After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere in the box became better and better as people toasted each other.
The friendship between Xiao Chen and the bearded man seemed to be growing deeper.
"Senior, come, I'll toast you another glass."
Xiao Chen poured wine for the bearded man.
"Haha, you want to get me drunk and get something out of me?"
The bearded man narrowed his eyes and smiled at Xiao Chen.
"No, I just regret that we met too late."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
“I have also learned a lot from you.”
"I'm just a businessman, what can I learn?"
The bearded man clinked glasses with Xiao Chen and drank the wine.
"But Chen Xiao, I still have high hopes for you, and you have the confidence to be on par with Qing Yunzi and the others."
"Haha, it's not about being on par with others, it's about surpassing them."
Xiao Chen corrected him.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, beyond."
The bearded man laughed.
"Based on what you said, I can tell you a piece of news..."
"What?"
Xiao Chen was curious.
"It is rumored that this is Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo..."
The bearded man paused and lowered his voice when he said this.
"Actually, this is not a rumor."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"You mean, this is Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo?"
"That's right."
The bearded man nodded.
"Why would I come here so many times? It's a pity that I still couldn't enter Xuanyuan Realm."
"So, you came back after the hides appeared?"
Xiao Chen asked calmly.
"Well, come and see."
The bearded man nodded.
"Boy, let me tell you, this is not only Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo, but also... there are guardians here."
"Guardian?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Protect what? Protect the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan? Or the dojo?"
“I think both.”
The bearded man said slowly.
"Generation after generation, guarding here..."
"Guardian..."
Xiao Chen muttered, and the face of 'Blacksmith Zhang' appeared in his mind.
His ancestors came from here, went out to learn skills, and then he came back...
This is what Zhang the blacksmith said, but what is the reality?
Could Blacksmith Zhang be the guardian of this place?
"Kid, keep a low profile in Xuanyuan Town. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers here."
The bearded man looked at Xiao Chen and said again.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"I have always been a low-key person."
"Really? Hahaha, I didn't notice that."
The bearded man laughed, shook his head and said no more.
"Come, have a drink."
"Okay, drink."
Xiao Chen didn't ask any more questions, as he already knew the previous news.
Especially what Jiuwei said, which made him almost certain that this was the dojo of Emperor Xuanyuan.
The latter piece of news is a new gain.
The guardians... have been guarding here for generations, so do they know something?
"Is it one person, or multiple people? Blacksmith Zhang?"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself that based on this news alone, this dinner tonight was worth it.
After more than an hour, the show ended.
"Where do you live, senior? I'll take you there."
Xiao Chen stood up, staggering.
"No, I can go back by myself."
The bearded man shook his head.
"You guys... let's go."
"Okay, go out first."
Wang Pingbei, who drank the least, settled the bill, and the three of them supported each other and left the restaurant.
"Let's go. I had a great time drinking tonight. I haven't had this much fun in a long time."
The bearded man waved his hand.
"I... am counting on you."
"Haha, I will definitely... not let you down."
"I'm leaving."
The bearded man staggered and walked to the left.
Soon, his figure disappeared from their sight.
"Let's go too."
Xiao Chen said to Wang Pingbei.
"Brother Chen, do you need me to help you?"
Wang Pingbei asked.
"No, I'm not drunk."
Xiao Chen said as he walked to the right.
“…”
Wang Pingbei was stunned. He could barely walk steadily just now. Was he pretending?
"Let's go, why are you standing there like an idiot?"
Xiao Chen turned around and said.
"Brother Chen, you're not drunk?"
Wang Pingbei quickly caught up with him.
"No, haha, he's not drunk either."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I'm drunk, it's just an attitude, it's time to go."
“…”
Wang Pingbei was speechless. Are these two people acting?
"We are all adults, there are some things that we all understand."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Do you think he said this was Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo and that there were guardians here because he was drunk?"
"Isn't it?"
Wang Pingbei was surprised, and he was secretly happy at that time.
"Of course not. He said so, either so he could tell me or because he had his own purpose."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"What is the purpose?"
Wang Pingbei asked hurriedly.
"It's hard to say, but we have gained something. We know about the 'Guardian'. Of course, its authenticity still needs to be verified."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Let's go back."
"oh oh."
Wang Pingbei responded and quickly followed.
The bearded man on the other side, just as Xiao Chen said, was not drunk at all.
He looked back, and then released his spiritual sense to sense something.
He waited until he was sure no one was staring at him before he smiled.
"What an interesting boy..."
The bearded man picked up the yellow gourd, took another sip of wine, and then took out a sound transmission stone.
Soon, a light flashed on the sound transmission stone and a voice was heard.
"What's the matter, so late?"
"I just finished drinking with Chen Xiao... I told him about the guardian."
"Why?"
“Because I think the time has come.”
"What did he say?"
"Nothing to say, let's see what happens next."
"good."
“…”
…
Xiao Chen returned to the inn and did not tell Wang Pingbei that he planned to go out for a walk in the evening.
After sending Wang Pingbei back to his room, he practiced until the second half of the night, then opened the window and left quietly.
At this time, there were not many lights in Xuanyuan Town, and it was far less lively than Sifang City.
There are no red-light districts or black markets here.
There were a few buildings with lights on…During the day, Xiao Chen walked past the door and it was the brothel here.
This thing...will tend to exist as long as there are people.
Of course, there aren’t that many twists and turns here, it’s basically just straight forward…
"The Wenqing Building is here, but there is no branch building... Could it be that the Wenqing Building is not interested in Emperor Xuanyuan's inheritance?"
Xiao Chen muttered, retracted his gaze, and took out the Xuanyuan Sword and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Root from the bone ring.
"#%..."
As soon as the spiritual roots of heaven and earth came out, they started shouting.
"Don't shout, keep your voice down..."
Xiao Chen made a 'silence' gesture to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root.
"Xiao Gen, let's just walk around and see if there are any treasures."
"#￥%..."
The Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth looked at Xiao Chen and jumped onto his shoulder.
"hehe."
Xiao Chen smiled and wandered around Xuanyuan Town without any destination in mind.
He had already visited the place once during the day and knew most of the places by heart.
This time, it was not him who was strolling, but the Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth.
In addition, he was also looking forward to what the evil dragon spirit would think of or what reaction it would have.
As for the Sword Soul... let's wait and release it.
"Brother Long, did you sense anything?"
Xiao Chen held the hilt of the knife and asked.
"This is Xuanyuan Town. The nearby Dihai is the dojo of Emperor Xuanyuan..."
"No."
The voice of the evil dragon spirit rang out in Xiao Chen's mind.
"No hurry, just take a look first."
Xiao Chen was strolling around casually with a gun and a knife.
He didn't expect to gain anything just after coming out.
Especially the spirit of the evil dragon, it has been sealed for too long and has lost too much memory.
Maybe it doesn't even know Emperor Xuanyuan's dojo...
"Xiao Gen, if you find anything, tell me immediately."
Xiao Chen touched the spiritual root of heaven and earth on his shoulder again and said.
"#￥%..."
The spiritual roots of heaven and earth responded, staring with their round little eyes, looking around.
Xiao Chen wandered aimlessly in Xuanyuan Town, and almost visited the entire town, but still found nothing.
"Next, we have to go outside the town..."
Xiao Chen thought about it and decided to go to Luojian Peak first.
He vaguely felt that there might be some connection between Luojian Peak and Emperor Xuanyuan's Taoist temple.
Soon, Xiao Chen arrived at Luojian Peak and made a new discovery.
Blacksmith Zhang said that at noon, the sunlight would shine through the gap and form a shadow of a sword on the ground.
At this time, the moon was high in the sky and the moonlight was like water.
He discovered...the projection on the ground was not as straight as it was during the day, but had a slight curve.
"This... the day is a sword and the night is a knife?"
Xiao Chen looked at the projection and felt something in his heart.
Relatively speaking, the reflection at this time looks more like a knife!
"Sword... knife... knife meets knife, inheritance appears... Could it be that this knife meets knife is not referring to Xuanyuan Knife and Xuanyuan Sword? No, it must be related to Xuanyuan Knife and Xuanyuan Sword."
Thoughts flashed through Xiao Chen's mind, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the projection on the ground looked like the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Brother Long, do you think it looks like you?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and asked.
"What? You bound me with your scabbard, how can I see it?"
The dragon spirit responded.
"Uh, can't you use your spiritual sense? Okay, then I'll take you out."
As Xiao Chen spoke, he drew out...the peerless green sword.
The next second, the corners of his mouth twitched wildly, and it took a lot of effort to hold back from laughing out loud.
I have seen too many knives, but this green knife... is definitely the only one of its kind!
"Why do your emotions fluctuate so much?"
Suddenly, the spirit of the evil dragon asked.
"Ah? No, I was a little excited when I saw the knife shadow."
Xiao Chen quickly shook his head and pointed at the projection on the ground.
"Brother Long, look quickly, is this you?"
"How could it be me? He doesn't look like me."
After a few seconds, the Evil Dragon Spirit seemed to have finished reading and replied.
"Don't you think so?"
Xiao Chen frowned, looked more carefully, and was surprised to find that... the projection on the ground was slowly changing.
"It has something to do with the moon..."
Xiao Chen raised his head suddenly. Luojian Peak was not moving, but the position of the moon was changing.
As the position of the moon changes, the projection on the ground will change.
"Xiao Gen, did you find anything?"
Xiao Chen looked at the spiritual root of heaven and earth on his shoulder again and asked.
"#%..."
The Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth yelled a few words, but it was obvious that he had discovered nothing.
"and you……"
Xiao Chen was about to say something when he suddenly noticed a sound of breaking air. The moment he looked up, he put the Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth into the bone ring.
