Chapter 41: After the Fact
Pingdong Town Inn.
In the evening, Shangguan Tingxue woke up in the room, covered with a thin quilt to resist the cold of late autumn, surrounded by a soft and warm body, the room was the increasingly dim light, and outside the window, it was a dusk that exuded the warm glow of orange and yellow.
Relatives are missing, the magic sound seduces the soul, the demon trap, and then goes to Wuhua, rushes into the trap, and is under siege...... None of this seems to have happened.
The sudden safety and tranquility left her confused.
She sat with her hands on her feet for a while, and it took a long time for her to remember something important, and quickly turned the woman who was still sleeping on her side. When the guide saw the familiar sleeping face, he was completely relieved.
"Are those all dreams?" she muttered to herself, remembering the people she cared about in her dreams, the girl turned her head to look at the bedside, "Jiang Zuo?!"
Not there.
The boy who usually stands in an inconspicuous corner, and the girl who waits silently is not there.
Shangguan Tingxue retracted her gaze in disappointment, and there was an inexplicable emotion brewing in her heart, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Sister Su didn't know when she came back, she looked so tired that she didn't even notice that she was getting up, and she was still asleep.
"Since it's not a dream, Sister Su is back, and my brother should be back too......" With such thoughts, Shangguan Tingxue carefully moved out of bed, put on his shoes and walked out.
Outside, the sun was about to set, dyeing everything in the yard with a warm glow.
In the darkening night, the girl went outside the house and saw her brother and several acquaintances.
Two reclining chairs were placed a few steps in front of the room, and one of them sat Xu Heng. The man in the dark clothes was lying on the chaise longue with his right hand on the chaise longue, his two fingers on his temples, his eyes slightly closed, and the whole person looked lazy;
In the courtyard, a young man in black who he didn't know stood like a standing pine, holding a long sword in his hand, and his eyes were like torches supervising the two teenagers to practice.
Ju Cailiang and Xu Zhen seem to have been exercising for a long time, and their clothes are already wet with sweat, but they are still meticulously holding a wooden stick in their hands and practicing swordsmanship.
Ju Cailiang has a foundation in swordsmanship, and his posture is more in place when he dances his sword, and he is easy to deal with Xu Zhen when he is practicing;
However, thanks to the young man in black, he taught the two of them according to their aptitude, so that they improved their swordsmanship ability at the same time.
Shangguan listened to Xue and looked at it for a while, then turned his head and walked towards Xu Heng.
Xu Heng had long been aware of the girl's appearance, and when the girl came over, he opened his eyes and looked at his sister-in-law.
The brother and sister looked at each other and fell silent for a while.
Xu Heng stretched out his hand towards the girl and said with a smile: "Listen to the snow ......"
"You!big!bad!bad!you!"
Looking at Xu Heng with a smile like the past, the panic, anger, sadness, and powerlessness that the girl had accumulated for a long time broke out all of a sudden, and jumped on Xu Heng while shouting the big villain, scratching and scratching, and trying her best to tilt all her strength to Xu Heng.
Xu Heng, who knew that he was at a loss, could only bear it with a smile, and let the girl beat him to the point where he grinned.
The fight with the mysterious woman left him seriously injured, and less than a day after the fight at that time, the injury improved slightly, and he could barely withstand the girl's punches and kicks.
Ge Shang turned his head and smiled at Xu Heng, who was smiling and hurting: "This little girl has indeed been suppressed for a long time. ”
Xu Heng nodded, trying to control the performance of not having physical pain on his face, and carefully controlling the girl not to fall because the activity was too intense.
It was almost night, and the yard was getting darker and darker, and Pu Feng saw that the time was almost up, so he stopped the two teenagers.
After stopping, the two teenagers went to Pufeng, regardless of sweating profusely.
Xu Zhen was thick-skinned, took the lead in standing in front of the man in black, and asked eagerly: "Big brother, do you think I can do it? Can I go to Wanjian Villa to find the sword in the future?" Ju Cailiang was shot by the gate, his face was relatively thin, and he was embarrassed to ask directly, but he just stood behind Xu Zhen, staring intently at the heroic man, and the eagerness in his eyes was no less than that of Xu Zhen.
"Whether you can find a sword in Wanjian Villa depends on fate," Pu Feng liked these two little guys who were enthusiastic about learning swords, so he also smiled at the moment, "I don't know if you can find a sword that suits you, but I can take you into Wanjian Villa in the future!"
"Okay, okay!" the two teenagers nodded at the same time, their eyes lit up.
Ge Shang lay on the chaise longue and looked at the scene in the middle of the courtyard, which he thought was quite interesting.
Since he knew that the young man in black was the bladeless sword master from Ten Thousand Swords Villa, and that he was responsible for sending swords this time when he went down the mountain, he was also responsible for Pu Feng's
I'm embarrassed to hit the two little guys who are eager to learn swords, and I feel that the swordsmanship quality of the two people is really good, but in case, the sword selection of Wanjian Villa does not completely depend on qualifications, nor does it mainly depend on fate, and sometimes it depends on chance.
For example, this time......
Pu Feng came to Xu Heng and Ge Shang's side, thanked Xu Zhen and Ju Cailiang for the chair they brought over together, carefully looked at Shangguan Tingxue, who was finally riding on Xu Heng, and said apologetically: "Senior Brother Xu, that incident ......"
Xu Heng waved his hand: "It's okay, don't care." Xu Heng looked at the girl in his arms, and reached out to wipe the tears on the pink cheeks at the corners of his eyes, "Fate is like this." There's no need to force it. ”
"Alas. Pu Feng sighed and said no more.
"Is there really such a thing?" is a question from a teenager who has just stepped into the world.
Xu Zhen and Ju Cailiang sat next to them with a small bench, although their age difference is not much, they have almost become two generations before and after the rivers and lakes, so the two children are willing to bow down.
Seeing that the conversation between Xu Heng and Pu Feng came to an end, Xu Zhen said the question that he had been entangled for a long time: "The sword spirit of Wanjian Villa was summoned by Tingxue, and after fighting the enemy together, it was contaminated with Tingxue's breath, resulting in not being able to return to the original sword body, and finally the sword body was used by Jiang San's sister, is this kind of thing?"
"Of course there is, didn't we all see a light falling from the sky at that time, helping Tingxue fight that monster together?" Ju Cailiang stood up and reminded.
"But is there really a sword spirit?" Xu Zhen muttered, "The sword has a spirit?"
The sword has a spirit?
Xu Zhen's question made Xu Heng laugh dumbly, he used to have this kind of doubt, but now, he is no longer entangled.
Reaching out and touching the hair of the girl in his arms, Xu Heng raised his head and said to Xu Zhen: "Whether the sword has a spirit or not, I can't tell you now, but if you can practice the sword hard, and if I admit it in the future, I will take you to Wanjian Villa, and let you go to Wanjian Villa to see if the sword has a spirit." ”
"Good!"
Xu Zhen replied vigorously, planting a heavy thought in his heart.
In the future, this idea blossomed in the young man's heart, and created a peerless swordsman on the rivers and lakes.
