Three or four hundred kilometers away from the Gobi, in Beidaihe, a famous northern coastal resort, Shen Yuan was slowly walking on a stone path by the sea. Sitting in a wheelchair was Liu Wen, who had a plaster cast on his calf, and the two of them were silent and didn't say anything, just slowly blowing the sea breeze and walking outside this old-looking public seaside health hotel.

Daozi followed the two people from a distance, still wearing a dark long-sleeved shirt in early summer, with his hands in his pockets and headphones on one ear quietly following the two people. In a room not far away, a cuttlefish sits in front of a floor-to-ceiling window with gauze wrapped around its head, a half-sized dark handbag on the table next to it, in addition to drinks and mobile phones, and in the next room, two new disciples are guarding the outer door.

Shen Yuan had been staying in this somewhat dilapidated looking sanatorium for two days, and on the way out of the Horqin Gobi Desert, Shen Budo couldn't help but spit out black blood! The whole person was shriveled and scared Shen Yuan half to death, and he wanted to rush back to the big hospital in Laosheng Capital overnight. was stopped by Liu Wen, Liu Wen checked Shen Budo's pulse, and listened to the breathing sound in Shen Budo's chest, thinking that it should be the shock injury caused by the violent close-range explosion. I'm afraid that the whole person's internal organs have been affected, and it is easy to leave sequelae when such an injury goes to Western medicine, just when Shen Yuan was anxious, Liu Wen proposed to ask the Five Immortals Sect for help!

Shen Yuan felt that his face was thick enough, although the relationship with the Five Immortals Sect seemed to be a little unnatural recently, but in order for Shen Budo to be able to recover his body intact and leave no hidden dangers, Shen Yuan immediately contacted the old man Hu Baoyi, and the old man answered the phone and immediately agreed! It turned out that the Fox Immortal family had already told Hu Baoyi and Shen Budo, a subordinate of the Jade Connoisseur, that kid was seriously injured, and if Shen Yuan asked for help, he would immediately arrange for someone to take him back to Tongyuan Fort for treatment!

Shen Yuan was a little dumbfounded, but he also reacted, it seems that the Fox Immortal family had already discovered that Shen Budo was seriously injured at the Great Black Temple. But he didn't say it to his face, but just warned Shen Yuan to hand over the real golden arrow to himself! With Shen Budo's injury now on the land outside the gate, it is the most perfect to hand it over to the Fox Immortal Family for treatment, if Shen Yuan asks for help, it is best to obediently hand over the Golden Arrow to the Five Immortal Sect.

In this regard, Shen Budo still wanted to hold on, but Shen Yuan handed him the golden arrow freely. Let him hand it over to the Fox Immortal Family, and as soon as he contacted him, the manpower of the Five Immortal Sect was actually waiting for Shen Yuan and his party at the highway intersection! Moreover, the car was already prepared with healing medicines and doctors from the Five Immortals Sect who were specifically responsible for healing. Seeing this, Shen Yuan simply stuffed Xiao Qi, who was not optimistic about his back injury, and after admonishing him, he simply took Liu Wen and a few cuttlefish to the beach two hundred kilometers away to avoid the limelight.

Liu Wen's foot was actually not lightly injured, and a bone had a crack. Shen Yuan definitely didn't allow her to go back to heal like this alone, and Liu Wen didn't want to go to the Five Immortals Sect for help because of this injury, so he simply went to the hospital and put on a plaster cast to rest and recover.

Shen Yuan contacted his parents just now, and two days ago, Shen Budo arranged for someone to take the two old people to Malaysia, nominally a trip abroad arranged by Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan's father was a little aware of it, but Shen Yuan's mother was holding a coconut and sighing endlessly with Shen Yuan in the video. Coming, my father said to Shen Yuan with a pun that the outside world is actually quite good, and it is good to have more conditions to go around, as long as the family is together, everything else is not important、、、、、、

After hanging up, Shen Yuan contacted the old man Shen again, and the old man swore to the sky to reassure Shen Yuan, the outer door would definitely take care of Shen Yuan's parents, and the old man had already found an opportunity to confess to Shen Yuan's father in the name of a distant relative of the Shen family. Shen Yuan's father tacitly agreed to this, and the old couple asked Mr. Shen to take his passport to help with the extension of his stay and settle down in Malaysia.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuan sighed, and silently pushed Liu Wen to take a walk in the sea breeze not far from the beach. After a while, Liu Wen said softly: "I envy you, you have brothers in life and death, and you have such a close family." ”

Shen Yuan replied: "There are as many worries and experiences as there is happiness, but I still can't see what I want to pursue!" Found the remains of Grandpa? Everbright Jade Connoisseur? Xuanyimen, Five Immortal Sects, Minzhulin、、、 what are they fighting for? What can I do inside? ”

Liu Wen smiled lightly: "If everyone in the world could know what they should do, then there wouldn't be so many disputes!" Now that you're a complete practitioner, you should think about it, what are the rivers and lakes of a cultivator? What exactly is the practitioner seeking? ”

Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes! In this way, they are so confused that they are separated from the broad masses of the people、、、、、、 fighting, killing, and even destroying 、、、 door."

Liu Wen suddenly turned his head and looked at Shen Yuan's eyes seriously, and Shen Yuan's next sentence was directly held in his mouth!

Liu Wen said coldly: "The rivers and lakes of cultivators have always been bloody, how can the so-called cultivators not be ordinary people who are countless times more powerful? I don't want you to distinguish between good and bad practitioners, but I don't want you to confuse all practitioners! To the Great Black Temple, you are the destroyer, and to the Skillful Gate? How are you not the Savior and the Presiding Over the Righteous! ”

Shen Yuan said: "I know! But I 、、、"

Liu Wen said softly: "You're scared!" In fact, you have been scared in your heart all along! Everyone understands 、、、 Shen Budo understands you! I understand you! In fact, even the Grand Lama of Minzhulin and the Fox Immortal Family, they all understand you! I don't know what the value of the Jade Connoisseur is worth all of them carefully fighting for you, or watching you to protect you, but do you think you can escape? ”

Shen Yuan shook his head: "I've also been thinking, what kind of ability do I have?" What was the old thirteen sects fighting for with the Xuanyi Sect back then? I've always had my goal to find out my grandfather's whereabouts and figure out the true face of the war! But this is a bit too ethereal, Old Man Shen and the Fox Immortal Family once said that my grandfather 、、、、、、 my grandfather fought for the world's qi! The people of the Thirteen Gates don't want to manipulate the fate of the people in the world to make a game, but I think it seems more absurd to inherit my grandfather's will and make enemies with some bullshit Xuanmen! ”

Liu Wen thought for a while and said softly: "Many times, this world is more like a game, maybe those high-ranking big people are afraid of the same thing as a beggar in the garbage heap, what do you say?" ”

Shen Yuan thought for a moment and replied: "I'm afraid it's really like this, the rich are worried about which female star to sleep with today!" The beggars are worried about whether they can see a few beautiful women on the street today, the rich and powerful are worried that the 'three highs' will affect their life expectancy, and those refugees are worried that they will starve to death tomorrow if they don't have anything to eat! Hahaha! ”

Liu Wen pursed his lips and said, "So, since you choose to get what you have now, you have to accept that you lose something because you get it." You have to know whether you approve or disapprove of the beliefs that your grandfather insisted on back then! If you approve, do what you want to do now! Get Strong! Find the truth, and then ask yourself what outcome you want to choose! As for the final ending、、、、、、 leave it to God! Isn't it good to live happily and without regrets? ”

Shen Yuan stopped and looked at the surging sea in the distance, the sun shining. Suddenly touched Liu Wen's long hair and said, "Thank you, Xiaowen, I know you deliberately stayed to relieve me." The incident of the Great Black Temple really caught me off guard、、、 I was really scared!

You're the first practitioner friend I've ever made on my own, and your words are very important to me. It's true! But I may still be afraid, afraid of death, afraid of affecting my family! Fear of losing everything you have, and maybe getting hot-headed because of what happens to those seemingly innocent! But I think I'm going to keep going, I'm going to pick up my missing grandfather, I want to know what kind of bureau Xuanyi wants to be under him! If my grandfather is right! I also want to try it and see if I can make my grandfather and grandfather proud of me under the Nine Springs! 、、、、、、 big deal, if we can't beat them, we'll escape!" Hahaha! ”

Liu Wen looked at Shen Yuan and laughed、、、 but when he turned his head, there was a deep sigh in his eyes、、、、、、 I can't beat him, can I really escape?" The ends of the earth in the eyes of ordinary people are probably just an understatement in the eyes of those who are really strong!

The two of them slowly left the path and walked towards the beach, the wheelchair was stuck in the sea sand, and Shen Yuan simply naughtily put a picked up plastic bag on the plaster on Liu Wen's feet! Supporting her to stand on the edge of the waves that surged up to blow the wind, the knife boy quietly walked over and stood behind the wheelchair, quietly looking at the two not far away.

Tourists gradually came to the beach, because the sanatorium is located in a relatively remote area, and it is an old state-owned unit, and the facilities are relatively old. Therefore, there are not many tourists in the whole sanatorium, and most of what Shen Yuan has seen in the past two days are retired elderly people who enjoy the benefits of the unit to recuperate, most of these old people are dressed plainly, and it can be seen that most of them are laborers engaged in grassroots work. But these old people seem quite optimistic, laughing most of the time, and never making a lot of noise and doing low-quality things. In order to have a good rest, Shen Yuan also chartered a full six rooms on the side of the third floor, and the past two days have indeed been quite comfortable.

Just when Shen Yuan was helping Liu Wen and gradually felt that the atmosphere was a little ambiguous, an older tourist walked over from afar. Shen Yuan felt that this little old man was a little familiar, and it seemed that he had seen it in the sanatorium today.

The old man was wearing an ordinary gray shirt and a pair of large khaki shorts that didn't go well with the shirt, and he was barefoot on the sand, and he was carrying a pair of old-fashioned sandals that looked a little old. Under the yellowed chemical fiber straw hat is a face with a lot of wrinkles, a cleanly shaved beard, and is looking at Shen Yuan and the others with a smile.

The old man seemed to be a retired old worker of a state-owned enterprise in a good mood, and he just wanted to say hello to Shen Yuan and the two of them, but his eyes under the sunglasses were still staring at the old man, but he never felt the slightest threat, so he didn't follow.

The old man smiled and walked three or four meters in front of Shen Yuan and Liu Wen, and the waves were just enough to wet his ankles. Liu Wen and Shen Yuan smiled and nodded at the old man, and the old man also grinned, and Shen Yuan saw that the old man had lost several teeth.

The old man seemed to be very interested in the two, stretched out his right hand and pointed at Shen Yuan's waist, and said in a slightly warm voice: "Young man! Hello! ”

Shen Yuan said strangely: "Hello! The old gentleman also came here to recuperate, right? Is there something you can do? ”

The old man smiled: "It's nothing, just to meet you, in the past two days, there have always been people following behind the buttocks, no way, the old man came over to explain." The knife in your waist 、、、、、、 the old man entrusted someone to hand you 、、、、、、."

"What?" Shen Yuan was taken aback when he heard this!

Not far away, the knife boy who noticed the abnormality had already pushed the wheelchair and walked over quickly, Shen Yuan knew that there was a gun hidden in the back of the wheelchair, and the two wheelchair handles were drawn out of two sharp daggers! The old man still looked at Shen Yuan with a smile: "Young man, can you talk to the old man alone?" ”

Shen Yuan looked at the old man without saying a word, and the old man was still standing there with a smile, and even two waves gently hit the old man's bare calves, and the old man's body shook lightly twice.

Dao Zai pushed the wheelchair and walked over and stood firmly beside Shen Yuan, fully alert.

Shen Yuan tilted his head and said to Daozai: "It's okay, help you Sister Liu Wen go back to the room to rest, and I'll talk to this old gentleman alone." ”

Daozi carefully looked at the old man who suddenly appeared again, nodded and helped Liu Wen to sit in a wheelchair and slowly walk towards the path.

The old man smiled and looked at the two who left, and then glanced in the direction of the third floor in the distance. Shen Yuan knew that it was the position of the cuttlefish's guard, and if nothing else, the old man's head had now appeared in the scope in front of the cuttlefish!

The old man Shi Shiran's hands behind his back and the old sandals he was holding in his hands were blown off by the sea breeze, and he looked at Shen Yuan and asked, "If the old man is not mistaken, that girl should be from Qiangui's side, right?" ”

Shen Yuan nodded and replied, "Yes, Xiaowen is a member of the Formation Gate, but he was expelled from the door. It's my best friend! ”

The old man scratched his temples, the grit on his fingers stuck to his face, and he wondered, "Then why hasn't her body been withdrawn?" Why was she kicked out of the door? ”

Shen Yuan shook his head: "I also asked about this, but she didn't say it, so there may be some last resort!" ”

The old man smiled playfully and said, "The most timid of the old thirteen sects are these guys, and if you let her to you, you have to get something to expel you from the mountain gate!" If you want to eat it and are afraid of burning、、、 you are afraid of it! ”

Shen Yuan's heart tightened, he had long thought that Liu Wen might also be sent by a mountain sect to deliberately contact him, but Liu Wen never gave him any explicit instructions from beginning to end. He never took the initiative to ask Shen Yuan to do anything, and the incident where Fang Tiancheng was framed by his wife was later carefully verified by Shen Budo, Fang Tiancheng was indeed Liu Wen's suitor for several years, and Liu Wen also put a lot of effort into saving him before Shen Yuan made a move. Anyway, Shen Yuan subconsciously felt that Liu Wen had not had any calculations or hostility towards him in the past few times, on the contrary, Liu Wen still had a faint connection with the Five Immortal Sect.

Regarding the matter of the old thirteen gates, Shen Yuan and Liu Wen did not mention it tacitly later, and Shen Yuan knew that the formation gate was also a member of the old thirteen gates back then! But in the Tongyuan Fort Fox Immortal Family, he faintly expressed his disdain for the Formation Gate、、、、、、 it seemed that the Formation Gate should have done something dishonorable or a role in the battle back then, but it did not completely tear his face with the old Thirteen Gates. In short、、、、、、 Shenyuan has always been a little afraid of losing Liu Wen's friend, and at the same time, he is slowly observing Liu Wen.

The old man looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Don't mention these cowards back then, this girl probably doesn't have any specific purpose." It's likely that the Formation Gate also wants to observe your kid, but you just need to keep an eye on yourself! ”

Shen Yuan nodded and said: "I am from the Northeast, and I have a real heart, and whoever treats me as a friend will treat him sincerely." But friends also have to have their own little secrets, and I'm not a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, so it's a blessing to be at peace with each other or to help each other! Do you say? ”

The old man raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You kid is still on the edge!" Hahaha, but it's right to think so, it's right to disturb each other, leave a line with each other, and be good people! Do you think the old man is a friend or an enemy? ”

Shen Yuan smiled: "The old gentleman is neither a friend nor an enemy, I'm afraid he is just an old man, right?" ”

The old man blinked when he heard this, and said, "Old man? Well、、、、、、 that's right! Indeed, it is 、、、、、、 old man."

Shen Yuan said: "Since the old gentleman secretly handed over this knife to me, he just didn't want to show his face, the knife was goodwill, and it was difficult not to show up, and now I am afraid that the old gentleman who was forced by Tongyuan For、、、t had to show up, right?" ”

The old man sighed and said, "Alas! Who lives in the world without suffering? The old man really doesn't want to appear in front of you, but the gang of people from the Five Immortals Sect are really disturbing the old man's misery! Don't you really want to know who the old man is? ”

Shen Yuan nodded and said, "Of course I want to!" But if the old gentleman doesn't want to say it, and the kid won't ask more, he will only accept the old gentleman's personal friendship. ”

The old man smiled, looked up at the sky with faint white clouds a little lonely, and said, "This knife 、、、、、、 considered to be Ling Zengzu, temporarily stored in the old man's door!" ”

Shen Yuan said in surprise: "Could it be that the old gentleman knows me?" 、、、”

The old man said, "I have indeed seen the 、、、 of Ling Great-Ancestor's true face."

Shen Yuan hurriedly calmed down, looked at the old man, and waited for the old man's next words.

The old man pointed to a dilapidated tin pavilion in the distance and said to Shen Yuan, "Let's go!" Let's go there and sit there, the old man is old, and he gets dizzy after a long time in the sun. ”

Shen Yuan nodded, and the two of them slowly walked towards the small pavilion in the distance, and there were two elderly tourists who looked very old on the road greeting the old man! The old man explained to Shen Yuan: "These two are old guys who live in the same room with me, they have a good chat, and they have made an appointment to go out for a drink together in the evening!" ”

Shen Yuan nodded, feeling a little messy in his head.

Walking into the gazebo, although it was dilapidated but still clean, the old man was still barefoot, and took the lead in sitting on an old iron bench on the side of the gazebo. Shen Yuan also quickly sat down not far away, staring at the old man closely, and the old man patted the sea sand on the soles of his feet. Unhurriedly, he said, "The old man should report himself to the mountain!" You should know the mountain gate inside Zhongnan Mountain in the Thirteen Gates, right? ”

Shen Yuan was puzzled: "Could the old gentleman be the predecessor of the Yunyin Sect of Zhongnan Mountain?" ”

The old man nodded and asked, "How much do you know about the old thirteen sects?" ”

Shen Yuan said: "Not much, the Dan Da Lama and the Fox Immortal family are not willing to say much, and the things left by Grandpa Tai are not very detailed." Minzhu Forest, Five Immortals Sect, Qiaogong Gate, Baicao Gate, Qiangui Formation Gate, Qingcheng Mountain Dao Gate、、、 and Zhongnan Mountain Yunyin Gate! That's all I know now. ”

The old man nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "I don't know, if it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, and if it's gone, I can't find it." ”

Shen Yuan was puzzled: "Then this knife 、、、? ”

The old man patted the sea sand on his hand and said: "This knife has actually been stored in the incense hall of Yunyin Gate all along, and it has never been shown, 、、、and later, when the great ancestor was about to fight, my master took out the knife and wanted to give it to the great ancestor." But the great ancestor refused, and only asked my master to take good care of this knife, and wait for the next generation of jade connoisseurs to give it as an opportunity after he was born. ”

Shen Yuan was puzzled: "With my grandfather's ability, if I can get the help of this Kunwu knife, I'm afraid it will 、、、."

The old man interrupted: "There were almost no survivors of that battle, how did it end, and the two or three people who survived were also silent. Forgive the old man for talking too much, so that Great-Ancestor probably didn't expect to be able to get out of the way! Rather than fall into the hands of the enemy, it is better to leave it to posterity! ”

Shen Yuan looked at the old man and asked, "The old gentleman has a big name?" How much do you know about the events of the year? ”

The old man smiled: "The old man's name is Li Qi, and I won't mention my age, I was lucky enough to see Ling Zengzu when I was just a child. The great ancestor is really a dragon and phoenix among people, and his skills are thorough! ”

Shen Yuan said gloomily: "So what? Didn't you end up with an unknown life and death? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Don't say that! It's a secret, and I'm afraid no one will know about it now! ”

Shen Yuan said: "Then you! Is it just to put this knife in my hands? ”

The old man nodded: "But it's true, the descendants of the old man are half of the people, and Yunyinmen has long since stopped paying attention to the grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes over the years." Only a few disciples of my generation survived in the door back then, and they have survived to this day, thanks to the blessing of the public gate of the year! Now most of the disciples in the sect are serving in the capital, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the year! ”

At this point, Shen Yuan realized that the old man seemed to have taken refuge in the public gate when the catastrophe was coming, in exchange for his own incense that continues to this day. As for the old thirteen sects back then, I'm afraid they don't want to be involved anymore!

The old man looked at Shen Yuan with a smile: "What? Feeling disappointed? ”

Shen Yuan shook his head: "No, Senior Li was able to fulfill the friendship of the older generation back then, and after so many years, he still kept his word and handed over such a precious thing to him." It's already extremely rare! As for the secrets of those days, as you said, almost no one knows about it! It is also reasonable for you to choose Mingzhe to protect your life now, when the old thirteen men died, let him go with the wind! ”

A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes! Said: "Not bad! Your baby has a good mentality, and some things can't be forced, if you can't see it, you will be asking for trouble! You helped the Five Immortals Sect seek revenge on the Great Black Temple this time、、、"

Shen Yuan's head was dizzy when he heard this! How long has it been? How could this old man who inexplicably claimed to be from Yunyinmen know about this?

Seeing that Shen Yuan's face was not good, the old man couldn't help but smile and said, "This cultivator's rivers and lakes are already well-informed!" The Five Immortal Sect suffered such a big loss last time, how could the Fox Immortal Family's stubborn temperament give up? However, this time it is really a bit out of bounds, the unwritten rules of the cultivation world, and the Five Immortals Sect outside the gate is dominant! But they can't cross the line and act with great fanfare! Although this time it was a battle on the grassland, it still caused some people's dissatisfaction, and the Hu Xian family may be in some trouble this time! ”

Shen Yuan's heart fluctuated, it seems that the Five Immortal Sect of the Hu Immortal Family is far from being as strong as he imagined! The cultivators of the various mountain sects in the Central Plains region were able to firmly suppress the Five Immortal Sect in this corner of the northeast and not develop, I am afraid that it was not just the handiwork of the secret alliance of the Xuanyi Sect. I'm afraid that the real reason is that all the cultivators of the Mountain Gate Dao System joined forces to resist!
