Master Huang sent Li Anmin away, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. He moved his bloated body, humming a small tune in his mouth, and slowly put the sword blank into the furnace.

"Three more days of recuperation, and you're done." Master Huang was ecstatic, and his eyes were full of light when he looked at the sword blank.

"Tielang, you're in too much of a hurry."

Suddenly, a shrill voice came from the darkness.

Master Huang was instantly shocked when he heard a familiar voice behind him. In a panic, he turned around and headed towards the darkest corner of the Refining Pavilion. The big round face trembled, and the teeth couldn't stop shaking.

It was a voice all too familiar to him.

A tall figure walked out of the shadows, and I saw the man straightening up, holding a dark yellow ring ruler in his hand.

"You three bitter bees have followed me for many years, but the old man has been hiding for sixteen years, and you have forgotten the old man's methods!"

Master Huang knelt on the ground with a plop, bowed to the man with a frightened face, and said respectfully, "Subordinates, meet the queen bee!" Subordinate, don't dare! ”

....

Li Anmin didn't know anything about the mysterious old man who suddenly appeared in the refining pavilion.

At this moment, he had just returned to the guest room of the Iron Camp, and his expression was still a little complicated. On the way back to the room, he was thinking repeatedly, the road ahead was long, confused and full of thorns, he was not afraid of hardship and did not spare his life, but he was afraid that he was incompetent and could not protect the people he wanted to protect.

As soon as I walked in the door, I saw a lunch box neatly placed on the table. Li Anmin stepped forward with a surprised look on his face and found a note pressed under the lunch box. There were only two short words on the note: There is me.

When Li Anmin saw this Xiujuan's Xiaokai, he knew that it was written by Hongying. Thinking of Hongying's delicate face, Li Anmin smiled heartily, blew out the light after exhausting the food on the table, and fell asleep on the couch.

Where there is the sun and the moon in the iron camp built underground, when the lights are blown out, it will be eternal darkness.

"Li'er, Li'er."

Li Anmin heard a call for a while, he opened his eyes and saw the high wall of the compound again, and saw a dark and handsome young man calling to him. The young man was dressed in a brocade robe, about seven or eight years old, and his eyes were pampered when he looked at him.

Suddenly, a tingling pain struck, and Li Anmin woke up suddenly.

"I'm dreaming again." Li Anmin recalled the dream that seemed to be real and illusory, and couldn't help muttering to himself, this was the second time he had dreamed of that compound. The first time was more than a month ago, in Xuanque City, he attracted the aura vortex.

Hearing the noise outside, Li Anmin took advantage of the light outside the room to light the lamp in the room again.

"I don't know how Master Huang endured this crypt." Li Anmin only felt depressed, and the longer he stayed in the Iron Camp, the stronger the sense of restraint became.

After a simple wash, Li Anmin found the red tassel. They decided to return to the third camp today, and before leaving, he decided to temporarily settle Liuying in the medical workshop Xia Yanxi, but before leaving, he wanted to go to the medical workshop again and inform his sister.

Hongying happily agreed, so the two walked side by side towards the medical workshop.

"Why can Xuanquewei choose a place to live in that basin, but the medical workshop and the iron camp should be crowded in the crypt?" Li Anmin was puzzled, so he asked out loud.

"Xuanque Hall is divided into inner hall and outer hall. The inner hall is the basin, and the outer hall is the crypt of your mouth. The inner hall is small and divided by the Xuantang and the Bird Hall. Whether it is the students of Xuantang or the various teams of Bird Hall, they all need a place to live. What's more, Xuantang has more cultivation venues, while Bird Hall needs a squad school field, so there are not many places left to build camps. Hongying looked at Li Anmin, and after seeing his puzzled look, Hongying smiled and continued: "Naturally, there are not many venues left for the branch battalions, only three. Therefore, Grandpa ordered that every three years each branch camp compete in martial arts, and the top three winners can camp in the Xuanque Inner Hall. ”

"Tournament?" Li Anmin was surprised.

"Yes, that contest is also known as the Great Camp Competition. The Iron Camp is extremely dependent on the fire of the center of the earth, so it is dismissive of the camp and never participates. Then Hongying frowned and continued: "Auntie's medical workshop is full of weak female medical officers, although Auntie is a Wendao monk who has awakened her talent, but she has no ability to fight, and she has no choice but to withdraw from the hall camp. ”

"And the Xuanque Wei selected some monks with insufficient talent from the Xuantang, they were not qualified to join the Xuanque Hall, and they were unwilling to serve in the five armies, so they had to reduce their heads and drill into the Xuanquewei. But they are all monks, and their overall strength is stronger than ordinary people, so they can occupy the top three every year. ”

At the mention of Xuanque Wei, a trace of contempt flashed on Hongying's face, and he continued: "As a monk, even if your talent is worse, you are stronger than ordinary monks, but everyone in Xuanquewei is arrogant and arrogant, and they don't want to be with the soldiers, but I think they are afraid of death and dare not fight on the battlefield." ”

Li Anmin nodded silently and continued to ask, "Who are the top three now?" ”

"The third place is the Huotou Battalion, they are responsible for cooking meals for the monks in the Xuanque Hall, it is estimated that they are secretly eating, all of them have big shoulders and round waists. The second place is the Xuanque Guard. Hong Ying paused for a moment and continued: "The strongest is the hidden camp, the battalion is as its name suggests, and all the soldiers in the battalion have hidden identities and are very hidden. They are even more low-key than the Iron Battalion, and they can only be seen at the Camp Tournament every three years. However, in a few big competitions, they only sent the same person, often with a single sword to cut down the Xuanque Guard camp. ”

Li Anmin nodded silently and memorized the name of the hidden camp in his heart.

Soon, they rushed to the medical clinic.

The second time he came, Li Anmin was already very familiar with the medical workshop. He and Hongying nodded to the women's medical hall, and walked straight towards the inside of the medical room.

"Ah, big brother, you're here."

Before Li Anmin walked in the door, he heard Liuying's cry of surprise.

I saw that there were still a little tears in the corners of her eyes, and after seeing Li Anmin, the little girl rushed towards Li Anmin with a happy face.

Li Anmin hugged the flowing firefly lying in his arms, nodded and smiled at Xia Yanxi.

Hongying also nodded to Xia Yanxi, then walked in front of the two brothers and sisters, stretched out her hand to stroke Liuying's little head, curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Liuying's little girl has no conscience, she only saw your wooden brother, but she didn't see her Hongying sister." ”

"Hehe, Liuying naturally saw Sister Hongying." Liuying looked at Hongying and smiled shyly, and also ran over and hugged Hongying.

Red Ying snorted out laughing and hugged the fluttering fireflies in her arms. Her heart was full of sympathy and worry for what happened to the little girl, but in order to create a relatively relaxed atmosphere for the little girl, she had to pretend to smile easily.

Liuying got out of Hongying's arms and said to Hongying and Xia Yanxi: "Sister Hongying, Aunt Xia, I have something I want to say to my brother alone, can I borrow your inner hall for use." ”

Hongying and Xia Yanxi were stunned when they heard this, and glanced at each other, only to feel that the little girl had something in her heart that she needed to talk to her brother.

"Hmph, I treat you like a sister, and you still need to carry me behind your back when talking to your brother at this moment." Hongying pretended to be angry and said angrily.

"Sister Hongying is the best, Liuying is looking forward to the day when she will change her name to Sister-in-law Hongying." Liuying's eyes rolled, and she looked at the red tassel and said with a sweet smile.

Hearing Liuying's words, Xia Yanxi couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Hongying.

Hongying's face flushed with shame, glanced at Li Anmin, and then said: "It's still Sister Liuying who can speak, if your wooden brother has the same enlightenment as you, I don't have to be so sad." Yes, there is no need for an inner hall, just the two of us go out first. ”

Li Anmin watched Hongying and Xia Yanxi walk out of the room with a blank face, then looked at Liuying, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Ying raised her head and looked at Li Anmin, and said in a serious and soft voice: "Brother, I saw my father last night." ”

"See Daddy? What did he say and where is it now? Li Anmin was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"Well, I didn't really see it, but I felt the smell of Daddy." Liuying froze for a moment when she heard this, and then she took out a golden longevity lock from the placket on her chest, and said to Li Anmin: "When I woke up today, I found this longevity lock, big brother, you have to believe me, I felt the smell of my father last night." Like when I was sick as a child, my dad stayed by my side all night last night, so I slept peacefully. ”

Liuying looked at Li Anmin with a sincere face, and her big eyes were faintly moist.

Li Anmin looked at the longevity lock, the longevity lock was very small, and the dark golden light was faintly circulating. He reached out and touched it, and instantly felt a tingling pain in his body, just like when he had committed a strange illness when he was young. The young man was shocked, and he knew that this longevity lock must be extraordinary.

"Is there any discomfort with wearing this longevity lock?" Li Anmin was worried about the safety of the little girl, and asked repeatedly.

Liuying shook her head and said to her brother with a frightened face, "It's very comfortable, it seems to be the sun in the cold winter, it's very warm." ”

Li Anmin was relieved when he heard this, he remembered what Master Huang said that Daddy's previous trip to the Di clan was to solve the Yin Qi in Liuying's body, so he squatted down and tidied up his clothes for Liuying, and said softly: "Daddy didn't show up, naturally there is a reason for him." When he came to see you last night, it means that Daddy is always thinking about us. Liuying is good, stay in the medical workshop for a while, and wait for the eldest brother to pass the recruit election in Xuanque Hall in five days, and then come to accompany you. Only when the eldest brother is strong enough can he solve the yin qi in your body. ”

Hearing her brother's words, a little tear instantly welled up in Liuying's eyes, but the little girl knew that the eldest brother was afraid that he would not have time to be distracted at the moment. Liuying desperately squeezed out a smile, and said sweetly to Li Anmin: "Brother, don't worry, Liuying must be obedient here with Aunt Xia, and obediently wait for my brother to take Liuying home." ”

Watching the little girl's tears roll down drop by drop, Li Anmin's heart swelled with bitterness. Although his heart was sour, in order to avoid increasing Hotaru's worries, he didn't show the slightest weakness in front of his sister.

Li Anmin just hugged the little girl and was silent.
