In front of the exit of Xuangu, after layers of tests, only dozens of people finally passed the trial. The people who came out of the exit were barely willpower to support their sobriety, and they basically lost their ability to act. Yunyan looked at the last dozen or so people in the list, and nodded with satisfaction, in previous years, there were not necessarily three people out of a hundred people, and now the situation is already very good.

Her gaze was drawn to a boy, his eyes were covered in wounds but flashing with a sharp gaze, everyone else had already been carried down by the people of the Daoxu Sect for healing, only he knelt on one knee, gasping for breath, refusing to give in.

Yunyan walked up to him and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The young man glanced at her vigilantly and said something inappropriate: "Who are you?" ”

The deacon scolded: "Bold! Don't be rude to the saints! ”

A trace of shock flashed in the young man's eyes, and he quickly didn't care about anything else, knelt down and kowtowed: "My name is Haotian, I ask the saint to accept me as an apprentice, I am willing to follow me to the death!" ”

Yunyan didn't answer, she asked, "Why did you go to the Dao Ruins to learn martial arts?" ”

Haotian gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his body was full of astonishing anger, and blood flowed from the wound but he didn't realize it: "Revenge!" ”

Yunyan turned around and didn't look at him again: "If Your Excellency uses the Daoxu Sect as a tool for revenge, you don't have to come here, hatred is a taboo for those who practice martial arts, this is my advice to you." ”

The young man didn't listen, he was eager to follow, but was stopped by the deacon, and very unceremoniously ordered someone to send Haotian out of the Daoxu Sect: "Little brother, our holy daughter has made it very clear, please please." ”

Yunyan returned to the Daoxu Sect from outside in the evening, still very concerned about the young man he saw in Xuangu during the day, his eyes were full of despair and killing, what kind of experience made him so bloodthirsty at a young age. The deacon came and reported: "Holy Maiden, the young man is still kneeling at the door. ”

Yunyan put on his cloak and walked to the platform. The Dao Platform is a place specially used by the Dao Ruins Sect to discuss swords and martial arts, and it is built extremely high, and the Dao Platform can overlook the entire Dao Ruins Sect's buildings, and there is a sense of loneliness of sublimation and ascending to the immortals.

There was snow in the sky, the north wind was like a knife cutting, and the young man was still kneeling in front of the Daoxu Sect, with a layer of snow on his shoulders and on the top of his head, and he had been kneeling for a long time, but he was like a statue standing still. Yunyan saw him as if he saw a familiar shadow, that shadow followed her day and night, tormenting her, that was herself.

Haotian is very similar to her, they are the same kind of people, with too much pain and too many responsibilities, even if some responsibilities seem to be imposed on them. It is precisely because she is very similar to him that when Haotian wanted to worship her as a teacher, she refused, she couldn't cross herself, how could she cross others.

She turned her head sideways and instructed her subordinates: "Give me a careful investigation of Haotian, I want all the news about him." ”

In the study, the room was lit with a faint warm incense, and Yunyan looked at the secret letter about Haotian's background under the lamplight, and the more he saw it, the more shocking he became, and he suddenly understood Haotian's paranoid actions, and had a trace of sympathy and compassion for him in his heart.

Haotian was originally a disciple of a bureaucratic family in the Qiang State, because his father's party had helped Mumo win the throne, so he had a lot of secrets of the Mumo faction in his hands, and he thought that he could be reused, but after Mumo came to power, he casually fabricated a corruption charge and raided his house. Mu Mo's order was very sudden, so that Haotian's family had no precautions at all, and seventy-two lives in the whole house died tragically overnight, and Haotian's sister was still a baby who was thrown to death directly in front of him.

Yun Yan threw the secret letter in his hand into the furnace, and the contents of it instantly burned to ashes under the swallowing of the tongue of fire. As for how Haotian survived, Yunyan felt that it didn't matter anymore, it was easier to live like this than to die, and sometimes living was even more torture for those who stayed.

"Holy Maiden, that kid at the door has fainted, what should I do?"

The deacon is responsible for the recruitment of new people in the Daoxu Sect, in previous years, he has seen a lot of people in the rivers and lakes who came to the name of the Daoxu Sect, and he has seen a lot of people who return without giving up after losing the election, and he has also seen people who kneel at the gate of the mountain to study, but he has never seen such a kneeling for seven days and seven nights without eating, drinking or calling.

Yunyan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Take him into the ruins and heal him, after all, it is also a human life." She really underestimated this Haotian's determination.

The doctor said: "The old man has never seen a person who can survive without eating or drinking for seven days, it is really amazing." The boy was scarred, both new and old, and appeared to have been subjected to inhuman abuse for a period of time. Because of the wind and snow and the cold to his bones, he now has a high fever, but fortunately, his foundation is strong, just drink some medicine. ”

Yunyan asked the doctor to go down to prescribe medicine, and she crossed her arms and quietly looked at the sleeping Haotian. Even in his coma, Haotian still clenched his fists to maintain a vigilant posture, his brows furrowed as if he was fighting something in a dream.

Yun Yan put a sect contract letter from the Daoxu Sect next to his pillow and said lightly, "As you wish." ”

Yun Daoxu snorted heavily, and said, "Don't you want to push that kid to me, this kind of person is cold-faced and cold-hearted, I don't want to make trouble for myself." Yunyan said with a smile, "Uncle, don't be nervous, the sword test conference will come soon, and you will know the result by then." ”

Yun Daoxu said: "If this kid comes out on top, I don't have anything to say, but I don't think so." ”

The Daoxu Sect will hold a sword trial conference once a year, in the sword trial conference, all disciples can participate, and those who win the first place can become the closed disciples of the Cloud Dao Xu, and have a great chance to become the future leader of the Daoxu Sect, so the competition is very fierce. However, even if he won the competition, he still couldn't learn martial arts from him if he didn't enter the eyes of Cloud Dao Ruin.

Haotian knew that Yunyan had given him the opportunity to enter the Daoxu Sect to study, so he was even more diligent, practicing his sword every day until the third watch. Soon he became the leader of the new disciples of the Daoxu Sect, which also made some disciples extremely red-eyed, and openly and secretly stumbled on him. Haotian dismisses these and never pays attention to them, his purpose is very simple, to learn martial arts and take revenge.

"Haotian, the master is looking for you and has something to ask you." The person who came had a gloating tone, and the malicious smile on his face was very obvious. Haotian put down the sword in his hand, a little puzzled.

Yun Daoxu was furious with half of the burnt ancient painting in his hand: "Did you do it!" Haotian said: "Hui Shizun, this painting was not made by me. Yun Daoxu threw the painting in his face: "They all said you did it!" How do you explain it! ”

Haotian said lightly: "The master is fair, his heart is like a mirror, I believe that the words of three or five villains will not blind you." Yun Daoxu stood up and said, "Self-righteous! He looked at Haotian who was kneeling on the ground and said: "The three of them become tigers, and people are terrible." I ask you, what do you mean?! Haotian clenched his fists and said, "If you don't listen, it's okay." Sometimes people's words can turn into swords, then I will meet gods and kill gods, and kill Buddhas when I meet Buddhas. "He was sometimes very annoyed by those people, and even had the urge to punish these people, but the Daoxu Sect has the rules of the Daoxu Sect, he can't make any mistakes before learning martial arts, and he doesn't allow himself to make any mistakes.

Yun Daoxu shook his head, a slight prickly head could cause a fierce thought in his heart, in the end, he was still too young. He said, "Give me the plum blossom array to be punished!" You won't be allowed to come out without my permission! Haotian was unhappy in his heart, suppressed the resentment in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" Disciple commanded! ”

When Yunyan learned about this, he smiled slightly, his uncle couldn't help but test this young man so quickly, obviously he was more anxious than anyone else.

On the plum blossom array, because of the rain and snow, the stake was extremely slippery, and Haotian kept falling from it, which made him very irritable, he kicked the stake a few times, and let out an angry roar: "Why do you do this to me!" ”

Yunyan held an umbrella and a food box in his hand, and said, "There are not so many whys in this world." Haotian was a little stunned when he saw Yunyan, and followed Yunyan to the eaves. Yunyan handed him the rice and said with a smile, "Eat." ”

Haotian didn't want to take it, but he smelled the aroma of the food, but his stomach screamed honestly a few times, and he took the rice bowl with a red face and began to gobble it up. He choked on eating and began to cough desperately and choke on tears, he hadn't eaten hot food for a long time. In order not to develop the habit of greedy for pleasure, he bathed and ate only cold food, in order to remind himself that he should never forget shame and hatred, and that others could live in the sun, but he would never allow himself to do so.

His tears dripped into his rice bowl, still with his head down and desperately stuffing it into his mouth. Yunyan looked up at the blue sky, sighed, and the white smoke she exhaled flew into the sky, she said, "We are the same kind of people, I don't mean to pity you." ”

Haotian put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped his mouth, he saw Yunyan for the first time with a very deep expression, he asked: "Why doesn't the Buddha bless the good people, why can the bad people be at ease?" Yunyan said lightly: "Because the Buddha is very busy, he can't hear everyone's prayers, and we can only rely on ourselves." ”

She turned her head sideways to look at the young man and asked, "Do you believe in Buddhism?" Haotian shook his head: "My mother's letter." He lowered his head and looked gloomy: "But my mother is dead." My family is dead. I sometimes hate why I was left alone. ”

Yunyan patted him: "I never believe that God has its own arrangements, I only believe in myself, we can only cross by ourselves." So saying, she got up and left, as if she had never been there. Haotian looked at her back, clenched his fists, and his eyes became more determined.

Haotian was released in a few days, and those exercises in the plum blossom array made his footwork agile and his body more agile and light. Seeing Haotian's calm expression and more relaxed behavior, Yun Daoxu nodded with satisfaction and wanted to leave with his hands behind his back. Haotian bowed: "The disciple respectfully follows the teachings of the master. Yun Daoxu turned his head sideways and said, "Don't be complacent, boy! ”
