Chenjiang Town is just an extremely ordinary town. After arriving in the town, the group of four stayed there for about three or four days. After eating local food and wine, they were ready to go their separate ways.
Dai Xin and Yu Qingqing are going to a place called Linling Mountain in the north, where the environment is good. They want to find a quiet town to settle down, while Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyule have to continue on the road to Xinyu Sect. They said goodbye by a river in the town.
This river is Chenjiang, and Chenjiang Town got its name from this. It was early autumn, and the weather was getting colder. Xu Huaigu was still wearing the same black robe. After Gu Sanyue became a martial artist, his energy and blood were strong and he couldn't feel the cold at all. He wore the same clothes as in summer, but Yu Qingqing Wearing a dark green short coat and a black veil, she looked very graceful.
There was a lot of wind on the riverside, blowing her long hair flying. The willow branches are swaying in the wind, and the sound of the shepherd's flute can be heard in the distance, leisurely and tranquil.
A small boat was parked on the shore, swaying in the wind. Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyue stood on the boat, and Yu Qingqing stood on the shore, looking at the two people on the boat. Dai Xin held a bamboo hat in his hand and stood beside her.
Dai Xin and Yu Qingqing had to walk to the mountains in the north, while Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyue walked by water. They had to change their itineraries several times before they could get to Xinyu Sect.
Xin Yuzong is still very far away. In addition to taking a boat, we also need to travel and ride horses. Xu Huaigu has already bought a map. From the above, it seems that even if we go at full speed, it will take more than a year. .
Therefore, he felt relieved and planned to stop rushing on the road. He could see more scenery and experience the scenery of Feiyuzhou, which would be good.
The four of them were saying goodbye by the river, and the wind in the river happened to be strong. Xu Huaigu's sleeves were blown by the wind, and he said with a smile;
"Meeting is a fate, and parting is far from the end. We will definitely see each other again in the future." Dai Xin handed over his hands, bowed to Xu Huaigu, and said respectfully: "Xu Jianxian's life-saving grace, my husband and I will not count." Living in seclusion is not unforgettable. If the Sword Immortal needs us for anything in the future, just come to Linling Mountain in the north to find us, and my husband and I will do our best to help." Xu Huaigu waved his hands and said with a smile: "You are too polite, if it is true Thank me and live your life well. You can argue if you need to, but just don't be disappointed in the other person. People like you are rare in the world. I can see you once, but maybe I won't see you again in the future. I will definitely come see you when I pass by here another day." Yu Qingqing and Dai Xin both laughed happily, looking at Xu Huaigu with eyes full of happiness.
A few drops of rain seemed to fall from the sky with the wind, and it hit Xu Huaigu's forehead with ice coldness.
Xu Huaigu glanced at the sky and saw dark clouds slowly swimming over in the distance, so he said: "What a coincidence, it's going to rain now, God is urging us to leave. It's time, we Jianghu people Don't talk about the tears staining your clothes, and just leave more easily, okay?" Yu Qingqing said with a smile on her face: "Just follow what the sword fairy said, don't talk about the love between children, when we meet again in the future, I'll make another pot of wine for the Sword Immortal and tell the stories about the Sword Immortal I saw on the road." Xu Huaigu said with a hearty smile: "Then it's settled, I drink a lot, don't regret it then." Yu Qingqing looked at Xu Huaigu with pulsing eyes. Before he could speak, Xu Huaigu said first, "Okay, if we continue talking like this, our trip will be delayed again. I won't stay any longer. You two, please take care of yourself." , See you again in the future." Dai Xin and Yu Qingqing lowered their heads, bowed, and said in unison: "Take care, Sword Immortal." Xu Huaigu smiled with satisfaction, rolled his sleeves and turned his head, no longer looking at the shore, but at Jiang's side In the distance, he said: "Yue Sanyue, let's go!" Gu Sanyue held an oar in his hand, waved to the two people on the shore, and shouted: "I'm leaving, please take care!" Yu Qingqing smiled, He said, "Miss Gu, please take care." So Gu Sanyue sat down with a smile, put the oar into the water, and paddled slowly.
The water rippled round and round, and the boat gradually sailed away in the gentle river.
Until the sunset appeared on the horizon, Dai Xin and Yu Qingqing still stood on the shore, silently watching the small boat turn into the size of a walnut, then turn into a black dot, and finally disappear.
After a long while, Yu Qingqing said with emotion: "This Sword Immortal is really a wonderful person!" Dai Xin also smiled and said: "No, I think so too." Yu Qingqing turned around and patted his shoulder, feeling impressed. Sighing: "It's getting late, we should leave." Dai Xin nodded, so the couple, who had been traveling for more than ten years, carried two small bags on their backs and walked slowly towards the place where they would live for the rest of their lives. The place has gone.
Their shadows were stretched under the setting sun, and finally disappeared into the red glow on the horizon, and then the sun also set.
... As spring passes and autumn comes, a year flies by in a blink of an eye. It was the autumn of another year, and Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyue spent a whole year on their way to Xinyu Sect.
In this year, they traveled to more than a dozen countries in Feiyuzhou, saw hundreds of mountains, large and small, crossed dozens of long and short rivers, and met countless good and evil people. Slowly, they were getting closer to that final destination.
The year was not wasted. Gu Sanyue practiced boxing diligently, and she had already finished the one million punches one by one. This also ended the promise she made with Xu Huaigu.
After practicing the one million punches, Xu Huaigu bought her a long knife of the highest grade of magic weapon in the monk market and kept it with her for use.
Although a high-quality magic weapon costs two colorful beads and only an average five-level monk can get one, he is his disciple after all, so he must not be stingy with the gifts.
So Gu Sanyue took care of traveling and practicing boxing at the same time. At this time, he broke through the first level in a year and became a second level martial artist.
Moreover, her realm is very solid, so she has a good foundation as a martial artist. The second realm can match the combat power of the third realm, and she has been influenced by Xu Huaigu's side. Her whole spiritual temperament is not like those wild cultivators who kill and swindle, but has a sense of justice. It's perfect, but more like an immortal than an immortal monk.
Xu Huaigu has not fallen behind in his cultivation this year. However, because of the difficult problems and inner demons that are difficult to get rid of, his cultivation is still firmly at the peak of the Sixth Realm. The Seventh Realm, which seems to be within easy reach, has never come.
There's no point in being anxious, just don't be anxious. Your own will always come, there is no doubt about it. Xu Huaigu thought this while lying in the woods by a river, looking at the stars in the sky.
Gu Sanyue carried a pile of firewood out of the forest, sat next to Xu Huaigu, and threw the firewood into the fire in front of him.
The dry firewood crackled, and the fire grew stronger and stronger, illuminating the red faces of the two people. When Gu Sanyue saw Xu Huaigu in a daze, he supported his head with his arms, blinked his eyes, and asked curiously: "Master, what are you thinking about?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and said calmly: "Nothing." Gu Sanyue He turned his face back and curled his lips.
Although the two have been getting along day and night for a year and can be considered the most familiar people with each other, Xu Huaigu is still exactly the same as before. He is preoccupied all day long and will never say a word to Gu Sanyue.
Even Gu Sanyue only knew that Xu Huaigu was going to Xinyu Sect to do something, but he didn't know what exactly he was going to Xinyu Sect to do or what to do.
Xu Huaigu had such a personality, and it was a blessing that Gu Sanyue was by his side. Otherwise, if he had been allowed to walk on this road alone, he might not even be able to speak after two years without opening his mouth.
Gu Sanyule secretly complained in his heart that his master was boring, so he rested his head on his head and looked at the blazing bonfire in front of him.
The fire seemed to have magic power. Gu Sanyue could watch it for several hours. This was very similar to Xu Huaigu, who also loved watching fire.
But tonight, Xu Huaigu lost his thoughts and suddenly said to her: "Yue Sanyue, show me how your sword skills are going." Gu Sanyue hesitated for a moment, responded, stood up, and held Holding the handle of the knife, he pulled the knife out of its sheath with a rustling sound. Suddenly, the blade of the knife was filled with cold light and the wind was blowing.
She stood alone under the moon, the knife in her hand popped out quickly like a snake, and her steps were as fast as a leopard, dancing in the forest and grass.
Xu Huaigu closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the knife cutting through the wind. It was smooth and natural, as if he was one with the sound of the wind. This knife technique was wonderful, so he smiled with satisfaction.
He slowly said: "Since ancient times, swordsmen have been of the same family, but swords focus on martial arts, while swords are more powerful. You have practiced this swordsmanship very well." It is not common for Xu Huaigu to test her like this, so Gu San Yue was still a little nervous before, but now that Xu Huaigu confirmed it, she suddenly felt at ease. The sword was even more unfettered and danced so beautifully that it was airtight.
Gradually while reading, not only Xu Huaigu, but also Gu Sanyue himself was immersed in the sword skills. It seemed that he had forgotten everything in the world, and the only thing in his heart was the sword in front of him.
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods over there, which seemed to be mixed with a few hurried footsteps.
Xu Huaigu noticed it earlier than Gu Sanyuegu. He suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Stop, someone is coming." Gu Sanyuegu was dancing vigorously and was sweating profusely, but when he heard Xu Huaigu say that someone was coming, he had no choice but to stop. The knife looked slightly displeased at the side Xu Huaigu's eyes were pointing at.
I saw a figure running at full speed in the woods, looking behind him in panic from time to time, as if he was being chased by something.
They hadn't seen a living person in this wilderness for several days. When Gu Sanyue saw that there was something to do over there, he immediately became interested. He put away his knife and said, "Master, I'm afraid there is a wild beast chasing me." Let me go and see that person?" Xu Huaigu knew that Gu Sanyue liked the excitement and did not stop her. He was too lazy to care whether the person was a beast or an enemy. Anyway, just let Gu Sanyue go. She had The strength of self-preservation.
Gu Sanyue got Xu Huaigu's tacit approval, and he was very happy, and he immediately started chasing in that direction. But I saw that the man seemed to have seen the fire in the forest, as if he had seen hope, and ran over here like crazy.
The running person is a little girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a head of hair. When she ran over a little further, Gu Sanyue could see a few dark figures following her from the corner of his eye. They were several people walking through the woods. They were fast and no slower than the girl. And he seemed to be doing it with ease, as if he was waiting for the person in front to run out of energy before catching up.
She saw Gu Sanyue, and regardless of who Gu Sanyue was, she hurriedly ran to Gu Sanyue, panting, and begged: "Sister, help! Someone is trying to kill me!" Gu Sanyue looked at the person behind her with sharp eyes. Several dark figures said to her: "Come here first and explain the matter clearly." The girl survived the desperate situation and hurriedly ran behind Gu Sanyue. Exhausted, she suddenly lost all strength in her feet and collapsed. On the ground.
Gu Sanyue took out his sword to protect her, and the men in black also caught up. They didn't know Gu Sanyue's details and didn't dare to step forward rashly, so they confronted Gu Sanyue.
But there is no doubt that there is a murderous intent as cold as iron in their eyes.
