"Ye Gongzi is really good at martial arts. A burly man came out of the shadow of the alleyway and said with applause.

"He Xiaowei won the award. Ye Xiao untied the black mask, put the sword into the sheath with his backhand, turned to look over, frowned and asked: "Liu Lao Er is not doing well, he lost the baby, what should I do now, are we going to the grave in person?"

He Shumeng shook his head: "There were many dead and injured in this tomb robbery, and the matter can no longer be hidden, so it must be reported to the government, and when the time comes, there will be a letter on the paper, and most of them will ask the spirit official to come out of the mountain." ”

"Then didn't I waste my efforts?" Ye Xiao snorted angrily, turned around and kicked Liu Er's corpse several times.

He Shumeng looked indifferently, and after a while, Ye Xiao relieved his breath and hesitated: "Since Captain He is an official soldier, can't he think of a way?"

He Shumeng apologized: "The defenders and the yamen are two parts, they do not interfere with each other, and they can't do anything about their humble duties. ”

"This ......" Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "How about we go down to the tomb to get the treasure before the spirit official comes?"

"There is an eagle demon entrenched in the ancient tomb, although Ye Gongzi has superb swordsmanship, but after all, he has never fought a monster, in case he misses and is injured, how can he explain to that adult?"

Ye Xiao glared at him and said unhappily: "Brother He despises Ye, to be honest, I can't trust you." ”

"Hahaha!" He Shu laughed loudly, and then his tone was grim: "Please rest assured that Ye Gongzi will work with you and share dreams, and will never harm you." ”

Ye Xiao lowered his gaze, restrained his hostility, and muttered, "Is that an adult......"

Time goes back to half a month ago, just at the end of spring, the flying poplars fell all over the path, the rain washed the tiles in the courtyard, and there was a sound of wooden handover in the backyard of the Ye family.

"Toto, Toto!"

Two wooden swords grappled in the air, striking frequently, and the brown shadows were blurred. There were two martial artists in the field, one was Ye Xiao, and the other was a sparring partner invited by his family.

The two fought faster and faster, Ye Xiao's routines were endless, and his tricks were unanimous, and the sparring man was already so tired that his arms were trembling, barely blocking the attack, but he lost sight of one or the other, and was soon hit in the chest by the wooden sword and defeated.

"The young man is mighty, and the villain admits defeat. The man smiled, reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and his back was wet.

"Alas-" Ye Xiao put away his sword and sighed, dressed neatly, as if he had just finished a game, and said with a smile: "It's still the two masters of Su Wangfu who are powerful, but it's a pity that they left and returned to China last year, and it is difficult to find opponents in Liucheng." ”

"Childe's martial arts are improving, according to the villain, you should go to Song Jing to apply for a spiritual officer and show your ambitions. The sparring man complimented, with a humble attitude.

"Huh. Ye Xiao grinned, waved his hand and said, "It's hard work today, go down and get the silver." ”

"Thank you, Childe!" The sparring man hurriedly clenched his fists and ran away, his face full of joy.

Ye Xiao looked at his back and said in her heart: "I originally wanted to go to Song Jing to participate in the assessment, but the family is thriving and needs a backbone urgently, so I can't take care of it alone, so I have to leave me to help." In order to compensate, my father specially invited two masters from King Su's Mansion to teach me swordsmanship, how can I be willful. ”

He was sighing with emotion, and a maid walked out from behind the courtyard gate, stepped forward and saluted: "Hello young man, the master wants you to go to the hall to meet guests." ”

"Oh, what guest, a rich businessman from other provinces?" Ye Xiaoqi asked.

The maid thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be, that person is young, well-dressed, and wears a sword with him, more like a prince in the capital." ”

"Swordsman?" Ye Xiao instantly became interested and hurriedly said, "Let's go and take a look." ”

The two walked through the courtyard gate, went around the corridor, and then went to the living room, and at the first glance, they saw a man in white sitting behind the desk, drinking tea with the master.

"Daddy. Ye Xiao said, looking at the strange visitor.

When the man in white heard the movement, he turned his head to look at it, revealing a handsome face, and stood up with a smile and said: "In Xiamoli, come to the north, I have the honor to meet the son of the Ye family today, and he is really talented." ”

The maid looked at him secretly, only to feel that he spoke humbly, spoke kindly, and looked extremely handsome, and couldn't help but be secretly moved, and her face was flushed with shame.

The man in white looked kind, and he was leaning against a silver-sheathed sword next to the rattan chair. Ye Xiao loves swordsmanship, and immediately felt good, and said with a smile: "I've seen Mo Gongzi." ”

He paused and added: "Ye's single name is the word 'Xiao' in Xiaoxiang Night Rain. ”

"Good name. Mo Li nodded, and when he was seated, he sat down with his waist straight.

The maid immediately poured tea for the young master, Ye Xiao took the cup, and glanced at a bronze mirror on the desk, which was very familiar, the mirror was facing down, and the back was tattooed with the pattern of a nine-headed strange bird, and it looked like an antiquity.

Mo Li explained: "When I visited Guizhuang today, I just wanted to buy this thing, and by the way, I asked where it came from. ”

Ye Xiao sighed, his family's assets are solid, and he can be regarded as the richest man in Liucheng, so many villagers robbed tombs and sold them to the mansion in exchange for money. The Ye family bought it on a large scale and then sold it to the gentry in various places to make a profit.

Because there are many things, Ye Xiao only remembered that it was his own goods, so he pretended to speak: "This treasure is not easy to come by, and the price is ......."

"One thousand taels. Mo Li took out a silver ticket and slapped it lightly on the table, looking leisurely.

"One thousand taels!" the maid couldn't hold back her scream, Master Ye and Ye Xiao glared at each other, so frightened that she shrank her neck and retreated, silent.

"I think that's enough. Mo Li smiled.

Master Ye coughed, in order to cover up his gaffe, he originally planned to sell it for about a hundred taels, but now it completely exceeded expectations, and he immediately agreed.

Mo Li put away the ancient mirror and said, "As for the way you came—could you please tell me?"

"Qingping Mountain. Ye Xiao was concise, asked the maid to take a pen and paper, drew a map and handed it to him, explaining the direction.

Mo Li thanked him and was about to say goodbye, when Master Ye shouted: "Son, stay here, I will ask my subordinates to prepare a wine banquet, and I will have a good drink in this mansion tonight." ”

"It's hard to resist the hospitality, and it's bothered. Mo Li arched his hand.

......

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, it was evening, seeing that the wine was drunk to the fullest, and the banquet was about to disperse, Ye Xiao called out Mo Li. The two walked outside the door and were blown by the cold wind, but they felt refreshed, Ye Xiao asked, "Is Mo Gongzi also proficient in swordsmanship?"

Mo Li glanced at the long sword at his waist, raised his head and said, "I don't dare to pretend to be good at it, I'm just taking the time to practice the sword and strengthen my body." ”

Ye Xiao pressed the idea of the competition, looked at the waning moon in the sky, and was speechless. Mo Li stopped and stood still, and suddenly asked, "Ye Gongzi's face is sad, is there any pain?"

"Hey-" Ye Xiao sighed and said lonely: "Life is short, and it will be buried in the loess in a hundred years, whenever I think of it, I feel that life is boring." ”

Mo Li frowned and asked, "Young Master Ye?"

"I wish to live forever and be free from the cycle of worldly reincarnation. He spoke slowly, and turned to look at the messy banquet in the room, and his expression was gloomy.

"Haha, Ye Gongzi is not a layman. Mo Li laughed twice, stroked his hand and said: "In Xia Cheng Xie Ye Mansion hospitality, since the son is unwilling to be ordinary, then tomorrow at noon, and go to the east of the city Yue Peng Inn to gather, Mo has another opportunity to give." ”

After that, the figure flashed, as if it flew out like a shock, turned into a white light, jumped over the pavilions, and disappeared without a trace.

"You are a monk!" Ye Xiao said in surprise, her face was shocked, she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, a flame ignited in her heart, and she returned to the house excitedly.

At night, the showers came suddenly, the flowers were scattered, the night passed, the dawn illuminated the mansion, Ye Xiao had already woken up, and the servants were cleaning the pavilion and corridor outside the window. He remembered the events of last night, like a dream, and it took him a long time to be sure. After washing and cleaning, after breakfast, go to the school for morning exercise.

Ye Xiao sent away the sparring partner and played a few sets of swordsmanship alone, because of the encounter last night, he soon lost interest and abandoned the sword to rest. After staying up until noon, I called the family to prepare the carriage, and went out impatiently to go to the appointment, feeling anxious all the way.

Rushed to the Yuepeng Inn, there was a young man squatting at the door, looking at the passers-by sneakily, and when he saw Ye Xiao getting out of the car, he said vigilantly: "This son, the store has been closed, and it will have to change hands in a few days. ”

Ye Xiao was stunned on the spot, and after a while, he said angrily: "It turns out that Mo Li is a liar!" After speaking, he turned around to leave.

When Xiao Er heard Mo Li's name, his expression changed in shock, and he hurriedly shouted, "Wait, do you know Mr. Mo?"

Ye Xiao stayed behind when she heard this, and her face was puzzled. The little second looked left and right, and waited for passers-by to go away, and then whispered: "Don't blame the son, Mr. Mo is preaching in the lobby, and he is afraid that the leisure staff will disturb him, so he specially let me go to the door to let the wind go." Since you know him, please come in and listen. ”

"What do you mean?" Ye Xiao furrowed her brows and looked at the closed door of the inn, full of suspicion.

Xiao Er pushed open the two-foot crack in the door, turned sideways and said, "Please let Childe in." ”

Ye Xiao was silent for a while, glanced at the long sword at his waist, and finally let go of his worries and leaned into the inn. The driver also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xiao Er: "This big brother, Mr. Mo shouldn't have invited you, right?"

Jia Ding wondered, "What, you look down on the Ye family's maids?"

"No, no. Xiao Er shook his head again and again and explained: "Mr. Mo has explained that except for the distinguished guests he invited, no matter how high or low, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter. ”

"What the hell. The family glared at him twice, and had to go back to the car to rest.

Besides, Ye Xiao entered the house, and when he looked around, there were more than a dozen men and women sitting scattered in the lobby, all of whom were well-known figures in Liucheng, and several of them were business partners of the Ye family.

And Mo Li was standing at the head of the hall, dressed in white, bathed in the eyes of everyone, and said with a smile: "It's an honor, or unbelievable, to know you! ”

Infected by his smile, everyone boasted yes and applauded. Mo Li opened his arms, pressed his hand to signal quietness, and said: "Presumably, everyone has heard of the name of the spirit officials, can you know why they can be high above and overlook all beings?"

A man interjected, "Because they can gather aura and are talented." ”

"No!" Mo Li interrupted loudly, stomping his feet and scolding, "It's just because they are greedy and occupy the dragon veins and don't let us cultivate, so as to maintain their rule!"

"Why...... Why can they be high on the peak of the gods and live with heaven and earth, while we have worked hard all our lives, but in the end we will rot into yellow dust and dry bones?" Mo Li walked towards the crowd and said in a tone full of grief and indignation: "Dare to ask you, are we born stupid and inferior to them?"

A man was stunned, and then shouted angrily: "Of course Lao Tzu is no worse than them, what the spiritual officer can do, I can also do!"

"Good. Mo Li smiled, his gaze swept over everyone, "It's not a secret, I used to feel sorry for myself, until I met a famous teacher, and I was enlightened by his point, and I understood the mystery, and now——"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a loud sound, and the sword at his waist came out of its sheath, leaping high and rounding the roof, shining brightly.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, even calling the immortal master, looking at the flying sword and being dazzled, with a face full of worship.

Mo Li said: "No, I'm not an immortal like you. As long as you are willing to work hard, everyone present can condense the Inner Dan, reshape the physical body, and live forever from now on, stepping on the sword and free!"
