Under the darkness of the night, the whole world fell silent.

Yiyang was lying on the bed, surrounded by sleeping frost. He stared blankly at the rooftop, unable to sleep. The empty tomb in the back mountain had been lingering in his mind, and he seemed to be able to see the cold wind raging on the grave......

In this way, he spent a sleepless night, and finally figured out something at dawn...... He came to the back mountain, bowed at the grave, and then carried the frost on his back to the villa on the other side of the mountain......

And at this moment, something is happening in a house somewhere in the villa......

"Yuncheng is the county seat of Yunjun, and the city lord is a descendant of the Bai family, at the border, countless women dream of marrying into Yuncheng, even if it is just a general and a cabinet minister in Yuncheng!" On the first seat on the left side of the main hall of the house sat a middle-aged man dressed as a bookkeeper, with a mustache, symmetrical eyebrows and eyes, no wrinkles on his clothes, and a very decent hat, very well-behaved, and a very well-behaved person...... He was drinking tea and talking to the girl standing in the center of the main hall.

He put the teacup away and continued: "What's more, now that Bai Hao, the only disciple of our White City Lord, Bai Hao Bai Gongzi, took the initiative to propose marriage, and Miss Ling'er directly refused, without giving a convincing reason, I can't say when I go back." ”

This Bai Huan was adopted by Bai Mei, the lord of Yuncheng City, seeing that his talent was extremely high, he accepted him as a disciple and taught each other, Bai Huan was just after the eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, and took the initiative to go to Xiaoyun Pass to practice, with hundreds of thieves in his hands, and he shined in the seventeenth encirclement and suppression not long ago, but he noticed Ling'er on the day when he finally exterminated the last remnant, and his brain was like a cramp and said that he fell in love with Ling'er at first sight.

Mr. Ledger is called Wu Jingyuan, is the general manager of the entire Yunjun statistical financial revenue and expenditure, in the early years he was a Mr. Ledger in the South, and has always dressed the same as Mr. Ledger, so he is called Wu Ledger, and he is very well-behaved, also called Wu Rules!

It was a great honor for Wu to come to the door in person, but today's proposal only said one sentence, "I don't agree!" and stood like this, very calm, so he looked indifferent!

Ling'er ignored him for a long time in Wu's account room, which inevitably made Wu Rules, who is a well-behaved person, want to lose his identity as a scholar in the south of the country if he doesn't follow the rules, and talk to the middle-aged man on the main seat with nothing to do...... Then he turned his head to stare at the man in the main seat.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly sat up straight and said to Ling'er: "Daughter, you quickly explain to Manager Wu." ”

Ling'er looked up and looked at the man...... The man looked at him with a pleading look in his eyes.

Helpless, she had no choice but to take a deep breath, try her best to absorb her emotions, and calmly saluted Wu's account room, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, the little girl really can't agree." Presumably, the manager should know that this encirclement and suppression of my Hidden Sword Villa has lost the most outstanding young man, who is my best and dearest friend, so I swore yesterday that if I don't completely exterminate the bandits in Xiaoyun Pass, I will never marry. ”

Wu Jiaofang also heard that the young man named Nangong Ying fell off two cliffs in order to save the girl in front of him, but he really didn't expect that this little girl would make such an oath, you know, if the people fleeing south continue, this thief will always be there, even if you pull out the roots, he will resurrect, so, is not the same as not marrying in this life?

He shook his head and sighed, "Could it be that Gongzi really has nothing to do with Ling'er girl?"

Ling'er saluted him again, and kept this posture all the time, making it difficult for Wu's account room.

He had to leave, and the girl did it very resolutely, saving a little face, but ...... He's already got a ticket for this.

Alas~

Sighing, he looked at the man in the main seat, ready to pin his hopes on the girl's father, but seeing this lazy appearance of being a father, he knew that there was no play!

Helpless, he had no choice but to stretch out his hand to signal Ling'er to be polite, and then said: "Since this is the case, it can only be said that Gongzi has nothing to do with Ling'er girl, so Jingyuan is not easy to bother, so I will leave!"

After speaking, he got up and left.

The man on the main seat instantly came to his senses, and said to Ling'er: "Send Manager Wu for my father." ”

"Yes!"

After speaking, Ling'er left with Wu's account.

............

Personally sent the Wu account room and the team to the mountain gate, Ling'er saluted the Wu account room and said: "Manager Wu, Ling'er can only be sent here, and Ling'er still has to cultivate, so he will not send it away." ”

Wu Ledger replied: "Okay, Miss Ling'er cultivates well, and I wish to fulfill my wish soon." ”

After saying that, he left on his own...... Ling'er watched as the backs of the group gradually became smaller until they disappeared, and a small white figure in the distance gradually grew larger.

"Yiyang?"

Yiyang was walking on the way to the mountain gate, and on the way, he met a group of people, carrying a lot of red boxes, led by a bookkeeper.

He consciously stood on the side of the road and waited for everyone to pass before moving on.

He walked quickly to the mountain gate, and saw Ling'er at the mountain gate from a distance, so he trotted over directly.

"Yiyang, is it really you, what's the matter with you coming here? You didn't want to come here before. Ling'er looked at him and asked, "Also, why have you been inseparable from Shuang'er?"

"I'm afraid I'll be hungry when I'm away, and I starved her yesterday. Yiyang explained, "Oh, by the way, I'm here to ask, murder...... What's the best weapon to use?"

"This ...... With a knife!"

Yiyang was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "I want to learn." ”

............

Ling'er took Yiyang to her home, and her father, Nangong Xiao, was leisurely drinking tea in his yard...... Seeing that Ling'er came back, he just said casually: "People sent away?"

"Well, Mr. Wu is a little unhappy. Ling'er said.

Nangong Xiao didn't care much, "If you're not happy, you're not happy, how happy can we be in our villa these days, haven't you bothered to see him if you haven't seen the owner?"

He took a sip of tea, put the teacup away, and said: "I said that this Bai Huan is also a brain cramp, I didn't see that Nangong Ying's death was a big blow to the villa? ”

He got up and saw that Ling'er was followed by a little boy, carrying a baby girl on his back and hanging a gourd, so he was a little curious: "Who is this little brother?"

"That's what I told you about Yiyang. ”

"Oh?" Nangong Xiao looked at Yiyang carefully and said, "The talent is good, and they are about to step into the spiritual realm." Is this going to be a martial arts cultivator?"

Maybe he had seen the talents of Nangong Ying and Ling'er, but Nangong Xiao didn't have much reaction to Yiyang.

"Yes, I want to learn martial arts, the days of the past few years have made me almost forget the original intention I wanted to cultivate at the beginning, because of the death of Brother Ying, I woke up and wasted three years of time, I want to learn martial arts, I want to level the bandits in Xiaoyun Pass. Ling'er was about to say yes, but Yiyang took the lead in answering.

Nangong squatted down, looked at Yiyang and said: "Little guy, you have to know that if you accept the martial arts of the villa, you will be a disciple of the villa, and you will have to do things for the villa in the future, which is different from watching the mountain and farming at the foot of the back mountain." ”

"I know, so I just want a carving knife, a knife to carve an iron tree, I used to have a collection of an iron tree trunk that is some years old, I make my own weapons, as for martial arts, my uncle is my master, he will teach me. ”

"Has the Great Elder accepted you as an apprentice?" Nangong was shocked when he heard this, obviously shocked, and said, "It seems that he still doesn't want to be an ordinary person like this, and wants you to replace him, you are very talented, and I almost ignored it just now." ”

"I can lend it to you, can you tell me what weapon you want to learn?" he paused, and added,

"Knives!"

"Good!"

......

At noon, Yiyang ate and fed Shuang'er, and then took out a piece of ironwood in the yard and started carpentry.

The iron tree is made of special materials, the adult is the same as steel, and Yiyang, this is a flowering iron tree, which is harder, so it needs a carving knife specially refined by the refiner to process it.

Half a month later, he made a knife, which was exactly the same as Nangong Ying's knife, and after Ling'er saw it, he was stunned for a moment and said, "It's perfect." ”

So, he carved a red mark on the body of the knife according to the birthmark on his left arm, named the knife "Ying", and also engraved the word "Ying" on it.

He picked it up and practiced, but not long after he started playing, a strange emotion came like a tide, a will that he hated - decisive, killing, cruel, ruthless, and inhumane!

His eyes became extremely cold, the same as when he killed the old man, the same as when he almost lost his humanity, and the same as when he stoned the refugees to death...... He's scared!

So he threw away the Shadow Knife and sat cross-legged on the stone, pranayama for a long time before he calmed down.

He picked up the shadow knife again, and then practiced, but it didn't take long for that will to appear again!

He had to throw away the Shadow Knife completely this time, but he was reluctant to do so, so he put the Shadow Knife in a box and put it in the deepest part of the stove. A short sword was made out of the remaining ironwood, which was also engraved with an imprint, and the word "Shadow" was written, and the name was Shadow Sword.

After Ling'er's surprise, he borrowed a book from her about the nine basic movements of swordsmanship.

This time I don't have that will!

Another day, before dawn, Yiyang came to the big rock early to meditate and gave up running.

When a ray of light came to the ravine from the horizon of the sky, Yiyang stopped meditating, and then began to take out the nine basic movements of swordsmanship given by Ling'er to practice......

PS: Hey, I'm sorry, a good day starts with a skin!
