"Idiot, that man broke the knife with his finger and wore a mask to hide his identity. He must be an immortal. If you cause trouble for him, you are courting death, right?"

The short-bearded man patted his subordinate on the head, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity.

They have offended the immortal today, and who knows if it will affect the assessment of the immortal disciples in three months.

Outside Xuanlu City, Jiang Zhige was also in a very heavy mood.

“With great power comes great responsibility.”

"It's really hard to be a human being in this world."

If he had no power, it would be normal for him to watch someone die without helping in order to protect himself. However, if he had this power and only cared about himself, how could he have a clear conscience?

My current state of mind is no different from that of Jiang Zhige, who was cursed for saving the people in my memory. Will I make the same mistake again one day? Jiang Zhige shook his head and sighed, and simply stopped thinking about it.

He thought that life would be wonderful after he got out of trouble, but he didn't expect that in just one day, he was so upset and couldn't muster up that excitement anymore.

The sun sets and the night deepens.

In Hanjia Village, a one-armed old man lies in a rocking chair in the yard, gazing at the bright moon and drinking alone.

His eyes were slightly lonely, and he sighed: "The sun is about to set and the flowers are covered with smoke."

"The moon is bright and I am worried and can't sleep."

As soon as these words were spoken, the old man frowned and turned his head to look at the roof.

On the roof stood a man dressed in black and wearing a mask.

"Who is coming?"

"I am an unknown person. I heard that there is a sword master here, so I came to ask for advice."

The man in black landed right in front of the old man and took out a three-foot-long sword out of thin air.

"Kill people if you want to, why ask for advice?"

The old man sneered and took another sip of wine calmly.

Although he didn't know the other party's origins, he knew that he was most likely someone seeking revenge.

Before he could finish his words, the man in black stabbed at him with a sword.

The one-armed old man jumped out of the rocking chair and easily avoided it, feeling somewhat confused.

The other party didn't use any spiritual power. Could it be that he really came to learn sword moves?

"Well, I haven't exercised for a few years, so I'll practice with you today."

The one-armed old man didn't think much about it. He picked up a branch and fought with the man in black.

Under the moonlight, the sword shadows are sharp.

The sword moves of both sides were extremely exquisite. Although they did not use spiritual power, they had already surpassed the scope of mortals.

If you look closely, you can find some similarities.

The one-armed old man felt something was wrong the more he fought, so he retreated ten meters away and asked in confusion, "Daoyou, could it be that you are from Tianyun Pavilion?"

After leaving Tianyun Pavilion, he was not clear about the development of Tianyun Pavilion. Perhaps it was the young people of Tianyun Pavilion who found this place.

The man in black did not explain, but reached out and slowly took off the black mask.

"Brother Lu, long time no see."

Jiang Zhige smiled and bowed.

Lu Tianjiao's face was instantly filled with shock and he looked at him in disbelief.

After a long while, Lu Tianjiao suddenly laughed and said with emotion: "Brother Jiang, long time no see."

He knew that how could Jiang Zhige, who rose from a beggar to an emperor, die so easily?

After Jiang Zhige brought Qi Muyao back to Qinghe Village, he did not rush to give her a medicinal bath to heal her scars, but instead found Hanjia Village through the help of ghosts and gods.

This place is the territory of Shangquanzhou where they parted that year. When Jiang Zhige saw Han Chang's Nine Swords of Wuzong, he knew that Lu Tianjiao was nearby.

Logically speaking, those memories were fabricated, and Lu Tianjiao did not exist at all. Even if he did exist, Jiang Zhige should avoid meeting anyone who knew the Demon Emperor.

However, for some reason, when Jiang Zhige learned that Lu Tianjiao was nearby, he felt an unstoppable emotion and excitement in his heart.

Now that they have been able to meet each other, he feels as if he has met again after a long separation, with mixed emotions.

Was it the body that affected him? Or was it the rewritten memory? Jiang Zhige himself didn't know.

"Brother Jiang, since you are not dead, why do you want to..."

Lu Tianjiao was filled with mixed emotions. After eight hundred years of separation, everything and everyone had really changed.

"It's a long story, let's drink first."

Jiang Zhige took out a jar of immortal wine and sat on the ground.

The reason why he faked his death and left Zhengyang Temple could be explained to Lu Tianjiao as long as he covered it up.

"Drink, drink."

Lu Tianjiao's face immediately showed joy. He had even forgotten how many years it had been since he had tasted the fairy wine.

The two sat on the ground, talking about old times as well as interesting things that happened in recent years, and there was no estrangement between them, just like in the memory.

After three rounds of drinking, after listening to Jiang Zhige's reasons for leaving Zhengyang Temple, Lu Tianjiao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said drunkenly, "Brother Jiang, if Zi Yan and the others find out about your reasons, won't you be in big trouble?"

Jiang Zhige's whitewashed explanation was also one of his original intentions. Nangong Rou and the other two girls loved him deeply at the same time, and he felt guilty, but he couldn't really choose anyone. Instead of being entangled by Nangong Rou and the other two girls, he might as well fake his death and leave to avoid the limelight.

Moreover, if we put ourselves in the shoes of Jiang Zhige in our memory, we would also feel a little discouraged.

"We are both in this world, so you should think more about yourself."

Jiang Zhige shook his head, tilted his head back and took another sip of wine.

The memory scene appeared, and Xiao Ling must be able to see it, and maybe he is already looking for Lu Tianjiao.

Lu Tianjiao's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he sighed softly, "Back then, she and I just met by chance. Hundreds of years have passed, how could she remember a passerby?"

Jiang Zhige's eyes flickered when he saw this. He knew that Lu Tianjiao did not look down on Xiao Ling's feelings for him, but he felt that his cultivation was completely wasted and he had become an old man with white hair, so he was too ashamed to face Xiao Ling.

"Brother Lu, don't worry. When my strength is restored, I will travel all over the world to find a way to rebuild your spiritual veins."

"Let's not talk about this. No matter what happens next, finish this glass of wine first."

Lu Tianjiao smiled, seemingly not caring at all.

He knew that it was possible that even if he searched all the heavens and the universe, he would not be able to find a way to rebuild his spiritual veins.

However, Jiang Zhige's kindness made him have no regrets about knowing this brother in his life.

"That's right, I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight!"

"Don't go home until you're drunk!"

The two of them were just like they were back then, neither of them tried to get rid of the smell of alcohol, nor did they have any snacks to go with the alcohol. They just drank until late at night and passed out.

The next day, just as Jiang Zhige regained some consciousness, he heard footsteps coming from outside the yard.

Jiang Zhige immediately sat up to get rid of the smell of alcohol and took out a black mask to cover his face.

A young man in plain clothes pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Lu Tianjiao lying drunk on the ground, he was immediately shocked and shouted, "Old man Chen?! Are you drunk to death?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Tianjiao woke up groggily, holding his head, and said weakly: "You little brat, what are you yelling about so early in the morning?"

Seeing that Lu Tianjiao was fine, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Jiang Zhige beside him.

Seeing Jiang Zhige wearing a mask, the young man was stunned again and asked, "Benefactor? Why are you here?!"

This young man in plain clothes was none other than Han Chang who was in Xuanlu City yesterday.
