At the time, the white horse slope outside Chang'an City.

This place has nothing to do with the white horse slope of "Chopping Yanliang", and the small dirt slope with a height difference of about three feet has been covered with snow. The naturally growing locust trees and ginkgo biloba trees on both sides are covered with ice cubes, and some snow falls from time to time, and occasionally the branches and leaves are overwhelmed and fall down.

Ye Yunsheng stood with his back against an old locust tree, and he didn't move his body, quiet and patient, as if waiting for a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

He was supposed to wait for a duel, but his mind drifted to the first time he fought a sword with a man - he could repeat the exact same action countless times, no matter how subtle, but he couldn't control his thoughts...... It was a summer, the weather was very hot, and I remember that what I wanted to do most after the sword competition was to take a shower.

At that time, he had just left the school and entered the rivers and lakes, jerky, immature, not afraid of anything, full of vitality and hope.

The opponent is not a famous master, the two catch each other and fight indiscriminately, there is no targeted move, no clue, all rely on instinct to make the sword.

He won, and he won because the light-chasing shadow swordsmanship was much better than the opponent's nameless swordsmanship...... The other party actually lost at the beginning, but neither side knew this at the time.

Later he won again and again. met Fang Zimo and also won. He became more and more interested in practicing swords, thinking about the use of sword moves all the time, and like a hungry man who never had enough to eat, he frantically learned the swordsmanship of various sects - half to win, and half to love that he could not explain.

Until I met the old man, who did not tell him his name. Many people think that this is just a story told by hearsay, and it sounds like an adventure that a storyteller came up with...... In fact, he didn't believe it at the time, the sword score that the old man gave him would be the swordsmanship that Lu Xianren left in the mortal world.

He still remembered that the old man took out a dusty wooden box from under the bed, and there were two secret books in it, one was "Useless Swordsmanship" and the other was "Bright Light Divine Guard".

There are a total of 997 useless sword techniques, nearly 1,000 moves! I have never heard of any kind of sword technique with so many moves, and none of these sword moves are the same. He has been practicing for a year, and he can barely do it, but when it comes to getting started, it is far from enough......

Since then, he has never been able to compare to Fang Zimo.

His opponent came and rode a young and sturdy southwestern horse.

The swordsman, like the horse he was riding, young and strong, with an erect posture, dismounted from his horse, tied it to a tree, patted it gently on the neck, then removed the sword from the strap, and drew his sword as he untied his broad black cloak, and asked him with a smile.

"Are you ready?"

Such a graceful and good-looking swordsman is undoubtedly an excellent opponent, even if he dies under his sword, Ye Yunsheng will not have any regrets.

He drew his sword, not to win or lose, but to make the sword for the last time in this earthly world.

Life is like a dream, seeking truth in dreams.

Learning swords all his life is just to listen to the whistling wind in the cold silver light.

The swordsman smiled and said, "You and I have no enmity, it's just the rules of the rivers and lakes." Not just from Changshan, surnamed Liang Mingjie, just out of the rivers and lakes without a name, don't report home, there is a request before the duel, and please listen to the brother for the time being. ”

Ye Yunsheng was not in a hurry, he just put the scabbard on the side of the old locust tree and faced the swordsman.

"Because there are still two brothers and three sisters in the family, and the old parents are still alive, if they lose to their brother Tai in the sword competition, please also entrust the corpse under to the transfer, and communicate with Changshan's home, and there is a letter sent to the family in the saddle, and it is also carried together. As for the belongings, they are all handed over to the brother to handle...... Life and death are fateful, and I dare not hold grudges. ”

Ye Yunsheng lowered the tip of his sword, hugged his fist with the hilt of the sword, he had not been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and after listening to the other party's words, there was a trace of blood surging, and he agreed and said: "A cheap name is not enough to worry about, the gentleman is open, and he has nothing else to ask for, and he dies under the sword of the emperor, which is enough to comfort his life." ”

He is not worried about the death of the violent corpse wilderness, Yu Liang will definitely come, and he will definitely take it home after seeing it, as long as the person goes back, everything will be explained.

Wife, daughter, Haruko, Zimo, and many other people and things, he thought a lot in one night, couldn't finish thinking about it, couldn't finish thinking about it, but when he swung the sword, there was only one thought left in his mind.

He wants to finish nine hundred and ninety-seven useless swordsmanship.

It doesn't hurt to die.

............

Huangquan Medical Garden, Lao Li is making medicine. This flavor medicine is extremely difficult to prepare, and the amount of seven herbs cannot be wrong at all, one of which is the Tianshan Snow Lotus that was only purchased a few days ago, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is hard to find, just mashed the herbs, the door curtain was lifted, and Yu Liang hurriedly ran in.

"Master, it's no good, Uncle Ye went to Baimapo by himself!"

Lao Li didn't stop with his hands, didn't raise his head, and only asked, "When did you go?"

"It's been half an hour. ”

Lao Li didn't speak, and added another herb to it.

Yu Liang was so anxious that he couldn't stand up, wandering left and right, and asked, "Otherwise, if I go to find Fang Daxia, he will definitely have a way to save Uncle Ye." ”

Lao Li held the stone mortar in his hand, and he didn't stop for a moment, but said coldly: "He is begging for death by himself, and he can't complain about others." It's useless for you to go to Fang Zimo now, within ten moves, he will die under the opponent's sword, what can Fang Zimo do if he goes? ”

He took a handful of crimson herbs from a cabinet and placed them in the vessel.

"In this way, didn't we kill Uncle Ye?" Yu Liang cried urgently, everyone was made by him! What a grievance and shame, as if he had killed a good person by mistake.

Lao Li raised his head, his eyes were red, and he hissed and scolded his apprentice: "You idiot, what are the rivers and lakes? Ye Yunsheng promised me to go to the duel, life and death are conceited, he is dead, and he is buried! This is the rivers and lakes!"

He smashed the herbs vigorously, lowered his head, and his voice was also low, gradually calming down: "I am the Holy Hand of the rivers and lakes, you are the apprentice of the Holy Hand of the rivers and lakes, if you don't understand the rivers and lakes, you can't be my apprentice." Now you go and take Ye Yunsheng back to his home!"

............

The sword wind had already swept away the snow, and the wet blades of grass under the snow layer were still sticking to the ground, and countless footprints had been stepped on.

Ye Yunsheng, who was obsessed with using useless swordsmanship, had already produced more than four hundred swords.

Liang Jie, a swordsman from Changshan, was able to attack a few moves at the beginning, and then he was all on the defensive, his footwork was not chaotic, his strength was unloaded, and his edge was hidden, and a long sword in his hand was ordinary, and there were already more than a dozen gaps.

He was skillful in his sword moves, and four sets of swordsmanship were patched together, barely resisting. Thread-eyed sword, chaotic cloak, Shi A seventy-two style, point canghui wind dancing willow, these four swordsmanship are obviously often used by him to dismantle moves, and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes will not have him so skillful sword moves and footwork, and I don't know which master taught the disciples.

Ye Yunsheng didn't think about anything else, only focused on one sword and one move, the bright light and the god guarded the sword body, the sword momentum spread like a storm, and he was also enchanted, starting from the first move, it seemed that there was no opponent in front of him, and it was precisely because he had no killing intent in his heart that Liang Jie could keep his sword moves, but his internal strength was strong after all, even if he withdrew from the rivers and lakes, he never slackened, and still practiced every day.

After fighting for another 200 moves, Liang Jie only felt that his chest was extremely suffocated, his throat ached, and his internal luck was not as good as usual. He knew that his internal strength was not as good as the other party, the two swords intersected, and the opponent's internal strength crashed into his body, and he had already consumed too much internal strength, so he didn't hesitate, and the sword move changed abruptly. He unleashed a lightning-fast sword move, as if chasing light and breaking shadows, as if he could cut off people's shadows and cut through the light.

There are too many people in the rivers and lakes who use fast swords, and sword moves should be fast, which cannot be achieved by diligent practice. It is important to know that sword training is not to boil up strength, in which the door is broad and profound, how to make the sword faster than the opponent?

Just like making noodles, some people burn noodles like chewing wax, and some people burn noodles with gluten so much that they can satisfy their tongue without adding ingredients. The technique of mixing the noodles, the way of drying, the degree of boiling water, the tightness below, and the heat of cooking must be paid attention to, and there are methods.

The fast sword pays more attention to footwork, there is a way of luck, from the foot to the leg, from the leg to the waist, from the waist to the shoulder, from the shoulder to the wrist, from the wrist to the fingers, there is also a way to move the inner breath, there are also requirements for the root bone, how to make the sword faster is a knowledge that all the people who practice the sword are studying. Swordsmanship and internal strength have also been researched and innovated by countless people and have been distinguished from those of superior and inferior.

Therefore, there are only a handful of fast swords in the rivers and lakes, among which Yu Wang Jian's single-handed swordsmanship chasing light and shadow is well-known in the martial arts and stands alone in the rivers and lakes.

This quick sword move did not hurt Ye Yunsheng, but it interrupted the rhythm of his nine hundred and ninety-seven useless swordsmanship and cut off his closed mind.

He suddenly stepped back and looked at Liang Jie with a strange look.

Liang Jie took a breath back, stepped forward, and struck another quick sword.

Ye Yunsheng actually stepped forward and made an identical sword move.

The two swords struck each other, Liang Jie was shocked back two steps, and he was not small, but when he saw a pair of down-and-out dueling opponents who were not good-looking, he actually used the master's mastery of swordsmanship, and then another sword attack, it turned out to be a clear shadow move in the swordsmanship of chasing light and shadow, the tip of the sword shook five sword shadows, and finally went straight into the middle palace, and he hurriedly replied with a move.

Ye Yunsheng didn't think deeply when he saw this move, if it was Master Yuwang Sword, the next move would be the thirteenth style, then cut the lung gate, turn the fifteenth style, take the left hand empty door, and force himself to retreat with the sword, so that he could hand over the flying sword, or cut off the tendons.

He immediately used a move against the fifteenth style, and at this time, Liang Jie was using the thirteenth style, and the sword blade was right on the back of his hand, and he was in a hurry and slapped the sword edge away. Liang Jie's next move used twenty-one styles, walking on the sword stream, the tip of the sword slashed towards his legs, he blocked, the sword blade turned to the left, empty, in his image, Liang Jie should have returned to the palace and appeared here, raising his sword to stab him Cloud Gate.

But Liang Jie is just a sword stroke, a simple move and a third style of backhand.

He was in a hurry again.

When Liang Jie came out with the seventh sword, Ye Yunsheng had already lost, and the ordinary remnant sword that had opened countless openings lightly tapped on his chest.

Liang Jie quickly put away his sword, bent down to make a big salute, and shouted, "Senior brother!"

Ye Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses and saluted, and shouted, "Senior brother." ”

At this time, Yuan Yu Liang arrived, and when he saw such a scene, he said with a surprised face: "You are not fighting?"

Ye Yunsheng returned the sword to the sheath and said, "He is a disciple of my Yu Wang Sword Master. Go back and tell your master, don't worry about this matter. ”

After sending Yu Liang back, he took Liang Jie's hand and said, "Come back with me to see your sister-in-law, talk about it...... I haven't been in the rivers and lakes all these years, and I haven't visited the master, I don't know how his old man is, it's useless to accept me, but it's really a big shame for his old man, does he often scold me in front of you?"

The wife tore some of the crude tea balls hidden at home and made tea for Ye Yunsheng and Liang Jie, and the daughter looked curiously at the gentle guest uncle on the side. Liang Jie was not good at talking to children, but just smiled. The wife brought her daughter into the house and left the yard for the two.

Liang Jie looked at the surrounding environment, and said to Ye Yunsheng with a slight dissatisfaction: "Senior brother, what do you rely on to make a living now, how can you let your sister-in-law and niece suffer from such poverty?"

Ye Yunsheng didn't care about this, he just said: "There is nothing wrong with being poor and happy, as long as you are not disturbed by the rivers and lakes, you can put a noodle stall on the street every day, watch your daughter grow up quietly, and practice swords alone, which is actually quite freehand." ”

Seeing him say this, Liang Jie was speechless for a while, so he drank coarse tea, although the tea soup is not beautiful, but the taste is sweet and bitter, warm and relieves fatigue, but it is the same as the life of a small family in the narrow courtyard of the alley, and there is no need for leisure.

"When did you bow down to Master?"

"Six years ago, I entered the master's door, at that time I had already practiced Qinggang shock, and the words went to the sword, originally one of my cousins had a relationship with the master, and introduced me to the past, but the master accepted me, and for the first three years, he has refused to pass on my "Chasing the Light and Broken Shadow". It's just that five sets of swordsmanship have been passed on. ”

Ye Yunsheng lowered his gaze, felt distressed and ashamed for a while, and asked in a low voice, "But because of me?"

Liang Jie was also a little sad, and said: "Master said that the most proud thing in his life is that he has accepted a disciple, who is extremely talented, no one can compare, and only one person is enough in the rivers and lakes of the Chasing Light and Shadow Sword Technique." ”

Ye Yunsheng suddenly burst into tears when he heard this, and said sadly and angrily: "I, Ye Yunsheng, am ashamed of my teacher, I have cultivated for several years, like a master and a father, instead of passing on the master's skills to the world, but instead of passing on the master's skills to the world, I have become a useless name in the world, so that the master is laughed at by the people of the world, how incompetent, how unscrupulous!"

"Master waited for three years, and when he saw that you completely withdrew from the rivers and lakes, and there was no sound anymore, he finally gave up and passed on the swordsmanship to me. Not long ago, when I learned swordsmanship and returned home after bidding farewell to my master, my master told me that if I met my brother, I must bring a few words. ”

Ye Yunsheng left the seat, knelt on the ground, put his hands on his forehead, and knocked down.

If he didn't have a master, he wouldn't have been able to appreciate the charm of swordsmanship and the profundity of martial arts. If he didn't have a master, he would have spent his life in that ordinary village, farming, raising chickens, and living a life with only one hole in the blue sky.

Liang Jie didn't look at him, his eyes fell on the sword wrapped in dirty cloth on the table, and he thought of the look on his master's face when he told him, it was a smile full of hope that never gave up......

"He said to the old man, once said to you to use the sword one way, people-oriented, strong people are strong swords. Over the years, he suddenly changed his mind, the sword can hurt others, but also hurt himself, the way of the sword is in the sword, based on the sword. If you put down the sword, you will have no kendo, and although you can't hurt yourself, you can't hurt others. Master finally asked me to ask you, what was the first sentence he said when he brought you back to teach you to learn swords, do you remember?"

Ye Yunsheng slowly stood up and looked at the sword resting on the table, wrapped in dirty cloth.

"Of course I do. On that day, Master handed me a long sword and asked me to hold it, and then said, 'To learn a sword, you must first hold the sword, no matter how skillful the swordsmanship is, how to make it out without a sword.' ”

Seven years out of the world...... The master still cares about him, an unscrupulous disciple who has no potential.

His scarred heart has added a new mark today, so deep, so painful!

............

The jade dish produced by the official kiln was smashed to the ground and shattered, and the delicate and delicious rice cakes were scattered and tumbled, stained with dust, as if frightened, and avoided the owner in the seat.

Wei Xian's face was full of anger, and he stared at the three people in front of him imposingly.

There are iron sword scholar Xu Qing, Chang'an sword king Xie Ding, and Thousand Illusion Electric Shuttle Xia Yunxian.

"Is there anything worse than no news? No news means that Yan is not dead when he returns! Who would hide a dead man?"

Xie Ding was unmoved, and the old god was saying: "The injuries she suffered can't be saved by ordinary people, and there are only five people in the rivers and lakes in Chang'an City, which is actually very easy to find." ”

Xu Qing said lightly: "But these five people are not easy to mess with." ”

Xia Yunxian smiled charmingly, and counted out the names one by one: "The senior monk of Guolin Temple is a monk first, this old monk is a famous martial arts master, and going to him for trouble will undoubtedly cause several seniors, we can't hold back." Holy Hand Lao Li is even more troublesome, his Huangquan Medical Court has countless hidden weapons and poisons, if you don't let you in, you can only stare dryly. Flesh and blood butcher knife Lin Lao Ghost doesn't have to think about it, he will only kill people, not save people. Ning Cangsheng of the Ning family, he will save people, but I would rather offend the monk Xiandu than dare to offend the Ning family. Finally, it is Lingyun Sword Immortal Fang Zimo, this is your old opponent, the Xinyi Alliance is a little down now, but it is not something that the three of us plus the Sword King's subordinates can deal with. ”

Wei Xian snorted coldly and said proudly: "Then can the city defense army deal with hundreds of officials and officials in Chang'an?"

Xia Yunxian covered her mouth and smiled, her peach blossom eyes blinked, and said, "Lord Wei, if you give an order, who else in Chang'an City will not be able to pick it up?"

Xu Qing suddenly remembered someone, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them.

Seven years ago, the opponent of the Storm Wave Sword Society, are you okay now? With your skills, you can do it, right?

............

For Ye Yunsheng, Xu Qing had disappeared in his memory for too long, and he could barely remember his appearance.

So many experiences in the rivers and lakes seem to have passed away with the wind.

He invited his junior brother Liang Jie to have a meal at home, and then sent him back to his residence, walking slowly all the way, especially cherishing this little time.

The junior brother was by his side, which triggered his thoughts and guilt about the master, and the emotion was like wine, the more it was brewed, the more fragrant it became, he only felt that the junior brother was so good, and the master had a successor.

"You still need to be careful when walking the rivers and lakes, and it doesn't hurt to suffer a small loss. If...... It's a big trouble, you can come to my brother, although I quit the rivers and lakes, but in the end I still have some friends in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Okay, thank you, brother. ”

"Then how did Dong Si offend you?"

"It's not offending me. ”

As soon as the two of them left the city, they walked through the West Market, and not far in front of them was the Drunken Immortal Fang, and Liang Jie's horse followed behind the two, and they were also pacing slowly, very leisurely.

Maybe it's close to the Drunken Fairy Fang, and there are more little ladies selling flowers on the street, some of them are beautiful, buy flowers, and take the little lady to find a place to sit, such as the Drunken Fairy Fang. They won't lie in bed with you, but they can drink, eat, tea, and chat, just charge a few extra flowers.

"When passing through Beibi Mountain, I met a man, his whole family died in the hands of Dong Si, because he had a sister, who was as beautiful as an orchid, and was seen by Dong Si, so he stepped forward to rob him, and his family came out to stop him, and they were all killed. This man knows some martial arts, but he can't beat Dong Si, his lungs are pierced, and he wants to break the acupoints, and when I arrived, I only left a breath...... It's really miserable, I promised him that I would take Dong Si's life. ”

"Are you still going to find Dong Si?"

"A gentleman promises a thousand gold, how can he not find it?"

"It's never too late to go home and see your family first. Besides, if you hurt him, he may come to you. ”

"I'm going to go home first...... Homesick. It's good that he doesn't come, but if he comes, just let him be reincarnated as soon as possible, so as not to harm the world. ”

I don't know if Liang Jie mentioned the word "world", Ye Yunsheng lost his sex, he sent his junior brother to Zuixianfang, and then told each other.
