After everyone walked out of the Yushu Mountains, their hearts felt less gloomy. After more than ten days of trekking, we were almost at Maple Leaf City in Perlan Territory.
Xiaochen's face also looked a little dusty. Fortunately, he did not encounter any major accidents during the subsequent journey.
Han Niu returned to his usual self. That night, he suddenly happily said to Xiao Chen: "Brother Xiao, brother Xiao, come here, come here!"
Xiaochen looked at the eager Han Niu and then walked over and sat next to him.
Han Niu looked around carefully, and then whispered: "Brother Xiao, I'm getting married. I'll get married as soon as this escort trip is over!"
"Oh? Han Niu has accumulated enough spiritual stones?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
Han Niu quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no! The boss said that the remaining money will not be used. He promised to marry his daughter to me."
Seeing the surprise on Xiao Chen's face, Han Niu then said happily: "The boss also said that we won't run darts anymore, and the guys will split up after dividing the money."
"But the boss secretly told me that after marrying his daughter, I will still work for him, but I don't know what the boss will do in the future..."
I really didn’t expect that Han Niu wanted to marry Gan Shufeng’s daughter. Xiao Chen then congratulated: “Congratulations to Han Niu!”
Han Niu also smiled stupidly at this time, then looked at Xiao Chen and asked: "Will Brother Xiao come to drink my wedding wine?"
Xiaochen looked into the distance and said, "I won't come, but my blessings to you will always be there!"
After hearing this, Hanniu was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up and walked towards the sedan where Hongling Niang was resting, wanting to tell her the good news.
"Silly cows are also interesting!" Xiaochen thought to himself: "Although others are stupid, they have good intentions. Such people are sometimes better than extremely smart people. The girl who marries him at least does not need to worry about him becoming bad. , after all, Hanniu has always been so naive and lives a very happy life."
"Han Niu told you?" Gan Shufeng walked up to Xiao Chen and asked with a smile.
Seeing Xiaochen nodded, he sat down and continued: "Han Niu has been following me for several years. I remember a few years ago when I went out to run escorts, a thief came to my house and wanted to kidnap Lian'er, but he was killed by the roadside. If a beggar saves you, that person is a fool."
"After that, my daughter left Han Niu at home. When I came back from escorting, I was so angry when I saw Han Niu at the first sight. I thought about how such a stupid person could be worthy of my daughter, so I thought Get him out."
"Later, Lian'er begged and asked for help, so I accepted him. But I still looked down on him and said: If you want to marry my daughter, you need at least 1,000 low-grade spiritual stones as a betrothal gift."
At this point Gan Shufeng also grinned and continued: "Guess what? The boy rummaged through his trouser pockets, but he didn't even have half a copper coin. He was so anxious."
Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile at this time, as this was true for Han Niu's character.
"In the back, I will take Han Niu as a running dart. He is stupid, but he is really kind to Lian'er. Every time the running dart comes back, he will give her all the spiritual stones for safekeeping."
"I saw it in my eyes, and naturally I kept it in my heart. I thought that as long as this kid begged me, I would marry my daughter to him. It turns out that kid was sure of his death."
Xiaochen sighed after hearing this: "The lovers finally got married."
Gan Shufeng also smiled and felt a little sad. He paused and continued: "I have seen a lot more clearly what happened this time. When we go back and separate our families, my brothers and sisters behind me can also get some money, and at least they have a place to live." capital."
"What does Uncle Gan plan to do in the future?" Xiao Chen asked.
Gan Shufeng was silent for a moment, and then said: "I plan to take over Lao Hou's family, and then return to Huize City to open a small inn."
After hearing this, Xiaochen also asked: "What's the name of the inn?"
"Just call it Canaan Inn, alas!"
"I've been fighting hard all my way to becoming an immortal, and now I'm tired." Gan Shufeng said with a sigh.
Xiaochen nodded and did not interrupt again.
Gan Shufeng turned his head and looked at Xiaochen and said seriously: "But brother Xiao, you are different. I can see your extraordinary strength. Please take my share and continue moving forward. Although my words are a bit presumptuous. ”
Xiaochen did not respond. Everyone has their own choice. Perhaps for Gan Shufeng, going back to take care of his old age is the best choice. There are too many people in his wish, so Xiaochen is not willing to go. bear.
Gan Shufeng didn't say anything when he saw this. The orchids were blooming one by one in the wilderness. The magnificent sea of flowers was set off by the white buds.
Xiaochen suddenly wanted to practice his sword, and then he stood up and slashed with his sword one after another. The gauze on his body slowly fell off, and the wound had healed.
The sword rolled around the flawless white orchid flowers, gathering them together and floating into the distance with the sword energy.
"This sword comes from the ordinary, from the blossoming orchid flowers in the wilderness, and from countless ordinary casual cultivators. Xiaochen has a clear understanding in his heart, and it is called Wuhua."
"The third form of the Yixin Sword Technique has only one sword, and that is Wuhua. The sword moves are simple and unpretentious, but they conceal murderous intent."
"The sword moves are ordinary, but they can be issued suddenly with the force of thunder."
"The sword moves are soft and weak, but it gathers all the strength of the whole body."
As the sword thrust out, the delicate sea of Peilan flowers swayed gently, while the howling wind in the air seemed to be broken into two pieces!
"Good swordsmanship!" Gan Shufeng applauded and praised under the tree. He hoped that he could pin his fantasy of the immortal road and the great road on Xiaochen. Even if Xiaochen refused, he would not feel uncomfortable. After all, his dream It was a dream after all, and now he had more important things to do.
Although Maple Leaf City is not as prosperous as Huize City, there are still a lot of people coming and going. Shops are lined up along the streets, and the various hawking sounds with local characteristics are unique.
When opening a shop here, I don’t know how to order folk songs and shout out, and I seem to be embarrassed to open the business.
"Miss Li, the escort ends here!" Gan Shufeng said with a somewhat lonely look on his face.
Miss Li bent down, bowed deeply three times, and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Mr. Gan, for escorting us all the way!"
Lin Mingtang also took out a bag of spiritual stones, handed it to Gan Shufeng, and thanked him again: "I know that the journey is difficult and dangerous, so be careful, please accept it, head guard!"
Gan Shufeng pondered for a moment, took the bag of spiritual stones, and watched Li Jingyun slowly follow his family away. The loneliness in his eyes was even worse.
"Grandpa, I will never go back this time. Maplewood City is better!" Li Jingyun said with a smile.
Lin Mingtang was beaming. He had liked his granddaughter since he was a child, and then said: "Okay, okay! Grandpa will help you search for young men in Maplewood City. You must find a Yun'er you like."
"Thank you Grandpa!"
Xiao Chen stepped forward, interrupted Gan Shufeng's contemplation, and said, "Uncle Gan, this is done, and Xiao Chen has to say goodbye!"
Although Han Niu was reluctant to give up, he just raised his hand and did not speak.
Gan Shufeng seemed to have just come to his senses. He forced a smile and said, "Brother Xiao, that's the case. Let's just say goodbye."
When Xiao Chen turned around, Gan Shufeng threw a spirit stone bag and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, maybe he forgot the reward."
After Xiaochen took it, he inspected it and found that there were as many as a thousand low-grade spiritual stones. He immediately turned around and asked, "Is it possible that Uncle Gan made a mistake?"
"That's right, Brother Xiao, just keep it!" Gan Shufeng said without looking back.
"Brother Xiao, see you in Huize City!" Han Niu shouted loudly at this time.
Xiaochen waved his hand, but did not respond. He turned his head and walked towards the distance. After what happened, he still had a long way to go.
At this time, Xiaochen's heart was extremely calm, and his own cultivation level was naturally promoted to the ninth level of Qi Condensation.
Feeling his own strength, Xiaochen also smiled and walked forward without asking for the route. He was familiar with the subsequent route, so he did not need to find a guide.
After walking for a while in the city, a dove-like spiritual beast suddenly stopped on a branch in front of Xiaochen, opened its mouth and gasped, and wiped its head with its left wing in a humane way, as if wiping Sweaty.
"Cuckoo!" The carrier pigeon called to Xiaochen.
Xiao Chen noticed it, and became even more confused when he saw the bamboo tubes on the pigeon's legs.
"Is it calling itself?"
Seeing Xiaochen looking at him, Ayou flew down and landed on Xiaochen's hand.
"Yunchuan Colored Pigeon is a rare spiritual beast. This kind of spiritual beast has a clear mind and can communicate with people and be domesticated. It is only used for finding roads and delivering messages." Xiaochen pondered, and then looked at the bamboo tube. From the current situation Look, this homing pigeon is here to find you.
"Who is the one?"
With this question in mind, Xiaochen opened the bamboo tube and found two notes inside.
Pull out the first one:
"Brother Xiao! I miss you so much. Do you miss Chang'er?"
"I guess I didn't think about it. Chang'er is so pitiful, spending all day alone in an empty room!"
....
"Luo City is really fun. You can't see the edge of the city wall at a glance. The soldiers also introduced that the city wall is made of egg whites and glutinous rice, and it's edible!"
...
"I wonder where Brother Xiao is now?"
"And Ayou, this is Miss's spiritual beast. It's very magical. Remember to reply to me!"
"Remember! Got! Reply! Letter!"
Xiaochen smiled slightly after reading the letter, put it away carefully, glanced at the rock-colored paper butterfly in the storage bag, and understood in his heart, without saying anything, and then looked at the second note.
"The first note was written by Chang'er, so who wrote the second note?"
With doubts, Xiaochen opened the second note:
"Master Xiao is like the reincarnation of a literary immortal. Every time he writes a story, Qingyao is amazed. Now, Qingyao still has many things he doesn't understand and wants to ask Master Xiao for advice... Among them, he is particularly curious about the inspiration for Master Xiao's stories. Where did it come from?”
Fairy Qingyao wrote to me asking for advice on how to write a story? Xiao Chen was a little surprised, but then he took out the paper and started writing.
"Fairy Qingyao, I don't dare to take Xiao's advice seriously. The stories are all taken from the folk, from the thousands of lights in this world..."
After writing one piece of paper, he took out another piece of paper and wrote:
"Of course I miss Chang'er..."
"Shang'er, do you know that you need to be good?" After writing this, Xiaochen paused his pen tip, looked at the Peilan flowers that could be seen everywhere in the city, and continued to write:
"I am now in a sea of orchid flowers, and there are white orchid flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains."
"There are also delicious orchid cakes here. If Shang'er is good, I will bring you some..."
"Everything is fine with Xiao."
After finishing writing, Xiaochen folded the two notes and stuffed them into the bamboo tube, and shouted with some uncertainty: "Ayou?"
"Gu?" Ayou turned his head, glanced at Xiaochen strangely, and then pointed at his beak with his wings.
"Want to eat?" Xiaochen asked.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu!" Ayou nodded.
Xiaochen then bought some orchid cakes, and Ayou and she each ate some. It must be said that the orchids had a light and elegant aroma, but left a lingering fragrance on their lips and teeth, just like the smell on her body.
"Gugu!" Ayou flew away after eating and drinking.
"Pack some more orchid cakes!" Xiaochen said to the stall owner.
"Okay! Sir, the orchid cake in our Orchid Hall has the most authentic taste!"
As the boss spoke, he carefully wrapped the orchid cake in oil paper, strung it up with straw rope, and handed it to Xiaochen.
Xiaochen nodded and took it, leaving Yinliang behind.
The orchid cake is packed in the jade box that originally contained the Phoenix Flame Fruit. This kind of mysterious jade can well preserve the medicinal properties and spiritual essence of the elixir, and is also suitable for preserving the orchid cake.
