The two of them spent the whole night blowing in the wind on the cliff, chatting a lot, mostly about things from that year. Looking back now, those long years are really the most beautiful time in my life. Although everyone's realm is not high and their horizons are shallow, their lives are much more free and happy than they are now. Nowadays, I know more and more things, but my hands and feet are constrained and I feel uncomfortable everywhere. However, this is growth, no one can escape it, they can only choose to face it.
The innocent thoughts of young people are the most touching.
A bright morning glow lit up beside them, and the narrow fish belly white gradually appeared. The two of them sat and watched the sunrise before standing up with some reluctance, still preparing to go home.
The way Xu Huaigu said he could keep Qingfeng Valley alive was actually hidden in the scabbard on his waist.
Wei Caiyi's business deal with Zixia Sect and Fuyao Sect has not been finalized, so the fine Xian Family mansion should still be in her hands. Although the Phoenix Feather Sword on Xu Huaigu's waist is still of the rank of an Immortal Soldier, Wei Caiyi himself said that as long as he can find a suitable craftsman, he can cast it into a spiritual treasure. It is certainly not difficult for Wei Caiyi to find this craftsman. They are all spiritual treasures anyway, maybe she will be interested in this Phoenix Feather Sword.
Of course, it's not that Xu Huaigu doesn't cherish his sword. On the contrary, among all his swords, his favorite is the Phoenix Feather Sword, and even Longquan is a little less. After all, this Phoenix Feather Sword was left to him by Zuo Qiuxun.
How can you not cherish the sword of an old friend? Furthermore, this is a spiritual treasure. The sword is still in his hand, so it doesn't seem like much, but once it is sold, it will be difficult to find another sword of the Spiritual Treasure level. Even an eleventh-level monk like Wei Caiyi is so eager for the spiritual treasure. Where can he, an eighth-level swordsman, find it?
However, as Xie Qingyun said, she felt that the talents in the sect were the most important compared to the sect's base, and Xu Huaigu also agreed with this point. If he could use one sword in exchange for the lives of the entire Qingfeng Valley clan, let alone ten swords, Xu Huaigu would agree without hesitation. The sword is a foreign object. If you lose it, you can continue to look for it. If you can't find it, forget it and just replace it with an immortal weapon. However, once a person dies, it is difficult to come back to life. If Zuoqiu Xunzai's spirit knew his current situation, he would definitely agree. He was very sure about this.
Once you figure out the crux of it, this matter will be easy to handle. All he had to do was go to Xie Qingyun and find out about it, and if she agreed, he could write a letter to Wei Caiyi and complete the deal.
As for what Xu Huaigu could get from this transaction, he didn't care much. As long as the six hundred Qingfeng Valley monks like Li Siqing and Liu Waner can survive, it will be his greatest benefit.
The two agreed to go to Xie Qingyun to discuss the matter in the evening, then separated on the road and went home.
Xu Huaigu was still a little worried because he didn't come home last night, so he went straight back to the bamboo house. However, he saw the familiar figure of the girl on the road again, rushing to his bamboo house. He couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
What kind of luck did he have that he could see her?
The girl Chen Qijin changed her hair again. Instead of braiding, she divided her long hair into several strands and twisted them together. She also took a silver hairpin and inserted it in the middle. It took a lot of effort. Judging from her brisk steps, there must have been no accidents between the two of them yesterday.
Chen Qi also quickly discovered Xu Huaigu, turned around with a smile, and sweetly shouted: "Good morning, Mr. Xu!"
He changed his tune so quickly. Xu Huaigu smiled and replied: "Good morning, Miss Chen, where are you going so early?"
Chen Qi slowed down, walked side by side with Xu Huaigu on the road, and replied with a smile: "I am going to Mr. Xu's house. I made an appointment with Ruyu yesterday, and today I will go for a walk in the mountains. I know there is a cliff deep in the mountains. The cliff There is a big eagle living on the wall, take him to see it."
Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "He promised you?"
Chen Qi frowned, thought for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "I guess I agreed."
Xu Huaigu smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
So Chen Qi asked curiously: "Mr. Xu, I want to ask, why are his eyes red? And the pupils are also very beautiful, like flowers seen in a glass mirror. Why can't I be so beautiful?" Where are his eyes?"
Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "But you have beautiful hair, which can be tied into different styles every time, but he doesn't, right? So, one person can't take all the good things. It's best if everyone has their own advantages." "
Chen Qi nodded with a smile and said, "Sir, you must have a point."
"Why do you call me sir? I'm not from your sect, so I'm not afraid of being heard by your senior brothers and sisters?"
"No, my senior brothers and sisters are very nice people and won't care about this. Besides, Ruyu only talks about the word 'sir' all day long, so I'll call you sir too."
Xu Huaigu smiled and asked, "What did Ruyu talk to you about yesterday? Did he laugh?"
Chen Qi pursed his lips, shook his head, and said as if complaining: "As Mr. said, he talks very little! I didn't see him smile. He seemed to move the corners of his mouth slightly a few times, but he couldn't smile either. It really makes me anxious."
Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "It's okay. That kid is afraid of strangers. You can get used to it if you play with him more."
Chen Qi nodded seriously and said, "I will definitely make him laugh."
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived in front of the bamboo building. Xu Huaigu stepped forward and knocked on the door. Ruyu opened the door and saw that it was Xu Huaigu, and said hurriedly: "Good morning, sir."
Xu Huaigu nodded and entered the building. Ruyu looked up and saw a girl standing at the door looking at him with a smile. Chen Qi smiled and greeted him: "Good morning!"
Ruyu was stunned for a moment, then replied somewhat numbly: "It's good for you too."
Xu Huaigu stood in the room, filled the teapot on the table with water, and said with a smile: "Miss Chen, please come in quickly and have a cup of tea."
Chen Qi glanced at Ruyu, walked in with a generous smile, put the dagger aside, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then looked around the room and asked: "I saw you guys here before. When you were there, was there a sister? Why didn’t you see her? "
Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "I'm practicing in seclusion upstairs. I probably won't see her for a month."
Chen Qi nodded regretfully and said, "That's a pity. My sister is very beautiful. I still want to talk to her."
Ruyu looked tense, still a little nervous, and sat down at the table. Xu Huaigu glanced at the two of them each, picked up the teacup and drank tea, his eyes full of smiles.
No matter how you look at these two people, they look a bit like Xu Huaigu and Liu Waner back then.
…
During the day, Chen Qi was very active. He only sat at Xu Huaigu's house for a short time before going out to play. Xu Huaigu asked Ruyu to accompany her, but Ruyu turned red and would rather read in the building than go out.
Xu Huaigu tried to persuade him a few times, but he still couldn't move away. Xu Huaigu couldn't do anything to him, so he had to apologize to Chen Qi, but the girl didn't take it seriously at all, and still smiled and said that she could read a book together. So Xu Huaigu simply let the two of them stay in the bamboo house, and he also found a book to read to kill time.
It wasn't until evening that there was a knock on the door. Ruyu went to open the door, only to see an unknown sister standing outside the door. Although she was unfamiliar, she looked kind and did not look like a bad person. Chen Qi looked inside the door, laughed hastily and shouted: "Sister Liu!"
Liu Waner was a little surprised when she saw Chen Qi in Xu Huaigu's bamboo house. She hurriedly walked forward and greeted the girl with a smile.
Xu Huaigu invited her in for tea. The two of them had business to do at night. After giving instructions to the two children, they left the bamboo building and went to find Xie Qingyun.
On the way, Liu Waner asked Xu Huaigu what his method was. Xu Huaigu patted the scabbard on his waist and told Wei Caiyi that he was looking for spiritual treasures everywhere. Only then did Liu Waner realize that Xu Huaigu wanted to use one of his spiritual treasures to Wei Caiyi in exchange for the opportunity to move his clan to the Middle Kingdom. She has also heard of Wei Caiyi's name. It is said that he is the city lord of Luoyun City, the largest monk market in the Central Region. He has a cultivation level of the 11th realm and has countless rare treasures in his hands.
She was lost in thought for a long time and seemed a little depressed.
Xie Qingyun usually worked in the Patriarch's Hall. The two of them walked to the Patriarch's Hall in Qingfeng Valley, told the elder guarding the door, and then went in to look for Xie Qingyun.
Passing through the Ancestral Hall is the Ancestral Mountain of Qingfeng Valley. There is a valley in the forest there, and a simple wooden building stands there, which is Xie Qingyun's residence. The two of them each had their own thoughts. Xu Huaigu was determined, but Liu Waner frowned slightly and was thinking about other things.
Although Xu Huaigu was willing to help, Liu Waner also knew that Xu Huaigu had to pay a huge price for this matter, and that he had to give a spiritual treasure in exchange for it, so she felt a little sorry. What's more, she also knew that a big reason why Xu Huaigu was willing to do this was because of herself, so she felt even more guilty for him.
What is the identity between myself and him? It's a friend, more than a friend; but if it's anything else, Xu Huaigu already has a lover... What on earth does this mean to me? Liu Waner couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Xu Huaigu stood in front of the wooden building door, knocked on the door, and heard a female voice coming from inside: "Please come in."
The two pushed the door open and went in, only to see that the wooden building was bare of walls and almost empty except for a table and a few chairs. And Xie Qingyun was sitting at the simple long table, looking at the documents in her hands, the candlelight flickering, her expression very serious.
Xie Qingyun looked up and was a little surprised to see Xu Huaigu and Liu Waner coming side by side. She put down her Chinese book and said with a smile: "In the middle of the night, I thought some elder was looking for me with something urgent, but it turned out to be you two. Why, you have some leisure time and you want to come to my place to have fun?"
Liu Waner shook her head and turned to look at Xu Huaigu. Xu Huaigu said, "I have something serious that I want to discuss with the owner of the valley."
Xie Qingyun nodded, pointed to several other chairs, and said, "Please sit down."
The two sat down. Xie Qingyun looked at Liu Waner with an expression that seemed to be in a trance, while Xu Huaigu sat in a serious position, not even thinking about what the purpose of these two people was to come to him. It seemed like it was really a serious matter?
Xu Huaigu said: "The two of us came to look for the Valley Master, but we actually came to Qingfeng Valley to defend against the demon clan."
Xie Qingyun nodded slowly and said: "That is indeed a big matter, please tell me."
Xu Huaigu said nothing, but looked at the scabbard on his waist, reached out to untie it, and placed it on the table in front of Xie Qingyun. His eyes were firm and he said: "I want to sell the sword to Wei Caiyi and exchange it for her in China." That piece of Feng Shui treasure land serves as the basis for the relocation of the sect in Qingfeng Valley. This matter is huge and concerns all the monks in Qingfeng Valley. Therefore, I dare not make a decision without permission, so I came to ask the Valley Master specifically. As long as the Valley Master nods, I will immediately ask Wei Caiyi write a letter."
Sell the sword to Wei Caiyi? This was completely unexpected. Xie Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then held the sword in his hand, pushed it away and looked at it, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Xie Qingyun put the sword back, glanced at Xu Huaigu, and then at Liu Waner who was struggling, as if he understood something.
"For the sake of Qingfeng Valley's survival, I ask the Valley Master to nod. This sword can also be considered as my thank you gift for the Valley Master's life-saving grace."
However, Xie Qingyun did not agree immediately. She just pursed her lips, lowered her head and frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
This thank you gift is too precious.
Xie Qingyun still looked at Liu Waner, with a lot of sadness between her slender eyebrows.
