Zhou Jiujian returned to his room, the candle was flickering, and a girl was sitting quietly inside.

The boy pushed the door in and was not surprised to see her.

The girl opened her eyes, looked at him, and said lightly, "How is it?"

Zhou Jiujian then sat in front of her and told her in detail what Ma Yong had just said.

The girl's eyes were a little surprised, listening to the young man slowly, and finding that he didn't expect his grandfather to be related to the former big man.

The girl is naturally Liu Yue.

After hearing Zhou Jiujian finish talking about all the past events, he looked at him again and asked softly, "Then what do you want to do after that?"

Zhou Jiujian looked at her with a look of interest, looking at his expression, it was clear that he had already made a decision in his heart, and then saw him smile, and said: "What else can I do?" Naturally, I will go to the Huangquan Cave to take a look at the sky, hoping to enter the realm, and then come out again, go back to Qingyun Mountain to the burial sword forest to pull out the broken sword, and complete the agreement with the predecessor of the sword armor, and then ...... Let's take it a long time. ”

Liu Yue glanced at him, and then silently looked away.

Zhou Jiujian said strangely: "What's wrong?"

Liu Yue shook her head, but said, "What you said was a bit of a surprise. ”

"Accident, why is it an accident?" Zhou Jiujian said strangely.

Liu Yue immediately blinked lightly and said, "I thought that you would inevitably have to ask about the long night in the future. ”

When Zhou Jiujian heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that the girl would think like this, it must be because of the previous encounter with Lao Huai, which probably left an impulsive and reckless impression in her heart...... I'm ashamed.

Zhou Jiujian looked at Liu Yue and explained: "I still know what my current strength is! Besides, the current situation is also unclear, and the strength of the family is so powerful that I regret it with the power of a grasshopper alone, which is almost the same as asking for my own death, I ...... It's not that stupid!"

Liu Yue glanced at the young man silently, and suddenly said: "You are not so stupid, that is naturally the best, I am only afraid of you, suddenly the wooden braincase, can't turn around, when the time comes, I can't persuade you to come back." ”

When Zhou Jiujian heard this, he hurriedly said, "No, no." ”

Liu Yue looked at him again, and when she saw him say this, she was a little relieved, and said softly: "Also, you have to remember that you are not just one person, you still have us to help you!"

When the young man heard her say this, he was particularly moved, and the emotion in his heart was indescribable, and it took a long time before he confided two words: "Thank you." ”

Seeing Zhou Jiujian's true feelings revealed, Liu Yue only smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to say too much, as long as you know that there are still people beside you who are fighting side by side with you, and you will not be alone." ”

Zhou Jiujian nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, he looked at the girl again, and said seriously, "Also, you...... It's the same, in the future, if there is a need, I will also be on call!"

Liu Yue looked at him with some confusion and said, "Me?"

Zhou Jiujian hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Hmm...... That is, in the future, if you are involved in the old Han Kingdom...... If you need it. ”

The boy's words were quite vague, but they also revealed a lot of information.

Liu Yue looked at him fixedly, half ringing, before retracting his eyes and whispering, "You...... Got it?"

Zhou Jiujian was stunned, then nodded, and said: "I can guess some, after all, the sword armor predecessor was too famous earlier, and there are very few monks who have not heard of it in this sword continent." As for the girl who was protected back then, I think...... It's supposed to be you, right?"

Liu Yue nodded lightly, but she didn't have the slightest denial, and said, "Yes." ”

Zhou Jiujian then said, "So...... In the future, if you want to avenge your parents or something, you can call me. ”

Hearing what the young man said, Liu Yue shook her head lightly, looked at him, and said with a smile: "No need...... In the future, I will not take revenge on them, that way, it is not much meaning, when is the time of retribution, people's lives, not only hatred, if we have been immersed in it, for us, it is not a good thing. ”

Zhou Jiujian heard her say this, and suddenly felt that her words seemed to be talking about herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said, "Then I ......"

Liu Yue blinked her eyes and said, "Nine Swords, you don't need to be affected by my words, it's just my personal choice, it's good for you to go on like this, let's ...... After all, they are different, and they cannot be discussed together. ”

Zhou Jiujian was silent, and after a while, he nodded and smiled: "That's the case." ”

"Still, it's too early to say that, isn't it?" said the boy with a smile again.

When Liu Yue heard this, she also smiled and nodded.

"By the way, what we said tonight, you must remember that you must keep it a secret from outsiders, even Xixi...... Try not to let her know too much, in this way, but also to protect her, there are some things that we should bear, but we don't have to drag everyone else into the water, it's like ...... Before, we were like the old teachers of the heavens. Zhou Jiujian suddenly reminded the girl carefully.

Looking at his sudden appearance of being old-fashioned, Liu Yue couldn't help but snort and chuckled, and covered her mouth and replied, "Okay, I remember." ”

Zhou Jiujian felt inexplicable, and he didn't know why the girl laughed again.

Then the boy asked strangely, "What's the matter?"

Liu Yue hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's nothing ......"

Immediately, she turned her head to look out the window at the night, which was already deeper, and quickly stood up and said, "I'm going back!"

Zhou Jiujian was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more, but sent her out.

Then I closed the door, and all of a sudden, the light of the oil lamp on the table gradually became faint, and then the oil ran out, and it suddenly became pitch black.

Zhou Jiujian watched this scene and sighed.

Alas, well, then tonight, let's have a good rest.

Lying on the bed, all kinds of thoughts in his mind came one after another, and it was a mess, but he couldn't calm down for a while.

I don't know how long it has been, but a cold wind suddenly blew in outside the window, and the young man fell asleep completely at this moment, but it was no longer the previous meditation practice, but he really fell asleep.

......

On the second day, Zhou Jiujian rarely got up late.

When he got up and finished practicing his sword, he found that the three of them had been waiting downstairs in the inn for a long time, and even at the instigation of Xixi, they had ordered a table of breakfast.

Looking at Xixi's appearance, she was very happy to eat, while Liu Yue stopped tasting it, and as for Ma Yong, she hadn't touched it at all.

After Zhou Jiujian came down, he said hello to everyone.

Xi Xi glanced at him, still eating in his mouth, so he said vaguely, "Hmm...... Wood...... Wood, taste it...... These things, well, are delicious!"

Zhou Jiujian looked at him and smiled, then picked up a piece of yellow sticky pastry, took a bite, chewed it carefully, and found that it was very good in terms of texture and taste, so his eyes lit up, and after eating the pastry in his hand in two bites, he took another piece.

Of course, I didn't forget to praise while eating.

Xi Xi looked at him like this, and he also smiled.

And Ma Yong and Liu Yue looked at the appearance of the two of them, and they were quite speechless.

After watching the two of them finish a table of breakfast, a group of four people planned to set off again.

It is worth mentioning that Ma Yong's journey after that, like them, is also to go south. Because of Zhou Jiujian's relationship, he didn't mind walking with the three of them.

It's just that because he and the two girls are not familiar with each other, they don't walk too close along the way, and they usually walk in front of the three of them, and they rarely have extra words, leaving only a rather lonely back.

Now, the threesome has become a foursome again.

The two girls didn't have much disgust with Ma Yong's peers, and Zhou Jiujian could take advantage of such an excellent opportunity to ask Ma Yong for the cultivation tips of "Taishang Raising Sword" and "Getaway".

In this regard, Ma Yong did not have any stinginess, because of the relationship between the young man and his uncle, he was even more poured, along the way, the key points and tricks of these two methods and how to practice and what to pay attention to, all of them were told to Zhou Jiujian, and there was nothing to hide, for the young man, he was excellent.

In the next part of the journey, the four of them did not encounter any accidents, there may be some mountain spirits and wild monsters on the road, but once they met this group of four people, among which there were two swordsmen in the town, naturally they did not give any more trouble, and most of them also fled after hearing the wind.

After walking for several days, Liu Yue and Xixi were also familiar with the existence of Youma Yong. And Zhou Jiujian was in the meantime, the two techniques he practiced, due to Ma Yong's personal guidance, were also greatly improved, and the work of a few days was even comparable to his efforts for more than half a month before, such rapid progress naturally made the young man a little ecstatic, wishing that Ma Yong could stay for a while longer.

The journey of the four of them was also all the way south, day after day, cycle after cycle, and in the blink of an eye, they also came to the small Qinchuan.

The boundary between the central and northern parts of Daze is just in the middle of this small Qinchuan, and after the small Qinchuan to the south, it will officially enter the chaotic place in the middle of Daze.

The post road under the feet of the four people, all the way forward, leads to a mountainous surrounding, ravines and ravines, the line is not far away, you can also see a huge stone tablet of human height on the side of the road, on it, it is carved with three big characters of "Little Qinchuan".

The four of them walked slowly, Zhou Jiujian and Ma Yong walked in front, while Xi Xi and Liu Yue fell three steps behind the two.

The boy was chatting with Ma Yong.

I saw that the young man suddenly asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Ma, why did you ask us if we were the people from the Sword Mountain when you met us earlier?"

At this time, the young man has already received Ma Yong's permission, and according to his seniority, he can be called "senior brother".

When Ma Yong heard this, he immediately smiled lightly, and said indifferently: "Because, we have an enmity with the Tibetan Sword Mountain!"

"Ah?!" When Zhou Jiujian heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim.
