Chapter 21: Songs and Gifts

Looking back, it was the three inspectors who wore the armbands of the inspectors who shouted.

It's just that Zhang Yanqi recognizes these three inspectors.

They are none other than the three stars of the Holy Sword Society - "Hundred Illusion Sword" Dongfang Jie, "Snake Sword" Ximen Jie, and "Electric Sword" Ling Hujie.

Since returning from the last trip to Mushroom Ridge, Sanjie's injuries have almost healed.

The people in the Holy Sword Society enjoyed the highest level of injury medicine and medical treatment in the Academy's Songhe Hall, and they naturally recovered quickly.

Seeing the inspectors, Zhang Yanqi and Guan Hao didn't dare to say more, and stepped up cleaning.

Sanjie saw Zhang Yanqi, but showed a very strange smile.

"Isn't this Zhang Yanqi?" Ling Hujie circled around Zhang Yanqi.

"Yes, it's Zhang Yanqi." Simonjie replied.

"I remember the last time he was very badly injured." Dongfang Jie said: "I have to clean the toilet if I am injured......"

"Not really." Ling Hujie and Ximenjie both shook their heads.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Hujie snatched the mop in Zhang Yanqi's hand, Ximenjie snatched the mop in Guan Hao's hand, and Dongfang Jie pushed the two out of the toilet.

"Go back and recuperate, go, go."

Guan Hao was completely confused, and asked Zhang Yanqi in surprise:

"Are you familiar with these three senior brothers?"

"There was a one-sided relationship."

"One side of the relationship! But they were willing to help us clean the toilet for us. Guan Hao thought they were very familiar, but when he heard that there was only one side, he was even more shocked.

What kind of charm does Zhang Yanqi have that can make Xingyao Sanjie help him so much?

Zhang Yanqi knew in his heart that Sanjie was repaying him for saving them in front of the steelback beast that night.

The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own cabins. Back at home, you can get a brief moment of tranquility.

Back in the hut, as soon as he sat down, a pair of charming and gentle jade hands grabbed Zhang Yanqi's arm.

"Demon Venerable, you're finally back......" Zi Ye's gentle whisper came from his ears, and a pair of teeth were already bitten on his wrist.

Ziye's illness was committed again, like a withering flower, Zhang Yanqi looked at her, extremely pity, "Alas, I should have come back a little earlier." ”

After sucking blood, Purple Night regained her senses.

"Well, I lost a lot of money in today's sword competition." While sucking blood, Purple Night also gained his memories.

"It's better to turn into a blood demon tonight and beat that person up." Purple Night suggested.

"No, you can't transform in the academy."

Zhang Yanqi resolutely disagreed, and repeatedly explained that the academy must not be allowed to find out the fact that he is a Demon Venerable, otherwise he will be expelled.

Zi Ye is very disdainful of Tianxing Academy, but Zhang Yanqi is different, it carries his dreams and his family's expectations for him.

Ziye looked at Zhang Yanqi, "Demon Venerable, don't blame me for not reminding you, the last time the steelback beast, the lie you said, it's okay to deceive Xingyao Sanjie and the three pig brains, but it's not okay to deceive your two teachers, they already suspect you." ”

"I understand, I'll be more careful."

Night is coming.

Purple Night opened the window and heard the faint sound of singing in the night wind.

"It's the mushroom people, calling us!" Zi Ye held up the Night Demon umbrella and pulled Zhang Yanqi out with him.

"Hey...... Hey......" Zhang Yanqi wanted to refuse her, but he couldn't say anything, since the last kiss, he couldn't refuse anything about Ziye.

The two of them went around and around, dodging the many night patrol swordsmen of the academy and running out of the academy.

For some reason, every time she ran out like this, Zhang Yanqi always felt an indescribable joy.

No one can imprison others, and those who are imprisoned always want to come out.

At the foot of Tiandou Mountain, there is a big river in the east, called Luoshui, flowing water soup soup, day and night.

On the bank of Luoshui, the grass is green.

The two came here.

Zhang Yanqi looked up at the sky, the night sky was as starry as a sea, calm and bright. The cool night breeze blows slowly on the body, and it is indescribably useful.

When I was a child in my hometown, I often looked at the sky in a daze. After coming to the academy, he was always busy practicing sword cultivation and qi, how long had it been since he looked up at the starry sky?

Suddenly, there was a movement in the grass.

Zhang Yanqi immediately put his sword in his hand and said nervously: "What is it?" ”

"Don't be nervous, they're coming." Purple Night Finger Grass.

Here came a group of mushroom people. Eight large mushrooms, some big and some small, came out in line.

"What are they doing again?" Zhang Yanqi asked.

"They are here to repay your kindness, to repay you for the grace of the Mushroom Ridge to eliminate demons."

Purple Night explained that it was the mushroom people who sang and summoned them out of the Heavenly Star Academy.

"They won't carve mushroom marks for me again, I don't want to ......" Zhang Yanqi scratched his head, not very happy.

"People are here to repay their kindness this time, and they won't carve any stamps for you." Ziye said with a smile.

"Do they have a treasure for me?" Zhang Yanqi's heart was suddenly full of anticipation.

The chivalrous men in the rivers and lakes take risks everywhere, do chivalrous deeds, and often have adventures, so as to get rich rewards. Or a peerless and invincible martial arts cheats, or a magical pill to enhance aura, or an invincible ancient divine weapon.

Ziye pouted, "Think beautifully, mushroom people live in poverty, how can there be any treasures." ”

She stared at Zhang Yanqi with a pair of beautiful eyes and asked:

"Dignified Demon Venerable, is helping others just to get benefits?"

Zhang Yanqi's face flushed, thinking that the way of chivalry and helping others should not have any schemes.

At this time, the mushroom people held hands, formed a circle, surrounded Zhang Yanqi and Ziye, and sang leisurely.

The song is ethereal, tactful and low.

Zhang Yanqi asked quietly: "What song are they singing?" ”

Zi Ye smiled lightly: "I'll translate it for you." In human language, she sang along with the mushroom people:

Where I came from, no one knows

Where I'm going, no one knows

Gently swaying in the moonlight, mother's embrace

Singing in the night wind, how lonely

…………

Listening to this sad and mournful singing, coupled with the cool night breeze, Zhang Yanqi couldn't help but be intoxicated.

He was a little homesick.

He is a motherless child, he grew up with his father and siblings, and since he left his hometown and came to Tianxing to study art, he has not returned home for two years. It's been two years, he hasn't been able to become a knight, his future is bleak, his return date is indefinite, are your relatives okay at home? Those friends back home, do you remember yourself?

Many old people and past events in my hometown emerge one by one.

Zhang Yanqi's eyes became blurred with tears.

Purple Night suddenly woke him up and shouted:

"Look, the mushroom man has laid eggs!"

"Laid eggs? It's really an egg! ”

Zhang Yanqi rubbed his eyes, and when he saw it, sure enough, there were eight mushroom people, and each of them laid an egg.

What kind of egg is this?

After the egg was over, the eight mushroom people bowed to Zhang Yanqi in unison, and said a few more words to Zi Ye, and then turned to leave.

"It's a mushroom spores, a gift for you." Purple Night told him.

"Mushroom spores...... What's the use of this? ”

Zhang Yanqi put away the eight mushroom spores, and really didn't know what this thing was for.

After sending away the mushroom man and getting a gift, Zhang Yanqi wanted to return to the academy. But Ziye watched Luoshui Dahe with relish, and had no intention of going back, Zhang Yanqi was afraid that she would suffocate in the night demon umbrella, and he was embarrassed to ask her to go back.

It was really boring, Zhang Yanqi remembered the failure of the sword competition during the day, and remembered his conversation with Guan Hao, so he took out the long sword, anyway, he had nothing to do, so he simply practiced swordsmanship by the river.

The stupid bird flies first, and only by practicing more and practicing hard can he progress, which has always been his creed.

Ziye no longer looked at the water, but watched him practice swords. The purple beauty sat lazily on the grass, with her hands on her cheeks, and looked at it with a smile.

Zhang Yanqi danced the long sword and practiced the "Beidou Xian Xingjian" he had learned repeatedly.

The Beidou Xian Xing Sword is the basic swordsmanship of the Heavenly Star Academy, although it is the foundation, it can be called a peerless sword in the sword. This set of swordsmanship is the ancestor of Tianxing Academy - Beidou Sword Venerable in the towering mountains at night watching the Beidou towering stars and realized, the swordsmanship is vertical and horizontal, and the sword momentum is incomparable.

The Big Dipper Xian Star Sword, with a total of seven styles, is facing the number of the Big Dipper.

The seven styles are, "Emperor Car Patrol", "Purple Light Holding Lotus", "Heavenly Star Auxiliary Wings", "Seven Appearances and Two Hidden", "Xuange Swagger", "Flowing Chaos Starlight", and "Polar Star Fortune Fight".

Since learning swords at Tianxing Academy, Zhang Yanqi has spent most of his time practicing this set of swordsmanship, and the seven styles have been learned, the only thing lacking is heat and refinement.

"Just take advantage of this sleepless night to practice swordsmanship well, I must surpass Qin Xingyun!"

Ambition suddenly rose, Zhang Yanqi seriously practiced the Beidou Xian Xing Sword.

Zi Ye was on the side, staring at a pair of big purple eyes, just smiling and watching him practice swords.

Zhang Yanqi practiced the style of "Emperor Car Patrol".

Purple Night commented:

"This sword is so slow, so slow, can this stab people? Oh, I see, as soon as the enemy saw this sword, they were scared away. ”

Hearing her say this, Zhang Yanqi's face suddenly turned red.

"The Emperor's Chariot Patrol" pays attention to the dignified sword momentum, and it is clumsy and clever, just like the chariot of the Emperor of Heaven to run over the enemy. He didn't know the essentials, he didn't practice well, this trick was just slow, but not dignified.

"Sister Xiao Ye is right, I am so slow to draw a sword, how can I stab someone? How could I be so stupid! Alas, don't think about it too much, keep practicing. ”

Practice to the "purple light holding lotus" style.

"Ao, it turns out that this is the trick used to fight with Qin Xingyun, alas, why didn't you hold it?" Purple Night said again.

As soon as she said this, Zhang Yanqi thought of the fiasco of the day, and her heart felt weak for a while. So he abandoned this trick and practiced something else.

When he practiced the "Flowing Chaos Starlight" style, Zhang Yan's seventy-nine sword stabbed out quickly.

Ziye clapped his hands and said: "Okay, these swords are really fast, but why are each sword so soft, I understand, this is called hiding needles in the cotton." ”

Zhang Yanqi's heart is even more empty.

This move, "Flowing Starlight", is an absolute attack in the Beidou Xian Xing Sword, which pays attention to swordsmanship and rapid stabbing, just like a meteor in the sky.

This move is only offensive but not defensive, fast and dense, and it is done in one go, catching the opponent off guard. A master can quickly stab dozens or even hundreds of swords, and the key is to have a strong aura to support it. But Zhang Yanqi's aura was not strong, he only stabbed out nine swords, and he had no strength.

Zhang Yanqi's unhappiness intensified, and he changed to something else.

With a sudden swish, the sword in Zhang Yanqi's hand flew out and stuck far into the ground.

"This flying sword is great!" Purple Night clapped her hands and praised.

"Why am I so stupid!"

Zhang Yanqi was out of breath, and the "Pole Star Fortune Fight" he practiced just now was the most unique style of the Beidou Xian Xing Sword.

This move is a sword with qi, the long sword leaves the hand, and it flies around the body, which can hurt enemies in all directions. When the formula is used up, the long sword should fly back into the hand, and the secret lies in controlling the long sword with aura.

Zhang Yanqi's aura was weak, how could he transport the long sword, he flew away, and he was still out of breath.

A swordsman cannot lose his sword, and losing his sword is equivalent to losing his life.

His own sword has flew, how can he be qualified to be a swordsman.

Zhang Yanqi suddenly turned around and ran towards the Luoshui River.

Ziye hurriedly chased after him, thinking, "This stupid boy is not going to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, right?" ”

When I got closer, I saw Zhang Yanqi washing his face, and there were tears on his face.

"You...... Crying? ”

Zhang Yanqi did not answer.

Ziye said softly: "Demon Venerable, it's me who is not good, in fact, you don't have to practice swords at all, what kind of opponent, you can blow up with one punch." ”

"You don't understand, I don't want to be a demon, I just want to be a knight." Zhang Yanqi was a little sobbed.

Since he was a child, he has been pinned on high hopes by his family and fellow villagers, and he aspires to become a chivalrous man, which is not only his wish, but also the wish of his family. Of the seven brothers and sisters in the family, he was the only one who was sent to Tianxing Academy, and the tuition fee was collected by his father and the villagers. He must become a knight, and he longs to return to his hometown and bring glory to his family.

However, when he came to Tianxing Academy, he found that there were so many masters, so many geniuses, and so many opportunities, but he didn't have them, he was just a mediocre person. The reality is extremely cruel, and his dream is unattainable, but he never wants to give up.

After holding on for so long, tonight, he finally broke down.

Zi Ye looked at him for a while, and shook his head, "I really can't understand, being a demon is happy and happy, and being a man has a lot of troubles, alas, you are still willing to ......"

She then added, "However, it is not impossible. ”
