A certain sword soul's infinite journey

"Children will be hated if they ask so many questions." Lin Yi said.

But Arya didn't mind: "I have a brother there too."

"It's the illegitimate child."

"That's my brother too!"

Looking at Arya who was frowning, Lin Yi smiled.

"What a lovely kid."

He stretched out his hand.

"My name is Yi Lin, and I will be traveling with you in the next period of time."

"My name is Arya, Arya Stark."

She didn't stretch out her hand, but looked up at him seriously.

Lin Yi didn't care, and said with a smile: "Like you, I also hate Lannister, so don't worry about me harming you during the next journey. Not only that, I will also ensure the smooth progress of the team so that We can successfully reach the Great Wall of Impossibility.”

With that said, Lin Yi wanted to pat Arya on the head.

But this time Arya dodged it.

"Stay alert," she said.

"Okay." Lin Yi smiled, "Okay, go out, staying in the woods for too long will arouse suspicion."

Arya nodded, and staggered towards the outside of the woods.

"What do you want to do to her?" Yoren asked, frowning.

"Even a child has noticed it, don't you know?"

Lin Yi glanced at him.

The furrows on Yoren's brow deepened.

"It seems that you really don't understand... To be honest, I sometimes admire your luck. You have traveled the Seven Kingdoms for many years, and you are still alive and kicking."

"..."

Lin Yi turned his head to look at Youlun who was covered in black lines, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, at least one thing is beyond doubt - if I want to harm you, you are already dead."

"So what exactly do you want to do?"

Lin Yi turned around with his hands behind his back, looked at Arya's crooked and thin back, and said softly.

"I just like this child very much and want to teach her how to learn swords."

……

At night, Lin Yi crossed his legs and closed his eyes, sitting on a stone by the river, ten meters away was the camp.

A slender wooden stick flipped the bonfire aimlessly, and there was a crackling sound as the flames jumped.

"Can't sleep?"

Yoren took the flagon and sat across from the campfire.

Arya looked up at him, then looked down again.

"Go to bed early, there is still a long way to go tomorrow..."

"Has he always sat and slept like this?" Arya asked suddenly.

Hearing this, You Lun glanced at Lin Yi over there.

"I don't know - he used to disappear every evening and come back at dawn."

"..." Arya looked up at him, "Do you know what Yi Chen means?"

Hearing these words, Yoren paused for a drink, then took it aside and looked at her in surprise.

"Didn't you already know?"

"I don't know." Arya shook her head.

"But he said you guessed it."

Arya's eyes lit up when she heard the words, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"I guessed a little bit, but I can't be sure... Like Yi said, we are not relatives."

Yoren realized that he had become a mouthpiece, he took a sip of his wine helplessly, and said.

"Okay, he said he likes you very much and wants to teach you how to sword... Do you want to learn?"

"Of course!" Arya showed joy, but then asked with some hesitation, "But isn't he a wizard?"

"He's a good swordsman..."

Yoren wanted to take a sip of wine, but before he could reach his lips, he caught Arya's suspicious look.

So Yoren added grumpily.

"This sentence comes from a night watchman brother... Although I may not be as smart as you, a noble daughter, but believe me, I have drunk more wine than you have eaten in your life..."

"Hey, I didn't doubt you." Arya was a little embarrassed.

"You told me before that you wanted to find him, and now you have got your wish, but you'd better just learn swords from him, and don't touch those things that even I find creepy."

"Is it a demon? Or a different ghost?" Arya asked calmly.

"It's best not to." Yoren shook his head, "The world of wizards is too far away from us, if I can, I don't want to step into it for the rest of my life."

"But I want revenge."

"Then learn swordsmanship. Believe me, that guy's swordsmanship is as high as I have ever seen in my life. This is a very rare opportunity. Grasp it, lucky boy."

Yoren picked up the flagon and said lazily.

"The lucky kid to watch his father be beheaded?"

Arya snorted coldly.

Yoren's hand froze.

"I'm sorry, child," Yoren said with a wry smile.

"It's okay," Arya shook her head, "I'm going to get used to this reality."

In order not to be easily captured by the enemy's words...

Yoren stared blankly at Arya's resolute little face.

Gods, she's only nine years old!

"Want to know why I wear black?" Yoren asked suddenly.

No.17章 八卦步

"What are you looking at?"

A childish voice came from behind.

Lin Yi turned his head and watched the thin figure walking towards him.

He raised his head again, looked at the sky and said with emotion: "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Arya also raised her head and glanced at the red comet in the sky that illuminated most of the sky—thanks to this thing, the convoy had to travel for two hours more every day.

"When it first appeared, people in the palace called it Comet Joffrey—of course, no one dares to call it that now." Lin Yi smiled.

"Gendry called it the Red Sword, because he said it looked like a fiery red sword fresh from the forge," Arya began.

"Oh really?" Lin Yirao said with interest, "I think this metaphor has more images than the teachings of the Seven Gods."

"In the teachings of the Faith of the Seven Gods, it is the sword that kills the seasons. The citizens of King's Landing call it the Red Messenger, also known as the Dragon Tail Star. Everyone thinks it has an extraordinary meaning, but in fact, it is just Just a red comet passing by Westeros."

"What is a comet?"

"A comet is a celestial body revolving around the sun. Its body is actually not in the sky, but outside our world..."

"So far?" Arya was surprised. "But he looks huge, and my father said that the sky is infinite."

"In a sense, that statement is indeed true."

"I still believe it symbolizes something..." Arya looked at the red sword in the sky. "It disturbs me."

"You really should be uneasy." Lin Yi looked at the red comet in the sky, "When the light of a comet is as bright as our eyes, it proves that it is not far away from us."

"Will it fall?"

"I don't know, but it's not something you should worry about."

"why?"

"Because when he falls, you will die of old age!"

"..."

Arya curled her lips, she thought Lin Yi was lying, there was nothing that would take decades to fall, even the bravest eagle couldn't do it.

"Yi... can I call you that?"

Arya looked at him, looking at him seriously.

"Anything, as long as you like."

With that said, Lin Yi put his hand on Arya's shoulder, squeezed it lightly, and then squeezed it down his arms.

Arya's face was a little reddish, but she remained motionless.

After pinching Arya's muscles, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems that your former teacher was an agile water dancer, and you have a good foundation."

"Of course! Syrio is the chief swordsman of Braavos!" Arya said as a matter of course.

Lin Yi remembered this chief swordsman. He defeated five soldiers with only one wooden sword, but facing Sir Marin who was fully armed, a wooden sword was useless even if it danced like a sword flower all over the sky.

It doesn't break defenses.

"Arya, you are very smart and have enough talent. To be honest, there are many Braavosi swordsmen who know the formula of the water dancer, but people like you who can truly comprehend the essence of the formula in a short time Very little."

"Of course, I can see that this is inseparable from your cherishing the opportunity to learn swordsmanship. People always cherish those hard-won things more. This is why I like you."

With that said, Lin Yi stretched his hand into his bosom.

"You're lucky, I'm about to go to the Great Wall to do what I'm supposed to do, but I don't know if I can come back from here, but those ghost things are about to wake up, there must be someone to stop them, right?"

"Are you afraid of those things too?"

Arya's eyes widened.

"There is no fearless person in this world, Arya." Lin Yi smiled, "The so-called courage is to be afraid but still be able to draw a sword."

Arya nodded, she remembered what Jon had said, the teacher's point of view was very similar to Jon's.

"So, I plan to find a smart and clever kid to pass on my swordsmanship. Congratulations, cute kid."

"But why me? Why not Gendry? He's a blacksmith's apprentice, tall and strong..."

Arya asked again.

"Hahaha……"

Hearing Arya's question, Lin Yi laughed twice, and instead of answering Arya's question, he reached out and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

"Okay, it's rare that you woke up so early with me today, take it."

Arya looked excited, and took the paper from Lin Yi's hand.

But at the moment when she saw the paper, Arya froze.

I saw a big circle drawn on it, and there was a square on the top of the circle. The square was divided into nine grids, and a square symbol was drawn on each grid, and there were complicated and entangled lines between the symbols.

"what is this?"

She raised her head dazedly.
