Xu Huaigu returned to the inn and walked to the door of his room, but he heard voices coming from inside and couldn't help but wonder.
After hearing it again, it turned out to be the voices of Zhang Xiaohe and Li Zi, and he realized that during the time when he went out to buy breakfast, Zhang Xiaohe happened to have arrived in Xingqing and found the two of them.
As soon as Xu Huaigu knocked on the door, Zhang Xiaohe opened the door immediately. He smiled and said, "It's great to see that you and Li Zi are okay. I was always panicking on the way to Xingqing, for fear that something would happen to you. What happened happened, now I see you, I feel relieved. It’s just that my cultivation level was too low, I couldn’t help much before, I’m really ashamed.”
"Why are brothers talking about this? Everyone has their own responsibilities. As long as they fulfill their duties, they have a clear conscience and it has nothing to do with their cultivation." Xu Huaigu handed the bean curd to Li Zi on the bed while talking. , and asked him with a smile,
"What about you, have you had breakfast?"
"No, I didn't dare to sleep last night. Xingqing, who came all the way, just spent a lot of time at the city gate, much slower than you." Xu Huaigu hurriedly advised: "Then go out to eat quickly. Come early, be careful of getting hungry." Zhang Xiaohe said with a smile: "It's not that easy to get hungry, I'm not in a hurry, let's talk about the next plan first." Xu Huaigu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "This is a problem. Now that the Qingling Formation has been broken, the invasion of the demon clan will definitely be very fast. Are you going to leave or stay?" Li Zi took a sip of Douhua and said slowly: "I told Master before I came here that I must witness this with my own eyes. A war has started, and I have to go to the battlefield once before leaving. It’s rare that my master also promised me, so I will continue to stay. What about you, Zhang Xiaohe?" Zhang Xiaohe frowned, but said: "I... My words, it should be I won’t stay. My realm is not advanced enough, so it’s useless to stay. When I traveled to Dayu Country and Yamato Country before, I made a group of friends. Now they are all preparing to leave and go to the Middle Earth. I think I might as well join them. Forget it." Li Zi nodded, looked at Xu Huaigu, and asked solemnly: "What about you, Xu Huaigu?" Xu Huaigu said without hesitation: "I must stay, as you said, to go to the battlefield to kill monsters. Dayu will not retreat, and I will not retreat. When Dayu is destroyed, I will go north and kill as I go. In short, I will try to kill as many monsters as I can." Li Zi seemed a little surprised. , said: "I didn't expect you to hate the monster clan so much?" Xu Huaigu frowned and said: "It can't be said that it is hatred, it can only be said that it is helplessness. If every time you kill a monster, you can save one person, of course you should try your best. Kill. Speaking of which, we are all just people who are coerced by the general trend of the world. We can't help ourselves. If we don't kill, we will be killed by others. I can't see those living cities being slaughtered." Li Zi nodded in agreement: "Then we can go to the battlefield together. I heard that after seeing the battlefield, a person's character will change, which is beneficial to spiritual practice." Xu Huaigu didn't want to go to the battlefield for his own spiritual path. His purpose was very simple. He just likes humanity, so he wants to save as many people as possible.
He likes the tenderness and beauty between people. He can see the brilliance of human nature in every move, word or inadvertent movement.
Even those things that are not very good, such as intrigues and intrigues, Xu Huaigu also likes them from another angle. He can see the sadness of human nature, which is also part of human nature.
It seems that among all things, only human beings are favored by God. They are happy, angry, sad and colorful. Every living person is a unique creation, and he wants to protect this creation.
From East Fuyao Island to Feiyu Island, he has met countless people. Good guys, bad guys, immortals and mortals, Xu Huaigu often thinks of them.
How are they doing now? Does the mute child on Fengtou Mountain still have enough to eat all day long?
Where is Chu Xiuyang in the world now? Did she join the army as she wished and go to the battlefield where the body was wrapped in horse leather and nowhere to be found?
Did He Qiaoer and her new husband who got married half a month ago see the small bead she gave them, and did they cherish their blessing?
There are too many things like this to count, but Xu Huaigu has an account in his heart and remembers them quite clearly.
He likes human nature, so he cherishes the fate between people, so he doesn't want to see people die, so he wants to go to the battlefield, which is very reasonable.
It was also when he helped Yang Yun that day that he realized that it was impossible to be alone in the face of the general trend of the world. Now that he was in it, this was his war. This was different from the fact that he only wanted to protect the people around him in the past. ideas are contradictory.
After seeing all kinds of things, people's temperament will always change. Maybe this is the reason why he and Bai Xiaoyu had a quarrel.
Bai Xiaoyu is a typical solitary person, but in an unknown temple in another continent, he saw what it means to save the world even though he could stay out of it, and what it means to be unswervingly determined to save all sentient beings. The two ideas collided, and Xu Huaigu chose at this moment The latter.
Maybe one day in the future, his mind will change, but now he wants to follow his heart, so let's go to the battlefield.
"Xu Huaigu, Xu Huaigu, what are you thinking about?" Li Zi's curious voice came, and Xu Huaigu was pulled out of his thoughts.
Xu Huaigu hurriedly explained: "It's nothing, I just unconsciously thought of the past." Zhang Xiaohe said with some worry: "We met not long ago, and I saw you being in a trance several times while talking. . Every time you say you are thinking about the past, how many things have you hidden in your heart?" Li Zi also echoed: "It is not good to hide too many things on your mind. I heard Master say that too many things are in your heart. The road will be narrow." Xu Huaigu smiled, thinking that he had much more experience than the two of them.
Even if I were to trade a real state for these experiences, he still wouldn't want to, so why not go narrow?
Xu Huaigu thought so, but he still comforted them and said: "How can it be so serious? It's just that when I talk about some things, I can't help but think of similar experiences in the past. They are just small things. Don't worry about me so much. . By the way, since Zhang Xiaohe is leaving, why don’t we go have a meal together tonight? There are quite a few high-end restaurants in Xingqing City, and there are many in the north of the city. The food and wine are excellent. I haven’t eaten there in a long time. I'm all greedy." Li Zi and Zhang Xiaohe naturally agreed. Xu Huaigu was still thinking about the Pingcui he saw this morning, and couldn't help but think of the happy and unrestrained time in the restaurant with Huang Shan, Yu Qin, Zuo Qiuxun, and Pingcui. The day has come.
The little girl also loved eating delicious food. Xu Huaigu watched helplessly as her little face changed from a melon-seed face to a chubby round face. Fortunately, she has lost weight now, otherwise her appearance would not be so outstanding. .
After not seeing her for a long time, Xu Huaigu also wanted to have another meal with her. He was hesitant whether to call Pingcui over to join her.
But in the blink of an eye, he thought that neither Li Zi nor Zhang Xiaohe knew her, and it would be a bit embarrassing to ask her to come, so they gave up.
When Xu Huaigu thought about these things, his mind became immersed again. Li Zi and Zhang Xiaohe both saw it, and they looked at each other without disturbing Xu Huaigu.
Li Zi was just curious. He was clearly in high spirits now, but he seemed to be willing to live in the past. What had he experienced in these years?
...Autumn is ushering in the mountains of Hangxun Mountain on the northern border of Dayu Kingdom. However, even in the north of Dayu Country, East Fuyao Continent is still relatively south. Most of the trees do not lose their leaves. In addition to the cooler weather, the mountains are still lush and lush.
There is a small village located next to a valley in the mountains, with simple huts all surrounded by newly cultivated rice fields.
The people in this village are hardworking and kind-hearted. Men farm and women weave. They hear chickens and dogs. They are doing everything they can to improve their lives.
This village in Hangxun Mountain was reorganized by people who escaped from the Hangxun Secret Realm. Eight years have passed since Xu Huaigu and his party first visited the Hangxun Secret Realm. The village has gradually gone from nothing to self-sufficiency. Now they Live a life like a paradise.
Except for the crisis when Chen Jingshan visited, everything was peaceful. Two distant visitors came to the village today, which is a very strange thing.
After all, very few people visit such a remote and secretive village, which is not recorded in the household records of Dayu Country. Even if someone gets lost by chance and comes, most likely they will not be welcomed, but the two people who came today are an exception. , they can be regarded as the benefactors of the village.
Zhuocai held a banquet for the two of them, and every household came to welcome them. Some brought wine, some brought chickens and ducks, and they all contributed to the village banquet.
Although Huang Shan and Yi Yun refused hard, Zhuo Cai refused to listen to them. According to her, the village's current appearance was thanks to the four of them back then. Wouldn't it be ungrateful if they didn't hold this banquet?
It turns out that the two people who came to the village were Huang Shan and Yi Yun, who went to Middle-earth to find a way to nourish their souls.
The two of them have been traveling in the Middle-earth for many years, and in recent days they have gradually heard some rumors about East Fuyao Continent. Thinking of Yiyun's old father who is still in Xingqing City, the two of them plan to come back as soon as possible.
It is said that the way to nourish the soul is indeed extremely difficult to find. After many years, I have not found it. In the end, I had to spend almost a bankrupt price to buy a medicine in Luoyun City, the largest gathering place for immortal merchants in Middle-earth. This That's good.
However, the two of them stayed in China for a long time. They earned enough travel expenses to return to East Fuyao Island, which was quite embarrassing.
Time is not forgiving, Huang Shan is now in his thirties, and his cultivation is fortunate enough to break through another realm in Middle-earth. Now he is in the fifth realm, and he can become an elder in some small sects.
Yiyun is now in her twenties, and she no longer looks like the boudoir lady she once was. There is a lot of weather and stability in her features.
She has no talent for cultivation and is still a mortal. The two kept each other company all the way and supported each other. Although some things were not said out loud, they both recognized that they could not live without each other, not to mention Huang Shanshan was very kind to her.
When they return to East Fuyao Continent this time, their first priority is to cure Yiyun's father's illness, and then take him away from Xingqing. Depending on the situation, whether to go to the north of East Fuyao Continent or to the middle earth.
In fact, both Huang Shan and Yi Yun also miss their old friends who accompanied them day and night - Xu Huaigu, Zuo Qiuxun and Yu Qin.
Zuo Qiuxun is very capable, but Huang Shan is not worried. He is worried about Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin, these two ignorant young people. Do they know what is about to happen in East Fuyao Island?
Don't you know you have to run away quickly? Naturally, his worries were completely wrong, but that's not his fault. After all, Middle-earth is so far away, and based on his level, what he can know is very limited. Regarding the subsequent fate of Xu Huaigu and Zuo Qiuxun, it is really His eyes darkened.
I wonder how surprised he would be when he went to Xingqing, met Xu Huaigu, and learned what happened to them later.
After having a banquet in the village of Hangxun Mountain, the two rode horses day and night to Xingqing.
All the old people who have a connection with Xingqing City are entering the city one after another. Let’s see what kind of trouble Xingqing will cause after everyone arrives.
