Qin Yun walked to the gate of the mansion and saw a bald bearded man holding a horse and standing at the gate waiting.
"Brother Yun." The bald, bearded man suddenly smiled and shouted excitedly in a loud voice.
Qin Yun's eyes widened and he looked carefully. He was bald and had a bushy beard. Only his facial features could be recognized: "You are Xiao Bobo? How could it be possible that that shy and handsome boy has become such a rude man?"
Tian Bo was one of his best friends when he was a teenager, one year younger than himself.
When he was young, Tian Bo was handsome and fair, but also very shy.
Bald now? Beard? Strong
"Brother Yun, how can you say that about me?" the bald bearded man 'Tian Bo' continued, "This is too hurtful, my heart hurts!"
"Stop pretending." Qin Yun joked.
Tian Bo smiled.
The two hugged hard.
"Brother Yun, long time no see!" Tian Bo said.
"It's been a long time." Qin Yun let go of his good brother and said with a smile, "However, Xiao Bobo, your appearance has changed so much that I don't dare to recognize you unless I look carefully."
"How do I know, my hair has been falling out since I was eighteen, and it's useless to be anxious." Tian Bo touched his head helplessly, "No way, my father is bald, my grandfather is bald, so I am the same .And the beard grows crazy, but it's quite domineering."
"Domineering and domineering." Qin Yun smiled.
Playmates when I was young, they have grown up!
"You too, don't tell me the news of your return. The news that you have returned came from the six doors. Master Wufeng of 'Xishan Sword Garden' has called all parties, and at noon today, I will clean up the dust for you." Tian Bo smiled. Said, "And I volunteered to come and pick you up."
"Follow the wind and wash away the dust?" Qin Yun was surprised, "Your news is really fast."
"One pass to ten, ten to a hundred." Tian Bo said repeatedly, "Let's go, let's go, so many old brothers are waiting for you."
The elder brother Qin An who was also beside the gate also smiled and said, "Second brother, many of your friends are waiting for you, so go quickly."
"Okay, big brother, you don't have to wait for me, I'm afraid I'll be late tonight." Qin Yun said.
immediately.
The servants had already prepared the horse, so Qin Yun rode away with his friend Tian Bo.
…
Xishan Sword Garden is at the foot of Xishan Mountain outside Guangling County.
Qin Yun and the two rode forward leisurely, chatting along the way.
"When I was young, I wanted to travel around the world like you, but with my little skills, I was frightened and softened after seeing a few bloody killings. I should be an obedient son and inherit my father's business. Now I have taken over some restaurant business under my father's name. "Tian Bo shook his head and said, "By the way, I just took a concubine not long ago. My father forced me to marry a wife this year."
"You take a concubine first, then marry a wife?" Qin Yun was surprised.
"I can't help it with a big belly." Tian Bo shook his head, "But my father is very happy, because he gave birth to a baby with a handle."
"The richest man Tian only has one son, and he is waiting for you to spread his branches and leaves." Qin Yun joked.
During the conversation, the two rode horses to a lake at the foot of the West Mountain. The lake was calm, like a huge emerald, reflecting the West Mountain. At the end of the lake, there are pavilions, towers and pavilions, and some figures can be vaguely seen.
There were servants waiting on the shore of the lake for a long time, looking forward to seeing the two men coming on horseback to meet them.
"Mr. Tian, is this Mr. Qin?" A steward said enthusiastically, "Follow me quickly, my master and other young masters have been waiting for a long time."
Qin Yun and Tian Bo also got off their horses, and the two horses were handed over to the servants beside them.
The two of them boarded a small boat under the leadership of the steward.
Although the boat is small, it is very elegant, and the boatman is a beautiful girl. A flat boat sails on the surface of the lake with almost no waves, like a fairyland.
"I remember that the boatman was an old man back then, but now he's a young girl." Qin Yun said with emotion.
"Master Wufeng knows how to enjoy himself best." Tian Bo also said.
Xishan Sword Garden was originally the other courtyard of 'Li Wufeng', the eldest son of the Li family in Guangling County. He loved swordsmanship. He established the 'Xishan Sword Garden' when he was young. Only teenagers under the age of 16 can join. He was only ten years old when he was invited to join. This 'Xishan Sword Garden' was only created by a young master Wufeng in order to find some playmates who also love swordsmanship. It's also somewhat influential.
In the pavilions on the other side of the lake, some young people were drinking and talking, and they also noticed this small boat.
"Hahaha… "
A loud laugh came from a distance, "The sword god is here, the sword god is here, the sword god of our sword garden is here."
"Hurry up, brother Qin Yun, come here quickly, don't take your time." Everyone laughed and urged.
"Brother Yun, let's go." Tian Bo immediately stepped out of the boat, walked on the water, and flew over the lake for more than twenty feet before landing on the distant pier.
Qin Yun also laughed, and also walked on the water, but he didn't deliberately show off, he only made ripples on the lake surface without splashing, and walked to the pier as if walking.
"Brother Qin Yun, long time no see."
"It's been six years, come and drink, I'm afraid your kid will die outside, you're lucky, you're finally back."
A group of young people came over with wine jugs, and some of them handed a wine jug to Qin Yun directly.
Qin Yun took it and said with a smile, "Come, come, drink."
Playmates when they were young, they are more relaxed together.
…
More than twenty people drank happily together.
"Second brother, come to Bibi, I lost a lot in the sword competition last time, this time I will come to Bibi again."
"Okay, why are you afraid of you?"
The two put the jug aside, and immediately jumped out, stepping on the water, between the green mountains and green water, on the lake, and began to compete.
For a moment, the sword light flickered, and the figures of the two staggered and changed on the lake.
"good."
"Second Brother's sword is as ingenious as it is clumsy, and it is even more magnificent."
"Huh, what a weird sword, it scared me."
A group of people drinking and watching the battle are also pointing and pointing.
After one side was blasted into the lake and drenched, the competition ended.
"Brother Ming, let's try too."
"Bibi."
For a while, twos and threes stepped on the water one after another and began to learn swordsmanship.
Sword competition is the most common event in Xishan Sword Garden! The Xishan Sword Garden invited many teenagers to join at the beginning, and every one of them had to have certain strength in swordsmanship. Their group almost represented the best swordsmanship of the young generation in Guangling County City.
Drinking, chatting, fighting swords...
Now that they have grown up and have the shackles of life, they are more happy to come to Xishan Sword Garden, where they can drink freely and compete with swords freely, without paying attention to the mundane affairs.
Qin Yun also grabbed the bamboo jug to drink with his friends, chatting casually.
"Where is Crazy Zhang? He used to compete with me all the time, why didn't he see him this time?" Qin Yun asked.
"Crazy Zhang devoted all his family's wealth to cultivating immortality, and he really joined the 'Qishan School'. Unfortunately, he failed to open the immortal gate before he was twenty years old, so he wandered around..."
"I really admire Madman Zhang. When I was young, I devoted myself to practicing swordsmanship, and even wanted to cultivate immortality. But then I gradually lost my temper. Alas, I can't help it. My father is also old, and now the family needs me to support it. I can't tolerate it. Come."
"Layers of shackles, no freedom."
Everyone sighed.
Those present are all masters of sword practice, and generally have reached the seventh level of Qi refining, and they all have a desire for the path of practice.
When he was a teenager, he was full of spirits and had his own pursuits.
It's just that when they grow up, they are bound by layers of secular shackles, and they have the opportunity to knock on the immortal door only when they reach the ninth level of Qi Refining. There are only a handful of three or four present who can reach the ninth level of Qi Refining. And it is extremely difficult to join the Xiuxian sect.
"Where's Miss Yuqing?" Qin Yun asked again, Miss Yuqing was the only woman in their West Mountain Sword Garden.
"Her father has been transferred to Nanming County, and she also left with his father. It will be difficult to see each other in the future."
"I heard that sister Yuqing is also married, and she is married to the sick son of the Guihai family, a noble family in Nanming County."
"The Guihai family is one of the most powerful families in Nanming County, but I have heard about that sick young man. It is said that he is in poor health, and he may not live for a few years."
…
"Why didn't Brother Luo Bing come?" Qin Yun asked.
"Luo Bing died. He came back from the brothel with his friends in the middle of the night, was half drunk, was assassinated, and lost his life. Now I don't know who killed him."
Qin Yun was slightly taken aback.
That proud boy just died like this
…
"Jia Wu also died, and he was even more wronged. On the way back to the county town from their Jiajiazhuangzi, they encountered a monster, and the whole group died."
…
Qin Yun sighed when he heard this.
Back then, some of the good friends of Xishan Sword Garden had gone far away, and some of them had already died.
Although the brothers in Jianyuan have a good relationship, but at the beginning there were close to forty people, so there was a difference between closeness and estrangement, and they met once every few days. After a few years, some of the estranged ones didn't even talk much. Qin Yun joined Xishan Sword Garden when he was ten years old, when his father Qin Liehu was just an ordinary headhunter. The group of teenagers back then were still strangers to each other, and they were more used to looking at the background. The sons of ordinary headhunters like this and the sons of some small wealthy businessmen are somewhat looked down upon.
Qin Yun practiced swords like a madman, and he was nicknamed 'Yun Crazy'. The only people who were really close to him were 'Xiao Bobo' Tian Bo and 'Madman' Xie Lei, who had the same background.
Although a few people of the same age died, but in this era, monsters are disasters, dead people are too common, and the friendship is not too deep, so Qin Yun just sighed.
"By the way, where is the madman? Why didn't you come?" Qin Yun asked Tian Bo, who was drinking beside him, "Is he going to guard the escort?"
