In the spring of the twentieth year of Fengtian, Sima Mansion in Xihe Prefecture.

It's been two months since Tianhengshan was last in distress. In the past two months, although Li Tianhua is sensible and does not go out to run around, it is really boring to stay in Sima's mansion all day long.

Every time he thought of the sword he handed over at the moment of life and death, and Ye Yang's affirmation later, he felt a burst of pride.

That's a free sword immortal! How many people want to get the guidance of a martial arts master all their lives. And this young man not only got guidance, but also received a copy of Ye Yang's "Taixu Sword Technique".

Although this sword technique is unfathomable, after the young man has integrated it with the Gengzi sword technique, he has a different understanding of the sword intent.

In the past few days, Shennong has been condensing his soul body day and night, and more and more cultivation and aura have been withdrawn from Li Tianhua's body. This made the boy very depressed.

Two months ago, the teenager couldn't fully accept Zhang Zilai's identity, but after two months of getting along, the two became more and more acquainted, and the teenager was not as restrained as he was then.

Sima Qin has been busy since the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, running back and forth between the state capital and Sima Mansion every day.

Sima Wenxin's illness has been cured.

However, to the boy's surprise, she was strong during her illness. But as soon as three months passed, when Li Tianhua told her that she was fine, she cried so much that it rained.

The teenager was a little puzzled by this, but he was generally understandable.

After two and a half years of illness and three months of heart-rending torture, she really endured too much. Coupled with the rebirth after the catastrophe, if it were Li Tianhua or even Sima Qinlai, the performance might not be much better.

Sima Wenxin's persistence this time is far more than just healing.

Shennong once said that if Sima Wenxin could survive these three months, not only would his physical body not be damaged, but his cultivation speed would also be beyond the reach of ordinary people.

According to Shennong, if there is a suitable cultivation method, given time, Sima Wenxin may be able to become one of the strongest in Xihe Prefecture.

As for the old beggar who came back with them in Tianheng Mountain last time, the young man was a little interested.

It's just that since they came back from Tianheng Mountain, he hasn't heard a word from the old beggar, but he has seen him wandering around Sima's mansion all day.

Among them, Li Tianhua pestered the old beggar several times, trying all kinds of ways to force him to speak.

It's just that this strange old man is like taking dumb medicine, no matter how the young man stalks, he just keeps his mouth shut and never spits out half a word.

Li Tianhua is not the kind of person who is boring to blame. He was just curious, last time in Tianheng Mountain, how did this old beggar know what kind of Five Elements puppet.

Could it be that he is the craftsman himself when he became a god? The boy was amused by his own thoughts.

Even if there is such a person, it is estimated that he has been dead for eight or nine hundred years.

Could it be that this old man is a peerless powerhouse who lives in seclusion? It doesn't look like it, what peerless powerhouse will run out to beg for food if he lives in seclusion?

Li Tianhua couldn't think of a reason if he wanted to break his head, so he simply didn't want to. Anyway, no matter what kind of person this old man is, what does it have to do with him?

The young man thought truthfully, so he didn't bother to eat salty radishes and worry about it.

At the same time, Sima Qin's other courtyard.

Sima Qin and Zhang Zilai were talking.

"Brother Zhang, do you know the details of that old man?"

Zhang Zilai frowned slightly and replied, "His aura is not like that of a person who practices martial arts, and he is no different from ordinary people."

But the last time he encountered the Five Elements puppet in Tianheng Mountain, Zhang was at a loss, but this old man knew the details of the Five Elements puppet.

In my opinion, he should be just a knowledgeable but unlucky old Confucian with no bad intentions.

After all, if he hadn't told me about the fate of the Five Elements puppet at that time, Zhang and Tianhua probably wouldn't have been able to come back. ”

Sima Qin was slightly surprised.

He has been busy since he came back from Tianheng Mountain, and he was even more busy after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he didn't have time to ask about the situation in Tianheng Mountain that day.

Today, when he had time to talk to Zhang Zilai, he realized that it was the old beggar who helped them get out of danger.

"In that case, I should entertain this old gentleman." Sima Qin said.

Zhang Zilai smiled: "No need, in two days, Tianhua boy and I will set off for Yanshui." The old beggar was well-informed, and should be able to help somewhat. ”

Hearing Zhang Zi say that he and Li Tianhua were leaving, Sima Qin couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Through these two months of getting along, he has learned Zhang Zilai's character, bold, atmospheric, love and hate, a proper high-roller, very much to him Sima Qin's appetite.

Now, he is leaving, and Sima Qin feels reluctant from the bottom of his heart.

As for Li Tianhua, Sima Qin was even more reluctant. In his heart, he had already regarded this young man as his son, or even his son-in-law.

But there is no feast in the world that will not be dissolved. Sima Qin knew that Xihe Prefecture was too small to meet the soaring eagles. Li Tianhua, you should really go out and have a look.

"Sima Qin is entangled in official business, so he can't go with Brother Zhang and Tianhua. Please Brother Zhang must take care of Tianhua. Sima Qin arched his hand.

Zhang Zilai smiled heartily: "Taishou doesn't need to say much, everything is in Zhang's heart." I will definitely take him with me and return safely. ”

Three days later, Li Tianhua packed his bags and reluctantly left his courtyard and arrived at the gate of Sima's Mansion.

Zhang Zilai has been waiting in the carriage for a long time.

The young man saw the old beggar wearing a plain gown, as if he was about to get into the car, and asked, "Why, you are going too?" ”

The old beggar usually refused to speak, but this time he said without hesitation: "Why, only you are allowed to go, old man, can't I go?" ”

Li Tianhua was afraid that the old man would continue to talk endlessly, so he had to wave his hand and say, "No, no, no, I don't mean that." Okay, okay, let's go together. Get in the car, get in the car. ”

After the young man helped the old beggar into the car, he said goodbye to everyone in Sima Mansion one by one.

Sima Wenxin is still dressed in Tsing Yi today. When she said goodbye to Li Tianhua, her cheeks were slightly hot.

That day, in front of the teenager, she cried pear blossoms with rain. At that time, there was no one else in her house except herself and the maid Ying'er.

Thinking of this, Sima Wenxin's cheeks were even more crimson with shame. It's just that the boy was busy saying goodbye to the others in the house and didn't notice this scene.

Li Tianhua finally came to Sima Qin's side and made a deep gesture: "Uncle Qin, Tianhua is gone, take care." ”

Sima Qin's eyes were red, and there was a hint of choking in his voice: "Tianhua, come back often." ”

With a sound of "driving", Zhang Zilai drove the carriage and slowly disappeared from the sight of Sima Qin and his party......
