Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 88 Blue Clouds and White Rain
After a night, before dawn, Li Si was ready to leave with Shu Hunu.
When the two of them arrived at the mountain gate, they found a disciple from Baihua Valley standing there. She looked at Li Si with a cold face, then handed a box in her hand to Shu Hu Nu and said.
"The Valley Master asked me to give these to you, saying that you should keep them for your journey."
When she heard that it was food, Shuhu Girl's eyes lit up. She said thank you and took it.
Then the disciple looked at Li Si again. After a while, he took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and said reluctantly, "This is the best medicine for wounds in our Baihua Valley. The Valley Master said that if you get hurt while you're in the martial arts world, you should use it yourself."
Li Si looked at the medicine bottle for a while before slowly reaching out to take it.
"Thank you very much."
The disciple ignored him, stepped aside, bowed to the tiger girl and said.
"Well, goodbye then."
Li Si looked at the disciple, smiled helplessly, put the golden wound medicine into his arms, and replied softly.
"Goodbye."
…
Outside the valley, the tiger girl, riding on horseback, couldn't wait to open the box. Looking at the cakes inside, she took out one and put it into her mouth.
Looking at her squinting eyes, she seemed to be eating very comfortably.
Beside her, Li Si seemed a little silent. It was rare for him to walk the whole way without saying a word.
Shu Hu Nu seemed to have noticed this as well. She turned her head to look at Li Si, then looked at the pastry in her hand, paused, and frowned, as if she was making a difficult decision.
After a while, Li Si felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned around and saw the tiger girl handing him a pastry and saying.
"Here's one."
Judging from the struggling look on Shuhu Girl's face, this should be her biggest concession.
"Ha." This made Li Si chuckle. He shook his head and said, "No need. Eat it yourself ."
The tiger girl didn't insist any more. She took back the pastry and put it into her mouth.
"Where are we going after this?"
She asked Li Si vaguely.
"Hmm..." Li Si looked at the road ahead, pondered for a while, then relaxed his brows and said with a smile.
"Let's go to Huashan."
…
The Five Mountains Sect, also known as the Five Mountains Sword Sect, is a group of five major sects named after the Five Mountains. They are Taishan Sect, Huashan Sect, Hengshan Sect, Songshan Sect and Hengshan Sect.
Among them, if the Taishan Sect is named after its righteousness which is as heavy as Mount Tai, then the Huashan Sect is named after its sword energy which is higher than Mount Hua.
Huashan is so high that it reaches the clouds. As the highest mountain among the Five Sacred Mountains, it is like a straight sword, standing between heaven and earth. Its sharpness is unmatched among the Five Sacred Mountains.
But speaking of Mount Hua, Li Si actually has some connection with it.
That year he had just entered the martial arts world and was still a young boy. One day it rained heavily and he had nowhere to hide, so he accidentally hid under the mountain gate ancestral hall of the Huashan Sect.
It was already late at night, and Li Si fell asleep unknowingly while hiding from the rain.
When he woke up again, he found that he had an extra piece of clothing on his body. Looking up, he saw a middle-aged man holding a sword and wearing only one piece of clothing sitting next to him.
Probably realizing that he had woken up, the middle-aged man turned around to look at him and said with a stern face.
"You look young, so you must be new to the martial arts world. Today, I will teach you a rule. You cannot enter other people's ancestral halls casually. Remember?"
Having said that, he did not drive Li Si away immediately. He just asked him to wait until the rain stopped before leaving.
That day, Li Si accompanied the middle-aged man to watch a day of blue clouds and rain on Mount Huashan.
It was raining, but the sky was not overcast and the sun was not setting. The sunlight shone through the drizzle, making the glimmer on the bluestone slabs look like ripples. Between the ancient pavilions, the raindrops hung down like beads falling from a jade plate, making a continuous sound.
Blue clouds, drizzle, and ancient monuments at the mountain gate: this was Li Si’s entire impression of Mount Hua that day.
Huashan is very sharp, but sometimes, it is also very quiet.
That middle-aged man is the current Huashan Sect Leader Yue Changfeng. He is a serious and rigid person, but he is not so unkind.
Before going to Huashan, Li Si planned to write a letter and send it to explain the cause and process of the incident. After all, if Yue Changfeng was to compete with Shu Hunv, he would probably not agree without explaining the reason.
However, if he could take this opportunity to learn the swordsmanship of the Jin Kingdom's number one swordsman, I believe he would not refuse.
On the way to send the letter, it started raining again, and it was a rare rain in broad daylight with clear sky.
Li Si bought a paper umbrella and held it for Shu Hu Nu.
When she first held it up, the tiger girl was shocked, because in the Jin Kingdom, men would never hold an umbrella for women. Moreover, with her status, she was not even as good as an ordinary woman. If the master knew about this, she would be beaten severely.
She instinctively wanted to dodge, but Li Si grabbed her hand and said, "What are you doing? Do you think your body is too good?"
He had never seen anyone going out in the rain without an umbrella. Could it be that she had never seen rain in the Jin Dynasty?
The tiger girl's body froze. She said nothing, but lowered her head. After a long while, she spoke in a low voice.
"Hand, let go."
Li Si then noticed that he was holding the other person's hand. He coughed awkwardly and said.
"Ahem. Sorry."
The tiger girl didn't look at him, but just withdrew her hand and said.
"Next time you make a move, I'll chop your hands off."
She lowered her head so that no one would notice her expression.
Unlike ordinary women, her hands are very rough due to her long-term sword practice. This is also a thing she despises about herself, so she doesn't like others touching her hands, just like her short hair.
In fact, the more she envied ordinary women, the more she despised herself.
Her scars, her skin, and her behavior reminded her all the time that she was just a sword and nothing more.
…
At Huashan, Yue Changfeng was sitting in the hall, reading a letter in his hand. In front of him stood his eldest disciple Feng Shanyang.
"Master, what does the letter say?" Feng Shanyang looked at Yue Changfeng and asked.
Yue Changfeng glanced at him, sighed, and said helplessly: "Li Si is coming to our place."
After listening to this, Feng Shanyang turned around and walked back.
Yue Changfeng asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"
Feng Shanyang said without even turning his head: "Go hide all my wine."
Watching his apprentice walking away, Yue Changfeng shook his head and said to himself, "What a fuss."
Then he also began to think about what he had to hide.
