[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

The cold air was overwhelming, and it wet a large area behind Shen Bailing's clothes.There was a severe pain in his head, as if everything he had experienced in his life had been shattered into countless fragments, twisted into a sharp branch that was about to burst out.His eyes were hazy, and the cold air couldn't help blowing against his face, as if it wanted to freeze him with this cave.

"Tick tock, tick tock", a few drops of water fell on the ground in the dark, the sound echoed between the stone walls, its loudness seemed to hit the apex of the heart.Shen Bailing fell on the ice, his hands and feet gradually became numb, and he was thinking in a daze: I... am I going to die... Mother...

Just at the moment when the coldness penetrated into his heart, a cold hand suddenly covered his face. Although that hand was not warm at all, it was extremely soft, and it slowly stroked along the corner of his forehead. His forehead slid to his cheeks, and then fell to his chin, touching inch by inch extremely delicate and gentle, as if he wanted to pour all the tenderness into his fingers.

A few coughs came from nearby, and even the hand trembled slightly. Shen Bailing had a flash of inspiration for some reason, and suddenly realized: This is... this is A Niang!His mother has been extremely strict since he was a child, and he would always scold him. He has never enjoyed a mother's love in his life. He never thought that the first time he felt his mother's caress was in the cold and pain where he could not see his fingers.

Shen Danqing said slowly and lowly: "That's right...and, there is also this emerald emerald...ah, I never thought that a child in the mountains would have such a rare thing that seals the evil spirit. Let us have more mother and son... get together for a little longer, ahem, if one day, you can remember... then give it back to that little kid from the Yun family..."

In the darkness in front of him, only his mother's voice rang nearby intermittently. Although Shen Bailing was not very conscious, he felt the sadness contained in her words. Unknowingly, I suppressed the severe pain in my head.

Tears were streaming down his face, the corners of his eyes and cheeks were already wet, but Shen Danqing never saw it in the darkness.Shen Bailing felt that the hand covering his face became softer and weaker, and gradually stopped moving on his face. When he was in grief, he struggled and cried out in a low voice: "Aunt...don't die..."

Shen Danqing's radiant look had gradually faded away, her voice became hoarse, and her voice was almost inaudible.She finally murmured: "Bai Ling... my son... if one day you remember... ahem, go find a man named Shen Zhao... tell him that I have hated him deeply all my life, and that he owes me money." Mine, even...even if I can't get it back in this life, I want him to return it in the next life! Ahem...you ask him, does he... regret it or not?" After saying this, the hand on Shen Bailing's cheek Finally it fell down limply, and after that, only a rustling sound was heard, and then there was no more sound.

Under Shen Bailing's acute pain, he felt a gust of blood gushing out of his throat, then his eyes went dark, and he finally passed out.

After lying in a drowsy state for an unknown amount of time, suddenly there was a chill on his forehead, and the young man who was lying on the ground woke up with a start, only to feel that his face and body were covered with wetness.The sound of ticking and ticking in the cave was endless, and it was vaguely that the solid ice covering the stone walls was melting.

In the darkness, he reluctantly raised a hand to wipe his cheeks. The wet spots touched by his fingertips were vertical and horizontal. He didn't know whether it was dripping water or tears that had long since faded away.The young man stared blankly at the black void in front of him with his eyes open. There was still a dull pain in his head, and his chest seemed to be sunken in a large piece, dazed and empty.

This is... where?Where am I... again?He was thinking blankly, and there seemed to be many pictures flashing in front of his eyes, those turbid colors, those fleeting faces, but no matter what, he couldn't keep or grasp them, leaving only an empty mind and a lonely heart.

In the distance, other movements were vaguely added to the sound of ticking, as if someone was walking all the way on the water, slowly approaching, and it seemed that there was more than one person.

"...Senior Brother Qingyang, the aura of the water spirit is so strong here, could it be that the water spirit beads that we have searched and failed to find are hidden here?" The echo echoed in the stone passage of the cave, and the young voice that was as clear as a jade lightly touched was far away. sent over.

A young man's voice replied: "If this is the case, I'm afraid it's not good... Looking at the blood stains, the monster seems to have escaped from your sword and hid here. I'm afraid it is hiding in the depths of the cave and waiting for an opportunity to fight back. Chongguang, You and I need to be careful."

That heavy light snorted: "This banshee killed many disciples of my Qionghua Sect. If it wasn't for the heavy responsibility, when the news of Xuanyu's death came that day, I would have... Hmph, I can't vent my hatred if I don't kill her! But Sigh God has eyes, let her come to Huangshan, and taught us to bump into her. So what if she restrains her evil spirit, let's see how long she can hide this time?" The words were full of anger, as if to the person in his mouth. The "banshee" hated it to the bone.

Qingyang was much gentler, he only heard him say slowly: "This banshee has been stabbed in the chest, and she still has the strength to hide her evil spirit, which is not unusual. If she hibernates in the mountains, the two of us will not come out." It’s hard to find out, but I don’t know why you want to sneak attack you and me?”

Chong Guang sneered coldly: "Of course it's self-deprecating, and wants to kill us too! This monster may have already taken a fancy to the cave here, but it just went around in the mountains, leading us to other places several times. It's a pity that we can't hide it from you and me... But from this point of view, it's really strange that the outside of the cave is warm, but the inside of the cave is terribly cold."

While talking, the footsteps of the two people were getting closer and closer. Although the young man didn't know who they were, he felt an instinct to avoid them. He struggled to get up, but his hands and feet were so weak and his head was so heavy that he barely leaned against them. On the stone wall, he couldn't breathe anymore.

The sound of his panting echoed back and forth in the cave, only to hear the crisp voice exclaim: "There is movement inside, who is it?" Seeing over the cave, there are more than a dozen sharp lights flashing suddenly, each of them looks like a small sword, connecting head to tail in the air, forming a large circle and slowly rotating in one direction, those swords There is a layer of blue light covering them, illuminating the inside of the cave like daytime.

The young man stared blankly at those little swords, and the two standing in front of him also looked at him in amazement.The two are tall and short, both wearing wide-sleeved gowns with blue patterns on a white background. The tall young man has black hair tied up with a white jade crown, his eyebrows are drawn into his temples, his eyes are like stars, and the corners of his lips are slightly curled into a smile. It was amiable to look at, and the thin and small boy tied his messy hair behind his head with a jade belt casually. His facial features were handsome, but his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, which was extremely difficult to provoke.

Chongguang and Qingyang thought that only the female monster was hidden in the cave, but they didn't want to break in here but found a dazed boy.The young man didn't wake up for a moment, his mind was still in chaos, his eyes kept turning back and forth following the small swords, and it took a long time before he realized that there was someone beside him.

At this time, Qingyang had already squatted beside him, and one hand was already on his wrist.The young man stared at him inexplicably, and after a long time he opened his mouth and asked, "You...what are you doing..." His voice was hoarse and low, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and it seemed that he had hoarse himself by shouting loudly.

Qingyang smiled slightly at him, and said: "You don't need to be alarmed, little brother, I see that you seem uncomfortable, so I decided to take a look for you—ah, you, this is on your neck..." After he squatted down, he took a closer look at the young man in front of him for the first time, and happened to see a bruise around his neck with a glance, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

"Brother, don't worry about that kid, just look—" At this moment, the cold-faced boy Chong Guang suddenly shouted, the voice came from the other side of the cave, full of surprise and joy.It turned out that he was very impatient watching his senior brother show his wounds, so he walked around in the cave, but after a while, he turned to the other side of the cave, unexpectedly found something again.

Qingyang helped the boy up to lean against the stone wall, and then turned his head.The boy turned his head slightly, and opened his eyes wide through the swaying clothes in front of him.

But seeing dozens of steps away, in the dark place of the sword light, there is an incomparably huge strange beast lying impressively.The giant beast has sharp mouth and sharp teeth, lying on the ground facing this side, vaguely visible are several pairs of purple-red feathers growing on its back, it looks like a wolf but not a wolf, like a fox but not a fox, its body is actually a bit bigger than a bear, angry With a pair of animal pupils open, it seems to be dead but not frozen.

Chong Guang stood next to the corpse of the giant beast, and said very happily: "There is a wound on the chest, and there is also a wound on the shoulder... yes, yes! This is undoubtedly the banshee. She is dead, dead through. , now the revenge of the nephew and the others is finally avenged!"

Qingyang also walked over, squatted down on the chest of the giant beast, inspected the abdomen carefully, nodded and said: "The heart pulse has been broken, and the internal organs are completely broken... It is indeed the body of the banshee, so powerful, but it was never I have never seen a monster with such a shape—hey, there is something tied around her neck, what is that?"

It was so far away, the boy couldn't see clearly whether there was something tied around the neck of the giant beast, but he saw Zhong Guang bent down and groped under the fur on the neck of the giant beast for a while and pulled it hard, then looked into his palm and said in amazement : "This, this is... shaped like a jade ring, shining brightly... Brother, this is the Empress Emerald!"

Qingyang suddenly said: "It's no wonder. I only know that the banshee is powerful, so she can still restrain her breath after being seriously injured. I just wonder why she can still restrain her evil spirit after death... I can't think of her. It was the divine power of the Empress Emerald that was able to hide the demonic breath without a trace, so it is so, so it is." The tone of his voice was extremely gratifying, as if a problem that had troubled him for a long time had been solved.

Now that the banshee is dead, Qingyang and Zhongguang are not as nervous as before.The two returned to the young man again, Qingyang pointed to the bruises on his neck and said to his junior: "Chongguang, look. This little brother seems to have these marks by someone choking his throat, I was thinking , Could it be that the banshee hid here and found this young man, intending to kill him but was seriously injured, so this little brother was able to share a cave with a monster and was safe..."

"Then he is really lucky!" Before Qingyang finished speaking, Zhongguang said, "It's just that the mountain here is very dangerous and difficult to climb, and this kid doesn't look like a hunter living in the mountain, how did he get here? Hey, who are you, are you a villager near Mount Huangshan?" The last sentence was to the boy.

When the young man heard this question, he frowned slightly, and gradually showed an extremely embarrassed look on his face.He only heard him muttering: "I am... I am..." The voice was a bit dazed, as if Chongguang had asked him a question that was extremely difficult to answer. After a while, he raised his head. His eyes were full of emptiness, and he asked softly, "I am... who?"
