C194

A wisp of smoke slowly rose, bringing Li Ye's thoughts to heaven.

Li Ye stood in front of the grave, looking at the green smoke. He did not say anything but remained motionless. No one knew what he was thinking about …

The surrounding elders stared at Li Ye for a long time. They wanted to know what Li Ye was going to do with these old bones, but after a long time, Li Ye still stood where he was, silently gazing at the grave.

He stood like this from morning until noon, until the old people lost their patience.

After a long time, Li Ye's figure flashed. He pursed his cracked lips and said hoarsely, "Uncles, I'm leaving now. The next time I come, it should be the Qingming Festival."

"That's it." The old man with the severed arm said reluctantly.

The people who had waited twenty years for finally came, but only for a few hours before leaving. No one would want to part with them, and these old men couldn't help but urge Li Ye to stay.

Li Ye had made up his mind to leave. No matter how these old men tried to persuade him to stay, Li Ye just smiled faintly and walked towards the ferry with the saber in his hand.

Seeing that Li Ye was determined to leave, Wenren Feng and the old man who was carrying the boat exchanged a glance and came up with an idea. Ten years of general elections!

Looking at the date, it was not too far from the old days, so it didn't matter if he did it in advance.

Both Wenren Feng and the old man looked at Li Ye at the same time. They were well aware of the strength of the other lackeys on the island. They were much stronger than Wu Lin's lackeys on the outside, but they were still weaker by more than a level when compared to this lackey. Perhaps, the arrival of this kid would be able to retrieve the Sword Tomb's name from Bai Jingshan.

"Kid, don't be in such a hurry to leave." Wenren Chuchu took a step forward and pulled Li Ye back, tempting him, "Kid, there's a very important competition recently. It's a competition that determines the strength of the swordsmen. According to your status, you can also participate. "

"Sword Head Wu Lin?" Li Ye rolled his eyes at Wenren Chuchu and said lightly, "Isn't the martial arts leader the White Sword Immortal? When did we get here? "

Li Ye's words made Wenren Chuchu blush. Li Ye's words didn't mean to embarrass the Sword Tomb. What Li Ye said was the truth, not the slightest bit of falsehood.

These old men could bear the truth of Li Ye's words, but some of them could not.

"You dare!?" What are you talking about? When did our Sword Tomb not become the Sword Head! " The one who said these words was not the old man surrounding Li Ye, but a young man who had come out from a pile of weeds.

Looking at the weeds above his head, it seemed that this person had been eavesdropping for a long time.

"Wenren Xing, what are you talking about?! Apologize! " Wenren Chuchu glared at the young man who had just spoken. What he said just now had made him blush even more. He turned his head to look at Li Ye, intending to apologize.

"Uncle, this kid is a bit too out of place, but there are some things I need to say!" Li Ye waved his hand and said lightly, "Did I say something wrong? How could White Sword Immortal's Sword Cultivation be comparable to him? "

"Teacher, am I wrong? What do I have to apologize for? " Wenren Chuchu did not want to lower her head, so she just glared at Li Ye and shouted, "I don't know about the White Sword Immortal's cultivation base, I only know about the Sword Tomb's number one under heaven!"

"Thirty years ago." Li Ye added.

Wenren Xing was dissatisfied, "Isn't that the case for the past twenty years?"

"The answer is, no!" Li Ye shook his head and said slowly, "The Sword Tomb has been declining for the past twenty years. My master told me that he doesn't know why the Sword Tomb is getting worse every year, but if he was here now, he would probably know."

Wenren Chuchu's eyes lit up. He had been paying attention to this question for a long time, so he looked at Li Ye and asked in surprise, "Then tell me, why do you think the Sword Tomb is getting worse every year?"

Li Ye pointed at Wenren Xing and said lightly, "Him!"

"Me?" At first, Wenren Xing was surprised, but then he pointed at Li Ye and ridiculed, "How could I let the Sword Tomb decline? "Son, I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet. What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Wenren Xing! "Shut up!" Wenren Chuchu turned around and glared at him. He was also puzzled by Li Ye's answer. How could he let the Sword Tomb fall?

"Naturally, it's not him alone. It's all the people like him in the Sword Tomb." Li Ye shook his head. "It's been too long since someone came out of the Sword Tomb. It's been too long since anyone's seen the situation under the heavens."

"What do you mean?" Wenren Chuchu tilted his head and asked.

"I've seen a joke about frogs that have never stepped out of a dry well. It's too small for a swan to look at the world." As Li Ye spoke, he looked at Wenren Xing from time to time, making her blush.

"Don't hide, I'm talking about you." Don't hide, I'm talking about you. Li Ye glanced at the evasive Wenren Xing and continued, "It's the same here in the Sword Tomb. If you stay here long, you won't be able to think of this world. It's time for all of you to go out and take a walk, so that you don't have to obsess over the fact that Number One Under Heaven is the real deal. "

Wenren Chuchu was also lost in thought. She said lightly: "Sit at the well and watch the sky. Should I really walk out …"

Finished speaking, Li Ye bowed slightly to the old man, turned around, and walked towards the ferry.

"Stop, I want to challenge you!" Seeing that Li Ye was about to leave, Wenren Xing shouted loudly. He drew his sword and placed it in front of Li Ye, blocking his path.

Li Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at him, smiling lightly, "You still don't understand?"

"I understand, but I don't." Wenren Chuchu shook her head and continued, "Well, according to what you said, I should go out for a walk. But when I come out of the well, I must have a ladder?"

"You mean, I'm your first step?" Li Ye took a serious look at Wenren Xing and burst out laughing.

Wenren Xing stared at Li Ye, gritted his teeth and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Li Ye laughed brightly, "I was afraid that you would tumble after your first step and never want to climb out of this dry well again."

The more people fall, the faster they will grow. The phoenix needs rebirth, and the cocoon will eventually transform into a butterfly! Wenren Xing lowered his head and slowly grasped the sword in his hand, shouting word by word in a low voice towards Li Ye.

Seeing the look in the man's eyes, Li Ye also withdrew the joke in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Okay, then I will be your first step!"

"Uncle, may I borrow your sword?" Li Ye shouted at the still dazed Wenren Feng, "Since you want to become my stepping stone, then I will show you how high the Heavenly Mountain of the Sword Truth is!"

"Yangzhou Sword Tomb, Wenren Xing Te is here to seek advice!" Wenren Chuchu gave a respectful bow to Li Ye and slowly drew out her long sword. She drew half an inch back and raised her hand two inches. Her body was like a bow ready to be shot.

Li Ye stared blankly. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled, slightly moved his body and made the same gesture as Wenren Xing. He slowly said, "Green Bamboo Monastery of the Azure Province. Li Ye, please enlighten me!"
