Outside the window, the snow fell silently.

Inside the window, Bai Qian was adding neatly cut charcoal to the stove with tongs.

The flames licked the charcoal, gradually dyeing it red, the flames became hotter, and the room became warmer.

"The dean seems to value that young man?" Someone asked, standing aside.

"They symbolize the future of this river, and we are just sick trees that are dying and old." Bai Qian said calmly while adding charcoal.

Thousands of sails passed by the side of the sinking boat, and ten thousand trees were spring in front of the sick tree.

Most people think that they will be the thousand sails of the past and the ten thousand trees of spring.

But no matter what kind of ship and wood it is, it will eventually turn into a sick tree and a sunken boat.

Saying this, Bai Qian looked up at the person who spoke just now: "Mr. Zhou, is there any news about that child?" ”

The man known as Mr. Zhou was dressed in a black coat and was tall with a serious expression.

He heard Bai Qian ask that person, and was a little surprised for a while: "Why does the dean always care so much about that traitor?" ”

Bai Qian shook his head: "I'm just a little uneasy. ”

"That day, he broke his heroic qi, and it can be said that the path of martial arts in this life has been broken." Mr. Zhou said calmly: "Even if you want to do something more, I'm afraid it won't be possible." ”

Bai Qian coughed lightly: "I don't think so." ”

"He has a tough heart on weekdays, and if he can survive this, his future cultivation may be limitless."

Before Bai Qian's words fell, there was a sudden knock on the door.

A crisp and evenly spaced knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Mr. Zhou couldn't help but ask.

"When I heard the two teachers talk about me, I couldn't help but want to meet them for a while." Outside the door, a somewhat weak, elegant voice was heard.

Mr. Zhou showed an incredibly surprised look, while Bai Qian sighed: "Then since you're here, let's see you." ”

"Thank you, teacher." The other said this as he pushed the door and walked in.

The wind and snow outside the door walked in with his people, and Bai Qian couldn't help coughing again.

Liu Pingye was dressed in white, but his body was extremely withered, he looked at Bai Qian, who was sitting by the fire, and said softly: "The teacher has lost weight." ”

However, it seems that Liu Pingye has become thinner.

When we first met him in the forest, he was still a miserable scholar with a rich spirit, but now, with sunken cheeks and a vegetable-colored face, he looks like a poor family who is about to die of hunger.

Where is there still the feeling of the big man in the Egret Academy.

"What happened?" Bai Qian looked at Liu Pingye and couldn't help asking.

"Ruqing is dead." Liu Pingye said briefly.

At the beginning, he did not hesitate to betray the Egret Academy for the sake of that woman, and then in order to save her and win the relics, he even tried to participate in the killing of Kongwu.

But in the end, it all came to naught.

The woman eventually died.

He was left alone in this world.

"Death is great." Bai Qian sighed and said: "Since Miss Ruqing is dead, then we will not pursue everything in the past." ”

"I don't need the teacher to pursue and sympathize with my matter." Liu Pingye looked at Bai Qian and said.

"And that includes you, of course." Liu Pingye looked up at Mr. Zhou, who had been silent.

"Master Proctor."

"That's probably what you're looking for."

"A famous disciple who was originally promising was finally ruined for a woman, but in the end, he couldn't even save that woman's life, so he could only return here like a lost dog."

Liu Pingye's voice was low with a little pain.

But deep in the pain is an extreme calm.

"Should I kneel down now and ask for forgiveness from the two division commanders, after all, it's not too late for the prodigal son to turn back."

"I can still continue to study and learn in the Egret Academy, practice swordsmanship, Kuang Shiji, and righteousness."

"It's like nothing happened."

Bai Qian looked at the painful middle-aged man in front of him, listening to the heavy and cold words that came out of his mouth.

Finally, he let out a long sigh: "On weekdays, you still entered the demon path after all. ”

"Really?" Liu Pingye raised his head and asked softly.

"Then what is the Demon Dao? Teacher? ”

"Is it magic to do something that most people don't approve of?"

"Even if I haven't hurt anyone?"

"I'm just in love with someone I shouldn't like, is it a demon?"

"When a person stubbornly believes that he is not wrong, he has already entered the path of demons." Bai Qian looked at Liu Pingye and explained softly.

"It's hard to distinguish between right and wrong in this world, and no one can be sure that they are doing the right thing."

"But if someone insists that everything he does is not wrong, then even if there is room for redemption, he will still go towards the end without looking back."

"That's right." Liu Pingye smiled bitterly and nodded.

"So I went ahead and did what I thought was right."

Liu Ping came to the Egret Academy at night.

Bai Qian quietly looked at the student in front of him, sighed slightly, and finally stepped forward.

Liu Pingye subconsciously took a step back.

Bai Qian continued to move forward, he was wearing a light white shirt, his beard was white, and his face was full of wrinkles, after all, this old man who used to be the fourth in the world and is now the eighth in the world is really old.

But now in front of this student, his performance is so slightly excited.

In the end, Bai Qian's hand was placed on Liu Pingye's shoulder, and he grabbed the disciple in front of him a little hard: "You don't do anything now, there is still a chance to come back." ”

Liu Pingye closed his eyes and shook his head with some difficulty: "Teacher." ”

"There are some things, if you do the first step, there is a second step."

As he said this, he curled his right hand slightly, and then pushed his palm towards the teacher, who had already grabbed his shoulder.

Ecstasy.

It's about to die.

With such a close distance, there is no time to dodge.

In fact, Bai Qian didn't dodge at all.

Liu Pingye slapped Bai Qian's abdomen with one palm, the old man flew backwards in an instant, Mr. Zhou flew to catch Bai Qian, and glared at Liu Pingye, who suddenly made a move: "You evil animal, you can really do it when you deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors!" ”

This is a gloomy ecstasy palm, and the original emptiness was broken by Liu Pingye's palm.

Of course, if you simply talk about the realm of martial arts, Liu Pingye may be higher than Kongwu.

But if you talk about physical strength and physical defense, Sora can be said to be a man who stands at the top of this world.

And Bai Qian is just a withered old man.

Liu Pingye stood in place, looking at the white and shallow blood spitting in Mr. Zhou's arms, and his expression showed a trace of pain: "Why didn't you hide!" ”

Yes, with Bai Qian's strength, he has a chance to dodge.

Not to mention that Liu Pingye didn't hide his murderous aura and malice at all.

It's not even a sneak attack, at most it's just a sudden attack.

Bai Qian vomited blood in Mr. Zhou's arms, the blood stained his white beard red, he looked at the white-clothed student in front of him, and said softly: "So, you hate me, right?" ”

Liu Pingye nodded slowly with some difficulty.

"Actually, I hope the teacher can kill me here."

"Otherwise, I'll kill more people."

"Don't talk to him, he's already enchanted." Mr. Zhou said loudly, "We should immediately gather all the students in the academy and kill this demon immediately!" ”

"yes, I almost forgot, I'm already enchanted." Liu Pingye said this, and then put his arm back and held the hilt of the sword.

Pull it out calmly.

He drew a long, black sword.

The name of the sword is to kill demons.

"Get out of the way!" In Mr. Zhou's arms, Bai Qian struggled to stand up and pushed Mr. Zhou away.

Mr. Zhou looked at the old man who stood up again in disbelief: "Dean, you are so seriously injured......"

"It's just a small injury." Bai Qian said calmly.

"It's funny, is the teacher finally willing to compete with me?" Liu Pingye laughed out loud.

He looked up at the zenith.

This is the guest house of Egret Academy.

"I can't see the sky, teacher."

"You said yes?"

As he spoke, he gripped the exorcist and drew a line towards the sky.

Sword Qi.

In an instant, the entire roof was slashed open by his sword, and the snowy sky appeared in front of everyone, the wind swept and the snowflakes fell, and the stove that had burned the entire room with a warm floor turned into a fragile candle flame in this instant.

Burning in vain does not warm a trace of air.

"Good sword." Bai Qian held down his chest and coughed, while looking at Liu Pingye and said, "I didn't expect that even so, your swordsmanship would still be able to make such progress." ”

Even stronger than the original invisible sword.

"Teacher, you have more surprises." Liu Pingye said lightly: "I have always hoped that I can be ahead of the teacher in the way of the sword, but the more I practice the sword, the more I feel that the gap between me and you is bigger." ”

"There was even a time when I was in despair."

"Until, some time ago, I finally saw the real kendo."

Bai Qian looked at Liu Pingye and didn't speak, but just pulled out his sword from his waist.

Snow white and slender, the name of the sword is cold.

Mr. Zhou saw that the decisive battle between the two people had been completed, and he was anxious.

Although his own martial arts are also good, no matter how good he is, there is no way to compare with Bai Qian, and even Liu Pingye, who suddenly came to the White Egret Academy at this time, the martial arts revealed at this moment are far beyond his own strength realm.

It's not a battle he can meddle in.

He leapt abruptly and came to the sky above the ruined inn.

In fact, it was early in the morning, and many students were still asleep.

Who would have thought that after nightfall, the White Egret Academy would actually usher in such a big battle.

On the other side, Bai Qian had already drawn his sword.

It is still the moonlit night of the Spring River, and it is still the tide of the Spring River.

Even though Bai Qian was seriously injured at this time, holding the sword in his hand and swinging the sword, it was still the world's top swordsmanship.

I saw that the snow and light were connected into a line, heading towards Liu Pingye in front of him.

"Spring River Flower Moon Sword." Liu Pingye laughed: "How can I, Liu, be able to let the teacher meet the enemy with this sword." ”

As he spoke, he stabbed straight forward with his sword in his hand.

Gloomy Ecstasy Sword.

Piercing.

It was a black straight sword light, connected into a line, and after Liu Pingye took out the sword, the whole person still moved forward, stabbing straight out against the wave of light.

At this moment, the sea tide that was connected in a line was torn apart by Liu Pingye's sword, but immediately, there was a second sword in front of him.

The moon and the moon on the sea are born together.

The reason why Bai Qian's sword is used with one move, one style, one sword and one sword is because each sword corresponds to each other's artistic conception.

At this time, as soon as the sea sword was broken, the Yuesheng Sword had already come one after another, and the snow-white moonlight that was clustered together came straight towards Liu Pingye, and Liu Pingye's face was snow-white by the light of this sword.

But there was not a hint of fear on his face.

There was only vague excitement.

"It's a good move, and the moon on the sea is born together." He laughed loudly, and the demon-slaying sword in his hand was raised high, and the sword fell lightly.

"The Shadow Alone Wounds."

If there is a moon, there will be a shadow, otherwise how to make a shadow into three people.

At this time, in the face of this Ruyue sword, he can only break it with a shadow.

The pitch-black sword qi wrapped the demon sword in his hand, and in the face of this round of bright moon, Liu Ping slashed out of the moon at night.

The full moon-like sword light was suddenly split into two halves, and immediately, Liu Pingye had already taken another step.

However, Bai Qian's third sword had already arrived at the same time.

Ripple with the waves for thousands of miles.

What Liu Ping faced at night was the tens of millions of pieces of moonlight shining on the sea after he was born.

Moonlight is sword light.

At this time, the sword light was tens of thousands, and it shot straight for thousands of miles.

Bai Qian's expression was solemn, the cold light sword in his hand waved up and down, and thousands of sword lights swept through the water like floating light from the blade of the sword, rushing towards Liu Pingye.

This is the Spring River Flower Moon Sword, and between each sword is a perfect artistic conception and perfect swordsmanship.

It is recognized by everyone in the rivers and lakes as the first sword in the world.

Liu Pingye held the sword in his hand, and he was a little confused for a moment.

Yes, this is the swordsmanship that he has tried to catch up with all his life, but has never been able to reach.

So perfect, so smooth, so powerful swordsmanship.

"What a teacher." Liu Pingye exclaimed loudly: "But if I can break such a sword technique, I am afraid that I will finally be able to surpass you, teacher, today." ”

"This is my glory, isn't it the glory of the teacher?"

While shouting loudly like this, Liu Pingye pushed forward with his left hand while guarding himself.

It's ecstasy again.

Its name is drunk, life and dreams.

At this moment, not only is the swordsmanship superb, but Liu Pingye's appearance this time seems to have undergone a reborn change, not only the internal strength is far better than before, but even the subtlety of the moves is beyond everyone's imagination.

He stepped forward with his palm, and at that moment, the palm wind was pushed out, and the sword qi was exchanged, and the two shifted each other, and at the same time, the sword qi of the fish that slipped through the net was also blocked by Liu Pingye's horizontal sword.

Say it, it's slow, it's fast.

Actually, only for a moment.

Liu Pingye did not hesitate without any hesitation after blocking the waves for thousands of miles.

Still swinging his sword forward.

He came only to kill the teacher.

And Bai Qian looked at the disciple in front of him and sighed.

"The Fourth Sword, then."

"Where there is no moon in the spring river."

In the shattered sword light, Bai Qian finally stepped forward with his sword, no longer sword qi, but his own sword stabbing out.

Touching the blade of Liu Pingye's demon-slaying sword.

The light of the fire rose in the darkness of the night.
