Chapter 182: 10,000 Years
On the way back to the ship, Xia Ze said goodbye to the shopkeeper Wang Ping and Lu Dongxi, carried Lin Luqing on his back, and walked under the moonlit night.
There was a sound of frogs chirping all around, and it was late autumn, and even after a heavy rain, the frogs' cries were weaker, and the footsteps stepped in the puddles, as if they were in concert. Xia Ze seemed to be thinking about something, Chen Dongyou and Chen Tan followed silently, not daring to speak.
Lu Dongxi got the swordsmanship, and after returning to Shuiqiao Village to deal with some trivial matters, he had to go incognito and find a place to practice the swordsmanship. Xia Ze didn't leave him the location of his hometown, and said that if one day the old man really realized the true meaning of the last few swords, he would take a good turn on this ethereal continent, and if he met him, he could drink a drink, and if he didn't touch it, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Wang Ping, the shopkeeper of the inn, patted his chest and said that there was no need to worry about him, he would be careful in the future, in fact, Xia Ze and Lin Luqing could see from his somewhat panicked eyes that he was still a little scared.
Of course, they are all people who do their best to make a living, and it is already remarkable to occasionally give up everything to do a good deed. But the evildoers are all in the shadows, and there are many of them, so they are often those who have good thoughts in their hearts, and they cannot live in fear.
So Xia Ze sent two letters for this, one went to Tianmu Dongtian, and asked Wu Xiao to use some incense to let the surrounding sects take good care of this town; As for the other letter, it was sent to Night City to the new city god Han Shizuka, as for whether he would care, Xia Ze didn't have a bottom in his heart, but it was better than nothing, even if he Xia Ze owed him a favor to the old man.
After Lin Luqing woke up, he heard that Xia Ze had sent two letters, and after thinking for a while, he also sent a letter to Tianlan Mountain, the main purpose of this letter is to let Tianlan Mountain issue a chase and kill order, whenever my Tianlan Mountain disciple goes down the mountain in the future, and sees the person who robs the Spirit Sect doing things like chickens and dogs, and grass and people's lives, he must break his hands and feet.
The flying sword will not be too slow, and it will definitely be able to send this letter to Tianlan Mountain in less than seven days, and I am afraid that there will be an uproar on the rivers and lakes at that time, just see if it is the hard fist of the crazy Li Muyun, or the life of his Spirit Thief Sect.
Lin Luqing's eyes were dark, and he seemed a little unapproachable, but he still couldn't help but say, "Why didn't you stop me this time?"
Xia Ze shrugged his shoulders and said, "This cause and effect started because of me, and even I had the idea of killing to stop killing, so what qualifications do I have to persuade Miss Lin?"
He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Wu Xiao, the righteous god of Wuyue, may be able to add the old man Han Shizuka, and then the Tianlan Mountain behind Miss Lin to deter it, if this can't protect a Linjiang town, and can't wrestle with a Spirit Thief Sect, maybe this is not our problem, it is the problem of this world." The reason why the Soul Thief Sect and the Door Thief can't be burned out of the wildfire may be because he is like a wild grass in the human heart, and a little evil thought can grow savagely."
He suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know what to do for the time being, in short, I will walk more and see more along the way, don't worry if one day Tianlan Mountain and the Spirit Thief Sect form a mortal enemy, I, Xia Ze, may really be the most powerful sword immortal in the world, and when the time comes, no matter how many miles away, I will come to protect Tianlan Mountain."
The coldness on the girl's face gradually melted, and even when she heard Xia Ze's promise, there was a hint of moonlight softness in the smile on the corner of her eyes.
"Wu Xiao is right, Miss Lin, sometimes we must not take ourselves too seriously, when some things can't be managed, put up with him first, and wait for one day when his fists are hard and his swordsmanship is practiced, and then beat him up and cry his mother."
The boy carried the girl on his back, chattering to himself on the path in the moonlight, not noticing that the girl's pair of bright wrists had already quietly rested on his shoulders and gently wrapped around his neck.
Chen Dongyou Chen Tanjing saw this scene, suddenly stopped and squatted in place, the two little dolls glanced at each other, and distanced themselves from their own master in a funny way.
Lin Luqing put his face on Xia Ze's back, even if it was Xia Ze, he would freeze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.
Lin Luqing leaned on his back and listened for a while, then raised his head, and said with a slight frown: "You are leaving, what are you doing?"
"Oh...... Oh...... Okay!" Xia Ze couldn't help but shrink forward, as if he was a body
The lice were uncomfortable, and the angry Lin Luqing pinched his waist, making him grin in pain and jumping up and down.
"This guy is quite iron-clad, this girl is like this, I didn't expect him to be stunned and his face was not red and his heart was not beating." Lin Luqing thought in his heart, a little disappointed, but soon smiled.
That's good, it's not a bastard.
Lin Luqing turned his head slightly, and the two little guys behind him hid their figures in the shadows, their steps were not fast or slow, just a short distance, and their faces were full of playful smiles of adult beauty.
"Go slower, go slower, don't disturb the good things of Childe and Sister Lin." Chen Tanjing tugged at Chen Dongyou's sleeve, his eyes full of smiles.
Chen Dongyou rolled his eyes helplessly, he still didn't say some words, after all, when Lin Luqing started a fire, not only would the son not be able to protect him, but even Chen Tanjing, the unlucky one, would add fuel to the fire.
Lin Luqing was a little afraid to look at the girl's sincere and distressing smile, after all, just now, in that alley, she lost her mind and almost killed them all. So Lin Luqing felt a little guilty, so he turned his head silently.
I didn't want a small puddle to appear in front of Xia Ze at this time, so he didn't think much about it, so he jumped over.
Xia Ze subconsciously put his hand on the pad.
Wan Lai was silent, Xia Ze suddenly stopped, his face was flushed, like two little ghosts, one was blocked in his throat, and the other gloated and shouted at the stove, add firewood! Add fire!
Lin Luqing's face was hot, and he no longer had the intention of teasing him, so he whispered, "Let me down...... I'll be good on my own......
"Oh...... Good! Okay!" Xia Ze nodded like pounding garlic and put down the girl on his back.
As a result, Lin Luqing fled in a hurry under the moonlight.
Xia Ze slapped himself over and over again, scolding and scolding.
The remaining two imps who followed far behind, looking at each other in confusion.
When they arrived on the boat, Liu Yiyi and his party had been waiting here for a long time, and some pedestrians who got off the boat together to play in the town told Liu Yiyi what they had seen and heard in the town, and learned that the power of the Spirit Thief Sect in the town had been uprooted, and it was a sigh.
"Miss Lin, are you back so early?" Liu Yiyi pretended to say hello easily.
As a result, Lin Luqing blushed and rushed into the house without looking back, which made Liu Yiyi feel a little confused. So when Xia Ze and the two children returned to the boat, Liu Yiyi and his party took a good look at Xia Ze from top to bottom, and thought that he had angered Hongyan.
Xia Ze became more and more weak, and rushed into the house without looking back, which made the group of people on the ship more and more sure of their thoughts.
"Miss Lin, I'm ......" Xia Ze said with a very big face.
As a result, Lin Luqing raised his hand abruptly and said angrily, "Okay, don't say anything, just shut up."
Xia Ze nodded honestly, not daring to speak. Lin Luqing's slightly angry eyes turned, and the two gloating little dolls were immediately silent, and Chen Tanjing stumbled and said, "Childe, I actually feel sleepy, so I went back to sleep in the talisman first."
Chen Dongyou seconded: "Me too, Childe, Sister Lin should rest early."
Two beams of ghostly light, swishing, burrowed into the talisman. The rooms have never been so quiet.
Just when Xia Ze was scratching his cheeks and scratching his liver, Lin Luqing sighed, and his eyes became a little calm again: "Tomorrow, you will arrive at Daqi Dongjing, are you really ready?"
Xia Ze was stunned and nodded.
The girl found a futon to meditate again, and said solemnly: "In this case, according to the previous agreement, you have to go to Daqi to reason, and I will also assist from the side, and then whether you are dead or alive, I will return to Tianlan Mountain, or travel elsewhere."
Xia Ze opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to ask the question that he had a clear conscience about, because it was a little out of place, so he finally nodded.
One room, one Xia Ze, one Lin Luqing, two yin gods and yang gods, meditating cross-legged.
In a quiet place, there was a heart, for a short moment, beating violently and rapidly, like a strong man beating a drum, and finally returned to calm.
This ship, sailing in the night, seems to be only a few hundred miles away from Daqi.
Yunxi Town, Niuhoi Alley, that tea shop.
The little white face, who was once thought to have a leg with the widow Lu Ying, had just paraded in the posture of the mountain god in the cloud brocade robe, and after confirming that there was nothing missing in this cave, he turned into white clothes again, and first went to the largest silk village in the town.
At the beginning, there were four people in Yunxi Town, one was blind, He Xi, with a singing voice like a tactful yellow bird, a slender figure, and a face that was really thin and thin, which could really be regarded as a fairy, and he didn't know where to go; A widow Lu Ying, who is the white moonlight of the man in the town, has skin like clotted fat, bright eyes and bright teeth, and has a unique charm. Ayu, the maid in the tea shop, was plump and had the face of a fox, but she disappeared later.
The rest is Huang Weaving, the shopkeeper of this silk village, although he is more than thirty years old, there is no trace of time on his face, his skin can be broken, and the scale of his neck is that many wives in the town who have given birth to children have gritted their teeth angrily.
What's even more resentful is that this Huang Weaving's speech and demeanor always exudes a frivolous meaning, but it is not the blatant kind, but the kind that is separated by a layer of veil and fog, the kind in the clouds, so the benevolent see the wise and the wise see the wise. There are more men who come to the store to buy silk than women, and everyone has to tease vaguely.
The men were not only addicted to their mouths, but also full of their eyes, the flowing water of the silk village flowed into the boxes containing the money, and the husbands and women in the town hated the root of their teeth, and the gossip made up by Huang Zhi was even more fierce than that directed at Lu Ying and Wu Xiao, but afterwards they had to pretend to come here to buy cloth as if nothing had happened.
I can't find a better cloth than this silk village.
Wu Xiao put the shiny silver on the table one by one, stacked them neatly, and then blew twice, blew two breaths into the palm of his hand, lit the silver tickets with joy, turned his head and complained: "I said Huang Shopkeeper, you said that you sell cloth, why do you have to fight with those wild men, do you know that now in the mouth of the woman in the town, you Huang Weaving already has several concubines, what a water-based poplar, even I have not been spared."
Huang Zhi looked at the ugly face of this person who was scolding his mother with silver, and he was angry, and said angrily: "This mouth grows on people, can I still stop people? Besides, aren't you and Lu Ying also rumored to be full of wind and rain in the city, why don't you and Lu Ying say this?"
Wu Xiao was embarrassed for a while, even if he turned around, turned a deaf ear, and continued to count the money.
Huang Zhi hid his face and smiled, intentionally or unintentionally, he leaned closer to the man, "Who doesn't know, that group of long-tongued women who spread rumors about you and Lu Ying will let you beat you to death in the middle of the night. I'm just curious, when Childe comes back and sees you and Lu Ying together, how do you think he will feel?"
Wu Xiao rolled his eyes, rolled up his sleeves, as if he was the majesty of the righteous god of Wuyue again, and sneered, "I found that you have really been a little itchy recently......
Huang Zhi was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "My immortal master, even if I remove all the walls of this silk and satin Zhuangzi and make a bright light to prove my innocence, what should the people on the other side say or not?"
Wu Xiao unloaded that momentum, nodded, said keep up, and walked out of the house.
Huang Zhi stuck out his tongue at his back, thinking that when Xia Ze came back one day, there would be you good-looking, and after thinking about it, Xia Ze had long been dissatisfied with her deeds of killing people and goods in her early years, maybe she couldn't eat and walk around by herself, so she felt a little sad.
In the tea shop, Lu Ying, who was busy on the stove, saw Wu Xiao, his eyes were a little happy at first, but soon he said angrily: "Where are you wandering around again, do you know that I am about to die of busyness."
Wu Xiao couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't I just go to the silk village to see the flowing water?"
In the tea shop, there are more than a dozen men who do short-term work, and they are angry when they see this little white face, as long as this guy disagrees with Lu Ying and quarrels, they are willing to fan the flames and pull the shelf
。
But Wu Xiao just walked to the edge of the stove silently, picked up a firewood knife and chopped the firewood, and then put them aside and stacked them neatly.
Lu Ying regretted her appearance as a woman a little, but she didn't think that Wu Xiao chopped wood and began to blow fire again.
But no one noticed that Wu Xiao grabbed the darkness with his right hand, and then twisted a piece of letter paper at his fingertips, he unfolded it, quickly swept it around, stood up uncontrollably, looked cold, and then threw the letter paper into the fire.
Lu Ying sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, is something wrong?"
Wu Xiao shook his head, pulled her aside, and said softly, "There are some business matters to deal with, and you may have to go far away, and you can't be in the town for some days."
When Lu Ying heard that he was going to go far away, he was immediately a little uneasy, and whispered, "You are not here, what about the business of the silk village......
Wu Xiao sneered and said softly: "The business of the silk village is taken care of by Huang Weaving, there is no problem, if you really can't get along with Huang Weaving, don't go over." As for the tea shop, there will be no one to make trouble, so don't worry......
Lu Ying seemed to be a little unwilling, and asked again, "Is there something wrong with Xia Ze, how long will it take for you to come back......
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were a little shy, Lu Ying stalked him, and Wu Xiao had to admit with a smile: "That kid is doing well in Dongjing, but he met Ayu who was looking for relatives, and accidentally provoked a gentleman, got into some lawsuits, and needed money to dredge, so I have to go."
The bowl in Lu Ying's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, with a shocked expression, and then grabbed Wu Xiao's hand and said, "I'll go with you......
For a moment, Wu Xiao had to admit that he was a little happy, but when he thought of Xia Ze's aggressive gaze in the future, he suddenly lost all his courage, and said, "If you go with me, I'm afraid there will still be a lot of inconvenience along the way, and besides, I have to go around looking for relationships along the way, so you can rest assured, it will definitely be fine."
Lu Ying was stunned in place, so she had to give up in discouragement and nodded.
Wu Xiao didn't know why, he actually had a feeling of loss, and he even thought about whether to simply risk losing his head and take Lu Ying to Dongjing together.
Lu Ying said softly, "Go home early."
Wu Xiao was stunned, and then nodded with a smile, he said that he was going to the silk village to withdraw money, and went to the tea shop, and when there was no one around, he walked to the dark place and turned into a rainbow.
Yun Dian, who is the majestic Wuyue Zhengshen again, he twisted lightly and found that he deduced the heavenly opportunity, that angular face, majestic as a king, and said loudly: "You Daqi is so arrogant and unreasonable, don't blame me for being unkind and unjust. After the tide passes, what kind of stinky fish and shrimp are on the beach?"
In Night City, Han Shizuka, the new city god, looked at the letter, and was angry, tore the letter apart, and said angrily: "Okay, you Thief Spirit Sect, you unknowingly stretched out your hand to the territory of my Great Qi, I don't beat your entire ancestor hall to pieces, I won't call Han Shizuka!"
"But this kid actually plans to use a favor in exchange for me to take care of one or two, who does he think of me?" He muttered.
Outside the door, a white-clothed figure suddenly appeared, and a slim woman, carrying the sleeping He Xu on her back, walked into the City God Temple.
Han Shizuka looked at the woman carefully, looking at the moon at any time, but he smiled, like a goddess in the temple who dared not blaspheme, but soon he frowned slightly, and a pair of iron fists clenched so that they clicked.
Ayu, who followed behind, her face was a little pale, and the woman suddenly came to visit and said that she was He Xu's sister. She was originally a little suspicious, and was about to ask carefully, but was stopped by Bai Lu.
She recalled the woman's smile, and couldn't help but feel creepy, as if as long as she looked at her for a little longer, she would be killed by her punch, in front of her, people, demons, ants, it seemed that there was really no difference.
"See that I don't worship, how dare you?" He Xi said with a smile.
"Forgive me! The old man killed the enemy and defended the country during his lifetime, and served as the city god after his death, and his bones and backbone were the same as his temper, smelly and hard.
What if I were a layman, and my knees were weak, and I knelt?" Han Shizuka clenched his fists, the golden aura surrounded his body, and in an instant, his body was as hard as a rock, and he was about to fight.
The girl turned her head to look at the sleeping He Xu, shook her head and said, "It's just foolish loyalty, do you know what kind of bullshit prince of Daqi, who inserted you here to keep you away from the court, and then do that kind of usurpation of power, are you loyal to Daqi or?"
Han Shizuka's face was full of iron, but he was full of murderous intent, and he didn't see it at all: "Earlier, I got the favor of the first emperor, and I have already vowed to protect this Great Qi country and mountain society for the rest of my life, as long as those two princes don't go too far, making the people complain, the new emperor ascends the throne, becomes a king and loses the king, how should the history books be written, or how to write, as for you who don't put the Great Qi Dynasty in the courtyard of the mountain immortals, I will ......die."
He didn't even notice that despite his desperate efforts to hide his timidity, he still unconsciously said that he was going to die. Is this possible for a woman in the prime of her cardamom years?
"The god of incense and fire is also worthy of being called a god? It's just a bunch of ghost rats that eat incense." He Xi held He Xu in one hand, and pointed at Han Shizuka with one hand, and said with a smile, "Believe it or not, I punched your golden body to pieces, and then kneaded you back into mud, and put it in the wilderness, so that you can watch Da Zhou step on the atmospheric land little by little?"
Not only Han Shizuka, but even Ayu and Bai Lu behind him, were all frightened in their hearts at this moment.
Han Shizuka sighed, unloaded his fist intent, and asked, "I have no grievances with you, what do you want?"
He Xi smiled: "Don't think I don't know, although you are quiet on the surface, as long as Xia Ze is not good for Daqi, you will still make a move, right?"
Ah Yu and Bai Lu froze in place, they couldn't believe their ears, and Han Shizuka on the opposite side shook his head with a wry smile: "You're right, I really won't sit idly by, even if I know that Daqi is at a loss, but I will still take action if it endangers the descendants of the royal family."
He Xi nodded, and laughed coldly: "That's right, knowing that you are in the wrong, you still have to protect your shortcomings, but you'd better not get involved, it's not just that there are people behind them." Believe me, if you get involved, those two wasted princes of Daqi will end up a thousand times worse than if you don't get involved."
Han Shizuka's face was solemn, and he asked, "Who is the girl, why did she help Xia Ze so much, and why did she put my Great Qi Dynasty to death?"
He Xi grabbed the void with five fingers, and immediately heard the position of Han Shizuka's chin, and pieces began to crack, "You don't have to know my name, I owe him Xia Ze a favor, and it should be cleared up, as for your Daqi, it's all your own fault."
Ayu felt uncomfortable in his chest, just after He Xi appeared, this entire night city, as if the gods and the mountains were pressing down together, overwhelmed people, and they could only kneel on the ground and look up at Shenwei.
"It's been 10,000 years, and it's time for God to return."
