In the small courtyard where Changning lives, there are three or five people gathering to drink and talk about it every once in a while, which is almost a fixed schedule in the forging hall for half a year. The disciples of the Sword Shrine can't say much, and it's not too little, but it is sprinkled between the thousand peaks, and then the ones that go out to walk are removed, and what Changning can often see is only a few palms.

On this day, Changning practiced swords in the courtyard as usual, and after the finishing breath was gone, he heard the sound of slamming the door.

"Xiao Changning, open the door, open the door, let's have lunch!" Before Changning could open the door, the sound of the deer had already passed through the gate.

opened the door, as expected, Lu Ming was in front, Tao Ran and Wei Gu were side by side, and then behind was Senior Sister Chi Man.

The four of them are all seniors in the door, and Senior Brother Tao Ran is from a similar background to Changning, and he is also the son of a hunter in the mountains. When he was young, he was taken by the passing Sword Mound Elder and brought him into the sect to practice. Counting the entry age, it is much younger than the current Changning. He is now a cultivator of the five-step upper realm, second only to a few demons who have entered the six-step realm early in the younger generation, and he is also about to break through the realm. A hand-handed sword trick inherits the meaning of the authentic river, not vines or branches, and the foundation is solid, one of the best among its peers.

Senior Brother Weigu was born as a scholar, and because of his admiration for the legend of the poet sword fairy Qinglian layman, he worshiped the mountain gate. The practice is to follow the path of carrying the sword with words, and it is not the ordinary three-foot autumn water, but the sword with a pen and a book, which is not domineering enough, but it is a good hand in grappling. Once the poem and sword array is finished, ten thousand swords will be fired together, like a waterfall for three thousand miles.

Lu Ming is nominally a senior sister, but in fact, she is younger than Changning, but a few days before she got started, the first thing she said when she met was that she insisted that Changning call her senior sister, and there was no room for maneuver.

Senior Sister Chi is the daughter of a wealthy man in the state, and her family has a close relationship with the sword mound. It is rumored that the Chi family has followed the sword mound more than two percent of the entry and exit, and each generation of the Chi family has a quota to worship directly under the sword mound without assessment. Senior Sister Chi is extremely talented, and she asks four steps in the year of Xuan, which can be described as a promising future. For this reason, the ancestor of the Chi family threw down a large amount of resources at any cost, just hoping that one day she could step into seven steps, and at that time, looking at the whole state in the northwest, the Chi family's business would have nowhere to go.

The four of them came into the courtyard with a familiar car, moved the tables and chairs and sat down, and then took out the prepared rice wine and snacks and arranged them in a row. Changning smiled and watched them do it themselves, so he turned around and went into the kitchen, got a few simple appetizers and brought them out, and sat on the side to pick out their favorite snacks to eat.

"Changning, there is still sword intent in my courtyard, condensed but not chaotic, it looks like you have improved a lot compared to the last time we came. Seeing Changning sitting still, Vigu said approvingly.

"That is, Xiao Changning works so hard, of course it is obvious to enter the country, how can you be like Senior Brother Weigu, you just write poems and write every day, and you don't practice swords. Lu Ming grabbed a piece of dim sum in one hand, finally swallowed it in his mouth, and muttered.

"The pen is the sword, the ink is the meaning, and the poem is the sword move. I've been practicing swords all the time, so why did Senior Sister Lu say this?"

Lu Ming was busy eating the snack in his hand, wrinkling his nose and ignoring Weigu.

Chi Man sneered and said: "Senior Brother Weigu is from the inside and outside, and Senior Brother Changning is from the outside to the inside, so they have their own way, Xiaolu, if you have more time, you will naturally have your own way and understanding." ”

"She knows that. She just resented that I didn't buy her mung bean cake last time I went down the mountain. You don't see her these days, where is the slightest respect for her senior brother. Vigu slapped the folding fan on his head with a pained look.

"Hmph. ”

"It's all kids...... Xiao Changning, I'm really ashamed to come here every few days to eat and drink for nothing. Seeing that your one-step realm is becoming more and more consolidated, I watch the sunset over the long river, and I have recently realized a sword intent. It's better to use this sword intent as a side dish, if it can help you take two steps as soon as possible, I won't go back and fall asleep after eating white food. ”

It was Senior Brother Tao Ran who spoke.

"Hey, on weekdays, I ask you for some tips, and you have to wait for good wine to leak out so much. Why are you so generous today, and directly take a sword intent to drink?" Senior Brother Weigu was surprised, and pretended to be angry.

"Not to mention anything else, if you can also invite me to such a table of good dishes, I will also use the sword intent to eat. ”

"Last time you ate a full meal for nothing in Drunken Immortal Residence, you didn't give me half a word of thanks. ”

"That's what you lost to me than the sword, are you embarrassed to say it?" Senior Brother Tao said a word and took a sip of wine, and Senior Brother Weigu couldn't cry or laugh at the top, so he could only grimace at Changning.

Changning arched his hand and said: "Senior Brother Tao instructed the sword intent, although Changning is still shallow, he should also comprehend it wholeheartedly." ”

Tao Ran was originally an ordinary person who laughed and scolded, and Changning was extremely appreciative of his temperament. After getting along these days, I like this down-to-earth and low-key little brother more and more. What's more, in his opinion, as a senior, when the foundation of these new juniors is not solid, it is within his duty to teach and solve doubts on behalf of his teachers.

Looking around at the group of juniors and sisters, silently feeling the sound of the river rushing behind him rolling over the mountain peaks, Tao Ran held the hilt of the sword.

Changning felt a heroic aura from him.

The light-chasing sword was unsheathed, the sword sounded like a song, and there was a long groan. The sky flickered dark, and in this darkness, a little cold light squeezed out of it, just as the sun was about to set, and the last afterglow was the splendor when it returned. However, this splendor is not as powerless as the real sunset, but shines and then shines brightly, and there is a domineering atmosphere of dark night and day. A sword is majestic and majestic, and finally envelops the darkness into the sky.
