It is said that Han Ye and his party followed the short-haired man into the wooden house.

The furnishings in this wooden house are very chic, although the so-called sparrows are small and complete, with two beds, dressing tables, wardrobes, and round tables all crowded into a small space, although it is enough for this family to live, but if you add Han Ye and the three of them, it is really difficult to vacate a place to sit.

There was a young boy of one year, and a girl who was slightly older than the boy, and a woman in purple was facing away from everyone. The children were resting in their cots, and the woman in purple was gently stroking them, and it was hard to imagine that they could be so safe and secure when something so big had just happened outside.

"Xuewei." The woman in green patted the woman in purple on the shoulder and said, "Everything outside has been dealt with, it turns out that there is an arrogant person who is robbing other people's things and was driven away by Brother Lin." As she spoke, she glanced at the sleeping child a few more times, and asked in a low voice, "Are our children alright?" ”

"Of course, I use flower petals to isolate them from the noise of the outside world, so that they don't hear much." Xue Wei turned her head, her fair face, willow thrush, warm apricot eyes, and charming red lips were like fairies in the painting, and even Han Ye was stunned.

"What? So many people here? Xue Wei looked flustered, quickly grabbed a glass hairpin on the dressing table, coiled the long hair draped over her shoulders into a bun, and then combed the hair on her chest, then smiled gently at Han Ye and Xue Yan, and said, "It's rude." ”

Han Ye and Xue Yan looked at each other and smiled, but at this time, Xue Wei's gaze swept to Yun Meng, who was carrying the short-haired man, and couldn't help but change her face.

"What's wrong?" Both the short-haired man and the woman in green asked.

"It's fine." Xue Wei shook her head and said, "This girl, I feel so strange, I have an inexplicable sense of intimacy, who is she?" ”

"Really, I think it's just right, that means she's a good person, why did she make that frightened expression, eh, now is not the time to say this." The woman in green led Xue Wei to look at Han Ye and the others, and said to her: "Brother Lin and I want to keep these people here, but the place is limited, so I want you to ask for advice." ”

Xue Wei's eyes swept over everyone again, and suddenly smiled: "So you want to keep them?" Although the room is small, it is not difficult to make room, so that the big men can sleep outside the house, and they will not catch a cold in the summer, and then put the big and small beds together, and the women and children sleep together. ”

The woman in green couldn't help but give Xue Wei a thumbs up and said, "Gao Jian! ”

Xue Wei said: "But, Ru'er, you seem to have forgotten a very important thing. ”

"What's the matter?" The woman in green asked.

"You forgot to introduce them to our family, did you?" Xue Wei said softly.

"That's right!" The woman in green scratched her head, turned to Han Ye and the others: "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Feng Ru, I used to be the palace master of Bishui Palace, and then I followed a certain dead ghost, so I stayed with my husband and children." As she spoke, Feng Ru glanced at the short-haired man who was stunned again, then took Xue Wei's sleeve and said, "This is a good sister who has been through hardships with me, her name is Xue Wei, she used to be a flower demon, and then we went to the god realm to help her become a mortal." In the end, Feng Ru walked up to the short-haired man and pretended to be disdainful: "I won't introduce this dead man, the ghost knows where he jumped out." ”

"Hahaha!" Xue Yan and Xue Wei both laughed, only the short-haired man was still dumbfounded.

"I didn't pop up, Ru'er." The short-haired man said dumbfoundedly.

"Haha." Even Feng Ru smiled at these, and she said, "Then you introduce yourself." ”

The short-haired man's eyes fixed on Han Ye, and he said: "My name is Lin Yin, born to the Three Emperors of the Divine Realm, the son of the Emperor of Heaven, and the apprentice of the Moral Heavenly Venerable, originally the Emperor of Heaven asked me to go back to the Divine Realm to accompany him, but I didn't agree, because I wanted to live some ordinary days with the person I liked, that's all." ”

While Lin Yin was talking, the two daughters who accompanied him all showed satisfied smiles, and Han Ye couldn't help but sigh and said: "These three people are all from extraordinary backgrounds, especially this eldest brother surnamed Lin, who has a mediocre appearance, but has such a background and such skills, it is really unbelievable and incomprehensible." ”

Then, Han Ye introduced the three of them to Lin Yin.

Lin Yin said to Han Ye: "Brother Han, the injuries on your body have not completely healed, not to mention that we have to sleep outside together at night, why don't you talk to me in the next few days?" ”

Han Ye nodded solemnly.

Xue Wei hugged the sleeping Situ Yunmeng and said, "Since you are so anxious to grab people, then, I want this." ”

"Okay, okay, grab it all!" Feng Ru smiled and took Xue Yan's hand and said, "Anyway, this girl belongs to me!" ”

Xue Yan smiled slightly when she heard this, and two small pear vortices appeared on her face.

"Alright." Feng Ru said: "Since everything has been arranged, then some people may have to be punished." As he spoke, he pointed to Lin Yin and said, "Don't think I forgot!" I'm again today, go out and stand outside, old rules! ”

Lin Yin went out very obediently, standing outside the door, Feng Ru took a stack of bowls from the kitchen, said "take the bowls", and threw them at Lin Yin one by one. Lin Yin caught the bowl and folded it on his head in turn, like a street juggler, but when he saw him, he leaned his back against the wooden wall and stood still honestly, just waiting for his wife to speak.

Feng Ru covered her mouth and snickered, and then said in a loud voice: "I was going to punish you heavily, but I didn't make any big mistakes when you rescued the driver in time, just stand for an hour, um." With that, she went back to the house.

"Let's show him a copy of the Book of Songs, so that he won't have to doze off while standing." Feng Ru yawned.

"Still reading the Book of Songs? Then he's really going to doze off standing there! The bowl on his head must have fallen off when he dozed off, and we had to go to town to buy it, how troublesome is it? Xue Wei reminded.

When Feng Ru heard this, he said, "Okay, for the sake of those bowls, let's not show him the Book of Poetry, really." ”

So, Feng Ru pulled Xue Yan and chatted about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, leaving Lin Yin alone to look at the sky alone.

……

However, it was said that on the green hill of the Mingjian Hall, there was an unknown secret room, and a black-clothed man was practicing in the secret room. His method of practicing the exercises is different from ordinary people, which is to brutally absorb the essence of those living people who are tied to the stone wall one by one and turn them into his own spiritual power.

At this moment, a young man dressed in crimson slowly walked into the secret room, and his footsteps could be heard clearly in the empty secret room.

"What people!" The man in black shouted.

"It's me, Master." The young man showed a handsome face in the dim light, and he was Ji Wenlong.

"Didn't you say that?" The man in black said impatiently: "It's okay, don't keep running here, it will arouse the suspicion of others." ”

"Afraid of what?" Ji Wenlong said proudly: "Situ Sheng, that old guy won't live long, plus I have a lot of people now, won't Mingjian Hall be mine sooner or later?" ”

"You're always overconfident, and sooner or later you're going to have to make a mistake." The man in black narrowed his elusive triangular eyes, pulling the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, and he asked, "Last time, you said that you sent some powerful men to kill Han Ye, but now what about the people?" ”

"Uh......" Ji Wenlong paused for a moment, and said with a solemn face: "They haven't come back yet." ”

"Come back to your life? Hmph, they can't come back. The man in black smiled siniestly and said, "I told you at the beginning that you have to wait until you are fully prepared before you start, and the lion fights the rabbit with all his might, so that you can survive a hundred battles." But you are always too rash, in case that kid really comes back to Situ Sheng, will your hall master's seat still sit firmly? ”

When Ji Wenlong heard this, he was immediately shocked, and said to the man in black in a panic: "Master, why don't you kill that kid yourself, as long as you are willing to take action, I believe that even if he has ten lives, it is not enough to die." ”

"Confused!" The man in black scolded: "Now the people of Shushan are looking for me outside, I have been mixed in the Mingjian Hall so that I will not be discovered by them, Mo said that it is difficult to find Han Ye now, even if I can find him, in case I pounce on the air, but I will be targeted by the people of Shushan, this is called stealing chickens and rice." The man in black said, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he asked Ji Wenlong slyly, "What?" Apprentice, are you going to put your teacher at risk? ”

"I don't dare!" Ji Wenlong knew that the man in black was testing him, so he knelt down in panic and said: "Even if the disciples are broken and their livers and brains are ruined, they will never do such a thing as framing Shizun / Pigs and dogs!" ”

"That's for the best." The man in black nodded knowingly, and said earnestly: "Wenlong, now the entire Mingjian Hall is basically under the control of our master and apprentice, Situ Sheng's yellow-mouthed child not only doesn't know it, but he still obeys my words, so our master and apprentice join forces, as long as there are no accidents, big things can be expected!" ”

"I understand!" Ji Wenlong smiled proudly, and arched his hand: "The apprentice must do his best to assist the master, help the master to complete the great cause as soon as possible, practice the Dafa of absorbing the soul, and then exterminate Shushan in one fell swoop!" ”

"Good." The man in black nodded approvingly, and then asked, "Situ Sheng's daughter seems to have run away from home not long ago?" ”

"That's right!" Ji Wenlong said angrily: "Originally, I was kind enough to marry her to save the life of the Situ family, but I didn't expect her to appreciate it at all, and she repeatedly rejected my good intentions, and now she is only afraid that she will run to Han Ye's kid early!" ”

After listening to Ji Wenlong's words, the man in black did not express his attitude immediately, but asked meaningfully: "Wenlong, do you know what kind of person you hate the most as a teacher?" ”

"Huh?" Ji Wenlong chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and asked cautiously, "What kind of person does Shizun hate the most?" ”

"I hate people who are not honest with me." The man in black said, looked at Ji Wenlong with a strange gaze, and said, "You obviously want to get her, why do you say that it is to save the lives of the Situ family?" Can't you see it as a teacher? ”

Ji Wenlong couldn't imagine that the man in black was so old and spicy, and he saw through his mind at a glance, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, nodded and said: "I can't hide anything from Shizun, that's right, I am bent on getting Situ Yunmeng, but I hate that she doesn't have me in her heart at all, some are just the kid surnamed Han, she has a strange skill, and I can't overlord the bow hard, so I'm distressed!" ”

"Just tell the truth." The man in black smiled wryly: "There is a plan for the teacher, and you need your cooperation to complete it." ”

"What plan? Please show me! Ji Wenlong knelt down.

"Get up, come here, and listen to you for the teacher." The man in black beckoned Ji Wenlong to his side and whispered to him, only to see that Ji Wenlong's eyes gradually radiated brilliance, and then nodded proudly......

The next afternoon, the North Garden of Mingjian Hall.

Situ Sheng, Ji Yun, and Yuquan Daoren were discussing in the lobby.

"Alas~!" Situ Sheng took a sip of tea and sighed: "Yunmeng, this kid has always been obedient, but I didn't expect that this time he would run out with an iron heart." ”

"Big brother don't have to worry." Ji Yun said: "My niece is full of strange arts, and she is going to Han Ye, there will be no danger on the road, so it's good for young people to experience it." ”

When the Yuquan Daoist heard this, he suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha, ridiculous!" ”

Situ Sheng and Ji Yun looked at each other, both looked at Yuquan Daoren, I didn't know what he meant, but they heard Yuquan say unhurriedly: "Eight years ago, Deputy Hall Master Han left unjustly, and the two of them, in the spirit of Taoyuan, should adopt his widow and fulfill their brotherly responsibilities, right?" Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them heard that Wulin was going to denounce Han Ye, the king of Xiaoyan, they immediately ignored it on the grounds of 'taking care of the overall situation', and I don't know how the two of them were at ease in the past eight years. Looking at it now, Ling Ai went out of the house, and the son of the deceased was besieged by martial arts people outside, the two of them were in the mood to comfort themselves, do you think it's ridiculous? Hahahaha! ”

Seeing Situ Sheng's pale face, Yuquan Daoist shook off the dust and said: "Poor Dao shouldn't say much, but Ling Ai has lived in the boudoir for a long time, I'm afraid he has no experience in the rivers and lakes at all, right?" Han Ye took her all the way to avoid being plotted and framed, the so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, how long can they stay in such a dangerous environment? Anyway, since the two of you, as hall masters, plan to do nothing, what do I have to say as an old man? ”

"Enough!" Situ Sheng closed his eyes and sighed, and said: "I only have this one daughter, I must not let her be in danger outside, I will personally set off tomorrow to chase her back, as for Han Ye, I need to think about it." ”

"If the hall master decides to do this, Poor Dao can give you some advice." Yuquan Daoist put one palm in front of him, and said: "According to the poor Dao's opinion, Miss Situ left from Yangzhou, and may go to Shushan with Han Ye to find the lost Han Yu, and go west, no accident, on the way, you must pass through Shenwu Temple, there are few people in a radius of seventy miles from Shenwu Temple, they will definitely stay there, if the time is right, the hall master can meet him there." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, the Taoist will step back first." Situ Sheng raised his hand and gave way.

"What the poor Taoist said, please think twice." Yuquan Taoist put the dust on his shoulder and said goodbye.

Ji Yun listened to Yuquan's words, and became more and more anxious, and he shouted to Situ Sheng: "Big brother, what else are you considering?" Didn't you want to bring Han Ye's nephew back a long time ago? If you can't pull off this old face, I'll go! ”

Situ Sheng looked out the door thoughtfully and sighed, "I'm just thinking about whether it's good or bad to bring him back here." ”

"Big brother!" Ji Yun walked to Situ Sheng's side and said with a serious expression: "Have you forgotten how we worked hard in this Mingjian Hall?" It is the three of us brothers who live and die together to sit in today's position! ”

Situ Sheng said abruptly: "How can I not know? ”

Ji Yun said straightforwardly: "The second brother and sister-in-law were killed by demons, and Han Yu's niece was taken to Shushan again, so Han Ye is the second brother's own flesh and blood!" You know he's still alive, you know he's still suffering outside, why are you hesitating? ”

"It's because I'm the big brother that I can't do this!" Situ Sheng slapped the handrail heavily, and said angrily and gloomily: "Third brother, you also know that this Ming Jian Hall is the foundation created by our three brothers, and the second brother doesn't want it to be destroyed, so why don't I want to get Han Ye back?" Have you thought about the consequences? ”

"I thought about it!" Ji Yun said angrily: "But it's because I think too much that I let him wander alone for eight years!" Isn't it just for martial arts people to condemn? Think when the three of us brothers were together, what winds and waves had we never seen? Not to mention the entire martial arts, even if people from all over the world want to denounce it, we have never been afraid! Now that you're old, are you going to be timid? ”

"The third ......" Situ Sheng seems to have seen the heroic and loyal Ji Yun many years ago, when the three brothers drank together, worshipped together, and greeted the enemy together, how high-spirited! But now, the second brother is gone, and there are only two half-old people left, which is full of emotion.

"The words of the Yuquan Taoist woke up the dreamer! Eldest brother! Ji Yun patted his chest and said, "I was too confused before, but I heard that even Niece Meng went out to find Han Ye, but I, who is an uncle, have never done anything, how can I face my second brother and sister-in-law when I go to Jiuquan?" Ji Yun said, two lines of fiery tears flowed down his wrinkled face, and the words were sincere, constantly impacting Situ Sheng's heart.

What does it mean to have a sudden realization? Today, eight years later, Ji Yun finally understands the meaning of this word, if he can't even protect his relatives, then what's the use of having a country?

Ji Yun's words touched Situ Sheng a lot, he got up and patted Ji Yun's shoulder, and said with a solemn face: "You're right, being a big brother can't even keep your brother's son, it's not a big brother." Situ Sheng said, put his hands behind his back, slowly walked to the door, and said, "It's been eight years, it's time to see that child." ”

Ji Yun looked at the back of Situ Sheng leaving, and didn't chase after him, he knew the character of the eldest brother, and he also knew that the eldest brother would definitely find a way to bring Han Ye back, and as the third brother, he had to stay and take care of the dangerous Mingjian Hall.

"Second brother, eldest brother promises you that if I can find him this time, I will fulfill my original promise." Situ Sheng sighed and slowly walked to the flowers in the courtyard......

When night falls, it is a summer night with a clear breeze and bright moon, the stars are shining in the sky, the bright starlight makes this night no longer lonely, with the pursuit of the stars, the moon no longer spares its own light, and even the woods and wooden houses below are immersed in a silver-white ocean.

Two men in the forest came out of the house, spread the straw mats on the ground, and lay side by side.

Lin Yin looked at the night sky with blazing eyes, and suddenly asked, "Brother Han, I am a relatively rough person, but you are delicate on the outside and cold on the inside, how can you use this five-foot sword?" As he spoke, Lin Yin glanced at Han Ye beside him.

"I didn't do it voluntarily." Han Ye said blankly: "At that time, the sword seemed to be talking and told me to pick it up, so I couldn't help but pick it up." I've been a little hesitant, I'm thinking, what should I do if it's an evil sword? ”

Lin Yin smiled and said: "There is no good or evil in the sword in this world, good and evil only come from the heart of the sword-wielder, just like the six worlds of heaven and earth, there is nothing absolutely good and bad." If a person only thinks about killing, even the immortal weapon is just a tool for them to kill. Then, Lin Yin said another sentence that made Han Ye have endless memories: "The sword is made of iron, it lives because of blood, it moves because of its heart, and its obsession urges it to hold it in its hand, and its fighting spirit makes it swing forward." A sword is a belief. ”

Han Ye bowed his head with emotion and said: "Brother Lin, although the master has taught me some swordsmanship, but since I used the magic sword, I have found that many swordsmanship cannot be used, I heard you say that you are good at using the big sword, can you give me some advice?" ”

Lin Yin heartily agreed: "Actually, if you don't say it, I plan to teach you, because I feel that there are some hidden things in your heart that are in line with me, maybe we are the same people, but we have taken different paths." ”

Han Ye was infected by Lin Yin, and laughed heartily, and after laughing, he frowned and said worriedly: "Brother Lin, in fact, what I'm most worried about is nothing else. I have a deep blood vengeance, but because of my lack of skills, I can't find the murderer and can't take revenge; I took two girls with me, and because my strength was not strong, I couldn't protect them. If one day I want to take revenge and repay my teacher's kindness, I will be affected by them like this, so that I can feel at ease? ”

"Don't fret." Lin Yin comforted: "As long as you know where you are going, the whole world will make way for you." Only by working hard can we see hope, not waiting to see hope. ”

"It's not because you see hope that you work hard, but because you work hard to see hope?" When Han Ye heard this, he clenched his fists and kept these words firmly in his heart......
