Chapter 31: The Aftermath

Although I was surprised that the senior in the room could reveal the identities of the two of them in one word, Li Xi still went in, after all, this is a hidden master, if he didn't dare to see him in front of the door, wouldn't he miss it in vain, and he didn't do anything wrong, and what he didn't dare to see, but having said that, Li Xi was still a little nervous, Li Shu reached out and took Shao Huan's hand, and found that Shao Huan was more nervous than himself. The two of them just lifted each other and walked in at the same time.

After entering the door, Li Xi found that Xiaojing was hugging an old man's thigh and coquettish, and the old man was also looking down at Xiaojing with a loving face, just like looking at his own children and grandchildren. At this time, Xiaojing took out the piece of candy that was originally given to Xiaocui from his small pocket, and showed off to the old man in a milky voice: "Grandpa, this is given to me by the fat brother, you can taste it, it's sweet." And the old man's answer is exactly the same as the answer of the grandparents of later generations: "Grandpa is old and has bad teeth, so he can't eat sweet, so let's eat it in Xiaojing." After speaking, he didn't forget to praise: "Xiaojing is really a good boy." ”

Li Shu on the side saw this scene and felt that this little boy named Xiaojing was like his own childhood, which child had not been spoiled to his grandparents, and they all said that they were next generation, which grandparents and grandparents didn't leave all the delicious food to their granddaughters and grandchildren? Li Xi sighed, at this time the old man also raised his head to look at Li Shu and the two, Li Xi only then did he carefully see the appearance of the old man, the old man is not short, but his back is still straight, although his face is full of wrinkles, but he is still in good spirits. His hair and beard were gray, and he was about fifty or sixty years old. It's just that his eyes have changed from the kindness he had when he looked at Xiaojing before, and he became extremely sharp, as if he could see through Li Wei's heart. The old man touched Xiaojing's head and said to him, "Good boy, you go out to play for a while, grandpa still has some things." ”

At this time, Li Wei also took out all his sugar and stuffed Xiaojing's small pocket to the brim, Xiaojing was overjoyed to get so much sugar at once, and shouted that Xiaocui ran out while holding his small pocket.

The old man kindly watched Xiaojing run out, and did not forget to advise: "Slow down!" And after Xiaojing went out, the old man's eyes became sharp again, and he kept looking at Li Shu and the two.

After a while, it was the old man who spoke first to break the awkward atmosphere: "The two of you let Xiaojing, the kid, bring it, must have seen the old clumsy work?" Li Xi nodded and said respectfully: "The younger generation has already seen the masterpiece. The seniors' martial arts attainments are profound, and the juniors are really admired. The old man waved his hand to interrupt Li Xi's words and said, "Don't say anything flattering, just say what I want to do, my old man is old and likes to go straight." ”

Li Shu had thought of a good rhetoric on the road, but now he was picked by the old man and didn't know what to say, Li Shu took out the sword book with Xiahui swordsmanship from his baggage, and asked the old man: "The martial arts on this sword book drawn by the predecessors are exactly the same as the swordsmanship passed down to me by the family teacher, and the juniors want to ask the seniors how to know this swordsmanship?" After hearing this, the old man smiled slightly: "There are so many swordsmanship in the world, is it possible that only you know and others can't?" Although Li Xi heard that the old man was sarcastic, he still wanted to know why the Xiahui Sword Technique, which should not have appeared, appeared in this world. Li Xi said: "Senior, since the death of the family teacher, this swordsmanship should no longer be known in the world except me, but I didn't expect to see it again today, is it really that I can't sit in the well and watch the sky?" Naturally, Li Xi would not tell the mysterious old man about the novice village in front of him, but Li Xi was really eager to know the answer from the old man's mouth.

Seeing that Li Xi's attitude was so sincere, the old man also changed his opinion of Li Xi, and asked, "Could the son be wrong?" Li Xi shook his head and said: "I have seven sword books drawn by my predecessors here, and the swordsmanship passed on by my master has a total of thirty-six moves, and there are thirty-two moves on the sword book of my predecessors, and these thirty-two moves are exactly the same, and the remaining four moves I just happened to see Xiaojing practicing, the moves are exactly the same, and the number is not bad at all, is there such a coincidence in the world?" ”

The old man took the sword book in Li Xi's hand, and after casually turning a few pages, he said to Li Xi: "This sword technique was not created by me, I saw a woman use it more than 20 years ago, my old man has no other skills, and his ability to remember things is still a little, but although I can remember the movements of these moves, I don't know anything about the mental tricks." That's why I drew it to make the children play. ”

Li Shu was even more shocked when he heard the old man's words, if the old man said that he had used Li Shu, he could also be regarded as an old man who had seen a martial artist, after all, Dongliang had said that the four of them had wandered on the rivers and lakes, but now that the old man was talking about a woman, Li Shu couldn't believe it, how could anyone still know Xiahui swordsmanship? Li Xi asked again: "Senior, have you ever seen this female senior later?" The old man waved his hand: "No, I have only seen this time, and there is no news of her on the rivers and lakes, and I only saw her fighting with others by chance, she must be a hidden master, if he can live until now, I am afraid that he is also a gray-haired old woman." ”

Seeing that the old man did not know the origin and traces of the woman back then, it means that this matter has become a mystery again. Just as Li Xi sighed, the old man spoke: "This son, if you have thoughts, you should care more about yourself!" As soon as the old man's words came out, Li Xi and Shaohuan were both shocked, and Li Wei thought that the mysterious old man in front of him was going to make a move against him, and he was ready to resist. Seeing that Li Shu was so nervous, the old man sneered: "Boy, is the Quchi acupoint on your left arm swelling and painful recently, and the middle navel acupoint of your lower abdomen is like a needle prick at night?" ”

Shao Huan didn't know why the old man said something inexplicable, but when he looked back at Li Xi, he nodded, Shao Huan pressed Li Xi's shoulder in shock and asked, "Big brother, why are you hiding it from me!" Li Xi didn't speak, because he didn't know what to say, the old man was right, he did have a sore arm from time to time, and every night the abdomen and middle navel acupoint often tingled, at first Li Xi thought it was caused by fatigue, and it would be fine to breathe, but the pain not only did not disappear but intensified, and now the pain is so painful that it is difficult to sleep. Fortunately, every time the pain was in the middle of the night, so Shao Huan didn't know it, and Li Wei didn't tell him because he was afraid that Shao Huan would worry about himself.

Shao Huan saw that Li Xi didn't speak, knowing that what the old man said was true, he couldn't imagine that Li Xi would suffer such pain every day, let alone that Li Xi would suffer alone from him. Shao Huan knelt down in front of the old man with a plop: "Senior, please save my eldest brother!" ”
