The barrier at the mouth of the fish pond was opened, and the people who came to the mouth of the fish pond rushed to the mouth of the fish pond, and the capital was much bothered.

Somewhere on the street, a young man in white left the shop with a bag of medicine.

The boy did not carry a sword today, and the two swords that accompanied him all the way were left in the inn.

Shi Yu got up in the morning and went to knock on Li Xiao's people, but no one responded for a long time, and after pushing the door in, he found that the room was empty, and the bedding was neatly stacked on the bed, and there was a cloth bag on the bed.

Li Xiao left behind a bag of silver when he left.

Last night, Helian Xue slept on the bed, and Shi Yu slept on the table all night, but he also slept soundly.

got up early, took the money bag left by Li Xiao and left the inn, and asked the shopkeeper on the way when he left, only to know that Li Xiao left two rooms for another three days when he left.

"Young man, has the Yuchikou barrier been released?"

A woman's voice came from behind him.

Shi Yu followed the prestige and saw a blind woman with a big sword on her back, standing side by side with a woman in black clothes and a hat.

Shi Yu nodded and said with a smile: "It's already open, let's go early, otherwise there will be more opportunities for others to go first." ”

"Thank you!"

The two thanked them and headed out of the city.

Shi Yu turned his back to the two and walked in the direction of the inn.

When I entered the inn, I met a strange person. It was a gray-clad and haired Taoist, who looked about the same age as Shi Yu.

When Xiaodaoren stepped out of the inn, he saw Shi Yu and didn't know him, but he nodded in greeting.

Shi Yu had to nod in response, but he didn't take it to heart, he just thought that he had recognized the wrong person.

When he returned to the room, Shi Yu asked the shopkeeper to borrow a medicine jar to boil medicine.

Stopping at the door of the room, Shi Yu knocked on the door and heard the woman in the house answer "Come in".

Only then did he push the door in.

Helian Xue had already gotten up to wash her face, sat on the edge of the bed, and smiled at him when she saw Shi Yu come in.

Shi Yu smiled, put the medicine bag on the table, and said, "You rest first, I'll go boil the medicine, okay call you." ”

Helian Xue nodded.

Shi Yu opened the medicine bag and poured the medicinal materials into the medicine jar.

Familiar with the way, he took out the fire fold and lit the brazier, blew two breaths on the flames, and when the fire ignited, he took the medicine jar downstairs to receive water.

When I came up, I had two more sticks of dry wood in my hand.

After stuffing the dry wood into the brazier and placing the medicine jar on it, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down on the chair to rest for a while.

Looking at Shi Yu's skillful operation, Helian Xue, who was sitting on the bed, was a little curious.

This young man, whether he wore or wore a sword, did not seem to be born poor, how could he be so skilled in such rough work?

I couldn't help but ask, "Do you often boil medicine?" ”

Hearing Helian Xue's question, Shi Yu turned his head to look at her, smiled, and said, "When I was very young, my mother was sick in bed, and I was boiling medicine every day. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Yu remembered when he was five or six years old, when his father left simply, but his mother was sick in bed for a long time, and suffered a lot of sins before she died reluctantly.

Seeing that Shi Yu was in a somewhat depressed mood, Helian Xue didn't ask any more questions, and changed the topic: "By the way, I don't know what your name is." ”

"Shi Yu." Shi Yu smiled, "What about you?" ”

"Xuanji City, Helian Xue." Helian Xue leaned her hands on the edge of the bed, and her eyes fell on the young man's face.

Xuanji City, Shi Yu has heard of it, it is said that it was originally built by the Mo family to resist the demon clan of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and later the sages of Confucianism in Dongzhou reached some kind of agreement with the demon clan, so that the well water of the demon clan and the human race does not interfere with the river water, and the Xuanji City will not play its original role.

It's just that after all, it was Xuanji City that fought the most ruthlessly with Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, so the relationship between the two has always been incompatible.

Shi Yu probably figured out the joints, and guessed the approximate identity of the man in white who fought with Helian Xue at the city gate.

Seeing that Shi Yu stopped talking, Helian Xue asked, "What is your relationship with Brother Li?" ”

For this question, Shi Yu can only smile bitterly, how to say it? Is it an enemy who shares the sky? Half a Master? None of that seems right.

Then he said, "It's a ...... It's not a friend of a friend. ”

Helian Xue frowned slightly, obviously not very satisfied with this answer, but she didn't ask too much.

Helian Xue didn't speak, Shi Yu was even more silent, and simply took out the sword book from the forest study from his arms and studied it.

Seeing this, Helian Xue didn't take the initiative to talk, and sat cross-legged on the bed to heal his injuries.

The healing of a cultivator is naturally much simpler than that of a person who practices martial arts, and he only needs to use the true qi in his body to impact the veins blocked by blood congestion, while people who practice martial arts can only rely on medicine to dissolve the blood congestion and wait for the body to recover naturally.

Therefore, three days is enough time for Helian Xue, even if she can't recover to her peak state, she can move freely without being taken care of by others.

Out of the corner of his eye, Shi Yu looked at Helian Xue who was healing with his eyes closed.

Not only is the hair color snow-white, but the skin is also fair, the willow leaves have long eyebrows, and the red lips are dripping. When the eyes are closed, the thick and long eyelashes flicker, adding a bit of playfulness. Shi Yu doesn't know what others say about him, but in his eyes, he is indeed a beauty.

Just looking at it twice, Shi Yu retracted his gaze and flipped through the sword book by himself.

This sword book is very strange, it doesn't teach people to practice swords at first, but it makes people do something that sounds simple, but it is very difficult to do.

Draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other.

It's not that Shi Yu hasn't seen a similar scene, but he saw it in a popular chivalrous novel, but he didn't expect that this matter could really be used in sword training.

Shi Yu took out a piece of charcoal from the brazier, squatted on the ground and tried, but after trying many times, he only frowned, and drew not two circles, but two squares, and then crooked, not round and not square.

He could probably guess the intention of this move, since it was a two-handed sword, it must be coordinated with both hands to play the greatest role, if the two-handed sword came out of the same way, then there was a sword that did not play a big role.

It's just that this dual-purpose thing is even more difficult for a person like Shi Yu, who is already meticulous.

After practicing for half an hour, Shi Yu lost his patience and threw the charcoal back into the brazier to wipe off the crooked marks on the ground.

I stood up, lifted the lid of the pot, and felt that it was almost boiled, so I found a bowl and poured the medicine into the bowl. Holding the medicine jar, he went downstairs to refill the water, and hurried back to the room to put it on the brazier.

A pair of medicines has to be boiled twice to bring out all the medicinal properties, which he has known since he was a child.

After doing all this, Shi Yu glanced at Helian Xue and saw that she was still meditating, so he picked up the two swords on the table, walked out of the room, gently closed the door, and went to Li Xiao's room.

After entering the house, he put the white sword frost on the table, took out another sword and stung it, and began to practice the "Sword Nine Decisions" of the Nine Swords Gate.

It is not difficult to make every sword move of the Nine Sword Decisions, Shi Yu has been practicing for five years, and he has long been familiar with it, but he has nothing to do, and he is not able to do it.

It is not difficult for Shi Yu to complete the nine styles, but the difficulty is that since the third style, it is difficult to grasp the essence of that word.

Fighting with female ghosts in Kunwu Mountain before, although I realized a bit of sword rhyme, I always stopped at the word strength, no matter how the sword was played, it was a little soft, and I couldn't stand the word "strength".

For a stick of incense, Shi Yu was sweating.

"Since you don't know the essence of swordsmanship, it's better to practice boxing."

I don't know when, Helian Xue leaned against the door and watched Shi Yu practice his sword.

Shi Yu put away his sword and returned it to its sheath, looked at Helian Xue, and greeted him with a smile: "Miss Helian." ”

"Look at your sword practice, the sword is smooth, although you have a bit of charm, but you lack strength, you can learn from each other, but it is difficult to kill." Helian Xue walked into the house and broke the drawbacks of Shi Yu's sword.

Shi Yu nodded, his face was bitter, and he said helplessly: "I have also been suffering from this matter for a long time." ”

"It's better to put the sword down first, to practice boxing, boxing is different from sword practice, pay more attention to physical toughness, you practice boxing not to kill, just to strengthen the body, and so on the arm strength is enough, and then to practice the sword, the strength is enough."

Helian Xue said, then suddenly smiled and said, "That's what my father told me. ”

Shi Yu thought about it for a while, and felt that what Helian Xue said was very reasonable.

He doesn't have the strength to use the sword now, not because he doesn't have enough understanding of the sword moves, but because the strength on his arm is limited, which is a restriction for him to use the sword.

But now that I know what the problem is, I still can't change it. Because he has neither a boxing book nor a master's guidance, if he practices boxing blindly, there will be more problems.

Shi Yu said: "What Miss Helian said is reasonable, but I can't practice boxing now." ”

"Are you worried that there will be no one to guide you and practice something wrong?" Helian Xue saw through what she was thinking at a glance.

Shi Yu smiled bitterly and nodded.

Helian Xue suddenly smiled, took out a book from his arms, and said: "I faced the same problem as you before, this boxing book was given to me by my father, it is not a high-quality boxing book, it is enough for you, I can guide you for a few days, it should be regarded as a personal favor for you." ”

After speaking, he threw the book to Shi Yu.

Shi Yu took it in his hand, looked at it, and saw that the words "Kaishan Boxing" were written on it.

Shi Yu didn't take it directly into his arms, but looked embarrassed, and said to Helian Xue: "What I did was just a gesture, the things given by the girl were too valuable, I was uneasy, the girl should take it back." ”

Helian Xue raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully: "Why are you a big man more twisted than a woman like me?" If you accept it, you will accept it, this kind of boxing method is like a chicken rib for me today, and it is too cumbersome to carry it on my body. ”

Shi Yu had no choice but to accept it, and said with a smile: "Then thank the girl." ”

Putting the boxing book in his arms, he went to her room with Helian Xue.

The medicine has been boiled. Shi Yu poured the medicine that had been boiled back into the medicine jar, and then divided it into two bowls.

I scooped a spoonful with a medicine spoon, put it in my mouth and tasted it, the temperature was just right, so I changed the medicine spoon and put it in the bowl and brought it to Helian Xue.

Helian Xue has an extremely bold personality, and she is not polite, let alone twisted, she puts the medicine spoon in the bowl aside, picks up the bowl and drinks it all.

After drinking, he stretched out his index finger and wiped the medicine stains from the corners of his mouth.

Shi Yu stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "Miss Helian is really a dragon and a phoenix among people, a hero among women, drinking medicine is like drinking, and I admire it." ”

How could Helian Xue not hear the meaning of his words, but she didn't care, just glanced at him.
