A day later.

Zeping County, Happy Village.

Cao Ying was still sitting in a rocking chair, swaying slowly, holding an embroidery circle covered with cloth in her hand, embroidered with dense words one by one.

Suddenly, the fence door was kicked open, and Cao Xiaoning, who rushed in, pointed at Cao Ying and said angrily: "Old Cao, you have to give me an explanation today!"

"I'm back. ”

Cao Ying didn't raise her head, stretched her thread, and said lightly: "It's different when the foundation is built, and the voice is much louder." ”

Cao Xiaoning snorted coldly: "I know that you dropped the sachet and let me be beaten to help me build a foundation, but you should also tell me in advance, so that I can be prepared!"

Cao Ying didn't speak.

"Do you know how I spent my two hours in Lingyun Mountain?"

Cao Xiaoning said angrily: "That's a beating! If it weren't for my hard life, I wouldn't be able to come back! Even if you don't want me to use the Zhuji Dan to build the foundation, can't you beat me a few times to help me build the foundation? There is no need for such danger!"

Cao Ying glanced at Cao Xiaoning and said, "I don't fight seriously, it's useless." Hit hard, and you'll be dead. ”

Cao Xiaoning said angrily: "Then you can't fight lightly and seriously?"

Cao Ying looked at Cao Xiaoning, slowly lifted one foot, and then gently stepped on the ground.

"What do you mean?" Cao Xiaoning asked.

"My foot is light enough, right?" Cao Ying said: "But the ants under your feet will still die." ”

"I know you're amazing, I'm an ant, okay?"

Cao Xiaoning rolled his eyes, and said curiously: "Old Cao, I don't believe that you really don't care about anything, let me go through this danger alone." To tell you the truth, were you also in Lingyun Mountain yesterday? You must be secretly protecting me, aren't you?"

"You're thinking too much. ”

Cao Ying said directly.

Cao Xiaoning was stunned for a moment and said, "Yesterday was so dangerous, you didn't take care of it, so what if I can't get through it?"

Cao Ying pointed to the corner of the courtyard.

Cao Xiaoning looked at the rusty sickle there, and he asked, "Will you use this sickle to help me take revenge?"

"It's there to help you make a grave. Cao Ying said lightly.

"Okay. Cao Xiaoning pointed at Cao Ying, with a ruthless expression.

As soon as the words fell.

A small light that was incomparably bright suddenly hovered an inch in front of Cao Xiaoning's eyebrows.

The speed was so fast that he couldn't see where it came from at all, as if it had stopped there, and Cao Xiaoning didn't even have time to dodge.

The brilliance gradually faded, and it turned out to be a needle, to be exact, a sword as thin as a needle.

Cao Xiaoning, who was startled, asked casually, "What is this?"

"This is a mayfly sword. ”

Cao Ying said lightly: "Since you have built a foundation, you will leave the village tomorrow and go to the academy, this sword will be given to you as a gift, and it can be regarded as compensation for this trip to Lingyun Mountain." ”

Cao Xiaoning was stunned and said: "This thing can also be called a sword, I think it's almost the same as using it to pluck out your ears! Since you want to send it, then don't be stingy, give me a peerless fairy sword or something!"

Cao Ying said: "Regardless of grade and sword power, this sword is second only to the top ten immortal swords in the world. ”

"Blow, keep blowing. Cao Xiaoning rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Take back this ear pick of yours! I don't want it! Take out this sword, the opponent will die of laughter, I, Cao Xiaoning, can't afford to lose this person." ”

Cao Ying asked, "You don't want it?"

"Don't!"

Cao Xiaoning said word by word: "Even if I use Pang Qingyun's Lingyun Sword in the future, use a wooden sword, or even if there is no sword available, I will never use this ear pick of yours!"

He leaned over half of his face, raised his hand and patted it, and said, "I, Cao Xiaoning, want face!"

Cao Ying said: "You will regret it." ”

Cao Xiaoning looked like he never regretted it.

Cao Ying smiled, and with a wave of her hand, the 'ear pick' in Cao Xiaoning's mouth suddenly flew into the air, and in just a moment, it went to an extremely high place that was beyond sight, and the speed was so fast that it left an afterimage all the way, like a silver line, connecting heaven and earth.

Cao Xiaoning was just about to raise his head, and the mayfly sword dragged another silver line and fell back in front of him, until this moment, the afterimage of the line when it rose into the air slowly dispersed, which showed how fast the mayfly sword was.

Cao Xiaoning was dumbfounded.

In a flash, but that's it.

"Just now you said that the opponent would die laughing when he saw this sword, it is impossible. ”

Cao Ying said: "Because your opponent didn't have time to see this sword, he was already dead." ”

Cao Xiaoning took a closer look at this sword, and saw that the hilt, sword, spine, blade and other structures were distinct, silver-colored, delicate, as if a three-foot sword had been reduced by tens of millions of times, which could be described as ingenious.

Cao Xiaoning was completely attracted, and he didn't realize that his eyes had become cross-eyed.

Cao Ying shook her head and sighed, and said: "The mayfly sword, the speed is the first in the world, everything can be worn through everything, and murder never stains blood." It's a pity that no one wants it. ”

Cao Xiaoning immediately reached out to grab the mayfly sword, but saw the mayfly sword retract into Cao Ying's hand like lightning.

"Actually......"

Cao Xiaoning rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I was joking just now, how could I not want it?"

Cao Ying said lightly: "No, if you use a wooden sword, or if you don't have a sword available, you won't use a mayfly sword." ”

Cao Xiaoning trotted behind Cao Ying, helped him slap his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Old Cao, from the first time I saw this mayfly sword, I recognized it, what I said just now was really just a joke, you must not take it seriously." ”

"A little to the left, a little to the right, well, just there, with some force. ”

Cao Ying closed her eyes and enjoyed Cao Xiaoning's shoulder beating for him, Cao Xiaoning obeyed, and after hammering for half an hour, Cao Ying gave the mayfly sword to Cao Xiaoning.

Cao Xiaoning held the mayfly sword in the palm of his hand, but found that although the mayfly sword was small, it was not light and heavy. He kept rubbing his hand, and he could feel the lines on the hilt of the sword, such a small sword could be engraved with cloud patterns, which was simply a miracle.

The more Cao Xiaoning looked at it, the more he liked it, and he also wanted to control the mayfly sword to flash away like Cao Ying did just now, but found that the mayfly sword couldn't fly far, Cao Xiaoning suddenly felt strange, with his current cultivation, a needle of the same size could fly at least dozens of zhang away.

"If it's so easy to wield, it's not a mayfly sword. ”

At this moment, Cao Ying, who had finished embroidering the last word, said: "If you don't have a sword technique, you can't use a mayfly sword." ”

Cao Xiaoning asked, "What about the sword technique?"

Cao Ying took off the embroidered cloth in his hand and raised it in the air, the cloth shook and shook, and the dense words embroidered by Cao Ying took off the cloth surface, rotated and floated in the air, and then flew to Cao Xiaoning for the first time, and blurred into Cao Xiaoning's eyebrows.

Cao Xiaoning suddenly had an extra sword trick in his mind.

The name of the sword trick is - a line of heaven!

......

Early the next morning.

The sun is shining, the sky is blue like porcelain, and it is a good weather suitable for long travel.

When Cao Xiaoning was about to walk out of the fence, he turned his head and asked, "Old Cao, where will you go after I leave?"

Cao Ying, who was standing under the eaves, said lightly: "You have what you want to do, and I have what I want to do." ”

Cao Xiaoning nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, when Cao Ying suddenly said, "I'm sorry." ”

Cao Xiaoning stopped and smiled: "Remember Lao Cao, my Cao Xiaoning's master, I can't say I'm sorry." What's more, there are some things that shouldn't be left like this, and I thank you. ”

He knew why Cao Ying said sorry.

Sixteen years ago, his father entrusted himself to Cao Ying, and told Cao Ying not to tell him anything, not to teach him to practice, and not to let him take revenge, just let him be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life.

But Cao Ying finally let him know everything and let him bear this life experience.

Cao Ying was silent.

Cao Xiaoning turned around and waved his hand back: "Let's go." ”

He stepped out of the fence and into the world.
