After a night's sleep, the little guy who brought me grooming utensils and breakfast told me that today is the day when the Taopin Building welcomes the new people from the Western Regions to enter the building, and Aunt Hua is busy receiving the combing banquet in the afternoon, so she can't come to accompany me.

I was not interested, and I should have passed lowly, but seeing that today's breakfast was indeed a little more sumptuous than the previous two days, I thought that Aunt Hua knew that I was depressed, and I must feel guilty for not being able to accompany me, and I couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to her.

I pushed the window to look, but saw a sturdy and huge spear falcon flying out of the courtyard building quickly and straight under the curious gaze of the people pushing the window probes on all floors, and flew straight out of the courtyard building to the west in the direction of Lianyue Mountain.

I looked down, but saw Duan Ming looking up at me under the peach tree in the courtyard and smiling. He was still wearing the dirty clothes alone, with a green silk on his head, as if he had just been groomed.

"Morning!"

The faint morning light poured through the mottled yellow leaves on Duan Ming's soft cheeks, showing more and more the infinite vitality of the youth's vigorous hair.

A few maids saw the handsome young man in the courtyard who was getting up in the morning to freshen up and shouting upstairs. Duan Minghe had seen such a scene before, his cheeks burned red, and he picked up the wooden basin by the well in a panic and was about to go to the building.

"Duan Ming." I stopped his hurried steps in time, suppressed my desire to mock, and said solemnly, "Wait for me to go down." ”

I turned and walked out of the room, and as I went downstairs, I was greeted by Ganlai, who was dragging a heavy wooden basin up for morning cleaning. The kid had obviously let go of his previous estrangement and fear, squinted his big eyes, and greeted me warmly. When I saw such a bright and innocent smile for a while, I couldn't help but feel a little better. Gently and easily, he went down to the courtyard with light steps.

In the sunlight, I saw Duan Ming standing crampedly in place with a wooden basin, as if he was restrained by the order I had just unintentionally said, and pressed a red-faced face very low to avoid the ridicule of the girls upstairs. I smiled helplessly, strode forward and grabbed his face and raised my voice and said, "It's such a cold day, why did you come out wearing only one piece!" If you really don't think the subordinates are well served, I will personally wash you in the future! ”

Duan Ming's eyes widened, and the heat on his face reached my palm one after another, and the mouth that I had pinched into a small crumpled hole spit out a few inaudible whispers.

And when the maid upstairs saw my words and deeds like this, she only thought that I was also a person in this building, and Duan Ming was a benefactor in my room, so she lost interest for a while, and closed the window listlessly and went back to the room to rest. Although Duan Ming still didn't understand my intentions, when he saw that I had relieved him, he gently broke free of my hands and took two steps back.

"Thank you......"

"There seems to be a big falcon just now," I said, shaking my head to change the subject, "just flew out of the yard, did you see it?" ”

"Do you say You Yong? It is our messenger to deliver the message to Lingguang Mountain. Duan Ming eased his embarrassment and said in a relaxed tone, "Strange to say, the general altar has not sent anyone to communicate new tasks to you and me recently, as if we know that we have only just recovered from serious injuries and know that you have lost your memory." Even if they don't ask, I'll have to report back to the top on a regular basis, as you've always done. ”

I mumbled in response. I'm really not in the mood to inquire about Wen Ling's affairs at the moment. Then he went straight to the point and said: "Duan Ming, you teach me kung fu." ”

"What? Now? Duan Ming was a little at a loss, "When I got up this morning, I seemed to see what kind of banquet was being prepared in Taopinlou, and this courtyard has been coming and going, why don't you have to help prepare?" ”

"No, you don't." I replied briefly, "I heard that it was to welcome a new girl, maybe there is some face, I don't know." Why, do they still bother us with their fun ahead? ”

"That's not it, it's just that I thought you'd want to recuperate for two more days, but I didn't expect this vigorous and resolute temperament to be the same as before." Duan Ming smiled, "But if you suddenly mention it, I don't know where to find it for three moments......

"It's bustling in the city of Kazhou, and it's too inconvenient to go out of the city, isn't it good to be in this courtyard?"

"You say here...?" Duan Ming looked around, looked up at the rows of closed windows upstairs and hesitated, "Is it appropriate here?" ”

"Nothing out of place. Aunt Hua promised me to go unimpeded in this peach sales building early in the morning, and there is nothing wrong with them here, so what else is inappropriate. I said lightly, "Just tap the movement and not disturb the rest of the people upstairs." ”

"Ahh Okay, so in that case, then... Let's start with some simple common sense today. Duan Ming was still a little embarrassed and said, "Let's talk about the tail sect first." You and I are in the Gangfeng Banner, and the natural thing that we have practiced since childhood is the internal force of the wind. Different from the five elements of yin and yang, the five flags of the tail sect are the Red Flame Flag, the Water Flag, the Gangfeng Flag, the Thunder Flag and the Feiyan Flag. Each of the five banners cultivates its own law and performs its own duties. Among them, the Chiyan Banner, which is responsible for forging blades and quenching poison for medicine, and the Thunder Banner, which is responsible for guarding the main altar and recruiting disciples, are the strongest and most powerful. The Feiyan Banner was responsible for infiltrating the dead soldiers to the north and south, lurking everywhere to listen to the news; The Bishui Banner is a messenger for the Feiyan Banner people everywhere in the world to screen, verify and transmit news to the main altar. ”

"And what about our Gangfeng Banner?"

"The Gangfeng Banner is slightly different from the other four banners, we have the least number of dead soldiers under our command, but their abilities are all outstanding. The Gangfeng Banner does not have any cooperative relationship with the Four Banners, and is only directly dispatched by the Sect Master. For a long time, most of the tasks we have received have been to assassinate officials in the DPRK and China who have bad intentions towards our religion, or to massacre the rest of the sects that pose a threat to our religion. Duan Ming said with some concealment, "Later, I joined the sect and became your deputy flag master, and you became closer and closer to the sect leader as you grew older... Gradually, our bannermen were transferred to the other four banners one after another, and the tasks received became fewer and fewer, and almost I could complete them alone. And you... But it seems that he has become the only personal attendant of the sect leader, and he rarely shows his face in the Gangfeng Banner......"

"That's it...," I said in a deep voice, "Is there something between Duan Ming, Wen Ling and the Sect Master?" ”

"Don't dare to say that!" Duan Ming hurriedly covered my mouth and said solemnly, "The rules of our tail sect, from the sect leader to the banner master and even the last dead soldier, cannot have a male or female affection for anyone. If there is a violation, our Gangfeng Banner will be the executioner of the sect leader to purge the sect. ”

"I see... As you said, Wen Ling decided that he would not have feelings for the sect master by defying the law. I breathed a sigh of relief, and playfully looked at Duan Ming's round and slightly childish eyes and said, "So as you said, you and I are both cold-hearted and emotionless killers?" ”

"The rules in the church should be like this." Duan Ming was embarrassed to argue, "But since I joined the sect, you have taken care of me in every way, openly and secretly, and later you carefully passed on my martial arts and pulled me to sit on the position of this flag master." I don't dare to forget this kindness one day! ”

"Okay, just joking with you, don't be so nervous." I smiled and said, "People are not plants and trees, just ask who doesn't have relatives and friends." Otherwise, what's the point of being alone in this world? ”

"I was an orphan who had no relatives or a reason to steal for a living in a small village on Yuan'an. Ten years ago, it was you who saved my life under their sticks......" Duan Ming lowered his purple face and said, "Over the years in the Tail Sect, although I have been a mixed up, I have never made half a friend. I only have you in my life, and although I dare not call you a friend, I regard you as my only and most important master. Although I have no relatives or friends in this world, with you, I am very happy and content! ”

"Aren't we friends now..."I didn't expect Duan Ming to have such a background, so I had to slow down my tone and say, "Blame me, how did I get to this, I don't have to arouse your sadness - okay, okay, it's all over, your words haven't finished yet, I still want to listen to it......"

"yes, it's all gone." I don't know if it's really relieved or if I have to obey my orders, Duan Ming snorted and continued to pull the corners of his mouth and said, "Actually, it's not right to say that our Gangfeng Banner is special, the tail sect has five banners, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the division of labor is strict, and which flag can be replaced." Speaking of the other four banner masters, they are their own supernatural powers, dragons and phoenixes among people. ”

"What kind of people are they?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been in the church for long, and I haven't had the opportunity to meet any of them in person." Duan Ming said shyly, "It's just that the rules in the sect have always been like this. The Five Banners are not allowed to be too involved except for working together for the Sect Master, and even the Five Banner Masters rarely have the opportunity to meet. Maybe the last time the Five Banners gathered was twelve years ago, when the old banner master of the Feiyan Banner, Yu Yi Heavenly King, was killed by apostasy, and the new flag master took over the throne. It's just that I only joined the tail sect ten years ago, so naturally I haven't been lucky enough to meet a few seniors. ”

Twelve years ago...... As if remembering Aunt Hua's gossip, Wen Ling was included in the Tail Sect when the early kingdom collapsed twelve years ago, and he may have seen the Five Banners Banner. It's just that she was just a six-year-old child back then, and now she has no memory, so naturally she can't leave me any memories of the Tail Sect.

"But although I have never seen them, I have heard more or less of their prestige from you before." Duan Ming continued, "Among the Five Banners, Qiu Xianyun, who is an old man with seniority to push the Water Flag, heard that his old man has served the sect leader since the beginning of the founding of the Tail Sect, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called Longtan Xianyun. I think it's because for hundreds of years of delivering news to the sect leader in the Longtan Tiger's Den in various countries, but it doesn't leave half a trace like a fairy cloud transiting. And if you talk about the martial arts, I am afraid that the predecessors of the Shocking Stone who are called the Shocking Red Kui by the people of the Thunder Banner are the first. It is rumored that this shocking senior is nine feet long, as burly as a mountain, with the potential of thunderbolts pulling out mountains and splitting the earth and shaking the sky. Its divine soldier Xin Yuan eight-sided hammer contains infinite thunder and lightning, and those who are hit by the five thunders are like five thunderbolts, that is, the stronger internal force will not die on the spot, and a few days later, the real yuan will rush wildly, and the blood will burst and die. The reason why the tail sect has set off a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes over the years and is still standing in Lingguang Mountain is that the predecessors have made great contributions. ”
