The sky was overcast and the moon was dull. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A man ran desperately through the quiet and deserted streets, and on this night when he couldn't see his fingers, he couldn't see the expression on his face, only the violent, irregular gasps coming from his mouth. Soon, exhausted, he could no longer run, and suddenly fell to his knees. He didn't dare to turn back, for fear that if he turned around, he would fall into the endless abyss. He tried to listen to nearby sounds, but all that resounded in his head was his own pounding heartbeat.

The man was relieved that nothing was unusual, but in the next moment, a sound of flesh-cutting sounded, and a wisp of dark clouds gradually drifted away, revealing the crescent moon that bent behind it. The moonlight shrouded the street again, and at one point on the street, the young man held a sharp blade through the chest of the man in front of him.

"Poof." Drawing out his long sword, he indifferently watched the corpse in front of him fall, blood splashed all over his body, and the young man bathed in blood light seemed to be Shura from hell in the night.

"Mission, done." The sword was sheathed, and the boy turned his back and disappeared into the darkness of the night with his companions.

……

The early morning sunlight re-shone on the top of Tianliang Mountain, and the boys and girls ate and chatted as usual in the restaurant that belonged only to them.

"Yesterday's mission was successfully completed, and everyone is still alive and well, it's good." Qing Rong stretched and said a little lazily. "Hey, it can't be said to be too smooth, the flying knife that guy threw out is really insidious, if Xiao Yu hadn't intercepted it, the fat man wouldn't be here now." A boy said. "Yes, Xiao Yu is amazing, he was so good at the first mission, it seems that Xiao Yu is really talented in this regard." A girl should also be kind, and her eyes looking at Xingyu were obviously full of admiration and strange brilliance.

"Smack." With a clear sound, the fat man dropped his chopsticks and walked out of the room with his head bowed under everyone's gaze. "Fat man......" Xing Yu looked at the back of the fat man and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qing Rong. Don't worry about him, maybe he is a little unconvinced by you, this guy is like this, it will be fine after a long time. "Oh." Nodding slowly, Xing Yu lowered his head to eat as he took out a flying knife from his arms. This flying knife was the sharp weapon that the target threw at the fat man last night, and the black body made it avoid everyone's attention and get close to the fat man under the protection of the night. Star Feather stared at the throwing knife, which had a distinct scratch on it. At that moment, he drew his long sword and intercepted it, and the fat man was spared. Although he was safe and sound, there was a faint question in his heart......

Six days had passed since that short vacation, and Master had returned three days after his last departure, and after another two days of supervising his practice, just last night he had followed a group of companions on his first mission: to assassinate the village chief in the next village on Tianliang Mountain. The mission was successfully completed, but he found that he was not as happy as he had imagined.

"Star Feather?" "Huh?" Xing Yu looked up and found that Qing Rong was watching him. "You look like you're on your mind."

"Oh." Xing Yu paused for a moment, and then sighed: "Sure enough, it has something to do with last night's incident." "Yes." Qing Rong smiled, "It doesn't matter, after all, Xiao Yu is on a mission for the first time, and it should be the first time to kill someone." It's good to be in this state now. ”

Xing Yu looked at Qing Rong, according to what she said, what should her normal state be? What about the first killing? Nausea, vomiting? Or don't think about tea and dinner, and don't care about people in your heart? No, he didn't feel this way at all, on the contrary, when the blood spilled all over his body, what inadvertently surged through his heart was a trace of pleasure. He felt that this was not the pleasure of violent catharsis, but the feeling of a person who had been lost for a long time and suddenly found a home. This feeling brings up the question, what happened to me before?

All his memories started in Meteor Town, and before that, his mind went blank. Parents, mothers, and sisters have existed from the beginning in my impression. I once asked my parents, and they said that they were too young to remember, so they didn't care. But now, the sudden tragedy of that night, the amazing healing power he showed after being injured, his extraordinary speed of judgment in a moment, and his own familiarity and pleasure in the murder of an assassin, a series of events made him doubt his own experience and even his personality.

The thing he was obsessed with was not about killing people in the first place.

"Whatever, let's eat first." Muttering to himself, Xing Yu lowered his head to eat, but couldn't help but sneak a glance at Qing Rong. Her expression just now touched Xing Yu a little. "She's a person who can smile easily when the topic of murder is discussed." Xingyu thought. How did Qingrong manage to be so calm? Even if Xing Yu himself didn't take killing too seriously, but he had the experience of seeing his relatives killed, and he couldn't laugh at such a thing after killing someone anyway. Most of the children here have similar experiences when they were young, they were orphaned after a tragic event, and then brought here by the Master. This is true even for me when I first came here. How did Qingrong, who has a similar experience, do this?

And what does the master, who changed their fate, want to do?

Shaking his head, Xing Yu didn't want to think about these messy questions anymore, and just wanted to eat wholeheartedly, but found that the food in the bowl had unconsciously bottomed out. "Let's go practice." Everyone quickly finished their breakfast, and one by one left the house, and went to stand on the flat ground outside the house as usual.

"Practice your fists this morning." Master said, "There are already planks in the ashram, and you can go there and pick one by one, and ask for it to be broken with your fists, and I will go and check it at noon." "The dojo in Master's mouth is the spacious training place that Qing Rong took Xingyu to before." In addition," the master looked at the group, "Cang Han, Fei Xuan, and Xing Yu come with me." ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, everyone frowned. Cang Han and Li Feixuan were expected, usually the master often called the two of them out and didn't know what to do, and the two of them were relatively silent, and everyone didn't ask. But the star feathers added today puzzled them. However, they were puzzled, everyone still went to the dojo to practice honestly, and Xing Yu had no choice but to follow the senior brother and the second senior brother to another place with the master.

The attic where Master lived was surrounded by a dense bamboo forest, and in one of the bamboo forests, an inconspicuous path gradually appeared in Xingyu's field of vision. The three of them stepped on the trail and walked towards an area that was strange and unknown to Star Feather.

"Huh?" After walking through the dense and deep bamboo forest for a while, an open area appeared in front of Xingyu's eyes. Ahead, birds and flowers are singing, and a waterfall is pouring down from the sky with endless flowing water, and the sound of water crashing against rocks roars. The breeze brought fresh water vapor to his face, making Xingyu extremely refreshed.

"This is ......" Xing Yu took a deep breath, and the cells in his body seemed to have been baptized, making people want to shout comfortably. Back Mountain. Master's voice sounded faintly, "Do you know why I brought you here?" ”

"I don't know." Xingyu said.

"I heard that you saved Wei Cheng's life last night?" Master asked. "Well, it's not a rescue, it's just a rush to help him." Xing Yu scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.

"Brush!" A sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded, and in Xing Yu's eyes, a black shadow was rushing towards him at a speed that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye! In an instant, Xing Yu forcibly focused his body away. "Whoosh." A dark shadow swept to the side against his clothes. Xing Yu stayed for a while, and the cold sweat gradually wet his clothes. "Division...... Master, what do you want to do? His mouth became a little stammered, and Xingyu asked timidly. Just now, if you don't react in time, you will die!

"That one just now, it's a dart." Master said, "Cang Han, Fei Xuan, what do you think? Master asked slowly. Amazing reaction speed. Li Feixuan said.

"Interesting, I'm still a layman, and I'm born with extraordinary reaction speed, which just explains how he dodged my blow that day." The corners of Cang Han's mouth hooked, and there was a little more curiosity in his eyes when he looked at Xing Yu.

"That's it." Master looked at Xing Yu, "So, do you want to learn swordsmanship from me?" "Learn swordsmanship?" Xing Yu raised his eyebrows, feeling that his brain was a little short-circuited. "Usually when I call them away during training, I just want to learn swordsmanship from me." Master said, "I was looking for so many children back then, in fact, I wanted to find three people to pass on my swordsmanship and treat them in the same way as training assassins, in fact, I wanted them to improve their physical fitness, so that they could have the basic conditions to become swordsmanship inheritors. As for accepting the commission to assassinate the target, one is to temper the children's will, and the other is to make a living from their profits. Master glanced at Cang Han and Li Feixuan, "After so many years, only the two of them can meet my requirements." In fact, my mission is to pass on three different sets of swordsmanship to three people, and then let them carry it forward. The remaining set of swordsmanship requires extremely high speed and agility, and the third candidate has never been found, but your reaction speed and accurate judgment make me truly realize today that you are the third person I am looking for! ”

Xing Yu was stunned. It was the first time he had seen Master say so many things at once, but although Master suddenly said these things in a hurry, and the reasons seemed a little unbelievable, it could be seen from Master's expression that his words were not false at all. It seems that the master's purpose in cultivating everyone is to cultivate swordsmanship inheritors as he said. Xing Yu felt a little resentful in his heart for the partners who were not chosen and who died before, after all, just because of this simple purpose, he had to practice desperately and even give his life, and in the end he was not recognized, and he was kept in the dark from beginning to end. However, Xing Yu also understands the master, although he said it briefly, but there is the word "mission" in the master's words, which obviously has more hidden secrets, but it is inconvenient to say, it is also the master's own business, and he no longer has to worry about speculation. Moreover, even if they were used by the master in this way, if everyone hadn't met the master one by one at the beginning, I am afraid that the ending would not be much better than this.

After thinking about this, Xing Yu gradually calmed down. It is naturally good to be selected by the master, since the master has spent so much effort to find the heir, presumably the swordsmanship is very powerful, and he can become stronger and gain the power to avenge his relatives as soon as possible.

"Master, the disciple is willing to follow you to learn swordsmanship." Xingyu said in a deep voice. "Hmm." Although he was a little surprised by Xing Yu's quick response, Master nodded and said, "From now on, you will be my personal disciple, and your future cultivation will be as special as your two senior brothers." In that case, you come here first. With that, he beckoned Xing Yu to come to his side.

The master put his hand on Xing Yu's head, and the next moment, Xing Yu suddenly felt his body sink suddenly, as if something was pressing down on his whole body, and his whole person was in a state of depression, which was very uncomfortable.

"I've put a seal on you." Master said. "Forbidden?" Wiping the sweat with his hands, Xing Yu was a little puzzled. "I suppressed the spiritual power that was about to explode in your body, only in this way can you give full play to your potential and cultivate your sword technique to a higher realm." Master said, "Of course, you will feel a little uncomfortable for a long time to come, but you must hold back. After that, the master waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can come here today, come back tomorrow to formally practice swordsmanship, first go back to practice boxing with others, I know you have a lot of questions at this moment, put it aside for the time being, and you can come to the attic to ask me in the evening." ”

Xing Yu walked out of the back mountain, as for Cang Han and Li Feixuan, they should be practicing swordsmanship as usual, and the progress of the two of them has not changed in the slightest because of his joining. "It feels like a dream." Xing Yu looked at the clear blue sky and thought, his heart unconsciously became a little excited, and his body that was arranged and forbidden felt less heavy. He wasn't sure, but his instincts told him that what happened today would change his life forever!
