Gold sparring [Comprehensive + Sword III]

Although he resented Ye Weixing's willingness to go to the capital but resolutely refused to come to the desert, Yu Luocha finally took Lu Lingyou away without daring to complain.

As soon as their master and apprentice left, Ye Weixing's daily fun suddenly halved, leaving only the teaching of the apprentice to do.

Ximen Chuuxue and Yuan Suiyun were quite happy, because she spent significantly more time with the two of them, and sometimes even spent the whole day lying on a tree by the lake watching them practice swords.

Of course, one of them is restrained and the other is indifferent. Even if they are happy, they behave so that people can hardly see any difference from before.

It's cold and humid in the south of the Yangtze River in winter, making Ji Bingyan, who was born and raised in Saibei, very unaccustomed.

So during the entire twelfth lunar month, he was almost always busy up and down wrapped in fox fur.

Seeing Ye Weixing, he simply ordered the tailor in Hidden Sword Villa to make two pieces for several children in the village, so as to save him from freezing during sword practice.

As for herself, it doesn't matter much.

She thought that if Hu Tiehua was here at this time, she would definitely drink wine and tell a group of children about their first meeting. On that day, she walked away in the snow outside the Great Wall with bare shoulders.

Ji Bingyan: "Didn't the two of them say they would come back for the New Year? I guess they are already on their way back to Jiangnan by now."

Ye Weixing: "Really? Is there such a thing?"

Ji Bingyan thought for a while, her face suddenly paused, and then said slowly: "Yes, you really don't know, it was Lao Chu who told me alone."

"You guys are still saying goodbye alone?" Ye Wei subdued, "I feel like Lao Hu and I are being squeezed out!"

"...We are mainly talking about other things." Ji Bingyan said helplessly.

"What's the matter?" Seeing his attitude of not wanting to mention it, Ye Weixing made a casual guess, "Is it related to your sect?"

Ji Bingyan: "..."

He didn't speak, Ye Weixing took it as his acquiescence.

Ye Weixing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since it's your teacher's business, I won't ask about it, don't worry."

Ji Bingyan said again: "..."

It's not what she thought.

When Chu Liuxiang looked for him alone, he guessed the real reason why he wanted to stay in Hangzhou.

The three of them grew up together and knew each other very well. Chu Liuxiang was still the smartest and most careful one among the three of them.

He saw Ji Bingyan's hot thoughts, so he didn't force Ji Bingyan to go to Fusang with the two of them.

But Chu Liuxiang also said: "You see, Xiaoye has known us for so long, and has always gotten along best with Lao Hu, which proves that they are a kind of people."

Chu Liuxiang is very clear about what it means to be the same kind of person as Hu Tiehua, and so is Ji Bingyan.

It means that if he doesn't say anything, Ye Weixing may not be able to react for the rest of his life.

So Chu Liuxiang's last sentence was to persuade him to correct his faults, and stop always showing any kindness.

At that time, Ji Bingyan didn't take this conversation very seriously, because he felt that the future would be long, Ye Weixing would not go to other places, and he also had plenty of time.

But looking back now, he had to admit that Chu Liuxiang was right.

Even Ye Weixing would prefer others to praise her instead of arguing with her everywhere.

Yu Luocha knows this well.

In the past month or so, Ji Bingyan has seen him at least a dozen times, leaning over with a smile and saying something in an extremely exaggerated tone that Ji Bingyan thinks is stupid.

After Ye Weixing heard this, although he couldn't help but hit him with a light sword, he always had a smile on his face.

Ji Bingyan has been thinking about this for a long time, but she feels that she has no right to comment on it, so she can only spend more energy outside and upstairs.

Now halfway through the twelfth lunar month, he had spent the busiest day of the year, and Yu Luocha's master and apprentice had completely left Jiangnan. Ye Weixing really began to feel bored.

This made Ji Bingyan somewhat frustrated.

He couldn't say the reason for the defeat at all.

He could only tell her that Lao Hu and Lao Chu would come back for the New Year.

After Ye Weixing confirmed the news, he was very happy.

That afternoon, she told Chu Liuxiang's three younger sisters about the incident.

When the three little girls rescued by Chu Liuxiang heard it, their eyes lit up: "Really?"

Ye Weixing nodded: "Old Ji said, he doesn't need to lie to me."

Song Tian'er immediately put down the wooden sword in her hand, and said, "Then when Big Brother Chu comes back, I'll cook him my new dish!"

Hearing this, Su Rongrong and Li Hongxiu looked at each other and walked over with a smile.

Li Hongxiu asked, "When will they come back?"

Ye Weixing really didn't know about this, but she felt that with Chu Liuxiang's personality, if she couldn't guarantee something, she wouldn't make a promise.

Since he told Ji Bingyan this time that he would come back for the New Year, he would definitely come back, even if it was New Year's Eve.

Because of this hope, in the next half month, the three little girls and Yidianhong became more motivated to learn swords.

Among the three of them, Su Rongrong has the best talent, but until now, Ye Weixing is most optimistic about Li Hongxiu.

This little girl's photographic memory is probably innate, no matter what moves, she can remember them after just one look.

After remembering, she will figure it out completely by herself.

This way of learning sounds a bit stupid, but when you actually practice it, it is no worse than Su Rongrong and Song Tian'er.

She will be slow, but once she knows it, she will really know it.

Ye Weixing found it very rare.

What also comforted her was a little red.

Ever since she started teaching the three of them how to learn how to sword, Yidianhong never could not help doubting her own sword as before.Now that he is confident, his sword intent has expanded a lot, and the traces of the killer sword in the past are gone, but he really has the feeling of "a gentleman is like the wind" that Hidden Sword Villa should have.

She and Yidianhong sighed: "Look, it was right to agree to hang out with me in Jinling back then!"

Yidianhong nodded very solemnly: "What the master said is true."

When the two talked about Jinling, Ye Weixing suddenly remembered something very important.

When the Hidden Sword Villa was completed, she went to Taiyuan because of Dr. Ximen's letter, and she didn't have time to personally thank the Hua family who had helped her a lot.

Later, she came back from Taiyuan with two apprentices, and asked about the whereabouts of the Second Master Hua who was in charge of supervising the villa. Chu Liuxiang told her that the Second Master Hua had already left for the northwest.

So in the end when she had a big banquet for the guests, the great hero was not able to attend.

It has been a year since her villa was completed, and the end of the new year is approaching, so why should she prepare a gift and send it to Hua's family in Jinling.

Time was running out, after a sparring session with Yidianhong, and a few more pointers, Ye Weixing hurried across the lake, climbed over the wall and left the villa to discuss this matter with Ji Bingyan.

In the end, she went into the building outside the building and found someone. Before she finished speaking, Ji Bingyan interrupted her: "I prepared this a few days ago, so you don't have to worry about it."

"There are also Shenhou Mansion, Yongcui Villa, Xuejiazhuang, Wuzheng Villa, and Baiyun City. I have also prepared everything." He added.

"Oh my God, why do you think about everything?" Ye Weixing was dumbfounded.

"Didn't you say that I am the big manager?" He asked back, "A big manager can't even do these things well."

Ye Weixing let out a hey, patted him on the back as he did countless times in the past, then hooked his shoulders, and said, "Then we just need to wait for Lao Chu and Lao Hu to come back now!"

Ji Bingyan: "...um."

"I don't know if they will bring back some Fuso specialties."

"Fuso specialty?"

"Yes." She nodded, "Didn't everyone say that the wine at Fusang is different from our Central Plains? I think according to Lao Hu's personality, he will definitely try it. I just hope that when he drinks happily, he won't drink us. forget."

Ji Bingyan thought for a while, and said that even if he forgot, Lao Chu would remember.

Ye Weixing laughed immediately: "That's great."

When she said this, her hand was still on his shoulder, and when he tilted his head, the heat greeted his face directly, making him stiff instinctively for a moment.

With her martial arts, she immediately discovered this.

But she didn't think too much about it, just when this friend had a cleanliness attack again, she immediately let go of her hand cooperatively, and spread it out for him to see: "It's clean, don't worry."

Ji Bingyan: "..."

Forget it, she doesn't have this personality, what does he care about with her.

With the hope of the Hezhuang people, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua finally came back on the eve of New Year's Eve.

But it was not only the two of them who came back, but also a child.

The child was held in Chu Liuxiang's arms. He looked only four or five years old, probably injured, with his eyes closed and his face pale.

Ye Weixing noticed that his clothes were very old and his hair was so messy that it seemed he had never been combed, so he subconsciously guessed that this was an orphan Chu Liuxiang picked up in the wild.

Then she asked, and found that it was true.

But things were more complicated than she imagined.

Chu Liuxiang said: "Xiao Hu and I passed a mountain forest with no village in front and no shop in the back on the way here, so we wanted to rest there for the night, but at night I suddenly heard a movement, and when I opened my eyes, I found a dark shadow in Xiao Hu's eyes. side of the burden."

The moonlight was dim that night, when Chu Liuxiang heard those rustling noises and saw this black shadow, she instinctively thought that they had encountered some wild beast.

So he made a move almost immediately, trying to repel it.

As a result, the "beast" was more flexible than he had imagined, not only dodged his palm, but also ran away with Hu Tiehua's bag.

Hu Tiehua also woke up at this time.

The two pursued all the way, probably because they were pressing too hard, causing each other to collide in the forest, and finally stepped on an old trap, and let out a painful muffled groan.

As soon as the muffled snort came out, Chu Liuxiang was taken aback, because it was obviously a sound that can only be made by humans.

So he hurriedly approached Hu Tiehua lightly, and told Hu Tiehua to be quiet, so as not to scare him.

The other party was very vigilant, and also very resistant to his approach. Although he was caught by the trap and couldn't run anymore, at the moment Chu Liuxiang squatted down, a "claw" caught him.

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

He avoided it, but he didn't expect the little guy's nails to be so sharp, so he still got two scratches on his wrist.

Afterwards, he took out the torch in his arms, peeled off the fur and branches of this "beast", and found that it was a child.

And it looks smaller than his apprentice Sikong Zhaixing.

Hu Tiehua was shocked: "A child? The two of us were actually taken half a mountain by a child?!"

Chu Liuxiang also had mixed feelings: "He is obviously very familiar with this mountain."

It's not that he's just trying to excuse himself, but the way he just chased, the kid ran directly to places where people couldn't get in more than once, which made the two of them very headache after chasing him.

Hu Tiehua: "Forget it, take the burden back first, and then help him remove the trappers. Such a small child is also pitiful."

Chu Liuxiang also intended to do so, but when he lowered his head again, he found that the child had passed out.

It turned out that the trap was poisoned, and it was probably used to deal with those ferocious mountain beasts.

He couldn't just throw such a small child here, after hesitating for a while, he picked him up and planned to find a doctor for him.

Hu Tiehua had no objection, he only cared about the wine in his luggage, after all, he brought it back from the sea, neither Ye Weixing nor Ji Bingyan drank it.

After such an accident happened, the two of them did not continue to spend the night in the mountains.

Chu Liuxiang hugged the child and walked all the way to Hangzhou in the dim moonlight, thinking to find a doctor for the child as soon as possible, so as to cure the poison on the trap.

He originally thought that the poison from this kind of old trap would not go anywhere, but after he took someone to see a doctor in a nearby town, the doctor waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he couldn't explain it.

Chu Liuxiang: "How come?!"

Doctor: "He's not only suffering from the poison on the clip, he also accidentally ingested a kind of herbal medicine that can cause people's mind to be confused. Now that the two medicines are combined, it's good if he doesn't die."

Hu Tiehua was dumbfounded: "What should we do now?"

Chu Liuxiang thought about it, and said decisively: "Go back to Hangzhou first, let Ji Bingyan use Xiaoye's post to invite Zhang Jianzhai, I don't believe that no one in this world can cure you."

Although what the doctor said was scary, the child was stronger than Chu Liuxiang expected.

Although he has not been awake and his face is getting uglier day by day, his heartbeat is always very strong.

Even though they hadn't communicated formally, Chu Liuxiang felt that this must be a very brave and determined child.

Hu Tiehua: "Don't forget that he wants to take my burden."

Chu Liuxiang: "It's probably because he was too hungry, otherwise, given how familiar he is with that mountain, I can't think of a reason why he would eat that herbal medicine by mistake. After all, even people in the town know that that kind of herbal medicine Can't touch."

Hu Tiehua laughed at him for taking another trouble, and he didn't refute, but asked, "Then do you think it would be better for us to leave him behind and go back to celebrate the New Year happily?"

Hu Tiehua immediately said, "I won't do such a heartless thing."

Chu Liuxiang smiled: "Isn't that done?"

Afterwards, the two continued on their way, and finally returned to Hidden Sword Villa one day earlier than originally planned.

That's pretty much what happened.

Ji Bingyan stood aside and listened, and immediately understood: "I'm going to invite Zhang Jianzhai in the name of Cangjian Villa."

Chu Liuxiang looked at this bamboo horse who had been away for more than half a year, with amused eyes.

But it's not suitable to talk at this time, so he just nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Ji Bingyan: "Thank her."

Without Ye Weixing's face, a famous doctor like Zhang Jianzhai would never go out to see people in such a cold day when the festival is coming.

Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose, cast her eyes on Ye Weixing, raised the corners of her lips and said, "Well, Xiaoye should be thanked."

Ye Weixing: "What is the relationship between us, and you are still delaying to thank this and that, hurry up and invite Zhang Jianzhai, I am afraid that tomorrow, my face will not be used."

Ji Bingyan heard the words and immediately went out to make arrangements.

The rest of the people stayed in this room with her, and they were all looking at the comatose child brought back by Chu Liuxiang.

Song Tian'er's eyes were the sharpest, and she couldn't help but wonder after watching for a moment: "Why does his hair seem to be green..."

Li Hongxiu also nodded: "Yes."

After the two of them finished speaking, they raised their heads to ask Chu Liuxiang, but Chu Liuxiang shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure about this, but when I, Xiaohu, saw him, he was like this."

Hu Tiehua added: "Anyway, he really doesn't look like a human being, and he can use his hands when running. I reckon he grew up in the mountains."

Ye Weixing hummed, and said no matter what, let's wait for Zhang Jianzhai to come over and have a look.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ximen Chuuxue, who had been standing quietly beside the bed, suddenly moved.

Ximen Chuuxue reached out and touched the child's pulse on the bed.

Ye Weixing: "???" Wait, did your father teach you to see a doctor?

Everyone in the room was shocked, so that before Ximen Chuuxue put down his hands, the room was so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.

After a while, Ximen Chuuxue frowned and said, "He can't die."

Ye Weixing: "..."

Ye Weixing said: "Have you studied medicine with your father?"

Ximen Chuuxue shook his head: "It doesn't count as learning."

When he was young, there was no sword manual at home, only various medical books.

At that time, Dr. Ximen had many patients every day, and he had no time to teach him to read slowly, so he asked the old housekeeper of Wanmei Villa to teach him.

The old butler thought that the master was a miracle doctor, so the young master would definitely learn medicine in the future, so he simply started teaching from the names of various herbs.

Ximen Chuuxue is very smart, no matter what he learns quickly, he has recognized all kinds of common herbs at home in a short time.

After confirming everything, he started to flip through the medical books by himself.

By the time Dr. Ximen discovered this, he had already read many basic medical books.

Unfortunately, just when Doctor Ximen made up his mind to teach his son to learn medicine, Ximen Chuuxue was given a sword manual by a swordsman who came to seek medical treatment.

Since then, his whole body has been immersed in the sword manual.

Seeing this, Dr. Ximen simply gave up his original plan.

He is a genius doctor, and he has treated many intractable diseases for many knights in the rivers and lakes. In the next six months, he collected many sword manuals for his son based on this.

Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was that after his death, Ximen Chuuxue came to the south of the Yangtze River, because he was powerless to deal with his serious illness, and picked up those medical books again while practicing sword.

But Ye Weixing only knew about this.

While being surprised, she felt as if her heart had been poked. It wasn't painful or uncomfortable, but she just wanted to rub the child's head.

In fact she did.

Ximen Chuuxue didn't hide, just glanced at her and said, "I'm going to practice sword."

Ye Weixing nodded: "Go ahead, Suiyun doesn't have to wait here, I'll come to you after Mr. Zhang arrives and ask about the situation."

After saying that, he patted Yuan Suiyun on the head.

Fortunately, her face was big enough, Zhang Jianzhai rushed over in the wind and snow not long after to treat the child brought back by Chu Liuxiang.

His opinion was the same as that of Ximen Chuuxue, he couldn't die.

"This child's health is much better than the average person's. I'm afraid it's not the first time he has eaten that kind of herbal medicine by mistake. The problem is not too big. Don't worry, Master Ye is." He said.

"Then his poison?" Ye Weixing asked.

"It's not difficult. I'll give him acupuncture later and prescribe another medicine. After tonight, he should be fine." Zhang Jianzhai replied respectfully.

With this accurate sentence, Ye Weixing was finally relieved.

She handed it over to Chu Liuxiang, and then went to the lake to find her apprentice.

To her surprise, after the day's instruction, Yuan Suiyun stopped her uncharacteristically, saying that there was a trick he still didn't understand.

Ye Weixing felt a little strange, because with his comprehension, it was impossible not to learn.

But she still stopped and told him again seriously.

Yuan Suiyun: "I know how to use it, but..."

Ye Weixing: "But?"

When he spoke again, there was a hint of frustration in his tone.

He said but he felt that when he used it, it was different from when Ximen Chuuxue used it.

Ye Weixing understood immediately.

She pressed the shoulder of the second apprentice who talked a lot more than when she first came, and said: "Of course you are different, Axue is Axue, you are you, two different people, how can they use exactly the same sword? "

"Then who does Master think is better?"

"Swords are not classified as good or bad like this." Ye Weixing said, "Besides, you have only started learning for a short time now, and there is no point in distinguishing between superior and inferior."

"But the world's swordsmen, there are always superior and inferior." Yuan Suiyun somewhat disagreed.

"Swordsmanship is indeed superior or inferior, but you and Ashe's swordsmanship are both very good. You just have different personalities, so when you use the same moves, there will be subtle differences."

After taking him in for so long, it was the first time that Ye Weixing had such a deep conversation with him.

But she felt that since he had already asked this question, it was necessary for her to explain it clearly to him, so that he would not dwell on such trivial details.

She said: "This difference seems subtle now, but it is indeed a difference. When you learn swords in the future, it will be reflected in the sword intent of the two of you."

"I just said that there are indeed differences in swordsmanship." She paused for a moment before continuing, "But there is no sword intent. Sword intent is just your understanding of the sword. Every swordsman has a different understanding of the sword. Even if I am your master, I can't teach you exactly like me."

"But what does that matter?"

"I am me, you are you, and Axue is Axue. You did not learn to practice swords to become me."

"If you all lose your understanding of swords at the end of the study, then I will be a failure."

Yuan Suiyun nodded with a vague understanding: "...um."

She added the last sentence: "So believe in your own feelings and practice. At least I think you can become a good swordsman."

……

After unraveling this apprentice who is particularly prone to overthinking, Ye Weixing went to look at the child that Chu Liuxiang brought back.

The three of them, Su Rongrong, were still in the room, and they should have directly regarded him as a younger brother.

Ye Weixing asked Chu Liuxiang: "Did Mr. Zhang say anything before he left?"

Chu Liuxiang: "He said that if there is no accident, the child will wake up tomorrow morning."

Ye Weixing: "This is a good thing."

Chu Liuxiang sighed, saying that this is not necessarily the case.

Ye Weixing: "?"

He showed Ye Weixing the wound on his hand, and said: "He is much more vicious than you imagined, and he is also very resistant to contact with people. I think he may not even realize that he is alone."

Ye Weixing: "But he has clothes on him."

If the child regarded himself as a beast and lived in the mountains all the time, how could he think of wearing clothes?

Chu Liuxiang: "This is exactly what I can't figure out."

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and finally Chu Liuxiang said: "Forget it, no matter what, we have to wait until he wakes up. I'll sleep here tonight."

Ye Weixing knew his character and had no objection to it.

"Tomorrow night, New Year's Eve, let's drink together again." She said, "It's too deserted for Lao Ji and I to drink together, but you are all having fun."

Chu Liuxiang originally wanted to say yes, but when she heard the second half of her sentence, she couldn't help laughing.

"Really? He also thinks you two are too deserted?"

"Of course." Ye Weixing nodded without hesitation.

The moment she heard this sentence of course, Chu Liuxiang really felt sympathy for her bamboo horse that she had never felt before.

While sympathizing, he also felt incredible.

More than half a year has passed, did Ji Bingyan still hold back even half of his heart?

... Isn't he afraid of suffocating?
