Lifting the sword into the rivers and lakes Chapter 2 Grass House Night Talk

The young man's smile seemed to have been dissipated in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his wine was deep, so he quickly withdrew, holding the arm of the black shadow and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, you also said that it has been three years, not to mention that I have gained some insights in the past three years of travel, even if I have not traveled far and have been practicing in the mountains, I will see you make these few knives every day, even if you can't resist it, you can escape under your 'desperate three knives'." ”

"Young master, my old bones, I can only play with these few knives, the master has sensed that the young master has returned, and the old slave is specially ordered to try how to cultivate the young master...... Ahem, ahem! Uncle Li's eyes were full of gentleness when he looked at the young man, which was completely different from the momentum when Shi Cai used the three knives, but he was red from the snake-shaped scar on his coughing face.

The young man hurriedly held Uncle Li with one hand, caressed the back of Uncle Li's heart with his palm, and passed his own internal breath into Uncle Li's body, so that Uncle Li's dry cough was alleviated.

"Ahem, ahem, the young master can't waste his efforts for the old slave, ahem, ahem, I'm an old disease." Uncle Li coughed dryly, and hurriedly spoke to dissuade the young man from recuperating for himself.

"I knew that I would have recognized Uncle Li earlier, and I shouldn't have competed for a while and fought with Uncle Li." The young man looked at Uncle Li, full of guilt.

Uncle Li had also calmed down at this time, his cough was slightly calm, and he said: "My problem has nothing to do with whether I fight with the young master, I fought with people when I was young, injured my heart and lungs, and was not treated in time, and then I fell to the root of the disease, and I couldn't eradicate it with my master for all these years, and I could only alleviate it with the master's mental method." In previous years, there were only occasional occurrences, but in the past two years, the dry cough is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and the dry cough does not stop when it is ugly every day. By the way, young master, just now the old slave and the young master fought, seeing that the young master's internal breath is calm, and the internal force is free, has he stepped into the hall? ”

The young man helped Uncle Li to recuperate his internal breath, and when he saw that the dry cough had been alleviated, he withdrew his internal strength, helped Uncle Li and said: "Uncle Li, it is freezing outside, and your dry cough has been alleviated, but this weather is not good for your body after all, let's hurry back to Shizun Caolu to see Shizun first, and then talk about other things." After that, the young man hurriedly helped Uncle Li, took off the fur fur on his body, ignored Uncle Li's objections, put it on Uncle Li, and went to the grass house in the distance.

In the snowy night, the winter wind is stronger, howling, one young and one old, one young and one dai, two figures in the vast snow towards the light not far away.

A tea time, the two have reached the front of the grass house, said that it is a grass house, but there are many rooms in the main room and ear room around, there is a courtyard, the outer wooden door seems to know that the two are near, has been opened, but by the cold winter wind blowing the fan sound, the young man helped Uncle Li into the grass house, and quickly closed the door.

At this time, Uncle Li's eyes signaled to the young man, and the young man looked at Uncle Li's eyes, and the main indoor light of the grass house was on, like a trace of warmth in this snowy night, warming the young man's heart of perseverance after three years of experience.

"Young master, the old slave went to get some food and drink for the young master, this way, there is no foot shop inn, you must be hungry and thirsty, the master is waiting for you to return." Lao Li gently patted the young man who was stunned by the lights of the main house of the grass house and said: "The master has often been distracted by the house where you live since you went down the mountain after your training, although you have a small success in the realm at that time, it is more than enough to deal with some rivers and lakes, but he always mentions to me from time to time, although Xiao Er's martial arts are small, but when he meets a real master, he doesn't know whether to deal with it, which shows that he is worried about you in his heart, go and meet him." ”

The young man heard Uncle Li's words, remembered that he didn't know his parents, and the master and Uncle Li raised themselves single-handedly, which was difficult and ordinary people didn't know, his heart was pantothenic and his eyes were red, he stepped forward quickly, lightly buckled the door, and then lifted up his clothes and knelt in front of the door: "Master, Gu Xiao obeyed the order of the master, and traveled down the mountain for three years. ”

"Squeak~", before Gu Xiao knelt down, the door was blown open by a stream of true qi, and the true qi poured into Gu Xiao's side, Gu Xiao only felt that this true qi was as soft as a spring breeze, and he was surrounded by true qi and held up, and his kneeling body was naturally held up by true qi.

"When I went down the mountain, I was over the year of dancing spoons, and now it is only three years, and within a hundred zhang, Lao Li has not perceived your snow seven fathoms, forging your body and strengthening your body for the first time, and entering the house with one person; The realm of ascending to the hall has been solidified, and after three years of training, with this diligence, it must have suffered a lot," the person in the room said softly.

Although the voice was soft, it was clear to the ears, Gu Xiao heard the sound of the master into the secret, entered the house and closed the door, only to see the incense burner and tea set, the desk and the couch, in the past few years, as when he went down the mountain three years ago, he had not added a new object.

The person sitting behind the desk, his nose was like a gall, his eyebrows were like shooting stars, his black hair was tied up and draped behind him at will, as he was three years ago, only a few gorgeous hairs on his sideburns and the long beard under his chin had turned slightly white, which made Gu Xiao feel that three years had passed, Shizun's eyes were still as sharp as before, as if they were penetrating people's hearts and lungs, Xuanqing's robe was draped casually, his left sleeve was hanging in the air, he was holding a deerskin wine bag in one hand, half leaning on the tea chair behind him, looking at himself with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Master, I, not only have I suffered hardships, in the past three years, I have traveled through the thirteen counties in the north." Gu Xiao waved his hand again and again, not wanting the master to see the tears in his eyes, squeezing out a smile and squeezing out a look of having suffered a lot of grievances after going down the mountain, pouting and saying: "I just went down the mountain and arrived in Liangzhou City, I was deceived and entangled, and I didn't eat a bite for three days and three nights, I really wanted to turn around and flee back to the mountain, thinking that I still had the things that the master instructed had not yet been completed, so I had to think about it, think about it, fortunately, I had the gold medal given by the master.............."

"Poof", Shizun squirted a sip of liquor on the table, and the whole person instantly lost the comfortable and kind appearance just now, the half-lying body sat up straight, and a sword intent like Xuan Ice burst out, as if to engulf Gu Xiao's whole person: "You kid has been stubborn since he was a child, let you go down the mountain to sharpen your heart, and give you a gold medal, it is to give you a time of crisis, showing the purpose of this thing to save your life, you actually took that gold medal?" ”

Gu Xiao saw that Shizun was in such a posture, and his inner breath burst out from the spring breeze that had entered the door first to the momentum of sword intent, and he hurriedly put on a smile, squinted his eyes and got up and quickly moved to Shizun's side, and used his cuffs to gently wipe the wine on the table and said: "Xiao Er doesn't dare, such a valuable thing and a life-saving thing, Shizun has been a disciple since he was a child who knows and breaks words, reads the past and the present, and teaches martial arts to strengthen his body." Of course, Xiao Er knows that this thing is precious, and knows the truth of 'the husband is not guilty of his crimes', Xiao Er still knows it, how dare she take it out at will. ”

Hearing what Gu Xiao said, Shizun's expression eased slightly, his forehead slightly, and put the wine bag in his hand on the desk, just about to wipe the wine from the long beard under his chin with his hand. Suddenly, he listened to Gu and said: "Xiao Er just cut off a corner of the gold medal and exchanged it for some scattered silver coins, so you can't just go down the mountain and go back to the mountain in disgrace." ”

As soon as these words came out, I only heard the sound of "popping" and shattering, and I saw that the tea cup and tea set on the table were all shattered by a sword qi. The entire room was shrouded in sword intent, if it weren't for Gu Xiaozun's distress for this long-lived room, I am afraid that these few grass houses would be shaken away by this trick of 'condensation and transformation'.

Lao Li, who was busy in the kitchen outside the house, felt this 'condensation and transformation', and the scars on his face were squeezed red by the smile, stirring the sweet potato eight-treasure porridge that Gu Xiao loved to eat in his hand, and said to himself in a hoarse voice: "The young master, this little monkey spirit, has just returned to the mountain, and the master is angry, I'm afraid that this grass house will be lively again!" ”

As soon as Gu Xiao finished saying the words of cutting the corner of the gold medal, he was shocked by the condensation and transformation, Gu Xiao knew that Shizun felt sorry for himself, but he would not hurt himself, and seeing the corners of Shizun's mouth twitching, he hurriedly took out a boxy gold medal from his arms and presented it with both hands, bowing down and hanging out an innocent smile: "Master, don't be angry, you see that this gold medal is not a big deal, if it weren't for Xiao Er's wit, he would starve to death at the bottom of the mountain!" ”

Shizun looked at Gu Xiao in front of him, there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, and the scene of seeing this child for the first time appeared in his heart, newborn children were afraid of life, when Gu Xiao was still in infancy, he saw Gu Xiao cute and hugged him, little Gu Xiao was not only not afraid of making trouble, but also "giggled" and grabbed his ears, and bit his cheek with his toothless gums, and the whole hall laughed. Thinking of this, he looked at Gu Xiao's eyes without dry tears, knowing that although this child was playing and playing on weekdays, he was delicate and affectionate. Shizun dispersed the sword intent in the room, the only remaining right hand turned his palm slightly, his three fingers were slightly buckled, and the gold medal in Gu Xiao's hand flew into Shizun's hand with a "whoosh", and he looked at this gold medal.

The gold medal is about the size of the palm, along the pure gold to create a cloud-swallowing beast, see this beast horn wolf hooves, deer body oxtail, oxtail along the gold medal from top to bottom inlaid with a piece of turquoise jade, at a glance, you will know from the hands of the unparalleled craftsman, the jade body is like a windless lake, the whole body of the treasure is transparent, it is the world's unparalleled treasure, the jade is in the middle of the card craftsman to make the jade sand carved a "Lin" word, so that this card is more majestic and solemn, the bottom of the gold medal is still wrapped in pure gold, the craftsman makes the unique skill engraved with several thundercloud patterns surrounded, The beast on the gold medal was covered with scales, swallowing clouds and showing its majesty, lifelike, but the golden thundercloud wrapped in the jade order in the lower left corner of this gold medal was missing a corner of half a finger.

Shizun held the card in one hand, stroked the card with his thumb, sighed lightly and said: "The Cloud Turning Qilin Seal, now it is like a decaying person like me, incomplete or incomplete!" In the rivers and lakes, things are in a hurry, Xiao Er, put away this precious thing, this card is unparalleled in the world, and it must not be damaged again. With that, his fingers moved slightly, and the Cloud Turning Qilin Seal volleyed in front of Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao bowed down and took the Cloud Turning Qilin Seal with both hands, and respectfully put it in his arms: "Yes, Master, three years ago, Shizun asked Xiao'er to go down the mountain to practice, and the apprentice thought, after doing what the master instructed, how can he make a name for himself, if this just came down the mountain and came back in disgrace, it would be too embarrassing, the apprentice now knows that this thing is so valuable, and he will not mess around in the future." ”

"Squeak~" Gu Xiao was talking, the door of the house opened, Lao Li entered with a tray, two bowls of sweet potato eight-treasure porridge on the tray exuded a thick heat, Lao Li approached slowly, put the porridge smoothly in front of the master's desk and said: "Master, young master, the night is cold and heavy, let's eat some food." ”

"Lao Li, look at this kid, saliva is about to flow out" Shizun looked at Gu Xiao, and saw Gu Xiao staring at the porridge, his throat turning up and down, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao'er, eat, this way, even if you are a little monkey spirit, you are hungry."

"Then you're welcome!" When Gu Xiao heard the master's permission, his stomach was already rumbling, so he hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the porridge, and started eating it with a spoon. The familiar taste of porridge is in the stomach, and the whole body is warm. Seeing that Uncle Li was waiting to go out, he hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of hot porridge, and opened his hot mouth and fanned it with his hand: "Gollum, Li.... Uncle.. Slightly.. Treat. After that, he quickly swallowed the hot porridge in his mouth, groped for a while from his arms, took out a small Dan box, and handed it to Uncle Li with both hands: "This is my journey through Bianjing City, I saw a group of thieves robbing a caravan, that group of thieves, kill people when they see them, there is no humanity, I killed the thieves, save the caravan, there is a leading elder in the caravan, the caravan is called the elder of the old lady Sun in order to thank me, forced to give me, I wanted to refuse, but the old lady Sun said that if I don't accept it, I will die in front of me, in desperation, I have to accept this thing." ”

"Nine turns of the golden spirit?" Uncle Li opened the Dan box, Jin Lingjiu turned through the body of Wujin, when the box was opened, the Dan incense overflowed, and Lao Li held the Dan box in his hand, and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Gu Xiao has been calm and calm when he saw Uncle Li since he was a child, but now this little pill has changed his expression greatly, and he asked: "Then the old lady Sun said that this thing is his ancestors for several generations, and said that I am a person from the rivers and lakes, in case of danger in the future, this pill can continue to live, if there is an old internal injury, it can also be taken for treatment, Uncle Li knows this pill?" ”

"Young master, when Lao Li Chu was traumatized, he visited famous doctors for treatment, and there was a trip to Fang Langzhong who told me about this medicine, which is the heirloom of the Sun family in Bianjing, which can resurrect the dying, and the healthy people can take it, and it can increase the life expectancy. Uncle Li held the pill in both hands, looked at Gu Xiao, and suddenly knelt down: "Young master, this thing is so precious, it can't save me, a decaying person, young master, please keep it by yourself in case of emergency." ”

Gu Xiao saw that Lao Li was about to kneel, so he dropped the bowl and got up. He supported Lao Li's arms with both hands and put away the previous ones: "Uncle Li, Xiao Er has no parents since she was a child, and you and Shizun raised me, for me, you are my relatives and elders, not to mention a little elixir, even if I use my flesh and blood to heal your old internal injuries, Xiao Er will definitely do it." ”

"Lao Li, Xiao Er asked you to accept it, you accept it, although this thing is precious, then the grandson of the Sun family will give this thing to a kid who comes from nowhere, one to cut off the covetousness of some young people in the martial arts, and will not let his Sun family suffer from the disaster caused by this elixir again, besides, Xiao Er is not a famous hero in the martial arts nor a child of the family, it is not easy for people in the martial arts to find him to win the pill, the Sun family has no worries since then, and they can also repay Xiao Er's kindness, killing two birds with one stone." Seeing that Lao Li refused to accept this pill, Shizun also opened his mouth to persuade him.

"The way of martial arts, care about moving forward steadily, if this pill is supplemented, the foundation is unstable, Xiao Er's mind, you can accept this thing with peace of mind, and use it to heal your internal injuries, in my opinion, this thing is not fake." Looking at the old man in front of him who had been with him for many years, the master also advised Lao Li to accept the pill.

When Uncle Li was young and wandering the rivers and lakes, he was straightforward and unrestrained, seeing that the master and the young master were all in such a posture, and knowing the young master's intentions, he no longer shirked and accepted the pill: "In this way, Lao Li thanked the master, the young master, and will take the pill tomorrow to treat the injury." ”

Seeing Lao Li accept the pill, Shizun said: "Xiao'er, you finish the porridge, and Lao Li and Lao Li have rested early, and tomorrow you go to the back mountain with me, and then talk about anything else."

"Yes, master."

"Don't be Master, Xiao Er still has a lot to say to Shizun, I went down the mountain this time, not only rescued Mrs. Sun's family, but also killed the Lei family for the people, captured the flower thief Quan Boguang in Liangzhou City at night, and recovered the robbed tens of thousands of snow ginseng for the Fuyuan Dart Bureau in Zangbei City, as well as .................." In Gu Xiao's heart, Shizun and Uncle Li have long been his relatives and elders, and they haven't seen each other for three years, just like a child returning home and wanting to show his ability with his elders, he is waiting to ask for credit from his elders.

Seeing that Gu Xiao was about to go on again, Shizun couldn't help but rub his eyebrows lightly with his fingers.

Seeing this, Uncle Li hurriedly dragged Gu Xiao up: "Young master, young master, you just returned to the mountain, Lao Li knows that you have a stomach and wants to tell the master, but the master knows that your return date is approaching, and you haven't breathed well in the past few days, and you have also returned to the mountain, there is a lot of time, you are also tired today, rest early, and it will not be too late tomorrow." ”

"No, and I'm in Lianzhou City........ And what you told me............... And also.... And my porridge ............" Before Gu Xiao finished speaking, he was dragged out by Lao Li.

There was nothing to say that night.
