In the quiet and dark night, everything was so peaceful, and no one came to spoil the rare peace.

Xie Tong used his perception to search the entire street. After a while, he felt a splitting headache, compared to the spirit felt that his cultivation was too low, and his understanding was not enough, so it was difficult for Gu to maintain this state for a long time. He put away his spiritual sense, afraid to listen with flat ears on the roof of tiles.

After a while, the sound of clothes sounded, and a black shadow stood where he had just hesitated to think, Xie Tong suddenly felt that this spiritual sense was too powerful. The man in black stood in place, watched for a moment, and walked in the direction of Xie Tong, although Xie Tong couldn't see his face clearly, but he knew that he must be a master of tracking, and his martial arts skills were good.

The man in black slowly walked to the tiled house where Xie Tong was, and instead of continuing to walk, he stopped. He let out a long sigh and said, "Xie Tong, I know you're nearby, show up!"

Xie Tong didn't react at first, so as not to deceive the other party, but the other party continued, "Come down! I saw you, crawling on it like a turtle, how embarrassing." Where did the limelight go when the martial arts competition just now, is it difficult to be a turtle with a shrunken head?"

Xie Tong recognized him, this person was Huo Zixin who had just fought with him.

Xie Tong did not hesitate and jumped directly from the roof. Surprised, "You have night vision? Heh, it's rare!"

Huo Zixin said lightly, "What's the use of night vision eyes, night vision eyes are powerful, and they are not as powerful as Brother Xie's perception, Brother Xie can find out that he is tracking below, it is indeed good." There was a hint of sourness in his words.

Xie Tong didn't know why Huo Zixin followed him, but it was certain that the other party had no malicious intent, and he said tentatively, "The competition is over, what does it mean that Brother Huo is following?

Huo Zixin looked up at the starry sky and said in a low voice, "Why did you let me just now, you can obviously win?"

Xie Tong said, "How can I say this, what I Xie Tong lost is obvious to all, and I am convinced, it seems too villain for Brother Huo to continue to entangle." ”

Huo Zixin said, "You don't have to lie to me, others can't see through your methods, but I, Huo Zixin, are clear, just now Brother Xie tapped me on the shoulder twice, if you use internal strength, it is enough to abolish Huo's shoulder, and Brother Xie not only did not do this, but also took a punch from me in vain, which made the little brother very puzzled, and his heart was full of guilt. When he saw that Brother Xie was holding a golden needle, he knew that Brother Xie's martial arts were superb above the younger brother, and it should be the younger brother who should be admired."

Xie Tong said: "Could it be that Brother Huo is following me just to repeat the matter?"

Huo Zixin was busy." Brother Xie misunderstood, before Huo came to the Central Plains, he always held the mentality and idea of defeating the martial arts masters in the Central Plains, in fact, Huo also did this, until after the martial arts competition just now, Huo Mou understood a truth, martial arts is purely an external behavior, for people, the inner cultivation is more important, there is a body of martial arts and no morality, the heart is full of dirty thoughts, it will only lower the lower limit of martial arts, and will eventually be controlled by the martial arts method, Brother Xie's actions made Huo see through this truth, Huo was grateful, and he chased after him。 ”

Xie Tong didn't expect that his plan would move such a person who had no one else besides martial arts, and even he felt ridiculous about it, but Huo Zixin's earth-shattering words also benefited him a lot, combined with the spiritual sense he had just touched, as if he had found a new way in martial arts and entered a new space, he had to re-examine the true meaning of martial arts.

Xie Tong said, "It turns out that Brother Huo's understanding is so high, Xie has been taught, but unfortunately Xie has something important to do, so he can't talk with Brother Huo, Xie will definitely ask for advice in person another day."

Huo Zixin suddenly laughed, he laughed for a long time, and then said, "Xie Tong, don't you even know how to lie?" The younger brother has been with you for two hours, from the Lama Temple to the post house, and when he arrives at the Hongfu, Brother Xie has nothing but kissing me and the beauties, not to mention that I have been wandering around this deserted street for a long time, do you still want to find the girl? Ha, Brother Xie is really blessed, sitting on two beauties, it is really enviable. ”

Xie Tong's old face flushed, he was not good at lying, he couldn't imagine that the first time he lied, people would see through it, but fortunately, it was night, and the other party couldn't see his face. He hurriedly said, "Brother Huo, don't talk nonsense, otherwise people will hear it and misunderstand it, the younger brother is helpless now, and it will be a shame to be kicked out of Chang'an." He deliberately said this humorously to hide his inner embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, Huo Zixin didn't believe him, Huo Zixin smiled and said, "Brother Xie doesn't treat his younger brother as a friend, just at the gate of the Hong Mansion, Brother Xie can see Miss Hong Shan's actions clearly, how can Brother Xie explain."

Xie Tong was finally speechless, and he was no longer able to quibble.

Huo Zixin said, "Brother Xie doesn't need to panic, the younger brother has no malicious intent, to be honest, the younger brother wants to make friends with Brother Xie, I don't know if Brother Xie can trust it." ”

Xie Tong said in his heart that if he could really make friends with this person, it wouldn't be a bad thing, and he smiled and said, "Of course Xie can't ask for it."

Huo Zixin patted the burden behind him and said, "There is a good daughter red in the pot here, why don't you find a place to have a cup together!"

Xie Tong was worried about the lack of wine, and hurriedly said, "It's so good."

Huo Zixin took Xie Tong to a very large mansion, the courtyard was much smaller than the Hong Mansion, but it also looked similar.

Xie Tong said, "Whose house is this?"

Huo Zixin smiled, "Of course it's the younger brother's."

This mansion is located in the southern city of Chang'an, across the street from the courtyards of many princes and nobles. Although the yard is small, it is obviously worth a lot of money in Nancheng, where every inch of land is valuable.

Xie Tong said, "I didn't expect that Brother Huo would be able to mix to such a point not long after he first arrived in Chang'an, Xie really admires it."

Huo Zixin said: "It's all earned by the little brother's gambling on horses." ”

Xie Tong walked around the yard, he had always dreamed of having such a house and a decent home, but the reality was cruel, not only did he have no house and no home, but even his friends were about to become extinct. He sighed and didn't speak.

Huo Zixin looked at everything in Xie Tong and said, "Let's go into the house to drink, and talk while drinking."

Xie Tong drank three glasses of wine in a row before putting down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Good wine."

Huo Zixin took a sip of wine lightly and said, "In my confused life in the past, except for being obsessed with martial arts, I only like to drink in my own home to relieve my boredom, and nothing else. ”

Xie Tong listened interestingly and asked, "You don't like women?"

Huo Zixin said seriously, "In the past, Brother Xie asked me, and the younger brother definitely answered what a woman is all about, how can it be compared with my ideals and beliefs, but now the younger brother doesn't understand it that way, women are the driving force to realize ideals and beliefs, without women, ideals and beliefs are just empty words." ”

Xie Tong saw that Huo Zixin's analysis was the first to say, and he was also infected by the joyful aura released by Huo Zixin, and he said happily, "Brother Huo's words are extremely incisive and well understood, could it be that Brother Huo already has a girl who has seen the long-looking guard!"

Huo Zixin's eyes shot a look of grief and pity, and said, "That's what I said, it's just a pity that I met late, this girl is already famous."

Xie Tong sighed again, he only cared about drinking by himself, avoiding the thorny contradictions in his heart.

Huo Zixin suddenly said, "Brother Li, is it a friend as a junior brother?"

Xie Tong said, "This is natural."

Huo Zixin hesitated for a moment and said, "The little brother boldly spoke, according to the observation of the younger brother, Brother Xie seems to be Lord Wang's general on the surface, but he has a close relationship with Wang Wanru, unlike the relationship between subordinates and superiors, and Brother Xie has a grudge with Lord Taiwei, and he is at odds with King Huai, which really makes people unable to understand Brother Xie's interpersonal relationship." After tonight's dramatic changes, it is so difficult for the little brother to evaluate Brother Xie, and no one knows what you are thinking or doing?"

Xie Tong took a deep breath, he was shocked by Huo Zixin's rich thinking ability at the moment, indeed, what Huo Zixin said was Xie Tong's current real situation, difficult and embarrassing. He has been hesitating, can he trust Huo Zixin? But judging from his performance and speech and demeanor, he is indeed a bright and upright person, Xie Tong turned his heart sideways, he took a drink from the wine glass, and said, "What Brother Huo said is not bad, the younger brother is indeed struggling at present." Ha, there's not even a place to live. ”

Huo Zixin suddenly laughed and said, "To be honest, the younger brother can feel that Brother Xie was doing a complex and fierce ideological struggle just now, but at this moment, the younger brother is very relieved, Brother Xie finally treats me as a friend, I don't know why Brother Xie believes in me, a person who met in Pingshui." ”

Xie Tong also laughed and said, "With understanding, Brother Huo is practicing the Wutong Mind Method, and the induction is extremely wonderful, a person who cultivates such a supreme heart method and speaks the essence of martial arts should not be a despicable person."

Huo Zixin said, "Thank you brother for your appreciation, ha, the younger brother also admires Brother Xie very much, with Brother Xie's wisdom and martial arts, why not work hard for these rats in Chang'an City, why don't you break out of your own sky."

Asked by Huo Zixin, Xie Tong was also confused, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Xie Tong may be different from Brother Huo's pursuit, Brother Huo pursues the ultimate in martial arts, while the younger brother pursues the common people in the world, ha, I don't know if you understand this, my compromise is all for a purpose." ”

Huo Zixin carefully tasted Xie Tong's words, and said, "I can't imagine that Brother Xie's goal and mind are so broad, it is indeed admirable, if Brother Xie does not dislike it, the younger brother is willing to help, and is willing to pursue martial arts in the action of saving all the people in the world." ”

Xie Tong was overjoyed, he didn't expect to make such a powerful friend by mistake, the two of them raised their wine glasses and drank it all, and immediately laughed.

The two of them drank until the east turned white, and then they fell asleep drunk.

When he woke up, it was past noon, Xie Tong felt extremely thirsty, his head was groggy, and the alcohol last night anesthetized his brain.
