It has been almost ten years since he left Middle-earth, Hou Shulin has aged a lot, Hou Shulin was in the prime of life when he left, and now he is old, and he is almost fifty years old.

Over the years, there have always been changes, but there are also some things that have not changed, such as the exaggerated concern and humble tone on his face, and while walking, he called earnestly, "Shaoxia, Shaoxia......"

Nanfeng didn't rush to meet him, and waited until Hou Shulin pulled the camel to the waterhole before he used his magic power to make him fall asleep.

Seeing the south wind appear, Hou Shulin was overjoyed, walked a few steps quickly, knelt down and looked up, "Shaoxia, Shaoxia, I didn't expect you to be here." ”

"Why are you here?" asked Nanfeng in a harmonious voice, although some of Hou Shulin's actions seemed to him to be contrived, but this could not deny the sincerity of this person, because the depth of people is different, and although the sincerity of shallow people is shallow, it also comes from their hearts.

"My father-in-law sent me," Hou Shulin grabbed the corner of Nanfeng's clothes and choked up to tears, "Shaoxia, I have missed you day and night all these years, but I didn't expect to see you again in my lifetime." ”

"Alright, alright, get up and speak. The south wind picked Hou Shulin up.

Hou Shulin wiped his tears and got up, "The young man's face has not changed in these years, and his youth is still ......"

"How have you been doing all these years?" Nanfeng interrupted Hou Shulin's words, compared to Hou Shulin, he has changed less, he couldn't stand Hou Shulin's blatant slapping back then, and now he still can't stand it.

"Meng Shaoxia carried out, gave a heavy treasure, but the villain is poorly talented, unbearable, so many years have only realized the skin of the book of heaven, not long ago with the help of his father-in-law, experienced the catastrophe, and became a mountain. Hou Shulin replied.

"Congratulations. Nanfeng smiled and nodded, Hou Shulin was only three caves of blue qi back then, and he was promoted to the mountain in less than ten years, as far as cultivation and qi cultivation are concerned, it is already very fast.

"Shaoxia, knowing that you are stranded in Mobei, I will bring you some food," Hou Shulin walked towards the camel, "It's just that you are in a hurry, and you must not prepare carefully, I am worried that the road will be broken, so I only brought some braised meat, and there is braised chicken that you like to eat." ”

Hearing Hou Shulin's words, Nanfeng's heart warmed, "Don't take it, I'm dreaming of you, you're still in a dream." ”

Hou Shulin was shocked when he heard this, looked back at the south wind, and pinched the back of his hand again, and it really didn't hurt.

"What did the Apocalypse tell you when you came?" asked Nanfeng.

Hou Shulin turned back, stood on Nanfeng's side, bowed down and said, "In the early years, Tiande Zhenren drove the crane, and the father-in-law took over the Taiqing treasure, so as not to reveal his whereabouts, he was not allowed to come in person, so he informed me to come to look for you, the old monk's message has been brought, and the father-in-law has also managed to get in touch with your friend, and his old man asked me to tell you that the things you explained to them, they are almost finished, and they can bring what you need to meet you in two months." ”

Nanfeng nodded slowly, the implication of Tian Qizi's words was to bring his physical body to Huangshaling, which would be beneficial to him, and could shorten the time for destroying the official seal to return to his physical body to the shortest.

"I was delayed on the road for a month, so they will be able to come by the end of next month. Hou Shulin said again.

Nanfeng nodded again, the fat man may not be very careful, but Tianqizi and Uncle Wang are both human spirits, and according to his message, they guessed that he had finished his work, so he would send his physical body over.

In fact, there is another way to deal with this matter, which is to tell him the specific location of his body and let him find it himself. The reason why Tianqizi and the others didn't do this was because there were two possibilities, one was that they didn't know that he would be able to leave Huangshaling, and the other was that they didn't want everyone, including Hou Shulin, to know the specific location of his physical body and ensure that nothing went wrong.

"How did the Apocalypse True Men find them?" asked Nanfeng.

"I don't know what's going on," Hou Shulin shook his head, "But before that, the Taiqing Sect had sent out an invitation, inviting all fellow Daoists to join your bed-sitting hall in the Taiqing Sect on October 15, and I suspect that my father-in-law deliberately let out a rumor to lead them to the Taiqing Sect." ”

Nanfeng nodded again, the method used by Tianqizi was similar to what he had guessed before, and only by making things bigger could he attract the attention of the fat man, and the fat man naturally knew that there was something strange about this matter, and after hearing the rumors, he would definitely ask Taiqingzong about the reason. However, there is a big drawback in this matter, that is, after the news comes out, it will not only attract the attention of the fat man, but also attract the attention of the opponent.

"Have you ever seen a fat man?" asked Nanfeng again.

Hou Shulin knew who the fat man in Nanfengkou was referring to, and shook his head, "No." ”

Hou Shulin's tone was a little weak when he said this, and Nanfeng felt it and looked at him with a frown.

Seeing Nanfeng looking at him, Hou Shulin hurriedly accentuated his tone, "There really isn't." ”

"You have something to hide from me. Nanfeng said.

Hou Shulin was nervous and apprehensive, and even more frightened, waving his hand again and again, "Shaoxia has the grace of reinvention for me, how can I hide it from you, you, you have no contact with them all these years?"

Nanfeng shook his head.

"Oh. Hou Shulin bowed his head.

"What happened to them?" asked Nanfeng in a deep voice.

"Something seems to have happened in the Valley of the Orcs. Hou Shulin trembled and stopped talking.

Say. The south wind raised an eyebrow.

"Three years ago, the Orc Valley was attacked, and it seemed like no one survived. Hou Shulin looked at the south wind nervously when he spoke.

Nanfeng frowned when he heard this, he had asked the fat man to take Flower Thorn and the others away from the Orc Valley and avoid them elsewhere, but now it seems that Flower Thorn and the others returned to the Orc Valley afterwards.

"Do you know who did it?" Nanfeng was expressionless, the fat man's wife and children were all in the Orc Valley, and the other party did this, undoubtedly wanting to provoke the fat man and lead the fat man to show up for revenge.

"I don't know. Hou Shulin shook his head.

"Have you heard from him again after that?" asked Nanfeng again.

Hou Shulin shook his head again.

Nanfeng didn't ask again, he still couldn't be sure about the fat man's situation at this moment, it was possible that the fat man had an accident three years ago, and now it was Uncle Wang who got in touch with Tianqizi.

If you think about it carefully, this possibility is very high, because what the other party has done is beyond the scope of any bloody man who can endure, and when the fat man learns about this, he will definitely go over and fight with the other party, even if he knows that it is a trap, he will go.

After a long silence, Nanfeng spoke again, "What else do you know?"

"What do you want to know?" Hou Shulin cautiously.

"Has anything happened to the Fire Palace?" asked Nanfeng.

Hou Shulin's face was embarrassed when he heard this, but since Nanfeng asked, he didn't dare to hide it, "Three years ago, hundreds of people from the Fire Palace died violently overnight, and the palace master Liu Ruyan was not spared. ”

Although he had been mentally prepared and confirmed his guess, Nanfeng's heart sank, "Who did it?"

Hou Shulin shook his head, "I don't know who the murderer is, according to legend, they all died in their own beds, their expressions were peaceful, as if they were asleep, their faces were not dark, presumably they were not poisoned, there was no blood at the scene, and there were no traces of hands." ”

"Has there been any change in the Shangqing Sect?" Nanfeng asked again.

"There is no change, but last year, Shangqing Palm Sect Yan Feixue suddenly fell behind Lifeng Zhenren. Hou Shulin said.

Hou Shulin said, Nanfeng frowned again, Yan Feixue is very young, and his age after turning into a human is only about forty, and the Fengzi generation is the younger generation of the Shangqing Sect, the oldest is only in his early thirties, Yan Feixue's sudden abdication must have a big hidden secret.

Seeing that Nanfeng didn't even go crazy after hearing the bad news, Hou Shulin said in a low voice, "Shaoxia, there are still some things that may be related to your friends. ”

"Tell me, I'll find out sooner or later. Nanfeng nodded.

"Before you left, you gave that divine sword to a tall, thin-bearded man?" asked Hou Shulin.

Nanfeng nodded.

"It was also three years ago that this person fought in the Purple Light Pavilion in Chang'an for thirty-six days. Hou Shulin said.

"Thirty-six Tiangang?" Nanfeng knew about Ziguang Pavilion, but he hadn't heard of any thirty-six Tiangang.

"After Li Chaozong's death, the Purple Light Pavilion did not decline but flourished, and a large number of purple qi masters appeared in just a few years, and the Thirty-six Tiangang was one of the leaders, and no one could break the Tiangang Great Array that was distributed by joining forces......"

"The battle situation?" the south wind interrupted Hou Shulin's words.

"It's so miserable, thirty-six days of ganggang were killed by the Hu people," Hou Shulin sighed when he said this, "but the Hu people were defeated in the end." ”

"Who was defeated?" Nanfeng asked, Li Chaozong was the city god of Chang'an, and the battle took place in Chang'an, and the consequences can be imagined.

"Planted in the hands of a woman, Ziguang Pavilion saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't know where to catch a woman, and threatened to kill the woman, forcing the Hu man to cut off his hands and feet, and some careful visitors noticed that the woman was wearing the shoes of the palace people, presumably from the palace, and they were all arrested by the Ziguang Pavilion afterwards. Hou Shulin said.

Hou Shulin originally thought that Nanfeng would be furious when he heard this, but he never thought that he would not overreact, so he said, "Before that, Ziguang Pavilion once went south to Jiangling and captured one of the generals under Chen Baxian's account, that general's surname is Lu, can you recognize it?"

"That's my big brother. Nanfeng said, and asked, "Why did you talk about this?"

Lest the south wind misunderstand, Hou Shulin hurriedly replied, "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Ziguang Pavilion is searching for the Book of Heaven everywhere, and the people they arrested are all the people who got the Book of Heaven, and most of the Book of Heaven were distributed by you, and they made a move against the general of the Southern Kingdom, so I thought that that person was also your friend." ”

"Did they catch a woman missing her right palm?" asked Nanfeng.

"Are you talking about Yuan Anning, the princess of the previous dynasty?" asked Hou Shulin.

Nanfeng frowned and tilted his head, Hou Shulin hurriedly said, "The Northern Zhou Imperial Court has been offering a reward for the arrest of this person, and the bounty is rich, and it is worth ten thousand taels, but it seems that he has never been caught. ”

"Northern Zhou?" Nanfeng had never heard of this country name.

"Yuwentai of the Western Wei Dynasty plotted to usurp the throne, but this person died suddenly before ascending the throne, and now his son is in power. Hou Shulin explained.

"How many?" asked Nanfeng.

"The third son, Yu Wenjue. Hou Shulin said.

Nanfeng didn't ask again, the real golden dragon is not the third son of Yuwentai, but the fourth son, the Yuwen family is a foreign race, and it is they who are supported by the Queen Mother of the West, and Li Chaozong, as a forward eagle dog, will naturally also get the support of the Western Wei Dynasty, to be precise, the support of the Northern Zhou court, the court wanted Yuan Anning, undoubtedly to help Li Chaozong.

"Shaoxia, there is still a month to be full, you can endure it for a few more days, and wait for the father-in-law and them to come, and then think about it in the long run. Hou Shulin said.

Nanfeng pouted and sneered, at this time, in addition to the resentment of the Queen Mother of the West and her party, there was also dissatisfaction with the party of Taiyin Yuanjun, a brother suffered a catastrophe, and it was impossible for the big eyes to be ignorant, no matter what hardships and difficulties she had, she should not stand idly by.

But it's okay like this, he will return to the flesh one day, and no one's account will be bought, and no one will give face......
