Crossing the Sword

In a simple formation set up by Ye Shisan, Ding Xiang and Xiao Feng fell asleep quietly. Ye Shisan lay on the bed prepared in advance, looking up at the starry sky, thinking deeply.

In the blink of an eye, I have been in this world for several months. Everything here is so fresh and exciting, and my cultivation has been improved again and again. Now I have entered the middle stage of the golden elixir. The constant running around these days has made the golden elixir stronger, and there are vague signs of entering the late stage of the golden elixir.

After cultivating into the Yuanying, you can fly freely. Hehe, I wonder what it feels like to fly? Just thinking about it makes me excited. But I remember that in the Jindan stage, you can fly with a sword. But in reality, whether in the "Weak Water Sutra" or what I have seen and heard, there is no flying sword, a must-have for cultivation. It seems that those can only be appreciated, not believed.

Wait! Since there is no sword-flying technique here, why can't I be the first to try it? A novel idea flashed through his mind, and Ye Shisan's sleepiness was immediately swept away. Yes, why can't I create something myself? And now my martial arts training is completely based on the "Weak Water Sutra". In this way, my martial arts will definitely not have my own style in the future, but the style of the water god Gonggong.

At this time, he finally made an important decision that would affect his future growth - to create his own training method, starting with the art of wielding the sword!

This idea of ​​his not only determined his future achievements, but also marked a leap forward for the entire cultivation world. To borrow a phrase from Mr. Lu Xun: There was no sword-controlling technique in the world, but because Zhang Tianya had this idea, there was also the sword-controlling technique!

But problems also came with it. The first was a flying sword. What? Practicing with the Imperial Sword? Come on, that was bestowed by the Emperor Yan, a symbol of status! Although the quality was more than enough to make a flying sword, at most I could practice secretly in a place where no one was around. If I were in front of people, seeing the Imperial Sword was like seeing the Emperor Yan. It was conceivable that using it to practice the art of flying a sword would be like flying on the Emperor Yan's body? Ye Shisan could not afford this crime.

Unable to sleep, Ye Shisan got up and walked out of the defense formation he had set up. He said to Xiaobai who was also looking at the stars, "Something is on my mind and I can't sleep. You go to sleep first, and I'll keep watch." Both of them were looking at the stars, not because they were in sync, but because there was really nothing else to see at night.

Xiaobai looked up at Ye Shisan and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, I can't sleep either. How about we chat? It's better than doing nothing here." Both of them spoke in low voices, for fear of waking up the Ding siblings who had just fallen asleep.

Ye Shisan nodded, quickly formed seals, and added a soundproof water shield outside the defense array. He sat next to Xiaobai and said, "Now we don't have to worry about disturbing them. What are you talking about? You start."

Xiao Bai was amused by him and laughed sweetly, "You are really interesting. How can a chat be so formal? You even have to start it."

Ye Shisan looked at her genuine smile and said softly, "That's right. A smile makes you look ten years younger. Smile more often. You will look much better than your cold and icy appearance before."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course." Ye Shisan smiled slyly and said, "You are not in love with me, are you? Otherwise, why do you care so much about my opinion?" In fact, he said this because he knew that Xiaobai could not possibly like him, just like flirting with Tiannu Ba on the roof of the inn in Zhuyang Town. He liked to make some slightly sensitive jokes with beautiful women, but only jokes. He would never dare to say the same thing to Dingxiang or Jingwei.

Xiao Bai smiled and shook his head, "You are a good person, and a very good one. But when you lose your temper, I am still afraid of you. In comparison, Xiao Feng is much kinder than you."

Ye Shisan asked, "So you like Xiao Feng?"

Xiaobai's smile faded, and she said with a sad look: "I don't think I will have any relationship again in the future. I'm tired and scared. What's more, I'm a female monster with a dirty body and bloody hands. How can I hinder Xiaofeng's future?" She did not deny it. Ye Shisan knew that she might really have a good impression of Xiaofeng.

Ye Shisan couldn't bear to see her like this, so he tried to comfort her: "Do you think it's worth it for that beast? Besides, your past is not your fault, and it's not your shame! You should learn to have confidence in yourself, and don't give up the forest because of a tree. What's more, that tree is not a good tree."

Xiao Bai shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she said in a trembling voice, "Master Ye, please stop talking, okay? Maybe I can let it go in the future, but I really can't do it now!"

It seems that these tears have been suppressed in her heart for a long time, probably for a hundred years. Ye Shisan thought that maybe if she vented them all at once, she might feel better. Thinking of this, he took out Ding Xiang's piano and said, "Okay, you said you would not say it, but if you don't mind my playing, how about I play a song?" He took some time every day to practice the piano. Although he is not an expert now, he can already keep in tune.

Xiaobai nodded but didn't answer.

"Your tears are soft and hurt, the pale crescent moon hooks into the past. The night is too long and condenses into frost, who is in the attic in cold despair..." Ye Shisan played and sang, the song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" evoked Xiaobai's heartbreaking memories, and she cried like rain hitting the crabapple tree, which made me feel even more sorry for her.

After the song, Ye Shisan gently pressed his palm on the strings of the zither to stop the last lingering sound. He smiled faintly and said, "Cry, cry out all the pain in your heart." Xiaobai cried even more sadly when he heard it, which was heartbreaking and tearful to anyone who saw it.

Ye Shisan did not try to persuade her. Instead, he sighed deeply, looked up at the stars and said, "Cry as much as you want. It will be fine when you've cried enough." Xiaobai turned around and lay on his shoulder, continuing to cry loudly.

After a while, Xiaobai stopped crying, stood up, wiped his tears and said, "I've cried enough!" Then he rushed towards the nearest big tree, his speed having reached the limit.

Ye Shisan immediately thought of the four-character idiom "waiting for the rabbit by the tree stump", thinking that this rabbit spirit would not be upset, so he stood up worriedly.

"Boom!" Fortunately, Xiaobai didn't really want to commit suicide. He broke the tree with one punch at the critical moment. He let out a long breath and smiled, "It's good now. All the unhappiness has been vented."

Ye Shisan smiled knowingly, what a female monster with personality.

"You're fine now, but the tree is in a miserable state." A male voice with a hint of reproach appeared out of nowhere. Ye Shisan and Xiaobai were unable to find the source of the voice, as if the other party was talking directly to their hearts.

Shocked, Ye Shisan quickly opened his Sky Eye to search, but still found nothing.
