The night sky is full of stars, the red lanterns on the beams of the house are swaying in the cool autumn breeze, and the flickering lights and the drunken chatter of the crowd faintly heard in the distance make the village a little playful and energetic.

It was late at night, and the courtyard was lit up, leaving only a glimmer of light. Yang Xiao hadn't slept yet, he stood in front of the round table, and on the table was a simple bronze mirror with mottled rust. At this time, he closed his eyes tightly, and the index fingers and thumbs of his hands met, and he saw that the fingertips where they met had a faint luster flowing and lingering, which was very beautiful. He slowly opened his eyes, his hands gradually separated, only to see that the luster was no longer limited to his fingertips, but continued to diffuse, and the whole room was surrounded by streamers, and then a more dazzling luster permeated between Yang Xiao's body and the bronze mirror, and finally there was no longer a luster, and at the same time, the scene on the bronze mirror switched, and the mottled rust disappeared, replaced by an incomparably real figure of an old man.

The words came from the bronze mirror and resounded in the room, but they could not penetrate the spiritual light wrapped around the wall, and they could be felt from the outside, only the lights flickered in the silence of the room. "Boy, what are you waking me up in the middle of the night? ”

"Old thing, don't talk nonsense, what are you Wan Yao Sect going to do? Did you already guess that Zhao Kai was carrying the golden scale bloodline, so you asked me to bring him into Dachu?" Yang Xiao got straight to the point.

"It's not really, it's just that someone is asking for it, and we're just fueling the fire. Zhao Kai's golden scale bloodline has been roughly calculated, what's the matter, looking at you now, I'm afraid something is wrong. "The old man has white hair and white beard, and he is not in a hurry to answer the question at this time, but he is a fairy wind and bones.

But Yang Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded loudly, fortunately there was a spiritual barrier, otherwise he would have to wake up everyone in the courtyard. "Then do you know that there is still a yellow finch behind, Zhao Kai's bloodline has changed, and now it is a black iron bloodline. "Yang Xiao is not afraid to tell the old man the truth, Wan Yaozong's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and in less than two years, Zhao Kai will be ten years old, and the bloodline will be completely revealed, and at that time, they will definitely know the fact that the bloodline has been replaced.

Hearing this, the old man fell silent, frowned slightly, and then said: "This is unexpected, what kind of force is such a means?"

"Isn't it your Wan Yao Sect's doing? Blood Replacement requires exquisite and ancient magic circles and witchcraft, and powerful wizards need to use blood as bait, only your Wan Yao Sect has this background. ”

The old man's brows furrowed even tighter, and what Yang Xiao said was not unreasonable. Witchcraft in Southern Xinjiang has been extinct hundreds of years ago, and even if there are few people who know and inherit it, they will definitely not be able to escape the sight of the Wan Yao Sect, and most of the wizards have joined the Wan Yao Sect.

Yang Xiao saw that the old man's god did not seem to be fake, so he changed the next question, and asked solemnly: "When you first came to me, did you already count me and the entire Mo family?"

"We just throw the pebbles into the sea, and it doesn't matter if it's a boulder or a stream boulder, no matter how big the waves start with it. The important thing is that it has the potential to stir up a thousand waves. But when a stone falls into the water, there will always be waves, and it is impossible to be alone in life and work. Dafeng's two royal bloodlines are placed in the general trend of the whole world, and they are just a small wave, even if the ability of the bloodline is completely revealed in the end, no matter how powerful it is, there is always a way to check and balance. ”

An inquiry, in the end, although there was no good result, but it did not tear the skin of the face.

The morning sun is still warm and vibrant, and the air in the village is always so fresh and pleasant, but if the haze in the heart lingers, no matter how good the environment is, it will not bring a good mood.

After Zhao Kai learned the truth about the bloodline replacement, although he didn't do anything crazy, he became more and more silent, and he usually practiced swords harder, as if he wanted to squander the energy of his whole body, leaving no room for other things. Yang Xiao and the three of them looked at him like this, knowing that it was useless to explain too much, so he could only rely on himself to open his heart knot, usually just communicate with Zhao Kai a lot, and sometimes tell a joke or two to relieve the haze in his heart.

The time of fulfillment flies, a week has passed, and it is time for Du Yanran and Zhao Kai to agree on a sword competition. Zhao Kai didn't forget about it, and he had no intention of avoiding the battle, and after two weeks of crazy practice, he always had to test the test results.

In a martial arts arena in the middle of the village, there are now two children standing in the center of the ring, both of whom look like they are only eight or nine years old, but they are both well developed, and they are much taller than people of this age. Both of them were holding a wooden sword in their hands, and at this time, the two sides looked at each other, holding the wooden sword tightly, they didn't say a word, their eyes were sharp, and the smell of gunpowder was quite strong, and the minions and commanders in the audience had begun to coax blindly. In addition to these people, there was also a group of children, who were under the leadership of a big man at this time, shouting loudly, "Sister Yan'er come on! Sister Yan'er come on!" Looking at the sledgehammer's undisciplined rebellion, Zhao Kai was not angry, but rather funny, at this time he couldn't stop shaking his head in his heart, secretly sighing that this sledgehammer was usually too well hidden, and he didn't find out that he was such a scoundrel and unreliable, and he forgot about his partner who traveled all the way after a few days.

According to the rules, the two sides clasped their fists and saluted, and under the command of the black-faced star Gaogan, the temporary referee, the competition began.

Gao Gan explained on the side, "Okay, now let's look at the camps of both sides, Zhao Kai, only eight years old, has just completed two weeks of sword practice, but his physical strength far exceeds that of his peers, he is extremely dexterous, and his strength is as strong as an ox." Du Yanran, who is ten years old, has been practicing swords for more than two years, is ruthless and ferocious, and we will turn our attention back to the battlefield. Feeling the sharp gaze of the little witch Du, Gao Gan shut up with interest.

I saw that under the ring, the figures were crowded, shouting and shouting, it was really a battle that could only be seen in a peerless battle. On the ring, two small sword shadows flew up, their bodies swayed dexterously, but they were both handsome and beautiful, and the people who watched them were relaxed and happy.

In fact, in the eyes of many masters in the audience, many of the two people on the stage played a lot of tricks, but no one stipulated that they couldn't compete with bells and whistles, and besides, these two children still wanted to be clever in swordsmanship, so they should still be coaxed and called in the crowd.

Zhao Kai on the stage did not continue to dodge with his physical strength like when he was competing with boxing, but faced his sharp edge with real guns and real knives. In Zhao Kai's eyes, now there are only sword moves and sword moves, the collision between sword and sword moves, in the previous two weeks of study, Zhao Kai had very doubts about Yang Xiao's teaching methods, every time he just mastered the shape of the sword moves, Yang Xiao would teach him the next move, so that although he can now use a lot of sword moves, but he has not mastered the real sword intent contained in it. But now he understands that after fighting with Du Yanran again and again, he has caught a sword intent, a unique sword intent of his own, of course, it is just a small opportunity. It's not that he can't feel other people's sword intent, it's just that Yang Xiao feels that there is really no need to be too careful about these sword moves on the bad streets of the rivers and lakes, as long as he masters his shape, as for the sword intent or something, either to teach his own mastery, or to let Zhao Kai slowly grope in the confrontation with the enemy again and again with his unique physical strength when fighting.

In fact, Du Yanran's talent for sword training is very high, and in two years, she has found her own path, a road that does not hide her edge, and goes straight. Zhao Kai can always feel a brave edge every time he fights her, which is the sword intent that belongs to Du Yanran.

Time passed minute by minute, and at the beginning, Zhao Kai was still very rusty about the switching between each move and the integration between each other, but now, he has basically mastered it, stabbing straight, splitting forward, sweeping, and every move is natural and smooth. Du Yanran, who was on the other side, obviously didn't expect Zhao Kai, a rookie who had only learned swordsmanship for two weeks, to be inseparable from him, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

After another dozens of breaths, with a bang, Zhao Kaimu's sword was shocked by Du Yanran's oblique slash and left, and the outcome was decided. Zhao Kai was sweating profusely, holding his knees with his hands and gasping for breath, while Du Yanran was much better, but she was also constantly inhaling and sweating.

Zhao Kai looked at the arrogant girl opposite, and was about to put a few cruel words, such as saying something like today's bad state, and choosing another auspicious day to fight again, but looking at the face of the woman opposite, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, only to see that under the sun, the girl's cheeks were crimson, goose egg face pointed chin, Qiong nose and jade lips, eyebrows like distant mountains, a pair of extremely individual phoenix eyes, flashing with the divine light of youth and pride, a daffodil skirt that has obviously been improved in size and suitable for martial arts, but the graceful figure is revealed in the girl's breath. Zhao Kai was stunned, the girl on the opposite side looked at Zhao Kai who suddenly made a fool, her eyes widened, revealing a fierce light that was eating people, Zhao Kai felt the cold light from the opposite side, and hurriedly looked away, shouting in her heart, no, no, what am I doing? Then I slapped myself twice, and then I breathed a sigh of relief, but I still marveled at the cruel woman's ungodly appearance from time to time.

As Gao Gan said loudly that the winner was Du Yanran, the audience was still in a commotion, and suddenly there was a neat call, and Sister Yanran shouted that it was deafening, and even many of the little minions or commanders who were watching the battle also joined in, one of the rough and rough voices was extremely harsh, Zhao Kai followed the prestige, and sure enough, he saw the big hammer standing in a group of children, and couldn't help but stroke his forehead, look up at the sky, and let out a long sigh.

This competition made Zhao Kai, who had been in a tense state, relax a little, took the initiative to ask Yang Xiao for leave, and then wandered around the village for a whole afternoon as he pleased.

At night, the lights are swaying, the figures are leaning on the railing, and the crooked moon is like a bait, fishing for the hundred turns of sorrow in Zhao Kai's belly.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" A pleasant voice came, Zhao Kai turned his head to look, but it was the arrogant Du Yanran.

"Look at the moon. He replied nonchalantly.

"Cut, why didn't you hide today, you fought so fiercely?" Zhao Kai ignored her.

Du Yanran looked at Zhao Kai for a moment, then muttered, "You are so strange." Zhao Kai still didn't pay attention to her.

Suddenly, Du Yanran took Zhao Kai's hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "Let's go, I'll take you to a place." ”

Zhao Kai hadn't slowed down yet, and Du Yanran had already pulled Zhao Kai and ran.

"Slow down, slow down. Zhao Kai shouted, and the girl next to him just smiled lowly, her eyebrows were crooked, and she was very good-looking.

The roof of an attic, the moonlight is like water, and the starry night is like a hook, shining two small figures.

"Are you also from the Mo family?" "Sort of. "You don't seem happy?" "No, I'm just homesick. "Oh, let's have some fun, then. How can you hide so much?" "...."

The little girl kept asking, and the boy also changed from rusty to warm, and from time to time there was a low smile between the two, flowing along the moonlight, the figure was constantly elongated, and the voice gradually became lower and farther away, blending into the moonlight.
