(Send a short story written five years ago to commemorate tomorrow's Chinese Valentine's Day)

When the bamboo leaves all over the sky came to an end with the sword dance, Yao said for the first time when I was dancing the sword: "Bing, why, why did you choose to be a swordsman instead of listening to my introduction to be a general? You will definitely become a famous general, why would you rather have a sword as your companion than be by my side?"

My name is Bing, and I am a swordsman;

Yao is the princess and once named me a general.

"Didn't you appreciate the elegance of the sword?"

The bamboo leaves flying all over the sky were floating in the air. I understood that it was the natural way of the sword that made Yao immersed herself in her own way. Although I was used to loneliness, I didn't want to do this.

Why don’t I want to be a general? I have been asking this question too?

(one)

In fact, I don’t know if I am a successful swordsman, I only know that Master is not.

That year, I was only 6 years old, and my master took me in, so I became my last disciple. The master asked me what weapon I wanted to use, and I chose sword; the master asked me why, and I chose silence...

The 12-year career in sword practice has made me develop a lonely personality and am used to dancing swords alone. In addition to having a string in my heart, I have been dancing the most elegant sword in the world.

The master has always cared about me the most. He can do whatever he wants to make me a swordsman because I carry his lifelong dreams, because he is not a qualified swordsman, and his inner demons are deeper than me.

Finally, at the age of 16, I learned all the elegant sword techniques in the world and completely accompanied by swords. That year my master gave me a sword - the Lonely Star - the Lonely Star Sword.

Finally, when I was 18 years old, my master passed away. Before my death, all his seven disciples came back. Except for me, they were the most brave generals in the empire. The master summoned us together for the first and last time.

"Apart from Bing, you are all generals, so you cannot reach the heavenly realm of martial arts, and Bing chose the swordsman and chose to be a companion of swords..."

"Master, is there any difference between swordsmen and other swordsmen?" I remember correctly. This seems to be the eldest brother.

"The swordsman chooses loneliness, and the one who chooses for the sake of his will is sentient beings..."

The master is a qualified swordsman, but in the words of the master he is not qualified because he is just used to loneliness, and the real swordsman should be—

He must like loneliness...

I kept saying to myself: Believe in myself, I am a qualified swordsman.

I like to use swords to measure life. I rarely walk out of the bamboo forest where I live, unless there are people who don’t know how to disturb my purity. Actually, I don’t want to kill them because I don’t want to dirty my sword. After all, this is the only thing left by the master, but every time I want to spare them, my sword often does not allow it, because the sword of a real swordsman cannot be controlled by human power.

What Yao likes most is when I dance the sword. She will come out of the capital at this time every day and has been like this for two years.

I don’t remember how I met Yao, and I don’t know why Yao likes me. I only know that one day I suddenly found her in my bamboo house. I only know that one day she suddenly told me that she fell in love with me. I only know that one day she began to fall in love with my sword. I only know that no matter what weather the weather has been, I only know that I have been there in the bamboo forest. I only know that I am no longer alone when I practice swords. I only know that I enjoy the feeling of being with someone.

But the swordsman has no emotions.

When a swordsman falls in love with someone, he is no longer a swordsman; because a swordsman is destined to be lonely for the rest of his life...

And in the words of the master back then: You are a first-class swordsman.

So, I have no feelings.

So, I never left with Yao.

Therefore, I have never accepted Yao's invitation to be a general in the empire.

So, I've been in the bamboo forest...

I practiced swordsmanship with my master at the age of 6. Everyone in the world knows the names of the master’s six disciples because they are the pillars of the empire. They basically know me in the sects because I am the master’s youngest disciple, but what they don’t know is that the master has the eighth disciple, which was in the third year of my entry. She was the same year as me, and she likes practicing swordsmanship with me the most.

The girl's name is Yue, and she is the only female disciple that the master has taken. On the quiet mountain, among the bamboo peaks like falling sunset, under the flying waterfall, the light of the sword covered two figures.

The master cares about me the most. I know that because of my talent, because I can learn all his sword skills in three years.

Master hates the moon, and I know that because he cares about me the most, because he wants to see what a swordsman can achieve in me, because he is not a qualified swordsman.

Yue was killed by Master, and I also know that if the person who cares about me the most kills the person I love the most, I can’t do anything…

After Yue left, she never loved anyone again, because some people will never forget them.

Later, the master died. He thought I was always blaming him. When he was dying, he told me that the moon was his daughter, but even his daughter could not wither his dreams throughout his life. When he was dying, I told him that I had never blamed him because of his dreams that made me an excellent swordsman, but I knew that I would never be, nor would I be, because - love...

(Four)

Yao is going to get married, and now the prince is in love with her and she is going to enter the palace. This is the last time she has come to see me for sword dancing. I promised her that I will give her the most elegant sword technique this day.

She told me that she didn't want to marry, but the imperial edict could not be disobeyed, otherwise, the nine clans would be destroyed!

She told me that she wanted to marry me.

She told me she was gone and would not come again.

She told me that she would think of me no matter whenever she was.

She told me that my sword could only dance for her.

She told me that I was a first-class master, but a nine-class swordsman.

Because the swordsman's sword is also a sword that requires people to appreciate; and she is the only one in the world who has admired my sword dance, and everyone else is dead...

I promised her that I would only dance for her in this life, because of my persistence and two years of persistence.

I told her that I would only let her see the elegance of swordsmanship.

I told her that I would never treat myself as a person because - Yao.

I am not an excellent swordsman, not because no one appreciates it, but because - love...

I have only loved one person in this life.

Finally, Yao entered the palace and entered the palace with a lifetime of sorrow.

It was that year that the prince rebelled, because of Yao's lifelong resentment.

In other words, the prince died the following year, and the rebellion was suppressed.

The following year, the prince and his family were implicated, and the nine clans were truly destroyed, and Yao was about to go to the execution ground.

On the day of the execution, it was said that the capital was filled with bamboo leaves. I knew it was Yao who dragged people to do it, and she would always know what I was thinking.

On the day of the execution, according to later generations, one person drifted into the execution ground with one sword. In the flying bamboo leaves, the executioners saw the elegance of sword techniques.

On the day of the execution, Yao suddenly disappeared from the eyes of the world, and the dignity of the royal family was not upheld.

All I know is that day, Yao was happy. She told me that she knew I would go to save her. She told me that she knew I would surprise everyone.

Yao was finally rescued by me, and what I paid was the Lone Star of the Sword.

That day, I finally realized that the once frozen heart had long melted.
