About Qiu Yutong's invitation to Xiao Wu to go to Nanshan Temple with Shuo Xuecheng, Xie Wanting soon found out.
Regarding this matter, the Shuo Xue City Lord seemed to be very disapproving, but he didn't say much. Bai Hanyuan remained unresponsive as usual, but Sang Lingxi teased Qiu Yutong: "Little brother, when did you not practice swords?" In addition, you will also make friends? Don’t be fooled by the bad guys, come back and cry with Third Senior Brother.”
When Sang Lingxi said this, Xiao Wu was beside him, and Qiu Yutong couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Xiao Wu just smiled lightly, as if he didn't care.
"Senior Brother Third, stop talking nonsense, this fellow Daoist Xiao is a good person." Qiu Yutong couldn't help but glared at Sang Lingxi as she said.
I am already over two hundred years old, how could I be easily deceived? Besides, if Xiao Wu really wanted to harm him, he could just stand by and watch when he fell into demons, so why bother to save him
"Is he a good person? Don't tell me I'm not a good person, Third Senior Brother?"
"Senior brother three, you..." Qiu Yutong was speechless, and could only give Xiao Wu a sorry look.
Sang Lingxi looked at Qiu Yutong, then at Xiao Wu, and then sighed sadly: "Little brother, why are you turning your elbows outward? How long have you known me, and how long have you known him... I It's so sad."
"Senior brother, if you do this again, return all the spirit stones you borrowed to me!"
Sang Lingxi immediately said seriously: "In my opinion, this Fellow Daoist Xiao is indeed a good person. Junior brother, you should treat him well."
"..."
…
This new year in Shuo Xuecheng was extremely sloppy. As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, Xie Wanting took everyone from Shuo Xuecheng to Yongzhou City.
There is Futu Mountain outside Yongzhou City. The highest peak of Futu Mountain is called Bodhi Peak, and the famous Nanshan Temple is on top of Bodhi Peak.
This Immortal Alliance Conference will be held on the Bodhi Peak after the Ching Ming Festival, and there is still quite a while before this time. Master Wuchen died unexpectedly in a secret realm, and returned to Wuya to retreat for several years, and the Demon Emperor reappeared. The situation of this Immortal Alliance Conference has become extremely confusing.
Therefore, after Xie Wanting thought about it carefully, the people in Shuo Xuecheng did not go directly to Nanshan Temple with their swords. Instead, they rode horses and cars to Yongzhou City a few days earlier, inquiring about news along the way, so as not to be too passive when they got there.
Fortunately, Shuo Xuecheng was not short of money. Yang Ruoyu hired a very good convoy, and everyone rode on horseback to Yongzhou City. The road was flat and the loess official road was very pleasant.
Xie Wanting, Bai Hanyuan, and Sang Lingxi often stayed in the same carriage, discussing matters about the Immortal Alliance Conference, while all the disciples accompanied them on horseback. These youngsters rarely went down the mountain on weekdays, but now they were extremely excited. Hey, he almost regarded this trip as a spring outing.
As for Qiu Yutong and Xiao Wu, they naturally rode in the same carriage. Chen Yuelin was very unhappy about this, but there was nothing he could do. He could only make excuses every day, and kept coming in and out to serve tea and water, to curry favor with Qiu Yutong, and at the same time give Xiao Wu a warning.
Regarding Chen Yuelin's childish behavior, although Qiu Yutong was a little speechless, he couldn't care less. During these days, no matter in the carriage or in the inn, he seized all the trivial time, meditated and cultivated Qi, nourished the inner alchemy, and silently Prepare for the upcoming battle of the Immortal League Conference.
Although he may not be required to play when the time comes, he must be prepared.
For so many years, he has never done anything for Shuo Xuecheng, but his brothers always worry about him. This time, it is also time for him to repay.
…
Gradually, the snow on the official road changed from thick to thin, and finally completely melted. At this time, the team also came from Canglong Snow Mountain in the northwest to Yongzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.
Yongzhou City is located in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with white walls and black tiles everywhere, small bridges and flowing water. At this time, spring has just begun, and the weeping willows are green and the swallows are whispering. It is a thriving and prosperous scene. The shouting is also very melodious.
"Selling gardenias, they are very fragrant~"
"Osmanthus head oil~Osmanthus head oil~"
Yang Ruoyu led the convoy to the famous "Juxian Inn" in Yongzhou City, and booked dozens of upper rooms. The shopkeeper did not dare to neglect, and respectfully welcomed Xie Wanting and others in.
It's just that there are limited rooms in Tianzihao. Originally, the four of Xie Wanting had a single room, but now that there is an extra Xiao Wu, it is not easy to arrange.
"Uncle Fourth, there are not enough rooms, your friend..." Yang Ruoyu looked at Qiu Yutong, then at Xiao Wu, with a rather embarrassed look on his face.
Qiu Yutong said disapprovingly: "It's okay, just let him live with me."
Chen Yuelin's eyes widened: "How is this possible?!"
Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Then bother Peak Master Qiu."
Chen Yuelin could only stare blankly, but in front of Qiu Yutong, she didn't dare to say anything, so she kept mumbling beside her, whispering endlessly.
After everyone settled down, it was still early in the morning, so Yang Ruoyu asked Xie Wanting for instructions: "Master Master, disciples want to go out for a stroll."
Xie Wanting thought for a while, nodded and said, "Come back earlier, don't cause trouble outside."
"Yes!!" All the disciples cheered happily, and then they almost rushed out and went out for a stroll.
Qiu Yutong listened to the laughter and noise of the teenagers in the corridor, stared at the green weeping willows outside the window for a while, then stood up.
Xiao Wu asked, "Master Qiufeng, are you going out?"
"Well, go out and get some air." Qiu Yutong nodded.
"I'll go with you." Xiao Wu stood up before Qiu Yutong could answer.
"... also good."
The two were walking on the bustling streets of Yongzhou City. Looking at the bustling crowd, Qiu Yutong felt a little dizzy for a while, almost as if a lifetime had passed—this Yongzhou City, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, more than ten years ago, he and Lu Xiao been here before.
Back then, Lu Xiao was just an unfavored King of Yan. He came to Yongzhou City by the emperor's order to investigate a major embezzlement case on the embankment. This case involved so many people that the previous official who investigated the case even died.
After Qiu Yutong and Lu Xiao arrived, they stayed here for more than a month before they slowly unraveled the complicated case and investigated it thoroughly. Finally, they pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and directly arrested the officials belonging to the princeling party. Bu Shangshu was sent to prison.
At this time, Qiu Yutong revisited the old place again, and Qiu Yutong was so emotional and heavy that he almost didn't even want to say anything. Xiao Wu didn't say a word, and the two walked side by side silently. Involuntarily, he turned into a secluded alley.
This secluded alley is built along a small river. The small river is only about ten feet wide and narrow. There is a path beside the river. Beside the path is a row of houses with white walls and black tiles. Bark!!" The barking sound was exactly the same as back then.
Qiu Yutong felt uncomfortable for a while, Xiao Wu seemed to see something, and said softly: "Master Qiufeng has been here?"
Qiu Yutong stared blankly at a willow tree by the river, which had just sprouted a little bud: "Yes."
Back then, when he and Lu Xiao came to Yongzhou City to investigate the case, it was also in the early spring. They lived in a family deep in this alley for more than a month.
"Nothing has changed here..." Qiu Yutong murmured.
Xiao Wu didn't ask any more questions. The two of them walked slowly along the small river to the depths of the alley. The further they walked, Qiu Yutong became more distraught. From time to time, a cat or two walked between their legs. The young woman beating the clothes by the river occasionally peeked at the two of them. Everything was very peaceful and serene.
Qiu Yutong suddenly saw something, her whole body was slightly shocked, and her footsteps suddenly stopped.
Not far ahead, I saw a bamboo pole was picked out, and a green cloth rice trick was hung on the bamboo pole. A big character, the font is crooked.
"Chen Ji Mian Zhuang..." Qiu Yutong stared blankly at the old rice trick, feeling a little hard to breathe.
Back then, when he and Lu Xiao came back from investigating the case, it was often already very late, so they would casually eat a bowl of beef noodles here... It's a pity, things have changed now.
Xiao Wu glanced at him: "Master Qiufeng wants to have dinner? This place is too old, let's find another place."
Qiu Yutong came back to her senses and shook her head: "Let's eat here."
"Alright." Xiao Wu didn't say anything, and the two walked into the noodle shop together.
The storefront of this village is small, and the light inside is very dark. Apart from the dark stove, there are only two greasy tables with rickety stools. On the wall is a yellowed New Year's picture of a fat doll.
"Is anyone there?" Xiao Wu raised his voice.
After a while, a fat woman about fifty or sixty years old opened the dirty door curtain and came out. She glanced at the two of them and said angrily, "What's it called? What do you want to eat? I have nothing but Noodles, nothing else."
Qiu Yutong only felt her throat throbbing, but she couldn't answer. Everything in front of her was almost exactly the same as it was more than ten years ago. The dark noodle shop, the greasy table, the bad-tempered proprietress... It's just that the proprietress with black hair back then has gray hair now.
The proprietress got impatient: "I'm asking you something, what do you eat?"
"Two bowls... no, three bowls of beef noodles." Qiu Yutong whispered.
"Do you want to add spicy peppers? Do you want to add meat?" The proprietress put on her apron and asked while pulling the noodles deftly.
"Add more chili peppers to one bowl, add more meat sauce, and the other two bowls are as usual." Qiu Yutong said softly.
Xiao Wu turned his head slightly, looked down at him, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
After ordering noodles, the two sat down and waited. Not long after, three bowls of hot beef noodles were served.
Although this noodle shop is dilapidated and small, and the proprietress has a bad temper, the noodles are really good. At this moment, I saw the three bowls of beef noodles being served. The noodles were white and firm, the noodle soup was thick and red, with a thick layer of sesame oil floating on it. The two green vegetable leaves on the top are really exciting.
One of the bowls added more chili peppers and a few slices of stewed beef, which looked even more delicious.
Qiu Yutong pushed a bowl to Xiao Wu, took another bowl for herself, and gently put aside the bowl of beef noodles with extra spicy meat paste.
Xiao Wu said softly: "Who is this bowl for?"
Qiu Yutong was silent for a long time before saying: "This bowl is for an old friend. At that time, he was very young and had a good appetite. He liked to add more spicy peppers and stewed beef stew. He always couldn't get enough of it."
"What about others?"
Qiu Yutong felt a pain in her heart, but she didn't answer.
Xiao Wu looked at his pale face, and suddenly said: "This old man, is that monster apprentice of yours? Everyone said that Peak Lord Feilai righteously exterminated his relatives in the secret realm of the Blood Prison, and killed his own monster apprentice... This lover The old man who ate beef noodles must be him?"
Qiu Yutong's voice trembled a little, she shook her head almost unconsciously: "Stop it, stop it."
"That's him." Xiao Wu twitched the corners of his mouth, "Master Qiufeng slashed monsters with his hands and killed relatives righteously. It was originally a happy thing, and I should have put it down long ago. Why should I keep thinking about it?"
"I didn't..." Qiu Yutong paused, unable to continue.
What can he say, he didn't kill relatives righteously? Didn't feel happy
"Didn't you never forget? But these days, I've always heard you say sorry in your sleep." Xiao Wu stared at him heavily.
"I have no choice, I don't want to, I don't know..." Qiu Yutong trembled.
Xiao Wu nodded lightly: "I also understand. Master Qiufeng is kind-hearted, so naturally he is unwilling to do such a thing, but your apprentice is a monster after all... let alone Dao Ruqing, who obtained the magic pill and obtained the certificate. Dao is the most important thing, isn't it?"
Qiu Yutong's lips trembled slightly, unable to say anything.
In fact, he also knew that to a certain extent, Xiao Wu's words were correct, and he had indeed done so back then.
But, for some reason, he really wanted to defend his little apprentice. Although his little apprentice was a monster, he didn't do anything bad. He even managed the Chen Dynasty well, so he didn't want to "destroy relatives with justice" , and I don’t even want to use this method to obtain the Dao…
Qiu Yutong only felt a dull pain in her chest, and couldn't help closing her eyes.
He didn't think he would do such a thing, but, so many people saw it, even his brothers... He personally dug out the little apprentice's magic pill and pushed the little apprentice into the cold pool. Now everyone in the cultivation world praises him He killed his relatives righteously, so what can he say
It seems that everything is wrong.
What to say is in vain.
Whatever you say is hypocrisy.
"Lord Qiufeng, what's the matter?" Xiao Wu's deep voice pulled Qiu Yutong back from his thoughts.
"Stop talking about that, the noodles are going to be cold." Qiu Yutong was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer, so she just lowered her head silently, and began to eat the noodles tastelessly.
Xiao Wu stared at him for a long time with dark eyes, and then slowly picked up a chopstick of noodles, and ate them unhurriedly.
After eating the noodles, it was already very late, and Qiu Yutong was not in the mood to continue shopping, so the two walked slowly back along the path by the river.
After walking not far, I saw a large group of children surrounded by a wall in front of me, chattering about something: "Grandpa, keep on talking, what happened afterwards? What kind of order of the lord of the immortal way, who will get it?" Arrived?"
"Yes, yes, what happened after Gui Wuya crippled Xie Wanting's legs? Grandpa, tell me!"
An old man said with a smile: "You little baby, buy another bowl of bean curd, and the little old man will continue to talk."
"Well, then I'll have another bowl!" The little boy said crisply.
"Sweet or salty?"
Looking at the old man, Qiu Yutong couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "This... this old man who sells tofu brains, why did he come to Yongzhou City?"
