There’s No Such Thing as Love in a Swordsman’s Heart

Chapter 56: Disenchantment

Views:

Li Hanshan held his breath unconsciously, barely daring to make a sound.

He just opened his eyes wide and looked at the simple clothes rack composed of several wooden poles. On the top were several pieces of Jiang Su's clothes, robes, inner linings, and underwear. He subconsciously counted them one by one, but then he realized It seems that Jiang Su did not take off all the clothes on his body as he thought.

He also kept at least a single piece of clothing for shelter. Maybe it was too cold, or maybe he was not used to sitting naked in the room. This should be why Jiang Su wanted to exchange places with Li Hanshan and let Li Hanshan sit in the room. Go inside, and stay outside by the door. Maybe there is a hole in the door.

But Li Hanshan was never disappointed.

At this moment, there was only one thing left in his mind.

Jiang Su's clothes were placed on his clothes.

Singles, right on his clothes.

There seemed to be a buzzing sound in his mind, and at that moment he could hardly think about anything. He thought that no matter who sees the underwear of the person he loves on his clothes, he will be as emotional and unable to calm down as he is.

He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and managed to regain his mind, but for a while he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and say: "This rain... When will it stop."

Jiang Su was far calmer than him, and his tone was not much different from usual. When Li Hanshan asked such a question, he followed Li Hanshan's words and replied, "I'm afraid it's not that fast, enough for you to dry your clothes."

Li Hanshan: "..."

Jiang Su brought up the matter of the clothes again, which obviously made Li Hanshan even more embarrassed. He hardly knew what to say. The two were silent for a while, and Fang Ting Jiang Su took the initiative to raise the topic and said, "You don't know anything about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. , before you left the Demon Sect, did you hear about the swordsmanship of my Shishui Sword Sect?"

Li Hanshan didn't understand why Jiang Su mentioned this matter, anyway, as long as he didn't mention his clothes or remind him of their current situation, he was willing to talk about any topic, so he nodded directly and said, "I've heard of it. ."

However, Jiang Su deliberately emphasized that he asked Li Hanshan in general, and said, "I heard the story of my master deceiving the leader Xie Wu, or the swordsmanship of my Zhishui sword school?"

Li Hanshan thought about it carefully, and answered sincerely: "The former has heard a lot, the latter... I have heard of it a little."

After all, the Zhishui Sword Sect is one of the leading sects with swords in the right way, and it has such a relationship with the Demon Sect. In the past, when his father taught him to practice swords, it was inevitable that he had to mention the Zhishui swordsmanship.

But it was only mentioned. Xie Zeli himself was not very familiar with the water-stopping swordsmanship, so it was naturally difficult for Li Hanshan to teach Li Hanshan how to crack the water-stopping swordsmanship.

Hearing Li Hanshan's answer, Jiang Su seemed to be thinking deeply, but he didn't know what he was thinking about. After a long pause, he said the next sentence.

"You know the water-stopping swordsmanship, why is it called the water-stopping swordsmanship?" Jiang Su didn't wait for Li Hanshan to answer, but he had already given the answer one step ahead, "You need to have a heart like water, be ruthless and have no desire, before you can use this sword. The law is cultivated to the extreme."

Li Hanshan was stunned for a while, and remembered in a trance that his father seemed to have said these words to him back then.

Father said that what Wen Qingting passed down was an unintelligible swordsmanship, and Wen Qingting himself couldn't figure it out, but so many people in Zhishui Sword Sect wanted to write letters with swords in hand.

He also remembered that it was precisely because of the so-called water-stopping swordsmanship that Xie Zeli had a little research on most of the exercises on the rivers and lakes, but he never thought about the swordsmanship of the water-stopping swordsmanship. No, some even look down on this rubbish handed down by Wen Qingting, so naturally they won't think about it and then teach Li Hanshan how to deal with it.

In addition to Xie Zeli's teaching back then, Li Hanshan had also heard Jiang Su mention the matter of renunciation several times, but he still can't understand why his swordsmanship can become better after renunciation. any conflict

Seeing that he didn't answer, Jiang Su asked again, "What do you think?"

Li Hanshan was silent for a moment, and then replied, "It is impossible for a person to be ruthless."

Not to mention the love between children, he felt that Jiang Su's obsession with the sword was originally a desire.

Not only that, if people live in the world, if they can really be ruthless and lustless, can this person still be considered a human being

Hearing his answer, Jiang Su couldn't help but smile, and said, "The renunciation and lust in the sword manual should only be about the love and lust of children."

Anyway, this is also a certain world, and it is not an orthodox martial arts story about fighting monsters and upgrading. Apart from this explanation, there should be no other meaning.

But even so, Li Hanshan still didn't understand.

These two feelings don't conflict with swordsmanship, do they? Could it be that if you stay like a jade all your life and don't talk about love, you can become a master? Then Shaolin is not everyone's martial arts master, and the Sanhua Palace is the bottom of the rivers and lakes.

Li Hanshan felt that this was nonsense.

He then retorted seriously and said, "The relationship between love and swordsmanship has nothing to do with it, right?"

"If you don't fall in love, don't you think about it all day long, how can you have the mind to focus on swordsmanship?" Jiang Su asked back, "You have already met my uncle and nephew, and they have never seriously studied swordsmanship— "

"That's the reason for the two of them." Li Hanshan could not wait to interrupt Jiang Su's delusions immediately, "They don't like swords like you do, and even if they don't focus on love, they will end up elsewhere. What does this have to do with whether they are in love with someone?"

Jiang Su paused: "But..."

"I heard you say that you are scrolling down the book of Xun Jian, and you want to know how Wen Qingting views all this." Li Hanshan frowned and said, "I don't think he meant to cut off your relationship. "

Jiang Su sighed helplessly, and said, "You have never seen him, so you are quite sure."

"This is unreasonable in the first place." Li Hanshan raised his eyebrows, "Since he is such a famous Jianghu senior, how can he not see that the affair is nonsense at all?"

Jiang Su: "But the word renunciation was written by him himself."

Li Hanshan: "I bet with you."

Jiang Suwan didn't expect that he would suddenly say such a sentence, he was a little puzzled, and was slightly startled, and asked: "Bet?"

"Don't you want to be invincible? I want to go in with you. When you get the second volume of the sword manual, everything will be revealed." Li Hanshan was rarely emotional, and said so many words in one breath, "If Wen Qingting The original intention is indeed to let all the disciples in the sect cut off their love, then I will... just... "

He looked left and right and saw half of the tattered fur hanging on the wall. He couldn't even tell what animal it was. Li Hanshan blurted out and said, "Then I'm just like this thing on the wall!"

Jiang Su laughed and said, "There's no need to make such a poisonous oath."

He was just laughing at the oath made by Li Hanshan, but he didn't react to what Li Hanshan said that he would accompany him to the heavens. He obviously didn't mind.

Li Hanshan breathed a sigh of relief.

The first time he tried to calculate Jiang Su, he was very worried and scared. He always felt that Jiang Su could see through him at a glance, but he never thought it would be so smooth.

He had been worried before. If Jiang Su accompanied him back to the church and got the two keys, Jiang Su would have to leave the church, and he would have to stay in the church instead of Xie Zeli. Didn't have the chance to see Jiang Su

Therefore, just now he tentatively said to Jiang Su that he wanted to follow Jiang Su to the sky to have a look, which was equivalent to indicating that he wanted to follow Jiang Su to find the remaining four keys, and Jiang Su did not object. , almost equivalent to agreeing with him on this matter.

Seeing that Li Hanshan was no longer speaking, Jiang Su apparently decided that this oath was unwilling to change, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, it's a deal."

Li Hanshan was very excited and turned around to look at the hanger that was separated from Jiang Su. He wanted to turn around and talk to Jiang Su, but he didn't want him to be excited. The movement was too big, and the hanger fell back with a wave of his hand. .

The whole shelf fell to Jiang Su's side, Jiang Su reacted quickly, and almost at that moment he stretched out his hand to support the hanger, but even so, the two of them still looked at each other.

Li Hanshan saw that Jiang Su was wearing a single coat, but he had not put it on properly. It was only loosely draped over his body. Under the clothes, a section of bare neck and skin could be seen, his collarbone was thin, and the ends of his wet hair were sticking to the top. The neck slid into the neckline, with a little water droplets, like jade moisturizing, and now he raised his hand to hold the clothes hanger and lifted the hem of the clothes, Li Hanshan couldn't help moving his gaze down, and caught a glimpse of a slender calf with soothing muscle lines, and then Hidden to the hem of the shirt is looming, but it is even more reverie.

Only then did Li Hanshan realize that he had lost his way, and he abruptly retracted his gaze, his heart pounding, as if at that moment, he suddenly comprehended many well-known verses, such as peony flowers that die as ghosts are also romantic, and beautiful women are rare for thousands of dollars. Laughing, the hero was sad about Meirenguan, his mind was full of wild thoughts, until Jiang Su coughed lightly, turned his eyes to the side, and lifted the hanger without changing his face, Li Hanshan suddenly realized something.

Jiang Su was wearing a dress anyway, he was different, he didn't wear anything at all!

The hanger was facing Jiang Su, and at least it covered some parts of Jiang Su's waist. Li Hanshan was almost completely exposed. He didn't know how much Jiang Su had seen, but he recalled that Jiang Su finally turned his eyes away to support the shelf. Appearance, he thinks... may not be very good.

Li Hanshan covered his face.

When he felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life, he dared not imagine what the scene just now was like in Jiang Su's mind. It looked as if he deliberately pushed down the hanger. He was... like a abnormal.

Jiang Su cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, I didn't see anything just now."

Li Hanshan: "..."

No, this is not what he thought!

This should have been what he said to Jiang Su!

Seeing that Li Hanshan was silent and refused to say a word to him, Jiang Su thought that Li Hanshan was still embarrassed for his sudden disappearance, so he coughed again, thought about his words, and said, "Don't worry, everyone is a man, I have what you have, don't be so shy."

Li Hanshan: "..."

Doesn't that mean he saw it

Li Hanshan was really speechless, and he didn't know what he was embarrassed about. Indeed, if Jiang Su said that the two were frank with each other, there was nothing to be ashamed of, even if they saw it, it didn't matter. Knowing that he likes him, as long as he pretends nothing has happened, he will not be embarrassed.

Li Hanshan took a deep breath and said with a dry smile, "You are right."

He hurriedly tugged the clothes on the hanger, regardless of whether the clothes were dry or not, he was about to put them on his body in a hurry, and was busy buttoning the clothes when he suddenly heard some other noises in the rush of rain outside. Like... footsteps.

Li Hanshan was startled, no matter who came, he couldn't face him as he was now, he hurriedly wanted to tie his clothes, but heard that Jiang Su was also hurriedly getting dressed.

The two of them were all in a hurry. In a hurry, Li Hanshan tore off Jiang Su's belt on the hanger. When he realized that it was wrong and wanted to put it back, Jiang Su had already tied his belt and hurriedly accompanied him. Said: "They are coming soon, let's get dressed first."

After thinking about it, Li Hanshan felt that Jiang Su was indeed right. Anyway, it was more important to put on the clothes first. The belt was just not a close-fitting garment.

But he obviously forgot that Jiang Su was used to wearing white clothes, and the belt was naturally white, but Li Hanshan was wearing black again today. Such a pure white belt tied around him was really eye-catching.

Jiang Su didn't get any better either. The belts of the two of them looked strange, but neither of them could care about the belts. The footsteps had reached the door, a little hasty, but they didn't sound hostile. , and the footsteps stopped outside the door, and a familiar voice sounded, saying: "It's their horse, fortunately, the two of them are here."

Jiang Su: "..."

It is Heling City.

Jiang Su never thought that He Lingcheng would turn back to find them, and if the person outside the door was He Lingcheng, Jiang Su couldn't help but looked down at Li Hanshan's belt on his waist and fell into deep thought.

It seems... not so good. With He Lingcheng's brain, he must be thinking crooked.

He heard that He Lingcheng had not yet arrived at the door, thinking that He Lingcheng would always knock on the door, and hurriedly pushed away the clothes hanger between the two, but he did not dare to speak, lest He Lingcheng would hear that he was going to find Li Hanshan to exchange belts, he just hurried Reaching out, he pulled the belt that was half tied on Li Hanshan's waist, and gave Li Hanshan a wink, causing him to immediately replace the belt.

Li Hanshan understood Jiang Su's meaning almost immediately. He hurriedly untied his belt, and he moved quickly. He untied the belt and handed it to Jiang Su, but Jiang Su didn't have time to make the next move. He Lingcheng had already pushed it away. out the door.

"Young Master! My subordinates finally found you!" He Lingcheng looked anxious, holding a paper umbrella and a jacket in his hand, and hurriedly said, "Just now I said it was going to rain, and I asked you to bring an umbrella, but you—"

The two people in the room were disheveled, apparently wearing them in a hurry. Jiang Su was holding his own belt, but Li Hanshan's belt was hanging on his waist. It looked like the two were wearing the wrong clothes, but... Wait a minute, why did the two of them wear the wrong clothes

He Lingcheng: "... I'm sorry, young master, this subordinate should not come."

He smiled awkwardly, and silently left his robe and paper umbrella in the corner of the house, then took a step back, pulled away Wu Qi who wanted to look in front of him, closed the door and turned away without saying a word.

Jiang Su stood silently in the room, knowing that He Lingcheng must have misunderstood.

Also, if he saw the situation in the house, he would have misunderstood.

Two people with such a high level of martial arts, without using internal strength to dry their clothes, took off their clothes and baked the fire here foolishly. Who would believe it? !

He sighed, and felt helpless for a while, and was unable to go to He Lingcheng to explain it. Anyway, it was not the first time that He Lingcheng misunderstood him. Hanshan continued to sit by the fire and toasted his clothes silently.

Li Hanshan frowned, seeing that Jiang Su would not leave, he had no choice but to continue to sit down, but he couldn't restrain his embarrassment, but he still had the embarrassing scene of the clothes hanger being pushed down by him just now.

He seemed to realize something.

Now that the two are alone and no one is bothering them, isn't this the embarrassment of suppressing talents, and it's time to show Jiang Su your heart

Li Hanshan finally gathered up his courage again and turned to look at Jiang Su.

Li Hanshan: "I have something to tell you—"

Jiang Su interrupted him and said, "I know."

Li Hanshan was startled: "You know? What do you know?"

But Jiang Su didn't have time to answer, they had heard He Lingcheng turn back, and hesitantly knocked on the door, saying, "Young Master, Jiang Shaoxia, the rain won't stop for a while, I brought you something to eat. of… "

Jiang Su immediately went over to open the door so that He Lingcheng could come in, but the door opened a crack, and he saw a black cat sneaking into the house, followed by Wu Qi's embarrassing explanation: "It doesn't like rain. ."

Jiang Su didn't mind.

He didn't hate small animals, and he even tried to hug the black cat, but the cat had already entered the house, so Wu Qi immediately followed him. , after coming in, he took a deep breath first, as if to smell the strange smell in the house. After all, after that kind of incident, there should be something different in the house.

But he smelled nothing.

There was only a musty smell in the room, accompanied by the smell of smoke when the firewood was burning, and there was no weird smell like He Lingcheng thought. He Lingcheng couldn't help but feel even more annoyed. It's not the same.

The young master was only a short distance away from succeeding, but he still interrupted him.

No, he has to find a way to make up for it.

He Lingcheng turned his head and saw that Jiang Su had picked up Wu Qi's cat, while Wu Qi stared nervously, neither of them noticed what was happening around him, He Lingcheng hurriedly came to Li Hanshan's side and asked Li Hanshan in a low voice , said: "Young Master, just now..."

Li Hanshan closed his eyes: "You misunderstood, we just want to dry the clothes."

He Lingcheng didn't want to believe it, but Li Hanshan looked sincere. He also knew that Young Master was not good at lying. He just believed what Li Hanshan said, but he couldn't help but ask, "Young Master... You haven't said it yet?"

Li Hanshan: "I was interrupted just now..."

He Lingcheng thought it was him who interrupted all this, and hurriedly apologized: "I shouldn't have come in without knocking on the door."

Li Hanshan: "...It's okay, I was interrupted many times, it's not bad for you this time."

He Lingcheng: "..."

What, it's just a confession, how can it be interrupted so many times

Li Hanshan looked at Jiang Su and saw that Jiang Su's attention was really not on the two of them, so he carefully led He Lingcheng aside, endured full of grievances, and told He Lingcheng everything that happened during this period of time, of course. , he automatically skipped the scene where he was seen by Jiang Su without clothes, and then whispered to He Lingcheng, "I wanted to try again."

He Lingcheng: "..."

He Lingcheng always felt that everything Li Hanshan described...something was wrong.

Jiang Su doesn't seem to be the same as before, and he is talking about the useless argument that the practice of water-stopping swordsmanship requires renunciation, but he seems to be entangled or hinted, but the words hidden in his words are based on the young master and so on. It is impossible for a straight mind to understand.

He Lingcheng looked at Jiang Su again, and saw that Jiang Su was still teasing Wu Qi's cat, but occasionally glanced at them, obviously caring about what they were talking about.

He Lingcheng suddenly understood.

He thought it was strange at first, but with Jiang Su's ability to speak a few words, he shouldn't be able to understand Li Hanshan's straightforward words. Now it seems that he thinks that Jiang Su is not I don't understand, but I deliberately pretend to be confused, just pretending that I don't know anything.

In this case, He Lingcheng felt that he should add another fire to the two of them.

He already knew that the root of Jiang Su's entanglement was the half of the water-stopping swordsmanship handed down by Wen Qingting. He felt that Wen Qingting wanted everyone in the door to end their relationship, which is why he was so entangled. If he wanted to help the young master, he would Just start with this one.

He Lingcheng returned to the fire, took a piece of firewood and fiddled with the fire, while deliberately saying to Jiang Su: "Jiang Shaoxia, I remember... You want to see the dossier related to Master Ling in my teaching, right?"

Jiang Su almost forgot about it, when He Lingcheng suddenly mentioned it, he nodded and said, "Yes."

"I'll have someone dig it out for you when I go back." He Lingcheng said, "By the way, I vaguely remember some, Jiang Shaoxia, would you like to hear it?"

Anyway, it's too boring to bake a fire here. It's okay to listen to the story. Jiang Su nodded and said, "Tell me."

He Lingcheng thought back for a while, adding fuel and vinegar.

"On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wen Qingting, the master without a sword, returned with the sect master. He slept on the same couch at night and talked for a long time, ordering the guards in the sect to leave the courtyard, and those without orders were not allowed to enter." He Lingcheng vividly said, "On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the two of them Go to the Lingquan in the mountains and bathe together; on the tenth day of the first lunar month, enjoy plum blossoms in the snow, and return drunk."

Jiang Su: "..."

For some reason, it sounds like it's just a few ordinary things, but when it comes out of He Lingcheng's mouth... inexplicably, something is not right.

"The sect leader ordered the deputy envoy to clean up the house, in case the sword is not holding the sword to rest on weekdays, but at night, the two of them often sleep on their feet and talk for a long time all night. It's just like meeting each other and hating the night, and the affection is deep." He Lingcheng thought about it again, and said, " I only remember that it is probably written in the dossier of the teaching, which may be more detailed."

Jiang Su: "Meticulous?"

"The sound was ambiguous in the middle of the night, and the two behaved intimately. Seriously, Jiang Shaoxia, I wouldn't talk nonsense. If it wasn't for that, how could I say that the master seduced the leader Xie Wu." He Lingcheng sighed and said again, "But now it seems that the word seduction is my prejudice. The two of them should be in love with each other, with deep love and righteousness, but it's a pity that they couldn't overcome the barrier between good and evil..."

He Lingcheng winked at Li Hanshan, but Li Hanshan didn't understand what He Lingcheng meant, so He Lingcheng had to frown, taking advantage of Jiang Su's frowning, he hurried past Li Hanshan's ear, lowered his voice, and hurriedly said: "Young master, he is Playing stupid."

Li Hanshan was startled: "Pretend... what?"

He looked at Jiang Su again, and the doubts in his heart for many days seemed to be gone in an instant. If Jiang Su had been acting stupid all the time, then it was no wonder that he felt that Jiang Su was behaving strangely these days.

Li Hanshan paused for a moment, and then continued He Lingcheng's words: "What's wrong with Wen Qingting? He is not in love himself, why do he ask the rest of the family to be in love."

Jiang Su: "..."

He Lingcheng said: "He's just talking nonsense. In this world, where is there any practice that needs to be cut off."

Jiang Su: "..."

Only then did Li Hanshan turn his eyes and look at Jiang Su. Seeing that Jiang Su didn't look at him, he finally couldn't help but say, "Jiang Su, you've always known that."

Jiang Su replied, "What do I know?"

Li Hanshan couldn't help his excitement for a while. He never thought that he was entangled for a long time, but it turned out that Jiang Su was just playing stupid with him. He was a little wronged, and he almost didn't think about it, saying: "You are still playing stupid!"

He Lingcheng: "..."

Done.

He Lingcheng felt that it was over.

He worked so hard for so long, but he forgot one thing.

When it comes to emotional matters, the young master is a fool.

Jiang Su pretended to be stupid and didn't want to admit it, but the young master had to say it so directly. Well, this road is blocked, and Jiang Su will never admit it.

Sure enough, Jiang Su raised his eyebrows and said, "Playing stupid? What is playing stupid? I don't understand what you're saying—"

Before he finished speaking, Li Hanshan had already grabbed his arm, as if he was holding back his breath, and without saying a word, he stepped forward, and almost happened to bump into Jiang Su's lips.
