The sky was dark.

Jung sang walked out of the room.

He stretched his waist, and the disciples who passed by to wash around him greeted him eagerly.

He was in a good mood and responded with a smile.

Now.

He is the guard of the Sword Holding Hall.

A few days ago, he was still nervous, worried that he would be completely abandoned by Liuhuan Peak if he messed up so many errands.

Especially when Yi Shitai also folded and sank into the sand and returned to Tianhang City in a gray manner, such emotions reached the extreme.

knew that a few days ago, Zheng Jingtong came back.

He didn't seem to be in a good mood with a straight face.

He stepped forward to greet him, but the other party didn't say a word to him, but just walked into the room with Zheng Lingyin.

In this way, Zheng Xiangru sat on pins and needles and waited outside for more than an hour.

Zheng Lingyin and Zheng Jingtong finally walked out of the door, Zheng Xiang hurriedly knelt down at this time, and begged for mercy in his heart, and was about to announce it.

But before the words came out, he heard Zheng Jingtong say: "You have done a good job, the duty of the Sword Hall this month will be handed over to you, and when you return to Liuhuan Peak, I will reward you well." ”

Zheng Jingtong's words made Zheng Xiang a little confused.

There is a way that is useless, and he really can't understand what he has done to receive such a reward.

You must know that being on duty in the Sword Hall is a good errand.

When the duty rotation is every month, the disciples of Shenfeng who meet the requirements will try their best to squeeze in, as long as you know how to get oil and water in the outer city, it is a simple thing.

Zheng Xiang thought about it carefully, and in the end, it could only be attributed to the fact that although he had done a lot of things, it was precisely because of this that he found out about Sun Li's divine sword, so he could indeed make up for it.

And since Zheng Jingtong rewarded himself, it must be that he recaptured the divine sword on this trip.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiang suddenly felt overjoyed.

At the end, when he was leaving, Zheng Jingtong patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Liuhuan Summit remembers everything you did for Liuhuan Peak. ”

You must know that although he is a member of the Zheng family, he is from a side lineage, and he has never received such a reward from the peak master, so he feels even more hot in his heart, and secretly thinks that the position on duty in the Sword Hall is probably just a small dish before the real reward arrives.

After all, if the Divine Sword is recaptured, then Zheng Lingyin may ascend to the Ten Realms in the future, enter the Martial Temple, and become the fifth great sage to enter the Martial Temple after the three sword ancestors and the twelfth generation of heads.

Probably figured these out, Zheng Xiang lost the panic he had before.

He became proud, and he boasted about his exploits when he met people, but the disciples of Liuhuan Peak in the Sword Hall didn't know what was going on, they only thought that the truth was as he said, so they also had a lot of stammers.

For a time, Zheng Xiang could be described as proud.

……

It was business as usual.

He put on his clothes early, sat in the main hall of the Sword Holding Hall, and looked through the folds handed from all over the Heavenly Hanging City, most of which were trivial things, and he annotated them indiscriminately as he wished.

But some of them involved money disputes, but he counted them out in different categories - only these things are worth noting.

These are things that can be manipulated a little bit and get money out of them.

Moreover, he doesn't need to do it personally, he just needs to hand it over to the disciples under his door and let them do it.

The rules of Tianhang City have always been like this, there is no justice, only profit.

After all, for most of the outer disciples, the inner gate is something they can't afford to offend, and all they work hard here is to enter the inner gate, offend the inner gate and the heavenly hanging city behind the inner gate, for them, there are all kinds of harm but no benefit.

So, most of the time, people choose to swallow their anger.

After doing this, it was already past the hour, Zheng Xiang sorted out the desk, and there was a letter on it that was imprinted with the seal of Tianhang Mountain.

It stands to reason that the cases from Tianhang Mountain should be handled by good students.

But this case is very special, it is about the thirteen disciples who have disappeared in Tianhang City in the past six months.

There has been no progress in this case for a long time, and the most recent missing person was Lu Zhangming, who disappeared more than half a month ago.

Everyone understands that this case involves complicated matters, but there is nothing to be fished out, and the previous guards on duty have not taken it to heart, and Zheng Xiang certainly has no intention of paying attention to it.

He just looked bored and looked through it, reading the dossier as if it were an anecdote.

Boom.

Boom.

And at this moment, at the temple gate in front of him, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

Zheng Xiang, who lowered his head, frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "How many times have you said it, you have to report before entering the door, why don't you understand the rules at all!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his head to look ahead, but the appearance of the visitor made him a little stunned.

It's a young man.

A young man who looked familiar, but he was sure he had never seen before.

The young man was dressed in a green shirt, looking seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome face, a spotless face, and as clean as a painter's handsome son.

He had a wine gourd pinned to his waist and a long sword behind his back.

"Who are you? This is the Sword Hall, and there is no notification of trespassing......" Zheng Xiang instinctively felt that the person who came was not good, so he was ready to raise the name of the Sword Hall to stop the other party.

But when his words were finished, he noticed that all around him, a sharp sword intent enveloped him.

His heart was shocked, and he knew that if he said more, he might be pierced by those cold sword intents.

He was as silent as a cicada, and looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a frightened expression.

"You...... What do you want to do? He asked in a trembling voice.

The young man walked up to him and asked with a serious face: "You have a saying that it is natural to repay debts and pay money, do you think this is correct?" ”

You guys?

Zheng Xiang muttered the other party's words, and faintly felt that the other party's words were a little strange, but at his strange stall, he could clearly feel that the sword intent that lingered around him seemed to be approaching his body a little closer, and that kind of cold touch came to him, making him almost unable to move.

He didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said, "Yes...... ...... to the

"Do you want money, how much do you want, you say...... I'll give you everything I can give! ”

He said this, but the young man was unmoved, and he continued to ask, "What about the blood debt??" ”

Zheng Xiang's heart was shocked, and a bad premonition came to his heart.

"Young Hero...... You and I have no grievances, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will definitely repay you well! ”

"I won't tell you, I am now a meritorious man of Liuhuan Peak, and the peak lord will give me a huge reward, as long as you let me go, I can give you these things in the future!"

He panicked and begged for mercy.

But the young man paid no attention to him.

Just stared at him, a little confusion welled up between his eyebrows: "Are you sad?" Also scared? ”

This was an obvious thing, but Zheng Xiang didn't have time to taste such a strange look on the other party's face, so he just nodded busily.

And such an answer made the puzzled look on the young man's face a little thicker.

"Then in that case, when you hurt him in the first place, why didn't you think that he would also be in pain and afraid??"

"He??" When Zheng Xiang heard this, he probably understood that the other party was here to seek revenge, he had no intention of answering the other party's question, but just begged for mercy with a crying voice: "Shaoxia, I don't know if I offended you and made it difficult for me to be a friend, but I am willing to compensate him, anything." ”

I don't know if his plea touched the young man, and the displeasure on the young man's face dissipated a little: "So, you are truly remorseful?" ”

Zheng Xiang saw the hope of living at this moment, he naturally didn't dare to hesitate, and nodded busily: "Yes, yes." ”

"Shaoxia, I really know it's wrong."

"And are you willing to compensate him?" The young man asked again.

Zheng Xiang naturally nodded again: "Yes, I am willing to compensate for my mistakes!" ”

"Shaoxia, how much money you say, how much money can be compensated, I can give it to you!"

"It's not that much trouble." The young man shook his head.

Zheng Xiang was confused and was about to ask, but he listened to the young man's words.

"You need to pay back the debt, kill people...... Need to pay for your life. ”

The young man's words had just come, and Zheng Xiang's heart was pang, but before he could say anything, the sword intent that lingered around him suddenly gathered towards his body at this moment.

With a brief but intense pain, the body of truth was shattered by the furious sword intent.

The blood mist burst through the room, and he and his bloody body fell to the ground heavily, no longer breathing.

The young man looked at Zheng Xiang, who was already silent, there was not much joy on his face, he frowned, glanced at it, and then his body turned into a snow-white long sword, turned into a streamer, and the window of the main hall escaped.

The two disciples on duty on both sides of the main hall only yawned and did not notice anything abnormal.

……

Next to the small courtyard of Bai Yu Returning Street.

Xu Dangren was already lying on the rattan chair and stroking his wooden box, looking leisurely.

Lu Sandao was still drunk, leaning on the stone table beside him and falling asleep.

Song Qingqing and Chu Zhaozhao quarreled again because of something they didn't know, and they quarreled a lot.

Meng Ziliang went to Sijun's mansion early and taught her to practice swords.

Everything ordinary.

At this moment, a flying sword suddenly flew from the dome, passed through the courtyard gate, and went straight to the main house of the small courtyard.

The speed of the flying sword was extremely fast, and when it passed through everyone, a gust of wind was raised.

But everyone in the courtyard seems to have been used to this.

The old man's eyebrows furrowed, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.

The drunken Lu Sandao opened his eyes dimly and looked around, then poured a big sip of wine on his head with a "pause", and continued to fall asleep.

Even Song Qingqing and Song Qingqing, who were arguing, only paused for a moment, and then continued to export their firepower towards each other.

At the same time, Chu Qingxiao, who was sitting cross-legged in the main room, seemed to feel something, he opened his eyes and stood up.

A snow-white divine sword hovered in front of him in front of him.

"Are you done?" He asked, looking at the flying sword.

The flying sword trembled and turned into the appearance of a young man.

He nodded, "It's done." ”

"Are you feeling better?" Chu Qingxiao asked again.

The young man frowned and shook his head: "No, I feel more sad." ”

Chu Qingxiao was stunned, he turned around and sat down beside the other party, and then said, "This is normal." ”

"I've had that before."

"Revenge is for those we care about, but no matter how we kill those who die, they can't come back to life, so ......"

"So, that sadness doesn't go away with revenge."

The young man looked sideways at him and asked, "Then how did you forget?" ”

"Why should I forget?" Chu Qingxiao asked rhetorically.

"They have fond memories of me, and I deserve to remember them."

The look on the young man's face was even more confused: "But the more I remember those beautiful things, the more painful his departure becomes......"

Chu Qingxiao said: "But people will always die, and those who love each other will have the day when they will be separated from each other." ”

"Children will leave their parents, wives and husbands, and there will always be someone who will go first, parting is inevitable for people, so we must cherish the present." Chu Qingxiao comforted as much as possible.

"The predecessor lived every day of his life very carefully, even if he suffered injustice, he has adhered to his own sword, and you have been with him until the last moment, you have never failed each other, so I think there is no need to regret it."

"That memory will be the best gift he left you."

Chu Qingxiao said this, his brows furrowed slightly, recalling everything he had experienced, this was his most sincere feeling.

And the young man also listened carefully to Chu Qingxiao's words, carefully savoring every word in his words.

But he still had a lot of puzzles, and in the end he could only mumble: "People...... It's really complicated. ”

"It can be so good, or it can be so bad......"

"Sooner or later, I will die, but I have to work hard to live......"

When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he was a little helpless, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's really complicated, even if it's ourselves, sometimes we don't know ourselves very well." ”

At this point, he looked at the young man again and asked, "What about you?" What are you going to do now? Do you want to go back to the Yaoguang Sword Pool to sleep, or go to Kamigawa Peak......"

The young man looked up at Chu Qingxiao at this time: "Can I choose myself?" ”

Chu Qingxiao was stunned and said with a smile: "Of course." ”

This answer made the young man silent, and after a while, as if he had made up some determination, he looked up at Chu Qingxiao and said, "I want to be a person." ”

"Huh?" Chu Qingxiao was a little puzzled.

"I want to understand what he insists on, and I want to understand what is the most human feeling......

"I can't forget the pain of losing him, but I want to feel what it's like to be him......"

"Moreover, you are the only one who has helped him, and he often says that swordsmen should have revenge and kindness."

"Follow you, I can help him repay you."

"That's probably the only thing I can do for him."

"So, can I stay in your pillar?"

Chu Qingxiao was stunned again.

The Liaoyuan Sword was placed in the Fifth Divine Pillar in his body at the moment, which was Liaoyuan Sword's own request.

After Sun Li's death, it became irritable and became angry and anxious.

Mu Nanshan handed him over to Chu Qingxiao, for such a divine object, the peak master of Shenhe Peak did not show the slightest greed, he just told Chu Qingxiao very solemnly.

"I hope you treat this sword well."

"He's a confidant of my old friend."

And ...... The whole sky hangs over the mountain, and only you are worthy of it. ”

For this gift, Chu Qingxiao actually felt a little ashamed.

After all, in his opinion, he just did what he wanted to do, helping Sun Li, for Sun Li, but at the same time, for his own persistence.

Therefore, he hoped that Liaoyuan Sword would choose his own destiny.

He knew that the Liaoyuan Sword was different, and he had his own spiritual intelligence, especially after becoming the Tiangang Divine Sword, this spiritual wisdom became more and more powerful.

But Liaoyuan Jian just told him that he wanted revenge and personally avenged Sun Li.

But with a sword, there is no way to take revenge on its own.

So Chu Qingxiao swallowed the Burning Plains Sword with divinity into his fifth divine pillar, relying on the help of the divine pillar, he could transform into a human form and fulfill his long-cherished wish.

And in the face of Liaoyuan Sword's request at this moment, Chu Qingxiao hesitated for a while, and then laughed.

"If that's what you're thinking."

"Welcome."

"The Fifth Divine Pillar, the God of Red Flame and Mystery."
