I rubbed my finger on the lock and lifted it up a little harder, and the lock lifted at an angle.

The chains rattled.

After three or five years of wind and rain, even the thick pig iron with a thick thumb has a thick layer of rust, which is very rough, and the rust scratches on the hands and hurts, and the weeds in the yard have not been cleaned up all these years, and they have grown more and more wanton and luxuriant, and the original path is not clear to see, and it is all pressed under the blades of grass.

It's really, like a wilderness, and it doesn't match this village at all.

The old man laughed at himself in his heart, untied the iron chain, threw the lock down casually, and the chain fell on the dirt ground, the sound was dull and dull, poof, and then he raised his hand and pushed it on the door, and with a soft creak, the wooden door was pushed open, and there was a smell of earth and wood on his face.

Because for such a long time, no one lived and no one took care of it, so the general layout of this courtyard is still the same as when I left, except that there is grass crawling everywhere, even on the walls.

The tiles were pulled off by the delicate and soft grass branches, revealing a much paler wall skin, and the old house that had not been repaired for decades and had lost its popularity, and that was it.

Withered......

The old man muttered twice, drummed up, swayed to the left, and took out a hidden wine jar from the dusty storehouse, and the wine jar was even more dusty, and shook it, and there was half a jar of wine in it, which made a loud noise, and slapped it away, and there was a pungent smell of wine, mixed with the smell of earth.

The bad liquor in the village, even if it is left for some time, really can't become much more ingestible.

Liqidao smashed his mouth, but still wiped the wine jar, sat on the stone bench that was climbed by the wall creeper, looked at the village where he had lived for a long time, and slowly poured wine.

There are many marks on the big tree next to it, which are scratches cut with a dagger.

Four feet three, four feet five, five feet, six feet.

In a trance, I could see a little guy standing by the tree and asking him to come quickly.

The corners of his mouth hooked, the wine in his mouth pierced his throat, and he thought wildly in his head, obviously he grew up slowly, black and thin, how did he go crazy when he was fifteen or sixteen?

I haven't seen him much in a year or two, and I'm about to be taller than him.

Tsk, I was taken aback at the time.

Martial arts are also good.

Very good......

There was a gap on the table, and he still remembered that when he created those few Thunder Dao martial arts, he showed off in front of the little guy, but he accidentally knocked out a hole and showed his face.

Well, but he's not a little guy anymore.

The old man took a sip of wine and looked into the yard, as if he could still see the little guy who came to listen to his own story, dark and thin, just a pair of eyes that looked better, and his body was dirty, and there was a miscellaneous smell of killing pigs.

Stinking.

He was here at the time, telling stories, yes, things that he had personally experienced.

At that time, he felt that he was still very powerful, that is, he had retreated to the rivers and lakes, and he only thought about accompanying Wang Tiance to complete the last part of the journey, and then he would continue to explore the rivers and lakes.

He felt like he was still young and had a lot to do.

I want to go to the extreme north, and I want to go to the king's tent in the north to drink mare's milk wine.

I want to go up to Kunlun Mountain to find that old immortal trouble.

I also want to fly to the west, and finally fly to the farthest place to see.

These things can't be done, and if you have to wait for Wang Tiance, you can only tell stories.

Ah, though.

The old man took a sip of wine and looked into the distance, the expression on his face softened.

That was ten years ago, after all.

Liqi Dao grabbed the wine jar in his hand and shook it to the side at will, and the wine was rattling towards the wine jar.

The old man looked at the empty road in front of him and smiled.

"Tsk, Wang Tiance......"

"It seems that 'we' are really old, in other words, that era, the ...... that belongs to us"

"It's finally over."

…………………………

Suddenly, it rained heavily in Tianjing City.

In the attic next to the Tianjing School Palace, the master in a green shirt quietly watched the rain fall.

The clouds in the sky were pressed very low, and the rain washed on the bluestone floor, shrouding the entire Tianjing City in such a thin rain curtain like a light veil, restaurants, school palaces, teahouses, shirtless men, girls holding oil-paper umbrellas, and carriages rushing past in the rain.

The driver of the carriage brandished his whip, his face covered with moisture, and stared at the road ahead with wide eyes.

This is Tianjing City, the capital of Great Qin.

Jiang Shouyi didn't move for a long time, until there was a sound of gentle footsteps behind him, someone put on a dress for him, Jiang Shouyi gently held the palms of his hands in his hands, and a pair of eyes were still looking at the rain curtain in front of him, looking at Tianjing under the rain curtain, and looking at Daqin outside Tianjing.

The woman with gentle eyebrows behind her said softly:

"I've heard about An Feng's kid."

"He's doing a great job."

Jiang Shou smiled and said:

"yes, that's good......"

"I didn't expect him to come this far so quickly, and after this year, he should be 20 years old, and he will be famous all over the world at the age of 20...... Like his father, I have no regrets about being able to have such a disciple, as a teacher. ”

He gently shook the woman's hand vigorously, and his expression was gentle:

"It's just that An Feng alone can't represent the students of the world after all."

"I hope that in the future, the world will no longer be a world that needs a certain person to stand up, Wang Tiance, An Feng, the empty road is long, and the long night is dark, so people like them will be needed, if everyone can have light, it will be weak, and it is enough."

"As a teacher, I hope to be able to at least take this step ahead of him."

Outside the window, the rain grew louder.

A carriage galloped away from the street, the curtain on one side was lifted, the eyebrows and eyes were handsome, but there was a three-point frivolous young man staring at the long-lost street of Tianjing City with wide eyes, his face was full of satisfaction, he retracted his gaze, and said:

"Teacher, this time I came to Tianjing City, do you have any plans?"

"Or do you want to go to the school palace in Tianjing City first?"

"However, the students are quite familiar with the food here, and there is no recommendation for the school palace, so the students are really not familiar with it."

He looked at the scholar next to him.

It was a silent and cold middle-aged man, with his eyes slightly closed, tall and slightly emaciated, wearing a black wide-sleeved shirt, only his eyes closed, and a majestic and heavy momentum, and a sword on his knees, which was tied round and round by a circle of white cloth, and he could not see the appearance.

Anyone who sees him can feel that this is a Confucian who is very angry.

It's just that one of his arms is empty, and the cuffs hang down to one side, and for some reason, he has broken an arm.

Ni Tianxing opened his eyes and said lightly:

"Let's go and settle down first."

"Okay!"

Yang Yongding smiled and answered, and the coachman in front of him opened his mouth to explain a few words, the coachman shook the horsewhip, the two healthy horses snorted, turned around, turned into a secluded road, left a clear rut on the bluestone floor, and was quickly washed away.

……………………

Books, books everywhere.

There are all kinds of miscellaneous studies recorded here, and there are also records of various martial arts schools on the rivers and lakes, hidden knowledge, any book here, flowing in the rivers and lakes, will definitely set off a fight and fight, if the swordsmanship books here are circulated, then it is even enough to trigger the actions of the top factions in a place.

Lin Qiaofu turned over a page of the classic book in her hand, withdrew her gaze, raised her hand and rubbed her somewhat sour eyes.

The sunlight was just right, shining in through the gap in the window, and it happened to fall on the bookshelf on one side, warm, with the aroma of the wooden bookshelves and scrolls and papers, Lu Baiping sat on the chair with a sword, her head against the bookshelf, sleeping soundly, her body undulating slightly.

Lin Qiaofu rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, but she didn't wake her up.

Walked out lightly, stretched lazily, and squeezed his delicate eyebrows together, and then he breathed out, recently read a lot of classics, and always felt that his head was a little swollen, in this way, will it become the same as the head, need to worry about not enough hair, can't comb the sideburns?

She pondered the question.

Just when she had walked around enough and was about to go back to pack up the classics, she suddenly noticed an extremely sharp qi rising from the top of the main peak of Qingfeng Jie, as if the famous sword was out of its sheath, but it was more cold than sharp, she stretched out her hand, and white delicate snow fell on her palm.

"It's snowing......"

Yes, it's snowing, and the sky and the earth are endless.

The main peak of Qingfeng Xie is quite beautiful, piercing through the misty clouds, the sea of clouds is churning, and there is no cloud on it, but there is white snow that seems to be born naturally, fluttering, falling from the sky, shrouding the whole Qingfeng Jie, fluttering and boundless.

The disciples ran out of the house and exclaimed.

There are ten thousand sword peaks in the Qingfeng solution.

On the highest peak, a woman dressed in white lowered her sword and stood up, her brow and eyes quiet.

Dirt-free, dust-free.

The Immortal Sword Palace returned to the mountain and was on the last day of the eighth month of retreat.

He put down the sword in his hand and walked out of the retreat.

The snow moved for 300 miles.

Snowfall in June.

………………

Great Qin Weiming Sect.

A young Taoist priest was eating, and when he saw the green donkey tied next to him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then pushed open the door of the side room, and the room was simple and quiet, and a person on the bed wrapped himself in the quilt, and shoes and socks were placed under the bed.

The Taoist priest sighed helplessly, walked in and put the food box on the table, and persuaded:

"Senior brother, don't be angry, senior uncle, it's also for the sake of senior brother."

"It's not that the junior brother says more, senior brother, are you really too lazy? In this way, it is no wonder that the law enforcement master is angry, senior brother, senior brother, don't sleep anymore, you are so lazy, how can you inherit the suzerain of Weiming Sect in the future......"

"Senior brother? Senior Brother Mu Shanxue? ”

The young Taoist priest babbled for a long time, but the man on the bed still didn't react.

He was stunned, suddenly thought of something, walked out a few steps quickly, and pulled the quilt away.

Immediately stood still.

A moment later, a miserable scream came from the pitiful Taoist temple on the mountain, startling the birds.

"Master, uncle, uncle."

"Senior brother, he's again, he's ...... Ran away and went down the mountain again! ”

A shout came out of the main compartment.

"Let Chonghe go and get him back!"

"Master, uncle, uncle!"

"Chong and the little junior brother were abducted by the senior brother!"

At the foot of the mountain, a handsome and lazy Taoist with fluttering sleeves, holding a little Taoist priest with red lips and white teeth, like an immortal, laughed and said:

"Little junior brother, let's go!"

"What do you want to see this time?"

………………

"Peerless ......"

"That little guy has made such a big news again......"

The corners of the mouth of some sloppy Taoist priests twitched, and on the shoulders sat a little girl, the little girl grasped a string of red sugar gourds in one hand, and Bai Shengsheng's wrist was tied with a rope, which was very thin, but tied to an extremely large and hideous black bear.

The black bear lies on all fours, shoulder-height more than two meters.

If a person stands up, it will be more than five meters, or even six meters of terrifying beasts, the size of a bear's paw, is the head of a tiger, and can also be lightly photographed into sparse tofu, but at this time it is tied by a short rope, honest and docile.

The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand, hugged the little girl on his shoulder, stretched out his broad right hand, rubbed her hair, and looked kind between his eyebrows: "How is it, do you want to go to him to see?" ”

"The last time was last year, no, the year before last, the New Year's Day of the year before last, you miss him, right?"

Zhang Tingyun stretched out his palm and rubbed it on the old Taoist's eyebrows, wanting to smooth out the wrinkles, but found that the wrinkles seemed to have been deeply rooted in the old man's face, so he could only give up, and then shook his head:

"Nope."

The old Taoist priest was stunned.

"He, us, still has a long way to go."

The little girl's voice lowered, and she tugged at the Taoist priest's cuffs.

The voice was soft and quiet, like clouds on the horizon.

"I want to accompany you first......"

The old Taoist priest was stunned, then laughed out loud, laughed out loud, laughed out of tears, and then lifted the little girl high, and then put it on his shoulders again, full of pride, wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, and said loudly: "Okay, this is right!" Follow Master Tai, Master Tai will take you all over the world. ”

"Eat fragrant, drink sweet, my children, life will never be worse than others!"

Zhang Tingyun sat on the tall shoulders, kicked and clicked with his little feet, took a bite of the sugar gourd, and hummed gently.

The old man laughed, his heart was warm, he kicked the black bear, and said:

"Go, beast."

"I'm going to give you something to eat today!"

The short tail of the black bear wagged in a dazzling way.

…………………

Outside of Daqin Fufeng County.

A handsome man in his thirties had straight eyes, swayed into the city, raised his eyes and looked at the three words Fufeng County, and had the urge to look up to the sky and cry bitterly.

It's tough......

How hard life is!

Gu Tianhan grabbed it with both fists, and he almost couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl 30,000 times, 30,000 times.

Knife maniac, why aren't you a person!

Seven days, seven days to rush to Daqin.

But why didn't you say that Fufeng County is in the north of Daqin, the north, from the Western Regions to the north, the distance is at least thirty percent longer than originally expected, and three percent of Daqin, how many miles is that!

In nine days, from the Western Regions, he rushed to the north of Great Qin.

He swore that he would never practice light martial arts again in the next life......

He was a martial artist who had only reached the fifth grade, and he worked hard to knock pills day and night, and after running to Daqin within seven days, he was relieved, and planned to relax for a few days after sending the letter, and then he was very sad to find that Fufeng County was in the north of Daqin.

And he was to the west of Great Qin.

The conclusion was that after being extremely difficult and crossing the extremely harsh climate of the Western Regions, he still had to cross half of Daqin, and the seven days given to him were gone, so he could only grit his teeth and run for two days in the dark, running half of Daqin's distance.

He had never felt so much about the vastness of a country.

However, it is finally coming to an end......

Gu Tianhan looked at the distant city, coughed twice, strengthened his spirits in his heart, asked a few people in the city, and walked around, only to find the location of the destination, which was a place that looked like an ordinary gang station, with two bronze rings of beast heads on the vermilion door.

"Here, this is the Shenwu Mansion?"

"However, it seems that it was originally called the Whale Gang, no matter what."

At that moment, he found the letter from his arms, took a few steps forward, grabbed the copper ring and patted it, and after a while, a person welcomed him in, it was a short and fat man who was almost forty years old, and his surname seemed to be Li, and everyone else called him Brother Li.

All the way inward, Gu Tianhan, who was in a hurry to get dark, subconsciously looked at the stationing of this gang, and judged in his heart, there was a white-haired old guy in the courtyard in front of him who was swaying with tea, and when he crossed the aisle, he also saw a young man with a strong wooden face.

There is a smell of medicine on his body, and he looks harmless to humans and animals, so he should be a doctor.

It's ordinary...... Sure enough, it's a common name like the Whale Gang.

With everything in his eyes, because he didn't have time to inquire about the news on the road, Gu Tinghan couldn't help but look down on this place a little in his heart, after entering, someone served tea, hot tea entered his throat, Gu Tianhan exhaled a long breath, and his fatigue eased a little.

It seemed that he could hear the wind in his ears, Gu Tianhan looked left and right, and his heart became more and more curious.

The leaves of the trees in the yard fell to the ground, and it was quiet, and there was obviously no wind.

At this time, a big man came out of the back, and it was Gongsun Jing.

Gu Tianhan retracted his thoughts, he didn't know that the news that was only circulating in the high-level of the rivers and lakes now, told the matter again, and then took out the token, almost at the moment when he took out the token, with his keen perception of the eleventh on the black list, no, the tenth gangster, he instantly sensed that something was wrong.

A line of sight instantly condensed on the token.

The scorching gaze almost made his palms hurt, and Gu Tianhan hesitated:

"Uh...... Gongsun gang leader? ”

Gongsun Jing retracted his gaze and said with a polite smile:

"Your Excellency has seen the owner of this token?"

"So, that is, can you find him?"

Gu Tianhan keenly sensed the 'flattery' in this voice, thought about his identity and the identity of the knife maniac, blew the hot air on the teacup, raised his chin slightly, and said lightly:

"It's ...... nature"

Syllable!

Gu Tianhan saw that the teacup in Gongsun Jing's hand shattered instantly.

Then in the next moment, in his eyes, the middle-aged man who was just an old fritter in the rivers and lakes suddenly got up, took a step forward, and was domineering, and the atmosphere of the battlefield rose to the sky, and the frontal impact was pasted on Gu Tianhan's face, making his eyes blank.

The terrifying soldier is angry and wantonly vents his sense of existence.

Gu Tianhan's whole person was stunned.

After a few breaths, his thoughts recovered from the blank slate, and he was dumbfounded.

This, this is ......

With the explosion of this breath, a terrifying aura rose, Li Laosan, who led the way, the white-haired old man who was holding tea outside, the wooden and dull pharmacist, and the qi that represented the martial arts above the sixth rank soared into the sky next to him.

One after the other.

Don't give him time to react at all!

Before he could react, or that he had been unable to react after a long journey, Gongsun Jing's palm grabbed his shoulder, lifted him up, and strode out, the door behind him opened, Gu Tianhan's struggling movements stagnated, and his eyes slowly widened.

It spreads all the way to the buildings on the mountain peaks, and the warriors who patrol back and forth.

Deeply sinking, as if the sea abyss could not see the limit of the huge void, and the logs sticking out of the sinking hollow, the height was staggered, even Gu Tianhan could see that these logs were composed of a complex and inexplicable formation.

But it wasn't the great array that occupied the aura of the entire mountain range that shook him.

Rather, it is the existence of a large array.

It's not jade, it's not gold, it's not treasures—

It's people.

On each log, a young warrior wearing azure armor sat cross-legged.

They breathed slowly.

They close their eyes.

They were densely packed and occupied Gu Tianhan's field of vision.

In the void, fierce men who were over forty years old trampled on the void, running back and forth, and the sticks with the thickness of their wrists kept knocking on the bodies of those young warriors, on their backs, and scolded:

"Breath, breath!"

"Coordination is one, do you understand?!"

"Stay steady!"

So their breath became more and more calm.

So their bodies became straighter and straighter.

Then the sound of their breathing became more and more slow.

call

Suck –

Gu Tianhan's body stiffened.

The sound of the wind that I heard just now was here.

As if gathered together, as if in a place that could not be seen by the naked eye, there was some kind of terrifying existence that was gradually awakening, and what I saw in front of me was not thousands of young people forming a large array, but a dormant coiling dragon, the dragon beast had a long breath, raised its head, and locked its cold eyes on itself.

Gu Tianhan was speechless.

This, this is ......

At this time, Gongsun Jing let go of Gu Tianhan, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice:

"Where Qingtao rides!"

The sound of breathing suddenly stopped.

Pairs of eyes open in unison.

Look at their manager.

Gongsun Jing's eyes swept wide.

"The messenger of the Great Marshal has arrived, and he will lead the way for us."

Gu Tianhan was stunned.

What?!

I'm here!

He was about to speak.

Gongsun Jing suddenly tidied up his clothes, his movements were solemn and serious, and then he looked at the thousands of Qingtao riders in front of him, and said solemnly, his voice was heavy, word by word, as if a heavy hammer hit the air, but with pride and contempt.

He had waited too long for this moment.

"Shenwu Mansion, go out of battle."

"This time, welcome back our handsome!"

The scorching flames instantly ignited in a pair of eyes, and the flames spread, and then converged into a flame that could burn through the wilderness, burning fiercely.

Syllable!

They stood up in unison, their armor roaring.

Then raise your right arm and strike your chest in a neat line.

The mouth drank low, gathered together, it was a storm, it was a thunder, the willow leaves swayed lightly, and there was a soldier's murderous atmosphere, rising to the sky.

"No!"

(End of volume)
