Unknowingly, Ji Ruo has been living in this small courtyard for more than ten days, and in these more than ten days of life, Ji Ruoxue has also felt unprecedented ease and comfort.

And this time, under the old man's hands-on teaching, she really learned to make beds, fold quilts, wash dishes, and not cook...... Yes, she still hasn't learned to cook, not because she doesn't want to learn, but because the old man taught her by hand once, after seeing the cooked food, decided that she only needs to wash the dishes, after all, food is closely related to human life, not to mention whether it is unpalatable or not, the key is to eat the immortal first, and her craft? In the words of the old man, before seeing her cook, the old man never said that he had seen it, and he never even imagined that it was true that the fish could be cooked alive, the chicken legs could really be like black charcoal, and the rice could be cooked without water...... There are too many like this, so that the old man feels that if he continues like this, he is only afraid that he will doubt the world, so although Ji Ruoxue is actually the most interested in cooking in these household chores, the old man said that he would not let her cook anymore. But in addition to cooking, the two of them still get along more happily in other aspects, the old man will make three meals a day on time every day, Ji Ruoxue will scrub the pots and pans clean after eating, and then cook a pot of hot tea, and the two sit around the stove to drink tea and talk...... It is very strange that although there is a huge age difference between the two, there is no generation gap in communication between them, mainly because the old man is more powerful, no matter what topic Ji Ruoxue proposes, the old man can pick it up. In Ji Ruoxue's impression, the old man really seemed to be as omnipotent as the legendary immortals.

In addition to abandoning these daily trivialities, there is another thing that is also very important, that is, the old man said that he wanted to supervise her sword practice that day, not just talking, but really putting it into practice.

At dawn every day, Ji Ruoxue had to get up to practice her sword, and the hard work was naturally a little hard, but Ji Ruoxue never complained, nor did she push it down, and she would appear in the yard on time every day. On the one hand, it was because she had promised the old man, and on the other hand, she also realized the importance of being strong, taking this escape as an example, if she cultivated higher than those two senior brothers, how could she be so troublesome, and even owed a favor in order to get rid of those two senior brothers? …… Therefore, under the influence of various factors, Ji Ruoxue's sword practice this time is also really practicing, although the old man has let her practice the most basic things for the past ten days, she is also doing it very seriously.

……

Ji Ruoxue stood in the courtyard, holding a bamboo pole in her hand, and a green brick was pendant with hemp rope at the top of the bamboo pole, she had been maintaining this action for an hour, if she hadn't been using her own true yuan to resist the cold, I was afraid that she would have been frozen at this time.

However, the benefits of her doing so are also obvious, at least she has gone from the beginning of her daily practice to her current weightlifting.

Ji Ruoxue stood motionless in the courtyard, her arm was parallel to the bamboo pole, and her eyes were also swept over the bamboo pole with her arm, but she didn't know where she ended up?

With a "snap", the green bricks tied to the top of the bamboo pole split apart, but Ji Ruoxue remained motionless, and even the hand holding the bamboo pole did not shake at all.

The old man leaning on the door frame of the kitchen saw Ji Ruoxue's appearance, nodded slightly, and then the old man pointed at the bamboo pole like a sword, and with a "snap", the bamboo pole was broken into two sections, and the break of the bamboo pole was actually broken at the finger outside the hand where Ji Ruoxue held the bamboo pole, but even so, Ji Ruoxue was still motionless, and she still held that small section of the bamboo pole in her hand...... This time, the old man seemed to feel very satisfied, knocked lightly on the door, and said to Ji Ruoxue: "That's all here today, let's have breakfast first!" ”

Hearing the old man shouting for dinner, Ji Ruoxue's whole body finally relaxed, and after throwing away a small bamboo pole in her hand, she ran to the old man's side and asked excitedly, "Old man, how did you do it just now?" ”

The old man looked at her dotingly and said, "Let's have breakfast first!" ”

Ji Ruoxue, who was still excited and was waiting for the old man to answer the question, became even more excited after hearing the words "eat breakfast", and asked, "Old man, what did you do delicious today?" ”

"Have you ever eaten the red oil soup noodle slices?" The old man asked with a smile.

"I really haven't eaten it, it seems that Xue'er has another taste today." Ji Ruoxue laughed.

"You are a clever ghost, and you know every day that you can pick good words to make the old man happy, in fact, you don't want the old man to change the way to make you happy." The old man said with a smile.

"Hee-hee"

Ji Ruoxue smiled: "You have seen through it by the old man." ”

"Let's go wash our hands and eat!" The old man said to Ji Ruoxue, turned around and walked into the kitchen.

After Ji Ruoxue finished washing, the old man also happened to come out with two slices of red oil soup noodles.

I have to say that the red oil soup noodles made by the old man look very attractive, the milky white coarse porcelain bowl floats a layer of translucent red oil, and the snow-white noodles that are two fingers wide loom under the red oil, and there are some unknown minced meat on top......

"It's so fragrant, old man, your cooking skills are too good, right?" Ji Ruoxue looked at the red oil soup noodle slices in front of her and praised the old man.

When the old man heard this, he looked even more proud, and said in a conspicuous manner: "What is this? The old man, the golden silk steamed bun I made is called a fragrant, and I'll make you that ...... for breakfast tomorrow."

"Is this true? Cher is going to have a good mouth again. Ji Ruoxue said excitedly.

"How do I feel like I'm being tricked by you again?" The old man said helplessly.

"I don't have a trick on you! This is all old man, you said it yourself, right? You said you were going to make golden silk steamed buns for Xue'er tomorrow morning......" Ji Ruoxue said with a smile on her face.

"Even if I said it!"

The old man smiled and said, "Let's eat!" If you don't eat it quickly, the noodles will be cold. ”

"Hmm." Ji Ruoxue responded and began to bury her head in eating noodles.

……

After the two of them finished eating the noodles and Ji Ruoxue washed the noodle bowls, Chu Yang slowly climbed up the branches.

The old man looked at Ji Ruoxue and said with a relieved face: "From today onwards, you don't need to practice lifting bamboo poles every day, and your wrist strength is almost practiced now, and you can hold the sword well." ”

The old man looked at Ji Ruoxue and asked, "What is a sword in your understanding?" ”

Ji Ruoxue thought about it seriously and said, "Master told me before that a sword is a murder weapon, and swordsmanship is a murder trick. ”

"Your master is right, the sword is the murder weapon." The old man nodded, agreeing with Ji Ruoxue's words.

Then he continued: "Your master can tell you about swords like this, which shows that he has indeed made achievements in the art of swordsmanship, at least much stronger than those literati and ink writers. ”

"Hmmm! Master is a master of kendo. Ji Ruoxue replied affirmatively.

She didn't tell the old man that her master was a Dao Sword Immortal, one of the four great sword immortals, because she was afraid that the old man would become embarrassed after telling the old man...... Oh, yes! Although you have some ability, in terms of sword use, who dares to claim to be able to defeat the four great sword immortals?

After hearing Ji Ruoxue say that her master was a kendo master, the old man did not inquire about his master's origin, but continued: "How do you think the sword should be used? ”

"Shouldn't the way the sword be wielded in a variety of ways? It can be split, it can be cut, it can be teased, it can be ......stabbed," Ji Ruoxue said slowly.

"Well, you're right, the way to use the sword is indeed diverse." The old man nodded and continued, "It seems that you have a deep understanding of the sword, in that case, I don't need to explain these ...... to you."

"These are all things that Master told me, not what I came up with." Ji Ruoxue explained.

Hearing this, the old man looked at Ji Ruoxue approvingly, and said, "It doesn't matter, whether it's what your master told you or what you think?" You can remember that these are yours. ”

After thinking for a while, the old man said: "I think your personality is still too jumpy, I'm afraid that when you practiced swords before, you were all stealing and playing tricks, and you didn't pay attention to it, if it wasn't for the slack before, I'm afraid that your swordsmanship is already more than that."

"Old man, you know me so well." Ji Ruoxue said embarrassedly.

"However, I still have to tell you that the "sword" is one of the profound and profound, if you are still as before, not only will the swordsmanship not improve, but I am afraid that all the efforts made these days will be in vain, so you still have to be patient...... And this is not just one sword, but also everything else. The old man said bitterly.

"Well, what the old man said is very true, Xue'er should keep it in mind." Ji Ruoxue nodded in response.

"Did you really write it down?" The old man asked again.

"Well, Xue'er can promise the old man that if Xue'er can't do it, Xue'er will be punished for not eating...... You should be relieved of this old man, right? You must know that if you can't eat the food you cook, it will be the biggest torture for Cher......"

The old man smiled and said, "This is what you promised me!" When I ask you to do those boring things tomorrow, you are not allowed to be perfunctory, let alone play Lai Piha, but I will firmly remember what you said today! ”

"Old man......" Ji Ruoxue shouted

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"How do I feel that when you say this, old man, it looks like I praise you for your delicious cooking!" Ji Ruoxue continued.

"Haha...... Who's to say it isn't? I learned this from you after staying with you for a long time, and now you have to admit that you used to deliberately compliment me! ”

"Haha, isn't it?" Ji Ruoxue laughed.
