Chapter 5: The Kneeling Woman

Xu Huaigu was anxious about what happened to the Yao Sect, and as soon as his body exerted his strength, under his rapid hurry, it only took two hours to climb the white marble steps of more than 1,000 steps, and arrived under the plaque of "World Swordsmanship, Heavenly Swordsmanship".

As soon as Xu Huaigu saw that plaque, the sharp sword intent contained on it immediately attacked him overwhelmingly.

He secretly wondered in his heart, why did this sword intent come specifically at himself as if it had long legs? However, Xu Huaigu was not afraid of these sword intents, and secretly intercepted a small wisp with the Heart Lake Flying Sword, and let the rest pass by him and scatter into the heavens and the earth.

This sword intent is indeed unique to the Fuyao Sect, and it has the same root and origin as the sword intent on the "Cangshui" sword and Yu Qin's Mingxin hosta.

Xu Huaigu hid this little wisp of sword intent and prepared to enlighten him in the future. He looked away again, and saw that under the plaque was a huge bluestone square, and behind the square was a road down the mountain, with several disciples patrolling at the door, which should be the entrance of the Fuyao Sect.

Perhaps because of the sealing of the steps, today's square is sparsely populated, in addition to those disciples in Tsing Yi with swords, Xu Huaigu also saw a small black dot under the plaque, he looked closely, but a person seemed to kneel on the ground.

He looked around, but there was no other abnormality, and the disciple who cleaned the steps said that he could only see that it was only this kneeling person.

Xu Huaigu squinted at the disciple patrolling in the distance, and had a little guess in his heart. Could it be that Fuyao Sect has an unjust case outside, and this person has no way out but to go up the mountain and kneel to plead?

If this is the case, then what the Fuyao Sect has done is too unkind.

Xu Huaigu walked towards the man, and when the man heard the crisp footsteps, he quickly raised his head, and looked at the place where the footsteps came from in a little panic, just in front of Xu Huaigu's gaze.

It was a charming woman in her thirties, not a good birth, a pair of bloodshot eyes looked at Xu Huaigu in panic, her face was pale, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes. The most striking thing is her forehead, which has a large wound and is now faintly scabbed.

The woman saw that Xu Huaigu didn't have much pity in her eyes, and it wasn't Fuyaozong's dress, so she had to withdraw her eyes desolately, put her head on the ground again in disappointment, and continued to kneel.

This bleak and lonely glance, Xu Huaigu was a little intoxicated when he saw it.

Her legs were trembling slightly, and her waist was a little unable to hold it down, obviously she had been kneeling for a long time, but despite this, she was still persevering.

A disciple patrolling the square walked up to him and asked, "This fellow Daoist, why did you come to my Fuyao Sect?"

Xu Huaigu said, "Come and find a few people."

The man said, "Fellow Daoist, please report your name, and who is the person you are looking for?"

Xu Huaigu thought that there were not many people in the Fuyao Sect who knew Yu Qin, and Deng Zhiyu's name was too eye-catching, so he said generously: "My name is Yu Buhe, and I came to find Yin Zishi."

The disciple frowned, he hadn't heard of Yu Buhe's name, but of course he knew Yin Zishi's name. However, there are more people in the world who know Yin Zishi, and he is not sure whether this man wants to infiltrate the Fuyao Sect under the name of Yin Zishi, so he ordered another disciple to go to Yin Zishi to report the news.

The Fuyao Sect covers a vast area and is mountainous, so the disciple who reported the news should not be able to come back for a while. He wanted to inquire about the kneeling woman with the patrol disciple, but when the person saw that his identity was unknown, how could he dare to tell outsiders about such an ugly family matter? He simply walked far, but didn't come this way.

Xu Huaigu didn't ask, he sat directly on the ground next to the woman, took out a water bladder from his body, put it on the ground, and asked the woman, "Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink water?"

The woman knelt for most of the day, but the water and rice had not entered, and her lips were almost dry with thirst. At this time, when he saw Xu Huaigu take out the drink, he quickly pursed his lips, and after hesitating in his heart, he refused.

She originally wanted Xu Huaigu to pity her even more, but this man's heart was like an iron scale, seeing that she didn't drink, he immediately raised his head and poured it down, and drank the water in one gulp, and deliberately turned the wine jug upside down, and a few drops of water flowed down, which was really clean.

The woman's heart was not happy, but she couldn't say anything about her suffering, so she had to swallow her anger. Stimulated by this, she turned her anger into strength, her legs stopped shaking, and her waist straightened.

Xu Huaigu is not stupid, the pot of water he gave is not drinkable.

The woman knelt for a day, and no one could bear to look at it. The immortals of the Fuyao Sect were all watching, if she drank Xu Huaigu's water, it would be in vain.

Xu Huaigu exclaimed, "I still have some backbone, if you just drank my water, no matter what you ask for today, it will be yellow. Now it looks like there's some hope."

When the woman heard this, she understood in her heart, and immediately became angry, and said, "Then you can give me back to drink!"

Xu Huaigu said, "It's my business to give you a drink, and it's your business whether you drink it or not. Can you still control me?"

The woman was angry in her heart, and she didn't want to tell him about this crooked reasoning, so she snorted coldly and continued to kneel intently.

Xu Huaigu asked her, "What is the matter with you, that you want to come to the door of this sect to complain?" I have to warn you that the monks here are not vegetarians, and if you don't like it, the flying sword can take your head with a single turn, and then there won't even be anyone to collect your body."

The woman frowned, gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, I'm alone in this world, and I have no hope of living, so if I kill it, I will kill it, and I will admit it!"

Xu Huaigu stopped talking, took out another pot of wine from his body, and took two meat buns that he hadn't eaten in the morning, gnawed on them, made an expression of enjoyment while eating, and said cheaply: "What a fragrant bun, this bun was bought this morning, and it's not rancid yet, just right." When I took this bite, the soup overflowed, and I guess there must have been pork, shiitake mushrooms, ham, and cabbage in it. After two fermentations, it is steamed on a steamer for half an hour, otherwise it will never be so soft and fragrant, and the taste is delicate. To be honest, I've been walking for several years, and I've never eaten anything so delicious......

"Enough! Do you eat steamed buns or make steamed buns? Do you want to tell every step of the way?"

The woman shouted angrily. He was hungry, but he was forced to watch Xu Huaigu eat and drink, and his eyes were so sad that he was about to cry.

Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "I eat steamed buns, but you can't eat them, if you eat them, you will lose all your efforts." Come on, work harder, victory is ahead! Hahaha!"

The woman was so angry that she gritted her teeth, only to feel that there was really no good man in the world, and it was all pickled and splashed! If the Fuyao Sect fails to do so this time, he will jump off the cliff of this Fuyao Sect, and forget it!

At this time, it was almost evening, Xu Huaigu drank a little wine, and waited leisurely for Yin Zishi to come over.

Not long after, a group of people really came out of the mountain gate of the Fuyao Sect, but looking at the mighty formation, there were at least five or six people, Xu Huaigu squinted and saw that Yin Zishi was really inside, so he was relieved.

The woman also looked in the direction of the group of people, and saw only eyes

The gods were full of longing, and the fatigue of kneeling all day had disappeared mostly.

Xu Huaigu looked at the woman's expression, smiled helplessly, shook his head, and said, "I bet, what you came to Fuyao Sect to do this time has no chance of succeeding. But if you are determined, you can come to me, my name is Xu Huaigu, maybe I can help you."

The woman glanced at him obliquely and sneered, "Cut, don't be pretty, and said that she wanted to help me, and she didn't even tell me her real name. I can hear it clearly, when you were talking to that disciple, you clearly said that your name was Yu Buhe!"

Xu Huaigu pursed his lips, grabbed a handful of hair, thought about it, and swallowed back the sentence "I don't say my real name because I'm afraid of scaring him".

However, what should be said has already been said, as for what the woman should do, it is not something that Xu Huaigu can plan.

The pedestrian walked over from the Fuyao Sect, and the woman saw a man from a distance, who was so familiar, and suddenly the sadness and bitterness in her heart turned into snot and tears, and she suddenly cried out: "Jiang Linyang, you are here! I've had a hard time looking for you!"

After that, she hurriedly got up and wanted to run forward, but she knelt all day, her legs were numb, and she fell to the ground again as soon as she got up.

Xu Huaigu didn't help her, but a man in the group hurriedly ran over, pulled her up, and whispered as if he was a little reproachful, "Why are you here?"

The woman cried, "You left home suddenly, and you didn't even give me a letter, if it weren't for Uncle Li, who was striking iron at the entrance of the town, telling me that you followed a group of monks, I wouldn't know where you went!" Now, after eight years of looking for you, I've finally found you!"

The woman was so excited that she couldn't help but raise her voice a little higher, and under this cry, the rest of the people present looked at the man named Jiang Linyang.

Jiang Linyang was sweating profusely, these are all his senior brothers, this commotion, how can he hold his head up in the sect in the future?

He looked around weakly, picked up the woman, and regardless of her inconvenience, he quickly grabbed her and walked towards the mountain gate. There were people of interest all around, and no one chased them, and they gradually disappeared into the Fuyao Sect.

Xu Huaigu watched them go away, guessing in his heart that he had already scored seven points, and it would depend on how things would develop next.

While he was thinking, Yin Zishi had already walked in front of him, looked at him a few times, patted him on the shoulder and scolded with a smile, "You guy is not kind! I can see everything you did to that woman before. Good fellow, you're as dark as you were two years ago!"

Xu Huaigu smiled, ignored it, and asked in the first sentence, "How is Yu Qin?"

Yin Zishi laughed and said, "Okay! They all knew that Yu Qin was brought back by me, no one dared to bully her, and they met a lot of friends, in short, they were doing well. Why, you have to thank me, right? Two drinks must be gone!"

Xu Huaigu said slyly: "It depends on what kind of wine it is, it's too expensive, I won't invite you."

Yin Zishi shook his head bitterly and criticized the four words: "The scheming is too deep."

Immediately, he hugged Xu Huai again and said, "Let's go, this is not the place to talk, go back to the sect first, if you have any questions on the way, just ask me."

Xu Huaigu also wanted to ask what the people who came with him were doing, but when he saw that those people had changed shifts with the previous disciples, he realized that the patrol of the Fuyao Sect should be one shift during the day and one shift at night, so he didn't ask.

So Yin Zishi affectionately grabbed Xu Huaigu's shoulders with one hand, and the two walked into the mountain gate with a smile.
