Lone Peak is located in the middle of Chaozhou and is the highest peak of the Chaozhou mountains. Sixty miles to the north is the Yongji Mountains, and one hundred and twenty miles to the north is the righteous path to see the sects.

The Lonely City Sect is located on a mountain platform fifteen zhang below the summit of Lonely Peak. There is a main hall due south, which is called "Canglan Palace". In the rear is the courtyard of the disciple's room and the kitchen warehouse, and the courtyard at the back is connected to the Gufeng Mountain, which is full of ruins and broken walls, and no one cares about it all year round. There is a high pavilion in the northeast corner of the Gucheng faction, which is called "Tibetan Sword Pavilion". There is a dry well in the northwest backyard, surrounded by weeds, and it has been abandoned for a long time.

The Gucheng faction has been a faction for a long time, and in its heyday, it was once the leader of the righteous sect, and its rules were harsh, and the disciples were not even more rebellious, so they were admired by the people of the world. However, the vicissitudes of the world are changeable, like a white cloud and a dog, and for some reason, the lonely peak is declining day by day. So much so that now there are no people, and there are only four disciples under the current head Lin Zhan, including Lin Tianwen. Life is completely self-sufficient by these few people, there are no miscellaneous servants, and now when it comes to the Lonely City faction, it is more like an ordinary family.

Lin Tianwen and Wen Qing were thieves, and tiptoed to the door of the "Canglan Palace" to look inside.

saw that Lin Zhan, Jiang Xuan, Zhang Chunyang and Zhong Lixuan had already sat around the dining table, and there were still five dishes and one soup on the table, rice porridge and rice, which were no different from usual.

"What are you looking at outside the door, why don't you come in and eat?" Lin Zhan sat due north and said flatly.

When Lin Tianwen and Wen Qing heard this, they swallowed a mouthful of saliva and walked cautiously towards the hall.

I saw that the furnishings of this Canglan Hall are very simple, there are no treasures and strange stones and other decorations, but it is exceptionally simple and clean, there is a mural on the north wall, due to the age, the color has faded in some places, but you can still see the scene in the painting: in the painting is the back of a man, I saw that he was dressed in black, wearing a black cloak, and the cloak was embroidered with two golden characters "Lone Peak"! He held a sword in his hand, and his head was covered with sleeves and hunting in the mountain wind. He stood tall on the peak, facing the mountains and the sea of clouds thoughtfully, and around him was surrounded by green smoke, clear light and underflow, fluttering, like a sword fairy!

There is a plaque hanging above the mural, which reads the four big characters of "Sword Qi Canglan", and the pen gesture is strong and powerful, like a knife cut.

Lin Tianwen and Wen Qing sat in their places in disagreement, and at the same time kept looking at Lin Zhan's face, for fear that Lin Zhan would find out that they had slipped down the mountain to play and blame him.

"Everyone is together, don't be stunned, let's eat!" Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

Hearing Shi Niang's words, Zhang Chunyang and Zhong Lishuo also moved their chopsticks one after another.

Lin Tianwen and Wen Qing also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and began to eat.

"Today, Li Huairen, the palace master of the Lingchong Palace of the Liuguang Sect, will go to the Zhanzhu faction on my behalf tomorrow, and personally deliver this letter to Ma Jinjie, the head of the Zhanzhu faction. As he spoke, Lin Zhan took out a beige envelope from his arms and handed it to Zhang Chunyang, who took the envelope with both hands and nodded yes. They have long been accustomed to it, and on weekdays, Lin Zhan never goes down the mountain for some reason, and all the daily necessities on the lonely peak are purchased by Zhang Chunyang and Zhong Lishuo when they go down the mountain.

Zhang Chunyang is Lin Zhan's eldest disciple, seventeen years old, seven years older than Lin Tianwen, with a upright face, burly figure, loyalty, honesty and kindness; Zhong Lishuo is the second disciple, fifteen years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, very handsome, with a cold personality like frost, and cherishing words like gold.

Lin Tianwen became curious, completely forgetting his mistake of going down the mountain without permission, and hurriedly asked: "Dad, it's the Streamer Sect and the Zhanzhu Sect, what's going on?"

Lin Zhan glanced at him and said coldly: "It's none of your business, eat." ”

Lin Tianwen didn't really care about the matter itself, but when he heard that the two senior brothers, Zhang Chunyang and Zhong Lixuan, could go down the mountain justifiably, his heart was extremely itchy, and he also went down the mountain with them. So he said, "I also want to go with my brothers......"

"No!" Lin Zhan said categorically.

"Why?!" Lin Tian asked, unwillingly.

"If I say no, I can't! Don't say it, eat. Lin Zhan said sternly. Jiang Xuan gently tugged Lin Zhan's sleeve and signaled not to get angry.

Seeing Lin Zhan's slight anger, everyone didn't dare to speak, and ate with their heads bored.

Lin Tianwen was sullen, he ate a lot of flat sugar gourds during the day, and he lost his appetite at this time, so he lowered his head and didn't eat.

After a while, Lin Zhan looked at Lin Tian and asked, sighed, and said, "After eating, you come to the bedroom to find me." ”

Lin Tianwen felt that his father must not be able to resist himself, so he agreed to his request to go down the mountain, although he was not hungry at all, he still pretended to gobble it up.

After dinner, it was already evening.

Lin Zhan and Jiang Xuan's bedroom of the Lonely City School are brightly lit, Lin Zhan is sitting in front of the bookcase and writing a codex, writing a codex every day is one thing he has insisted on since he was a child, and when he has nothing to write on weekdays, he will write some thoughts or experiences.

At this time, Jiang Xuan walked in with a cup of tea.

"Xuan'er, I'll go find water to drink when I'm thirsty, you don't have to always bring me tea, I can't bear to make you tired. Lin Zhan put down the book, looked at Jiang Xuan and said.

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "It's all old husbands and wives, what are you doing with all this? You and I respect each other like guests, and others are envious!" As she spoke, she gently put the teacup on the bookcase, and then continued with a worried face: "Brother Zhan, will it be too early to talk to Wen'er about this now?"

Lin Zhan shook his head and said, "I'm just giving him a wake-up call, lest he go astray and fall into a place of no return, becoming a sinner of the Lonely Peak through the ages." ”

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment before realizing Lin Zhan's thoughts, and said in surprise, "Do you mean Qing'er?"

Lin Zhan saw that his wife and his heart were warm, and he nodded and said: "Yes, Wen'er and Qing'er are too close, I'm just worried that if this continues, he and Qing'er will be like glue, and it will be difficult to separate." You also know that the male bloodline of the Gufeng Lin family has the bloodline of the sword demon, so it has been passed down for thousands of years, so as not to let the sword demon run amok outside the world. At first, your Penglai Island patriarch Qiu Limo and my ancestor Lin Yannan fell in love with each other, although the two did not get married, but Qiu Limo's predecessors still set up an ancestral motto, asking each generation of Penglai Island disciples to marry to Gufeng. And my ancestor Lin Yannan also made a vow that his children and grandchildren could only marry the disciples of Penglai Island. I don't know if it's the beauty of heaven, or if it's arranged in the dark, for thousands of years, every generation of descendants of Gufeng and Penglai is in love, and none of them are married against their will. You and I are ...... the same."

The corners of Jiang Xuan's mouth were slightly raised, his smile was like a flower, he reached out and gently hugged Lin Zhan's neck, and said softly: "I don't know why, Senior Brother Shen was so good to me back then, but I just fell in love with you......"

Lin Zhan's face turned red, he reached out and patted Jiang Xuan's plain hand, and said with a smile: "That can only show that you have a good vision! Where can your Senior Brother Shen compare to my one-ten-thousandth handsome?" After speaking, he hugged Jiang Xuanlou in his arms.

Jiang Xuan was in Lin Zhan's arms, infinitely shy, patted Lin Zhan's shoulder, and said angrily: "It's not serious! Wen'er's temper is really carved out of the same mold as you! If the children hear this, see how you will put on a majestic posture in front of them in the future!"

Lin Zhan laughed and said: "I am the head of the Lonely City Sect in front of outsiders, I am a high-ranking master in front of the children, I am a strict father in front of Wen'er, only in front of you, I am Lin Zhan!"

Jiang Xuan smiled and gently hammered Lin Zhan's shoulder, then gently leaned his head on Lin Zhan's solid chest, and said: "Ask your child to be thin-skinned and stubborn, don't break it for a while, just remind it, don't help the seedlings to grow, it's counterproductive." ”

Lin Zhan nodded, remembered a figure from before, and said, "Don't worry, after so many years, I won't let Wen'er become like Lin Feng......"

Jiang Xuan's expression was gloomy and he asked, "All these years, is there any news about him?"

Lin Zhan sighed and said, "No, Gufeng is his sad place, how can he come back again......

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Lin Tian was heard asking, "Dad, mother, the child is here!"

Jiang Xuan hurriedly left Lin Zhan's embrace and straightened his hair.

Lin Zhan also hurriedly picked up a book on the bookcase, coughed his throat and pretended to be majestic: "Come in!"

Lin Tianwen's face was full of joy, he walked to the bookcase, saw the book in Lin Zhan's hand, and said with a smile: "Dad, your book has been taken down......"

Lin Zhan was taken aback, and the book in his hand was really taken down, so he simply put down the book and said, "I came to you to discuss something with you." ”

Lin Tianwen thought that Lin Zhan agreed to accompany the two senior brothers to the Zhanzhu Sect, and hurriedly rejoiced: "Agree, agree, 10,000 agree!"

Lin Zhanqi said: "You agree before I say what it is, when did the rabbit cub become so happy?"

Lin Tian asked confidently and asked, "Can you let Senior Sister go with us?"

Lin Zhan immediately understood Lin Tianwen's thoughts, and when he heard him mention Wen Qing again, he immediately said sternly: "No!

Lin Tianwen's mood plummeted, and he frowned and asked, "Why, didn't you come to me to agree with me and my senior brothers to go to the Zhu Sect together?"

Lin Zhan thought for a moment, then thought of a way, so he said: "You can go, but the premise is that you have to promise me one thing!"

Jiang Xuan felt that Lin Zhan was too serious, and had reminded him to be tactful, so he reminded softly: "Brother Zhan......"

Lin Tian asked Xinju's father to be arbitrary, and he had never asked himself to agree to his request according to his own wishes, so he said, "Okay!

"This matter is related to group training, I want you to kneel down and make an oath. Lin Zhan said.

Lin Tianwen felt that this must be a big deal, so he didn't dare to slack off, knelt down, and palmed his palms to the sky.

Lin Zhan said: "If I say a word, you follow me to read a sentence." ”

"Hmm!"

"I sent Lin Tian, a descendant of the Lin family, to ask in my lonely city!"

"I sent Lin Tianwen, a descendant of the Lin family, to ask in my lonely city!" Lin Tianwen read along.

"Abide by the oath of your ancestor Lin Yannan, and don't dare to disobey!"

"Abide by the oath of your ancestor Lin Yannan, and don't dare to disobey!"

"In the future, I will only marry the disciples of Penglai Immortal Island as my wife, grow old together, and treat them sincerely!"

"I will only marry ...... in the future" Lin Tianwen's heart was shocked, his eyes widened and he stared at Lin Zhan, and he didn't follow anymore.

Lin Zhan looked at Lin Tian coldly and asked, "Read." ”

Lin Tianwen knew that once Lin Zhan issued an order with only one word, the matter must be very serious, but he still stood up with trembling lips.

"Read!"

Jiang Xuan couldn't bear it and persuaded: "Brother Zhan, don't force him." ”

Lin Zhanjian frowned and said, "This matter is related to the ancestor's last wishes, and it is also appropriate to force him!"

Jiang Xuan's heart was sour, and he asked with tears in his eyes: "So, your father also forced you like this back then? Did you and I meet and fall in love according to your oath?"

Lin Zhan turned his head, shook his head and said, "Naturally not, my ancestor didn't let me make an oath, I'm not afraid to ask him ......."

Lin Zhan has cared for her over the years, and Jiang Xuan can feel that Lin Zhan really loves her. Jiang Xuan looked at Lin Zhan's sincere eyes, and gradually calmed down.

"Don't say it! I won't swear an oath!" Lin Tianwen lowered his head, his face expressionless.

"What are you talking about?!" Lin Zhan said slightly angrily, he was even more sure that Lin Tianwen really had his own idea at the moment.

"Even if you don't let me go to the Zhu Sect this time, I won't make this oath!" Lin Tianwen said firmly.

"Rabbit cub! You have gone down the mountain so many times without permission, and I have turned a blind eye to you! You have to stand up for this oath! You have to stand up if you don't stand up!"

"I don't! I want to marry Senior Sister! I don't care what Penglai Island disciple he is! I want to marry only Senior Sister Wen Qing in my life!" Lin Tianwen suddenly raised his head and shouted with tears.

"Slap!", Lin Tianwen only felt a hot pain on his cheeks, and at the same time, his body flew out involuntarily.

Lin Tianwen covered his red cheeks with one hand, and sat up with one hand to sit up and look at Lin Zhan.

I saw Lin Zhan standing behind the bookcase, and said majestically: "Bastard thing! It's okay if you mess around with your senior sister on weekdays! Don't say that Wen Qing is your fellow disciple, even if you don't concentrate on cultivating the Tao, and think about some things about your children's private affairs all day long, this sin is also extremely heavy!"

Lin Tian was unwilling, he only felt that Wen Qingwan was so good, even if she was his fellow senior sister, even if she was three years older than him, he just wanted to be by her side all his life, once he thought that he would eventually start a family one day in the future, his heart was always sour.

"Punish you to kneel in the mourning hall for a night, and meditate in front of your ancestors and ancestors!" Lin Zhan said.
