Chapter 17: That Cloud Pattern
The Qin people are straight, temperamental, and often see things that can lead to a sword at the drop of a hat.
However, the matter of the two dynasties, the city between the strong and can fight out what?
This kind of dispute, wait until the fire is dispersed, over and over, no one will be serious.
Everything went on as usual.
Ding Ning's daily routine is the same as in the past; he goes around Changling City in his free time, practicing late at night and opening his store early in the morning.
The weather is getting cooler and cooler, Ding Ning knows that Changling's autumn usually passes very quickly, and when the frost on the door panels gets thicker and thicker in the morning, he can count on his fingers to figure out when the first snow will arrive.
Still just after the morning noodle time, Ding Ning just finished a bowl of fat intestines noodles, cleaned his special coarse porcelain bowl, a side of the alleyway entrance, but laughing into a group of brightly dressed students.
Seeing the patterns on those students' clothes, Ding Ning's eyes showed a light that was not usually there.
He raised his head and looked at the sky above the sycamore tree, which had already lost all its leaves, and sighed softly in his heart with a great deal of emotion: "Is it finally here?"
......
The sword was the main weapon of the cultivators of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The boundaries of the Great Qin Dynasty were hacked out hard with swords by successive generations of cultivators during the years of conquest.
After the disappearance of the Zhao Sword Furnace, the Minshan Sword Sect and the Lingxu Sword Sect of the Great Qin Dynasty were recognized as the strongest sword cultivation sects in the world.
These two sword sects are extremely strict in their preaching and teaching, whether it's accepting disciples or disciples out of the mountain, each year only in a fixed number of days to open the door.
If the disciple can not be cultivated to a certain level, they can only stay in the door of the mountain cultivation for life, so as not to go out of the door of the mountain instead of being randomly chopped up by a sword, degradation of the prestige of the two sword sects.
In addition to these two sects, in Changling alone, there are hundreds of famous sword academies, there are Minshan Sword Sect and Lingxu Sword Sect such as the existence of learning and reference, these places of cultivation on weekdays to the disciples under the management of the natural and very strict.
The vast majority of cultivation places, only to reach the cultivation level above the third realm, have the qualification to walk freely outside, those students who are still far away from the third realm, will only be allowed to roam around outside on a few release days.
Now this batch of students like a bird out of the cage in general, body clothes have several kinds of decorations, body wear long sword is also different, obviously belong to several sword academies, just in the daytime relationship is good, so the companion together.
Inside these students, several of them have plain satin robes with cloud patterns on the cuffs, and Ding Ning's gaze falls on those cloud patterns from time to time.
......
Those who were able to enter the various sword courtyards were naturally the young talents of Changling, and those who were able to stay in the end were already set to become cultivators, and those who were able to relax and play so happily on the day of the release of the courtyards were naturally the best in the courtyards. Those students whose cultivation speed was not good, even on the day of release, they did not dare to relax for a moment, desperately cultivating, wanting to be among the top.
In this group of students, walking in the front of a tall, square-faced, look a little dragon-shaped tiger's footsteps of the momentum of the young man, is the South City Xu House of the fifth son of Xu Heshan.
South Xu House in the previous dynasty is the Guanzhong big family, and later produced a number of generals, was awarded a thousand households, is considered to be the depth of the foundation, and unlike many clans and valleys to the Yuanwu years will be due to the new policy and weakened.
The children of this generation of the Xu family are also very competitive, with the exception of a ninth son who has been sick since childhood and has no potential for cultivation, the rest of the children have all entered various places of cultivation.
This Xu Heshan was practicing in the Green Pine Sword Academy, and among the students of the same academy in the same year, he already had few rivals.
In addition to him, in this group of students, there is also a teenager wearing a plain satin robe and a young girl wearing a purple satin robe whose life is also extraordinary.
The teenager in plain satin robe seemed to be only 13 or 14 years old, with a medium build and a face that was young but full of pride, and the satin robe he was wearing happened to have a cloud pattern on the cuffs. This young man named Xie Changsheng, Xie family itself is a huge family in Zhongnan, his mother was born in the Wei dynasty Zhongshan gate valve, in the Qin, before the start of the Wei war, his mother from the Zhongshan family persuaded a lot of people to the Changling, and the Wei dynasty to cut off exchanges, Xie family later to occupy a place in the Changling, because of that an exceptionally far-sighted move.
As for the girl in purple satin robes, Nangong Cai Peas, is a new nobleman in Changling, his father is a general in the town of Lishi County, which was originally a major city of the Zhao Dynasty. Generally speaking, the generals who were able to defend such a place were the most trusted officials of the Emperor.
Although the same relationship is good young talent, but after all, the identity of the family has a difference, talk up, the rest of the people more or less will be a little formal and overly courteous, and even because of the fear of squeezing the three, and deliberately keep a certain distance from the three, so the three side of the body is obviously more than the rest of the people around the empty a lot.
These three people are not aware of, walking in the front of the Xu Heshan smiled, very talkative, see in front of the wine flag, he slightly side of the body, to the side of a number of young talents laughed: "should be that home, it is said that the brewing of wine is no rules and regulations, bad to the extreme, but because of the female owner of the beautiful, so the business is very good, today is to see whether the rumors are true. "
Beside him Xie Changsheng although young, heard the words but showed teeth a smile, said: "If it is really so, why don't you ask your father, first help you set up this marriage, accept as a concubine, so as not to be robbed first."
The surrounding young talents have laughed, wearing purple satin robe girl Nangong Cai Peas is disgusted like a frown, looking at Xu Heshan and Xie Changsheng coldly snorted: "I'm afraid that really so, in the end, but in the end it is brother Xu's father more concubines."
Xu Heshan instantly showed a look of embarrassment, his father was also known to be lustful and had already taken nine concubines.
Because of the rare days of relaxation, these young talents were all in excellent moods, and in the midst of a cacophony of laughter, Xu Heshan, who was at the front of the line, finally stepped across into this nameless wine store in Wutong Fall.
Ding Ning calmly looked at Xu Heshan who crossed the threshold.
Xu Heshan, who was in an excellent mood, glanced at the surroundings and looked at Ding Ning, who did not take the initiative to come up to greet him, and thought that the environment of this liquor store was indeed consistent with the legend, so he smiled warmly and looked at Ding Ning and asked, "This small boss, are you the only one in the store?"
Ding Ning looked at these young Changling talents and said very directly, "Are you guys here to drink, or do you want to see my sister-in-law?"
Looking at Ding Ning's reaction, these Changling young talents were all stunned, and then reacted to the fact that the other party must have seen a lot of things like this on weekdays, and the expectations in these people's hearts were instantly raised by a few more points.
The tender-faced Xie Changsheng was the most old-fashioned at this time, and smiled faintly: "So what if I want to drink, so what if I want to see your sister-in-law?"
Ding Ning said nonchalantly, "To drink according to the rules to come over to pay to take wine to find a seat, to see my sister-in-law, unless this outside wine has been sold out all."
"That's somewhat interesting."
A group of people laughed out loud.
"No wonder business is so good, I just hope it doesn't disappoint us." Xie Changsheng shook his head and smiled, casually taking out a coin from within his coat and throwing it on the table.
The sound of the coin landing on the table was slight, yet even those young talents behind Xie Changsheng were slightly shaken in their hearts.
It was a Mica Blade coin.
"If you don't let me down, what's the harm in rewarding you with this Mica Blade Coin." What made those young talents realize that there was an unspeakable gap between them and Xie Changsheng was that Xie Changsheng, who had casually thrown out this Mica Blade Coin, went on to say in a breezy manner.
Nangong Cai Beans frowned deeply, even if the Xie family was indeed a great wealth in Guanzhong, but Xie Changsheng's behavior was still displeasing to her.
Even if she was able to shock the young man, Xie Changsheng didn't think about the fact that most of the people around him might not have a single Mica Sword Coin for a year's worth of money.
Gaining much help, losing little help, sometimes it is often this kind of unintentional behavior, can make the heart gap, can not be close.
However, right at this moment, a calm voice rang out, "Take your own wine if you want it."
Nangong Caiyang was instantly stunned.
She looked at Ding Ning in shock, as if she was trying to discern a flower from Ding Ning's calm face.
The crowd was also stunned.
This was also a reply that Xie Changsheng had not expected, he raised his head and looked at Ding Ning unhappily, saying, "Is it okay to just buy and not drink, the most important thing in business is to know how to be flexible, can't you just send a few more altars out?"
Ding Ning immediately turned his head and shouted at the backyard, "Auntie."
Reacting so swiftly, Xie Changsheng couldn't help but be stunned.
Xu Heshan and the others looked at each other and laughed, all finding Ding Ning amusing, and right at this moment, one of the cloth curtains that connected to the backyard was rolled by the breeze, and Changsun Shaxue, who was holding a wine altar, stepped out.
All of the young talents, whether it was Xu Heshan or Xie Changsheng, or even Nangong Caixiang, just at the first sight of Changsun Shaxue, their hearts thumped, just like the shock they felt the first time they saw a venerable elder of the Sword Courtyard display his realm.
They all froze dumbfounded, their hearts in total disbelief that in a place like Wutong Drop, there was actually such an exquisitely beautiful woman.
Xie Changsheng lips slightly open, easily can throw a thousand dollars he at this time but all can not say.
Changsun shallow snow at this time look at his eyes are very cold, so that his hands seem to be a little cold, but what he thought in his mind at the moment is, such a fairy beautiful woman, if it is to show a smile, will be what color.
"With a bang, Changsun Shaxue placed the wine altar she was holding on the stage in front of Ding Ning.
Xu Heshan's heart also jumped violently for this, before he came back to his senses.
This was all as Ding Ning had imagined, yet right at this moment, his face changed slightly.
The sound of horses' hooves rose, and at one end of the alley, there was a carriage that came without haste.
