CHAPTER XIV

Hypertherm delves into martial arts every day, indulges in it, and makes rapid progress.

On this day, he practiced swordsmanship for a day, and after dinner, he sat under the lamp and carefully wiped the nine swords. Ever since she got the sword, Hypertherm has treated it like her most beloved treasure, wiping it down every day before going to bed, pressing it under her pillow, and almost sleeping with it in her arms. Somehow, when I stroked the Nine Swords today, I suddenly remembered Yao Shunmin's prop sword used for tricks. That sword can also be contracted and extended, but it is only a sword used to deceive people, how can it be compared with the nine swords! Although the blade of that sword also looks cold and shining, it obviously cannot hurt people, and the nine swords are not only sharp but also look more delicate and luxurious, which is even more incomparable to that prop in any way.

Xiao Yue's thin and pretty face couldn't help but appear in front of him. I haven't seen her since that day. Although Hypertherm told her where she lived and said that she could come to him for help if she was in trouble, she never came, hoping that it was because she was doing well and not in trouble. I don't know if I found her mother, and I don't know if his father is still so fierce to her.

There is also the monkey Xiaobai, who doesn't know where he went. Although it is a monkey, it has its own mind like a human, more like a pure and kind child. A monkey with a brain as smart as a human is destined to have extraordinary encounters! But how can a monkey be compared with a cunning and treacherous human being! If Xiaobai encounters someone who wants to profit from it like Yao Shunmin, or even more so than Yao Shunmin, wouldn't it be bad! Thinking like this, I couldn't help but feel a little disturbed in my heart.

There are also monsters in his hometown, according to the intelligence officers of King Yun, the more troublesome they are. Although their parents and fellow villagers have settled down in a foreign land, their hometown is not at ease after all, and one day they still hope to return to their homeland. I heard that the imperial court sent an army to Haizhou County, but the personnel were not reduced, and the situation did not improve. It's not like two armies facing each other, just fight happily. Those monsters don't know where to hide, they don't know when they come out, and they often sneak up on lone people, so they make people panic and tired. A few days ago, the King of the Clouds also sent some personnel to the Clouds, and he had asked the King of the Clouds to go with the army for support, but he was not allowed. King Yun just said lightly: "This king can understand your feelings, but this is not the time when you are needed. Besides, how much energy a person can burst out of is determined by strength rather than emotion, and you don't have that kind of strength yet. ”

How to improve his strength as soon as possible is something he has been thinking about these days, and it is also an important reason why he trains hard.

The temples on both sides jumped suddenly, as if a nerve in the brain was being tightened, and his head hurt a little. Rubbing my temples with my hands, I seem to be a little unsettled today and thinking too much. He inserted the nine swords into the scabbard, placed them beside him, sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, and by the way, slowly worked hard from head to toe and practiced meditation exercises. Practicing and practicing, I only felt that my brain was clear, and suddenly I remembered the spell that the sleepy insect asked him to tell Qiu Lichuan, and said in my heart: I am dull by nature, if I forget it for a long time, wouldn't it be a betrayal of Uncle Du's trust, from today on, I must recite it several times a day. Thinking like this, he silently recited in his heart: "At the beginning of heaven and earth, good and evil did not come out. Tigers, leopards, jackals, hungry and carrion......"

After reading it a few times, I suddenly felt a strange warmth in my abdomen, and there was a hazy red light flashing in front of me, so I hurriedly opened my eyes and found that the room was full of light, and the source of the red light was actually my body.

Haibao couldn't help but be taken aback, his whole body relaxed, and his mouth stopped silently. And the moment he stopped, the red light on his body gradually dimmed, and a sense of irritability rose in his heart.

What's going on? Could it have something to do with the strange incantation he had just recited? Thinking so, he tentatively began to recite again: "At the beginning of heaven and earth, good and evil were not yet born. Tigers, leopards, jackals, hungry and carrion-hungry. The gods are in turmoil, and the people and ghosts are on the same path......"

Then the red light rose again, and the irritability disappeared, and a strange warm current flowed from the belly to the whole body.

What's so strange about this spell, and why does your body glow when you first read it?

Although his mind was full of questions, Haibao didn't have time to think about it, because once he stopped, his heart was extremely irritable, and his body seemed to be crawling with thousands of insects, which was uncomfortable. There seemed to be an extremely strong desire in my body to enjoy the feeling of comfort that flowed through my stomach when I recited the mantra. So he began to read again, this time as if he couldn't stop at first, and as the warm current of his body accumulated, a layer of fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. There seemed to be a force in his body that needed to explode, so he jumped out of bed and took out the nine swords and went out. For fear of waking up the river, he flew up to the roof, jumped out of the yard, and went away from the downtown area. Picking a secluded road all the way, he soon came to a wooded place by the river, and waved his sword and played.

After playing for a while, I felt that my blood was boiling, and then I jumped up, and my steps moved quickly on the trunk of the tree, and in a moment I was on the tree, as flexible as an ape. Then his feet alternately moved and jumped on several trees, and the whole person seemed to be flying in the air, the long sword in his hand flew up, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of branches around him had been cut off.

After tossing and turning like this for a while, until he was sweating profusely and was extremely happy, he stopped and sat by the river to rest for a while.

Suddenly, there was a burst of singing, and Hypertherm was shocked. The voice was very soft, as if it was just a casual humming, and it didn't seem abrupt at all in the quiet of the night. Listen carefully, the singing is getting closer and closer, a glimmer of light gradually appears in the river, and the singing is becoming clearer and clearer:

Goose-yellow buds crowd the branches

You wait at the intersection where I must pass when I am sixteen

A touch of spring condensed someone's eyes

I looked up

I only saw the flowers blooming delicately and shyly

......

The singing voice is light and tactful, like a heavenly sound. Although it was night, her singing was reminiscent of the beauty of the flowers in the spring morning sun.

Hypertherm froze.

The woman sang to herself, not seeming to notice that anyone was paying attention to her.

The boat got closer and closer, and gradually saw clearly, there was a woman in the bow of the boat, with a graceful figure, dressed in white, with a white veil on her face, and the moonlight sprinkled a layer of clear light around her, and the whole person was like a fairy. The woman rowed the oars with both hands, looking leisurely and complacent, and her mouth was still singing. Hypertherm couldn't help but guess how beautiful the face under the white veil must be. What kind of peerless face should be worthy of such a graceful posture and such a beautiful singing voice!

Suddenly, in the direction from which the woman came, another small boat appeared, which was slightly larger than the woman's boat, and much faster than the woman's boat, and there were three men on board, a fat man was sitting and rowing, and a thin man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks was sitting beside him, and another was standing in the bow of the boat, dressed in a white brocade robe, standing at the bow of the boat and looking out, with a tall figure, much more pleasing to the eye than the two men.

Hypertherm felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and the boat behind it was moving fast, as if it was chasing the boat in front of her, while the woman was still singing leisurely, seemingly unaware. Haibao was worried about the girl, and watched the movement in the river quietly. Sure enough, in just a moment, the boat behind caught up, and the three men suddenly got up and quickly jumped onto the woman's boat.

The singing came to an abrupt end.

"The night is long, doesn't the girl feel lonely alone?

"Phew, it's sour and stinky, it stinks!" said the woman, fanning one hand in front of her a few times, and the veil moving slightly.

Haibao listened to the girl's voice with a hint of immaturity, at most fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Haha, girl, I'm not like him, I hate fake Sven the most!Hey, what are you doing with this ghost veil? Take it off and let me see if it's beautiful?"

"Auntie, I don't want to say if I'm beautiful or not, you look really refreshing!"

"Haha...... Fatty, go, stand aside, don't scare the girl. The thin man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks pulled the fat man in front of him, and swooped in front of the girl: "The voice is so sweet, it must be a little beauty." Come on, little beauty, tell me what kind of pick-me-up he looks like?"

The girl sighed and said: "Alas, the difference in length is secondary, if a person's IQ can't keep up, it's the worst!"

Hypertherm chuckled secretly. This girl is really tricky.

The thin man immediately widened his eyes and said, "Are you talking about me? Is my IQ low? Am I bad-looking? You widen your eyes and take a closer look!"

The girl said: "It's not bad, it's quite thrilling." ”

The fat man laughed out loud and said, "Little girl, your mouth is quite sharp." Uncle doesn't rap with you. Honestly go with the uncles, the uncles will love you well. Otherwise, if you anger the master, you will immediately strip off your clothes, and in the dead of night, I am afraid that if you break your throat, no one will come to save you!"

The fat man said, reaching out to pull the white veil on the woman's face. The woman turned her head away, ducked, and the oar in her hand swept towards the fat man's waist. Seeing this, the other two men attacked the girl from the left and right. The girl was besieged on three sides, and the bow of the boat was behind her, and she fell into the water after a few steps back, and suddenly her heart was raised.

The three men bullied a woman, it was really shameless, since they were bumped into by themselves, how could they not care! In his heart, he cursed in his heart, "Beast!" Haibao took a sharp breath, swept across the water, the river was not wide, and in the blink of an eye, he landed on the boat steadily, and forced the man in white aside with three and two blows, blocking the girl's body.
