Chapter 19: Midnight Snooping and Listening to the Painting
"Well, congratulations to my brother, being able to persevere in the process of cutting the muscles and washing the marrow, it shows that my good brother is a real little man who is not afraid of difficulties, not bad!
"But," Xiao Xinyue said with a sudden frown, "You can't come out now, do you hear?"
"Ahh......h
"Hmph, you also know that it smells bad and the water is dirty, right? I mean you immediately change a basin of water and wash it from head to toe, right away, do you understand?" Xiao Xinyue said angrily,
"Oh-" Xiao Huiming scratched his head embarrassedly, and then came out of the water, not caring about the wet and cold clothes and pants, and carried the wooden bucket to fetch water from the back door......
"Hehe, this little girl is really very interested in this kid? I hope this kid can do what I want, can help me accomplish the grand cause, and it will not be in vain for my hard work, as well as my precious tendon cutting pill and high-grade elixir, hehehe. β
On the top of a large hall, the old man in a white robe, with a beautiful beard and fairy bones, looked at the little disciple who was bathing in the wing room not far below and the little girl who was waiting in the outhouse, and said to himself.
"Are you washed?" a crisp, sweet voice floated in from the outhouse,
"Oh---, okay - okay. Xiao Huiming slurred, "It's just --- it's just ---no-no--"
"Hehe, don't you have any clothes to wear, right?" Xiao Xinyue said with a smile, "It's good that I prepared a few clean clothes and pants for you a few days ago, otherwise ---- hehe---- otherwise you can only stay in the basin for the rest of your life, hehehe." β
As he spoke, he picked up the bamboo pole used to pick up the curtain, hung his clothes and pants on the pole, and picked it up through the door.
"This--this is for me?" Xiao Huiming looked at the brand-new moon-white and blue-edged shorts and pants that came in one after another through the doorway, as well as leather belts and mille-feuille shoes.
"Isn't it for you, is there anyone else? It's really stupid, hehe!" Xiao Xinyue smiled,
"Thank you, Sister Satsuki, Sister Satsuki is so nice. Xiao Huiming said happily,
"Let's get dressed and come out, the competition is coming up in the next two days, and we have other things to discuss. Xiao Xinyue said,
"Well, right away. Xiao Huiming replied, "Sister Xiaoyue, either you will be here in the past two days, or someone will accompany me to study the martial arts I have learned, and I will be in a better state to compete, okay?"
"No, if my father-in-law finds out that I am here, it will be miserable, he has never allowed me to come to the sect, heyββ, or that, don't you want to study martial arts? I will take you to a place and let you secretly see what high-level martial arts are, so that you can have more understanding of the martial arts you have learned, and it will also be of great benefit to you in the competition." Xiao Xinyue said,
"Okay, when are we going?" asked Xiao Huiming, walking out of the back room as he spoke.
"Tomorrow nightβ" replied little Xinyue,
"Wow, my little brother is quite handsome!" Xiao Xinyue exclaimed fiercely, looking at Xiao Huiming with big eyes without blinking,
I saw Xiao Huiming dressed in moon white inlaid with blue martial arts, with a cooked cowhide belt at his waist, stepping on hundreds of black and white-soled shoes, with a straight waist, clear eyes, and watery, like a fairy child descending to earth, Nezha reborn.
"Sister Xiaoyue, stop making fun of me. Xiao Huiming lowered her head, and her little face turned red again.
The next day,
At midnight, the full moon is shining, the shadows of the trees are waving, the birds are returning to their nests, and everyone is asleep.
"Whoosh-" I saw the wind under the feet of two small figures, coming out from the direction of the Tibetan Scripture Hall, and running towards the back mountain at great speed.
After walking for a while, after crossing the back mountain, I saw from a distance on the flat top of a mountain cliff in front of me, where the old man with a white robe and long beard was standing, as if he was cultivating, the two figures slowed down and quietly leaned over the stone wall.
Not far from the front, two figures hid their bodies behind a large rock, revealing only two small heads, and quietly and stared at the old man.
I saw the old man in front of him, there were two bamboo poles inserted on the ground, the bamboo pole only saw a large piece of canvas, the old man held the brush in his right hand, and his left hand stretched and shrunk, up and down, as if he was comparing what martial arts moves, the brush ticked on the canvas from time to time, as if he was painting, and the old man was sketching while reciting words in his mouth.
Xiao Huiming held his breath and listened carefully, only listening to what the old man was chanting, although the voice was small, but Xiao Huiming was like a word in his ear, so he heard him read: "There is a painting in my heart, the spiritual rhyme of the painting, the tangible painting, the invisible painting, the first tangible and then the intangible, whether there is fusion, beyond the limit of things, the trinity of objects, scenery and people, and great harmony!"
Suddenly, the situation in front of him suddenly changed, Xiao Huiming was taken aback, and saw the old man holding the bamboo pole and shaking, the canvas between the bamboo poles flew up out of thin air, divided into several parts in mid-air, and floated down from the air, turning into a monkey shape scratching his ears and cheeks and a number of red and white peach shapes, a gust of wind whirlwind from the ground swirled up, and I saw that the cloth monkey and the cloth peach moved in the wind whirlpool.
The cloth monkey jumped a few feet, the front paws probed forward, the hind paws also followed, the two paws grabbed a cloth peach, and then a rotation, the two claws opened and closed rapidly, and the surrounding cloth peaches were grasped in the hand, a vertical body, suspended in the air, suddenly he must be a body, and another inverted rotation, the cloth peach seemed to rain a little rain, splashing downward.
"Boom-boom-" The large and small rocks within a radius of hundreds of meters around it, including the rocks where the two small figures were hiding, were all blown up and shattered in an instant.
Xiao Huiming was looking at it in a daze, and suddenly, a familiar voice came from the front: "Two little ghosts come out, I have already found you for a long time." β
