The Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition is a grand event held once every six years by the Qingyun Sect. Tongtian Peak will naturally become nervous if there are hundreds of people staying in the accommodation.
It would be delusional for everyone in the Dazhu Peak family to want to live the kind of carefree life of living alone in Dazhu Peak.
Except for Tian Linger, who lives with the girls in Xiaozhufeng, there are seven male disciples in Dazhufeng starting from Song Daren, all crowded into one room.
The Qingyun disciples of Tongtian Peak always live in a room with four people per room. Now, they have put three bunks in the room and they are able to squeeze it in. However, congestion is unavoidable.
At this moment, I could only hear someone complaining loudly: "I have been talking about how good Nagato is all day long, and now he wants seven of us to squeeze into one room. How stingy!"
"Sir, please stop complaining. It would be bad if Nagato's senior brothers hear you."
"Second Senior Brother, you are naturally very comfortable sleeping in the bed. Why don't you look at me lying on the cold ground, Junior Brother? Why don't we change beds!"
"Whirring whirring……"
"...No way! You fell asleep all of a sudden and snored?"
"Whirring whirring……"
"Humph! Fourth Senior Brother, you have always been handsome, charming, suave, talented, and talented..."
"Whirring whirring……"
"What are you doing! Is it popular to fall asleep instantly now? Hey, Senior Brother, you are always kind-hearted, why would you look at me, Junior Brother..."
"Whirring whirring……"
"You──ah! Third senior brother..."
"Ho ho ho ho..."
Everyone was shocked when the wall suddenly rang loudly. Someone next door shouted angrily: "Do you people in Dazhufeng always snore so loudly at night?"
The room suddenly fell silent for a long time. After a long time, someone didn't know who secretly laughed a few times. Later, the previous voice suddenly seemed to remember something: "Ah! Fifth Senior Brother, you..."
"You, you, you, you, you, you, I sleep next to you, do you want to change places on the ground? I don't care!"
"Ahem, it's okay. Alas! The floor is just cold, but it's too short to sleep comfortably. Speaking of which, my junior brother is in good shape and in good shape."
"Sixth Brother, why are you talking with your eyes closed? Didn't you see that there is a big dog and a monkey here trying to grab the quilt from me? This place is the most crowded, and you still think so?"
"...but I still..."
"Shut up, Sixth!" Several people in the room shouted at the same time.
After dark, many other young disciples of the Six Meridians who were visiting Tongtian Peak for the first time came out for a walk and were amazed and curious about the scenery of Tongtian Peak. However, as the night got darker, everyone returned to their rooms and fell asleep.
When darkness falls on this towering mountain peak, a cold moon in the sky casts its clear light onto the top of the mountain.
Zhang Xiaofan was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a few movements around him. He vaguely opened his sleepy eyes and saw that the monkeys Xiao Hui and Da Huang lying next to him were gone.
He propped himself up and looked around, only to see a large yellow figure flashing past the door. A shadow behind him looked like it was probably the monkey Xiao Hui.
Zhang Xiaofan was wondering where the monkey and the dog would go so late at night.
At that moment, he got up lightly, threw some clothes on his head and walked to the door. He saw Dahuang carrying Xiao Hui on his back and running towards the sea of clouds in the cold moonlight.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the direction they were running in and thought about it before remembering that it was the location of the Tongtian Peak kitchen that Song Daren had told him earlier.
At the moment, I was both angry and funny. This rhubarb had been raised by Tian Buyi for hundreds of years, and it was considered an old dog. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be so greedy.
He originally wanted to go back to sleep, but after thinking about it, if someone saw the yellow dogs and gray monkeys stealing food from Dazhu Peak, it would be too ugly, so he had to chase them back.
He decided in his mind to look up, only to see Dahuang carrying Xiaohui, who was now only a blurry figure, and hurriedly chased after him.
As he ran all the way, he was careful not to disturb his fellow students in other rooms. By the time he reached the square at the sea of clouds, the shadows of rhubarb and small gray could no longer be seen. All he could see was that under the cold moon, the clouds here were floating lightly, like yarn, like smoke, and it was so beautiful.
He looked at it twice more and then had no intention of reading any more. He turned around and looked around for a moment before heading towards the kitchen. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.
Deep in the sea of clouds, on the other side in the direction of the kitchen, there was a slender figure faintly walking forward in the misty clouds. It seemed that the person was walking in the direction of Hongqiao.
Zhang Xiaofan stared blankly at that figure. Even though they were far away, the figure seemed to be deeply engraved in his heart. He recognized it as senior sister Tian Linger at a glance.
The night is so deep!
Why did she go out alone and go somewhere alone?
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and felt at a loss as he felt hundreds of thoughts coming to his mind. His heart was in a state of confusion, as if he had vaguely guessed something, but he still refused to admit it.
He turned his head and stared at the direction of the kitchen where Dahuang and Xiaohui ran. He walked there with determination and said to himself: "Zhang Xiaofan, please mind your own business! Mind your own business!"
He walked like this for seven steps, and the moonlight shone like water on this young man, who was extremely lonely.
Then he stopped and looked up at the sky, only to see a cold moon hanging on the horizon.
His mouth seemed to move for a moment, then he quickly turned around and gritted his teeth and ran in the direction where the figure disappeared.
The moonlight illuminated his running figure with a sad tenderness.
After a while, Tian Linger's figure disappeared into the sea of clouds, but Zhang Xiaofan ran towards Hongqiao without looking anywhere else.
Soon he was shocked. The wind from the Hongqiao mountain blew up and the water on both sides of the Hongqiao rippled slightly, reflecting the cold and beautiful sky and the moon. But Zhang Xiaofan didn't care at all and just ran as hard as he could.
Run, run, run!
After running through Hongqiao, he still didn't see anyone's shadow. Until he reached the end of Hongqiao, he suddenly felt confused and felt a sense of loss. The cold moonlight illuminated the green water pool at the end of Hongqiao as bright as day. Only a beautiful figure stood by the pool. Staring at the sparkling water, he was lost in thought.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt scared, a fear that he could not express himself. He only knew that he could not let his senior sister find out.
In a blink of an eye, he looked around and saw a small forest on the right side of the pond near the Hongqiao. He quietly ran over and hid there, secretly watching Tian Linger from the shadow.
This look seems to last forever!
Under the moonlight, the young woman beside the clear water lowered her eyebrows with a bit of sadness and a bit of expectation, as if there was a faint light in her eyes, as if she was longing for something, and she looked so beautiful.
The mountain breeze blew across the water and brushed past her, silently blowing her clothes and gently blowing her hair against her snow-like skin.
An indescribable tenderness suddenly surged deep in Zhang Xiaofan's heart, as if that woman was the one he wanted to protect in his life. Even though he went through many twists and turns for her, he would never hesitate or regret it.
I hope this moment lasts forever!
"Junior sister Ling'er." Suddenly a call came from Hongqiao. Tian Ling'er turned around and his eyes were filled with joy for an instant, and a sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Senior Brother Qi, you are here!"
Zhang Xiaofan's heart seemed to be broken at that moment, but he couldn't feel any pain. His whole heart was empty and only echoed the words "Senior Brother Qi, Senior Brother Qi, Senior Brother Qi..."
He turned his head with difficulty and saw a man walking quickly from Hongqiao. He had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, was handsome, had an extraordinary demeanor, but if he wasn't Qi Hao, who could he be.
I saw Qi Hao walking quickly to Tian Linger's side and saying warmly: "I'm sorry, those young brothers of mine were so noisy that they didn't go to bed until late, so they came late and kept you waiting for a long time!"
Tian Linger was a little angry at first, but for some reason he disappeared without a trace as soon as he saw Qi Hao's figure. Then he shook his head and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I haven't been here long." After a pause, she glanced at the pool next to her. Said: "But why do you want to meet here! During the day, the spiritual master suddenly got angry and I am still a little scared!"
Qi Hao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I heard Master said that the Spirit Master is just joking with our young disciples as usual. And when it makes noise during the day and late at night, the place will be even cleaner, right?"
Tian Linger blushed and lowered her head and said, "Is it okay if we meet each other secretly like this?"
Qi Hao looked at her gentle and beautiful face and said softly: "Junior Sister Ling'er, ever since we first met at Dazhu Peak two years ago, I have been thinking about you so much that I can't sleep at night with your shadow in my mind!"
Tian Linger subconsciously bit her lips and her face turned red again, but she didn't seem angry at all. Instead, she felt a little sweet in her heart.
Qi Hao said again: "Junior Sister Ling'er, I..."
Tian Linger suddenly raised her head and said: "Senior Brother Qi, you can just call me Linger." At this point, she suddenly lowered her head and whispered: "Me, my father and my mother all call me that."
Qi Hao was overjoyed, as if he still didn't believe his ears and hesitated for a moment before asking: "Really? Ling, Ling'er."
Tian Linger glanced at him, reached into his arms and slowly took out a small brocade box. He lowered his eyes to the ground and seemed to muster up the courage before whispering: "I have been carrying this 'cooling bead' for the past two years. body."
After she said this, she didn't dare to look at Qi Hao anymore, but unexpectedly, after a long time, Qi Hao was silent. Tian Linger felt strange and secretly looked up at him, only to see Qi Hao's eyes full of joy and smile, with an expression of indescribable happiness on his face.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time and then suddenly opened their arms and embraced each other.
The moonlight shone coldly on them in the woods but could not illuminate the dark corners.
I don’t know how long it took for the couple to talk sweetly. It wasn’t until Qi Hao looked at the sky that the moon had passed and said, “It’s getting late, Ling’er. Let’s go back! Otherwise, if someone finds out, It’s not good.”
Tian Linger thought for a while and nodded. The two of them looked at each other and suddenly smiled. Nothing was said. Qi Hao took Tian Linger's hand and walked slowly towards Hongqiao. The two of them were like a pair of intimate mandarin ducks under the moonlight. They stayed close for a while before disappearing into Hongqiao.
The night was a bit more desolate.
Zhang Xiaofan slowly walked out from the shadows in the woods and walked to the edge of the clear water pool in a daze, looking at the sparkling water and watching the cold moon reflected in the water swaying gently with the light waves.
He suddenly wanted to cry.
But he didn't cry out after all. The inexplicable pain in his heart was like a furious beast rushing around, leaving scars everywhere in his heart.
But he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
It seemed like he was back to the way he was five years ago. At that time, he had lost everything except Lin Jingyu by his side. The world had completely changed.
But tonight, he was the only one facing it.
A low sound of "roar", which sounded like the snort of some kind of wild beast, suddenly sounded behind him. Zhang Xiaofan woke up from his confusion and looked back, breaking into a cold sweat.
He saw the giant water unicorn, the Qingyun Gate Mountain Spiritual Beast that everyone respectfully called the "Spiritual Lord", suddenly and silently appeared behind him and got very close, lowering its head as if its pair of huge eyes were right next to Zhang Xiaofan's. body.
I don’t know how it could do this with such a big body. Maybe Zhang Xiaofan was so heartbroken that he didn’t realize it.
But at this moment, Zhang Xiaofan's heart almost jumped out of his chest. Seeing this water unicorn's huge body like a hill right in front of him, its bloody mouth, its long sharp fangs shimmering in the moonlight, he was so frightened that he retreated. After taking a few steps, I stumbled over a big stone and fell to the ground.
When he came out, his clothes were not neat, but he was wearing a random coat. At this moment, his body was shaking, and he heard a "clang" sound as something fell to the ground.
The sound spread quickly in this peaceful place and echoed on the water.
Zhang Xiaofan and Shui Qilin lowered their heads at the same time and saw a black so-called "fire stick" lying quietly between Zhang Xiaofan and Shui Qilin at the water's edge.
Zhang Xiaofan's pale face and the ugly fire stick were reflected in Shui Qilin's giant eyes.
Zhang Xiaofan only felt that his throat was dry and cold sweat was pouring down, and he shouted desperately in his heart, "Run, run, run!"
However, in front of Shui Qilin, no matter how much he imagined in his mind, a pair of feet did not seem to be his own and did not move.
Shui Qilin looked at Zhang Xiaofan strangely at this moment, but his attention seemed to be attracted by the fire stick.
I saw this giant beast staring at the black fire stick, looking at the big head, turning around and around, but still couldn't see anything. After a moment, it seemed to hesitate and stretched out its front paws. Carefully, he moved the fire stick.
Zhang Xiaofan watched dumbfounded. Although he was still very scared and curious, he also thought that this "Spirit Master" had lived for thousands of years and was already old and confused. Or was he as old as the big yellow dog at Dazhu Peak? Is this young boy so interested in a fire stick?
I saw the water unicorn's huge paw lightly touching the fire stick and then immediately retracting it. It seemed to be very afraid of the stick. However, the fire stick moved a few times and still lay there calmly without moving.
There was confusion in Shui Qilin's eyes but he still refused to give up. His huge head shook and he suddenly looked towards Zhang Xiaofan. A low but powerful roar came from his bloody mouth.
Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat, his muscles tightened and he stopped breathing.
Unexpectedly, Shui Qilin just glanced at him and then looked at the fire stick again. This time, it actually lowered its head and put its nose to the stick to smell it carefully.
Zhang Xiaofan's heart was beating fast, but looking at the strange behavior of the giant beast in front of him, he subconsciously thought that it looked like Dahuang, and he almost laughed if he wasn't so nervous at the moment.
After sniffing for a while, the water unicorn obviously found nothing. It raised its head and looked around, seemingly confused.
However, the Millennium Spiritual Beast is a Millennium Spiritual Beast after all. After thinking about it for a moment, it decided to give up. The water unicorn snorted with a snort and glared at Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan was frightened half to death again. He shook his head, swung his tail, turned around and walked down the water pool. After a while, water splashed all around. Splash's huge body sank into the pool.
Zhang Xiaofan finally calmed down from the shock and slowly got up. Only then did he feel that the clothes on his back were completely wet, not to mention the cold sweat on his forehead like rain.
He walked over to the fire stick and picked it up. He looked at it but couldn't see anything strange about it, so he couldn't help complaining loudly: "What a ghost!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sound of water coming from the clear water pool next to him, and a splash of water rose up. In the white waves, he could vaguely see the giant tail of the water unicorn rising out of the water.
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked and immediately put the fire stick in his arms and ran away. He only heard the constant sound of water in the pool behind him. He didn't dare to look back and looked again. He just ran as hard as possible as far away from here as possible.
Within a moment, he ran towards Hongqiao and ran straight towards it until he could no longer hear any sounds coming from behind him. He did not stop until he reached the top of Hongqiao and took a deep breath.
"Huhuhu!..."
Zhang Xiaofan's breathing slowly calmed down, but he suddenly felt very tired, a kind of fatigue rising from deep in his heart. He lowered his head and saw a lonely shadow following him in the moonlight.
He suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky, only to see a cold sky and a cold moon hanging high in the sky. He stared blankly for a moment.
Everyone wakes up in the morning.
Du Bishu rubbed his waist and complained loudly: "I really slept all night and my waist is almost broken. How can I compete today?"
Lao Wu, Lu Daxin, frowned and said, "Lao Liu, don't yell. I slept all night and didn't feel any problem with my waist."
Song Daren also said from the side: "It's not enough for you, Sixth, that you complained about being late last night? Didn't you see that both Old Five and Junior Brother had no voice?"
Du Bishu rolled his eyes and said: "Fifth Senior Brother, he is thick-skinned and thick-skinned. If you don't believe me, ask Junior Brother to see him... Hey, Junior Brother, why are your eyes so bloodshot? Didn't you really sleep last night?"
Zhang Xiaofan had packed up the bedding and was now sitting on a chair, staring out the window with no response. Dahuang was lying at his feet. The monkey Xiao Hui was ruffling Dahuang's dog hair as if looking for lice.
Du Bishu walked over and patted him heavily on the shoulder.
Zhang Xiaofan jumped up in excitement, startling Da Huang and Xiao Hui. He turned around and asked, "What, what's going on?"
Du Bishu frowned and said, "Xiaofan, why are you so distracted that you didn't sleep last night?"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No, no."
Du Bishu said: "Then why are your eyes so bloodshot and red?"
Just as Zhang Xiaofan was about to speak, He Dazhi walked over and interjected: "Sixth brother, please stop meddling in other people's business. No matter how bad my junior brother's spirit is, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he has a bye today. If you don't wash up and delay the competition later, you can't blame others." ."
Du Bishu suddenly realized that he didn't care whether Zhang Xiaofan had slept well or not and rushed over, completely ignoring Lu Daxin who was washing his face. Zheng Dali and others grabbed the washbasin and splashed water on their faces. He muttered to himself: "Humph, junior brother, you have a good life, you see. The look on his face like he is determined to sleep in is really... ah! Fifth Senior Brother, please return the basin to me, I'm too late!"
"Pah, I haven't washed myself yet!"
Zhang Xiaofan felt slightly bored as he watched several senior brothers arguing over a washbasin on the other side of the room, stood up and walked out. Just as he was walking to the door, Song Daren suddenly called from behind: "Junior brother, have you washed yourself?"
Zhang Xiaofan turned his head and said: "I have washed it, senior brother."
Song Daren nodded and said, "That's fine. It doesn't matter if you go out for a walk first, but you'll have to go to the dining room for breakfast in a while, okay?"
Zhang Xiaofan responded and said: "I know." After saying that, the monkey Xiao Hui came out and called out "Zhi Zhi" twice and ran over to his shoulders. When Da Huang saw Xiao Hui leaving, he lazily got up and shook his head.
Tails followed and walked out.
In the corridor, Zhang Xiaofan saw the figures on the left and right of brothers from all branches of the Qingyun Sect who had just gotten up and were busy. He walked slowly and unknowingly arrived at Yunhai Square.
At this time, the sky was still dark, and only a few Qingyun disciples were walking in the sea of clouds. The cool mountain breeze blew over Zhang Xiaofan's face, giving him a cold feeling.
Just like last night!
Zhang Xiaofan felt a pain in his heart. He was a sixteen-year-old boy who had just begun to fall in love. He had lived in Dazhu Peak for five years and had been with Tian Linger day and night. He had been deeply in love with this beautiful and lively senior sister since he was a child.
Unexpectedly, last night I witnessed Tian Linger and Qi Hao having a private meeting, and for a moment, it was like a bolt from the blue, and my mind was in chaos.
At this moment, his mind was full of chaotic flashes of scenes from last night that made him heartbroken, and he was walking aimlessly like a wandering ghost without a master.
"Huh?" Suddenly an exclamation sounded beside him, startling Zhang Xiaofan and waking him up from his wild thoughts.
Looking next to him, he saw a young Qingyun disciple with delicate features and a long robe. He was holding a gold-painted fan in his hand, and there seemed to be some paintings of mountains and rivers on the side. At this moment, he was approaching, but his big bright eyes did not look at Zhang Xiaofan, but stared straight at him.
Xiao Hui couldn't stop looking at the monkey on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder.
