Folding the halberd to seal the cold

Xiushui Lingshan hides the sword trace, regardless of the rivers and lakes cast Qingfeng.Everyone knows that the Tibetan Sword Villa, which is located by the West Lake in Hangzhou, is a well-known martial art school in the Jianghu.So Ye Chen and Ye Feng were held hands by their father. When they first walked into Hidden Sword Villa, the little Ye Chen looked at the magnificent building in front of him, and his heart was full of tension and awe.

"Xiaochen, Feng'er, from now on, Hidden Sword Villa will be your other home. You should cherish the opportunity, learn your skills here, and obey your master's instructions in everything, you understand?"

It was his father who gently stroked the top of his head and handed him over to Master Ye Qiuchi, which was regarded as sending them to the Hidden Sword Villa.

Ye Chen was still young at that time, although he received the sword from his master, he still didn't understand the meaning of the two swords behind him.All he knew was that the pair of swords, one light and one heavy, were so heavy that it was hard to lift them even though the master specially made them according to their stature. Ye Chen suffered a lot.

He didn't understand why the master treated them so strictly, and didn't ask them to use wooden swords instead like other martial arts masters.Just practicing with the heavy sword on his back every day is enough to exhaust him.Ye Chen felt that it was hard work, so he resorted to the clever and coquettish method at home to beg the master, but in exchange the master said coldly: "As a Tibetan sword disciple, if you can't even hold two iron swords, let alone Learn some sword skills, let's go home as soon as possible!"

Ye Chen has been cute and cute since he was born, and he was held in the palm of his hand and cared for at home. He has never been harshly spoken by someone close to him, so he couldn't help but sit on the ferry at the gate of the villa. Taking Master's words seriously, he stared blankly at the passing boats, not knowing which one his father came to pick him up.

In fact, he didn't want to leave. The child's angry nature was just hoping to win more attention.He just hoped that Master could let go of his stern face, even if he coaxed him, but unfortunately, Master seemed to see through his purpose. Not only did he make people ignore him, but even his elder brother tried to persuade him to eat but failed. called back.

Sitting like this for a long time, the grievance in Ye Chen's heart became more serious, until someone patted his shoulder lightly.Ye Chen thought it was his elder brother, so he sniffed his nose and wiped away the few tears that accidentally rolled down without looking back: "I told you that Xiao Chen is not hungry!"

Unfortunately, the hunger of the body did not want to support his bones. After saying this sentence, his stomach grumbled inappropriately.

Before Ye Chen blushed to defend himself, there was a sigh above his head that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"Since you are so stubborn, why did you enter my hidden sword in the first place?"

Ye Chen raised his head curiously when he heard a voice that wasn't his brother's, but saw a young man in a bright yellow solemn robe standing beside him at some point... What was incompatible with his handsome face was that he was tied up all over his head. white hair.

At that time, Ye Chen, who was just getting started and had never met the owner of the villa, didn't know that this person was Ye Ying, the owner of the villa who was famous all over the world and famous in martial arts.

He was suddenly stopped by this esoteric question, with tears in his eyes, he said after a while, "...for...to learn swordsmanship."

"Then why do you want to learn swords?"

"...Because...Because I want to become very powerful, and I want to protect the people around me!"

"If you can't even hold the sword in your hand, how can you protect others?"

Ye Chen was stopped by the question, his face flushed, but he hesitated and couldn't answer anymore.

After a while, the white-haired young man smiled and asked again: "So, have you thought about whether you want to give up?"

Ye Chen hugged the two swords in his arms almost without thinking, frowned and shook his head stubbornly: "No!"

Only now did he understand that he came to Hidden Sword Villa to study art with his father's entrustment and hope, how could he give up lightly.

"Since you don't want to give up, let's set the goal of practicing swordsmanship. As a disciple of Tibetan swords, you must understand the meaning of these two swords behind you. Once you pick them up, don't let them go easily. If you want to practice To learn the supreme sword art, one must endure hardships that ordinary people cannot bear. Therefore, if one wants to understand the way of swordsmanship, one must first understand the ways of the world. No matter how hard it is in the future, I hope you can persevere and never give up."

"Every year, different disciples hold swords and come to my Hidden Sword Villa. No matter what the reason for your apprenticeship is, I hope that you will live up to your original intentions and become the glory of Hidden Sword."

The young man stroked the top of his head, and after saying the last sentence, he turned and left.

The figure of his long robe sweeping the ground looks elegant and solemn, but also looks extraordinarily cold and lonely, just like that, gradually drifting away in the deep shadow of trees beside the West Lake.

Although the young Ye Chen was ignorant and did not understand the meaning of his words, but there was boundless hope and courage in his heart, and suddenly he wanted to be like that person... want to be, like him.

Since then, Ye Chen has completely faded away from the coddled air he had when he first came. Not only did he not mention the matter of changing the sword, but he also practiced more diligently every day. Among the young disciples, except for his elder brother Ye Feng, He was the first to learn the basic swordsmanship of Hidden Sword Villa, and finally got the master's nodding and appreciative gaze.

Until this time, the master led the two of them to the front of Tianze Tower to meet the big villa owner who was only heard of in the legend.Ye Chen was very excited, because Tianzelou had always been guarded by guard disciples, and because the owner of the villa didn't like to be disturbed, ordinary disciples couldn't enter at will if they had nothing to do.

However, when he really saw Ye Ying, the master of the village who was like a god in the hearts of the sword disciples, Ye Chen was surprised to find that he was the white-haired young man who persuaded him by the West Lake that day.

The flower tree in front of Tianze Tower seems to have experienced many years. Kazuki's flourishing petals fluttered with the breeze from time to time, scattered in his hair, as silently as if falling on fine snow.Ye Ying just sat there quietly, with her eyes slightly closed, although she couldn't see the bright world, she seemed to be waiting for their arrival, with a faint smile on her lips: "You guys coming."

It was only at this time that Ye Chen realized the meaning of the words that the big villa owner patiently persuaded him that day.From the moment he first arrived in Zangjian, he knew that Ye Ying, the master of the village, was always the most admired person by the young disciples. He once retreated alone in the sword mound, watching the cold, heat, prosperity and decline for several years, and walked such a lonely way of practicing swordsmanship. Only then did he finally comprehend the Supreme Heart Sword.Everyone praises him as a martial arts prodigy and the greatest glory of Hidden Sword Villa, but Ye Chen only pities him for the sake of Hidden Sword, although he has comprehended the supreme way of swordsmanship, but his eyes are blind, and he has fallen into eternal darkness ever since.

Xiao Yechen still doesn't understand how great the Supreme Heart Sword is, he just feels that it's lonely to never see this interesting world again.

When he was thinking like this, he blurted out unconsciously, and felt it was wrong when the words rushed out. Unexpectedly, Ye Ying just froze for a moment, then shook her head indifferently, and patiently said to him: "In this world, getting and giving It must be like a shadow, guarding the hidden sword is what I want, so I don’t regret it, and it’s not a pity to sacrifice a pair of eyes for this.”

Perhaps infected by such words, Ye Chen firmly clenched the sword in his hand, only at that moment did he feel the glory and pride of being a disciple of Hidden Sword.Because there is such a villa owner, guarding the hidden sword is like a huge belief, which taught him that only by putting in all his efforts can he protect what he wants to protect like the villa owner.

In life, there will always be one thing that you want to do with all your strength.From then on, practicing swordsmanship and becoming a person like the master of the villa is Ye Chen's highest goal.
