When the sun rose and the morning glow stained the sky red, dozens of blood-feathered owls quacked and screamed and lifted away, leaving only a dilapidated manor and a mess.

Liu Jingyu, who was extremely depressed, was disappointed, but he had no choice but to evacuate the place with the remnants of the divine sword guards.

In this battle, the Thundering Villa was razed to the ground, and the Lei clan was almost wiped out, only one woman and three children were missing.

And the Divine Sword Guard also suffered a lot of losses, killing more than 30 people, more than half of the casualties, including the two early stages of God Refining, Gao Chi and Qiu Peishan.

Gao Chi was killed by Lei Xiao, and Qiu Peishan died under Qi An's sword, but because the death of the two was similar, they were both thunder into the body, and their bodies were scorched, which created an illusion, making people mistakenly think that the person who killed Qiu Peishan was also Lei Xiao, and even Liu Jingyu did not doubt it.

The laborers mobilized the crowd to go on an expedition, just to get some resources of Thundering Villa, but the iron plate that he wanted to get the most was taken away by someone and disappeared without a trace.

Liu Jingyu's face was ugly, although he won this expedition, he was still defeated.

And Qi An, who secretly got the iron medal, was also in a heavy mood and felt depressed.

Witnessing the Lei Clan's people being brutally slaughtered by the Divine Sword Guard, he could not stop it.

Seeing that Liu Jingyu killed people but only for selfish desires, he was powerless to sanction him.

All this is just because his strength is not strong enough.

Only the strong can make rules, even if the rules are unfair and unreasonable, as a weak person, they can only abide by it, they can only obey, otherwise it is death.

Qi An finally knew the depth of Liu Jingyu's strength, he could kill Lei Xiao, he would definitely reach the level of the peak of refining gods, and it would take a long time for Qi An to catch up or even surpass.

If you want revenge, how easy is it to talk about it?

After the owl bird carried everyone back to the Sword King's Mansion, the depressed Liu Jingyu was not in the mood to be politely appeased, and left without saying a word.

As for tracking down the whereabouts of the iron plate, there is no need for the Divine Sword Guard to intervene, and the secret agent on the Liu family's side is in charge.

Ram Shou silently looked at the more than thirty corpses, without saying a word, only asked Zheng Baimei to write down their respective military exploits, and after a few words of encouragement, the team was disbanded.

As for those who died, those who had family members were notified to come and collect the bodies, and those who did not have family members were buried in a random place.

The world of cultivators is so cruel, if they die in the hands of others, they can only blame themselves for not being proficient in their studies, no one will feel sorry for it, and they will die in vain.

Qi An put aside his boredom, went to the outer city to chat with Xiao You and Lao Hei for a morning, ate the lunch made by Xiao You, and then went to the reserve camp to visit Murong Qing for a while, and then quietly returned to the inner city in the afterglow of the sunset.

This trip to Thundering Villa had a great impact on Qi An's heart, which made him sigh.

When he was young, Qi An broke into Qingliang Mountain alone in a fit of rage, fought against the bandits, fought for life and death, and almost lost his life.

On the line between life and death, he was greatly moved to see Zhao Song, the lieutenant of Pingyang County, leading 300 elite soldiers into the mountains to suppress bandits, and thus he had a good impression of the government and the imperial court.

Later, he was recommended by Zhao Songzhi and entered the Qianqing Academy, practiced steadily in the backing mountain branch, and gradually improved.

In those years, Qi An was also deeply impressed, and he had a very good impression of the Great Qian's Dynasty, because the Qianqing Dynasty was originally an institution under the command of the imperial court, and if the atmosphere of the school was good, the court was upright and the law and discipline were clear.

Therefore, when he had completed the semester of the Backing Mountain Branch and received the appointment, he never thought of breaking away from the aura of the court, and he was quite looking forward to the Daowang Mansion, which was known as the orthodoxy of Qingzhou.

Unexpectedly, from the moment he entered the Divine Sword Guard Reserve Camp, Qi An felt that this world was not as good as he thought.

It wasn't until he met Liu Jingyu and the battle to destroy the Lei clan that Qi An found that this day had already changed, and it was no longer the bright and beautiful spirit that he had seen before, but the weak and the strong, and there was no daylight.

Qi An, who was tormented in his heart, lost the direction of his life for the first time, and even regretted his original choice, this arrogant and domineering Sword King Mansion, this robber's nest dressed in the skin of the official mansion, was not where he wanted to stay, there was a deep rift between him and the Sword King Mansion, which was irreparable and still expanding.

The ambition and ideal of defending the family and the country are like dream bubbles, disillusioned one by one, like a basin of cold water overturned on the head, poured from head to foot, from the outside to the heart.

The torrential rain washed away Qi An's faith, and the thunder woke up Qi An's innocence.

However, the collapse of his life ideals did not destroy Qi An's will, but instead made him experience inner torture, thus clarifying his pursuit.

Qi An, who had been decadent for several days, finally suddenly realized and suddenly sobered up.

The dusty heart is washed away with lead, and the fragile soul is strengthened.

At this time, Qi An only had one thought left in his heart, and that was ......

I'm going to be strong!!

Supporting justice does not rely on faith and courage, but on strength!

Strict law and discipline is not about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but about strength!

What you seek from hard work is not quiet and inaction, but strength!

Important things must be said three times!

Strength! Strength! Strength!

Only strength is the truth of the avenue pursued by cultivators, whether it is fighting with people, fighting with the earth, or fighting with the sky, it is inseparable from strength, without power, you are just an ant, trampled on by others, broken bones!

After this trip to Thundering Villa, Qi An's inner world first collapsed, then rebuilt, transformed and born, and then shined.

It was as if he had undergone a cruel heart refining, and the effect was far greater than that of the illusionary tempering of the Heart Stone, which actually made his Yuan Shen grow rapidly, break through the shackles of the physical body, and derive magical power.

Qi An was originally determined, his soul was not weak, and in the past half a year, he had often been tempered by the illusion of the Heart Stone, and it was estimated that he was not far from the requirements of the Yuan Shen of the Refining God Realm, and suddenly experienced cruel inner torture, which made him deeply understand what he was seeking, and when there was no sign of breakthrough, he was naturally promoted to the refining god.

The tempering of the soul and the sublimation of emotions made this hot-blooded young man finally step into the realm of refining gods, and his cultivation strength skyrocketed again.

The blood is still not cold, and the Tao is in the heart!

The road to the strong begins now!

............

Capuch-end epilogue:

Following the first volume of "Qianqing Academy", the second volume of "Divine Sword Guard" also ended successfully, originally when the first volume was written, I was going to say something, but looking back, there were only 80 chapters, more than 200,000 words, the story has just begun, it seems that I am not qualified to express my feelings, so I held back, and waited until the second volume was written, before showing my face and saying a few words.

In the first volume, the story begins in Gujing Village, Mozhou, and tells the growth experience of the young Qi'an, killing bandits and killing enemies, being admitted to the hospital to study, being ordered to compete, winning the championship with difficulty, and finally ending with leaving the backer branch.

The second volume, with the introduction of entering the reserve camp of the Divine Sword Guard, what he saw and heard along the way and the thrilling, as well as the open and secret battles and oppression and exclusion in the reserve camp, and even became the official Divine Sword Guard, it was inevitable that the weak would eat the strong, and disputes would arise frequently, until the final expedition thundered, bloody extermination, the protagonist Qi An, finally completed a huge transformation of mind and emotion, the heart of the strong, thus erected, the way in the heart, no regrets!

If the theme of the first volume is growth, then the theme of the second volume is conflict.

In the first volume, although there are gangs doing evil, fish and meat in the country, but the cruelty of this world has not been fully shown, most of the pen and ink are depicting the growth process of the protagonist in the Qianqing school, as well as shaping the initial character character, and laying a lot of foreshadowing.

In the second volume, after leaving the school, the peaceful cultivation environment is gone, and all kinds of conflicts and oppression are inevitable everywhere, and the protagonist's belief is shaken because of this, and gradually from anticipation and yearning, to deep disgust, he is gradually distancing himself from the Sword King Mansion he serves, and there has been an irreparable huge rift, but it has also sublimated his soul because of this, and he has achieved refining gods.

As the title of this chapter says, the path of the strong begins in the present, and more wonderful things follow.

The story of the third volume then unfolds, called "Canglan Secret Realm", all the famous forces in Qingzhou will appear one by one, the magnificent history of immortals and demons slowly unveiled, the fierce conflict and fighting escalated again, and countless people will become blood sacrifices to promote the plot.

Let's see how the protagonist Qi An struggles to survive among the intricate major forces with his own strength, fights with people and the sky, and is the enemy of the whole world for the belief in his heart, poking a big hole in the blue sky above his head.

There have been readers who have commented before, saying that the first volume is not enough to portray the characters, for this, I want to explain that this is not a group portrait essay, this book is written to the end, it is likely that there will be hundreds of thousands of characters, I can't portray them one by one, I will only select a few key characters to shape in detail, this portrayal, not with a few paragraphs to describe directly, but through the promotion of the plot, through the character's behavior in the conflict of events, to slowly shape and gradually plump,

For example, the initial character of the protagonist, in fact, has been depicted in detail in the first volume, he is honest and kind, affectionate and righteous to relatives and friends, but ruthless to evil bandits, decisive in killing, seemingly gentle to others, oppressed and unyielding, fighting to the end, as said in the introduction, life and death are downlooked, and if you don't accept it, you will do it.

Of course, this is just the initial character, people will change, as a male protagonist who focuses on portrayal, after experiencing some things and understanding some truths, his personality will also change. After a series of plot events in the second volume, especially at the end of the volume, the protagonist Qi An's mood has quietly changed and has a different feeling.

People will always be affected by the environment they are in, that is, it is often said that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, and there will be new conflicts and new contradictions in the third volume, and the character of the protagonist will still add some new things.

In addition to the main character, there are some important characters that I am trying my best to portray.

Take the first two volumes as an example, the knife king Liu Jingyu needless to say, the brutal and ruthless image jumped on the paper, Xiaoyou, who was rescued by Qi An, will also have a lot of scenes in the future, as well as the dog demon Lao Hei and the demon Zun Moro, this demon is also an important role, and it is also the focus of the portrayal, and even Qi Shaoshan, who has not appeared, Qi An's mysterious biological mother, or even not very important, such as the short-lived Qin Xiang, will have a plump character image, and wait for me to show it slowly.

As for the large number of tricks in the book, it is just a tool to promote the plot, forgive me for my limited energy, I can't let them all have prominent personalities, plump and three-dimensional, because the narrative of the book must be detailed and appropriate, if everything is very detailed, there is no point, I hope forgive me!

If readers can see this, they may think that this is a monk's text, only the male protagonist, no female protagonist, in fact, this is not the case, even if the author is a eunuch, it is impossible to make the protagonist the last, emotion is an eternal topic, family, love, friendship, passion, all indispensable, everyone can rest assured, the heroine will definitely have, and even appeared before, but the emotional entanglement with Qi An will be officially launched in the third volume.

I would like to explain here that there is a certain reason why the author did not write about love in the first two volumes.

In the first volume, Qi An is young and ignorant of the love between men and women; in the second volume, most of the time he is in the battle and cultivation of the iron-blooded military camp, and he does not have the conditions for the budding of love; as for the third volume, Qi An, who is nearly twenty-one years old, is already a well-developed good guy, and finally has the qualifications to flirt with girls.

Next, let's talk about some of the settings of this book, such as the cultivation realm and the martial arts realm, the level division and detailed characteristics of each realm, I have talked about it, step by step, deepen understanding, try to be reasonable, logical, not like other fantasy books, the division of grades has only a simple name, one level to two levels, two levels to three levels, only the magnitude is increasing, changing a name, but the essence has not changed.

Because of this, the fighting pictures in this book are also constantly escalating, from the martial artist's fists and feet, to the monk's true vitality, to the almighty's heavenly means, every fight, I will try to write a different feeling, the more to the back, the more exciting, all kinds of weird genres have appeared, unique killing methods emerge in endlessly, the cultivation of the true strong show their magical powers, and the fight scenes are more shocking.

The reason why it is written like this is to keep the story fresh, not a thousand words, to avoid new bottles of old wine, to change the soup without changing the medicine, when everyone reads and savor, the careful will definitely taste a different taste.

Finally, the world view, the world of this book is not a jump map for a map, but on the basis of the original map gradually unfolded, slowly expanded, the whole world can be said to be very grand, Qingzhou is only a drop in the ocean, the big dry is not a small land, the world is big, not a word can be described, can only be revealed one by one, tell the story. The author can pat his chest and guarantee that he will vividly show a bizarre and colorful world of cultivation for everyone.

The story will become more and more exciting, I hope you will actively comment, the evidence is insufficient, and recommend and collect, I am grateful, thank you!
