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

In the early morning of the second day, Shen Bailing came to the port as promised, and saw a small sampan floating by the sea in the distance. He was overjoyed, and his pace was a little faster, but he got off the sampan before approaching. Someone got up, but it wasn't Xiang Qing.When he was wondering, he heard the man shout loudly: "But brother Shen?"

Shen Bailing nodded and stepped forward, only then did he see the appearance of the big man clearly. The man had a swarthy face, and he was wearing a coarse cloth short shirt with the cuffs tied up high, revealing a pair of big palms like small fans, very handsome. .The big dark man was also looking up at him, met Shen Bailing's gaze, and said with a smile: "Boss Xiang told us to wait here for you, and said that you will only set sail when you come, so let's go now?" The sampan draws closer.

Shen Bailing responded, but didn't help the man's outstretched palm, just lifted the hem of his clothes and jumped onto the bow lightly, the small sampan didn't even shake.The dark man raised his eyebrows, looked at him with more respect, and praised: "Good work!"

Immediately, the big man took out the wooden pulp and swung it vigorously in the sea water, and the small sampan sailed towards the big ship parked in the bay as if flying, until he slowed down when he reached the big ship, the man stopped and just whistled Then someone lowered the rope and hoisted the two of them up together with the small sampan.

Xiang Qing had been waiting on the boat for a long time, and when he saw Shen Bailing, he strode over, but just after seeing each other, he showed a face of embarrassment, and stopped talking a few times, making Shen Bailing baffled.

"Brother Xiang, what's the matter? But it's okay to talk about it." Shen Bailing said.

Xiang Qing hesitated for a while, and then said: "Brother Shen, this... oh, I'm really sorry... I originally reserved a room for you, brother, and it's next to my room. Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday, my sister also agreed to a little brother to let him go to sea on our boat, and she also gave up that room to someone. Alas, the dead girl just randomly agreed to see how handsome he is, and now I have committed a crime. Difficult...the sea ship doesn't have much room for people to live in, so we can't let you live with those stinky boys..." He was very embarrassed.

Only then did Shen Bailing understand, he naturally didn't want to be crowded with those boatmen, after thinking about it for a while, he came up with an idea, and said with a smile: "I don't know where that young master is now?"

Xiang Qing was stunned for a moment, and quickly pointed to a door in the northeast corner of the boat: "Brother Shen, don't you...?"

"Let's ask him if he minds sharing a room with someone." Shen Bailing smiled faintly, and walked over there.

Most of the houses on this ship did not have door latches, Shen Bailing just pushed lightly, and the door creaked open.The room is very narrow, but one bed and one table can be put down, but it is already a good place to live on the boat.Shen Bailing just glanced roughly, and was attracted by the thing lying on the table.

It was a huge sword box, standing about the height of a person.Shen Bailing is also a sword learner, so he naturally knows that some sword lovers often carve extremely exquisite sword cases to hold the sword weapons they have collected, just like a beautiful woman is a famous rouge, and a good wine is a good cup, but the one in front of him The sword box is a bit different, not only is there no decoration on the surface, it is even slightly rough, and it is unknown what kind of metal it is made of, but it shows a dull indigo blue color, perhaps to avoid bumps, and the corners are covered with a layer of silver. .

Shen Bailing, however, became more and more strange the more he looked at it, the sword case seemed inconspicuous, but it was quite ingenious, and when he saw clearly the corner of the sword case was engraved with the pattern of four clouds surrounding a fairy sword , his gaze froze for a moment, and the deepest part of his heart jumped wildly.However, when he was full of fear, he suddenly calmed down when he met the cold eyes of another person in the room.

The owner of the sword box is actually a ten-year-old boy, with eyebrows like sharp swords and eyes like cold stars, the corners of his eyes are slightly raised like a phoenix flying, his nose is high and his mouth is condensed, as Xiang Qing said, he is very handsome, but his expression is very indifferent.He was wearing a jade crown and a blue and white Taoist robe. Although he was sitting on a very ordinary old wooden bed, he was as dignified as if he was in a high seat in a Huadian. What a surprised expression.

He just looked at Shen Bailing silently, as if he felt that he had nothing to say to this uninvited guest.

Shen Bailing calmed down slightly, and then looked at the young man in front of him, and suddenly felt a little strange again.This boy's stern aura, which is as cold as the ice and snow in distant mountains, made him feel a little familiar, even a little kind. He... actually looked a little like the person in his memory...

Maybe it was because his staring eyes made the young man a little uncomfortable, a gleam of embarrassment and anger flashed in those phoenix eyes, and the sword box on the table seemed to feel something, it suddenly buzzed and vibrated, and then lightning came out of it. A purple light burst out.

The purple light shot towards Shen Bailing's face with crackling noises. When Shen Bailing came back to his senses, the purple light was only a hair's breadth away from his cheek, so he hurriedly took a step back and swept his sleeves away. Being flicked by the soft sleeve corner, it turned around and flew towards the boy instead.

The boy's eyes flashed, and a trace of surprise flashed across his indifferent face, and he didn't see any movement, the purple light slowly dissipated in front of him, and the electric light flickered a few times before disappearing without a trace no trace.

"It turned out to be a fellow, sorry for your disrespect."

A voice as cold as a magnet sounded in the room, the young man had stood up from the bed, bowed to Shen Bailing, paused, and said: "I, Murong Ziying, is a disciple of the Qionghua Sect. First and last name?" Although the expression was still cold, the etiquette was very considerate.

Shen Bailing even felt that this young man was similar to his old friend, so he couldn't help being more gentle, and returned the courtesy: "I'm sinking Shen Bailing." After hesitating for a while, he said, "No family, no sect, he is just an unknown person from the mountains. Heroes don't need to be so polite."

Murong Ziying did not show any contempt at all, and in Shen Bailing's eyes, he nodded secretly. Just now when he waved his sleeve to brush away the purple light, he realized that this young man didn't inject too much real power into it. Instead of hurting him, this kind of thinking was completely different from his cold appearance, which made Shen Bailing feel good about him.

At that moment, Shen Bailing's voice became softer, and said in a gentle voice: "I went overseas just to find a stranger, but I just heard from the owner that there was only this one room left on the ship, so I took the liberty to come here and ask, is it okay?" How many days will you live with the young man?"

As soon as these words came out, Murong Ziying frowned slightly.Seeing that he was silent, Shen Bailing didn't want to force others to make things difficult for him, so he sighed: "Forget it, I'll ask the captain again..." Then he turned around.

"I like to be quiet by nature, you...don't bring idlers here." The young man's voice suddenly came from behind.

Shen Bailing was startled, and suddenly realized that the young man agreed to live with him, a smile could not help appearing on his face, and he hurriedly turned around and replied with a smile, "Okay." Looking at the young man, his eyes were full of grateful smiles.

The boy glanced at him again, then sat back on the bed and closed his eyes to continue meditating, but at some point there was a very faint pink color on his cheeks.

Seeing Shen Bailing's eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up a little.

This boy is a bit more interesting than that guy...

After discussing with the young man, Shen Bailing moved in.It was only at night that I discovered an embarrassment.

"...A cultivator can rest anywhere, but it's nothing more than going to the deck to meditate overnight..."

Looking at the narrow wooden bed in front of which one person just slept two people, there must be a half hanging in the air, Shen Bailing and Murong Ziying looked at each other for a long time, and finally made such a suggestion with a dry smile.

Murong Ziying glanced out the window, then turned her head to stare at the sword case on the table, and said after a long while: "...Who is going?"

Shen Bailing froze, and also glanced outside. What he could see through the window was only a line of darkness, and he could only hear the howling of the sea breeze... I remember that brother Xiang once mentioned that the wind and waves were a little bit stronger today...

"You might as well ask the ship owner to borrow another quilt. It's not very cold on the ground..."

Before Shen Bailing finished speaking, he was interrupted by another cold voice: "I told the captain that there is only one clean bedding." This big flowered quilt was specially prepared by the little sister of the Xiang family who likes handsome boys down.

Besides... Shen Bailing glanced at the table in the room again. At this moment, in his eyes, this table, which is useless except for placing the sword box, really takes up extra space. The room is not big at all, and it is more There's not even room for a man's floor...

"...Then what should I do?" Why can't we sit in meditation all night?

There was another silence in the room.

After a long time, Shen Bailing was leaning on the table and staring at the flames of the oil lamp in a daze, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him, but when he looked back, he was startled: "You... what are you doing?"

Murong Ziying glanced at him coldly, and gently put the robe on the head of the bed: "Undress."

"But..." Shen Bailing was tongue-tied, and wanted to stop him but felt a little impolite, but if this young man slept on the bed, wouldn't he have to meditate overnight in the sea breeze?

"It's not early, and I have to get up early tomorrow to raise my sword." Murong Ziying said calmly, and even took off her boots and put them neatly in a corner of the bed while speaking.

"But..." Shen Bailing's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't help but turn to look out of the dark window. Could it be that he was going to give up the bed in pain for the sake of Master Zong Lian?

"Or do you want to sleep on the inside?" At this time, the boy added coldly.

Eh?Shen Bailing was startled, and saw Murong Ziying sitting on the edge of the bed in her underwear, her face remained motionless, and she just looked over with a pair of cold eyes.Seeing that Shen Bailing didn't respond for a long time, Xu Shi frowned slightly, turned around and flattened the quilt, as if preparing to lie down.

"Thank you very much!" Shen Bailing said hastily, took off his outer robe in a hurry, folded his body and walked over.

Late at night, the wind on the sea gradually died down, only the sound of the waves faintly rang in my ears.It was pitch black in the hut, and Shen Bailing was lying stiffly facing the inside, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

Close at hand, there was an extremely light breath gently touching his neck and brushing the ends of his hair.The boy was sleeping soundly.

Shen Bailing listened quietly, the layer of warmth on his face gradually faded away, he got rid of the shyness in his heart, and finally fell asleep.In a daze, he suddenly remembered what he said many years ago, when Junior Brother Yun was kicked out of the house by that person for some reason, and insisted on squatting with him...

The cold night is long, and it is difficult to sleep alone. Only by embracing each other can we sleep warmly all night...

But it's too close...
