I practice ruthless way

Xiao Man did not return to Gushan.He went to the Jokhang Temple and lived in the small courtyard where he lived for a long time.But on the first day he came here, he suddenly discovered that this place was no longer as clean as before.

The endless stream of pilgrims is very noisy, the boys chatting and joking while sweeping is very noisy, and even the master in the temple opens the altar to give lectures, which is also noisy.

A few days later, Xiao Man left the Jokhang Temple.

After that, few people in the world could find his trace, only Qu Hanxing and Bie Beilou could send a message to contact him.

The lotus on Egret Continent in Guangling bloomed and withered, there were several storms in Shenjing City, there were more conferences and competitions in the practice world, young talents emerged, and many legends were added.

Year after year, Xiao Man never showed up.

Some people guessed that he had ascended to leave this world; appear before the world.

Such and such sayings are all written as stories, and some of them are written with a certain degree of truth, which is considered to be the truth by the people of the rivers and lakes.

In fact, Xiao Man didn't do any of these things, he just felt that the world was too noisy, so he chose to live in seclusion in a place where no one was around.Only Fuzhu was by his side, but gradually, Xiao Man found that the deer preferred lively places, mixed with laughter, so he sent him back to Gushan.

Going around, he was left alone again.

There's nothing wrong with that, you don't have to talk to people, you don't have to worry about your side, he builds a courtyard, sows flower seeds in spring, and sits on the porch in summer, reading scriptures and watching the rain.

The days passed very slowly, but sometimes they were extremely fast. When he came back to his senses, five years had passed like this. At the beginning of that winter day, the plum branches he casually inserted in front of the courtyard had grown into a pavilion.

Xiao Man received news from Qu Hanxing this year.

Qu Hanxing took over Xue Yifeng, but he was not very rational, he left all the chores to his junior brother Rong Yuan, became a hands-off shopkeeper, and ran out all day.This person has been looking for a way to transform Mo Juntian from a sword back into a human, but the result has been a pity.

As time went by, his sorrow gradually became less and less, he always said that Xiao Mo was just sleeping in the sword and was not willing to come out.

This time when Qu Hanxing wrote a letter to Xiao Man, the first letter exclaimed that the two of them had not seen each other for so many days and months, and the second piece of paper complained bitterly about how tiring being the peak master was, how many chores he had to deal with every day, a month How many meetings have I been to, running outside the mountain and inside the mountain, I almost feel like dancing with chickens every day.

Xiao Man glanced over blankly and turned to the third piece of paper.

On this piece of paper, Qu Hanxing said to Xiao Man that life is really ups and downs. Who would have thought that the happy days in the past are gone forever. Now the birthday is coming again, and one year older. Once, I hoped that Xiao Man could come to his birthday banquet and play together.

The purpose is just to drag Xiao Man out of the mountain.

Xiao Man didn't plan to go to the banquet after watching it, for the same reason, it was too noisy.

The letter did not end here, and there was another one at the back. From the ink, it can be seen that it was not written at the same time, but before that.

In the fourth letter, Qu Hanxing said, after the great war, Gushan took in many children who lost their parents, some of them had excellent roots, and among these excellent roots, there was another one who was very compatible with Xiao Man's temperament Xiao Man asked Xiao Man if he was interested in accepting an apprentice to play with.

Of course Xiao Man was not interested, he folded the letter and got up to water the flowers.

Day and night.

But Qu Hanxing did not give up on the idea of ​​La Xiaoman coming out to play. In the following years, letters followed one after another, talking about this scenery, talking about that place, and small gadgets were also sent in dozens to "seduce" ".

What really made Xiao Man decide to go back to Gushan was a letter two years later.Qu Hanxing said in the letter that he has found another way to get Mo Juntian out of the sword, this time there is a [-]% certainty, he thinks it is too low, and he wants to try to increase the probability to [-]% to [-]%. Xiao Man came to help.

It took Xiao Man half a day to return to Gushan.The restraints on Xueyi Peak were not changed, and when he sensed that it was him, he immediately opened and made way for him.

Not much has changed here, the population is still not happy, the birds perch on the branches at will, and if you look carefully, you can find cats hunting quietly in the dark.

Only beside Luoyue Lake is an extra Taoist hall, which is the residence of the current peak master.

Xiao Man was not polite and went straight over.

Qu Hanxing didn't expect him to come so fast, he greeted him with joy, and said with emotion: "Ah, brother Man, you are finally willing to come out! You have been in that place all these years, don't you think it is too boring? Hey , if you want me to say, you should go back..."

The man raised his hand while talking, Xiao Man calmly interrupted the long conversation he had just started: "What is the method you said?"

"Okay Brother Man, I know Brother Man, you don't think it's boring at all Brother Man these years." Qu Hanxing summed up the reminiscence of the stillborn, and then turned to lead the way, saying: "Go, this way, Xiao Mo Here, I will tell you when we arrive."

Qu Hanxing brought Xiao Man into a dark room, where a formation has been set up, and all the materials needed are complete, all of which are valuable and hard to come by, which is enough to see Qu Hanxing's concern for this matter .Right now there is only one dispatcher, and he explained the whole process to Xiao Man.After hearing this, Xiao Man felt that it was not difficult, nodded and said, "Then let's start."

"Brother Man, you are becoming more and more resolute." Qu Hanxing spread his hands, expressing emotion again, but did not refute, "Okay then let's start."

Then start the battle.

The two sat on one side of the formation, and as soon as their spiritual power came out, Jun Tianjian flew up from the ground, hung in the void, and turned slowly.

This array is slightly similar to the array of sacrificial vessels. After the operation, the materials placed on all sides began to move slowly, and the aura and spiritual power contained in it all flowed to the Juntian sword in the center of the array.

A bright and bright room.

The material was refined bit by bit by the Great Heaven Sword, this process was very slow, on the seventh day, the last piece of blackstone meteorite was finally exhausted.

The Juntian sword is in full bloom, dazzling and dazzling.

But after Huaguang was extinguished—this sword, apart from a huge improvement in its quality, remained unchanged.

The soul in the sword is still sleeping, without any sign of waking up.

They failed.

Qu Hanxing put the sword flat on his knee, with regret on his face.

He has had this result countless times, and at first he would feel sad and lost, but now he is... used to it.Sometimes, he would even think that Xiao Mo felt that being a human being was too tiring, so he wanted to be a sword.

"Are you going to let nature take its course, or continue to look for a way to wake it up?" Xiao Man sat beside Qu Hanxing and asked softly.

"You said, does he want to wake up?" Qu Hanxing asked in a low voice.

"I'm not him, so I don't know what he thinks." Xiao Man said.

"How many years have I been sleeping?" Qu Hanxing muttered, a little dissatisfied, and turned to Xiao Man, "Is there any other way?"

He hoped that Mo Juntian could wake up, even if he likes to sleep, if he opened his eyes and came back to look at their friends, wouldn't he be able to sleep again?

Hearing Qu Hanxing's question, Xiao Man twitched his brows slightly, and asked, "Did the Dark Pavilion send you any news?"

"Ah?" Qu Hanxing was startled, looked up and shook his head, "No."

"The dark pavilion has found two methods. One is on the way back from the end of spring. This is a secret realm located in the far west, and there is an opportunity to wake up the sleeping soul. Bring the sword in, and maybe you can wake up Xiao Mo." Xiao Mo Man told Qu Hanxing what he had found in the Dark Pavilion, "Second, after two years, there may be a magic weapon with the same effect in the sky and the sea."

Tianrong Haise is the largest auction house on Xuantian Continent.Qu Hanxing said without hesitation: "Then let's do it on both sides at the same time."

Xiao Man turned his head to look at him, and said in a serious tone, "Two years, you may not be able to come back from the broken spring."

Qu Hanxing cupped his hands to Xiao Man, and said with a smile: "If I didn't come out at that time, you can go to the sky and the sea for me, okay?"

"Yes." Xiao Man nodded without hesitation.

Qu Hanxing added: "If there is such a thing, no matter what the price is, I must take it." Xiao Man said yes again.

After the matter came to an end, Xiao Man got up and walked out of the dark room after speaking.

Qu Hanxing took the Juntian Sword and went back to the Dao Palace with Xiao Man.Seeing that he was planning to leave, Qu Hanxing changed his mind and asked in a drawn-out tone: "Brother Man, do you really have no plans to accept disciples?"

"Too noisy." Xiao Man simply refused.Over the years, he has grown disliking for vocals.

"I guarantee that this apprentice will be quiet!" Qu Hanxing put the sword in the sword stand on the side of the Taoist hall, and raised his hands to make an oath.

Xiao Man didn't look back at him.

Qu Hanxing followed behind him, and said again: "Now you live alone in Gumo Lanting - of course, I'm not saying that it's not good to live alone, but it's better to have someone by your side than when you want to talk, you can only talk to the bird." Bar?"

These words finally made Xiao Man stop, and turned his head to look at Qu Hanxing, and said, "Why don't you tell the bird?"

Qu Hanxing remembered that Xiao Man belonged to the winged family, realized that the words were offensive, and planned to change his words to say beasts, but then thought that his prototype was a white tiger with its head on all fours, and it would not work to express it with four-legged animals, so he held back a few breaths , corrected the wording and said: "Speak to Hua'er."

"..."

Xiao Man retracted his gaze with a slumped face, and continued walking.

They walked out of the temple.

It was summer time, the sun was scorching hot, the lake was shimmering, the sky was full of white clouds, and the cicadas were hiding in the hidden places of the trees, but they were screaming loudly.

Qu Hanxing grabbed Xiao Man's arm, dragged him to the lake pavilion, pressed his shoulders to make him sit down, and poured him a cup of tea brewed with lemon and kumquat.

He has completely inherited Yan Wushu's habits in eating and drinking, and he always likes to make some novelties and let Xiao Man try them.

Seeing that he had mixed a spoonful of honey into the pot, Xiao Man reluctantly took a sip.

"It's delicious. How can the things I make not taste good?" Qu Hanxing boasted, and then changed the topic, "The child and your temperament should be compatible. He always likes to be alone, and his talent is also good. Well, why don't you take a look first?"

Qu Hanxing mentioned this child to Xiao Manti many times in the letter, Xiao Man thought that it would be better to see him, so he refused in person, cut off the text, and said lightly: "Then have a look."

Hearing this, Qu Hanxing beamed with joy, and sent someone to bring the child to Luoyue Lake through a voice transmission with a flying sword.

The child is now at Xueyi Peak.He was born in the year when the Demon Buddha was in trouble, and he was too young, before Bai Hua Peak was able to recruit disciples, so he did some chores on this peak.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Rong Yuan came with someone, happily called "Your Highness", and led the child to the table.

This child is not as tall as Rong Yuan's waist, the clothes on his body are the same white as Xiao Man's, and his hair is as black as ebony. In terms of color, only the pupils of the two are different, Xiao Man's eyes are like black ink The ones are pitch black, and the children are a slightly darker silver-gray.

He has exquisite facial features, red lips and white teeth, if he smiles, he must be extremely well-behaved.But he didn't smile, and after saying hello and saluting, he stood there without saying a word.

Qu Hanxing winked at Xiao Man, meaning "Look, just like I said, be quiet and obedient".

Xiao Man was too lazy to sort out Qu Hanxing, glanced at the child and passed, picked up the porcelain cup, and took a sip slowly.

He didn't speak, and no one made a sound here, and the silence lasted for a quarter of an hour.Just when Qu Hanxing thought that Xiao Man was cold-handed and refused, and was about to ease the atmosphere, Xiao Man put down the porcelain cup, turned his head and asked the child:

"How old are you?"

"Seven years old." The child replied.

"Learn sword?"

"Ah."

"Why?"

"Good talent."

One person asks the other person answers, the same language is concise, and the same tone is flat.

Qu Hanxing couldn't judge Xiao Man's thoughts from Xiao Man's expression, because this person had no expression at all, so he couldn't help secretly worrying.But at the next moment, Xiao Man stood up, waved his sleeves, and said a word: "OK."

Then he said to Qu Hanxing, "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he really left, took the child along, flicked his sleeves lightly, stepped outside, and couldn't even see him, leaving Qu Hanxing sitting in the lake pavilion in a daze.

After being stunned, Qu Hanxing yelled in the direction he left: "Leave now? Don't you want a drink?"

Rong Yuan was also stunned, and asked Qu Hanxing: "Although we are all happy to have someone to accompany His Highness, I'm still very curious, why did he agree to accept Axuetu?"

Qu Hanxing's expression became serious, and he replied, "Of course only he knows."

Rong Yuan: "..."

Rong Yuan couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him.

Xiao Man seldom wields a sword, and always rides the wind. He grabbed A Xue and grabbed him by the collar, and spent half a day before returning to the Ancient Molan Pavilion.

The winding path leads to seclusion, deep leaves and flowers bloom in the secluded place, and the courtyard is elegant.

Without going through a complicated apprenticeship ceremony, Xiao Man asked A Xue's name, said his own name, let him choose a room in the yard, and then went to look after the flowers planted behind the house.

A Xue was very content with the situation, tidying up the new room, Xiao Man ignored him, and began to practice the few sword moves Rong Yuan taught him by himself.

About an hour later, the letter crow came south and flew around the courtyard, but did not find Xiao Man, and landed on the stone table, staring straight at the sword practicer with both eyes.

The child stopped, tilted his head to think for a moment, walked over, and took off the mailbox on his feet.

Letter Crow leaves, and Ah Xue finds Xiao Man in the south of the mountain.He sat on the tree, and Ashe was under the tree. After a salute, he raised the letter box and said, "There is a letter from you."

Xiao Man flicked his finger, and the letter box flew out of A Xue's hand and fell into his hand.It took a while after unpacking the letterbox before Xiao Man remembered and responded with an "um".

Then he said: "Let's put aside the sword skills first, you are still young, practice breathing and body skills first."

A Xue quickly said yes, and asked Xiao Man how to practice.

After Xiao Man finished speaking with A Xue, he continued to watch the letter.

He left from Gushan only when the crows in two places could enter his yard. Qu Hanxing would not bother him so soon, so this letter came from Medicine Valley.

Bie Beilou's book, I hope Xiao Man can help to pay attention to a kind of medicinal herb called "Yuexiafeng".

He also explained in the letter that a patient came to Medicine Valley, and his mind and soul were slightly dislocated. He had been lying in bed for many years, unable to move his whole body, and was in unspeakable pain.Yaogu used many kinds of medicines for this patient, but none of them worked. After thinking about it, maybe only Yue Xiafeng can cure him.

It was not difficult for Xiao Man to find the object. He told the matter to the dark pavilion and gave back to Bie Beilou.

Director (takes money) (shakes head and pats shoulders) (speaks earnestly): Young man, your efforts are not enough
