In the evening, two young sword cultivators came to Baihong Town.

They are a man and a woman, black and blue, all dressed lightly, and there are no extra restraints on their bodies.

Li Mengzhou is more accustomed to wearing dark clothes, and Xiao Zhinan's clothes seem to only have two colors, red and blue.

"This Baihong Town is also a place of outstanding people, although the place is not big, but it is as prosperous as a big city, and it is only a few steps, and it has already passed by many cultivators. ”

If you don't know the depth, it's hard to tell whether these cultivators are from the mountain gate or the mountain field, but if they are a little older, but their cultivation is only below the three realms, they are real mountain and field monks, because there can't be such weak cultivators in the mountain gate except for those younger disciples.

Li Mengzhou looked at the situation on the streets of Baihong Town, and said with some expectations in his heart: "This atmosphere should be very attractive to craftsmen, but anyone who has some ability will not choose to settle in the big city, and in addition to the mountains, only this kind of town is the most popular." ”

Even craftsmen need to cultivate their sentiments, and they need a relatively quiet and harmonious abode, which is also the preferred choice of some reclusive people.

And Xiao Zhinan's attention was obviously not on Li Mengzhou's body, she suddenly stopped, stared straight in one direction, and said softly: "There are masters." ”

Although there are many cultivators in Baihong Town, at present, no monks from the threshold of the Four Realms have appeared in front of them, and at this moment, hearing Xiao Zhinan's words, Li Mengzhou immediately followed her gaze.

In front of a teahouse called 'Dark Incense' sat an old man on the side of the street, dressed very plainly, no different from ordinary people, the only difference was that the old man looked energetic, not as old as he was.

But being energetic is also relatively speaking, and when Li Mengzhou's gaze swept over, he could also vaguely detect a touch of melancholy in the old man's eyes.

Apparently there is something lurking in his heart, an old man with a story.

Of course, the elderly will have stories, from birth, to being able to walk, go to school, or going out to earn money because of the family at a young age, to starting a family with a weak crown, raising children and grandchildren, and watching children and grandchildren become families, it is a story that is difficult to tell easily.

But this is the story of ordinary old people in the world, although it is just a simple glance, but Li Mengzhou feels that the story of the old man in front of him should be different.

It's a subconscious feeling.

Xiao Zhinan's expression was very solemn, she walked straight towards the old man, the last flower sword was clenched by her, and there was a faint sword intent.

Li Mengzhou was a little surprised, Xiao Zhinan obviously entered the state of preparation directly, in other words, she was going to fight!

Although I think that the old man is not simple, but after all, he is an old man, how can he draw his sword as soon as they meet.

Li Mengzhou hurriedly followed.

But being able to make Xiao Zhinan just glance at it, he directly had the urge to draw his sword, which shows that the old man must not be an ordinary person, at least after walking out of the capital, it is the first time that Xiao Zhinan has done this.

Looking at the old man up close, it is really not much different from an ordinary old man, although he is sitting, he is obviously not short, and there is no sign of a hunched back, in addition to the melancholy in his eyes, there are also essences coming out from time to time, and he is definitely not a character to provoke.

Temperament is one thing, but the old man's behavior is indeed the same as that of ordinary old people, like he is tired of walking, resting on the spot, and the people in the teahouse are not driven away, after all, he does not sit directly at the gate of the house.

There were several boys and girls who were still wearing open crotch pants playing with each other, and circling around the old man, and the old man also showed a very kind appearance, looking at them with a smile, and said in a panic, "Don't run so fast, be careful of falling!"

Just as he was only concerned about the safety of those children who were playing, his vision was suddenly obscured by a shadow, and he squinted his eyes and looked up to see a young girl with a sword.

The girl holding the sword was of course Xiao Zhinan, she looked at the old man with a very cold expression, bowed her hand, and said, "Please teach the seniors." ”

The old man looked at her in confusion.

Li Mengzhou also came to the front at this time, and said to the old man with a smile: "I'm sorry. ”

Immediately, he tugged at Xiao Zhinan's sleeve, lowered his voice and said, "You are too straight to the point, it is straightforward to say that it sounds good, and it is difficult to say that there is something wrong with the brain." Why is it that you are fighting and killing at every turn, and you have to be polite and say hello. ”

Xiao Zhinan also listened to Li Mengzhou's suggestion, saluted the old man again, and said, "Hello senior, please give me advice." ”

Li Mengzhou: "......"

Old man: "......"

So it's just a simple addition of the word 'good'?

The old man said happily at this time: "I don't understand anything, old man, what do you want to teach?"

Xiao Zhinan Zhengse said: "You are a cultivator, this is enough. ”

The old man smiled but said nothing.

He looked at Xiao Zhinan with a little interest, the first time they met, just because he was a cultivator, he had to draw his sword and fight, it was indeed a very interesting thing.

"There are many cultivators in Baihong Town, why did the little girl find the old man and me?"

"Because you are different from them, the sword in my hand is only unsheathed against the strong. ”

"Old man, I'm a strong man in your eyes?"

"At the very least, you are the strongest among the cultivators I have seen in this White Rainbow Town, and I have a feeling that maybe you are one of the truly strong people I have ever seen in my life. ”

The old man smiled and said, "The real strong man...... There is no absolute strong man in the world, born or destroyed, or surpassed by those who come after, who can really sit on the name of the strong. ”

Xiao Zhinan frowned and said: "There are many strong people in the world, even if he is defeated one day, it cannot be denied that he was once a strong man." ”

The old man sighed with emotion: "The defeated strong man is no longer a strong man, just a poor scrap of firewood." ”

Li Mengzhou suddenly said at this time: "Could it be that the predecessors were defeated by others, so they gave up on themselves and survived in this Baihong Town? ”

The old man's eyes were slightly cold, and he glanced at Li Mengzhou deeply, and then said with a smile: "You two little guys are sword cultivators?"

Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan nodded.

They have no doubts, if the old man is really a strong cultivator, he can see that they are sword cultivators, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

"Sword cultivation is very good. The old man sighed and said: "With the sword immortal of the Western Jin Dynasty, the declining sword gate will still have a chance to climb the peak one day, but I don't know if I will be lucky enough to see that scene." ”

Xiao Zhinan said: "I don't care if my predecessors are strong or not, but I ask my seniors to give me a sword." ”

Finally met an existence that made the last flower sword feel excited, Xiao Zhinan would definitely not let go of this opportunity, her right hand held the hilt of the end flower sword, and there was a sonorous sound, and the end flower was out of the sheath.

The old man waved his hand to the boys and girls who were watching curiously, and said with a smile: "Let's all go play." ”

The children, of course, didn't have that much on their minds, and soon they were playing again.

The old man said: "There are many cultivators in Baihong Town, and it is not uncommon for them to occasionally fight in the streets, although the town guard has never paid attention to this, but it is also because those cultivators are very knowledgeable about the rules, no matter how they solve their grievances, they will not implicate ordinary people." ”

"If you're going to draw a sword, then change places. ”

This is also the old man's disguised consent to this matter, Xiao Zhinan naturally will not refuse, follow the old man, and walk towards a place where he doesn't know.

The old man did not go out of the town, but walked slowly down the street.

Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan could only follow behind without a sound.

The old man walked really slowly, as if he was really a late old man.

From time to time, he would wave and greet acquaintances he met, like an old man in the family taking his grandchildren out for a walk.

But Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan did not lose patience because of this, and followed closely behind the old man, as if they were worried that the old man would fall or be knocked down, and guarded them wholeheartedly.

Fortunately, the old man did not keep going, and when the road became scarce, he turned and entered an alley.

Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan followed suit.

At the end of the narrow alley is a relatively empty place, which is obviously inhabited by people, and there are small courtyards of blue bricks and gray tiles nearby, many of which are slightly dilapidated and very quiet.

The old man turned his back to Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan, looked around, and said: "This is a dilapidated alley, as the name suggests, it is very dilapidated, originally there were still many people living there, but as Baihong Town became more and more prosperous, those who earned a little bit of silver moved out, and the people who still live here are lonely old people like me, but at this hour, they should all be asleep, and they can't make any noise with them." ”

Li Mengzhou obediently stood next to watch the play.

And Xiao Zhinan held the sword of the last flower and said, "Please teach your seniors." ”

The old man turned around and said with a smile: "Little girl, you seem to only say this, or not, the old man, I have indeed not been active for a long time, and I have exercised before dinner." ”

"Get out of your sword. ”

Xiao Zhinan frowned and said, "What about the sword of the seniors? Or the seniors don't use swords, but they should always have weapons." ”

The old man shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't remember where I threw the sword, and it's very troublesome to find it now, so let's do it, little girl, even if you use the sword, you don't have to worry about killing me, an old man, with a sword." ”

Xiao Zhinan didn't say anything more, she took a step forward, and the last flower sword was handed out, "Offended." ”

As the last sword was handed out, the sword intent soared.

There is a rainbow piercing the night sky.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Good sword." ”

As he spoke, he slowly raised his right palm, grabbed the body of the sword of the last flower in the air, and firmly bound it between his palms.
