"Could it be that the predecessor withdrew from the rivers and lakes after that time?" Yan Lin suddenly realized, although he was still surprised in his heart, his face had already regained his calm, and he arched his hand towards the old man, at this time, he had to admire this old man a little, the names of chasing souls and chasing life had never been heard at all, but these two people could fight on the edge of Taihu Lake for a day and a night in the West Gate, which was definitely not something ordinary people could do.

Gradually, Yan Lin faintly had a trace of expectation in his heart, this old man's name is Soul Chasing, then, the Soul Chasing Sword Technique found on a line of incense is definitely related to this old man, maybe it is the sword technique he used when he fought Ximen Blowing Snow in the past, if so, as long as he works hard in the future, it will be easy to become a top master.

"Yes, my brother and I, since that day, have since retreated to the mountains and forests, and have never set foot in the rivers and lakes again, this valley is the place where my sworn brother and I pursued our lives in seclusion, but unfortunately, his life was short, he had a serious illness, and died a long time ago."

The old man said lightly, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Yan Lin stood in place and didn't speak, because at this time, the old man was obviously thinking about the past, and he must be thinking about something related to his sworn brother, just like that, it took a long time before the old man recovered.

After pondering for a moment, the old man took a deep look at Yan Lin, nodded slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and said to Yan Lin: "You go to the wooden house to help me get something, it is a long wooden box, hidden under the bed in a room, you can break the floor in the middle, dig a foot into the ground and you can see it."

"Okay, I'll go, senior, wait a while" Yan Lin was slightly stunned, and then agreed, but he was a little puzzled in his heart. Does the old man want to give himself something?

Out of the cave, Yan Lin went straight to the wooden house, he now wanted to know what the old man wanted to take for himself, and it was very likely that the old man would give the things he took out, what was it? Could it be a martial arts cheat? However, his soul-chasing sword technique had already been obtained by himself, so what else could he give himself? Could it be money?

I thought about it for a long time. Yan Lin couldn't think of a reason, and in the end he could only give up, and soon, he came to the wooden house, and looked at the room where he had seen the blood in it before, and he knew in his heart that the room that the old man was referring to was definitely that room, and the blood stains in it were probably the old man. The old man's tendons and tendons may have been cut off in that room.

Who is so cruel, is it a line of incense? However, a line of incense can defeat that old man? That is the top master who once fought Ximen Blowing Snow!.

Yan Lin's mind intersected in all sorts, and he kept scrutinizing the ins and outs of the matter. He wanted to know what was going on here, what was the relationship between the old man and the first line of incense, and why the old man hated the first line of incense so much. He still remembers that when he carried the corpse of a line of incense into the cave, the old man stared at the eyes of a line of incense, and that kind of look was really terrifying. It's just a tear.

"Forget it, don't think about it, as long as you take something, things will be clear soon" Yan Lin shook his head, and then went straight into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Yan Lin found the kitchen knife he found earlier, this kitchen knife can be used to split the floor and dig up the soil, and with the kitchen knife, Yan Lin came to the house where he was startled before, at this time, he was no longer afraid, because there was no death here, and these blood stains were just the old man who was cut and flowed out.

"It should be here"

Came to the wooden bed in the house, Yan Lin held the kitchen knife in one hand, and opened the wooden bed violently with the other, the wooden bed was not very heavy, and it was overturned by Yan Lin at once, without hesitation, Yan Lin walked directly to the middle of the bed, squeezed the kitchen knife, and then slashed down.

Five minutes later, a long wooden box appeared in Yan Lin's line of sight.

"This should be the long wooden box that the old man said" Yan Lin was slightly happy, and quickly took out the wooden box, just wanted to open it to see, but he suddenly put his hand down, this thing The old man just let himself take it, and didn't say to give it to himself, if there are any hands and feet on it, open it without permission, and the old man will definitely know at that time.

Thinking of this, Yan Lin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly said that he was still not cautious enough, and he was a little carried away, not that he was afraid of any hidden weapon in it, but he was afraid of missing an opportunity that should have belonged to him, because he knew that the more he cultivated as a master, the more he liked to test a person's character, if his character was not good, it would save the master's life, and the master would only give some money and the like in return, and would never teach his own proud mastery.

"I'm still too careless, I must not make this mistake again in the future!"

Yan Lin said with a firm expression, how bumpy the road to the rivers and lakes is, he knows very well in his heart, chance will not find you every time, you need to grasp it yourself.

Holding the box, Yan Lin quickly left the wooden house and went straight to the cave, and soon, he came to the old man, put the wooden box in front of the old man, and then said: "The wooden box that the seniors said, but this thing, according to your instructions, is exactly what the juniors dug out under the bed!"

"Yes, I didn't mistake you, you didn't open this box, come to think of it, you must be an upright person, or a loyal and honest person" The old man first glanced at the wooden box, then nodded with satisfaction towards Yan Lin, and said: "If you don't come back just now and leave with the contents of this wooden box without permission, you will miss a big opportunity!"

"What kind of opportunity?" Yan Lin was slightly stunned, looked at the old man and asked, although he had no expression on his face, he was startled in his heart, and the secret path was really like this, fortunately he didn't open it.

"You open the box first, and when you see something, I will naturally sue you"

The old man smiled mysteriously, and then stopped talking, just looking at Yan Lin quietly.

"Good!"

Yan Lin nodded, and then slowly walked to the edge of the wooden box, although he looked like he was going to open the box, in fact, the corner of his eyes never left the old man's every move, he didn't know what the old man was, so he had to be careful.

Soon, Yan Lin's hand had already touched the wooden box, but the old man did not make any movement. At this time, Yan Lin was really confused, and said secretly, could it really be that he had misunderstood him? Glancing at the wooden box under his palm, Yan Lin was stunned in his heart, could it be that there was a hidden mystery in the wooden box, and a hidden weapon was shot out? .

Thinking of this, Yan Lin suddenly became cautious, but he didn't show anything unusual. He first pretended to check how to open the wooden box, and then seemingly unintentionally placed the wooden box at a different angle, so that the side of the wooden box was facing him, and only then did he grasp the bottom of the box with one hand and break the lid with the other.

"Bang dang!"

Surprisingly Shun lì, the lid of the box was opened by Shun lì, and it was normal without the slightest accident, and after a slight pause for three seconds, Yan Lin was completely relieved. I smiled bitterly in my heart, no martial arts is not good, and I must be wary at all times.

Raising his hand to put the lid of the box on the ground, Yan Lin looked into the box with wide eyes. I saw that there were two things inside, the same pure white sword, the same blue thread-bound book, and nothing else.

Seeing this, Yan Lin was a little surprised. Hurriedly asked the old man, "Senior, what is this?"

The old man's expression froze, staring closely at the long sword in the box. As if reminiscing, I saw him mutter: "The sword is called the life-chasing sword, it is my brother's side-worn weapon, there are no less than a hundred famous masters who died under this sword, it is a high-grade divine weapon, it and my soul-chasing sword are a pair of blades, which I and my brother obtained by accident in a no-man's mountain stream, in addition, we also got a secret book at that time, called soul chasing life, which is a top-level swordsmanship cheatbook."

"Soul chasing life, senior, the cheats in this box are soul chasing life?" Yan Lin looked at the old man tightly, he was very surprised, he saw the word life on the books in the box clearly, thinking of the soul chasing sword technique he obtained, it is conceivable that the soul chasing sword technique has long been divided into two halves by the old man.

"That's right! This cheat is indeed a life-seeking sword technique" The old man nodded and replied to Yan Lin in one bite.

Yan Lin glanced at the old man, his eyes were a little erratic, and he pretended to be unintentional and said: "The predecessor has divided the Soul Chasing Sword Technique into two, why are you doing this? Could it be that you don't want the complete Soul Chasing Sword Technique to fall into the hands of other people?"

"Of course not!"

To Yan Lin's surprise, the old man actually vetoed Yan Lin's idea in one bite, and after sighing, the old man slowly explained: "It's not that I intend to divide the complete soul-chasing sword technique into two volumes, and it's also not my younger brother, just because the soul-chasing sword technique is actually a double-sword sword, if you want to practice the double-sword sword, you must have the skill of both hands, this ability can't be practiced at all, you can only rely on nature and chance to comprehend."

"Twin Sword Sword Technique! So, senior, you have never practiced a complete Soul Chasing Sword Technique?" Yan Lin's face changed greatly, it was too amazing, the Soul Chasing Sword Technique actually required a person who was proficient in both hands to successfully cultivate, so in this way, the power of the Soul Chasing Sword Technique was beyond his imagination! .

"Not bad! I and my brother don't, the two of us each choose the upper half and the lower half, with the soul chasing sword and the sword of life diligent day and night, many years later, the two of us finally achieved the swordsmanship, although it is not a two-handed swordsmanship, but I and my brother cooperate with each other, the swordsmanship on display is also invincible, my brother and I are beggars, never looked down upon, so, we use the name of their respective swords as their own names, meaning that we want to start a different life again, and then we challenge everywhere, the opponents are prominent figures in the rivers and lakes, at that time too young and vigorous, as long as we defeated the opponent, will be mercilessly killed, and finally because of this, my brother and I have become the big devil and the big villain that everyone talks about in the rivers and lakes overnight!".

The old man's expression was a little ugly, his face became extremely pale, and he was silent for a long time, and he suddenly said to Yan Lin with an extremely serious expression: "Little brother, you killed a line of incense, and now the soul-chasing sword technique must have fallen into your hands, you don't have to worry, I don't mean anything else, besides, I am a waste person now, what's the use of asking for these things? So, I want to give you all these things, I hope you can revive the prestige of the soul-chasing sword technique back then!"

"The seniors want to give these things to you?" Yan Lin was slightly stunned, although he had already guessed in his heart that the old man would hand over the cheats and long sword to him, but at this time, he seemed a little overwhelmed, and even, there was a trace of embarrassment in his heart, after all, a line of incense was not killed by him.

"I have an oath first. So, you don't have to mind, besides, I am willing to give it to you, your character is good, in the rivers and lakes, there are really not many loyal people like you" The old man said with a serious face.

Yan Lin didn't expect him to be such a person in the old man's heart, so he immediately arched his hand and said, "In this way, thank you seniors for now, what do you have to tell now." I do it under all means."

"Yes! I have two things that I need your help with, and I hope you must do your best to complete them" The old man's expression was a little solemn, and then he continued: "After my brother and I went into seclusion here, we buried our respective swords and cheats in a long wooden box, until one day, my brother actually suffered from a terminal illness, which has no cure, and can only survive by taking a large number of rare medicinal materials, which are very expensive. So I secretly dug up the wooden box I buried without my brother, and sold the soul-chasing sword to a shop called Jucai Pawnshop, I want to ask you. It's to help me get back the Soul Chasing Sword, I know it's difficult, but I still hope you can do your best."

The old man looked at Yan Lin pleadingly, and his eyes were full of longing. Seeing this, Yan Lin's heart softened suddenly.

"Seniors don't have to be like this, just do your best. Also, what is your other thing?" Yan Lin said.

"Okay! it's not in vain that I've spent so much time talking about you," the old man nodded with satisfaction, and then suddenly his face changed, and he said in a very heavy tone: "As for another matter, I want to ask you to kill me!"

"Kill you? How can this be, is it possible that the seniors are going to fall into unkindness and injustice?" Yan Lin was taken aback, he didn't expect the old man's second request to be such a result, it was really unexpected.

Although Yan Lin was unwilling, the old man said very excitedly: "Little brother, you must kill me, do you know that I am better off than dead now!" For several years, I have been trapped in this cave, hungry every day, can only gnaw on the grass here to survive, fortunately there is a small puddle in the corner of this cave, every day there is a water source dripping down, which allows me to survive to this day, I insist on living only one purpose, that is, I want to see Wang Xiaoliu die in front of me, now that he is dead, I can go with peace of mind."

"Senior, what is the relationship between this Wang Xiaoliu and you, why do you have such a deep hatred for him?" Yan Lin glanced at the first line of incense on the ground, and he knew that this line of incense was Wang Xiaoliu in the old man's mouth.

The old man stared at the corpse with a line of incense on the ground, his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, and he wanted to eat his flesh raw and drink his blood, and then said: " Wang Xiaoliu was originally a servant I adopted ten years ago, he was only thirteen years old that year, my original intention was to let him take care of my brother when I went out, and do laundry by the way, but who would have thought, within a few years, after he gained my trust, he dared to poison the food, Baidi was weak, and he was killed on the spot, although I escaped, but after I was unconscious, I found that my tendons and hamstrings had been broken, and the person who did this was Wang Xiaoliu, you say, should I hate him?".

"There is still such a thing, it's just that it's better than a beast!" Hearing what the old man said, Yan Lin was completely shocked, it turned out that there was such a story in the big dragon set of a line of incense, it was really impossible for people to look good, and the sea water could not be beaten.

The old man closed his eyes extremely helplessly, and then opened his eyes again and said: "After Wang Xiaoliu broke my hands and feet, he also forced me to ask me about the whereabouts of the cheats and weapons, fortunately he didn't know that my brother also had weapons and cheats, in order to save his life, I told him my cheats, and the pawnshop of the weapon pawn also told him, but it was not easy to redeem the soul chasing sword, I pawned a thousand taels of gold at the time, if there were no two thousand taels of gold, I couldn't redeem it at all."

"Senior, when did you pawn the Soul Chasing Sword, but within these ten years?" Yan Lin asked with a blink, this question was that he suddenly thought of it, if the time of the old man's pawn was a long time ago, it would be difficult to say, maybe the pawnshop that gathered wealth would have closed down a long time ago.

"Twenty years ago!" said the old man.

Yan Lin couldn't help but think about it after hearing this, it shouldn't have been so easy to go out of business twenty years ago, in this way, the pawnshop should still be in a certain city, but where it is, he still can't think of a reason, and there is no mention of the pawnshop on TV.

"By the way, how did I forget the first line of incense, he practiced the soul-chasing sword, then he must also want to redeem the soul-chasing sword, only in this way, his swordsmanship can be greatly enhanced, he has followed the old man's side ten years ago, then he probably knows where the wealth gathering pawnshop is, in this way, what he lacks most should be the ransom, by the way, why did he kidnap Zhu Qiqi? Is it to extort ransom?"

Yan Lin suddenly realized, as soon as the martial arts officials opened, a line of incense appeared, his target was Zhu Qiqi, watching TV before, Yan Lin was surprised why a line of incense kidnapped Zhu Qiqi for no reason, just because he wanted to pick flowers, but he didn't expect it to be for money.

After figuring it out, Yan Lin felt more and more that this was the reason, what kind of person is Zhu Qiqi, she is the daughter of Zhu Fugui, the richest man in Fenyang City, and the friendship between Renyi Villa and the Zhu family is not ordinarily deep, the three principals of Renyi Villa, Leng Da, Leng Er and Leng San are all masters in the rivers and lakes, who would think that he would offend the Zhu family and Renyi Villa for a long time?
