Su Qiao'er, who was streaked with tears on her face, grabbed Bai Nianyi's hand and didn't speak, just grabbed him like that.

Until the end, Hong Dingzhen pulled her away.

The young man took off the old immortal wine gourd, took three steps and two steps to catch up, and put it in Su Qiao'er's hand.

"When you're idle, put your tears and snot in it. ”

"You're not disgusting. The girl took the gourd in her arms and kicked it over.

The Buried Sword Pond is in the northernmost part of the inner city of the Sword Shrine.

As soon as Bai Nian was far away, he could see a huge stone tablet engraved with the words "Buried Sword Pool" standing in front of a courtyard without a door wall. The stele is full of cracks and mottled archaic, making people feel that if they are not careful, this stele will collapse.

When I walked to the stele, I saw that there was a row of words under the stele: I have a sword, which can knock the mountains and shake the sea, I have a sword, which can subdue evil and cut evil, and I have a sword, which can ask for immortality.

When the young man read out loud, he only felt that his heart was agitated, and his whole body was calm.

What a big spirit!

I don't know which senior master actually wrote such earth-shattering words, and Bai Nianyi, who looked at it directly, was full of blood.

But Bai Nianyi can be sure that old age will definitely not die, he can only pout his butt with his pipe and write: Nianyi, and then go and make a gourd and five flowers.

The disciples who led the way for Bai Nian stood in front of the courtyard and shouted inside, "Uncle Chen." ”

The courtyard was silent, and no one responded. This disciple was not surprised, as if he had expected it, and continued to say towards the quiet courtyard: "The tomb master ordered the disciple to bring the new nominal disciple Bai Nian with him, and if the senior uncle has nothing to do, the disciple will retreat first." ”

The disciple who led the way said to Bai Nianyi: "I can't enter this sword pool, so I'll lead you here." Uncle Chen has a quiet personality, you can go in by yourself. ”

Bai Nian nodded in thanks, and then walked towards the courtyard.

There is naturally a pond in the buried sword pool. A lake is full of clear water, and fish heads can be faintly seen on the surface of the lake. There is a bamboo forest not far from the lakeside, and when the wind rises, the bamboo waves are like a tide, full of vitality. The bamboo forest is adjacent to the lake, and there are several wooden houses, and the wooden doors are hidden, and no human figures can be seen.

Bai Nianyi looked left and right, came to the wooden house and knocked on the door: "Is there anyone?"

There was still no sound in all directions. Just as he was hesitating to push the door in, a burst of angry scolding came out from the bamboo forest next to him.

A black dog jumped out of the bamboo forest, running on all fours, as fast as a black lightning. Behind the black dog, two scolding and grizzled teenagers chased after him with swords, and one of them, a bare-footed teenager, scolded at the black dog: "Dead black hair!

The black dog ran to the lake and stopped, and Bai Nianyi saw clearly that the dog with a harazi mouth was still holding a blue cloth shoe.

The black dog looked back and jumped into the lake, scattering a school of floating fish, and swam to the center of the lake after a while, the black dog barked twice, and the cloth shoes floating on the surface of the water swayed left and right with the ripples.

The two teenagers chasing the dog ran to the lake and stopped, and the one who wanted to stew the dog simply took off his other shoe, and smashed it at the black dog: "Black hair, there is a kind of you coming up! The male dog husband, if you dare to steal my shoes, you must dare to be! Come up and fight, whoever loses the stew will be who!"

The black dog slapped the water and screamed at the young man who was inviting to fight on the shore, then picked up the shoe on the side of his head and shook it twice, then let go of his mouth, and it was another sound.

Provocation, provocation with red stripes. Is it tolerable or unbearable, and dogs can endure but can't bear it. The boy lifted his leg and touched his foot, only to remember that he had just thrown the rest of his shoes away.

Now that the shoes are not enjoyable, the sword in his hand cannot be lost, so he touched some stones everywhere, and the black dog in the middle of the lake swam around and kept dodging.

The boy who smashed the dog was covered in weeds and dirt, and seeing how energetic he threw it, he also searched for stones together, and saw a young man with a pipe hanging and a long strip of cloth standing in front of the wooden house and watching them.

"Who are you?" the young man looking for the stone pulled his barefoot companion and asked Bai Nianyi.

"My name is Bai Nianyi, and Lord Hongzun asked me to come here to find Senior Chen Liang. After that, I studied kendo with him here. Are you a disciple of Senior Chen?"

After the barefoot boy threw the last stone, he clapped his hands: "This is really a new thing, Uncle Chen doesn't accept apprentices." After speaking, he snorted at the black dog in the lake, and then looked at Bai Nianyi: "My name is Qiu Jin, he is Xu Wansheng, I am the apprentice of the third elder of the Sword Shrine, and the late rise is the apprentice of the fourth elder." The black dog in the distance, taking advantage of his words, hurriedly went ashore on the side, shook his body, snorted twice, and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Qiu Jin pointed at the black dog and roared, "You are lucky today, I will eat you sooner or later!"

Xu Wansheng slapped the weeds on his body and said: "Forget it, what kind of majesty is it after running away, after so many years, if you really want to catch it, how can it be your turn, it has long been stewed by the senior brothers and there is no hair left." ”

Xu Wansheng slapped his body clean, walked to Bai Nian's side and looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen doesn't accept apprentices, did you hear the tomb master say something wrong?" ”

Bai Nian took a step back and held down his pipe to avoid Xu Wansheng's hand: "I heard it right. Do you know where Senior Chen is?"

The barefoot one was uncomfortable standing, so he found a comfortable place to sit down, rubbed the soles of his feet and said, "Uncle Shi is sweeping the forest in the forest." ”

As soon as Bai Nian said thank you, he was about to walk towards the bamboo forest. Xu Wansheng grabbed him, shook his hand and said, "If Uncle Shi ignores people when he sweeps the forest, you won't go in." Let's wait with you for a while. ”

"The sword pool has always been only allowed to come in by the disciples of the sword mound, and you, the master, entered the sword pool without worshipping, and it can be regarded as a yellow flower girl sitting in a sedan chair, the first time. Tell me, which gate compound are you a prominent boy sent from?" Qiu Jin rubbed his feet comfortably, crossed his legs, and looked like a ruffian.

Bai Nian, who was stopped, glanced at the bamboo forest, and no longer insisted: "I'm just an ordinary person, not a son." ”

"Then you must have something extraordinary, otherwise the tomb master would definitely not be so good to you for no reason. ”

Bai Nianyi didn't bother to say that he was sent by Hong Dingzhen to sweep the floor and guard the door with Chen Liang.

Looking at the Buried Sword Pond again, except for the majestic stone tablet at the door, he couldn't see how this piece of bamboo forest, a few wooden houses, and a pool of clear water could be called the forbidden land of the Compassion Sword Shrine. It would be appropriate to say that this is a hermit of the mountains and forests.

"Doesn't it mean that the Buried Sword Pond is a place where generations of Sword Shrine masters practiced and practiced kendo? I think this is like a very ordinary place to live, and who still has a dog here. Bai Nianyi asked his doubts.

Qiu Jin spitted, and when he talked about this dog, he was not angry: "This dog has no one to raise, and I don't know where I came from here." Don't underestimate this black animal, the one who steals chickens and dogs is more thief than people. ”

"The appearance of the Buried Sword Pool is just a little ordinary, and there are a lot of dry goods, you will know after a long time. ”

As soon as Bai Nian heard Qiu Jin speak, he wanted to laugh inexplicably, this is a famous disciple of the Sword Shrine, and he is clearly a street gangster.

Xu Wansheng looked at the sky and patted Bai Nianyi on the shoulder: "Bai Nianyi, it's not early, Senior Brother Qiu and I have to go back." Don't worry, or a pillar of incense, Uncle Chen will come out. Since the owner of the tomb asked you to follow Uncle Chen, you can ask him about anything, and I can't guarantee that he won't answer you. Hey. ”

Qiu Jin also stood up, twisted his waist and moved, and said with a smile: "Brother Bai, you live here well, and I and Wansheng will often come to you in the future." The disciples in this sword mound are the two of the same age, I and Wansheng, and now that you are here, we can be closer and closer in the future. After speaking, he limped two feet and called Xu Wansheng to leave, and occasionally accidentally got on it, so he bared his teeth and scolded the black dog again.

After the two left, the buried sword pool suddenly fell silent again. Bai Nian was bored, so he found a chair to sit down, staring at the two cloth shoes floating in the lake.

The sudden silence made Bai Nianyi's thoughts diverge.

He remembered the old immortal who didn't think about it for a long time, the small dilapidated house, and the aunt Zhang and the butcher Wang who urged him to let the old immortal quickly settle the debts when he often bought wine and occasionally meat.

Thinking about it, I thought about it and thought of the scarred Su Xing River, and the gentle Su Bang Fang who was waiting for him to wake up, and then the arrogant Su Qiao'er also came to mind. Bai Nian said unconsciously: "I don't know what the little man is doing now, should he still be wiping his tears." If that's the case, I guess the wine gourd won't fit now. ”

In the end, my mind was filled with the words on the stone tablet, and I couldn't disperse it for a long time: I have a sword, and I can ask for immortality.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a black thing jumped in front of him.

The big black dog called by Qiu Jin pulled Bai Nianyi's mind back, it didn't know when it ran back from the bamboo forest, and this time it came out with a middle-aged man holding a long bamboo broom and wearing a linen robe.

The black dog squatted on the ground and looked at the young man in front of him, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth didn't seem to break.

Bai Nian said wholeheartedly, this person must be Chen Liang. got up and saluted: "Senior Chen, my name is Bai Nianyi, and Lord Hongzun asked me to sweep the floor and guard the sword pool with you." ”

Chen Liang didn't respond, he walked to the wooden house and put down the broom, then fetched a basin of water, took a face towel, and squatted at the door to scrub it carefully.

"Senior Chen, is there anything I can do? Bai Nianyi had a little headache, could this be a deaf person.

"You stay in that room at night. Chen Liang, who was scrubbing, didn't raise his head, and casually pointed to a wooden house, and then spared the words like gold.

Bai Nianyi simply stopped talking, and after thanking Chen Liang, he went into the wooden house and started to clean up the room where he would live for an unknown amount of time in the future.

After cleaning the room, Bai Nianyi took out the futon from the wooden box in the room, and was about to spread it on the bed made of several wooden boards, when he heard Chen Liang shouting outside: "Eat." ”

The meal is simple, clear porridge and pickles, and a plate of steamed buns. This made Bai Nian feel more cordial, and the chopsticks were like the wind, and he put down a bowl of porridge and half a dish of vegetables like a wind.

Chen Liang finally glanced up at him, just glanced at him and then buried himself in eating, just said: "There is still porridge, if it is not enough, make it yourself." ”

This meal made Bai Nianyi seem to have returned to the small dilapidated house, the same simple food, the difference was the people who ate together.

After Chen Liang finished eating, he picked up his own dishes and chopsticks and left, and after cleaning, he went back to his room to rest. I didn't say a word halfway, and I didn't even make a big noise when I walked and closed the door.

Bai Nianyi held his bowl, shook his head and sighed, what is this.

After Bai Nian cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he put the remaining porridge and vegetables in a large porcelain bowl at the door that was estimated to be food for black dogs, looked around and didn't find Hei Mao, so he went back to the room, but when he pushed the door open, he saw Hei Mao running in and curling up in the corner of the wall to fall asleep.

"I don't know, you took my place, or I robbed you of your territory. Bai Nian thought of Chen Liang, looked at the black dog, screamed powerlessly, and accepted his fate.
