Chapter 10: Xiao He
"Crazy talk." Yun Zhenren didn't care: "After I left Yunkong Mountain, many people wanted me to die, and now only I am still alive." Unless a man from the mountain or a god appears, who can kill me? ”
"The real man said yes." The old dwarf chimed in.
"Anything else, did the madwoman say anything?" Yun Zhenren asked.
"She stared at the hexagram for a long time before she died, and she said......"
The old slave relayed the words of the pre-master before his death to Yun Zhenren, and also unfolded a painting to show him, Yun Zhenren looked at the painting, shook his head disdainfully, and said "crazy words".
Wang Erguan pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and he pretended to be respectful and walked behind Yun Zhenren to glance at the content of the painting.
His eyes lit up, and he was determined to go back to Ji Luoyang and tell them what he had seen.
……
The courtyard was quiet.
Ji Luoyang was sitting in front of the courtyard wall meditating, practicing the mental method, while Lin Shouxi and Xiao He were sitting on the edge of the cliff watching the clouds.
In the tranquility, Xiao He's hands were folded on his slender calves, his body was slightly sideways, and his little head was resting on Lin Shouxi's shoulder.
The mountain breeze blows, and the dappled light and shadow sway on the dark blue skirt.
Since she fell asleep leaning on Lin Shouxi's body that day, Xiao He has often leaned on him like this.
"By the way, I felt very warm in my sleep that day, you ...... Did you do something to me? Xiao He just remembered this.
"Hmm." Lin Shouxi nodded calmly.
"What did you do?" Xiao He's heart tightened, and he hugged his shoulders with his arms.
"I've got a dress for you." Lin Shouxi said.
"Just a dress?"
"Hmm."
Xiao He didn't believe it in her heart, she always felt that he was hiding something from herself, thinking like this, the girl closed her eyes again and leaned on his shoulder.
An hour later, the girl opened her eyes and looked at him resentfully, "Why don't you put your clothes on me?" ”
"Because you're pretending to be asleep to test me." Lin Shouxi said truthfully.
"You ......" Xiao He felt a little dizzy, and she said unhappily: "Dull." ”
"Time shouldn't be spent doing such meaningless things." Lin Shouxi taught: "Miss Xiaohe, practice hard, and in the end, the only one who can protect our safety is ourselves." ”
"Aren't you the most laid-back?" The girl was not convinced.
"I'm working hard all the time." Lin Shouxi is colorful.
"Really?" Xiao He expressed surprise, she looked at Lin Shouxi and asked, "Are you practicing all the time?" ”
Lin Shouxi shook his head, "It's healing." ”
"......" Xiao He was silent for a moment, not knowing how to refute.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you, what was the name of the sect you were before, looking at your appearance, you should be from a famous and authentic family, right?" Xiao He diverted the topic, so as not to continue to be angry with him.
"Hehuan Sect." Lin Shouxi rarely told the truth.
Xiao He was stunned, and then smiled: "Just said that you were stupid, and you joked with me?" What a rebellion. ”
"I didn't lie to you."
"If that's true, a disciple like you is the scum of the sect, and he will be expelled from the sect."
"I am an excellent disciple."
"Don't believe it...... Didn't you say you were sweeping the floor last time? Besides, if you were really from the Hehuan Sect, with your appearance, you would have been arrested by the senior sisters a long time ago. Xiao He narrowed his eyes, like a kitten who was only curious about everything.
"No, the senior sisters are very good to me." Lin Shouxi said seriously.
"Good? Well...... How nice is that? Xiao He suddenly became nervous.
Lin Shouxi looked at her and suddenly smiled: "You also have a strange smell on you." ”
"Huh?" Xiao He sniffed himself, shook his head slightly, and muttered, "How can there be......"
Then, she reacted and said angrily, "I'm not jealous." ”
Xiao He blushed and ran back to the yard.
Lin Shouxi couldn't help but smile when he looked at her shy appearance of hiding her face and leaving.
By the time Lin Shouxi returned to the courtyard, Xiao He's door had been closed tightly, and the black birds were stopping on the ridge of the roof and calling, as if they were laughing at his incomprehensible feelings.
"Do you want to practice swords?" Ji Luoyang saw Lin Shouxi coming back and handed over a wooden sword.
"Okay." Lin Shouxi did not shirk.
"It took me a long time to pick two pieces of wood that are still usable, so be careful when you use them, lest the sword break." Ji Luoyang reminded.
"I'm measured." Lin Shouxi said.
Lin Shouxi clenched his sword.
Even the wooden sword brought him some peace of mind.
The two teenagers stood opposite each other, their bodies at the same time, and the wooden swords collided together in an instant.
Ji Luoyang's figure was much faster, and the sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake, slashing and stabbing around Lin Shouxi, constantly attacking. Lin Shouxi's range of movements was much smaller, but his sword movements were clean and neat, and he was always able to intercept the key points of Ji Luoyang's offensive and force him back again and again.
After several rounds of fighting, the figures of the two men re-staggered.
They didn't decide who they would.
"Every time you draw, you won't let me, right?" Ji Luoyang sighed.
"It's clear that you took care of my injuries and didn't go all out." Lin Shouxi said.
"You see that?"
"Hmm."
"Alas, your swordsmanship is the most beautiful I've ever seen, I really hope your injuries will heal soon, and we will have a hearty fight." Ji Luoyang said.
"I want to, too." Lin Shouxi handed him back the wooden sword.
"Take this wooden sword, it's a greeting gift." Ji Luoyang said generously.
"Thank you." Lin Shouxi did not push.
"Hey, take the short hand, do you still have any swordsmanship at the bottom of the box, let's take a look?" Ji Luoyang asked.
"No, I did my best." Lin Shouxi said.
"Okay." Ji Luoyang didn't ask: "Since that's the case, then you take care of your injuries, and we'll compare next time." ”
Lin Shouxi nodded.
The two sat down at the stone table, and after breathing, Ji Luoyang looked at Xiao He's closed door and said curiously: "Are you making the little girl angry again?" ”
"She said she was sleepy and went back to her room to sleep." Lin Shouxi said calmly.
"Do you really like her?" Ji Luoyang gossiped.
"I ...... Don't hate her. Lin Shouxi said.
"That little girl is really clingy, and follows you all day long." Ji Luoyang said: "But I still don't think you will like her." ”
"Why?" Lin Shouxi asked suspiciously.
"This girl is young, with a mediocre figure, and her appearance is only delicate, not as good-looking as you, I always feel that you are not a good match." Ji Luoyang lowered his voice and said, "Of course, don't tell her this." ”
"What?" Lin Shouxi felt very strange: "I think she is very beautiful." ”
"Beautiful? You've broken your brain, haven't you? Or ......" Ji Luoyang quipped: "Or is it in the eyes of a lover, oh, don't you really like her?" ”
Comely? Not as good as me?
Really......
Lin Shouxi was sure that he didn't break his brain, and in terms of his aesthetics, that Xiao He Shao's childish teeth and white hair were like snow, and he could definitely be regarded as a beautiful embryo that captivated the country and the city.
No!
Wait a minute......
It's like ice slag is coming out of the blood, and the chill is penetrating the whole body along the spine!
In the past few days, Lin Shouxi has always felt that something is wrong, but he has never known what the source of his feelings is, until this moment, he finally caught that thought!
"What's wrong with you?" Ji Luoyang asked.
Lin Shouxi just wanted to confirm his thoughts, but Wang Erguan swaggered in.
"Yo, what about secretly practicing swords behind my back? Why, when I saw Yun Zhenren seeing me alone, I was jealous and worked hard? Wang Erguan sat down beside them, twisting the ring on his hand intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that they would not see it.
"What did Yun Zhenren say to you?" Ji Luoyang asked.
"Yun Zhenren said that he wanted to train me to be the waiter of the eldest prince, and he also gave me this treasure." Wang Erguan showed off.
Ji Luoyang casually said congratulations.
Wang Erguan smiled and nodded, and then he looked at Lin Shouxi and found that Lin Shouxi was lowering his head, his face gloomy as water.
What kind of attitude is this? Wang Er was dissatisfied, he talked with Ji Luoyang for a while, and told him how yin the Wu family was, and how many treasures in the pavilion were.
Ji Luoyang was amazed and very cooperative.
Wang Erguan said again and again, while observing Lin Shouxi, he found that he was absent-minded, and his heart was even more annoyed, he coughed and said in a mysterious tone:
"Those were just small things, and I went there this time, and I learned some incredible secrets."
"What's the secret?" Ji Luoyang asked.
Lin Shouxi also raised his head and expressed some interest.
Wang Erguan then began to say: "It is said that the Wu family has a preparatory master, do you know what a preparatory teacher is? It's the wizard in charge of divination, and I think it's the witch character who has violated the taboo of the witch family, so he changed his name to the pre-master......"
"The pre-master is a crazy woman, she died yesterday." Wang Erguan said in a low voice: "It is said that before the madwoman died, she took a hexagram and took a lot of things. ”
"I don't want to believe that." Ji Luoyang said.
"Don't believe me?" Wang Erguan shook his head and said, "Those who leak the heavenly machine will be damned, and the old woman must have died violently after leaking the heavenly machine." ”
"So what the hell is she occupying?" Lin Shouxi asked.
Wang Erguan looked around for a while, and after confirming that there was no one, he lowered his neck, approached them, and whispered:
"There are two things in the divination, one is that Yun Zhenren is going to die and is killed."
"Who can kill this monster?" Ji Luoyang shook his head.
"Hmm...... What about the other one? Lin Shouxi asked.
"Another thing...... "Wang Erguan is even more mysterious, "The other thing is that the Wu family is going to be in chaos." ”
"The Wu family is going to be in chaos?" Ji Luoyang was taken aback, "Is it related to the person who killed the god of the town guard?" ”
"I don't know, but before she died, the madwoman claimed to have seen the figure of the source of the trouble, and she spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and drew the vague appearance of the figure." Wang Erguan said coldly: "I saw that painting, and it was a female ghost!" ”
"Female ghosts?"
"Yes, female ghost!" Wang Erguan said: "That crazy woman drew the figure of a young girl, and the shadow alone is frighteningly beautiful, and the most bizarre thing is ......"
Wang Erguan paused and lowered his voice, "The weirdest thing is that the girl is still full of white hair!" ”
"Gray hair? Is there still a white-haired little girl in this world, I'm afraid it's the old witch who changed it, right? Ji Luoyang frowned.
"That's why I said, it must be a female ghost." Wang Erguan said, inadvertently glancing at Lin Shouxi.
The little fat man was stunned.
I saw that Lin Shouxi, who was usually not interested in anything, seemed to be seriously ill at the moment, his pupils shrank, and his face was so pale that he couldn't see a trace of blood!
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Scared stupefied? Wang Erguan shook his shoulder.
Lin Shouxi came back to his senses slightly, and he was about to speak, when the girl's crisp and moving voice sounded behind him:
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
Xiao He didn't know when he stood behind him, his eyes were like ice and snow.
