[Comprehensive] The Journey of the Protagonist

The point of the sword rested in Xiao Yu'er's throat, and the cold sharp edge aroused the fine hairs on his skin, causing many goosebumps, giving him the illusion that he was about to be pierced.

"...It's you." The man in white, that is, Su Xuan, gave him a fixed look, and put his sword back into its sheath.

Xiao Yu'er, whose breath was choked in his chest and couldn't get it out, was angrily, and he said in a strange way: "Is there anyone else besides me?"

Su Xuan glanced at him, but didn't reply.

Ahhh, it feels like this little bastard will be more difficult to deal with when he grows up, what's the matter?Xiao Yu'er was pulling her hair with both hands in her heart.

Seeing that Su Xuan had changed back to his previous appearance, he gritted his teeth in secret, and couldn't help but leaned over to him with a playful smile and said, "Hey, how have you been these years, how did you turn yourself into this picture of ice?" Come and talk to me?"

Su Xuan looked at the mirror under his feet with no expression, standing alone and lonely, as if he could grow old here alone.But Xiao Yu'er was not shocked at all by this attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, he was simply entangled like the most naughty rascal in the world: "Tell me~ we haven't seen each other for more than ten years Don't you think about me?"

Xiao Yu'er felt wronged, the little friend who hadn't seen each other for so many years, wanted to give him a sword as soon as he came up, although the sword still didn't go through, but the fright he received was enough to make him go back and eat a few more The fish was overwhelmed by himself!

"Talk to me~" If he could, he could simply roll back and forth on the mirror, as long as he did this, the ice cube in front of him could return to its original silly, white and sweet appearance!

"It's so noisy." As Su Xuan said, he stretched out his hand and put the sheathed sword in his hand on Xiao Yu'er's right shoulder. With a little force on his palm, Xiao Yu'er sat down and looked up. Looking at him, he rubbed the fish's hairy head.

"What could be the matter?" Su Xuan raised his eyes and said calmly, "It's just... practicing sword day after day."

"You have held your broken sword like this for more than ten years?" Xiao Yuer's eyes widened, unable to believe it.

"Shh~" Su Xuan stretched out his index finger to his lips, and said with a light smile, "Don't speak ill of it, or I'll be angry!"

Xiao Yu'er gritted his teeth, rolled his eyeballs, cautiously approached and questioned, "You just stabbed me with a sword!"

Su Xuan looked up at him with a half-smile and then said slowly, "Do you know how to play chess?"

"Playing chess?" Xiao Yu'er asked, "I've heard of it."

"Playing chess is a game between two people. The most important thing in this game is to find an opponent who is equal to you." Su Xuan said: "But when you are alone, there is another way to play chess. .”

"One person plays two roles, and he plays chess with himself." Su Xuan held the sword in his hand, with a focused and sincere expression, with a kind of resolute purity: "Wouldn't sword fighting be the most chess-like battle?"

"If there is no opponent, I will create an opponent." He lowered his arm, looked forward, with a distant sense of melancholy: "And here is my battlefield, as long as I want, another one can appear at any time." My incarnation, he may not have clear eyebrows, but he must have all the swords that I know."

"When I stand in his position, I will rack my brains to decipher my own swordsmanship, but when I return to myself, I will make up for this defect." Su Xuan's tone was calm, and he said These rather frightening words seemed to be the simplest thing anyone could do.

"And now, I just want to make my sword faster, faster." Su Xuan said.

"So you were practicing swords at that time, but you just regarded me as your next opponent?" Xiao Yu'er said in a muffled voice, "...Why do you push yourself so hard?"

Su Xuan looked at him quietly, and chuckled lightly: "You and my second master are really similar, you both said the same thing to me."

"So I can repeat the same answer to you." His eyes were as soft as clear water, and his words were softer than ever: "Because I have already regarded it as my life's desire."

When he uttered such a sentence, Xiao Yu'er already knew that there was no one person or thing in this world that could shake his rock-solid determination, and he had already embarked on an unknown journey. Lonely, and what a lonely road, on this distant road with no end in sight, he has already left all the people in the world, whether it is the people in Yihua Palace, or himself who only had a wonderful meeting with him once. .

This made Xiao Yu'er's heart feel like soaking in sour warm water. He was not only happy that his friend had found a goal that he could fight for his whole life, but also that he was already so strong. No one can easily hurt him, but at the same time, he also has great worries about the loneliness and loneliness that will inevitably follow him on this road.

This made his uncontrollable heart shrink quietly, and inexplicable emotions welled up in his heart in an instant. He wanted to slap himself hard, and scolded himself, you even have mediocre martial arts Half-hearted, when someone stabs you with a sword, you can't even move, but now you think so much about others beyond your control, it's really a panic!

He thought for a while, and felt that he should pay more attention to what was in front of him. Before the person in front of him was aware of the hatred between Yihua Palace and himself, he might be able to get some useful information from him.Otherwise, if you really face to face duel with this guy, let him be a hundred times smarter, and others can kill you with just a single sword, then you will really die unjustly!

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Yu'er felt that his fate was really hard, and he had such a bastard enemy that he couldn't beat and didn't want to fight. He glanced at Su Xuan in his heart, and his face became even brighter: " It seems that your second master also loves you very much... I have often heard of the great prestige of the two palace masters of Yihua Palace in Jianghu, and I don't know how powerful their martial arts are?"

He stood up and pretended to admire, but soon began to worry again: "But the stronger the strength, the more powerful the enemy will be. I don't know if your second master has told you that when you walk out of the mobile Huagong, is there anyone who needs special attention when entering the rivers and lakes?"

He scratched his face embarrassingly: "Well... I just left home too, and I don't know much about this world... I'm worried that I might accidentally provoke an enemy that even you can't afford to offend."

You mean, anyway, you have me watching, so as long as I can deal with the enemies, you can go casually?Su Xuan tilted his head, thinking that he must have misunderstood the meaning of this sentence, Xiao Yu'er, who is not afraid of the sky, probably seldom shows weakness, and his methods are really clumsy?Or is this a way for him to lick his face and get close to him?

Su Xuan lowered his eyes, and replied flatly: "No, she said that those who offended me in Yihua Palace are all dead."

Xiao Yu'er's smile froze for a moment.

"However, there are still people who need special attention." When Su Xuan said that name, his eyes were unprecedentedly bright: "Yan, Nan, Tian!"

"Although he has been missing for more than ten years," Su Xuan said, "his reputation can shock the entire Jianghu until now. According to legends in the Jianghu, he is a hero worthy of heaven and earth. He has never done anything against chivalry...but that is not what I care about, what I value is that he is a swordsman known as 'the best sword in the world'!"

Xiao Yuer was thoughtful, that uncle was so powerful in the past...

"In addition, she also told me to go to the rivers and lakes and kill a young man named Jiang Xiaoyu." Su Xuan casually mentioned as if he just remembered.

The little fish fell to the ground with a "slap".

He got up extremely quickly, cleaned up his gaffe quite quickly, and complained as if nothing happened: "The surface of this lake is too slippery...Who were you talking about just now?"

Su Xuan looked at him silently: "Jiang Xiaoyu."

"Who is this person?" Xiao Yu'er asked in surprise, he rubbed his chin: "I've never heard of it... What heinous things did he do? Burning, killing, looting, raping|sexualizing?"

"I don't know." Su Xuan said lightly.

"You can't do that." Xiao Yu'er frowned and said, "If this Jiang Xiaoyu is a handsome young man who helps the weak, helps the poor, helps the public, is chivalrous, and can draw his sword to help when the road is injustice, how can you do this?" Wouldn't it be wrong to kill a good person?"

He secretly decided in his heart that he would go to the rivers and lakes to spread money after he went back, and he could ignore everything, and wait for him to earn a good reputation first.

"Do you still remember what I said to you when we met last time?" Xiao Yu'er said earnestly, "Even your two masters will be deceived and misunderstood. Possibility, as the saying goes, you can't see Mount Tai, and even you admit that you don't understand this person, so how can you just kill him like this?"

"If you don't understand anything and just go ahead and kill the future heroes of the Jianghu, won't it be too late to regret it later?" Xiao Yu'er worried about you.

"So I will hold back a little bit before confirming this point, and only contribute five points. If he can't even take this, I don't think he has the possibility to grow into a hero." Su Xuan said quietly, the words With a little indifference.

"No no!" Xiao Yu'er hurriedly said, "You really don't recognize your own strength! It's too modest for you to underestimate yourself like this. You must know that not everyone in the Jianghu has such a secret like you Peak swordsmanship, as a devout swordsman, isn't it the greatest insult to the sword in your hand that you look down on yourself so much? You have to believe that with your current strength, when Yan Nantian didn't come out of the rivers and lakes, no one would have I can stop you... So, three points!" He raised three fingers: "As long as you exert three points of strength, I guarantee that you can scare that shit Jiang Xiaoyu to the point where he won't even dare to show his face!"

"Is that so..." Su Xuan pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "I really don't know much about this Jianghu. Since you said that, it must be like this."

The relieved little fish hadn't completely let go when he heard Su Xuan continue to say: "I hope that Jiang Xiaoyu can tell me why the master of the palace master wants me to kill him, otherwise, the one who released the water will die." Too many times, I can't hide it..."

Xiao Yu'er was awakened by waves of heat in such a hopeless state of mind. He touched his sweaty forehead and muttered, "What a terrible nightmare, hahaha..."
