Liu Qingyun stood at the southern end of the town, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance, and an indescribable melancholy surged in his heart. His figure looked particularly lonely in the setting sun, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and his eyes flashed with longing and anxiety for the unknown world.
The town is called Bishui Town, surrounded by mountains, and a clear stream flows leisurely, and the stream glows with golden points of light in the setting sun, which is peaceful and beautiful. However, this tranquility did not soothe the turmoil in Liu Qingyun's heart. His parents died when he was a child, and he was adopted by Shen Jianxin, the only martial arts hall owner in the town. Shen Jianxin is a taciturn middle-aged man, but he has a good swordsmanship, he treats Liu Qingyun as if he were his own, and teaches him martial arts.
Liu Qingyun remembered that in the dead of night, Shen Jianxin would always walk alone to the cliff outside the town and sigh at the starry sky. He once followed secretly, only to see his adoptive father's eyes full of deep melancholy and reluctance, as if he had an inseparable past. At that time, he secretly vowed that one day he would reveal all these secrets.
Today, Liu Qingyun once again witnessed Shen Jianxin's sigh. He knew that this secret would eventually become the introduction for him to embark on the road to the rivers and lakes. He decided to set off early tomorrow morning to find the mystery hidden in Shen Jianxin's heart.
Early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight shined through the window lattice, Liu Qingyun packed his bags. He walked through the familiar streets, each step heavy on his feet. The townspeople hadn't gotten out of bed yet, and only a few chickens were fighting around the corners, shattering the silence.
He came to the front of the martial arts hall, pushed open the door, and found that Shen Jianxin had been waiting inside for a long time. Shen Jianxin's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and then turned into a deep silence. He seemed to have known Liu Qingyun's decision, but he didn't say anything to keep it.
"Master, I'm leaving." Liu Qingyun's voice was firm and powerful.
Shen Jianxin nodded, took out a thin booklet from his arms, and handed it to Liu Qingyun: "This is some of my experience when I was young, maybe it will be useful to you." ”
Liu Qingyun took the booklet and felt the heavy affection contained in it. He bowed deeply, turned around and stepped out of the door of the martial arts hall, embarking on a journey to find the truth.
The wind is surging, the back of a teenager is gradually drifting away, his journey has just begun, and this town will also have many waves because of his departure.
Chapter Title: Chapter 2 The Sword Reaches the Sky
Liu Qingyun embarked on the road to the bustling city, dusty along the way, his heart full of curiosity and anticipation for the unknown. After several days of trekking, we finally arrived at the place called Smoke City. It is a gathering place for people in the rivers and lakes, and it is also the center of various news exchanges.
At the gate of the city, people come and go, and all kinds of people shuttle between them. As soon as Liu Qingyun entered the city, he felt an unprecedented hustle and bustle. His gaze wandered through the crowd, trying to find clues among the faces.
At this moment, a commotion came, and I saw several warriors in gorgeous costumes surrounding a thin young man. The young man's face was pale, but there was an unyielding sparkle in his eyes. Liu Qingyun's heart moved, and he stepped forward.
"What's so noisy?" Liu Qingyun asked lightly.
One of the warriors looked him up and down and sneered, "Boy, it's none of your business, get out of the way!" ”
Liu Qingyun remained silent, just stood there quietly, his eyes like a torch. When the warrior saw this, he was displeased in his heart, and waved his hand with a punch. However, before his fist touched Liu Qingyun, he gently flicked it, and the martial artist suddenly felt a strong force coming, his body was unstable, and he fell to the ground.
The crowd of onlookers let out a burst of exclamations, they didn't expect this seemingly ordinary teenager to have such martial arts. Seeing this, several other warriors drew their swords one after another, and besieged Liu Qingyun with great momentum.
Liu Qingyun's footsteps moved lightly, his swordsmanship was as natural as flowing water, and each sword was just right to defuse the opponent's attack. In just a moment, those warriors fell to the ground one by one, unable to fight any longer.
The emaciated young man looked at the scene in front of him, dumbfounded. Liu Qingyun walked up to him and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”
The young man came back to his senses and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Shaoxia for your help, I'm Wang Xiaoshi, I don't know the name of Shaoxia?" ”
"Liu Qingyun." He replied briefly, and then asked Wang Xiaoshi why he had a conflict with someone.
Wang Xiaoshi sighed and said, "I inadvertently offended Li Tieshou, the bully in the city, and they have been entangled endlessly. ”
Liu Qingyun frowned slightly, he had heard of Li Tieshou's name, this person was a tyrant in the city, and there were many thugs under him, who were rampant and domineering. He looked at Wang Xiaoshi, and a trace of sympathy arose in his heart: "Don't worry, I will help you solve this matter." ”
In this way, Liu Qingyun and Wang Xiaoshi walked together, and the two talked all the way and gradually became acquainted. Although Wang Xiaoshi's martial arts are not high, he is delicate and knows a lot about things in the rivers and lakes. He told Liu Qingyun a lot of stories and rules about the rivers and lakes, which gave Liu Qingyun a deeper understanding of this complex world.
When night fell, the lights of Cuiyan City were brilliant, and the two found an inn to settle in. Liu Qingyun was lying on the bed, full of thoughts. He knows that his road to the rivers and lakes has just begun, and everything today is just the prologue. He closed his eyes and vowed in his heart that no matter how many difficulties and dangers lay ahead, he would overcome them one by one and find his own path.
