【Wedge】The taste of sorrow at the beginning of the youth Chapter 4 Red Dust
"Where is this? And the gentleman who just spoke, come out! Zhou Qingdui saw that there was no one around, and shouted loudly.
"Hey, anyone?" Seeing that no one responded, the young man shouted a few more times, and secretly felt bad in his heart, he wouldn't be thrown into this hall where no one was around, right?
"No need to shout, he can't get in." At some point, behind the desk with three wooden boxes in the center of the hall, a young man in green clothes and a hat appeared, holding a sword with its scabbard closed. This person is handsome, and he is born as a stunning woman in the world, but his eyes are indifferent, as if there is no more thing he cares about in the world.
"Who are you?" Zhou Qingdui didn't see this person when he came in, and there was no one else here, so Zhou Qingdui asked.
"Me? Probably the guardian of this place. The young man in Tsing Yi spoke lightly.
"Guardians? What about the gentleman who brought me in just now? Why can't he come in? Zhou Qingdui continued to ask.
"Only you can enter this place except me. So naturally he couldn't get in. The young man in Tsing Yi still spoke lightly.
"Only I can come in, why?" Zhou Qingwan didn't understand it when he heard this, he was born with nothing special, the only thing that was special was his blood, which was claimed to "break all prohibitions". Even a certain Taoist's pet shook his head, which is really a rare "mediocre" in this world.
"You don't deserve to know now." The young man in Tsing Yi spoke indifferently, as if he was saying something that could not be taken for granted.
Hearing this, the young man, who had always had a good temper, suddenly became a little angry and said, "I don't deserve to know, why did you let me in?" And why am I not worthy? ”
The young man in Tsing Yi glanced at the young man's angry appearance, chuckled, and said indifferently: "Just because I'm better than you." Is this reason enough? ”
"Of course, if you can beat me here, I can answer all your questions right now. Do you dare to make a move?" The young man in Tsing Yi, who called himself the "guardian" of this place, looked at the young man in front of him who seemed to be stimulated by his words, and added a few more words.
"You!" Zhou Qingwan only said one word for a long time, and his fists were clenched. I lowered my head and didn't know what to think, as if I had figured it out, I actually ran towards the youth in the center.
This sixteen-year-old boy really dared to attack him? The young man in Tsing Yi couldn't help but be surprised.
When the boy ran to a foot away from the young man, he threw a punch, and the young man in Tsing Yi did not dodge. Just when the boy thought that his fist was about to hit the target, the sword in the arms of the young man in Tsing Yi flew out together with the scabbard and hit the boy's chest directly, and the boy flew out a few feet upside down in an instant. 、
"Do you really think that you can defeat me without any cultivation?" The young man in Tsing Yi spoke indifferently.
Zhou Qingdui got up from the ground and saw clearly the weapon that defeated him, the unsheathed long sword, and the word "Absolute Immortal" was engraved on the hilt.
"I don't think I can beat my predecessors, but my seniors just asked me if I dare to make a move, if I don't give it a try, I will disappoint my seniors, and I won't be able to pass the level in my heart." Zhou Qingwan said slowly.
Obviously unconvinced, he said these words so seriously. It's really like the words that only those old foxes in Confucianism can say, and it's really interesting. Alright, boy. You don't have much time to spend here, so let's get down to business. Hearing this, the young man in Tsing Yi remembered a certain white-clothed Confucian who had no lower limit, and spoke.
"Business?" Zhou Qingwan wondered.
"Since you're here, take one of these three boxes with you. As for what you want to know, you will know when the time comes. The young man in Tsing Yi withdrew his sword and pointed to the three wooden boxes in front of him.
Zhou Qingdui did not hesitate when he heard this, got up and walked to the wooden table with a three-sided wooden box in the center of the main hall. He looked at the three wooden boxes carefully, and found no difference, so he picked up the middle one.
"Do you want to open it now? Predecessor. Zhou Qingdui asked.
"Open it. The prohibition above can be broken with a drop of your blood. The young man in Tsing Yi replied.
So, Zhou Qingwan bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the wooden box, and then gently opened the wooden box. When you open it, you will see a simple long sword, the body of which is rusty and not sharp. There was also a small milky white porcelain vase next to the sword, about the length of a finger.
The young man in Tsing Yi also saw the simple long sword in the box at this time, Gu Jing Wubo's expression changed slightly, and then he sighed and said, "Zhou Qingdui, apprentice." ”
"Apprenticeship?" Zhou Qingdui was puzzled.
"If you want to learn swords, if you want to learn, you should hurry up and apprentice, and it will be too late to regret it when you go out." The young man in Tsing Yi remembered the agreement with someone at this time.
"I want to learn, of course I want to learn. But my talent has been very poor since I was a child, and I am worried that I will not be able to practice the sword in my hand and insult the prestige of my predecessors. ”
Zhou Qingwan wanted to become a sword cultivator who could fight the sword rivers and lakes when he was a child, and at this time, someone was willing to teach him to use a sword, so he was naturally willing to learn, but unfortunately his talent was too poor and he didn't dare to apprentice.
"Extremely poorly aptitude? Don't say such things in the future, from today you are the third disciple of my Li Qiubai, no matter how bad your talent is, I will definitely let you go to your own path along the way of the sword. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Qingdui no longer hesitated and bowed to his teacher.
"The disciple will not dishonor the expectations of the master!"
"Alright, boy. When you officially embark on the path of cultivation, I will start teaching you sword practice. As for cultivation, you don't need to worry, someone will teach you when you go out. From today onwards, you will need to practise the basic sword moves every day. At this time, the young man in Tsing Yi took off the hat on his head and spread out his white hair.
Zhou Qingdui wanted to say something, but soon, the vision became blurred. When I opened my eyes again, my vision had changed to Miss Lin, who was fighting hard against the enemy.
"What just happened?" Zhou Qingwan only felt that he had had a long dream, and when he looked down at the ancient long sword in his hand, he was holding a small porcelain bottle in his right hand.
"I'm sure you've seen him already, right?" At this time, Zhou Qingdu's ears sounded that gentle voice again.
"Are you talking about Master Li Qiubai?" Zhou Qingdui turned his head, and he didn't know when there was an extra white-clothed Confucian beside him.
This is the first time Zhou Qingdui has seen the true appearance of the person who often speaks in his ear, and the temperament on his body is very similar to that of a teacher in the world.
"Master? It seems that he ...... Anyway, I'm here to tell you one thing and ask you another, you've been battered, and now you have less than three years left to live. Zhou Qingdu, if you want to practice the sword in your hand well, follow me for three years from today to increase your longevity through cultivation. On the other hand, if you are still willing to follow that demon girl, I will help that demon girl leave with you, and I will prolong your life for 60 years with a unique method, but you must promise me that you will not embark on the path of cultivation in the future. From the moment you enter there, your life is no longer your own, can you think clearly? The white-clothed Confucian changed his usual gentleness, and his face was more serious than ever.
Hearing that he had less than three years left to live, Zhou Qingdui was not afraid and cowardly. After listening to the words of the white-clothed Confucian man, an indescribable seriousness appeared on his face.
"Sir, take me away."
The young Zhou Qingwan has been burdened with a monstrous blood feud since he was a child, but he still doesn't know who killed his father. For more than ten years, all he has known is that he has lost his father and mother since he was a child. He thought about following Miss Lin to live in her hometown, but now that he has lived less than three years, he is just adding to Lin Chengshuang's burden. He actually understood in his own heart, in today's world, how could he, a human boy, live in peace and quiet in the realm of the demon clan? Asking a girl who has only known each other for less than three months to protect herself for the rest of her life is undoubtedly what Zhou Qingwan does not want to see. He wants to become stronger, he wants to slash his enemies, he wants to know the truth about the death of his parents, and he wants to protect everything he wants to protect. So how could he make the choice to live in the world? Although he didn't know what the white-clothed Confucian in front of him meant, "Your life will no longer belong to you", maybe many years later, he would regret the choice he made today. Previously, there was a sword cultivator Li Qiubai who had advanced cultivation and accepted himself as an apprentice, and now there was a white-clothed Confucian who was willing to help him on the path of cultivation, so if he gave up, he was even more unwilling.
"Have you really figured it out? If you leave with me today, you will have no chance to repent. The white-clothed Confucian had never thought that the young man's decision would be so resolute, and he couldn't help but remind him again.
"Sir, I've thought about it. But there is still one thing to ask for, and I hope that Mr. can help Miss Lin go home safely. Zhou Qingdui nodded.
"Boy, now that the shemales are opposed, you want me to help a monster fight against the head of the Daomen Chen family, it's really troublesome. Either way. The white-clothed Confucian seemed to be a little helpless, and his doing so was tantamount to condemning the clan!
When the words fell, the middle-aged Confucian man in white did not hesitate too much, and stepped out into the place where the two were fighting. The barrier that troubled the young man didn't seem to stop the white-clothed Confucian in his footsteps, or maybe this barrier set up by the masters of the shemale and demon clans was useless to the person in front of him at all.
The white-clothed Confucian man was like the wind on the soles of his feet, although he did not fly, but his speed was extremely fast, and he was about to walk in front of the two people who were fighting in an instant.
This scene, Zhou Qingdui, who saw it outside the barrier, was dumbfounded.
"Shocking hexagram, purgatory just thunder!"
"Endless fist intent, fist technique, exorcism!"
Lin Chengshuang and Chen Jianqiu's moves are endless, and their spiritual power is constantly colliding. The battle was stalemate, and neither of them noticed that someone had quietly entered the area where they were fighting.
"Seal!"
Just when Chen Jianqiu wanted to continue to activate his supernatural powers, he was forcibly interrupted by the word "seal" by the white-clothed Confucian scholar.
"Say what you say? A word of supernatural powers? I don't know which one of the Confucians secretly made a move? Chen Jianqiu looked at the white-clothed Confucian who was not far away with his back to him.
The white-clothed Confucian man smiled softly, "I don't know why the Chen family master set up an isolation barrier here, with the Chen family master's cultivation strength, why should it be like this if it is just a demon?" ”
A trace of coldness flashed on Chen Jianqiu's face, and then returned to normal: "This seat has set up a barrier, naturally to prevent this demon girl from escaping. What's the problem? ”
"Prevent this demon from escaping? Chen Jianqiu, are you trying to prevent this demon from escaping or is it to isolate your fighting aura from being perceived by those in the city? The white-clothed Confucian turned around and stared straight at Chen Jianqiu, who had been hit by Lu Chengshuang's attack and was constantly dripping blood outwards at this time.
Chen Jianqiu saw the face of the comer clearly, recognized the identity of the white-clothed Confucian scholar, seemed to remember something, and said angrily: "Ye Jing'an! Why are you here? What do you mean by this? ”
"Master Chen, why be angry. I came here for this demon, and I promised a friend to save this girl beforehand, and I also hoped that the head of the Chen family would give me a few thin noodles and let this girl go. Ye Jing'an, a white-clothed Confucian scholar, bent down and bowed.
"Let her go? This is a demon, and now it has been cultivated to the realm of a half-step emperor, and it will definitely become a disaster for my human race one day. Ye Jing'an, do you have this face? Chen Jianqiu was furious, he never thought that the dignified Confucian cultivator in Nanzhou would now want him to let go of the great enemy of the human race.
"Your Excellency is half a realm above this girl, and at this time you have fought with this girl, but you have repeatedly fallen into disadvantage. Even if you don't make a move today, if this girl insists on escaping, can you stop it? If the head of the Chen family insists on not retreating, although he is not good at force, with the supernatural powers I have learned, I can still seal your cultivation for a day or two. Ye Jingan raised his waist and pointed to the plain-clothed girl beside him who was about to go out to find Zhou Qingdu.
"Ye Jing'an, do you know that this move violates the rules of humanity? If you insist on taking her away today, she will definitely be a great battle force of the demon race on the battlefield between our human race and the demon race. At that time, you Ye Jing'an are not afraid of ending up with everyone? Chen Jianqiu said in a deep voice. He couldn't imagine that the white-clothed Confucian in front of him really dared to say such a rebellious thing for this demon.
"Forgive for being bold, if there is such a day, Ye Jingan is willing to bear the charge and personally solve the disaster. I also hope that the head of the Chen family will back down for a while. Ye Jing'an didn't seem to be worried, and at this moment, he made a promise to the head of the Chen family, one of the nine major families of the Daomen.
"Good, good. I have used the Shadow Stone to record everything you just said, and I will not divulge this matter until this demon appears on the battlefield. Ye Jing'an, remember, this is the last time my Chen family will help you. I hope you can give me a good explanation of that. When Chen Jianqiu heard this, although he was angry, he finally agreed to it after thinking of something many years ago.
"The head of the Chen family can rest assured, that incident will definitely give the Chen family a perfect explanation for himself, please greet the old man Chen on my behalf, he will definitely visit him one day." Also, the head of the Chen family used the method of demon beast essence blood to improve his physical cultivation to withstand the backlash of the incarnation void thunder, so as to master the complete hexagram inheritance, this method is actually not very useful. One day, if you open up your own path of thunder, you will know how to solve the trigram inheritance. Let's go, girl. The white-clothed Confucian said frankly, and the last few sentences even showed the flaws in Chen Jianqiu's cultivation now, which was meaningful. then beckoned Lin Chengshuang to leave with him.
"Ye Jing'an, until you find the answer, father he won't see you. The inheritance of my Chen family, I will find a way myself, I advise you to leave quickly, the barrier has been broken, and soon someone will sense the breath of this demon. When Chen Jianqiu heard this, he remembered that his father had been in retreat since that incident, even before the retreat, after the old man of the Chen family heard about it, he was always worried, and often muttered in front of him, "Jin'er, my father is incompetent." So, soon after, the old man of the Chen family, who was famous all over the world, announced his resignation as the head of the Chen family, and handed over all the affairs of the family to the eldest son Chen Jianqiu to take care of, and he was in retreat at home.
......
"Girl, forgive me for breaking my word. At this point, I must take this young man away, and please accept this scroll to help her practice. Ye Jing'an, a white-clothed Confucian scholar, once again took out the scroll that he wanted to give to the plain-clothed girl when they met before.
Lin Chengshuang just glanced at Ye Jing'an, then turned his head to look at the young man who had been silent beside the two, and said softly: "You really decided to leave?" ”
"Hmm. Miss Lin, before leaving, I also have something for you. This is the jade pendant left to me by my mother, and it should be considered a valuable thing. In the future, I will follow Mr. Ye on a wandering out. This is the only thing my mother left me, the outside world is too dangerous, and if something happens, it may fall into the hands of others. From this day on, it will be handed over to the girl for safekeeping, and if I meet again in the future, I will be able to recognize the girl at a glance. Zhou Qingwan just said a soft "um" in the face of Lin Chengshuang's question. As he spoke, he took out a round jade pendant with extraordinary craftsmanship from the cuff, half of which was extremely turbid and half of which was jet black and half of which was clear white.
"Alright, who wants to see you again. Since you have decided to leave for yourself, I will not stop you. I hope you'd better make a name for yourself, after all, some people say that they will repay the favor in the future. Although Lin Chengshuang said this, he still mercilessly took away the jade pendant in the young man's hand.
Ye Jing'an, who was on the side, saw this jade pendant, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not reveal the mystery, but said to the plain-clothed girl: "Girl, this thing should have been stained with Zhou Qingdu's blood by chance, which can cover the girl's breath and help you cross the border safely." ”
Hearing this, Lin Chengshuang turned his head to look at the young man beside him, stretched out a hand to take the ancient scroll in Ye Jingqing's hand, and stepped out and flew towards the city not far away.
"Girl!" The boy stopped the plain-clothed girl who flew out a few meters again.
The plain girl stopped and turned to look at the boy.
"Take care.
