The two stood in the corridor, and Lin Yi hesitated: "Miss Qin Rou is not in good health, shall we go later?"

Black Hawk got out of the bookcase, flew to the edge of the bed, and shook his wings, "I'm fine, just sleep for a while, you don't have to scruple." ”

"Please also ask Miss Qin Rou to rest early. Lin Yi arched his fist and apologized, and asked again, "What about Brother Su?"

Luo Caiwei spread her hands and said, "Brother Su was just called away by the bearded old man, and now I don't know where to go." ”

"Old man with a beard?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then turned his mind and said suddenly: "Oh, you mean Old Master Zhuping." ”

"Yes, he seems to know Brother Su, and just after we finished dividing the bedroom, he came over and took Brother Su away. ”

"I see, Brother Su is very popular. Lin Yi nodded, thoughtful.

"Brother Lin, let's go up there, I heard that the roof of the building is a stargazing platform!" Luo Caiwei shouted, pulling his sleeve and dragging it out.

The two trotted into the lobby, and there were few people at this time, only more than a dozen rows of benches neatly stacked, facing the north podium in turn.

Luo Caiwei ran up the stairs, and Lin Yi helplessly followed. When he came to the second floor, he could see that the space was vast, the roof was high, hundreds of scholars were busy on the workbench, and there were piles of mechanical parts all around, and Duan Ruyi was in it.

When she found her companion, she immediately waved her hand: "Two, come here!"

The two walked to the table, Duan Ruyi put down the tools, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said excitedly: "Lin Gongzi, do you remember the young man we rescued last month?"

Lin Yi thought about it for a while, and said with a vague memory: "Li ...... Li San?" After a few pauses, he asked again: "What's the matter, suddenly mentioning him?"

Duan Ruyi said with a smile: "He is also an organ master, and when he is appointed, he is next to me!"

Without waiting for more words, Duan Ruyi led the two around a few tables and stopped in front of a young man, who was holding strange parts in his hand, carefully piecing together the trap beast, unaware of the arrival of outsiders.

"Hey!" Duan Ruyi shouted softly, waking up the other party, smashing the parts on the table, raising her head in a panic, revealing a cowardly smile, "It turned out to be benefactors, congratulations to you for successfully passing the first test." ”

"Rejoice, rejoice. Lin Yi returned the courtesy. Luo Caiwei looked at the work in his hands and asked curiously, "Li San, will you be a trap beast?"

"I have admired the name of Duan Shengshou since I was a child, and I aspire to become a mechanic. Li San's eyes were fascinated, and before Lin Yi could express the doubts in his heart, he explained: "The villain is from Chongzhou, and as early as when the engongs came, he was entangled by the beggar gang, harassing and provoking every day. ”

Lin Yi said solemnly: "Please ask for details." ”

Li San took a towel to wipe his hands, led everyone to a hidden corner, and said in a low voice: "The beggar gang forced me to do tricks and feet on the machine beast, so that their deputy gang leader could easily pass the second exam and get a good ranking." The villain refused, so they found trouble and made threats. ”

"Release the water?" Luo Caiwei was angry, crossed her hands on her waist, and shouted loudly: "Shameless thief, stealing and playing tricks, this girl is going to denounce him!"

Lin Yi hurriedly covered her mouth, and looked back, the scholars were addicted to the work in their hands, but fortunately no one paid attention. Li San was startled and begged: "Girl, don't be impulsive, there have always been many people in Xingyuezhai who have participated in the test, and I am afraid that the beggars will be angry and angry, and go back to retaliate and harm my relatives." ”

Lin Yi bowed slightly: "Brother Li is reasonable, the kid used to run the hall in Huajiang, and the girls were often teased by fierce men. Then the young offspring couldn't see it, and he fought and saved the woman......"

"Heroes save beauty, this dare is good!" Luo Caiwei clapped her hands and shouted.

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "What's good, this group of juniors didn't care about their heads and tails, and they were happy, and they were proud." But it was the woman's turn to suffer, and the next day she was retaliated by those gangsters, implicating her family, forcing the girls to jump into the river by hanging beams, which was miserable. ”

Luo Caiwei stomped her feet fiercely and said angrily: "It's really hateful, there is no royal law anymore!"

Lin Yi let out a long sigh and said weakly: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the black alley and gutter are full of human lives, where can I manage it?"

"It's fine. Duan Ruyi's eyes were cold, and he sneered: "Don't denounce him first, wait for me to build a top-grade puppet and manipulate it secretly, and see how he passes the assessment!"

"It's a wonderful method. Lin Yi also agreed.

Everyone was angry and went back to work. Lin Yi and Luo Caiwei walked up to the third floor and bumped into Su Chongxiu, who was coming out of a study, and Zhu Ping was beside him to see him off.

Su Chongxiu panicked slightly, then recovered his expression, said goodbye to Zhu Ping, stopped the two and asked, "Brother Lin, Miss Luo, what do you want to come here?"

"Brother Su, I heard that the roof of the building is a stargazing platform, I want to go up and have a look. ”

Su Chongxiu smiled softly, pushed the shoulders of the two and rushed down, "There are rules in the fast, the equipment of the stargazing platform is valuable, and it is not open to outsiders, let's go to the backyard." ”

"Backyard?" Luo Caiwei blinked.

Su Chongxiu patiently explained: "There are still three months before the second exam, and everyone is studying martial arts in the backyard - don't you want to take a look?"

"Okay. She applauded and cheered.

Lin Yi stared at Su Chongxiu, and suddenly spoke: "Brother Su has worked hard. He said, "What kind of hardship?"

"Duty is hard. Lin Yi woke up with a word.

Su Chongxiu was speechless, met his eyes, hesitated for a few breaths, and then shook his right shoulder and complained: "I don't understand." ”

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, noncommittal. The three of them went downstairs and turned to the backyard, where the river was rushing outside the fence and the sound of the water was roaring, and nearly 100 knights gathered in the field, armed with swords and clubs, and surrounded an old man to comment on his head.

The old man was sturdy, his arm muscles were bulging, he stood on his side with his hips, shook off a wooden gun with both hands, took a breath, and his eyes converged. The tip of the gun suddenly turned to the left, then smashed to the right, and finally the gun was stabbed out, and the rod was reset. Except for the stabs, the gun does not leave the waist throughout the whole process, and the moves are small and exquisite, without any burden.

The spectators applauded and cheered: "Yanbei Tiger, Old Man Yu, the spear is really extraordinary!"

Yu Jingrong closed his crotch and hugged his fists, saluted the Quartet, and said modestly: "Awards, awards, little old man's tricks are embarrassing for everyone's reputation." ”

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he was about to applaud, when a handsome young man in the distance stepped forward and said contemptuously: "What is this, I think one of my brothers back then, the dancing gun is much more powerful than him!"

Yu Jingrong's face turned dark, rubbed the barrel of the gun, and said embarrassedly: "What kind of hero is this young man, and does he know marksmanship...... The old man is willing to listen to him. ”

"My name is Xue Qinglong, and I am good at swordsmanship. The handsome young man proudly reported his name, stood in the middle of the square, and said disdainfully: "The marksmanship is clumsy, and the young master is too lazy to learn." With that, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, and the cold light was dazzling, shaking everyone's eyes slightly.

The three beautiful girls who were traveling with them huddled together and laughed continuously, and shouted crisply: "Young Master Xue, come on, let them take a look at the ancestral swordsmanship of the Xue family!"

A middle-aged man shouted: "You are the sword master of Shu Kingdom, the queen of Xue Batian?"

"Exactly!" Xue Qinglong puffed up his chest and bathed in the blazing gaze of everyone.

"Brother Su, who is Xue Batian, he is very famous, right?" Luo Caiwei watched with relish. "I've heard of it. Su Chongxiu seemed to be smiling, and said slowly: "The ancestors of the Xue family opened a martial arts hall, and the disciples were all over Shu, and it was rumored that Xue Daxia only relied on a wooden stick to subdue three knife-wielding gangsters, and captured Nanyang Hercules, which was famous and shocked the martial arts. ”

After a pause, he said: "But with the same skill, one gunner can be worth three swordsmen, presumably this Young Master Xue has excellent martial arts skills, and he is a leader, so he dares to go on stage and smash the field." ”

Xue Qinglong's long sword was held high, shining under the scorching sun, and he chanted loudly: "The gun and stick are too vulgar, and they are not as chic as the sword." My generation cultivates and asks, in order to seek immortality and get rid of the ordinary, take the three-foot Qingfeng to kill the demons in the world, and the sword rises in the wind and travels freely in the four seas. Just like the Tao Jingyun, swallowing a pill in the abdomen, I know that my life is not up to heaven!"

As soon as the words fell, the long sword was swung like a piece of silver light. He rushed left and right, jumping up and down, his moves were light and elegant, with endless changes, and tigers and tigers. Everyone opened their mouths to stammer, Xue Qinglong snickered proudly, turned seven or eight heels in a row, stood still, put his sword into the sheath, and raised his head and said: "The younger generation is ugly!"

"Young Master Xue is so good!" the female companions rushed over to greet him and came back around him.

"Brother Lin, what do you think?" Su Chongxiu forced a smile and asked sideways.

Lin Yi nodded his head again and again, and praised: "The posture is chic, the moves are smart, the left and the right are flickering, pointing to the east and the west, sweeping in all directions......" coughed, and his voice changed sharply: "But the routine is wide open and closed, and the strength is too strong, and I don't guard the middle palace." It's just a good look, it's hard to fight, and at most it's in the hands of Old Man Yu through three moves. ”

"One shot is enough for him. Su Chongxiu lifted his forehead and sighed.

Luo Caiwei pouted and said: "I look very handsome, I can't help it, and I speak very handsome." ”

"That's it, the second exam is coming, time is pressing, and we will also go to practice martial arts. Lin Yi greeted. The three of them occupied the corner, Su Chongxiu sat down cross-legged, took out the scroll from his arms, and spread it out to read.

Luo Caiwei hurriedly said, "Brother Su doesn't need to practice?"

"It's good to read a book, you're busy. Su Chongxiu turned the page and recited, engrossed.

Luo Caiwei played a set of boxing techniques, Lin Yi pulled out Hanguang, slashed at a glance, occasionally closed the knife to his chest, and then stabbed forward, all of which were basic moves.

I don't know when, Xue Qinglong walked to the side, stood and watched for a while, and sneered: "Girl, this friend of yours is average in martial arts, how did he pass the assessment in the first place?"

Lin Yi was afraid that outsiders would steal the learning, so he didn't use the Liangyi sword technique, and he didn't want to be laughed at by him, so he turned around and said angrily: "The kid's martial arts are shallow, and it is difficult to enter the eyes and ears of the young man, can you ask for two tricks?"

"Oh, dare to challenge me?" Xue Qinglong snorted coldly, looked at Lin Yi a few times, and felt that he was not his opponent. He immediately pulled out his long sword, stood a few feet away, and shouted, "Then come!"

"Brother Lin?" Luo Caiwei was quite surprised, he was low-key and humble on weekdays, how could he be abnormal today?

"Got it. After Lin Yi finished speaking, he raised his knife and pounced. Xue Qinglong didn't dare to slack off, and stabbed him with his sword, pointing it at his throat. Lin Yi slightly shone on the side, and opened the sword edge, exposing the gap in the opponent's chest, but he didn't take the opportunity to attack, but took a step back, pretending to parry.

"But Erl. Xue Qinglong said happily, raising his sword and stabbing again. Lin Yi pretended to be invincible, and a knife made it disorganized, making him scramble, taking care of one thing and losing the other.

After only a few moves, Xue Qinglong found a flaw, the long sword drilled through the cracks, stopped at his throat, and when he reached the point, he gasped and said, "Accept, accept." ”

"Your Excellency's swordsmanship is exquisite, and the boy is ashamed of himself. Lin Yi sighed, lowered his head, and held back a smile on his face.

"Girl, your companion's martial arts are commonplace, if you want to learn some advanced skills, you might as well consult me. Xue Qinglong put his sword into the sheath with a long voice, strutted his head, and walked away.

When he walked away, Su Chongxiu covered his stomach with one hand, patted his legs and smiled: "Hey, Brother Lin, you are too vicious!"

"Where is the viciousness?" Lin Yi looked innocent, but his eyes showed cunning.
