In the early morning, the north wind howled, the sky turned from light gray to orange, a nebula spread out, the infinite Milky Way gradually narrowed in sight, and the last starlight hung down from the spire.
The sun always rises and the sky never stays the same.
Xuanyuan Palace is still quiet, except for the sound of swords waving in the corner of the palace wall, cutting through the air. The hilt of the sword has been covered with heat, and a young man wearing stars and moons, dancing to the sound of a chicken, is practicing his sword.
Peng You's sword was flying, riding on the wind and snow, practicing dozens of moves, and suddenly sheathed the long sword, thinking to himself: This Tianshu swordsmanship is indeed exquisite, and the foundation building movements are so delicate.
Peng You's mouth was a little dry, so he took a long breath and chewed the cold air.
He was born with intelligence, and he thought carefully at this moment: Master has only practiced Tianshu swordsmanship in his thirties. Is it too hasty to teach me this unique skill at this time? If I continue to practice the Chinese swordsmanship before, I can also improve.
Peng You was thinking about it when he suddenly smelled a wisp of fragrance. His nose twitched slightly. He felt happy and looked back.
But seeing Princess Butterfly walking towards him, he put away his sword and stepped forward, saying: "Butterfly, this is the first time I've seen you get up so early."
Princess Butterfly heard this and pouted: "Brother, you are making fun of me."
Peng You said with a smile: "It's cold and freezing, so sleep more, but don't freeze either."
Butterfly hummed softly and whispered: "You are going to Dongyi with Princess Xiaoyan. When will you set off?"
Peng You replied: "Tomorrow is the martial arts conference. I will go and determine my martial arts rank, and then go to Dongyi with Yan'er."
Butterfly frowned slightly, hesitated to speak, and said calmly: "I am happy to see that you two have the same affection. Girls should congratulate you more, but I have nothing to give, so I will give this to you."
Princess Butterfly said and handed out a cloth bag. Peng You saw that she seemed to be worried and felt puzzled. He took the cloth bag and opened it.
Golden soft armor?
Peng Youqi said: "Butterfly, this is what your father gave to you. He can protect you. How can you give it away so easily?"
Princess Butterfly pursed her lips and said, "Whatever belongs to me is mine, and I can give it to whomever I want."
Peng You restored the cloth bag and was about to hand it to Princess Butterfly when a gentle female voice came: "Brother Peng, what are you talking about?"
Peng You and Princess Butterfly heard the words and looked at the sound.
Yao Yaner walked up to the two of them with a smile. She looked at Princess Butterfly, and the two of them bowed to each other.
Yao Yan'er held two roasted corns in her hand, shook her little hand, and said: "Brother Peng, you got up so early. You are hungry, give it."
Peng You was holding the cloth bag and had no hands to take it. Yao Yaner smiled and said, "What is this?" She handed over the corn and took the cloth bag from Peng You's hand.
Yao Yan'er gently opened the cloth bag, revealing the golden soft armor. She suddenly smiled and said: "It turns out to be golden soft armor."
Princess Butterfly was stunned and said, "How does Princess Xiaoyan know this thing?"
Yao Yan'er smiled and said, "Because my father gave it to your father." Peng You had never heard of this.
Princess Butterfly frowned and said, "Your father? Xue Bian?"
Xue Bian was leaning on the iron fence at this time, his eyes dim and his brows tightened. He looked up and saw some light seeping out of the cracks in the mountain wall. He no longer knew how many days he had been in the dungeon at the bottom of the mountain.
He let out a long sigh, thinking that he was the leader of the central Dongyi tribe and the lord of Dongyi City. He relied on the sky and the sea, and was in charge of the mining and distribution of sea shell coins. He had great wealth and power, but now he was trapped here.
Qian Zai, who is in the cage next door, taps his fingers gently on the iron fence with an orderly rhythm, as if he is playing a piece of music.
Qian Zai threw a few fruits at Xue Bian's feet and said, "City Lord Xue, if you don't eat anything, you will starve to death."
Xue Bian did not answer, but suddenly frowned and said, "Fruit? Where did you get the fruit?"
Qianzai smiled and said: "Of course it grows on trees, how can I conjure it out of thin air?"
Xue Bian asked: "What kind of tree is this dark space?" He looked in all directions and saw a square array of hundreds of cages. Looking further around, there was only darkness.
Qianzai said calmly: "I designed this dungeon so that it can only be entered and not exited, but that doesn't mean I want to starve to death those who come in. The iron prison has been moving in the past few days, can't you feel it?"
Xue Bian hurriedly asked: "What's the use of this?"
Qianzai laughed and said: "Of course, I will wait until you reach the exit of the cage to pick fruits and hunt to satisfy your hunger."
Xue Bian seemed surprised when he heard this: "Exit? Where is it?"
Qian Zai said calmly: "I advise you not to make that idea. It is only used for food. Although it is spacious, it is surrounded by cliffs. Even if the Great Immortal Master comes, he will not be able to get out."
Xue Bian glared and said: "Even if it is a cliff, you can climb it! Even if it is difficult to climb over, it is always better outside than here!"
Qianzai smiled and said: "You dare to stay outside? When the great martial artist's iron prison moves there, he likes to be alone and kills everyone he sees. Can you escape?"
Xue Bian was shocked and said: "There is a great martial artist trapped in this dungeon? Who is it?"
Qian Zai chuckled and said, "Who else could it be? Of course it would be Li Mu's senior brother!"
In Xuanyuan Palace.
Limu walked towards where Peng You, Yao Yan'er and Princess Butterfly were standing.
Peng You hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Master, be well." Yao Yan'er bowed and saluted.
Li Mu nodded, and Princess Butterfly asked: "Master Li Mu, why are you here?"
Limu replied: "I have been watching Peng'er practice martial arts here for a long time."
Peng You didn't notice it before and hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, Master, for your concern."
But Li Mu's eyes flickered and he said: "You specialize in studying techniques, just like my senior brother, but I love fighting and don't like practicing. If my senior brother can teach you, you can become even more refined."
Peng You said hurriedly: "Master, I will practice diligently. Although I may not be able to become a great martial artist like Master You Ying, I will not disappoint Master's expectations."
Yao Yan'er listened to the conversation between the two and interrupted: "Master Wandering Eagle? Back then, he went to the ends of the earth to fight against the giant beasts alone, but he disappeared. I saw him when I was a child."
Limu nodded, looked at Yao Yan'er and Princess Butterfly, and said, "If you two have nothing to do, please don't disturb Peng'er's practice." After speaking, Limu turned and left.
Princess Butterfly stuck out her tongue and said: "Master Li Mu is so serious, but also scary."
She looked at Yao Yan'er again and said, "Princess Xiao Yan, this golden soft armor was a gift from your father. It is only fitting that I give it to you two again."
Hearing this, Yao Yan'er stopped pushing and pulling with Princess Butterfly and put away the golden soft armor. Peng You was about to stop her, but Yao Yan'er blinked and Peng You signaled. Princess Butterfly saw that the two accepted it, bowed and left.
Peng You looked at Yao Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, why did you accept this?"
Yao Yan'er smiled and said, "Butterfly sincerely gives me a gift. If you don't accept it, it will also hurt her heart."
Peng You nodded slightly: "Butterfly's temperament is indeed like this, unfettered."
Yao Yan'er suddenly frowned again and said, "But I saw that her expression was not just congratulations. She insisted on giving this protective gear, as if she knew there was some danger to you."
Peng You hurriedly asked: "Danger?" He continued with a smile: "Tomorrow is the martial arts competition. It is inevitable to get injured during the fight. Butterfly is careful."
Yao Yan'er shook her head and said: "It's a bit strange, and your master suddenly appeared, as if he was staring at you, and his expression was also strange. He seemed to have two expressions."
Peng You wondered: "Why is it strange? Although Master is very strict, he treats me very well."
Yao Yan'er suddenly frowned, her scalp went numb, and she exclaimed loudly: "That expression not only contains love for your loved ones, but also a sigh for the dying person!"
