"Does the steward know the approximate time of Master Shu's return?"
"Don't dare to deceive the immortal..."
Manager Luo continued to show an embarrassed expression: "It's impossible to tell. The master's divine horse can travel thousands of miles in a day. It's a big task to eliminate demons, so the master will definitely not delay on his way. It's just that eliminating demons is not an easy task, and the master The sect also has the habit of sitting cross-legged to reflect after getting rid of the demon... If everything goes well, maybe he can come back in a few days, but if it doesn't go well, he may not be able to stop it for a few months. Even the matter of accepting disciples in the sect, It was also arranged when the leader left."
"That's it."
Song You nodded, expressing understanding.
Monsters are different from people. They are cunning and mysterious. Whether it is the mountains hiding tigers or the fields hiding insects, they are all vast and vast. It is not easy to find them. It is difficult to say how long it will take to get rid of the monsters. Shu Yifan gained enlightenment from the Heavenly Thunder Sword Dao, and he has only been practicing martial arts for a short time. After exterminating the demon, it is normal for him to sit cross-legged and continue to deepen his knowledge of the Sword Dao if he has any feelings.
It's just that I have to go forward. In order to see my old friend, I can wait here for a few days, or more than ten days, but if it takes a month or a few months, that's too much delay.
At this time, Manager Luo glanced at him quietly again: "My boss and my husband have been separated for more than half a year. I often think about my husband. If my husband is not in a hurry to travel around the world, he can wait at the door."
After racking his brains as he spoke, he remembered that the original headmaster seemed to have mentioned that this immortal master liked scenery, culture, and food stories, so he added: "There is nothing strange about our Wushan Mountains, except for the great scenery every morning." The fog flows like silk, and if you reach the top of the mountain, the Buddha's light will shine all over you, which is a scenery that is hard to see anywhere else."
The Taoist lowered his head and looked at the calico cat.
The calico cat also looked up at him, with big and bright eyes.
"How about this……"
Song You seemed to have discussed it with Empress Sanhua, and said to Manager Luo: "We will wait at the gate for seven days for Master Shu. If Master Shu comes back, it will be good. If he doesn't come back, then there is probably an obstacle on the way to eliminate the demon." , we will go find him.”
"Thank you sir."
"It's just going to bother me for a few days."
"Sir's arrival brings glory to the mountain. How dare you call it a disturbance? I will arrange a place for you..."
"My horse doesn't need to be tied up. After unloading its luggage, just put it on the mountain and let it move around freely. If you see it, just feed it a few handfuls and a half of hay."
"Take note, villain."
Manager Luo quickly took him forward.
As he walked, he quietly glanced at the calico cat and bay horse.
I heard that the master met this gentleman five or six years ago in Xuzhou Yizhuang under a thunderstorm night, and got his advice, which gave the sword the name Thunder Sword. In the early spring of the year before last, I reunited with this gentleman in Changjing. I followed him to slay demons in Hezhou for more than a year. He left countless legends in Hezhou. He was also entrusted by an immortal to borrow mountains from Pingzhou to suppress the snowy fields. The Demon King once saw the scene of immortals exterminating demons, and the night sky was filled with thunder. Only then did he realize the Thunder Sword Technique, and he became transcendent from this world.
The cat and horse next to this gentleman are also said to be extremely magical in some places.
It is said that cats can transform into giant tigers, swallow ghosts and demons, and spit out three flavors of true fire. Horses can transform into green dragons, and some say they can transform into red dragons. I don’t know how true or false they are.
At this time, I saw that the cat was beautiful, not ordinary, and its expression and behavior were extremely agile and quite magical. In comparison, the bay-red horse seemed very ordinary. Not to mention that it was thin and short, and its expression and behavior were also like ordinary horses. There isn't much difference, which can't help but be a bit disappointing.
However, at this moment——
The maroon horse seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly turned his head a little, pointed one eye at him, and looked directly at him.
"..."
Manager Luo quickly looked away, not daring to look further.
…
The Taoist took up residence in the mountain gate.
There is nothing else to do every day. I just walk around in the mountains, watch children practicing martial arts, or go to the mountains to find wild fruits and enjoy the scenery. At meal time, Manager Luo would bring him local delicacies, and no one would disturb them at other times. If they didn't go out, they could still enjoy some peace and quiet.
After waiting for several days, Shu Yifan didn't come back.
Taoists are calm and not anxious.
However, Sanhua Empress was bored, so she turned into a human form, caught a whole handful of crickets, held them in her hands, and ran outside to wander around.
Empress Sanhua imitated the Taoist's appearance, walking calmly and slowly, with no expression on her face. She looked left and right as she walked, and her gait and behavior were somewhat like those of the Taoist.
Just walking, she would pick up a cricket from her hand and throw it into the sky.
"brush……"
A swallow will fly by and catch the cricket in its mouth.
Many children or teenagers are practicing martial arts seriously, and there are also many adult Jianghu people teaching them.
It can't be called teaching any martial arts, it's just testing your talents and making some selections. As for those who have been selected and are sure to be admitted, they will practice some basics to lay a solid foundation. In any case, disciples of this age do not need Shu Yifan to teach swordsmanship and kendo personally.
Those people in the world thought they had already received Manager Luo's advice. When they saw the little girl, they not only ignored her, but were also polite and often cast curious glances at her.
And when those children or teenagers saw that she not only didn't need to practice martial arts hard, but could also walk in the courtyard with a calm expression on her face, they didn't understand why. In addition, her appearance was already extraordinary. Those masters and uncles in the sect Uncle didn't care about her, but he was very respectful to her.
I probably thought she was the first senior sister to get started.
Sometimes I see her quick reactions and agility, and she can easily catch insects flying in front of her, and I feel that she has succeeded in learning and has mastered the peerless martial arts that her parents said.
Freedom and rules in the world are always relative. There is no age distinction. Among the same sect, the one who started first has a higher seniority.
"Hello, senior sister..."
"I've met senior sister."
When a young girl walked by, a young man greeted her slightly cautiously.
"?"
Sanhua Empress couldn't help but be startled when she heard this, then she turned her head with a swipe and stared at them.
"Teacher, senior sister..."
Many children were overwhelmed by the sight of her.
"..."
The little girl rolled her eyes a few times, then nodded to them, and then continued to walk slowly away from the place calmly.
Many children were overjoyed when they saw this.
When other children saw this, they also rushed to call her senior sister. They were very happy to get her nod.
The character of a child is probably like this.
Empress Sanhua also felt interesting in her heart, but she couldn't tell it at all on her face. She continued to walk, throwing a cricket into the sky from time to time. The swallows also played with her, and quickly went to catch it. The group of children only felt that It’s so awesome, I yearn for it and admire it.
…
Thunder Sword Sect, in the guest room.
The Taoist sat cross-legged on the bed, facing the window, looking at the clouds and mist flowing outside like silk, with a calm expression.
There was a large space on the bed beside him, and a little girl wearing three-color clothes lay on her back, with her feet in the air, kicking up into the air, making a sound of joy, and shared with the Taoist priest:
"They thought I was their senior sister!
"They are so stupid...
"Kukuku...
"They call me sister...
"Call me sister..."
The Taoist was still looking outside, but there was a bit of a smile on his face.
After Sanhua Empress was slightly relieved from her joy, he turned his head and asked Sanhua Empress: "What day is today since we came here?"
"Well!"
As soon as the little girl turned over, she immediately sat up from lying on her back with her legs in the air. She sat with her legs crossed and her whole body was a small ball. She turned her head to look at him and thought for a while before replying:
"It's the fifth day~"
"Master Shu hasn't come back yet."
"right!"
The little girl thought about it seriously and then said: "Shu has many names..."
Cats' concerns are always different.
The Taoist didn't care, he just turned around and asked her:
"Where are there many?"
"There are just a lot of them. Shu, Shu Yifan, Master Shu, the leader, what swords are left..."
The little girl said, counting on her fingers.
"Um……"
Song You nodded and thought for a while, but instead of explaining it carefully to her, he said in agreement:
"That's true."
"Miss Sanhua is very smart."
"It's natural."
"What if I can't wait for Shu?"
"Let's ask Empress Sanhua."
"Let's go find him!"
"I will follow Empress Sanhua." Song You paused, "But we don't know where Shu went first, so we have to ask the clever Empress Sanhua to decide where to find her."
"Miao Sanhua is in charge, meow?"
"It is also……"
Song You turned slightly sideways, faced her face to face, and told her carefully and solemnly.
There is an insect demon in Jiyan County to the north, four hundred miles away, and a tiger demon in Jinhe County to the west, six to seven hundred miles away. The north is close and the west is far. I heard that the insect demon can eat up all the crops in a county in a short time. Although the tiger demon is also fierce and cannibal, it is not as ferocious and eager as the insect demon. From this point of view , Shu Yifan will probably go to the north first.
However, I heard that locusts are causing widespread disasters. In fact, it is not necessarily caused by monsters. It may also be that people are panicked and do not understand, so the rumors spread. In addition, it is easy to get rid of tiger demons in Jinglei Sword Dao, but it is difficult to get rid of insect demons. Just like how it was difficult for the gods of Lei Department to get rid of the rat demons in Lanmo County, even if Shu Yifan entered the Tao with martial arts, it would be difficult for him to get rid of the whole sky with one sword. Locusts, from this point of view, he may go to the west first.
After all, Song You did not learn the skills of Master Tiansuan, nor did he know where he went first and where he went later.
Now that nearly ten days have passed, I still don't know whether he is still trapped in the first place or whether he has gone to the second place in addition to the first place.
"Miss Sanhua doesn't know..."
The little girl sat on the bed and answered honestly.
"That……"
Song You thought for a while and said, "Then let's go north first."
"Go north first!"
"Does Empress Sanhua also agree?"
"Sanhua Empress will follow you."
"good."
Once the Taoist has made up his mind, he no longer struggles.
Firstly, the insect plague is more urgent than the tiger monster. Secondly, the Taoist wants to return to Changjing and is heading west. If he goes to the north first and then to the west, he will pass through a short section of Hezhou to Angzhou and return to Changjing. To go to the northwest and then turn around and go back to the north of this place, you have to walk a lot of backtracking.
Since I don't know where Shu Yifan is, I just let it happen.
"Two more days."
"Two more days~"
"Sanhua Empress, please go out for a walk more often. I heard those people calling you senior sister. If you leave here, Sanhua Empress may not have the opportunity to be a sister for a long time in the future."
"right!"
The little girl's expression suddenly became serious.
