Tell you not to touch my sword [Cultivation]

Shen Ke woke up from the nightmare.

The loud sound of firecrackers made him realize that it was the dawn of the new year, not the night in his dream that seemed to never end.

After a long time, he pushed away the thick quilt piled up on his body, and the cold sweat had already soaked the quilt as heavy as iron.

"how?"

Shen Ke got up to get his clothes, only to realize that he was not alone on this bed.Xiao Daoluan may have just been awakened by his movements, his eyes are not as cold as usual, but a little hazy, not knowing why.He blinked, and his thick eyelashes drooped, covering the slight mist in his eyes.

Shen Ke didn't care to appreciate the situation.He didn't even hear what Xiao Daoluan said, he hurried past the other party and got off the bed, put on his outer robe, didn't even fasten the belt, and walked out with his shoes on.

Xiao Daoluan glanced at the sunken quilt, and got out of bed.He didn't leave in such a hurry as Shen Ke, it was more like he was thinking about something while getting dressed.

Not long after Shen Ke went out, he rushed back again, panting, "Second Lin is gone."

Xiao Daoluan slowly put the soft towel in the copper basin, but no one prepared hot water for him like Shen Ke.

Shen Ke paced back and forth at the door of the room, saying: "You won't be angry because you lost a drink last night, you have taken away all your baggage. Even if there is something urgent, you can leave a letter to let me know..."

Xiao Daoluan's fingers were sunk in the soft towel, and he said, "Yes."

"Last night...you didn't drink, did you?" Shen Ke suddenly remembered something, "If he stayed, you must know. Did he say anything?"

"……No."

Shen Ke tugged at his hair, his mind was in a mess and he had no thoughts.The nightmare in the morning made it impossible for him to convince himself that Lin Ziyou just went out of the inn to relax.As long as he thought of the figure of the other party covered by the wind and snow, he felt extremely sad.

It seemed that it was not just a dream, but an ominous omen.

He urgently needs to find each other and prove that the nightmare is just a nightmare after all.

Shen Ke took the ink sword, stuffed a few taels of silver in his arms, and planned to go out to try his luck.

Before leaving, he turned his head and said to Xiao Daoluan: "I greeted the shopkeeper a few years ago. He will cook some hot porridge and prepare some side dishes. If you are hungry, just go downstairs to eat. The meal has already been paid for." gone."

Xiao Daoluan: "What about you?"

"After thinking about it, I can only go to the Guiyi School to find it. If there is no clue there, then go to the Lin family."

Although Guanzhong is large, there are only these two places that are related to Lin Ziyou and have considerable influence.If Lin Ziyou didn't leave voluntarily, it would only be one of them who could silently coerce a Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator.Shen Ke didn't dare to speak out his conjecture, fearing that it would become a prophecy.

Xiao Daoluan: "Dinner first."

He half blocked in front of Shen Ke, Shen Ke couldn't walk out of the room for a while, so he pushed Xiao Daoluan anxiously, saying: "I can't eat."

The strength of Shen Ke's shot in a hurry was not light, and Xiao Daoluan was pushed and staggered unprepared.

Shen Ke covered his forehead in frustration, and reached out his hand to support Xiao Daoluan, but the other party stood still before his hand was stretched out.

"I'm sorry, Lin Laoer and I have been together for so many years... I have not only regarded him as a friend... If I disappeared today, he would have... Forget it, you may not understand, I am leaving."

After speaking, Shen Ke walked out the door quickly with his head down, and the wooden boards in the aisle were trampled by him.

Xiao Daoluan pressed his heart and meditated.Shen Ke pushed there earlier, it didn't hurt very much, but it was a little blocked.He asked the shopkeeper for a pot of hot water, soaked a soft towel and wiped his cheeks, and went downstairs to drink half a bowl of hot porridge.

The porridge tasted wrong, and the warmth from the soft towel on his face seemed to only stay in such a small area.

The faint fluctuations in the air were the breath of the ink sword that he could faintly detect.This breath spread from the inn to the west of the city, like a hidden thin thread, connecting people at both ends.

"I don't eat much of this..." The shopkeeper saw that the guests had left their seats, so he came up to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, only to find that half a bowl of porridge was missing, but none of the fried buns had been moved.He was frowning for his craftsmanship, but when he turned his head and saw that the sky outside the door was still so gloomy, he couldn't help but raised his voice to remind, "Guest officer, take an umbrella before you go out..."

The guest who couldn't resist the severe cold just by looking at him has long since disappeared.

The shopkeeper took a fried bun and stuffed it into his mouth, shook his head and said, "Are you rushing to reincarnate one or two? It's going to snow again~"

……

Xiao Daoluan caught up with Shen Ke when he was only a few hundred steps away from the west city gate.

Shen Ke buried his head on his way and didn't notice when there was another person beside him, until Xiao Daoluan put a fox fur on his body.

He bought the fox fur a few years ago and planned to wear it to go out for fun when the weather was cold.Not only did he have one, he conveniently prepared one for both Lin Ziyou and Xiao Daoluan, both of which were snow white, thinking that if it happened to be snowing, he would be able to make fun of the other party's body swelling.

"Have you... eaten?"

Xiao Daoluan: "Yes."

Shen Ke didn't ask any more questions.When he walked to the Valley Temple near the west city gate, thinking of himself and Lin Ziyou's embarrassing days in the past, he smiled wryly: "We have slept in this Valley Temple too... probably there is nothing more dilapidated in Guanzhong."

As he spoke, he involuntarily walked towards the Valley God Temple, and his right eyelid twitched suddenly.

Shen Ke spoke intermittently in order to relieve his inner uneasiness, and Xiao Daoluan nodded from time to time, finally giving him some comfort.

He walked into the Valley Shrine, and the statue was still the same one from many years ago, the paint had long since peeled off, and the wooden body was cracked in several places due to the wind and sun.I remember that in front of this wooden fetus, I and Lin Ziyou laughed at each other, whether it is true that they have never touched the hands of other girls except the female Bodhisattva.

"Back then we liked to hide our treasures behind statues, and anyway, except for the two of us—"

Shen Ke stopped suddenly.

Xiao Daoluan, who was following behind him, saw Shen Ke's back straighten up instantly, and then quickly collapsed.In Xiao Daoluan's memory, Shen Ke has always been smooth and free-spirited. It is rare that he is as sharp as a sword and decadent as if the sword's edge is broken in an instant.

Shen Ke randomly picked apart the haystack, and took out the familiar Duan inkstone from the bundle.

Lin Ziyou never left anything he gave away, even if it was a flower he picked casually while joking, he would put it in a vase and wait until it withered.

The edges and corners of the Duan inkstone were so painful that Shen Ke heard himself talking.

"Young Master Xiao, it may not be appropriate to say that. I didn't ask for anything when I promised to give you the sword. Since you are willing to spend so long with me for this sword, it should be considered a good thing."

Xiao Daoluan frowned and said: "Then?"

That black sword was on Shen Ke's body. He made an appointment with Xiao Daoluan at the beginning, and when he had seen the scenery he wanted to see and finished what he wanted to do, he would give the sword to him.Shen Ke was sincere when he said it, but he was not without calculations afterwards.

What kind of scenery is enough to see?

What do you do to be satisfied?

Shen Ke originally thought to give Xiao Daoluan the sword when he was about to lose patience.Before that, being able to spend more time with each other is a temporary thing.

But if Lin Ziyou still had such flirtatious thoughts when Lin Ziyou's life and death were unknown, he would be in vain.

life and death unknown...

Shen Ke silently recited these four words in his heart, but he had an extremely strong intuition that Lin Ziyou might have...

He slapped himself, untied the ink sword and threw it at Xiao Daoluan's feet, raised his head and said, "I can give you the sword right now, as long as you do one thing for me."

The depressed mood since waking up in the morning can't get worse by this time.Xiao Daoluan thought to himself, Shen Ke had never spoken to him in this tone, nor had he ever seen Shen Ke speak to anyone in this tone.Even to the peddler who made sarcastic remarks, Shen Ke would only retaliate sharply.Spreading everything out coldly like this gave Xiao Daoluan the illusion that the other party would say in the next moment, "I have a few taels of silver and I want to buy some of your goods. If the deal is made, the money and goods will be settled immediately; if not." , Then one shot and two scattered.

Xiao Daoluan's silence made Shen Ke mistaken for rejection, he pursed his lips and looked at the burden left by Lin Ziyou.Naturally, there was nothing in the baggage that could be sold. Like him, Lin Ziyou was one of the countless mice struggling in the ditch in the cultivation world.When I look up occasionally, I will be confused by the bright stars in the night sky, but I often forget the dazzling stars and moon... I often prefer high-ranking families.

What else can he bring out?

Shen Ke said word by word: "I have done a lot of things for you these days. If you remember a little... just help me this time."

Xiao Daoluan looked at him deeply and sighed.

"I'll help you."

Shen Ke propped himself up, slowly stood up straight, and didn't pick up the ink sword again.To ask Xiao Daoluan to help, he must be sincere.

Whether it is against Gui Yizong or the Taiyuan Lin family, it is extremely dangerous.Shen Ke is not afraid, but before that, he has to finish all the unfinished things for Lin Ziyou.

Shen Ke slowly closed his eyes, as if he could still see Lin Ziyou, who was more beautiful than today many years ago, standing in front of himself who was still a bit childish.

A young man doesn't know how to feel sad, just entered the rivers and lakes, his brows and eyes are full of arrogance as he looks at the heroes of the world with a smile.Maybe there is also the joy of finally leaving the boring big family and being able to express my life's ambitions.

The sword in his hand has not yet been sharpened, but it seems that countless good heads have been chopped off.

He said that one day, he will find the best feng shui place for his mother who died unjustly, and then let those dogs who look down on others all kneel and kowtow in front of the grave.

Shen Ke wiped the corners of his eyes, but fortunately, it was dry.
