Loyal dogs walk everywhere [Comprehensive + Sword III]

Three months passed quickly, especially in a comfortable situation, almost in the blink of an eye.

The place of the engagement was in Beilu, and Gu Chida and Linghu Shang had arrived in this country long before the scheduled date.

Today is the day of the sword fight.

"Master said earlier that he thought the disciple would win, is it true?" Linghu Shang held the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and the lines on the hilt were stroked by his fingertips one by one, still showing no emotion on his face. Faint.It's as if you don't care about the answer to this question, just ask casually.

But Gu Chi, who raised his apprentices from a small group to what he is today, could not see his true inner thoughts, so he replied with a gentle voice and affirmative words: "Naturally, as a teacher, you are the disciple you teach. Always confident."

The white-robed swordsman raised his eyebrows slightly, although his expression didn't change, his mood became better.

Gu Chi saw the above changes in his eyes, turned his head and coughed...

The apprentice is still as easy to coax as when he was a child, and he is happy when he is boasting.

After all, Jian Su belonged to the senior masters in the Western Regions, and Linghu Shang had defeated all famous masters in the Western Regions since last year, and his position as the number one swordsman in the Western Regions was basically established.

If he can defeat the former again this time, I believe that no one will have the slightest doubt about his title of 'No. [-] Swordsman'.

The result of the competition requires witnesses, but there are many people who are interested in this competition. For example, there are not a few people who come to Beilu to watch the battle after hearing the news, so there is no need to worry about this issue.

The sword is a cold kill, Linghu Shang's sword is the same as his own, cold and icy, as aggressive as a piercing cold light.

But judging from the hundred moves he and Jian Su have made so far, they are all sword paths with no retreat, no offense but no defense.The stabbing angles are all dead corners that are difficult to defend, which is the so-called attacking the enemy's vital points everywhere... forcing the opponent to switch from offensive to defensive.

In fact, it is hard to imagine that the person who first taught him this kind of swordsmanship was a young man with a gentle face.

When the young man's body was not so bad, he would confront him every day and teach him personally.

And one day.

"If the opponent is tyrannical, you are more tyrannical than him. If the opponent is tricky, you are more tricky than him."

"Offense is the best defense, and this is the teacher's opinion."

After finishing the two sentences, the young man moved the cold and clear long sword away from his neck.

At the age of 15, he was almost powerless against his master.Maybe he can win now, but it is based on the premise that the opponent's body is too weak.

The sound of blades being exchanged was uninterrupted, and in the blink of an eye, all moves were over.

At this time, Linghu Shang drew back to get a long distance, and then struck the ground with a sword, the ground made of bricks stopped trembling immediately, and cracks appeared.The crack spread all the way to the place where Jiansu was standing, and exploded at the moment of arrival.

When retreating to avoid the attack, the flying sand and stone blocked his vision for a short time, but at the moment when Jiansu sensed the danger with his experience and tried to block it with his sword——

Linghu Shang was one step faster than him.

Seeing a flash of cold light, the tip of the sword is almost in sight...

But originally this sword could really win, and Jian Su just wanted to lament how awesome the younger generation is... Linghu Shang's sword went wrong.

So Jian Su was able to hold it well, and the two swords were handed over again, and each of them retreated three steps.

"Distraction is a big taboo for swordsmen." Jian Su was not in a hurry to advance, after all, the opponent was the junior he was looking forward to, with excellent aptitude and talent, so he didn't want the opponent to take more detours on the way of swordsmanship.

The duel between the masters is basically a slight loss, a thousand miles.And when you are slightly distracted and unable to focus on the sword in your hand, it is the beginning of the weakening and mistakes of the swordsman.

"Master."

From the current angle of view, Linghu Shang could clearly see the young man's red-stained sleeves, and the blood dripping continuously along the young man's slender and beautiful fingers.

Ignoring everyone's different eyes, Linghu Shang withdrew his sword.

"Is he admitting defeat?" Inevitably there were whispers from the crowd.

Jian Su would not attack an opponent who had put away his sword, but he also looked into the crowd, and he knew the reason.

"You and I can decide another date."

Linghu Shang didn't even have time to nod his head, he had already left a few meters away before Jian Su could speak, and he only responded with a very brief 'hmm' when he heard the words.

Because he doesn't feel pain, Gu Chi is always aware of his own condition very late, and when he is aware of it, he is already close to semi-consciousness.

Fortunately, he didn't need to have an intimate contact with the ground, because the moment he fell down, he was caught by Linghu Shang.

"Master."

When he woke up, Gu Chi's vision was still slightly blurred, but he heard a cold voice nearby.He was lying on the bed right now, and when he moved his head to look, he could roughly see a figure standing by the bed.

He couldn't see clearly, but Gu Chi could almost imagine the other party's eyebrows drooping.

"It's fine as a teacher." At this moment, he wanted to sit up, but Gu Chi found that he didn't have the strength for the time being.

Linghu Shang held the sword in both hands and remained silent.

This reassurance is not effective all the time, since he knew the matter, he knew that the 'nothing' said by the young man was just a lie to make him feel at ease.

Even if the wound was covered with specially prepared wound medicine, it took a long time to stop the bleeding. The word 'nothing'...has no credibility.

"Master, I remember that the competition is not over yet." His vision gradually became clear, and Gu Chi coughed for a while: "It will be true..."

Linghu Shang's voice was very indifferent: "The disciple is not interested in fame and honor, nor does he care about other people's opinions."

He has always only cared about one person's opinion, the most important person to him.

in front of his eyes.

After this time, Gu Chi's life became even more...disciple stricter.

Three bowls of medicine a day, not less than one bowl.It is impossible to secretly pour it out. From picking up the porcelain bowl to putting it down after drinking, the white-robed swordsman standing aside with indifferent eyes stared at him.

It can't be spicy, it can't be spicy, and the three meals are medicinal food.Gu Chi was very distressed, but he was still willing to follow his apprentice's wishes... and he couldn't bear to tell the other party, it was actually useless.

In the next year, when Gu Chi's physical condition seemed to have stabilized a bit, Linghu Shang went to the competition with Jian Su again.

This time the location is in Kucha.

With Linghu Shang's aptitude and talent, it can be said that he can progress rapidly in swordsmanship.Now, a year later, facing the same opponent, he no longer needs to use tricks to win.

Winning is inevitable.After a year, Gu Chi, who was far away in Jiuquan County, was confident in this point.

But what surprised him was that his apprentice...brought back a little girl in rags.Of course he knew who the little girl was.

"Master... master ancestor."

Gu Chi was stunned for a moment at the beginning, this title is really... But seeing the little girl in front of him who was obviously very scared and wanted to cry, but forced to show a flattering smile in front of him, Gu Chi's heart suddenly softened .

"It's okay." Gu Chiwen said in a warm voice, with his eyebrows slightly bent, he raised his hand to touch the little girl's head.

Then he watched the other party cry in front of him, tears streaming down, but he still didn't dare to cry out.

Gu Chi couldn't see a child crying, especially crying to him, once he cried, there was nothing wrong with it.

Gu Chi: "..."

But when it comes to coaxing children, Gu Chi has almost changed from bad to proficient.He bent down and half-wrapped the crying little girl in his arms, and patted her thin back lightly.

Linghu Shang watched quietly from the side, his gaze was always on the young man.When he was young, the other party was like this...

Another two years.

During the past two years, life has been really comfortable.Gu Chida didn't have any new wounds for no reason, and Linghu Shang gradually felt relieved, feeling that the other party's physical condition had really stabilized.

"Didn't you go to Loulan with Xiaosha...?" Gu Chi couldn't help but wonder when he saw his apprentice again.

The breached Loulan may have been forced to change its name and surname. Su Mansha said a few days ago that she wanted to go back and have a look. Of course, she was only looking at it from a distance, and Gu Chi agreed.

"Senior Jiansu is over there, and he promised to take care of one or two for his disciple." Linghu Shang replied calmly, for some reason, he didn't want to be too far away from the young man in front of him recently...I always feel that something uncontrollable will happen if he is far away .

Gu Chi nodded, accepting the statement.The handwriting practice is still going on, and I just paused to write because of doubts.

"Master."

Hearing this, Gu Chi paused to write again, then put down the pen, and stood up.

"What's going on..." No wonder Gu Chi was slightly stunned, it was the other party's actions that caught him off guard.Those who approached put their heads on his shoulders, and put their arms around his waist.

Linghu Shang: "..." If you don't let him hug and hear it, you can't feel at ease.

It's like being hugged by a big white dumpling, and the hug is very tight.It didn't take long for Gu Chi to respond, patting the other person's back, as if to comfort him.

But this peaceful atmosphere did not last long after all——

Suddenly, Gu Chi realized that his apprentice was extremely rare, and a look of uneasiness appeared in his eyes.

Following the gaze of the other party, Gu Chi saw that the robe on his body was dyed a large area of ​​red on the left abdomen.

Gu Chi remembered this position, it was at the end... that sword of Daogan.

"Master." On Linghu Shang's usually indifferent face, the expression of uneasiness became clearer and more obvious.He chanted this title, as if telling the young man not to leave.

But why can't the blood stop this time...?
