Xing Yueying worried: "But his mentality is uneven, and he may become even worse." ”

Ling Tianxiao raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a wry smile: "If you insist on this, then you will kill him." Although he is a wicked man, he did not take the initiative to provoke me, and I really have no reason to insist on taking his life. ”

Xing Yue was puzzled: "Then why did you meddle in this matter?" ”

Ling Tianxiao stared at Li Zhan twice, and said with a smile: "His father once forged a sword for me, which is somewhat kind to me, and I am just repaying the favor." ”

Before he could say anything, Yan Mu fell down, and the whole person didn't move. Xing Yueying stepped forward to be concerned, and after a little examination, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He is just physically exhausted, and his life is fine." ”

Ling Tianxiao's face was calm, and he waved his hand and said, "You take him away first, I still have some things to deal with." Xing Yueying originally wanted to say something, but she was a little worried about Yan Mu's situation, so she had to help him up and take him away.

Ling Tianxiao saw the two of them walking away, so he turned around. Li Zhan looked at him with eyes, and said movingly on the spot: "Engong, I really can't repay your great kindness." ”

Ling Tianxiao said disapprerovantly: "Don't say these words yet, when the people from the government will come here, you will be suspicious." I think you should leave quickly, don't take the main road, it's better to take a long detour. ”

Li Zhan suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, Engong and my father know each other, and my father's grave is buried in the back mountain, and it just so happens that I have to say goodbye to him now, why don't Engong come with me?" ”

Ling Tianxiao pondered for a long time, nodded slightly, and the three of them walked together and walked towards the back mountain. After a while, they came to the front of a tomb, and the stele was written with the words "Li Ye is buried here".

Ling Tianxiao looked at the tombstone and sighed loudly: "I didn't expect that the three-year appointment would end up being unexpected." With that, he slowly removed the flask, took a sip first, and then sprinkled it forward, as if drinking it again. After a long time, Ling Tianxiao suddenly said, "By the way, before Ling Zun died, did he entrust a wooden box to you?" ”

Li Zhan was stunned in his heart, and asked rhetorically, "Why did Engong suddenly ask like this?" ”

Ling Tianxiao shrugged his arm and smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that when I said goodbye to him that day, he once mentioned to me that when I came down the mountain, he would personally give me a gift, and that gift would be packed in a wooden box." Thinking about it now, he was seven points drunk at the time, maybe it was just his drunken words. ”

Li Zhan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after hesitating for a while, he said solemnly: "I can't hide it, my ancestor did leave a wooden box." He had instructed that it should be buried with it so that it might not be discovered, and that if anyone mentioned it, he would give it to that person. ”

Ling Tianxiao was surprised: "Buried? He looked embarrassed and embarrassed. Although he didn't want to go against Li Ye's good intentions, he wanted to turn over the tomb and explore it, which would inevitably be a little disrespectful to the deceased.

Compared with the hesitant Ling Tianxiao, Li Zhan said disapprovingly: "My father rarely visited his best friends during his lifetime, and he specially left a relic for Engong, he must think that you are a very important person, I believe that my father will not mind this." With that, he rolled up his sleeves, picked up his hoe, and began to turn over the earth.

With Ling Tianxiao's help, the tomb was quickly excavated, and Li Zhan's family was not wealthy at that time, and the coffin looked simple and simple, and it had been eroded in many places. The two of them lifted the lid of the coffin together, and the white bones inside were indeed holding a long and narrow wooden box, and after Ling Tianxiao took out the wooden box, he buried the coffin.

Ling Tianxiao looked at the wooden box in his hand and muttered, "I don't know what kind of gift this is." ”

Li Zhan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "My father usually concentrates on casting iron, and he has no other hobbies, according to the length of this wooden box, I guess it should be a sword." ”

Ling Tianxiao felt reasonable, so he slowly opened the wooden box, it was really a long sword. He took a closer look, and the scabbard of this sword was inlaid with amethyst, and the sheath body was based on black, accompanied by dark purple interplay, which seemed elegant and generous.

Li Zhanwei hesitated, he had followed Li Ye since he was a child, and he knew very well that his father Li Ye didn't like to ink on the scabbard, but he didn't expect to make an exception this time, so it can be seen that this sword will definitely give him all his strength, and it is a lifelong effort.

Ling Tianxiao pulled out his sword, and the sword body instantly flashed with a faint purple light, like a luminous pearl. The inscription on the top is in the shape of fish scales, like flying fish, swimming on the sword body, which is beautiful.

Li Zhan was shocked and exclaimed: "This is by no means my boasting, I dare to vouch for it with my head, this sword is the best sword I have ever seen in my life." I have never seen my father forge such a sword, and this sword is not inferior to the sword of the Famous Sword Villa, but it is even better. ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled and said, "You seem to appreciate this sword very much, why don't I give it to you." ”

Li Zhan shook his head violently, and said in great trepidation: "Then how can I do it, handing over the sword to Engong is my father's last will." Besides, although I admire this sword, I still understand that the sword is given to heroes. ”

Ling Tianxiao sighed lightly and said, "I'm not a hero, but since this sword is what he wants to give me, then I might as well accept it respectfully." The two looked at each other and burst out laughing. For some reason, they had a great conversation and hit it off at first sight.

After a while, Ling Tianxiao did not forget his business, he urged Li Zhan to go on the road earlier, and only then did he feel at ease when he saw the couple leave.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the snow was all over the sky, and on the muddy and snowy road, Ling Tianxiao walked towards the town in the wind. Suddenly, Duan Yujin swept into the air, stood in front of him, and asked, "Aren't you going to save Su Huan?" ”

Ling Tianxiao chuckled and said, "Didn't you go to help him?" ”

Duan Yujin raised his eyes and frowned, "How can you be sure that I will definitely save him?" ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled at him and said leisurely, "You and I have known each other for many years, how could I not know who you are." You feigned indifference to the matter, but you followed. If I'm not mistaken, after I left Li Zhan's residence, you already notified the government to go and find Su Huan, right? ”

Duan Yujin sighed and frowned, groaned for a long time, and sighed: "Alas, everything was expected by you. Immediately, he took out a money bag from his arms, smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have also made a lot of fate, and it is not too much of a loss." ”

Ling Tianxiao was surprised and said, "This money belongs to Su Huan?" ”

Duan Yujin glanced at him, the corners of his mouth lifted lightly, and he said neatly: "I saved his life, take some reward, this is not too much, right?" ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled secretly in his heart, if this was said by ordinary people, it would not hurt, but Duan Yujin was also half a disciple of the Buddhist Sect, so it would not be good for this matter to spread out. Ling Tianxiao shrugged his shoulders, as if he hadn't heard this, and continued: "It's late at night, and it's cold, let's find a place to rest first!" ”

Duan Yujin rolled his eyes and asked, "It's time to find a place to rest, but what about after resting?" Early tomorrow morning, do you plan to leave for the Chivalry Villa first, or go to the Empty Hidden Temple first? ”

After thinking for a moment, Ling Tianxiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think it's better to go to the Chivalry Villa first." ”

Duan Yujin seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and grinned: "Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and it seems that you are no exception." I have already prepared two horses and a few jugs of wine, and we can drink them while we ride west. ”

Ling Tianxiao was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Is it necessary to rush overnight?" ”

Duan Yujin shook her head and teased: "Then don't blame you guy, you have nothing to provoke that little girl, make her care about you." If my guess is right, if you don't set off now, she will chase you tomorrow morning. ”

Ling Tianxiao let out a long sigh and said, "Alas, I am also a thousand unwilling. After finishing speaking, Duan Yujin really brought two horses, and the horses were equipped with a brand-new full saddle bridle, and blades could be placed next to the saddle.

The two men mounted their horses, stepped on brass horses, pulled up the reins, and galloped westward.

Not long after he left, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the rear, and Ling Tianxiao looked back and saw that the people who came were Xing Yueying and Yan Mu. Ling Tianxiao stopped, turned to look at Xing Yueying, and said in surprise, "How do you know I'm here?" ”

Xing Yue was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "Who would know that you are here, I don't have that much spare time." Ling Tianxiao looked at her carefully, looking at her puzzled expression, it didn't look like she was really here for him. After asking, he realized that Xing Yueying also planned to go to the Chivalry Villa and meet them, which was just a coincidence.

Ling Tianxiao seemed to be aroused and asked, "What are you doing in the Chivalry Villa?" ”

Xing Yueying said coldly: "You don't join the Imperial Sword Sect, why do you have to ask so much." Ling Tianxiao was amazed, they were only separated by less than half an hour, and Xing Yueying's attitude towards him became extremely cold, and he couldn't help but be unbelievable.

Duan Yujin looked at the two of them, suddenly understood something, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, and said with a smug smile: "So that's the case, Miss Xing's trick is really clever in retreating." ”

Xing Yueying was poked by him on the spot, stunned, and immediately put on a pretty face, pretending to be calm: "Hmph, don't talk nonsense, I just respect his choice, and the so-called Tao is different." ”

Ling Tianxiao pondered for a long time, suddenly realized, and then smiled: "It seems that I underestimated you, I didn't expect you to use a scheming and almost deceived me." ”

Xing Yue's face flushed, she pursed her lips and said, "The head is yours, whatever you think, I can't care about you." ”

Ling Tianxiao rolled his eyes around, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, I actually have some understanding with your faction, after I have everything in order, I will go to visit your faction again, I don't know what to do?" ”

Xing Yueying's beautiful eyes shone brightly, and she was both surprised and happy: "Do you mean it really? ”

Ling Tianxiao nodded, and said with a smile: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

Duan Yujin saw that the two had reached a consensus, and took the opportunity to propose: "Meeting is fate, otherwise it's good, let's go on the road together, and we can take care of each other." ”
