The sun isn't as warm in the winter, but the nights are colder than ever.

Winter can't warm you up, but you can warm your heart.

Li Mengzhou sat in the noodle restaurant in Chaosi Lane, eating the noodles made for him by Aunt Feng.

There was no one in the store at this time, Aunt Feng cleaned up the tables and chairs, carried a wooden box, and said to Li Mengzhou: "You help take a look at the store here, and I will bring dinner to your uncle in the back." ”

Li Mengzhou knew that Aunt Feng had a husband who had been sick in bed for many years, but she had never seen her, and naturally she was not interested in seeing her.

It's just because Aunt Feng takes good care of him, but it has nothing to do with her husband, Li Mengzhou feels that it was her husband who was sick in bed who pulled Aunt Feng's hind legs, which made her live so miserable.

It's not that Li Mengzhou is ruthless, just because that's what he thinks.

But this matter was voluntarily done by Aunt Feng, and of course Li Mengzhou couldn't really say it, so he would really become a white-eyed wolf.

Since successfully entering the pinnacle of the long journey, Li Mengzhou has also begun to really contact the cultivation magic power in the mountain gate of the palace, "Melting Snow Style" has been integrated by him, if he wants to become stronger, he must master the second form of "Lijian Sutra" as soon as possible - according to the sky and flowing clouds.

Even the fourth senior brother Ning Haoran had only cultivated to the fourth type of sword dust, and since the sword move of the empty flowing clouds began, only those who were qualified to enter the inner courtyard could practice, and if they did not practice enough, they would not be able to comprehend.

Although Li Mengzhou did not enter the inner courtyard, he entered the peak of the trip earlier than most people, and naturally came into contact with the clouds in the sky.

Of course, this was tacitly approved by Xue Wangwei.

By helping Aunt Feng look at the store, Li Mengzhou studied the second form of "The Book of Swords" very seriously.

Flowing clouds in the sky is a very mysterious sword move, just like the clouds floating in the sky, it has never been fixed, unpredictable, and the requirements for understanding are naturally extremely high.

In the following days, Li Mengzhou's life continued to become boring, and the problem of Qi Hai was solved, although it was not perfect, it was good to be able to practice, all his focus was on cultivation, and the number of times he went to Gentle Township became less.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, and the capital is plunged into unprecedented liveliness.

And Li Mengzhou thought that Ye Jinyu would stay in the Sword Academy to practice when he came back this time, but he didn't expect to return to Fengjiang after just staying for a few days, perhaps because of the upcoming New Year, Ye Jinyu came back just to give Xue Wangwu an early year, and then went home to accompany the old man.

This inevitably reminded Li Mengzhou that it seemed simpler for him to surpass Ye Jinyu, facing a person who did not work hard to cultivate, even if the other party's cultivation realm was higher than his own, it was only temporary.

On this day, Li Mengzhou rushed to the mountain gate of the palace as usual, but saw a different scenery.

There were many people gathered in front of the stele of the palace, noisy and shouting.

Li Mengzhou even saw the figure painted by Jiang Zi.

Walking slowly towards the mountain, he stood next to Jiang Zihua, looked at those who were obviously not disciples of the Leaving Palace Sword Academy, and said curiously, "What's going on? I haven't seen such a lively time since the entrance test of the Leaving Palace." ”

Jiang Zihua sneered and said: "It's normal that you don't know, these people don't fall off the mountain, I thought they finally knew the gap between the two, and they didn't dare to come to the mountain gate to provoke again this year, but I didn't expect it to be so shameless."

Almost every year, the Immortal Mountain will send a war letter to our Imperial Sword Academy, and the two sides of the battle must be new disciples during the year. In the past, there were victories and defeats, but our Sword Academy is still a step higher, and the new beginner disciples recruited this year are limited, and I don't know what kind of thoughts I am playing if I don't fall down, in short, it is not a good thing. ”

Li Mengzhou nodded thoughtfully, and said indifferently: "Isn't it just a war book, it's not interesting, just fight." ”

Jiang Zihua said: "If you don't fall from the mountain, you come prepared every time, although you have been defeated many times in previous years, you have also won many battles, and you are an opponent who cannot relax your vigilance." And this year's war book is a little delayed compared to previous years, so I must be thinking of some kind of ghost idea.

Moreover, I heard that this year, Buluo Mountain has recruited a lot of disciples, and according to the previous rules, you seven people who are new to the school will inevitably face a lot of opponents. ”

Li Mengzhou said very subconsciously: "This is too unfair, right?"

Without waiting for Jiang Zihua to answer, Li Mengzhou said very clearly: "But this is really nothing for our Imperial Sword Academy, even if there are many opponents, they can't escape a typing, how can a dignified sword cultivator be afraid of any crowd tactics." ”

Jiang Zihua nodded, glanced at him, and said: "Our disciples of the Palace Sword Academy are naturally not afraid of fighting, but in previous years, it was also because there were too many opponents and they lacked skills, which led to a fiasco, and this year we only have seven people, and we don't know how many people we will fight if we don't fall down the mountain, you and Shen Jiyue should be more careful." ”

Li Mengzhou didn't speak, obviously not caring much about this matter.

The almost annual competition between the disciples of the Leaving Palace Sword Academy and the Leaving Palace Sword Academy has always been the most worthy thing to discuss in the capital, and there will be a lot of people watching the battle, which is not only a simple competition, but also means the strength and weakness of the Leaving Palace Sword Academy and the Leaving Palace.

Although it was very lively in front of the mountain gate, it was still very calm inside the mountain gate, as if this matter could not attract the attention of the disciples in the inner courtyard at all.

The time of the morning class was postponed, but it was only half an hour, and after the matter in front of the mountain gate subsided, the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace returned to its usual calm, but for the disciples of the outer court, it may only be calm on the surface.

The only ones who really achieved Gujing Wubo were Li Mengzhou and He Zhengrong.

After the bell rang for the morning class, discussions began in the outer courtyard, and the name that appeared the most often was a person named Tang Tian.

"I heard that Tang Tian is also a disciple who has just entered the mountain this year, but in terms of cultivation, he is only one foot away from entering the Chengyi realm, I don't know if it's true?"

"I always feel that something is not true, no matter how high his qualifications are, it is impossible for him to enter the Chengyi realm so quickly, right?"

"If it's a character like our senior brother and Shen Qiubai, it's not impossible. ”

"Don't guess, according to reliable sources, that Tang Tian had already been in contact with cultivation before entering the mountain, so it is normal for his realm to be a little higher, and it does not mean that his qualifications can be compared with that of Senior Brother.

However, it seems that there is indeed no one who can compare with Tang Tian among the new disciples in the outer courtyard of our palace, and it seems that in this year's competition, we are very likely to lose the palace. ”

"How can you grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige?"

"I'm also seeking truth from facts, although Shen Jiyue, He Zhengrong, and Zhou Luo have good qualifications, they have all entered the upper realm of travel, and they can even advance to the peak at any time, but they can't be Tang Tian's opponents, after all, they are invincible existences in the realm of Chengyi. Of course, I hope that our Sword Academy can win, but as far as the facts are concerned, it is not optimistic. ”

A lot of people fell silent.

Naturally, they will not be reconciled, but because of Tang Tian's existence, the scale of victory is indeed more inclined not to fall, which is definitely not something that can be changed if you don't want to.

"If you don't come down the mountain to come down to the war book, you must be prepared, it is said that there is Xie Chunfeng's younger brother inside, in terms of cultivation and numbers, we are at a disadvantage in the palace sword courtyard, and it is not easy to turn the tables against the wind. ”

......

Li Mengzhou, who heard these discussions for the first time, was very angry.

Jiang Zihua also felt the same way, and said angrily: "These guys really have no backbone, they haven't started to fight yet, they think they will lose, and what's even more infuriating is that they actually respect that Tang Tian?

Li Mengzhou ignored Jiang Zihua's anger, reached out and touched his chin, looking irrepressible, and said with annoyance: "Why hasn't anyone mentioned my name, anyway, I have also entered the peak of the Far Journey Realm, what is that Tang Tian, they shouldn't respect me." ”

“......”

Jiang Zihua found it hard to believe that this was the reason why Li Mengzhou was angry.

Not to mention that not many people in the Sword Courtyard of the Palace know that Li Mengzhou has entered the long journey, and his popularity alone is not very good in the Sword Academy, and it is normal to choose to ignore or temporarily forget Li Mengzhou in the face of not falling down the mountain.

Jiang Zihua didn't know whether he should be angry with those disciples of the outer courtyard who were not angry, or angry that Li Mengzhou couldn't grasp the point.

"It's you newcomers who take over the battle book, since you are full of confidence, I can't dampen your enthusiasm, the voice in this outer courtyard is too noisy, why don't we go down the mountain and relax." ”

Li Mengzhou and Jiang Zihua walked down the mountain together, and the front of the mountain gate was once again as empty as usual, leaving only the chaotic footprints of many people gathered here in the morning.

The two of them urged the aura of heaven and earth to walk, and the speed was very fast.

Mountains swept by as quickly as clouds of smoke.

Li Mengzhou gently threw out the dark blue long sword, the sword body drew an arc in the air, grasped it again, flipped his wrist, shook the sword body, and the sword qi like frost and snow appeared and disappeared.

He looked at Jiang Zi's painting and said, "You should have participated in the competition between the Sword Academy and the Immortal Mountain, right? It seems that you are very disdainful of the Immortal Mountain, and you have some resentment, could it be that you have been defeated in the hands of someone before?"

Jiang Zihua was silent.

He glanced at Li Mengzhou and said very seriously: "I have been in the palace since I was a child, and at first I was not good at cultivation and did not participate, and then because I am no longer a new disciple, I am not qualified to participate.

But a few years ago, I fought against Xie Chunfeng, who did not fall from the mountain, and I did lose badly, although we are both cultivators in the realm of inheritance, but his strength is much stronger than mine.

There is nothing to say about these things, the fourth senior brother quickly helped me take revenge, but I still hope to be able to defeat that Xie Chunfeng with my own hands, I heard that Xie Chunfeng's younger brother will also participate in the competition this time, and you can teach the little calf a good lesson when the time comes. ”

Li Mengzhou didn't care about the point in these words, but he could finally confirm that Jiang Zihua was really a monk who inherited the artistic conception, and it was already a few years ago.
