Chu Xiuyang began to write a letter. Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin looked at each other, decided not to disturb them, and walked out of the camp together.
The sky is as cold as water at night, and I sit and watch Altair and Vega. It's cloudless tonight and the stars are shining brightly. The stars in the sky seem to be splashing down to the world along with the Milky Way. It's a peaceful and peaceful scene.
Today, the blood of war is still full during the day, but there is such a huge contrast at night, which can't help but make people feel more emotional.
Both of them were attracted by the scenery, and their pace slowed down in unison, and they took a leisurely walk.
Since we just happened to talk about Chu Xiuyang's brother, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but think of his parents.
At that time, he entrusted Yu Qin in his will to take Xu Huaigu's parents out of Jiangyuan to a place where the war could not reach him. Now, only Yu Qin knows the whereabouts of his parents.
Xu Huaigu looked up at Mantian Xingzi and asked her: "I saw it with my own eyes back then. Chu Xiuyang's brother Chu Wenze loved her very much and didn't want her to be harmed in the slightest. This shows that the family affection that blood is thicker than water is still valuable. Speaking of which, where did you take my parents?" Yu Qin said in a calm tone, soothing him: "Don't worry, since you and I have become Taoist couples and I have lost my parents, I will naturally treat your parents the same way. My own. When you wrote to me at the beginning of this year, although I was sad, I had to fulfill the tasks you assigned me seriously. Now they both live in a small town at the foot of Fuyao Zong Mountain, and I also give them They have enough money left and they are living well. When you are ready to see them, we will go to Fuyao Sect together and I will take you to see them." Xu Huaigu looked directly at Yu Qin and said seriously: "Thank you very much. I'm afraid this matter has taken a lot of effort from you." Yu Qin smiled slightly and said: "What does it matter? I have already said that your parents are my parents, and you still say these things, it seems like I am an outsider." Xu Huaigu asked again: "Then did you tell my parents about my death?" Yu Qin frowned, hesitated for a moment, and still nodded: "I told you, after all, they have the right to know about such a big matter. .”
"How are they?" Xu Huaigu sounded anxious,
"What did they say?" Yu Qin slowly stopped and turned to look at Xu Huaigu, with envy and a little loneliness in his eyes.
She said softly: "What else can I say? Of course, I am almost heartbroken. Your father seems to be doing better, but he just keeps blaming himself and scolding himself for useless things. Your mother becomes even more outrageous and cries continuously. For several days, it felt like my tears were about to dry up. I stayed with them day and night for those few days, for fear that if someone didn't pay attention, your mother would have some short-sighted ideas. After all, they only have one child, you can speak well. How sad are they? I kept persuading them for a long time, and they gradually got better." Yu Qin sighed in despair, her eyes moistened, and said: "I have pity on the hearts of parents in the world, knowing that their children are dead, The crying was so heartbreaking. They also asked me where your bones were and wanted to find a good burial place for you. I didn’t even know how to tell them that you died in a foreign country and at the hands of monks. There are probably no bones left." After hearing this, Xu Huaigu felt mixed emotions in his heart, which was very unpleasant.
The son never fulfilled his filial duty for a day, and he only made them worried. Xu Huaigu believed that he was worthy of the justice of heaven and earth, but he was really ashamed of his parents.
Yu Qin continued: "But later you wrote a letter and explained the reason. I was happy to know that you were okay, so I immediately ran to tell your parents. They quickly said that they would go south to see you, and I persuaded you to stop them. They. Your parents are almost fifty after all. How can they survive the thousands of miles from Fuyao Sect to Xingqing? I only said that I would visit you on their behalf, and promised that I would definitely take them. You brought them safely to Dayu Country." Xu Huaigu faced her face to face, held her hand, stroked it gently, and said softly: "Thank you." It was rare for Xu Huaigu to speak so softly, and Yu Qin smiled slightly He blushed and smiled shyly: "Speaking of which, it's not all a bad thing that you faked your death. At least I got to know your parents well, and they all recognized me. Later, when I was about to leave for the south, they said I would wait. When we go back, we must marry me in a glorious way." Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "Yin Zushi also said that when we return to Fuyao Sect, Senior Deng will personally witness our marriage to us. Isn't this glorious enough? "Yu Qin lowered his head and said with a silly smile: "According to the temper of the elder, he said that he is the witness of the marriage, but he doesn't know how to tease us! In my opinion, it is better for your parents to be safe and ask them."
"What's the point? Senior Deng always has good intentions. Teasing is just teasing, and he will never harm us. I don't think it would be better if everyone has seen it together and done it in a lively manner!"
"Tch, that's too far." When Yu Qin thought of the scene at that time, she felt both expectant and shy, and her ears turned red.
"It's better to live a good life now. We are still fighting against the demon clan. No matter what, we must first fulfill our responsibilities on the border before making plans."
"What you are saying is that the war must be our priority now." While the two were talking, they had already reached the wall behind Tanglin Pass.
It is closely connected to the nearby mountains, so there is a dense forest with a trail running through it. It is deep and far away, and it looks dark and scary at night.
Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin were both monks, so naturally they were not afraid of any ghosts and gods, so they continued walking inside without stopping.
What the two of them need is this quiet time alone. If no one disturbs them, they will be happy to stay here even for one night.
Xu Huaigu smiled and said: "If this happened before, you would definitely not dare to enter such a forest at night, right? After all, your practice is still good, and your courage has become stronger." Yu Qin glanced at him sideways, turned around and smiled: "I look down on you. Who is it? When I was still living in Huangqi Mountain, the woods were deeper than this, and I went in at night. I still remember one time, my father went hunting in the mountains and did not return home on time. I was worried that something had happened to him, so I mentioned He took the knife and went into the woods. Guess what happened next..."
"Shh..." Xu Huaigu suddenly put his finger to Yu Qin's mouth, stopping what she was going to say next.
Yu Qin looked at him with confusion on his face, while Xu Huaigu looked into the depths of the woods without blinking, pointed in that direction, and said, "There is movement there." Yu Qin's body suddenly trembled, and she also looked towards that direction. On the other side, I could only see dense woods, and the rest was completely dark.
Yu Qin was a little scared in her heart. She held her hands tighter, lowered her voice, and asked cautiously: "Really? It can't be a ghost, right?" Xu Huaigu laughed softly: "Ghost? Ghosts are nothing to be afraid of. If they are individuals, , that’s interesting. Come on, let’s go take a look.” After that, he pulled Yu Qin forward.
Yu Qin thought that it would be better to do less than to do more, and wanted to persuade him not to go, but Xu Huaigu was curious and could not help her persuasion.
Yu Qin had no choice but to follow Xu Huaigu's footsteps and go deeper into the woods. Not far away, Xu Huaigu waved his hand for her to stop.
The two of them carefully hid behind a big tree, and they saw a person standing not far away in the open space in front of them. Judging from her figure, she looked like a young woman.
She vaguely held something that looked like a small flying sword in her hand. She lowered her head and whispered something to the flying sword, then let go of her hand, and the thing flew into the sky quietly.
He left Tanglin Pass with a "whoosh" sound. Yu Qin didn't dare to make a sound, so she sent a message from Xinhu Lake to Xu Huaigu: "It seems to be a message flying sword?" Xu Huaigu nodded and frowned.
He subconsciously thought of the worst outcome. This person was most likely a spy who was passing on intelligence inside the customs.
If you put it this way, the two of them happened to stumble upon something big when they went out for a walk at night.
Moreover, this person can use the messenger flying sword, so he must be a monk, so the nature is even more serious.
"What did she just say to Feijian?"
"It's too far, I didn't hear clearly." Xu Huaigu was full of doubts and secretly determined to know the identity of this person.
After the woman sent the messenger flying sword, she stood on the spot and looked up at the bright moon in the sky through the gaps between the trees.
She looked at it for a while, then looked away, turned her head and walked back slowly. As soon as she turned her head, Xu Huaigu saw her face in the dark night.
It was someone they knew well, Fan Xuan from the Zixia Sect. What is she doing here alone? What did she say to the flying sword that conveyed the message just now?
Xu Huaigu wanted to rush to her and ask her questions immediately, but it was obviously irrational. He could only suppress his temper and prepare to follow her quietly.
Suddenly, a wild cat jumped out of nowhere and ran past Yu Qin's feet. Yu Qin was already very nervous, but when she was frightened by the wild cat, she couldn't hold back and screamed out.
Although the voice was not loud, Fan Xuan was still a six-level monk, so she could hear it clearly.
"Who! Who is there!" Fan Xuan heard the cry in the woods, her brows tightened, and she quickly asked loudly.
When the two of them didn't respond, Fan Xuan frowned and walked towards the source of the sound step by step, aggressively.
Yu Qin glanced at Xu Huaigu guiltily. Seeing Fan Xuan approaching step by step, Xu Huaigu thought he couldn't hide anymore, so he simply ducked out from behind the tree, frowned and looked at her, and asked preemptively: "I still want to ask you! You're here in the middle of the night, What's the purpose of hiding in the woods and sending flying swords to pass the pass!" Fan Xuan originally thought it was some soldier, but when she saw it was Xu Huaigu, she suddenly looked shocked, and her aggressive aura also subsided.
Yu Qin also ran out from behind the tree, took Xu Huaigu's hand, stood beside him, and looked at Fan Xuan with a frown.
Fan Xuan looked at Yu Qin, then looked at Xu Huaigu, and said in surprise: "Xu Huaigu, Yu Qin... why are you here?" Xu Huaigu's face was serious and he said coldly: "We are out for a walk, but you, you are the only one What are people doing in such a secluded forest?" Facing Xu Huaigu's question, Fan Xuan obviously lacked confidence and hurriedly replied: "Me? I'm here to admire the moon."
"Then why did you send the messenger flying sword before? Do you know that this is a battlefield, and it is very suspicious for you to do this!" Fan Xuan suddenly understood why Xu Huaigu's tone was so cold. It turned out that he was treating her as a trick!
Fan Xuan was anxious and hurriedly explained: "No! I sent the flying sword to Zixia Sect. My master asked me to contact her from time to time to make sure she is safe! If you don't believe it, you can go to Zixia Sect and ask Ask!" Xu Huaigu sneered and said: "Your master is the most protective of shortcomings. No matter what you do, she will definitely favor you. I will ask her, what can I ask?" Fan Xuan's heart suddenly fell to the bottom. , this is really impossible to wash away even if you jump into the Yellow River.
She had no choice but to explain: "That's not the case! I'm really just reporting that my master is safe! After all, I am also a member of the Zixia Sect, and I have killed many demon clans these days. How can I be a careful person? Is this right? It’s no good for me either!”
"Huh...the benefits?" Xu Huaigu sneered,
"Don't we all know the benefits of working for the demon clan?" Fan Xuan looked increasingly anxious. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.
The more this happened, the more suspicious Xu Huaigu became. Yu Qin patted Xu Huaigu's hand, looked at him and said, "Maybe it's not as bad as you think. If you want to report that you're safe, that's okay." Xu Huaigu's expression was solemn, and he raised his head and glanced far away in the direction where the messenger flying sword left. He said coldly: "Fan Xuan, I will keep an eye on you carefully. If I find you doing anything suspicious again, or if I find out that you have colluded with the demon clan, let's see how you and your sect will respond. Everyone in the world will tell you!" After saying that, Xu Huaigu turned around and walked away quickly. Yu Qin glanced meaningfully at Fan Xuan and also chased after him, and the two walked back to the pass side by side.
Fan Xuan's face was ashen and she stood there like a piece of wood. She didn't move for a long time, letting the darkness of the forest swallow her.
