The boy climbed out of the pit and patted the dust on his body vigorously, and suddenly his hands touched his waist, and then he shouted at the crowd with a look of urgency: "Where is my sword?

Jin Mengyao was holding the young man's iron sword at this time and couldn't close her mouth with a smile, when she suddenly heard an angry roar behind her, and the young man's eyes were blood-red, and he rushed forward like crazy.

When Jin Mengyao turned around, the young man was almost approaching, and she didn't have time to react at all, only heard a "poof", and the two fell to the ground together.

This time directly threw Jin Mengyao to the sky, and her eyes were full of stars.

The young man saw the opportunity and hurriedly got up from the ground, and then rushed to Jin Mengyao's side with an arrow step and hugged the iron sword tightly in his arms.

Jin Mengyao looked at the young man in the distance in disbelief, she slapped the ground with her palm and was about to attack, but was suddenly stopped in front of her by Zhao Ting.

Seeing this, Shen Linfeng hurriedly dragged the young man aside and asked, "Is this person surnamed Wu on the mountain now?"

"In!"

"And who the hell is he?"

"I don't know!"

"I don't know, then why do you have to help him keep guard?"

The young man glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "This person has silver, he has recruited hundreds of people in Tianyang City, and I haven't eaten for several days, so I plan to try my luck." Unexpectedly, the kid who picked me up saw that I was carrying a sword in my arms, and really regarded me as a hero, so he handed me fifty taels of silver at that time. ”

"So, there are hundreds of people on the mountain?"

"Pretty much. But ......" he slowly leaned into Shen Linfeng's ear and said, "Most of them are similar to me, all for silver, and there are few who really have kung fu!"

Shen Linfeng smiled and asked, "What about ...... What are they doing in the mountains?"

"I don't know about this, I guess the guy surnamed Wu saw that I was too young, and arranged for me to be a sentry here from the first day I went up the mountain!

Shen Linfeng nodded, he looked at the young man's tattered clothes, as well as the pair of cotton boots with exposed toes, he suddenly thought of himself, this young man is only fourteen or fifteen years old, wasn't he like this eight years ago?

"Where is your home, and why is there no food?"

The young man carefully inserted the iron sword back into his waist and said, "My family lives in Tianyang City, but my father and mother died a few years ago, and I am going to go to Nanyang to find my uncle after earning this money." He is a well-known local boxer. ”

Shen Linfeng looked at the young man's bright smile, he turned around and nodded at Xia Ziyan. Xia Ziyan comprehended, took out a bag of silver from her waist and put it in the young man's hand.

"This, you are ......"

"Don't be a sentry here, go to Nanyang to find your uncle. ”

The young man stared at Shen Linfeng in disbelief.

"Is that true?"

"Seriously!

The young man's eyes were full of gratitude, and he respectfully bowed to Shen Linfeng, then picked up the silver and turned around and left.

"Wait a minute!"

Sun Dahai walked in front of the young man in a few steps, he looked at the iron sword on the young man's waist, and then pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.

"Oh, for you!"

The boy took it in his hand in disbelief, the dagger was about a foot and three inches long, the whole was black, and the hilt of the sword was inlaid with several shining gems.

He couldn't put it down, Sun Dahai saw that the young man liked it sincerely, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, let's go, take care on the road!"

The young man inserted the dagger into the sheath, and he clenched his fists and saluted like an adult: "The kindness of several people is unforgettable, and when I break into the hall of fame one day, I will definitely repay your kindness." After saying that, he went down the mountain without looking back.

Shen Linfeng looked at the young man's back in the distance, and the smile slowly crawled on his face, but he never dreamed that ten years later, this sloppy young man would really become the famous "Tianyang Swordsman" and the reason why he was able to become famous was because of the dagger given to him by Sun Dahai.

Of course, that's all for later.

Shen Linfeng saw that the young man's figure gradually disappeared into the grass on the mountain road, he glanced at Jin Mengyao, who was still entangled with Zhao Ting, then shook his head and shouted, "Let's go!"

After another stick of incense, the difficult mountain road finally came to an end, replaced by a wide and steep staircase paved with white stones, winding all the way up.

"Wait, look!" Xia Ziyan suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Shen Linfeng leaned down to check, only to see a line of shallow mud footprints on the stone steps extending all the way to the top of the mountain.

"Everyone be careful, maybe there are sentry posts around here, if you find it, don't let him run away!"

"Hmm!"

"Don't worry, Brother Shen!"

To Shen Linfeng's surprise, not to mention being a sentry on the way, I didn't even see a few birds flying around the mountain. However, after a lot of hard work, Shen Linfeng and his party of six finally saw the gatehouse on the Tianxuan map.

But compared with the picture, the gatehouse in front of you looks very dilapidated. Most of the tiles at the top of the gatehouse had fallen to the ground, revealing the yellow dirt and rotting straw inside, and the plaque with "Qishan" in the center was hanging diagonally from side to side.

"Alas...... I didn't expect the Qishan faction, which was famous in the past, to become like this today. Zhao Ting sighed from the heart.

"Yes, I didn't think much of it when I heard about it before, but now I see it with my own eyes, and it's really embarrassing. Sun Dahai also replied with a regretful face.

Compared with these two people, Shen Linfeng's heart was extremely calm, he glanced at the gatehouse, and then took out the map and looked at it carefully.

"Sun Dahai, Brother Zhao, and Miss Jin, you follow Sister Liao and continue to go up the mountain along this road. Zi Yan and I went to find the entrance to the secret passage. ”

Liao Hua glanced at the map and said, "According to the picture, the end of this secret passage is in the Taihe Palace, so let's meet there, right?"

"Hmm!" Shen Linfeng nodded.

"Wait!" Jin Mengyao pouted dissatisfied.

"Miss Jin, what's wrong with you?"

"It's not really, I just want to be with Sister Xia. After speaking, he ran over and firmly hugged Xia Ziyan's arm.

Xia Ziyan had no choice but to treat her, and said to Shen Linfeng: "Just let her come with us." ”

Shen Linfeng glared at Jin Mengyao fiercely.

"Okay, but you have to listen to me, and you don't make a lot of noise!

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, you're the best, aren't you?"

Shen Linfeng didn't bother to argue with her, he said to Liao Hua: "Okay, then we'll ...... now Let's go!"[.]
