At night, after Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin returned to the Bamboo House, they still laughed and talked about many things about Li Siqing, starting from Li Siqing to themselves.
The night was already deep, but there was still a small oil lamp burning in the bamboo building. The two sat down side by side in front of a wooden table and talked by the lamp.
Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "I said at the time that there was something wrong with the two of them. It turned out that they had taken a liking to them a long time ago, but they kept the rest of us in the dark. When I see him tomorrow, I will have to give him a good lesson." Yu Qin smiled and explained to Li Siqing: "Three or four months have passed since he left the border. Maybe he developed a love during those days when he got along day and night. You should just joke with him, but you have to be careful. So. With An Xiaoyu's temper, I'm afraid she won't be happy after hearing this." Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "I know, I will pay attention to it tomorrow." Yu Qin asked, "We are here in Qingfeng Valley, how long are you planning to stay? when?"
"No matter what, I have to wait until the demon clan comes over and I pay off the sword I owe Qingfenggu before I can leave." Xu Huaigu lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Actually, there is one more thing that I would like to do together."
"What's up?"
"Go to the Zixia Sect." Qingfeng Valley and the Zixia Sect are located in the same country as Yamato, and are only two to three hundred miles apart. Xu Huaigu has to stay in Qingfeng Valley until the demon tribe arrives. No matter how he calculates, there are still two or three months.
If you don't go to Zixia Sect at this time, I'm afraid that if the demon clan comes over, you will never have a chance again. Yu Qin pursed her lips, nodded resolutely, and said, "I agreed last time that I would go up the mountain with you. You can't regret it." Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "Of course I won't regret what I said. It's just that you now We are only in the fourth realm. I am going to wait for you to break through the fifth realm and refine the natal flying sword before we go up together. In this way, even if they want to come hard, we will have a way out and we will not be too embarrassed." Yu Qin After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "That's exactly the reason. I walked on the border battlefield once. Although I'm not as capable as you and I didn't kill as many demons as you, I still gained a lot of insights. If I could fight in Qingfeng Valley If we stay locked up for a period of time, maybe the bottleneck from the fourth realm to the fifth realm can be broken." Xu Huaigu said happily: "This is naturally the best. But the demon clan is pressing harder and harder. I estimate that within three months The army will definitely come to Qingfeng Valley, and we don't have much time." Yu Qin said seriously: "I will try my best to break through the situation as soon as possible. During these days, I will not accompany you out, and I will only focus on Meditate quietly in the bamboo building. If there is nothing important, don’t even bother me, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted." Cultivation requires immersing the mind. Xu Huaigu naturally understood this. He smiled and nodded in agreement: "Of course." Yu Qin looked at Xu Huaigu's smile and didn't know what he was thinking.
She thought of Xie Qingyun and what he said about Liu Waner's return on the way up the mountain. She was already a little depressed about this matter, but luckily, he didn't notice it at all. Instead, he laughed all night long, and she couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, and her expression changed. The child sank.
Seeing that she didn't look right, Xu Huaigu asked doubtfully: "You are about to have your first flying sword. Isn't this a happy event? Why do you look so sad instead?" Even with Yu Qin's temperament, he was also worried about it. He curled his lips in front of him and asked resentfully: "You really don't know in your heart?" Xu Huaigu then started to think seriously.
He quickly reviewed what he had seen and heard today, and he quickly had an answer in his mind. He smiled and said: "It must be because Li Siqing and An Xiaoyu are about to have a happy event. We are so long ahead of them and haven't arranged it yet, so you are unhappy, right? It's easy. Anyway, we will wait for you when the time comes. In the Fuyao Sect, the only thing left is to choose a date? My parents happen to be there, and Senior Deng will definitely come to join in the fun. By then, he will definitely be in a good position, even better than them." Yu Qin looked at him. His eyes were clear and clean, and he really meant what he was thinking, and he couldn't help but feel that he was a little funny too.
It turned out that he didn't take Liu Waner seriously at all what Xie Qingyun said. So she turned her head and smiled and said: "It's not this, there is something else, but I won't tell you and leave it to you to decide on your own." Xu Huaigu had to think for a moment, and now he had another answer in his mind.
However, he did not dare to say it in front of Yu Qin, so he just smiled and said, "Spare me, I really can't guess." Yu Qin lowered his head, thought for a while, and decided to say it.
So she looked into Xu Huaigu's eyes and said seriously: "You and that Liu Waner, don't get too close." Xu Huaigu laughed twice and pretended to be casual: "I said you were worried about something, it turned out to be She. I haven't seen her for so many years. She finally returned from the Middle Earth to learn swordsmanship, so Xie Guzhu just told me, you are overthinking it." Yu Qin lowered his head and whispered: "I hope I am overthinking it. Otherwise, with your free and easy temper, who can control you? It's just your own inner truth." Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "How can you not, can't you control it?" Yu Qin smacked his lips and gently
He said "cut" and then said: "Then I will go into seclusion. It is estimated that I will be able to break through in more than a month. During this period, you have to take good care of Ruyu and let him think more about it when he is not doing anything. I want to read some books and learn some things from you. During the few months he has been with us, you, the hands-off man, have done a good job, but I have taught him more than you." Xu Huaigu said with a smile on his face: "I got it. , you can rest assured and go into seclusion."
"Also, it is good to get together with Li Siqing, but you are not allowed to drink too much, let alone get drunk. Of course, no one will care about you if you are alone, but Li Siqing has a Taoist companion now, if you still have sex with him every day Drinking without scruples, again, I'm afraid An Xiaoyu won't be happy and will hurt other people's feelings." Xu Huaigu still smiled and said: "I know, I know."
"Again, the most important thing. You are not allowed to carry me to Zixia Sect during the days when I am in seclusion. Otherwise, when I come out of seclusion, I will never pay attention to you again. I really will never pay attention to you again. You." Seeing her resolute expression, Xu Huaigu had no choice but to stop laughing and nodded seriously: "I got it." Yu Qin looked at the person in front of her, and for some reason, when she thought about not being able to see him for more than a month, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, she had to go into seclusion. After all, she could only break through the five realms and refine the immortal weapon.
"Rain Curtain", she could get closer to him. Otherwise, she would have fallen too far behind Xu Huaigu on the road of cultivation.
After hesitating for a long time, she sighed softly and said: "Stay with me one more night, and I will officially start retreat tomorrow morning." The two readers sat side by side, Xu Huaigu stretched out an arm to hug her, and said softly :"good."
"Do you think a person like me, who is indecisive and has a weak Taoist mind, is really suitable for practicing? Can he cultivate any Taoism?"
"Stop thinking about these things. You know, you are already in the fourth realm now, and many people can't reach it in a lifetime. What's more, you are about to break through the fifth realm. If you refine that immortal weapon, you can even be an enemy in the sixth realm. This Not great yet?”
"But I don't like fighting and killing. Even if I go to the five realms, what's the use?"
"Think less about this and go to bed earlier." The lamp was finally blown out, and the bamboo house fell into darkness. There were stars outside the window, and there was a lot of fog. The night was long.
...The next morning, when Xu Huaigu woke up from his sleep, Yu Qin had already found a quiet room on the second floor of the bamboo building and began to practice in seclusion.
Xu Huaigu did not disturb her, put on his clothes, and went downstairs. He saw that Ruyu had woken up at some point and was boiling water and making tea downstairs.
For some unknown reason, Ruyu has been drinking tea more and more frequently recently. When asked, he said he could taste the leaves in the tea.
In a big human city, surrounded by buildings, the atmosphere of the mountains has been lost. Xu Huaigu guessed that it was for this reason that he wanted to get the familiar taste from the tea.
This habit remained until they left the city. Although the city is beautiful, to him it is just a passing cloud that he has glanced at briefly. In the end, he still has to return to the mountains and nature.
Otherwise, why would the ancestral teachings of the demon clan say that all demon clan are children of nature. Flesh and flesh are inseparable.
But that's not a bad thing. As the saying goes, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, tea occupies a very important part in people's lives. If he likes drinking tea, he has gradually learned people's living habits.
Xu Huaigu had morning tea with him and asked, "I'm going to visit a friend today. Do you want to go with me, or would you rather stay in the building and read a book?" Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Go back." Sir, I want to go with you." Xu Huaigu nodded and agreed, and after the two cleaned up, they went out.
There was a lot of fog last night and the snow had almost melted, but the weather was still as cold as ever.
The two of them followed the mountain road in the sect down the mountain and then up the mountain. Xu Huaigu found the small Luoxia Peak based on his memory. Walking up the mountainside, he saw dozens of small wooden buildings scattered in the forest. I wonder which building the old shopkeeper of the restaurant said Li Siqing lived in yesterday.
He was about to knock on the door and ask when he saw a young girl walking down the mountain road. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, not tall, with a pretty face. She had a short sword tied around her waist and walked lightly down the mountain.
The girl was looking around as she walked down the mountain, as if she was looking for something. When her eyes fell on Xu Huaigu, she stopped.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised. What a coincidence, this little girl is the same girl they saw when they entered the sect yesterday.
But what she was looking at was not Xu Huaigu, but Ruyu behind Xu Huaigu. Since you can meet someone you know, you don't have to knock on the door to disturb others.
Xu Huaigu walked towards the girl with a smile and said hello: "Hello, girl, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." The little girl stood on a high place, nodded, indicating that she understood, her eyes still stayed on Ruyu.
Xu Huaigu then asked, "Do you know where Li Siqing lives? Li Siqing, your senior brother Li." The little girl puffed her cheeks and thought for a moment, then said, "Follow me." After that, she left the stone alone. Road, walking along a small road, Xu Huaigu and the other two quickly followed her.
Not long after, a few people stopped in front of a wooden building. The little girl pointed to the building and said, "Senior Brother Li lives here." Xu Huaigu looked up and looked around, but saw that this building was different from other wooden buildings. The buildings are exactly the same, very simple.
If this were an ordinary people's house, and there was a big wedding event, the whole house would have been decorated with red lanterns and candles. Unfortunately, monks don't like these.
The little girl led them to the road and did not leave, but looked at Ruyu curiously. Ruyu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, and quickly looked away, not looking at her.
Xu Huaigu just smiled at her and said, "Thank you, little girl." The little girl still nodded. Seeing that Ruyu seemed a little uncomfortable, she thought about it and walked away.
Xu Huaigu looked at her leaving figure and smiled. Such a delicate and beautiful girl, a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters cannot give birth to such a person.
