It was dark, and under the impatient urging of the pharmacy guys, Xu Huaigu left the pharmacy and walked towards Chen's mansion.

The streets are deserted during the day and deserted at night. The rain around him was very heavy, and several fine sword qi burst out from Xu Huaigu's body as if it couldn't stop, chopping the rain into mist.

No one could see that Xu Huaigu was in a bad mood.

"Xu Huaigu, why did you come back so late? What about the medicine I asked you to buy, did you buy it back? Huicheng stood at the door of Chen's mansion and waited, and asked when he saw Xu Huaigu.

Xu Huaigu only said that he didn't buy it, so he walked in with a cold face. Huicheng was puzzled, but also a little angry and aggrieved, Xu Huaigu is usually not like this.

In the room where the group was resting, Nengwu and Wu Cheng were counting the items needed for the practice. Steward Shi stood aside and said earnestly: "Masters, if you want to do something, say it early!" I can just leave the rough work of buying things to me, and it will be too much trouble to do it myself! Neng Wu replied: "Chen Yuanwai provided us with food and accommodation, we are already very grateful, these little things should not trouble you." ”

"Master Nengwu is too polite. If you have anything to tell me in the future, come to me. This is what Chen Yuanwai said personally, and I, as a housekeeper, have to do my duty. ”

"Thank you, Steward Shi. If you need help in the future, you will have to rely on you. When Nengwu was talking to Steward Shi, Xu Huaigu and Huicheng also walked in one after another.

Xu Huaigu's face was tense, and he glanced at him and realized that something was wrong with him, so he glanced at Huicheng and inquired.

Hye Sung shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know either. Neng Wu didn't take this matter too seriously, but thought that Xu Huaigu was uncomfortable.

Hui Cheng saw that Xu Huaigu didn't buy medicinal materials, so he asked Steward Shi to help him buy them. Although the government is in charge of medicinal materials, the Chen family is a famous family on this side, and it is not difficult to get some medicinal materials.

Steward Shi promised to come down and left. The epidemic situation in the city is deteriorating rapidly, and it is not optimistic.

The time to decide what to do is sooner rather than later, and it is set for the day after tomorrow, and some preparations will be made tomorrow.

The group was tired all day, and after agreeing on the time, they went to rest. Xu Huaigu was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

In the middle of the night, the rain stopped a little, and Xu Huaigu had a lot on his mind. He didn't have the heart to sleep, so he found a secluded place to sit in the courtyard of Chen's mansion.

The night in the courtyard is gloomy like water, the sky is like ink, the clouds are bright and the moon is bright, it is a good sky that has not been seen for a long time.

I hope it won't rain again tomorrow, if it rains again, Xu Huaigu will be upset, and he may have to raise his sword to find trouble with that water god.

He wondered in his heart, if he faced the water god, what were the chances of winning? According to the previous statement of the old man of the land, the water gods in this section of the river are either the seven realms or the eight realms.

It's just that the water god is in his own river, and there is river water to manipulate, and his combat power can be improved by at least one realm.

If the water god is the Seven Realms, he can still fight, but if it is the Eight Realms, I'm afraid it will be difficult. The Water God of the Eight Realms is equivalent to a Nine Realms monk.

Chen Jingshan and Cui Huai, and Xu Huaigu, a monk of the Nine Realms, have also killed two of them, but they are all hole cards, and they are dangerous and dangerous.

Originally, he had exhausted his luck in Feiyu Continent, and he finally survived, and this life could not be given away like this.

This sword is too risky to come out. Although there should be justice in the world, Xu Huaigu can't exchange his life for this justice, and it's not impossible now.

The court of the Great Mang Country also sent officials from the Ministry of Rites down, and it stands to reason that this water god has to give the court a face no matter what, so he quickly used his magic power to stop the rain, and everything was easy to say.

This sword doesn't have to come out. It's better to keep it well, and then repair some of your mood in Chenghe Temple, and then make plans whether to go back to East Fuyao Island or go to Middle Earth.

Xu Huaigu hadn't practiced swords under the moon for a long time, and it happened that the weather was cooperating, so he drew his sword out of the sheath, and in this courtyard, he danced his sword.

The sword was the phoenix feather sword of the rank of an immortal soldier, and the whole body was pitch black, but it couldn't hide the sharpness of the blade at all.

He closed his eyes and felt the coolness coming from the palm of his hand. Pick the sword, press the sword, level the sword, and draw the sword...... One action at a time.

The blade of the sword slashed through the air, hissing, and the phoenix feather sword flew neatly in Xu Huaigu's hand like flowing water.

The final set of sword moves ended with a beautiful landing flip sword flower. Xu Huaigu's closed eyes slowly opened, and he smiled slightly, he was very satisfied.

Peace of mind and practice the best sword. Over the years, the stars have changed, from mountains and rivers to the boundless ocean, from the wilderness to the lights of thousands of homes, the people around him have always come and gone, separated and scattered, only a sword in this heart, a sword in the heart lake, and a sword in the scabbard at the waist will always follow him and never separate.

He seemed to understand a little bit of what Deng Shikite had said to him before, the sword is the closest person to the sword cultivator, and the sword has feelings when he gets along day and night.

The sword is emotional. Xu Huaigu saw that the sword in his hand was slightly white, the waves rolled up in the heart lake, and the aura around him slowly floated towards him as if it was alive.

He was no longer the ignorant boy he used to be, he knew what was going on.

Xu Huaigu calmly sat down cross-legged, allowing the aura to enter his body, flow through the veins of the whole body, and then sink into his heart lake.

The lotus pattern carving on the lotus seed sword emitted a gentle white light, and the blade seemed to be more solid and powerful than before.

Finally, Xu Huaigu's cultivation that had not been advanced for a long time finally went further. In the middle of the Seven Realms, although it was only a small breakthrough, it was very important for Xu Huaigu.

This shows that he did not treat in vain after half a year in Chenghe Temple, and his inner demons were indeed suppressed temporarily.

And what he saw and heard during the day this time was also an opportunity, his mood changed from boring to calm, practicing swords under the moon, and everything created this breakthrough.

Perhaps, this breakthrough is for him to take some responsibility. Xu Huaigu hadn't thought of this yet, he only remembered that when he woke up from the drunken state of breaking the realm, it was almost dawn.

A touch of pure fish belly white hangs in the sky, the morning glow is brilliant, dazzling like a colorful gemstone inlaid in the air, brilliant.

"Awake?" The soft female voice sounded in his ears, and Xu Huaigu was startled. He hurriedly turned his head to look at his side, only to see a middle-aged woman standing beside him, and an emerald green crane hung on his shoulder.

The woman had clear eyebrows, a calm look, and was well dressed, Xu Huaigu hurriedly asked, "Are you?" The woman smiled and replied, "I am Chen Congming's wife, and my name is Shen Hanguang." You are the little master who came with Master Baihe yesterday, right? I saw that you were sitting and asleep in this courtyard, and I feared that you would catch a cold, so I added a garment to you. I didn't expect that as soon as you added it, you seemed to wake up. Xu Huaigu hurriedly got up and thanked him: "It turned out to be Mrs. Shen, thank you Mrs. Shen." He secretly thought in his heart, fortunately, this Mrs. Shen didn't disturb him.

The critical time to break through the realm is the most undisturbed, if you are woken up, there will be endless troubles. It is with this that Xu Huaigu should also thank her.

Shen Hanguang smiled: "It's okay. I know you were busy with a ritual yesterday, and you worked hard. Xu Huaigu also smiled in response to her, and asked again, "It's not dawn yet, what is Mrs. Shen doing getting up so early?" ”

"Go and give morning porridge. The people in the kitchen are doing things in a mess and cutting corners, and I don't feel at ease. I got up early to see them, so they could make this morning porridge. ”

"I do this little thing myself, Madame is really exquisite." Shen Hanguang covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "You little monk, you are quite good at talking." I still want to ask you, why do you sleep outside at night, is it that people are bullying you? You tell me who it is, and I'll let Steward Shi teach him a good lesson. "Shen Hanguang was born beautiful and well-maintained, although he is in his forties, he has the charm of a.

This style of covering up and smiling is not comparable to even young girls. What's more, this kind and delicate mind made Xu Huaigu have a very good impression of her in his heart.

Reading the book, Xu Huaigu replied: "Mrs. Shen misunderstood, I am not a monk in Chenghe Temple, I just live in Chenghe Temple, and Mrs. can regard me as a guest of Master Baihe." No one bullied me last night, but I saw some things during the day, and I couldn't sleep, so I came to this courtyard to relax. I fell asleep somehow, and I apologized for causing trouble to my wife. Shen Hanguang looked at him twice, as if he was a little abrupt, and said, "No wonder, I said that I saw that you had a sword on you, and I was curious." Monks also learn sticks when they practice martial arts, how can they have swords. It turns out that you are not a monk, but it makes sense. Xu Huaigu nodded.

Shen Hanguang asked curiously: "But what did you see during the day yesterday, and you couldn't even sleep at night?" It can't be a girl you fall in love with, right? Xu Huaigu hurriedly said: "Madame said that I went to a pharmacy called 'Xinglintang' during the day. Some of the things I saw made me feel uncomfortable. ”

"Xinglintang, it turns out that you went to that place...... Shen Hanguang lowered his head and pondered for a while,

"Did you see a woman with a baby in her arms?"

"Exactly!" Xu Huaigu was a little surprised,

"Madame knows, too?" Shen Hanguang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Harm, everyone knows more or less about that woman." It's no wonder that you feel uncomfortable, it turns out that you met her. In fact, things in her family are far from being as simple as you seem. If you want to know, come with me to the soup kitchen later. Of course, Xu Huaigu wanted to know more about the woman, so he hurriedly agreed.

"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen to urge them first, and you can go to the gate and wait, and come with me in a while." Shen Hanguang left, Xu Huaigu originally wanted to go to the door, but after thinking about it, he said goodbye without saying goodbye, it was estimated that Huicheng was going to sulk again, and he was indeed a little fierce to her last night.

So Xu Huaigu went back to the room, left a note explaining the reason, and then went to the door to wait for Shen Hanguang.

It didn't take long for Shen Hanguang to prepare everything. The door of the mansion opened, and several carriages slowly drove out of the Chen mansion.

Xu Huaigu boarded the carriage and sat down beside Shen Hanguang. The first rays of the morning sun shone down.
