Chapter 540: Wash your hands with a basin of water
Great Xia had not had such a heavy snowfall for many years, and in historical records, this was also the first blizzard in Xiyang that made cultivators helpless. But under it, the army of Great Xia supported each other to return to Xiyang, and had great respect for Xia Xiao and Ah Candle in front of the army.
They were leaving, and that was something that was well known to the whole army. At this point, there will be no more Seven Beasts on the battlefield, and they will be missing two extremely heroic companions. For the warriors, Xia Xiao will only become a legend in the future, but for Yi Yi, their departure is the beginning of another struggle.
At the gate of Xiyang City, Yi Yi personally carried a basin of water, and he didn't know how long he had been standing. But the water in the basin quickly lost its heat, but even though his nose was red and his hands were even more frozen, he did not put it down, as if to perform some kind of sacred ritual, and nothing could be interrupted, like a kind of faith.
If you link your faith with Xia Xiao, you have to find a new word to replace Ji Yi's behavior at this time, and it is very appropriate to use hope. Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, as well as many of the students' disciples of Daxia, are all hopeful, and when they return, Daxia will take on a new look.
In the past years, many students have never returned to their hometowns, but this year's Daxia is very special, and I believe that they will come back. Especially Xia Xiao, whether it is the peach blossoms in the Xia Mansion or the hibiscus flowers in the palace, they are all waiting for him, and the peach forest in the academy is destined to not keep him!
Ji Yi and Xia Xiao looked at each other, and the latter seemed to understand the meaning of the former, so he and Ah Candle took the initiative to step forward, without putting Ji Yi in an embarrassing situation.
In front of many soldiers, what Ji Yi, who had not rehearsed, did not say much inspiring, but he spoke seriously, like a parent, and was extremely worried that his children would not do their best. The preciousness of this period of time, thousands of gold and silver, and even a few cities and a few pieces of land cannot be exchanged.
"Wash your hands, go back to the academy to study quietly, don't get blood on the books, don't bring everything with you. There are many personnel, and there is a lot to learn in addition to strength. For you, and for Daxia, learn more. ”
In fact, Xia Xiao felt that everything he did in the academy was only for himself, but there should be no useless disputes at this time, so he just made a salute, and then put his hand into the basin and washed off the blood on it. Ah Candle then made the same move, and when he looked at Xia Xiao, Ji Yi stretched out his hand to let them enter Xiyang City.
Before walking on the saint, it seemed a little rude, but it was easy to say:
"Go back and pack your things, and let's go!"
"Yes. ”
Xia Xiao didn't refuse, Ji Yi said so, even if his plan was disrupted, he had to go back to the courtyard to pack his things. Ah Candle has been complaining and shouting:
"Why is he in such a hurry? I still want to finish lunch before leaving!"
"Isn't the academy's lunch delicious?"
"Fragrant, but I can't see everyone. ”
"There will be opportunities in the future. ”
Xia Jinghong walked into the courtyard, and then Xia Xu and Xia Wan followed, according to the old rules, before leaving one person in one embrace, and then prepared to leave. Originally, they could have stayed for a while, but Ji Yi's words also had some urging meaning. However, there is no harm in Xia Xiao and Ah Candle going back earlier, so let's go back quickly, the disciples of the academy have stayed in the outside world for too long, and it is not a good thing.
This time he was a little anxious, but Xia Xiao still spread his wings, Ah Candle sat on Jumang's back, and rose into the air with a wave of his hand, attracting the attention of countless generals in the city. They looked up at the air, Xia Xiao also lowered his head, and most of them looked at each other one by one, and then left extremely reluctantly.
For Xiyang, Xia Xiao's memory is only in the war, and the only bit of fun comes from his family and Ah Candle. But the boldness and uprightness of the military camp gave Xia Xiao a much better feeling than many bustling markets. Although the life inside is a bit simple, Xia Xiao's life is very similar to that rhythm, which is probably one of the reasons why he likes the military camp so much.
In the process of flying away from Xiyang, the father's eldest brother and second sister gradually disappeared and finally disappeared. Lin Tian and General Li Yang, Xie Helin and Yin Jun also left. They had different views on Xia Xiao, Lin Tian and Li Yang were respectful, and the latter was afraid. But it is an indisputable fact that all recognize his strength, and the corpses of 200,000 people still echo in his mind. They couldn't forget that day, in order to launch the march, it took a whole day to eradicate those corpse walls that had frozen into ice.
Ten miles south of Xiyang, there was a small hill, on which Xia Xiao and Ah Candle fell, waiting for a talisman array to appear above their heads. Because they had just crushed the jade pendant, they needed to wait for a while. In fact, the time is not short, it is estimated to take three hours, but since they have come out, they have to wait.
With a wave of his hand, the ice and snow on the stone melted, and Xia Xiao and Ah Candle sat on it, looking at the ice and snow scenery in front of them in a daze.
"Why don't you contact your seniors?"
Ah Candle looked at Xia Xiao, who was a little embarrassed.
"I didn't learn to contact the rune array. ”
"Why are you so stupid? If you don't tell your seniors, we'll have to wait a long time. ”
Ah Candle took out a scroll from Xia Xiao's backpack, and after opening it, the numerous handprint sequences dazzled Ah Candle, and the excitement of the previous moment was only dizzy.
"Forget it, let's wait!"
Xia Xiao snorted and learned it by himself, just like his predecessors said, learn it, and you will always use it in the future. However, the handprint, Xia Xiao has not been very good at controlling this thing, after practicing for so many years, he has forgotten the two rune arrays he learned before, only the combined handprint image of tearing apart the space of the five elements is engraved in his mind, and his hands together can be more actively formed.
Watching Xia Xiao teach herself, the extremely boring Ah Candle also did it, but she didn't even understand the basic handprints. In fact, Hu Bugui's predecessors taught her, this is an introductory course in cultivation, it is impossible not to teach, and it is impossible not to teach, but Ah Candle has indeed forgotten most of it.
Xia Xiao saw that she was anxious, and taught her again, and then disrupted the "fighting and solving difficulties and hidden formations" with her in a different order, and supported it with spiritual power and penetrated with vitality.
Xia Xiao succeeded after two attempts, but Ah Candle kept making mistakes, not to mention successfully casting a talisman array that could be used for communication, and almost blew himself up. But it was a long time, and she kept trying to tie it out, and it was considered something to do, so Xia Xiao didn't stop it, just corrected her fingers over and over again.
"The fingers must not be placed incorrectly, otherwise the mudras will be wrong, and the vitality will not be formed in a strict order. ”
"It's so hard, what about those who don't have hands?"
"A strong enough talisman can use telekinesis to cast a talisman array in an instant. ”
"Well, that's amazing. ”
Ah Candle's mudra is very slow, and the fingers are always stiff to bend, but gradually flexible, practice makes perfect, and most of the mudra is successfully formed.
"Come on!"
As soon as Xia Xiao spoke, Ah Candle's fingers, which were already wrong, immediately became even more messy, but Xia Xiao deliberately laughed, not forgetting to count Ah Candle's stupidity. The latter had a cloud of snow on his head, and his little face was red, not because he was ashamed, but because he was cold. But she still snorted, and turned her head to cling to the seal. Seeing that she was so serious, Xia Xiao couldn't bear to disturb, just stretched his waist.
After a while, Xia Xiao looked at Ah Candle and secretly thought that it was good, since it was really successful.
"It's out! It's out!"
Ah Candle exclaimed, showing it to Xia Xiao, and then jumped and jumped excitedly.
"Senior, can you hear me? I'm Ah Candle. ”
Xia Xiao just wanted to say that Ah Candle was stupid, and no one could hear it, but the next moment, a voice really appeared in their ears.
"I can hear you, I'm here to pick you up. ”
It was a middle-aged man's voice, magnetic, mesmerizing, and imposing.
"Thank you, seniors. ”
Xia Xiao and Ah Candle saluted, and they were able to make Di Muli's seniors come to pick them up in person, and they really had big faces. However, Ah Candle's girl was still curious, she accidentally removed all the runes, how could she still hear the voice of her predecessors?
The talisman array above his head appeared in a tossing and turning, incorporating the bodies of Xia Xiao and Ah Candle. As they set out on their way back to the academy, the turbidity on their bodies was washed away by Dimuri. There is not much turbidity on Ah Candle's body, it only seems to be contaminated with dust, but Xia Xiao rolls a few times like entering the mortal dye vat, and his whole body is covered with a thick layer of filth.
"How do you feel about this trip for nearly half a year?"
Xia Xiao looked at Ah Candle and motioned for her to speak first. The latter shook his head for a while, not that he didn't want to say it, but his head was empty, he had nothing, and he couldn't say it if he wanted to, so he listened to Xia Xiao first, so he could pick up people's teeth. Xia Xiao just wanted to make things difficult for her, but when she saw that she couldn't say it, she said:
"The world is eternally noisy, a moment of tranquility is eternal, and in the next period of time, I will trouble my predecessors again. ”
"It's not troublesome, that's what it should do. What do you think?"
Ah Candle thought that Xia Xiao would say a lot, so it would be enough for her to pick up a few words, but she didn't expect Xia Xiao to say such a sentence, which made her scratch her head quickly. Fortunately, the senior was not in front of him, otherwise Ah Candle would be even more nervous.
"I don't think war is a good thing, and I hope that one day it will be stopped. ”
"It's a lofty ideal, but the first church has been working for thousands of years and has not achieved that goal, and I hope that you will do your part in the future to promote the idea of peace. ”
"Yes, Senpai. ”
Ah Candle was in a hurry, but she really didn't like war, and she didn't like the Great Xia people to pull out the corpse of the Southern Merchant from the snow and build it into a wall, which was very cruel. But as everyone knows, many years later, it was she who caused the largest war in the history of the Great Wilderness!
That war will be beyond the world's understanding, and the participants will not only be the lives in the wilderness, but also those that everyone admires and fears...... God!
There was still a long way to go, and when the snowflakes on Xia Xiao and Ah Candle had melted, and they waited quietly for a while, they finally returned to the academy. This is something they are very urgent, and everything in the academy is still as familiar as before, and it has not changed in the slightest, but it gives Ah Candle a feeling of wanting to cry very much. After a long time, it's finally back.
"Let's go, let's eat!"
Ah Candle took Xia Xiao's hand, ran up the mountain road, and hurriedly entered the town, everything remained the same, the feeling was warm to the bones, so that when they brought a bowl of pork rib soup, they were amazed by its umami again and again.
"It's been a long time since I've been back, so eat more today. ”
The aunt shouted, and brought out two large bowls of steaming pork rib soup, in which there was a lot of meat. The only ones who can get this kind of favor are Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, who makes them sweet and approachable!
