I want to cultivate swordsman

After dinner, Xu Zhiqiu was not in a hurry to practice.

Instead, he stood in the center of the courtyard to feel the sword intent.

Although after that night, the Peach Blossom Sword Formation no longer appeared, but Xu Zhiqiu could still feel the existence of the sword in the courtyard. As long as he closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, he would be able to feel countless peach blossoms blooming around him , withering, and blooming again... This cycle is repeated continuously, and each petal seems to hide a sharp sword, stabbing people sharply.

This is the extraordinary feature of the Peach Blossom Sword Formation, which can make people fall into a very mysterious state.

At this moment, Xu Zhiqiu is in this state, throwing away distracting thoughts and concentrating on comprehension, whenever a peach blossom withers, falls, or annihilates, the sword intent on his body will become stronger, as if he is absorbing the nutrients of the peach blossom Same.

If other sword cultivators knew about this situation, they would be so surprised from ear to ear.

Because everyone who practices swords knows that it is quite difficult to understand the meaning of swords.

It is even more difficult to integrate the sword intent into oneself.

Many sword cultivators spend their entire lives in the Qi training realm, but they are stuck on the hurdle of comprehending the sword intent, which makes it difficult to improve their cultivation base.

But judging by Xu Zhiqiu's appearance, it only takes a short time to fully integrate the sword intent into his body.

.........

The night was getting thicker and darker, Xu Yueyao no longer played temper under her father's comfort.

She came out of the room chewing on half of a fish bone, and seeing Xu Zhiqiu standing motionless in the yard, she couldn't help being a little curious.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Xu Yueyao came over, tugged at Xu Zhiqiu's sleeve, and asked with her head tilted.

"Looking at the stars." Xu Zhiqiu responded a little casually, and withdrew from the state of comprehension.

Looking at the stars... Xu Yueyao raised her small face and looked at the night sky, but she couldn't find any stars after searching.

Xu Zhiqiu saw that her face was full of doubts, and her two thin eyebrows were almost squeezed together, so he chuckled again and said, "Close your eyes and you can see it without talking."

"Can you see the stars with your eyes closed?" Xu Yueyao had a question in her little head.

She closed her eyes in doubt, and closed her mouth by the way, but she still saw nothing. She thought that the time might be a little short, so she waited patiently for a while. At this moment, she suddenly felt something The weak wind lingered around, and it was very strange. It was already winter, but this lingering breeze was not cold at all, but carried a little warmth, as if blowing from spring across time.

Xu Yueyao opened her eyes in amazement, and saw that her elder brother had turned into a wooden figure again, with her eyes closed and motionless, she walked around a few times, and found that she could only feel the warm wind when she was relatively close to her elder brother, and not when she was farther away.

"It's weird..."

Xu Yueyao muttered something in her mouth, seeing that her elder brother didn't want to talk to her, she sat on Xu Zhiqiu's feet with a fish bone, and enjoyed the warmth brought by the breeze while gnawing on the fish.

Ah Huang in the yard also wanted to come over, but seeing Xu Yueyao was there, he didn't dare to go forward, so he could only lie down in the kennel wagging his tail.

After a while like this, the aunt yelled inside the house, telling Xu Yueyao to go back to sleep. The little girl was a little reluctant, but she didn't dare to disobey her mother's order, so she had no choice but to reluctantly go back to her own room.

As soon as she left, Ah Huang immediately ran out of the kennel, lying curled up beside Xu Zhiqiu's feet, rubbing her head from time to time, looking very enjoying and comfortable.

…………

When it was ugly, snowflakes fell in the night sky.

For some reason, it snowed so frequently this year, as if it was going to bury the entire Lin'an County.

Xu Zhiqiu opened his eyes in response, glanced at Dongxue, and whispered to himself, "It's still close."

Just a little bit, he was able to fully comprehend the sword intent.

But this last point is very difficult.

He remembered that he still had an appointment with Widow Pan, so he was not in a hurry.

"It's time to be ugly, and it's time to go for a walk."

Xu Zhiqiu took the time to leave the small courtyard and walked to the west of Wutong Street.

Widow Pan's house was just behind the tofu stall, a small courtyard. When Xu Zhiqiu came to the gate, the gate was indeed ajar and not locked, so he pushed it lightly and walked in.

The yard is a bit chaotic. The lights are still on in the north house, and a figure by the window can be vaguely seen. It should be Widow Pan who has not yet fallen asleep. There is a stone mill in the west corner of the yard, and a donkey is tied beside the mill. on the pillar.

When the donkey saw Xu Zhiqiu walk into the house, he barked a few times. Widow Pan in the house immediately came out when she heard the braying of the donkey. Seeing that it was Xu Zhiqiu, her face was full of smiles.

"Master Xu, you are here!"

Widow Pan took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and while welcoming Xu Zhiqiu into the room, she used the handkerchief to wipe off the snowflakes on his body.

Such enthusiasm made it difficult for Xu Zhiqiu to adapt.

Soon, the two entered the room together, and Widow Pan poured out a cup of tea that had been boiled long ago, put it on the table in front of Xu Zhiqiu, and said warmly, "Young Master Xu, sit down quickly and drink a cup of hot tea." .”

Xu Zhiqiu nodded, and didn't feel disgusted. He sat on the chair and took a sip of tea while looking at the furnishings in the house.

"I'm afraid I'm going to make you laugh." Seeing him drinking the tea she made herself, Widow Pan's smile became stronger, "My hut is very dilapidated, and I don't even have any decent decorations. I thought I should add a few new items when the Chinese New Year is coming, but I went to the store and didn’t dare to buy anything, those things are expensive, alas, I really want to eat people!”

At the end, there was a bit of complaint in his tone, probably because he had already scolded the shop owner in his heart.

Xu Zhiqiu didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he took a sip of tea and went straight to the topic: "Did sister feel any discomfort tonight?"

"That's not true." Widow Pan stopped talking when she heard Xu Zhiqiu's question, and shook her head after thinking about it seriously: "I haven't slept tonight, and I don't feel any discomfort, it's just..."

"that is?"

"It's just that the heartbeat is a little fast." Widow Pan said so.

Xu Zhiqiu was silent for a while, and said, "Then sister should go to the drugstore in the next street tomorrow."

Widow Pan covered her mouth and smiled, but didn't reply.

Xu Zhiqiu stood up from the chair and began to walk back and forth in the room. He carefully observed every corner, and finally found nothing that might be related to ghosts and ghosts.

It does appear to be a physical symptom.

Xu Zhiqiu thought so in his heart, and then said to Widow Pan: "I just checked, there is no evil thing in this house, and I didn't find anything abnormal when I went into the yard. I think my sister is not suffering from evil spirits, but something is wrong with her body. .”

"Physical problems...is that so?" Widow Pan was taken aback for a moment, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Zhiqiu hummed, and since he wasn't doing evil, he was about to say goodbye and go home, but just as he was about to speak, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he looked towards the wardrobe next to the wall.

He didn't feel anything unusual when he walked there just now, but now he sensed an extremely faint cold aura, which should be related to ghosts. He walked over immediately and opened the closet. Inside were all Widow Pan's clothes. .

He rummaged through his clothes until he found a sachet of sachets under his bellyband.

"Is this something from my sister?" Xu Zhiqiu picked up the sachet and asked.

"En." Widow Pan replied in a weak mosquito voice, her face flushed.

Xu Zhiqiu didn't care about Widow Pan's change, she tore open the sachet forcefully, and a dark green jade bead rolled out of it, showing a faint luster under the candlelight.

Xu Zhiqiu held the jade bead tightly, and that faint and almost imperceptible cold aura reappeared.

That's the problem with the beads.

Xu Zhiqiu can basically confirm that Widow Pan's symptoms should be caused by this jade bead. He asked, "When did my sister buy this sachet?"

"Ah?" Widow Pan came to her senses when she heard Xu Zhiqiu's sudden question. She didn't know what she was thinking just now.

Xu Zhiqiu had no choice but to ask again: "When did my sister buy this sachet?"

Widow Pan only heard it this time, and she thought about it for a while and said, "It's been about four or five days."

"Do you remember where you bought it?"

"It seems to be..." Widow Pan bit her fingertips and recalled again, "It seems that she bought it from an antique dealer."

Antique dealer?Xu Zhiqiu was startled and frowned.
