Today, Wen Yinan read the letter from the senior brother Zhongli, and the master's voice and smile seemed to appear in front of him again.

Wen Yinan remembered a past incident three years ago.

Three years ago, taking the opportunity to go to Western Xinjiang on a mission, Wen Yinan went to Qingya Mountain Water Lotus Temple again to meet his master.

After many years, when Wen Yinan saw the master again, he found that the master had gray sideburns and was much older, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

And that day, when the Wuzhen Dao Master saw Wen Yinan, he was overjoyed, and his happy energy seemed to be much younger all of a sudden.

"Hey, Yinan, why didn't you wear the bronze sword I gave you?" Seeing that the sword hanging from Yi Nan's waist was not the bronze long sword of the year, the Wuzhen Dao Chief couldn't help but ask in wonder.

"Oh, master, that long sword is of great significance, it is an extraordinary thing, and the disciples do not dare to use it on weekdays, and only put it on the main hall of the house every day." Wen Yinan said.

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, the Wuzhen Dao Elder couldn't help laughing and said:

"Yours is the case. Well, I'm looking forward to the day when this sword will come in handy. ”

However, over the years, Wen Yinan has been accustomed to seeing the sinister officialdom in the security mansion, and what officials and officials do is either flattery, or deceiving superiors and subordinates, oppressing the people, and filling their pockets.

In the past three years, a lot of changes have happened, and the uncrowned battle with Fang Shuyun in the snowy night at the foot of Mount Tai made Wen Yinan, who has always been high-spirited, suffer an unprecedented shock in his heart.

After this battle, Wen Yinan recalled that his master had taught him many times what is the supreme realm of martial arts, what is the unity of heart and sword, what is to convince people with virtue, what is knowing how to fight and not fighting, and knowing how to win and not to win.

For these, Yinan, who is still young, has not had a deep understanding, but now, he finally has a deeper level of understanding.

It's no wonder that over the past few years, Wen Yinan has been proud of the rivers and lakes with a sharp sword, and has never met a real opponent.

However, on that snowy night, when facing Fang Shuyun, Wen Yinan felt fear for the first time, nervousness for the first time, frustration for the first time, and a deep understanding of the master's teachings for the first time.

It was from that time that Wen Yinan suddenly became tired of the swords and swords he was proud of in the past, and the competitive career in the rivers and lakes.

In the Baoan Mansion, under the lonely lamp, Wen Yinan pondered at the lamp. He remembered Fang Shuyun's allusion to "Orchid Pavilion Preface", and remembered a song poem:

"I want to ride the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the height is unbearable. Dance to figure out how the shadow seems to be in the world. ”

The first in the world is lonely, and those who are willing to be lonely are the first in the world.

It was another snowy night, Wen Yinan pretended to be sick, resigned from his job, and didn't know what to do.

It is also rumored that a riverside fisherman saw Wen Yinan wandering on the bank of the Xiaonan River in Xiaoshi Village, and then threw his sword in the river, and the sword pierced through the ice and sank into the bottom of the river.

Yes, Wen Yinan is now back in Xiaoshi Village, a remote and quiet small mountain village, dependent on his old mother, far away from world disputes, deceitful and deceitful, only plowing early and planting late every day, but also relaxed and happy.

Wen Yinan gently put down the letter, looked at the bronze long sword hanging on the wall, and secretly remembered the words of the master three years ago: "Then, I look forward to the day when this sword can come in handy." ”

"Can it come in handy? Master, the disciple followed you to learn swordsmanship hard, and he didn't dare to slack off a little, but now what kind of great use has it come in? Wen Yinan took off the bronze long sword and held it in his hand, looked at it for a long time, shook his head slightly, and hung it up again.

Approaching the Spring Festival, Gao Tang, who had not been to the door for a long time, came to visit his uncle Fang Yuan, and after sitting in the guest room, he asked his cousin and cousin are they there?

The owner of the village knew that these cousins had been playing together since childhood, and they had no guesses, and they had deep feelings, so he said with a smile: "Shi Yang went to the city to send agricultural goods, and I will send Shi Yao to meet you." After that, he told the maid Xiaoqian to invite the young lady over.

But said that Xiaoqian came to Shi Yao's boudoir, but saw that the young lady was looking at a pot of winter plums in front of the window in a daze, and a few lines of poetry on the rice paper on the bookcase had not dried yet, and the poem said:

White jade is also flawless

Zhumen rich family

Just say one good

It's not as good as Fanghua

Xiao Qian couldn't help but praise when she saw it: "A good sentence: 'Just say one kind is good, but it's not good!'" ’”

Shi Yao saw that it was Xiaoqian, so she asked what was the matter?

Xiao Qian said: "Young Master Gao Tang is here, sitting in the guest room, the master has invited the young lady over." ”

When Shi Yao heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that Gao Tang is here, I don't know if there is anything new to say, let's go quickly!" ”

After that, he took Xiaoqian's hand and came to the guest room together.

As soon as Shi Yao entered the door, she saw that it was indeed Gao Tang, so she smiled again: "Gao Tang, why did it take so long to come over this time?" Patronize and enjoy the blessings with your sister-in-law, right? ”

Gao Tang saw that it was Shi Yao, so he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Cousin is laughing again, isn't this son and I'm here?" ”

The old owner blamed on the side: "Shi Yao, when I saw my cousin, why is it still called Gao Tang and Gao Tang, it's really not big or small." ”

Xiao Qian listened to it and only smiled.

Shi Yao said yes again and again, so she changed her tone and asked: "Cousin, these days, are there any major events in the government and the opposition, and strange news in the world to hear?" ”

Gao Tang listened and said with a smile: "I really let my cousin say it, a while ago there was really a big thing that caused a sensation in the Central Plains." ”

When Shi Yao heard this, she was very excited and said, "Oh, then let's talk about it." ”

Gao Tang said: "It's okay to say, but I'll have to ask for my cousin's Mobao later." ”

When Shi Yao heard this, she hurriedly said: "Say it quickly, say it quickly, you will naturally be indispensable when the time comes." ”

So Gao Tang told in detail about the first sword Fang Shuyun in Beijun Taishan and the top blade thief Xi Mujuan, and later Wen Yinan of the Security Mansion who challenged Fang Shuyun.

Shi Yao listened, hid her face and smiled: "This Wen Yinan sounds interesting, is it because of this that he lost his errand?"

"Yes, why did this Wen Yinan resign?" The old farmer was also a little confused.

"Presumably, it was on the orders of the Yamen, and it was impossible to capture Fang Shuyun, so he couldn't make a deal." Gao Tang speculated.

"This 。。。。。。" When the old owner heard this, he still shook his head again and again.

"Does my cousin recognize this person?" Lu Shiyao asked curiously.

"I met at the Jizhou Martial Arts Conference back then, but I didn't talk to him." Gao Tang replied.

While he was talking, there was a commotion outside the door suddenly, and Zhuang Ding Luyang ran in panting and reported to the old owner:

"Oh no, owner, a group of robbers came out of nowhere, and the people in the courtyard of the village fought in the granary in the backyard!"
