After all, a fight and a sudden heavy rain caused the group to miss a lot of time.
In a small town forty miles away from the imperial city, Xiao Hei had to ask the driver to stop. If he went further, he would have to spend the night in the wilderness.
And he wanted to find an inn to cleanse himself from the travel dust.
Although the battle in the small temple did not hurt him, it was contaminated by a lot of smoke and dust. He wanted to soak in a bucket of hot water and have a good sleep.
The town was called Qingfeng, and the coachman found an inn called Guangming.
Xiao Hei first took a hot bath in the house and changed into clean clothes. Then with Gao Yue's support, he sat at the table and waited for the food delivered from the inn.
The coachman went to rest early, and now there were only three guys raising their glasses to the moon.
Xiao Hei looked at the satisfied Gao Yue, shook his head and said: "This guy bribed you so easily, be careful that one day he will be sold without knowing it."
Bai Ling took a sip from the wine glass and said leisurely: "To put it nicely, I worked hard today, and the money I earned is probably not enough to go to the Imperial City."
Xiao Hei shook his head and thought to himself, how much would it cost for you to go to the Imperial City as a fox?
I have my own food and accommodation, and I bought a lot of snacks, enough for you guys to eat.
However, Xiao Hei was a little curious. Could it be that this guy still has a space spiritual weapon?
Of those bandits' money bags, this guy only had one driver and Gao Yue, and the rest were all missing.
Is it possible that there are space spiritual weapons in this world? Or is this guy from another world too?
It seems that only when my brother comes back can we figure out the reason.
The three of them drank two glasses of wine. Gao Yue thought for a moment, looked at Xiao Hei and asked, "Do you think I can be like Qing Yu and become a disciple of an old Taoist priest?"
Bai Ling was obviously stunned when she heard this. She also wanted to see Xiao Hei's final attitude.
Because the old Taoist priest is unfamiliar and far away to her, it is difficult for her to resonate with him. In her eyes, Xiao Hei is powerful enough.
Xiao Hei thought for a while and said: "The old Taoist priest will not stay in the imperial city for long. He will take Qingyu and leave Yecheng all the way to the west. Is it possible that you can leave your hometown?"
After all, Qingyu's relationship with Xiaohei is much deeper, and the two of them have lived life and death together.
The Gao Yue in front of him was just a chance encounter with him, and he was really not much of a friend.
The palace of Dazhou is not Qingyu's home, and even Qingyu doesn't know who her parents are.
In this way, you can practice with the old Taoist priest. As my brother said, the master and the disciple can go wherever they go, and they don't have to go back to Qingniu Mountain.
Gao Yue obviously never thought about running away from home. If the old Taoist priest was willing to stay in Yecheng, she could find a way to stay with them.
Looking at Gao Yue who was worried, Xiao Hei smiled: "You have to think about this clearly. At least the old Taoist priest is the most powerful among the monks I have met."
Bai Ling chuckled when he heard this, looked at Gao Yue and said, "Xiao Hei, don't scare her. By the way, don't people in the world covet glory and wealth? Why do you practice so hard?"
Xiao Hei smiled faintly when he heard this: "Some people waste their lives for that misty treasure, and some people give up everything to pursue their own practice."
"Whether you succeed or fail, it's all a personal choice."
Speaking of this, Xiao Hei suddenly remembered his masters Long Qingfeng and Li Xiuyuan, the only two people who had never advised him on how to practice.
】
Bai Ling poured wine into the cup, raised it and looked at Gao Yue and said, "My mother once told me that if I want to practice, I should treat myself as an orphan, without parents, brothers and sisters..."
Gao Yue felt like being pricked by needles when she heard this, and stared at her blankly for a long time, unable to speak.
After a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Where are your parents later?"
When Gao Yue heard this, he couldn't help but drink up the wine in the glass. Tears flowed down and fell on the table.
After a while, he sighed softly: "My mother died in a natural disaster, my father was killed by his opponent, and my brother also died in the hands of the enemy..."
"Damn it, this revenge must be avenged!"
Gao Yue was so angry that she said loudly: "When my sister becomes more powerful in the future, go and take revenge on them and kill all the bad guys one by one."
Xiao Hei was speechless upon hearing this.
Thinking about the time when I and my brother returned to the cave in the back mountain of Xuantian Temple, the skeleton of the dragon was my previous life.
If he hadn't met his brother, if he hadn't met his master Long Qingfeng, I'm afraid he would have disappeared between heaven and earth in the end. Where would he find his former enemies?
Gao Yue saw Xiao Hei being silent and couldn't help shouting: "When Xiao Hei heals his legs, he can also help his sister get revenge!"
When Xiao Hei heard this, he couldn't help but laugh twice, "Haha!"
Bai Ling sighed and said quietly: "My mother said that cultivating immortality is a road of no return. Now that you have embarked on it, don't think about revenge."
Xiao Hei nodded and said calmly: "When your cultivation is not able to bear the wind and rain on your head, don't think about revenge."
When Bai Ling heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Xiao Hei, you are so awesome!"
Xiao Hei chuckled and murmured: "This is what my brother taught me. He said to run away when you encounter a bad guy who can't be beaten. But I was careless." forgotten……"
In fact, to a certain extent, Xiao Hei's legs were created because of the Queen of Zhou and to protect Qingyu.
If Qingyu hadn't been there that night, he wouldn't have had to fight the Imperial Master of Northern Qi.
Fortunately, this silly sister will be taught by the old Taoist priest in the future. As long as she returns to the imperial city, she will be able to heal her legs in a short time.
As the old monk said, it is better to seek help from others than from yourself.
Originally, I had to wait until my brother came back for my thighs to recover, but later I found out that I could heal my broken legs.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hei looked at the two of them and said seriously: "Remember, in the future, when you encounter a master who cannot beat you, the first thing you will do is turn around and run away. There is no shame in that. Living is the most important thing."
When Bai Ling heard this, he couldn't help wiping his tears and laughing.
He chuckled and said, "If I couldn't remember this, I would have died so many times. Xiao Hei, you are really good!"
Xiao Hei sighed and said: "I have been following my brother all these years, and I almost forgot this sentence. Only these broken legs made me remember it."
Gao Yue sighed and said helplessly: "Let's wait until we return to the imperial city and meet the old Taoist priest."
The guy she wanted to be her disciple had a weird temper and would get angry at her at every turn, otherwise she wouldn't have left home and gone to Jianzhou City to play.
If you follow the old Taoist priest, it is a good choice and you can consider it.
At least, there is a sister Qingyu as a companion. I heard that there is also a senior brother. Think about it, it’s not impossible, right?
Bai Ling sighed and said, "Although I haven't transformed yet, I heard from my mother that a beautiful woman will age easily. If she doesn't practice immortality, she may become very ugly after thirty."
When Gao Yue heard this, she couldn't help but turned to look at Xiao Hei and asked, "Is that so? Xiao Hei?"
"I have no idea!"
Xiao Hei shook his head and thought that the woman he met next to him was not a great monk. A woman like Lian Shuzi who had lived for hundreds of years had not regained her youth with the help of her brother?
It's just that he didn't dare to say this even if he was beaten to death. It was just asking for trouble.
…
The Imperial City of Northern Qi, the backyard of No. 17.
Qingqing looked at Qingyu in front of her, her chin propped up, and she had been staring at it for a long time. Yan'er beside her was also listless and didn't want to say anything.
The old Taoist priest and the old shopkeeper went back to the house early to rest.
Qingyu also stared blankly at the ripe apricot tree outside the living room, thinking why you haven't come back yet. Logically speaking, you should have returned to the imperial city tonight, right?
These two little guys were more difficult to deal with than the other, but within two days, she was already going crazy.
"Sister Qingyu, when will my brother come back?" She asked this question countless times, but Qingqing still couldn't help but ask.
"Woo!" Yan'er and Qingyu roared twice in protest. It was you who took your brother away, so you should pay for my brother.
Qingyu looked at the two little guys and replied sadly: "Didn't you listen to my master? You will be back at noon tomorrow at the latest."
"What if I can't come back?" Qingqing no longer trusts her.
"Ouch!" Xiao Yan'er got angry and roared in anger.
Qingyu sighed and smiled bitterly: "I will ask the master tomorrow, within three days at most. If he doesn't come back, I will take you two to find him."
Speaking of this, Qingyu also became angry.
Touching Qingqing's head, he said, "I didn't expect that the bridge would suddenly break down? Fortunately, our carriage ran fast, otherwise it would have fallen into the rolling torrent."
“Are flash floods scary?”
When Xiao Qingqing heard Qingyu say that he would take her to find her brother in three days, she finally temporarily forgave this hateful guy.
Qingyu smiled bitterly and said: "It's scary that my master is not willing to face such a flash flood. It can't be dealt with by manpower. If you don't believe me, ask your boss tomorrow." grandfather."
"Okay." Qingqing touched Yan'er's head and said, "We will wait for two more days. If we can't wait for brother, sister will take you to find him."
"Woo!"
Yan'er called out twice softly, then lay in her arms and stopped talking.
She remembered what her grandfather said, and her brother would be back when the apricots in the yard were ready to eat.
Grandpa told her today that the apricots on this tree will be ready to eat within three days at most.
She couldn't wait any longer.
…
They say the early bird catches the worm. Although that is true, it depends on whether the worm is willing to get up early.
Xiao Hei, Gao Yue, and Bai Ling in the carriage were each thinking about their own thoughts.
The coachman, who was in a hurry to take the three of them to the Imperial City and then go home, asked the inn clerk to boil a basket of eggs early in the morning. The three of them got into the carriage without even eating and headed all the way to the Imperial City.
Bai Ling peeled off an egg, took a bite carefully, looked at the silent Xiao Hei and asked, "Is it possible that you are still worried about encountering trouble along the way?"
Gao Yue was stunned and blurted out: "There are only dozens of miles left. What kind of trouble can we encounter? Who dares to find trouble near the imperial city?"
In her opinion, anyone who dares to take her trouble near the imperial city is asking for death and has no desire to live.
Xiao Hei didn't take it seriously. The stone bridge suddenly broke out from behind him following the old Taoist priest. Then he met Bai Ling, and another black snake jumped out to eat him.
When he met the bandits again on the bridge, it seemed that God was deliberately against him and did not want him to return to the imperial city quietly.
Last night, a heavy rain washed away the whole world, and the breeze blew softly outside the carriage. Xiao Hei looked at the two guys but had no intention of eating the eggs in the basket.
He was thinking that the almond tree in the yard was about to mature.
If I go back today, I can ask Qingyu to help pick it off and feed it to the two little guys.
If you can't eat the apricots from No. 47 of Dazhou Imperial City, you can still eat the apricots from No. 17 of Northern Qi. It seems to him that the same is true.
His mind is simpler than that of his brother Li Xiuyuan, and he does not focus on the memories of a certain place.
In Xiao Hei's view, as long as there is a place with his brother, he can settle down and feel at ease.
Gao Yue peeled off an egg and handed it to Xiao Hei, smiling and saying, "You will have the strength to take your sister around the imperial city later if you are full."
Bai Ling smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, I have money and I won't spend it on you."
Xiao Hei pointed forward, shook his head, and said quietly: "I'm afraid that someone doesn't want what you want."
