After walking through four main streets, Xu Qingmu finally arrived in front of the child huddled in the doghouse.
The charcoal-like little girl immediately ran forward, hugged her brother, and cried in a low voice: "Brother, wake up, brother, a big brother said he would take us to eat." The toes in inappropriate shoes
Exposed outside, the traces of frostbite still remain.
The curled-up boy slowly opened his eyes and stretched his head out from the kennel. Through the moonlight, Xu Qingmu could clearly see that although the boy was very thin, his eyes were full of energy, especially the red sword-shaped mark in the middle of his eyebrows.
Dazzling. When the child, who was only six or seven years old, saw the person coming, he tightly guarded the blue-black long sword behind him, with a wary look on his face.
Xu Qingmu sighed:
"A member of the Ye family?"
The girl hugging the little boy immediately raised her head warily, with complete despair in her eyes. If the person in front of her was also an enemy of the Ye family, then the boy in her arms who was called her brother would definitely die.
Ye Family, Jianzhong.
To say that this place has the largest number of sword cultivators in the world and the highest number of swords, the Ye Family Sword Tomb deserves to be the first. Every hundred years, a twelve-level sword cultivator will definitely emerge from the Ye Family Sword Tomb. Therefore, even in the Great Xu Dynasty,
I also have a deep respect for the Ye Family Sword Tomb. As one of the Shanggong Academy, the Ye Family behaves arrogantly and domineeringly, which has led to the current situation, with enemies all over the world.
According to legend, all direct descendants of the Ye family will receive a sword attendant personally selected by the family when they are three years old. A secret method is used to extract a ray of the sword attendant's soul and carve it into the soul of the sword master, and continuously feed the sword master. As a sword attendant, he also
You will get feedback from the master, and your cultivation level will be greatly improved. This is one of the reasons why the Ye family can rise so quickly.
Another reason is that the Ye family's biggest reliance is the Sword Burial Field.
The reason why it is called the Sword Tomb is that after everyone named Ye Jianxiu dies, they will bring their swords back and bury them in the Ye Family Sword Burial Field. Especially those swords that have spirituality, combined with the magic circle of the Sword Burial Field,
This way, their spirituality will not decrease, but will increase dramatically with each passing day. When the next batch of Ye family disciples reaches the age of five, the family elders will take the disciples to the Sword Tomb, and the sword spirits in the sword burial ground will actively select them.
From then on, the sword will assist its master in this life until death.
Legend has it that someone spent a lot of money to forcefully break the restrictions and break into the Sword Burial Ground in an attempt to gain recognition from the sword spirits. However, due to their low qualifications and lack of the unique secret skills of the Ye Family Sword Tomb, the entire Sword Burial Ground was filled with tens of thousands of sword spirits.
At the same time, he was furious, and the person who sneaked in was stabbed through the heart by a random sword and died.
Since then, people in the world have become more afraid of Jianzhong.
Xu Qingmu looked at the little boy with eyes like a tiger cub in front of him, took a step back, stretched out his hand and said: "My name is Xu Qingmu, and I can be considered a sword cultivator."
Then he took out the remaining five cents and slowly placed it on the ground: "I don't have any extra money with me. It's not much, but it should be enough for you to buy a meal of steamed buns."
Watching the young man in front of her slowly put down the coin, the girl slowly lowered her guard, but did not let go of the young man in her arms.
Xu Qingmu thought in his heart that this girl should be the boy's sword attendant.
Looking at the girl who was no more than ten years old, Xu Qingmu slowly exited the alley and left the master and servant. The Ye Family Sword Tomb has always been domineering. It is better to do less than to do more. It is better not to have this kind of incense love.
The competition between the old beggar and Li Chengru finally ended with Wen Sheng sighing. Old Li looked down at his crotch and cursed bitterly: "You are a boneless thing, no wonder you don't have a strong backbone."
The old beggar held up his trousers with a smile. It was rare that he did not take advantage of the victory and said a few words jokingly: "I am willing to admit defeat and cash in."
Li Chengru reached out and touched the jade pendant. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he said, "Do you really want to do such an outrageous thing? You know how serious the consequences will be!"
The old beggar who won the peeing competition slowly tied up his trousers. Maybe he had used too much force just now, and a few drops fell on his hands, so he rubbed it back and forth on his dusty trousers and said:
"Since I was twenty years old, I have touched the threshold of the Tenth Realm. Before I was thirty, I was undoubtedly the best swordsman in the world. At the age of forty, I entered the Twelfth Realm. Empress Yuqiu said that I might be seventy once in a hundred years.
People who are expected to enter the Thirteenth Realm!"
Mentioning inspiring people always makes me excited.
"Hey, brother, do you know what this means? The number one man in swordsmanship is expected to break through the human realm and break through the sky to soar!"
The old beggar seemed to have recalled the glorious past and kept rubbing his hands.
"But later, Empress Yuqiu came to me and told me some secrets that no one in the world would believe or believe. She asked me to take good care of the little prince who was about to be born."
Li Chengru interjected: "Empress Cao arranged the lie of premature death from the beginning?"
The old beggar spit out thick phlegm and glanced at Li Chengru:
"Yes, they took the initiative to disclose the birth time and arranged for the midwife to accept it in advance, all in order to let the concubine surnamed Ye know that the queen has long been aware of their despicable tricks."
"After the little prince was born that night, Empress Cao asked me to take the little prince and flee the palace directly, and endured it in Funiu Town for twelve years. During this period, she secretly ordered people to tell Lin Xiao secretly not to watch too much, so that he could
Just stay alive.”
Li Chengru was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was playing chess with his own son. What a big deal! Who was Empress Cao playing against?
Seemingly seeing Li Chengru's doubts, the old beggar laughed at himself: "Do you think my life is still that valuable now? So what if it disappears into ashes, so what if I will never be reborn. Compared with the millions of living beings in this vast world, it is not worth anything.
Lift it."
The old beggar's expression became depressed for a moment, and he murmured: "I just feel sorry for the little prince."
Li Chengru nodded: "I can't see Xu Qingmu's future clearly. It's hazy and chaotic. The only thing I can see is the collapse of the world and the wailing of millions of creatures."
But then Old Man Li asked a question: "Can't we wait until you step into the immortal realm?"
The old beggar scratched his crotch, turned to Li Chengru and said:
"Empress Yuqiu said, no."
Then he said:
"I believe her."
-------------------
Xu Qingmu walked out of the alley, but the little girl secretly caught up with him and followed timidly.
"Is there too little money to buy buns?" After staying in the mountains for a month, I really don't know how high the local prices are. It's just that when I was in Funiu Town, a bun cost only a penny. I was thinking here.
Not bad at all.
The little girl shook her head, as if she had hesitated for a long time. Looking at the boy in front of her, the little girl finally mustered up the courage to say: "Brother, I believe you are a good person. I believe you also know that I am a swordsman."
The girl raised her head with tears in her eyes: "My master knows that he will not live long, but he wants me to live. Therefore, my master asked me to beg you to help him."
Xu Qingmu was stunned. Since ancient times, if a person dies in the Ye Family Sword Tomb, the sword attendant must die accordingly. The Ye Family Sword Tomb will find the place of death based on the soul fragments of the sword attendant, retrieve the sword, and bury it in the Sword Tomb. I have never heard of this before.
I said this happened.
Xu Qingmu looked into the girl's eyes and expressed his doubts: "It's not that I won't help you, it's that I really don't know what to do."
There was pain in the girl's eyes, not because she would die, but more like she felt sorry for her sword master. The girl gripped the corners of her clothes with her hands and whispered: "My master said he has a way, as long as he has
One person presides over the magic circle, and the more powerful he is, the better."
Before Xu Qingmu could say anything, Li Chengru's voice came over:
"A house that accumulates good deeds will always be happy. I am willing to help with this matter."
When a group of three people stood in front of the little boy, the weak boy was unable to stand up. From beginning to end, the boy did not say a word, but slowly handed the sword out from behind, and put both hands in front of Xu Qingmu. The sword trembled.
, seems reluctant to give up.
"Take good care of it for me, the name of the sword is Chou Li." The boy finally said the first sentence, and then added: "Promise me to take good care of her too."
Then, without waiting for the girl to cry to stop him, the boy who had already handed out the sword gritted his teeth, bit his finger resolutely, pressed it to the center of his forehead, held Xu Qingmu with his other hand, and shouted to Li Chengru: "Array, start!"
As the young man continued to hold his palm hard, Xu Qingmu's vision went dark, and then the whole world disappeared. In his consciousness, which was as white as a lake, a girl in white clothes with a delicate face said:
