You have returned slowly

That was the fifth year since Ye Ying entered Jianzhong.

Although Ye Ying is a calm and calm person, she also has emotions, desires, and distracting thoughts. In addition, there are unresolved thoughts lingering in her heart.

The Supreme Heart Sword was discovered by Ye Mengqiu from the Wuyue Ancient Sword House. Although he tried to practice it, he couldn't get it right.Later, Ye Mengqiu had five sons, the eldest son Ye Ying couldn't even master the four seasons swordsmanship, the second son Ye Hui didn't like to practice swordsmanship, the third son Ye Wei only cared about competing in martial arts, the fourth son Ye Meng was fond of wine and prone to drunkenness, and the fifth son Ye Fan directly Disappeared.

It wasn't until Ye Ying was discovered by Aunt Gongsun that Ye Mengqiu rekindled hope, led Ye Ying to the sword mound, and entrusted him with the supreme mind method, hoping that he could practice it one day.

Speaking of this, I have to mention Jianzhong.

It was the year when Wu Zetian was still under the rule. Ye Mengqiu Hanchuang had been studying hard for a long time, and his heart was blocked as the scientific examination was approaching. Hearing that the West Lake in Yangzhou was so beautiful, he happily went to relax.Sure enough, Ye Mengqiu's reputation was well-deserved, and Ye Mengqiu strolled by the lake, feeling relaxed and happy, relieved a lot of stagnation, and rented a small boat to swim in the lake on a whim.

Strange to say, when he was indulging in landscape painting, he suddenly heard the sound of splashing water. He got up and saw a person struggling in the lake as if drowning. Ye Mengqiu knew the nature of water, so he jumped down Together with the boatman, they dragged the man onto the boat, and worked hard for a long time with blowing on their stomachs before seeing the man wake up slowly.

After the boat docked, Ye Mengqiu saw that he was drenched and felt sorry for him, so he went to the city to buy clean clothes and food for him, the man thanked him repeatedly and took it.After he was full, the strong man made a bow, "Thank you for your rescue. I am a businessman. I was robbed by water thieves and threw me off the boat. I thought I was going to die here. There is nothing long-lasting, only the blueprints that I accidentally obtained many years ago are kept close to me, so I will give it to my benefactor."

Ye Mengqiu took the drawing that the man took out from his pocket, and saw that it was packed in cowhide and sealed with beeswax, without any damage from soaking, it seemed very ordinary.I thought it was just saving someone's life, and I didn't expect anything in return, so I thanked him and accepted it.

The two chatted again, separated from the inn, and Ye Mengqiu returned to the inn. When he had nothing to do, he remembered the blueprint, took it out and looked at it carefully for a while, then gently opened the mouth with a knife to take out the contents.

It was a map, and the marked location was just to the south of Yangzhou City.

In the early morning of the second day, Ye Mengqiu boarded the boat rented yesterday with great interest and set off.The morning fog gradually dissipated, and the sun broke through the smog and filled the lake. He had the right to enjoy the scenery, and chatted with the boatman. After walking for more than two hours, he vaguely saw a small island appearing on the lake. in view.

The boatman exclaimed, "Hey, I've been traveling on this lake for decades and never knew there was such a place." Hearing this, Ye Mengqiu, who had never had any hope, had a faint premonition: There must be a huge disaster this time. reward.

After dismissing the boatman, Ye Mengqiu staggered along the hill.With the sun in the sky, Ye Mengqiu climbed profusely in sweat. After turning over the hill, a huge monster appeared in front of him.

"This is?" Turning around this object, Ye Mengqiu looked it up curiously. The top port is round and thin, the bottom is round, and the whole body is black. There is an exit leading to the big pool in front, just like the sword casting furnace in the blacksmith's place in the village.

Could it be that it was the Wuyue Ancient Sword House that was mentioned many times in the Spring and Autumn Famous Records?Ye Mengqiu was very excited, it seems that this blueprint actually marked the location of such a treasure!That being the case, is it like the record in the book that there is a peerless sword hidden?

Ye Mengqiu flicked the furnace wall with his fingers, and when he heard the dull humming, he knew it was empty.Where is the sword?Ye Mengqiu calmed down and looked around, only to realize that he was in a valley. The most strange thing was that it was autumn, but there were wild flowers all over the mountains and plains, green grass and fragrant flowers.When he was secretly surprised, he saw a certain place in front of him surrounded by mist, which was very mysterious, so he got up and walked there.

The road was bumpy, Ye Mengqiu stumbled and his back was sore, he estimated that after walking for more than an hour, he finally arrived at the place where the fog was.It seemed to be an entrance, covered by mist, accompanied by a strange fragrance, Ye Mengqiu gulped down a big mouthful of saliva, and cautiously groped in under the lure of the treasure.

Ye Mengqiu was stunned.

In this valley, there are four changing seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter, with strange flowers, grasses and strange rocks, and abundant aura lingering all over his body. Ye Mengqiu felt his meridians relax and was overjoyed. He searched carefully along the mountain wall and walked to the end. I saw a person standing there.Hearing footsteps, the old man turned around and saw Ye Mengqiu's surprised face, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

The two of them talked for a long time, and Ye Mengqiu knew that the old man was Liu Fenggu, the owner of the Domineering Villa by the West Lake, and felt that he had become a friend for many years.Liu Wuye said that this place is a good place for self-cultivation and self-cultivation, so he often comes here, but he didn't expect to meet other people here.

What happened after that was logical, Ye Mengqiu failed the scientific examination, so he moved his family here, and built the Tibetan Sword Villa with the help of Mr. Liu Wuye.The two of them discussed and chatted here when they had nothing to do. Ye Mengqiu also created his own Four Seasons swordsmanship, and buried all the swords he forged in his life here, naming it "Sword Tomb."

Later, when Ye Mengqiu came here alone to realize Taoism, he accidentally discovered a strange character engraved on a certain mountain wall. After careful inspection, he found that it was actually a sword technique written in the Yue language, called the Supreme Heart Sword.

Alright, that's the end of the story, presumably all the judges have understood why Ye Ying chose Jianzhong as the retreat place.

The Sword Tomb is overflowing with aura. Ye Ying has practiced here for five years, and her inner strength has grown a lot, but she still can't understand the mystery in her heart. The state where the heart is the sword.

It is quite dangerous to retreat and cultivate. It is necessary to use all kinds of concentrated power of the spirit to drive the speed of the movement. Died suddenly.

After thinking hard day and night, Ye Ying haggarded a lot, but Ye Ying's inner demons did not dissipate, and she gradually became a little dazed. The scene of Li Chengen's body covered in blood that day often appeared in front of her eyes. Bright blood red.And as time went by, the more haunting thought was whether Li Chengen had married a wife and had children and abandoned him. Every time I thought about it, I felt unbearable grief in my heart, and the memories of my youth were chained like a cage, and the depression in my heart finally broke out.

That day, he sat in front of the stone wall and meditated, gradually feeling physically and mentally exhausted, no longer able to support himself, leaning against the stone wall behind him and fell into a deep sleep.

The lonely darkness engulfed everything around him, Ye Ying only felt ice-cold all over his body, as if he was in the bottom of the sea where he was looking for the thousand-year-old cold iron, it was so cold to the marrow, it froze his thinking and consciousness, and he sank straight down .That's fine, without so many troubles, without that heavy pressure and burden, that's all.

I don't know how long it has passed, it seems like a long time, Ye Ying's remaining consciousness saw something shaking in front of her eyes.

"Yinger."

A familiar voice came, Ye Ying raised her heavy eyelids, and looked over with force.A gray-haired middle-aged man was rubbing against the stone wall with a dignified expression, his appearance was the same as six years ago, his eyes were sharp but full of love.

"Father..." Ye Ying whispered unconsciously, tilting her head and falling asleep again.

"Ying'er, don't go to sleep, do you still remember what I said when I handed over the villa to you? How can you be so lazy as the successor just now, how can you be the master of the village?" Ye Mengqiu's voice was like a bell, disturbing Ye Ying Frowning, he managed to open his eyes to look at him.

"My child remembers." Ye Ying muttered, "But, my child will not be able to refine the Supreme Heart Sword in the end."

"Hmph, what can't my Ye Mengqiu's son do? Don't waste my ten years teaching you!" Ye Mengqiu yelled angrily, "My son must not be a waste!"

Ye Ying was startled, and suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"My son must not be a waste!"

Ten-year-old Ye Ying felt the burning pain in her cheek, and her face was very calm when she heard the words, without any disturbance.He supported himself to stand up with his worn and swollen hands, ignoring the pain from the gravel piercing his heart, he replied softly but firmly, "I will not be a waste."

Ye Mengqiu's raised hand froze in mid-air, slumped down and hung by his side, he closed his eyes as if emotionally overwhelmed, after a long time, he said slowly, "Ying'er, only you must succeed, for your mother. "

Mother.Ye Ying's heart was beaten hard.It was the first time he asked Ye Mengqiu, "Father, please tell me about my mother."

Ye Mengqiu turned his back and stopped looking at him, said quietly, "If you can succeed as the owner of Hidden Sword Villa, I will tell you." After saying that, he walked away.

All of this gradually disappeared from the sight, Ye Ying sat there alone, silent, as if water dripped into the water, there was a tick-tock sound.

Someone walked into the field of vision, walked up to him and stood still, as if checking the writing on the wall.Ye Ying stared at him sideways, always feeling that this young and energetic face seemed familiar.

"Huh, the Yue language? 'Multiple eyes can confuse the mind...the wind on the body will help you know the enemy...no sword is better than having a sword...is it for...hiding the sword...', the method of the supreme heart sword?" The young man studied it hard and was amazed, "I didn't expect such a sword technique to be hidden here!...Who?"

"Oh, what Liu Fenggu didn't discover, did you and other juniors get it?" A cold voice sounded from behind the young man, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he fixed his eyes, and Ye Ying was also secretly surprised.This woman's orchid-like face is extremely beautiful, but her white hair reaches her waist, and her jade-like eyes are shining with a cold light.

Facing this beauty, the young man couldn't help but blushed and stammered, "Xiao Ke...Ye Mengqiu...I don't know...I don't know why the girl is here..." Ye Ying couldn't help but narrowed her eyes when she heard this, wondering why she looked so familiar. It was his father when he was young.

"Why are you here?" The woman raised her chin, "This is where I live, but you are disturbing people's peace without authorization."

"This... this, Xiao Ke didn't intend to offend... it's just that this place is owned by Ye's family now..." Ye Mengqiu scratched his head in embarrassment, watching the woman's face carefully, not knowing what to do.The woman didn't respond when she heard the words, and the ancient well was silent, "Wu Yuelu is not something that ordinary people can find, and you have been recognized by my tribe for coming here. If you can defeat me with swordsmanship, I will hand over this place .”

Want to compare swords?Ye Mengqiu froze on the spot, "It's impossible, if you hurt the girl, Ye will take the responsibility..." Before he finished speaking, several sword qi came out from the woman, and they came straight to Ye Mengqiu's face. Ye Mengqiu couldn't dodge in time, his forehead hair A strand was cut off, and in embarrassment, he had to draw his sword out of its sheath to resist again and again.Blocking all the sword energy, Ye Mengqiu's expression sank. Didn't expect this woman to look weak and weak, but her inner strength is so strong?

Ye Ying, who watched for a long time, found another strangeness: this woman seems to be invisible.
