After going back, Ning Yi endured the pain and wiped his body, Pei annoyed and distressed to clean up the wound for him, carefully applied herbs, and wrapped three circles of bandages on his body, especially his back and waist and abdomen, and tied them tightly.

Then Ning Yi fell asleep in the inn and slept all day.

The battle outside the bud grain pile, lifting the knife out of strength, chopping, fleeing, rushing, scene by scene, freeze frame Caton, constantly sweeping back in my mind.

In the nightmare, Ning Yi ran numbly, and the sides of his ears ...... Some people shouted, some people laughed wildly, he could only hold the knife and keep chopping, the blade was getting faster and faster, cutting people was like chopping wood, after the crunch sound, all the pain spurted out of the wound, blood spilled, staining the sight red.

In the end, Ning Yi stopped, raised his hands, and felt that his whole body was covered with blood.

"Whew, Whew......"

The moment I opened my eyes, a heavy gasp sounded, like falling into an abyss, falling on a bridge.

With a clang, he was shattered in his dreams.

When you wake up, you're in reality.

Ning Yi snorted in pain, he was naked, lying on the bed, the herbs and bandages that bound the wound were all wet with sweat, his mind was sour, as if he was in another world, and his limbs no longer had the slightest strength to move.

There is slight pressure in the chest.

He caught a glimpse of the girl's head lying on his chest undulating and snoring, her broken hair was scattered, and the hair was gently stirring at the tip of her nose, warm and beautiful.

Footage of murder...... It's just a dream.

Ning Yi didn't move, just lay quietly, enjoying the rare tranquility.

He turned his head sideways, looked at the dappled sunlight from the window, and thought to himself that he had slept all day, and it was already dusk the next day.

The girl slept deeply, and it seemed that she was very tired.

There was a slight sound of the door opening from outside the house, Ning Yi tried to sit up, and saw Xu Zang in a black robe, carrying a fine snow on his back, carrying a food box, putting away the wet yellow paper umbrella, and standing on the side of the door at will.

Pei Fu woke up, rubbed his eyes in a daze, sniffed his nose, and said, "It's so fragrant......"

"It's called flower chicken, stewed pig's trotters, braised beef, duck soup, pork buns......" Xu Zang piled four or five food boxes on the wooden table, the aroma was fragrant, he smiled and said: "Ning Yi, don't drool, this is for the girl, you only have to eat the buns." ”

Ning Yixin thought it was true and let out a long sigh.

Pei Fu immediately puffed up his cheeks and said angrily: "The surname is Xu, if you don't give Ning Yi food, I won't eat it." ”

Xu Zang smiled and said I don't dare, watched the two figures rushing over, hurriedly stepped aside, and sighed: "It's really ...... Fierce tigers pounce on food. ”

"It's delicious!" Ning Yi took a bite of the flower chicken, his eyes lit up, and he ripped off a chicken leg to Pei Fu.

The girl took a careful bite, her eyes lit up with stars, and said, "Wow...... It's so fragrant. ”

Xu Zang watched the young girl ignore her manners and gather around the table with wind and clouds, and felt a little different.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Alone, alone.

Now the poor boy of Xiling, who is followed behind his ass, doesn't seem to be so annoying.

In a way, the poor boy wasn't poor...... At least I have to rely on him to support myself.

Thinking of this, Xu Zang sighed.

He said faintly: "What did you call me that day in the bud grain pile?"

Ning Yi didn't raise his head and said, "Murderous maniac." ”

Xu Zang was silent and said, "It's not this." ”

Ning Yi was stunned.

"You said that Xu Zang is half of your master?" Xu Zang looked at Ning Yi and asked calmly, "Do you think I am your master?"

Ning Yi stopped tearing the chicken, and looked blankly at the man in the black robe, whose face was sad and joyless, and he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.

Zhou You wanted to accept himself as a disciple, but Xu Zang stopped him.

Xu Zang said that he wanted to teach himself a swordsmanship that fell from the sky.

Xu Zang also said that he would teach himself to kill.

On the day of the bud pile, has it already begun?

If it doesn't count...... So what is the relationship between himself and Xu Zang?

Ning Yi subconsciously chewed the shredded chicken meat, took a bite of the duck soup with oil flowers, grunted, and said solemnly: "You said you want to teach me to kill." ”

Xu Zang said: "Killing people is a very simple thing, and you have learned it yesterday. ”

"The weak are afraid of the strong, the strong are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal are afraid of the dead. Xu Zang looked at Ning Yi and said, "Killing people is a lifeless thing, you give up your life, you are more ruthless than everyone else, you can suppress them, and then kill them." ”

Ning Yi didn't know what to say.

"You've learned. ”

This is not the first time Ning Yi has heard this, he is not a stupid person, he knows what it means.

When he went to the blacksmith shop in Qingbai City to make a living, the blacksmith said to himself, the skill of striking iron...... You've learned not to stay in my shop.

But Ning Yi only stayed for one day, and he worked all day with the hammer and learned nothing.

He's a teenager who only knows how to give it his all.

There is no other choice.

It takes ten years to learn to strike iron.

It takes longer to kill.

Xu Zang's words were just perfunctory.

You've learned it, you don't need me to teach it...... In this case, in fact, it is a perfunctory.

Ning Yi wanted to say a lot, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he could only look at Xu Zang dryly, with some strange looks in his eyes, which became gray, and finally said jerkyly: "What do you mean...... Do you want to drive me away?"

Xu Zang frowned, not quite understanding what Ning Yi meant.

Doesn't that seem obvious to him?

The man with the fine snow on his back sat on the chair, looked at the boy strangely, and said with a long interval in between: "Of course...... No. ”

Ning Yi was a little confused.

"There are many kinds of killings. Xu Zang looked at Ning Yi and frowned: "People can kill, swords can kill, ants can kill, and lions can kill." What you've learned...... It's just the most superficial, the most straightforward, the murderous methods of the hooligans and scoundrels in the market, fighting fiercely, I want to teach you to kill, how can I teach you such low-level methods?"

"Strategists kill people, take the world as a chessboard, soldiers are bloodless, thousands of miles of floating soil, and blood drifts. ”

"If a swordsman kills someone, within three feet, the Son of Heaven can kill him. ”

"The reckless man was angry, blood splashed in five steps, killing the sky, killing the earth, killing the imperial power, and killing himself. ”

"Ants bite elephants to death, and the imperial power is afraid of civilians...... The world is fair, life and death are at both ends of the scale, and the action called 'killing' is not only a weight that affects the balance, but also an act that flips the scales. ”

"It's hard to live, but it's easy to die. Xu Zang said calmly: "Using the rules, ignoring the rules, this is the principle of all 'killing'." ”

Ning Yi listened to these words, stunned and surprised, sighed and silent, as if he saw the door of a new world slowly opening to him......

I never thought that there was so much attention to killing.

No wonder Xu Zang said that he can only kill, and he is very good at killing.

"The first time you kill someone, you should think about your performance yesterday and what you have to lose. ”

Ning Yi was silent for a moment.

He raised his head, looked at Xu Zang, and said seriously: "I should have killed the bandit leader first, no matter what, I can't be stabbed, if they are desperate, I am injured, drag it down, and the one who dies must be me...... Therefore I should first show weakness to the enemy and outwit them. ”

Xu Zang's face was unwavering, and he said, "Go on." ”

Ning Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't think about it either...... If I do it all over again, I will use the bone flute to kill people and grab the knife, and I can kill the bandit leader in the first place, and I should be able to continue fighting. ”

Xu Zang said: "Go a little deeper, think about the essential reason, you are only a little bit away." ”

Ning Yi gritted his teeth, and couldn't think of how to solve it after all.

"There are three, six, nine, and so on. The first three realms can't beat the middle three realms, the middle three realms can't beat the last three realms, and those who break through the ten realms can crush everyone below, and the means and weapons of killing can only make up for a small part of the gap....... The essential reason why you can't think of a solution is because you're too weak. Xu Zang's voice had a hint of a smile in his voice, and he said jokingly: "If I don't practice and put me in your place, I can only do this." ”

Ning Yi was silent.

Pei Fu suddenly muttered: "Then you said yesterday that if Ning Yi had been like you at the age of sixteen, you would have killed them all a long time ago." ”

Xu Zang smiled and said: "I learned swords from your father at the age of six, and I started killing people at the age of eight. ”

Pei Fu rolled his eyes, held the porcelain bowl in both hands, and continued to mumble silently and drink duck soup.

"Ning Yi...... I teach you to kill because I don't think I will live long, and it would be a pity if I didn't leave anything behind. Xu Zang suddenly said softly: "Remember, you and I don't have the reality of master and apprentice. ”

Ning Yi's heart moved, and after opening his lips, he stopped talking.

He thought to himself, it seems that Xu Zang doesn't want to have anything to do with him.

In the next second, the man carrying the fine snow on his back suddenly took off his long sword, rested it on his knee, and asked, "But are you willing to enter my Shu Mountain?"

The young man was stunned, and for a while, he didn't understand what Xu Zang meant.

"Within a month, I can keep you in the first realm. Xu Zang pressed his hands on both ends of the fine snow and said lightly: "The Purple Xuan Heart Method of the Taoist Sect is suitable for the cultivation of the first three realms, no matter how you choose, I will give you the exercises in the back." If you enter my Shu Mountain, Shu Mountain will not give you anything, but I Xu Zang will treat you as a very important relative...... Zhao Rui is dead, I will teach him everything, if I die one day, then this fine snow will be left to you. ”

At the end of the day, the man's words were soft.

Ning Yi was stunned for a moment.

Xu Zang was reluctant to accept himself as an apprentice.

Teach Zhao Rui ......

Zhao Rui...... Zhao Rui?

The man's hands were pressed against the black cloth, and some warm sweat oozed from his palms. After finishing speaking, he looked at Ning Yi with a solemn face, and asked solemnly, "You, are you willing?"

Ning Yi looked at the man in front of him and wanted to say it of course, but found that he was speechless.

He turned his head to look at Pei Fu again, and saw the girl nodding desperately to himself.

The boy took a deep breath and snorted heavily.

Xu Zang laughed, raised an arm, and slowly swept over a candle flame, two fingers twisted a wisp of flame, the fire swayed, and the wick flame danced in front of Ning Yi.

The walls are yellow, and the shadows are shaking.

Someone twisted the fire and stood up, pressed two fingers on the young man's forehead, extinguished the flames, and gave the gift of Shushan's apprenticeship.

Passing the torch from generation to generation.

Xu Zang smiled and muttered softly, "Zhao Rui...... I've got a cheap apprentice for you. ”
