Xu Huaigu walked down the mountain with a cold face all the way, and Huo Qicheng and his party who were still surrounding the New Rain Sect seemed to know what was happening on the mountain, and seeing Xu Huaigu was like seeing the plague god, hiding far away, and did not dare to show his face in front of him.

Reading the book, so Xu Huaigu went down the mountain all the way and walked very smoothly. Cui Huai's sword before not only seriously injured Gu March, but also the New Year's goods on Gu March's body were gone, so Xu Huaigu went down the mountain this time to buy back those destroyed New Year's goods.

This year is of great significance to him, and New Year's goods are indispensable. He drove all night, and when he arrived in Yakumo Town, it happened to be early in the morning.

At this time, the morning sun is rising, and the cold fog has dissipated, but I see that today's Yakumo Town is particularly lively. Maybe it's because the snow has passed and the sky is clear, or maybe it's because the New Year is approaching, Yayun Town and Xu Huaigu are completely different when they leave.

The large and small restaurants, gambling houses, clothing and jewelry shops on the street have all reopened lively.

People in the town, who have been aggrieved at home for a long time, have also come out to shop. There were men and women who went out to play with their children, young men who asked girls out on dates, and children who chased and frolicked with each other.

And the local vendors who sell snacks are also busy walking through the streets. After all, a large part of their annual income has to rely on these few days of the New Year.

The entire town of Yakumo came alive and was filled with a lively atmosphere. Xu Huaigu stood still, called a woman who was selling wontons on the street, asked her for a bowl of wontons, and then carefully asked where the bazaar in Yakumo Town was, and walked towards the bazaar.

In the bazaar, Xu Huaigu bought a lot of New Year's goods, including black leaf wine, which were put in the robes.

He also saw the old man who sold candy paintings in Gu March's mouth, but his small stall was very deserted, and no one patronized him.

Xu Huaigu stepped forward, and when the old man saw the guests, he immediately smiled kindly: "This son, what kind of sugar painting do you want to buy?" "If Xu Huaigu is not mistaken, Gu March is four years older than herself, then in this way, she should be a chicken.

Xu Huaigu replied to him, "Chicken." The old man nodded, took a small bamboo pole and placed it on the smooth bluestone in front of him, then scooped up a spoonful of yellow and clear sugar, and began to paint.

Xu Huaigu looked at the old man's hand, and it really trembled, the chicken drawn under his hand was crooked, not like it at all.

Xu Huaigu asked casually: "Old man, why is your business not very good?" The old man kept painting, but he was not annoyed, his attitude was optimistic, and he said with a smile: "In these years, business is not easy to do, and there is no way to do it." Xu Huaigu asked again: "Where did you learn the craft of sugar painting?" The old man shook his head lightly and said, "I didn't learn, I just figured it out myself." Xu Huaigu suddenly smiled and said, "Old man, you shouldn't be short of money, right?" The old man raised his head, glanced at Xu Huaigu more, and said with a hearty smile: "Childe has good eyesight, I sell this sugar painting, just for fun." If you really rely on this to make a living, I'm afraid you will have starved to death in the ice and snow. As he spoke, the sugar painting under the old man's hand had already been painted.

Xu Huaigu looked at it carefully, but he really didn't see what this thing had to do with chickens, it looked like a bunch of sugar stuck together.

The old man handed the painted sugar painting to Xu Huaigu and said, "Five cents." Xu Huaigu took the sugar painting, thought about it, and said to the old man: "This painting is not very good, you can paint me again." The old man readily agreed: "Yes, but it will be counted as two parts." Xu Huaigu nodded.

So the old man began to paint again, and Xu Huaigu waited while eating the piece of candy that failed to paint.

The old man was drawing, and suddenly smiled, and said, "Last time, there was a young lady like Childe, who also thought that I didn't paint well the first time, and asked me to draw a second time." When she waited for me to paint the second time, she was the same as you, eating while waiting, and I looked at the appearance of eating it all carved out of the same mold as Childe. Xu Huaigu nodded casually, thinking about other things, but didn't take it to heart.

The old man muttered to himself: "That young lady, it doesn't look like she is short of money, she has a bunch of big bags in her hand." I've never seen her in Yakumo before, and I don't know where she's from, maybe it's a newly married lady or a maid from a rich family. I remember the last time she bought it, it looked like a snake. The old man smiled and boasted: "It's not bad, my old bones are quite memorable." Xu Huaigu was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something all of a sudden, and before he could ask the old man, the old man had already handed the painted sugar painting to Xu Huaigu and said, "Don't let me paint anymore, I'm at this level, no matter how good it is, I can't draw it." Xu Huaigu nodded, and another woman with a child next to him came over, and the old man hurriedly beckoned them to go again, leaving Xu Huaigu aside.

Xu Huaigu didn't ask what he wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, maybe there was no need to ask, so he left.

After buying the New Year's goods, he came to the door of an inn again, and after asking the innkeeper a few words, he went upstairs, walked to the door of a room, and knocked lightly on the door.

There was a sound of crisp footsteps in the room, and a long-haired woman pushed open the door, her eyes visibly frightened when she saw a tall man standing outside the door.

Xu Huaigu asked her, "Are you Chang Xiaoyu?" Chang Xiaoyu was scared and confused, so she asked, "Who are you, how do you know me?" Xu Huaigu made a long story short and said, "It was Gu March who placed you here, right?" Gu March is my friend, she has something to do now, and she will definitely not come to you again within two months. Chang Xiaoyu was skeptical and said, "Why should I believe you?" Xu Huaigu continued: "You don't believe it, you don't believe it. Gu March asked me to come to you, I will give you fifty taels of silver, you have two choices. One, continue to live in this inn, wait for a few months, and wait until Gu March comes back to you. Second, leave with my money and find a new place to live, and from now on see or not, depending on fate. Chang Xiaoyu had a questioning face, and he didn't believe the man's words at all, and said that he came here on purpose to make trouble, so he propped his hand on the door panel, ready to close the door at any time.

Xu Huaigu didn't have much time to explain to this woman, he took out a fifty tael of silver, handed it to her, and said, "You don't have to make a choice right away, and you don't have to tell me your choice, because I don't care at all." I'm just giving you silver, according to Gu Yueyue's meaning, to help you. Chang Xiaoyu still didn't react to what Xu Huaigu said, so Xu Huaigu didn't care about it anymore, put down the ingot of fifty taels of silver, and left quickly.

He walked out of the inn and looked up at the sky, it was almost noon. After a while, Duan You and Cui Huai will ascend to the New Rain Sect and the disciples of the New Rain Sect

"Know it with reason, move it with emotion". The bad things of the New Rain Sect really have nothing to do with Xu Huaigu. If you can not mix, you will not mix, after all, Cui Huai and Duan You are not easy to mess with.

And Zuo Qiuxun said before he died, don't avenge her. Xu Huaigu's purpose of climbing Qianjiang Mountain was to bury Zuoqiu Xun's ashes, long sword, and pipa next to Xi Ming's tomb according to her last wishes.

The rest of the things, compared to this one, are trivial. As for the survival of the New Rain Sect, it has nothing to do with him.

The New Year's goods have been bought, and Xu Huaigu is ready to go up the mountain again. Following the path he had walked several times, he walked through the streets and alleys out of the town, found a way up the mountain, and climbed the mountain.

According to his footsteps, it will take more than two hours to go up the mountain. At that time, it should just be able to bump into the negotiations between the Genshan Sect and the New Rain Sect.

It's rare that he can watch a lively show as an outsider. Xu Huaigu walked on the path up the mountain, the sun was shining down, and the thick snow had begun to melt.

The snow flowed down from the mountains, and there were several more small streams in the mountains. The snow-covered thousands of rivers and mountains are still beautiful.

Suddenly, he seemed to see something flash in the sky. So Xu Huaigu covered the sun with one hand, and looked up to see that it was a messenger flying sword that pierced the sea of clouds and flew towards this side.

Duan You and Cui Huai should already be on the mountain. After all, they have a high level of cultivation and hold important positions, so it is normal for flying swords to come to them.

But this flying sword doesn't seem to be normal. Because it didn't go to the top of the mountain, but flew towards Xu Huaigu.

Xu Huaigu was puzzled, at this time, who else would send him a letter flying sword? He paused and began to think.

This flying sword quickly fell in front of him, and Xu Huaigu saw the delicate small seal carved on the hilt of the flying sword at a glance-Qili Mountain.

Xu Huaigu raised his eyebrows, thinking in his heart, he didn't buy any more information from Qili Mountain, how could Qili Mountain send him a messenger flying sword for no reason?

What is the purpose of this flying sword? Guessing was naturally useless, he picked up the flying sword, put it to his ear, and began to listen.

The words are simple, just one sentence.

"Cui Huai asked Qilishan about your identity, and Qilishan did not leak it." Xu Huaigu frowned, this is nonsense.

Cui Huai had already asked his identity when he met him yesterday, and if Cui Huai knew his identity from Qili Mountain, he would naturally not ask.

Qilishan sent this flying sword to himself to show his merit. If Qilishan had told Cui Huai Xu Huaigu's true identity, Cui Huai's sword yesterday would not have been so simple, and maybe Xu Huaigu would have been killed directly on the spot.

And it was precisely because Qilishan did not tell Cui Huai the truth that he was a little afraid of Xu Huaigu's identity.

So dare to love that arrogant and unreasonable sword, or give in to Xu Huaigu? Thinking of this, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but grit his teeth.

It seems that this Cui Huai's methods are really vicious and decisive. Xu Huaigu owed Qilishan a favor, he returned a flying sword, explained the matter clearly, and then continued to go up the mountain.
