After "sleeping" by the lake all night, in the process of chestnut pranayama, I feel that I can see something with my eyes closed, which is not very clear, just like the poisonous mushrooms I accidentally ate when I was a child, and I saw all kinds of gorgeous scenes in the sky in a daze.

There are very few shadows slowly rising from the ground, some floating around, most of them disappearing into the ground, looking into the sky, a glow is fascinating, in the middle is a muddy mist, below is pitch black, occasionally you can see some golden fire slowly moving.

Chestnut frowned, a little curious, and then broke away from his body, chasing those shadows aimlessly, I don't know how long he ran, only to see that not far away, countless empty lights rose, and many children as big as him waved at him, asking him where he wanted to go?

Chestnut hesitated, saying that he didn't know, so he could go where it was fun, right?

Those children who couldn't see their faces clearly suddenly grinned and laughed at the chestnuts, little fools, they don't even know where to go, who gave you the guts, and they don't hand it over honestly.

Chestnut wondered, what did you hand over? Then he woke up and found Yoyo leaning against him and napping. Chestnut couldn't help but touch his forehead, feeling like a big bag, swollen and itchy.

Yesterday into another space, or the demon world of Bai Lin, the chestnuts seemed to be squeezed out, not far and not close to watching Bai Lin fight, those six strange people, full of rotten black gas, together I don't know what spell was used, formed a red formation, trapped Bai Lin for a while, the result is still not able to withstand Bai Lin's original form after the demon power, just swept over, all of them were wiped out.

Before Bai Lin left his body, Chestnut seemed to have learned this trick naturally, concentrating his demonic power in one place, whether it was his arms or legs, quickly compressing and accumulating his strength, and then decisively bursting out, forming a one-hit killing power, not giving the enemy any chance to relay.

Thinking of this, the chestnut gently put it down, then jumped up, thought about it for a while, and suddenly punched the lake in front of him, and with a bang, the lake surface was like an exploding pot, and the crackling sound continued. Then the chestnut scratched his head, still too little strength, and not fast enough, and punched again, this time the lake seemed to be pushed out, exposing the riverbed, and stretched open a semicircle under invisible pressure, and then with a bang, the lake slapped back to the shore.

Chestnut smiled, this time it was right, and then tried it with his legs, and the effect was good. Awakened by the voice just now, he sat there leisurely, watching the chestnut practice in a good way, his eyes first lit up, and then dimmed. I didn't dare to think about anything, but after changing my mind, I waved at the chestnut and said that my sister has something to discuss with you.

Baili Gong sat by the boulder and slept all night, startled by the movement of the chestnuts, and immediately woke up, and then pretended to continue to study the way out, but his ears were pricked up to listen over there.

"Chestnut, what's your father's name?"

"Think about it, daddy? Li'er and his father? That's what my mother called. ”

"Haha, little fool, I'm asking, your father's name, for example, what do the people in the village call him?"

"Uh...... It seems to be called, Lao Zhuo? Zhuo Lao Er? Why are you asking this, sister? ”

"It's nothing, you just listen to me. Then your father, did he give you a big name? ”

"It seems that there is, I can't remember, usually my father and mother call me Li'er, saying that when I go to the village school, I will be asked to use another name."

Yoyo thought for a while, "Then sister will give you a name, okay?" ”

"Okay, okay, what's my name?"

"Zhuo-Chen-Xi! How's it going? ”

"Sister, I haven't read either, I don't understand much, but it's really good, hehe."

"Na, my sister wrote it to you, remember it."

"Uh-huh."

Yoyo used the branches, stroke by stroke on the sand, wrote a big Zhuo Chenxi, and did not forget to explain to the chestnut, my sister hopes that you will always be like the stars in the sky and the earth, exuding a scorching light, never know what sorrow is, and live a happy life.

"Okay, this name is good, taken from 'Chen Xi Huixi, Sun and Moon Chaoxi', the girl is really talented." Baili Gong eavesdropped on this, and couldn't help but praise it. Yoyo rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Youyou thought, when you will go down the mountain, it is time to let the chestnut know braille and read some books, the truth in the book, without the test of the world, is just waste paper, only understand the world, and do not read by heart, but also a fool who does not know good or bad.

"You, what a man, come here." Baili Gong hurriedly ran over, "Say, what are you doing?" ”

"Is this ......?"

"Forget it, I don't need you to explain, I'm not a fool, judging by the ruffians and the guys, and the reactions of the people on the street, I can probably guess what you're doing. Now, my husband may have to stay in Huanxin Town for a while recently, you, find him a private school gentleman, and arrange good food, drink and accommodation, but is it inconvenient? ”

"No problem, absolutely no problem." The originally elegant middle-aged man seems to have turned into a tame little sheep at this time, as long as these two ancestors don't smash the town, they can arrange anything.

"Also, there are some things I can't remember, do you remember?"

"Huh? We were just stuck here yesterday, what happened? I don't remember either, what a coincidence. ”

"You're smart. Chestnut, break that stone for my sister, and we'll go back and eat meat. ”

Back in the town, Baili Gong led them to a riverside Sanjin courtyard, which was originally a private residence under his name, and occasionally came here to discuss things, just "sent" to two distinguished guests to stay. Originally, there were some maids, but only one housekeeper was left behind, who was responsible for contacting Baili Gong with something, and the others were all sent out by Youyou.

The next day, Baili Gong was still very diligent, and he brought an old gentleman to "Zhuofu" early in the morning and began to teach chestnuts carefully. Chestnut just looks, the mental age is very young, in fact, he learns things very quickly, almost unforgettable, the old gentleman is also very satisfied, if he knows the other two "teachers" of chestnut, I don't know how he will feel.

On weekdays, Youyou rarely bothers Baili Gong, and he doesn't care what he is doing or what he is busy with, only occasionally, he will send someone over to bring some wine and food, or good clothes, and then really let him order a plaque of "Zhuo Mansion" and hang it on the door. That day, I happily hugged the chestnuts, jumped and screamed, chestnuts, we have a home, this is our home! Chestnut looked at Youyou, smiled silly and said, happy, in the words of Mr., sister, you are now "getting carried away", and then begging for a chase from Youyou.

Time is very fast, and it is the first month in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Yoyo took chestnuts, hung peach charms everywhere in the yard, set up lanterns, and asked Baili Gong to make a lot of firecrackers in the yard. In the afternoon, you teach chestnuts to chop stuffing, mix noodles, roll skin, and wrap water dumplings. Lift the lid of the pot, fill the plate, one by one crystal clear, chestnuts are still the first time to eat this kind of food, I can't help but learn from Mr. to speak, praised, sister, it is really beautiful and delicious, it makes the flowers tremble, it is wrong to say wrong, the little fool, it is salivating, the index finger is moving, the beautiful food is to describe the beauty, the little fool. Actually, it was Yoyo who didn't pay attention, and the chestnuts had already begun to grow.

At night, the lights on both sides of the dry river are colorful, in the sky, there are constantly empty lights rising, as well as all kinds of firecrackers and fireworks, lotus lanterns down the river, everyone prays for blessings for a smooth and safe year. Yoyo took the chestnuts and put two of them, and then asked the chestnuts to close their eyes quickly and make a wish with her.

When I returned home, Chestnut always felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't say why, and the hairs on my body stood up unconsciously. Chestnut told Yoyo about his inexplicable worries, Yoyo said it's okay, there is a sister here, let's just keep the New Year together, and then press the chestnut on the stool, lean on his shoulder, Yoyo sang the ballad: "Descend to the blessings, receive the heavens; The people of Qunli will not increase; Like the moon is constant, like the sun rising; The hanging of the gods is all ......"

Suddenly, the courtyard door was knocked open, and the housekeeper rushed in covered in blood, shouting: "It's a big deal, the master is ......, you ...... quickly" Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground.

Liang Zongli's grandfather, father and mother are about to break the door, no matter how they persuade her, Liang Zongli just won't let go, she must take her four children, and coercion and temptation will not work. The family had no choice but to find Zhu Yu, and Zhu Yu only said two words, what are you doing with me about your family? If you join the army, I can consider it.

During the recuperation period, Liang Zongli didn't know whether it was out of selfishness, or if she was really thinking about the Butterfly Army, and suggested to Zhu Yu, we don't have a baggage camp, but can we bring some cooks and craftsmen? Zhu Yu didn't think about it, so he agreed, but let Liang Zongli solve it herself.

So two days later, the county guard, who received Liang Zongli's waiting letter, sent a team of "idle people" to be responsible for the daily logistics of the Butterfly Army.

Wei Yi didn't forget to squeeze Liang Zongli, big brother, you should go to the restaurant to fight, and you brought so many famous chefs in Andong City, even Master An of my father's restaurant was "charged" over, what, does General Liang want to open a restaurant to grab business with my family? Liang Zongli smiled and explained, the march is already hard, we don't eat and drink well, and we serve the Five Organs Temple well, how can we be worthy of the things on our necks. Unexpectedly, most people raised their hands in favor and praised Liang Zongli for having ideas, they were already tired of eating marching food, and their cheeks hurt from dry gnawing.

At night, the four children and Liang Zongli were crowded into the same bed, and during the day, the children would help Master An wash vegetables and feed the horses, serve food and water.

The two boys, Ajie and Ajiang often finished their work, so they secretly hid on the side of the martial arts arena and watched their brothers and sisters train, and the two girls, Ah Le and Ah Mei, who were younger, were often "driven away" by Master An and played with the other children in the village.

The other eleven people, looking at these four sensible children, soon became familiar with the little ones, because of them, there was more laughter in daily training, especially Jun and Wei Yi, who would let them ride on their backs when they had nothing to do, play the game of riding and fighting, and often heard giggles on the martial arts field.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the Butterfly Army set out again.

Rushing all the way to Pingyuan City, Liang Zongli and several people found that they felt a dead silence inexplicably. The army remained outside the city, and a demon of twelve people took the lead and slowly walked their horses into the city.

Seeing such a miserable scene for the first time, even Situ Jing couldn't help but vomit.

The entire Pingyuan City was burned into "charcoal", and it was all black and pressed. Whether it is a living person or a dead thing, it is like being fixed at a certain moment, on the street, in the house, everyone's face shows a crazy expression, as if they felt unprecedented happiness before death, and even the live prey sold by the vendors showed an indescribable madness and hideousness.

Zhu Yu found that from the moment she entered the city, she had lost contact with Qiu and Sang.

Not good! Zhu Yu immediately shouted: "Retreat!" "But it was too late.

The butterfly army guarding outside the city suddenly found that the entire Pingyuan City was shrouded in black fog, and a few people were just about to step forward to approach, Cong Qihu kept an eye on it, and asked people to find a rooster and throw it in, but as soon as they touched the black fog, they were "burned" into black charcoal.

The rest of the guards came to Cong Tinghu's side and asked what to do, Cong Weihu looked at the black Pingyuan City, and only said, stand by in place.

Zhu Yu had to open his demon realm for the first time, covering everyone to slowly withdraw to the city gate. You can hear the sound of the house collapsing all around, as if something is lurking around, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Just when the city gate could already be vaguely seen, before and after the vermilion fish, there was a sudden bang, and a huge beast like a baboon appeared in front of it, more than five zhang high, two red eyes, red horns on the head, the whole body was rotten, and the ribs and leg bones were exposed in a few places, and the rear was a monster that seemed to be a dragon crab, more than one zhang high and five zhang long, and two red big claws were constantly clicking and provoking.

The mounts under him, in the face of this terrifying monster, couldn't help but raise their front hooves and neigh. Twelve people, sweat dripping from their foreheads to their cuirasheads.

Wei Yi trembled his teeth and asked, "Lord Zhuyu, are we going to explain here today?" ”

After Liang Zongli was only frightened for a short time, he rode his horse and stood on the edge of the demon world, pointed at the big crab, and laughed, "Master added dinner today, and it braised you!" ”

"Wait a minute, put this on." Zhu Yu seemed to have expected this day for a long time, and gave everyone a red and blue feather pendant, "As long as you wear this, you don't have to be afraid of those black fogs." ”

"Don't be intimidated by the appearance of these beasts, remember when you used donkeys to fight the city defense battalion? It's about the same as back then, as long as you are more flexible and cooperate well, these two are just tooth sacrifices. I won't make a move this time, it's up to you. ”

The twelve people didn't talk nonsense, and quickly integrated into two teams, one team of Situ Jing rushed towards the black baboon, and the other team of Liang Zongli rushed towards the dragon crab, and soon there was a sound that seemed to be metal impacting.

Situ Jing and the others did not rush to meet the battle, but tried a few times first, and found that this monster, in addition to its strength, even turned around with great effort, as long as it was not hit or stepped on by it, it was completely a fool.

The six people used the wheel formation, the bow and arrow were consumed at several joints, and when the monster looked at one person, the other five people quickly stepped forward and continued to shine on their knees and feet to mend the halberd, and at this time, the advantages of the double moon halberd came into play. In this way, the black baboon soon fell down, lying on the ground screaming and struggling, and the six of them went up together, stabbing them continuously at the eyes, neck, back of the heart, liver and kidneys, etc.

"Just pick out what's in your head." Zhu Yu looked at this side and did not forget to remind. Then she turned around and looked at Liang Zongli again.

Compared to what Situ Jing and they faced, this monster was simply dressed in an indestructible armor, and it was extremely flexible, and it was basically delusional to get close.

But, what is a butterfly knife? It's an artifact. Liang Zongli six people, tightly tightened the reins, as long as they dodged the attack of the monster's big claws and jaws, they cut it down with a backhand, and a few times, the monster also stabbed the horse's belly, but the armored war horse was not injured at all, just stumbled, stabilized and continued to come forward to fight.

Soon, the dragon crab became an oval, all its feet were neatly chopped off, and it writhed its huge body on the ground in anger.

Liang Zongli jumped on the back of the crab, stabilized his body, stabbed left and right, opened a cover for it, and then dug out a piece of black charcoal, threw it on the ground, jumped down and crushed it fiercely, and the monster disappeared.

The butterfly army outside the city, many of them participated in the war in the north of the city, and the veterans of the city defense battalion were not worried at all, and even chatted with their comrades in a low voice, and the recruits brought by Jiang Quanliang had solemn faces, worried that "the southern expedition will die before they succeed", and even wrote a suicide note after thinking about it for a while.

The black fog that enveloped Pingyuan City began to slowly dissipate, and the sound of heavy horses' hooves came from the city gate. Everyone raised their swords one after another, looked nervously at the city gate, and prepared to see death as if they were home.

"Wow, that's scared to death!" Wei Yi was the first to rush out, scaring the Butterfly Army with his teeth and claws.

There were bursts of cheers from the whole army, but they didn't notice that Zhu Yu's mount ran back alone from behind, but the man was not on horseback.
