There are ten days left until the New Year.

Ten days is not a long time, but it can do a lot of things. For example, spiritual practice.

In the morning, Yu Zhi came to an extremely remote courtyard in Xicheng as Li Haomiao said. There is an old locust tree in the courtyard, and the tall trunk can be seen from the courtyard wall, and the branches pressed by the snow also extend out of the wall, looking like it has grown for a hundred years.

The paint on the courtyard gate has fallen off, and only a little cracked red in the corner proves that this was once a big family of Zhumen. Today it is a dilapidated yard.

Yu Zhi pushed the door in, and Ye Qinghuan also followed.

The yard is very clean, and there is no sense of chaos where the leaves are littered and untended as Yu Zhi imagined. Pushing open the courtyard gate was a large open space, and the big locust tree occupied a corner of the clearing. There were stone tables and stone benches on the side of the locust tree, and in front of Yu Zhi and Ye Qinghuan were three simple thatched houses. And there should be a backyard in the back. The gardens in Kyoto are basically the same.

There are many thatched huts like this in the suburbs far from Kyoto, and it is a rare occurrence in Kyoto.

"Here we are."

When Ye Qinghuan followed, Yu Zhi just said mysteriously to surprise you.

Seeing Li Haomiao walking out of the thatched house, Ye Qinghuan stared at it. There is no need for Yu Zhi's introduction at all, as long as Li Haomiao is a person who cultivates swordsmanship, he knows Li Haomiao, even if he has not seen a real person, he has always seen the portrait.

Yu Zhi only responded. He doesn't worship Li Haomiao like Ye Qinghuan. After all, the two are acquaintances, and although they feel that Li Haomiao is powerful, they can't afford to have that kind of worship.

"Today's arrangement is simple. In this courtyard, he can't be caught for an hour. Li Haomiao casually pointed to a person beside him.

Only then did Yu Zhi see that Li Haomiao was followed by a man in black. I saw that the man was wrapped in black clothes all over his body, wearing a black hat on his head, and his face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of eyes that glowed with light were exposed. Such an outfit in broad daylight makes people unconsciously feel furious. Yu Zhi and the man glanced at each other, and immediately looked away.

Murderous. Even if it's not for yourself, you must have killed someone. Yu Zhi had seen those lone wolves on the grassland, and they also had the same bloodthirsty eyes.

The man in black was the man Li Haomiao met on the street.

"Uncle, who is this person?" Yu Zhi asked with some panic. First, he felt that he was already panicked when he saw such a dress, and second, he faintly felt that this person had a murderous aura towards him.

Li Haomiao patted Yu Zhi's shoulder, squinted his eyes, and whispered in Yu Zhi's ear: "He is the one who wants to kill you." I told him that in this courtyard, if you were caught by him, then ......"

Yu Zhi's face turned pale, and he asked in horror, "So what?" ”

"Life and death are fateful." Li Haomiao looked regretful, and just sent Yu Zhi another pair of elegiac couplets. "You don't need to worry too much, I agreed with him that he can only use the cultivation of the fourth grade of armor piercing. You, after all, are my own nephew, and my uncle still feels sorry for you. ”

Yu Zhi glared at Li Haomiao fiercely, thinking about how this person could be so hateful, and he would definitely tell his aunt when the time came, and let her clean it up.

Yu Zhi thought so, and then saw Li Haomiao take Ye Qinghuan to the bottom of the big locust tree. Yu Zhi didn't have time to care about how Ye Qinghuan got along with Li Haomiao, only to see the man in black take a step forward and lock himself with a breath.

"Hehe, senior...... Start lightly. ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw that the figure of the man in black had disappeared in front of him, and Yu Zhi broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and he faintly felt that there was someone behind him.

Swish!

Yu Zhi exerted force in his legs, and the dirt on the ground splashed backwards, and two extremely deep footprints appeared. He jumped up and left his original position, and at the moment when Yu Zhi left, there was a deep mark on the ground where he was, extremely thin and narrow, I don't know what kind of weapon he used, but Yu Zhi knew that his neck would not be harder than the ground.

didn't have time to think about it, Yu Zhi ran in this small courtyard.

"The yard is not big, only a few thatched huts can be used as shelters, maybe you can go to the backyard, but the other party must be more familiar with the terrain than I am. What to do? Although the cultivation was suppressed in the fourth grade of armor piercing, according to the situation just now, the other party's experience and skills were far from being comparable to me. Yu Zhi analyzed it in his heart, and scolded Li Haomiao by the way.

The man in black didn't seem to be in a hurry to catch Yu Zhi, and watched Yu Zhi run towards the backyard. As he walked around the thatched hut, he heard a voice behind him.

"Armor-piercing four products, don't cross the line. Otherwise, you'll know the consequences of angering a grandmaster-level powerhouse. ”

Even in a mild tone, the words in the sentence hinted at a lot of menace.

The man in black didn't stop, and continued to walk towards the backyard as if he hadn't heard. The so-called consequences are something he can't bear, Li Haomiao can kill him, and he can also kill the master behind him.

The backyard is a garden, and there are many winding corridors in the rockery lake, which are not easy for Yu Zhi to shuttle, and the same is true for the man in black. Yu Zhi wanted cover, to avoid the sight of the man in black, and try to delay for as much time as possible. An hour is a long time, and every minute and every second will be the moment when Yu Zhi dies.

At this time, Yu Zhi was hiding behind a rockery, holding his breath. All he could hear was his own heartbeat.

Swish!

The sharp sound of breaking wind made Yu Zhi feel bad. He immediately left the rockery and jumped onto the eaves of the corridor. I saw that the man in black had already appeared in the rockery where Yu Zhi was.

"Senior, if you can only use the cultivation of the four grades of armor piercing, you will definitely not be able to catch me. I don't think the two of us should waste our efforts and spend this hour quietly. Yu Zhi suggested. He has already cultivated the true qi of the martial arts, and the true qi alone is already above the four grades of armor piercing, and the other party is stronger than him in terms of experience and moves.

The man in black is also very aggrieved, the armor-piercing four grades This is his cultivation many years ago, but now he didn't expect to suppress his cultivation to deal with a little kid. If he followed his current cultivation, Yu Zhi would not be able to live for a breath in his hands.

When he found Yu Zhi hiding behind the rockery, at that moment, he wanted to kill Yu Zhi with a thunderous blow. However, there was a Li Haomiao in the front yard, he didn't have a sword with him today, but he could take someone's life at any time. That night, the man in black on the street had already learned the power of this kendo master.

Seeing that the man in black did not move, Yu Zhi stood on the eaves and waited for the man in black. If the enemy does not move, I will not move.

Suddenly, the man in black moved, and flew up towards the eaves of the hallway. In an instant, Yu Zhi's heart tightened, and he immediately ran away.

The black tiles were trampled into many pieces by the two of them, and they fell into the small lake one after another, causing ripples. Fortunately, thanks to the experience of climbing rocks and walking on the steep peaks of Tiandao Mountain, Yu Zhi is also slightly handy at dodging at the courtyard wall and rocks.

Compared with the turmoil on Yu Zhi's side, Ye Qinghuan was calm there. A strong person at the level of a grandmaster is not necessarily suitable for teaching people, and this is the case with Li Haomiao. Except for the fact that he found a master for him in his sword cultivator when he was a child, he relied on his own exploration. Among them, it was also fortunate that a wealthy clan at that time would have a list of the Tibetan scriptures in the clan.

Talented. This word is not too much to describe Li Haomiao.

Li Haomiao sat on the stone bench, watching Ye Qinghuan's moves and styles, and remembered the scene when he was practicing. In Kyoto at that time, Li Haomiao was already a celebrity in Kyoto, dressed in white and with a long sword in one hand, countless women were willing to wander the world with him.

became famous at a young age like the current Ye Qinghuan, and Ye Qinghuan's cold temperament is more attractive to those women than Li Haomiao. The difference between the two is that Li Haomiao does not refuse to come, and can always drink and admire the moon with those yellow flower girls, while Ye Qinghuan is respectful and stays away.

Ye Qinghuan's kendo is already good, and it is not much better than Li Haomiao's back then.

After reading it, Li Haomiao said: "Your sword is fast, but it's too fast." ”

Ye Qinghuan didn't understand what this was, and said in a daze: "The world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable. ”

Li Haomiao smiled dumbly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Who taught you this." ”

"It's in the book." After Ye Qinghuan finished speaking, he thought about it and added, "Supervisor Li said the same thing. ”

Li Haomiao was even happier when he said it, he naturally knew that Li Jian Yuan was referring to his sister. "What does she know?" Disdainful words can only be said behind Li Qingru's back.

"Quick, naturally, that's right. There was once a fast knife hand in the northern army, and he was a strong man with eight grades. A pair of fast knives in his hand went to the battlefield like chopping melons and vegetables, but the waist knife in the hand of one person in the steppe wolf court was also extremely fast, and the fast knife was defeated after the two fought. ”

"Waist knives are faster?"

"No, the man from the Steppe Wolf Court is much slower than the fast knife man, but he wins." Li Haomiao explained, "What you seek in sword cultivation is not fast, but a means to protect others and yourself." Blindly fast makes the opponent overwhelmed, but as long as the opponent can bear it, no matter how fast you are, it is useless. ”

"Martial arts is about taking you by surprise and never letting your opponent want your next move. It's especially important to be aware of the change of pace when playing against each other. As he spoke, Li Haomiao picked up a branch on the ground and demonstrated. When it is urgent, it is as slow as a virgin, as if it is a rabbit, as graceful as a frightening dragon. If it is fast, it will be a thunderous blow, and if it is slow, it will be easy. ”

The branches of the trees waved in the air, sometimes like a great river extremely turbulent, sometimes like a trickle flowing slowly.

"Got it?" Li Haomiao asked, holding the branch in his hand, behind his back with his left hand.

Ye Qinghuan was silent for a moment, and then nodded as if he didn't understand.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's teachable. Smarter than a small fish. Li Haomiao was very pleased, and instantly understood Li Qingru's sense of accomplishment in guarding a broken academy. It was the first time for him to point out to others, and he didn't think he was a good teacher, but he just raised some of the problems he encountered in his practice, summed up his experience after his defeat, and then taught Ye Qinghuan.

There is also what Li Haomiao didn't say - the fast knife man was his friend, and after dying under the waist knife, he ran to the grassland and killed the other party with a faster sword.

For the strong, the fast sword is not broken.
