Both boys were unwilling to take steps again. It turned out that the sect had to walk and stand for four to five hours every day. Their legs and feet were already trembling and their whole bodies were tired. They have to go to guard the gate outside the mountain gate. Whether they are martial arts practitioners who come to see and discuss, or tourists and scholars who often visit Pehao Mountain to enjoy the scenery, the two boys must receive them politely and not show off at all. Therefore, even if my legs and feet are sore and numb after standing outside the door, and it is difficult to regain consciousness for a long time, I still have to endure the trembling of my feet, straighten my back and stand for a long time.
"Just let him go. Although the side building is simpler, there are people guarding it, so there is no place to rest. It's better to go back to the room to rest as soon as possible." The boy in front was very troubled and frowned, "I want to be here. If you disturb others during the season, you will be seen as a troubled person. There is no need to worry about it anymore. It is best to go back to your room. If you just walk around every day, you will almost lose your legs. There will be no spare time to entertain the guests. "
The boy in the back was obviously a little worried, but his feet were really sore and numb, and he really didn't want to take a step. He kept looking out the door with a troubled expression.
"It's only the Youshi hour now. Logically speaking, people in the sect shouldn't rest so early." Yun Zhong outside the door was puzzled. He was about to knock on the door again, but he used the hidden light of the stars and moon to see clearly what was on the plaque. After reading the book, he quickly took back his hand and smiled bitterly at Wen Yu, "It seems that this sect closed its doors very early. I'm afraid it would be a bit rude to knock on the door again, which would inevitably disturb the peace of others. It's better to go to the side building to stay overnight. It won’t be a problem to enter Fengyou County again tomorrow.”
Wen Yu nodded, looked at the sky outside the mountain, and replied kindly, "People in the sect work hard to practice martial arts, and you and I are well aware of the hardships involved. What's more, it's already dark now and there are no tourists. Please close your doors early." Resting is not reasonable, it’s all up to my junior uncle to make the decision.”
The young man nodded, took the reins of the black deer, held the two horses with one hand, and headed towards the side building.
The leaves fall with the wind, and the grass is all plain, not like goose yellow, but like winter snow, but the sound of the wind and the leaves is much noisier than during the heavy snow season.
Yun Zhong was still holding the two horses with one hand, walking side by side with Wen Yu, but he didn't know when his right hand had pressed the hilt of the sword.
The sword was drawn out in an instant, and the falling leaves made a crisp sound like the tide.
Hearing the sound of wind, the sound of leaves, the sound of clear springs in the Shiwan Mountains, the young man could distinguish between footsteps and other noises. Therefore, even Wen Yu was not aware of the slight footsteps. Yun Zhong had already sensed the distance of people based on this sound. Draw out the sword Wuji and walk straight towards the dragon and snake.
The sound of gold and iron splashing is like a bell ringing at night on the top of Pekoe Mountain.

"Little friend, please do me a favor." The figure moved slightly and walked out from among the white leaves. His figure seemed to blend into the bleak autumn night, his steps were brisk, his face was clearly very handsome, but his head was full of white hair, which was particularly eye-catching.
Yun Zhong still stood with his sword in hand, with no intention of sheathing it.
This person's steps are obviously very good at lightness. His shoes don't reach the ground, and he always walks with his feet flat. His body movements are like fallen leaves in autumn, floating like the wind. Such a superb body movement is definitely not an ordinary person.
"I am the master of the Baihu Sect. The autumn night is bleak and I can't sleep peacefully. I thought that going out for a walk would relieve my worries, so I walked outside the mountain gate for no reason. I saw this young man wearing a sword on his waist. I felt itchy for a moment. You are probing this abruptly, and now I have to apologize to you two." The visitor raised his hands in salute, but the salute was quite complicated no matter what. He put his left hand on the tip of his right fist and twisted it slightly, and then flattened his left palm. He lowered his head slightly, which was different from the way ordinary people in the world clasped their fists.
The young man was filled with doubts. He held his sword in his hand and could not salute. He had no choice but to nod slightly in return. Wen Yu was protected by the young man behind him. He didn't know what to do and muttered, "Uncle, there is no need to worry." , This person has no murderous intent, and since he has a back-up plan, he is not in danger."
"In addition to intentionally testing your skills, I would like to give this young man a word of advice." The man put away his sword, looked at the young man's five fingers holding the reins, and said with slight hesitation, "When leading two horses at the same time, the reins should never be separated. It is best to Just tie it up with a rope buckle. If the two horses are frightened, just respond in time. If you can't respond in time, I'm afraid the whole palm will be torn in half, and it will be too late."
As he watched the scenery along the way, he noticed that the woman beside him had a full smile on his face. Yun Zhong's mind was indeed not on the two horses. After the man asked for advice, he realized that it was exactly as the man said. Four fingers were hooked on a rein, and the remaining one was holding the reins. It is a taboo to hang the other rein loosely. Although there are not many horses in the Yizhang Jianghu, and they are not as strong as the horses of Dayuan, they are not too rare in any case. I heard someone in the caravan say that it is most difficult for one person to hold two horses alone. If you control the reins, if you are attacked, the frightened horse may run away, or it may tear the palm of your hand, no matter how difficult it is to deal with.
"Thank you." Yun Zhong tightened his grip on the horse's reins and asked casually, "Since he is the master of the Baihu Sect, I have heard of the reputation of my senior before I came here. It can be said that few people in Fengyou County know about it. The reputation is very good, so naturally I didn’t mean to do any harm to the two of us, but it’s a nuisance to go up the mountain to enjoy the scenery at dusk.”
Unexpectedly, the man was slightly startled when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "I have not gone down the mountain for ten years, but I have never thought that there are still people thinking about me in the rivers and lakes. This is a bit shameful. Things have changed and the stars have changed several times. It seems that the years in the mountains have changed. , it’s always shorter than the outside.”
Even though he said this, the young man did not put away the sword in his hand for a while: This person's sword movement is so fast that even Yun Zhong, who has been practicing swordsmanship for a long time and has rarely seen an opponent, is a little overwhelmed. He heard the faint sound of footsteps earlier, I was already on guard, but when I tried to block the sword again, I didn't move faster than this person, let alone that he was the one who came first. I could only hold off, and that was all I could do.
There is no reason for youth to be wrong in using this method. At least he has the sword in his hand and has the upper hand. As for what this person said just now, he will not go down the mountain for ten years, but he did not think about it in detail.
The man also saw Yun Zhong's fear and didn't say much. He raised his hand and took off his sword. He stood outside the mountain gate with empty hands and said kindly, "Since I have nowhere to stay for the night, I went to the gate and stayed there. It was originally clean and uninhabited, and the entire sect, including the servants, could only be counted on two hands. However, there were a few masters who had gone far in the way of swordsmanship, but now they were wandering away. There were only a few disciples left in the mountains, and their houses were empty. It’s useless at first, so it’s better to rent it to the two of you for a short stay. Although I don’t care about food, it’s still much better than the simple place in the side building.”
His tone was even and steady.
Yun Zhong raised his eyebrows, looked at the man's appearance, and finally asked, "The master of the sect has white hair, but his face does not look old. According to people in the world, he is actually successful in spiritual practice. To invite him so generously, it would be better to be respectful." I obey, junior Yunzhong, thank you in advance."
"It's easy to say that Ye Zhai, the master of the Baihu Sect, we meet each other in the Jianghu. It's a great fate." The man smiled heartily, then scratched his hair and said, "I dare not accept the words that I am successful in practice. I am born with white hair. Calculating it carefully, I am only in my early teens now, compared to my younger brother, I am still very young. It is so shameful to waste ten years with such swordsmanship and ears."
The three people and two horses walked into the door together. In the courtyard, the two boys still had not gone far. They heard the voices outside and were quite familiar. They really did not expect that their master would appear outside the door for no reason. They quickly shut up and lowered their heads, quietly. Waiting for your master to teach you.
Ye Zhai looked at the two disciples whose legs and feet were shaking frequently without realizing it. He smiled helplessly, took out a bamboo board from his waist, knocked each one several times, and then sighed, "The autumn night is cold, I can't blame you two for playing slippery. It was the same when you and I were our age. Just don't do it again next time." Then he ordered the two boys to go back to their rooms to rest without any further punishment.
The courtyard is clean, with not many furnishings. Except for a few plain white bamboos planted in the corners on both sides of the porch, there are no special objects. It is simple and bright. The buildings are only three stories, with four or five scattered ones. The cornices are not even the least elegant, even in Xijun In many wealthy areas, the cornices and corridors are extremely grand compared to this one. However, in the simple courtyard, there is an ancient well. The moon in the well is shaking, causing the lotus flowers in it to be cut into pieces, and the artistic conception is hidden.
As soon as he entered the door, Yun Zhong took advantage of the moonlight to look at the layout of the courtyard. He was carrying a large bamboo slip, and there were no complicated decorations. Even the martial arts spear and stick in the middle of the courtyard were polished by the palms of the martial arts practitioners. The mirror looks like it hasn't been changed in many years.
"There are always no redundant objects in the mountain Qingxiu place. It looks really simple, and it is not as rich as the famous sect. In the final analysis, I am the leader of the sect who is not very capable and has little ability, but he can't let go. The master has never made money with his skills." Ye Zhai led the two of them to a small building and sighed for a moment, "Go back a hundred years, and this White Gourd Gate will not only look like what it is now, but it will also have disciples gathered here. Every time the mountain gate is opened and disciples are recruited, gangs from all over the world come to congratulate us. Now we can find it in the ancient books, and there are no clues about the current decline."
Yun Zhong stopped the horse and happened to hear Ye Zhai's words. He said with relief, "It's not necessarily a bad thing. The sect is cleaner and more likely to produce some high-ranking disciples. In the future, they will spread out in the rivers and lakes and spread their branches. The reputation of Baihu Sect may not be the same." It won’t last for hundreds of generations, and with such an outstanding figure as the sect leader, why worry about it?”
Ye Zhai shook his head, his white hair swaying, and sighed, "If such a day really happens, it will be a blessing for the Baihu Sect and a blessing for the world. Now the Immortal Family is more popular than many other sects, and no one does not hope that he will have one." Immortal bones can be used to enter the immortal family. Ling Taixu, the world is not only less lively than usual, it is even a little lonely, thanks to the good words of the young hero."
After bidding farewell to the host, Wen Yu and Yun Zhong opened the door to check in together. Instead of taking a rest, they sat across from each other in front of the window lattice, lit a lamp and chatted for a few words.
The autumn wind blows heartily, and the coolness enters the building.
"How good is this sect leader's swordsmanship?" Wen Yu had noticed the young man's solemn expression earlier. Now he held up the tea cup and asked before taking a sip.
The young man pointed to his forehead and spoke calmly, "An old friend once said that my swordsmanship is probably not weaker than that of ordinary masters. The seniors who have established their own path in swordsmanship also have the same skills and never fall behind. In fact, it is also a trick; Master's Even if the sword's path, sword's power, and sword's intention have not yet been mastered, it has already passed through more than ten years of hard training. After obtaining the Sui Lord sword manual in Qinshui Town, his cultivation has improved for more than ten years. Combined into one, it can save nearly half a year of hard work. But today, the swordsmanship of this sect leader is two or three floors higher than mine."
"It's hard to say clearly how young you are until you are close to a demon."
