Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 453 Letter from a Friend

Pei Ye walked back to the courtyard with a pen in hand.

"It is a small animal that is often kept as a pet." Yan Feiqing said in a light voice, holding up the black cat and pointing at it, "It is covered with soft fur, its body is as soft as water, its claws are like plum blossoms, and its pupils are vertical and round."

"I've seen it before." Yang Zhenbing said coldly, "I've never seen anything as beautiful as this."

"Oh, that's it."

"Don't carry it."

"Why are you carrying it so roughly?"

"I felt it was very rough when someone carried me."

"People are different from cats."

"is it?"

"A cat's spine is flexible, like a chain."

"I see."

"Have you country folk never petted a cat?"

"I'm cold and will scare cats away."

"Oh."

“Only this one can’t.”

"Because this isn't a cat."

Yang Zhenbing was silent for a moment, then pointed and said, "The body is covered with soft velvet, the body is as soft as water, and the claws are like plum blossoms."

Pei Ye walked through the yard in silence and put the pen and ink back into Yan Feiqing's room.

He went out, crossed the yard, and went to his room.

“Why is it eating this?”

"This is a date, a kind of."

"I've seen it."

"Oh."

This empty room was also very neat and clean, with doors and windows intact and not crooked at all. Pei Ye pushed the door open and entered a small residence with one hall and three rooms, fully equipped with tables, chairs, screens, beds, quilts, etc. Taking advantage of the good sunshine today, Pei Ye picked up the bed and quilt and spread them out in the yard to dry in the sun.

Then he cleaned the house carefully inside and out, and when he finished, it was already dark.

It was time for dinner, but Yan Feiqing did not eat grains, so a handful of dates and a ladle of water were enough for him. Pei Ye and Yang Zhenbing went out to get the food provided by the Sword Academy. When they came back, it was already dark.

After saying good night to Yan Feiqing who was reading under the candlelight and Yang Zhenbing who was practicing sword in the yard, Pei Ye carried the bed back into the room. After a while, a drizzle began to fall outside the window.

He had often heard rain in the past two months, but this was the first time since arriving in Shenjing.

The sound of rain hitting the window and the candlelight flickered. Pei Ye finished washing up and nestled comfortably in the soft new bed.

Amid the quiet sound of rain, the young man, who had been busy for half a day, excitedly flipped out a snow-white letter, the same one he had received from Duan Yu.

Pei Ye held it in front of him, thinking that Xiao Yujian had really worked hard this time, as he had to fly so far carrying three letters.

It was unfolded neatly and solemnly, with pages full of familiar handwriting, and the woman's voice seemed to ring in her ears again.

But the tone seemed very slow and light.

"Pei Ye, hello.

After receiving your handwritten letter, I learned from Piaoqing about the Jade Sword Terrace, saying that you had assassinated the governor, and your life or death was unknown, and you were being taken to the capital. Before writing this letter, I learned that you had been released from prison and would be sent to the Sword Academy.

As long as there is no worry, it will be good.

You are right. Promises can easily become regrets because life is always cut short suddenly. Everyone is still thinking about too many things when they die. That is why throughout history, there have been many people seeking immortality, but few who die peacefully.

From the moment we met, you often risked your life alone, and in the blink of an eye, you were in danger of life and death. I would like to ask you to let me know if such a thing happens again, but as soon as I put pen to paper, I feel too lazy to write.

I think we know each other after all, the crisis in Shaolong and the various things in Kongtong."

Pei Ye curled the corners of his mouth unconsciously and looked down again.

“Congratulations on your first practice of Heart Sword.

Senior Yue is one of the best swordsmen in the world, but he can hardly be called a good teacher. Your enlightenment in the way of the sword is like the cliff of Flying Wild Geese on a Snowy Night. Even the most famous swordsman in the world would most likely be killed by the sword, and would suffer from demons in his heart for the rest of his life, and would never make any further progress.

But since you have really flown over it, from now on, learning the sword of the world will not be climbing, but diving.

Having obtained the Heart Sword, it means that your sword heart has begun to show, but you don't have to rush for quick success. The one who recommended you to the Sword Training Academy did it for this purpose. You have to walk this path from low to high, from shallow to deep to make it wider and smoother. Moves are the door to intention, and intention is the mirror of the heart. To make this path smooth, you can't just rely on spiritual enlightenment to fly over it.

Training in the Sword Academy should be relatively smooth for you. For other swordsmen who dig deep to improve themselves, the most difficult part is that they cannot tell the direction, nor do they know how far or near they are. They don't know how to go, or when they can reach that level. But for you, the location of that light spot in the depths is already clear, and you just need to go towards it.

Of course, you must read the sword theory carefully and chew it thoroughly. When senior masters from your sect come to teach you, you must listen carefully and ask questions in a timely manner if you have any doubts.

I am now in Yunlang, my injuries have healed, and I plan to go south next month to ask for a sword. I sincerely look forward to meeting you in Yulin next year.

Also: When I received your second letter, I had already read all the tricks, so you can study new ones.

cloud,
October 15th at Yunlang."

It rained all night, and the next day the sky was clear as expected.

Before Pei Ye and Yang Zhenbing came to the Sword Tower together, the sword students had already gotten to know each other. Yang Zhenbing went straight to the front row, while Pei Ye stayed behind and stood next to King Ning and the other man.

"Brother Pei, how does it feel to live in the same courtyard with the Sword Demon?" Wang Shousi asked with a smile.

Pei Ye was silent, sighed softly, but tilted his eyes and said, "Fellow cultivator Ning, is Zuoqiu Longhua easy to get along with?"

Ning Shuhong was startled: "She's pretty good, even though she doesn't like to talk and doesn't know much about etiquette. But she does her own thing and doesn't interfere with others."

"That's right." Pei Ye felt the pain deeply, and said seriously, "A person who is different from ordinary people is easy to get along with, because others know that he is like this, and they will not care about any unusual words or deeds."

"That's natural."

"But that's not the case with two."

".?"

Pei Ye sighed softly and stretched out his two hands to gesture: "It's like a chess player meeting a worthy opponent, or a general meeting a talented person."

The two were a little puzzled, but since all the swordsmen were present, the scene naturally became quiet without anyone saying anything.

This time, there was no Duan Yu or the guard in front of the sword tower. There was only an old man in a white robe. Pei Ye was stunned for a moment - it was the person who stood behind Duan Yu when he was admitted to the hospital.

This morning he was still holding the wine gourd, sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking at them with a smile, his old sword leaning on the stone steps beside him.

"Hello, young friends." The old man said with a smile, "Every year when I see new young faces, I feel warm again in my old body."

Unlike Duan Yu, he did not have any papers in his hand. He looked at them and said, "I went to see you one by one when you entered the hospital the day before yesterday. Yesterday, I flipped through the Book of Swordsmanship to prepare for building the Sword Ladder today. But to be honest, it was of no use."

"We must finalize this thing face to face. We can't just do it from a distance." The old man leaned on his ankles with both hands. "Since you have entered the Sword Academy, you should all have some understanding of the Sword Ladder. You should know that it is an arrangement of the swords you have learned and the swords you will learn in the future. From now on, you will know which sword you need to learn in the next five years or even in your lifetime. However, I will tell you again seriously."

"The Sword Ladder is the path to the Dao Sword." The old man said, "It enables limited life to have the opportunity to touch the infinite Dao. That is the meaning of the Sword Ladder."
