Bai Gu was sitting in the car, with one hand on the seat cushion, and the other hand gently helping Bai Xiaoxiao tidy up her scattered hair, or gently stroking Bai Xiaoxiao's back, so that she could feel more at ease in her dreams. , no need to frown while falling asleep.
Wang Xizhou and Hua Xie sat on opposite sides. They exchanged countless glances along the way, but neither of them spoke.
Bai Gu lowered his eyes and looked at the sleeping Bai Xiaoxiao with tenderness in his eyes, "I wrote a letter and asked Shopkeeper Qi to send it to Yunshui City on my behalf. As for the result, I don't know."
Wang Xizhou and Hua Xie were stunned.
They didn't expect that Bai Gu himself would take the initiative to bring up the matter, but it was good, so they didn't have to rack their brains to think about how to start.
What Wang Xizhou was thinking more about was that Bai Gu would take the initiative to help Lian Feng.
You must know that when they first met, the two were very unhappy. Lian Feng even wanted to kill Bai Gu, but he stopped him.
Moreover, when Guan Dahu and I went to beg Bai Gu that day, the effect was not good, and it even felt like it was counterproductive.
Although Guan Dahu told Wang Xizhou later that Bai Gu went to Lian Feng at night and the two had a conversation alone, Wang Xizhou still didn't think Bai Gu would take action against Lian Feng.
Just from dealing with the matter of worshiping the mage in Shayu Town, Wang Xizhou knew that Bai Gu seemed to be an ignorant young man, but in fact his inner world was like a yin and yang diagram.
The white color walking under the sun is the part of Bai Gu that is gentle, humble and kind to others. The black color is dark and unclear, which is the viciousness, meanness and sharpness hidden in Bai Gu's character.
Such a personality gave Wang Xizhou a headache.
The viciousness is true, and it can be seen from the extent of Bai Gu's attacks. I'm just afraid that Bai Gu's usual gentle demeanor is just an act!
The yin and yang diagram in Bai Gu's heart is actually a quagmire filled with disguised white mist!
He was able to disguise himself to this extent at such a young age. If he was allowed to develop, he would never dare to imagine it in the future.
But Wang Xizhou was still very grateful to Bai Gu for helping Lian Feng. He immediately bowed slightly, cupped his hands and said, "On behalf of brother Lian Feng, Xizhou would like to thank Xiao Bai for his kindness in advance."
Bai Gu waved his hand, "This kind of thing cannot be replaced. If I can really help him, then he will owe me a life, and it will not be an exaggeration to pay for it with his life. But compared to Brother Wang, your words are so light. It’s much better to say thank you. If I can’t help, then even if my letter is in vain, Brother Wang, your thank you today will be in vain.”
"What Xiaobai said is absolutely true. Xizhou didn't think carefully."
Bai Gu still didn't raise his head, "I helped him, not out of gratitude, but out of sympathy. It's kind of like... feeling sympathy for the same person."
Hua Xie raised her eyebrows slightly, and just when she was about to ask some gossip, she was glared back by Wang Xizhou, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Brother Lianfeng had a rough life, but fortunately there were noble people to help him. One was the farmer, and the other," Wang Xizhou paused, "is you, Xiaobai."
Wang Xizhou has some friendship with Lian Feng, so he knows some things about Lian Feng.
Including his life experience.
"There are some things that you still need to do yourself, and others can't do it for you. And it would be a pity if you couldn't do it until you die. If you die because of this, it is considered your fate, and you can't complain."
Wang Xizhou nodded and agreed with Bai Gu's words.
"So... Xiaobai, do you want Brother Lianfeng?"
Bai Gu suddenly raised his head and glanced at Wang Xizhou, "If his mouth still smells so bad that night, or if he doesn't speak at all, I will just take the sword and stab him to death. He is a sword cultivator, and I happen to have something in my hand. Jian, he is not aggrieved to send him on his way. But if he is willing to speak those words to me, then I have to listen. I always rely on my feelings when doing things. I just feel that he should not die now. If he wants to die, he will die. On the way to fulfilling my wish, that would not be aggrieved. But this does not mean that I have changed my opinion of him as a person. I am still not interested in him."
After saying that, Bai Gu lowered his eyes again and looked at Bai Xiaoxiao tenderly.
Wang Xizhou's eyes were dark and thoughtful.
Hua Xie had a confused look on his face and his eyes kept wandering around the two of them.
Hey, no, what are you two talking about? Why didn't I understand a word of it?
There is a panting person in the car!
You two, stop playing riddles on your own and take care of the feelings of my fellow traveler!
There is no such thing as you!

"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, why Mr. Wu is so optimistic about that kid? He helped him again and again, I really can't figure it out." Qiu Zizai squatted in a courtyard, holding a dog in his mouth Tai Cao held his chin in his hands, speechlessness and confusion written all over his face.
An old man in purple robe stood beside Qiu Zizai, his hands behind his back.
The old man has white hair and silver eyebrows, a kind face, and a very celestial spirit.
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. It will only increase your worries." The old man said with a smile.
Qiu Zizai turned the dog's tail grass in his mouth to the other side, and then said in a dull tone: "The young Taoist has a shallow cultivation, short-sightedness, and cannot see the truth clearly. Can the old sage give some advice to the younger generation?"
The purple-robed old man chuckled and answered the question, "Shallow cultivation? That's you. Others won't say it so easily."
"This is a fact. In front of the old sage, Xiaodao's meager cultivation is not worth mentioning."
"As far as face is concerned, no one in Yunshui City can be better than you now."
"Thank you, old sage, for your compliment."
"You really are, if there is a pole, just follow it."
Qiu Zizai wrinkled his nose and said aggrievedly, "Old sage, please don't change the subject. You haven't answered Xiaodao's question yet."
The old man in purple robe lowered his head and glanced at Qiu Zizai, "There are some things, please don't ask around."
"Xiaodao just can't stand that kid's bad temper, and even more envies him why he has such good luck. Mr. Wu, the old guy, and the boss of Yaojiu Pavilion, these people are all standing behind that kid, and they feel uncomfortable looking at him."
"You dare to say anything, but be careful that trouble comes from your mouth."
Qiu Zizai said sadly: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, the current situation of Xiaodao is that even if it breaks away from the shackles and returns to the top, it will still be squeezed and flattened by others. It's better to just do whatever you want and say whatever you want. If you have too many worries, you will bring trouble on yourself. comfortable."
The old man in purple robe smiled and said nothing.
Qiu Zizai raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched out a hand to cover his eyes.
The weather is good today. The sun is shining brightly, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
"Old sage, can you see clearly the real details of that kid? No matter how you look at him, there is always a layer of mist covering this kid's body, and you can't figure it out. It's really a headache."
The purple-robed old man glanced at Qiu Zizai again, "Are you so curious?"
"Always have a desire for knowledge. Isn't this the greatest respect for seeking the truth?"
"But there are some things that are best not known. Curiosity is a cat that can kill nine lives."
"He who hears the Tao in the morning will die in the evening. I am ignorant of the Tao, so I am fearless."
"A Taoist heart is as pure as glass and as solid as rock. It is rare to see."
Qiu Zizai chuckled, "Thank you, old sage, for the compliment."
The purple-robed old man raised his head and looked in a certain direction, "Don't you already know? Why do you need to verify something here? Do you want to confirm something?"
Qiu Zizai sighed softly, "The chess game in the world has become a settled matter, and there must be an odd number to break the deadlock. Xiaodao just saw that they were so optimistic about that kid, so he wanted to touch that kid's bottom and see what the odd number was. not him."
"No." The old man in purple robe didn't even think about it, and just gave the answer to Qiu Zizai, "There is someone else who is the odd number, and it's not him."
Qiu Zizai was a little surprised, "Not him? What about Mr. Wu and the others?"
"Don't ask for anything, everyone has their own thoughts." The old man in purple robe looked towards the south of the city and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, you don't mind if I say this, right?"
There was a sound of laughter in the courtyard, "Sage, you are just telling the truth. Why should I be angry? Come to Cheung Chau Pharmacy for a chat when you have time. I have good tea here and hot pot is always ready."
"It's easy to talk. Since Mr. Wu warmly invites you, how can I not accept it?"
Qiu Zizai let out a cry, "Mr. Wu, we need to eat hot pot to warm ourselves up on the trail. It's too cold."
"Get out of here." There was an angry voice in the air.
"Oh, Mr. Wu, when you talk like this, it hurts Xiaodao's heart."
"Who cares about you?"
After saying these words, the atmosphere in the courtyard had dissipated, and Qiu Zizai didn't even wait for the next disgusting words to come out of his mouth. For example, Xiaodao's fragile and delicate heart will be deeply hurt by your words that are as cold as the cold spring. It has fallen, and has been patched for a long time. It cannot be cured except by an armchair woven with ten thousand-year-old dragon heart vine. Of course, there are other things such as the pure water lotus heart on the Wanzhang Tianshan Mountain, the immortal iron wood deep in the A Shen Valley, or a certain furnace of elixir that you personally refined, Mr. Wu, it is also possible. Xiaodao is tolerant. There is no such thing as picky words.
Alas, Ming Yue really doesn't know her true intentions, and Mr. Wu also doesn't know the subtleties and is tactful.
What a shame.
Tsk tsk tsk.

Guan Dahu's hands were trembling, but he still held the sandalwood box in his hands steadily.
Because this is the only way to save Lian Feng at the moment.
Lian Feng was lying on the bed, his eyes dull, but his tone was still calm and powerful, "Don't waste your energy. I know what I am like. This life is over. There is no need to waste favors and luck that will be useful in the future for me." .”
Guan Dahu took a deep breath, "You are one of the few friends I have, and you are also the best dead brother. If it were me lying on the bed now, I believe you would try your best to save me."
Lian Feng was choked by Guan Dahu's words and was speechless, so he simply closed his mouth and said nothing.
Guan Dahu took another deep breath, suppressed his inner excitement, stretched out a hand and slowly opened the sandalwood box.
There was no aura overflowing as imagined, nor a strong aura stirring, only two simple long wooden plaques, a small porcelain vase, and a piece of white rice paper folded in half lying quietly among them.
Guan Dahu placed the sandalwood box on the table beside him, picked up the rice paper, and opened it carefully.
What caught my eye were two sentences.
The elixir in the bottle can delay your life for a month.
The way to save your life lies in the gentian grave.
Guan Dahu's hands trembled for a moment, and then this strong man who refused to retreat in the face of the phantom of the Dao Realm woman, even if he was seriously injured, did not say a word. At this moment, he couldn't hold back, so he rolled down two lines of hot tears and began to sob.
Lian Feng turned his head slightly and saw the content on the rice paper, and finally there was an indescribable expression on his face.
He remembered the last words Bai Gu said before leaving that night.
"Brother Guan has been thinking a lot about you. Even if you are going to die, you have to pay off these things before you die. Otherwise, can you die with peace of mind? Also, you have to avenge your parents' revenge yourself. You have to leave before you leave. What does it matter if you die or let others help you? You are a sword cultivator, don't let yourself die in such a painful way."
