There are living immortals in the mountains, and there are small caves in the mountains...... Mountains, since ancient times, seem to have placed the minds of countless Chinese people. Most of the cultivators who are born to enter the mountains, those who cultivate their feelings enter the mountains, the benevolent people enjoy the mountains, and even to avoid disasters, most of them flee into the mountains, and those who rebel and escape from the world enter the mountains, as if this mountain is the last thought of the world's homeland!

The outside of Jinyun Mountain does not look tall and steep, but after burrowing into the depths of the mountain range along the winding mountain road, a deep valley appears in front of you. A stone staircase extends straight in, and next to the stone staircase stands a simple stone stele: Hanzhang Academy!

The seowon is not very large, at most about 100 people, and there is a stream flowing in the valley that gathers into a small small lake, and it is said that the first generation of the seowon named this small lake Mirror Lake without any interest. There are many osmanthus trees planted next to the mirror lake, and almost the entire academy can be immersed in the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers for half a year.

A large open space on the west side has been flattened by generations of disciples with stones, and it is named the Wrong Sword Terrace! It was the place where the disciples who were full of spirit and devoted themselves to practicing martial arts, intending to learn something and then go out to make meritorious contributions to the sword, but it is a pity that now the world is too peaceful to fight, and there is only one kendo teacher left here every evening to teach the students some simple swordsmanship to strengthen the body.

The back mountain is smaller, and the two female masters quietly raise a dozen adopted girls here, and behind the mountain is a vegetable garden and a tea tree garden opened up by the flowing water to supplement the academy for daily use. And the core of the academy is naturally the three-story library building! Inside is a subset of the classics and wild history essays carefully collected by generations of mountain chiefs and disciples, and the classics contain hundreds of theories...... Around the library building was built a study hall and a bedroom dining hall.

There are fewer and fewer students in the academy now, and the students who have gone down the mountain from generation to generation seem to have inherited the academy's indifferent heart of fame and fortune, and just use what they have learned to merge into the general trend of the world, conform to the heart of heaven, and help the people.

Leaving my brother in a clean coarse cloth shirt and kneeling quietly behind a table in the school hall to listen to Mr. talk about the scriptures, behind him are the curious eyes of several students of the same age occasionally cast by them, leaving my brother's heart has always been a little uneasy, it has been ten days since he came to the academy, and he didn't secretly cry last night, is this about to forget his father? I was a little scared when I left my brother......

After school, a little guy with a round face and a pair of squinting eyes jumped next to Brother Li'er, and it was Gao Hua, a student who lived in the same house as Brother Li, and Gao Fat said excitedly: "Brother Li, Master, today praised you for being smart and learning fast!" It's really envious, right! Tonight, you can go with us to the wrong sword platform to officially practice martial arts, is your wooden sword ready? ”

Brother Li'er nodded, and with a little uneasiness, he picked up a simple bamboo sword on the couch beside him, and a piece of green bamboo only had a slight sword shape, which looked a little rough.

"Hahahaha......" A thin student next to him pointed to his brother's bamboo sword and laughed when he saw this: "What are you doing, kid?" Swordsman Xiao has always been strict, wouldn't you take such a thing to learn swords to find punishment? ”

Brother Li'er's face was red, and he was a little embarrassed to hide the bamboo sword under the table, and at this time, a student who seemed to be older came over and pinched the ear of the thin bamboo pole: "You guy, making fun of Brother Li'er again?" I don't know who just came to the academy and urinated on the bed for a month, or it was cured by the medicine prescribed by the mountain chief! ”

When the thin bamboo pole heard this, his face immediately looked like a pig's liver, and he told him again and again: "Senior Brother Du! Don't pull your ears, and don't talk about your ugly things anymore! ”

"Humph! Brother Xiaoli came late, and you are not allowed to bully him in the future, you know? The eldest senior brother Du Fan stretched out his hand and rubbed his brother's head, and said with a smile: "When I first come to the academy, I will miss my father, and I will be fine slowly!" Oh, this wooden sword is already a little small for me to use, just enough for you to use! Holding the ......", Senior Brother Du Fan gently stuffed a yellow pine sword in his hand into Brother Li'er's hand.

Li Ge'er was stunned for a moment, looked at the beautifully carved and rounded wooden sword in his hand, and his eyes were almost red...... Immediately stood up and bowed respectfully with the etiquette he had just learned: "Yang Li, thank you Senior Brother Du for your care!" ”

Du Fan was stunned for a moment, and returned the salute respectfully, and then laughed: "Okay, okay!" There is so much red tape between classmates, let's hurry up and have dinner! ”

"Go together, go together!" A room full of more than a dozen students of the same age ran out of the school, and slowly walked towards the canteen in a pretended manner. The older students in the two surrounding schools have also gone to the canteen one after another...... The smell of simple food has already wafted from afar.

The academy is not divided into three, six, nine and so on, although it is eaten separately, but Brother Li'er found that whether it is the mountain chief Wang Yunsheng or those professors and swordsmen, the meals placed on the case in front of them are exactly the same as those of his own students.

Yang Li once secretly asked the professor's master about the fact that he did not tie up the tuition fees...... The master smiled and told Yang Li...... Most of the students who come to the academy don't have any family property and money at all, except for some of the second and third generations of the academy who will give some property to the academy, and those like Yang Li who enter the academy casually only need to dedicate themselves to their studies!

Several students on duty handed out a meal without saying a word, and one of the people who put the meal today happened to be Gao Hua, a little fat man who was in the same house as his brother. Gao Hua quietly squeezed his eyes when he put a small dish for Brother Li'er, and sure enough, Brother Li found that there seemed to be more delicious golden needle vegetables in his dish than others! There seems to be a little more hare meat in the broth...... I couldn't help but smile.

Wang Yunsheng, the old mountain chief, looked at the silent canteen with a little majesty, and gently raised the bamboo chopsticks...... Everyone in the canteen saw that the elderly had already eaten, and they began to eat quietly.

Rice and rice, a plate of vegetables, a plate of sauce, and a bowl of broth. Simple and unpretentious, yet heartwarming. Brother Li'er is very satisfied......

After a break after dinner, more than a dozen children were pleasantly surprised to see a few smiling brothers distributing fruits and snacks at the door of the schoolhouse! The tall fat man squeezed forward and took the snacks and fruits, thanked him, and ran back to share half of the leaves of his brother: "Haha! Today is Tanabata! There is an osmanthus moon viewing meeting on the edge of the mirror lake, and we can also get some benefits hahaha! ”

Yang Li lowered his head and took a bite of the snack, which was a little sweet, it should be mixed with honey and a hint of tea fragrance, and asked in a low voice: "What is the osmanthus moon viewing party?" ”

The tall fat man stuffed a large piece of osmanthus cake into his mouth, and said hesitantly: "When the swordsmanship class in the evening is finished, I will take you to open your eyes!" ”

The moonlight spreads down, and the light on the wrong sword platform is cold, and almost all around are white boulder mountain walls, so even if there are no lights, you can see clearly on the wrong sword platform on the night of the full moon.

Swordsman Xiao sat on an old futon, holding a quaint long sword in his arms. Looking at the forty or fifty students in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh secretly...... Today's academies no longer pay attention to martial arts, and even this student is getting fewer and fewer.

The three groups of students were separated by year, each practicing different swordsmanship, and it was the first time for his brother to formally learn kendo, and he could only follow a dozen classmates to learn slowly. Xiao Jianshi pointed to the older senior brother, and then walked to the side of the elder brother...... Xiao Jianshi looked at Yang Li, who was in a slightly clumsy posture, and suddenly a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes!

Xiao Jianshi beckoned to Yang Li with a straight face, Yang Lileng hurriedly ran over and gave a deep salute: "Yang Li has seen a sword master!" ”

"Hmm!" Sword Master Xiao Hongyu nodded and asked in a deep voice, "You are the doll that Chen Zhenren entrusted to the academy?" ”

Brother Li'er nodded, but saw that Xiao Jianshi reached out and kneaded his bones and joints with thin but powerful fingers, and there were a few straight pinchs Brother Li'er almost screamed in pain!

Xiao Hongyu withdrew his hand and sighed secretly in his heart...... What a doll with excellent bones! It's just a pity to vote in this Taiping Academy, which almost abandons martial arts and cultivation. I saw that this young man just imitated the movements of the senior brothers, and he had already learned a bit of charm! It is really a rare good seedling, but the mountain chief Wang Yunsheng specially told himself that he could just go with the flow and not deliberately teach this child advanced martial arts...... It's ...... There seems to be a hidden secret!

Xiao Hongyu's old swordsman secretly sighed, but lowered his head and said to Yang Li: "Go back and I'll teach you a set of breathing techniques and kung fu and swordsmanship...... Just follow the practice with all the senior brothers! Don't slack off......"

Yang Li's eyes lit up: "Yang Li, thank you for the cultivation of the sword master!" ”

After practicing swordsmanship, the students either held long swords or wooden swords in their arms, bowed down to the swordsman on the stage and said goodbye. Xiao Hongyu's old swordsman nodded, turned around and left.

As soon as the sword master left, the young students began to return to the school hall one after another to wash and rest, Yang Li had just put away the pine sword that he cherished very much, and the tall fat man who had been sneakily squinting at the door ran over: "Brother Li!" Come with me...... Take you to see a good show! ”

Yang Li thought for a while: "Will you be punished if you are caught?" ”

The tall fat man pouted: "It's not a big deal, it's a big deal to be reprimanded, if you don't dare to go, you will definitely be laughed at by that thin bamboo pole tomorrow!" ”

Yang Li wanted to say something, but was taken out by the tall fat man by grabbing his wrist and pulling him......

On the side of the mirror lake and in the osmanthus forest, the fragrance is refreshing...... A few simple tables are lined with carefully prepared pastries and home-brewed drinks! Twenty or so elderly men and women are shy gathering here to admire the moon...... It's just that the blushing faces and a pair of eyebrows and eyes that are looking forward to flying, no matter how you look at it, there are few people who come to see the moon!

Yang Li and Gao Fatzi sat on the branches of a tall laurel tree, one holding a fruit in their hands and quietly nibbling on it. The tall fat man pulled Yang Li's sleeve and pointed to the corner on the right...... I saw that Senior Brother Du Fan, who is the most old-fashioned and serious on weekdays, actually came to see the excitement! It seems that he also stole a pot of wine with two daring juniors...... A few people are hiding behind a tree and taking turns drinking!

A pair of senior brothers and sisters seemed to be whispering, the night breeze caressed the full moon and hung high, Yang Li looked at the classmates next to him and quietly took a bite of the sweet and sour fruit...... I just feel as if I have found a trace of warmth at home! I couldn't help but raise my eyes to look at the bright and cold full moon, and thought to myself...... "Daddy and Auntie... It's going to be okay, it's going to be ...... Oh! Ah............h

The bright moon in the sky suddenly blurred, and Yang Li on the branch suddenly felt as if an invisible sharp arrow had shot down from the nine heavens and stabbed into his right eye! The severe pain almost made him faint, Yang Li rolled over and fell from the tree, but he only felt as if his back had been hit hard! Pain...... The sharp pain in his right eye was like tearing his soul apart!

"Help me! Ah...... "Yang Li's eyes went dark and he passed out!"

Yang Li's shocking change frightened the tall fat man around him, and woke up a pair of brothers and sisters who were in love with their children at the moon viewing party, and everyone rushed towards the direction where Yang Li landed!
