day alley

Lingduan lost consciousness after bidding farewell to Chunyang in Hengshan, and fell into endless darkness.When he woke up again, he was a little silly, maybe he made a mistake, he didn't die, right?Will Chunyang laugh him to death?Quietly opening his eyes, he saw that it was not the familiar room, but it didn't seem strange either.

Here is... Ling Duan sat up all of a sudden, patted his forehead, Curling Qiuyue!

He jumped out of bed and walked around the room twice barefoot. It was really Curling Qiuyue, and he came back!As soon as the door is opened, a pond full of lotus flowers in the yard greets the eyes, which are lush and fragrant in the wind.He turned around and looked at the plaque hanging in the middle, and it really was Curling Qiuyue.

"Why? How come?" Ling Duan slowly squatted down, hugged his knees and rolled himself into a ball.

Under the turbulent mood, Ling Duan didn't notice what was wrong, until he calmed down and stood up again. When did he become so short?He lowered his head to look at his hands, they were white and tender, and the calluses worn out by holding the sword all year round were gone.

"Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother!"

The charming voice moved from far to near, and when he saw who was coming, Ling Duan couldn't help but take a step back. It was Fu Qu, Fu Qu when she was a child...

The little girl stopped beside Ling Duan out of breath, "Second senior brother, the elder holding the sword is about to accept disciples, shall we go and have a look together? Second senior brother? Second senior brother?" Seeing that Ling Duan didn't answer, the little girl reached out and grabbed Tucking Ling Duan's sleeve, he called out loudly.

"Ah? Okay, okay. Junior sister wait a moment, I'll go change clothes first." Ling Duan replied subconsciously, he could never refuse Fu Que's request.

At this time, in the front hall of Tianyong City, the sword-wielding elder Ziyin and his new apprentice Baili Tusu reported to the head teacher.

Urged by Fu Que's voice, Ling Duan took her hand to the front hall, walked in, bowed and saluted, "Disciple/Fu Que greets Master/Daddy, Elder Sword Holder."

"Duan'er, Fuqu, why are you here?" Daoist Hansu patted Fuqu's head, "Is Duan'er in good health?"

How long has it been since I saw such a loving Master?Ling Duan has long forgotten, he only remembers the master forcing him to practice swords, practice, and the severe instruction. He is more familiar with the "Ling Duan" that the master scolded him in that tone of hating iron and steel, rather than the direct poking The "end" of the heart.

"I'm healthy, Master. Please take care of me." Ling Duan bowed his hands again, "Today I heard that the elder holding the sword has accepted a new apprentice. I'm curious, so I came here to have a look."

Everyone knows Ling Duan's desire to worship under Elder Holding Sword, Master Han Su naturally understands, "Alright, let's get to know each other now and get along well in the future, understand?"

"You can save it."

Master Ziyin has a cold personality, and he doesn't even have a straight eye for Ling Duan, who has always been disliked.Seeing Master Hansu say this, he couldn't stop him, he just nodded slightly to the newly recruited apprentice, indicating that you can get to know each other for a while.

Ling Duan walked up to Baili Tusu, looked him up and down, and said softly, "Hello, junior brother. I'm Ling Duan, your second senior brother."

"Second Senior Brother, my name is Baili Tusu." The child replied timidly.

"Tu Su, a cup of Tusu thousand-year-old wine, good name, I wish you a safe and long life." Ling Duan said as he took out a fiery red bead from his bosom, "This is the red flame bead, you won't feel cold when you wear it. Here it is as a meeting gift."

Seeing that Tu Su refused to accept it, Ling Duan directly took his hand and stuffed it in.Then he turned around and bowed to Master Ziyin, "Congratulations, elder, for finding a good picture."

After finishing speaking, Ling Duan consciously stood beside Master Hansu.

"Hello, Tu Su, my name is Fu Que, and the head teacher is my father." Fu Que jumped up to Tu Su.

Seeing a child similar to his age, Tu Su couldn't help but smile with a sullen face, "Hello, Senior Sister Fu Que."

Afterwards, Master Ziyin returned to Lintian Pavilion with his newly recruited apprentice.

Seeing that the new junior brother had left, Fu Que didn't want to stay any longer, so she quietly slipped out of the front hall to avoid being caught by her father to practice sword.

Master Han Su pretended not to see it, and looked at Ling Duan, "Duan'er is much more sensible today?"

Ling Duan lowered his head to hide his expression, "Seeing Junior Brother Baili today, I suddenly understood many things."

"Oh?"

Ling Duan continued to bite the bullet and said: "I see that Junior Brother Baili has extraordinary roots, with a clean and upright spirit between his brows and firm eyes, it can be seen that he will study hard and practice hard, which is of great benefit to the practice of swordsmanship. Compared with him, Tuer is not a person who can bear hardships, so he is naturally a little worse."

"How can my apprentice be so self-deprecating." Master Hansu snorted unhappily, "Duan'er, you may be lazy and play tricks occasionally, but your understanding is extremely high. If you are willing to pay more attention, Lingyue is not as good as you."

"Master's praise." Ling Duan bowed, "Brother's bones are rare, his understanding is good, and he can stand his temper and study hard. He is a model for all juniors. We should learn from Senior Brother."

Master Hansu glanced at his apprentice, "Since you say so, then hurry up and practice swords, and don't mess around with Fu Que."

"The disciple obeys."

"Second Senior Brother!" ×N

As soon as he arrived at Jiantai, Ling Duan was surrounded by his juniors, especially Zhao Lin and Ling Chuan, who directly held Ling Duan's left and right arms, chattering non-stop, such as "Second senior brother?" I miss you so much", "Second Senior Brother, is your health better?", "Second Senior Brother, can you teach us how to use swordsmanship today?" and so on, Ling Duan didn't know which question he should answer first.

If it was before, Lingduan must be very happy.But the current Lingduan is not the former Lingduan, he is the Lingduan who was expelled from the school and lived with Chunyang for a year, how can he be so noisy?

"What are you doing here? Are you good at swordsmanship?" Ling Yue came from a distance, and saw that the juniors didn't practice swords well, but instead kept arguing, so he reprimanded in a bad tone.

This sentence is tantamount to saving Lingduan from fire and water, and of course it made many juniors sneer.

Ling Duan rounded the field, "Okay, let's practice swords first, and the second senior brother will play with you later."

The crowd dispersed, and then Ling Duan saluted Ling Yue, "Elder brother, Ling Duan was not feeling well a few days ago, and he rested for a few days. I just came here, and the brothers and sisters gathered here out of concern. Don't mind."

"How are you?" Ling Yue asked with concern.He has always done a good job of being friendly and loving to his fellow apprentices.

"It's been great."

"I just went to Curling Qiuyue to look for you, and found that you were not there. I happened to meet here."

"No wonder I didn't see Eldest Brother just now. I wonder why Eldest Brother is looking for Ling Duan?"

"You..." Ling Yue frowned, "You speak strangely today."

Ling Duan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "A serious illness made me understand a lot of things. In the past, Ling Duan had no symptoms. He offended me so much. I still hope Eldest Brother Haihan."

His relationship with Lingyue is neither bad nor good.One is the apprentice of the elder holding the sword, and the other is the apprentice of the real person in charge. Naturally, they are the objects of comparison. Ling Duan is stronger. If he is rejected as a teacher, he will naturally hold a bad breath in his heart, so he doesn't like Ling Yue.But Ling Yue is upright, gentle and courteous to others, and a diligent and studious master. His strength is the most powerful among the disciples of this generation.For such a senior brother, Ling Duan had to obey.So I can only call the other party "big brother" awkwardly.Now Lingduan doesn't have any bad feeling towards Lingyue. Although he doesn't have a good opinion of Lingyue, it's okay to treat him peacefully.

"Master has accepted a new apprentice and ordered me to teach it personally, so I'm afraid I can't come to practice swords at the sword platform every day."

It was only then that Ling Duan remembered that Tu Su had been treated specially since the day he joined the class, and it was precisely because of this that he always looked at him annoyed.But now that he knew about Tu Su's evil spirit, he was relieved of this special treatment. "Elder brother, don't worry, Lingduan will supervise the cultivation of the disciples."

Ling Yue, who thought that the other party would pester him to ask about his new apprentice, saw Ling Duan's calm expression, didn't know what to say for a while, and was stunned for a moment, under Ling Duan's puzzled eyes, he said: "Lunch, dinner I will go to the cafeteria when I am here, if you have any questions, you can come and ask me."

"Yes, Big Brother."

Since then, Lingduan has been in charge of all the sword training among the juniors.If the former Lingduan would not have dared to do so much, the current Lingduan is not the case. He has practiced in Tianyong City for more than ten years, and he has even mastered Tianyong City's famous high-level swordsmanship Chaos Sword Jue. His cultivation is naturally much higher than other disciples, and it is more than enough to teach some basic swordsmanship.

In addition, Ling Duan has a cheerful personality, gets along well with everyone, and never suppresses other disciples as the head teacher's direct disciple, so he is loved by all the juniors and brothers. Everyone has devoted themselves to a new round of practice with unprecedented enthusiasm.

In this regard, Master Han Su was very happy to see the results, and praised Ling Duan many times, which made Ling Duan feel a little embarrassed.

After reliving a new life, Ling Duan also looked away from many things. He once said that "I don't want to go on the fairy road" is indeed true. Now he has no obsession with "Sword Immortal", so that he is tired of practicing swords. I am much lazy, and instead spend more thoughts on formations and spells.

However, although Ling Duan is not good at practicing swords, he has always been very strict with Zhao Lin, Ling Chuan and other juniors.

Zhaolin, Lingchuan and Lingduan entered Tianyong City in the same year and were of the same age, but the head teacher first selected Lingduan as his personal disciple, making Lingduan the second disciple of Tianyong City.They have been together for many years, and their relationship is naturally very close.

At this time on the sword platform, 13-year-old Ling Duan divided the juniors into two groups, one to learn Sancai Sword and the other to learn Huiming Sword.Zhaolin and Lingchuan, the two most valued by the second senior brother, are naturally among the latter.

Ling Duan walked among the phalanxes, pointing out one by one, "Use your wrist hard, and whoever gets knocked off the sword by me will practice swinging the sword five hundred times by yourself. Your feet must be firm. An hour on horseback."

Hearing this, the juniors are all trembling.They all knew that Lingduan had no temper at ordinary times, and he could get into trouble with them, but he was merciless in punishment, five hundred times would be five hundred times, and even one less time would not do, and the action had to be up to standard.

Ling Duan didn't care how the juniors were crying in their hearts, he held the sword and walked slowly behind Zhao Lin, the scabbard hit Zhao Lin's right shoulder unexpectedly.

Zhao Lin let out a cry of pain, and the sword in his hand dropped in response.

"Are your hands made of noodles?" Then he poked Zhaolin's leg with the scabbard, "Why are you shaking? You've only been practicing for an hour, and you're not as good as an ordinary girl. Practice more."

Everyone watched the show and held back their laughter.This scene will be staged on the sword stage from time to time, and Zhaolin is often said to be "not as good as an old man", "not as good as Fu Que", "not as good as a three-year-old child", everyone is used to it, but now I hear "not as good as an ordinary girl" , still can't help but silently light the wax for Zhaolin.

"Lingchuan, what are you laughing at?" Lingduan turned his head and looked at Lingchuan, "You practice more with Zhaolin."

"It's all funny, isn't it?" Ling Duan pointed to his junior brother who was practicing the Huiming Sword, "Everyone can't even hold the sword steadily, so they are embarrassed to laugh. What is a sword? The sword is your life. Throwing away the sword, you might as well just strip yourself naked, dip it in soy sauce and give it to the monster."

"Practice swinging the sword three hundred times more, and those who can't finish it don't want to eat lunch." Turning his head and shouting at the disciple who learned the three-talent sword, "You too."

"Second Senior Brother~"×N

Ling Duan glared, "Too little?"

Seeing this, all the juniors who wanted to intercede were as quiet as chickens.

Ling Duan didn't stare at them and swung his sword, but rested on the stone steps after doing it again.He drew the formation last night, and he came here again in the morning to teach his disciples how to practice. It's almost noon, can't he be tired?

Before he could sit still, he saw Baili Tusu walking towards him.

"Brother Lingduan."

"Why did Junior Brother Baili come to the sword platform alone today?" Ling Duan asked.In the past, Tu Su occasionally wandered around in the company of Ling Yue and Fu Que. The sword platform was one of the places he often visited, but Tu Su had never visited Tianyong City alone.

"Eldest brother told me before going down the mountain that if you encounter problems with swordsmanship, you can ask senior brother Lingduan for advice." Tu Su still had a blank face.

It was only then that Ling Duan remembered that Ling Yue had gone down the mountain some time ago, and this was his first time going down the mountain to eliminate demons. "Naturally, it's the responsibility. Which set of swordsmanship do you practice?"

"Xuanzhen sword."

Ling Duan was a little surprised, "You learned the Xuanzhen Sword in just three years?"

"Well, is it slow?"

Take it easy!With his 13-year-old age, he is just about to learn Chaos Sword Art!The corner of Ling Duan's mouth twitched, he stood up, and shouted to his juniors who were working hard: "Everyone stop, stand aside, Zhaolin and Lingchuan come to my side!"

The two people who were pointed out came to Ling Duan in a daze, "What's the matter, Second Senior Brother?"

Ling Duan ignored them, and said to Tu Su: "Brother Baili, please demonstrate the Huiming Sword first."

Everyone doesn't know why.

Tu Su was also obedient, walked to the center of the arena, drew out his sword and practiced.The moves are like flowing clouds and flowing water, jumping, jumping, moving and connecting naturally and skillfully. It can be seen that hard work has been put in.

Soon, a set of Huiming sword was demonstrated, Tu Su put away the sword and looked at the mausoleum.

Ling Duan didn't look at him at all, raised his feet to Zhao Lin and Ling Chuan's buttocks, and said bitterly: "Look at him, it's only been three years, this Dark Sword is much better at playing than you, I'm ashamed! "

Turning his head, he asked Tu Su very kindly: "How long has it been for Junior Brother Baili to learn this set of sword techniques?"

Tu Su replied truthfully: "More than seven months. Because of my poor health, I learned a little slowly." After speaking, Tu Su lowered his head a little shyly, so he didn't know that his words were really particularly hateful.

Hearing this, Ling Duan lifted his legs and kicked his feet again, "It's been three months, and you haven't even figured out the sword moves, so you're so embarrassed to cry!"

"Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, we have worked very hard." Zhao Lin clutched his buttocks, weeping, "He is the disciple of Elder Sword Holder, so his aptitude is naturally good, how can we compare?"

"That's right, that's right." Lingchuan echoed.

"Incomparable? I make you incomparable!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and smacked the back of Zhao Lin's head twice, "I made you incomparable. You learn to blame others without studying hard, huh?"

Zhao Lin is not stupid, so naturally he hides.

"Yeah, have you learned how to hide?" Immediately afterwards, the two brothers ran around the sword platform.

Tu Su stood in the middle at a loss.

Panting, Ling Duan stopped beside Tu Su, with one hand on his hips, and the other pointing to the junior fellow present, "I will check your homework tomorrow, and those who can't remember the sword moves will run around Tianyong City twenty times."

"No, second senior brother..." ×N

"Now, get out of here and don't get in the way of Master Lingduan."

So all the juniors left the sword platform with each other's support, and went to recite sword moves.Running [-] laps for Tianyong City, is it going to run for a year?

"I'm furious!"

"Brother Lingduan?"

"Ah, I didn't talk about you, but about them." Ling Duan held Tu Su's shoulders and sat down on the stone steps beside him, "You did a good job with that dark sword just now, but at the end you lost your strength, how much do you remember when you look back? Exercise."

"Yes."

"Oh, by the way, you are here today to ask about Xuanzhen's sword skills, right? Then you demonstrate it first, and I'll take a look." Ling Duan patted Tu Su's shoulder, "Hurry up, I have to go to the dining hall soon .”

So Tu Su demonstrated the Xuanzhen sword technique again.

Ling Duan frowned and finished reading, "When did the elder brother teach you?"

"Not long before going down the mountain."

"I said how could you make such a low-level mistake." Ling Duan took Tusu's saber and gestured: "The sixth form and the ninth form are reversed, so during the practice, you will feel blocked in your movements. It’s difficult to exert force. In the third pose, the legs must keep up in time, otherwise the body will be uncoordinated and cause the body to be unstable. In the seventh pose, you have to... understand?”

"Brother Lingduan, can you demonstrate again?"

"it is good."

……

In the next half a month, Tu Su often came to Jiantai to ask Lingduan for advice, which made the other brothers feel insecure.As soon as this person appeared, the second senior brother saw that they were not pleasing to the eye, either to practice more or to run laps.So Xiao Tusu was resented for no apparent reason.

On this day, he went to the dining hall to eat alone, but was blocked by Lingchuan and Zhaolin.

"Yo~ Isn't this our little genius? Why, geniuses have to eat too?!"

"Yes, little genius, why don't you start bigu?"

The two kept talking non-stop, blocking Tu Su's way, preventing him from leaving.

Tu Su got impatient and said in a bad tone: "Get out of the way!"

"I won't let it go, what can you do?" Zhao Lin folded his arms, relying on his tall stature, said domineeringly.

Tu Su's hand holding the sword tightened, but then loosened it again, "Two senior brothers, please step aside."

"Give it up if you say so, how embarrassing the two of us brothers are."

"That's right, aren't you usually very good? If you have the ability, go there."

"You!" Tu Su glared at Zhao Lin and the two, but he kept in mind the teachings of his master and senior brother, not to use force with others.

At this moment, Ling Duan came out from the dining hall, "What is this for?"

Zhaolin and Lingchuan, who had their backs to Lingduan, immediately changed their expressions, "Second Senior Brother, are we asking Baili Senior Brother for sword skills?"

"Yes, we are all envious of how fast he learns, and we specially asked him for advice."

Lingduan's insightful eyes lingered on the two of them for a moment, then bared his teeth, "Weishi will go to Curling Qiuyue, I will teach the second senior brother myself, okay?"

Zhaolin and Lingchuan shook their heads together.

Ling Duan narrowed his eyes and threatened: "Why, second senior brother, can my swordsmanship not catch the eyes of the two young heroes?"

Zhaolin and Lingchuan continued to shake their heads, fighting with each other, "Second Senior Brother, let's just go."

"Well. What are you doing here in a daze? Do you want me to see you off in person?"

"Don't dare dare." The pair of brothers and sisters ran away like flying.

Until the two disappeared from sight, Ling Duan said gently to Tu Su: "Zhaolin and Lingchuan have no malicious intentions. They probably have heavy schoolwork and too much pressure." It is obvious that there is too little homework, so they still have Find fault with energy, "Please Baili Junior Brother Haihan."

Tu Su stared into a pair of cold eyes, "Brother Lingduan, my name is Tu Su."

"Ok?"

"You call other brothers by their first names, why do you call me 'Brother Baili'?"

Because our relationship is not that close!It's not just me who is embarrassed to say this reason! "Hehe, it's all the same, it's all the same."

"Different."

Hey, hey, what are you doing!I'm not against you, but I didn't say I want to play the game of "brother and brother" with you.Ling Duan wished he could hit the wall, he sneered, "Haha, Junior Brother Tu Su, it's just a title."

"Tu Su."

"..." Ling Duan patted his head in embarrassment, "Tu Su, Tu Su, it's alright, let's go eat quickly."

"Yeah. I'll also go to Curling Qiuyue in the afternoon." After speaking, Tu Su walked around the mausoleum and entered the dining hall.

Your study progress is different from theirs, what are you going to do?Of course, this violent reaction can only be thought of in the heart.After all, Lingduan wants to be a qualified second senior brother.
