Lu Wu bowed and looked up at Ye Zhiqiu.

It was already early spring, and the willow branches had also drawn out new shoots, with a faint goose yellow embellishment, reflecting Ye Zhiqiu's face in the setting sun.

Ye Zhiqiu was dressed in a black robe, and the green bamboo embroidered on the placket seemed to correspond to the buds of the willow branches.

Looking closely, Ye Zhiqiu at this moment actually has a unique charm.

Lu Wu was stunned for a while.

Since Lu Wu was just sensible, unlike other children's play, he often sneaked to the door of Guichun Zhai and timidly listened to Mr. talk about the "Tao", "Reason" and "Law" that he did not understand.

Mr. didn't care at all, and specially prepared a few futons for him in a corner of Guichun Zhai.

Over the years, although Lu Wu is a subordinate of Liufu, he has really felt Mr. respect and equality for himself here.

When Lu Wu himself was flipping through the ancient scrolls, he saw a word, "There is no class", I am afraid that it is Mr.

Ye Zhiqiu has also slowly become the most respected and respected person in Lu Wu except for Zhou Fu.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Lu Wu calmly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

I watched this child grow up, and I still remember the first time I met, he was just a newborn baby, blinking his big eyes, looking at the whole world curiously.

Since this child grew up, Ye Zhiqiu has paid attention to him intentionally or unintentionally.

It's an ordinary child.

But with some kind of fate.

Ye Zhiqiu sighed secretly in his heart, as if he had seen through everything about Lu Wu.

Past and present lives.

Lu Wu didn't understand what he meant, he just thought that Mr. was looking at himself.

Seeing that although he had changed into clean clothes, he was also dressed in sackcloth, and compared to Mr., he suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself.

As if sensing Lu Wu's cramped and uneasy, Ye Zhiqiu stretched out his hand and gently straightened Lu Wu's clothes: "The gentleman is poor." ”

Lu Wu woke up suddenly, his face was flushed, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he bowed down: "The student has lost his temper." ”

"You should learn more from Shu Ye. The gentleman said with a smile, looking back at Liu Shuye, who was still thinking about it in front of the case.

"Yes. Lu Wu responded respectfully.

"On the threshold of the eighth refining of the mud tire, how does it feel to suddenly return to the first seventh refinement?"

Lu Wu was suddenly secretly frightened, he had never mentioned this matter to anyone, but Ye Zhiqiu seemed to know it for a long time.

"Mr. Hui, it's just a matter of starting all over again, and it's not a big deal. Taking a deep breath, Lu Wu said.

"Not bad. Ye Zhiqiu nodded and praised him, "If you don't like things, you don't feel sad about yourself, but it's comparable to eight points of Shu Ye." ”

Hearing that Liu Shuye was eight points in the night, Lu Wu did not feel that he was belittling himself at all, but that he recognized himself the most.

"Misfortune and blessing are relied on, blessing and misfortune are lurking, you have fallen this time, and the road you have walked is also an opportunity for your mental tempering. Ye Zhiqiu smiled, but his eyes slowly moved down, looked at Lu Wu's dantian qi sea, and then looked up at Lu Wu, his eyes calm: "But some opportunities are not necessarily good." ”

Lu Wu suddenly sweated profusely, his body trembled, and he finally didn't speak.

Because of something.

Because of the sword light in the sea of dantian qi.

Because that sword light didn't belong to him.

It belongs to the young man sitting in the school hall at this moment.

Lu Wu's thoughts were racing for a while, as if he had returned to three years ago.

At that time, Lu Wu was still in the third refining of the mud tire.

On that day, he was the only one who came to the school to listen to the school, and Liu Shuye did not come because of his physical condition, so the gentleman asked him to yellowed the pages of a book and look at the ancient scrolls of the age to Liu Shuye.

Returning to Zi'anju, Lu Wu opened the scroll out of curiosity.

It was a landscape album that seemed to be a landscape outside the town.

For Lu Wu, who has always longed for the scenery outside the town, this book is like a treasure, and he immediately flipped through it carefully, forgetting the passage of time for a while, and forgetting to give the ancient scroll to Liu Shuye for the first time.

In the hut in the backyard, the ancient scrolls are blue and the night is deep.

Wisps of sleepiness hit.

Lu Wu gradually felt that in the album in his hand, there was a person standing by the turbid river, waving a sword and chanting poetry.

The mighty sword light was like a silver-white pilian, rolling up against the sky with the turbid river, as if the sword was about to break through the sky.

Good swordsmanship!

Although he had never practiced swordsmanship, Lu Wu was also amazed at the moment, and he couldn't wait to hold the sword and witness the sword light and the turbid river with the people in the painting.

The picture scroll seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer, Lu Wu seemed to be in it, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore sounded in his ears, and he could even smell the coolness and breath of the waves in the air.

Whoop –

In the torrent against the sky, the sword light raged out, and the void seemed to be unable to withstand the vast and sharp sword intent, and black cracks appeared, producing a distorted attraction!

The sword light was even brighter, and for a while, the torrent between heaven and earth hung high, and the rivers poured back!

Good hand...... The sword opens the sky!

Looking at this magnificent scene, Lu Wu only had a deep sense of amazement in his heart.

The sword light continued to sink into the crack in the void, and the crack grew bigger and bigger, and finally couldn't bear the raging sword light, and suddenly burst open!

Rumble!

The turbulent river suddenly fell from the void, with wisps of sword light, falling from the sky!

The man who held the sword before carried the sword behind him, took off the wine jug at his waist, drank it with his head up to the sky, and then laughed loudly, and the sound of happiness and freedom resounded through the world:

"Good, good, good! It seems that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days!"

When Lu Wu heard the voice, he was also passionate for a while, and his body seemed to be completely integrated into the picture scroll, rushing towards the overwhelming torrent.

Approaching the torrent and feeling the raging sword intent in it, Lu Wu seemed to have some kind of resonance with it, and his body threw himself into the torrent uncontrollably, and was instantly penetrated by thousands of sword lights!

The intense pain hit, and Lu Wu felt that every inch of his skin was cutting on his back, and the wisps of muscle were breaking!

But in his heart, he is inexplicably ethereal, not contaminated with a trace of dust.

"Good boy, hide your sword!" the man exclaimed, and then laughed out loud.

The sound of laughter still echoed between heaven and earth, the torrent hung high, the sword light flickered, like the sky hanging upside down, and the young man was in it, his eyes closed.

By the river, there is no more figure.

......

For a long time, Zhou Fu's voice came from his ears.

Lu Wu slowly opened his eyes, the early sun was already hanging high outside the door, and he still held the scroll in his hand.

It turned out to be just a dream.

Covered in sourness, it seems that he has experienced an inexplicable baptism.

In his sea of dantian qi, a sword appeared out of thin air, exuding a strong light.

Lu Wu knew that he might have obtained some terrible creation, so he directly returned the scroll to Ye Zhiqiu, feeling apprehensive.

Ye Zhiqiu just looked at Lu Wu carefully at that time and didn't say anything.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Zhiqiu has never mentioned this matter.

How did he know that today, he suddenly mentioned it.

"Students know what to do. Lu Wu knelt down in front of Ye Zhiqiu, his body lying deep on the ground, motionless.

"Hey," Ye Zhiqiu sighed, and then his eyes fell on Lu Wu's seemingly thin body: "Get up and speak." ”

Lu Wu answered, and then got up, but he kept his head down, never spoke, and quietly waited for Mr. to fall.

"What? Why don't you stop talking about 'gentlemen can be bullied'?" Ye Zhiqiu's words surprised Lu Wu again, it seemed that everything that happened to him was being seen by Mr.

Thinking of this, I gasped, Mr. is really very human!

"The purpose of wounding those two people with the light of the sword is to save people. Lu Wu said slightly.

"Hurting people to save people?" is an interesting remark. Ye Zhiqiu still had a peaceful smile on his face, looking at the young man in front of him playfully.

Lu Wu suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Zhiqiu with burning eyes: "It's not okay to hurt the people around me, no one is okay." ”

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Lu Wu with a little surprise, with admiration on his face, but asked, "What kind of truth is this? ”

"This is my truth!" Lu Wu said firmly, and something seemed to be slowly gathering in the depths of his eyes.

Ye Zhiqiu seemed to notice something, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, the fingers in his long sleeves trembled, and then laughed freely: "Your truth, haha, okay, it's your Lu Wu's truth." ”

It's like there's something funny in the world, but it's also the most serious thing.

But Lu Wu still lowered his head: "But for the eldest prince, I was wrong." ”

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the young man in front of him with appreciation, and said softly: "If you have this heart, it is enough." ”

Lu Wu looked up suspiciously: "Mr. doesn't blame me?"

"What's wrong with you, it's just that the book chose you," Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, and then looked back at Liu Shuye, who was sitting in the academy: "And he also chose you, this is your cause and effect." ”

After a pause, Ye Zhiqiu whispered to himself: "Today's cause, his daily fruit, you owe him, you will have the opportunity to repay." ”

Lu Wu didn't understand what he meant, and looked at Ye Zhiqiu with an inquiring look, but Ye Zhiqiu didn't elaborate.

"Gentleman's hidden weapon, what you wrote earlier was the word 'sword', but is it because of the Laoshizi in the sea of dantian qi?" Ye Zhiqiu said suddenly.

"No, it's just that as soon as the gentleman said it, I had this word in my head. Lu Wu said.

Ye Zhiqiu was silent, and the two looked at each other in inexplicable silence.

Lu Wu was uncomfortable by this silence, and since he had an answer to today's trip, he wanted to resign, but he heard Ye Zhiqiu suddenly say: "Xiao Li'er is the future recently. ”

"Miss Yunli said......" Lu Wu tugged at the corners of her mouth, "she said she didn't want to come today. ”

Ye Zhiqiu's eyes showed a certain doting look in the depths of his eyes, and then said: "It's okay if you don't come, it's okay if you don't come, but don't forget my old man." ”

Ye Zhiqiu likes Liu Yunli very much, and Lu Wu knows this.

For some reason, Ye Zhiqiu has always regarded Liu Yunli as his own, but Liu Yunli said that Ye Zhiqiu was a boring person, and he would tease Ye Zhiqiu from time to time.

But Ye Zhiqiu has never been unhappy or complaining about this, and the deep smile between his eyebrows makes people feel that this kind of teasing is still an inexplicable enjoyment.

"Have you ever regretted it?" Ye Zhiqiu asked suddenly, looking into Lu Wu's eyes.

Lu Wu listened to this question and knew what the gentleman was asking.

I still remember that on Liu Yunli's ninth birthday, she suddenly had a high fever and fell unconscious. The whole clan was worried, and Lafayette stayed awake for several days, visiting famous doctors in the town, but Liu Yunli's illness just didn't improve.

Seeing that Liu Yunli, who grew up together, was getting weaker and weaker, Lu Wu secretly entered the mountains behind the town to collect medicine without Zhou Fu's knowledge, hoping to meet some fairy grass and elixir that storytellers often mentioned, but he couldn't get it.

In desperation, Liu Shu went to consult Mr. at night, and Mr. was silent after reading it, but he found Lu Wu in private and told him that he needed to take his blood as a guide in order to solve Liu Yunli's "robbery".

Thinking of the friendship that grew up together, although Lu Wu didn't know what the "blood in the heart" Mr. said, he still agreed, and when he heard Mr. sigh, he only said "idiot", and Lu Wu was unconscious.

When Lu Wu woke up again, he learned that Liu Yunli's illness had been cured, and that it was Lu Wu who had taken effect on the medicine he had taken for him.

Lu Wu came back to his senses, and a trace of inexplicable tenderness flashed at the corner of his mouth.

"No regrets. Lu Wu shook his head, although he still didn't know what this blood was, but he never regretted it.

"Why?" Ye Zhiqiu asked softly.

"Because Miss Yunli, Grandpa Zhou, sir, and ......" Lu Wu looked at the figure in the school, "and Shu Yegongzi, they are all my most important people." ”

"Idiot, idiot!" Ye Zhiqiu sighed twice, but he seemed to remember something, and turned his head to look at the willow tree above his head affectionately, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lu Wu also resigned and turned to leave.

"However, that sword light ......" Ye Zhiqiu's voice suddenly came, but he didn't say much, only said four words:

"A gentleman's possession. ”

Lu Wu's body was shocked, and he turned his head and bowed to his husband, and then turned to leave.

......

The students are all gone, and finally, only Ye Zhiqiu is left in this spring house.

Ye Zhiqiu turned around and returned to the school, took out the bamboo boards handed over by the previous students, returned to the atrium, set up a ladder, and hung the bamboo boards on the willow branches.

There is already a sign hanging at the top, on which the word "Dao" is written in Juanxiu's font, and the signature is Liu Yunli.

Further down, Ye Zhiqiu hung Liu Shuye's bamboo board up, "Qi".

Further down, is Lu Wu's bamboo board, "Sword".

Further down, are other people's bamboo boards.

......

Finally finished hanging the bamboo board, but Ye Zhiqiu still didn't get off the ladder, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was hesitating about something.

Finally, he slowly reached out and took down Lu Wu's bamboo board with the word "sword" written on it and put it into his sleeve.

Walking down the ladder and looking against the sunset, countless halos of different colors slowly gathered in the void, one by one into the bamboo board, the words on the bamboo board flickered slightly, and then returned to calm.

Ye Zhiqiu calmly looked at the vision in front of him, and a quiet smile was revealed on his calm face.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and Gu Jing Wubo's eyes stared at the canopy behind the willow branches, squinting

Then his face returned to calm, sighed, stretched out his white and flawless palm, and plucked a leaf from the willow branch.

The leaf shone slightly in his hand, gradually turning into a dazzling light, but disappeared out of thin air in the next moment.

Then, Ye Zhiqiu looked back in the direction of the setting sun, slowly leaned down, bowed deeply, and was silent for a long time.

......

Outside the town, the extremely distant Cangqi Prefecture.

This is a small city on the edge of Cangqi Prefecture, in a desolate and rarely visited city.

But today, the originally peaceful town is now in a ruined and devastated state.

Everywhere there were people lying in pools of blood and whispering and wailing, and the whole city was filled with thick blood and miserable wails, a scene of hell on earth.

Above the city, there was an old man in black, with scales on his face, his forehead slightly raised, an old dragon clock, his shriveled body was slightly rickety, looking indifferently at the severed limbs and remnants of the city, and there was still a trace of blood hanging from the corners of his mouth that had not yet dried up.

"This is really a delicacy that I haven't seen in the Hidden Dragon Cave for many years!" the old man smiled fiercely, looked at the small town full of corpses, and licked his lips greedily, "The chaos of the Great Li Dynasty is coming, and the royal family is too busy to take care of itself, but it is really cheap, I can have a chance to satisfy this tongue desire!"

As soon as the words fell, a dazzling luminous light appeared silently from the void, flickering slightly at the head of the city, and the bright and soft light exuded a trace of warmth.

"Huh?" The fierce color in the old man's eyes skyrocketed, and when he looked back, his face suddenly turned pale and his whole body was cold!

The old man in black couldn't care about anything else, his ink-colored body swelled suddenly, and for a while, the wind and clouds moved, and the sky trembled!

I saw a pitch-black giant Jiao suddenly rise against the sky and soar into the sky!

The pitch-black scales on the giant Jiao's body revealed obscure runes, flashing with a metallic luster, as if they were flashing with cold light blades.

The huge body covered the sky and the sun, enveloping the entire town.

Roar!

The ink-colored giant dragon roared in the sky, the sound waves rolled, and many mountains and rocks on the ground instantly collapsed and turned into dust!

In the billowing smoke, the black giant Jiao did not rush towards the light cluster like a bright moon at the head of the city, but marched quickly in the opposite direction, wanting to tear the void and escape, but was surprised to find that the space of this heaven and earth was sealed by a terrifying worldly force.

In an instant, the blood-colored light in the two huge pupils slowly dissipated, replaced by a thick sense of despair and fear.

"Roar!" a huge dragon roar resounded through the heavens and the earth, full of pleading and helplessness.

Wow –

The light in the void approached the giant Jiao unhurriedly, and no matter how he dodged, he couldn't distance themselves from each other.

The light finally wrapped softly around the giant Jiao's whole body, and it seemed to be effortless.

"Roar!"

In the white light in the air, there was an angry and desperate roar of the giant Jiao.

The ink-colored giant Jiao struggled desperately, and its huge body that meandered for thousands of miles churned violently in the sea of clouds, releasing an endless wave of Xuan Qi.

The ocean-like waves of Xuan Qi, mixed with heavy qi and blood fluctuations, washed away the clouds and mist in the sky, overturned the buildings and mountains not far away, and the water in the mountains and rivers boiled and turned into a thick mist in the sky.

For a time, the heavens and the earth shook!

"Roar!"

Finally, the giant dragon let out a wail, and there was no sound.

Rumble!

The huge body of the giant Jiao suddenly exploded from the air, the flesh and blood flew, and the blood rain poured down from the sky, mixed with the slightest trace of true blood sprinkled on the world, like purple gems, wrapped in the great power left in the air, and swept towards the entire small city.

The city was ruined and devastated.

The crowd of people who fell in pools of blood on the street, no matter how important or urgent, even if their lives hung by a thread, were all submerged in the body by the true blood of the purple giant Jiao, and in an instant, the severed limbs were reborn, the wounds healed, and the qi and blood were surging like never before.

The huge movement of the small city instantly attracted a lot of attention, and many of them were the strongest who came in an instant, perceiving the aura of great power left between heaven and earth, all of which did not change color, and were inexplicably shocked.

In many unknowable places, there are also huge eyes that open up, perceive carefully, and are silent.

......

There are saints in the mountains, looking at a leaf, you can know the autumn of the world.
