Su Xun's knife disappeared, and he rushed in front of Shao Xuejian, and the blade made a sharp slash with great coercion. Shao Xuechen stood still, and the sword slashed through an arc in mid-air, like a whip, and was drawn at the tip of the "Zhengxun", using a weak force to make the "Zhengxun" change the reverse of the slash. Before the real Su Xun really slashed that knife, there would be a short time to charge his strength, and he was the most vulnerable moment at that time. Shao Xuechen seized this opportunity and stabbed forward with his long sword!

"Zhengxun" suddenly changed direction at the moment of slashing, Shao Xuechen changed his stab to block, the instantaneous change made him unable to condense too much strength, as if he had been hit by a fierce beast, his body leaned back, and he took a few steps back at great speed.

The long sword vibrated rapidly in Shao Xuejian's hand, making a low humming sound. Although it was only a touch of a button, the force it received made this quaint long sword continue to vibrate. Shao Xueji quickly unloaded the force along the frequency of the long sword's vibration.

"I thought you would be different from us when you opened the killing ring. Su Xun said disdainfully, "It doesn't seem to be anything now." ”

"Can you talk less nonsense?" Shao Xuechen was impatient, "It will only affect the speed of your knife." ”

The two looked at each other, and the next moment, they pounced again.

"Zhengxun" and the long sword faced each other again, and in Su Xun's hands, "Zhengxun" gave full play to the four words of what is called toughness and toughness. The sword melted into the air, into the ghost, always showing up at an unexpected moment to complete a surprising interception, and then immediately withdrawing and merging into the air again. The two of them turned into a virtual light at high speed, and the sword light and sword shadow refracted the light of the twilight, impermeable to the wind. Su Xun's friends could only see a white blur shadow and a pale green blur shadow crisscrossing in a large net of swords, swords, and shadows. The two are no longer as simple as a competition, it seems to be a real fight.

The aftermath of the battle between the two men frightened the onlookers, who held their heads and said, "We are innocent!

Every swing of "Zhengxun" was mixed with Su Xun's low roar, and the metal hum caused by the collision of weapons was complex and harsh, and the killing intent in the air became more and more viscous.

"It's over. Su Xun said, "If we continue to fight like this, we will all have to lose our strength." ”

"Of course. I also feel like it's a waste of time. Shao Xuechen agreed, "Then let's decide the winner with one move." ”

On the first day of returning, let the old man wait, in the old man's opinion, this is very impolite and disrespectful to the elders, and it is estimated that a scolding is indispensable when he goes back.

The long sword began to dance, Shao Xuejian's gait was so light as if he was dancing a graceful dance, his long black hair flew in the air full of water vapor, and a little bit of light began to condense like a firefly, but it was blue. When it was fully formed, it was an ice sword one by one, braving the cold air, and the cold light shining at the tip of the sword was about to pierce other people's eyeballs.

"You know, because of you, I'm going to be scolded by the old man when I go back. Shao Xuechen said.

"If he knew you called him that, you'd be scolded even worse by him. Su Xun said.

"Zhengxun" burst into flames, and the frenzy and slaughter crept in at this moment, and the high heat scorched the air and turned illusory.

Ice and fire blended together, this moment became dead silent, and the next moment, the two elemental mortal enemies burst out with power, breaking through the earth and flying sand and stones. Su Xun's friends widened their eyes, thinking that this would allow them to look through the dust and see them. But staring too big will only increase the probability of dust drifting into your eyes.

The dust was blown away by the wind, and two vague figures gradually appeared, and Su Xun's friends became excited, they were about to know the final result. The dust was a little lighter, and both of them were covered with a lot of dust. Shao Xuejian's sword stayed in front of Su Xun's throat, a few millimeters away, and "Zhengxun" was still held by Su Xun in his hand, and he didn't have time to swing it again.

Seeing this result, some of Su Xun's friends were annoyed and some were happy, and the joyful people shouted, "Take the money and take the money, you have lost." ”

"They're betting you with me. Shao Xuechen withdrew his sword.

"The money can't be theirs either. Su Xun showed a "greedy" smile, his teeth flashing, "The sun hasn't set yet......"

"But I have to go back, and if I have to keep the old man waiting, I'll die an ugly death. By the way, half of the money is for me. ”

A few minutes later, the people who had been happy were all squatting on the ground with their heads folded in chagrin, glaring at him angrily.

Shao Xuechen grabbed a handful of gold coins and stuffed them into his storage ring, then walked a few steps, and turned his head again, "You can pursue my senior sister." ”

"Because of the money?"

"You can think of it that way, after all, you didn't win me. Shao Xuechen raised his hand, "However, I can count this money as you bribing me." ”

"When do I need to bribe someone?" Su Xun was disdainful.

"And I take that sentence back?"

Su Xun waved his hand again, "However, everything can always be made an exception." ”

So he crossed the cobblestone path again, and came to the master's house by the moon that had just risen half a round of light. He nervously pushed open the courtyard door.

It's as simple as ever, but it's clean, and every furnishing is just what is necessary. The old man sat in the living room, and when he saw Shao Xuechen coming in, he didn't speak, and there was no scolding as he imagined.

The old man is actually not old, he is in his thirties and forties, and as for why he is called an old man, it is entirely because he is becoming more and more rigid and pedantic. often get angry for some small things like Shao Xuechen, a new generation of young people think, scolding constantly, and saying everything very seriously, as if this thing will make the sky fall, but in fact, this is really just some trivial things, such as peeking at girls taking a bath, such as skipping class to go out to play, such as desertion in class, etc., even the little princess Lin Yunzhu was scolded and cried by him several times.

"Master, I'm back. Shao Xue said worriedly.

"Hmm. Lin Xiaoyun was surprisingly calm, but the more this happened, the more uneasy Shao Xuejian's heart became, "Your room, go and have a look, it hasn't changed." When you get to the return point, just come out to eat. ”

Something is wrong with this, the old man has changed sex? It's weird. He scratched his head and pushed open the door to the room, and the old man was right, nothing had changed. His hand brushed over the desk, and there was not a trace of floating dust on it, which was obviously cleaned by someone on a regular basis. He subconsciously thought that Lin Yunzhu did it, but Lin Yunzhu told him that the key to his room had always been on the old man's body.

After dinner, Shao Xuechen sat on the windowsill and looked at the sky gradually turning from dark blue to dark. He doesn't wash dishes, these jobs are all handed over to Lin Yunzhu's little princess to do, it's hard to imagine that the little princess will do this kind of work of washing dishes.

Shao Xuechen turned over and jumped off the windowsill, relying on the memory of eight years ago to walk through a much unfamiliar path to the teaching building.

He went up the round staircase to the top floor. Further up is the rooftop. The last stretch of the road to the rooftop was a bit eerie, with a lot of debris and discarded items, some broken benches and wooden tables, and some scrap paper and dust. This is very crowded for the already narrow corridor, and there is little gap to land. He still remembered that he had picked up a small yellow book here, and after reading it by moonlight on the rooftop, he said disdainfully, "It's not very good taste." ”

The road to the rooftop is blocked by an iron gate with a sign that reads, "No access to the rooftop." It is forbidden for the disciples of the Academy Palace to come up here. But Shao Xuechen is a child with a strong rebellious mentality who you don't want him to do, he wants to do it. He stepped over those obstacles and jumped, he was skillful, his movements as light as a mouse foraging for food at night. Outside the iron gate, the dappled starlight dots the night.

He discovered it by accident. Starlight is very beautiful, and this is an excellent stargazing platform, so he is very "shameless" to divide the rooftop belonging to the school palace as his territory, anyway, no one will come up.

He slipped through the iron gate and ran to the rooftop, and at this moment, he felt something, and enjoyed the summer breeze with open arms. He's absolutely free here, because nobody is here, and he can do whatever he likes here. In the starlight, he took a deep breath and looked out at the lights below and in the direction of his distant home.

There are many smells here, sometimes the scent of spring flowers, sometimes the snow and summer catkins. There is no smell of those hungry foods in the school palace, which is a very unpleasant point for him, and the other colleges have shops, but his own school palace does not have one. He often had an itchy nose and sneezed from the catkins of the summer, and when he returned home, he saw that his nose was red and swollen like the fake nose worn by the Sith Vaudeville Clown, and he later learned that he was allergic to catkins. Therefore, when he comes to the rooftop in the summer, he always covers himself with a cloth.

He sat on the edge of the rooftop, his legs hanging down to the ground and swaying slightly with the airflow. The starlight scattered on his body made him look more holy. The surface of the river that surrounded the school palace shimmered like a jewel. The wind ruffled his clothes and black hair, and the hunt rattled. The light flow in the huge school palace is surging, like a firefly in summer, flashing its own faint light. But fireflies are free, they can fly freely in the boundless night sky, there are no borders, they can fly as high as they want, they can fly as far as they want, until they are tired and don't want to fly. And the "fireflies" in the school palace are blocked by a thick high wall, restricting their movements.

I live for hatred, he thought, but now that hatred is gone, what should I live for now? Struggle, do I seek the true meaning of this world? What should I aim for now?

For the first time, he felt uncertain about his future. He wondered what his future was, and he didn't notice that someone was sitting next to him.

"The Tiantai doesn't allow the disciples of the Academy Palace to come up, you have committed a foul. Lin Yunzhu looked at the surprised Shao Xuechen, "I already know your secret, since you came to the school palace, you like to stay on the rooftop alone, sitting for hours, I don't know what your mind is thinking, you always show a confused look." It's not a good sign that a child always looks confused. ”

"I don't know how to live right now. Shao Xuechen reached out and grabbed a leaf that was blown in front of him by the wind, "Before this, what supported me was hatred. ”

"Do you want to be like the leaves in your hand? ”

Shao Xuechen shook his head, this is impossible for him, the idea that he has been instilled by the old man since he was a child, he must work hard to climb up no matter where he is, and he must take everything into his own hands. Therefore, he is as strong as the old man, and no matter what the occasion, the sharp water chestnut will always emerge like a sword. That's why he doesn't have many friends, he's so dazzling that no one wants to live in his light like a shadow.

"I knew you wouldn't accept this kind of life. Lin Yunzhu understands Shao Xuejian, just like Shao Xuechen understands her, the two of them can know what the other party is thinking only through their pupils.

"Do you know why this world has set up a school palace??" Lin Yunzhu asked suddenly.

"To protect humanity. Shao Xuechen replied quickly. This answer is not too simple, from the first day of entering the Academy Palace, everyone has been instilled with the idea of protecting mankind and protecting the continent. Slogans like this can be seen everywhere in the school palace, and even people with poor memory will have a headache because they see this kind of slogan every day.

"Yes. Lin Yunzhu nodded, "The life of a magician is inseparable from ordinary people, all the food and clothing are obtained from the hands of ordinary people, and ordinary people also need protection from magicians, and pay for protection at the cost of their lives." ”

"Exchange of interests. Shao Xuechen said.

"That's right. Lin Yunzhu said, "After thousands of years, protecting ordinary people and the mainland has become the only mission of magicians. As a magician, you have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders. She stood up and bent her head and looked at Shao Xuechen, "There is still a long way to go in life, don't always put on an expression of "I have already seen through life, I am so confused". There are many beautiful things in this world that you have not experienced. ”

At night between spring and summer, the stars are scattered in all corners of the world, and the rooftop is exceptionally quiet. The two men were so close to each other that they could see each other's pupils twitching slightly.

Shao Xuejin's body froze, at this moment, only one heart was still beating, extremely active, and it was about to jump out of his chest in the next second. The insects in the distance became extremely faint and gradually disappeared at this moment, the speed of the starlight flow accelerated, the clouds fluttered in the night sky to cover the half of the white moon, and the leaves blown by the wind stayed in mid-air. There was silence for a moment. At this moment, he seemed to be able to feel the slightest changes in everything, the cells of the trees were dividing and growing rapidly, and the veins of the grass contained energy sent to the whole body...... Time is still passing, but the gaze of this moment is like an eternity.

"Okay, okay, I know, I haven't found a girlfriend yet, of course I won't see through life. But Senior Sister, you have to find a boyfriend quickly, otherwise what should you do if you can't marry in the future?" Shao Xuejian's face flushed, he turned his head, and said some nonsensical words to cover it up, but he was thinking in his heart, he had never been so close, and he had never found that Senior Sister was so good-looking.

"You don't have to worry about that. Lin Yunzhu is not much better than Shao Xuejian, but she still has to maintain her image as a senior sister, pretending to be calm and saying, "What kind of boyfriend and girlfriend, let's think about how I should shoulder the responsibility on my shoulders." ”

Lin Yunzhu still couldn't pretend anymore, so he dropped this sentence in a hurry and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

"What are you still doing up there, staying overnight?" Lin Yunzhu had already arrived at the open space in front of the teaching building, and her voice reached his ears through the air vibration, "If you go back too late, you will be scolded by the old man." ”

The wind was still flowing, caressing his face like water.

Shao Xuechen stood up, covering his face with cold hands, suppressing the heat. He likes to look down on the world from above, which gives him a feeling of Top Gun.

Leave everything to the old man, he will solve all the problems for me, Shao Xuechen thought.
