Xuanyu Pavilion, Juntian Peak, the majestic "Yinfeng" main building stands under the moonlight, magnificent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAt this moment, the main building is being plated with a layer of orange by the roaring firelight.
After a loud sound that shook the sky, next to the main building of "Yinfeng", this fire was rushed, followed by billowing smoke, and the pure main peak in the night instantly boiled, and under the reflection of the moonlight, Ran Hanchuan could vaguely see many figures passing through the air and rushing to the place where the fire started.
Something happened! The seven teenagers echoed these three words in their hearts at the same time, obviously they had reached the last step, and the end of success was just around the corner, and none of the teenagers' faces were good-looking.
Ran Hanchuan became more and more worried in his heart, because this was his father's master, and Grandpa Hua was also here, he had already decided in his heart that this was his posthumous home, and he must be more anxious than others. Moreover, he couldn't see Hua Chengfeng's people at the moment, and he became more and more worried in his heart.
The seven teenagers were all worried, not knowing what to do, Hua Chengfeng's figure happened to fall from the sky.
Hua Chengfeng's brows were tightly locked, and there were two disciples behind him. He landed in front of the seven teenagers, waved his sleeves and said, "You quickly take these seven teenagers to the guest room to rest, be sure to protect them!" ā
"Yes!" The two disciples replied with their fists clenched, and when they stepped forward, they wanted to lead Ran Hanchuan and the seven of them to other places.
"Grandpa Hua! What happened? Ran Hanchuan was anxious, and when he saw Hua Chengfeng at this moment, he couldn't help but blurt out a question.
The two disciples glanced at Ran Hanchuan, and the other six teenagers also looked at Ran Hanchuan with strange expressions. Hua Chengfeng frowned slightly, and said, "Child, I am worried, I have a good rest, and this trial is postponed." ā
As soon as Ran Hanchuan said a word, he felt that something was wrong, and he was a little uncomfortable looking at other people's eyes at the moment, but he quickly adjusted, clasped his fists and said, "The kid knows, so he won't delay Grandpa Hua to deal with affairs." ā
Hua Chengfeng nodded, and the two Xuanyu Pavilion disciples stretched out their hands to lead the way, and took Ran Hanchuan and the seven people away, Ran Hanchuan finally glanced back at Hua Chengfeng, and gradually disappeared into the night. Watching the seven children walk away, Hua Chengfeng's brows tightened.
On the first floor of the five pavilions of Xuanyu Pavilion, the main building "Yinfeng" and the sub-pavilions on the other five mountain peaks constitute this great faction that has stood for thousands of years. Each pavilion has its own scripture collection pavilion, except for the Xuanyu Pavilion itself, which has a collection of martial arts essence as the foundation of the foundation, the six pavilions have their own unique magic tricks.
As the main building of Xuanyu Pavilion, Yinfeng Tower naturally sits next to it a treasure trove of martial arts that is far larger than the other five pavilions. The majestic tower is more than ten feet high, and it is natural, but there is no spire at the very top, leaving a small square platform surrounded by delicate carved railings. At the entrance at the bottom of the tower stands a huge arch one zhang high, simple and heavy, on which a vermilion plaque is engraved with the gilded character "sharpening the sword" of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing.
The sword blade is sharpened proudly, and the sword is cast for ten years and a hundred years fine. The sword follows the direction of the wind, forging the heart for thousands of years! The predecessors of Xuanyu Pavilion once said: People are like swords, sword holders, the real sword is not in the hand, but in the heart and soul. Xuanyu disciples must use themselves as sword embryos, constantly sharpen their bodies, and temper their edges, so that the sword they hold can show their sword soul and sword spirit! To Yang Xuanyu sword might!
In this sword tower, there are two thousand countless predecessors left the essence of martial arts, the magic trick immortal method, the ten-zhang tower, the nine-story pavilion, each layer of the tower has eight arches, from the tower extends out of eight platforms, each platform is like the size of a pavilion, as a place for disciples to learn the sword on weekdays. The highest platform has a similar effect.
At this moment, on the side of this tall tower, thick smoke billowed out, and the whole tower was surrounded by firelight, and at the thick smoke, from the middle and lower floors of the tower, to the upper end, a huge gap of five or six zhang size lay across it, and the edge of the gap was scorched black, and it was really appalling to look at it from a distance.
Under the gap in the tower, Hua Chengfeng looked up at this scene with an ugly face, and beside him, an old man of his age walked quickly. Hua Chengfeng turned his head when he heard the sound, looked at the old man who came over, and asked in a deep voice, "Old Miao, have you figured it out?" ā
The old man surnamed Miao nodded, shook his head again, his face showed regret, and said, "Lao Hua, you better take a look first!" ā
Hua Chengfeng nodded, and under the leadership of the old man surnamed Miao, he walked towards the arch of the other tower. When they arrived, there were a few disciples of Xuanyu Pavilion holding torches to guard the place. The old man surnamed Miao waved his hand, and several disciples moved out of the way, revealing the things behind them.
A figure lay on the ground, bloodstained from the nearby ground in the light of the fire. Hua Chengfeng frowned, bent down, and the disciple on the side handed over a torch, and by the light of the fire, Hua Chengfeng saw the person's face clearly, and his expression suddenly changed wildly.
If Ran Hanchuan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this figure. He's, Mu Ran!
Ran Hanchuan was now following the two Xuanyu disciples to a secluded place next to the Yinfeng Tower, on the way, two or three of the other teenagers had been looking at him with a little unkind eyes, Ran Hanchuan found that these were all in the test of the Yuan Spirit Stone, and a few of them passed the test after him. And Mi Li also came to him and kept asking: "I said, you kid is not honest, you still know the old-timers of Xuanyu Pavilion!" Even if you know it, you won't tell me! ā
Ran Hanchuan directly chose to ignore Mi Li's endless talk, as for the strange eyes of the rest of the teenagers, he actually didn't care, and still walked calmly.
The crowd now stopped in this secluded place, where a building could be seen in the night. After walking dozens of steps, everyone came to a house, the door was open, although the vision was not clear, but it could still be judged that this only one house also had an extraordinary momentum. One of the two Xuanyu disciples stepped forward and walked into the house, Ran Hanchuan opened outside the door, he seemed to be tinkering with something, suddenly, the lights in the house rose up, and there was a corridor connected to each side of the house, at this moment, under the roof of each corridor, there was a flickering oil lamp burning in the distance, and soon, a unique building entered everyone's eyes.
In front of everyone's eyes, there is a five-story pavilion, each floor is a room about three feet long and wide, and on both sides of each room there is a walkway extending backwards. The cloister on the ground floor is connected to two other pavilions of the same size, which are also connected by a cloister. In the corridor, it is a small and beautiful courtyard, with green bamboo rockeries, stone tables and stone benches, although it is simple and small, it can bring a sense of dust.
Each of the corridors on the ground floor is connected by stairs to the adjacent second floor walkway, and the four floors above are also connected by the same reason, and the three pavilions are connected by these corridors and corridors to form such a special building, which makes the seven young men who saw it for the first time all amazed.
The two Xuanyu Pavilion disciples made a gesture of "please" and said, "Seven little donors, which room you want, you can choose by yourself, you don't have to be restrained." ā
After hearing this, the seven teenagers all had excitement in their eyes, and they all had an urge to try, presumably, it was interesting to live in such a place.
The two disciples, although they said so, the seven teenagers were still a little uncomfortable, but after Sun Yuan took the lead in entering the main entrance of the pavilion, Mi Li didn't say a word, and dragged Ran Hanchuan into it with a "black" face, and the teenagers behind followed suit.
As soon as they entered this special courtyard, the seven teenagers, still young and young-minded, soon became lively, running up and down these strange staircases, choosing the room they wanted to live in. Mi Li picked a three-story house by himself, and after choosing it, he got into it, but he didn't see it, Ran Hanchuan estimated that he went to clean his black face, and he himself went to the first floor, and he felt that he liked the quiet environment in this courtyard, so he settled in the room behind the cloister on the left hand side of the main hall.
Coincidentally, after Ran Hanchuan stayed, he asked the two Xuanyu Pavilion disciples and found out that Xiao Tian, who was recuperating, also lived here, in another room in the courtyard on this floor except for the main hall. After Ran Hanchuan learned about it, he immediately went to visit Xiaotian, at this time Xiaotian had already woken up, and was sitting quietly in the courtyard, when he saw Ran Hanchuan coming, he greeted with a smile: "Brother Xiaochuan!" Her appearance doesn't look so bad, and Ran Hanchuan is a lot more relieved.
"Are you healed?" After the two were silent for a while, Ran Hanchuan spoke. When he asked, Ran Hanchuan felt embarrassed, but he watched Hua Chengfeng make Xiaotian's wounds heal, why did he ask this.
Xiao Tian nodded and said, "Well, the people here are so powerful, they are really like immortals, and I feel better now than before I was injured." ā
Ran Hanchuan also nodded: "It's okay!" ā
"Uh-huh"
"What are you doing sitting here?"
"I think it's quiet, I like it."
"Well, so am I."
"There are so many stars here!"
"Well, I love to look at the stars too! I grew up in the mountains, and every night when I was fine, I would look at the stars in a daze..."
"Oh..."
The two of you say a word to me, and the night is getting darker.
The noise and noise outside the house also calmed down, except for the intermittent sound of footsteps walking back and forth, nothing special happened again, and the teenagers all slept peacefully.
Ran Hanchuan returned to the room, staring blankly at the flickering fire on the only candle on the table, and suddenly felt empty in his heart, with a feeling of idleness. After being in a daze for a while, he patted his head, feeling that he really didn't know what to do, and thought that it would be better to sleep.
When he came back to his senses, he just walked to the bed, and suddenly felt a strangeness, Ran Hanchuan's alertness in the mountains and forests since he was a child made him instantly alert, and at this time, he smelled an extremely faint smell of blood wafting from the house. Ran Hanchuan suddenly became nervous, thinking of the sudden change on the main peak of Xuanyu Pavilion, and said in his heart, could it be that the gangster hid in this room so coincidentally?
Ran Hanchuan was on guard, lit all the lamps in the house, and looked around the room carefully, and suddenly, his gaze swept to a dark red. Ran Hanchuan cautiously walked to the closet, that dark red was a drop of blood dripping on the outside of the closet!
That villain is in the closet! Ran Hanchuan's face was instantly embarrassed, and he struggled in his heart, should he open the closet door to check, or go outside the house to call the disciples of Xuanyu Pavilion to come?
While thinking, Ran Hanchuan stared at the wardrobe and stepped back very slowly. Suddenly, the door of the closet popped open, and a black shadow rushed out in an instant, Ran Hanchuan was startled, and was about to shout for help, but the speed of the black shadow was too fast, far beyond the reach of people, the cry for help had not yet been issued, and the mouth had been blocked by a big hand.
"Woo" Ran Hanchuan grabbed the man's arm tightly with both hands, struggling, and behind him, a hoarse voice seemed to be very difficult before he spoke: "Don't make a sound!" ā
Hearing this voice, Ran Hanchuan was shocked, he turned his head vigorously and looked at the face of the figure, and when the person saw Ran Hanchuan's face, he was also stunned.
This person is, Broken Moon Cold!
"Brother Ogawa?" Broken Moon Han's surprised voice revealed a thick weakness, and he put down the hand that was holding Ran Hanchuan's mouth. Ran Hanchuan turned around, and his expression changed violently after seeing Broken Moon Han, at this time, Broken Moon Han was extremely embarrassed, with countless tears on his clothes, and many hanging strips of cloth with blood stains, which was shocking. In the other hand, he hugged the snow-white kitten that Ran Hanchuan had seen tightly in his arms, but now the kitten's hair was dull and his eyes were closed.
Ran Hanchuan asked worriedly, "Brother Duan, what's wrong with you?" ā
Broken Yuehan looked at Ran Hanchuan, and when he heard this, he suddenly laughed miserably, and then his eyes closed, and he fell down on his back. Ran Hanchuan hurriedly caught his fallen body, and called anxiously: "Break the big brother, break the big brother!" ā
In the dead of night, the mountain breeze is slightly cold. Several Xuanyu Pavilion disciples came to the guest room where the teenagers were staying and walked in. Two people went straight to the top of the building, two of them were guarding the door of the main hall, and three people walked into the corridor on the first floor and arrived in front of Ran Hanchuan's door.
"Bang bang bang" A soft knock sounded outside the door, Ran Hanchuan opened the door, and the three Xuanyu Pavilion disciples who were two heads taller than him bowed slightly to him and hugged their fists.
"Little brother, I wonder if you have found anything unusual here, or any suspicious people?" One of the three disciples asked.
"No, three big brothers." Ran Hanchuan shook his head.
"Huh? What does it smell like? The other disciple frowned and asked, there was a burning smell in the air, and he couldn't help asking.
Ran Hanchuan laughed twice and said, "Just now I felt that it was so cold on the mountain, so I lit a brazier to drive away the cold, hehe, let the three eldest brothers laugh!" ā
The three disciples smiled slightly, when they first entered the middle school, they also had discomfort with the environment on the mountain, and now it is autumn, and it is night, and the night at the top of this peak is really a little cold, presumably it is indeed difficult for these teenagers to adapt, but they don't care, just comforted: "Little brother, it's nothing, it's normal to have a cold spot on this mountain, and when you have a chance to join our faction in the future, after some cultivation, presumably this cold is not enough to worry about." ā
"Hmmm! Thank you three big brothers for your concern! Ran Hanchuan nodded and said.
"Well, that won't disturb your rest, but little brother needs to be careful, you also saw the change just now, now there are villains in the mountains, if you find anything, don't hide it!" Several disciples admonished.
Ran Hanchuan nodded and joked: "The three big brothers are joking, if you really meet any bad people, with my small body, I must lose a small life, how can I talk to the three big brothers!" ā
"Hahaha" The three disciples said with a smile: "Little brother is joking, you can rest assured, after we patrol here, if we don't find it, we will guard it around here, and we will definitely protect you little brothers!" ā
"Mmmm, the kid has thanked the three big brothers, the three big brothers have worked hard!"
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, we cultivators, we have long been used to sleeping in the open, and not sleeping all night is not in the way at all. Alright, let's go out and leave you alone! ā
"Okay, goodbye three big brothers!" Ran Hanchuan waved his hand, and after seeing the figures of the three disappearing into the corridor, Fang slowly closed the door and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ran Hanchuan walked to the bed and lifted the quilt, revealing Broken Moon Han's body. At this time, Ran Hanchuan had already helped Duan Yuehan treat the many wounds on his body, cleaned up the stains, and changed into clean clothes.
The night faded and the sky turned white. Ran Hanchuan was resting at the table, and suddenly heard movement behind him, turned around and looked, and saw that Broken Moon Han had already sat up.
Broken Moon Han was silent, his face was very bitter and ugly, and even Ran Hanchuan felt a deep grief when he looked at it.
Ran Hanchuan finally couldn't help it, and couldn't help asking, "Big Brother Break!" What the hell is wrong with you? "It's really hard for Ran Hanchuan to believe that the handsome and extraordinary Broken Moon Han he saw a few days ago would be what it looks like now.
Broken Moon Han just shook his head, still silent, and after a long period of suppression, two tear stains hung on his cheeks.
"Big brother! What's wrong with you, why are you still crying? What the hell is going on! Also, what about the seniors? Where did Senior Mu go? Ran Hanchuan was worried about Broken Moon Han before, and didn't think much about it, but at this time, he suddenly found that he didn't see Mu Ran's figure, and immediately asked worriedly.
Hearing the word "Mu Ran", Broken Moon Han trembled, tears suddenly surged out of his eyes, one hand covered his face, and the other hand clenched his fist and smashed it against the bed board.
"Broken... Eldest brother..? Ran Hanchuan looked at Broken Moon Han's expression and felt a sense of unease.
Broken Yuehan's eyes were flushed with blood, he turned his head and looked at Ran Hanchuan, his hoarse voice made people feel a pain in their throats when they heard it, only to hear him say: "My master, master he... He's dead! ā
Ran Hanchuan was shocked when he heard this, his eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, that Mu Ran was actually dead?
"I hate! I hate! That old guy from Xuanyu Pavilion! It must be Xuanyu Pavilion, it must be the people of Xuanyu Pavilion who harmed my master! Broken Yuehan's emotions suddenly became uncontrollable, and Ran Hanchuan hurriedly stepped forward and gently covered his mouth to avoid alarming the disciples guarding outside.
Fortunately, Broken Moon Han still had a trace of sanity and stopped roaring, but the tears on his face were deeper.
