Hot blood splattered from his chest, and a noisy sound came to his ears in an instant, but only for that moment.

Li Mengzhou's figure fell forward and slammed heavily on the ground.

When Chang Chang -

The black green sword shook a few times on the ground of the small courtyard and fell silent.

Li Mengzhou's slightly half-opened eyes were not filled with any color.

Xie Chunfeng raised the long sword in his hand and calmly looked at Li Mengzhou who fell to the ground, and then looked at Ning Haoran and the others who were standing under the eaves, and said, "Senior Brother Lu's matter has been written off. ”

......

......

Evening.

In the gentle countryside on the shore of Yueming Lake, the girl was pacing back and forth in the corridor on the second floor, clasping her hands tightly together.

The sound of going upstairs sounded slowly, and the girl suddenly looked back.

At the top of the stairs, a figure gradually walked up.

Under the bright light, Jiang Zi's face is very clear.

He looked at the girl-in-law with a worried face, grinned slightly, and said with a smile: "You are so good-looking, even if you are frowning and making a bitter face, you are still so good-looking." ”

Rao is very sad girl couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she said ashamedly: "Can you be serious, when is it now, and just kidding!"

Jiang Zihua said innocently: "I just want to make you happy." ”

The girl said angrily: "What happened to Chaosi Lane, why were all the people inside driven out, and there were officers and soldiers guarding there, and they couldn't get in at all!"

Jiang Zihua rubbed his face, his expression became a little serious, and said: "Li Mengzhou has caused a lot of trouble, you should also know very well, Xuan Zhengsi and Bu Luoshan found Chaosi Lane, and even Lu Zhongwei, who had not been out of the mountain for a long time, appeared, even if there was a palace sword courtyard to protect him, but he always had to pay some price." ”

The girl's face was a little pale, she thought of something very bad, and said in a trance: "Is Li Mengzhou still in Chaosi Lane?"

Jiang Zihua shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Then why was Chaosi Lane sealed by the government?"

"It's just that something happened, the small courtyard where Li Mengzhou lives has been seriously damaged, and the Water Mirror Division will restore it in a short time, but it is full of strong sword energy, if ordinary people get close, it is likely to be in danger, and the officers and soldiers let the people temporarily move away from Chaosi Lane, which is also for their good, and it is inevitable that the alley will be sealed. ”

"What about Li Mengzhou?"

The girl stared at Jiang Zihua closely, and she was afraid that she would hear an answer that she did not want to hear.

Jiang Zihua was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "He is on the sword cliff of the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace. ”

The girl was stunned for a while, first breathed a sigh of relief, and then said puzzledly: "What is that place in Sword Cliff, and why is he there?"

Jiang Zihua said: "I can't tell you clearly, in short, Li Mengzhou got into trouble, and made the teacher of the Sword Academy of the Palace move, the teacher is very angry, and he wants to punish him, you can use Jianya as a prison to hold him." ”

Although the girl still had a lot of questions, as long as she could be sure that Li Mengzhou was okay, she patted her chest and muttered, "As long as he is safe, my heart will feel much better." ”

Jiang Zihua looked at the girl with a strange expression, thoughtful.

"I'm a little hungry, do you have anything to eat here?"

“......”

......

Summer is the easiest season to take a nap, and many things don't lift your spirits, but sometimes you have to force yourself to stay awake for various reasons.

In the hut on the lake, Xue Wangwu lay on a bamboo chair, his eyes half-squinted.

Ning Haoran stood aside with his hands in his hands, quietly looking at the jubilant fish in the lake, and said softly: "Little junior brother took Xie Chunfeng's sword, he should have died, but he survived, and the Qi Sea Spirit Yuan was almost exhausted, but it also made him take a step back when he should have stepped into the threshold of the Four Realms with half a foot. ”

"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, what you gain, you have to lose something, but the threshold of the four realms is already difficult to cross, and now that his cultivation is regressive, it will be even more difficult for him to cross that threshold again. ”

This is indeed a very bad thing.

But compared to being able to survive, it seems that it is worth paying such a price, after all, once life ends, there is really nothing, and as long as the foundation of cultivation is not damaged, the little bit of cultivation that has regressed can still be cultivated back after all.

Xue Wangwu said calmly: "His cultivation is too fast, the foundation is not solid, although He Zhengrong was admitted to the palace with him, but after all, before the entrance examination to leave the palace, he has already entered the visualization, laid a good foundation, and practiced in the outer courtyard of the palace, it is natural to be able to make the foundation more solid, unlike Li Mengzhou, who only entered the meditation for the first time at the age of seventeen, and then followed by the rapid progress of cultivation, he has almost no time to lay the foundation, and now he stays outside the threshold of the four realms for a period of time, which is also good for him." ”

There are many people in the world of cultivation who are in the stage of visualization, and suddenly accumulate thick and thin, and when they are baptized by Amaterasu, they directly step into a long journey, just like Guan Muyun in the academy, but rarely when they first enter the visualization, they are quickly baptized by Amaterasu again, and their cultivation continues to erupt without hindrance.

Although Li Mengzhou had been plagued by the inability to see the sea of qi and stagnated for a period of time in the Amaterasu stage, it was a problem with the sea of qi and was not the same thing.

The stage of Amaterasu's visualization is the time to lay the foundation, and although Li Mengzhou has been visualizing Amaterasu for half a day, he has been unable to step into the realm of long-distance travel because he can't see the sea of qi, but he has always focused on the problem of the sea of qi and has not laid any foundation.

When the foundation is not strong, it is not a good thing to cultivate too quickly and enter the realm.

And like He Zhengrong and Guan Muyun, who have already laid a good foundation, it is an excellent thing to enter the realm of cultivation soon.

Ning Haoran turned his eyes to look at the sword cliff in the inner courtyard, knowing that although it was a punishment for Li Mengzhou, he closed the cliff and thought about it, but the sword cliff was not a cliff.

In a trance, he seemed to feel like he had forgotten something.

......

Sword Cliff.

Although it is not a holy place of luck in the world, but for the Ligong Sword Academy, the sword cliff is no different from the holy land, where the treasures of the Ligong Sword Academy are stored, the sword is of course the treasure of the Ligong Sword Academy, and the natal sword of the ancestors is the largest treasure of the Ligong Sword Academy.

It is full of the sword intent of the great sword cultivation of the Sword Academy of the Palace of the past dynasties, and for the younger generations, practicing there will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

The evening glow burned the whole sky red, and it was as magnificent as a burning cloud.

The sword cliff seems to be really a sword, and under the reflection of the sunset, it wants to break through the sky.

The scenery of Sword Cliff is beautiful, there is a long mountain road to the top, and the clouds and mist are swirling, like a dream.

Feeling the sword intent revealed in the sword cliff, Li Mengzhou was quite emotional, although this was not the first time he climbed the sword cliff, but last time he just stayed halfway up the mountain, and did not see the whole picture of the sword cliff, the natal sword of the ancestors of the Sword Academy of the Palace, the stronger the sword intent, the higher the position, maybe there will be a sword immortal sword on the peak of the sword cliff.

He thought that if he could devour the sword intent of the Sword Immortal, he would definitely be able to directly cross the threshold of the Four Realms.

But this is just an idea, although the natal swords in the sword cliff are all ownerless, the sword intent is real, once you feel the hostility, those sword intents can definitely tear Li Mengzhou apart.

The first time he climbed the Sword Cliff, he only barely devoured the three inferior swords, and he wanted to devour the sword intent of the Sword Immortal, which was undoubtedly an act of death.

And he didn't know if there was a sword immortal in this sword cliff.

The mountain path on the sword cliff is very difficult to walk, especially at the beginning of the mountainside, the sword intent forms an independent formation, although it will not directly kill the climber, but if the countless sharp sword intent does not have enough willpower to support it, it will definitely be difficult.

Li Mengzhou's face was a little pale, he was stabbed by Xie Chunfeng in the chest, and the sword qi entered his body, causing his internal organs to be damaged, if it weren't for the fact that his body had been quenched by a medicinal bath, and the essence of the liquid was fused all over the body, playing a certain protective role, his internal organs would definitely be shattered by the sword qi and turned into an empty shell.

The injury he suffered this time was actually not more serious than when he was injured by Zhuge Dan, it was not that Xie Chunfeng really released the water, but it was true that he did not exert the power of that sword to the extreme.

It's not that Xie Chunfeng doesn't want to kill him.

As the chief disciple of the mountain, he has no reason to be soft-hearted in the face of the murderer who killed his junior brother.

But Li Mengzhou's cultivation is indeed too weak, and Xie Chunfeng doesn't need to cut out the strongest sword, and it is normal to have reservations, because no matter who looks at it, even if Xie Chunfeng casually cuts out a sword, it is enough to kill Li Mengzhou.

Although Li Mengzhou is the murderer of Lu Changge, he is also the seventh gentleman of the Sword Academy of the Palace after all, Xie Chunfeng wants to leave him a whole corpse, but it is also out of moral considerations, but fortunately, the body tempered by the medicinal bath can barely resist the external attack, and the spiritual level is due to the practice of the "Silkworm Annihilation Scroll" supernatural power, even if he can't bear to faint in the end, but it is not fatal.

In fact, if it weren't for Li Mengzhou's crazy urging of the Qi Sea Spirit Yuan, which caused the entire Qi Sea to dry up and offset Xie Chunfeng's large amount of sword qi, he would definitely die with his body tempered by the medicinal bath alone.

This may seem simple, but it's actually a crazy move.

If a cultivator's qi sea is exhausted, it is very easy to damage the foundation of cultivation and bury the cultivation path, and Li Mengzhou has no scruples about triggering the entire qi sea without scruples while saving his life, which is also a big gamble.

Although the lucky bet was won, the regression of cultivation is an indisputable fact.

This is also a matter of no way, to be able to survive under Xie Chunfeng's sword, if there is no price at all, Li Mengzhou himself will not believe it.

At this moment, he was standing halfway up the mountain, his legs trembled slightly, he was stabbed by Xie Chunfeng in the daytime, and he started to climb the mountain in the evening, although he was treated by the medicine king Chenru during the period, but his injuries did not get much better, this is Xue Wangwu's punishment for him, even if he is unwilling in his heart, he has to endure it.

At that time, the matter in Chaosi Lane was also in a uproar in the capital, and the disciples of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, the disciples of the Immortal Mountain, and the armor of the Xuanzheng Division gathered in Chaosi Lane, even if they wanted to hide it afterwards, they couldn't hide it.

After all, it was a little wrong for Li Mengzhou to kill Lu Changge in the prison of Xuanzheng Division, after all, it had been put on the surface, and there was also the suspicion that Zhu Shilang was killed, Xue Wangwei also used to punish Li Mengzhou to block Youyou's mouth, mainly to block Xu Hexian and Lu Zhonghui's mouth.

Lu Zhonghui couldn't see Li Mengzhou killed, and he was very unwilling, but the explicit agreement was not easy to violate, so he could only hold back his anger in his heart.

And Xu Hexian made a second attack on Li Mengzhou, which ended in failure again, and now Li Mengzhou has become the seventh gentleman of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, and it will become difficult for him to target Li Mengzhou again.

The pent-up emotions must be extremely terrifying when they explode.

But judging from the current situation, Li Mengzhou has gotten rid of all the troubles.

The most important thing now is to lay a good foundation in Sword Cliff, although he doesn't expect to be able to cross the threshold of the four realms, but Li Mengzhou really needs to be quiet and think about how to go after that.

......

A crescent moon rose quietly, and the stars radiated a faint light around her, bringing out its beauty in the best form.

When the night fell, the night was as thick as ink, and it could not be dissolved deeply.

At the beginning of the night, people have not yet slept, and the night scenery of the capital has just begun to bloom.

Chaosi Lane was temporarily blocked, and the residents who lived in Chaosi Lane either temporarily lived in a friend's house or in an inn, and the Water Mirror Division made proper arrangements, and each family distributed some silver, after all, they had suffered a disaster, and they always had to give some compensation.

The Water Mirror Division will move quickly, and within a few days, the residents will be able to return to their homes.

In the silence and peace, the silvery moonlight sprinkled on the streets, the mournful cries of crickets in the corners, and the evening breeze blowing, although it was dry, but also slightly cool.

Gu Shiyan walked silently on a deserted street.

Chaosi Lane was closed by the Water Mirror Division, and she naturally couldn't live in the small courtyard, originally Aunt Feng planned to let Gu Shiyan follow her, but Gu Shiyan politely refused.

She thought that Li Mengzhou didn't know how long she would stay on the sword cliff of the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, and even if Chaosi Lane was reopened, she would be alone, so she wanted to find a place to live again.

And Xianfu Inn is the best choice.

Because cultivators from outside live in the Xianfu Inn, except for special expenses, food and accommodation do not need to spend money.

Just when Gu Shiyan was about to approach an immortal inn, she seemed to suddenly sense something, her footsteps paused slightly, and by the white moonlight in the sky, she slowly turned her head and saw a figure turning out of a certain alley.

It was a relatively strange, but unspeakably strange, young man.

Because although Gu Shiyan has not been in contact with each other, she has also heard of it.

The new name of the academy, Kwan Muyun.

was also defeated by Li Mengzhou in the five-story building.

Guan Muyun also noticed Gu Shiyan, hesitated slightly, and walked over slowly.

"I know that the girl and Li Mengzhou both live in Chaosi Lane, and I also heard about what happened in Chaosi Lane today. ”

The academy attaches great importance to etiquette, Guan Muyun first greeted Gu Shiyan, and then whispered.

Gu Shiyan was silent for a moment, looked at him and said, "What do you want to say?"

Guan Muyun didn't care about Gu Shiyan's indifferent attitude, but asked with some curiosity: "What is the relationship between the girl and Li Mengzhou?"

Gu Shiyan frowned and said, "What do you have to do with it?"

Guan Muyun smiled: "I'm just a little curious, after all, the girl and Li Mengzhou live in Chaosi Lane, if it weren't for their close relationship, I'm afraid it would be a little inappropriate." ”

Gu Shiyan still had a cold face, and repeated: "What do you have to do with it?"

Guan Muyun was speechless for a while.

He has no experience in talking to girls, and it is considered his bad luck to meet Gu Shiyan.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

He hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I didn't mean anything else, the girl doesn't have to be so hostile. ”

Gu Shiyan said impatiently: "Are you okay?"

Guan Muyun was depressed thinking that he just happened to appear here, where would something happen, he scratched his head and said, "Chaosi Lane is temporarily closed by the Water Mirror Division, where is the girl going to live?"

Gu Shiyan took a deep breath and said word by word: "What do you have to do with it?"

Guan Muyun's face became a little ugly, he felt that it was really difficult to talk to a girl, no matter what he said, the other party would only answer one sentence.

Compared with reading a book alone, reading a book is really much more interesting.

He exhaled slowly, cheered up and said, "I have to go back to reading, so I will leave." ”

His expression was a little embarrassed, also because he really didn't know what to say, and it didn't seem to make sense to continue the awkward conversation.

He looked a little flustered and turned around and walked away, but he didn't notice the direction, and almost hit the wall, a messy group in his heart.

Gu Shiyan looked at Guan Muyun who fled in the wilderness with a very strange expression, feeling inexplicable.

......

Sword Cliff.

Li Mengzhou sat paralyzed on the mountain road, looking at the figure standing quietly in front of him with some surprise.

Dressed in red, he fluttered with the night wind, his waist was slender, and he stood straight, like a sharp sword, completely suppressing the sword intent of the natal swords that were inserted into the stones around him.

It was a girl.

And it is a girl that Li Mengzhou is very familiar with.

The girl who exuded a sharp aura and had a cold face was undoubtedly Xiao Zhinan.

He was very surprised, why did he meet Xiao Zhinan on the Sword Cliff?

This is the holy place of the Imperial Sword Academy, how could Xiao Zhinan appear here?

He struggled to stand up, walked to Xiao Zhinan's approach, and said with a slight grin because of the pain in his body: "This is the forbidden place of the Palace Sword Courtyard, you sneaked here, if you are discovered, it will be a very serious problem." ”

Xiao Zhinan glanced at Li Mengzhou, she had been in Sword Cliff for a long time, and she had been standing here for a long time, she didn't know what was happening in the capital, she just frowned slightly and said, "Are you injured?"

Li Mengzhou shook his head and said softly: "It's nothing, you can't die." ”

Xiao Zhinan said: "I only appeared here with the consent of Dean Xue. ”

Li Mengzhou scratched his head, didn't think about it, and said: "I was punished in the Sword Cliff to think about it, and there are also some problems in cultivation, thinking that at least the problem can be solved in the Sword Cliff before I can go down." ”

Xiao Zhinan stared at Li Mengzhou, was silent for a moment, and said: "There is a strong sword aura in that scar on your chest, it stands to reason that that sword qi is strong enough to kill you, why are you still alive?"
