Moonlight.

Frost white.

There was a thick layer of snow in the courtyard.

Chen Zhuo was lying on the kang, and Chaoyun's girl was burning firewood in the stove, which was hot.

Seeing that he opened his eyes, the little girl wiped her hands and was very surprised, "Master, you are awake!" ”

Chen Zhuo pulled the quilt, just pulled a corner away, and was tucked back by a pair of hands, he was sweating all over his head, "Are you going to steam me or roast me?" ”

His hot mouth was dry, and he pursed his lips, "Come on saliva!" ”

Chao Yun hurriedly poured a bowl of water and brought it over, "Master, I'm scared to death, Senior Brother Zuo is also heavy." ”

After drinking it in one gulp between his teeth, Chen Zhuo exhaled, "Don't blame Senior Brother, I'm stubborn and impulsive in trouble, I should be beaten and beaten, Senior Brother is not angry with me, right?" ”

He said melancholy, and his eyes were complicated.

Chaoyun smiled skillfully, "Senior Brother Zuo came to see it just now, and said that he was also muddy before, young and vigorous, and always wanted to fight when he encountered something, and finally was cleaned up by the fifth master, so he was honest." ”

Chen Zhuo's face darkened, "Young and vigorous? No matter how old he is, he can only swing his rank on me, who is just starting out. ”

Chaoyun helped him up, leaned on the kang head, put a pillow, and said while feeding the meat porridge: "Uncle Cheng also came to take a look and took some herbs." ”

The little girl's face was stained with soot, and she didn't know how long she had been guarding, so she took advantage of Chen Chu's porridge to swallow the porridge, and she said, "Master, why don't I give you the Jiupin old ginseng." ”

Chen Zhuo suddenly turned his head, and his tone was a little more stern, "Let me tell you, I never believe in life, bullshit, but this matter, that is your father's thoughts, we both asked you from the ghost gate, I agreed to your father, that is a matter of life and death, no one in the world can touch that thing except you." ”

Chaoyun looked at him carefully, his eyes flickered, "Brother Chen, then I won't mention it in the future." ”

The sudden change of words made Chen Zhuo's tense expression stunned for a moment, and then he relaxed and smiled, "Isn't it boring?" I said I would take you out for a walk, but I broke my promise. ”

Chaoyun hurriedly shook his head, "No, Senior Lady treats me very well, Senior Uncle Cheng is good, and Brother Zuo often buys me some food." ”

Chen Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." ”

He suddenly saw two old blue books with threads on the bedside, and asked puzzledly, "What is this?" ”

Chaoyun fed him porridge and replied: "Senior Brother Zuo said, that is the fifth master's lifelong perception of using a knife, one is before the age of thirty, and the other is after the age of thirty, all of which are left to you. ”

The wooden door suddenly opened, and Cheng Tinghua walked in with his back hand, rubbing the wet mud on his feet.

The old man asked with a straight face, "Are you awake?" ”

Chen Zhuo let out a "hmm".

Cheng Tinghua didn't cover the door, the moon outside the door reflected the snow, and it was white.

The old man suddenly said, "Do you know how to guard your heart?" ”

Chen Zhuo was slightly stunned.

Cheng Tinghua sighed, took the porridge bowl in Chaoyun's hand, and sat by the stove to eat, "You practice knife skills, and you have a knife in your sleeve, so your knife is less sheathed." ”

Chen Zhuo frowned, "I practice fast knives, there is no advance or retreat, to win quickly, more sheaths, will be slow." ”

Cheng Lao said in a calm tone: "Light is not a skill, the important thing is to hold it steadily." Your master holds a hundred-pound broadsword and holds it like a feather, but he is faster and more stable than you, because his knife has a sheath. The knife is hiding, not killing, you are sharp, but you can't keep your heart, have you forgotten your original intention of holding the knife? ”

The old man ate very quickly, swallowed and drank, the porridge in the bowl bottomed out in a blink of an eye, and Chaoyun on the side added another bowl.

After saying a few words, Chen Zhuo was speechless, and his forehead was sweaty.

Cheng Tinghua asked again, "Are you just trying to get revenge?" ”

Chen Zhuo asked rhetorically, "Isn't it enough?" ”

Cheng Tinghua glanced at Chen Zhuo with his eyes, "Heh, just for pleasure, can you clear the enmity and hatred?" What thieves do you kill in Guanzhong just for your own pleasure? ”

"It's not!"

Chen Zhuo replied quickly and crisply this time, and his voice was raised.

"Of course not!"

He looked directly at Cheng Tinghua and did not flinch at all.

Cheng Tinghua also stared at him, "What is that for?" When someone tells you that you have suddenly gone wrong, you should stop and think about it, reflect on whether you are really wrong...... Now, tell the old man, why did you kill those thieves? ”

Chen Zhuo looked at the old man's fire-like eyes, slowly withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, raised his head, and slowly opened his eyes for a while before chanting: "Xia! ”

Cheng Tinghua's tone was also heavy, and his eyes were shining, "What is chivalry?" ”

Chen Zhuo's eyes drooped and trembled.

He stared down at his hands, his ten fingers had been smeared with wound medicine and bandaged, and then he said under Cheng Tinghua's burning gaze: "Xia, just do the right thing...... Cut off the grievances in your heart! ”

Cheng Tinghua exhaled a long breath and said calmly: "Then guard your chivalrous way and sharpen your murderous heart." Your blade is too strong, when you can hide the edge in the sheath, you can really step into the path of the knife, when your knife does not need to be unsheathed, you can defeat the enemy, then no one in the world can crush you. ”

Seeing that Chen Zhuo was silent, the old man said in a light tone: "From Ming'er, you are grounded for three months, take a good look at these things left by your master, and see how he realized it, and you can't forget those footprints, give me five hours a day." ”

Chen Zhuo was stunned, "Isn't it a month?" ”

Cheng Tinghua snorted coldly, "Brother is against the wall, fighting with the same family, did you forget to do it with your senior brother?" Even used a killing move? If you don't have a long memory, shouldn't you do it to me and your master next time? ”

Chen Zhuo's eyelids jumped, and his face was bitter, "How can it be so serious, it's just a matter of learning one or two...... Besides, even if I really want to fight with you, I can't beat it. ”

The old man's eyes widened when he heard this, "How?" You still want to help me? ”

Chen Zhuo sighed helplessly, "Uncle Shi, I was wrong, in the future, I will listen to you honestly, practice in a down-to-earth manner, and if you don't practice the real thing, you won't be out of the dart game." ”

Hearing what he wanted, Cheng Tinghua put down the bowl with satisfaction, "It's about the same...... Chaoyun, you can also go back to the house and let him think about it for himself. ”

Chaoyun still wanted to take care of Chen Zhuo again, but when he heard the old man's words, he could only follow out.

As soon as the wooden door was closed, Chen Zhuo leaned on the kang and sighed softly, and was stunned for a long time before picking up a book of knives left by Wang Wu, and flipped through it by the light.

It is said that it is a knife insight, but surprisingly there is no key to using a knife on it, and the crooked ink marks are like a young child who has just held a pen to practice calligraphy, which is ugly and ugly.

Chen Zhuo's expression was strange, he just thought that Cheng Tinghua and Zuo Zongsheng were playing tricks on him, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't bear to flip down.

I don't want the ink marks to become more and more neat, vertical and horizontal, staggered and square, and gradually have the outline of the word.

"Poof!"

The lights flickered.

The wooden door opened wide, and Kyaukjie Yuehua threw it diagonally in, landing on the old book that was opened at the head of the bed.

Chen Zhuo glanced at it inadvertently, his whole body was inexplicably tight, and his eyes were sharply open, but when he saw the yellowed page, two large square handwriting jumped into his eyes, like mountains and rivers, like rivers and rivers, swallowing the world and the sky, and rushing into the clouds.

Is that

"The right way!"

……

In the blink of an eye, it was another three days.

After Chen Zhuo finished standing on the static pile in the martial arts arena, he returned to the house covered in sweat.

The difference is that there is a desk in the room.

To be honest, he has forgotten how many years he hasn't held a pen, don't look at the knife to hold, but now he is full of entanglement in holding the pen. If you think about it carefully, it seems that he has nothing but a knife in recent years, he will only show his knife when he meets the enemy, and he will only kill people.

Interestingly, Cheng Tinghua saw that he asked people to move a desk and buy pen and ink the next day, just thinking that he could write something amazing and amazing, but he came in a hurry, walked away with a gloomy face, and did not forget to spit when he went out.

"It's unsightly, it's insulting, it's worse than what your master wrote back then!"

However, the old man dislikes it, and he doesn't forget to dial it. Martial arts all the way, all from the shallow practice to the subtle, it is easy to hold the knife, but it is difficult to hold the pen, you need to comprehend the strength, grasp the strength of the millimeter, drag and pull, like a knife, you have to change in stability, you have to be dexterous.

Chen Zhuo can be regarded as enlightened, after all, he works behind closed doors, only by fighting with others to explore and comprehend, how can he compare to the guidance of the martial arts master, and he gradually extinguished his mind to go out.

Glancing at the word "ancient jade" written crookedly on the desk, he paced to the side of the bed and sighed inexplicably.

"I don't know if I bumped into Old Ghost Yin, I hid well, I had to go out, and I got two clothes."

These days, while he is practicing, he has also asked Cheng Tinghua on the side, but the old man always talks about him left and right, and he can't find out the news at all, Zuo Zongsheng is also mysterious, nesting in the house every day, and not forgetting to add two big locks when he goes out, just like a thief.

"What are you muttering there?"

A voice suddenly sounded in the room.

A gust of wind blew, and the wooden door was closed.

Chen Zhuo looked up and saw that there was already a person standing in front of him, wearing his cotton robe, with a long braided twist behind him, as if he was laughing, the fox eyes were smiling, and the white cheeks under the lamp were a little less cold and more gentle, like a peony, who else could it be besides Gu Yu.

"Why are you here?"

Gu Yu thought about it seriously, "I didn't leave at all, don't you know yet, the person you stole back from Senior Brother Zuo was Sister Lin, I originally planned to leave, but seeing that Sister Lin didn't know whether she was alive or dead, I secretly stayed in a room in the courtyard, and Cheng Lao also sent me two meals to eat." ”

The more Chen Zhuo listened, his face darkened, and he kept teasing him with the old man, and he could even think of the scene where Cheng Tinghua slept until he woke up laughing in the middle of the night, which was not ashamed.

"Cheng Lao is also for your good, you fool, you only advance and don't retreat, and you have injuries on your body, if you really let you go out, maybe you will have to die outside."

Gu Yu walked to the desk, looked at the crooked two words on it, sneered, dipped the pen in ink, and wrote the word Chen Zhuo on the side.

"I also saw you doing it with your senior brother in order to get out, alas, why bother!"

She sighed, but there was a smile in her eyes.

Chen Zhuo was inexplicably a little uncomfortable, don't look over, and look at the stove, "You and I live and die together, I can't watch you die at the hands of Yin Fu." ”

Gu Yu said softly: "Old Ghost Yin is the one who seriously injured me in the palace, his skills are extremely high, even if I fall into his hands, you can't do anything, you are not his opponent." ”

Chen Zhuo sneered, "Even if I am defeated, I still have my life, and I will bite off a piece of his flesh if I die." ”

But after laughing, he sighed helplessly: "It turned out that I still didn't go out." ”

Gu Yumei's eyes lit up, "You fool, this martial arts rivers and lakes, fish, lobsters and crabs, how can my White Lotus Sect have no background, and there is also an old man in charge, how can you be desperate, in this capital, he is invincible in the world, but out of the capital, he is just an old ghost who lives longer." ”

She put down the pen and said quietly: "I originally wanted to leave with Sister Lin tonight, but I found that you were hiding in the house, and I was stunned when I looked at my name, but I couldn't help but want to see you." ”

Chen Zhuo's eyes flickered, "If you want to leave, why do you want to see you again." ”

It's just that after speaking, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with what he said, and he was busy trying to change his words, but he heard Gu Yu say softly: "After the spring, my White Lotus Sect will start an incident, and there will be some time to respond in the north with the "Boxer Rebellion" first. ”

As he spoke, Gu Yu had already sat down beside him.

For some reason, Chen Zhuo suddenly felt creepy, and he coughed lightly, "There is still time?" What do you mean? ”

Gu Yu rolled his eyes angrily, and his cheeks turned red, "You fool, my 'Tiangang Strength' is a unique wonder in the world, coupled with the 'Earth Evil Pile', I can look inside myself when I practice to a high depth, and it has a mysterious use...... You only have a superficial doorway, if you want to get a glimpse of the essence, you also need to find through the muscles and muscles, the mobilization of qi and blood veins, if there is no teaching by my words and deeds, how to get the true essence? ”

Chen Zhuo stared directly at Gu Yu's eyes, "If you pass on your skills just to repay that life-saving feeling, you don't have to." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yu's eyes suddenly became indifferent again, taking advantage of Chen Zhuo's unstable mood, Leng Buding stretched out his hand to caress his neck, and when he raised his hand, he actually hid an embroidery needle between his fingers.

Chen Zhuo was shocked to feel a pain in his neck, and his heart was not good, this girl came to this trick again, it was really impossible to prevent it.

I just wanted to touch the wound, but I felt numb all over my body, and I couldn't use my strength, only a pair of eyes were left and bones were spinning.

Gu Yu sneered: "After seeing my body, I took advantage of it, I should touch everything, but now I am pretending to be a lady and gentleman, no way." ”

She untied her black hair as she spoke, pushed down Chen Zhuo, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, "We can't help ourselves in this world, but God treats me well, and I can meet my beloved, from now on, you and I can really trust life and death." ”

Gu Yu covered the wooden door, blew out the lights, and as soon as the cotton clothes were untied, they were already naked and got into the quilt, and the two hot bodies were instantly entangled......

……

The process is not enough for outsiders.
