The two chatted while walking, each with their own concerns, and soon arrived at the study of the shopkeeper Li.

Seeing Chen Bing, Shopkeeper Li instantly turned into a kind elder, carefully looking at Chen Bing, who was becoming more and more marked. "Girl, you have grown taller and gained a little fatter, it seems that the food of the Lingbao faction is good. ”

Chen Bing obediently poured tea for Shopkeeper Li, "Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your compliment." ”

It turned out that Shopkeeper Li was just a pseudonym, and his surname was Wang!

Shopkeeper Li suddenly turned pale: "You didn't do it right, you haven't looked at me in nine months, why is this? If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't have come to see me, this bad old man, right?"

Chen Bing stuck out his tongue and grimaced, "Even if I don't come to see Uncle Wang, doesn't Uncle Wang often go to the Lingbao Sect to see me?"

"Haha, you ghost girl, I can't hide anything from you. He put away his serious expression, and suddenly sighed again, "Alas, there is no way! I have been entrusted by the three elders to take good care of you, in case you have some headaches and fevers, I can't afford it." ”

"Uncle Wang, have you been back to Luoyang recently? My father is in good health, and what about Uncle Lu and Uncle Wang?"

"They are all very good, you don't have to worry, and you will go back soon, greet them personally when the time comes!" shopkeeper Li did not forget to remind Chen Bing.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I remember our agreement. Chen Bing lowered his head, "I have also been away from Luoyang for too long, and after my senior brother's swordsmanship is practiced, I will help him get the Taiping Heart Method, and I will naturally go back with you." ”

You must know that Sun Ce is already a second-class fourth-class, and even the weakest Zhang Ning already has a first-class seventh-level cultivation. At the mention of Shi Xin, Shopkeeper Li sneered, and then turned to Chen Bingdao, "If you listen to me from the beginning, you will open the pulse first, and you will not be only a first-class five-fold now." The one who still has the strength to fight is probably Zhou Tai, that kid is good, and now there should be a second-class cultivator. Look, do you have a chance of winning if you three team up?"

"Uncle Wang, you have a preconceived idea and don't talk about the substance. Chen Bing corrected Shopkeeper Li, "Zhou Tai defends, Shi Xin attacks, I will control." That time Zhou Tai fought against Guan Hai, you also saw it when he hid in the shadows, his potential is unlimited, and he is good at fighting tough battles; Shi Xin has three pulse weapons, his mind is flexible, and he can attack and retreat and defend; I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and a Yaoqin can at least control people. Yes, the Heavenly Master teaches others to be strong in their individual abilities, but when it comes to team fighting, I think we have the strength to fight together. Finally, isn't there still half a year before the Heavenly Master's Pulse Teacher Competition? We still have a lot of room for growth. ”

"You have some truth in that, so I'll wait and see what the outcome will be. I remind you one last time, in exchange for teaching Shi Xin, you will go back to Luoyang with me in half a year anyway. And during this time, I will wholeheartedly tutor Shi Xin, and even you can bring Zhou Tai and I will train with you. You're all right, right?"

"I remember...... Uncle Wang, thank you, then I'll go first!"

"Son of Heaven's destiny, it seems that they don't know what's going on!hehe!" Looking at Chen Bing's distant figure, Shopkeeper Li stroked his beard and asked himself, "If the girl doesn't come to beg me, will I agree to Shi Xin's request?" After all, that kid is the destiny of the Son of Heaven, and how similar that Son of Heaven sword is to my vein. ”

Everyone has a love for talent, especially those who are grandmaster-level figures. Shopkeeper Li's swordsmanship is superb, so he naturally wants to find a suitable person to inherit the mantle. Wang Ke is very qualified, his willpower, character, and pulse are all top candidates, but the fly in the ointment is that Wang Ke has a broken arm, and the power of many sword moves cannot be used.

Seeing that Wang Ke was about to retire, Shopkeeper Li stopped him, tapped on the table in front of him, and said slowly: "There are some things that I need to remind you." You should know clearly who the girl is, and you should know who she will be in the future. Except for that person, you, Shi Xin, and no one else are in a position to have anything to do with her. Shopkeeper Li paused, "You and I can see that she and Shi Xin have a secret relationship." So I'm going to take her away from Julu, and at the same time warn her not to let people waste their feelings on her, which is very dangerous. She agreed, and would be careful to keep her distance from Shi Xin. ”

In the end, Shopkeeper Li sighed, "You try to stay away from the girl in the future, and if you don't think about him, you will naturally forget it slowly." Also, tomorrow Shi Xin will come to learn the sword, and you will teach you with all your heart, lest I have any reservations about that ghost girl. ”

"Master, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between public and private and is narrow-minded. Then I'll go down first. ”

Wang Ke closed the door for Shopkeeper Li and looked up at the sky. White clouds floated in the blue sky, just like Wang Ke who was floating past a heart.

"If you don't think about it, will you forget? Then why does my family's blood feud always appear in the middle of the night? Shi Xin, are you and I both doomed to fail? We don't even have the qualifications to fight?"

Shi Xin walked aimlessly down the street and stumbled upon a familiar alley.

"How did you get here. Shi Xin shook his head with a smile and turned to leave. It turned out that entering here was the ruined temple where he was when he first crossed, which is now Shi Wei's home.

I want to walk, but I can't take a step.

"Let's go over and take a look, and if he's there, just call 'Daddy' and walk away. Shi Xin made up his mind and slowly leaned over.

I don't know if it's because of the memories of the past, every brick and tile here seems so familiar, even the moss in the corner of the wall doesn't seem to have changed.

The wooden door of the broken temple is missing, and it is estimated that it was demolished by people nearby and burned as wood. The "man" in the ruined temple seemed to be disheartened, and he didn't bother to repair the door.

Yes, what else in this world does he care about? He doesn't even care about the life and death of his son. Thinking of this, the resentment in Shi Xin's heart rose with a loud sound, and he wanted to turn away. Suddenly, through the half-empty door, they saw some clay pots scattered on the ground, which were their usual cooking utensils. Next to it was a half-cut wooden horse, half of its original color had faded, and it lay desolate on the ground.

Shi Xin thought to himself, it should be a toy from his childhood, it doesn't look like he bought it, it is estimated that Shi Wei made it himself. I thought of the room where I was lying at the time, all the furniture and utensils were very rough, probably made by Shi Wei himself, right?

"He has also paid a lot for this family!"

Shi Xin stopped turning around, he decided to go in, he wanted to ask the question that had been pressing in his heart all along, what kind of hardship was it, whether he would save his son from death?

The yard was covered with moss, and even the cooking utensils scattered on the ground had half a tank of rainwater, and it was obvious that no one had used it for a long time. The weeds were longer and more desolate than the last time he left.

The furnishings in the room have not changed, just a thick layer of dust. There was no one in the temple, and it had been a long time since the situation was watched. When Shi Xin returned to the front yard, the image of the reunion of father and son in his mind vanished, and he only thought about one thing: where had he gone? Would it be dangerous? He stood still, not knowing whether it was better to go or stay. This is the only memory associated with Shi Wei, and Shi Xin doesn't know where to look for him other than here.

After a while, I suddenly heard that the remaining half of the wooden door was pushed open by "squeak", and I didn't want to go through a long time of wind and sun, the wooden door had already loosened, and it fell down with a bang.

"Ouch, this door...... Hehe, that's it. The middle-aged man standing in front of the door was obviously startled by the fallen wooden door, and was at a loss for a moment.

Shi Xin saw that the person who came turned out to be Chen Langzhong.

"Hello Uncle Chen!" Shi Xin had always been grateful to this warm-hearted Lang Zhong, and hurriedly trotted up and carefully helped him in.

Chen Langzhong first looked Shi Xin up and down, saw that his face was white and ruddy, and then skillfully picked up his wrist to check the pulse, and finally said in surprise: "Great! The pulse is strong and powerful, there is a flow of true qi, you have not only healed from your injuries, but also become a pulse master." ”

Seeing Chen Langzhong excited like a child, Shi Xin's eyes also moistened. I remember that when he took himself to visit the shopkeeper Li and passed the test of the Lingbao faction, it was really like a world away.

"Uncle Chen, he'...... What?"

Chen Langzhong didn't answer, but asked, "It's been more than half a year, right? Do you still hate your father?"

The smile on Shi Xin's face gradually cooled, and he said in a flat tone: "I can't hate it." I just walked here, took a look, and left. ”

Chen Langzhong heard the coldness in his tone, and couldn't help but sigh faintly: "Your master's name is Ge Xuan, right? Once he came to your father with a letter, saying that you were in the Lingbao Sect of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, so that he would have time to take a look." Of course, it is better to live in the past and share the family. Your father mentioned it to me, and said that if there is any more people from the Lingbao Sect in the future, let me give this thing to him, and then hand it over to you. He cautiously took out an object from his bosom and handed it to Shi Xin, "Since you are here, return it to its original owner." Since that day, your father has disappeared without saying a word, and no one knows where he has gone. ”

Shi Xin took the object and saw that a thin cloth was wrapped around an object at random, and the inside was light and soft. I only heard Chen Langzhong say: "After the matter is done, I should also leave." He turned to leave, and when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, and hesitated, "Although your father doesn't say it, I can feel it." He had a lot of pain in his heart, and he had a lot of heartache. He just can't tell us that he ...... A poor man, too. In fact...... What is more uncomfortable in this world than death is that life is worse than death. ”

Shi Xin froze in place for a moment, all that lingered in his mind was Chen Langzhong's words, and he muttered: "Life is better than death...... Life is better than death. "Thinking that Shi Wei usually lives alone, he can't eat or sleep well, like a walking corpse that lives for some reason. Thinking of Shi Wei going out alone, Shi Xin's hatred seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

After Chen Langzhong left, Shi Xin opened the thin cloth, and a bright red handkerchief appeared in front of him. On closer inspection, the handkerchief is incomplete, it looks like it has been torn in half, and the hairy edges at the interface are not smooth. Half of the handkerchief is grasped in the hand, and a smooth texture is instantly transmitted to the brain, and under the touch of the fingertips, it is like the delicacy of water. Shi Xin's heart sank, this handkerchief is extraordinary. When you look closely, the background of the handkerchief is bright red, and two words are embroidered vertically on the front: auspicious. The workmanship is extremely fine, and the edges of the words are wrapped with gold threads, showing luxury.

Since it is a cherished and important thing entrusted by Shi Wei when he left, it is extremely meaningful. Shi Xin looked at the shroud again, and there was nothing but a handkerchief, which made the second monk puzzled: what does it mean? "auspicious" here, "Ruyi" over there.

In ancient times, only women learned embroidery, and Shi Wei didn't look like a popular woman. Could this be left to me by my mother? Thinking of the mother I had never met, Shi Xin couldn't help but feel emotional.
