yujing smiles good-naturedly and turns his hand to withdraw his sword.
The soft sword, like a soft ruler, rustled away from the sword in the stone, and as it bounced away, the blade inadvertently swept over a nearby spray of nightshade in full bloom, and the jonquils suddenly tumbled like a dance.
Wen Yujing reverted to the shape of a turquoise carp umbrella and held it above his head to block the rain of flowers that fell.
”With time, you will be able to build something.” He nudged Duan Shujue with a few words, “A thousand years of sword intent is only the foundation for others, it is how you use it that is your skill.”
Even Duan Shujue and Chi Xiaochi were impressed by his grace.
He said, “Yes, Master, the disciple knows.”
As he raised his hand in salute, his movement was abrupt.
In the fierce battle that had just taken place, each of them had sustained damage. Wen Yujing broke a piece of his lapel, while Chi Xiaochi had the top two buttons cut off, and when he moved, his previously cut shoulder shirt lost its restraint and slipped off his shoulder, exposing half of his shoulder.
Chi Xiaochi looks at his exposed shoulder: “……”
He felt as if something was wrong.
He suspected that his new master was doing it on purpose.
He even reasonably suspected that if it was a hundred strokes, Wen Yujing could have picked his belt off as well.
But looking at Wen Yujing’s worldly, gentlemanly face, Chi Xiaochi wonders if he is too much of a villain.
Without further thought, he gathered his mind and said, “Master, Duan Shujue will practise carefully in the future.”
”Yes.” Wen Yujing turned his umbrella behind his back, “Practice with me for three hours every day, meditate for three hours to enlighten yourself, and I will take you out from time to time to see more of the world. Apart from that, you will also take care of my food and living.”
Chi Xiaochi thought nothing of it: “Yes.”
It is common sense that if you want to worship a master, you must serve him.
Wen Yujing, however, looked at him steadily: “I said, “I am taking care of my food and living.”
Hearing this emphasis, Chi Xiaochi wondered slightly, “Master?”
Wen Yujing: “Do you know why Brother Chi Yunzi is willing to let me take you?”
This part is not mentioned in the book, but since Wen Yujing has already mentioned it to this extent, how could Chi Xiaochi not think of that possibility?
The young man with the umbrella and the xiao faced him and said frankly, “I am a hundred year old spirit beast in disguise, I was picked up by my master when he was away from home and raised with care before I was given the chance to take human form. I was given you by my senior brother because I believe I have the means to control you.”
After saying this, he smiled lightly again, “What a coincidence. We are both aliens in the mortal world, so it is fitting that we should be master and disciple in this life.”
Chi Xiaochi is a great success.
In this way, everything in the party makes sense.
If Wen Yujing is also a shark-like spirit animal, then it is no wonder that he spends his days unseen, hidden behind the scenes, and free from the world.
Chi Yunzi is comfortable with him because he is an excellent swordsman and can hold his own against the current Duan Shujue, and because he is a spirit animal and knows how to deal with sharks.
After explaining the matter clearly, Wen Yujing waved his hand lightly, “Go and bathe, I will go to my room to rest. In half an hour, go to my room to bathe and freshen up for me.”
The so-called “bathing and grooming” is probably a way of washing the body of a spirit animal.
Chi Xiaochi nodded in response and waited for Wen Yujing to turn around and enter the room before he removed his clothes and shoes, transformed into a shark and leapt into his
If the Fisherman’s Pool he used to live in was plainly furnished, with one room, one kitchen and one bathroom outside with a balcony, he now lives in a small three-storey villa outside with a small garden and a car park.
The water has more aura than the Fisherman’s Pool, and it is a cold spring favoured by the sharks, large enough for him to take himself a hundred-metre drift, and there are some koi and turtles in the spring, which are bold enough to come up and look around curiously when they see a shark.
He swam for a while, dipping half his face in the icy water and enjoying his new home comfortably, while looking up at the sky.
The crescent moon is so bright and clear that you can’t help but love it.
061 Say, “Do you like this moon?”
Chi Xiaochi said, “…… can’t pick it, can’t pick it.”
061 Laughs, “Didn’t I already give it to you?”
Chi Xiaochi realised that he was now in the exact waters where the moon casts its shadow.
He was, at that moment, just lying in the centre of the moon in the water.
Chi Xiaochi spits a string of bubbles: “Mr Six, you’ve given me a lot of gifts ……”
061 understood what he meant and laughed, “Don’t misunderstand, I just found it. The moon is best enjoyed here, so this moon, should be considered a gift from Wen Yujing to you.”
…… To put it bluntly, what does what he Wen Yujing sent to Chi Xiaochi have to do with me 061.
Chi Xiaochi, now slightly relieved, confirmed the time, cleaned his body and climbed ashore.
He had to wear the tattered one because there was no replaceable disciples’ uniform for the time being.
He knocked on Wen Yujing’s door, but there was no answer.
Chi Xiaochi thought that Wen Yujing had probably already transformed by this time, so he raised his voice and called out to the master, knocking twice more to indicate that he was going in before pushing the door open.
No one answered in the house.
On the tabletop is a brass tray with a rhinoceros horn comb, a white velvet scarf no bigger than an adult’s palm, a small nail clipper, and a small bowl of warm goat’s milk.
Chi Xiaochi : “……”
…… How does something in here look so odd.
And once again his suspicions were confirmed when he saw Wen Yujing in the flesh.
A small kitten, about the size of a palm, is crouched on the inner bed, licking its soft and clean front paws gracefully.
Chi Xiaochi : …… Excuse me.
He did not go in immediately, but stood in the doorway with a blank look on his face.
061 Feeling that something was wrong with his expression, he pursued the question, “What’s wrong?” Doesn’t he like cats?
Chi Xiaochi : “…… What does he mean?”
061 : “Hmm?”
”He’s a cat that keeps a pool of fish.” Chi Xiaochi said, “What’s the difference between that and a weasel running a chicken farm? Teacher Six, tell me, did he pick me up and store cat food.”
061 : “……”
Miscalculation.
He only considered that the cat would be softer and more comfortable to hold and jerk around, more healing and suitable for Chi Xiaochi.
…… Now it’s not too late for him to do it all over again and turn into a blond.
