More than a month before the opening of the Divine Tomb, Wu Qiancheng, a waiter of the Imperial Court's Ministry of Rites, came to Nanfu City with gifts, and after Xue Jian personally received him, he wrote a secret letter and asked him to present it to the emperor.

In the secret letter, he repeatedly told that the imperial court must not interfere in the affairs of the tomb of the gods, but must send soldiers and horses to block the official road near the Taiyu Mountains.

Xue Jian knew very well how dangerous it was in the Divine Tomb, the strength was not enough, and no matter how many people there were, they would be sent to death.

Outsiders can enter the Taiyu Mountains at will, but people with local forces are strictly controlled and are not allowed to step into the tombs of the gods, which is not only a kind of protection, but also a way to show the prestige of the imperial court.

This time, the general Ishihara and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Ma Zhong, jointly led 100,000 troops to the Taiyu Mountains in the south.

Seeing that General Ishihara personally put on armor and rushed here, Xue Jian hurriedly put down Xiao Yingqing and saluted with a fist.

"The last general has seen the general. ”

Although the strength of the old general is not as good as Xue Jian, his prestige in the army is unparalleled, and Xue Jian's respect for the old-timers will never be less.

Ishihara smiled and hurriedly spoke.

"General Xue doesn't have to be polite, hurry up and follow me into the barracks. ”

The group slowly walked into the barracks, lined up with neat soldiers on both sides, and they all expressed the highest standard salute to Xue Jian.

Beat the drums of war and raise the battle flag.

If it is only tens of thousands of people, it is easy to say, but 100,000 people greet together, this scene is extremely magnificent, it is Mu Xue and Zhou Hanliang from the big forces, they are secretly amazed that the momentum of Dayu soldiers is good.

The Dayu Dynasty, located in the southeast corner, few people know that there is such a country in the southeast corner of the mainland, but from today onwards, the Yijian Sect and the Arctic Palace have remembered the Dayu Dynasty.

After stepping into the big tent of the barracks, Xue Jian first introduced Mu Xue and Zhou Hanliang.

As soon as Ishihara and Ma Zhong heard that they were from the Arctic Palace and the One Sword Sect, their expressions immediately became serious and solemn.

After a few polite conversations, Xue Jian talked about the things in the tomb of the gods, what should be said and what could be said, he carefully told the two generals.

"General, the tomb of the gods is an extremely dangerous source, and although we have evacuated now, no one knows if one day, the contents will rush out.

So I suggest that you send someone to build a fortress at the foot of Tianyu Mountain to seal off the entrance to the tomb of the gods.

and send men to guard it closely, so that no one trespasses and causes trouble. ”

In the tomb of the gods, there is naturally no danger.

Xue Jian deliberately said this, in fact, to let others know that it was a desperate and dangerous place, which made people stay away.

Moreover, there are people from the Sword Sect and the Arctic Palace here, and the news that has been preached from their mouths is even more true.

Ishihara nodded solemnly.

He also believed that the tomb of the god was extremely dangerous, and immediately issued an order to let people block Tianyu Mountain and start preparing for the construction of a fortress.

After explaining the matter, Xue Jian didn't stay any longer, said goodbye to Ishihara and Ma Zhong, and headed towards Nanfu City.

That night, everyone returned to Xue's house, and Xue Jian specially arranged a few quiet courtyards for the people of the One Sword Sect and the Arctic Palace to live in.

During this trip to the Divine Tomb, everyone had nothing to gain, not to mention, and they were all injured a lot.

Especially Mu Xue, her internal injuries are very serious, otherwise she would not necessarily agree to Xue Jian and come to the Xue family in Nanfu City to recuperate.

Walking out of the courtyard, Xue Jian looked at Xiao Yingqing and said.

"Yingqing, you go to take a bath with Sister Xiaoqing first, and Daddy goes to buy you sugar gourds, how about it?"

Xiao Yingqing is actually a little scared, except for Xue Jian, she doesn't hug anyone, but all the way back, Du Xiaoqing and Li Chengxin often make her laugh, and they get along well.

She looked at Xue Jian reluctantly and nodded.

"Then Daddy must come back soon. ”

Xue Jian touched her head with a smile, looked at Du Xiaoqing and said.

"Xiaoqing, take a good bath for her, this little black snake on her arm, don't touch it, be careful of hurting you." ”

Du Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, stepped forward and took Xue Yingqing's little hand.

Xue saw that he turned around and left Xue's house quickly, and went straight to a nearby commercial pedestrian street.

Almost most of the entire pedestrian street is the property of the Xue Chu family.

When Xue was free before, he went to inspect a few times, and he was very satisfied, eating, drinking, playing, clothing, living and traveling.

Nowadays, this pedestrian street, which is named "Wanchu Square", has almost become an important landmark in Nanfu City, whether it is foreign businessmen or tourists who come here, they will go to Wanchu Square to make a card.

At night, this street is more prosperous, with brilliant lights, full of people, and a lively scene, which makes Xue Jian feel like he has returned to his previous life to go shopping.

He spoke softly as he walked around.

"You don't have to follow me anymore, after three days, your witch Gu will dissolve on its own, and then you will be free. ”

Bai Que, who had always followed behind Xue Jian, was stunned for a long time.

Her innate white soul body is extremely special, and under normal circumstances, it is like a ghost-like existence, which no one can see or touch.

Unless she wants others to see it, to bump into it.

Bai Que stood alone in the middle of the crowded street, surrounded by people coming and going around her, obviously so lively, but she felt that she was the only one left in the world, so lonely.

In the first half of her life, she has always been the shadow of others, following behind others.

She doesn't like to be noticed, she just wants to follow behind a person, without purpose or direction.

The person in front of her is the way she should go.

But now, she is free, she doesn't need to follow others anymore, she doesn't know how to act, where to go.

Bai Que stood silently in place, looking at the vendors shouting on the streets on both sides, at the guests entering and leaving the restaurant, and at the beggars guarding the door of the shop, holding a bowl and begging.

No matter who they are, they all have a direction to live, and they are all trying to live.

But she didn't know how to live.

At this moment, the white finch is like a lonely ghost, floating in the lively streets, more pitiful than those beggars.

It wasn't until she saw Xue Jian again and saw him standing in a tailor's shop full of joy, choosing beautiful clothes for his daughter, that Bai Que unconsciously followed.

Xue Jian put down the clothes in his hand, looked back at her, frowned, and did not speak.

After a while, Xue Jian bought more than a dozen sets of beautiful clothes worn by a three-year-old girl, walked out, and bought a string of sugar gourds on the side of the road, and then went home.

On the way back, Xue Jian asked softly.

"Why don't you go?"

The White Sparrow was silent for a moment, then responded in a low voice.

"I ...... Don't know where to go. ”

Xue Jian said lightly.

"You can follow me, but you have to listen to me, and if you can't, you can leave. ”

The white finch hummed softly.
