Coming in was a thin young man, wearing a square scarf and a gray cloth robe. A black mole the size of a soybean grew on his thin face. The fingers are thin and long.

Tang Yu felt a little unhappy in his heart, Huo Di got up: "Who are you and what are you doing? How can you break into other people's rooms, you don't understand this bit of politeness, are you a thief who has penetrated into the room!"

The young man hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, Xiao Keqiu Baiyun is a talented person, and he lives in the north house next door to you." By no means a bad guy. ”

"Xiucai?" Tang Yu didn't believe it, "Does Xiucai also drill into other people's rooms?"

"Listen to me. ”

Qiu Baiyun walked over, as if he was very familiar, and sat on the wooden bench next to the bed. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person, on the contrary, I'm here to help you...... Brother, your name is Tang Yu, I guess you are a swordsman who came to Beijing to participate in the National Swordsman Competition, right?"

"What does this have to do with you. ”

"It's a big deal. Qiu Baiyun said as he spoke, one leg was still erected, and he took out two red fruits from his arms with one hand. "Come, I have two oranges here, one for each of us......"

Tang Yu refused: "Thank you, I'm not coming." ”

Qiu Baiyun put an orange on the wooden table beside him, and the other in his hand, peeled off the skin, stretched out his fingers and filled a petal into his mouth. "Relax, it looks like I've come to the right place, Brother Tang, I swear, I'll be able to help you. Tang Yu looked at him and didn't squeak. Qiu Baiyun bit another orange, chewed it for a while, spit out the orange core, and asked, "Let me ask you, what do you say won this swordsmanship competition?"

Tang Yu thought for a while: "That naturally depends on strength and real ability." ”

"No, I said you don't understand, do you? ”

"Then what do you say you rely on?" Tang Yu did not show weakness.

Qiu Baiyun put aside the orange petals, wiped his mouth, and sat upright: "Brother, don't be upset, I definitely don't mean to despise you, on the contrary, as soon as you enter the inn, I can see that you are a rare talent." Or I'm here to help you. ”

"Help me?"

"Exactly. ”

"We don't know each other, we meet in Pingshui, and as soon as we meet, you can work tirelessly and kindly to help strangers-" Tang Yu sneered: "Brother, you're not from the Charity Hall, right?"

"Not really. Qiu Baiyun was a little embarrassed, and smiled shyly: "I'll help you, of course, it's paid, just to collect some fees...... But it must be within your reach?"

Tang Yu stood up and stretched out his arm: "Then please, I don't want to hear anything now." ”

"Okay, okay, I don't charge money, it's free, just make a friend. Qiu Baiyun clasped his knees with his hands and looked lazy, "But whether you win the competition or not, you really can't rely on your personal experience and strength......

"I want to hear about it. ”

Qiu Baiyun became serious all of a sudden, and his expression was focused: "Think about who has the final say in the competition, when it comes to skills, horseback riding, archery, and sword competition, in fact, it is not much worse, who can win in the end?

Tang Yu thought for a while: "It seems to make some sense." ”

"Ahh Qiu Baiyun was also interested, and clapped his hands again and again, "In this case, if you want to win the championship and get a good background, in addition to tempering your own ability, why don't you study the personal habits of the judges of these competitions......?

"Oh, so powerful?"

"Don't underestimate these details, the more you know, the more chance you will win. "Autumn Baiyun is kind and seductive.

Tang Yu pondered for a moment and was worried: "Then where to find these things, I just came to the capital, and I don't know anyone well?"

"Look for me, I was born for you. Qiu Baiyun was like a trick, his hands were in his arms and touched again, conjuring up a few big books, "You see, it's all top limited editions, "Dugu Seeks Defeat in Youth, Two or Three Things", "The Rainstorm Life of the Three Musketeers", this is the most unique, the best, "Dugu: The World That Is Not Lonely - The Great Swordsman and His Women"-" - "

"Sell it all to me?" Tang Yu was dumbfounded.

Qiu Baiyun was very generous, as if nothing happened: "It's okay, which one do you want to see, I can lend it to you." But this one...... "said hesitant again and again, thought twice, and finally took out a yellow silk bag from his chest, spread it on the table, opened the button, and there was a layer of red silk inside, he carefully untied it, and lying in the bag was a stone seal ancient book with a broken skin scroll!

Tang Yu's throat was dry: "This is another ...... What?"

"Top secret martial arts secrets. ”

"What?"

"Eighteen Swordsmanship Evaluations in One Volume". ”

Qiu Baiyun gently stroked the cover, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if sinking into some kind of long-ago memory: "This is what my father bought with eighty taels of silver, and it is said that it came from the hand of the swordsman Dugu to seek defeat." It brings together the essence of swordsmanship from Wudang, Emei, Kongtong, Bashu, Nanhai and Huashan...... Its weight is by no means below the Sunflower Book......"

Monk Tang Yuzhang was puzzled, and asked tentatively: "Let me turn it over, okay?"

"No, I can't. Qiu Baiyun held the book, his eyes were hazy with tears: "This book, my father hid it when he was alive, the baby is not good, how many people spent a lot of money to buy it, he didn't sell it." Before he died, he took my hand and repeatedly told me to protect it......"

"In that case, forget it. ”

Tang Yu glanced at the sword spectrum and reluctantly looked away. Qiu Baiyun wiped a handful of tears, stood up, came to Tang Yu's side, and cherished the Huang Ayazi bag beside the bed: "Well, who let the two of us have a fate? Brother Tang, I will make a proposal myself, how about lending you this book "Eighteen Swordsmanship Evaluation One Volume" to you?"

Suddenly, Tang Yu was a little at a loss: "Brother Qiu, is this appropriate?" ”

"What's wrong, we're already brothers, aren't we?"

"And how can I thank you?"

It could be seen that Qiu Baiyun's true feelings were surging, his blood was rolling, and his cheeks were red, "Thank you for what." But you must keep it well, you must not lose it, this book is handed down by my father. That's half my Baiyun's life. ”

Tang Yu was also quite excited when he heard this, and he couldn't help but hold Qiu Baiyun's hand, and turned it upside down: "Brother Qiu, you and I are friends, the Spring and Autumn Period is noble, and it can be compared to Guan Bao!"

Then put away the sword book and hide it carefully.

Qiu Baiyun smiled, Zhenyi said goodbye, Tang Yu sent to the door, and when he said goodbye, his eyes suddenly swelled, and he cried under his clothes. After all, the two of them had just made friends, seeing their friends crying, Tang Yu did not bear it in his heart, and everyone had compassion, he asked: "Why is Brother Qiu like this, dare to have anything difficult?" Qiu Baiyun was full of shame and said: "Alas, what I sigh for is nothing else, just because tomorrow is the day of the third year of my father's death, I originally wanted to buy some white candles and incense paper and go to Jiming Temple to pay tribute to his old man." Unfortunately, the calligraphy and painting business has not been good recently, and I am shy in my pocket, and I can't even achieve this little wish...... The old father sleeps in Jiuquan, and the situation is lonely, so he ......"

Tang Yu was relieved, and said angrily: "Speaking of this, it's not difficult, I don't know what Brother Qiu needs?"

"If you are full, you can count eight points of silver. ”

"You wait a minute...... Tang Yu walked back to the house quickly, rummaged through the package for a while, and only found a few pieces of scattered silver taels, about seven points. He handed over the broken silver to Qiu Baiyun and apologized, saying, "Brother Qiu took it, but it was a little less." ”

Qiu Baiyun thanked him for his kindness, and slammed it to the ground: "It's enough, when I finish the memorial tomorrow, I will go to my aunt's house in Qilin Lane by the way, ask for some money, and return it to my brother when I come back." ”

"Brother Qiu is at his own convenience. ”
