Chapter 38: The Loss of a Word

"The road of life is like a long dream, the wind and frost in the road are dry, and the dream in the red dust has many directions......"

Out of Qingping County, riding leisurely on the empty official road in the wild, Xia Fan suddenly sang a familiar song in his previous life on a whim, but unfortunately there was no Lanruo Temple ahead, let alone Nie Xiaoqian waiting for them.

Shi Xiaofei followed behind Xia Fan without saying a word, as if he had long been accustomed to Xia Fan's strange behavior of occasionally letting go of himself, isn't it just singing a song, what's the big deal.

Although he couldn't understand what Xia Fan was singing, as long as his seniors were happy, it would be fine.

At the end of the song, Xia Fan was in no mood to continue singing, because the familiar song inadvertently evoked all kinds of memories of his previous life.

From the song to the movie, from the movie to the reality, from the reality to the plane and high-speed rail.

If there are high-speed rail planes, why would they choose horses, an ancient and backward means of transportation, not to mention slowly, so that their buttocks and thighs are uncomfortable.

"Senpai, what's wrong with you?"

Shi Xiaofei was keenly aware that Xia Fan was in a different mood, and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm thinking about how many days it will take from Qingping to Chongzhou Daminshan, if there is a plane and a high-speed rail, it would be good, but think about how much knowledge I learned from school has been returned to the teacher, not to mention that I am a liberal arts student, not a science and engineering student, even if I want to build a steam engine, I don't know where to start, it seems that I can't count on the day I get to the train in my life." ”

Xia Fan said with a stunned expression.

“...... Senior, I have inquired, and it takes about three days to arrive from Qingping to Chongzhou Damin Mountain on horseback. Shi Xiaofei automatically filtered out the strange words Xia Fan said.

"Three days?Is Chongzhou close to Qingping?"

Xia Fan's geographical understanding of this world is quite vague, where is where it is not clear at all, and the ancient map has extraordinary significance for the feudal dynasty, and it is not allowed to flow into the people at all.

In fact, the younger generation doesn't know how far Qingping is from Chongzhou, but they have only heard about it from businessmen. Shi Xiaofei said with some shame.

"Alright, I got it. ”

Xia Fan waved his hand disappreciatively, but he thought in his heart that he must get a map out at that time, after all, how can he travel without a map?

After leaving Qingping for most of the day, Xia Fan didn't notice that there was a guy with long eyes behind him secretly tailing, but what he didn't know was that his whereabouts quietly spread to all parts of the rivers and lakes.

......

"Gu Gongzi!

At the same time, Zhao Qingtong hurried back to Qingping's inn in a hurry, accompanied by a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe with an elegant temperament.

"Senior sister, you're back......

The moment Miss Huang saw Zhao Qingtong, she pounced on Zhao Qingtong like a jade swallow.

"Gu Xiqiao has seen his predecessors. ”

After Gu Xiqiao nodded slightly towards Miss Zhao, he saluted respectfully to the middle-aged man beside him.

"Xiqiao, you don't have to be so polite, I've got you covered for this time. The middle-aged man smiled closely.

But the younger generation was ashamed and failed to complete the task assigned to him by the teacher. Gu Xiqiao smiled bitterly.

"I've heard Qingtong say it, it's not your fault, it's just your bad luck. The middle-aged man shook his head in relief.

"Senior sister, that wicked man has escaped!"

At this time, Miss Huang suddenly broke free from Zhao Qingtong's embrace and said eagerly.

"Gu Gongzi, what Wan'er said is the truth?"

Zhao Qingtong's face changed when he heard this.

"Wan'er is right, that senior master has indeed left Qingping......"

Gu Xiqiao sighed lightly, and even told the cause and effect of the antecedents.

"I see. ”

After listening to Gu Xiqiao's speech, Zhao Qingtong suddenly said thoughtfully.

"Xiqiao, you're doing a good job. The middle-aged man praised Gu Xiqiao. "Now we can be sure that the master is not greedy for stealing the heavens, which means that there is still room for maneuver in this matter. ”

"But senior, if we want to claim back the Heaven Thief Decision, how can we fulfill the conditions proposed by the other party?" Gu Xiqiao couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, the old man still has some friendship with the people who picked up the star building, and the old man will try to convince them when the time comes. ”

The middle-aged man said calmly.

"What if the person who picks the star tower doesn't agree?" Gu Xiqiao said worriedly.

"Since the old man is here, he naturally won't go home empty-handed. ”

The middle-aged man said in a calm tone.

Gu Xiqiao's eyelids couldn't help jumping after hearing this, this is a sign that he is going to do it if he doesn't agree with each other!

Could it be—

Is this battle of the Grandmasters inevitable?

"Senior, please forgive the junior for taking the liberty to say that if you can, the junior doesn't want the senior to fight with that master. ”

Gu Xiqiao finally confided in his heart.

"Xiqiao, it seems that you have been hit hard this time. ”

The middle-aged man frowned slightly.

"Uncle Shi, please don't embarrass Gu Gongzi. ”

Zhao Qingtong came forward at the right time to help Gu Xiqiao relieve the siege, because the clear-eyed people noticed that the middle-aged man showed a trace of unhappiness in and out of his words.

Although Gu Xiqiao's intentions were good, there was another meaning implied in his words.

When he advised the middle-aged man not to make a move, was he reminding him that he was not able to win against the other party?

What does this make the middle-aged man, who is also a grandmaster, think?

Every Grandmaster is proud.

And Gu Xiqiao's words obviously touched the taboo of the grandmaster.

"Xiqiao, you go back, then the old man will take Qingtong and Wan'er to Da Min Mountain, and I don't need your company for the time being. ”

The middle-aged man turned his head and didn't look at Gu Xiqiao again.

"The juniors know. ”

As he spoke, Gu Xiqiao arched his hand towards the three of them with a gloomy expression, and then left the room.

"Uncle Shi, what's wrong with you, why don't you let Gu Gongzi continue to follow us?"

The yellow girl on the side looked at the middle-aged man in confusion.

"Uncle Shi is fine, it's just that Xiqiao has been out of the rivers and lakes for many years, and it's time to go back to the sect and reflect on it. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and touched the yellow girl's head, and explained with a kind face.

Gu Xiqiao left the inn without dragging his feet, because he knew that the longer he stayed in the inn, the more it would undoubtedly obstruct the eyes of his predecessors.

Who allowed him to say the wrong thing himself?

"Brother Xiqiao!"

When Gu Xiqiao was leading the horse aimlessly down the street, someone at the roadside noodle stall suddenly stopped him.

"You are?"

Gu Xiqiao subconsciously followed the prestige, but saw a raunchy young man at the noodle stall beckoning to him.

"In the lower forest and. ”

Lin He smiled and looked at Gu Xiqiao who came forward.

"Lin He?" Gu Xiqiao thought for a moment and immediately reacted. "You are a contemporary descendant of Heluo, Lin He?"

"That's right, it's down there. Lin He smiled even more.
