At the beginning of the twenty-second month of the twenty-second year of Daqin Ningjing, it finally snowed in Ruyang City of Daqin, and the city was full of laughter.

There is even a saying in Jingzhong, this year, the prince moved into the palace, which added a lot of blessings to Daqin, Ruixue Zhaofeng Year.

It snowed on the 14th day of the lunar month last year, and although this year is still late compared with the past, compared with last year, it is still early, and next year's grain will not be as expensive as this year.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the poor families at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Ruyang City have been selling their ancestral property until they have no more than half an acre of land.

In the end, they can only rely on earning money to support the family, earning money outside is not smooth, it is inevitable to go home and not treat the daughter-in-law and children as people, after getting old, the kind old woman moved to live in the children's house, the old people are lonely, and they also want to go to the children's house to eat and drink, but the children do not recognize them.

The old people remembered that they used to be the same, they were very tired of earning money back then, they didn't treat their parents who could only eat as people, their children studied and studied, they didn't care, their son's strength, and the wharf could also feed the family, and what books did they waste money to read?

The old people only believe in the karma of Buddhism and Taoism when they are old, but it is too late to believe in it, and it will not help.

......

......

Liu Yi on Xuankong Mountain received a set of gray cotton robes, and he looked at the scrolls in the hut when he was warmly dressed, Mr. Xu was very clean, and he didn't want to make a fire in his house to stir up dust, so he also came to Liu Yi's house to rub the warmth.

Liu Yi got up and opened the door to watch the snow, the wind and snow outside the door quickly drifted into the house, Liu Yi quickly closed the door and dusted off the snowflakes on the cotton robe.

Liu Yi studied for a year, and Mr. Xu didn't test him, Liu Yi asked: "I've been studying with Mr. for a year, why doesn't Mr. take the school exam?"

Mr. Xu yawned, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, shook his head, and said: "Mr. only taught Mr. to read, and Mr. only taught the students to read no matter how well the students learned. ’”

Liu Yi sat back in his chair, stopped reading, looked up and asked, "Mr. has read so many sage books, how do you think you should read sage books?"

Mr. Xu laughed, "The four books of Confucianism, the five classics and the six arts, there are too many and too miscellaneous, and even some books are ambiguous and obscure, difficult to read, difficult to read thousands of books, even more difficult to walk thousands of miles, and extremely difficult to apply what you have learned." ”

Liu Yi looked into Mr. Xu's eyes and asked, "Mr. has you applied what you have learned?"

Mr. Xu put the books on the table, raised his hand forward, and laughed: "I have applied what I have learned, and I was caught by the Yin and Yang family last time." ”

Liu Yi stretched out his hand to bake the fire.

Mr. Xu was no longer interested in reading, and said with a smile: "It is also a year to study, and it is also a year to practice swords. ”

Liu Yi raised his head and asked, "Does Mr. persuade me to study or practice swords?"

Mr. Xu shook his head, "On the road of life, there are many paths to choose by yourself, and you can listen to the advice of others or not, and you have to think more about why some people say and why some people persuade you." ”

Liu Yi turned his head to look into the distance, his eyes seemed to have passed through the window paper, through the thick fog, and he said softly: "You should also think about why someone helps?"

Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "I decided to come to Xuankong Mountain when I knew that you were going to come to Xuankong Mountain, young people don't want to know the calculation and think about everything to the conspiracy, in this world, there are still many good people who want to believe, about killing people and saving people, after I read a lot of books later, I no longer dare to say it, but I don't know how to choose." ”

Liu Yi laughed and said: "Sir, do you think that if I Liu Yi doesn't read, or if I Liu Yi doesn't become a reader like my father, then my father is blind?"

Mr. Xu nodded.

Liu Yi sneered: "Lao Tzu hates anyone to help Lao Tzu choose the most in his life, and he doesn't look down on the elder brother who paved the way for Zhang Luo, Lao Tzu's road should be Lao Tzu has come to a fork in the road, just think about which way to go, you don't have to bother." The dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, which means that my father is a scholar, and I must be a scholar in the future, if I drop the scroll to practice the sword, even if I forget my ancestors, the truth of your scholars is unreasonable, no wonder my father wants to break the backbone of the scholar. ”

Mr. Xu was not angry, and said with a smile: "My generation of scholars looks at Mr., the mountains look up, and Mr. also said: 'A disciple does not have to be inferior to a teacher. ’”

Liu Yi got up and took the sword, and sneered: "My father picked me up, I don't know if he was wrong or not, but with all due respect, my father chose you as a student, which was a big mistake." ”

Liu Yi slammed the door with his sword, looking at the stone cliff, Liu Yi walked around the cliff, until there was no way out of the deep cliff, Liu Yi turned around and went up the stone ladder to the cliff.

The little Taoist boy on the ascension platform picked up a whisk of dust out of nowhere, and he used the dust pole to draw gossip.

Drawing gossip diagrams on such a huge square, Xiao Daotong painted casually, and it was extremely round.

After Xiao Daotong finished painting, he began to dig snow along the painting marks.

Xiao Daotong dug a wide snow trail and piled the snow on both sides by the way, and Xiaodao Tong smoothed the snow piled on both sides while digging the snow, so that the gossip would not look so abrupt in the future.

Xiao Daotong only looked up at Liu Yi after drawing the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

He didn't ask, and Liu Yi didn't speak.

Xiao Dao Tong said with a smile: "Poor Dao is a little worried that the crane will starve to death if he can't find food on a snowy day, and he thinks that you seem to want to occupy the Feisheng Platform to practice swords. ”

Liu Yi didn't speak.

Xiao Daotong left.

Liu Yi held the wooden sword that had been dyed black by sweat in his right hand, and the sky and the earth were covered in silver within a hundred miles, and the wind and snow were the same color within a thousand miles, and the wind and snow had become the color of dark clouds thousands of miles away.

On the huge and wide ascension platform, there is only one person and one sword left.

Liu Yi walked to the center of the Bagua Diagram step by step, his steps were extremely slow, but his martial arts foundation was extremely strong, and with this year's diligent practice, his steps were steady.

Liu Yi made a killing move, using one sword and three styles, and the wooden sword seemed to cut pieces of snowflakes falling from the air in half.

Liu Yi began to draw his sword to catch the wind and cut the snow.

He raised his sword and walked through the yin and yang sides of the center of the Bagua diagram, step by step, stepping on the snowflakes all over the ground, and cutting off the cold wind and snow in the yin and yang fish.

He walked between yin and yang with his sword, gentler than the top swordsman in the world, and more heroic than the qi practitioner who traveled between yin and yang.

He stepped on the edge of the gossip map, and at the moment he was deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, but he was not like a Taoist priest, but a swordsman.

He walked past the edge of the cliff of the Flying Ascension Terrace, concentrating, except for the sword, the rest of the things were gone.

He walked past the edge of the Baizhang low cliff of the Feisheng Terrace, and it seemed that he did not see the Taoist Buddhist Temple under the cliff.

Liu Yi's sword is extremely simple, and it is the sword moves that Baili Qingqing taught him, because he has learned the sword, the sword moves are not pure, and occasionally they are mixed with the moves of a long knife.

When the sword moves are mixed with knife techniques, there will always be wind and snow that have become fish that have slipped through the net, and they have not been chopped and broken by his sword blade.

Liu Yi stopped with all his strength, holding his sword and gasping for breath, the wind in the sky had a chance to blow across the Ascension Platform at this time, and the snow in the sky had a chance to fall on the Ascension Platform at this time.

Liu Yi looked down at the snowflakes that were trampled on the ground, seemed to ask and smiled, and said loudly: "With a sword in hand, where can you go in the world?"

In a trance, Liu Yi felt that he was holding a long river like glass, or a mountain bigger than Xuankong Mountain and Jiujun.

Liu Yi, who came back to his senses, looked down and saw that it was still a wooden sword, but it was not as good as when Baili Qingqing first gave it to him, and now the wood color was soaked in sweat and had turned black.

At this moment, Liu Yi read in a low voice: "The flying sword should go thousands of miles in the air, and one will be the second change of me, one day the wooden sword will become a rune sword, the flying sword will cut the yellow dragon, and the demon will be subdued and demons will be revealed, happy, faster than reading!"

After Mr. Xu, who had been watching Liu Yi, got up and closed the door, he cleaned up the snowflakes that were blown into the house by the wind, and said softly: "Sir, he is more attentive to sword practice than studying, and the students are powerless." ”

Xiao Daotong, who didn't dig up the earthworm, held the wooden basin around his waist with one hand, and held the hoe on his shoulder with the other, "With such thick snow, I dug in the vegetable garden for several hours, and half of the earthworm was not dug up, and it was driven out by the stinky monk, and the crane was hungry." ”

Liu Yi asked, "What does the crane eat?"

Xiaodao Tong laughed, threw out his head and wooden basin, and said with a smile: "The crane eats fish, shrimp, earthworms, and grains, and leaves, let's go to the monk's temple to steal rice!"

Liu Yi asked, "You can go, why do you take me?"

Xiao Daotong smiled: "First, the two of us can move more rice to fly to the platform, and second, you have a bigger face." ”

Two Taoist priests, one big and one small, got off the ascension platform, and Liu Yi carried two sacks in his thick cotton clothes, one large and one small.

After discussing for a while just now, Xiao Daotong insisted on taking a big bag, Liu Yi was worried that the greedy Xiao Daotong forgot how strong he was when he took a big bag to scoop rice, and if he broke his waist pole or something, it would be a big trouble.

Liu Yi only carried two bags, one large and one small, and he didn't plan to come back with a bag full of rice to help others be thieves, just meaning.

It is true that the two families of Buddhism and Taoism almost fought for Liu Yi, Liu Yi has a big face, but he only has a big face in ordinary times, and his face is not necessarily big when he is caught as a thief.

The two sneakily climbed over the wall into the kitchen of the monk's temple, and in the room, a fat-headed middle-aged monk was roasting a fire by the stove, and the monk put his arms on his knees, put his head on his hands, and dozed off staggeringly.

Xiaodao Tong stepped forward as a pioneer to clear the jars and jars on the thief's road, and Liu Yicai stepped forward to scoop rice.

The hemp bag scooped up half a bag, the small sack scooped a small half a bag, Liu Yi ignored Xiao Daotong's eager expression, and he also ignored Xiao Daotong's movements of opening his teeth and dancing claws, threw most of the half bag of 100 meters on his shoulder, and quietly went out.

After Xiaodao Tong saw Liu Yi go out, he looked at the rice bowl with so many rice, and then looked at the small half bag of rice, he was really unwilling, and quietly scooped the bag full.

Xiao Daotong was about to throw the bag full of rice on his shoulder, but he couldn't lift it after two attempts, and he immediately regretted that he was greedy, but thinking of the hungry crane, he tightened his belt and carried the white rice in one go.

The two sneaked out of the monk's temple, sneaked through the Taoist temple, and began to swagger up to the ascension platform.
