Chapter 17: The Sword and the Man

Lone Star hurriedly looked back, it turned out that he unconsciously returned to the side of the previous evil tiger, he was careless for a while to forget it, Lone Star was secretly annoyed, but saw that it had already recovered some physical strength, at this time it had already pounced into the air, Lone Star had not yet recovered its combat strength, and it was too late to dodge, and his heart was horizontal and wanted to fight with this beast, but he saw that the animal was stunned and pounced on himself without moving, and he struggled to push the animal aside, Lone Star saw that Xiao Yue was standing in the distance leaning on the sword, and immediately knew what was going on, and his face couldn't help but show a few wisps of shame。

Lone Star came to Xiao Yue's side in a gray manner, Xiao Yue surprisingly didn't blame him, but just said lightly: "Pack up and go back." ”

"Go back! I've finally come out, why go back?" Lone Star was puzzled.

"Do you think there is any point in going on like this? I'm not asking you to fight for your life, if you still face every battle with this gambler mentality, I won't stop you, but the stakes are too big for me to gamble. ”

Xiao Yue looked up at the sky, and the whole person was indescribably lonely.

At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the girl's slightly raised face through the trees, harmonizing the girl's silhouette and losing the heart of the lone star.

Lone Star stood there for a long time, as if he was still struggling, pinching his knuckles blue, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh: "I know." ”

After speaking, he turned around, and there was no trace of nostalgia in his steps.

Xiao Yue looked at the young man's back, a little confused: "No arrogance but arrogance, rather than bend but can bend and stretch, see through but can't understand." ”

What kind of person are you, why can you see through it at a glance, but every time you give me a back that proves that I can't understand anything.

......

Lone Star stepped forward and dragged the tails of the two evil tigers, and put them on his shoulders, and suddenly felt a sinking body, his legs were almost pressed upright, these two tigers weighed a thousand pounds, and Lone Star felt that he was carrying two mountains, and it was difficult to move a bit, Xiaoyue saw this, and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Lone Star: "I killed it, and I carried it." ”

Xiao Yue smiled bitterly, and sure enough, this nerd was still competing with himself, so he simply ignored him and let him go.

Lone Star let out his words, naturally he didn't break his word, he shouted, his whole body was really angry, and his legs suddenly swayed like the wind, and he had rushed out about seven or eight zhang away in a short time, standing there gasping constantly, and when he recovered some physical strength, he repeated the old tricks, just like that, the road that could have been completed in a few hours was not until dawn the next day.

After entering the cave, Lone Star couldn't support it anymore, and fainted on the back of the tiger, Xiao Yueqiao's face flashed a trace of distress, and then pulled the wolf skin to cover him, and then sighed slightly and went into the sword.

Lone Star didn't wake up until the next morning, only to feel full of energy, and his true qi seemed to have improved a lot, thinking that yesterday's fight with himself was not all useless, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Now that I see those two tiger corpses again, I am no longer as disgusted as before.

"This beast is disgusting, but it is a treasure. ”

Tiger skin peeled off can be draped or lying, comfortable and generous, tiger meat is smooth and delicious, lips and teeth are fragrant, tiger bones into medicine and wine, can also be boiled and boiled soup, these three things, in their respective industries are all high-grade, they have spent so much effort, but it is not a loss.

Lone Star took a breath, took out a dagger from the package, peeled off the tiger skin little by little, and cleaned up the tiger meat and dried it. The tiger bones were put into the empty wine jar, mixed with water, and Lone Star made a stand with his hand, set up the jar, and then took some tiger meat and put it inside, lit a fire, and immediately waited for it to come out of the pot.

Although there was no seasoning, Lone Star still ate with relish, the previous battle consumed too much physical strength, and at this time, there was such a rare tonic, he wanted to swallow all the bones.

After he ate and wiped clean, Xiao Yue slowly came out of the sword, obviously not sleeping well, and was looking tired at the moment: "Idiot, do you want to learn the sword?"

Lone Star almost thought she was talking in her sleep, and he wanted to learn it as early as when he broke the seal, but Satsuki had been unwilling to teach her before.

"Yes, of course!" he nodded hurriedly,

"Well, from today onwards, take this sword and don't let it go for a moment. Satsuki yawned and said lazily.

Lone Star felt that she was talking in a dream, how could she teach people like this, and wanted to ask again, where is there still Xiaoyue's shadow, and picked up the sword on the ground with a wry smile, Lone Star had no choice but to do it, but in his heart he really didn't think that he could learn swordsmanship just by holding it like this.

Xiao Yue felt that she was really tired, it seemed that she would have to restrain herself in the future, so frequently entering and leaving the virtual and real worlds, it was really unbearable, thinking about it, she became sleepy, and finally fell asleep uncontrollably.

This sleep is three days. When she woke up, she saw Lone Star sleeping peacefully, still holding her sword tightly in her hand.

"This idiot is obedient, but I don't know if I can understand my intentions. Xiao Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and after laughing, she felt a little distressed.

In the dark, Xiao Yue looked at the sleeping Lone Star and lost her mind for a while, in a trance, she felt that she and Lone Star seemed to know each other and didn't seem to know each other, but she really didn't understand why she felt this way, so far, the only thing she can be sure of is that she is not because of the identity of the sword spirit, or that she must have other identities before becoming a sword spirit, but I don't know what happened in the middle, she lost her original memory, and to get back this memory, there is only one way, become stronger, and constantly make Lone Star stronger, he was born with a sword, so whether he can recover the lost memory, as the sword master, Lone Star has a great responsibility。

Sometimes, Xiao Yue really feels very sorry for Lone Star, why is she not using him, and from then on, let him embark on the road of no return that is destined to be bloody. However, she really didn't want to live in a mess for the rest of her life, she also wanted to know who she was, and since she already owed him a life, she simply owed a fulfillment.

"Idiot, what time has it been, do you still want to learn swordsmanship?" As soon as the morning dawned, Lone Star was called by Xiao Yue.

"Huh, swordsmanship!"

As soon as he heard the words swordsmanship, Lone Star suddenly came to his senses: "Learn, of course learn!"

In this way, the two of them came to the cultivation ground again, and without waiting for Lone Star to speak, Xiao Yue asked, "Idiot, how do you feel about holding your sword in your hand for three days?"

Lone Star thought about it carefully, and after a long time, he shook his head again: "I don't feel anything." ”

Satsuki seemed to have expected Lone Star to say this, and didn't blame anything, but then asked, "Then what did you think about when you took the sword?"

Lone Star still shook his head: "Didn't think about anything. After speaking, he saw that Xiao Yue's face had changed a little, and Lone Star suddenly thought that he had done something wrong again: "Did I do something wrong again?"

Xiao Yue shook her head and said, "Forget it, you can go back." "But ......"

"No, but. Xiao Yue interrupted Lone Star's words and said lightly: "When do you feel it, understand, I'll teach you again." ”

Lone Star opened his mouth, but finally didn't ask, and left with a thoughtful face, he understood that there are some things, no matter how much others say, it is useless, and he can only rely on himself. Xiao Yue didn't say it, obviously she wanted to understand it herself, so why should she ask again.

Sure enough, Xiao Yue saw that Lone Star wanted to ask but didn't ask, and a hint of relief flashed on her pretty face.

"How did you feel when you held the sword, what did you think?" In the cave, Lone Star recalled the question asked by Satsuki and meditated.

"What will I think?" After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a clue, and suddenly looked at the sword in his hand with some annoyance: "Really! What can a broken sword think!"

After speaking, he was slightly stunned and said, "Strange, why should I lose my temper with a sword? Isn't the sword a dead thing? I know it can't be heard, why should I talk to it?" Thinking of this, he seemed to understand a little.

Yes, the reason why I lost my temper with it was precisely because I didn't treat it as a dead thing at that moment, but a person who lived like myself, and people can only express their joys, sorrows, and sorrows to people, does Xiao Yue want me to understand this?

Lone Star immediately denied his idea, impossible, this is ridiculous. But then I thought about Satsuki, if the sword had no life, how did Satsuki exist. If you don't admit that the sword has life, isn't it a denial of Satsuki's existence.

Thinking of this, Lone Star tightened the sword in his hand again, closed his eyes and recalled the throbbing when he first got the sword, and seemed to understand something.

"Say something?" Xiao Yue asked naturally when she saw Lone Star coming back, without the slightest surprise on her face.

"The sword is also alive. ”

A hint of shame flashed across Lone Star's face: "When I held it, I never regarded it as a living being like me, so I don't deserve to be its master." ”

"So what?" asked Xiao Yue again, her face still not sad or happy, and she couldn't show the depth.

"I'll stay with it until it agrees with me. Lone Star said categorically, his tone full of unquestionable flavor.

Looking at the back of Lone Star's departure, Xiao Yue looked at the sky a little distracted, and muttered: "Whether it is a sword or a person, it is just the product of mutual use, the difference is that some people are only born for swords, and some swords are only ...... because of people."

Xiao Yue's slightly sad emotion for a while was quite intriguing, but what she didn't know was that after she said this, the sword in Lone Star's hand trembled slightly, and she quickly regained her calm. But Lone Star felt it, if he only believed it a little just now, then now he is convinced. Xiao Yue fulfilled him by mistake, I'm afraid that even Xiao Yue herself didn't expect it
