Time flies, and it has reached the seventh year of the Taiping rejuvenation of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the Qixi Festival, and the Hanzhang Academy of Jinyun Mountain.

The day's evening class was over, and dozens of students were silently bowing to the kendo teacher on the wrong sword platform under the cliff. Old Swordsman Xiao, who taught the students swordsmanship, stood with his sword in his arms, nodded lightly, and turned to leave.

As soon as Old Sword Master Xiao left, dozens of students immediately divided into several groups according to their age and walked out, and more than a dozen little children who were still dragging their snots looked curiously at the group of senior brothers who had just become adults in front of them, a little fat man scratched his scalp, and asked his partner next to him, "Why are these senior brothers so happy?" One by one, they are as happy as chrysanthemums! ”

The youngest slug next to him said, "Is it because there are fruits and fruit fillings for dinner today?" ”

Several of the eldest students passed by, heard the words and said with a smile: "Because today is the Qixi Festival!" When you grow up, you'll know why they're so happy, boys. ”

The little fat man and the slug nodded as if they didn't understand, and a slightly taller student who looked to be in his teens next to him interjected: "Qixi Festival, the female disciples in the back mountain will beg and worship Niangniang!" We have a tradition in Hanzhang Academy, and the male and female classmates who abide by etiquette on weekdays can show their hearts to the person they like when they reach the age of sixteen...... Alas......"

"Oh! I see. The slug suddenly realized, and the little fat man looked at the tall man suspiciously: "Senior brothers, you went to beg My Fair Lady, why are you only eleven years old but sighing?" ”

The tall man blushed: "That...... I originally promised Sister Xiaolu that I would bring fruit fillings and snacks to watch the moon with her after evening class. But I couldn't hold back my greed at dinner just now, and I didn't eat the snacks, so Xiaolu got angry and ignored me......"

"Hahahaha, hahahaha......" The older students and a group of little ones laughed back and forth, and the laughter was passed on for a long time in the quiet valley......

On the terrace halfway up the back mountain, more than a dozen girls dressed in plain clothes were respectfully completing a series of blessing rituals for the begging festival under the leadership of the old woman Elder Sun.

Hanzhang Academy never leaves women to start a family in the academy, but it is also not taboo for the disciples to be happy with each other! The academy has survived in troubled times for more than 100 years, and has survived the wind and rain. Xi articles, know etiquette, and know honor and disgrace. used to have a transcendent status among the heroes in the world! But with the peace of the world, the current imperial court seems to be ...... to the academy Growing more and more indifferent.

Elder Sun looked at the seven or eight female disciples who were a little older, and for the first time, his usually cold and solemn face showed a gentle smile: "Go!" The moon viewing party you have set up in the garden should be waiting for you, but remember to keep your heart and not be polite! And also...... Don't be greedy! ”

"Yes!"

Seven or eight young plain-clothed women bowed a little shyly, and their faces were slightly red, and only a few yellow-haired girls followed Elder Sun back to rest dejectedly. Naturally, there is the little dew who is sad because of the lack of fruit filling snacks for supper......

Twenty or so seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys were waiting outside a laurel forest with anxiety. In fact, there are only seven or eight of them, and the rest are all close friends who came to help cheer them up.

A handsome student with a slightly thin figure and bright eyes was standing under a laurel tree, quietly looking in the direction of the mountain behind, and a fat classmate with squinting eyes next to him was muttering to him: "Yang Li...... Why did you say Senior Brother Du suddenly disappeared? If Senior Sister Xiaoyun is gone, will he be sad? If Senior Sister Yuzheng doesn't come, will you cry when you go back? ”

Yang Li seemed to be calm, but in fact, his palms were already so nervous that he was sweating, but he shook his head when he heard the words: "A gentleman has something to do and something to ask for, but he needs to ask himself." If you don't know each other, fate is the reflection in the water! ”

"Got it...... Don't pretend, if you have the bottom in your heart, you will drag me over to be brave? I don't have a confidante to do! The squinting eyes of the tall fat man looked disgusted, and he was actually very jealous in his heart......

"Gao Hua, you are not enough friends!" Yang Li was out of shelf for a moment, turned around and pointed at the tall fat man and shouted in a low voice.

"Don't make noise! It's coming, it's coming! ”

A group of teenagers craned their necks and watched as seven or eight female disciples with shy faces slowly walked into the Guilin Forest, looking for the woman they liked one by one......

One, two, three...... Yang Li's heart slowly sank, Senior Sister Yuzheng ...... I didn't come!

Outside the mouth of Jinyun Valley, on the edge of the pine forest, a man dressed in black looked coldly at the valley in front of him, as well as the faintly exposed corner of the academy library, and pressed the Yanling knife under his rib with his left palm, silent.

The two figures hurriedly came behind the man, bowed and saluted, "The information sent back by the commander and the swallow has been confirmed!" The prey is in the academy, and the detectives from the Bianliang City Zhikhmer Academy and the Sanlu Pacification Division have also sent a message back, and those officials from Hanzhang Academy have all been imprisoned for investigation, and the news has not leaked in the slightest, please command the Lord to break it! ”

The man in black looked up and saw a gray cloud floating in and slowly covering a bright moon, and waved his hand coldly forward: "Fengguan Imperial Edict and Hanzhang Academy invite people to buy people's hearts and harbor rebellious remnants, and plot against them!" Kill them all! ”

"Subordinates obey!" A low, suppressed but murderous voice of obedience sounded behind the man in black!

On the east side of the academy library, in a quaint bamboo building, the oil lamp in front of Wang Yunsheng, the head of the academy, who was studying, suddenly burst out with a light spark! Wang Shanchang put down the book, his heart suddenly palpitated inexplicably, frowned, then stood up and walked to the window...... Suddenly, a strange fireball burst into the sky outside the mountain gate! Immediately afterwards, torches were lit on the left and right sides of the valley, Wang Yunsheng was shocked, stunned for a moment, turned around and ran over, grabbed the long sword hanging on the wall, changed his face several times, and slowly let go, gritted his teeth and turned around and walked outside the house.

Yang Li was drunk, and the tall fat man couldn't persuade him, until Yang Li's wandering body drank up the entire jar of fruit wine prepared by the female disciples in advance. The classmates did not blame him, every year on the Chinese Valentine's Day, there will be lovers who are in love, and there will also be sad people who have lost their souls.

Grabbing a pot of grape brew, Yang Li shook off his squinting eyes and ran into the most secluded bamboo forest in the valley, hiding on the top of a high boulder and crying while drinking...... "Damn tall fat man, crow's mouth!" You're right. Yang Li drank the wine while raising the wine jug and swallowing the sweet and bitter wine...... "Senior Sister Yuzheng, why did you miss the appointment?" I invited you to come, and you smiled and didn't refuse me! ”

Yang Li, who was dazed and had never been drunk, actually fell asleep until a few drops of cold rain slapped on his face and woke him up. It's raining...... Yang Li opened his eyes, and the sky was dark, and the moon and stars were gone. Yang Li recalled the Qixi Moon Appreciation Party and Senior Sister Yuzheng again...... I felt a sense of loss in my heart. Suddenly! With the sound of raindrops falling and slapping bamboo leaves, and the crisp sound of several blades intersecting, there seemed to be someone screaming and wailing!

Yang Li turned over and sat up, only to feel dizzy. And the direction of the academy is faintly red! Yang Li gritted his teeth and jumped off the boulder, but he almost fell to the ground, and after getting up, he hurriedly ran towards the academy desperately!

Fire! The library building is burning, the bamboo building of the mountain chief is burning, and even the back mountain where the female disciples live is burning! Blood, blood everywhere! The study hall, the bamboo house, the pool, and the Hidden Sword Pavilion are full of corpses! Yang Li rushed to the side of the bamboo wall and saw that there were two or three hundred fierce-looking black-clothed people holding crossbows and long knives and spears, mending the corpses on the ground! The mountain chief, the student, and the master are all dead! All of them are dead, and only a few of the oldest brothers are left to resist! But there were only a few broken spears and short knives in their hands, and more than a dozen men in black raised their crossbows and shot several of the most skilled swordsmen into hedgehogs!!

Child! More than a dozen children and trembling children hid in the bamboo building and cried, but the man in black blocked the door and lit the fire! Yang Li's eyes were split, and he roared and rushed out!!

"There's another one here! Kill him! The two men in black wandered around the periphery coldly watching the wind and grass, and as soon as Yang Li appeared to save the child, the two men in black immediately raised their knives and surrounded him!

Yang Li roared, "Who are you?" Why did you come to the academy to kill people and set fires? ”

A man in black said coldly: "Dead ghosts know that it is difficult to be reincarnated, if you want to blame it, blame your own life!" As he spoke, the other person shook a knife, and the man in black took the opportunity to turn over and slash at Yang Li's throat!

Yang Li was empty-handed. Because after nightfall, except for the old swordsman, everyone's long swords will be locked in the Tibetan Sword Pavilion by the academy. Otherwise, there are many students who have learned martial arts in Hanzhang Academy, and if they have weapons in hand, these black-clothed people would not be able to succeed so easily! The sword qi was on the body, Yang Li was startled and hurriedly dodged, but the other person calculated it and stabbed it fiercely! Yang Li, who had never really fought with anyone, was suddenly a little flustered, and his steps immediately became chaotic. With a "snort", the blade gently picked Yang Li's left arm, and blood beads splashed out!

On the wrong sword platform, the old swordsman of the academy unsheathed his sword, and a drop of blood still fell freely on the tip of the sword. The old swordsman stared at the man in black in front of him with tears in his eyes, his chest was rising and falling violently, and seven or eight men in black fell around the old man, dying of anger!

"Yan Zhitang! I, Jinyun Academy, have hidden my sword in the pavilion, no longer practice the art of war, and only want to study and assist the court! Why do you want to kill us completely? The old swordsman looked at the man in black in front of him and roared.

"Ascending Cloud Sword...... Xiao old-timers! ”

The black-clothed man who was surrounded walked out to the left and right, the tall and gloomy middle-aged commander, and bowed his hand slightly to the old swordsman: "I, Yan Zhitang, am the eyes and ears of the Great Song Dynasty officials, and supervise the world!" Don't ask about right or wrong, just argue about loyalty and treachery! Only the order of the inner guard is obeyed. Yan Zhitang got the first line of news, you Hanzhang Academy secretly hid the remnants of the pseudo-Han court and the jade seal plotted against you! Now, the jade seal has been discovered, and you Hanzhang Academy deserve it! But...... Senior Xiao and Master Yan Zhitang specially told me that only Senior Xiao can be pardoned and invited to Bianliang City as a distinguished guest in Hanzhang Academy! Old-timers, don't let down the heart of the hall master. ”

Dengyun Sword Xiao Hongyu raised his head and laughed miserably: "Hahaha, I want to add a crime...... What your hall master wants in his heart is probably the secret book of secret arts and military books kept by the swordsman of Hanzhang Academy, right? ”

The commander frowned: "Powerful crossbow!" Don't let him destroy what he's on......"

More than a dozen powerful crossbows in the army that had begun to have the power of the divine arm bow were immediately erected and steadily aimed at Xiao Hongyu, who was crumbling and laughing in despair, and they all commanded and understood that this Ascending Cloud Sword was already determined to die! It's useless to say more.

One of the henchmen beside the commander glanced at the commander, turned his head and stretched out his right hand to make a gesture! "Bang Bang ......" A few cow tendon bowstrings exploded, and four crossbow arrows shot at Xiao Hongyu's limbs like lightning!

Xiao Hongyu shook his sword and moved, the sword light continued to draw a strange arc and hit the crossbow arrow, with a few crisp sounds, the three crossbow arrows were directly knocked away, and the four crossbowmen in charge of the second stage of shooting had already aimed at Xiao Hongyu again at this time, but the commander raised his right hand slightly. The crossbowmen stopped shooting and quietly looked at Xiao Hongyu, who had been hit by an arrow in the abdomen.

A crossbow arrow pierced deep into Xiao Hongyu's abdomen, and the commander looked at the position...... The liver and sausage have been shattered, and Xiao Hongyu, the Dengyun Sword, has died in front of him! The commander gave a look, and the henchman beside him immediately flew forward with two masters and pounced on Xiao Hongyu.

Xiao Hongyu was already kneeling on the ground in pain at this time, his right arm holding a long sword was trembling violently, and the three people who pounced on him immediately relieved their hearts when they saw this...... This old man is old! Now that he's seriously injured again, it seems that the credit has been taken!

The two long knives stabbed at Xiao Hongyu's shoulders with cold light, and the cautious henchman in the middle held the long sword slightly back, suddenly! Xiao Hongyu, who was on the ground, raised his head suddenly, and his eyes were full of anger!

"Sure enough, I'm playing dead!" The cunning henchman immediately raised his sword and defended himself. I saw Xiao Hongyu with a horizontal sword in his chest! The palm of his left palm slashed at the long sword held horizontally in his right hand, and the long sword "clicked" with a wailing and crisp sound, instantly shattered, turned into a hundred and ten sharp fragments, and shot towards the people of Yan Zhitang in front of him like a white cold light and a strong rainstorm!

Yang Li was looking at his right hand blankly at this time, and in this right hand was holding a snatched Yanling knife, and the blood was flowing along the blade to the gauntlet and then dripping on his fingers, Yang Li had killed. There were already more than a dozen Yan Zhitang killers around him, but fortunately, those crossbowmen had all gone to deal with the adult masters of the academy, otherwise, I am afraid that Yang Li would have been shot to death by the crossbow like the mountain chief and senior brother!

Yang Li lowered his knife and looked at the black-clothed people around him with red eyes: "Who are you?" ”

A small leader frowned, looked at the two dead subordinates on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that you kid still has such good skills!" Grandpa, let you die and understand, I'll wait for the front of the palace Si Da Nei Yan Zhitang to walk outside! Ordered to track down the rebellion, now the jade seal of the puppet Han court has been found out by us! Hanzhang Academy harbored the remnants of the dead country and the jade seal plotted against you, and you died unjustly, disarm! I might be able to plead with the commander on your behalf, and see ......."

Yang Li clutched the knife tightly, and his heart was in despair...... These people, regardless of whether they come up indiscriminately, have dealt a dead hand to the academy! The mountain chief has already killed with a crossbow, and even the children are not spared, how can they spare themselves?

Yang Li's face was pale and lifeless, and there seemed to be a hint of strangeness in his right eye. Seeing that Yang Li was silent, the little leader sneered in his heart, and the right hand behind his back made a gesture gently, and several of his subordinates immediately faintly pounced, intending to take the opportunity to kill Yang Li on the spot!

Yang Li raised his head and suddenly looked straight at this little leader of Yan Zhitang, the little leader was stunned, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Yang Li suddenly throw the Yan Ling knife at him! The little boss raised a single knife to block, but the Yanling knife in mid-air made a strange muffled sound like a tight string, and the Yanling knife actually turned in mid-air, drawing a circular arc and bringing a puddle of blood back to Yang Li's hand!

Everyone was so frightened that they took a step back and looked in horror at a killer on the ground whose head had been split open and he couldn't see it! The little boss was so frightened that he instantly retreated, and blurted out: "You are actually a master who can control things with internal force?" ”

"No, you're cheating!" The little leader carefully looked at Yang Li, who was panting not far away and was obviously starting to lose his strength, and roared in shame: "Find a crossbowman immediately, no matter what little tricks he has, shoot him!" ”

A person next to him immediately raised his knife and ran to the crossbowman's side, Yang Li saw a sense of despair in his heart, no matter how good his skills were, he couldn't dodge this kind of crossbow's shot!

The rest of the killers were also suspicious, and they didn't approach Yang Li's body at all, but each held a blade and forced him to the stone wall of a house, just waiting for the crossbowman to take his life as soon as the crossbowman arrived! Yang Li watched three crossbowmen rushing in the distance, and he was anxious to pull another person to take revenge, so he simply raised his knife and pounced on the enemy! The little leader was startled and shouted, "Beware of his weapon!" ”

Before the words fell, I saw the Yanling knife in Yang Li's hand shoot out again and go straight to the person in front of him, the person was horrified in his heart, and slammed the Yanling knife with the short axe in his hand, "Dangchang!" With a bang, the Yanling knife was slammed into the air by him! When the little leader saw that Yang Li's right hand was actually stiff as if it was being pulled by a silk thread, he immediately understood that this kid had an extremely thin silk thread in his hand, which was secretly wrapped around the hilt of the knife to be able to barely control the blade. The little leader snorted coldly, jumped up directly, swung his sword, and slashed towards the location of the silk thread!

Yang Li's eyes flashed, his right arm was suddenly retracted, and the little leader slashed the silk thread in the middle with a sword, and saw that the Yanling knife in mid-air actually folded horizontally and fell behind the little leader! "Slash constantly?" The little leader was shocked, but he only heard the sound of the wild goose knife flying in the air behind his head! "Oh no......"

Yang Li watched as the soft gold silk in his hand blocked the blade of the little leader's sword, and then the Yanling knife that bounced back was slashed at the person's back! There was a terrible howl, blood splattered, and the little leader fell to the ground, and a long wound on his back was still splattering blood! Yang Li saw a person next to him pounce on him, grabbed his knife, and hurriedly shook his hand to flick away the soft gold wire, the soft gold wire was full of toughness and directly retracted in front of Yang Li, Yang Li quickly wrapped the gold wire back on his wrist...... I thought in my heart: Let the golden silk given to me by this senior sister of the jade zheng accompany me to the Yellow Spring! I don't know if Senior Sister Yuzheng will accept herself when she arrives on Huangquan Road?

Yang Li, who had already rushed to the front of the three crossbowmen and was now empty-handed and only had a silk thread on his wrist, sighed and quietly watched the three crossbow arrows pointing straight at him...... He knew he couldn't escape!

Suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air and shouting in the distance! The three crossbowmen ignored it and aimed directly at Yang Li to pull the reed, but they saw a figure falling from the sky with blood stains all over his body! Each hand held a long sword full of gaps, and between the sword light, most of the more than a dozen black-clothed people died on the spot without even letting out a miserable howl. The three crossbowmen were killed in an instant, and even the crossbow was split into pieces!

"Sword Master Xiao! You're alive? Yang Li, who was already desperate in his heart, recognized this back as soon as he met him, and Xiao Hongyu, the sword master who was responsible for teaching swordsmanship and martial arts in the academy, actually came to save him! I saw Xiao Hongyu exhale, his eyes were red, and a sword slashed out in front of him. The sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and the thunderbolt was wrapped in thunder and struck at a group of pursuers! Several Yan Zhitang masters in front of him froze and tried their best to dodge, but the long sword snatched from Xiao Hongyu's old swordsman's right hand was instantly covered with cracks, and as soon as Xiao Hongyu let go, the long sword fell to the ground, and it was instantly shattered and destroyed like rotten wood!

Yang Li was stunned for a moment, then saw Xiao Hongyu turn around and grab his clothes, and quickly rushed towards the bamboo forest in the valley! The strength is as great as a bear and a tiger, Yang Li is still in the hair, although the martial arts of the old swordsman Xiao are superb, but when did it reach this point? Kill more than a dozen enemies with one sword, and the sword qi is as terrifying as a thunderbolt!

"Sword Master Xiao! Your Hurt !! Yang Li suddenly discovered that the old swordsman actually had a fine iron crossbow arrow deeply inserted in his abdomen, and at this time, even the blood from the wound was no longer flowing! Xiao Hongyu didn't say a word, waved his left-handed sword and directly killed the two killers who were ambushed outside Yan Zhitang, grabbing Yang Li and rushing into the bamboo forest desperately.
