Ding Sanshi stared at Lin Beichen's face and took a full breath.

"I used to trust people easily, but I was betrayed many times. ”

He looked at the young men and girls who were still picking swords in front of the square stone table in the distance, and said, "Didn't you just ask me if I was also born in Baiyun City?"

Lin Beichen nodded: "Tell your story." ”

Ding Sanshi was stunned, and immediately slapped Lin Beichen's head fiercely, and said, "You little bastard, can't you be serious? The sad atmosphere I just created was shattered by you." ”

Lin Beichen smiled shyly and said: "The things of the past should be regarded as the past, just talk about things well, don't be immersed in them, great literary ...... Kendo master Lu Xun once said that a true warrior dares to face the bleak life and dare to face the dripping blood. ”

"Lu Xun?"

Ding Sanshi said suspiciously: "Why haven't I heard of this name?" However, to be able to say such a thing, it should be a real master. ”

Lin Beichen rubbed his eyebrows with his middle finger and said, "Go on, Lao Ding, are you really from Baiyun City?"

Ding Sanshi stood up from his seat and said, "You come with me." ”

He walked towards the pond in the back garden.

Lin Beichen dragged the big silver sword, the tip of the sword rubbed against the stone slab, the fire was shining, and the sparks and lightning all the way came to the edge of the pool.

Ding Sanshi looked at him speechlessly.

Lin Beichen smiled and simply stuck the big silver sword aside.

"Actually, sixteen years ago, there were five famous swords in Baiyun City, not the current three famous swords. Ding Sanshi said: "It's just that later due to some changes, one of the five famous swords, one person died, and the other person was expelled from Baiyun City. ”

"That person, is it Lao Ding?"

Lin Beichen asked.

Ding Sanshi nodded: "You guessed it so quickly." ”

Nonsense.

Lin Beichen complained in his heart.

It's all played like this in TV dramas.

"My master is one of the seven great heirs of contemporary Baiyun City, [Baiyun Sword Immortal] Mo Youqian, originally the first successor in Baiyun City, but in order to keep me, he took the initiative to give up the position of the city lord, I wandered within the empire, and finally settled in Yunmeng City, according to the agreement of the year, only when I cultivate a kendo genius that is comparable to the five famous sword masters who died back then, I will be qualified to return to Baiyun City and see my master again. ”

Ding Sanshi briefly recounted the antecedents.

"The senior brother of the five famous swords, did he die because of you?"

Lin Beichen Road.

Ding Sanshi said: "It's very complicated, but if you say that you died because of me, it's not wrong." ”

Deep in Lin Beichen's heart, he has a heart of gossip and is ready to move.

But when he thought of being too curious at this time, he inevitably disrespected Lao Ding, so he had to say, "You love your senior brother very much?"

Ding Sanshi nodded, and said with deep emotion: "The reason why the five famous swords can stand out in Baiyun City and can be famous in the Beihai Empire is because of Senior Brother, he is the most brilliant one, and the proudest one, and the one who has always taught us and spurred us, without him, there would be no us, for the four of us, Senior Brother is not only a brother, but also half a master and half a father." ”

"Oh. ”

I don't know why, in Lin Beichen's mind, Shen Fei's shadow suddenly appeared.

That young man, who was once regarded as a half-master and half-brother by Shuangbi, a junior student of the National Royal Junior Student, trusted him a lot, even after Shen Fei clearly fell into the demon, he overcame the fear in his heart and went to support him, but he was devoured by Shen Fei, who was enchanted, and ate it cleanly, and even the Tao and Li families were involved, at this time, I was afraid that the family had been ruined.

As for the specific causes and consequences of that year, Lin Beichen did not ask again.

Although he was very curious, he obviously didn't want his questioning, like a hand that was superficially kind but actually vicious, to rudely open and tear Ding Sanshi's barely scabbed scar that had gone through the vicissitudes of time, so that the heart-wrenching scar hidden below was exposed again.

"I heard Director Chu Zhen say that Cao Potian is your former disciple?"

Lin Beichen asked curiously, "When you chose him back then, you wanted to cultivate him into a genius comparable to that senior brother, so that you could return to Baiyun City?"

Ding Sanshi said: "Yes, Chu Chen's big mouth will tell you everything." ”

After a pause, Ding Sanshi said again: "Back then, the master tried his best to protect me, but the other three junior brothers were able to forgive me, and made a sword test appointment every three years, and would bring his own heirs to Yunmeng City to test my results, among them, Senior Brother Bai hated me the most, because he admired Senior Brother the most, regarded Senior Brother as his idol, and even more regarded him as his own brother, so every time he tried the sword, Senior Brother Bai was the most active......

I see.

Lin Beichen suddenly realized.

"Three years ago, Senior Brother Bai came to Yunmeng City, saw Cao Potian, and was also moved by his talent, so he lured him with profit, so that Potian chose to worship under his door and become a member of Baiyun City. ”

Ding Sanshi briefly described what happened three years ago.

Lin Beichen habitually rubbed his eyebrows with his middle finger, and said: "Bai Haiqin's apprentice vision is too bad, then Cao Potian is not a good bird, if you can betray Lao Ding because of interests, then you will betray him because of interests, and even betray Baiyun City in the future." ”

Ding Sanshi did not answer this question.

He looked at the moon reflected in the water of the pond, and his thoughts seemed to return to the old days.

Stretched out his hand and took out a small wooden carving the size of a child's fist from his arms, the carving is an old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, fairy wind and bones, dressed in a simple white cloud pattern robe, with a clear appearance, with a three-point smile, white long eyebrows and shoulders, at a glance, there is a kind of worldly master's momentum.

"Is this Lao Ding, your master who gave up his power to protect you?"

Lin Beichen asked casually.

Ding Sanshi nodded: "It's his old man." ”

Lin Beichen subconsciously said: "His old man's name is Mo Youqian? ”

Syllable.

Ding Sanshi raised his hand and gave Lin Beichen a fried chestnut, and said, "How can you talk about the ancestor?"

Lin Beichen covered his head and said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say that we don't know each other?"

"Didn't you say that one day is a teacher and a father for life?"

"I regret it now, you, the master, didn't give me any apprenticeship gifts. ”

"Hehe, you've stepped on my thief ship, and the cabin has been welded to death for you, and you still want to get off the ship?"

"Haha, hey, Master, I see that there seems to be a statue in your arms, who is that? Is it Master Uncle?"

"It's not...... Phew, nonsense, where are the statues, there are no more. ”

"I saw ......"

Syllable!

"Ouch, if you can't say it, you'll hit someone. ”

Under Lin Beichen's deliberate ridicule, the atmosphere gradually became lively and funny, and Ding Sanshi's mood was much better.

It was at this time that the boys' selection of swords finally ended, and the others also chose their own swords.
