The sunset over the western mountains is picturesque.
A team walked out of the mountain in an extremely embarrassed state, but almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, including Li Xiuping.
If he didn't encounter any more monsters and left Dayu Mountain safely, he wouldn't need to take action anymore, so he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered by the guys from Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower.
After leaving Dayu Mountain, the team continued to move forward for a certain distance. After confirming that they would not encounter monsters again, everyone began to stop and repair.
Going east, there is no place to rest, and it is already dark now, so it is inconvenient and unsafe to continue on the road. What's more, the group of people responsible for escorting are basically injured. If they don't take care of it, they may be injured. There's no way I can make it through tomorrow morning.
The woman was not stingy and took out a lot of healing elixirs and distributed them to the injured to ensure that their lives were safe.
This woman's move made Li Xiuping somewhat impressed.
Generally speaking, monks on the mountain look down on the laity at the foot of the mountain. In their eyes, the lives of the laity at the foot of the mountain are as insignificant as ants and mustard. They will not waste magical elixirs to save their lives.
Although those elixirs are not valuable, they are only for the cultivation world. If they are placed in the secular world, they are priceless and have no market. Some people have lost all their money and still want to buy them because they can save lives. s things.
So human life is sometimes very valuable, sometimes it is worthless. In the eyes of different people, the meaning is different.
Since this woman was able to come up with magical medicine to treat their injuries, it at least meant that she did not treat their lives like ants.
After the man with bare arms took the elixir, he thanked: "Thank you, senior. If it weren't for the senior here, we might have had to live. Now that senior has given me the elixir, I really don't know how to thank you." .”
The woman surnamed Yang waved her hand and said: "It's a small effort, don't take it to heart, and if it weren't for the two red earth tigers that you had restrained the spirit position before, I wouldn't have been able to kill the other one and scare the other two away. In that case, it would be me." , it’s not easy to deal with three red ground tigers.”
The man saluted again, but it was hard to say anything more.
The woman turned around and walked back to the girl, smiling and asking, "You're not scared, are you?"
The girl quickly said: "No, I will become a sword fairy in the future."
The woman smiled and said: "How can it be so easy to be a swordsman? There are only swordsmen in the entire cultivation world."
The girl asked: "The one in the sword washing pool?"
The woman nodded.
The girl immediately became interested and asked, "I heard that the senior sword master taught Li Xiuping everything he had learned throughout his life. Is it true?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I didn't know that. For a big shot of that level, the fact that we can hear some rumors is already the limit."
When she said this, her expression moved slightly, and she continued: "Li Xiuping, he is really an amazing person. Under the age of twenty, not only can he become Mr. Ou Ye's disciple and learn the sword-making skills that everyone dreams of, but he can also He can make an immortal who has not been seen for thousands of years appear, he is also the young master uncle of the Holy Land Guanchao Academy, and he can also receive all the teachings from the senior sword master."
The girl nodded and said: "It's quite remarkable. If I have the chance, I really want to see what kind of person he is."
The woman smiled and said: "Don't tell me it's you, I want to see it."
She continued: "But your talent is not bad. After arriving at the sect, if you work hard to practice, you will not have no chance at all."
Of course, these were just words of encouragement. She actually knew very well how a small sect like theirs, with their level of cultivation, could come into contact with someone like Li Xiuping.
Naturally, the girl could not understand the deep meaning of this, so she nodded her head, her eyes full of expectation.
In her opinion, as long as she embarks on the path of cultivation, she will definitely make rapid progress and become a big shot that everyone respects. Then she will wield swords in the world and even think about how she will meet Li Xiuping in the future.
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, regardless of gender, who doesn’t have some ambition? Who is not full of hope for the future...
The girl then asked: "I heard that Li Xiuping only has the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment. Is it true?"
Without waiting for the woman to answer, she continued: "Isn't that the same realm as Elder Yang? Then how could he kill a strong man in the Nascent Soul stage?"
Listening to the many questions thrown by the girl, the woman couldn't help but feel helpless, and said bitterly: "I'm afraid his realm is different from ours, otherwise it wouldn't have caused such a big sensation, and even the entire cultivation world. Paying attention to him, besides, he only knows about four or five immortal treasures on his body. With such a big deal, apart from him, there is probably no other person in the world. You know, even if it is just one immortal treasure, Even those with the strength of the Nine Sects can win a bloody battle, and even those holy lands with four or five immortal treasures will have their hearts set on them."
The girl clicked her tongue and said, "It's so rich."
The woman smiled and said: "This is not something you can have if you have money. Among the nine sects, which one has no money, they only have one or two fairy treasures, and many don't even have one."
The girl nodded and said: "I see, no wonder that Li Xiuping was hunted down by so many strong men. He is not guilty of the crime, but he is guilty of possessing the jade. It seems that Li Xiuping is not a smart man. He carries so many immortal treasures, no He knows how to restrain himself but still shows off everywhere, isn’t it clear that he is going to be robbed?”
The woman nodded and said: "The key is that not many people dare to grab it, because behind him are not only the Sword Washing Pool, the Tide Watching Academy, but even the senior Jiuxian, who is impatient to live, go and grab it with him .”
She continued: "As for what Li Xiuping is thinking, I'm afraid only he knows. It's not something that people like us can speculate on."
The girl nodded and said, "That's true."
The woman continued: "Okay, let's rest early. We still have a long way to go tomorrow."
The girl nodded in agreement, still full of longing for the future.
Li Xiuping was leaning under a tree alone, listening to the conversation between the two, and found it quite interesting.
He really didn't expect that his reputation would be so famous now, that even such a small sect would know so much.
After Li Xiuping glanced at the injured men, he closed his eyes and planned to have a good sleep.
I ran all the way before without using any strength, relying entirely on my own body. Although it was not very tiring, it was certainly not easy.
There was no talking all night until dawn.
Early in the morning, when the sky was slightly bright, everyone had packed up everything and continued on their way.
The men responsible for escorting also made adjustments. Some of the more seriously injured ones walked directly behind, while those with less serious injuries continued to escort the team. After all, according to the previous agreement, they were to be sent to the east safely. We have only walked a third of the way to Golden Summit City.
It must be to take care of those men, so the team's speed is not very fast. They stop and go along the way. At this speed, it will take four or five days to reach the Golden Summit City.
As we get closer to Jinding City, we will gradually meet some pedestrians on the road, which naturally makes people feel at ease.
At this moment, it happened to be noon, and everyone stopped to rest again.
The girl must have been bored, so she happened to see Li Xiuping again and asked, "Hey, what are you doing in Golden Summit City?"
Along the way, the girl didn't actually speak to Li Xiuping, so Li Xiuping pointed at himself and asked, "You ask me?"
The girl glared and said, "Who else are you?"
Li Xiuping didn't answer immediately. The girl asked suddenly because she was truly curious.
Li Xiuping's clothes were very simple. The whole body could be put together for less than a few copper coins. In addition, there was a hatchet hanging on his waist and a wine flask. Although the wine flask was mysterious and magical, its appearance was actually quite beautiful. There's nothing special about it, it's not even as good as an ordinary hip flask.
From this point of view, Li Xiuping looks like a child chopping firewood in the mountains, the kind of person who has one meal but no next meal.
But such a person could spend so much money to hire someone to escort him. The key was that the food that guy brought was even more exquisite than what they prepared. It was hard not to be curious.
After the girl asked this question, the woman also looked at Li Xiuping.
Although Li Xiuping hid his aura, most people couldn't tell it at all, but he must be a cultivator. The aura may be hidden, but some things cannot be hidden. With such close contact and being together for so long, that woman has so many You can also notice some strangeness to some extent.
It's just that her cultivation level is too low, so she just thinks that she may be overthinking it, and she doesn't think about it deeply.
Of course, let alone her, even a Golden Core cultivator in her situation would not be able to detect what was going on with Li Xiuping, and would still only think that Li Xiuping was just an ordinary person. But if it were a Nascent Soul cultivator, The above strong men are different.
Naturally, it was impossible for Li Xiping to get along like this with a strong person in the Nascent Soul Stage. If he met a strong person in the Transformation Stage, he would stay far away.
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "There was a famine at home, so I came to seek refuge with distant relatives. However, Mr. Su had just taken office, and the situation in White Crane City was a bit complicated, so he asked me to go to Jinding City to find a job first."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.
This young man is indeed a wild man, but he is more or less related to the new Mr. Su in Baihe City. He could no longer stay at home, so he came here to join him, but Mr. Su probably didn't want to leave such a helpless person behind. He knew how far away his distant relative was, so he found a reason to send him away.
In this way, it can be explained that this young man can afford to hire someone to escort him and eat such good food. It is obviously given by Mr. Su.
Mr. Su would naturally not feel bad for spending some money to get rid of such a troublesome person. He just felt pity for this guy, who didn't even know he was being disliked and was still proud of him.
This is of course what Li Xiuping hopes these people will think. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Just find any excuse to get over it. After all, they will be separated after arriving at Golden Summit City. No one will care whether it is true or not.
In the final analysis, Li Xiuping is just an insignificant person in the eyes of these people. No one will dig deeper for such a small person.
She probably felt that Li Xiuping was pitiful, and the girl's attitude towards Li Xiuping actually improved a lot, but that was all.
At this time, the man eating the arm walked towards Li Xiuping and asked with a smile: "Is that wine on my little brother?"
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head and said, "No, it's water."
The man seemed to have expected this answer, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He smiled and said: "I thought it was wine, and I wanted to ask my little brother for a sip to satisfy my craving. All the things I brought before were used for disinfection. Suddenly I don’t have any wine to drink and I feel uncomfortable all over.”
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "I don't drink."
The man sat down next to Li Xiuping and said with a smile: "It's better not to drink. Not only does it cost money, but after you become addicted, you won't even miss a meal."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "When I was at home, my family didn't allow me to drink. Now that I'm out, I don't have money to drink. Otherwise, I can help my eldest brother satisfy his craving."
Of course the wine in his jug is not that he is reluctant to part with it, but the wine in it. Not to mention this ordinary man, even a foundation-building monk may not be able to bear it. If he really drinks it, he will inevitably have to drink it. Something happened.
This matter is very troublesome to explain, so it is better to say it is water.
Although these people had no wine, they still had plenty of water, so there was no need to ask for it from him.
The man then asked: "I heard from the little brother earlier that the little brother is related to Mr. Su?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "Actually, he is not a relative. He is just an old friend of an elder in the family, so he asked me to come and join him."
The man nodded and said, "I don't know what Mr. Su is like, but his gentleman is indeed a good man. These people have done a lot of practical things for Baihe City, so Mr. Su should be good too."
Li Xiuping asked: "Brother, do you recognize Mr. Su's husband?"
The man smiled and said: "There are few people in White Crane City who don't recognize him. Although he is just a scholar with no power, he is indeed very powerful. Not only can he stabilize all the forces in White Crane City, but he also led White Crane City to block the monster. You can be said to be the benefactor of the entire Baihe City."
Li Xiuping nodded and asked casually: "Then how did he die?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and then he looked a little sad, and said: "When I resisted the monster attack, I got the root of the disease. Now that I am getting older, my body is not as good as before, so naturally..."
He continued: "Forget it, let's not talk about this."
He looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "Does my little brother have a place to go over there in Jinding City?"
Li Xiuping was about to shake his head, but looking at the man's eyes, he nodded instead.
Seeing Li Xiuping nod, the man said with some regret: "It's a pity. I originally wanted my little brother to join us. I saw that my little brother's footwork and physical strength are indeed good materials for martial arts training. If someone can teach him, given time, he will be able to Become a martial arts master, and although our profession is dangerous, the pay is indeed not low. You can save a lot in one go, and you will definitely have no problem marrying a wife in the future."
Li Xiuping smiled slightly.
The man smiled and said: "Actually, the previous situation rarely happened. It's just that this time I had bad luck."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. Let's check it out after we get to Jinding City. If necessary, I will go to Brother Zhao."
Hearing this, the man smiled and said: "Then it's settled. If my little brother really thinks about it by then, I will definitely teach him everything I have and won't keep anything to myself."
Li Xiuping felt helpless in his heart. Why did everyone want to take him under his wing when they saw him?
Mr. Ouye won't say anything. He was raised by him, and neither did Guanchao Academy. After all, it was because of the inheritance of Confucianism that he had acting teachers and apprentices, and that's why he had his junior uncle in the academy. identity, and then there is the senior Sword Master, saying that it is so that he can legitimately represent the Sword Sword Pool in the battle, but in fact it is not the case. After all, after the Seven Holy Lands Conference, the senior Sword Master will also learn what he has learned all his life. He poured all his money into teaching, as if he had regarded Li Xiuping as his successor.
Now it's good, every martial arts expert you meet wants to take you as your disciple...
"Coward, a few monsters scared you like this."
The girl didn't know when she came to the two of them, looking at Li Xiuping with contempt.
Li Xiuping looked up at her but said nothing.
The girl continued: "He is doing this for your own good. Otherwise, if you have nothing to do when you arrive at Golden Summit City, you will starve to death sooner or later. If you follow him, you can not only make money, but also practice martial arts. Kill two birds with one stone. It's great." matter."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "I will consider it."
As he said that, he really fell into thinking.
The man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, little brother. This thing is about fate and cannot be forced."
The girl curled her lips and said: "He is just afraid of losing his life in the same situation as before. He is a coward. He is afraid that he will have no future in this life. No wonder that Mr. Su will..."
She didn't continue, as if she was worried about hurting Li Xiuping's heart or that this guy wouldn't be able to accept the facts.
The girl felt that this guy was actually very lucky. Although he was regarded as a problem by Mr. Su, he was lucky enough to be spotted by a martial arts master who was willing to accept him as his disciple. However, this guy didn't know how to cherish it and didn't know what he was missing. .
But just as this man said, everything depends on fate. The opportunity is in front of him. If he can't seize it himself, it's hard for others to say anything.
The man stood up and said, "Okay, it's time for us to set off. We should be able to enter Golden Summit City before dark."
With that said, he looked at Li Xiuping and said again: "Little brother, you can think about it carefully. I will stay in Golden Summit City for a while, but it won't be too long."
Li Xiuping nodded in agreement, and the man left with a smile, and then ordered his masters to continue on their way.
The girl looked at Li Xiuping with an expression of hatred, but she didn't say anything more and turned around and walked back.
Li Xiuping also stood up and prepared to go on the road, his brows suddenly frowned slightly.
Several auras suddenly appeared in front of them. Although they were not very powerful beings, they were almost all golden elixir stage monks.
These golden elixir stage monks seemed to be coming for them.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but look at the woman named Yang and the girl.
Naturally, it was impossible for the visitor to be directed at him. After all, not even the guys from Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower could detect his presence, let alone the few Golden Core monks.
That could only be for the woman surnamed Yang, who might be the enemy of her sect...
