The place with stars and lights hidden in the mountains and forests is the destination of the cavalry. This is an ancient military town built on the mountain. It occupies a natural barrier and strangles the throat of the north. This town is called Wuliang.
Perhaps Xu Huaigu himself had forgotten it. Although he had never been to Wuliang Town, he actually had a fate with this town a long time ago.
Of all things in the world, fate and luck are the most mysterious and unspeakable things, but sometimes they are extremely accurate.
This place is mysterious and no one can explain it clearly. When Xu Huai Gushang was still a child, he followed Sun Xiang out of Qingling and met a down-and-out scholar named Wang Haocheng who came to Beijing to take the exam. His hometown was here.
It has been more than ten years now, and Xu Huaigu has traveled to so many places. This small town of Wuliang may have been lost in his memory.
Today's Wuliang Town has no population for a long time, and all troops are stationed here. Everyone knew that there was going to be a war in the south, so they fled north.
Those who could walk left, and those who couldn't walked also left in horse-drawn and ox-carts. Naturally, the scholar named Wang Haocheng was no longer there, and his whereabouts were unknown.
If we are destined to meet in the future, we will naturally meet each other, but more often than not, if we say goodbye today, we will say goodbye forever. Wuliang Town is heavily guarded day and night, and it is the most tightly guarded today because all the soldiers who escaped from Tanglin Pass in the south came to Wuliang.
The general who was stationed here was worried that the demon clan would chase after him, so he did not dare to slack off and sent more people on patrol overnight.
Another reason is that Lu Zijin, the general of the left side of Dayu's border army, also came to Wuliang today. Naturally, the general had to act more responsible to show him.
However, even though he sent many soldiers to patrol the city wall, he still did not find a woman entering Wuliang Town silently.
The woman walked straight into the center of the military camp, passing through the soldiers coming and going, but was not noticed by anyone.
There was a two-story building there, and Lu Zijin was in it. The woman stepped forward slowly and unhurriedly, opened the door, and then walked in with a swagger. The soldiers guarding on both sides did not look away, as if they had not seen anything.
After entering, she went directly to the second floor, opened one of the doors, and walked in. Lu Zijin was reading the military files of Wuliang Town inside. He frowned slightly, tapped the table with his index finger, and lowered his head in thought.
This has been his habit for many years. At this time the door
It opened with a "squeak" sound. Lu Zijin hurriedly raised his head to look. When he saw this woman coming in, he was startled. He quickly put down the book, stood up and gave it to him, saying: "Senior, I didn't notice the visit. I'm wrong." Yuan Ying, please forgive me." Wei Caiyi's face didn't look good, he found a chair and sat down casually, and said: "I deliberately suppressed my breath, how could you notice it? Okay, there is no need for extra courtesy. I know you are waiting for someone here, and I am waiting for someone too. You continue to read your book, I won't disturb you." Seeing Wei Caiyi's displeased tone, Lu Zijin knew that something must have happened in the south, and he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. .
He lowered his head and frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "What's going on in the south? Why can't even seniors take action to solve it?" Wei Caiyi sneered: "If it's a demon clan, it would be easy to solve. But it happens to be something within ourselves. How do you want me to solve the problem?" Lu Zijin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is it?" Wei Caiyi replied coldly, "That's the person you are waiting for." Lu Zijin lowered his head and thought for a moment, but then Question: "Isn't it him that senior is waiting for?"
"Originally, I had to wait for him, but now, I don't have to wait anymore." Wei Caiyi exhaled a breath, closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair,
"I'm waiting for Li Zi. Someone asked me to take her back to China." Lu Zijin nodded, feeling a little confused. He sat back down and continued to read the book that recorded military affairs.
The candlelight flickered, and he couldn't see it. What on earth did Xu Huaigu do to make Wei Caiyi so unhappy?
Lu Zijin raised his head slightly and glanced at Wei Caiyi. He saw that she was sitting with her eyes closed. She seemed to have no intention of speaking, so he had to give up what he wanted to ask.
The two of them just sat quietly in the room, and the night passed quietly. It was not until nearly dawn that the cavalry finally arrived at Wuliang Town.
General Qin from Wuliang Town personally led the team to open the door to greet Chu Xiuyang and a group of monks when they entered Wuliang. Someone immediately took them to the accommodation that had been arranged to rest.
All the monks could rest, but not Chu Xiuyang. As soon as she arrived in Wuliang, someone spread the news that Lu Zijin wanted to see her.
Chu Xiuyang was a little surprised when she heard this. After all, she didn't know that Lu Zijin had arrived in Wuliang. Logically speaking, he should be in a safer camp further back.
Chu Xiuyang was taken to see Lu Zijin. Before leaving, he took Fan Xuan to a quiet place to rest and recuperate.
The rest rested in the tent, and Xu Huaigu and other monks who knew each other naturally gathered together and sat and chatted.
Li Siqing got a few bottles of wine from somewhere, and it was a good time. He volunteered to get up and serve wine to everyone, and said with a smile: "Having said this, what are everyone's plans? The seventh level is gone, and we have completed the tasks entrusted to us by Her Highness the Princess with due diligence. Should you go back to each sect now, or continue to stay at the border?" Xu Huaigu smiled, took a sip of wine, and looked at everyone's reactions.
When I was at Tanglin Pass, alcohol was prohibited in the army, and it seemed that I hadn't had a drink for a long time. Now I felt the drink was sweeter, maybe it was because of the people around me.
Yin Zizhen didn't drink much, so he just took a sip and said first, "I should go back to the sect. When I first came here, it was only Elder Deng who asked me to bring a message to Xu Huaigu, so I came to the south. Otherwise, the sect would The deacon will definitely not let anyone go. On the way here, I received an invitation from the princess, and then I went to the battlefield to have fun. Speaking of which, this matter was hidden from the sect. Yes. If the deacons of the sect find out, there is no telling what kind of punishment they will be punished. The time spent in the south is not short, and we have to go back anyway." After hearing this, everyone nodded.
After Yin Zizhi said this, he looked at Yu Qin and said, "You can go back with me too. We came together. If I don't take you back together, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain." When Yu Qin heard that he wanted to go back, His face suddenly turned bitter.
She looked at Xu Huaigu with some embarrassment, then glanced at Yin Zushi, and whispered: "But I don't want to go back yet." Yin Zushi shook his head and smiled: "Why don't you want to go back? I think you just don't want to leave Xu Huaigu. In my opinion, Xu Huaigu’s time wandering around the world is not too short. Otherwise, you can come back to Fuyao Sect with me. In this way, you don’t have to separate, and Xu Huaigu can go see the great elder as soon as possible and settle the matter. "Xu Huaigu, you must not forget what you promised me back then." Xu Huaigu nodded solemnly and said, "Of course I will not forget it." After a few words, Li Siqing had already drank several bowls of sea food. At this time, a touch of red clouds flew over his face, and he was slightly drunk.
He smacked his mouth, tilted his body and said with a smile: "What's so shameful and mysterious? Say it and let us all listen!" An Xiaoyu was sitting upright in the dining room and only took a few sips. Jiu, when he heard Li Siqing say such words, he quickly frowned and hurriedly poked him twice with his elbow to signal him to stop talking nonsense.
Everyone has their own secrets, especially monks. The so-called practice is very secretive to begin with. Moreover, Xu Huaigu and Yin Zishi are both people with high backgrounds, and they have many secrets that cannot be known to the public.
Asking the secrets of monks has always been a taboo in the monk world. Now Li Siqing took a few sips of wine and forgot all about it. If he said such casual words, it would be a big deal if he offended the two of them. Those who turn their backs on others.
Friendship is not easy to accumulate, but it may only take one or two words to destroy it. Li Siqing was always an upright person. After staying on the battlefield for a while, he became more and more careless about what he said.
At this time, An Xiaoyu reminded him, and he suddenly woke up, and he also woke up from the wine. But words spoken are like water thrown out, how can you take them back?
For a moment, Li Siqing felt embarrassed even if he didn't speak or didn't speak. Seeing the two of them looking like this, Xu Huaigu hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Li and I have known each other for so many years, and the Master of Qingfeng Valley is my savior, so there is no need for so many etiquettes between us. Besides, Yin Zizhi just now What I said is not a secret." Yin Zishi also smiled and said: "It is indeed not a secret. After a while, even if we don't tell you, I'm afraid you all know it, so it doesn't hurt to tell you now. It's our sect's Deng Zhiyuan, Elder Deng..." Xu Huaigu hurriedly interrupted him and said: "Wait a minute, I haven't mentioned the eight characters yet. If I say it now, it seems that I am too frivolous." Yin Zizhi smiled with half disgust and half envy. Said: "Come on, a grown man, mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Just now I said it was not a secret, but now I am not allowed to say it. How do you feel comfortable telling Brother Li about it? In fact, it is not a big deal. It is the elder Deng of our sect. He was going to accept Xu Huaigu as his disciple. In fact, he had made an agreement a long time ago, but he also said that he would go to Feiyuzhou, but it took many years before he left. Elder Deng has been waiting. After waiting for several years, this guy has finally returned. I went to East Fuyao Island. As a result, I didn’t even visit our sect when I came back, and ran straight to the south. My elder Deng asked me to go south to find him, and asked me to bring him a few words. He said it was a message. , In fact, he asked me to escort this guy back. This time when I return to the sect, if this guy still insists on not going north with me, I guess I will have to get scolded again." After saying this, everyone shouted loudly. laugh it out.
Li Siqing smiled and said: "What did I say? It turned out to be such a happy event! I have long heard that Elder Deng of the Fuyao Sect is the first Great Sword Immortal in our East Fuyao Continent to be promoted to the tenth realm. You can be called the number one swordsman in East Fuyaozhou, but you have never had a disciple for so many years. Xu Huaigu, you are so lucky. No matter how many people rush to get this kind of thing, you can't get it!" Yin Zushi also smiled and said: "But Isn't it? So, this time, even for my sake, you have to go back to Fuyao Sect with me. Otherwise, it won't be justified both emotionally and rationally." Yu Qin also took his arm and advised: "Yes, the Great Elder has been waiting for you for many years, and you can't bear to let her wait any longer, right? Besides, your parents are also at the foot of Fuyao Sect Mountain, so it's time for you to go see them." Xu Huaigu lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and then said with some ambiguity: "Let's take a look. If there is nothing important at the border, I will go back to Fuyao Sect with you." Yin Zizhen didn't say anything, just smiled, took the bowl and drank again, his face buried in Into the punch bowl.
Li Siqing quickly changed the subject and said: "Speaking of which, Senior Sister An and I have to go back. Our Valley Master told us at that time to just go to the battlefield and see the world. We can't be greedy for it, otherwise there will be too many kills. , the Taoist heart will be damaged." An Xiaoyu also nodded and said: "That's the thing. Although the seventh level was broken, we managed to hold off the demon clan's attack for nearly a month. We have fulfilled our mission. This time It’s okay, Li Siqing and I will set off back to Qingfeng Valley in a few days. Now that the demon clan is invading, it is unstoppable, and this is the time when the sect needs manpower. We also have to think about how to tide over the difficulties for our sect. That's the business." Li Siqing smiled and said: "So, everyone should go back to the sect?" Xia Ying had been silent before, but now she said: "I have to stay." Li Siqing asked: "What are you doing here?" Xia Ying looked indifferent and said, "Our Xingyue Sect is different from you. We are a local sect of Dayu Country. Every time the demon clan captures an inch of Dayu Country's land, it is far away from our sect. Go one step further. Instead of returning to the sect to practice, it is better to do something practical." Li Siqing nodded, and everyone nodded in agreement, so he drank another round of wine.
Only then did Xu Huaigu realize that there seemed to be something wrong with the number of people. Except for Fan Xuan who was resting and recuperating, there seemed to be one less person here.
Xu Huaigu looked around and couldn't find Li Zi, so he asked: "Where is Li Zi? Has anyone seen her?" Li Siqing also looked around and said with some doubts: "She was there before?" You rode with us to find you, why are you missing now?" Yu Qin lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I didn't seem happy when I saw her before." After that, she glanced at Xu Huaigu, with a look in her eyes. Meaningful.
Xu Huaigu understood and hurriedly put the matter aside, and said: "Eating and drinking, this is Brother Li's kindness, we can't waste it!"
"I can't afford it, I can't afford it!" Li Siqing laughed and said,
"You will soon be a disciple of Elder Deng. If you call me Brother Li, you will kill me! In the future, you will be prosperous. If nothing else, get a few more bottles of good wine that cannot be bought on the market. Let's get together often. !" Everyone laughed, and Li Siqing stood up and filled everyone's cups, saying: "To celebrate Brother Xu's future, it's time to drink this cup!" So everyone raised their heads to drink, talking and laughing during the dinner, it was so lively.
It's just a few bowls of worthless drinks, but as long as the love is there, it's as heavy as a mountain.
