Like a swimming fish diving into the deep abyss, far away from the shore of Nagisa on the other side, there is quiet loneliness all around.

Xun Yuzhan's consciousness was also like this, gradually peeling off his body, and drifting with the tide in a boundless black sea where the source could not be found.

"It's so quiet, I can't hear anything in my ears. ”

"It's so dark, you can't see anything in front of you. ”

"Am I alive?"

"Or ...... I'm dead?"

Xun Yuzhan tried hard to open his eyes, but the feeling of sleepiness in his body made it impossible for him to do this, he only felt as if his body had turned into a shipwrecked swimming fish and was dragged into the deep seabed

The fish flapped its tail fin desperately, struggling desperately, but to no avail, it could only allow itself to sink little by little, into this bottomless abyss.

Until a light lit up in front of its eyes.

It was a faint light, dim like a little starlight on the horizon, distant and ethereal, but it was still light.

What time is it?

Where is this place?

Xun Yuzhan riveted the last of his strength, his eyes squeezed out a gap, and the light also shone in.

He trembled and stretched out a hand upward, his fingers clenched, as if trying to grasp the light.

But after all, it is light, you can see it, but you can't touch it.

Xun Yuzhan looked at his gradually lowering five fingers in a daze, and suddenly felt as if he was holding a sword in his hand.

Sword......

That's a long way off.

I still remember that year, my father Xun Wuya was a well-known chivalrous man in the township, he was righteous, swordsmanship, and the neighbors respected him very much, and there were many swordsmen who came to him to learn martial arts, and half-grown children and teenagers surrounded him to learn swords.

And Xun Yuzhan is one of them.

At that time, Xun Yuzhan's family was not wealthy, but his mother specially bought high-quality peach wood and made a peach wood sword for him.

Xun Yuzhan disliked this wooden sword very much, and shouted in his mouth that he wanted to play a real sword like his father.

At that time, his mother just smiled and flicked his head, telling him that the peach tree had been baptized by the thunder and had reached the pure yang, and the sword made of it was not an ordinary sword.

His mother also said that when he could wield a real sword, she would give him another pair of dual swords full of aura like his father's hand.

Xun Yuzhan was very happy when he heard this, and took the peach wood sword with a smile, and regarded it as his treasure from now on.

And Xun Yuzhan also showed extraordinary talent, at the age of seven, he was able to defeat many farmers in the village, people boasted, Xun family tiger father has no dog, this doll will be terrible in the future.

At that time, Xun Wushuang was not yet three years old, and he was already extremely cute and cute, so at such an age, he often stuck to his mother, holding his head with two small hands, staring straight at his mother splashing ink on rice paper, or watching her comb rouge gouache on the bronze mirror. Therefore, the neighbors laughed and talked about it, and this girl doll will definitely be shocked to bring disaster to the country and the people in the future.

And so it was, another year.

Xun Wuya decided to go to the rivers and lakes alone, but when he left, he was very sorry and reluctant, but the virtuous wife still smiled and comforted him, and only said that he would go early and return early, and the concubine was looking forward to the king's return.

Xun Wuya kissed his wife's smooth forehead, and called Xun Yuzhan again, telling him that he was the only man in the family, and if there was a big matter, he could ask the uncle in the neighborhood to help, and if it was a small matter, he would have to learn to take care of it.

At that time, Xun Yuzhan patted his chest, and said that his father was relieved.

Xun Wushuang hid behind Xun Yuzhan, grabbing the tail of his eldest brother's clothes with his little hand, looking at her timidly, she had always been a little scared

Father, did not speak.

Xun Wuya tried hard to squeeze out a smile to his daughter that he thought was the most warm in his life, turned around and walked out the door, and there has been almost no news since then.

In the blink of an eye, it was snowing heavily.

That year, the township had a bumper harvest, and even though it was confiscated by the government, for their small family of three people, the food for the winter was still sufficient, and a lamp and a stove were also satisfied.

Until the gang of bandits passed by.

I still remember that day, the village was in chaos, and the fire was so bright that the night sky was reflected as if it were day, and there were no stars in sight.

The sound of horses' hooves and horses' chirping, cries, screams, and laughter mingled like rumbling artillery fire.

In a panic, the mother stuffed the siblings into a thick haystack in the courtyard wall, telling them to hide them and keep quiet.

Xun Yuzhan's blood surged, where was he willing, even if he raised the peachwood sword in his hand and vowed to fight to the death with the thief.

"Yuzhan, look at your sister. ”

Mother didn't stop him directly, but squatted down, pressed his shoulder, and said earnestly.

Xun Yuzhan was stunned, looked down at Xun Wushuang, who was already trembling with fear and curled up into a ball of six gods, hesitated for a while, and gently picked her up.

I can still hear the immature and hoarse cry of the little sister: "Brother, brother, ......"

Xun Yuzhan's eyes seemed to be breathing fire, he didn't say anything, just took Xun Wushuang into his arms and gently stroked the latter's head.

"Yuzhan, you are a man who stands up to the sky, right?" his mother asked him with a smile when she saw this.

Xun Yuzhan bit his lip and nodded firmly.

"Yuzhan, you will ...... in the future You're going to be a hero like your father, right?" asked the mother, still smiling.

Xun Yuzhan nodded harder.

"You'll protect Mushuang, won't you?" said the mother's smile grew brighter and brighter.

Xun Yuzhan bit his lip and clenched his fists tightly.

"Promise mother, no matter what happens, don't look outside, you have to hide here, and you have to protect Wushuang at all!"

The mother put away her smile and looked at Xun Yuzhan with her eyes like a torch.

And Xun Yuzhan's eyes were also like a burning fire.

"Sensible child...... Have you made an appointment, gentleman?" the mother smiled again, she gently rubbed Xun Yuzhan's head, and then raised her little thumb and bent it into a hook.

Xun Yuzhan's eyebrows suddenly drooped downward, and his round cheeks seemed to tremble, but he pursed his lips stubbornly, and also raised his little thumb and hooked it.

The mother breathed a sigh of relief, and she gave them one last reluctant glance and resolutely turned away.

Outside the courtyard, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and three fierce men waved the big knives in their hands and broke in. They saw this very charming woman at a glance, and their pupils suddenly showed a hungry wolf's hungry gaze.

In the haystack not far away, Xun Yuzhan, who couldn't suppress his emotions no matter what, opened the haystack slightly, and looked out by the firelight, and Xun Wushuang in his arms also learned to secretly open a gap.

The mother was humiliated and slammed into the bloody knife.

The bandits were furious and wanted to vent their anger on his corpse.

Xun Yuzhan stared at all this with scarlet eyes, his pupils seemed to burst out, he trembled all over, only to feel the blood and qi in his body surging up to the dome, and it would explode with a light touch; he gritted his silver teeth, his knuckles turned white, and his lips and palms were cracked.

The tears that Fang had just held back finally rolled down at this moment.

But he remembered what his mother had said to him, and it was close to his eyes and ears.

Until a piercing scream pierced everything in sight.

Xun Wushuang saw his mother lying in a pool of blood, and finally couldn't stand this kind of stimulation and cried.

And in the next moment, the three blood-stained knives also began to turn towards them.

At that time, Xun Yuzhan lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression clearly, and could only see the corners of his mouth twitching upward.

"Thanks, Mushuang. ”

He rubbed his little sister's hair, then pulled out the peachwood sword on his back and stood up.

Xun Wushuang was already frightened, she curled up in a corner, only knowing how to cry.

"You wait here for me for a while, and I'll be back shortly. ”

Xun Yuzhan said softly, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and raising it high.

The three bandits looked at the wooden sword in the boy's hand and sneered wantonly and cruelly, and they raised their swords and, without the slightest hesitation or pity, rushed over on horseback.

The knife borrows horsepower, fierce and swift.

And Xun Yuzhan swung out a sword, but there was a sword light, as bright as day.

It was an extraordinary human power.

Syllable!

In the dark abyss, Xun Yuzhan suddenly didn't know where the strength came from, and the five fingers that hung down suddenly slammed into a fist.

When he finally opened his eyes, the unreachable starlight opened wide, as if he had been summoned by some kind of summons, and the oppressive feeling that enveloped his whole body suddenly faded like a tide, and the butterfly danced lightly.

Xun Yuzhan's pupils reflected the light, and then suddenly diverged, like a fish trapped in the abyss turned over and turned into a dragon!

What time is it?

There are fish in the abyss.

Xun Yuzhan woke up suddenly, and everything that seemed to be in a dream disappeared in an instant.

What greeted me was a dark cell, with no candles in it, and it was extremely humid and smelly. Although it was particularly pungent, the smoked Xun Yuzhan almost vomited, but it was this kind of stimulation that made him sober up a lot.

Xun Yu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw a faint candle flame outside the iron fence not far away.

He tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, something pulled him back, and there was a feeling of paralysis in his limbs. Only then did he realize that his hands and ankles were locked in heavy chains, and he could barely move.

Xun Yuzhan sat up cross-legged, clenched his fists vigorously with both hands, and then narrowed his eyes.

The fragment of memory is on the stone bridge.

He asked, "Dare to ask Wei Bo, why did you leave Xunmen last night, and where did you go?"

And Wei Dingshan had a weird smile on his face, did not answer, and immediately attacked him with a palm.

Xun Yuzhan took a deep breath, then slowly closed his eyes and raised his head.

A cold water dripped from the roof and hit him in the face, inconsequentially.

Xun Yuzhan thought in his heart, he was facing his back at the moment, just to prevent the water from falling.

Obviously, his eyes were dark and he couldn't see anything, but he felt that the clouds were already clear in front of him, and his chest was swept away with gloom and congestion, but there was an emotion that he couldn't let go of calmly no matter what.

So, he clenched his fists, as if he were holding a sword in his hand, as he had done back then.

Then he opened his eyes, and they looked like sparks in them.

Where is this place?

He laughed.

Fish leap over the shore.
