Kyushu Continent, Shencang Sword Mountain.

The old man who had already set foot in the realm of the Sword Saint sat on the hilt of a stone sword that reached the sky and the earth at the peak of Sword Mountain, looked up at the boundless sky, and said slowly: "Counting the time, it's time to come back." ”

As soon as the words fell, a touch of light at the end of the canopy instantly magnified, and then a blue light was revealed, and a sloppy man in a black robe appeared at the end of the blue light.

The man was very happy, and the cheering and casual voice reached the ears of the old man with the stone sword handle through the sword qi around the side of the green light.

The old man frowned slightly, the look of anticipation dissipated, and the corners of his mouth were almost pulled out of the crane-haired and childish face.

"Master, I'm back!"

Cheng Yikang jumped down from the Qingfeng sword, shook his fingers, and the long sword returned to its sheath by itself as if it had a spirit.

Sloppy, he stood behind the old man and clenched his fists respectfully.

"Your kid is also very good at this swordsmanship now?" The old man did not look back, and sighed softly.

"That's all taught by you, Master."

"Well, yes, yes, I've learned to be a low-key person in the past few months of traveling in Kyushu."

"Yes, that's all taught by you."

"Ahem."

I always say that the teacher teaches well, and it's okay to teach it once or twice, but if it is more, it seems a little deliberate.

However, the old man couldn't help but praise, and after listening to it twice, he turned around lightly with his long beard, thinking about how much he had to respond to his closed disciple who was sent to Sword Mountain at the age of eight.

But when he turned around, his face was calm and slightly happy, and his jaw dropped in shock.

His only closed disciple had only been seen for a few months, and he had become a middle-aged man with a gray face, and his long beard showed the vicissitudes of life.

The old man suddenly had tears in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "You are only in your early twenties, but in these eight months, you are more than ten years old. ”

"Well, that's all your ......"

Cheng Yikang was just about to continue to slap the horse, when he suddenly felt a sinking on his shoulders.

The old man pressed a pair of large hands on his shoulders.

"Months of travel, Kangkangyou...... Tired. ”

The old man, who was saddened by guilt, spoke earnestly and sniffled unnaturally.

Suddenly, a strange smell from nowhere pierced the tip of my nose, comparable to the musty smell of the house returning after the hot summer rain.

Suddenly, the old man thought of something, and the whole figure teleported, retreating to the other end of the hilt of the giant sword.

"Cheng Yikang!" The old man's face sank instantly, and the only little green silk between the white hair was gone.

"Master, you ...... It's old again......" Cheng Yikang noticed that the only remaining green silk turned white, and said with concern.

“……”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and the next second the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, "Go to the bath for the old man!" If you don't wash it, don't come to see the old man! ”

"Gotcha, gotcha!"

The flying sword overshadowed the old man's anger through the wind, and the musty and sour smell dissipated a lot.

The old man turned his back, and his disgusted sadness gradually stretched a lot.

Streaming down......

Just when the old man wanted to be quiet, the sound of the flying sword that had just disappeared through the breeze reappeared.

The old man's brows furrowed into three words for less than half a second, and he shouted in a deep voice: "What are you doing again?" ”

"What's the matter, Senior Brother has just stepped into the Sword Saint Primal Realm, and he is already unsightly?"

The charming and slightly playful woman's voice came from behind the old man, and the old man's tightly knit brows stretched completely for a moment, cleared his throat, and said in a straight voice: "It turned out to be the senior sister of the hugqin, I thought it was Kangkang's boy." ”

"Oh, little Yikang has already returned from Qinghe Prefecture."

At the end of the handle of the boulder sword, the girl in the purple dress held the long qin in her arms, leaned on the old man and sat down, and moved slightly unhurriedly, deliberately sticking tighter.

"Hmm...... Kang Kang just returned. The old man closed his eyes and said calmly: "But junior sister, don't you feel embarrassed that you are so close to me?" ”

"Embarrassing what?"

The girl took the old man's arm, bit her finger and said, "The granddaughters who love their grandfather are all accompanied by their grandfather like this." ”

Grandfather? Granddaughter?

I treat you as a junior sister, and you treat me as a grandfather.

"Okay, okay, whatever the junior sister says, it's what it is." The old man shook his head, as if he had a headache for the girl, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only sigh slightly.

"This should be the first time my sister has come to the giant sword since she became a saint, let's talk about it, what's wrong?"

The girl who was pierced by a word had a slightly red face, and said shyly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that recently, the Shencang King doesn't know what nerves to have, and the price of some basic medicinal materials has been raised." ”

The old man suddenly understood, pulled away the arm that was held by the girl, and said righteously: "If you have money, senior brother doesn't have any money." ”

"How can Senior Brother have no money?"

If you don't hold your arm, then get closer, the girl stared at her round eyes and said with a smile: "Then senior brother, I won't borrow money, I want to take an apprentice." ”

Apprentices......

The old man stopped talking, got up suddenly, and quickly took out a heavy bag of broken silver from his arms and threw it to the girl's lap.

Yi Yi reluctantly said: "This is the senior brother's private money, take it to buy medicinal materials for alchemy." ”

"No, I still want to take in an apprentice."

Suddenly, the girl looked up at the unreachable sky, and there was a determined look in her eyes.

The old man's face was extremely ugly, and he dismantled the stage and said: "Senior Sister Huqin, the standard for accepting apprentices you can't find in the entire Shencang, let alone other places in the eight states." ”

"And it's not that Senior Brother said, Senior Sister, you are more than one hundred and ninety years old, if the Sword Saint Realm can't reach the cultivation of the Second Sword Emperor before the age of two hundred, your Shouyuan will come to an end, why don't you really find an apprentice to make do?"

"Senior brother!" Hearing this, the girl pulled the corners of her mouth, sighed lightly, and when she stood up, she picked up the money bag on her leg and put it into the space ring, "My request for accepting apprentices is already very simple." ”

Simple?!

The old man was stunned, he vaguely remembered what this delicate and lovely one hundred and eighty-five-year-old girl said when Cheng Yikang was a closed disciple thirteen years ago.

The disciple of her holding the Qin Sword Saint can only be an absolute sword genius who is unique in ten thousand, and it is best to be able to lightly lift the three-foot sword in his hand at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and cut off a mansion with one sword, a peerless sword learning genius!

Someone like that...... I'm afraid that only the boy who destroyed the world 100,000 years ago recorded in ancient books can do.

But the boy was not human.

The old man looked into the distance, stunned.

Suddenly, a mighty sword aura rushed towards his face.

The sword intent is pure, and it seems to coexist with the wind.

"What is this?"

"Senior brother! It is the direction of Qinghe State! ”

The girl's eyes were full of surprise, and she jumped, the sword intent under her feet turned into shape, and a red sword appeared at her feet.

The old man frowned, "Senior sister, what are you going to do here?" ”

"Go and collect the apprentices!"

The red sword carried the girl in the pale green skirt robe, and there was no trace of the smoke.

"This ,......" the old man shook his head and turned around.

He couldn't control his junior sister who had already stepped into the peak realm of the Sword Saint.

All he can manage is his own private money......

Wait, private money?!

"Senior sister! You're going to take in apprentices, why did you take away your brother's money bag! ”
