Zhang Chuxin asked. "Li Yi, I'm actually very curious about your relationship with Uncle Xi. He seems to be very nice to you."
"He is also Mr. Su's student, so speaking of it, he is my senior brother, but I am seventeen and he is thirty-eight, so I always call him Uncle Xi."
"So it turns out that Uncle Xi is also a disciple of that gentleman from Yangcheng. No wonder."
In his opinion, Mr. Su from Yangcheng was not an ordinary person.
After all, He Moqian, who claimed to be a useless scholar, was also his disciple.
Others didn't know how powerful that senior was, but he had heard it from his master.
They looked at the second floor and saw it was a little crowded, so they went out for a walk.
The two of them walked down the river and saw the old man from yesterday again in the south.
I just don’t know why he changed the location of the stall.
Zhang Chuxin handed Lao Tao a bottle of wine and said. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect to see senior again."
The old Taoist took his drink with a straight face. "I guess you have some filial piety."
Zhang Chuxin said, too lazy to talk nonsense with him. "Senior, I have a question. Are you from the Daoxian Sect?"
The old Taoist smiled and said. "The poor Taoist and incompetent person belongs to the Taoist Immortal Sect."
Daoxian Sect is also a major sect in Western Chu. It is as famous as Zixuanmen in Jiugong Mountain of Langya Pavilion and Tianhou in Beixuan Mountain.
It’s just that Tianbei Xuanshan was deserted overnight five or six years ago and no longer exists.
"Is the Daoxian Sect very poor?"
The old Taoist rolled his eyes when he heard Zhang Chuxin's words. "You don't know that there are too many rules in the sect, so I just went down the mountain."
"It seems that senior is not bound by the sect's rules."
The old man chuckled. "Maybe he's used to being lazy."
Li Yi quickly interrupted to prevent the two people from talking nonsense. said. "I saw my senior drawing talismans yesterday, so I guess his cultivation level is very high."
The old man chuckled. "Young man, Pindao likes you to tell the truth. It's true that Pindao can't be said to be invincible in Western Chu, but he can be considered capable."
"Senior, can you show me something?" Li Yi said.
"That's not possible. Taoist immortal magic has never been spread to outsiders, especially the Taoist Immortal Sect. Of course, it's not impossible. If this guy can master Sui Feng Tiao Xue, Pindao can consider it."
"Forget it, it's boring. We don't have to watch the seniors perform." Zhang Chuxin said, and walked down the river with their pillows behind their heads.
Li Yi smiled bitterly and bowed his hand to Lao Dao. "Senior, I'm sorry."
Then he hurriedly followed Zhang Chuxin's pace.
It was already afternoon when Li Yi and Zhang Chuxin came back. At this time, there were far fewer people on the second floor.
After the two entered the bookstore, they went directly to the second floor. After searching on the second floor to no avail, they went to the third floor.
But in the end, the two of them searched for an entire afternoon, but couldn't find a way to make Zhang Chuxin realize how to walk on the snow with the wind.
Li Yi handed Zhang Chuxin a cup of tea and said. "There is still a direction I haven't looked for. Let's have some tea and rest first, and then we can take a closer look. However, don't hold out too much hope."
Zhang Chuxin took the tea cup, sat on the stool in front of the window and said. "Forget it, it's the secret technique of Daoxian Sect anyway. I'm not a disciple of Daoxian Sect, why do I have to learn this."
"The book is interesting, but I don't know who this Ruwu Sword Immortal is?"
At this time, a sound suddenly came from downstairs.
Li Yi and Zhang Chuxin put down their teacups and listened.
someone replied. "Ruwu Sword Immortal! The author's name is too strange. However, he wrote what happened two years ago into the book, regardless of whether his wife is married or not. It's really hateful!"
"The book is quite good, but it's not very true. There are many exaggerations in the book. Besides, Zhihe doesn't like Xu Jinxin. The book describes how Zhihe is very affectionate towards Xu Jinxin, which is really too true. A little crooked.”
"Hahahaha, is Brother Yang jealous?"
"Zhihe is already married to me, and I know her thoughts best. Letting Xu Jinxin leave in the first place was just to make him retreat in the face of difficulties! I just think it is really hateful to distort the facts in such a way to taint someone's innocence."
"I can't find the Ruwu Sword Immortal anyway. Now I can only ask the bookstore to destroy these books."
"Well! Now, that's all we can do."
"Speaking of which, the book says that Xu Jinxin is extremely good-looking. Brother Yang has seen him, what do you think?"
"She is quite good-looking. I have to admit that she looks more upright than me, but that's all."
"But the book says that he seems to have become a swordsman and became famous all over the world. He seems to be a wizard."
"How can everyone be able to become famous all over the world? We can't even do it, let alone a person who has only been practicing for two years."
"That's right. With your current strength, you are more than enough to become a half-step swordsman. You can't even say that you are famous all over the world. How can he do it! He didn't have any cultivation at the beginning. Even if he has some now, he won't be the same when he comes back. I can’t beat you either.”
"I don't care whether I can beat him or not, but this message has spread too widely. It is being told from north to south. There are several versions, and it really has a bad impact."
"This unscrupulous author is really serious, why does he have to earn such evil money?"
"It's a pity that neither you nor I know this person, and there is really no way to find him. When I come to the bookstore, the boss doesn't know the origin of the author, let alone you and me."
Another sighed. "Not talking about this, but considering the current situation, did you track down any news about that person when you went south this time?"
"Just in town."
"In the city?"
"Zhihe and I have already locked the target. It's just that there are many people in the city and it's hard to take action. But wait until the person leaves the city."
At this point, he said no more.
Li Yi and Zhang Chuxin went downstairs and saw the two people sitting on the desk in front of the window on the second floor. They both looked like handsome young men.
But if compared with Xu Jinxin, whom he had met once at the Taiping Ruins, he was actually far behind.
They walked out of the bookshop, Zhang Chuxin said. "They're not here to hunt you down, are they?"
This is not nonsense, after all, there are many people who have been chasing him.
"I don't know! Let's take a step and see! If it is true, it will be troublesome again."
He said, tightening the charm in his hand. Could the so-called indestructible diamond really save his life?
To the north of Quling City.
Xu Jinxin sat on horseback and looked south on the hills north of Quling City. The ancient city named Quling came into view.
The towering city walls all reveal the prosperity of this ancient city. It's no wonder that Li Yi felt infinite sadness in his heart. After all, the differences between north and south are too big.
He murmured. "We're finally here, Zhihe, it's time for us to meet! After two years, I have returned as a swordsman."
He pulled the reins, and the horse neighed and rushed towards Quling City. Wherever he passed, a piece of yellow sand spread, falling under the afterglow of the setting sun.
The people who should be seen will always meet, the things that should be done should be done, and this destiny should also turn the gears.
However, not far from here, a hundred kilometers away, a young girl came galloping on horseback.
The horse under its crotch seemed to be breathing flames, and it must be considered a good horse for thousands of miles, otherwise I would be afraid that it would fall down and die.
Li Yi took some vegetable leaves from the kitchen and threw them into Uncle Xi's rabbit pen.
Zhang Chuxin walked over from the side.
He turned to look at Zhang Chuxin and asked. "How's the probing going?"
Zhang Chuxin looked around and said. "You come with me."
Zhang Chuxin took him to his room, closed the door, and said. "You can rest assured that this person named Yang is not here for you."
Li Yi nodded and said. "That's best."
"However, the person they are pursuing this time is said to have been personally appointed by the prince of the East Palace. As for why they want to kill him, they have not found out yet."
"Have these people made inquiries?"
"Well! The man who was ordered to come here is called Yang Wenyu. His father is a favorite of the imperial court. He is also an official in the government, and is the Beixuansi who specializes in hunting down murderers. There is also a woman named Wang Zhihe traveling south with him. , is his wife, who also joined Beixuansi."
Li Yi nodded. "I heard about this woman that day."
He thought to himself that he didn't know if Xu Jinxin knew about what happened between the two people. Will it be sad?
Zhang Chuxin continued. "They live in the Shao family's mansion in the north. The Shao family has a young master named Shao Lin. The two are good friends. Oh! By the way, he is the one we saw yesterday."
Li Yi nodded and said. "Since you're not here for me, then don't pay attention. As for us, we just have to hide our whereabouts. I'm afraid it won't be easy going south this time. I'm really worried. You should be careful when you go out."
"Um!"
After the two of them finished eating with Zhao Xi in the living room, Zhang Chuxin hurried out, saying he was going to see a friend.
Li Yi had nothing to do, so he took out the thorn bone placed in the house and started practicing in the yard.
His progress in stick skills is not slow. At least, regardless of the internal strength in his body that seems to be given by the Taiping Sword Immortal, he has almost reached the level of the intermediate level.
At this moment, Zhang Chuxin should be in the middle stage of Houjing.
As soon as he dropped the stick, Zhao Xi clapped his hands and walked over from the side.
He turned around and saw Zhao Xi dressed in black and holding a package in his hand. he said. "Uncle Xi, why are you here?"
Zhao Xi smiled and said. "I remember you used a sword last time. Why did you change the weapon when you came back this time?"
"When I was at the Taiping Ruins, I was told by a senior that because of my qualifications, I was not suitable for practicing swordsmanship. If I switched to a stick, I might gain a lot. Later, when I changed to Nanshi, I realized that the senior was not lying. "
"That's fine, otherwise you only have the killing skills to show off. But in the eyes of a master, these are just trivial tricks and won't have much effect at all."
Li Yi nodded and walked along the corridor with Zhao Xi. When the two of them were sitting under the pavilion, Zhao Xi handed over the package he was holding and said. "I'm afraid there will be a lot of danger going south. I went to get you some things yesterday."
Li Yi opened the package and took a look. It was full of elixirs and some bottled medicine.
"Uncle Xi, actually."
"Take it! I'm afraid your trip south this time will be extremely dangerous. If sir knew that you didn't bring anything with you on this trip, I'm afraid he would be very angry."
Li Yi nodded and accepted the package.
In the evening, Zhang Chuxin went to bed early, saying that he was too tired after spending a day looking for books in the city and accompanying his friend to many places.
Li Yi climbed over the wall and went out quietly. He wanted to go to the Shao family in the north to visit. But on the street, he saw a person, and since then, he gave up the idea.
The man turned around and saw him.
"Li Yi." The man spoke hoarsely. It seems a little jerky.
The man stood in the darkness, leading a horse.
Li Yi also responded. "Xu Jinxin!"
Xu Jinxin smiled and said. "I didn't expect you to come to the south."
Li Yi nodded and said. "That day you left without saying goodbye. I thought I would never see you again! I didn't expect it."
"If we are destined, we will meet again." Xu Jinxin led the horse over.
"They often say this to me, but I just want to listen to it. Most of the people I've met will never see me again."
Xu Jinxin didn't care whether he understood it deeply enough, but looked at the thorn in his hand and asked. "This weapon in your hand?"
"Oh! I just found this at the Sword Forging Villa. It's called Biting Bones."
"Bitter-piercing! I've heard people mention it before, but I've never seen it. Now that I've seen it, it does look like a magical weapon."
"It was made by Wang Yangzi hundreds of years ago and has been passed down to this day. It can be regarded as a divine weapon! It is said to be so. I actually don't know whether it is a divine weapon or not."
Xu Jinxin looked at him, feeling a little relieved. "Your cultivation has increased a lot. It seems that you have put a lot of thought into it after I left."
Li Yi smiled, changed the subject, and said. "By the way, why did you come to the south?"
"Find someone."
Li Yi suddenly became alert and asked cautiously. "Is she a woman?"
Xu Jinxin didn't reply to him, but nodded.
Li Yi scratched his head and suddenly became anxious. He actually wanted to tell the truth about what he and Zhang Chuxin heard in the bookstore that day, so that he would give up earlier and look away. But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to speak.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, I'm just thinking. If, I mean if, the girl you like has your heart, what should you do?"
"Just do whatever you want. Besides, I believe her. Two years ago, she said that when I come back from my studies and become famous all over the world, she will live in seclusion in the mountains with me."
What if not! Then she can say with peace of mind that you didn't do it and we are not suitable.
From another perspective, I have made you famous all over the world, so why would I live in seclusion in the mountains with you?
It's a pity that you don't understand her, and she misjudges your talent.
"So Brother Xu, you traveled all over the world just because of that girl's words? It sounds incredible,"
If this is true, it is indeed incredible.
Xu Jinxin smiled bitterly. "Should there be any other reason?"
Li Yi nodded, indeed! Do you need a reason to like someone?
But he was really stupid. The person who made him drink poisoned wine and run away without risking his life actually never liked him from the beginning to the end.
What a sad story this would be if told!
But what if I know the truth? Can I still tell it in front of him?
But I don’t know how to enlighten people, and I don’t know what to say! Will he listen?
Xu Jinxin asked as the two walked forward. "Why do you come out so late at night? Remember Wang Daoping told me last time that there are many people chasing you, but you are not afraid?"
"Just come out and get some air. It's stuffy in the room. You know, I can't stay in one place for long."
"When did you become so fond of telling jokes? I remember that you were not like this at the beginning. But if you don't want to say it, forget it."
