Qiu Yutong was stunned for a moment, but finally walked forward.
Under the white wall, an old man was sitting cross-legged and was telling a story to a group of children.
This old man is short, thin and bony, with white eyes and white eyes. He is obviously blind—Qiu Yutong reconfirmed that he was not mistaken. This man is exactly the blind old man he met in Baizhou before entering the blood prison secret realm. , At that time, he also bought three bowls of sweet tofu nao from the old man.
Baizhou is thousands of miles away from Yongzhou, how did this old man come here
Qiu Yutong stared at the strange blind old man, and couldn't help but think of what the old man said to him back then.
"Listen to what the little old man said, don't go to the secret place of the blood prison, I'm afraid there will be bloody disasters."
At that time, he didn't take this sentence to heart at all. As a result, in the secret realm of the Blood Prison, he personally dug out the little apprentice's magic pill, and then pushed the little apprentice into the cold pool... and what happened later, although he didn't I remembered, but the brothers said that he also seemed to have suffered a horrible torture, and his whole body was almost invisible. It took the brothers 20 years to help him rebuild his Taoist body.
Who is this blind old man
When Qiu Yutong was in a daze, the old man suddenly felt something, and suddenly raised his head, his white eyes were looking straight at Qiu Yutong's direction: "Young master, do you want to eat tofu brain?"
Qiu Yutong came back to her senses, hesitated for a moment, took out a large piece of broken silver, and threw it into the bamboo tube next to the tofu nao burden: "I want two bowls of sweet ones."
Hearing the sound of money being thrown into the bamboo tube, the blind old man smiled on his wrinkled old face, "Thank you, my lord. For such a large piece of silver, not to mention two bowls of tofu nao, it is two hundred bowls." , is enough."
As he spoke, he scooped up two bowls of tofu nao and handed them to Qiu Yutong.
A little boy next to him was a little anxious, and couldn't help urging: "Grandpa, what happened afterwards? You continue to talk."
The old man said with a smile: "Don't worry, little boy, the little old man will continue to talk, continue to talk."
He paused, then scratched his forehead again: "By the way, where did I just talk about? Oh, yes, more than two hundred years ago, the Immortal Alliance Conference was held at Yunxia Peak in Shuoxue City, so it was also It was called Shuoxue Lunjian. At that time, Master Ming/Hui had just passed away, and the decree of the lord of the Immortal Dao was passed from him to his chief disciple. And this chief disciple is now the famous Lord Shuoxue , Xie Wanting."
Although Qiu Yutong had already heard about this past event, when he heard about Shuo Xuecheng and the senior brother in charge, he couldn't help but listened attentively.
Xiao Wu frowned slightly, but also listened carefully.
The blind old man sighed: "Xie Wanting is arrogant, so he naturally wanted to keep the order of the leader of the Immortal Alliance, but who would have expected that at the Immortal Alliance Conference, Gui Wuya would defeat seven powerful monks in a row, and in the end he would be defeated in front of everyone. In front of the big sect, he played a piece of "Beihai Breaking Array Music" with an iron zither, which shattered the Yuqin Palace Master's birthright on the spot. Lin Yurong vomited several mouthfuls of blood and almost died.
At that time, Xie Wanting and Lin Yurong were still close friends, so he immediately left the field and faced Gui Wuya, but his skills were not as good as others, and he was forced into confusion by Gui Wuya's "Tingtao Sword Art", and was finally defeated by Gui Wuya. The fierce sword energy of weeping blood cut off the meridians of both feet, and he could no longer stand and walk. "
"Grandpa, did Gui Wuya get the Master Order of the Immortal Dao?" A little boy asked curiously.
"Not at all. Gui Wuya's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. He fought Xie Wanting. Although Xie Wanting's legs were crippled, he himself was seriously injured. In the end, the snipe and the clam fought, and the fisherman won. Li, the order of the lord of the Immortal Dao allowed Nanshan Temple to go, and it has been in the hands of Nanshan Temple since then, and has been passed down to the present."
A child shouted: "I know, I know, it's the Nanshan Temple outside the city! My dad said that the people living there are eminent monks!"
"Yes, it's the Nanshan Temple outside the city." The old man smiled, "For more than two hundred years, Gui Wuya has been devoting himself to cultivating, wanting to win the Order of the Leader of the Immortal Dao and ascend to the position of the Leader of the Immortal Dao. He vowed to pay back the debt that year. These two people, one is vicious and unruly, the other is dark and deep. In addition, the new Demon Emperor has made a mess, and they don't know what will happen in this year's Immortal Alliance Conference. Who will win the deer..."
Qiu Yutong was a little displeased, and couldn't help but interrupt him: "Old man, City Lord Xie is indifferent, not the gloomy person you said."
The old man rolled his white eyes and smiled indifferently: "The little old man is just talking for fun, you don't have to take it seriously."
Xiao Wu looked at the old man thoughtfully, but said nothing.
Qiu Yutong pursed her lips, and wanted to defend Xie Wanting, but the old man said again: "Young master, you took care of the little old man's business twice, and you were very generous, so I will remind you one more thing—don't worry about it. Be careful of those around you."
People around
Qiu Yutong froze for a moment, turned her head involuntarily, and looked at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was also dumbfounded, and then quickly hid his face, smiled nonchalantly, and said jokingly: "Yes, Master Qiufeng, you must be careful of Xiao."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, that's not what I meant..." Qiu Yutong quickly waved her hand.
Xiao Wu smiled: "Xiao was also joking."
Qiu Yutong was a little embarrassed. He turned his head and wanted to say something to the old man, but the old man had already stood up, stooped to pick up the burden, and walked slowly into the depths of the alley.
His stooped and short back quickly disappeared in the shadow of the alley, leaving only a long and vicissitudes of shouting: "Sell tofu nao~sweet and salty tofu nao~sell tofu nao~"
…
All the way back to the inn, Qiu Yutong was still a little lost, and Xiao Wu didn't say much.
The two walked up to the corridor on the second floor in silence, just in time to meet Xu Dongqing pushing Xie Wanting's wheelchair back to the room. Xie Wanting looked at the two of them and frowned slightly: "Yutong, there are many people in Yongzhou now. Miscellaneous eyes, there are all kinds of people, be careful when you go out, and don't come back too late."
Qiu Yutong's heart warmed slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, thank you brother for your concern."
Xiao Wu took a look at Xie Wanting, and Xie Wanting also looked up at him with a calm expression.
Back in the house, Qiu Yutong lay down on the bed with her clothes on, staring at the snow-white curtain in a daze.
"Be careful of the people around you..." For some reason, the blind old man's words always lingered in his ears, making him feel uneasy.
People around? Xiao Wu
That's right, he has always only known that Xiao Wu is a casual cultivator, and he doesn't know anything else. Xiao Wu never mentioned his specific life experience, and only said some things very vaguely... But, if Xiao Wu really wants to harm him , when he went mad, wouldn't it be all right to just stand by and watch? Why bother
Qiu Yutong turned over, feeling a little irritable.
At this moment, Xiao Wu had already laid the floor. He stood up and glanced at Qiu Yutong: "Master Qiu Yutong, I think you are not in good spirits, why don't you go to bed earlier?"
Qiu Yutong didn't know what to say, so she gave a low "hmm", Xiao Wu nodded, lightly blew out the oil lamp, and said softly, "Go to sleep."
The room was suddenly dark, and two long bangs of clappers sounded outside, indicating that it was already the second watch.
Qiu Yutong has always been a person who sleeps very well, but today for some reason, he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and the words of the blind old man echoed in his mind over and over again.
"Be careful of the people around you..."
He thought wildly for a while, and couldn't help turning over again.
In the darkness, Xiao Wu suddenly said softly: "Master Qiufeng, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?"
Qiu Yutong was taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I... I want to help my brother repel the Demon Emperor, and let the leader of the immortal way fall into the hands of a respected person, so that the cultivation world can return to peace."
Xiao Wu was silent for a while, and then said, "What about after that?"
"Afterwards, I didn't think much about it..." Qiu Yutong paused for a while, and then said, "However, if I can get out of the Immortal Alliance Conference this time, I want to go back to Shuo Xue City, devote myself to cultivation, and work hard. Improve your cultivation and hone your sword skills as much as possible."
If he works hard to practice and become stronger, stronger, and stronger, maybe he won't have to wait a thousand years before he can use Amaterasu Cloud Sea to forcibly break open the secret realm of Blood Prison, and then sneak into Cuiwei Cold Pool to find his little apprentice …even if it’s just a pile of bones.
"You want to go back to Shuo Xuecheng and devote yourself to cultivating... that's right, who in the realm of comprehension wants to practice hard and get the Dao." Xiao Wu said to himself.
"I'm not..." Qiu Yutong paused, but did not continue.
What can he say? Does he want to tell Xiao Wu that he wants to improve his cultivation, hone his swordsmanship, use Amaterasu Cloud Sea to break open the secret realm of the Blood Prison, sneak into the Cuiwei Cold Pool, and find that little apprentice who was taken out by himself... This kind of thing, even if it is told to others Listen, others will only think that he is mentally ill, or that he is hypocritical to the extreme.
In the darkness, the two were speechless for a moment.
After a long time, Qiu Yutong said: "What about you in the future? What are you going to do?"
Xiao Wu said slowly: "Naturally, we should find that person and ask him to compensate me."
"Are you going to take revenge on her?"
Xiao Wu was silent for a long time before he said softly: "I... I want to give him another chance. If this time, he can choose me and not abandon me, I will treat him well and listen to him in everything."
Qiu Yutong frowned and said: "She treats you like that, do you want to give her another chance?"
In the darkness, Xiao Wu seemed to smile bitterly in a low voice: "Maybe, I'm just cheap."
Qiu Yutong really didn't understand this kind of weird emotional entanglement between men and women, but she didn't want to ask too much, so she could only say in a daze: "Oh, I don't really understand these things."
Xiao Wu was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "Of course you don't understand this kind of thing. The so-called Dao is ruthless, even if a fairy like Qiufeng Master you has been together for many years, even if you occasionally get hurt, you can always let go... The person I'm looking for is the same."
"Oh..." Qiu Yutong didn't know what to say, he looked at the curtain in the darkness, feeling a little dazed in his heart, his eyelids gradually became heavier and heavier, and finally fell asleep.
…
"Crack!"
An extremely slight sound made Qiu Yutong wake up suddenly.
Shocked, he stood up abruptly, and found that the window of the bedroom had been pushed open a thin crack, and a cold and bright moonlight was cast on the messy floor, and there was no one on it.
Xiao Wu went out.
Qiu Yutong was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder, what was Xiao Wu doing out in the middle of the night
He suddenly remembered the words of the blind old man: "Be careful of the people around you."
Looking at the empty floor, Qiu Yutong thought about this endless sentence, thinking about the blind old man's white and creepy eyes, and suddenly shivered for no reason.
What happened to Xiao Wu
No, he had to go and see.
Qiu Yutong only hesitated for a moment, then put on her robe, climbed lightly on the window sill, and jumped out.
He landed lightly on the roof ridge outside the window. At this moment, it was the zenith of the moon, and the roofs of every household in Yongzhou City, like layers of densely packed fish scales, shone coldly under the moon.
Qiu Yutong brought up the spiritual power, listened attentively, then looked up to the east, there was indeed a small black shadow in the distance, jumping lightly among the rooms, he didn't hesitate, and followed lightly.
He followed cautiously, the figure in front of him was almost like a ghost, and he almost tried his best to keep up.
Qiu Yutong couldn't help but wonder, Xiao Wu is just a casual cultivator, why is his movement so weird
Suddenly, the figure disappeared.
Qiu Yutong was stunned, and quickly jumped off the roof, looking around.
The place where he is is a large garden, but it has obviously been abandoned for a long time. The weeds in the garden are as tall as half a person, and they rustle in the night wind. There is a pond in the middle of the garden. , there is no water in it, and a few lotus leaves that have already dried up lie weakly in the mud.
Where did Xiao Wu go
Qiu Yutong took a deep breath, always feeling a little weird, he didn't bring Tianzhao Yunhai, so he broke a long dry branch, hesitated for a while, and walked forward, suddenly, a voice came from behind his head. There was a sharp wind!
Someone sneaked up!
Qiu Yutong was almost a conditioned reflex, and the dead branch in his hand slanted behind him!
At this moment, a sword light as dark as water suddenly flashed in front of him, stabbing towards Qiu Yutong!
The person holding the sword is none other than Xiao Wu!
not good! It seems that Xiao Wu deliberately lured him here, and then flanked him back and forth!
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Yutong had already figured out a way. He could stick the long sword of the man behind him with a dead branch, then lead him around in a circle, and finally use the sword of the man behind him to block Xiao Wu's sword!
However, Xiao Wu's sword light didn't stop at all, it directly brushed the side of his face, and ruthlessly swept over! Then, there was a long scream from behind! Almost inhuman!
Qiu Yutong looked back and couldn't help being stunned.
