"Why haven't you come yet?" In a shantytown near the city gate in the mountain ditch in the west of the city, Ziyu looked in the direction of the city gate and asked with some concern.

The sky had already darkened, and according to the agreement, Meng Ziliang should have brought Sun Li to join them at this time, and took Sun Li out of the city while the sky was dark.

It's just that the left and right still don't see the arrival of Meng Ziliang and Sun Li, and everyone can't help but be a little worried.

"I'll just say, if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well! That Meng Ziliang is unreliable at first glance! Ziyu muttered at this time, her tone somewhat resentful.

"Brother Meng shouldn't be able to......" Chu Qingxiao said with some uncertainty when he heard this, and his heart was also a little drumming at this time, after all, Meng Ziliang sometimes thinks differently.

At this moment, Chu Zhaozhao, who was on the side, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed not far away, and said loudly: "Look! ”

Chu Qingxiao and Ziyu both followed the sound at this time, and saw that the two figures were walking slowly towards here, and when they looked closely, it was Sun Li and Meng Ziliang.

"It's finally here." Chu Qingxiao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly greeted him at this time.

The Qiankun sword box behind him opened, and the Liaoyuan Sword didn't need to be summoned by Chu Qingxiao at all, and he felt Sun Li's breath there, and let out a brisk sword sound.

The next moment, the Liaoyuan Sword poured out of the sword box and flew to Sun Li like a streamer.

It couldn't help but rotate around Sun, and there was a burst of sword sounds in his body, like a child surrounding his parents.

Sun Li also recovered from the momentary surprise, his face was happy, and at this time he stretched out his hand, and the Liaoyuan sword fell into his hand at this time, he gently stroked the sword body, and his eyes were a little red.

"Old man, let's travel the world together again, this time, let's go see the Jiuqu River in Quzhou."

The body of the Liaoyuan sword trembled slightly, which was a response.

This scene is indeed a little moving.

Seeing this, Ziyu and Chu Zhaozhao couldn't help but show a little smile on the corner of their mouths.

Chu Qingxiao also stepped forward and was about to say a few words from the bottom of his heart, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his eyes swept over Sun Li and Meng Ziliang.

Sun Li changed into a new shirt.

The cyan fabric looks very valuable, and there is a wine gourd pinned to the waist, and the appearance is very atmospheric, and even the hairstyle seems to be carefully managed.

It was evident that he seemed to take this journey very seriously.

But......

Chu Qingxiao frowned, and he couldn't help asking, "What about the things I asked Brother Meng to prepare for Senior Sun?" ”

When Meng Ziliang heard this, he blinked, he pointed to Sun Li's body and said, "Aren't these just these?" ”

"That's all?" Chu Qingxiao confirmed with a strange expression.

Meng Ziliang, who heard this, seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and he said: "What do you mean only these? ”

"These things on my predecessors are all good goods that I have carefully selected."

As he spoke, he walked in front of Sun Li and pointed to Sun Li's shirt: "You see, this long shirt is made of fine cloud brocade cloth. ”

"Wearing it on the body is warm in winter and cool in summer, Senior Sun doesn't look ten years younger?"

"There is also this wine gourd, which looks ordinary, but is actually divided into two layers, the upper layer contains wine, and the lower layer contains water. There's a little mechanism here, and when you drink it, just press it lightly, and the water will flow out from below, so that others won't know that you're replacing wine with water! ”

"Senior Sun has just recovered from a serious illness and can't drink, so I specially found such a wine gourd, which can not only save his face as a swordsman, but also take care of his body, which is not enough to be careful?"

"Look at this hairpin again, it is from the lost jade dragon water carving technique, the whole hairpin is natural, and the carved white crane is even more lifelike......"

Meng Ziliang talked endlessly, the more he talked, the more excited he became, but he didn't notice that Chu Qingxiao and the three of them gradually darkened their faces after hearing his eloquent conversation.

Even after he said this, he looked up at everyone very proudly: "What's the matter, did I do this beautifully?" ”

Chu Qingxiao stretched out his hand at this time and pressed Ziyu and Chu Zhaozhao, who were not very good-tempered.

At the same time, he himself took a deep breath and suppressed the desire to beat up the guy in front of him.

He stepped forward, stretched out his hand and patted Meng Ziliang's shoulder, and said sincerely, "Fortunately...... Your sister didn't come......"

Meng Ziliang was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Chu Qingxiao looked at him deeply and said, "I'm afraid, if she is there, she will kill you......"

Meng Ziliang: "......"

……

"Senior Sun is recovering from a serious illness, why do you have to have a horse to travel, right?"

Chu Qingxiao stared at Meng Ziliang and asked, behind him Chu Zhaozhao and Ziyu also held their hands on their chests, staring at him unkindly.

Meng Ziliang was a little weak-hearted, he shrunk his neck, and muttered in a low voice, "Is that so...... I thought you meant to let me take my seniors to get ready for the ......."

"Walk?" Chu Zhaozhao on the side raised his eyebrows, and a little anger burned in his eyes: "Tell me, what's the use of your business?" Clothes, hairpins, wine gourds, which one can help? Came in handy......"

"Did you know that we're being swordsmanned right now......"

Chu Zhaozhao was furious, and he was speechless for a while, and he was about to tell the truth of the matter.

"Ahem." Seeing this, Chu Qingxiao hurriedly coughed, interrupted Chu Zhaozhao's words, and motioned for her to look at Sun Li beside her.

Only then did Chu Zhaozhao remember that in what Chu Qingxiao told Sun Li, it was he who temporarily retrieved the Liaoyuan Sword through a relationship, otherwise, with Sun Li's temperament, once he knew that his affairs would bring Chu Qingxiao and them such a big trouble, they would definitely refuse.

What's more, Sun Li has been running around for Tianhang Mountain all his life, if he knew that the sect was so ruthless to him, it would be difficult to accept it in his heart.

Therefore, everyone made up their minds from the beginning to hide this matter.

But Chu Zhaozhao's voice was also a lot louder because of the anger in his heart, and Sun Li on the side also raised his head and looked over when he heard the sound, looking puzzled.

In order not to let Sun Li notice the abnormality, Chu Qingxiao hurriedly changed the topic: "Forget it, it's not a big deal, let's go to the stable now to see if we can rent a better horse." ”

When Chu Zhaozhao and Ziyu heard this, they naturally agreed with Chu Qingxiao's decision.

But Meng Ziliang on the side heard this, but his face was slightly ugly, he was like an angry little daughter-in-law, he reached out and grabbed the corner of Chu Qingxiao's clothes, and whispered with a twisted expression: "I'm afraid ......"

"We can't rent a horse......

"Why?" Chu Qingxiao frowned, puzzled: "Could it be that the horse market is closed today?" ”*

"I didn't ...... I have no money......" Meng Ziliang lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

"What?!" As soon as these words came out, Ziyu's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Meng Ziliang incredulously: "That's thousands of spirit iron jade, which is converted into more than two hundred taels of silver, and you spent it in one afternoon?" ”

"You know that money is something we've worked so hard to earn back over the years......"

"Ahem." Ziyu vented the anger in her heart, but at this time, Chu Zhaozhao on the side coughed twice, looking a little embarrassed.

Ziyu was stunned when she saw this, but the next moment she also reacted, and she was also a little embarrassed.

After all, she thought about it carefully, as if the more than 1,000 spirit iron jades were all earned by Meng Ziliang......

Her voice was a little quieter: "That's it...... Even if you earn that money, but we are a collective, you can't just spend the money by yourself according to your own preferences, right? ”

"Then you want to eat and live together these days, and no one has ever said that I want to settle accounts with you......"

"Hmm...... Well! Chu Qingxiao cleared his throat at this time and glanced at Ziyu.

Ziyu was stunned again, and then remembered that it seemed that all they had eaten these days was the meal that Meng Ziliang had ordered in Jinyutang......

Ziyu's face couldn't help but flush a little: "That...... Even if we live on you, you can't ......."

"Can't ......"

She tried hard to find a statement, but after a long time, she couldn't find a suitable explanation in the face of this "cruel truth".

She suddenly felt powerless and lowered her hand: "Okay, I really don't know how to teach him a lesson, you guys ......"

Chu Qingxiao was also a little helpless, but when things got to this point, there was no point in holding anyone responsible.

He said: "I didn't make it clear to Brother Meng at the time, let's think about whether we can make enough money now." ”

Everyone also sighed, and Meng Ziliang also seemed to realize that he had made a big mistake, his brows were furrowed tightly, and his head was lowered.

"Friends, don't worry about this, the old man still has some savings, the money to buy these things today, as well as the money for renting horses, the old man has it." Sun Li walked up with a smile on his face at this moment.

As he spoke, he reached out and handed over a money bag.

Chu Qingxiao subconsciously took the money bag and opened it, which contained several stacked silver tickets, each of which was a denomination of one hundred taels.

"Senior, this is too much...... Chu Qingxiao said in astonishment.

"Take it all, the old man doesn't have a chance to use it." Sun Li said.

Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, but heard the old man say again: "Don't blame Meng Xiaoyou, I am very satisfied with the outfit he bought for me today." ”

"He's right, this swordsman, that is, with wine on his waist, a sword behind his back, wearing a green shirt and white clothes, fighting the sword world."

"He's the most swordsman I've ever seen in my life."

As he spoke, the old man put the Liaoyuan Sword back on his back, stood up straight, and winked at Meng Ziliang with a smile.

At this time, the night wind suddenly rose.

lifted the two strands of sideburns in front of his forehead, and the gourd around his waist swayed, and the corners of his clothes were wrinkled and raised indiscriminately.

That moment.

He looked high-spirited, as if he was the green-shirted swordsman in the story who fought the sword world.

There was a sword on his back and wine on his loin.

His face was wrinkled by the wrinkles of time, but his eyes were ......

A fire that life and death can't take away.

It was as if he were a sword.

Not necessarily glamorous.

But.

Straight and sharp.

Everyone was in a trance.

Meng Ziliang was also in a trance.

There seemed to be a picture flashing through his mind, and he couldn't say what it was, but it felt familiar.

Involuntarily, he opened his mouth and muttered to himself.

"The sword is like a ruler, equivalent to black and white."

It is an eight-character proverb that has been engraved on the hanging peak of the sky.

It was left by one of the three sword ancestors of Tianhang Mountain before entering the Martial Temple.

And with the collapse of the true image of the Holy Spirit of that Sword Ancestor nineteen years ago, the eight-character proverb also shattered......

Oh yes.

After careful calculation, Meng Ziliang seems to be just nineteen years old this year.
