At ten o'clock in the afternoon, after drinking the last drop of water from the kettle brought from home, Xiao He hurried to Dongyang City.

At this time, the scorching sun in the sky made him sweat, wiped the sweat from his face, and then rode slowly into the city.

This is the first time he has come, in the face of such a huge city, he is not familiar with life, and he is also beginning to be confused, not knowing which direction to go next, and he can't help muttering in his heart:

"Where the hell is the Zhao Mansion? This place is really big, I'm tired to death......"

So, he got off the horse, and had to lead it around to ask for directions, and it took a long time to learn the specific location of the Zhao Mansion.

It is located in the northeast of Dongyang City, a remote suburb, backed by mountains and rivers, and few people really know about it.

After Xiao He went through a period of tiring travel, he really arrived at the Zhao Mansion. The sun has begun to turn west, and there is a faint feeling that it is about to sink.

At this time, he stood in front of the huge vermilion gate of the Zhao Mansion, as small as a stubborn stone! Looking inside from the outside, the outlines of various pavilions and pavilions could be faintly seen, which must have been very magnificent.

If the Zhao Mansion is placed in the center of the city, I don't know what the other mansions will be, it will definitely be overshadowed! Moreover, there is a team of guards with swords in front of the door, so that outsiders do not dare to approach easily.

Faced with this scene, Xiao He saw it for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel very shocked, and even completely stunned by the scene in front of him, so he couldn't help but stop in the square in front of the gate for a while.

The passers-by saw Xiao He dare to stand directly in the middle of the gate like this, and they also began to gather onlookers to discuss, and some of them pointed directly at him and said:

"Where did this poor boy come from? Why haven't I seen it? Don't he know that this is the mansion of Lord Zhao Kaiyang, the sword immortal, and it's not a joke to come here. There are really all kinds of people in this world, but I've never seen such a terrible thing!haha"

"Yes, this is the existence of such a person who can't think about it, and it's the first time I've encountered it, hey~" The other person shook his head and expressed deep sympathy for Xiao He.

The people around him also agreed, some shook their heads, and some laughed and pointed.

But some people couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the tall and mighty red giant horse beside Xiao He. Some people suddenly remembered something and said in surprise:

"Isn't this the Zhao family's unique Chilian BMW? I heard that this is the Sword Immortal Lord who came back from the Red Lian Zone, it has a fiery personality and is extremely fierce, it is not something that ordinary people can subdue, and the Sword Immortal Lord also spent some effort to subdue it. ”

The man paused, took a sip of water, and continued:

"And I've heard that it runs five or six times faster than a normal horse. Where you step on, you will leave red hoof prints, and no grass will grow. Although this boy looked shabby, how could the BMW get into his hands? Could it be that the horse was so stubborn that he ran out of the way while the servant was not paying attention, and then he was caught by the poor boy by luck. No, because he was really short of money, he had to bring his own horse over so that he could receive some tips and make ends meet. ”

"Yes, yes, looking at his poor and sour appearance, he must be poor and crazy, haha. As soon as the man finished speaking, someone began to respond.

"Didn't you say that this horse is fierce by nature, and looks so big, and that kid is so thin, even if he finds out, what means can he have to catch it? I think he must have something special, otherwise he wouldn't have been so unharmed. ”

However, there were also people who questioned and couldn't help but ask, and those who were laughing suddenly stopped abruptly.

There was a lot of talk among those people, and they all looked forward to what would happen next. After all, if you dare to stand like this in front of the Zhao Mansion directly, Xiao He is definitely the first!

After a while, the guard in front of the door also noticed something unusual, so he began to walk slowly towards Xiao He and asked him a few words. Then Xiao He began to grope around his body, and after a while, he took out a bronze token from his jacket, and looked closely at the word "Zhao" clearly printed on it.

The guard took a look, and then directly clasped his hands into fists, looking very respectful. Then he asked someone to open the door and led Xiao He in.

The appearance of this scene made the onlookers almost drop their jaws in an instant, no one expected that such a poor sour boy would be brought in safe and sound, and the guards were respectful to him, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Originally, they were all looking forward to watching a good show, but they turned out to be so unexpected that they couldn't believe it, and they rubbed their eyes vigorously, and it was really.

Of course, among them, there is no shortage of people with vision, who suddenly thought. Directly surprised:

"That's not the exclusive token of the Sword Immortal Zhao Kaiyang? I heard that people with this token can enter the Zhao Mansion at will, and some important secret places in the Mansion can also go! Even the Sword Immortal Zhao Kaiyang's insiders may not necessarily get it, but this kid actually got it, which means that the Sword Immortal himself gave it to him." ”

"Ah, I really saw the wrong person just now, and I shouldn't slander people like this. How can a person who is even recognized by the Sword Immortal Lord be just a mediocre person? I hope that the person has a lot of people, and he won't pay too much attention to what I said just now, otherwise it will be troublesome, hey. It's really a lot of talent, and I'm ashamed. The other sighed and said ashamedly.

After that, everyone also dispersed, Xiao He didn't even expect that his image in everyone's hearts would change like this today, and he didn't have time to take care of it.

Xiao He silently followed behind the guards, looking at the tall pavilions and golden halls, and from time to time he saw a huge square, and a county of people in white clothes practicing swords on it, probably the children of the Zhao family, or disciples and the like.

When they saw Xiaohe, a hillbilly, being led in front of them, they would inevitably point fingers and even talk about it.

It's just that Xiao He didn't care, he was still attracted by the spectacular scene in front of him, and from time to time he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide, and he looked like he had never seen the world, and muttered in his heart:

"No wonder that Zhao Huimin rode this good horse to hurry before, it turned out that it was so difficult to get out of this Zhao Mansion, but this also just proves that she has worked a lot of hard work to catch up with the master, haha, I really look forward to seeing her later." ”

Originally, Xiao He thought that the eldest brother of the guard in front would take him to the highest and gorgeous palace, and secretly looked forward to it, after all, he was also a personal disciple of the Sword Immortal.

However, the reality made him very depressed, and he found that he was led into a dense forest path in the back mountain, and after about half an hour's journey, the two of them finally stopped in front of a huge waterfall.

Suddenly, Xiao He was also puzzled, and instantly felt that he was about to be sold.

I saw that the waterfall was like a thick white cloth hanging down from the distant sky, the sound was deafening, in front of the mountain was a vast emerald green lake, under the reflection of the blue sky was a giant water mirror, the smoke was shrouded on it, and from time to time it flew over the snow-white fairy goose, surrounded by green trees, like a fairyland.

"Hey~ The eldest brother in front, why did you take me to the wilderness?As a disciple of the Sword Immortal Lord, shouldn't he be in a certain hall in the Zhao Mansion?How could he be reduced to such a situation, what does this mean?" Xiao He was puzzled and asked steadily.

At this point, the guard stopped moving forward, and turned back to:

"Lord Sword Immortal has already sent an order to your subordinates, telling me to bring that person here if I meet someone with a bronze token in the future, Lord Sword Immortal often meditates here, you only need to bypass the waterfall, you can find him. ”

"Well~ I see, what a presumptuousness, then thank you big brother for leading the way, the kid is grateful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard nodded to him lightly, and then turned to leave.

Xiao He watched the stone steps in front of him stretch in the direction of the waterfall, and then disappeared into the stirring mist. After a pause, he didn't stop too much, and walked slowly on the stone steps.

The sound became louder and louder, and finally began to decrease again, and at the end of the stone steps was a bronze door, carved with flowers, birds, fish and insects on the doorpost, and under the immersion of the aura of heaven and earth, it seemed to have the breath of life.

"Boy, you're here at last, the old man has been here for a long time, you just need to press the token on the groove in the middle of the bronze door. ”

At that moment, an ethereal voice began to recall in his mind, and when he looked around at the emptiness, he cried out loudly:

"Master, where is your old man talking? Why can't I see you? Behind the door? ”

It's just that after the voice paused, he didn't reply, and he didn't think much about it, so he had to do it.

The giant door slowly opened by itself the moment the token was pressed, and a little dazzling starlight was projected inside, so that Xiao He couldn't help but cover his eyes with his palm to see clearly.

It is a large enclosed cave with a round mouth and green vines hanging from it. There is also a dark spring flowing out of it, which merges into a small pool, and the heat rises from it, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally. There are also some strange-shaped plants around, there are flowers and grasses, and the trees bear golden fruits, fragrant.

As soon as Xiao He stepped in, he was also fascinated by the scene in front of him, and even lingered, he couldn't imagine that there would be such a wonderland in this world.

After a while, his eyes locked on a huge figure, at this time he was sitting quietly on the lotus stone platform in the center of the waterhole, indifferent to the changes around him, as if he was also changing, completely integrated into nature.

Seeing this, Xiao He didn't dare to disturb him more, for fear of disturbing his cultivation and seeking to find himself alive. So he crept closer and began to sit cross-legged not far from his side.

At this moment, the people on the lotus platform also slowly opened their eyes, their handprints changed, and with a wave of their hands, the huge bronze door behind Xiao He began to slowly close, and finally closed completely in a huge boom, isolating all the sounds from the outside world.

"In the future, this will be the place where I will teach you swordsmanship and cultivation, where the aura of heaven and earth is accumulated, and the essence of the sun and the moon is condensed, it is an excellent place for cultivators, especially for those who have strange tendons and eight veins. At this time, Zhao Kaiyang, who was sitting on the lotus platform, said majestically.

Then, Zhao Kaiyang's mind moved, and the giant sword leaning against the cave wall flew to Xiao He as if he had been summoned, and motioned for him to go up.

Xiao He was stunned, didn't say anything, just nodded, and then climbed onto the giant sword. Zhao Kaiyang then also drifted upward, and then the giant sword turned into a meteor in the setting sun and slashed into the distance.

After about ten minutes of flight, the two of them landed slowly on the slope of a small hill twenty miles away, on which a small house had already been built, and there were large and small cobblestones in front of the house, which seemed to have been prepared for Xiao He's arrival.

"This place will be your residence from now on, rest well tonight, and officially start cultivating tomorrow. Seeing that the frame under the eaves was not, I would carry it back and forth in the morning and evening, filled with round stones, and go to the blessed land of the cave just now to cultivate, and before eight o'clock in the morning, I was not allowed to be late. Zhao Kaiyang turned his back to Xiao He, and then said.

"Yes~Yes"

Xiao He was also frightened, he didn't expect it to be so difficult when he first started cultivating, and he felt a little unnatural.

Zhao Kaiyang looked at him silently, and he was helpless, patted him on the shoulder, and then said:

"If you really want to become strong and determined to protect the people who love you and the people you love, I hope you can persevere to the end, and I also hope that I am not wrong about you, and you can become a supreme party in the future and be admired by all people!"

"Yes, the apprentice will definitely do it, and he will not disappoint the old man, master, surpass himself and become the strongest. Xiao He was also deeply encouraged, and nodded vigorously.

"Remember what you said today, don't regret it, don't give up, I will teach you with all my might, but the road of the strong is to come out by yourself after all!"

As soon as the words fell, the huge figure pierced the sky and disappeared.
