I just took the punishment on my back, and the punishment was really uncomfortable. Walks slowly and wobbly. Try to practice the boxing style, crookedly like a child who has just learned to walk.

Even so, Xingzhen did not stop. There is another person in the cottage who knows the truth and is willing to tell the truth.

Xing Zhen first went to the big kitchen to get a jar of wine and brought his own small meat stove. Of course, don't forget to leave some silver, Xingzhen still won't take a penny from the cottage in vain.

The old man is blind all the year round, and all perception comes from his ears. After a long time of honing his hearing abnormality, he knew that the punishment was coming when he heard the footsteps.

Smiled and asked, "What's wrong today, the footsteps are a lot heavier than usual." ”

Xing Zhen was sloppy: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm a little uncomfortable today, my feet are not light or heavy, I don't need to worry about the old man." ”

The old man liked this little guy who often came to listen to stories, so he didn't think too much about it.

"Today's cottage is very quiet, where have the people gone?. ”

Xing Zhen replied: "I went out hunting, I was too small and weak, so I was not taken." I am especially curious about your story and want to continue listening to the legend of this woman. ”

The young man has been confessing in his heart: "Don't see my mother, I'm afraid that Guan Lao won't tell me the secret if I announce my identity." This is the only time, and it will never happen again. ”

Guan Lao Tu smashed his mouth: "Oh, oh, no wonder, it's Chinese New Year's Eve soon." Fight more mountain treasures to come back. ”

Then the old man snorted: "The boy has brought something delicious? and wine." ”

Xing Zhen smiled: "There are yes, there are good things to eat and drink." Today, the kitchen improved the food, and first brought some to Guan Lao. ”

The old man didn't think much about it, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, well, eat and drink enough to have the strength to tell the story." Come on, help me up first, and take a few sips. ”

Xing Zhen helped the old man Guan up, leaned on the head of the bed, and said with a smile: "There is Lao Guan Lao who has been telling stories for Xing Zhen these days, and today I will feed you." “

The young man was naturally happy to honor the old man: "Okay, good, the old man will enjoy it once today." ”

After taking a sip of white wine, moistening his throat, the old man asked, "You are your surname, and he is also surnamed Xing, what a fate." “

"It's a pity that it's not a punishment, think about the master's child, now it's as old as you. ”

Speaking of this, the old man sighed dejectedly: "It's a pity that Nanliang is too far away, and my old arms and legs can't run once." Otherwise, you must go to see if the owner and the child are suffering in Nanliang. ”

Xing Zhen comforted: "Don't worry, the person you said will definitely grow up healthily." ”

Guan Lao nodded vigorously: "Then it is needless to say, the master will definitely take good care of his children." Whoever dares to treat him badly, dare to let me know, see that I don't discount his doglegs. ”

"Hmph, these old guys in the cottage refuse to take me to Nanliang for a trip. ”

The rice handed out by Xing Zhen paused slightly, and he carefully looked at the blind and disabled old man in front of him. A kind of admiration and respect spread silently in the bottom of my heart.

The old man sensed that something was wrong: "Boy, what do you think?" I've been waiting for my mouth for a long time. ”

Xing Zhen was slightly stunned: "Don't worry, I'll be here soon." You are such a good old man, can I call you grandpa in the future? ”

The old man immediately smiled: "Of course you can, old man, I have no children or daughters under my knees, and I wish there was a child who listened to me tell stories every day." As long as you don't get bored, the old man will tell you every day. ”

Xing Zhen wiped his eyes: "Okay, Xing Zhen comes to listen to grandpa tell stories every day." ”

If it weren't for the old man's lack of eyeballs, I'm afraid he would have been in tears by now. Trembling raised his palm, as if looking for something.

Xing Zhen put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, moved his hands to the back of the old man's hand, and slowly approached his face.

The old man was shocked: "It's true, it's true." ”

Xing Zhen said vaguely: "Don't think too much about it, eat more and drink more while the food is still hot." Powerful to tell a good story. ”

When it comes to storytelling, the old man Guan is full of interest: "What story do you want to hear today?"

Xing Zhen replied: "Just listen to the story of the woman in white and heavy sword." ”

Uh, after a few burps, the old man touched his belly: "I'm full of food and drink, I eat a lot today, and I will tell a lot of stories." ”

Xing Zhen replied: "Listen up." “

"Okay, I'll tell you about the most powerful and sad time I've ever seen my master.

"The surrounding cities have rebelled one after another, and the former allies have become enemies. The troops were divided into six routes and besieged us. The host led us to fight alone and defend Nanliang City. Without food, they went out of the city to plunder the enemy's horses, and in the end, the enemy actually withdrew all the cavalry. ”

"The enemy has assembled an army of a million, and the master leads 300,000 defenders. Persist for a year, and resist the enemy's deduction countless times. ”

"The master led an army of 300,000 and slew millions of enemies. However, the enemy is still in the millions, and there is a steady stream of additional troops, and the number of troops is increasing. The soldiers are strong, the horses are strong, the food and grass are abundant, and they are sworn to annihilate us to the death. ”

"The master is resourceful and uses suspicious soldiers to scare back all the way. Order something to persuade the army to retreat in two ways. There are two ways that the master has figured out the truth and reality, but it is just to make a show. Blocked with 1,000 elite soldiers. ”

"The grain and grass have been cut off, and the master led 50,000 soldiers out of the city to meet the main enemy army. 50,000 against 800,000. ”

"Before going out of the city, the master stood at the head of the wall. Look at the remaining 50,000 troops. Gujing Wubo told everyone that all soldiers have the full strength to choose to survive. Stay in the city and wait to be an ambush, but there is a chance to live. Going out of the city to face the unpredictable life and death is completely voluntary, and it is never forced. ”

As a result, none of the 50,000 soldiers flinched, shouting and swearing to follow the governor. The officers and soldiers rushed out as if they had drunk chicken blood. “

"That day, I drank the most beautiful wine in my life, and plucked up the strongest courage in my life. The same is true of the 50,000 soldiers, their bowls crackling and falling to the ground, and the aroma of spirits in the air. ”

"The master rode a tall white horse, dressed in white, and stood in the middle of the two armies. Looking at that posture, it was like fighting an army of 800,000 by one person. “

"Actually, it's not impossible to think about it, if the other party doesn't have enough martial artists and divine cultivators. I believe that the master has the strength to fight 800,000 ordinary sergeants alone. ”

I saw the master sitting quietly on a white high-headed horse, and the black heavy sword behind him suddenly flew up, and the eye-piercing kung fu disappeared. ”

"Not long after, when the heavy sword came back, there was the head of the enemy marshal on it, and you said that it was not domineering. ”

Xing Zhen silently stroked the punishment behind him.

"The master ordered the three armies at the right time, and the 50,000 troops were instantly ignited. The shouts of rushing and killing were louder than the thunder of the sky. “

"Don't look at the lack of people, an army of 50,000 is pressing 800,000 fights. It didn't take long to kill more than 100,000 of their officers and soldiers. Of course, we also lost more than 10,000. Flesh and blood littered the ground, like hell on earth. ”

The old man was gloomy: "My legs and eyes were also injured in this war. But compared to those old brothers who lost their lives, it is not worth mentioning. ”

Immediately, the old man looked extremely nervous, his hands were clenched into fists, the muscles around his body trembled, and he scolded angrily.

"Damn the enemy army, a group of divine cultivators and martial artists appeared in Wuyang. Instantly surrounded the mountain people of our army, it was like the sea hitting the reef, and in the blink of an eye, it was drowned,"

"The most infuriating thing is that the master, a weak woman, was besieged by six flying swords and intercepted by nine gold-armored wrestlers. The master's side was sometimes lightning and thunder, and sometimes the fire was fierce. ”

"The master's might is not comparable to them, one man and one sword alone against the enemy. At first, the thunder could not be within one zhang of the master, let alone the flames, which were extinguished by themselves two zhang away. “

The master swung his heavy sword, and a sword slashed out a flying sword and shattered, and another sword slashed horizontally, and the golden armor wrestler turned into pieces on the spot. ”

A cloud of black matter approached the master, and I saw the long sword sweeping, and the black disappeared in an instant. ”

Xing Zhen interrupted and asked, "What is black?"

Old man Guan shook his head and said indignantly: "My strength is too low, and I don't have the opportunity to touch those things." ”

"The master himself is fearless, and he is fully capable of killing an army of 800,000 and fleeing on his own. It's a pity that the host didn't do that. ”

"Kill the cultivators and warriors who besiege you, and ride a tall white horse into the tide of monks. It is said that this tall white horse is by no means ordinary, and it is not weaker than the speed of a flying sword when it runs. ”

"The white horse is swift and domineering, killing a group of monks, and suddenly flesh and blood fly, it is difficult for anyone to be the enemy of the heavy sword. “

"It's a pity that the master is too weak to kill all the enemy monks. Later, a very ordinary old man appeared among the enemy monks, who could actually fight on a par with his master. “

"Then the enemy monks joined forces and killed the high-headed white horse under siege. ”

The more the old man spoke, the quieter his voice became, with remorse: "It's a pity, I only saw the white horse being killed, and then he was seriously injured, his eyes and legs were broken, and I can no longer see the demeanor of my master." ”

"I heard that the master had a hard time and is still stationed in Nanliang. ”

Xing Zhen couldn't wait to ask: "Grandpa Guan, do you know who the old man who is on par with the heavy sword woman is?"

The old man shook his head: "I don't know, in the end, I still don't have enough strength and can't contact too much." ”

Suddenly, the cold wind outside blew up, and the doors and windows were opened. The cold poured into the wooden house, and the sheets were popping.

The old man's ears trembled slightly, and his old arm quickly poked out. grabbed Xing Zhen and asked solemnly: "What is your back, there is a sound of a sword." ”

Without waiting for Xingzhen to refute, the old man's strength was terrifying, and he easily brought Xingzhen closer to him.

The boy didn't even see when the old man made a move, but he felt an old palm covering the hilt of the sword exposed behind his back.

Guan Lao trembled his hands and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. Keep repeating: "That's right, it's him, you say, who are you? Where are you from? Don't lie to me, I'm blind." ”

Seeing that the punishment could not be concealed, he said it one by one. Finally, he said sincerely: "Grandpa Guan, I didn't mean to lie to you, I just wanted to know more about my mother's past." Please don't blame me for lying. ”

The old man seemed to cry rather than cry and laugh, or maybe crying mixed with laughter. Symbolically wiped his eyes.

"How can I blame you, it's too late to be happy. Come over here and give me a good touch. ”

Xing Zhen sat quietly on the bed, and the old man gently stroked it. The old man didn't speak, he was deep in distant memories.

After a long time, the old man made an inaudible voice: "I'm tired, let's stop here today." I'm tired, you can go back first. “

Xing Zhen was silent and said, "Okay." After reluctantly closing the doors and windows, he left alone.

When I heard the figure of the young man in the distance, the old man returned to the light. With all his strength, his legs, which were unable to move, slowly bent.

Slowly falling to the ground, the sharp pain in his legs stimulated the old man's forehead with beads of sweat. Gritted his teeth and fell to his knees with a pop.

The old man's face was almost distorted, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching. The two leg bones were as if they had been broken from scratch, and the pain tormented the old man.

The old man didn't care about it, gritted his teeth and slowly fell to the ground. looked excitedly at the direction of Xing Zhen's departure, and his smile seemed to smooth out the criss-crossing walk.

"Old man Pang, old man Yang, you deceived me so hard, and the master's sword will not leave his body. Now the sword is not there, and the master is more than lucky. “

The old man knelt down and walked in the direction of Xing Zhen's departure: "Feng Yu Jun Yu Zi Battalion Horse Pawn Guan Zheng, meet the young master. ”

The old man didn't cherish what little strength he had left, and his voice grew higher and higher.

"Dragging the stump can still see the young master, three lives are fortunate, three lives are lucky. Just offended and stroked the young master's face, and asked the young master to call the old slave grandpa. It is a heinous crime, please punish the master, and die without regrets. ”

"Guan Zheng is willing to follow the master but but. ”

With the last of his strength, he finished what he wanted to say for the rest of his life. The figure kneeling on the ground froze and did not move for a long time.

Veteran Guan Zheng died at the age of 79.
