The next morning, Xu Huaigu opened his eyes from practice and felt the surging spiritual energy in his body, which felt very comfortable.
After all, Xianyun Inn is an immortal inn. It has a special formation to gather the surrounding spiritual energy. Practicing in it will get twice the result with half the effort, but the price is really not low. Xu Huaigu took advantage of the room money and took advantage of the time to practice for one night.
After Bai Xiaoyu was taken away last night, Huang Shan was so frightened by Heitong's cultivation that he didn't dare to stay in the room any longer and hurried back to his room. You must know how rare a ninth-level monk is. There are only a few people in the East Fuyao Continent, and each one of them is a very important person in the top sects. Even if they wanted to destroy a Xingqing city, it wouldn't take much effort.
Yu Qin and Ping Cui also fell asleep after that, so Xu Huaigu took advantage of nothing to pick up the practice matter that he had left behind for a long time.
He is still at the peak of the second realm and is still one step away from the third realm.
There is no way, the step for monks to break through has been extremely difficult since ancient times. Without enough chance and coincidence, it is difficult to break through by one's own strength. Fortunately, Xu Huaigu has a good attitude towards this. If it doesn't break, it won't be broken, and it won't be a big deal.
Seeing that both Yu Qin and Ping Cui were still sleeping peacefully on the bed, Xu Huaigu left the room without disturbing him. He wanted to go outside to bring Yu Qin some breakfast. But as soon as he walked out of the Xianyun Inn, he saw yesterday The Yi family's housekeeper, Tang Fu, stood at the door of the inn, looking inside anxiously.
As soon as he saw Xu Huaigu, he quickly came up and asked: "Little immortal master, you are fine. What happened to the thing I asked for yesterday?"
Xu Huaigu said: "I have already said hello to him, and he said it should be curable, but again, you have to come up with conditions that make him happy."
Tang Fu said: "Of course, no matter what, I would like to thank the little immortal master for being willing to help me!"
"It's okay, I'll take you to his room."
Xu Huaigu took Tang Fu to Huang Shan's room and knocked on Huang Shan's door. He saw that Huang Shan was also sitting on the ground meditating. He had obviously practiced all night.
Huang Shan opened his eyes and glanced at Tang Fu, then closed them again and said, "You want me to help your master exorcise ghosts? I'm a straight man, so I won't beat around the bush with you. Tell me your reward."
Tang Fu was a little embarrassed and said: "Can ten beads be enough? This is already the money our Yi family can raise by selling all the mansions. We really can't have more."
"Ten? That's too little. Ten beads are only enough for me to buy the talisman. Do you want me to draw the talisman for you for nothing? No, I won't do it at a loss."
Tang Fu looked embarrassed and blushed and said: "But my family really can't afford any money. If the immortal doesn't mind it, my young lady is still quite pretty. She is willing to follow the immortal and work for him in the future. I wonder what the immortal’s intention is?”
Huang Shan smiled and said: "Are you doing this again? No, I am a wild cultivator in the mountains. I live and die in the mountains all day long, and I also carry an oil bottle behind me? There is no need to talk about this. I just want to be practical. If you can’t bring it out, there’s no need to talk about it anymore.”
Tang Fu was at a loss and looked at Xu Huaigu. Xu Huaigu also shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
Tang Fu gritted his teeth, walked outside the door, and knelt down facing the room: "If the Immortal doesn't agree, I won't be able to get up on my knees here."
Huang Shan was helpless: "Why bother? You are just a housekeeper of the Yi family. If the tree falls and the hozens scatter, you can just leave the Yi family and find another way to make a living. Why should you suffer this grievance?"
Tang Fu replied: "The head of the family is kind to me, and I have to repay it. I was a poor scholar who failed in the exam. I almost starved to death in Xingqing City that winter. It was the head of the Yi family who saved me and showed me some skills. He kept me as an accountant, and later promoted me as a housekeeper. I will never forget this life-saving grace until my death. Now that the Yi family has declined, most of the servants have left. Although I It’s not of much use, but I will stay and try my best to repay this kindness no matter what.”
Huang Shan was in a dilemma, but he didn't want to be a good person, so he left Tang Fu lying on his knees at the door and continued to meditate.
Xu Huaigu also felt that Tang Fu was indeed a loyal man, but Huang Shan refused to help, and there was nothing he could do.
He shook his head and walked out of the inn to buy food.
But when he returned to Xianyun Inn carrying the hot buns, Tang Fu was still kneeling outside.
He walked over, handed out a bag of buns, and asked sympathetically: "You came so early today, haven't you had breakfast yet? How about eating two, they are still warm."
Tang Fu shook his head resolutely and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Xiaoxian. I understand it, but let's forget it."
Xu Huaigu returned to his room and saw that Yu Qin and Ping Cui were already awake, yawning lazily on the bed. The sun shone in from the window and sprinkled on their faces, which was very warm.
Xu Huaigu suddenly felt like ordinary people were living their lives.
He quickly put this strange thought aside and said to Yu Qin: "I bought it for you earlier. I will continue to practice in the next time. You can go and play by yourself first."
Yu Qin was unhappy: "You only know how to practice? Since we came to Xingqing, you have been either busy with this or that. You have never gone out to have fun. Why don't you take a rest today?"
Xu Huaigu thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. Not only was he very busy, but he also experienced several life-and-death dangers.
So he replied: "Well, I will take you to Xingqing City for a walk today."
Yu Qin smiled lightly, showing two small dimples, and said: "That's right, combine work and rest, get twice the result with half the effort."
Pingcui also jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Great, let's go out and play!"
The morning sun was bright, shining on the smiling faces of the three people.
...
"Brother Xu, look at this wooden bird. It's so interesting. Its wings can even move!"
Pingcui was playing with a delicate wooden bird bought from a carpenter's shop. The bird's wings fluttered up and down with the breeze, and its eyes moved around, making it quite interesting and lively.
Today's trip to Xingqing was an eye-opener for Xu Huaigu. Although he had traveled through the world and met many great monks, he was fairly knowledgeable about things in the spiritual world, but he didn't know much about things in the secular world. Just like this wooden bird, Xu Huaigu thought it was some kind of fairy weapon at first, but later he discovered that it was just a mechanism connected to each other, and the subtlety really surprised him.
Not only this exquisite wooden bird, Xu Huaigu and the others also bought many things, such as silver jewelry, bodhi seeds and other decorations. Yu Qin also bought a box of rouge and a box of thrush powder. After all, it was still a good time. Although the young girl grew up in the mountains and fields, she actually loves beauty.
Of course Xu Huaigu is happy with this. Girls just have to dress up beautifully, otherwise they will look lifeless and boring.
In addition, Xu Huaigu also bought Yu Qin a snow-white dagger with a white jade in the handle for self-defense.
After the three had a pleasant day, they returned home with a full load.
It was dusk in Xingqing, but when Xu Huaigu came back, he still saw Tang Fu kneeling at Huang Shan's door, motionless.
He probably had bad health. He had been kneeling on the ground all day without eating or drinking. At this time, his knees had begun to shake and his face was pale, but he persisted and had no intention of getting up.
Yu Qin frowned and asked Xu Huaigu in a low voice: "Who is he? Why is he kneeling at Huang Shan's door?"
Xu Huaigu told Yu Qin the whole story.
Yu Qin was moved and walked over, trying to help Tang Fu up, but he waved his hand and refused.
Yu Qin advised: "Get up first. Why do you have to kneel down like this if we can't discuss it carefully? Look, your legs are shaking. Take a rest. I'll help you go to Huang with you later." Say it kindly."
Tang Fu raised his head and said to Yu Qin: "Girl, you are a good person, but I really can't get up. I, Tang Fu, am not a mean person, but I can only ask this immortal for help now. If he is not cruel, the immortal will How do you know my determination? I have already decided this morning. If the Immortal doesn't agree, I can even kneel down and break my legs!"
Seeing how sincere he was, Yu Qin was afraid that her legs would break. She wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly she heard a "squeak" and Huang Shan's door was pushed open.
Huang Shan opened the door and said helplessly: "Get up quickly, I promise you."
Tang Fu looked up at Huang Shan, his eyes shining, and said, "Thank you so much, Immortal Chief, and thank you Immortal Chief Bodhisattva for your kindness!"
He was about to stand up, but before he could get up, he knelt down weakly on the ground. It turned out that his legs had lost all feeling.
Huang Shan couldn't bear it, so he took out a pill and said, "Swallow it to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, otherwise it will leave injuries."
Tang Fu held it respectfully with both hands and thanked him again.
Xu Huaigu came over with a smile and asked Tang Fu, "I wonder if I can go to the Yi family? I also want to see what kind of illness your master has."
Tang Fu was flattered: "Of course! If it weren't for the help of the little immortal, how could I have found this kind-hearted immortal? You are also the benefactor of our Yi family!"
Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "Well, you can take us there when the time comes."
Tang Fu rested for a while, then stood up tremblingly and said: "I have another unwelcome request. If the immortals have time, can I take you there now? The master's condition worsened yesterday. He is almost out of breath, and I don’t know how long he can live.”
Xu Huaigu nodded naturally, then he looked at Huang Shan pleadingly.
Huang Shan sighed and said, "Saving people's lives is important. I can go with you now."
Tang Fu bowed twice more, said no more, and took a few people to Xingqing Yi's house.
Seeing that Xu Huaigu and Huang Shan were going to Yi's house, Yu Qin and Ping Cui also felt that staying in the inn was boring, so they decided to go with them.
A group of people walked on the dusk streets of Xingqing, with crowds of people walking around.
Tang Fu led the four of them upstream along the small flowing water channel in Xingqing.
Xingqing City is indeed a big place. It took almost an hour and a half to walk from Xianyun Inn to Yi's house.
But the celebration at night is obviously more beautiful. No matter where you are, there are bright lights and it is extremely prosperous. It is much more lively than Binxi where Xu Huaigu has been.
When it got dark, several people turned around a street and finally saw the Yi family's mansion.
