The sloppy old man changed the topic: "There is news from Fumo Peak that there is an evil spirit causing trouble outside Shizhou City.
The leader ordered each peak to send a disciple. You are the only one in Wanmu Peak, so you don’t have to worry about being a master. You can go with confidence and boldness.
Originally, you had only started for a month, so you didn’t need to do this kind of thing.
It's just that this year, each peak has accepted some so-called genius disciples. These guys all think that they are extraordinary and want to poke a hole in the capital.
You go and rub their spirit for me, and at the same time, you want the five elders to know that you were in the side hall at that time and did not talk nonsense. "
Tao Ziming nodded, and then he realized that his master had thought so carefully.
But the sloppy old man's next words almost made him choke to death on the strong wine in the bowl.
"Of course, if you encounter an invincible danger, you can hide behind it appropriately. Remember, it's all about saving your life."
While he was talking, there was a series of thick footsteps at the foot of the mountain, and someone was going up the mountain.
Tao Ziming looked sideways. Although he saw no one, every plant and tree in Wanmu Peak Mountain was extremely familiar to him.
The moment he stepped into the mountains, his breathing and footsteps all entered Tao Ziming's ears.
The sloppy old man smiled, stretched out his hand, and pulled out a dusty straw mat from under the table.
I saw him unhurriedly pulling out the straw mat. Lying on the mat was a black cloth bag and a black long sword.
The black cloth bag is only one palm long and one palm wide.
The sloppy old man picked up the bag, patted the dust on it gently, and stuffed it into Tao Ziming's arms.
He picked up the black long sword on the ground and took it out of its sheath with a cry.
A cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and the cold air emanating from the sword man made Tao Ziming feel chilled all over.
The bright long sword felt cold in its tentacles, and there was a divine light on the sword. As soon as it was unsheathed, the color of the world changed instantly, and the cold wind around the thatched house was raging and swirling.
With a "clang" sound, the sloppy old man sheathed the long sword and handed it to him.
"Go ahead. With this Qiankun Sword protecting you, you can fight anyone for a round or two as long as they are not too powerful."
…
…
Outside Shizhou City, at Jackdaw Ferry.
Seven young people of similar age were standing in front of the ferry, looking at the dark lake and talking quietly. Tao Ziming was among them.
Among these six people, only a young man with a light beard on his face deliberately approached him: "Senior brother, judging from your talent and unique temperament, you must be Elder Liu, the lone swordsman on Wanmu Peak. Your eldest disciple, Tao Ziming, right? Junior brother, I am Li Wuyou, the direct disciple of Elder Iron of Huangji Peak. It is truly a blessing to meet you today."
Tao Ziming rolled his eyes helplessly and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
Isn’t that just the eldest disciple? I am the only one on Wanmu Peak.
Senior brother is me, junior brother is me too.
But as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, especially knowing that the other person is the disciple of the Sixth Elder Tie Qingqing.
Tao Ziming still smiled and nodded, and cupped his hands towards the other party: "I've admired you for a long time!"
Li Wuyou also cupped his hands: "Nice to meet you!"
While the two were being polite, they heard several disciples in front of them discussing quietly.
"Hey, do you know what the specific mission is when the leader sends us down the mountain this time?"
"I heard that some kind of water monster suddenly appeared in the Jackdaw Ferry. Good guy, I don't know where it swam from. In the past few days, it has eaten a lot of innocent people at this ferry."
"Yes, yes, I've heard about it too. But we are all young talents of the new generation of Qingshan Sect. Since the master named us to come out, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with this mere water monster."
As soon as they finished speaking, the people next to them burst into laughter. The more they talked, the more proud they were, and they almost forgot about the mission of this trip.
Tao Ziming's face was neither sad nor happy. He looked at the calm lake and slowly closed his eyes.
The moment you close your eyes.
Just listen to the howling of the innocent soul in the lake, and in the depths of the lake, a strong evil spirit hovers at the bottom of the lake. It seems that the other party has fallen into a deep sleep.
Tao Ziming closed his eyes and frowned, the picture in his mind becoming clearer and clearer.
In addition to the howling and struggling souls in the lake, at this moment he could clearly see a figure in the depths of the lake whose body was covered with scales and had a row of barbs on its back. It looked three-quarters like a human and seven-quarters like a ghost. monster.
The monster was hugging a mast and sleeping soundly.
Around the monster, there were countless shipwrecks and a pile of scattered human bones, more than half of which were covered in black mud.
Suddenly, the monster opened its eyes suddenly, as if it had noticed Tao Ziming's peek.
In the snow-white eyes, two vertical pupils the size of melon seeds emitted a fierce and fierce light.
Tao Ziming opened his eyes suddenly and let out a sigh of relief.
"Amazing!"
Li Wuyou beside him rolled his eyes and showed a knowing smile: "Senior brother, what did you see?"
Tao Ziming frowned and looked sideways at Li Wuyou, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Li Wuyou smiled softly, lowered his voice, and whispered in his ear: "My master told me before I came out.
He said that although the second uncle acted informally, he was extremely calm and never made a mistake.
If the second uncle really sent out a disciple, it means that the senior brother has mastered the power of the Heart Sword.
As long as I stay with my senior brother, I won't gain anything from this trip, but I won't lose my life. "
Tao Ziming nodded, looking at Li Wuyou's sincere smile, he didn't feel repelled in his heart.
From the beginning to the end, Li Wuyou's eyes did not even stay on his shoulders for even half a moment.
Tao Ziming has been extremely sensitive since he was a child and can feel the strange looks others cast on him.
Even if that person can hide again, his eyes will not deceive.
He didn't notice this kind of gaze on Li Wuyou.
He said calmly: "It seems that your master has told you a lot of things."
Li Wuyou nodded: "Oh, there's no way. Master said that although my qualifications are pretty good, in one month's time, if I want to be able to go down the mountain and go on a mission independently, my foundation is not stable enough.
If it is an ordinary kid, it is not difficult to deal with it. If it encounters a powerful big guy, it will immediately encounter flaws.
If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
So in order to survive, I can only seek help from my senior brother. "
Tao Ziming nodded.
Since the young man in front of him didn't feel any malice in his eyes, and the other person was so sincere.
So within the scope of your ability, it doesn't hurt to help him.
