Volume 1 The Scholar and the Sword Chapter 1 The Bloody Nature of Youth

Next Chapter

The eastern part of Dongbao Shenzhou is the country of Li, known as Dongyi, and the northeastern part of the country is Yunzhou, the border of mortal dust.

Miaoshan Village is a small village in Yunzhou, with a population of no more than 100 people.

The village is close to the foot of Miaoshan Mountain, and there are dozens of miles away from the nearest county seat, even the officials in the city are reluctant to run here.

This has made the people in the village less harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the climate in Yunzhou is suitable, the land is fertile, and the people in the village work hard, and they can live and work in peace and contentment.

At this time, there were a few men, chatting around the ridge after the farm was busy.

"Hey, have you heard, Mr. Qin is gone in the east of the village!"

"What! How can a good person be gone? ”

"I heard that I was at home during the day when a thief broke into the house. His house was a little far from the village, and the gang of thieves killed his family, leaving Ah Zi to play alone on the Nantou ridge, so he escaped from the gang's poisonous hands. ”

"Alas, this damned thief! Mr. Qin is such a good person, he is highly educated, has a good temper, and is generous......"

"Who's to say it isn't!"

"Alas, what a person, what a pity."

"Hey, have you heard, Mr. Qin's Ah Zi, it seems that something is wrong here." A man suddenly pointed to his head and whispered.

"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard that the kid doesn't seem to say a word after that happened." Another man chimed in.

"I heard that the child seemed to have lived with his father and mother for three whole days, and it stinked, and he waited until their relatives came before burying it."

"And this?"

"No, a lot of people smelled that smell at the time."

"Oh, this baby is really pitiful, this happened to him at a young age."

……

At the same time, in front of the two tombs on the slope of the temple mountain, two people, one big and one small, were standing.

The younger one was only in his teens, with a delicate face, pale skin and a slightly sickly appearance, wearing a gray-white linen coat and a strip of white cloth around his head, which should be regarded as filial piety clothes.

The boy had a calm expression on his face, but his eyes were red, and his eyes looked at the two graves in front of him in a daze.

The one next to the boy was a young woman, who looked like a celestial person.

Looking at the face is only in his early twenties, but there is a sense of maturity when he looks closely, and he has both the charm of a mature woman and the vitality of a young woman in the same person.

The woman was dressed in a cyan robe and a black belt, highlighting her amazing figure, and the mountains and rivers were undulating, far more than the small dirt-like temple mountain.

But even so, it does not arouse the distractions of others, and she stands there like a character in a painting, which seems out of place with the slightly dirty mountain village environment around her.

At this point, the boy seemed to feel something, and turned to look at the village behind him.

"Azi, what's wrong?"

The boy named Qin Zi turned his head sideways, glanced at her, and without saying a word, turned back again.

When the woman saw the boy's expression, she thought of her deceased sister and brother-in-law, and her heart felt a pang.

Different from the "truth" mentioned by the villagers, the woman arrived on the day of the accident of her brother-in-law's family, but later kept filial piety for the husband and wife for three days, and was not officially buried until today.

And as the only recognized relative of her brother-in-law's family, she herself is actually a mountain monk.

As soon as her brother-in-law's family had an accident that day, she sensed it, and set off from the sect at that time, but when she arrived, it was still a step late, and her sister and brother-in-law had been killed, leaving only her nephew alive.

She naturally heard the rumors spread by those villagers just now, but now she really doesn't have the heart to worry about those villagers, and she has already made up her mind that no matter what Ah Zi's qualifications are, she will take them up the mountain.

The two of them didn't say a word, watching the tongue of fire slowly lick the golden paper money, and finally turn into ashes.

Then the two kowtowed a few times in front of the grave, and then Ning Muxue left with Qin Zi.

……

As an orthodox sword cultivator, although Ning Muxue is good at retreating, she is really not good at leading people, especially a mortal, so she simply used her own flying magic weapon.

I saw her take out a paper boat from her bag and throw it into the air to become a small boat.

The boat looked ordinary, but Qin Zi could see a streamer flashing on it, mysterious and abnormal.

Ning Muxue pulled Qin Zi onto the boat, and then the boat turned into a streamer and flew into the distance.

During the whole process, Qin Zi still didn't say a word, and as soon as he came up, he walked to the corner of the boat and sat down.

Ning Muxue felt a little bitter and helpless in her heart, so for the sake of his body, she cast a spell to make him fall asleep.

This "Tranquilizer" can not only help him sleep, but more importantly, calm his mind and make him not overly sad.

In the dream, Qin Zi saw in a trance what happened three days ago.

……

Three days ago

The boy trembled and climbed up the ridge from the field, quickly wiped away his tears, and then burrowed into the mountain.

The farmland where Qin Zi is located is in the south of the village, not far from Miaoshan, and their home is at the foot of the east end of the village.

Qin Zi made a big circle in the mountains, just enough to avoid the people in the village and return to his home.

However, when he walked along the mountain road and could see his yard in the distance, he gradually slowed down, and he was afraid.

At this time, he had vaguely guessed what was happening in the house, and he wanted to go back, but he didn't dare.

The boy sat down against a big tree, with his back to his yard, his hands tightly covered his mouth, and he couldn't stop shaking, and tears couldn't help but seep out.

Faintly, he could still hear his father's screaming and scolding, as well as his mother's cries, which made his emotions more intense.

It was only after a moment that he stopped his tears, and although he still trembled uncontrollably, he did not make any more sounds, and even dared to breathe only to the smallest extent.

The door of the house was opened, and then the yard came.

A group of people quickly emerged from the house, their movements in an orderly manner, and their energy was neat, not at all like ordinary thieves.

It's just that when they completely withdrew from the yard, they obviously relaxed a lot.

One of the thieves did not forget to complain to the person at the front:

"Boss, I was going to play with that girl just now, why did you stop me from making a move? They're not big shots. ”

Others, although they didn't say it, were mostly similar thoughts.

They have done a lot of this kind of murderous work, and it is not the first time that they have done this kind of thing to insult their female dependents, this time this woman is much more beautiful than those vulgar fans in the past, and this man is actually a practitioner, and several brothers were accidentally injured for a while, which made these thieves very depressed, and they all wanted to make his wife angry, but I didn't expect the boss to let him.

The thief at the front glanced at him coldly, took out a jade plaque that had been broken in half, and then sneered:

"Hmph, third child, do you think that if I didn't stop you just now, you would still have your life? Even if you can escape for a while, this family is not simple, and there is likely to be a mountain background behind it! ”

You must know that in this world where immortals exist, if they leave some traces, it is not too simple to be found.

The other thieves obviously knew the miracle of the jade plate, and they all gasped, only feeling that they had just walked before the ghost gate was closed.

"Besides, this trip is such a big business, and the money you make is not enough to play with women? When the time comes, when you go to the city, don't you want to play with what kind of women? Do you have to trade your life now? ”

When the other thieves heard the words of the thief leader, they burst into laughter.

And not far away, Qin Zi, who was hiding behind a tree and eavesdropping on them, burst into tears at some point......

The thief leader waited for them to finish laughing, and motioned to a few people to be quiet, although this place is a little far from the village, but it is inevitable that someone will pass by, in case someone sees their faces, it is not good, those immortals' methods are not for fun.

After a moment of contemplation, the thief decided to let everyone go back separately.

This neighborhood is mountainous, and it is impossible for several people to be spotted when they move separately, and even if they are discovered, they can pretend to be passers-by.

A few of them obviously did this kind of thing often, and after a while they divided into groups and burrowed into the dense woods.

Qin Zi stood up and quietly followed behind the two of them, it was the third and the eldest who spoke first!

He didn't really know what he was going to do, his mind was chaotic, but at the same time there was a strange calmness.

In anger, he stopped trembling, wiped away the tears on his face, and touched the direction the two left little by little.

He has been weak since he was a child, and he practiced health preservation with his father, but now he seems to be thin and weak, and his physical strength is not bad, and he is barely able to compare with ordinary adult men.

What's more, at this time, there was a anger in his heart, constantly urging him forward, not only hatred for the enemy, but also an anger that almost consumed his reason.

In order to catch up with those thieves in advance, he specially took a shortcut.

These people are far less familiar with the temple mountain than him, they all follow the mountain, Qin Zi has liked to play on the mountain since he was a child, and he has long regarded it as his own backyard, and he used his hands and feet to go up the mountain from the steep slope to copy their shortcuts.

On the way, he fell and almost rolled down the slope and was injured, but he didn't care, and quickly hid behind the bushes on the side of the road.

The boy crouched on the ground, clutching his short sword for self-defense, waiting for the arrival of the two thieves.

If nothing else, the skills of those two should be very good, and they are definitely not something that a little kid like himself can deal with, let alone ......

He looked at the short sword in his hand, this was not a magic weapon, it was not even sharp enough, it was completely given to him by his father to play.

The more he faced the crisis situation, the more calm Qin Zi's heart became, his bloody nature, his blood was waiting for an opportunity, a chance to break out.

The boy closed his eyes and began to meditate.

In the dark, he seemed to have come to a mysterious place, and all kinds of strange pictures were in front of him.

He recalled the Guan butcher he had seen in the town, and his father had the style of swordsmanship and cattle.

The short sword in his hand naturally doesn't have much power, but what if it is a weakness such as a neck?

The young man thought so, looking at the bizarre picture in front of him, recalling the exquisite knife skills of the Guan butcher, waiting for his enemy to appear, waving the short sword in his hand, and becoming more and more skillful......

Finally, he opened his eyes!

……

When he woke up, he had already arrived at Aunt Ning's sect, the Falling Sword Sect.

The Luojian Sect is located in Luojian Mountain, Luojian Mountain is a mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles, among which there are thirty-six large peaks, and there are countless other large and small peaks.

Among the thirty-six large peaks, three are the largest of them, and they are thousands of zhang.

This mountain is a famous mountain even in the territory of Dongbao Divine Prefecture, located in the easternmost part of Dongbao Divine Continent, which has long exceeded the boundary of the Mortal Dust Dynasty, and is where the real immortal family is.

However, because of the special nature of the Luojian Sect itself, most of the Luojian Mountain is open to mortal dust, Qin Zi once heard his father talk about this mountain, and also memorized many poems of celebrities.

……

Aunt Ning took him to a hut on a mountain and put him down, seeing that his expression was still a little confused, as if the influence of "Tranquilizer" had not disappeared, she put down two books, and left first after a few words.

Qin Zi rolled out of bed with difficulty, picked up two books, and staggered towards the door.

……

This mountain is not particularly high, but it is very delicate, and the scenery is much better than the temple mountain that I often go to when I was a child.

At this time, he didn't know that this Luojian Mountain was the place where the sect was based, and several top monks had arranged an incomparably huge spirit gathering array with great mana, and the spiritual energy inside the mountain gate was several times richer than that of the outside world.

With such a rich aura of heaven and earth, it naturally has the function of turning decay into magic, not to mention cultivation, it can get twice the result with half the effort, and the scenery alone can also add to its style.

Soon Qin Zi came to the top of the peak, found a stone and sat down, and looked around at Aunt Ning's sect.

Qin Zi identified one by one according to one of the sect introductions, and learned that Aunt Ning's sect was called the Luojian Sect, and it was built on this Luojian Mountain.

The highest peak of Luojian Mountain is Qingyunding, according to legend, the founder of Luojian Sect traveled to this place, watched the sunset in Qingyunding, put down the sword in his hand, and went further, but since then he has never really picked up his own sword, but he has become the first person recognized as a kendo at that time.

This is where Luojian Mountain got its name.

Later, he founded a sect here and became the founding patriarch of the Luojian Sect.

It is said that the sword of the founding patriarch is still placed on the top of Qingyun.

Nowadays, Qingyunding has become a forbidden place for the Falling Sword Sect, and no one is allowed to enter.

Moreover, all the buildings of the Luojian Sect cannot be built on the top of the mountain, they must be much shorter, in order to warn the people to have a heart of awe.

Qin Zi sat on the big stone and looked at it for a while, and found information about the mountain under his feet.

This mountain is called Zhong Xiufeng, and it is only said that it belongs to the outer gate elder Ning Muxue's lineage, and there are other people, what is special about this lineage, this kind of information can not be found anywhere, I think this book should only be for outsiders to see, and there are other ways for the disciples in the door to understand.

After flipping through for a while, and having a general understanding of the situation of the sect, Qin Zi put aside this introduction to the sect and replaced it with another book of "Guiding Qi Decision".

This is the first immortal classic in his life, according to Aunt Ning, this is almost the lowest level of the classic, very basic, some Taoist monks are using it, but he is still a little excited in his heart.

He closed his eyes and remembered the death of his parents, the funeral he had seen in the village, and the day......

As his faith gradually strengthened, he opened his eyes and officially decided to embark on the path of cultivation.

When he opened the book, this time he didn't read it as carefully as the previous one, but skimmed through it very quickly, not trying the methods recorded in the book at all, as if he was only going to read every word in the book.

After a while, he had already finished reading a copy of "Guiding Qi Decision".

Generally speaking, this kind of reading would not give any useful information, but Qin Zi did not intend to read it again.

The boy put both books aside, sat cross-legged on the stone, turned his heart to the sky, gathered his mind, closed his eyes and tried to meditate.

This series of operations seemed familiar to him, and he quickly calmed down his fluctuating mind, and Jingjing succeeded.

At this point, it was pitch black in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see anything.

However, the boy's senses have a strange acuity, obviously he can't see anything, but he seems to be able to "see" everything.

Then, part of his consciousness began to rise gradually, as if the whole person was flying upward, but at the same time he could feel that he was sitting in place.

It's a wonderful feeling, it's like a person splitting into two halves, one sitting in place and the other ascending.

Qin Zi maintained such a strange state, and after a while, he suddenly "saw" a light coming from front of him, and it was actually the half-consciousness of the flying ascension that came to a very strange world.

The world is filled with all kinds of objects of different colors, even more strange shapes, and at the same time constantly emitting light.

It looks like something is coming together, forming a series of seemingly weird, carefully studied and very harmonious "something".

However, there was a grayish-white mist between him and the light.

He could feel that there was a wider world and an incomparably abundant "light" on the other side of the gray mist, but whenever he wanted to reach out and touch the mist, the fog that was so close in front of him seemed that it was far away, and no matter how long he walked, he couldn't reach it.

He was already familiar with all this, and he didn't spend much time on the gray mist, and directly set his eyes on the point of light around him that was not shrouded in fog.

It's not right to say it's a point of light.

At first glance, those lights seem to be little by little, but when you look closely, they seem to be incomparably large.

In other words, if other people could come here, they might only see countless points of light, but in Qin Zi's eyes, he could see that those points of light were actually some very large and strangely colored lights, very similar to the scene outside the gray mist.

The boy carefully checked the number of photoelectric lights, and as expected, there were many more points of light at this time than when he came here a few days ago.

He reached out and touched one of them, channeling his mind into it as he could.

Suddenly, a mysterious feeling came into his mind, and he instantly knew what this "point of light" represented-

"Tranquilizer"
