The Exiled Land Chapter 20 Departure
"You go back first, I'll clean up and go in a while. Du Xuan said to the man.
The Wei family's head shook like a rattle, and returned: "If the adults don't leave, the villains don't dare to go back." ”
Du Xuan had no choice but to pack his luggage, put Mu Lao's codex close to him, hugged the drunk cat on the side to the bed, and covered the quilt. Then I took him to say goodbye to Sister Ling'er.
When she saw Sister Ling'er, she was chatting with Xu Qingqing, and Du Xuan made a gesture and asked the Wei family to wait outside the door and walk into Sister Ling'er's boudoir alone.
Walking into the room, looking around, a pair of extremely simple Nanmu tables and chairs came into view, and the sandalwood on the table was fragrant. The shallow sunlight shines through the bamboo window on the side of the bed, and the bed is slightly heavy but delicately carved, depicting a beautiful scene. The pink curtain exudes the fragrance of a girl. Overhead is a tassel that sways gently in the wind. The glass-inlaid dresser is elegant and chic. On the table is a diamond-colored bronze mirror with a brocade sleeve and a jewelry box with red lacquer carved plum blossoms. The delicate and gentle nature of her daughter's family is circulating everywhere in the house, which makes people sigh without sighing, Sister Ling'er, who has always regarded herself as the head of the family, also has such an elegant and gentle side.
The two people sitting at the table were sipping tea and talking softly, Sister Ling'er smiled softly when she saw Du Xuan, but Du Xuan's heart was tight, and the old wounds on her body ached faintly. Xu Qingqing said hello, got up and pulled him to sit down, he suddenly felt even more panicked and restless.
After a long time, Du Xuan finally mustered up the courage to ask, "What are the two sisters?"
Sister Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Is the injury better?"
Du Xuan nodded, and asked again, "I said I was innocent, do you believe it?"
Sister Ling'er picked up the teacup, took a sip, and returned: "I know." ”
Du Xuan was startled, stood up, and was annoyed: "Then you still beat me?" Xu Qingqing hurriedly pulled him, signaling him to lose his words, he relieved himself and sat down quietly, but he was panicked in his heart. Sister Ling'er has always been very fond of him since they first met, and she defends him everywhere, but her family style is strict and cannot be provoked.
Du Xuan couldn't help but think, if he hadn't met her back then, what would he be like now? Perhaps he had been blinded by hatred and couldn't extricate himself from it.
Sister Ling'er saw that he was panicked, and chuckled: "It's better to know some things." ”
Du Xuan smiled and said, "Sister Ling'er, I'm here to say goodbye this time, the appointment of the Wei family has arrived." ”
Sister Ling'er took out some spirit stones and put them on the table, wrapped some delicate snacks with a brocade handkerchief, and said to him: "Listen to the words of the second sister along the way, don't get into trouble." ”
Du Xuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Second sister?"
Xu Qingqing on the side accosted: "The demon clan is rich in spirit grass, and I still have some Danfang that lacks a few herbs, so this time I just took a ride." ”
Du Xuan saw that the two of them had already settled the matter, and it was difficult to say anything more. So he took out the hand-copied Ling Xiao sword style and said: "Sister Ling'er, you are proficient in swordsmanship, I have some sword styles here, you can see if they fit." ”
Sister Ling'er took the codex, carefully observed it for a moment, frowned, and looked at it again and again for a long time, and then returned: "I only know a little bit about the swordsmanship, I major in yin and yang magic, and I can't understand this sword style when it is obscure and difficult to understand." ”
Du Xuan was stunned, and secretly said in his heart that his shallow swordsmanship was taught by her, but he didn't expect that she was not proficient.
She paused and continued: "You can show Yu'er, she has been well versed in this for many years, and she may have some insight. ”
Du Xuan remembered Ruoyu's rather scoundrel swordsmanship, and said with a smile: "The third sister has a unique skill, and I am afraid that she will not look down on this sword style." The three of them looked at each other and smiled, thinking that they had all seen Ruoyu's swordsmanship.
After a while, the two said goodbye to their eldest sister, and were carefully told by Sister Ling'er, and then walked out. The man outside the house saw that the matter had been completed, so he hurriedly confessed his guilt and went back to his life first.
After Xu Qingqing packed his bags, the two walked side by side and walked towards the agreed place.
"Second sister, what are these?" Du Xuan asked puzzled when he saw that she was full of bags and was propped up in various shapes.
"Baby!" Xu Qingqing patted the package and continued: "Don't beat my sister's idea, these are the private belongings of my daughter's family." ”
Du Xuan shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm afraid that the demon clan in the eastern realm will suffer." Xu Qingqing frowned, pinched him, pushed open the door, and the wind and snow hit him in the face, catching him off guard.
Outside the house, the sky and the earth are white, and the snowflakes are fluttering, like jade butterflies dancing, covering the shops on both sides of the street with a layer of white clothes. The willow trees on the side are bent over, and white clouds dot them. The two held up an oil-paper umbrella, and the scene was picturesque.
Wading through the wind and snow, they gave alms, and when the two arrived at the scheduled meeting and point, there were already people waiting. Wei Pang wore a brocade cotton coat and a beast skin to greet him.
"Brother Du, you are here. Wei Fat's fat hands pulled Du Xuan for a long time and was reluctant to let go, until Xu Qingqing on the side coughed and he didn't let go.
Seeing Liren'er, Wei Pang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Who is this sister?"
Du Xuan patted the snow on his body and returned: "Sister, just drop by, bother me." ”
Wei Pang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm bored and irritable along the way, but it's hard sister." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to help her, but was pushed away by Xu Qingqing euphemistically, and a pair of jade arms held Du Xuan.
Wei Pang smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly invited the two of them into the carriage, but at this time, a mustachioed monk who had been waiting for a long time on the side said out inappropriately: "What kind of character is my Dao, it turns out to be a little white face." ”
Only then did Du Xuan look over, only to see that there were five wagons behind the team, and two carriages with people in front of him. Carried by hardy beasts, each can seat about four people. There were many coachmen, monks, guards, and ladies in the team, and the original team of ten people was now thirty people.
The mustache was dressed as a monk, and at this moment he jumped down and walked towards the three of them, with a contemptuous expression, and said unkindly: "Let you brothers wait for more than half a month, I want to see how many catties and taels you have." When he had finished speaking, he drew his knife and slashed at him.
Du Xuan was not in a hurry, stretched out two fingers to easily clamp the blade, and then lifted it with one foot, and the mustache suddenly knelt on one knee. Du Xuan smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew, why do you make this big gift?"
Xu Qingqing covered her mouth and chuckled, pinched a silver needle from her fingertips, and shot at the person's soft underbelly with a flick of her fingers. Wei Pang quickly grabbed the silver needle, and said with a smile: "It's all your own brothers, don't hurt the harmony, this is the brother of the Lin family, Lin Luo, the strong man in the Four Elephant Realm, this is Du Gongzi, the two of them met each other, laugh and enmity." ”
Wei Pang only introduced Lin Luo's realm cultivation, but did not introduce Du Xuan's cultivation, and he also had some meaning for that person to go down the steps. He helped the man up again, patted the snowflakes on his robe, and looked quite pitiful, which was evident in Wei Fat's mastermind. But the man was shocked in his heart, he was already in the Four Elephant Realm and was still a battle skill stream, so he couldn't stop the light kick of the Spirit Channeling Realm monk, but he still borrowed the donkey from the slope and snorted coldly, and turned his head to the Walking Foot Beast.
The onlookers looked at Du Xuan, silently calculating in their hearts, and there was another person in the crowd with vicious eyes, staring at Du Xuan deadly, and when he saw someone looking over, he immediately lowered the brim of his hat to cover his face.
Wei Pang surrounded Xu Qingqing with great courtesy, and invited her into the carriage before and after the saddle, and the seat originally reserved for Du Xuan was occupied by her at this moment, and Du Xuan had to ride the four-legged beast. Seeing that he couldn't sit down, Wei Pang hurriedly gave up his seat and rode a foot beast to walk side by side with him. The guards in front opened the way, and there were monks guarding behind, and the two walked in front of the carriage, and everyone set off towards the Eastern Demon Clan in the wind and snow.
"Recently, it's not been peaceful, the demons are becoming more and more turbulent, often to the border to provoke, plus the natural disasters of the past year, there are many people robbing the road, so I hired more people. Wei Pang said to him as he tugged at the reins.
Du Xuan looked at everyone, and saw that the team was mixed, and the shadows of the major families in the city were there, and asked, "Aren't you acting in secret?"
Wei Pang slapped his thigh and returned: "There is an undercover agent at home and the matter is stabbed, and now all the major families in the city are coming to get a piece of the pie, and the splendid cloth originally prepared has also been replaced by the private goods of each family." ”
Du Xuan nodded, the major families in Sanchuan City have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and the Zhao family is good at their means, and the force is led by the city lord's mansion, but the Wei family, which is purely commercial, is elbowed everywhere and is struggling.
"There are villains in the team, so you need to be careful. Du Xuan glanced at a few people who were acting secretively and said.
Wei Pang smiled and said: "That Lin Luo is straightforward and reckless, these people have been waiting in a hurry for the past few days, and they see that you are a little unhappy, so they pushed him out and used him as a gunman." ”
He paused and said, "This time, it will take a few months, the road is far away, the terrain is complicated, and they are just used to explore the way." Those families just wanted to arrange a few spies to spy on me, but I didn't know that the young master and I had already planned. He shook his head and waged his tail triumphantly.
Du Xuan understood, covered the clothes on his body, and said, "The demon clan has already received it, right? I brought some elixirs that can be sold, and my sister also needs to purchase some medicinal herbs." ”
Wei Pang was excited: "I have my own arrangement, the demon clan is not peaceful now, the deep sea clan of the demon clan often invades, and now there is an urgent shortage of elixir over there, when my Wei family comes forward, I will definitely be able to sell it for a good price, as for Sister Ling's affairs, I will be covered!"
Du Xuan ignored him when he saw his obscene appearance, and secretly said in his heart, you have never seen your sister's means, I am afraid that you will sell you and you are still helping her count the money.
In the middle of the night, Sanchuan City had long since disappeared into the horizon, but the wind and snow were blowing harder and heavier, and the walking beasts were tired. They found a shelter from the wind, set up tents and bonfires, and went about their jobs.
Xu Qingqing held the hot tea sent by Wei Fat, came to Du Xuan's side and leaned against his shoulder, and said, "Then the fat man of the Wei family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, don't drink his ecstasy soup and get on his thief ship." ”
Du Xuan was setting up a tent, a wooden stake knocked in half, saw her coming over and quickly stopped the work in her hand, snatched the hot tea in her hand and drank it all, and said with a smile: "It's still my sister's intimacy." ”
"The exercises I practice are too domineering, and I need a lot of spiritual pills to supplement, and besides, I need too much money to practice all the way, and I also need him to turn around in it, and I also need to experience it, I have been coveting the position of the head of the family for a long time. Du Xuan said to her as he knocked on the stake.
The corners of Xu Qingqing's mouth twitched, and she said, "Just four people, what inheritance do you want to inherit?" Tell my sister who your master is, mysterious and secretive." ”
Du Xuan raised his head, looked at no one around, and said softly, "Mu Wushuang." ”
"Mu..."Xu Qingqing exclaimed, attracting everyone's puzzled eyes, she quickly covered her mouth, lowered her voice and said, "Mu Wushuang?!, that royal Mu Wushuang who retreated from 30,000 demons and was at the peak of martial arts?"
Du Xuan nodded, Xu Qingqing looked incredulous, and said, "Isn't it rumored that he is dead? How many disciples does he have now?"
Du Xuan touched his head and returned: "Now I'm a disciple in the room."
"Then aren't you the son of the world?"
"It seems like that..."
"What are you thinking again?" Du Xuan saw that her eyes were shining, and there must be something strange in her heart, the last time she was like this, she had lost a Nirvana furnace.
Xu Qingqing wiped his saliva, gently punched him, and said, "What do you know, my admiration is just words, can I still sell you?"
Du Xuan thought about what she had done in the past and nodded heavily.
Xu Qingqing: "......"
"Do your job!"
Late at night, the wind was howling, and Du Xuan couldn't sleep. The camp tent that was originally built with great difficulty was also moved in by Xu Qingqing, so he had to build a new one, but it was much simpler, barely able to shelter from the wind.
He couldn't fall asleep after flipping through it, so he simply took out Mu Lao's codex and read it carefully. Mu Lao's battle hundred pictures he has seen the third picture, last time he was almost affected by the field in the painting without a glimpse, this time it was just the opportunity to experiment with the effect of martial arts.
Thinking of this, he condensed his mind into the realm of selflessness and immersed himself in the painting. The painting is a gray fog that can't be seen clearly, last time it was affected by these gray fog, almost distracted, this time the martial arts body was first formed, and after entering again, it was much better, at least the impact of the gray fog was minimal.
"Huh!" A wisp of gray gas in the fog flew towards him like a crescent moon, Du Xuan dodged and jumped to dodge, but after turning around, he found that his back had been hit, and the wisps of gray qi had already lifted off a piece of his flesh.
"Divine powers!" Du Xuan's heart was shocked, this was only the third picture that he had encountered an enemy with magical powers! Just now, he had obviously dodged it, but he still had been hit, and the person in the fog must have used some kind of strange magical power.
He didn't dare to be careless, the Eight Desolation Fist starting style had been arranged, but the man in the fog always hid his head and tail and couldn't see clearly. There was another gray mist in front of him, and the spiritual power around him was still, and the gray mist could blind people's consciousness and perception. There seems to be a ghostly consciousness hidden in the fog, which is impossible to capture.
"It's ?... The fog on the sea?!" Du Xuan was surprised, the attributes and characteristics of the gray fog here are the same as the fog on the sea, could it be that Mu Lao has broken into the fog on the sea?
