I lost my brother

When Sui Jian woke up the next day, she felt refreshed.Compared to him, Guan Yuxiao can only be described as miserable.

This honest child took Xie Hanzi's words as a standard, and refused to eat if he was not allowed to eat. Not only did he not eat, but he also faced the wall and thought about it all night, which caused his eyes to be black and blue, and his little face was even more pale.

When Sui Jian saw Guan Yuxiao, she greeted him habitually. In his eyes, Guan Yuxiao was just a pampered and spoiled young master. Treat him like a child and don't really take it to heart.

I thought he would be ignored as usual, but Guan Yuxiao returned the gift awkwardly.

"I blamed my ignorance earlier and almost hurt my senior brother. Yu Xiao has deeply reflected on her behavior last night. In the future, she will definitely respect her teacher. I hope that my senior brother will have a lot of people. Forgive me this time."

He arched his hands and bowed his body, showing full sincerity, as if Sui Jian would not get up unless Sui Jian forgave him.

Sui Jian was almost overwhelmed by flattery, and hurriedly said: "Get up, I'm not angry with you."

He lifted Guan Yuxiao's arm and said with a smile: "Then let's get along well, junior brother."

Guan Yuxiao showed a slightly shy smile, and the atmosphere between the seniors and brothers had never been more relaxed and harmonious.

Xie Hanzi came slowly with a small flagon in one hand and two books in the other. Seeing that the two disciples seemed to be getting along well, he said with satisfaction, "It's still useful to have a hungry meal."

He handed the two books in his hand to Sui Jian and Guan Yuxiao respectively, "This is the inner strength method I selected based on your own conditions, you can practice according to it, and feel free to ask me any questions .”

After he finished speaking, he walked to the stone table under the locust tree, sat on a stone bench casually, poured wine and drank by himself.

Sui Jian opened the book in his hand, it was a little thicker than Guan Yuxiao's, one page was full of pictures and the other page was words, more pictures than words, and most of the words were recognizable.It seems that Xie Hanzi deliberately chose a way to take care of his limited literacy.He practiced according to the pictures in the book.

Guan Yuxiao's situation is better. He has stayed in Wuwangzong for two years anyway, and he has come into contact with some internal skills and mental methods, but he has not yet formed a system.Xie Hanzi gave him more words than pictures, so he walked aside silently and began to study the mind method.

The golden locust tree leaves all over the ground were swept away by people, a mischievous wind blew and knocked down some golden leaves and rained down. The three masters and apprentices each had their own things to do, and Qingfengju was quiet and peaceful for a while.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, autumn quietly leaves the stage, winter yawns and comes lazily, and a little hoarfrost condenses on the bare branches of the old locust tree.

Sui Jian followed the content of the mental method for more than three months, and finally he was able to master the entire mental method by heart.

On this day, Xie Hanzi sat down on a small stone bench with a small pot of warm wine as usual. Sui Jian walked over with the mind book and asked cautiously, "Master, what should I do after studying the content in the book?"

He hesitated now like a child.

Xie Hanzi was resting his eyes with his eyes closed, when he heard the words, he opened one eye slightly, "You know it?"

"more or less."

Sui Jian's fingers unconsciously rolled up the corner of the page, but he still couldn't find a way to get along with Xie Hanzi. Although Xie Hanzi sat in the yard almost every day for the past three months so that they could ask questions at any time, in order not to bother Xie Hanzi, Sui Jian The place where he ran the most was Zangshuge, and the people who caused the most trouble were Tang Yishu and Jiang Yang.

"Practice and let me see."

Guan Yuxiao stopped and looked at them curiously. Sui Jian exhaled a breath of cold air, slowly calmed down, and showed Xie Hanzi his achievements in the past three months one by one.

At first, the movements were a little tense and stiff, but as the moves progressed, Sui Jian's movements became smoother and smoother.He felt a warm current extending from his stomach to his limbs, his whole body became warmer, and his body became more relaxed, as if something was about to fly out of his body.

Xie Hanzi was just watching casually at first, but his eyes gradually became serious, and the last hint of amazement flowed out of his eyes.

Sure enough, he saw the right person. The first time he saw Sui Jian in the restaurant in Luanfeng City, he knew that this person must be extraordinary.

After Sui Jian finished practicing a whole set of movements, she was a little out of breath, and looked at Xie Hanzi with bright eyes full of expectation.

Xie Hanzi nodded and said, "Not bad."

After affirming, Xie Hanzi stood up and said to Guan Yuxiao, "You continue to practice." He turned his head to Sui Jian and said, "Come with me."

Sui Jian subconsciously glanced at Guan Yuxiao, feeling his envy that was so strong that it was about to turn into substance, touched the tip of her nose unnaturally, and followed Xie Hanzi's back closely.

Xie Hanzi walked in front without making a sound, and Sui Jian didn't ask where he was going, but stared at Xie Hanzi's spotless boots with his head down.

The master is really amazing, he thought to himself, there has just been a frost in the past few days, the ground is wet and muddy, but Xie Hanzi's shoes are always so clean and always look like new.

Xie Hanzi stopped, Sui Jian looked up and looked around, and found that it was a plum grove.Right now the plum blossoms are in full bloom, decorating the small world like a fairyland.

He didn't understand what Xie Hanzi meant by bringing him here, so he couldn't help becoming nervous again.

"Do you understand all the thoughts I gave you?"

"I don't understand," Sui Jian said honestly, "Some of them went to Zangshuge to look through other classics to find explanations, and if they couldn't find them, they asked Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Jiang."

Xie Hanzi looked at the top of his head and asked in surprise, "Why don't you ask me directly?"

Sui Jian didn't dare to look up at him, and felt a burst of embarrassment when she heard his question, her face and neck turned red.

"I... dare not." He finally told the truth.

Xie Hanzi asked amusedly, "Why don't you dare, is it scary to be a teacher?"

"No." Sui Jian raised her head and glanced at him quickly, then lowered her head again, and explained anxiously, "It's my problem."

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Master treats me very well. No one has ever treated me so well. He feeds me and teaches me martial arts. I just... just don't know how to get along with Master. "

Xie Hanzi didn't expect his apprentice to be so sensitive, he pondered for a moment, then sighed, "I was negligent."

Sui Jian didn't know what he meant, a thin hand stretched out in front of his eyes.

Sui Jian knew that this hand was not as weak as it appeared on the surface, it was a hand that could kill many people with a handful of stones.

Xie Hanzi motioned for him to hold her hand, Sui Jian hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand to hold him.

Because Sui Jian was begging for a living, she often didn't have enough to eat, so she looked much thinner than children of the same age.During this period of time, he was raised with good food and drink in Wuwangzong, his face became ruddy, and he was no longer pitifully thin, but his height was only a little higher than Xie Hanzi's chest.

A corner of Xie Hanzi's heart suddenly became soft. His apprentice was just a child after all.

Xie Hanzi led him and continued to walk forward, this time at a much slower pace, he said slowly: "Before you, I have never had an apprentice, nor have I had any contact with any children. I am alone and used to walking alone. So, if you don’t tell me what’s on your mind, I won’t know what you’re thinking.”

Sui Jian listened silently.

"Since I have accepted you as my apprentice, I will naturally be responsible to you to the end. I don't ask you how much you will achieve in this life, but I only hope that you have a clear conscience in dealing with people and doing things. It's okay to live your life so freely and recklessly."

"But you always seem to surprise me." Xie Hanzi looked at Shang Sui Jian's questioning eyes and explained with a smile: "The mental method I gave you was practiced by my master back then."

Sui Jian let out a bewildered sound, as if she didn't expect that the picture book had such a big heart, "I thought it was because I couldn't read well..."

Xie Hanzi smiled lightly, he was already good-looking, and such a gentle smile made people feel refreshed, "Do you know how long it took me to learn this method?"

Sui Jian bit her lower lip and shook her head lightly.

"It took me a whole year to be like you."

Sui Jian opened her eyes wide, "Does it take a year? Then is there something wrong with my training?"

Xie Hanzi patted his head helplessly, "Have a little confidence in yourself, you didn't make any mistakes in your practice, on the contrary, you completed it very well, Xiao Jian is a genius."

was praised.

Sui Jian was stunned for a moment, what did he call me?Little Jane?No one has ever called me that before, and he called me a genius?

The top of Sui Jian's head was almost smoking, and he looked like a cooked shrimp. He didn't want to leave with Xie Hanzi, and now he wanted to find a place where no one was around to roll around, and then yelled a few times happily!

The haze that lingered in my heart for many days finally dissipated because of Xie Hanzi's compliment.

While talking, Xie Hanzi finally brought Sui Jian to the destination.Sui Jian looked up and saw that it was the place where he worked most recently, Zangshu Pavilion.

Xie Hanzi directly led the Sui Jian to the top floor of the Library Pavilion. This is a place that Sui Jian had never set foot on. It is said that there are many powerful martial arts secret books hidden here. He is not qualified to enter this floor.

The top floor is much larger than the other floors, and the bookshelves are arranged compactly and neatly. Sui Jian looked around casually, and the collection of books here is indeed much richer than other floors.

Xie Hanzi walked to the nearest bookshelf, picked it up for a while, took out three of them, and said to Sui Jian: "Okay." He said and handed the three cheat books to Sui Jian.

Sui Jian took it carefully, only to hear Xie Hanzi say: "Here is a book on lightness kung fu, a book on swordsmanship, and a book on mental skills for strengthening inner strength. It is the strengthening chapter of the book you have read."

Sui Jian cherished the covers of the three books, and carefully stuffed them into her bosom.

Seeing his action, Xie Hanzi could think of the poor roast chicken that accompanied the old beggar to the ground at the end.

"You can ask me if you don't understand anything this time. You are my direct disciple, so you can be a little presumptuous." He lowered his head and considered his words, "Like a real child."

Sui Jian belatedly realized that the master-student relationship between him and Xie Hanzi seemed to be a little closer, maybe a little more.

He nodded emphatically, showing the happiest smile he had been with Xie Hanzi for so long.

Sui Jian's heart grew like grass, and she wanted to share her good mood with Tang Yishu and Jiang Yang immediately.

He walks with the wind, jumping and jumping like a grasshopper, wishing to let the whole world know how happy he is.

He first went to the Suixin Hall, which was relatively close, to look for Jiang Yang. As soon as he reached the door, he heard a roar like thunder: "Dare to be a real man! I taught you so?!"

Sui Jian was taken aback, and recognized that it was Master Mao's voice. Jiang Yang didn't know what mistake he had made to make him so angry.

He probed quietly to see what was going on, and saw a huge ceramic flower pot on Jiang Yang's head in the courtyard, and a bare sapling was planted on it.

Jiang Yang stuck his neck and said stubbornly: "It wasn't me! I really didn't break your broken teapot!"

Mao Yunfei raised his beard and raised Lao Gao's eyes, and said, "Who else is it if it's not you! We are the only ones living in this yard! Can it still be haunted!"

"Maybe it's a cat!" Jiang Yang also stared, "Who told you to expose so many fish! Maybe it attracted the cat!"

Mao Yunfei obviously didn't believe it, so he sneered and said: "The real culprit can't be found, whether you did it or not, it's all your fault, you should just think about it here, don't eat at night!"

Sui Jianniao quietly took two steps back, and walked out in a low voice, covering his mouth and suppressing a smile while slandering: "Could it be that the elders of Wuwangzong punish disciples in the same way?"

He suddenly caught sight of a lotus root pink figure from the corner of his eye, and Sui Jian shouted, "Who is it?"

The man was startled by him, and turned around tremblingly, revealing a delicate little face.

Sui Jian took a closer look and said with a smile, "Isn't this Senior Sister Shen? What are you doing here?"

Shen Qiong is one of the few female disciples of Wuwang Sect, and one of Elder Dou Wenxiu's direct disciples, but Elder Dou's Youlan Residence is really far away from here, and she is usually not seen.

"I, I'm here to pick dates and eat them."

As the name suggests, Shen Qiong is a gentle and pleasant little girl, who usually speaks in a soft voice, and getting along with her is not tiring at all, but at this moment she seems very absent-minded.

"Pick jujubes." There is a big jujube tree planted in the courtyard of Suixintang. In winter, the jujube trees are full of green and red, and it looks very attractive from a distance.

"Then you may not be able to get in now, Senior Brother Jiang is being punished."

Shen Qiong looked a little at a loss, and quickly asked: "Why was he punished, and what punishment... Can you tell me?"

Seeing her expression, Sui Jian turned her head and said slowly: "It seems that Uncle Mao broke something. Uncle Mao was very angry and punished him to kneel on the ground with a flower pot on his head." Sui Jian stretched out her hand and drew in the air. A big circle, "It's so big."

Shen Qiong's face became more and more ugly, Sui Jian added another sentence: "He was also punished not to eat."

Shen Qiong said in a voice like a mosquito: "It's all because of me..."

Sui Jian didn't hear clearly, so she heard Shen Qiong's gentle voice: "I still have something to do, I'm leaving first, I'll play with you when I have time."

Sui Jian grinned and waved goodbye to her, withdrew her hand and scratched her chin, thinking that she might have done a good thing by mistake.

"I'll ask Senior Brother Jiang to thank me when I turn back."
