After staying in Xianju for more than half a month, Qi Taichu except for the trick he comprehended at the beginning, other things were like flowing water, and he forgot about it in a hurry, feeling that he might not be the material for reading dead books, so he walked out of Xianju.

"Brother Qi, why did you come out?" Wang Yushu was fishing by the lake with his back to Xianju, and when he heard the sound, he spoke. Qi Taichu shook his head and looked at the ground, and said in frustration: "It's boring to watch, don't look at it." ”

"I have a doubt, Brother Qi, you have been in the mountains for more than ten years, and now you are twenty years old and the same age as me, but you have no one to teach and read on the mountain, how do you recognize the words in this book?" Wang Yushu turned his head to look at Qi Taichu in confusion, Qi Taichu spread his hands and said: "Grandpa always tells me some things about the rivers and lakes, and I still recognize a little bit of it, at least I don't know the lights." ”

"That's called illiterate..."Wang Yushu patted his head helplessly.

Qi Taichu scratched his head in embarrassment and changed the topic and said, "I haven't seen the old briquettes for a long time, what about others?" ”。

"You said Lao Xiang, he would probably be drinking in his own yard." Wang Yushu saw the fish bite the hook, and suddenly mentioned it, and a big carp with white flowers was brought up, Qi Taichu saw this, gave a thumbs up, and said: "It's amazing, I raised two fish when I was a child, my grandfather bought them for me, I put them in a small puddle half a mile behind my mother, more than ten years, I don't know how big it is." ”

More than ten years? Small puddles? The bones of those who are not dead are gone! Although he thought so in his heart, he still echoed what Qi Taichu said and replied: "Yes, maybe they have all become essences." After all, the swimming fish koi in Qingwu Lake have general spirituality. ”

"Regardless of them, it's better to take care of yourself first, I decided, since I can't understand the book and it's boring, then I'll break into the rivers and lakes, start from the east first, fight with people and hone my swordsmanship, there should be many well-known sword masters in the world, right?!" Qi Taichu walked to the lake and sat down beside Wang Yushu.

Wang Yushu was stunned for a moment, put the bamboo pole aside, and looked at Qi Taichu with a smile, which made him feel inexplicable, and shook his hand, Wang Yushu came back to his senses and said: "In today's ranking in the world, there are four well-known sword immortals in the world, namely the Peach Sword Immortal on Wuling Island in Dongdaiyuan, the Dao Sword Immortal in Longhu Mountain, the Wine Sword Immortal who lives in a fixed place and the Angry Sword Immortal in Danning City in the east!" Of course, there are still some people who have not been called the name of sword immortals, their use of swords is more or less no worse than the four sword immortals, but the realm can't be ranked, oh yes, there may be some strong people who are far away from people in the mountains, anyway, there are thousands of people who use swords in the world, and the strong must account for at least half of them! ”

"It looks like there's still a long way to go!" Qi Taichu sighed, but he was not discouraged, but his fighting spirit was even more surging!

……

May 13 grinding knife rain, May 28 washing street rain.

The pace of time is very fast, people can't catch it and can't close it, Qi Taichu also lived in this Nanyang palace for more than two months, although the time is not very long, but he also met many people here, there are seemingly calm and honest but especially love to wander around the Nanyang prince Wang Yushu, one day when you see people laugh hehe, as soon as you get into trouble, the fast old servant Lao Xiang, when you see Qi Taichu, you cover your face and trot away from the red beans and so on.

On this day, dozens of people gathered outside the palace, all of whom came to see off the prince Wang Yushu and Qi Taichu, Wang Yuan stood on the steps, wanted to say something but couldn't speak, patted Wang Yushu and Qi Taichu on the shoulder, and then walked to the side, and then several maidservants in the prince's mansion carried some small gourds, which were filled with salt, which was comparable to golden salt!

"Lao Xiang, why are you here?" Wang Yushu suddenly saw an old man with a hunched back coming out of the crowd, Lao Xiang grinned and did not answer Wang Yushu, but looked at Wang Yuan and said: "General, the old servant has been with the son for more than thirteen years, and now the son is everything to the old servant, can you let me accompany the son?" ”

"Lao Xiang, what are you doing! What's the fun, we're in the rivers and lakes, and you don't know martial arts, go back! Wang Yushu knew that his adventure must be dangerous this time, and he didn't want Lao Xiang to be implicated because of this.

"Hmph, who said I don't know martial arts?! Young master, you're different, aren't you! Lao Xiang said that Wu Gong stiffened his spine fiercely, as if he was very proud, and then looked very aggrieved when he said the last sentence.

Wang Yuan smiled warmed up and said, "If there is one more person, it doesn't matter, Yushu, you can let Lao Xiang follow you." Wang Yushu knew that his little arm couldn't twist his thigh, so he gave up, three people and three horses, in the past two months, Qi Taichu had already learned to ride a horse.

After bidding farewell to everyone, the three of them greeted the rising sun, and their blurred backs gradually disappeared into the east......

"General, why did you let Xiang Liujian follow them?" One of his subordinates didn't understand and asked Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan turned to look at him, then looked at the east again, and said: "It's a good thing that Lao Xiang is going this time, first, he can stand up when he encounters a crisis that Taichu can't cope with on the way, and second, he is willing to face the fear in his heart this time, which will be of great help to his martial arts!" ”

The three of them rode side by side, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere was very joyful, and suddenly, Lao Xiang spoke: "Young master, do you want to hear my story?" ”

When Wang Yushu heard this, he sensed that something was wrong, ran forward, and shouted: "No wine, don't listen!" Hearing that Lao Xiang smiled slightly, he immediately drove his horse to follow, Qi Taichu was stunned, the two had already run out for a distance, and then they also drove their horses to follow.

Before dark, the three of them arrived at an inn, this inn has two floors, the upper floor is the guest room, the lower floor is for eating, there are these eight tables, enter the main entrance, you can see that there are two rows of stairs in front of you, this is up to the second floor.

Wang Yushu and Qi Taichu walked in, Lao Xiang went in and leaned out, looking at a long wooden stick erected in the distance, with a flag floating on the stick, and the flag was embroidered with the words "Dragon Gate Inn", and then looked at both sides, and then slowly entered the house and closed the door gently, but it looked like a thief.

If Lao Xiang knew that Wang Yushu and Qi Taichu thought like this, he would definitely have to purse his mouth and look at them with an aggrieved look.

Wang Yushu beckoned the store to get a few dishes, and the three pots of rice wine found a table to sit down, and the three of them sat at the table, and Lao Xiang started telling a story at this time to scare the two of them.

"I heard that there is a group of people in the rivers and lakes, they make money for human flesh, slaughter people and make meat dishes, in order to make things easier, they often have a name, usually the most are inns and the like, they sweat in the food and wine, so that the guests are unconscious, and then dragged to the basement under the kitchen, the people are flayed alive, and the skin of the neck part is completely cut off with a very sharp kitchen knife, especially the face, some people with good knife skills, they cut people who can make people not die for a while, Some people wake up and find themselves struggling indiscriminately, causing their blood vessels to burst and die! ”

"Lao Xiang, you put your ears here, and I'll tell you a secret." Wang Yushu beckoned, Lao Xiang leaned his head over with a curious expression, but unexpectedly Wang Yushu shouted into his ear: "Lao Xiang! What a damn you! ”

Lao Xiang's reaction was the same as Qi Taichu's first roar into his ear, the three of them looked at each other and immediately laughed, and the three of them raised their wine glasses and collided together, drinking them all.

"By the way, what did you want to say at that time?" Wang Yushu frowned spicy after drinking and looked at Lao Xiang.

"Oh, tell a story!" Lao Xiang's right hand raised his index finger and swung it up and down, looking very proud, Qi Taichu took a sip of wine and said, "Then what story are you going to tell?" ”

"Let's tell the story of Lao Xiang's past!"
