As for Xiao He, he knew in his heart that it was no problem for Nihan Cave Heaven to deal with a blessed land of light, so he was happy to have some leisure time and drove the Mingquan carriage all the way south to attend the appointment with Dugu Huntian.
The sky is high and the road is far away, and they are galloping wantonly. It seems that they are affected by Xiao He's rare good mood. The horses also let go of their hooves and gallop quickly. When encountering a steep road section, they will jump and pull the car straight across. Xiao He can't help but I laughed out loud alone. In the carriage, I felt like flying in the clouds and mist, with the spring water tinkling in my ears. I felt even more relaxed and happy. The most important thing was that it wouldn't be long before I could see that woman again.
However, the journey is far away after all. Even if it is a good horse, the chariot will be tired after being pulled for too long. In addition, Xiao He also feels that this speed is still not pleasant enough. There are just carriages in the blessed land on the left and right. It is not a pity, so Xiao He picks up the chariot. Curtain, jumped deep on the horse, then turned around, pointed his fingers forward, a sharp breath easily broke the rope, the good horse under his crotch lost the restraint behind him, and took Xiao He away in a hurry.
As the sun set, the horse hurried along the mountains for a long time, and finally became tired again. Xiao He knew that even though such good horses are different from ordinary horses, they still have their own limits. If they go further, He will definitely die of exhaustion. Thinking of this, Xiao He pulled the reins hard, turned over and dismounted.
Gently patting the horse's back, Xiao He whispered to the horse: "This is not far from Bachuan, go! I will walk the rest of the way by myself!"
The horse seemed to understand Xiao He's words. It raised its front hoof and neighed, turned around and walked back along the original path step by step.
After watching the horse's back disappear from sight, Xiao He turned around, rose up with his sword, and flew forward.
Bachuan is located on the coast of the South China Sea. It is mostly a scattered fishing village. Xiao He didn't know what Dugu Huntian's purpose was in asking him to meet here. But for some reason, Xiao He was willing to believe in Dugu Huntian. Maybe trust itself is a mysterious and unspeakable thing. .
Xiao He wielded his sword all the way, and the ground under his feet saw a strange scenery receding rapidly. When the sun set, a vast sea appeared in front of Xiao He's eyes. With a smile, Xiao He leaned down.
Standing at the seaside, Xiao He felt even more comfortable. The endless blue sea shone faintly against the setting sun. Stepping on the fine sand under his feet, the sea breeze penetrated into his nose with a faint salty taste, hitting his soul directly. Looking into the distance, the water and the sky are connected, and the waves are surging, connecting the sky and the earth. This is an extremely vast sea area. Xiao He even feels that his spiritual consciousness cannot be fully extended. I am afraid that even the area of the Flowing Light Blessed Land is much smaller than the one in front of him. In the sea, there are many unknown monsters hidden under the calm surface.
However, Dugu Huntian's letter did not specify the specific place and time of the meeting, which made Xiao He couldn't help but laugh at his carelessness again, and had no choice but to take a walk along the seaside. Suddenly, Xiao He's divergent spiritual consciousness detected a fishing village not far ahead, which was shrouded in a defensive array. He couldn't help but be curious, and quickly moved forward to look for it.
After walking less than a hundred miles, Xiao He saw this fishing village located on the seaside. It looked the same as an ordinary fishing village, but the defensive restrictions set up made it clear that there must be an extraordinary person living here.
"Maybe it's Brother Dugu!" Xiao He thought in his mind, and walked into the fishing village on foot. The magic circle did not block Xiao He's path. The defensive restrictions contained in it were easily resolved by Xiao He.
The small village is quiet and beautiful. You can see old boats and mottled fishing nets everywhere, scattered fishing buildings, fishing lanterns hung on the bricks at the four corners, and weathercocks and palmetto trees swaying together. The more people are on the road, the easier it is to be fooled. Moved by such a peaceful atmosphere, Xiao He thought to himself, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, having three meals a day, simple meals, lovely people, and things to do. Such an ordinary life is actually not a bad thing.
Xiao He was sighing when he suddenly noticed someone coming from behind him. As soon as he turned around, two fish bones were pointed at the tip of his nose. Looking at such a simple weapon and looking at the few fishermen in front of him, Xiao He couldn't help but smile bitterly and hurriedly Putting away his defensive energy, for fear of hurting the other party, he asked: "What do you mean by this? Doesn't such a beautiful fishing village welcome guests from afar?"
"You are from southern Xinjiang, right?" the first fisherman said bravely.
Xiao He nodded and replied: "Yes! How do you know?"
"Then stop talking nonsense!" After the fisherman finished speaking, he stabbed the harpoon forward with force. Xiao He naturally dodged easily. However, the surrounding fishermen were chasing after him. From time to time, harpoons would stab Xiao He around him. This might be Xiao He had the most helpless fight. He did not dare to attack, let alone defend. If the harpoon really hit him, the fisherman would definitely be injured.
However, the logic of these simple fishermen was also very simple. They kept attacking Xiao He, causing Xiao He to flee all the way. They wanted to ask questions about Dugu Huntian, but no one listened to him.
"Everyone stop." At this moment, a pleasant and long-lost voice finally sounded. Xiao He was too familiar with this voice. A group of fishermen obviously listened to her words. Dugu Yixue looked at Xiao He in such a mess surrounded by a group of fishermen. He couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
"Miss Yixue, this person is from southern Xinjiang!" said the fisherman in the lead.
Dugu Yixue explained softly: "He is not from southern Xinjiang, he is my brother's friend!"
"What? Turns out he is a friend of Elder Huntian?" After the fisherman finished speaking, when he turned to look at Xiao He again, the emotions in his eyes were more complicated. There seemed to be a hint of admiration and a hint of awe.
Looking at the fisherman, Xiao He nodded, affirming his question.
"Ouch, old man, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple!" After the fisherman finished speaking, he was about to kneel down. Xiao He quickly reached out to help the fisherman in front of him, but the others had already followed him and knelt down. , Xiao He was anxious for a moment, and quickly looked at Dugu Yixue, looking for help.
Dugu Yixue raised her hand to cover her mouth, smiled slightly, and then took a few steps forward to help Xiao He comfort a few fishermen. After the fishermen left, when they were the only two left, Xiao He suddenly changed again. He felt a little at a loss, like a slightly shy big boy.
"You came so quickly." Dugu Yixue said.
Xiao He nodded and said: "I set out from southern Xinjiang. I changed to a fast horse first, and when I was approaching, I flew with a sword."
"Brother sent the letter to the Zhenwu Shen Sect." Dugu Yixue added.
Xiao He replied: "It was my friends from the Zhenwu Shen Sect who helped me deliver the letter to southern Xinjiang."
"Do you have an idea of what you want to do?" Dugu Yixue asked.
Xiao He shook his head, the disappointment on his face flashed, and he answered: "No, there is still no news about my senior brother."
"Don't worry, you will always find it." Dugu Yixue comforted.
"Why didn't you see Brother Dugu? Where are the others?" Xiao He asked.
"Brother went to a forest not far from here. He wanted to choose a tall tree." Dugu Yixue replied.
"What is it used for?" Xiao He asked curiously.
Dugu Yixue added: "Brother is preparing materials in advance to build a big ship."
"Want to go to sea?" Xiao He asked.
Dugu Yixue nodded and said, "Yes, we will leave as soon as the ship is built."
"Where to go? What to do?" Xiao He asked again.
Dugu Yixue replied: "My brother will tell you personally about this."
"Oh!" Xiao He nodded thoughtfully, and when he was about to ask something more, Dugu Yixue had already stood up and walked to the beach to help the fishermen take care of the fishing nets to dry while chasing the playing children around him. , causing Dugu Yixue to smile.
Xiao He once again looked at the peaceful and beautiful scene in front of him. A fairy-like woman was wearing a gauze skirt and tying knots for a fishing net with her bare feet on the beach. The sun shone on the girl's face with just the right temperature, reflecting the sparkling waves. The surface of the sea reflects the light and shadow of happiness together, and I am like a fisherman who has just returned from the sea. At this time, I am blowing the sea breeze, drinking soju, and just waiting for my wife to come back with her children after drying the fishing nets, and have dinner together as a family. , and then fall asleep, waiting for the sun to rise as usual tomorrow.
Just when Xiao He was looking forward to his own idea of happiness, Dugu Huntian came back.
It flew from behind him and landed smoothly on the beach, carrying a thick tree dozens of meters long on its shoulders. It was thick enough for six people to surround it. It was placed on the beach like a wall.
Dugu Yixue and the busy fisherman all saw Dugu Huntian, and together with Xiao He, they gathered around Dugu Huntian.
The fishermen were obviously very respectful to Dugu Huntian, and they all greeted him warmly with smiles. Dugu Huntian had no airs at all and responded politely to the people around him. At the same time, he also saw Xiao He at a glance.
"Brother Xiao He, we finally meet again." Dugu Huntian said.
"Yes, Brother Dugu! I am also waiting for this day." Xiao He said with a smile.
"Just come!" Duguhun also said with a smile.
"Brother Dugu, do you want to use this piece of wood to build a big ship?" Xiao He asked.
Dugu Huntian nodded and said, "I am an amateur at building boats, so I need to ask these fishermen friends for help!"
Among the fishermen, the leader looked troubled and said with some embarrassment: "Elder Huntian, it's not that we don't want to help, it's just that it takes a lot of time and effort to get materials from such a big tree."
Dugu Huntian patted the man on the shoulder and said, "I will help you get the materials tomorrow, you just need to help me finish the boat!"
"That's our strength!" After hearing this, the man immediately said happily.
Dugu Huntian smiled again and raised his hand to greet Xiao He: "Brother Xiao He, come with me!"
Xiao He remained silent and followed Dugu Huntian obediently, followed closely by Dugu Yixue.
Arriving at Dugu Huntian's room, Xiao Hecai asked Dugu Huntian why the fishermen here hated the people from southern Xinjiang so much. Dugu Huntian explained to Xiao He that the fishermen here were ordinary people, and the people from southern Xinjiang often used secret techniques to Oppressing them, young men in fishing villages were often captured as slaves, which is why the fishermen hated the Southern Xinjiang people so much. It was only after Dugu Huntian came to Bachuan that the situation improved. Although he did not have a head-on confrontation with the Southern Xinjiang people, Just relying on the restrictions imposed by Dugu Huntian, the people of Southern Xinjiang retreated and never came again.
After hearing this, Xiao He suddenly realized and said: "I am in southern Xinjiang, but I have never heard of such a thing."
Dugu Huntian smiled and said, "It's not a glorious thing, they won't talk about it."
Dugu Yixue also said: "I'm afraid that after we leave, everything will return to the same as before."
After hearing this, Xiao He smiled and said, "Don't worry, this will never happen again. I will write a letter and send it back to Southern Xinjiang tonight."
Dugu Yixue did not understand what Xiao He meant, but Dugu Huntian's eyes suddenly shone and he said to Xiao He: "It is rumored that a powerful high priest appeared in Southern Xinjiang to balance the various forces in Southern Xinjiang and make Southern Xinjiang peaceful and stable. Could it be you?"
Looking at his eldest brother Huntian, Xiao He smiled and nodded.
