Bamboo horse has several faces

Chapter 6 First Meeting

Ye Huai was born in the mortal Ye family. The Ye family was a mortal royal family that ruled mortals for nearly a thousand years, and then fell apart in accordance with the "general trend of the world" that "divided for a long time must unite, and united for a long time must divide".

Ye Huai is the only bloodline of the subjugated king of the Ye family. Before the age of three, he was pampered and pampered with the title of prince. When he was just at the age of Kaimeng, he was taken away by the nanny.He has a very vague impression of his parents. He only knows from the nanny's narrative that they all died in the palace that was invaded by the princes, and then the princes all aimed at him. The whereabouts, just to be able to "hold the emperor" and declare that he is the "orthodox".

During such a large-scale raid, the nanny took him and his own child to hide in Tibet all the way, hiding their names, and had to move if there was any movement.But in that era, this kind of work was very difficult to find. Later, in a cold winter, the nanny sold him to a rich businessman as her son. A sum of money, which allowed her and her own son to survive this winter.

Before parting, the nanny hugged Ye Huai and cried softly, saying sorry to the empress, but she really couldn't help it. The six-year-old Ye Huai touched the nanny's face and said it was okay, enough was enough, thank the nanny for taking care of her all the time.

Like a sensible little adult.

The nurse stroked Ye Huai's eyebrows. The child's father was handsome and noble, and his mother was a great beauty. Although Ye Huai was young, he could already tell that he was the embryo of a little beauty. Such a child was actually very dangerous in troubled times. Yes, if it weren't for the rich businessman's reputation, she wouldn't feel at ease letting the child go like this.

"In the future, when you are alone, you must take good care of yourself."

After the nanny gave these instructions, she took her child and left.

The wealthy businessman is a very gentle gentleman. He is old and has no heirs. He bought Ye Huai to inherit his surname and inherit the incense. Unexpectedly, a person who claimed to be a cultivator came to his door that night and asked the rich businessman for Ye Huai. It is said that it can be exchanged for the magic medicine for wealthy businessmen to rejuvenate.

The wealthy businessman was a little hesitant at first, but after taking the man's medicine, his appearance and physical functions did become younger, so he sold Ye Huai to the cultivator without hesitation in exchange for a bottle of magic medicine - after all, he bought it Heirs are not as good as him returning to his old age and giving birth to his own son.

So Ye Huai was transferred to this cultivator again.

The cultivator is an evil cultivator. He has stared at Ye Huai for a long time, but all cultivators pay attention to cause and effect, especially the cause and effect with ordinary people.

The nanny is very vigilant, he will definitely not succeed in exchanging Ye Huai directly with the nanny, but the rich businessman is different, a bottle of medicine is exchanged for a child, and both cause and effect can be cleared.

He wanted Ye Huai because he knew Ye Huai's true identity. Ye Huai was the only descendant of Ye Fanchen, the founding emperor of the Ye Dynasty.

Ye Fanchen is the emperor with the grand destiny of Ziwei. Although the luck of Ye Huai's generation has been so thin that it is close to nothing, Ye Huai still has the best single tree besides the dispensable luck. The unenlightened and comprehensible body of the spiritual root.

The spiritual root of the wood attribute has a strong nourishing effect, and Ye Huai has not yet been enlightened by introducing qi into the body, so it is perfect for refining a furnace.

When Ye Huai was tormented by the evil cultivator until he was on the verge of the last step, Luo Zhi, the senior brother of the Guiyuan Sword Sect who had accepted the task of killing the evil cultivator, descended from the sky and rescued Ye Huai.At that time, Ye Huai had already been soaked in several rounds of potions, Luo Zhi had no choice but to send the child to the Godly Doctor Valley to repair the damage caused by those potions in his body, and then make plans.

Ye Huai stayed in Miracle Doctor Valley for a while, got to know the world of comprehension and practitioners, and got to know Fang Yi, the master of Shaogu, who was similar in age to him. He recruited cats and dogs in the Valley of the Miraculous Doctor, and the owner of the valley of the Miraculous Doctor also indulged him. Because Ye Huailingen was excellent and got along well with his little grandson, he thought about taking him in as an apprentice.But Ye Huai didn't know if he had seen Luo Zhi's demeanor of beheading evil cultivators with a sword, so he tried his best to become a sword cultivator. Later, Luo Zhi found out Ye Huai's identity and brought him back to be a sword cultivator. Guiyuan Sword Sect.

Ye Huai is not only a descendant of Emperor Ye Fanchen, but also a descendant of the Duan family of Guiyuan Sword Sect.The Emperor's only wife is Duan Qingyuan, the aunt of Duan Yincang, the current head of the Guiyuan Sword Sect.

Ye Huai followed Luo Zhi to Changfeng Ridge. Duan Yincang, the head of the family at that time, was very happy about Ye Huai's return. This child possesses the best wood spirit root and is obsessed with the way of swordsmanship, which is also in line with Duan Qingyuan's cultivation path back then.

So even though Ye Huai's blood is far from them, Duan Yincang is still kind to him.

So he led Ye Huai to the peach blossom forest where his son practiced sword. The pink petals fluttered down with the movements of the young man in the forest, like a snowfall in spring.

A sword energy that does not form a sword intent strikes here, but is blocked by Duan Yincang with a smile.

A young man dressed in a white Taoist robe inlaid with silver border came out of the pink peach forest. His brows and eyes were calm but hidden a hint of sharpness. He bowed to Duan Yincang and called out "Father" in a clear voice. .

Duan Yincang commented on the boy's sword qi just now, and then pulled Ye Huai in front of him: "Songyang, this is Ye Huai."

Duan Songyang's amber eyes looked at this good-looking, smart-eyed peer, nodded slightly to him, and showed a decent smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

She doesn't have any liveliness that belongs to this age, and her gestures are calm.

Ye Huai caught Duan Songyang's good-looking eyes with sharp eyes, the irritability that flashed past under this polite smile.

Ye Huai, who knew how to read people's faces since he was a child, immediately understood that the young master might not welcome his arrival. Coupled with his behavior, Ye Huai knew that Duan Songyang was not as friendly as Fang Yi. He's the joking type.

So Ye Huai had no choice but to put away his thoughts of wanting to make friends and get close, and obediently responded with "Hello" and stopped talking.

This is the first time the two met.

They are eight years old this year.

"Songyang," Duan Yincang said to Duan Songyang gently, "Ye Huai will stay with you first, and you can take him to get acquainted with the sect during this time."

Ye Huai saw Duan Songyang frowned slightly, but immediately concealed it well, saluted Duan Yincang and said "obey".

It's a bit fake, Ye Huai thought.

So he interrupted Duan Yincang's arrangement: "That..."

Duan Songyang looked at Ye Huai with a polite and alienated smile, like a decent host, the two children looked at each other and staggered tacitly.

Duan Yincang asked: "What's wrong?"

Ye Huai smiled at Duan Yincang, he was born well, the baby with red lips and white teeth made people feel good when he smiled at him: "Master Sect Master, that... I just need to live with other disciples, don't bother the Sect Master. "

He felt Duan Songyang's eyes on him, and he continued to explain with a smile: "I think the young master should be very powerful now, but I just learned how to draw qi into the body. If I live with the young master, I'm afraid it will disturb you." He practiced, dragging down his progress."

At this time, Duan Songyang was indeed very powerful among his peers. He was only eight years old and had already entered the late stage of Qi refining, showing faint signs of foundation building.And Ye Huai, as a newcomer to cultivation, has only a vague concept of the journey of sword cultivation, and has not mastered the knack of cultivation. The two people's current cultivation levels are very different, and they can't learn together.

After Ye Huai said this, Sect Leader Duan felt that his arrangement was indeed inappropriate.

Duan Yincang is not the kind of authoritarian parent. Ye Huai made it clear to him, but no matter what he said, he is the blood of the Duan family. Before he came to the world of self-cultivation, he suffered all those crimes. If he is allowed to live with those other disciples... Duan Yincang Yincang felt a little sorry again.

"Besides, I came to Guiyuan Sword Sect to seek Taoism and practice," Ye Huai blinked, "The ancients said that ordinary people have to endure hardships in order to forge their muscles and bones, and cultivation is probably the same, so I Now that you have chosen to embark on this path, you are ready.”

Looking at Ye Huai's bright eyes, Duan Yincang had to sigh in his heart, this child really has his Duan family's blood, and that legendary aunt also said similar things when she decided to use the wood spirit root to enter the way of swordsman.

"Forget it, since you said so, then let Songyang take you to Disciple Peak."

Seeing Duan Songyang's quietly relieved expression, Ye Huai pouted in his heart, obviously unwilling, why did he agree, isn't it tiring?

Finally, the two children who sent Duan Yincang away stared wide-eyed, and then Duan Songyang took the first step: "Please follow me."

Duan Songyang walked in front, and Ye Huai followed behind him. The heights of the two were almost the same, but Duan Songyang walked steadily and maturely, while Ye Huai looked around curiously, and sometimes trotted when he couldn't keep up. The disciples would all stop and salute Duan Songyang respectfully, while Duan Songyang nodded slightly to them in return.

This scene reminded Ye Huai of his few memories about the imperial palace. He vaguely remembered that he was also hugged by a nanny or a palace lady. Call out "His Royal Highness".

Looking at it this way, this cultivation sect and the mortal palace are really the same in some things.

"It is "only by suffering through hardships can one become a master" and "Heaven will send a great mission to the people, and they must first suffer from their hearts and minds, and work their muscles and bones." "

Duan Songyang suddenly said such a sentence, which brought Ye Huai back to his mind.

"what?"

Then he realized, was this person correcting what he said before?

Ye Huai has not received much enlightenment since he was a child, so it is not bad to be able to think of these two sentences that look like one sentence. Now this person is telling him this...

"Oh, I'm taught." Ye Huai nodded, "I didn't expect to learn the knowledge of these mortals in the cultivation world."

Duan Songyang stopped, they had already arrived in a four-cornered pavilion, he turned to look at Ye Huai, there are no adults here now.

"Thank you for what you said just now, which saved me some trouble," Duan Songyang nodded and said, "After all, it is really not suitable for you to live with me now, and it will also affect the progress of each other's practice."

Rao Ye Huai is familiar with the truth of being a man with his tail tucked under the fence, and now he feels a little dissatisfied with the young master in front of him.

You have the ability to tell your father just now!What's the matter with my pride now.

"You're welcome," Ye Huai said unceremoniously, "Then I will ask the young master to show me the way. I will go to the disciple's residence by myself. Don't delay the young master's practice today."

Duan Songyang heard his dissatisfaction from Ye Huai's tone, he stretched out his hand to take Ye Huai's hand, Ye Huai looked at his movements inexplicably.

Then he felt Duan Songyang's calloused fingers touch his wrist, and a mark like a sword mark appeared on his white and tender wrist.

Ye Huai took his hand out of Duan Songyang's hand, looked at the golden mark and said angrily: "What are you doing!"

"Father told me that although I don't live with you, I will take care of your practice," Duan Songyang pointed to the golden mark, and said in an adult tone, "so the first, tenth, twentieth, and third days of every month In ten days, I will come to you to test your progress in practice, and I hope you will not be lazy, practice hard, and catch up with the progress as soon as possible."
