Sun

It roasted the earth like a giant fireball.

The whole desert is like a giant oven,

The sand was flying, and the blazing air waves swept up.

Ding Xiaoyi stepped on the hot yellow sand and returned to Shacheng,

He was covered in blood, and he was carrying a package that oozed black blood.

Back in Shacheng, he let out a long sigh of relief.

And the streets of Shacheng are full of passers-by,

They watched Ding Xiaoyi slowly enter the city carrying a package the size of a watermelon,

There was no fear in their eyes, only excitement in their eyes.

"Ding Xiaoyi, why haven't you died outside, the old lady cursed that you will definitely die outside."

From the window of the pavilion, which was almost collapsing, peeked out the face covered in rouge and gouache.

The snake lady's eyes flashed with surprise, and she unceremoniously cursed Ding Xiao with the most vicious words.

And Ding Xiaoyi looked at the face on the pavilion covered with a thick layer of rouge gouache with that bright smile.

"I let you down",

Ding Xiaoyi didn't have any displeasure on his face, and he said very kindly.

"Hmph, don't be proud, sooner or later you'll die outside."

The face covered in thick rouge gouache snorted coldly, and after saying that, she shrank into the window.

Ding Xiaoyi shook his head, and he continued to walk forward with the head of the Drilling Sky Leopard in his hand.

He came to a courtyard outside the courtyard, which was the courtyard of the iron cloth.

To Ding Xiaoyi's surprise, there was another person in Tie Buyi's courtyard.

It was an ordinary man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his thin cheeks were like knives.

The man was wearing a purple gown, a purple gown with a noble atmosphere.

The purple robe felt a little out of place with the robes in the sand city.

And Ding Xiaoyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and wisps of sword intent flickered.

"I'm back",

Tie Buyi was chopping wood with a sharp long knife, and he said without raising his head.

And Ding Xiaoyi nodded, but his eyes kept falling on the purple-clothed man.

"A bowl of wine for a human head, fortunately not disgraced",

Ding Xiaoyi threw the package in his hand into the courtyard of Tie Buyi,

"Bang",

The head of the leopard rolled around the courtyard covered with yellow sand a few times, and finally settled at the feet of the man in purple.

The purple-clothed man had a look of doubt in his eyes,

He crouched down and untied the package, his eyes figuring down as he saw the human head inside.

"It's the head of a leopard, I can't imagine that this thief is actually hiding in this desert."

The man in purple looked up and said to Tie Buyi, who was chopping wood.

"Come in and drink a bowl of bar, a bowl of wine for this head, after all, I still owe you something."

Tie Buyi stopped the movement in his hand, and he said to Ding Xiaoyi outside the courtyard.

"Good",

Ding Xiaoyi was not polite, he pushed open the courtyard door and walked straight to the courtyard.

And Tie Buyi went into the house to get wine.

The man in purple looked at Ding Xiaoyi curiously,

And Ding Xiaoyi showed an incomparably bright smile to the other party, and the smile was clean and clear.

"You're a sword cultivator?"

The purple-clothed man asked Ding Xiaoyi kindly,

"Sort of", Ding Xiaoyi nodded slightly,

"I know some sword cultivators, but this is the first time I've seen someone as young as you."

The man in purple said again,

"Actually, it's just my luck."

Ding Xiaoyi said very modestly, he felt that his luck was indeed not bad.

"Luck is also a kind of strength, how long have you been in this Sand City."

The purple-clothed man asked Ding Xiaoyi again, he seemed to be very interested in this sunny young man.

"Don't beat his mind, let him go his own way."

Tie Buyi walked out of the room with a wine jar, and he said to the purple-clothed man.

"Indeed, which sword cultivator didn't break out of the world with one of his own swords?"

The purple-clothed man nodded, agreeing with Tie Buyi's statement.

"Are you leaving?"

Ding Xiaoyi took the bowl full of wine handed by Tie Buyi, and he asked curiously.

When he saw this purple-clothed man, he faintly felt something in his heart, and he also knew some clues from the tone of the conversation between the two.

"I do have one more important thing to leave for a while, but I'll be back."

Tie Buyi showed an apology in his eyes, and he replied to Ding Xiaoyi.

"How long will a bowl of wine keep this city?" Ding Xiaoyi asked Tie Buyi again,

But the purple-clothed man had bright eyes, and he looked at Ding Xiaoyi again.

"The shortest is three months, and the longest is no more than half a year. If you don't have enough wine, you can always come to my house and get it, and my wine is hidden in the cellar. ”

Tie Buyi's face showed a look of helplessness.

"Didn't you expel the Storm Pavilion, why do you have to work for the Storm Pavilion?"

Ding Xiaoyi was very puzzled, he didn't understand why Tie Buyi wanted to go back to Fengbo Pavilion.

"A lot of things can't be explained in one or two sentences, and you should have guessed which one of them is from the Storm Pavilion."

Tie Buyi said with a sigh.

"There are four purple-clothed overseers in the Storm Pavilion, one has become the pavilion master of the Storm Pavilion, one has been expelled from the Storm Pavilion, and one has become the pavilion owner's wife. The rest is Li Si in the cross, Li Envoy. ”

Ding Xiaoyi easily told the identity of the purple-clothed man.

"Yes, he is Li Si in the second place of the Fengbo Pavilion, his name is ordinary, but he is not ordinary."

Tie Buyi smiled slightly, he looked at the purple-clothed man beside him and said to Ding Xiaoyi.

"I can't imagine that even the four big Li people have come forward in person, so there must be some big case in the capital." Ding Xiaoyi smiled casually.

"I didn't expect Xiaoyou to be young, but he was very cautious, which surprised Ben Envoy."

The purple-clothed man said to Ding Xiaoyi with a kind smile on his face.

"Brother Tie, do you believe me?"

The bowl of wine in Ding Xiaoyi's hand was drunk by him, his face was grim, and he said to Tie Buyi.

"Naturally, I can trust it, I am very relieved that this sand city is in your hands."

Tie Buyi said to Ding Xiaoyi boldly.

"Brother Tie, isn't that what I'm talking about?"

Ding Xiaoyi shook his head, but he didn't say what he really thought in his heart.

"Believe in yourself, just wait for me to come back, and take you to meet a few people in the evening."

Tie Buyi patted Ding Xiaoyi's shoulder.

Li Si, the purple-clothed man on the side, kept his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At night, Tie Buyi took Ding Xiaoyi to meet the five people.

The first person was the snake lady who was smeared with a thick layer of rouge.

And the snake lady was teasing for a while against the iron cloth clothes, and finally the two fled in a hurry.

"Tie Buyi, the old lady cursed you to die outside forever, and you can't go back to Shacheng."

The snake lady was so angry that she cursed the iron cloth viciously.

The second person was a butcher at the end of the street in Nasha City, and Ding Xiaoyi had seen this butcher in the mirage illusion.

The third person is a short old man with a pockmarked face.

And this old man had also seen it in the mirage illusion, which made Ding Xiaoyi very puzzled.

As for the fourth person, it was an old woman embroidering red cloth shoes.

There was a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on the red cloth shoes, and she embroidered them very seriously, every stitch and thread was very serious.

The Last Man,

is the shopkeeper of a wine shop, holding a dry tobacco in his hand, Ding Xiaoyi almost fell into the shopkeeper's way in the illusion.

And every time Tie Buyi saw someone, he said that he was going to leave for a while.

Except for the snake lady's vicious curse, everyone else just coldly said that they knew.

After getting the response of these people, Tie Buyi left with Ding Xiaoyi.

After receiving the response of this group of people, Tie Buyi breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Tie, you shouldn't go back to the capital, Li Si seems to be hiding something, this time it will definitely be unfavorable to you."

Ding Xiaoyi's sword heart is clear, and his intuition is the most responsive when there is something.

"You are too worried, the others in the Storm Pavilion will harm me, I believe this, but Li Si will not."

Tie Buyi shook his head and comforted.

"Brother Tie, you'd better be careful, the Storm Pavilion is no longer the Storm Pavilion it used to be."

Ding Xiaoyi knew that it was useless to say anything, so he had to remind him again.

That night, Tie Buyi left Shacheng, and no one knew that he had left Shacheng except for the five people.

Of course, Ding Xiaoyi, as the new guardian of Shacheng, naturally knows about it.
