Walking down the stone steps, all around him was white mist, he couldn't see it, he only heard the sound of birds echoing in the mountain stream, Qu Bingru grabbed Xiao Ling'er's hand tightly, and didn't let go for a moment, the two didn't know how far they went, slowly, the white fog gradually dissipated, and the objects in front of them were already visible, looking up, they found that they were no longer in the valley, and the stone steps under their feet disappeared at some point, the two stepped on the grass, and then turned their heads to look, but they couldn't find the way down the mountain, and the white fog that was still permeated before was gone at this time.

Xiao Ling'er's eyes widened: "Bing'er, it's really strange, do you remember where we came from?"

Qu Bingru looked left and right and said, "I don't know where it came from, why is the white fog gone in a blink of an eye!"

didn't wait for Xiao Ling'er to reply, only to see Qu Bingru's eyes light up, pointing to the front and saying happily: "Brother Xiao, look, road, road, we are out." "He was as happy as a child.

Xiao Ling'er was also very excited in his heart, but he restrained his excitement, and he seemed to have something on his mind thoughtfully.

"Aren't you happy that we're coming out?" Qu Bingru asked, "I know, Brother Xiao must still be thinking about Murong's seniors." ”

Xiao Ling'er smiled and said, "I really can't hide anything from you, girl." I was thinking, we have a relationship with this senior, and it is really like a dream to take this Heavenly Sword and this Sword Spectrum, but you see, I forgot how to go down the mountain, and it is impossible to go back to worship this Murong senior. ”

Qu Bingru thought for a while and said, "Brother Xiao doesn't have to blame himself, I think this is God's arrangement, and Senior Murong doesn't want anyone to disturb him." ”

Xiao Ling'er sighed.

Qu Bingru said: "Brother Xiao, don't think about it, since you have come out, let's go, there are still a lot of interesting things waiting for us." After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Ling'er to reply, he pulled him away.

Along the way, Qu Bingru kept asking.

"Brother Xiao, are we sharing weal and bene, after this trip to Tianji Valley, I think I cherish the time with you even more, I don't know what Brother Xiao thinks. ”

"I'm also very happy with Bing'er. Xiao Ling'er said with a smile.

"Brother Xiao bowed down to the two iron spears, did he remember something?"

"These iron spears were originally passed on to me by Master Wang Shun, but now I have left them in Tianji Valley, I'm really sorry Master. ”

"Brother Xiao, don't think so, you think, there are still many things for you to do on the rivers and lakes, you meet your master first, he knows everything from Jiuquan, and he also hopes that your martial arts will become higher, doesn't he? Now that I have met Murong senior, it was arranged by God, and after you have practiced the Heavenly Absolute Sword Technique and walked alone in the martial arts, it is not too late to apologize to your master." ”

"But I still feel sorry for his old man. ”

"Brother Xiao, don't think about it, let's go. ”

......

Along the way, Qu Bingru was happy like a child, before and after running, he also picked a lot of wildflowers in his hands, and also, in the past few days in Tianji Valley, it was a challenge to the willpower and spirit of both of them.

The two walked forward along the main road, and Xiao Ling'er said, "We don't know where we are, we should find someone to ask." ”

Qu Bingru nodded and said, "Yes, I have to find a passer-by to ask, but we walked on this official road for a long time, and we didn't see anyone along the way." ”

Xiao Ling'er looked at the ruts on the ground and said, "There were people passing by on this road not long ago, if we go further, we will definitely meet passers-by." ”

The two continued to walk, and after a short distance, they finally saw a tea shop on the side of the road for people to rest.

Seeing someone, Qu Bingru was very happy, and ran forward quickly, but he didn't run two steps, he stopped again, looked at Xiao Ling'er and said, "Brother Xiao has silver taels on him?"

Xiao Ling'er smiled bitterly and shook her head, now not only do the two of them have no silver taels, but even their clothes are in tatters, if they don't pay attention, the two of them will look like beggars now.

"Brother Xiao, what should I do, I've been walking for most of the day, and my throat is already thirsty, we don't have any silver, how is this good?"

Xiao Ling'er's throat has long been thirsty, but now in the situation, there is no choice, he touched his body for a long time, and finally touched a copper, he was overjoyed, and said: "Bing'er, let's go, I have a copper on my body, buy you a bowl of water to drink." ”

"Is one copper enough?"

"We don't buy tea, a bowl of water is enough. ”

The two walked towards the tea shop, it was noon at this time, there were already several customers in the tea shop, and the little child, who had been standing and waiting for a long time, saw them approaching, threw the towel in his hand over his shoulder, turned his head and left.

Xiao Ling'er stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, buy a bowl of water." ”

Xiao Er looked at the copper in his hand, shook his head and said, "You better buy it elsewhere, right?"

Xiao Ling'er was puzzled and said, "It's enough to buy a bowl of water and a copper." ”

Xiao Er sneered: "It was enough before, but now it's not enough, this army is in chaos, a bowl of water is not worth a copper, and the money from the two beggars to buy water is not stolen." ”

Xiao Ling'er wanted to say something, Qu Bingru's eyes widened, and she said politely: "How do you talk, what a beggar, if you don't sell a bowl of water, just say something cool." ”

Xiao Er sneered: "I see a lot of beggars like you every day, besides, the water is mine, the money is yours, why don't I buy it?"

Qu Bingru wanted to be angry, Xiao Ling'er withdrew her hand and said, "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, is it necessary to get angry?"

Xiao Er waved his hand and said, "Don't be long-winded, get out, don't stop me from doing business." ”

At this moment, a rough man sitting at the table next to him said: "You little two are so uninteresting, and people don't give you money, why not buy a bowl of water with a copper, there is no place to rest all the way, tell him how to go." ”

Xiao Er sat on the bench with his buttocks, and snorted in his mouth: "I can't control this, anyway, I can't buy a bowl of water for a copper." ”

With a "clang", the man slapped an extra knife on the table in his hand, and said: "They are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, why bother with it, look at the two of them and they don't look like bad people, do you sell Cong or not?"

Xiao Er sneered with a nonchalant look: "Don't come to this set, man, you don't ask, in the area of Dongting Lake, who doesn't give face to the Nangong gang leader, this tea shop is his." ”

"His grandmother's. The man jumped up, rushed to Xiao Er with an arrow step, and the knife in his hand was on his neck, "What about you being the 'Tianji Gang', Lao Tzu just can't get used to you." ”

Seeing the man make a move, several people at the table next to him suddenly jumped up together, with more swords in their hands, surrounding the man, and at the same time, 3 men also jumped out of the house, also holding swords in their hands.

Xiao Er sneered: "If you want to make trouble in our 'Tianji Gang' territory, I don't think you want to live anymore." ”

The man glanced at Xiao Ling'er and the others, put away the knife, and said, "Lao Tzu doesn't want to fight today." Reaching out and taking out a few copper coins from his bosom and throwing them on the ground, "Give him two bowls of water." ”

Xiao Er picked up the copper coin on the ground and sneered at Xiao Ling'er and the others: "Count you lucky, meet a good person, wait for me." ”

Xiao Ling'er arched her hand to the man and said, "Thank you, for the grace of water, I, Xiao Ling'er, will repay you in the future." ”

Hearing Xiao Ling'er's words, the man turned to look at him a few times, and suddenly laughed happily: "Brother Xiao, I'm Zhao Chong, do you remember?"

"Brother Liu. Xiao Linger was also happy.

This man is none other than Zhao Chong, the general under Xia Yuanfeng.
