Tie Qingyi listened to him sing the latter half of the poem "Righteous Bestowal" from Bai Le's previous dynasty. His song seemed to be filled with an ancient feeling, but it also exuded a kind of carefree and magnanimous feeling.

However, this person had only sung four verses before stopping abruptly. He could not help but respond to the remaining four verses loudly, "Yan Hui short-lived and extremely hungry, I have already received a lot. Fame and wealth must be kept on standby, if not, I will not be able to do anything." His voice was long and resonant, full of vigor and vitality. The mountains echoed without end for a long time.

A man in a purple brocade robe, with a high forehead and white hair, pushed open the door and walked out. Seeing the two of them have an extraordinary aura, he said in a clear voice: "I am an old man from a village, and I do not know that a respected guest has come. "Forgive me!

Tie Qingyi quickly said: "This junior and junior were lusting after the scenery and mistakenly entered the depths of the mountain. I never thought that I would disturb Mister's mood. Please forgive me for being so rude." Both Li Yan and Li Jun were secretly amazed, how could there be such a lofty figure within the forest deep in the Wu Yu Mountain?

The old man laughed and said, "Esteemed guest, this old man is honored to meet you. Please speak in the courtyard."

Entering the courtyard, the fragrance of the flowers greeted their eyes. The two people's eyes lit up as they saw the surrounding flowers and branches surrounding the wall, looking as brilliant as brocade clouds. The bluestone floor was as smooth and smooth as a blade. There were three to five rows of stone tables and chairs, with zithers, chess tables, jade plates, and pots placed on top. All of them were extremely exquisite items.

The old man invited the two to sit down and said: "Welcome, honorable guest!"

Tie Qingyi said: "If this place is considered crude, then I'm afraid there won't be any elegance in this world!"

The old man laughed heartily and straightforwardly poured tea for the two of them. He stroked his beard and said, "Breaking free from all troubles and worries, Xiao Ao and the forest, contented and at ease. This old man's wish is mine as well."

Li Yan praised, "Old mister has drifted away from the mortal world, unaffected by the trivial matters of the mortal world, truly envious."

"I understand now," Tie Qingyi laughed, "Based on what you said, you are definitely not a mediocre person. Yet, you are willing to live in seclusion in the forest. Truly a reclusive sage. "

"You're wrong!" The old man said sternly, "It is because I am sad that I am able to hide from the mountains. On the other hand, the two of them were calm and collected, their martial arts were profound and amazing. Their young master was handsome, and he was not someone who lived in a pool. This old one has the honor of meeting two dragons and phoenixes today, and is extremely happy. "

Li Yan was naturally intelligent, just like Li Longzi had said, proficient in the art of zither, chess and painting. Master Tie Qing Yi was a famous person. These two had always had their eyes set on the top, and had never admired anyone before. However, this old man was able to tell the difference between a person's skill from his walking speed and the way he exhaled and spoke. His sharp vision and deep experience made him feel a sense of respect.

Tie Qingyi cupped his hands and said: "Old sir, you have concealed your strength well, you truly are an otherworldly expert! Just now, this junior presumptuously accepted the song. It was truly rude to the extreme. "

"Young Master is too polite." The old man waved his hand and said, "It's fine if you don't sing the last few lines, but this old man thinks that the last four lines are a huge failure. If this poem were to end with 'There's still wine and songs', then how carefree and generous would he be! "

Li Yan blinked her big eyes, smiled and said, "Sir, you are too kind, I do not agree. Mr. Le Tian is called Xiang Shan Jushi, and also Mr. Drunken Yin. However, looking at his name, it seems like he's an elegant person.

"Oh?" The old man's interest was burning. "This young lady will definitely understand, I am willing to listen to your opinions."

Li Yan's eyes moved, she was captivating, she slowly walked to the side of the flower, picked a red flower, and said: "The so called Heaven's Mandate, the Heavenly Dao. For example, the blooming and wilting of plants and trees, the laws of nature.

"I think the word 'joyous' means that Mr. Drunken Yin has broken the law of prosperity and fits the meaning of nature." The word 'command' implied the true meaning of life and even the value of life. Now that he had broken through the laws of nature and the meaning of life, what else was there to worry about?

"It can be seen that Mister Drunken Yin's name as' Le Tian 'isn't necessarily a great realm for understanding all living things. He absolutely cannot be indifferent to the lack of ambition that follows the heavens. Therefore, in "Yi", there was a saying: 'Happy Heaven knows fate, so I'm not worried', and there was even a former master of classics, Kong Yingda, who strived for perfection, saying: 'The constant that follows the Dao of the Heavens, the constant that knows the way of life, the principle of nature, the cause of unworry.'

Saying that, she returned to her seat. Li Yan bowed slightly, smiled and said, "This little girl is just playing with her tongue, acting in the open, and you don't know the depth of it. Sir, please don't laugh."

A look of deep thought appeared on the old man's wide forehead as he suddenly slammed the stone table. He stood up, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "Young lady, please accept this old man's bow!"

Li Yan took two steps aside to get out of the way, and was stunned, "What is the old sir doing? This little girl will die! "

The old man's eyes sparkled as he sighed: "The wild and boundless world is full of capable people. This old man has always been self-confident, knowledgeable in both ancient and modern times. Embarrassed, ashamed. A thousand gold is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to come by. The words of the young lady caused this old one to be enlightened, and it was no different from giving advice to Lu Jinyu. Such an esteemed guest should be entertained in the hall. " Turning his head back, he called out loudly, "Xin Er, there's a distinguished guest coming. Little girl, you've come out to broaden your horizons, to witness the presence of an expert." The room was completely silent. No one came out.

The old man shook his head, "This child is usually high and mighty, and often laments that there are no decent people in the martial arts world today. When a true hero comes, he is actually reserved and doesn't dare to meet."

Leading the two of them to the door, his gaze swept across Li Yan's waist, and said hesitantly: "Because this old one loves to collect precious calligraphy and paintings, my swords and weapons are tainted with the scent of blood and fear of being tainted by the pure breath of the treasure, this … This old one has an unwritten rule, which is that weapons are not allowed to enter this room. This young lady is graceful, this old one is obsessed with foolish things, please forgive me. "

Li Yan secretly sensed that the old man's gaze was sharp, but her face remained calm and collected, and she lightly smiled, "In this matter, I am more interested in Sir's elegance."

If you want to go to hell, do as the people say. "As Fang Xing did, he took out a silver whip and Tie Qingyi lightly tugged at the corner of her clothes as she stood up and said:" Junior suddenly remembered that I still have two friends waiting for me at the foot of the mountain. The two of us are happy here, but making friends eat in the wild is not the way to get along. It would be better if junior Mu Zhuo dressed himself and paid a visit to them. I will do my best to avoid the two friends from hanging around, so junior will take my leave now. "

Li Yan was stunned, only to see that Tie Qingyi's gaze was fixated on a gauntlet on the weapon rack under the eaves. She seemed to be thinking about something.

The hook was extremely peculiar. It was small, narrow and long with a slender body. It was unknown what it was made of, but it was different from the gauntlets that were passed down in the martial arts world.

Tie Qingyi looked at him with suspicion. This narrow and curved hook was clearly the weapon in the hands of the lady from that night. For some reason, it had appeared in the courtyard of this old mountain and forest.

The old man also noticed Tie Qingyi's peculiar expression and said in a clear voice: "That's right, this old man will not force you to stay. I hope that Young Master will keep his promise and gather earlier."

Although Li Yan felt that something was amiss, she knew that there must be something more to it, so she replied, "Sorry to trouble you, Mister."

They walked out of the courtyard hand in hand. After walking for about one or two kilometers, Li Yan couldn't help but ask, "Evil thief, what's the situation?"
