Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The world of martial arts is not only about swords and sabers, but also about human relationships!

It was still the same wine stall at the crossroads, still welcoming and seeing off passers-by, and still having rows of jars of medicinal liquor, but today the stall was booked out by someone.

Surrounding him were warriors wielding iron swords and silver spears. There were only two people in the tavern, one old and one young. The owner of the tavern had already been driven away.

The shopkeeper stood under a tree, looking at his wine stall from afar, cursing in his heart:

"Are you sick, you Huangfu family? Can't you go find a better restaurant? This is just a wine shed!"

Alas, poor shop owner, he almost lost all his clothes last time, and this time he was directly kicked out!

Inside the wine shed.

"Grandpa, why did you send Uncle Bao to do such an important task? His cultivation is not even as good as mine!"

The young man didn't drink alcohol, he drank tea, which he probably brought with him! But the old man drank wine!

"You are still young, there are some things you don't understand. Although Sanbao's cultivation is low, he knows when to advance and when to retreat, and he knows my heart. It's hard for him to stay by my side for so many years!"

The old man had an official-like face and kind eyes. Although he was drinking, he did not drink a lot and did not look drunk at all.

"Grandpa, why did the various sects in Yingzhou join forces to kill the eldest daughter of the Murong family in Youzhou?"

Young people have been wanting to ask this question for a long time!

"Kill? What is killing? Well, if killing can solve all problems, the various sects in Yingzhou would not have been independent for thousands of years! But grandpa also doesn't understand, who is the person who made this move? Who is he playing against?"

After the old man finished speaking, he shook his head and handed the wine to the young man in gorgeous clothes.

"Fei'er, try Grandpa's wine. Since you plan to enter the martial arts world, how can you not know how to drink?"

"Grandpa, I drink tea, tea brings life! I don't like drinking alcohol, it destroys and reshapes!"

The old man laughed when he heard this, but he still drank the wine himself.

"When you like drinking someday, Grandpa will be relieved!"

The young man didn't care and of course he wouldn't drink.

"Grandpa, Uncle Bao is back!"

On the official road heading north from the crossroads, a man and a horse were galloping towards them. They must have traveled a very long way, because the horse was foaming at the mouth and fell beside the crossroads, and the man was pale and kneeling on the ground.

The young man in the wine tent jumped out, helped the man up, and came into the wine tent.

"Uncle Bao, what's wrong with you?"

The young man asked softly as he poured him a cup of tea.

The man called Uncle Bao had a square face and was thin, with a broken nose. He was the one who killed Murong Ruoxi on a rainy night and was persuaded to return by Xiao Yingxu. He ran back all night long and walked for a whole day and a half. He knew that his old master was waiting for news from him.

After taking a sip of tea, Uncle Bao said weakly:

"Old Master, Sanbao failed to complete the task, Sanbao is guilty!"

After saying this, he wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by the young man next to him.

"Uncle Bao, how come you came back so quickly without completing the mission? Where are the others who went with you? And where are the people from various sects?"

"Sanbao, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

The old man did not blame Sanbao and seemed very happy to see Sanbao come back!

Sanbao was shocked when he heard this, but he immediately understood that his old master sent him to kill people just for show and not to really kill them.

"Old Master, someone told me to give this to you!"

After Sanbao finished speaking, he took out the three copper coins and placed them on the table!

The kind-looking old man who had always been calm and composed changed his expression when he saw the three copper coins and asked:

"Is it a child?"

Sanbao was also surprised when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the old master really knew the child!

Sanbao nodded and replied:

"A child who looks about eight or nine years old, he, he, he calls you..."

Sanbao didn't say anything! But the old man smiled and added:

"Old man Huangfu!"

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the three copper coins on the table and asked himself in a low voice:

"Isn't this the fortune he told me?"

Old man Huangfu was really right. This divination was not only for Murong Ruoxi, but also for him. It was just that Murong Ruoxi's divination had no result, but Old man Huangfu's divination came true the moment Sanbao put the three copper coins on the table!

Unfortunately, old man Huangfu obviously doesn’t understand the hexagrams!

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

The young man looked at his grandfather staring at the three copper coins and fell into deep thought.

Old man Huangfu whispered to himself:

"Why is he with the eldest daughter of the Murong family in Youzhou? He walked out of the Wuxu Spirit Valley. Is the source of Taoism going to be destroyed?"

Old man Huangfu turned to look at Sanbao and asked:

"Did he say anything?"

"He, he, he said you owed him money for two fortune-tellings, and he said you should pay for one fortune-telling for his sister-in-law this time!"

Sanbao said Xiao Yingxu’s original words.

"His sister-in-law? The person you want to kill is his sister-in-law?"

"Yeah, that's what the kid called it!"

"interesting!"

After Old Man Huangfu finished speaking, he looked at the three copper coins on the table again and fell into deep thought.

"Uncle Bao, where are the people from other sects?"

Sanbao shook his head. He didn't know! Because before he set out, the old master specifically told him to act alone and let him decide whether to kill or not. When he found that he couldn't kill, he chose not to kill.

Old man Huangfu thought for a long time, then turned to the young man and said:

"Fei'er, haven't you always wanted to go out and gain experience? Grandpa will give you this opportunity, you can enter the martial arts world! Just go and kill that woman, as for whether to kill her or not, it's up to you! Don't force it, and don't be paranoid!"

"Grandpa, really? Can I enter the martial arts world now?"

The young man was very happy because he had been begging his grandfather for a long time!

"Go! By the way, you cannot complete this task together with people from other sects or schools. You make your own judgment and execute it yourself. Do you understand?"

Old man Huangfu gave this warning specifically, probably because he was afraid of being taken advantage of by others.

The young man nodded, a little stunned with excitement!

Old man Huangfu smiled and said:

"Are you still not leaving? If they go far away, you won't be able to find them!"

Old man Huangfu even wants to chase us away!

The young man named Fei'er just left!

"Grandpa, I will be back soon. I will bring you the most mellow wine in Yingzhou!"

The handsome man rode his horse and whipped it, and hurried northward. Soon his figure disappeared in the official road.

"Old Master, you, you just let the young master go like this?"

Sanbao drank another cup of tea and his expression eased a lot.

"Come here, take this table home, remember! These three copper coins cannot be moved, and they cannot be allowed to budge even a little bit!"

Old man Huangfu did not respond to Sanbao, but instead gave such a weird order. He had no choice but to go back and ask the fortune teller to interpret the divination!

"Old Master, what about the safety of the young master?"

Sanbao said again that he was really worried about his young master.

"His safety is in his heart. Let's go! Don't worry about it. If Fei'er knows my heart, your life will be safe. If not, you can't escape the catastrophe of life and death no matter where you are!"

Old man Huangfu is really confident in letting his grandson venture into the world alone!

Old man Huangfu looked up at the official road to the north of Yingzhou, and said to himself:

"Little Heavenly Master, I am the one who fulfilled your destiny. You must protect the talented man of our Huangfu family!"

Old man Huangfu whispered again:

"The Daoyuan Sect wants to establish a relationship with us, so how can our Huangfu family miss it? Fei'er, this is all Grandpa can help you with. You must not take the wrong path or make the wrong move!"

Under the setting sun, it was still the same crossroads, and the same wine stall, but there was one less table. The shopkeeper was really depressed and cursed:

"Are the Huangfu family so great? They are so poor that they can't even afford a table. Ugh!"

On the official road heading north from Yingzhou, the talented young man rode his horse into the deep mountains in the heart of Yingzhou, looked at the colorful autumn scenery of the mountains, and shouted loudly:

"My life, Huangfu Yuanfei, should be colorful like this!"

Hey, he has the nerve to call out this name, Huangfu Yuanfei! Isn't this just a victim? Fortunately, his head is not big!
