"Half-dragon, whatever you say, I don't care about Master Long. ”

"What are you doing in Guangliang County?"

"Join Niuqishan. ”

"Why do you want to join Niu Qishan?"

"My mother told me to come, and I came. Hiccup......" The young man opened his mouth and pointed at He Ding and said, "I see that you are also a cultivator, why don't you practice in your own sect, come to this place to fool around, and are wanted by the Yamen? You are also enough to disgrace the face of a cultivator." ”

Hearing the young man call himself a little hairy head, He Ding couldn't help but want to scold back, but considering that he couldn't beat this young man, he thought about it.

"It's a long story, you want to hear it?"

"Listen. ”

He Ding concisely told the young man about Jin Wei's evil deeds, how he fought Yang Chengfei in Jinfu later, and how he scared the county order. After listening to this, the young man nodded and said with a smile, "I said why are you so ugly, it turns out that someone has shaved off your face, hahahahahahaha......"

"I said, were you beaten when you came?"

"No, what's wrong?" the boy was stunned.

"That's not the point at all, okay......" He Ding was about to be angry with this young man, and a few green tendons burst out on his forehead. The wound on his face has already been scarred, and it is estimated that he will be able to remove it tomorrow, but at this time, it looks like a large piece of black on his face, and it is indeed ugly.

"Hahahaha, in fact, I still admire you a lot! Since you have no sect or sect now, do you want to join Niu Qishan with me, follow my Long Ye, and ensure that you will eat and drink spicy food in the future!" The young man laughed, revealing two tiger teeth, which was very good-looking.

At the mention of Niu Qishan, He Ding became silent. After all, the ordeal he experienced there a year ago is still a haze in his heart, and the humiliation of having his life in the hands of others lingers.

Seeing He Ding's solemn expression, the young man stood up and said, "Tomorrow is the once-in-a-decade mountain trial of Niu Qi Mountain, which lasts for three days. Master Long, I hope to see you there. The young man walked to the table and wanted to leave, but stopped again, "By the way, thank you for your hospitality today, the food is delicious, Master Long, I am very full." ”

"Next time we meet, you can call me Long Li. ”

When He Ding turned around, he found that there was no trace of the young man behind him.

The boy named Long Li is gone.

"Long Li?" He Ding muttered as he stared at the air, "What a strange person. ”

He Ding settled the account, received the silver ticket in his bag, and walked out into the street. There were still no pedestrians on the street, and although the hottest hour of the day had passed, He Ding looked at both sides of the street for a while, but did not see the bright red.

He Ding felt very strange, he was actually a little lost now.

He Ding, who was a little lost, stood at the door of the drunken tower for a while, and he decided to go to the yamen.

......

In front of the Yamen of Guangliang County, two columns of catchers stood neatly on both sides of the gate, each with a white cloth wrapped around their heads. Two people hammered and blew suona, and one walked out of the yamen with a wooden sign with the word "dian" written on it, and people on both sides sprinkled paper money into the air as they walked. followed by the county commander Ma Youfu, followed by the chief secretary and other adjutants, and at the end of the queue were several people carrying a wooden coffin, and the scene was quite grand.

At first glance, I thought that some dignitary had died.

"It's a good job. ”

He Ding stood at the top of the wall not far away, watching this scene, and smiled slightly. Ma Youfu was in the team, walking a little unsteadily, his face was not very good, and it seemed that he had not recovered from the threat in the morning.

In this way, a huge funeral procession set off from the Yamen. Yellow paper money fluttered in the sky, like thousands of butterflies, and many people gathered around the street, all speculating about which big man was in this coffin, so that the yamen could give him a funeral.

"Chen San should be happy if he sees it. He Ding thought.

He Ding followed the funeral procession for more than an hour and came to a cemetery near Guangliang County. There is a wider field of vision, and He Ding can't continue to get closer, otherwise he will be discovered, he watched from a distance as everyone carried the coffin and buried it in the soil.

It wasn't until the coffin was completely buried in the soil, and Ma Youfu kowtowed three times in front of the tomb, that he stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief, he took out a handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and prayed secretly in his heart, "I have already given you a good burial, but don't come to me." ”

As for why Zhang Feng was buried thickly, only the master book understood the reason at this time. For the sake of face, this matter can't be said explicitly, but other people who don't know the truth have a lot of resentment because of this, obviously an ordinary person, and we have to go to such great lengths to bury it, is there something wrong with the county order's brain?

One morning not long after, the county magistrate Ma Youfu was found unconscious in an alley, with several purple-black stick marks on his head, but fortunately he was rescued. However, after the upper part of his head was healed, the whole person became demented a lot, and he was finally dismissed from his official position.

That's an afterword.

......

Early the next morning, at the gate of Guangliang County.

Chen San came to the city gate with the package in his arms, and was relieved to see that there were only one or two officers and soldiers stationed there.

"How long have you been waiting?" A familiar voice came from behind him, Chen San turned around, and a young man in black was walking towards him.

"He Shaoxia!" Chen San saw that it was He Ding, so he greeted him with a smile, "I also just arrived." Can He Shaoxia's matter be done?"

"That's it. He Ding nodded, he hesitated for a moment, and decided not to tell Chen San about Zhang Feng's burial. He was afraid that Chen San would be nostalgic for this place and refuse to leave, causing trouble in vain, "Where are you going to go next?"

"I Chen San has no worries in this life, I plan to travel the world, see more of life, and see more of the scenery. The world is big, and the four seas are home. Chen San said calmly.

He Ding remembered something and said: "If you go north and pass by Anyang County, remember to go to He Mansion to help me report my safety, just say that I am safe and sound, don't worry about it." ”

Chen San nodded and said, "I must keep this matter in mind, but He Shaoxia, do you want to stay in Guangliang County?"

He Ding was slightly stunned, he hadn't thought about this issue carefully.

"Why didn't He Shaoxia go back to Anyang County with me? Shaoxia, you went out at a young age, you must have missed your family very much, right? If you are with me, you can be regarded as a companion on the road. Chen San said.

Chen San's words touched the softest place in He Ding's heart.

Yes, it's been a year since he left home, and he didn't want to miss his family and friends, and he didn't want to go back to see it. If He Ding goes back, with his current skills, there may not be any opponents in the entire Zhao Kingdom, and it will not be easy to be a martial champion or a martial arts alliance leader or something when the time comes. At that time, he will not only be famous, but also let his family enjoy glory and wealth, what's not to like?

But if he goes back, he may not be able to break through the Enlightenment Realm for the rest of his life.

But if he can't reach the Enlightenment Realm, what difference does it make to mortals? With his strength in the middle stage of foundation building, it is enough to sweep away an army, and it is meaningless to cultivate again.

As long as you go back, everything you should have will be there. The life that He Ding didn't dare to imagine before will become a reality.

He Ding can reach heights that others can't reach, he can leave a strong mark in Zhao Kingdom and even the entire mortal world, he can make himself famous in history, and let future generations revere him forever. After his long sleep, there will already be countless people reminiscing about his past and singing about his life.

However, does He Ding really want these things?

Seeing He Ding's hesitant look, Chen San smiled slightly and said, "There is a broken immortal bridge three miles away, I will wait for you there." If He Shaoxia figured it out before the sun set, he would come to me. If I don't come, I'll be gone. ”

He Ding nodded, I don't know what's going on, Chen San's calmness and open-mindedness today made him feel a little surprised and unfamiliar.

Chen San bowed deeply to He Ding, and then silently turned to leave. He walked through the gates and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

......

As the sun set, He Ding was lying on the roof of a house looking at the sky in a daze.

He thought about it from the morning until now.

"To go or not to go?" He Ding muttered to himself.

Looking at the clouds dyed red by the sun on the horizon, like a flame burning, He Ding couldn't help but think of various experiences in Niuqi Mountain.

It's good to go back.

But in the eyes of powerful cultivators, mortals are just a swarm of ants. I went back, but it was only the bigger one among the ants. When they lift their feet, they can trample a swarm of ants, big or small. Dominating the martial arts? That's just a joke, and for He Ding, it's the most ironic.

When you go back, can you really satisfy your heart?

He Ding recalled the scene of eating a corpse for the first time in the cave, that silent and crazy night, and he really wanted to be strong from the bottom of his heart, wanted to control his fate in his own hands, and wanted to no longer be manipulated and bullied.

A roar that came from the deepest part of the throat at that time.

At that time, follow the most primitive flame of desire in the heart.

Forgot?

Can't forget.

He Ding was silent, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he rolled over from the roof.

He's going to Niuqi Mountain.

......

Guangliang County, three miles away from the fairy bridge.

Chen San leaned on the bridge pillar, looked at the sun that was gradually swallowed by the earth, and said to himself: "It seems that he is not coming back." ”

The last rays of the setting sun shone on Chen San's face, and I saw that his face suddenly began to change slowly. All at once the hair grew to cover the eyes, the bridge of the nose became high, and the chin grew a lot of stubble. The whole person also became a foot taller, and the original linen clothes became a somewhat tattered cloak.

"Ah, but that's what I expected. The middle-aged man touched his chin and said.

With a movement of the man's fingers, the entire Broken Immortal Bridge began to become ethereal and illusory, with ripples on the surface. After a few moments, the entire bridge was gone, and only a thick single log remained.

The man also disappeared into the air with the Broken Immortal Bridge.
