In the courtyard of Qiyin City, Xu Huaigu went back to his room to practice swordsmanship after talking to Zuo Qiuxun that night. He practiced for three days and three nights.
Bai Xiaoyu knew that Zuo Qiuxun and Xu Huaigu must have said something that made him behave like this, but Naihe didn't know what exactly they said, so he just worried in vain and couldn't think of a good way to solve it.
But it was impossible for her to continue cultivating like this while watching Xu Huaigu become possessed, so she thought of an idea and prepared to let Xu Huaigu rest for a while.
After making up her mind, she gently opened the door of Xu Huaigu's room and walked in. I saw Xu Huaigu sitting cross-legged on the ground, with two swords, one long and one short, placed on both sides of his body. A trace of sword intention emanated from Xu Huaigu's body. This was the ability of sword practitioners in the fifth realm to turn sword intention into substance.
Bai Xiaoyu sat down next to Xu Huaigu, pushed away the Jianyi beside him with some spiritual energy, and patted his shoulder gently to wake him up.
Xu Huaigu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Bai Xiaoyu beside him. He took a few breaths of fresh air before calming down and asked: "Sister Bai, what do you want from me?" Bai Xiaoyu said worriedly: " You have been practicing swordsmanship for three days and three nights, and you don't even know how to take a break. How can you do it?" Xu Huaigu said: "But what can I do if I don't practice? Qiyin is only such a big place, and we all We've almost traveled all over, why don't we go see the flowers?" Bai Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "I'm not asking you to go see the flowers, but I have another important thing to tell you." Xu Huaigu asked curiously: "What's the matter?" Bai Xiaoyu said: "You are now at the middle stage of the fifth realm. With your cultivation speed, it is enough to break through the sixth realm within one year. Sword cultivation to break through the sixth realm requires refining a natal flying sword. Do you want to Which one is ready to be refined?" Xu Huaigu picked up the dagger.
"Cangshui" said: "I have already thought about it, so I will refine it. Not only has it been with me for so many years, but it is also a first-class magic weapon, which is very suitable for refining the flying sword of this life." Bai Xiaoyu said: "You are A rare natural sword in the world, Feijian must be the best. With the rank of this sword's top magic weapon, it is not worthy of your qualifications." Xu Huaigu smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "I want it too. Immortal weapons, but those immortal weapons are all rare items that can be found but not found. They are not even sold in the monk market. Where can I find them at this moment?" Bai Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Of course monks don't trade in the market. Immortal weapon, but I recently learned a piece of news. In the next few days, a monk's auction will be held in Qiyin. At this auction, a sword of the highest grade will be auctioned. This sword The origin of it is not small. It is said that it used to be an immortal weapon, but it was severely damaged and fell to the level of a superior magic weapon. If there is a chance in the future, we can find a way to repair it into an immortal weapon. We will buy it and refine it into life. Feijian, you have been using this dagger for so many years and you are comfortable with it. It is also good as an external sword." Xu Huaigu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Is there such a good thing? But you should not be the only one who knows this news, right? When the competition starts at the auction, the price will be very high. How can I afford it?" Bai Xiaoyu said: "I roughly estimated the price, and I should be able to buy this broken sword with two colored beads. Moreover, I have roughly estimated the price. Even if you have no money, I can lend it to you first." Xu Huaigu thought for a moment and said, "I still have two colored beads, but after buying them, I really lost everything." He suddenly seemed to think of something. What did he say, and then asked: "Sister Bai, since it is an auction, can I sell something?" Bai Xiaoyu asked curiously: "Do you have anything on you that you can sell?" Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "I am going to Zixia Sect. Before the meeting, I did a favor to the county magistrate of Baihai City in Baihai, and he gave me two kilograms of snow jade, a specialty of Baihai. That snow jade is only useful to Taoist cultivators, and is not of much use to me, a sword cultivator. So if you keep saving it, you should be able to sell it for a lot of money, right?" Bai Xiaoyu pondered for a while and said, "Snow jade is indeed precious and is usually sold in twos. I remember that snow jade was very expensive some time ago, but recently the price has increased. It has come down. Now it should be ten big beads and one tael of snow jade. Your two kilograms can be sold for two colored beads." Xu Huaigu said in surprise: "So much money? That would be great. I have always wanted to buy one. I should be able to find a robe." Bai Xiaoyu looked at the way he smiled and felt happy in her heart, and said: "Okay, I will take you to that auction in a few days, but Xueyu will You don’t need to sell it there, just sell it to the drug store in the Monk Market.” Xu Huaigu nodded and said, “Okay.” Bai Xiaoyu smiled and said, “Then it’s settled, I’ll take you to the Monk Market tomorrow. Take a stroll in the market, sell the snow jade, and buy a robe by the way. I will take you to the auction then." After that, she got up and prepared to leave, but when she walked to the door, she suddenly seemed to remember What? He said with a smile on his face: "By the way, Jiang Chengcuo has confessed to me. You went to drink flower wine together last time, right? I didn't expect that you, a kid like me, haven't improved much in your skills after being away from me for several years." , but I learned a lot. "Xu Huaigu was so embarrassed that his face was hot and he was speechless.
Bai Xiaoyu smiled heartily and said: "Looking at your shyness, I don't blame you. I know you were deceived by Jiang Chengcuo. But I heard that not only the wine there is good, but the tea is also of the highest quality. Tonight, Jiang Chengcuo and I We plan to go there together, do you want to come with us?" Xu Huaigu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sister Bai will also go to that kind of place?" Bai Xiaoyu said, "Where you are is not a problem, the question is whether you can keep your place. Heart. Even in a brothel, I only drink tea and am not disturbed by external things. How can it not be a peaceful place?" There is actually another meaning in her words, which is that she is in the Demon Sect.
However, Xu Huaigu didn't think that much. He just nodded and agreed: "Then I will go with you. I drank the wine there last time and it tasted really good. I was in a hurry that time and didn't taste it well. I will definitely make up for it this time. " Seeing that Xu Huaigu agreed, Bai Xiaoyu walked out with confidence.
In the evening, she called Jiang Chengcuo, and the three of them went to the Zuihua Garden again. Along the way, they were talking about the auction three days later. It is said that the broken sword in the finale is still a famous ancient sword. The specific one has not been revealed yet, but there is no doubt that it must be A good sword made Xu Huaigu look forward to it.
After entering the Zuihua Garden, the three of them showed their identities and then took their seats on the top floor. But this time Bai Xiaoyu gave special instructions, so there was no girl to accompany the wine. There were only a few maids carrying wine and tea to accompany them, and the three of them drank by themselves.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Jiang Chengcuo asked Xu Huaigu: "Brother Xu, didn't you say that the token on the girl's waist was of great use to you last time? If you don't call her up this time, you and her will meet again." Let's talk about it?" Xu Huaigu shook his head resolutely and said, "Forget it, since she doesn't want to give it to me, I'm too lazy to ask her around. I will have a way to get her to hand it over when the time comes." Jiang Chengcuo nodded. , poured Xu Huaigu a glass of wine, the two toasted each other, and then began to talk about other things.
Xu Huaigu asked a little maid next to him: "When we came here twice, we were both at the highest level. Does your highest level only receive monks?" The little maid quickly replied: "This immortal not only receives monks, but also monks." Some big guests. However, there have been a lot of monks coming to our place recently. The rooms on the top floor are all full. If they come later, they will have to go to the lower floor." Xu Huaigu nodded thoughtfully, Said: "Is it because of this auction? It's just an auction, so it won't alarm so many outsiders, right?" Bai Xiaoyu explained: "That's because this auction is different from the previous ones. Then The final broken sword is both a famous sword and a sword that can be promoted to an immortal weapon, so it is normal for it to attract so many monks. However, it is actually very difficult to repair a broken magic weapon. Without a method, there is no way. Otherwise, no one would put this broken sword up for auction. But all the monks are like this. They have a little luck, maybe it will be repaired by themselves? Therefore, there are particularly many people who come here for this broken sword. ." Xu Huaigu thought it was funny and asked: "Sister Bai, are you so confident in me that you think I can fix it?" Bai Xiaoyu knocked on his head and said, "Stop saying such depressing words, you can If you can't find a way to repair this qualification, who else can you expect? Anyway, this broken sword is a rare encounter, and you will make a profit if you get it." Xu Huaigu smiled and touched his head and said: "Sister Bai, if you have something to say, please speak up. What should I do?" Bai Xiaoyu smiled lightly and ignored him. Jiang Chengcuo looked on and also laughed.
It's still beautiful between the three of us. In the room, people drank tea and ate wine. Everyone let go of their restraints and chatted to their heart's content. However, they heard a noise coming from outside the room, and they couldn't help but be curious.
The noise came from the lobby on the first floor. The three of them put down their glasses and walked to the window to look outside. They saw that the veil of a woman playing the guqin in the lobby had been lifted at some point. , was covering his cheeks with both hands in embarrassment, the other musicians were also panicked, and the stage was a bit messy.
Xu Huaigu looked from a distance and could see that there was a large burn mark on the woman's cheek. No matter how hard she covered it, a little bit would still be exposed.
This woman plays the guqin very well, and I thought that her appearance must match her temperament, but from this point of view, it is indeed a pity, and a group of people under the lobby have begun to laugh and boo with evil intentions.
"It turns out that this girl is so ugly. No wonder she keeps her veil hidden all day long!"
"Stop talking, if you keep talking, I will spit out the wine I just drank!" When the woman heard these words, it hit her sore spot, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
But she couldn't put the veil on, so she had to cover her face with her hands, letting tears fall between her fingers.
Xu Huaigu looked around and saw that there was no one else around the woman. A monk must have cast a spell to deliberately mock her, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Jiang Chengcuo couldn't stand it anymore and said displeasedly: "It was done by monks. I don't know who it is. They have entered the spiritual world and are still playing these boring tricks." Bai Xiaoyu raised his hand, and a trace of spiritual energy gathered from the sky and the earth. , floated to the stage, gently put the veil on the woman, and wiped away her tears.
Just when Bai Xiaoyu made his move, someone sitting in the lobby suddenly turned his head and looked in surprise at where Xu Huaigu and the others were standing.
Bai Xiaoyu glared at him, and Jiang Chengcuo said disdainfully: "He did it, shameless person." Xu Huaigu originally wanted to say something to him, but after seeing the man's appearance, his memory suddenly seemed to be touched. At a certain point, I always felt that this person looked very familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere, but I couldn't remember it.
The man's name was about to come out, but it lacked a little meaning. Xu Huaigu thought about it carefully and suddenly woke up.
That man actually looked like his childhood playmate in Qingling, Zhang Xiaohe! But how could he be here?
Xu Huaigu recalled what Deng Zhiyuan asked Yin Zushi to bring to him. She said that Zhang Xiaohe disappeared in Qingling and his whereabouts were unknown.
Could it be such a coincidence that today it was him? Xu Huaigu was anxious to confirm this guess, and quickly looked at the man, only to see that the man had disappeared into the crowd, leaving only an empty seat in place.
When Bai Xiaoyu and Jiang Chengcuo saw that the storm had subsided, they returned to the room and sat down, started drinking wine and tea, and talked about the behavior of the previous person.
It inevitably talks about the despicable wild cultivators in the monk world, as well as the human character. Xu Huaigu's eyes searched the lobby several times, but he still couldn't see the shadow of the man, so he had to sit back with doubts.
But even though I was sitting and drinking, I no longer felt like drinking. Bai Xiaoyu saw Xu Huaigu looking a little lonely, so he asked with concern: "What's wrong?" Xu Huaigu came back to his senses, took a sip of wine, smiled covertly, and said: "It's nothing."
