In a flash, three days passed.

Duan Jiu sat at the round table, opened the "Shui Hua Sutra" that Tianmaiden Xi specially read to him that day, this time he read it carefully, although he didn't understand it very well, he didn't understand it halfway, and he couldn't actually practice it, but he also read it with relish, firstly, because he could understand the words in the book, and secondly, because the words in the book were profound and philosophical, which was exactly what he wanted.

For three days, although Duan Jiu was still blaming himself, he also recognized the situation, since ancient times, sorrow could not solve the problem, and fortunately, he was not the kind of person who loved to shirk responsibility. Since Ling'er was robbed because of his own decision-making mistakes, he categorically couldn't just walk away. He had to get Ling'er out, and how to save it was another question. This question can be pondered, but it cannot be avoided in frustration.

Of course, there are three more questions that make Duan Jiu difficult to answer-

Why Yang Qinglong and Yang Jue?

Why did the "village owner" give up on himself?

Why could he still receive a mission a month ago?

This first question, Duan Jiu was confident that he would never recognize the wrong person, and that day, when he couldn't move, the people who drove away the carriage carrying Ling'er were definitely Yang Qinglong and Yang Decided. However, Yang Qinglong and Yang Du were just bandits, how could they discover the secret inside the carriage? Who instructed them to come? Was it really the "master of the village"? Could it be Zhao Shisan? How did they know that Duan Jiu was dueling with the Guangping pilot? Could it be that they were actually in the same group as the Guangping pilot? A question is actually the result of countless problems.

These two questions, since Yang Ziang came to tell Duan Jiu that the "village master" had been transferred from Qinglong Mountain, he faintly felt that the problems here were not simple. When he returned to the Qinglong Cave that day, he saw that the residence of the "owner of the village" was connected to Yang Qinglong's bedroom, did this indicate that Yang Qinglong was the "master of the village"? Perhaps, Yang Qinglong was the person who gave him the task on his behalf? Of course, the biggest possibility was that Yang Qinglong, like Duan Jiu, was the master of the scene! Therefore, when Yang Qinglong robbed Ling'er, Duan Jiu must have been the "master of the village" who instructed them to come and rob Ling'er, and it was the "master of the village" who gave up on him.

This third problem is the most incredible, it stands to reason that the "village master" has only two choices for his subordinates, the first is to trust him and use him, and the second is to kill him and get rid of him. However, why didn't the "owner of the village" get rid of him? Did the "owner of the village" feel that he was useless and not enough to cause trouble? No, no, the rule in the rivers and lakes has always been that it is better to kill 10,000 by mistake than to let go of one. There is no reason for him to enjoy privileges.

Duan Jiu gently closed the "Shui Hua Jing", poured a cup of tea, and tasted the tea carefully, only to see a sentence in the book - "If you want to lose, you will be supplemented, and if you want to take it, you must be with it." The ultimate mystery of the way to harness water is to first deal with it and then take it. ”

Duan Jiu doesn't understand the ultimate mystery of his way of harnessing water, but he understands this-"If you want to take it, you must let it go." "Eight characters.

He secretly exclaimed, "The owner of the village is really a genius in employing people, I don't know why we are willing to work for him, it turns out that he used the request and gratitude of our laypeople." ”

Morality is the ultimate weapon for the use of the rules of this world.

Duan Jiu put down the teacup, got up and walked to the window, feeling the comfort of the breeze blowing, looking at the vast earth and the vast sky, he felt infinite emotion in his heart.

"I'm still too tender. It's just a little bit of reasoning, but there's no wisdom to strategize. ”

Duan Jiu breathed a deep sigh of relief, for some reason, since he jumped from here three days ago, and after taking a dip in the lake, it was like his soul had been cleansed, and it was much cleaner and brighter. This is also the benefit of water, which cleanses all things in the world.

The way to control the water, Duan Jiu became more and more interested.

"Dangdang. ”

There was a knock at the door, and Duan Jiu said, "Come in." ”

The door was gently pushed open, and Tiannu Xi walked in from outside the door, and said with a smile: "Duan Gongzi, you woke up early, why don't you go down and eat some breakfast?"

Duan Jiu said dumbly, when he woke up, it was the beginning of the morning, he thought that Senior Liu had not yet gotten up, so it was inconvenient to disturb, so he sat down to read the "Bloom Sutra" by himself, but he didn't want to see the gods, that is, when he saw the long window of the sunrise.

Seeing that Duan Jiu couldn't answer, Heavenly Maiden Xi changed the topic and said, "Duan Gongzi, I made some noodles, so I'll serve them for you." ”

Duan Jiu moved in response, and was about to say, "No need, I'll just go down by myself." But I saw that the Heavenly Maiden Xi had turned away, and the phantom flashed, and the person was gone.

Duan Jiu shook his head helplessly, this woman was indeed too good to herself.

In this world, feelings are too complicated and difficult to understand. He and Lin were originally commensurate with each other, but in the end, they didn't want to be really yin by Lin Yuan, and colluded with outsiders to harm him. And Tiannu Xi and him are only one-sided friends, and when they meet in Pingshui, they are willing to save each other with their lives many times and treat each other like servants.

"There are all kinds of things in the world, and human nature dictates them. ”

"Whew", the Heavenly Maiden Xi is like the wind, the shadow is stepping, shifting, one moment I saw her bring some noodle bowls to the door, and the next moment she put the noodle bowl on the table, coquettishly smiled, and said: "Duan Gongzi, come and eat while it's hot." ”

Since someone brought the noodles to them, why not eat them?

Duan Jiu walked back to the table, sat back on the chair, and looked down to see this bowl of noodles, very familiar, a piece of fried egg floating on the noodles, simple and monotonous, the noodle soup was clear, such an ordinary noodle one night was actually Ling'er's favorite noodle that eats all the delicacies in the world, it is really incredible.

"Hoo ......"

Duan Jiu picked up the long noodles and put them into his mouth, exhaled and put them into his mouth, and filled a mouthful before cutting it off with his teeth. The noodles are chewed lightly in the mouth, with the taste of star anise oil and salt, full of toughness, soft and delicious, and it is indeed delicious.

It doesn't matter if you go back to basics, or if the pig with chaff can't get used to eating rice, in short, such a monotonous noodle has its own flavor.

Tiannu Xi stood aside and said with a smile: "Duan Gongzi, do you think it's delicious?"

Duan Jiu replied lightly: "It's really good." After that, he took another big bite, and such a bowl of noodles, three times and two times, had already gone for most of it.

"Whew. This was the last bite, Duan Jiu chewed, looking at the only soup left in the bowl, very satisfied.

Seeing that Duan Jiu had finished eating, Heavenly Maiden Xi asked again, "Duan Gongzi, three days have passed, I don't know what you are thinking?"

When Duan Jiu heard this, he didn't move when he had a face in his mouth, and he was stunned. Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds, the pointer moved again, Duan Jiu's mouth continued to chew the rest of the noodles, and when he swallowed it thoroughly, he took a sip of soup and said, "There is nothing to think about, I have never had the right to choose, I have no way back but to move forward." ”

When the Heavenly Maiden heard this, her willow eyebrows were stretched, her white skin was dyed with the color of cherry blossoms, and her lips were slightly hooked, as if the most beautiful spring was all depicted on that delicate and perfect face.

"Duan Gongzi can think like this, I'm very happy. ”

Duan Jiu took another sip of noodle soup, which was light and only had a little salty taste.

"Miss Xi, thank you, it is really a blessing for me to meet you. ”

After listening to it, Tiannu Xi felt like hearing the most pleasant music in the world, and her heart was so sweet, as if she had poured a glass of sugar water and poured it.

Who would have thought that a woman would be so easily satisfied with the man she likes?

Tiannu Xi bloomed the sweetest and most beautiful smile in her life, and said with a smile: "Being able to meet Duan Gongzi is Xiaoxi's greatest blessing." ”

Duan Jiu looked at the soup in the bowl reflecting his face, his face was as calm as soup, was there anything else in his heart besides gratitude? When he first saw him, the reserved and uncomfortable seemed to have quietly left.

Duan Jiu said lightly: "Miss Xi, teach me the art of killing." ”

Heavenly Maiden Xi was stunned, she had fantasized about Duan Jiu telling her countless times about this sentence, and she had also wanted to tell Duan Jiu countless times, but she always didn't dare to say it. Because, she was afraid that Duan Jiu would be unhappy about killing people.

Three days ago, she wanted to teach Duan Jiu the assassination technique, but she didn't want to today, but Duan Jiu opened her mouth first.

Tiannu Xi felt surprised, but she felt happy, she was so happy. Duan Gongzi finally admitted himself, and Duan Gongzi finally became the Duan Jiu who refused to admit defeat! This kind of Duan Jiu is the Duan Jiu she likes.

"Good. ”

The heart was surging, but in the end, it only turned into a simple and light "good" word. Maybe everything in the world is like this, the most shocking is the most ordinary, the most unbelievable, and the most accustomed after all.

Duan Jiu slowly stood up and turned to Tiannu Xi, it was the first time he looked at Tiannu Xi's flawless face like this, but Tiannu Xi was not such a shy person, and she also smiled and stared straight at Duan Jiu.

For a long time, in the eyes of outsiders, it was extremely embarrassing, but in the eyes of the two, they saw a different kind of world.

When he looks at her, his eyes are water, his eyes are like silk, and his eyes can hook his soul if he squints, and when she looks at him, they are earth, deep and bottomless, and they are bright and clear in the blink of an eye.

Duan Jiu raised his right hand and lightly touched it on the lips of the Heavenly Maiden, which were as soft as cotton, and he had kissed this touching lip many times.

Duan Jiu asked coldly, "Miss Xi, am I going to call you Master in the future?"

Tiannu Xi was stunned, she didn't expect that a man would look at her affectionately like this, and use his hand to hook people and tease his red lips like this, but in the end he just said such a nondescript question.

"Yes...... No...... It's not ......"

Heavenly Maiden Xi was at a loss for what to do, this was the first time in her life that she was so upset in front of a man, she was afraid that if she said yes, she would lose the opportunity to go further to Duan Jiu, and she didn't know if she would be unqualified to teach him assassination techniques if she said no.

In this Jianghu, since ancient times, there have always been too many rules. Those who do not obey are often rejected by the people, and those who obey seem to be difficult to be right.

Duan Jiu sneered, and the Heavenly Maiden Xi chuckled, at this time, how could she still have the pride of the coquettish royal people in the past, and they were all the weak colors of the little bird.

"Smack"

Duan Jiu suddenly hugged her, hugged her tightly, and was almost out of breath, but she didn't dare to resist, didn't dare to push away, lest she would make Duan Jiu think that she wouldn't let him hug or love.

"Duan Gongzi. Heavenly Maiden Xi's hands were also wrapped around Duan Jiu's waist.
