I didn't feel the pond in the early spring dream, and the sycamore leaves in front of the steps have been autumn wind......

Time is always fast, so fast that it's imperceptible. The land of the two poles, this place where day and night are not divided and time does not go, the same is true of Siyi in the past, a young talent who is famous all over the world, and a prisoner who is spurned, now, in this day when there is no immortal cultivation, the body has not stopped growing, but has become a young man, recovering his former demeanor, but a little more calm.

A yellow leaf slowly flutters, flies in the wind, and then falls in the field of vision. A young man dressed in animal skin, holding a long sword and a bell on the sword, practiced mortal swordsmanship under the tree.

"Siyi, come here. The man in white, a thousand years like a day, stood not far away and watched calmly, watching this young man practice swordsmanship, and then beckoned.

Si Yi put away the long sword, came to the man's side, and asked, "Is it time to eat?" ”

The man shook his head with a smile, and said slowly: "This strange beast of 'Autumn Wind Valley', when I see you now, it is like seeing a life-urging ghost, where do you dare to come out, come on, I have caught a prey elsewhere, let's go back and roast and eat." ”

Siyi nodded, and just like back then, he flashed back with the man, and returned to the front of the grass house, the "Sword Spirit Stone" here is still the same, and the grass house is still dilapidated.

After taking the food handed over by the man, washing and peeling it, the two of them sat on the ground, and then roasted it, at this time, the man asked leisurely, "How long have you been here?"

Siyi thought about it, untied the long sword, put it aside, and replied in a low voice: "I don't remember either, but I have a vague appearance, I have eaten more than 20 large scale pythons, more than 30 quirrel, and some other things." ”

"Yes. The man nodded, "In this way, you have been here for more than five years, and the outside world does not know how it has changed." After a pause, he put down the meat in his hand and asked, "In the past five years, how many mortal swordsmanship have you practiced?"

"I have learned the Listening to the Wind Sword Technique, the Great Wuxiang Sword, the Wudang Sword, the Emei Introductory Sword, and countless other small sect swordsmanship. ”

"Do you know why I let you practice mortal swordsmanship?"

"Mortal swordsmanship, advocating martial arts, this 'martial' Dao lineage, my sword monk also evolved from it, and I need to lay a good foundation before I can enter the Dao. ”

"In the past five years, I have asked you to practice mortal martial arts and realize the true meaning of martial arts, because I want you to have a solid foundation in martial arts, in addition, the aura of heaven and earth here is weird, I think you already know it, but how much can you absorb?"

Siyi was taken aback, the aura here has been perceived many times, and there is no movement at all, how can it be absorbed on the talk?

When the man saw him like this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then continued: "The area here is unimaginable, the places you have been to are only thirty percent at most, have you experienced anything as a result?"

After hearing this, Si Yi smiled bitterly, in the past five years, he has been experiencing the prestige of these two poles all the time, opened his clothes, looked at his body, there were hundreds of wounds, large and small, as big as his chest, as small as his wrist, and he was injured by the strange beasts that were growing here.

Over the years, he has walked through mountains, crossed jungles, walked through all kinds of environments, experienced countless dangers, and several times, he was hovering on the verge of death. However, compared to the mortal world, I have also seen a lot of rare birds, which is an eye-opener.

Looking at Siyi's appearance, the man sighed even more in his heart, it seems that this person can't understand the true meaning of kendo in this difficult and excellent environment, and it seems that he has to use some extraordinary methods. So he stood up, looked into Siyi's eyes, and said, "Okay, today, even if you go out." ”

Siyi was taken aback, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and that he was going out now? But he was still a mortal, how could he go out?

The man shook his head with a smile and said softly, "Follow me." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked down the mountain. Siyi then followed, this time, the two did not disappear as usual, but came to the blue grass, the man bent down, picked up a branch casually, and then turned around, and said seriously: "Come on, defeat me, and then, send you out." ”

"Huh?" Siyi was surprised as if she had heard the Arabian Nights, and then said suspiciously, "Is this a joke? ”

The man crossed the branch with one hand, and a fierce sword momentum emanated, repeating coldly: "Come on, defeat me, and go out." ”

It seems that this posture is serious, Siyi gritted his teeth, and as soon as the bell rang, he showed the long sword behind his back and raised it high in front of him. When the man saw it, a cold smile crossed the corners of his mouth, and his body seemed to be unmoved, but a phantom flashed in front of Siyi's eyes, and he only heard a "ding" sound in his ears, and his body was knocked out sideways, and he didn't know how many flowers and plants were overwhelmed.

Standing up, Si Yi felt helpless in his heart, the gap in strength was too big, even greater than the height of the nine heavens and the depth of the netherworld. The man didn't care about so much, but slowly walked in front of him, used the branch as a sword, and chopped it off with a sword. Siyi barely held up his sword, and the huge force came, and his legs fell into the soil.

"Tell me, the seven words of the sword road, which seven words?" the man shouted.

"Perseverance, courage......" Siyi gritted his teeth and replied under great pressure, but before he could finish speaking, he was knocked out again.

The man ignored his identity and image, and followed him like a shadow, and then when he came, the branch stabbed again. Siyi couldn't care about the blood at the corner of his mouth, he could stop it, "fairness and dignity ......"

As soon as his body was lowered, the man used a branch to pull it backhand, and when he heard a muffled "click", Siyi's left calf was broken, and he grinned in pain, and then said painfully: "Calm down, trust ......"

The man stood tall, looked at Siyi who was half-kneeling on the ground, and asked coldly: "Where is your courage? Where is your calmness?"

Beads of sweat fell from his forehead, and Siyi gritted his teeth and said, "This gap...... It's too big...... It's not that courage can be overcome. ”

"Then I'll tell you now. The man said contemptuously: "At this time, you have to learn the last two words, trust and faith. ”

"Trust whom?"

"Trust your sword, it is also your only companion, and will accompany you in life and death. ”

Si Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, what kind of words is this, he trusts this strange sword, can he make up for the gap between heaven and earth?

But the man didn't give him so much opportunity to think about it, and the branch pressed down head-on, and shouted: "The ancient swordsmen are all famous, tell me, Siyi, what is the name of your sword?"

The huge pressure hit his body, and every inch of his bones squeaked, holding the black long sword against it, and his mouth was so pressed that he couldn't even spit out a word.

The man backhanded, ruthlessly lifted Siyi's body high and threw it out, and then a fierce sword qi pierced the back of Siyi's left hand, and the blood flowed down the back of his hand like a flood that burst the embankment. At this moment, Si Yi was really embarrassed to the extreme, and a long-lost sense of frustration appeared in his heart again.

Seeing the man's footsteps getting closer and closer, the silent but fierce killing machine became more and more vigorous, and a trace of despair and sadness in his heart told himself that it seemed that there was no way for him to return to the mortal world and find Xiao Xiao.

"Are you grieving?" At this time, the voice that once upon a time seemed like a heavenly sound appeared again, and Siyi's heart trembled.

Then, dressed in white, Ouyang Huanting's graceful figure appeared behind her again, with a look on her face, still so sad, so sad, with an almost transparent figure, she lowered her head and said softly: "I feel your sadness again." ”

When the man saw such a scene, his expression was slightly stunned, and he stood in place, as if he had something in mind. At this time, Ouyang Huanting whispered in her ear: "Do you believe me?"

Seeing this situation, Siyi woke up from his obsession, endured the pain in his body, and said with a wry smile: "What about believing you? I can't even stand steadily, my left hand is useless, and I only hold a sword in one hand, and I can't seem to hold it." ”

"Do you believe me?" Ouyang Huanting asked again and again, ignoring it.

"Huh?" Si Yi didn't know why, and stammered in reply, "...... Believe. ”

"That'll be fine, I'll take care of the rest. Ouyang Huanting stretched out her hands and silently held herself from behind, Si Yi only felt a cold breath passing by, and an inexplicable sadness in his heart, at that moment, he clearly felt that the aura of heaven and earth around him, those aura that was once like stagnant water, beat again, frantically poured into his body, filling every dried meridian in his body.

With a low shout, Siyi's body sank, his body flickered, and a standard Emei entry swordsmanship stabbed the man's face, the man had been obsessed with thinking just now, and at first glance, he was a little surprised in his heart, but he quickly took advantage of the right hand and pushed the sword aside.

He sneered: "Yes, I found a soul sword, but you think you can win by relying on it?"

At this time, Ouyang Huanting frowned and said, "This person is very strong......"

Siyi nodded: "He is not an ordinary person. ”

The man was first chopping down with a tree branch, and shouted, "Tell me, by what name are you fighting?"

was held tightly by Ouyang Huanting's hands, and the horizontal sword was in gear. The man did not give up, and continued to shout: "Trust, you have learned, you have learned to trust your sword, then tell me, in the last word, where is your faith, what is the belief in your heart, and what is the name of your fight?"

Siyi, who asked this sentence, was at a loss in his heart, what was he fighting for? For revenge? When he thought of this dark thing, he lost his fighting spirit in his heart, and seemed to have forgotten something important. The man laughed, chopped off the branch again, and asked again and again: "Tell me what you think in your heart, tell me, why is your long sword unsheathed?"

Looking at Ouyang Huanting's pitiful figure, looking at the countless scars on her body, the anger in her heart flashed, but returned to the sad expression she had before, at this moment, the expression on her face was as calm as water, and she slowly replied: "I was born for sorrow, I am looking for a sword for despair, I cry, I am sad, I am depressed, I am painful, I use the sword in the name of love, so as to cut off the rest of my life." ”

"My name ......," Ouyang Huanting said slowly.

"Cruel ......" Si Yi picked up the next sentence, at this time, the clouds in the sky were surging wildly, and they seemed to be crying for him, and a large amount of spiritual energy poured into the body, merging into a golden pill at the dantian, and it seemed that he had regained his cultivation of the year.

But this is far from the end, the aura is still pouring into the meridians, the golden pill in the body appears Dao cracks, directly full and broken, at that moment, Siyi's head three clear qi rise, straight to the bullfight, this is the three flowers gathered at the top, at that moment, the sword on the bell dingdong a crisp singing, the body of the aura dissipated, but saw a half-inch size of the blue-green baby with a solemn expression, holding a long sword sitting in the dantian. This is the moment that the broken pill becomes a baby, and he once again steps into the fairy avenue.

Siyi's expression remained unchanged, his face sank like water, and together with Ouyang Huanting, his figure flashed and separated from the man.

At that moment, silence returned between heaven and earth, the man lowered his head, looked at his right hand, and with a "click", the branches broke, scattered into powder, and fell into the dust, so he smiled, turned around, and said softly: "This is my sword monk." ”

Siyi snorted, couldn't hold on any longer, and finally fell into the dirt, unconscious, the blow just now exhausted too much energy. Leaving Ouyang Huanting alone, she stood in place, looking at herself with a concerned face.

"It turned out to be you. The man looked at Ouyang Huanting and seemed to be smiling.

"Oh?" Ouyang Huanting seemed very strange, turned her head, looked at the man, and asked suspiciously, "Strong, do you know me?"
