The villain is respected

I saw that in the huge cave, there was a faint appearance of a dry pool, in which curled up a huge forest white snake carcass. Its spine was as thick as a barrel, and it occupied almost the entire place.

And the head of the snake bone, which is slightly higher than a human's knee, is leaning against a boulder, with empty eye sockets facing upwards, and there is nothing in it.

Xie Chi, however, walked slowly around the deep pool like an old friend who came to visit. He stared at the criss-crossing sword marks and cracks on the stone wall, feeling a little inexplicably disappointed.

He joked: "You're very lucky, the inner demon breath I planted is running out, but luckily it's covered by the ghost hand vine outside, otherwise, how much spirit stones would the body of the phantom snake be worth?"

Even the dregs of your bones will have to be picked up by someone.

But in the empty cave, the only response to him was the rustling of ghost hands and vine leaves.

Xie Chi, however, seemed to be used to no one answering his words, so he continued on his own: "Back then you quite disliked me, saying that you didn't want to see me on the road to the underworld. standing here..."

His tone was raised, with inherent pride, but there was sadness in his eyes.

Not all the clouds are calm, but the peace from the heart, it may just be a disguise to cover up the bloody wound.

The cloud-patterned boots stopped, and the young man in red stood alone by the dry pool. He looked down at the dry bone from a high position, and met its black eye holes.

At that moment, time seemed to go back in an instant, and he saw those inhuman vertical pupils again through the dust and smoke of thousands of years—snakes are cold-blooded, but those animal pupils back then were full of mockery and sympathy.

The dying giant snake crawled on the ground, obviously it was the defeated one, but its eyes were high above, watching the blood-soaked young man with pity.

"What a pity," it said.

Xie Chi lowered his eyes, he smiled, flicked his wide sleeves slightly, the last breath of inner demon dissipated with the wind, and the illusion quietly collapsed.

What a pity.

The illusion dissipated, but the sigh that lasted for thousands of years seemed to remain in the air.

The young man in red smiled indifferently, he inspected every inch of the place with his eyes, and finally paused slightly somewhere——

found it.

He walked straight down the dry pool, leaned over and took out the sickle-moon-shaped snake tooth from a rock crevice.

"I need to discuss something with you." Xie Chi held the snake's teeth in his hands, his palms hurt, but he didn't care at all. He opened his clothes and sat on the floor, casually leaning against a boulder next to the snake's bone.

"Since I guarded the corpse for you, I have to get some reward... I don't want anything else, why don't I use this tooth to pay for it."

He lifted up the white fangs and looked at them carefully. After a thousand years, the blood and hostility had long since disappeared, leaving only the lustrous touch of white jade.

Just enough to give that person a return gift.

Xie Chi's eyes reflected the light of the candle, warm and warm. He raised the corners of his lips and continued to ramble: "I just searched here, but I didn't see another one. I'm afraid I fell into some corner. But this You can't blame me entirely—whoever made you want to bite me at that time, you have to admit that you have lost your teeth."

"Besides, I didn't intend to use it indiscriminately. I just met an obedient junior recently. As for you, you are also half a senior. Naturally, you have to give me some greetings."

Xie Chi felt that he had made sense again, and began to analyze confidently: "You have stayed here for a thousand years, and I have come out to let the air go, so naturally I have to let you see the world."

He babbled on some interesting things in the mortal world again, with a smile on his brow and eyes, but when he smiled, his voice gradually slowed down, and finally turned into a sigh.

Silence spread in the cave. After a long time, Xie Chi finally spoke again, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Did you know, Senior Brother Wen..." He paused slightly, then lowered his eyes and changed his words, "Wen Bingyan passed away, and Lin Yu also disappeared. Now it seems that I am the only one left."

Leaning against the boulder, he closed his eyes tiredly, blocking the light with the back of his hand, and concealing the tired look on his face.

"You said, is this a good man who doesn't live long, and a scourge that lasts for a thousand years?"

I want to save, but I can't.

Should be dead, but still alive.

Xie Chi's eyes were a little sour, he just felt physically and mentally exhausted, in this extremely hidden abandoned cave, he was finally able to let go of all his pretense and reveal his true self.

He wasn't a famous genius, nor was he powerful enough to fight the Nine Sects alone.

Just a child who is afraid of the dark at night and likes to sleep curled up.

Xie Chi turned sideways slightly, leaning against the boulder in a protective posture, and fell into a deep sleep.

He hadn't slept peacefully for a long time, and now he was finally able to sleep peacefully in a place where no one was around.

When his breathing became calmer, the rustling sound of the ghost hand vine also weakened, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone's slumber.There was no one around, and there was a slight "click" sound-it was the sound of gravel being crushed into the soil by the soles of boots.

A piece of white silk skirt brushed against the dark green vine leaves, and the ghost-like leaves curled up slightly, like a disobedient child silently withdrawing his hand, for fear of being punished.

The footsteps approached quietly, and finally stopped beside the boulder.

The visitor was silent for a moment, but ignored the messy dust on the ground, and sat directly next to the young man in red.

He tapped lightly with his fingertips, and a wisp of black air entered Xie Chi's eyebrows.

As if dispelling all the haze of the nightmare for him, Xie Chi finally relaxed his frown and fell into a deep sleep.

The man fetched the brocade fur, he carefully shook it off, and put it on the young man in red.

"Good dream." He lowered his eyes and said slowly.

The next morning, when Xie Chi stretched his waist and slowly came down from the stairs, he saw that Yu Jianhan had already prepared breakfast.Although it is a side dish of clear porridge, the white porridge is fragrant and glutinous, with green leaves dotted with green, and there is steaming smoke on it, which makes people appetite.

Xie Chi's eyes lit up instantly, but he did not forget his mission. When he sat down, he casually threw a white jade-like pendant from his sleeve and gave it to Yu Jianhan.

"This is..." Yu Jianzun took it straight, he looked at it for a while, and then turned his gaze to Xie Chi.

"Give it to me?" There was a little joy in his tone.

nonsense.

Xie Chi took a sip of the porridge carefully, and he pretended to be rich and arrogantly waved his hands: "A little thing, didn't I promise to find you some good things? These are the fangs of the phantom snake, a rare treasure even in a thousand years, you put it away first Bar."

Yu Jianhan looked carefully at the small object in his hand. It was carved with wolf patterns, but the simple lines outlined a murderous look, and there was a dark red tassel hanging from the tail.

He lowered his eyes and carefully tied the pendant to the hilt of his sword, and said with a smile, "Ah Xie, look, it's just right."

Xie Chi looked at the reputation, and for a moment didn't know what to say——

What a coincidence, when he first got the fang, he didn't know what to do with it. After taking a nap in the cave, when he returned to the inn in the dark, he suddenly remembered that Yu Jianhan's sword still lacked a spike , and then polished and carved Chongwu's wolf pattern sword pendant.

He coughed lightly, but turned his eyes away and said, "Ah, it's pretty good."

"By the way, what's the name of your sword? It seems simple." Xie Chi began to change the subject.

Indeed, the majestic Kyushu Sword Master, the sword on his body is not even as good as the iron sword used by mortal children to play.

Hearing this, Yu Jianhan looked at it with downcast eyes. He stroked the scabbard gently, with the softness of memories in his eyes, and said slowly: "It's called Qilai."

Xie Chi was taken aback, and after a long reaction, he said in shock: "No way, you sword cultivators, do you really regard swords as your wives?"

Wife comes...

Xie Chi almost rolled off his seat laughing at the thought of Yu Jianzun, who was famous all over the world, shouting "Wife Come" when he summoned the saber on the battlefield.

Seeing a hint of helplessness in Yu Han's eyes, he corrected in a gentle voice: "It's not the wife's wife, it's the habitat of Qi... taken from Phoenix Qiwu."

"Phoenix Qiwu?" Xie Chi still didn't slow down, his brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, but he still asked curiously, "How could it have something to do with this?"

Yu Jianhan looked troubled, he was silent for a moment, sighed, and answered honestly: "At the beginning, Qilai came with a wooden scabbard. The shopkeeper said that the wood was a phoenix tree branch..."

"Hahahaha, you'll believe it hahaha!" Xie Chi couldn't hold back anymore, almost crying with laughter.

He didn't know whether the incident of "Jian Zun went to buy a sword" was more bizarre, or the incident of the black-hearted shop owner selling the "Wutong scabbard" was more ridiculous.

Anyway-

"Yu Jianzun, you are too stupid." Xie Chi laughed enough, and finally put on a serious look, and made a serious conclusion.

The premise is that you have to ignore the lingering smile on the corners of his brows and eyes.

Yu Jianhan also drooped his eyes, rubbed the hilt of his sword, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and memories suddenly appeared clearly in front of his eyes——

"How can a swordsman not have a sword? Look, I bought it for you for two taels of silver."

The man raised a sword casually, and the young man reached out to take it.

"But why is this sword in a wooden scabbard?" The young man looked at it over and over again, his tone hesitant.

The man elongated his tone and deliberately teased: "Don't underestimate this wood, the store said it was a phoenix tree branch!"

The young man glanced at the man speechlessly, but still put the sword on carefully.

"I have already chosen the name of the sword. Since it is Phoenix Qiwu—" the man approached mysteriously and lowered his voice, "Then call it 'Qilai'."

Habitat, Wife Come...

As soon as he heard it, he knew it was that person's bad taste, the boy turned around slowly and walked away, and replied: "No."

"Isn't Jian the little wife of your sword cultivators? I don't care, I'll call Xilai."

"No."

"It doesn't matter, come and go, come and go."

"No."

……

Xie Chi on the other end was still snickering from time to time, but Yu Jianhan's mood improved inexplicably. He decided to make himself feel better, so he said, "Ah Xie, when are we going to Linwu Peak?" ?”

"Ah..." The smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and the words he wanted to say twirled on the tip of his tongue. Xie Chi finally found the right words, "I counted the spirit stones I earned yesterday, and they are enough, so I don't need to go any further." It's time for martial arts."

After getting all the things, why go to Linwu to get Mu Lixiang?

Not to, not to...

Yu Jianhan didn't ask, he accepted the reason with a smile, but changed the topic: "Then you may have to trouble Axie, accompany me to a place."

Xie Chi tilted his head, puzzled and asked: "Where?"

But Yu Jianzun didn't answer right away, he poured himself a cup of tea slowly, and used the movement of drinking tea to hide the eagerness in his eyes: "We're going to..."

Thinking of the news he had received, a strange light flashed in his eyes, as if he had met an unconscious prey of a fierce beast, cruel and excited.

"Purple Training Mountain."
