Still in Bai Yuankai's room, this time there were two more people, Zhou Dong and Liu Xu.
Like Bai Yuankai, Zhou and Liu were extremely excited after seeing Bai Lang. Although they did not cry for joy, their red faces also showed that they were ecstatic.
The Knife Hall has come a long way over the past six months, and Bai Yuankai, a half-grown kid, doesn't know about it, but Zhou Dong and Liu Xu have really carried it on their shoulders.
The difficulty is related to the recent huge changes in all aspects of the Hong Dynasty, but in the final analysis, the sword hall lacks the backbone and core strength. It has to make concessions and compromises on many things. Many things are also held in the heart and feel very uncomfortable, but there is no way. It is almost suffocating. Suffering every day.
Even in the past six months, Zhou Dong and Liu Xu had found out from other channels the origins of the huge suspended peak on Queer Mountain and the people flying around in the sky.
Needless to say, the people in the Immortal Kingdom had to tell them this before Bailang left. The key thing was the huge mountain peak. The news they found out was that if Bailang had been lucky when he entered, he would have been in the underground palace on the mountain peak. Immortals must be careful when entering that underground palace, otherwise they will die in it.
To be honest, both Zhou Dong and Liu Xu were in a haze after hearing such news. Even if they didn't want to admit it, they had to make the worst plan in their hearts.
Gritting his teeth, he thought that if he could at least train Bai Yuankai, even if the swordsmanship hall could not be revitalized, it could still maintain its power, right?
Just after more than half a year of this kind of bumpy and bumpy life that could never be called smooth and stable, Bailang suddenly came back!
The backbone is back like this! How could Zhou Dong and Liu Xu not be overjoyed and full of things to talk about.
"Zu Dao! I miss you so much!"
"Zato Dao!"
Bai Lang raised his hand to help the two confidants who were about to kneel up, and then said with a smile: "How long has it been? It's only been half a year. Even if everything goes wrong, it won't be like this. I'm back, no matter how troublesome it is. , it doesn’t matter if you suffer a loss, just get the situation back.”
After saying these few words, Bailang felt relaxed and happy that he hadn't seen in a long time. After more than a hundred years in White Bone Peak, he had almost forgotten how to speak as a swordsman, and now that he picked it up again, it still felt the same.
Zhou Dong and Liu Xu also heard this with excitement. The two of them immediately began to talk about all the troubles and problems that the knife shop had encountered in the past six months since Bai Lang's absence.
Bai Lang couldn't help but smile at Yun Danfengqing. This was reasonable. This world is full of people who eat their bones. If you are weak, you will be bullied. There is no reason for this.
But Bai Yuankai next to him broke out in a cold sweat. He has been studying for more than half a year, but at his age and experience, he could never have imagined these twists and turns and hidden dangers. He didn't even understand everything when he heard them. He only knew that the dangers were always around him. Only at this moment did I realize that the stall the knife shop was facing couldn't be set up by just settling accounts or scaring people. What is needed are fists and knives that can hold up the scene.
"So the people who came to Funiu Mountain have now gotten involved with the gang of rebels in Daomen Village?" Bai Lang sat on a chair, holding the tea served by his younger brother Bai Yuankai, blowing the tea foam on it, and his face Smiling.
Zhou Dong nodded and said: "Yes, Daodao. Now the rebels in Funiu Mountain and Daomen Village have colluded. Yongchuan City has the right to speak, they are squeezing us overtly and covertly. If it weren't for Yang Xiu and his brothers in the inner hall, We are sitting at the dock, and if Funiu Mountain wants to take the spirit stone from us, it will probably have a showdown with us long ago."
"So courageous? It's just Funiu Mountain. How can the rebels in Daomen Village dare to make trouble with us? I've only been away for more than half a year. Are I really so impatient?"
Liu Xu explained: "I don't know something about Zuodao. In the past six months since you left, the spiritual energy in this world is said to have become stronger several times. Many Qi practitioners in Daomen Village who were not good at all have increased their strength. Some old people have also increased their strength. There are even realm breakthroughs in the hand. For example, the leader of Daomen Village, Li Tianfang, and their sixth master, Li Longcheng, heard that their strength increased greatly after the breakthrough."
"Can Li Longcheng still break through? Has his injury healed?"
"Yes, he's cured. It was Alchemist Pan Yue's intervention. It is said that Master Pan's cultivation has also improved, and his alchemy skills have improved a lot. Later, a new healing elixir was released, which helped Li Longcheng a lot."
Bailang was silent for a while. It took him a while to think about these names. After all, for him, these were names that had not appeared in his mind for more than a hundred years.
"Pan Yue? Haha, he is not in Queershan now?"
"No more. I went to Yongchuan City. Medicinal materials can come in and out faster there, and there aren't as many strong men coming and going as here in Que'er Mountain. No one else dares to come near Que'er Mountain except the people from our knife studio. We are stranded. People will die inexplicably every three days. Our station depends entirely on the Lengyue Sect’s people to help build momentum by raising flags, otherwise we won’t be able to stay here.”
Zhou Dong and Liu Xu only knew that the monks from the Immortal Kingdom were responsible for the deaths in Queershan. It is not clear that it was actually done by evil spirits. It doesn't seem to make any difference to them.
Bailang did not explain this for the time being, but asked: "What about places other than Que'er Mountain? Are there many cases of such inexplicable deaths?"
"More! Zuodao, didn't you let us check the situation of those refugees and rebel camps before? It was very serious at that time, and it is even worse now. People are dying one by one. In the news we have received in the past six months alone, hundreds of people have died. There are no less than twenty strange deaths. But things are fine here in Yongchuan City. There are just a lot of people in black robes coming in and out, as if they are waiting for something."
wait? Bailang knew in his heart that they were probably some evil monks who didn't dare to join in the fun at White Bone Peak immediately. They didn't want to give up the "opportunity" and could only wait for the first batch of strong men to come out before taking action. Half a year is not enough, at least a year and a half, before these people dare to go up the mountain.
Moreover, most of the deaths around them were probably caused by these guys.
"So everything has become more chaotic in the past six months?"
"Yes, Zuodao. The situation on the south bank of our Changshui River is relatively good, but the situation on the north and Tianfeng Plains is even worse. Now there are refugees who forcefully cross the river to our side or take detours to escape."
There are a lot of things that are disturbing, but when it comes to details, they are just trivial matters. Bailang knew that these problems would be solved quickly after he came back.
However, Bailang was not prepared to deal with these disturbing matters personally this time. This is not what a force should look like if it develops for a long time.
"My return will be kept secret for now. Don't tell anyone." Bai Lang said, looking at Bai Yuankai, and said, "Not even Sister You."
Then he said to Liu Xu: "You find an excuse to call Yang Xiu back. I want to meet him first before talking about anything else."
