Chapter Twenty-Six: Parting Ways
By the time Jiuhan woke up, it was already dusk, Lu Shu was already standing quietly on the riverbank drinking water, and Jiuhan's eyes were Wu Liangzi's slightly gloomy back.
The back was relatively thin, but it seemed to be crawling with melancholy.
Hearing that Jiu Half-awake turned around, Wu Liangzi turned his head and asked, "How do you feel when you wake up?" ”
Jiu Ban shook his body bones, and felt fine: "Fortunately, nothing major happened." ”
Although he didn't say it, in fact, Jiuhan's body had indeed changed greatly. Not only was his own physique much stronger than before, but when he had just stretched his muscles and bones, Nine and a Half obviously found that just for his arms, both strength and speed had greatly improved, at least several times higher than before.
It seems that killing the Weeping Grave is a great benefit to me.
But in fact, the benefits are not only these, but there are some things that even Nine and a Half himself can't say. For example, when he just woke up, Jiu Ban himself faintly felt that in the middle of the Hekou River, there seemed to be a big white fish wandering around the body of the big fish he had just killed, and he refused to leave for a long time.
Is it a delusion? Jiu and a half are not sure, let alone ask Wu Liangzi.
After all, what that woman has done in the past few days has really scared him.
"Then I'm leaving. Wu Liangzi spoke, and his voice seemed to have some parting sadness.
"Are you going back to the land of the cow?"
"Yes. I originally wanted to take the opportunity to travel the world this time, but this time, the appearance of Shiyu and Ray in the country of hegemony made me very uneasy, and I had to go back and tell Shizun to make a decision again. ”
"Fish?" although he used a tone of surprise, in fact, he was already surprised. From Shi Yu's murder to Wu Liangzi's assassination of the monarch of the country, it seems that any unattainable magical thing that treats the rules as nothing can appear around him.
Wu Liangzi sighed and said, "Yes, eel, this creature is much more terrifying than Shiyu. Before, I wondered why there were a large number of Shiyu in Yubei City, but now it seems that the reason is indeed terrible. The most terrifying thing about the eel is that it will not be born easily, and there will be soldiers in its towns at every turn, and a large number of teachers will follow the eel when it is born. Eels are not welcome in any country, because wherever they appear, there must be war. ”
"This ......"
"So actually, the hegemony will be chaotic. ”
What Wu Liangzi didn't say was that the place where the eel appeared was so close to Yubei City, so the place that was about to be filled with war was probably Yubei City. Or at the very least, the whole river will be unsettled.
Jiuhan was silent for a long time and did not speak. Originally, the greatest hope for the restoration of the country was on the hegemon, although the country of the negative was friendly with the hegemon and the relic, but after all, the country of the relentless was located in the southwesternmost part of the entire continent, how could Yuanshui save the near fire? Moreover, it seems that he inadvertently killed the prince of Jairus, presumably some people are now searching for themselves on a large scale......
When the nine and a half were wandering outside the world, Wu Liangzi seemed to explain a few more words, but the nine and a half didn't listen to it, just kept nodding their heads. Seeing that Jiu Ban seemed to understand what he said, Wu Liangzi cleaned up and got up and prepared to leave. On the side, it seemed that he felt that Wu Liangzi was about to leave, and Lu Shu trotted all the way to the boat, rubbing her head affectionately, looking reluctant.
Seeing Wu Liangzi get up, Jiu Ban seemed to remember something, and then raised his head and stopped Wu Liangzi: "Wait, you killed the monarch of the overlord country, what should I do if the country of the hegemony retaliates against me?"
Wu Liangzi didn't look back, just gently stroked Lu Shu's head and said, "Your Majesty's Prince Bingchou is generous and benevolent, and he is kind-hearted and concentric with the country of the imprisoned ox. When I return to the country of the imprisoned cow and ask for a letter from the master, I will naturally not chase and kill you and me after Bingchou ascends the throne. ”
After a pause, Wu Liangzi added: "In this huge world, how can there be a prince who doesn't stare at the throne?"
Lu Shu seemed to understand something, and lowered his head slightly, while Jiu Ban seemed to be used to it, he just closed his eyes slightly, and then let out a long sigh.
When he opened his eyes again, Wu Liangzi's figure had disappeared.
Nine and a half rode on Lu Shu, heading all the way to the southeast instead of the southwest.
The civil strife of the hegemon is undecided, and the monarch can be said to have died indirectly because of him, and the prince has not yet ascended the throne, so there is no way to seek help; but in addition to the country of the hegemon, there are still the countries of the fierce and the negative ones, and in the memory of the prince of the nine halves, the country of the fierce is not only the country with the most complete criminal law procedure system among the nine countries, but also everyone is fair and just.
Presumably, if you can get the help of the country of the fierce, it will no longer be difficult to recover the country. Therefore, in the end, Jiuhan decided to go to the relatively distant country of the Fierce Beast to ask for help, and at the same time look for a second person who can help him complete the transformation of his life through the heavens - the prostrategist. After all, in a country that pays attention to the legal system, such people should not be uncommon.
However, the Land of the Fierce is located in the southwesternmost part of the entire continent, and there are only two ways to get from the Hegemony to the Fierce Beast: through the Land of the Mocking Wind, or by taking a detour. It's just that the country of the mocking wind is the real culprit of the national war, and if you cross the country of the mocking wind, will there be a great danger? No matter how far or near, there are pros and cons, but in the end, Jiuhan still chose the latter in terms of speed and safety.
After all, he is the only one who has been wiped out, and if even he dies on the way, then I am afraid that the negative will really be the death of the country.
After traveling all the way to the southeast for half a day, Lu Shu didn't feel anything, but at this time, Jiu and a half were extremely thirsty. For more than nine and a half days, I have no appetite, but I am very thirsty. The water bladder on his body had been drunk an hour ago, and his throat was almost smoking.
Walking to a small stream, Jiuban patted Lu Shu's head and signaled it to stop. What is rare is that this time Lu Shu did not resist or tease Jiuhan, but obediently placed Jiuhan next to the stream, and walked a few steps upstream to drink water.
The stream was murmuring, and the sound of the water was gradual. Although the creek is uninhabited, it is also a beautiful rural scenery. Nine and a half drank the water of the stream, and then filled the water bladder and was about to get up, but he noticed that something seemed to be shining in the grass with a different light. Pushing aside the grass, I saw a jade hairpin lying quietly in it. The jade hairpin is several inches long, crystal clear and almost flawless, and there are roses on it, which immediately attracted the attention of nine and a half.
Rose...... Isn't that Qiao He's favorite flower?
The jade hairpin dotted with lotus flowers and the mountain scene beside the stream pulled Jiuban out of reality in an instant, and he easily fell into memory.
In the world of memories, everything seems to be very beautiful. He returned to that small hidden village and spent the rest of his life with Qiao He in a warm and peaceful world, chopping wood, drinking tea, cooking rice, and doing laundry. There was no war or fighting, the country of the negative was not destroyed, and he was not the prince of the negative army, but only nine and a half.
But memories are always good, and Lu Shu's hiss pulls him back to reality, as if urging him to get on his way.
But Jiu Ban had already decided to wait for the owner of this jade hairpin in the same place, he couldn't bear to let this beautiful jade hairpin be abandoned in the wilderness, he wanted to return it to its original owner.
"Don't scream, wait for me in a while, let's return the things to others and leave." ”
Lu Shu casually shaved his hooves, as if to express his dissatisfaction.
"Obedient, very fast. "Nine and a half seems to be coaxing a child.
In fact, Jiu Ban himself is also a little strange, why is Lu Shu so honest today? has he grown up? Or did Wu Liangzi say something to it?
After pacifying Lu Shu, the nine and a half began a long wait by the stream. He waited, waited, waited, and just as he was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
"I don't know if this brother has ever seen a jade hairpin?"
The sleepy-eyed nine-and-a-half was tapped on the shoulder and woke up suddenly. He just wanted to look back to see who this person was, but before he could turn around, a smell of peach blossoms poured into his nose.
Woman?
turned around, looked up, and was greeted by a beautiful face. Maybe it's not appropriate to use the word "good" to describe a man, but the brain of Jiuhan, who received the shock, almost immediately popped up such a word to evaluate the face of the man in front of him.
It's so beautiful.
Looking at Jiu Ban's stunned face, the man seemed to be a little embarrassed and added: "Brother Tai, dare to ask Brother Tai if he has ever picked up a jade hairpin?"
"Oh, oh, yes, yes, is this it?" Jiu Ban finally reacted and hurriedly handed over the jade hairpin.
The man who got the jade hairpin looked left and right and finally confirmed that it was indeed his jade hairpin, and then took the hairpin into his arms and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, brother." ”
Nine and a half salutes: "Where and where, the thing will return to the original owner, and the real number should be." ”
In the process of talking to the mysterious man in the ninth half, Lu Shu, who has always disliked relatives, actually took the initiative to walk to the man's side, and kept rubbing and rubbing with his head, rubbing and rubbing, with an extremely intimate expression.
Not only nine and a half, but even the mysterious man's reaction to Lu Shu was a little surprised: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, this ...... But Lushu?"
"Ha, yes. I have something to do in the next place to rush to the land of the beast, and this spirit beast is a gift from a friend before leaving......."
"Hahaha......" Hearing this, the mysterious man smiled and said: "How can Lu Shu be an ordinary spirit animal?
Jiu Ban was startled when he heard this, and then hurriedly said: "No, no, although I don't know what Your Excellency's intentions are, but this spirit beast was given by a friend before leaving, and besides, we have already had a certain relationship between us along the way...... " Before the words were finished, Jiu Ban stared at Lu Shu who was rubbing under the mysterious man's hand, but he didn't expect to be stared back at at him, he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
"Anyway, the divine beast Lushu is impossible for anyone to endure the pain of love, you and I can only say that fate has not arrived. After the man finished speaking, he glanced down at Lu Shu's eyes. At this moment, the eyes of a man and a beast turned out to be sympathetic.
It's just that at this time, the nine and a half who were standing on the side were a little embarrassed.
"Since Brother Tai refuses to cut his love, then he will unlock his divine ability for Lu Shu, and he should repay Brother Tai's kindness. ”
At this moment, the five fingers of the man touching Lu Shu's head instantly flowed with red, orange, yellow, green and blue light, and instantly merged into Lu Shu's heavenly spirit. In the next second, Lu Shu fell to the ground with a bang, as if he had fainted.
This scene made Nine and a Half almost stunned. Didn't you say that it was good to help Lu Shu unlock the divine energy? Why is something wrong???
He came to his senses, and just wanted to find the mysterious man to theorize, but found that the man had already risen into the air and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a paragraph lingering in his ear: "If Brother Tai can't tame Lu Shu in a short time, just remember the next four words, 'Lu Shu is good wine.'" ’”
Is Lushu good wine?
Magical.
In the jungle, the mysterious man scurries through the air, all the way to the west. Suddenly, there was a roar of an eagle, and the man leapt into the air above the jungle, took a roll of letter paper from between the talons of an eagle, and destroyed it as soon as he read it.
In this process, the man's speed did not decrease but increased, and he was startled by the roar of birds, beasts and insects all the way west.
"It turns out that the prince is not dead yet. The man muttered.
Further west, above the court of the country of mocking winds, there were bursts of dissatisfied voices among the courtiers. Because just now they received the news that the time for the return of the head Zhu Yan will be delayed for six hours.
Why? No.
After a whole night, Lu Shu woke up, and it seemed that there had been a radical change.
Where is the change? It is difficult to explain in words, in short, Lu Shu Shen Xing walked for a day, and he successfully arrived at the country of the fierce with nine and a half.
After entering the city, Lu Shu still ignored Jiuhan. If it weren't for the fact that Nine and a Half always grabbed it, this idle divine beast would probably have slipped around on its own and didn't know where it had gone.
The country is located at the southwest tip of the mainland, and the people are good at the law and lawsuits, all of which are based on fairness and justice. The atmosphere here is rigorous, and although the nine and a half are in the market, everything is in order, and there is no sense of chaos. Everyone has a high crown and long clothes, and it is a big country.
All this made Jiuhan look at it in his eyes, revealing a sigh of "worthy of being a country of fierce people".
"Guest officer, please, the good roast duck daughter red in the shop, why don't you have some?"
On the side of the street, the shouting of the junior two in the post station reached his ears, causing the nine half-half bodies to shake. Daughter red wine and then looked at Lu Shu, who was not honest and turned around with his head around and around, and his mind moved, and led Lu Shu towards the post station.
"This guest officer, please ~ what do you drink?" Seeing Jiu Ban approaching with a different "horse", Xiao Er immediately greeted him. Generally speaking, the identity of the guest who can lead the tall horse as a mount is a little different, although the guest's "horse" is a little weird, he still does not dare to slack off.
"Take my horse to feed me with grain and grass first, and then give me two good altars of daughter red!" Jiu Ban handed the reins out, and then deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "daughter red".
Sure enough, although Lu Shu's expression still didn't change much, its ears still moved slightly.
"Lushu good wine", I didn't expect it to be true.
Knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, Lu Shu, who has always suppressed him, actually showed his weakness this time, so it's no wonder that Jiuban is ruthless, isn't it?
Two jars of daughter red were brought to the table, and nine and a half asked for two catties of roast meat. After eating and drinking, her daughter Hong also got off half of the altar, and the intermittent hissing of Lu Shu reached the ears of Jiu and a half. In fact, there are a few heroes who don't drink at the post station? How many of the tables in this hall are not set up with wine jars? After eating and drinking, Lu Shu in the stable can't help but start to get anxious.
Before walking with Jiuhan, Lu Shu was either in a hurry or lived in other people's courtyards, how could he have the opportunity to contact wine? This is good without contact, but after a long time without contact, he suddenly pricked into a place with a strong aroma of wine, and how can Lu Shu, who wants good wine, endure it?
It's as if you suddenly put a plate of elbows in front of a meat-hungry person who has been a vegetarian for a long time and can't eat meat, and you don't let him eat it, how torturous must it be?
Estimating that the fire was almost there, Jiuhan beckoned Xiao Er over: "Xiao Er, please feed my unopened daughter Hong, to my horse." ”
"Ah, feed the horses with wine, are you sure you're right?"
"I'm sure you heard me right, go ahead. ”
So, in front of all the guests and the owner of the inn, the shopkeeper opened the unopened altar of daughter red on the spot, and then carefully brought it to Lu Shu.
It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Lu Shu was not ordinarily bold. I saw that he bit the mouth of the altar with his teeth, and when he looked up, he was a whale sucking cow drink, and after a while, the daughter of the altar was red and saw the bottom.
Such a heroic horse, the surprised and sharp crowd applauded one after another, and everyone couldn't help but be impressed by Lu Shu and Jiuhan.
It's just that Lu Shu didn't care about the applause of others at this time, it leaned its head against the wooden fence in the stable with a slightly drunk expression, and fell asleep.
At the post station, everyone's applause fell, and Jiu Ban was about to continue eating and drinking and then go upstairs to rest, but suddenly a rough voice came into his ears: "The horse is so good at wine, presumably the brother is also a person who can drink." I wonder if there will be a chance to invite my brother to a glass of wine?"
Jiuhan looked up, and a man in armor sat down with a pot of wine, and didn't ask Jiuhan if he allowed it.
