Three hundred miles outside Chang'an City, there is a stretching mountain called Nanlu, and there is a village called Wangzhuang in Nanlu.

Wangzhuang is not big, there are only more than 30 households, which are scattered under the southern foot of the mountain, and the opposite side is still a big mountain, which is the branch of the southern foothill.

The family at the foot of the mountain is not luxurious, a wooden house, a courtyard house, but it is not simple.

There are three large rooms in the main hall, and a total of four side rooms on both sides, but the huge house is only inhabited by four people. javascript:;

Twilight is approaching, and the snow sets off the winter twilight.

Under the light of the two lanterns in the main house, the courtyard is full of light and shadow.

The phantom of the sword light and the snowflakes flying in the sky complement each other, and outsiders can't tell that there is actually a person in that light and shadow.

The man who danced the knife was Yang Shaoyun, the owner of the wooden house.

After a stick of incense, the light and shadow gradually dissipated, and Yang Shaoyun was dressed in pure black, which was particularly eye-catching in the snow.

The black-clothed man on the mountain was not shocked, the man dancing the knife was actually wearing black clothes, which formed a strong contrast with the snowflakes in the sky and the whiteness on the ground, and he couldn't see the slightest shadow before.

"The knife screams for life" really lives up to its name.

Yang Shaoyun stood still with a knife and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After looking around, he turned around and entered the house.

"Yang Dali, where did Zao'er go?"

At this time, he found out that his youngest son Yang Xiaozao was not at home.

The eldest son, Yang Dali, immediately replied: "Back to my father, my younger brother went to Mr. Gou's house at the entrance of the village......"

Yang Shaoyun governs his family with virtue and cultivates himself with martial arts, and his family style is very good. Therefore, children and parents will use the same back when they speak, just like between the upper and lower levels of the court.

When Yang Shaoyun heard Yang Dali say this, he suddenly panicked: "Didn't I tell you to guard him all the time?" Why did he let him go to Mr. Gou's house alone, if he was ...... by others?"

Yang Shaoyun didn't dare to continue.

Yang Dali has just come of age, and his early children are even younger, so they shouldn't know too much.

But in the past few days, Yang Shaoyun has always had an inexplicable anxiety and worry, and always feels that something bad will happen.

Because in the past six months, there has been an abnormality in Wangzhuang, and some strangers have appeared in the village from time to time, and once they even played with Yang Xiaozao for a while.

As soon as Yang Shaoyun heard that Yang Xiaozao had gone to Mr. Gou and had not returned after dark, he suddenly had an ominous premonition: "Why don't you hurry up and pick up your younger brother back!" ”

Yang Dali was reprimanded by his father and was very aggrieved: "Father, my younger brother said that he wanted to go to Mr. Gou's house to borrow books, and I couldn't stop him...... The boy went and called his brother back. ”

Yang Shaoyun was anxious, but said lightly: "Go and come back quickly, it's getting dark." ”

Yang Dali went out to find Yang Xiaozao, and Yang Shaoyun was still more relieved.

God, it's getting dark......

In the back mountain of the Yang family, that is, under the southern slope of the southern foothills, there was already a person lurking in the dense forest waiting for dark.

As soon as Yang Dali left, Yang Shaoyun suddenly felt inexplicably flustered, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to see that the virtuous wife Liu was cooking food, and he was relieved.

For more than ten years, Yang Shaoyun has never left his relatives for a moment, nor has he let his relatives leave his sight.

Yang Shaoyun's worries stem from his family background.

The Yang family's martial arts family, the ancestors have made the earth-shattering ghost and god's life-seeking knife method for generations. In Yang Shaoyun's generation, he has won the reputation of "sword roaring for life", and no one on the rivers and lakes rushed to provoke him.

But this hasn't been the case lately.

Two hundred years ago, Yang Shaoyun's ancestor was also the founding father of the Han Dynasty, although he was only a military marquis, but he could be regarded as following Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to defeat the Han Dynasty with one hand and one foot, and made great achievements.

Later, for some reason, the Han dynasty was initially decided, and the ancestors of the Yang family suddenly retired from the rivers and lakes when they became famous, and set up an ancestral precept to warn future generations not to be allowed to be officials and stay away from the court. Be a civilian, make a living by farming and studying, and practice martial arts to strengthen your body.

Yang Shaoyun is the eighth generation of descendants, strictly abide by the ancestral teachings, in the early years did not plough and study for a living, wandering the rivers and lakes for a few years, after giving birth to Yang Xiaozao, in the northern suburbs of the capital three hundred miles away at the foot of the southern foot of the mountain.

The Yang family has always remembered the ancestral teachings, and no one is an official anymore, but martial arts must be practiced, and they must be practiced well.

Two hundred years later, only Yang Shaoyun's family remained.

Yang Shaoyun devoted himself to practicing martial arts, and indeed cultivated the ancestral life-seeking knife technique to the point of sealing his throat with a knife.

However, Yang Shaoyun lives in a simple place and never interacts with the rivers and lakes, and the so-called nickname of "Sword Screaming for Life" is only a rumor of martial arts.

As for whether there is an opponent in the world? Yang Shaoyun didn't try it.

Yang Shaoyun is low-key, but the two sons under his knees are very high-profile, and they have become the twin heroes of Nanlu at a young age.

The eldest son, Yang Dali, is eighteen years old, and his martial arts have gradually approached Yang Shaoyun, with a piece of bamboo in his hand, and thirty or fifty people can't get close. And with innate divine power, he can capture the tigers in the deep mountains at the southern foot with his bare hands.

This is Wu Jie.

The nine-year-old youngest son, Yang Xiaozao, has a poor physique and no interest in martial arts, in Yang Shaoyun's words, he has no martial arts.

But Yang Xiaozao liked to read since he was a child, he was literate at the age of three, wrote poems at the age of five, and was able to memorize the "Analects", "Spring and Autumn" and "Historical Records" at the age of seven.

This is Wenjie.

The ancestors of the Yang family had ancestral training, cultivated and studied for a living, practiced martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and Yang Shaoyun's two sons did it, and they did it very well.

But these two children did not bring Yang Shaoyun some pride, but added more anxiety.

What makes Yang Shaoyun most uneasy is that Yang Xiaozao likes to go to Mr. Gou's house at the entrance of the village to read.

Mr. Gou is a foreigner who only came to Wangzhuang three years ago to teach for a living, and Yang Xiaozao is his protégé.

Mr. Gou's family background is also very mysterious, and it seems to be the same as the Yang family, and he doesn't mention it to outsiders.

However, after Yang Shaoyun talked with Mr. Gou a few times, he knew that this person was extraordinary, just a teaching gentleman, and he had a huge collection of books, in addition to history books and the art of war, there were also books such as I Ching, gossip, Qimen, Dunjia, etc.

So he was very worried that Yang Xiaozao would be "bewitched" by Mr. Gou.

……

Yang Dali came to Mr. Gou's house at the entrance of the village, said a blessing from afar, and gave a greeting to Mr. Gou. Then he said to Yang Xiaozao, who was stuck in the study: "Brother, my father ordered me to tell you to go home quickly." ”

"Oh, wait for me a little longer."

Yang Xiaozao is still young, and because the people love him, he is spoiled by the family, so he doesn't take his father's orders very seriously.

"Brother, hurry up, my father was already angry when I came......"

Yang Xiaozao glanced up at his brother, with a pitiful expression: "I finally saw "The Art of War", and I am interested." ”

"This ......"

Yang Dali loves this younger brother very much, as long as he does not let his father be angry, he tries his best to give his younger brother "freedom".

"Why don't you lend it to Mr. Gou for a few days?"

"No!"

Mr. Gou and Yang Xiaozao replied at the same time, and Yang Dali was very surprised.

Mr. Gou explained: "This book of "The Art of War", but my Gou ancestors handed it down, it can be regarded as a family heirloom, if it weren't for Yang Xiaozao's intelligence, he could interpret the mystery at a young age, and I was reluctant to let him read it." ”

And Yang Xiaozao's explanation is that even if Mr. Gou agrees to borrow books, he will not dare to borrow them, and once he is found by his father when he goes back, he will be reprimanded at the least, and he will be served by the family law.

The most important thing is that if his father destroys the books in a fit of anger, he will not be able to explain to Mr. Gou.

A nine-year-old child who reads a book has to serve in the family law, which is no wonder Yang Shaoyun, who told him that his family has ancestral training, and he is not allowed to be an official.

Reading does not necessarily mean that you can become an official, but in order to become an official, you must study.

Yang Xiaozao may get into trouble with just one mouth, which makes Yang Shaoyun worry all day long.

Read the "Analects", even if you know loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness, and then let Yang Xiaozao read Mr. Gou's messy books, how can that kid endure the loneliness of the deep mountains in the south when he grows up?

If it was just for the official capital, Yang Xiaozao would have released a remark and talked about the truth of the Qi family's rule of the country and the world.

This kid has a big heart.

Children with big hearts are generally short-lived.

Yang Shaoyun was very worried.

……

When Yang Dali returned to his house with his younger brother Yang Xiaozao, it was already dark.

In the depths of winter, the nights are naturally very cold.

The man in black hidden in the mountains behind Yang's house began to shake in the night.

said that he was a man in black, but in fact, he had already been covered with snow, ice and snow, which clump of dead grass would have a trace of warmth?

"Brother Zimo, when are we going to do it?"

The man in black was Mu Chenxue, next to him, there was a snowdrift that squirmed, and it turned out that there was a person hidden under the snowdrift, it was Wei Zimo.

Wei Zimo hoarsely voiced, and said in a breathy voice: "So that you are not allowed to speak without my order, you didn't see the man's one-handed knife technique just now?" I'm afraid that if you didn't get closer, you would have lost your head a long time ago......"

Although it was dark night, the faces of the two were still covered with black cloth very seriously, as if they were afraid that the snow would record their true faces, and the Yang family would seek revenge on them in the future.

The two pairs of eyes left outside flickered in anticipation of the goal of action in the snowy night.

Mu Chenxue lowered her voice: "Brother Zimo, of course I saw it, but when we carry out a mission, we don't necessarily have to fight against him openly, if we want to make a top-secret mission top-secret, we have to outwit it." ”

Wei Zimo nodded and said: "Ball, this action, naturally depends on outwitting, but you also have to act best when you are a child, since you also saw it just now, the sword roaring is not a false name, not to mention the eldest son of his family, just looking at the back of the walking, I know that his kung fu is not below you and me." The father and son of the Yang family are not easy to mess with, once they are alert, I can't fight with his family with my bare hands, once I miss, you and I lose our lives or a trivial matter, but the mission failed, and our dragon camp disappeared. ”

Mu Chenxue couldn't help but say to herself: "A hundred years of rivers and lakes, there is no longer a dragon camp for a long time." ”
