The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 12
Guan Yuan left Huashan, bought dry food and water bags in Huayin County, and rushed to Luoyang alone.

All the way, eat and sleep in the open, under the sky and on the ground.Guan Yuan didn't feel tired, but began to appreciate the scenery along the way.

In early spring, the ice and snow in the Guanzhong land have just begun to melt, and there is still a feeling of chilly spring.The winter jasmine flowers on the roadside, the branches hang in a mess, and the bright and colorful flower buds are golden and dazzling.In the farms by the roadside, the ground has not completely thawed, but there is some vitality.

Guan Yuan does his best to feel the charm of nature and understand the changes of the four seasons.In the subtleties that he has not yet noticed, the veins that have not been opened up before seem to be faintly loose.

After walking like this for seven or eight days, Guan Yuan had already reached the western suburbs of Luoyang, and the city wall could be seen from a distance.He found a roadside tea shop to rest his feet, had some tea, washed his hands and face before entering the city.Guan Yuan was not in a hurry to go home, and walked around the city a few times first.

After not returning home for a long time, he bought many gifts for his family.

Bought exquisite fabrics from the Longxiang Cloth Shop in the city for my mother and aunt;

Bought a duan inkstone for my cousin Guan Xiu;
I brought some nourishing medicine for my uncle and aunt, and I didn't forget to buy a wooden nine-link toy for my younger sister Guan Qingqing.

The Guan Family Restaurant is located on the west side of the city. There is a big word "wine" written on the wine banner, and it is a small two-story building.It was noon at this time, the business in the store was good, people came and went, it was very lively.

Guan Yuan saw that the aunt and the third aunt were counting the books in front of the cabinet, and the third uncle was instructing the boy to carry the ingredients, so he put down the gift and hurried forward to salute.

"Third Uncle, Aunt, Third Aunt!"

"Ouch, it's Yuan'er who's back!"

"Quick, quick, what are you doing standing there, come in!"

"Erniu, hurry up and help Yuan'er carry the things."

Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly connected it to the backyard.Guan Yuan also went to the Buddhist hall to meet his mother.Su Shi hadn't seen her son for a long time, she held Guan Yuan's hands tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"I just said, counting the days, you should go home."

"That's not true. I said why I got up early today, and my left eye kept jumping. It turned out to be a happy event."

"In these years, you have been studying in Huashan, but you have suffered."

"Does the food on the mountain suit your appetite? Take a look, you've lost weight again, but you've also grown taller."

"You guys chat first, I'll cook some noodles, put on the horse dumplings and put on the horse noodles, that's a must."

The family sat together and talked about the daily life.

The third uncle, Guan Yi'an, has not practiced martial arts much due to a broken arm in the past few years, and his married life is very nourishing, so he seems to be getting fatter, looking like a rich man.

"Second brother, pick up, pick up~" The little doll Guan Qingqing was a little skeptical at first, hiding in the adult's arms and not daring to come out.After a while, he let go of himself and played around with everyone, insisting that Guan Yuan would pick him up.She is only three or four years old this year, and her family loves her the most.

When Guan Yuan arrived home, it was already February [-]th, a few days before the family banquet.Cousin Guan Xiu has been visiting his teacher and friends since this year, and he won the Juren, and these exchanges of friendship are indispensable.It was not until the afternoon that I received the news and hurried back home.

Guan Xiu has just turned [-] this year, looks very frail, but his eyes are firm, not at all like the lack of assertiveness when he was a child.The year before last, the third aunt told him about a marriage and got married.His wife is also from Luoyang, and the family is in the tea business, and the two families have a good relationship.The young husband and wife have a good relationship, the piano and the instrument are harmonious, and the elders are also very satisfied.Recently, my sister-in-law is also pregnant and is raising her baby at home.

After dinner, Guan Yi'an and Guan Xiu Guan Yuan sat in the courtyard and talked.

"Yuan'er, how long do you think you can stay at home this time when you go down the mountain?"

"I specially asked Master for a leave of absence. Apart from going home to visit my relatives, I also want to travel around the rivers and lakes to broaden my knowledge."

"That should be the case. It's not enough to work behind closed doors. It's also good to go out and wander around more. Back then, I also followed my father and brother to walk around, so I honed my martial arts."

"Second brother, if you go out to travel, what places do you yearn for?"

"Shimen sent me to deliver a letter in Chuanzhong, but I don't have any other ideas."

"Recently, my classmates and friends recommended me to go to Nanyang to be a master book. If you drop by, my brother and I can go together."

"Brother, are you no longer preparing for the exam? With your talent, why don't you go to Beizhili to take the exam?" Guan Yuan asked strangely.

"Hey, I know about my own family affairs. I have limited talent for reading, and it's not easy to be selected. I don't dare to think about the top three in high school. It's better to find an errand in the yamen." Guan Xiu Said, "This time there is a lack of a master book in the Nanyang County Yamen, and it was my friend who got it through a few connections."

"Are you going to Nanyang, that sister-in-law?"

"Your sister-in-law is raising a baby at home and dare not move around. I will go to Nanyang first and make plans after I gain a firm foothold. Maybe your sister-in-law will have given birth by then."

"Since your elder brother has plans, that's fine. Nanyang is not far from home, so there is still someone to take care of him." Guan Yi'an said.

Guan Yuan thought about it, then Nanyang County is not far from Xiangyang City, can you find the tomb of the sword demon Dugu Qiubai, even if you don’t have any martial arts secret books, it’s good to have a look, it’s not in vain to come to this world of martial arts walk around.

So he agreed and took office with Guan Xiu at the beginning of next month, and the two brothers also became companions on the road.

Since the two Guan Yuan brothers were going to travel far away, Guan Yi'an was worried, and told the two of his previous experience in the world and the precautions for traveling on horseback.

"Don't look at Third Uncle's big belly and most of his martial arts are crippled, but I still have eyesight. Yuan'er, you have studied martial arts in Huashan for many years, how is your martial arts now?"

Guan Yi'an asked Guan Yuan to demonstrate the swordsmanship he had learned, but Guan Yuan had to end.

He disassembled and practiced the Huashan sword technique, and put into practice all he had learned over the years.I saw the sword light billowing off the court, and the vigor was vertical and horizontal. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the power of this sword technique was extraordinary.Guan Yi'an couldn't help but sigh,

"Yuan'er, I don't know how much hard work you have put in, but this body is very handsome in martial arts! Even better than your third uncle! This swordsmanship has already entered the world, and the most valuable thing is internal strength. You are almost catching up with your grandfather's 20-year-old skill. "

"That's it, I'm relieved. Yuan'er is now comparable to a second-rate player in the Jianghu. If people know that you have achieved such an achievement at a young age, I don't know how many masters will be ashamed!"

After finishing speaking, Guan Yi'an turned and entered the room, and came out holding a long box after a while.When I opened it, it turned out to be a long sword.

I saw that the long sword in the box was more than three feet long, and the sword body was clear and shiny. Under the moonlight, it seemed that the clear autumn water stopped and did not flow.Guan Yuan took it out, flicked it with his fingers, and the sound of the sword was like a dragon chant, which lasted for a long time.You don't need to try it to know that this is a decisive, sharp and compelling sword.

"I bought this Autumn Water Sword last year from a caravan passing by at a great price. It is a good sword. I guess you will like it. It's the so-called sword that matches a hero. You take it, Yuan'er, and walk in the future." Jianghu is also good for self-defense." Guan Yi'an said.

Guan Yuan really liked it, so he didn't refuse.Holding it in my hand and feeling it, the Qiushui sword is just right in weight, and the front and rear center of gravity are also right. It can be held in the palm of my hand and can be swung freely.On a whim, Guan Yuan took the sword and danced, singing while dancing:
Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, Wu Goushuang Xueming.

The silver saddle illuminates the white horse, rustling like a meteor.

Kill ten people in ten steps, and stay in a thousand miles.

Hello.

Leisurely drink Xinling, take off the sword knee and cross.

Will Zhi Zhu Hai, hold on to persuade Hou Ying.

Three cups of Turanuo, Wuyue is light.

After the dazzling ears are hot, the mood is suddenly born.

Rescue Zhao Huijin gavel, HD was shocked first.

Qianqiu two strong men, Xuhe Daliang city.

It is not ashamed to be a hero in the world.

Who can book your Excellency, the Baishou Taixuan Sutra.

After that, the night was dark, and the three of them went back to their houses.Guan Yuan returned to the room, carefully put away the Qiushui sword, and began to practice daily with unchanging luck.He knows that the practice of inner strength is the most long-term, and the effect can be seen only by accumulating every day.
