The moonlight slowly hid into the western mountain, and the boy by the waterhole waved his wooden stick as usual.

His sword was slow, but the path was clear, like flowing water in the air, and his movements were flowing from the dust, without dragging the mud and water, like a dancer who had poured out the world, dancing a peerless dance music.

When the moonlight finally left the world without any nostalgia, the dancer finally stopped his dance steps, and the applause of the only audience member who was lucky enough to see the dance rang out.

"It's so pretty, much better than my old maids. ”

Chu Xiaowen glanced at her, put down the wooden stick that had been frosted very smooth, and saluted the wooden stick very formally.

"I've worked hard for you in the past nine years. ”

This wooden stick has accompanied Chu Xiaowen for nine years, and has also witnessed the growth of his cultivation and swordsmanship, but in two days, he will get his own sword, in order to prepare, he will not come to the waterhole tomorrow, and today is also the last time he will dance the sword with a wooden stick.

After Chu Xiaowen finished speaking, he straightened his clothes and walked down the mountain.

Zun Wuyi, who had been prepared for a long time, had already put on his shoes, so that he would not be left behind like he had been two years ago.

Zun Wuyi happily jumped among the rocks, flowers and grasses, and smiled at Chu Xiaowen: "You are now fourteen years old, and it is time to start a family, when will you marry me." ”

Chu Xiaowen glanced at her angrily and said, "Think beautifully." ”

Zun Wuyi laughed coquettishly, and was about to say something, when a voice that she hated very much sounded first.

"Who are you talking to?"

A young girl walked out of the grass on the side with a bamboo basket and was looking at Chu Xiaowen strangely.

The girl's body grows faster than that of a man, slim and elegant, snow skin and cream, temperament like an orchid like a chrysanthemum, although she is still young, but she has a posture of captivating the country and the city.

"It's nothing, just talking to myself, come, I'll help you carry something. Chu Xiaowen quietly glanced at Zun Wuyi, and took over Liu Meixue's bamboo basket.

Liu Meixue was not polite, the two had already passed the stage of being polite to each other.

However, after Zun Wuyi saw Liu Meixue, she looked like an angry little daughter-in-law, and kept turning around Chu Xiaowen with strange and resentful eyes.

"It's really greedy for the new and forgetful of the old. ”

Chu Xiaowen naturally ignored this resentful woman, and walked in the forest with Liu Meixue with a bamboo basket, and slowly walked in the direction of the villa.

Neither of them is a person of many words, in fact, the two are very quiet a lot of times together, but in this quiet, there is a warmth that only belongs to the two of them.

Of course, Chu Xiaowen will have more troubles than Liu Meixue, that is, when the two get along quietly, there will always be a resentful woman next to her who launches continuous resentment attacks, but with Liu Meixue by her side, Chu Xiaowen can't stop her from being so verbose.

Back in the small courtyard where Chu Xiaowen and his mother lived, Chu Xiaowen washed his face and changed a set of clothes, Lin Ke had already woken up, and her voice sounded in the kitchen.

"Xiaoxue is still so early, come here, I've said that you don't have to do these jobs, just let Auntie come... Alas, I really can't help you. ”

"Anti-customer-oriented. Zun Wuyi, who had just seen Chu Xiaowen change his clothes and feast his eyes, immediately snorted, leaned on Chu Xiaowen's back, and blew a breath of heating in his ear: "I can't let her take the lead, shouldn't I cook your raw rice first." ”

Fourteen-year-old Chu Xiaowen has a long figure, which is already about the same height as the tall Zun Wuyi, and he is not as ignorant as before, but after so many years of getting along, even if Zun Wuyi came over and felt that body that was softer than anything in the world, Chu Xiaowen only frowned, and shook his shoulders lightly and broke away from the other party.

"Alas, I thought you would be enlightened when you grew up, but who knew that you were still so puzzled. Zun Wuyi let out a resentful sigh again.

Breakfast was made quickly, and Liu Meixue served Lin Ke a bowl of somen noodles very obediently, but ignored Chu Xiaowen.

After Chu Xiaowen touched his nose, he could only go into the kitchen to get his share.

When he sat down, Lin Ke looked at Liu Meixue and then at Chu Xiaowen, and somehow began to laugh.

Chu Xiaowen was uncomfortable by her laughter, and said with some worry: "Auntie, what's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable?"

Liu Meixue also grabbed one of Lin Ke's hands worriedly and said, "I see that my aunt has a little cough these days, why don't I wait and I go to the doctor with you to take a look." ”

Lin Ke waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I'm looking at you, you're not young, the second sister-in-law Liu mentioned it to me a few days ago, and asked when my kid would go to their house to propose." ”

Chu Xiaowen and Liu Meixue couldn't help but blush when they heard this, and Liu Meixue said angrily: "What is my mother talking nonsense, Auntie, you don't pay attention to her." ”

Lin Ke pulled the fine hair around Liu Meixue's ear, and said slowly: "I married Xiaowen and his father when I was as old as you, but Chujiazhuang is different from our small place, so I told her, and you have to talk about this matter when you return from your travels." ”

Liu Meixue lowered her head in shame and secretly looked at Chu Xiaowen with her eyes.

Chu Xiaowen was not as thin-skinned as a girl, so he quickly became calm and composed, and said seriously: "After leaving the school, I will come to the door to propose marriage, and the marriage will be done after returning from travel." ”

Liu Meixue even turned red when she heard this, and she didn't dare to raise her head.

"Okay, but you have to hurry, I can't wait. Lin Ke touched Liu Meixue's head, and his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.

But Zun Wuyi immediately jumped up and objected: "It's not good, it's not good, do you want to drive me out?"

But this opponent will naturally not be heeded.

Before the morning light rose, the corridor of the Chu family was even deeper, but some early servants still appeared sparsely, and they all saluted respectfully when they saw Chu Xiaowen, because Chu Xiaowen was the most promising son of the Chu family in these generations.

Remembering that when he didn't show his talent before, these family members had never treated him seriously, and his current attitude was very different from before, which made Chu Xiaowen sometimes have to sigh.

Liu Meixue returned the salute to these people one by one, and everyone in the Chu family knew that the two were a couple, so they were also very respectful to Liu Meixue, who was already very talented.

"Don't you think there are a lot of people today?" Chu Xiaowen couldn't help but say strangely as he watched another group of people walk by.

Liu Meixue smiled: "Don't you know that there are very important people coming today?"

Chu Xiaowen thought for a while, and said with a sigh: "The sword void is open, and the children of several other sword families will naturally come over to choose the sword." They'll be there today?"

Seeing that Chu Xiaowen realized these things, Liu Meixue couldn't help wrinkling her nose and said, "You really don't care about anything." The sword void will be opened tomorrow, and the other few have given many benefits to get the opportunity to choose the sword, so they naturally have to arrive today. ”

As he said this, a steward led three strangers from the other side.

The old, middle and young three, the oldest has white hair, very fairy-like appearance, the youngest is only in his early twenties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and it can be seen from his posture that he is very respectful to the middle-aged and the elderly. And the three of them were all wearing yellow robes, all holding a cane, the crutches were full of bottles and pouches, and they were all carrying many bulging bags, and they smelled a burst of medicinal fragrance coming from the three of them from a distance.

Chu Xiaowen stood aside and saluted the steward, and the steward saw Chu Xiaowen and the two smiling and bowing their heads, but did not stop, but walked towards the deep courtyard with the distinguished guests.

Chu Xiaowen looked at the four people who walked away and said, "As soon as I say it, it's just that who are these three people, aren't they all young people who come to choose swords?"

"It's like the three ancestors and grandchildren, the yellow robe, the crutches, the smell of medicine..."Liu Meixue thought for a while, and immediately remembered the three characters that the teachers had mentioned to them before, and immediately exclaimed: "It's Taolin Dao." ”

"Taolin Dao?" Chu Xiaowen thought for a while, feeling that this name was a little familiar, but he still didn't think of where he had heard of it.

"Tao Lin Dao, is it a chef, can you make bird's nest cakes?" Zun Wuyi said with sparkling eyes at this time, making Chu Xiaowen speechless for a while, how did she connect people with chefs.

Liu Meixue stretched out her fingers and flicked Chu Xiaowen's forehead, and said with some annoyance: "Why are you becoming more and more obsessed with memorization, don't think that I will help you write down everything." ”

Chu Xiaowen shrugged his shoulders, Liu Meixue was very careful, he noticed everything, and before he knew it, Chu Xiaowen stopped caring about things other than cultivation, he was used to Liu Meixue telling him those things that originally needed him to remember.

Liu Meixue couldn't help but feel a little itchy when she looked at him, but she still said helplessly: "The teachers have said many times, Taolin Dao is the most common pharmacological sect in the world, and half of the pills in the world can only be refined by them, and it is said to be a sect, but there is only one descendant in each generation, so there are only three people in their faction, the old, the middle and the young, just like the three grandchildren, the old man just now is the current sect master of Taolin Dao, Jigu Dao, I heard that he is already four hundred years old, and he is the oldest person in the world." Don't look at the three of them as mediocre in cultivation, but they are respected everywhere they go, and even the royal family is respectful when they see them. ”

Chu Xiaowen nodded when he heard this, there are half of the pills in the world that only they can refine, that is to say, half of the pills that can improve cultivation can only be refined by these three people, of course, even the royal family has to be respectful to them, although the Chu family does not support the use of pills to improve cultivation on the way to martial artists, but everyone also knows that from the Taixuan Realm to the Shangshan Realm, they must rely on the help of Taolin Dan, just like opening the Heavenly Vein to become a martial artist must need to open the Enlightenment Pill.

And these two elixirs in the world are only refined by people from Taolin Dao, so all people who practice martial arts are full of respect for Taolin Dao, after all, they can become martial artists because they use other people's pills, and if they want to go further, they also need the support of the other party's pills, and this kind of support is not exempt from even the royal family.

Of course, there are also some money fans who want to pay attention to Taolin Road, but the final result is that they are all killed.

As the pinnacle of the pill medicine and medical path, Taolin Dao naturally saves countless people, and no matter where you go, there are several masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm who are secretly protected by the Taolin Dao and sworn to follow. Moreover, every time they go to a large sphere of influence, they will be escorted by the masters of the Heavenly and Human Realms of that force, and it can be said that it is more difficult to beat the attention of these three people than to assassinate the crown prince of the current dynasty.

Chu Xiaowen finally remembered the matter about this Taolin Dao, when the sword void was opened, it was also the time when the Taolin Dao came to the Chu family, and at that time, he would give every child of the appropriate age to choose a sword a Taolin Dan, and those who took the Taolin Dan would have the opportunity to break through to the Shangshan Realm in the future.

However, Chu Xiaowen also heard that some geniuses can break through on the day they take the pill, and this kind of legend has only appeared once in these hundreds of years, that is, more than forty years ago.

That day was the day when Chu Long chose his sword.
