Zhongzhou, on the shore of Fengming Lake.

The sun is rising, and the earth is about to usher in the baptism of sunshine after a night's rest, opening a new day full of vitality.

But seeing that the terrain here is open, a large area of grass and green land spreads out on both sides of the riverbank, and the distant mountains are looming, hazy and beautiful.

An old passenger ship slowly navigated through the mist.

In the mountains, there are several places where the trickling water meanders down from the mountain pass, gently merging into this quiet and serene Fengming Lake.

In the morning air, there is a strong smell of lake water, mixed with a faint fragrance......

I don't know when it started, a crisp flute suddenly broke into the green mountains on both sides of the river, tactful and brisk, like a breeze blowing slowly, full of comfortable and beautiful feelings, and the scenery that can be seen in front of you cleverly blended together, if you ask where the flute is born, I don't know where it comes from!

At this moment, there will be a kind of frolicking in a trance, which is refreshing, and I really hope that this moment will stay forever......

Looking at the passenger ship again, I saw a slender middle-aged man standing at the bow of the boat, wearing a silver robe, with some stains on the corners of his clothes, and a red three-foot long sword diagonally stuck behind him.

He stood with his hands in his hands, his starry eyes slightly closed, and his rather handsome face could see his joy and enjoyment at this time, probably attracted by the wonderful sound of the flute! Who was this man? It turned out to be the middle-aged swordsman who appeared at the mass grave last night.

In the cabin, there was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, who was lying on a wooden plank in the cabin, covered with a thin layer of bedding.

He seemed to be asleep, but by looking at his face, he knew that he had not slept well last night, and the sunlight that shone in from outside the cabin shone on his little face, a little haggard and a little pale......

After a while, I saw that his face was a little ugly, and then turned to pain, there were traces of tears under his long eyelashes, and a pair of small hands kept scratching in the air, presumably a nightmare.

"Uncle...... Uncle...... Don't you go...... Don't go...... Ah......h

Tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of the young man's eyes at this moment......

"Squeak!"

The cabin door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in.

He walked up to the young man, squatted down, and the middle-aged man looked at his sad face and gently wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

It didn't take long for the boy to be dazed and slowly open his eyes, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw this familiar and strange middle-aged man, and the man smiled at him.

The young man got up and sat up slowly, a pair of big watery eyes turned, and quietly looked at the man in front of him, as if he regarded the middle-aged man as a treasure, and carefully examined it. And the middle-aged man looked at his curious appearance and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.

The middle-aged man looked at him quietly and whispered to the young man, "We're on the boat now, let's be hungry! After speaking, he handed over a few warm steamed buns in his hand to the young man.

Hearing this middle-aged man say this, the young man's stomach naturally "cooed", his little face was red, but he was really hungry, so he took the steamed bun and devoured it.

Due to the rapid eating, the boy hiccuped several times in a row, and from time to time glanced at the man with a pair of eyes, and the middle-aged man patted his back with one hand......

In a short time, two or three steamed buns have been solved.

The boy touched his stomach with his hand and felt it to see if he was full.

Then, he raised his head to look at the middle-aged man, sorted out his emotions, the previous depressed mood was now a lot lighter, and the young man said: "Big hero! I know you, the old gentleman in the inn used to talk about you, and your story!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked straight and asked a little playfully, "Oh...... Have you ever seen me?"

The middle-aged man asked rhetorically, the young man's eyes rolled a few times, and then a smile bloomed on his face, and he said, "Didn't we meet last night......!

"Oku......"

The middle-aged man replied lightly, he shook his head slightly, thinking that this young man was really witty and interesting, so his originally deep face was now a little helpless.

The two did not talk again, and the air was quiet for a while......

After a long time, the young man gradually put away his smile, his face darkened, he fell into deep thought, remembering the shocking scenes of the mass grave last night, those images kept coming to his mind, the tragic death of several housekeepers and shopkeepers in the Haiyun Inn, those murderous monsters...... His uncle was covered in blood......

The young man's eyes gradually filled with tears again, and he choked up, "Did all those monsters die last night?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded and let out a long sigh, "Yes, I don't know how many people were killed by those demons last night, don't worry!

After hearing this, the young man nodded, and a sadness welled up from the bottom of his heart, he held back his tears and said, "My uncle...... He...... Is he really dead? Is he leaving...... "How he wished the man in front of him would tell him that his uncle was still alive, but ...... It's just deceiving yourself.

The middle-aged man looked at the young man, not knowing what kind of relationship he had with the butcher, remembering that he had fallen asleep with heart-rending crying last night, and he couldn't bear it, so he reached over and hammered his messy broken hair.

"Child, don't worry, your uncle and I have buried him well, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to live well for your uncle!" the middle-aged man comforted him.

The boy didn't say anything anymore, and Douda's tears still couldn't help but flow.

The middle-aged man wiped the tears that had fallen for him with his hands, gently hugged him in his arms, and said softly: "Cry! ”

“......”

After a long time, the young man gradually stopped crying, and he sobbed: "I hurt my uncle, I shouldn't have sneaked out alone, and I shouldn't have gotten into the secret passage without listening to him, it's all my fault......"

"Child, listen to me, it's not your fault, life and death in this world should have its natural laws, what is destined to happen still happens, and no one can stop it. The middle-aged man said earnestly and comfortingly.

He then added: "As long as you live, there will be hope, it's okay, now it's all over." ”

The cabin was a little shaky at this time, and there was a "creaking, creaking" sound.

When the middle-aged man saw that the young man's mood was gradually stabilizing, he asked, "Is there anyone else in your family? What is your name?"

The boy shook his head and remained silent for a long time.

Then he thought for a moment before he said: "I am an orphan without a father and mother, and I was about to starve to death in the snow when I was seven or eight years old, and it was my uncle who saved my life!"

He continued: "My parents gave me a name 'Xiao Ye'er' before, but I almost forgot the name because I didn't think it sounded. All along, my uncle only called me a stinky boy a lot, and that's it. ”

The middle-aged man didn't expect this young man to have such a miserable life experience, and what should he do in the future? He fell into a long contemplation.

"Would you like me to give you a name?" the middle-aged man said earnestly as he looked at the young man.

The young man who was still in his mind just now, when he heard this, he raised his head, his eyes were full of emotion and joy, although he was used to not having a name for so long, but now the big hero he has always admired said that he wants to give him a name, naturally he can't ask for it.

The middle-aged man nodded and pondered for a moment, and said, "What is your uncle's surname?"

The young man didn't think about it, and replied: "Uncle, his surname is Gu, and the guys in the inn call him Sankuizi!"

The middle-aged man stood up and thought to himself: He was going all the way to the south, and was about to return to the master's gate, he said happily: "Son, you will be called Gu Nanyun in the future!"

After hearing this, the young man's originally red and swollen eyes turned a little red, and he muttered softly, "Gu Nanyun...... Gu Nanyun ......"

After the boy read it a few times, he became familiar with it, and from then on he was no longer called a stinky boy, his name was Gu Nanyun.

At this time, I saw the young man facing the middle-aged man, he knelt on his knees, and kowtowed......

"Child, you don't have to make such a big gift, get up quickly!" said the middle-aged man, as he was about to help him up.

Only listened to Gu Nanyun's pleading tone and said: "Great hero, I want to worship you as a teacher and learn skills, please accept me as an apprentice!"

The middle-aged man saw that this young man was good-looking, and when he first saw him, he found that his root bone talent was not bad, but he had already wanted to bring him into the Yunhua Sword Sect to settle down.

"Haha"

He looked up and smiled, and said, "I thought it was somewhere, but in fact, I wanted to bring you under my door for a long time, so that you could have a place to live." As soon as you say that, it's just right, hurry up!" The middle-aged man was very happy and hurriedly helped the young man up.

Gu Nanyun got up, patted the dust on his clothes awkwardly, bowed like an adult, and said, "Thank you Master for your success, the apprentice will practice diligently and cultivate his skills in the future!"

I remember that when he was in Haiyun Inn before, he always had a dream hidden in his heart, hoping to worship the sect one day, but now that he thinks about it, he has successfully worshiped the master and entered the sect, and he is very happy in his heart.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Well, don't be in a hurry to call me Master first, wait for me to go back and report to the Master, I'm making plans!"

Gu Nanyun's face sank after hearing this, and he touched his head and smiled: "I don't care, anyway, I only think you are my master, don't rely on it!"

The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, touched Gu Nanyun's forehead with his hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled......

It is said that this middle-aged man is Song Beiluo, the eighth-generation disciple of the "Yunhua Sword Sect", the first major sect of cultivation on Yunhua Mountain, and also serves as the Lingyun Sword Envoy. He is a Taoist master with outstanding skills, and he is also a generation leader of the Yunhua Sword Sect.

Somewhere in the middle state.

Song Beiluo took Gu Nanyun all the way to the south to fly the sword, and it didn't take long for him to enter the Shuzhou region.

Shuzhou is located in the south of the vast land of Kyushu, from Zhongzhou through the mountain plank road, is to come to Zhong Lingyuxiu's Shuzhou.

The scene in front of me is very different from Zhongzhou, the mountains are undulating, the mountains are undulating, the strange peaks are stacked, and the strange rocks are craggy. Most people in the world call it the fairy mountain, and it is also the place where there are many people who seek immortals and ask questions.

Throughout the ages, there are many strange people in Shuzhou, living in seclusion among the steep peaks. They have their own immortal magic weapons, above the magic weapons to chase the wind and the moon, or the sea of stars to gallop. And the Yunhua Sword Sect is located on the top of the world-famous Yunhua Mountain in Shuzhou.

In addition to the many birds and beasts here, it is also rich in rare medicinal materials, and there are naturally many spiritual trees and lucidum grasses in the mountains. The open area is also rarely inhabited, and most of the houses are located in the mountains.

The residents of the mountains should be nurtured in the nature of heaven and earth, hidden in the city, and nourished by the aura and moonlight in the mountains, they are also long-lived and healthy, and have a bit of immortal-like appearance, and are at ease.

A red meteor object shuttles through dangerous peaks and cliffs, or flies through deep valleys and dense forests, sometimes faster and sometimes slower.

A huge waterfall on the mountainside rushes to the foot of the mountain, and a rainbow of colors rises in the sunlight.

Beyond a few green lakes, before they could stop and admire, they got farther and farther away until they disappeared. At this time, occasionally a few large white birds will fly by, and their calls will be ethereal and echoing......

Gu Nanyun squinted slightly, grabbed the corner of Song Beiluo's clothes tightly with both hands, he was afraid that he would fall down if he was not careful, and his little red face didn't know whether it was blown by the wind or the blazing sun.

After the flight a few days ago, he was still a little scared and a little worried at the moment......

Walking through mountains and dense forests, and passing over strange scenes, all made his heart ripple and linger.

And now, all the worries in my heart will disappear, and I will strive to sprint forward, leap over thousands of mountains and rivers with my dreams, and travel between heaven and earth with faith.

Flying a few miles further to the higher peaks, the mountains are getting steeper and steeper, reaching into the sky, and when you look down, you can already see a sea of clouds under your feet.

At this time, the flying sword gradually slowed down. I saw two towering peaks standing side by side, a stone archway across the two peaks, two thick white jade pillars were lifted to the sky, and the golden glazed tiles looked shining in the sun.

Directly above the building, neatly written "Yunhua Sword Sect" four golden characters, the style is extraordinary, looking from a distance, the font seems to be faintly swimming.

The flying sword stopped on a spacious and vacant stone platform, and then the flying sword landed on the ground and dissipated into mist, and Song Beiluo and Gu Nanyun, who were standing on the sword, landed smoothly.

In front of them, a finely carved white jade stone ladder appeared, about a few zhang long, and connected to the mountain gate of Yunhua Sword Sect.

Song Beiluo tidied up his wrinkled clothes, raised his head and stared, and said to Gu Nanyun: "This is the mountain gate of Yunhua Sword Sect, Yun'er, let's go in!"

When the two white-clothed disciples guarding the mountain gate saw that it was Song Beiluo and a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, they all bowed their hands together and said, "Uncle Song, you have come back safely......!

Song Beiluo nodded, indicating that he understood, and then took Gu Nanyun's hand and entered the mountain gate.

As soon as I entered the mountain gate, my vision became broader, and I saw several wide and slender white jade plank roads in front of me standing in the air above the sea of clouds, looming. Like a streamer, it floats in the sea of clouds.

There are still steep peaks all around, and the clouds are swirling, like a light veil.

Gu Nanyun followed closely behind Song Beiluo, walking on the overhead white jade plank road, walking in the clouds, as if he was out of the world.

A few cranes flew out of nowhere, flying over the plank road with a scream all the way, and the scene in front of them was like a dream, and it was as ethereal and distant as a fairyland.

Walking further, I saw a strange peak on top of a vast white jade circular square, the light flickered, the whole square was surprisingly large, making people feel small.

On the square, almost all Yunhua disciples were practicing martial arts and swords in an orderly manner, or parading side by side.

In the center of the square, there is a huge and prominent disc pattern, on which is carved a white jade sword, the sword body is wide and long, translucent and shiny.

On its square edge, there are four huge bronze tripods, which are placed in the southeast and northwest directions, and there is light smoke floating in the tripod from time to time, and its flavor is clear and not dispersed.

The white jade plank road that crosses the clouds from all sides intersects with this square as the center, and there are five plank roads in total, which stretch out like white ribbons from a distance......

And in the distance on the mountainside, the waterfall falls into the rock, and the rainbow is horizontal, which is magnificent.

Some of the terrain or protruding, some or recessed, basically similar to the palace of the building building by the mountain along the trend, looking from a distance, Qiongtai building, looming in the confused fog, with a little mysterious beauty and some out of reach.

A dull bell rang from the side of the main hall, resounding throughout the mountains, drowning out the whispers of birds and beasts around it.

The sun is setting, probably because Yunhua Mountain is growing too tall, and even the sun seems to be close to each other. At this moment, it has already sunset, passing through the abyss canyon and the sea of clouds above the buildings, which is particularly magnificent.

Gu Nanyun's mouth opened wide, and he was overwhelmed as he walked and watched, looking particularly surprised and unbelievable along the way.

Sometimes he smiles like a flower, sometimes he is stunned, sometimes he sighs......

The two crossed the white marble square and went straight up the white jade staircase to the center, which led to Qingyun Peak.

On the mountainside of Qingyun Peak, a magnificent palace rises in front of them, resplendent and brilliant, making people awe-inspiring and majestic.

Above the door of the main hall, a plaque with a blue background with a gold border is hung. The plaque is prominently engraved with three big characters "Tsinghua Palace".

Qingyun Peak is the main peak among the five peaks of Yunhua, the residence of the heads of the previous dynasties, and it seems that it is also an important place for the entire Yunhua Sword Sect to discuss important matters, it should be right.
