Sir, this sword is a keepsake

The author has something to say: When I updated this article, I found out that I forgot to set the publication time for yesterday's saved manuscript. As a result, a technical error caused the update to be missed by one day.I reflect on my review!

Shen Fang was horrified when he heard this. He agreed with what Shen Yucheng and Ye Keseng said about the decline of martial arts, and he also knew that the grand occasion of fighting among hundreds of soldiers in the past was no longer, but to say that this martial arts is not as good as one generation after another is really absurd.

"Look at you, you don't seem to agree with me."

"Please also explain, Master."

"You will understand when you have studied the nineteenth year of the Spring and Autumn Period and become one of the first-class masters." The wild guest monk paused, "Oh, I almost forgot. , you should know about the battle at Kunlun Mountain."

"Master is referring to the fact that my father broke the law of wishing witches in Xiliang back then?"

"That's right, both he and Zhu Wu have the ability to fight against thousands of troops with the strength of one person." Ye Keseng looked at Shen Fang, "Right now you still think that just relying on a few thousand armored soldiers alone will surely Can it stand against the so-called bravery of a man?"

"No, I don't dare to make a decision," Shen Fang recalled that a few days ago, Zhuang Li asked himself to study "Spring and Autumn Nineteen" in advance, and his expression moved slightly, "It's just that such a powerful martial arts in the world is rare in a century, unless they take arrive……"

Shen Fang's idea was too ridiculous and absurd, he didn't think about it, and asked again, "Is there such a capable person in the inch of grass? Or is it that the swordsman actually obtained the power of the Xiliang witch?"

"It's hard to say," the wild monk Youyou repeated, "It's hard to say."

"I don't know how much Master knows about the 20-year agreement between my father and Qi Di?"

Ye Keseng rolled his eyes, "It's not too much, it's not too much. You mentioned earlier that hundreds of soldiers were fighting each other. It seems that Shen Yucheng didn't hide this matter from you."

Shen Fang felt guilty for a second for his father.

"Then you should know that in the eyes of many people in the Jianghu, your father is a sinner in the martial arts. With his unmatched martial arts attainments at that time, he actually joined the imperial court's eagle dog. In the eyes of many people, this is his own fault Gan Ruoluo, although his cultivation has not diminished, but in terms of martial arts practice, after the Kunlun battle, your father's situation is completely different from before."

"My father, it's to save the common people." Shen Fang said lightly.

Ye Keseng's expression was half a smile, "He did it, your father is going to be a saint."

Shen Fang's face turned cold, but he returned to normal immediately.He knew in his heart that Monk Ye Ke had no hostility towards Yongxia Villa, and even had a good impression of him.

"Unfortunately, the common people don't know your father's humiliation. They only know Qi Di's illustrious military achievements, and only know that the Liang cavalry is invincible. Of course, your father doesn't care about these false names. He has lived a clean and contented life these years, but he didn't expect , Qi Di, this old fox, settled accounts after the autumn, and finally shot him."

Shen Fang clenched his sword tightly. It was just a tiny movement, but Ye Keseng noticed it.

"However, the emperor's affairs cannot be theorized as usual. You must know that the hole in the emperor's heart is a bottomless pit that will never be filled. Yesterday Xiliang was a threat, today it is the Shen family, who knows tomorrow..."

Hearing that Shen Fang's breathing had returned to calm, he laughed lowly and said, "Boy, you are serious enough, yes, you are indeed a good seedling." Speaking of this, he sighed and muttered "It's a pity"

Shen Fang understood what his pity meant, he turned his heart and said sternly: "Then I only saw it before, should this junior send the sword manual into the palace?"

"Hey, I knew you were unwilling. I haven't asked about worldly affairs for many years, so I can't fool you. What if your father has something behind you, and after listening to me, you slip away with the sword manual? It’s not a big deal that ruined them! You have to ask Gui Xuzi about this.”

He caught a glimpse of Shen Fang's eyes flickering when he heard that he mentioned the second hand, and smiled, "However, in my humble opinion, your father sent you to deliver the sword manual, and let you face Qi Di alone. , It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s like a sheep going into a tiger’s mouth. You actually agreed, I think you don’t look like a temper that is at the mercy of others, why, you have thought a lot about this journey..."

Shen Fang laughed at himself, ""The reasons for this are complicated, and to tell you the truth, I have selfish intentions to avenge my elder brother.My senior brother went down the mountain half a year ago to do errands. On the way back to the villa, he met a villain who was extremely skilled and was brutally murdered. I went down the mountain this time to find out the real murderer and avenge him.However, it is still quite confused so far, only knowing that it has something to do with certain scouts in Shenwu Pavilion. "

Ye Keseng gave a low laugh, and said a few words, "So that's how it is." Then he said, "Hatred is indeed a kind of thing that makes people want to stop and eats the heart."

"Master, you are worrying too much. If I were blinded by hatred, I wouldn't have personally destroyed brother's legacy sword, Huangxue."

The wild guest monk pondered for a while, and said, "The monk underestimated you. However, I still need to remind you more, if people are driven by hatred for too long, their hearts will become numb over time."

"However," he changed his voice, "you want to avenge your elder brother, if the emperor is the instigator behind this, what about you?"

Shen Fang was speechless.

"If not, it's his subordinates who made their own decisions, so what about you? Ask the emperor to give you a chance to kill him?" Seeing that Shen Fang was still thinking, Ye Keseng sighed, "Do you want to hear my opinion? "

"Master, please tell me." Shen Fang lowered his head slightly and said humbly.

"Every man is innocent, but he is guilty."

Shen Fang's pupils shrank, and he felt his heart was clenched by something.

"Since you all understand this truth, why doesn't he, an emperor who is used to power tactics, not understand?"

"As for the death of your elder brother... I think, if he hadn't died, you wouldn't have made up your mind to bring the sword manual down the mountain."

"It sounds like something the emperor would do... But after thinking about it, you are the one who is going to the palace, so if you have a bloody thorn in your heart, how can it benefit him? "

"All he wants is the Nineteenth Spring and Autumn Period that broke Xiliang for him. If you, Shen Fang, are not willing to give it to you, why not someone else?"

"Besides, wouldn't he be worried that you secretly learned the nineteenth year of the Spring and Autumn Period on the way... Once you enter the palace, you will die."

Every word was deafening, Shen Fang pursed his lips.

At this moment, there was a deafening loud noise from the surface of the lake, and the two of them had high internal strength, but they couldn't help being confused.Listening to the movement, there was a huge amount of water splashing up into the sky and hitting the water surface heavily, but it was by no means an ordinary water sound.It seems that there are giants at the bottom of the lake making waves, lurking and drilling out of the lake, showing their existence and ability.Hush, huh, huh, after a few seconds, the sound of the water was moving from far to near.

The wild guest monk raised a finger and put it in front of his lips, signaling Shen Fang not to speak.

For a moment, just a few feet away, separated by a wall, it was like a great river pouring from the sky, pouring water on this mountain and lake, covering this humble house in the waves.

As the lake and mountains vibrated and the water roared, Shen Fang vaguely heard a series of extremely melodious whistling mixed in, the whistling sound was comfortable and lingering, it felt like a world away.

The sound of the torrent and howling gradually subsided, like the ebb and flow of the tide, and after an unknown amount of time, the surroundings returned to silence.Monk Ye Ke listened attentively for a moment, raised his hand and released a ray of internal energy to extinguish the candles in the house.As soon as the candles were extinguished, it was pitch black, and there was no moonlight outside the thin window.

In the complete darkness, Shen Fang breathed a long sigh of relief silently.From the full and deep roar, he knew that Zhuang Li was not only safe, but also had improved a lot.

After a while, the outside of the window gradually brightened up, as if the person who stole the moon returned the moon to the night sky.

The words of the wild guest monk were deafening, and countless strange and weird gray lines and mysteries gradually emerged, like a knotted net, laid out in front of Shen Fang.In deep thought, he fell asleep exhaustedly.

In the dream in the second half of the night, he didn't wait for the sword shadow thousands of miles away to start his dream, and let the terrifying and sneaky woman's hand torture him in his dream for a long time.

……

At a certain moment, Shen Fang raised his head suddenly, and the noise close to his ears made him stand up subconsciously, and his knees touched the edge of the wooden case, the pain made him wake up a lot—outside the window, the sky was already bright, and inside the house Glow a cool gray blue.

The knocking sound woke up the wild guest monk who was still snoring, only to hear his last snoring start like a candle, and then extinguished, he opened his eyes suddenly, before he could speak, he only saw Shen Fang's back.

Shen Fang lifted the curtain and came out, seeing Nangong Fuyun sitting on the chair, the two exchanged a silent look.Outside the door, there was the sound of colliding tiles one after another, as if a small animal knocked over the dishes in a chest of drawers.

Shen Fang walked to the door, pulled out the wooden latch, pushed the door open, and a strong smell of wine spread over the face.He caught his breath.But the amber eyes suddenly lit up: the wet Zhuang Li was standing in the courtyard, a few steps away from him.Black hair and gray clothes were tightly attached to the thin outline of the body. Water was dripping from head to toe, and his body was full of moisture, as if he had just been fished out of the water. There was already a piece of dark wet mud under his feet.At his feet, two wine jars lying on the ground with their seals torn off were still rolling left and right.

When Zhuang Li saw him, he grinned, his face was pale, but he smiled brightly.At this time, the waning moon was in the sky, and the sky was white with gray, and gray with blue, Zhuang Li smiled, and Shen Fang felt that the courtyard was full of morning light.But he also clearly saw that Zhuang Li's eyes were less dark and more pusy, as if covered with a thin layer of frost.

Shen Fang was about to speak when his foot touched one of the empty wine jars.Zhuang Li stepped forward and said, "Hey, I have water on my body, not wine. I drank all the wine in my stomach."

The wine that the wild guest monk said has great uses, it turned out to be for Zhuang Li to drink.

"It turns out that you can drink so well." Shen Fang answered.

"It's not that I drink well, it's that these wines are very special, not intoxicating, but refreshing." Zhuang Li still looked at Shen Fang with a smile.

"It was you who made such a big fight in the lake last night." Shen Fang walked up to Zhuang Li, looked at the latter's pale and almost transparent face, and subconsciously avoided those misty eyes, even a little confused. eyes, but was aroused by the clearly visible slender waist.

"I went to the Mirror Lake."

Shen Fang closed his eyes, suppressed the agitation of his body, and said with an unchanged expression, "Is there really a difference between the inside and the outside of this mirror lake?"

"For ordinary people, it's just a sterile dead lake. For those of us who practice the Dream Butterfly Mind Method, there is indeed a distinction between inside and outside. I have to stay in the mirror lake for a night before I can..." Zhuang Li's voice paused, and he tilted his head to cooperate with Shen Fang, so that the latter could remove a small piece of green water grass from his head.

Shen Fang patiently and gently pulled out the water plants entangled in Zhuang Li's hair bit by bit.

"You stayed in the lake all night?"

"Well, to be precise, it's the bottom of the lake. This wine is just for me to keep out the cold—" Zhuang Li looked past Shen Fang, and smiled gratefully at the wild monk who just walked out of the house.

The wild guest monk responded with a calm smile, "Since your mentality of Yanzhishan has improved to a higher level, I think Laiye can temporarily suppress the evil mist in his body."

Shen Fang was taken aback for a moment, then saw Zhuang Li nodded seriously, and said to himself: "If Jinghu Moon is used properly, it can indeed play a soothing role."

It turns out that above the shadow of the cold pool, the second layer of Mengdie's mind is Jinghuyue.

"Where's the third level of Mengdie's mind?" Shen Fang asked curiously.

"Canglangdie, but I have to practice for at least another ten years. I can realize the mirror lake moon today, thanks to this master who has been guarding the mirror lake here for many years."

The monk Ye Ke shook his head, "You don't need to thank me, if you want to thank me, you should hurry up to Wuyou Peak and thank that old Taoist." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to step into the house when, unfortunately, he ran into a person rushing towards him. When he came out, there was a pair of his sharp eyes scrutinizing him.

Nangong Fuyun said decisively in a voice that Zhuang Li and Shen Fang could hear, "Be careful, this monk is very strange."
