After hearing this, Du Jie said with a little excitement: "Senior brother, can I go back to Ningze's hometown before going to the northwest this time, I haven't been back since I was born." ”

"This ...... It's good. Chu Mu said a word, and asked Gu Wu again, Gu Wu nodded without saying anything. Chu Mu then continued: "Then do it, I will fly the pigeon to the master, explain the situation, the second child will take the third and the sixth to the northwest first, if you can solve the affairs of the Li family, it will be better, if it can't be solved, wait for us, I will take the seventh child to Ningze, the thirteenth uncle, I bother you and the fifth to take the fourth child back to Yashan to recuperate." ”

Two days later, the people of Tianjimen got up and set off, and Ye Chengcheng was magically able to move around after two days. Originally, she was going to be sent back to Yashan to recuperate, but when she heard the words of the state religion told by the eldest grandson Wufang, she insisted on going to the northwest with Chu Mu.

Chu Mu and the others all understood in their hearts that Ye Chengcheng did not want to give up the opportunity to become a saint in the national religion. This is the last time she will accompany them, and it will be no matter how high the sky is in the future. Ye Chengcheng will no longer be their fourth.

Everyone understands it in their hearts, but no one breaks it. The eldest grandson Wufang has been with Ye Qingcheng during this time, and she is the most emotional one among everyone. But she didn't say anything from beginning to end, just patiently prescribed medicine for Ye Chengcheng. Then he stayed by her side step by the way.

There is another thing about Du Jie, in the past two days, Du Jie has played a set of marksmanship in front of Zhuo Bufan, but he didn't expect Zhuo Bufan to be surprised. Du Jie actually refined his marksmanship to such an extent. It's as if the spectrum of this Kowloon Soul Chaser Gun was specially tailored for Du Jie. In just three years, Du Jie, the gun of the soul chasing gun, has learned the six styles, which can be regarded as talented.

Du Jie has been practicing almost without slackening in the past three years, and the two elders of black and white are worthy of being martial arts masters. Whether it is internal skills or moves, Du Jie has almost integrated everything he has learned. The second elder of black and white taught him at a normal pace in the first year, but he didn't expect that Du Jie's understanding and talent were basically one. This made the black and white two elders surprised and delighted. The martial arts that were originally going to be taught have increased a lot on the original basis. Even in the end, Zhen Shifang taught Du Jie the "Lightning Guidance Method".

But Du Jie himself knew in his heart that although he was a little clever and learned martial arts quickly, but his current attainments should be the benefits he got from the Heavenly Palace of Creation in the Jialan Temple, since he woke up that day and found that all the books he saw in the Heavenly Palace had been forgotten, and even the time when it happened in the Heavenly Palace became more and more blurred, and then he inadvertently asked the master if he knew about the Creation Mirror, and the master also looked at himself blankly for a long time, and finally caused him to think that he had a very strange and real dream. However, since leaving the Garan Temple, Du Jie's dantian has always had a trace of heat every night, and this feeling is very comfortable. And Du Jie also found that his internal strength was getting deeper and deeper day by day, and this increase made him smack his tongue.

There is also the fact that since the Heaven Replenishing Jade and himself have completely fused, the old immortal lord will suddenly say in his dreams from time to time. In the first year of Wanbao Mountain, the old immortal lord arrived on time almost every night, and at that time, Du Jie didn't even want to sleep. was tortured by the two elders of black and white. He didn't want to see that nervous old fairy lord again. The old fairy lord was good to him. But from the second year onwards, the number of appearances of the old immortal lord gradually became very rare, and even in the recent period, it will not appear again.

This made Du Jie, who had already adapted to that kind of life, a little unacceptable for a while.

The trip to the imperial capital of the Tianjimen people ended like this, and according to the previous agreement, Gu Wu, Wu Qi, the eldest grandson Wufang, and Kong Miaozhi immediately set off for the northwest. And Chu Mu took Du Jie and Ye Tingcheng to Ningze. Zhuo Bufan sent them ten miles away from the imperial capital, and everyone shed tears.

The hustle and bustle of the national religious election has settled, and the retreat has been announced on the day of the end of the general election. The three elders did not leave the state religion, waiting for the fire roaring to return from the country of Jialan. And in the imperial court, two pieces of news came out. The first is that the national teacher had set off for the grassland a day earlier, and the second is that the holy decree of rewarding the Heavenly Machine Gate was already on the way to Yashan.

The undercurrent of the imperial capital is now gradually calming down on the surface.

Chu Mu went down the river after leaving the imperial capital, walked the waterway for another two days, and finally came to Ningze. Ningze is located on the edge of Chaohu Lake and Wujiang River, and is an ordinary water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The people here live on lotus roots and fishing, and their lives are easy. On the way from Yashan to Ningze, the three of them were a little embarrassed on the road, Du Jie didn't talk to Ye Tingcheng along the way, one reason was that Du Jie was shy and not good at chatting with girls, and the other reason was that Ye Tingcheng didn't seem to have any desire to chat with Du Jie. Chu Mu was thinking about Li Wenyuan in the northwest all the way, and he was not a person who talked a lot. Ye Chengcheng was even happier that no one paid attention to her, so these three people seemed to come together. In fact, it is basically about doing their own things.

At this time, it was already late spring and early summer, and in order to keep a low profile, Ye Qingcheng specially covered himself, even so, just seeing those beautiful eyes, it was rare to come forward to talk along the way. As a result, they were all cleaned up by Ye Tingcheng, this is also the first time Du Jie has seen Ye Tingcheng beat people, it is really ruthless for his subordinates, and the tricks are all killed according to the place where the children and grandchildren are cut off, and Du Jie's back is in a cold sweat. finally understood why Wu Qi, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was so afraid of the old four-leaf city.

The early morning in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River carries a faint dampness, and the waterways turn back and forth. There are clouds in the poem: the sunrise is as red as fire, and the spring is as green as blue. The beauty of Jiangnan is a kind of beauty that is so big that it is bustling and small as the tree in the entrance hall that makes you feel comfortable. If the scenery of the north is a peerless sword, with an informality of heaviness, then Jiangnan is the scabbard of the famous sword, hidden in the landscape, entangled in itself, peerless elegance.

The Du family is a big family in Ningze, not only because of the merits of Marshal Du, but also because the Du family has a family heritage of hundreds of years here, and more than half of the people in this township are surnamed Du, so Ningze is also called Dujiazhuang by the locals.

When the three of them marched to Ningze, it was already three poles in the sun, looking at the houses in the distance through the thin mist, and there was a lotus picking girl singing beside her: "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian?" Fish play lotus leaf east, fish play lotus leaf west, fish play lotus leaf south, fish play lotus leaf north, fish play lotus leaf between. "The voice is light and lively, which makes people very comfortable to listen to.

Chu Mu looked at Du Jie, Du Jie nodded and walked over there, and saw that there were three or five girls squatting in the pond under the field picking lotus, and he asked politely: "May I ask a few girls, this is Ning Ze." ”

The girl who picked the lotus heard someone talking, and looked up, it was a young son. Hurriedly bowed and replied: "This is Ning Ze, this son is here to find someone?" ”

Du Jie was stunned after hearing this: "How do you know that I came to find someone." ”

The lotus girl smiled and said: "I saw that Gongzi's speech was not the voice of his native country, and he was obviously looking for Ning Ze, so I dared to guess, who Gongzi was looking for, it depends on whether the slave family knows or not." ”

Du Jie also smiled after hearing this: "I said that you must know this person, do you know where the family of Marshal Du, who has just returned to the field, is there?" ”

The lotus girl was still smiling, but when she heard Du Jie say that she was looking for Marshal Du, her face immediately changed, she looked Du Jie up and down, and said coldly: "What Marshal Du, we don't have this person here at all, please go back." After speaking, he squatted down and continued to pick lotus.

Du Jie originally thought that the trip was going well, but he didn't expect that the reaction of this lotus picker girl suddenly changed dramatically, did he say something wrong just now? I wanted to ask again, but when I saw that people didn't plan to take care of me anymore, I had to go back and walk back. After he left, the lotus picker stood up, said something to the person next to her in a panic, and then hurriedly walked to the distant village.

Du Jie went back to tell Chu Mu what had happened, and Chu Mu also felt strange, but no matter what, it was good to know that this was Ning Ze, and as for finding Marshal Du's home, he would inquire about it when he went to the township. Thinking of this, the three of them continued to walk forward, and when it was almost noon, they finally reached Ningze Township.

There is a small river about two feet wide that passes through the middle of this township, and the stone bridge is very lively. Chu Mu originally wanted to find a restaurant to eat first, and then ask the shopkeeper carefully, or find someone to take him down. But where can Du Jie wait, let alone when he arrives at his own house, how can he let the senior brother and them go out to eat. Chu Mu saw that his junior brother wanted to enter the friendship of the landlord, so he did not insist. Du Jie happily went to a nearby shop selling cooked food to ask for directions.

As a result, it didn't take long for Du Jie to come back with a strange look on his face. Chu Mu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's strange, when I first entered, the shopkeeper greeted me with a smile, and I said that I was looking for Marshal Du's mansion, and they were like a different person, and they coaxed me out unceremoniously." Du Jie replied

"Oh? I'm afraid that the shopkeeper doesn't want you to mess up other people's business, let's go ask other people. Chu Mu thought thoughtfully for a while after listening, and then comforted Du Jie

Du Jie nodded, and they continued to walk forward, but after asking seven or eight families along the street, all of them reacted the same, and when they talked about Marshal Du, they even said that there was no such person, and coaxed them out. When the three of them were at a loss, a group of people suddenly came from the side of the street, led by a slightly older middle-aged man, this group stopped after seeing Chu Mu and the three of them, a girl next to him bit her ear at the man, the middle-aged man nodded and said to them: "Down is the local land security, and the three guests don't know what to do when they come to our Ning Ze." ”
