Cangsongyuan in Zhike Peak is a five-entry courtyard with multiple courtyards compounded together. A huge living room is built in each courtyard, and pine trees are planted there to welcome guests.
This is the place where Chunyang Temple is specially used to receive guests for gatherings.
In February, Jinxia Mountain is still snowing all day long. The canopy of the trees in Cangsong Courtyard is completely white with snow. When the mountain wind blows, pieces of ice crystals fly up, shining brightly under the sunlight.
At this time, the elders of several sects gathered in the innermost courtyard, seemingly discussing something important, while the young disciples were in the outermost courtyard, admiring the snowy scenery while communicating and getting to know each other.
They are all very young, even young.
The youngest among them is Jiang Huaixi, only thirteen years old, while the oldest Zhong Yuanxuan is only sixteen years old.
In the next five to ten years, the martial arts world will be their stage.
For the sect they came from, this gathering is a good opportunity for the young talented disciples to get to know each other and build a good relationship.
But for these young geniuses, what they are most looking forward to is the afternoon competition.
They are all the most amazing people among their peers in their own sect, and have almost no rivals within the sect.
Such people, looking at the martial arts world, can be said to be caught in large numbers, they are inconspicuous.
Therefore, he was very eager to find an opponent to improve his swordsmanship.
"Is there any need to guess?" Jiang Huaixi said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Senior Sister Cheng is a martial arts genius who has not been born in Zhujian Pavilion for 500 years, a swordsman genius who is rare to see in a thousand years, and she was a martial arts genius before she was nine years old.
I have been holding a sword for two years and I am a natural swordsman."
No matter where Du Heng went, where he sat, or who he talked to, this little girl would always follow him, saying that she would represent Yaochi Tianfu and Chunyang Temple to get closer.
"Is this the Xujing of Chunyang Temple?" Cheng Yujun stared at Du Heng sitting not far away, feeling a little surprised in his heart, "Obviously he is only in the spiritual realm, but when he walked with the sword in his hand, he actually gave me a human sword.
The feeling of unity seems to have brought the swordsmanship to an extremely high level.
Cheng Yujun had naturally noticed Chu Jiu's gaze a long time ago.
"She doesn't like you, does she?" Jiang Huaixi's eyes seemed to be shining, and she said with a smile, "Senior Sister Cheng and I are very familiar with each other, do you want me to ask you?"
Cheng Yujun's eyebrows have begun to open, she is tall and has curves, and her temperament is cool and calm, so she has no problem calling her a girl.
But Jiang Huaixi still has a baby face, bright eyes, curved eyebrows, soft facial features, pretty and cute, and an unremarkable figure. She looks like a porcelain doll, obviously a child.
"If you dare to go, I'll blow your head off." Du Heng rolled his eyes, there was really nothing he could do about such a naughty boy.
That is Cheng Yujun, a genius disciple of Zhujian Pavilion. It is said that he is a peerless genius who is expected to reach the top before he is twenty years old.
"It is said that he has only been practicing martial arts for four months, but he has already mastered swordsmanship to this extent? Chunyang Guan is indeed a Taoist sect with profound foundation. Even though it has declined now, it can still cultivate such outstanding talents.
But in fact, Chu Jiu is a genius who has reached the perfection of inner strength at the age of fifteen, and is now only one step away from the realm of divine power.
"Hey, Senior Brother Xujing, you can't beat me." Jiang Huaixi said with a full smile, "You are in the Spiritual Movement Realm, and I am in the Breathing Realm. There is a big difference between them! Haha!"
"Ah, my hair is messed up!" Jiang Huaixi pouted and hummed, "I don't believe you can win. If you really win, I will, I will give you one that I personally raised in Tianchi.
It’s a big goose, it’s delicious when roasted!”
In his eyes, there is no distinction between men and women, only the difference between strong swordsmanship and strong strength.
Ever since he came to Cangsongyuan, Jiang Huaixi from Yaochi Tianfu has been pestering him.
Moreover, his talent in swordsmanship is extremely high, which shocked the past and present.
"If I give him a few more years to practice a few more sword techniques and further deepen his understanding of the way of the sword, he may really become an opponent that I can take seriously. Unfortunately, his time to practice martial arts is too short now.
"
"As long as I can defeat her, my swordsmanship will definitely improve greatly."
"Oh, then you can get ready to delve into the art of roasting goose." Du Heng said with a smile.
He has an ordinary appearance and unremarkable facial features. He wears a gray robe every day. He likes to sit in the corner and is taciturn. He seems to not care about anything except the sword he holds in his hand.
She had long known that this swordsman from the Cangming Sword Sect was a swordsman, and she also knew that Chu Jiu was extremely talented in swordsmanship and should be one of her strongest opponents during this trip to Chunyang Temple.
This is her confidence in herself.
Jiang Huaixi is only thirteen years old this year, half a month younger than Du Heng. She started practicing martial arts at the age of nine and is now at the perfect state of breathing.
Although she and Cheng Yujun are only one and a half years apart, their impressions are very different.
In comparison, he focused more on Du Heng.
Now that I have finally met the geniuses of the same generation from other sects, of course I want to compete with them immediately to see who is stronger and which one is weaker, so as to prove my martial arts level.
In his opinion, this trip to Chunyang Temple is a good opportunity.
His swordsmanship is even more superb.
Her big eyes were looking around, and she suddenly poked Du Heng gently with her finger, and laughed softly: "Senior Brother Xujing, have you noticed? Senior Sister Cheng has been staring at you for a long time."
At this time, Jiang Huaixi was sitting next to Du Heng, her legs could not touch the ground, and she was hanging precariously in the air.
However, Cheng Yujun did not think that Chu Jiu would be his opponent, even if it was just a competition of moves.
At this point, she suddenly changed the subject, "Senior Brother Xujing, I know a lot about Senior Sister Cheng's swordsmanship. Do you want me to secretly teach you a few moves to prevent you from losing too badly this afternoon?"
Chu Jiu of the Cangming Sword Sect had this idea.
At this time, Du Heng was thinking of ways to get rid of the naughty kid around him.
"What if I win?" Du Heng pressed Jiang Huaixi's head and rubbed it.
He didn't even bother to pay attention to Cheng Yujun's gaze.
"I'm going to spar with her in the afternoon." Du Heng replied helplessly, "I should be observing my opponent."
Chu Jiu sat in the shadow of the corner, staring quietly at Cheng Yujun not far away.
If he only competes with moves, he has already surpassed all the masters of the subtle realm in the Cangming Sword Sect.
"Oh?" Du Heng said with a smile, "Are you so sure that I will lose?"
However, there were many sects coming to Jinxia Mountain for the meeting, but there was only one opponent that Chu Jiu really cared about.
"Hehe, I don't think you can withstand three moves from Senior Sister Cheng's sword." Jiang Huaixi tilted her head and said with a smile, "I have seen how powerful her swordsmanship is many times!"
Dang Dang Dang!
At this time, a bell suddenly rang, which was the reminder bell for lunch at Chunyang Temple.
"I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, let's go eat." Du Heng tried to take the opportunity to get rid of Jiang Huaixi, a talkative little girl.
"Hey, let's do it together!" Jiang Huaixi followed closely.
