The sound of drizzle eaves, the crisp sound of green leaves, and the roof tiles shake and rot mud......

The moon does not appear lightly, and the red flower is lonely and thin......

Thinking of the three-foot front, and now nostalgic for the withered leaves......

- Xilan's drunken miscellaneous

The rain fell overnight until dawn, and Tian Ling took a jar of wine from home early in the morning to find Xilan. When he arrived at the dojo, Xilan was still sleeping on the floor, still holding his precious gourd in his arms.

Tianling went out to buy some food again, and when he returned to the dojo, Xilan was holding the wine jar and drinking.

Tianling put down his food and said, "You drink so much, aren't you afraid of hurting your body?" ”

Xi Lan raised her hazy sleepy eyes and said with a smile: "Drunken dreams and deaths are nothing more than that." After saying that, he chuckled a few more times.

One morning passed in such a sitting and drinking, and the next morning it was still the same. On the third day, Xing Xilan was a little more sober, so he asked Tianling on the side, "Boy, can you breathe?" ”

"Breathe?" Tianling was puzzled.

Taking a sip of wine, Xilan explained, "Breathing is the process of gas exchange between the human body and the outside world. It is divided into external breathing and internal breathing, external breathing is the ventilation and ventilation of the lungs, and it is also the flow of gases in the body's blood. Whereas, internal respiration refers to the exchange of gases in the cells and blood of the body. ”

Tianling was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't know what Xi Lan wanted to express. Xi Lan saw Tianling's stunned appearance and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen that kind of person who is as thin as dry firewood, but can burst out with extraordinary strength?" ”

Tianling thought for a while and said, "Well, I've seen it." A man actually lifted the big stone in order to save his son who was crushed under the big rock. ”

Xilan nodded and continued to ask, "Have you ever seen someone who has no magical powers, but kills a magician or a swordsman?" ”

"I haven't seen it."

Xilan was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to continue. After a long time, he laughed and continued: "The method of breathing is different from the use of magic power, and the amount and strength of magic power depend on individual talent. And through exercise, through breathing, to regulate and explode the strength of the body, it depends on the individual's efforts. ”

Tian Ling said, "In other words, people who don't have magic power or can't use magic power can also gain strength through exercising their bodies and this breathing method?" ”

"So to speak." Xi Lan nodded, "But this kind of physical training method can only fight with beginner and intermediate swordsmen or magicians at most, and even higher ones can't fight." After all, a high-level mage, a single magic can destroy half of the city, what's the use of your good health? ”

Tianling thought about it, so he didn't ask.

Xi Lan moved the wine jar away, ate something, wiped her mouth and sat on the ground, and said, "This breathing method was created by me from the cultivation method of 'Nian Qi', and I named it 'Liuxin'. The principle is to allow the body to inhale more air, allowing the blood to flow faster, which leads to improved reactions and bodily functions. ”

"Isn't it just like normal breathing?"

"It's different, it's rhythmic, it's methodical."

As she spoke, Xi Lan taught Tian Ling the breathing method called 'Liuxin'.

The flow heart breathing method can be divided into one long and one short, the long breath accumulates strength, and the short breath explodes strength; Switching between long and short breaths during breathing can achieve the realm of free retraction of strength.

After Xi Lan finished teaching, he said: "The flow of the heart is just the icing on the cake, the most important thing is the condensation of your own body and magic power. ”

"Yes, Master." Tianling said respectfully.

"Don't, don't call it that." Xilan moved the vat again, "We haven't gotten to that point yet. ”

"Well, how do I ...... then?"

"Just call me uncle."

"Okay, uncle."

In the morning, Tian Ling brought wine to Xi Lan, practiced 'flowing heart', and cleaned the dojo by the way, and in the afternoon he reviewed the sword skills he had learned before, and only meditated in the evening. During this period of time, Tianqi didn't ask too much about Tianling's younger brother, and when Zhu Lao came back, Tianling's eyes seemed to be a little inexplicable. Tianling didn't think much about it, but he still lived his life.

The autumn wind passed, the cold plum blossomed, and time passed like this, and half a year passed in a blink of an eye.

The snow fell in the night sky, and Tianling sat outside the small building drinking tea, looking at the snow, which was also a little comfortable. The rice cake brought a small stove, put it next to Tianling, and asked softly, "Childe, is it cold?" ”

At this time, Tianling had completely lost weight, tall and sturdy, although he was not as handsome as Tianqi, he was also good-looking.

The temperature is a little low, but Tianling is in good health, and he has magic to protect himself, and he doesn't feel cold; He said, "It's not cold." ”

The rice cake also cared about Tianling, and took a piece of rice to drape Tianling. Tianling smiled, thanking the rice cake for his kindness. The rice cake then bowed down and went back to the room to rest.

Tian Ling took a breath of hot air, warmed the tea on the stove again, looked at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, and seemed to have emotion in his heart, so he asked: "Facella, you say, it's actually good to stay like this." ”

The magic sword heard the meaning of Tian Ling's words, and said, "You're not going back to the Demon Realm?" ”

"I don't want to go back, it's good here!"

"Yo, yo, boy, degraded by a comfortable life."

"It's much better to live like this than the terrifying life in the Demon Realm."

"It's too!"

"Huh? Why don't you persuade me? ”

"What are you trying to do with it?"

"Persuade me to go back to the Demon Realm."

"Hey, why did you persuade you to go back to the Demon Realm? When I boil you to death, I'll be free. I can afford to wait. ”

"You can think about it."

"If you live for a long time, you can naturally think about it!"

The snow was still falling, like fluttering white feathers. A white blanket was laid in the courtyard, and the trees outside the courtyard were also wrapped in silver.

Tianqi and Zhu Lao passed by the corridor and saw Tianling sitting outside the building drinking tea. Seeing this, Tianqi smiled and said, "I didn't expect this kid to be so Yaxing." ”

Zhu Lao also praised: "Yes, over the past few days, the second son has really changed a lot, and it is quite happy." ”

"Speaking of which, I also want to thank the four princesses of that empire!" Tianqi laughed, "If it weren't for that woman, my brother would probably be rotten forever." ”

"Who's to say it isn't! This also made the second son grow up. Zhu Lao also smiled.

Tianqi suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked, "By the way, Zhu Lao, what did the Dross Empire say?" ”

"Last month, the envoy went again." Zhu Lao paused, but still said, "The king of Leon is a little hesitant, but the nobles below are all opposed to the fourth princess marrying over. ”

"Hmph, you dare to object, and I don't know who provided their weapons." Tianqi sneered, "It's really shameless." ”

Tianqi looked at the lonely figure outside the building again, groaned, and said, "After the beginning of spring, Dross will be attacked by the Bantu clan, hey!" Tomorrow stop all the weapons that are going to be sent to Dross and see what they do. ”

Zhu Lao thought for a while, and said, "The eldest prince can also promise the Bantu people to sell them weapons at a low price. ”

Tianqi laughed and praised: "Good, good, good...... I see that the people of the empire still dare to chirp crookedly, and it is their honor for my brother to fall in love with their princess! ”

Zhu Lao also echoed and laughed.

Tianqi said again: "Zhu Lao, you go and inform the inner line of Dross, and ask the inner line to vaguely convey to those nobles what we are going to do." ”

"Yes!"

"Hmph, are you afraid of not getting married?"

"The eldest prince is also worried about the second son!" Zhu Lao sighed.

"You think that kid can't see it?" Tianqi laughed, "That kid just didn't say anything." Hey, that kid has a lot of eyes, there used to be more, and now there are more. Zhu Lao, don't you know, before that kid went to find the Sword Saint, he actually asked the entire Su Yan people, big and small, hehe......"

"I'm afraid the second son has the demeanor of a big son."

"My name is Yangmou, he's a little trick!"

When winter rises, the mild sun does not melt the silver on the ground, but the hearts of those who are sunburned are warm. Tianling got up early in the morning, hugged the wine altar and went to the dojo. Xilan was a little different today, not only was she dressed neatly, but she didn't even drink wine. There was one more person in the dojo, and it was the woman named Nuo Yu.

As soon as Xi Lan saw Tianling coming in, he beckoned, "You put the wine aside and come and sit." ”

Tian Ling did as he was said and sat on Nuo Yu's right side. I saw Xi Lan sitting on the top and said to Tianling: "During this time, I see that your kid is not bad, and I am ready to accept you as an apprentice." ”

Tianling was overjoyed, but he heard Xi Lan say, "Don't be happy first, listen to me." If you become my apprentice, I will not treat you badly, and I will pass on to you what I have learned all my life. But ......"

Xilan paused and continued, "I don't have any rules here, but what I think of, what I say is rules. ”

Tianling was stunned and said, "Isn't it a little overbearing?" ”

"Overbearing?" Xi Lan's voice raised a few points, "I'm just domineering, what's the matter?" Boy, love should not be right. ”

Tianling immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "How can it be improper? Master! ”

"Hmph......" Xilan snorted pretendingly.

The apprenticeship is simple, perhaps Xilan is afraid of trouble. Na Nuo Yu was also happy, patted Tianling on the shoulder and said, "Little junior brother, the task of taking care of the master will be handed over to you!" ”

"Okay, senior sister!" Tianling looked respectful.

Xi Lan kicked Tianling and said, "Get out, get out!" Boy, I'll let you have to be scared for a day today, and you can also shout that you are the apprentice of my Sword Saint Xilan when you go out! Ha ha...... Get out of here, make you happy for a day, and come over tomorrow and start learning swords officially. ”

Tian Ling was speechless, and laughed: "Master, if I say so, people will definitely say that it is the apprentice of the drunken ghost, not the apprentice of the Sword Saint, hahaha......"

When Nuo Yu heard this, he also covered his mouth and snickered.

Xi Lan glared at Nuo Yu, kicked Tianling again, and scolded: "Get out, get out ......"

Tianling bowed and ran away with a grin.

Seeing this, Nuo Yu snickered a few more times. Suddenly, she turned her head, looked at Xi Lan and said, "Master......"

Xilan waved her hand, patted her trouser leg and stood up, and said, "When this kid is taught, I should go to her." ”

"Master, why bother, it's just a ...... in a dream," Nuo Yu's voice became lower and lower.

"Dreams?" Xi Lan's eyes were confused, as if reminiscing, "Maybe it's a dream, maybe it's not a dream." Ever since I got that power in the Cave of Sorrow, I haven't figured out what that power is. Maybe she's in a dream, maybe she's in the long river of time, hey...... I just don't know if I'll be able to recognize her when I see her again. ”

"Master......"

Xilan laughed at herself, and said, "You don't have to take care of me now, besides, you also resigned from your position as a guard and became an envoy to the principality." If you want him, you can go to Belmar and find him. ”

Nuo Yu shook his head and sighed, "He can't forget Luxi's ......"

"Then you go and bring greetings from my old friend."

The cold plum blossoms proudly bloom in the snow, and the cold wind blows, blowing off the snow pressed on the flowers, and the bells under the eaves jingle loudly. What is blown away is the past, and what is left is emotional wounds.
