Spring and autumn are fleeting, and the years go by. Time has never stopped her footsteps, and it has been more than two years since Zuo Qiuxun's death. Similarly, it has been more than two years since Xu Huaigu left Qiyin.

Although Xu Huaigu is only nineteen years old at this time, he is far from being old, but after two years of walking the rivers and lakes, coupled with his rich and solid experience, his psychological maturity at this time has far surpassed that of his peers.

Xu Huaigu was wearing a black robe, with a sword tied around his waist on one side and a safe and sound card hanging on the other. His long hair was tied into a ponytail, and a pair of tan deerskin boots walked freely through the mountains and forests after the rain, and his steps were vigorous and powerful. From anyone's point of view, this person is a handsome swordsman who wanders the mountains and wilderness. It's just that unlike ordinary swordsmen, he has one more burden on his body that shouldn't be, that is, he carries a heavy cloth bag on his back.

I don't know what exactly is inside, but from a distance, the cloth bag is very piercing, so it seems that people are far less chic.

The sword on his waist is "Xiaoyu", a medium magic weapon rank, and it is the sword with the lowest rank on Xu Huaigu's body. Exposing this sword can be a little more low-key and hide his true strength, coupled with his young appearance, he looks like an ordinary swordsman in the third or fourth realm.

One of the black robes on his body was a Dharma robe, which he had bought with a colored bead at the monk's market in Qiyin. But he still has two magic robes on his body, one is a white robe left by Zuoqiu Xun, and the magic weapon rank is medium. The other is a python red cloud pattern green league robe taken from the dead Chen Jingshan, a high-grade magic weapon, but Xu Huaigu has never worn it. The reason is that this python red robe is very similar to the dress of the eunuch and martial artist in the court, Xu Huaigu was angry when he saw this robe, but it was worth more than a dozen colored beads, and it was really a tyrannical thing to lose it, and Xu Huaigu always took it with him.

At this time, he was still in the Six Realms, and compared with the cultivation that he forcibly broke through for Zuoqiu Xun two years ago, he had made very little progress. Perhaps it was the aftermath of piercing the Sword Pill, or the disturbance of the demons in his heart, Xu Huaigu felt more and more that it was not easy to cultivate in the past two years.

The feeling of being intoxicated in the past rarely appears now, and most of the time, when I want to concentrate on cultivation, I will feel the unrest in my heart, and I can't calm down. He has nothing to do about it, it's useless to be anxious, the more anxious he is, the more arrogant the demons will become, this matter can't be in a hurry, he can only see if the future creation can break the shackles in his heart.

Fortunately, although his cultivation is not allowed, his killing power is much stronger than two years ago. First, the Longquan Sword that was searched from Chen Jingshan's robe, after being devoured by Xu Huaigu's Heartlake Flying Sword and devouring the miscellaneous sword intent, had been re-promoted to an immortal soldier, and it naturally became the first natal flying sword refined by Xu Huaigu when he was promoted to the Six Realms. The second is the Jin Shuo rune, he can now use the golden silk planted in his heart a little, but he is far less flexible than Sun Xiang, and he does not dare to use it blatantly, he is still afraid of being discovered by the people of Taihua Mountain.

It's just that the sharpness and speed of the Longquan sword, although it has the level of immortal soldiers, still doesn't deserve its name when it comes to one of the two swords of the Ten Thousand Sword Shrine, the sword of the Eleventh Realm Sword Cultivation, the peerless famous sword, and so on. Although Xu Huaigu was a little confused about this, he didn't know what went wrong, so he could only blame his realm for not being high enough to give full play to Longquan's strength.

In addition to Longquan, he also has the Phoenix Feather Sword and the "Cangshui" Sword on his body, as for the White Sword and the Pipa, they are all relics of Zuoqiu Xun, and they are to be buried with her, and they are not Xu Huaigu's things. These things were all placed in the storage space of Zuoqiu's Dharma robe, and he took them all the way north.

After Zuoqiu Xun's death, he was supposed to abide by her last wish and go to Flying Fish Island immediately, but the distance from Dongfu Yao Continent to Flying Fish Continent was too far for it to be impossible to rely on Edgeworth alone, so he could only take a cross-continent ferry. Although Yamato also has a boat to Feiyuzhou, Xu Huaigu still wants to go to Fuyao Sect, and after preparing to meet Yu Qin, he will take a boat from Xicheng, not far to the west of Fuyao Sect, and go to Feiyuzhou.

The things in the cloth bag on Xu Huaigu's back were really not light, but he carried it

For two whole years, I have long been used to it, so I still walk like a fly. He walked through the woods, and after a few roundabouts, he walked onto a wide official road, and walked forward.

This official road is very lively, and there is no stream of cars and horses on the road

Absolutely, there are exquisite sedan chairs of dignitaries and nobles, and there are also caravans that transport goods and stand by the horses with several mighty escorts. All in all, this official road is a very important transportation route.

If this is placed in Dayu China, Xu Huaigu may be amazed by the prosperity of the world. But along the way, it is not uncommon for him to be in the territory of Fusang, which is located in the northernmost part of East Fuyao Continent, and the title of the largest country in East Fuyao Continent is really well deserved. Moreover, this place is close to the largest city in East Fuyao Continent - Xicheng, which is naturally more prosperous and lively than other places.

Xu Huaigu continued to walk briskly, and after a while, a small town hidden in the mountains and forests was revealed.

The town is built on the side of the mountain and the river, with a majestic mountain towering into the sky behind it and a turquoise river in front of it. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are outstanding, but that's it. Moreover, the local houses are all made of bluestone blocks produced in the mountains, which looks dignified and elegant, and gives people a good impression. The walls on the side of the house without exception have an image of a dragon and phoenix painted in thick ink, which should be a unique custom in this town.

Xu Huaigu has already checked the map, this town is called Dongping Town, as long as you walk through the high mountain behind the town, it is the first great sword sect in East Fuyao Continent - Fuyao Sect. Xu Huaigu planned to rest overnight in Dongping Town, and then continue to go to Fuyao Sect tomorrow.

As soon as he entered Dongping, he felt that this town was really different.

Perhaps because it is too close to the Fuyao Sect, the people in this town have a fairy spirit, elegant temperament, and good clothes and conversation. And life here seems to be very peaceful, Xu Huaigu walked on the small streets of Dongping for a long time, and only heard the crisp cries of the warblers in his ears, as well as the sound of pounding clothes from far and near, and suddenly slowing each other, without the sound of secular businessmen.

In such a fresh environment, his heart couldn't help but relax. After searching for a long time in the town, he finally found an inn, and thought that it would be a good thing to stay there for the night, and drink the local wine by the way.

Thinking of this, Xu Huaigu strode in. After walking in, I found that this inn is actually not big, there are only four or five tables and chairs in the lobby of the restaurant on the first floor, plus the counter where the shopkeeper is located, it seems very crowded. But he didn't care about it at this time, and only thought about staying here, so he found an empty table and chair to sit down.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the customer coming, he immediately rushed out from under the counter, ran to Xu Huaigu's table like a monkey, and asked with a smile, "Does the guest stay in the hotel, or do you want to eat some wine and food and leave?"

After Xu Huaigu sat down, the heavy cloth bag on his back still did not put down, but just sat like this, and replied: "Stay for one night, you also need wine and food, half a catty of beef, two jars of wine, the wine must be unique to you, the best."

The shopkeeper nodded and answered, and hurriedly went to the back kitchen and asked the cook to prepare.

Xu Huaigu drank a sip of cold tea on the table, looked at the several tables and chairs around him, and found that there was only one table of people besides himself.

He glanced at it with his spare eyes and saw that there were four people at the table, a scholar in a green shirt and a hosta with a gold-painted fan in his hand, a tall girl with a heroic eyebrow, an old Taoist priest who was old and had a gray beard but was wearing a Taoist robe, and a lean old man with a big scar on his face.

Xu Huaigu felt strange in his heart, no matter how you look at it, these four people have very different styles, not like a group of people, but these people just get together, and they talk and laugh, push the cup on the table and change the lamp, and the wine and tea can be drunk regardless of each other.

Xu Huaigu felt that they seemed to be discussing themselves, and pointed inadvertently.

He was displeased, he didn't like it. But they don't know each other, so rashly expose them,

Xu Huaigu felt a little embarrassed, so he calmed down and waited for them to end the topic about himself.

Soon, his food and wine were also served. Half a catty of beef and good wine, a standard Jianghu swordsman restaurant must order, as long as it is a person, Xu Huaigu is regarded as a swordsman who walks the rivers and lakes, including the shopkeeper and a group of people at the adjacent table.

Xu Huaigu drank wine and ate vegetables, and the white-faced scholar looked at him with interest and spoke

His voice was so low that he could only hear it close to his ears, and asked, "Xiuyang, why did you say that guy still carried that cloth bag when he ate?" The bag doesn't look light, but what's in there?"

It is the heroic woman who is called Xiuyang, and it is said that this woman is also very wonderful, with emei and bright teeth, apricot eyes and peach cheeks. A pair of autumn water apricots are about to leave, and a pair of handsome distant mountain eyebrows are disgusting and happy, but they are very cute.

She listened to the scholar's soft words, and said with a playful smile, "I don't have the ability to see through, how do I know what he has in his bag? Brother, if you're curious, ask him. If others want to say it, if they don't want to say it, let's not chew on their tongues behind their backs."

Dare to love this scholar and woman are actually brother and sister, it sounds like the tone between the two is quite intimate, and the relationship should be excellent.

The scholar was really a free and easy character, and immediately poured a glass of wine, toasted Xu Huaigu and said, "This benevolent brother, you and I meet is fate, I will toast you with a glass of wine first."

He raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, and showed the empty cup to Xu Huaigu before he smiled: "I see Brother Ren's dress and demeanor, it should be the swordsman who walks the rivers and lakes, right? Don't hide it, brother, I admire you swordsmen very much, and I want to go on a trip to the rivers and lakes, but I can't muster the guts."

Xu Huaigu cut a large slice of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, took another sip of wine, nodded casually, and did not speak.

The scholar continued, "Brother Ren came to the town of Dongping, I'm afraid it wasn't by chance, right? Could it be that you want to go to the Fuyao Sect to take a look?"

Xu Huaigu nodded indifferently, still eating meat and drinking wine by himself, and didn't pay much attention to the scholars over there.

In the past two years, Xu Huaigu's temperament can be said to have changed greatly, from the original chic and talkative swordsman, to become more and more thoughtful and silent. First of all, the deaths of Zhuang Yeyun and Zuo Qiuxun had too much impact on him, and then he walked the rivers and lakes alone for two years, he was used to being lonely, so let him talk to a strange man who was familiar with him like this, he really didn't want to talk about it so much.

Seeing that Xu Huaigu didn't want to speak, the green-shirted scholar just said that it was just the arrogant temper of the swordsman of the rivers and lakes, and still smiled with a spring breeze on his face: "That's a coincidence, our group is also planning to visit the Fuyao Sect, and it will be boring for Brother Ren to go alone, why don't we go together together?"

Xu Huaigu glanced at him, and saw that the heroic woman beside him looked at her brother with some teasing, as if waiting for him to make a fool of himself, so Xu Huaigu didn't plan to agree, but nodded and agreed.

The scholar in the green shirt smiled, "Thank you, Brother Ren, for giving me this face. My name is Chu Wenze, a person from Xicheng, here is my sister, Chu Xiuyang, and the other two are my entourage. I don't know what to call Brother Ren?"

Xu Huaigu said, "Yu Buhe."

What a strange name, the green-shirted scholar scratched his head, and secretly thought in his heart: "It's really incompatible, this indifferent temper doesn't quite fit in with anyone."

As soon as Chu Xiuyang heard this name, he directly covered his mouth and laughed, and after being stopped by Chu Wenze's eyes, he said again, "Brother Yu, do you want to have a drink with us?" You can get acquainted with each other."

Xu Huaigu shook his head, got up and said, "No need, I'm used to drinking alone."

He got up, took out a few taels of silver and handed them to the shopkeeper, pointed to the wine and food on the table and said, "Don't look for it, take these drinks and food to my room."

After that, Xu Huaigu turned his head and left, the shopkeeper got a tip, laughed a few times, quickly picked up the wine and food, and followed Xu Huaigu away, leaving the only table in the lobby.
