People have left their names, and geese have left their voices. Throughout the ages, the truth has not changed.

It's just that the sound of geese has joys and sorrows, and people's reputations are likes and dislikes. Some people, although the name is left, but it is a notoriety that has been stinking for thousands of years.

There are always positive and negative sides to one thing, doing well is a good thing, and doing it badly is a bad thing.

Li Botao's master and apprentice, wanting to take the throne through the martial arts hall, rely on water to become famous, and work hard, who would have thought that in the end, it would be the result of chickens flying eggs.

Being so troubled by Meng Li, here in the martial arts hall, they have no face to stay any longer. After responding to Meng Li's two-year appointment, Li Botao picked up the depressed Meng Xi and walked out.

Looking at the lonely backs of the two of them clinging to each other, Meng Li couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad in his heart.

Now that two years have passed, with Meng Li's mind and realm at this time, he has long ceased to take them seriously, but if he has the opportunity to repay the shame of the day, he will not give up.

Thinking of the martial arts day two years ago, Meng Li still remembers it vividly, especially what Li Botao did to him, which is even more difficult to forget.

This Li Botao not only forbade him to learn martial arts, but also spoke wildly, slandering him in every way, in a vain attempt to cut off his road to martial arts, if it wasn't for his luck and encounter Yan Xingguan, I don't know what the ending would be today.

Thinking of this, Meng Li secretly sneered in his heart.

This Li Botao, who looks like a human, is actually a sanctimonious person, even if it doesn't fall into his hands, once it falls into his hands, he will be made to pay the price for his actions that day.

Xue Zheng came to Meng Li and looked at this young man who was still immature when he first arrived here two years ago. Two years have passed, and the original immaturity of the teenager is gone, replaced by a calm and elegant bearing. This kind of bearing, Xue Zheng has only seen in those martial artists who are extremely confident in themselves.

Teenagers become famous, nothing more.

This son can be among the first-class at a young age, and his talent is rare in the world, and he is so low-key, it is really terrifying!

Xue Zheng said gratefully: "Little Brother Meng, I am fortunate to have you to make a move today, otherwise my martial arts hall would have been removed from the list in Lishui Town." ”

Meng Li waved his hand and said: "Pavilion Master Xue doesn't have to be polite, I was able to help the Martial Arts Pavilion this time, and I also happened to meet at the right time, besides, what Brother Wang just said is right, with the skills of Pavilion Master Xue, even if there is no me, there will be no accident in the Martial Arts Pavilion." ”

Xue Zhengdao: "If I make a move, I can indeed defeat those two, but the meaning is different, at least I have to bear the infamy of bullying the small." ”

"Pavilion Master Xue is humble. Wang Ergou walked up from behind and said with a smile: "Two madmen, the lesson is also a lesson, no one will say that the Xue Pavilion Master is not." ”

Xue Zheng smiled bitterly: "It seems that this time, it is Xue Mou." However, Xue still has to repay the kindness of the two. ”

After speaking, he asked the left and right disciples to retreat, and ordered Xiao Heizi to prepare dinner.

After running around for a day, Meng Li happened to be hungry, so he didn't excuse himself.

During the meal, Xue Zheng not only asked people to take out the silver money for selling fish, but also took out a silver ticket of fifty taels as a thank you gift for Meng Li's action.

But in the end, Meng Li only accepted his share of the fish money.

After dinner, it was already dark, and Xue Zheng had the intention of keeping the two of them here for the night, but Meng Li refused.

After walking out of the martial arts hall, Meng Li said goodbye to Wang Ergou on the grounds that he had something important, and then went all the way west to the Li Mansion located on West Street in the water town.

Li Qifeng saw Meng Li, who had just separated a day ago, his expression was a little surprised, smelling the fishy smell on the latter's body, and said suspiciously: "You won't be here to sell fish again, will you?"

Meng Li said: "Don't worry, it has been dealt with before you come, and it won't cause you trouble." ”

Li Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "That's fine." He turned his face and smiled: "Tomorrow is the New Year's Pass, since you are here today, then don't leave, just stay for two more days, and then go back after the New Year." ”

The atmosphere of the New Year in the water town is far from being comparable to Mengjia Village, especially the Li family, a businessman who does not worry about money, and the preparation is even more sufficient.

Li Qifeng's happiest day every year is the New Year, and the only regret is that he is a little lonely.

Although Meng Li was very moved, he finally shook his head and said, "It's okay to stay for one night, as for staying here for the New Year, I think it's better to forget it." ”

Li Qifeng said in frustration: "That's really a pity!"

"Don't get in the way, I'll come back when I have a chance later. Meng Li said, actually laughed, and said mysteriously: "Guess what realm I am now." ”

Li Qifeng frowned and said, "When we separated yesterday, weren't you still in the Four Forging Realm? Don't tell me that it only took you one day to break through?"

Meng Li grinned and said, "To be exact, it's a night." ”

Li Qifeng said angrily: "You pervert, I am about to break through now, I thought I could win you this time, but I didn't expect to lose to you again." ”

Meng Li patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Isn't it normal to lose to me, but are you about to break through?"

Li Qifeng said: "After the Chinese New Year, I am ready to make a breakthrough with all my might, and strive for half a month." Enter the realm of first-class martial artists. ”

Meng Li said: "I remember you said before that after becoming a first-class martial artist, you have to go to the rivers and lakes to break through. ”

Li Qifeng said: "The world is so big, if you don't want to sit in the well and watch the sky, you have to walk around in person." ”

In the past two years, if you want to say that the biggest change, it is Li Qifeng.

Originally, Li Qifeng didn't have much ambition, and at first he just wanted to be the guardian saint of the family, but after meeting Meng Li's master and apprentice, he had further ideas.

Meng Li said: "In three months, I will also leave here, are you interested in having a companion with you?"

Li Qifeng shook his head and said, "I still don't want it, if I am with you, I am afraid that I will never have a chance to surpass you in the future." ”

"You character who doesn't admit defeat!" Meng Li sighed, "Then where are you going?"

Li Qifeng thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Xizhou City for a spin first, and then find a second-rate sect to learn art." ”

Meng Li smiled bitterly and said: "Since you are going to Xizhou City, then I will go to Jieshui City, and we will not interfere with the river water in the future, so that you can't rely on me anymore for cultivation." ”

"Then it's settled. As before, the two of them jokingly high-fived and swore an oath. Li Qifeng said: "Let's go, your guest room has been tidied up, and I will take you over to rest." ”

Meng Li grabbed Li Qifeng, who was about to go to the backyard when he turned around, and said with a smile: "What's the hurry, the serious business hasn't been done yet!"

Li Qifeng looked at him suspiciously, and said with a smile: "You are an immodest person, what serious can you do?"

Meng Li feigned anger and said, "You make it clear, why am I not serious?"

"It doesn't matter. Li Qifeng spread his hands and wrote lightly: "Say, what serious things do you have." ”

"I'm here to bring you this. ”

Meng Li took off his shirt and took out the scabbard that had been hidden in his clothes.

"This is ......" Li Qifeng took the scabbard, his expression changed, and he said solemnly: "You wait a minute." ”

Li Qifeng rushed away with his sword scabbard, and a moment later, when he appeared in front of Meng Li again, there was already one more Li Boyun beside him.

Meng Li saw Li Boyun and nodded. In two years, because of Li Qifeng's relationship, Meng Li and the Li family have become more and more close, as the head of the Li family, Li Boyun usually treats Meng Li as a virtuous nephew, not to mention anything else, just say that the guest room that has been prepared in the backyard at this time is a room specially set aside for Meng Li by Li Boyun himself, come and live at any time.

Li Boyun, who usually maintains an elegant demeanor, can't care about greeting Meng Li at this time, holding the scabbard in his arms, and said urgently: "This scabbard is a gift from Li to the respected teacher back then, and the virtuous nephew will return it today, I don't know what the intention is?"

This scabbard represents Yan Xingguan's commitment to the Li family, and now that it is returned, Li Boyun is not worried.

Meng Li smiled slightly, and said: "Uncle Li doesn't have to be nervous, since my master accepted this scabbard, there is no reason to return it for no reason, in fact, the junior is not here today to return the scabbard, but to exchange the scabbard for something." ”

Li Boyun was relieved and said, "What do you want to change?"

Meng Li said: "I want to change the scabbard." ”

The next day, when Meng Li walked out of the gate of the Li Mansion, he had already gotten what he wanted.

Walking on the street leading to the outside of the town, Meng Li held the knife in one hand and stroked the newly acquired scabbard of the previous night with the other, feeling a burst of satisfaction in his heart.

This scabbard, the whole body is blue, and under the sun, the waves are surging, like an ocean, and it is actually made of the blue shark leather of the overlord of the sea, which is not only lightweight, but also tough.

Legend has it that the toughness of the blue shark skin is a hundred times that of cowhide, and it is not inferior to the most precious iron ore.

"This Li Qifeng, it's really interesting, it takes half a month to sew such a scabbard at the earliest, so it seems that he thought about giving me a scabbard a month ago, and I came here this time. ”

Thinking of last night's incident, Meng Li was very moved. He exchanged the scabbard for the scabbard, thinking that this kind of item that needed to be tailored would take a while to get his hands on it. Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Li Qifeng took out the scabbard.

It turned out that Li Qifeng had long wanted to make a scabbard for him, as a parting gift for them when they were wandering the rivers and lakes.

As we walked all the way out, we were about to get out of the town when two fast horses came galloping from outside the town.

In the distance, two clouds of smoke and dust were raised.

Meng Li frowned when he saw two fast horses coming from far and near.

In the town by the water, although there is no explicit prohibition of horseback riding, there are still only a handful of people riding horses in the town, in the final analysis, they are still afraid of hitting innocent pedestrians on the street, but these two fast horses from outside the city, even if they are about to enter the town, are still unscrupulous, and there is no intention of slowing down.
