After entering the alley, there are a few people walking around here in broad daylight, but they don't look very serious on the outside. Or ragged, or depressed, these people ...... I'm afraid I'll lose all my money in the gambling house or get drunk in the tavern.

Seeing that Li Changyuan was a young man and upright, when he passed by, many people would inevitably turn their heads and look at Li Changyuan up and down.

Finally, before I could get to the place, I was blocked into a dead end by two drunks.

"Yo, little brother, it's a coincidence."

"Don't talk nonsense, do you have any money on ——、, lend me a little bit to my brothers, and pay you back tomorrow!"

These two people were very polite, and they opened their mouths to come. Both of them were full of alcohol, and they didn't know which tavern they came out of just now, and they drank a lot, and they looked at Li Changyuan's eyes with a look of confusion.

"Get out of the way."

Li Changyuan only said two words, and his face was very serious, which was a very polite attitude, but in the wild, Li Changyuan didn't bother to speak.

"Humph!"

One of the drunken gamblers grinned at the corners of his mouth, shaking his body arrogantly, shaking his head from side to side, Leyangyang approached two steps, his face was almost on Li Changyuan's face, and the smell of alcohol was even more smoky.

also contemptuously mocked Li Changyuan:

"Little brother, seeing that you are also fine-skinned and tender-fleshed, and you think you are a swordsman with a sword on your back? Hiccup, walking the rivers and lakes are about morality, do you understand? ~ Borrow a little money from our brothers today, and we'll pay you back double tomorrow, what's the fun of that? ”

A gambler added:

"Why not."

"Ah, yes, yes, why not~"

Li Changyuan didn't want to waste more time here, sighed slightly, and groped for a moment from the placket of his clothes, at this time the gambler in front of him had already stretched out his hand in front of him and waited.

After a while, Li Changyuan threw the two copper plates into his palm and said indifferently:

"Let's go."

There is a weight in the palm of the hand, and when you look at it, two pennies?

“……”

The gambler who stretched his hands looked at the money in his palm, and then looked at Li Changyuan, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he immediately lost his temper, and his face was annoyed:

"Hey? You fool yourself! It's not enough to buy buns to stuff your teeth, so fool your grandfather? ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and prepared to greet Li Changyuan with the two coins in his hand, but the next scene was stunned by the colleagues behind him.

Before he raised his hand, half of his friend's arm fell to the ground with the copper plate.

The angry gambler realized that his right arm had been broken.

W-When is this!?

didn't even see the other party draw his sword, and his hand was broken!

"Ahh Ahhhh My hand!!! ”

After the cut surface was exhibited, the blood flowed like a spring, and it couldn't stop flowing, and the gambler couldn't stop crying and howling as he hugged his broken arm.

The gambler in the back was so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak, and stood stupidly in place and watched, not knowing what he should do.

They also realized that they had provoked a terrible big man.

Swordsman, real swordsman!

"Get out."

Li Changyuan said a word coldly, and the companion behind the severed hand gambler in front of him directly stretched out his hand, grabbed the clothes on his colleague's shoulder, and responded again and again:

"Get out, get out!"

"Ahhhh My hand! Oh my hands! ——”

The companion helped pick up the half of the arm that had fallen on the ground, and hurriedly turned around and fled with his companion.

I don't know whose scourge those two are, but they have nothing to do to provoke themselves. Is it because your reputation is not big enough?

It seems that he has not come back to show up for more than two years, and many people in Nankeng City have forgotten their appearance and name.

Or is it that the outside of yourself has changed a lot?

What Li Changyuan didn't know was that in the past two years, he had cultivated himself in the Phantom Heaven Sword Sect, eaten and drank well, in addition to growing a lot, his originally immature and delicate face had also become angular, his facial features were shapely, and his jawbone lines were much more exquisite.

used to be cute and love an innocent little flesh face, but now he is a heroic boy with a cold face and no dust.

However, there are still a few months before he reaches adulthood on his sixteenth birthday, and he plans to return to the sect at that time.

Stepping over the pool of blood left on the ground, Li Changyuan walked towards the depths of the alley, there were still a lot of strange eyes on the road, but fortunately, after hearing the movement just now, there was no one who came to look for trouble.

Knock knock.

"Enter."

The people inside answered, and Li Changyuan pushed the door in.

It was still the same as before, the light inside was still dim, and in broad daylight, there was not a single window in the room, only the light shining in from the doorway, and there was no light in the house.

"Senior Huang Tian, long time no see."

"Well, yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the old man hasn't thought about it, you still remember here, and you will come back to see it when you have time."

"I'll be back with or without time."

Huang Tian was sitting at the counter reading a book, with reading glasses with round lenses on his face, and he was just chatting with Li Changyuan in a distracted manner, but when he heard that Li Changyuan's tone was a little wrong, Huang Tian immediately shifted his gaze and looked at Li Changyuan from the page, and said in surprise:

"The dog is making trouble again?"

"The old-timers should know what kind of existence the Iron Bull Sect is for me, and what kind of significance it has, seniors, you don't know the whole story?"

“…… Oh, that stinky boy, if there is anything he can take the initiative to tell the old man, except that the old man himself sent someone to investigate, but he didn't expect him to provoke him outside the city. ”

Li Changyuan said coldly:

"Huang Tian senior, personal grievances, he will pay with his life, you, do you have complaints?"

“……”

Huang Tian didn't speak in time, if an ordinary person dared to say this in front of Huang Tian, I was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to get out of this teahouse.

But only Li Changyuan is different.

Huang Tian was silent, only to see him frowning and pondering, Li Changyuan could see that Huang Tian was struggling, after all, that was his only son.

Although this son is not angry and has been a mess since he was a child, he is also a close relative who is related to him......

In the middle of the night, Li Changyuan left the small teahouse in the alley.

The reply he got from Huang Tiankou was a request that Li Changyuan could still accept:

"Give the old man two days, and the old man will go to the dog to find out, if there is really such a thing, the dog will let the little friend deal with it."

……

Well, give him two days, even if it's a favor. ’

Walking out of the alley, there was a heroic young man on the street, walking all the way chic, the white robe was particularly eye-catching on the street, and many eyes looked at Li Changyuan.

Most of them can't recognize the character Li Changyuan.

Two days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, so let's find a place to stay. Li Changyuan walked to the restaurant where he once lived.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Er's enthusiastic little steps came and asked with a smile at the door:

"What do you want to drink?"

"Whatever."

"Okay~"

Then Li Changyuan walked up to the second floor by himself.

There are a lot of people on the first floor, and the noisy environment makes Li Changyuan a little uncomfortable, but the second floor is clean, there are no people, there are not many people, and it is not noisy. Li Changyuan still liked according to his habits, and took a fancy to the empty table and a window position at a glance.

After sitting down, it is customary to look out the window at the street and enjoy the scenery.

This was the place where I had the first drink with Zhang Wenliang, and I still remember that after Zhang Wenliang got himself drunk, he slipped away by himself, woke up and disappeared, and waited for half a month before coming back to see someone.

Having said that, I haven't seen the shopkeeper of this restaurant since I entered the door, I don't know where I went, Xiao Er is not the little two of the year, I have changed someone, I don't know if the shopkeeper has also changed.

"Guest, this is your wine, and someone has already paid for it."

Xiao Er came up with a jar of wine and said to Li Changyuan with a polite smile.

Li Changyuan was very curious:

"Who's sending the wine?"

Xiao Er smiled awkwardly, he couldn't say a name for a while, and before Xiao Er could explain, someone from upstairs came down, with a familiar voice:

"Fellow Daoist, I haven't seen you for a long time, the avenue is open."

When Li Changyuan heard the prestige, he came down from the top of the third floor, and when he walked down completely, and saw the whole body, Li Changyuan smiled.

Although the other party was wearing a hat on his head and a sword at his waist, the hat covered his face and he couldn't see his face, Li Changyuan recognized who it was at a glance just by the other party's dress.

Watching him come downstairs, Li Changyuan said with a smile:

"Wang Peng, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have been free in Nankeng City recently?"

"Hehehe, I'm smiling, I'm not free, I often come back here, I'm a frequent visitor to Nankeng City, and I'm also a frequent visitor to this restaurant."

Seeing that the two hit it off at first sight, they talked happily with each other, and Xiao Er also retreated silently with each other.

Wang Peng sat down in the vacant seat opposite Li Changyuan and talked with Li Changyuan:

"I haven't seen you for more than two years, you've grown up a lot, and I still don't recognize you for a while."

"And how do you know it's me?"

"Hehe, your appearance may change, but the sword behind you won't change much."

Oh, it turned out that he recognized the sword on his back, speaking of which, this ancient sword was still obtained from Wang Peng. When talking about this, Li Changyuan was a little curious and asked:

"Oh yes, where exactly did you get this sword?"

After Wang Peng pondered for a while, he poured himself a bowl of wine, picked up the bowl and drank it all, after being happy, Wang Peng exhaled happily, took off the hat on his head, looked at the table, and whispered:

"It's fate, alas, ......, in fact, I also know that a swordsman like me, who has been practicing for half a year, can't see any growth, so I don't believe in fate, as soon as I have time and energy, I will go out to explore, thinking that I can meet some opportunities.

Your sword, you can't believe it, in fact, I walked alone to the end of the north, the end of the Qiujin Continent, where there is a black river......"

"Well, and then what?"

Li Changyuan sensed a hint of secret, urging Wang Peng to continue.

Listen carefully to Wang Peng said:

"The banks of the river are very wide, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big river, so I wanted to find out why the water is black, and I held it in my hand, but I found that the water in my hand was extremely clear.

At that time, I thought that there was something under the river that made the water look black, so I threw stones into the river, and after several times in a row, there was no movement on the surface of the river except for the splash of the stones I threw at it. But it was while I was wandering along the shore looking for rocks that I found a hole in the ground. ”

"Holes?"

"Well, the entrance to the cave is not big, it is diagonally downward, and it is dark at a glance, and you can't see the bottom, but it is still in the direction of the other side of the black river. I went down to look out of curiosity, but before I could go deeper, there was no light in it, and I couldn't see it at all. ”

Li Changyuan asked curiously:

"And how did you find this sword?"

Wang Peng thought about it again, but he couldn't recall the specific details, and muttered:

"It's been a long time, I vaguely remember that I was also in a daze and went in, I don't know how deep it went in, it was dark all around, and I felt something that I could pick up, but fortunately there was no fork in the road, I picked up the thing in my hand and turned around, and climbed for a long time before I came out of the hole."

"Hmm......"

Li Changyuan couldn't hear it clearly, there were holes in the ground on the banks around the Black River?

And the inclination direction in the cave is towards the other side of the Black River?

Li Changyuan thought about it carefully, and there was a feeling in his heart that it was not too secondary, but he didn't say it. Wang Peng still tried to think about those things, Li Changyuan waited for a while and didn't wait for Wang Peng to say anything again, so Li Changyuan also took the initiative to change the topic:

"Okay, don't pursue the past, tell me how you've been doing lately?"

"Ah, me, it's still the same as before, I often come to live in this restaurant in Nankeng City, and almost everyone in this small city knows me. Usually I go out to find someone to learn kendo, and if there is no suitable person to learn, I go to the nearby city to receive a reward from the court or the sect, and live with a small amount of money. ”

"Drink!"

Li Changyuan and Wang Peng went down a few bowls, and a jar of wine immediately bottomed out.

Maybe it's because of his high cultivation, and now he doesn't get drunk so easily when he drinks, but Wang Peng's cheeks are slightly red, and he looks a little drunk.

"Little Er, one more altar!"

Response came from downstairs:

"Great!"

Soon after, it was another jar of wine, Wang Peng was embarrassed, and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist, drinking too much alcohol will hurt you."

"Remember the last time you drank?"

"Last time...... What happened last time? ”

Li Changyuan smiled and said:

"What, pretend to be confused, you didn't ask last time, just help me pay for the wine, this time it's my return, don't worry about the money, just drink!"

Wang Peng was still worried in his heart that Li Changyuan drank too much, and he couldn't afford to pay for the wine at that time, after all, he hadn't gone out to receive any rewards recently, and those higher-level reward lists couldn't be completed even if he revealed them, and the low-difficulty lists were often snatched up.

There really didn't have much money on him, and when he heard Li Changyuan say this, the expression on Wang Peng's face suddenly relaxed a lot.

This is also what Li Changyuan has noticed, about the subtle changes in Wang Peng's expression.

"Daoyou ......"

After drinking for more than half a day, I drank from morning to afternoon, and drank for more than two hours, and some of the guests who came from the first floor to the second floor were already full of food and drink, and they did not leave, looking at this table curiously from their positions, just to see how long and when these two immortals could drink.

It's really two immortals, it's really drinking, it's really just drinking, on the floor under the table, there are more than ten empty wine jars around the wine table, and there are two jars on the table that are drinking.

In fact, Wang Peng was already drunk, but he didn't faint directly.

Li Changyuan wanted to see how much he had to drink now to get himself drunk. Nine out of ten wine jars around this area were drunk by Li Changyuan, but Wang Peng didn't drink much.

"That little brother is really a lot, Xiao Er, I paid for the wine at that table."

A guest at a table in the distance on the second floor summoned Xiao Er and whispered orders to him.

This movement could be heard by Li Changyuan, and he couldn't help but be a little unhappy.

"Little Er!"

Li Changyuan suddenly shouted, Xiao Er went downstairs and didn't take two steps down the steps, so frightened that he immediately turned around and ran up:

"What do you need from the guest officer?"

Li Changyuan pointed his chin to Wang Peng, who was in the opposite position, and said to Xiao Er:

"Help him up and open a room for him to rest."

"Okay, okay."

Wang Peng can really hold on, Li Changyuan can see at a glance that the current Wang Peng is at most no more than the realm cultivation of the Xuan Realm for three weeks, and being able to drink with him for so long can be regarded as suffering him.

Faintly listening to what Wang Peng was talking about, he was helped up by Xiao Er and sent to the guest room on the third floor, Wang Peng waved his hands in the air on the way, and he looked a little funny:

"Uh......mm......"

People have also sent it, and Li Changyuan should deal with the matter of 'righteousness in the rivers and lakes'.

got up and walked forward, took three steps and made two steps to the table of 'distinguished guests' who paid for Li Changyuan's wine. There is only one person at his table, and he doesn't know whose son and brother he looks at, his clothes are gorgeous, with white brocade silk sleeves and satin, and green embroidery adorning the long clothes on his body, fluttering softly and touching the wind.

The appearance of this boy brother is even more like a fairy in a painting, with a white face like jade, willow eyebrows, thin eyes and thin lips, a straight nose bridge outlined by deep eye sockets, a wide forehead and a narrow jaw, and a heroic spirit.

"This young talent, I don't know what to do with my son?"

The other party politely greeted first, and Li Changyuan naturally returned the salute and introduced himself:

"I accompanied my old friend to drink, and Your Excellency paid the wine money without saying a word, saying that you want to collect a few thin noodles, and there will be other attempts?"

That's really polite.

"Hehe, see the smile, it's just that I saw that Brother Tai drank an amazing amount of alcohol, Yan admired it, so I made this move, but because of such a trivial matter, I offended Brother Tai's self-esteem, Yan Mou is here to compensate Brother Tai, please sit down?"

This......

Li Changyuan couldn't tell for a while whether this person was exalting himself or belittling himself, he admired when he said he admired, and what else did he mention that hurt his self-esteem? Li Changyuan is not a person who will hurt his self-esteem because of this little thing, but he just feels that the other party has some ill intentions and comes to test it.

"Good."

And this 'Yan' also noticed some details, just now, Li Changyuan called 'this seat'......

If it is really not a big shelf pretended, this young talent is really a big name in a certain sect?

"In Xia Yan Songyong, he runs a money village in Nankeng City, he is a businessman, and he can be regarded as free."

Rosa:

‘……’

Li Changyuan watched Yan Songyong pour himself tea, and Rosa in the sea reacted a little, Li Changyuan also knew that this person was tired of talking, eighty percent, it was a lie, right?

Rosa:

The words are true, but the main points are not said. ’

Li Changyuan took the initiative to reach out and move the freshly filled teacup, stared at Yan Songyong expressionlessly, and asked:

"And then? What else? ”

Yan Songyong was obviously stunned for a moment, why, this person knows his details?

Seeing that the other party was waiting for him to continue to make an introduction, Yan Songyong adhered to the identity he had just said:

"Hehe, it's just the identity of a businessman, what's the matter."

Rosa: '......'

Li Changyuan drank a cup of tea happily, and wanted to get up:

"Then there's nothing to talk about, I don't like to be with people who don't talk well."

The appearance of getting up to leave made Yan Songyong anxious, and immediately stopped Li Changyuan:

"Eh, before I finished speaking, I said, I said yes."
