Chapter 604 Xu Changge Extra: The World in His Eyes (His First Encounter with Her)
When he was born, the white light eclipsed the moon in the sky.
The book said that the scene was auspicious.
But Xu Changge saw this description when he was a child and personally judged that the white light was either a magic array or the manifestation of his father's Dao domain.
It seems that many people in this world don't want him to be born.
When Xu Changge was still in his infancy, the Xiangfu Mansion had not yet moved to the inner city, and lived side by side with the nobles in the imperial city.
On the left is the Langya Palace, and on the right is the Wucheng Marquis Mansion.
Compared with these two nobles who can be traced back hundreds of years ago, the Xiangfu at that time only occupied a few dozen acres, like a child sandwiched between two strong men.
And Xu Changge grew up in this small mansion.
From the day he learned to walk, he could always hear the fierce shouting outside the courtyard wall.
Outside the east wing of the Xiangfu is a small path along the river. The river is three meters wide and the willow trees are evergreen. Many children of dignitaries in the imperial city would gather here to play, frolic and have fun after the Jingxiang Academy closed.
The young Xiao Changge was also curious about the noises outside.
But unfortunately, his mother said that he could not go out, so she gave up the idea.
So after he grew up, he only moved around in the mansion.
Perhaps because of his personality, Xiao Changge also likes this quiet life, but he likes to stay with his mother.
His mother is a woman who is so beautiful that it cannot be described in words. She is knowledgeable, gentle and graceful.
It's a pity that his mother and father are very busy. Only after dinner in the evening will she take an hour to teach him to read and write.
Later, Xiao Changge got used to this kind of life.
When he was three years old, his mother and father became even busier and could only take time to accompany him for dinner every day.
Fortunately, he had learned most of the characters by then, so he could go to his father's study to find some books to read.
In addition, by chance, Xiao Changge also became fascinated by the koi under the pavilion in the outer courtyard.
When the koi swam in the pond, Xiao Changge could see some faint lines.
Since then, his most common thing was to sit by the pond and stare at the koi swimming in it.
The little figure sat by the pond for a whole day.
On his fourth birthday, Xiao Changge still spent it by the pond.
But when the evening came, he suddenly looked back and found that his mother had returned home without knowing when, and was standing quietly behind him.
His mother pursed her red lips and stared at him, and there was a kind of worry in her eyes.
Xiao Changge didn't understand that worry, so he didn't ask.
But since he followed his mother back to the courtyard that day, two women followed him every day, holding some things like rattles and bells around him all day long.
At first, Xu Changge thought they were casting some magic on him.
But after repeatedly checking his body according to the methods recorded in the books in his father's study and finding nothing unusual, he confirmed one thing in his heart -
These are two fools.
It's just that from the words occasionally spoken by the servants and guards in the mansion, these people think he is a fool.
They said that
Xu Xiangguo and the head of the Feng family had a baby with a brain disease.
And these words seemed to have spread outside the mansion.
Because occasionally when passing by the wall along the river in the east wing, Xu Changge could hear the children outside shouting "Xu's fools come out to play" while running away.
This seemed to be an insult, but there was no ripple in Xiao Changge's heart, and he still did the same things every day.
Until one day, Xiao Changge saw the man in white.
It was a cloudy day.
Thick cumulus clouds hovered in the sky, and heavy thunder roared like a giant beast.
As Xiao Changge was sitting by the pond watching the fish as usual, a light voice suddenly came to his ears:
"You come here every day just to watch their swimming tracks?"
"."
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Xu Changge suddenly found a pair of boots in the corner of his eyes.
Looking up, he found a man in white standing beside him.
It was hard to tell his age, but the sight in his eyes made Xu Changge feel uncomfortable for the first time in his life.
Unexplained discomfort.
It was like the same kind repelling each other.
So Xiao Changge ignored him, glanced at him, and continued to stare at the fish.
And the man in white didn't continue to talk, just stood quietly beside him, staring at the koi swimming around in the pond with him.
Standing, sitting, all day.
When the sun was about to set, Xiao Changge propped up his little body and went back to the yard to eat.
From beginning to end, he never looked at the man in white again.
After the man in white said the first sentence, he didn't respond to him.
The next day,
After the rain, the mansion was filled with the fragrance of fresh soil, and crystal dew hung on the tender green grass.
When Xiao Changge came to the pond again as usual, he found that the man in white was still standing there.
This made Xu subconsciously stop and stare at the man with hesitation for a moment.
He subconsciously thought that the other party should have stood here all night.
But it rained so hard last night, and the man's clothes were dry, so he should have just come before him.
Still without any communication, Xu Changge just sat in the original position.
Then there was another day of silence.
Then came the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day
Later, from her mother's mouth, Xiao Changge learned that the man in white was her brother, that is, his uncle.
However, this did not change Xu Changge's view of the man in white at all, but after being with him for a long time, his impression became much better after all.
Apart from anything else, since Feng Jiuxuan's arrival, those two annoying idiot women haven't bothered him for a long time.
finally,
After the silence lasted for two months, Xiao Changge answered Feng Jiuxuan's question on the first day:
"Why do you know?"
Xiao Changge began to practice swordsmanship.
This uncle was actually a master that his mother specially found for him.
At Feng Jiuxuan's place, Xiao Changge touched the sword for the first time and experienced pain for the first time.
If disgust is Xiao Changge's first impression of Feng Jiuxuan, then flawless is his second impression.
In the past, when passing by the martial arts arena in the mansion, Xu Changge would occasionally stop there.
Watching the nursing staff on the stage compete with each other in skills.
Those people were also very strong, but he could see some vague lines in the sword and light technique.
But Feng Jiuxuan was different. Xiao Changge couldn't see any traces from him.
He had only experienced this with his mother before, but it was stronger with his uncle than with his mother.
As for my father.
Xiao Changge couldn't sense anything from him at all.
As silent as the night.
As his practice continued to deepen, Xu Changge began his first actual sparring session with Feng Jiuxuan.
That evening, when Xiao Changge returned to the courtyard as usual, his father and mother were already talking quietly at the table, waiting for him.
When he climbed up on the stool to start eating, he took care of himself.
Xu Changge noticed that his father was obviously stunned when he looked at him, and then looked away as if he was holding back a smile.
My mother, who has always been as gentle as water, stuck out her chopsticks with a bang.
Because Xiao Changge came back with a swollen nose and face.
Early the next morning, Xiao Changge had a third impression of his uncle.
Be petty.
These were the words my mother ran to the school field that day, waved her flowing fairy-sleeved robe, pointed at my uncle's nose, and scolded him.
Seeing the embarrassment and sarcasm on the face of his uncle who always had the same expression as him, the still young Xiao Changge felt inexplicably gloating about his misfortune.
But later experience did prove one point.
This uncle is indeed quite narrow-minded.
He hit him harder, but never slapped him in the face again.
Xiao Changge didn't hate his uncle's pettiness, and even thought he was a bit naive.
The life of being beaten day after day lasted until he was six years old.
His uncle gave him a book of exercises and told him that he could now officially start practicing.
In the following days, there was less sparring and more time was spent on self-cultivation.
But when practicing, he likes to do two things at once.
Because he discovered that by running the technique, the illusory lines in his eyes would become clear.
In the beginning, he sat by the pond and watched those cruising experiences and practice.
But gradually, some of the lines in his eyes coincided with those of the koi.
Xiao Changge didn't understand what this was, but subconsciously felt that he should be able to see people.
The place where Xiao Changge practices is from the waterside pavilion in the outer courtyard to the top floor of the east building. Sitting on the edge of the high eaves, he can see the fools by the Liuyin River.
Although it was one-sided, this was indeed his first contact with peers.
Looking at the actions of those children, he gradually became suspicious.
He didn't understand why these people could play with a nest of ants for a long time, let alone the behavior of those people putting mud on their companions' faces.
There are so many fools in this world.
When he was seven years old, Xiao Changge climbed to the top of the east building as usual, and when he was about to start practicing while staring at the "koi" on the riverside, a line of sight suddenly fell on him.
Xiao Changge was a little surprised because this was the first time a "fool" had discovered him.
The "King" of those fools.
A chubby guy with fat eyes narrowed into slits, other fools called him Little Prince.
After looking at each other for a moment, Xiao Changge saw a line on the little fat man's body.
The opponent seemed to be grabbing mud and throwing it at him.
As soon as the thought passed through his mind, a lump of river mud crossed the courtyard wall and hit his white clothes.
Seeing that he had hit it, the little fat man laughed heartily.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Xiao Changge was even more sure that these people were all fools.
And this "mud incident" seemed to be the beginning. Those fools would throw mud at him every day.
But the accuracy was very low, most of them were crooked, and only a few of them hit his clothes.
Another year has passed like this.
Little Changge is eight years old.
This year, my mother became pregnant again.
It was also this year that his mother said he could go out and play with the children.
Xiao Changge looked at his mother's smile, which was as graceful as the world of mortals, and felt very puzzled.
Play?
With those fools?
This is worse than practicing.
Xiao Changge expressed her dissent, but her mother didn't listen and threw her away from the prime minister's house like a chicken:
"No, people of the same age have to play with their peers. Changge, you are almost turning into a little old man."
well.
Xiao Changge felt a hint of trouble.
Because my mother seems to have become stupid too
Based on the behavior of those fools over the past year, they will definitely come to cause trouble for him when they see him coming out.
If this happens, you won't be able to practice properly.
The development of the situation was somewhat beyond Xiao Changge's expectations.
He came out at noon, and the group of idiots seemed to have come in the afternoon.
A huge crowd of people.
In the past few years, there have been many more children playing here than at the beginning.
The oldest of them is already twelve or thirteen years old.
They are all descendants of the royal family. Xu Changge thinks that these people should have been instructed by their parents to come here to build a good relationship with the "young prince".
Because compared with the pure laughter outside the palace at the beginning, there are many more flattering words in recent years.
Flattery for the young prince of Langya Palace.
The nature of the play has gradually changed.
Xiao Changge, who has been sitting on the top floor of the East Building to practice, has actually witnessed the changes of these idiots.
From playing with ants, poking bird nests to pretending to be a judge in the government office, to carrying cages to tease birds, and now talking about the secrets of the boudoir with his own maids.
Xiao Changge has read books and can roughly understand what they mean by Long Yang entering Yin.
And he also sat on the east building and saw with his own eyes that the little prince was touching the accompanying girl in a small alley not far away.
A group of people were laughing and chatting at the entrance of the alley while helping the fat little prince to keep watch.
Xiao Changge remembered that the girl seemed very reluctant and dared not say anything, probably because her parents told her something.
Later, the girl never came again.
However, the behavior of this group of fools became worse.
The alley became a pornographic picture.
Sometimes it was the maids brought, and sometimes it was the female companions and boys of lower status among the crowd.
Some people were forced to be lewd, and some people enjoyed it.
Occasionally, this group of fools would notice the calm gaze from the top of the building and throw stones at him.
Xiao Changge didn't care, because it didn't hurt.
But his mother would be worried, so Xiao Changge usually used the finger sword taught by his uncle to break these stones.
Thinking about these things, the group of young men in luxurious robes discussed in astonishment, then smiled and surrounded Xu Changge.
A dozen people surrounded him in an arc, and Xu Changge was sitting on a stone pier on the river bank.
"Is this person the Xu Changge from the Xiangguo Mansion?"
"Yes, it seems so. I have always seen him sitting on the roof before."
"He probably ran out of envy."
"What does a fool know about envy?"
"He looks pretty handsome. Do you want to add him to the list?"
"You also call him handsome? Don't you feel very unhappy? This kid looks so arrogant, just like the young marquis."
"What's the use of being arrogant? Wasn't Mu Hongli beaten by the young prince last time?"
"He didn't say a word when we were talking like this. He is really an idiot."
"Maybe It's the indifferent temperament, our little prince likes this the most~"
"Okay, shut up."
The noisy discussion was interrupted by a smiling voice, and the fat little prince looked around: "Let's go ask what the son of the prime minister's mansion means."
While speaking,
the fat boy patted his clothes in a pretentious manner, walked to the side, and asked with a smile:
"Brother Changge, do you want to play with us?"
"."
Xu Changge didn't have the habit of paying attention to fools, and still stared at the river in front of him.
He found that the lines in the river water were more varied and complicated than the group of fools behind him when he observed them closely.
The little eyes on the fat face of the little prince narrowed into two slits, and while speaking, he was about to reach out to touch the shoulders of the child in front of him:
"Brother is asking you a question, why don't you answer?"
Little Changge felt the lines behind him.
This made him feel a little disgusted.
Because he had seen that this little prince seemed to have a good relationship with Longyang.
Well. Chop off his hand.
Just thinking about it, a disgusted female voice suddenly sounded from the back of the crowd.
"Tang Xiangsheng, are you disgusting?"
The female voice was childish, but with a heroic spirit.
Xu Changge was not interested in the voice, thinking it was another fool, but when he felt the line behind him going away, he temporarily gave up the idea of taking action.
The voice that came caused a teasing behind him:
"Young prince, why did your maid-born woman run out again?"
The fat boy smiled and replied:
"My family doesn't have a palace ban, so she will come out naturally after her injury heals."
"It seems that the last beating was not bad enough."
"Since she likes to stand out so much, how about letting her lie down for three months this time?"
"It's up to you."
"Hehe, this girl is pretty." A slightly childish voice with a hint of lewdness.
The fat man in brocade clothes didn't get angry after hearing this, he just snorted and laughed:
"If you are interested in her, it's better to let your father propose marriage, otherwise it will offend the dignity of my Langya Palace."
"Forget it, with the family background of the young prince, she must be the legal wife anyway, I don't want to be tied to such a stupid woman."
"Then let's do it."
"Remember not to hurt her life, even if she is born by a maid, she is still the illegitimate daughter of my Langya Palace."
"."
Listening to the movement behind him, Xu Changge remained calm.
The girl who spoke seemed to have a ninth-grade cultivation, but most of the guys behind her started at the eighth grade.
And the fat man behind him even reached the sixth grade.
A battle without any suspense.
If you don't have the power to stand up for others, you are really a fool.
Thinking in his heart,
The fat hand touched him again, and a smiling voice whispered:
"I'm sorry, brother Changge, I made you laugh."
"Buzz——"
Before he finished speaking, the fat man behind him suddenly became agile and retreated several feet, with a hint of surprise in his narrowed eyes.
He looked at the thin back and then at his palm, with a strong sense of confusion in his eyes.
He had just had a sharp blade pass through the edge of his wrist.
If he hadn't dodged in time, I'm afraid his palm would have been broken off.
And this was not the point of his surprise.
What surprised him was that he felt desperate that he couldn't avoid the slash just now.
This was unreasonable.
You know, the boy in front of him only has the eighth-grade cultivation.
As far as his eyes could see, the small back had stood up from the stone pier bit by bit.
Adding the two-foot stone pier, Xu Changge looked down at the fat man several feet away with a calm look, and glanced at the girl who spoke from the corner of his eyes.
He seemed to have misunderstood the woman.
The other party seemed to have some skills, and could actually put up a certain degree of resistance under the hands of a group of eighth-grade young men.
And in this peripheral vision, Tang Xiangsheng had already stepped forward and grabbed him, his fat flesh shaking, with an excited smile in his small eyes:
"It was you, brother Changge, who started it first."
"."
Looking back, Xu Changge frowned slightly.
This was the first time he had fought with someone other than his uncle.
He could not see any lines on his uncle, but at this moment, countless phantoms appeared in his eyes.
And this phantom was as ethereal as sand, and finally condensed into a point.
When he was confused, Xu Changge subconsciously raised his palm slowly, stared at the line that condensed into a point, and swung it violently.
"Pah!"
With a crisp sound, the fat face was instantly distorted by the force, and the fat figure suddenly flew backwards and hit the boys surrounding the girl over there.
Its fat body hit several people unexpectedly, creating a gap for the trapped girl, allowing the girl to rush to the boy standing on the stone pier like a monkey.
Xu Changge ignored the girl who came, and stared at his palm with his eyes downcast.
What was that just now?
He didn't understand.
Just as he was about to think, Xu Changge suddenly felt that his palm was grabbed by the girl.
His eyebrows subconsciously raised.
He didn't like physical contact with other people.
But before he could raise any objections, the girl reached out and grabbed his wrist and ran along the stream, scolding as she ran:
"Are you a fool?! Run faster!"
"."
Hearing this, Xiao Changge frowned even more.
Looking at the back of the girl in front of him with her long hair fluttering, he hesitated in his heart whether to slap her too.
But in the end he gave up.
There is also a gap between fools.
The girl in front of him didn't seem to be too stupid. Although he didn't need it, the other party was indeed trying to save him.
Running all the way, galloping all the way.
In the end, due to the girl's cultivation, the two were still blocked in the "Spring Palace Lane" at sunset.
At dusk, everything was gilded.
Looking at the group of teenagers who were walking towards them aggressively,
Xiao Changge glanced at the panting girl beside him with a blank expression.
The girl glared back at him.
"." Xiao Changge.
He wanted to slap someone again.
But as soon as the thought came up, the girl stood up and blocked him in front of him, whispering:
"Boy, run quickly, my surname is Tang too, they dare not do anything to me."
Xiao Changge nodded and turned around.
"."
Seeing this scene, the little girl was a little exasperated:
"Are you really running?!"
"."
Xiao Changge stopped and looked back, staring at her without saying a word.
The little girl gritted her teeth, stamped her feet anxiously, and then waved her hands:
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly, the adults won't come here, they usually do bad things here."
This time, Xiao Changge didn't leave immediately, staring at the girl's thin and trembling body for a few breaths, and suddenly asked:
"You said no adults came back?"
"Ah?"
The little girl was a little surprised, but still nodded subconsciously: "Yes, this mansion has been confiscated, in order to avoid suspicion, no one will come near here for the time being."
Xiao Changge nodded:
"Oh."
"Oh?"
The little girl looked at the handsome boy with paralyzed face and said angrily: "Are you going to run away or not?!"
Xiao Changge replied calmly;
"It depends on you."
The little girl clenched her fist subconsciously. If the situation did not allow it, she really wanted to weld her fist to this guy's face.
After panting twice, the girl said in a tender voice:
"Whether you want to go or not is none of my business?"
"Oh, OK."
Xiao Changge gently tied up her long hair behind her, folded up her green sleeves, and then slowly walked towards the group of teenagers.
Seeing this scene, the little girl quickly grabbed Xiao Changge and scolded unhappily:
"Are you a fool? I'm just talking to you in anger. With your cultivation level, you will definitely be bullied by these rubbish!"
"."
Pausing,
With the golden sunset on his back,
Xiao Changge slightly turned his eyes, his handsome face was coated with a layer of gold, and his voice was calm:
"Who told you I would lose?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook off the little girl's hand and said softly:
"Also, don't touch me casually."
"."
After all,
The boy walked towards the entrance of the alleyway under the eyes of the little girl who was gradually deformed with anger.
Everything ends, the stars are already hanging high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shines on the remaining space.
Standing in front of the pile of dirt piled up by the teenagers, Xiao Changge, who was covered in injuries, silently lowered his eyes and stared at the palm of his hand.
Won.
but,
He still doesn't understand,
I don't understand what those lines revealed during the battle are.
While thinking about it,
A stinging pain suddenly came from the side of his face. Xiao Changge looked back and saw that the little girl was wiping the wound on his face with a brocade handkerchief.
Seeing him looking at him, the little girl looked at him with a smile:
"You are very strong. It hurts. Mom said you need to use ointment."
"Snapped!"
Xiao Changge slapped her hand away and frowned:
"I remember I said, don't touch me casually."
"."
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then her delicate little face pulled out twice, and a dangerous smile suddenly appeared on the corners of her lips.
And the next moment,
Xiao Changge suddenly found that the complicated lines appeared in front of his eyes again.
But this time,
He no longer had the energy to hide.
"boom!"
The little girl smashed her fist into his handsome face.
The force was so strong that it knocked him over.
Xiao Changge frowned and wanted to get up to fight back, but saw the girl riding on his waist.
boom!
Another punch.
Xiao Changge lay motionless on the ground.
His judgment of the situation made him very clear that he, now at the end of his strength, could not be this woman's opponent.
So it's better to lie down.
Seeing that the boy no longer resisted, the little girl riding on his waist suddenly felt guilty and hummed softly:
"Smelly personality."
As she spoke, she took out another piece of ointment her mother had prepared for him from her arms, applied it to Xiao Changge, and whispered:
"I'm so angry when I help you with your wounds. You really don't know a good person's heart."
"." Xiao Changge lay on the ground with his face sideways, silent, and endured silently.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and the stars fell on the boys and girls, covering them with a layer of silver gauze.
Looking at Xiao Changge who was wrapped into a rice dumpling, the little girl smiled with satisfaction.
After doing this, the little girl stood up from his waist and walked towards the direction of Prince Langya's palace minding her own business.
At this moment, Xiao Changge slowly stood up, stared at the little girl's back, and suddenly said:
"Hey, what's your name?"
"."
The little girl couldn't stop, her eyes blinked subconsciously, and she looked back with a smile:
"What, you want to thank me?"
Xiao Changge gently stroked the girl's cheek with the back of his hand and said calmly:
"When I'm healed, I'll go find you."
The little girl's eyebrows jumped, she took a deep breath, and coldly snorted:
"Come on, I'm going to break through to the eighth level soon."
"So what's your name?"
"."
Suppressing the urge to beat the other person again, the little girl tossed her long hair and walked towards the distance without looking back.
After a while,
Accompanied by the stars in the sky, a young female voice that sounded like a cold snort slowly reached Xiao Changge's ears:
"I live across from your house. My name is Tang Weijun. Remember not to find the wrong person."
