[Sword Three] Morning and evening

After the competition on the third day of the Famous Sword Competition, the three of Li Muxian had already squeezed into the top ranks, and they became the focus of discussion for a while.

"Have you watched the competition of the Jianqihua team? Oh, it makes me feel like going back to the famous sword competition ten years ago. At that time, there were many players playing this configuration..."

"Look, brother Hua is old and miserable. He almost couldn't get up when he was set up by Shuang Tiance on the opposite side, but he was able to resist in the end. He is a ruthless person."

"If you want me to say that among the three people, Daoist Jianchun is the most favored, and Shanhe Zheye will give it together. Which team have you seen who favors Jianchun so much?"

"Heh, it was called Jiataibao in the first stage, and it's Shoujianchun when the team leaves."

All in all, the three-three fight has been smooth so far, and the configuration of the sword energy flower has become more and more smooth.

In the evening of this day, Li Muxian and Yun Suihe fought for a few rounds as usual and were about to go back to the house. When they walked to the broken bridge, they saw Wen Lizhou talking to the strategist who was fighting today.Wen Lizhou's complexion was not very good, with a reluctant look of disgust, no matter what the people around him said, they didn't respond.

In the past two days, they formed a team, and Li Muxian felt that although Wen Lizhou was joking, he was cheerful and easy-going, and his speech and demeanor were elegant, and he seldom showed embarrassment to others.

But from such a distance, Wen Lizhou was indeed angry.That day, after the officers and soldiers had finished speaking, Wen Lizhou turned his face away and said something, then left him and walked this way alone, waving his sleeves at them and shouting: "Look for me, let's go!"

He walked up to the two of them, adjusted his collar, and smiled: "Li Daochang, do you want to summarize the problems that occurred during the battle today?"

Li Muxian looked back at the man on the bridge, he had already turned around, looking at them with folded hands, unable to see his expression clearly.

He affirmed, "That's Tiance from the opposite side today."

Wen Lizhou's expression changed slightly, and he coughed: "Ah, isn't it, it's annoying to bump into it after riding a red rabbit."

"You recognize him?"

"If you don't fight, you don't know each other. Doesn't this make you know each other?"

Wen Lizhou was vague, obviously trying to confuse this issue.

He wanted to ask something more, but Yun Suihe suddenly tugged at him, Li Muxian unpreparedly leaned towards him, but fortunately he managed to stabilize himself in time so that he didn't fall on top of him.

He frowned and looked up: "Why..."

Before he finished speaking, he noticed that the two were too close, their noses were intertwined, and the quiet sandalwood fragrance came.

His heart skipped a beat, and he stepped back a little.

Yun Suihe said in a low voice: "They can handle the affairs between them themselves, so let's not meddle in other people's business."

His voice was so low that only two people could hear it, and it was a little itchy when it fell on the ears like a feather brushing by.

Li Muxian was silent for a while, then nodded slowly, and said "um" softly.

The next day, the martial arts arena of the Famous Sword Competition.

Jian Qihua battles Ice Whale Poison.

Yun Suihe saw that the six pairs of eyes on the opposite side were all focused on Li Muxian, and suddenly felt a headache, and said to Wen Lizhou on the side: "Protect him, I am my own country."

Wen Lizhou calmed down and calmed down: "It's okay, this ranking is not bad, if it's a big deal, I'll lose."

When Li Muxian heard this, he turned his head and gave him a cold look.

Wen Lizhou immediately stopped talking, as if she didn't see his eyes.

Tournament begins.

The Qixiu Tang Sect on the opposite side came fiercely, Wen Lizhou was overwhelmed at the beginning of the game, and then turned to Li Muxian, leaving traces of sword shadows and chasing stars and arrows, making it impossible to get close.

Li Muxian gradually felt that the sword's power was not as flexible as it was a few days ago. Immediately, his mind was unsteady, and a surge of anger surged up. It happened that Yun Suihe sealed the Qixiu girl inside at this time, and he rushed forward to force her Hit to vent the resentment in my heart.

Wen Lizhou shouted: "Beware of Tang Sect's fleeting shadows!"

As soon as his words fell, the Tang Sect on the opposite side had already disappeared, Yun Suihe immediately said: "Quickly enter the mountains and rivers!"

Holding the sword in both hands, he pressed the long sword into the ground without hesitation. Azure light burst out from the sword, and the sword energy flew out, leaving an aura at Li Muxian's feet.

And at this moment, that Qixiu disciple was about to escape from Tun Sun Yue, and he was only one blow away from defeating her.Without even thinking about it, Li Muxian blasted all the aura under his feet with his sword, fixed Bing Xin on the spot, and went straight to the cloud, and was about to take him away, but Bing Xin left a foot, and spun his toes, lightly Dexterously dodged and ran away.

Immediately there was a buzz of discussion in the audience.

"Blow it up! I said it will blow up sooner or later!"

"This is not bad. This is the longest-lasting sword energy I have seen in these years."

Li Muxian was in a bad mood, and suddenly heard someone calling him from behind: "Muxian!"

Yun Suihe had never called him that before, and the situation was critical, so he obviously didn't think much about it, and just called out.Li Muxian was startled suddenly, his heart trembled slightly.

In the next second, he heard the sound of piercing through the air from behind, Li Muxian reflexively raised his sword to block, the sharp arrow hit the blade of the sword, and there was a crisp sound of "bang", the arrow was deflected and brushed past his side face, leaving behind The next bloodstain fell steadily to the ground.

At the same time, the voice of the hidden sword disciple came from the field: "This game is over, Ice Whale Poison wins."

"Junior brother? Junior brother, it's okay, Bing Xin is not easy to hit." Yun Suihe leaned against the door and knocked on the closed wooden door.

There was silence at the door.

As soon as the competition ended in the afternoon, Li Muxian went back to the room with a gloomy face, shut himself up for nearly two hours, and didn't answer anyone.

Yun Suihe knew that he was very angry, so he must be unhappy after being hit this time.Moreover, the two had also talked about how to deal with Bing Xin before. He always liked challenges, so he must have had the idea of ​​defeating Bing Xin.

He had prepared his speech a long time ago, and planned to take all the responsibility on himself, whether it was too late to gossip, or the situation was crooked.But Li Muxian didn't listen to him at all, and went straight back to his room, and said that he wanted to be alone in meditation, so he could only stop in front of the door and take a walk by the West Lake before going back.

But the time of quiet contemplation was too long.

There was no sound inside, he was worried that his younger brother would be depressed and tortured himself because of self-blame, and also selfishly hoped that he would be by Li Muxian's side at this time, so he said to the door: "Junior brother, if you don't answer... I will do it myself." went in."

Still silent.

He had to take a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in.

But there was no one in the house.

Yun Suihe was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized something, turned around and walked out of the villa.

In a tavern by the Qiantang River.

Wen Lizhou slapped the table, then turned to the waiter and shouted, "Come on, two jars of girl red!"

After shouting, he turned his head and said to the blue-robed Taoist priest sitting across from him, "It's hard to come out once and have a good time, and I won't be able to drink when I go back to Huashan."

This man aggressively pushed open his door and pulled him here, asking the buddy for drinks without a word of explanation, which seemed like he was used to wantonness.

Li Muxian said: "I don't know how to drink."

Wen Lizhou took two jugs of wine from the waiter, ordered two more wine glasses, and said, "I didn't know how to do it before, just drink more."

He poured a glass and pushed it over, beckoning him to drink.

Before going down the mountain, the master specifically told him not to drink too much alcohol. Li Muxian always respected his master, so he couldn't help but hesitate a bit.

Wen Lizhou said suddenly: "Hey, after you drank this glass of wine, I have something to tell you."

Li Muxian looked at him suspiciously, thought for a moment, and his heart sank, it was just a glass of wine, he was simply unhappy, and after getting off the field, he felt uneasy, so he had the right to drink away his worries.

He picked it up and drank it down, Wen Lizhou looked at him with his chin and smiled, "How is it?"

It is mellow and sweet, with a little bit of pungent taste, not as strong as the book says.

He nodded: "Okay, what do you want to say?"

"Okay," Wen Lizhou sighed helplessly, drank half a cup by himself, and said slowly, "Actually, today's match was not easy to fight, so you don't need to be too entangled."

Li Muxian saw that he had filled another cup for himself, and took it into his hand without thinking too much. He gently stroked the smooth porcelain cup with his fingertips, and said in a fluttering voice, "...No."

"Not yet? Brother, if I don't come in to look for you, you can shut yourself up against the wall for a day," he said with a smile, "For martial arts, there are winners and losers, so you have to deal with it with a normal mind. Your skills have already It’s amazing, but it’s just because of Xiangke’s mentality, there’s nothing shameful about it.”

Li Muxian didn't say a word, but raised his head and drank another glass of wine.

Seeing his reluctance and reluctance, he probably blamed himself for not being able to catch up with Bing Xin.

Wen Lizhou sighed, and suddenly said: "Daozhang Li, your brother dotes on you very much, right?"

Li Muxian was slightly startled: "Pet?"

"Is he facing you in everything, and he will satisfy any request you ask, and never say a harsh word? You should have been living smoothly for so many years without any setbacks, right?"

This is true, but when it comes from Wen Lizhou's mouth, it always feels awkward.

Li Muxian paused: "Same friendship should be like this."

Wen Lizhou's expression was indescribable: "Are you serious?"

Li Muxian's expression does not seem to be fake, as if he really thinks so in his heart, Yun Suihe's every kind of accommodation and tenderness towards him are all out of fellowship.

So he said with a mysterious face, "Do you know what happened to Jian Xiaochun who exploded Qi Chunshan last time?"

Li Muxian felt a little dizzy, he propped his forehead with one hand, brushed his broken hair to the side of his face, the bloodstain had scabbed over, it was very thin, like a red thread embedded in white jade.He asked: "How is it?"

"It's already too late to get out of bed."

"..."

When Yun Suihe found them, the two had already finished drinking.

Wen Lizhou is famous for not pouring a thousand cups, and he didn't feel drunk after drinking two jars of wine, but Li Muxian was completely different.He is not good at drinking, he has never drank before, and his alcohol capacity is also poor. He is lying on the table and muttering to himself.

Seeing him coming, Wen Lizhou leaned back, spread his hands and said, "Your junior brother can't handle alcohol, I've just started."

Yun Suihe glanced at him, ignored him, stepped forward to support Li Muxian's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Junior brother, we are going back."

Li Muxian heard the voice, and raised his head to meet his eyes.Although he didn't drink much, he didn't show much when he was drunk. Apart from the fog in his eyes, which made him look a bit confused, he was no different from usual.

But for some reason, the moment he saw Yun Suihe, a slight blush bloomed on his cheeks.

With a thought in his mind, Yun Suihe looked at the person opposite: "Did you say anything to him?"

Wen Lizhou said innocently: "No, I just chatted casually and asked him how he understands fellowship. Don't worry, I've always had a sense of proportion."

There is a ghost.

Yun Suihe lowered his head and helped him up. Li Muxian's hands and feet were weak, he staggered, his body was unstable, and he quickly put one hand on the table.

"Brother, I shouldn't have blown up your mountains and rivers today..." he whispered.

Junior brother was drunk, and his speech was not as cold and hard as before, every word seemed to be soaked in alcohol, so soft that his bones were gone, like a spoiled child.

Yun Suihe's heart was about to melt, he wrapped his arms around his shoulders, hugged him in front of him, and said: "It's okay, senior brother doesn't mind, if you want to blow up, senior brother will blow up the mountains and rivers for you every day from now on."

Wen Lizhou on the side heard this, rolled up his sleeves and shook his face with disgust: "Can you pay attention to the influence, insisting that I make your face look like jade when I cut flowers?"

Yun Suihe didn't bother to argue with him: "I'll take him back first."

Wen Lizhou waved his hand: "Hurry up, there is only one flower left of Jianqi flower, don't call Bishui next time."

Yun Suihe helped his junior brother walk more than ten steps away, suddenly stopped, and said: "Yesterday, that Tiance asked me to inquire about you, you can weigh it yourself."

Wen Lizhou's hands pouring the wine froze slightly, let out a sigh of relief for a while, shook his head and sighed, and murmured to himself: "...It's really difficult."

Drunkenness welled up, and Li Muxian's consciousness was drowsy. He only knew that his brother was helping him to walk back.

—You don’t really know nothing, do you?

——Every time he went down the mountain to practice, he was in a hurry. Some of our relatives and friends wanted him to stay for one more day, saying that someone in Chunyang was waiting for him, and he might be unhappy if he returned late.

——He didn't dare to tell you, for fear that you would feel that he was overwhelmed and you would alienate him.

——He protects you so well and is willing to carry everything for you, do you know what that means?

At that time Li Muxian was already somewhat drunk, but every word Wen Lizhou said fell into his ears like falling stones, stirring up thousands of layers of snow waves.

Yun Suihe treated him so well, so good that he was used to it, thinking that he treated everyone like this, and gradually forgot the deep meaning behind those actions.

It was clear at a glance which ones came from the heart and which ones were for coping purposes, but Yun Suihe never wanted to tell him, fearing that once the two were identified, they might never be the same again.

A decade has passed, so why not wait for another decade.

"Brother, do you think it's okay?"

Li Muxian looked up at him in a daze.

The light in the room was dim, only the moonlight traced his eyebrows and eyes, making him look more and more elegant.

Yun Suihe helped him into the couch in the house, turned around and went to light candles again.

Li Muxian said in a low voice: "There's no need to light it, anyway, it will be...will be wiped out later."

But he has already lit it, but only the side face is illuminated.

Li Muxian spoke intermittently, and some sentences were beyond his brain, so he said directly: "Today's martial arts competition is all my fault, if I... I have more experience, I won't lose..."

Yun Suihe stretched out his index finger to touch his lips: "Senior brother, I don't blame you."

Li Muxian looked at him steadfastly, and suddenly said: "From now on... Brother, don't hide it from me anymore, if it's my fault, it's mine, it doesn't make sense for you to bear it for me."

Yun Suihe's eyes froze, and there seemed to be black clouds surging like ink in the depths of his pupils, but after the surging, he calmed down in an instant.

It turned out that... I thought he was doing too much.

Should have known this would happen.Li Muxian is not willing to be blocked by others, after protecting him for ten years, sooner or later he will dislike this kind of protection.

Whether it is Bing Xin or Tang Sect, the pure Yang mental method is not invincible. Although Taixu's disciples talk about "Taixu's sword intent, invincible in the world" all day long, there has always been no one in the world but the strongest. stronger.

No matter how good his sword skills are, he will not always be undefeated. This is a reality that he will face one day.

It's just that Yun Suihe didn't want to see his always proud and confident junior show a disappointed expression, so he would blindly bear those failures for him.

But he forgot that according to Li Muxian's character, if he knew these things, he would be very unhappy.

"Brother is wrong." The smile on his lips faded, and he lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him, "It won't happen in the future, let Mu Xian face everything by himself, and only then will he become a strong man."

Li Muxian sat on the bed, his eyes were a little hazy, his mind was in a mess.Wen Lizhou's words lingered in his ears endlessly. He heard his senior call his name, just like today in the martial arts arena, subconsciously, as if he had already called it a hundred times in his heart, and lingered between his lips and teeth a thousand times.

—Do you know what that means?

——Don’t lie to yourself with the camaraderie of the same sect, if I stand up to my senior brother’s south wind, he can use the reverse sun to catch me back and copy the "Medicine Classic".

I want to figure it out, and I don't want to be confused by the authorities.

In the quiet room, only the breathing of the two people was accompanied by the crackling sound of burning candles. However, under the silence, there seemed to be a heartbeat like a drum.

One time, one time, one time, one time, one time.

His voice trembled a little, and he was full of drunkenness: "Brother, do you...just think of me as a junior?
