Chapter 68: The Accustomed Rivers and Lakes Enmity (+1)

The world is so quiet in the morning.

The drizzle accumulates along the slope of the tiled roof, and then drips down along the eaves, as if you can hear the sound of it breaking. The bluestone slabs at the door have already been washed clean, and dripped out of a row of shallow pits, exposing the bluestone slabs. In its purest nature, if you don't look carefully, you might think the rain has stopped.

Song You finally opened his eyes.

The swordsman in the room was still sitting against the wall, his legs were stretched out, and the long sword was placed casually on his legs, which seemed to be a very comfortable posture. And he still kept his eyes open, looking at himself, fine bloodshot eyes could be seen in his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night, but he was full of energy.

Seeing him wake up, the swordsman lowered his gaze, glanced at his legs, and asked:

"Aren't your legs sore after sitting cross-legged all night?"

"acid."

Song You replied directly.

On the contrary, the swordsman was a little surprised.

I thought that even if it wasn't a negative answer, it would be a vague answer like "get used to it", but I didn't expect it to be so direct.

"Sir, you often sit cross-legged, why haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

"Just sit cross-legged occasionally."

"Occasionally?"

"yes."

"I don't know when to sit cross-legged?"

"Sit cross-legged when it's time to sit cross-legged."

"..."

The swordsman didn't ask any more questions. He just stood up and saluted with his sword in his arms. His attitude changed slightly from last night: "Mr. After thinking about it, I think it’s time to say goodbye to Mr.

"It's a serious word." Song You said lightly, "It's fate to meet you. We met last night, and the demeanor of your step surprised me. Isn't it my luck?"

"Why don't you call yourself poor?"

"got used to……"

Song You replied truthfully, and took another look at the young swordsman, thinking it was interesting: "Your step is not a taciturn person, why did you deliberately indifferent yesterday?"

"If there is negligence, please forgive me, sir."

"I have something on my mind."

"Not worth mentioning."

"Tangled minds, shackles, and precocious youth are not necessarily a good thing." Song You said, "Except for the one in the coffin, who else is more suitable than a Taoist priest who happened to meet in the mountains?"

"..."

The swordsman hesitated for a moment in silence before clasping his fists again:

"Dare to ask Mr. up and down."

"My surname is Song, my name is You, and my name is Menglai. I'm from Yishan, Lingquan County, Yizhou. I don't have a Daoist name yet."

"Why did you go down the mountain, sir?"

"Travel the world."

"Walking in the rivers and lakes, where are you going?"

"Go to Pingzhou first, and then go to the capital."

"Shu Yifan, please be polite."

"Polite."

The young swordsman sat down again, with his long sword still across his knees and his waist straight.

The two looked at each other.

"Shu has been holding back on something for twenty years, and now it's almost time to end it, but unexpectedly, the closer it gets, the more it's stuck in his throat, his heart is entangled, he's afraid of failure, like he's suffering from a serious illness." The swordsman showed a distressed expression. Contrary to his free and easy demeanor yesterday, "If this continues, I'm afraid I will really fail."

Then he looked at Song You:

"But in the past twenty years, I have never told anyone about this matter."

"I'm just a hermit in the mountains, traveling all over the world, seeing the world with my eyes, and cultivating my heart." Song You understood what he meant, and said, "I'll use the next story as my experience today."

"Sir, do you know that there is a famous person in the Jianghu in Zhaozhou, named Lin Dehai, who is called the Broken Mountain Sword in the Jianghu. Dao crossed the entire Dayan River and Lake, only tied three times, and never lost. After returning to Zhaozhou, he was known as the number one sword in the world. He only listened to the voice of opposition, but no one dared to come to him." The swordsman seemed to be talking about a very familiar Every time a person speaks a sentence, the frown between his brows will dissipate, "This person's sword skills are fierce, and he opens and closes. When he fights, he will never admit defeat, but others are like swords. He is also bold and proud, generous, and a peerless swordsman, who is regarded as a hero by countless people in the world, and an idol in their hearts."

"Zhaozhou is too far away, not to mention I don't know anything about Jianghu." Song You replied.

"Sir, you don't know much about Jianghu, do you think you have heard about the grievances in Jianghu?" The swordsman shook his head, "It's nothing more than who killed who, who made grievances with whom, there are many such stories, true or false. False, but people in Jianghu still like to hear and spread this kind of stories the most."

"I heard that the scholar said something similar."

"Twenty years ago, Lin Dehai had a feud with my father. It didn't work out several times. One night, he got drunk and killed my whole family with a cold iron knife, while I watched from the sidelines. "The swordsman's eyes became more and more calm, and he even brought a smile to his mouth when he said this, "This kind of thing is often heard in stories, but in the real arena, few people can be truly cruel to this extent At that time, it shocked the whole Jianghu."

"How did you escape with one step?"

"Escaped a catastrophe? Heh..."

"Is not it?"

"no."

The young swordsman's eyes narrowed slightly, as if lost in memory: "Lin Dehai is a peerless swordsman, he claims to be invincible, he is proud, and he looks down on the world after drinking. How could he kill a child?"

"He let you go?"

"I'm standing by the side..." The young swordsman smiled and shook his head, "Not only did he let me go, but after he finished killing someone, he also told me that his name was Lin Dehai and he was from Hanjiangmen of Zhaozhou. It's best for the empress to seek revenge on him, from what the husband sees, isn't he stupid?"

"It could be something else."

"In the next twenty years, I often heard about his deeds, and I often dreamed of him." The young swordsman raised his head and smiled, "Haha! In my opinion, his knife is probably the best in the world. There is no one in the world. He can even be called a hero in the Jianghu!"

"So I'm going to take revenge."

"Exactly."

"What do you think the outcome will be?"

"Although Shu is young, he practiced hard every day. One day's hard work is better than others' two days. The time of practicing swords is no less than that of most Jianghu predecessors." The young swordsman was calm and rational. The Jianghu sect did not come, almost all the Jianghu sects came, more than half of the Jianghu masters gathered, on the Yanxian Terrace, I had the audacity to pick a lot, and I met a lot, in my opinion, there are not many people in this Jianghu who can rival You can beat this sword in my hand."

"Your step is truly a peerless swordsman."

"However, there are many disciples of the Hanjiang Sect, and there are many masters in the world. If Lin Dehai is the only one..." The swordsman shook his head and smiled, "I said that I have a 70% chance of winning, but others will not believe it."

Song You nodded, willing to believe.

The swordsman in front of him is not half-baked, on the contrary, he defeated countless masters at the Liujiang Conference, including young heroes and experienced seniors, no matter what, he has already reached the pinnacle of martial arts, and he is a master figure in his line . In addition, revenge is not a trivial matter, it must be paid special attention to, multiple investigations, careful calculations, not only can't be arrogant, prudent ones even have to leave a little more leeway, he really knows Lin Dehai's ability, respects him as the world's number one swordsman, and dares to say A 70% chance of winning should be rational enough.

At this time, the swordsman shook his head again: "It is very difficult to retaliate with an eye for an eye."

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.

Song You repeated a sentence in his heart, and felt a strong smell of blood from this seemingly plain sentence.

"I only have a 10% chance of winning."

As the swordsman said, he stood up with his sword in his hand, and seemed to be about to leave. He finally asked Song You, "Since Mr. is an expert, is there such a thing as reincarnation in this world?"

"What is the reincarnation response?"

"what goes around comes around."

"What do you want to ask?"

"think……"

The swordsman turned his head to look at the sky outside, wondering for a moment:

"I do not know either……"

"I have never seen reincarnation, but I have seen retribution a few times, but it feels more like a coincidence."

"That is no more."

"No."

"How to say?"

"Although doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, I dare not say that there will be blessings in the next life. Even if there is, how much has it to do with you in this life? You dare not say that you have righteousness. Even if you do, it will be difficult for you to stand out from everyone. It can make your heart happy, it is a very pure joy, you have nothing to lose, your heart is calm and your thoughts are naturally accessible, so you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Even if you are occasionally contaminated with depression, it will naturally fade away." Song You Staring at him, he said, "You should know that it is easy to do evil but difficult to do good. The hearts of those who do evil are often not as strong as those who do good."

The swordsman stood still, thinking slowly.

"Thank you sir for your advice."

"Everyone will say that."

"After talking about my thoughts, I felt a lot more at ease." The young swordsman cupped his hands with him, "It's just that this story is so common in Jianghu, I'm afraid it's boring to listen to sir."

"it's not true."

"In any case, thank you sir, Shu is leaving, so let's take my leave. If you feel that you are destined for me, please wish me back alive."

"Walk slowly."

Song You only said this.

Although he and Lin Dehai had never met each other before, he and this young swordsman had just met, and neither of them knew each other well. He was just a listener, so he should only be a listener.

Think it will be another major event in the world by then, right?

It's a shame to be able to witness it with your own eyes.

The swordsman didn't care, he carried his bag and stepped out of the threshold.

But as soon as he took a step, he stopped and looked back, looked at the fire in the house, and then at the firewood in the corner of the room: "The firewood you used to light the fire last night, sir, was taken from the house?"

"Since I got the firewood, I should make up for it. Just go ahead."

"Also!"

The swordsman went to lead the horse under the eaves, but did not look back: "That Lin Dehai has been obsessed with martial arts all his life, has never married a wife, and has only one son under his knees, which was also brought back from outside. This matter has nothing to do with Mr."

Song You froze for a moment, then shook his head.

This is not too necessary.

The swordsman left quickly, leaving only a knot in his heart and his peerless demeanor of slaying ghosts at night.

"The affairs of the rivers and lakes..."

Song You shook his head and murmured, but he didn't rush away, he just took out the yellow paper and cinnabar from the quilt bag, drew a new talisman, and put it on the door of the Yizhuang, waiting until the rain stopped outside After looking at the remaining pile of firewood at the foot of the wall in the house, he got up and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going, priest?"

"Get some firewood to dry in the shade."

"Don't go!"

"Why?"

Sanhuamao came out quickly, raised its head and said to him, "Since I got the firewood, I should fill it up!"

It was very similar to his tone just now.

"then you go."

Song You smiled, then sat down again, raised the fire again, and prepared to boil some hot water.

After the little girl ran out and came back several times, she made up the firewood for the fire last night and this morning, and Song You ate with hot water, and finally packed her luggage, waiting for Yan'er to explore the road When he came back, he told him about the villages, cities and scenery in front of him, and then he took the horse away.

It was in the same direction as the young swordsman.

It's just one front and one back, one person's footsteps are in a hurry, and the drizzle is falling into a dream with a sword, and the other is not in a hurry, walking slowly in straw sandals to see the common people.

I only heard a mountain bird chirping behind the house, the sound was clear and clear, without any noise, and the horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone slab, and the echo was faint, which only made the world after the rain even more silent.

Calculating the time, it was nearly mid-February.

Half spring break.
