Because there was Cai Shun on the sword, in order to take care of her, Xu Huaigu's flying sword was not fast. When the group returned to the house, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
From the height of Feijian, the appearance of this village in the seaside swamp is no different from yesterday. The surrounding trees are lush and green, and not far away is the boundless blue ocean, which is as blue as a gem, creating rippling waves in the sunlight.
Although the scenery is the same as yesterday, the village is really different. The spirit of this village no longer feels lifeless, but gives people a fresh feeling of surviving after a disaster.
Sure enough, with Tao Wen's death, this village has changed. Xu Huaigu led a group of people to the ground, but saw that the thatched hut was still the same as yesterday. Xu Huaigu opened one of the rooms and went in to take a look. He found that the ghosts that Tao Wen had used magic to preserve had disappeared, leaving only an empty house. room.
When Grandma Miao saw this scene, her face was full of smiles and she said to Xu Huaigu: "These ghosts are also people who died unjustly. They had no nostalgia for the human world and should not have turned into ghosts. However, they were blocked by Tao Wen with magic." Only then will they stay. Now that Tao Wen is dead, it's time for them to be reincarnated. The Sword Immortal has saved so many ghosts and has accumulated great merit. There will definitely be good rewards in the future. "Good rewards?
Do good deeds get rewarded? Xu Huaigu is no longer the fledgling child he was back then. Good rewards are not brought about by doing good deeds, but by his state of mind.
Xu Huaigu smiled and asked Granny Miao: "Old man, you are well-informed. Could you tell me whether the merits and karma that this monk values are true?" Granny Miao said seriously: "These are all It has been passed down by word of mouth from the older generation. If the Sword Immortal insists on finding examples, there are people who have done good deeds all their lives and ended up miserable, and there are bullies who have done evil all their lives but live happier than anyone else. I really can't explain. But I believe that if you do good things, there will be benefits, and it is better than doing bad things." Xu Huaigu nodded thoughtfully and stopped talking.
Gu Sanyue felt that Xu Huaigu was a little strange, so he walked up to him and asked cautiously: "Master, what happened to you today?" Xu Huaigu looked at her, smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of something." He looked like Thinking of it, he asked again: "By the way, March, do you think it is really useful to protect yourself and the people around you and do good deeds?" Gu March thought about it seriously and said, "Although the two are not the same. There is no direct relationship, but it cannot be said to be useless. After all, it is better to do good things than to do bad things." Xu Huaigu asked again: "What about realm? Is realm useful?" Gu Sanyue said without thinking: "Of course it is useful, realm The most useful. After all, when the truth doesn’t make sense, you have to rely on your realm. For example, this time, if it weren’t for your high realm and great swordsmanship, master, our group would really have fallen into the hands of Tao Wen. But realm and doing Good things do not conflict. We can improve our realm and do good deeds at the same time." Xu Huaigu said, "But how can there be so many good things in this world? Many times, improving our realm and doing good deeds are in conflict." Xu Huaigu seemed to remember something and said to her: "I once met a person, an old Taoist priest in black, who was a ghost cultivator. He had a wind chime in his hand, which was an evil thing that wanted to suck people's blood essence. Only then can he restore the rank of the Immortal Soldier. In order to improve his strength, he did not hesitate to collude with another ghost, intending to murder the lives of the people in the entire city. Do you think this is right?" Gu Sanyue glanced in confusion. Xu Huaigu said strangely: "Of course it's not right. How can you base the improvement of your strength on the lives of others? Of course it doesn't work. Master, what happened to you today? Why do you always ask questions like this?" Xu Huaigu's expression changed. Not surprised, didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and continued walking in the direction of the house.
Granny Miao led the way, and soon after, several people entered the house, and then walked from the front yard to the corridor leading to the embroidery building.
After turning a corner, Granny Miao stopped, pointed to a small room at the corner, and said to Xu Huaigu: "Xu Jianxian, I put that bracelet in it." This corner was where Xu Huaigu followed him last time. Grandma Diumiao enters a secret place.
Granny Miao did not deceive him. If that bracelet really existed, it could only be inside. Grandma Miao took out a bunch of keys from her body, skillfully pulled out one and opened the door.
Xu Huaigu opened the door first. There seemed to be a small room similar to an ancestral hall. A statue of an unknown person was located on a high place facing the door. There was a copper incense burner full of patina underneath, with several incense burners inserted in it. The unburned incense must have been extinguished before playing with it for a long time.
There were a few spider webs on the incense burner, and it looked like no one had used it for a long time. Grandma Miao stepped forward and cleared the cobwebs on the incense burner. She sighed and said, "This is the statue made by Tao Wen when the house was just built. This statue is the old man of our Cai family. He was still afraid of the young lady at that time. I miss you so much in the house, so I created the statue, which is a lot of thought." Cai Shun snorted from behind and said displeasedly: "If he really wanted me well, he shouldn't have treated me like that!" Granny Miao said to her. Cai Shun obeyed the instructions, so she no longer paid attention to the spider webs. Instead, she walked to a corner of the room, wiped the dust on the wall in the corner, and then gently moved a brick in the corner.
There was a mechanism on that brick. Slowly, Granny Miao took out the whole brick, and a small hidden compartment appeared inside.
She put her hand in and took out a small black wooden box. Everyone's eyes were curiously focused on the black wooden box. Granny Miao handed the box to Xu Huaigu in a hurry, and Xu Huaigu slowly opened the lid.
As expected, a dark jade bracelet was lying quietly inside. Xu Huaigu picked up the bracelet, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
Although this jade bracelet is dark, it is very smooth and shiny. It is very comfortable to touch and gives people a warm feeling.
And black jade is indeed rare. The first time Xu Huaigu saw this black jade, he came up with the idea that this jade is not simple.
However, according to Granny Miao, this jade bracelet must be an artifact from the Immortal family, so he released a small ray of spiritual energy to go in and investigate, and soon he got the answer.
After the spiritual energy enters the jade bracelet, it is like a fish in water, lively and smooth. This jade bracelet is extremely compatible with the spiritual energy, and it is indeed of good quality.
But although Xu Huaigu used spiritual energy, he didn't know what the purpose of this jade bracelet was. However, it didn't look like a killing thing, but more like an auxiliary thing. So after thinking about it, he frowned and said: "This thing It’s not an immortal weapon, it can only be said to be a magic weapon of good quality. Granny Miao, do you really not know what the purpose of this bracelet is?” Granny Miao shook her head helplessly and said, “Indeed not. I know its purpose, but I just know it's unusual, and it's enough to suppress that small secret realm." Xu Huaigu looked at the bracelet for a long time, wondering if the function of the bracelet itself is to suppress the secret realm, right?
Otherwise, a bracelet of the highest grade of magic weapon should not be able to support a secret realm, even the smallest one.
Otherwise, wouldn't Xu Huaigu's two swords also be able to hold up the secret realm? Then the world isn't in chaos anymore?
Feeling that the bracelet was useless, Xu Huaigu was a little disappointed. After thinking about it, he handed the bracelet to Gu Sanyue and said;
"You don't have any Immortal artifacts with you yet, so I'll give this to you. I'll tell you the refining formula later." Gu Sanyue suddenly got this bracelet, and he was extremely pleasantly surprised.
This was the first treasure Xu Huaigu gave her. She immediately smiled and said happily: "Thank you, Master!" Then she quickly put the bracelet on her wrist happily. It was just right, not too big and not too small. Look. It looks very pleasant.
After taking care of the whereabouts of the bracelet, Xu Huaigu glanced around the house and felt that there was nothing to see, so he yawned boredly and said: "The matter is done and the person is rescued. I still have other things to do." If I have to do it, I won’t accompany you. There’s no such thing as a banquet in the world, so how about we just leave here?” When Cai Chun heard that Xu Huaigu was leaving, he felt anxious and quickly stepped forward and shouted to Xu Huaigu: "Immortal, please wait! The little girl was poisoned by Tao Wen. She has left her hometown and has nowhere to go. Please, Immortal, please help me to the end and take me in! I am willing to be a little maid serving tea and water!" Xu Huaigu found it funny, tilted his head, looked at her and said, "Who gave you the courage? Why do you want to follow me? Just because we have met once, and just because you have a miserable life experience, I not only have to save you, but also I have to take you with me? There are no such rules in this world!" Xu Huaigu, a book reader, said in a bad tone, which sounded more like a scolding to the ears of the group. Cai Shen suddenly turned pale with fright, and her beautiful fox face slightly Trembling, Danfeng's eyes were full of panic.
Cai Shun originally thought that with her beauty, the immortal would definitely be willing to take her in no matter what, and she would not be any worse off if she followed this promising immortal.
Unexpectedly, the beauty that she has always been proud of has no effect on Xu Huaigu. Instead, it only arouses Xu Huaigu's disgust.
Seeing this scene, Granny Miao knew that the young lady was short-sighted, so she quickly stepped forward to apologize and said: "Sword Fairy's words are harsh. Young lady has been locked up in the house for so long, so she is a little confused about the future. Sword Fairy can help us kill Tao Wen." , the two of us are already grateful, and we dare not have any other extravagant expectations. Now that Jianxian will continue on his journey, we can only wish Jianxian all the best and all his wishes come true." Xu Huaigu changed his face quickly, smiled and said: "The old man is still sensible. , I accepted the bracelet, and I will leave here now. I hope that the old man and Miss Cai can find a place to live as soon as possible." Granny Miao thanked her again and again, and bowed again. Xu Huaigu took Gu Sanyule and left the house. Xin and Yu Qingqing, husband and wife, followed Xu Huaigu and left the seaside together. The four of them had to walk for a while to the nearest town before making plans to hit the road.
Cai Shun was in the house, looking at Xu Huaigu's retreating back, feeling ashamed and unwilling, biting her lips and not saying a word.
Granny Miao glanced at Cai Shun helplessly and advised: "Miss, this Xu Jianxian is not an ordinary person. He has extremely high vision. Although the lady's appearance is stunning, her behavior cannot impress the swordsman! I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future. Now that we have met, the young lady should give up on him." Cai Shun stamped her feet angrily and said bitterly: "What's so great about him? He's just a monk, with more airs than the emperor!" This sentence frightened him. Grandma De Miao was startled, and quickly covered her mouth, and said anxiously: "Miss, I can't tell! The monk's magical power is unpredictable. If that person hears it, it will be a blessing or a curse. I can't say it will be reversed! Cai Chun frowned and couldn't even scold her. She was discouraged and said, "Mother-in-law, where do you think we will go from now on? Is there any place in the world for us?" Mother-in-law Miao said, "In my opinion, We will find a small town to settle down in Dachen Kingdom. I still have some strength and can continue to serve the young lady for several years. When the time comes, I can earn a dowry for the young lady, and the young lady can marry a good man with peace of mind, and this life will just pass by. ." Cai Chun shook her head firmly and said, "No, I don't want to live an ordinary life like this. I want to go to the capital, and I want to start a career!" Granny Miao frowned and persuaded: "Miss, our Cai family tree is falling apart. , I have no friends in the capital now. Who should I turn to when I go to the capital like this?" Cai Shun clenched her fists and said;
"Why do I have to rely on someone? Can't I just rely on myself! With my reputation, I will definitely make a name for myself in the Great Chen Kingdom. Even if it upsets the Great Chen Kingdom, it will be worse than An An. It would be ten thousand times better to die quietly!"
