Xu Tianran sat on the threshold of the shop, listening to the sound of reading in the private school, and after a while, he saw the schoolchildren carrying small bookcases on their backs going home. When the schoolchildren saw the strange boy's gaze converge on Xu Tianran, they didn't expect to get an extremely ugly grimace, which startled some of the timid ones, and the older ones laughed instead.

Xu Tianran is too lazy to intrigue with these naïve children, he is the one who wants to become the number one swordsman in the world, and he will not go to a private school to go to school, his eyes drifted into the distance, he can't recognize the direction at a young age, he just looked at the way he came, and the last other place with his mother.

With a "squeak", the door of the vermilion private school slowly closed, interrupting the young man's fugue. An old man in white gently closed the door, and did not lock it, but hid it.

The old master's face is kind, making people look like a spring breeze, wearing a green shirt, elegant manners, and his beautiful hair moves slightly with the wind like a bent weeping willow, Xu Tianran immediately thinks of Lao Bai, with a full beard and sloppy, he is also an old man, why is the gap so big?

Xu Tianran saw the old master walking towards him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, what he was most afraid of in these years was not his father, not his mother, but the master of the school, he was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality at every turn, and he was also the one who said it, whenever he got into trouble, he was overwhelmed by the master's bitter words, he would rather the master beat him with a ring ruler, and the master seemed to have figured out his psychology, but he didn't give a good time, and took the soft knife of the sage and sage to cut him with a thousand knives.

The old master gestured to the young man sitting at the door with Erlang's legs crossed, "Is Mr. back?"

Xu Tianran was at a loss, hurriedly stood up, and bent down deeply, "Old man Bai, oh no, old Bai, it's not right, Mr. Bai is back." "It's very unaccustomed to call Lao Bai Mr. Bai, along the way, he either calls him Old Man Bai or Lao Bai, and it seems that he has never respected him in words, but he has a big heart, thinking that he respects him in his heart, and he puts respect on his lips every day, either a hypocrite, or a brain disease.

The old master glanced at the young man and said with a smile: "Please let the little gentleman report that Wu came over to eat." ”

Without waiting for Xu Tianran to answer, Lao Bai in the house yelled: "Don't be crepe at my door, you have to eat in, don't eat and get out." ”

The old master just smiled, and he didn't get angry, and touched two weeping willow beards, this is probably the demeanor of a master, Xu Tianran thought so in his heart, Lao Bai said that he was as tall as a one-story building, and the old master must be as high as a three-story building.

The old master stepped into the door, touched Xu Tianran's head, and asked gently, "Where is the little gentleman?"

The magic power that originally dealt with Lao Bai Sa splashing and rolling seemed to have completely lost its effect at this time, and the instinctive fear of the master prevailed, Xu Tianran actually said honestly: "My mother is from Jinyang, my mother is gone, and now she is from Qingshan Town." ”

The old master smiled and nodded, looking amiable, so kind that Xu Tian and then his back was soaked. Xu Tianran felt strange, he was a little tired of the master in his heart, and he was not afraid of the master like a tiger, could it be that he was used some kind of magic and suffered from the master's phobia.

The master glanced at Lao Bai, who was busy stir-frying, "Good." ”

In exchange for Lao Bai's sentence, "You are good, your whole family is good." ”

Lao Bai stroked Xu Tianran's head, the breath that made the young man tremble suddenly disappeared, and the young man finally returned to normal, but when he looked at the old master who looked like a master, the young man still had palpitations, the old master entered the door, and he hurriedly grabbed the door and went out.

As soon as he went out, he breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Tianran saw a handsome young man suddenly appear in front of the door, like an immortal, dressed in white and snow, with an emerald green delicate gourd pinned to his waist. The man in white took off the gourd on his waist, raised his head and took a big sip of wine, which was called a romantic freehand, much higher than the demeanor of the old white man. The young man's mind moved slightly, not to mention whether the boy in white had any talent, how many girls were harmed by such a handsome skin of the boy in white in Jinyang City.

The young man walked towards Xu Tianran, the young man was uneasy in his heart, could it be that the boy in white was Lao Bai's species, he didn't hear that Lao Bai had a daughter-in-law along the way, and besides, Lao Bai's cold appearance and marrying a fairy could not give birth to such a handsome and extraordinary son. The boy in white flicked his index finger in the air, and the young man received a chestnut in the air, which scared the young man into a ghost, turned around and ran into the house, shouting: "Lao Bai, I saw a ghost during the day, a snow-white ghost." ”

Lao Bai shook his head helplessly.

The young man turned around, with an ominous premonition in his heart, and sure enough, the ghost in white stood behind him, smiling and saying, "What kind of ghost do you say I am?"

Xu Tianran's eyes rolled, and he immediately offered a flattering smile, "Lao Bai said that there is a white-clothed immortal outside, and he can also spell, and his finger is like being hit by a stone, and the thief is powerful." ”

The corners of the white-clothed man's mouth rose slightly, "The kid has an appetite for me, Lao Bai, why don't you give me this kid, I like it?"

Xu Tianran's head was numb for a while, and he shivered like he had finished urinating, and he heard his mother say that there are some feminine men who don't like women, but they like men, and they have a habit of breaking their sleeves. In the middle of winter, beads of sweat oozed from the young man's forehead, "Lao Bai, I will definitely listen to you in the future, whatever you say is what, don't send me out, let's talk about each other, love each other, be blessed and enjoy hardships, you can't break your word." ”

The corners of Lao Bai's mouth twitched slightly, the old master stroked his beard that was more beautiful than a peacock's tail and smiled without showing his teeth, and the man in white laughed.

When a table of dishes was ready, Lao Bai took off his apron, "Let's eat."

The sluggish young man was suddenly refreshed, and he had the courage to be a starving ghost even if he died.

Lao Bai served rice to everyone, the old master, the boy in white and the bowl of rice were all normal sizes, Lao Bai's bowl was already big, and the rice was still full and a big bowl was towering high, and the young man was dumbfounded.

Lao Bai picked up a big bowl of rice that he couldn't see when he ate it, and glared at Xu Tianran, "Eat yours, see what I do?"

The young man quietly gave Lao Bai a thumbs up.

Lao Bai said while eating chicken: "I do manual work, unlike those two scholars who don't work, I should eat more." ”

The young man said melancholy: "I'm growing my body, I can eat more, I'm not a scholar, we are all doing manual work." ”

The young man looked around, "Old Bai, where is the wine?"

The corners of Lao Bai's mouth twitched, every time this goods came, he drank and took the good wine that he had treasured for many years, and he always suffered heavy losses, and often complained to Lao Wu that the "white peacock" was not kind, if he didn't drink like Lao Wu, he would be a lot more handsome.

"White Peacock" is the nickname given by Lao Bai to the boy in white, in the early years, Lao Bai ridiculed the boy in white for always wearing white clothes like a white peacock with an open screen, attracting the attention of women everywhere, it is simply a walking mating tool.

The boy in white is not disgusted with Lao Bai's ridicule, he is quite satisfied with the nickname of "White Peacock", he understands that it is normal for Lao Bai to be a little resentful when he has not been favored by women all his life.

After that, Xu Tianran didn't say a word, concentrated on eating and eating, he was under a lot of pressure, and the three of them grabbed food, and felt that he would suffer if he didn't have to do his best, especially if he still had a few empty teeth, it was okay to eat vegetables, but he couldn't keep up with their speed when he ate meat.

The boy in white didn't care about the old white's search, anyway, he did it himself, and he had enough food and clothing. He took a deep breath, sniffed, snapped his fingers, and said with a smile, "Found it." ”

Lao Bai's face turned pale, "I'll take it." If you let the "white peacock" get it, there will be no drop of your inventory left, and you can still have some left.

"White Peacock" laughed and said: "That's so embarrassing, you have been working very hard to cook, I can just do this little thing." ”

Lao Bai put down the basin bowl and grabbed the "white peacock" who was about to leave the table, "I'll go, or there will be a fight." ”

"White Peacock" picked up his long and narrow Danfeng eyes, "I'm not afraid of you in a fight." ”

After the old master who turned a deaf ear to it patiently chewed the rice and swallowed it slowly, he said calmly: "I'll go get it." ”

The man in white breathed a sigh of relief: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, otherwise I won't be able to get off the stage, the old white skin is rough and thick, and it's really boring to fight with him." ”

The old master entered the cellar with a familiar way, opened the secret door of the cellar along the aisle, tapped his fingers lightly on the ground, and listened to the third brick was hollow, so he lifted the floor tiles, and sure enough, there was a great world hidden underneath. Although the old master doesn't drink, but after dealing with Lao Bai for so many years, he naturally knows what kind of medicine is sold in Lao Bai's gourd, and the more exquisite the wine jug, the more ordinary the wine, and the more dilapidated the clay pot is, it is possible to hold good wine. The old master casually took a broken clay pot with an old red paper pasted on it and went upstairs.

Lao Bai looked at the wine jar in the old master's hand, and his flesh hurt so much, "I finally got the eighteen-year-old daughter red from Jiang Lao'er in Shaoxing, and I really lost it to my grandmother's house." ”

The old master looked calm, and the "white peacock" unceremoniously unveiled the mud seal, and the aroma of wine overflowed, "It's really good wine." ”

Lao Bai glanced at Lao Wu, "My life is not good, either I have a stall that doesn't drink a drop of alcohol and I don't have fun drinking together, or I have a drunken person who is so distressed that I can't do it when I drink." Lao Wu, if you don't always look like a decent man and a gentleman, besides, the sage didn't say that you are not allowed to drink, you can drink a little. ”

The old master was unmoved, and in line with the fine style of eating and sleeping silently, he straightened his waist and chewed slowly.

The boy in white really lost interest in the meal, and drank cup after cup, not forgetting to lick his lips after drinking, "Good wine, not a drop can be wasted." ”

The young man was full, had a long burp, patted his stomach and got off the table with satisfaction, Lao Bai drank a glass of wine, "Little cub, go feed Ah Huang, remember to brush the horse's nose." ”

Xu Tianran wanted to say that he could do heavy work at such a young age, but when he saw that the "white peacock" was eager to get his appearance, he was really afraid that Lao Bai would sell himself to the "white peacock", which would be even worse, so he honestly went to find Ah Huang.

The half-drunk "white peacock" said slowly: "The roots and bones are good, but unfortunately the spiritual veins are incomplete, and it is not difficult to practice, but it is not possible to attain the Tao." Lao Bai, this is the person you chose?"

The old master took the lead and said, "This is also the person I chose." ”

"White Peacock" was a little surprised: "It's a good thing that the two of you colluded, but it's a pity that a place is wasted, or give me one evenly." ”

Lao Bai glanced at the "white peacock", "You have two places alone, and you are embarrassed to speak, don't panic." Even if the quota is given to you, do you have any talented disciples? Your disciples are all peacocks, and they are useless. ”

"White Peacock" glanced back at Lao Bai, "My disciple can beat a thousand of those little rabbit cubs if he takes out any one." ”

Lao Bai laughed, "Ten years later, the little cub will beat you with a thousand peacocks, except for the heirloom." ”

"White Peacock" didn't care, anyway, what did Lao Bai Ai say, there is nothing good about this river and lake, and it's okay to have women and wine.

Xu Tianran finished feeding Ah Huang, moved a stool, and stood on the stool to wash Ah Huang's nose, Ah Huang squinted comfortably, and seemed to be very lively.

Ah Huang kicked and stepped on the floor, gasping for breath in his nostrils, as if he wanted to go into the mountains to play with the boy, the boy understood, led Ah Huang, who was much taller than himself, and walked out of the gate of the town together, the boy did not forget to make a grimace to the black-faced man who guarded the door, and immediately turned around and stopped looking, afraid to see the grimace of the black-faced man again, that was really scared to death.

Ah Huang threw off his four hooves and ran, Xu Tianran tried his best to chase behind, and went straight to the sky along the hiking trail of Tianma Mountain, the clouds and mist lingered on the mountain, the young man didn't know the taste of sorrow, the young man knew the taste of sorrow, how much melancholy turned into strength to run, it seemed that running and running could run out of the world's first swordsman.

"White Peacock" drank a glass of wine, "Lao Wu, it's not me talking about you, I really don't understand, why do you want to draw the ground as a prison, stay by Lao Bai's side and don't leave, you died in his hands in the last life, although he saved your life in this life, it can't be worth the debt, besides, even if the merits and demerits are offset, you can stand on your own, it's better than always nesting around this bad old man." ”

The old master picked up a cup of tea and said kindly: "I like to play chess with him, I lost him once in my last life, and I want to win enough in this life." ”

Lao Bai shook his head helplessly.

"White Peacock" asked curiously: "How many games of chess have you played so far, and how many times have you won?"

The old master smiled and said, "One hundred and eight thousand six hundred and thirty-seven rounds, I won one hundred and eighty-eight thousand six hundred and thirty-seven rounds. ”

"White Peacock" pointed at Lao Bai and couldn't hold back a smile: "Lao Bai, I didn't win a game, okay?"

Lao Bai said calmly: "Why don't you have a game with Lao Wu?" and then have some colorful heads, such as the gourd on your waist, or the white jade hairpin on your head, it's okay." ”

The "white peacock" shook his head, "My head is not broken, and I will not be the boy of good money." ”

Lao Bai poured a big bowl of wine and drank it all, "The person who can win Lao Wu's game has not yet appeared, and the person who can lose Lao Wu's 100,000 games will not appear in the future." ”

"White Peacock" rushed to drink, for fear that Lao Bai would finish drinking, both of them didn't care about any face problems, one bowl after another, one cup after another, only Lao Wu sat steadily, holding a pot of tea, warming his heart and stomach.

The old master didn't speak for a long time, and when the "white peacock" was half drunk, he said leisurely: "Li Dajian Immortal, it's rare to come here and not bring some greeting gifts to my apprentice, this is spread out that your name of Great Sword Immortal and Great Poetry Immortal can't be hung up." ”

"White Peacock" knows Lao Wu's temper, and he usually doesn't say it, and he is a blockbuster, especially when he doesn't call himself well, what is the big sword fairy and the big poet fairy, it is when he cuts his own meat. He would rather Lao Wu call himself "White Peacock" every time, anyway, he doesn't have any ill feelings about this nickname, but thinks it's very appropriate, and he shouts it, and he won't lose a piece of meat. "White Peacock" immediately protected his baby gourd and hairpin, and said helplessly: "If you don't have anything, you want a life, even if the two of you beat me together, I'm not afraid." If you can't beat it, you can always run it, and I am the only one in the world when it comes to running kung fu. ”

The old master smiled and said: "Yes, in the early years, he caused a lot of debts and was surrounded and suppressed by the fairies of the rivers and lakes, and his great skills are not comparable to those below." ”

"White Peacock" pouted, "Since I dare to come, I'm ready to cut the meat, I'll leave the words down today, I'll teach him my unique sword method, which has never been learned only by my direct disciples." If ten years later, that little cub can really defeat a thousand of my outer disciples by himself, I will give him another chance. ”

Lao Bai nodded, "Pick the door, who doesn't know, you have many disciples, and it's not too much to teach more." ”

The old master nodded in agreement.

"White Peacock" was annoyed and angry, "I drank half a jar of your wine to exchange for a set of sword methods, why did you pick it out." ”

The old master sat down and said, "Maybe I'll have to ask you for a needle when the time comes." ”

"White Peacock" immediately shook his head, "Don't give it." ”

Lao Bai said anxiously: "You can take the wine from the cellar." ”

"White Peacock" looked shocked, "Lao Bai, this is a thousand kills and eight hundred self-losses, that little rabbit cub has only been with you for a few days, do I know that you have a bottle of Du Kang's thousand-year-old wine in the cellar?"

Lao Bai's face was so black that he could wring out the water, and he still said categorically: "Deal." ”

The figure of the "white peacock" flashed, and the wine in the dark grid was swept away, Lao Bai's face became more and more iron-blue, and the air was as quiet as if it had been frozen.

The young man ran a trip to the mountain, returned to the shop with Ah Huang, just entered the door, wanted to ask Lao Bai for a pill, and before he could speak, he heard Lao Bai yelling: "Get out." ”

The boy slipped away and disappeared without a trace.

The figure of the "white peacock" flashed, and came to a big banyan tree, the young man in green shirt sat on the branch, looking into the distance, he knew that he was going all the way to the south, and now he could roughly distinguish the direction according to the direction of the sun, and sat facing north, looking into the distance. The "white peacock" jumped lightly and sat next to the young man, who was accustomed to the nervousness and elusiveness of the "white peacock", and was not surprised or delighted.

"White Peacock" pinched the young man's swarthy and tender face, "I heard that you want to be the number one swordsman in the world, then you and Lao Bai have no chance, he doesn't know how to use a sword, I am the best at playing swords, or if you enter my door, I will accept you as a disciple." ”

The young man frowned and was distressed, preconceived to put the white-clothed immortal into the category of broken sleeves, the current young man is very melancholy, he can't tell the truth, that is very hurtful, his mother said, there is nothing wrong with breaking the sleeves, it's just that the orientation is different, the well water does not violate the river water. "White Peacock" wanted to accept himself as an apprentice several times, and it really proved that he was a rare genius in the world, Lao Bai's realm was mediocre, and he was a sincere and honest man, anyway, he was still young, and after learning Lao Bai's kung fu first, he would go to the rivers and lakes. The young man was thoughtful in his heart, and rolled his eyes: "Li Dajian Immortal, although I really want to learn swords from you, but Lao Bai is old, he saved me, I can't be ungrateful, wait until I give him a pension and send him off to the end of the year, how about learning swords from you?"

The white-clothed immortal shook his head helplessly, how many swordsmen in the rivers and lakes broke their heads in order to see their own side, not to mention being instructed by themselves, it was all the luck of the three lives, and the ancestral tomb was smoking. "White Peacock" looked down at the very cute-looking and thoughtful child, and it was unexpected and expected that he refused to learn the sword with him, otherwise how could he be selected by Lao Bai and Lao Wu at the same time?

"White Peacock" sighed, "Teach you a sword technique, you listen carefully, I'll only say it once." ”

Xu Tianran did not refuse, calm his mind, listen carefully, and his young memory was excellent, but he could never forget what he wanted to learn.

"White Peacock" originally only wanted to teach Xu Tianran the same swordsmanship as his inner disciples, but when he thought of Lao Bai and Lao Wu's faces, he taught his latest sword technique to the young man. The former has a low threshold and is suitable for young practitioners who are progressive, while the latter has an extremely high threshold and cannot comprehend the essence and cannot enter the method for the rest of their lives.

Ten years later, when the young man asked the Sword Sect, there were thousands of people in the world who used swords, and the sect was innumerable, daring to take the Sword Sect as the name, this is the only one, and there is no other semicolon.

The boy memorized the method of the sword word for word, which was a little obscure, but for a boy who had not yet come into contact with the world of cultivation, he remembered it.

The "white peacock" took off the gourd and took a sip of wine, the wine from Lao Bai was particularly delicious, but thinking about the needle, it was really distressing. Suddenly, a flying sword flew out of the gourd, and a white cloth jumped on the flying sword, turning into a long rainbow and disappearing into the sky. The sword qi wrote a sentence in the clouds in the sky, kill one person in ten steps, and do not stay for a thousand miles.

The old master looked at the words on the horizon, and said with a smile: "Old problem, I like to put music in front of my juniors." ”

Lao Bai took a sip, "Wang Ba Lamb, I didn't leave a drop of wine." ”

The young man looked at the sky stupidly, maybe one day, I could also cross the gate of heaven with a sword and behead for thousands of miles.
