At some point, a flat boat appeared on the river.
At this time, the rainstorm had just stopped, and the dark clouds gradually dissipated. Under the warm sunshine, the vast river surface was covered with a layer of pale golden sparkling light. Xu Di floated over, and finally stopped tens of feet in front of Gui Wuya.
On the deck of the small boat, sat a man in Tsing Yi.
The man in Tsing Yi has an elegant and handsome face, his eyes are slightly drooping, and he looks gentle and soft. He holds a nine-hole white jade long flute in his hand, and his tone is calm: "I don't know where to go, the island lord, to my little disciples, Any other advice?"
The corner of Gui Wuya's mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly: "City Master Xie doesn't have to be so sarcastic, no matter what, it can't compare to City Master Xie's instruction to my Junior Brother Ling."
"Xie doesn't understand the meaning of returning to the island owner."
"Thank you, City Lord, everyone in the world says that you are tolerant and kind, and your actions are more open and aboveboard. Why did you do this to my Junior Brother Ling seven years ago? Let him lose his memory, go crazy and steal the treasure of our sect. In the end, he betrayed the sect and died in Yaowangzhuang?"
Xie Wanting frowned and said, "Ling Wuhui rebelled against the North Sea Sword Sect, so what does that have to do with Xie? To the island owner, you are trying to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it."
"Hmph, it's okay if you don't admit it. My chaotic appearance after Junior Brother Ling's amnesia is clearly bewitched by some kind of evil song... In the world, there are no songs that can wash away Junior Brother Ling's memory and make him use it for himself, except Xie City Lord's "Lingtai Dixin Song", I don't think otherwise!" Gui Wuya said sharply.
"Whatever you think." Xie Wanting's tone was slightly impatient, as if he didn't want to argue with Gui Wuya anymore.
"Why, your disciple is a disciple, and my junior is not a junior?!" Gui Wuya slowly squeezed the broken string on the zither, his tone serious.
The two were at a stalemate, when suddenly two long whistles came from the sky, but it was Bai Hanyuan and Sang Lingxi who had arrived.
The two descended from the sky, and slowly landed on the river, standing on both sides of the small boat, guarding Xie Wanting. Bai Hanyuan looked at Gui Wuya coldly, covered his face with frost and said nothing, while Sang Lingxi smiled and said: "Hey, Gui Island Master, why is your iron kite broken? Did you play it too hard? ? They are all practitioners, so don't be so angry."
Gui Wuya's face darkened slightly, as if he felt that it would be boring to stay any longer, so he casually threw the remnant zither into the river, and said sharply: "Second brother, fourth child, let's go!"
As he spoke, he stood up in the air, and a bright red blood-colored long sword gradually emerged from the sole of his feet, and the sword rose from the ground in no time!
Chen Wushang and Tu Wuwei quickly followed Yu Jian, and Chen Wushang rushed to Gui Wuya's side, panting, "Senior Brother Gui, that Xu Dongqing from Yaowang Village seems to have taken refuge in Shuo Xuecheng! I don't know that The thing, is it still on him, should we... "
Gui Wuya said coldly: "You two, you couldn't even take down such a group of brats just now, now that the three senior brothers Xie Wanting have rushed back, what else do you want to do?"
Chen Wushang shut his mouth embarrassingly.
Tu Wuwei remained silent the whole time, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he suddenly looked back thoughtfully, and murmured in a low voice: "The two people beside Xu Dongqing just now seem a little familiar..."
…
All the disciples in Shuo Xuecheng cheered loudly when they saw Gui Wuya and others leaving with the sword.
"The ghost crow is gone!"
"Master is too powerful!"
"Uncle Master!"
"Master, Master!"
Qiu Yutong's heart was also agitated, and she couldn't help but took a few steps to the river, looking at the three senior brothers on the river.
Lu Xiao hesitated for a moment, then followed.
Bai Hanyuan and Sang Lingxi guarded Xie Wanting's boat, and the three of them slowly approached the shore, and then the ebony wheelchair under Xie Wanting floated slightly for half an inch, and landed on the river beach lightly and delicately.
Qiu Yutong greeted him happily, and the three of them looked at him in surprise, with a slightly puzzled look on their faces, Bai Hanyuan and Sang Lingxi involuntarily pressed the hilt of their swords.
Qiu Yutong could only stop, and hesitated for a moment, but really didn't know what to say, and where to start.
Xie Wanting frowned lightly: "Your Excellency is..."
Qiu Yutong suddenly remembered something, and quickly bent down to pick up a large handful of river water, vigorously brushed off the dust, grass juice, and messy beard on his face, then raised his face, summoned up his courage and said: Senior Brother Men, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, it's me."
The three powerful monks opened their eyes wide at the same time, looking almost stupid.
The disciples in Shuo Xuecheng were even more stunned. Yang Ruoyu murmured: "What nonsense is he talking about? He said he was... Fourth Master Uncle?!"
Hu Hao stammered: "Okay, okay, it seems to be so."
"How is it possible?! Isn't the fourth master soaring?"
"Is it a liar?"
"But his swordsmanship is so good. I think the sword formation he commanded is the real Ziwei sword formation..."
"He is... Qiu Yutong, the master of Feilai Peak?" Yan Ran blinked her eyes extremely slowly, looking almost funny, while Xu Dongqing stared at Qiu Yutong in a daze, unable to say anything.
Lu Xiao lowered his eyes lightly.
And here, Xie Wanting froze: "Little brother? Yutong?! No... no, you just drew your breath into your body... You can't be him..."
Bai Hanyuan was still in a daze, but Sang Lingxi had come to his senses, and suddenly remembered something: "Did I see you when I was in Daning Palace? That little guy who grinds ink..."
"Well, that's me." Qiu Yutong smiled wryly, "I don't know what's going on, anyway, I seem to have failed in ascension, and when I opened my eyes, I returned to Daning Palace inexplicably, and it was already five years later. "
He was afraid that the three of them still didn't believe it, so he said anxiously: "Senior brother, do you still remember that when I was very young, you taught us to play the flute, and the third senior brother went to hook up with your maid after learning a tune? The second senior brother can only play five notes and it is very unpleasant. I think it is very boring, so I took your jasper flute to fight the second senior brother while you were teaching the third senior brother, and broke the jasper flute. I played for two hours... Later, you changed to this Bai Yuxiao."
Xie Wanting stared at him blankly, and after a long, long time, the mighty monk said tremblingly: "You, are you really Yutong?"
Qiu Yutong's throat choked up, and she couldn't help stepping forward, tightly holding Xie Wanting's cold hands: "Senior brother, it's really me."
Xie Wanting held back his hand tremblingly: "You, you are really a junior, you are a junior, you are Yutong..."
Bai Hanyuan stood beside him blankly, his ice-like face still had no expression, but his fingertips trembled involuntarily.
He was silent for a while, and suddenly there was a "swipe", and the snow-white "Zhan Fengxue" swept towards Qiu Yutong's neck obliquely, overflowing with murderous aura! Without even raising her head, Qiu Yutong brushed the thin reed onto "Zhan Fengxue" and gently turned the edge of the sword to one side.
Bai Hanyuan withdrew his spirit sword and took a deep breath: "Yes, you are indeed a junior brother."
Sang Lingxi stared at Qiu Yutong with a pair of bright peach blossom eyes, as if she still didn't quite believe it: "You said that you are a junior, do you have any other evidence besides these? Why did you Didn't recognize me?"
"Ahem, I'm sorry for the situation at that time. After a little hesitation, you left." Qiu Yutong was a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a while before saying, "As for the evidence, third senior brother, you are in Shuo Xuecheng. When I was a child, I didn’t have enough spiritual stones every month, and I didn’t dare to ask for it from the senior brother in charge, so I went to Feilai Peak to borrow it from me every time. So far, I owe a total of 31,480 Thirteen spirit stones, more than a hundred years ago, have not been returned once..."
"Lingxi, did you go to Yutong's place to ask for spirit stones? Haven't paid them back for more than a hundred years? Why didn't I know? Where did you spend so many spirit stones?" Xie Wanting frowned fiercely.
Bai Hanyuan snorted coldly: "Look for a girl."
Sang Lingxi blinked her eyes in embarrassment, coughed suddenly, and hugged Qiu Yutong fiercely: "Okay, okay, don't say anything, they are all my brothers, I believe you! Little brother, Third senior brother, I think you are thinking so hard! Have you been wronged these days? Have you been bullied? You must say something, third senior brother will avenge you!"
The corners of Bai Hanyuan's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, Xie Wanting looked like he was speechless asking the sky, and Qiu Yutong couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, third senior brother, you don't have to do this... I understand, those spirit stones don't need to be returned .”
Sang Lingxi immediately said: "You said this, I have recorded it in my sound transmission stone."
"..." Qiu Yutong was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, turned around and pulled Lu Xiao over, "Senior brother, this is my apprentice, Lu Xiao. Xiaoer, this is your master Uncle, Xie Wanting."
Lu Xiao pursed his lips, and said a little stiffly, "Uncle Master."
"Hey, isn't this your emperor's apprentice? Why did he bring him into the secret realm? I remember, he was very proud." Sang Lingxi rubbed his chin.
Xie Wanting looked at Lu Xiao carefully for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Although this son is young, he seems to have a very calm temperament and a good qualification. Yutong, when I was in Shuo Xuecheng, I I have been persuading you to accept a few apprentices, and you can also exercise your xinxing by the way, but you have always been obsessed with swordsmanship and refused to accept apprentices. Later, when you went down the mountain to practice, I heard that you accepted a mortal apprentice, but I don’t know what your vision is ... Now I feel relieved."
Qiu Yutong couldn't help showing off: "My vision is naturally good. My little apprentice may have done it, so I don't have to worry about anything."
"It's good to have a reliable apprentice serving you." Xie Wanting sighed, "Yu Tong, you are the one with the highest talent and the purest temperament among our senior brothers. The one that worries me the most. Han Yuan is cold-hearted and treats others as nothing. It doesn’t matter if you don’t mention Lingxi, it’s fine if he doesn’t harm others... Only you, I really don’t feel at ease. Sigh, no matter what, come back It's good, it's good to be back."
Sang Lingxi protested loudly: "What is this or that? Senior brother, you are too biased, I'm going to be unhappy."
Xie Wanting glared at him, and then said to Qiu Yutong: "By the way, Hanyuan and Lingxi have been taking care of your Feilai Peak for you, and it is exactly the same as before. No matter when, the gate of Shuo Xuecheng Always open for you, if you are bullied outside and unhappy, come back."
"Brother Sect Leader, I..." Qiu Yutong felt grateful and guilty at the same time, and almost didn't know what to say for a while.
Xie Wanting babbled on for quite a while, seeing the sun slowly sinking to the west, gradually the sky was full of sunset, and the surface of the river was also reflected in a bright crimson, and then came back to his senses.
"Forget it, it's getting late, let's not talk about it, find a place to rest, and talk slowly at night." Xie Wanting sighed.
Sang Lingxi raised her voice: "All the disciples in Shuo Xuecheng, listen to my order—find a good place and prepare to spend the night!"
All the disciples responded with a smile: "Yes!"
After the disciples responded, they immediately dispersed and looked around for a place to spend the night. In less than a cup of tea, Hu Hao, Bai Hanyuan's great apprentice, found a huge cave, only two or three miles away from the river, and it was more than two feet high. The inside was very wide and could accommodate hundreds of people to rest.
After finding the cave, Yang Ruoyu directed the boys to pick up a lot of soft dead leaves and stalks, laid out the cave a little bit, lit a blazing fire at the entrance of the cave, and then came to the river, thank you A group of Wanting passed by.
Along the way, Yan Ran kept yelling around Qiu Yutong, but Xu Dongqing was in a daze, and even talked less, as if he was stunned by Qiu Yutong's real identity.
Lu Xiao didn't say much, just followed Qiu Yutong silently. After entering the cave, he carefully selected a flat place and re-laid a thick layer of dead leaves and straw: "Master, I have been tired for a long time. Alright, take a break."
"En." Qiu Yutong sat down, and Lu Xiao gently pinched his arm: "Master, your body is no better than before. Will it be too heavy to use the sword these days?"
"It's okay." Qiu Yutong was pinched very comfortably, and couldn't help squinting her eyes, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I will let the senior brother in charge show you the blood later. He has practiced for hundreds of years. It’s been a year, I’ve seen a lot, I know everything, maybe there will be some new discoveries.”
Lu Xiao lowered his eyelashes, and after a while, he said softly: "Master, you just met the master master, so let's talk about the past first. I... don't worry about my business."
Qiu Yutong blinked her eyes, feeling a little strange, this little apprentice has always wanted to practice, how come after entering the secret realm, seeing the opportunity in front of him, he pushes back and forth instead
While he was muttering to himself, Xu Dongqing suddenly stood up, walked straight to Xie Wanting, knelt down with a "plop" and said, "Thank you, City Lord! Please... please accept me as your apprentice! "
"Who are you? Hmm... You seem to have come with Yutong?" Xie Wanting looked at Qiu Yutong suspiciously.
Qiu Yutong quickly got up and walked over, explaining: "Senior brother, this is the second owner of Yaowangzhuang, Xu Dongqing. His elder brother Xu Qiushi has the kindness of rebuilding for me, and I brought him here."
Hearing the words "Yaowangzhuang", Bai Hanyuan couldn't help but frowned deeply, and Sang Lingxi's expression became very strange, obviously both of them thought of the monster bride.
Xie Wanting had also heard about this, but he didn't seem to care much, just nodded lightly: "Oh, so it's you, get up first."
"Please thank the city lord for accepting me as an apprentice! Please thank the city lord for accepting me as an apprentice!!" Xu Dongqing knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, refusing to get up no matter what.
Xie Wanting looked at Qiu Yutong with some embarrassment: "Yutong, look... what's going on here?"
Qiu Yutong sighed, and told Xie Wanting everything about the Daning Palace and Yaowangzhuang, including the two strange tortoise shells: "...Brother, everything is Such."
As Xie Wanting listened, his originally calm expression gradually became a little dazed: "Yutong, you just said...you got two turtle shells in Daning Palace and Yaowangzhuang?"
"Well, it's these two pieces." Qiu Yutong nodded, took out the tortoise shell from her arms, and handed it to Xie Wanting, "I have never figured out what this tortoise shell is and why it belongs to Wuya. They are desperately trying to snatch it... Brother Sect Leader, you have seen a lot, do you know what this is?"
Xie Wanting looked down at the two small turtle shells on his knees, his expression extremely complicated.
I don't know how long it took before he slowly took out two things from the storage bag, and gently put them together with Qiu Yutong's two turtle shells on his knees—it happened to be a complete turtle shell .
Under the bright light of the fire, one can see this dark turtle shell covered with thin lines of mountains and rivers, and there are four small totems on the edge, green dragon in the east and white tiger in the west, red bird in the south and basalt in the north.
Qiu Yutong was stunned: "Senior brother, this is?"
Xie Wanting said slowly: "The two pieces of tortoise shells in my hand, one was passed down to me by Shizunming/Realist Hui, and the other was entrusted to me by Master Lin of Yuqin Palace. And the two pieces in your hand, It should be handed down from Nanshan Temple and Beihai Sword Sect respectively. This whole turtle shell is the only way to Cuiwei Cold Pool, the place where Qingheng Xianzun fell."
The author has something to say: Ming/Hui Zhenren: This seat really does not involve Yinhui's sentimentality, crying and chirping.
Because I have to go out to play during the Chinese New Year, these days I took a lunch break to write the daily update of the day, and I wrote the New Year’s manuscript at night, and I didn’t look back at the previous chapters. I didn’t know that the real person was always framed...
