Yangzhou, the capital of the river, is also called the fairy temple. Legend has it that the two female Taoist priests of Du Kang, who led the cultivation of Our Lady of Tanglin Temple, cultivated their true bodies here and became famous as immortals. Yangzhou waterway access leads to the unexpected prosperity of this place, "the world is three points of bright moon night, two points of scoundrels are Yangzhou" here literati and ink writers are also extraordinarily many, the beauty of the Jiangnan water town is not only because of the beautiful scenery, the humanities are euphemistic, but also the children of the south of the Yangtze River raised by this side of the water and soil, so there is 'spring breeze ten miles Yangzhou Road, roll up the bead curtain is always better. Jiangnan has been prolific and beautiful since ancient times, so it is not difficult to imagine that those so-called literati have always run here.

There is a house on the edge of a moat in Yangzhou City, and no one is seen entering or leaving on weekdays, but every evening, there will be vegetable households pulling a cart of vegetables, fruits and grains into it, and then the empty car pulls out, although this behavior is not peculiar, but every day like this, it always makes people suspicious. Some do-gooders want to go in and see what is going on, but when they approach the door, a butler will come out and drive them away. Strange to say, those little guys are really in their prime, and they can't be more than a sixty-year-old man, and they come back deflated one after another. The more this happens, the more curious people are about what's inside.

"Lord Taiwei, you must show your majesty my fold, it is really a matter of great urgency," a white-haired household official took a fold and handed it to Lord Taiwei Yi Bojian, who opened the fold and looked at it carefully for a while, frowning. "This is the seventh of this month, what are these state pastors doing to eat, can't this little thing be handled?" Then he gently stroked his beard with his right hand, thought for a while and waved his hand to the household official, "You go back first, I will make peace with Your Majesty." "Thank you, sama!".

After the minister of the household department had left, the lieutenant turned around and returned to the study, and began to continue the trial of the various places, and while reviewing, he said to an old man on the side, "Hubu Shangshu, what do you think about the case of the abduction of children who came in?" Standing next to him was the supreme leader of the Hubu, one of the famous six departments. Lord Shang Shu was obviously not familiar with this, and he didn't answer for a long time. Seeing that he couldn't say a word for a long time, Taiwei glanced at him and said, "That's right, you Shangshu adults are thinking about some expedient measures in the officialdom, how do you understand these folk sufferings, it has been six years since the change of Yinping, and Your Majesty has not yet gone to court." The power block under this can't stand it, Your Majesty's game of chess is a bit big!" "Silence!" A neutral voice came from outside the door, and then a figure walked to Yi Bojian's side in three steps and two steps. Yi Bojian got up and saluted and said, "It turned out to be Lord Xiangcheng, and I missed the welcome!" The person who came was Prime Minister Sima Kui,

"It's better not to talk about that!"

"It's the old man who is confused, and he shouldn't talk about it," Yi Bojian said.

"Seven more! It's getting more and more presumptuous. A hint of coldness flashed in Sima Kui's eyes, and then he issued a series of orders. There was an undercurrent around the study.

Winter passes, and the snow melts. The early morning air inhaled deep into the lungs and with an amazing chill, as usual every day, wake up in the dark and damp basement every day, start a day of training, the so-called training is to complete the goal in exchange for food, the rules of survival here are very simple and complicated, life for them is to be born and live, there is no joy and sorrow, only hunger and fullness, life and death. Although most of them are no more than ten years old, but each of them does not have the same brilliance as other normal children, only gray and dead air, one of the children is named Tianyi, their names are arranged from the order they entered, Tiandi Xuanhuang, Tianyi said that he came in the first batch.

Although Tianyi's body is cowardly, but there is no fear in his childish face, his body is thin, although his face is stained with some ashes, he can't hide his handsome facial features, he is seven years old this year, and the oldest one who came in with him will not be more than ten years old, and in six years, he has been grabbing food with other children since he can remember, grabbing a place to sleep, and he has to guard against assassination from other children when he sleeps every day. The children thus raised are no longer just called people, but a pack of wild animals. Killing weapons, a total of thirty-six people came in with Tianyi, and now there are only seven people left in Tianzi. The other six are still coveting his 'one' ranking every day, because the higher they are, the richer the resources they enjoy.

It's a big yard, and when you walk out of the house in the morning, you can see a devastated yard with no trees or grass. There were no flowers, the high walls were above the gray sky, it was not that no one wanted to escape from this cage, but several partners who had escaped, and the next day the corpses would hang on the withered crooked neck tree in the courtyard.

Tianyi didn't think about escaping, but when he saw the subjective palm smash a stone three meters away, he broke this thought, he wanted to survive. Although he didn't know why he was alive, it was a bit too cruel for this seven-year-old boy. Standing in a corner of the courtyard, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find a red plum sticking out of the wall, and the petals were scattered when the breeze blew, and a touch of rouge red floated in Tianyi's hand, sniffing it gently. This flower has such a faint fragrance, and then carefully placed it in the sleeve.

"Tianyi, it's time to start training!" an old man shouted in the distance. The previous joy in Tianyi's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were covered with a layer of black mist.

Back to the dark and damp underground, he knew that this was just a stronghold, and he knew that there were many such places in his usual chats with the old man, and there were still twenty-eight children left here, seven each of the heavens and the earth. And Tianyi is the strongest one in it, so many people will start practicing a weapon at the age of three, and it can't be changed after choosing, Tianyi chooses a sword, and the general sword is three feet, the so-called 'wind and dust three-foot sword, Sheji Yiyi. But the sword he chose was only one and a half feet, and the children here were carefully selected people, who began to use special herbs during the lactation period, so that they were agile and powerful from an early age. Not to mention the three-foot sword, even a twenty-pound hammer can make the tiger mighty, but Tianyi chose a one-and-a-half-foot sword. One inch long and one inch strong, one inch short and one inch dangerous, the butler will not interfere with others to make any choices, because in his opinion, everyone's choice is the person's character, and it will be available in the future. Among the remaining twenty-eight people, he was optimistic about only three people, except for Tianyi's one and a half feet, Tianer's dagger and Tianwu's silver needle. What they do in this line of work is the act of killing, and being able to kill people in the invisible is the highest realm, and he is quite speechless for those who hold a double-plate axe and a sky-shaking hammer.

Everyone's weapons will have a corresponding person to teach, Tianyi one and a half feet there is a man in black to teach, every day he will appear on the edge of the rockery in the backyard, without saying a word, the sword wind is fierce, the trick is critical, the sword rises in the wind, and the wind dissipates. A set of swordsmanship is extremely smooth, and then he sits on the rockery and drinks to the moon. Tianyi also learned the same way at the beginning, a sword and a sword, a board and a glance, but he always didn't know the essentials, but as long as he made a mistake, a peanut flew over and hit his body, and over time he always had to dodge peanuts while practicing the sword. Later, in such a trajectory, he realized the intention of the man in black, and in just over a year, his swordsmanship had begun to take shape. Now in his third year of sword practice, there is no opponent for him among all the children, and he eats and sleeps every day with the sword, and at the beginning of this year he began to feel that he and the sword already have an inexplicable connection, just like his own hands and feet. When the man in black who taught him saw it, he exclaimed, "Talented, he has reached the realm of the unity of swordsmen in three years.....! Hey, it would be nice if only it were my apprentice!" Tianyi heard the man in black speak for the first time, and he was a little old, although he grew up in this place and was ignorant of the world, but at this time he still knelt down to the old man, "The master is bowed to the apprentice!" Before he finished speaking, the man in black flashed to the side and did not accept this salute.

"The old man doesn't want to accept you, but there is a hardship, you and I have no name of master and apprentice, but there is the reality of master and apprentice, here is a book of swordsmanship "Zhuxin Sword" I got by chance, not my own swordsmanship but its subtlety, it is really rare in the world. Murder and heart, what could be more ruthless than this. I won't teach you from now on, so you can do it yourself!" and then one man and one sword disappeared into the night.

Holding the "Sword of the Heart", I felt a little lost, shook my head and laughed at myself, "It's good to be alone!" Turning the first page, "The righteousness of "Spring and Autumn" has been determined, and the forgiveness is punished, so although Xu Zhi is not guilty of killing the king, Zhao Dun sees the book as a thief" Here tells a story in "Spring and Autumn" Xu Zhi was not convicted of killing the king, but Zhao Dun did not kill anyone, but he was the head of the thief, killing people invisibly, and it was not the sword that really killed people but the hearts of the people. "A good murder heart", and then recorded a lot of sword moves and some Jianghu essays, compared to those boring swordsmanship, this sword book is obviously much more interesting, the sky is like a treasure, every day in the palm of the hand. But what makes Tianyi sad is that the real man in black hasn't been here since that day. And he still repeats his previous life day after day, the only difference is that with the deepening of the study of "Sword of the Heart", there are more things in his eyes, which are not noticed, that is, he himself is not noticed.
