Looking at Tan Zhenzhi, He Chongyun didn't seem to know this senior brother anymore, and he didn't respond for a long time.

I only heard Tan Zhenzhi say coldly: "Good and evil are not separated, is there a dilemma in the head?" The implication is that if He Chongyun still thinks of the old relationship, there is no distinction between good and evil, and this position of head is not deserved.

When he was a teenager, He Chongyun knew that Tan Zhenzhi wanted to inherit the position of the head of the family, but in terms of talent and temperament, the master was more interested in Gongyehe.

He Chongyun thought in his heart, although the master did not know who could inherit the position of head at that time, but the senior brother regarded Gongye He as an opponent early on, and compared them everywhere, but Gongye's junior brother had a pure heart, and his martial arts became more and more sophisticated, and he was more liked by the master.

It wasn't until seventeen years ago that the senior brother found out that the junior brother of Gongye peeked at the secret book of the evil sect martial arts and reported it to the master, which can be described as a rise and a fall, when everyone thought that the position of the head of the family would inevitably be passed on to the junior brother, the master was furious and expelled him from the master, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Thinking of this, He Chongyun was shocked, some truths seemed to be faintly surfacing on the surface, but he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He is not greedy for the position of the head of the house, but if Tan Zhenzhi is asked to preside over the overall situation at this moment, I am afraid that it will lead to a bloody storm in the martial arts. Seeing his aggressive posture, He Chongyun said in his heart: "It's better to rely on him first, at least the situation won't reach the point of being out of control?"

"Senior Brother!" Tan Zhenzhi urged again.

He Chongyun said: "It's up to Senior Brother." ”

Seeing off Tan Zhenzhi and the disciples of Zhenyue Palace, Xun Boji shook his head and sighed again and again, and couldn't help but say to himself: "How did something that was obviously trivial develop to such a point?"

Looking at Zhang Shouyang who was cramped and restless on the side, Xun Boji felt a wave of disgust in his heart, and said to the disciples: "Let's all go down." ”

Zhang Shouyang peeked at Xun Boji, and when he saw that he didn't pursue his intentions, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated one after another as the disciples sang the promise. He didn't know that Xun Boji had the idea of expelling him from the division at this time.

"Bo Ji," He Chongyun called.

Xun Boji replied: "Master, what do you command?" ”

"Immediately send a letter and ask you to return to the mountain immediately for retreat. ”

Xun Boji thought for a moment, then understood the master's intentions, and immediately responded: "Yes, disciple will do it!"

Since leaving the Yuquan Courtyard, Shen Yuan followed Gongye He all the way down the mountain and headed towards Tongguan.

On the official road, Gongye and leisurely, the nine swords behind him attracted the sideways eyes of passers-by, Shen Yuan was still wearing the tattered clothes, carrying the Xuantie sword, panting and following Gongye He, the sun was scorching, and he was already sweating. This old and young must not be pointed at.

"Master, rest, I really can't walk!" Shen Yuan felt that his mouth was dry, wiped his sweat and pleaded, "This sword is too heavy!"

Gongyehe took a look, didn't say a word, just walked forward, and walked faster and faster, in the blink of an eye, he saw Gongyehe become a figure the size of a sesame mung bean.

Seeing that he ignored him, Shen Yuan licked his dry lips, gritted his teeth, and had no choice but to follow from a distance.

As he walked, Shen Yuan felt that the sky was spinning, and there was no root under his feet, and he looked at the figure of Gongye He in the distance standing under an old willow tree in a trance, and then his eyes turned black and fell to the ground.

When I opened my eyes again, there was a bed frame and a goose-yellow bed in front of me, and I sat up with wide eyes, looked down at the dark iron sword resting on the head of the bed, let out a long breath, and put my mind at ease.

Looking at the brand-new blue cloth clothes stacked on the side, and a new pair of babacn shoes on the ground, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Looking around the house, the two glazed windows took advantage of the fact that the room was very bright, the tables and chairs in the middle were also very well arranged, and a pot of bluegrass in the corner of the wall was even more elegant.

With a "squeak", Gongye He pushed the door in, dressed in a brand-new robe, holding a roast chicken in his hand, gnawing on himself, seeing Shen Yuan sitting on the bed in a daze, and said vaguely: "Wake up?"

"Master, where are we?" Shen Yuan got off the ground and stared at the roast chicken, swallowing his saliva.

Gongyehe saw that appearance, so he tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan was not polite, grabbed the chicken leg and began to gnaw, thinking that he was hungry and anxious, he choked without eating two bites, and hurriedly sent water down.

Gongye and teased: "Didn't Lao Tzu take in a stupid apprentice, and when he saw the chicken leg, he was so useless?" Seeing that Shen Yuan didn't seem to hear it, he just sat on the stool and ate it, and saw that the chicken leg was left with bones in a few clicks.

With the bottom in his stomach, Shen Yuan can be regarded as relieved. I looked up and asked, "Master, where are we?" I just remember walking with my eyes dark, and I didn't know anything. ”

"Tongguan City," Gongye He picked a chicken bone, and said while picking his teeth: "It's easy for you kid to lie on the ground, and I have to carry you into the city! I didn't think you slept for a day and a night!"

Shen Yuan was not convinced, and argued: "Fight down from that mountain, Master, you let me carry this sword on my back, it's really too heavy, you walked fast along the way, I followed behind and was hot and thirsty, and I couldn't catch up with you, I finally followed up and wanted to take a break, aren't you maybe?"

Then he looked at Gongye and smiled, and said: "Being a teacher is actually testing you, you might as well tell your kid that Lao Tzu pays the most attention to the center of gravity when accepting apprentices, and people who have no great perseverance, even if the talent is high, Lao Tzu can't look down on it." Seeing that Shen Yuan was a little confused, he said, "You kid didn't disappoint Lao Tzu, do you know how heavy that sword is?"

Shen Yuan shook his head.

"Twenty-eight catties," Gongye and walked over to pick up the sword, pulled it out, looked at the sword body, and his eyes were shining, "This sword is called 'North Hell', the sword body is three feet long, one inch and two minutes wide, last year in Xiangyang Sword Shrine, Song Dynasty sword demon with thousands of years of black iron casting, sword body and sword handle are integrated, after thousands of hammers, split the mountain and break the gold, blow hair and break the hair, can be described as invincible. This sword is heavy, and ordinary masters use it clumsily, which is easy to cause lack of morale, so even those who are good at swords are regarded as chicken ribs. Over time, it has become a pearl in the sea, and only I know it as a treasure. ”

Shen Yuan heard these words, not to mention what the Sword Demon Sword Shrine was.

However, Shen Yuan understood that the sword he carried all the way was really amazing. Listen to Gongye and said: "After entering my sect, the master naturally wants to give some benefits to the apprentice, and this Northern Immortal Sword will be yours from now on!"

"Master, really?" said Shen Yuan with some excitement.

"Lao Tzu has always been a man of his word!" With a glare, Gongye and "swish" inserted the sword back into the sheath, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, don't wait for me to regret taking the sword back!"

Shen Yuan hurriedly took the Northern Underworld Sword, clasped his hands in his arms, and smirked.

"Don't be too happy, do you know that if you are tired on the road again yesterday, Lao Tzu will immediately kick you out of the division!" Gong Yehe poured a basin of cold water, "In addition, this Northern Immortal Sword will not be taken for nothing! You must promise me two things, and this sword will belong to you." ”

"Master, you say!"

"First, in addition to sleeping, you must carry this sword on your back at all times, and it will be beneficial for you to spend a long time. The second thing is by no means easy, I will teach me all my skills, but if you reach the realm of the Sword Saint before the age of forty, when Lu Li became a Sword Saint when he was in his forties, Lao Tzu's apprentices must be stronger than him, so that Lao Tzu can have a bright face! Lao Tzu is old, and he must be inferior to Lu Li in this life. Speaking of this, Gongye and his words were a little unwilling.

The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and Shen Yuan agreed happily.

Gong Yehe looked at him and was a little unhappy, how many Lu Li had left in the past few hundred years, and then asked again: "The realm of the Sword Saint, Lao Tzu has never been able to reach the door in his life, you are so sure that you can reach this realm before the age of forty?"

Shen Yuan thought for a while, raised his head and snorted: "Then Lu Li is okay, why can't I? What is it before the age of forty, I can do it before the age of thirty!"

These words really made Gongye and cry and laugh, looking at the little rooster-like appearance, he had to scold: "Phew! You yellow-haired boy, you are not afraid of saying big things and flashing your tongue!"

Then he thought about it and said, "But if you have such ambitions, it can be regarded as worthy of my reputation as Gongyehe! Don't just say that you don't practice, there are not necessarily a few such masters in hundreds of years, and you can't do it unless you have great perseverance and great wisdom, and the suffering is very bearable!"

Shen Yuan's brows tightened, and Gong Yehe looked at it, knowing that he had listened to his words. After a moment of silence, Shen Yuan asked in a low voice, "Master, what is the Sword Saint, who is Lu Li?"

Seeing this question, Gong Yehe nodded, "Since ancient times, there have been literary saints and martial saints, medical saints and wine saints, no matter what, if you achieve the ultimate in the world, you can be respected as a saint." Those of us who practice martial arts also seek the extreme. The sword has a double edge, containing the reincarnation of yin and yang, the meaning of embracing all things, so it is the king of a hundred soldiers, if one day can be the unity of the sword, it is the hand without a sword can also be divided into gold and broken stones; ”

Gongyehe said, his eyes were full of fascination, and he suddenly sighed: "Presumably, in the end, it is still the word 'enlightenment'." The last thing I said was like saying it to myself.

Seeing Shen Yuan bow his head and think, he stopped talking.

Suddenly, Shen Yuan felt that the word 'Sword Saint' was like a star out of reach, and the boast he had just made people laugh at it. For a while, the little face was hot.

Gong Yehe deliberately smiled: "What?

That stubbornness rushed to his head again, and Shen Yuan blurted out: "Don't look down on people, I'll do it to you, if you don't reach this realm before the age of forty, I will return this sword to you!"

Gongye He was stunned for a moment, and then buried his head in laughter. Shen Yuan was puzzled and a little embarrassed: "Stinky old man!

"Damn! I don't even call Master!" Gong Yehe raised his leg and kicked Shen Yuan's ass.

Shen Yuan knew that he was speechless, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he only asked in a low voice, "Who is Lu Li?"

Every time Lu Li was mentioned, Gong Yehe's expression became complicated, with admiration and jealousy, he looked into the distance through the glass window, and said slowly: "Lu Li, even if he has been missing for forty-four years, he still makes Lao Tzu look at him. Don't mention it, come, I haven't had meat for a few days, I'll take you to eat something good for the teacher!"

"Hmm. Shen Yuan didn't react, and suddenly exclaimed, "Hmm, Master, where did we come from?"

"Robbed!"

Shen Yuan was shocked and hurriedly persuaded: "Master, my father once said that robbing people and property is not the work of a righteous gentleman!"

"Bah, when did Lao Tzu say that Lao Tzu is a good person? Less nonsense, go or not!" Gongye He was a little impatient, but there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

Shen Yuan has been exposed to his father's words and deeds since he was a child, don't look at his young age, but he can distinguish between good and evil, and the looted property is stolen after all, and it is not good to use it. Therefore, Shen Yuan still insisted on not going.

Seeing that Shen Yuan couldn't be reluctant, Gongye He thought, the best wine and meat can't eat alone as a master, so he had to say kindly: "That's it, these dozens of taels of silver are obtained from horse thieves outside the city, after you fainted yesterday, Lao Tzu carried you to Tongguan City, the blue sky and the white sun, a few horse thieves dared to rob Lao Tzu's head without opening their eyes, how can I spare it? ”

"Really?" Shen Yuan was skeptical.

"Can I still lie to you as a teacher?"

Thinking of Fang Cai's chicken legs, Shen Yuan swallowed his saliva involuntarily, hesitated for a moment, and grinned: "Okay, Master, I still want to eat roast chicken!"

When Gongye heard this, he hurriedly said: "Let's go, you can eat a few if you want!" After saying that, after Shen Yuan changed into new clothes and shoes, and carried a sword, the master and apprentice went downstairs.

Out of the inn not far to the west, there is a restaurant, business is very good, Gongye He took Shen Yuan as soon as he entered, there was a little two beckoning to take a seat. Serving wine and meat, as soon as Gongye He moved his chopsticks, Shen Yuan got his hands on it, grabbed the roast chicken and gnawed it.

Gongye took a sip of wine and asked Shen Yuan: "Give me an apprentice, I have to suffer hardships and sleep in the open, can I regret it?"

Shen Yuan shook his head, didn't speak, and only cared about eating meat.

"Well," he drank all the wine in the cup, and Gongye and Zhengse said: "Those vulgar sects only care about the rules on their faces, if you really stay there, you may not have much success in this life, let alone revenge." The so-called sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, the world is as big as this vast sea, let you swim!"

Shen Yuan stopped and listened quietly.

"In the future, when you walk in the world, you only need to remember twelve words, know right from wrong, distinguish between black and white, value faith and righteousness, and keep your heart! I will give you the sword of the North Underworld, and I hope that you will not violate the true meaning of the word 'North Hell'!"
