Chapter Eighty-Three: In Search of an Old Friend
Everyone is a sword cultivator, and they don't do too much hypocrisy. After Xin Linyuan took a sip of wine, he also began to eat meat.
Before he had eaten two bites, he seemed to have thought of something, so he beckoned the disciple who was in charge of distributing the wine and food, and instructed: "Remember to leave a copy to bring to the old gentleman who swept the floor in the ancestral hall, remember!" The disciple was a little unhappy and said, "Senior Brother Xin, isn't that old man just a sweeper?" I saw him sitting outside the ancestral hall basking in the sun all day long, in addition to cleaning the ancestral hall. Now that our sect has made such a big mess, I haven't seen him change in the slightest, what do you care about him. Xin Linyuan said stubbornly: "Since I can remember, that old gentleman has done this in the ancestral hall. I don't know how many years people have been in the New Rain Sect more than us, and we have to respect the seniority. You just do what I say, remember to be polite when you go, and be polite by calling me an old gentleman. The disciple nodded and went on his way.
Wu Susuan sat quietly beside him, looking at him with crooked eyebrows, and a smile overflowed from his eyes.
She asked, "Why, do you remember that old gentleman?" Xin Linyuan replied with a smile: "Why don't you remember." Have you forgotten that when we were children, when we were playing around and causing trouble, it was the old gentleman who took us to hide in the ancestral hall to escape the pursuit of the law enforcement elders. After so many years, I still remember the scene vividly. Wu Susu sighed: "It's just that although the old gentleman helped us, we don't even know his name." Xin Linyuan said while drinking: "Why not us? Even the elders didn't know his name, so maybe the sect master knew his identity. Wu Susu said regretfully: "But the sect master is dead." Xin Linyuan didn't want to mention these sad things again, so he didn't speak again, just drank.
Both of them have grown up on the mountain since they were children, and their feelings for the New Rain Sect are extraordinary.
When the New Rain Sect was still safe and stable, their relationship was excellent, and they often walked together, like childhood sweethearts.
What's more, they know Su Shu. Su Shu left the New Rain Sect seven years ago, and at that time, they were both thirteen or fourteen years old, and they had already reached the age of sensibility.
Moreover, before that, Su Shu was their senior sister and met them day and night. It's a pity that things are wrong.
Xi Ming died, Su Shu angrily left Feiyu Continent, and Genshan Sect rose halfway, persecuted everywhere. Later, even the sect master died, and no one inherited the incense of the ancestral hall.
At this point, everything is really closed. As soon as Xin Linyuan thought of this, he sighed and put down his wine glass and chopsticks.
Wu Susu knew that he was worried about the affairs of the sect, so he persuaded him: "Senior brother, don't worry too much, the New Rain Sect has reached such a point now, and it is already irretrievable." I know that my senior brother has a deep affection for the sect, so why shouldn't I? When the sect is destroyed, it is a big deal that I will die with my senior brother, and there will be a good response on the Huangquan Road. Xin Linyuan looked up at Wu Susu, saw that her eyes were clear and firm, and knew that she had also made up her mind to die, so she didn't persuade her, but just nodded slightly.
Wu Susu said: "The things that Senior Brother brought back this time should be enough for the disciples to last for three or four days. Xin Linyuan frowned and said, "It's only enough for three or four days?" Then when I'm done eating, I'll go down again. Wu Susu hurriedly said: "It's useless, no matter how many times you go down the mountain, you can only delay the army, and it can't fundamentally solve the problem." What's more, Senior Brother, you almost couldn't come back when you went down the mountain this time, do you think that next time, the Genshan Sect will let you back so easily? Xin Linyuan was anxious and said, "Then you say, what should I do?" Could it be true that everyone starved to death in the mountains? Wu Susu smiled with relief and said, "It makes no difference whether you starve to death or die in battle." It's just that everyone lives in fear all day long, but they forget the happiness when they lived together. ”
"Senior brother, you and I both know in our hearts that the New Rain Sect is exhausted. The only thing I want to do now is to experience the carefree days like I did back and die with these memories. Maybe in this way, the chances of us seeing each other again in the next life will be greater. She looked at Xin Linyuan gently, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, why don't you tell me about what you encountered when you went down the mountain?" ”…… After the disciples of the New Rain Sect filled their stomachs, they slept well.
This kind of sleep after eating and drinking is something they haven't enjoyed for a long time. Therefore, everyone slept very deeply, and it was not until dawn that a disciple broke into the Ming Sword Hall with the sound of hurried footsteps, and woke up the disciples who were still asleep.
The disciple who came to report the news was in a hurry, and as soon as he saw Xin Linyuan, he hurriedly walked towards him, panting and saying anxiously, "Senior Brother Xin, something strange has happened!" Xin Linyuan frowned, held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his hand, and asked, "What's so flustered?" Did the people from the Genshan Sect kill it? The disciple quickly shook his head and said, "No, but it's even stranger!" Just now, two strangers came to our mountain, who came from the foot of the mountain, saying that they wanted to come to our sect to find an old man and wanted to stay with us for a few days. Wasn't the road up the mountain surrounded by the people of the Genshan Sect? I just couldn't figure out how they got up the mountain, so I rushed over to report the news. Xin Linyuan was puzzled and asked, "What about the two of them, where are they now?" The disciple said, "You should still be outside, waiting for me to reply." Xin Linyuan frowned and said, "These two people must be weird, let me go and see it first, and then make a decision." After that, he was about to get up and go out, but Wu Susu hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him: "The origin of these two people is unknown, I am afraid that they are the tricks of the Genshan Sect." Senior brother, if you rush forward, for fear of danger, I think it is better to call the two elders and go over together. Xin Linyuan thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense, so he quickly walked up to the second floor of the Ming Sword Hall, and told the last two elders of the New Rain Sect, Elder Feng and Elder Gong, about the matter.
The two elders also felt that something was wrong, so they planned to go with Xin Linyuan, but Wu Susu was worried about Xin Linyuan, so he also followed.
Who are the two people who claimed to have come from the foot of the mountain to the New Rain Sect to find an old man? Needless to say, it is naturally Xu Huaigu and Gu March.
Although there are many people in the Nagen Mountain Sect, and Huo Qicheng from the Six Realms is in charge, in front of Xu Huaigu, who has been promoted to the Seventh Realm, how many swords can he block?
Of course, Xu Huaigu didn't hurt them, but just scared them and let them know that they couldn't stop themselves.
After all, Duan You, the sect leader of Genshan Sect, is the Eight Realms, and he has the help of Cui Huai, a Nine Realm cultivator of the Water Cloud Sect.
It depends on the owner to beat the dog, and Xu Huaigu doesn't want to find another enemy for himself. Huo Qicheng and the others saw Xu Huaigu's realm and methods, and knew that they were not opponents, so they had to give way in a low voice.
However, at this time, the news of this matter must have also reached the ears of Duan You and Cui Huai. How will the two sides of the Xinyu Sect and the Genshan Sect, which were originally deadlocked, develop under the turmoil of Xu Huaigu?
We'll have to wait and see. At this time, Xu Huaigu stood in the vast snow, looking at this stormy sect, and his heart was full of emotion.
Zuoqiu Xun, Zuoqiu Xun, I Xu Huaigu lasted four years, walked tens of thousands of miles, and finally stood in front of this sect where you once stayed.
I don't know if you really hate it in your heart? If you saw it now, would you still blame it for its powerlessness back then?
Xu Huaigu didn't know the answer, no one knew the answer, and the only person who knew the answer was no longer alive.
It didn't take long for four people to come out of the sect, namely Elder Feng, Elder Gong, Xin Linyuan, and Wu Susu.
They walked quickly in front of Xu Huaigu and Gu Yue, and the two sides took a look at each other, and both subconsciously examined each other's strength.
Xu Huaigu glanced at it, the young man in white was in the fifth realm, the woman was in the fourth realm, and the two elders beside them were a sixth realm and a seventh realm.
If this is all the remaining strength of the New Rain Sect, then it is really not enough. Gu Yueyue and Xin Linyuan had met in the restaurant, and Xin Linyuan was a little relieved when he saw Gu March, at least he could know that the two people who rushed up the mountain were not from the Genshan Sect.
He explained the matter to the two elders in the heart lake, and the faces of the two elders softened.
Xu Huaigu gave Gu March a look, and Gu March smiled at the four members of the New Rain Sect and said, "Don't blame the immortal elders of the New Rain Sect, we didn't have any malice when we came up the mountain, we just came to find an old man from your sect." Please make it convenient for the two of us to stay on the mountain for a few days, and leave with the old man. "Reading the book, that Elder Feng is a cultivator of the Seven Realms, and he should be in charge of this place.
So he asked, "I don't know who you are looking for in our New Rain Sect when you come here to wade through mountains and rivers?" This Gu March didn't know, so Xu Huaigu picked up and said, "Zuoqiu Xun." "It's not a familiar name.
Elder Feng and Xin Linyuan glanced at each other, Xin Linyuan was also confused, he had never heard of this person.
Looking at Wu Susu again, Wu Susu also shook his head and said he didn't know. Elder Feng replied, "Are the two Daoists sure that this person is from our New Rain Sect?" In my opinion, there is no such person in our New Rain Sect, and it is possible that she has already left our sect. Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "No, I'm pretty sure, she's in your sect." It's just that this name may be a pseudonym, and when I see her in person, I will naturally know what her real name is. Elder Feng's face was embarrassed, he could vaguely feel that Xu Huaigu's cultivation was similar to him, these two looked very young, but they were by no means easy to deal with, but if they rashly left Xu Huaigu and the others, they were afraid of bringing hidden dangers to the New Rain Sect.
The two sides were silent for a moment, and Elder Feng asked again: "The old man finally asked Daoyou another question, are you coming to this person for good or evil?" Xu Huaigu replied, "Please rest assured, Elder, we have no malicious intent. Elder Feng compromised, "That's very good. Since you insist on looking for this person, then stay. It's just that I have to tell you in advance that our sect is in a crisis, so you must have seen that group of people when you went up the mountain, right? Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "Not only have I seen it, but I have also fought it." Elders can rest assured that we are aware of the risks involved and are willing to take them. Elder Feng had already finished asking all the questions, so he said to Xin Linyuan: "Arrange a place for him to live, and Elder Gong and I will go around the neighborhood again." Xin Linyuan nodded in agreement, so Elder Feng and Elder Gong left first, leaving the four young people in the field.
Xin Linyuan glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and said, "Two, please come with me." Gu March took a step forward and replied, "Please lead the way." Wu Susu glanced at Gu Yue vigilantly, and then followed Xin Linyuan.
Xu Huaigu laughed for no reason, and then walked along with Gu Yueyue's strange eyes.
