Tongfu Inn, Meng Ran's room was filled with a strong smell of herbs, even if a furnace of mellow white sandalwood could not hide it.

Meng Ran lay on the bed with a pale face, his eyes slightly open, and let Geng Huyuan feed him medicine.

Fan Wuji and the others standing on the side were all shocked.

Meng Ran just went to Jijia Wuyuan to look for opportunities, how could he come back with a serious injury?

Geng Huyuan poured all the bowls of soup and medicine into Meng Ran's mouth, casually handed the medicine bowl to Fan Wuji, who was standing behind him, and reprimanded angrily: "Let's go back to sleep, it's just a little bit of injury, just take a rest." ”

Fan Wuji, who had a straight temperament, smacked his tongue and said, "Big brother, is this still a minor injury?" Meng Ran almost passed. What did you encounter in the Ji Family's Wuyuan? Could it be that the Ji Family's ancestor did it?"

Geng Huyuan glared at Fan Wuji and scolded: "Didn't the ancestor of the Ji family be defeated by that Earth Immortal Realm master with a sword? Even if he doesn't die, he is still seriously injured and has not recovered, he can't recuperate at home, why bother us?"

Fan Wuji glanced at Meng Ran, who had not yet come back to his senses, and said, "Big brother, look at Meng Ran, you have been in a trance since you woke up, you are not afraid of ......"

Speaking of the second half of the sentence, Fan Wuji pointed to his head.

Geng Huyuan knew that Meng Ran was thinking about what he had learned from Ji Jia Wuyuan, but it was inconvenient to explain, so he had to scold him arrogantly: "It's about your, I think your brain is not good, hurry up, I have to go to see the excitement of Ji Jia tomorrow, don't get up." ”

Speaking of watching tomorrow's excitement, several people's minds immediately became a little lively, and they said goodbye to Geng Huyuan one after another, and then went back to their rooms.

When there were only two people left in the house, Geng Huyuan looked at Meng Ran, who was in a daze, and persuaded softly: "Meng Ran, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, what you need to do now is to rest seriously, not to spend enough energy." ”

Meng Ran, who was distracted, slowly came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and slowly closed his eyes.

After a while, the figure on the bed was already making a long and steady breathing sound.

Geng Huyuan stared at the sleeping Meng Ran for a while, and then floated out after opening the window.

On the roof of the Tongfu Inn, Geng Huyuan looked at the stars in the sky and sighed involuntarily.

"Why do you sigh?"

There was a sudden greeting from behind Geng Huyuan.

He looked back and saw that the person who spoke was the green-shirted swordsman who had made a bet with Meng Ran before.

Geng Huyuan smiled and said, "My friend is so elegant, staying on the roof every day is really a rare freedom." ”

The green-shirted swordsman smiled freely, took the initiative to say his name, and said, "In Xia Li Baiyi, I don't know my friend's surname?"

"The surname is Geng, as for the name, don't mention it. Geng Huyuan replied lightly.

Li Baiyi looked at Geng Huyuan with interest and asked, "What did Meng Xiaozi realize in Jijia Wuyuan?"

Geng Huyuan didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I think I realized a few wisps of sword intent. ”

Li Baiyi nodded slightly, unabashedly his praise for Meng Ran, and boasted: "Meng Xiaozi is the first young man who can find the real Jijia Wuyuan as soon as he enters the Jijia Wuyuan, and he is also the second person in recent decades to understand the secrets and return with his whole body. ”

Just a few simple sentences reveal the danger in it.

But this is also a fact, otherwise, how could Meng Ran see those white bones in front of the stone gate, they are all innocent souls who only have wisdom and intelligence, but have no luck.

Geng Huyuan seemed to think of something, and asked, "Brother Li is the first person to understand the secret in recent decades?"

Li Baiyi said with a flat expression: "Yes, but in my opinion, the Ji family's organ formation is the top grade, and as for the true meaning of the sword technique hidden in it, it is only middle and upper." ”

When Geng Huyuan heard these undisguised words, he only felt as if he had missed a detail, but he couldn't remember it, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly thought of the name of the green-shirted swordsman.

Li Baiyi.

"What? Are you Li Baiyi?"

Geng Huyuan looked at the poor swordsman in front of him with a surprised expression.

Li Baiyi still had that plain expression, and said, "It's down." ”

Geng Huyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Then Brother Li is the master of the Earth Immortal Realm who defeated the ancestor of the Ji family with one sword?"

"When you say that, it seems like it's me. ”

Li Baiyi's face was colorless, as if he had defeated the first master of Tongli Ancient Town with a sword, but it was as ordinary and plain as drinking water.

Geng Huyuan suddenly thought of a question, and asked softly: "Why did the senior make a bet with Meng Ran, and why did he take the initiative to lose to him?"

"Take the initiative to lose to Meng Xiaozi? Li Baiyi shook his head and said: "I didn't take him in my eyes at the time, I just felt that his knife skills were sparse and ordinary, but I didn't expect him to give me a surprise, so I thought about giving him a chance, after all, being able to meet in the vast sea of people is also a big fate." ”

"I see. After Geng Huyuan understood the joints, he also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if he was really targeted by a master of the Earth Immortal Realm, it would be worse than death.

......

Jijia Mourning Hall.

After sending off her seriously injured ancestor, Ji Furong went straight back to the mourning hall and continued to burn paper for her father's filial piety, staying from morning to night.

During this period, Mrs. Ji persuaded her several times, but Ji Furong did not get up and go back to the room to rest as she said, and used an almost masochistic method to distract the pain in her heart.

I don't know when, the ancestor of the Ji family, who changed into a linen dress again, came to the mourning hall, and he gently woke up Ji Furong, who was out of her mind.

"Little Furong, come with me to Wuyuan. ”

Ji Furong looked up at her ancestor and asked, "Ancestor, are you going now?" didn't that senior say that you should be fully prepared?"

Ji Mingze smiled proudly and said, "My realm at this time is not much different from the realm of my ancestor back then, even if I can't find out the Ji family's family heirloom mastery, it is enough to protect myself." ”

Ji Furong hummed lightly and said, "Please wait a moment, Ancestor, I'll go change my clothes." ”

Ji Mingze did not agree to Ji Furong, and said: "Let's go, time waits for no one, and the secrets of our Ji family still have to be in the hands of our own people." ”

In the following time, an old man and a young man slowly walked out of the Ji family's mansion and walked in the direction of Wuyuan.

When he was in a hurry, Ji Mingze asked softly: "Little Furong, do you have a young man with a heart?"

Ji Furong didn't know what her ancestor meant, shook her head, and said, "No, and I don't want to get married." ”

Ji Mingze smiled and said, "How can a woman not marry. As soon as the morning dawns, the competition and son-in-law that your father arranged before will begin, and at that time, as long as there is a suitable young handsome, you will have to think about it. ”

Ji Furong's tone was quite aggrieved, and said: "Since the ancestor has already been out of the customs, why does our family need to hold a martial arts competition to recruit sons-in-law? As long as you are there, who dares not to take the Ji family in their eyes." ”

Ji Mingze smiled and patiently explained: "But I will always grow old and die one day, if it is at that time, the Ji family will be a little daughter-in-law without a coat, trampled on, and even worse, it will only be overturned in the blink of an eye."

Don't talk about it, just talk about the invincible sword sect that is famous and powerful all over the world, and today, there is only one sect master left to guard the sect, if he dies, then the towering sword sect that was invincible in the past will never exist again.

So, in the final analysis, they all need talents and fresh blood to join, otherwise, it will be difficult for the dull Ji family to continue. ”

Ji Furong understands and understands all these truths, but the moment it happened to her, there was only a deep chill.

Now among the young and strong people of the Ji family, the only ones who can show their hands are the third masters of the Ji family, Ji Daozheng and Ji Furong, and the rest are either mediocre in talent, or their qualifications are stubborn, and it is difficult to become a big weapon.

If other women were used as one of the lottery names for the competition, I don't think there would be so many people participating in this event.

Ji Furong sighed faintly, hummed as if resigned, and said, "Even if there is an outstanding young handsome, I want to pick one I like, is this okay?"

Ji Mingze smiled and said: "There is no need, after all, it is your lifelong event, if it can enter your eyes, it will not be bad to think about that person." ”

Ji Furong smiled bitterly, and a figure that should not appear appeared in her mind, it was Meng Ran who was shouting 'come to war'.

The night breeze blew, and Ji Furong's cheeks were half red, like persimmons that had been baptized by cold dew.

Ji Mingze noticed Ji Furong's strange appearance, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the most outstanding junior in the clan today, and asked softly, "What's the matter?

Ji Furong hurriedly gathered her thoughts and retorted softly: "No, Furong was just thinking about the big battle in the morning. ”

When Ji Mingze heard this, he sighed and said: "There are nine heavens in the human fairy realm, and the gap between each heaven is not very big, but if you go to the earth fairy realm, each heaven is very different, and there is no battle to win across the border."

Unless a person with a low realm holds a divine weapon that is invincible in the world, such as the magic weapon left by the Sanqing Saint in the hands of the Taoist Sect, or the Heavenly Punishment of the Sword Sect, this is almost impossible.

Treasures have spirits, and they will not be allowed to be used by people with low skills, so ah, one's own realm is very important, which means that the cultivation talent determines a person's achievements. ”

After Ji Furong listened, she couldn't stop nodding her head and saying yes.

Ji Mingze suddenly asked: "Little Furong, I heard that you competed with a foreign boy and lost to him, that young man is really so powerful?"

Ji Furong said in a low voice: "His cultivation is similar to mine, but his sword skills are very powerful, and he has a magic weapon that sharpens iron like clay and blows hair and breaks hair, so I lost in his hands." ”

"Oh, is there really such a handsome person among the younger generation?" Ji Mingze laughed lightly and asked, "How does that person look like?"

Ji Furong thought of that very good-looking face, and said in a hateful tone: "It's a little white face, as for the character, it's very obedient, I'm afraid it's not easy to get along." ”

Ji Mingze said with a smile: "Young man, some tempers are normal, but I don't know if I can see him tomorrow." ”

At the end, Ji Mingze asked with a smile, "Little Furong, do you want to see that young man again?"
