Chapter Thirty-Nine: Revisiting the Old Land
Gusu, Yaowangzong
The climate in March, the cold wind is biting, and Gusu, which is at night, is shrouded in cold.
The smoky Yaowang Mountain is brightly lit, adding some color and embellishment to this starless night.
In the Nanhua Palace, the atmosphere is a little cold, and the hall is too quiet, which makes people think that there is no one in it at all.
At this moment, a man in a plain robe is standing in front of the windowsill, looking at the night sky without stars tonight.
Behind him, there stood a man with his head bowed slightly and a respectful face.
Just now, he just reported something to this man.
It's just that after the report, the man didn't say a word, and kept staring out the window. He had no choice but to stand and wait patiently.
Fengyang knows that today is a special day...
Today, eleven years later, Wen Linglong is gone...
He thought that Wen Xun must be missing his old man at this moment.
It's just that this year, Wen Xun didn't accompany him in the back mountain, which made him feel a little surprised.
At this time of the year, this person spent his time in the back mountains, with the people who were frozen in it.
In the past ten years, it has never stopped, I don't know what happened to his master this year, and he didn't go to the back mountain.
Just when Feng Yang was thinking about the reason for this, the person who had been silent for a long time finally spoke.
"When did you lose someone?"
Quickly came back to his senses and replied.
The person who arranged it there said that on the night when Miss Huo just left, Miss Huo stayed at an inn outside the city, and no one left the inn after that. By the time our people find out that something is wrong, she is long gone... ”
Feng Yang couldn't help but worry about whether Huo Qingxin was kidnapped by someone.
When Wen Xun heard this, he finally withdrew his gaze from the window, turned around slowly, and saw the person behind him with a worried look on his face.
Slightly unhappy, "You're worried about her... ”
Feng Yang couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, his head couldn't help but lower a little lower, and he hurriedly replied.
"The subordinates just feel that Bashu is far away from Gusu Mountain, if Miss Huo is calculated, I am afraid that the distant water will not be able to save the near fire."
What he said was true, if Huo Qingxin was really plotted by someone, they would have wanted to save it, but it would be too late.
Wen Xun just stared at his subordinates indifferently, and looked at the person who bowed his head respectfully, and his heart was inexplicably weak.
After a while, the man commanded.
"You go in person, send more people, and bring people back to me!"
"Yes! Subordinates will do it! ”
Soon, silence returned to the hall again, and Fengyang was quickly submerged in the night.
He couldn't wait to be able to fly directly to the place where Huo Qingxin disappeared last and find out.
And as soon as he made a move on his side, the Poison King Sect also moved.
It's just that the people who made the two sect masters very concerned had already entered Gusu City unknowingly three days after Fengyang left for Bashu.
As early as not long after Huo Qingxin left the small village where she lived, she had already discovered that someone was following her.
Now that she is following Xiao Banping, she has not only learned medical skills, but more importantly, she has also learned some mental techniques, as well as swordsmanship!
Thinking of himself, he walked to Bashu step by step. But now it took less than three or four days to return to Gusu.
Come to think of it, this profound internal force and cultivation are not completely useless. It only took her half a year to learn how to fly.
It's just that I don't know if this sword flight can play a role when catching King Teng's snake.
When he came back this time, Huo Qingxin had already changed his appearance, and even changed his identity and name.
She is now known as Hongyou, a medicine picker who has no father and no mother and makes a living by collecting medicine.
And the name Hongyou is not arbitrary, she is the child of the seventh aunt who died early.
In the half a year since he left, what Huo Qingxin missed the most was the cook lady of Tibetan Sword Villa, Aunt Seven!
I miss the braised fish she made even more.
If it weren't for Su Jianxiang's critical condition, she really wanted to try to go back to Yangzhou and see them.
However, at the moment, Xu is cowardly in her hometown, and she is a little afraid to go back.
Everything still has to wait until you get the inner tank of the Teng King Snake!
Running all the way, she didn't care about resting, entered the Gusu realm, and went straight to Yaowang Mountain.
This time I entered the mountain, but it was much smoother than before.
Huo Qingxin did not follow what Xiao Banping said, and handed over the half of the jade pendant to Wen Xun, but directly found Wen Zhe.
And Wen Zhe went down the mountain himself after receiving the things brought up by the guards at the bottom of the mountain.
That half of the jade pendant, how could he not know, when he was young, he always saw Wen Xun wearing it on his waist, but now he has asked Wen Xun to put it away.
When he came to the bottom of the mountain, Wen Zhe saw a strange woman.
Huo Qingxin didn't expect that he would come over in person and clench his fists.
"Don't come unharmed, Deputy Sect Master!"
This voice of the deputy sect master sounded a little familiar and a little unfamiliar, but this figure and dress, he felt that it was not the person he thought.
Huo Qingxin saw that he had been staring at her, and couldn't help but pretend to cough lightly a few times to remind him.
"Ahem... I don't know if there was a peach blossom brew given to the deputy sect master last year?"
Originally, he handed over the jade pendant to him, but he didn't want to alarm Wen Xun, and if he continued to look at it like this, he was afraid that Wen Xun would also be seen.
After hearing this deliberate reminder, Wen Zhe's heart suddenly understood, and he didn't have to guess her identity anymore.
Except for Huo Qingxin, no one dared to be so bold, in front of him, squeezing his eyebrows and eyebrows with him.
Moreover, she also mentioned peach blossom brewing...
When he left Yangzhou last year, Huo Qingxin gave him a few jars of peach blossom brew to thank him for his help.
When I mentioned it again today, Wen Zhe missed the taste of peach blossom brew.
replied with a smile, "The peach blossom is gone, I don't know if the girl wants to taste it, my Gusu's osmanthus wine." ”
Huo Qingxin knew that this guy had already recognized her, and replied.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders..."
This opening, like an old friend who hasn't seen each other for a long time, is natural and logical.
In order to prevent the leakage, Wen Zhe took her and did not go up the mountain from the main gate of Yaowang Mountain, but returned to the Shenwu Hall from a dark passage.
After driving out all the people who served in the Shenwu Palace, Huo Qingxin dared to show up.
The time when Huo Qingxin came back was not a coincidence, just after the end of the year.
After seeing that Wen Zhe was the only one left in the Shenwu Palace, she hurriedly walked to the table with fruits and snacks in the hall.
You're welcome, just grab it and eat it.
In the past few days, in order to get here earlier, not only did she not sleep much, but she even ate a full meal and was hungry.
Seeing her like this, Wen Zhe couldn't help but shake his head again and again, there was no image of a woman in front of him, and there was no scruples, only Huo Qingxin.
kindly poured a cup of tea for someone who gobbled it up and laughed.
"How long have you been hungry, take a sip of tea, don't choke to death"
If Wen Xun finds out that this girl choked to death in the Shenwu Palace, I don't know how she will settle accounts with him.
It's okay not to speak, but when you speak, you choke on the people who are eating and are happy.
Wen Zhe looked at the dim sum that had been sprayed on the table, and immediately showed a look of disgust.
"Tsk... I said, Miss Huo Er, in front of the deity, you also take into account the image of your daughter's family."
As he spoke, he was disgusted and handed over the poured tea.
Huo Qingxin patted his choked and somewhat aching chest, glared at the person who said cool words viciously, and spit out a word mercilessly.
"Get out!"
took the teacup and made a few cooes, and the cup of tea was quickly drunk.
Wen Zhe was speechless and stroked his forehead, and shook his head one after another...
After seeing her eat and drink well, Wen Zhe couldn't help but take a closer look again, and now he couldn't see the person he was like at all.
"Your face...
Huo Qingxin wiped the corners of her mouth, heard him mention her face, and subconsciously touched her face and said.
"How's that, don't you see it at all?"
Wen Zhe nodded, still puzzled, Huo Qingxin not only changed his appearance, but even his voice also changed.
At the bottom of the mountain just now, if he hadn't seen her keep frowning at him, and the reminder later, he wouldn't have thought it was her.
Among the girls he knew, there was really no second one like Huo Qingxin, who behaved boldly and rudely.
I think he is also a famous beautiful man in the world, how many people have seen him, they have to look at him a few more times, how can he not compare to a plate of pastries in the eyes of this girl.
Pull back your thoughts and look up and down again.
"Indeed, there is no flaw...
It's just that I don't know if Wen Xun would recognize her if she was here today.
Thinking of the half piece of jade pendant that was sent, Wen Zhe asked.
"Where did you get this jade pendant?"
As he spoke, he put the half of the jade pendant on the table.
I've seen this thing before. He also kept wondering if the old man had returned.
Unexpectedly, it was this person.
Huo Qingxin stretched out, picked up the thing, and put it away carefully, how could she still have the leisure to explain so much to him now.
"I don't have time to talk to you too much now, I came back from this adventure to see Xiang.
As soon as he heard the name, Wen Zhe couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong with her? Are you okay? ”
Huo Qingxin couldn't help frowning, shook his head and said.
"I thought she would leave with me and maybe forget everything that happened here, but...
I knew it would be like this, so she didn't take her with her.
Wen Zhe was also a little nervous and asked. "What the hell is going on!"
"She was sick, very serious, after being injured in Yaowangzong before, she left sequelae, and then she met my brother... The mind is depressed, and the disease is terminal! ”
Wen Zhe listened, a little worried, but also understood why Huo Qingxin would risk coming back.
After thinking about it, he asked, "Where is she now, why don't I go to Bashu with me?"
Huo Qingxin shook his head and said, "If you leave Gusu, Wen Xun and Ji Chen will inevitably be suspicious, besides, when I came back this time, I already knew about Jianxiang's illness and specially came back to get medicine."
"What medicine!"
Huo Qingxin paused, and only after a moment did he slowly tell him.
"King Teng's inner guts!"
When the words fell, Wen Zhe's face changed first, and many questions were added to his heart.
Knowing that Huo Qingxin was worried about Su Jianxiang's condition at the moment, he didn't continue to ask more.
Tell the truth, "On Yaowang Mountain, there is indeed a Tengwang snake, but this Tengwang snake has a strange whereabouts, and it is even more ferocious and abnormal, and it is extremely difficult to catch it by day and night."
"I know all this, no matter how difficult it is, now only it can save Jianxiang, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I have to go."
Looking at the firmness in his eyes, Wen Zhe couldn't help but feel a little admiration and said.
"Rest tonight, and when it gets dark tomorrow, I will go into the mountain with you!"
"Thank you!"
