Ye Xiang was secretly surprised, he didn't even notice how this old man appeared, as if he suddenly popped out.

The herring suddenly broke free, and the old man dropped the stone knife and hurriedly reached out to catch it, but the fish was too slippery, and he was in a hurry.

"I still want to run."

The old man threw himself on the ground and rolled all over the dust, before he caught the herring fish, grinned, and showed a golden front tooth, "Haha, look where you run, a little fish, and want to run away from me, don't even think about it, I'll stew you later." ”

Seeing this scene, Ye Xiang put away his original thoughts and shook his head slightly, maybe this old man was on the side of the door just now, and he just didn't notice that he walked to the door.

Mo Yang looked at it, "Ah Xiang, let's go." ”

Ye Xiang nodded, and just as the two of them were about to turn around and leave, the old man's voice came from behind, "You two want to get the assessment quota of the Ninth Order Martial Sect, right?" There are exactly two places in my Heaven Swallowing Martial Palace. ”

Hearing this, Ye Xiang and the others stopped in unison.

"Old man, do you really have two places in the Heaven Devouring Martial Palace?" Mo Yang turned his head and asked.

"Of course, the old man, as the head of the Heaven Devouring Martial Palace, how could he lie to you two boys." The old man's expression was solemn, his waist was straight, one hand was behind him, and the other hand was pinching the half-hundred-hundred-year-old goat's beard, which was a bit of a grandmaster's demeanor.

Ye Xiang and Mo Yang glanced at each other, a little suspicious.

"Huh!" The old man smiled, turned around without saying anything, and walked inside, walking with a rather strange pace, from time to time one step to the left and one step to the right, as if he was a thief moving forward.

"Ah Xiang, look ......" Mo Yang pointed to the road the old man had walked in horror.

Ye Xiang looked in the direction he pointed, and couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that the granite paved road left five or six footprints, each of which was two inches deep, the two glanced at each other, couldn't help but gasp, and then looked at the old man, who had already put away his strange steps and walked forward slowly, without even looking at the two of them.

"Leave a mark in the rock, this is something that only a lower martial artist can do, this old man is actually a lower martial artist...... Mo Yang said in surprise.

"Let's see."

Ye Xiang didn't make an evaluation, for some reason, he always felt a little awkward when he saw these footprints, but he couldn't see anything.

The three of them had already come to the courtyard, the old man stopped, turned his back to Ye Xiang and the others, and suddenly cut horizontally at the small tree in front of him, and with a click, the small tree with thick arms stopped and broke off.

Ye Xiang and the others took a deep breath of cold air.

"The true yuan is released, a hundred zhang wears Yang, and the level of the great martial artist ......"

Mo Yang said excitedly: "It turns out that this old man is a hidden master, Ah Xiang, we have earned it, and we have actually met a hidden master." ”

Looking at the small tree that broke off at the waist, Ye Xiang was also moved, within a hundred zhang, breaking the tree in the air is the lifelong pursuit of all martial arts cultivators.

"I don't know the name of my predecessor." Mo Yang stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Please call me Sword Venerable!"

The old man turned sideways slightly, raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes showed a look of reminiscence, as if he remembered the glorious career of Jin Ge Iron Horse back then, and this appearance showed the demeanor of his predecessors.

"With the sword as the surname, the respect as the name, a good name, only such a name can be worthy of the predecessors." Mo Yang patted the horse a little.

"Haha, little brother's eyes."

"Where, the seniors are like torches."

"The little brother praised it."

"Where, Where, ......"

Listening to the two complimenting each other, Ye Xiang, who was standing on one side, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Old man, I have always accepted apprentices, and I will not accept them if they are not qualified, but in this small Kunshan City, there are too many people with mediocre qualifications, and I have not been able to receive those with excellent qualifications, so I would rather lack than abuse, so that there is no successor to what I have learned." The old man shook his head and sighed.

"So do we meet the criteria for inclusion by our predecessors?" Mo Yang looked at the old man Jianzun nervously.

The old man of Jianzun glanced at Ye Xiang and Mo Yang, and did not speak, but shook his head slightly.

"It's not true, ......," Mo Yang looked disappointed.

"Originally, it didn't match, but the old man fell in love with you, so he reluctantly let you go first to the Heaven Swallowing Martial Palace for a while, if you can't satisfy the old man, then don't blame the old man for driving you away." The old man said.

"Thank you, senior, for taking you in." Mo Yang was excited.

"But ......," the old man waved his hand.

"But what?"

"The old man has been cultivating all year round, and he is not very old, so that this Heaven Swallowing Martial Palace has been dilapidated into this appearance, and he planned to repair it, but he is shy in his pocket." The old man of Sword Venerable said this and spread his hands, "So, as disciples of the Heaven Swallowing Martial Palace, you should make some contributions to the Heaven Swallowing Martial Palace, right?" ”

"How much do you need?" Mo Yang asked.

"Not much, one person and one golden crystal."

"A golden crystal...... Not much......" Mo Yang's face turned blue.

Ye Xiang kept looking at it and didn't speak, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and immediately pulled Moyang.

"Moyang, forget it, let's just find other martial halls."

"Other martial halls...... Ah Xiang, it's hard to say whether we can join other martial arts, even if we join, it's unknown whether we can get the assessment quota, isn't it just two golden crystals, I'll just give it. Mo Yang gritted his teeth and took out two golden crystals.

Ye Xiang was just about to stop it, but the old man of Jianzun had already grabbed it, and his movements were very neat.

"You have made great contributions to our Heaven Swallowing Martial Palace, from now on, you are a member of the Heaven Swallowing Martial Palace, as a disciple, you have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Heaven Swallowing Martial Palace, the old man will go out to find someone to repair this place first, you wait here first, and tomorrow I will teach you the cultivation exercises." The old man of Jianzun patted Mo Yang's shoulder heavily, looking quite important.

"Thank you, Instructor." Mo Yang said excitedly.

"Okay, I'll go out first, you guys will guard our Heaven Swallowing Martial Palace, don't let the idlers and others come to make trouble." After the old man Jianzun finished speaking, without waiting for Ye Xiang and the others to reply, he had already walked out of the courtyard quickly.

Ye Xiang frowned, how to look at it and feel that something was not quite right.

"Ah Xiang, we are so lucky, we met a great martial artist in the hidden world, if this senior can teach us one or two martial arts, not to mention one golden crystal, even ten golden crystals are worth it." Mo Yang was very excited.

The level of martial arts is the same as the exercises, but the value is far more than the exercises, mainly because the number is too small, and the value of the martial arts that are not included in the product is more than five times that of the same grade of exercises.

There is a low-level martial art in the Kunshan City Martial Palace, but it is regarded as the treasure of the town hall, except for the sect head who is qualified to cultivate, the rest of the martial arts cultivators are not qualified.

Ye Xiang didn't speak, but looked at the broken small tree, and after pondering for a moment, he walked over, grabbed the half-broken small tree, looked at the broken gaps on both sides, his brows furrowed even tighter, and suddenly, he saw a transparent line.

If it weren't closer, it would be difficult to see this line clearly, and one end of the line was tied to the top of the small tree, seeing this, Ye Xiang's frowning brows loosened, and he immediately took the broken half and walked to the other half.

"Ah Xiang?" Seeing Ye Xiang's actions, Mo Yang was quite confused.

"We may have been fooled." After Ye Xiang finished speaking, without waiting for Mo Yang to speak, he inserted the half of the tree on it, twisted it slightly, and the break was actually covered by the thick bark, and a complete tree was revealed in front of him, and then he pulled up the transparent line, and tied the other end to the tip of his finger, making it look like the old man of Jianzun waving his hand.

With a click, the tree broke.

Mo Yang was stunned, and his face suddenly became ugly.

Immediately, Ye Xiang quickly returned to that road, the whole road had recovered for some time, after carefully studying for a while, he stepped on it in one step, and his feet suddenly sank, about two inches, and then stepped on the left and right sides, and four footprints appeared, the same is about two inches.

Seeing this, Mo Yang's face turned dark, and his eyes were about to burst into flames, "Bastard dead old man, don't come back if you have the guts, otherwise I will definitely dismantle your old bones." ”

"Old man sword, get out of here."

There was an angry shout from outside the door, and three martial cultivators of the five big and three thick ones rushed into the courtyard, and were stunned when they saw Ye Xiang and Mo Yang with a black face.

"Where's the old man with the sword?"

"We're looking for him." Mo Yang's face darkened, and his fists clenched.

"You're looking for him too?" The martial cultivator at the head seemed to see something, "It seems that you have also been deceived by the old man with the sword." ”

"You've been deceived, too?" Ye Xiang couldn't help asking.

"A while earlier than you, you don't have the luxury of expecting to get the money back, we just inquired, this old man of the sword likes to be abducted and deceived the most, and he is extremely cunning, I don't know how many people have been deceived during this time, and now they are looking for him, this old guy is too slippery, hiding in this North District, changing places every one or two days, it is difficult to find, anyway, there are many vacant stone houses in this North District, he can continue to deceive if he finds one. Don't wait here, he won't come back. The leader of the martial cultivators sighed and left with the two of them.

"Not coming back...... So what to do? Didn't you let this old man deceive in vain? Mo Yang was extremely annoyed.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ye Xiang noticed a short figure peeping outside the courtyard, a six- or seven-year-old child in a somewhat ragged clothes.

"I have a way to find him." After Ye Xiang finished speaking, he beckoned to the child hiding in the corner and took out a silver crystal, the child immediately looked happy and hurriedly ran over.

"That old man told you to stare at us, didn't he?" Ye Xiang asked

"Hmm!" The child nodded.

"How much was given to you?"

"Three copper crystals."

"I'll give you a silver crystal, can you help me find him?"

"No problem."

The child nodded excitedly.

……

At night, the lights of the North District illuminate the passing streets.

A sloppy old man, with a red face, swayed from side to side with a flask, and from time to time sang a few vague tunes in his mouth, and when he was interested, he poured a large sip of old wine into his mouth.

"Those two boys should still be waiting for me in that stone house, I guess I'm not very angry...... The two silly boys ...... "The old man of Jianzun smiled, continued to pour wine, and staggered towards the stone house next to him.

"Have you had fun eating and drinking today?" An indifferent voice came, and Ye Xiang walked out from the side and blocked in front of the old man of Sword Venerable.

"You ......"

The old man of Jianzun was so frightened that he woke up most of the time, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he quickly turned his head, but was blocked by another figure.

"Deceived the two of us Jin Jing, and still want to run?" Mo Yang's forehead was beating, and his fists were pinched together, making a clattering sound.

"That...... This one...... Hehe, two little brothers, I really didn't mean to lie to you. The old man squeezed out a smile.

"What about the two golden crystals? Return it. Ye Xiang stretched out his hand.

"Lost ...... bet"

"Lost?" Mo Yang's eyes were about to erupt with fire.

"I'll pay you back another day, I'll definitely pay you back......" The old man of Jianzun trembled with fright.

"Another day? There is no other day, and I must teach you a lesson today. After Mo Yang finished speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the old man of Jianzun.

"Don't ...... Don't hit me, I have the assessment quota you want, I really have, I will give it to you. Don't do it...... And also...... I tell you another secret, a secret that you can learn martial arts without spending money, at least martial arts above the mortal level. The old man of Jianzun said hurriedly.
