Eighteen years later!

At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains outside the Saiwai, there is a small village that has no quarrel with the world, the village is not large, only about ten families. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was early February, the weather in the north was still very cold, and as soon as it was dark, the people in the village began to sleep and rest.

In the only room where the lights were still on, an old man in his sixties, his brows furrowed almost into a line, kept walking around the room, looking preoccupied.

The door opened, and a young man of twenty-three or fourteen years old walked in, the man was tall and thin, holding a pot of steaming wine in both hands, and said, "Master, the wine you want is hot." ”

"Jiulang, put it on the table." The old man walked to the table, just sat down and sighed involuntarily, "Alas".

Kenkuro put the wine on the table and stayed quietly aside.

"Alas" The old man sighed again, looked at Jian Jiulang beside him, looked at each other, and after a long time, the old man smiled bitterly: "Jiulang, aren't you curious why the old man is upset?" ”

Jian Jiulang said: "Even the master feels upset about the trouble, I asked if I asked for trouble." ”

The old man poured two glasses of wine and said, "Jiulang, let's drink one." After speaking, the two of them picked up the wine glass and drank it all. The old man smiled and said, "Jiulang, you are good at everything, but you don't like to talk to people, this has to be changed." ”

Jian Jiulang said: "I can't change it!"

The old man hated iron and said: "Look at you, what a stinky temper, the old man is upset about this." ”

Jian Jiulang was speechless and said, "Then I can't help it." ”

The old man said: "Your Uncle Murong didn't come as promised in this competition, and he didn't let people send a message, I'm very worried about whether there was an accident." ”

Jian Jiulang said: "There is no need to worry, Senior Uncle Murong and you are both the four masters in the world, how can there be any accidents, there must be something delayed." ”

The old man shook his head and said: "No, twenty years ago, the four of us made an appointment on the fifteenth day of the first month after twenty years, and the top of the Tianshan Mountain will come to compete again, if we can't come in person, we will definitely let someone come on our behalf, but this year we waited for him at the top of the Tianshan Mountain for ten days, and we didn't see anyone, something must have happened." ”

Jian Jiulang was puzzled: "It turns out that you are worried about Senior Uncle Murong, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with my personality, right?" ”

The old man said: "Why doesn't it matter, I want you to go to the Central Plains to inquire about the whereabouts of Senior Brother Murong and see what is going on, why didn't you come to the appointment?" But with your character, you never deal with strangers, and it seems that it is useless to go, so you are upset. ”

Kenkuro nodded and said, "It seems to have something to do with it, but you can go by yourself." ”

The old man glared at Jian Jiulang, very helpless, poured a glass of wine casually, tasted it slowly, his eyes were in a trance as if he remembered something from the past, and said with a long sigh of relief: "When I was young, I once swore a heavy oath that I would not go to the Central Plains for the rest of my life. ”

Jian Jiulang's face changed slightly: "I'm sorry, master!" ”

The old man waved his hand, but did not speak, and the room fell silent all of a sudden.

Jian Jiulang pondered for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Central Plains." ”

The old man frowned and said, "Okay, you?" ”

Jian Jiulang said: "Okay! ”

The old man asked, "Then you went to the Central Plains, how can you find out about your Uncle Murong's whereabouts?" ”

"I..." Ken Jiulang hesitated for a long time, and he didn't know what to do, so he couldn't help but lower his head, his heart full of shame.

"Idiot!" The old man blamed himself: "It's all to blame the old man for not teaching well, it's my fault!" ”

With a "poof", Jian Jiulang knelt on the ground and said: "How can I blame the master, I am stupid, if it weren't for the master, I would have starved to death on the side of the road." ”

The old man picked up Jian Jiulang and said: "As the saying goes, the son does not teach the father and the son, you have followed me since childhood, we have long been like the father and son, you follow me all year round to practice martial arts, except for the old man, there is no partner of the same age, the old man had a knot in his heart at that time, and he was silent all day long, causing you to be silent now, how can it not be my fault!" ”

Jian Jiulang seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and said with a straight face: "Master, I must find Uncle Murong and ask the reason, please rest assured." ”

The old man was quite happy and said: "The old man believes that as long as you make up your mind, there is nothing in this world that you can't do, who called you my Fu Qingping's apprentice, haha..." ”

Jian Jiulang said: "Uncle Murong is one of the four masters in the world, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes is skyrocketing, no one knows who doesn't know, find a few people to investigate, and it shouldn't be difficult to find Uncle Murong's whereabouts." ”

Fu Qingping shook his head and said, "Jiulang, when you go to the Central Plains, don't let others know that Murong Ming is your uncle, otherwise a big disaster will come." ”

Kenkuro was puzzled: "Why? ”

Fu Qingping sighed: "In the early years, your Senior Uncle Murong had just debuted, and his murderous intent was too heavy, and there were countless people who died at his hands in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, resulting in enemies everywhere, and he was called a blood demon by the people of the rivers and lakes. However, your Uncle Murong is strong in martial arts, and others have no way to take him, but the heart of revenge will not change, but he just didn't find the opportunity. ”

Jian Jiulang was shocked and said, "Senior Uncle Murong is in such a dangerous situation, why don't you come here to live with us?" ”

Fu Qingping said with a smile: "Your Senior Uncle Murong has a very high self-esteem, how could he do such a thing, there is really an accident, it must be his self-esteem that harmed him." If he is bent on escaping, I am sure that no one in the world will be able to catch him. ”

After taking a sip of wine, Fu Qingping continued: "Twenty years ago, the four of us competed on the top of the Tianshan Mountain, and Senior Brother Murong told me that he married a female disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace and had a daughter, so he withdrew from the rivers and lakes and lived in seclusion. So when you inquire about the news, you must pay attention. ”

Jian Jiulang said: "Don't worry, your apprentice is not a fool!" ”

Fu Qingping said with a smile: "I know you are smart and tight, but you are not good at talking." You have learned nine times out of ten in my martial arts, all you owe is fire, and there should be few opponents on the rivers and lakes. ”

Kenkuro smiled triumphantly.

Fu Qingping said with a solemn face: "Jianghu martial arts are not as calm as the mountain village where we live, it is full of blood and rain, and if you are not careful, you may become a pile of white bones." I'm just looking for you, Uncle Murong, keep a low profile and try not to make enemies with others, don't trust others, only yourself is the only one who believes and is reliable, remember! ”

Jian Jiulang said solemnly: "Remember." ”

Fu Qingping took out a black heavy sword from the room, handed it over, and said, "This phantom will be passed to you today, I hope you don't insult it!" ”

Jian Jiulang solemnly took the heavy sword phantom and said, "Master rest assured! ”

Fu Qingping said with a smile: "Jiulang, whether there is news of your uncle or not, I will come back in a year." ”

Kenkuro nodded.

"Come, accompany the old man to have a good drink, and it should be practiced for you!"
