Chapter 3: Living Dreams
"You know, what I hate about you the most?"
Li Ruonan was stunned, and carefully smoothed the somewhat wrinkled sleeve robe very neatly for Chu Yang, his long eyelashes blinked like a fan, and his watery autumn eyes stared at Chu Yang's slightly green and delicate face, and rarely said seriously.
"What?"
This time, Chu Yang was stunned, his mouth opened, and he pursed the corners of his mouth, thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't think of an answer.
"Too shrewd......"
Li Ruonan finished speaking lightly, shrugged his delicate shoulders, and walked towards the center of the martial arts arena.
"Tap ......"
As if realizing something, Chu Yang frowned slightly, wanting to persuade something, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into the three words "tap".
"I'll give them a breath......"
Li Ruonan smiled, but there was a touch of coldness in that smile.
"Alas......"
Chu Yang sighed, rubbed his nose a little helplessly, his eyes drooped slightly, as if he didn't want to see the bloody scene next, shook his head, and slowly walked out of the martial arts arena.
Chu Yang did not go far, but came to a pavilion, under this pavilion there is a mirror heart lake, this lake is also known as the lake, the bottom of the lake is immersed in a lot of blades, these blades exude spirituality, so that this lake is full of aura, the glow is rising, there are thousands of miles of koi in the lake, Chu Yang took a handful of fish food and sprinkled it towards the lake, and suddenly the lake was flooded with layers of red carp, like a cascading red carpet, very spectacular.
After a while, Li Ruonan chased after him, patted his white little hands, leaned on the carved wooden wood, looked at the magnificent scene in the lake, and the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of coldness, and said: "After so many years of fighting, these guys dare to say bad things about you in private, warning them so many times that they have turned a deaf ear, it seems that they must take the time to train them well." “
Yanxia Villa, the village is divided into two surnames, Li is the surname of the relatives, and Chu is the surname of the relatives, it stands to reason that the position of the owner of the village should be inherited by the relatives of the lineage, but because of the decline of Yanxia Villa over the years, no one among the relatives can carry the beams in the village, and ten years ago, because of Chu Yang's father Chu Bufan, in the decline of the Yanxia Villa to turn the tide, so when the old owner died, he made an exception to pass the position of the owner of Yanxia Villa to the hands of his relatives Chu Bufan.
Chu Yang was silent for a while, the hair in his ears was flirtatious by the wind, he turned his head, his dark eyes stared at Li Ruonan's very attractive little face, he had been staring at it for a long time, he frowned, and muttered almost like a whisper: "Sister Ruonan, in fact, no matter how you fight, they will still talk about me in private, because what they say is the truth!"
Chu Yang sighed, the breeze was blowing, he put his hands behind his back, looked at the sparkling lake in front of him, his eyes were leisurely, as if he had fallen into some memory, and said with self-deprecation: "Five years ago, they called me a monster, five years later they called me an idiot, what they said is not wrong, who in our Yan Kingdom does not know that our Yanxia Villa, there is such an idiot young owner as me who has become famous?"
Five years ago, at the Xuanting meeting, the young man in white, carrying a broken sword, stepped on the body of his peers like a comet, and on the martial arts platform that attracted the attention of thousands of people, the young man kicked him out of the ring, and since then he has fallen into the title of "one foot young owner".
Originally, the people in the village secretly called Chu Yang a monster, but now this monster they hated did such a shameful thing, no wonder those disciples in the village chewed their tongues in private, laughed and scolded him, after all, no one wants the young owner of their own family to be kicked down in front of everyone so shameful and useless, right?
She remembered that the young man was kicked out of the ring five years ago, like a free and easy girl, her nose couldn't help but be slightly sour, she remembered that the people of the entire Horn of Heaven were all there at that time, she remembered that the royal families of the sixteen countries were watching, and she remembered that after the boy was kicked off the ring, he listened to the ridicule around him with a dirty face, and the blank and helpless look......
She also remembered that the boy slowly got up from the ground in that sneer, and at the age of eleven, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and under the gaze of the laughing and playful eyes around him, he stubbornly straightened up, and said in a slightly childish voice: "I can lose, but I can't surrender without a fight!"
The boy's persistence attracted the ignorant people in the most remote region of the Heavenly Horn, and they bent down one by one with laughter, what do you mean by "Surrender without a fight?! Is it chivalrous and courageous to do it knowing that you can't do it?" "Who is the boy's opponent?" It is recognized that the Heavenly Horn has been talented and handsome for a hundred years!
At the age of three, he read through the essence of the Qingxuan Treasure Jian's Spiritual Wisdom Chapter, and he had to consolidate the book by himself! At the age of five, he began to recognize the weapon and obtained the weight of the elders in the sect! At the age of seven, he knew all the hundred sword books! At the age of nine, he entered the realm of imperial qi! At the age of eleven, he knew the Hundred Classics at the Xuanting Society that year, and he swept away a hundred heroes by himself, and the entire young man who participated in the Xuanting Society was shocked and inexplicable before the sword was unsheathed.
Five years ago, because the young man's previous performance was too amazing, so that in the later competition link, many children of the forces were afraid of his strength and did not dare to be the enemy and chose to surrender without a fight, and Chu Yang, who was only eleven years old at the time, was the only one who did not flinch when he won the lottery and competed with him, Chu Yang at that time looked childish, tied a willful pigtail, and walked into the ring so naturally and casually under the strange gaze. And later...... He was kicked out of the ring by a teenager.
When he was kicked out of the ring, he was very calm, looking at the young man who was called a myth, and at the playful eyes around him, he said very seriously: "My father told me since I was a child that it is a coward to lose without a fight! He said that if you want to be a big husband, if you want to be a hero, you should learn to move forward, and when others are afraid to retreat, I stand up and take a step, and then I will take a step away from them." “
"When they are afraid, I take another step to stand up and throw them off again, and so on step by step, when I stand up more and get used to facing difficulties, I become fearless, and those who are afraid to retreat when I take the first step will one day only look up to my back. “
"My father said that failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that people who don't even dare to face failure, no one in this world can succeed forever, shake the dust and get up again after one failure, shake the dust and get up again after two failures, shake the dust and get up again after three failures, when you fail a lot, you will succeed after all. "I trust my father, I don't want to be a big man, I'm just not used to holding back...... If five years from now, I'm still alive, I'll come to the Xuanting meeting and kick this back. ”
The words of the young man in the past are still vaguely lingering in his ears, but now the past five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and in a few months, it will be the Xuanting Meeting once every five years, and the character known as the myth of the Yan Kingdom has long since not known what kind of profound realm he has reached, but because of Chu Yang's innate sword disease, the tools in his body are blocked by the twenty-four sword souls and cannot control the qi, but his strength is still solid Seven Heavens.
And as the sword soul in his weapon becomes more and more powerful, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be broken by the twenty-four sword souls, tearing his body, and with the grievance of five years ago, he will die young and die long.
"According to ancient records, the sword soul in your body can no longer be suppressed in less than a month, right?" Li Ruonan looked at the starry sky a little confused, and his handsome side face like a knife revealed a trace of bright sadness.
"There is still a long time in January, thirty days, and if you are lucky, maybe thirty-one days, and you don't need to be sad so early. Chu Yang shrugged his shoulders, rubbed Li Ruonan's soft short hair, and comforted softly. He didn't seem to care about the impending death, or he had already seen through everything after being accustomed to despair over the years, but the only thing that he couldn't let go of was that his childish vow five years ago seemed to have no chance to be fulfilled, not that he was cowardly, but that he didn't have time, and from the moment he was born, it seemed difficult for him to live.
Gently glancing at Chu Yang's delicate face, a wicked smile bloomed at the corner of Li Ruonan's mouth, and the palm that Chu Yang put on his hair was slammed off, Li Ruonan rolled his eyes, and said viciously: "Boy, you think about it too much! If you die, the old lady will have a chance to fight for the position of the young owner, and the old lady will be too late to be happy, will she be sad?" Although she was stubborn, the sorrow between Li Ruonan's eyebrows exposed her heart.
"If the male sister doesn't have to worry, my father worships the ancestors this time, and goes to get the Tianxuan Treasure Book for me, this Tianxuan Treasure Book is our ancestor who created his own sword duel, which once made our Yanxia Villa prosperous for a while, although the knife duel is missing now, but it is still possible to help me break through the aperture and seal the sword soul. Chu Yang couldn't help but comfort when he saw the sorrow between Li Ruonan's eyebrows.
"Actually, Xiaoyangzi, if it weren't for the fact that I was too arrogant five years ago, thinking that I was very strong, I asked you to stand behind me and say that I wanted to protect you, but in the end I didn't protect you...... You won't be kicked out of the ring and endure humiliation and grievances for five years......" Li Ruonan, who seemed to be free and easy, remembered the past, and couldn't help but sigh, and said with self-blame.
"If it weren't for you, if I couldn't even enter the second round of the Xuanting Society, then others would still laugh at me, as the young owner of Yanxia Villa, I couldn't even compete in the first round, I'm afraid that many people will scold me for being a waste, right? Chu Yang smiled, grinning and revealing a row of white teeth.
Suddenly, Chu Yang's complexion changed, two golden knives appeared in his eyes, the two golden knives turned quickly, the knife heart in his body seemed to have captured something, his complexion changed suddenly, and the next moment he saw a golden light stabbing towards the pavilion he was in, Chu Yang's pupils contracted violently, he took a step back, and the knife heart in his body rotated rapidly.
He let the knife heart control the blades in the lake, and for a while, the mirror heart lake, which had finally quieted down, surged, and one after another weapons surfaced from the bottom of the lake and stabbed towards the golden light, and in an instant, fifteen knives and swords burst out together, and with a "......bang", the more than ten blades were shattered by the golden light.
A gleam flashed in Li Ruonan's eyes, and he was about to make a move, but was stopped by Chu Yang, "It's my father who is back, and he is testing me to see if I've been lazy recently." ”
While Chu Yang was speaking, the golden knife turned into a golden copper pigeon, the pigeon flew to Chu Yang's shoulder, shook off the bamboo tube on his legs, and turned into a knife in a blink of an eye, and flew back, a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face in a practice room, sitting cross-legged, the golden knife turned into a palm-sized knife, which melted into his eyebrows and disappeared.
The knife is a tool mark, when the cultivator reaches a certain realm, he can establish a connection with his own weapon, condense the weapon mark, as for the white dove just now is the instrument of the instrument mark, the tool mark can be transformed into any bird form according to the knife method cultivated by the cultivator, for example, some cultivators' practice contains a strong meaning, and the weapon mark can be turned into a tiger, a leopard and other fierce beasts to assist in attacking, such as Chu Bufan's practice method is more flexible, so his tool marks can be turned into white pigeons, butterflies for easy eavesdropping, etc......
Under normal circumstances, the higher the strength of the cultivator, the farther the shape of the artifact mark can fly, and some powerful cultivators can fly thousands of miles in a thought.
