Nine thoughts of a gentleman in comprehensive martial arts

Night in the desert is more dangerous than daytime. There are nocturnal poisonous scorpions and poisonous snakes everywhere. They are buried under the yellow sand and are easy to escape. When they appear, they appear in groups and jump out of the sand. , enough to gnaw a nine-foot man into bones in an instant.Rao Ye Jiusi and Ye Ying are strong in martial arts, and they can't ignore this kind of devil in the desert. Fortunately, with a map in hand, it is still possible to find a safe place to rest, as long as the tent is not set up on the scorpion. Above the nest, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Ye Jiusi decided to rest at the edge of the oasis, right next to a small water pool, and there were green and tender grass growing on the ground.After Ye Jiusi set up the tent, he took out the boiler and started cooking. The ingredients he took out from his backpack were as fresh as if they had just been picked. vegetables, I'm afraid I'll be stunned.

The wind and sand would disturb people so that they couldn't eat at all. Ye Jiusi set up the windshield and brought the food into the tent.

Even the improvised tents were astonishingly large, more than enough for two or three beds.Ye Jiusi put the food on the table. Seeing Ye Ying sitting quietly with her eyes closed, she couldn't help but lower her voice and said in a low voice, "Master? Master? Have you eaten, are you okay?"

She knelt down on one knee, held Ye Ying's hand on her knee with both hands, and asked with concern.Ye Ying seemed to have just come back to her senses, she raised her eyebrows, and without taking out her hand, she stretched out her other hand to pat Ye Jiusi's head, and said softly, "I'm fine as a teacher, it's just...something not so good. Premonition."

Ye Ying pursed her lips, her beautiful lips were pursed into a straight line, showing a kind of resolute spirit.When Ye Jiusi heard this, her heart suddenly turned cold. Martial arts practitioners are very sensitive to danger, just like she had premonitions about Luoyang before, and these premonitions can often prevent them from falling into a bigger crisis. in crisis.Now that Ye Ying said that there is a premonition of danger, Ye Jiusi will not doubt it at all. If Ye Ying still feels the danger with Ye Ying's strength, it is really a big crisis. Omissions.

Her heart was as complicated as silk, but Ye Jiusi suddenly felt warmth on the back of her hand. When she looked up, she saw Ye Ying put the other hand on hers. The slender and strong palm almost wrapped both of her hands, which made her feel so uncomfortable. Extraordinary sense of security.Ye Jiusi was slightly startled, but saw Ye Ying showing a calm smile, with snow-colored hair hanging down his temples, handsome and gentle: "Don't be afraid."

Ye Ying closed her eyelashes, and said lightly, "Your teacher is here."

"...Yeah." Ye Jiusi closed his eyes and responded with a light smile.

The next day, the two continued to go deep into the desert. The journey was uneventful, and they did not encounter disasters such as scorpion tides or sandstorms. However, not only Ye Ying, but also Ye Jiusi had an ominous premonition. The passage of time becomes more and more obvious.Ye Jiusi felt uneasy, fearing that the two would be separated, she divided all the supplies into two, gave one to Ye Ying, and kept the other for herself. Pinned one to Ye Ying, just in case.

Even so, Ye Jiusi never thought that with the strength of himself and his master, he would need to use this mechanism, the flying claw.

The two were cautious again and again, avoiding all possible dangerous areas on the map, but neither of them thought that the danger would be so overwhelming.

Ye Ying realized something was wrong the moment her inner breath swelled and vibrated, and the two of them quickly turned over from the camel and got off the ground.The surroundings were calm, but the inner breath in the body boiled like boiling water, and even became uncontrollable.The two were trying to adjust their breath to suppress the out-of-control internal force, but found that the internal force disappeared in an instant after boiling for just a few dozen seconds.

It wasn't blocked, but it really disappeared, and there was nothing in the dantian.Ye Jiusi is very familiar with this feeling. It was like this when Ye Ying chose to let her stand up after she was murdered by Gongsun Lan.For those who practice martial arts, the most painful thing is not death but the abolishment of martial arts. The feeling of being pulled down from the altar in an instant is not an exaggeration to say that life is worse than death.At this moment, Ye Ying and Ye Jiusi could clearly feel such a gap, their bodies lost strength, and they could not use lightness kung fu. Although the hand holding the sword was steady and powerful, it was far from the previous half level of lethality.

If it were an ordinary person, not to mention collapsed on the spot, it was inevitable that they would be at a loss.

But Ye Jiusi and Ye Ying are both people who have broken through the masters. Ye Jiusi only frowned when he found the abnormality, and Ye Ying's expression didn't change a bit, and he still looked calm and breezy.

Without internal strength, there is sword energy, there is no martial arts, and there is a sword in hand, no matter what danger they will face, they are fearless.

There was a sudden tremor, and there was thick water vapor in the air. Ye Jiusi only felt unsteady, as if something was affecting her mood, which was extremely dangerous.Without hesitation, Ye Jiusi raised his sword and slashed at his arm. The pain could prevent her from being easily distracted, at least not to become a burden to her master.

The water vapor is getting thicker and thicker, but there is still no movement around.Ye Ying felt that the situation was wrong, so she took a small step towards the side.

With a soft sound of "sand", Ye Ying seemed to step into a block of tofu, half of her boots sank.The surrounding sand began to sink, turning and flowing slowly like a vortex. Under the seemingly calm sand surface was a turbulent and dangerous undercurrent, like a devil's bloody mouth, trying to swallow the two of them completely.

"Quicksand!" Ye Jiusi was startled, and raised his voice, "Master! Go!"

If sandstorms are the most feared natural disaster in the desert, then the most treacherous and difficult to guard against is undoubtedly this natural death trap - quicksand.

This is a natural trap formed by the mixture of groundwater and sand and mud. The range of quicksand has always been very large, and if a person is trapped in quicksand, he can only watch himself being swallowed by quicksand bit by bit, and it will be useless to take any measures.Because once the human body falls into the quicksand, the sand and mud will solidify instantly, and it takes hundreds of kilograms of strength to pull a person out of the quicksand.Not to mention whether ordinary people have such terrifying strength, but not many people can bear this strength, which is completely enough to tear a grown man into two pieces.

If they still have lightness kung fu, they will naturally not be afraid of these things. Floating duckweeds across water and traveling thousands of miles a day are no problem, so why be afraid of this little quicksand?But the most worrying thing is that both of them have lost their martial arts at this time, and the area of ​​quicksand is so large, it may not be easy to escape.Ye Jiusi was about to leave, but found that it was a bit late, the sand under his feet had already started to sink, like flowing water.

Ye Jiusi immediately took out the epee from the backpack and threw it out. The epee lay flat on the quicksand not far away, and Ye Jiusi shouted: "Master, go up quickly."

Although Ye Ying lost her martial arts, her strength and skill were still there. She easily jumped onto the epee and stretched out her hand towards Ye Jiusi.But Ye Jiusi didn't dare to go up. An epee sword could barely balance the weight of a person. If another person was added, he might not be able to bear it at all, and it would be self-defeating.Fortunately, there were a lot of weapons stored in the backpack, and Ye Jiusi threw out an epee again, because the act of throwing the epee twice in a row caused her feet to sink deeply into the sand, and she put both hands on the epee, Struggling to free myself from the quicksand.

"Si'er?!" Seeing that Ye Jiusi didn't hand over her hand, Ye Ying called out in a stern tone.

"Master, my apprentice is fine! You have to be careful!" Seeing that she was sinking deeper and deeper, Ye Jiusi secretly thought that something was wrong, put one hand on the epee to try to stop herself from sinking, and pulled out the flying claw from her waist with the other hand, Aim at a stone rock in the distance, and buckle the mechanism.The flying claw burst out, the huge momentum and the sharpness of the claw made the flying claw deep into the rock, and Ye Jiusi sank three points again because of the recoil.

The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer Ye Jiusi became. If he didn't save himself at this time, it would be too late.

"Master, take the backpack, and there are dozens of models of heavy swords in it. You pull this rope, throw the heavy sword in the quicksand in front, and walk out along the rope!" The quicksand sank very fast, almost Quickly form a fluid vortex visible to the naked eye.It seemed as if something was collapsing under the ground, Ye Jiusi was already submerged in the sand up to her knees, she was anxious and only wanted to let Ye Ying out first.She clutched the Luohua green velvet bag in her hand, and stretched it towards Ye Ying, her eyes were full of expectation, as if what she handed over was the hope of life, who could protect the person she kept in her heart.

Ye Ying didn't answer it, he stood on the epee, looked down at her slightly, and said firmly: "What about you?"

Ye Jiusi was taken aback for a moment, and realized that what Ye Ying asked was what should she do?She smiled subconsciously, but suddenly remembered that Ye Ying couldn't see, so she could only try her best to calmly say: "Teacher pulls the rope on this side. After the master goes out, he helps disciple to pull the other end of the rope. Although the quicksand is solidified, disciple I can make it muddy with water, and I can get away naturally, so I will trouble the master to take care of the apprentice."

There was no tremor in Ye Jiusi's words, as if she had a plan in mind, but in fact, she didn't dare to guarantee that she would be able to escape.

She no longer has martial arts, and she needs a lot of water to soften the solidified quicksand.But at this moment, the speed of the quicksand sinking was extremely fast, and she was not sure that she could save herself before being completely submerged. Even if she escaped, she might not be able to walk out of this quicksand area smoothly. All the heavy swords she handed to Ye Ying were just enough for him to get out , but in the process of her self-rescue, will these heavy swords be swallowed by the sand or change their positions?As long as she lacks the carrying capacity of an epee, she may fall into the trap of quicksand again.

But as long as Master can go out, it will be worth it.

The supplies in the Luohuabirong bag are enough for Master to walk out of the desert.

It's not that Ye Jiusi doesn't want to live. In fact, if he can live, who would want to die?

But at the most critical juncture, if she is destined to only live one, she would rather use her own broken body to exchange for the safety and security of her master.

Ye Ying stared fixedly at Ye Jiusi, Ye Jiusi smiled, stretched out her hand, and waited motionlessly for Ye Ying to come to pick it up.After a while, Ye Yingcai slowly squatted down and reached out her hand towards Ye Jiusi.Ye Jiusi thought that Ye Ying had figured it out, a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes, she leaned slightly again, trying to get close to Ye Ying, she was completely sunk in the sand below her waist, she could only bend down, and held up the purse in her hand.

"Kick-"

Ye Ying suddenly jumped on top of the epee that Ye Jiusi was supporting, bent over, and embraced the stunned Ye Jiusi.

The cool and elegant cold plum fragrance overflows the throat, and the cheeks can feel the smoothness of the fabric and the body temperature transmitted through the fabric, which is warm and nostalgic.Ye Ying wrapped one arm around her waist and slightly clasped her neck with the other, pressing her into his arms.With great strength, he hugged her tightly and firmly in his arms.

Ye Jiusi withdrew his outstretched hand in a daze, clutching his purse, with a dazed expression.

She heard Ye Ying whisper in her ear: "Si'er, you've lied to me as a teacher again."

"No." Ye Jiusi also heard himself reply calmly, "I didn't lie to you, Master."

"This sentence is also deceiving me as a teacher." Ye Ying's voice was also very calm, not as calm as at a critical moment of life and death, but as if admiring the flowers and moon in the pavilion, "Si'er, I understand you as a teacher. "

Ye Jiusi knew Ye Ying better than Ye Ying herself, and Ye Ying also knew Ye Jiusi better than Ye Jiusi knew herself.He knows what kind of person she is, knows how she will react to various situations, and can easily judge her emotions from every word she says. Ye Jiusi can fool everyone in the world, but only But Ye Ying.

"Have you been lying to be a teacher all this time?"

"It's a lie to say that we want to be together, it's a lie to say that we have to face no matter what dangers we face together, it's a lie to say that we want to go home together? Time and time again, does Si'er always feel that this is right? Being a teacher is good, I think this is because I care about the teacher, so I always leave the danger to myself and the hope to the teacher, regardless of the feeling of the teacher, no matter what the teacher thinks, as long as the teacher can live, everything will be fine. Doesn't matter?"

"My teacher never lied to you. Every word of my teacher is an oath. What about you? After the promise, you cheat. You let me live, but let me see you in danger with my own eyes."

"Why - let the teacher witness his incompetence again and again?"

Ye Ying's words were understated, his hand holding Ye Jiusi was still steady, and his expression was calm.However, Ye Jiusi felt as if a ball of hot cotton had been stuffed in her throat, which was both clogged and hot, making her almost speechless.She was buried in Ye Ying's embrace, his embrace was so warm, but Ye Jiusi's heart was indescribably cold.

What can she say?sorry?I was wrong?

The bitterly suppressed feelings were like a torrent breaking a bank, instantly breaking down the wall of Ye Jiusi's heart, obliterating the picturesque beauty of the fertile soil, and shattering the whole world, turning them into ashes.But the powder turned into bright stars, blended into the lingering moonlight, and slowly flowed through the devastated ruins, full of ruined and desperate beauty.

At the last moment, she had a lot of things she wanted to say to him, but in the end, the thousand words turned into one sentence, whispering softly in his ear:

"Master, I beg you, please go."

She hugged Ye Ying with her backhand, and closed her eyes with some attachment, but in the end she still pressed Ye Ying's shoulder, trying to push him away.

"Infusion, I will pull you out for the teacher." Ye Ying knelt down, but hugged Ye Jiusi even tighter, and said lightly, "Si'er, you'd better hurry up, or none of us will be able to leave."

Ye Ying's rare threatening words almost made Ye Jiusi cry, there was nothing Ye Jiusi could do about Ye Ying's stubborn old problem at this time.Ye Jiusi, who knew how terrifying Ye Ying's rise was, didn't dare to delay at all. He took out a large amount of water from his backpack and poured it on the sand under him. Ye Jiusi suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"...Master." Ye Jiusi's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of astringency.

"Huh?" Ye Ying tried to lift Ye Jiusi out of the slightly muddy sand, but it was obviously not successful.

The speed of the lower limit of the sand was getting faster and faster, Ye Ying didn't want to leave, she didn't want to leave Ye Jiusi alone, but Ye Jiusi was already deep in the mud and couldn't get out of the quagmire.Seeing that both of them might be buried here, Ye Jiusi was so angry that her eyes were red. She hugged Ye Ying tightly, nestled in his arms, and said loudly: "Master! If I can go back alive, I will definitely want to marry you in the future." Better than you!"

"Well, yes." Ye Ying patted the head of Ye Jiusi, who was buried in her arms, and comforted him calmly.

Ye Jiusi gritted his teeth, and buried him even tighter: "Next time you will be a wayward apprentice, I will throw you out! I'm serious! I will definitely throw you out!"

Ye Ying: "...OK."

Ye Ying's faint reply was drowned out by the huge sound of the collapse, and Ye Jiusi couldn't help but close his eyes due to the sudden blowing of sand and dust. Then the feeling of weightlessness came, and Ye Jiusi could only feel the sand being buried down crazily. Falling down in a controlled manner.The strong sense of weightlessness and the danger of being homeless in the air made Ye Jiusi hug Ye Ying tightly subconsciously. The sound of the sand flowing, the roar of the collapse, and the moment the buried sand completely covered the sky, Ye Jiusi saw Ye Yingqing faintly. With a distant expression, and snow-colored hair fluttering in the air.

Should have been afraid, should have been afraid...

But seeing Ye Ying's calm expression, Ye Jiusi suddenly felt his heart become quiet.

After going through so many ups and downs, and experiencing so many times of life and death, is this also a kind of "death and life are broad, and Zicheng talks"?

Ye Jiusi closed his eyes, listening to the whistling wind in his ears, the sky whirled for a while.Ye Jiusi only felt her and Ye Ying's positions switch instantly, her eyes widened in astonishment, and she wanted to raise her head, but Ye Ying held her head firmly.Guessing what Ye Ying did, Ye Jiusi almost had no time to think about it, and could only reach out to protect his back.

There was a loud bang, and Ye Jiusi only heard Ye Ying's muffled groan, and a sharp pain that almost dislocated her internal organs hit her, and she lost consciousness instantly.

The author has something to say: The author is back!Do you miss the author?Do the author miss you guys~~(づ￣3￣)づ

Resuming the update from today, I am really sorry for making everyone wait for so long QAQ

The author's condition is too lingering, soldiers come like a mountain, and the disease disappears like a silk thread. The upper respiratory tract infection directly turned into bronchitis. Fortunately, I finally suppressed it. Although I have a little cough now, it is close to recovery..._( :зゝ∠)_

It's really scary. I'm sick and it's just a cold snap. Without a hot water bottle, the author feels that I can't stand it...

The feeling of being unable to type with frozen hands is quite sour, I really don’t want to experience it again!

In this chapter, Xiao Jiuer and the male god lived and died together again!The author has been searching for a long time, but he couldn’t find any suitable poems. Finally, he came up with the phrase “beat the drums”. Haha, although it describes the friendship in battle, it’s not too wrong to use it to describe it~~~

Xiao Jiu'er's heart is broken, master, can you stop being so capricious!Believe it or not, I will bite you!

Well, writing this chapter was very difficult. It took me a long time to write it, and I revised it several times, because the author is a little bit unsure about the mental state of the male god at this time.I thought about many possibilities. How would Ye Ying react to Xiao Jiuer's self-sacrificing behavior?Distressed?move?pity?

But after thinking about it for a long time, I think that the male god's anger should overwhelm everything.He is not the kind of person who waits for others to save him, the male god has always been the one to protect, and in his heart, Xiao Jiuer is also the one he wants to protect.If you can't protect the person you want to protect, the first reaction in your heart should be to blame yourself, but for Xiao Jiu'er's protection at the expense of herself, Ye Ying is definitely angry.

Angry at her not cherishing herself, angry at her contempt for her own life——Ye Ying is a teacher, and these emotions from the perspective of elders are bound to exist.But his feelings for Xiao Jiu'er were mixed with some inexplicable subtleties, so it was another kind of anger.

The actions of the male god and Xiao Jiu'er are actually the way of protection. Xiao Jiu'er is protecting Ye Ying in her own way. She is weaker than Ye Ying, so she chooses to keep danger by her side as much as possible and keep hope. For Ye Ying, this is a guardian above the status of the weak.And Ye Ying, who is much stronger than Xiao Jiu'er, shields her disciple from wind and rain, and eliminates all disasters for her, and is Ye Ying's guardian above the status of a strong person.Although there are differences between the two, they are all out of sincerity in the final analysis, not to say that Xiao Jiu'er despises his own life, but that in times of crisis, Xiao Jiu'er will put Ye Ying before himself.

In the previous article, the author Jun repeatedly emphasized that the agreement of "together" is not simply to increase ambiguity or warm daily life, but a real promise and oath - the male god and Xiao Jiuer should stand shoulder to shoulder and face each other together. In the face of wind and rain, they have to become each other's half body, and they will become husband and wife in the future. They will be implicated for a lifetime, and they will never be able to let go of the broken bond.

As for Xiao Jiu'er, even though he has the strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with the male god, he has been unable to position himself properly.The author thinks, to untie the bell, one must tie the bell, right?So the male god scolded Xiaojiu'er severely for waking up. For the male god, abandoning the belief of guardianship and losing his own way of swordsmanship is probably more terrifying than death.He could never accept that his disciple died for him, so he could not accept Xiao Jiuer's "guardianship of the weak".

The current Xiaojiuer will gradually develop this kind of self-awareness—the author doesn’t want Xiaojiuer to treat Ye Ying as a god for the rest of his life. If Xiaojiuer worships Ye Ying as a god, then it has nothing to do with stupid fans like us Are horses different? (Ni Zoukai) Husband and wife are each other's half body, they are people who will accompany each other for the rest of their lives. Ye Ying has already realized this. He began to respect and treat Xiao Jiu'er with the same status. Shackles, alas, this is another long process. ┑(￣▽￣)┍

Pfft, after analyzing it, I actually talked so much, but I still hope everyone can take a look at it patiently... Cover your face (/▽╲)

Xiao Jiu'er is so cute when being hugged and covering her face~~~ Goddess of God, don't you respect facial paralysis? Why do you still keep your face calm at this time!

I'm not kidding, I'm serious, although Ye Ying is my male god, I love him deeply, but I still want to complain about what I should complain about! ! !

God!

You.Why.What.Spicy.What.Difficult.Female ticket! ! !

Intuition tells me that if you don’t have some ups and downs, you and Xiao Jiu’er are likely to be “accompanied for a lifetime” like this!One does not marry and the other does not marry, but the kind of "accompaniment for a lifetime" that they will never talk about in their whole life! ! !

Holding my heart, I feel so sad, Xiao Jiuer can persist until the male god treats you differently... It's really heartbreaking!

Finally, I love you guys~~~
