It's night.

The starry sky is shining.

Above the clouds above Qingping Mountain, Qin Jiu's clothes fluttering with a sword box on his back, a pair of eyes staring at the whirlpool of the sky, and the whole person did not move.

Suddenly, a pillar of lightning-like light emerged from the depths of the whirlpool, and a golden dragon claw seemed to crush the sky nebula, breaking through the boundary.

Qingping Mountain is silent, and everything in Qingyunmen is the same.

In the depths of the stars, there was a surge of wind and clouds, lightning and thunder, and the balls of light gathered between the claws were mixed with the breath of destruction.

In the depths of the firmament, a giant eye slowly opened, and the light curtain under the dark sky gradually condensed into a cold face.

Airplanes!

The sword box on Qin Jiu's back was glowing with bursts of blue light.

Ancient swords!

A sword came out and disappeared into the sky.

A moment later, a sword light appeared in that distant place.

The face that had not yet fully condensed split a crack in the middle and rapidly expanded, the twisted mask mixed with anger, and the eye became as bright as a dark red star.

The golden dragon claws dissipated into the depths of the stars.

It is like a beautiful night view of the heavenly river.

It hasn't been gone for a long time.

"What a bold man to disrupt the order."

Whispering voices echoed through the firmament before vanishing.

That sword returned to Qin Jiu's sword box.

A moment later, his figure appeared in Qingping Mountain, sitting cross-legged in place, his body straight, but his face seemed to be a little older.

This night.

Gu Yusheng slept a little unsteadily.

There was an inexplicable restlessness in my heart.

It's not because of the trivial things encountered in the sect when testing the Yuan Fetus.

It's a feeling of indescribability.

Can't sleep in the middle of the night.

Gu Yusheng simply didn't sleep anymore.

came to the peach blossom courtyard and sat alone under the eaves.

Just stared blankly at the starry sky.

What Mr. Qin said to him during the day reverberated in his mind at this time.

Clearer.

The clouds under the stars obscured his eyes.

But the Demon Suppression Monument was very clear in his eyes.

Staring at staring.

He felt that the Demon Suppression Monument was like a sword, a sword with a sharp blade against the sky.

It's obviously very tall, but it's still so small compared to the sky.

And he was countless times smaller than that Demon Suppression Monument.

Sword.

What is it?

Gu Yusheng asked himself secretly.

It was as if he was asking questions to the stars.

He subconsciously grasped the wooden sword at his waist.

When the wooden sword was in his hand, the ethereal feeling in his heart instantly became much more steady.

Gu Yusheng raised the wooden sword in his hand little by little.

Gaze at the days when it was by his side.

It's so ordinary.

It was so ordinary that he was broken and stepped on the ground by the head of Qingyunmen in public.

But it's so unusual.

It used to be a sword carved by my father from cutting off the branches of the peach demon.

Recalling the year when I was in Qingyunmen with a wooden sword, day and night.

Practicing swords, training, and distress.

It was cared for by Miss Mo and returned to him, so that he could regain the motivation to move forward in the lowest days.

Gradually.

Gu Yusheng's eyes lit up.

He suddenly understood.

What is a sword?

Don't ask the sky.

It's a sword.

He had a secret grudge against his father's unsheathed sword, and he had secretly vowed to pull out the shame.

He also asked himself countless times, did his father's guardian sword really protect himself?

Now.

Gu Yusheng understood!

- Yes, it has always been there, and silently accompanied him.

He never threw away the wooden sword in his hand.

Then it's the sword of guardianship that my father said!

It's actually out of the sheath for a long time.

Just like the Demon Monument of the Town.

Silently to the sky!

Gu Yusheng stood up little by little.

He clenched the wooden sword in his hand and raised it little by little.

His eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

This moment.

He is no longer confused!

He comprehended the true meaning of the wooden sword in his hand.

That is the sword intent he is looking for-the sword of protection, not to protect the common people, nor to protect the avenue.

Not so profound and great.

It is the heavy blood relatives of the son inheriting the father.

What is gone is forever gone.

Protect what your heart wants to protect.

And he drew his sword bravely, and drew his sword.

That's what it's all about him holding a sword!

A smile gradually appeared on Gu Yusheng's face.

This life.

I have to live well.

Finding the meaning of being alive.

Don't be bound by the world, don't be trapped in a square inch.

Being in this peach blossom forest, my heart yearns for this world.

If there is injustice in this world, and you encounter it, you will use the sword to test the world.

If there is a demon in this world.

Then it's a sword slash.

If there were any other people in this world who were worth cherishing...... Then he will definitely cherish it.

Gu Yusheng no longer looked at the sky.

He ran to the thatched hut and the wooden bed, secretly pinched the red rope and hairpin beads in the palm of his hand, and whispered alone: "Qingping Mountain, Miss Mo is good to me, Master and his old man are also very good to me, I am no longer an orphan that no one cares about." ”

The young man stood in place in a daze, and couldn't help but reddened his eyes.

……

The next day at noon.

Gu Yusheng brought the newly brewed peach blossom wine, took advantage of the breeze to walk in the mountain stream, his steps were brisk, the mountain climbing was like the wind, and he came to the flat place where he learned swords in the past, and Gu Yusheng ran to the stone.

Pass a full jug of wine to both hands.

"Sir, this year's newly brewed peach blossom wine has opened the altar, you can drink some."

Gu Yusheng said, and took out a few pieces of peach blossom cake from the basket he was carrying in his left hand.

"Sir, this is what I learned to make, put some honey, I think the taste should be okay, Miss Mo has eaten it, and I am full of praise."

Qin Jiu, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone, slowly opened his eyes, he stretched out his hand to take the wine handed over by Gu Yusheng, took a big sip of the pot, and then picked up another piece of peach slice cake and gently put it in his mouth to chew.

"The wine is good, this cake is also very good, but it is a little sweet, the little girl likes it, and I, the old man, will taste the taste."

Qin Jiu's voice was a little hoarse and said, as long as Gu Yusheng was not practicing with a sword in his hand, his eyes when he looked at Gu Yusheng were always so soft, without a little shelf.

Gu Yusheng sat on the ground, leaning his back against the stone, he felt that this was like leaning on Mr. Qin's side, his heart was stable, he put a piece of peach cake in his mouth and chewed, and also picked up his spirit gourd and gently sipped wine.

The afterglow swept over Qin Jiu's face who was drinking, and Gu Yusheng's action of taking the peach slice cake suddenly froze, his eyes widened, and he turned around suddenly.

His mentor.

Overnight, the temples were frosty white, and the face was old.

"Sir."

Gu Yusheng's voice trembled a little, his eyes were full of complexity, he put down the wine gourd, and the peach slice cake in his mouth no longer tasted.

"I'm fine."

Qin Jiu gently patted Gu Yusheng's shoulder with his hand.

"People will be old, of course I will be old, the wind in Qingping Mountain is a little strong, and it will be like this overnight."

Qin Jiu got up from the stone, took a few steps forward, and twisted his beard and said, "Child, I sense the wooden sword on your waist whispering, you should have found your own way, this is good." ”

Qin Jiu smiled.

Gu Yusheng pulled out the wooden sword at his waist and held it in his hand.

Towards Qin wine.

Qin Jiu calmly accepted Gu Yusheng's salute, and said in a deep voice: "You have a sword in your hand, you already have a sharp weapon by your side, when I have time to find a sword scabbard for you, the sword is sharp and hurts others and yourself, and when you cultivate deeper, you will be able to understand, today, you don't have to practice sword moves, sit down, I will teach you the ability to hide the sword in your body." ”
