Push cart brother, grinder man,
Send my brother to school.
My brother studied for three years,
One test is a scholar.
First worship father, then mother,
Goodbye to my wife's room.
The golden key opens the silver box,
The wife's room was full of light.
…
More than a dozen five- or six-year-old children formed a circle, clapping their hands and singing nursery rhymes. On the big stone mill in the center, sat a strange old man in black, white hair and black beard, looking silly. Listening to the children singing, I also clapped my hands with the children, whispering to learn to sing, but it looked like an old fool who lost his mind.
The old man and the children were having fun, but the parents of the children were terrified when they saw it, because the old man had a vague and sharp aura, and he did not look like an ordinary person, and he made these abnormal actions. This action made the adults even more panic-stricken. They hurried forward and dragged their children back with all their might.
"Go, go, if you don't go, the old lunatic will kidnap you later..."
Unnecessary panic seems to be contagious. In just a few breaths, the adults coaxed the children away with almost the same words. In the end, there was only a little girl with a windmill left beside the old man. go.
"Girl, why don't you go?"
"After I leave, no one will play with grandpa..." the little girl said innocently.
It's a pity that things backfired. The little girl's parents, who can be regarded as belatedly, were finally reminded by the neighbors, ran out in a panic, and started shouting all the way: "Ah, come home with me! Eat, eat it's..."
"Didn't you just finish eating?" Erya asked strangely.
Without further ado, the parent stepped forward and dragged her away, saying, "Are you stupid to tell you to obey me when you go home? You dare to stay when everyone else is gone..."
Erya couldn't resist, and when she walked out, she was still reluctant to part, but the old man's pitiful expression watched Erya go away.
But after walking a few steps, Erya took advantage of her father's relaxation, broke free suddenly, and ran back again.
"You child..." the parent yelled angrily, but unexpectedly met the strange old man's sharp gaze, and was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and he almost sat down on the ground.
As if Erya didn't realize it, she ran over a few steps, put the windmill in the old man's hand, and said, "Be good, grandpa, Erya can't play with you anymore, so I will give you this windmill..."
The strange old man's eyes suddenly softened, his eyes fell on the colorful windmill, and he couldn't move his eyes away.
"Goodbye, Grandpa!"
The obedient little girl returned to her father, she couldn't see her father's distraught appearance at all, she still turned around innocently and waved her little hands, the smile on her face was brighter than the sun.
"goodbye… "
The strange old man was waving the windmill while shaking his arms, his sharp eyes were instantly covered by a layer of confusion...
"Wind, windmill..." The strange old man looked at the windmill in his hand, and it kept blowing, and the windmill kept spinning, "My Jiaojiao seems to have said that she also loves windmills..."
"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao..." The strange old man fell into confusion, "It's getting late... I should go home! Jiaojiao who gave me the windmill... Jiaojiao made me sweet-scented osmanthus fish..."
The strange old man stood up immediately, ignoring the sun just after noon, turned around and walked towards the east...
…
On a high tower ten miles away, Zuo Shaobai's angry eyes were full of panic, his hands were trembling constantly, although he strongly suppressed his emotions, but had little effect.
Not just anger, but more fear from the depths of his soul, even though he would never admit it.
And this feeling of avoiding in this life, at this moment, comes from the black figure in the crowd in the distance.
Fear is everywhere, even though they are so far away, Zuo Shaobai does not feel the slightest sense of security.
"Brother Shaobai, are you sure that that person is Shentu Zhenyue?"
An unbelievably old voice sounded from the side, and the slow tone paused every word, but there was a chill unimaginable by ordinary people.
It was really cold, Shuzhou was still scorching summer, but the old man kept exhaling from his mouth, as if he was in the twelfth lunar month of winter.
"He is Shentu Zhenyue...Even if he turned into ashes, I would still recognize him. Unexpectedly, the explosion back then did not kill him. He was really lucky...Brother Xuanwu, this time with the help of the Holy Gate, we will take action against Shentu Zhenyue After going back, brother will definitely not miss the benefits of brother." Zuo Shaobai said this name as if he had exhausted all his strength, even though he wanted to replace him when he approached him at the beginning, but the fear accumulated over the years has penetrated deep into his bones. Can't avoid it.
"It's easy to say, easy to say..." Xuan Wu, one of the six masters of the Demon Sect, nodded with a smile, not interested in the benefits he said.
"Since it's the fish that slipped through the net, why don't we take action immediately and wipe him out?"
The person who spoke was another tall man with a strong aura, which seemed stronger than that of Xuanwu, but a real master could tell that Xuanwu had actually reached the step of returning to basics, and his aura was restrained, except for that which appeared from time to time The astonishing cold, the whole person is already very inconspicuous.
The speaker's status is not low, and he can actually talk to Xuan Wu, but what is surprising is that among the people present, there are as many as five people of this status, all of whom are sitting proudly behind Zuo Shaobai on the Sandalwood At the table, everyone's aura is enough to rival anyone in black and white.
As soon as the majestic man finished speaking, a person in the crowd snorted coldly and said, "The other party is Shentu Zhenyue, not a cat or a dog in the Jianghu. Is Sect Master Jie Lan so sure that he can be captured?"
The majestic man glared angrily and almost turned his face on the spot, but in order to take into account Master Xuanwu's face, he suppressed his anger just now and asked, "Can't Suzerain Yingliu see that Shentu Zhenyue is already a strong outsider? Deficiency of Qi and weak body, messy footsteps, is it simply a loss of martial arts?"
The Yingliu Sect Master laughed, and couldn't help but sneer: "Sect Master Jielan really has good eyesight, it seems that among the five Sect Masters of the Thirty-Six Dao, only you have the best eyesight, and we are all blind... "
No matter how hard Sect Master Jielan could bear it, he shouted angrily, "What do you mean by that?"
"It's boring." The suzerain Yingliu also did not back down, and the two sides immediately clashed with each other in a few words, and they were about to strike immediately.
It turned out that the five present present who could match the aura of the Xuanwu Master were all the suzerains of the thirty-six paths of the Demon Sect, and their strengths were basically in the Guixu Realm, which can be said to be powerful.
In the recent actions of the Demon Sect, more and more masters of the Nine Sects and Thirty-Six Paths have appeared, directly stepping into the front stage of the struggle between the Jianghu.
It's just that the suzerains of these thirty-six paths have not belonged to each other for many years, and they have disliked each other. If it weren't for Luo Podi's high-risk pressure, these people would never cooperate honestly.
At this time, a conflict broke out between the two suzerains, Jie Lan and Yingliu, and immediately expanded. The five suzerains cursed and accused each other, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Master Xuanwu snorted coldly and said, "Everyone, have you forgotten how the Holy Master explained before leaving?"
As soon as the Xuanwu master's voice fell, the five thirty-six sect masters immediately fell silent in embarrassment.
Maybe they are not afraid of the Xuanwu Master, but they are deeply afraid of Luo Podi.
Master Xuanwu said lightly: "No matter what Shentu Zhenyue looks like, we must know in our hearts that that person is Shentu Zhenyue who is the 'best sword in the world'. What we are worried about is that if he really loses all his martial arts and loses his mind, we will kill him immediately and send him back to the west."
"Then who will test it out?" Someone in the crowd asked.
This person is performing a hard job, if Shentu Zhenyue is pretending to be crazy, the person in charge of testing will become a pile of fragments in an instant, or even be split into two pieces.
The several suzerains of the Demon Sect fell silent at this time, no fool was willing to be this sword-testing stone, because it was really too dangerous.
Master Xuanwu glanced at the suzerains coldly, and asked in a cold voice: "What's the matter? Wo Lidou is so heroic, once it's time for the real thing, are you all afraid?"
Everyone's face was gloomy, but they all said nothing.
At this moment, with a soft sigh, Zuo Shaobai's voice came and said: "The candidate for the test, let me come and find..."
