Xu Huaigu did not stay at the top of the mountain for too long.
He saw Feng'er sitting on the edge of the cliff since dawn and had no intention of leaving until noon, and he felt a little impatient.
And he himself was tired of looking at the scenery and really couldn't stay any longer, so he left the cliff and went to the stream where he rested before to continue practicing.
But just one morning's contact with Feng'er made him have a deep affection for this girl.
Although he was puzzled by the strange words "Because my name is Feng'er, this mountain is called Fengtou Mountain", the girl's subsequent words were really just innocent words spoken by a little girl, and he took them as nothing more than the innocent words of a little girl. It was a dispensable joke, but I didn’t go into it deeply.
He decided to bring the money to Fengtou Mountain the next day to help the girl tide over the difficulties.
Of course, I also want to get the two swords back as soon as possible. After all, I haven't touched the handles of the swords for a few days, and my hands are not used to it.
Xu Huaigu squatted down, grabbed a handful of water by the stream, washed his face, and took another sip, feeling a hint of sweetness on his tongue.
He made a decision in his mind, took a deep breath, chose a shade of a tree, sat down cross-legged, and began to recite the golden shuttle talisman silently, preparing to spend the day practicing.
…
The top of the cliff.
The girl Feng'er had already walked down the edge of the cliff and was leaning on a large tree trunk with strange and ferocious branches like a horned dragon.
She took a bunch of purple-red long-tasseled wild flowers and green vines and wove a small ring. Judging from the size of the small ring, it should be worn on the wrist, but the girl's two wrists clearly have their own belongings.
There were bright red and dark green strings tied around each of her wrists. The string is extremely gorgeous and colorful, and you can vaguely see the star-like brilliance flowing continuously, just like a real living thing.
She was very serious about editing, so she got tired after a while. She sat down on a patch of moss under the tree and gently touched the ribbon on her wrist, her eyes gentle and extremely doting.
At this moment, an old man quietly walked out of the depths of the woods.
Feng'er seemed to be frightened by his sudden appearance, her movements froze, and the two thin ropes between her wrists disappeared in an instant.
But after she saw the old man's face clearly, she seemed to relax again, laughed to herself, and picked up a small wreath to weave again.
The old man who suddenly appeared was wearing a set of python red robes and a Confucian shirt, with a Confucian scarf on his head, wooden feet on his feet, and a steady and powerful pace.
His eyes are deep and lively, his face is angular, and he has a pair of triangular eyebrows. He has the unsmiling air of a scholar and looks very majestic.
The girl seemed to be in a good mood.
She asked: "You actually came to East Fuyao Island. It seems that the situation is really bad recently."
The old man nodded and said, "Isn't that right? You must already know about that person's escape. Now everyone in the world is in danger and confused."
The girl kept working on her hands and asked: "Then you must be very busy. Why do you have time to come to my place today?"
The old man's face became solemn, his tone was a little helpless, and he said: "It's still the old almanac from before. I want to trouble you when the time comes..."
The old man stopped here. What he wanted to say seemed to be a very difficult request, and he was a little embarrassed.
The girl remained calm and calm, as if she had guessed her intention.
She replied: "I will not do anything to bring about self-destruction. I originally thought that the human race would be kinder than my demon race, but in fact it is just that, far worse than I originally thought. The intrigues and intrigues are only a little better than my race. And no fault.”
The old man said helplessly: "Yes, one generation is worse than the next. The world is in turmoil, and hope is getting slimmer. That's why I came here from the middle of nowhere to see if I can let my old master The bones give their last strength. Now that I am getting older and my bones are getting weaker, only this face is still worth something, so I am begging you."
The girl shook her head and said, "If I were to ask you for something that cost your life, would you do it?"
The old man looked resolute and said: "Then it depends on whether this matter is worth my death. In fact, when I came to East Fuyao Island this time, I had no intention of getting out alive again. Others in China want to leave this island behind. Continent, to create a big picture with just one continent. But I can’t stand it. Tens of millions of people’s lives are at stake, and I will never agree.”
The girl raised her eyebrows and sighed: "You are still exactly the same as you were decades ago. With this temperament, you are destined to suffer big losses."
The old man laughed at himself: "What kind of disadvantage can I suffer? I am planning to throw my life away here, who can do anything to me?"
The girl felt a little depressed and said, "It seems that there is one less kind-hearted person in the world."
The old man laughed loudly and spoke generously: "It doesn't matter if I'm missing! As long as my human race is still there, there will only be more people with kinder hearts than mine. I guess I won't be able to meet you, but I know , they will definitely appear.”
Feng'er also smiled and said: "I hope so. But let's forget about the matter that will cost me my life. I won't agree to it."
The old man did not persuade again, but said: "It doesn't matter, I respect your decision. There is nothing wrong with it. All lives are equal, and no one has the right to let others die. In fact, I already knew that my journey was in vain, but I still want to come and see you.”
The girl had just finished knitting the bracelet, so she threw it over and said casually: "What do I have that you deserve to see? But since you have worked so hard, I will give you this bracelet. And , try not to die when the time comes.”
After hearing this, the old man laughed heartily and was very happy, as if he had exhaled all the dirty breath he had held for decades.
He immediately put on the bracelet, as if he was afraid that the girl would take it back if she regretted it, and said with a smile: "I will try my best, then we will see you next time."
After saying that, his figure loomed on the spot, and finally disappeared.
The girl lowered her head and stared blankly at the ground, remembering the old events from many, many years ago. She shook her head and sighed: "I'm still a little annoyed about the old sesame seeds and rotten millet..."
…
That night, Xu Huaigu was concentrating on practicing, but he was suddenly startled for no reason. He intuitively felt that something bad was about to happen, so he quickly stopped practicing and paid careful attention to the movements around him.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the chaotic footsteps of many people appeared, accompanied by whispered conversations, heading towards the stream.
Xu Huaigu was confused. It was probably not a good thing for these people to come to the woods at night. With a flash of inspiration, he climbed up a pine tree as big as a bowl and stood on a tall branch, waiting quietly for the arrival of the group of people.
Soon, a strong man carrying two large Xuanhua axes took the lead and walked to the open space by the stream.
The strong man has a fleshy face, a tall body, and a big beard that grows messily on his lower lip. The bright moonlight shone down, making his face even more sinister and ferocious.
Immediately following the steps of this strong man, more than thirty people walked out of the forest one after another. They were all tall young men, looking full of murderous intent.
Xu Huaigu couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.
This force is really not small. A team of more than 40 young people can walk sideways in the mountain as long as they do not provoke the officers, soldiers and monks.
The strong man walked to the stream and buried his head in the water. After waking up for a while, he took off the two Xuanhua axes and washed them in the washing water, taking great care of them.
An old man with a long beard and a sinister look walked out of the crowd. He was Hu Ye who went to Fengtou Mountain to collect debts that day, so the identity of this group of people was self-evident.
Hu Ye said flatteringly: "The head of the house actually wants to take action personally. I really look down on those ignorant fools. In fact, as long as the head of the house gives orders, I will immediately lead my brothers to Fengtou Mountain and kill everyone. That little girl was brought back by the master, why should the master bother?"
Fan Jiang had long been accustomed to his flattery and ignored him at all.
Another young man walked out of the crowd. He seemed to have a quite high status. He said jokingly to Fan Jiang: "The boss, after catching that girl, the boss will definitely have a first night. But I thought, wait until the boss gets tired of playing If you have that girl, can you give it to the brothers? After all, I, Liu, have never seen such a charming woman in my life."
Fan Jiang was a little unhappy and said in a bad tone: "I'll wait until that woman lives until I get tired of playing with her."
The man surnamed Liu laughed loudly and said, "That's right, no one likes a girl like the first lady can survive more than a week from the first night. But if I really survive to that day, can the boss give me a night?"
Fan Jiang frowned angrily, obviously dissatisfied that he already had evil thoughts about this girl that he hadn't even gotten hold of yet.
Seeing that Fan Jiang was about to get angry, Hu Ye, who knew his temper best, quickly came out to smooth things over and scolded the man surnamed Liu, which finally calmed Fan Jiang's anger.
The man surnamed Liu was so frightened by Fan Jiang's anger that he didn't dare to take another look over there. He just lowered his head and was scolded. After all, there were past events to refer to, and anyone who went against Fan Jiang's ideas was killed.
Xu Huaigu was frightened when he heard it. When he figured out the purpose of this group of people, he was so shocked that he didn't dare to breathe.
They were preparing to attack Fengtou Mountain tonight. Xu Huaigu was still worried about Feng'er's safety, and was anxious to death on the tree.
He thought that after the group of people left, he would rush to Fengtou Mountain to report the news. It would still be too late. As a result, the people below did not seem to be in a hurry to attack Fengtou Mountain. They had been resting and organizing, and after half an hour they had no intention of setting off.
Xu Huaigu was impatient in the tree, and finally saw Fan Jiang standing up, and said to the team behind him: "Let's go, rest enough, the brothers have brought all the Fengshou Mountain in one pot. By then, the gold, silver, treasures and women It’s up to everyone to choose, okay?”
The people below cheered.
So Fan Jiang was ready to leave.
Seeing that he was finally leaving, Xu Huaigu sighed and prepared to report the news.
This inaudible sigh among the crowd was actually heard by Fan Jiang, a second-level monk!
He immediately turned his face, with an angry look on his face, and shouted at the branch where Xu Huaigu was standing: "Who is there?"
