When the sunset is in the sky, the western sky is dyed red, and the clouds and mist want to cover it, but the glow is even worse, and the blood-stained light is reflected in the river at the foot of the mountain.

The cottages by the river are isolated, the river is leisurely, and the willows are drooping. The wooden bridge crosses, and there is a person on the bridge wearing a hat sitting quietly, only to see him holding a bamboo pole in front of him, silently staring at the water motionless.

Suddenly, I heard the birds on the branches flying in shock, but I heard more than a dozen horses' hooves behind me, and it can be seen that on each horse, there is a man dressed in black and holding a big knife in his hand, so vicious.

"Stop!"

"Hey, do you know where Takemura is going?" In the crowd, the leader on a red horse stepped forward and scolded: "Fisherman, what about you, are you deaf?" ”

"Be careful!" There was humanity in the center of the crowd.

When the angler heard this, he turned his head and flicked his head slightly, reached out and took the jug from the spear that was inserted next to him, took a sip, and then continued to stare at the head of the rod to himself.

After a false alarm, seeing the arrogance of the angler, the leader was furious, drew his sword and rushed forward, shouting: "Look for death, and I will give you a ride!" ”

"What's the matter with going to Bamboo Village?" The angler finally spoke, but he didn't answer.

"I'll wait for you, you are not qualified to interrogate!" The leader dismounted and stepped forward, and said angrily, "Speak quickly, or I will slaughter you and feed the fish in the river!" ”

The man didn't say a word, just pointed casually, and everyone looked around, only to see a stone tablet standing next to the willow tree, on which were written the four big characters "Death to the intruder".

"Look for death!" When the leader saw this, he was furious and ordered the people: "Kill, kill him!" ”

When everyone heard this, they dismounted and raised their swords together.

Suddenly, I heard the breeze blowing, and the willow branches fluttering in the wind.

At sunset, the sky was full of red glow, and the angler did not know when he got up, and no one could see when he picked up the spear, but the cold light flashed, and several people in the front row fell in response.

The horse ran away, and before he could react, the man jumped in the air again, and the spear went straight away, and where he passed, the head fell to the ground, and the blood was dripping but it was shining with the red glow of the western sky, which was very terrifying.

The wind stops, the gun stops.

Under the willow branches, anglers take off their hats, and the air is eerily still.

If someone is there at this time, you can see that this person's face is pale, probably because of the perennial drinking, and he is obviously a little thin.

The green silk was draped, the willow leaves fell slowly, floating on the silver spear, he blew lightly, then looked up at the east, and muttered: "Nineteen years, are you still here?" ”

"Yes, Xiao Gongzi has also been here for nineteen years!"

Hearing this, the angler who was called Xiao Gongzi turned around, clasped his fists, and asked respectfully: "Patriarch, it's been a long time since I see you, I ...... Will I be able to meet Cher? ”

"Actually, Xue Yan has never been here, my clan has had big things to do in the past nineteen years, so she has hidden the village and escaped the world." The village chief, plain clothes and white hair, walked gently from the bridge, and said slowly: "Let's go, I have something to look for you, Xiao Gongzi has been waiting at the entrance of this village for nineteen years, it's time to go in and have a look." ”

The patriarch said lightly, but Xiao Mu was shocked: "This ......"

Xiao Mu knew that although this bamboo village was not big, although it was on the other side of the bridge, he had never entered it later, and he also knew that even if he wanted to, he would not be able to enter.

Bamboo Village blood rules, the intruder is dead, and outsiders are not allowed to approach, let alone enter.

Since he came here nineteen years ago, he has been guarding the entrance of this village for the whole nineteen years, fishing and practicing marksmanship in his spare time, killing and killing people when he is busy, and he Xiao Mu is already the first guardian of this bamboo village.

Over the years, there have been many criminals, but no one has ever returned alive, and the name of the Great Enlightenment Spear God is by no means in vain.

Following the footsteps of the patriarch, Xiao Mu stepped on the small bridge, and the scenes of the past seemed to come into view again.

Looking back, it was more than 20 years ago.

Xiao Mu sighed softly, a silver light flashed in front of him, and Takemura appeared in front of him again.

The village is still there, Liu is still there, and she is not there.

After staying for a few days, Xiao Mu left Bamboo Village.

The night shadow is dark, the moonlight is swaying, and the river at the foot of the mountain is faintly glazed.

On the top of the mountain, Xiao Mu looked around, and the Lijiang River went around the city, bending in the north and turning south, and bending to the east.

On the bank of the river is Changling City, which is not big, but it is located in the southernmost border of Daqi and borders Yunkang Kingdom.

It is reported that the people of Daqi and Yunkang in the city are in the same city, and they have coexisted in harmony for decades, which is a rare color of harmony.

The morning light disturbed the birds in the forest, the Confucian crown was dressed in white clothes, the spring breeze was ten miles, the river was blowing, Xiao Muxiu's hair was fluttering, although the year of standing had passed, but he was handsome, how could he be full of chivalry.

As soon as the city gate opened, Xiao Mu stepped on the bridge, his eyebrows opened and closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his steps were gentle, so that he was dressed in ten thousand styles.

"Dare to ask, where is Changling Academy going?"

Hearing that Confucianism has been very important in Changling City in recent years, and the etiquette has been several weeks, Xiao Mu hurriedly made a move.

The city protector stood tall and majestic, and he didn't say much, but said: "Can you bring the child's household post?" ”

"Bring it, please see."

"Daqi Changling City Xiao Mu, you ...... Are you the second master? Is the second master going to Changling Academy? ”

Changling Academy was founded ten years ago, and the second master of the Zhang family heard that he had not come back for nineteen years, and the city guards knew that the second master Xiao might not know where the academy was located, so he pointed to the depths of the city.

The guard said: "The second master only needs to go all the way from the main street, and the academy is on the side of Nancheng." ”

After a few streets, there is an open space in the depths of the building, which seems to be a place for performance, and it is where Changling College is located through straight through.

handed over the post, and after a little while, he heard someone summons.

Xiao Mu followed the doorman in, the college was very large, passing through a few halls, and you could listen to the poems. A few more steps, you can see the sound of guns and swords.

Champs Pavilion, attic seat.

In the scripture pavilion, as the footsteps got closer and closer, the middle-aged scholar stopped writing the words in his hand.

Xiao Mu slowly approached, looked at the middle-aged scholar sitting at the desk fixedly, stopped when he approached a few steps, and looked at him quietly for a long time.

"Coming back?" The scholar raised his head and smiled slightly.

Xiao Mu looked up, and the middle-aged man opposite him was dressed in white, and his black hair was almost falling out of order, "It turned out to be you?" ”

The man turned his back, closed his eyes and whispered: "Xiao Mu, I haven't seen you for many years." Now that you're the God of the Great Enlightenment, it's not what it used to be! ”

"Why did you disappear back then?" Xiao Mu looked at each other coldly, and his anger was hard to dissipate.

"Xiao Mu, I know that you were very chilled back then, but I have a reason to go." The scholar's face was painful, and he almost tried to defend but gave up.

"Hmph, can you send me away with one sentence?" Xiao Mu snorted coldly, looked up to the sky and roared, "You are the same as him, you are cold-faced and cold-hearted!" ”

"Xiao Mu, Master, his old man also has difficulties, he can't leave Changling City for half a step, you don't know it!"

"Don't mention him to me, I don't have a master!" Xiao Mu was angry and continued to snort coldly, "That's it, I originally wanted to come and see the famous Changling Academy, but I didn't expect it to be founded by you, so I didn't mean anything else, just ......"

"Senior brother, since you have come back, you will settle here, how can your cultivation be wasted, why don't you teach the disciples in the academy, and it will not be in vain to waste your name as a spear god?" The scholar tried his best to persuade him.

"Forget it, I'm very irritated when I see you!"

"You think about it again......"

"No need, I am the atmospheric Queen of Heaven Army Xiao Mu, Ding should serve the country, since this Changling is not Qitu, it is a different way......"

Tonight, all ethnic groups in Changling held a banquet for Xiao Mu.

Although people came, Xiao Mu didn't pay attention to anyone, but drank by himself.

I don't know how long I drank, Xiao Mu obviously drank a little too much, and his eyes began to flash, not that he didn't drink well, but he was the one who drank the most.

It is said that if you don't get drunk, everyone will get drunk, after all, he hasn't been home for more than ten years, and now he is in his own home, and there is no longer any outside strife in his heart, and there is no more deceit.

At this time, he just wants to drink heavily, get drunk thoroughly, and don't have to worry about all kinds of things.

"Haha...... I think I Xiao Mu came out of Changling at the age of eighteen, walked in all directions of Qiguo, walked chivalrous and righteous for the heavens, and killed many villains and thieves with a spear, but I didn't expect that I would lose in the end......" Xiao Mu stood up, drank directly with the wine jug, and said hoarsely with a crying voice, "Big brother, why didn't you help me back then!" Why! ”

"Second brother, I ......" Xiao Ding was speechless when questioned, so he could only raise his wine glass and drink it all, and sat there with a heavy face without saying a word.

"Also, senior brother, my good senior brother, why did you disappear when I needed you the most, why!" Xiao Mu carried the wine jug, staggered over, and asked loudly, "You say, where have you been?" ”

"Senior brother, I really can't say anything about what happened back then...... The scholar's face was painful, and he sighed helplessly.

Xiao Ding got up at this time, snatched the wine jug in Xiao Mu's hand, drank it all and said, "Second brother, it's the eldest brother who is sorry for you!" ”

"Haha, I'm sorry, haha......" Xiao Mu laughed wildly, and then turned around with the wine jug and left directly.

When the wine was gone, it was nightfall, and the moonlight was dappled at this time.

That little bit of moonlight splashed the earth, soft and soft.

Xiao Mu stood on Changling Square with a spear in his hand, the spear stabbed the ground diagonally, and the moonlight stretched his figure.

I saw him jump up, fly three feet, and the spear broke through the air, changing rapidly in his hands.

A vividly changing marksmanship, Xiao Mu danced hard and sweated profusely.

He landed on the ground, spear stuck beside him, and sweat fell down his long hair.

He turned his back to the moon sky and said lightly: "What are you doing?" ”

"Senior brother, you haven't slept yet." On the silent street, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness not far away, only to hear the man smile slightly, "Senior brother, you are free, I will go around casually." ”

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Xiao Mu never looked back, and asked lightly.

"Well, I won't go around the bush with you." The man walked in and turned out to be a scholar, only to see him stop a few steps away from Xiao Mu and say, "Senior brother, do you really want to leave?" ”

"I advise you again, but you can go with me and be loyal to my emperor together!" Xiao Mu didn't answer the rhetorical question, and looked at the scholar opposite him tightly.

"I'm ......" the scholar looked embarrassed and spoke for a long time, "Senior brother, you know I can't go!" ”

"Then go back to your academy, don't appear in front of my eyes!"

Xiao Mu held the silver spear in his hand, his eyes full of coldness.

"Senior brother, aren't you going to meet Master?"

"I don't have anything to say to him, when Qiguo was broken and Xue Yan disappeared, where is he! Where is he! ”

"You ......" The scholar was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to refute it.

"Come back this time, just get some things, and I'll leave tomorrow! From now on, I, Xiao Mu, have nothing to do with you Changling! ”

At this time.

In the corner of the west of the city, a mysterious ancestral hall, a hunchbacked old man of unknown age in the courtyard sits in the pavilion, a game of stone chess is placed in front of him, and the old man holds black and white twins to play by himself.

He stopped his hem fingers, his eyes lit up for a moment, then closed his eyes again, and continued to consider the game.
