What do you mean?"

The young man frowned.

Dongfang Shuo smiled: "Don't you know what I mean? I said, the Qiu family does not exist at all. ”

"Ha, joke, you said that the heads of the four great families don't exist? This is really the funniest joke ever!"

Youth Road.

Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes: "If the Qiu family exists, why do you want to close the door? If the Qiu family exists, why do you want to build a high courtyard wall? If the Qiu family exists, why do you stop me from finding out?" He paused, "Doesn't everything point to one result, that is, ......"

"You're really whimsical. The young man sneered, "Could it be that you came here for such a boring conjecture?"

"Boring conjectures?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The young man said, "If that's the case, I, who was sent to stop you, am really stupid." ”

Squinting his eyes, Dongfang Shuo said, "Really, I think so too." ”

With that, he turned his head and looked at the wall behind him.

Seeing that he had put on a posture of wanting to break into the high wall, the young man immediately stared at him, and was ready to move forward to stop him.

Temple!

But at that moment, a sharp sword stabbed straight from behind him, but it didn't hurt him in the slightest, only about an inch in front of his neck, and finally landed on his shoulder.

At this moment, if he took another step forward, he would be wounded by the blade.

The young man turned his head slightly, but he didn't dare to move too much.

And at the same time as he turned around, the figure that suddenly came out of the sword behind him also took two steps forward.

The sword was still on the young man's neck, but the young man had already seen the man who had drawn the sword.

For a moment, his eyes widened and his pupils narrowed.

In front of him at this moment was the exact same person as the man a few feet in front of him.

Exactly the same face, exactly the same height and body type.

Even the clothes make no difference.

Even the breath is ......

It's not so much a twin as a doppelganger.

"I guess you're right," Dongfang Shuo, who was holding the sword, laughed, "I am indeed his doppelganger." ”

"This ...... What kind of sorcery is this?!"

The youth was shocked.

But when he looked at the Dongfang Shuo body, Dongfang Shuo had already jumped and landed on the high courtyard wall in one step.

After standing still, Dongfang Shuo paused, then glanced back at his clone and the young man.

But after just such a glance, Dongfang Shuo took another step forward and jumped into the courtyard wall.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo's clone holding the sword looked curiously at the young man beside him: "What is in there?"

The young man looked at him.

"There...... It's ......"

......

Nothing.

Dongfang Shuo's eyes were empty.

As far as the eye can see, it is flat.

Within a mile of the entire courtyard wall, there was nothing but a few trees beside him that had grown out of the courtyard wall, and a few lanterns that were still lit next to the trees.

But if anything, it is.

Dongfang Shuo looked up, and there was a chair in the middle of the entire compound, or in the middle of this flat land.

On the chair sat an old man who looked like he was about to die.

The old man's eyes were cloudy, as if he was staring at Dongfang Shuo, and as if he was staring elsewhere.

"Are all young people as reckless as you are, young people?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the direction of the old man.

But the old man's white and long beard was in front of his mouth, so Dongfang Shuo couldn't see him open his mouth.

"I don't think that's reckless. ”

Dongfang Shuo answered the old man's words and walked in the direction of the old man.

But just when the distance between Dongfang Shuo and the old man was only the last thirty zhang, Dongfang Shuo's soles suddenly couldn't move.

It was an inexplicable force suddenly on the earth, and this force pulled Dongfang Shuo's feet, so that the soles of his feet could not leave the ground at all.

After a few attempts, Dongfang Shuo gave up.

"Does the old gentleman want to keep me?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The old man asked rhetorically, "Aren't you afraid?"

"If you die, it's sooner or later, and it's useless to be afraid. Dongfang Shuo said, "If you can't die, then there is no need to be afraid." ”

"Are young people like you nowadays?"

"How long has it been since the old gentleman has been out, why is he 'young man now'?"

"Do you think I can go out and walk around?"

The old man's face seemed to be smiling, but there was no hint of laughter in his voice.

Dongfang Shuo looked at him and said, "But no matter what, I think the old gentleman doesn't seem to be very sensible, there are no two people in this world who are exactly the same, let alone a young man who is exactly the same." ”

"It's the old man who is stupid," said the old man, "but, young man, what the man outside the door said is not wrong, curiosity kills the cat." ”

"I saw that the old gentleman was not in good health, but I didn't expect his ears to be very good. ”

"My old bones are all that I have ears. ”

"So who is the old gentleman?"

"Young man, you just said that there is no one in this Qiu Mansion, and now you should understand that you are wrong. ”

"So, the old gentleman's surname is Qiu?"

"Yes. ”

"But I don't seem to be wrong, but there is nothing in the huge Qiu Mansion, only a few trees, a few lamps, a chair and an old gentleman. ”

"As long as my old bones are still there, then there will still be people in the Qiu family. ”

The old man said.

Dongfang Shuo nodded.

So, he stopped struggling, because he couldn't move his feet for the time being, so he sat down on the spot.

"So, only the old gentleman is guarding the Qiu family alone?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

The old man nodded: "Yes." ”

"Then I'm curious. ”

"What are you curious about?"

"How did the old gentleman alone hold up the façade of the head of the four major families in the imperial city?"

"Hahahaha. ”

"What is the old gentleman laughing at?"

"I thought you, a calm little boy, would have something to say, but I didn't want to ask such a boring question. ”

"Is that a boring question? But I do want to know. ”

"Looking at Xuzhou, which place is not respected by martial arts, and which corner is not the fist is big?"

"So, the old gentleman is a great power?"

"The world doesn't dare to be. ”

"The old gentleman is modest, the old gentleman's strength should not be bad, right?"

"You're young, but you're not bad compared to you. ”

"So, the old gentleman wants to keep me?"

"That's nature," the old man's face showed a smile again, "Otherwise, wouldn't the Qiu family become a place for sightseeing?"

"The old gentleman is really hospitable. ”

"Don't dare to be hospitable, after all, it's your own choice. ”

"Yes? ”

Dongfang Shuo smiled, but he didn't mean to get up.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I've already answered. ”

"Your little doll is so funny, but I can't bear it. ”

"It's not funny, but I'm sure the old gentleman will let me go unscathed. ”

"Then you look down on me, young man. ”

"The old gentleman has misestimated me," Dongfang Shuo said, "If I say that I am here to help the old gentleman get out of trouble, how does the old gentleman feel?"
