After a few days, Ji Ye woke up and opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a cave dome in front of him.

knocked on his drowsy head, sat up, his limbs and chest were no longer swollen and painful as they were then, only his left arm was painful and he couldn't exert his strength, thinking that it should be that Li Xiaose's last palm was shocked by internal force and some fractures.

Recalling that the fire poison was back at that time, Ji Ye still had palpitations, if it wasn't for the old man at the last moment to absorb the fire poison overflowing in his meridians, I am afraid that he would have died in the backyard of the palace.

Ji Ye looked around, and he was really in a cave the size of a wing, and he was lying on a slightly higher open space, with a straw mat under him. There was nothing in the cave but a bonfire that was about to be extinguished.

It was probably the old man who brought himself here, Ji Ye thought to himself.

And the old man's hoarse voice came from outside the entrance of the cave: "Boy, are you awake?" ”

Suddenly hearing a human voice, Ji Ye was startled, and said in his heart, how did he know that I had woken up outside the cave?

Walking out of the cave with doubts, I only saw that there was a waterhole on the right side of the cave entrance, and the waterfall was connected to it, but in the depths of winter, the flowing water had frozen down and turned into ice.

Then look at the old man's tall and thin figure, his white hair tied up, but he was only wearing a plain brown single coat, sitting cross-legged facing the waterhole, and let the cold wind blow through and not move.

Ji Ye took two more steps forward, and before he could speak, he only heard the old man say, "Boy, your name is Li Zhuohua?" ”

Hearing him say this suddenly, Ji Ye was shocked, cold sweat fell straight despite the cold, and his heart was like a drum in panic, thinking that his name Li Zhuohua was only known to the old man and a few people in the villa, no, Fang Yu, I also told Fang Yu, could it be that he betrayed me?

After thinking about it in the blink of an eye, Ji Ye immediately turned around, rushed to the straw mat and took the sword, and then returned to the cave entrance and raised the sword in front of him, and said as if facing a great enemy: "Who are you, how do you know my original name and surname?" After saying that, I secretly regretted it in my heart, wouldn't it be considered that I had admitted it when I said this?

As soon as the old man turned around, he suddenly got up and flashed in front of Ji Ye like lightning.

Seeing this, Ji Ye wanted to draw his sword, but as soon as the sword body was pulled out halfway, the old man pressed it back, and the sword in his hand and the scabbard were somehow snatched by him, and in the blink of an eye, he pointed his backhand on his shoulder.

Looking at the old man's sharp eyebrows and hooked nose, a pair of thin eyes looked at Ji Ye indifferently and said, "What? If you still want to make a move on me, I can't treat you as gently as Li Shangyang's old boy, who doesn't make half of his internal strength. ”

When Ji Ye saw him mention the old man, he didn't think it was the one who wanted to harm him, and his nervous and beating heart also relaxed, and said, "You know the old man?" But the old man asked you to come and save me? Where is the old man now? ”

The old man frowned and said impatiently, "Why do you have so many questions? As he spoke, he tossed up his iron sword, turned around and sat back on the edge of the waterhole and continued, "Do you know who this sword is in your hand?" ”

Ji Ye took it with both hands steadily, but he was a little confused by this question, and said suspiciously: "Whose thing?" Naturally, it was bought with silver, but this is a neighbor... A friend gave it to me for fifty taels of silver. ”

The old man laughed twice and said, "Buy? This sword was used by Li Shangyang when the two of us were young when they came out of the mountain, and it was given by the master and was called 'Rotten Ke'. ”

Ji Ye pulled out his long sword and looked down, this sword was also born and died with him several times, and his feelings were already very deep, and he asked, "Then why was it in the hands of that blacksmith when he was in Yunzhou?" ”

The old man still didn't look back, and said lightly: "If what I remember is correct, this rotten Ke sword should have been placed in the ancestral hall of Feiyun Mountain back then, and I think it should have been specially taken by the two of them, and put it in the blacksmith's hand for you to take it." ”

Ji Ye was even more puzzled when he heard this, how did the old man and Uncle Wei Jing know that they would come to buy this iron sword? Isn't it that someone has reported the news since he left the villa, or has he been secretly protecting each other from beginning to end in Yunzhou?

It's about the old man and Uncle Wei Jing, he doesn't think that this is harming him, but he won't know until the next time they meet.

So Ji Ye asked again: "Listening to what Fang just said, then you must be the old man's senior brother?" I don't know the old gentleman's name. ”

The old man turned around at this time and said slightly angrily: "The old man in your mouth is Li Shangyang, what's the matter, do I look older than him?" My surname is Lin, my name is Ui, and I am his junior brother. ”

"Senior brother? I can be regarded as the old man's apprentice, then you are my uncle, meet Uncle Lin. Ji Ye arched his hand and bowed down to Lin Xuan.

Knowing that it was indeed related to the old man, Ji Ye was in a much better mood, and the grief before fainting was forgotten for the time being.

Lin Xuanjian was still slightly angry and scolded: "Uncle Shi, I don't have a nephew like you, I was beaten like that stupid boy like that, and I lost my Lin Cang's name when I said it." ”

Although he was very disdainful and ruthless, when he saw Ji Ye give up, he still got up in time to accept his salute, and then sat back in his place.

Recalling the opposite palm with Li Xiaose, Ji Ye touched the back of his head embarrassedly and said: "He has strong internal strength, even if I try my best to call on the internal force of fire poison, I can't match him." I still want to thank Uncle Shi for saving my life, if you hadn't appeared in time, I am afraid that when the internal injuries are completely attacked, it will not be long before you explode and die. ”

Lin Xuanjian shook his head and said, "If you want to thank you, just keep the old man in your mouth." It's not going to explode and die, Li Shangyang's old boy... ”

Halfway through his words, he looked at Ji Ye and pouted, but still changed his words and said: "My senior brother, he has already widened the meridians for you, so that although the true qi in your body is violent and agitated, the meridians will not be broken, and because you have been tormented by this Xuanhuo Gong residual poison all year round, the meridians are stronger than ordinary people. It's just that people's spiritual heartstrings always have elasticity and toughness, if they endure pain for too long, or if the pain is too severe to bear, the heartstrings will break, and people will go crazy, no different from a dead person. ”

As if he remembered something, he looked sharply at the surface of the waterhole.

Ji Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Sure enough, the old man asked you to come to the rescue?" No, no, since it came in such a timely manner, it must have followed all the way? ”

Lin Xuanjian said: "Even if he asked me to save you, it's just that I just arrived in Beijing a few days ago, and I heard that there was an ancestor worship ceremony on the fifth day of the new year, so I found you according to the portrait." As he spoke, he took out a rolled-up painting from his bosom.

Ji Ye took the painting and unfolded it, it was indeed the painting himself, I don't know who it was from the old man and Uncle Wei Jing, so he asked again: "Where is the old man now?" Didn't they come with you to Snow Country? ”

Lin shook his head and said, "No, his old boy seems to have gone to find something." He glanced up at Ji Ye slightly, and then said, "Besides, it's useless for them to follow. ”

Ji Ye was already thinking of Li Shangyang in his heart, and when he heard him say this, he asked angrily: "What, then you have a solution?" The old man has taken care of him for many years, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have become a puddle of ashes, how could it be useless? ”

Lin Xuanjian was not annoyed when he heard this, but just looked at Ji Ye's dissatisfied expression, and said calmly: "I naturally have a way to solve it, otherwise I wouldn't have been entrusted by him to come to you." Do you know why your old man has not completely cured your internal problems for so many years? ”

Ji Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
