"Old man, it turns out that you are neither deaf nor dumb. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The light in the old man's eyes did not decrease but increasedβthe tide rose sharply! Although he had sat back down, he could not sit still a little at this time, and the two dry skins wriggled and moved. His attention was all focused on the sword in Guan Qianjian's right hand.
The sword was not sheathed. On the way from the other side, he tried several times, but he couldn't get it back, as if the sword had swelled in a short time.
"The old man must not be an ordinary person, he must have had an extraordinary past. Guan Qianjian said as he looked the old man up and down the ********, not at all aware of his gaffe.
He found that this old man was by no means different from ordinary old men, and even different from anyone, although his cheeks and the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, but the ruddy color that came out of the inside completely diluted the signs of aging, and his eyes were as clear as a baby, without a little turbidity, his beard was white and not unkempt.
Guan Qianjian couldn't help but think: "It turns out that old age is not terrible, and old people also have the demeanor of old people!"
"I warn you, don't ask about other people's affairs!" The old man's movement of raising his head was not very fast, but Guan Qianjian was still shocked by a sudden coercion. His heart sank, his steps stopped, his mouth closed, and his arms hung down like dead wood. The whole person seems to be frozen.
"Yes......" Under the other party's unrelaxed gaze for a moment, he squeezed out a word in a panic and not very neatly, and called the evil door in his heart.
The old man tilted his head back slightly, and threw out a sneer, as if he looked down on the young man's timidity. He said, "Boy, do you think you've picked up a treasure?"
Guan Qianjian said: "Do you mean this sword?" Listening to the other party's tone, it seemed that he had lost his eyes, but Bai Huan was happy. But its magic cannot be erased by anyone's words.
"You must be strange,ββ this is a treasure, isn't it?"
"Exactly, and far from being an ordinary treasure, it can increase a person's strength. But listening to the old man's tone, it seems that he has a different opinion. I'd love to ask Takami. β
"Haven't you heard? β
What this means is that a person incurs trouble because of his treasures. Think about it, what is the use of things that bring disasters and take people's lives, no matter how rare and precious they are? Then treasures will not become treasures.
"I still don't quite understand, can you make it clearer?" In fact, he immediately understood the other party's intentions: the old immortal has become ambitious! If a sentence does not explain anything, the old man's expression exposes everything. He pretended to be stupid just to stall for time, so that he could make decisions and come up with a solution.
"You really don't understand?" the old man seemed to be able to see into his mind.
"I kind of understand it now. Guan Qianjian's clothes were hunting, and his hair was dancing wildly, which made him awe-inspiring. He was ready for a desperate fight.
The sword made him show all kinds of visions again.
The old man's face changed several times in an instant: there was surprise, anger, sadness, sigh, envy, jealousy, bewilderment, and helplessness...... It took a long time to calm down. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get his hands dirty.
"I'll ask you again, why didn't you return the sword to its sheath?"
"I tried, but I couldn't send it back, it was as if the sheath had suddenly become smaller. He reminded himself that the reason why the old immortal asked this unrelated question must be to distract the enemy, so he replied calmly, but his nerves tightened.
"Do you want to know how to get it back sheathed?"
"Of course, otherwise it would be a hassle to carry an unsheathed sword. His tone was distinctly relaxed.
"Hmph," the old man sneered, "do you think I want to take this sword for myself?"
"Do you want to give him away?"
"Heh!" the old man laughed, "this newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, are you sure that you can defeat me?"
"It's not about defeating, I just think that against an old man, it's not a good victory, but if you lose, it's even more embarrassing. β
The old man nodded and shook his head: "This is very true and authentic. But it's a pity that you're facing me, and you're just a joke. Let me tell you, I have never failed in my life. Even if I have been defeated, my opponents do not dare to publicize it, because relying on more is the victory, and it is only a shame to say it. β
Guan Qianjian said: "Li Houde has never been defeated, in order to maintain this glory, he is willing not to leave the county for the rest of his life." β
On the side of the old man's tiger body, he suddenly turned his head to look at Dingguan Qianjian. He felt a great insult to love. The two thatched huts behind him were crumbling in the wind, and the green leaves on a date palm tree next to the house shook off and became bare in an instant.
Guan Qianjian's clothes and hair fell, and his majesty was lost. His heart was filled with fear, and he almost lost his autonomy. At this moment, his hand was empty, white light flashed, and heaven and earth were lost.
He didn't have time to shout, he didn't even have time to turn the thought of shouting, the heavens and the earth returned to their places, the wind behind the old man stopped, and the anger on his face gradually subsided, and he was replaced by a very depressed expression.
There was a long sword across his chest, which was Guan Qianjian's sword.
The old man stared at the tip of the sword and shook his head. "Hey, it's old after all. If you don't move it for twenty years, it's not as good as before, who said that the sword is not old?"
Guan Qianjian's sword was snatched, and he did not feel the slightest humiliation, on the contrary, he was very happy: Without superb swordsmanship, what is the use of a sword? If you can win a person with pure swordsmanship, why do you need a sword? And what is in front of you now is a good opportunity to learn peerless martial arts!
The old man squinted at Guan Qianjian and asked, "What is this sword compared to Li Houde and Zhang Houde?"
Guan Qianjian said excitedly: "To be honest, I didn't see it clearly. But if you like this sword, please take it......"
The old man ignored his last sentence and interrupted: "If you can understand my sword, it is not worth anything, do you know where this trick is?"
"Wonderful in a quick word!"
"It's a fart!" the old man didn't appreciate it, "In addition to being fast, you must also be accurate, if I am only fast and not accurate, I am afraid that you will already become blind." β
Guan Qianjian was confused when he heard this, but he was happy in his heart: Looking at him, he wants to instruct me, there are doors and doors! But what is the matter with saying that I almost became blind? Before he could ask, the old man continued: "I just cut off one eyelash in each of your eyes, you see, they are here." β
Guan Qianjian walked forward to look, but he was suspicious in his heart: "Brag, your knife has come into my eyes, can I not feel a little?"
The one lying on the sword is indeed the appearance of eyelashes, and it is really two.
The old man saw his intentions, snorted coldly and said: "Originally, this sword not only had to cut off your two eyelashes, but also to rip them up together, and even the hair follicles were connected together, but in an instant, I actually had the heart of gaining and losing: if I miss a little, let you be blind again before you die, won't my reputation in this life be in vain?"
Guan Qianjian exclaimed: "I have promised to give you the sword, why does the old man refuse to let me go?"
The old man said: "Although this sword is not mine, it is not your turn to do favors." But you don't have to know these things. In order for you to be blinded, I can tell you why I had to kill you. Because this sword can only be sheathed when it sees blood, and I am unwilling to feed it with my own blood, I have to take your drive and go to the bridge for a while. β
Guan Qianjian hurriedly said: "Let's do it slowly, I have something to say!"
The old man said: "You are so afraid of death, you use your blood to feed this sword, you are so wronged by it." What else do you have to say?"
Guan Qianjian said angrily: "Only your old man's blood is worthy of it, but it's a pity that you are unwilling to dedicate yourself." And I'm not stingy with death, I just don't want to die in vain. If you can return to the sheath by drinking blood, why do you have to die? Wouldn't it be okay to cut your wrist and feed it to its fullest? Do you have to kill someone to have a good time?"
The old man smiled and said, "I've killed countless people in my life, haven't I had enough fun?" Okay, you might as well try it and see if you can feed it if you cut your wrist." But I advise you not to suffer in vain, for if the blood of the living could calm the tears of this sword, there would not be so many unjust souls in the world who died in vain. My sword is fast, and I guarantee that you will die comfortably. β
Guan Qianjian said: "Give me the sword, I must try!"
The old man sneered: "Don't forget how this sword came to me, do you think you can beat the old man by taking it back? He threw his sword out and looked at the other man with contempt.
