Liu Chen came back to his senses suddenly, his eyes were still full of sorrow, and said, "The last black iron box contains the key to open the fox fairy ghost mound. ”

At this moment, even if Liu Chen didn't say it, Ye Bieqiu could understand why he and Liu Chen had only met for the first time, Liu Chen believed in him so much, and brought him to the secret room where he hid his sword.

Because, there are not many people who can talk to Liu Chen.

Since ancient times, heroes have been lonely, when a person is in a low place, he is looked down upon everywhere, and he always wants to go to a high place, but in the end, he finds that the higher he goes, the fewer people who follow him, and when he finds that he is only left alone in the high place, it is too late to turn back.

"I heard that Ye Qiuxian has some relationship with 'Cold Noodle Tai Sui' Yang Geyin, I don't know if this matter is true or not?"

Liu Chen suddenly asked.

Ye Beiqiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did the owner of the village suddenly ask about this?"

"Because Yang Daxia has an extraordinary relationship with the fox fairy ghost mound. ”

Ye Beiqiu pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Strictly speaking, I do have some relationship with Yang Geyin, his wife Ye Lin is married to our Ye family, but these are many years ago, I don't know what he has to do with the ghost mound?"

Liu Chen leaned his left hand behind him, stroked his beard with his right hand, and said, "I heard that the key to the fox fairy ghost mound was left by him, but I don't know if the one in the box is real or fake, so I want to ask Qiu Xian to identify it." ”

"The key to the fox fairy ghost mound was left by him?. ”

"Yes, none of the people who have been to the fox fairy ghost mound can come out alive, and even if they come out alive, the people who come out have become crazy, except for one person. ”

"Yang Geyin?"

"Yes, Yang Daxia not only came out, but also came out unharmed, but when everyone asked him about the secrets in the ghost mound, he always said that there was no treasure in the ghost mound, and nothing else was mentioned, and he hid the seven keys that could open the fox fairy ghost mound, and no one was allowed to enter the ghost mound. ”

Ye Bieqiu nodded and pondered, "If you say this, there is really some ulterior secret hidden in the ghost mound. ”

"Whether there is a secret or not, only those who have been to Onizuka know. ”

Liu Chen took out the last black iron box from the silver iron shelf and placed it on the ground.

"Six of the seven keys have been destroyed, and now the one in the old man's hand is the last one, Qiu Xian, please take a look. ”

In the dim light of the fire, Liu Chen slowly opened the black iron box, only to see that inside was a black iron key more than two inches long.

At one end of the key was a small circle, apparently the handle used to twist the key, and down the circle was a dense bump, almost like a hedgehog that had shrunk into a ball.

A small key can do this, and the man who developed this kind of key and lock is really amazing.

"This is the key to unlocking the fox fairy ghost mound?"

"Yes, Qiu Xian, please take a look. ”

Liu Chen handed over the black iron box and said.

Ye Beiqiu took out the key in the box, looked at it, nodded, and said, "This kind of iron is indeed only found in the depths of the extreme east of the East China Sea Kingdom, and its rarity is more than ten times rarer than the black iron you used to make the black iron sword." ”

"So, the key should be real?"

"It can't be fake. ”

"Then I'm relieved. ”

"Rest assured what?"

"I'm sorry to give it to you. ”

Ye Biqiu was surprised: "Give it to ...... Me?"

"Not bad. ”

"Why?"

"Because I have something I want to ask Qiu Xian for help. ”

"Could it be...... Do you want me to go to the fox fairy ghost mound for you to find the elixir?"

"-Hahaha, Qiu Xian, if you say such a thing, you may be underestimating the old man. ”

Liu Chen suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, and said.

"Isn't this what the owner asked me for?"

"Never!"

"Why is that?"

"—Ye Wuyan. ”

Liu Chen said word by word.

Ye Beiqiu was stunned and said, "Ye Wuyan?"

"Yes, I want to ask Qiu Xian for a favor, if you catch Ye Wuyan, you will surround him with his life. ”

"How does the owner know the purpose of my visit?"

"From the moment you stepped into Jiangnan, I knew your intention, and with you, one of the four great gods of Lingcheng, Iron Fist. ”

"Iron Fist is also here, I haven't told anyone about this, how did the owner know?"

"The old man has not yet reached the point of dementia, how can a person who can go to Qiuyu Villa with Qiuxian to drink unenviable wine, how can he be a general. ”

As soon as he stepped into the secret room, Ye Bieqiu could already feel that with Liu Chen's courage and realm, he would never be a famous thief in the rivers and lakes, and the left-handed swordsman Ye Wuyan.

But why did he intercede for Ye Wuyan at this moment? Could it be that Ye Beiqiu guessed wrong, Liu Chen was the real Ye Wuyan?

Ye Beiqiu said: "I can promise the owner, but can the junior take a look at the left shoulder of the owner of the village first?"

"Look at my left shoulder?

"Because Ye Wuyan was stabbed in the left shoulder by a junior with a sword, he ......"

"So, do you suspect that I am Ye Wuyan?"

Ye Bieqiu nodded and did not speak.

Liu Chen smiled and said, "Okay." ”

After speaking, Liu Chen opened the placket on his chest and exposed his upper body.

Liu Chen's seemingly thin appearance is even thinner, his skin is dark, and his collarbones and ribs are clearly visible.

Although his body looked no different from that of a thin old man, Ye Bieqiu could still feel the sword qi on his body, the sword qi emanating from his body itself.

This kind of feeling is something that ordinary people can't feel.

There was no wound on the left shoulder, only a cyan dragon, a dragon head on the chest, and the body straddled the dragon wrapped around the shoulders around the arms.

Although Jiaolong was lifelike, it had also become thin and weak with Liu Chen's body.

In the eyes of others, this is just an old dragon tattoo, but in Ye Bieqiu's opinion, this dragon is the same as Liu Chen, sharp and murderous.

"Good embroidery. ”

Seeing this over-the-shoulder dragon, Ye Bieqiu couldn't help but admire.

"When I was young, I didn't expect to get the appreciation of Qiu Xian, and it was not in vain that I hurt for more than two hours. ”

Liu Chen slowly pulled his clothes on, and there was already a little more pride and admiration in his eyes.

is proud of the tattoos on his body, and there are very few things that can make Ye Bieqiu look at, so he is very proud.

What I admire is Ye Bieqiu's vision, in the eyes of everyone, this is just a broken dragon, but who knows that when Liu Chen was a teenager, he had found the top seven tattoo masters in Quannanzhou to stab this dragon so vividly.

Ye Bieqiu suddenly said, "I don't understand. ”

"Don't understand what?"

"I don't understand why the owner of the village gave up arresting him since he is not Ye Wuyan. ”

Liu Chen sighed, his face was heavy, and said, "The old man didn't let Qiu Xian give up arresting him, he just hoped that after Qiu Xian caught him, he would be able to surround his life." ”

"Master Liu knows Ye Wuyan?"

"I guess I know. ”

"You ...... What's the relationship?"

Liu Chen's face suddenly became heavier, and he said, "He is one of my ...... Old friend. ”

Ye Bieqiu said: "You gave me the key to open the fox fairy ghost mound, just to let me go around Ye Wuyan's life?"

"No, there's more. ”

Liu Chen opened the other two black iron boxes and took out the 'green bamboo' and the black iron long sword.

"And this black iron long sword, and this 'green bamboo', as well as all the eighteen weapons here, are all for you. ”

Ye Beiqiu said: "Give it all to me?"

"Yes. ”

"Give it all to me, just so that I can spare Ye Wuyan's life?"

"Yes. ”

Ye Beiqiu shook his head with a smile and sighed, "No need." ”

"No more?"

"Yes. ”

"Why? Doesn't Qiu Xian help me? Or does the old man not send enough?"

"Enough, just because you sent too much. ”

"So what?"

"So, please put these things back in their place, I promise you, I won't hurt Ye Wuyan's life. ”

"These things...... You don't want it?"

"I don't want to. ”

"Why?"

Ye Bieqiu said: "If you think that these things can impress me, then the owner of the village will also underestimate me, I help you not because of these things, but because of you." ”

"-me?"

"Yes, I respect the owner's personality, and I help the owner because of the owner's personality. ”

"Good. ”

"Good?"

"Yes, because I finally didn't see the wrong person. ”

From the time Liu Chen said that Ye Wuyan was one of his old friends, his eyes were already full of sorrow, Ye Bieqiu couldn't imagine that the former No. 1 Divine Sword in Nanzhou, and now the fist of the mighty Jiangnan is like the wind, there will be such a helpless time.

What is the relationship between him and Ye Wuyan, he can even want the treasure he has treasured for many years for Ye Wuyan.

Ye Bieqiu didn't know, but Ye Bieqiu suddenly found that this old-timer, who seemed to be very stern on the outside, was not as cold and unkind as he imagined.

Under the seemingly murderous appearance, there is more loneliness, loneliness, and helplessness......

Ye Beiqiu said: "I promise you to spare his life, but how does the owner of the village know that I will definitely be able to catch Ye Wuyan, if I can't catch him at all, then won't the treasures of the owner of the village be all bamboo baskets to draw water?"

Liu Chen said: "Ye Qiuxian, who even comes and goes freely in the 'Ten Thousand Sword Tomb', how can there be people in the world who can't be caught, even if there is, I'm afraid that he hasn't been born yet."

"My martial arts skills are far inferior to the sword commander of the 'Ten Thousand Sword Tomb', it's just that the light skills are better. ”

"But Qiu Xian's did beat him, didn't he?"

"It's just a little bit of luck. ”

"The sword handsome of the 'Ten Thousand Sword Tombs', known as the first swordsman in Beifeng Kingdom, has unparalleled swordsmanship, the old man has long wanted to ask for advice, but he has already sealed the sword for many years, and he doesn't want to point to the rivers and lakes anymore, but he can't imagine that he was ...... by Qiu Xian."

Suddenly, Liu Chen picked up the seven-star snake whip on the silver iron frame, shook it vigorously, and then stabbed at Ye Beiqiu, the snake whip had stabbed straight into Ye Beiqiu's throat, like a life-threatening sword.

Ye Beiqiu didn't hide, let alone move, and didn't even blink his eyelids.

- Bang, a long sword-like whip, Liu Chen held one end in his hand, and the other end had been inserted into the wall.

The whip pierced into the wall, passing by two inches to the left of Ye Bieqiu's neck, and there was still two inches left, and the whip touched Ye Bieqiu's neck, and there was still two inches left, and the whip pierced Ye Bieqiu's neck.

"Well, I didn't see the wrong person. ”

Liu Chen's expression was already moving.

Ye Beiqiu didn't move, but the skin on the left side of his neck had been brushed by the sword qi, and he couldn't help but arouse goosebumps.

He always thought that Ye Wuyan's swordsmanship was unmatched, and Jian Shuai's swordsmanship was even rarer in the world, until now, after he saw Liu Chen's swordsmanship, he felt that the two of them were like children playing with toys, how could there be any unparalleled swordsman's temperament.

Liu Chen suddenly pulled back hard, and the seven-star snake whip was quickly returned to his hand.

"How about my sword compare to the sword handsome?"

Ye Beiqiu said: "Although Jian Shuai's swordsmanship is famous in Beifeng, it is fast, ruthless, and accurate, and it is even half of the owner. ”

"Really?"

"It's true. ”

Liu Chen's expression suddenly became very strange, and his eyes looked at the pierced hole in the wall, as if he was sighing.

"I'm old, and my swordsmanship is no longer what it used to be, and it took fifty percent of my sword to barely pierce the wall. ”

"The material of this stone wall is different from ordinary stones, and it is not trivial that Liu Zhuang can stab the wall like this with fifty percent of his strength. ”

"-Hahaha, Qiu Xian is really an old man, presumably the little girl has prepared a meal now, why don't we go out and eat and chat?"

"Well, that's exactly what I mean. ”

"—please. ”

Ye Bieqiu hugged his fists and said, "Please." ”

- With a bang, the stone door was closed again.

Liu Chen and Ye Bieqiu walked out of the secret passage, stepped on the garden path, left the garden, and walked towards the Remnant Cloud Pavilion.

Suddenly, behind a plane tree next to the stone gate, a man in black walked out, and the man in black smiled coldly.

"-Hehe, Old Ghost Liu is really well hidden, thanks to Ye Bieqiu, otherwise Lao Tzu wouldn't be able to find it for another hundred years. ”

After saying that, the man in black slowly retreated behind the plane tree, and disappeared.

Ye Beiqiu always thought that only virtuous women would cook, because a woman with a spicy personality like Miss Liu didn't have to serve her parents, let alone her husband, but there were a lot of people behind her who were waiting for her, so there was no need to learn to cook.

Ye Beiqiu was wrong, because when he just walked into the pavilion, he saw a table full of delicacies on the stone table, and Liu Liting and Rui'er were standing respectfully at the table.

——Osmanthus lotus, fried bamboo shoots, Dongpo meat, steamed anchovies, spicy chicken, snail lion in front of the Ming Dynasty, sweet and sour carp, Longjing shrimp, sweet and sour pork ribs, rock sugar soft-shelled turtle, pot-roasted river eel......

In addition to these, there was also a white jade wine jug on the table, two white jade cups, two pairs of sandalwood chopsticks, and two small bowls that could barely fit on the crowded stone table.

"Daddy, Ye Shaoxia, you are finally back, come on, sit down. ”

Liu Liting smiled and pulled Ye Beiqiu to sit on the stone bench and poured a glass of fragrant wine in the wine jug.

Ye Beiqiu was a little at a loss, and said with a wry smile: "These ...... You did it?"

"Of course, there are so many dishes, who else can make them but me. ”

Liu Liting touched Rui'er lightly and said, "You say, isn't it?"

"Oh, oh, yes, yes, it's all done by Miss. ”

Rui'er said as she tucked her hands into her sleeves and put them behind her back.

"Ahem, you go down first, the old man wants to drink with Qiu Xian, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return. ”

Liu Chen coughed twice and said.

Rui'er bowed and said, "Yes, master." ”

Liu Liting smiled charmingly, even her eyes smiled, and said, "Okay, you drink first, don't get drunk and don't return, and then ask me to come back and clean up after drinking." ”

Liu Chen nodded and did not speak.

Liu Liting had already smiled and left the Remnant Cloud Pavilion.

Liu Chen raised the full wine glass and said, "Qiu Xian, please." ”

Ye Bieqiu also raised the wine glass in front of the table and said, "Please." ”

After speaking, both of them drank the wine in their cups.

"Master Liu, I can't see that Ling Yan still has this ...... Such a good craft. ”

Ye Beiqiu glanced at the delicacies on the table and said.

Liu Chen sneered and said, "She doesn't even know how to omelette at all, so how can she make this table of dishes." ”

Ye Beiqiu also smiled, did not speak, picked up the wine jug and poured the two wine glasses full.

Half an hour later, both of them were almost full, and they had been drinking, but there were still a lot of dishes left on the table.

Ye Bieqiu's amount of alcohol is not too good, because he is not a drunkard like Zhang Liuyu, and unlike Zhang Liuyu, he has to have wine at every meal, and if he doesn't have one, he can't even eat.

"-Who?"

Behind the willow bushes next to the Remnant Cloud Pavilion, there was a sudden sound.

Ye Biqiu had already thrown a fish bone.

"Don't, don't, it's me. ”

The steward came out from behind the tree in a panic and said.

The fish bone did not stab the heavenly steward, this is not because Ye Beiqiu's technique of throwing the hidden weapon is not good, but when it has not been confirmed whether the opponent should be killed, Ye Beiqiu will not easily hurt people, let alone kill easily.

Liu Chen's face was gloomy, and he said sharply, "Why are you here?"

"I ....... ”

The steward of heaven was speechless.

Liu Chen's tone became heavier, and he said, "I'll ask again one last time, do you say it or not?"

"I said, I said, Madame asked me to come, let me eavesdrop on you, and see what you are talking about. ”

The steward of heaven was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Liu Chen sighed and said, "You go down!"

The steward bowed and said, "Yes, sir." ”

After speaking, the steward slowly retreated into the bushes and slowly walked away.

Ye Bieqiu suddenly remembered that when he entered Chunlei Villa for the first time, he saw Liu Chen's wife, crying alone in the bamboo house, and Liu Chen's wife said that Liu Chen killed a thousand knives and suffered a thousand knives.

Could it be that there are some secrets between the two of them that no one else knows, or are they just ordinary husband and wife quarreling and disagreeing?

Or, Liu Chen is not a good person, let alone Ye Beiqiu thinks, is he a legendary chivalrous swordsman?

Ye Bieqiu said: "Does Master Liu really believe what he said?"

"Believe. ”

"But I always felt that something was wrong with him. ”

"Qiu Xian can rest assured, Steward Tian and I have not been a day or two, I believe in his person. ”

Ye Beiqiu looked at the figure of the heavenly steward leaving, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly turned his head and drank the wine in the wine glass.

"Regarding Ling Yan, I still have one more thing I want to ask Master Liu. ”

"Okay, but it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"Has Master Liu ever invited someone from the East China Sea Kingdom to teach him martial arts?"

Liu Chen was stunned and said, "No, why did Qiu Xian say this?"

"Boss, please look!"

Ye Beiqiu took out a green jade dart from his arms, put it on the stone table, and said, "Can Master Liu recognize this?"

It turned out that when Ye Bieqiu fought Liu Liting that night, she already felt a little strange and secretly hid a dart of hers.

Liu Chen said movingly: "This is ...... A special dart for spies in the East China Sea?"

"Yes, do you know where I got this dart?"

"In my daughter's hand?"

"Not bad!"

Liu Chen said: "So, you mean to say that there are people from the East China Sea Kingdom in the Spring Thunder Villa, and they are still secretly teaching my daughter martial arts?"

Ye Beiqiu nodded and said, "Yes, teaching martial arts is only secondary, and I am even more afraid that Ling Yan will be used." ”

Liu Chen suddenly turned his gaze in the direction where the Heavenly Steward had left, and did not speak, but his expression had become very cold.

Ye Bieqiu once again felt Liu Chen's compelling sword aura in the stone room.
