I open a shop in Qixia Town

Chapter 649 1:1
This set of music simulates the vastness of the ocean, with calm water for miles and the tide in the distance slowly approaching, getting faster and faster, followed by turbulent waves and whitecaps. In the tide, fish leap and whales float, and on the surface of the sea, there are howling winds and flying gulls. In addition, there are water monsters and sea monsters, and the demons are making trouble. Suddenly, icebergs float by, and suddenly the sea is boiling. It is extremely changeable. After the tide recedes, the surface is as smooth as a mirror, but the seabed is full of turbulent undercurrents. There are hidden dangers in the silence, which makes the listeners fall into the trap unknowingly, which is especially hard to guard against.

After listening for a moment, Ouyang Ke couldn't help but raise the bamboo branch in his hand and dance.

Ouyang Feng sighed, grabbed the pulse point on his wrist, took out a silk scarf and plugged his ears, and waited until he calmed down before letting go.

On the other hand, Guo Jing remained unaffected and continued to beat the rhythm, sometimes faster and sometimes slower.

Seeing that Ouyang Ke was the first to fail, Huang Rong was overjoyed and ran to Guo Jing and hugged him.

"Great, Brother Jing, you win!"

Huang Yaoshi also stopped when he saw this.

It's strange that this silly boy was not affected by "The Rising Tide of the Blue Sea"!

Ouyang Feng asked sternly, "How can you resist Brother Yao's music? Did you cheat by plugging your ears with something?"

Huang Rong put her hands on her hips and said sarcastically, "Tsk, your nephew's internal strength is not as good as others, and you still blame others for plugging their ears. If you can't afford to lose, then don't compete at all."

Huang Yaoshi looked at Guo Jing thoughtfully.

"Brother Ouyang, you don't have to doubt it. This is God's will."

"God's will? What God's will?"

Ouyang Feng frowned and looked at Huang Yaoshi.

He always felt that Huang Yaoshi was weird.

Huang Yaoshi explained: "Guo Jing does not understand music at all, so he can avoid the power of my song "The Rising Tide of the Blue Sea".

Hong Qigong and Zhou Botong smiled at each other.

Huang Yaoshi said with emotion: "The sound of his beating and the sound of my flute blend into one. This is God's will."

Ouyang Feng was speechless for a moment.

Huang Yaoshi comforted him, "Brother Ouyang, you don't have to be disappointed. There is still a third test question."

Hong Qigong hurriedly asked, "Hey, hey, hey, Huang Laoxie, what is the third question about?"

Huang Yaoshi replied, "This test is neither a test of martial arts nor a test of internal strength. It requires the two of them to recite a book. Whoever recites more and better wins."

Huang Rong pouted and said, "You still say you are not biased, but you know that Brother Jing has a bad memory, how could he recite it all in such a short time?"

"What do you know? This is what your mother meant."

Huang Rong didn't believe what Huang Yaoshi said at all. She didn't believe that her mother would make things difficult for the person she loved.

"Hey, Jing'er, why don't we just leave? The person who set the test questions is not fair at all. It's obvious that he wants you to lose on purpose. What's the point of competing?"

After a night of teaching, Hong Qigong, who already knew how stupid Guo Jing was, could no longer tolerate it.

Guo Jing said firmly: "Former Master, I will win no matter what. I will not admit defeat."

"Good boy!"

Feeling Guo Jing's determination, Hong Qigong didn't know what to say and could only pat him on the shoulder to encourage him.

Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "Okay, since Nephew Guo is so confident. Ke'er, you can play with him."

Ouyang Ke replied: "Yes."

Huang Yaoshi looked at his daughter.

"Just sit still and don't do anything naughty."

Huang Rong said nothing, thinking that Guo Jing would lose this battle, and secretly planned to escape from Peach Blossom Island with Guo Jing. Huang Yaoshi ordered Ouyang Ke and Guo Jing to sit side by side on a stone bench, and he took out a red silk booklet from his arms and placed it in front of them.

When Ouyang Ke saw the six words "Nine Yin Scriptures" written in seal script on the front of the booklet, he was immediately overjoyed and thought: This "Nine Yin Scriptures" is the most unique martial arts in the world. My father-in-law has shown his favor and allowed me to read this rare book.

When Guo Jing saw these six seal characters, he could not recognize a single one and became extremely anxious.

Huang Yaoshi opened the first page and found that the text in the book was written in regular script with beautiful handwriting, which must be the work of a woman.

Guo Jing only glanced at one line when his heart skipped a beat. The first line read: "The Way of Heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency. Therefore, the empty overcomes the actual, and the insufficient overcomes the surplus." It was exactly the sentence that Zhou Botong had taught him to recite. As he continued to read, every word was so familiar to him.

"You two read this book together. I'll count to 100. Whoever recites the most wins. Start now."

Huang Yaoshi gave an order.

Guo Jing and Ouyang Ke began to read it.

Huang Yaoshi waited for a while, thinking that the two should have finished reading, and turned the page. By the second page, some words and sentences were missing, and the text became more scattered and disordered as it went on, and the writing became weaker and weaker.

Guo Jing had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Could it be that Brother Zhou had foreseen this and knew this would happen so he taught me first?
Seeing that he was in a daze, Huang Yaoshi thought that he had already read so much that his head was spinning, so he ignored him and continued to turn the pages slowly.

Ouyang Ke could still remember the first few lines, but when he read the actual method of practicing the exercises, he found that the text was in a mess and not a single sentence could be understood. Later on, he found that the whole page was full of skipped lines and missing words. He could not help but sigh in frustration and thought: It turns out that he is still unwilling to show the full text of the true scripture to others.

But then I thought, although I may not see the entire text of the scripture, I still remember more than this fool. I am sure to win this test.

When he thought of this, he was immediately overjoyed and could not help but look at Huang Rong.

But she stuck out her tongue and made a face at him.

Huang Rong suddenly said, "Brother Ouyang, you captured my sister Mu and put her in the coffin in the ancestral hall, suffocating her to death. She came to me in a dream last night with disheveled hair and a bloody face, saying she wanted to take your life."

Ouyang Ke had long forgotten about this matter. When he heard her mention it, he was slightly startled and cried out, "Oh, I forgot to let her out!"

It's a pity to suffocate this girl.

But seeing Huang Rong's smiling face, he knew she was lying, and couldn't help asking, "How did you know she was in the coffin? Did you save her?"

Ouyang Feng knew that Huang Rong wanted to distract his nephew so that he would not be able to remember the words in the book, so he reminded him, "Ke'er, don't worry about other things, just focus on memorizing the book."

"Yes."

Ouyang Ke was startled, responded quickly, then turned around and looked at the album.

Guo Jing saw that every sentence in the book was what Zhou Botong had taught him to recite, but there were many omissions and skipped sentences in the book, which was far less complete than what he remembered in his heart. He looked up at the treetops, still unable to figure out the reason.

Everyone watched the two of them reciting, with different expressions on their faces.

It didn't take long before the number reached one hundred.

Huang Yaoshi opened the book and asked, "Who will recite first?"

Ouyang Ke thought that the words in the book were all mixed up and difficult to remember. I should be able to memorize more of them while they were still fresh in my memory.

He rushed to say, "I'll recite it first."

Huang Yaoshi nodded and said to Guo Jing, "Go to the bamboo forest and don't listen to him reciting."

Guo Jing followed his instructions and walked several dozen steps.
