The sword made of pure gold is so valuable, even if it is a wealthy family like the Li family, it is not said that it can be sent.

Speaking of which, this golden sword has a story. Thirty years ago, one of the eight major sects of the Sword Pavilion, there was a high-ranking disciple who moved the rivers and lakes, and this person was good at using a golden sword, and the people in the rivers and lakes were called the golden sword son. When Jin Jiangongzi walked the rivers and lakes, he did a lot of good things to hoe the strong and help the weak, and he didn't know how many people he saved, including Li Boyun's father.

Thirty years ago, the Li family was not the current Li family, at that time, the Li family made a living by walking horses, from south to north, from north to south, back and forth between Jieshui City and Shui Town, transporting goods for the two places.

Li Boyun's father was the main force of horse transportation, and one day he suddenly encountered a horse thief and almost died under the sword, but fortunately the golden sword boy passed by, so he saved his life. Afterwards, in order to commemorate the life-saving grace of the golden sword prince, the Li family spent a lot of money to build this golden sword after making a fortune.

This golden sword is of great significance to the Li family, but the golden sword has a price, but the favor is priceless. It's a good thing to give it away.

Li Boyun said with a smile: "If the seniors like it, this sword worth thousands of gold is the senior's." ”

Yan Xingguan waved his hand and said: "No need! A gentleman doesn't take people's favor, since this sword is the heirloom of your Li family, how can Yan take it for himself." But this scabbard ......," he said, drawing the golden sword from its scabbard.

Li Boyun hurriedly said loudly: "If the seniors like this scabbard, take it!"

Yan Xingguan didn't say yes or no, held the scabbard and said with a smile: "Do you know the material of this scabbard?"

Li Boyun said: "When I was young, I heard my father say it once, it seems to be some kind of dark iron. ”

Yan Xingguan said: "It's nephrite Xuantie!"

"That's right, that's right, it's nephrite black iron!"

Yan Xingguan asked again, "Then do you know the value of this nephrite jade?"

"I haven't heard of this, Li is proficient in the way of grain and rice, and is not proficient in ore and jade. Li Boyun tilted his ears sideways, looking like he was listening.

Yan Xingguan, who was originally facing south, suddenly turned around and looked north, and in the night sky in the extreme north, there was a group of stars like a mountain. Yan Xingguan looked at the mountains and stars in the night sky from afar, and said with a look of remembrance: "There are mountains under the mountains and stars, and you know that under those stars, there is a mountain with extremely rich mineral vein resources. ”

Li Boyun's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "What did the predecessors say about the mountains of the Northland?"

"That's right, it's the mountains of the Northlands. Yan Xingguan said: "In the extreme north of the North Liang, there is a legend that there are immortals who cultivate, when the immortals ascended, they moved ten mountains with monstrous mana, these ten mountains are rich in mineral veins, each of them has a rare and rare mineral vein, and now the seven great gods known in the world, most of them are from these ten mines. ”

Li Boyun pointed to the scabbard and said, "Then this nephrite Xuantie?"

Yan Xingguan said: "Nephrite Xuantie is a rare ore on the Xuantie Mountain in the ten mines, although it is not the most precious ore, but it is also among the best in the world. ”

Li Boyun, who had never thought that he would have anything to do with the Seven Great Divine Soldiers, was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Yan Xingguan laughed and said, "This scabbard is ten times more valuable than that golden sword, do you still plan to give it to me now?"

Businessmen love money, and Li Boyun can't escape this fate. However, after knowing the huge value of this scabbard, Li Boyun did not hesitate at all.

"Treasures are given to heroes, and this scabbard can only be given to seniors, so that Li can feel at ease. ”

Yan Xingguan took the scabbard and said: "Okay, since you have this heart, then I will not be polite to you, I will live in Mengjia Village for the past two years, if your Li family encounters difficulties, you can go there to find me." ”

"Thank you seniors! Thank you seniors!" Li Boyun was grateful, and immediately bowed to the ground, he didn't expect that today's careful thinking was just a fluke, and he really got what he wanted.

After Li Boyun left, Yan Xingguan picked up the scabbard, and his face suddenly became solemn.

Nephrite Xuantie, ranked nine out of 100 stones in the world, although it is not as good as the Huangyuan dry stone he obtained when he crossed the desert, it is also the second most precious ore he has seen in his life. He didn't know how the Li family got this nephrite dark iron, and he didn't want to know, but now, since this treasure was in his hands, he could no longer disgrace it.

After Meng Li finished practicing the knife, it was already the second half of the night, and he looked up at the stone pavilion, which was already empty, only some dishes and chopsticks dyed with vegetable juice remained.

Fantasizing about the picture of the master feasting, Meng Li couldn't cry or laugh, some people enjoyed happiness, some people suffered, this apprentice really has no human rights at all.

Rubbing his already shriveled belly, he swallowed back the saliva that came out of his mouth, and just when Meng Li was about to go back to his room to rest with hunger, Li Qifeng appeared in front of him again.

Seeing Li Qifeng rushing all the way, Meng Li said vigilantly: "What are you doing here?" He was now exhausted, and he couldn't exert any strength in his body, and he couldn't stand the toss anymore.

Li Qifeng pouted and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to duel with you." "Defeated twice in a row, even if you are not convinced from the bottom of your heart, you will inevitably feel embarrassed when you are alone with Meng Li.

"Don't duel?" Meng Li said with a smile: "At this time, if you don't come to the duel, what can you do?

Li Qifeng snorted coldly: "Even if I sleepwalk, I can't use you to care." ”

"Okay, I don't care!" Meng Li wiped the hot sweat from his face and turned his head to walk towards the room. But he didn't want Li Qifeng to follow.

Meng Li only took two steps, then stood still, glared at Li Qifeng, who was following behind him, and asked, "Since you are fine, what are you doing with me?"

Li Qifeng pulled his neck and said not to be outdone: "Who said that I am going to follow you, I am going to walk the same path as you, can't I?"

Meng Li said, "Are you going to find my master?"

Li Qifeng snorted and didn't answer. But his expression had already told Meng Li the answer.

He guessed right!

Meng Li didn't mind having one more junior brother, but he knew that the possibility of this matter was very small, and through getting along in the past few days, Meng Li, who already had a little understanding of Yan Xingguan, knew what a picky person he was.

There is no such thing as an apprentice. To be honest, he doesn't even know why the other party would take him as an apprentice now.

After smiling bitterly, Meng Li simply regarded Li Qifeng as a transparent person. Since he can't control Li Qifeng's mouth, how can he control his legs?

Meng Li walked back to the room, and Li Qifeng followed. At the door of the room, a man in a black robe stood like a javelin, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Looking at the two people who walked in from outside the door, Yan Xingguan laughed and said, "Seeing the two of you bickering reminds me of some things when I was young. But you're still a little worse than me. ”

Meng Li rolled his eyes and said, "Master, you have unparalleled skills, no matter what you do, you must be a little better than your apprentice." ”

Yan Xingguan laughed and said: "You kid, your kung fu is getting better and better, and it is a fight with the speed of your sword skills." After speaking, he looked at Li Qifeng and asked, "I heard your conversation just now, do you have something important to look for me?"

Li Qifeng said guiltily: "I shouldn't have come to disturb my seniors at this time, but not long ago, a person came to the house, and I had to let my seniors see him." ”

Yan Xingguan said quietly: "But the people in the official gate?"

Li Qifeng was curious: "How would the seniors know?"

Yan Xingguan didn't answer this question, but looked at Meng Li and said triumphantly: "Look, what the teacher said is right, the people who are looking for us are here!"

The town is not a big town, with a population of barely more than 100,000, and the number of cost-effective households is only 30,000 or 40,000. Although the Li family is not a first-class family in the water town, it is also a big family in the water town, and the taxes paid every year are not less than hundreds of taels of silver.

No one wants to offend a cash cow like Li Mansion, even Zhang Song, who was born in a first-class family in Shui Town, so no one has visited Li Mansion in the middle of the night in these years, but as long as he thinks that the murderer is now at large in Li Mansion, Zhang Song can't care so much.

When Li Boyun saw Zhang Song, he knew that trouble was coming, but in the end he still brought Zhang Song to the senior, just because he knew that any trouble would not help the senior. And after seeing Zhang Song's shocked expression after seeing his seniors, he became more sure of his thoughts.

It's still the courtyard, it's still the stone pavilion. When Li Boyun brought Zhang Song to the backyard, the senior who claimed to be surnamed Yan was sitting in the stone pavilion, and the young man named Meng Li standing behind him brought up the mask painted with gods and ghosts for some reason.

On the other hand, Li Qifeng, who came to report before, stood behind the second master and apprentice with a strange face, as if he had heard something terrible.

Li Boyun, who felt strange in his heart, glanced at his son, and when he saw that the latter's expression was abnormal, he quietly pulled his son to retire together.

Walking out of the hospital, Li Boyun pulled his son and asked in a low voice, "What did you hear just now?"

Li Qifeng's heart stirred and said: "A murder case!"

The night was silent, the yard was quiet, even the insects in the corner could be heard clearly, and the weather was much warmer than before in the spring season. But for some reason, Zhang Song at this time had a feeling of being in the ice and snow.

Dressed in black and robed, with a cold and resolute face, especially the pair of sharp eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts, Zhang Song recognized him at the first glance of Yan Xingguan. There will be no mistake, he is the black-robed master who "played" him outside Mengjia Village two days ago.

Yan Xing looked at Zhang Song, who was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Don't you have something to see Yan? Why can't you speak again now that you see it?"

"How could it be you?"

The expression on Zhang Song's face was like a ghost. never thought that Meng Huaiyang's death would really be related to this mysterious master.
