Outside the Jiangnan City of Nanzhou Prefecture, in a deep mountain, a stone tower that rises to the sky towers into the sky, the tower is nine stories high, it has stood on the top of the mountain, and now it is higher.

This is the famous Lonely Sky Tower in Nanzhou Prefecture.

And even more famous than the Lonely Sky Tower is the tower keeper who has been stationed under the Lonely Sky Tower.

The tower keeper of the ten-rank kendo grandmaster.

When Li Haomiao did not break through the realm, the tower keeper was the first person worthy of the name.

The tower keeper has no name or surname, or rather, no one knows his name.

He never talks to people, but just puts on that arrogant posture in the wind, frost, rain and snow, leaving the world with an insurmountable back.

Under the Lonely Sky Tower, there are countless remnant swords inserted diagonally, and after countless wind and rain, no matter how good the sword is, it has become rusty. Each sword here represents a swordsman, a swordsman who walked into the Lonely Sky Tower and never came out again.

On the mountain road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are countless people who are struggling to move towards the top of the mountain step by step.

The sword was immense, and it fell on everyone on the mountain road.

Some people were bent over, and some even knelt on the ground, but the only thing they had in common was that everyone was gritting their teeth and struggling to move forward.

A few breaths and a step, a stick of incense, or even an hour to move forward.

The further you go to the top of the mountain, the more powerful the sword you encounter, and the more time it takes to take a step forward.

"Persistence, persistence. The seniors will never accept those who give up halfway. ”

"As long as I go to the top of the mountain, I will be able to become a disciple of my predecessors, and I will be able to avenge my parents."

"I must learn the sword, I must take revenge, definitely, definitely!"

The boy thought to himself, gritting his teeth, his forehead covered with sweat. Even at the foot of the mountain, the boy walked with great difficulty.

Airplanes!

A sword roar shook in the young man's mind, his body trembled, and he immediately rolled down the mountain path that he had just walked a few steps on.

The plain white robe was blackened by the dirt on the ground, but the original plain white was also the color that had been washed by the wind and rain countless times.

The boy had been lying on the ground for a long time, and he had rolled down like this many times, let alone how many latecomers had walked in front of him.

Whew!

Exhaling three mouthfuls of turbid air, the young man got up again, patted the dust on his body, showed extraordinary perseverance in his eyes, and climbed the mountain again.

At this moment, a voice came from behind the young man.

"Hey, you've been walking for five years, and you're still at the bottom of the mountain. Listen to my advice, you might as well take a different path. There are thousands of avenues, and there is always something for you. ”

As if he hadn't heard, the boy took one step and stepped steadily on the mountain road.

The man stepped forward and brushed the unruly strand of hair on his forehead.

"Little brother, why are you doing this? Five years ago, you were here, and five years later, you're still not moving forward. With your talents, you can't get to the top of the mountain. ”

The boy didn't look at the man, and said, "Five years ago, I could only walk one step, and five years later, I can walk up twenty steps. If I don't accumulate steps, I will definitely set foot on the top of the mountain. ”

The man looked at the long mountain road, and there were 9,999 steps from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

It took five years to walk twenty steps, and this talent is to walk to a handful of loess, and you can't walk to the top of the mountain.

The man shook his head, suddenly had an interesting thought in his heart, and said with a smile: "Since you want to learn a sword, I will teach you a sword, how about it?" ”

The boy took another step, shook his head, and said, "I only learn the best swords. ”

"Yo, my temper is quite stubborn, not like that kid in my family at all." The man laughed, "Funny, funny." If you don't learn, I'm going to teach you. ”

The man raised his hand and pointed at it, and a sword aura burst out from his fingertips, burrowing into the young man's eyebrows.

Suddenly, the young man's eyes were blank and froze in place.

Until the young man reacted, his expression was wonderful, and he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Master is above, please accept Ah Liang's worship." ”

This sword is enough to learn for a lifetime.

And in front of the young Ah Liang, how can there be a man?

On the top of the mountain, a man appeared and walked towards the tower keeper who was sitting under the lonely sky tower.

"Li Haomiao, why do you want to help him?" The tower keeper spoke.

The man was none other than Li Haomiao, who had come south from Kyoto.

Li Haomiao smiled indifferently: "Five years of perseverance can't buy you a sword, so it's better to let me teach him." ”

"With his talents, he can't go far. Why bother to teach him? The tower keeper said, his voice rather unforgiving.

In his eyes, the most talented people deserve to teach kendo.

"The master leads the door, and the cultivation is personal. I don't care how far he can go. Li Haomiao didn't talk nonsense and asked, "What are you summoning me for?" ”

The tower keeper looked at the Lonely Sky Tower behind him and said, "There is an abnormal movement under the tower. I'm going to go into the tower and have a look, and I need you to help me guard the tower. ”

Hearing this, Li Haomiao's brows also furrowed.

Only a few people in the world know that the tower keeper is not actually guarding the Lonely Sky Tower, but the things under the tower.

"Are they coming out?" Li Haomiao asked.

The tower keeper shook his head and said, "There is still some time before the millennium period, and these may be their vanguards. In short, I have to go into the investigation to be at ease. ”

Li Haomiao no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." I'll leave it to me here. ”

"It's better to be quick, though. If my nephew is exposed to the wilderness, then I will be gone. ”

The tower keeper stepped forward, and his figure disappeared, and he had already entered the Lonely Sky Tower.

Li Haomiao looked up at the Lonely Sky Tower and said to himself, "Don't let anything happen." I haven't had enough of my free life! ”

.......

In the early morning, the goose feathers and heavy snow finally dyed the mountains and rivers white.

Yu Zhi looked at the silver outside the mountain temple, and gently let out a cold breath, and the white smoke disappeared into the cold wind.

He turned his head and glanced in Xiao Jingyao's direction, and it just so happened that the other party was also looking at him.

Their eyes met in the air, and they nodded and smiled at each other.

Yu Zhi looked at Li Wantong, who had not yet woken up, and then set aside the burning fire and took out a few sweet potatoes from the ashes of the fire.

This was in the middle of the night, and Yu Zhi deliberately threw it in. In order to have food in the morning.

"Qinghuan, hmm."

Ye Qinghuan took the sweet potato and ate it.

Yu Zhi held two sweet potatoes in his hand and walked towards Xiao Jingyao.

"Eat?"

Xiao Jingyao looked at Yu Zhi and just wanted to reach out and take it. Wan'er beside her reminded softly: "Childe." ”

When you go out, you are most afraid that the other party will poison the food.

You can't eat anything you don't eat when you say it.

This is the most basic truth.

Xiao Jingyao said, "It's okay. ”

He reached out and took the sweet potato that Yu Zhi handed over.

Seeing this, Wan'er snatched the sweet potato from Xiao Jingyao's hand and grabbed a bite of each of the two sweet potatoes.

Yu Zhi smiled helplessly, but his kindness was regarded as malice.

It's no wonder that if you change yourself, you will also worry that things are toxic.

But this woman was so faithful that she tried poison.

Xiao Jingyao was also stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to Yu Zhi apologetically: "I'm sorry, my family Wan'er is too worried when I'm out of the house." ”

Yu Zhi watched Xiao Jingyao take Wan'er's sweet potato and took a bite himself.

He knew that the relationship between the two must not be simple.

"It doesn't matter. If it were me, I would have doubted it. But I was abrupt. ”
