"Old friend, you are still in the past, but I am in the twilight of life, and I really can't keep it in the world..." The sword body is as bright as frost and snow, reflecting an old face - the East is immortal.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk" There were several knocks outside the door.

"Who?" asked Dongfang Immortal softly.

"Dad, it's me, Xiu'er. A woman outside the door answered.

"Come in!" Dongfang Immortal still said in a low voice.

The woman pushed the door in, and it was the Oriental Show. Dongfang Xiu turned around and closed the door, then walked a few steps closer towards Dongfang Immortal, and said, "Dad, my daughter just saw who I am." ”

Dongfang Immortal was slightly stunned when he heard this, put the long sword in his hand into the scabbard, and said, "Where is he now?"

Dongfang Xiu told Dongfang Immortal about who he met with me.

"Oh!" Dongfang Immortal nodded thoughtfully after listening.

"Dad, it's been more than six years, I don't know the eldest brother..." Dongfang Xiu choked up before he finished speaking.

The family was unfortunate, and the father and daughter were relatively speechless for a while, and their eyes were full of tears. Dongfang Immortal was silent for a long time, sighed deeply and said, "Xiu'er, you come with me." With that, he walked towards the back room.

The father and daughter went to the back room, which was the study of the East and the place where some of his personal belongings were stored. Dongfang Immortal gently put the Xuanlong Sword on the sword stand, and then came to the front of the case, stretched one hand into the bottom as if it was turning the mechanism, only to hear the "creak", the side wall was actually cracked, as Dongfang Immortal continued to rotate, the crack opened bigger and bigger, and it could already accommodate one person to pass.

Dongfang Xiu looked at everything in front of him, his face was full of surprise, he didn't know that there was such a secret compartment in his father's study since he was a child.

The father and daughter entered the dark compartment, and Dongfang Immortal pulled a mechanism on the wall, and the door was slowly closed.

This dark space is not big or small, if it is half a room large, the interior furnishings are neat and orderly. Dongfang Immortal found a box, bulleted the dust on it, and said to Dongfang Xiu behind him: "Xiu'er, Dad will show you two things today." With that, he opened the hidden lock on the box, lifted the lid, and saw a pair of boots and a belt, two side by side in the box. The style of boots is old, bronze texture, it seems to be a thing of the Qin and Han dynasties, the belt is made of more than 10 inch bronze plates, each bronze plate is inlaid with a piece of jade, the jade accounts for about half of the size, there are various patterns, beasts and birds, not the same.

"Dad, what is this?" Dongfang Xiu asked as he looked at Dongfang Immortal in surprise.

"Child, do you know the Tianhuang Dragon Weapon?" Dongfang Immortal said with a long sigh of relief.

"Tianhuang Dragon Weapon! Wasn't it the Tianhuang Dragon Weapon that we escorted that time?" Dongfang Xiu'e asked with a slight frown.

"That's right, that's the Tianhuang Dragon Weapon!This is also the Tianhuang Dragon Weapon!" Dongfang Immortal said while stroking the belt and boots in the box, "This matter is a long story, wait for Dad to tell you carefully." ”

The father and daughter left the secret room and came to the study, Dongfang Xiu made a cup of tea for their father, and then sat aside and listened to his father's story.

Dongfang Immortal picked up the teacup, supported the bottom with his left hand, and gently scraped the tea leaves on the tea surface with the teacup lid in his right hand, then took a sip, slowly put down the teacup, and said: "When Qin Shi Huang swept the six countries, unified the world, and collected the famous craftsmen of the seven countries to forge a set of armor gods, which was this Tianhuang dragon weapon, and later the Qin Dynasty fell, and the overlord Xiang Yu divided the world, and this complete set of dragon weapons was also divided into pieces, and it has been scattered in the world since then. Originally, this thing was gone, but hundreds of years later, a nameless casting master claimed to be the descendant of the forging Tianhuang dragon weapon, and threatened that if he could collect all eight dragon weapons, it would cause a shocking secret, so the rivers and lakes spread rumors that the dragon weapon won the world, at first it was just the open and secret competition of the various factions in the rivers and lakes, and then the official family actually joined the competition, and for a time the competition for the Tianhuang dragon weapon made the world bloody, and everyone talked about the color change, but in fact, the dragon weapon is now, and the world is chaotic!"

"What is the secret of this dragon weapon that can make people all over the world rush to it at the cost of their lives?"

"Legend has it that after Qin Shi Huang unified the world, he transported all the treasures looted in the Six Kingdoms back to Xianyang City, and this Tianhuang dragon weapon should be related to these treasures, or there are other more amazing secrets. ”

"How did you get these two dragon weapons for Dad?"

Dongfang Immortal took a sip of tea and said: "More than thirty years ago, your father and I fought the sword world, visited the world's famous sword masters, and met several close friends, including the Dao Qingzhen of the Wudang faction, the head of the beggar gang who was drunk and free, the old man of Tianji in Zhongnan Mountain, and one was your uncle Xiahou Fu Xiahou. Later, I founded the Oriental Dart Game with your Uncle Xiahou, and by a coincidence, we got three Tianhuang Dragon Weapons, in addition to these two pieces, there is also a necklace, and your Uncle Xiahou also took that necklace with him when he left the Dart Bureau more than 20 years ago. ”

When Uncle Xiahou left, his daughter was already in the year of the golden hairpin, and I still remember some of the episodes at that time, Uncle Xiahou saved a woman on the way to a dart, and then the woman promised Uncle Xiahou that Uncle Xiahou was suddenly tired of this kind of knife licking blood, and suddenly had the idea of retreating, and wanted to return to the countryside with the woman. ”

"Yes, when he left, he did not want a penny of gold or silver, but only the necklace, which was originally the common property of our brothers, and what reason should I refuse?" He said to me at that time: "Brother, if there is any need for me in the future, all I need is a letter, and my brother will never give up again." It's been more than 20 years, where are you, brother? Now that the dart game is so depressed, big brother is ashamed of you!" Dongfang Immortal became more and more excited the more he spoke, and he couldn't help beating his chest, and his voice was choked.

"Dad..." Dongfang Xiu saw that his father was so excited, and he was about to get up and comfort him.

Dongfang Immortal waved his hand at her, motioned for her to sit down, and continued: "I haven't understood a single bit of these two dragon weapons for many years, and they are meaningless to me, maybe I can exchange them for your eldest brother's life." ”

"It's been so many years, is the eldest brother still here?" Dongfang Xiu choked up before he finished speaking.

Dongfang Immortal slowly stood up, walked to the window, turned his back to Dongfang Xiu and sighed and said, "It's all because I'm too selfish and take care of too much, I'm sorry for Jin'er!"

"Dad..." Dongfang Xiu also got up and stood up, she didn't fully understand the meaning of her father's words, but she knew the pain in her father's heart in the past six years, but six years had made her father a lot older.

Dongfang Immortal turned around, looked at Dongfang Xiu and said: "Child, Daddy has decided to take the dragon weapon to Bianjing to find your eldest brother, everything in the family depends on you, if I can bring your eldest brother back, it would be the best, if there is still no news of me after three months, you will leave here, find a secluded place to live well, raise a few children to adulthood, and no longer step into the rivers and lakes." ”

"Dad, let my daughter go!" Dongfang Xiusheng burst into tears, "Your old man is so old, how can my daughter bear to let you go on an adventure!"

"Child, you are wrong, in fact, your responsibility is greater than that of your father, do you know? Your mother and your sister-in-law are both ordinary women's families, and the burden of this family can all be on your shoulders! Besides, this experience in the rivers and lakes is much stronger than your father!" Dongfang Immortal picked up the Xuanlong sword and drew the sword out of the sheath, but saw that the Xuanlong sword was cold and sharp, "Old friend, let's fight the rivers and lakes again together!"

Dongfang Xiu quietly looked at her father and stopped talking, she understood her father's good intentions, yesterday's things have become a thing of the past, today he has to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, and he has to redeem the lost dignity of Dongfang Dart Bureau, even if it is a road of no return, he still has no hesitation. Thinking of this, Dongfang Xiu couldn't help but burst into tears.

The next day, Dongfang Immortal only brought a dragon weapon, left the belt at home, and told Dongfang Xiuqian that it must be kept, and then bid farewell to his family, without a retinue, and set out on the journey to Bianjing alone.

Near dusk, next to the thatched hut by the small river on the outskirts of Yangzhou City, stood two middle-aged men in ragged clothes, each holding a stick.

"He's gone anyway, is he really running away?"

"The rivers and lakes are vast, and it is difficult to look back. If he really wants to get rid of this troubled world, why should we be strong?

"But now the fate of the beggar gang urgently needs someone to come out and turn the tide, and I really can't think of a suitable candidate other than him. ”

"Lao Luo, Lao She has now drunk the ecstasy soup surnamed Meng. For the sake of the beggars, you and I have a long way to go!"

"Yes, but the surname Meng's soft and hard work has won people's hearts, and now the gang has been bewitched by him for nearly seven layers, how can it be good in the long run?"

"The Central Plains martial arts catastrophe, how can the beggars be alone. What should come will always come, as long as we do our best, no matter what the outcome is, we will have a clear conscience. Let's go, Lao Luo. ”

"Or we'd better wait! Maybe he's going to send a rooster to the restaurant." ”

As soon as the two of them heard the word "flower chicken", their stomachs invariably "cooed" twice, and they couldn't help but glance at each other and shook their heads.

"You and I have been waiting from early morning to now, and besides, there is no trace of roasting flower chicken here, I think he should be gone. ”

This is called the word "flower chicken" and caused the two of them to "coo" in their stomachs, and in order to avoid embarrassment, the two turned their backs to each other.

"In that case, let's go, it's useless to wait for a long time, so as not to lose your stomach. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and then left together.
