The man running around Lao Gao was none other than Hao Hao.
The remaining disciples waved their hands repeatedly with sad expressions on their faces, "Senior Brother Hao is not coming. If you continue to play, you may win away all the money we spent on going down the mountain to drink."
Hao Hao had a ghostly look on his face and distributed the pile of copper coins in front of him in half to the people who had just participated in the gambling. "Come here, take it, use it sparingly, that's enough. I'll go to the next room to take a look." look."
This is Hao Hao's usual trick. If he wins all your money, he will give you some more, so that at least there will be people willing to bet with him next time, and then he will become the god of death in the dark night and harvest the silver.
Hao Hao stood up and saw Gu Xiaotian who opened the door and came in.
"Junior brother Xiaotian is back, come on, come with me to the next room." Hao Hao pulled Gu Xiaotian out of the room without waiting for Gu Xiaotian's reaction.
On the way to the next room, Hao Hao was still counting the copper coins he had won. His eyes were full of gold, which showed how much he loved money.
After counting the copper coins, Hao Hao said hesitantly to Gu Xiaotian: "What about that, junior brother, I have already taken the money your grandfather gave you, and I think you will not be able to use it in the outer courtyard, so I will help you put it in Wuhenya's house first. If you want it, senior brother will give you these copper coins first."
In fact, the money Gu Le gave Gu Xiaotian had been spent by Hao Haohua long ago.
Gu Xiaotian pushed Hao Hao's hand away, saying that he didn't need the money.
Hao Hao also breathed a sigh of relief before continuing to talk: "That's right, little junior brother, it only takes a few days after you go down the mountain to the outer courtyard to enter the country. I believe it won't be long before the people in the outer courtyard can't beat you."
In fact, Gu Xiaotian's current state, after experiencing Zhang Hui's battle, has reached the middle stage of the trial state.
Hao Hao had naturally noticed it a long time ago. In just two days, this kid had entered the country. Although this kid started late and was not like Leng Qingqiu, who had all his meridians and entered the country directly, his cultivation speed was really fast.
As the two of them walked on the road, Hao Hao was the one chattering non-stop, while Gu Xiaotian was like a compliment throughout the whole process, "Well, yes, okay, no need." He was perfunctory with Hao Hao back and forth.
When they arrived at the door of the next room, Hao Hao insisted on playing a few games with Gu Xiaotian. Gu Xiaotian quickly said that he did not know how to gamble.
Really unable to compete with Hao Hao, Gu Xiaotian had to accompany Hao Hao to gamble a few times, until Hao Hao won all the money in the house again, and repeated his old trick of dividing half of the money and returning it, and skipped back. Go to the next house.
"Junior brother Xiaotian, I see that you are worried, but you are in trouble. Tell me and he will vent your anger." Hao Hao also noticed Gu Xiaotian's mood. This little junior brother was not in a high mood along the way.
"Senior brother, I defeated Zhang Hui in a personal battle in the outer courtyard..."
"Oh, yes, that guy Zhang Hui is only in the ninth level, but he has a lot of dirty tricks. You can beat that guy Zhang Hui in your first battle. That's good."
"But, my sword is broken." After saying that, Gu Xiaotian took out his cracked sword and showed it to Hao Hao.
The intention couldn't be more obvious. Along the way, Gu Xiaotian was thinking about how to speak to Hao Hao. Unexpectedly, Hao Hao brought it up first, so he did it smoothly.
But it was obvious that Gu Xiaotian was overly worried. This trivial matter was a piece of cake for Hao Hao, not to mention that Gu Xiaotian had forgotten his true identity - Ye Wuhen's closed disciple.
"Why are you not in high spirits along the way? Don't worry. Tomorrow, senior brother, I will take you to Hidden Sword Peak. You can choose any sword from Hidden Sword Peak!" Hao Hao was happy when he looked at the swords issued by the outer courtyard.
This sword is just a symbolic gift from the outer courtyard to those disciples who go up the mountain without weapons. In terms of quality, it is really the lowest among the lowest.
"Thank you very much, senior brother. I'll wait for you at the door of the morning room tomorrow." Seeing Hao Hao's promise, Gu Xiaotian bowed happily, then turned around and left. He didn't want to continue gambling with Hao Hao.
Gu Xiaotian returned to the house and washed himself briefly. When he saw Guo Yi who was meditating, he quickly told Guo Yi about his defeat of Zhang Hui.
Guo Yi is naturally happy for Gu Xiaotian. Although Gu Xiaotian's strength has surpassed his own, Guo Yi has long forgotten his previous jealousy towards this ignorant "little brother". He now only hopes that Gu Xiaotian Xiaotian can reach higher places.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Gu Xiaotian told Guo Yi his insights and experiences about Guo Yi's sword skills.
Guo Yi also listened carefully and thought about it. He had never thought of this.
Now that Gu Xiaotian had solved his doubts, he immediately picked up the sword and ran out of the house to try it out.
Seeing Guo Yi going out for practice, Gu Xiaotian immediately became blindfolded and fell asleep.
...
After a good night's sleep, Gu Xiaotian got up early the next morning and stood at the door of the room waiting for Hao Hao. After all, Hao Hao had said that he would take him to choose a sword.
But before Hao Hao could wait, he saw a messenger pigeon in the sky flying straight towards Gu Xiaotian.
The carrier pigeon landed on Gu Xiaotian's shoulder. Gu Xiaotian glanced at the pigeon's feet and noticed the letter on it. After untying it, the carrier pigeon flew away on its own.
When he rolled up the letter, his opponent for the next match was clearly written on it - Luo Ruiming.
Gu Xiaotian was a little surprised. He had seen Luo Ruiming's strength a long time ago. Although he could block Luo Ruiming's offensive, who knew whether Luo Ruiming had used his full strength. Moreover, it was three against one last time, so he could defeat Luo Ruiming. Don't be too careless when you get a little benefit. If Luo Ruiming had a righteous group fight like Zhang Hui, how would he fight?
Just as he was thinking about it, Hao Hao walked over casually from a short distance away, holding two buns in his hand and eating them.
"Let's go, junior brother."
...
Arriving under the familiar five peaks again, this time Gu Xiaotian was no longer afraid of the hanging escalator. He jumped and grabbed the escalator, while Hao Hao watched with interest as he climbed up step by step. Gu Xiaotian, this junior fellow student has not only improved his cultivation in the outer courtyard, but also gained courage.
It's just that the escalator is still a long way from the top, and there are no objects to climb in this distance. Gu Xiaotian just feels that he is so stupid. If he had known, he would have just asked his senior brother to take him up.
Hao Hao followed Gu Xiaotian. Seeing Gu Xiaotian stop, he directly used his feet to fly up on the escalator, inserted the sword he was wearing into the stone wall, then looked at Gu Xiaotian below and said: "Junior brother, Just sit with me and climb up step by step. Don’t worry, senior brother will catch you."
This is really cheating. His own sword is broken and still stuck in the stone wall. Is this Hao Hao a heartless person?
"Brother, my sword is broken!!!" Gu Xiaotian shouted towards Hao Hao who was still going up step by step. How he hoped that Hao Hao could take him up directly.
Hao Hao didn't care and ignored Gu Xiaotian at all. He climbed to the top by himself relying on his sword and the stone wall, leaving Gu Xiaotian hanging on the escalator messy in the air.
"Forget it, I'm going to die anyway, can Hao Hao really care about me?" Gu Xiaotian felt cruel, gave himself a breath of strength, and pulled out the broken sword, using his feet with the help of the escalator, he fiercely With one step, he used all his strength in mid-air to stab the sword hard towards the stone wall.
"Ding Ling clang." At the moment when the sword was pierced into the stone wall, the broken sword was shattered without any surprise, and its body was completely intact.
Gu Xiaotian closed his eyes and began to recite his last words again.
But he didn't fall, and Hao Hao had already grabbed him by the collar. Hao Hao also teased Gu Xiaotian: "Junior brother, you are such a tiger. The sword was broken and it still stabbed in."
Gu Xiaotian's forehead was covered with black lines. He had just reminded his senior brother that the sword was broken.
In this way, the two of them arrived at the peak, and walking inside was the Hidden Sword Peak.
On the Hidden Sword Peak, countless broken swords are stuck on both sides, and in the main hall on the top of the mountain, there is also a huge sword that is shocking to the heavens and is stuck behind the mountain.
Outside the mountain gate, a woman was dancing with a sword. There were several loud noises wherever the sword was swung, and blue light also lingered around the woman's body. She stopped holding the sword when she saw the two people walking towards her, her eyes still a little disgusting.
This woman has short, sleek hair, with starry eyes as bright as the moon dotted under her bangs, and two tiger teeth exposed on her pink lips, adding to her beauty.
Hao Hao smiled evilly, stepped forward and teased the woman, "Hey, isn't this sister Wen Yan? I'll take my junior brother to Hidden Sword Peak to choose a sword. You can inform Peak Master Yun."
Wen Yan's face was full of disgust, which showed how much he hated Hao Hao in his heart.
However, Hao Hao was dressed like a beggar, with disheveled hair and a sloppy beard, which no normal woman would like.
"Master is in the main hall. Just let your junior brother go in by himself. Just stay at the door."
Hao Hao didn't care and continued to tease Wen Yan: "That's not okay, sister. This junior brother has just arrived and we are too naive. We are not familiar with him. I have to show him his identity now."
As he spoke, he stretched out his evil little hand to hug Wen Yan.
Wen Yan opened those evil little hands vigilantly and said, "Hao Hao, don't use the tricks you used on those singers at the foot of the mountain to deal with me. Do you believe that I can chop off your hand with one sword now?"
"Oh, sister, when you meet your brother, you don't want to hug him, but you still want to beat him?"
"Bah, please return it to my brother. You two should get out of here and pretend you have never seen me." After Wen Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the hall, obviously not wanting to tangle too much with Hao Hao.
When Hao Hao saw Wen Yan leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Tian, let me tell you, everyone on Hidden Sword Peak is very strange. Just say that Wen Yan is obviously a beauty, so he must It’s okay to cut my hair like this, senior brother, that’s what I like.”
Gu Xiaotian only felt embarrassed but had to laugh at the side. This senior brother really didn't have any integrity.
The two of them walked into the hall, where Wen Yan was standing next to a woman, talking quietly.
Seeing the two people walking into the hall, Wen Yan pointed in their direction, and the woman sitting on the chair got up and walked towards them.
"So beautiful." Gu Xiaotian sighed with emotion. The moment the woman sitting on the chair stood up, Gu Xiaotian's eyes widened.
The woman was dressed in red and looked like a fairy descending from the earth. She had a straight nose, red lips, fair skin, a pair of bright and gentle peach blossom eyes, and an eye-catching tear mole in the corner of her eyes. She also had two handfuls of hairpins on her waist. rapier.
Gu Xiaotian, who was only in awe, didn't notice Hao Hao who lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at him.
The woman walked up to Hao Hao and said in a playful tone: "I heard that you just came to tease Wen Yan again?"
Hao Hao, who was originally not doing anything right, now responded timidly and with a stutter: "No... no... I was just outside the door, sparring... sparring in martial arts."
The woman smiled and kept staring at Hao Hao, who did not dare to raise his head. "Oh? Really, how about you compete with me in martial arts?"
"Peak Master Yun, what did you say? The gap between you and me is that I won't be able to catch up for a hundred years." Hao Hao kept his head down, not daring to look directly into the woman's eyes. It seemed that if the two of them were Looking at each other, Hao Hao looked like a dead body.
"It's good that you know. If you dare to come to my Hidden Sword Peak to tease my disciples, I won't mind crippling you."
"Yes, yes, Master Yun, I brought my junior brother to pick up the sword."
"Well, I understand, then get out of here."
"Um?"
Hearing the word "gun", Hao Hao suddenly raised his head, and their eyes met.
In just one second, Hao Hao shouted and flew out of the palace door.
The woman still kept a smile on her face and clapped her hands, "Don't be afraid, Xiaotian, your senior brother is not a good person. Don't try to imitate him. My name is Yun Hanxing, the master of Hidden Sword Peak. I am the one who chooses the sword you want." This is the Hidden Sword Peak. Wen Yan should take Xiaotian to Hou Peak to select swords."
