In the southern region of smoke and rain, a school palace hidden in the mountains somewhere.

"It's been six years...... So long has passed in the blink of an eye. A young man in white lay on the floor, looking at the ceiling and muttering to himself.

"Zhou Qingdu, in just three years, you can learn everything, which is already very good." There was a white-clothed Confucian beside the young man in white, who said with a smile.

It has indeed been six years since the young man in white embarked on the path of cultivation. However, it has only been three years since I came to this school palace.

In the past three years, Zhou Qingdui has followed the white-clothed Confucian Ye Jing'an to cultivate penance, and his strength and cultivation are far from being comparable to the original.

It's just that he has changed from a teenager to a young man in a blink of an eye.

In an instant, he was already twenty-two years old.

Zhou Qingwan got up from the floor and asked, "Mr. Ye, how long do I have to go?" ”

Why is the young man in white in a hurry to leave? Nobody knows. Probably missing the days when I was drifting on the rivers and lakes with two people and a certain plain woman I hadn't seen in six years.

Ye Jingan held the scroll in his hand and smiled: "There is one last thing, after that, you can do what you want." ”

"Is it that academy Dabi?" Zhou Qingwan asked.

Ye Jing'an nodded with a smile and said, "If it is best to win some face for our vein in the academy, in fact, I think this kind of formal thing doesn't matter, but some old guys have to see it with their own eyes." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I won't let you down!" Zhou Qingdui immediately smiled when he heard this, he was still full of confidence in his current self!

The Great Competition of Academies is a contest between the genius disciples of all the branch academies under the Confucianism and Taoism Palace, which is used to test the current talent level of the disciples of the major academies. As the largest Confucian and Taoist holy place in Yanyu Nanzhou, the Confucian and Taoist Academy not only has many disciples, but also symbolizes the hope of Confucianism and Taoism inheritance! Every three years, the masters of the major academies will select the young disciples of the academies to come to the Confucian and Taoist Palace for a college competition.

The reason why Zhou Qingdui is confident is that now, after following Ye Jing'an's three-year penance, now his kendo cultivation has reached a shackle and peak, and his own cultivation has reached the peak of returning to the purity realm. Just one step away, you can step into the primordial god realm, which is known as the land immortal! Of course, there is another reason, which is that he has to do this mission well, because he still has people to meet and things to do! Take 10,000 steps back, if he doesn't behave well, he will be ashamed of Ye Jing'an's careful teaching in the past three years!

The Confucian monk only smiled slightly at this time, walked out of the room, looked at the sky and said, "It's okay, just do your best." ”

"You haven't fought anyone in three years, so practice your sword well!" Before Ye Jingan left, he didn't forget to ask him.

"Hmm!" Zhou Qingdui looked at the back of his husband leaving, and nodded heavily.

In the past three years, Zhou Qingdu's heart is very grateful to this Mr. Ye, who has always only shown a gentle appearance. Since Mr. Ye's preaching and teaching paved the way for him to become an immortal six years ago, Zhou Qingwan has been grateful. Although Ye Jing'an didn't say anything about these nominal things on his face, Zhou Qingdui knew very well that Mr. Ye wanted to prove his family inheritance more than anyone else!

Immediately after, after Ye Jing'an left. Zhou Qingdui took out his sword in the clearing, and it was still the Burial Immortal Sword. Zhou Qingdui practiced the sword like this, and every move and style was no longer as young as it was at the beginning.

The minutes and seconds passed quickly, and the sun was in the sky, and it was noon.

Zhou Qingdui put away his sword and walked down the mountain.

The Confucian and Taoist Palace is located in the spiritual mountain in a cave blessed land, and the peaks are gathered. Zhou Qingdu's daily practice is on the top of this Spring and Autumn Peak, but what makes him a little distressed is that the place to eat is at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, Zhou Qingdui has to go up and down the mountain three times a day.

Zhou Qingdui walked leisurely down the bluestone steps down the mountain, and stopped when he reached the mountainside. The young man in white turned his head to look, and there was a school over there, and the sound of reading came loudly. Zhou Qingwan has been enjoying this kind of time very much recently, listening to those young children read, as if he was once among them.

Zhou Qingwan sat up on the steps and put the sword in his hand into the black scabbard. This scabbard was given to him by Mr. Ye when he finally came to the Confucian and Taoist Palace three years ago. Ye Jingan said with a smile at the time that this scabbard has spirituality and has the same use as a sword raiser. Zhou Qingwan was reluctant to accept it at first, and the gentle Mr. Ye just said at the time, "This is not a rare spiritual treasure, but it was given by Li Qiubai at the beginning, but unfortunately I have never practiced swords, and it is like nothing in my hands." Today I give it to you, and it can be regarded as a legacy. ”

After thinking about it at that time, Zhou Qingduan, a young man, felt that what Mr. Ye said seemed to be reasonable. He learned his sword from Li Qiubai, and he came to the Confucianism and Taoism Palace precisely because he wanted to learn the way of cultivation from Mr. Ye, and he could also be regarded as an apprentice. Therefore, I accepted it.

Zhou Qingdui sat on the bluestone steps, listening to the sound of reading aloud in his ears, remembering his trip to the rivers and lakes three years ago, the genius Huo Xiu who always liked to touch the crotch of his pants, the tall boy with strong boxing skills, and the girl in Tsing Yi and the girl in plain clothes who accompanied him in just three months but could not forget.

Unconsciously, the young sword cultivator's spirit and soul wandered away. The scenes of the past kept appearing in front of Zhou Qingdu's eyes, as if he had taken a spring and autumn trip.

When the scene in front of Zhou Qingdu's eyes stopped at this Confucian and Taoist palace, it came to an abrupt end. His mind also woke up quietly with a childish childish voice.

"Brother Twilight, why are you sitting here in a daze? If you don't eat, you won't be there! ”

Zhou Qingdui's eyes returned to a clear place, and a little girl in a big red dress squeezed her little fist and knocked her head.

"Xiao Ling'er, what did you just say?" Zhou Qingdui was vague, as if he heard her say, "Don't have anything to eat?" ", immediately spoke.

The little girl seemed to be a little angry that Zhou Qingdui didn't listen to her well, waved her little fist, and said, "I said! I'm running out of food right away! ”

"Huh? Xiao Ling'er, I'll go to dinner first, and I'll come back to play with you later. Hearing this, Zhou Qingwan grabbed the sword placed on the ground, pulled out his legs and ran down the mountain, while running, he didn't forget to talk to the little girl.

When the little girl saw Zhou Qingdui's appearance, she crossed her hands on her waist and sighed very old-fashionedly. The little girl in red is named Zhang Chuchu, but everyone in Chunqiu Peak likes to call him by his nickname, Xiao Ling'er.

The first meeting between the little girl and Zhou Qingdu, Zhou Qingdui stood on the mountain peak to practice swords according to Mr. Ye's request. Zhou Qingdui was learning a new sword move at that time, and practiced it seriously. Unexpectedly, this little creature skipped school and climbed to the top of the mountain, and was hiding behind a rock to rest in the shade. Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingdu's sword qi directly split the big stone. The little girl was so frightened that she was sweating profusely, thinking that Mr. Gakujuku had found this place and wanted to take her own life!

Zhou Qingwan walked over step by step, listening to the footsteps, the little girl's soul was about to be frightened. When the footsteps stopped, there was only a voice in the little girl's ear that was not rigid and stern, "Little one, it's dangerous here, go back quickly!" ”

When Xiao Ling'er heard this, she gasped a few times fiercely, and then turned to look at the young sword cultivator.

"My name is Xiao Ling'er, not a little guy!" The little girl looked at Zhou Qingdu, who was considered good, and patted her chest again before opening her mouth to introduce herself.

Zhou Qingdui stuck his sword on the ground and nodded with a smile: "My name is Zhou Qingdui!" ”

Subsequently, Xiao Ling'er thought about it, and still truthfully told Zhou Qingwan the reason why she was here. After all, it was she who affected the cultivation of the person in front of her. Mr. once said that if you only care about your own freedom, but affect the freedom of others, it is not right.

Zhou Qingwan frowned when he heard this, and insisted on sending her back.

When Xiao Ling'er heard this, she immediately said pitifully to Zhou Qingdui: "I told my husband that I didn't go to school because I was sick today, and I will definitely be punished by my husband again if I go back like this." Brother Twilight, you just allow me to play here for a while, just for a while. As she spoke, Xiao Ling'er stretched out a finger, her eyes full of begging.

Zhou Qingdui sat down, faced Xiao Ling'er, and thought for a while before nodding in agreement. However, Zhou Qingwan still said firmly that he could only play for a while.

Xiao Ling'er immediately showed a smile after hearing this, and jumped towards Zhou Qingdu. Seeing her like this, Zhou Qingdui wanted to dodge, but he was worried that the little guy would fall, so he sat in place and didn't move. Unexpectedly, the little guy did not pounce on him at all, but ran towards the place behind him. Rao is Zhou Qingdui couldn't help but scratch his head a little embarrassed.

This little guy is really clever, and in just a few moments, it's time for the school to get out of school. So, Zhou Qingdui and Xiao Ling'er went down the mountain to eat together. Don't look at the little guy's small body, he is extremely skilled and light up and down the mountain, obviously not the first time he has run all over the mountain.

After that, every time after lunch, the little girl would always run up the mountain to play with Zhou Qingdu. In fact, most of the time, it is the little girl who plays by herself, and Zhou Qingdui is practicing on the side. Mr. Ye bumped into him many times, and the little girl would immediately and respectfully shout "I've seen Mr. Ye", probably because Mr. Ye was not her husband, so she was not afraid. Mr. Ye has no opinion on this, and occasionally answers the little guy's questions. Occasionally, Zhou Qingdui would chat with her and ask some interesting facts about the school.

The little girl will also tell him eloquently, for example, a little boy in the school was spanked by the husband because he did not complete the homework assigned by the husband. When I returned, I wiped my face with snot and tears. Or, when the gentleman talks about an ancient text that he doesn't understand, many of the children in the school will lie on the table or doze off, or look out the window in a daze. She was caught by her husband once dozing off, and as a result, she was punished for copying several times. Of course, there are also concealments, such as the books on the table full of her drool, and there are several obvious red marks on her face when she was punished by her husband for standing.

Many times, twenty-two-year-old Zhou Qingdui looked at six-year-old Xiao Ling'er, as if he could see that if his life had not been so changed and bumpy, he might have experienced the same life.

The big dream is gone in spring and autumn, how can a teenager be a teenager for a long time?
