There was a continuous spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the rain was not heavy, and it was dripping, but if you stayed in the rain for a long time, you would still wet your hair and clothes.

The weather has already warmed up, and in a few days it will be time for the farmers to sow seeds, and when the rain stops, it will be time for the farmers to be busy planting seeds, and to see that the surrounding land is full of new life, and the unknown weeds are busy burrowing into the ground, and everything is a sign of rejuvenation.

Among the three of Zhang Shaoyang, only Xi Wan is holding a white oil-paper umbrella, and a few droplets of water will drip on the edge of the umbrella for a long time.

Xi Wu, who used to like bright colors, changed into a thin white skirt today, the skirt reached the ankles, which happened to be connected with a pair of light blue boots under her feet, with hand-embroidered daffodils on the skirt, and a ribbon tied up around the waist, which made the waist more and more slender.

I have to say that Xi Wan's appearance is overwhelming, even Gao Jingshu, who has always been ranked first in Zhang Shaoyang's heart, has no way to overpower Xi Wan in terms of appearance, it can only be said that each has its own merits, but Gao Jingshu's personality is milder, while Xi Wan's temper is sunny and rainy, which is probably the only reason why Zhang Shaoyang ranked Gao Jingshu in front of Xi Wan.

Zhang Shaoyang didn't know where to get a hat, and he could barely block some rain when he wore it on his head, but as for Yao Sanming, he didn't need it at all, and the wind and rain would not invade.

So among the three people, only Zhang Shaoyang seemed to be a little embarrassed, after all, the hat was only made of bamboo strips, and after a long time, rainwater seeped out from the top and flowed into the clothes along the neck.

Seeing that this hat didn't play much role, Zhang Shaoyang simply took off the hat, buckled it on his back, and then let the fine spring rain pour on his body.

Not to mention, it's quite comfortable!

Before you know it, you can already see the mountain peaks in front of you, indicating that you have passed the open plain area of Northwest Road and are about to enter Jingnan Road.

Looking at the smoke in the distance, smelling the fresh air that makes people want to take a few more breaths, and there is a wisp of faint fragrance unique to a woman, Zhang Shaoyang was in a good mood, picked a young bud from the ground and put it in his mouth, chewed it gently, and felt sweet and refreshing.

"Miss Xi, why don't we hold an umbrella together and enjoy this spring rain together, it is a very romantic thing!"

Xi Wan is not the woman who blushes when she is ridiculed, plus she has known Zhang Shaoyang's personality for so long, hearing his almost flirtatious tone, Xi Wan didn't even look at it, but the cold umbrella flashed by, which made Zhang Shaoyang embarrassed.

Touching his nose stupidly, Zhang Shaoyang smiled, and then followed cheekily.

"What... Miss Xi, don't be angry, I'm not here to talk, so I can thank Miss Xi for saving her life!"

Xi Wan pursed her lips and teased, "When did you become so good at being a person?"

Zhang Shaoyang smiled: "It has always been like this." ”

Xi Wan rolled her eyes and ignored him again.

After walking a little further, the rain gradually became heavier, and the sky at noon was about the same as in the evening, and it was dark and oppressive.

It looks like a heavy rain is about to fall.

Yao Sanming and Xi Wan are just okay, after all, no matter the heavy rain or light rain, both of them have a way to block the rain, but Zhang Shaoyang is different, seeing that the rain is gradually getting bigger, he also has no leisure to appreciate the rain, put the hat back on, and then speed up his steps to see if there are any people or big trees around who can hide from the rain, so as to avoid the rain.

I didn't go far, I could faintly see a house in front of me, Zhang Shaoyang was overjoyed, and hurriedly trotted over, only to find that this is a Taoist temple that has been abandoned for a long time, the walls are quite strong, but the roof is full of holes, only one corner of the ground is dry, and there is a pile of dry firewood, presumably someone once came here to take shelter from the rain.

"Master, you can take shelter from the rain here, come over quickly. ”

Zhang Shaoyang shouted at the top of his throat, and then he gathered the dry firewood together, lit it with a fire fold, and suddenly a warmth climbed up his body, although the weather is not cold, but after all, it is easy to get sick after the spring rain, and the clothes on his body are wet, so it is better to bake them dry.

Within a moment, the rain outside began to get heavier, and the water on the eaves began to flow down in a thin line, dripping on the ground with a "da-da-da" sound.

Zhang Shaoyang threw a few sticks of firewood into the fire, and then leaned towards the fire, and soon there was a burst of white gas on his body.

"Master, I've been thinking about a question these days. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

Zhang Shaoyang thought for a while and said: "Master, these days since I left Chang'an, I have been practicing the skills you taught me, but the strange thing is that whether it is throwing stones or splitting water, I can still use it as usual, but it is difficult to use the method of avoiding breath." ”

Yao Sanming stroked his beard and smiled. 2k

"The reason is very simple, whether it is throwing stones or splitting water, or the ability to put chopsticks into the wood, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than some ingenuity, but if you have some understanding, you can learn a fur out, you can be regarded as mastering the essence, coupled with long-term practice, you already have the memory of mental motivation, so it is normal to be able to make it. ”

"But these are just some tricks to master the strength, not a real entry, the old man taught you the method of avoiding breath, in fact, it is an introduction to martial arts, really start to attract the essence of heaven and earth into the body, quench the inner pill and meridians, and accumulate enough internal force to use the move to destroy the world and destroy the earth. ”

"Actually, I've guessed Master's intentions, but I've been thinking lately, since I've lost my inner pill and lost the foundation of accumulating internal strength, why don't I concentrate on practicing those skills and moves and practice them to the extreme. ”

Zhang Shaoyang paused for a moment before continuing: "After all, those powerful moves and cultivation methods must have also been improved by countless generations of martial arts masters, and I am afraid that these superficial moves are also the root causes." ”

The person who said it had no intention, but the person who listened was shocked, Yao Sanming frowned and pondered for a long time, and said, "You go on." ”

"I think kendo is just one of the martial arts, in fact, the truth is almost the same, although I can't learn superior swordsmanship now, and I can't play a sword sword move that rolls thousands of miles, but who can say that there is only one way to go in the world's swordsmanship, in case I walk out of a kendo that does not rely on internal force, then I am not the originator of this way, and it makes people's blood boil when they think about it. ”

Hearing Zhang Shaoyang's words, Yao Sanming smiled.

"You kid, there are a lot of crooked reasoning, in fact, no matter how many kendo branches there are, in the end, they are all the same, think about it, hundreds of years of exploration by predecessors, there is now a way of kendo, so many people's efforts, is it negated by a few words from your kid?"

"Even if you practice the ability to penetrate the wood with chopsticks, what if you are superb? When you are against someone, someone else can split you in half with a sword qi from a distance, is it possible that they will fight you in close quarters and wait for you to poke him with chopsticks?"

Hearing Yao Sanming's words, Zhang Shaoyang was somewhat disappointed.

Yao Sanming saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't bear to continue to hit him, but said in a different tone: "But your kid's mind is very lively, and what the old man said just now couldn't help but think deeply, what is the source of this sword path and what is the end." ”

"Master, have you thought of it?" Zhang Shaoyang asked impatiently.

Yao Sanming shook his head: "This thing, there is no way to consider it." ”

Zhang Shaoyang wanted to ask something else, but at this time, the flames beside him suddenly burst up, and then fell suddenly, as if he was pressed by a force and couldn't move.

"Someone is coming. ”

Yao Sanming said softly, and with a slight gesture, the flame suddenly made a muffled 'bang', and then jumped and flipped violently.

Zhang Shaoyang was taken aback, he looked at the flame for a moment, and suddenly the sound of the 'ticking' rain outside the door stopped abruptly, he looked out of the door in amazement, only to see that the eaves that were originally connected to the line were dripping, and at this moment it was all weirdly stopped in the air, one on top of the other, buzzing and trembling.

Then the droplets seemed to be hit by a huge force, and they actually shot at the three people in the room.

Yao Sanming's body sat upright like a ghost, he snorted coldly, and casually lifted it, the umbrella leaning next to Xi Wan had already appeared in his hand, and then his right hand shook suddenly, and the umbrella 'buzzed' open, and the residual rain on it 'woo-la' turned into mist, and dissipated on the beating fire in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the water droplets that came from the impact had arrived, Yao Sanming took two steps forward, and the big umbrella in his hand was pushed out violently.

The raindrops that flew one after another did not work, and the water droplets that were still hovering in the air suddenly flew together, and the overwhelming posture was completely unstoppable with a paper umbrella in Yao Sanming's hand.

But Yao Sanming just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he didn't care about the move of this internal force object, but looked at the menacing huge wall of water, sneered in his mouth, put away the umbrella in his hand casually, and then flicked his left index finger from the tip of the umbrella, held the umbrella handle with his right hand, and pushed it forward.

The entire Taoist temple shook for a while, and the huge wall of water was actually blocked by an umbrella, and it couldn't get closer to half an inch, Yao Sanming drew with one hand, and said clearly: "Open!"

The umbrella suddenly unfolded in the air, and all the water droplets exploded at this moment, pouring the ground that had not much dry space again.

After dissolving this move, Yao Sanming glanced at the outside of the Taoist temple, and then at Zhang Shaoyang and the others behind him, and did not say anything, just walked out of the Taoist temple.

Not far away, a man in a green shirt stood in the rain with an umbrella.

This hand was broken by Yao Sanming just now, and the man didn't have any expression on his face, too, if Yao Sanming couldn't even stop this, how could he be a sword immortal?

Yao Sanming walked out slowly, and it wasn't until he was only two feet away from the man in green shirt that he stopped and looked at the person in front of him carefully.

"Huang Chongzhen?"

The man in the green shirt lifted the edge of the umbrella slightly, revealing a pair of Danfeng eyes, and a deep voice came out: "Exactly." ”
