After Peach Blossom finished speaking, she entered the room, leaving only Ye Shiyu and Liang Siyi, who had been thinking a little, in the courtyard.

..................

Early the next morning, after Ye Shiyu finished practicing, he ate early, and then walked out of Luoyang Ju and went to Baihu Street in Luoyang City.

The Baihu Street in Luoyang City is different from the bustling Qinglong Street, but it is slightly bleak.

Ye Shiyu walked to a store with a half-hidden door and gently pushed the door open. There was only an old man reading a book and a handyman snoring on the table.

"Wow. Ye Shiyu knocked on the table.

The handyman raised his head, rubbed his confused eyes, and asked impatiently, "What do you want?"

"Give me a map of Luoyang from 20 years ago. Ye Shiyu said.

When the old man who was reading heard this, he glanced at Ye Shiyu, then withdrew his gaze and continued to read.

"Twenty years ago, do you really want a map?" asked the handyman.

Ye Shiyu nodded, and he walked all over the grocery stores on Qinglong Street, and there was no map of Luoyang twenty years ago, and he only found out later that this time-honored brand on Baihu Street might only have it.

The handyman was confirmed, and as if he was muttering something, he took out the maps from the shelves.

Ye Shiyu held the sword in one hand and carried it behind him with the other. The old man who was reading put away the books, stood up and walked towards Ye Shiyu.

Ye Shiyu saw the old man coming, and his expression was not arrogant, but he nodded slightly.

"Why do young men care so much about twenty-year-old maps?" asked the old man as he walked over to the table, put the book down, and then asked.

Ye Shiyu replied: "I have a hobby, that's why I want to collect." ”

After listening to this, the old man stroked his beard, nodded and said, "It's rare." ”

"I found it, and I promised three dollars. After the old man finished speaking, the handyman put a simple scroll in front of Ye Shiyu.

Ye Shiyu took out three pieces of loose silver and put them on the table, then picked up the scroll and walked out of the door.

When Ye Shiyu walked to the door, a young Confucian student walked into the door, wearing a black Confucian hat and a white gold silk Confucian robe. After he saw Ye Shiyu come out, he stopped, turned sideways, and let Ye Shiyu go first.

Ye Shiyu hugged his fists to express his gratitude, and then left.

"Oh, it's Nakatsune. The old man glanced at the Confucian who came in from outside the door and said lightly.

Ji Zhongchang saluted the old man and said, "Zhong Chang has seen Uncle Lu. ”

"Ah Shan, go make a pot of tea. The old man said to Ah Shan, a handyman on the side.

Ahsan stretched and walked into the inner hall. And Lu Wei and Ji Zhongchang sat down on the side, and Lu Wei said, "Why are you interested in coming to see me, a bad old man, today?"

"Uncle Tai laughed, but the disciple came today, and there is indeed something wrong. ”

"Don't talk about it, let's talk about it, what's the matter?" Lu Wei took the tea brought by Ahsan and blew a breath of hot air.

Ji Zhongchang was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "...... The Heavenly Demon Sect has reappeared. ”

After Lu Wei heard this, his eyes lit up, and the tea in the cup he held in his hand kept churning.

..................

After Ye Shiyu returned to Luoyang Ju, he returned to his room and slowly spread out the scroll.

took out the map given by Ye Cheng from his clothes, Ye Shiyu compared the two one by one, from the Sifang Divine Beast Street to the suburban mountains, and finally determined where the place drawn on the map was.

Ye Shiyu used a brush to circle a place, and the latest Luoyang map he bought before opening it also used a brush to circle the place.

"Shuiyun Villa?" Ye Shiyu looked at the four small characters on the map and couldn't help but ponder.

"Wow!"

"Who?"

There were two knocks outside the door, and Ye Shiyu put the map into his clothes.

Liang Siyi's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Ye, it's time to eat!"

After Ye Shiyu rolled up the two maps of Luoyang, he stood up and opened the door, and saw Peach Blossom and Liang Siyi standing outside the door.

The three of them came to the courtyard, where the food had been laid out on the stone table, and the three of them sat down.

Liang Siyi took a bite of the braised pork in front of him, savored it, and then said to Ye Shiyu: "This dish is not bad, but it is not good enough compared to what you have made." ”

Ye Shiyu smiled and didn't say anything, but buried himself in eating, but he seemed slightly absent-minded.

After being full of wine and food, the subordinates of Luoyangju took down the dishes and chopsticks, and Peach Blossom looked at the contemplative Ye Shiyu and asked, "What do you think again?"

Ye Shiyu shook his head and asked rhetorically, "When will you start the competition?"

"Ten days later, what's wrong?"

"Ten days from now? Then you have to adjust to your condition during this time, I have some things to deal with during this time, and I will watch you play after I deal with it." ”

At this time, Liang Siyi asked, "You want to go out?"

"Well, go fix something. Ye Shiyu stood up, turned around and walked back to the room.

Ye Shiyu left, leaving only the two daughters who looked at each other.

..................

Thirty miles north of the north gate of Luoyang City, there is a manor, and the plaque of the manor gate is written in four gilded characters: Shuiyun Villa.

Ye Shiyu walked through a bamboo forest and followed the map to the outside of Shuiyun Villa, but saw a large number of people from the rivers and lakes crowded outside the gate of Shuiyun Villa.

Ye Shiyu walked in and took a look, only to know that Shuiyun Villa was recruiting guards from the mansion, and the remuneration was expensive, and these people in front of him were all coming for this reward.

At this time, the noisy crowd in front of him quieted down, Ye Shiyu looked at it, and several guards walked out surrounded by a cynical young man, and there was a person next to the young man, who was Ji Zhongchang whom Ye Shiyu saw in the morning.

The young man stood at the door, coughed twice, and said: "Everyone, I am Chi Fengye, the owner of Shuiyun Villa, I know the purpose of your visit today, but we only recruit one guard in Shuiyun Villa, and we don't want more, so please decide for yourself who can stay, Zhong Chang." ”

"Childe. Ji Zhongchang arched his hand to Chi Fengye and said respectfully.

"You watch here, just tell me the results later, by the way, I will give the friends who come to participate twenty taels of travel fees per person, and you can't run for nothing, cough cough!" Qi Fengye coughed twice after speaking, as if he was sick.

After Qi Fengye finished explaining the matter, he walked into the village, Ji Zhongchang looked at the people in the rivers and lakes below, glanced at it, saw Ye Shiyu, gestured to Ye Shiyu, and then said: "Everyone, the requirements for our Shuiyun Villa to recruit guards are very simple, and the strongest ones stay." ”

"So how do you tell who's the strongest?"

"That's it, what a comparison?" shouted the crowd.

And Ji Zhongchang pressed his hands into the void, and a sense of oppression came from himself, showing his superior cultivation, making everyone shut up.

After Ji Zhong saw everyone quiet, he said: "When the elimination system is implemented, everyone will fight, and the last person will become the guard of my Shuiyun Villa." ”
