"Old man, this person is very important to my Shura Temple. Aren't you afraid of my Shura Palace's revenge if you force him to stay?" the flower demon threatened, looking at the old man with a wary expression.

"I live in the Valley of the Sword, and if you want to take revenge, I will be waiting for you at any time. The old man smiled indifferently, not caring about his threat at all.

"Sword Valley, are you the master of Sword Valley?" the flower demon looked frightened when he heard this, and his steps couldn't help but step back.

For the people in the rivers and lakes, Sword Valley is an extremely secret and terrifying existence, it is a hidden sect that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Legend has it that at the beginning of its establishment, the first generation of the head of Sword Valley offended an overlord at that time. The overlord sent nearly a thousand good hands into the valley, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and in the end, no one came out.

Moreover, in the past dynasties of Sword Valley, only one person was selected as a disciple in the vast sea of people, so many sects said that it was a one-person sect, but no one dared to despise it.

"I have taken a fancy to this person, whether you want it or not, I will decide on him. ”

The old man's tone was extremely peaceful, but every word seemed extremely domineering.

"You ......"

The flower demon wanted to be angry when he heard this, but when he thought about it, he suppressed his anger again. He was no match for the old man at all, so why bother putting himself in it.

"Okay, if you want him, give it to you! But you'd better remember that the Shura Hall is not easy to mess with, and I will tell the hall master the truth about today's events. ”

The kung fu on the flower demon's mouth did not fall behind, but his body was extremely sincere, and he disappeared without a trace as soon as he turned around after putting down Ye Chen.

"Child, you have been wronged. The old man came to Ye Chen's side and squatted down and looked at him kindly.

"You, do you know me?" Ye Chen became cautious when he heard this, for fear that he was another guy with the idea of fighting dragon scales.

"Your name is Ye Chen, right? My senior brother told me a flying pigeon message before, telling me to pay attention to the movements of the Shura Palace, and to save a young man who was targeted by the Shura Palace. ”

"Who is your senior brother?" Ye Chen raised his head and asked.

"Huangfu Qingyun ......," the old man said.

"Huangfu Qingyun, are you the old man's junior disciple?, but I heard him say that his sect has only one disciple, how can there be a junior disciple?" Ye Chen still did not let down his guard, and looked up to observe the change in the old man's expression.

"I am indeed his junior disciple, as for what you said that our sect only accepts one disciple, I will tell you later. I know that you have the secret of dragon scales, and I understand that you are wary of me, after all, it is the only thing you can save your life at the moment. I just want to ask you, do you want revenge? If you want to, follow me, and I'll take you to Sword Valley. ”

The old man was calm and stretched out his hand to Ye Chen. Ye Chen stared at him for a while, and finally put his hand on his.

The old man took Ye Chen back to the street, hired a carriage, and then took Ye Chen out of Wushuang City. Ye Chen wanted to say goodbye to the sister he had just recognized, but was stopped by the old man.

After swaying on the carriage for a while, Ye Chen fell asleep unconsciously. When he woke up again, he found that it was already dark, and he was not in the carriage, but lying on the body of an unknown animal.

"Old man, are you there?" Ye Chen whispered as he looked around at the darkness.

"Roaring ......"

The animal that was hunching Ye Chen heard Ye Chen's voice. There was a sudden roar, almost startling Ye Chen.

Listening to this roar, Ye Chen's heart was pounding, he had heard this sound before, and he had already guessed what it was. To test his suspicions, he had the courage to gently touch its back, but he shrank back as soon as he touched the fur. This is indeed a tiger.

After knowing that he was on the back of the tiger, Ye Chen was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and kept a posture. And the old man didn't respond to him, in the dark night when he couldn't see his five fingers, Ye Chen's heartbeat was extremely violent. He didn't want to get out of it all the time.

Just as Ye Chen mustered up the courage to get off the tiger's back, a hand suddenly held him behind his back.

"Don't move, this is my tiger, it won't hurt you. ”

"You're behind me? Why don't you say a word? I thought you fed me to a tiger?"

The old man's voice was like a tranquilizer, and his heart was pounding just now, but he calmed down after hearing his voice.

"Where is the Sword Valley you are talking about, and how long will it take?" Although Ye Chen couldn't see the old man's figure, he turned around out of politeness.

"It's already here, and it's going to be where I'm going to live right away. The old man said.

After more than half an hour, Ye Chen finally came to the residence that the old man said - a simple bamboo house.

After the tiger came to the bamboo house and put down Ye Chen, he turned around and went into the jungle. After the old man took charge of the lamp, Ye Chen saw everything in the bamboo house clearly.

Ye Chen originally thought that there must be a lot of hidden swords in the bamboo house, after all, this place was called Sword Valley, and the old man was so powerful. But the truth was beyond his expectations, not only did there not be a sharp sword in the bamboo house, but there were many Tibetan paintings, as well as many musical instruments, especially the guqin, which had as many as four pairs.

"Senior, didn't you say that this is Sword Valley, why don't you have a sword here?, but there are so many musical instruments?" Ye Chen looked around.

"There must be a lot of swords in Sword Valley?" the old man said with a smile.

"I don't have a sword here, and there is only one sword in the entire Sword Valley, on the top of the back mountain. ”

"A sword, what is it called Sword Valley if it's so shabby!" Ye Chen pouted, with a look of disgust.

"Although I only have one sword in Sword Valley, it is enough to be proud of the world's divine blades. When you see him one day, you will know. ”

The old man looked at Ye Chen with a smile, and he didn't get angry at his disrespect.

"You're wounded, it's late today, so rest here! ”

The old man turned around and walked out of the bamboo house, Ye Chen wanted to stop him and ask him to answer some questions for himself. But before he could speak, the old man had already disappeared into the jungle outside the bamboo house.

"You old man is quite weird! Why do you go outside in the middle of the night without sleeping?"

Ye Chen muttered a few words alone, then climbed onto the bed and lay down.

The next day, Ye Chen got up early, and after finding that the old man was not there, he climbed to the door. While waiting for the old man, he observed the surroundings of the bamboo house.

The bamboo hut is located in a forest surrounded by tall trees. There are bamboos all under the trees, and even the bamboo hut is surrounded by bamboo as tall as a bamboo house, and it is difficult to find this bamboo house if you don't look closely at it from a distance.

Ye Chen listened to the birdsong around him, and unconsciously began to doze off again, this was a habit he had developed when he was a beggar, and it was difficult to change it for a while.

"Why are you dozing off at the door?"

I don't know when, Ye Chen was suddenly awakened, and when he looked up, he looked at the old man looking at him with a smile, he was carrying a pheasant in his hand, and he was carrying a bow and arrow on his back.

"What are you ......" Ye Chen looked at the old man and his outfit, and was speechless for a while.

"I'm hunting, aren't you injured, how can you do it if you don't make up for it?" The old man looked at Ye Chen's embarrassed expression, lifted the pheasant and shook it in front of him.

"You do all this on weekdays, don't you practice martial arts?" Ye Chen stared at him and asked.

"No, I haven't practiced for more than a decade, and I've been walking around Sword Valley every day. When it's okay, go to the rivers and lakes for a walk. Let's see if we can meet a talented person and bring it back as a successor. ”

"What?"

Ye Chen's jaw almost dropped when he heard this, for him, as the head of the house, it should be the most bitter. In addition to managing the affairs of a faction, he must also practice martial arts frequently, so as to maintain his position in the rivers and lakes.

And what the old man did was not at all like what a head should be, but rather wanted to be a hunter who lived in the mountains and made a living by hunting.

The old man also saw a little bit of Ye Chen's thoughts, and said: "Don't look at me like that, this pheasant is for you, I don't eat a meal for ten days and a half on weekdays, and I rarely come to this bamboo house, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know when I would come back!"

The old man walked into the bamboo hut as he spoke, and after placing the pheasant on the table, he also hung his bow and arrow on the wall.

"That, senior, didn't you say that Huangfu Qingyun is your senior brother? He once taught me martial arts for a period of time, and he is also half of my master, since you are his junior brother, can you teach me instead of him?"

Ye Chen asked the old man tentatively, wanting him to teach him martial arts. Even though he seemed unreliable on the surface, Ye Chen believed that the person who could scare the flower demon away was definitely not simple, at least not weaker than Huangfu Qingyun.

"I can't teach you now, why are you learning martial arts even when you're half paralyzed?" the old man asked.

"Revenge, of course. You don't know, the Shura Hall beat me like this, and killed my mother, and even when my Ye family was destroyed, I might not be able to get rid of him, how can such a blood feud not be avenged if I am paralyzed!"
