There is a slightly deserted street in the inner city of Langya, where there is a mansion, which is the mansion of the gods.

In addition to the necessary domestic servants, the huge mansion is extremely rare compared to other gods and generals and even some aristocratic mansions.

The courtyard is full of all kinds of weapons, and each one of them has been polished, which shows how much the owner of this house cherishes.

At this moment, in a corner, there was a faint voice of whispering.

"Daddy, isn't this okay? If my mother finds out, I won't have anything to eat tonight. ”

A rather deep voice sounded: "Why are you so daring, it's really embarrassing for your father and me to say it." ”

"But...... Dad, you're so bold, why do you have to pull me?"

"For my father, I like you, I can't forget you kid when there are good things, you don't even know how to be grateful? ”

"But...... Daddy, when you said that last time, I was punished by my mother for not being allowed to eat, and I stood on the stone pier with one foot for several hours, and when I fell down a little unsteadily, I had to work overtime, and I felt that my right leg seemed to be a lot thicker, and it was ugly to death. ”

"That's your mother sharpening you, as the son of a dignified general, of course he will go to the battlefield when he grows up, this kind of thing has to start from the doll, isn't the father holding the stone pier below, what do you want?"

"But...... If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't stand steadily, Daddy, I wouldn't have been punished all the time. ”

"Where did you come from so much? But it's your father!"

"Could it be...... Isn't the child your and your mother's son?

“......”

The middle-aged man with a white face in a brocade robe looked at his five-year-old son calmly, and green tendons began to appear on his forehead.

But thinking that this is his own son, he can't beat him, because if he touches a single strand of his son's hair, his wife is likely to shave all his hair, which is very insulting to his prestige.

So he chose to endure it.

He tried to calm his mood and said earnestly: "Good cub, you have to understand clearly, if these things are not destroyed, our father and son will never have peace." Don't you like to read, destroy all these papers, brushes, and so on, and when your mother can't find it, there will be no way to punish us for writing, what a good thing. ”

The five-year-old son stared at his big round eyes and thought seriously: "But Daddy, have you ever thought that these things can be bought again? And if you waste such a large sum of money, your mother may kill your father." ”

“......”

"Why didn't I think of this, it almost caused a catastrophe, so dangerous. ”

"It's because Dad is so stupid, it's not something that a three-year-old can think of. ”

The man ignored this sentence, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with emotion: "I think that I am a famous general of Liu Feiyu's generation, but I have suffered such a catastrophe, it is really a corruption of the world." ”

The five-year-old child looked at his father very innocently.

Liu Feiyu was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, you put these things back in the study, if there is anything wrong with the pool and your mother finds out, then it is not a matter of being a father." The father suddenly remembered that he still had something very important to do, so he took his leave. ”

He stood up very simply, patted the unnecessary dust on his body, coughed lightly, and walked out slowly.

Although Liu Feiyu's name is quite elegant, and his face is also very white, he is a complete rough man, in the words of His Majesty the Emperor, he is lacking in heart.

Seeing him come to the pit like this, it is an extraordinary attainment.

Liu Feiyu thinks that he is a very shrewd person, if the so-called great wisdom is foolish, then in his mind, he should be the kind of person who is extremely stupid.

"Huh, what doesn't seem right?"

After thinking about it, Liu Feiyu felt that there was nothing wrong, so he stepped out of the mansion very satisfied.

Facing a palace attendant, he hurriedly saluted Liu Feiyu and said with a smile: "The little one has seen Liu Shenjiang." ”

Liu Feiyu raised his eyebrows, and said nonchalantly: "This little ...... What is the reason why the little brother is here? ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, grabbed the shoulder of the chamberlain, ignored his changed face and the wail in his mouth, and said excitedly: "Could it be that there is going to be a war? Good fellow, I am almost sick these days, and I can finally leave this boring capital!"

The chamberlain looked very painful, but he was unable to break free, so he could only say miserably: "God has misunderstood the lord, it was His Majesty who summoned him, you better go to the palace quickly!"

......

The blue carriage slowly moved along the stone path into the mountain outside the South City Gate, the seemingly smooth road was uneven, and the hard wheels rolled so that the whole carriage was trembling.

This is already the third day that Liu Feiyu, one of the four great generals of Jiang Kingdom, was ordered to leave the capital and go to the territory of Yan Kingdom.

And this blue canopy carriage naturally did not belong to Liu Feiyu, and the destination of the carriage was the Ligong Sword Academy.

In a dense forest in the outer courtyard, Li Mengzhou did not leave immediately after morning class, but went to Jiangzihua here.

Not many people know about his successful trip to the palace, except for Xue Wangwei, who was already present, Jiang Zihua is the second person to know.

Of course, this is what he thinks he is, and there are still some people in the capital who can know about it without him telling him.

Jiang Zihua was very comfortable lying on the bamboo chair, looking at Li Mengzhou who was sitting in an open space, and said: "Among the newcomers who have been admitted to the hospital this year, three people have already entered the upper realm, first Shen Jiyue and He Zhengrong, and then Zhou Luo two days ago, and you entered the far trip earlier than Zhou Luo. and the latecomers came first, surpassing Shen Jiyue and He Zhengrong, and entered the peak first. Except for a few senior brothers and sisters who have entered the realm of Chengyi who are still in the outer courtyard, you can already rank in the forefront. ”

Of course, he didn't count himself in it, because he never considered himself an outer court disciple.

Li Mengzhou slowly opened his eyes, exhaled, and said: "Traveling to the realm is the real beginning of the monk's journey, even if it is among the best, there is nothing worth saying, my goal is the realm of promise, and even the realm of non-appearance, and even the higher realm of dawn and twilight." ”

Jiang Zihua sighed and said, "It's good that you have such ambitions, but don't say that you are at the peak of the morning and twilight, even if you are in the realm of Wuzhang, how can you achieve it so easily." In today's world, only when you enter Wuzhang can you walk in the world and be called a master of cultivation.

No matter how fast you practice in the early stage, once you reach Wuzhang, it will become difficult to move an inch. Although there are many demons who can advance to Wuzhang at the age of twenty, they can actually be counted, and the senior brother, the third senior sister and the fourth senior brother are all such people.

But apart from the senior brother, there were even fewer people who had reached the same heights as Shen Qiubai and Bei Zangfeng. Most of those with mediocre qualifications can only be promoted to Wuzhang in middle age, and those with worse qualifications are already at the end of their cultivation when they reach the artistic conception of inheritance, and even more people who are difficult to walk on the road of cultivation will not be able to enter the commitment in their lifetime.

It's true that you have this idea of reaching a higher position, but don't be too ambitious, there are no shortcuts to your cultivation, and chances and your own efforts are essential. Now that you have become a serious monk, you still have a long way to go, so don't think too much about it, just focus on what is in front of you. ”

When these words came out, Jiang Zihua really had the style of teaching, and those ignorant newcomers who didn't know it would inevitably bow down.

But Li Mengzhou scoffed very much, and said: "Do you want to learn from you like this, either eat or sleep? Even if you eat too much, you will not gain weight, but it is inevitable that people will say that you are a plaything." I think that the dean left you in the outer courtyard because of a kind of negative teaching material. ”

Jiang Zihua said angrily: "What do you know? Genius, do you know what a genius is?"

He felt that he and Li Mengzhou had nothing to talk about at all, because geniuses have always been lonely, not understood, and envied.

He walked towards the courtyard angrily, thinking that he must eat something delicious and sleep beautifully.

Li Mengzhou can't deny the genius of Jiang Zihua, after all, since he met him, he has never seen Jiang Zihua practice seriously, and he can freely enter and leave the inner courtyard, which can already explain some problems.

At this time, he was very curious, in which realm is the cultivation of Jiang Zi's painting?

He didn't want to think about it at all, and he wouldn't believe it, but at least it should be in the realm of promise.

......

Although it is a cold winter, there is a lot of snow on the ground, but there are still fallen leaves, but no matter how many fallen leaves, there will eventually be a time to fall.

Li Mengzhou glanced sideways slightly, noticed the blue canopy carriage that slowly stopped on the stone path, and then walked down from the carriage.

It was a young man in a blue robe, very handsome and dashing.

The blue-robed man's purpose was very clear, and he soon stood in front of Li Mengzhou.

He put his hands behind his back and looked at Li Mengzhou with calm eyes.

Li Mengzhou's expression was a little complicated, because this was a very familiar person to him.

"Long time no see. ”

Ye Jinyu exhaled lightly, did not return Li Mengzhou's polite greetings, was silent for a while, and said: "I didn't expect you to really enter the palace mountain gate, I have heard some rumors about you." I'm relieved that you're not crushed. ”

Li Mengzhou stood up, looked directly at Ye Jinyu, and said, "I once said that I will definitely become very strong, and then go to the Ye clan to snatch Sang Yu back." Although there is no way to do it, I will still do what I have said. ”

Ye Jinyu said: "You have nothing to do with my sister, not before, and not now. And I don't want to hear my sister's name in your mouth. ”

Li Mengzhou smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, don't see the outside like this." Even if Sang Yu is gone...... But our relationship is still there. I want to know where Sang Yu is buried, and I want to go and see her. ”

Speaking of which, Li Mengzhou's smile gradually disappeared, and he looked at Ye Jinyu very seriously.

Ye Jinyu frowned tightly and said: "Don't have anything to do with me, and I won't tell you where Sang Yu was buried, don't say that when Sang Yu was alive, I didn't allow you to exist, and it still is." Now that you have embarked on the path of cultivation, practice hard and forget about my sister as soon as possible, this is my advice to you. ”

Li Mengzhou was a little incomprehensible, he felt that his request was not excessive, but he obviously felt that Ye Jinyu was very angry at this time, thinking of Sang Yu's voice and smile at the beginning, Li Mengzhou did not refute Ye Jinyu, and chose to be silent.

There was silence in the woods.

Deathly silence.

The two of them didn't speak for a long time, and then Li Mengzhou chose to break the calm, looked at Ye Jinyu very seriously, and said: "I don't know what you're thinking, but as Sang Yu's most beloved brother, I know very well how much you love her, but you don't have the right to deny my liking for her." Sang Yu's body is very weak, she will be afraid of the cold, even as a friend, it is not too much for me to go and see her, right?"

Ye Jinyu was very surprised that Li Mengzhou said this, he thought that maybe Li Mengzhou really liked his sister, but it was none of his business, because he didn't like Li Mengzhou.

At the beginning, he was in Fengjiang just because he didn't want to make her sad because he was looking at his sister's face, which didn't mean that he accepted Li Mengzhou.

"When you get into Wuzhang, maybe I'll tell you, I hope you'll still miss my sister by then. If, over time, you completely forget about her, there will be no reason to be involved. ”

Ye Jinyu's words made Li Mengzhou very angry, the Wuzhang realm is one of the biggest moats on the path of cultivation, even if he is very confident in himself, it is impossible to achieve it casually, this is obviously deliberately difficult.

Of course, Li Mengzhou believed that he would never forget Ye Sangyu, he looked at Ye Jinyu coldly, and said in a deep voice: "No one can stop what I want to do, I don't need to cultivate to the realm of Wuzhang, and when I have the ability to beat you, I will naturally let you tell me obediently." ”

Compared with cultivating to the point of insignificance, Li Mengzhou thinks that it is easier and faster to defeat Ye Jinyu and directly ask questions.

Ye Jinyu's eyes were full of waves, and he said: "Although I am not good at cultivation, I am also in the upper realm of commitment, wait until when you can really defeat me." ”

......

The cold wind was silent in the woods.

Li Mengzhou tightly held the black green sword in his hand.

Jiang Zihua walked out of the small courtyard, looked at the blue canopy carriage that was gradually moving away, and said curiously: "Did someone come just now?"

"It's Ye Jinyu. ”

"Oh. ”

Jiang Zihua nodded, and then ran towards the forest like crazy, shouting: "Why did this damn little white face come back, it's a big trouble now!"

Li Mengzhou looked at the Jiang Zihua who disappeared in a blink of an eye, shook his head silently, and muttered in a low voice: "Promise to go to the realm...... What's the big deal, it's not like I haven't killed it. ”

......

In the library pavilion in the outer courtyard, Lu Jiuge and Nan Sheng, who were dressed in moon-white long skirts, walked out of it with borrowed books.

Nan Sheng said with some interest: "I thought that Li Mengzhou's bastard was secretly driven down the mountain, and I was happy for a while, but I didn't expect him to come out again." ”

Lu Jiuge smiled and said: "Listening to what the senior sister in the inner courtyard said, Senior Brother Li seems to be in retreat, and being able to stay in the inner courtyard to practice shows that Dean Xue values him very much, and our senior sister Nan has a very good eye." ”

I thought that these words could cause Nan Sheng to be very dissatisfied, but I didn't expect that after the words, the surroundings were very quiet, Lu Jiuge couldn't help but look at her curiously, and said: "Didn't you try your best to refute every time you mentioned Senior Brother Li before, why didn't you speak this time?"

Nan Sheng looked ahead in a daze, his eyes rolled wildly, and he suddenly looked at Lu Jiuge with a smile, and said, "Senior sister, don't care about me and Li Mengzhou's bastard, the Senior Brother Ye you think about day and night is here." ”

Lu Jiuge was slightly stunned, and looked ahead, under an old locust tree, there was a figure standing, wearing a blue robe, just like the color of the blue shawl on her body, which was very eye-catching.

"Senior Brother Ye......"

Ye Jinyu walked slowly, shook her hands slightly, and said very calmly: "Senior Sister Lu." ”

For Ye Jinyu's slightly bland greeting, although Lu Jiuge was a little disappointed in her heart, she didn't care too much, after all, Ye Jinyu's smile would only bloom in front of her sister, which was something she knew very well.

Nan Sheng seemed to have the pleasure of finally winning back a city, and said, "Why did Senior Brother Ye only notice Senior Sister and didn't see that there was another person next to him." ”

Ye Jinyu's gaze really shifted to Nan Sheng's body, and said, "Meet again, Senior Sister Nan Sheng." ”

Nan Sheng seemed to feel a little bored, waved his hand and said, "You guys talk, I won't be an eyesore here." ”

There was silence outside the library pavilion, only the handsome man and the beautiful woman looked at each other, silent.

......

As the twilight deepened and the night was approaching, a man and a woman stood side by side on a wooden bridge by a small lake somewhere in the mountain gate of the palace, looking at the scenery in the distance.

As everyone knows, there is a sneaky figure hiding in a secret place under the bridge.

Jiang Zihua looked at the people on the bridge with some gritted teeth.

I felt like my heart was dripping blood.

Li Mengzhou silently looked at the Jiangzi painting that grabbed a handful of snow and put it into his mouth, and then looked at the two people talking on the bridge, looking thoughtful.

I don't know how long it took, but the night shrouded the mountain gate of the palace, and the buildings of the palace under the snow were lit up, and the stars in the sky were scattered everywhere.

In the depths of the silent inner courtyard, the wooden bridge over the lake had whispers from time to time.

Li Mengzhou didn't have the habit of listening to other people's conversations, looking at the envious and jealous Jiang Zihua, he shook his head slightly, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "It turns out that you like Senior Sister Lu." ”

Jiang Zihua didn't make a fuss, in fact, when Li Mengzhou first appeared, he had already found out, and said very lonely at the moment: "I am obviously much more handsome than Ye Jinyu, and the person standing on the wooden bridge with Senior Sister Lu should be me." ”

Li Mengzhou cannot deny that Jiang Zi's paintings are indeed born white, but Ye Jinyu is obviously better-looking, and the noble temperament of his family is also incomparable to Jiang Zihua's paintings.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Mengzhou said: "You only know that you hide in the dark and peep, how can there be a girl who likes you, and you don't care about your cultivation, if I were Senior Sister Lu, I would definitely choose Ye Jinyu, and I wouldn't look at you as a fool." ”

Jiang Zihua was unusually not annoyed, and after reluctantly glancing at it, he turned to Li Mengzhou and said, "Let's go." ”

Li Mengzhou looked at the lonely and departing Jiangzi painting, and then looked at Ye Jinyu on the wooden bridge, squinted his eyes slightly, and muttered: "An unkind guy like you can actually have a girl like her, and this girl is still Senior Sister Lu, it's really a tyrannical thing." ”

He thought that Ye Jinyu would make him feel bad as soon as he came back, and he must not let him be so comfortable.

Looking down, his eyes lit up, he picked up a stone, aimed at Ye Jinyu's face, and threw it out with all his might.

However, Ye Jinyu, who was some distance away, reacted in an instant, reached out and grabbed the fast-coming stone, and before he could snort coldly, another stone flew and smashed on his head with a snap.

There was a trace of anger in Ye Jinyu's eyes, and a white shadow in the dim forest fled at an extremely fast speed, fleeing.

He threw away the stone in hatred: "Childish." ”

Lu Jiuge looked at the fleeing figure with some astonishment, and wondered, "That person seems to be Senior Brother Li?"

Ye Jinyu nodded silently and said, "Secretly playing such a small trick, and being discovered on the spot, I really overestimated him." It's an idiot. ”

Lu Jiuge smiled and said: "Actually, Senior Brother Li is also quite interesting, although I don't know why he threw you with a stone, but it's also very interesting, isn't it." ”

The corners of Ye Jinyu's mouth twitched, and she said coldly: "Your vision is getting worse and worse, you actually think this kind of guy is interesting?"

Lu Jiuge looked at him, his eyes were longing, and he said, "My vision has never been bad. ”

Ye Jinyu was silent for a moment and said, "I haven't seen you for two years, but your cultivation is about to surpass me." ”

Although he entered the mountain gate of the palace very early, and now he is a disciple of the inner courtyard, because he often stays in Fengjiang's family, and in his early years, he was running around for Ye Sangyu's affairs, and his cultivation progress is very slow. Lu Jiuge, who only stepped into the path of cultivation at the age of fourteen, almost surpassed Ye Jinyu in just a few years, and his cultivation speed was naturally not slow.

After all, Pujiayuan is a relatively special cultivation mountain gate, the disciples in the door are all girls, and there are more rules, and they attach great importance to the calmness of the Dao heart, but they ignore the speed of cultivation, so the general cultivation of the disciples of Pujiayuan is not very high among their peers, but because of the solid foundation, they basically occupy a great advantage in the same realm.

Lu Jiuge was given high hopes by the lord of Haitang Mountain, but after all, the cultivation time was still short, and he was only one foot away from entering the peak of Chengyi in 29 years, which was already considerable.

Compared with the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace and the Mountain that does not fall, Pujiayuan is not a very strong mountain gate in the world of cultivators, and there have not been many amazing disciples, but among the people of the generation of the Haitang Mountain Lord, there have also been people with demons with qualifications, and the Haitang Mountain Lord himself is one of them, after all, he is a great monk who has entered the Five Realms, and the ordinary cultivation mountain gate cannot be provoked.

"Senior Brother Ye's qualifications are very high, but because he is entangled in the world, he can't practice wholeheartedly, otherwise he will have a place in the Sword Academy. ”

Listening to Lu Jiuge's words, Ye Jinyu was silent.

He knew very well that this was the biggest obstacle to his spiritual path, but he really couldn't abandon his family, and he didn't want to make changes.
