Xu Huaigu's cold attitude caused Xin Linyuan to be quite dissatisfied, and he was angry, so he wanted to go forward and reason with Xu Huaigu.

But fortunately, Wu Susu hurriedly grabbed him and whispered a few words of persuasion before he gave up. Wu Susu glanced at Xu Huaigu, gave him the steps and said, "Senior Brother Xin, since this guy is so unhappy, let's not worry about him, just leave here." Anyway, there are still many places worth visiting in the New Rain Sect, so there is no need to waste time with him here. Xin Linyuan glanced at Xu Huaigu angrily again, and then nodded, ready to leave with Wu Susu.

"Wait!" Xu Huaigu suddenly stopped them and asked, "May I ask you two, do you know where there is a sea of purple spike flowers in the New Rain Sect?" "Xin Linyuan was also going to go back

"No comment", but as soon as he heard this name, his expression suddenly froze, and he quickly asked, "Where did you hear about this place?" Xu Huaigu replied: "I learned from the mouth of the old man I was looking for when I went up the mountain. When Wu Susu heard the sea of purple flowers, his expression was also stunned.

At this time, her expression softened a lot, turned her head to look at Xu Huaigu, and said, "Your old man is very familiar with the New Rain Sect, but it's a pity that this sea of flowers was destroyed by a wildfire five years ago. That place, now a weed, has nothing to look at. Xu Huaigu nodded in thanks, and then asked, "Since the two of you grew up in the New Rain Sect, can you know Xi Ming?" As soon as they heard this name, Xin Linyuan and Wu Susu's faces suddenly changed, they looked at each other, and said in disbelief: "Are you here to find Xi Ming?" Xin Linyuan looked solemn, took Wu Susu's hand, took a step forward, blocked her behind him, and then quietly touched the scabbard on his waist with his other hand.

Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "You don't have to be like this, Xi Ming and I don't know each other, I'm not here to avenge him, I just asked casually." ”

"Please also ask the two of you not to be so wary of me, since I said that coming up the mountain is not malicious to the New Rain Sect, I will do what I say." Xin Linyuan didn't believe him, and said coldly: "I regret taking you up the mountain now. Xu Huaigu was noncommittal and said with a smile: "But there is no regret medicine in the world." Xin Linyuan and Wu Susu hurriedly left this place, Xu Huaigu watched them go away, lowered his head and thought about it, and then began to continue to find suitable stones.

…… said that Gu March got Xu Huaigu's order and went down the mountain to buy New Year's goods. She swaggered down the mountain, not intending to hide her whereabouts at all, but was naturally stopped by a group of people from the Genshan Sect.

Once born and twice cooked, the person named Huo Qicheng saw that it was Gu Yue, and asked, "What are you going down the mountain for?" Gu March replied according to what Xu Huaigu taught her: "My master asked me to go down the mountain to buy New Year's goods." He also said that if you don't let me go down the mountain, he will come and meet you with his own sword. Huo Qicheng laughed after hearing this, and then didn't ask much, and let Gu March go.

Gu Yueyue left triumphantly, Huo Qicheng watched her gradually disappear between the mountains and forests, so he took out a messenger flying sword and passed everything that happened today back to Duan You, the sect leader of Genshan Mountain.

And in the Genshan Sect, after Duan You got this messenger flying sword, he was also puzzled by Xu Huaigu's inexplicable appearance.

As for the statement that he went down the mountain to buy New Year's goods, he didn't believe it. After all, in his eyes, how can there be a monk who still celebrates the New Year?

Fortunately, he is not the only one in charge of the affairs of the Genshan Sect now, and the elder Cui Huai from the Shuiyun Sect is also here.

It's better for two people to discuss it together than for him to figure out a way alone. Duan You asked Cui Huai, "Mr. Cui, what do you think of this sword cultivator who came in?" Will it have an impact on our big picture? Cui Huai held a cup of tea in his hand, took a sip, and said slowly: "Don't worry, wait for the letter from Qili Mountain to come, and first find out the details of this sword cultivation." As soon as the words fell, a streamer flew by in the sky.

Cui Huai took another sip of tea, and another messenger flying sword fell in front of his eyes. Duan You smiled: "It's really just talking." Cui Huai also smiled back, put the Messenger Flying Sword to his ear, and then, his expression began to be strange.

Duan You asked, "What do you say over there in Qili Mountain?" Cui Huai frowned, and said with some confusion: "Qilishan said that they don't know anything. Duan You was also quite surprised, and said, "There can be something they don't know?" Could it be because this sword cultivator is an unknown person, so they don't care at all? Cui Huai put down the teacup in his hand, stroked his beard, and said, "Huo Qicheng is the Six Realms, but he said that the realm of this sword cultivator is much higher than him, so it is at least the Seven Realms." Such a sword cultivator is dressed in disguise, and he also brought an apprentice, can Qilishan not notice it in advance? In my opinion, it was Qilishan who was unwilling to tell us about this man. Duan You said again: "Then according to Mr. Cui, could it be that this person's background is very large, and Qilishan does not want to be involved in this matter?" Cui Huai sighed and said, "I don't know yet." And I'm very curious, what is the identity of this person, and he is willing to stop in front of my Water Cloud Sect for the sake of the New Rain Sect. Has the New Rain Sect ever met any big names? Duan You said with certainty: "Over the years, I have collected all the information about the New Rain Sect, and I have never heard that the New Rain Sect has such a strange fate. Unless......" He suddenly seemed to come back to his senses and remembered something, and said: "Mr. Cui, do you think Su Juan will fake his death, this person is Su ......"

"Ridiculous!" Cui Huai's face suddenly turned pale, he flicked his sleeves suddenly, knocked the teacup to the ground, and scolded: "How could it be her!" She's already dead! Cui Huai then scolded: "Originally, swallowing the New Rain Sect was a big matter of sesame mung beans, and I personally suppressed it, what else could there be any trouble?" I think you're worrying about nothing! Duan You saw that Cui Huai was angry with him, and he was also quite dissatisfied in his heart, but this was the elder of the Shuiyun Sect, and his realm was still one realm higher than his own, so he had to swallow his anger and nod his head to say yes.

Cui Huai was furious, and said: "It's boring to sit in the Genshan Sect and drink tea all day long, instead of relying on the news of Huo Qicheng and Qili Mountain, it is better to go in person and meet that person for a while!" I don't believe it, what kind of waves can he make under my hands! ”…… After Xu Huaigu found a good bluestone, he cut it with sword qi, and then returned to the Ming Sword Hall with that piece of bluestone.

There were many disciples in the Ming Sword Hall, and they were quite puzzled when they saw him dragging a stone back. But Xu Huaigu turned a blind eye, just sat down by the fire in the previous pot, put the bluestone on his side, and then carefully polished it with sword intent.

When all the disciples saw him behaving like this, they all chattered on the side, but Xu Huaigu just pretended not to hear it.

"This man is really strange, when he came up to the mountain, he said that he was looking for an old man, but when he came up, he didn't see who he was looking for. Now I dragged a stone from outside and brought it back to grind, what is this for? ”

"I don't think he's so weird, he must not have any good intentions! If you want me to say, just get him out! ”

"Senior brother, be quiet! Beware of being heard and provoking a fight. ”

"What if he hears it? The disciples of our sect are all here, he is a foreigner, how dare he not do it to us? ”

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, everyone is angry. In this world, there are always some people who don't fit in. Look at the old gentleman in the ancestral hall, who has been sweeping the floor all day long, has never interacted with us, isn't he also a weirdo? This man is strange, but he grinds the stones and doesn't have anything to do with us, so let him go. ”

"Eh, I heard that after Senior Brother Xin came back from bringing wine and food from the bottom of the mountain that day, he specially asked Senior Brother Zhu to bring a copy to the old gentleman who swept the floor. This old gentleman, it's better for everyone to be respectful. ”

"Respect? What is there to respect? The sect is in great trouble, I don't see what contribution he has made to the sect? I used to think that the old man might be an unborn monk, but now it seems that I am thinking too much! He's a sweeper! ”

"No, junior brother, what you said is a bit ugly. No matter how you say it, people in the sect are also higher than you, how can you say that about the old man? ”

"Seniority? What's the use of seniority, can it save the sect? If he can save the sect and bring us food back from the bottom of the mountain like Senior Brother Xin, I will respect him! Otherwise, don't think about it! Seeing that a group of people were about to quarrel because of this sweeping old man, and it happened to be heard by Elder Feng who walked back to Mingjian Hall, he suddenly grimaced and said in a deep voice: "Enough!" Don't even say it! ”

"There are difficulties outside the sect, is it possible to have internal strife? Be quiet for me, and if I hear anyone talking about it again, punish him to go out and chop wood for everyone!" The few people who had been arguing before heard Elder Feng's rebuke, and they all blushed and said, "Yes, Elder." The inside of the Ming Sword Hall finally quieted down, and Xu Huaigu quietly kept this matter in mind while polishing the bluestone.

The old man who swept the floor all day long in the Xinyu Sect Patriarch Hall, Xu Huaigu had a heart, he had to find a time to inquire.

Xu Huaigu was polishing the bluestone with sword intent, and when Elder Feng walked past him, he deliberately looked at it twice.

Xu Huaigu retracted his hand, smiled back faintly, and the Elder Feng left without saying a word. He continued to polish the bluestone with his head down.

This piece of bluestone was carefully selected by him for a long time before it was determined, and it was indeed a good piece of material.

The stone is smooth and delicate, the color is the black of ordinary stone with a little light blue, and if you look closely, the wisp of cyan is quite hazy with the mist of the south of the Yangtze River.

This piece of bluestone should be very suitable. He sat quietly beside the fire, carefully polishing the bluestone, until the night covered Qianjiang Mountain, and two people sat opposite him, and he stopped.

Those two are Xin Linyuan and Wu Susu who returned from playing. Xin Linyuan saw that Xu Huaigu really had a good stone in his hand, and he was so suffocated that he had nothing to say.

Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "How about it, I didn't lie to you, right?" Xin Linyuan was a little reluctant and said, "Okay, then even if I misunderstood you this time." But you haven't said yet, what exactly are you going to use this stone for? Xu Huaigu still shook his head, unwilling to say.

Xin Linyuan was helpless, but Wu Susu asked him softly: "Xu Daoyou, it is indeed the two of us who misunderstood you this morning. Can you tell us who you're looking for? Xu Huaigu replied: "I have already said before, her name is Zuo Qiu Xun." Xin Linyuan said categorically: "I'm pretty sure that the New Rain Sect has never had this person. Xu Huaigu was noncommittal, but asked again: "Wu Daoyou hasn't told me yet, where is that sea of purple spike flowers?" Wu Susu stared at him for a while and said, "Here I walked half a mile north along the path, and I saw a place overgrown with weeds." Xu Huaigu arched his hand and smiled: "Thank you." ”
