Chapter 17: Going Against the Rails

"I'm going to leave Sangshui. ”

Xia Fan is a very actionable person.

Now that he has made up his mind not to become the bearer of Shi Xiaofei's fate.

Right now.

He must put Shi Xiaofei's fate back on track.

Other words.

He needs to personally go to the Star Picking Tower of Da Min Mountain to capture Shi Xiaofei back to Sangshui County, and fulfill the fate that should belong to him.

"Childe, you want to leave Sangshui?!"

Liu Yingying looked at Xia Fan with a stunned expression, and the whole person was in a state of confusion.

What's going on here?

"Don't worry, I'm just leaving for a while, I'll be back tomorrow morning if it's too late, and you'll just stay in my room and take care of the people in the bed for me. ”

said.

Xia Fan walked towards the door.

He mentally calculated the distance.

From Sangshui in Qinzhou to Damin Mountain in Chongzhou, it is thousands of miles apart.

But he's fast.

As long as you don't get lost, you can reach it in three to five hours at the earliest, and if you slow it, it will just take twice the time.

Anyway, he was sure that he would be able to rush back to Sangshui by tomorrow morning.

The last time he ran thousands of miles from Wanyang to Qizhou, although he ran for a day and a night.

But on the way, he didn't know how many wrong roads he had run, and how fast he could get up when he stopped and stopped.

When he returned to Wanyang from Qizhou, he ran back half a day after being a little familiar with the journey.

What's more, he can even break through the sound barrier with full force explosion.

But he's not a machine, and he can't maintain the speed of sound for a long time.

His body is strong and strong, but after all, there is a limit to what he can bear.

It's like the average person running a hundred meters and ten thousand meters.

Who can run 10,000 meters and maintain a speed of 100 meters all the time?

Isn't this about human life?

"By the way, if something unexpected happens during the time I'm away, you can go and ask that Miss Zhao for help. ”

Before leaving.

Xia Fan didn't forget to remind the willow warbler in the room who had not yet come back to her senses.

"Childe!"

When Liu Yingying reacted and hurriedly chased out the door, where was Xia Fan's shadow in front of him.

"Miss Liu, what happened?"

At this time.

Zhao Qingtong happened to come out of the room, and at a glance he saw the willow warbler leaning on the door frame in a daze.

Wait a minute.

Isn't that the room with the surname Lu?

In broad daylight.

How could she be in that guy's room!

Could it be—

"It turned out to be Miss Zhao, the little woman was fine, and Miss Zhao was bothered to care. ”

Liu Yingying snorted, smiled at Zhao Qingtong reluctantly, and then returned to the room in a slight panic.

"Strange ......"

Zhao Qingtong suddenly frowned slightly, and looked thoughtfully at the room where Liu Yingying was hiding.

It seems like.

There was one person in the room besides her.

"Miss Zhao, what are you looking at?"

Xie Linyuan quietly appeared in front of Zhao Qingtong at some point.

"Nothing. ”

Zhao Qingtong's voice was cold, and he walked straight around Xie Linyuan towards the outside of the inn.

Because she's going to visit someone today.

The head snake of Sangshui County.

Liu Zhaoyi, the leader of the Chishui Gang.

"Dare to ask Mr. Xie what he is doing?"

Who knew that it would not be long after leaving the inn.

Zhao Qingtong keenly noticed that Xie Linyuan had been hanging behind him, not far away, not close to follow.

She couldn't help but stop, turned her head to stare at Xie Linyuan and said coldly.

"Miss Zhao, don't get me wrong, I'm just a little on the way with Miss Zhao. ”

Xie Linyuan said lightly.

"By the way?!"

Zhao Qingtong's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Isn't Miss Zhao going to visit Liu Zhaoyi? ”

Xie Linyuan said unhurriedly.

"Really?"

Zhao Qingtong glanced at Xie Linyuan deeply, turned around and ignored the other party.

Xie Linyuan continued to follow indifferently.

If you want to know about the local situation in Sangshui.

must not avoid the Chishui Gang.

Here's the problem.

Xie Linyuan's reputation in the rivers and lakes is not very good now, even if he takes the initiative to find the Chishui Gang, it is estimated that the Chishui Gang will adopt an attitude of disobedience to the yang.

After all, this is not the same as it used to be.

Excalibur Villa is no longer the Excalibur Villa of a hundred years ago.

There is no fame, but no strength.

Otherwise, when I was in Qingping Mountain.

There will not be a single person in the rivers and lakes who will rush up to die.

Because these rivers and lakes have long since taken Shenjian Villa into account.

In other words, it is Gu Xi Bridge.

Surely few people dared to step forward and make a move.

But Zhao Qingtong is different.

With Xie Linyuan's eyesight, it is naturally not difficult to see.

The other party is obviously from an extraordinary background, maybe he is a disciple of a major sect that has come out to train.

Her strength, her self-confidence, her bearing.

It is simply impossible for a small family to cultivate such a disciple.

If Zhao Qingtong visits Liu Zhaoyi, he will inevitably reap different results from himself.

Xie Linyuan had a clear calculation in his heart.

Since this is the case, then he might as well rub the other party's identity cheaply.

Xie Linyuan is arrogant, but this does not mean that he does not know how to judge the situation.

Once, in order to take revenge, he even did not hesitate to abandon his dignity and bow down to a stranger.

Because he knows it well.

If you want to get something, you have to give something.

Even if it's your own face, your own dignity.

It turns out.

He was right.

Especially after he learned that the person he had knelt down to worship was a great master, he became even more determined to worship him.

In a nutshell.

He's going to hug his thighs.

The kind that can't even be kicked away.

I have to say that Xie Linyuan does have the potential to be a hero.

Afford to put it down.

The hand should never be soft, and the head should not be ambiguous.

......

Meanwhile.

Xia Fan had already left Sangshui.

All the way turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Chongzhou.

It was winter, and the roads were closed by heavy snowfall.

Just avoid rural towns.

Basically, you can't see half a figure on the way.

Even if someone sees Xia Fan who is fleeting, it is estimated that they will either think they are dazzled, or they will think that they have seen a ghost in broad daylight.

The so-called straight line between two points is the shortest.

After Xia Fan identified the direction of Chongzhou Damin Mountain, he crossed the mountain when he encountered the mountain, and crossed the water when he encountered the water, in short, he was right.

He's not a super road idiot like Zoro.

He's just just unfamiliar with the world.

He will have an impression of the places he has walked through, and he still knows which side is which.

Forget it doesn't matter.

Just stop and ask someone for directions.

When night falls.

Xia Fan finally arrived at Da Min Mountain.

"At this speed, it's a pity not to deliver express delivery. ”

After dissipating the true qi of the protective body around him, Xia Fan, who had transformed back into his body, stood casually on top of an ancient tree a hundred meters high in the deep mountains, muttering to himself while looking around.

"Where's the Star Picking Tower?"

Thankfully, the moon is shining well tonight.

Otherwise, Xia Fan, who was black and numb, didn't know where to start.

It didn't take long.

Xia Fan began to leap back and forth over different ancient trees.

For ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, the Star Picking Tower is indeed very hidden.

But who is Xia Fan?

He was in the deep mountains and old forests as if he had returned home, and he had even dug out his master at the beginning, let alone a big star-picking building!

In fact, Xia Fan has a better way.

The momentum of the Great Grandmaster exploded and he directly started to collapse a mountain, and the Star Picking Tower, which heard the movement, would definitely come out.

But Xia Fan didn't want to make too much of a fuss.

Because he didn't want to expose himself, and it had a very serious impact on his plans for the future.

"It should be here. ”

Half a day.

Xia Fan touched his smooth chin, stared at the mountains and forests shrouded in the mist in front of him, and muttered to himself.

No doubt.

The Star Picking Tower also used the technique of Qimen Dunjia to arrange obscurities such as maze.

This kind of trick is also to hide from ordinary people in the rivers and lakes.

It's just that thing to meet knowledgeable and grandmaster-level figures.

After the evening class.

Shi Xiaofei returned to his residence in a daze.

Before that.

He had no idea that the cultivation of the original Hidden World Sect would be so complicated.

From dawn to dusk.

It's also practicing, sparring, and listening to lectures.

Master Yu Hengchu said that he had fallen too far behind in the foundation, so he had to practice with the new disciples who had entered the building.

Unlike other brothers and sisters who have already completed the basics, they have their own freedom of practice.

If you want to go out of the mountain to experience.

You can pass the assessment directly in the building.

Shi Xiaofei is a wild son who can't bear loneliness, especially after burying his adoptive father, he wants to go to Sizhou to find his sister when his wish is fulfilled.

It is easy to enter the building and difficult to get out.

Yu Hengchu's attitude was very clear.

Want to go down?!

Yes, let's pass the building assessment first!

Otherwise, with his three-legged cat's kung fu, when the time comes, he won't know how to die when he goes out of the rivers and lakes and no one protects him.

So during this time.

Shi Xiaofei is desperately cultivating, desperately trying to make up for his foundation.

Here's the problem.

Any disciple who can make the Star Picking Building enter the door wall is not a person with extraordinary talents.

Compared to these fellow brothers.

Shi Xiaofei, who was from a humble background and had not received a complete martial arts inheritance, was immediately compared.

Especially every time you fight.

Shi Xiaofei will be beaten and his nose and face will be swollen.

Occasionally, the little clever will get lucky to defeat the sparring brothers.

He actually knew it in his heart.

Who made him enter the Star Picking Building through nepotism.

And his master is Yu Hengchu.

He is naturally a lot higher than these fellow brothers in terms of seniority, how can these brothers be convinced?

Sometimes people call themselves uncle, which is not a kind of joking name.

If he doesn't want others to look down on him, he can only defeat the other party openly.

After all.

After all, the rivers and lakes speak by strength.

Months of practice.

Shi Xiaofei was much stronger than before, and his skin became a little dark.

The most important thing is his strength.

After the careful teaching of Xingxinglou and Yu Hengchu, the current Shi Xiaofei is fully sure of winning the previous three selves.

It won't be long.

He will be able to officially step into the realm of enlightenment.

However, it is another threshold from enlightenment to Chaoyuan, and I heard the master say that with his qualifications, it will take five years to enter the Chaoyuan realm.

Five years!

This means that it will be five years before he can go down the mountain.

Because the assessment in the building is said to be only possible in the Chaoyuan realm.

As for the Grandmaster realm.

Shi Xiaofei didn't expect it at all.

After all, I don't know how many powerhouses in the Chaoyuan Realm in the rivers and lakes are stuck at the threshold of the grandmaster, and anyone who can step through this step is a once-in-a-century genius without exception.

Even his current senior brother Dai Xingheng is also stuck at this step.

Master has mentioned it several times.

If his adoptive father Cui Xingping hadn't died, maybe he would have been a grandmaster by now.

Shi Xiaofei asked Yu Hengchu curiously more than once.

What mistake did the adoptive father make at the beginning, so that Xingxinglou would abolish martial arts and expel him from the door.

However, every time Yu Hengchu avoided answering.

He told Shi Xiaofei.

When he becomes a grandmaster one day, he will naturally know everything.

on this.

Shi Xiaofei could only hide this doubt in his heart.

In the dead of night.

He thinks of Xia Fan from time to time.

This time.

The seniors should still be cultivating tirelessly, right?

It's no wonder that the seniors will be grandmasters.

Like yourself, when you come back to your room after a day's practice, you fall asleep.

"Shi Xiaofei!"

Vaguely.

Shi Xiaofei, who was lying on the bed and falling asleep, vaguely heard the voice of his senior.

He subconsciously opened his eyes.

Outcome.

As soon as his gaze adjusted to the darkness, he saw a familiar face.

"Dreams?"

Shi Xiaofei rubbed his eyes and said.

"Shi Xiaofei, wake up!"

Who knew that Xia Fan in front of him patted Shi Xiaofei's cheek angrily and said.

"Huh?!"

Shi Xiaofei, who felt the pain, woke up suddenly.

It's not a dream!

Why did the seniors come?!

"Senior, you are ......"

Shi Xiaofei instantly turned over and looked at Xia Fandao with an incredulous face.

"There's no time to explain!

Xia Fan said with a serious expression.

"Where are you going?!"

Shi Xiaofei said confusedly.

"Save the world!"

Xia Fan patted Shi Xiaofei's shoulder vigorously and said.

“...... Seniors, you're teasing juniors again. ”

Shi Xiaofei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

"Who teased you! Come with me!"

Xia Fan impatiently pulled Shi Xiaofei down the aisle.

"Senior ......"

Shi Xiaofei came back to his senses and suddenly broke free of Xia Fan's hand.

"I'm sorry, but I was a little too presumptuous......"

Xia Fan was stunned, and his feverish head calmed down, he looked at Shi Xiaofei with a tangled face, and sighed lightly.

"It's just that I need your help with something. ”

"Senior, it's not that the junior doesn't want to go with you, it's just that the junior leaves so rashly, the master and the building will definitely jump ......"

Shi Xiaofei said guiltily.

“...... Leave a letter for your master, saying that you want to go down the mountain to find your sister. ”

Xia Fan pondered for a moment.

"It's a good idea. ”

Shi Xiaofei nodded suddenly, and then went to find a pen and paper.

"This stupid kid still believes in me. ”

Xia Fan looked at Shi Xiaofei's busy figure, and suddenly felt a little upset in his heart.

"The seniors, the juniors have already written, we can go. ”

After checking the contents of the letter, Shi Xiaofei took a deep breath and said solemnly towards Xia Fan.

"Xiaofei, you haven't thought about it, what if I'm a bad guy who deliberately lures you out?"

Xia Fan didn't move, but looked at Shi Xiaofeidao with burning eyes.

"Senior, junior is just a nobody, so juniors can't figure out who would deliberately go to such great lengths to lure juniors out for juniors, not to mention, the Star Picking Building is heavily guarded, except for seniors, even ordinary grandmasters are difficult to quietly break into the building......"

Shi Xiaofei scratched the back of his head, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

"So you're not stupid. ”

Xia Fan shook his eyebrows.

"Senior ......"

Shi Xiaofei just smirked.

"Without further ado, let's go. ”

said.

Xia Fan didn't delay any longer, he grabbed Shi Xiaofei's shoulders and slipped out of the Star Picking Tower in an instant.

"Are you ready?"

Out of the Star Picking Tower, back to the deep mountains and old forests.

Xia Fan let go of his hand and began to move his hands and feet.

"What's ready?"

Shi Xiaofei was puzzled.

"Biting. ”

Xia Fan casually picked up a dead wood short stick from the ground and gave it to Shi Xiaofei.

“???”

Although Shi Xiaofei was a little unsure of what he meant, he still honestly bit the short stick that Xia Fan handed him.

The next moment.

Xia Fan grabbed Shi Xiaofei's back collar and shot out like an arrow from the string.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Shi Xiaofei's eyes were round, and he clenched his short stick and watched the surrounding scenery pass by dizzily.

Suddenly.

He felt as if the whole world was only left with himself and Xia Fan.

And Shi Xiaofei slowly fell into a stupid situation.

What's going on?

Am I flying?

Who am I, where am I, where am I going?

Is this the true strength of the Grandmaster?

Shi Xiaofei didn't know, because Yu Hengchu didn't tell him.

Xia Fan is not a grandmaster.

It's the great master who is the best in the world!
