A breeze blew by, and the withered yellow leaves fell from the treetops, and were then swept aside by the broom.
The hand holding the broom is very skinny, with bulging veins visible to the naked eye. The calluses between its fingers and at the tiger's mouth indicate that it is a hand that has practiced martial arts.
The rare sunshine in autumn fell on the ground, and after sweeping the fallen dead leaves into a pile, the owner of the hands put down the broom, sat on a stone bench next to a big tree, picked up the kettle on the side, and drank.
Take a few mouthfuls to moisten your astringent mouth.
The man's eyes were slightly narrowed and he was leaning on the tree root. His hair and beard were all white, the wrinkles on his face were clearly visible, and his figure was a little stooped. At first glance, he was an old man who was approaching the end of his life.
At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps. The old man ignored it and put his hand on his thigh, patting it gently.
"Ah, Grandpa Zhong, why did you do my job again!"
A little boy about eleven or twelve years old walked up to the old man, scratched his little head, and said very ashamedly.
"I'm old. I'm not disabled. I'm just sweeping the yard. I can't kill anyone."
The old man said leisurely, and the little boy said in embarrassment: "But Grandpa Zhong, after all, you are the oldest member of the Excalibur Villa. If my father finds out, I will definitely get beaten again.
”
As the little boy said this, he couldn't help but touch his butt, and then he felt a thrill, as if he felt the kind of pain that his father used to slap his butt with a bamboo stick.
"Oh, Excalibur Villa, what kind of Excalibur Villa is there now? Your father can't stand it either!
But now there are only a few people left in Shenjian Villa. Your father is also someone who misses the old relationship, but it’s a pity.”
When the old man heard the name of Shenjian Villa, he opened his eyes slightly, but his eyes, which gradually became cloudy with age, were full of sadness.
Although the courtyard where an old man and a young child live has been cleaned extremely clean, the desolate feeling revealed by the lost popularity of the residence is gradually engulfing the place.
"But my dad said that Shenjian Villa used to be very powerful. There is still a plaque in the old owner's room that says he was given the best sword in the world by Emperor Taizu!"
The little boy sat beside the old man minding his own business, tilted his head and said, then flexed his little fingers and continued: "And more, my father said that more than ten or twenty years ago, the Excalibur Villa
The third young master in the movie has a sword that dominates the world, and is called the Excalibur by people in the world.
In the rivers and lakes, no one knows the reputation of the third young master of Cuiyun Peak, Green Water Lake, and Shenjian Villa."
The little boy became more and more enthusiastic as he talked. He pointed to the pond in front of the old man and the young man and said: "And what's more, I like to hear my father talk about the fifth young master. The fifth young master used to watch the sky and forge swords here alone.
, Ten years later, at the age of thirteen, he fought against the then magician Pang Ban outside Jinling City.
Not only did he shatter the void and leave, but in the end he wiped out 100,000 Northern Mongolian cavalry outside Shanhaiguan with one sword, and was named the Heavenly Sword by the world."
As he spoke, the little boy seemed to have remembered something again, and touched the back of his head. He still remembered that every time his father mentioned the fifth young master, he would pat his head with his palm as big as a cattail leaf fan, and muttered "the fifth young master is ten".
He shattered the void and left at the age of three. He is almost thirteen years old, and he is not even familiar with basic swordsmanship.
The old man chuckled, feeling sad and sighing at the same time!
At that time, the Fifth Young Master's behavior was highly criticized in the Shenjian Villa! But now it has become a legend in the hearts of the only remaining people. I have to say it is very ironic!
Thinking of this, the old man touched the head of the child next to him and sighed: "Xiao Xuan, these are all old things. After the old owner passed away, the third young master also disappeared, the fifth young master shattered the void, and the world has existed for generations.
With the talent coming out, only us old people still remember Shenjian Villa."
"No, my father said that Excalibur Villa will not disappear as long as we still remember it."
The boy called Xiaoxuan by the old man said with a serious face.
The old man chuckled and said nothing. He had heard these words a lot when the Shenjian Villa declined, including the boy in front of him. His name was Xie Xuan. His father Xie Yao was also the same age back then.
Just like what he said.
Yes, as long as we still remember, Shenjian Villa will not disappear, but we are the only ones who still remember it!!!
The old man sighed in his heart, and at this moment, a burst of noise reached the old man's ears.
The old man said with a steady expression: "Why is it so noisy again? Is it possible that someone is making trouble again?"
The old man stood up with the help of Xie Xuan, and the old man and the young man walked towards the place where the noise came from.
Excalibur Villa was also the first-class kendo holy land in the world back then. Even after the incident with the Third Young Master, it was still regarded as a good place for newcomers in the world to become famous, especially since each generation at Excalibur Villa is not as good as the previous one.
At the beginning, the old man could still take action to cure someone, but as he got older, the old man rarely took action. Fortunately, as the reputation of Shenjian Villa dissipated, fewer people came to provoke.<
/p>
After the old man walked for a while, his heart suddenly became tense, because at this moment he discovered that the place where the noise came from was the yard of the old owner of the village. He immediately left little Xie Xuan behind, started using Qinggong and rushed over first.
No wonder the old man was so nervous. People in the village only knew that the plaque given by Taizu was in the main room of the old village, but they didn't know that the divine sword passed down from generation to generation in Shenjian Villa was also hidden in it. p>
If the thieves were allowed to take away the Xie family's divine sword, the old man would really be dead without the face to face the ancestors of the Xie family.
When the old man arrived, he saw the few remaining men in Shenjian Villa holding sticks against the open door. Except for Xie Xuan's father, Xie Juo, who also held a sword in his hand.
Seeing this scene, the old man couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How majestic the Shenjian Villa was back then. There were countless good swordsmen in the villa, but now only Xie Jue is left.
When the tree fell and the hozen dispersed, some people left one after another. That is to say, Xie Yao, whose parents died when he was young and was adopted by Shenjian Villa and named Xie Xing, has remained until now.
"Uncle Zhong!"
When Xie Yao saw the old man, he immediately shouted respectfully.
"What's going on?"
The old man who was called Uncle Zhong asked Xie Yao, and Xie Yao shook his head and said: "I don't know. The man who just cleaned came to clean the old village owner's yard as usual, but found someone inside, so he hurriedly notified us.
Everyone knows that Uncle Zhong, you ordered not to enter the old manor’s room. Someone from outside must have sneaked in. As soon as I entered with my sword, I was beaten out, and I didn’t see who it was.”<
/p>
Uncle Zhong looked at the open door with some curiosity. Although Xie Yao couldn't master Kung Fu, there were no traces on his body. There were not many people in the world who could do this.
!
"I wonder if that friend is here. Making things difficult for these juniors is not an aboveboard act!"
Zhongbo said loudly to the room. A moment later, a sword appeared in his eyes. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Sure enough, the worst outcome had been reached.
But after another breath passed, when Uncle Zhong saw the face of the person walking out of the room, his eyes suddenly turned red, his whole body trembled, and he shouted in disbelief: "Fifth Young Master?!!!"
As soon as Uncle Zhong said this, it was like throwing a huge stone into the calm water, and the people around him suddenly became restless.
