Xiling muttered: "There are some young national workers. Unfortunately, I happened to have seen all of these people, and none of them matched the little gentleman that Murabao said. There is only one national worker, who is young but highly cultivated, and I have never met him. ”

Hongyuan asked, "Is it him?"

"This is impossible, because this person lives in Rainbow City, and is a woman, and I am drinking the tea she has made at the moment. ”

Hongyuan couldn't help but laugh and said: "It turns out that you are talking about the blue core girl! She is young and beautiful, but she has the cultivation of the five realms, and there are many admirers in the country." I often come to the door in the name of asking for tea, and she also gives me the face of the city lord, and gives tea every year, but she ignores my admiration.

Lord Xiling, you are less than thirty years old, you are in a high position, and you are the most knowledgeable person in the country, I think Miss Lanxin will be willing to see you, and I also like to talk to you. But you are not a monk, she is afraid that she will ......" The meaning of this city lord's words, if Xiling also came here and longed for beautiful women, I am afraid that he would be disappointed.

Xiling replied with a smile: "I just went to visit inexplicably, how can anyone else think about someone I have never met?" Brother Hongyuan, you think too much...... I also came to the door in the name of asking for tea and asked her about some cultivation matters, which was also a rare opportunity. ”

The Hongyuan City Lord muttered, "When you see her in person, I'm afraid you'll have a mind!" and then wondered, "You asked him about cultivation?"

Xiling nodded and said: "Yes, I was born from a humble background in my early years, and I was not lucky enough to have such chances, and I never received the guidance of the world's masters. However, not long ago, I was fortunate enough to listen to the guidance of Lord Ruoshan, the lord of Shanshui City, and now he has entered the initial realm and can cultivate. ”

The envy of the Hongyuan City Lord was indescribable. He got up again and said, "Congratulations to Lord Xiling!

Xiling said with a smile: "It's just the first realm." It's still a long way from cultivating it. ...... Let's not talk about this for a while, I have come by order of the king to tell you that this matter has been handled properly, and there is no need to make any more extraneous branches. But I heard that Lord Xingsha of Chiwangqiu was also related to it, and it was he who suddenly killed Lin Yan. The monarch wants to ask, is it true that Lord Starsha is just passing by?"

Hongyuan shook his head and said, "Who can know, I am also full of doubts. Only the little gentleman saw him. It is said that Lord Starsha suddenly shot down from the sky, and then flew away. I'm afraid I can only ask Mr. Xiao what is going on, but unfortunately Mr. Xiao has left this place, and I don't even know his name. ”

Xiling Zhengse said: "Since Lord Chiwangqiu Xingsha is also implicated, we must be cautious when announcing this matter." ”

The Hongyuan City Lord leaned over and asked, "What should I do?"

Xiling muttered: "It should be publicly reported to the national capital, and the wind collector will spread it to the middle school." Focus on praising the national worker who passed by, and thank Lord Xingyao for his righteous action. ”

In fact, the identity of the rogue and the truth of this matter cannot be concealed in Feihong City, and more than 1,000 villagers in Baixi Village know it. But that's not the most important question. When it spreads to other parts of the country, I am afraid it will be a long time later, and it has even become a processed anecdotal legend.

What really matters is how Feihong City is announced and reported, not just to tell the people here. Moreover, the master will send a wind collector to preach in various cities across the country. That's the official message that the people heard. The position of "collecting wind" is not valued by many people, but Xiling thinks it is very important, because in this position, it can not only collect intelligence from all over the country, but also grasp and control public opinion.

Xiling suggested that Hongyuan only exterminated the Liukou in a nutshell, focusing on commending the righteous people, especially the merits and righteous deeds of Mr. Xiao and Lord Xingsha of Chiwangqiu.

Hongyuan replied, "Of course, you should do as you say." It is the right thing to publicize and thank Lord Chiwangqiu Xingsha for his righteous deeds, but little sir, there is no name for his origin!"

Xiling spread his hands and said, "What does it matter? Anyway, so many people in Feihong City have seen him, and everyone calls him Mr. Xiao, so you just preach it." Even if he is a master who does not want to show his true face, even if he has appeared, he will not be unwilling to hear his exploits praised by the world. ”

......

"Since Lord Caifeng likes this tea, I'll take some more for you to take back to the capital. But can you tell me where that little gentleman came from? Even if you don't know him, you can speculate. "—This is the next day at the Blue Core Monk's house, Blue Core asked Xiling.

Xiling came to visit in the name of "seeking a wonderful drink in the world", tasted tea in the Blue Core Mansion, asked a lot of questions about cultivation, and finally talked about various anecdotes in the country.

Lan Xin listened with great interest, the master in front of him was close to thirty years old, although he was only a beginner realm monk, but I heard that he had no chance to get guidance before, and he was still able to enter the initial realm at this age, and it seemed that his talent was also quite good, and maybe he would be able to have a higher cultivation realm in the future.

What's more, this Lord Xiling is upright and handsome, and he is extremely knowledgeable, in short, Lanxin looks at Xiling, which is much more pleasing to the eye than Hongyuan City. She stayed in Xiling for lunch in the house, and after lunch, she continued to drink tea and chat, chatting and chatting, and couldn't help but ask about the origin of "Little Mister".

In fact, Xiling said in the morning that among the forty-nine living national workers in Xiangmuro Country, none of them can match the number. But this makes people even more strange, could it be that whose child stole the token of the elder out to play? But this kind of absurd thing has never been heard of, and the token of national work is not something that can be played with casually!

And Mr. Xiao is really good, he subdued the Shanji clan, assisted the villagers to cut off the military array, and killed the agricultural energy with his own hands, of course, he has the means of a national worker, and the token and identity will not be fake. Of the forty-nine national workers in the country, more than half of them have not actually seen Xiling with their own eyes, but have only heard of them. Lan Xin thought that Mr. Xiao must be one of them, so he had to let Xiling guess a result.

Her name for Xiling is also subtly different from that of the Hongyuan City Lord. The city lord of Hongyuan called Xiling "Lord Fengzheng", while Lanxin called him "Lord Caifeng". "Collecting the wind" is the official position of Xiling, and calling "Fengzheng" is just a compliment, but in fact, the official is not one of the righteous people in the country. Lan Xin called her like this, which means that she has no flattery for Xiling, and her speech seems more casual.

Looking at Lan Xin's eyes, Xiling felt a little nervous about breathing for some reason, what the Hongyuan City Lord said was right, even if Xiling didn't have any thoughts when he came, he might have thoughts after seeing Lan Xin. This female monk of the Five Realms looked to be only in her early twenties, and her actual age was only about the same as Xiling.

Sitting and talking with him, I can invisibly feel a dark fragrance floating like a hidden orchid, and I don't know if it is smelled by my nose or the feeling in my heart. Her figure is slender and beautiful, especially when she looks at those bright eyes, Xiling's heartbeat can't help but speed up.

He lowered his gaze and said, "I didn't dare to speculate in the City Lord's Mansion yesterday, because the Hongyuan City Lord is not a monk, and there are many things that may not be clear. ...... Compared with the description and appearance of the little gentleman, I am afraid that only one person has this possibility. ”

Blue Core: "Who?"

Xiling: "Mr. Elephant." ”

Blue Core: "Which Mr. Elephant?"

Xiling said: "When you mention Mr. Xiang on Ba Yuan, will you still be talking about someone else?"

Lan Xin suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Xiling, do you want to talk about that Mr. Taiyi?

Xiling nodded and said: "A hundred years ago, the country was not established for a long time. The first national worker token presented by the ancestor of the country was given to Mr. Xiang. ”

Elephant Sha has now become a legend in Ba Yuan. Among the seven evils of Bayuan, Qingsha became famous the earliest, but the oldest was Xiangsha. How old is the elephant? It is said that he is more than 1,000 years old! That is, long before the establishment of Pakistan, he lived in the wilderness and depths of the surrounding country. There are also legends that he is not human, I don't know what race he is from, but he has already cultivated into a human body.

When he first became known to the people of Bayuan, he appeared as a boy, and thirty years later, when someone saw him, he was still a boy, and after twenty years, he appeared in the world, and he was still a boy with the same face. Xiling asked Murabao in detail, and the little gentleman still looked like a childish child who had not yet fully reached adulthood.

The last time the elephant sha appeared publicly in Ba Yuan was long before Xiling was born. But with Baoyu's description and appearance, and holding the national industrial token of Xiangmuro Country, it seems to be the most unlikely, but it is the most reliable speculation - he is the legendary elephant shaser predecessor!

Lan Xin was also taken aback, and asked, "The predecessor of Xiangsha is also a national worker, why don't I know?"

Xiling explained, "That's a long time ago, and Miss Blue Core should have heard the legend of the time when her predecessors became famous. Among the 49 national workers I mentioned this morning, we do not include the ancestors of Xiangsha, and the current members of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party do not dare to compare with this senior. ”

Lan Xin: "I've heard that when my country started a war with Linguo in the west, the army came back and fought for more than two years, but it was still difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat, and the villages and wild spirits in the nearby area were all in great calamity. Suddenly, one day, a boy fell from the sky, and when he was unprepared at night, he broke into the camp one after another, and captured the kings of both countries into the mountains.

He threw the two kings onto a towering tree, and if they were not careful, they would fall from a high branch and fall to pieces, leaving them to decide the outcome of the victory. The two kings had no choice but to sit on a high branch and point to the distant ridge to demarcate the border, and agreed that both sides would withdraw their troops, and then they were released. ”

Xiling nodded and said: "The national border of China's western Xinjiang was demarcated like this a hundred years ago, which sounds incredible, but it is true. Xiangsha's predecessor was also the first national worker in the country, and his token was presented by the ancestor himself. ”

Lan Xin frowned and said: "I heard that the ancestor of Xiangsha has not set foot in the human world for more than sixty years, and there are even rumors that he has ascended to the sky and passed away, how can he appear in the world again?"

Xiling then explained: "I heard that the ancestors of Xiangsha walked in Bayuan, often showing people in the appearance of a child, and the people I met never thought that he was Mr. Taiyi, and I don't know if the origin of the name of Xiangsha is related to this. However, it is not surprising that the ancestors of Xiangsha are interested in walking Ba Yuan again and going to Feihong City to see the old ruins. The bridge on the water in Minshui was built by him back then. ”

Among the seven evils of Bayuan, only Xiangsha has ever received the national labor token. The magnificent stone bridge on the water outside Feihong City was not easy to build, but fortunately it was helped by the great supernatural powers of the predecessors. The monarch of that year proposed to name it the Elephant Sha Bridge, but the ancestors of the Elephant Sha refused, so the bridge has been nameless.

Lan Xin: "I still can't believe it, if that little gentleman is really like a sinister senior, then why does Bai Xi still kill and injure so many people?

Xiling sighed and asked rhetorically, "Why?"

This sentence stunned Lan Xin, and Xiling then sighed: "The war between the two countries a hundred years ago was only a matter of the two countries themselves, and what does it have to do with the masters of the Xiangsha predecessors? Although his cultivation is high, he is afraid that he will also take a great risk by breaking into the camp at night and plundering the two monarchs separately.

This predecessor often walks the world with the appearance of a child, and stays in the world with a childlike heart. He often helps others when he encounters problems, but he is unwilling to interfere too much and force the result. Because that's not his business, it's what people themselves want. For example, the western border of Pakistan was not demarcated by the ancestors, but by the two monarchs themselves. Xiangsha's predecessors have always acted like this, just to understand the feelings of the world.

When he passed by Baixi Village, the villagers called him Mr. Xiao, then he was Mr. Xiao. Helping the masters, training the gun array to meet the enemy, resolving grievances with the demon clan, and bravely killing the rogues are what the people of Baixi Village should really do. If it is like a bad predecessor, he will cut off the rogue by himself. If we only talk about the life and death of the villagers, everyone dies once, and I am afraid that we have seen too much of the years spent by our predecessors. ”

Lan Xin couldn't help but nod again and again, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Xiling's words made sense. Xiling thought for a while and said, "Actually, based on these alone, I don't dare to speculate that the little gentleman is a senior who is like a ghost." But there is one more thing that makes me infer this. Because the star of Chiwangqiu also appeared. How could Xingsha happen to pass by Feihong City so coincidentally, and just happened to kill Lin Yan?

I think he just followed the trail of his predecessors, and he happened to meet here, and killing Lin Yan was just a convenient thing. Only the whereabouts of a person like the predecessor can be enough to alarm a person like the Xingsha, and what happened when the Xingsha came to see the predecessor of the Xiangsha. I don't know about it. ”

I have to admit that Xiling's erudition and strong ambition are difficult to match, and he, a master of wind collection, is competent and can no longer be competent. Baoyu's identity and Xiangsha were originally incompatible, but when he analyzed it like this, the more he listened, the more it looked like that. If we were to change to a person who is ignorant of all kinds of historical rumors in Pakistan, there can be no such misunderstanding.

Although Xiling was completely mistaken. But Lan Xin was convinced in the end, and while the object was respectful to his predecessors, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. I thought it was a handsome young man, but I turned out to be a thousand-year-old demon!

But Blue Core is nothing to be disappointed about, I don't know each other, but I just have a hazy curiosity and indescribable feeling. And this "feeling" is only in her own heart, out of the feeling of seeking alone on the path to heaven, and not being able to have a partner of the same age and like-minded interests, it may not be aimed at the little gentleman.

She only regretted it even more, she actually passed by the legendary elephant sage predecessor and failed to ask for advice in person. And getting to know Xiling made her very happy, although this person's cultivation is not high, but after all, he is already a monk and has just begun to cultivate. It is even more rare that this person has seen and heard a lot, and it feels very close to each other when they communicate together.

Xiling is not only in the name of seeking tea, of course, it is indispensable to praise the tea made by Lanxin, and then praise her skills in picking tea and making tea. Now that the spring flowers are blooming and the plants and trees are new, Xiling took the opportunity to propose that he wanted to go into the mountains to pick tea with Lanxin, and observe its tea making, and help out or something, maybe it will also be helpful for cultivation.

Xiling sent an envoy to Feihong City, and with the traffic conditions at that time, it took two months to go back and forth, and there was no too certain deadline for returning to the country, so it would not hurt to stay in Feihong City for a few more days. Lan Xin nodded happily and agreed, and the two agreed to meet in the mountains.

......

Baoyu passed by Baixi Village, in the winter season. A month later, on the day of the slaughter, there was a heavy snowfall in the area of Feihong City. Now more than two months have passed, and everything in the spring has recovered, and I can already feel the budding vitality.

In the past two months, Baoyu passed through Taihe City, which was adjacent to Feihong City, and entered the territory of Longma City. He has passed through many villages, entered the city outline of Taihe City, lived in a post station and stayed in many homes along the way, and more often he slept in the wilderness, and did not experience such thrilling things as Baixi Village.

How could that happen all the time, most of the lives of the residents of the walled cities in Bayuan were still simple and simple, and many people were willing to help Baoyu on the road, such as letting him stay overnight in the barnhouse, giving him a bowl of water and a meal.

In fact, Baoyu may not need that barn, that bowl of water, or that meal, but sometimes he prefers to leave the mountains and walk in the crowd. People never exist alone in the world, and they always have to communicate and connect with other people or things in order to feel existent.

Baoyu is very grateful to the people who have helped him along the way, and he will also help them with some work such as repairing the courtyard wall and chopping wood and carrying water. Baoyu is very capable, more capable than any ordinary strong laborer, but he has never shown his supernatural powers, and he has martial arts cultivation in his body, and he doesn't need any other supernatural powers to chop wood and carry water.

Those villagers felt a little embarrassed, how could they let a child do such heavy work for them.
