Before dawn the next day, Liu Xuzhu had already gotten up, he didn't see Kong Zhou's figure, and he didn't see Xi Cheng, so he wiped his face, and walked out of the courtyard, just walked to the bamboo forest not far from the door of the house, and heard Xi Cheng's excited applause. He walked into the bamboo forest in the direction of the sound, and saw Xi Cheng shouting and jumping not far away, and kept clapping and cheering.

"What's wrong with this guy? So excited early in the morning. Liu Xujiao raised his feet and walked towards him, wanting to ask what was going on, but at this moment, there was a "bang" sound above his head, and then, a piece of bamboo with branches and leaves fell from above, and smashed straight towards him. Behind him, the bamboo plunged straight into the ground, bursting with countless mud spots.

Before he could catch his breath, Xi Cheng grabbed his hand and pointed ahead, "Look, Kong Gongzi's sword is even more powerful than yours." ”

Liu Xuzhu looked forward and saw Kong Zhou standing in a clearing between the bamboo forests, his hands slowly raised. Where the hands are held together is a sword hilt, to be precise, there is only a sword hilt and no long sword body, but on the dense bamboo in the north, there is a faint cast of a fluttering sword shadow, the sword shadow only exists for a moment, and then disappears with the arrival of daylight, but a gust of wind blows, and the bamboo leaves above the head cover the daylight, and the fluttering sword shadow resurfaces.

Kong Zhou's raised hands drew an elegant arc and waved towards a tall bamboo next to him, Liu Xujiao's ears came with a "click" sound, and his eyes saw that the bamboo body shook slightly, and there was no change, but soon after, the green bamboo fell down in a gentle south wind and smashed on the mud next to him and Xi Cheng. The morning sun jumped out from the east, illuminating the entire bamboo forest, and the long sword returned to invisible, merging with the fragrance of grass leaves in the forest, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

Liu Xuzhu was stunned, but Xi Cheng tugged at his sleeve excitedly beside him, "See, that sword disappeared, as soon as it touched the light, it disappeared, it was really a divine object." ”

Kong Zhou held the hilt of the sword in his hand and walked over to the two of them, he clasped his fists with both hands, "Let Liu Gongzi smile, I was negligent just now, I didn't see Gongzi coming, I don't know if I hurt you?" ”

Liu Xuzhu came back to his senses at this time, and he shook his head slightly, "I'm fine, it's just that Brother Kong's sword is really extraordinary, can you lend me a look." ”

Kong Zhou stuffed the hilt of the sword into his hand, "You have to be careful, although you can't see the sword body, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, it's extremely sharp, you will see blood everywhere you go, don't touch it." ”

Liu Xuzhu looked at the hidden sword body, and sighed in his mouth: "It's because I'm lonely and unheard, and I don't know that there are such strange swords in the world, and today is a long insight." ”

"Childe's frog is also a treasure that is unparalleled in the world, so why bother to be presumptuous." Kong Zhou smiled and took the hilt of the sword from his hand and stuffed it into the scabbard.

"Brother Kong's sword has a name?" Liu Xuzhu asked further.

Kong Zhou smiled slightly, "It's called Chengying." ”

"Chengying Sword?" The right ear looked at Yan Niang, "Why is it called such a strange name?" ”

"It is a famous sword in ancient times, with Hanguang and Xiaolian, when the shadow of the inheritance is baked, Jiao divides the shadow, and the goose forgets to return, so the name inherits the shadow." Yan Niang bent her eyes and said with a smile.

The two walked while talking, but they didn't expect to meet Jiang Xixi pulling Xun'er out of Xin'an Mansion, followed by Cheng Muyou.

"Yan Niang," Xun'er said while rubbing her eyes, "I want to get up early to go to the academy for morning study, why do you go out so early?" ”

"The silk thread of the embroidery village is almost running out, so my right ear and I will go to the street to buy some more." After she finished speaking, she saluted Cheng Mu again, "My lord, something happened to Yunhu Academy, where is Xun'er going to study?" ”

Cheng Muyou also stepped forward, "There is more than one academy in Xin'an City, this kid is not worried about running out of books."

Jiang Xixi interjected on the side, "Has the girl heard about the matter of Yunhu Academy?" ”

Yan Niang smiled, "This matter is so big, I am not deaf and blind, how can I not know." ”

"Also, the girl is deaf and clear-sighted, in my opinion, all the things in Xin'an City are under the control of the girl."

Yan Niang still smiled, "Miss Jiang has won the award." ”

"Sorry sister, let's go, if we don't leave, it'll be too late." Although Xun'er was small, he keenly smelled the smell of gunpowder between the two women, he pulled Jiang Xixi's sleeve, saluted Cheng Mu again, and left with Jiang Xixi.

"Master Cheng, it's not too early, I'm afraid that the fine silk thread will be sold out, so I'll leave first." Yan Niang made a gesture and prepared to leave.

"Miss Yan, please stay for a moment." Cheng Muyou quickened his pace and walked in front of Yan Niang.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

"I told me that her foot was injured by a ghost, and the ghost was a character, and she also said that she was fortunate to have a girl at the time, so she got rid of the ghost, but I never figured it out, what was it? I also hope that the girl will not hesitate to teach. ”

Yan Niang raised her eyes, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint adults, I don't know much about it, I really can't say why." ”

"The girl doesn't want to tell the truth?"

Yan Niang smiled faintly, "My lord's words are so strange, I am not related to you, why do I have to tell you everything, besides, my lord is not hiding it from me, and I am not happy at all." ”

Cheng Muyou's face turned pale, "What am I hiding from the girl?" ”

Yan Niang looked at him fixedly, did not speak, but said in her right ear, "It's boring, my lord is here, let's talk about it, where has Lord Liu gone?" ”

Cheng Muyou stared at her for a while, and then said word by word: "Lord Liu has gone home to visit relatives." ”

"Are you going back to your home?"

"Yes."

Seeing that he didn't deny it, Yan Niang didn't say anything more, she looked at her right ear, "Let's go, there will really be no good silk thread for a while, look where you cry." ”

After speaking, the two turned around and wanted to leave, but Cheng Muyou's voice sounded behind him again, this time, his voice was much higher-pitched, "Girl, it's not that Cheng intends to be wary of you, it's just that the girl's whereabouts and identity are too secretive, I have to pay more attention." ”

Yan Niang turned her head to look at him, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, turning into two good-looking arcs, "My lord, I don't blame you, it's quite interesting to fight with a smart person like you." ”

With that, she moved forward with her right ear and never looked back. The two walked through the lively morning market, did not stop at any shop, but walked all the way in the direction of Yunhu Academy.
