break.

Tao Mo was taken aback for a moment. He looked at the sword in his hand that had accompanied him for many years in shock, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Seeing his appearance, Tantaiying sighed: "Brother Tao, I know that sword means a lot to you, but if you use it wrongly, it will break. As a swordsman, choose a sword Taking advantage of weapons is also a matter of course."

Tan Taiying's words were correct, but Tao Mo felt that these words were so harsh, there was a sharp piercing sound in his ears, and the things in front of him were shaking more and more, as if everything was turning upside down around him, and his head was heavy sharp.Immediately afterwards, Tao Mo moved forward for a moment, he only felt that his eyes went dark, and he fell into a soft darkness in an instant.

At the same time, the panicked calls in his ears suddenly formed a vortex, getting deeper and deeper as he fell into the darkness.

I don't know how long it took, when Tao Mo regained consciousness, he felt his whole body was icy cold, like falling into a deep pool.When I opened my eyes, I saw water and moonlight pouring down from the window, converging into a shallow silver pool beside the bed, and the shadows of trees whirling outside the window, and the moonlight pouring into the house, like water lilies swaying in the silver pool.It was already late at night.He moved his body and sat up from the bed. As soon as he sat up straight, he felt dizzy and his ears were ringing.He knew in his heart that he was drunk by those glasses of wine, so he passed away in front of Tan Taiying and Bai Wangyan for a while.He was extremely embarrassed for a while, but he still quickly meditated on the bed and luckily managed to dissipate the drunkenness.

I don't know who took off his coat when he was drunk and unconscious. After Tao Mo adjusted his breath, he completely eliminated the drunkenness. When he looked up, he happened to see the black coat neatly folded beside the bed. , pressing down with his saber.He went over to check the clothes, only to find that there was no smell of alcohol on them, as if someone had carefully washed them.

Pushing open the window, it is completely different from the bustling market that passes by during the day, and the small courtyard is decorated in a very simple and elegant way this month.The leaves of the bamboo forest bathed in the moonlight are silvery, swaying with the breeze, casting their shadows on the carved stone table, and the night wind blows over the scrolls placed on the stone table, rustling the pages of the paper.

The owner of this courtyard must be a literati with a lot of leisure.And Tao Mo had already guessed the name of the owner here. He knew that he would not be able to escape this time no matter what. It was a coincidence that he was extremely surprised. The Senluo Villa is located outside the small southern city. But he was walking along the river all the way to Yuzhou City along the coast, who knew that he would meet the person he thought he would never see again here.His hands were tightly clenched into fists. He didn't know what to do. Uncle Ge told him seriously that the farther away from Bai Jin the better, but Bai Wangyan told him with actions that no matter what happened, They can protect him well.In the puppet villa, Bai Wangyan used his own power to win a ray of light for him, in the wine shop, it was Bai Wangyan who saw through each other's every move for him, and now, it was Bai Wangyan who brought him back to this small courtyard. take a break.

Unknowingly, Tao Mo only felt that he could never get rid of this white-clothed scholar. His days, which were originally like a dark night, were unintentionally illuminated by him.

Gradually loosening his hand, Tao Mo stood by the window, staring at the scroll on the stone table, silent.

Suddenly, the door behind him slowly opened a crack, as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping person, the young man in a robe walked into the room cautiously, but when he just stepped into the door, he raised his head suddenly. Suddenly seeing the black figure standing by the window, he gasped in fright, but when he saw clearly that the person was Tao Mo, he was relieved: "Tao Shaoxia, are you awake?"

Tao Mo responded: "Yes, I'm awake." He paused, as if he was thinking about his words carefully: "Thank you, Mr. Bai."

Hearing Tao Mo's reply, Bai Wangyan's heart that had just been let go suddenly lifted up again. He walked up to Tao Mo quickly, carefully studied the face of the swordsman under the moon, and hesitated to speak.

It's been a long time since I've had such close contact with him, Bai Wangyan thought to himself.He had already guessed the reason for Tao Mo's haste to leave without saying goodbye, but he was probably afraid that the truth was indeed as he guessed, so he was not sure about his guess.Now he is also a little confused about Tao Mo's thoughts. If he is getting closer, will he make the other party have the intention to leave again?

"Young Master Tao is being polite." Bai Wangyan put on his usual soft smile and asked, "Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

"No," Tao Mo hesitated, "I'm... drunk?"

The white-clothed scholar's smile suddenly faded, and he frowned slightly: "If Tao Shaoxia is incapable of drinking, it's better not to force yourself. Master Tantai Shaogu has a bold personality and an amazing capacity for alcohol. Suffer."

"This is also my negligence. If I notice that you, young hero..."

"It's none of your business." Tao Mo waved his hand. He didn't want Bai Wangyan to blame himself for no reason, but he was a little surprised by the sudden disappointment on the other side's face. The inarticulate swordsman hurriedly shook his head and said, " Don't get me wrong. I mean, it's all my fault that I can't drink enough, and Mr. Bai doesn't need to blame himself. "

"Alas..." Bai Wangyan let out a long sigh. He raised the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "Then Tao Shaoxia has a good rest, and Bai won't bother me anymore."

Having said that, Bai Wangyan turned around and walked out the door. Tao Mo looked at his back, and the words he was thinking were crowded in his chest for a while, and he wanted to escape through this awkward silence.

"Mr. Bai!" Tao Mo heard himself calling out to him.

As expected, Bai Wangyan stopped in his tracks, and he came back to his senses in surprise: "Is Tao Shaoxia okay?"

This sentence was shouted out, but the second half of the sentence was missing. Tao Mo stood in front of the window with a little embarrassment, thought for a long time, and finally asked, "Why is Mr. Bai in that wine shop today?"

It turned out to be the question.Bai Wangyan felt a little disappointed in his heart, and he replied with a normal expression: "After the gathering, I was discussing some private matters with the two gentlemen in the wine shop, and I happened to meet Tao Shaoxia."

It is indeed a coincidence that we parted in Senluo Villa and met again in this barbarian wine shop in this small coastal town.

"So that's how it is," Tao Mo nodded, trying to squeeze out a smiley expression, "Thank you Mr. Bai today," he thought for a while, and continued, "I'm not good at dealing with so many people. If you didn't show up in time, Mr. Bai, to point out their weaknesses, I'm afraid... I'm afraid they'll control you instead."

Bai Wangyan frowned, and his eyes as calm as still water just looked at the young man standing in front of the window, but Tao Mo couldn't detect what kind of emotion was contained in this gaze, it was just an ordinary "" Look." That's all.Just staring at Tao Mo quietly for a while, Bai Wangyan finally hooked the corners of his mouth lightly, and he said with a smile: "Young Master Tao has won the prize, if I wasn't here today, with your skills, you can still beat them to death .”

Tao Mo shook his head: "No, this is different. Mr. Bai's knowledge of martial arts...is much better than mine."

His words were not flattery. As a martial arts practitioner, Tao Mo certainly knew how much Bai Wangyan helped him.He is not good at group battles, so Bai Wangyan pointed out to him the opponent's weaknesses one by one, so that he could defeat them one by one with the sword in his hand, and he also knew clearly that if this white-clothed scholar knows some self-defense skills, he will definitely be better than ordinary warriors Much better.

In the moment of raising your hand, you can see the opponent's martial arts in your eyes. What a powerful vision and profound knowledge of martial arts is required!Tao Mo knew that what he lacked most now was the identification of other martial arts methods, but how did this scholar who didn't know martial arts do it like this...

Bai Wangyan waved his hand, and said with a smile, "It's just superficial, my father is very interested in martial arts, it's just what he's heard and seen." Seeing that Tao Mo looked at him half-understanding, he continued, "Father yearns for life in the Jianghu very much. , I like to study martial arts routines and make friends with heroes from all walks of life. Unfortunately, I missed the best time to practice martial arts. Learning classics, I can barely recognize such a move. Today I can use such clumsy skills to help Tao Shaoxia, which makes me feel that my intentions were not in vain."

If there was a young master like Mo Bin who was so eloquent, he would have smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you are being modest."

But Tao Mo just looked at the smiling scholar in front of him quietly, not knowing how to respond for a while.He thought too much, so that he couldn't react instantly and say some polite words like others. After hearing Bai Wangyan's explanation like this, his memories floated back to the cloudy bamboo forest, knowing everything in the world Uncle Ge said to stay away from Bai Jin.At this moment, the original doubts in his heart began to waver again. Those mysterious things in Senluo Villa were strung together in his mind with the rain, and the guesses and doubts were blurred by the rain in his memory at this moment. , but the umbrella propped up in front of Yanshi Pavilion is particularly clear.

Shaking his head, the young man said: "It's amazing to be able to see through the opponent's martial arts at a glance." He thought for a while, and finally sighed, lowered his head slightly, and said the sentence he had always wanted to say: " I'm sorry I didn't tell you and Third Young Master Mo when I left."

The brows gradually stretched, and the handsome young man in white showed a heartfelt smile. He shook his head: "This is how the world is, and Tao Shaoxia doesn't need to apologize for it. It is also a great fate that you and I meet again now. Ah, time It's not too early, I won't bother Tao Shaoxia."

"This is my house in Yuzhou City. Please rest assured, young man." At the end, Bai Wangyan added this sentence. Turned around and left.

Only when the door was closed again did Tao Mo look away from where he left.Before seeing Bai Wangyan, he had thoughts of leaving at night, but when he saw Bai Wangyan, these thoughts seemed to have wings, and they all flew away in an instant.
