"Madman?" Tian Bo was taken aback for a moment, and said in a low voice, "The madman has been dead for almost three years."
"It's been almost three years since you died?" Qin Yun's expression changed.
When he first entered Xishan Sword Garden, he was the son of an ordinary headhunter, only ten years old.
Tian Bo, the son of a small wealthy merchant, is only nine years old.
Xie Lei's family opened an escort company, and he was only eleven years old.
Xie Lei was very strong and hot-tempered, so he was nicknamed "Crazy Xie", while "Tian Bo" was called "Little Bobo" because he was handsome, frail and shy at the time.
Strictly speaking, Tian Bo is equivalent to a small follower. Qin Yun and Xie Kuangren 'Xie Lei' are the two most skilled swordsmen in the Xishan Sword Garden, and they often compete and learn from each other. Xie Kuangren's younger sister 'Xie Shuang' was treated like his own sister by Qin Yun, because Qin Yun had a younger sister, but when he was eight years old, his younger sister died, Xie Shuang looked very similar to his younger sister, Even acting like a baby is very similar.
Qin Yun and Xie Lei have a very good relationship in private, why can't they believe that Madman Xie, who is considered to be extremely scheming and powerful, would die like this
"What's going on, how did you die?" Qin Yun felt his heart ache, and the scenes of his youth floated in his mind, and his eyes turned red.
"I originally planned to talk to Brother Yun in private after today's party." Tian Bo lowered his voice, "You also know that the madman's father has long been ill and has been seriously ill in bed. After half a year, the madman's father finally went! However, the madman has the strength and skill, and he is still firmly seated as the head of the bodyguard bureau. He even said that his next marriage will be with the Hong family, the largest family in Guangling county. A concubine can be counted as a backer for the Hong family, but who would have thought that something would happen before she could marry a wife."
"What's the matter?" Qin Yun asked.
"The Xie family picked up a dart, and this dart was very big." Tian Bo said, "The madman went to escort the dart himself, and he was about to reach the end of the land, and when he met a monster, the battle was said to be very tragic. Hundreds of people survived. Three of them, two of the monsters died, and when the madman died, a sword pierced his head from the monster's mouth, but the monster also scratched the madman's heart."
Qin Yun was silent.
monster…
Escorts usually encounter monsters and offer treasures, and the monsters sometimes spare them, because they are not sure enough, and generally powerful escorts can fight off one or two little monsters.
"These monsters." Qin Yun gritted his teeth. Monsters are generally less intelligent than humans, and some are even stupid! If you are unlucky, it is useless to offer treasures, so you can only rely on the sword in your hand.
"Where's Xiaoshuang?" Qin Yun asked.
Once Madman Xie died, there was only one girl left in the Xie family.
"The dart trip was huge. If the dart failed, the Xie family would have to lose money. With so many people dying, the Xie family would still have to pay." Tian Bo shook his head. The family members of the man. Later, they didn’t have enough money to pay for the darts, so they were forced to sell themselves to Yanfeng Tower to get enough money.”
"Sell yourself to Yanfeng Tower?" Qin Yun's face turned pale.
The madman died, and sister Xie Shuang sold herself to Yanfenglou
fortunately.
Fortunately, Yanfenglou is the most famous brothel in Guangling County, and the famous prostitutes in this kind of brothel are all performers but not their bodies. Only some ordinary brothels sell meat.
Those who sell meat are looked down upon very much, and the usual one-and-a-half taels of silver is probably enough, but the real courtesan is different, they are all wealthy and distinguished guests flocking here, please drink a cup of tea and chat, all have to Dozens of taels of silver! It depends on whether the courtesans are willing or not. Like some well-known prostitutes... Some of them are all masters of the same party. They spend thousands of taels of silver just to see each other, but they may not be able to get what they want!
Of course, if famous prostitutes are voluntary, there are some who recommend themselves as pillow mats, but it is very rare.
"Sister Xie Shuang is the only daughter of the Xie family. She is good at sword dancing, she can play the pipa well, and she is also very good-looking, so she sold herself for a high price just now." Tian Bo shook his head, "I wanted to give money to help, but sister Xie Shuang needed money at the time. Nearly 20,000 taels of silver, my Tian family has to sell nearly half of the family property to make up, and the urgent sale will cost a low price, there is really no way, and my father can't possibly agree."
"Nearly 20,000 taels?" Qin Yun nodded, ten thousand taels of silver is considered rich, nearly 20,000 taels of silver, Yanfenglou is willing to pay, it is already very rare.
"Let's go to Yanfeng Tower tonight." Qin Yun said.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Tian Bo nodded.
…
Although he was eager to see Xie Shuang, Yanfeng Tower only opened to welcome guests at night, and Xie Shuang had been in Yanfeng Tower for more than two years, so he was not in a hurry, Qin Yun patiently stayed here with many old friends.
Sitting by the railing, drinking wine, watching the green mountains and green underwater, friends stepping on the water to learn swordsmanship.
"Brother Qin Yun, why don't you come and guide me?"
"Yes, come on, don't just drink."
Hello friends.
"No need." Qin Yun forced a smile, he really wasn't in that mood, thinking of Xie Shuang who sold himself to Yanfeng Tower, and thinking of the dead Madman Xie, he felt oppressed and uncomfortable.
"Brother Qin Yun." A handsome young man in casual clothes came and sat next to Qin Yun. This young man was the 'Mr. Wufeng' who founded the Xishan Sword Garden at the beginning. Mr. Wufeng said with a smile, "You are thirteen years old. He had already reached the ninth level of refining Qi that year, and traveled around the world alone at the age of fifteen, and now he should have found the fairy fate and knocked on the fairy door, right?"
"After suffering so much, I finally knocked on the fairy gate." Qin Yun said.
Mr. Wufeng couldn't help sighing: "I admire you, you are the only one of our young generation in Guangling County who knocked on the fairy gate, and do you know what I admire most about you?"
Qin Yun was puzzled.
"I admire your courage." Mr. Wufeng said, "With your original talent, joining the practice sects around Guangling County is easy, and it is not difficult to knock on the fairy gate. But you obviously don't like those ordinary people. Those who practice sects would rather travel the world in search of opportunities to join the real top schools. Perhaps this kind of Taoism is needed for the road of cultivating immortals."
Qin Yun was stunned, and shook his head: "Don't flatter me. When I left home, it was windy and rainy, and I often faced the crisis of death. At first, I gritted my teeth and endured it. Later, I really wanted to go home, but I found that I was already thousands of miles away from home. , Returning is also difficult and dangerous. Since this is the case, we will go all the way to the dark."
"It's amazing to be able to endure thousands of miles away from home." Mr. Wufeng held up the bamboo wine pot, "I respect you."
Qin Yun also raised the jug
The two touched each other.
Mr. Wufeng drank the wine and said: "You are different from us, and your life span is already different. You can live a hundred years by knocking on the fairy gate. If you step into Xiantian, you can live two hundred years in the Void Core Realm! The legendary Jin Alchemy Realm has a lifespan of five hundred, a true immortal, and when we, your playmates when you were young, are all piles of loess, you may still be very young."
Qin Yun was slightly taken aback, didn't say anything, just looked at his friends who were competing with swords on the lake, and drank silently.

at dusk.
Qin Yun declined the invitation to the evening party and left with Tian Bo.
"Let's go to Yanfeng Tower."
The two returned on horseback.
Yanfeng Tower is the most famous brothel in Guangling County. Officials and celebrities, wealthy businessmen and high-ranking guests gather here. The most common thing to go in is a cup of tea that costs one tael of silver! One tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three for two or three months.
At this moment, Yanfeng Tower has opened its doors to welcome guests, the red lanterns have long been hung up, and a group of beautiful maids are warmly welcoming guests outside the gate.
