Embers

Trying to be brave during the day, Ember found himself dead that night, his whole body was hot and his limbs were weak, and he was lying on the bed dizzy and indescribably uncomfortable.

He had experienced this symptom himself yesterday, so he naturally knew what was going on.

His eyelids began to become heavy, and he couldn't help thinking, if he allowed it to develop, he might take his life, so how about he died?

Anyway, there are many sufferings, the existing ones, the present ones, and the unknown ones. It’s hard to go through, so why not seek relief after death?

He pursed his lips, grasped the sheet with his fingers involuntarily, opened his eyes suddenly, took a few breaths of hot air, and sat up with difficulty.

His legs and feet were limp, he gritted his teeth, and wobbled down to the ground. He leaned on the wall and walked to the door. When he opened the door, the howling cold wind made him tremble.

In the yard, under the moonlight, a tall and straight white figure was moving around with a long sword in his hand.The sword's light was overwhelming, and snowflakes flew everywhere it passed, as if dancing with the fluttering long hair.

Sensing someone, Ye Bozhou glanced away from the corner of his eye, and saw that it was his little apprentice, so he felt relieved, and with a quick movement, the long sword was sheathed with a swish.

He moved to the door, and just about to speak, the child who was only as tall as his waist fell limply on top of him.

"hot……"

Ye Bozhou subconsciously caught him, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, the scorching heat made him startled, his secret thought was terrible, and he couldn't help blaming himself: Why was he so careless as a master for the first time!People who practice martial arts have internal energy to protect their bodies so they are not afraid of the cold, but Jin'er is only a seven-year-old child!Such a freeze is naturally unbearable.

It seems that I have to trouble the sixth junior brother again.

In fact, Lin Xu might have got up qi, and it was a very serious kind.

According to Ye Bozhou's observations over the years, Lin Xu would become very gloomy every time his dream was interrupted. Although he usually looks gloomy, his eyes are often colder and sharper at this time, and his face is not only yellow, but also white, red, and black. , Even the steps are heavier and more powerful.

He really looks like a general who bears blood and deep hatred, but he is obviously just a doctor who has the spirit of getting up.

Lin Xu pushed open the door with a gloomy face, took the pulse, prescribed the medicine, and left gloomy.That speed is so fast, I'm afraid it can catch up with Hua Buyu's lightness kung fu.

Just marry the bed and be a daughter-in-law, and you won't get tired of being together every day.Ye Bozhou complained.

It was getting late, he yawned, suppressed his drowsiness, carried the pharmacy to the yard to decoct the medicine, went into the room from time to time to look at Ember, and gave him some warm water to drink.

Sure enough, it is with children.Ye Bozhou sat on the ponytail and propped his chin, thinking sleepily.

When the medicine was ready, he picked it up and sniffed it, frowned for a while, thought for a while, and went back to his room to fetch some candied fruit, and went to Ember's bed.

"Come on, Jin'er, drink some medicine." Helping the scalding child up, he scooped up a spoonful of medicine and blew it to his lips.

Ember took a sip in a daze, frowned, and refused to take another sip no matter what.

Ye Bozhou was helpless, he had never coaxed a child before, so he could only try to reason with him: "Be obedient, drink this medicine and you will get better..."

"I said I don't want to drink!"

A weak rebuke.

Ye Bozhou's eyes were fixed, he paused, and asked softly, "Whose son are you from?"

Embers seemed unheard.

Ye Bozhou tried to ask again: "Jin'er, whose family are you from?"

Ember's consciousness has already fallen into chaos, and she can't understand what he is asking at all, so naturally she can't answer his question.

Ye Bozhou stared at him fixedly, with only heavy breathing in his ears, as if the sentence just now was just his hallucination.

With a low sigh, he had no choice but to press the acupuncture point, carefully poured the medicine into his mouth, and then stuffed a candied fruit into it, and the acupuncture point was relieved.

Ye Bozhou pushed open the door, and the moon was shining brightly outside.It turned out to be almost fifteen.

Lin Xu's title of the number one genius doctor in Jianghu is obviously not groundless. After drinking a bowl of his medicine, the severe wind and cold of the embers disappeared overnight, and he woke up refreshed early in the morning.

Breakfast is simple white porridge buns, but the taste is excellent, Yu Jin follows the principle of not talking about food, doesn't say a word of nonsense, and concentrates on eating.

Ye Bozhou sat across from him, and suddenly said: "It's very cold, so it's not suitable to practice martial arts outside, and it's almost Chinese New Year, so it's not auspicious to get sick again."

Ember paused and looked at him cautiously.

Ye Bozhou couldn't help laughing: "What kind of expression do you have, as if the teacher is going to torture you."

Ember's indifferent expression seemed to be saying, don't you just like to think of various ideas to torture people?

Ye Bozhou was successfully pleased by his expression, but asked an irrelevant question: "Can you read?"

Ember nodded.

Ye Bozhou: "Then let's read some books in these days before the beginning of spring. My teacher will also teach you calligraphy and some simple inner skills. Although the collection of books for my teacher is not as rich as that of Zangshuge, it is still enough for you to read for a while. .”

With a smile, he said softly, "If there is only martial strategy but no Wentao, wouldn't you be just a man?"

Ember quite agrees with this sentence.

"After you finish reading these, let's go to Zangshu Pavilion to get what you want to see."

The Book Collection Pavilion in Xiaxianmen houses tens of thousands of volumes of books, among which there are not only martial arts works of various factions, inner skills, but also academic books such as military history. Only this family is really precious.

It is precisely because of this that Zangshu Pavilion is only open once a year, on the seventh day of May every year.

On weekdays, they each write down the books they want to read and make a book list, which will be checked by the head of the bookstore and picked up by the bookkeeper who guards the library on the day it opens.The book list remains in the hands of the bookkeeper, and it can be destroyed after the book is returned. There is no time limit for returning the book.

Under this strict and orderly management, although reading books is somewhat inconvenient, none of the books were lost.

This is also the first time in a hundred years. In the past, thieves always cared about the martial arts classics in Xiaxianmen Library, and came to steal two copies from time to time. They could not guard against the first day of the first day of the new year, but many books were lost.

Since Lu Yuzhi's successor head proposed this management method, it has become very difficult to steal books from the Library Pavilion of Xiaxianmen. Let alone stealing books, even everything you read has to be reviewed by the head of the house. .

Ember lowered his head and took a sip of porridge.

After breakfast, they went to the lobby for a meeting as usual. Ye Bozhou and Ember arrived earlier today, and Ye Bozhou sat in the front row as usual, together with other elders, while Ember found a corner by himself.

After a while, people gradually arrived, and a person sat down next to Ember, and Ember looked up, facing a white face.

Li Mei looked at him worriedly, and lowered her voice: "I heard from my master that you caught a cold last night, are you feeling alright now?"

Ember nodded expressionlessly.

Seeing that his attitude was not frustrated, Li Mei laughed again in a blink of an eye: "That's good. But speaking of it, why did you catch the cold?"

Ember looked forward, and the instigator was talking and laughing happily with Su Changjiu.Then he just threw down two cold words: "It's frozen!"

Li Mei followed his gaze, startled, couldn't help but feel sad for him, and couldn't believe it: "Fifth Master Uncle is so ruthless!"

Quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I didn't become his apprentice at the beginning."

Ember only gave him a dispensable look.

Today Lu Yuzhi is talking about the sword: "... the sword is both a weapon and a companion. If you want to achieve something in swordsmanship, you must first communicate with your sword and integrate with your sword. The direction pointed by the sword is you The direction of my heart..."

Ember couldn't help but think of Ye Bozhou's long sword: a thin blade with a faint cold light, cutting iron like mud.The jade-white carved hilt is exquisite and gorgeous.

That sword is called Jieyou.Ye Bozhou said that with a sword to seal the throat, the past will be cut off, and all the grievances and resentments will disappear, which is to relieve worries.

It is the tenth famous sword in the sword manual.

"...Swordsmanship is determined according to the characteristics of the sword and the internal strength you have cultivated. Swordsmanship is not free, every move, every move, whatever you want, handy; it is not free, stabs, chops, slashes, and has its own rules... ..."

Ember thought of Ye Bozhou's self-created Jieyou swordsmanship, flipping his wrist, slashing straight to the head, turning the long sword in a circle, slashing across the waist, and stabbing with his hand up, covering his hand with luck.The action is extremely gorgeous, and the lethality cannot be underestimated.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

After recovering, Ember stared at Li Mei with a bad expression.

Li Mei was a little hairy under his stare, and couldn't help scratching her head, "Did I offend you?"

"No."

Li Mei was just looking for something to say: "You just came to Lingyou Mountain, have you gotten used to it these two days?"

"It's okay."

"If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. I have stayed in Lingyou Mountain for two years, and I understand something."

Then I might as well ask Ye Bozhou.Emberheart said.

"Brothers, do you recognize everything?"

"Not yet." It's only been two days.

"What about the teachers and uncles?"

"almost."

"Hey, let me tell you, the master uncle looks the gentlest, but in fact he is the strictest; the sixth uncle looks the most difficult to get along with, but is actually the most talkative. The second uncle loves Drinking, I was once punished by the master uncle to copy the door rules for going to the wine cellar to steal wine; the fourth master..."

Ember didn't want to hear it at all, so she interrupted directly: "I will gradually understand these."

"Oh..." Li Mei was finally a little depressed, but Ember had a question: "Why do you always have so many things to say?"

Li Mei knew that he thought she was annoying, so she was a little embarrassed: "No, I just want to talk to you...I don't talk much to others..."

Ember finally looked at him: "Why?"

"That's right, it always feels like you have a lot of secrets."

"So you want to know my secret?"

Li Mei was nervous: "No, I'm just curious about you..."

Ember withdrew her gaze and stopped talking.

"Hey, are you angry?"

Ember's voice was deep and she couldn't detect any emotion: "I used to hear adults say that curiosity killed the cat, and it would be better for you to put away your curiosity."

Looking at this gloomy and strange child, Li Mei suddenly felt that he seemed to wrap himself in another dimension, which was incompatible with everything around him.

The author has something to say:

On Zhihu battlefield, I saw people saying that now Danmei is easy to be reported and plagiarized, so scared that I dare not post x
