The sky hangs after the rain.

The streets are clean and clean.

Everything was washed away with yesterday's rain.

"Are you better?" Chu Qingxiao, who was walking side by side with Sun Li on the streets of Tianhang City, looked sideways at Sun Li and asked.

Early in the morning, after finishing a night of practice, Chu Qingxiao came to Sun Li's small courtyard after breakfast.

The original intention was just to visit the old man - after all, when he arrived yesterday, Sun Li was covered in blood and seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, and Chu Qingxiao still kept it in his heart.

However, Sun Li's recovery was surprisingly good, today he was just about to knock on the door, but the courtyard door opened by itself, it turned out that Sun Li was idle, and he was ready to go to the street with the Liaoyuan Sword.

When he saw Chu Qingxiao, the old man was also very surprised, and he couldn't help but pull Chu Qingxiao to the street together.

"It's nothing, but I have some injuries on my hands."

"That little rabbit cub's ability, that's it, if it weren't for the Liaoyuan Sword, I would have beaten him all over the ground yesterday!"

Sun Li moved his hand that was still bandaged with gauze, and the expression on his face was somewhat resentful, obviously a little haunted by yesterday's defeat.

Chu Qingxiao was also very cooperative, nodding yes.

The two walked side by side on the street, chatting one after another.

Although most of what they said was trivial, the two of them who chatted about these did not feel embarrassed, but because of the matter of the Liaoyuan Sword, both sides showed that they were far more familiar than they should after a few contacts.

It's like an old friend.

While talking, the two came to the downtown area in Dongcheng District.

The streets are full of people, and the vendors on both sides have begun to sell their goods.

There are children chasing each other in the streets, friends chatting together, and beautiful girls wearing beautiful clothes and smiling like flowers.

It's a very pleasing sight.

It was filled with fireworks.

But Sun Li, who was looking at this scene, suddenly sighed.

Hearing this, Chu Qingxiao looked at the old man beside him, and seemed to understand the other party's thoughts, and asked at that time, "Are you thinking about yesterday's events?" ”

Sun Li seemed to trust Chu Qingxiao very much, but he didn't hide anything, and nodded at this time.

Then, he looked up at the bustling street: "The old man has been busy for the sky hanging mountain all his life. ”

"I always thought that this was a holy place for people who practiced swords in the world."

"Young people learn swords here, hold swords, and then travel far away with swords full of chivalrous courage."

"Generation after generation, a hundred years, a thousand years have passed to ten thousand years, what a beautiful thing......"

Chu Qingxiao listened to Sun Li's words and did not comment, but asked rhetorically: "What about now?" ”

"Now?" Sun Li was stunned, then lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Now, the old man is not so sure." ”

His figure was a little rickety because of his old age, and he was dressed in sackcloth, which was wrinkled in the early autumn morning breeze, and his appearance was inexplicably a little bleak.

"I remember when I came to Tianhang City, it was because when I was a child, I heard my father tell many stories about swordsmen who fought chivalry, and I thought at that time, one day, I would also be such a swordsman."

"With a sword, a pot of wine, and a yellow horse, wander the world."

"Later, I came to Tianhang City, which was still so big at that time, and I could walk from the east of the city to the west of the city in an hour."

"There aren't that many people, and Tianhang City is just a place for people who come to sign up to rest temporarily, and most of the time, it's quite clean here."

"I stayed here for a year, and then I passed the assessment and became an outer disciple."

Speaking of this, the old man paused, as if trying to remember something, and after a long while, he said, "At that time, there didn't seem to be such a thing as a miscellaneous disciple. ”

"After entering the inner gate, although you can't go to the top of the Divine Peak, you don't have to stay in Tianhang City, in Tianhang Mountain, there are large disciple dormitories, there are three meals a day, and you will even send some money and send one or two new clothes during the New Year's holidays. However, they are all uniform clothes of the disciples, not so good-looking, especially those of the outer disciples, they are all gray and white, and the old man doesn't like it very much. ”

"I haven't heard of any Qinghuan Mansion, although the classics of the outer gate are in demand, if you want to see them, wait a little longer, you can see them."

"There is no such thing as participating in the inner door selection, and you still need to pay money, there will be an inner door assessment in spring and autumn every year, as long as you meet the standards, you can participate, which is like ...... today."

Speaking of this, Sun Li fell silent again.

The expression on his face became a little complicated at this point.

There is confusion, there is confusion.

I don't know how to express some anger.

There is also the helplessness and embarrassment of being in the status quo without being able to change the status quo.

Chu Qingxiao somewhat understood his feelings: "After all, this time is different from the past, for example, there are probably a lot more disciples in Hanging Mountain today than in the past, and maintaining a sect with so many people does require a lot of expenses......

In order to comfort the old man in front of him, Chu Qingxiao said something against his will that he didn't quite agree with himself.

It's just that when these words came out, he didn't get a reply from the old man's approval, and the other party just looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked, "Do you really think so?" ”

That kind of gaze made Chu Qingxiao stunned, and his heart was filled with guilt.

After all, the old man seemed to have been honest with him, but he ......

Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao also said frankly: "I don't think so, at least I think that Tianhang Mountain, as a famous and decent family, should review the disciples who are included in the sect......"

"There are some people who really have no talent in this way, and they should not be brought in and given hope, and let them wander here for years, or even a lifetime, this is ......"

"It's a little selfish."

In this way, if Ziyu listens to it, with that little girl's dedication to maintaining Tianhang Mountain, she will definitely be furious, and she will argue with Chu Qingxiao with a red face.

This kind of thing has happened to Ziyu and Tsukimi I don't know how many times.

But Sun Li, who heard this, nodded after a short silence: "You're right!" ”

"After I came back yesterday, I went to the wine shop to find someone to talk to."

"In the past, I only knew a little about the things in Tianhang City, but after talking about it yesterday, I felt shocked......

"In today's Tianhang Mountain, I don't see any courage and responsibility as the head of the Sword Sect."

"All you have is arrogance and selfishness, and ambition that swells to the point of fear and uneasiness......"

Chu Qingxiao watched the old man say these words, and the expression on his face became a little indignant.

"Seniors, don't think about it, this kind of thing, small people like us, can't manage it, and there is no need to worry about it." Chu Qingxiao hurriedly explained.

It's just a very ordinary scene.

When talking to others, the other party probably sighed and echoed: "That's right, if you're worried about this, it's better to think about what you should eat at noon today." ”

But Sun Li is obviously not an ordinary person.

When he heard this, he looked sideways at Chu Qingxiao and asked, "If it's everything, everyone feels that it's none of their business." ”

"Then is the world just up to the people above, let their own hearts and toss at will?"

"Today, the people of the mountains and rivers are driven out, and there is no one to administer justice for them."

"But one day, when the expelled person becomes ourselves, will it be too late to think about resisting?"

Sun Li's words made Chu Qingxiao stunned at that time.

This is not really a tricky reason.

Even Chu Qingxiao has heard similar things more than once.

But what made Chu Qingxiao's heart a little turbulent at this time was that he saw a kind of firmness and determination that others had never had when they said this from Sun Li's eyes, which were already a little cloudy.

He seems to agree with this sentence in his heart, and he seems to be seriously thinking about what he can do.

And this seemingly stupid obsession made Chu Qingxiao think of the group of Xizhou sword armor who came to Wuling City and finally died in Wuling City.

Probably, if it weren't for the same attachment that seemed almost stupid.

At that time, Wuling City would soon be submerged under the beast tide of Candle Yin.

There is no Chu Qingxiao standing here today.

"Senior......" Chu Qingxiao wanted to say something at this time.

"Dead Man!!"

And at this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the side of the street.

Everyone on the street was attracted by the sound and looked sideways.

Chu Qingxiao and Sun Li were also Leng, and they also followed the sound, only to see the crowd rushing to the corner of an alley not far away at this time.

The two of them didn't say much, and leaned over at this moment.

"This death is too tragic......

"yes, who is so vicious, and how much grudge does this have? The face was scratched, and the family estimated that they couldn't claim it. ”

"Mo is not a victim of a recent disappearance......"

"It shouldn't be, those who disappeared have disappeared without a trace, and most of the people who have been notified by the Sword Hall are young people, and this guy looks quite young."

Before he got closer, Chu Qingxiao listened to the passers-by in front of him sigh without a word.

It sounded like the deceased's death was tragic, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, and at this time he also stood on tiptoe to look at the crowd.

There, lying a man covered in blood.

One of his hands and one foot had been cut off, and he was thrown aside like minced meat, and his face was indeed scratched by some sharp weapon as passers-by had said, and his flesh was blurred beyond recognition.

But at the moment when he saw this scene clearly, Chu Qingxiao's body trembled, and his face turned pale......

He knows him!

To be precise, he recognized the beige oil-paper umbrella in the man's arms!

That was the oil-paper umbrella that Chu Qingxiao stuffed into him when Zhu Renzhao left last night!
