Cao Bing continued: "He was completely exposed to the Black Pine Forest that time. After catching the 'Flower Butterfly' Xue Chong, Xiaomu and I will plan and wait for the rabbit. He is Xue Chong's master, and he will come to his rescue. ”

Only then did Zhang Yanqi know that the gray bat was the master of "Flower Butterfly" Xue Chong.

"With the power of my and Xiaomu's double swords, after a fierce battle, I finally captured him." Cao Bing said proudly.

The eight-shaped swordsmen talked about the battle process at that time, and they all said that they had seen it with their own eyes, how heroic Cao Bing was, and how he fought fiercely with the gray bat...... The direct spit flies, and the tongue spits lotus.

The eight-shaped swordsman chattered endlessly about Cao Bing's heroic deeds, as if he wanted to suppress Zhang Yanqi and earn some face for Cao Bing.

But Zhang Yanqi had no intention of comparing at all, he was just thinking that he would be able to return to the Heavenly Star Academy soon, and when he returned to his cabin, he would finally be able to obtain peace.

In recent days, I have experienced too many battles and died too many people, such as the ape, the empty hand, the hairy tiger, and the Beidou Sword Venerable...... He didn't have time to digest these sorrows and feelings.

Now, the star has been handed over to Teacher Dugu, the task is complete, and he can finally return to the academy and relax.

He's not a man chasing fame and fortune, he just treats the stars as a task to complete.

What he has experienced and heard for a while has made him see the bloodshed and helplessness of the rivers and lakes, many battles seem to be inevitable, and many people seem to have their own reasons for killing, all of which make his heart chaotic and difficult to calm down.

It turns out that the rivers and lakes are like this, dark, bloody, conspiratorial, complicated...... But why is it the way it is?

No one could answer the doubts in his heart, and he really wanted to regain the peace he had when he didn't leave the Heavenly Star Academy, but perhaps, he couldn't go back.

I want to go back to my cabin and get some sleep, and then watch the stars in the sky with someone, and maybe forget all about this mundane......

-------------------------------------

Dugu Yun led the Celestial Star Swordsman back to the Celestial Star Academy.

The eight-shaped swordsman was still noisy on the road.

Everyone wanted to go out of the city from the north gate of Dongluo City, Tianshui Gate, and came to the city gate, but found that there were piles of ash and rubble everywhere.

It turned out that the city gate collapsed due to the previous earthquake, and the workers were repairing it, and it was not allowed to pass.

Everyone had no choice but to take a detour. They turned west to pass through the Wangxi Lakeside Corridor in the west of the city, where they found that the Lakeside Corridor had become a lake that had been flooded by a previous earthquake that had overflowed the lake.

Zhang Yanqi saw the chaotic scene in Dongluo City all the way, the city gate collapsed, the lake flooded, and heard the senior brother talk about the time of the earthquake, it was when he turned into a blood demon and fought against the fog hidden demon spider, and couldn't help but guess that this earthquake was caused by himself.

He said to himself, "If it was really me who caused the earthquake, then I would be guilty of a great sin." It seems that it is not necessarily a good thing for a person to have too much power in his hands. ”

"Once the success is done, the bones are dry, the dragon stirs the water, and the fish in the pond are affected, and the hero and king do things, and they have always taken care of ordinary people, which is normal."

The sound of the purple night came from the umbrella, and only he could hear it.

Zhang Yanqi said: "If that's the case, then I'd rather not be a hero king." ”

"Do you think that heroes are so easy to be, the supreme king, ruthless, scheming as deep as the abyss, and the joy and anger are invisible......"

The lake is difficult to cross, it is late today, and if you want to cross the lake, you can only wait for the ferry tomorrow morning.

The Celestial Swordsman prepares to set up camp on the shores of the lake.

Teacher Duguyun, who led the team, had hidden worries and summoned Cangmu to discuss with Cao Bing.

Dugu Yun said: "In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the three of us took the stars tonight and rented a boat to cross the lake." With the martial arts of the three of us, we should be able to arrive at the academy tomorrow morning. ”

Cangmu and Cao Bing glanced at each other, and they both understood what Teacher Dugu meant. The star is here, I'm afraid that the dark star demon will come to snatch it at night, so it's better to hurry back to the academy.

Cang Mu looked around at the other swordsmen who were busy around him, and said in a low voice: "We can go, but leave them here, once the Dark Star Demon attacks tonight, they are not opponents, and they will be wiped out." ”

Cao Bing agreed with Cangmu's point of view, he had an excellent relationship with the eight-shaped swordsman, especially the "swallow-shaped sword" Xue Yueren.

Cangmu suggested that everyone get together and form a sword formation to defend against the enemy.

Cao Bing also said: "Teacher Dugu, I'm still afraid that they won't come." You think, Zhang Yanqi and Qin Xingyun are people from the Eastern District Sword Hall, and they have made such a great contribution, and since then, the Sword Hall has pressed us to serve the Sword Hall. The wind sword and the fire sword press your fairy sword and the thunder sword, if so, it is better to win a big battle, so as to raise your eyebrows. ”

Skystar Academy is divided into East and West Zones:

The Eastern District Sword Hall is presided over by Ou Yeqian, the "Sword Casting Master" of the three supervisors, and Ye Chengfeng, the "Wind Sword", and Zhu Qian, the "Fire Sword", are responsible for teaching.

The Fengjian Hall in the West District was presided over by Tian Yinzi, the "Master of the Sword Pavilion" of the three supervisors, and Peng Lie, the "Thunder Sword", and Duguyun, the "Flying Immortal Sword", were responsible for teaching.

The East District and the West District, the Shijian Hall and the Fengjian Hall, although they are consistent with the outside world, but the internal relationship is competitive.

The Seventeen Swords of the Heavenly Star, which is the strongest in the academy, also belong to the eastern and western districts. In the past two years, due to the strong rise of the "Molong Sword" Beichuan Fei, he belongs to the Eastern District, so the Sword Hall has a faint meaning of overpowering the Fengjian Hall.

Beichuan Fei is the nephew of the big director, and Ye Chengfeng, the "wind sword", is the apprentice of the big director, and the disciples of the eastern district generally think that the big director Beichuan is proud of the eastern district, and they are quite unconvinced.

"Flying Immortal Sword" Duguyun, "Wood Spirit Sword" Cangmu, "Divine Eye Sword" Cao Bing, and the group of swordsmen led by them all belong to the Fengjian Hall in the Western District. When they saw Zhang Yanqi and Qin Xingyun, the two people in the Eastern District, obtaining the Celestial Star, they were both envious and jealous, and it was no wonder that the Eight Swordsmen would say those words.

Dugu Yun, as the teacher in charge of the western area of Tianxing Academy, is ranked among the seventeen swords of Tianxing, and is nicknamed "Flying Immortal Sword". He carries nine long swords behind his back, and can control nine swords at the same time, and defeat the enemy together.

But over the years, Dugu Yun has been suppressed by the other three swords, "Wind Thunder Fire Immortal", Wind Sword, Thunder Sword, Fire Sword, his fairy sword can only be ranked last.

At this moment, his hidden pain was being said by Cao Bing.

Dugu Yun calculated in his heart, what Cao Bing said was reasonable, the new death of Jian Zun was a good time for promotion, if he could win a big victory, it would definitely make the big supervisor look at him differently, he would definitely overpower the three swords of wind, thunder and fire, and it would also make the Sword Hall dare not underestimate them again.

Once you have the heart to compete for power and profit, you will regard conservatism as cowardice, risk as risk, and radicality as pride.

But will naivety get what people want?

The Celestial Star swordsmen camped on the lakeside, and Lone Cloud organized all the swordsmen to form a defensive sword formation.

The task of guarding the gray bat and the flower butterfly was handed over to Zhang Yanqi and Qin Xingyun.

With nothing to do, Qin Xingyun happened to ask about the future of the Little Seven Phoenix Cave and how to defeat the Fog Hidden Demon Spider.

Zhang Yanqi told her that it was the Beidou Sword Venerable who helped her with the body of the Yuan Spirit.

Qin Xingyun was greatly surprised when he heard this, only then did he understand that Xiao Qi had already known that Jian Zun had returned to heaven, no wonder he was not surprised at all when he heard the news of Jian Zun's death in the inn.

"Alas, you are always so lucky, you can see the last face of Lord Jianzun, that is what many swordsmen dream of, of course, including me......"

Qin Xingyun looked at himself and shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Yanqi could see that Qin Xingyun was a very proud person, and he didn't want her to be too uncomfortable, so he didn't mention the matter of the Beidou heirs.

The two talked about Mao Hu again, and they both sighed.

Zhang Yanqi asked, "If Brother Mao Hu hadn't died, would you have become friends with him?" ”

Qin Xingyun said: "Maybe, who knows......"

Zhang Yanqi smiled and said: "I know that you are all people who are cold on the outside and kind on the inside, and you will definitely become friends." ”

Qin Xingyun turned his head and said proudly: "You are not me, how do you know!" I'll never be friends with the Dark Star Demon. ”

Although she said this, Zhang Yanqi saw the tears in the corners of her eyes, and it seemed that she was also missing Mao Hu. After all, the three of them had fought with such a terrible spider monster beast in such a dangerous spider cave, and the three of them worked together to kill the ghost-faced spider and fight the fog hidden demon spider side by side.

The Si people have passed away, and the meditation remains.

At night, the moon gradually rises, and the lakeside is not as noisy as the city, there is a rare quiet.

Zhang Yanqi was at the water's edge, looking from afar, the slim lake was lying there quietly, a moonlight floated on the water, and the moonlight flowed quietly.

Occasionally, I can hear the whispers of the brothers laughing, but in addition, the water is not happy, and everything is silent. He couldn't help but think, how big the world is, how small the human race is, no matter how strong a swordsman is, even if he is as strong as the Beidou Sword Venerable, he can't compete with the fate of heaven and earth, how can a small human being get along with this boundless universe of heaven and earth......

Thinking about it, I didn't feel a little sleepy and took a nap.

Suddenly, I heard someone behind me shouting that he was thirsty and wanted water to drink, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Hua Butterfly Xue Chong. Xue Chong's mouth was dry and his expression was depressed, it seemed that he was not lightly injured.

Zhang Yanqi was about to get water.

The eight-shaped swordsman surrounded him and ridiculed Xue Chong.

"Where is the arrogance you had when you broke into the Celestial Star Academy at night, why are you now wagging your tail at us like a dog and begging for mercy."

Xue Chong begged: "I'm so thirsty, please give me some water to drink." ”

The eight-shaped swordsman refused to give him water to drink.

The gray bat next to him said in a low and hoarse voice, "Xue Chong, don't drink their water." ”

Xue Chong still pleaded.

The gray bat said angrily, "You don't even listen to Master's words anymore. ”

The eight-shaped swordsman turned to taunt the gray bat.

"Dragon-shaped sword" Gongsun Tang squinted at the gray bat and said, "The four beasts under the poisonous dragon seat, the golden toad fire leopard beast and the bat. You old bat is also famous in the northern rivers and lakes, why did you become a prisoner and a laughing stock in the rivers and lakes as soon as you arrived in my Southern Dynasty, how do you feel? ”

The gray bat does not speak.

"Monkey-shaped sword" Shi Saburo had a reckless personality, and scolded directly: "What kind of bullshit four beast disciples, they are not the opponent of the Seventeen Swords of Tianxing at all." ”

"Crane-shaped sword" Qiu Rong said: "I have also heard of the name of the gray bat, but I didn't expect him to be an old man. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, his martial arts have long been outdated, and he will definitely not be able to keep up with the fighting rhythm of young people in this era. ”

"Reasonable, reasonable!" The rest of the eight-shaped swordsmen all smiled in agreement.

"It's not like this", Zhang Yanqi disagreed, "Four beasts, they ...... It's not simple, for example, the 'fire leopard' Situ Xuan, I have seen it, and his martial arts are quite powerful. ”

"Swallow-shaped sword" Xue Yueren glanced at him, her delicate face showed disdain, and retorted to him: "Your little martial arts, you don't look at anyone's power." Hmph, that fire leopard, wasn't it defeated by Ding Feng and them in the Jinxiang Mansion, if it weren't for Ding Feng and the other five swords who defeated the demon general and rescued you, you would have died in the Jinxiang Mansion. ”

What Xue Yueren said was exactly the opposite of the facts, it was Zhang Yan's seven forces that defeated the demon generals, but if he didn't say it, Ding Feng and the others didn't say it, who would have thought about it. He had an agreement with Ding Feng and the others, and did not mention the details of the battle of the Golden Minister's Mansion, so outsiders thought that Ding Feng and the others had defeated Situ and the group of dark star demon generals.
