In a very secluded place, there was a small courtyard, the door of which was tightly closed, and the walls of the courtyard made of wooden sticks were piled with snow.

In the yard, there are a few plum trees and unknown flowers and plants, at this moment the plum blossoms on the plum trees are in full bloom, as soon as the cold wind passes, there are pieces of fiery red petals flying with the wind, some float out of the yard, some fall in the yard.

In addition to these, there was a small wooden house in the courtyard, and the door of the wooden house was also closed.

The old woman stopped when she led Ye Qiu to a distance of ten zhang in front of the courtyard, and the middle-aged man just followed behind the two, and when the two stopped, he stopped, and when he walked, he raised his feet and walked, and when he stopped, he also stopped when his footsteps fell.

The old woman pointed to the small courtyard and said with a smile, "Go over by yourself, this friend of the dean's does not like others to disturb him." ”

Ye Qiu nodded, saluted the two of them again, and then walked towards the courtyard.

He walked to the courtyard door, stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed the courtyard door open.

The courtyard door was pushed open, but his body retreated quickly, and a long sword seemed to appear out of thin air, pressing tightly against his neck.

He had been out of the distance for seven or eight feet before he stopped, and the sword turned back and disappeared without a trace.

Appears out of thin air and disappears out of thin air.

Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment and walked towards the courtyard again.

Not to mention a sword that has no murderous aura, even if the people inside really want to kill him, he has to try.

Even if he really died here, he had to ask this person to save Ye Dong.

This time, the sword did not appear again, so Ye Qiu walked into the courtyard.

He had barely entered the courtyard when the door to the hut opened.

It was pitch black in the room, and nothing could be seen.

Then a voice came: "I didn't kill you, it's because the Oriental Academy has a genius, if you go any further, I don't mind that old guy nagging me every day." ”

Ye Qiu still walked forward, not even slowing down, and said at the same time: "If the seniors don't want to see the juniors, they won't open the door." ”

The room was silent, and after a long time, there was a loud laugh, which made Ye Qiu stunned.

The voice laughed, and said, "Interesting, little one, if you can walk through this door, I will go with you to save people." ”

Ye Qiu didn't speak, but walked towards the wooden house.

He walked to the door and raised his foot to cross the threshold, but before his foot landed, the whole person flew up directly, directly hitting a plum tree, and the plum blossoms flew in an instant.

Ye Qiu got up from the ground and walked towards the wooden house again.

This time, his feet finally hit the ground and flew out again.

He got up again and continued to walk towards the house.

He kept walking to the house, flying out, then getting up and continuing to walk towards the house, and flying out again......

Each time he could advance a little bit better than the last time, but he would fly out farther, and by the time he flew out again, blood was already spilling from the corners of his mouth, but he still didn't give up.

Then he didn't know how many times he flew in and out like this, and finally he didn't fly out again.

When he entered the room, he saw that it was small, smaller than it looked from the outside, but it had very few furnishings, so it looked a little spacious.

In the window seat, there was a small stove, and the charcoal fire in the stove was burning brightly, making a crackling sound from time to time, and the sparks were constantly exploding, and then disappeared into the air.

An old man in sackcloth sat by the fire, holding a book in his hand, and his head was buried in the book.

Because he was sitting under the window, the light shone into the room from behind him, because the room was too dark, so the light was a little dazzling, and Ye Qiu couldn't see his face clearly.

Ye Qiu stopped, clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, senior." ”

The old man put down the book and nodded.

What he did just now was not because he really wanted to drive Ye Qiu away, but because Ye Qiu had received a lot of injuries in the successive battles, especially after devouring the sword spirit, there was a lot of violent sword qi accumulated in his body.

Although that light helped Ye Qiu recover from his injuries, it was only an external injury, but this internal injury could not be recovered, otherwise the dean would not have been lying in bed for a month.

Ye Qiu naturally knew his physical condition better than anyone else, but Ye Dong's life was on the line, and he was eager to save people, so he ignored it.

The old man's shot just now, although it seemed to be driving Ye Qiu away, was actually helping Ye Qiu dispel the sword qi in his body, of course, if Ye Qiu couldn't bear it, he didn't mind Ye Qiu leaving like this.

In that way, he also explained to his friends, and he could save a lot of trouble, in his opinion, saving people is a very troublesome thing, even more troublesome than fighting with a few masters.

Ye Qiu hugged his fists again and said, "Please also ask the seniors to be merciful and save my sister." ”

The old man didn't speak, but he raised his eyes to look at Ye Qiu, and he still didn't speak after watching for a long time.

The room fell silent for a moment, except for the sound of a charcoal fire, which was extremely strange.

Ye Qiu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and was just about to speak, but the old man said first: "It's not impossible for me to save people, it's just that it's ......"

He paused, as if he didn't know what to ask Ye Qiu to do.

Ye Qiu said: "As long as the seniors save the little sister, no matter what the seniors ask the juniors to do, the juniors will never shirk." ”

The old man said disdainfully: "You are a little spirit master, what can you do for me?"

Ye Qiu was stunned, indeed, the old man in front of him, at least above Lingzun, if such a strong man couldn't do something, how could he Ye Qiu do it?

The old man got up and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to save people first, and as for the future, you kid may really be able to help me do something." ”

Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly clenched his fists, and said gratefully: "Thank you seniors." ”

The old man had already walked over, Ye Qiu could only stand aside, and then follow the footsteps of the old man, not too close, not too far, showing both respect for the old man and his own courage.

When he walked out of the cabin, the old man stopped, looked at the broken plum blossoms in the yard, and sighed, "It's a pity." ”

Ye Qiu didn't say anything more.

He knew that the older a person was, the more eccentric his temper became, and he had learned this many times from the old man in the technical building.

In case his words make this old man unhappy, he will be beaten by him, and it will be a big matter if no one saves Ye Dong.

Then Ye Qiu found that behind him, there was actually a sword, and this sword followed him all the time, to be precise, following the old man in front of him.

The reason why he could feel this sword was only because he had just devoured the sword spirit, and he had a strong sense of weapons like swords, and he didn't need to look at him to know that this sword was the one that forced him out just now.

Outside the courtyard, the old woman and the middle-aged man were still standing in the snow, as if they were looking this way.

After the old man stopped, he didn't continue to walk forward, but turned to look at Ye Qiu.

Then the long sword behind Ye Qiu crossed Ye Qiu's body and flew in front of the old man.

The old man smiled and said, "Your spirit beast is very peculiar, I haven't seen it before, if I guess correctly, you should be able to fly in the sky, right?"

Ye Qiu nodded.

When the old man saw Ye Qiu nodding, he was obviously stunned, but it was only for a moment, and Ye Qiu couldn't see anything.

It was only now that Ye Qiu could see the old man's face clearly.

The old man was very old and thin, with a small goatee on his chin, but whiter than snow, and his nose was large and red, almost bigger than his mouth.

Ye Qiu had never seen someone with such a big nose, let alone someone with such a small mouth.

But his face showed nothing, just pleading and anxious.

The old man continued: "If you can catch up with me, I will help you save people, if you can't catch up, I am just about to leave the Oriental Academy, you can go to someone else." ”

He didn't wait for Ye Qiu to react, the light of the long sword in front of him flashed, and it had already risen into the sky, and his body also rose from the ground, standing on top of the sword body, bringing up a streamer, and the whole person disappeared directly into the sky.

Ye Qiu frowned, a pair of wings flicked off behind him, and his body also brought a streamer, flying in the direction of the old man's departure.

He flapped his wings to the extreme, and almost all of his strength was used in flying, he was really afraid that he would not be able to catch up with this old man, and he was really afraid that this old man would really let go and leave.

By the time the two of them appeared in the outer courtyard at the same time, Ye Qiu was already sweating profusely, and it was extremely difficult for him to even breathe.

He had never been so tired before, whether he was fighting or fighting, and he had never thought that flying alone could be so tiring.

When the old man fell to the ground, the sword hovered aside, looking very quiet, and even well-behaved.

Ye Qiu had rarely seen such a weapon before, and naturally he never thought that there would be such a weapon in this world, and the weapon he had seen was powerful, it should be the flying knife of the old man in the technical building.

But the flying knife itself has it, in fact, there is nothing special, but in the hands of the old guy, it looks very powerful.

But the sword in front of him was different, this sword was not only spiritual, but also very lethal, and he could feel it when he pushed open the courtyard door.

This sword is somewhat similar to the one he devoured.

Ye Qiu didn't put away his wings, he was afraid that the old man would suddenly take the sword and leave.

The old man looked at Ye Qiu, who was gasping for breath but did not relax at all, and said with a smile: "Even if it is a strong Lingzun, few can catch up with me, you kid is good, really good." ”

Ye Qiu still didn't speak, firstly because he was too tired, and secondly, he didn't know what to say at all.

Then Ye Qiu realized that the place where he was standing was the place where he left, but the door was open, Ye Dong was not in the house, and the little girl was not there.

So where did they go?

Ye Qiu was puzzled, but two figures fell from the sky, it was Liu Sheng and Su Jin, as soon as these two fell, they bent down and saluted the old man with a big nose.

The old man just waved his hand and said to Ye Qiu, "What about the person you want to save?"

Ye Qiu naturally didn't know where Ye Dong had gone, and looked at Liu Sheng and Su Jin who had just appeared.

When the two of them looked at him, he explained: "They went to the back to see you break through, it should be almost there at this moment." ”

Sure enough, Ye Dong and Lingling soon appeared in sight, and their steps were very fast, and the little girl was simply running.

Ye Dong rushed directly to Ye Qiu, looking Ye Qiu up and down, although he had a lot to say in his heart, he just asked, "Brother, are you okay?"

Ye Dong shook his head with a smile and looked at the little girl on the side.

The little girl also looked at Ye Qiu, her big black jewel-like eyes full of mist.

The old man with the big nose smiled and said, "You brothers and sisters are really interesting, they are both dying, and they are still worried about the safety of others." ”

After saying this, he suddenly looked at Lingling with a pair of feet, and then walked up quickly, looking extremely excited.
