Chapter 2: Crescent Moon
The Book of Fantasy Blades
Chapter 1: Crescent Moon
"Huhu...... Since I broke through the mortal realm and stepped into the spiritual realm, my cultivation has not improved, not to mention the swordsmanship, it has been half a month...... It's still at the first level of the spirit realm. If there is no improvement in a few days, you can only trouble Uncle Gao. "On the top of Wufu Peak, a gray-clothed boy woke up from his meditation.
The simple and simple gray robe looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he has lost most of the childishness that should be present at this age, and has been replaced by tenacity and stability, especially those deep eyes, like the vast universe.
"With your own exploration, it is already a miracle to be able to reach the spiritual realm at the age of sixteen, what else can you ask for?"
Next to the young man, a worn and rusty iron sword bloomed with red light, and the light condensed together, and finally formed a humanoid girl, the girl was dressed in a blue dress, floating in the air, her face was peerless, like an immortal, with blue eyes and watery eyes, with a little playfulness.
"Is there anything you can do?" the boy was not surprised, as if he was familiar with the girl, and turned his head to look at her.
"Naturally, there is. ”
"What can ......?"
"But I don't want to help. The girl's tone was calm, as if she was playing, and after speaking, she turned into blue light particles and dissipated.
"How can you really refuse so bluntly...... Forget it, I didn't expect you in the first place, but can you not suddenly appear and disappear all the time?If those elders of the Sword Sect notice your presence, you and I will be doomed!" the young man finished speaking, then picked up the scabbard and got up to leave.
As soon as he took a few steps, the rusty iron sword shook and flew to the boy's side. The hilt of the sword struck him on the head, and finally flew directly into the scabbard.
"By the way, at this time, the crescent moon should send her mother's medicine!" the boy rubbed the place where he had been beaten, and ignored it. Ran directly on the top of Wufu Peak, jumped onto a boulder on the mountainside, and then sank into the stone steps between the mountains in a few clicks.
The young man's name is Hotaru River, and his mother's surname is Gu Su, who is just sixteen years old this year, and he just ran to Wufu Peak to secretly cultivate. Wufu Peak is a lone peak among the many steep peaks of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and there are almost no people in normal times. And there are important memories of him there.
The Gu Su family was originally a famous family, but because of an incident twenty years ago, the family was not only discredited, but now it has become a servant and miscellaneous servant of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Despite this, he has never had an inferiority complex or unwillingness, and he has never resented his parents, although he has suffered from the ridicule and insults of others in his life, he still strives to do everything well every day, neither humble nor arrogant, taking care of his seriously ill mother, and secretly cultivating, because he knows that in this cruel world, only the strong have the right to speak.
In terms of talent, at the age of sixteen, he can cultivate to the spiritual realm, which is already good for his peers, although it is not very demonic, but if he only relies on a little guidance from his uncle Gao Lingtian and his mother in the past ten years, he can explore this realm by himself?
It is conceivable that if there is a teacher's guidance and teaching, it will definitely be more than today's spiritual cultivation.
After a while, Gu Su Ying had already arrived at the familiar small stone room. The thatched stone houses are extremely simple, with huge cyan stones stacked in squares, most of which are already covered with moss, only half a zhang high, and people can just stand if they enter, and if they go in, they have to bend over. The top of the stone house is paved with thatch, and the style is almost the same, dense and complex, some of the stone houses are only separated by a wall between the stone houses, and some are lined up in a long and narrow alley, which looks like a small labyrinth at first glance, these are provided by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to the black iron level miscellaneous servants to live, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect even the miscellaneous servants have a strict hierarchy, the more advanced the more inside, of course, the better the living conditions.
Despite the best protection of Gao Lingtian, the father of the crescent moon, the other elders were still unwilling to let the Lonely Su Yinghe, who had the blood of both human and demon clans, tarnish the so-called reputation of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and in the end, an unknown Supreme Elder reluctantly left him behind. But it can only start from the lowest level of black iron miscellaneous labor. Of course, if it weren't for the gangsters who were obstructed by them, even without Gao Lingtian's relationship, with the ability of Gu Su Yinghe, he would have been promoted to the platinum-level servant of the Inner Sect. But these are not important to him, he wants to be stronger, because only by becoming strong can he break these rules, and only by becoming strong can he bring a better life to his mother.
"Although the current cultivation is not yet able to resist the sword, it has long become commonplace for the two peaks to go up and down, and now at most, it is okay to take a few breaths and breathe. This feeling of becoming stronger step by step by relying on your own efforts is so good!" Gu Su Yinghe gasped, remembering that it took almost a day to go down the mountain when he first started cultivating, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the kung fu that was now less than half an hour. He still clearly remembers the appearance of being scolded by the steward at that time, not to mention how embarrassed he was.
Looking at a girl in the alley of the stone house, with a long purple dress, she was only sixteen years old but had a graceful figure, her delicate facial features were crystal clear, and the small bell hanging in her hand made a jingling sound. That's not who else is the crescent moon.
"Crescent Yue'er, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, thank you uncle and aunt on my behalf, if it weren't for you during this time, my mother would probably not be able to survive. Even though Gu Su Yinghe is known for being sensible and strong, after talking about his mother, he still can't help but redden. He took the two herbs from Crescent Moon's hand and held them tightly.
Gu Su Yinghe has always understood that he and his mother have always been able to stay in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect because of the Gao family and the protection of Yue'er's father, who was one of the nine elders of the Sword Sect.
"Brother Firefly, you and I don't need to say this, hurry up and take the medicine back and fry it for your aunt to drink. I hope Aunt Ying can recover soon after drinking!"
The crescent moon is named Gao Yueya, and she grew up with Gu Su Yinghe since childhood, but due to the special identity of Gu Su Yinghe, and the people of the Phantom Sword Sect have many eyes, there is a lot of gossip, and the more you see the older you are, the less contact you see, Gao Yueya doesn't say it, and Gu Su Yinghe understands. They have had an inexplicable tacit understanding and trust since childhood.
Gao Yueya originally called him Fireflyer, but as she got older, she changed her name to Brother Firefly.
"Well, then I'll go back and decoct the medicine to my mother first. The narrow alley was covered with moss, and the light rain was falling, and Gu Su Yinghe just wanted to leave, but he felt that his hand was pulled.
"Wait, Brother Firefly, let's go this way. Gao Yueya took his hand with one hand and walked back, holding up the oil-paper umbrella that had been prepared long ago with the other.
Gu Su Yinghe noticed four or five people on the other side of the alley behind him. At once, I understood the intention of the crescent moon.
That is the famous son of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, who is one or two years older than Gu Su Yinghe, but he is left with a prominent family background and a little talent to make trouble everywhere.
The leader is called Ye Fan, and the family power is even more prominent, two of the current nine elders are members of the Ye family, Ye Fan is relying on the support of two elders, so he led a few people behind him in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to run rampant, Ye Fan has a good impression of the crescent moon, and usually gives the crescent moon a lot of courtesy, and the crescent moon is also quite disgusted with them. And Gu Su Yinghe, who often walks with the crescent moon, is a thorn in his side, he doesn't ask for less trouble on weekdays, and even secretly buys off the steward to make it difficult for Gu Su Yinghe.
There are a few people who are following Ye Fan, one is Du Zifang of the Du family, the other is Zhuang Xun of the Zhuang family and Xu Qingxuan of the Xu family, several of them also have a good family background, and several of them are only Ye Fan's head.
On weekdays, Gu Su Yinghe saw that they were all taking a detour, not because he was afraid, but because he didn't want to cause trouble, because he knew that this was never just his own business, he had a sick mother, and at the same time, he didn't want to add unnecessary trouble to the Gao family, so many years of enduring it, and thanks to their difficulties, it also made Gu Su Yinghe only sixteen years old with extraordinary forbearance and stability.
Obviously, the crescent moon pulled herself back to avoid meeting the men.
"Brother Fan, don't you see that girl Yueya in front of you?"
"Next to him seems to be the evil seed of the demon race!"
"Lonely Su Yinghe, hmph, let's go teach him a lesson!" Ye Fan looked at a man and a woman not far in front of him, holding hands, gritting his teeth, his face full of hatred and disdain.
"But this rain is getting heavier and heavier, Brother Fan, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first!"
"Damn, let this waste go this time! If this waste is smart enough, keep me away from Yueya, or I will have his good fruit to eat!!"
"It's good that I brought an umbrella, otherwise those annoying flies will come to trouble again, Brother Firefly, have you heard? Half a month later, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will hold a grand competition. Crescent Moon held the umbrella in front of Hotaru River.
"Well, I heard that there is basically no threshold for participants, as long as they are not more than twenty-two years old, and the reason why they can't be over twenty-two years old is because all the mentors and elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are over twenty-two years old, and the purpose of the trial is to stimulate the cultivation and fighting spirit of the younger generation of disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Hotaru took the umbrella. This matter is rumoring, and he still knows a little bit.
"Do you know what the winner's reward is?"
"The first place seems to be able to obtain the sword of the old man of the Shangqing Dynasty, the Qingfeng Sword, the Phantom Sword Spectrum ranks seventy-sixth, and it is one of the few divine weapons in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect that can enter the Phantom Sword Spectrum, and the sword spirit of the Qingfeng Sword has the power of the wind, and it is a sword with its own wind attributes. Hotaru said lightly.
"I know that Brother Firefly is not interested in this, and Crescent Moon believes that the rusty sword on Brother Firefly's waist is anything but ordinary. Yue'er said and looked at Gu Su Yinghe's waist, and said with a smile: "What I want to say is that the top five can enter the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Hidden Scripture Pavilion and choose a sword technique to cultivate, including the cabinet." ”
"Scripture Pavilion, sword technique?"
The Hidden Scripture Pavilion can be described as the treasure trove of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, there are countless treasures and sword tricks in it, which are usually not opened at will, and are guarded by many powerhouses of the Void Realm or even the Extreme Realm.
And the cabinet of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion is the sword mound of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, which treasures countless divine sword techniques, and is guarded by several Supreme Elders who do not know the realm of cultivation, and even the current Nine Great Elders cannot easily enter in normal times. Gu Su Yinghe knew this, but for a while he still couldn't figure out what the little girl was selling at Crescent Moon.
"Fool Firefly, the strength of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is all over the east of the continent, and the Library Pavilion must be all-encompassing, a bit of a medical classic, it's not strange that the biography of the saint is anything, and the top five can enter, Brother Firefly, you should be easy now. The crescent moon shook her hand, and the bell on her wrist jingled.
"That's right! The strength of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is strong, and it has been able to endure in the east of the continent for hundreds of years, it is definitely not its strength alone, it must be involved in the medical canonical elixir, if you can enter the library and find a volume of medical canons, maybe you can cure your mother's stubborn disease!" Firefly suddenly realized, even though he is usually steady and mature, but when he thought of being able to cure his mother, he almost jumped up happily, and then returned to his usual steady, and said: "I think that because of my mother's illness in the past three years, I have indeed pressed myself too tightly! ”。
"Aunt Ying has been suffering from a stubborn illness for three years, if it can really be cured, it will be great!" In an instant, he seemed to understand the tenacity and hardship of this teenager in the past three years.
Indeed, in the past three years, Yueya'er's father would invite some well-known doctors to come over from time to time to treat Gu Su Yinghe's mother, but he was helpless about his mother's stubborn illness.
He doesn't care how he is ridiculed and insulted, and he doesn't care that others stir up trouble and say that his stables are not washed and the horses are not fed, he just needs his parents to be healthy!
Everyone has a reverse scale, and his parents are his reverse scale. Now, his father's whereabouts are uncertain, and all he can do is protect his mother.
"However, the age limit of the participants is less than twenty-two years old, and of course six years of cultivation and experience cannot be made up for by talent, and those monsters in the inner sect are by no means comparable to Ye Fan's vulgar people, it seems that I need to work harder in the past half a month!"
"It's raining so hard, aren't you going to invite me in and sit?" Seeing that Gu Su Yinghe was immersed in the happiness of curing his mother, his face was full of fighting spirit and passion, and he stood in front of the door for a long time without seeing any movement, which was funny and angry.
Of course, she was more happy, she hadn't been able to chat with Gu Su Yinghe like this for a long time. This rain, it's good.
"Of course, of course!" Gu Su Yinghe scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, of course he knew that Yue'er would not be disgusted because of the simplicity of the house, and it was indeed that he was too happy, after three years of depression, he was finally able to relax a little, "I'm sorry, Yue'er, thinking that there can be a way to save my mother, I was too excited for a while, I will decoct my mother first, and then pour you tea later." ”
"Leave me out for so long, ignore you! I'll talk to Aunt Gu Su. Crescent Moon joked, then walked to the edge of the bed, shook her hand, and the little bell jingled, "Aunt Ying, Crescent Moon has come to see you." ”
"Little crescent, don't tease Ah Hotaru, Ah Ying doesn't have to pay attention to him if he is not sensible, Ah Aunt knows that you are back, I heard you chatting from afar, come and make tea for you, cough cough...... Ahem......"
"Aunt Ying, no need, no need, you are unwell, let the crescent moon pour it for you. Yueya watched Gu Su Ying get up, immediately helped her sit up, got up and snatched the teapot from Gu Su Yinghe's hand, and stuck out her tongue at him.
