After a while, Wang Xizhou came back. Instead of the stern look on his face just now, he only had an ordinary calm look on his face.
"Brother Wang, what happened?" Bai Gu saw Wang Xizhou coming back and quickly stepped forward to ask.
Wang Xizhou glanced at the room. The room was very peaceful, with only gentle snoring.
Bai Gu said softly: "Xiaoxiao has been put to sleep by me."
Wang Xizhou nodded, not talking nonsense, "It should have been a cultivator who was peeping just now, and he quickly escaped after being discovered by Xizhou. This person's cultivation level was only comparable to the second level, and Xizhou's blow hit him. It's just that The man's escape technique was really weird. After leaving Shayu Town, he fled towards the northwest. In three breaths, he disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a trace of breath. Xizhou could only be helpless. Return with success."
"Second realm?" Bai Gu frowned, "There are also practitioners in Shayu Town?"
"It should be good. When he first arrived at Shayu Town in the afternoon, Xizhou felt an aura that was extremely poorly concealed. However, this aura seemed to be closely related to Shayu Town, and Xizhou was still unable to locate the specific location of this aura. But he didn't expect it. , this person actually came here to peep tonight, Xizhou was careless." Wang Xizhou looked a little guilty.
Bai Gu quickly waved his hand, "Brother Wang, I can't blame you for this. That person is too cunning. He runs so fast like a loach!"
Wang Xizhou smiled and said, "Xiao Bai, there is no need to comfort Xizhou. I chased him in four realms and lost him in two realms. Who dares to believe this? It is really a disgraceful thing. If you try to persuade me again, Xizhou will really be shameless." See the sun and moon."
Bai Gu scratched his head and suddenly thought of something, "Brother Wang, did you say that the man just ran to the northwest? Are there any towns and forests in the northwest of Shayu Town where he can hide?"
Wang Xizhou immediately replied: "One hundred and thirty-six miles away from here, there is a city named Ruishi. Seventy-four miles away, there is a spruce forest. Forty-eight miles away, there is a village named Shilong. The closest one is, It must be Jiaoyue Mountain, which is only three miles away."
Bai Gu nodded after listening. But he didn't say anything, he just raised his head and glanced at Wang Xizhou.
Wang Xizhou instantly understood what Bai Gu meant and showed hesitation on his face, "Xiao Bai, this can't be possible... there is a mountain god in Jiaoyue Mountain. Xizhou was lucky enough to see it before, at the mountain god festival in Shayu Town, Jiaoyue Mountain. The Mountain God of Yueshan appeared in person to bless the people. How could such a female mountain god who benefits the people allow thieves to set foot on the mountain road? If someone with evil intentions breaks in, I'm afraid they will show up directly and kill them, right?"
"Whether it's the distance or the direction, Jiaoyue Mountain is the most suspicious. As for the female mountain god, it's still unclear whether she blesses the people. There are many people in the story who use the name of benefiting the people to poison all living beings. Things. Besides, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. It is always better to be cautious." Bai Gu expressed his worries.
After hearing this, Wang Xizhou just smiled slightly and said, "Xiaobai, you are worrying too much. The gods of mountains and rivers cultivate merit, do good deeds, build a golden body, and cultivate righteousness. It is nonsense to harbor thieves."
Faced with Wang Xizhou's rebuttal, Bai Gu just asked lightly, "Brother Wang, how long has it been since you last saw that female mountain god?"
Just one sentence choked Wang Xizhou.
Indeed, more than ten years have passed since the last time I came to Shayu Town to participate in the Mountain God Festival and meet the mountain god of Jiaoyue Mountain. No one knows what happened in the past ten years, and no one dares to say that everything is as peaceful and beautiful as it was more than ten years ago.
When a white horse crosses the gap, things change and people change.
Even Wang Xizhou himself did not dare to be absolutely sure that Shayu Town and Jiaoyue Mountain would not undergo any changes in these years, or even... changes.
The smile at the corner of Wang Xizhou's mouth finally became stiff, but his tone was still gentle, "Xiao Bai, it's your first time to travel far away, so it's a good thing to be cautious. But don't be too suspicious, it's easy to misunderstand good people and good things."
"If I can survive, it's not a bad idea." Bai Gu shook his head, "The world is too complicated, and I don't have any strength background. I dare not use my little life to test the good and evil of people's hearts and test the good and bad of things. And I And Xiaoxiao, you only have one life, so you can’t help but experiment at will.”
Wang Xizhou was silent.
He didn't know what Bai Gu had experienced before and what he had done to make a boy who was only a teenager so... disappointed with the world. There is not even a trace of kindness in looking at other people and things, how indifferent.
But as an outsider, it's really hard for him to say anything.
Don't try to persuade others to do good things without knowing their affairs.
If he, Wang Xizhou, tried to persuade Bai Gu now, then all the water, land, oil, and salt he had gained from his mouth over the past decades would be in vain.
Wang Xizhou sighed, "That man Xizhou has his own means to deal with it, so don't worry about it. The Mountain God Festival will be held soon, and you will know how it goes when you try it out. As for Jiaoyue Mountain... think too much about nothing, and worry about something. It’s useless, Xiaobai, you’d better rest early.”
Bai Gu knew that Wang Xizhou should be a little resentful of his words, but it didn't matter.
Even if he had Wang Xizhou as his companion during this journey, Bai Gu would not have a deep friendship with Wang Xizhou just because he could be a close friend.
Wang Xizhou is a good person and can be considered a friend, but he is just a passerby. When we arrived at Black Sheep Mountain, we parted ways. It was still unclear whether we could see each other again in this life. There was no need to be so fake and affectionate now. Who would be disgusting?
Bai Gu didn't want to waste his energy, so he squeezed out some smiles and sprinkled them on useless things.
It's just a waste of expressions.
Sitting with Wang Xizhou with a smile is just because of Wang Xizhou's cultivation in the four realms. He still needs his protection along the way.
Bai Gu smiled and said, "As the old saying goes, when soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover them. I am not afraid, after all, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. I will hide underneath, why are you panicking? It's Brother Wang. If something really happens to you, you have to take two steps forward!"
Wang Xizhou nodded and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, if Xizhou's meager cultivation can stop things, Xizhou's definition will be unavoidable."
"I just don't know how many days are left for the Mountain God Festival. If I make some plans, I can visit Shayu Town and see the world."
Bai Gu deliberately changed the topic in order to prevent the atmosphere from being too embarrassing.
Wang Xizhou knew this, so he followed Bai Gu's words and said, "The shopkeeper just said that the Mountain God Festival will be the day after tomorrow. I will have a day tomorrow to visit Shayu Town."
"Okay, let's wait until the little lazy boy wakes up and visit Shayu Town tomorrow. Then, Brother Wang, you will have to be the tour guide." Bai Gu said with a smile.
Wang Xizhou also smiled, "I can't ask for it."
Bai Gu nodded, "Brother Wang, please rest early, I won't send you away."
"Okay." Wang Xizhou stopped refusing and left calmly.
Bai Gu looked at Wang Xizhou's leaving figure and narrowed his eyes.
Jiaoyue Mountain? nothing?
Let’s hope so.
