Section 4: Shadowing

The next day, in the study, Shi Xian asked Mo Junyan to talk with him about a game to solve his worries.

Shi Xian loved Go when he was young, although he was not as crazy as Wei Zhenyan, but he was not far behind, otherwise with the heart of a chess saint, he might not be able to intersect with people in the court. Therefore, Shi Xian's chess skills are also high, and he can be on a par with Yang Muyun that day, slightly better than Mo Junyan. But this time, Shi Xian was restless, and his chess moves were sometimes impatient, and sometimes too conservative, and he was actually controlled by Mo Junyan.

Shi Xian hesitated, put down the chess pieces, and sighed. Mo Junyan knew that Shi Xian was upset, but he just wanted to use the chess game to get rid of it, but he wanted to fall deeper and deeper, and he couldn't extricate himself. He also felt quite frustrated, although it was not his fault that he had done before, but after all, it was his own reasons that embarrassed Shi Xian's father and son. He took a breath and apologized to Shi Xian: "Shi Shuai, it's all bad words. "He doesn't say much, but it's real and heartfelt.

Shi Xian was stunned for a moment, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "How can I blame you for this, since it has passed, I only hope that you can get along well......" "Shi Shuai ......" Shi Xian shook his head: "I didn't fulfill my duties as a father, and I didn't discipline him very much, once I ......" He suddenly thought of something, but didn't continue. "Huh. He laughed dryly, stood up, picked up the simple and heavy bronze sword on the table on the right, and looked at it quietly.

Mo Junyan also got up. Shi Xian looked at the sword and said slowly: "This sword, named Chengying, is said to be a long sword with a shadow and an invisible shape. In "Liezi Tangwen", this sword was cast in the Shang Dynasty and was rewarded by Liezi, and then it was collected by Kong Zhou, a patriot in the Spring and Autumn Period. He gently pulled out the Shadow Sword, and there was a blade.

"Actually, the shadow is not a shadow and an invisible, but a shadow in the form, and mortals only see its shadow but do not see its form, which is ignorance. Mo Junyan knew that Shi Xian was talking about himself, so he could only nod slightly.

Shi Xian said: "After the death of Kong Zhou, this sword was obtained by Qin Shi Huang, and then wandered to Huangjue Temple, becoming the treasure of the town temple, and Hongwu Taizu then used this sword to calm the world. Yongle Emperor Northern Expedition to Annam, the class teacher to capture the fox mountain, also used this sword inscription tablet to set up, the text said: 'Hanhai is the smelt, Tianshan is the sage. Sweep away the wind and dust, and clean the desert forever. ’…… Shi Moubei Imperial Tatar and Warat, who were given by the first emperor, got this sword. ”

"This sword is the glory of Shi, and it is also the glory of this sword, or it may make Shi achieve the defeat of his life......" Mo Junyan didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and muttered: "Victory and defeat?" He thought to himself: "Didn't Master say something similar?"

Shi Xian sighed, put the sword into the sheath, and handed it to Mo Junyan. Mo Junyan didn't think about it anymore, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good sword!"

"This sword is as sharp as clay, and it is indeed a good sword. Jun Yan, if you like it, take it. Shi Xian smiled. Mo Junyan hurriedly put Chengying on the table, shook his head and said, "No!"

Shi Xian asked: "Why not?" "This Chengying is the result of Shi Shuai's many years of military exploits, Jun Yan has no merit, and secondly, his martial arts are low, how can he use such a good sword?" Shi Xian Wan'er: "This is a mistake! The sword is owned by people, and the respect of the sword certainly has its own nature, if no one uses it, how is it different from scrap iron?" He ignored Mo Junyan's first sentence.

Mo Junyan said: "Having said that, but this sword is the treasure of Shi Shuai, how can Jun Yan take it for his own use?" Shi Xian smiled and said: "Put it here for me, it is useless, wouldn't it bury it?" Mo Junyan insisted on refusing.

Shi Xian reluctantly put the sword back. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he stared at the other sword on the table, he seemed to be relieved, and he seemed to be reluctant. Mo Junyan watched silently, but he didn't say a word, his heart was more emotional, and he was more worried about this court general, even if they had only known each other for a few days, even if they were many years apart, he was willing to pay for him. Is this the pride of a young man's friendship? Or is it a young man's personal affection? Perhaps, this kind of feeling can only be found when he is a teenager.

Shi Xian sighed, and finally took off the long sword that was as colored as ice and snow, and said with a smile: "Then this sword, you can always take it, right?" He seemed to have to give a sword to this young man, and he was as stubborn as a young man.

Before Mo Junyan could be excused, Shi Xian had already stuffed the sword into his hand and said: "This sword was cast by a certain person Shi, and the name of the sword is 'Shuanghua', although it is not as respected as Chengying, but it is also a good sword." Mo Junyan pulled out the frost sword, the blade was as sharp as snow, and the cold was amazing. Look at the scabbard again, the workmanship is exquisite, the silver is clear, elegant and clear.

Mo Junyan sighed secretly in his heart: "This sword, senior sister may like it......" He is intelligent, of course he knows that Shi Xian gave the sword, and he already has the intention of treating himself as a successor. He looked at Shi Xian and said, "But ......" "If you don't accept it, you won't give Shi someone face." "Shi Xianzheng said. Mo Junyan still had to say it, but after seeing Shi Xian's face, he didn't know how to say it.

Shi Xian said: "Jun Yan, go to the backyard, I will pass you the rest of the moves." Mo Junyan's eyes circled, he felt slightly sour, and immediately knelt down. Shi Xian hurriedly helped him up and said, "I know that Brother Yang Dao has given you a great favor, and you and I are still equal friends, I just hope that you can use this Shi clan grappler for the right path." As for why he passed on Mo Junyan's stunt, firstly, he had an inexplicable fondness for this young man, and secondly, he had different intentions, which was not for outsiders.

Since then, Shi Xian has passed on his martial arts in person whenever he has spare time, and sometimes he has colleagues looking for him, or talking about chess with Mo Junyan. Mo Junyan is also diligent, practicing on his own in the backyard in the morning or afternoon. Although Shi Qianzhong was unhappy, he did not come to look for trouble.

I don't know it's been more than a month. Although Mo Junyan has learned all the varied and changeable Shi clan's grapplers, the tricks and mysteries still need to be experienced before they can be known and used, and I really don't know how long and what month it will take to really learn. But he is open-minded by nature, and he wants to continue to practice in the future, and the deeper his kung fu is, the stronger his power will be, and he doesn't care about it.

Today, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't practiced his swordsmanship for many days, so he took the Shuanghua Sword and practiced the Thunder Swordsmanship taught by his master. Somehow, this exercise felt different from the past, and I felt a little familiar. Mo Junyan was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that he had been practicing continuously in recent days, and his internal and external skills were lean, and he had a new round of understanding when he regained his swordsmanship at this moment.

On this day, Shi Xian came back very late, and his face was gloomy, and he did not eat dinner, so he went back to the study. Mo Junyan was slightly surprised, but he didn't dare to ask more.

In the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep, so he strolled to the corridor, and happened to hear two people whispering in the room. One person said: "Hey, Lao Dai, have you heard, Lord Du Yu Shi Gao Panlong Gao has been arrested!" The old Dai said: "Yes, the rumors outside spread so fast, and the two adults Zhou Qiyuan and Zhou Shunchang were also sent to prison." Another man sighed, "I don't know what it is, arresting people everywhere." The old Dai said: "The arrest is all Donglin Party people, alas, the old man and this Donglin Party have a good relationship, I heard that they are still trying to protect the two in front of the emperor, but I am afraid of ......" The man hurriedly covered his mouth and said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense! The old man is the general of the imperial court Qinfeng Zhenshuo, who dares to touch him?" "Hey, that maybe, this year, anything can happen......" The two spoke softer and softer, and then the lights in the house went out, and the housekeeper Lao Dai walked out, thinking that he was going back to the room to sleep.

Mo Junyan heard it vaguely, and it seemed that he only heard one eastern character. He sighed softly. He doesn't know much about the people in the court, the country's major events, like that Gao Panlong, Erzhou, in the court is very famous, that day Gao Panlong sent people to invite Shi Xian to the hookah Xuexue, although Gao Panlong has resigned, but the name is highly respected, is an outstanding talent in the Donglin Party.

Mo Junyan walked slowly alone, thinking: "Shi Shuai must be in turmoil at the moment, what should I do?" Although he didn't know Gao, Zhou and others, but if he wanted to be able to intersect with Shi Xian, he must be a person of insight, and he already had a good impression in his heart and intended to make friends.

As he walked, he didn't realize that he had reached the door of Shi Xian's study. His heart moved, and he was about to knock on the door, but when he heard a sound outside the window of the room, a person sneered: "Hehe, Shi Xian Shi is handsome, how are you doing lately?" Mo Junyan was startled, and his raised hand was put down suddenly, Shi Xian returned alone, alone in the house, but there was one more person at the moment, and this person had a hoarse and weird accent, and he was definitely not a person from the general's mansion. He stared intently, only to hear Shi Xian reply, "TOEFL, it's fine." ”

The two of them stood quietly, and Mo Junyan held his breath outside the door, not daring to take a breath.

The man said: "I haven't seen you for many years, should you and I also talk about the old relationship?" Shi Xian said coldly: "What old thing can Shi say to you?" The man said: "Hmph, that's Shi Shuai and noble, and he looks down on him." He paused, and then smiled darkly: "It's just that it's also very interesting, you and I don't look down on each other, you fought against Mongolia in the north and became a general, after I came out of Montenegro, it was also a great achievement." Shi Xian intercepted: "Meritorious service? Hey, it's ridiculous." What's the difference between you and a watchdog?"

When the man heard this, he was furious: "Shi Xian! He paused, seemed to think of something, calmed down, and said, "Hmph, I'm not here to fight with you this time." Shi Xian smiled slightly and said, "Although Shi is stupid, he is not an unwise person. It's just that I didn't expect this day to come so quickly...... "In that case, is Shi Shuai going to go with him, or is he going to invite him next?"

Shi Xian said coldly: "Hmph, it's up to you?" Shi is still not in his eyes!" The man was not angry, and smiled: "Oh? What should I do?" Shi Xian said: "If you want to invite Shi, it is better to let him come in person!" The man said: "Hmph! Shi Xian, Shi Xian, you really toast and don't eat and drink!"

Shi Xian didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he suddenly made a move, his fist was strong, and he went straight to the door, the man had already expected it, took a step back, and slapped it with one palm. The two of them had a big fight in the room.

Mo Junyan was about to enter the house to help, but he heard the man in the house sneer: "The two phases are sandwiched, Shi Xian, I see how long you can go!"

Mo Junyan looked up, only to find that the two masked black-clothed men had already flown above the roof, and if they came down, they would be able to merge with the person in the house.

Suffering from the enemy on the back is a taboo for soldiers!
