Rain cats and dogs.

Liu Meng stood in place in this way against the storm, letting the pouring rain wash over his body, but he didn't move. His eyes were fixed on the dark green bronze sword on the ground.

Because, this bronze sword is simply familiar to him.

Crackling!

In the dark sky, a blinding thunderbolt suddenly flashed. The seemingly old bronze sword also reflected a terrifying chill.

The rumbling thunder and the familiar bronze sword in front of him couldn't help but make Liu Meng's memory, which had long been sealed in the depths of his mind, emerge again:

It was a stormy night decades ago.

At that time, Liu Meng had just turned eighteen years old. The face is green but young and vigorous. And Liu Xing has long passed the age of not being confused.

The elderly father called Liu Xing and Liu Meng, the brothers, to the study in the courtyard of the family.

Liu's father sat cross-legged with fragrant tea in his hand, and on the small table in front of him, there was a rusty bronze sword.

Needless to say, this is definitely a superb cold weapon.

"Xing'er, Meng'er. I've already looked for the seniors of the ancestral hall to see the faces. In the next 10 years, my deadline is coming! Father Liu played with the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand and said indifferently.

"Huh? Father! The two brothers knelt on the ground at the same time, their faces sad.

"It doesn't have to be this way!" Father Liu waved his hand and said, "In my life, I am obsessed with martial arts. There are more than 300 people who have fought against life and death opponents. Every one of them is a vicious battle of life and death. Many times, it was a near-death injury. At the same time, there are also a lot of root causes. God can let me live another ten years, that's enough! ”

"Father, the words of the ancestors of the ancestral hall are not absolute. Tomorrow I will go to the best doctor in Yanjing City, no, the best doctor in all of China. Liu Xing stood up, clenched his fists and said.

"I'll look for it too." The young Liu Meng also stood up and scrambled to pat his chest.

Father Liu smiled happily and said, "Raising a child can be like this." I die without regrets. ”

The two brothers were about to say something, but were stopped by Liu's father.

"Now that the Mandate of Heaven is known. Then, I can no longer hold on to the family heirloom sword, the history of this bronze sword can be traced back to a thousand years ago. I think it was also a sword that sharpened iron like clay and broke hair. However, it is a pity that it has been soaked in blood for many years, and the rust on it has never been removed. Fortunately, this does not affect the sharpness of this sword. Father Liu put down the tea cup in his hand, picked up the bronze sword lovingly, and gently picked up a handful of white cloth to wipe it, as if he was saying goodbye to his old friend for many years.

Liu Xing heard this, but his brows were deep. But there was a hint of joy and longing in Liu Meng's eyes that could not be concealed.

Although Liu's father did not raise his head, the subtle expressions and movements of the two brothers could not escape his eyes at all.

"Tonight, then, I solemnly pass on this heirloom sword to one of your brothers. Of course, for the sake of fairness, the other person will get all of our family's property. Father Liu indifferently put down the sword in his hand and looked at the two brothers with a serious expression.

That being said, in front of the three father and son who are obsessed with martial arts, how can Wanguan's family property be compared to a superb sword. Father Liu's decision was just to comfort the person who didn't get the sword.

"Before I make up my mind. I'd like to hear what you two really think. Father Liu raised his head and looked at the two brothers with a torch-like gaze.

"Luck! You're the boss, you speak first. Father Liu pointed at Liu Xing.

"Yes! Father! Liu Xing nodded respectfully and said without hesitation: "Since I am the eldest son." In everything, you must consider the feelings of your family first. Father, I want to let Mengdi choose first. Whatever he chooses, I have no opinion. ”

"Is this what you really think?" Father Liu asked with a squint.

"Yes! Father! Liu Xing said frankly.

"Good! However, it is up to me to decide who the sword will pass on, not you. Father Liu looked at the widow of his late ex-wife with satisfaction.

Although Liu Xing and Liu Meng were not born to the same mother, Liu Xing's demeanor as the eldest son and eldest brother really pleased Liu's father.

"Now it's your turn. Meng'er! Father Liu turned his head, looked at Liu Meng and said. Liu's father's first wife, that is, Liu Xing's mother, died early, so Liu's father continued to marry his current wife when Liu Xing was very young, and after that, he had Liu Meng.

"Yes! Father! Liu Meng nodded respectfully, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The eldest brother is now past the age of confusion, and he should also find me a sister-in-law." I think my father will give all the family property to my eldest brother, so that my eldest brother can choose a favorite sister-in-law. And I, as long as this sword can walk all over the world with a sword, it is enough. ”

As he spoke, Liu Meng's eyes burned, and he didn't want to take his eyes off the bronze sword for a moment.

Liu Meng's expressions naturally couldn't escape Liu's father's eyes. He sighed secretly, but said with a similar expression: "It's okay, Meng'er can think about the eldest brother first." You've grown up too. ”

After hearing this, Liu Meng's eyebrows clearly showed a fleeting look of pride.

"That's it! Now that both of you brothers have spoken their minds. Then it's time for me to announce to whom this sword will be passed on. When Liu's father spoke, his eyes were still staring at his two sons without blinking.

Liu Xing was as indifferent and quiet as ever, as if the sword fell to him had nothing to do with him. Liu Meng, on the other hand, couldn't hide his excitement and eagerness.

"Xing'er!" Father Liu pondered for a moment before suddenly speaking.

The two brothers were stunned.

"Xing'er, this family heirloom sword, from today onwards, will be at your disposal and safekeeping." Father Liu's words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in Liu Meng's mind.

"Father. However, Meng Di he" Liu Xing's face was full of surprise. He originally thought that the family heirloom sword would be passed on to Liu Meng.

Father Liu waved his hand and said, "You two brothers are both very accomplished in martial arts. In the near future, it is bound to surpass me. That's what I like to hear. However, Xing'er has a calm and calm personality, and is calm and calm in case of trouble, compared to the young and vigorous Meng'er, it is more suitable to keep this weapon that kills too much. ”

"On the contrary, Meng'er, you should ask your eldest brother for advice and learning. In case of trouble, remember to be reckless and impulsive, and not to be in a hurry for quick success and quick profit, and be too greedy. Although I did not pass on the sword to you, I will leave you a small share of our family's property. Liu's father comforted.

"Nope! Father, you are eccentric. Big brother didn't say he wanted a sword, why didn't you give me the sword? Liu Meng couldn't hold back any longer, and roared aggrievedly.
