As the morning light faded and the sun got higher, Bai Gu went downstairs to have breakfast.
Wang Xizhou also happened to order a bowl of wontons and two steamed buns, and sat at the same table to eat.
When Bai Gu finished his bowl of beef noodles and was about to get the wontons, he caught sight of a slightly obscene figure from the corner of his eye.
"Brother Hua, it's morning. You should have breakfast too."
"Ah, morning." Hua Xie yawned and ordered breakfast.
Hua Xie glanced at the large and small bowls in front of Bai Gu. Even though he had been looking at them for so many days, his eyelids still couldn't help but twitch.
Did this guy starve to death and be reincarnated as a ghost? I eat so much every day and I don’t see anyone getting taller or fatter!
The intestines are straight, right?
Bai Gu took one bun in his mouth, and after swallowing it, he looked at Hua Xie, "Brother Hua, why didn't you come back last night? Where did you go to find out the gossip?"
Wang Xizhou also stopped what he was doing and looked at Hua Xie.
"Why are you looking at me? Especially you, Lao Wang. If it weren't for you, would I have waited until dawn before coming back? I blame you for this." Hua Xie took his bowl of tofu and added some After blowing on some chili oil, I picked up a spoonful and put it into my mouth.
Bai Gu turned his attention to Wang Xizhou.
"It's so late? It's just a tetsuji. It shouldn't take that long, right?" Wang Xizhou frowned slightly.
Yesterday, Wang Xizhou asked Hua Xie to pick out the tendons of the freckled girl and then send her to the medical clinic to have the tendons repaired.
To pick on her tendons is a small punishment but to send her to a hospital for treatment is a sign of reluctance.
"It's just a matter of taking over the tendon. That guy also wants to pester me and ask me to leave some medical expenses before I can leave. Otherwise, he will cause trouble and make it impossible for me to leave."
Wang Xizhou's brows deepened, "Then you..."
"How could I be so arrogant? I'm just going to fight with her to see who can outlast the other." Hua Xie shrugged, "She couldn't stand up to me. She fell down and fell asleep before the fourth watch, so I just came back."
Bai Gu ate another bun, "Why don't you just show off your cultivation and kill her with the spirit to give her face?"
"I know, so I gave her a slap before leaving, almost waking her up." Hua Xie thought for a while, "You slapped the right cheek, so I slapped the other side to avoid asymmetry and disfigurement. .”
Bai Gu nodded, "Indeed, otherwise it wouldn't look good if only one side was swollen."
Wang Xizhou was silent for a while while listening to the conversation between the two.
Are you afraid of being disfigured when you slap someone? You two are really doing good things!
But Wang Xizhou didn't speak.
He really had no say in the matter of the freckled girl.
Wang Xizhou once passed by a small town and saw a similar scene, but he was not deeply involved in the world at the time and naively wanted to reason with the other party and tell the truth. It's just that the other party didn't give him a chance to argue at all, and directly slapped a big pot of molestation on his head, slandering him as a gangster. When we got to the government, the local officials were also ignorant and incompetent. They didn't talk about evidence and regulations. They just took the other side's word and decided to close the case on the spot. Not only did they fine Wang Xizhou one hundred taels of silver as settlement money, but they also threw him into prison for a year.
After this incident, Wang Xizhou did not dare to discuss similar matters at will, let alone get involved. Helping Bai Gu to rescue him was also due to the rules of Shanshui Square and Bai Gu's identity. Moreover, Wang Xizhou hesitated for a long time before deciding to help him.
Wang Xizhou also wanted to see how Bai Gu, who was born in a poor family and had a surly personality, would deal with it.
The result was beyond his expectation and he benefited a lot.
At that time, Wang Xizhou was also silenced by the sentence "Who would use a woman's innocence to slander others", and it ended miserably. Bai Gu's response yesterday evening may sound like a rogue and has no bottom line, but it is indeed applicable.
To deal with a rogue is to use an even more rogue method to deal with him.
If someone splashes dirty water on you, you should poop on the spot, mix it up, and then splash it back with even dirtier water. Don't think it's too dirty, our main thing is to have something for everyone.
Wang Xizhou didn't know how to evaluate Bai Gu's approach, but it was at least the most useful method he had ever seen.
But Wang Xizhou would not do that.
Wang Xizhou has his own bottom line, and there is a white line above the bottom line. In his daily behavior, he keeps away from even the white line, let alone the bottom line?
He didn't want to cross the line.
Literary character, clean and self-sufficient.
Wang Xizhou watched what a rogue like Bai Gu did, but he didn't know how to do it and didn't bother to do it.
Until Wang Xizhou finds an approach that suits his literary character, he will not get too involved in similar things. Even if people around him are involved, Wang Xizhou will only consider one or two things, and depending on the situation, he can take action or protect himself wisely.
It's not that Wang Xizhou is good at calculation, but that he believes in a word.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
You can save others, but don't let yourself get into trouble.
Wang Xizhou looked back and continued eating his breakfast.
Hua Xie's face now showed a hesitant look.
Bai Gu took a bite of the steamed bun with soy sauce and said, "Brother Hua, if you have something to say, just say it. It's not good to keep it in your stomach. If it's inconvenient for me to be here, I can move to a different position first."
"No, this matter has nothing to do with you." Hua Xie pursed his lips and took out a bamboo slip from his arms, "I met a man on the way back, he was also a landscape man, and I got a landscape painting from him. Yan Chao."
Bai Gu was curious, "What is this?"
"Shanshui Yanchao is a medium for transmitting news. It is mostly used to convey events on the mountain. It is very fast and very popular." Wang Xizhou paused, "There are three levels of Shanshui Yanchao, white, blue, and gold. Like the Shanshui Yanchao in Xiao Xie's hand, it is a blue Shanshui Yanchao, which shows that the matter involved is very important."
Bai Gu looked at the blue stripes on the bamboo slips and nodded.
"Did something big happen? Let Xizhou take a look."
Hua Xie's side of the body avoided Wang Xizhou's outstretched hand, "This... you have to be mentally prepared first. I, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it."
Wang Xizhou had doubts in his eyes, "Is it possible that the major event here is related to Xizhou?"
Hua Xie licked his lips with his tongue, and licked off the chili oil that had just touched his mouth, "So..."
Wang Xizhou frowned, and Bai Gu also looked at Hua Xie curiously.
Hua Xie couldn't stand the gazes of the two people, so she had to hand out the bamboo slip in her hand, "Here, here, take a look, but first, you must be mentally prepared, otherwise your graceful image will be shattered." The ground."
Wang Xizhou smiled and took the bamboo slip, "Xizhou try his best..."
But before Wang Xizhou finished speaking, he froze on the spot, and the original calm look on his face instantly faded, replaced by a dead silence and gloom.
Seeing this, Bai Gu snatched the bamboo slip from Wang Xizhou's hand.
After these few days of study, Bai Gu memorized a lot of words. In addition, there was not much content on the bamboo slips, so he read the contents at a glance.
Bai Gu couldn't help but change his face.
Yumi Mountain was leveled, the mountain god was dying, and the rest of the mountains and rivers god's official offices, Fangyuan Mountain, Xisha Jian, and the reinforcements of the scattered cultivators were all dead.
In just a few dozen words, the aura exuding between the lines was extremely tragic.
The mountains were leveled, all the mountain and water gods were dead, even the mountain gods were dying, and the realm of Yumi Mountain was completely destroyed.
What was once a great Feng Shui treasure land turned into a deserted and dead place overnight.
To put it mildly, this is a major disaster when a mountain is destroyed, and the surrounding landscape and luck will be affected to a greater or lesser extent. As for whether it is good or bad, we can only get a glimpse of it in the next hundred years.
On a grand scale, if there is a loophole in the operation of one side of the world, just like a person's severed finger is constantly bleeding, the spiritual power, luck, and avenue between the heaven and the earth will continue to leak, and even cause irreversible losses, until the whole world collapses. Bad, eliminated.
But Bai Gu didn't think so much.
Because he only noticed two places.
Fangyuan Mountain.
All the reinforcements died.
The tall man Duan Qie I met not long ago was the Feng Traveler from Fangyuan Mountain, who was ordered to go to Yumi Mountain to provide support.
Wang Xizhou's face was dark, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Not long ago, the friend with whom he had a good time and had a good drink was now a cold word on a small bamboo slip?
How can it be!
The veins on the back of Wang Xizhou's hands popped out, disappeared and popped up again, but it was breakfast time and people were coming and going in the lobby of the inn. Wang Xizhou didn't want to lose his composure in front of others, so he put down the spoon in his hand and silently turned around and went upstairs.
Bai Gu looked at Wang Xizhou's leaving figure with mixed feelings in his heart.
Bai Gu looked at Hua Xie again, "Brother Hua, tell me, is it possible..."
Hua Xie knew what Bai Gu wanted to say, so he shook his head and said, "You think too much, it's impossible."
"What if?"
"I have seen the mountain god of Yumi Mountain from a distance. With his own strength and the fact that he sits in Yumi Mountain, he can be regarded as a strong man in the Tao realm. Moreover, the mountain and water gods are very capable, even those who are higher than one realm. The power of a battle." Hua Xie sighed softly, "Even such a mountain god is seriously injured and dying. The other mountains and rivers gods' offices in Yumi Mountain and all the reinforcements are dead. Do you think that friend of Lao Wang, I heard that he is Pi In the mortal realm, what are the chances of survival?"
Hua Xie paused, "Unless the Feng Traveler did not participate in the support, but according to what Lao Wang said before, this big brother is very responsible, so this should not be possible."
Bai Gu's face had a sad look on his face, and he felt very sad in his heart.
Although Bai Gu only knew Duan Che for a few days, his heroic and enthusiastic character left a deep impression on Bai Gu. If they could get along for a while, Bai Gu might be able to become good friends with Duan Qe.
Bai Gu just felt that Duan Che was a good person and shouldn't have died like this.
What a shame to die.
Bai Gu stared at the bamboo slips in his hand, his heart churning.
People like the freckled girl who spits shit, has a dirty heart, and is morally corrupt are the ones who deserve to die. Duan Qie is not a bad person, even if he is going to die, it is too early now.
The book says that good people don't live long, but disasters last for thousands of years. This is true, but it really shouldn't be true.
If all good people suffer short-term consequences, who would be willing to be a doormat in the long run?
Hua Xie lost the mood to continue eating, stood up and left, "I'm going to see Lao Wang."
Before leaving, Hua Xie sighed: "What a wonderful traveler, what a pity."
