sword in the air

In the early morning of the second day, the news of Wang Shengru's retreat had spread, and Gu Yi knew that his life in Zhengxuan Mountain would never be easy in the future.Those who study Taoism and seek Buddhism are superstitious, and feel that bastards are bad luck. The next day he came, the head teacher directly retreated. Wang Shengru hadn't entered the seclusion for ten years. There would be no such a coincidence in the world.

Examing Zhengxuan Mountain is not easy. This is the place that young people in the whole world dream of. If you enter Zhengxuan Mountain, you will be qualified to take the exam. Once you take the exam, you will have the opportunity to climb Gushan Wenyuan Pavilion. Well, if you are accepted as a disciple by some elder, you will always have your name in the world from now on.After entering Zhengxuan Mountain, you will be able to rise steadily in the future. This is the charm of this No. [-] mountain in the world.

Not everyone is as soft-hearted as Zhan Tiange, who feels distressed when his family dies. For most students, Gu Yi is a rule-breaker.

Gu Yi was thinking about something when he suddenly heard someone knock on the window: "Little brother."

Zhan Tiange and Ren Linshao appeared at the window, beckoned and said, "Come down, let's go to morning class."

Wang Shengru did things properly, and left him two playmates. Gu Yi walked out quickly, and Zhan Tiange stuffed an oil bag into Gu Yi's arms, "Here for you, eat it while it's hot, or you'll be hungry in the morning class."

Gu Yi took the buns, thanked them, and the three of them sat around the stone table in the center of the Cangxi Courtyard to have breakfast, and Gu Yi could feel the temperament of these two people in a strange way.

Zhan Tiange is very in line with Gu Yi's understanding of "good people". He is indecisive and he is probably favored by the aristocratic family. He has a soft personality and will not get angry no matter how bullied by others.Ren Lin Shaoren is a ghostly spirit, and the few words of concern in the open and in the dark are just for plagiarism. He wants to know what is the inside story of the Gu family extermination case, but he is just a little curious. What a disaster.

Gu Yi looked at the door of Xu Yunqian's room, saw that the window was open, and the person had disappeared, so he took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and said, "Senior brother, aren't you with us?"

"How dare we go with him." Ren Linshao muttered.

Zhan Tiange took over the conversation and said, "Senior brother Xu has to practice swords at the cliff of regret every day."

"That's right," Ren Linshao yelled, and said, "I don't know what I'm practicing by chopping at the waterfall alone."

Gu Yi smiled and said: "He probably wants to reach the realm where the sword can break the river."

"You know?" Ren Linshao felt very strange. He and Zhan Tiange had just entered the teacher's school not long ago, so they knew little about it.

Gu Yi nodded, and said: "My family also has this kind of saying when practicing swords. If you go down with a sword, you can divide the river, but if you draw a sword to cut off the water, have you heard it? That's what I said. My uncle has been practicing for more than 20 years. The waterfall shouldn't be far behind."

It was the first time Zhan Tiange heard that someone practiced swords like this, and asked, "What happened next? Did your uncle succeed?"

Gu Yi's expression darkened, he shook his head, and said, "He's dead."

Died in the Miemen case, the Gu family had two master-level swordsmen sitting in town, plus his father, and a hundred disciples, died so quietly, blood flowed into rivers overnight, the Gu family quickly fell, and it was said that the world's number one One-knife people will probably just sigh for a while, it is said that the Nanpai Hengbo Yanling Saber Technique has a detached status now, and has replaced the Gu Family Saber as the number one sword in the world.

Ren Shaolin coughed lightly, and poked Zhan Tiange's waist, reminding him which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted.Zhan Tiange was a little annoyed, feeling that he had hit on the sadness of his junior brother, but Gu Yi didn't feel anything, pointing to a majestic Taoist palace in the distance and asked: "Where is that place?"

Zhan Tiange glanced at it, and said, "Ah, that's Wenyuan Pavilion in Gushan, that is, the library mentioned by others, see that? There's a cat and a white crane on it."

Gu Yi stared intently for a while. The palace in the distance is located on the top of Huxiao Peak. It is very different from other Taoist palaces. The lower half is covered by thin clouds, like a fairyland on earth.A snow-white fat cat is lying on the eaves of the flying bridge, sleeping late, and a white crane is parked next to it to groom its wings. One crane and one cat are like the finishing touch, which immediately set off the status of this place, which is very approachable.

"Wenyuan Pavilion has a lot of background." Ren Linshao made a trick on purpose.

In fact, Gu Yi had heard of the Gushan Wenyuan Pavilion in Zhengxuan Mountain. At this time, he still wanted to hear Lin Shao, the "baixiaosheng", deliberately said: "Oh? Then you have to tell me about it."

Ren Linshao said proudly: "Wenyuan Pavilion has a collection of ten thousand volumes, three thousand volumes of inner strength and mental methods, three thousand volumes of sword skills and swordsmanship, three thousand volumes of Qimen Dunjia, and one thousand classics of famous medicine. Everyone wants to come to Zhengxuan Mountain to learn Taoism , apart from the detachment of Taoism, it is for the Wenyuan Pavilion, which is said to be the dream of all martial idiots in the world."

Ren Linshao said again: "Climb to the first floor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the kung fu has been refined for five years. The more you go up, the more difficult and mysterious it is. Wenyuan Pavilion is not open to the public. Currently, Xu Yunqian is the only disciple who has climbed to the third floor." It must be an exaggeration to increase the first floor for five years. This matter is too dependent on personal cultivation. Some people go up to the ninth floor and their cultivation regresses, but Xu Yunqian definitely has real skills to be able to go up to the third floor.

"Why are you qualified to go in?" Gu Yi asked.

"Examination." At this point, Young Master Ren Lin's expression became blank. Whenever he mentioned the exam, he became annoying, "Otherwise, what are we doing in the morning class?"

Zhan Tiange felt dizzy when he heard that, and said, "Stop talking, the exam is going to be in three months, I haven't memorized the books yet, and I haven't practiced the sword yet."

Ren Linshao said quietly: "But if you have a good relationship with Senior Brother Xu, tell him what you want to see, and he can bring you a copy."

Xu Yunqian is the only disciple who is qualified to enter the third floor. According to the regulations, he can enter Wenyuan Pavilion once a month. No one cares how long he goes in. When he comes out, he can only choose a cheat book to bring down.

"How is your relationship with Brother Xu?" Ren Linshao asked.

Gu Yi said thoughtfully, "It's not good, he doesn't like me, and I don't like him either."

Both Zhan Tiange and Ren Linshao expressed their understanding. There are not many people in this world who can fall into Xu Yunqian's eyes. Everyone is afraid of him. They patted Gu Yi on the shoulder and said, "Let's take the exam hard, we won't be able to go to the third floor. It’s okay to go to the first floor.”

Gu Yi did not give up on this, he always had a shortcut and would not take the right path in the world, just as he was by no means a person who could patiently practice swords against the Lancang River, but he became a little interested in Xu Yunqian, and always felt that he had something to do with this senior brother time to get along.

The clock has struck, and it's time for morning classes.

When Gu Yi went to the morning class, he really attracted some attention. Before he stepped into the Yuxu Palace, there was a lot of noise in the hall. Everyone took advantage of the fact that the husband had not come to the mountains, and most of the conversations were about Regarding the retreat of the teacher, Wang Shengru's retreat was very mysterious this time, and he didn't leak any unnecessary information.

As soon as Gu Yi arrived, the disciples were silent as if someone had strangled their necks. The entire hall was silent, and at the same time, dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at Gu Yi.

This is the orphan of the Gu Family Sword Sect.

I don't know who took the lead to say: "That's the related household?" This sentence was like a stone thrown into the water, and the silence of the hall was broken in an instant, and it suddenly became noisy again.

"You don't need to take an exam, you can come to class directly to learn from a teacher, this kind of honor is only available to juniors." You said humanely.

"Cut, you're just a broom star." Someone said leisurely: "If you kill the whole family, you still have the face to study."

The person who spoke was Zhou Qi, the eldest son of King Pingnan, and he was the only one who dared to say this sentence, but this sentence was too serious, and no one would argue with him after he finished speaking, including Gu Yi's brother Xu Yunqian, who propped his chin , seems to be looking forward to Gu Yi's next reaction, as far as he knows, Gu Yi is not so tempered.

Zhan Tiange was a little nervous. A normal person would be angry when he was humiliated like this, let alone these bad-tempered Jianghu people like them.Zhan Tiange had already seen Gu Yi clenched his fists, and just when he thought they were going to fight today, Gu Yi let go of his clenched fists, and his eyelashes trembled, "You're right."

No one expected such an answer. Young people are very angry, and they are about to explode at the slightest touch of fire. Who can hold their breath when they are said so?Does this little junior have no blood at all?

At this time, a senior brother couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay, Zhou Qi, you are almost done."

People who seek the Tao are always kind-hearted, and some people say: "Yes, it's too much."

Gu Yi is now advancing by retreating. He only said a word, and someone came forward to help him.Some of the students already sympathized with him, thinking that Gu Yi is really kind-hearted, he deserves to be from a decent family, his kind-hearted mind is admirable, and they whispered that Zhou Qi was just relying on the title of prince to domineering, a prince His Highness came to study, maybe he is also a related family, so I am ashamed to say that he is the orphan of Gu Daxia.

Zhou Qi made himself feel bored, and muttered a few words to himself, and everyone turned back to their own business.

Gu Yi asked Zhan Tiange: "Where should I go to get a set of textbooks?"

Just as Zhan Tiange came to his senses, he said, "I'll take you there right away."

Gu Yi took his books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone from Daotong, and with a basket of things in his arms, he began to hesitate facing the main hall. The Yuxu Palace is very large and can accommodate thousands of people. More than 900 disciples of Zhengxuan Mountain are here to seek Taoism. .The tables, chairs, and benches in the main hall are arranged horizontally, neatly divided like a chessboard, and the students sitting inside are like countless chess pieces.

Gu Yi hesitated in the face of such a group of people, like a thin vine trying to find a big tree to cling to.He was thinking about where to sit, Zhan Tiange and Ren Linshao waved to him, "Come, sit with us, it's lively."

Gu Yi saw that Xu Yunqian was empty next to him, and his position was particularly conspicuous. Others' desks were piled up in a mess, but Xu Yunqian's desk was not stained, except for a book and a pen. No.Gu Yi smiled at Zhan Tiange, then sat down on Xu Yunqian's left. After taking morning classes for so many years, no one dared to sit next to Xu Yunqian. Today, a person who is not afraid of death came, and there were many people around him for a while. They all looked back at him.

If they are brothers from the same school, there is still some brotherhood.

And Zhan Tiange and Ren Linshao looked at each other, and then suddenly realized, thinking that he must have told him that senior brother Xu could go to the Wenyuan Pavilion in Gushan, and that the junior brother had gone to get close, and Linshao Ren asked quietly: " Is the little junior brother planning to use a beauty trick?"

Zhan Tiange smiled when he heard this, and in all fairness, compared to Xu Yunqian, the younger junior brother is obviously more like a beauty, who is trying to trick whom?

Xu Yunqian raised his eyebrows, seeing Gu Yi sitting beside him carelessly, he didn't ask Xu Yunqian if he would like to.He was a little curious. He didn't speak for him just now, but this person was willing to get close to him.

"Hello senior brother." Gu Yi smiled at him.

Xu Yunqian thought he was very interesting and asked, "Do you have anything to ask of me?" People like Gu Yi would come to you only when they needed something from you.

"No," Gu Yi directly denied, saying: "Master said, let us take care of each other."

Xu Yunqian was speechless for a while, and there was nothing wrong with what he said. He suddenly remembered Wang Shengru's instructions to him, and his temper softened a little. He said, "Today I will talk about the ninth page of the "Lingbao Jing."

Gu Yi smiled, Zhou Qi's haze just now dissipated, and Xu Yunqian's heart was finally pried open.

The lecturer was an old man, and he didn't come out for a walk, so he sat upright on the top of the hall and preached, as if I've talked about everything, and you want to listen or not.

Gu Yi's head hurt when he heard him reading, and he felt as if it had just entered his left ear, and then he disappeared. He heard the old man read: "Only the five thousand words of morality, the supreme and true scriptures. Everything is covered, and the details There is no exception to this, the great principle of morality. Li Guanfu has already attained the Tao of a real person, and there is no one who does not learn five thousand texts. The disciples of Yin Xi and Song Xian are also the same. The so-called Mahayana classics..."

Zhan Tiange was right. Sure enough, the morning class was stinky, long and boring. Gu Yi had never heard such a boring class in his life, but he yawned after burning a stick of incense. He looked around and saw that most people were like that , only Xu Yunqian sat upright, with a straight back and a calm expression, and occasionally stopped to take two notes.

It was the first time for Gu Yi to listen to a sermon, and he didn’t understand anything. After Xu Yunqian picked up the pen, everyone picked up the pen, and Gu Yi had no choice but to pick up the pen to write and draw, but he remembered that it was not the main points of the master, but the description on the page. .

There were a few birdsong in the distance, the house sparrows were chirping, the gentleman on the stage was buzzing, and the students around were yawning. This was a rare time for Gu Yi to relax. The time seemed particularly long and short, and everything around him was happening. When it faded away, the sound of birds chirping, the sound of the teacher reading, and the sound of yawning merged into one, forming nothingness like flowers in a mirror and the moon in water. Gu Yi didn't need to use his brain, just sink into it, and he felt stable in his heart, without the deep hostility as before.

When he realized it, the master had finished speaking, and he drew a small portrait of a person on the page, only a rough outline, only a mole at the end of the eye was very vivid.This is Gu Yi's mother, Xiao Yunyu. Gu Yi stared at the small portrait, and his mother's instructions before she died are vivid in his memory.

"Gu Yi! You are the man of the Gu family, don't cry, and don't bow your head."

"Don't choose, don't choose, mother please."

"If you take this step, you will be ruined, and you will not be able to survive in the next life!"

But Gu Yi chose in the end. He made a wrong choice and killed his mother and younger brother. Zhou Qi was right, he was a bastard.

With a snap, Gu Yi closed the textbook, feeling very irritable.Gu Yi didn't care about Zhou Qi's sarcastic remarks because he had heard more vicious words from the assassin who came to kill his parents.If Zhan Tiange could experience the thirteenth day of September, splash his mother's blood on his face, and watch his five-year-old brother die in his arms, he would be so indifferent to Zhou Qi.

At this time, get out of class was over, and the students had packed up their things and were ready to leave. Zhan Tiange and Ren Linshao called him from afar, "Little brother, here, we have rice with dried tofu at noon today."

Gu Yi took a little effort to clean up his expression. He had lowered his head, but now he raised his head, smiling like that again, and quickly followed Zhan Tiange and Ren Linshao.

As soon as Gu Yi left, the "Lingbao Jing" with a small portrait left on the table was gently picked up by someone, and the person sighed, "Isn't this painted by Senior Brother Xu?"
