Shonan Castle has a long history, and its folk customs have been simple since ancient times, and it has survived several generations of wind and rain. This city sits in the north and faces south, is in the main road of transportation, and is a place where soldiers must fight.

Qi Yuanshan and Huo Xiaofan rode a horse and followed the team into the city in a car, although there were guards at the gate of the city, they could see that the relationship with Fengyun Fort was delicate, and no one came up to ask.

Huo Xiaofan had never seen such a big city, and he looked at the walls of this southern Hunan city so high, especially when it was dark, he felt like a huge creeping beast. But through the hole in the thick city wall, it is like entering another world, a colorful world. Look at this wide and clean blue brick street running through the entire Shonan City, this street can accommodate at least eight horses in parallel, and the street is lined with all kinds of shops, inns, and wine shops. Although it was already night, there was no desertion on this street, and there was an endless stream of men, women, and children on the street, caravans, and sedan chairs. In order to attract business, many large storefronts are hung with various lanterns, showing brilliant lights and bustling. Huo Xiaofan was in a child's state of mind after all, and he poked his head out of the car window a little to see that he was too busy and dazzled. The horse team passed through another place, and this place was even more lively, almost all the shops on both sides of the street were decorated with lights, red lights hung high, and downstairs and upstairs stood a lot of grease and powdered girls talking and laughing there.

When the martial artists of the Xu family rode by, it caused a little sensation, and the girls on the city tower on both sides saw that they were riding horses more clearly, and they all greeted each other. Some said that Brother Li came back so soon, and some said that Brother Zhang couldn't pretend to be invisible, and he didn't return the baby last night. . . The shouts and shouts of these bold girls drew the laughter of other girls. The martial artist of the Xu family was a little embarrassed when his name was called, but it was difficult for the castle master and the guests to speak, so he could only bow his head and be silent, and the martial artist who was not named was laughing and watching the excitement next to him. Xu Jingyu, the lord of Fengyun Castle, didn't care, he rode a tall horse, with a slight smile on his face, and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, after all, such a prosperous city was built by himself in the past ten years. He believed that the famous Heavenly Sword Sect Qi Erxia behind him would also admire his achievements.

Huo Xiaofan didn't know what these places were for when he was young, so he asked the mother-in-law of the Xu family: "Mother-in-law, these places are so lively, what are the places for sale?" The mother-in-law's face sank: "Don't ask around, this is not a place where good people go." Huo Xiaofan was so frightened by her mother-in-law's attitude that she stuck out her tongue, and the mother-in-law also found that she was a little too excited, and then said softly: "Anyway, don't go to these places in the future, you know that our young lady's husband often goes to these places to fool around, and he died before he was twenty-five years old. Huo Xiaofan nodded as if he didn't understand.

The horse team walked for a while and finally stopped in front of a big house, Huo Xiaofan got out of the carriage and was immediately shocked by the momentum of the house in front of him, only to see that this house has a high door and a high threshold, a wide wall and a big house; there are four big men standing on each side of the door, each of them is carrying a big knife, holding a lantern in his right hand, the lantern on the right is written "Xu", and the lantern on the left is written "Fengyun Castle". He looked to both sides again, and perhaps because of the darkness of the night, the walls on both sides looked boundless, and he didn't know how big the courtyard was. In fact, this Fengyun Castle is not only a large design but also quite promising, it looks like a circle surrounded by high walls from the outside, and it is a square building from the inside, and it wants to be square inside and outside the circle. The easternmost part of the castle is connected to the castle wall of Shonan Castle, where the warriors and soldiers of Fengyun Castle live, and the gate is on the south side, where the departments responsible for communication with the outside world are deployed. On the west side is where the lord of the castle conducts business and welcomes guests, and these rooms are also equipped, and on the north side is where the lord of the castle lived.

Qi Yuanshan and Huo Xiaofan were arranged in a guest room of the highest level, which was a separate courtyard, although it was not big, it had everything. The brothers and sisters of the Xu family warmly invited the two of them to participate in the family banquet together, but they were rejected by Qi Yuanshan, his reason was that his nephew's health was not good enough to participate in the large-scale banquet, so as not to spoil everyone's interest, and he was not at ease when he was left alone in the house, so he had to go. Xu Jingyu is a scene person, seeing that Qi Yuanshan doesn't want to join in the fun, it is not difficult to force others, but he must find an opportunity to feast them, and immediately asked the best doctor in the city to come over to diagnose Huo Xiaofan's pulse and prescribe medicine, and ordered the kitchen to make a few light dishes and send them to the small courtyard. Qi Yuanshan couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw Xu Jingyu being so enthusiastic and meticulous, and he even thought that his sister's heart was brought by Xu Jingyu's brother well.

Not to mention the banquet set up by the Xu family to welcome Xu Meijing back, just talk about the two men in this small courtyard, chatting together after a simple meal. Qi Yuanshan has always wanted to have a good chat with Huo Xiaofan, especially if he didn't take care of him before, he inevitably felt a little guilty in his heart. He looked at Huo Xiaofan's appearance, and subconsciously saw the similarity between his eyebrows and Bi Yunsheng, and said, "Do you remember what your mother looks like?" Huo Xiaofan shook his head blankly and said, "I can't remember, I don't have any impression at all, before my grandfather told me the truth, I always thought that my parents were seriously ill and died." However, my grandfather said that my mother was known as the first beauty in martial arts at that time. ”

"Well, there was such a saying at the time, you can't remember what your parents looked like, maybe because you were too young at the time, you seemed to be only two years old at that time. Qi Yuanshan sighed, and he continued: "Actually, it's okay for you to call me uncle, it's okay to call me uncle, it's not an exaggeration for your grandfather to say that I am your only relative in the world before he died." When your grandfather died of illness, your grandmother brought your mother to our house to join her. At that time, your mother was about seven or eight years old, because my father inadvertently saved the family teacher once, although he didn't know any martial arts, it was also a coincidence, so the family teacher came to our house every few years as a guest, he first thought that I was a martial arts material and wanted to accept him as an apprentice, and later found that your mother's potential was also very good, so he wrote a letter recommending her to go to the Emei school to learn art. At that time, my father was obsessed with martial arts and admired his master very much, so he agreed to send us all away to learn art and get ahead in the future. Your mother is very intelligent, well-behaved and quiet, and was soon favored by the head of the Emei faction at that time, Master Jingyi, as a lay disciple who closed the door, and can afford to pass on the truth. Speaking of the future, Qi Yuanshan remembered some things from his childhood, and a smile appeared on his face.

"What about my father?" Huo Xiaofan always felt that there seemed to be something unpleasant between his father and Qi Yuanshan...

"Well, your father is my junior brother, the seventh apprentice of the family teacher, and your sixth master is two years younger than your father, but he started half a year earlier. Speaking of your father, he should be the favorite of the seven apprentices of the family teacher. Although he was the latest to apprentice, he studied hardest and most seriously, and coupled with his natural intelligence, he soon caught up with us. At the time, we didn't understand why he worked so hard, and later we learned that he had already taken on the revenge of destroying the door at that time. Did Grandpa Du tell you this?"

Huo Xiaofan thought of his father and thought about his heart for a while, and replied: "Well, I said it in general, but it wasn't very detailed, just that my father got revenge later, and he also killed all the enemies." ‘’

"Alas, he studied art in Tianjian Mountain for ten years, and he also suffered a lot, and one day he suddenly told his master that he was leaving Tianjian Gate and going alone. We were all stupid at the time, because since ancient times, we didn't take the initiative to leave the teacher, it was a deviant event, and it would be spurned by everyone, and the family teacher knew his character better and didn't let him go down the mountain too harshly, and then your father learned martial arts separately, which should be the ancestral mastery of your Long family, and finally took revenge. Qi Yuanshang stopped when he said this, and he didn't mean to say any more.

Huo Xiaoshan's face turned red and said: "In this case, don't I have the face to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect to learn art again, after all, my father betrayed the master back then, what is the matter with me going here... “

When Qi Yuanshan saw Huo Xiaofan like this, he stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, let's talk about the future and the past." I came to pick you up this time at the behest of your master, who is your ancestor, and he has never forgotten your father's master-apprentice affection, and asked me to teach you a set of swordsmanship that I had just created. ”

"Really, is it your kung fu to defeat those demons of the Demon Sect?" Huo Xiaofan saw Qi Yuanshan's divine skills before, beating those demons of the Demon Sect and fleeing in a hurry, and he was very psychologically worshipped, and now he knew that he might be lucky enough to learn and could not believe it.

"Heavenly Sword Sect has gone through a hundred years, and there are too many martial arts that can be learned and used, and they are as vast as stars, enough for you to learn for a lifetime. But Xiao Fan, what I want to tell you today is that the way of martial arts and martial arts cannot be used only as a tool for revenge.

Those of us who learn martial arts should always keep the righteous path in the world in mind. The purpose of learning martial arts is to improve one's ability, and the other is to use this ability to eliminate demons and defend the way, hoe the strong and help the weak. And you can't just learn martial arts for revenge, if you learn martial arts, you will take revenge and kill people, so it is easy to go to the outer path of evil demons and fall into the demon world. ”

Huo Xiaofan listened to Qi Yuanshan's words, and suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed to him, Qi Yuanshan was startled, and hurriedly helped him up and asked, "What's wrong with you, why did you suddenly give me a big salute."

Huo Xiaofan's eyes moistened and said: "Uncle Shi, I understand what you mean, but my parents were killed by others, and my grandfather was also killed by the Demon Sect. ”

"Alas, too. Those demon cults and demons who harm people are punished by everyone, these people still can't be let go easily, let them go, think they are killing a lot of good people, but you have to promise that in the future, no matter how far you practice martial arts, you will not be allowed to kill a good person. Qi Yuanshan knew that the hatred he had had in several lifetimes could not be resolved immediately, so he could only follow him.
