Early the next morning.

When Long Chen opened his eyes, a peach-colored ribbon floated in front of him, the streamer was tied with a small spike, a pair of watery eyes were staring at him, and he opened his lips as young as a cherry and said: "Get up, Daddy said to let you get up and wash up quickly, and then go to breakfast and eat to class." ”

The girl's childish voice pulled everyone out of their deep dreams like the cry of a yellow warbler.

Hearing the girl's voice, Li Moru jumped up from the bed in an instant, and hurriedly glanced around, and sure enough, behind the bead curtain, he saw the girl.

Dressed in a light blue moon dress, the skirt is dotted with a faint white half-point, like a little star in the starry sky, the ribbon dances in the wind, and the smile at the corner of the mouth is like the wind in April, warm into the heart.

The girl's name is Mo Xue'er, but because she is the youngest, everyone likes to call her Xue'er.

Zhang Fugui rubbed his eyes, yawned sleepily, and then rubbed the tears squeezed out of his eyes, "Sister Xue'er, you got up so early." ”

Xue'er turned around and said, "It's you who get up too late, hurry up, Daddy said that if you don't get up again, you won't have breakfast for a while." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

As soon as he heard that he was late and had no food, Zhang Fugui hurriedly got up and put on his shoes and socks, and chased after Xue'er where he left.

The remaining three also methodically cleaned up and got up.

After breakfast, a few people went to the school to start classes, today they are the first wave, usually Zhang Fugui and Li Moru are always about to be late.

In the center of the school hangs two words 'Xuezhai', it is said that the origin of Xue'er's name also comes from this snow word, the left pillar is written to be near Xuezhai Yuanke, and the right is Moyin's light pen to leave a permanent name.

There are a total of nine children in the school, among which Chen Man is the daughter of the mayor of Guzhen, Lu Yanxia is the daughter of the Guzhen Staff, and Song Hongjing and Zhao Ziming are both from outside the ancient town to study, and now live with their servants in a big mansion near the Luoyan Pagoda in the ancient town.

Song Hongjing and Zhang Qingshan had always been the two students that Mr. praised the most before Long Chen came, and now after Long Chen came, the three of them have become students that Mr. is satisfied with.

Today's study is "The Book of Rites - Ritual Chapters", and everyone began to read aloud after arriving at the school.

Ritual utensils are so well prepared. Dabei, Shengde also. Rites are released, the quality of beauty is increased, the measures are correct, and the implementation is done. It is also in people, such as bamboo arrows have a hand, such as pines and cypresses have a heart......

After reading it, Mr. explained the meaning to them as usual, and then there was a lot of boring language, these words were the best lullaby for Zhang Fugui and Li Moru, and it didn't take long for the two to lie on the desk.

As usual, when Zhang Fugui snored, the two of them were arranged to stand on the side of the road to listen to the class, and the two shook their heads when they listened, and watched Zhang Qingshan and the others start a harmonious discussion with Mr., and the two of them were as incompatible with the word "school" as outsiders.

Finally, the noon sun finally ran to the school from the distant horizon, and the two of them were already traveling through the landscape of the back mountain at this time.

Hearing Mr. say that when class was over, Zhang Fugui and Li Moru ran out of the depressing place in an instant like wild horses, and as soon as they ran out of the school, they breathed in the free air outside, and the two felt that they were finally alive again at this moment.

Seeing the two children who ran away, Mr. was also a little helpless, but he never seemed to deliberately train the two, but occasionally told the two of them some principles of life, so that they could remember that they could not listen to the lesson, but they could not help but do it.

In fact, Mr. also knows that the two of them are not the material for reading, it is better to let them learn some principles of life, learn what they like, and have a skill, so every time Zhang Fugui borrows those books on arithmetic from him, he will give them all to Zhang Fugui without reservation.

Li Moru and Zhang Fugui were waiting for Zhang Qingshan and Long Chen outside the courtyard, preparing to go to the back mountain to play for a while.

Walk along the path at the back door of the academy, you only need to walk along the stream to the back mountain, which is said to be the back mountain, but in fact, it is the south of the mountain, but in the novels Li Moru reads, the heroes and sword immortals are all practicing martial arts in the back mountain, so he named it the back mountain.

The four of them walked along the path, both sides of the path are full of newly grown weeds, tender green, occasionally interspersed with a few wild flowers, plus at the foot of the mountain, there are many farmland next to it, it looks very beautiful.

The stream was very cool because of the shade of the trees, and the four of them walked along the stream to the back mountain.

The back mountain is a vertical cliff with a clear spring flowing out of the cliff, forming a small waterfall, and occasionally a rainbow can be seen hanging in the middle of the waterfall under the sunlight.

The water of the pond in the back mountain is crystal clear, a few children walked for a long time and soaked their feet in the pond water by the way, the pond water is clear because of the reason, as if the fish are soaring in the blue sky.

Li Moru threw away his socks and put his feet into the water with a snap, and the splash wet his trouser legs.

A few people played for a while, and Li Moru, who was soaking his feet, seemed to see a sword, but when he looked closely, he found that it didn't seem to be, he turned his head to the three of them and said, "Eh, brothers, I just seemed to see a sword." ”

Zhang Fugui patted him on the shoulder with his hand and said, "Second brother, we all know that you especially want to be a peerless sword immortal, of course, we can also understand your feelings of wanting a sword very much, but you are hallucinating now, this is very scary, you are already sick, if you continue like this, third brother, I am really worried about your future." ”

Li Moru glanced at him and said, "I really saw a sword,"

"Where?"

"It's right in—right in ......" Li Moru glanced at the pool again, the pool water was crystal clear, there was nothing in it, only the occasional fish swimming by.

"I can't say it! In this way, second brother, if you really want to see the sword, you can let the eldest brother lend you the sword on his back to touch it, so as to leave you a thought. ”

Li Moru ignored him, and kept repeating the appearance of the sword in his mind, but he couldn't recall it.

Just when Zhang Fugui laughed at him, he suddenly remembered something, pulled Zhang Fugui's neck over, and said, "Dead fat man, what did you call me just now? Second brother? Yes, you, now your wings are hard!"

Zhang Fugui and Li Moru fell on the lawn because of the struggle, and with the advantage of weight, Li Moru was pressed under him, and said: "How about the second brother, call the third brother, and the third brother will let you go." ”

Li Moru raised his foot and kicked him in the ass, and then took advantage of Zhang Fugui to touch his buttocks, and escaped from Zhang Fugui's suppression, but accidentally slipped and fell into the pool.

The pool water was cool to the bone, but the moment he fell in, the water rushed towards him from all directions, as if to block every pore on the person, the hair pulled his head with the direction of the water, and the clothes on his body seemed to become an accomplice in the fall at this time.

Fortunately, Li Moru quickly reacted, the ancient city is full of water and boats, so the children here can crawl in the water from an early age, and of course Li Moru is no exception.

Li Moru was about to use the thrust of his feet to rise, but he found that something was shining on the pebbles in Tan Shui.

This time, Li Moru was sure that what he saw was the light of a sword, this blue-green luster, with the faint blue light of flowing water, but this light did not appear from the bottom of the pool, but from the cliff.

The cliffs are dozens of zhang high, too straight and smooth from top to bottom, and it is only under the impact of the flowing water for many years that some stone formations have appeared that can be climbed.

The stone walls that line the waterfall are covered in moss and moss, with the occasional purple wildflower or two dotted throughout.

Li Moru floated up, raised his head to the surface, and stared at the waterfall.

The speed of such a high drop waterfall is naturally not slow, and the splash of water hangs a small rainbow on the cliff in the sun, but Li Moru has no intention of enjoying this scenery now.

He looked towards the phantom light that had just shone into his eyes, but the more he tried to see clearly, the more the water splashed into his eyes, and when he came ashore there was no silver light.

He stood wet on the shore in a daze, Zhang Fugui did not bother him this time, he had never seen Li Moru with such a look, he leaned next to Zhang Qingshan, and asked softly in Zhang Qingshan's ear: "Hey, Qingshan, what do you say is wrong with Moru, how weird, it's scary." ”

Zhang Qingshan looked at Li Moru from afar. "I don't know, I've never seen him like this, how to say, there's a weird feeling. ”

"He can't just fall into the pool of water and get evil, I heard from the people in the town that this pool of water is strange, is Mo Ru really hit the evil?"

When he was about to go to see how Li Moru was doing, Li Moru stared at the waterfall, his eyes saw tears and still didn't see the light again, he brushed the ground and jumped into the pool.

At this time, a faint thin cloud floated from nowhere in the sky, blocking out the sunlight above the pool.

Li Moru searched everywhere in the water, but even if he touched the pebbles, he could no longer see the previous light, and at this moment, countless streams of water hit his nostrils and ear piercings, and he was about to suffocate.

Convinced that he must have seen the light of a sword, and that he had never seen such a glamorous light, he raised his head and took a big breath, and dived again, still not visible from the bottom of the water.

In this way, he went up and down for half an hour, no matter how Zhang Fugui and others on the shore called him, he was still unmoved, he only had one sentence in his heart: It is so beautiful, I think it is good to look at it again.

A breeze came, the shadows of the trees on the water shook, and the ripples caused by Li Moru's diving spread out on the surface of the water in a circle.

At this moment, he fell into a crazy obsession, probably because of the wind, the clouds in the sky found another mountain to rest, Li Moru was still groping in the water, and now, his fingers had been wrinkled by the cold pool water, his physical strength was almost exhausted, his limbs were sore, and he was a little powerless.

His speed of planing the water became slower and slower, and this scene spread from the bottom of the crystal clear water to the surface of the water, and all the way to the eyes of Long Chen and the others on the shore.

"It's not good, Li Moru is physically exhausted, hurry up and rescue him, otherwise he will be in danger. ”

Long Chen's words exploded like a cannon battle between the two, Zhang Fugui snapped and jumped into the water, a huge splash splashed on the surface of the water, and Zhang Qingshan and Long Chen also jumped into the pool of water after him.

The three of them respectively pulled the weak Li Moru to the shore, but Li Moru seemed to be in a magic barrier, and kept touching the pebbles, and the water surface was full of splashes stirred by several people struggling.

Finally, Li Moru couldn't lift his hands anymore, and his legs couldn't row, so he could only let the three of them pull him ashore, but at the moment when his head left the water, he clearly saw the light again, quiet and beautiful, charming and swaying with the ripples on the water surface, that was the most beautiful color.

After going ashore, Zhang Fugui kept scolding him, "You don't want to die, I see that you just want a sword and a magic barrier, it's really not good, I'll save next month's food money, and then borrow a little from Qingshan, and lend it to you when the time comes, you go to the blacksmith shop in the town to fight it, it's really true." ”

Zhang Fugui gasped while scolding him, he really made Li Moru choke enough, and kept using his sleeves to drip his head next to his eyes to wipe it dry.

Li Moru, who finally saw the light, finally came to his senses, and he breathed in the cool air sent by the breeze in a big gulp, and his whole body was already frozen to words.

He crawled towards the sunny place, lying in the sun, his face was hot, he looked at the sky, the sun was so hot that he couldn't open his eyes, he said, "I'm sorry everyone, I just made a little mistake, I'm sorry." ”

Zhang Fugui also crawled over and lay in the sun with him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "There's nothing to be sorry for, but, Li Moru, what did you see that made you so obsessed and searching, you don't even want your life." ”

Li Moru spread his hands to both sides as much as he could, enjoying the warm feeling, and said, "Fugui, I just saw a sword light, he is so beautiful." ”

Zhang Fugui asked, "Do you even want your life for it?"

"That's the most beautiful color I've ever seen in my life, but it's a pity that I didn't see what the sword looked like, otherwise, I would be willing to die. ”

Zhang Fugui glanced at him and said, "I have a sick brain." ”

But he believed Li Moru's words, if he hadn't really seen anything, Li Moru wouldn't have cared about anything, didn't care about anything, and desperately stayed underwater for so long.

Long Chen and Zhang Qingshan also lay beside the two, and Long Chen said: "People say that it is okay to die at the end of the day, but I look at him, it is okay to die at the end of the day." ”

Zhang Qingshan said with a smile: "No, it should be seen in the morning, and it can be killed in the morning." ”

Li Moru didn't know what was wrong with him today, how could he just want to see that thing, not to get it, but to see it, and to be content to see it.
