In summer, on a dark and windy night, Xi Sang stood at the door of the mourning hall, listening to the chirping of crickets and looking at the dim lights in the courtyard. The happy scenes of the family in the past flashed through his mind, and then he looked above his head now. A piece of plain white cloth, the coffin parked in the mourning hall, the brazier in front of the coffin, and the paper money beside the brazier made me feel sad. A cold air traveled through my limbs, and tears passed by the corners of my eyes.

"It's useless to think too much. It's better to work with the sword. Practice swordsmanship when you have time, and sleep when you are tired." Mao Lao's voice appeared next to her.

Xisang moved her hand smoothly, and Mao Lao's sword appeared in her hand. "Damn old man, I'm in a bad mood. Let's practice sparring for a while."

Without saying a word, Mao Lao pulled out the short knife from his waist and came towards him.

The strong wind made the leaves rustle, and the old man and the young man under the tree were blazing swords.There was a surge of anger in Xisang's sword, so it was very aggressive and sharp.

This half month of training was not in vain.At this moment, Mao Lao was holding a short sword in his hand, and Xi Sang was holding a long sword. Mao Lao was having some difficulty holding her long sword.Mr. Mao was surprised. No wonder the little girl insisted on changing me to a short knife that day. The difference in length was so huge.Also, a martial arts contest is not as good as killing someone, and you can't use your mind wrongly. He naturally gained the upper hand through divination.

The little girl's sword today seems not to be a sword, but like a savage beast, and her moves are fierce. She really doesn't show mercy at all. If someone who doesn't know sees the battle between the two of them at this time, they will think that they have something. What a grudge.It can be seen that the girl has been holding in a lot of anger these past few days. It would be better to let it out now to save herself from holding it back.Mr. Mao thought.

Just as he lost consciousness, the sleeve of Mr. Mao's right arm was pierced by a long sword. He immediately came to his senses, raised the sword back, and shouted: "The old man can't hold on anymore, can't hold on anymore, no." Fight, don’t fight.”

Only then did Xisang wrap her arms around her sword and put away her sword. Beads of sweat were already covering her head, but she suddenly felt content in her heart.She had figured it out a long time ago. She found her father's body first, and she couldn't let him dump it in the wilderness.It's just that I have been too depressed these past few days, but now it's good, it's all released, and the thoughts in my mind are much clearer. It seems that proper relaxation is essential, otherwise a string will break if it collapses for a long time.Now if you want to know what happened on the battlefield, you need to ask the person who sent the message.

Xisang exhaled and said, "Thank you, old man."

The corners of Mao Lao's mouth raised, showing a stiff smile. (The reason why he hasn’t smiled for many years) Then he remembered that when he left the school and saw Nie Liang climbing over the wall, he couldn’t help frowning and said to Xisang: "Does Nie Liang still have evil intentions towards you?"

Xisang looked at Mr. Mao as if he were a strange creature and said, "When did I say that he had evil intentions towards me?"

"Didn't you say that he often helps you? I heard from Shadow that he often looks at you in a daze and behaves ambiguously. Isn't it because he has evil intentions?"

Xisang said: "Damn old man, your brain circuit is really weird. His actions can only prove that he is interested in me, or that he likes me. What does it have to do with being evil? He has not done anything inappropriate to me. The thing is, it’s Nie Chongcai who has always had evil intentions towards me.”

"I saw him sneaking out, so I guessed that he must be here."

"Well, he was considerate. He kowtowed to my father, burned incense, and reminded me to be wary of Nie Chong. My relationship with him was completely brotherly, and I had rejected him a long time ago. But you promise me, If he becomes a king in the future, you should do your best to assist him. Of course, on the basis of your own duties, if he makes any principled mistakes, you should still treat him in your own way."

Mr. Mao nodded and said, "I would have done this even if you didn't tell me. He is indeed a good boy, much better than Pisa Chong."

"Let's not talk about others, let's talk about business. Maybe you can find out the residence of the person who uploaded the news to the court that day? He shouldn't have left the royal city yet, right?"

"I knew you didn't want to give up. I sent someone to check, and the man hasn't left yet, but he doesn't seem to be going to the battlefield anymore."

"Let's go explore tonight."

"Can you handle it on your own? If you can handle it, I won't go."

"You don't have to follow me if you're not afraid of losing your incense."

"You kid...are really better than your mother..." After saying this, Mr. Mao was startled and his face turned pale.

"Old man, let's go. Let your people lead the way." Xisang changed the subject.She knew that perhaps the death of his biological mother was the biggest punishment for him.There is really no need for her to argue with him. He is already old. She should be grateful that he can treat her like this and teach her swordsmanship.

"As soon as the shadow comes out." Mr. Mao said to the air.

"Whoosh" A person appeared out of thin air.

"Damn old man, you said it's true that you train people and employ them, but you don't even bother to give them a decent name. If he gets married later, how do you ask him to call his wife by his own name? But this The skill of appearing and disappearing is quite good, you will teach it to me some other day."

"This movement is not difficult. I will teach you tomorrow night."

"But how come this Shadow One is so similar to King Nie's shadow guard? Even the movement skills are similar. Don't tell me that you trained the shadow guard next to King Nie."

"It should be said that it was him who asked me to practice those shadow guards that made Shadow what I am today. I never thought about forming my own shadow guards before. I have always been in awe of the king, but since the people I love passed away one by one, I have The idea of ​​forming your own team, thinking of using them to protect your mother, but who knows..." At this point, Mao Lao fell into sadness again.

Xisang had to change the topic once and said: "I have always been curious about what made the Four Saints obey King Nie's words. If one day, King Nie orders you to kill me, will you do it? If I want to leave the human race Will you leave with me?"

"No way. I won't do anything to you, and I won't leave with you. I can't get out." Mao Lao shook his head.

"What do you mean you can't get out? Damn old man, you are my relative after all. Although I hate you, I still have to respect you." Xisang looked at the white-haired old man in front of him and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"It was your grandma who gave birth to your mother. I rarely came home when I was young, and I didn't have much kindness towards your mother. Even...so you don't have to worry about it. Now I just feel sorry for your daughter. I don’t need you to be filial."

"Damn old man, what are you thinking? Do you think I want to provide for you in old age? I'm just afraid that without you, I will get hurt. Oh! The rocks in the pit are really smelly and hard. Be careful and leave one day. No one will collect the body for you." Xisang was just saying angry words at this moment.

Some people say not to say harsh words to your loved ones. You never know whether that sentence may be a curse, just like Pandora's box.At this moment, Xisang never thought that what he said today would become a prophecy in the future.

After finishing speaking, he covered himself with a face scarf, changed into black clothes, let his shadow lead the way, and followed closely behind Mao Lao, using Qinggong, he headed towards a house in the city.
