The moon and stars are scarce, and the courtyard at night is quiet, except for the occasional cricket cry in the grass. I lay in bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, still thinking about the day.

Since the story of the old man defeating the Sword Saint is fake, are the stories of the Sword Saint that Xiao Shi told me also false? I have learned the power of false rumors before, and after a sentence is passed on by many people, the final meaning may change greatly. And how many of the deeds of the Sword Master were added by people out of worship for him, intentionally or unintentionally?

"Bangbang-" There were three sounds of wooden bangzi outside, it was already the third watch, and I didn't feel sleepy at all, got up from the bed, put on my clothes, and prepared to go out for a walk.

The bright moonlight pours on the ground like a waterfall, and the mountain villa is particularly beautiful at night. A breeze blew, bringing a little coolness, I involuntarily tugged at my clothes, a trace of loneliness slowly crept up in my heart, I began to miss the time and space that belonged to me, my friends, are you all okay with your life?

Before I knew it, I had already walked to the martial arts training ground, and a "buzzing" sound of metal vibration came from there. I walked straight over, and by the moonlight, I saw a man practicing his sword under the moon: a white robe could not cover his muscular figure, and the white scarf rose and fell from time to time with his movements, and his every move was full of grace, which stunned me, and finally understood why the ancients liked to dance their swords while drinking.

I don't know how long it has been, but a set of hearty swordsmanship has been danced. Seeing that he finished the action of collecting the sword, I couldn't help but praise softly: "Good swordsmanship!"

"Who!" an alert voice came from the other side.

"It's me. I walked over slowly.

"Oh, it turned out to be junior sister, haven't you slept so late?" The other party's tone suddenly softened, and when he came over, he realized that it was Qin Yuanzhao who practiced the sword. Under the moonlight, his fair face was covered with beads of sweat, which set off his face very clearly.

I handed him the handkerchief I was carrying with me and asked, "It's so late, senior brother, you haven't slept yet?"

He wiped his sweat and said to me, "Well, it's the afterlife conference in two days, so hurry up and practice more and strive to get the first place." I suddenly remembered the conversation between the two old men at noon today. I can't help but ask, "Where is it held?"

"On the fifth day of the first month of next month, Jiangling Lingyan Pavilion, I will leave the day after tomorrow. He replied lightly. "Senior brother, I really want to go, take me with you!" "It's been almost two months since I've been here, and I haven't ever gone down the mountain except for going to Chang'an with the old lady.

"No, right?" Yuan Zhao looked very hesitant: "Master and Master will definitely not let you go." "yes, how did I forget the old couple. When I thought of the fierce old man, I got angry, and today I asked him in a good voice how my kung fu was, but I didn't expect to be ridiculed by him.

"What's the matter, you're still angry with Master?" Yuan Zhao seemed to see my thoughts, smiled and pointed to the empty space in front of him and said, "You seem to have been discovered by us near here in the first place." ”

"By the way, I've been forgetting to thank you!" After his pointing, I suddenly remembered that it was he who held the old man's sinful black hand and delayed the time to save my life. "You saved me at the time, and if you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been crippled by now. Hearing my words, he smiled slyly and asked me, "Do you think I saved you?"

"Of course, if you hadn't dragged the old man there, would my mother have arrived in time?"

"Actually, you should thank Master for his old man. Yuan Zhao looked at the dark mountains in the distance and said quietly.

"Who? he's going to abolish me, and I still have to thank him?" I wondered if this doll was stupid to practice swordsmanship.

"If Master really wants to cut off your hands and feet, don't talk about me, even if we go up together, we will definitely not be able to stop him. Master's internal strength is profound, and when we compare it with him, it is simply a mantis arm as a car. ”

"Are you just making a show?" I thought.

"I have been following Master for ten years, and I know very well what Master is like. Yuan Zhao seemed to fall into deep thought: "You don't know, in fact, after the master checked your injuries at that time, he probably guessed that you lost your memory and martial arts because you secretly practiced the "Hundred Battles Heart Method". So he secretly asked me to go back and ask my wife to come over, and so a good show happened after that. ”

The old man was trying to scare me in the first place, and what was he doing it for? I couldn't figure it out.

"Master has been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and what he values most is the family rules. If you make an exception, he will feel that he will not be able to continue to control us disciples in the future. That's why he sacrificed his face and borrowed the hand of his master to save you. After listening to Yuan Zhao's explanation, it dawned on me that the old man was just putting on a show!

"You have to be considerate of Master and his old man, after all, he is the head of a major martial arts sect, and he must have a lot of concerns in the handling of some things. Yuan Zhao admonished me earnestly. "Master has his own purpose when he does many things, just like the reason why you came out to serve tea and pour water recently is not to trouble you. ”

"Why is that?" I really can't think of any other reason than to entertain me. Yuan Zhao suddenly approached me, lowered his voice in my ear and said, "That's because I don't know who spread the news that you secretly practiced the "Hundred Battles Heart Method", and Master asked you to come out to welcome guests just to dispel this rumor." ”

I thought about it carefully, and I felt right: the martial arts cheats of a martial arts sect were actually stolen by the daughter of the head, and it was forgotten if it was stolen, and that stupid daughter actually lost her martial arts because of the practice of the above martial arts, and her memory was lost. After a little bit of Yuanzhao's dialing, I slowly felt that this stinky old man was not as annoying as I imagined, but it was a bit of a feeling of dying to save face and suffer from it.

Before I knew it, Senior Brother Yuan Zhao and I had walked from the martial arts training ground in the backyard to the vicinity of the rockery in the front yard, and a gust of mountain wind blew, making me shiver from the cold. Yuan Zhao took off his robe and draped it over me with understanding.

"You still wear that bracelet!" Seeing the jade bracelet on my right wrist, Yuan Zhao suddenly said this. Could it be that this bracelet was given to me by Yuan Zhao? It happened suddenly, and I am not sure.

I hurriedly said, "Oh, I like this jade bracelet a lot" and wanted to prevaricate, but I kept muttering in my heart: Didn't you say that Miss Xiaoxiao had always ignored this senior brother before?

Yuan Zhao saw through the question in my heart at a glance, stretched out his hand and flicked my head and said, "Ouch, don't pretend to remember if you forget! Miss Feng, this is what I Qin Yuanzhao brought back to you from the Western Regions." After that, he also said to himself: "You didn't want so many things to give you before, but I fell in love with this cheap jade bracelet, I really don't understand you." "Could it be that this jade bracelet was really given to me by Yuan Zhao?
