Westview, Jianzhou, Luomei County.

On the official road, there is an endless stream of people and horses, wine flags are displayed, tea furnaces are boiling, many merchants rest here, and several large boxes of goods on the ox carts and carriages stop in front of them, not daring to leave far.

"Shopkeeper, how far is it from the Sword Sect here?" While drinking, a young man in black avoided everyone in the store and asked the store for news.

The young man looked less than twenty years old, with a pair of Danfeng eyes, clear eyes, black hair tied up, and a long sword hanging from his waist.

"Sword Sect?" The shopkeeper frowned, searched again and again in his memory, and shook his head: "Childe, forgive me, the villain has been making a living in this north-south key road for seven or eight years, and he has also entertained many guests, but he has never heard of any Sword Sect. ”

"Forgive me for talking too much, are you sure that the 'Sword Sect' you are looking for is in our Luomei County? Not to mention anything else, if it is in Luomei County, no matter how small the name is, the villain must have heard some news. I'm afraid that the son is in the wrong place. ”

The boy was stunned, looking for the wrong place? I can't. What did Old Man Bai tell him before he came?

"In the days to come, you will stay in this western view, and I will go back to Tianqian first. If you want to worship the sect, with your ability to be a first-class little grandmaster, where can you go? ”

"Then in Bai Lao's opinion, where should I go?"

"Stinky boy, I don't have any opinions." The old man laughed and scolded, immediately fell into contemplation, glanced at the young man, hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, you don't have to go to the five major sects of Xijing, in Luomei County, where Luomei Sword Forest is located, there is a sect called 'Sword Sect', and it may be the best place for you to go." The Sword Sect is in the same lineage, and its strength is slightly inferior, but its heritage is far beyond the five major sects of Xijing today. ”

"Okay."

……

"Scammed?" Su Yichuan only felt inexplicable.

"Childe, Childe!" The shopkeeper saw that the young man's face was wrong, for fear of annoying this boy, who was dressed ordinarily but had a good temperament, and hurriedly shouted twice.

"The villain of the Sword Sect has really never heard of it, but here is ninety miles to the west, leaving the official road to the suburbs, there is a towering mountain, and there is a sect called 'Little Sword Sect' along the mountain road, I don't know if it is the destination of the child's trip."

Su Yichuan's eyes lit up, "Really? ”

"It's just...... It's just that the sect's connections are withering, and it is in ruins and depression, and it may not be the place that the son is looking for. The shopkeeper said cautiously.

Su Yichuan smiled bitterly, he was in a dilemma, and he had no choice but to go to the Little Sword Sect to find out first.

"Thank you." The boy took out a little bit of broken silver as a reward.

"Ouch! Thank you, young master! "The shopkeeper was happy, and they had to be clever and look at people's faces to do what they did, especially in this place of transportation.

"Brother Jiang, do we want to continue west?" Su Yichuan returned to the caravan and asked.

The middle-aged man led by him was sturdy, dressed in sackcloth, nodded and said, "Yes, wait until you get out of the city to the suburbs, and then change the route to the north." ”

"After leaving the city, I need to change my route, and I would like to thank Brother Jiang for taking care of me all the way." Su Yichuan clenched his fists with both hands, and the middle-aged man just waved his hand to signal that he was just dropping by and didn't have to care.

Following the caravan all the way out of the city, Su Yichuan said goodbye to everyone on the spot, many people responded with a smile, some of them did not change their faces, Su Yichuan accompanied him for six or seven days, and he also knew that they were all people who were not good at words.

After asking the people who were farming in the fields, he walked along the country road for less than half an hour, and Su Yichuan finally saw a lush green mountain.

The mountain peaks reach into the sky, and at a glance, the mountain is tightly covered by the veil of clouds and mist, and it is not really visible. The wall stands thousands of miles, and there are occasional white cranes crying in the clouds, which is like the fairy mountain of the fairy family.

Seeing this scene, Su Yichuan's originally apprehensive mood calmed down slightly, the sect site is located in such a magnificent place, and the sect will not be bad if he thinks about it, maybe the people of the Sword Sect are all hermit masters who don't like mundane things.

There is a small town at the foot of the mountain, Su Yichuan is cheeky and picks families to come to the door to beg for water, and learned from the aunt's mouth that this town is nameless, just because it is at the foot of Zangfeng Mountain, outsiders call this Zangfeng Town.

"Whew...... Thanks a lot. Su Yichuan drank to the fullest, took a long breath, and handed the gourd scoop back to the peasant woman in his hand.

"Auntie, have you ever heard of the Sword Sect, but on this Zangfeng Mountain?"

"Sword Sect?" The woman muttered, and suddenly said, "Oh! Some have, Ye Xiaoya's sect, not bad, yes, it's on this Zangfeng Mountain. ”

Su Yichuan was overjoyed.

"What? Are you going to apprentice? A good thing, a good thing. The woman seemed to have met some happy event, and she was even happier than Su Yichuan herself, and she stopped passers-by.

"Second Brother Wang, this kid is going to Zangfeng Mountain to apprentice, which is Ye Yatou's sect."

Su Yichuan felt a little strange when he saw this, and immediately said goodbye and said that he would go up the mountain as soon as possible.

"Let's go." The woman smiled and nodded.

On Zangfeng Mountain, Su Yichuan went up along the mountain road, in addition to the emerald green in his eyes, he could also hear the sound of the spring water.

Until I walked to a stone archway on the mountain road, I saw three big characters engraved crookedly on the archway - Xiaojian Zong, and the archway stood alone in the weeds. Su Yichuan froze in place, and finally couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart at this moment, and whispered with a blue face: "It's over, after all, I was tricked by Bai Lao, so it's hard to run for nothing." ”

As he was complaining, someone interrupted him, and his voice was as clear and ethereal as a silver bell in the wind and waves of the bamboo forest.

"Hey, what are you doing, what are you doing here?"

Following the prestige, Su Yichuan found that there was a girl sitting cross-legged on the pillar behind the stone archway, with a beautiful face, wearing a ponytail and a red dress, holding a wild fruit in her hand and gnawing hard, and her round mouth left only a small tooth pit on it.

"You are?"

The girl ate the flesh clean, spit out the beard in her mouth to the side, and stood up straight and stared at Su Yichuan. Silent for a while, he probably didn't like this sight, stepped on the stone pier of the archway, and looked at Su Yichuan at eye level.

"This girl's surname is Ye, her name is Ye Yingyan, I ask you why you are here?"

"Hey." It should be the Ye girl in the mouth of the town, Su Yichuan thought to himself, then sighed, and said weakly: "In Xia Su Yichuan, come here...... Apprentice. ”

The girl grabbed Su Yichuan's shirt and pulled it forward suddenly, looking at him with soft eyebrows, half-convinced: "Apprentice, who are you looking for to apprentice?" ”

The tip of Su Yichuan's nose moved uncontrollably, he faintly smelled a quiet aroma, swallowed his saliva, and replied quietly: "I want to enter the Sword Sect." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Yingyan immediately let go of his little hand, patted his palms up and down, and looked very satisfied: "Mmmm, yes, yes, I am a disciple of the Little Sword Sect, come with me." ”

"However, I'm talking about the Sword Sect, not the Little Sword Sect......" Speaking of the back, Su Yichuan's voice was much weaker.

"Oh, it's almost the same, there's just a small Sword Sect here." After Ye Yingyan finished speaking, he couldn't help but pull Su Yichuan inside, and the latter had to follow to take a look or two first.

"Here, this is our Little Sword Sect, I'll call Master."

Su Yichuan didn't know how long he had been walking inside, anyway, looking at the entire Zangfeng Mountain, I was afraid that he hadn't reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Looking around, there are four thatched huts, there are several stone benches in the courtyard, a large stone mill, firewood is stacked in the corner, and an old ginkgo tree stands at the door.

Su Yichuan covered his face with his right hand, wanting to cry without tears.

And so it was.

This is the Sword Sect in Bai Lao's mouth that far surpasses the five major sects?

"You little girl, you don't have a good shape all day long, and you are deceived as a teacher. In this small place, will there be people who will come to Zangfeng Mountain to apprentice? ”

"It's true! Besides, where is Zangfeng Mountain small, it is obviously very big! Ye Yingyan's indignant voice came from the thatched hut in the middle, "People are standing at the door waiting for you to be old." ”

"Crunch." A man pushed open the wooden door, and there were words in his mouth, saying something like the apprentice taking the master to have fun. It's just that when the man really saw Su Yichuan standing at the door, he was stunned for a while, and he made a sigh in his mouth, and he didn't move.

Seeing this scene, Su Yichuan strode forward, bent down, and said loudly: "Senior Su Yichuan, I have come to Zangfeng Mountain to worship under the Little Sword Sect. ”

"Oh?" The corners of the man's mouth were playful, and he said jokingly: "Little Sword Sect...... Strange, didn't you come to find the Sword Sect? ”

Su Yichuan was shocked and raised his head suddenly.

"Sword Sect? Master, what Sword Sect? Ye Yingyanqiao's face was full of doubts.

"It's the Little Sword Sect." The man smiled slightly, didn't say much, but beckoned Su Yichuan to come over.

"My Little Sword Sect doesn't do much here, and I help the people in the town to do some chores on weekdays, and I don't show the mountains and waters, and there are no mountains and rivers worth showing. How did you find out about this and come to apprentice? ”

No wonder the people in the town were very happy to see that they were going to apprentice.

Su Yichuan scratched his head, didn't know how to answer, thought for a while, and had to say, "My family asked me to come here to practice." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it, it's not an old acquaintance of mine. ”

Su Yichuan felt embarrassed at first, he had followed Bai Lao for all these years, and he knew his temperament, and he was never allowed to reveal his name. But every time he left, he would deliberately tell himself this, since he didn't say it this time......

So Su Yichuan was no longer entangled, and turned to say softly: "Bai Lao, Bai Yuanliang." ”

Ye Yingyan looked dazed, the man looked calm, and under Su Yichuan's staring gaze, the latter said slowly: "I haven't heard of it, I don't know it." ”

Su Yichuan's face froze, and then he was relieved, it was okay if he hadn't heard of it, so he didn't tell the news of Bai Lao.

"What does that Mr. mean ......" Su Yichuan tentatively.

"Hmm." The man's right thumb and index finger rubbed his chin, and he was thinking, but one of his good disciples was secretly pulling his sleeve on the side, so he had to hold back a smile and said:

"My name is Li Changfeng, the master of the Little Sword Sect, you can work tirelessly to find the mountain to worship the mountain, which is enough to prove your sincerity. I will take you as an apprentice, and according to your seniority, you still have two uncles and three brothers. ”

"As for Ye Yingyan, I think you have also known her, she is your only senior sister, and before you came, she was the youngest."

Su Yichuan could understand why he always felt that this Senior Sister Ye was so active in introducing him to the mountain gate, it turned out that he didn't want to be at the bottom of the sect.

Ye Yingyan felt Su Yichuan's gaze, stood behind Li Changfeng and shook his head, and then grinned at the young man, vaguely revealing two small tiger teeth.

"That's it, Yingyan took Yichuan to the room, cleaned up what should be cleaned, and went back to make up for sleep for the teacher first." Li Changfeng yawned and stretched his waist, and prepared to go back to the room.

"No way!" Ye Yingyan suddenly shouted, "No matter how small our Little Sword Sect is, it is also a sect, how can apprentices be so childish?" ”

Li Changfeng was stunned, "That's what I said." He turned around and went back to the room with a cup of tea and handed it to Su Yichuan.

Su Yichuan understood, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Changfeng three times, holding the teacup in both hands, and respectfully offered it to the latter.

"Master."

Li Changfeng took it and drank it all.

"Alright."

"No, no...... Ye Yingyan was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "The big sects with names and surnames recruit new disciples, which one is not tested, why are you so casual?" ”

Su Yichuan was also dumbfounded: "Senior sister, it's just me, won't I?" ”

Li Changfeng and Su Yichuan looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes, Li Changfeng rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Do you want to leave it to you?" ”

Who knew that Ye Yingyan stuck his hands in his waist and nodded heavily: "Okay!" ”

Su Yichuan was stunned.
