When the child's voice sounded, Yun Zhong's originally peaceful and tired face slowly straightened up. He saw that the child was still looking towards his sword. He was stunned for a moment and looked towards the sword as well.
Lord Shui of Qinshui Town opened the furnace with his own hands, and ordered his disciples to strike thousands of hammers. Then he threw Yunzhong and Lancang Shui into the furnace fire. How could a sword that had been tempered for a long time be an ordinary thing? , The two patterns of water and fire are intertwined and bound in the sword swallowing, and there is a hidden glow. Although the scabbard is made of extremely plain python skin with chaotic patterns, it is still made by nature. In the eyes of others, it is just an ordinary sword with a slightly clever swallowing, but in the eyes of the child, it seems to be more beautiful than the bamboo horse in the East Village, the cicada in the West City, or the pastry and sugar balls in the market. I can't stand this strange object in front of me.
The man was still apprehensive, so he gently stroked the child's forehead and said softly, "If you want to practice, study hard, ask questions, and work hard, you will definitely be able to have your own sword one day. This sword belongs to this little brother. Don't take it." Touching for too long.”
Although the child was still reluctant to give up, he saw Xiao Mingli and nodded obediently and put away his hands, but his eyes were still looking at the long sword, full of joy.
It wasn't until all the remaining men and women had recorded their names that Yun Zhong stood up and stretched his waist and shoulders. Ye Zhai, who had been standing next to him for a long time, complained, "If I had known that this job was so tiring, I wouldn't have taken it. Stubble, only at this time can we realize that even though the scholar does not move his body, he is still very busy and laborious, and it is not at all lighter than practicing sword and martial arts."
Ye Zhai raised the corner of his lips, "Do you think Young Master Yun gained anything from sitting outside the gate of Nie Mountain for a day? If you feel that you haven't gained any enlightenment, then I will promise you some silver. Let’s take it as today’s hard-earned money.”
The young man was noncommittal and glanced at Ye Zhai, who was dressed in black. "Sure enough, the original clothes are still suitable. The black clothes and white hair are the most inappropriate. If you put it in the story book, nine times out of ten, he will be the villain. In the end, he will always be called the story book." He was beaten to the point of dying, his hands were trembling, and he muttered that his great achievements were not accomplished. Then he died with regret, having spent half his life savings and asking others to take away his belongings as a stepping stone for his future advancement and fame."
Although Yun Zhong has not read many story books, he always picks up a few books from the bookstalls in the small town in his spare time. As time goes by, he has read a lot of story books. But those young men in the book who either wield swords or copy guns have always relied on others' superiority. They can snatch rare objects from others' hands in three or two days, turn evil into good luck, and kill all evil spirits. , although it is a bit vulgar, it does make people feel comfortable when reading it.
"Who says otherwise," Ye Zhai found the young man's statement quite interesting, so his expression became a bit lighter than before, and he said leisurely, "The world is each other's stepping stone. It is a natural cycle. Some people take advantage of others' influence to succeed. If you succeed, it will be natural that one day others will take advantage of the momentum they have accumulated to reach higher. This is true for martial arts practitioners in the world, and it is also true for literary practitioners. After all, they cannot escape. Those idle people who write novels for a living, it seems that they are indeed There are some ways."
Wen Yu on the side shook his head helplessly. Apart from practicing swordsmanship and talking nonsense, his junior uncle loved reading story books most. At first, observing sword energy and enlightenment hurt his origin. He rarely had a few days to spare, so he went to the Shanmen Library one after another. I borrowed several volumes of storybooks one after another. Although it seemed like I was swallowing the whole book and read it very fast, in the end it really made the young man smile. Wen Yu also read a few volumes of story books, but after reading them for three or two days, he always felt that the taste was not good, so at most he patiently read the essential articles in three or two volumes of them, and then discarded them without any care at all. So obsessed.
"Speaking of which, the sect master dresses up like this at night. Could it be that he is going out to compete?" Yun Zhong raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Zhai's black short clothes with curiosity.
There are not many night walkers in brocade clothes, but there are indeed many people who go out in night clothes in the rivers and lakes. It is most convenient to take advantage of the twilight, whether it is to rob homes or kill people with a knife.
"I'm just talking about two things. It's just that I haven't gone down the mountain for a long time, and I have already become one of those unhappy people who don't want to show up. Furthermore, the person I'm visiting has a very high profile. If someone sees him, there will always be some trouble." Ye Zhai disagreed. , took out a bamboo hat from behind, tied up the white hair, covered it all under the bamboo hat, grinned and said, "It is indeed extremely difficult to avoid being recognized by others, but since it is necessary When things are discussed, of course we must try our best to cover it up. I am a street rat in the martial arts world, so I will avoid suspicion even if it lasts a long night."
"But before that, I still have something to ask of you, young hero. Let me give you a try." The black-shirted sect leader looked towards the plain white mountain road. Except for the seamless night, there were trees, rocks, flowers, grass and dead leaves. Even though it was as pale as day, I felt a little bored for no reason. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, if you look at it for ten days, you will no longer be surprised. If you get used to it for a hundred days, it will make you feel bored. If you look at it for a hundred years, you will feel disgusted.
There were only three people left in the courtyard.
"If you don't want to do this, young hero, you don't have to do it. But since you are staying here, you probably feel pity for me who is guarding a mountain alone. I am naturally grateful for this, but I still want to get out of here. Should I take action?" , It all depends on what the young hero wants." Ye Zhai drew his sword and said nothing more, just looking directly at the old well.
"Actually, the mountain master shouldn't have shown his face," the young man sighed. "If the two of us are not good people, and the sect master tells the truth, it is inevitable that this matter will not be spread. Don't say that we are Jianghu people, Yi I’m afraid the Zhang Xian family will have to move together.”
After a slight pause, Yun Zhong couldn't help but ask, "Why does the sect master trust me and me so easily?"
Ye Zhai answered calmly, but it seemed that he had not answered at all.
"Jian Xin, drinking porridge, cheating, and seeing children. If you can't tell the young man's true intentions by relying on these, I, the master of the White Gourd Sect, will have lived in vain for many years. Moreover, if this matter can be solved, even if I go down the mountain, I will Death is very scary. If you live for too long, many unfulfilled wishes that you thought were in your heart are just a passing cloud. How can you believe them or not."
After saying this, the leader of the Hefa Sect turned around and smiled with Wen Yu, "This girl is very good at formations. It's dark now. If she attacks rashly, she might wake up my three disciples. We might as well rely on the formations." The method is used to isolate all kinds of vibrations in the courtyard, and there will be heavy gratitude later."
Wen Yu remained calm and pressed the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand.
"As expected, the sect master is also a practitioner, and his level is not low. If so, why would he look for someone else to help break the situation?"
Ye Zhai didn't answer, and pulled out the rapier from his waist. The sword's light suddenly burst out, and it rose three feet high in the autumn wind. It was originally less than a two-finger rapier, but with the sword energy around it, it was still much wider than an ordinary sword. Three points, suddenly slashing down the ancient well.
The green lotus swayed, but the ancient well, which seemed to be surrounded by cracks, was completely intact, and the thin sword was surrounded by green light, just like the tide being sucked by a giant fish, and every fiber was submerged into the ancient well.
"I also want to explain myself. After all, in today's world, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself," Ye Zhai smiled bitterly, put away the rapier and said helplessly, "Talents below those of cultivation are far inferior to those of swordsmanship. After practicing hard for many years, I still can't Firmly standing on the top of the second realm, it is still a foolish hope to control the sword in the air. Moreover, even if this well is capable of receiving thousands of my sword energy, as usual, let alone smashing it into pieces, it will become stronger and stronger, so I have to Please give it a try, you two. If you can get rid of this gate, you will feel free."
Yun Zhong watched for a long time, and now he slowly walked up the mountain, frowning and looking at the ancient well. The green lotus swayed at the mouth of the well, but it was still gleaming and hazy without any damage despite such a harsh sword light.
"Why don't you go down the mountain yourself and ask the experts from the Taoist Mountain Sect to solve this situation? Instead, you just stay here all day long."
Ye Zhai sighed softly, his eyes still looking at the ancient well, looking extremely tired.
"The young knight knows that the common man is not guilty, and he is guilty of carrying a jade. This well absorbs the sun and the moon, and it also contains the energy of the mountains and earth. It has a lot to do with the immortality that those immortals seek. If the news falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, Young Master Yun should know what will happen to people's ears. Even if I want to escape again, this well in the White Gourd Gate cannot be used by others."
When Xu was approaching, Ye Zhai said goodbye to the two of them and went down the mountain alone.
The ancient well had already been split open by the young man's long sword.
The bamboos and trees around the courtyard turn from white to yellow. The autumn night is quiet outside the formation, while the sound of gold and iron inside the formation interweaves.
Probably Ye Zhai is the only one who cannot break the formation, so even if his realm is higher than that of Yun Zhong, one sword attack will only strengthen his strength. The sword energy is drawn from the ancient well, but now it is Yun Zhong who draws the sword, although his realm is still unstable. , but you can see that the ancient well is slowly cracking, and it lives up to its original appearance.
"Master Ye Clan has never worn jade in the past few days. This time when he went down the mountain, he was wearing night clothes, but there was a jade hanging around his waist. I don't know why." Looking at the slight sweat on the young man's forehead, Wen Yu spoke slowly, "Wellhead It's strong, young master uncle, you might as well rest for a while, there is no need to rush this matter, and I warned the younger generation before, so why do I have to be so anxious now."
The young man sheathed his sword, and the tiger's mouth was slightly numb. If it were an ordinary ancient well, it could be broken by just one sword energy. But now this well looks dilapidated, but it is very strong, and the sword energy cannot be broken even if it is sharp for a while. Xu Dan is in trouble, and there is really no way to get better.
"That ancient jade was probably left by the person who the Master of Ye Sect has been thinking about for a long time. I'm afraid that if it stayed in the mountain for a long time, it has a lot to do with that jade pendant. It's rare to go down the mountain, so naturally I have to take it with me." Yun Zhong sighed and sat down on the spot. On the ground, sit cross-legged and calm down.
Ye Zhai didn't know the road, but in Fengyou County, many areas were still brightly lit. One person and one horse went down the mountain. After asking about the old man who was resting and blowing outside the city, he turned his horse's head and slowly headed towards the capital city.
The night was dim, except for the faint lights in the city, which flickered on and off from a distance.
Before going up the official road to Changpo, the master of the Baihu Sect, dressed in black, held up a jade pendant with the word "Hu" engraved on the lower corner.
"Ye Yin is ancient, the moon on the Qiu River, now I don't know the name, but it is a ridiculous thing, and a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye."
When the rain fell to the ground, the man put away his jade pendant and walked on horseback.
