"These turtle grandsons are all disciples of the Hengshan Sect?" Dou Changan glanced at the robed disciple who was doing evil in broad daylight, and asked calmly.

The shopkeeper of the tea house surnamed Song looked stunned, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, it is those dogs who were raised by a thousand knives." ”

Dou Chang'an Ruoxiao Xiao Wutong fell silent, his eyes returned to the dry wine bowl, and he was silent.

The young man sitting next to the middle-aged man held down Shen Di and wanted to draw his sword to make a complaint, but the shopkeeper stepped forward to stop him and said, "Little brother, don't mess around." ”

Bai Yun glanced sideways at Dou Changan, who was silent, and saw that he had no intention of doing the right thing for the sky.

On the street, the woman was pulled into disheveled clothes, revealing most of her white shoulders, and she couldn't cry out loud and desolate.

Bai Yun snorted coldly, and rushed out regardless of the obstruction.

A figure blocked the street, and a long sword of cloth buzzed.

"Is that your apprentice?" asked Shopkeeper Song with a look of hope in his eyes.

Dou Changan shook his head and replied.

"It's like you. Shopkeeper Song smiled heartily and added, "Young you." ”

Dou Changan swept the back of the young man, and then looked up at the mountain behind the town, which was like a sharp sword returning to its sheath, looming in the clouds and mist, and suddenly said: "What is the situation of the Hengshan faction?"

Shopkeeper Song clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, spilled half of the sake in the bowl, and sighed: "It's hard to say." ”

"Since Xuntu is in charge of the sect left, none of the elders in the Hengshan faction are not convinced, the head of the sect is also in turn, today you are in charge, tomorrow I will pull you down, the whole Hengshan faction into a pot of porridge, and then came a big devil dove to occupy the magpie's nest, the disobedient disciples and elders of the Hengshan faction were all killed, snatched the position of the master, leaving only the disciples who only listened to his call, these years in Hengshan City to do evil, let the minions forcibly tie the beautiful women in the city to the mountain, for the devil to be happy, the people in the city are afraid to be angry and dare not speak. Shopkeeper Song said indignantly.

"The government will let that devil do nothing and sit idly by?" Dou Changan asked with a retracted gaze.

"Knowingly, the Hengshan City is far away from the emperor, in the past, there was the Hengshan faction here to guard the peace, and the thieves naturally did not dare to come nonsense, but now the Hengshan faction has become the plaything in the palm of the devil, as long as a lot of silver is sent to the hand, do you still expect those maggots to be full of food and have nothing to do, and come up to eliminate harm for the people?"

There were screams on the street, and in a blink of an eye, there were long-robed disciples lying in pain and moaning.

"Girl, go quickly. Bai Yun turned back to the woman and said.

"Thank you Shaoxia for saving me. The woman broke free from her clutches and ran away chokingly.

"Who are you to dare to injure a disciple of my sect. A tall and thin disciple who had not participated in the confrontation from beginning to end scolded.

Bai Yun was silent, pointing his god at the tall and thin disciple, and approached step by step.

"Do you know who we are, we are disciples of the Hengshan Sect!" the tall and thin disciple sneered.

But the sword-wielding boy was not deterred by him, but gradually approached.

The tall and thin disciple was very inward-looking, his face was panicked, and his hand holding the iron sword trembled, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him turned out to be a hard stubble, and even the hat of the Hengshan faction couldn't stop him.

"If you still dare to come to the territory of the Hengshan Sect, once the Holy Sect gets angry, your life will be in jeopardy, I advise you to obediently tie your hands and arrest it, and follow us up the mountain to ask the Holy Sect for guilt! The tall and thin Hengshan sect disciple retreated step by step.

The young man sneered, turned into a sharp shadow, and pressed to the tall and thin disciple with lightning and flint, and slapped it neatly with one palm, and the tall and thin figure immediately flew out several feet.

The tall and thin disciple who led the crowd to do evil turned around several times on the ground, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he hurriedly picked up the iron sword that flew out of his hand, covered his face and said angrily: "Boy, you wait!"

With that, this group of high-flying robed disciples fled in a puff of smoke.

At the corner of the street, a rickety old man selling wooden ornaments approached and said with a worried face: "Young man, hurry up." ”

"Uncle, why?" Bai Yun was a little surprised, he was obviously eliminating harm for the people of Hengshan City, why did the old man let him leave quickly?

The old man looked around cautiously, lowered his voice and said, "Those beasts are not something you can afford to mess with. ”

With good words of persuasion, the old man hurried back to the corner of the street, cleaned up his stall, and left the street that might be stormy.

Bai Yun returned to the tea table with a blank face, only to hear Dou Changan say loudly: "Old Song, wrap some chicken tips and beef in kraft paper for me, and then a pot of sake, the portion is sufficient, don't cut corners." ”

"Okay, when have you seen the food made by my Song Ji Tea House when the portion is insufficient?" After a while, the shopkeeper Song wrapped up all the dishes that Dou Changan wanted.

Dou Changan, who had tied a bun of balls in his bun, took out a bag of silver from his arms, and said with an astringent smile: "Old Song, the wine money and interest owed over the years are all in it." ”

The shopkeeper surnamed Song smiled calmly and said, "You still remember." ”

"I don't like to owe people something. Dou Chang'an said: "Hengshan City is sluggish, messy, and difficult to do business, but after today, Hengshan City will still be the same Hengshan City, and the rest will be mixed with your broken tea house, maybe I will come back to you in another twenty years to ask for my share of silver." ”

"Waiting for you at any time. The shopkeeper Song was not hypocritical, and generously took the money bag and said.

Dou Changan picked up the wine jug in one hand, lifted two packs of kraft paper in the other, and said without looking back: "See you soon." ”

Shopkeeper Song bowed his hand, his heart swelled, and he muttered: "The peace of Hengshan City is entrusted to you." ”

The two of them left the tea house and walked towards the mountain that rose from the ground behind Hengshan City.

The undulating mountains and fog complement each other, but the sky above Hengshan City is inexplicably floating in the sky.

The two of them came to a valley full of ravines, and the layers of clouds and mist made it difficult to find the direction.

At one end of the valley, there is a simple lonely grave made of stones.

Dou Changan sat down cross-legged in front of the grave, opened the chicken tips and sauced beef brought from Hengshan City one by one to offer them to the grave, raised his wrist again, and gently poured the sake in the pot in front of the grave.

"Have you ever heard of the Hengshan faction?" Dou Changan suddenly asked.

Bai Yun replied truthfully: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Dou Changan just smiled, there were no waves and no ripples: "That's right, the back waves of the rivers and lakes push the front waves, and now this rivers and lakes are not the same rivers and lakes as before." ”

"Xuntu, you madman, how long has it been since you tasted wine? Come, have a drink!" Dou Changan, who was addicted to alcohol, didn't feel sorry for the sake in the pot at all, and only raised his glass after spilling it in front of the grave.

Dou Changan asked meaningfully, "Then have you heard of the number one sword demon in the world?"

Bai Yun nodded, and three words popped out between his teeth: "White Sword Hall." ”

Dou Changan pointed to the nameless stone tomb: "Once upon a time, the people in this tomb also wanted to be the first in the world. ”

Bai Yun was stunned for a moment, and saw that there was an indescribable gloom in Dou Changan's eyes, probably because he was in a trance when he thought of the old man, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Dou Changan put his hands into his sleeves, turned his head and glanced at Bai Yun, and said lightly: "Where is there any number one in the world, I think when I was still a Honghuang Sword Immortal, I had a fight with Jian Baitang, I overpowered him by half a move, and he won me by half a move, regardless of victory or defeat." ”

Bai Yun was speechless, his face was full of incredulity, and his mouth was wide enough to stuff his entire fist.

Dou Chang'an ignored Bai Yun's extremely surprised look, and regardless of Bai Yun's belief or not, he narrowed his gaze and said: "Twenty years ago, there were no five giants of the righteous path today, there were many large and small sects in the rivers and lakes, and a hundred flowers were vying for beauty, and the Hengshan faction was also one of them. ”

Dou Changan stretched out his hand: "Give me your wooden bead." ”

Without saying a word, Bai Yun took off the rosewood beads from his wrist and handed them to Dou Changan.

Dou Changan took the bead and put it on the grave: "Do you know why the Hengshan faction will not know anything later?"

Bai Yun stood behind the middle-aged man who tied his hair in a bun, his eyes spilled to the stone tomb and shook his head and said, "Why?"

"Because of what's inside this bead. Dou Changan said calmly.

Bai Yun was surprised: "Could it be that the decline of the Hengshan Sect is related to the Ice Soul?"

Dou Changan thought for a while and said, "It's not a direct relationship. ”

"Senior, you know the Hengshan Sect so well, could it be that you are also a disciple of the Hengshan Sect?" Bai Yun asked curiously.

Dou Changan's eyes were a little sluggish, his expression was wooden, and he said bitterly: "Half a dozen and half can really be counted as half, when I was younger than you, I was a disciple of the Hengshan faction for several years, at that time, the former head of the Hengshan faction had to accept me as an apprentice, I refused to live or die, you see this river and lake lights are red and green, full of flowers, why hang yourself on a tree? Later, the old master was not reluctant, saying that I would do whatever I liked, anyway, the door of the Hengshan faction will always be open for me, and I really can't stand the kindness of others, for fear of disappointing people's expectations, so I went down the mountain with my sword on my back, and this walk is more than 20 years. ”

As soon as the words fell, Dou Changan turned around and added: "It used to be half of it." ”

"And who is the owner of this stone tomb?" Bai Yun couldn't help but ask.

"The master of this stone tomb is the last head of the Hengshan faction. Dou Changan said calmly: "That is the old man I said I was going to sacrifice." ”

"Senior, you just said that the Hengshan Sect indirectly declined due to the Ice Soul, and this old man is the former head of the Hengshan Sect, could it be that he has an unclear relationship with the Ice Soul?" Bai Yun guessed.

Dou Changan, who was middle-aged and fat, shook his head and vetoed: "There is no direct relationship. ”

"What's the relationship?" Bai Yun asked with confusion.

Dou Changan got up and patted the dust off his robe, poured the last bit of sake in the jug on the grave, and said in a calm tone: " People go to high places, water flows to low places, especially people who practice martial arts, he is eager to pursue the ultimate of martial arts, but he is unwilling to take root step by step, eager to climb to the sky step by step, hard to pursue the whereabouts of the ice soul, want to use the power of the ice soul to ascend to the sky one step at a time, to be the first person in the world, how can he get nothing, and because of the desire to forge the heart to forcibly break through the realm, but if it is too rigid and easy to break, it will eventually lead to the meridians going against the flow and falling into the devil, and ending up depressed in this valley. ”

"After he died, the Hengshan faction was leaderless, factional disputes continued, everyone wanted to be the head of the sect, and the huge Hengshan faction was just like that. Dou Changan said with a solemn expression: "I heard that later Hengshan sent a demon to snatch the position of the head of the sect, and he robbed the minions of the yellow flower girl on the street, which is now the so-called disciple of the Hengshan faction, to put it bluntly, it is no different from the jackal and wild dog in sheep's clothing." ”

Bai Yun suddenly understood after hearing this.

"Xuntu, do you know what this thing is? Ice Soul! It's the Ice Soul you've been looking for all your life! Hurry up and take a few more looks, and you'll be returning it to someone later." Dou Changan's face showed a warm smile, and he muttered to himself at the stone tomb.

After a long time, Dou Changan slowly turned around, returned the rosewood pillar to its original owner, and said to the young man behind him: "Let's go kill a demon?"

Baiyun was confused and didn't know what to do.

"Do the right thing for heaven and remove harm for the people. After speaking, Dou Changan shook his sleeves and swept into the sky.
