Zheng Gaojue said with a smile: "It turned out to be a defeated dog village, then it's normal." ”

Yu Ping said: "I have only heard it before, saying that the martial arts are deep, and some sects have fallen behind, and there is no way to stay in the city, nor can they maintain their self-built mountain gates, but they are not willing to be disbanded, so they can only go to live in some villages near the city and find opportunities to revive the sect." Although the name of the village is ugly, its courage is commendable. ”

"Yes, this Divine Bow Sect still has bones, and many sects tend to disperse." Li Qing said leisurely.

Zhou Hate moved his mouth and didn't say anything.

The four of them turned around and went out of the city and headed for Wangjiatun.

Walking outside the village, I saw graves overgrown with weeds lying on both sides of the road.

Li Qingxian glanced at the nearby tombstones and said, "These graves are probably mostly dead martial arts people." ”

The four of them entered the village and walked forward in the yellow sand.

A wide gravel road runs through the village, flanked by stone walled courtyards, with broken lanterns swaying in front of the gate and plaques with the names of the sects on the lintels clanging in the wind.

Heavenly Sword Gate, Five Tiger Mountain, Divine Fist Gang, Ten Swords Society......

At first glance, the houses on both sides are quite magnificent, but if you look at the details, the plaques of the sect are painted everywhere, and the walls are overgrown with weeds.

Looking along the streets and alleys on both sides, behind the stone houses, rows of earthen thatched houses are neatly arranged, and some sect plaques are also hung on the doors.

People in the village come and go, dressed almost the same as the people in the city, straw sandals and cloth clothes, covered in dust, and full of vegetables.

The four of them were dressed in black, with thick-soled boots and ruddy faces.

The sound of shredded footsteps was heard.

A child with half of the ash on the bottom of the pot on his face clasped his hands in his sleeves, walked over with a smile on his back, and said loudly: "Four masters, but come to Wangjiatun to do business?" I know everything about this place, and I know everything I can, and as long as I can afford to pay for it, I can even tell the color of the pants of the Tateyama Tiger next door. ”

Li Qingxian looked at the child, who was about the same age as himself, his hair was unkempt like a bird's nest on a tree, his face was covered with dust and dirt, his face was yellow and thin, his eyes were slightly bright, and there was a bamboo paper fan pinned to his cloth belt

Li Qingxian thought about it, and with a flick of his right hand, a penny flew out in a circle, and the man reached out to catch it and stuffed it into his arms.

"Master Shuangli!" The child smiled.

"Let's go to the Divine Bow Sect, tell me how this sect is now?"

"Huh? Are you here to seek revenge? The kid looked at Li Qingxian cautiously, his eyes flashing.

"This is the closed disciple of Master Liu," Li Qingxian pointed at Zheng Gaojue and said, "I am Li Jingqiu, a guest invited by Master Liu." Are you from the Divine Bow Sect? ”

"How do you know?"

"Just look at your concerned look, lead the way." Li Qing said leisurely.

"Keqing, please come with me. By the way, my name is Wang Shoude, a native of Wangjiatun, who worshiped the Shengong faction in the early years. Wang Shoude said with a grin.

Li Qingxian glanced at this child, he was not tall, but his arms were very long, and he was indeed suitable for cultivating bows and arrows.

"Didn't enter?"

"I just had a sense of gas."

"Two stones?"

"No, I don't have enough strength to pull a bow with one and a half stones. Master said, "When I am two years older, I will eat more meat and enter the product, and I will soon be able to pull a bow with two or even three stones." Wang Shoude said, looking at the longbow behind Zheng Gaojue.

Zheng Gaojue said with a smile: "Four stones, work hard, can pull five stones, I just entered the product." ”

Wang Shoude was overjoyed and said: "Our Shengong Sect has added another cadre, and the revitalization of the sect is promising." ”

The group walked for a while, turned a corner, and saw three or four men with big shoulders and round waists scolding the street in front of a crooked earthen wall and wooden door in front of them, and spraying everything unpleasant.

Li Qingxian looked at the plaque on the gate and shook his head slightly.

Divine Bow Sect.

Wang Shoude's face turned red and he said in a low voice: "I'm here to ask for debts." ”

"How much do you owe?" Li Qing asked as he walked.

"Don't say more than a hundred taels, otherwise you won't be scolded so ruthlessly, and the door will be blocked for the third day in a row." Wang Shoude said.

Walking to the door, Li Qingxian pretended to take out a silver ticket of twenty taels from his purse, threw it gently, and Mana held the silver ticket and flew straight to the person in front of the leader.

"Pay these back first."

Those few people glanced at the clothes of Li Qingxian and the others, and finally glanced at the tower-like Zhou Hate, and the man at the head arched his hand and said, "Brother is righteous, for the sake of brother's face, we will give you another ten days." ”

"Let Keqing see it." Wang Shoude looked embarrassed.

"Master Liu is at home?"

"The sect hasn't made a living these days, and a few of us are nested in the house."

Li Qingxian stepped into the door.

Wang Shoude followed aside and said loudly: "Master, Uncle Keqing is here, and there are also your closed disciples." ”

Li Qingxian entered the courtyard and swept it at will, a very ordinary large courtyard of a northwest farmhouse, with wings on the left and right sides, and the main hall and two bedrooms on the left and right in front of it.

In the northeast corner of the yard, the white reed chicken walked slowly, constantly pecking at the ground, the southwest corner was piled with firewood, and there was a row of clay pots of pickles in the corner of the east wing.

With just one glance, Li Qingxian knew that the situation of this Divine Bow Sect was worse than he imagined, where was there a sect, and when he took off the plaque outside, it was a large courtyard.

A rough voice came from the east wing and said, "It's really strange, when did the master accept a closed disciple, and what's even more strange is that what does our Divine Bow Sect take to worship Keqing?" ”

I saw a bearded man come out of the east wing, glanced at the outfits of Li Qingxian and others, glanced at Zhou Hat, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Welcome, welcome, the Divine Bow Sect is a bit miserable now, which makes you laugh." ”

"This is the third senior brother Yu Xiaoshan." Wang Shoude was busy introducing.

Li Qingxian just nodded lightly to Yu Xiaoshan.

Yu Xiaoshan didn't care, still smiling.

"Yo, why didn't I hear Master talk about this?" A delicate voice came from the west wing, and I saw a half-old holding a red handkerchief in her hand, flicking it gently, and wanted to lean on the threshold to watch.

"Who is the guest of our Divine Bow Sect? Let me see. The woman looked at everyone with a smile, a small waist, a round basin face, and a nozzle with rouge gouache on her face, and her nose was itchy with gouache smell.

Wang Shoude said: "This is the fourth senior sister Xu Fang. ”

Li Qingxian nodded to Xu Fang and asked, "I heard that there are only a dozen people left?" ”

Xu Fang sneered, grabbed the conversation and said: "Half a year ago, there were still more than a dozen people left, and now except for the old immortals, there are only seven of our disciples left, and we have rearranged our identities, and Xiao Dezi has also changed from the fourteenth to the seventh junior disciple." ”

Wang Shoude smiled happily.

"Think you're a guest? What a handsome kid. Xu Fang looked at Li Qingxian with a smile.

At this moment, a man walked out of the shadows of the main hall, tall and emaciated, with a hunched back and hands drooping almost close to the knees.

This man has gray hair, a mouthful of big yellow teeth and striking teeth, a tall figure, and a humble smile.

Behind him was a large, rough black bow.

"But Li Jingqiu, Li Keqing? I've finally got you covered. Liu Yitian walked over quickly, hugged his fist at Li Qingxian, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his waist bent an inch further.
