Why do you want me to be the sect leader?

"How is it? He is indeed a handsome man, right?"

Seeing that Huo Jiulin seemed to be stunned, Shen Yiqing couldn't help teasing, thinking that after he finished speaking, he would definitely refute again, but who knew that he didn't get a response.

"Show me, show me."

Du Huaike yelled, and Shen Yiqing handed him the painting in his hand. After he took it, he looked at it carefully, and said doubtfully, "Huh? This painting looks familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere."

"where is it?"

Huo Jiulin asked impatiently, and Shen Yiqing was even more puzzled, "What's the matter? Do you know the person in the painting?"

"Ah."

"What a coincidence? Who is it?"

"My master."

Shen Yiqing was shocked: "Senior Huo Binhuo, the sword god? But why is his portrait here? It seems to be isolated from the world here. Could it be that your master was so famous back then?"

But no matter how famous he is, it's impossible for everyone here to know about it. It sounds too unbelievable. Huo Jiulin stared at Du Huaike, and Du Huaike's little head was about to explode.

"I... I can't remember."

"You think carefully."

"Big brother, I really forgot, can I tell you when I remember?"

"Ok."

Huo Jiulin looked helpless, but Du Huaike was only a child after all, and he couldn't be too hasty. Shen Yiqing looked at the portrait carefully, and didn't expect the legendary sword god to be so handsome when he was young!

"The people in this painting seem to be in their early twenties. They should have been fifty when your master passed away, right?"

"Well, it's exactly fifty. The year he picked me up was 36. At that time, my appearance was not much different from the one in this painting. It's just that he crippled his right leg and wandered about all day long, so no one could recognize him. , just treat him as an ordinary beggar."

When it comes to what happened to Huo Bin 30 years ago, the two who knew the truth couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Huo Jiulin carried him on his back and continued to walk forward. Du Huaike led them to the Jixitan where they had been found before.

"It's still February now. After March, Jixitan will be full of colorful flowers. It will be really beautiful at that time. Here, grandpa found you here. Grandpa said that you are both dying soon." , but they are still holding hands, as if they were martyred for love."

Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing: "..."

"Little Duzi, it turns out that you learned how to speak so straight from your grandfather. I don't think those kids don't like to play with you because they think you're fat."

"Hmph, I will grow up to be like Brother Shen in the future, and I will piss them off."

"Go and sit over there."

Shen Yiqing pointed to the big rock in front of him, Huo Jiulin walked over, and let him sit on the rock slowly, "Little Duzi, you wait here, I'll find a pole and come to the pond to fork some big fish Give you an extra meal tonight."

"If you want to eat fish, I have a lot of fish in my house. Why do you need to fork here?"

Du Huaike looked disdainful, and Shen Yiqing on the side also hurriedly stopped him: "Farewell, I feel like throwing up when I see fish recently, every meal has fish, and the fish I have eaten since I was a child has not been eaten in the past half a month many."

Um, Huo Jiulin just remembered that they are near the sea, so they must often go out to sea to fish and eat.Well, I want to show them a hand, but I haven't had a chance to show it.

Looking up at the cliff, half of what I saw was covered by clouds and mist, and I couldn't see the top. No matter how good the Qinggong is, no one can climb the cliff like this.

"If we want to go up from here, it is impossible, so we can only take the mountain road after recovering from the injury."

"Actually, it's pretty good here. If you don't have so many things to worry about, it would be a good thing to settle here."

I met a lot of villagers along the way, all of them were very enthusiastic. That kind of innocent expression is hard to see in the rivers and lakes. The mountains and rivers are beautiful here, the air is fresh, and more importantly, there is no intrigue. It is really a good place to live in seclusion. .

"What? Fall in love with this place?"

"Ah."

"Then, let's not go out, build a house here, and then live. I will go fishing with them, and you will wait for me at home. How wonderful it is."

"Okay, big brother, brother Shen, you two can stay here for a long time, and you don't have to worry about your legs. Doctor Wei said that it will be fine in two months, even if it's not good by then, Doctor Mu I often come to stay for a few days.”

"Speaking of this, I forgot to ask, what did you smear on my face a few days ago? When I looked in the mirror last night, I almost scared to death."

"That's what Dr. Wei followed Mu Shen to treat, and it's good for your injuries."

Huo Jiulin sat beside Shen Yiqing and said, "Ah Qing, you don't know what I was like last night. Fortunately, I took a look in the mirror before going to you and cleaned it up. Otherwise, I would scare you to death. Ask Bihua Bamboo's disguise technique is much more powerful."

"Speaking of Hua Zuo Shi, I remembered that when Helian Wuye was almost shot by an arrow that day, a man in black jumped out to save him. I still couldn't figure out who it could be, it was a member of their demon sect ?”

Huo Jiulin smiled, "You really didn't see it?"

"Huh? Do you know him?"

"You know it too."

"who is it?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Xue Yinhan."

Shen Yiqing was a little surprised, "Xue Yinhan? How do you guess him?"

"First of all, the voice is a bit similar, and secondly, you forgot that he also assassinated me in black with his face masked when he was in Fengfengzhai. I think it looks quite similar."

"But isn't he from there?"

"I don't know why he helped. I just wonder if he also wrote the note that was shot on the dart in our room."

"I really didn't expect that when you said you wanted to cooperate last time, he also refused, and what's going on now, he's quite difficult to understand."

"Ah Qing, as long as you understand me, others will care about him."

"You and I don't understand anymore."

"What?"

"Who can understand the mind of a hooligan?"

"What you said is wrong. Isn't it the best to understand the mind of a hooligan? Of course he is playing hooligans!"

As he said that, he pinched Shen Yiqing's waist, and Shen Yiqing glanced at Du Huaike in fright. Fortunately, Du Huaike was remembering what he was looking for by the Xitan, so he pushed Huo Jiulin and said in a low voice, "Get lost, I didn't see Xiao Ke. Are you still there?! If you scare the child later, see how I will deal with you!"

"How can it be? He is playing with stones. Let's kiss him first before he sees it."

As Huo Jiulin said, he sneaked a kiss on Shen Yiqing's face, and Shen Yiqing looked at each other angrily. At this moment, he heard Du Huaike's voice next to him: "Big brother, why did you kiss brother Shen?"

Shen Yiqing: "!!"

"I kiss you Brother Shen, naturally because I like him...ah..."

Huo Jiulin yelled loudly, the flesh around her waist was almost pinched off by Shen Yiqing, and her daughter-in-law became more and more aggressive. Du Huaike walked over and asked, "Like? It's like my father likes my mother." Is that so?"

"Of course."

Shen Yiqing was afraid that Huo Jiulin would say something earth-shattering, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, "Xiao Ke, why have I never seen your parents?"

"My parents died long ago."

Uh... He seemed to ask something that shouldn't be asked, but Du Huaike's expression didn't seem to be any different, instead he was still studying the stone in his hand.

"Aren't you sad?"

"What are you sad about? Mother said that she is going to accompany Daddy. Daddy will be very lonely in the sky alone, but I still have Grandpa and the whole Jixi Valley to accompany me."

"How did your parents die?"

"Grandpa said that my father had always been in poor health. He died of illness when I was six years old. My mother shed tears all day long. Not long after, she told me that she was going to be with my father, and then she died the next day. Didn't wake up."

"How dare you..."

How can you be willing to leave such a young child behind? Although the husband and wife are deeply affectionate, aren't mother and child also deeply affectionate?Now only Du Huaike and his grandfather are left to depend on each other.

"Brother Shen, look, isn't this stone very beautiful?"

Du Huaike held up the stone in his hand, Shen Yiqing glanced at it, it was a red, round, pretty piece.

"Um……"

"I have a jade pendant that is very similar to this one. It was left to me by my father. It is very beautiful, but my grandfather forbids me to wear it, because I almost lost it last time, so I keep it in the room until I go back. I'll show you later."

"OK……"

"There is the sea ahead, let me show you the sea, it is very big and beautiful."

Du Huaike walked in front, Huo Jiulin squatted down and carried Shen Yiqing on his back, and the group walked forward. After a while, they saw the vast and boundless sea with layers of waves, making people forget where they were.

"Brother, look, this is the sea. We have a big boat here, and everyone will go fishing every now and then. It's a pity that children can't go with it."

Huo Jiulin saw that Du Huaike's small face was full of disappointment, and comforted him with a smile: "What are you envious of, when you grow up, you can go wherever you want."

"So now I eat a lot every day, and then I can grow up quickly, and I can become as good-looking as Brother Shen."

Shen Yiqing frowned and asked Huo Jiulin: "What did you tell him? Why did he keep saying today that he can become like me when he grows up?"

Huo Jiulin couldn't help laughing. At this time, a person walked slowly beside him. He seemed to be a middle-aged man, but he was leaning on a cane. He was far away so he couldn't see his face clearly, but the aura around him gave off a kind of Feeling warm and moist like jade.

"Ah, big brother, I remembered who painted that painting just now."

"Really? Who drew it?"

Du Huaike raised his finger and pointed at the man who came over, Huo Jiulin asked with some doubts: "Who is he?"

"Uncle Xia, Uncle Xia is amazing. He is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He even taught me how to play Go before. It's a pity that I am stupid and slow to learn."

"Uncle Xia? His surname is Xia? What's his name?"

"I don't know, I always call him Uncle Xia."

"what happened?"

Shen Yiqing felt that something was wrong with Huo Jiulin today. Huo Jiulin looked at the people in front of him carefully, and said unsurely: "Look, he can draw a portrait of my master, which means he knows my master, and the painting is so good that even the expression is exactly the same. , besides his good painting skills, he must be very familiar with my master, and his surname is Xia, tell me, is it possible that he is... Xia Chen?"

"Xia Chen? The young master Li Shumen back then? Isn't he the one your master loves? But why is he here?"

"Yeah...my master has been looking for him all his life, why is he here..."
