Bai Nan told Shitou and Zhou Xiaotong that they were leaving when they returned to Lijia Village after school the next day. The two of them were stunned when they heard it just now. They knew that Papa Bai had an accident and was hospitalized, but they didn't know that Papa Bai's legs could no longer walk. Now that they heard that the siblings were going to move to City S, they stared blankly at him for a while. They couldn't speak.
Gradually, the girl Zhou Xiaotong's expression became melancholy, her eyes were full of reluctance, she reached out to hold Baitang's hand, and kept asking, "Yesterday, I said that I would go to high school together, I didn't expect you to go to S City Well, then you won't come back in the future? Will the Bai family treat you well? Are the classes there the same as ours? "
"Bai Nan and I will come back to see you when we have time." This is all Baitang can promise.
"That's right. City S is in the next province. My sister and I can come here just by buying a train ticket."
After all, Shitou is a boy, emotionally restrained than Zhou Xiaotong, but there is also a look of reluctance in his eyes. However, he just patted Bai Nan on the shoulder, "When you arrive at Bai's house, just call my house and tell me the address. If you go to Bai's house and they treat you badly, you will come back."
"My dad is here." Bai Nan wasn't worried about going to Bai's house, on the contrary, she was looking forward to it with a little excitement. "At that time, you can also go to S city and come to play with us."
So, the originally sad topic was diverted to what are the fun places in S City. Soon, the three of them had visions of playing together in S City in the future.
Bai Tang secretly shook his head beside him, the friendship between the children came quickly and innocently, but it was easily diluted by time and distance. In her memory, the relationship with the little girl gradually drifted away in high school. Bai Nan and Shitou still have a relationship when they grow up, but every time they face her, their words and deeds are full of restraint, and there is no such thing as now. Feel free at this time.
"Then we're going back." When they parted, the two of them remembered the news that they were leaving again, and they inevitably became sentimental again.
"See you tomorrow."
Back home, the siblings did their homework after eating as usual.
For the next few days, Shitou and Zhou Xiaotong thought they were leaving, so they came to play with them every night after dinner. The recreational activities at this time are playing cards and mahjong. Exactly four people, no need to find someone to make up the number for anything.
Then, whether it was playing cards or mahjong, the other three found that Baitang suddenly became like a cheater, no matter what they played with her, no matter what they lost, they couldn't beat her even if they secretly teamed up to cheat.
"Thirteen Yao." Another round of mahjong, Bai Tang turned over the cards that had been lost, and the expressions of the other three became numb.
Bai Nan directly threw away the cards in his hand, "Don't play anymore, it's too boring if you always win alone."
"Well, I also think it's not as fun as before." Zhou Xiaotong echoed weakly.
Stone really shuffled the cards, and when he heard them, he asked honestly, "Then what are you playing?" Playing cards, they lost even more.
Baitang touched the cards in his hand, and suddenly had an idea, what kind of picture would it be if the monks also played mahjong. Will it be because of mahjong that you don't want to practice anymore, or are there still people who use mahjong to enter the Tao
Thinking of a group of monks playing mahjong, Baitang felt happy, and heard them discussing what they were playing, and said on a whim: "Bai Nan, didn't you keep a sword in your collection? Go and take it out."
"What are you using it for?" Bai Nan asked a little babyishly.
Baitang smiled, "Teach you how to practice swords."
Bai Nan showed a skeptical expression of "you're kidding me", but she was used to being bullied by Bai Tang, so she went to her room and brought this very precious sword to her.
Bai Tang caught the sword that Bai Nan handed over carefully. It was a martial arts sword that Papa Bai brought back from outside as a gift to the child when he first fell in love with martial arts novels. But in fact, this sword was taken by Papa Bai from Gu Yan. She stretched out two fingers and swipe lightly on the blade, a faint sense of regret flashed in her eyes - from now on, she will never hear the sound of the sword again. Immediately, several people were taken to the outside yard.
The moon and stars were scarce in the sky, Bai Nan turned on the lamp that could illuminate the courtyard, and saw Baitang's whole aura changed, just like the sharpness of the sword when it was unsheathed mentioned in martial arts novels, but it was different. He couldn't find any words to describe it, and couldn't help but stare at the person who started dancing the sword.
"When will my sister be able to play swords?" Although the people in the yard were a little uncoordinated at the beginning, after a while, the swords they swung brought gusts of wind, and their movements seemed a little slow. . Shi Shi couldn't understand it, he simply felt that Baitang's sword was very powerful, and his eyes were straightened. "Could it be that you went to a martial arts school?"
"I don't know either." Bai Nan replied dryly. He and Baitang are together every day, and he has never seen Baitang holding a sword. But the way he looks now, how could he use it casually for fun? practiced. Thinking of this, I felt a little angry, angry that Baitang was hiding something from him.
"Baitang is really good." The little girl is not as enthusiastic about dancing swords and swords as boys, and pays more attention to whether Baitang looks good when dancing swords. Baitang's sword is naturally beautiful to swing.
The sword moves that Baitang is using now are a set of basic sword skills that all beginner disciples of Qingyun Sect will learn. When she first arrived in the realm of self-cultivation, she was not keen on cultivation, neither was her comprehension in the way of swordsmanship. At that time, her sword moves were mostly cunning for convenience and laziness, and she was often preached by her senior brother as an opportunistic way. After suffering a loss, I began to really take the journey of cultivation to heart.
She hasn't practiced this set of swordsmanship since she raised her cultivation base, and now she uses it one move at a time, even if she changes to a body without spiritual power, it still seems to be engraved into every part of her body. Thinking of the next move, the hand has already been used first. And her perception of the sword is no longer that of a really ignorant girl who was a beginner in cultivation, and the sword moves in her hands are naturally different from the feelings she used before.
Gradually, the three of Bai Nan saw that the originally slow and somewhat dull sword moves became extremely fast, and suddenly their eyes were almost as fast as Baitang's sword moves. But this situation quickly disappeared, because Baitang's physical strength and body coordination simply couldn't support this speed.
Baitang had to slow down, feeling more and more melancholy. Flying with the sword and killing the enemy with the sword are all synonymous with the past. And the few sword moves she created by herself, without the support of spiritual power, she couldn't do it even if she wanted to miss it.
In the end, Baitang withdrew his sword with a move of "Bright Wind and Bright Moon". The first pose she created was inspired by this move "Breezy Wind and Bright Moon".
"Master, I think this move of Qingfengmingyue can be changed into Mingyue according to my heart."
"Um?"
"The moon shines on my heart."
Bai Tang came back to his senses, the three people in the corridor all looked stunned and shocked. She threw the sword back to Bai Nan, who subconsciously reached out to hug her, then followed her curiously and asked, "Bai Tang, where did you learn your sword? I want to learn it too!" It's so handsome. .
"Yes, sister, I also want to learn." Under the influence of so many martial arts novels, which boy would not want to fight the sword like the protagonist in them, "Baitang, you have become so powerful." Nothing to pursue.
"I'm a little tired today, I want to go to bed first." Baitang was telling the truth, her body hadn't done any exercise, and some movements couldn't be done just like the one with the sword just now, and she forcibly made them . So after a set, the body is exhausted enough, not to mention thinking of some of the past, it is more sad.
Baitang sighed in her heart, she only hoped that the second young master of the Zhou family would go well, otherwise she would be physically disabled if she made a few more impulsive moves.
"... Then I will have a chance later, sister, you must teach me." Shitou's eyes were burning.
"it is good."
After sending Shitou and Zhou Xiaotong away, Baitang took a shower and was about to go to bed, when Bai Nan knocked on the door outside. After letting him in, the child walked over with an expression of "I'm angry". Slightly raising his eyebrows, the child stated affirmatively: "Baitang, you have something to hide from me."
"No."
"You have!" Bai Nan glared at her, "I didn't even know you could use a sword."
"This one, I went to school on TV."
"Liar! You think I'm a three-year-old boy, don't you know how to read?"
Baitang smiled slightly, "That's what I learned in my dream."
"Baitang!"
Baitang put away her smile, raised her lowered hand to rub the child's head, and said deeply: "Bai Nan, everyone has little secrets that they don't want to share with others, and you will also have them in the future. "
Bai Nan didn't like her way of dismissing the children, but when it came to this point, he couldn't force Bai Tang to tell her secrets that she didn't want to share with others. Finally, with a snort, he ran out and ignored her.
After he left, Baitang lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
That night, Baitang had a rare dream, in which she and her little apprentice met for the first time.
When Bai Tang saw Shen Tingjun for the first time, he didn't have a good impression of this child, because this child had a pair of eyes that looked like Gu Yan. But when she saw that a child with such eyes was about to die at the hands of a spirit beast, she was annoyed again. She then rescued the child and sent him to a nearby town.
"Can I also cultivate immortality?" Shen Tingjun asked the first sentence when Baitang was about to leave.
Bai Tang didn't want to answer at first, but under the gaze of those eyes that looked like Gu Yan, he still didn't hold back, but his voice was a little cold: "In ten days, there will be a sect in Jingcheng to recruit disciples." Jingcheng is far away from here It will take more than ten days to travel day and night at a fast pace. Given the child's young age, he will naturally not be able to keep up.
"Is that the fairy school?"
"Yes."
Shen Tingjun smiled slowly, even though his face hadn't fully opened yet, this smile had a kind of elegance that others couldn't match, "Then I will definitely worship the fairy sect."
Baitang directly followed the flying spirit weapon and left.
A month later, she finished her training and returned to Qing Yunzong, and ran into Shen Tingjun in the medicine garden of the elder of the outer sect.
Baitang opened his eyes suddenly, the sun was rising outside, indicating a fine day. She got up and walked to the desk. At the same time, she drew the front curtain and opened the window, and the fresh morning air came in immediately.
Baitang took a deep breath, but saw a familiar car parked downstairs, and couldn't help but think of the pair of eyes that resembled its owner in his dream. The next moment, Gu Yan got out of the car, and when he turned to the door, he raised his head and met Bai Tang's gaze impartially.
