But Xu Yang was climbing the mountain easily along the hillside.
He has been climbing this mountain for nearly ten years.
I am extremely familiar with every tree and stone here.
The closer you get to the top of the mountain.
Xu Yang's mood gradually became more expectant.
Although the old man usually doesn't take care of himself very much.
In addition to doing laundry and cooking for the other party every day, he also had to fetch water and chop firewood, and endured the other party's inhumane torture and training.
But we were separated for a while.
Xu Yang discovered.
Deep in my heart, I have long regarded this master as my closest relative.
Both feet landed on the top of the mountain.
You can already see the vegetable garden and the low wooden house not far away.
came back.
This is his best childhood memory.
"Old man, I'm back."
Xu Yang shouted and ran over quickly.
He took it and walked outside the courtyard gate. He called several times but got no answer.
"He must have fallen asleep drunk again."
Xu Yang shook his head speechlessly.
My years in the mountains.
This old man has nothing to do every day.
His only hobby is drinking.
After getting drunk, he fell asleep.
Xu Yang has long been accustomed to this kind of routine.
He opened the courtyard door with a smile.
Looking at the desolate vegetable patch in the yard, it has long been covered with weeds.
Xu Yang was speechless.
Sure enough, I got off the mountain by myself.
This vegetable garden is considered abandoned.
Xu Yang estimated that the old man had not taken care of the vegetable garden at all since he came down from the mountain.
I don’t know how this old guy eats these days.
A man came to the door and gently opened the wooden door.
There was a crunch.
Along with flying dust.
Xu Yang raised his hand and waved gently.
The house was empty.
No one is around.
Strange, have you gone out?
It shouldn't be.
Xu Yang stepped into the house.
Scan around.
He couldn't help but frown slightly.
He discovered something unusual.
Raise your hand and wipe it gently on the wooden table.
A thick layer of dust.
Walk to the edge of the bed.
A thick layer of dust has already fallen on the simple bed.
It is clear.
This house has not been lived in for a long time.
Xu Yang panicked.
Rush to the door quickly.
I asked around outside.
"Master..."
The sound echoed in the mountains.
But there was no reply for a long time.
So far.
Xu Yang was sure that the old man was really not on the mountain.
And look at the environment inside the house.
The other party has obviously been gone for a long time.
Xu Yang frowned, looking puzzled.
Master has gone down the mountain?
But why have you never contacted yourself?
Even though the old man would go out sometimes before, he would usually come back after a few days.
But now look at the environment in the house.
The other party has been gone for at least several months.
It has only been more than half a year since I came down the mountain.
Xu Yang suddenly had a bad premonition.
Could it be that after I came down the mountain that day?
The old man followed him down the mountain?
But where can he go?
And why didn’t the old man tell him about going down the mountain that day?
the most important.
The old man didn’t leave any contact information for himself?
No reason.
Xu Yang seemed to have lost something in his heart.
Feeling empty.
It is clear.
The old man went down the mountain.
I didn't notify myself on purpose.
"But why?"
Xu Yang was a little confused.
A man is sitting at the door.
Wait until evening, the sun is about to set.
Still the old man didn't come.
Xu Yang stood up with some frustration.
close the door.
Then walk out of the yard.
Close the fence gate gently.
A man goes down the mountain and leaves.
He didn't know where the old man had gone.
But he had a vague hunch.
This old guy is probably going to do something very important.
Otherwise it would be impossible not to tell myself.
…
The inner court.
Enter this place again.
Breathe the intoxicating aura.
Xu Yang took a deep breath.
Tell yourself to ignore the old man's affairs first.
The most important thing for me right now is to improve my strength.
As long as the strength increases.
There will always be a chance to meet the old man in the future.
Think about this clearly.
Xu Yang stretched out his hand to stop a disciple riding a flying spirit beast.
He quickly rushed to the inner courtyard.
Dormitory area.
Tang Mo has just finished a new round of retreat.
He opened the door with a tired look on his face.
Then I saw the figure sitting in the living room.
Wiping his eyes in disbelief.
Then he cursed.
"Fuck...when did you come back?"
Xu Yang smiled slightly.
"Just arrived."
"Damn, you kid, I thought you would never come back after going down the mountain."
Tang Mo walked over excitedly.
"How is that possible? I promised I would come back."
"Let's go. Come drink with me."
Tang Mo couldn't help but grab Xu Yang and walk out.
Xu Yang was speechless.
"What kind of wine are you drinking?"
"Hey. Just follow me."
"I have something important to tell you."
Xu Yang looked helpless and let Tang Mo drag him out and went straight to the cafeteria.
Sitting in the cafeteria, Tang Mo ordered several dishes without hesitation.
He ran to get another bottle of wine.
"Boy, fortunately you are back."
"Originally, I planned to go down the mountain and capture you if you didn't come back."
Seeing this guy's expression, Xu Yang couldn't help but ask.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Of course something happened. Something big."
"A great thing."
Tang Mo suddenly smiled mysteriously and pointed at the wine glass on the table.
"Drink this glass of wine first. I'll tell you later."
"Are you sick?"
Xu Yang couldn't laugh or cry.
But he still picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.
"You can talk now."
"What's the big deal?"
Tang Mo chuckled, then picked up the wine bottle and refilled it for Xu Yang.
Then he came over and whispered mysteriously: "This year's Qingyun Wine Cooking Conference is about to begin."
Xu Yang was stunned.
"Qingyun Wine Cooking Conference?"
"What's the meaning?"
Tang Mo smiled excitedly.
"Do you know Sword Sect?"
Xu Yang shook his head.
Tang Mo rolled his eyes.
"The two largest warrior sects in the country. Beilingyuan and Nanjian Sect."
"To the north, the Spiritual Academy has the greatest influence, and to the south, it's the Sword Sect."
Xu Yang was curious.
"Is the Sword Sect also an official organization?"
Tang Mo shook his head.
"Not really. But it's almost the same. The relationship between Jian Zong and our Spiritual Academy has always been good."
"You keep talking."
"There is a sword pond in the Sword Sect."
"As long as a warrior goes in, he will get huge benefits."
Tang Mo's eyes shone with excitement.
"Every four years, the Sword Sect will send out hero posts widely, inviting well-known warrior sects across the country, and even private cultivator organizations."
"Let them send the most talented young disciples to the Sword Sect's sword pond."
"etc."
Xu Yang suddenly raised his hand to interrupt.
"What kind of place is this sword pond you are talking about?"
Tang Mo chuckled.
"You guessed it too?"
"Sword Pond is actually a secret realm."
"But it's different from the secret realm of Ling Pavilion in our inner courtyard. This secret realm of Jianzong is very dangerous."
"It is a truly primitive secret realm, and there are real spiritual beasts inside."
"Of course, in addition to powerful spiritual beasts, there are also great opportunities."
"It is said that there are countless treasures left by the most powerful people in this sword pool."
Xu Yang opened his mouth slightly, showing a shocked look for the first time.
