104 Tombs(2/2)
Her mother also told her before she died that the world is dangerous and her own safety must be the priority in everything, so she must at least practice martial arts at the top of the world like her aunt.
And this puts a lot of pressure on Miss Yang.
Although she has achieved some success in practicing Qigong in the past three years, the more she improves, the more she feels that she is far away from the level of masters like her aunt and Meng Xiuyuan, and she can't help but sigh that the road ahead is long.
When she said to Meng Xiuyuan that "it might be three years, or five years, or ten years, I will come back to you after I leave seclusion", she was not sure about the progress of her practice. She predicted the progress according to three conditions: smooth, average, and not going well.
time.
Now it seems that there is no chance in three years, but in five and ten years, the possibility of ten years is higher.
The reason why she sent such a letter to Meng Xiuyuan was mainly to explain the matter. Because she felt that it would be at least a few years before she met Meng Xiuyuan.
Although Miss Yang's feelings of longing are obvious between the lines, she is also very restrained. At the end of the letter, she only said:
"I wish you all the best and see you again in the future."
Obviously, the young and ignorant girl back then has matured a lot after three years. She understands her responsibilities as the heir of the ancient tomb, and also knows that some words cannot be said casually.
Youth is easy to pass by, and no one has the right to let others wait for her for several years just because of wishful thinking.
After reading the letter, Meng Xiuyuan put down the letter in his hand. Without any further emotion, he took out the silk handkerchief in his arms and asked the old woman opposite:
"Old man, there are three exercises printed on this handkerchief. Do you know what they are specifically?"
When the old woman heard this, she naturally knew that Meng Xiuyuan was testing her, but she didn't feel unhappy. Instead, she laughed happily:
"Young hero, you have indeed read the contents of the handkerchief. Well, the girl will be happy if she knows this.
These three martial arts are respectively the [Qi Training Chapter], the [Yi Jin Yi Bone Strengthening Chapter] and the [Healing Chapter] of the Nine Yin Manual. Am I right?
Meng Shaoxia, you don't actually need to worry, you can leave anything to me.
Old lady, I have served three generations of the Yang family in the ancient tomb, and I have watched the girl grow up. Besides, if I don't trust you very much, how could the girl let me deliver a message to you, young hero?"
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard the words, and without talking much, he took out three thin pamphlets from his arms and handed them to the old woman along with the silk handkerchief:
“The exercises on the handkerchief have helped me a lot, and I am really grateful.
These three secret books respectively record my summary of the content of these three articles in the Nine Yin Manual, as well as my personal adapted version. Although it is not enough to compensate, it can be regarded as an expression of my feelings.
I hope you can give it to Miss Yang on my behalf for her reference."
"This..." The old woman was stunned when she heard this. She was born in an ancient tomb, so she naturally knew that the "Nine Yin Manual" was the top martial arts in the world, so she really didn't expect that Meng Xiuyuan could adapt it at such a young age.
However, it was naturally impossible for her to question Meng Xiuyuan. She came to her senses in just a moment and respectfully took the three secret books:
"Yes, Meng Shaoxia, please rest assured that I will be safely handed over to the girl."
After the matter was explained, the old woman didn't even think about going to Wudang Mountain again, and turned around to return to the ancient tomb to resume her life.
But when she was leaving, she saw that Meng Xiuyuan's expression remained as usual, and she didn't see any regrets or distress on his face, so she felt a little worried for Miss Yang and couldn't help but ask one more question:
"Meng Shaoxia, do you also have a letter to bring to my girl?"
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he shook his head slightly.
Although when he read this letter, he could not help but feel a little disappointed, but more importantly, he still felt that it was a matter of course.
We are all sons and daughters of the world, meeting each other by chance, each with his own goals and responsibilities, coming and going in a hurry.
Miss Yang needs to follow the ancestral teachings, practice martial arts in seclusion, and make plans for the safety and inheritance of the Tomb Sect.
Meng Xiuyuan also wants to climb the peak of martial arts and do what he can for the people in this troubled world.
Under such circumstances, there is actually no need to force the two of them to see each other or not see each other for a while.
Therefore, facing the old woman's question, Meng Xiuyuan only smiled and replied:
"There is no need for a letter. I would like to ask the old man to convey a message to Miss Yang for me.
He just said, I wish her success in her practice and success in her magic.
