"Shh As the door was pushed open.

An old man with gray temples made a silent gesture towards Chu Qingxiao.

Chu Qingxiao, who was about to explain his intentions, was stunned, and before the words came out, the old man mysteriously pulled Chu Qingxiao into the courtyard.

Then under the instruction of the other party, gently, tiptoed through the front yard, and when passing the main house, the old man bent down again, deliberately looked back at Chu Qingxiao, and signaled him to do so.

Chu Qingxiao didn't figure out the situation at all, but he could only subconsciously follow the old man's pace, bent down, and carefully walked through the main house.

Along the way, he carefully observed the condition of the old man's residence, the small courtyard is quite spacious, although there is no luxurious decoration, but the grass and trees planted in the courtyard, as well as the cleaned courtyard, make the whole courtyard look chic.

It's just that the only thing that makes Chu Qingxiao a little strange is that in the courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, there are several depressions that seem to have been smashed open by some heavy objects, and the eaves, doors and windows of the houses around the courtyard are also slightly damaged, some have been repaired, but some have not yet had time to be repaired.

Although it is a little strange, but to be able to have such a not small courtyard in this Tianhang City, where every inch of land is valuable, I think that this old man's family background should also be considered solid, and there will probably be no more bastards like Lu Sandao who relied on his debts.

Thinking of these, Chu Qingxiao followed the old man into a firewood room on the west side of the courtyard, and after entering the door, the old man turned around slowly and locked the firewood door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Chu Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

He looked at the old man, and finally had time to look at the client of the task.

It was indeed a very old man, with a slightly thin body, gray hair, and a furrow face, but he was full of energy and did not look old.

Chu Qingxiao respectfully saluted the other party, and then said, "Senior Sun, I am from Qinghuan Mansion, and I will help you return the sword to the Yaoguang Sword Pool." ”

Chu Qingxiao's voice was not too loud, but he did not deliberately lower it.

But as these words came out, the old man's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Chu Qingxiao with wide eyes, looking both stunned and annoyed.

Of course, Chu Qingxiao also felt this, and was about to ask.

Zheng!

But at this moment, a low sound of sword roaring suddenly came from outside the door.

"Keep your head down!" The old man said to Chu Qingxiao at this time.

Chu Qingxiao hadn't figured out the situation yet, but after hearing the sound, he subconsciously bent down.

Rumble!

At this time, I heard a muffled sound, and a cold light blasted open the doors and windows in front of me.

Broken doors and windows.

The sword qi was vertical and horizontal, the cold light fell into the door, and the rolling sword qi was affected at that time, Chu Qingxiao's heart trembled, and the moment he sensed the danger, the Shura realm suddenly opened, and the Linyuan sword behind him was unsheathed, and he was about to confront that cold light.

And at this moment, the old man in front of him dodged, blocking between Chu Qingxiao and the cold light.

Hanguang seemed to be worried, and the offensive stalled, and the sword qi that was sweeping in the door of the room quickly converged.

The moment he felt the dangerous information dissipated, the Shura Realm also converged, and Chu Qingxiao also looked at the cold light at this time, and his eyes suddenly became strange.

The so-called cold light was a snow-white sword.

The sword body is slender and unremarkable, and there is a red sword spike hanging from the wooden hilt, which seems to be some years old, and the sword spike is faintly white.

At this moment, it hovered in mid-air, and the blade of the sword was still trembling slightly, as if it was venting some emotion.

"You heard me wrong, he meant to pick me up and go to watch the ceremony when the Yaoguang Sword Pool opened in three months. Take a look at the grand occasion of the younger disciples taking swords. The old man looked at the sword hovering in front of him, and spoke softly, as if comforting a child.

Chu Qingxiao blinked, this scene was somewhat strange.

And the old man who said this looked back at Chu Qingxiao behind him, and squeezed his eyebrows at him: "Did you say that?" ”

Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, although his heart was strange, he still nodded sensibly at this time.

The long sword hovering in front of them seemed to really understand human speech, and at that moment it stopped trembling slightly, and then fell gently, and was caught by the old man's hand.

Chu Qingxiao's eyes widened as he watched all this, although it happened in front of him, it still made Chu Qingxiao feel a little incredible.

He looked at the old man and was about to ask a question, but the old man made another silent gesture towards him.

Chu Qingxiao was stunned, but with Fang Cai's experience, he still had a heart and closed his voice at that time.

Then he followed the old man with the sword in both hands and walked into the main house.

The furnishings in the main house are simple, and there are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls on both sides, although Chu Qingxiao doesn't know much about these elegant things, but he can see that these calligraphy and paintings are simple, and there are obvious biases in some places, it doesn't seem to be the kind of thing that comes from everyone's hands, but it is more like the product of the old man's self-entertainment.

In the center of the main house, in the most conspicuous position, is placed on a sword holder, on which a scabbard is placed.

Chu Qingxiao watched as the old man carefully put the unsheathed sword back into the scabbard, and then gently stroked the sword body, as if to appease the other party. Only then did he glance at Chu Qingxiao, exited the main house with Chu Qingxiao, and closed the door again.

Chu Qingxiao was a little stunned during the whole process, and then the old man stretched out his hand and pointed outside the house, and said to Chu Qingxiao in a very low voice: "Say it outside." ”

……

There was a musty smell in the shanty, and the light was dim.

Meng Jin, who was sitting on a simple wooden bench, looked at everything in the shantytown, the things inside were simple, some clothes and sundries were piled together, wrapped in oilcloth and placed in the corner, and there was a small bed made of a few woods on the side, although the bedding on it was still clean, it was still a little damp in such a dark environment.

The only thing that surprised Meng Jin was that even under such harsh conditions, Zhu Renzhao still found a sword holder out of nowhere, and placed a very ordinary-looking sword on the desk next to the bed, and it seemed that this thing was the only thing in the whole room that was carefully placed and guarded.

"That's the sword I used when I was younger, and I haven't taken it out in a long time." Zhu Renzhao seemed to notice Meng Jin's gaze and said at this time.

Meng Jin came back to her senses and looked at the other party, but saw that the other party brought a teacup, put it in front of Meng Jin, and then poured her a glass of water.

As if he was worried that Meng Jin had some concerns, he hurriedly said: "This cup is newly bought, we have never used it, the girl can rest assured." ”

For someone like him who is in the mud, he understands what others think of him, so he is more cautious.

Meng Jin nodded, but he didn't think much about it, he took a sip of water from the cup, and immediately looked at the other party, but saw Zhu Renzhao limping around and putting the teapot aside.

Only then did she realize that Zhu Renzhao's leg was lame.

Probably also felt Meng Jin's gaze, Zhu Renzhao smiled at it: "A few years ago, I received a commission from the inner disciples in Qinghuan Mansion to deal with evil demons, and I was injured by the other party, and most of this foot was wasted, and since then, I can only accept some simple commissions and barely survive." ”

Meng Jin nodded when he heard this, the man said lightly, but Meng Jin could feel the blow to him from this matter. But after all, she was just an outsider and couldn't help too much, so she didn't ask much, but went straight to the point: "Uncle Zhu, can you tell me about Ling Gongzi's situation?" ”

Meng Jin's heart was a little strange, not because of anything else, but this Zhu Renzhao's current situation seemed to be very embarrassing, but under such conditions, he was able to take out two hundred spirit iron jade to let people help persuade his son.

The embarrassing situation and generous shot inevitably made Meng Jin feel suspicious.

Zhu Renzhao sighed when he heard this, and at this time, he explained the situation at home one by one.

He was originally from Sayue Town, Cangzhou, and followed his brother to Tianhang City to practice kendo in his early years.

The brother died for some reason, and he was left here alone, thinking that he could enter the inner gate and live a good life from then on, but he was not talented enough, and he tried for several years, but he did not pass the selection of the inner door.

Later, he was disheartened, and he also met a woman who was also unwilling, and gave birth to the current young man - Zhu Quan.

The husband and wife relied on receiving tasks in Qinghuan Mansion, although their lives were poor, but they were quite happy, and they thought that the husband and wife would work harder, earn more spiritual iron jade, and buy more pills for Zhu Quan to practice.

With such thoughts, the husband and wife worked very hard.

But in a commission to help the inner gate deal with the disciples of the Demon Gate, Zhu Renzhao was injured in the leg, and his wife died on the spot to protect him.

At that time, Zhu Quan was only ten years old, and after this incident, Zhu Quan's temperament changed greatly, although his talent was not good in the past, he was still hardworking, and the husband and wife were also very pleased with this.

But since then, he has gradually abandoned kendo and fooled around with a group of fox friends every day.

And the money he worked so hard to save to buy pills for Zhu Quan was also used by Zhu Quan to spend indiscriminately with his fox friends and dogs.

Zhu Renzhao thought of many ways, but he didn't make his son change his mind, so he issued a commission in Qinghuan Mansion, wanting to ask someone to help his son get back on track.

After saying this, Zhu Renzhao looked at Meng Jin a little nervously and asked, "Does the girl have a way?" ”

"Don't hide it from the girl, there have been many people before, whether it is known with affection or reason, my little rabbit cub doesn't listen, it's like a demon......"

Zhu Renzhao asked, his face was full of expectation, and his eyes were a little red.

And Meng Jin, who knew the whole story, also frowned, she thought seriously for a while, and then looked at Zhu Renzhao and said with some hesitation: "There is a way, my brother has had such a situation in the past, but ......"

"Girl! As long as I can get my child back on track, anything can be done, you can do it with confidence! Zhu Renzhao said at this time, looking excited.

Seeing this, Meng Jin stood up, clenched his hands into fists, slammed them on his chest, and said, "Then uncle is waiting for my good news at home." ”

"Relax your heart."

"In the past few days, Ling Gongzi, I'm afraid I won't have time to go home."
