The bright moon sits on the ground

From the beginning of summer to the beginning of summer, everything is flourishing.

There was a lingering water vapor in the air, mixed with the gradually rising temperature, making people feel depressed.

Nie Qiu anxiously pulled the bag on his shoulders, frowning slightly.

The attendants sent him to the mouth of the valley and left. He had to walk alone on the dangerous road ahead.

He is only ten years old and has lived in the Nie family for seven years. He has never been to a far place before, let alone alone.

In Nie's house, Nie Qiu has three older brothers, why did he send him out?

Is it because of his shocking revelation when he was five years old?

The Nie family has strict rules. Nie Qiu learned poetry and book etiquette from an early age. Even though he was dissatisfied, he could only bite his lip and keep silent.

After all, it is the nature of a child.

Now that he was out of the sight of the attendants and walked into the valley alone, the resentment in Nie Qiu's heart became more and more intense.

There are tree roots protruding from the ground. If you don't pay attention, you may trip over it.

He lowered his head, pulled the bag on his shoulders, and walked forward step by step, kicking away the stones at his feet from time to time, and listening to the sound of round pebbles rolling on the ground, he felt a little better .

The valley is very clean. Nie Qiu walked for a while without hearing any noise, only the chirping of insects and birds lingering in his ears.

Probably because it was too clean, as if he was the only one left in this valley.

That's why he belatedly missed his family.

However, Nie Qiu also knows clearly that he has no way out. He is already ten years old and belongs to the famous Nie family. .

Thinking about it this way, my chest began to feel stuffy and painful, but my heart was empty.

Before he had time to mourn the spring and autumn, someone interrupted his train of thought not far away.

"Hey!"

A boy about Nie Qiu's age came out from behind the tree, with two leaves on his head.

Nie Qiu stopped and looked at the person in front of him.

The boy is wearing a light blue dress with a pattern of floating clouds tattooed on it, which corresponds to the name "Shen Yun Pavilion".

He smiled shyly, "Are you the new disciple?"

"My name is Nie Qiu."

"I am a disciple of Master 'Wen Yunshui', ranked fifth, everyone calls me Wen Wu."

He was probably talking about the name his master had given him.

Nie Qiu nodded, not wanting to talk to him too much.

Before coming to Shenyun Pavilion, Nie Chi told him that the one who accepted him as his apprentice was Changdeng known as "Cracking Cloud Saber", not "Wen Yunshui", since he and Wen Wu did not study under the same sect , Then there is no need to make a good relationship with him.

"Your senior sister is 'Hongxueyanmei' Yin Qingqing. You must know it. She is not in the valley now, so she can't come to pick you up in person. Master saw that I am about the same age as you, so he asked me to come."

"Nie Qiu, you are Master Chang Deng's second apprentice," Wen Wu said enviously while leading him to the valley, "I always thought that he would not accept any more apprentices."

They walked around a boulder and walked into the bamboo forest.

This kind of sect hidden in the deep mountains will more or less use the terrain to set up some organs. Only a few disciples in the sect know how to go, just to prevent people with evil intentions or enemies from coming to the door.

Xu had explained it in advance, so although Wen Wu was not very proficient, he still led Nie Qiu through the maze-like bamboo forest without disturbing any organs.

Once the quiet green faded, the temperature was significantly higher, but it was not as hot as before, which was annoying.

In front of them are large and small courtyards, patchwork, painted with a layer of white paint, and light blue tiles on the top, not luxurious, but not shabby, but showing a simple and simple beauty.

"By the way!" Wen Wu suddenly raised his hand and touched the back of his head, feeling quite embarrassed.

Nie Qiu looked over at the sound, and then found that his cheeks turned redder and redder after his gaze swept over him.

Wen Wu's fingers randomly touched his face twice, from his chin to his nose, and then he stammered and said, "My master and your master have a very good relationship. Junior sister, if you have anything to do, you can come Talk to your brother..."

Nie Qiu's face froze, "It's Junior Brother."

Wen Wu continued: "If you want to go out of the valley, you can also ask me to take you...huh?"

He paused, his expression gradually changed, his voice trembled, "Junior brother?"

Wen Wu took another look at this self-proclaimed junior, and thought with an immature mind that it really looked like a jade carving, with a face like a peach blossom and eyes full of spring water. Although it hadn't fully bloomed, it could still be seen. It must be a beautiful girl, absolutely impossible to be a junior.

However, the face of the person in front of him was really bad, so he had to swallow the rebuttal that slipped to his lips.

Nie Qiu didn't know how many times he was misidentified when he was a child.

He originally rejected this, but Wen Wu's act of stretching out his hand to pull him against his scales greatly reduced his favorability, and he wished to goug him out and leave. Unfortunately, with good self-cultivation, he had no choice but to stand where he was with a smile on his face Wait for his reaction.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Wu's face-changing speed really surprised Nie Qiu.

"I, I have a lot of things to do on weekdays. If you want to get out of the valley, you can ask your senior sister to take you out." Wen Wu turned his face and whispered, "It looks like a girl..."

Nie Qiu suddenly felt evil from his guts, his face was gloomy, his eyes were like knives, "What do you have to do to believe it?"

Wen Wu didn't expect him to hear it, and he waved his hand in embarrassment, "I don't believe it."

"I'll compete with you." Nie Qiu stretched out his hand and tugged at the bag on his shoulder. For a moment, he wanted to pull out the wooden knife that Nie Chi had prepared for him, and pounce on this naughty brother Wen Wu to kneel down and beg for mercy, "A few days later , you set the time."

Wen Wu heard Nie Qiu's words and thought it was funny. How could he fight with himself as a new student?

He was about to refuse, when he heard his handsome junior brother say: "You lost, you call me senior brother."

The two of them are about the same age. How can a ten-year-old boy stand such a provocation? you!"

After Wen Wu finished speaking, he turned his head and left.

Of course, Nie Qiu didn't know that he was scolded by Wen Yunshui after he went back.

He was worrying about other things now.

After Wen Wu left, not long after, the heat on Nie Qiu's body gradually dissipated, and his sanity returned. Then he belatedly remembered another thing: where is he going to find Chang Deng?

Although the number of disciples in Shenyun Pavilion is not many, there are also many, large and small courtyards are intertwined, it seems that they all look the same, but they seem to look completely different.

He wandered in the valley blankly for a long time, until his legs were sore and weak, but he couldn't bear to look for him in the direction Wen Wu had just walked, so he had to stop and go, and finally nestled under a tree. Moved.

Nie Qiu tapped his sore calf, buried his face in his knees, and let out a long sigh.

Petals fell from the branches one after another, covering his whole body.

Amidst the fragrance of flowers, Nie Qiu was tired and hungry, so he fell asleep unconsciously.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but when he opened his eyes, it was already dark.

He was wearing a thin outer shirt with a light scent of plum blossoms on it. It was similar to the clothes worn by Wen Wu that he had seen before. They were all cloud patterns on a blue background. The difference was that there were many patterns on the sleeves of the clothes With a "crack" word.

Nie Qiu was sleepy and his mind was dizzy. It took a while to wake up and looked up to his side.

The girl of fifteen or sixteen was leaning against the tree with her hands folded, and when she heard the noise, she turned her head and lowered her eyes to look at him, "Are you awake?"

Nie Qiu subconsciously nodded, but he didn't know who was in front of him, so he could only keep silent.

The girl bent down and took the coat that was on Nie Qiu's body, and said, "Come back with me to find Master when you wake up."

When she said that, Nie Qiu understood who she was.

Chang Deng's eldest disciple, his senior sister, Hongxue Yanmei Yin Qingqing.

As the night turned colder, it was especially noticeable in the mountains. Yin Qingqing took off her outer shirt and put it on. She walked unhurriedly, and she was always shoulder to shoulder with Nie Qiu, only half a step away at most.

Nie Qiu looked at her secretly: this senior sister tied her long black hair high, no makeup on her face, only some bright red on her lips, a long knife hanging on her waist, and she speaks and does things cleanly. He didn't procrastinate at all, threw away all the extra nonsense, and only talked about the main points - Nie Qiu is not very good at getting along with this kind of people.

Rather, he had never met such a person.

The people I met at the Nie's house in the past, either came for him or for the Nie's family, and they would never neglect him. As long as Nie Qiu has proper manners and says something nice, the other party will start talking. Chat up with him.

He couldn't open his mouth, and didn't know what to say, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

In the evening of Shenyun Pavilion, the chirping of insects in the bushes became more and more clear, making the night seem more tranquil.

Of course Yin Qingqing found out that her junior brother had been secretly looking at her.

She squinted her eyes and saw that Nie Qiu was pursing her lips and thinking hard.

What are the words that Nie Chi taught himself that can be used at this time?

As soon as he thought of this, he felt a hand stretch out from the side, put it on the soft hair on the top of his head, and touched it gently. A few times.

"Don't be nervous." A gentle smile appeared on Yin Qingqing's lips, "Master and sister are easy to get along with."

After all, she thought of something again and asked, "Why did Wen Wu throw you here like this?"

It may be because Yin Qingqing's close action just now made the sense of distance between them dissipate a lot. Now that Nie Qiu thinks of what he said to Wen Wu in a moment of enthusiasm, he feels blushing. He was originally ashamed to speak, but Yin Qing Qing looked at him seriously, waiting for his reply...

Nie Qiu had to answer this kind of gaze.

So he paused, and told his senior sister what happened before.

There was no unnecessary expression on Yin Qingqing's face, she nodded, "Understood, I will go and tell Master. If Master Wen Yunshui does not object, then I will see you on the competition stage in seven days."

She neither showed the slightest impatience nor called his behavior childish.

Nie Qiu thought that he was not allowed to do this kind of thing when he was in Nie's house, so it was no different from suing behind his back.

Perhaps such behavior is more inclined to hope that someone can explain himself and listen to his grievances.

"It's clearly the younger brother."

After a while, Yin Qingqing murmured.

Nie Qiu's footsteps stopped imperceptibly, and then briskly followed.
