Chapter 19: The Eve of the Decisive Battle
The agarwood bracelet has not been found, but there has been no special situation in the ghost valley in the past two days, and it is very calm. Xiao Han's illness was cured quickly, Ning Shuang was clamoring to ask Xiao Han to accompany her to practice swords, Guiguzi taught all the hundred steps flying sword to Gai Nie within two days, Gai Nie learned very quickly, and he had basically mastered it in two days.
The night before the decisive battle, Xiao Han sat in the room, thinking about the incident three days ago, and she now wondered if she had triggered the root of the disease in the patient's body and killed others, but the root of this disease was obviously not ordinary.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Xiao Han asked.
"Gaine."
"The door is not closed," Xiao Han watched Gai Nie enter the house and said, "Nie'er, you don't sleep so late, you have to compete tomorrow." ”
"I just couldn't sleep because of the competition."
"What are you worried about?" Xiao Han looked at Gai Nie, who was sitting beside him, and said, "You are already better than Second Brother Zhuang, and now you have learned a hundred steps to fly the sword, what else is there to worry about?" ”
"I'm worried about you," Gai Nie took Xiao Han's hand and put it in his palm, "After the decisive battle, I will go down the mountain, and I don't know when I will be able to come back and take you away." ”
"It's okay, don't worry about me, I'm still waiting for you to marry me away in a beautiful way after you become a big deal," Xiao Han rested his head on Gai Nie's shoulder, "No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you." ”
Gai Nie nodded, remembering something, he took out a dark green jade pendant from the pocket of his arms, there was a hole in the middle of the round jade pendant, a fire phoenix was engraved on the back, and a flying dragon was engraved on the front, although the fire phoenix and the flying dragon were on both sides, but they flew towards each other, on this small jade pendant, the fire phoenix and the flying dragon were carved very exquisitely and vividly.
"This was left to me by my mother," Gai Nie scratched his head and said, "My mother said that when I married my daughter-in-law in the future, I would take out this piece of jade, and most people would agree, and this is how my father deceived my mother." ”
Xiao Han sneered and laughed: "Now it's my turn," she took the jade pendant from Gai Nie's hand and looked at it carefully, such a jade pendant should not be something that an ordinary person can have, "It's so beautiful, then I'll take it." ”
Xiao Han took out a dark blue thread from the drawer and put it in the small ring on the jade pendant and put it around his neck: "Is it good-looking?" ”
Gai Nie stared straight at the jade pendant, because the jade was worn on Xiao Han's body, which was completely different from the one he wore on his mother back then.
"It's glowing!" Gai Nie pointed to the jade pendant and said.
Xiao Han looked down at the jade pendant, not only was it glowing with a faint green light, but the flying dragon and the fire phoenix on it seemed to move, chasing each other on the jade pendant.
Gai Nie stepped forward and took her hand, looking down into her eyes: "Xiaohan, you are very different from ordinary girls, I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse." During my absence, you must protect yourself," he looked at the jade pendant hanging on Xiao Han's chest, "May it bless you." ”
After saying goodbye to Gai Nie and Xiao Han, they went back to prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle, Xiao Han turned off the lights and fell asleep.
On the fourth watch, Xiao Han's door opened a crack, and Gai Nie quietly slipped into the house, leaving a piece of bamboo on the table, and turned around to leave, but still turned around and walked towards Xiao Han's bed.
Xiao Han slept soundly, with a gentle smile on his face. Gai Nie lowered his head and kissed his forehead, then left.
Xiao Han opened his eyes, and all that was left was an empty room. Tears rolled down her eyes.
Nie'er, this goodbye may be difficult to see again. I will always wait for you, I don't know if you can always leave your heart to me.
She pursed her lips and didn't want to cry, but it was difficult to control it. Uncontrollable tears wet her hair scattered on the pillow, and she sobbed and sobbed alone.
"Xiao Han, he's gone." Guiguzi stood outside the door and said.
Xiao Han was slowly calming down, she wiped away her tears, lit the oil lamp on the table, opened the door, and let Guiguzi enter.
Guiguzi saw Xiao Han's ruddy eyes, didn't say anything, and sat on the stool, with a sadness on his face.
"Daddy, I'm fine." Xiao Han raised his eyes and saw Guiguzi's sadness, and wanted to reassure him.
"Nie Er should have decided a long time ago to leave at this time, and no one can stop them if these two children want to do it."
Xiao Han picked up the bamboo piece that Gai Nie left for her from the table, and it said: I don't want to fight with Xiao Zhuang, so I went down the mountain in advance and waited for me to come back.
"I have already arranged for someone to stop Xiaozhuang tomorrow, and the delay is a moment," Guiguzi touched his beard.
"I will let Ning Shuang hide and let her leave with Second Brother Zhuang afterwards," Xiao Han looked at the white-haired Guiguzi and said, "Daddy, we can actually hide." ”
"I really want you to hide with Frost, but," Guiguzi closed his eyes to hide his uneasy eyes, "There are some things that you can't hide from at all, so it's better to face it directly." ”
"Daddy, you can hide, this matter has nothing to do with Daddy, you leave with Shuang'er, I'll stay and face it."
"Xiao Han, every generation of Guiguzi has to live in this place for the rest of their lives, and for them, it is to go home," Guiguzi took Xiao Han into his arms, "When Daddy is away, Xiao Han must be strong, and with Xiao Han's martial arts, he will definitely be able to protect himself in this troubled world." ”
Xiao Han was very sad when she lay in Guiguzi's arms, but she found that she could not do anything but wait for the arrangement of fate.
The two of them were speechless and calmed down.
Guiguzi saw the jade pendant that Xiao Han was wearing on his chest: "Where did you get this jade pendant?" ”
"Nie'er gave it to me."
"I've seen it." Guiguzi looked at Yu Pei and recalled the past.
"Daddy taught Nie Er a hundred steps to fly the sword, is it not just for me, for him?"
Guiguzi touched Xiao Han's hair: "Do you remember the senior brother who was buried in the back mountain by me?" ”
Xiao Han nodded.
"I owe him a favor in my life, and I can only pay it back to his son."
Xiao Han's eyes widened in surprise: "But they are so different in personality. ”
Guiguzi smiled: "In my eyes, it's the same, my senior brother also went down the mountain in advance on the eve of the three-year period, just like Nie Er." ”
"Why?"
"None of them want to do anything to their peers, and that's a big mistake on their part. A lack of determination means a lost opportunity. At that time, neither of us could learn a hundred steps to fly the sword, but he gave up early and left the opportunity to me, and I owe him this favor. ”
"But how could such a person attack Master Zhang Yi?"
"Back then, it was the master who begged him to do it."
Guiguzi told Xiao Han all the most precious memories, and let Xiao Han know the past events in this ghost valley.
"The jade pendant you are wearing is the reward that Senior Brother got in the competition in the Qi Kingdom back then. Jade is a spiritual thing, and wearing it on you will have such an effect, so he must not know it. ”
The sky outside was dark, and Xiao Han couldn't help but ask the most critical question: "Daddy, why did that person have to come to me?" ”
"You'll know." Guiguzi ordered Xiaohan's sleeping hole, and she fell asleep quietly in Guiguzi's arms.
The real decisive battle is coming.
