Xing Yi went to Ming Qitian's side, Pei Ye turned his head and looked at the old man lying stiffly on the bed.

This is one of the best houses in the county office, built in the corner, and although you can still hear the noise outside the doors and windows, it is the quietest place.

"How are you feeling?" Pei Ye twisted his eyebrows and said in a low voice.

"It's much more comfortable." Yue Muzhou smiled, "What about the wheelchair, push it up and get out to get some air." ”

“…… You'd better rest, they'll let you hold on for two hours. Pei Li didn't move.

"Hurry." The old man nudged him gently.

Pei Ye looked at him silently for a while, although he had just shown his might and showed his superior demeanor, his face was still so hideous and ugly.

He had long lost the ability to make expressions, but at this time, with the blessing of true qi, his facial muscles had some room to move. The muscles of the withered cheeks tugged upward, as if to make a gentle smile.

If the description in "Heroic Bones" is true, then this laugh must have been very charming eighteen years ago, and there must not be many people who can get his smile.

But now, if you don't look closely at the direction of the muscles, you can't even guess what kind of expression he is doing, and the scar wrinkles and squeezes through the two huge black holes under his forehead, which looks terrifying and funny.

Pei Ye stood up without saying a word, walked out and pushed the already somewhat decayed and creaking wheelchair in, and picked up the old man.

Yue Muzhou slowly leaned in this familiar space, sighed as if he was comfortable, the room was very quiet, for a long time, he smiled: "It's still used to staying like this." ”

Pei Li said: "Where do you want to go?" ”

"Wangxi Slope." The old man said.

"It's a long way off." Pei Ye muttered.

Pushing the old man all the way through the yamen, when he passed the door, he met Chang Zhiyuan coming in, this county magistrate who was always meticulous in the past is now almost unkempt in his busyness, he held a pile of words in his hand, and looked at the two of them stunned for a moment.

Yue Muzhou slowly raised his hand and waved at him.

Out of the county office, along the street, Wangxipo is on the other side of the city—the part that has not been affected by the immortal monarch. From the top of this slope, you can see the stream flowing down from the mountain, hence the name.

Going uphill out of the city, the slope was neither high nor steep, Pei Ye carried the old man to the top.

At this time, the sunlight tended to be soft and warm, and the dusk had just risen, and the two came to a big willow tree, Pei Ye pushed the old man forward, allowing him to have a wider field of vision, and he stood behind a wheelchair.

Yue Muzhou felt the sunset and the high wind, and suddenly said hoarsely: "Xiaoye, have you thought about how you will die?" ”

"Nope."

"You might as well think about it, the picture that appears in your mind may indicate the direction of your future life."

Pei Ye looked up and thought about it, and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"When I was your age, I already knew that I was going to be killed." Yue Muzhou said, "Because then I understood that it was impossible for me to leave the sound of swords colliding in my life." ”

"But unexpectedly, in the last eighteen years, a period of leisure has passed." He laughed hoarsely, "What about you?" Xiaoye, have you ever thought about the palace business in your life? ”

"I ...... I don't know, I want to practice martial arts, and then ......" Pei Ye frowned slightly and looked at the sky, "Maybe, I will spend a lot of time learning swords." ”

"Yes, you love swords, since you were a child." The old man said gently, "I saw that Ming Qitian sword again last night, you must really want that kind of sword to be swung out of your hand, don't you?" ”

Pei Ye nodded.

"You do have that talent." The old man sighed lightly, and then changed his words, "But this will not be your real pursuit in life. ”

Pei Ye looked at the old man's side face in a daze.

"Because you are a real and vivid person, your seventeen years of life have shaped you. You and I, and Ming Qitian's experiences are completely different. Yue Muzhou said, "You like to compete with people in the ring, and you like to challenge difficult things - since you were a child, people say that there is a big catfish, and you have to boast about catching it." ”

Pei Ye couldn't help but grinning the corners of his mouth.

"You like people cheering you on, you hate people pressing on your head." Yue Muzhou said, "You are longing for the Crane Book, but you are actually longing for the fame and fortune you have won in a dignified manner." ”

Pei Ye looked at the empty space and listened to the old man's words straight into his heart.

"You have a strong sense of competitiveness, vanity, justice, gain and loss...... You are a passionate person. You love the sword, only one part of it is for itself, and the other nine points for it in your hands - you can't be an ascetic of the sword. ”

"You can't be extremely passionate about swords, so Yunlang Mountain is not your place to go." Yue Muzhou finally said slowly.

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the old man was thinking about the future for him.

"Longjun Dongting can ...... Are you willing to worship such a holy place of martial arts, starting from scratch, and learning their martial arts from shallow to deep? Yue Muzhou asked.

Pei Ye raised his head and imagined that kind of life, and it was difficult to choose for a while.

But the old man had already searched his heart more quickly: "No, you don't want to. This kind of pure martial arts training time is very beautiful for you, making friends, studying martial arts, and improving day by day...... But you can't enjoy such a day now, because you have a fire in your heart. ”

The old man reached out and patted his abdomen slowly: "Do you want to ...... Avenge me, don't you? ”

Pei Ye was silent, and then nodded: "I will go again when I have enough strength." ”

The old man laughed: "Do you think I am going to dissuade you? No. When I was your age, I was much more ignorant than you were to live or die. ”

The old man raised his face and said slowly: "Of course I want you to avenge me, I entrust this hatred to you, can you wash it away for me?" ”

Pei Ye nodded solemnly.

The old man smiled: "I know, of course you can, who else has this qualification except you?" ”

Pei Li said: "You still think I'm weak in the morning, and you say that you don't know how long it will take to rely on me." ”

Yue Muzhou haha: "This time and that time." ”

"But, believe it or not, I don't really care too much about it." The old man leaned back in his chair and looked at the sunset, and said with a "smile", "Then I know where you want to go - Shenjing." ”

Pei Li's heart was shocked.

Yes, Shinkyo.

Before the exit of this place name, he did not think about it in his heart, but when it was exported, it seemed to have been haunted in his heart thousands of times.

It is not only a city in the world, these two words actually represent a temperament and a direction, which coincides with the vague tendency in Pei Li's heart.

He didn't want to worship under a certain mountain gate again, and practiced, competed, and became a teacher in it step by step, and from then on he was branded by this sect for the rest of his life.

He's going to a place like Shenjing.

It is the meeting place of the whole world, where countless streams of water intertwine and collide, turtles, snakes, fish, turtles, dragons...... Everyone wants to make waves at the brightest spots.

He's going to go there, and he's going to fight his way freely.

Because now, too, he has something that he is determined to kill.
