The summer sunset is always amorous, it is beautiful and warm.

In Hunting Mountain Village at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain in Chu State, an inconspicuous thatched house is set up on the periphery of the village, and with the glow of the sun, the thatched house is instantly dyed golden, as if wearing a beautiful feather coat, magnificent, and shining.

"Brother Su Zhi's swordsmanship is really powerful. ”

In front of the thatched hut, a girl of about fifteen years old clapped her hands, and from time to time her mouth let out a laugh like a silver bell, and her big jewel-like eyes looked hard at the figure ahead, as if she were looking at the stars twinkling in the night sky.

Following the girl's gaze, there was a young man who was about a year older than the girl in the clearing not far away.

The young man is thin and has good facial features, although he is not handsome, but he is not delicate.

He wore a gray coarse cloth coat and black trousers, the hem of which was slightly white in some places, but it was very clean and tidy.

"The body should be straight, the step should be steady, and when the sword is out, the arms and wrists should do their best. The power extends from the arm to the blade of the sword, reaching the tip of the sword. ”

The young man named Su Zhi said with his mouth, but there was no stagnation in his hands. He held the sword with five fingers, his arm in a straight line with the sword, and his wrist was moving, constantly drawing and retracting the sword towards the stake in front of him, and the cycle repeatedly.

After more than a dozen breaths, Su Zhi finally completed the three hundred straight stabs a day, and stood with his sword in his hand, his body as straight as a pine.

With a long sigh of relief, he walked to the half-broken clay pot with his sword, scooped a sip of water with a wooden scoop, and drank it before saying, "Girl, I just practiced simple swordsmanship, and it can't be called swordsmanship." While responding to the girl, Su Zhi had already come to the girl's side, raising his hand and caressing the girl's head.

The girl not only did not dodge, but showed shallow dimples, as if Su's hand was a kind of reliance for him, making her feel very safe and warm.

"Okay, I know......" The girl replied crisply, and at the same time took Su Zhi's arm.

"You. Seeing the girl's casual look, Su Zhi knew that he said nonsense again. "Forget it, don't talk about that. I'll cook for you, it's not too early. ”

"Well, we're all in this together. After speaking, he added in a low voice, "I believe that Brother Su Zhi will definitely be able to become a great swordsman in the future!"

Su Zhi smiled silently

After emitting the last rays of light and heat, the sunset finally slowly sank into the earth.

Night.

Su Zhi lay on the roof of the thatched house, leaning his hands behind his head, biting a dogtail grass in his mouth, looking at the stars in the sky, the thoughts in his mind extended infinitely

He has lived in Kayama Village since he was a child, and he doesn't know who his parents are, and since he can remember, he has followed an old woman, and the two depend on each other.

It was about when he was ten years old, on a rainy night, the old woman brought a little girl, the girl's face was dirty, her eyes were blank, as if she had lost her soul, and it was the current girl, Su Qingxue.

Since then, one old and one young in the thatched house has become one old and two young.

And one night two years ago, the old woman fell asleep and never woke up.

The old woman died suddenly, Su Zhi panicked, he didn't know what to do in the future. With the help of his neighbors, he and the girl buried the old woman in a place on the mountainside, and the monument was not erected.

In the past two years, he went up to the mountains to catch hares everywhere, and after catching them, he took them to the town to exchange for some rice oil, and the neighbors sent some daily necessities, and they were barely living, but this was not a long-term solution after all.

"I can't go on like this, the girl has reached the age of growing her body, and she has no nutrition at all just eating wild vegetables, and she doesn't even have a decent dress, so I'll go to the town early tomorrow morning to see if there's any work. Su Zhi clenched his fists tightly.

He liked swords since he was a child, and he had to practice for two hours almost every day, especially two years ago, he picked up a manual, which told the deeds of many chivalrous warriors to eliminate violence and peace, at that moment, he was like a treasure, and he wished that he was one of those chivalrous.

Singing wildly and lying on the horse, fighting the sword at the end of the world! What a chic way this is.

It's just that now in order to live, he has to make a choice.

Following.

"Brother, which mountain are we going to pick wild vegetables today?" The girl walked to the door in a daze, stretching her waist with sleepy eyes, lazy but beautiful.

Looking at the girl's cute appearance, Su Zhi smiled and said softly, "Get up, I won't go up the mountain today, I'm going to go to the town to see if there is any work to do, you wait for my good news at home." ”

"What, brother!" The girl was taken aback when she heard Su Zhi's words, and hurriedly ran towards him.

In the past few years, they have had a very hard time, Su Zhi gave her all the things that can supplement nutrition, and he ate some of the leftovers, which caused Su Zhi to be yellow and thin, not to mention his height, how can he do hard labor.

"Don't worry. Girl, I can, although I do get a little thinner, but in the past few years, I have been practicing swordsmanship, and my strength is much stronger than that of people of the same year. After speaking, Su Zhi also bent his hand and showed off his thin muscles. Of course, what he said was not a big deal, after years of sword practice, his strength was indeed much beyond ordinary people.

"But. The girl pulled Su Zhi's sleeve tightly, and wanted to say something.

"Girl, I promised you that I would definitely let you live a good life. Su Zhi squeezed out a smile at the girl and stared at her seriously, "And the 'white jade butterfly' you fancied last time I went to town, I will definitely buy it for you." ”

Last year, Su Zhi took Su Qingxue to the town once, and the girl liked it when she saw it, but Su Zhi didn't have enough money to buy it, although the girl said it didn't matter, but the loss in her eyes Su Zhi could see it clearly, and he told himself that he must buy this white jade butterfly

The world is in a hurry, and it is another summer in the blink of an eye.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this white jade butterfly. In a shop next to the street in Tai'an Town, a handsome young man wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.

"Young man, you really have a vision, the 'white jade butterfly' carved by the old man is the best in the town, only three copper plates, and you can choose at will. The white-bearded old man smiled and said politely.

The young man frowned, he was Su Zhi. He just received his salary today, but five copper plates is indeed too high for his consumption, and his consumption is only five or six copper plates a month on weekdays.

"Can the boss be cheaper?" asked Su Zhi.

"Young man, are you a sweetheart? You see that these butterflies are actually in pairs, have you heard the story of Liang Zhu, this is what they carved according to the butterflies they turned into after they died. If you buy it sincerely, the old man will be the next best person, and you will take it away if you want two copper plates. The old man's mouth was full of boasting.

The story of Liang Zhu Su Zhi heard the old man in the village say that it was a love story that lasted until death, but whether this butterfly was carved according to the butterfly that Liang Zhu turned into, I am afraid that only the old man himself knows.

Although he knew that the old man was exaggerating, Su Zhi gritted his teeth, took out five copper plates, handed them over, and said, "Okay, I'll buy two, you can take the money." ”

"Well, the young man sees that you are a good person, and you will surely marry that girl in the future. The old man took the money and sent his blessings without hesitation, and at the same time took two white jade butterflies to Su Zhi with his hands and feet.

Su Zhi thanked him, very happy, looking at the butterfly carved from the white jade in his hand, he seemed to see the sweet smile of the girl.

"As long as you like!" he muttered.

Holding the white jade butterfly in his hand, Su Zhi's footsteps back to the village were much faster, two hours later, he finally came to the entrance of Hunting Mountain Village, and glanced at the sunset that was about to fall, he ran into the village angrily, but the moment he just entered the village, he suddenly froze.

"What's going on?"

At this moment, in Kayama Village, there were corpses lying on the ground everywhere, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang. Su Zhi ran to an old man and screamed a few times in a row, but the other party was no longer breathing.

"Grandma Li. ”

"Chubby. ”

I turned over a few figures who fell to the ground, but without exception, they were all dead.

"Oops, girl, girl is still at home. As soon as he thought of this, Su Zhi was anxious and quickly ran home.

In the panic, he seemed to have tripped over something and almost threw himself on the ground. Looking back, Su Zhi couldn't help but shout, "Ding Bo!"

Su Zhi hurriedly ran over and helped the big man, Su Zhi recognized that this was the most powerful hunter in the village, but now that he was dying, it was he who tripped Su Zhi just now. "What the hell is going on, how did Kayama Village become like this?"

"Are you a small deacon?" the big man opened his mouth with difficulty.

"The bandits are coming, and if they see someone, they will kill them, you, you, go quickly. After Dahan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped breathing.

"Ding Bo!" Su Zhi let out a sad sigh, then raised his head and looked at the village full of corpses, gritted his teeth, and ran towards the village with all his might.

"Girl, don't be fine. Su Zhi clenched the white jade butterfly in his hand. He and the girl can be described as two little guesses, if the girl really has any accidents, he dare not imagine.

After a few breaths, Su Zhi finally came to the door of his house,

"Girl, girl. He screamed and slammed the door open.

At this moment, in the thatched house, a bald man was holding a girl in white under his arm, followed by two followers. It seems to be coming out.

Seeing this, Su Zhi's eyes turned red, and he squatted down and grabbed the rusty sword he usually practiced, pointing directly at the bald man.

"Let go of her. Su Zhi shouted, his confidence was slightly insufficient, the first time he faced the fierce bandit, his hand holding the sword trembled slightly, after all, he was only a teenager, unworldly teenager.

Su Zhi broke into the door, which surprised the three of them, but after seeing Su Zhi's face clearly, they didn't care. The bald man at the head ignored Su Zhi, and then turned his head to the back and gave a simple order, "Old Seven!"

As soon as the bald man's words fell, the man known as Lao Qi would immediately take a step forward. He has miscellaneous hair, the corners of his mouth are thorny, he is holding a mountain-opening axe, and his muscles bulge when he walks, making him look very violent.

"Boy, if you don't run away if you don't die, you dare to come back! Uncle admires your courage very much, but this courage requires you to pay the price of your life. Although the axe man said that he admired it, he was more disdainful, in his opinion, Su Zhi's blinking behavior was simply stupid.

"Let her go!" Su Zhi didn't answer, his sword hand still pointing at the bald man repeating what he said last time.

"Huh, it's a stunned young man?" the axe man was slightly surprised, and then continued, "In that case, I'll let you go down with them!" Then he swung the axe in his right hand, and slashed towards Su Zhi in a mountain-splitting style.

In the face of the fierce and direct attack of the axe man, Su Zhi was slightly flustered. Although he has practiced swords for many years, he has never fought, not to mention facing a vicious bandit like the axe man, he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he had to use both hands, hold both ends of the rusty sword, and hold the sword horizontally in front of him.

"Click. ”

One photo intersected, and the rusty sword in Su's hand had already broken into two sections, and the huge impact on the axe made him spurt out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell backwards, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"What a. As soon as the trick worked, the axe man sneered, and slowly walked in front of Su Zhi, who raised the axe again, wanting to end Su Zhi's life.

"Alright. Seventh, it's okay to complete the task. Just as the axe man was about to make a move, the bald man known as Big Brother spoke up to stop him.

Seeing the boss speak, the axe man had no choice but to stop, "Count your kid lucky." After saying that, he spat at the ground.

I don't know how long it has been, but the sky has darkened, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the sun will completely sink into the earth.

At this time, Su Zhi finally woke up from his coma.

"Girl, girl. Su Zhi shouted, raised his eyes and looked around, but where was the figure of the girl, even the bandits had disappeared.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for my incompetence, the girl would never have been arrested, if I had been successful in swordsmanship, then today's incident would never have happened, and everything was my fault!" Su Zhi hung his head, and the tears in his eyes flowed out wantonly, mixed with the best bright red and fell to the ground.

He hated his incompetence for a moment, remorse filled his heart, and his fingers on the ground were red.

"No, I have to get the girl back. I can't let them take her, never. Su Zhi wiped away the tears and blood from his mouth, got up with difficulty, and then chased the footprints left on the road with bumpy steps.

He knew that he couldn't give up, no matter what.

After chasing for about a mile, Su Zhi found that the bandits were actually heading in the direction of Qingfeng Mountain. "Where are they going to take the girl?, actually going up the mountain?" Looking at the approaching night, Su Zhi hesitated slightly, he was the most powerful hunter in Huntshan Village on weekdays, and he didn't dare to enter the mountain at night. At night, Qingfeng Mountain has the most frequent activities of wild beasts and insects.

"I don't dare to go up a mountain, I can't talk about saving people, and it's not dark yet. After giving himself a boost, he strode after him

At the top of Qingfeng Mountain, a boulder rises. On the boulder, the two big characters of 'asking for love' are vivid, and the pen walks between the words, and the golden light shines under the reflection of the sunset.

At the edge of the love stone, the bald man and other bandits were resting.

"Big brother, you say, is that immortal still coming? It's already past the agreed time. A one-eyed man spoke, carrying a sword.

"Shut up, don't talk about the things of the immortals, just wait for it. The bald head snapped.

Although he reprimanded the one-eyed man, the bald man began to feel uneasy in his heart. Although they are bandits, they have never done such a slaughter of villages, but the temptation this time is too great, maybe to miss it once, it is to miss a lifetime. If the bet is right, then his life will be completely changed after that, and he will die forever if he loses.

Another restless wait, a full quarter of an hour later.

"Whew!"

A long rainbow came across the sky, leaving a gorgeous tail in the air, and if you look closely, there seems to be a vague figure in the long rainbow.

Changhong got closer and closer, and suddenly, Changhong fell directly towards Qingfeng Mountain.

"Meet the Immortals. Seeing Changhong coming, the bald man and the bandits behind him all knelt on the ground.

At this moment, in front of them, a man of about twenty appeared, the man was dressed in white, and as he landed, the dust on the mountain automatically avoided it, and it did not touch his body at all.

The man known as the Shangxian didn't pay attention to the bandits, but bowed his hand slightly to the front, "It's too late to speak, and I ask Miss Qingxue to forgive her sins." ”

As soon as the words of the man who claimed to be Yanchen fell, in the corner of the stone, the girl who was originally unconscious suddenly opened her eyes.

The girl is Su Qingxue, her eyes are icy at this moment, and she is like showing cuteness in front of Su Zhi. She slowly walked up to the man in white, and then slapped him directly.

Yanchen didn't dodge.

"Smack!"

The slap fell on the face of the man in white, crisp and loud.

"Why? You promised me not to hurt anyone, but now they're all dead. Su Qingxue's face was angry, her hands were clenched, and she looked directly at the man in white. She only fainted for a moment before she woke up, and she remembered what happened in Kayama Village vividly.

"Qingxue, this is the sect master's order, leaving that young man alive is already the biggest concession. Yan Chen did not avoid Su Qingxue's gaze. It's just a few mortals dead, what's the big deal.

"Smack. ”

Another slap fell, but Yan Chen still didn't dodge.

"I can ignore the others, but he dares to make a move on Brother Su Zhi and help me kill him. After Su Qingxue finished fighting, she suddenly turned around and pointed at the axe man kneeling on the ground.

"Shangxian?" Hearing the girl's words, the bald man opened his mouth to plead, he didn't expect that Su Qingxue would be angry with his subordinates.

"He's damned!" the girl began, her voice cold.

Shout!

Yan Chen ignored the bald man's plea, a white light flashed out in his hand, and before the axe man could react, the huge head fell in response, and blood splattered all over the ground.

"Since Qingxue thinks he deserves to die, then he deserves to die, what do you think?"

In the face of Yan Chen's question, the thieves lowered their heads and remained silent.

"What? isn't it?"

Seeing this, Yan Chen took a step forward, and a powerful coercion was released from his body, which was like an invisible mountain heading towards the bandits.

In an instant, all the thieves felt that Mount Tai was overpowered, the blood and qi in their bodies were surging, and their whole bodies could not move, as if if they moved, then they would definitely die of exhaustion.

"Yes, yes. The Immortal is right, he deserves to die. The bandits replied in a hurry.

"That's pretty much it. Yan Chen withdrew the coercion.

"Whew, whew!" After Yan Chen withdrew his coercion, all the bandits lay on the ground panting for breath, even the bald man. In just a moment, it made them feel as if they had experienced a life-and-death battle, and they had no strength. The power of the immortals is only a little breath exposed, and it is so terrifying.

"I'm not a man of my word, you're doing a decent job, and you deserve it. Yan Chen waved his hand, and a piece of jade Jane flew into the bald man's hand.

The bald man was overjoyed when he saw the jade slip in his hand, he knew that his immortal fate was coming, how many people were begging for a lifetime, and today he finally got it.

", if you dare to talk nonsense in the future, I will make you regret coming to this world. Yan Chen waved his sleeves and ordered directly.

The thieves did not dare to stay longer, and all ran down the mountain in a hurry.

"Qingxue, let's go, the sect master is still waiting for you. Yanchen whispered, but his voice was still gentle.

Su Qingxue ignored Yan Chen, she came to the side of the love stone, looked up at the word 'love' and was silent for a long time.

I don't know how long it has been, she sighed lightly, "I hope you can find someone who loves you and live a stable life, as for me, if there is an afterlife, life and death will follow!

Finally, she glanced at the direction of Hunting Mountain Village from a distance, Su Qingxue's eyes were full of complexity, reluctance, apology, and sadness, but in the end, all of them turned into firmness.

"Let's go, we can't keep Shizun waiting for a long time. The girl's voice was crisp and beautiful, but there was no emotion.

A long rainbow rose from the ground and disappeared in the blink of an eye!
