The story begins in the middle of a mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is thirty miles away from Huayang City, one of the twelve cities in the Central Plains, and at this time, I saw an old man and a young man running for their lives in the woods.

The young man's name was Rong Tieyi, sixteen years old, young and strong, and his eyebrows were clear, but he couldn't outrun the old man in front of him, who looked like he was over sixty years old.

Chasing after them was a zongzi, a zombie in the mouth of ordinary people.

It had a hideous face, and its whole body was almost rotten and moldy, but its speed was no worse than that of ordinary people in the prime of life.

The young man was so anxious that tears were about to come out, and he shouted to the old man in front of him, "Master, what are you running? You slashed it with a sword! The green dragon came out of the water! Split it! Oh, I'll go!"

The young man glanced back, and saw that the zongzi was actually closer to him, so he didn't dare to speak anymore and lowered his speed, and rushed forward with his mouth closed.

And the old man, named Li Changan, had gray hair but the top of his head was already bald, and his beard was perpendicular to his chest at this time, but it was resting on his neck. Even if he is running for his life like this now, it still gives people the feeling of fairy wind and bones.

And on his back, there was also a sword, and a shovel.

This old man and young man are masters and apprentices, and most people call him a ranger, but although the name is good, it is not a flattering title, because this ranger is doing some work of digging people's ancestral graves.

That's right, it is to dig people's ancestral graves, also known as tomb robbery. But these two people are different from ordinary rangers, they don't go to rob tombs for the sake of robbing tombs, but accidentally dig them up, so they steal them by the way.

The dumplings in the back that chased the atmosphere without breathing were accidentally dug up by them.

At this time, Li Changan suddenly turned his head and glared at Narong Tieyi, and yelled at him, "What, what kind of green dragon is out of the water? You, who the fuck are you?!

Li Changan drew his sword and was about to greet Rong Tieyi, who showed a touch of despair in his eyes, and then quickly ran away, keeping a distance from his master and continuing to flee forward.

These two people are indeed masters and apprentices, but there is a bit of a problem with the master's brain, to put it simply, there is indirect amnesia.

To say that Li Changan does have some skills, he has encountered a lot of zongzi before, and he often made him split it in half with a sword, but when he saw the zongzi turn around and run away like today, Rong Tieyi actually guessed that this old man was sick again.

If you want to say why Rong Tieyi would follow such a master with a sick brain, it has to start from when he was a child.

At that time, Rong Tieyi was still eight years old, and his family went out to fish, and he went to the mountains to play alone, and then he saw this Li Changan dig out a zongzi and split it on the spot. immediately regarded him as an immortal, and then stalked him to accept him as an apprentice, Li Changan ignored him, and he kept following, and this walk was eight years.

Eight years, after eight years, Rong Tieyi regretted it for seven years.

But in the first year, he had already traveled countless mountains and rivers, Rong Tieyi couldn't find his way back, and Li Changan would not go back either.

Thirty miles away from Huayang City, the master and apprentice ran back alive, during which the two kept insulting each other.

Not to mention that the physical strength of this Rong Tieyi is amazing, Li Changsheng, a white-haired old man in his sixties, can also do this, which is really breathtaking.

As for the zongzi, it was still up to the officers and soldiers of Huayang City to deal with it, and at that time, Bai Yu and Bai Lin arrows were directly shot on the city wall, and the master and apprentice and the zongzi were shot into a hornet's nest together.

Today, it can be said that the Xinyan Dynasty is dominant, the Qinling Dynasty in the north is now beaten to the point that it is almost out of breath, and the barbarians in the south are now no longer the invincible force they used to be, and even the land of the Central Plains does not dare to enter now.

The territory of the Xinyan Dynasty includes four states and counties, and each state and county has three important military cities, with more than 200,000 troops, and the three main cities of Liangzhou in Beiping, which are now in the midst of war, are now more than 400,000 troops, which shows the strength of the Xinyan Dynasty.

And this Huayang City is one of the three main cities of Liuli Prefecture, the city wall alone is forty miles long, it is the largest and strongest main city among the twelve cities, and even the Kyoto Tianxiang City where the imperial palace is located cannot be compared.

The master and apprentice not only ran the thirty miles outside Huayang City, but also ran nearly ten miles in this Huayang City. The reason for this is that Li Changan's illness has not ended.

Rong Tieyi was chased by Li Changan for several streets with a scabbard, and he almost died on the ground.

"Lao Tzu asked you to follow me! Is Lao Tzu easy to bully?" Li Changan saw that Rong Tieyi collapsed to the ground and couldn't even speak, and he was inexplicably a little happy in his heart, completely forgetting that he was chased by the extremely ugly-looking zongzi for thirty miles just now.

This Rong Tieyi was so panting that he couldn't speak, but Li Changan was as if he hadn't moved at all, and he hadn't even seen a mouthful of air, which was enough to see his own unknown cultivation.

People who practice martial arts all over the world practice hard for the sake of ascending the path of cultivation, and those who practice martial arts are tempering their muscles and bones, practicing martial arts, and even if they can't step into the path of cultivation, their own physical strength is more than ten times better than that of ordinary people. And like Li Chang'an, at least it can only be done by cultivating people.

Since ancient times, the path of cultivation has been like ascending to the sky, but almost all people who practice martial arts are desperately trying again and again. After all, cultivators are a minority, which also reflects their great value.

However, no matter how strong the cultivators are, such as today's four famous sects, the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, the Valley of Hundred Flowers, the Heavenly Zen Sect, and the Huasheng Temple, no matter how strong they are, they can't be stronger than this huge dynasty.

With millions of troops in the entire dynasty, just using the troops of one city is enough to wipe out all your four famous gates.

After Li Changan left the apprentice Rong Tieyi, who had been forgotten by himself, and gradually walked away, Rong Tieyi slowly stood up with his legs, which had softened into a puddle of mud. He cursed in a low voice and slammed his fist into the stone wall, leaving a deep fist mark.

The prosperity of Huayang City is enough to rank among the top three in the entire Central Plains, and it is also the place where the largest vassal king of the Xinyan Dynasty, King Qiyang, is located.

Although Li Changan didn't have this kind of thought, he dug wherever he went all day long, but Rong Tieyi thought, he didn't want to follow this crazy old man for the rest of his life to do the work of digging people's ancestral graves.

Rong Tieyi has also learned a lot of skills from Li Changan for so many years, but Li Chang'an's eight swords of Xieyang are missing one sword, the Hong family's sixteen fists are missing four punches, and others such as the strong King Kong palm, the black tiger heart-digging fist, etc., are all one or two less styles, and more can be less than half.

You must know that this Jianghu martial arts is broad and profound, and if there is one less style, the power of the whole set of moves will be reduced by more than fifty percent.

For this, Rong Tieyi felt the most headache, so that Li Changan sometimes chased him stupidly and chased him stupidly, but he didn't care too much.

In the evening, Rong Tieyi paid for four buns and squatted on the stone pier outside an inn, his eyes constantly rolling on the passing people.

Li Changan was in the inn, ordered a pot of soju and a roast chicken, not to mention more moisturizing, Rong Tieyi was greedy, but he didn't dare to go to him before confirming that Li Changan had recovered.

At this time, he only thought that he could meet a rich daughter, and beat up the "evil beggar" opposite after a series of handsome movements in the airflip.

That's right, there is also an "evil beggar" opposite him, and the evil beggar mostly refers to those beggars who bully the common people with a little strength, but the evil beggar in Rong Tieyi's eyes is a disgusting beggar.

"What are you looking at?" Rong Tieyi inadvertently glanced at the beggar again.

Hearing this, I almost couldn't help but get up and wanted to teach this guy a lesson, but I endured it again.

The beggar's hair stood up like fried hair, and a cricket could be faintly seen jumping around his head. His clothes were in tatters, a typical beggar, but instead of holding the beggar's iconic rice bowl, he held a wine gourd, and from time to time he took two sips into his mouth, and his dark face was slightly reddened from drinking.

In fact, after reading this beggar, let's take a look at this Rong Tieyi. Holding a half-gnawed bun in his hand, his hair hanging in a mess of branches when he was in the woods, and his face also had the dirt left over from digging graves, he squatted on the side of the street at this time, like two brothers in distress. It's no wonder that beggar dared to keep staring at Rong Tieyi and asking what you are looking at.

As early as ten years ago, there were actually five famous families on the rivers and lakes, and one of them was so powerful that the other four did not dare to offend at all, and that was the beggar gang.

If you want to talk about the number of people, it is that the sum of the four famous families is far from enough, so why is it God's will. Ten years ago, a beggar offended the current emperor during the emperor's private visit, and since then the beggar gang has been removed from the rivers and lakes. It is said that there were more than 3,000 beggars who were arrested and beheaded by the imperial court that year, not counting those who were beheaded first and then played after resisting.

Since then, even people who have become too poor to eat have gone to the mountains to dig wild vegetables have not dared to go into the city to beg for food. There are very few people who stand on the street as brazenly as the beggar.

Faced with the beggar's continued glare, Rong Tieyi chose to tilt his head to the side and ignore it.

Time gradually passed, and the night was late at night, Rong Tieyi was so haggard that the beggar had already fallen asleep on the side of the road.

Rong Tieyi estimated that the master should also recover, so he prepared to carry his drunken master to an inn to rest.

It has always been like this, Li Changan will run to get drunk every time he gets sick, and in the end, Rong Tieyi endured endless drinking and carried back to the inn.

But today it is a little different, Li Changan is gone.

Rong Tieyi stood at the door of the restaurant and was stunned for a long time. There is only one gate in this inn, even if Li Changsheng leaves early, he will not be so daze that he can't see him come out.

Didn't this go upstairs, Rong Tieyi trembled, this restaurant's inn doesn't look cheap, he can bear the wine money, and he can't bear it if he wants to live here.

Rong Tieyi stepped into the inn in three steps and went straight to the counter.

Before the shopkeeper could cast a disdainful look, Rong Tieyi hurriedly asked, "Little brother, but there is a bald old man who just stayed at your inn?"

The shopkeeper was busy settling accounts, and looked up at Rong Tieyi, "I don't seem to have seen it, eh! Where is it called Hanako! No, no! Get out of here!"

Listening to the shopkeeper scolding himself for being called Hanako, Rong Tieyi just wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw the expensive wooden table in this store, it instantly lowered again, and he ran out of the inn in a hurry.

This Li Chang'an's illness is not as bad as drinking, not only does he open his mouth to scold, but he even has to beat people, what kind of place is this, this is Huayang City, the territory of King Qiyang!

As soon as he went out, it began to rain heavily, and the uproar was getting heavier and heavier, Rong Tieyi kicked and woke up the beggar who was sleeping soundly in the heavy rain and ran towards the downtown on the right where Li Changan was most likely to go.

On the one hand, he was worried about his master's trouble, and he was worried about where he was lying in the rain, which was really a good apprentice.

In Huayang City on a rainy night, several black shadows quickly swept over the roof, and behind the black shadows, there was a bald old man in white who was in hot pursuit.

After the two sides chased to a deserted alley, the black shadow stopped instantly, and the three men in black turned to look at the old man who was chasing.

And the person who chased after him was the master that Rong Tieyi was looking for, Li Changan.

Li Changan's face was slightly red, obviously the smell of alcohol had not dissipated.

A black-clothed figure pointed at Li Changsheng and said with a smile, "Li Changan, you waste man still have the courage to chase after you." ”

Li Changan's body trembled slightly, and he said excitedly, "Sure enough, it's you!"

"Hahaha! What if it's me?" the man in black laughed wildly, and his eyes gradually became cold when he looked at Li Changan.

After a brief pause, a violent sword light erupted in the alley, and the thunder was completely hidden in the heavy rain.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was a faint feeling of suffocation, and when Rong Tieyi was running wildly in the rain, he suddenly saw a cyan long sword flying out upside down in the rain and sticking straight in front of him.

Rong Tieyi trembled, he turned his head suddenly, and three black shadows jumped out in an alley in an instant, passed through Rong Tieyi's side and quickly disappeared into the rainy night.

And in that alley, there lay a figure he knew all the most.

"Master!"

Rong Tieyi rushed to Li Chang'an's side and blocked the blood that was constantly oozing from his chest with his own hands.

Every trace of blood seeped out, it was washed away by the rain.

And Li Changan smiled.

"Master. Rong Tieyi's tears mixed with the rain and dripped down his jaw and fell on Li Changan's gray beard.

He wanted to draw his sword and chase him out, but was pulled back by Li Changan.

"I remembered. ”

Li Changan muttered to himself, but he didn't let go of Rong Tieyi's hand at all.

"I remember, Ironcloak, I remember what I'm looking for. ”

Rong Tieyi trembled in a low voice, "Master." ”

He always knew that the master took himself to dig all over the country, never for silver. He was looking for something, something that Rong Tieyi didn't think he could find at all, even if he didn't know what it was.

And today, it seems that the answer can finally be known.

Li Changan, whose life passed little by little, smiled even more relieved, it was not a bitter smile nor a relief of life.

"It turned out that I was looking for a hairpin. But it turns out that I have already placed it on your master's grave. Hahaha, I was so stupid to take you to find it for so many years. ”

Rong Tieyi choked silently and hugged his master tightly.

Li Changan's voice became smaller and smaller, and Rong Tieyi had already put his ear to his mouth.

"Tieyi, don't be sad, you have suffered a lot after following me for so many years, don't think about avenging me, I don't want to take revenge. You, you take my ashes to the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, where there is the lowest mountain, and behind it, there is a mountain cliff, not high, and your master's grave is there. ”

"Master, you'll be fine. ”

Rong Tieyi grabbed Li Changsheng's let go of his hand, pulled it to his back, lifted the cyan long sword, and ran in the rain towards the room where the lights were still on.

Lang Zhong, who was about to close the door, heard a quick knock on the door, and he opened the door, only to see the young man who came in the rain on his back, but on his back was a dead man who had no signs of life.

Li Changan's life was only 60 years, and he walked on the land of the Central Plains for 20 years for a hairpin.
