"I'll hand out a sword every day, and when you can get close to me, you don't have to practice the sword until I leave."

This is what Li Xiao said to Shi Yu on the first day of sword practice.

After that, every day, as he said, in the evening, he would hand a sword to Shi Yu at the bottom of the waterfall, even if the young man had expected it, he would still be knocked down by the sword qi and fall into the pool.

And Shi Yu's progress is also visible to the naked eye.

At first, he didn't react and was knocked into the water. By now, it was already possible to roughly expect Li Xiao to take out his sword and react in advance, but he still couldn't rush ten meters to Li Xiao's side before the sword qi got close.

Even so, the recommendations day after day have improved a lot from the beginning.

Nine days have passed so far, and one more day will be the day when Li Xiao will go down the mountain.

Shi Yu has mixed feelings about this, not sad, but also a little lost. For Li Xiao, who is also an enemy and a teacher, he still has a good impression, and he has lived together for nearly two months, and he is really a little disappointed to be away from him.

It's just the gathering and dispersion of people in the rivers and lakes, as Li Xiao said, Pingshui meets.

Early in the morning of this day, Shi Yu put down the bamboo branch and put down the branch.

Pick up your sword and go up the mountain!

The left hand is stunned, and the right hand is frosted.

This was the first time he had walked into this cliff since he came to the Broken Soul Cliff.

There is a thatched hut lying on the edge of a cliff, as if it will be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Shi Yu held his breath and condensed, approaching the thatched house step by step.

Without warning, a burst of sword qi shot out.

Shi Yu had expected this, and at the moment when the sword qi came out, he crossed his hands and held the hilt of the sword, and at the same time as he drew his sword, he leaned forward and rushed forward.

Every step he took seemed light, but in fact he stepped heavily on the ground, leaving deep footprints, but it did not affect his speed in the slightest.

Both sides can be described as fast as a frightening shot.

It's only a blink of an eye.

When Shi Yu's dual swords collided with Li Xiao's sword qi, the impact that burst out actually sent ripples through the air, scattering them like waves.

Shi Yu felt the pain of his arms being torn, but he still gritted his teeth, did not retreat at all, and even moved forward step by step.

There is no him, just because he has entered within those three feet! Nine meters away from that thatched house.

Take a step back, and all your efforts will be wasted.

In a moment, the sword qi dissipated.

Shi Yu still maintained the posture of crossing his swords in front of his chest, staring at the thatched house with his eyes resolute, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his head.

Li Xiao's sword this time was more powerful than any previous time, probably seven or eight percent of the force.

Only this time, Shi Yu was not shocked back by the sword qi.

"Yes, you can go down the mountain."

Li Xiao's voice came from the room, but he didn't come out.

Shi Yu didn't say a word, put away his swords, clasped his fists and saluted, and then resolutely walked down the mountain.

I don't know when I will see you again.

I don't know if I can say goodbye to this farewell.

Leaving the Broken Soul Cliff, Shi Yu did not go back to his own hut, but walked directly down the mountain. When he went up the mountain to ask for a sword, he had already placed it among the mustard seeds. Besides, there are not many, only three cheats of 'Fairy Record', 'Twin Swordsmanship', and 'Kaishan Boxing', in addition, a green shirt, a bamboo battle, and a wine gourd hanging from the waist.

The two swords are carried behind him.

On the way down the mountain, I met the gentleman of Confucianism.

Yiyun is climbing the mountain, and he seems to be in a good mood, so he should be ready to travel to Beiju Luzhou.

"Mr. Yi." Shi Yu bowed.

Yiyun returned the salute and asked, "Leaving now?" ”

Shi Yu nodded and said, "During this time, I am grateful for Mr. 's guidance. ”

Not only in books, but also on swords.

Yiyun waved his hand and said, "It's a trivial matter." ”

"The rivers and lakes are long, don't pass by." Shi Yu gave a fist salute this time.

Zuoyi is to thank the Confucian gentleman, and hugging his fist is to say goodbye to the anecdotes on the rivers and lakes.

"Say goodbye!" Yiyun also clasped his fists and saluted.

After that, one person went down the mountain, one person went up the mountain, passed by, and went back on his back.

At dusk, Shi Yu stepped into the town.

Walk towards the liquor store that is famous for 'wine missing'.

This time I haven't seen you for a decade, and it's been a long time.

Stopping in front of the wine shop, Shi Yu turned his head to look in the direction of the Broken Soul Cliff. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, but I didn't expect to go down the mountain earlier than Li Xiao.

"Bang Bang".

Shi Yu turned his head to look and saw a young man at the door of the wine store looking at him blankly, with a broken wine bowl at his feet, and it was the second shopkeeper of the wine store.

"Sir?" The shopkeeper asked cautiously.

"Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, I can't recognize it?"

Shi Yu walked over with a smile, picked up the pieces on the ground one by one, and said with a smile, "Hairy, let the shopkeeper see it, and give you a discount for your legs." ”

The shopkeeper reacted at this time, helped Shi Yu pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and didn't forget to turn around and shout to the store, "Old Liutou, Mr. Shi is here." ”

Picking up the pottery shard, Shi Yu took the lead in walking into the wine shop.

The business of the liquor store is still tepid, and there are only three or four people drinking in the liquor store at this time, and it is not that the wine in the shop is not delicious, but the signature peach blossom brew is a little expensive.

Two taels of silver, you can buy five or six catties of wine elsewhere.

It's a pity that drunkards are not rich.

The shopkeeper greeted him and smiled very happily.

"Mr. Shi, it's been a long time." Shopkeeper Liu took the flask that Shi Yu untied from his waist.

"It's okay, there's something delayed on the mountain." Shi Yu said with a smile, and did not make unnecessary explanations.

"Don't you know, many people have been inquiring about Mr. recently, and the business of the liquor store is better than usual."

The shopkeeper handed the gourd to Xiao Er and motioned for him to go and drink. He himself accompanied Shi Yu to a window position.

Sit facing each other.

Shi Yu was puzzled: "How can anyone look for me?" I'm in a small town without relatives and no reason, is it listening to books? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "It's the three of the pavilion chief of the Taoyuan Pavilion, the father and son, and the old master and apprentice of the nameless Taoist temple in the peach forest. ”

Shi Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "That pavilion chief, is he here to ask the master about the crime?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. has a holiday with the pavilion chief?" ”

"Sort of." Shi Yu smiled and nodded.

The shopkeeper was about to say something, but was interjected by Xiao Er, who came over with wine, and said, "I came to apologize, saying that Wang Xiaoyan's kid offended Mr. ”

If you rob the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper gave Xiao Er a blank look. Xiao Er smiled and poured a bowl of wine for each of them.

Shi Yu smiled dumbly, it seems that he showed his hand at that time and suppressed Wang Xiaoyan's family, or the pavilion chief who had never met was inconsistent, otherwise why would he come to him in person for this trivial matter.

However, he had already decided to go to the pavilion chief's house, since the matter was caused by him, it should be solved by him, and it was not good to be hated by that family, and it was even worse to make the family frightened.

"I am very impressed by that long little apprentice, and his character is very good." Shi Yu took a sip of wine and said.

"Mr. is really wise, that little Taoist is called Tai Er, he is a little famous in the town, he likes to fight for good people at a young age, although his approach is a little naïve, he is a good person." The shopkeeper smiled and said, Mr. said yes, that must be good.

"I'm going to go back to the Taoist temple and meet the old master." Shi Yu turned his head to look out the window and silently remembered the name Tai Er in his heart.

What a ...... Strange name.

"It's time to check it out." The shopkeeper nodded.

After that, the shopkeeper and Shi Yu talked about each other, and they talked from time to time.

As noon approached, Shi Yu looked up at the sky, then got up and pinned the gourd to his waist.

"Sir, are you leaving?" The shopkeeper then got up and asked.

Shi Yu nodded, waved at the shopkeeper, and said, "Thank you Uncle Liu for taking care of you." ”

"What is this?" Shopkeeper Liu sideways avoided Shi Yu's salute, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

The shopkeeper saw this scene. He beckoned from afar and asked, "When will Sir come again?" ”

Shi Yu sighed, squeezed out a smile, and said, "If nothing else, it will be a long time." ”

Or not coming back.

The shopkeeper sighed, he knew that there would be this day, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, a little at a loss.

Shi Yu was almost out of the door of the wine store.

The shopkeeper reminded: "Xiao Wang, go and send Mr. Shi." ”

The shopkeeper was shocked and said "yes", so he hurriedly got out from behind the counter and followed Mr. to the outside of the shop.

On the street, two figures, one high and one low, one in front of one and one behind.

Shi Yu walked in front, and the shopkeeper followed behind without a glance, with a heavy heart.

He has a great affection for this gentleman. The gentleman would not yell at him like the others, and would talk more with him, a handyman boy, and would not mind sitting next to him while drinking.

"Go back, we'll see you again soon." Shi Yu stopped and looked back at the boy who was younger than himself.

The shopkeeper stopped, glanced at Shi Yu, and asked a question that Shi Yu didn't expect.

"Sir, you're not an ordinary person, are you?" The shopkeeper looked at Shi Yu with a sincere face.

"How?" Shi Yu smiled and looked at the seemingly dumbfounded teenager.

The young man suddenly smiled, did not answer Mr., but turned around and ran away, after running a distance, he looked back at Shi Yu and shouted: "Sir, my name is really Xiao Er, Wang Xiao Er, Mr. must remember!" ”

Shi Yu looked at the young man who ran away after shouting, shook his head with a smile, and then turned around and walked in the direction of Taoyuan Pavilion.

The pavilion chief's house is next door to the Taoyuan Pavilion, which is very large, with long blue brick walls covered with green tiles.

The gate is in the center, and you have to walk for a while just to get this distance.

The door hole is also made of green bricks, but the top is glazed tiles, the vermilion gate, two lion heads poke out of the door, and the mouth holds a copper ring.

There are one-man tall stone lions on the left and right sides, which is a big stroke and very magnificent in this remote town.

Shi Yu raised his hand and gently clicked the knocker.

Soon, a crack opened in the door, and a young handyman with his hair tied high above his head poked his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Shi Yu smiled and said, "Come to find Pavilion Chief Wang." ”

The handyman looked Shi Yu up and down, suddenly his eyes lit up, and asked, "But Mr. Shi?" ”
