This night, Zuo Qiuxun came back in the middle of the night, saying that he was going to hunt prey, but he didn't bring anything back, just threw a few dry firewood into the fire, and ignored the two people sitting together, and played a pipa song by himself.

The pitch of the pipa is clear and high, the timbre is clear, the melody is very slow, sometimes intermittent and inaudible, and with this barren lonely fire, it is extremely desolate.

Xu Huaigu only felt that the style of this song was very lofty, poignant and cold, quiet and gloomy, which made people's hearts unconsciously give birth to a lot of lingering sorrow.

He saw that Yu Qin's body was shaking uncontrollably, and he reached out to touch her cheek, which was even more cold.

He hurriedly asked, "Zuo Qiu Xun, what's wrong with her?" ”

Zuo Qiu Xun stopped playing with pity, put down the pipa, and said, "It's okay, it'll be fine in a while." ”

She sighed softly again, leaned her head against the back of the white horse, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.

A song breaks the liver and sausage, and those who are interested in it listen to it like falling into an ice cellar, and those who do not intend to listen to it will be fine.

Xu Huaigu felt sorry for Yu Qin, so he held her palm tightly and gave her a little warmth, but he didn't know that that warmth was even more chilling to Yu Qin.

The road was hard, and he didn't dare to stay up too late, so he also fell asleep after Yu Qin gradually warmed up.

The next morning, the old day was new. Perhaps because he was overworked a few days ago, Xu Huaigu slept soundly.

In his deep sleep, Xu Huaigu only felt that something was kicking him, only frowned, rolled over, and continued to sleep sideways. And then something slippery stuck to his cheek, and it moved. He was so frightened that he woke up instantly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw only the face of a horse.

Seeing that he had woken up Xu Huaigu, Bai Ma hissed happily, and then walked to Huang Shan, who was sleeping, ready to wake him up.

Not far away, Zuo Qiu Xun and Yu Qin were sitting together, studying a map. I thought that I would be ridiculed by the two girls for being bullied by the white horse in the morning, but I only received Zuo Qiuxun's indifferent eyes, the kind that rejected people thousands of miles away. Yu Qin didn't even look up at him, which made him a little depressed.

Xu Huaigu had no choice but to sit cheekily next to the two of them and look at the map of Dongfu Yaozhou.

Zuoqiu Xun's map of Dongfu Yaozhou is no better than the one Xu Huaigu bought before, this is a real map of the immortal family, which clearly marks the location of various countries and major cities, as well as the mountains where each sect is located, and it is also clear at a glance on the map. Among them, there is a purple glow marked on the map, which is very conspicuous, located on the boundary mountain range between the Yamato country and the tassel country, and that is the Zixia Sect.

Xu Huaigu clearly remembered what he said at the beginning, if one day, he would definitely set foot in the Zixia Sect to have a good reason with Murong Di and the sect master Cui Ku, but he didn't know how far that day would be. After starting to practice, Xu Huaigu finally understood how much the gap between him and the first major sect was, but this could not dampen his determination, it would only make him more enterprising.

It is said that the topography of Dongfuyao Island is very peculiar, narrow from east to west, but narrow from north to south, looking like a wooden stick. The direction of the mountains on the continent is also very unique, not along the coastline in general, but in the east-west direction, cutting the East Fuyao Continent into several sections. Several large countries in East Fuyao have divided their territories roughly along mountain ranges. From south to north, there are Dayu country, Yamato country, tassel country, and Fuso country. In addition to these four large countries, there are countless small countries, but most of them are subordinate to the big ones.

Among the four major powers, Fusang is the most powerful. It is located at the northernmost tip of East Fuyao Chau, with a long coastline and easy trading with other continents. There is also Qi water entering the sea in its territory, and the city that enters the sea is called Xicheng. Strategically located, it is a commercial hub of the continent and the sea. As a result, Xicheng has become the largest port city in East Fuyaozhou, with endless cross-continental ferries.

The major sects of Dongfuyao Continent are also clearly marked on the map. There are three first-class sects, namely Fuyao Sect, Zixia Sect, and Xingyue Sect. There are eleven second-rate sects, the stronger ones are Qingfeng Mountain, Shuijing Sect, etc., and the third-rate sects are countless, and it is estimated that there are dozens of them in most of the country, and a small map is not indicated.

The great sects and the empire were largely in a state of non-interference. The strength of the major sects is strong, and they are naturally not afraid of the empire, and the war between countries cannot spread to the mountains. The struggle between the big sects will also be resolved by the means of the immortal family, and it will not affect the common people and the imperial court, while the small sects are different. Due to its low strength, it is often used as a victim of national wars. They also had to be attached to the state for peace, and often the demise of the state would also represent the change of a large number of small sects.

So the great sects do not disturb the world, ask at ease, and become stronger and stronger; However, small sects have to be tied to the country in order to survive, and they are destined to be unable to break away from the world, and their strength is not strong after all.

The strong become stronger, and the weak are always weak, this is the overall pattern of the current sect in Dongfuyaozhou.

The great sects and the imperial court are like two independent systems, living together on the same land without interfering with each other.

Monks are also cultivated within the country to enhance the national strength, but most of them are martial artists who grew up in battlefield battles, which is different from the monks mentioned by the mountain immortal family and Yamazano Shu.

Martial artists can't practice spells, they rely entirely on their own bodies, and cultivate their bodies to the point of invulnerability, so as to reach the level of a one-man enemy army. Monks, on the other hand, are comparatively more difficult to practice, and they must have an introductory method to practice.

The Dharma determines the direction of practice and the highest attainment. The Dharma in the major sects will only be taught to the disciples of the sect, and there will be special means to keep it secret, so that the practitioner cannot pass it on. The various Dharma sects of the major sects are of high rank, so the monks they have cultivated are naturally very powerful and orderly.

Most of the methods and confusion of the wild cultivators were obtained by killing people, or they were accidentally obtained by some lost chance, and some were even stolen from the tomb. Some people will also buy and sell the Dharma, thus causing confusion in the field of cultivation and its confusion.

The method that Huang Shan practiced was taught to him by his master, and he could reach the Six Realms at the highest, which was already a higher method. There are many methods that have been capped at the third or fourth realm, and many people are still flocking to them.

And the set of methods that Xu Huaigu practiced on his body was the secret of the Fuyao Sect, which could be cultivated up to the eleventh realm, and as for the ascension to the tribulation realm, it depended on Xu Huaigu's own talent.

Huang Shan was also woken up by the white horse at this time, wiped his face, and asked while yawning: "Zuoqiu Sword Immortal, then where should we go now?" ”

Zuo Qiu Xun looked at the map and said, "Continue to the north, try to leave the Great Yu Country first." The group of officials in the court should have come to their senses by now, and they must be hunting us everywhere, and there will definitely be checkpoints on the northern border. Among the mountains to the north, the Hangshun Mountain is the most steep and steep, and we will cross from there, and the troops should be smaller. ”

Hangxun Mountain is the most precipitous mountain at the junction of Dayu and Yamato, the mountain is high and covered with snow all year round, the wild beasts are rampant on the slopes at the foot of the mountain, there are very few people, even if someone goes to Hangxun Mountain is to find the mysterious herbs there.

Going to this kind of mountain forest to find herbs is a gamble, and if you are not careful, you will break in it, and there will be no bones. But the return is also extremely high, if you can find the immortal herbs, it is enough for ordinary people to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, which is also the reason why some people still risk their lives to go to Hangxun Mountain.

However, these dangers are not to worry about for their group, at least there is Zuoqiu Xun, a Five Realms Sword Cultivator. Anyway, it's right to follow Zuoqiu Xun, and she is currently the backbone of the team.

Continuing on the road, Huang Shan pitifully begged Zuoqiu to borrow him to ride a horse, and said that he had risked his life to save Yu Qin, and he really couldn't walk at this time.

I don't even have to think about the result, of course, I was decisively rejected. Zuoqiu Xun is not stupid, you can't walk, why do you still have the heart to ask her to borrow a horse? Knowing that you can't do it, isn't it idle and nothing? So it must be strong to walk.

Huang Shan was speechless by Zuo Qiuxun's crooked reasoning.

She also solemnly declared that the horse could only let her sit with Yu Qin, and none of the stinky men could go up.

So she arranged Yu Qin on the horse and walked under it by herself, leisurely.

Xu Huaigu had a headache and felt that Zuo Qiu Xun was going to spoil Yu Qin.

Yu Qin changed into her shabby clothes today, wearing a pure white shirt and white trousers inside, and a pale green robe on the outside. Of course, the clothes are all Zuo Qiu Xun's, Zuo Qiu Xun is a head taller than her, and the robe is almost dragging to the ground on her.

Zuo Qiu Xun has always been very concerned about wearing clothes, and immediately there was a big package, which was full of her clothes, and she didn't wear the same clothes every day. However, if someone is a Five Realms Sword Cultivator, they will definitely not lack money to buy clothes.

However, Yu Qin is actually quite beautiful when she dresses up so seriously. The small and cute melon seed face, the skin is much fairer than when he first came to Xingqing, and the long hair is draped behind his shoulders like a waterfall. The eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are full of autumn water, the pretty nose is slightly straight, and the lips are a little red. Sitting on a white horse shows a noble temperament that has never been seen before, and it is completely different from the peasant girl before.

Zuo Qiu Xun immediately discovered Xu Huaigu's impropriety, and quipped: "The surname Xu, what are you staring at my sister?" Today, my sister is going to take your soul away if she dresses up well? ”

Xu Huaigu was embarrassed.

"So, yesterday's sister's sentence 'Do you like me', do you have an answer today?"

Xu Huaigu was shocked: "How do you know?" ”

Zuo Qiu Xun laughed: "Hahaha, you go and ask Huang Shan, see if he knows?" ”

Huang Shan put away his smile and asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about, why can't I understand?" ”

Yu Qin and Xu Huaigu's faces turned red, and they didn't know what to say.

Are you cultivating so hard just to eavesdrop on other people's speeches?

That's it, I'll talk to them later.

Between the mountains and forests, the four of them walked forward.

An ordinary person riding a white horse, a kind-hearted Ye Xiu, a female swordsman with a pipa on her back, and Xu Huaigu with a sword tied around her waist.
