The night was dark, and there were autumn insects chirping in the woods. The moonlight was as clear as water, and the silver light was sprinkled, and the ground seemed to be wearing a white gauze robe, hazy and beautiful.

At the invitation of Xu Songtu and Fang He, Xu Huaigu and Gu March embarked on the road to Suchang together.

Xu Huaigu carefully probed Xu Songtu, and with the power of that sword qi at that time, he estimated that he was probably the strength of the Four Realms.

With his early twenties, as well as the cultivation of these four realms, in a small country like the Shocking Feather Country, he can almost be regarded as a genius that is rare in the whole country.

After all, not everyone is born with a sword fetus, even if it is Zuoqiu Xun, when he was in his early twenties, he was only in the fifth realm, and Xu Songtu was only one realm below her, which was already very good.

However, Xu Huaigu is twenty years old this year, but he is a cultivator at the peak of the Six Realms, which is another story. It was rare for a few people in the entire Central Domain to cultivate so quickly, let alone Xu Songtu.

It's no wonder that he dared to shoot his sword directly at Gu Yueyue at that time, thinking that he was too arrogant, and he didn't take Gu Yueyue in the wilderness in his eyes at all.

However, the sword that Xu Huaigu offset with him only used the same strength as him, so Xu Songtu should not know Xu Huaigu's true realm now.

In fact, it is true, Xu Songtu is still secretly speculating about Xu Huaigu's realm in his heart. He thought that since Xu Huaigu's sword qi could be equal to his own, it must be the Four Realms or even above.

But looking at Xu Huaigu's young appearance, Xu Songtu only dared to think of him in the four realms at most, and he didn't even dare to think about the five realms.

It's just that the Gu girl who calls him Master one by one looks older than Xu Huaigu, could it be that Xu Huaigu is the monk who knows the art of residing in the face?

It looks like he's only in his twenties, but in fact, his real age is dozens of years older? No matter which possibility it is, Xu Huaigu is not simple, Xu Songtu does not dare to be contemptuous, so he will admit his mistake and apologize so quickly before.

Let's save this matter until I see Master and ask him about it. The Kingdom of Shocking Feathers is a very small country, trembling between two great powers.

These two big countries are about the same size as the Dayu Kingdom, but the land of this Surprise Feather Country is only about one-tenth of the size of the Dayu Kingdom.

It survives in the gap between two great powers, and it can be said that it has to be terrified at every turn. If you are a little careless, you will be in Suchang City, which is an ordinary small city in such a country.

The small city in a small country is naturally unremarkable, but Xu Songtu said that there have been many monks in this small city recently, and it is very lively.

Gu Yue curiously asked him why he was like this, and Xu Songtu said proudly that it was his master who wanted to start a sect here, so he wanted to choose some elders and disciples, and many people came to try their skills.

Xu Huaigu heard that someone was going to start a sect, so he became interested. He has seen a lot of large and small sects, but this is the first time he has encountered this sect.

According to Xu Songtu, his master is a monk of the Seven Realms, who has been in the rivers and lakes in the country of Astonishing Feather for a lifetime, whether it is the royal family, the righteous path, or the wild cultivation on the rivers and lakes, he knows a lot, and he is known as an invincible opponent in the rivers and lakes of the country of Astounding Feather.

At this time, he was already in his fifties, had no goal to strive for, and was tired of life in the rivers and lakes, so he wanted to find a place to recuperate quietly.

It's just that the skills that he has painstakingly comprehended in this life can't be easily thrown away, and when he rises, he thinks that it is better to find a mountain and start a sect, which can be regarded as a inheritance, and future generations will still remember him.

In fact, in a small country like the Kingdom of Shocking Feathers, it is already very good to have a sect opened up by a Seven Realm cultivator.

After all, the country is a small country that does not enter the stream, and the sect is also a small sect that does not enter the stream, so it is also a good match. Thinking of the location of the sect, Xu Songtu's master remembered Su Changlai, who had passed by when he was walking the rivers and lakes before.

This small city called Suchang was built on the water's edge, and a large river flowed through the city. Not far downstream of the river, the current made a bend and flowed in the opposite direction.

At the corner of this river, there happens to be a mountain peak towering in the middle, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the environment is beautiful, it is a good place with beautiful scenery.

In a place like this, where there are mountains and rivers, generally speaking, the aura is relatively abundant. After careful investigation, he decided to start a sect here, and this is how it happened.

The group was not slow to walk, so that at dusk the next day, they saw in the distance a wide river appear, and on the banks of that river sat a quaint little town.

The small city is built by the mountains and rivers, all the gray bricks and black tiles, from a distance, it seems to be integrated with nature, harmonious and peaceful.

Xu Huaigu looked at this small city of Suchang, his heart was comfortable, he took a deep breath of air, felt clear-headed, and the aura between his bodies seemed to be running more smoothly, it was indeed a treasure of aura.

After walking so far and busily, Gu March was also a little tired, but the moment she saw this small city hidden in the mountains, she seemed to be moved by this harmonious atmosphere.

I suddenly felt that it was not in vain, and my mood was much better. Xu Songtu pointed to the city from afar, smiled and said to everyone: "That's the ancient city of Suchang, isn't it beautiful?" That's what Master and I felt when we saw this city. So they all paid attention, and the sect was going to be built here. Immediately, he looked at a mist-shrouded peak in the lower reaches of the river, pointed there, and said, "That is the peak where the Patriarch Hall of the Sect is located." The original name of this mountain is Bailiang Mountain, and the master is now on the mountain, and there are still many things to deal with, such as the site selection and construction of the ancestral hall, the place where the disciples of the sect lecture and practice on weekdays, and the place where all kinds of Dharma and magic weapons are stored, all of which need to be solemnly selected. Therefore, we can only stay in Suchang City for a few days, and when the house we live in is repaired in a few days, we will take you to see the master, and by the way, we can play on the mountain, okay? Gu March was happy in his heart, and he had nothing to do.

But she still looked at Xu Huaigu, and when she saw Xu Huaigu bowing slightly, she said happily: "Okay, I think it's great." She tilted her head and asked again, "By the way, is there anything delicious in Suchang City?" Or a fun place, it's fine. Xu Songtu was stunned when he heard this, then laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Gu, as a martial artist, also likes these worldly things?" Tell you, if you change to another monk who only cultivates, you may not know the delicious and fun places in Suchang City. But you're asking me the right person. When I'm idle, I like to wander around the city, and I know a few interesting places. How about taking the girl to visit Suchang City these days? Gu Yueyue nodded happily, and Fang He was also moved when he heard it, so he begged: "Brother Xu, can you take me to play?" I've never played with those things. As soon as it was Fang He's turn to speak, Xu Songtu's expression suddenly became serious, and he said seriously: "No, He'er, you have to be obedient." I'll send you to Master's side tonight, and you'll stay in the mountains for the next few days, and I'll bring you some delicious food and fun back another day." Fang He grimaced, pursed his mouth, lowered his head pitifully, and said resentfully, "Okay." Gu Yueyue looked at Xu Songtu strangely, hugged Fang He and said, "Why can't you take her with you?" Even if your master urges you tightly, then we will go to the city tonight to play all night and go back tomorrow, what does it matter? Xu Songtu shook his head stubbornly and said, "It's not that I don't want to take her to play, but it's really not good." Miss Gu, please believe me, Master and I also have a hard time. If Master is willing to say this, you will definitely know, please don't embarrass me anymore, I have to make sure that the crane is safe. Gu March was bored, it was not good to continue asking, nodded with interest, and stopped talking.

The group continued to move forward, and when they reached the gate of Suchang City, the number of people began to gradually increase. There was a young man wrapped in a gray cloth turban sitting and drinking at the gate of the city, and when he saw that Xu Huaigu and his party wanted to enter the city, he stood up and shouted from afar: "Eh, if you want to enter the city, please register with me first!" It turned out that it was a young man who was drunk, his eyes were hazy, and he looked like he was separated by a layer of fog, so he didn't see Xu Songtu clearly, he just thought he was an outsider.

Xu Songtu frowned, walked closer, and said, "When is this rule?" I didn't even use it when I went into town before. The man heard that the voice was a little familiar, so he asked suspiciously: "Why, Gongzi has come to our Suchang before?" Xu Songtu walked all the way to the man, the man shook his head, looked at Xu Songtu with wide eyes for a long time, and then recognized him, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, isn't this Xu Xianchang?" Oops, I'm such an old fool! His wine suddenly woke up, and he hurriedly welcomed Xu Songtu into the city gate, and said embarrassedly: "Xu Xianchang, I drank too much wine and my eyes were glazed, so I didn't recognize you, don't mind." Xu Songtu waved his hand, signaled that it was okay, and asked, "Why do you still have some things to check now?" I don't remember when I used to. The man explained: "Immortal Xu Chang, it seems that you haven't been to Suchang for a while, so there have been some changes in this Suchang City. ”

"Because Immortal Fang didn't want to open a sect in our Suchang, our Suchang is all stained, and our emperor can attach great importance to it. Therefore, just the day before yesterday, a team of officials was sent over to assist Immortal Fang in building the sect. ”

"After they came, they said that now there are many people from the rivers and lakes in Suchang City, and they are mixed, which is not good. This is not for the sake of ease of management, but they sent me to the gate of the city, and everyone who entered the city had to register their names and origins. Xu Songtu thought for a moment and said, "I see." "It's just a trivial matter, and he's not going to dwell on it.

So saying, he lifted up his feet and went into the city. The young man knew that he was the apprentice of Fang Xianchang, who established the sect, and he didn't dare to stop him, and naturally he didn't dare to stop his friend, so Xu Huaigu and the others took advantage of this to enter the city smoothly.

After entering the city, there were not many shops around, and most of the houses on the street were small two-story houses. Although there are some small shops selling steamed buns and wontons, they are all in front of their own houses, and they are all operated by individuals, and there is no big industry.

This is the most rustic business, in this small town in the mountains, the interpretation is vivid. It seems that it has never changed since eternity.

And on this street, as Xu Songtu said, Xu Huaigu saw many monks of all kinds.

Among these monks, there were the gray-haired old man, the man with the sword on his back, the richly dressed female monks, and even more teenagers and men and women, who came to try their luck under the leadership of their fathers and mothers.

But without exception, these people are very ordinary. There are old men who are seventy or eighty years old, and they are still only cultivators in the Three Realms.

There are nuns with heavy makeup, but in fact, there are no slightly more expensive jewelry. They all want to join this sect, they want to have a better future, even if there is little hope.

Xu Huaigu looked at these people, and felt a little ashamed in his heart. Every time he saw these ordinary people in the world, he thought of himself.

They don't have much cultivation qualifications, and they don't have nobles to help them, and they may not even have ever gone out to a small country like the Shocking Feather Country, so they are so ordinary, ordinary as a drop of water in the ocean, without the slightest prominence.

But Xu Huaigu is different, he was born in Qingling, the formation of suppressing Molong, he was born with excellent talent, and he was born with a sword fetus.

Along the way, there are Sun Xiang, Deng Zhiyuan, Xie Qingyun and others to help, if you don't practice well, it seems that you are sorry for God's preference for you.

However, Deng Zhiyuan once said that if he is not willing to practice, he will find a place to live quietly, and he will not be bad when he grows old.

What kind of life is right? This kind of thing shouldn't be what he should be thinking about now. His goal now is to return to Dongfu Yaozhou as soon as possible after fulfilling Zuoqiu Xun's last wish, and take his relatives and friends out of that cage.

Thinking about it, Xu Songtu suddenly stopped, Xu Huaigu also stopped with him, and a quaint mansion appeared in front of him, this is Xu Songtu's residence in Suchang City.
