The days passed in a flash, and another ten and a half years passed.

During these ten and a half years, Xu Huaigu has been staying in the Water God Palace, one is to write letters, and the other is to consolidate the realm. Of course, with his temperament, he naturally went outside to take a turn.

It is said that the place where this water god palace is located is also a place where mountains and rivers are beautiful and Zhong Minyu is beautiful. The Luhua River here is close to the source, the river water is clear and sweet, with the chill carried from the snow-capped mountains, it is very similar to the Ling River in Xu Huaigu's hometown. A few days ago, Xu Huaigu had the heart of amusement, so he walked upstream along the river for a day and a night, and saw a huge mountain range in the distance, and the high part of the mountain range was full of white snow and ice, which was the deep pale blue. qs

Xu Huaigu really wanted to climb up to see the scenery, but Luzhu had persuaded him before and asked him not to go up the mountain. Naturally, there is nothing to do in the Luhua River, but if you go to that mountain, it is not the boundary under her jurisdiction. That mountain range can be said to be the ancestor mountain of Flying Fish Continent, known as the origin of the dragon vein of Flying Fish Continent, and there is a great mountain god of the Ten Realms entrenched on it, if Xu Huaigu goes, it will inevitably cause unnecessary incidents.

Originally, staying in the Water God Palace had already caused trouble to Luzhu, and when Xu Huaigu heard this, he gave up the idea of mountaineering. It's better to stay in the Water God Palace, otherwise if you don't even go back to Dongfuyaozhou, you will set off another storm, and this return to your hometown will be delayed again.

Today is July 16, and at night, Xu Huaigu is preparing things in the room, planning the route, and preparing to leave the next day and return to Dongfuyaozhou.

Lu Zhu's news about the situation in the south of Dongfu Rock Continent came yesterday, saying that the border formation had been affected by the demon clan several times. Although the formation is still operating normally, there are also reasons why the demon clan just wants to be tempted, and if they are really determined to attack, the role of that formation is very limited. This is at least a wake-up call, the demon clan is already on the move, and a general attack may be launched at any time. Correspondingly, the armies of the four major countries in Dongfuyao have also been drawn and stationed on the border, and war is about to break out.

After Xu Huaigu heard the news, he began to sit still worriedly. In any case, he had to dare to return to Dongfu Shaking Continent before the Demon Clan launched a general attack.

Qingling is the closest place to the border, and once the demon clan attacks, Qingling will inevitably fall first. And that was his hometown, wandering away for too long, and many, many good memories were still there, waiting for him to pick them up again. If he can't go back to Qingling again, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

But Luzhu was a little embarrassed, because the investigation work on her side had not yet been completed. What was expected to be solved in ten years has not been completed after ten and a half years. It's really too long in the Luhua River, and it's not the beginning of the year, and the water gods in various places are busy, either they can't leave, or they have a favor to do, and they come a few days later. dragged it around, and the green beads couldn't arrange the time, so it didn't finish it for so long.

Regarding this matter, Lu Zhu also felt a little guilty about Xu Huaigu. Originally, I wanted to give him a satisfactory thank you gift, but I couldn't pull away. But at this time, Xu Huaigu no longer cared about asking for that thank-you gift, and when he knew that the war was about to be provoked, he was like an arrow, and he just wanted to return to Dongfuyao Island as soon as possible.

In fact, there was nothing to pack, the most important thing for Xu Huaigu was just a few swords, and everything else was in his robe. The so-called things to be sorted out should be more about your own emotions.

It is said that the hometown is timid, and for a wanderer who has not returned for twelve years, this emotion may only be extraordinarily strong.

Without telling Luzhu, Xu Huaigu walked out of the Water God Palace alone and headed towards the river.

He walked on the bank of the river, his eyes staring blankly to the far west, which was the direction of Dongfuyao Island. It's also strange to say, obviously Dongfuyao Continent is the westernmost continent in the Central Regions, why is it called Dongfuyao Continent? In fact, this question has been in his mind for a long time, but it sounds a little ridiculous.

It's just a matter of naming, maybe it's just a casual thing, where does it come from so much?

At night, there was a strong gust of wind on the river. Blowing across the river, blowing through the treetops, blowing away the heat of the summer night. The sky is full of stars, dotted with stars, like a game of chess. Then the two people sitting on this sky and talking must be extremely high immortals.

Xu Huaigu continued to walk forward, but saw that there was no way in front of him

There seemed to be a small figure sitting on the river beach in the distance. The figure was loosely robed, but the skeleton was small, like the shadow of a girl, and there was a jar in front of it, and I don't know what it contained. She was looking up at the moon.

Xu Huaigu glanced up with her, the moon was huge, faint yellow, and the shadow was clearly visible. It is said that the moon of fifteen is sixteen round, which is true.

Xu Huaigu didn't want to disturb the girl's interest, so he took a detour, preparing to walk past her in the woods. The leaves of the tree were blown loudly, and the girl's laughter was like a silver bell: "Xu Huaigu, I have been waiting for you here for a long time, but you want to take a detour, are you angry with me?"

Xu Huaigu stopped abruptly, glanced at the girl again, and suddenly said that he was confused.

What kind of girl is this, isn't this the voice of green beads? After a few more glances, the figure suddenly looked like a green bead.

Xu Huaigu hurriedly walked over to Luzhu and explained, "The night was too dark, and I didn't look carefully, but I didn't dare to disturb if it was still a girl who was enjoying the night."

Lu Zhu giggled: "You are a decent gentleman, but you don't know which girl dares to admire the moon by the river alone? Quasi-eaten by jackals. If someone really does this, I am afraid that somewhere they will lose their minds and have the intention of throwing themselves into the river, and this kind of thing often happens in my river."

While speaking, Xu Huaigu had already walked to Lu Zhu's side and also found a stone slab to sit down. A smell of wine came, and he realized that the jar in front of Luzhu was filled with wine.

Speaking of which, I have been drinking less recently, and I am probably missing people who have been drinking.

Xu Huaigu asked her, "Aren't you busy these days, you can't even see your figure for several days, how can you still have the heart to admire the moon?" Are you done?"

When Lu Zhu heard this, he was a little ashamed. She handed the wine jar in front of her to Xu Huaigu, and said with a smile: "Look, if you're really angry with me, isn't this just for you? Let me tell you, this is the real immortal brew, and I only went back to the mountain god on the mountain you are going to to ask for it after I wore out my mouth. He was also a drunkard, and in order to make those jars of wine, he also planted crops on his own mountain, and picked the dew of white dew, the white frost of frost, the rain of the first rain, and the residual snow on the plum blossoms. I don't want to take a few sips on weekdays, you see, for the sake of me begging him for so long, it's time to dissipate my anger, right?"

Xu Huaigu wasn't angry with her in the first place, where did she get rid of her anger? He just smiled and took the jar of wine and asked, "Do you drink it?"

Luzhu shook her head and replied, "I don't like to drink. It's not that I haven't drunk it before, but I'm not used to it."

Xu Huaigu nodded, and said, "Since you don't drink it, and this wine is so precious, I'll keep it for now and drink it slowly later."

Lu Zhu glanced at him with a smile and said, "I know that you are going back to Dongfu Yaozhou, so you will inevitably meet a few old people, so I will give you a jar of good wine." It's wonderful to sit down and have a drink with someone who has gone before."

Xu Huaigu smiled: "You are so caring, how can you make me angry?"

Lu Zhu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I won't send you a jar of wine, there are many things." Although Jiangli still has a lot of affairs to deal with, it is not something that can be done in a while, and it will not be good for me to accompany you all night."

With that, she took out two more gold and silver sewing bags from her bosom. The bag is about the size of a palm, the luster is shining, and the workmanship is particularly exquisite.

Lu Zhu handed the two bags to Xu Huaigu's hand and said, "These two bags are for you. There are twenty colored beads in one of them, and there is an excellent sword grinding stone in the other, which is a high-grade magic weapon and rank, which is an ancient thing. In the future, if you fight with the demon clan, you will kill more demons, and the blade of the sword will be worn, so it is excellent to sharpen the sword with this sword grinding stone."

Xu Huaigu took it, did not shirk it, put it in the robe, and thanked, "Sister Luzhu has a heart."

Lu Zhu laughed and said, "I was called a girl a few days ago, but I changed my name to sister these days, I really think I'm old, don't you?"

Xu Huaigu hurriedly smiled and said, "Where did it come from? One or two hundred years from now, when I can't get old anymore, my sister will be as beautiful and young as she is now. It's just that my sister is a senior, so calling her a girl is a bit frivolous, but I didn't think it through before."

Lu Zhu pursed her lips and said, "You can call it whatever you like, anyway, your mouth is pleasing." By the way, you will go to Dongfu Yaozhou tomorrow, how are you going to go?"

Xu Huaigu replied, "Prepare to go west. Edgeworth will go to the west coast of Flying Fish Island, and then find a big city and take a ferry across the sea to return to Fuyao Island in the east."

Luzhu said, "If you want, I can send you to the mouth of the Luhua River, there is a big city over there, and it will be safer for you to take a ferry from there to go back to Dongfuyao Island through Zhongtu."

Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "In that case, it will be too far, and it may not be possible to reach it in two or three months, so I'd better go west."

Luzhu bowed her head and muttered for a moment, and then admonished, "If you go to the west, I won't be able to protect you. It's okay if you want Edgeworth, but remember to fly above the clouds or you might be noticed. You know for yourself that your current identity cannot be exposed in Flying Fish Island."

Xu Huaigu nodded yes, and the two stopped talking, and it was almost time to part.

Xu Huaigu suddenly remembered something and asked her, "You don't drink, so how about drinking tea?"

Luzhu smiled, "I don't love either, no matter what I drink, I don't love it. Maybe it's because you've drunk river water all day long, and when you see those who bring water, you feel that you have to back down three points!"

Xu Huaigu laughed, and Luzhu also laughed. The two sat and chatted all night, but they didn't realize that the sky was gradually clear.

Luzhu stood up and said solemnly, "Then, on the way home, please take care."

Xu Huaigu also got up and arched his hand and said, "Take care, see you in the future."

He sacrificed his natal flying sword, and the flying sword flew him into the clouds, and Green Bead helped him cover up the movement of the flying sword in the air.

One flew into the air, and the other dived to the bottom of the river again.

Lu Zhu secretly thought in his heart that the next time the two of them saw each other, he would already be famous all over the world, just like the previous master of the Longquan Sword.
