Looking at the kind old man in front of him, Guo Xiu really couldn't match this face with anyone in his memory, he really didn't know why the other party saw him as if he was a relative.

"Well, cough ......" Qin Yan coughed with his mouth closed, breaking the awkward silence, and turned his head to Guo Xiu and said, "It was this old man who saved you last night." ”

Guo Xiu raised his head in surprise and carefully looked at the other party from top to bottom. With a white coat, gray hair, no beard, and a dense wrinkle on his face that is characteristic of an old man, everything looks so ordinary.

Respectfully arching his hand, Guo corrected and said: "I first thanked the old gentleman for his help, but ......" The look on his face was a little puzzled: "I don't know if you are here, is there something going on?" ”

Qin Yan also looked at the old man questioningly, she also felt very strange about this, so she hoped that the old man could give a reasonable answer.

"I really didn't expect it......" The old man didn't pay attention to Qin Yan's eyes, his face showed inexplicable surprise, and he asked Guo Xiu: "Excuse me, little brother, are you a martial artist?" ”

Guo Xiu and Qin Yan glanced at each other, a little puzzled why the old man asked this, but they still answered truthfully: "Yes, I am a martial artist. ”

"Then ......" the old man's voice trembled a little, and his face revealed a hint of self-suppressed excitement, "You must not be thirty years old now, right?" ”

Guo Xiu suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, spread his hands and said, "Do you always see that I am so mature?" ”

"That's great!" The old man shouted in surprise, and suddenly stepped forward in three steps and two steps. Guo Xiu was taken aback by the old man's sudden movements, and Qin Yan was also alertly prepared for defense, ready to strike at any time. Before Guo Xiu and the others could react, the old man had already bent down and bowed deeply to him. "Please look at the face of the old man yesterday, please help me once!"

"You can't do that!" Guo Xiu was taken aback by the old man's behavior, and at the same time, he was confused, and hurriedly reached out to help him up. But the old man still stubbornly lowered his head and bent over, and said freely: "If you don't help me, I won't get up!" ”

Qin Yan looked at all this thoughtfully, and suddenly patted Guo Xiu's shoulder, his lips moving silently: "Promise him!" ”

Yes? Guo Xiu was a little confused, whether it was because of these two people or because of his own reasons, how did he feel that this plot was unfolding a little faster. But in the current situation, there is only this one way, Guo Xiu is ruthless, the big deal is that he was falsely accused, and the bad guy also saved his life: "Okay, I promise you, you can get up first."

"Really?" The old man raised his head tremblingly, and for a moment he cried with joy, "Our pie is finally hopeful......" As he spoke, the old man's tears moistened his eyes, and he couldn't help crying.

Guo Xiu hurriedly took the opportunity to take it out, looked at the old man in front of him who was covered with tears on his beard, and said helplessly: "You can tell me what the hell is going on now, right?" ”

The old man stabilized his mood for a while, and after a long pause, he let out a long sigh and said, "Eh, this is fate, I really don't want the inheritance of my sect to be broken in my hands." ”

As soon as Guo Xiu heard this, he immediately knew that there must be a very long story behind. Sure enough, the old man slowly began to recall, while Guo Xiu and Qin Yan listened carefully on the side.

It turned out that the old man's name was An Mingshi, and he was the contemporary head of a sect known as the Medicine King Sect. Although he is nominally the head, An Lao knows nothing about martial arts. Because the martial arts secrets of the Medicine King Sect itself have long been lost in the war, until An Lao's master is left, there is only a superb medical inheritance left.

Although there is a proverb in the martial arts that "if you don't pass on the medicine, you will hang yourself when you go out", which is used to illustrate the importance of medicine to the martial arts, but there is only medical skills and no martial arts, which cannot be regarded as a martial arts sect at all. An Lao originally just wanted to be a doctor for the rest of his life, and he didn't care about this. And since he was a child, An Lao has never seen a few martial artists who can really fight, and in his heart, he actually has doubts about whether there are any martial artists who have entered the ranks.

Even An Lao's only apprentice is just an ordinary doctor. Qin Yan thought of the middle-aged man who respectfully followed An Lao yesterday, nodded lightly, and then asked, "I smashed the glass with your slap yesterday, why didn't you come to me?" ”

An Lao rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, and said, "There is no way to judge a martial artist in the master for a long time, and I am also pure blind today." And I don't think it's that hard to break glass, didn't I expect it......"

Qin Yan waved his hand speechlessly, signaling An Lao to continue talking, with the martial arts inheritance of this Medicine King Sect, there is really "a little bit" left.

If this continues, the life of the elderly will be very peaceful. Until that day, a man came to visit out of the blue.

"Is that a warrior?" Guo Xiu asked first, and he probably guessed what was about to happen next.

An Lao sighed bitterly and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it's just a martial artist." ”

When An Lao was sweeping the tomb of his master in Changbai Mountain, he came directly to the door and handed over the post, inviting the medicine king to send the current head of the sect to participate in the eleven provincial capitals and rearrange the martial arts seats.

The so-called eleven provinces are Longjiang Province, Daxing Province, Liaodong Province, Henan Province, Hebei Province, Mengyuan Province, Ludong Province, Jinxi Province, Xishan Province, Longsu Province, and Huining Province. The scope basically covers the entire northern martial arts world, and it can be regarded as a formal event.

"Eleven provincial capitals?" Guo Xiu repeated the word incredulously, and turned his head to look at Qin Yan on the side, "There is still this thing?" What age are they? ”

Qin Yan didn't seem too surprised, obviously he had known about this thing for a long time, and explained to Guo Xiu very calmly: "As long as there are martial artists, there will be battles, this is not strange. Fighting in the ring is generally the most direct way to resolve disputes, especially for these warriors with extremely destructive power. ”

Guo Xiu smacked his lips, feeling a little dreamy, this kind of thing that seemed to exist only in a novel suddenly appeared in front of him, and he had to have a slow acceptance process. But soon he figured it out, wasn't his competition last night similar to this, but the so-called eleven provincial capitals were larger in scale and more bluffing.

"That's right, you just don't go. Anyway, your sect's martial arts inheritance has been broken, and it's useless to go. Guo Xiu spread his hands, and he really couldn't understand why the old man was entangled because of this.

"But......" the old man smiled bitterly and explained, "That person said that if he didn't send someone to participate, then the name of the Medicine King Sect would be eliminated, and the eleven provinces and hundred sects who participated in this time would not recognize the existence of the Medicine King Sect in the future." My lineage has been inherited for nearly a thousand years since the Song Dynasty, how can it be broken in my hands? ”

Guo Xiu was surprised, and probably knew what the old man meant, and said: "So, what you think about is ......" Qin Yan said: "...... We want us to help you fight this one! ”

An Lao nodded, and looked at Guo Xiu with some expectation: "I don't know what you think, young man?" ”

Guo Xiu is a little embarrassed now, but it seems very bad to regret it immediately after agreeing to others, so he has to try to struggle: "An Lao, you don't look at what I am capable of, what if I lose?" ”

An Lao waved his hand and said with relief: "I think you can do it, and the man said that the people who participated in the competition this time are all young masters of various sects, and their age is generally not more than thirty-five years old, no matter how powerful they are, how powerful can they be?" An Lao patted Guo Xiu's shoulder, and continued: "According to them, this time a [Hidden Sword List] will be arranged for the heroes who are finally ranked in the top 100 in the ring, and there will be very generous rewards at that time!" ”

An Lao still didn't think it was enough, and continued to promise Guo Xiu: "I don't want you to enter any ranking this time, I just need to keep the name of my Medicine King Sect." As long as you go, when you come back, all the medicines in your life will be guaranteed by our Medicine King Sect! Although the inheritance of martial arts in our faction is lost, the inheritance of medical skills is very complete, and the methods such as martial arts refining and removing injuries are very complete! ”

Guo Xiu's eyes showed a fine light, and he was really a little moved. It can be passed down from the Song Dynasty to the present, and yesterday he was relieved of his injuries with only a few injections, there is no doubt about the strength of An Lao's medical skills. And with the increase of his level in the future, it is inevitable that he will be injured in battle, and with such a reliable doctor, his life can also be greatly guaranteed.

"Okay, I promise you!" Guo Xiu made up his mind and stopped dragging it out, and immediately agreed to An Lao's request very happily, "I don't know when this eleventh provincial capital will be held." ”

An Lao stroked his beard happily, and said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, you have to wait until the wax moon, you can leave me a contact information, and I will call you when the time comes." ”

Guo Xiu nodded, gave An Lao his phone number, and said to him: "If you can't contact me, you can find Sister Qin Yan, she will definitely be able to find me." ”

"Good, good!" An Lao smiled and also wrote down Qin Yan's contact information, and his wrinkled face was full of heartfelt joy.

Guo Xiu quietly asked in Qin Yan's ear, "Did you already know about this?" He just urged me to say yes. ”

Qin Yan didn't hide it, and nodded: "This is also good for you to enter the dragon head, that [Tibetan Sword List] is the best reward for you from many northern martial arts people, if you can occupy a place on it, it will be very good, and your reputation will also be greatly improved!" ”

Guo Xiu raised his eyes and asked Qin Yan suspiciously, "It's so good, then why don't you participate?" ”

Qin Yan glanced at Guo Xiu and said with a slight smile: "The last time the [Hidden Sword List] was five years ago, I was ranked fifty-sixth. ”

Guo Xiu glanced at her in surprise and said in surprise: "Your cultivation is only ranked in more than fifty?" Kid me, huh? ”

Qin Yan shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Guo Xiu meaningfully: "Some sects have a deep foundation, don't underestimate the heroes of the world." Otherwise, you will suffer bitterly. ”

Guo Xiu immediately took this advice to heart, it seems that this so-called eleven provincial capital is not as easy as he imagined.
