The night in early spring was much milder than in winter, and the candlelight in the room was flickering, and Qi Ying'er sat at the table in the guest room and thought about today's events. Who did he want to keep them? And what still puzzled him was the mysterious Shangguan Linglong, who deeply felt that this woman was not an ordinary person, and no one could guess her thoughts. She always has a mysterious smile, charming and at the same time makes his heart flutter.

Qi Ying'er put the sword on the table and looked at it carefully. I hadn't drawn my sword for a long time, but today I let it unsheath it twice, and since I said goodbye to that strange monk, I felt like I had transformed into a flesh-and-blood person. It's not so much a metamorphosis as it is a rediscovery. But what kind of sword is this sword in front of him? It is a sword that kills, and Qi Ying'er wants to turn it into a sword to save people.

But as soon as the sword came out today, he felt a little strange awkwardness in his heart. In the past, when he used the sword, he always felt that this sword could speak and understand human nature, just like an extra arm born of himself, but today he found that this sword seemed to be just a piece of iron. What the hell is going on? Could it be that this sword only makes itself feel handy when it kills people?

After thinking only for a while, Qi Ying'er took out a wooden sword in her arms. This wooden sword was given to him by Mu Wuya seven years ago as a proof of the master-apprentice relationship, and he always carried this wooden sword with him, sticking it to his chest, and never took it out to show people. If you want to talk about knowing this wooden sword, it should be Ling Quanfei.

On that day, he met Luo Wusheng and Mocheng by mistake in Jingyun Villa, and he started with Mocheng again, and he didn't remember what happened after that, and he still didn't know that Mocheng had died under his sword that night. A few days later, he woke up and found himself in a green building, that is, the Cuixiang Building in Fenghua Town. Unconsciously, Qi Ying'er suddenly thought of a little girl, with big eyes, a lively voice and a face that would be red when she spoke, and she had relied on her to take care of herself for a few days in a coma, but she couldn't remember her name.

Qi Ying'er looked at the wooden sword for about half an hour, and heard the gong and shouting of the watchman outside the door, it was already the third watch. Qi Ying'er thought of the adventure in the cave and stumbled upon the secret of the wooden sword, and was shocked at the time, and then went to understand the words engraved on the wooden sword.

But since his grandfather died, he broke into the rivers and lakes alone, and killed someone not long after, he may not have practiced the mental method on the wooden sword for a long time, and at this time he remembered to take it out, all because he knew that he was about to encounter a catastrophe, and at this moment he wanted to practice the above exercises diligently.

He hadn't forgotten how to open the wooden sword, as long as it dripped with his own blood. He pulled out the black hilt, the sword seemed to be groaning, shaking out its own cold light, Qi Ying'er pinched the index finger of his right hand and leaned against the blade, and there was a cut on his finger, and the bright red blood squeezed out of the hole, and before Qi Ying'er could drop it on the wooden sword, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Qi Ying'er was shocked, picked up the wooden sword in her right hand, blew out the fire candle, turned over on the bed, and snored. He crept over and glanced at the door. There was a figure at the door, the man was holding a lamp, still knocking lightly, and whispered while knocking: "Ying'er, it's me." ”

When Qi Ying'er heard this, she got up and opened the door, and it was none other than Sun Qiao'er standing outside the door. Qi Ying'er looked left and right, and Sun Qiao'er was knocking on his door alone.

Qi Ying'er asked, "What's wrong? Haven't you rested earlier?"

Sun Qiaoer's face was as red as a peach, and she bowed her head slightly: "I can't sleep, I have something to tell you." ”

Although Qi Ying'er felt inexplicable, she also withdrew to let Sun Qiao'er in, and closed the door. Sun Qiao'er walked to the table and put the candle on the table, then looked back at Qi Ying'er, but Qi Ying'er was also a little embarrassed and said, "You sit down." ”

Sun Qiao'er nodded and sat down, asking, "Didn't you sleep either?"

Qi Ying'er wanted to deny it, but Sun Qiao'er said again: "Who would sleep with their hair tied up and dressed without even taking off their shoes." ”

Only then did Qi Ying'er think that pretending to be asleep just now was really a superfluous move. Qi Ying'er asked, "Then what do you have to tell me?"

Sun Qiao'er sighed and motioned for Qi Ying'er to sit down, and Qi Ying'er sat next to her. It turned out that Sun Qiaoer couldn't sleep for a long time when she returned to the guest room, just because of her own woman's intuition. She sensed that something was wrong with Qi Ying'er, and since her aunt Shangguan Linglong appeared, Qi Ying'er didn't say anything more to her. This became a pimple in her heart, thinking that Qi Ying'er must be thinking about something more, so she could only come and tell Qi Ying'er clearly.

She wanted to choose a good time to talk about it, but she didn't feel good about this matter, so she simply came to Qi Ying'er tonight to make it clear. Sun Qiao'er hesitated for a long time when she approached his door, and when she knocked on the door, she was also blushing and her heart was beating.

Sun Qiao'er sat at the table and didn't speak for a long time, she didn't know where to start, so she said to Qi Ying'er: "I'm so worried about you today, why don't you talk to me?"

Qi Ying'er was stunned, he didn't realize this change in himself, and he couldn't even remember if he had said anything to her. Sun Qiao'er's face was also full of crimson when she said it, she didn't want to say that, but she, a girl, would always can't help but express her heart, especially in front of her beloved. For her, compared to Qi Ying'er's incomprehension, her own grievances are more important and direct.

Qi Ying'er didn't speak, but Sun Qiao'er was in tears, aggrieved and pitiful. "Why don't you talk to me?"

Qi Ying'er couldn't bear to see her crying, but what should he say? He really didn't know what to say. After a long time, he said: "I'm just ...... to your aunt"

Sun Qiao'er stopped crying, thinking that it was really because of her aunt, so she said, "What do you not understand?" This is what she wanted to ask at the beginning.

Sun Qiao'er said again: "Are you also suspicious of my identity?" A woman's intuition is always accurate, and Qi Ying'er couldn't help but nodded.

Sun Qiao'er said: "Okay, I'll tell you everything." Do you remember the tavern where we first met?"

Qi Ying'er nodded, and suddenly felt that her chest was very hot, which made the roots of her ears a little red, and when she quietly looked at her right hand, the wound on her index finger had completely healed and there was no scar, thinking that it must be that the wooden sword was stained with blood when she was in a hurry just now. Fortunately, the candlelight was dim, and Sun Qiao'er didn't see her abnormality, but only listened to her talking to herself.

"That man, Sun Qu, must you remember. He betrayed you to Wu Jungang and the others that night, and wanted to harm you, I, I will open the window and let you escape. Sun Qiao'er glanced up at Qi Ying'er, and Qi Ying'er nodded, for fear that she would see something.

Sun Qiao'er stood up, walked to the window, and said slowly: "Sun Qu was originally my friend, I never mentioned it to you, you have always been brother and sister." She didn't look back, and naturally she didn't see Qi Ying'er being hot and unbearably red.

Sun Qiao'er said slowly: "My real surname is Shangguan, and my father is a well-known Shangguan Yunhui in the rivers and lakes, but he is also a demon who kills people without blinking, and he has cultivated a group of killers for his use." On the surface, he is a kind-hearted philanthropist, helping poor families, building houses for them, and people say that he is a 'living bodhisattva', but they don't know that in fact, my father is secretly doing some murderous and overselling things, all for those people in the government. One day, my mother found out my father's secret, so she begged my father not to do such a thing, and they had a big fight, and my father slapped her, and my mother collapsed on the ground, and he, and he turned around and went out without looking back. I was only five years old at the time, and I had a younger brother, who was still an infant baby, and he didn't know anything, but I knew it all, and I saw with my own eyes that my father was talking very closely at home with those ugly dog officers. The dog officials oppressed the people, but secretly wanted to get rid of those who disobeyed them through my father's hand, and they would send carts of gold and silver to my father's house. One day I was playing in the courtyard when I saw a group of veiled men climbing over the walls of my house and jumping into the inner courtyard. I was startled, and then my father came and asked me what I was doing here, and I ignored him, and he led the men to his room. ”

Sun Qiao'er's voice was a little choked, but Qi Ying'er was still enduring the scorching heat of the wooden sword, Sun Qiao'er didn't look back, only listened to her continue: "My mother is here, he took me away." My mother is the most gentle woman in the world, and she is the woman who loves me the most in the world.

For a short moment, Qi Ying'er thought of his mother, the woman in her dream.

Sun Qiao'er continued: "Why did this woman who loves me the most want to marry the man I hate the most! That day, my mother hugged me and my brother in the room and cried, I didn't cry, I was just full of anger. Soon my mother fell ill and was bedridden, and several famous doctors came to the house, but my mother's illness did not improve. One morning I knocked on my mother's door and told her that I was here and that I wanted to go in, but I couldn't push the door. I was so anxious that I cried, so I called the housekeeper and asked him to open it, but at first he refused, but finally he was willing to knock the door open under my scolding. I regret letting him bang on the door. After crashing away, I saw my mother, she was hanging in the air, a white silk hanging on the beam, I was the first person to see my mother kill herself. ”

Sun Qiao'er hid her face and cried for a while, Qi Ying'er regretted that she recalled the sad past again, but he couldn't move now, and now his whole body was hot.

Sun Qiao'er continued: "After my mother's death, I hated my father more and more, and he never had the slightest shame for my mother. I really wanted to kill him! When I was fifteen years old, I couldn't stand it, so he fled from the house with his eleven-year-old brother Shangguan Chan, and was captured by the man's men before he could go a mile and a half. He loved his brother, so he thought that I must have coerced him to run away from home, but my brother hated him too. He was afraid that after a long time, I would influence my younger brother and not let him see me, so he locked me in a side yard and put me under house arrest, and never allowed me to step out of the courtyard door again. I tried to get out, but I didn't succeed once. ”

She paused, then continued: "Then my aunt came, and she told my father that she would take good care of me and teach me martial arts. My father, of course, was very happy to hear this, so he handed me over to my aunt. That day was also the last time I saw my brother, and he was like a different person, someone I no longer knew. I was very sad, my father thought I was reluctant to him, but in fact I was reluctant to my mother, I only hated him! I went to worship my mother and said goodbye to her, and followed my aunt to Miaoling Mountain. My aunt loved me so much that she never took in apprentices, and I was her only apprentice. She taught me martial arts in the morning, practiced alone one day, and in the evening she returned to the mountains to continue to guide me. In two years, I learned the most basic exercises, and the hibiscus golden needle. One day she told me if she wanted to leave, and at first I thought she was going to drive me away, so I cried and told her not to drive me away, because except for my mother, only my aunt was the best for me. But she said to me that this is good for me, and I need to hone and hone in the rivers and lakes. I haven't been out of the mountains for two years, and of course I'm curious about the outside world. So my aunt gave me some coils, and I went down the mountain. ”

"After going down the mountain, I often heard them say that 'Thousand-Armed Guanyin' is the first female devil in the rivers and lakes, and I inquired again, and it turned out that the female devil they were talking about was actually my aunt. I didn't believe that my aunt was such a wicked person, so I had a quarrel with them, and they tried to beat me at first, but I taught me a lesson. Over time, my reputation also grew, and they all said that I was the little devil born of the female devil, and I was happy for them to say that, and I thought it was quite interesting. Soon I ran out of stuff, and I went to a tavern to ask the owner for help, and the innkeeper agreed to take me down when he saw that I was a woman and a lonely man. Who knew that after I dressed up, I attracted a lot of customers for him, and they all said that there was a big beauty in this tavern, and business was getting better and better. So my name as 'Wine Lady' also rang.

But one day, a man who had been taught me a lesson by my aunt also came here, and immediately recognized me, and it happened that he had a few friends with excellent martial arts around him, and several of them worked together to arrest me, and the tavern owner had no choice but to stop me. I was forcibly dragged away by them, and several people wanted to sell me to a brothel, and I was tied hand and foot, and I couldn't break free. But one of them begged for me and said that he would take me in, and I thought at first that he was pitying me, but who knew that he was actually greedy for my beauty, and he was Sun Qu. At first, he was very nice to me and didn't force me to do anything, but gradually I didn't feel disgusted with him. He asked me about my name, but I didn't want to say it, so I said that my name was Qiao'er, and I followed his surname in the future, surnamed Sun. You might think I'm such a flirty. ”

Sun Qiao'er smiled bitterly, but Qi Ying'er was already a little dizzy at this time, and gradually couldn't hear Sun Qiao'er's words clearly.

Sun Qiao'er continued: "After that, he opened a tavern in a very remote place not far from your village, and I became the 'wine lady' in his tavern, although it is located in a remote area, but because I have many guests. Later, Sun Qu became more and more admired for me and gradually moved towards me, but he was also afraid of my martial arts and did not do anything too rude. But that night he drugged the meal while I wasn't looking......"

With a "poof", Sun Qiao'er turned her head sharply, and when she saw Qi Ying'er falling to the ground, she couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly helped him up. As soon as he touched Qi Ying'er's skin, he was so hot that he retracted his hand, but when he looked at his hand again, there was nothing unusual. Sun Qiao'er was so frightened that she was at a loss, and it took a long time to help Qi Ying'er to the bed, but her tears kept flowing down, for fear that Qi Ying'er would have some strange disease.

Sun Qiao'er wanted to call Shangguan Linglong and Li Yuanchen over, but was about to get up but Qi Ying'er grabbed her sleeves. As soon as Sun Qiao'er saw Qi Ying'er wake up, she immediately lay down in his arms, but she felt that there was something in his arms holding her. Qi Ying'er slowly took out the wooden sword from her arms, Sun Qiao'er took it, looked at it for a while but didn't find anything special, Sun Qiao'er asked, "What is this? Why do you have a wooden sword." ”

But Qi Ying'er had already fallen asleep, and Sun Qiao'er touched his face and found that it was not hot at all, and she felt strange. She covered Qi Ying'er with a quilt, sat down at the table, and looked at the wooden sword by candlelight. Finding a little crack in the middle of the wooden sword's body, this crack was getting bigger and clearer, and she put the wooden sword on the table in fright and looked at it from a distance.

The sound of the wood cracking could be faintly heard, and the wooden sword was really broken. Sun Qiao'er was startled, thinking that Qi Ying'er put him in her arms, thinking about the things that the story was very cherished, she just thought that this wooden sword was broken by herself, so she couldn't help but feel anxious. She tried to put the wooden sword together, sticking it with the wax dripping from the candle, but that didn't hold the wooden sword.

She felt that it was all her responsibility, so she quietly put the wooden sword next to Qi Ying'er's pillow, and planned to tell him the truth tomorrow that she had broken his wooden sword. She wanted to go back here, but she was afraid that Qi Ying'er would suddenly get hot like fire again, so she moved a stool and sat on the edge of the bed to guard him.

The sky has already surfaced the white of the fish belly, and the little two downstairs are busy setting up tables and benches, preparing to do a new day's business. Sun Qiao'er stretched her waist and put her hands on one side, but found that she was covered with a quilt and lying on the bed herself. She sat up and saw Qi Ying'er lying on the table asleep. She blushed suddenly, and when she looked at herself again, she was well dressed, and she couldn't help but sighed but didn't know what it meant.

She quietly got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked to Qi Ying'er with light feet. Qi Ying'er suddenly said, "You're awake." ”

Sun Qiao'er was startled, and when she looked at Qi Ying'er again, she had slowly opened her eyes, sat up, and said with a smile: "Are you sleeping well?"

Sun Qiao'er ate and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Qi Ying'er said, "Let's go, let's go downstairs." ”

Sun Qiao'er said: "That, you last night?"

Qi Ying'er said: "I heard everything last night. ”

Sun Qiao'er said: "But, I haven't finished talking yet, and you, do you remember that your whole body is hot?"

Qi Ying'er smiled: "You see I'm fine now, don't you?" Moreover, I have understood your past, and I have no doubts. Now let's go downstairs together. Qi Ying'er stretched out her hand, Sun Qiao'er's tears welled up again, she rushed over and hugged Qi Ying'er, and Qi Ying'er also hugged her.

After a while, Sun Qiao'er said: "By the way, your wooden sword, I accidentally gave it to ......" Before she finished speaking, she saw Qi Ying'er take out the wooden sword from her arms, only to see that the wooden sword was already intact, Sun Qiao'er gently took it over and looked left and right, but she couldn't see a little crack, she only felt that this wooden sword seemed to have shrunk a little, but this could also be just her own illusion.

Sun Qiao'er asked suspiciously, "You made it up?"

Qi Ying'er took the wooden sword and held Sun Qiao'er's hand with a smile: "Now I and the wooden sword are fine." Let's go downstairs. ”

Sun Qiao'er was overjoyed and nodded in agreement. The two held hands, and as soon as they pushed the door, they saw Li Yuanchen who happened to pass by and wanted to knock on the door. Seeing Li Yuanchen, Sun Qiao'er suddenly blushed, Li Yuanchen didn't expect it, but Qi Ying'er greeted him calmly: "Morning." ”

Li Yuanchen said: "Early, early ....." seemed to wake up immediately, and walked downstairs with a smile.

Sun Qiao'er was angry and ashamed, and whispered: "He must have misunderstood!"

Qi Ying'er said: "Haha, what's the point of misunderstanding? Go downstairs." ”

Before the three of them could go downstairs, Xiao Er downstairs exclaimed in surprise and climbed up the stairs: "Objective guest officer!
