"Brother, what are you going to do in the sect?"

"Practice."

"I want to go too."

"Then go." Sun Zikai led Yang Youshi to Lao Yang and explained his intentions, Lao Yang directly refused, this is not to blame Lao Yang for being reluctant, why Lao Yang dared to make a life and death decision for Sun Zikai, it was because he knew very well that this kid was tough, and the death in the eyes of others was more like an opportunity for Sun Zikai, but it was not good to have food, the nine-year-old Youshi basically did not suffer under the care of everyone, she didn't even learn the word life, let alone go on a rampage.

Sun Zikai also thought the same, he didn't see the talent for food, and now the gatekeeper got two pieces of gold, which was enough for all the family members to live a prosperous life in the city.

But on the second day, Sun Zikai still found Lao Yang, just because when Sun Zikai explained the truth to Youshi last night, Youshi said: "Brother, I want to be like you, I am free, go out freely, and go back freely." ”

Lao Zhang and Lao Yang rarely reached a unified opinion on the child, and they resolutely opposed Sun Zikai's decision. Sun Zikai respected the two fathers very much, and made promises over and over again, but he couldn't change the minds of the two, until Youshi walked in and said, not leaving, thinking that as soon as she left, there would be no one to treat the guard, so she chose to give up. After Lao Yang heard this, he was silent for a long time, and finally decided to let Sun Zikai take food to the sect.

Sun Zikai and Lao Zhang were puzzled and confused by Lao Yang's decision again, but Lao Yang's decision was executed, and the carriage that came back to the desert continued to embark on the journey, but this time there was a little girl on the car.

This is the first time in seven years that Sun Zikai has embarked on the road to the city, and he has not returned since he entered the "Ansheng Pass". The three of them could only sit outside the car, because the carriage was full of large and small packages, and the guards and family members raised Yang Youshi since childhood, this girl was smart and cute, obedient and sensible, and she had already become everyone's goddaughter. Dozens of packages, half of which contained food and half of which contained clothes, made Sun Zikai sad.

"Are you going into the city?" Jiang Yujin asked.

"Well, I'd like to go back to my old home, and you can just wait outside the city." Sun Zikai parked the carriage outside the city and walked in alone.

There are no fewer beggars on the street, obviously there have been no barbarians breaking in these years, but this small city that was robbed twice seven years ago has still not turned over, and the reason is also very clear, fourteen cities, there is no clear order, and the resources are fixed and limited, the customs are not peaceful, only in the matter of guarding the pass, and the rest of the things are difficult to solve properly because of too much involvement.

Most people in the city gather by surname, and whichever clan has more people tends to be richer and more stable. The struggle of interests also revolves around the competition between clans and clans, and it is difficult to win in the end.

The Sun family, it is in the clan battle that the declining clan has not many people, and it is still scattered in various cities, and there is little contact, so the Sun family has lived a hard life.

After a while, a group of beggars stood in front of Sun Zikai, and under the long-term disorder, the hungry people have lost their minimum humanity, from begging at the beginning, to robbing.

Sun Zikai put his hands in his pockets and looked at them indifferently. The beggar is now the largest "clan" in the city, and the first beggar is only seventeen or eighteen years old, so he naturally does not take this eleven or twelve-year-old short boy seriously.

"Leave what's on you and."

Sun Zikai was silent for a moment, shook his head weakly, took out his left hand, put it on the scabbard of the long knife at his waist, and gently pushed it, and the cold light fell, "Do you want it?" ”

"I want it all."

"Oh, come and get it."

The beggar walked over and reached out to grab the knife, and at this moment, he and Sun Zikai met their eyes. Sun Zikai didn't look up, just raised his eyes to look at him without any emotion. The beggar was stunned for a moment, then continued to stretch out his hand, and suddenly, he snorted, and then turned to look at the cold face.

The beggar screamed, fell to the ground, crawled backwards in fright, and trembled, "Yes.... It's you...."

"It's me."

"You... You're back, you.... You're the little one who guards... Little devil! ”

"Adversary?" Sun Zikai frowned.

"No, no, it's a hero... You are a hero..."

"Well, it's me, do you want my knife?"

The flower pot on the bungalow was pushed down by the dog and fell to the ground, and the beggar suddenly lay down in front of Sun Zikai and kept kowtowing. Sun Zikai walked away silently and didn't do anything more.

He first arrived at the location of Jinping Village, but Jin Ping Village was gone, only the ruins remained, and everything that could be moved was snatched away by the people in the city, and then he came to the stall again, thinking, buy a cake, but this stall was gone, only a few broken tables and stools were left, and he sat there for a long time on the wood, and finally got up and left.

The mud yard, the mud house, the white-walled grass tile pottery jar, he stood in front of the door, heard the sound in the house, his house, sure enough, was occupied by the uncle's family, not long after, he hid in the shadows, saw a lot of people walking into the door, all with some food and things, he inquired for a long time, only to figure out the reason.

Half an hour later, on a small road, he blocked a man.

The man was in a hurry, and he didn't know why he was working, he was always tired, and he nodded when he saw everyone. When I saw the child, I only glanced at him, and recognized him, because the child looked too much like my brother.

"Xiao Kai, is that you?"

"Uncle."

"You're still alive, are you really that little devil from 'Anshengguan'?"

"Haven't you always lived comfortably in the city under my banner?"

After hearing this, the man lowered his head, and then said, "Go home, I haven't seen you for many years, and your sister was still talking about you yesterday." ”

"Didn't you take my house?"

The man was silent for a while, and then said, "I looked for you, but I didn't find you." ”

"I've been wandering around the city, and I haven't seen you look for me."

"I.... Hey, the barbarians are coming, I thought you...."

"I wandered for a long time before the barbarians came, and I never heard you look for me."

"I.... I was relieved to hear that you were in Anshengguan. ”

"I've been in Anshengguan for seven years, and I haven't seen you come to me."

The man knew that he was wrong, and lowered his eyebrows.

Sun Zikai asked again: "What about the money that the sect gave to my father?" ”

The man hesitated: "You... Aunt... I got sick, so... So..."

After being silent for a long time, Sun Zikai said: "You can live in the house, the money, use it, but in the future, don't use my name in exchange for benefits." ”

"Come back with me, kid."

The cold light flashed, and the long knife came out of its sheath, but he still couldn't bear to point the blade at the uncle, so he stuck it in the ground between the two, and said coldly: "Remember what I said, do what I say, otherwise, I will kill them." ”

Picking up the knife and returning to its sheath, he was gone. But he didn't go out of the city, he saw that the uncle went home, and waited until the evening, but until this time, there were still people carrying food in, his ears heard far away after tempering, and heard the conversation inside, and the aunt was still laughing and chatting that his nephew had come home today, and he had a long time greeting his uncle, saying that "Anshengguan" was having a hard time and wanted to go home.

The people who came hurriedly brought food and thanked the family for taking care of Kannai.

Sun Zikai pulled out a knife outside the door and stood for a long time, and he fell into the difficulty of making a choice in his heart. Facing the door, he sat on the stone, thinking to himself, when he was weak, he chose to escape because he couldn't do anything, and now that he has the strength, why can't he still do the right thing as he wants?

He wanted to go in and kill people, but suddenly felt that the way he had been dealing with problems was mostly killing, and of course, the ones he had the most contact with were barbarians. Killing people is really the easiest way, people, always stumbling by all kinds of trivial things, even if they are free, they don't live as they want, the wings of freedom do not fly without scruples, and there is always darkness hidden under its feathers, which is the basis of freedom that it cannot see the light and cannot be abandoned.

He understood that it was not the uncle who did not change, but the aunt, so he put away the knife and left. That night, his cousin's arm and cousin's leg were broken, and the next day, the family hurriedly moved out of this earthen house and moved to another city, never mentioning the little devil of "Anshengguan" again, who was his nephew. He doesn't kill people, it doesn't mean that he will compromise, he is free in the end, although he can't do what he wants, but he won't let anyone put a cage for himself, no cage will work, including morality.

That night, he went out of the city, Jiang Yujin and Yang Youshi waited in the car for a day, relying on the gatekeeper sign hanging on the carriage, and no one came up to disturb.

The two saw Sun Zikai, Jiang Yujin didn't say anything, but Yang Youshi said angrily: "Brother, what are you doing, it's been a day, and you're back!" I can't go anywhere, wait until now. ”

"Want to go back?"

"Slightly, if you don't go back, let's go."

They did not enter any of the cities again, but went around the main road outside the city, all the way to the far northwest, and the sign of the gatekeeper was good, not only did the road go unimpeded, but even the cost of the road was almost zero.

Yang Youshi said to Sun Zikai: "Uncle Zhang said don't reach out and take it, you can spend money if you can, and it's not easy for people in the city, but my godfather said that he wanted to take it, brother, you are the same as my godfather, you will ask for it every time, you are not ashamed." ”

Sun Zikai replied: "The gatekeeper is to send the lives of many people, if you don't take it, how can the people behind take it, take it, it is a respect for this burden, and it also makes the people in the city feel more at ease, after all, they don't live easily, and they still have to build on the basis of living." ”

"Oh, my godfather is better than you."

Jiang Yujin had been practicing those three moves on the roof of the car, Sun Zikai stared at it for a while, and said, "Will you be like this?" ”

"Huh? Didn't you teach me these three tricks? ”

"You didn't stab me like this last time."

Jiang Yujin thought about it and said: "That's because you suddenly want to kick me, so I took a step back and stabbed again, seeing that you were already about to block my blade, so I changed my left hand to stab, what do you mean." ”

Sun Zikai jumped on the roof of the car and asked Youshi to drive, and then he said, "Come, kill me." ”

Jiang Yujin was unceremonious, raised the sword and stabbed it, Sun Zikai squatted and flashed, his right hand was raised, and his index finger and middle finger flicked three times on the sword body, the first blow could have made the sword fly out, but the second blow eliminated the force of its flying out, and the third blow made the sword body vibrate in place.

Jiang Yujin's right hand was numb and soft, the sword fell out of his hand, Sun Zikai followed the side to kill, Jiang Yujin retreated straight, but he was in the middle of his arms, his body was leaning back, he was caught by Sun Zikai, and his neck was grabbed with one hand. Sun Zikai said calmly: "Look, you are dead. ”

Jiang Yujin felt the pain in her right hand, Sun Zikai let her go, Jiang Yujin didn't say a word, lowered her head and reached out to grab the sword, but her right hand was so numb and painful that she couldn't hold it at all, so she changed to her left hand and said, "Come again." ”

Sun Zikai took two steps back, Jiang Yujin raised her sword to kill, but her left hand sword was obviously much duller than her right hand, Sun Zikai didn't block it, kicked the sword away, and the sword rushed straight into the sky, Jiang Yujin's hands fell, her right hand trembled, and her left hand cracked with blood, leaving a trail of blood.

As soon as he stretched out his hand and grabbed the hilt of the fallen sword, Sun Zikai said, "Look, you are dead again." ”

Yang Youshi couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Brother, you bully people, and people haven't practiced outside, I want to tell my godfather, and besides, you're crazy, aren't you a servant?" ”

Sun Zikai felt bad at this time, and he was about to be deducted again, but Jiang Yujin said: "I still have two feet, come again." She staggered her steps back and forth, and when Sun Zikai saw it, he nodded and smiled: "Amazing." ”

He is always so serious, after a few breaths, Jiang Yujin was kicked out and rolled on the ground for a long time before stopping. Sun Zikai stood on the top of the car and said: "Your right foot is too light, so you can't bounce in the second section, don't think about the left foot first and then the right foot, forget your foot, just think about where you want to go." ”

Yang Youshi looked at it with a shocked face, Sun Zikai suddenly realized that it was not good, and immediately jumped down and ran over, holding Jiang Yujin who was lying on his stomach in his arms, and said in a little panic: "Are you okay?" ”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yujin's nose was bleeding, and then she cried, "How can you beat me like this!" Why hit me like this! ”

"No, aren't we fighting? I've got to take you seriously. ”

Jiang Yujin cried more and more, and Sun Zikai hurriedly said: "I was wrong, I was too serious, I'm sorry." ”

Jiang Yujin cried and shouted: "Deduct money!" ”

"How much to deduct."

"All buckled!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, don't cry."

As soon as her hands were good, Jiang Yujin climbed onto the roof of the car again and practiced the three movements, but she gradually understood what Sun Zikai meant, no longer repeating the same thing, changing the order and direction of the three movements, and no longer limited to the habits and rules of the body and thinking.

Fourteen cities are wrapped by three long ridges, the exit is only "Ansheng Pass", and the last one runs through the east and west of the mountain, leaving a mountain path, weekdays do not see people at all, if you can climb up, you can see the sect built on the back of the ridge - Yan Ming Sect.

Came to the bottom of the ridge, Sun Zikai sold the carriage, the three of them carried the package, climbed towards the peak, at first a section of the road was not easy, the two girls used their hands and feet together, worn out the palm, half an hour, only to go up to three zhang high, and Yang Youshi ran out of strength, his legs began to spasm, Sun Zikai looked up and looked, the road behind was almost vertical, much steeper than the dangerous peaks on both sides of "Ansheng Pass", and there was no end in sight.

He unwrapped the package, tied Yang Youshi in his arms, and tied Jiang Yujin to his back, and then kicked out, jumping quickly between the mountains and rocks.

Yang Youshi never thought that Sun Zikai would have such a ability, but after a while, Sun Zikai stopped jumping, but chose to climb, just because he sensed that there were guards not far away, and when he first arrived, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, lest the people of the sect be angry.

Sun Zikai said to Jiang Yujin while crawling: "You take out all the things you can use now, and you won't be able to show your things in front of others in the future." ”

Jiang Yujin sighed, and then took out many things from the bracelet, almost dozens of pieces, Sun Zikai was crawling, suddenly felt struggling, almost looked up, looked back, almost spurted blood, and said angrily: "Why don't you carry the carriage on your back?" ”

"Do you want to carry it? I don't mind. ”

"What are you doing with so many things?"

"I'm going to use it in the future."

"Take out only what you need, and take the rest back."

"That's what it takes."

Sun Zikai reluctantly stopped halfway up the mountain, and then sent things into the bracelet one by one, so to put it mildly, only three things were left, a sword, clothes and a wooden hairpin.

Pinning the hairpin in her hair, Jiang Yujin hugged the package and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Those are indeed useful." ”

When they reached seventy zhang high, the two girls didn't dare to open their eyes, and after another hour, Sun Zikai finally took the two of them over the top.

Before you could land on the ground, you exclaimed, "Big house! ”

The fairy air in front of the ridge is stacked, eight high towers stand in the eight directions, there are stone bells on the towers, thirty-six Qionglou jade is higher than the cloud table, the beams and pillars are painted with gold, the sun and the moon should be the dawn, the palace room is side by side, the layers of human figures, such as the sevenfold wave.

And there are ancient trees towering to the sky, the air is magnificent, and there are winding paths leading to seclusion, turning to strange things, all of which are unseen and unheard of by the three of them.

Crane forest jade dew, it is difficult to remember its uneven wonder, Biwa Zhu Yong, turn the head and appear Guidian Lan Palace.

After all, Jiang Yujin is a princess of a country, and she doesn't think it's novel, she just thinks that those cultivation things are very interesting, but Sun Zikai and Yang You are shocked, they have never been to this level in their worldview, even if they think about it day and night, they won't think that people can still live like this.

was pulled down the stairs by Jiang Yujin, and after a while, the three of them came to the back door of Yan Mingzong.

There was only one person guarding the door, still dozing off, Sun Zikai stepped forward and explained his intention, the person was not arrogant, just looked at him, and said suspiciously: "I know the guards, I have also heard about the merits, but I have always issued edicts, talking about the guards who have personally killed four hundred barbarians, so there is such an opportunity, there is no precedent for others, not to mention, no matter how powerful a gatekeeper is, he can't kill four hundred people, you have added the number of enemies killed for many years, and, you three dolls, How did you climb up? ”

It turned out that the people of Yan Mingzong really didn't care about the situation in the fourteen cities behind the Linghou, how could they not know about this matter if they sent someone to inquire.

Sun Zikai said that the three of them climbed for two days before they came up, and the guards did kill enough people, and asked if the person could give him a chance, but he didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect that this person didn't embarrass himself.

The man sighed and said: "In the past hundred and ten years, it is indeed not easy to guard the gate, although this battle exploit is made up by you, I also admit it, you can join the sect, but these two babies, forget it." ”

Sun Zikai asked, "Then how far did I enter the sect?" "This is still the unspoken rule that the elders of the Moving Dust Sect told him.

The man said, "How much more can it be?" Fifth, go to the outer gate to find an errand, you can be regarded as a glorious ancestor. ”

It was also from this sentence that Sun Zikai felt the contempt of the man, and then he thought of the two girls, and he gave Jiang Yujin a look.

Jiang Yujin frowned, just halfway up the mountain, just thinking about picking things, but forgetting about the gold, she finally groped for a while, and finally turned out a piece of gold, which she took out to glut Sun Zikai before.

Before they could speak, the three of them saw the gatekeeper's glittering eyes.

"This... Where did it come from? ”

Jiang Yujin said: "Heirlooms, I hope the elders will make it convenient for me and my sister to join the sect." ”

"Okay, okay, my quota is given to the two of you, you two can be second-class status, and you can enter the inner door."

Jiang Yujin pointed at Sun Zikai and said, "Can you let him be with you." ”

The elder looked embarrassed and said, "I only have two places. ”

Sun Zikai said: "No need, you just go, I earned this opportunity myself, I am very satisfied." ”

The man took the gold, wiped it again and again, and there were no more babies in his eyes, and said: "Boy from the outer gate, you go south along the mountain gate, go to report by yourself, and the girls come with me." ”

"Elder" Jiang Yujin said: "I'm not going, I'm also going to the outer gate, can I let my sister enter the sect as a first-class person." ”

Sun Zikai and Yang Youshi were very surprised, and Youshi immediately said urgently: "I'm not going either." ”

The elder turned around, looked at her curiously, and said, "Doll, you let this opportunity out?" ”

"Hmm."

"Shhh...... You can not go, but first-class status is not based on this thing to get in, doll, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Yujin holding a sword in his hand, how could that sword be worth that small piece of gold?

"You... Who the hell are you? ”

"The younger generation is a refugee, the clan is wiped out, there is only a piece of gold and a sword left, can I exchange it for my sister's first-class status?"

The man looked at the sword, his face solemn, and he said, "Let me ask." ”

Then he took the sword, played the law with one hand, and threw the sword into the sky, and the sword turned into a meteor, drilled into the sky, and then pierced into the interior of the sect.

After a while, a voice came back, "Accurate." ”

The elder said to Yang You: "Someone will come to pick you up in a while." Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, a beam of light came, and Yang Youshi's figure disappeared into the light.

The elder said, "Don't worry, she's fine. ”

"Do you still want to go to the inner gate, my place is empty." The elder reluctantly touched the gold.

Sun Zikai was just about to speak, Jiang Yujin immediately said: "I'll go to the outer gate, you can take away this gold, my sister is alone, and she is even more ignorant, so she has to rely on you to take care of it." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The man pointed in a direction, and Sun Zikai and Jiang Yujin walked towards it.

On the way, Sun Zikai frowned and said, "You..."

Jiang Yujin interrupted him and said, "I can still come back, you didn't see any expression on his face, can I give it to him?" A sucker. ”

Sun Zikai said: "Then why don't you let him take the two of us to the inner gate?" ”

“… Aren't you not going to the inner door? ”

"It's because there are only two places, so I won't go."

"You want to go?"

", who doesn't want to go."

"Are you a stupid pig!" Jiang Yujin hurriedly pulled Sun Zikai and ran back, who expected that the person was no longer at the back door, and a new face was replaced there.

The two had no choice but to walk out of the outer door again, holding their breath and not speaking along the way, and walking dozens of steps, Jiang Yujin scolded the stupid more than a dozen times. After a while, they saw the sign on the outer door.
