Kendo Venom

Chapter 2448 Divination
In that small room in the giant city, the little girl who looked like a delicate doll opened a window again, and her curious eyes followed the figures outside to the front until they disappeared at the end.

When she turned her head, she saw the hunchbacked old man had finished wiping the table, and now he was using a whetstone again, sharpening a sword slowly.

The little girl seemed to understand something, and quickly said:
"Don't worry, that person is not necessarily a bad person, why do you have to kill him?"

The old man's sword sharpening paused again, then he shook his head and smiled, "It's been a long time since I sharpened this sword, and today I suddenly saw an unexpected guest, it's just itchy hands, don't think about it."

The little girl doesn't believe his tricks. From before to now, when did she sharpen her sword suddenly, not for killing people?
When she was very young, one day, someone accidentally broke into this city.

But that person obviously had a very strong purpose, as soon as he entered the city, he wanted to pick someone to attack.

That day, it was the first time that the little girl saw the old man hunched over sharpening his sword, and after finishing sharpening the sword, he walked out of the house hunched over again.

At most, it didn't take more than the time to eat a cake, and the old man came back with the sword.

Accompanying him back was the untreated blood from that place...

Since then, every time the little girl saw the old man speak well, she suddenly began to sharpen her sword, which was most likely a sign that he wanted to do something.

As long as he finished sharpening his sword, he must see some blood.

This time the old man said that he didn't intend to kill anyone, and he didn't intend to see blood. Could it be that he didn't see the other party but himself?

The more the little girl thought about it, the more puzzled she became. After thinking about it, she got up and jumped out of the window, ready to stop the old man:
"I'm serious. The deputy suzerain is not in such a hurry this time. Why do you want to be the first? Do what you have to do, don't meddle in other people's business..."

The old man stopped sharpening his sword.

He placed the sword that was about to rust on the table, looked up at the little girl with a smile, and said, "Did you hear, he said he came from Mo Yuan."

"I know, but that's not the reason why you want to kill him. He didn't hurt anyone in our city, and he didn't have any bad intentions. I can still see that."

The old man shook his head and said softly: "Girl, do you know why we can only live in this city for generations, and let people die less and less, until we are reduced to this point?"

Holding her skirt, the little girl went to sit down opposite the old man, blinked her big watery eyes, and asked, "Why?"

The old man's gaze was as calm as a pitch-black night, but at this moment he was staring at the sword in his hand, and then said slowly: "Our place, ten thousand years ago, was once known as Qingtian Shenzong."

"Originally, our status should be higher than that of the holy courts you saw in those books. In fact, it can't be said to be higher, because we have never lost to them before."

"Later, because of certain things, these holy courts came from behind and attacked us regardless of the consequences."

"Then, our vitality was severely injured, or even completely devastated. Since then, our ancestors have been driven here."

Speaking of this, the old man seemed to remember the master who brought him to practice anytime and anywhere when he was young.

Soon, he recovered from his trance, and said with a faint smile: "At that time, it was Moyuan Holy Court who first proposed to deal with us."

The little girl was silent for a while, and after thinking for a while, she said: "But that was the grievances from the past, it has been ten thousand years, we and the current Moyuan Holy Court, who knows who?"

"That person doesn't know us at all. He just happened to pass by here and wants to heal his injuries. He probably will leave when he's done."

The old man laughed again: "You, you always think of people too simply. If you are like this, sooner or later, you will be deceived by others, you little fool."

The little girl snorted softly, said with a smile: "I won't be easily fooled, who can deceive me? It doesn't exist!"

The old man was tossed about by her words, and he really lost his mind to make a move.

And what this girl said is right, there is a grievance and a debt, and the grievances between ancestors, what's the point of finding revenge on someone who doesn't know anything?

He sighed silently, finally calmed down his thoughts, then got up silently, and returned to the cabinet with the sword in his arms.

Opening the cabinet, he put the rusty sword in, and the old man sighed: "After this time, I don't know how many years it will take before it can see the light of day again, I really can't bear to let your master's sword lose its aura like this. "

The little girl is not a person who likes to fight and shout, she still said happily: "Didn't you just say that it is possible that we will be able to go out soon? At that time, you will take this sword with you, and take it with you." Me, let's go through the rivers and lakes together."

The old man looked back and said with a smile: "At that time, someone more suitable will appear and take you away."

"..."

The little girl couldn't quite understand this.

That's right, at her current age, she still only thinks about being happy every day, having enough food, clothing, warmth and sleep. She has never thought about how to live in the future, how can she think of those things...

So the old man himself laughed it off, and then took out a hexagram plate from another cabinet, and put it on the table.

The little girl's interest was immediately raised.

The old man has two hobbies, one is "sharpening the sword" and the other is playing with his dial.

The former girl didn't like it very much, because every time she sharpened her sword, she would see blood every time. She didn't like to see human blood.

The latter is much more interesting.

Although the old man doesn't divination for himself, he can occasionally calculate other interesting things, and the little girl participates in it, and he also enjoys it.

After the old man had finished laying out the hexagram plate, she immediately came up to her and asked curiously, "What is it going to be this time? Do you want to figure out when we can leave?"

"No, not this one."

The old man glanced at her and said softly, "This time it's for you."

"Me? What can I do?" The little girl lay on the opposite side, slightly puzzled.

Regarding this point, the old man did not explain further.

He closed his eyes quietly, then took a deep breath——

Then, the little girl didn't know what he was playing with, and it didn't take more than thirty breaths at most, and it seemed that there was a result.

At this time, she didn't dare to disturb the old man loudly, so she could only hold her hands to her lips and ask in a low voice: "What is it?"

Only then did she see that the old man's expression seemed a little strange.

It's not ugly, and it doesn't look like a good hexagram. In short, it looks weird, making people feel a little...inexplicable?
So the little girl couldn't hold back, and asked again: "Have you figured it out?"

The old man moved his mouth, but he didn't say it the first time.

Once again, after he calmed down, he looked at the little girl who seemed to understand, and said something like this:
"Xian: Heng. Lizhen. Take the girl."

"Sixth day, salty thumb."
