On the fifth day of August, the weather finally cleared, and the sun pierced the clouds and haze into the town, and the wet and cold that had shrouded them for two days was quickly melted away. After the rainstorm, the grass in Fenghuai County is clear, the eaves are bright and black, and the hazy distant mountains seem to be much closer.

When Pei Ye opened his eyes, he was on the bed of the county office.

A familiar and unfamiliar sense of relaxation came from the body, the muscles of the limbs were ready to be released, and every breath could reach the bottom of the lungs freely, and the chest and abdomen were so well-behaved and quiet.

Pei Ye stared blankly at the roof, and it took a long time to realize that this state is called health.

He sat up straight, the house outside the window still collapsing, but the yard had been cleared.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and the monkey spirit boy came in with his head down and tea, his eyes were still red, and when he looked up, he said, "Ah", "Brother, are you awake?" I'm going to call the prefectural magistrate. ”

Pei Li's brain was still a little sluggish, and after watching the teenager put down the tea and walk out, he remembered that he should ask about the safety of the teenagers who fled in other directions.

Turned over and got out of bed, the body was clean and refreshing, and when I opened the sweatshirt, I saw that the skin on the lower abdomen was smooth and there was no scar. The veins of the forearm of his right hand still seemed to be filled with a viscous blue flame, and the abundant sense of power made Pei Ye can't help but clench his fists.

Lifting the lid of the tea, I looked down and saw that the fire charm on my forehead had disappeared.

The door was pushed open again, and Chang Zhiyuan's deep and calm face walked in. The old man's gray hair was disheveled, his eyebrows were tired, and his left arm was splinted and hung around his neck, as if it had not been carefully treated.

In an incident, Feng Huai went to three of the four adults, and only Chang Zhiyuan was left to clean up the follow-up, and it is conceivable that the old man was burdened with heavy affairs this day.

"Have you rested, is there anything uncomfortable?" The old man's voice was as low and gentle as ever.

"It's all right. How's it going? ”

"Thanks to your Shenwu, the enemy was killed last night. Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yizhang also arrived this morning, and we have finished counting the cellar in the west of the city, and we are now finishing it. Chang Zhiyuan said, "The other six victims also survived, three were mutilated by the murderer, fortunately, Lord Zhao Yizhang brought a few Bao Dan, and the treatment was relatively timely, so they should be fine." ”

Pei Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

"The state confirmed that this is a cult in the name of 'Candle World', which was almost wiped out fifty years ago, and there has been no movement over the years, but I didn't expect it to suddenly appear in our place." Chang Zhiyuan slowly sat down on the chair with the armrest, picked up a cup of tea and drank it all, "Did you hear their purpose in the process of contacting them?" ”

Pei Ye shook his head, stretched out his right arm and put it in front of Chang Zhiyuan's eyes: "Turning that murderer into me seems to be their purpose." ”

Chang Zhiyuan said: "When you were in a coma, I had already asked two adults to help you see it, and they didn't have a clue - is it painful?" ”

Pei Ye shook his head: "I don't feel it, and I even have a lot more strength." ”

Chang Zhiyuan frowned and sighed lightly: "That's it, I don't know anything about this kind of thing, but this case will definitely be transferred to the state capital, and see what they say then." ”

Pei Ye nodded.

"Do you have any plans for your future?"

"Plans? Haven't thought about it yet. ”

"The road of practicing martial arts is nothing more than the sect, the army and the court, and it seems that there is something strange about the dantian species now, and the road of the sect is not going through for the time being, but the other two sides are okay. I have an official document in my hand, and I want to recommend local talents to participate in the Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition at the end of the month. You know, next year's Shenjing martial arts, Bowang Prefecture has three places, and this Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition will determine the first one. Chang Zhiyuan said, "If you are interested, I will report you." ”

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it was the season when countless martial artists in the world were eager to try.

The opportunity to try the level with the strong players in the entire state that I had imagined two years ago was suddenly in front of me, and before my brain could think about it, my body had already nodded: "Okay." ”

"Well, nothing else." Chang Zhiyuan smiled slightly, and gently beat his legs, "We will deal with the chores in the back, you can go back and rest first." When the people from the state government and Xianrentai come in the evening, they have to ask you to come forward. ”

"Okay."

"Well, if you have any ideas in your heart, you can come to the county office to find me at any time."

The two walked out of the county office side by side, Pei Ye was about to leave, Chang Zhiyuan patted his forehead and said, "That's right, wait a minute." ”

Turned around and walked back to the county office, and when he came out, he held a sword and a basket, and said with emotion: "When you are old and can't sleep, the worse your memory will be—your sword." There is also a pear tree in the backyard that broke last night, and the pears that were sprinkled on the ground, you can carry a basket, otherwise it will be a pity if it breaks. ”

Pei Ye took the cleanly wiped sword and the washed pear, and thanked him.

After walking out for three or five feet, an old man shouted from behind: "Xiao Pei! ”

Pei Ye turned his head, Chang Zhiyuan's somewhat rickety figure was still standing in front of the steps, and when he saw Pei Ye turn around, the old man raised his left hand with great difficulty, held the thumb of his right hand, bowed his waist, and bowed deeply.

……

Pushing open the faded wooden door of the peach charm, there was a thin and hard jujube tree in the courtyard, this jujube tree had not produced dates since Pei Ye could remember, and its wrinkled and shriveled temperament was the same as that of the old man in black under the tree.

After several lives and deaths, it seems to have lengthened this day of separation.

"Grandpa Yue." Pei Ye shouted.

"Huh?" The old man looked up.

Pei liquid grip, out of the sheath.

The small courtyard was quiet, the old man's body shuddered for a while, Pei Ye clearly felt that the body in front of the sword reacted instinctively, it may have twenty ways to deal with this sword, but the broken tendons and bones pulled this impulse back, and the old man finally only trembled a few times and coughed twice.

"Did you see that?" Pei Liquid Road.

"The ice sky and jade fly white snow at night, the old geese shine on the silver, and the white horse enters the reed flowers." The old man smiled, "Yes, this is the first form. ”

Pei Ye also laughed happily.

"Understanding. This sword style is difficult to get started, and since you have learned the first sword, the later sword style is much easier. The old man narrated, "There are five kinds of sword intent in this sword, you have understood the 'fear of losing feathers', and there is still the cold of winter, the loneliness of isolation, the silence of the snowy night and the flight of desperation." And remember to concentrate on the sword, so that you can make progress......"

Pei Ye watched the old man hold his head high, struggling and intoxicated to tell about this swordsmanship he had created in his heart.

Pei Li had always had a kind of awe for the old man's past, but after truly understanding this sword state of mind, he did have an urge to ask.

Flying geese on snowy nights, flying geese on snowy nights, geese are migrating in autumn, why is there a lonely goose in the sky on a snowy night?

Why did the old man create such a set of swordsmanship? With such a kendo, why did he fall into such a situation? Is he still in the coldest and lonely situation, trying to fly? Where is the south in his heart?

Pei Ye finally swallowed these questions back into his stomach, waited quietly for the old man to finish the sword, took two pears to the well to wash them, and gave them to the old man.

Back in the house, Pei Ye picked up the little black ball nested in the basket and looked at its clear blue eyes: "Is it you?" ”

The kitten just looked at him quietly, and after looking at it for a long time, it gradually revealed some sluggishness, as if it had no soul.

Pei Ye remembered the black mantle's sentence "not exactly", and he lacked the corresponding knowledge to understand what its current state was for the time being.

Unbandage it as instructed, the wound on the abdomen has completely healed, Pei Ye reached out and touched it with a miraculous feeling, and it was intact without any scar. But this soft abdomen made Pei Ye a little lovely, and he couldn't help but hold it in his arms and rub it twice.
