Unknowingly, the night passed quietly.
This night is a chaotic night, but also a deserted night.
Speaking of chaos, the seven people were divided into four groups. Fighting was going on in all four directions on the mountaintop. All kinds of ferocious beasts were being hunted and scurrying around. After one night, I don't know how many ferocious beasts and even ordinary beasts were killed on the mountain.
Speaking of being deserted, these battles were far apart from each other, and there was no communication between everyone. So much so that the participants in the battle did not know what was happening to anyone but themselves.
Is there chaos in the war situation, is there anyone taking advantage of troubled waters?
In the early morning of the next day, people were slowly waiting on the hillside where they had agreed to gather.
The first person to arrive at the gathering place were two people. One of them was a petite woman with big eyes. Next to her was a young man wearing colorful clothes like a peacock.
The two of them were in good condition when they arrived, not looking like they were tired after a night of fatigue. They stood side by side by a large rock and scanned the various intersections.
"You said - can everyone come today?"
Xu Siyao looked at no one around and asked first. Although her tone was calm, she was somewhat expectant.
Yu Sichen said "Huh?" and said, "What? Why can't they all come?"
Seeing that he was a little distracted, Xu Si Yao reminded: "I mean, the situation last night was dark and no one could see anyone, so it was the best time to take action... If someone takes action, no matter whether it succeeds or not, then come here." Isn’t it complete?”
Yu Sichen suddenly realized, and then said: "Probably not."
Regardless of Xu Si Yao's disappointment, he took the initiative to explain: "First, we haven't seen the fairy city yet, so Mr. Meng is the most useful. No one will do anything to him. There is no reason to demolish the bridge before crossing the river. Second, Black The widow should never be separated from her helper, and as long as sufficient care is taken, both of them will be safe."
Xu Siyao thought of Tang Zhao's skill, nodded, and said: "Most people can't touch the man named Tang, but what if the Shangguan swordsman takes action? Although they have no enmity, Meng Huazhou can ask him to do it."
Yu Sichen lowered his voice and said, "I don't know if you can tell. That swordsman and Mr. Meng... are not particularly close. I always feel that he will not take action for Mr. Meng."
Xu Si Yao nodded, then shook his head. She had already seen it. The Shangguan swordsman said nothing and stayed away from the team. He did seem to be unfamiliar with Meng Huazhou, but unfamiliarity did not mean that he would not take action, and it might even be possible. It was because of his unfamiliarity that he accepted Meng Huazhou's employment to help him clear obstacles in exchange for the opportunity to board the fairy city.
But she wasn't sure. She could only say that she hoped so. It was hard to express her hope, otherwise it would only cause trouble. "What about Yue Lai?"
Yu Sichen said: "Yue Lai? He will be fine too."
Because Meng Huazhou didn’t contact me.
Yu Sichen said in his heart.
Xu Si Yao was about to ask more questions when he saw a slender shadow walking over, it was Yue Lai.
Sure enough, he was fine, but he looked very tired. The sword in his hand was hanging sideways, trying to drag its tail.
This is also understandable. He is only one person, and he has to be on guard at all times if he cannot rest for a night. Of course, it is impossible for two people to take turns to rest so leisurely.
Yue Lai didn't say hello to Xu Si Yao, but sat directly opposite them, leaning on a big rock and closing his eyes to relax.
It was the first time that Xu Si Yao saw him looking so listless. He must have been awake all night?
He also knows that he is in danger?
After a while, another lonely figure came over, it was Meng Huazhou. He seemed to be in high spirits, as if he didn't fight last night, but had a good sleep.
Now...except for the Shangguan Swordsman, who was so elusive that no one could care about him, only two people were missing.
After waiting for a while, two people came from a distance, a beautiful woman in white and an ordinary-looking boy. They were the last two missing, Black Widow and Tang Zhao. Both of them are also in good health, with no arms or legs missing.
Xu Si Yao sighed silently - everyone was really here. It's a shame that such a good opportunity last night went away to no one.
Meng
Hua Zhou looked kindly and said, "Sister Yin, you are late."
Black Widow was also in good spirits and said: "Ah, it's my problem, I got up late. Yesterday I was tired from the journey, so I found a place to sleep, and it was Xiao Tang who stayed overnight. He was afraid of my hard work, so he didn't If you take the initiative to wake me up, I will go up to three poles in the morning if I fall asleep. Please atone for your sins." After saying this, Yingying bowed.
Meng Huazhou said: "It doesn't matter, it would be best if Senior Sister is lucky enough to rest. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Tang."
Tang Zhao smiled and said, "That's nothing." He pressed his shoulders as if rubbing his shoulders and asked, "Can you talk?"
Meng Huazhou was startled and said, "What did you say?"
At this time, the snow-white fox who had been lying on Tang Zhao's shoulder said, "I can speak, but they can't hear me. Just speak less."
Tang Zhao glanced at the crowd and saw that none of them looked over his shoulder, and no one was surprised that he came back one night and found such a big white fox lying on his shoulder.
And when the white fox spoke in public, no one was surprised why a fox could make a human voice.
So they really can’t see or hear?
It's a bit magical.
But if you think about it, it’s not that amazing.
At least Tang Zhao didn't think it was so magical. He had worn glasses.
In addition to the glasses that made everyone blind, at least he also encountered the "disappearing" sword that had such a function.
However, the world of swords is the most wonderful. Although the effects are similar, the essence of swordsmanship seems to be somewhat different.
Tang Zhao didn't know why the glasses couldn't be seen, but the meaning of the disappearing sword was "ignore".
The disappearance of the fox seems to be related to "deception" and "hiding".
The two have something in common, but the fox's hiding can be solved artificially.
It seems...if someone suspects that there is a fox on Tang Zhao's shoulder and firmly believes so, he can really see the fox.
But without being prompted, no one would have any reason to suspect that there is a fox, just as no one would have any reason to suspect that there is a duck on his head. So its hiding is almost perfect.
Tang Zhao was leaning on his shoulders and could still touch the smooth fox fur. He smiled at Meng Huazhou and said, "Please speak. You summoned us here. Don't you have anything to say?"
Meng Huazhou did not doubt that he was there and said, "We have to wait a moment. Senior Shangguan hasn't come yet."
Tang Zhao followed the trend without explaining anything and sat down beside Black Widow.
As soon as he sat down, Bai Hu couldn't wait to ask: "Who is that guy opposite? He's quite handsome, I like it."
Tang Zhao took a look and felt that she might be mentioning Yue Lai, but others saw that he couldn't just recite Yue Lai's resume out of thin air. He was just thinking about how to hide his words when he heard Bai Hu say: "His temperament is so gloomy. , too murderous, and not pure at heart. Alas, not my type."
ha? Don't like it again?
Is your love so short-lived?
The white fox added: "Your companion is better. Unfortunately, she is also very vicious... But she is really a beauty, and it doesn't matter if the beauty has some flaws."
Tang Zhao was speechless for a while - just looking at his face?
The white fox suddenly sighed: "It would be great if you looked like the person across from you, or at least like him, otherwise I wouldn't be able to like you. It's a pity that your talent and temperament are both very good. But I like beauties." It would be best if a beauty is beautiful both inside and outside. Unfortunately, there are not so many perfections in the world - except for my Highness, there is no such perfection."
Tang Zhao glanced at Yue Lai again. It wasn't that he was narcissistic - compared with his true appearance, Yue Lai really couldn't be called good-looking, could he?
But there was no need for him to prove anything to an unknown fox, who cared whether he liked it or not?
Anyway, I can't talk casually, so just let it go.
Tang Zhao originally thought that Bai Hu would shut up if he didn't respond. But the white fox has probably been unable to communicate with others for hundreds of years. He has a strong desire to express himself and is accustomed to single-machine output. He continued to talk, starting from the appearance of everyone present, and then talking about himself in Xishan City.
He talked about the advantages and disadvantages of the beauties he had met, and then talked about his own journey of search and numerous shortcomings, and then said that he had been trying to fetch water with a bamboo basket for hundreds of years, but in the end it was all in vain.
Tang Zhao has probably smoothed over the white fox's more than a hundred years of experience. In addition to trying to find a way back and erase the memories of those who listened to the song, he is looking for a beauty that suits his eyes.
After all, there are many beauties in this world, and Bai Hu has found many in these more than a hundred years. However, every time it looked expectantly at those beauties from a distance, it soon noticed various flaws in the beauties' appearance and heart, and quickly lost its charm. He fell in love with Chi before his lust faded, and walked away alone and disappointed.
The more beautiful a person is, the more it can ignore his flaws and the longer it persists, but there is always a limit to tolerance and it will eventually turn around and leave.
This cycle has been repeated many times, and the white fox has been able to see at a glance the character hidden under the skin. Some beauties of ordinary level cannot stay in its heart for a moment, just like Yue Lai just now, who was seen through with just one glance.
It couldn't help lamenting that the world of mortals had polluted the beauty's heart, and there was no more pure beauty. Most of all, it couldn't be retained in the human world. It just wanted to go back to the fairy city.
Um……
What can Tang Zhao say? The pursuit of perfection is unrealistic, not to mention that it is such a strong face control, narrowing the screening scope to an extremely narrow range, and it is normal to not find perfect people. Failure to accept flaws will only increase suffering.
If it were an ordinary person, chasing and following beauties everywhere, it would be more or less a "pervert". But he is a swordsman. When he encounters a beautiful woman, he just watches from a distance. No matter how disappointed he is, he just walks away quietly. This is considered self-restraint. Tang Zhao can't accuse him of being too particular about his appearance, hobbies, and personal randomness.
Speaking of which, why doesn't the swordsman come?
When the white fox had already counted down a hundred years of experience, suddenly, there was movement in the distance.
A huge white thing rose from the nearby mountain nest, flew over the top of the mountain, and flew little by little toward Qingming.
The white color looked like a big ship setting sail, or like a big whale rising from the sea, but most like a large white cloud that had fallen to the ground and was about to return to the sky.
None of the people present reacted. They just looked up at the white clouds. Only Meng Huazhou jumped up and turned pale with shock:
"No, he...how did he find it?"
