Hu Lu felt that she had had another dream.
In the dream, Zhang Xiaoyu sat by the river for the whole winter, and then left Nanyi City in the evening when the spring breeze began to blow slowly.
He wanted to chase him, but he tripped on the ground and even hurt his chin. When he raised his head, Zhang Xiaoyu didn't look back.
Just resolutely and without hesitation, walking farther and farther in the swaying spring breeze of all things.
Fortunately, this dream did not continue. Hu Lu was shocked into a cold sweat and sat up from the bed.
The wind and snow howled outside the window.
With lingering fear, Hu Lu walked to the window in her underwear and stared blankly for a long time. Then she saw Zhang Xiaoyu and the senior brothers from Jiang Hehai walking in from the back door of Jianzong near Sanchi, arm in arm. Maybe they were aware of it. Seeing Hu Lu's frightened gaze, Zhang Xiaoyu raised his head, looked at the young man in the small building by the pool, smiled and waved.
Waving sometimes doesn't necessarily mean goodbye.
It may also be to show what is in hand.
Zhang Xiaoyu held a piece of oil paper wrapped in his hand and chewed half of the sugar and oil cake.
Hu Lu then smiled happily, walked back to the bed, put on his clothes, and walked down with his sword on his back.
Zhang Xiaoyu was downstairs, squatting by the third pond covered with thick snow, watching the fish swimming in the pond.
The Human Sword Sect did not deliberately raise fish, but the ponds were connected by many streams and connected to Nanyi City. Sometimes some fish would run in.
Just like Zhang Xiaoyu ran in.
"Senior brother, you are still here."
Hu Lu walked over with a sword on his back and squatted down next to Zhang Xiaoyu.
Zhang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and said with a strange expression: "What do you mean I'm still here? If I'm not here, then where am I?"
Hu Lu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either, but I dreamed that my senior brother was walking along the Nanyi River."
Zhang Xiaoyu finished chewing the sugar and oil cake, then put the oil paper in his hand under the stone beside him, then rubbed his hands, stood up, and said, "Why do you keep having such dreams every day?"
Hu Lu sighed and said: "How do I know? It's probably because I was frightened before, so I have been uneasy these days."
Zhang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "That's just right. Senior Brother Huaifeng should be back soon today. Let him make you a cup of calming tea then."
"That's okay." Hu Lu nodded, then was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said, "What did senior brother just say?"
Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Senior Brother Huai Feng is coming back. Yesterday we received Senior Brother's sword book, saying that we will probably arrive at the Sword Sect today, maybe it will be here soon."
Hu Lu quickly stood up and pulled Zhang Xiaoyu towards Erchi.
The second pond is the closest place to the gate of Jianzong. The two passed through the snowy paths of the ponds and appeared at the gate of Jianzong in the human world.
Unfortunately, maybe it was still too early. Hu Lu opened the door and when he looked there, there was nothing but the howling wind and snow outside.
Hu Lu retracted her head with some disappointment, looked at Zhang Xiaoyu who was smiling behind the door, and said, "Senior brother, you didn't lie to me."
Zhang Xiaoyu said: "What am I lying to you for? It's just that one day is a long time. Brother Huaifeng just said he would come back today. It might be early morning, it might be evening, or even later. It was almost late at night when he walked through the dusty snow and knocked on the door."
Hu Lu nodded thoughtfully. When Zhang Xiaoyu came back, he lay down in the concierge and slept.
When you don't know, you won't feel so tortured.
Hu Lu walked to the door of Jianzong and sat down in front of the snow steps, just like before.
Zhang Xiaoyu took the stove out of the concierge and placed it under the eaves.
"Senior Brother Mei said that you just caught a cold in the snow last time, so you should sit in for a while."
Hu Lu nodded and moved her buttocks back. During the heavy snow, the stove was burning brightly, and the warmth was extremely vivid.
Not long after the two of them sat down, Jiang Ye ran to the door of Jianzong wearing an apron and carrying a spatula to poke his head around.
"What are you doing sitting here? With the door open, I thought it was Senior Brother Huai Feng who came back secretly."
Jiang Ye said angrily.
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Hu Lu wants to wait here, so I will stay here with him."
Jiang Ye nodded and gave Hu Lu another instruction.
"Be careful, don't catch another cold."
"I know, I know, senior brother, your food is burned." Hu Lu said, covering her ears and shaking her head.
Zhang Xiaoyu and Jiang Ye looked at each other and smiled, and then the latter walked into the Sword Sect and cooked his food again.
This made Hu Lu even more convinced that Chen Huaifeng was coming back today.
The last time Zhang Xiaoyu came back, he was in the same manner, cooking a table of good food, but today he probably won't be serving a table of good wine, and will most likely prepare some wolfberry tea.
Hu Lu was thinking wildly there, and then found that Zhang Xiaoyu stood up at some point and looked at the wind and snow in the distance. A sword light came from the wind and snow and fell into Zhang Xiaoyu's hand.
That is a sword letter.
Hu Lu's heart skipped a beat.
Senior brother Huai Feng will not come back again.
Hu Lu just started to think this way when she heard Zhang Xiaoyu say softly: "It seems that Senior Brother Huaifeng will not be back today."
Hu Lu sat there a little disappointed, without saying anything. He got up, picked up the stove, and headed to the concierge.
But I heard Zhang Xiaoyu say with a smile: "He wants to marry a wife in the world and then come back."
The iron stove hit the ground with a clang.
Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at Hu Lu.
"If you break the stone slab, you can repair it."
Hu Lu didn't pay attention to these details and ran over to look at the sword book in Zhang Xiaoyu's hand.
Let me see what's going on?
Hu Lu stretched his head and saw the content above.
Chen Huaifeng said that he met a girl he liked very much on the way back and decided to marry her in the human world before coming back.
Zhang Xiaoyu was indeed not joking.
Hu Lu stood there stunned.
Is Senior Brother Huai Feng really going to get a wife?
How does it feel like a dream?
Hu Lu didn't react for a long time. Zhang Xiaoyu had already put away the sword book and stood there with a smile.
After a long time, Hu Lu finally laughed.
Of course this is a good thing!
The only pity is probably the table of delicious dishes that Jiang Ye carefully prepared today.
...
When the sword letter was sent to the Human Sword Sect, Jiang Ye was indeed cooking in the early morning.
But it was not to welcome Chen Huaifeng back, but to see Nan Dequ off.
The sword book comes from the Lingnan sword sect.
No one knows why a sword letter came from Lingnan at this time.
Only when Jiang Hehai, the concierge who first received the sword book, stood at the door in shock after reading the sword book.
Mei Quming and the others realized something was wrong.
He took the sword book from Jiang Hehai and looked at it with a frown.
It's just that no matter who reads such a story, they will fall into hasty silence.
It was a sword book from Lingnan about Shanyue City.
Mei Quming's hands were shaking a little. Even though the winter snow had passed for a long time, the Sword Sect brother still felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Junior brother...what on earth is he doing?"
Mei Quming murmured.
This sword letter directly brought the entire Sword Sect back to the winter.
Nan Dequ, who had prepared his luggage and put it aside, recovered from his shock and said softly: "It doesn't matter what he is doing. The important thing is that we can't call him junior brother anymore."
Both Mei Quming and Jiang Hehai realized this problem at that moment.
If Cong Ren had died thousands of years ago, the matter between the Sword Sect and the Monster Clan in the human world would naturally not have such a deep connection. However, Cong Ren is still in the human world, but not in the Sword Sect.
Anything unknown, under the sudden change, will become a kind of speculation that scares the world.
When Jiang Ye came over with a smile and planned to ask the brothers to eat, he saw such a scene.
So he put away those smiles instantly, looked at everyone with a solemn expression and said, "What happened."
Mei Quming handed the sword letter in his hand to Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye was also shocked, but he quickly reacted, took off his apron, wiped his hands, then picked up his green vegetable sword from the side and hurried out of the Sword Sect.
"I'll go find the dean."
As a big demon in the south, the Prime Minister naturally needs to inform you about such a thing.
A room full of brothers and sisters stood there in silence and fear.
With a table of delicious food like that, no one would touch it.
Jiang Ye turned into sword light and walked away. Even the people in the spring breeze on the road were startled. They didn't know what happened to make this Sword Sect disciple look in such a hurry.
When he arrived at Xuanxuyuan, Qing Xiang was planning to go out to buy wine.
The two met in the alley.
Qing Xiang looked at Jiang Ye who was falling in the alley with a look of horror, and said slowly: "What happened? Did old boy Cong Ren also die in the East China Sea?"
Jiang Ye sheathed his sword, looked at the great human demon in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Something happened in the human world."
Just such a simple sentence made Qing Xiang put away his previous careless expression, and subconsciously held the hanging jade around his waist.
"what happened?"
The sword book thing is very simple.
Just two rough sentences.
But Jiang Ye was at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to speak.
Looking at the prime minister in white clothes in front of him, Jiang Ye took a deep breath, and then finally admitted something, saying slowly: "The Lame Deer Sword Sect incident was done by my junior brother."
The prime minister suddenly raised his head and looked to the north of the world.
The spring breeze in the alley is gone.
Only countless demonic powers that stirred with the mind were left, impacting in the moss-mottled alley.
Jiang Ye also looked at the man in front of him in shock.
Yes, even if he has just begun to return to the road.
After all, this is a thousand-year-old demon.
A contemporary of himself, Kusana Kamikawa.
Qing Xiang lowered his head and looked at Jiang Ye in front of him with a solemn expression.
"How did you know?"
Jiang Ye said slowly: "Junior brother went to Shanyue City and released the news himself. Shanyue City asked Lingnan for help, and Lingnan sent the sword book to the Human Sword Sect."
The minister in the alley finally understood some of the truth of the story, and also knew how that story would make waves again.
The two walked out of the alley and walked through the long secluded street, watching the people coming and going in the spring breeze.
There was a long silence.
"It would be best if Shanyue City could block that news."
Jiang Ye said softly.
The Prime Minister said calmly: "I know what you are thinking, but since Zhang Xiaoyu has done such a thing, he can no longer be a disciple of the Human Sword Sect. The friendship between brothers must be treated as if it has never existed before." Pass."
This big demon in white clothes in the spring breeze turned to look at Jiang Ye, his voice was cold.
"Don't try to gamble, you are gambling with the world."
"The Human Sword Sect will completely remove Zhang Xiaoyu from the list."
Jiang Ye was silent for a while and said slowly.
"This is not enough, Jiang Ye." Qing Xiang said in a deep voice, "Next, the Human Sword Sect needs to start chasing Zhang Xiaoyu."
"If the matter is leaked, no matter what, the world will feel that there is a shadow of the Human Sword Sect in it."
Jiang Ye didn't know why, but he still wanted to fight for something.
The prime minister sneered.
The world has probably never seen such a minister.
"A shadow is better than everything being implemented. Even if the world really thinks this is a signal from the Sword Sect in the world, when you put on a posture of Zhang Xiaoyu will not stop fighting, it is better than doing nothing and standing there in silence. Be better, Jiang Ye, the situation now is different from before." Qing Xiang said in a cold voice, "Everything is in a fog, and the Sword Sect in the world cannot act rashly, but now it is obvious that Zhang Xiaoyu wants to put this kind of situation into effect. When fire is burning on Jian Zong’s head, how do you think silence can stop the world’s mouths?”
Jiang Ye was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "I don't want Hu Lu to wake up and find that his senior brother Xiaoyu has become an enemy of the Sword Sect."
The prime minister was silent for a while, and then said softly: "He must learn to accept some things."
After a brief silence, the two looked at the world again.
Jiang Ye said softly: "Then just follow what the dean said."
The prime minister said nothing more and stood on the street, looking at the mediocre people coming and going for a long time.
No one knows how many there are, they are the same kind of monsters as the human beings.
What a Zhang Xiaoyu.
The big demon in white had murderous intent in his eyes.
No one thought that human stories would develop in this direction.
Fortunately, Nanyi City has a prime minister and a human sword sect, so there won't be any big trouble. Even if the news does reach Nanyi City, the prime minister will be able to suppress the turbulent demon clan.
It's just human affairs that are beyond the control of the prime minister.
Prime Minister Qing looked at Jiang Ye who was standing aside, and said calmly: "Go to the Tonggui Monument and tell the world the decision of the Sword Sect in the World."
Tonggui Monument is a place with special meaning.
The huge hanging monument on the tomb mountain represents the beginning of the two races' coexistence.
This is a place guarded by the Human Sword Sect.
"The world may have guessed something, telling such news in such a place."
The Prime Minister said slowly: "It's just to let them guess something. It's better to have a premonition in advance than to be suddenly drowned by the waves of rumors."
...
The people in Nanyi City were very surprised. Today was not a festival, and it was not yet the time for the All Souls' Day ceremony. Why did everyone from the Human Sword Sect go to the center of Nanyi City, on the tomb hill surrounded by the river.
When they rushed over to watch the excitement, they saw the Sword Sect disciples heading towards the top of Tomb Mountain with their swords on their backs.
"Did something happen? I see that the expressions of those Sword Sect disciples are not very good. They are even worse than when Hu Lu had the accident that day."
"I don't know. Could it be that something happened to Master Congren? It seems that he hasn't been heard from in the human world for a long time."
People gathered around the river, whispering.
The thoughtful person looked up at the tombstone on the top of the tomb mountain, and maybe thought of something, but such a thing was too shocking, and they didn't dare to think about it anymore, so they simply remained silent.
Waiting to see what those Sword Sect disciples are going to do.
After a long time, the disciples of the Sword Sect walked heavily to the tomb mountain, crossed the numerous green tombstones, stood in the spring breeze on the top of the mountain, and looked up at the name on the monument for a long time.
Jiang Ye carried the sword on his back and turned around, looking solemnly at the people who were constantly disturbed by the news and were flocking here.
It was completely dark outside the mountain.
The atmosphere was far heavier than that night.
People fell silent.
The entire Nanyi City was as silent as a cicada.
No one knows what kind of thing it is that requires the human sword sect to go to the tomb mountain in such a big way.
Jiang Ye looked at the crowd for a long time, then looked down at the blue stone tablets, and then sighed softly in his heart.
"From today..."
Jiang Ye looked towards the human world.
"The Sword Sect in the World and Zhang Xiaoyu in the Mountain and River View."
"Till death."
The whole city was in an uproar.
No one expected Jiang Ye to suddenly announce such news on the tomb mountain.
And Zhang Xiaoyu in Jiang Ye’s words.
Not Zhang Xiaoyu, the human sword sect.
But watch Zhang Xiaoyu in the mountains and rivers.
What happened to the white-clothed swordsman who once fought bloody battles for Nanyi City to cause the Human Sword Sect to make such a decision even if Cong Ren no longer exists?
People have all kinds of puzzles in their hearts, but they haven't had time to ask anything yet.
Then there was a more solemn voice, coming from the tall buildings on the side of the tomb mountain river.
"The same goes for Xuanxuyuan."
People turned their heads and looked there, only to find that not only the Human Sword Sect, but also people from the Xuansheyuan were also there.
The Prime Minister stood there with a cold look on his face. He did not drink alcohol or scold his mother, so he was naturally intimidating.
People stood there in fear.
For a while, no one asked what was going on.
You know, even when Hu Lu was almost sent to the River Styx with a sword by the young swordsman from Lingnan, the Prime Minister never acted like this.
After a long time, a certain big demon who opened a poker hall in the human world stood up in the crowd, saluted towards the tomb mountain and the tall building, and said solemnly: "You can ask the dean and fellow seniors what happened. What happened?"
Jiang Ye said nothing and turned to look at the prime minister in the tall building.
The latter just said in an extremely cold voice: "Because he deserves to die."
Nanyi City was silent.
The great human demon bowed, retreated into the crowd, and fell silent.
The prime minister looked around at Nanyi City and said calmly: "From today on, Xuanxuyuan and the Human Sword Sect will take over Nanyi City again."
Only then did people see the temporary city lord appointed by Huaidu last year behind the prime minister.
The Lord of Nanyi City naturally has no sense of existence.
The story of Tomb Hill is not long.
Even extremely short-lived.
Just a few words.
However, everyone in the world felt that a storm was coming.
