July 21, 1957, Li Yi’s birthday.
As a rural person, I naturally didn’t have a birthday cake. At that time, this thing was not popular in China. Rich people would celebrate birthdays and go to restaurants to entertain friends.
Li Yi obviously didn't have this condition. Bai Shixuejian, who came from outside Shenzhou, was obviously more Westernized. In July every year, primary and secondary schools across the country had their summer vacation, and Bai Shixuejian would return to Yucheng to stay with relatives for a few days at this time.
These few days may be an important cornerstone of their relationship since graduating from elementary school.
"Fake Taoist priest, I'm back."
The 16-year-old Bai Shi Xuejian has very obvious feminine features. She wears a white dress and a straw hat, and greets herself with a faint smile. Her smile is very bright, full of vitality and confidence that rural children do not have, and she is indescribably dazzling on the ridge of the rural field.
Or maybe it can be said that Shiraishi Yukimi has always been dazzling, even in the discriminated elementary school. She attracted a large group of boys to play clumsy jokes on her in an attempt to attract her attention, and most of them would end up being beaten and crying. This is also the source of her nickname "Muscle Stone". If she were a boy, she would definitely be the leader of the children.
At that time, Li Yi was no longer a little kid in his teens. He actually began to be curious about the opposite sex. If his family was a little richer at that time, he was not working in the fields, or even if Bai Shi's family was a little poorer, he might not be able to help but express his budding feelings.
Li Xingguo said, "Go ahead. You don't need to help me these days."
"Yeah." Li Yi tried his best to restrain his excitement, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
On the ridge of the field, the girl in white reached out to him, and with her usual strength, she pulled Li Yi up.
Li Yi admitted that his heart was beating uncontrollably. To cover it up, he teased as usual: "My strength is as great as the mountains!"
"screw you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi was kicked down by Bai Shixuejian, and half of his body fell in the mud. The culprit raised his fist at him, revealing two white fangs and pretending to be fierce.
"Fake Taoist priest, be careful or I'll beat you up."
They have always been straightforward in their interactions, and Bai Shi Xuejian is as rude as ever. Perhaps the short time they have spent together has made them think that only by spending time together without any gaps can they maintain their friendship, and it also conceals their passing-the-flower-style relationship.
But sometimes Bai Shi Xuejian would always break the drum.
As the summer vacation of 1956 was coming to an end, Shiraishi Xuejian gave him an exquisite little box.
Li Yi asked: "What is this?"
"Cellphone." Bai Shixuejian did not hide anything. "There is a phone card in it. You have to call me every month from now on."
The Shiraishi family is very wealthy. It is said that the reason why they came to the small place of Yucheng to study in elementary school was due to some political factors. As one of the leaders of the naturalization faction, their family was targeted by some radical elements, so they hid for a while for safety.
After saying that, Bai Shi Xuejian trotted into her family's car, not giving him a chance to return it.
That night, Bai Shi Xuejian sent a message: Fake Taoist, if you feel embarrassed, you can just send a text message.
Li Yi: Muscle Stone, I want to apply to Teikyo University.
Shiraishi Yukimi: Then I’ll take the exam too.
Li Yi quickly came out of his memories, fiddled with the flip phone in his hand, and found a universal charger. Unfortunately, both the flip phone and the universal charger were broken, probably because they had not been used for a long time and got damp.
"What a pity." Li Yi felt a little regretful. He put the flip phone and the universal charger back into the wooden box and started playing with the smart phone made in Qi.
As the saying goes, the new must go before the old can come, this flip phone is more meaningful than practical, so just keep it as a souvenir.
At noon, after Li Yi had finished his meal, he took a bamboo chair and came to the shade of the tree in the courtyard. He took the longan wood he had turned over from the corner and started chopping it with a hatchet.
He planned to make a sword to serve as the center of the formation and to remove the moisture from the house.
He kept chipping away until the evening, when a wooden sword finally took shape. The sword was seven feet long, yellowish brown, and had a square hilt.
"Son, what are you doing?"
Li's mother, who was preparing dinner, was quite curious when she saw the sword. She didn't expect that her son had this skill.
"Sword is the king of all weapons." Li Yi performed a sword show with great pride.
Sword skills are a hot field in the cultivation world, and their popularity is no less than that of computers in this era. Basically, more than half of the cultivators know a few sword skills, and many of them are equipped with a magic sword to make flying more graceful.
Li Yi was no exception. Not long after he left his hometown and entered the world of cultivation after turning a hundred, he bought himself a magic sword named Han Guang, spending almost all his belongings on it.
Soon after, the sword broke accidentally because it could not bear his own power. Later, he concentrated on creating his first magical power, the Small Five Thunders Law, and thus neglected the sword art.
When he picked up the sword again, he was already 600 years old, after a century of seclusion due to excessive killing. At that time, in order to avoid suspicion, Li Yi changed his appearance and used the sword on a whim.
Li Yi's understanding of weapons has never been high, and most of the related magical powers he created were imitating others and following the path of his predecessors. Li Yi learned mostly to learn by analogy, hoping to benefit from it.
If we extend it further, apply it to similar cases and extend it, we will be able to accomplish everything in the world.
He has learned 3,600 magical powers, many of which are multiple, and hundreds of thunder methods are not even half as good as the Little Five Thunder Methods. Isn't this the dilemma he faces, learning all the unique skills in the world just to reach the threshold of becoming an immortal.
Li's mother couldn't help laughing, but she didn't expose her son.
