When dealing with some people, kind words and kind words will only be regarded as easy to bully. Instead, only by hardening one's back can things be done. This was the case with the Xianzhou incident. If Xu Huaigu hadn't used an iron fist to cause this incident, I'm afraid that the Tai Chi fight between Manager Fan and Xie Qingyun would have lasted for some time.
Xie Qingyun was naturally even more grateful to Xu Huaigu after having successfully negotiated the departure of the fairy boat. When the two returned to their clan with their swords, Xie Qingyun thanked him. Xu Huaigu smiled and said it was okay.
However, he was worried that Xie Qingyun's temperament was not upright enough and he would move his clan to the Middle Kingdom in the future, fearing that he would be made things difficult for him again. Moreover, the fairy boat picking up people this time was part of the contract between him and Wei Caiyi. Although the fairy boat was here, such a turmoil happened again. Xu Huaigu couldn't help but worry about the treasure land around the founding landscape promised by Wei Caiyi. The situation is somewhat doubtful. He was still going to write a letter to explain the matter to Wei Caiyi, and he must ask her to take care of the sects and landscape gods around the land, otherwise he was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble after moving the sect there.
After returning to the sect, Xie Qingyun summoned all the elders overnight and decided on the names of the first batch of disciples to move to Middle-earth. The two fairy boats can only carry four hundred people, so two hundred people have to stay and wait for the fairy boats to make a round trip before leaving. In addition, the treasures and classics from Qingfeng Valley are also prepared to be sent away in the second batch. According to Xie Qingyun, things are dead but people are alive, so the disciples should be allowed to go first.
So at dusk the next day, the Qingfeng Valley disciples who left first packed their luggage and boarded the fairy boat. Most of these disciples were not very advanced in cultivation, and they were accompanied by ten elders. After an appointment of ten and a half days, the two fairy boats would return to Qingfeng Valley and transport the remaining people and belongings away. Only then did Xu Huaigu let them go. Of course, before the fairy boat set off, Xu Huaigu warned them that if anything went wrong on the way, the boat owner and steward would have to be traced, and the two had no choice but to agree.
Needless to say, as soon as the four hundred people left, Qingfeng Valley, which was already a sparsely populated area, became increasingly deserted. During the day, there were not many people seen on the road, so Xie Qingyun simply withdrew from the outer mountains, and the sect disciples only walked around the inner mountains.
Li Siqing and An Xiaoyu were both at a low level, not to mention that Li Siqing was not willing to leave Qingfeng Valley, so naturally he was not the first group to leave. Needless to say, Liu Waner stayed in the valley. As for the little girl Chen Qi, she was originally on the list. However, the little girl herself was unwilling to leave and said she would stay for a while, so she did not leave. Therefore, several of Xu Huaigu’s acquaintances were still in the valley, occasionally interacting with each other. Visiting here is not boring at all, it is much more interesting than in Zixia Sect.
Xu Huaigu prepared to wait for the fairy boat to arrive again, and after Qingfeng Valley completed the relocation, he and Yu Qin would go north. Anyway, it has been delayed for so long, so it is not less than half a month.
It is worth mentioning that the attack pace of the demon clan in the south is getting faster and faster. Almost every day, news comes that the Yamato army has been defeated and several cities have been lost. The demon tribe is advancing northward at a speed of thirty to forty miles a day, gradually encroaching on the land of East Fuyao Continent. It's just that there is still some distance from Qingfeng Valley and Zixia Sect. If the immortal boat can arrive on time, the safe evacuation of Qingfeng Valley will not be a problem.
The days passed day by day in the spring wind. That evening, Li Siqing made an appointment with Xu Huaigu, and the two were going to a restaurant for a drink. There were only two of them, Yu Qin and An Xiaoyu were not called. According to Li Siqing, it's been too long since the two brothers drank alone. The relationship between brothers cannot be ruined just because of two women. How can that be ridiculous? Xu Huaigu still just smiled at his words, and naturally agreed, and tonight was the day to fulfill the promise.
Most of the people in Qingfeng Valley have gone there, and there are no restaurants tonight.
It's not lively anymore, there are just a few deserted tables far apart from each other. The shopkeeper sat behind the counter, smoking and yawning.
The two of them sat at the wine table, and within a few bowls, Xu Huaigu noticed that something was wrong with Li Siqing. He was drinking too much, and his smile showed some reluctance. Xu Huaigu asked him what was wrong. At first he said it was fine and refused to say anything. However, after drinking several bowls of wine, it was as if a flood had burst its embankments and he kept talking about everything on his mind. come out.
He had something on his mind, so he drank in a hurry. At this time, he was almost drunk, half-slumped on the wine table, and complained to Xu Huaigu with a frown on his face. Although there were many words, most of them were talking about him and An Xiaoyu. There seems to be endless things to say about how good the two of them were in the past. No matter what they did together, they were extremely happy. However, for some reason, after they officially became a Taoist couple, they should have become better, but instead they were in trouble. I was unhappy several times. It’s not that he’s not good here, it’s that there’s something wrong with him. In short, he’s pointing fingers at him.
Li Siqing was the one who disliked being controlled the most. The two of them had quarreled several times over trivial matters, so he felt unhappy and couldn't vent it out in front of An Xiaoyu, so???????? ???????In order to ask Xu Huaigu to go out for a drink alone.
After hearing this, Xu Huaigu felt mixed emotions. Not to mention the immortal monks, but the common people in the secular world. How can they not quarrel and quarrel after getting married? These are just necessary things. After all, there are still only a few couples like Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin who respect each other as guests.
Li Siqing got drunk and became more and more arrogant. He lay on the wine table, sighed, and shook his head: "Maybe she doesn't like me at all, otherwise why would she go against me everywhere? Alas! I'm so confused!"
Xu Huaigu frowned, took the wine bowl away from his hand, and advised: "Drink less wine."
Li Siqing lost the wine bowl, raised his eyes, casually found a wine bottle on the table, took two swigs, and said: "Don't persuade me, she doesn't allow me to drink more, but I insist on drinking! Why does she care?" I?"
Xu Huaigu asked: "Have you ever traveled down the mountain before?"
"Huh?" Li Siqing raised his head half-drunk and looked at him with some confusion, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I ask you, you just answer."
"I've been there, but it wasn't long after I came down the mountain. It was the time we met in Baihai, not long after I came down the mountain. But didn't I get the inheritance from that Huanglong Taoist later? I immediately went back to the sect to report to the elders. So if you want to say it, I didn’t go down the mountain for long. Also, I went to the border to kill monsters a few days ago, which can be considered as going down the mountain, but it was less than half a year."
"Then have you ever seen a secular couple?"
"I've never seen this before." Li Siqing shook his head drowsily, then raised his head to drink wine, "Why are you talking about this? Did you listen to what An Xiaoyu said to you?"
"The same goes for monks becoming Taoist couples and marrying people. Who is not inseparable from the moment they met? When you start living together, you will inevitably be stumbling over trivial things. Some small conflicts are also normal. They say When a couple quarrels at the end of the bed, she cares about you because she cares about you. Otherwise, who else would care about you? Even me, I see many things, but they are just thoughts in my mind. You didn’t say anything either…”
Xu Huaigu was thinking of ways to persuade him and said a lot of reasons. When he looked down, he saw that Li Siqing was very drunk, his eyelids were closed tightly, and he had fallen asleep on the table. Xu Huaigu was a little helpless, so he had to stop reasoning and take him into his hands.
She tore off the wine bottle that was still attached to her, sighed, put one of his hands on her shoulders, slowly helped her up, went to the shopkeeper at the entrance of the restaurant to pay the bill, and then the two of them walked out of the restaurant. .
It was already midnight. Li Siqing was so drunk that he couldn't tell his direction at all. He could only stand up by relying on Xu Huaigu. Xu Huaigu had no choice but to take him back to his home.
It was pitch dark on the road at night, which was a bit eerie. The two of them had not gone far when Xu Huaigu saw a shadow walking quickly on the other side of the road, so he stopped and looked at that person. It wasn't until the man walked up to the two of them that Xu Huaigu saw her face clearly. It turned out to be An Xiaoyu.
She knew that Li Siqing was going out to drink tonight, so she felt a little sulky, and decided to just rely on practice to get through the night, and let him get drunk as much as she wanted without caring about him. However, no matter how much she tried to calm down, the ripples on the lake in her heart never dissipated, and her spiritual practice was half the result with half the effort. Until midnight, she opened her eyes and walked around the wooden building. Seeing that Li Siqing hadn't come back yet, she felt even more worried, so she tied her sword and walked out, and went to the restaurant to look for him. She happened to meet Xu Huaigu holding him. Li Siqing went back.
When An Xiaoyu saw Li Siqing so drunk, she felt angry and sighed in her heart, but she couldn't show it in front of his brother. So she just smiled apologetically at Xu Huaigu and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, fellow Daoist Xu. This guy refuses to change his ways. I will definitely talk to him well when I get back."
Xu Huaigu said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, I will help you take him back."
"No, no need." An Xiaoyu declined quickly, took Li Siqing's hand and put it on her shoulder. Suddenly the smell of alcohol hit her face, she frowned, then smiled helplessly at Xu Huaigu and said, "I'll just take him back, I won't bother you."
Xu Huaigu had no choice but to hand Li Siqing over to her and nodded. So An Xiaoyu helped Li Siqing go back slowly, while Xu Huaigu stood there, looking at their backs with a lot of emotions in his heart.
The so-called companionship is these two words. If Li Siqing still doesn't wake up, even Xu Huaigu won't be able to stand it anymore, and he will have to be beaten hard when the time comes.
The two of them had only walked a few dozen steps when Xu Huaigu suddenly stopped An Xiaoyu and said, "Fellow Daoist An!"
An Xiaoyu stopped and turned to look at Xu Huaigu in confusion.
"I've known him for quite a few years. This guy is a bit childish and wants to save face. Please be more patient and don't be disappointed in him. He still has a good heart."
An Xiaoyu nodded towards Xu Huaigu, but couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and continued walking. Xu Huaigu smiled. The two walked slowly on the road, maybe they could go further in the future.
It was getting very late, and even An Xiaoyu came to see Li Siqing. Yu Qin must have been anxious too, so Xu Huaigu immediately turned around and walked towards his bamboo house without any further delay. After traveling for more than three miles, the outline of the bamboo building was looming under the moonlight. There was only a faint light in the bamboo building. Yu Qin must be waiting for him. Before he could fall asleep, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but quicken his pace.
However, when he walked to the door of the bamboo building, he heard conversations coming from the building. There was a voice that was obviously not Yu Qin's. He couldn't help but wonder, and quickly knocked on the door. Ruyu opened the door. Xu Huaigu walked a few steps into the building and looked into the hall. He saw that the room was brightly lit, with several candles lit on the table and oil lamps hung on the wall. Yu Qin sat on the side of the wooden table, and another woman in white clothes sat beside her. The two of them had smiles on their faces and were chatting happily. Seeing Xu Huaigu coming back at this time, they all looked at the door together.
When Xu Huaigu saw the woman in white clothes, he was a little surprised and asked, "Fan Xuan? Why are you here?"
