Referring to the past before coming to the Iron Sword Gate, Su Mai unexpectedly remembered Wu You.

The down-and-out young man who came with him, he should have stayed in this Iron Sword Gate, but God made people, and he, the person who accompanied him, stayed, but he was nowhere to be found.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel emotional, and I was a little more worried about Wu You's whereabouts.

Gao Xiang saw that Su Mai's mood was suddenly a little low, and he was about to comfort him a few words, but he heard Su Mai suddenly say:

"Senior Brother Gao, do you know that there is a person named Ergou in the room?"

Gao Xiang snorted and said:

"Don't make fun of me, it's better to call me by my name, you just asked me about the room?"

"Well, I suddenly remembered that there was a son of an old man who was doing chores in the Tiejian Gate's room, and I wanted to visit him. ”

Su Mai stood up and replied facing the small courtyard.

"There are two rooms in the valley, the inner valley room is guarded by the disciples in the door, and the daily management is stricter, and I am familiar with the room in the outer valley, but I have never heard of a man named Ergou. ”

Gao Xiang closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said from afar.

"His surname is Li, think again. ”

Su Mai said eagerly, for Li Laohan's kindness back then, it is still unforgettable, if he can meet his son and express his gratitude, it will be a wish.

"There is a man surnamed Li in the room in the outer valley, but he is not called Ergou, it seems to be called Li Mudao, I will take you to ask. ”

Gao Xiang also stood up after speaking, and walked out of the door with a gesture.

Su Mai followed Gao Xiang out of the courtyard gate, along the bluestone avenue all the way to the north, and entered through a path by the small courtyard wall in the northeasternmost corner.

After walking less than fifty steps, there was a faint burst of fragrance coming over, and there was no need to ask, naturally it was the room that arrived.

After walking for a while, Gao Xiang pointed to a low house under the cliff, and turned to Su Mai:

"This is the room in the outer valley, let's go in and ask."

Su Mai nodded and looked ahead.

I saw that under the precipice, about half an acre in a square area, from south to north densely covered with a row of wooden houses, about a foot high.

At first glance, there are more than a dozen rooms, and the construction is very simple, and one of the roofs on the north side of it is emitting white smoke, which is obviously the location of the kitchen.

"This room is divided into a kitchen, a dining room, a utility room, a living room, etc., the disciples and handymen of the room live and live here, if the Li Ergou you are looking for is still in the Iron Sword Gate, it should be here", Gao Xiang introduced as he walked.

Su Mai looked around for a moment, and then followed Gao Xiang inside.

When he was about to enter the gate, he suddenly heard a howl from the inside, and it was very painful.

Su Mai was shocked, glanced at Gao Xiang, and was about to ask, only to see Gao Xiang's face change slightly, and he rushed in with an arrow step, shouting loudly:

"What happened?"

Su Mai strode in, only to see a young disciple dressed in the clothes of an outer disciple, who was beating a half-grown boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old with a rattan.

The young man was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, and his upper body was covered with blood, and he was curled up in the corner, with tears in his eyes and a face full of grievances.

When the outer disciple saw Gao Xiang rushing in, his face changed, and he hurriedly threw down the rattan, arched to salute, and said:

"Ma Ming, the head of the house, has seen Senior Brother Gao!"

Gao Xiang waved his hand and asked loudly: "What's the matter, the gang is under the jurisdiction of the deacon hall, and if there is something to be reported to the senior brother in charge, you, as the master, dare to abuse lynching?"

Ma Ming was shouted by Gao Xiang, trembling with fright, and hurriedly saluted:

"Senior Brother Gao is clear-sighted, the little ones don't dare, if they have to do it, they don't dare to make this decision"

Gao Xiang looked puzzled, this Ma Ming is familiar with him on weekdays, and he is also cautious and cautious on weekdays, and there are few mistakes, but I am afraid that today's things will be strange.

So he stretched out his hand and pulled Ma Ming up, and immediately asked, "What happened, you tell me carefully!"

Ma Ming thanked him, straightened up, walked straight to the wall, pulled up the tortured young man, and said kindly:

"You go out first".

When the young man heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he didn't care about the pain on his body, so he took three steps and two steps, and ran out.

Ma Ming then turned around with a smile on his face, invited Gao Xiang and the two to an inner room inside, poured water and served tea, and then told the truth of the matter, and begged Gao Xiang to help coordinate by the way.

It turned out that the young man surnamed Qiu, who was originally a nearby mountain man, entered the Tiejianmen gang room to do miscellaneous work because of his parents' affection, and he was the youngest among the six miscellaneous servants in the gang, so everyone called him Xiaoliu.

Although Qiu Xiaoliu is young, he is very clever, and he usually follows Ma Ming before and after, and he is very pleased.

Originally, life was also dull and comfortable, but the day before yesterday, he accidentally caused a lot of trouble, so that Ma Ming finally had to resort to a bitter trick and beat him hard.

At noon the day before yesterday, a group of outer disciples went to the room to eat, and they wanted to taste the famous dish "steamed mullet" in Qingshi City, the original reason was to make a trip for He Shiyuan and Senior Brother He.

At that time, Ma Ming was out on errands, and Xiao Liuzi couldn't be the master for a while, so he was deadlocked.

According to the regulations of the Iron Sword Sect, ordinary disciples must eat according to the rules of the room, and without the permission of the elders, they are not allowed to add meals separately to show equality.

The house has always been implemented according to this regulation, and no disciple has ever trespassed.

Originally, it was enough to implement the rules in the room, but the senior brother He in front of him was a man of the hour among the outer disciples today, and ordinary people did not dare to offend.

Originally, it was said that among the outer disciples, after being selected by the elders "Wangqi", it was difficult to have any missing pearls.

However, due to the different physiques, the growth and change of the breath in the human body are different from time to time, and ordinary disciples can see it at a glance, and some people with special physiques, for some reason, the changes in the breath in the body are in a dormant state, and they are no different from ordinary people with the "Qi Lookout Technique", but once driven by the true qi, their characteristics are reflected.

This He Shiyuan is one of them, and he is also the most popular among the outer disciples of this year.

Half a year ago, he broke through the state of mind washing, and now he can control the magic weapon, and he is only one step away from the flight of the sword.

This kind of cultivation is an advanced realm, and it is also an outstanding person among the inner disciples, which naturally attracts the attention of all the elders except the Patriarch Hall.

After some open and secret fighting, he was officially accepted by Mo Changfeng, the elder of the torture hall, a few days ago, and was about to enter the inner door in a few days.

There is such a person among the outer disciples, it can be said that he is famous, and the gang naturally knows a little about it, and it is reasonable for the disciples to do it for him this time.

Entering the torture hall, it can be said that the future is very good, take the opportunity to climb some friendships, maybe you can help one or two in the future.

You must know that among the outer disciples, except for those with superhuman qualifications or particularly diligent, most of them will not be able to peek into the inner door throughout their lives, and it is not an honor to be able to meet one or two outstanding inner disciples.

In this situation, the usually shrewd Qiu Xiaoliu naturally knew about it.

Originally, it was not difficult to get a "steamed mullet" in the house, and it was not impossible to sell personal favors.

It's just that the rules of the Iron Sword Gate are very strict, if you exceed the rules, you will be punished at the lightest, and you will be expelled from the door wall at the worst, Qiu Xiaoliu will naturally not do such a thankless job, but the two sides are confronted.

If it comes to force, the miscellaneous servants and low-level outer disciples in the room are naturally not the opponents of He Shiyuan's side, and no one dares to provoke trouble first.

Unexpectedly, in the high mood of both sides, I don't know who suddenly moved, and the two sides used hands and feet to scuffle together.

After a while, the guy's side suffered a big loss, and their noses and faces were swollen.

Qiu Xiaoliu was also injured a lot, and when he saw the brothers in the room suffering, he was hot-headed for a while, rushed into the kitchen, rushed out with a pot of hot soup, and threw it towards He Shiyuan.

Seeing this, everyone dodged one after another, but they vacated He Shiyuan, who was sitting at the table for a long time.

Fortunately, his cultivation was relatively high, and he subconsciously waved his sleeves to dodge, but the person was not burned, and a pot of thick soup was splashed on the table in front of him.

The fairy sword that was originally placed on the table and was regarded as a god by everyone was drenched, and the vegetable juice and oil were sprinkled all over the sword body, which was very embarrassing.

Those who cultivate the truth regard the magic weapon as their life, and the iron sword gate is dominated by the sword, and the sword is like its person.

As a newcomer's disciple, He Shiyuan was given a sword by the deacon hall half a year ago, called "Cold Dragon", and regarded it as his life, and never left his body on weekdays.

Today's sword is defiled, which is equivalent to humiliating himself, and when he is angry, he will be questioned if he holds Qiu Xiaoliu, claiming that he has polluted people and immortal weapons, insulted the same door, and should be handed over to the torture hall for disposal.

Everyone in the gang was afraid of its authority, they all looked at each other, and they didn't dare to ask, and the rest of the disciples didn't care about the life or death of a miscellaneous servant, so they coaxed and set up Qiu Xiaoliu and wanted to go out.

At this time, Ma Ming rushed back, and when he encountered this situation, he apologized, and after some pleading, he saved Qiu Xiaoliu, and promised to explain to He Shiyuan and others in three days.

Today is the three-day period, Ma Ming has nothing to explain, and the delay of three days is just a delaying strategy, but now the time is approaching, but there is no good solution.

After some deliberation, he had no choice but to do this bitter trick and beat Qiu Xiaoliu hard, so as to express himself to He Shiyuan.

After listening to Ma Ming's statement, Gao Xiang frowned, was silent for a moment, and said indifferently:

"You've worked so hard, I'm afraid it's going to be in vain. ”

Ma Ming was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Gao has a good plan?"

Gao Xiang shook his head, sighed lightly, and said:

"This He Shiyuan is the most prominent among the outer disciples of this year, and he is not far behind among the inner disciples, he is already arrogant, but now he is favored by Elder Mo, and he has ascended to the sky in one step, that cold dragon sword is what his heart likes, this time he is humiliated, how can he let it go easily!"

When Ma Ming heard this, his heart was cold, and he hurriedly said: "If the senior brother comes forward, can he ......?"

Gao Xiang knew his intentions, waved his hand and said:

"Ordinary outer disciples may be able to give me a few thin noodles, this He Shiyuan is the future Elder Mo of the Torture Hall, I have a few catties and a few taels, you should be clear. ”

Ma Ming smiled, stepped forward and said, "According to Senior Brother's opinion, what should I do?"

Gao Xiang groaned slightly, glanced at Su Mai on the side, and said, "Wait and see." ”

Ma Ming was confused, looking at the strange man next to Gao Xiang, with a look of help.

Seeing this, Su Mai couldn't bear it, so he said:

"Senior brother don't have to worry too much, then Senior Brother He Shiyuan must also be very angry for a while, he should not be too persistent, and Brother Qiu just missed his blade for a while, and he didn't hurt anyone, and he didn't get into trouble in the torture hall, we are waiting here, waiting for his arrival, and ask for reason, the Iron Sword Gate has its own rules, I don't believe he can come nonsense." ”

Ma Ming listened to his tone, it seemed that Gao Xiang and the others intended to intervene, and he was overjoyed, and he nodded his head in a hurry.

While the three of them were chatting, some disciples had already entered the dining hall one after another, and after a while, they only heard a loud shout:

"Senior Brother He has arrived. ”

There was a sudden silence outside, and it was obvious that what happened three days ago had already spread throughout the outer valley.

Those who arrived early today have the mentality of watching the excitement, after all, the spiritual life is very boring and boring, and occasionally something happens, like throwing a stone into the stagnant water, and suddenly there are layers of ripples.

Many people were even a little excited, coming over early to wait, expecting something different to happen.

Which is weak or stronger is not the focus of their attention, the key is that there is conflict, not to mention that one of them is still the pride of the sky, no matter what the outcome is, it is a good conversation point for boring life.

Life is like a play, anyone can become a drama in the eyes of others, and He Shiyuan is naturally no exception.
