"Thank you for your kindness, the dragon halberd has it. The boss smiled bitterly and bowed his hand to him, but said nothing else.

"We're here to inform you, and if you have any plans, let us know right away. Fu Yunge raised his head, "At this time, none of us can stay out of the matter. ”

"The dragon halberd crisis, and I still have to affect you, I'm really sorry. The head looked at the three people and apologized rather ashamedly.

"Why did the head say this, he has been treated very well these days, and of course he must do his part at such a time. Fu Yunge turned back to the head of the house very disapprovingly.

"Fu Yunge is right. We're not going to let the dragon halberd get into jeopardy. Dongfang Shiming also said.

The master's eyes were a little moist: "This ...... Thank you very much. ”

Outside the temple gate, the night sky was low, and the stars were gradually hidden by floating clouds. Under the mountains, there is silence, but in an unknown corner, a storm is secretly brewing.

............

The next day, the Dragon Halberd Sect was still busy. Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming were thinking about the future in the room, and the two gradually formed a complete clue in the discussion. But because of the lack of evidence, they can't make a conclusion about it, so they can only continue to explore along the lines of thought.

Long Hao finally sent a reply near noon, but the content of the letter was very disappointing. The letter stated that the Great Elder's original retreat had been burned to the ground, and all that remained was ruins. Otherwise, they had no clue about the Great Elder at all.

Su Beizhi instructed Qing Kun to take his disciples to speed up their practice, hide themselves, and not have to meddle in the affairs of the dragon halberd. And he himself coordinates with the head of the family to deal with the pressure of Daozhai, and many other things that come one after another.

Long Xiao and Long Tao practiced in comparison, but Long Tao was absent-minded all day. His mind was full of thoughts about the mysterious old man from last night, and at the same time secretly looking forward to tonight. The events of last night made him think a lot, but there were still many questions, and he wanted to talk to the old man again.

In addition, the second master sent a message saying that he would return to the dragon halberd immediately. Feng Ji has completely broken up, and it is okay for him to stay there, saying that he will be able to come back in the evening. Su Beizhi also had a lot of doubts to ask him, after all, he must know more about being in the phoenix halberd.

Time flies. At night, Long Tao quietly left the mountain gate and went to the pavilion alone.

Walking quickly through the familiar paths and through the bamboo forest, the silhouette of the gazebo comes into view. The old man, however, had arrived much earlier than he had arrived, and was already sitting on the steps of the previous night waiting for him.

"You ......," Long Tao's words were about to come out.

"You don't have to call me, just sit down. The old man waved at him indifferently and continued the conversation with him last night.

Long Tao walked into the pavilion and sat on the stone bench: "After last night, I thought about a lot of things. ”

"Normal. The old man's voice was hoarse, and his voice still came from under the round hat.

"As you said yesterday, my worth is like seed in the jungle during a fire. But, do you mean that the dragon halberd is about to perish?" Long Tao asked rhetorically about what the old man said yesterday.

"Hehe, that's not the case, you have to learn to be flexible. The old man smiled kindly, "I mean, in the eyes of your master, you are like the precious seed that inherits the dragon halberd. ”

The old man said to him slowly: "With you, the dragon halberd will have a future inheritance, and you can die with peace of mind, because you are the hope of the dragon halberd." ”

"It's unreal. I'm still thinking, now that the dragon halberd is in trouble, how can I help?" Long Tao said bluntly, giving up understanding.

The old man did not speak, and quietly listened to the sound of the mountain spring flowing water. He squinted at Long Tao through the gap in his hat and said for a long time, "You can help." It's just that the time hasn't come yet. ”

"Hey, I knew you were going to comfort me like that. Long Tao pouted dissatisfied.

The old man laughed, and his voice was like a crow's cry: "Haha, this is not comfort. If you go back to yesterday, you have to recognize your own value in order to find your place. ”

"Your martial arts are a good hand in the Dragon Halberd Sect. The old man stretched out his withered old hand from under his robe, pointed at him and said, "Not to mention the golden halberd blade, if the situation deteriorates and the dragon halberd has to use force, you are the sharpest halberd tip of the dragon halberd." ”

"Let me do it?" Long Tao seemed to understand a little.

"Hehe, although I have this intention, but it is not only that......" The old man turned to the side and chatted with Long Tao leisurely.

Under the moonlight, the hidden pavilion is mottled with spring bamboo. An old man and a young man, sitting in the empty night, word by word, the colors gradually mixed, intertwined with the haze of the mountains.

The night of the Dragon Halberd Sect, as the lights gradually thinned out, slowly fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, everything was spent in tension as usual. Fu Yunge and Dongfang Shiming found the head of the house to consult some information, and visited the Jade Knife Zhai again with the head and Su Beizhi.

Because the whereabouts of the Great Elder were unknown, the suspicion of the dragon halberd had not been cleared for a long time, and Bai Rong and the disciples were also very cold to the head of the sect. And Bai Rong has also been busy presiding over the affairs of Daozhai these days, so he looks a lot thinner, his face is sallow, and he looks in a bad state.

There was no other way, and after repeatedly apologizing, the head of the family led everyone back to the dragon halberd. And they had just returned to the mountain gate, and the ghost master sent another letter, asking the dragon halberd to consider it carefully.

The meaning of the ghost boss is roughly to agree on the matter of the golden halberd Fengjian. He believes that the opening day of the Golden Halberd Fengjian is close at hand, and the preparations have been long and should not be stopped. The purpose of the letter was to nominally discuss with the dragon halberd whether to open it, and second, to discuss the candidates for the provisional referee seats.

All kinds of matters were pressed on the dragon halberd, and the head of the house was anxious for days, and he felt a little powerless. Long Tao also came to ask about helping, but was politely rejected by the boss. Since the ghost master still wants to open the Golden Halberd Fengjian, Long Tao can't be distracted yet.

At night, Long Tao was alone, and he still went to the pavilion to chat with the old man as usual.

He didn't know who the old man was, but he believed that the old man wasn't a bad person. In the past few days, he has become more and more clear in his heart, and his value has gradually become clear.

............

The next day, the dragon halberd in the early morning was rarely noisy.

The head went out to look, but saw two groups of people visiting at the same time. The disciples of the Ghost Master Sect and the disciples of Daozhai came at the same time, which made him a little unable to come back to his senses for a while.

The jade-faced Rakshasa Halberd disciple didn't seem to expect to be able to meet the Daozhai disciple, and he was very clever behind the Daozhai disciple. The master came down the steps to greet them and invited them into the temple together.

Fu Yunge, Su Beizhi and the others also rushed over early, wanting to see what was going on.

The Daozhai disciple looked very bad. After he sat down, he still looked sad, and when the head saw this, he took the initiative to ask what had happened.

"Our Senior Brother Bai, we have been working hard for the past few days, and finally ...... Fell ill. ”
