Seeing the drawing paper slowly ignite, Ye Wen was about to close the furnace lid, but before he could move, the voice of his junior sister came from behind: "Brother, what are you burning?"
Ye Wen said secretly: "I'm really afraid of something coming!" Immediately turned around, put his body in front of the stove, and said indifferently: "Why is Junior Sister here?"
Before she could speak, she saw Ning Ruxue carrying tea and some pastries. It seemed that she knew that Ye Wen was teaching Liu Muyan calligraphy in the study, so she brought some pastries and tea over. Ye Wen usually likes to stuff some snacks into his mouth when he has nothing to do, but Aunt Zhao usually sends them, and I don't know why Ning Ruxue personally sent them today.
He didn't know, it was because Aunt Zhao knew about Ning Ruxue and Ye Wen's affairs, and felt that they should have more chances to get along with each other, and asking Ning Ruxue to do it would also make Ye Wen feel better .
"A man likes a woman who will serve him!"
Ning Ruxue nodded ignorantly, then took the tray and ran over. As soon as I came in, I heard movement in the special stove, so I went in and took a look.
But he didn't want Ye Wen to be shocked just because of her look.
"Brother, what are you burning?"
"It's just a painting..."
"Painting?" Ning Ruxue knew that Ye Wen liked to draw when he was free. There were some rooms in the Shushan School that Ye Wen painted landscapes and the like. Even his own room had an inexplicable painting. things, but it is rare to see Ye Wen burn his own paintings.
Feeling strange in her heart, she would inevitably ask a few more questions: "What painting should be burned? Is the painting not good?" She felt that Ye Wen was reluctant to destroy even such a strange thing, and instead hung it in her room Why did he burn the painting this time?
While asking, Ning Ruxue poked her head and wanted to see it. Seeing this, Ye Wen couldn't stop her, otherwise she would appear guilty, turned around and pretended to be generous: "It's nothing, I wanted to draw some random figures, but the ones I drew were not Very good, let’s burn it!” This statement is half-truthful and half-truthful, if someone who didn’t know the inside story, he would definitely not be able to hear the problem.
When Ning Ruxue saw that Ye Wen stepped aside generously and said that she didn't care, her curiosity faded away. People are like this, the more you stop her, the more curious she will be, if you show her openly, maybe she still doesn't want to read it.
At this moment, Ning Ruxue just glanced into the stove casually, and didn't take a closer look, but her face was reddish at this glance, she glanced at Ye Wen strangely, then didn't say anything, turned around and went out of the room.
Ye Wen was terrified by that look, and immediately looked into the stove, and saw that most of the drawing paper had been burned, but there were still many parts of the figure in the painting, the ribbons fluttering on the shoulders and the pair of white jade bare feet are clearly visible. Fortunately, the face was burned clean, and Ning Ruxue didn't see it. Based on these few parts, at most, Ye Wen could think that Ye Wen drew a barefoot dancer, and it was probably because of this that he looked at him that way.
"It's better than seeing the whole picture!"
Although I was misunderstood, it was not serious. The big deal was that I told my junior sister that I was studying drawing characters, and I would just draw some character pictures from time to time in the future.
"No matter how bad it is, let me say that I like to draw pictures of dancing girls! Doesn't Mr. Zhang also like to draw pictures of ladies? It's not surprising that we have such a hobby!"
After finding an excuse for himself, Ye Wen sealed the stove and turned it out from inside. It’s just that he never imagined that because of his excuse, he had to draw characters every now and then to deal with it. At the beginning, he drew men and women, and Xu Xian came here to ask for one from time to time.
Later, Ye Wen became ruthless and directly drew a shocking picture of a dancing girl. Although Xu Xian was amazed, he never dared to ask Ye Wen for a painting again—the dancing girl in that picture was so seductively drawn by Ye Wen, she was wearing a light shirt It seemed to be half-wet, showing a slender figure. If only relying on this point, others would only think that this is a picture of spring, but Ye Wen painted this person dignified and beautiful, and there was a hint of sadness on his face. The lifelike dance pose is even more tempting.
After Xu Xian saw it, he just said, "Brother, did you do this on purpose?"
Ye Wen snorted twice, but didn't answer, and said in his heart: "You kid has practiced Chunyang Kungfu to a critical moment, if you get this painting, how can you hold back?"
It's a pity that Xu Xian was quite self-aware after appreciating it for a while, so he just said: "This painting is wonderful, but unfortunately, my junior brother, I would never dare to take it!" After that, I never mentioned that painting again, as if I forgot about it.
If he doesn't want it, Ye Wen feels sad again, keep it for himself? If the junior sister sees it, it may not be what kind of eyes. If she misunderstood that he liked those prostitutes, how could he explain clearly?
Burned? It's a pity that Ye Wen made this painting in a hurry, it's definitely a good one, even he himself can't draw a second one, after all, inspiration is more elusive than understanding, it's not that easy hit.
It just so happened that Liu Muyan walked in with an iron pen—the iron pen specially made by Yu Ye, but it was coated with an iron shell on the outside of the ordinary writing brush, so it was just a heavy pen, not a weapon.
Seeing Liu Muyan, Ye Wen had a flash of inspiration and called him over: "Muyan, you have come to Shushan to learn calligraphy with me for a while, and I haven't given you anything. This painting is for your teacher. The one I just painted is a rare masterpiece, so I give it to you!"
Liu Muyan was delighted when he heard that his master had painted a new painting——Xu Xian took a painting from Ye Wen from time to time, and he was very envious. Going forward, I found a picture of a dancing girl who was extremely seductive, and her face was bitter.
He originally got a landscape painting by himself, or a picture of some knights arrogating to the top of the peak, but he didn't expect it to be such an extremely tempting picture. Good is good, but it seems that this painting is difficult to show to relatives and friends.
However, it was a gift from the master, but he had to accept it, so he had to put away the painting with a sad face, keep it carefully, and at the same time said: "Thank you, master, for the painting!" Then he continued to concentrate on practicing calligraphy.
Ye Wen, who got rid of a trouble, didn't know if he had any guilt in his heart. He was very dedicated to guiding Liu Muyan these days, explaining in detail the turning point of writing and explaining in detail. How to use your own skills when writing.
At the beginning, the handwriting was not very good-looking, but after getting used to it, the handwriting actually had a strong character. Liu Muyan was overjoyed when he saw this, and he was happier than when he matched the painting.
He didn't know that the teaching just now made Ye Wen think of another direction, and Liu Muyan's performance just now did not seem to be someone without understanding. After thinking about it, he asked: "Muyan, It has been almost half a year since you came to my Shu Mountain, during these days, have you thought about formally joining my Shu Mountain sect?"
Liu Muyan was writing happily, but was stunned when he heard the words, and asked: "Master treats students as if they are his own disciples, and the disciples are very grateful. If you can learn a few skills, you are already satisfied, and you don't want more!"
But Ye Wen said: "I just ask if you have thought about joining my Shushan faction, those other words are useless!"
Liu Muyan immediately understood that Ye Wen wanted him to give an accurate answer, and it was useless to talk about those twisted things. And looking at this posture, if he thinks about it, he will probably be included in the Shushan sect's gate wall and be listed as an official disciple, which must be recorded in the sect's genealogy. It is very different from his current student who is just a name.
These days, he has also lived on the mountain for a long time, and he has a general impression of the Shushan School, thinking to himself: "Although the Shushan School is not a famous school in the world, it can be regarded as the righteous way of the world! Although I entered the world as a scholar Martial arts is not well-established, but Master treats me as if he passed it on personally, and he never hides any secrets when imparting skills, how can I just leave like this?"
After much deliberation, he finally felt that Ye Wen treated him with sincerity, and at this time the court did not prohibit officials from learning martial arts from his master, which would have little effect on his future career, so he replied: "If possible, students would naturally like to worship under their master. In the faction, listen to Master's teaching every day!" As for Ye Wen being several years younger than him, he didn't care about that. In the book, those who speak well come first, whether it is calligraphy, painting or martial arts, Ye Wen does not know how much better than him, and it is more than enough to be his master.
Seeing that he was willing to worship the Shushan School, Ye Wen was also very happy, so he said with a smile: "You have already performed the ceremony of apprenticeship, so this part can be avoided! Later, follow me to worship the ancestor of this school, and you You have entered the gate of my Shushan School. As for the rules of our Shushan School, you should have understood it after living here for so long, so I won’t say more. Only this one martial art, but you have to work hard!”
Liu Muyan originally thought that it was okay to join the Shushan School, but now he remembered that the Shushan School was more or less a famous martial arts school in Pingzhou. Now that he has worshiped the head of the sect as his teacher, his martial arts must not be left behind.
It's just that he stayed for half a year and learned some kung fu, and it was still commonplace. He only thought that he had no talent, so he forgot about it.
"Master, this disciple's talent for practicing martial arts..."
"It is said that diligence can make up for weakness. Mu Yan, you practiced martial arts too late, and you have passed the best age for learning internal skills. In addition, your body is weak, and you have just recuperated at this time. My disciple is not as good as ordinary people! But as long as you If you persevere, even if you can't be famous in the world, you will always achieve something! Also, if your ambition is not here, it is good to practice martial arts for self-defense."
Ye Wen thought for a while, and then said: "Although your internal strength is mediocre, you have a good understanding of the method of moving strength. Just now, the method of moving strength that I passed on to you is mostly born out of our school's cotton palm and other kung fu. The trick, you learn it without any hesitation, which shows that you are still quite qualified! You just need to find the right exercises to practice more diligently!"
"Then what kind of kung fu should this disciple learn in the future?" Hearing this, Liu Muyan also became interested, and even faintly looked forward to it. After all, it's impossible not to be envious of a group of people who can go up and down all day long. Every time I see Xu Xian waving a long sword and going back and forth in places that he can't go up to, I feel a little bit sad. Feeling sour, I can only say one sentence in a place where there is no one: "Isn't it good to study? You have to use swords and swords..."
"Uh..." Ye Wen pondered for a while, and finally saw the stylus in Liu Muyan's hand: "Muyan, it's hard for you to improve your internal skills. You can use multiple moves to win with ingenuity!"
Liu Muyan nodded: "Then what should the disciple do in the future?"
"Well..." Ye Wen smiled, and finally said: "For now, you should continue to write and practice calligraphy, and wait until you have practiced the calligraphy first! Remember to practice the luck I taught you when writing. Strength method, it will also be of great benefit to your martial arts!"
Although he didn't get a satisfactory answer, Liu Muyan still has a direction to work on now. As for the future? He could have waited for a while and asked if his calligraphy had improved a bit.
In fact, Ye Wen only had a general idea in his mind. Originally, he thought that he should use Liu Muyan's soft sword around his fingers, but Liu Muyan's current internal strength is insufficient, so it is impossible to practice the soft sword around his fingers.
In addition, he thought about letting Liu Muyan use the Judgment Pen exclusively, but the Judgment Pen focuses on attacking the enemy's acupoints, and now he can't even find the most basic set of Judgment Pen skills, and he doesn't even have a set of fingering techniques for hitting acupuncture points. Otherwise, you can also make a set of kung fu with a judge's pen according to the fingering.
He also considered getting a strange weapon for Liu Muyan to practice, but in the end he found out that the kung fu of this strange weapon is more difficult to obtain than swordsmanship, and there is no school that uses strange weapons in the world today. Several big factions either use swords or knives, or simply unarmed.
After taking Liu Muyan to pay homage to the patriarch and list Liu Muyan as an official disciple, Ye Wen confessed: "Because you worshiped me as your teacher earlier than Jing'er, so you are ranked fourth. Don't call Jing'er indiscriminately in the future. !" Liu Muyan responded respectfully, and then talked with Ye Wen for a few words before going back to rest.
Seeing Liu Muyan walking away, Ye Wen went to a deserted place, looked at the soil on the ground, and casually forced out a column of air with his fingertips and swayed it, but when he saw the dust flying, a word was inscribed by him on the ground.
"Ah...it's a bit inappropriate to write this set of characters now!"
Looking at the twenty-four characters on the ground, Ye Wen thought about it and it was still inappropriate, not to mention that there are many techniques in this kung fu that he doesn't know at all, and it is really troublesome to restore them with the twenty-four characters.
What's more terrible is that these twenty-four characters are too sensitive. If Ye Wen fiddled with this skill and Liu Muyan used it to fight with others, how would he explain it after being peeped out the prototype of the twenty-four characters?
"You can't ask me to find a piece of black iron to build two magical weapons?" Thinking of all the troubles, Ye Wen waved away the idea and erased all the words: "Forget it, forget it, just think about other kung fu !"
Putting Liu Muyan's affairs aside, Ye Wen began to plan an engagement that would make Ning Ruxue happy. This time, he didn't just talk about it, but planned to publicize it so that the whole Shushan County would know about it—he didn't want to make too much noise, he just wanted to let some people around him know about it.
At the same time, people spread the post widely, although they didn't say who to invite, they only indicated that they would make a marriage with Ning Ruxue after the new year, but they wanted to take care of the problem of face, and there would probably be many people who would come to congratulate them.
The delivery of this post is also quite particular, and some ordinary small families are ignored, after all, the Shushan faction has already gained a lot of confidence now.
The Hushan faction and the Tianle gang had to give it away, regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with people, but the matter of face must be done properly. Afterwards, the closer ones such as the Yueshan Escort Bureau, the Xu Family of Shushan County, and the Shushan County Government all had to send a copy.
It is estimated that no one will come to the Shushan County Government, and even if they come, at most an unobtrusive representative will be sent. This post is probably just a matter of situation. The other two are equivalent to the Shushan faction as a family, so they have to be notified.
In addition, those who got the posts were the few remaining sects on Shushan Mountain, and they were all invited as neighbors. After going through these, the only ones who can still get posts are the wood gang in Linshan County. This is because the Shushan faction will open their business on the site of the wood gang after the New Year. Nice to meet you.
At this time, Ye Wen discovered that when his status reached a certain level, some things were no longer purely his own. It was a very ordinary engagement, but almost the whole Pingzhou knew about it. This was because of the influence of the Shushan faction. Not so much due to it.
In the future, when the power of the Shushan faction increases greatly and can affect the entire martial arts world, the news of Ye Wen's engagement at that time may be countless times more sensational than this, just like the big wedding of the head of the Tianshan faction a few years ago, which almost became The grand event of martial arts - also became an opportunity for Li Xuan, the head of Tianshan Mountain, to show off the strength of his sect.
It's a pity that Ye Wen's influence is limited at the moment, and it is already a great achievement to attract the whole Shushan to make a fuss.
What he didn't expect was that Ning Ruxue was very happy with what he had done, and she always smiled when she saw herself every day. Ye Wen secretly guessed that he had unintentionally satisfied the vanity of women, and all of them Because every woman has the idea of marrying herself off in a beautiful way, even though she is not married yet, Ning Ruxue is also very popular.
After all, Ye Wen is also a person who is not too big or too young. He was nicknamed Junzijian in Jianghu. With the constant movement of martial arts people, this title has spread to the two neighboring states, but the people there still have the impression of Junzijian. Vague, unknown, didn't care too much, only knew that there was such a person in Pingzhou, but this was already very serious.
"It's just that it's too troublesome to send posts back and forth, and we have to wait for those who want to come to congratulate gifts to arrive, so this date can't be set too close! There is no way to set it after the New Year, but I have to wrong my sister to wait for a while It's day..."
"What's the trouble?" When this matter was mentioned recently, Ning Ruxue's face was full of shyness, she was more feminine than before, and even Ye Wen was surprised: "It's just such a big change after getting married. , Could it be that women at this time are two different creatures before and after marriage?"
At the same time, on a certain mountain.
Standing alone in a large hall, one person sneered and said, "You don't have to drink a toast, you'll be fined. I'd have told you to hand over your daughter obediently. I have to force Lao Tzu to come to ask for her in person." The swordsman in the shirt, the countless corpses on the ground are obviously the work of this group of people whose swords are still dripping with blood.
The man bent down and grabbed a strong old man covered in wounds by the collar and shouted: "Huang Shiren! Where did you hide your daughter? I can give you a good time if you tell me obediently! Otherwise, your life will be worse than death." !"
