Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 71 The Old Man and the Old Man
"Zhaozhao, let me come."
The carriage staggered on the official road, and Chu Qingxiao, who had woken up from his cultivation, poked his head out to look at the girl who was driving a horse outside the carriage.
The sun in midsummer is scorching, although Chu Zhaozhao has cultivated himself, but under the irradiation of such a vicious sun, a little sweat will inevitably appear on his forehead.
Chu Zhaozhao looked back at Chu Qingxiao when she heard this, she smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm idle and idle, your cultivation is important." ”
Chu Qingxiao said: "I have swallowed the aura for half a day, besides, Zhaozhao, don't you take some time to practice?" ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pull the reins on Chu Zhaozhao's hand.
Hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao shook his head with a wry smile: "In my current situation, it doesn't matter whether I practice or not. ”
Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the rusty sword behind Chu Zhaozhao, and then he remembered that it seemed that since he left Wuling City, he had rarely seen Chu Zhaozhao swallow aura.
He simply sat down next to Chu Zhaozhao, the space outside the carriage was small, Chu Qingxiao sat down, and the bodies of the two of them were close to their bodies.
Chu Zhaozhao's face suddenly turned red, but he surprisingly did not stop it.
"Zhaozhao, are you still minding about this rusty sword?" Chu Qingxiao asked.
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I didn't regret using the Sword Cultivation Technique to save you before, and I won't regret it now......"
"Huh? Why? Chu Qingxiao was puzzled.
Chu Zhaozhao's face became more and more crimson, and he glared at Chu Qingxiao: "How can there be so many whys!" ”
Chu Qingxiao scratched his head, but he didn't dare to provoke Chu Zhaozhao, who was inexplicably angry, so he could only pause the topic and ask instead: "Since Zhaozhao doesn't mind, why don't you want to practice anymore, and don't want to use this rusty sword again?" ”
The expression on Chu Zhaozhao's face was momentarily depressed when he heard this, and he said at that time: "In the past, I practiced in order to obtain the spirit sword in the Yaoguang Sword Pool, so that I could win a place for the clan to live and live. ”
"But now that I am a disciple of Uncle Xiao, my family is also growing in Wancheng, and I seem to have got everything I want, and I don't know what the practice is for a while......
"Besides, such a rusty sword, when it is said that it is not against the enemy, it will be broken by someone if it is not careful, and the things that have been cultivated will be wasted in one day, and when I think of this, I feel that I have no interest in cultivation......
The disadvantage of the sword cultivation technique lies in this, if everything goes well, get the spirit sword of the Yaoguang Sword Pool, the sword intent accumulated over the years will be like a fish in water overnight with the blessing of the spirit sword, most people can reach the five realms within four or five years, and the majestic sword intent is added, and the combat power that can burst out when facing the enemy is incomparable to the martial artists of the same realm.
But if you really encounter some enemies who are too strong and destroy the spirit sword, then the cultivation will fall sharply, and from then on, without the blessing of the spirit sword, it will be difficult to urge the sword intent in the body.
In the final analysis, this method of observing the sword and cultivating the intention is the method of the sword to go sideways.
Chu Qingxiao also understood Chu Zhaozhao's worries, but he didn't feel that these were Chu Zhaozhao's excuses for decadence, he looked directly into Chu Zhaozhao's eyes at that time, and immediately said: "The rusty sword can be reforged, it's not easy, but it's not too difficult. ”
"The key is ......"
"Zhaozhao, you have to cross the hurdle in your heart......"
"What is the hurdle in my heart?" Chu Zhaozhao frowned.
Chu Qingxiao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The Chu family has already gained a firm foothold in Wancheng, you don't have to worry about them anymore, I think it's time to think about yourself." ”
Hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao glanced sideways at Chu Qingxiao, and smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy, for more than ten years, I have been living to get the spirit sword in the Yaoguang Sword Pool, this time let me think for myself, I really don't know how to think of it......"
"Actually, I think you've found it." Chu Qingxiao said.
"Huh?" Chu Zhaozhao was a little puzzled.
But seeing Chu Qingxiao looking at the rusty sword behind her, thinking about what the old man surnamed Xu had said, he said in a low voice: "Why did you hold this sword in the first place, maybe it is your way in the future." ”
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned when she heard this, and she thought about it seriously.
His face suddenly turned red.
Why did she mention the rusty sword, wasn't it just to save the guy in front of her?
She didn't know if Chu Qingxiao was hinting at her anything, but her heart was beating a little faster inexplicably.
"I ...... I see! ”
"I'm going to practice, okay!"
After saying this, she threw the reins in her hand into Chu Qingxiao's hand and fled into the carriage.
……
After three days of running.
The group had already arrived at the periphery of Taixuan Mountain, but it was also evening.
Bandits are rampant in Taixuan Mountain, and if you can't keep it in the mountains at night, you will encounter trouble, so you will simply rest for the night, and wait until early tomorrow morning to rush directly to the Goshawk Village.
With this in mind, everyone lit a bonfire on the mountain road and prepared to rest for the night.
"I said, which one do you like, Nangong Yunfu or Zheng Lingyin?"
"Do you want to go to Tianhang Mountain so much for Zheng Lingyin?"
"Do you have a three-year covenant?"
"Don't bully the young man and be poor, did you tell her?"
Chu Qingxiao and Chu Zhaozhao were sitting on the side eating dry food, and from a distance, Ziyu followed behind Meng Ziliang with an excited face, and his mouth was like a cannon, constantly asking questions.
Since knowing Meng Ziliang's past, Ziyu's gossip soul seems to have been activated, and he has chased Meng Ziliang to ask if he has any free time these days.
Meng Ziliang instead became the guy who was questioned and didn't know how to respond, and the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed in an instant.
Chu Qingxiao and the others looked at Meng Ziliang, who was chased and hidden, and Meng Ziliang, who had no love, felt very funny.
And at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps not far away.
Everyone looked sideways and saw that at the edge of the mountain road, a large group of armor soldiers in black armor were walking briskly towards this place.
Everyone was only curious, looking at the group of armor soldiers.
The team of about 1,000 people is not much, but it is well-equipped, and it is full of a murderous atmosphere, and it can be seen at a glance that it is an elite division.
"This place, how can there be an army dispatch?" Meng Jin asked a little strangely.
She was born in Jiangmen, and has always been sensitive to the deployment of the army, this place is located at the junction of the two continents in the twilight, and the southern part of the twilight state borders the black abyss, where the remnants of the candle yin are located, except for the riots twelve years ago, so many years have always been peaceful, and the southeast direction is bordering the vassal country Wolf Di, but the wolf Di has always obeyed the words of the royal court, and there has been no chaos in the past fifty years, so she can't help but have some doubts.
At this time, the group of armor soldiers had already approached the place where everyone was.
Among the several armor soldiers at the head, there was a young man who looked at Chu Qingxiao and the others, his eyes suddenly lit up, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards everyone.
"Miss Meng!" The man said this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Meng Jin also looked at the other party, a little surprised, she got up and said, "Brother Nangong!" ”
Originally, he was still a little nervous on the side, secretly wondering if Chu Qingxiao, who had left behind after killing Gu Yuanhuai and Xia Jingru yesterday, was relieved to see that the two seemed to know each other.
On the contrary, Meng Ziliang, who was being chased by Ziyu on the side, saw this person, and immediately covered his face, and was about to hide to the side when he was busy.
"Brother-in-law!" It's just that Meng Ziliang's feet have just stepped away, and the general saw the other party at a glance, walked forward quickly, put a hand on Meng Ziliang's shoulder, and said very enthusiastically.
"Where have you been happy these days? A few days ago, Yunfu told me that she had written seven or eight letters to you, why didn't you reply to any of them? The general asked with a smile, but the hand that fell on Meng Ziliang's shoulder was faintly powerful.
Meng Ziliang's face turned pale suddenly, and he cried and said, "I'll go back in a few days, and I'll go back ......in a few days."
"In a few days?" The general's eyes narrowed, and his face showed distress: "Isn't that still going to make my family Yunfu wait for a long time......
"Now...... I'm going to write it now! Meng Ziliang was excited and hurriedly spoke.
"It's still my brother-in-law who is understanding and knows not to make Yunfu sad, and when you get married, it must be a pair of loving fathers." He said with great satisfaction. After that, he looked at the armor who stretched out his hand and said, "Come and wait for my brother-in-law and write the letter!" ”
"By the way, it should be long, and it should be sincere, I don't think it's a big problem, right?" He said and looked at Meng Ziliang with a smile.
Meng Ziliang dared to say half a word again, with a bitter face, he nodded again and again.
Xuan was driven by a few armor soldiers, came to the stone pier on the side, and squatted there with a bitter face to write hard.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
But the general turned his head to look at everyone, and this time his face showed a hearty smile in the true sense: "Let you laugh, my future brother-in-law is careless, and often provokes my sister to be secretly sad, and as an elder brother, I have to help her beat and beat." ”
"He, even if he is born in the midst of blessings and does not know blessings, he has to be like this." Meng Jin on the side said angrily, it can be seen that she is happy to see such a scene.
"By the way, Miss Meng, ...... you and these friends of yours?" The general asked again.
Meng Jin was also clever, and hurriedly introduced Chu Qingxiao and others, and said that they were going to take the corpse of an old man to Duzhou, but they did not mention the matter of the goshawk.
When the general heard this, he didn't doubt Meng Jin's words, he arched his hand towards everyone and said, "It turns out that you are all high-ranking disciples of Tianhang Mountain, and you are really disrespectful. In Xia Nangong Yue, under the Cangzhou Liejia Army, the Chishui Battalion was commanded. Just when I saw that there was an old man here, my heart was happy, so I unconsciously stepped forward to recognize each other, and my words and deeds were reckless to disturb you, and I asked you to forgive your sins. ”
The crowd didn't feel any displeasure, and waved their hands at this time, and their words were fine.
"By the way, what is Brother Nangong doing here with soldiers and horses?" Meng Jin asked again at this time.
That Nangong Yue was about to respond when he heard this, but at this time, another person in the army behind him walked quickly.
The man looked to be in his fifties, his body was a little thin, and the armor on his body was also a little ill-fitting, and he didn't seem to be a very old general in the army.
The other party is a fresh face to everyone.
But Chu Qingxiao's face changed suddenly when he saw the other party's appearance.
It's not because he recognized who the other party was, but when the other party came over, in the spirit mansion in his body, the divine pillar that housed Sanniang suddenly began to tremble......
"General Nangong, it's not too early, we have to rush to the outside of Taixuan Mountain to meet General Mu before the end of the day......," the man said, his attitude was quite polite, but his tone was somewhat anxious.
"General Xu is right, I met my old friend here, and I almost forgot something important for a while." Nangong Yue said apologetically, and then looked at Meng Jin and said: "The imperial court has recently prepared to exterminate the bandits in Taixuan Mountain, if Miss Meng wants to travel through Taixuan Mountain, it is best to leave in the next few days, don't stay in the mountains, if the time is not so urgent, you can wait a few days, and when we exterminate the bandits, I will personally send you to Duzhou." ”
This is a very surprising news, and it is also very important for Goshawk Village.
But at this moment, Chu Qingxiao didn't have the heart to think about this, he just stared at the man beside Nangong Yue with wide eyes.
In the Spirit Mansion, on the bronze pillar, the sacred pillar that housed Sanniang trembled constantly.
A murmur with crying and anger echoed in Chu Qingxiao's mind.
"It's him!"
"It's him!"
"Xu Anmin!"
