3 Provocation
Two people strolled on the beach, the gentle waves washing over the fine white sand.
The girl's surname is Liu, called Liu Xuan'er, her father is the village chief of Yin Village, when these scholars came here to avoid trouble, the ancestors of the Liu family were the nobles of a big country in Yunzhou, one of Kyushu, with the strongest strength and the most inherited exercises, so for thousands of years, the affairs of the hidden village were decided by the Liu family.
Four years ago, Liu Xuan'er was attacked by a shark while swimming at the beach, and it was Ye Qing, who practiced swordsmanship at the beach, who rescued her.
In the past four years, Ye Qing has rarely returned to the village, only Liu Xuan often comes to see Ye Qing and brings him some food.
The pastries were very sweet, and although they had already filled their stomachs with crayfish, Ye Qing still devoured those few pastries, and couldn't bear to brush Liu Xuan'er's kindness.
"Ye Qing, you haven't been back to the village for a long time. If you continue like this, you will be as lonely as a beast. ”
Glancing at Ye Qing's dirty clothes, which were still stained with the green blood of the shrimp, Liu Xuan'er couldn't help but feel a little sad, Ye Qing's parents were dead, there were no other relatives, and there was no one to take care of her diet and daily life, unlike the rest of the children in the village, she had known Ye Qing for so long, Ye Qing rarely spoke, but her eyes always had a trace of arrogance that did not admit defeat.
"There is nothing in the village that I am nostalgic for. ”
Ye Qing smiled slightly, stopped, he didn't say his dream, but set his eyes on the place where the sea and the sky met.
"Take off your clothes and I'll wash them for you, look how dirty it is. ”
The girl grinned, and as if by magic, she pulled out a new set of blue clothes from the basket, and there was an imperceptible trace of blood on it, probably accidentally pricked by a needle.
Taking the clothes, Ye Qing went to the back of the reef to change into them, the size was just right, very comfortable and close-fitting, and handed the dirty clothes to Liu Xuan'er's hands.
"Okay, I'm leaving, I won't bother you with sword practice. ”
After finishing speaking, the girl grinned, gently kicked the water splash with her white feet, splashed Ye Qing's body, Ye Qing smiled slightly, and the girl picked up her clothes and left.
In the following days, Ye Qing has been cultivating the "Sea God Formula" in the seawater, and the effect of those shrimp paste is very strong, plus the meat of the shrimp has extremely high nutrition, Ye Qing's strength has improved a lot these days.
"It seems that in the future, we will have to look for more things like large shrimp sea beasts, and I don't know what those creams on their bodies are, but they can actually strengthen their bodies. ”
After cultivating for another hour, Ye Qing returned to the shore.
There are no large fish and shrimp near the coast, only in the deep sea, but it is very dangerous in the deep sea, and it is even said that there are some demon beasts that can spray ice and fire, but Ye Qing has never seen it.
After taking out the last remaining bit of shrimp meat, after eating, Ye Qing raised his wooden sword again and jumped into the high tide of the sea.
"When the tide is high, the impact of the waves is the greatest, and it has the strength of a thousand catties, and I can resist the impact of a thousand catties of strength if I keep practicing in the seawater. ”
After entering the seawater, Ye Qing raised his wooden sword, saw the coming tide of the sea, and slashed it down.
"Poseidon Trick! Thunder cuts the waves!"
Rumble!
The separated sea water passed through both sides of Ye Qing's body, and after the fight with the shrimp, the first two potentials of his "Seagod Formula" had been cultivated almost perfectly.
The three moves of "Poseidon Jue" do not have a level of strength, but the methods used are different, but the last move, "Poseidon Fighting Waves", cannot be comprehended.
It was another wave, Ye Qing didn't even think about it, it was a trick of "wind and waves", bringing the tide behind him, and with a bang, the water splashed.
"Good!"
There was a crisp cheer from the shore, Ye Qing didn't look back, just by listening to the voice, he knew that it was Liu Xuan'er who was coming.
"Hmph...... Ridiculous martial arts, Sister Xuan'er, your family history, the family heirloom "Mixed Yuan Chop" is one of the best high-level martial arts in the village, what is there to applaud this low-level martial art?"
Another voice of a somewhat gloomy owl came, Ye Qing turned around, and found that there were more than twenty teenagers on the shore, all of whom were seventeen or eighteen years old, although they were not familiar, but they also knew that they were all children from the village.
The person who spoke just now is called Wang Lei, it is said that the ancestor was the general of the Chu State of Yunzhou, and the family heirloom set of "Ben Lei Sword Technique" is also a high-level martial art, his father is an elder in the village, and at the age of forty, he can barely beat the Kyushu Xuanwu Ding at the entrance of the village, and he is one of the few peak martial artists in the village.
When his father reached the peak of martial arts, he was already in the age of confusion, and his ambition had long since disappeared, so he pinned his hopes on him, expecting Wang Lei to reach the peak of martial arts as soon as possible, go out of the village, return to the state of Chu, and revitalize the family.
With his father's expectations, coupled with the support of high-level martial arts, as well as some body quenching ointments inherited from the Wang family, Wang Lei was just eighteen years old at this time, and he was already a sixth-level martial artist.
Ye Qing rarely returned to the village, so no one in the village knew that Ye Qing was already a sixth-layer martial artist.
Bang!
It was another wave, Ye Qing didn't care about what Wang Lei said, but continued to cultivate in the tide, his legs stood straight, and his waist and hips twisted, cutting off the waves.
Liu Xuan'er ignored Wang Lei, walked behind Ye Qing with the basket and said, "Ye Qing, I've washed your clothes, let's change them in a while, it's time to rest and rest, even if you are a peak martial artist, you can only practice for three or four hours a day, and your body will not be able to bear it if you go on like this." ”
Liu Xuan'er's concern made Ye Qing's heart warm, put away the wooden sword, and said thank you, Liu Xuan'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Are you hungry?" I brought some more food, eat it while it's hot." ”
After speaking, he walked to the shore with Ye Qing, but he didn't notice Wang Lei's hateful eyes behind him.
Liu Xuan'er is naturally beautiful, smart and generous, and many teenagers in the village secretly admire her.
In addition, her family's ancestral "Mixed Yuan Slash" is a rare high-level martial art in the village, and although the Wang family's "Running Thunder Sword Technique" is also a high-level martial art, it is still a little worse than "Mixed Yuan Slash".
With the expectations of his family, Wang Lei wants to return to the Chu State of Yunzhou and establish immortal meritorious deeds, so he has coveted the Liu family's "Mixed Yuan Chop" for a long time.
At this time, Liu Xuan'er smiled carefully, and it was even more charming, and it made the sunshine a little dim for a while, but the smile was aimed at Ye Qing, and Wang Lei's heart couldn't help but be on fire.
"Hey, Ye Qing, you've been cultivating for so long, but what are the results?
I heard that you are cultivating the lowest-level martial art in the village, "Seagod Jue", hmph, do you think that cultivating the lowest-level martial art can also defeat the Xuanwu Ding?
"Yes, Ye Qing, I heard that you are still a descendant of the Imperial Clan of the Martial Kingdom, but you are dirty all day long, it is really a shame for our Shi clan! What qualifications do you have to be called a Shi clan?"
"That's it, although we avoid disaster and hidden village, but we can't forget our identity, look where you are now in the appearance of the scholars?"
Several teenagers who followed behind Wang Lei ridiculed Ye Qing, the young people in the village have to learn etiquette since they were young, and they have never forgotten their identity as scholars, and they have been inherited for more than a thousand years, and they are still elegant and arrogant.
However, there were also a few people who sympathized with Ye Qing and said: "Wang Lei, Ye Qing's parents died when he was a child, and he ...... It's not easy for him. ”
Wang Lei sneered and said, "Ye Qing, you have been cultivating for so long, you might as well try it with me, let me tell you what a real martial artist is, and what is a martial art!"
Martial artist! It's not just a person who can pick up a wooden sword and call it! Your "Sea God Technique" is not a martial art at all, there are only three moves, hahaha, the simplest martial arts also have hundreds of moves, I think you still don't want to practice, go back to the village tomorrow and beg the village chief, let him find you a new martial art!"
In the face of Wang Lei's ridicule, Ye Qing didn't care, but Liu Xuan'er couldn't help it, and was about to say help, but was pulled by Ye Qing and whispered: "Why bother to be like him?"
The soft fingers were held by a pair of thick and warm hands, Liu Xuan'er's face was slightly red, her heart was beating wildly, she bit her lip and lowered her head, the flush on her face had spread to her cheeks, adding a bit of gorgeousness.
Ye Qing's voice was very small, and Wang Lei didn't hear it at all, but when he saw Ye Qing's hand pulling together with Liu Xuan'er, he was furious in his heart.
"Ye Qing, if you are a man, you will compete with me, you have been cultivating for so long, you have to let me see your strength, there are no idlers in our village, if you can't even reach the initial stage of the most basic martial arts, you are not qualified to live in the village at all!"
Speaking of this, he pulled out the family heirloom Qingshuang Sword from his waist, the snow light shone in the sun, this sword was rewarded by the emperor when the ancestor of the Wang family was a general in the Chu State, it was extremely sharp, and it was said that it could easily cut a tree with a thick bowl mouth.
Looking at the Qingshuang sword in his hand, Wang Lei smiled and said: "This is the sword, your black wood is also worthy of being called a sword?" The people in our village are all descendants of the Shi clan, and their ambitions are in Kyushu, you don't even have a sword, how can you be worthy of the title of Shi clan?"
Saying that, he walked to Ye Qing's side, although Ye Qing was disgusted in his heart, he didn't want to do much, this kind of cynicism he had experienced too much in the village.
After eating the pastry in Liu Xuan'er's hand, he wiped his mouth, picked up the wooden sword and said, "Okay, I'm going to cultivate!"
"Well, don't try too hard yourself. ”
Liu Xuan'er knew Ye Qing's temper, and she didn't say much, since Ye Qing asked herself to ignore Wang Lei just now, of course she wouldn't look at Wang Lei again.
Wang Lei behind him was only a zhang away from Ye Qing, and Ye Qing could clearly feel the chill on the Qingshuang Sword, but he was not moved, but walked into the tide.
Wang Lei's face turned red, Ye Qing regarded him as nothing, and couldn't help but be angry.
Bang!
Raising the Qingshuang Sword, he rushed in front of Ye Qing with an arrow step, Wang Lei couldn't stand such a wordless insult, and slashed at Ye Qing's wooden sword.
Choke!
Although the wooden sword in Ye Qing's hand was heavy, it was just the iron pear wood common in the village, and a gap appeared on the wooden sword.
"Hmph, Ye Qing, with this sword, you also want to cultivate to the pinnacle of martial arts?"
Wang Lei laughed, but he didn't notice that Ye Qing's face had become gloomy.
For insults and ridicule, Ye Qing can be safe, but this wooden sword is the only relic of his parents, and he is furious in his heart.
"You apologize to me!"
Staring at Wang Lei fiercely, Ye Qing's breathing was a little short, but Wang Lei laughed and said: "Apologize?" Hahaha, Ye Qing, you are really dreaming, how about it, do you still want to teach me a lesson? Okay! I can't ask for it, so I will let you see what martial arts are!"
Liu Xuan'er, who was already about to leave, saw this scene and hurriedly stopped, wanting to relieve Ye Qing, she knew very well what that wooden sword meant to Ye Qing, even if it was her, Ye Qing had never let her touch this wooden sword.
But Wang Lei is already a sixth-layer martial artist, and he is cultivating high-level martial arts, as well as herbs to refine his body, Ye Qing is definitely not his opponent, Liu Xuan'er couldn't help but be anxious, standing beside Ye Qing, shrugged his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Wang Lei, what are you doing here?"
Looking at Liu Xuan'er's performance, Wang Lei was even more furious and looked at Ye Qing viciously.
More than ten teenagers around also came around, and only three or five people spoke for Ye Qing, they all knew Wang Lei's strength, for fear that Ye Qing would be bullied.
The rest of the people also stood by Wang Lei's side, mocking Ye Qing.
His hands trembled slightly because of anger, his bones rattled, his clenched fists had turned white, his chest couldn't help but rise and fall, taking a deep breath, Ye Qing smiled coldly and raised his wooden sword.
"I accept your challenge. ”
The voice was flat, but it maintained the proper etiquette of the scholars, and the tip of the sword was downward.
"Ye Qing, you...... Don't be impulsive, he's the strength of a martial artist's sixth layer!"
"Yes! Wang Lei's punch can hit six hundred catties of power, even a small tree can be broken with one punch!"
Liu Xuan'er's expression was a little anxious, Ye Qing's heart warmed, and he smiled slightly: "I know." ”
The voice was very indifferent, but Liu Xuan'er heard Ye Qing's anger and pride from the indifferent voice.
Wang Lei was also surprised, but he didn't expect Ye Qing to accept his challenge, and then laughed.
This is an excellent opportunity, as long as Ye Qing can be made to look good in front of everyone, Ye Qing will definitely not have the face to appear in front of Liu Xuan'er in the future, and the pride of the scholars who have remained in the village for thousands of years has been integrated into everyone's blood and bones.
