Chapter 6: Draw the sword

Before dawn, Ping'an and Narcissus sat in the house eating breakfast, Ping'an gobbled up and said, "Sister, you will clean up later, I will go to the back mountain to take a look and come back, let's go down the mountain together." Narcissus frowned, and said unhappily: "Why are you still going to the back mountain? Okay, the scar forgets the pain, and I don't care about you if the wound opens again." ”

Ping An Zhengse said: "At least Red Bull is now our family, its mother is still lying in the barren mountains and mountains, it's too disagreeable, last time because of the injury on the hand, it failed to bury its mother, today I brought a shovel and buried the old man by the way, people are not easy, if you can help the handle, help the handle, isn't this reason?"

Narcissus groaned for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll go too." Ping'an waved his hand and said: "That's not good, I don't know what danger there is, what if you don't protect it when the time comes, you just stay in the house and pack up your things and wait for me to come back." ”

Narcissus really had nothing to do with the man, and what Ping An said made sense, so she had to nod and order: "Then you be careful, go early and return early." ”

Ping'an took another bite of food, got up and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, let's go down the mountain to the village before noon, and we can catch lunch." With that, he ran outside the house, holding a long sword in one hand and a shovel in the other, and beckoned: "Red Bull, go, go and see your mother." The red bull, who was sleeping in the wooden basin in the yard, suddenly jumped up and followed the man's ass into the mountains.

Narcissus leaned against the door, looking at the man's back, a strange emotion spread in her heart, she always felt that something was wrong and couldn't say it, she rubbed her forehead, and said to herself: "Peace." ”

Ping An walked and looked back, until he couldn't see the shadow of the wooden house before stopping, he took out the sword book with strange tricks in his arms, and touched it gently, he didn't dare to let Narcissus see this book, otherwise he would definitely throw it away, although he didn't understand the moves on the book, but as far as he knew, there were only two situations, one was to play tricks, in fact, it was useless, and the other was that this was indeed a secret book that recorded profound swordsmanship, he carefully stuffed the ancient book into his arms again, and continued to hurry, because of the destination, his body also healed a lot, this time he deliberately accelerated his pace, and only half an hour later arrived at that place。

Ping An panted and looked up, the ground was still a mess, the blood seeped into the ground, it became black, the behemoth was still lying in place, Red Bull saw the mother lying on the ground at a glance, ran to the adult tiger Kui, and kept arching the mother's body with her head, but its mother would not wake up again, Ping An looked around, and suddenly felt surprised, the old man in black disappeared, and his scalp was numb, and he said in a trembling voice: "This is a corpse?"

Ping'an held the long sword in both hands and shouted loudly around: "Hey, old man, I saw with my own eyes that you were out of breath, don't scare me, old man, you come out." ”

Ping'an shouted a few times, but no one paid attention to him, he patted his chest and said to himself: "But I'm scared to death, I said that this unfortunate thing is not all for me to catch up, obviously dead, but the body is gone, it is also possible that relatives who know this old man came to take away his body?

Ping An trembled, as if struck by lightning, no matter if the old man in black was not dead or the old man in black was here, assuming that they were most likely to go to where they were now? ”

Ping'an scolded his mother and said anxiously: "Red Bull, it's too late to say goodbye to your mother, Sister Narcissus may be in danger, let's go back quickly." With that, he threw down the shovel and ran back in a hurry, "I hope I think too much." Red Bull reluctantly glanced at his mother lying on the ground, then turned to look at Ping'an's back as he gradually moved away, roared sadly, and chased after Ping'an.

Ping An strode through the forest, the dense branches hit him and he couldn't take care of it, flexible like an agile mountain rabbit, but he still felt that the speed was too slow, and he couldn't wait to grow a pair of wings out of thin air to fly up to be satisfied, the Red Bull on the side was faster, Ping An waved his hand, "Red Bull, you run fast, go back to the wooden house first, if anyone dares to touch Sister Narcissus, you bite him hard." Red Bull shook his head, and the small figure quickly disappeared from the branches.

Ping An regretted a little, she really shouldn't have left Narcissus alone in the house, if something happened to her... Ping An didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Finally, when he saw the familiar fenced courtyard in his vision, he stopped safely, took a few breaths, and ran towards the courtyard.

Ping'an first saw the basin in the yard that was knocked to the ground, and then he saw the figure of the red bull, the small body of the red bull lying on the ground, the phosphorus thorns on the body seemed to grow a little, the eyes shot a fierce light, looking at the door of the closed room and making a low roar, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, his heart sank, the red bull saw that the master was coming, the roar was also louder, and kept demonstrating in the direction of the house, the house was quiet, there was no sound.

The long sword in Ping'an's hand was horizontal in front of his chest, and he approached the door step by step and was about to reach out to open it, Ping'an kicked the door open, the long sword pointed into the house, and said angrily: "Whoever is inside, get out of here." ”

In the next moment, Ping An didn't even see what was going on in the house and was hit upside down by a force and flew out, Red Bull saw that the owner was at a loss, and rushed in like crazy, but he also flew out, fell to the ground and stopped moving, Ping An held back the blood in his mouth, stood up again with a sword in both hands, and rushed into the house again.

A sigh sounded in the room, "I really don't know whether to live or die." Ping'an heard the hoarse voice only felt that his head was about to crack, his body fell to the ground uncontrollably, and an old man in tattered black clothes slowly walked out of the house, it was the old man that Ping'an saw in the back mountain that day, the old man was ragged and gray-headed, like a refugee fleeing the disaster, the old man looked at Ping'an condescendingly, Ping'an clenched his hands, this old man was really not dead, he should have made up a few knives if he knew it.

Ping An struggled to get up and shouted anxiously: "Sister, sister, how are you." The room was quiet, no one answered him, Ping'an only felt that his heart was broken, his mind was blank, and he said angrily: "What happened to my sister with you old thing? If she loses a hair, I will never spare you." ”

The old man's face was calm, and he said with a little amusement: "Why, just with your three-legged cat kung fu and the sword in your hand, do you want to try it, can you still pull up that sword?" As soon as the old man's words fell, the long sword in Ping'an's hand flew to the side and pierced into the soil with a clatter, leaving only the hilt of the sword outside, Ping'an pumped hard, as if he had poured molten iron, it didn't move at all, and the old man could actually control his long sword in the air? Ping An didn't say anything, he had long known that this old man who could fight with the life and death of an adult tiger was very strong, and now this old man stood in front of him with a radiant look, it seemed that it was really unfathomable, so powerful that it was terrifying.

"From now on, you will be at peace, and then you will be at peace. "Of course, I'm a woman, and saving people is saving people, and I don't have as complicated thoughts as theirs. "That's because my sister is the first woman you have seen, and if you go down the mountain, you will know that there are many more beautiful than your sister outside, and then you will be annoyed by me." "You think beautifully, don't lie on the window, go out for a while, don't be too far away, I'll call you when I'm done." "I don't like to live a rich and good life, as long as you are safe, I am very happy." ”

Ping'an recalled the ordinary and interesting bits and pieces of his and the woman's past in his mind, and the woman's pretty face appeared in his mind, sometimes gentle as water, sometimes charming and charming, and when he was angry, his face was cold like a snow lotus, unconsciously, the woman had carved an unforgettable mark in his heart, and he had already experienced the torture of losing his relatives, and he had to do it again?

Ping'an's heart sank, as if a gust of wind was blowing, a chill swept in, hatred and anger burned his eyes red, Ping'an's hand holding the sword tightened, the long sword began to tremble slightly, slowly becoming more and more intense, emitting a piercing scream, the old man in black sighed in some surprise, and whispered: "Hey, it's a little interesting." Ping An used all his strength, and the long sword broke out of the control of the old man in black, was pulled up little by little, and finally held it in his hand.

Ping'an didn't know any mysterious swordsmanship, nor did he know any exquisite footwork, he only knew that he slowly took two steps forward, and slashed down at the black-clothed old man in front of him with all his strength, his hoarse voice drifting in the air: "With my life!"

The man's sword was obviously out of the old man's expectations, he had already checked the young man's qi, there was no internal force in the body, just an ordinary person, but this sword was not an ordinary person who could cut out, the old man's heart was full of thoughts, but the long sword was unabated, with the whirring wind fell, the old man's footsteps changed, and he flexibly turned his body to avoid the sword, Ping An waved the sword again, the old man flashed idly, Ping An bowed with that momentum and was a stab, the old man glared, and said in a deep voice: " Boy, I just don't want to hurt you, don't be unforgiving, the girl in the house just fainted, and if you don't know what to do like this, I'll really kill the girl and then kill you. ”

"Peace!" a woman with pear blossoms and rain walked out of the house and threw herself towards Ping'an.

Ping An stopped his body, the long sword bell fell to the ground, his body was soft to the ground, it seemed that the swords just now used up all the strength in his body, the woman squatted down and hugged Ping'an, Ping'an choked and said: "Sister, I thought I would never see you again." The woman stretched out her fingers and gently wiped the blood from the corner of the man's mouth, and said softly: "Sister, it's not good to be here, don't worry, it's the way you looked just now, it's so scary." β€œ

The old man in black was dissatisfied: "I'm not here to see you little two crooked, girl, get some food for the old man, starve grandpa and me." β€œ

Ping'an gently pinched Narcissus's shoulder, motioning for her to take the opportunity to go first, and Narcissus shook her head resolutely.

The old man in black sneered and mocked: "What kind of eyes do you have when I don't see it? I said boy, are you really stupid or fake stupid? I want to kill you two a long time ago, why bother with you, girl, I see that there is an old hen, or I will stew it." ”

Narcissus nodded lightly at Ping'an, turned around and carried the hen into the kitchen.

Ping An picked up the long sword on the ground and threw it to the old man, who smiled: "I didn't come here for this sword. Ping said stupidly: "I took your sword, nothing else, I said that you are really good enough to pick the door, and you don't bring any silver when you go out." As he spoke, he walked into the house, and the old man followed behind him, frowning and said: "Little baby, in fact, you are a very annoying person, do you know, not to mention stealing my sword, but also touching the sword book on me, if it weren't for the fact that you helped the old man close his eyes that day, it really moved the old man, where can you still stand here and talk today." ”

Ping'an rolled his eyes and defended: "Where is the theft, I touched your nostrils at that time, obviously I was out of breath, I just went to touch your clothes, I wanted to touch some silver to come out, who knows how to touch out an ancient book, hey, then again, why are you alive again? Let me touch it, are you a ghost?"

The old man slapped the man's hand away with one palm, and said angrily: "Ghost, give me the book." Ping'an pursed his lips and said with a look of disdain: "Give it, give it, anyway, there are messy postures painted on it, and I can't understand it, I think it's just something to deceive people." Ping'an took out the yellowed ancient book from his bosom and handed it over, the old man took the book, looked through it, and mocked: "I have studied this book for half my life before I just touched the threshold, if you can understand it, I will vomit blood." ”

Ping'an looked at the old man's smug expression, and muttered in a frustrated whisper: "I would have buried you in the soil if I knew it, and see how you still come out." ”

The old man smiled and ignored him, but asked casually: "I heard that you just went to the back mountain to bury me?" The old man lost his mind and said: "After all, I am not a good person, there are not a thousand people who died in my hands, but also eight hundred, I have offended many people, and no one can get along, I have long had the consciousness of dying in the wilderness and no one collecting the corpse." Ping An just wanted to mock you for bragging, you can kill so many people and be beaten to death by a wild beast, but when he saw the old man's lonely expression, he swallowed back the words and stopped talking.

After a while, the old man rubbed his eyes and said embarrassedly: "Why do you say this in front of this kid, anyway, I am not to blame for your stealing of the old man's things, you kid just steal the fun, otherwise I will kill again today." ”

Ping An secretly condensed his vigilance, but the old guy's martial arts are so good, and there is no difference between himself and not, it is better to take the opportunity to be cheeky and say something nice to the old man, let the old man teach himself two tricks, he was very envious of the mysterious footwork when the old man dodged his long sword just now.

Ping'an's face was cloudy, and the old man seemed to know what he was thinking, and said coldly: "Sparing you from dying is the biggest limit for a demon like me, this is the end of our chance, don't think that I will give you any benefits." β€œ

Ping An was seen through his inner thoughts, and sighed helplessly, a little stunned.

Red Bull woke up from a coma and rushed into the house again, but saw a scene of wondering, the two people who had beaten you and me just now were sitting on the table, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, Red Bull couldn't understand, Ping An beckoned, Red Bull came to Ping An carefully, still grinning at the old man in black, as if he wanted to rush up to take revenge.

Ping An appeased the little beast, and the little beast stopped demonstrating, twisted his ass and went to the yard to play in the water.

The old man said with some envy: "To make the beasts obedient, this kind of luck is only one line worse than the imperial robes of the Taizu Emperors of various dynasties, but you kid has picked up a leak." Ping An took the opportunity to ask, "What kind of beast is this?" The old man smiled: "This little thing is called Tiger Kui, the history of the Tiger Kui is not drowned in the water, and when he enters the mountain, he is called the king and hegemon, in short, it is a spirit beast, there are not many spirit beasts in the world, your little Tiger Kui can at least enter the top ten." ”

Ping'an pursed his lips and said in disbelief: "So powerful and still kicked by you and fainted?"

The old man said angrily: "This little thing has only been born for a few days, and now if you can beat me, then you can still get it?" Even that adult tiger Kui was easily hit and fell to the ground by me, let it practice for another few decades." β€œ

Ping An was a little skeptical, as if he didn't hear clearly, and asked: "You said that you were easily injured, but it doesn't seem to be the same as what I saw?" The old man coughed, a little embarrassed, and said: "Ahem, it took a little effort, but in the end, the old man still stood here in a good manner, so the old man won." ”

Ping An was noncommittal, and said curiously: "Did you use the legendary turtle breath method that day?" The old man sighed, did not nod or shake his head, but said softly: " That's it, you and I are destined to talk to you and there is no shame, that day I accidentally bumped into the territory of the tiger on the mountain, the female tiger Kui directly hit me, I have the mind to teach the beast a lesson, and the tiger Kui fight, who knows that in the fight my old injury recurrence, and the tiger Kui both defeated, all fell, but the tiger Kui did not know what was crazy, so that I did not dare to move, I could only use the bated breath to fake death to deceive it, now I think that most of the female tiger Kui thought that I was going to plot against the fetus in her womb, and did not hesitate to fight with me, alas, in fact, it was just a misunderstanding。 ”

Ping'an was puzzled: "This is too sad, I said that you are really, can't you run if you can't fight?" The old man said helplessly: "At first, I didn't know that the female beast was so fierce, but then when I wanted to leave, the old injury attacked, and I couldn't leave if I wanted to." Ping An rubbed his nose and sighed.

"Dinner is coming. Narcissus walked into the house with a fragrant meal, the old man and Ping'an both swallowed their saliva, Narcissus smiled and waved his hand to Ping'an, "Go to the kitchen to serve the food, and bring the dishes and chopsticks by the way." ”

Ping An was dissatisfied: "Why me, why don't you let him take it." Narcissus glared at Ping'an, "Because you are the master, and the old man is a guest, hurry up and get it, and don't want to eat the food I cooked." ”

Reluctantly, Ping An got up and went to the kitchen.
