Chapter 59: Leisurely Chat in the Garden
"Good, Brother Song was right." Just as everyone fell silent, Wei Bi applauded and exclaimed, "This three-foot green sword may not be comparable to the Heaven-relying Sword or the Dragon-slaying Knife, but it's probably only slightly inferior. It's a rare and exceptional divine artifact." As he spoke, his tone also involuntarily revealed envy. At the same time, his eyes were fixed tightly on the three-foot green sword, his gaze shifting back and forth, lost in thought.
"Haha, Brother Wei is overpraising." Song Qing Shu was somewhat surprised that Wei Wei had recovered so quickly. He's someone who can pick up and put down, a character, Song Qing Shu evaluated Wei Wei in his heart.
This kind of person can be flexible and adaptable. When they fall into difficulties, they may become beggars or gangsters, but as soon as they seize the opportunity, they will soar to great heights.
"What was on his mind wasn't apparent, but he said with a smile, 'It's just that I damaged Wei Xiong's sword, it wasn't intentional.'"
"Eh, Brother Song said something," Wei Bei waved his hand and said, "Don't say it was my own request, being able to see such a divine weapon is already my good fortune. Brother Song doesn't need to blame himself, besides, it's just a trivial matter of one weapon, Brother Song shouldn't take it to heart."
"It can't be helped." Song Qing Shu nodded and said.
"It's good, it's still early now, why don't we find a place to sit down and have a nice chat?" Wei Bi suggested.
"As you wish, I dare not decline." Song Qing said.
"Alright, then." Wei Wuji laughed and said.
"Please."
Wei Wei led the way, followed closely by Song Qing Shu. Zhu Jiu Zhen and Wu Qing Yin exchanged a smile and also followed. The group walked together to find a pavilion to sit down in, watching the sunset's afterglow while chatting and laughing.
Wei Wei and Zhu Jiu Zhen, Wu Qingying three people, although they said that martial arts are not good, but also the children of a noble family, plus the family's profound learning, once started talking, from all over the world, history, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, strange events, can be said to be proficient in everything.
Song Qingxue was no exception, let alone being the third generation of Wudang Sect's direct disciples, those things were all learned, not to mention the power of the previous life's internet, what kind of things didn't know one or two.
For a time, everyone was surprisingly getting along famously. There was even a sense of regret that they had not met sooner.
Song Qing couldn't help but sigh inwardly, indeed there wasn't a single simple one, even if he looked down on this kind of person, he couldn't deny their ferocity. If it weren't for knowing that they had a big heart, he would have probably already considered them as good friends by now.
Everyone is a person in the martial arts world, talking and talking, and inadvertently they started discussing martial arts.
When it comes to martial arts, among the crowd, Song Qingchu is undoubtedly the first person, whether in terms of cultivation or experience.
But Zhu Wu and his wife were not willing to show weakness. Although they themselves were not capable, who made them have a good ancestor and a good family background.
Zhu Jiu Zhen and Wu Qing Ying chatted enthusiastically, recounting the martial arts passed down through both the Zhu and Wu families as if they were treasured family heirlooms. The Zhu family's "One Yang Finger" and Judge Pen Method, One Yang Finger was originally a unique skill of the Duan family from Dali, while the Judge Pen Method was a martial art created by Zhu Zi Liu himself. It had a similar yet distinct charm to Zhang San Feng's creation, the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon Technique.
As for the family heirloom of the Wu family, it is the ultimate skill of Peach Blossom Island, "Lan Hua Fu Xue Shou" and "Luo Ying Jian Fa". It can be said that Wu Xiuwen's master, Guo Jing and Huang Rong, had mastered the skills of the three families, "Dong Xie", "Nan Di" and "Bei Gai". There shouldn't be only this little left.
It turned out that Wu Xiawen himself had poor aptitude and didn't learn it thoroughly, and what he mainly learned back then was the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, but unfortunately, he also didn't master it. Secondly, Wu Xiawen and Zhu Ziliu were afraid of their junior disciples 'a commoner is innocent, but one who possesses jade will be guilty', so they didn't pass down many things. Instead, they sealed up all the other ultimate skills.
But even so, the people of Zhuwu Village shouldn't be this bad, right?
Actually, there is another reason. The current Zhu Wu Lian Huan Villa is no longer the one built by Zhu Zi Liu and others back then. A big fire broke out at that time, burning Zhu Wu Lian Huan Villa into ruins, and the martial arts of both Zhu and Wu families were also destroyed in that fire. Only "One Yang Finger", "Judge Pen Method", "Lan Flower Brush Hole Hand" and "Fallen Petal Sword Method" remained relatively intact. Even the boxes containing other martial arts sealed with thousand-year-old mysterious iron by Zhu Zi Liu and Wu Xiuwen back then had disappeared in that fire.
Unfortunately, among the preserved martial arts, although they were all top-notch techniques, they lacked good internal skills. Therefore, Zhu Wu Lian Huan Zhuang declined as a result.
Song Qing Shu could only describe it as a calamity from the heavens. If Zhu Wu Lian Huan Zhuang hadn't had that great fire, even if Zhu Zi Liu Wu Xiu Wen's legacy wasn't much back then, it probably wouldn't be weaker than the six major sects' existence. What a pity! It truly is 'the heavens have unpredictable winds and clouds, people have fortunes and disasters in the morning and evening'.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's already a bright mirror hanging high, with stars shining all over the sky.
Just then, another servant came to report that the host had set up a banquet in the East Flower Hall and invited Song Qing to attend.
"Hehe, I didn't think it's been such a long time," Wei Bi said with a smile.
"Yes, yes! I thought it was just a short while. Didn't expect that it's already time to eat." Zhu Jiu Zhen also said, Wu Qing Yin didn't speak but nodded in agreement.
"Haha, I deeply agree with that!" Song Qing Shu laughed and said, "However, there's still a long way to go, we have plenty of time."
"Not bad, Brother Song is right. There's always tomorrow anyway." Wei Bi also nodded in agreement and said, "Alright, since Uncle has already prepared the banquet, let's hurry up and go, don't keep him waiting for too long."
"Good."
"Right."
"Let's go."
Song Qing Shu, Zhu Jiu Zhen and Wu Qing Ying all nodded in agreement without any objection. Everyone nodded their heads in consent, then Zhu Jiu Zhen led the way first, bringing everyone to the East Flower Hall.
................................................................
It was already midnight when Song Qing returned to the west wing, washed up and took a sip of the clear tea sent by the servant, silently sighing.
"Zhu Changling's acting is indeed worthy of a movie emperor, every word and action is just right, blending into life, as if he was originally such a person."
"If I hadn't known his true nature, I would have been taken in by him long ago. But even so, I couldn't help but feel a good impression of him, it's really absurd to the extreme."
"No wonder people say it's better to be a real small person than a fake gentleman. It's too hard, just putting on this hypocritical face in daily life is tiring. And you have to stay awake all the time."
Song Qing felt that if he were to do so, he would probably go crazy in less than a year, but these hypocrites had maintained this state for decades, and Song Qing thought it was chilling.
