in the hut.

Zhang Xuan sat at the table.

On the table, there are three books. Zhang Xuan picked up the Confucian scriptures and looked at them and said: "I have already memorized the Confucian scriptures, and I have already understood them. ”

He put down the Confucian scripture and looked at the medical book, "This medical book is also full of mathematics." ”

Then he picked up the art of war, "Although this art of war is memorized in full, it can't be mastered, it seems that this needs to be understood in the future!"

Zhang Xuan put down the book, got up and poured a cup of tea, walked to the door, took a sip of tea gently, and then looked in the direction of the Southern Sword Sect and said, "It's time to go to the Southern Sword Sect, where I will learn a higher martial arts, swordsmanship!"

After making up his mind, that night, Zhang Xuan packed his things and prepared to go to the Southern Sword Sect early the next morning.

The next day.

Zhang Xuan stood in the small courtyard, and at this time he had a burden on his shoulders.

He looked at the wooden house in front of him, this is the place where he has lived since he was a child, and he will inevitably be a little reluctant to leave suddenly.

"I'm leaving, I don't know when I'll be back!" Zhang Xuan sighed. With that, Zhang Xuan turned around to leave.

Suddenly, he saw a man walking towards him outside the courtyard, about the same age as Zhang Xuan.

The man was wearing a tight-fitting white dress, with upright facial features, high sword eyebrows, bright eyes, well-dressed, his hands naturally hanging down, and his temperament was free and easy.

"Hehe, this brother, can you borrow the ground to rest" The man greeted him and said when he saw Zhang Xuan.

"Naturally!" Zhang Xuan said with a smile, for some reason, this person gave him a good feeling.

The man in white looked at Zhang Xuan, "Brother Tai, can you ask for a bowl of water to quench your thirst!"

Zhang Xuan replied, "Yes! This brother will wait a minute. ”

Immediately, Zhang Xuan took the kettle and handed it to him. He picked up the kettle and drank it down as if it were wine.

After drinking, he returned the kettle to Zhang Xuan, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I've been traveling for too long, I'm really thirsty." ”

"It's okay!" Zhang Xuan said.

The man looked at Zhang Xuan and said, "This brother, where are you going?"

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Tai, I'm about to go to the Southern Sword Sect!"

The man smiled and said, "Great, I'm going to the Southern Sword Sect too, why don't we go the same way!"

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he smiled and said, "Really, Brother Tai is also going to the Southern Sword Sect!"

"Well, in Xia Ye Xiao, I haven't asked for the name of the godbrother Tai!" the man asked.

Zhang Xuan said: "Under Zhang Xuan." Can you come in and talk about it?"

"Of course you can!" Ye Xiao said with a smile, and followed Zhang Xuan into the wooden house, and the two chatted for a long time............

"Brother Zhang, why do you have to know each other when we meet, you and I are like-minded, I have a suggestion below, I don't know if Brother Zhang would like to listen to it. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Xuan and said, "Brother Zhang, since we are destined to meet, I want to marry Brother Zhang with Jinlan, and then go to the Southern Sword Sect together, what does Brother Zhang think?"

"Brother Ye, this is a very good statement, and it has this intention!" Zhang Xuan patted Ye Xiao's shoulder with his hand and said.

"Okay, then we'll take heaven and earth as proof!" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

After that, the two knelt side by side in the courtyard.

Ye Xiao turned his face and glanced at Zhang Xuan: "Brother Zhang, how many characters is your birthday?"

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "The third day of the ninth month!"

Ye Xiao smiled: "Haha, Brother Zhang, you are a month older than me, you are the eldest brother, and I am the virtuous brother, how about it." ”

"Very good, Brother Xian!" Zhang Xuan replied with satisfaction.

So the two of them faced the sky and said in unison: "Today, the two of us are brothers with different surnames here, not seeking to be born on the same day and month in the same year, but to die on the same day and month in the same year, sharing wealth and wealth, sharing difficulties and difficulties, and sharing honor and disgrace!"

"Brother Xian, please get up!" After speaking, Zhang Xuan helped Ye Xiao up.

"Big brother, just call me Xiao Ye!" Ye Xiao said.

Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Xuan and said, "Big brother, you and I thought we were brothers, now let the two of my brothers go to the Southern Sword Sect together!"

"Without further ado, let's hit the road now!"

"Okay, let's go!"

............

Jianyun Mountain.

At this time, two figures came to the gate of the South Sword Sect. These two people are Zhang Xuan and Ye Xiao.

The two of them walked to the door, looked at the magnificent building, and couldn't help but be amazed. I saw three big characters engraved on the door plaque in front of the mountain gate: Nanjian Sect.

At this time, an old man in a black robe came from the mountain gate, and the old man looked at Zhang Xuan and the two, "What are you two doing here?"

Zhang Xuan first saluted and said, "Senior, my two brothers want to enter the Southern Sword Sect to cultivate, please guide your seniors." ”

"Come with me!" said the old man, and turned to leave.

At this time, Zhang Xuan patted Ye Xiao: "Let's go, Xiao Ye, what are you still doing in a daze!"

Then, the two followed the old man in. Soon, they came to a martial arts training ground, which was huge, and at this time, there were at least more than 100 white-clothed disciples in the field, practicing swords.

Zhang Xuan looked at it, and was stunned, and Ye Xiao was also stunned.

The old man glanced at Zhang Xuan and said, "This is the martial arts training ground of my Southern Sword Sect, and it is a place where disciples gather to compete in martial arts. ”

It's huge!

This was Zhang Xuan's first thought.

"This way. The old man said, and walked in one direction.

Zhang Xuan and Ye Xiao hurriedly followed.

After a while, they came to a courtyard under the guidance of the old man, and the courtyard was very large.

The old man looked at Zhang Xuan and said, "This is the east courtyard of my Southern Sword Sect, and there are two courtyards in the Southern Sword Sect, both of which are where disciples live. My surname is Liu, and I am in charge here, you can call me Liu. ”

He handed the two tokens to Zhang Xuan and Ye Xiao: "This is the number of your room!"

Zhang Xuan took the token and said, "Thank you, Steward Liu!"

At this time, Ye Xiao suddenly said, "No need, I just have a house with my eldest brother!"

The old man said, "Are you sure?"

Ye Xiao said seriously: "I'm very sure!"

"Okay! Remember, get ready, someone will come to test you tomorrow, if you pass, you will be a disciple of my Southern Sword Sect, if you don't pass, go down the mountain" Steward Liu explained the rules to Zhang Xuan and the others, and left.

Zhang Xuan looked at Ye Xiao, and the two smiled at each other. Zhang Xuan: "Let's go!"

Soon, they found the room. Zhang Xuan opened the door, and the two walked in.

Zhang Xuan looked inside, the room was not big, but it was definitely much larger than Zhang Xuan's wooden house.

Ye Xiao said with satisfaction: "The conditions of this Southern Sword Sect are good and not bad, although they are not as good as my family's, but they are still barely okay!"

Zhang Xuan put down his burden, looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Xiao Ye, listen to what you said, isn't your family very rich?"

Ye Xiao turned around and replied: "It's not very rich, my family is in the Ye family in Liucheng, Qingzhou, even if it is the city lord's mansion, it is not necessarily richer than my family." ”

Zhang Xuan understood: "I see, I didn't expect you to be a member of a big family, Xiao Ye." ”

"Big brother, I'm so tired! I'll go rest first, you can sit by yourself!" said Ye Xiao and walked to the bedroom.

Zhang Xuan shook his head and smiled.

At night.

In the small courtyard in front of the door, in front of the stone table, Zhang Xuan and Ye Xiao sat face to face. In front of them, a jug of wine was placed on the table.

Zhang Xuan looked at Ye Xiao: "Do you really want to drink? I don't know how to drink, really, Xiao Ye, I don't know how to drink." ”

Ye Xiao poured a cup for Zhang Xuan first: "It's okay, no, you can learn!"

"Xiao Ye, really, I never drink alcohol. Besides, there will be a test tomorrow, next time!" Zhang Xuan denied.

"No, you have to drink it! Brother, how can my eldest brother not drink the wine I gave my eldest brother?" Ye Xiao said.

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said, "That's right, okay," Zhang Xuan took the glass of wine: "Drinking is not about how much, but who you drink with, brothers raise a glass and drink together, it is love, Xiaoye, right?"

"Well said, big brother, come and do it!" Ye Xiao laughed.

"Come on!"

The two drank it all together. However, after a cup, Zhang Xuan poured it on the table.

"Big brother, you drink too much...... Hahaha!" Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Xuan and laughed. After drinking a few glasses, Ye Xiao was also drunk, so he threw himself on the table and fell asleep.
