Xie Xiaodi is gone.

He left behind the sword made of cold iron from the South China Sea, with various rare materials, and invited the master to forge the sword, and went away alone.

He may have felt that his sword was of no use to him; It's no use for him to stay here.

Zhu Yeqing hasn't left yet.

He was ready to die, but at this point, he was not afraid of death; But at this moment, Zhu Yeqing is still alive, and he feels that it is still a good thing to be alive after all.

The furnishings in the Yuelai Inn are still neat, and there is hardly any damage.

But the dull and depressing atmosphere slowly subsided little by little after Xie Xiaodi had been gone for a long time.

The doll was the first to speak, and she asked, "Little brother, ...... Why did he leave? ”

Xie Xiaodi's original name was Little Brother, and only a small number of people knew about this matter.

Zhu Yeqing said strangely: "Brother Xiaoyun, are you really the mysterious swordsman who argued with Xie Xiaofeng in the Divine Sword Villa for seven days and seven nights, and fought with him without a win?" ”

Xiao Yun sat on the bench and said, "Do you believe it?" ”

Zhu Yeqing sighed: "If someone else comes to you, I will definitely not believe it; But if this is said from Xie Xiaodi's mouth, I have to believe it. ”

Xiaoyun said: "What he said is very reliable? ”

Zhu Yeqing said: "He is Xie Xiaofeng's son!" ”

Xie Xiaodi is the son of Xie Xiaofeng and Murong Qiudi.

There are actually not too many people who know about this matter, and in the martial arts, they only know that he is a genius swordsman born from the Diancang Sect, and he has won the heart of Li Zhenzhen, the leader of the Seven Great Sword Sect Alliance.

"If Xie Xiaofeng fought with the mysterious swordsman and retired to the Hidden Sword House, he would be willing to tell someone in the world about that day, then this person must be Xie Xiaodi!"

Xiaoyun said slowly: "You are right! ”

Zhu Yeqing said: "But Xie Xiaofeng probably didn't expect that he really beat you!" ”

Xiaoyun said: "Even I didn't think of it!" ”

Zhu Yeqing said: "How could he beat you?" ”

No one answered, and the inn was silent.

After a long silence, there was finally a sound, and it was Xiao Yun who put the Cold Iron Divine Sword back into its sheath and silently placed it on the table.

"Even if I did, you probably wouldn't understand it too much."

Zhu Yeqing said: "But I don't think you will be abolished by someone." ”

The doll's eyes were filled with a complicated look: "Whoever can tie with Xie Xiaofeng, there will be no one in the world who can abolish his martial arts." ”

Zhu Yeqing praised: "Yes! So Brother Xiaoyun just planned to retreat to the mountains and forests, not asking about the rivers and lakes, and then deliberately lost to Xie Xiaodi. ”

The doll said: "Of course Xie Xiaodi also knows this, so he didn't dare to press step by step, but left his sword and walked away." ”

Zhu Yeqing suddenly sighed again: "It's a pity." ”

The doll asked, "What is a pity?" ”

Zhu Yeqing said: "It's a pity that Xie Xiaodi may never have a chance to defeat his father!" ”

The doll said, "Better than his father?" Why should he prevail over his father? ”

"I know ........ them," Zhu Yeqing said in an ancient and distant tone, "Xie Xiaodi has lived in the shadow of his father all his life, and he has hated his father all his life!" ”

The doll whispered, "But his father is the 'number one sword in the world'." ”

Zhu Yeqing said: "It is precisely because of this that if he wants to defeat his father, it is almost impossible!" ”

The doll's eyes lit up and she said, "Oh, I see." Xiaoyun and Xie Xiaofeng are tied, so as long as he defeats Xiaoyun, he will also be considered to have won against his father Xie Xiaofeng, right? ”

Zhu Yeqing smiled bitterly: "It's impossible to really let him compete with his father with a sword...... Not to mention that Xie Xiaofeng will never hurt him, in fact, even if it is him, he will never hurt Xie Xiaofeng. Because father and son are father and son after all! ”

The doll said: "But after Xie Xiaofeng went into hiding, Xiaoyun also abandoned the sword and didn't use it." Xie Xiaodi never had a chance to fight with them fairly. ”

"It's a shame."

The last sentence was said by Xiao Yun, and after he finished speaking, he took the Cold Iron Divine Sword and went back to his room.

······

Xie Xiaodi came in a hurry and went in a hurry. After he left, Zhu Yeqing and the doll couple also said goodbye.

The days were quiet again.

Xiaoyun stayed for several days, and recuperated with the help of the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn and Xiao Er.

Although all his martial arts have been forgotten, and he doesn't know how to work in his internal strength, the foundation of his body is still there, and his injuries are getting better quickly.

For several days, he rested in his room and did not leave the house.

By the time his feet stepped out of the inn again, he was no longer in the way.

"Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell. You don't have to send me anymore. ”

Xiao Er and scholars at Yuelai Inn insisted on sending Xiaoyun out of the city gate, and prepared a lot of dry food for him to eat on the road. Especially Xiao Er, when Fang stepped out of the door of the inn, he was already very reluctant to give up on Xiaoyun.

"You...... Are you really going to travel north? You're not done yet, are you? ”

Xiaoyun stood at the door of the Yuelai Inn, so that they didn't have to go anymore, and said: "All things in heaven and earth are self-extinguishing and self-destructive, and there is nothing that hurts or dies." ”

"You think I'm hurt, but I don't think I'm hurt. You don't have to worry about me. ”

Xiaoyun smiled and spoke, saying in a joking tone.

Since that day, he has become more and more cheerful, more and more close, more and more ordinary.

If Xiao Er and the scholar could still feel a decisive, majestic, and decisive "big man temperament" in him before, then now they are all gone.

So even with it, Xiao Er and the scholar's awe and worship for Xiaoyun gradually disappeared, and was replaced by liking and respect.

This is not an easy transition.

There are people who can make many people fear him, fear him, fear him, but there is no one in the world who can force another person to like him from the bottom of his heart.

This kind of transformation is very magical, it has nothing to do with martial arts and internal strength, but it is a very critical part of the martial arts path that Xiaoyun walked.

He's being caught in the middle.

The three of them were talking when a crisp voice suddenly sounded on the side of the road.

"Big brother, big brother, I've finally found you! Where have you been these days, we have been looking for you in Beicheng for a long time and have not found you. ”

A little girl hurried over as if she had something very important.

Xiaoyun leaned down with a smile, touched the girl's head, and said, "Big brother is leaving, he won't perform boxing anymore in the future, and he forgot it." ”

With tears in her eyes, the little girl said, "But...... But now that you're gone, who are we going to play with in the future? Mr. Storyteller was also arrested! ”

Xiao Yun was surprised: "Mr. Storyteller was arrested? ”

The little girl said: "Yes, I heard that a few years ago, a murder case of a foot worker was killed and re-opened in the Yamen, and the county magistrate insisted that Mr. Storyteller was the real murderer!" ”

Xiaoyun's heart sank.

He knew the case.

is the case of the murder of the dung man Lao Gong, Xiaoyun has always suspected that the murderer is huge, but no evidence has been found.

- The reason why there is no evidence for this incident is not that the huge hands and feet are too clean, but that no passers-by have ever paid attention to them.

- No one will pay attention to the whereabouts of this dung man, and no one will care about Lao Gong's life or death.

- Maybe Xiao Yun pointed his sword at the huge companions and forced them to ask, but unfortunately at that time, Xiao Yun no longer used martial arts to do things.

This basin was even buckled to his head at the beginning.

However, Xiaoyun knows that he is not a murderer, and Mr. Storyteller is not a murderer.

- Mr. Storyteller and Lao Gong have no grievances, except that Lao Gong often listens to his lectures, the two have no intersection, this murder case involves the storyteller, which can be regarded as a great injustice!

Xiaoyun hurriedly asked, "What about the storyteller?" ”

The little girl was more anxious than him, and said, "At three o'clock in the afternoon today, Mr. Storyteller will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market!" ”

Xiaoyun looked up at the sky.

The sun is high and moving towards the center.
