The group stayed in a courtyard in an unknown alley in Qiyin, planning to follow Bai Xiaoyu and spend two days in Qiyin.
Bai Xiaoyu was a rare visitor to the couple who lived in Qiyin, so naturally they had to treat her well. The Confucian scholar, who was called Liulang, went to the city to buy good wine and food, while the woman stayed at home, busy lighting firewood and making tea for several people.
The woman was busy on the side. Xu Huaigu saw that she was not only beautiful, but also quite skilled in doing these tasks, and he couldn't help but feel good about her.
But this good impression is just a feeling that there is such a virtuous and dignified woman in the world, nothing more.
Bai Xiaoyu and three people were guests, but the woman didn't ask them to help, so the three of them moved a few small benches and sat leaning against the courtyard wall, looking at the house where the couple lived.
Xu Huaigu was curious about their life experiences, so he asked: "Sister Bai, where are the two of them from?" Bai Xiaoyu said: "They are all very ordinary people, they don't have any great backgrounds, they are just talented people and beauties. I don't know who they are." It's just a story told many times." Jiang Chengcuo said with a smile: "This story about a talented man and a beautiful woman is the most common among storytellers. I have heard it so many times before that I feel bored. It is too cliche to talk about it. . But today I saw with my own eyes that they lived a happy life, and I realized that this kind of story really does exist in reality. It made me change my mind a little." Bai Xiaoyu continued: "These two people were originally in Yamato They lived in a small town in the north of the country. They were childhood sweethearts and played well. Later, the man asked for fame and ran away to a foreign country. The woman was reluctant to leave, so she wanted to follow. But you have also seen that Xiaoer was born and raised extremely beautifully. Her parents planned to marry her to a local rich man. The rich man was not bad in character, and he wanted to marry her as his wife. However, Xiao Er had no intention of marrying him, but her parents forced her to, so she was in a dilemma. I got involved. After she went in and explained the truth to her parents, she found this house for them in Qiyin, so that the man could continue his career and the woman could live with him." This is a good story, Xu Huaigu But he asked: "I saw that the man was still studying scriptures, as if he had not obtained any fame. So where did the money these two people need to live come from?" Bai Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Of course I am helping behind the scenes, but I just gave them money through some secret means. They probably haven't noticed it yet. The money I gave them was only enough for the two of them to live a poor life in Qiyin. Today I saw them buying us good wine and food, which was quite generous. , which shows the people's hearts. It is said that the man has been in Qiyin for four or five years, and he is still studying. The woman must have endured hardship following him. But it is indeed rare for them to enjoy it." Xu Huaigu said: "If it is in the story book, the man It’s time to become a high-ranking official after being selected as a Jinshi, and the matchmaker is getting married.” Bai Xiaoyu shook his head and said, “Things in the world are rarely perfect.” There was a strong wind between heaven and earth for no reason, and Xu Huaigu Just when I felt cool, something unexpected happened.
Along with the strong wind, a tall woman in green jumped down from the courtyard wall and stood next to Xu Huaigu.
Xiao'er, who was still making tea, heard the noise and looked over there with a startled look on her face. She quickly wanted to ask her why she broke into the yard, but Bai Xiaoyu smiled at her and said, "It's okay, this is my guest too." , but the behavior was a bit reckless, so it was abrupt. You make your tea, and she will leave in a moment." Xiaoer agreed as if he was stunned, and then continued to make tea.
Bai Xiaoyu surrounded the four people here with a line of spiritual energy, separating them from Xiao'er. She could no longer hear the noise here, nor could she see what was happening inside.
The person who came was Deng Zhiyuan. She was looking at Bai Xiaoyu with a scrutinizing gaze and said slowly: "I have found out your identities. You are Bai Xiaoyu from the Demon Sect, and Jiang Chengcuo next to you is also a member of the Demon Sect. People. As a member of the Demon Sect, he dares to break into the Zixia Sect Taoist Association without permission. He is quite courageous." When Xu Huaigu saw Deng Zhiyuan, he was delighted to say a few words to her, but when he heard her unkind tone, he suddenly became confused. Shocked, she realized that she was here because of Bai Xiaoyu and Jiang Chengcuo's identity as a demon sect.
The sword intent of the Ten Realm Sword Immortal spread out and enveloped the corner beside the courtyard wall. The sword intent was sharp and piercing, and Bai Xiaoyu and Jiang Chengcuo gritted their teeth before they could hold on.
But as long as Deng Zhiyuan has a thought, the two of them will live and die in the blink of an eye. Xu Huaigu quickly advised: "Senior Deng, although they are from the Demon Sect, they are not bad-hearted. Is it just because of the sect that they kill people regardless of right or wrong?" Deng Zhiyuan said: "You don't understand the Demon Sect. The harm is so great in the Central Territory. Think about the Battle of Binxi at that time, if I hadn't taken action, wouldn't Sun Xiang, who took you out of Qingling, die at the hands of the demon envoy Ying Ya? At that time, Liang Chen was only in the Ninth Realm, And Murong Di, how can he escape? The entire East Fuyao Continent has lost more than half of its upper-level combat power. When the demon clan invades, East Fuyao Continent is like fish and meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others. You are just an acquaintance with the two of them, Are you going to stop me from killing the demon sect's people?" Xu Huaigu stood up, stood in front of Bai Xiaoyu, and said firmly: "I don't care about the justice of the world, I only know that Sister Bai is willing to die in order to save me, then I will die, Nor will she be harmed. If Senior Deng wants to kill her, kill me first. Anyway, I am able to reach this point only by relying on Senior Deng’s skills and sword. I, Xu Huaigu, guarantee that I will not have any intention towards Senior Deng. Complain." Deng Zhiyuan stared at him for a long time before retracting his sword intent. Bai Xiaoyu and Jiang Chengcuo were immediately relieved. They took a breath and raised their hands to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.
Jiang Chengcuo knelt on the ground and said respectfully to Deng Zhiyuan: "Junior thanks senior for not killing." Bai Xiaoyu glanced at him without making any move.
Xu Huaigu also held up his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Senior Deng, for not killing you." Deng Zhiyuan looked away and said indifferently: "It's not because of Xu Huaigu that I won't kill you. It's just that I saw what you did in this courtyard in Qiyin today. Just let you go." She said coldly: "In this way, Bai Xiaoyu, not only did you help this couple, you can also say that this couple saved your lives. From now on, you and this couple will be together. Even if we don't owe each other any more, if you leave Qiyin this time, don't come back to see them again. It's not your turn to take care of how we humans should live in the world." Bai Xiaoyu asked: "Senior, how should we live in the world? Are you afraid that after the demon clan invades, they will be implicated because of their relationship with me?" Deng Zhiyuan snorted coldly and did not answer.
Bai Xiaoyu said: "Since senior has spoken, I dare not disobey him. From now on, my fate with these two people has ended and we will never see each other again." Xu Huaigu felt regretful, but Deng Zhiyuan said such words, which was extremely extreme. A big concession, Xu Huaigu didn't expect anything else.
Deng Zhiyuan continued: "Actually, I didn't follow you deliberately. I just came here because I had something to tell Xu Huaigu. I happened to encounter such a strange thing, so I watched it for a while. It turns out that the people of the demon tribe have a heart. Not all bad." Bai Xiaoyu said with a helpless smile: "There are people with completely bad hearts. Even if there are, they are just that lunatic. But everyone has their own standpoint, and there are demons too. From different standpoints and angles Since then, right and wrong have been mixed and mixed, making it difficult to explain clearly. Just like the ink dragon of the demon clan, which killed countless people. But the place where the demon clan originally lived outside the territory was destroyed, and he had no choice but to invade the central territory. His vision , They are just seeking a place for their own tribe to live and reproduce. Another example is the human race in the Central Region, which hates the demon race and is just worried about the lives and interests of their own race. Is that wrong? From their own perspectives, the two They are all correct, but in the eyes of the other party, they are all big mistakes. Who can explain this clearly?" Deng Zhiyuan was quite approving and said: "Little guy, your future is immeasurable." Bai Xiaoyu said with a smile. "Senior has a very good vision. My master once said that you should start at least ten realms." Deng Zhiyuan sighed in admiration and said: "You are so good at ten realms. How dare you say this, and you are not afraid that I will regret it and kill you?" Bai Xiaoyu shook his head and said. "Don't be afraid. What senior said is of course true. There is no reason to take it back." Deng Zhiyuan said, "Ignore you for now. I still have something to ask Xu Huaigu." Xu Huaigu said quickly: "Senior, yes Whatever you want to ask, I will answer it all."
"I heard from Yin Zishi that Mingxin Jade Hairpin and the girl named Yu Qin, you said you wanted to send her to Fuyao Sect to practice, have you made up your mind?" Xu Huaigu was a little embarrassed and said: "I want her to Go, but after all, my vision is too narrow. I don’t know whether this is right or wrong. Does senior think she should be allowed to go?" Deng Zhiyuan persuaded: "It is better to practice. Troubled times are coming. In any case, if you have the ability, Protecting yourself is not a bad thing." Xu Huaigu nodded suddenly and said: "I think so too, then I will follow the senior's words and ask the senior to take her to Fuyao Sect."
"I still have a lot of things to deal with in Fuyao Sect. The sooner I go back, the better. Do you two want to see each other to say goodbye?" Xu Huaigu thought for a while and said, "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the separation." Deng Zhiyuan smiled. Said: "When you said goodbye to the girl named Li Zi in Binxi, it seemed that you were in the same situation?" Xu Huaigu also smiled and said, "Yes, but it was somewhat forced by Sun Xiang. But now that I think about it, what Sun Xiang did was really for the good of me and her, and I feel that it should be like this."
"When we say goodbye to sword cultivators, we should cut through the mess quickly. I really can't stand that coy little behavior. Xu Huaigu, if you can think of this, it's pretty good." Xu Huaigu smiled helplessly. , I have thanked Deng Zhiyuan.
Deng Zhiyuan took one last look at the two demons and Xiao'er who was busy lighting the fire and making tea. He felt a little emotional and prepared to leave.
Deng Zhiyuan didn't know why he sheathed his sword today. If the woman in white didn't kill her now, she would definitely be a hidden danger to the human race in the future.
But when the sword was about to be unsheathed, she actually felt that she shouldn't kill him morally. Not only did Deng Zhiyuan not know why she sheathed her sword, but who would have thought that this good relationship that Bai Xiaoyu forged unintentionally could actually save her today?
The way of spiritual practice has already been determined with one drink and one peck, and it seems that we can get a glimpse of it. Deng Zhiyuan put these thoughts aside for the time being, and with a flick of his sleeves, a cyan flying sword landed on the bottom of his feet. He actually planned to wield the sword out of Qiyin.
Seeing Deng Zhiyuan leave, Xu Huaigu suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "Senior! Can you tell me who the original owner of the hosta is?" Deng Zhiyuan paused for a moment, shook his head and said: "The woman's surname is Yang, she is a swordsman, you know so much That's enough. Let's find the answer slowly in the future." After that, regardless of Xu Huaigu's doubts, a green sword light rose from the ground, like a stroke of green ink on a watercolor painting, crossing the air.
Xiao Er, who was making tea, quickly turned around and looked at the cyan arc in surprise, then looked at Bai Xiaoyu and the other three people, full of doubts and confusion.
Liulang, who had gone out to buy wine and vegetables, was walking in the alleyway home. He was stunned when he saw this blue rainbow rising from his home.
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly quickened his pace and rushed home, fearing that something would happen to Xiao'er. Not only the couple, but all the people in Qiyin saw this scene, and they stopped what they were doing and started watching.
A martial artist from the Yamato royal family punched Qinghong and said angrily: "Who dares to act so arrogantly in our capital of Yamato!" A white sword energy easily knocked him back to where he was, and he stood there in shock. , eyes full of disbelief.
A dignified ninth-level martial artist, this sword energy only pushed back but did not hurt him, which was a bit humiliating to him.
He looked up and heard a female voice coming from where the sword light disappeared.
"You can't control it!"
