Chapter III

Who is the old man in the white robe? The name of the person from the Empty Yang Gate is [Gao Tingyu]. Jianghu people are called "black and white impermanent symbionts", but their characteristics can be known from the entire facial hair, whether it is hair, eyebrows, beard... All of them are half white and half black, and when the old man in the white robe activates his divine sense, the entire white robe will turn black, and the 'Empty Yang Gate' logo behind him will change from black to white, from the old man in the white robe to the venerable in the black robe.

Under the black robe, a face with the same expression but different ages poked out, the eyebrows were still relatively dense like crazy weeds, but they no longer covered their eyes, and under the thick double eyelids were a pair of bright eyes, which also had a faint blue light. Gao Tingyu touched his empty chin, and it seemed that there was no need to confirm it anymore, the beautiful beard was long gone, so he had to put his hand on his chin and look at Wen Renxing opposite.

"Old man, you are taking great pains with your juniors, not to mention chasing and fighting, and you plan to fight for your life to recover an object, but in fact, you are avenging your disciples, right?" Wen Renxing said that he was very puzzled.

"Since ancient times, the king has been defeated, the old man is just to recover the objects, the Kongyang Gate items are all inherited, you take one today, and others will take one tomorrow, what do my disciples use?" the old man explained unhurriedly, his hand still did not leave his chin, as if the beard would never grow again after leaving.

On the side, Liu Cong was helpless to hide behind a tree, and finally watched a scene, how could the two still chat. While watching, I didn't forget to reach out and squeeze out the water from the soaked clothes.

Wen Renxing moved his feet sideways towards Gao Tingyu, and slowly pulled out the sword, the movement was so slow that it seemed that time had stood still, but he turned around and didn't see that it had gone a little slowly, and the sword was slowly unsheathed. Wen Renxing's eyes were half-closed, and the faint blue light appeared in his eyes again, and it still looked like two fireflies from a distance, but the fireflies were green light, and this was blue light.

Liu Cong was completely stupid, with big eyes and a slightly open mouth. There are really gods and ghosts in this world? How can the eyes still be used as lanterns? It's simply unheard of and unheard of.

"Old man, your divine sense is clear at a glance, do you know half of my divine sense?" After Wen Renxing finished speaking, he flew to the old man like thunder and lightning, the sword light flashed, and the surrounding bamboo was neatly cut into two ends by the light, Gao Tingyu lifted the sword in his hand to block a blow, and no one was seen in the bamboo forest, only to see the shadows of the two people in the sword light and sword shadow constantly flashing, and the surrounding bamboo forest was blown by the piercing knife wind, a good bamboo forest was cut high and low, and bamboo leaves and bamboo flew all over the sky.

"Hahaha! The old man is very happy to hear that Renxing can fight with you, show your true skills!" Gao Tingyu shouted loudly.

Wen Renxing smiled and said, "It's time for you to see, old man!" The blue fire in his eyes became vigorous, as if someone had added wood to the stove, and it burned more purely. Wen Renxing held the sword and swung it around, seeing the bottom air flow surging upward, with the Wenrenxing Sword as a radius of a circle, this range wrapped Wenrenxing.

Although Liu Cong's eyes are already wide open, but now he feels like he is almost congested, from his point of view, Wen Renxing is surrounded by black and white, as if there are only ink paintings, Wen Renxing is like a filter Every step he takes, the scenery around him is black and white ink paintings, and the place he walks through is still green, as if he has rendered the surrounding environment with an ominous atmosphere.

Wen Renxing approached the black-robed Gao Tingyu again, this time together with Gao Tingyu's surroundings turned black and white, but what was surprising was that moment, a very short moment, in the blink of an eye, Wen Renxing's sword cut through Gao Tingyu's robe, the black and white picture disappeared, the first reaction seemed to be the pain of the flesh, Gao Tingyu stabbed at the pain position, what happened at this moment? Gao Tingyu was injured first, and at the same time, he predicted the position of the person and stabbed him directly, as if he had cut the well rope and the bucket of water fell.

"Old man, is there something wrong?" Wen Renxing pulled away and looked at Gao Tingyu.

"It's true that the old man lost. The black robe turned into a white robe again, and the old man withdrew his sword from its scabbard. The old man and the beard reunited after a long absence, and the old man began to stroke his beard again. At that moment, the white-robed old man was stabbed and only reacted to the pain and felt the pain, but the white-robed old man still couldn't see the smelling star.

"The Silent Realm is my Divine Sense, and you should have guessed it, thinking that you can't hear or see the sound in this realm where the sword is the radius. I'll tell you as a gift in exchange for the sword, I can kill you with that blow!" Wen Renxing also withdrew the sword into the scabbard, leaving only an exhausted face covered with sweat. This day is indeed not easy for Wenrenxing, and he is generally exhausted after a whole day in the ring. Just when Wen Renxing wiped his sweat, there was a black mark on his chest, and when he tore open his clothes, he saw that there was a mark of the Empty Yang Gate!

"Hahaha! The sword is yours. The white-robed old man laughed loudly. As early as in the fight, the old man's muscle reaction had already injured Wen Renxing, and it was better for the two of them to take a step back than to fight to the death.

The bamboo forest was calm again, and the birds began to call again, collecting the fragments of bamboo branches on the ground and carrying them to build a nest in a distant tree, presumably this nest should be very strong.

The old man walked up to Liu Cong, patted Liu Cong on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, young man, the account hasn't been settled yet." ”

Liu Cong followed the old man back to the blacksmith shop, and Xiao Er was repairing the 'skylight' with a few men on the roof of the tavern. The old man put his hands behind his back as if he had a sudden inspiration and shouted to the guy on the roof: "Little Er! The old man thinks that this roof is going to be troublesome to replace, and it may not be very beautiful after repairing, so let's fill this hole with a square transparent glass vessel!"

The shopkeeper standing in front of the tavern also nodded, and then shouted to the two little two on the roof: "You guys measure the size, and Ming'er will run and lie in the porcelain kiln to build one!"

The old man in the white robe had thrown the deposit to the blacksmith shop before, which was actually very rich, and Father Liu hurriedly came out and said to the old man: "Old man, the silver taels you gave before are enough!"

The old man still didn't look back, looked at a few guys on the roof, and beckoned to Liu Cong: "Little guy, come here!"

Liu Cong, a monk like Zhanger, was a little confused, and walked to the old man. The old man looked at Liu Cong with heavy eyebrows, Liu Cong was also born with his father who had worked in this open-air blacksmith shop all the year round, and it could be seen from the calluses on his hands that he was a pair of hard-working hands, and his legs and feet could keep up with light skills at a young age; The old man took off the sword at his waist and asked Liu Cong: "Young man, do you want to enter my Kongyang Gate?"

"Old man! Old man, I'm willing to !!but... But why did you give it to me?" Liu never hesitated, but was a little worried.

"Because the old man met a happy person and a happy thing, this sword recalls the memory of the old man's youth, the old man was as young as you back then, and you are vigorous in your steps, this is talent; seeing that I have no weapons, I have to come over to return me from hundreds of miles and thousands of miles, this is integrity; we will hurt the innocent in a fight, but you don't run to the sidelines to watch, this is courage! Sincerity, wisdom, courtesy, righteousness, and faith, you account for more than half, and this is the reason why the old man gave you this sword!" The old man in the white robe rarely raised his eyebrows, revealing his kind eyes.

Father Liu of the blacksmith shop did not come out to stop him at this time, for his son, he was not an accessory of his life, but he was not fully prepared for when the child would leave him and go to a distant place.

"I want to go to the Kongyang Gate with you to practice!" Liu Cong's eyes were full of stars.

"Hahaha! That's not right! Have you asked your father and mother? Have you asked your grandfather and grandmother? People don't live because of themselves. The old man raised his head and looked again at the sky in the distance, the sun was setting, and the geese flew away in flocks into the distance, only the finches in the trees not far away stood leisurely in the branches, and perhaps their home was here.

"The old man lent you this sword, you need to practice day and night, you need to wield it in the wind and rain, and don't forget to practice the sword even in the cold winter. When we meet again, the sword will tell me if you are fit to enter this door. After the old man finished speaking, he thanked Father Liu, and then walked away like a light breeze, like clouds in the sky, I don't know when it appeared, and I don't know when I left.

"Cong'er, do you know what 'a sword in fifteen years' is?" Father Liu put down the hammer and looked at the sword in Liu Cong's hand.

"Fifteen years to forge a sword?" replied Liu Cong, looking at his father.

"Of course not, fifteen years of sword practice, fifteen years of wielding each sword is the result of fifteen years of power, this is called fifteen years of one sword!" Father Liu said as he gestured with a hammer.

"Dad, do you still know swordsmanship?" Liu Cong said half-believingly.

"You have been striking iron for many years, and you don't know what weapons, you kid has a lot to learn!" After Father Liu finished speaking, he continued to start striking iron.

Liu Cong's country, whose name is [Hou Shu], occupies the Bashu land and the Hanzhong area. First, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, occupied this place, seized Guanzhong, and then won the world, and then Liu Bei occupied the Shu land, forming a three-legged situation in the world. The land of Shu Han is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky. Since ancient times, if you have been divided for a long time, you will be united. Today, the two northern countries are [Northern Jin] and [Northern Zhou], and the two southern countries are [Southern Chu] and [Southern Tang].

The caged bird is chirping, this is a high-rise building, the red pillars of the pavilion and the jade railings are intertwined, the pavilion is hung with red and elegant lanterns, the lanterns are very elegant, the lamp bones are made of special jade, and the lampshade is made of fine cloth and satin. The tail of the roof of the temple is left for decoration, and then to the huge vermilion lacquer gate, which opens to a marble staircase, and the two handrails of the steps are a sculpture of a dragon, and the sculpture of the dragon is a dragon playing with pearls from top to bottom. returned to a small pavilion in the deep palace, and the two of them were teasing birds in the small pavilion. One person held the birdcage and said: "Aiqing looks at this bird, trapped in the cage and far away from knowing the vastness of the world. ”

"Your Majesty, this cage is the most comfortable and comfortable place for this bird. [Huang Chongtai] bowed down and said.

"No, the widow wants to let it go back and return to its hometown! Overlook the world and travel all over the land of China. After [Liu Fuzhao] finished speaking, he opened the birdcage, and the bird flew out of the birdcage, and seemed to fly over the palace and the huge palace gate with all its strength, and finally disappeared from sight as soon as it flew farther and farther.
