Born with the bones

Inexplicably, I got a little follower named Xu Changsui, and then brought him back to Baimen Mountain in a hurry.

In fact, it's quite strange to think about it, Xu Changsui looked at me with those bright black eyes, and I suddenly felt that the boring days of Baimen Mountain didn't seem so sad.

But after taking him back, something went wrong.That dead old man insisted that he only recognized me as an apprentice, and he didn't want to accept Xu Chang as his apprentice.Xu Changsui didn't say a word, just stood behind me silently.

I sat on the side angrily and didn't speak. I took the teapot and began to drink water as if venting my anger. The old man suddenly said, "I won't accept him as an apprentice. You can accept him as an apprentice."

I was so scared that I choked, tears, nose, and saliva came down, my face was flushed, and I looked at the old man in disbelief: "Me!? I'll teach him!?"

The old man nodded calmly.

Xu Changsui raised his head, his eyes sparkling.

"This..." I was hesitating, but the old man said again, "Sure enough, you think you are too bad, you can't even teach a six-year-old child."

I jumped up angrily: "Who says you can't teach anymore! If you teach, teach! I will learn everything you know and teach him everything!"

The old man laughed, and Xu Changsui ran over and hugged my waist winkingly, and called out: "Master~"

Although I don't want to admit it, I must say that the first time he called me master, I really... my heart melted.

So Xu Chang came along with me and followed the old man to live in Baimen Mountain.

After really getting in touch with the old man, I realized that the old man is an amazing person.Needless to say about martial arts, chess is a general with twenty moves, I have never learned go, I can't play the piano, and I can play the flute amazingly.

And I found that Xu Changsui is even more amazing.

Once the old man suddenly sighed inexplicably and said, this kid is talented, if he can learn martial arts like mine, I only hope that he will not associate with evil.

I was not convinced, and said, then you are not afraid that I will learn to be in the company of evil?

The old man smiled, "Although you have a bad temper and a ruffian, you are inherently kind and don't look down on people who are weaker than you. If you become famous one day, you will definitely not bully people who are weaker than you."

The old man was right, but he didn't expect that I would still become a sinner who could never forgive himself.

Although the old man refused to recognize Xu Changsui as his apprentice, but apart from martial arts, as long as Xu Changsui wanted to learn, he would learn anything.When Xu Changsui was eight years old, and I was 14 years old, the old man pointed to Xu Changsui's handwriting and said to me, "Look at you, you have no writing skills, no character, and then look at Changsui's handwriting... I won't brag, I'm afraid of you sad."

I jumped right from what I said. After practicing hard for two years, I was finally able to use it to deceive people.

But calligraphy can be practiced, martial arts can be learned, even when drawing, I can point to ink droplets and say it is a rock or a crow, but I can't do it at all.The old head is an expert in the world in the novel, and Xu Changsui and I can go to the market every half a month, but he really doesn't leave home, but he knows the world's affairs.

Every time he and Xu Changsui chatted about Jianghu, the government's rectification, and the Four Books and Five Classics of Gongyang Biography, I would fall asleep holding Xu Changsui's sword by the side.

Once in the middle of the conversation, Xu Changsui suddenly turned his head and said, "Master, do you want to go back to sleep in your room? It's easy to catch cold here."

I woke up in a jerk, and from then on I started to work hard...

Well, so I really went back to my room and went to sleep.

The eight-year-old Xu Changsui is already a clean boy, without baby fat, as white and clean as a little boy in a storybook, and his manners have always been refined.When I first came here, I always spoke softly like a little girl, but now I have let go of my courage after staying for three years, and occasionally dare to joke with me.

Today I taught him the fifth move of the Moon Breaking Swordsmanship: touch the ground with the left foot, rise up backwards, spin the right hand to release the force, and stab the enemy's throat forward with the sword.kill.

This is easy to say, but it is a clever skill to spin and unload force. If the internal force is turned sideways, the enemy is not dead, and we are internally injured, so what I teach is also to be cautious.But who would have expected me to be so careful, when Xu Changsui was practicing his sword, suddenly the sword fell, and he lay down on the ground with a pale face.

I was so scared that I quickly threw my sword and went to look at him.Last year, because I was lazy when I was learning martial arts, and the things I taught him were messy, he recoiled internally and lay on the bed for a whole week.Fortunately, he was young and had just practiced martial arts not long ago, so the recoil of internal force would not hurt his muscles and bones, and he recovered after only a few days of cultivation.

But he was still poorly nourished at that time, his small body was huddled in my arms, and he was full of bones when I touched it casually, his brows were tightly closed, and the corners of his forehead were full of sweat.

I knelt down and begged the old man to save him, and begged the old man to teach him himself.The old man saved him, but he still refused to teach him himself.

He said: "You are my apprentice, I will not harm you, he is your apprentice, naturally you must find a way not to harm him."

Since then, I have taken the old man's class and never dozed off again.

This time it happened again, I was so scared that I couldn't speak anymore, I just kept shouting: "Long follower, adjust your breath, don't exercise your internal energy anymore. Long follower!"

With a pale face, Xu Changsui stretched out his trembling hand to grab my collar, rubbed his head against my arms, and whispered, "Master...it hurts...will I..."

I gritted my teeth and said, "Shut up, adjust your breath first, the old man will come down immediately after he goes to the top of the mountain."

Every day at this time, the old man goes to the top of the mountain to call it a practice. Let us not disturb him. Even if he dies, we have to wait for him to go down the mountain to collect his body.Once I went naughty once, and he beat me off the top of the mountain with a wave of his hand. I didn't get out of bed for ten days, and my injuries were worse than that of Xu Changsuan's internal force recoil.

Later, this became a clear rule, and neither Xu Changsui nor I dared to commit it again.

Xu Changsui is feeling very uncomfortable at this moment. He was interrupted by me, but he was still moaning and saying: "Master... Will I never be able to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake again... I still want to eat the mochi made by Aunt Li Po tofu..."

I love to eat meat, but Xu Changsui is a vegetarian. Every time we go down the mountain, the old man gives us a little money. I always like to run to Taibai Tower. After eating, there is no money left.Xu Changsui doesn't like Taibailou either, but prefers Guiji's sweet-scented osmanthus cake.Guiji's sweet-scented osmanthus cakes are not cheap. Every time I go down the mountain, I play boxing games with him, and I will listen to whoever wins.But of course I win every time, and he is dragged by me from the gate of Guiji to Taibailou eagerly.

Every time I go to Taibailou, Xu Changsui pokes the meat in the bowl wearily, and I will look around while eating, a little looking forward... Well, I don't really look forward to it... Anyway, I am a little looking forward, hoping to meet Xu Ting.

But Xu Ting didn't show up, and Xu Changsui still didn't like to eat Taibailou.

This time Xu Changsu was curled up in my arms, and my heart ached like it was throbbing. I was afraid that this kid would disappear. He said he wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so I naturally agreed: "Okay, okay, next time I won't be with you again." You guess the game, you can eat whatever you say, and I will listen to you from now on. I asked Aunt Li to make a lot of mapo tofu for you, and you can vomit after eating it. Xu Changsui... Xu Changsui..."

Xu Changsui said, "Really."

Although I was immersed in unspeakable sadness, Xu Changsui's sudden change of voice still caught my attention.

I looked down and saw that this kid's complexion was pale, it was the illusion created by my concern, he was obviously rosy now, and he had a cunning smile.

I felt that the veins on my forehead were about to pop out, and I turned Xu Changsui over with my hands hard, and slapped his ass hard.

Xu Changsui yelled and said, "Master, you can hit me! But you have to keep your word! Next time I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake!!"

Angry at best, I bought him sweet-scented osmanthus cake and agreed that it would be fair to eat vegetarian food for one week and meat for two weeks.

Later, Xu Changsui and I grew up. Xu Changsui was 12 years old. I, the old man pushed me down the mountain, but I refused. I said I would teach Xu Changsui until I had nothing to teach.

Now that I think about it, I was really stupid. Xu Changsui was born with martial arts material. When he was 14 years old, his martial arts skills were put in the Jianghu, killing one by one. The so-called first-class masters below the leader of the martial arts are not enough for him.

But I have never fought against people at the foot of the mountain, and I fight with Xu Chang and the old man every day, exchanging knives, guns, sticks and meteor hammers, and I don't know what it is like at the foot of the mountain.I'm only afraid that if Xu Chang follows him down the mountain, he will be cold, hungry and bullied, and I will have to suffer to death.

When Xu Changsui was 16 years old, we went to Aunt Li's place to eat mapo tofu. When we went up the mountain, Xu Changsui suddenly said, "Master, Aunt Li always said that she would introduce me to a wife, but I don't want a daughter-in-law."

I chuckled: "My daughter-in-law doesn't even want it, so what do you want?"

Xu Changsui said seriously: "I want to be with Master, always together."

What I said made me extremely happy, I smiled and ruffled his hair, and said, "Okay."
