sword city
Under the dim and quiet night, monks came in and out of the city in twos and threes. An old man with a stooped body and a snow-white goatee walked slowly into the city, holding a wooden stick in his hand.
Inside the shop, there was a hunched-over man holding a lantern. There was a red spot the size of a thumb under the corner of his left eye. The white-haired old man in cloth was about to close the door when a wooden stick came in and got stuck in the crack of the door.
With his eyes closed tightly, the old man who looked like a blind man stood outside the door and said: "I have traveled here and don't have the Origin Stone on me. I wonder if I can stay here for the night?"
The old man holding the lantern raised his eyes and looked at the people outside the door, and said with emotion: "Qiu Lu, Qiu Lu, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to become like this."
The old man named Qiu Lu slowly opened his old eyes. He was not blind! However, his blood pupils were particularly penetrating.
Qiu Lu smiled and said: "Old man Zhenshi, stop talking about me, you won't be much better."
Zhen Shi pushed open the door, and Qiu Lu walked into the room unceremoniously. A pair of blood pupils glanced at the various Origin Stones on the wooden shelf, and said, "You are still the same as before. You like to ponder these Origin Stones."
Zhenshi laughed and said, "I heard that your granddaughter is back and has brought you an amazing grandson-in-law. I'm very envious of that."
Qiu Lu found a wooden stool and sat down, with a proud smile on his wrinkled face and said, "Now you know you are envious? What did you do when you were young?"
"Alas! It's okay not to talk about it. It's okay not to talk about it." Zhenshi picked up a golden stone from the wooden shelf and said, "I have loved this stone all my life. I have neglected too many things. I will leave no descendants for future generations." , it would be a pity for an apprentice to have no apprentice."
Zhenshi put the golden stone back to its place and said sideways, "I helped your grandson-in-law. You have been in the house for so long, why don't you even know how to say thank you, huh?"
Qiu Lu put the wooden stick in his hand aside, and then said: "Let someone thank you for helping me. I didn't ask you for help. Tell me, you are nosy."
Zhenshi put the lantern in his hand on the table and said: "You have been indifferent to fame and wealth in your life and don't care about anything. I am different from you. When I see such a unique talent, I inevitably want to help."
Qiu Lu looked at him and said, "I'm not talking about you. It's too late for you to know your way back now."
Zhenshi grinned and said: "I'm old and don't want to move anymore. Let's see fate. If there is a fate, it will be passed on. If there is no fate, you can't force it."
Seeing that Qiu Lu was silent, he asked with a smile: "What are you doing in Jiancheng this time? Isn't it just to see a bad old man like me?"
Qiu Lu said meaningfully: "I'm here to save people, and I'm here to see your old friend."
"Save people?" Zhenshi laughed out loud instantly, shook his head and said, "You don't even save your own son, why would you want to save others?"
Qiu Lu answered naturally: "My son has great ambitions and does not want to put aside his fame and fortune and return to the mountains and become an idle man. Why should I save him?"
"Besides, even if I don't take action, won't he still be alive and well?"
Seeing Zhenshi's silence, he said intentionally: "The Western Continent is still the same Western Continent, but this person...is not the same person as before."
Zhenshi also understood what he meant and said: "Those who are not of my race will have different minds. If this continues, within five years, the Western Continent will no longer be the Western Continent."
Qiu Lu asked with interest: "Can you sit down?"

Living? "
Zhenshi slowly spread his arms and said: "I'm not sitting here properly, but you are the one who came all the way to Jiancheng. Who knows who can't sit still?"
Qiu Lu smiled and shook his head without saying anything more.

Youcheng
Ghostland
Ziyang came outside Huxiong's tent, and just as he was about to raise his hand to open the curtain, he heard snoring. He slowly retracted his arm, stood there for a moment, then turned and left.
Guan Yue, who was sitting on a wooden chair studying herbal medicine, heard someone outside the tent and looked at the curtain with doubt. After a few breaths, Zi Yang opened the curtain and walked in.
He looked puzzled and said: "Didn't you go to find Tiger Bear? Why did you come back so soon?"
Zi Yang sat on the wooden chair opposite him and said casually: "Don't mention it, he hasn't rested yet, so I didn't bother him."
Guan Yue looked at the light blue and dark blue herbs in front of him and joked: "If you don't bother him, come here and bother me."
Zi Yang said with a smile: "Just continue to study these herbs. I will just sit here and watch without saying anything."
"Forget it." Guan Yue put away the herbs placed on the table and said, "I'm usually used to studying herbs alone, but suddenly someone is sitting here, and I have no idea."
Zi Yang stood up and said, "Then let's go out for a walk?"
Guan Yue spread his hands and said helplessly: "Let's go, go for a walk and see if we can find some new herbs."
The two of them had just walked out of the big tent and were about to leave along the mountain road when Xiaoliu's voice came: "Huh? Where are you two secretly going?"
As she spoke, she clasped her little hands behind her back and walked towards the two of them slowly.
Zi Yang and Guan Yue looked back at her. The former smiled and said, "Let's go out for a walk. What's wrong?"
Xiaoliu snorted, nodded and said, "So we were going out for a walk. I thought you two were going to elope."
Guan Yue immediately said: "We are going out to relax openly."
Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Just in time, I have nothing to do now, can you two take me with you?"
Zi Yang said intentionally: "You are here, but if we don't agree, will you definitely go back?"
Xiaoliu raised his face, smiled proudly, and urged: "Since you know, why don't you leave quickly?!"
Er Zhuang and Wu San, who were guarding outside the large tent of Tong Ming and Death Abyss, saw Zi Yang and others leaving.
Er Zhuang was very surprised and said: "It's so dangerous outside, where are they going?"
Ever since Wu San brought Hu Xiong's words to him last time, he no longer had any doubts about Zi Yang.
Wu San, who was sitting on the ground, said casually: "Brother Tiger and Bear trusts them very much, so let's not worry about it so much."
Seeing Er Zhuang lowering his head and saying nothing, he deliberately reminded: "Brother Tiger Bear was very angry last time, which shows that he trusts the man wearing the clown mask. I'm sure that if you say something wrong about him, Brother Tiger Bear will definitely I’ll scold you.”
Er Zhuang wanted to tell Hu Xiong, but after hearing Wu San's words, he gave up the idea.

In the big tent where Ke Kai lived, Zhan Ren, who was wearing black half-sleeves, sat on a wooden stool with his legs crossed, while Ke Kai sat opposite him in a more reserved manner.
Although this was his own big tent, he had heard a little bit about the strength of the broken blade, so he behaved very well.
Kekai
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He picked up the wine bottle on the table, stood up and poured a glass of wine for Zhe Ren, and then filled it for himself. Then, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and said: "Brother Zhe Ren, come here, I'll give you a drink." .”
"Brother Kekai is too polite." Although Zhe Ren said so, he did not stand up.
Kekai didn't care either. He put down the wine cup in his hand, sat on the wooden chair and asked with a smile: "I wonder why Brother Zheren came to this place?"
Zhe Ren said casually: "It's no big deal. I have a treasure here. I wonder if I'm interested in it?"
Kekai secretly thought after hearing this, hum! Have treasure? You have treasure and you have gone to get it a long time ago, why would you tell me?
He had already guessed that Zhan Ren had evil intentions, but he still asked happily: "Treasure? Brother Zhe Ren, where is the treasure?"
Zhe Ren said: "In the mountains not far away, I heard that a group of people obtained three-color stones and several single-color stones."
Kekai pretended to be puzzled and said: "Brother Zheren, don't you have any idea about this three-color stone?"
Zhe Ren deliberately put on a sad face and said: "I won't hide it from your brother. Duan Po is currently competing with that tiger bear, trying to save Tong Ming and Death Abyss. If he has time, I won't I’m here to give you a gift, brother.”
Ke Kai was a little confused: "Brother Zheren, you have also seen that my team only has about a hundred people, and they are all weak. Is this possible?"
Zhe Ren vowed: "Don't worry, brother, I've long heard that someone is going to seize the treasure. Let them clear the way for you. When the time comes, don't you want to take the three-color stone and single-color stone? "
"There's just one thing. After you receive the benefits, don't forget about me."
Kekai immediately said: "Brother Zheren, don't worry! If I can easily obtain the treasure, it will be indispensable for me, brother."
Zhe Ren stood up with a smile and said, "Since Brother Kekai has agreed, I will take my leave."
"Brother Zheren, please go slowly. I will send you off not too far away, little brother." Kekai sent Zhebian out of the camp. Until Zhebian's figure disappeared under the night, the corners of Kekai's mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Zhe Ren came to a dense forest. At this moment, Zhui Jing and Duan Po were already waiting for him.
After seeing the two of them, he took a few steps quickly and glanced at Duan Po, who was sitting on the boulder with his arms around his chest, and the fallen mirror leaning against the tree trunk.
Luo Jing saw the smile on his face and said first, "Looking at you, you must have figured him out."
Zheren said: "That boy Kekai is not easy to deceive. Although he promised me, I think he is just pretending. I'm afraid he won't fight with Tiger Bear."
"Unless you can give him hope."
Duanpo said with a calm face: "Listening to what you say, we can't count on that Kekai."
Zhe Ren blinked slightly and frowned: "I can't say for sure, but there is a high probability that he will not be like those desperadoes."
Luo Jing walked towards Duan Po, stopped beside him, and said, "If Ke Kai refuses to help, then we have to find more people. Otherwise, I'm worried that they won't be strong enough to fight."
Zhe Ren was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "I remembered a person. We may be able to persuade him, but we can't take the three-color stone."
After seeing the expression on his face, Duan Po and Sui Jing revealed a mysterious smile on their deeply confused faces. Duan Po stood up from the boulder and said, "Let's go."
