There is only one day in the mountains, and there are thousands of years in the world.

Spring goes to autumn, cold comes and summer, six years have passed in a hurry, and it is the late autumn of the 27th year of the Liang calendar. In the past six years, there have been many wars and turmoil, and Rao is like this, Qingshan Academy still maintains a rare tranquility in that troubled time.

"Hold the knife horizontally, then find the demarcation line in the middle of the fish maw and cut it quickly, remove the internal organs, and cut two knives at the back and back on the fish ridge, and then ......" Fat Kui gently pinched it with his hand and pulled out a complete fish bone, "How is it, have you learned?" Fat Kui said to Du Shaoyin with a fish bone.

"Master Fat Kui, I didn't fall at all just now, come, I'll try!" Du Shaoyin is no longer the fat boy he was at the beginning, although he is the same as Fat Kui, he is also obsessed with cooking, but unlike Fat Kui, Du Shaoyin has a white face and a well-proportioned body. His father originally wanted his son to enter the academy to learn skills from the six masters, but he didn't expect that the cooking skills that were not listed as skills were the most prominent, and the dishes he made were also full of color, flavor and shape, as if he was expected to become the second fat kui.

"Okay, try it for me" Seeing that there was a successor to his cooking skills, Fat Kui taught him very carefully.

Du Shaoyin is learning the latest fish knife method from Fat Kui in the festival dining house.

"Mo Yan, you should hurry up, you are behind like this, you can't speak, haha!" Yan Keran rode the Jueyun, galloping hard, and did not forget to turn around and laugh at Xiao Moyan.

"What arrogance! When it comes to speed, my sails are no worse than yours! Xiao Moyan continued to talk while catching up: "Besides, compared to endurance, Jueyun is not as good as Jingfan!" ”

"It's not the gap between the horses, it's the gap between the riders!" Yan Keran can still make a leisurely grimace on the back of a galloping horse, which shows that his riding skills are exquisite.

"Let you see and be so arrogant! Drive! ”

Xiao Moyan and Yan Keran, the "enemies", have now grown into handsome sons, both of them have good faces, long figures, and similar personalities, in the eyes of outsiders, they are radiant, lively, and righteous, but in each other's eyes, they look down on each other, and it is difficult to be peaceful if they don't raise the bar for a day. At this time, the pair were competing in riding skills at the racecourse.

In the northeast corner of Yao Pavilion, Chu Hanqian was playing the lyre, smiling like a flower; On the stage, Qi Wantong has already become a slim beauty, dancing and dancing, and she is not losing Chu Hanqian in a song.

"It's really beautiful, it's better than me" Chu Hanqian applauded and stood up with a smile, "It is said that blue is better than blue, and I think it's like you." ”

"Senior sister, what did you say, Wantong has only studied for six years, how can she compare to her sixteen years of skill?" Qi Wantong tidied up her slightly messy clothes and said modestly.

"Some things are about talent, and not all of them are learned. In my opinion, it won't be long before your dancing posture should be a rare opponent in our beams", Chu Hanqian stepped forward and held Qi Wantong's hand with both hands, looking at her eyes meaningfully, "Dancing can please people, but it is difficult to keep people, it is just a means after all."

Qi Wantong didn't understand why Chu Hanqian suddenly said this, and for a while, she didn't know how to answer, only a pair of bright eyes flashed.

"You'll understand in the future" Chu Hanqian smiled slyly, even Qi Wantong, who was already not inferior to her in appearance, couldn't help but be a little in a trance.

"Next, let's start practicing the piano," Chu Hanqian stroked the six-stringed piano.

"This is white seeds, this is woody fragrance, these are all very common herbs, but if they boil water together, the soup will be filled with a breathtaking aroma, if salt is added to this soup, it will become a poison, take it for a long time, there will be a little blood spots all over the body, until finally fade away and die" Yin Li said and handed the two herbs to Bai Luoyao.

Although Bai Luoyao's beauty is not as good as Qi Wantong's, her delicate facial features also seem to have been carefully carved, and she is better than Qi Wantong in terms of her atmospheric personality. She took the herbs handed by Yin Li and looked at them carefully, "I really didn't expect that such an ordinary herb would be such a powerful poison after a little concoction, I'm afraid my father doesn't know about these", she leaned closer and sniffed the smell of the herbs.

"That's right, I didn't know either, this was told to me by the seniors of the academy, and it was also discovered by the predecessors after several attempts, or how to say that the medical skills are broad and profound" Yin Li stood with Bai Luoyao, not like a master and apprentice at all, but more like a sister.

"Luo Yao has only heard of Shennong tasting herbs, but he never thought that the predecessors of the academy really did this, Luo Yao really admires it!"

"Luo Yao, with your background from being born into a medical family, you should be more beneficial than others in learning these things, if you succeed in learning, I can rest assured, after all, I didn't let the academy's medical skills be cut off in my hands", Yin Li said with a sigh of relief, packing up the various herbs in the house.

"Senior Sister Yin Li, how can you only have medical skills, you have to have benevolence, isn't this what you said? Physical diseases are easy to treat, but the disputes of the world are difficult to explain", Bai Luo looked at Yin Li's back from afar, very touched.

"That's right," Yin Li turned around, "so I'm waiting for you to heal."

"The enemy has 100,000 troops, and our side is only 30,000, which is absolutely weak in terms of troops, but our advantage is the terrain. We are very familiar with the terrain, the water is very much saved in the middle of summer, but the plains on both sides of the water have a drop of one zhang, our army can occupy the high side of the plain, dig a deep ditch to lead the water to the enemy, how about this strategy? Duan Lang looked at Helian Ping and asked. Six years later, Duan Lang is as his name suggests, clean and handsome.

"At first glance, the strategy is indeed feasible, but it is difficult to implement it in practice", Su Qian first expressed his opinion, "You see, there is indeed a gap between the two plains, but if you really want to dig a ditch, this is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project." As far as I know, the soil of the Metallurgical Plains is red soil, which is relatively hard, and it takes a lot of effort to dig a ditch, and if it is discovered by the enemy, I am afraid that it will fall short."

Helian Ping nodded and motioned for Su Qian to continue. Su Qian is thinner than Duan Lang, and his height is shorter, but the businessman's shrewd mind and sharp vision enable him to see and think of the unseen.

"Our army can feign defeat, and then retreat to the foot of Min Mountain. Minshan Mountain is majestic, the mountain is high and dense, it is very suitable for concealment, the most characteristic thing is that the Minshan Mountain Road is very narrow, and it can be barely allowed to pass by one person" Su Qian continued to analyze his thoughts.

"Oh, I see, you're trying to lure the enemy deep and catch them all!" Duan Lang suddenly brightened.

"That's right!" Su Qian smiled affirmatively.

"Very good, your ideas are all good, you can understand your weaknesses, you can find advantages that you can use, I am very satisfied!" Helian Ping made no secret of his praise for the two.

At this time, there was a sword and sword shadow on the school martial arts field. The sound of clinking and clanging cold weapons was endless, and the two vigorous figures were attacking freely, dodging, stabbing and returning the blade, if someone was watching the battle, they would definitely cheer, but Shen Ming, who was standing on the side, looked indifferent, staring at the two intently.

"Why, a man has so much strength?"

"Hmph, I saw that you were a woman, so I let you score three points"

"Who wants you to let it!" This sentence seemed to anger the woman, and after a dashing turn, a sword quickly stabbed into the man's lower plate.

While! With a thud, the man blocked the woman's sword with the knife in his hand.

"In that case, then I'll do my best!" The man shouted, took two steps back, jumped into the air, and slashed down in the air, the blade sharp. But the woman was not in a hurry, she dodged back, squatted down and drew her sword to resist, and she was able to block the knife from the range of the attack.

These two are Huo Qing and Ling Feiyan, and they practice martial arts hard. After all, Huo Qing was born in a peasant family, and after six years of training, he is now the strongest among all of them, and he knows that he is not talented enough, so he is also the hardest practicing among all people; Ling Scarlet, who has never liked red makeup, has tied her hair in a bun, tight-fitting short fights, dressed as a man, and her eyebrows are full of heroism.

"Huo Qing has great strength, extremely fast shots, and strong attack power, but he doesn't care about the upper and lower levels, and he only knows how to attack blindly and lack defense. Scarlet Yan's judgment is accurate, and he can do it in four or two, and use his strength to fight, but his moves are fancy, you must know that the enemy is not here to appreciate your martial arts", Shen Ming's voice was flat, but he pointed out the flaws of the two of them to the point.

Bursts of melodious flute sounds echoed above Lanyue Lake, and strangely enough, birds kept falling, stopping next to a woman in green, who seemed to be attracted by the sound of the flute. The woman in green didn't look at it, she closed her eyes to herself, completely immersed in the music, and danced with the sound of the flute from time to time, so beautiful scenery.

"Well, it's blowing well" Ye Kai held a piece of grass in the corner of his mouth and applauded casually, but the person was lying in the rain pavilion, lazily half-closed eyes.

The flute stopped suddenly, followed by an unceremonious question: "Just good?" And that's just the beginning, so let's see what's awesome! The woman in green inserted the flute into her waist, turned to the many birds, and began to chirp, and the birds seemed to understand her "words", and even responded with a chirp, which was very noisy for a while.

"It's noisy, I didn't teach you to chat with the birds!" Ye pretended to be displeased.

The woman in green also ignored it, and continued to learn the birdsong, Ye Kai was about to have a seizure, suddenly the woman in green raised her hand, and all the birds spread their wings and flew at the same time, first all gathered in the air in a messy mess, and then under the command of the woman in green's whistle, the "dance" began: the birds lined up in two neat columns in the air, and then began to rotate in a spiral shape, like a dragon absorbing water and hovering on the surface of Lanyue Lake, attracting many students from the academy to come, all of them were dumbfounded, Even Ye Kai was shocked by this scene.

"Sister Ke'er is so amazing!"

"yes, that's amazing!"

The crowd of onlookers was full of praise, the woman in green was full of joy, and with a long whistle, in an instant, all the birds immediately scattered and flew away.

Zhao Ke'er combed her two braids on her chest, and the six years did not take away her cuteness, but blended into the years and made her more lovely.

"How? More than that! Zhao Ke'er walked to the rain pavilion step by step behind his hands and looked at Ye Kai proudly.

Ye Kai had already sat up at this time, and replied lazily: "Amazing, the first beast master of the academy, if you go to the capital to set up a juggling stall, you can earn money" After speaking, he smiled maliciously.

"You!" Zhao Ke'er was so angry that her little face was flushed, and she was about to hit someone when she raised her hand, Ye Kai hit a carp, turned over and flashed to the corridor outside the pavilion, and said with a hippie smile, "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth!" ”

"This girl doesn't care about you, I'll go to Sister Qian and ...... with her Let's talk! Zhao Ke'er turned around and was about to leave. Ye Kai's death hole was Chu Hanqian, and he hurriedly changed the appearance of the prodigal son just now, jumped in front of Zhao Ke'er, and begged softly: "Good Ke'er, how can you say that we are also masters and apprentices, no matter how bad I am, I am also your senior brother, there are some things, don't bother Hanqian."

Zhao Ke'er stroked her braids, with a very embarrassed expression, "I don't know what I can say and what I can't say, why don't I ask Sister Qian first?" With that, he ran away.

"Okay, you Zhao Keer, you want to run!" Ye Kai raised his leg and rushed out.

The breeze on the windowsill blew by, lifting the corner of the rice paper on the desk, a person lifted his sleeve, dipped the pen in his hand lightly in the ink in the inkstone, thought for a while, and wrote on the paper:

Chu Tian looked at the lonely sail far away

A few heavy smoke and rain, a few heavy rivers

Can't get enough of it, drunk green mountains

Floating dreams, joys and sorrows

Acacia, don't leave slowly

When the man wrote this, he seemed to be infected by the artistic conception of the poem, and he stopped writing, not knowing how to continue.

"Even if you don't give up, what should come will always come" Chu Guan didn't know when he had already walked into the house, "Qingyuan, you are the best among all the people, do you want to come later that day?" ”

"Seven years in the mountains, the love has been deep, how can it be broken by saying that it can be broken", Mu Qingyuan is no longer the young man who was a little wooden, the six years of Qingshan Academy have precipitated a stronger bookish atmosphere, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a well-known talent among the thirteen people.

"No need to break, although it is a parting, but it is also a time to learn to go out of the mountain, and it is time to have your own deeds" Chu Guo said firmly.

Mu Qingyuan put down the pen in his hand, walked to the window, overlooked the panoramic view of the academy, and said nothing.

In the Sujian Courtyard, Xuan Shaoning was also standing by the window, but he was not enjoying the scenery, but studying the contents of the books in his hands. The slanting sun and sunset reflect his angular side face and slender and well-proportioned body.

"The strongest combat effectiveness of our Daliang is the Xuanjia Army under the command of King Yu, with 50,000 people, and each soldier can fight one against two. Among them, the cold knife is the vanguard, all of whom are cavalry, holding spears and iron shields; Tunlian is a chariot combination, one person drives, two people are assassinated on the left and right, and an archer in the middle; Rusty claw is a cavalryman, all proficient in horsemanship, armed with a crossbow, shooting from a distance; The golden armor is all infantry and the main force of the battle. The deep voice passed through the pavilion steadily and clearly entered Xuan Shaoning's ears.

"You know so much about the situation of the Xuanjia Army!" Xuan Shaoning was very surprised, and asked questions about the rows of bookshelves.

"The highest floor of the Sujian Courtyard is displayed with war books, among which the "Liang Guo Juan" records in detail the origin, internal composition, and combat strategy of the Xuanjia", Shi Gong Zhengyuan walked out of the shadow of the bookshelf, holding the "Liang Guo Juan" war book in his hand. Even the shadows could not completely hide Shi Gong Zhengyuan's handsome face, thin figure, and pale skin made him look weak.

"Senior Brother Chu has always said that you are the most talented and thoughtful among us, and he is really right", Xuan Shaoning left the window and walked to Shi Gong Zhengyuan to take the book in his hand.

"It's only been half a year since we left the academy," Shi Gong Zhengyuan's long eyelashes covered his eyes, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.

Xuan Shaoning closed the "Liang Guo Volume" that he originally wanted to open, and sighed and said: "Seven years have passed, how rare it is, once you devote yourself to the troubled times, what will your fate be?" ”

"Apply what you have learned, Master has always said that we should go out of the mountains to show our skills when we have learned a skill, do you remember the motto of the academy?" Shi Gong Zhengyuan's expression was rigorous, and his eyes looked at Xuan Shaoning eagerly.

Shangde in the heart, ambition in the chest,

Defend the people with a blade, protect the country with a body.

The two spoke in unison.

When the snowflakes gently fell on the palm of Xuan Shaoning's hand, a familiar cold feeling slowly penetrated and flowed through the blood throughout the body, announcing the arrival of the 28th year of Liang Li. It was another year of snow, and this time for the New Year, the students stayed at the academy because they knew that the time of parting was coming.

On the third day of the new year, the road from the Pavilion to the Shangdetang Hall was full of deep and shallow footprints, and once again I came to this place where I had come to my homework almost every day for the past seven years, and the former teenagers were extremely familiar. Different from the past, they are now adults, dressed brightly, look calm, steadfast, and have a myriad of manners, which has become a rare scenery of Castle Peak Academy.

Pushing open the door and entering the main hall, Master Shiraishi was still standing on the steps, his beard was white, but his face was ruddy and energetic, exactly the same as when he first met, and seven years had not allowed him to go through the vicissitudes of life. Heng San followed behind Master Shiraishi as always, and the six teachers were also on the left and right.

This scene is very similar to the situation when he first entered the academy, Xuan Shaoning suddenly felt a little trance for a while, is it not that the past seven years have been a dream at all, and I am still the little beggar at the beginning? However, when he looked at his clothes and then looked at the classmates around him, he was no longer what he was back then, yes, this is not a dream! Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Xuan Shaoning's mouth.

"I think that at the beginning, when the old man first saw you, you were still young people who didn't know the world, and now you are all old and weak, seven years, the old man is really old, but you have all grown up!" Master Shiraishi laughed and laughed at himself, unable to hide his joy in his words.

"How? Master is the same as seven years ago, time only makes us grow, but it does not make Master old! Su Qian's words were very pleasing to the ear.

"What about silent words, many words! If you want to say such sweet words, you still have to listen to Su Qian," Master Shiraishi teased as he stroked his chest-length beard.

"Master, are you praising me or Su Qian?" Xiao Moyan asked slyly, thinking about "talking too much" is not necessarily a bad thing, and "sweet words" is not necessarily a good thing, this question shows that Xiao Moyan is very careful.

"Haha, it's a silent word!" Master Shiraishi seemed to have acquiesced.

"The old man has said goodbye to six disciples here in this life, and among them, there are many civil officials who are extremely popular ministers, and there are also military generals who gallop on the battlefield, and they have glorified the lintel of Qingshan Academy! Except for a few people......" Master Shiraishi said here, pausing slightly.

"When you first entered the academy, the old man said that what you learn here is not only skills, but also virtues. Today, the old man still said this, after leaving the academy, I don't ask you to be a high-ranking official, I just ask you not to forget your original intention and live up to your family and country! Master Shiraishi's gentle words were all in the past, and his voice was high-pitched and his expression was serious at this moment.

Don't forget the original intention and live up to the family and country

How easy is it to say in just eight words, and how many people can really do it?

"Today, the old man wants you to say the proverbs of Qingshan Academy out loud again!" Shiraishi's voice was loud, and the aftermath was enough to wrap around the beam.

Shangde in the heart, ambition in the chest,

Defend the people with a blade, protect the country with a body.

The thirteen shouted in unison, each with moist eyes.

"Go ahead and do your own work in troubled times"!
