Dazhou Dynasty, Wuzhou, Dongning Prefecture.
At the main entrance of the ‘Jinghu Taoist Temple’, one of the eight Taoist temples in Dongning Fucheng, a young man with a sword on his waist walked out of the Taoist Temple.
"Senior Brother Meng."
"Hello, Senior Brother Meng."
"I have met Senior Brother Meng."
Other fellow disciples around They are all quite enthusiastic.
The young Meng Chuan nodded slightly to these junior brothers and sisters. In fact, many of these 'junior brothers and sisters' are older than him. However, the rule of Jinghu Taoist Academy is that the most accomplished come first. He was as early as two years ago He had already entered Jinghu Taoist Academy's "Shanshui Building" before. The twenty-two disciples of Shanshui Building were also the twenty-two strongest in Jinghu Taoist Academy, and were admired and yearned by many junior brothers and sisters. Among them, 'Senior Brother Meng' is particularly respected because Senior Brother Meng will occasionally give them guidance, while other senior brothers and sisters from Shanshui Tower are too lazy to waste time on others.
"Master, Master." Suddenly a familiar voice came from the side.
A girl in green ran out from the side. Meng Chuan smiled when he saw this: "Luzhu, why are you here?"
"My lady wants to invite the young master to go with her. We were visiting Dongshan. There was a heavy snowfall last night. Dongshan is very beautiful after the snow." The girl in green said with a smile.
"Going to Dongshan?" Meng Chuan frowned and said, "Dongshan is too far away. If you go there, you may have to spend the night in Dongshan and won't be able to come back until tomorrow."
The girl in green smiled and said: "My Yun family happens to have a villa in Dongshan, where you can spend the night."
Meng Chuan shook his head and said: "Go back and tell Qingping that it will be there in more than a month." I need to practice hard to prepare for the Yuyang Palace Demon Slaying Ceremony, so I can’t accompany her there.”
“This…” the girl in green hesitated.
"Just say it when you go back." Meng Chuan ordered, "Also, let Qingping spend more time practicing and don't always think about going out for fun."
"Yes." The girl in green could only respond obediently and go back to report.
Meng Chuan shook his head slightly.
He also has some headaches about 'Yun Qingping', who has been engaged since childhood.
......
Jinghu Taoist Temple was built on the east bank of Jinghu Lake. There are many mansions on the west bank of Jinghu Lake, among which is the 'Meng Mansion'.
"Young Master." There were two guards at the door of the house, and they were quite respectful when they saw Meng Chuan.
"Is my father in the house?" Meng Chuan asked.
"I just sent someone from the ancestral home, and I rushed there immediately." The guard said.
Meng Chuan nodded thoughtfully and entered the mansion.
"Boom!!!!" Soon the sound of arrows was vaguely heard, and Meng Chuan followed the sound to the martial arts training ground.
At the martial arts training ground, a girl in red was bending a bow and shooting arrows. Arrows shot through dozens of feet in an instant and hit the target one after another, and the last arrow hit the shaft of the previous one. superior.
Meng Chuan watched the opponent practice archery from the side.
Her name is Liu Qiyue, and she is her father’s life-and-death brother ‘Liu Ye’.Bai’s only daughter.
When he was eight years old...
Liu Yebai brought his daughter to Meng Mansion and stayed there ever since.
Qiyue is very similar to herself, both lost their mothers when they were very young. Qi Qiu has been practicing with him since he was a child, and they have been practicing together to this day, and their relationship is very deep.
"Achuan, you're back." The girl in red's eyes lit up when she saw Meng Chuan, "It's so boring to shoot these targets. Come on, come on, become a target for me. If it weren't for waiting for you, I would I've already gone to the Taoist Academy to practice archery. The Taoist Archery Field is much bigger than this."
"Okay, I'll use it as a target for you."
Meng Chuan walked to the training ground with a smile. central.
The girl in red changed her quiver, and the arrows were all without arrows. She looked at Meng Chuan with bright eyes: "Achuan, you have to be careful, don't get beaten up again by me. ."
"Be careful, I will definitely break your seven-star arrow this time." Meng Chuan waited intently.
The girl in red smiled, followed her fingers like a phantom, and instantly drew the bow and shot the arrow without seeming to need to aim.
Whoosh! ! ! Arrow after arrow was shot out one after another. Every time he takes an arrow from the quiver on his back, draws the bow and shoots, and then takes an arrow, draws the bow and shoots... it's as natural as a normal person breathing, each arrow is also incredibly fast and equally powerful.
"Puff, puff, puff." The knife at Meng Chuan's waist has been unsheathed.
The sword moves in an arc, forming a faint field in front of it, and all arrows fired will be blocked.
"Achuan, your sword skills are becoming more and more powerful, but you still have to use the seven-star chain of arrows." The girl in red said with a smile while shooting the arrow. Obviously, it was very easy to shoot the arrow like this.
"Whoops!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl in red shot a new arrow, which pierced the air with a harsh scream.
"Here it comes!" Meng Chuan became more solemn.
"Pfft." "Pfft."
The Meng Chuan knife moved in an arc, blocking arrows like a ball. But the Seven-Star Arrow is a killing move that consumes a lot of energy, and the arrow speed will become faster and faster.
On the sixth arrow, Meng Chuan's sword blocked Kong, and then he felt a pain in his chest. He couldn't help but staggered, and his chest was probably bruised.
"Still unable to block it." Meng Chuan shook his head and said helplessly.
"Of the five major killing moves I have perfected, you can already block the four major killing moves, and only the 'Seven Stars Continuous Arrows' are left." The girl in red smiled, "It's already very powerful. When I was in the Taoist Academy, no one at the Marrow Cleansing Realm level could block my 'Triple Phantom Arrow', but you were able to block it."
"I've been able to block your bows and arrows since I was a child, and of course I'm better than your Taoist Academy ones. "It's stronger." Meng Chuan shook his head, "You still don't have arrows. If you add arrows, the speed of the arrows will be faster... I'm afraid I won't be able to block most of them."
"Achuan, haven't you heard? In the same realm, no one can resist the mad attack of the sharp archer." The girl in red said proudly.
"July... It's a real life and death fight. I would have rushed in front of you as soon as possible." Meng Chuan snorted.
"Archers all have guards." The girl in red curled her lips and said, "My guards will block you, and then you will become my target. Maybe you will be my guard in the future!" ”
Meng Chuan smiled.
He is very aware of how terrifying the archers are. In any force, the top archers have a very high status and will be well protected.
My July sister is very talented in bow and arrow.
"Achuan, your dean called you over today, is it about the Yuyang Palace Demon Slaying Ceremony?" Liu Qiyue asked.
"Well, your Lieyang Taoist Academy has also said it." Meng Chuan asked.
"Say it! I am the only one of the top ten disciples in the Marrow Cleansing Realm of Lieyang Taoist Academy, and the dean directly assigned a spot to me." Liu Qiyue said, "In Yuyang I am the best at dealing with monsters in the Palace Demon Slaying Festival."
Meng Chuan said with a smile: "We have a total of three places in the Marrow Cleansing Realm in Jinghu Taoist Temple. Although I am in the Marrow Cleansing Realm. One of the top disciples, but you still have to compete for a spot. If you can't get a spot, you won't be qualified to go."
"Then just work hard," Liu Qiyue said with a smile.
"Don't be careless. When you face monsters at the Yuyang Palace Monster Slaying Festival, be sure not to get close to them." Meng Chuan said, "Let's practice first."
As he spoke, Meng Chuan suddenly flew over.
"Catch me if you can."
Liu Qiyue immediately flew out of the way and even turned around to shoot an arrow.
......
In another place, the 'Yun Family', one of the five major gods and demon families in Dongning Prefecture.
Yun Qingping is making tea for her father ‘Yun Fu’an’.
"Dad, please try it." Yun Qingping put a cup of tea in front of her father. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of the maid Lu Zhu coming back from the distance. Her eyes lit up and she shouted, "Lv Zhu." Bamboo!”
The green bamboo can only pass by.
"How about it? What did Meng Chuan say?" Yun Qingping asked repeatedly.
"Mr. Meng said that the Yuyang Palace Demon Slaying Festival will be held in more than a month. He has to devote himself to training to prepare and cannot accompany you, Miss, to Dongshan." Luzhu whispered. .
"Aren't you going?"
Yun Qingping was a little angry, "I just know how to practice, practice, practice."
"Mr. Meng also asked me to tell the lady, Spend more time practicing and don't always think about going out for fun," Luzhu said again.
"He still cares about me?"
Yun Qingping became more and more angry.
"I think Meng Chuan is right." Yun Fu'an, who was sitting there, drank tea happily and said, "You girl should practice hard and stop playing around."
p>
"Dad, this Meng Chuan is just like wood." Yun Qingping looked at Yun Fu'an and couldn't help but said, "When I was just one month old, you arranged a baby kiss for me and Meng Chuan! But! Our temperaments are completely different. I like to play and entertain.Play with many friends. But he likes to practice, draw, and be quiet. When I talked to him, my words were inconsistent. The thought of getting married to him in the future makes me almost crazy. "
"You are just too noisy. It is a good thing that there happens to be someone who can cure you. Yun Fu'an said with a smile.
Yun Qingping came to her father's side, hugged her father's arm and said coquettishly: "Dad, I beg you, go talk to the Meng family and talk to Uncle Meng." As soon as I said it, the engagement was broken off. ”
“Don’t even think about it! "Yun Fu'an drank tea and refused directly.
"Dad!
Yun Qingping said angrily, "Why do you have to force me to marry him?" Back then, I was just one month old and didn't understand anything, so they decided to get married to me. How do you know what Meng Chuan will be like when he grows up? You have no idea, so you insist on me marrying him. You don't even care what I think. Don't you think it's too much? "
"Meng Chuan is still good. "Yun Fu'an said, "He is the younger generation of the five major gods and demon families in Dongning Mansion. He is considered very good. "
"No matter how good he is, I don't like him! Yun Qingping said angrily, "I don't want to marry a so-called genius who can't even talk to her." "
Yun Fu'an gently put down the teacup, raised his eyelids, and looked at his daughter coldly.
Yun Qingping's heart trembled.
But in her heart Her arrogance made her hold her head high and stare at her father! "In the past six months, you have told me to terminate the engagement six times. Yun Fu'an said coldly, "It seems that dad dotes on you too much. I will make it clear to you today." "
Yun Qingping stared at her father.
Yun Fu'an continued: "The marriage between you and Meng Chuan is not just a matter between you two. It’s also our Yun family’s and Meng family’s business! Although our Yun family is one of the five great families of gods and demons, we have only settled in Dongning Mansion for a few decades, with only a few dozen members, and our foundation is still shallow. The Meng family is a family of gods and demons that has been rooted in Dongning for thousands of years, with over 10,000 members! Meng Chuan’s father ‘Meng Dajiang’ will be the next head of the Meng family. You are the only girl in the third generation of our Yun family. If you marry Meng Chuan, the relationship between our Yun family and Meng family will naturally take a big step forward. This is also of great benefit to my Yun family. ”
“My grandfather has become a god and demon through cultivation. Yun Qingping retorted, "As long as my grandfather is here, no one can shake my Yun family!" In this case, why can't it make my life more comfortable? "
" Comfortable? Being comfortable means marrying whoever you want to marry? Yun Fu'an said coldly.
"What, can't it?" Yun Qingping raised her head and said, "For the sake of the family, you must sacrifice me?" Dad, don't you feel ashamed? "
"Shut up! "
Yun Fu'an stood up angrily, pointed angrily at his daughter, and shouted, "Yun Qingping, if you want to go out for fun, there will be a group of guards and servants. If you want to eat dragon fish in the middle of winter, someone will risk their lives to help you find it. You don’t have to practice hard, but there are still a lot of treasures used on you, allowing you to reach the marrow cleansing state this year. I'll ask a master to give you one-on-one guidance. You're weak. I'll ask three bodyguards to protect you secretly.To protect you, it costs five hundred taels of silver a month to hire three bodyguards from the Rebirth Realm, and various other treasures..."
"For your so-called freedom, do you know how much your family has paid? "Yun Fu'an stared at her daughter.
Yun Qingping was stunned.
She is not stupid.
She knew to maintain such a life after a little calculation. , What an amazing amount of money the family has made on her.
“After you enjoy the benefits of the family, you have to bear your share! Yun Fu'an shouted angrily, "Just enjoy the benefits and do nothing?" Beautiful thought! "
"Also, I know there is a little guy in your Taoist temple named Zhang Chong. He has been very attentive to you recently, right? Yun Fu'an sneered, "He is a boy from a branch of the Zhang family. He is worthy of marrying my daughter, Yun Fu'an. He doesn't even look in the mirror to see who he is!" "
"Dad, Senior Brother Zhang and I have nothing..." Yun Qingping wanted to explain.
"As long as I find that you have violated the rules in the slightest and tainted my Yun family and The Meng family’s face. Not only must he die, but you too! I will clean the door! " Yun Fu'an looked at her slightly frightened daughter coldly, "Don't blame the father for being ruthless when the time comes. "
Yun Qingping felt chilled in her heart.
She has never seen such a cold side of her father. She is only fifteen years old this year.
"Daughter. Yun Fu'an's expression softened, "That's what family marriage is like. No matter how ugly or incompetent he is, you still have to marry him." When your father and I married your mother, it was your grandfather who made the decision himself, so we didn’t even have a choice! And speaking of it, Meng Chuan has a very good character, you should be lucky. "
After saying that, Yun Fu'an glanced at the maid Lu Zhu who was shivering behind her daughter, and ordered: "Luzhu, watch your young lady for me, don't let her make mistakes. "
"Yes. "Luzhu responded quickly.
Yun Fu'an then left with his hands behind his hands.
Yun Qingping stood there, staring blankly at her father's leaving figure, thinking of that sentence “Even you, I will clean up the door. Don't blame the father for being ruthless when the time comes. ", this sentence is really irritating to Yun Qingping.
She feels that this world is different from what she has imagined for so many years.
