Arrived at Linyuan Town, Lian Jue led Dong Chengwen and a few people forward, the carriages and horses and pedestrians were bustling, it can be seen that Linyuan Town is prosperous, Lian Jue pointed to the carriages and horses on the road and said: "Most of these are engaged in herbal medicine business, do you know, Linyuan Town relies on a canyon, called Qianyuan Gorge, the canyon is bottomless, no one knows how long it is, the canyon is rich in herbs, I don't know how many medicine pickers collect medicine in the canyon, I don't know how many years have passed, and I don't see that the herbs produced in the canyon have become less. Feng Chuan listened and said: "Qianyuan Gorge, I have also heard of it in Shangyuan City, in the future, I will go to the canyon to explore and see how deep and long this canyon is!" Lian Jue: "I heard my father say that there was once a Gang Qi Realm martial artist who went to the canyon, but after that Gang Qi Realm martial artist came out, he couldn't tell how deep and long the canyon was. Shaoqu: "Gangqi Realm martial artists, they are already the most powerful among the martial artists, one day I will also become a Gangqi Realm martial artist, and then I will also come to this Qianyuan Gorge to explore!" Lian Jue listened to Shaoqu's words and returned: "Shaoqu, you said that you are a member of the Flying Eagle Gang, and you worship under the second sword sect of the Lingyun Sword Sect, there are many Gangqi Realm martial artists in the Lingyun Sword Sect, and you will become a Gangqi Realm martial artist like your master in the future." Shaoqu: "That is, the Lingyun Sword Sect is very famous, and no matter how many people ask for it, they can't get in." Lian Jue: "My father also once got me a place to enter the Lingyun Sword Sect and spent a lot of money, but I wasn't used to the rules of the Lingyun Sword Sect, and I didn't like to practice martial arts, so I didn't go." Speaking of this, Lian Jue pointed to a house on the side of the road and said, "This is my home." Dong Chengwen and the others looked in the direction of Lian Jue's finger, it was just an ordinary house, and a plaque was hung above the gate, and the word "Lian Zhai" was written on the plaque.

Lian Jue walked in front, and before he entered the door, a person ran out of the door and said to Lian Jue: "Second son, you are back, go and see the master, the master saw the return of the two guards, but he didn't see you and was about to die, he had already sent someone out to find you, fortunately, you returned safe and sound." Lian Jue: "I'm going to see my father, these people behind me are my friends, you can say hello." The man listened to Lian Jue's words and replied: "I will never neglect what the young master has explained." Lian Jue: "Then I'll go see my father now" Then Lian Jue turned to Dong Chengwen and said, "I'll go see my father first, and I'll come to you later." Dong Chengwen: "Father and son are like this, which is enviable. Watching Lian Jue leave, the man said to Dong Chengwen and the others: "A few distinguished guests come with me first, I'll take a few to rest, my name is Ah Sheng, what can you call me." ”

When I entered the gate of the house, I realized that the house covers a wide area, and after entering the door is a large courtyard, in which there are four guards wearing leather armor and hanging long knives on their waists. Then Ah Sheng took Dong Chengwen and a few people from a side gate in the courtyard into another small courtyard, Ah Sheng arranged Dong Chengwen and a few people in a room in the small courtyard, and after a while, Ah Sheng asked someone to bring hot water and send towels to Dong Chengwen and them to tidy up their appearance.

After Dong Chengwen and the others tidied up their appearance, Ah Sheng prepared snacks and tea for Dong Chengwen and the others to enjoy. It wasn't until dinner that Ah Sheng came to invite Dong Chengwen and a few people, saying that the owner of the house wanted to see them.

Dong Chengwen and a few people followed Ah Sheng out of the small courtyard, turned two corners and came to a side hall, and when they arrived outside the side hall, Ah Sheng stopped and said: "The master is inside, a few distinguished guests are invited." ”

When I entered the side hall, I saw a round table inside, and there were four people sitting at the round table, and Lian Jue was among them. Seeing Dong Chengwen and a few people coming in, a short, fat middle-aged man with a red face sitting at the round table stood up and said: "There are a lot of miscellaneous things, I couldn't meet a few little friends earlier, and I made a few little friends wait for a long time, please forgive me." I am the head of the Yuancao Chamber of Commerce, and even the owner of the house, Lian Yaocheng. Before Dong Chengwen could reply, Lian Yaocheng continued: "The wine and food will come up immediately, you should sit down first!" Dong Chengwen and the others listened, thanked them, and sat down in turn.

As soon as Dong Chengwen and the others sat down, someone came up with wine and food. At this time, Lian Jue pointed to the thin middle-aged man sitting beside him and said, "This is a martial artist invited by the Yuancao Chamber of Commerce, named Bi Wangqi. Bi Wangqi saw Lian Jue introduce himself, so he smiled at Dong Chengwen and the others. Then Lian Jue pointed to the thin middle-aged man beside Lian Yaocheng and said, "That is also a martial artist invited by the Yuancao Chamber of Commerce, and his name is Corpse Emperor. After Dong Chengwen and the others entered the side hall, the corpse emperor was sitting expressionlessly, and seeing Lian Jue introduce himself, the corpse emperor was still expressionless.

During the banquet, when Bi Wangqi knew that Shaoqu worshiped under the second name of the Lingyun Sword Sect, he said: "Shaoqu, I once studied martial arts in the Lingyun Sword Sect, we can be regarded as the same family, we will have to get closer to each other in the future." Shaoqu listened to Bi Wangqi's words and returned: "Senior brother, this is as it should be. "The corpse emperor knew that Bi Chaoqi was not a casual person, and today he saw that Bi Chaoqi was so enthusiastic about Shaoqu, and he couldn't help but look at Shaoqu twice.

After the banquet, Dong Chengwen said goodbye, and Lian Yaocheng greeted Lian Jue to send Dong Chengwen and a few people, and then left with the corpse emperor and Bi Wangqi.

Lian Jue sent Dong Chengwen to the door, and at this time, Ah Sheng ran out of the door with a wooden box and said: "Mr. Bi said that when I saw Senior Brother Shaoqu for the first time, I gave Senior Brother Shaoqu a water ginseng, which can quickly recover physical strength when I am tired from practice." Seeing Lian Jue nodding, Ah Sheng handed the wooden box to Shaoqu, who took the wooden box and said to Ah Sheng: "Thank you Senior Brother Bi for me." Ah Sheng heard this and said, "I will definitely bring the words," and Ah Sheng turned and went back.

As soon as Ah Sheng left, Lian Jue handed a small bag to Dong Chengwen, Dong Chengwen didn't answer but asked, "What is this?" Lian Jue: "I promised you a hundred taels of silver, I thought the silver was too heavy, and I exchanged it into ten taels of gold by myself." Seeing that Dong Chengwen was still reluctant to reach out to take it, Lian Jue said: "One hundred taels of silver is a small amount of money for me, but you are as kind as a mountain when you save me!" Dong Chengwen listened and took the bag in Lian Jue's hand. Seeing this, Lian Jue said: "Your journey back to Shangyuan City is long, and I won't delay you anymore." If you have time, I welcome you to my home. Dong Chengwen: "Thank you for your hospitality, farewell!"

Watching Dong Chengwen and the others leave, Lian Jue opened his mouth and shouted: "Feng Chuan!" Dong Chengwen and the others turned around, Feng Chuan opened his mouth and said to Lian Jue: "Is there anything else about Lian Gongzi?" Lian Jue: "I know that you have been learning martial arts at home, or you come to me, I will not treat you badly, nor will I treat you as a subordinate, I only treat you as a friend!" Feng Chuan: "This, I have to go back and ask me Dong Shengbo." Lian Jue: "Okay, I'll wait for you at home for half a month." Feng Chuan: "Okay, if I Dong Shengbo agrees, I will definitely arrive within half a month." ”

Dong Chengwen and a few people went towards Shangyuan City, and before they left Linyuan Town, three people came in front of them, and the people who led them saw that Dong Chengwen and a few people hurriedly hid behind the two people behind. Nian Hong saw that the person was dodging, but he recognized it at a glance, isn't that person the master Zhao. Nian Hong shouted: "Shi Juezhao!" The person who was hiding was Shi Juezhao, and seeing that he had been recognized by Nian Hong, he simply stood up and walked in front of Dong Chengwen and the others and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet here again." Dong Chengwen didn't know Shi Juezhao, and when he saw Shi Juezhao, he asked, "Are you?" Shaoqu and Shi Juezhao had secretly learned the martial arts of the Lingyun Sword Sect together, and he was afraid that Dong Chengwen would know, so Shaoqu said: "This is a friend I met in Shangyuan City before, named Shi Juezhao, I can see you again in Linyuan Town this time, just say hello." Dong Chengwen didn't ask much after hearing this. When he saw this, he said, "Seeing that you are on your way, I will take my leave." Shaoqu: "Next time we meet, I hope to have a drink together." "Certainly, definitely." ”
