beg for chivalry

……

Yu Jiachen slept for three days and three nights.

Maybe it's because I have punished myself for a long time, not only my body is cold, but my heart is also very tired.As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt gold stars bursting out in front of his eyes, his ears were ringing, and his forehead seemed to be burning with coals.

In sleep and dream, the things of the past split into dots of flowers, interspersed with flowing water.Yujiachen thought of his appearance before he was called "Yujiachen", and the scene when he practiced hard according to the sword manual when he was young.

At the same time, he also thought of the scene when he first entered the Tianshan Gate a long time ago, the scene of the Yubai Swordsman standing against the wind on the top of the mountain, with three amazing swords and invincible, what on earth is such an out-of-the-world figure thinking?What would you think of him?

Thinking of this, he couldn't sleep well.

But even though he didn't sleep well, his whole body was limp and weak, he didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids. He vaguely realized that someone had helped him back to the room where his disciple was, and had fed him some soup and porridge for the past few days. food, but he was vague and didn't know who it was.

After he recovered and was able to walk on the ground, several fellow disciples greeted him as soon as he went out.

"Jiachen, are you pockmarked?"

"Ma, Mazi?" Yu Jiachen was shocked, and a thin blush suddenly appeared on his face.

The same disciple said. "Didn't you have pockmarks the day before yesterday and covered your face with a white cloth? You have been going to the martial arts field in secret these days, even the elders think you are strange."

"Nonsense! Where did I get this strange disease?" Yu Jiachen argued with a blushing face. "Even if you are sick, it was caused by the cold a few days ago..."

Speaking of this, he felt more and more wrong.Ever since he was brought back from the snow, he must have been so delirious with fever that he had been lying on the bed for a few days, why did he have an extra "Yu Jiachen" to go to the martial arts field for him?

In this way, he passed the day absent-mindedly.Since he had been ill for a few days and his sword moves were a little rusty, he relaxed his muscles and bones and practiced until late at night in the martial arts field.When he was going back at night, he set foot on the mountain path when a voice suddenly stopped him.

"Junior brother, you are restless today."

The voice seemed to come from the sky, as quiet and leisurely as the moon and the wind.Yu Jiachen was dazed in a daze, suddenly frightened by these words, he took three steps backwards, sweating profusely.

When he looked up, he saw a person sitting idly in the sunken ravine on the side of the mountain road.On the mountain wall, there were originally notches made by our ancestors when discussing swords, which came from the Han Wengong in the Tang Dynasty: "The heart is like ice, the sword is like snow, and the sword I return to Huangquan." .

And the sitting person was leaning on the engraving of the word "heart", holding a long knife and looking at him.Dressed in plain white clothes flowing down like running water, wearing a hat, whose face is obscured by the veil, is it Yu Qiuxia or who?

Yu Jiachen didn't know how long he had been waiting here, but he only knew that this Yubai swordsman walked and walked alone, and he could even be called "absent and haunted".

"Master... the master of the door." Seeing Yu Qiuxia, Yu Jiachen was naturally taken aback.In a hurry, he suddenly remembered that although this person had a gentle voice, he was the master of the sect after all, and he probably didn't even have the chance to look directly at him, so he hurriedly lowered his head.

Yu Qiuxia jumped from the rocky ravine, and swayed over leisurely, "There is no need to be so born, although I have the name of the head of the sect, in fact, I am not a few years older than you, junior brother, so it is better to be called senior brother. "

"...Brother?"

"That's right." Yu Qiuxia smiled. "Just call it that from now on."

Yu Jiachen was apprehensive and nervous, he slightly raised his head and glanced at the person opposite, trembling when he touched the snow-white robe, he hurriedly retracted it.Unexpectedly, at this time Yu Qiuxia stretched out her hand to support his cheek, gently turned his head to face her, and said in a slightly reproachful tone.

"I didn't force my younger brother to treat me according to the rules of Tianshanmen, or did my younger brother have a set of rules in his heart - he had to kneel down and worship before he was willing to talk to me?"

"Men...Senior brother is serious, Jiachen didn't think about it."

Yu Jiachen hurriedly defended.

"That's good. After all, I follow the principle of courtesy and reciprocity. If the younger brother wants to kneel down, I have to return the courtesy. This is all cumbersome things, and the younger brother doesn't want to do this, right?"

Yu Qiuxia smiled lightly and let go of her hand.Yu Jiachen hurried back a few steps, said yes with a blushing face, he could still feel the lingering warmth left by his senior brother's touch on his cheeks, and his whole face became even more reddened.

He calmed down a little, and asked cautiously. "Senior brother just said that I am in a state of mind..."

Could it be that Yu Qiuxia could see his hesitation and hesitation today?While he was wandering in the sky and dancing his sword softly, Yu Qiuxia was silently staring at him not far away?

The veil tilted slightly to the side, Yu Qiuxia turned her head in confusion. "I heard this from a disciple of the same school, and I saw it just now. It is true. The younger brother walks with nine steps and one step, but he is preoccupied?"

Unexpectedly, his crooked and wandering state of mind had already been noticed by his fellow disciples, and even caught by Yu Qiuxia who was sitting on the mountain wall.Yu Jiachen felt ashamed about this, while stumbled and said.

"Actually, I am very troubled by this matter..."

He then told the rumors he heard from his disciples: During the days when he was sleeping on the bed due to fever, there was a "Yu Jiachen" who covered his face with a white cloth and went to the martial arts field to practice as usual and deal with his peers , sounds like the plot that should be in a ghost story.Yu Jiachen was also panicked because of this, and couldn't understand it.

I don't want Yu Qiuxia to listen and laughed, and said. "Senior brother really can't guess the identity of that person?"

"I can't guess, sect master... does senior brother have a clue? Who is that person?"

Yu Qiuxia smiled and hugged Yubai Dao in his arms.

"—it is next."

Yu Jiachen was shocked by these words.If this is true, it would be amazing.This means that the person who took him back to his room when he was sick and took care of him for a few days was actually the majestic Tianshanmen sect master!

Not only that, because of the Tianshan Gate's rules that one day if you don't go to the martial arts field, you must be punished, Yu Qiuxia really appeared in front of everyone under the name of "Yu Jiachen" in the past few days, so that Yu Jiachen was exempted from the punishment of the elders .

"Really senior brother? But, why did senior brother do such a thing for me...?" Yu Jiachen murmured.

Yu Qiuxia laughed. "It just added a bad reputation of 'pockmarked', and I'm afraid that my junior will blame me. And it's not just for the sake of my junior, but because I can't hold back my playfulness."

"Playful?"

"The elders often send juniors down the mountain to do some business, right? I'm very envious, so I borrowed the name of juniors these days."

Yu Qiuxia is like a child who has found a treasure. Even if she doesn't see his face, Yu Jiachen seems to be able to see his bright eyes behind the gauze curtain.

Although it is true that he has more time to go down the mountain than his fellow disciples, all Yu Jiachen does are trivial purchases, such as buying some food supplies for the Qingzhai Day, which is really not worth boasting about.Even so, Yu Qiuxia is still "very envious" of this, which makes Yu Jiachen puzzled.

"How can these jobs be envied by senior brother? Despicable, I am really, I am very envious of senior brother's jade white saber technique..." Yu Jiachen lowered his head and whispered, his fingers kept tightening the corners of his clothes.

Not wanting Yu Qiuxia to sigh heavily. "It's because of this jade white knife that the elders won't let me take a step out of the mountain gate no matter what. Junior brother looks at the white birds of prey circling on the edge of the cliff. They are much happier than me. They can fly wherever they want to go." But, you don’t need to report to the elders, nor do you need to care about other people’s opinions.”

As he spoke, a chuckle came from under the bamboo hat again. "Junior brother is also a happy person in my eyes. You don't have to face the snow every day, and you can see green mountains and green waters once you go out. How can you not be envious of this?"

Yu Jiachen listened to his words in a daze.Before this, he had never felt that it was a blessing to go out of the mountain, but only thought that when he came down the mountain, his peers were constantly improving their martial arts in the martial arts field, and he was ashamed of himself for being neglected in this moment.

He knew that the rules of Tianshan Gate had always been strict, and if there were no important matters to attend to, the number of times ordinary disciples would leave the gate could be counted on the fingers, not to mention the jade white swordsman that the elders held in their palms and regarded as the symbol of the sect.Therefore, to put it on the bad side, Yuqiuxia is actually no different from thrushes and larks kept in cages. Even with his unique skills, he can only lament and wander on this isolated snow field all day long.

Only at this moment did Yu Jiachen suddenly understand that for Yubai Swordsman, who is famous for his superb sword skills, even just looking back outside the mountain gate is a luxury.He couldn't help but recall the first time he saw Yu Qiuxia when he entered the Tianshan Gate. At that time, Yu Qiuxia standing quietly on the top of the mountain seemed to be looking at the birds of prey flying in the sky from afar, with neither sadness nor joy in his eyes. But empty.

It turned out that at that time, Yubai Swordsman was not looking at the fluttering birds, but at the distant mountains, at this cage that he could not get out of in his life.

Thinking of this, Yu Jiachen seemed to have sparks jumping in his chest, and said in a vibrating voice. "If it's useful to me, brother, please tell me!"

Unexpectedly, Yu Qiuxia seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and smiled immediately. "Could it be that the younger brother said these words out of compassion? You can relax, even though the Tianshan Gate is no different from a prison to me, it was considered a trap for me at the beginning, and my younger brother doesn't have to feel sad about it."

"but…"

"If the younger brother wants to repay me—that's right, that's the way to go. You should know by now that I'm a playful person, and I'm not sure that one day I'll try to sneak out under the name of my younger brother." .”

Before the young man Yu Jiachen came back to his senses, the person standing opposite took off the hat on his head and put it on his head.The gauze from the eaves of the hat flew up, blocking Yu Jiachen's view of the other party.

At this time, Yu Qiuxia said with a smile. "—You come to be the sect master, and then I can travel around as I like."
