"Huh? What are you doing? Why are you here now?"
Under the main peak of Sword Star Residence, a group of Sword Star Residence disciples gathered. One of them, Zhao Feng Er, saw an acquaintance and said hello, calling the visitor closer.
"Senior brother!" Someone in the group responded hurriedly, then quickened his pace and came closer, "Didn't he go down the mountain to do some errands a few days ago..."
Looking around, the visitor suddenly looked nervous: "Senior brother, what happened to Jianxingju? Why are all the fellows gathered here?"
"Junior brother, don't be nervous!" After comforting him, Zhao Feng'er suddenly became excited: "You don't know something! The third elder wants to select a few outstanding disciples to teach him swordsmanship himself!"
"Ah? Is there such a thing?" The visitor subconsciously glanced at the top of his head, and was a little surprised to see that the sun came out in the east.
After being surprised for a moment, another wave of annoyance came to his mind. If it weren't for the many things happening this time, how could they have missed this kind of thing?
Although he was unwilling to give in, there was no regret medicine that could solve the problem: "Senior brother, why didn't you see the third elder?"
"Alas!" Zhao Feng'er shrugged helplessly, "How did I know that this is already the third day, and the third elder has not even been here..."
"Really?" Compared to Zhao Feng Er's depression, the visitor was actually overjoyed.
…
In the courtyard, Lu Qingtan was leisurely drinking tea and taking a nap, bathing in the breeze.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard two footsteps rushing over: "Third Elder."
"Well, tell me...what's going on today?" Lu Qingtan asked lazily without opening his eyes.
"Back to Third Elder, today is the same as the previous two days. Nothing happened." The visitor said respectfully.
"Why hasn't this bad guy shown up yet? Could it be that God opened his eyes and let him die a violent death?" Lu Qingtan said to himself.
"Third Elder?" The visitor didn't hear clearly and asked hurriedly: "Third Elder, do you want me to send them away?"
"Why are you so anxious?" Lu Qingtan frowned, "As a disciple of Jianxingju, how can I have no patience at all and let them continue to wait! I don't believe this guy will never come out! Go, go! If there is nothing today Don’t come back to bother me again when it’s important!”
"Yes!" The two visitors hurriedly left after hearing this.
"Ouch! Could this rascal have returned to Taiyi Pavilion?" Suddenly, Lu Qingtan jumped up suddenly, "Oops! If that's the case, wouldn't the second sister be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth?"
Thinking of this, Lu Qingtan suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "No! I have to destroy that forged letter quickly!"
As he said this, Lu Qingtan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, unable to rest any longer, so he jumped up in a hurry and left the place in a hurry.
…
"My little friend, it seems things are really going to go as you said." After two days of rest, Mu Fengchun looked listless.
"Well, waiting like this is not an option. We can wait for half a day at most. If nothing happens, let's go to Wutu Cave..." Hearing this, Wu Fan thought about his next plan in his mind.
"Little bald donkey, what are you talking about there?" Bored, Mu Fengchun hooked up with Yuan Hua again.
"It's nothing." Yuan Hua withdrew his gaze from a distance and casually threw out a few words.
"Tsk, tsk, this mother is different. She worries about her child all the time." Mu Fengchun laughed and said teasingly.
"What the hell? Old liar! Stop talking nonsense!" Hearing this, Yuan Hua's face turned red and his eyes became evil.
"Little bald donkey, why are you so excited? I'm not talking nonsense, do you think so, little friend?" Mu Fengchun hurriedly formed a gang.
"Boss! The old liar has tainted my innocence! Please explain to him quickly!" Yuan Hua was not to be outdone.
"You two!" Wu Fan looked helpless, "We have something important to do now. Can you please sort out your priorities..."
The two of them could listen to what Wu Fan said. Although they were unwilling to accept it, they immediately calmed down.
"Alas! Don't blame me for being so noisy, little friend. It's been so boring these past two days. I haven't even seen half of the people in Sword Star Residence." Mu Fengchun yawned.
"Boss, have we been discovered by someone? No... If we were discovered by someone, Gulu's side should have been alert." Yuan Hua also echoed.
"Well, this matter is indeed a bit strange." Wu Fan nodded slightly, "Senior Mu, Yuan Hua, you two wait for me here first, and I will go deeper to investigate."
"Boss, let me go with you! It's good to have someone to take care of you on the way."
"Yes, little friend, the atmosphere in this Sword Star Residence is so quiet that it's scary to be intimidated. Multiple helpers can help prevent accidents! It's better for us to work together!"
On this topic, Yuan Hua and Mu Fengchun had surprisingly similar ideas.
"No need." Wu Fan immediately rejected the two's kindness and shook his palm: "With their help, I can escape immediately without any scruples even if I encounter danger. If I take you two with me, I'm afraid It’s hard to take good care of him!”
"That's true..." Mu Fengchun nodded, but didn't insist anymore, "Then little friend, please be more careful!"
"Boss! If you are in danger, just call for help. Gulu will listen to you the most and will rush to your side immediately!" Yuan Hua said.
"Okay!" Wu Fan nodded in agreement, "I have something to say beforehand. If I really encounter an ambush, you must leave me alone. I have plenty of ways to escape!"
Mu Fengchun and Yuan Hua looked at each other, and then nodded reluctantly: "If... I mean if, if an accident really happens, we will meet at the Earth Temple on the way here!"
After saying this, the others said goodbye, and Wu Fan hurried up the mountain road.
…
"Strange, why do these Sword Star dwellers seem to have disappeared from the world?"
At the beginning, Wu Fan was very cautious and just followed the direction of the stone path through the forest. But later, he walked confidently and boldly on the stone path without worrying about being discovered.
Wandering around the residence of the disciples of Sword Star Residence in the middle of the mountain, Wu Fan found that although there were traces of human activity here, these rooms were equally empty.
"There's no need to look for them, they're all down the mountain." Suddenly, a voice came from behind Wu Fan.
Wu Fan frowned and turned around hurriedly, only to see a Jian Xing Ju disciple appearing behind him at some point.
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm." The Jianxingju disciple grasped the scabbard of his sword, pointed the hilt of the sword outward, and bowed to Wu Fan in greeting: "Li Dingguang, I wonder if His Highness the Third Prince still remembers me? "
Wu Fan was a little surprised. He heard the other party's tone was familiar. Could it be that the third prince also had acquaintances in Jianxing Center?
Without confirming the identity of the visitor, Wu Fan didn't know how to answer for a while. Although he had the memory of the third prince, he was still very confused when it came to specific matters: "You...recognize me?"
"Of course I recognize it. His Highness the Third Prince's great kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by Dingguang and Hanguang! Please bow down to me!" As he said this, the man's knees weakened and he kowtowed to himself.
"This..." Wu Fan was a little confused and had no idea what was going on. Worried that this abnormality would be discovered, Wu Fan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Please get up quickly! If you have anything to say, let's talk in another place..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Third Prince. They have all gone down the mountain and will never come back before nightfall." Even so, Li Dingguang stood up in a hurry and took the Third Prince to the nearest room.
Looking Li Dingguang up and down, Wu Fan really couldn't connect the memory of the third prince with the person in front of him: "I'm really sorry, but do we recognize this senior brother?"
"Your Highness, Third Prince, don't be polite, just call me Dingguang." Li Dingguang bowed slightly again and hurriedly explained: "It was Dingguang who made a mistake. This is his name after he came to Jianxing Residence. Of course, His Highness the Third Prince doesn't know... The Third Prince can Remember the black dog and the white dog."
"Black dog, white dog?" Wu Fan frowned and said to himself, don't say black dog or white dog, he has even seen brown dog, yellow dog and flower dog. I really don't know what Li Dingguang is doing. What
Fame…
But he had just recited it secretly a few times, and suddenly a memory became clear in his mind: "Ah! I remembered it! You are the third prince... ahem, you are those two little beggars!"
Hearing this, tears flashed in Li Dingguang's eyes: "Yes, it's the two of us! If His Highness the Third Prince hadn't given us plums to satisfy our hunger and sent us to settle down in a place to avoid the cold, I'm afraid we would have either starved to death or froze to death. That winter!"
As he spoke, Li Dingguang's voice became choked with sobs: "We have neither father nor mother. The reason why we take Li as our surname is precisely to remember the kindness of the third prince to surrender to Li!"
Back then, the third prince was still young. Because he was tired of reading and writing, he sneaked out of the house unprepared.
Passing a corner, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter and yelling, and saw a group of dudes directing the servants to beat and kick two little beggars.
Although the third prince was not very old at that time, he had already read a lot of sages' texts and cultivated a heart of benevolence. Of course he couldn't bear to see this scene.
It's a pity that he has thin arms and short legs and is weak, so he can only risk his behavior to be exposed. He blows a whistle to attract the personal guard and helps solve this kind of trouble.
Seeing the two little beggars covered in bruises and skinny bones, with rumbling stomachs, the third prince handed them the plums in his arms.
The two little beggars, perhaps because they were hungry or because they had never seen such a rare thing before, actually swallowed the plum core and choked with tears.
Hearing that the two beggars had just escaped from the city and had no place to settle down, the third prince felt pity and asked the guards to help them settle in a restaurant and find a way to make a living for them. I went home dejected...
In order to repay the third prince's life-saving kindness, the two beggars were busy working during the day and devoted themselves to martial arts training at night, hoping that one day they could become the third prince's right-hand man.
It's just that it would be better not to practice, but this practice actually taught them to become famous!
Although the two little beggars came from poor backgrounds, they had amazing bones and amazing talents!
One night, they were practicing with two poles, but they didn't know that all this was seen by the Jianxing residents passing by. ap.
Under the hazy sky, the Jianxing resident thought that these two people were descendants of aristocratic families who were suddenly in high spirits. It was not until he asked casually before leaving that he found out that they were just clerks here.
After hearing about the rough status of the two, the Sword Star resident suddenly became curious about them and wanted to know where they learned these moves.
When he learned that these two people were self-taught, he immediately became interested in talents and brought Li Heigou and Li Baigou back to the center of Jianxing. He also named them Dingguang and Hanguang.
The two little beggars that cats and dogs disliked turned out to be the disciples of Jian Xingju who were admired by thousands of people.
Wu Fan suddenly felt emotional as he connected his memory with Li Dingguang's story.
The third prince's move to surrender to Li not only changed the fate of the two people, but also allowed the core of the past to take root and sprout today, bringing good results to himself.
It turns out that good and evil are also reincarnations.
