Daxi Changru walked to Li Xian's black horse and looked at it carefully, becoming more and more curious about this black horse that didn't look very special. On the surface, this black horse does not look taller and majestic than the other horses, and it is impossible to see anything about the magic horse with the skill of Soma. But I don't know why, the war horses of the blood cavalry always look very cramped in front of the black horse, whether it is eating grass or drinking water, when the black horse walks over, the other war horses will lower their heads and spontaneously get out of the way.

Daxi Changru couldn't see anything, and Li Xian couldn't answer his question. Li Xian only knew that this horse was specially purchased by Zhang Zhongjian from dozens of foals in the depths of the grassland, and then bought it for Li Xian. Daxi Changru has been riding a horse for so many years, and he thinks that he still knows a little about the art of horses. So every time he sees a dark horse, he can't help but ask, is Zhang Zhongjian a lot stronger than himself? Li Xian didn't know because Zhang Zhongjian didn't tell him that this unremarkable black horse was indeed selected from dozens of foals, but it was selected from the stables of the Turkic royal family among dozens of the most valuable breeds. Of course, Zhang Zhongjian was not bought, but stolen.

Patting the black horse's neck, Daxi Changru walked towards Li Xian, who was practicing knives.

Strange teenagers, strange horses.

Li Xian has been practicing chopping wooden sticks for more than five months, and Daxi Changru has not asked Li Xian what he has experienced, because he knows that there is no bullshit and unfathomable trick in the practice of this basic skill, and all that is needed is perseverance.

The boy turned his back to him and kept swinging his knife and slashing down.

Daxi Changru walked over and wanted to pat the young man on the shoulder and said that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, don't worry. But as soon as his mouth opened, it began to grow uncontrollably and gradually. Then he was surprised that he could put an egg in his mouth, and his eyes widened like a pair of cow eggs.

Li Xian stood in front of a flat stone with twenty or thirty small wooden sticks placed on it. Li Xian slashed down one by one, and the wooden stick was split and jumped to the side gently. Obviously, Li Xian can't do it to the point where the wooden stick is split without being shaken like Daxi Changru. But what shocked Daxi Changru beyond comprehension was that Li Xian took out the knife extremely quickly, and there was no other sound for each knife except for the sound of the wind breaking through the air!

Not every knife was cut at the stone!

In the past five months, Daxi Changru has made several trips to the far door, and he has not paid attention to Li Xian's knife practice, although he has hit the young man, but he clearly knows that the young man still has a certain talent for swordsmanship, and he has perseverance and great perseverance, so there is no need for Daxi Changru to urge him. But Daxi Changru never thought that that young man would reach such a point in less than half a year!

The knife is like a falling rainbow, and each knife is a straight line, and there is no deviation halfway.

The young man held the knife in both hands, and slashed down as fast as the wind. The small wooden stick jumped and separated, sometimes knocking the wooden stick next to it away, but Li Xian's knife also immediately adjusted, changing direction with the jump of the wooden stick. This is more difficult, just like the difference between a target, a moving target, and a fixed target.

Daxi Changru slowly closed his mouth, and then a smile gradually rippled on his face. He told Li Xian more than five months ago that there is no shit genius in this world. But now Daxi Changru has to admit that Li Xian is the genius of that kind of shit, and he is fucking the biggest piece of shit!

"I think it's time for me to teach you something more useful."

He raised his hand and gently patted Li Xian's slightly immature shoulder: "As a teacher, I have to admit it, An Zhi ...... You are indeed a genius. ”

Li Xian turned around and showed a sunny smile: "Master said that there is no genius in this world, this sentence is true, if you don't work hard, genius will become shit." ”

Daxi Changru laughed, and he stood beside Li Xian with his hands in his hands. Two people, one big and one small, stood side by side on the hillside and looked down at the foot of the mountain, and the two shadows, one long and one short, dragged out by the sun, looked so similar. The leaves were blown by the wind, and the long hair of the two men was gently stirred by the wind. The small wooden stick that was broken off from the stone was blown down by the wind, and another happened to be blown off by the wind and struck the horizontal knife standing on the side, making a crisp and cheerful moan.

"Master, you've been out again recently?"

Two men, one older and one small, walked back down the hillside, and smoke was already rising from the camp in the distance.

"Well, I went to Qingniu Lake a few times and tried to find the meteorite that sank to the bottom of the lake."

"Found it?"

"Nope."

Daxi Changru looked at Li Xian's eyes with a faint sense of loss, and comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, before leaving, I will definitely give you a straight knife that is unique in the world." ”

Li Xian looked at Daxi Changru and said seriously: "The weather is cold. ”

Daxi Changru didn't understand what Li Xian wanted to express, he just nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, it's going to snow again." ”

Li Xian said: "I remember that Master said that it is more than 200 miles from here to Qingniu Lake, and 500 miles back and forth. Master, you have been there five times in half a year. I remember Master said that the water of Qingniu Lake is cold and biting, and even in summer, it will exude a cool air. In half a year, you've gone down to that lake five times. ”

He said seriously: "It's cold, don't go again." ”

Daxi Changru's heart warmed, he smiled with relief, for the first time, he reached out and rubbed Li Xian's hair dotingly, and rubbed Li Xian's long hair that made girls jealous. He laughed heartily, louder and louder. For the first time since leaving Honghua, he smiled so comfortably. For the first time, I felt that the haze in my heart was quietly torn apart by a meter of sunlight. It's a very comfortable feeling, so comfortable that you want to shout.

"Whether you're a sycophant or sincere, I'm very happy!"

Daxi Changru said with a bright smile: "After the spring is warm next year, I will take you to Qingniu Lake together." Zhang Zhongjian said that you are a lucky little guy. Maybe, I can't find it, you will. ”

"So...... What are you going to teach me before next year's spring warms? ”

Li Xian pursed his lips and asked with a smile.

Daxi Changru thought for a while and said: "It's still the basic skills, your hand is now quite stable, and the strength of the knife is barely passed." But it's not enough, it's not enough. Ann ...... There's no denying that you're making rapid progress, but remember one thing you can't be proud of. Once that emotion arises in your heart, you are not far from falling. ”

Li Xian nodded and said, "I know that humility makes people progress, and pride makes people lag behind. ”

He said solemnly: "Be humble, people can improve, let alone me?" ”

Daxi Changru didn't hear his boring words, and said as he walked: "Tomorrow I will start collecting small things such as pine nuts and hazelnuts, you can use them for practice." ”

Li Xian hummed and asked, "Why do you have to be those things?" Isn't it okay to have pebbles or something? ”

"No way!"

"Master, can you give me a reason?"

Li Xian asked very impolitely.

Daxi Changru said seriously: "Anzhi, those things are not only cut for you, but also eaten." You go and collect, I can teach you while eating. ”

Li Xian quietly poked out his middle finger in his sleeve: "I knew it was like this." ”

After dinner, Li Xian waited for the food in his stomach to be almost digested and then went outside again, trotted a few laps in the cold north wind, and then beat a few times according to the boxing routines taught him by Zhang Zhongjian, and after his body was already moving, he took off his clothes and began to take a bath with cold water. On such a cold night, such a terrible wind blowing on the body is already like a knife, and then pouring cold water, the biting feeling can be imagined. But Li Xian only began to tremble for a while before regaining his composure, which he had been doing for half a year, and now it had become a habit. The temperature was gradually decreasing, and his body was gradually adapting to the temperature.

The water began to freeze on his body, and the thin silk of ice stuck to the flesh hurt a little.

While taking a bath, Li Xian howled at the top of his throat: "I am a wolf from the north...... Walking in the wilderness where no one is ...... Sister, you boldly go forward, don't look back! I want to love when I die, I don't want to be happy if I don't drip....... I'm a little bird, I want to fly...... You will definitely be able to fly high! ”

After a very inhuman masochistic experience, Li Xian wrapped up his clothes and returned to his room. The brazier in the house was newly charcoaled, and Li Xian knew that it must have been to ask for songs or iron wolves. It definitely won't be Dugu Ruizhi, that guy holds a bunch of herbs every time he comes, so he won't remember to take care of his "child".

Set up a small iron kettle on the charcoal fire, Li Xian waited for the water to boil, and his mind could not suppress the old nun who was dying again, the brothers of Tiefutu who died tragically when they were out of Daxing City that day, the bloody battle after being surrounded by Sui soldiers when they were in Jiangnan, the bloody body of Chen Qi'er, and the big bear brother who was shot as a hedgehog in order to cover Chen Qi'er.

He hated the damned old nun, but he was already dead, but he couldn't help but be grateful to her.

Without her, she wouldn't have been hunted down again and again since she couldn't speak. Without her, he might have frozen to death in the snow.

Should I hate, or should I be grateful?

Li Xian's eyes were clear, because he knew what to do.

Just as he was in a daze, the door was slammed open. With a gust of wind, Dugu Ruizhi came in with a bunch of messy things.

"Is the water boiling?"

Dugu Ruizhi shuddered.

"The water is boiling, but there is only a small tea brick."

Dugu Ruizhi said indifferently: "That's your business, I said, you want me to teach you to use poison is no problem, but you have to do this kind of thing like serving tea and water." Although I don't plan to take a slacker like you as an apprentice, you should also show some respect when you are learning. Your tea is gone, you can go to your genuine master to ask for it. ”

Putting down the things in his arms, Dugu Ruizhi asked, "It's enough for me to drink today." ”

"Enough!"

"Then I'll teach you another day today, and if there is no tea tomorrow, you will definitely not come."

"Isn't it a drinker?"

"Okay! Do you have a lot of wine? ”

Dugu Ruizhi put the bottles and cans in place and asked, "Why didn't I see it?" ”

Li Xian smiled happily: "There is only one bag of wine, but I have a lot of water, a bag of wine, and 10,000 catties of water, no problem, right?" ”

Dugu Ruizhi glared at Li Xian and asked, "That's still called wine?" ”

Li Xian asked rhetorically: "If you drop a drop of pure vermilion into the weak Luo water, is it still not poison?" ”

"Naturally."

"So, I poured a bag of wine into 10,000 catties of water, and it was still wine."

Li Xian sat down, because he had no tools to make tea, he could only make tea, and he couldn't make tea, so he handed the brewed tea to Dugu Ruizhi: "Little poison brother, what are you learning today?" ”

Dugu Ruizhi took a sip of tea comfortably: "It's still Zhu Yanhong." ”

"Why? Yesterday, you were talking about Zhu Yanhong. ”

Dugu Ruizhi asked seriously: "Is Zhu Yanhong poisonous?" It must be, if I talk about one day, it's poison, and if I talk about ten thousand days, isn't it poison? I only promised you to teach you some poisonous knowledge every day, and I didn't say that I would change my tricks to please you every day, right? ”

Li Xian sighed and said, "Why are you so shameless? ”

Dugu Ruizhi: "I taught you to use poison, but shamelessness was taught to me." ”
