People go, the corridor is empty.

Originally, this was supposed to be the time for night talk in the corridor, but due to Tian Li's injury, everyone moved this time to visit him, but because the injury was still very serious, everyone was afraid of disturbing his rest, so they ended early and went back to their rooms to rest.

Tianshu returned to the room and found that Tian Tian didn't know when he had been lying in bed and falling asleep.

Tian Tian originally liked to sleep on the ground, because the ground was big, it could turn over as much as it wanted, and this kind of thing happened to it more than once or twice when it fell from bed. I don't know how it changed sex today.

Tianshu has been with it since he was a child, so he naturally won't mind, although he squeezed it a little, but this lump of meat is soft and warm, and it is so comfortable to sleep in his arms, and even the quilt is saved.

Closed the door and walked over. Unexpectedly, as soon as his body touched the edge of the bed, he bounced up every day. Seeing its frightened eyes, Tianshu smiled and thought that it was probably too frightened during the day.

"Alas. Tianshu sighed lightly and reached out to touch Tiantian's head to soothe its wounded heart.

In fact, just seeing the horror in Tiantian's eyes, he also felt a heartache. Although Tianshu is strict with it and forces it to lose weight, this is for the sake of its health. Unexpectedly, on the first day of losing weight, Tiantian's fragile little heart was so seriously damaged.

"How can there be such a monk in this world?" Tianshu has read a lot of books since he was a child, and the description of the monk in the book is calm and steady, and he looks like he is full of wisdom when he sees through the red dust, but this relief does not conform at all, and when it comes to his state of mind, he can say without hesitation that he is much more refined than him.

Under Tianshu's comfort, Tiantian gradually calmed down and soon fell asleep again.

At this time, Tianshu felt that something in the Qiankun bag was shaking. He used his divine sense to check it a little, and found that it was the communication scroll he took from Cheng Bo and reacted. As soon as his divine consciousness moved, the scroll automatically flew out of the brocade bag and landed in the palm of Tianshu's palm.

"Did something happen to Peach Blossom Valley?"

Tianshu opened the scroll in his hand. Since coming out of Peach Blossom Valley, because he has been thinking about the affairs of this world, he has forgotten these gadgets, so this is the first time that Tianshu has opened it.

The reels are divided into left and right halves, separated by a straight solid line in the middle. To Tianshu's surprise, the left half of the scroll was densely covered with all kinds of black lines, and there were text markings in some places. After carefully looking from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top, I found that this was all the route maps of the Nine Heavens Mountain, and even included the routes in the cave. However, among the countless black lines, the most conspicuous is a small red dot swimming in the black line. Yes, although it moved very slightly, he was very sure that the little red dot would move.

"This should represent Peach Blossom Valley. He held out a finger and pressed it lightly on the little red dot. Suddenly, a clear line appeared in his mind, and the starting point was where he was now.

Tianshu smiled slightly, that beautiful pink color felt unreal when I think about it now.

Folded his fingers and moved his gaze to the right.

There was a large blank space, but there was a yellow light flickering on it.

"This should be it. Tianshu used his divine sense to connect with this yellow light, and lines of information immediately appeared in his mind.

"It turns out that the Susu Trial has been completed...... Tianshu muttered.

In the silence of the night, he suddenly found himself in a knot in his heart.

Regarding Su Su, this cute girl with a crescent moon on her face, his original plan was to ask Qin Guang to go down the mountain to experience this time, and then take Su Su and travel the world together.

But I didn't expect to meet the competition between Xiaozhuyuan and Dazhuyuan as soon as I came, and the big competition of the whole faction was about to start. He really didn't want to miss it. Because in this competition, there are people he wants to meet.

There is an instinctive drive to separate Su Su from himself at this time, of course, only temporarily, as if the passage of hell will appear at the intersection of the two.

Tianshu turned his gaze to the night sky outside the window, the moon tonight was very large and beautiful, and it seemed to be the one he had seen in Peach Blossom Valley at that time.

A trace of coolness spilled in with the moonlight, making the troubles in his heart a little less.

He realizes that this is very unfair to Su Su.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of the scene he saw during the day, her just faint smile, it was already radiant, as if the flowers of the world were blooming in front of him in an instant. It's just that this smile is not for him.

Tianshu sighed lightly and took out two leaves from the Qiankun bag, one was emerald green, which was given to him by Ye Yanran, and the other was pink, which Tianshu brought out from Peach Blossom Valley to give to Ye Yanran.

He had imagined countless times what he would look like when he gave her the leaves, and even what kind of situation he should say in his mind. It's just that I don't know if there is still this opportunity.

Thinking about it, my chest throbbed inexplicably. Tianshu clutched his chest tightly with one hand and took deep breaths, trying to calm his mind.

But it was in vain, and the cramping of his heart had made him sweat profusely.

At this time, a pamphlet fell out of Tianshu's arms. looked at it, and then remembered that this was the "Pure Heart Mantra" given to him by Shi Ran.

It's a lifesaver.

Tenshu immediately opened the booklet and began to recite the scriptures in it one by one. For a first-time reader of the scriptures, these awkward words not only did not make his heart ache, but they also increased the pain in his tongue.

After tying the knot I don't know how many times, the tongue finally slowly smoothed out.

It was recited over and over again. Gradually, Tianshu began to forget time, self, and of course, pain. He didn't know when he closed his eyes, but he quietly felt that the world was ethereal.

By the time Tenju's consciousness regained consciousness, the night was already deep. Slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath of turbidity.

"It's still this calm and waveless state of mind. Tianshu smiled.

He picked up the leaves and the booklet, looked at the communication scroll, thought for a moment, stretched out a finger, carried the true qi to his fingertips, and then began to write on the scroll.

The general meaning of the writing is that he still has things to deal with here, so let Su Su stay in Peach Blossom Valley first, and then pick her up when he is done.

After writing, his consciousness moved, and the yellow light flashed again.

Closing the scroll, he sighed silently.

To be honest, in fact, Tianshu himself can't be sure what kind of feelings he has for Susu. Although he knew that Su Su treated himself as he did to Ye Yanran. However, it is precisely because of this that the knot in his heart is difficult to untie.

"Alas, forget it, I don't want to think about it, my head is knotted. ”

Feelings, whether you have seen or heard it a thousand times, as long as you have not experienced it yourself, when it really comes, you are still just a helpless child.

Tianshu also took the scroll back into the Qiankun bag, stretched his waist, looked back at Tiantian, who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but be a little envious of it.

He shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, climbed into bed, habitually hugged Tiantian, and fell asleep peacefully in a few moments.

I don't know why, but sleeping every day is very reassuring.

The days that followed were as calm as ever.

Tianshu is still more than a month ago for everyone, so he still does the work of getting up early to sweep the streets.

In addition to practicing by himself, Hou Xin's main thing now is to take care of Tian Li.

And the most important thing for Tian Li is to be taken care of. This time it was really painful, and the recovery was very slow, and seeing that the big game was approaching, his body was less than fifty percent better.

Zhu Huan's love for the kitchen will not diminish in the slightest because something is going to happen. He is accompanied by fire all day long, doing what he loves the most, and getting a reward that can be recognized by the outside world, which should be regarded as a kind of man's happiness.

Qing'er still goes to the bamboo forest every day to practice swords, but it is slightly different from before that she now prefers to pull the heavenly shu.

Tianshu had nothing to do, so he took out the swordsmanship given by Qin Guang and demonstrated the above moves in his mind from beginning to end. This set of swordsmanship is really not a profound martial art, and after going through it like this, he can say with certainty that he has mastered seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

The days in the small bamboo garden have always been calm and repetitive, so time always passes without feeling. Although the world outside Xiaozhuyuan is very lively, and there are always rings in each courtyard to watch, Tianshu has never gone out since that day, and there will always be an inexplicable fear in his heart that will affect his footsteps intentionally or unintentionally.

The ring doesn't stop until fifteen days before the tournament starts, because there is always time for those fighters to rest and adjust.

On this day, the sun had just lifted the quilt, revealing a hazy redness, and the huge bell had already spread throughout the entire Nine Heavens Sword Sect.

The bell weighs four or five thousand pounds, and is located on a lonely stone peak at the rear of the sect - Lone Bird Peak.

This bell has not been rung for a long time, because each time it symbolizes the most serious calling of the sect, and all personnel must be present. The last time it sounded was the one when the Demon Dao invaded, and it had been more than a hundred years.

But this time is completely different from the last time, and everyone knows what this time is for.

The first Eight Houses competition is about to begin!

All the disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect had already arrived in the square, and there were more than three thousand of them. Fortunately, the square was large enough that there were no stampedes.

In front of the boulder sword, a high platform has already been prepared, and on the platform stand the heads of the major courtyards and the head of Qingyu. Next to them, there is a huge stone plaque engraved with the promotion route map of the match, that is, there are thirty-two people at the bottom, sixteen people on the upper floor, eight people on the upper layer, and so on, the person at the top is the winner of this time.

Qingyu took two steps forward, came to the front of the stage, slightly lucky, coughed, the voice didn't sound like any force, but everyone present could hear it very clearly. Then, he reached out and pressed down, and the people below quickly fell silent.

Qingyu continued to perform his exercises and said, "Everyone, today is the first all-faction martial arts competition held by our Nine Heavens Sword Sect. Everyone should have heard that the top four in this competition will represent our sword faction in the World Martial Arts Conference in ten years, so I hope that all the participants can play their true level and not have reservations because they are fellow disciples. Of course, it won't let everyone's hard work be in vain, and the winner can get it!" Qingyu spread his palm, and a blue light appeared out of thin air. His hand shook it, and the blue light dissipated, revealing its true face of Lushan - the quaint rosewood scabbard, except for a few points on the scabbard, there were no extra patterns on the scabbard, and the blue-brown sword spike was slightly old.

But this doesn't mean that this sword is broken copper and iron! The audience has already begun to stir, and some people can't help but shout: "Seven Star Sword!"

The seven-star sword, ranked tenth in the "Tianxia Lu Weapon Spectrum", the annotation given in the book is that the famous sword in ancient times, according to legend, was originally the sword of Taishang Laojun, which was accidentally lost in the war of gods and demons, and was later obtained by the Nine Heavens Sword Sect.

The status of the Seven-Star Sword in the Sword Sect is second only to the Heavenly Sword, and it is the portable sword of the heads of the past dynasties, which can be said to be another symbol of the identity of the head, so the future of the person who gets the Seven-Star Sword will be self-evident!

"It seems that the head of the house has made a heavy decision this time!" several court leaders couldn't help but whisper in the back.

Qingyu smiled indifferently, raised her voice a little, and said, "That's right, the prize of this competition is this seven-star sword! ”

The audience suddenly erupted into a burst of noise, some cheering, but more of them sighed, because there were only 32 people who had the opportunity to compete, and more could only be the audience.

Qingyu retreated, and Qingye walked out, signaling the audience to be quiet. Qing Ye's position in the Sword Sect was a precept elder, and his majesty among the disciples could be imagined, so the audience quickly became quiet again.

Qing Ye said loudly: "Let me explain the rules of the competition first...... "The rules are exactly the same as what the referee elder said during the Tianqian Academy selection competition.

"I'm going to talk about the matchup. With a flick of his left hand, two boxes flew out from behind the stone plaque and landed at his feet. With another wave of his left hand, many stone cakes flew out of a box, and the stone cakes fell on the thirty-two positions at the bottom of the stone plaque. The people in the audience stared at it and found that the stone cakes were originally written with numbers, and they had been arranged in order from one to thirty-two. That is, it is number one against two, number three against number four, and so on, thirty-one against number thirty-two.

Qing Ye picked up another box and said: "Everyone has also seen the numbers on the stone plaque, there are also corresponding thirty-two numbers in this box, the players in the audience come up and draw lots, and the numbers drawn will be matched according to the above arrangement." ”
