  We went back to the old man's house. The old man gave me a sword and said: Last time I told you, I'd give you that thing, but I think it's not very suitable either, because there's no way to put it away. This sword doesn't have a name, but it has spirituality. It's very dull, but once it sees blood, it gets sharper quickly. I know some people say the same about Yang Zhenggang's sword, but that's fake. This is real, and the material is very special. And the most powerful thing isn't the sword itself, but its scabbard. Look, there's a small lotus pattern on top, press here, and from the tip of the scabbard, a hidden needle will shoot out. That needle is the most precious, it can penetrate the pillars in the imperial palace within 50 steps. Don't try it yourself, I swear you won't even see it. The sword I gave Yang Zhenggang also has this function, with one-third of its speed and power. Yang Zhenggang used to use this a lot, so people would say he was quick on his feet, without any movement, the person on the other side would already be down. Originally, his martial arts were not bad, but later, he got lazy and only used hidden needles, which made me trouble, having to refill them for him all the time. I said, Zhenggang, sometimes just use your sword, it's also very good, especially its sword energy, which is the sharpest at that moment. Alright, let's talk about this guy's story later, you should go now, I see your hearts are no longer here. Remember, a sword must see blood, and hidden needles can only be used once. Also, when thinking, learn to not think of preconditions, don't look at conditions, just think of the result.

  I and Xi Le were stunned on the spot. Because we had guessed countless things about Wu Ling - Yang Zhenggang, but it turned out to be like this. I thanked the old man.

  I and Xile returned home like an arrow. Xiao Bian seems to understand many things too, learned to run slowly. Didn't run out a few steps, the old man shouted behind: wait.

  I and Xi Le adjusted the horse to go. The old man took out a bag and said, use it on the road. Also, if you see that you can't beat someone, run away, remember, if the difference is too great, morale won't play much of a role.

  I thanked Xi Le again and got up to leave.
