After the wine and food are served, the banquet can be called a real banquet. Everyone exchanged glasses, drank wine, drank wine and drank wine, and it was very lively.
As the host, Lin Cangyang was very happy when she saw this scene. Even though she doesn't usually drink, she drank several drinks in a row.
It's just that drinking is drinking, and the business should still not be forgotten. When the banquet was coming to an end, a group of maids came out from the side door again carrying something. This time it was not wine, but the military merit book that Lu Zijin said each person had.
After everyone wrote down their names, realms, and sects they belonged to, Lu Zijin sent someone to collect them all and place them in the archives of the military camp for safekeeping.
Xu Huaigu also admired Lu Zijin's idea in his heart. A military merit book really solved a lot of problems. It not only gave this group of monks an organization, but also gave the monks a goal to pursue.
You must know that monks strive to pursue realm, don’t they just want to be superior to others? Now that the object of comparison has been changed from cultivation level to the number of monsters killed, it has to be said that this is a clever move.
Due to the large number of guests, the banquet lasted from noon to dusk before all the affairs were handed over.
After Lin Cangyang solicited everyone's opinions, he set the date for the monks to go to the battlefield in two days.
After all, things on the battlefield are urgent and it is best to go as early as possible. It's just that in this banquet, even though most people were enjoying themselves, there were still some people with sad faces, and Xu Huaigu was one of them.
Yu Qin was not far away from him, and the two of them glanced at each other several times, but there were too many people around so they couldn't recognize each other directly.
Naturally, the eye contact between Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin could not hide from Li Zi's eyes, but what made Xu Huaigu even more uncomfortable was that although Li Zi saw it, he pretended not to see it and ignored it.
If asked, Xu Huaigu had nothing to hide and naturally told him everything. But Li Zi didn't ask, and Xu Huaigu was too embarrassed to tell himself his family background, which made him feel uncomfortable for a while.
Li Zi and Yu Qin have also looked at each other several times. Li Zi has a generous temperament, so she naturally looks at the past openly. Even though Yu Qin is weaker, she does not want to suffer in this regard. What's more, with Yin Zishi supporting her, she has more confidence, so the two of them arrive It's pretty evenly divided.
I just felt sorry for Xu Huaigu. The three people kept staring at him. He was caught in the middle and knew exactly what they wanted to know.
He just hated why the banquet didn't end earlier, so that everyone could explain these things face to face, so as to avoid the trouble of making him not a human being inside and outside.
After finally enduring the banquet, Lin Cangyang announced the gathering place in two days' time, everyone dispersed, and Xu Huaigu breathed a sigh of relief.
A large number of monks behind him stood up and gradually left. Xu Huaigu also stood up and looked at Yu Qin without hesitation. Yu Qin was also looking at him, with warm eyes.
Yin Zizhi moved his eyes from Xu Huaigu to Li Zi, and saw that she was still sitting in her original position and did not get up with Xu Huaigu. Her eyes were wandering, and her brows seemed a little lonely.
Xu Huaigu walked slowly towards Yu Qin, and the two looked at each other. Yu Qin looked dazed, and her fingers were still caressing the sword at her waist unconsciously. There was light in her eyes, as if some crystal beads were about to fall.
Finally, the two people who had been separated for a long time met again. This hard-won reunion spanned the mountains, seas, rivers and lakes of two continents and took root in their hometown.
The atmosphere around him was just right, like a red carpet that had been laid out for the two of them to meet, but Xu Huaigu had only taken two steps when he was interrupted.
"Fellow Daoist Xu." A calm female voice came. Xu Huaigu looked at the person who spoke and immediately frowned.
It turned out that the woman who stopped him was Fan Xuan. When Xu Huaigu sat down, he also noticed that Fan Xuan was present from the Zixia Sect, but now Xu Huaigu no longer wanted to have any more entanglements with her, so he just pretended not to see her.
But before Xu Huaigu spoke, she called herself first. What did it mean? Didn't she go too far in what she did back then?
Originally, everyone's eyes were on Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin, but as soon as Fan Xuan spoke, everyone's attention naturally shifted to her.
Xu Huaigu stood on the spot, sneered at her, and said in a rather sinister manner: "Who can I say to represent Zixia Sect in such a front seat? It turns out to be fellow Taoist Fan. That's not surprising." Fan. Xuan's face remained unchanged and she said, "Do you still care about what happened back then?" Xu Huaigu's face was gloomy and he didn't speak.
The smoke between the two was full of smoke, as if a spark was about to explode. Yin Zizhi frowned. He knew exactly what happened back then. With Fan Xuan's unwillingness to admit defeat and Xu Huaigu's obsession, I'm afraid the two would start fighting again when they met.
He was ready to start a fight, but to Yin Zizhen's surprise, Fan Xuan's face remained as calm as water.
She took a glass of wine from the table, faced Xu Huaigu, and said word by word: "I was young and ignorant at the time, and relying on the power of the sect, I owe you an explanation. Now I understand, it was me who was wrong, this glass of wine , just think of it as my apology to you." Hearing these words coming from Fan Xuan's mouth, Xu Huaigu was also a little surprised, but he just raised his eyebrows and ignored him.
Fan Xuan raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp, then said seriously: "Xu Huaigu, I'm sorry." Xu Huaigu still sneered and said: "You have nothing to be sorry for me, what you are sorry for is Zhuang Yeyun who died at your hands! You said to her Go tell her and see if she will forgive you!" Fan Xuan lowered her head and murmured: "The deceased has passed away. I am indeed fully responsible for what happened back then. I have truly regretted it. In recent days, I have become more and more I feel uneasy about my conscience, but the big mistake I made back then has already been made, and I am deeply regretful. It is no longer possible to seek forgiveness from her. The only person in this world who can forgive me on her behalf is you." Xu Huaigu's face was cold and he said: "No one can forgive the person who killed her on behalf of a dead person." Fan Xuan just stood there with her head down, saying nothing, and seemed to have no intention of leaving.
He Renxin, who came with her and also belonged to the Zixia Sect, also looked at her in surprise. Yin Zishi saw that the situation was somewhat stalemate, and thought that it would be better to do less than to do more, so he acted as a peacemaker and sent a message to Fan Xuan via Xinhu: "Xu Huaigu is a soft-hearted person but not hard-hearted. If you bow your head and apologize to him, he will be filled with hatred." At least three points have been eliminated. It’s just that the matter of a dead person is not a trivial matter. He said that he cannot forgive you on behalf of the dead person, which is also due to moral reasons. It’s useless for you to stand here. It’s better to leave first and use practical actions to make him forgive you. These days, I'll try my best to help you with your advice." Fan Xuan's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Yin Zizhi gratefully. Without moving her mouth, she replied in her heart: "Thank you very much." Fan Xuan saluted Xu Huaigu again, and then Just leave.
Xu Huaigu glanced at Yin Zishi with unknown meaning, and Yin Zishi touched his nose angrily, pretending not to see it.
Li Zi stood up at some point. She walked to Xu Huaigu and sighed: "My master often said that it is easy to kill but hard to save. Ships and bridges were built for three to five years and were destroyed overnight. The objects are still like this, even more so. What's more, for people, there will be no more after death. Precisely because it is not easy to create life, it is even more important to cherish it." Xu Huaigu was still angry about Fan Xuan. At this time, he frowned, and Yu Qin looked at it curiously. Li Zi.
Yin Zishi smiled and said: "I just heard that the girl is from Taihua Mountain. She is really knowledgeable." Li Zi also smiled and replied: "I think this is Taoist friend Yin? I have admired the name for a long time." Yin Zishi cupped his hands and said modestly: "Girl, please don't praise me. , if my name is said to be in East Fuyao Continent, there may be one or two people who know it, but it will definitely have no reputation in China. Girl, there is no need to coax me, I am self-aware." Li Zi smiled and said: "No. No. It turns out that before I came to East Fuyao Island, someone told me that I must visit the Fuyao Sect if I had the chance. I asked about the monks in the Fuyao Sect, and that person told me the name of Taoist Fellow Yin, who I will meet today. , it can be considered a blessing." Yin Zushi just smiled, no one could tell how much he believed it in his heart.
He secretly thought that this girl was quite capable of meeting and talking to people, and he didn't know how Xu Huaigu and her met.
Before Yin Zizhen could think of how to ask, Li Zi spoke openly and clearly: "Xu Huaigu and I were childhood friends and lived together in Qingling. Later, we were fortunate enough to meet my master and then came to Taipei in Central Earth. Huashan began to practice. Now that Qingling is in trouble, I naturally rushed back from the middle of the earth. It happened that Xu Huaigu was also in Qingling, so I simply went with him and prepared to go to the battlefield to kill monsters, so that we could take care of each other." So that's it, Er. The acquaintance of people is just a coincidence.
In this way, those unnecessary misunderstandings can be easily resolved. Yu Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and Yin Zishi's face looked much better.
Xu Huaigu smiled at Yu Qin. Yu Qin blushed and lowered her head without looking at him. Her fingers casually rested on the long hair on her shoulders.
She is still the same shy person as before. Yin Zizhi put his hand on Xu Huaigu's shoulder, patted him, and pretended to blame him: "It's so far away, so it's not unlucky to die anyway. You even sent a letter here, making everyone think you were really dead. In the end, he is not dead!" As he said this, Yin Zushi smiled: "You lied to us so miserably, but I can't let you off lightly! Tell me, how many drinks can I have? Don't be stingy, if it's less than ten Dun, let alone me, even Junior Sister Yu can’t agree!” Xu Huaigu laughed quickly and said, “How can this be a lie? I really wasn’t a lie, otherwise I wouldn’t have let you be sad? At that time, I really thought I was dead. , that’s why I had no choice but to take this last resort, because I didn’t know that I was lucky enough to have great fortune, and the Lord of Hell wouldn’t accept me.”
"Tell me, why do you think you are going to die? Isn't it unlucky?" Xu Huaigu shook his head, smiled bitterly, stretched out his hands and made a sign of ten.
Yin Zushi's face suddenly changed and became serious. Yu Qin also frowned, her brows filled with worry.
Xu Huaigu made another three count. Yin Zushi's expression became more and more strange, and now even Li Zi frowned.
Even in Taihua Mountain, it would be a big deal to dispatch three tenth-level monks at once. There happened to be three tenth-level monks who wanted to hunt down Xu Huaigu. What did he do and what kind of enemies did he provoke?
Xu Huaigu smiled bitterly and said, "Now do you understand why I made a suicide note?" Yu Qin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst into tears and said with a look of grievance: "Thank you for being able to laugh, you don't know how much pain I had at that time." I'm so sad that I almost died with you." When Xu Huaigu saw Yu Qin crying, his head was as big as nine, and he was at a loss.
Yin Zushi still felt a little unbelievable and asked strangely: "Three tenth realm monks are chasing you? Didn't you break the sky in Feiyuzhou? Or did you steal the sword from Wanjian Tomb? Kidnapped the direct granddaughter of another sect? Otherwise it wouldn't be like this!" Xu Huaigu said hurriedly: "It's hard to explain in one sentence. I'll tell you in detail after we get out."
