Heji glanced at Alaya, as if she still had lingering fears about her swordsmanship. Although he didn't say it clearly, he frowned and left quickly. Alaiya held the sword and followed behind me.
I can understand Heji's feelings. In fact, in all fairness, everyone agreed to discuss and learn from each other, but when the other party made a move, it was a life-and-death posture, and no one would be happy to change it. There will even be all kinds of suspicions, even if you play such a game with close friends, you may end up cutting off your robes, let alone two people who don't know each other very well.
Presumably Heji will not easily guide Alaya on the sword in the future.
Alaya held the sword and said nothing, but she could see that she was depressed.
I patted her shoulder with a smile and said:
"What, are you worried?"
Alaya shook her head and said in a low voice:
"The swordsmanship taught by the young master must be the best swordsmanship. Moreover, Alaiya's talent is limited, so she can't learn those unpredictable swordsmanship. Only the swordsmanship taught by the young master can be more or less good. I'm just worried... If I It will take ten years to advance to the Sixth Great Consummation of Sword Dao, and within these ten years, Alaya is not sure if she can protect the young master well."
I just reacted.
In the past, Alaya rarely had the opportunity to communicate with those kendo masters, and she always practiced sword alone.
So she had expectations in her heart, always looking forward to being promoted tomorrow, and always felt that she practiced sword very fast. But in the end, someone suddenly told her that it would be several years at least to advance to the next level, which inevitably poured cold water on her enthusiasm.
I took Alaya's hand and said:
"Let's go for a walk in the street."
Alaiya didn't refuse, but she just refused to hold hands with me, and still followed me with her sword pressed.
I put my hands behind my head and looked at the eager sun above my head. The autumn tiger has just arrived, and the summer heat has not yet dissipated.
The hot temperature of the stone road came from the soles of the cloth shoes, and the heat wave was higher than the wave.
"When I first met you, you were alone in the crowd with that wooden sword. You were ridiculed and ignored. Why was I not like this? I was just a lord's son with no great ambitions, but I was forced to get involved in In all kinds of troubles, there is no peace until now. We are all bottom-level people, garbage, bedbugs, and aliens in the eyes of those upper-class mainstream people."
I looked back at Alaya and said lightly:
"Because they have never experienced the feeling of eating chaff and swallowing vegetables, and they have never understood the feeling of worrying about whether they can survive all the time. The fear and anxiety, our efforts to survive, are in our hearts. It’s worthless in their eyes.”
People come and go, bustling.
There were skinny girls selling baskets of wildflowers, and I bought a garland and put it on Alayah's head. Alaiya still followed me with a garland on her back, her face still expressionless, but the expression on her face eased a lot.
Alaya said stubbornly:
"The young master is different from Alaiya. The young master is the most powerful person Alaiya has ever seen. If the young master wants to do it, he can definitely do it. No matter what it is."
This time I did not refute.
I looked at Alaya, smiled and said:
"But, if I do everything, how can I have time to accompany you?"
Alaya tilted her head suspiciously.
I look away:
"I, I've seen heroes before. He's a real hero, the kind who doesn't mind sacrificing himself for the sake of the world. He's very strong, he can do a lot of incredible things by himself, and he's always there when everyone needs him. He appeared in time. But I seldom saw him smile, and he rarely communicated with me. Because everyone needed him, he had to keep running around in various places. He lived as a hero all his life. I admire him very much. But from then on, I was determined not to live like this."
I paused and said:
"That's why I don't really want to take care of things that can be done by me. Because it's boring. You and I are not heroes, you and I are ordinary people."
I smiled at Alaya and said:
"So you, cheer up! You have to grow faster than Heji, because you are my bodyguard, and my life and death are all tied to you. I have already thought about it, your sword It is a murderous sword, and the usual training method has little effect. If you want to advance by leaps and bounds, you still need to find another way. After a while, when Fang Shisan's group retreats, you and I will leave the city and head west."
I raised my hand and held it empty, made a sword move, and said to her:
"Killing, you are not good enough now, it will affect your state of mind. Let's go to the realm of the demons and kill it until the blood flows into a river. When the bones under your feet become mountains, and when you see the blood river and corpse sea, your swordsmanship will naturally be the world. First."
