"Oh, junior brother, how can you contradict the master, you are cautious in your words and deeds on weekdays, how can you be so reckless today, I really don't know what to say about you!" Lei hated Li Yuanqing helplessly, he originally maintained this little junior brother who was silent on weekdays, and he didn't want this little junior brother to contradict his most respected master today, and he was inevitably a little conflicted and depressed in his heart.

"I think Master has always been informal, so I don't need to pay too much attention to it. Shen Yao shrugged and said with an indifferent look.

"There is no need to make this senseless speculation, let's hurry up and eat and prepare to rest, today's matter is nothing more than because of the problem of everyone's martial arts, only everyone hurry up and practice hard for the remaining three months, everyone was selected by the branch together, and won glory for the Iron Sword Gate and the master, and the master was naturally angry and happy. Zhao Lin said sincerely, and everyone felt that it was very reasonable, but no one refuted it.

Zhong Bao stood up lightly, stared at Li Yuanqing, and said word by word with a gloomy face: "Master is right, you can kill when you fight with the same door, I like such an opponent, I remember your words, you must hurry up, otherwise after three months, one mile out of this mountain gate will be your burial place." “

"I am not afraid, even if I have never killed a person, not even a pig, not a dog, or even a duck, but as long as I hate a person, my courage is like that of a butcher, and I only think about life and death. Li Yuanqing still didn't look at Zhong Bao, and still talked about him left and right.

Zhong Bao stopped talking, because at this moment it seemed useless for anyone to say more, Zhong Bao had to return to his room with hatred, but he couldn't sleep.

Ding Pei finally finished the food in his bowl silently, and walked back to his room quietly alone.

In an instant, there was only Fu Bo and Aunt Fu whispering in the dining room.

The night was full, the night of early winter was still short, the top of the mountain was very cold, and the quilt was very thin, even if it was a young man like Li Yuanqing, he seemed to be a little unable to endure the cold.

Li Yuanqing tiptoed out of the Wuma Pavilion alone, carrying a big iron sword, wanting to go to the foggy little bamboo forest to practice swordsmanship.

The small bamboo forest is very small, but the horizontal and vertical measurement is only a small bamboo forest of three zhang, the fog at night on the top of the mountain is very thick, except for the sun after the hour, there is no way to drive away this heavy fog.

On top of a cyan stubborn stone in the bamboo forest, there was a person standing at some point, with his back to Li Yuanqing, and his tall back was a little scary.

"Who?" Li Yuanqing asked loudly, emboldening himself.

"Haha, we meet again. A familiar voice, the back slowly turned around.

In his early fifties, there is a slight gray between his eyebrows and temples, but his momentum is extremely domineering, it is none other than Li Yuanqing's long-lost benefactor Lao Yutou, the mysterious old Yutou who likes to fish giant salamanders, and the old Yutou who is not afraid to tame the vicious giant salamander on the riverside.

"Grandpa Yu, I finally see you again. Li Qingyun knelt on the cold ground, with mixed feelings in his heart, including gratitude, the joy of suddenly seeing the deceased, and the grievances of long-suppressed and sudden seeing of relatives.

The old man jumped down from the bluestone and helped Li Yuanqing up, "I have lived in seclusion on the bank of the Baishui River for many years, and I can't understand that the demon can't break the shackles, that day the town because of your family's sudden accident, but it also made the old man break the hypocrisy of many years, and finally regained the confidence to hold the sword, after leaving Wude Town, the old man went to find the old man back then, only it is my most loyal partner." “

"Grandpa Yu, have you ever found your old friend?" asked Li Yuanqing with concern.

"Found it, my old friend's name is fish intestines. Old Yu said.

"Fish intestines?" Li Yuanqing was confused.

"Actually, I don't have the surname Yu, because my old buddy Yu Gu is famous, so my friends on the rivers and lakes also like to call me Lao Yu Head, but in fact, it is not Yu surnamed Yu, but a fish with fish intestines and swords. “

"Fish intestine sword!" Li Yuanqing finally understood that the so-called old guy of Lao Yutou was actually a sword, a sword called fish intestines.

"You don't easily mention the matter of the fish intestine sword and me in front of people, it will not be good for you. Old Yu Tou still said cautiously.

"Grandpa Yu is a hero of the rivers and lakes, and Yuan Qing has never shown off in front of people about the past, but he must not be able to hide it from his master. Li Yuanqing knew that this old man could easily enter the Iron Sword Gate with one sentence, and the only and only one of the Iron Sword Gates in Nanguang County must not be a person who was afraid of Master Zhao Keming, so he deliberately said tentatively.

"The old man is not a man who sells fame and reputation, the old man is not a hero, just a swordsman who goes with his heart, Zhao Keming, this kid naturally knows me, but I don't bother to pay attention to him, this kid has a lot of things, how can I talk elsewhere, I came to look for you tonight not just to catch up. Lao Yutou said casually, but it also confirmed what Li Yuanqing thought in his heart, Master Zhao Keming, who called for wind and rain in Nanguang County on weekdays, was just a sparse and ordinary person in front of Lao Yutou.

"Grandpa Yu, the grace of reinvention is unforgettable, and I asked Grandpa Yu to teach me some real skills, now I am among the same family, Yuan Qing is also a low-class end, I have been sneered at by the white eyes, I am really unwilling in my heart, and I can't bear to damage the reputation of Grandpa Yu's façade. Li Yuanqing fell to his knees again.

Old Yu shook his head and sneered and said: "Zhao Keming didn't teach you anything else, but he taught you the kung fu of grinding your mouth! When I lived in seclusion in Wude Town for many years, Lao Li's family was kind-hearted, and they took care of my old man many times, so they naturally wanted to help you. Lao Yutou remembered the past of living in seclusion in Wude Town in those years, and the people and rivers and lakes were really like a world apart.

"Thank you Grandpa Yu, will I come here every night in the future to wait for Grandpa Yu?" asked Li Yuanqing.

"This time I came to look for you, it was just for you, and there are still three months before the envoys of Nanming Li's Fire Sword Department will go to various counties and factions to select new disciples with good qualifications, with your current achievements and your potential, don't say three months, even three years, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter Nanming's Fire Sword Department." Old Yu didn't pay attention to the expression on Li Yuanqing's face at all, Qing was white for a while, ashamed and resentful, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

"You don't have to be depressed, people live in the world, all the achievements and fame, and there is not only martial arts, you can choose, choose to become a literati, work hard for the Golden Palace to win the championship, choose to become a merchant, and continue to accumulate wealth for the sake of becoming rich in the world, you can choose a lot of things. Old Yu said.

"Grandpa Yu, aren't you here to repay my Li family's kindness tonight? Aren't you here to teach me some true skills?" Li Yuanqing was already angry in his heart, but more at a loss, if it was really like what Lao Yu said, he suddenly gave up this road of self-improvement, this road of revenge, then what is the meaning of the rest of his life?

The town is a hundred miles away, but at this moment, it seems to be in the distance, and his mind is gradually alienated, because he can no longer return to his hometown, and he can no longer return to the place of shame, and loudly tell the people in the town that Li Yuanqing does not need to kneel, he is already ten thousand enemies, and he can finally stand and live leisurely, however, at this moment, he is really getting farther and farther away from the illusion in his mind, because this martial arts path will not work after all, and he will not be able to become a person in the world after all, and he will not be able to become the so-called ten thousand enemies after all.

Li Yuanqing finally bowed his head, accepted his fate, drooped his head, and turned around and walked towards the road he came from in despair. Many times, the way to come is not necessarily the way back, Li Yuanqing found the way to come, out of the only small grass path in this small bamboo forest, when the frost grass is green, at this moment there is only a place of silver frost, and there is no tenacious grass at all.
