Sealing Sword

At night, the sky is covered with ink, and the heavy rain is pouring down. There are rare people in the streets and alleys of Guyang City, and every house is closed.

In the backyard of Broken Water Villa, the sound of hacking continued. There was a ten-year-old boy in black bunt, with jerky and complicated footwork, holding a wooden knife that was too big for him, constantly hacking at a stone pillar that was one person tall. .

His immature face was condensed, even though his whole body was soaked, his tiger's mouth was reddened by the force, and he continued to swing the knife methodically.The stone pillars are densely covered with shallow white marks, and in some places, cracks like spider silk have appeared.

The man standing on the porch was wearing a cloak trimmed with fox fur. He watched the boy practice the knife in the rain coldly. He suddenly raised his hand, and a walnut passed through the rain and hit the child's wrist holding the knife.The boy's hand trembled from his beating, and he couldn't hold the knife through the already cracked tiger's mouth. The wooden knife came out of his hand, his eyelashes trembled, and he bent down to pick it up, but unexpectedly, another walnut hit his knee , the whole person was about to fall down, but fortunately he supported the floor with one hand, so that he could not hang on the ground.

The man in the hallway said coldly, "Come in."

The boy carried the wooden knife on his back, wet like a water monkey that just climbed ashore from the river.He stood in front of the man and called out politely: "Father."

"Xie Li, I've told you many times... Those who practice martial arts are most afraid of lack of energy in their hands and unstable footwork. You have practiced for three years, but you haven't made any progress at all. It's a shame!" Nai He had a sick look on his face and coughed a few times from time to time. He was only over [-] years old, but there was an old and dead look in his brows.

This is the owner of Broken Water Villa, Xie Wuyi.

Xie Wuyi's wife died of illness two years ago, leaving only a son like Xie Li under her knees. It stands to reason that this "meat" should be regarded as the jewel in the palm of his heart, but in reality, this "meat" should be the scraps sold cheaply by the butcher. "It's also a bad product that the pawnbrokers accepted blindly.

Getting up earlier than chickens in the morning, and going to bed later than dogs at night, the four words of practicing calligraphy and martial arts almost became a mountain that could not be shaken off the child's head. The early years were fine, but the past two years have lived like suffering.Since the accident, Xie Wuyi's personality has become moody, and he treats this son even more harshly. Sometimes even the servants in the village can't stand it, but whether the master's children are good or bad, how can they let them talk?

Xie Li swallowed the words that came to his lips, silently like a toad with a low dantian.Xie Wuyi reprimanded him a few more words, then flicked his sleeves and left with disgust and impatience on his face.

When he was gone, Xie Li raised his right hand, saw the bruised walnut print on his wrist, felt that his wrist was still hurting and trembling, and rubbed it silently, without saying a word, full of grievances.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Xue Chanyi wiped his face with a brocade handkerchief, and sighed, "Have you been scolded again?"

Xie Li was as silent as a muffled gourd, but someone behind Xue Chanyi answered, "Poor thing, your master is not very humane."

The child's face turned pale, and only then did he realize that Xue Chanyi had brought a stranger.This person is wearing a sky-blue arrow-sleeve long dress, with an indigo brocade belt tied around his palm-wide waistband, black hair shawl, and picturesque eyebrows and eyes. He looks about the same age and stature as Xie Wuyi, only seven points less Withered, three points more free and easy.

Ye Fusheng tidied himself up to look like a dog half an hour ago, and then entered the Broken Water Villa with ease, followed Miss Xue with a three-inch tongue and a seven-foot shame, looking left and right, and was about to go When eating some supper in the dining room, Xue Chanyi heard that her master was reprimanding her younger brother again, so she rushed over in a hurry, her heart was so distressed that even her pretty face was full of evil spirits, but it was her master, Xue Chanyi, who beat the person No matter what, he couldn't use the whip to whip him over, so he could only sigh and massage Xie Li to loosen the blood.

Miss Xue is only sixteen years old, but she is already a well-known nightshade woman in Guyang City. Over the years, few people know that she has such a "feminine" side.Ye Fusheng looked at it strangely, and felt that the child's stubborn temper was quite funny, so he made a joke, but Xie Li suddenly put on a coffin face that was in line with his father, and said seriously: "The Broken Water Villa does not allow outsiders Step foot, who are you? How dare you speak rudely to the owner of the villa!"

Yahe!Ye Fusheng narrowed his eyes with a smile, bent down and looked at him at the same level, and said, "I am the newcomer who was invited back by your big sister Xue."

Xie Li: "..."

Xue Chanyi gritted her teeth: "Ye Fusheng! What the hell are you talking about?"

"Well, there are no eight-carrying sedan chairs, but the newcomers are real." Ye Fusheng waved his hand, and there was a small oil paper bag in his palm, which contained neatly cut candies.

A piece of candy was caught off guard and thrown into Xue Chanyi's mouth. The strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus filled his mouth, and he choked back the cursing that was about to come out. "Miss, don't blame me, I apologize. This sweet-scented osmanthus candy is freshly made, eat a sweet mouth, don't get angry and scold, dirty the mouth of the lady."

Xue Chanyi bit an osmanthus candy into a crackling sound, as if chewing someone's bone, but her ears gradually turned red.Xie Li was stunned as he watched, his little head had never been full of romance, and now he was filled with sweet words, it was really hard to heal.

He opened his mouth slightly, and Ye Fusheng took the opportunity to stuff one in. The spicy and sweet aroma exploded in his mouth, and Xie Li's face suddenly turned red. Unfortunately, his good upbringing made him resist the desire to spit it out, and chewed it hard. Swallowing it down, the mist in the eye sockets was hazy, looking very pitiful.

Xue Chanyi: "... What did you feed him?"

"Candy." Ye Fusheng's face was upright, and he added: "Jiang Tang, you see he has been drenched in the rain for so long, how can he not eat some ginger candy to dispel the wind and cold?"

Xue Chanyi sighed in frustration, touched Xie Li's head, lowered his head and said to him: "Xiao Li, you go back to your room to take a shower and change clothes, I have something to say to this guy."

Xie Li took a breath to dilute the sweet and spicy taste in his mouth, and said with a straight face: "Who is he?"

"It's my newly hired nursing home, don't worry."

Xie Li then ran away with small steps, Ye Fusheng squinted his eyes and watched him go, sighed: "He is a good boy, but he is a bit old-fashioned."

"Master has always been strict with him." Xue Chanyi twitched his brows and said, "I have already told the steward that as long as you don't violate discipline and make trouble, you can act freely in the villa without depending on anyone's face."

"Miss, what should I do?"

Xue Chanyi looked up at him: "I'll help you take care of these, and you take care of Xiaoli for me."

Ye Fusheng asked: "The young owner of Duanshui Villa still needs the care of a prodigal son like me?"

Not to mention the guarding disciples in the village, just because Xie Wuyi is there, can't he still protect his own son?

If this is the case, then the first knife in the world... really should be replaced.

Xue Chanyi didn't answer and asked instead: "Did you notice anything when you entered the city today?"

"I saw a lot of people, people from the rivers and lakes." Ye Fusheng laughed, and he had an osmanthus candy in his mouth. A mistress, let him spare me a firewood room to boil water for bathing."

Xue Chanyi sneered when she heard the words: "You are pressing harder and harder, it really is a maggot on the tarsus, it is annoying!"

Ye Fusheng ate the rest of the candy in one gulp, speaking inarticulately: "Are you coming for the villa, or... thank you, the owner?"

Xue Chanyi's voice was cold: "It's for the 'world's best sword'."

Ye Fusheng chewed his mouth full of candy, but didn't say a word.

Xue Chanyi took a deep breath and said, "Have you ever heard of 'Li Feng'?"

Ye Fusheng said slowly: "If you're talking about Li Feng from Mizong Ridge Burial Soul Palace, then I've heard of it."

Since ancient times, righteousness and evil have not coexisted. There are four major sects of the righteous way, and the evil sects are not too far behind.In the southwestern border, there is a deep valley stretching for hundreds of miles. The terrain is complex and the miasma is lingering. palace.

The Burial Soul Palace is like a small river and lake. Apart from those martial arts people who have deviated from the sect or committed heinous crimes, it also accommodates some aliens who lost their homes and countries in the war, and there are even many descendants of criminal officials who lost power in the court and were convicted. Ninth class people have everything that one expects to find, it can be described as a mixed bag of dragons and snakes.Once they entered the Palace of Burying Souls, they would be like snakes, insects, rats and ants jumping into the mud, dormant in the swamp to spy on the world, but cut off the past, and from then on they would only be dogs in the Palace of Burying Souls.

Dogs naturally don't have names, and those who can call out names are all vicious dogs that are valued by their owners.

Li Feng, 25 years old at the time, was in charge of the Azure Dragon Hall of the Burial Soul Palace. He was an orphan adopted by the owner of the Burial Soul Palace in the early years, and he is also one of his most powerful men. Ruthless wolf.

Xue Chanyi's lips pursed: "The Burial Soul Palace has been active in the southwestern border for generations. Although it has power in the Central Plains, it has never caused troubles. In the past two years, with the frequent occurrence of foreign wars, the Burial Soul Palace has been further strengthened. Expansion, and now it has begun to shift its focus to the Central Plains."

"The martial arts forces in the Central Plains are complex, and there are countless bad debts between the good and the evil. If Burial Soul Palace makes a rash move, it may affect the whole body, so they need to kill the chicken... Ah bah, kill a thousand people." Ye Fusheng lightly Coughing twice, he hammered his painful and numb right leg, shook his head, "Duanshui Mountain Villa is a big family in the Central Plains martial arts, and Master Xie is also famous as the world's number one knife in the world, it stands to reason that it is a tough piece Hard bone, unfortunately..."

Xue Chanyi said coldly: "It's a pity that after the incident three years ago, the whole Jianghu felt that my master was abolished, and the number one knife in the world is now just a vain name. This time, the Buried Soul Palace launched a competition to win seven of the Central Plains Righteous Way Famous strikers are famous, and water cutting is the fifth."

Ye Fusheng asked: "So the so-called Jianghu rumors, are they true, or are they groundless?"

Xue Chanyi did not speak, but stared at him with a pair of eyes, and said after a while: "Ye Fusheng, you are a smart person, and you are also a sensible person."

It is really a puddle of muddy water, Ye Fusheng sighed, and said: "The kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring, I thank Miss Xue for her trust, and I will definitely live up to my trust."

"Since you promised me, you must do it." Xue Chanyi raised her chin, showing her usual arrogance, her eyes were cold and stern, not like a big girl, but more penetrating than a poisonous snake, "Little If something happens to you, even if you get into the ground, I will dig up the graves of your [-]th generation ancestors and crush your bones to ashes!"

——"You must do what you promised me, otherwise I will die with regret."

The two voices merged into one line, piercing into Ye Fusheng's heart like a sharp sword, buzzing in his head, everything in front of his eyes began to shake and blur again, until it became a chaos, his right leg hurt like a heart, his face turned pale instantly , Subconsciously pressed the chest, where the kit and jade pendant were placed.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing something was wrong, Xue Chanyi stretched out her hand to help him, who would have thought that this apprentice was in a daze, and touched her waist in a daze, Miss Xue's almond-shaped eyes froze, and she was in suspense. He threw it on the ground.

However, the culprit still had a pure and innocent face, as if he was dying of illness and was about to vomit blood: "Cough, cough... I'm sorry, I can't see clearly."

Xue Chanyi gritted his teeth and said: "The battle for the front will start in seven days. People from various factions will definitely come to Guyang City in the past few days. Naturally, Duanshui Villa cannot thank guests behind closed doors. Since you are half blind, since your eyes are not good , just follow Xiaoli and never let go, and don't make troubles everywhere, so as not to bump into people you can't afford."

After hearing this, Ye Fusheng yawned, spread his hands and said, "Since that's the case, Miss, please take me to the courtyard of the young master. It's been a long night, and I'm sleepy."

Miss Xue felt a little itchy, and the whip around her waist was about to move.

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, probably a carriage stopped at the front door.

Such a late hour, such a cusp place.

Xue Chanyi ordered a servant to take him to the backyard, and hurried to the front door to meet the guests.Ye Fusheng squinted his eyes, luckily he would pass a long corridor when he entered the inner courtyard, he looked back through the lights under the eaves, and saw Xue Chanyi hurried past a group of people, the leader was putting away the paper umbrella Up, just revealing the description.

He looked very young, but he lacked the aggressiveness and stupidity of a boy with a hairy head. He was dressed in black and his face was too pale. A bloody throat knife.
