Huo Xing'an ran all the way, only feeling bored, that girl not only looked cold-hearted and cold-faced, but also seemed to have a moody temperament. He sighed in his heart: Forget it, I just have a good impression of her for a while, what does her heart have to do with me? I just don't want to provoke her again.

He just shook the reins all the way, and gradually, the feeling of frustration faded a lot.

The person he was going to meet was a friend of Xiao Tianzu, and this person knew the whereabouts of the person he was looking for. Along the way, he constantly reviewed the sword techniques of the Xuanling Sword Technique that Nie Motian had taught him, but no one instructed him. However, the set of boxing techniques of the Qingcheng faction taught by Nie Motian was practiced by him very well, and as long as he was free every day, he would find an open place to practice diligently. He knew that his martial arts were not proficient, and although Master Xiao Tianzu was famous, he was only in the area of Baishan and Heishui, there was a sky outside the sky, and the masters were all over the world, and Jiangnan was the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and he felt at a loss about his future.

In Caizhou, he met a friend of his master, an abbot with the name of Guidu. Under the guidance of Guidu, he understood the tricks of the Xuanling Sword Technique, and practiced more diligently from then on.

It's just that when Guidu learned that Huo Xing'an was looking for the person, he kept shaking his head, and he persuaded Huo Xing'an to give up, but Huo Xing'an was resolute and had already sworn to die, and finally Guidu had to say goodbye to Huo Xing'an and inform the person's whereabouts.

"The streams and mountains are picturesque, the new sunshine, the clouds are melting, the wind is light, the most favorite spring comes to the hundred flowers, the flowers make shadows, and the fine willows shake the green ......"

In the deep valley, someone is singing, and the voice is as clear and soft as a stream. Huo Xing'an happened to pass by the valley, and when he heard this song, it was like smelling the fragrance of flowers, like a drunken spring breeze.

This is the area of Tianmu Mountain, the green peak, the clouds and mist are faint, and the egrets fly over the forest with the tips of the leaves. He traveled for more than a month and visited here, but he didn't expect it to be such a beautiful place.

Huo Xing'an followed the singing, gently walked down the stone cliff and sand slope, and walked to a pool. I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl sitting on the edge of the pool, singing a song and teasing the fish in the water with a slender straw pole. From time to time, she smiled and was very charming.

Huo Xing'an stopped and looked at the girl not far away, the girl was dressed brightly and elegantly, not like the daughter of a peasant family with a jinghai cloth skirt. The girl didn't notice him, she was still singing, and Huo Xing'an just listened, not wanting to disturb her, he felt that this valley and this song didn't seem to be in the mortal world, but in the place of Yuyu Qionglou. He stood like this until the girl's singing stopped, and like ripples in the water, slowly spread away, like clouds in the valley. Huo Xingan couldn't help but sigh softly, although the sigh was very soft, the girl looked up as if she heard it, and saw him. She was a little surprised, a little curious, her lips moved slightly, and she wanted to say something.

Huo Xingan smiled lightly, and just wanted to speak to her, but saw two middle-aged women coming out from behind the cliff behind the girl, they were dressed in simple clothes, but they looked very much like the nearby mountain dwellers. They glanced at Huo Xing'an vigilantly a few times, and then said respectfully to the girl: "Girl, it's time to go back to the village." ”

Huo Xing'an stepped forward and bowed his hand, "Is the Robe Villa nearby?"

The girl's eyes lit up, the two women glanced at each other, and one of the women replied, "The Robe Villa is here, she pointed to the back of the cliff, who are you looking for?"

Huo Xing'an was overjoyed and surprised, secretly exhaled a long breath, and said in his heart, I have finally found it! In an instant, all kinds of tastes came from his heart, he straightened his cheeks and frowned, and then slowly stretched his brows. Seeing Huo Xing'an's uncertain expression, the woman didn't know what he meant, so she only said that he was a little tired when he came from afar, and asked, "May I ask if you want to see our Qin Zhuang master?"

"You ...... You're from Pao Ke Villa?"

The woman nodded. Huo Xingan frowned again. The girl in front of him was still smiling at him, but he didn't seem to have a good impression of her anymore, and he didn't look at her seriously. He looked behind the cliff and said, "I am asking to see the owner of your village!"

The woman made a gesture of please: "Please come with us." ”

With the three of them, Huo Xing'an turned over the cliff, and went up a long stone staircase, and then a gravel path. This village is located in the middle of the mountain, built according to the mountain, with green tiles and white walls, and has a bit of quaint feeling against the backdrop of the beautiful green peaks.

Huo Xing'an followed them to the front of the village without saying a word, imagining all the way the person who was about to appear in front of him, the person whose name he had engraved thousands of times in his mind. He looked at this Zhuangzi coldly, uninterested in the surrounding scenery, and the girl looked back at him several times, only to see his increasingly cold eyes.

Soon after the woman went in to report, a man dressed in black with brocade and a few servants walked out of the village, and a woman in a gorgeous costume followed him, the woman's appearance was somewhat similar to the girl just now, but much older than her.

The man came to Huo Xing'an and arched his hand: "May I ask your honorable guest's surname, what are you doing in this village?"

Huo Xingan didn't return the salute, just looked at the man in front of him. This man has a steady figure, a calm bearing, and a calm gaze, but he is also intimidating, and his kung fu is obviously not weak. Huo Xingan said: "You are the owner of the village, right?"

"Exactly. May I ask what your Excellency is?"

"Are you, black-robed guest?" Huo Xing'an stared at him, as if he would pull out an earth-shattering sword in his eyes at any moment.

The man was obviously a little annoyed by Huo Xing'an's rudeness, but he didn't want to be in shape, so he replied lightly: "That's the family teacher, and he has passed away." ”

"Dead?!" Huo Xingan was taken aback.

The man was finally a little annoyed, if ordinary people were so disrespectful, he would have scolded or taught a lesson, but the origin of this person is unknown, the details are unknown, although he is full of hostility, but maybe it is the old friend of the black-robed guest is unknown. It must be known that people in the rivers and lakes are often informal, and there are even more people who are unusually worldly. The man said with a dark face: "That's right. You're here to pay respects to your master?"

Huo Xing'an sighed in his heart, and said in his heart, it's a pity that you died too early! But even if you die, I will also dig up the grave and dig up the corpse, crush the bones and scatter ashes. He gritted his teeth, and seemed to calm the emotions in his heart, and said softly: "I want to pay homage to the tomb of Mr. Black-robed Ke." ”

The man arched his hand again and said, "Your Excellency is an old friend of the family teacher?"

Huo Xing'an didn't sign up for his surname, but just arched his hand: "I came here to meet Mr. Black-robed Ke for a while, since I didn't have the opportunity to see him before I was alive, I had to pay homage to his grave." ”

Seeing that Huo Xing'an was a little respectful, the man said kindly: "Your Excellency has a good intention, but the family has said before his death, and after his death, he only wishes to return to his homeland and refuse to disturb." Even we can't sacrifice and sweep, so we can only burn incense and worship on the death day. I hope you can understand. Seeing Huo Xing'an's disappointed expression, the man said, "Your Excellency is gracious and warm, and you have come from afar, if you don't dislike the humble village, you can stay for a few days, so as to accommodate the friendship of the landlord." The man said very politely and politely, but Huo Xing said with peace of mind, it seems that this black-robed guest has done a lot of bad things during his lifetime, and he has made too many enemies, so he doesn't dare to let others know where his cemetery is. If you let me go, I won't go. If I don't find the tomb of the black-robed guest, I won't give up. If you let me live, I'll just stay. He thought about it again, maybe the black-robed guest was hiding and lying to outsiders that he was dead.

Thinking of this, Huo Xingan nodded. The woman who had been standing behind the man stepped forward and whispered to the man: "This person has a murderous face, and the person who comes is not good, how can you keep him for a while?"

The man also hesitated, but still arched his hand and asked again: "In Xia Qin Shaopu, dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name?"

Huo Xing'an was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Just call me Xing'an." ”

The man frowned, glanced at the woman, and felt that this person had reported his surname, which was obviously different, but since he had been invited to stay for a few days, it was inconvenient to change his words, so he had to make a gesture of invitation and welcome Huo Xing'an into the village.

Huo Xing'an then stayed in the village, and Qin Shaopu ordered someone to arrange a good room, and also set up a sumptuous banquet. In Qin Shaopu's introduction, Huo Xing'an learned that the black-robed guest had no children before his death, so his disciple and his eldest son-in-law Qin Shaopu took over the position of owner after his death. The black-robed guest has three daughters, the eldest daughter is named Nalan Huan, married to Qin Shaopu, the second daughter married the year before last, and the third daughter is called Nalan Yue, that is, the girl she met in Huo Xing'an on the side of the pond before. During the banquet, Qin Shaopu kept pouring wine for Huo Xingan. The Paoke Villa is located in a secluded place, and the whereabouts of the black-robed guest are uncertain during his lifetime, so few outsiders know about the villa, and even fewer outsiders visit, so Huo Xing'an is treated as a VIP. Huo Xing'an looked at the elegantly furnished hall and the servants and servants who were waiting all over the place, and couldn't help but think of the situation when he was a child, the family was also so rich and noble, but since the death of his father, his mother has become depressed, and the family has become increasingly deserted.

Qin Shaopu said: "This village is located in the mountains, these are some wild vegetables, and I hope that the Xing'an brothers will not dislike it." Qin Shaopu raised his glass in respect. Huo Xingan also raised his glass and saluted. In fact, although there are more small dishes on the table, it is definitely a mountain delicacy, and there is no shortage of animals and birds, Huo Xing'an could not know, he remembered his childhood experience, and he hated everything in front of him. Although he was hungry, he only felt that the food was tasteless, he took the wine poured by Qin Shaopu, and often drank it all, and he was already too strong to drink, and after a few cups, he was drunk on the table.

Qin Shaopu was about to have a drink, and was a little surprised to see Huo Xingan getting drunk so quickly, so he had to order someone to help him to the room. Nalan Huan walked up to Qin Shaopu and said, "This person must have something to hide, you see that he looks preoccupied." ”

Qin Shaopu waved his hand: "I think he is a lover." Master Guidu is Master's best friend, and Master Guidu's friends will never be ordinary people. Maybe this Xing'an brother really came to visit and wanted to learn from the master. ”

"Let's be careful. Nalan Huan said, "Have you forgotten what my father once said? The rivers and lakes are narrow, and sooner or later you will meet the enemy." This man always has hatred on his face, can't you see it?"

"I don't think he's good at laughing or talking. ”

Nalan Huan sat down beside him, also took a small pour, and said lightly: "Be careful, what if you are a scheming person? ”

Qin Shaopu smiled and raised his glass to Nalan Huan: "Madame is right. ”

Huo Xing'an slept until it was dark and the stars were bright, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a full moon rising outside the tassel curtain. He remembered that he was in the Paoke Villa, and he was startled, reached out to touch his waist, and found that the short sword and the belongings were there, but the long sword was not there. He sat up, looked around the room, and was relieved to find the sword hanging diagonally from the bedpost. Outside the window, there is a bright light moving slowly, probably someone from the village passing by with a lantern. He saw a lot of snacks on the table in the room, and thought that the owner of the house had been very considerate. He grabbed his heart and stuffed it into his mouth, and after eating more than ten pieces, he felt full. He pushed open the door and walked out into the courtyard.

He looked at the huge Zhuangzi and thought to himself that the grave of this black-robed guest was buried, should he arrest a Zhuang Ding and force him to ask? Just thinking about it, suddenly two family members walked towards him with lanterns, Huo Xingan straightened up, looked at them with his hands in his hands, and the two family members approached, saluted him, and asked him if he was resting well, Huo Xingan nodded. Watching the family walk away, Huo Xing said with peace of mind, it seems that they are still wary of me. He looked at the dark and quiet courtyard, but his eyes were like fire. He thought, "When I have dug up the grave of the black-robed man, I must set fire to this place!" so that his descendants will not be happy! Hatred made him so vicious at the moment, that he clenched his fists, and his nails seemed to pierce four holes in his palms.

He returned to the room, sat silently at the table, and after a while, he saw the sword hanging, so he took the sword, went outside the house, and practiced the Xuanling sword technique in the moonlight.

He imagined that the enemy was fighting with him, he walked with his sword and walked in a meteoric position, stepped into a strange position, blitzed, slashed sideways, and killed with his sword...... The shadows of the branches everywhere seemed to be the moonlight that had been chopped by him, and finally pierced through the heart fiercely, and the roosting crows in the treetops were also startled. He maintained the last stabbing posture, as if he was going to wait for the enemy's blood to dry up.

"Good!" came a shout of praise.

I saw Qin Shaopu standing by a pillar, smiling. He walked over, Huo Xingan seemed to wake up from a frightening battle, and lowered the sword in his hand.

"This set of swordsmanship of the Xing'an brothers is extremely exquisite, with the momentum of piercing the sky and cracking stones, and the strange plan of arranging troops, which seems to be like the Xuanling swordsmanship of Hongdaomen. "Qin Shaopu followed the black-robed guest to walk the rivers and lakes and had extensive experience, and the black-robed guest and Hong Daomen also had occasional tricks, so he also had an impression of the Xuanling swordsmanship.

"Exactly. Huo Xingan said, "I haven't been used to it for a long time, and I'm still relatively unfamiliar." ”

"It's already good. Could it be that the Hung Yen brothers are from the Hongdao Gate?"

"No, it was taught to me by a friend who met on the road. ”

"Oh, that's a miracle. This friend should be the successor of Hongdaomen. Qin Shaopu said. He took a step forward, looked at the sword in Huo Xing'an's hand and said, "Brother Xing'an, can you let me take a closer look at this sword?"

Huo Xingan hesitated for a moment and raised his sword, not knowing what Qin Shaopu meant. After hesitating, Qin Shaopu took the sword with a smile, and when it touched his hand, Huo Xingan's hand shook and he almost swung the blade of the sword out. Seeing the nervous look on Huo Xing'an's face, Qin Shaopu didn't mind, he checked the sword body, flicked the blade again, and said: "I see that the Xing'an brothers are full of martial arts, and there is a great ambition between the eyebrows, which can be described as a young hero, but this sword is too mediocre and not worthy of the Xing'an brothers." ”

Huo Xing'an didn't make a sound, Qin Shaopu said with a smile: "When the family teacher was alive, he traveled all over the world and collected famous weapons, but there were many good swords hidden at home, many of which were famous and shocked the world. ”

Huo Xingan looked at Qin Shaopu's sincere gaze, as if his heart warmed, but he politely refused: "Thank you, it's just that this sword is used to ......."

Qin Shaopu returned the sword to him. "Brother Xing'an don't have to be polite, I hit it off with you at first sight, the so-called sword gift to the hero, I hope don't shirk it. This saddle horse is tired, you still need to rest tonight, and you and I will talk about it tomorrow. Huo Xingan wanted to thank him again, but Qin Shaopu had already nodded goodbye.

After Qin Shaopu left, Huo Xingan couldn't calm down for a long time. In his heart, the black-robed guest can be described as a heinous person, but the black-robed guest's apprentice seems to be a hospitable person, kind-hearted, and very enthusiastic about himself, and he doesn't seem to be the kind of ruthless charlatan. At this time, the hatred in his heart had subsided a lot. He also wondered how easily he was moved. But when he lay down in his room, covered with a soft and fragrant quilt, he reminded himself not to forget the vow he had made at the beginning, and not to be deceived and swayed.

Qin Shaopu returned to his room, and Lan Huan asked him, "Have you tried his kung fu?

Qin Shaopu said: "Although the master has repeatedly set off storms and waves in his life, he has acted above board, and he has never seen anyone with a deep hatred, except for seriously injuring a few masters at the Wushan Conference that year, that is also a word first. He grabbed Nalan Huan's shoulder and said, "It's my Huan'er who has caused a lot of trouble for Master." ”

Nalan Huanjiao snorted and stroked his chest: "Even if my father doesn't have a grudge against anyone, then maybe someone is plotting against us and wants to do something for us?"

Qin Shaopu rubbed her sideburns and smiled: "Master didn't bury the treasure here, who would come to attack our idea?"

"But I always felt that the man had bad intentions, and I always felt that something was going to happen. As soon as I saw him, I had a feeling of unease. In the past, when my father fought with Tan Weng, I didn't feel this way. ”

Qin Shaopu hugged her and comforted: "Don't think about it, although Xing'an and I haven't had a deep talk, I feel that he is still a decent person." The set of Xuanling swordsmanship he practiced should have been light and weird, but he danced with the momentum of a golden iron horse. Qin Shaopu said, "Maybe he didn't practice under the Hongdao Gate, but became a monk of his own." Or, the person who taught him the sword technique did not teach him every move at all, and he had never seen the real Xuanling sword technique at all. ”

"You mean to say that he only knows the sword technique, but not the body technique?"

Qin Shaopu nodded: "Very likely." ”

"And what do you think of his kung fu?"

"He seems to lack internal strength, and for the time being, he is not a threat. ”

Nalan Huan leaned on Qin Shaopu's chest and said, "Just don't be treacherous." She looked up at Qin Shaopu, "I have ordered people to inspect Zhuangzi every two hours. ”

"I think Madame is overly concerned. Qin Shaopu smiled.

Nalan Huan suddenly thought of something again: "By the way, I think of someone." ”

"Who?"

"The guy who comes to bother every year, let's count that this is the time. ”

Qin Shaopu also suddenly remembered: "Yes, at this time of year, she will come to make trouble unreasonably." ”

"The reason why my father doesn't want outsiders to know where his bones are buried is probably that she is hiding. Could this one named Xing'an be sent by her?"

Qin Shaopu groaned: "She has always been alone all these years, and I haven't seen her take apprentices by her side. ”

Nalan Huan sighed: "If that demon woman also comes, it will be even more troublesome." ”

Huo Xingan almost sleepless all night, with a lot of things in his mind. Before you know it, the sky is already bright.

He simply got up and paced out into the courtyard. He walked around the yard leisurely, only to see the warbler and willow velvet, the flowers and branches stacked, the Zhuang servant was sweeping the courtyard, and Zhuang Yong was practicing boxing. A family member came to greet him and wanted to serve him early, but he waved his hand and refused.

He turned around a rockery and saw a little girl squatting on the ground, concentrating on poking a soil hole with a branch, and a girl standing next to him was looking curiously, it was Nalan Yue that Huo Xing'an had met by the pool. "Quick, poke. Nalan Yue said to the little girl, suddenly saw Huo Xing'an, and was immediately ashamed, smiled lightly, lowered her eyebrows, and gently turned her face. Huo Xingan wanted to leave without disturbing, but when he saw Nalan Yue, his heart moved. He thought, I might as well test her and see if I can find out where the black-robed guest's grave is. I thought again, this Lan Yue is the daughter of a black-robed guest, and her kung fu must not be weak, when I was in Bianjing, I couldn't even beat that cold-faced girl, how could I be sure that I could defeat her? But looking at Nalan Yue's delicate appearance like a weak willow and a wind, she doesn't look like a person with martial arts.

"Girl, I'm glad I met. He frowned.

Nalan Yue raised his eyes and looked at him, Huo Xing'an only felt that his eyes were like water, and he was swaying. "Childe is good. Nalan Yue's voice was soft and soft. When Huo Xing'an heard her words, he felt a little happier, but when he thought that she was the daughter of a black-robed guest, he couldn't help but feel disgusted. He raised his eyebrows, and when he was about to say goodbye, there was a sound of footsteps next to him. I saw Nalan coming over in a hurry, smiled at Huo Xing'an, and said, "Is the son of Xing'an resting well?"

Huo Xing'an nodded.

Nalan Huan said: "If the prince of Xing'an is interested, he can walk around at will, but Zhuangzi is too small, and the scenery here is good." I can have someone act as a guide and show you around. She walked over to Nalan Yue's side.

Huo Xingan didn't have the intention of playing the scenery, he shook his head: "Thank you, I don't have any fun." He glanced at Nalan Yue.

Nalan Huan seemed to be very alert, she also glanced at Nalan Yue, and said to the little girl: "Yan Qiao, you accompany the girl to play elsewhere, don't hinder the interest of the guests." ”

The little girl answered and stood up. Nalan Huan said to Nalan Yue again: "Yue'er, wait a while, you come to my room, and you can help me embroider a few stitches of the songbird picture I embroidered." ”

"I'm not as good at embroidering as you. Nalan Yue said.

Na Lan Huan took her arm and said, "How can you embroider better than me if you don't practice diligently?" she smiled and nudged Na Lan Yue.

Nalan Yue glanced at Huo Xing'an, and left with a smile and shame.

Nalan Huan said to Huo Xing'an: "Shaopu still wants to have a few more drinks with you, if there is no fun, you can take advantage of the wine." ”

Huo Xingan nodded this time: "It's just that I drink a lot of alcohol and can't enjoy it." ”

"Shao Pu likes to meet friends over wine. Once you are drunk, you can have fun. Nalan Huan said warmly, "Prince Xing'an can wander around at will, and I will call someone to invite you before noon." ”

"You're welcome. Huo Xing'an said.

Watching Nalan Huan leave with a lotus skirt, Huo Xingan remembered Nalan Yue, who was smiling beautifully just now. He shook his head, trying to blur Nalan Yue's smile as he realized that a magical barrier was filling like a morning mist. He clenched his fists and made up his mind.

When he paced to the village gate, Qin Shaopu greeted him. "Brother Xing'an, did you sleep well? I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't have a few drinks with you, but this morning I sent someone to the mountains to hunt some game, just to drink!"

Huo Xing'an saw several villagers carrying baskets of prey returning to the village from outside. "Master Qin Zhuang doesn't have to be polite. ”

Qin Shaopu smiled and said, "You are a distinguished guest, as it should be." Come, Brother Xing'an, let's go to the room and talk. He made a gesture of please.

Qin Shaopu took Huo Xing'an to a locked hall and asked the housekeeper to come and open the lock. Huo Xingan walked into the hall with Qin Shaopu and saw that the room was full of all kinds of weapons. On the front wall hung or stood a dozen swords, some sheathed and some unsheathed. The sheath with the sheath is inlaid with beads and inlaid with jade, which is luxurious and abnormal, and the cold light is hidden without the sheath, and the cone stands on the wooden sleeper, which looks like an extraordinary instrument. Qin Shaopu saw Huo Xing'an's gaze fall on the sword, so he introduced: "The swords here all have a lot of origins. He pointed to the one on the far right and said: "This is the young dragon used by the eagle in the clouds of the head of the Kunlun faction, the world-famous strange sword, it is said that it is made of volcanic things, piercing armor and penetrating the armor, the family teacher and the eagle in the clouds about Dunhuang, a fierce battle for one night, the eagle in the clouds was defeated, and the family teacher returned with this sword, shaking the rivers and lakes." Qin Shaopu pointed to the two staggered swords and said, "These two swords are the Shentu Sword and the Yulei Sword used by the Dongting Shuangsha, and after the family master defeated the Shuangsha, he took their swords. Seeing Huo Xing'an's doubts, Qin Shaopu said: "The family teacher didn't mean to insult each other and win people's love, I think the family teacher has a habit of collecting swords." ”

Huo Xing said with peace of mind, the black-robed guest was obviously a robber! He suddenly remembered something, so he said to Qin Shaopu: "These swords, can the owner of Qin Zhuang introduce them one by one." ”

Qin Shaopu smiled and said, "It seems that the Xing'an brothers are also swords-loving people. Then I'll introduce them one by one and see which sword will fall on your eyebrows. ”

So Qin Shaopu introduced the swords on the wall to Huo Xing'an one by one, and explained the ins and outs of the swords in detail. When the Kui Dou Sword was introduced, Huo Xing was shocked and felt that the blood all over his body was almost gushing out.

Qin Shaopu pointed to an unsheathed sword standing upright and said, "This is what the family master won from Huo Lun, the head banner warrior, when he fought with the four great warriors of the Jin Kingdom in Lin'an. Although this sword is not a peerless weapon, it is also a good sword, and Huo Lun's name is very loud, and they were very domineering and majestic in Lin'an at that time, which frustrated their sharpness......"

Huo Xingan could barely suppress the pain that hit him like a tsunami in his heart, he gritted his teeth and turned his face to glare at Qin Shaopu angrily. And Qin Shaopu didn't feel it, he just smiled and continued: "The family teacher originally wanted to teach the other party a good lesson, but he didn't see that the other party was not arrogant, so he still focused on learning......

At this time, Huo Xing'an's face was already scorched, he endured his sadness and lowered his gaze. His shoulders shook slightly, and his whole body felt like it was shaking.

"This sword ......," Qin Shaopu was about to continue.

"I'd like to see it. Huo Xingan said suddenly.

Qin Shaopu nodded: "It seems that the Xing'an brothers finally have a handful of eyes." He took off his sword and presented it to Huo Xing'an.

Huo Xingan took the sword and stroked the sword body carefully and repeatedly. The body of the sword is engraved with golden inscriptions, the hilt is heavy and thick, and the gauntlet of the sword is an eagle with iron wings soaring in the wind. This evoked a vague memory in the depths of his mind, the sound of the sword wind practicing in the Wutong Courtyard, and the laughter frolicking under the swing frame...... He almost burst into tears.

"Brother Xing'an likes this sword, then this sword will be given to Brother Xing'an. ”

Huo Xing'an held the hilt of the sword, as if he felt the prestige of listening to the holy order in front of thousands of troops, this is a sword with the glory of the ancestors, and outsiders can't understand it. The sword was supposed to be on the waist of the samurai, but now it was in the humble chamber of the grassy mountain dwelling. His eyes were wet and his fingertips trembled slightly. He said to himself, I will plunge this sword into the body of the black-robed man, whether he has rotted to bones or not.

"This sword has no sheath, so I'll choose a good one for you. Qin Shaopu smiled.

Huo Xing'an said angrily in his heart: The scabbard of this sword is already in the coffin, and no matter how gorgeous the scabbard is, it is not worthy of it.

He shook his head.

Seeing that Huo Xing'an accepted the sword, Qin Shaopu was very happy. "The swordsmanship of the Xing'an brothers is a match for this sword. ”

"Thank you. Huo Xing'an's eyes were still gloomy and lowered.

Qin Shaopu saw that Huo Xingan was not happy, he only said that he had seen the world and was not moved by precious things, and his heart felt a little respectful. Qin Shaopu then introduced other objects to Huo Xing'an, but Huo Xing'an was no longer interested. Qin Shaopu gave up, he didn't know Huo Xingan's thoughts.

At the luncheon, Qin Shaopu was still hospitable, Huo Xingan didn't say much to him, he was still drunk, and after a while, he was drunk again. Qin Shaopu and Nalan Huan looked at each other. Nalan Huan was even more suspicious, but Qin Shaopu was unimpressed.

Huo Xingan was drunk and slept for a long time.

For the next few days, he woke up and drunk, drunk and woke up. He inserted the Kui fighting sword into the scabbard of the previous saber and placed it next to the pillow, which was quite a pillow. During the day, he rarely went out of the village, and rarely talked to the people in the village, but Qin Shaopu often came to greet him. Since I greeted Nalan Yue that day, I have hardly seen her appear in the past few days, as if she was hiding. He figured out where her room was, but he hadn't decided whether to attack her, first, he didn't know her details, second, Qin Shaopu and his wife always looked inconspicuous, and Lan Huan had always been wary of him, although he ordered his subordinates to take care of him very well during the day, Huo Xingan still felt that he was being noticed and guarded by Zhuang Ding everywhere. The bitterness in his heart deepened day by day, and he looked at the lush mountain peaks and pale sky around him with a sad brow, as if an earth-shattering killing move that could not be used by an opponent in the clouds and fog. The more Qin Shaopu treated him, the more hesitant he became.

A few days later, in the morning, when Qin Shaopu and his wife got up, the housekeeper came to tell them that the guest had left without saying goodbye, the door was open, there was no one in the house, and he could not be found in the village.

Nalan Huan said to Qin Shaopu: "This person is already unknown and sneaky, we treat him well, but we don't even say hello when we leave." ”

Qin Shaopu waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Maybe it's undecided that he will go out to play." Some people in the martial arts have always done their own thing, but they don't care about what etiquette and the like. ”

"I think he has ulterior motives. ”

Qin Shaopu smiled and said, "You've been worried about it these days, now that he's gone, you can feel at ease, right?"

"Why am I a little more upset?"

Qin Shaopu laughed and grabbed her shoulder: "Madame, I've been thinking hard these days, now it's okay, I want to take you and Yue'er out for a walk, relax, and save you from embroidering in the room with Yue'er every day." ”

Nalan Huan said, "Aren't you afraid that he will do anything wrong to Yue'er?" besides," she looked out the window, "Yue'er seems to have a good impression of him." ”

"The Xing'an brothers are a talent......"

Nalan Huan interrupted him and said, "If your name is not right, your words are not smooth, this person, but you just say good things about him." ”

"Well, Madame doesn't like him, just don't mention him. Qin Shaopu said with a smile.

In fact, Huo Xingan didn't go far, he was really bored and annoyed in the village, so he simply went over the wall. He ran in stride, he ran like a vent, he rushed to the top of the mountain, and then rushed down the hillside, he threw himself into the stream, and the cold water calmed him down, and he looked up from the water, and he didn't know whether it was tears or streams, and his face was full of pain and sorrow. He drew his sword and roared and slashed out a circle, and several small trees next to him broke their necks in unison. He stared at his own reflection in the water, and he hated his indecision and weakness.

My mother's words on the sickbed still echo in my ears: Xing'an, my poor son, you must take revenge in the future......

Huo Xingan raised his face and looked at the floating clouds sweeping in the sky, and he decided to be ruthless. He turned his head sharply, his gaze sharp as if he wanted to hunt down a slaughtering beast.

After a few days, Huo Xing'an was almost forgotten by the people of Paoke Villa, and was only regarded as a stranger, and only Qin Shaopu occasionally remembered it.

One day, the weather was clear, the valley was breezy and the mountain flowers were scorching. The women went to the pool at the bottom of the valley to draw water, and Lan Yue also went to the pool to play accompanied by the maid. From time to time, birds and finches flew close to the water, and small beasts flew between the trees.

Nalan Yue teased a turtle that was slowly diving into the water, suddenly, a clever white rabbit jumped out of the grass next to her, Na Lan Yue saw the little rabbit, very liked, when she went up to touch it, the little rabbit jumped away, but as if waiting for it to catch it stopped, Na Lan Yue felt interesting, and went to touch it, the little rabbit jumped away again, just jumped and stopped, and actually led Na Lan Yue all the way to the woods on the shore.

Nalan Yue panted and chased into the woods and said, "You naughty one, let me touch it." ”

Suddenly, he saw a melancholy face appear in front of him. Huo Xingan was standing among the branches and leaves, watching her. Nalan Yue looked at him in surprise, and then showed a shallow smile: "You ......"

Huo Xingan drew his sword and pointed at her: "Don't make a sound! ”

Nalan Yue had never seen such a threat, and she was suddenly trembling with fright, she looked at Huo Xing'an in horror, and she didn't dare to move.

Huo Xingan was ready to strike first, thinking that she would fight back, but seeing her helpless and weak appearance, she obviously didn't know how to do kung fu, looking at her innocent and flawless face, it made people feel a little pity.

He moved the tip of his sword closer to her neck and said, "You must know where your father is buried, right?"

Seeing that Nalan Yue didn't speak, he said in a deep voice: "Speak!"

Nalan Yue looked at her, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

Huo Xing'an's heart softened, and the tip of the sword drooped slightly. At this time, I heard a lot of footsteps, coming along the shore, and someone shouted Nalan Yue's name. Huo Xing'an didn't stop doing anything, he grabbed Nalan Yue's arm and dragged her to the woods. Nalan Yue walked slowly, stumbling, Huo Xingan was in a hurry, and she almost fell down several times.

He pulled Nalan Yue up a small slope, and saw many people coming here by the pond at the bottom of the slope, and some people saw him and pointed at him and shouted. He simply hugged Nalan Yue, and Nalan Yue exclaimed. He carried her and ran up the mountain, walking over the mountains was what he was best at, and after a while the sound of chasing people disappeared behind his ears.

He climbed over a few hillsides, jumped over a steep cliff, found a piece of flat land, and gently put down Nalan Yue, who was already full of crimson and extremely shy. She rubbed her arm, Huo Xingxin was in a hurry just now, and it obviously hurt her.

After being silent for a while, Huo Xingan looked at her arm and said, "Girl, you just need to take me to your father's grave, and I will let you go." ”

"You...... What the hell are you going to do?" Lan Yue asked in a low voice.

"You just do it. I promise not to hurt you. ”

Nalan Yue nodded, then shook her head again.

"Then I can only ......" he paused before he could finish his sentence, and he seemed to hear a voice passing by, not like the wind. He looked around, only the grass was shaking, and the cliffs were beside him. He thought he had heard it wrong, and then turned to look at Na Lan Yue and said, "Then I can only ......"

"I can only be married to you...... Hee-hee. A woman's voice picked up his words. Huo Xing'an was shocked, he held his sword and looked around, but there was no figure. The voice seemed to come from the sky.

"Who!" he exclaimed.

"I!" the woman replied, as if jokingly.

Huo Xing'an was taken aback, and he was very suspicious in his heart, this place is not a barren mountain and a bald mountain, where is the lonely soul and wild ghost? Nalan Yue also crossed his arms in horror.

"Who!" Huo Xing'an yelled this time. The sound echoed in the mountains. But he forgot that he was hiding here with the daughter of the robe.

"Hee-hee, a pair of wonderful people are a good match...... the voice is from far and near.

Huo Xingan grabbed Nalan Yue: "Let's get out of here!"

Nalan Yue thought that Huo Xing'an was going to pick her up again, she was ashamed and panicked, and lowered her brows. But Huo Xingan didn't hug her, he grabbed her arm and walked in the direction of the slope down the mountain. There were a lot of miscellaneous trees, and Na Lan Yue's skirt was sometimes hooked by branches, so Huo Xingan had to clear a way with a sword in front.

After walking for a while, the woman's voice sounded again: "Hey, follow the lover to elope......"

Nalan Yue's face was even redder, he was dragged by Huo Xing'an, ashamed, flustered and scared, and never dared to raise his head.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded, and the woman's voice stopped. Huo Xing'an looked back and saw a few Zhuang Ding's figures faintly flashing on the cliff, bending their bows and arrows at him.
