Chenhui was restless. His hands were shaking slightly.

The woman in black frowned slightly, although she quietly dissolved Chen Hui's sword, she felt that this sword was extremely similar to her own swordsmanship.

For a while, she was also in a trance.

The sun in Nansha City is very blazing, and it is the middle of summer, which should be the hottest time, but the scholar and cook feel a little cold.

Both the cook and the scholar had seen this trick at a very close distance.

The shopkeeper's mastery. As a person in the inn, this peerless study was the safest one for them to rely on, even in the face of the empire's first catch, although the scholar felt a headache, he was not too worried about whether he could get out.

But he never imagined that he would one day be dealt with by this trick.

The woman in black seemed to think of something, and suddenly lifted the wind and sand.

The cook and the scholar instantly felt that they could move, and the two glanced at each other, and both saw the puzzlement in each other's eyes.

The next moment, the woman in black struck the scholar with a finger sword, and this sword was exactly the same as the sword Chen Hui just now, both in terms of action and strength. There is no half-point deviation.

Chen Hui didn't expect the other party to make such a move, and in a hurry, he also did the strain that the woman in black had just done.

The sand was fixed by the wind, and the sword was fixed.

The two did not speak, as if two players on a chessboard imitated each other's moves.

Chen Hui's finger sword was fixed by the woman in black with the wind and sand, and the finger sword of the woman in black was also fixed by Chen Hui with the wind and sand.

Wind and sand sword intent to wind and sand sword intent.

Chen Hui's emotions were a little excited. The woman in black also had a complicated expression.

"Who the hell are you?"

The two voices overlapped, and Chen Hui and the woman in black actually asked the same sentence to each other at the same time.

It was quiet for a while. Only the noisy ones kept screaming, but it also added irritability to the hearts of those who heard it.

The woman in black stroked the little beast on her shoulder, and her mood slowly calmed down. But Chenhui didn't. At the moment when Chen Hui was in a trance, the woman in black once again cast the wind and sand.

In an instant, even the insect chirping stopped.

But Chen Hui is still losing his mind. He has been searching for the whereabouts of his master for a long time.

After leaving the valley, he took that building to the coldest Tieli country, and also to the hottest Wanzang tribe, camped in the secret realm of the Southern Barbarians full of poisonous insects, and slept under the overpass of the imperial capital where people came and went.

He had asked the officials of the court, the shipwharf man, the passers-by in the desert, and the beggars on the streets.

He was eager to find some traces of his master. But don't talk about the name Chensha, even the master's martial arts are not known to anyone.

But now, a person who uses the same martial arts as himself suddenly appears, and it is difficult for Chen Hui to calm down.

He vaguely guessed a possibility.

The woman in black also guessed a possibility.

……

Many years ago.

Somewhere outside Lianqing Mountain, a middle-aged man with a sword eyebrow was drinking wine with a wine gourd, and there seemed to be countless wine in the gourd, and he couldn't finish pouring it. He looked at the peach blossoms on the mountain, and his expression was lonely.

The little boy next to him knew that this was the master's loneliness. Because every time this happens, he drinks to death. Although, it will only appear once in a long time.

Just like before, he was very sensible to say something to the master.

"Master, do I have a master?"

"It's dead."

"Is that lady beautiful?"

"It's beautiful, but nowadays, it's just a pile of bones." The master took a sip of wine, drunk and misty.

"Master, it's not good to drink too much."

"Verbosity, practice, how can you be virtuous with your master."

"When the master is here, master, do you drink?"

"Don't drink! Don't drink! Alright, get out of here and practice! The master didn't know why he was suddenly angry, but this little apprentice who had killed him was not so melancholy.

"Master, if you drink when the master is gone, then the meaning of the master's existence will be gone."

The master was stunned, and sure enough, he stopped drinking. Then he suddenly realized that this conversation seemed to have been repeated many times.

He looked at the little boy with a smile on his lips.

"Master, do you have any other relatives?"

"Before...... I had a daughter, but later, there was no more. ”

"Then master, you are the same as me, I am not sad anymore, master, you can't be inferior to me." The apprentice was a little too sensible, and the master touched his head.

During those years in the valley, the pair of masters and apprentices, every once in a while, would have such conversations.

That little boy is naturally Chenhui. He always thought that the master was his only relative, and he was also the master's only relative. So he thought that the daughter mentioned by the master was dead.

If you live, you should be the same age as yourself.

The scholars and cooks didn't know this, they only felt that the shopkeeper's appearance was very strange, and there was a faint sadness, which was very different from usual.

At this moment, he was imprisoned by the wind and sand again, and the scholar hoped that the shopkeeper would have a way to untie it. But it seems that something is wrong with the shopkeeper. He had never seen a calm shopkeeper so depressed.

Chen Hui looked at the woman in black, looking helpless and confused.

The woman in black also looked at Chen Hui carefully. She quickly recovered from her trance, and even gradually, there was some tyranny in her eyes.

……

It's still years ago.

A mansion somewhere in Lotus Sky City. A childish and cute little girl was practicing swords, and a noble lady was watching from the sidelines, with a gentle expression.

"Ling'er's swordsmanship has improved again."

"Mother, when I finish practicing my swordsmanship, I will go to my father and ask him to come back to accompany you."

The young woman touched the little girl's head very lovingly.

"Ling'er, your father's swordsmanship is obscure, why do you have to practice."

"But...... Mother, why, daddy didn't teach me by himself, why did he leave? ”

A trace of pain flashed in the noblewoman's eyes.

Yes, why, just because you are the best in the world, you are a peerless swordsman, and you are unparalleled in the world, can't you live this peaceful life?

Just because the child is a woman, isn't it worth teaching your martial arts?

But her eyes were full of love.

Even so, she loved him and missed him very much. He's such a person she can't hate.

"Ling'er, your father is a hero of the world, his mantle needs to be inherited, and when your father passes on the peerless martial arts to his apprentices, he will come back."

"Mother, why can't Ling'er? Am I not his daughter? ”

The lady squatted down and pulled the little girl, and said softly:

"Silly Ling'er, you are a girl, your father probably doesn't want you to live a life of fighting and killing, you look at those Jianghu people, they are worried about when they will die every day."

The little girl, with her eyes wide open, said to her mother very seriously:

"Mother, they are afraid that they will die, and that's because they are weak. I'm going to do a good job of swordsmanship, I'm ...... I don't want to lose to his apprentice! ”

The lady is very helpless, she is a very easy-going person, and she never hinders her daughter from practicing swords, but neither she nor the swordsman thought that her daughter was such a strong daughter.

It's also a daughter with such outstanding talent in kendo.。

……

The woman in black approached step by step.

She had an evil smile on her beautiful face, but her eyes were full of murderous intent.

Neither of them answered the question of who you really are, but they both confirmed their guesses from the look in each other's eyes, or from the eyebrows.

Chenhui's body trembled slightly.

The woman in black came to him and gently held up Chenhui's chin with her fingers, the killing intent in her eyes did not converge at all, but her smile was a little playful.

"It's good-looking. But the kung fu is not very good. ”

"Yo, you still want to break free? Since you can also do this trick, then you should understand that if you want to break free from the wind and sand, unless this seat is extremely weak at the moment, or you have several times the internal strength of this seat. I'm not good at learning. ”

Chen Hui finally came back to his senses slowly.

His expression calmed: "We shouldn't be enemies. ”

The woman in black turned cold after hearing this: "Shouldn't it, this seat thinks that we were born enemies." But I don't want to kill you all of a sudden. The apprentice is so unsuccessful, maybe the master is not very good. ”

Chen Hui was a little uneasy and a little puzzled.

In his impression, the master cares about his family very much, but why......

"He claims to be the best in the world, and he is all good at medicine, martial arts, Confucianism, and Taoism, but I don't know if he can solve the poison of my ink fox."

After saying that, she gently patted the little black beast on her shoulder, and the little beast that looked like a fox quickly climbed onto Chen Hui's shoulder, and then bit it hard.

"Ugh!" Chen replied with a painful cry.

Immediately, I noticed that my vision began to blur. When she heard her say whether she could detoxify, Chen Hui understood one thing, this woman in black, didn't know that the master was dead.

He was tempted to say something, for he found that there was a great misunderstanding in front of them. also stood in front of her and her master.

But Chen Hui couldn't speak at the moment.

He lost consciousness and fell into a deep coma.

The expression of the woman in black was also very complicated, for so many years, she thought she had let go, but now that she saw that person's apprentice, she found that it was already a demon barrier in her heart, and she really wanted to take this shopkeeper to find that person and find his master. But this time she appeared, and she had something very important to rush to Qinzhou.

"Tie Catch, although I really want to kill you, but this seat has encountered a very happy thing today, so let you go, next time, it's best to bring God Star Generals, at least they are here, it won't be too boring."

As soon as the words fell, her figure turned into several afterimages and hurried towards the north.

After a while, Tie glanced at the cook and said stiffly, "You, go." ”

The scholar understood that Tie Xun felt that he was not dead but entrusted the blessing of the shopkeeper and his party, and at this moment the shopkeeper was at a critical juncture of life and death, and he thought that he owed the shopkeeper a favor.

Although Tie Xun was injured, the shopkeeper was unconscious at the moment, and it was impossible to defeat Tie Xun by himself and the cook. It was the scholar who nodded his head to show his gratitude, and then asked the cook to take the shopkeeper and walk to the inn.

The cook was very anxious, and the scholar's expression was not calm.

Because although the shopkeeper was unconscious, his face was full of pain.

The shopkeeper's lips twitched slightly, and he muttered a name.

"Chen...... Ling ......"

(The author's thoughts: Every character in the inn will have his own past, and the shopkeeper has a lot of past, and I will intersperse a little bit with each plot I complete.) In various anime, we know that memories are very boring, and some seriously drag the plot, but in this story, memories will slowly uncover some clues that everyone has always felt a little hazy, and I will also try to write a good memory part to make them look interesting and make every character in the inn seem flesh and blood, I hope you will like it~)
