Chapter 3: The Broken Sword

The white-haired old man opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Jingrui.

Xiao Jingrui felt a strange gaze looking at him, and turned his head to look at the white-haired old man.

The white-haired old man did not withdraw his gaze, still glancing at Xiao Jingrui.

However, Xiao Jingrui was a little uncomfortable when he was looked at by the white-haired old man, and asked.

"Sir, why do you look at me so much?"

Ke Wenqian withdrew his gaze, did not answer his question, closed his eyes again, closed his eyes and rested.

Xiao Jingrui didn't get angry when he saw him like this, but turned around and continued walking.

Ke Wenqian seemed to be a little interested in his origin, and asked, "I don't know...... Fellow Daoists, where did it come from! ”

When Xiao Jingrui saw him asking, he also stopped, lowered his voice, and spoke in a very respectful tone, and he didn't hide anything, and told him truthfully.

"Below, from Muyang City, I don't know...... What's the matter, sir! ”

Ke Wenqian nodded, his thoughts were running quickly, as if he had thought of something, he shook his head, sighed, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, a few years ago, Muyang City was attacked, and no one supported it, resulting in a fourteen realm overhaul, that is, the city lord of Muyang City, dying on the battlefield. ”

After that, Ke Wenqian touched his cheeks, as if he was thinking about something, in previous years, he couldn't figure out why no one avenged him when a fourteen realm major repair died at the hands of the empire, and even the news of his fall was instantly blocked.

Ke Wenqian moved his gaze to Xiao Jingrui, wanted to be sure of one thing, and asked again. "Is this a conspiracy, or is it misfortune, do you know?"

When Xiao Jingrui heard these words, his eyes became cold and sharp, as if Ke Wenqian in front of him was the enemy who killed his father, his hands were clenched into fists, and the hands in his fists kept trembling, and even his body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and his eyes were red.

Ke Wenqian looked at his sharp eyes, but he didn't care, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had determined something.

"Daoyou, you don't have to look at me like this, I'm not your father-killing enemy."

Xiao Jingrui tried his best to suppress his emotions, not letting his emotions control him, and after a while, his emotions were slowly suppressed, and after he came to his senses, he also felt that he had lost his temper, retracted his sharp gaze, and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look at you that way!"

"No problem!" After Ke Wenqian had already determined that he was the son of the city lord of Muyang City, he didn't ask too much, looking at his current situation, he also knew that after his father's fall, he was not doing well.

Ke Wenqian had some friendship with his father, and seeing that his son was not doing well, he also wanted to help, so he asked.

"It's getting late, I don't know, where is Brother Dao going!"

Xiao Jingrui looked at the endless road in the distance, a little confused.

"Where I can stay, I will go!"

Ke Wenqian pointed into the distance.

"Ahead, there's a town called Bluestone, where you can stay for the time being."

Xiao Jingrui looked in the direction of his hand and asked.

"Sir, when will you arrive at the bluestone town you are talking about?"

Ke Wenqian touched his cheeks and calculated the time required for the journey.

"Hmm~~"

"At your current speed, you'll probably be there tomorrow."

"Thank you!" Xiao Jingrui had some doubts in his heart, and felt that it was really uncomfortable to hold it in his heart, so he simply asked.

"Old gentleman, did you already see my identity from the beginning, but I don't know how the old gentleman saw my identity."

Ke Wenqian smiled and explained: "I have met your father a few times, and I have some friendship, you look very similar to him, plus you carry the sword he carries with you behind you, I am sure that you are his dog." ”

Xiao Jingrui smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect the old gentleman to meet my father a few times, but I didn't know!" ”

Ke Wenqian smiled and said, "You were still young at the time, you may have seen me, but you don't remember." ”

Xiao Jingrui does not remember a lot of memories when he was young, not to mention that he doesn't remember the memories of his youth, the memories of recent years have begun to blur, even the appearance of his father and mother is slowly fading, I don't know how long the appearance of his parents will disappear in Xiao Jingrui's mind, Xiao Jingrui is a little distressed, but helpless.

"It's okay if I don't remember, the bad memories will dissipate, and I will be happier in the future." Xiao Jingrui smiled bitterly, "As for hatred, hehe, how can I fight with a country alone." ”

It's not that Xiao Jingrui doesn't want to take revenge, but he can't take revenge at all, a person can't fight against a country at all, even if he keeps trying to practice swordsmanship every day, it is useless.

Xiao Jingrui didn't want to stay here for a long time, after all, he hadn't found a place to rest, so he had to clench his fists and say goodbye: "Old man, I shouldn't stay for a long time, so I will leave, and I will see you again." ”

After that, without waiting for Ke Wenqian to reply, he turned around and left.

Ke Wenqian's gaze moved to the body of the sword wrapped in cloth behind him, as if he had found something unusual, his eyes narrowed slightly, a little incredulous, and asked.

"The sword is broken, why don't you give it up?"

Xiao Jingrui stopped his steps, and was not surprised why he knew that the sword behind him was a broken sword, and said with a wry smile: "Although the sword is broken, it can still cut the whole world, and it is the only relic left to me by my father, how can I abandon it." ”

After speaking, he walked away, no matter what Ke Wenqian was asking, Xiao Jingrui didn't stay any longer, even if it was rude, but he couldn't delay time.

Seeing this, Ke Wenqian didn't ask too much and closed his eyes.

……

"Finally finished plowing." Ming Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, looked at the sky, and muttered to himself, "It's so late before I know it, I don't know if Mingya will worry about me." ”

Ming Xuan took off the farm tools from the ox, put them in their original position, and walked towards the town with the ox, and after walking for a long time, he came to the outside of the town, pulling the cattle through the crowd, after all, the flow of people was surging, and it was a little difficult to walk.

The scalper was angry, and he roared angrily, and the people around him were startled by the sudden roar, some accused and abused, and some people were already rolling up their sleeves, ready to teach the scalper a lesson, but fortunately, Mingxuan apologized.

For the sake of Ming Xuan's sincere apology, everyone didn't care about it anymore.

Walking and walking, suddenly there were cheers in the distance, Ming Xuan fixed his eyes, that place was full of people again, some people clapped their hands and applauded, some people couldn't bear to look straight away, from time to time they walked on stage to compete, and came to the martial arts sales field, every time they had to pass here, Ming Xuan was a little irritable, but helpless, after all, there was only this way to go to Xu Zherui's house, unless he gave up making money, he didn't have to pass through here every day.

Ming Xuan glanced at it, then quickened his pace, and one person and one cow successfully passed through the crowd to the mouth of the alley.
