Chapter Forty-Eight: The Night of the Departure
Following Shi Feizi's pace, Shao Liang came to the river, Lin Jiuwan followed at some point, looking curious and wanting to watch, Shi Feizi did not shy away from it, picked up a lot of small stones by himself, and placed them in the shallow water in a step-by-step manner.
While placing the stones in turn, Shi Feizi did not forget to explain: "Brother Shaobaitou, you listen well, it is impossible for all formations to leave the foundation of the Eight Gates, and this set of life-destroying arrays, we need to hide the death gate behind the life gate, in order to make the enemy unable to distinguish between the two gates of life and death, you look at ......"
As he spoke, he saw Shi Feizi's fingers tremble suddenly, and the speed was like a phantom, almost in one go, and he rearranged the stones that had been placed in advance into a new look, and it happened that a fish swam in the murmuring river at this time.
Shao Liang and Lin Jiuwan held their breath almost at the same time, staring intently at the fish, not knowing what the fate of the fish would be.
Just when the fish was about to drill into the extinction array that Shi Feizi had set up in advance, Shi Feizi smirked twice, and then, only to hear a dull sound of "poof", and then saw that the fish was inexplicably split in two, and the blood seemed to have not had time to be released, and the fish's corpse disappeared with the flowing water.
Shao Liang and Lin Jiuwan were stunned, while Shi Feizi looked confident and satisfied, smirking.
"How is it? Brother Shaobaitou, the old man didn't lie to you, right?" Shi Feizi said proudly.
Shao Liang couldn't help but nod and said, "Great...... Awesome, but ......"
"What's wrong?"
"It's just that isn't this too cruel? Split it in half?" Shao Qi was still a little worried.
Shi Feizi spat again and said, "You stinky boy! Are you really stupid or fake stupid? Why is a big old man so grinding and chirping? Forget it, I don't want to learn, right? The old man still doesn't teach!"
"Don't don't, don't, second brother! I'll learn! I'll learn!" Shao Qi hurriedly apologized.
"Hmph, if you want to learn, don't be verbose, the old man hates rambling the most!" Shi Feizi said angrily.
"Yes, yes......" Shao Qi nodded frequently.
"In this way, you watch, the old man re-arranges ......"
Then, Shi Feizi patiently taught Shao Liang tirelessly, and Shao Qi also studied seriously, repeatedly trying to arrange the formation by himself, although there were many mistakes in the middle, resulting in the failure of the formation, but finally when the sky was about to be dark, Shao Liang finally succeeded, and the extinguishing array had been memorized in Shao Qi's mind.
The wine was also drunk, the drunken fish was also eaten, the distant sky revealed the white belly of the fish, Jiang Yousi and Shi Feizi invariably showed a trace of tiredness, and the two of them were obviously a lot haggard after sleepless nights, only Shao Liang and Lin Jiuwan were still sober.
"Okay, that's the end of tonight, right? No, it's already dawn, haha, the old man hasn't drunk all night for a long time, so it feels good!" Jiang Yousi was the first to speak.
Shi Feizi also nodded and said, "Yes, old fellow, I'm afraid you can't hold up your physique, right?"
"Haha, the teacher is three years old, you are not bad!" Jiang Yousi laughed loudly: "There is still more time in the future, why don't we get together here every night, drink and have fun, it is very pleasant!"
"Okay, will the old man still be afraid of you?" Shi Feizi said firmly.
Shao Liang hesitated, because now is the last day deadline given to him by Liu Hanxian, and when the day dawns, it is time for him to fulfill his promise to Liu Hanxian, and today is going to the Jiuji Gate in Nanyao Prefecture to apprentice, obviously, Jiang Yousi and Shi Feizi do not know.
Lin Jiuwan on the side seemed to sense Shao Liang's embarrassment, so he helped Shao Liang and said: "Master, senior, there is a small situation, the junior wants to tell you about it......"
"Oh, what's the situation? Jiang Yousi said curiously.
Shi Feizi also cast a curious gaze.
Lin Jiuwan nodded and said: "Shao Baitou is afraid that he will leave Yinxuan Mountain for a few days recently, you should know that he is a disciple of Liu Hanxian's sect, Liu Hanxian has assigned him a task, and he needs to leave for a few days." β
"Oh?" Jiang Yousi and Shi Feizi looked at Shao Qi and asked in unison, "Brother Shao Baitou, is there such a thing?"
Shao Liang nodded in disappointment and said, "Yes, this is true, Brother Jiang, Second Brother Junior, I have already promised Liu Hanxian, this trip ...... Gotta go!"
"Why is it so sudden?" Jiang Yousi frowned and said, "Do you want the old man to go to Liu Hanxian for a few words and let him change his choice?"
Without waiting for Shao Yu to reply, Shi Feizi interjected: "Hey, old guy, are you willing to talk more with that fake girl?
Seeing this, Shao Yu hurriedly refused: "Brother Jiang, Senior Second Brother, there is no need to be like this, besides, I won't be going for long, and I will come back, and then I will bring some stronger rotten wine, let's drink him for three days and three nights, without sleep!"
"Haha! Three days and three nights are good! "Happy!" Jiang Yousi laughed loudly: "Then the old man is waiting for your stronger rotten wine!"
"Haha, good, good!" Shi Feizi also echoed: "The old man is also waiting! By the way, brother Shaobaitou, in addition to the rotten wine, you have to find something more delicious and delicious for the old man!"
"Don't worry! Good wine and good food, bring it together!" said Shao Qi with a vow.
"In that case, then the three of us brothers can make an appointment, and when the young white-headed brothers come back from their errands, we will still be here, and we will not see you or leave! Drink for three days and three nights, and never sleep!" Jiang Yousi smiled heartily.
"Definitely! The old man is already a little impatient!" Shi Feizi laughed with a smile.
Hearing the answer of the two, Shao Liang was suddenly relieved, so he nodded with a smile and said, "A word is a certainty, and thousands of horses are difficult to chase!"
"Hahahaha......"
"Hahahaha......"
Subsequently, in such a harmonious atmosphere, Jiang Yousi and Shi Feizi left the river bank one after another, and went back to rest, and before Shi Feizi left, he also gave Shao Yu the same bamboo slip, and explained that this is the eight tricks, and Jiang Yousi's instructions, let Shao Yu have nothing to do and practice diligently, Shao Yu can only be sincerely moved, looking at Jiang Yousi's figure and Shi Feizi, and gradually disappeared on the river bank until he disappeared completely.
However, sometimes a hurried goodbye is a farewell, but the current young man doesn't know it.
Jiang Yousi and Shi Feizi left, but only Lin Jiuwan was not in a hurry to leave, but stood in place as if he had something on his mind, as if waiting for something.
"Why, aren't you tired?" said Shao Qi curiously.
Lin Jiuwan just shook his head and said: "Shao Baitou, you go, I don't know how long it will take to come back, if when you come back, I am no longer on Yinxuan Mountain, then I must go back to the Gradual Pavilion in Beining Prefecture, the agreement between you and me, don't forget, if you don't want to stay on this Yinxuan Mountain anymore, you must remember to come to the Gradual Pavilion to find me......"
Speaking of this, Lin Jiuwan's face was a little pale, as if he had just experienced a period of pain, which was intriguing.
"Uh......" Shao Qi nodded awkwardly and said, "Okay, little wine girl, don't worry, if I really have nowhere to go, I will definitely go to that gradual pavilion to join you......!"
Shao Liang wanted to use laughter to relieve his embarrassment, but found that after laughing, he was even more embarrassed.
"Don't call me Xiaojiu, that's not my name, my name is Lin Jiuwan, you must remember. Lin Jiuwan's mood was still very low.
"Uh, I...... I know. Shao Liang was even more embarrassed.
Lin Jiuwan nodded with a wry smile, then waved his hand at Shao Liang, turned around and left, leaving only Shao Liang with a thin back, which made Shao Liang a little confused.
Looking at Lin Jiu's flowing cyan long skirt, gently blowing in the wind, as if like a fairy falling from the sky, Shao Liang was a little obsessed, but a little overwhelmed, a very tangled emotion is rushing into the heart, maybe for Shao Liang, the so-called hurried encounter is a lifetime of involvement.
"Hey, Lao Tzu has no ability, when Lao Tzu is more capable, I will definitely marry you and go home to be a mother-in-law!" Shao Liang looked at the figure of Lin Jiuwan, who was gradually getting smaller, and secretly sighed, and then turned around and left, walking towards the residence on the edge of the cliff, with a firm step.
When Shao Yu returned to his residence, it was already dark, and wisps of warm sunlight were shining through the windowsill and onto the floor of the room.
Maybe it's because of today's itinerary, Shao Liang doesn't have a trace of sleepiness at the moment, just thinking about being able to leave here quickly, so as to embark on the road to the Jiuji Gate of Nan Shao Zhou, which has two reasons, one is naturally to complete Liu Hanxian's entrustment as soon as possible, so as to exchange for his own freedom, and the second point is the destination of this trip, which is Nan Shao Zhou, which is also his hometown, Shao Liang has his own plan, that is, he wants to return to the Shaojia tailor shop, one is to fill the long-term longing, and the other is to find a sister's breathγ
Unconsciously, Shao Liang has fully accepted the reality of his sister's death, although it is not painful, but it is hidden deep in his heart.
While he was in a reverie, there was a knock on the door.
"Shaoguan, are you awake?" is the voice of Hehuan, and Shao Qi is already familiar with it.
"It's coming!" Shao Yu responded, then brought a basin of water, washed his face, and after a brief tidying up, he turned around and opened the door.
He Huan didn't take the meal, but said with a smile on his face: "Young official, Master Liu has been waiting for you for a long time." β
Shao Liang nodded and said, "Let's go!"
Without a trace of attachment, Shao Liang just wanted to get out of here quickly.
Familiar with the road, Shao Qi followed Hehuan and soon came to Liu Hanxian's room, at this time Liu Hanxian was sitting alone at the tea table, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Hehuan retreated, and Liu Hanxian also opened his eyes.
"Shao Baitou, how did you rest last night?" Liu Hanxian smiled slightly.
"Well, it's not bad. Shao Liang nodded and said, "When will I leave?"
"There's no hurry. Liu Hanxian stood up, snapped his fingers in the direction of the dark room in the room, and then said loudly: "I said, I will find someone to escort you, and then let him disguise himself as a hawker and wait outside the Nine Poles Gate to receive your map, so now, you can get to know each other first." β
As Liu Hanxian spoke, the dark room of the room was opened, and a man with a black cloth covering his face came out of it......
