Chapter 43: Guiding the Maze

Seeing Mingyue return to Lanyue Tower, Youning returned to Jiang Ming's residence with the questions in his heart. At one point, he suspected that Mingyue was actually a woman, and at another time, he felt that it was ridiculous to doubt Mingyue's gender. The heart is in a mess, and Youning can't sit in the room, nor can he stand. After walking around for nearly half a pillar of incense, You Ning suddenly stood still and slapped himself fiercely.

"What is there to doubt, what is the difference between a man and a woman, they are all masters who want to follow their lives. Yes! Follow the master of your life! There will be no other fate between Childe and me! ”

After slapping himself, Youning reluctantly made a conclusion to himself in his heart. In order to stop thinking nonsense, Youning picked up the sword hanging on the wall and walked out.

Halfway through the unitary hour, the heat subsided slightly, and Youning quietly came to the depths of the dense forest in the northeast corner of Suyue Park alone. Although the sun has set in the west, there is still a lot of light in the forest for Youning, and there is no obstacle to vision. The evening breeze lingered around Youning with a faint scent of cloves. After slowly absorbing a few breaths of the aroma, Youning felt that the restlessness in his heart calmed down a lot. After reaching a slightly spacious area, Youning stopped, took out a handkerchief from his chest, and blindfolded his eyes.

Thinking of the moves in the volume of "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique" he had obtained, You Ning drew his sword out of its sheath, and held the hilt of the sword in front of his chest with both hands on top of each other, and made a gesture.

Today he is going to practice the third form in this sword spectrum - "Long Knife Style". The first three styles of "Liuyun Sword Technique" are the sword style, the short knife style, and the long knife style. The sword style is relatively simple for Youning, but the short knife style is not understood, and Youning has pondered for a long time but has not been able to comprehend the mystery. Since Mingyue came to his senses, Youning has never found time to consult with his master, so he had to temporarily skip the "short knife style" and practice the "long knife style".

With his left foot slightly back, his feet about shoulder-width apart, Youning raised his sword with both hands and pointed forward. After a little luck, Youning slammed his left foot forward with a powerful push on the ground. Alternate feet and hands slash forward with the body. After about four or five slashes, You Ning suddenly changed his move, holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand, the tip of the sword pointing downward, swinging the sword from the bottom to the top to meet the attack, and then flipping his body, jumping up and kicking two roundhouse kicks in a row. After kicking two feet beautifully in the air, before he landed, Youning had already adjusted his body, from the bottom up, using the sword as a knife, with a flick of the wrist, and a backhand was a lore. After the lore, Youning landed steadily on the ground. The first move of the "long knife style" was practiced by You Ning without any sense of jerkiness.

Yu Ning, who was about to take off his handkerchief, suddenly moved his ears slightly, and then quickly turned around and swung a sword behind him. Hearing only the sound of "ding", Youning's sword was firmly clamped in the center by the other party's two fingers. When I removed the handkerchief from my eyes, I saw that it was Jiang Ming, who had not "spoken" properly to his master for many days, β€”β€”β€”β€” years. A little panicked to withdraw his sword, and Youning surrendered his hand to make compensation to his master.

Jiang Ming patted You Ning's shoulder with a kind face and said, "Why, are you still angry with the master because the master punished you for that incident?" ”

Youning shook his head very honestly.

"It's good not to blame the master. The master can't bear to punish you, but why don't you have any backbone! Childe asked you to take him away, and you agreed. After that, Childe let you die, do you have to die too! ”

Jiang Ming was just joking. Under the premise that there is no other means, how can such an oath of life and death be born between a master and servant who have only been together for a few months? To give the simplest example: even Song Youzhi, who has been with him for four years, if he does not have the control of the "Sanqi Pill", Jiang Ming has no confidence that he can be with him in life and death. Jiang Ming said this casually, and he didn't expect Youning to have any attitude. Which is the thought, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. After hearing Jiang Ming's joke, Yu Ning nodded solemnly.

This brought Jiang Ming's astonishment.

"Are you really willing to live and die with your son, and never give up?"

Youning nodded without hesitation.

"Well, that's fine. This is also a kind of fate. Jiang Ming continued with some pity: "In that case, You Ning, from now on you will be Gongzi's personal guard. You have to remember that you can only be Childe's personal bodyguard forever. Everything is based on the son, and there must be no selfish thoughts, otherwise it will harm both yourself and the child. You know! ”

Youning still nodded sincerely.

"Heyβ€”β€”β€”β€” you," Jiang Ming stopped talking a little, took a deep breath and changed the subject: "You have been hanging around me for the past few days, and you haven't been entangled when you see that I am busy, just because of the "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique", right?" ”

Jiang Ming changed the heaviness just now and led the topic to the sword spectrum. When You Ning heard this, her eyes lit up.

"This sword technique is the unpassed on method of our sect, and only those who are destined can learn it. However, I think you also know that it is not so much a fate as a sincere person. As long as the futon is broken, you can naturally see this swordsmanship. The master originally thought that it would take a few months for you to knock out this sword score, but he thought that you were more honest than the master. According to your current internal skills, it is a little early to learn this swordsmanship, but fortunately, your body is flexible, and you can make up for it. In this way, the teacher will start teaching you the content of this sword book from tomorrow. ”

When You Ning heard this, he grinned and was full of joy.

"Alright, it's time for dinner, let's go back. There is still something to do for the teacher, you can go back by yourself. ”

When You Ning saw his master say this, he saluted his master and turned around and walked towards his residence.

"It's a pity, seeing that the son fell in love with you, the master still wants to match the two of you. Childe is also a big boss, how can he be mixed with men all day long? Sooner or later, you have to have a companion. The master wanted to tell you that you are one and two, but you kid has to get into a dead end. When you find out the true gender of the childe, don't look for a teacher to cry your nose! ”
