"Why not?" asked Hyun Kyu, anxiously. Obviously the water temperature has dropped at night, is she planning to put down roots here and eat stones with that group of strange people?

"First, I'm here to find ghost grass, and I won't leave unless I'm sure there's no one here. Second, I still have some unanswered questions. Tang Xiaobai explained. In addition to the ghost grass, she also wanted to know how the space beneath the cold pool was formed, and why the stone tablet gave her such a strong sense of familiarity.

"Give me one more day, and we'll leave tomorrow night. She said.

Hyun Gyu snorted and didn't answer.

"Then why don't I send you back first?" Tang Xiaobai saw that he seemed unwilling, raised his hand and cast a water avoidance spell on him, and took out the cold pill given by Jing Yu in the day and handed it over, "The extremely cold place at night is not as cold as the day, even if you cultivate for the people behind you, your life is in danger, but with this pill, you won't be afraid to go back." ”

Xuan Gui didn't take the pill, sat down on the ground, waved his hand and said impatiently, "Okay, for the sake of you bringing the chicken over today, Lao Tzu will accompany you for another day." ”

Tang Xiaobai nodded, "Then you are so resting, I will come to you tomorrow." ”

“...... Not even a word of thanks. Hyun Gyu hugged his arms and looked at her back as she walked farther and farther, and couldn't help but mutter.

......

Early in the morning of the second day, without waiting for Tang Xiaobai to get up, after sleeping in the wild all night, Xuan Gui ran straight to the residence of the fire-weary people with a stomach full of resentment, and stood at the gate to see Tang Xiaobai by name.

When the people of the Fire-weary Kingdom saw him coming again, they all looked like they were facing a great enemy, and they stared at him intently, especially at his palms, after all, it was the flames released there yesterday.

Hyun Gyu had a bitter word in his heart. He really couldn't understand why this group of people spit flames from their mouths all the time, but when he was on fire in his palms, he would immediately be regarded as an enemy and turned away.

There is only self-comfort, maybe these people are born with less roots. After all, he is as deep and steady as him, how can he be as knowledgeable as these uncivilized monkeys.

Xuan Gui leaned against the stone wall next to the valve sullenly, hugged his arms and stubbornly waited for Tang Xiaobai to come out. Seeing that he insisted on not leaving, the fire-weary people quickly sent someone in to spread the word. Within a quarter of an hour, Tang Xiaobai walked out with a group of people.

"I'm going with you today. Seeing her, Hyun Gyu complained with a bitter face, "It's too boring to be alone by the water, and Lao Tzu is not a mushroom." "He's been up all night, and he doesn't want to wait another day.

Some people from the fire-weary country walked out of Tang Xiaobai one step ahead of him, pointing at him and babbling a lot, but looking at his demeanor and the height of the flames spewing out of his mouth, it should be some words of warning, not a strong refusal.

This made Hyun Gyu's eyes light up. Immediately picked up the wooden stick on the ground and drew three villains in a dashing manner.

When the fire-weary man saw it, he also picked up a wooden stick and triumphantly drew two more villains beside him.

Seeing this, Xuan Gui couldn't help but be depressed for a while, so he had to change his strategy and go to Tang Xiaobai again, playing a scoundrel and saying, "If you don't let me follow, I'll go back immediately now, and leave you here alone to eat stones with this group of stupid monkeys." ”

Tang Xiaobai never understood the content of their paintings, and now when he heard Xuan Gui say this, he became more and more confused, "What do you mean by drawing these five villains?"

Hyun Gyu was speechless, and he held back for a long time before he reluctantly explained, "I said that I could be a translator next to me, but they said no, there are two humans here." ”

"......" is what it means? Tang Xiaobai looked at the five strangely shaped and disproportionate villains on the ground and sighed silently, pointing at Xuan Gui to the fire-weary people next to him, and then pointing to himself, indicating that they were together, hoping to let Xuan Gui follow.

The group of fire-weary people hesitated for a while, exchanged their heads with each other for a while, thinking about Tang Xiaobai's ability to call the wind and rain before, although they were reluctant, they still nodded in the end.

Everyone waited for another quarter of an hour, and the two humans finally arrived with the fire-weary country.

The other party, a man and a woman, about thirty years old, dressed in clothes woven of coarse linen that grew here, seemed to have been here for a long time. The two of them hadn't seen humans for a long time, and when they saw Tang Xiaobai and Xuangui at this moment, they couldn't help but be a little excited, and they were busy bowing with the etiquette of an immortal cultivator.

Tang Xiaobai and the others hurriedly returned the gift. The four of them glanced at each other, even though they didn't know each other before, but now they had the same doubt in their eyes - why are you here?

Xuan Gui was straightforward and straightforward, and reported directly to his family, "The two of us are disciples of the Heguang Sect, I don't know which Taoist friend the two are?"

The man and woman looked at each other, and hesitated to speak, "If we tell the truth, I wonder if the two fellow Daoists can hide the matter of hiding here for us?"

Hyun Gyu didn't care, "Naturally." ”

The two looked at Tang Xiaobai again, and when Tang Xiaobai nodded, the woman stepped forward and said slowly, "My surname is Yan, and my single name is a lotus character." He was once the youngest disciple of the Great Elder of the Penglai Sect. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she subconsciously glanced at the man next to her, and there was tenderness in her eyes that could not be concealed, "This is my husband Xu Shanqing, he was originally the shopkeeper of the wine shop under Penglai Mountain, we met by chance, and we fell in love at a glance, and now we have been cultivating here together for seventeen years." ”

The woman lowered her eyes and said, "The Penglai faction has always had a door rule, that is, the disciples in the door are not allowed to fall in love with the common people, and I violated the door rules, and I should be abolished and driven out of the mountain gate as a punishment." ”

"But he and I have already made a private decision for life, and if it was abolished at that time, the child would not be able to keep it. So in order to save the child, we hid all the way, hoping to avoid this catastrophe, but unfortunately shortly after I gave birth, when my body was still weak and could not move, I was still found by the teacher. ”

When Yan Lian said this, her expression was a little moved, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to wipe her tears and said, "I saw that the person sent by the master sect was actually my fellow senior brother Zhangshan, and my heart was overjoyed." Thinking that he has always been good friends with me, maybe he can let me go, who knows......"

Yan Lian choked and was speechless, seeing her like this, Xu Shanqing hurriedly stretched out his arm and hugged her in his arms, comforted her softly, and continued after she didn't finish speaking, "I don't want that person to be cold-blooded and ruthless, not only forcibly took our son, but also pressed the two of us to the Penglai faction for accountability, fortunately, there were masters who helped us halfway, saved our lives, and guided us to the extremely cold place behind the Heguang Sect Mountain to find a cold pool." ”

"Coincidentally, our cultivation was not high at that time, and when we arrived, it was already the end of the strong crossbow, and we saw that the cold pool was not alive, and we had already made the determination to die, but we didn't think that we would be desperate to survive, just in time for the opening of the connecting channel in the cold pool, and then we came here inexplicably, and it was seventeen years of hiding. ”

Xu Shanqing finished speaking, his face was full of unwillingness and forbearance, "We have been cultivating all these years, and we dare not slack off for a moment, just hoping that one day, we can return to Penglai and find our son." ”

Hyun Gyu listened and asked, "After all this time, aren't you worried that he is dead?"

Yan Lian cried, "Failing to protect him is my dereliction of duty as a mother." But after I gave birth to that child, I put a curse on him, so I could feel that he was still alive in the world. ”

Hyun Gyu snorted, unceremoniously, "It's been seventeen years, how can your son say that he is also seventeen years old, right?" So when are you going to go out?"

"This ......" Yan Lian and Xu Shanqing glanced at each other, a little hesitant.

"It's not that the two of us don't want to, it's just that the Penglai faction is a great sect of cultivating immortals, with the strength of the two of us, even if we go out, how can we have the ability to compete with it?"
