On the first day of the fifth month, in the morning.

Di Mo, who was disappointed in the future, came to the south of Luoyang City alone and stopped in front of a blacksmith shop called "Jin Ming Yuan".

The agricultural tools built here are a must, strong and durable, and inexpensive, so they are deeply favored by the people in Luoyang. In addition to farm tools, Jin Mingyuan also builds blades, but the price is extremely high, far exceeding that of other iron shops, so there are few customers.

Standing outside the door, you can already hear the sound of "ping pong" in Jinming Garden, as well as the chattering of the guys.

"Uncle, please!"

When the guy at the door saw Di Mo, he immediately greeted him with a smile and respectfully let him into the garden.

"What does the uncle want?" the man introduced as he walked, "coulters, hoes, ......"

"Where's the shopkeeper?" Di Mo interrupted impatiently, "I'll get the sword." ”

"Take the sword?" the guy was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "What sword?"

Di Mo glanced at the guy with an unkind gaze, and said indifferently: "The sword that kills." ”

The guy looked strange and asked again, "Who is the uncle going to kill?"

"God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha. ”

Hearing this, the guy's face suddenly straightened, and he bowed to Di Mo and said, "Uncle's teahouse will rest for a while, and the small one will go to pass it on." ”

With that, the guy led Di Mo into the tearoom and ran towards the inner courtyard by himself.

After about half a pillar of incense, a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body and a shiny face walked quickly towards the teahouse, carrying a silver sword in his hand.

"Lao Jia, don't come to harm?"

Di Mo seemed to be quite familiar with Jin Mingyuan's shopkeeper, and when he saw him come in, he didn't get up to greet him, but greeted him very casually.

"Brother Todi's blessing, everything ......"

Lao Jia's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at Di Mo with only one arm left in shock, and an indescribable complex color appeared on his face.

"What are you looking at?" Di Mo smiled nonchalantly, "You know everything that is going on in Luoyang City." My business...... There's no way you don't know. ”

"I heard it a little, I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to ......"

Lao Jia's smile became a little unnatural, he stepped forward quickly, stretched out his trembling hands under Di Mo's ancient Jing Bubo's eyes, groped back and forth on the empty sleeve, and couldn't help but flash a trace of bitterness in his eyes.

"Brother Di, your arm ......"

"It's okay! it's my left arm that is broken, and it doesn't prevent me from using my sword. While talking and laughing, Di Mo's eyes were fixed on the silver sword in Lao Jia's hand, and he said curiously, "For me?"

"Exactly. Lao Jia restrained his mood, hurriedly handed the sword to Di Mo, and said with a smile, "Try to see if you can take advantage of it." ”

"No, there's no blade you've built that you can't take advantage of. Hehe......" With that, Di Mo took out a bulging money bag from his arms, threw it on the table, and then took the sword and got up to leave.

"Brother Di!"

Lao Jia looked at Di Mo's dashing back, and suddenly said: "You and I have known each other for more than ten years, and I don't know if we will say goodbye today...... Do you have a chance to see you again in this life?"

"It's been more than ten years?" Di Mo chuckled without looking back, "Really, why do I feel as if you and I have never met?"

"Over the years, you have come and gone in a hurry every time, and the words we have said together are afraid that there are no more than a hundred sentences. Lao Jia smiled bitterly, "Brother Di, walking the rivers and lakes is like licking blood from the edge of a knife, every time I see you, I will secretly rejoice." And every time I am separated from you, I will be worried. ”

"What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried about whether you can come back when you go out this time?"

"Whether I come back or not, it's my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you. Di Mo laughed at himself, "I was cut off an arm this time, and I can still come back to see you." If someone cuts off your head next time, I'm afraid that you and I will only see you in the next life. ”

"In that case, why don't you and I have a drink today?" Lao Jia said excitedly, "In this way, even if we say goodbye forever, you and I will have no regrets." ”

"From the first day I came to Luoyang City, I had no regrets. Di Mo said contemptuously, "Lao Jia, why are you so verbose today? It's not like you before, but like a girl." ”

"What's the matter?" Lao Jia waved his hand disappreciatively and asked, "This wine ......?"

"Don't drink it!" Di Mo said bluntly, "Right now, I only have one hand left, and I can only hold the same wine and sword." I like your sword more than your wine. ”

"Brother Di......"

"Take care of yourself, I'm leaving!"

Without waiting for Lao Jia to speak, Di Mo suddenly raised his sword high, shook his head at Lao Jia a few times without looking back, it was regarded as a farewell, and then strode away from Jin Mingyuan.

Looking at Di Mo's lonely back, Lao Jia couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

Leaving Jin Mingyuan, Di Mo did not rush back to King Xian's Mansion, but Pegasus went out of the city and traveled all the way to the Luoshui River.

Looking for a secluded and uninhabited place, Di Mo, who had a cold expression, suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, accompanied by a soft sound, silver light flashed, and the cold glow was released.

Di Mo held the sword in one hand, put the tip of the sword against a huge pebble, and suddenly his eyes were fierce, and he secretly used his internal force, and at the same time pressed his wrist downward, with a crisp sound of "click", the pebble was instantly torn apart. At the same time, the sharp sword and the shattered pebbles broke in response.

The sword was divided into two parts, and it was discovered that the sword body was not solid, but hollow.

Di Mo was expressionless, and seemed to be surprised by this. He picked up the half-truncated sword and slammed it on the ground a few times, and a curly note slowly slipped out of the blade.

Seeing this, Di Mo's eyes suddenly froze, and he quickly unfolded the note, and saw that there was a line of beautiful small characters neatly written on it.

"Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. ”

......

In the afternoon, Luoyang City, Donghai Tea House.

"Third Master Jiang, are you here......"

"Without further ado, where are the people?"

"Upstairs please!"

There was no extra greetings, and there was no need for a guy to guide the way, Jiang Yiwei, who looked hurried, walked quickly through the lobby and went straight to the private room upstairs like a familiar car.

Walking to the door, Jiang Yiwei suddenly slowed down, quickly retracted the urgency on his face, and at the same time took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down the fluctuations in his heart, and then knocked lightly on the door and called in a low voice: "Jiang Yiwei asks to see." ”

"Come in!"

A woman's voice came from the private room, her tone was as flat as water, but it was mixed with a hint of not being angry and arrogant.

"Squeak!"

There was a soft sound, and the door was left and right. Jiang Yiwei looked around, flashed into the room, and then closed the door tightly.

In the private room, a graceful and noble woman sat on her lap, her face solemn, as if she was worried. The tea on the table had already become warm, but not a drop had been moved.

This woman is actually Luo Tianjin's wife, Ling Xiaoxiao.

"I've seen Madame!"

In front of Ling Xiaoxiao, Jiang Yiwei didn't dare to make the slightest mistake, and stood respectfully in front of the table, looking at his nose, nose, mouth, and heart, and never dared to look directly into Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes.

"I should have looked for you earlier, but the lord of the mansion has been in a bad mood lately, and he needs me to be by his side often, so he has no time to take care of it. Ling Xiaoxiao said quietly, "However, if I don't look for you, you won't come to me either." Do you think I've forgotten all those old things?"

"Don't dare!" Jiang Yiwei's face changed suddenly, and he said busily, "I just don't dare to disturb ......."

"That's it!" Ling Xiaoxiao interrupted, "Getting back to the point, you should know all kinds of rumors about the Ruthless Valley Lord?"

"Yes. ”

"Since you know, why don't you give me back in time?" Ling Xiaoxiao said angrily, "If I don't ask, how long do you want to hide it from me?"

"It's not that I'm deliberately hiding it, it's really ......" Jiang Yiwei wanted to speak and stopped, looking embarrassed.

Ling Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"

"It's really hard to distinguish between true and false in this matter, most of it is just rumors, Xiao Zhirou can't be Teng Rou back then. Jiang Yiwei flickered, "That's why I didn't disturb Madame......"

"Excuses!" Ling Xiaoxiao said angrily, "It's obvious that you didn't do well back then, but today you shamelessly find some childish excuses to prevaricate me?"

"Wronged!" Jiang Yiwei knelt on the ground with a "poof" and said tremblingly, "No one has ever seen the ruthless valley lord with their own eyes, how can they expect that she is Teng Rou......?

"That's enough!" Ling Xiaoxiao was stunned and said coldly, "Since you can't tell the truth of Xiao Zhirou, then let me tell you that this matter is true, and the ruthless valley lord is the former eldest lady of the Teng clan, so it's fake!"

Jiang Yiwei was stunned and said, "Why is Madam so sure?"

"Because the lord of the house has told me everything that happened back then. Ling Xiaoxiao said in a deep voice, "He has personally admitted that Xiao Zhirou is Teng Rou." Outsiders can't tell the truth from the fake, but how close is the mansion master and Teng Rou?

"This ......"

"How did you promise me back then, and how do you explain it now?" asked Ling Xiaoxiao aggressively, "Teng Rou has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for more than twenty years, and even I am convinced of her death. Now she suddenly appeared and got involved with the mansion master again. Tell me, what is going on, when did she and the lord rekindle the old relationship, or...... She has been secretly in contact with the mansion master all these years, and she has never really disappeared?"

"Impossible!" Jiang Yiwei said firmly, "If the mansion lord knows that Xiao Zhirou is Teng Rou, he will never let the Xianwang Mansion and the Valley of Despair be incompatible." In the past, the lord of the mansion only had hatred for the Valley of Despair, and never showed any mercy. I dare to assert that the mansion master must not have known that Teng Rou was still alive before......"

As for this, Jiang Yiwei's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he said thoughtfully: "I know, it was Liu Xunyi who told the mansion master!"

"Liu Xunyi?"

"That's right! The mansion lord once sent Liu Xunyi to the Valley of Despair to find out the truth, and soon after Liu Xunyi came back, the mansion lord let Tang Afu and the others go safe and sound. It was also from that time that the lord of the mansion became particularly concerned about the Valley of Despair. As soon as we mentioned it, he was very impatient and forbade us to interfere. Jiang Yiwei groaned, "Now that I think about it, the lord of the mansion at that time should have guessed Xiao Zhirou's true identity." ”

"It's Liu Xunyi again!" Ling Xiaoxiao said angrily, "No wonder the mansion lord is so partial to him, it turns out that he has secretly hosted so many 'good things' for the mansion." As soon as Xiao Zhirou appears, the Xianwang Mansion will suffer bad luck, and she must not be allowed to disturb the mansion master, let alone let her be entangled with the mansion master. ”

"What Madame said is extremely true!" Jiang Yiwei echoed, "Putting aside the grievances of the past for the time being, she is now a notorious pagan demon, once she is entangled with the lord of the mansion, the reputation of the Northern Xian King will inevitably be ruined, and the foundation that the Xian Wang's Mansion has worked so hard to accumulate will also be ruined." ”

Ling Xiaoxiao said coldly: "This disaster started because of you, and it is up to you to clean up the mess." Xiao Zhirou or Teng Rou. All in all, I don't want a second woman next to Brother Jin besides me!"

"Madam, Xiao Zhirou is not what it used to be, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll ......"

"That's your problem!"

Ling Xiaoxiao was displeased, and suddenly got up and left. walked to the door, but suddenly stopped, and reminded without looking back: "The incident back then, except for you, everyone else is no longer alive." If you don't want to follow in their footsteps, settle the matter before the incident, if not...... Hello for yourself!"

Before the words fell, Ling Xiaoxiao had already opened the door and walked quickly downstairs.

In the private room, Jiang Yiwei, who was frightened and cold-boned, instantly collapsed to the ground, the six gods had no owner, and he was at a loss, and he couldn't slow down for a long time.
