After the beginning of winter, the sky is already cold.

Lingyun Mountain is sometimes shrouded in a layer of mist, which seems mysterious and unpredictable, Lin Chuyun often looks up at the top of the mountain, thinking, how long do you have to walk to climb this mountain?

Zhao Changfeng and his entourage have also returned, and reported to the head of Lingyun about the strange things they saw on this trip, and when they learned of the death of the sword saint Li Zongyuan, they couldn't help but be saddened, and they knew that the leader of the Demon Sect, Helian Ji, died under the sword aura of the sword immortal Gu Bai, and the Demon Sect was also severely injured by the officials and soldiers, and it was a great joy, and the crisis in the rivers and lakes was lifted, and the head of Lingyun sighed: "The Central Plains martial arts, there are many talents!"

These days, Lin Chuyun has been constantly strengthening his thatched hut, as if it already has the shape of a house to resist the wind and cold. He was clever enough to exchange some of his rations for some winter wheat seeds from the tenants of nearby villagers, and he had already planted them in time.

He farmed with his grandparents when he was a child, so he naturally knew how to farm. I thought that I would harvest this crop of winter wheat in time for next spring and summer, and I would be able to plant a patch of corn and sorghum in time. In this way, before the disciple competition at the time of the autumn harvest, he would have a great advantage in the grain harvest.

In addition to farming, it is to practice swords.

The thirty-six Lingyun swordsmanship is gradually familiar, and he knows it well from the first style to the last style, but Lin Chuyun is not such an easily satisfied teenager, he must be strong in his heart, and he must think carefully about the mystery in the swordsmanship, he thinks, it is not simply a simple swordsmanship from beginning to end, there must be something that he has not understood.

Although he is thin, his resolute eyes seem to say four words: I want to be stronger!

Losing all his relatives and living in the rivers and lakes, the experience of the past few years has taught him one thing, only by becoming stronger, can he have the dignity of being a human being, otherwise, he is a street child who is despised, looked down upon by everyone, and trampled under his feet.

Practicing Lingyun's swordsmanship well was his only hope of becoming stronger.

"Hello, this fellow brother!" a slow and thick voice came from behind Lin Chuyun.

He looked back, and sure enough, a tall figure appeared in front of him, two heads taller than Lin Chuyun, looking taller than Senior Brother Zhao Changfeng, with a strong body, wearing a brown-gray cloth coat, and he was obviously from a poor background. This big man, Lin Chuyun had also seen it when they were learning swordsmanship together, but they had never spoken.

When such a person appeared in front of him, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, Lin Chuyun had a lot of worries in his heart, so he had to hug his fists and say, "Hello, who are you?"

Lin Chuyun spoke with three points of coldness, even if he was a fellow disciple, he didn't dare to be too kind, the experience of wandering made him understand that people are sinister, and often the most fierce person who bullies the poor is the poor. is because of his sentence, there is less etiquette, and if you are a bystander, I am afraid that you have already heard the unkindness in your words.

The man scratched his head in a daze, and said: "My name is Zhang Tianpeng, and I have just entered our Lingyun Sect and become a disciple under the mountain, and I have been practicing the Lingyun swordsmanship given to us by my senior brother these days, but unfortunately I am a little stupid and I can't understand it, so I want to find fellow disciples to practice swordsmanship together, maybe we can learn from each other and make progress!"

Lin Chuyun saw that he was talking with a feeling of being stunned, and he had already relaxed his vigilance, and suddenly heard him say "Let's talk", Lin Chuyun's heart sank, and he thought: I see, I came to make an appointment.

Sure enough, the rivers and lakes are sinister, when he was a homeless child, these homeless children often fought with each other to determine who was the boss of this area, but I didn't expect that this was only more than a month after coming to Lingyunmen, at the foot of the famous and decent mountain, the same thing was staged again, although Lin Chuyun was in the rivers and lakes, but he had his own inner insistence, this kind of subjugation of others by force was not done by a righteous gentleman, but, if people don't offend me, I will not offend anyone, if people want to offend me, I will never take a step back.

Lin Chuyun nodded, knowing that the person in front of him was much taller than himself, and the competition was definitely more auspicious, but how could he bear to be soft when he was strong in his heart?

Zhang Tianpeng clasped his fists and saluted, "Brother, we are just talking, it's better to be careful!"

When Lin Chuyun heard this, it was tantamount to a war letter, he didn't speak again, his eyes stared at the wooden sword in the opponent's hand, and he stabbed it with one move.

Zhang Tianpeng also made a move to block Lin Chuyun's sword. Lin Chuyun's stab was just a false move, and then he used three moves one after another, all of which Lin Chuyun had mastered, and the coherence between the moves was still a little worse, but at this moment, it was enough to repel Zhang Tianpeng's attack.

Zhang Tianpeng took two steps back, and said with a smile: "What a beautiful swordsmanship, I see!"

Lin Chuyun didn't know what he was talking about, thinking that he was sarcastic, but before he could gain a firm foothold, he stabbed him with his sword again. The two of you went back and forth for more than ten rounds. In their hearts, they all feel that they are all dangerous moves, but they are all beginners in sword training, if in the eyes of experts, they will inevitably laugh when they see such a duel, which makes the sword look naïve and clumsy.

Lin Chuyun also saw that this big man's thirty-six Lingyun swordsmanship was also proficient, but it was still worse than himself, and the pause between his moves was much larger, and there was no coherence at all. Lin Chuyun had the courage to attack three times in a row, directly taking the heart of the big man.

Who knows, Zhang Tianpeng made a move to chop down from the beginning, Lin Chuyun's heart was not good, at this moment he was making a move, leaning forward, if Zhang Tianpeng split it with all his strength, he would be difficult to match even if he returned his hand, that person was such a big man, he must have infinite strength, Lin Chuyun had to secretly complain in his heart, but he still instinctively turned the wooden sword back.

Who knew that Zhang Tianpeng's chopping move did not go all out, but he just used a move Lingyun swordsmanship step by step, which was blocked by Lin Chuyun's wooden sword, and it also looked soft and weak, Lin Chuyun used Lingyun swordsmanship to make several moves in a hurry, and there was no order, but there was a move that inadvertently hit Zhang Tianpeng's wrist, Zhang Tianpeng was in pain, and the wooden sword fell out of his hand and fell to the ground.

Lin Chuyun won by luck, knowing that he had used all his strength, and even used his almost rogue style of play.

He looked at the big man in front of him, and said in his heart that if this person admits defeat, it can be regarded as the favor of God, and he can keep himself safe for a while, if he is provoked to fight back on the spot, he can also use the morality of the rivers and lakes to excuse himself, after all, he did knock down his long sword, Lingyunmen is a decent family, no matter who decides, he is reasonable, and he is not afraid that he dares to cheat.

Who knew that Zhang Tianpeng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Good swordsmanship, really powerful, haha!" As he spoke, he gave Lin Chuyun a thumbs up.

Lin Chuyun was also stunned, he had always been smart, seeing that this person was dumbfounded, he suddenly seemed to understand something, and asked, "This senior brother, you won't really come to practice swords, right?"

"Ah, yes, I didn't expect those two moves you made just now, I seem to understand a little, Lingyun swordsmanship should be practiced like this. He laughed and scratched his head.

Only then did Lin Chuyun understand that this person was pure-minded, and he never thought that those so-called battles in the rivers and lakes were really looking for someone to practice Lingyun's swordsmanship, and it was he who was too careful.

He laughed and said, "So that's the case, you scared me, I thought it was ......"

"What?" Zhang Tianpeng asked blankly when he saw him say this.

"Ah...... Haha, nothing, nothing, your hand is fine, I didn't grasp it well just now, and it was a little heavy to accidentally get started. Lin Chuyun said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, people who practice martial arts, what is this pain in the flesh! ”

Lin Chuyun said again: "However, the Lingyun Sword you just now did make me think of some situations that I had never thought of. ”

"Okay!"

As he spoke, the two of them reviewed the competition they had just learned, discussing how to be coherent between the moves, and which move might be better, and before they knew it, the two practiced for two hours.

It wasn't until they sweated slightly and breathed in the mist in the cold that the two rested on the ridges.

"How old are you this year, how did you get so tall?" Lin Chuyun asked.

"Fifteen years old. ”

"Fifteen years old?" Lin Chuyun exclaimed, "I'm only fourteen years old, can you be so much taller than me?"

Zhang Tianpeng smiled, scratched his head and said, "I don't know, I've grown up since I was a child." ”

"How did you come to Lingyun Gate?" Lin Chuyun said.

"My family is in a village in the land of Heluo, the village provoked bandits, and the whole village was killed, so I fought with them, holding such a big piece of wood, they didn't kill me for a while, fortunately I met the senior brother of Lingyunmen, and beat away the bandits, but unfortunately there was nothing left in the village, and my father and mother also died, so I followed. As he spoke, Zhang Tianpeng looked stunned, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry.

Lin Chuyun sighed and said: "Everyone is a poor person, so they will come here, the world is not kind, don't be too sad, when you have practiced the Lingyun Sword, we will go and return the world to justice!"

"Okay! We must practice swordsmanship well, and God will be fair!" Zhang Tianpeng heard this, and a sense of righteousness also surged in his heart.

"It's not a small tone!" a sharp voice came from not far away.
