The carriage drove away, with Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin standing on the roof. Jiang Yujin was dancing around with the slender knife.
"This is not swordsmanship at all."
"I said I don't know how to use a sword. I can only teach you how to kill people with a sword."
"These movements are not difficult, nor are they pretty."
"As long as you can kill people, who cares whether you look good or not? Do you think this is dancing?"
"But you teach me over and over again, just these three movements, stabbing, closing, cutting, you are playing tricks on me..."
Sun Zikai was speechless and choked, annoyed and didn't want to speak. Jiang Yujin was also unhappy and said angrily: "How long do I have to practice?"
"Ten thousand times a day."
"Ah? You're just kidding me. I won't practice anymore!" Jiang Yujin sat aside and the carriage shook, almost knocking her off the roof.
Sun Zikai did not make a sound and remained silent. After sitting for a short while, Jiang Yujin got up quietly again, snorted, and then began to stab, withdraw, and chop again.
Half a month has passed, and the desert road has come to an end, and the girl on the top of the carriage is standing more and more steadily. Her body is soaked in sweat. She has to practice those three movements ten thousand times a day, and from the first At the beginning of the fifth day, Sun Zikai deliberately shook the carriage violently, forcing Jiang Yujin to maintain balance all the time. Her legs showed muscles unconsciously, and she became even more skilled in the training after that.
"Hi!" Jiang Yujin suddenly kicked Sun Zikai.
"what."
"Cut you." Jiang Yujin made a move to chop down. Sun Zikai raised his arms and turned around to kick. However, he saw Jiang Yujin step back. When his foot reached, the knife also retracted, and then suddenly stabbed out, but it was not a straight thrust, but While stabbing, he drew it back, changed the direction, switched his right hand to his left, and rushed forward. The tip of the knife had already stabbed in front of Sun Zikai. The whole process was completed within three breaths. Jiang Yujin obviously used all his strength to act for this purpose. .
It's just that her opponent was too strong. Sun Zikai was about to be stabbed, but he suddenly moved to one side, and then kicked Jiang Yujin away, but caught his own knife. I regretted it at that time, and watched her fall to the ground on her face, roll around a few times and eat some yellow sand.
Thinking that this girl was about to deduct the money, Sun Zikai quickly jumped out and stopped the carriage. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yujin turned over and sat on the ground, covered in sand and dust. She spat out the dirt in her mouth. She looked at Sun Zikai looked a little proud and said, "We almost succeeded."
"No...it's not even close."
Jiang Yujin got up, patted her clothes, then ran over, jumped onto the car, grabbed the handle, stepped on the roof of the car, stretched out her hand towards Sun Zikai, and said, "Give me the knife."
"You are almost strong enough to hold a sword."
Jiang Yujin made a sound, then turned the bracelet. After a while, she started to feel worried. Sun Zikai looked back, his eyes widened, and he saw dozens of swords piled on the roof of the car, all of them shining golden swords. He climbed onto the roof of the car, carefully picked up a handful, and pulled it out of its sheath. The cold sharp edge was two inches away, and it was able to scratch a mark on Sun Zikai's skin. The wind blew past the blade, knocking him away. It was cut with a sharp edge and made two deep cuts in the wood.
"This...this sword...what's the origin?"
Jiang Yujin took a look and said, "That was given to my father by a craftsman from the Song Dynasty. My father touched it once."
"How much does this sword cost?"
Jiang Yujin thought about it and replied: "I never thought that my father would take things without money."
Sun Zikai put the sword down gently with extreme caution and asked, "Just pick a light one, don't make it too heavy."
As she kept choosing, Jiang Yujin's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and she still made no decision until the evening. Finally, he said angrily: "Hey, give me a choice, I don't like to choose."
"This one, this one is light."
"That one won't work, it's too ugly."
"Then this one looks good. It's also inlaid with gems."
"Eh-you're too tacky."
"Then this is it, light and simple."
"Not even a tassel."
"This is the head office. We have everything."
"Do you think I can handle it?"
"You!" Sun Zikai still held back, "touch it with your eyes closed."
She did this and touched a handful. Then she opened her eyes and threw it away, saying, "This handful belongs to my sixth sister, I don't want..."
Sun Zikai picked up a handful casually and said anxiously: "Okay! That's it, don't pick any more. Look around, the forest has appeared, we are about to enter the territory of the barbarians."
Jiang Yujin reluctantly took the sword and put the others back, before complaining, "You have really bad taste."
Sun Zikai sighed, jumped off and caught up with the carriage, but instead of walking along the river, he had already remembered the direction and ran straight towards "Ansheng Pass", while Jiang Yujin started practicing on the roof of the car again.
He had been avoiding the barbarians all the way, but today was an exception. Sun Zikai sensed the location of the barbarians within twenty miles, and then rushed in that direction. Half an hour later, I saw more than a dozen barbarians. They were not a small family, but a small team. There were only men, no women or children.
Jiang Yujin, who was still practicing on the roof of the car, saw the figure, panicked and squatted down, shouting in a low voice: "There is someone."
"Go down and kill them."
"What?" Jiang Yujin almost doubted her ears, "You want me to go?"
"Yes, you have practiced for so long and you can kill people."
"I don't want to kill anyone."
"Ah?" Sun Zikai looked at her suspiciously, but quickly figured it out and said, "Oh, I did think it over carefully the first time, but it is not a long process. You go to them In front of you, soon you will have a reason to kill them."
The barbarians had already approached, but Jiang Yujin still felt unreasonable about Sun Zikai's request and said, "Why should we kill them if we can just run away?"
"They are barbarians."
"Do barbarians deserve to die?"
Sun Zikai was stunned, but the barbarian's knife had already struck his head. Without turning around, he punched the man sideways, shattering the man's entire chest. Sun Zikai quickly understood Jiang Yujin's actions. He didn't think the girl was wrong, nor did he think he was wrong. For Jiang Yujin, there was really no reason for barbarians to die. If they could avoid fighting, why not avoid it?
But for him...
When the barbarians saw the bloody scene, they were frightened and fled. Sun Zikai jumped out with his feet, and the cold knife was unsheathed. After eight turns, the knife was put into the sheath, and the vegetation was broken and the body was broken.
He returned to the carriage and drove on. Jiang Yujin looked at Sun Zikai with very complicated eyes, and she whispered: "Why are you so violent? Are you a murderer?"
Sun Zikai did not evade this question and said: "Like you, I once doubted whether the barbarians should be killed. As a human being, no one can easily take another person's life. When you swing a knife, you will always think The reason for swinging the knife and whether it was possible to avoid swinging the knife."
"Then why are you still doing this?"
"Because I have inherited the hatred of my ancestors and have personally experienced the process of generating hatred. When the hand wielding the knife has a reason to chop it off, people will not have so many thoughts when drawing the knife. "
"When is the time to repay grievances? Hatred must be resolved one day. I don't like to fight and kill..."
"Then why are you practicing? Isn't it for revenge?"
Jiang Yujin nodded, shook her head, and sighed: "It's also to enable myself to survive."
"You have not lost your mind to hatred. You are kind and powerful." Sun Zikai drove the carriage calmly and continued, "If possible, try not to put yourself in such a situation."
"What's the situation?"
"We must kill, and we must do everything we can to kill the opponent."
"Is it like you? But you have killed so many barbarians, but you still can't get rid of your hatred?"
"What cannot be solved, hatred can never be said to be equal to one. I have gone through the process of trying to get through the endless endings inside and outside the customs, and I will no longer think about whether it is worth it, whether it should be done, everything within my reach Here, barbarians cannot be left alive."
Jiang Yujin glanced at him with resentment, lay down on the roof of the car, and muttered to herself: "You are so scary. When you kill someone, you look like an emotionless beast."
Sun Zikai drove the carriage in silence and did not answer any more.
Five days later, they finally saw "Ansheng Pass".
On this day, the men guarding the gate gathered in Lao Yang's house. Everyone sat around a table, and there were two gold bricks stacked on the table.
Everyone was having fun, laughing, and staring with greedy eyes. Liuzi patted Sun Zikai on the head and praised: "You are good, kid. You can earn another piece by going back and forth. Tell me what great things you have done on the way." , you can earn a big piece of gold!”
"I didn't do anything." Sun Zikai covered his mouth and whispered, "That girl is a bitch and throws gold like a stone, so I taught her how to play with a knife for a few days. Counting the escort who came back crying, I earned a piece of gold."
"Brag." Qin Baobao said, "Didn't you sell yourself to him? Hiss...that's not right. You have a big butt and how much is it worth? Could it be that the cock in your crotch is studded with silver? Pippi."
The men laughed heartily, and then Lao Zhang said: "Let's see how to use these two pieces."
The men licked their tongues and said: "Let's just use it and give it to the city. My wife and children are here, but it's useless. I didn't even dare to tell my wife about it, for fear of scaring her to death." .”
Lao Yangchou was panicking, he couldn't use it all, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and after answering, Jiang Yujin walked in.
The men were silent. Jiang Yujin looked at Lao Yang and called Commander Yang. Compared with the first time she came here, she had obviously come out of the darkness, and then said: "That piece of gold was given in advance. He hasn’t earned it yet.”
"I think so," Lao Yang said with a smile, "Girl, please take it back."
"That's not necessary. I still need to rent Sun Zikai to take me to Yanmingzong, because I have no servants, and I have to hire him to take care of me for three months."
When the men heard this, they instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Sixth Son shouted: "I'm scared to death. Don't worry, girl. It's okay for him to be your grandson. Can three months be enough? Three years is fine too."
"Hey, Sixth Brother, I..."
Lao Zhang grabbed Sun Zikai and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up, it's not good to take such a big advantage? You took good care of me, and I lost money."
"Oh, got it."
At night, Sun Zikai was guarding the wall of the pass, looking out at the outside of the pass. Jiang Yujin came closer wearing a robe. The wind in March was still cold. She rubbed her hands, pulled Sun Zikai's clothes, and asked, "Is there anyone over there?"
"No."
"You have to stay here all night."
"Well, it's my turn to keep vigil."
"Then I'll go back to sleep."
"Go to sleep."
Jiang Yujin walked out three steps, suddenly picked up a stick on the ground, turned back and stabbed Sun Zikai in the waist.
"what?"
"Who asked you to kick me off the carriage during the day? You thought that was all."
“…”
