Chapter 9: The First Confrontation

In the Sword Clan village, there were six others who were about the same age as Daylight, all of them boys.

Yang flourishes and yin declines, which means that the combination and reproduction of this generation will be a problem.

Daylight didn't care about it at all, because no one would marry his daughter to him, and the nine-year-old was very open-minded about it.

Recently, I saw more than a dozen sword clan women with bulging bellies during the day, and it was estimated that the next birth sacrifice was not far away.

It is said that the fireworks at the birth festival are still very beautiful.

Speaking of the six boys, who were only one year older than Dayday, and because of the birth festival, the difference in their birthdays was no more than two months, and they studied together, played together, and only excluded Dayday, because he was a wild child who had been brought back from outside.

I often comfort myself during the day, it's not a big deal, but I don't have friends, and I get used to it after a long time.

But in the past few years, he has become more and more interested in fitting into that small group, because he sees that those children are so carefree and happy.

Join them and make you happy, he thought.

Bai Tian obeyed his father's words and followed closely behind the eldest boy, Jian Yusheng.

Jian Yusheng is the son of the sword elder, the eldest of these children, with a comfortable beautiful face, a kind personality, smart, good popularity, and a standard baby of other people's families.

"Don't follow me. Jian Yusheng shouted impatiently, he couldn't get rid of the fart worm of Daylight.

He pretended not to hear during the day, burying his face in the shadow of his hood, he liked it like this, and felt very secure.

Jian Yusheng sometimes accelerated, sometimes stopped, and the day followed closely, stopping when Jian Yusheng turned back, and continued to follow when he walked forward.

He was in this village when he had memories during the day, but the children who were about the same age as him never played with him.

He is an existence outside the circle, lonely and disjointed.

His father told him that the children are innocent people, and as long as they follow them every day, they will one day blend in, so he chose the most kind one by Day.

Follow Jian Yusheng through the small square in the center of the village, where the old council chamber sits and a statue and a stone pillar in the open space.

The stone pillar was originally used to ward off evil spirits, and the surface was carved with fierce demons and monsters.

Later, if any of the clan made a mistake, he would be tied to this stone pillar for several days and nights as punishment, and over time it became a pillar of execution.

Daylight carefully bypassed the pillar.

Seven or eight meters away from the torture pillar, there is a wooden statue more than two meters high.

Daylight looked at every detail of the statue with a fearful gaze.

The statue is dressed in a moss robe, its head is eroded beyond recognition, but its majesty is still there, and it holds a sword in its right hand, a veritable sword, because it is not wood, but a long sword with an ice blue body, which has been beaten by wind and rain, does not get dust, and is still as good as new.

The statue's other hand was on its chest, and it was supposed to be holding something, probably stolen by some mischievous child, and now it had a few dry pits.

Daylight has also observed the statue up close, and compared with the fact that the statue is terrifying, it is interesting that the base of the statue has been engraved with a line of words: Four Little Saints, Forever Friends, Will Not Hurt Each Other for the Rest of Their Lives.

Below are four figures, squares, triangles, circles, and prisms, like some kind of cipher.

Judging from the degree of wear and tear of the traces, it should have been carved for a long time, and only an outline was left after being polished by the years.

The wooden statue is nothing special except for these, but when I look at it during the day, I feel palpitations, and every time I bypass it from afar.

Jian Yusheng, who was walking in front, knew that the fart worm was afraid of that statue, that was the glory of the sword clan, the sword ancestor sword spirit void, and the immortal who saved the sword clan, which also proved that the outsider with the fart worm was a crooked and evil way.

Walking out of the village, five more boys appeared in front of them.

The day began to be nervous, intentionally or unintentionally following Jian Yusheng, hoping to hide his body in the shadow of the former.

The five boys greeted Jian Yusheng with a smile, oblivious to the daylight behind them.

The day was silent, huddled in the corner, the hood just covering the eyes, leaving only a glimmer of sight as they played a game of confrontation with wooden clubs and swords.

The blacksmith's son, Jianqiu, is as strong as a calf, and his opponent is the tattooist's son, Jianchen.

In less than two rounds, the swordsman's wooden stick was knocked away, and he shouted surrender with grinning teeth.

Jian Fenghua is the son of Orion in the clan, he has received some training since he was a child, his steps are elegant, and the style of wooden stick dance is on par with Jian Yusheng.

In the last group, the son of the punishment elder, Jian Parting, attacked violently and attacked again, and Jian Changqing, who was obviously taller and stronger than him, did not bear the pressure, grinned and abandoned the stick and surrendered.

Bai Tian saw the sword parting triumphantly and with some disdain.

Suddenly, the sword's parting head turned, and Daylight wanted to look away, but it was too late, and he was locked.

"Hey, I'm going to fight you. Jian Lidao shouted at Bai Day, "You always follow Jian Yusheng, you are not even a real Sword Clan, but Jian Bo brought back a wild boy who doesn't know who his mother is." ”

"No!" Jian Qiu said, "You can't bully people. ”

"It's not bullying, I'm about the same age as him, and I'll give him a "sword" and play fair. The sword parted and threw the stick out of his hand.

Daylight caught the wooden stick thrown at him, and he didn't know what to do, the wooden stick couldn't even be called a wooden sword, it was just a fork of a tree, it was very straight, and he couldn't feel the weight.

"If you lose, stay away from us. The sword parted and snatched the wooden stick from Jian Changqing's hand.

"Here you go again, why do you always have to add chips to the competition? Jianchen covered his head and was speechless. "Jian Yusheng, stop him quickly, and let Jian Bo know that we should be punished again. ”

"Just let them try. As soon as Jian Yusheng spoke, the others were silent, but surprise flashed on their faces.

"Do you accept it?" said Jian Yusheng.

Bai Tian heard the words coming at him, nodded, and had a trace of expectation in his heart, maybe if he won, these people would be able to identify with him.

"Okay! Falling to the ground is losing, and falling off the weapon is losing! Admitting defeat can also be over. Jian parted excitedly, he had long seen this outsider unpleasant, and now he couldn't wait to teach him a lesson.

The confrontation begins.

The others gave way to the clearing, and the day and the sword parted and stood in opposition to each other.

Bai Tian clenched the wooden stick in his hand, thinking not about how to win, but how not to hurt the sword and part.

The other party didn't give him a chance to think, and the wooden stick came through the wind.

The clumsy lifting of the stick during the day resisted.

"Come on, rookie!" the sword made a parting move, and the wooden stick slashed across Bai Day's cheek, rubbing off a layer of skin, and it hurt hotly.

Daylight knows that the other party will not show mercy, and he is too capable of pretending.

What does it mean to pretend to be forced? The word pops up in my mind.

Daylight shook his head, and his head kept popping out of strange words.

In the face of attack, Daylight still did not counterattack, blindly defending.

On the other hand, the sword's parting move was sharp, and within a while, the day was covered with abrasions and bruises.

"Daylight, you're fighting back!" shouted the swordsman.

Bai Tian was also a little breathless, aiming at the sword parting with a lightning stab in the chest.

Halfway through, he lost his speed and strength due to hesitation, and was easily missed by the sword's parting, and flew up and kicked him in the abdomen.

He stumbled during the day, but he did not fall to the ground.

"Hey, how is your sword so soft, don't fight, I can't bear to look at it. The swordsman shouted at the day.

"He didn't fall to the ground, and he didn't admit defeat, I really don't know how Jian Bo gave birth to such a wreck. The sword pouted partingly.

No one noticed that Dayday's expression had changed, and his dark eyes were as calm as water.

"See how long you can last. The sword parted with a heavy blow, a blow that was simple and swift, and went straight to the forehead.

Perhaps Sword Parting saw the change of daylight, but he didn't care, if he was more cautious, it wouldn't be so miserable.

Daylight clenched the wooden stick with one hand and swung it quickly, this blow from the hand of a nine-year-old child looked a little ferocious.

As soon as the two wooden sticks collided, the 'sword' in the sword parting hand was shocked and came out.

The wooden stick of the day was drawn on the face of the sword parting like a bamboo.

He reined in a few moments of strength, but still caused a lot of damage, and a long strip of flesh splattered out of the left side of the sword's face.

Jian Lidao covered his bleeding cheeks, looked at the wooden stick that was knocked away in disbelief, his palms were numb, and he looked at Bai Tian as if he was fine.

"Monsterβ€”"

"What a monster, it's because you're not good at learning. Jian Qiu stood between the two, "The sword parted, the weapons flew, you lost." ”

"No," Sword Parting covered his face with one hand and pointed to the day with the other, his eyes full of horror, the blow that left an indelible impression on the ten-year-old, "You are a monster." ”

"I'm not a monster. Bai Tian said calmly, "It's just a little stronger."

Jian Yusheng said: "Take the sword and leave to see a doctor." ”

Jianchen shook his head: "It's just a competition, you're too ruthless." ”

......

Everyone was gone, leaving only Daylight alone.

He sat where he was, unable to understand why he had won and had not gotten the result he wanted.

He looked at the stick in his hand in a daze until the sun sank.......
