Xu Huaigu was sitting cross-legged in his small attic, warming up his sword spirit. Wisps of small sword intent escaped from his body and turned into little streams of light, surrounding him, which looked quite strange.
This is what Xu Huaigu discovered after he was promoted to the fifth realm. His sword intention seemed to be able to condense into substance and exist between heaven and earth.
This is a very critical moment for sword cultivators, because when breaking through the five realms and the six realms, one needs to refine a natal flying sword, which is to use these condensed sword intentions as the sword intention of the natal flying sword.
Therefore, the more sword intent a sword cultivator can condense in the five realms, the more powerful the natal flying sword will be. But Xu Huaigu's mind was not here. He was thinking about Zhuang Yeyun who left everyone during the day.
Originally, after the incident at the restaurant last time, Xu Huaigu already felt a little disgusted with Zhuang Yeyun, but today when he saw this woman looking frustrated because her opponent was Fan Xuan, he felt a little distressed for no reason.
Xu Huaigu didn't know the reason, so he could only attribute his heartache to the fact that he liked Zhuang Yeyun's appearance.
The moonlight has darkened, and a crescent moon on the horizon is shining like a charity, and it is blocked by heavy clouds and fog. Tonight is destined to be a moonless night.
Xu Huaigu felt calm in his heart. The small sword intent around him was like a swimming fish, constantly shuttling back and forth between his body and the outside world, agile and lively.
He felt that the connection between himself and the sword intention was getting stronger and stronger. This was a sign that the sword intention was improving. Xu Huaigu did not dare to waste this opportunity and immersed himself in it, eager to take a further step in the sword.
However, a knock on the door as soft as a mosquito reached his ears, pulling him out of the realm where man and sword merged into one.
Xu Huaigu slowly opened his eyes, not angry. His mood was unusually quiet tonight. The knock on the door only rang once, but Xu Huaigu didn't think he heard it wrong. He stood up gently, walked to the door, and opened the wooden door.
There was a woman standing outside the door with her head bowed, wearing a white tulle skirt and holding a lamp. The light illuminated her figure just right.
Xu Huaigu was slightly surprised, and invited the woman into the attic. Then he lit up a few pearls in the attic, and the building suddenly became bright.
However, this pearl cannot compare with the sun, and the light it emits has a hint of hazyness. Xu Huaigu sat down where he had raised his sword before, and the woman sat opposite him.
She pulled up her hair and combed some scattered black hair behind her ears. Xu Huaigu had been looking at her face since she sat down. The woman seemed quite shy, keeping her head down and not daring to look up.
Under the dim light, it was a very beautiful face. When Xu Huaigu first saw her, he thought her appearance was sweet and delicate, like a deer, but now it seems that she looks like an injured and frightened deer.
Xu Huaigu asked her, "Why did you come to my place?" The woman was Zhuang Yeyun, who had left everyone during the day. She said, "I know I am no match for Fan Xuan, but I want to go to Middle Earth." Xu Huaigu was a little disappointed. He nodded and said, "I understand, you want me to help you." Zhuang Yeyun said, "Yes, I want to go to Middle-earth as your Taoist companion." Xu Huaigu narrowed his eyes and examined the appearance in front of him. The charming woman is deep in thought.
Zhuang Yeyun stood up, sat next to Xu Huaigu, and gently leaned his head on the corner of his shoulder. Xu Huaigu did not move.
He looked at Zhuang Yeyun clinging to his side. His mind was confused for a moment and he didn't know where to start. Zhuang Yeyun had dressed up carefully today, put on some makeup, and was wearing a white gauze skirt. Xu Huaigu could even feel the temperature of her skin through the gauze skirt, but he had no other distracting thoughts for the time being.
Xu Huaigu asked her: "You don't like me, why do you need to rely on this method to go to Middle-earth? There are many ways to go to Middle-earth, which is not good for you." Zhuang Yeyun said with a helpless smile: "How do you know I don’t like you? I know so many monks in Zixia Sect, why do I only look for you and not others? Sure enough, I am not trusted by you." Xu Huaigu felt a little uneasy, and subconsciously held her hand up Shoulder angle.
It was so quiet in the attic that you could hear a pin drop, the only sound left was the slightly panicked breathing of the two of them. There was one last thing Xu Huaigu wanted to know, so he asked her softly: "Why do you have to go to the Middle Earth? You have a very high status in the Plum Blossom Sect. If you go to the Middle Earth, you will only be an ordinary person." Zhuang Yeyun stared at He opened his eyes and said: "East Fuyao Island is about to die. We can only survive by going to Middle Earth." Xu Huaigu sighed and said, "Is it because of the invasion of the demon clan again?" Zhuang Yeyun's eyes flashed. With a trace of surprise, he nodded and did not ask why Xu Huaigu knew this matter that was supposed to be top secret.
Xu Huaigu said: "I once met a person who knew that the demon clan was about to invade like you. But his choice was not to escape, but to advance and retreat with the sect to the end." That was Li Siqing.
Zhuang Yeyun frowned and said, "Are you accusing me?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "No, I don't mean to accuse you, I'm just talking to you. Everyone is born with their own rights, among which the preservation of Your own life is the most important thing. You just want to live. If you can be blamed for this, what else is there to say? It’s just that you and Li Siqing chose different paths. In my eyes, it’s not right or wrong. ." Xu Huaigu knew that everything Zhuang Yeyun did was just to survive, including coming to his attic tonight for this reason.
But whether there was sincerity in it as she said, Xu Huaigu felt that there should be, but he didn't know how much, so he pitied her.
Xu Huaigu said to her: "But I have no intention of going to Middle-earth. Even if I get into the top twenty of the Taoist Association, my place can only be left empty. But if you want, I can leave my place empty." I'll give it to you." Zhuang Yeyun was slightly surprised for a moment, then said: "Why don't you go? You clearly know that you will die if you stay in Dong Fuyao Island, and it will be too late to leave by then." Xu Huaigu said: "I was born in Dong Fuyao Island. Fuyaozhou, my relatives, friends, and people I like are all in East Fuyaozhou. I will not leave. But you don’t have to worry. After this Taoist meeting, I will immediately set off to Fuyao Sect to continue practicing there. If the demon clan invades and East Fuyao Continent falls on that day, if I am still alive, I should go to Middle-earth, and we may be able to see each other again then." Zhuang Yeyun, who was reading a book, asked him disappointedly: "Why don't you go, insist on it? Staying here, with your cultivation, will not have any impact on the overall situation." Xu Huaigu said: "With my current strength, it is indeed not possible, but what about ten years from now, twenty years from now? One day, I will Stand up and use the sword in my hand to protect the person you want to protect. You and I are of different minds and cannot go together." Zhuang Yeyun frowned and said: "You really dislike me, but although I am dissolute , I'm still a virgin. Even if we can't get together in the end, not even this casual marriage?" Xu Huaigu said softly: "This is my first time." Zhuang Yeyun smiled shyly, naturally full of charm.
She gently untied her clothes, revealing her snow-white neck and collarbone, put her arms around Xu Huaigu's neck, and faced him.
Tonight, the deserted moon has become gentle. ...Liu Waner had returned to the attic alone a long time ago. Tonight, her mind was very confused for no reason, and she couldn't even practice sword practice.
In desperation, she walked out of the attic, intending to relax nearby. Luotuofeng is the residence specially prepared by the Zixia Sect for this Taoist meeting. Therefore, on the mountain, all the disciples came to participate in the Taoist meeting, and there were not many disciples of the Zixia Sect.
The night was already very deep at this time, and it happened to be such a dark night. Camelback was even more lonely and cold, and there were few people around. Liu Waner didn't see even a single person along the way.
However, when she went out, she saw the lights on in Xu Huaigu's attic, and she didn't know what he was doing, but Liu Waner didn't knock on the door.
She was a little nostalgic for her childhood days in Qingfeng Valley. At that time, one of her favorite things to do was to walk at night.
That feeling of loneliness and quietness became very rare after she began to practice hard. Liu Waner was a little sad, but when she was recalling the past, she heard what seemed to be rapid footsteps coming from beside her.
Liu Waner was startled and quickly hid behind a tree and looked in the direction where the footsteps came from. But immediately, she realized that her behavior was ridiculous.
After all, there are so many people living in Camelback, maybe there are people like me who are relaxing outside? But her intuition told her that something was wrong, so she waited until the footsteps were a little farther away from her, and then she followed them lightly.
The man walked in a hurry, all the way down the mountain, and stopped at the foot of a mountain. Liu Waner was hiding behind a tree on the hillside, trying to see what the man was going to do.
He waited at the foot of the mountain for a short time, and then a woman in white arrived at the foot of the mountain. The two had obviously made an appointment and were discussing something in a low voice.
Liu Waner couldn't help but doubt herself. Could it be that it was just a private meeting between a man and a woman? Could it be that I am paranoid?
But at this moment, she was keenly aware of a demonic aura, coming from the direction of those two people. She had been following the man before and had no demonic aura, so the demonic aura must have come from the woman in white. Unexpectedly, there was a demon sneaking in in this Zixia Sect.
Liu Waner realized that the matter might not be simple, so she hid and concentrated, trying to hear what they were going to say.
But the voices of the two people were very low and they were far apart, so she couldn't hear a word clearly. Not long after, the two people had finished talking. The woman in white took the lead and quickly disappeared into the jungle.
The man didn't stay any longer and prepared to return to Camelback along the way he came. Liu Waner squatted on the spot, watching the man walk by not far in front of her. She stopped breathing and stared at the man, trying to see his face clearly.
The man was getting closer and closer, and Liu Waner finally saw his features clearly. It turned out to be the man who drank in the restaurant without paying for it that day, and it was not Jiang Chengcuo.
Liu Wan'er frowned, wondering why Jiang Chengcuo, who was known as a wild cultivator in the world, was related to the demon?
The origin of Jiang Chengcuo was already mysterious, and now it becomes even more mysterious. Liu Waner felt that this matter should not be taken lightly. When Jiang Chengcuo left her far away, she returned to the attic with doubts.
