The sun shone on Su Yuan's body, and a burst of warmth surged into his heart, Su Yuan retracted his consciousness like a tide, and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were as calm as water, but with a heavy spirit, like the dark waves under the calm water, and the earth-shattering power would erupt at any time.

The sun fills the window.

He looked in the direction where the sun was shining, and the rays of sunlight shone through the attic window, shining on his whole body, and warming his heart.

Su Yuan seemed to have not paid attention to this daily scene for a long time, burying his head in martial arts cultivation every day, making him ignore many things around him.

He came to the window, looked up at the sky, and looked north, and could only see the empty sky, at the very edge of the sky, which was somewhat gloomy and dim, and could not even be illuminated by the sun, but his mind had drifted farther than his gaze.

There is his hometown there, in this deep winter season, there should be heavy snow falling there, imagining the snowflakes blown by the cold wind, the sky and the earth are covered under the thick snow, Su Yuan felt a little sad in his heart.

He sighed, not knowing when he would be back there.

It has been nearly four years since he practiced martial arts alone in Qingyang Mountain from the northern Selangor state, from the middle of the Qingjing to the current teenager in the late stage of the Yu Realm, the speed at which the martial arts realm has climbed is not fast, but other than that, he seems to have gained nothing.

He still remembers his first wish to leave Selangor, but when he came to Qingyang Mountain, which is adjacent to the imperial capital, in the past four years of growth, he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from what he thought at that time, so far that he almost forgot his childhood wish.

Qingyang Yuan not only allowed him to grow rapidly, but it also became a kind of constraint for him.

He bowed his head in the sunlight and listened carefully to what was in his heart.

The sun is beginning to set.

When he lifted his eyes, and the clear and bright eyes shone again, he already knew what he wanted.

Su Yuan got up and came to the outside of the attic, he looked back at the heavenly pavilion behind him, not only the sevenfold heavenly pavilion, but also the nine heavenly pavilions in the entire ladder of heaven, there are many martial arts classics in it, as well as the experience and insights left by the predecessors, waiting for him to pick it up, but it is no longer the most important thing for him, no matter how much the truth in the book and the perception of the predecessors are, it is also the path of martial arts for others, no matter how beneficial it is for him, it will not pave a smooth road for him, at most it is just to follow behind the predecessors.

Now that he's found a way to go further and farther, what he needs is to be steadfast.

Su Yuan glanced at the figure on the platform that seemed to be unchanged for eternity, and he shouted unceremoniously: "Senior Brother Yangu, how boring it is to practice swords alone, why don't I accompany you to practice your hands." ”

But that figure was motionless like a rock statue, and Su Yuan suddenly smiled and integrated his consciousness into this world.

Yan Gu, who was immersed in his own world, frowned slightly, and the breath around his body, which was still stable, suddenly became disordered, of course he knew who did the good thing, and turned his head to look at Su Yuan, with a trace of anger in his eyes.

Su Yuan hooked his mouth defiantly in the face of his gaze, Yan Gu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his figure rushed forward suddenly.

The two figures did not give in to each other, and the sword light and sword shadow rose and fell one after another, reflecting each other.

The two ignored Tang Chuan's admonition that day and fought again on the platform.

It's just that this time the two sides have a tacit understanding to the point, so there was no bleeding and injury after a long time of fighting, but Su Yuan was inevitably a little ugly on the scene, and he was almost beaten to the point where he had only room to parry.

Later, Su Yuan was staggered back by Yan Gu with the back of his sword, and seeing that Yan Gu's figure had been bullied again, Su Yuan shouted: "Don't fight, I lost." ”

The hilt of the sword that Yan Gu was about to hit suddenly stopped, but when Su Yuan just breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of cunning flashed in Yan Gu's eyes, and a sword slammed into Su Yuan's abdomen.

Su Yuan clutched his stomach and fell to the ground, and said bitterly: "Despicable and shameless." ”

Yan Gu chuckled and said: "Don't pretend, although your strength is not very good, but your body is stronger than a beast, even if you are stabbed a few times, I am afraid that you will be alive again in a few days." ”

Stretched out his hand to pull Su Yuan up.

Qingyang Mountain is hazy in the golden afterglow of the sun.

Su Yuan and Yan Gu stood side by side on the top of the eaves of the Seven Heavenly Pavilions.

Su Yuan was lying reclining, the sun was shining on his face, Yingting's face exuded vigorous vitality, his eyes were facing the sunset, enjoying the warm sunshine, and he said a little lazily: "I didn't expect you to have such a free time, I thought you would only practice swords." ”

Yan Gu held the sword in front of his chest with both hands, leaned lightly against the corner of the eaves, and said, "I will also be tired, and there will be times when I have to stop." ”

"But sometimes I still envy you, you have such a good talent, but in less than a month, the breath is not only more restrained and deeper, but the martial arts have improved a lot compared to before, that time I said that I can fight with me in two years, and now it seems that I still underestimate you." Yan Gu looked at the sky and said leisurely.

Regarding Yan Gu's praise, Su Yuan said flatly: "It's just that my realm is low, and the speed of promotion is a little faster, and when my strength reaches the Xuan Realm, the realm of progress will naturally slow down." ”

"Others will, but I don't think you will, in the face of you a few times...... As if I could control the power of heaven and earth, I felt that the Qi cultivation realm, which would become a barrier for ordinary people, would not become a shackle for you, because you didn't ...... at all It's not in common sense, it's like ...... It has been detached from the inherent category of qi training. Yan Gu paused a few times, not knowing how to describe the feeling.

After speaking, he looked at Su Yuan and saw that his expression was calm, and he knew that Su Yuan understood what he said.

Su Yuan didn't speak, because he remembered the handscroll left by Gong Yiyang.

After a while, Su Yuan suddenly asked, "Tomorrow is the sect competition, I don't know if the senior brother chooses to travel down the mountain or continue to cultivate on the mountain." ”

"For many people, traveling down the mountain is a good way, but in the mountains, the cultivation alone is suitable for me. Yan Gu suddenly lowered his head and said with some self-deprecation: "To be honest, in fact, I was reluctant to come to Qingyang Academy at first, and I was even reluctant to practice martial arts. ”

Su Yuan looked at Yan Gu with some surprise.

"Everyone has their own life they want, when I was young, all I wanted was to live an idle life under the shadow of my ancestors, my ambition was not in the martial arts, there are too many people in this world who want to be heroes, and there are countless people vying to do those heroic things, although this world seems to be peaceful, but the struggle is everywhere. Yan Gu seemed to touch the past, his eyes became distant, and he said slowly: "When I was more than ten years old, my father died violently when he was about to inherit the position of patriarch, and everyone knew why my father died, but no one dared to blame the perpetrator, just because his strength was unmatched in the clan. Later, when the enemy was busy stealing the position of the patriarch, my mother and some clansmen who were friends with my father during his lifetime secretly asked for me a chance to enter the Qingyang Temple, that is, I hoped that I would succeed in martial arts and one day inherit the throne with the enemy, but no one ever asked me, that was not what I wanted, but seeing my family being excluded and suffering injustice in the clan, under those resentful and eager eyes, I knew that I could not refuse. ”

"Over the years, when I want to stop, I think of my father and all the people who have expectations for me, so I can only stop cultivating and only stop when I have the strength to fight that person. ”

"Among the disciples of Qingyang Academy, my talent is not outstanding compared to others, but fortunately, diligence can make up for my clumsiness, and I have achieved a little over the years, and I see the hope of revenge, everyone has different reasons for practicing martial arts, and I'm just because I don't want to see the disappointed eyes of those who care about me. ”

Yan Gu looked at Su Yuan and said with a smile: "There is one thing you have that I envy, that fearless young spirit, you can do everything to win and lose, you should go to a broader world." ”

Su Yuan asked: "Isn't it easy to lose, and do you need to fight?"

"It's not easy for some people to lose, sometimes it's harder than winning. Yan Gu looked a little obscure and sighed.

Su Yuan asked, "Is your enemy very strong, and even your current strength is not an opponent?"

"When I left there, he was in the middle of the Xuan Realm, and his strength must not have stagnated after all these years, and besides, he was powerful in the clan, so it was not easy to defeat him. Yan Gu clenched the sword in his hand and said word by word.

Su Yuan secretly glanced at Yan Gu, seeing that his expression was solemn, he didn't know how to comfort him, and thought about it again, maybe he didn't need the comfort of others at all, and he needed the affirmation of others even more, Su Yuan sighed.

For a long time, perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere was a bit touching, Su Yuan suddenly smiled, "Why do you seem to be parting words today." ”

"Just take it as an early goodbye, after the sect competition, I will retreat and cultivate, at that time you should also go down the mountain, presumably when you come back again, I will no longer be in Qingyang Academy, I have not had a real friend here over the years, you are one." ”

Yan Gu smiled, and his originally slightly cold face had a hint of warmth.

Although I don't want to show the sadness of parting to young people, the more I want to hide this sadness, the more it will be inadvertently revealed.

The two of them looked at the leisurely sky, not knowing what they were thinking.
