Zhou Tao on the side looked at Li Wenshuo, his pupils shrunk, and he looked incredible.

Of course he knew Li Wenshuo, although he didn't know him, he had seen the portrait of the other party, but the other party was like this now, but it was far from the rumored gentle and elegant sword immortal.

Of course, if you look at it again at this moment, except for the black dark lines on the face like the plum blossom makeup of Baili Chaohua, it is really similar to the portrait.

Li Wenshuo just laughed and said, "The hall master knows me?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know, but I have heard of your sword and know that you are a very good young man." ”

Li Wenshuo said: "But the hall master is not a very middle-aged man. ”

The hall master of the Ghost Forest Hall is called Lin Buping, this name may have some weight twenty years ago, but at this time, even Zhou Tao is not comparable in Zhongzhou.

People know that Zhou Tao is the deputy hall master of the Ghost Forest Hall, not only strong in martial arts, but also a wise general.

People also know that the hall master of the Ghost Forest Hall lives behind the bamboo forest all day long, but few outsiders know who he is, what he looks like, and how high his means are.

Lin Buping's expression was calm, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "I know what you're thinking, after all, I've been young, but when you're middle-aged, maybe it's like me." ”

Li Wenshuo raised his eyebrows, suddenly laughed, and said, "Hall Master, I found that you are still a philosopher, and you are still the kind of philosopher with a high sense of security. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

Lin Buping unceremoniously accepted Li Wenshuo's praise, not arrogant or impatient.

On the contrary, Zhou Tao on the side knew what Li Wenshuo meant by the sense of security, his face was strange, and he didn't know whether to speak or shut up at this moment.

Li Wenshuo glanced at the bamboo in Lin Buping's hand, the front half of the bamboo was ordinary and had not been moved, but the back two feet and two inches were cut in half, and the front end was still sharpened.

"What is this?"

"Bamboo, bamboo, is still an old bamboo, it has been growing for a long time, and it was not easy to make up my mind to cut it down yesterday. ”

As he spoke, Lin Buping's face already showed a look of regret.

Li Wenshuo said: "Of course I know it's bamboo, but now, he looks like a sword." ”

Lin Buping laughed and said, "What is a statue, this is a sword." ”

Li Wenshuo also laughed and said, "This can also be called a sword? It is worse than the sword of a dozen taels of silver in my division." ”

Lin Buping didn't laugh, he said calmly: "A sword beaten with iron is called a sword, and a sword made of bamboo can kill people, isn't it called a sword?"

When he said this, he was obviously asking, but it was like telling you something.

Li Wenshuo pondered for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Lin Buping's eyes, his eyes were green, and there was a breathtaking power in them, which made it easy for people to believe what he said.

Li Wenshuo nodded and said, "Yes, if you kill a dead person, it is naturally a sword." ”

Lin Buping also nodded and said, "Your Excellency visited the Ghost Forest Hall at night tonight, and I probably know the reason, and when I see the things in the underground palace, of course I will have a lot of questions to ask me." ”

The rapids rained unstoppable. A wave of continuous fluctuations filled the dark world, and the falling water, the flowing water, the dripping water, and the rushing water, all combined to form a drifting blurred sound.

Li Wenshuo said: "I do have a question for you, it depends on whether you answer it or not." ”

Lin Buping didn't seem to care, and said, "Your Excellency just asks, you know everything." ”

Li Wenshuo said: "How could the umbrella of the umbrella holder be here with you, and where did he go?"

Lin Buping immediately replied: "The umbrella was given to me by Chu He, as for the umbrella holder, you know, even if he dies, he will never put down this butter paper umbrella." ”

Li Wenshuo had no expression on his face, and continued to ask: "I don't understand, how much benefit the Academy Palace has given you, you are so reckless for them." ”

"Hall Master, School Palace...... What is it?"

Zhou Tao was frightened and puzzled, and many things that happened tonight made him feel incomprehensible.

He had always thought that the hall master did not care about the world, and he had truly mastered everything in the Ghost Forest Hall, big and small, but now he found that the Ghost Forest Hall, which was already a behemoth, seemed to be working for another organization.

The Academy?

I haven't heard of it, is it the organization of the imperial court?

The only explanation that Zhou Tao could think of was the imperial court, but if the Ghost Forest Hall was really working hard for the imperial court, there was no reason why he, the deputy hall master, would not know, this feeling of being kept in the dark was very bad.

Lin Buping didn't turn his head, he didn't look at Zhou Tao, but the sword in his hand stabbed at Zhou Tao strangely, Zhou Tao had already taken precautions, but this sword was not as powerful as if it was not powerful, and not even a sword qi was issued.

The distance between him and Lin Buping was a zhang away, Lin Buping stood still, the tip of the sword couldn't stab him at all, but even so, the bamboo sword still swept back, and when Zhou Tao looked at the bamboo sword again, it was already hanging on Lin Buping's side.

"Hall Master?"

Zhou Tao was a little puzzled, he felt that his neck was full of water, wiped it with his hand, it was a little sticky, looked down, his pupils shrank, he had already separated the rain with body protection qi, where is this water?

It's blood.

Scarlet blood, fresh blood, his own blood.

He looked at Lin Buping's back, puzzled, puzzled, and then fell into the muddy ground, and the clothes on his body were soaked by the rain in just an instant.

Li Wenshuo squinted, Zhou Tao didn't see the sword clearly, but he could see it clearly.

There is indeed no sword qi.

But when the sword stabbed out, it threw out a few drops of rain, which were almost imperceptible in the dim rainy night, but it still pierced Zhou Tao's protective qi, and then cut his throat.

Although this is a bamboo sword, it can indeed kill, and almost in the blink of an eye, Lin Buping proved to Li Wenshuo that what he said was true.

There was a look of disgust and disdain in his eyes, and he said, "A thing that doesn't know the height of the sky is still trying to overthrow me, but I don't know that everything in the entire Ghost Forest Hall is under my control. ”

Li Wenshuo applauded and said with a smile: "The hall master is really powerful, admire and admire." ”

"The Ghost Forest Hall was originally able to appear because of the existence of the School Palace, and the three secret books are all from the School Palace, so great, why should I do something for the School Palace?" Lin Buping turned his head to look at Li Wenshuo, there was no trace of murder or murderous aura on his face, some were just calm, he said: "It is rumored that the umbrella holder and the sword immortal Li Wenshuo are brothers and sisters, and now that I tell the news of his death, you don't look angry at all, it seems that the rumors are not credible." ”

Li Wenshuo sneered and said: "Naturally, I won't be angry, because I won't believe half a word of what you say, I was still unsure of Lao Huang's life and death before, but after listening to you, I know that Lao Huang must still be alive." ”

Lin Buping's pupils shrank and said, "You are really a very smart person." ”

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

"Can't you really let me go?"

"You are killing yourself, why do you ask me this? ”

As he spoke, Li Wenshuo had already pulled out his broken teeth, swung out the iron sword, slashed the rain curtain, and a line was separated between heaven and earth, but Li Wenshuo's people had already disappeared in place.

At the same time, more than ten zhang of sword marks faintly appeared in the rain curtain, exuding a cold and hard breath of bamboo, not approaching, proud, lonely, and melancholy indescribable.

When Li Wenshuo reappeared, he was already standing quietly behind Lin Buping, slowly sending the long sword back into its scabbard.

"Good sword. ”

Lin Buping admired from the bottom of his heart, the bamboo sword in his hand was broken in two, and his body fell to the ground heavily.

The sword marks twisted and drifted away with the wind.

Li Wenshuo turned around and looked at Lin Buping on the ground, he had a lot of sorrow and troubles in his heart, but he was still so chic in life, and he was so chic when he died.

Li Wenshuo didn't come to raise a sense of respect for Lin Buping, even if the other party was his defeated subordinate, although the sword he desperately slashed out was wonderful, but because of the gap in the realm, it didn't even break the protection of the Heavenly Demon Banner Sword beside him.

But the respect is still undiminished.

This is a hero, a real chivalrous man, Li Wenshuo believes that Lin Buping must have sworn with a sword when he was young and swept away the injustices in the world, but in the end he embarked on a wrong path because of kindness.

But in the end, he still persisted and did not regret it at all.

A man lives in the world, there is no need to be powerful, it is enough to have that spirit.
