Chapter 153: Winter, Xiao Ping'er Is Promoted to Martial Master

[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It is best to share it on Facebook for me]

Dozens of feet away, Xiaoman cheered across the lush grass by the river: "Come and catch up, Sister Bai."

"You won't go in the water?" Bai Suqing raised her eyebrows and asked him.

Gu Ke chuckled: "It's muddy now, let's wait."

Bai Suqing stretched out her hand, pulled him up, and jumped out: "It's a small matter, go in the water."

Gu Ke only had time to throw the tea bowl, and was taken into the river.

Xiao Ping'er smiled and stretched out her hand to catch the falling tea bowl, put it on the small table, and then covered the bowl with a lid to prevent dust and leaves from falling.

After doing this, she jumped up lightly and also entered the river, leisurely following Gu Bai and the others who were dozens of feet away.

Gu Ke on this side found that Bai Suqing was not bragging when talking about playing in the water, or it would be more appropriate to call it controlling the water.

She didn't use the Bi Hai Jin to speed up her own water distribution, but she pushed back the riverbed mud that Xiaoman had stirred up along the way.

Wherever the two passed, the river water instantly became clear again.

At the same time, she held Gu Ke with one hand, and used only the other hand and legs to exert force, moving forward in the water easily and freely.

He relaxed his body, letting her lead him forward, admiring the scenery in the water.

The clear river water showed a slight green color under the surrounding grass and trees, and cast ups and downs of shadows beside the winding river.

The scorching sun was high in the sky at noon, and the blazing eyes penetrated the stream, without temperature, but reflected colorful streams everywhere in the water waves.

The figure wearing a sky-blue long skirt beside him, his skin was slightly hazy in the water, emitting a halo like a marble sculpture.

The paddling action was not at all fireworks, like a big fish shuttling between light and shadow.

The curves rose and fell in a gentle swing, swaying gracefully.

The black hair was like a waterfall, and the tail of the skirt was like a tail, flowing gracefully in the water, slowly following the mermaid.

With just this scene, Gu Ke felt that it was worth it to encourage her to swim.

Sister Bai was lively and vivid in the water, and was three times more beautiful than usual.

The two quickly caught up with Xiaoman and saw the shadow of the happy paddling in the water in front.

Gu Ke felt that it was quite unbearable to watch.

Before seeing Sister Bai's swimming style, the mine-laying boat was actually okay.

Look at this boat body, it is round and smooth, and the power is strong and powerful.

It is just that it cannot be compared. Once compared, it is similar to the difference between a synchronized swimming champion and an armed swimming soldier.

The practicality is not used in this small river, and the aesthetics are several levels lower.

A sly smile appeared on Bai Suqing's face, and she let go of Gu Ke's hand and swung out with one palm.

The Bi Hai Jin controlled the water flow and silently approached the round "boat tail" in front.

Snap!

Gu Ke couldn't help but automatically add such sound effects in his mind.

Circles of ripples spread on the "tail" of the boat, and Xiaoman flew up and jumped out of the water with a confused look on her face.

Gu Ke suddenly felt that he didn't need to care too much about the posture, and the round lines were their biggest advantage.

Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses: 'Ah, Sister Bai, you actually sneak attack? '

She twisted in the air, from "butt down, reverse flat sand falling wild goose style" to "butt up, hungry tiger pounce on food style", and slammed back into the water.

The stream immediately became a place for the two women to play.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not use blood and martial arts.

Bai Suqing only controlled the water flow in the first palm and completed a silent sneak attack.

At this moment, they were just playing with the control of their bodies and postures.

Even so, the two figures kept jumping up and down in the stream and moving forward quickly.

Gu Ke, who was left behind, did not rush to catch up, but looked up through the river and looked at the scenery on the water.

His feet swung slowly, and he drifted slowly with his body.

A slender figure leaned against the side from behind, slightly behind him, and kept swimming together.

She was wearing a white dress, had long black hair, and swam like a fish. She was Xiao Ping'er, who was left at the end.

She grew up in a fishing village by the sea, and her swimming skills were not much worse than Bai Suqing.

The two looked at each other, smiled together, and swam together slowly.

Xiaoman's screams and Bai Suqing's occasional laughter were heard from afar.

It was the sunny mountain courtyard, and the fish playing in the water knew that spring was coming.

…

In a blink of an eye, autumn turned into winter, and on October 24, it snowed heavily.

Covered with white snow, the mountains on the western plateau were already deserted with birds flying in the thousands of mountains and people disappearing on the thousands of paths.

Although the Jade Dragon Cave is in the void, it is consistent with the world here.

Heavy snow fell from the outside world, painting a silver-clad landscape.

At this moment, most of the farmland in the valley was dead, and processing, manufacturing, and cooking could be done automatically.

Gu Ke and his companions, like the farmers in the northern part of Dawu, entered the hibernation state.

On the top floor of the study, the snowy scenery outside the window was vast, and the tea from the oven was fragrant inside the house.

Gu Ke, Bai Suqing, and Xiaoman were nestling here.

Bai Suqing began his afternoon nap as usual, with the scroll hanging from his hands, swaying above the floor, struggling to keep it from falling.

Xiaoman leaned against Gu Ke, holding a small cake, biting it in his mouth, and did not forget to wink at Gu Ke, signaling him to watch Sister Bai's good show.

Gu Ke would not accompany her to die.

Bai Suqing was just sleepy, not a vegetable.

It was not difficult to notice some movements around him while half asleep.

Of course, she probably wouldn't wake up easily for her routine afternoon nap.

But Xiaoman was persistent in wanting to share the "beautiful scenery" with him, so Gu Ke could only reach out and probe into her smooth back, covering his palm with his mind, releasing waves of warm and peaceful breath.

In just a moment, Xiaoman was lazily curled up on his bamboo couch.

After a few yawns, she also went into a nap like Bai Suqing.

Gu Ke took the remaining half of the cake in her hand and put it on the small table.

He gently stroked the quiet guy in his hand, and his mind was immersed in the classics again.

The snow fell silently, and the study was quiet, with only the faint tinkling sound of bamboo leaves rubbing against each other in the purple bamboo forest.

Gradually, the sky darkened, and the winter night was about to fall.

A clear whistle came from the peak, breaking the tranquility.

Bai Suqing's eyelids trembled, and he came out of the half-asleep state, his eyes flashing with green light, and he restrained them after a few breaths.

Gu Ke also opened his eyes and looked at the top of the mountain.

Only Xiaoman twisted her body and muttered: "Little sister, stop screaming, I'll get up later..."

Bai Suqing looked over and couldn't help but glared at Gu Ke: "Do you want to treat her like a pig and keep her through the winter?"

Gu Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and moved a little closer: "It's time for dinner."

Xiaoman's ears twitched, and she jumped up: "Ah, dinner, dinner."

Bai Suqing looked disgusted, and casually took a linen towel from the side and threw it on her head: "Wipe your mouth, your saliva is flowing out."

Xiaoman wiped the linen towel from her head and wiped the saliva on the side of her mouth, and then her mind was completely clear: "Just now, I seemed to hear my little sister screaming?"

Bai Suqing floated out: "She is going to be promoted."

Gu Ke pointed silently at the towel in Xiaoman's hand, and then pointed at the large pool of saliva weighing at least two taels on the bamboo couch.

Xiaoman threw the towel in her hand.

The towel wrapped the blood and qi, and instantly "shoveled" up and absorbed the saliva, completing the work of "destroying the corpse and erasing the traces".

She turned around and smiled triumphantly, only to find that Gu Ke had also gone out, and she hurried to follow.

When they got outside, the three of them looked up slightly.

There were layers of leaden clouds in the sky, and a piece of white snow on the top of the mountain. Between the two floated a ball of dark blood and qi, with a diameter of about 150 feet, gently drifting in the cold wind.

Unlike the fiery and domineering of the Lieyang Sutra, nor the majestic and solid Bi Hai Jing, this ball of dark blood and qi was like smoke and fog, wisps and wisps, splitting and combining, giving people a sense of lightness and effortlessness.

After a while, the dark color also changed, and a little bit of light and dark spots appeared, and soon turned into pieces.

In the end, the whole ball of dark blood and qi was constantly changing, black and white.

Xiaoman was surprised and whispered: "Hey, it can actually turn white?"

Bai Suqing put her hands in her sleeves and looked up. She couldn't help but stare at him when she heard it: "It's not turning white, but reflecting the whiteness of snow. It itself has no color."

Xiaoman said, "Oh", without any shame for making a mistake.

She didn't even envy Xiao Ping'er for being promoted to Wu Zun first, so why would she care about this.

Bai Suqing said this, and seeing her expression, she knew what Bai said, and stopped teaching her and looked back again.

The dark blood turned snow-white, and at first glance it looked like a white cloud.

After a while, it dimmed again, becoming gray with a little black, like lead clouds in the sky.

At this point, the gray blood still did not stop changing, and quickly switched back and forth between black, white and gray, with an increasing frequency.

Finally, the change stopped.

Xiaoman opened her mouth wide: "Disappeared, disappeared?"

Gu Ke smiled: "Not disappeared, but she has completed her promotion, her blood and qi have merged with the environment, so it is more appropriate to call her invisible."

Xiaoman looked confused, but she felt very awesome, and nodded repeatedly.

Bai Suqing didn't have time to teach her, but just nodded: "Although the sunflower blood is extremely yin, its biggest feature is not coldness, but it is more inclined to hide and sneak. Unpredictable, without a trace, this is what it should be like."

As soon as the voice fell, a figure slowly appeared in front of the three people.

Gu Ke and Bai Suqing didn't look surprised, but Xiaoman was startled and jumped back suddenly.

I saw the other person's face clearly, and then I smiled and rushed over: "Well, little sister, you dare to scare me, I will take care of you."

As soon as the voice fell, she and Xiao Ping'er, who suddenly appeared, laughed and made a mess.

Gu Bai didn't disturb them either.

Even in Yulong Cave, Xiao Ping'er was the third person to be promoted to Martial Honor.

It was good to vent her excitement for such a great event.

After the two children had enough fun, Xiao Ping'er walked to Gu Ke and bowed earnestly: "Thanks to Brother Gu's care, I am lucky to have succeeded in my mission and was promoted successfully."

Gu Ke accepted the greeting sincerely, and then patted her head: "Since you have become a Martial Honor, you should relax for a while, get familiar with and consolidate your strength, and then talk about other things."

After a pause, he continued: "Starting tomorrow, you must not practice martial arts for more than two hours a day. You can use the extra time to cook with me, or teach Xiaoman to make new clothes for the New Year."

"Okay, Brother Gu." Xiao Ping'er agreed with a smile.

Xiaoman was shocked when she heard this: "Ah, do I have to make clothes too?"

Gu Ke chuckled: "Then don't you want to wear new clothes for the New Year?"

Xiaoman considered it for a few breaths and nodded decisively: "Well, I won't make it this year. Anyway, I still have two sets of clothes that I haven't worn."

Everyone was speechless: Was this prepared in advance, or was it a long-planned move, or was it just waiting for the right time?

It was Gu Ke, who was most used to Xiaoman's behavior, who stepped forward and knocked her head: "We will all wear new clothes by then, so don't cry by the side."

Xiaoman hesitated immediately: What's the point of me crying alone?

She looked at the three people, but didn't see the joke, her eyebrows drooped, and she said: "Then, I'll do it."

Bai Suqing and Xiao Ping'er couldn't help but look at her and Gu Ke, laughing in their hearts: These two people really complement each other.

Xiao Ping'er still felt sorry for her elder sister, and went forward to pull Xiaoman to jump down the mountain.

She said she was going to make dinner, but she had already leaned over to whisper a few words.

Xiaoman laughed as she listened, and hugged her and praised her: "I knew, little sister, you wouldn't ignore me."

Gu and Bai looked at each other, chuckled, and jumped down the mountain.

Xiaoman was so heartless that she was easily fooled by Gu Ke. Bai Suqing didn't believe that Xiao Ping'er could bear not to help.

You should know that Xiao Ping'er's skill of flying needles with sunflower blood is better than that of ordinary weaving and embroidery masters.

Most of the new clothes for everyone will have to be made by her.

When the time comes, the new clothes for the three people will fit well and look good, but Xiaoman will wear ordinary new clothes, and she will cry even more miserably.

…

Xiao Ping'er, who was about to break through and concentrate on practicing, is now idle, and there is one more person to spend the winter with.

Xiaoman is also happy because her martial arts training time is also shortened to two hours.

Unlike Bai Suqing, the little girl is not obsessed with strength, after all, she doesn't rely on this to make a living.

They get together, Xiao Ping'er is the main needle and Xiaoman helps, and gives suggestions by the way, so it's not boring to do weaving and embroidery.

The noise of weaving and embroidery can't disturb Gu Bai and others.

The study has more than one floor, and the loom is placed on the lower floor. The two children will go down when they want to start working.

Gu Ke and Bai Suqing had nothing to do, so they occasionally went to inspect and comment on the work progress of the two children.

When Xiaoman was upset, she would pull Xiaoping'er up to eat and drink, or go out to play.

Even on a snowy day, there are still places to play in the valley today, that is - the livestock farm.

The affiliated ranch with a radius of ten miles is protected, and there will be no snowfall, and the temperature is around ten degrees.

Pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks are not greatly affected by the season, and they continue to wander in the grass and woods every day, looking for food and playing.

There is a lot to play with when the active Xiaoman goes there.

For example, with the two grown-up lackeys Xiaohuang and Xiaohei, they are rampant in the grassland of the ranch, showing off their power, with chickens flying and dogs jumping, sheep running and pigs rushing.

You can also take the minimalist fishing rod that Gu Ke taught her to make and go fishing in the river.

All you need is a two-meter-long thin bamboo stick, tie a strong rattan line to the thin end, add a small iron hook without a barb, and hang some fat earthworms from the mud by the river, and you can start fishing.

Why not make a professional fishing rod? Because Xiaoman doesn't like it.

This fishing is not for catching fish. To catch fish, you can just use blood and energy to cast a net, and you can catch fish, shrimps and crabs at the bottom of the river within a radius of ten feet.

Xiaoman said that she did this when she was in the mountains, eh~ just for fun.
