Chapter 67: The Secret of the Mountaintop
Xu Huaigu nodded, looked up at the window, but saw that the moonlight was already dark. Outside the window, the moon was like water, he got up and walked to the window, but saw that Fang He was still quietly taking care of the small flower garden.
Fang He took a small pot for watering, fetched water from the stream, and then slowly poured it on top of the flowers and plants.
Looking at her serious expression, she is very attentive to these flowers and plants. Zhao Liuping walked to Xu Huaigu's side, looked at Fang He gently, and said, "Look, what a good child." As long as she can live well, no matter how much hardship I endure, no matter how much I violate the rules of this world, I will be willing. Xu Huaigu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, what about Sect Master Fang?" Why is it so late that he hasn't come back yet? Zhao Liuping replied: "He is still on the top of the mountain, busy with the affairs of the sect. In fact, there is another secret in this Bailiang Mountain, and that secret is the reason why we finally decided to build a sect on Bailiang Mountain. Tonight, Xu Gongzi and I hit it off at first sight, and after talking so much, I also regarded you as my confidant. I don't think I need to hide this from you. If Childe is curious, he can go up the mountain to take a look, find Fang Shengming, and then he will know. Xu Huaigu looked at Zhao Liuping, smiled, and said, "Since Mrs. regards me as a confidant and looks up to me so much, I am willing to believe Mrs. There are some things that I don't want to hide from my wife. Anyway, madam, you've never heard of my name before? Zhao Liuping felt strange and asked suspiciously: "Where do you start with this?" Could it be that we've met before, and I should know you? Xu Huaigu shook his head and continued: "Madame, you might as well try to pronounce my name and see if it will be a little familiar." Zhao Liuping frowned slightly, lowered her head and muttered: "Xu Huaigu, Xu Huaigu...... This name ......" Xu Huaigu saw that she hadn't remembered it yet, and she was still puzzled in her heart.
Hasn't his big bad reputation spread to this little place? Suddenly, Zhao Liuping was startled, raised her head, looked at Xu Huaigu incredulously, and asked in a trembling voice, "Xu Huaigu...... It's you, are you the natural sword fetus of the East Fuyao Continent?! Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "Sure enough, Madam has heard of my name." It's just that the first time I said it, you definitely didn't pay attention. Zhao Liuping looked at the swordsman in front of him in disbelief, and the rumors he had heard before gradually became familiar with it again in his mind.
Xu Huaigu, following Su Shu's death, was a new born sword fetus in Dongfu Yaozhou. Although he is talented, it is said that he has a great deal of involvement with the demon clan, and on the ferry from Dongfuyao Continent to Feiyu Continent, he colluded with the whale demon in the sea to seize the goods on the ferry, killing the people of the ferry, and Fan Chen, a monk of the Nine Realms, also died under his calculations.
Zhao Liuping has indeed heard a lot of these notorious reputations outside in the past two years. At that time, she was still ashamed of this person, although she was a real demon clan, she had never done such a hurtful thing.
But Xu Huaigu betrayed his own race, just for his own selfish desires, how many lives were killed, such a person is really hateful.
It's just that the swordsman in front of him is completely different from the rumored image. He was both gentle and polite, and he was also kind, and Zhao Liuping couldn't connect him with the rumored Xu Huaigu.
Xu Huaigu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Looking at Madame's expression, I think you've heard a lot of my deeds?" Zhao Liuping looked at Xu Huaigu in confusion, as if hesitating, and did not speak.
Xu Huaigu said again: "If I tell Madame that those rumors about me are actually made up, and I was just calculated, will Madame believe me?" Zhao Liuping looked at Xu Huaigu's eyes and looked at it for a long time before nodding solemnly and saying, "I believe in you." At this moment, Xu Huaigu seemed to let go of a heavy shackle in his heart and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he had been worried, although it was not he who killed everyone on the ferry, but if there was no one in the world who wanted to believe him, he was also afraid of the outcome.
And now, in this distant foreign land, there is a person who is willing to believe in himself, which is actually not a trivial thing for him.
This is actually a kind of compensation for the state of mind, and Xu Huaigu urgently needs this now. Xu Huaigu bowed deeply to Zhao Liuping and said, "Madam is willing to believe me, Xu is very grateful." My wife regards me as a confidant, and I regard her as a friend, and if there is anything in the future, I will definitely help her. Zhao Liuping glanced at Xu Huaigu, thinking that this person turned out to be the legendary innate sword fetus, and there was a sense of abruptness in his heart.
After all, for the people of Flying Fish Continent, what is linked to the four words of the innate sword fetus is not only the cultivation of the Nine Realms or even higher sooner or later, but also the name of one person - Su Shu.
If a born sword fetus can be brought over, the future of the sect is promising. However, she also knew that it would definitely be unrealistic to want such a character to be a disciple of her own sect, so Zhao Liuping said half-jokingly: "Anyway, if you are really grateful to me and treat me as a friend, why don't you consider coming to our sect as a nominal worship?" Xu Huaigu smiled bitterly: "Madame, with my current reputation, if I put my name in your sect, it is estimated that everyone will stay away." But not on the surface, secretly if Madame has anything, I can still help Madame. Zhao Liuping agreed, it was already a great joy to be able to get the promise of such a promising sword immortal, she didn't dare to have any other thoughts, otherwise, maybe good things would turn into bad things.
The conversation between the two after that was nothing more than trivial matters. Staying deeper at night, Fang He returned to the attic, Xu Huaigu was still very curious about what secrets were on the top of Bailiang Mountain, and Zhao Liuping still let him go up the mountain to see with his own eyes.
By the way, he also wanted to go to the top of the mountain to see the sunrise, so he planned to set off at night, first to find Fang Shengming, and then climb to the top of Bailiang Mountain.
Fang He was still in this house, and Zhao Liuping didn't go with Xu Huaigu. So Xu Huaigu walked out of the small attic alone in the middle of the night and went to the top of the mountain.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the small attic, he took out a messenger flying sword from his cuff, said a few words to the flying sword, and the flying sword flew up from his hand, turned into a streamer, and headed towards Su Changcheng.
When he went out this morning, he said that he would come back in the evening, and it was estimated that he would have to wait until the next day.
So I deliberately sent a letter back to Gu March and asked her not to worry. At night, the mountains and forests are quiet, the moonlight is cold, and the fog is filled.
Xu Huaigu stepped on the soft soil and thought about Fang Shengming while slowly walking towards the top of the mountain. According to what Zhao Liuping said just now, Fang Shengming is a very good talker, and his temper is very similar to Xu Huaigu, and the two may fall in love very much.
All in all, Xu Huaigu's impression of Zhao Liuping is excellent now, it depends on what kind of person this Fang Shengming is.
Being able to meet some friends in this river and lake, Xu Huaigu is also very happy. …… On the side of a boulder at the top of Bailiang Mountain, a cave entrance with about one person in and out stands quietly.
Under the moonlight, the cave was pitch black, like a night sky without stars, with a strange sense of mystery.
There was a lot of wet earth piled up on the side of the hole, indicating that the hole was newly excavated. Several footprints are visible in the dirt, suggesting that there is a person in the cave.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded in the cave, and by a giant tree not far from the entrance of the cave, a middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the entrance of the cave, with some expectation in his eyes.
The man standing by the tree was dressed in black, with thick eyebrows and thick eyes, and long breathing, and he was a martial artist with a high realm.
At this time, if you look closely, it is Wufu Du Chongyang, who is guarding the forbidden place of the sect under the waterfall today.
Reading the book, he walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave and asked eagerly, "Sect Master, have you found that thing?" At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the hole.
The man has a slight beard, a green shirt, a straight nose, and a resolute gaze.
This person is Fang Shengming, the sect master of Fang in Du Chongyang's mouth. He walked out of the cave with a smile, took out a small piece of dark yellow from his hand, handed it to Du Chongyang, and said with a smile: "The hard work pays off, but we have found it." With this thing, the future development of the sect is bound to be a great help! Du Chongyang looked at the thing, and immediately overjoyed, and laughed: "It's really good, it seems that God wants to help my sect!" Fang Shengming stretched out his index finger and put it to his mouth, made a silent gesture, and said: "Since this matter has been done, then don't worry, anyway, on this Bailiang Mountain, this thing will not run, the most important thing is to keep the news." Now this matter, only you and me, and Ping'er know, and they must not leak anything to outsiders. Du Chongyang nodded several times, looked at the black hole, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Fang Shengming patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, this matter is over for the time being, you have worked hard to accompany me." Now let's go back and have a good rest, and tell the people halfway up the mountain to keep an eye on the mountain, and don't let outsiders go up the mountain. Du Chongyang said hello and was about to go down the mountain, when he saw Fang Shengming's face suddenly change, and he looked at a forest under the mountain, his face was very solemn.
Du Chongyang was anxious, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Fang Shengming looked serious and said softly: "Someone has come up the mountain." Du Chongyang's heart suddenly set off a storm, and he said in surprise: "How is it possible? Coming up the mountain in the middle of the night, there must be some plan! Could it be that the news has leaked? Fang Shengming's eyes became fierce, and he said resolutely: "No matter who he is, the secret in this cave will never be given to others." Since he dared to break through and challenge the majesty of my sect, he tried to catch it first, and if he couldn't do it, he would kill him. Du Chongyang also calmed down, nodded, walked a few steps to the other side, hid behind a tree, and dispersed with Fang Shengming, hiding in the dark, observing the direction of the people coming down the mountain.
