said that Xu Huaigu was going to walk into this grocery store to buy a broom, and as soon as he said that sentence, he saw the person sitting behind the counter, and his expression suddenly froze.

The young man sitting behind the counter laughed heartily and replied to him, "Yes, yes, let alone a broom, Brother Xu wants everything!" Xu Huaigu was stunned for a long time before his face showed joy, and he seemed to be a little incredulous and said, "Brother Jiang? The man smiled and nodded.

Who is this man sitting behind the counter snorting melon seeds? is an old acquaintance with Xu Huaigu, and his surname is Jiang, so it is naturally Jiang Cheng's fault.

Then there is no need to say much about the identity of the senior sister he was talking about, naturally it was Bai Xiaoyu.

It turned out that these two people had already come to Qingling, and they were idle here at this time, opening a grocery store.

Jiang Chengcuo hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet him and said, "Hurry up, come and sit." Oh, give you melon seeds. As if there were countless melon seeds in his pocket, he took out handfuls after handfuls, and at this time he grabbed a large handful and handed it to Xu Huaigu.

Xu Huaigu took it easily, but his mind was not on the melon seeds. He casually put the melon seeds on the table and asked eagerly, "Where is Sister Bai, did she come with you?" Jiang Chengcuo didn't say yes, nor did he say no, but just said: "Don't worry, since Senior Sister is here in Qingling, she will definitely have to meet you sooner or later." Don't worry, let's talk first. Xu Huaigu looked at the many things in the grocery store, and there were many familiar things.

For example, the oil-paper umbrella sold at the door was seen in Xingqing City back then, and it was Bai Xiaoyu's craftsmanship, so there would be no mistakes.

Jiang Chengcuo raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Huaigu, lowered his head and swallowed melon seeds, as if asking casually: "Brother Xu hasn't seen him for a few years, and his cultivation has improved a lot, even I can't see your details." The two of us know each other so well, so we don't have to hide it. Tell me, how many realms have you had? Xu Huaigu stretched out three fingers, Jiang Chengcuo's expression changed greatly, his teeth tightened, he didn't bite the melon seeds, but bit the tips of his fingers fiercely, and he suddenly screamed in pain.

"Phew!" He spit out the melon seeds in his mouth with all his might,

"Eight realms? Are you kidding me, really? "After five years, Xu Huaigu only had five realms at that time, Jiang Cheng mistakenly thought that the current Xu Huaigu had reached six realms at most, and it was even likely that he would still be in the same place in the five realms.

But when we meet today, he is in the Eight Realms? That doesn't make sense, does it? Isn't it too unfair?

Jiang Chengcuo thought that the frustration his senior sister had given him was deep enough, and now that there is another one, can he continue to live this day?

What else is there to do, just go home and farm. Xu Huaigu's expression was flat, and he asked, "What happened after you fled back that time?" Jiang Chengcuo was heartbroken, he didn't want to deal with Xu Huaigu, but he still wanted to expose his scars, and he didn't want to talk anymore.

But he knew that his senior sister must be listening behind the door, so he had to answer: "Master is very angry, saying that my senior sister and I are fooling around, and it is obviously okay to ignore it, but he killed a monk from the Nine Realms. Then I was locked up with my senior sister for two years before I was released. Ouch, you don't know how I spent those two years, sitting and practicing all day long, standing and lying down, and I didn't even have to drink a sip of wine. I'm going to die if I don't drink, you know? Later, the senior sister thought of a way, secretly got some rice, and made her own wine and drink, but the taste was not to mention. Jiang Chengcuo's face became more and more bitter, and said: "Brother Xu, you said that I suffered such a big grievance for you, you can't not remember my goodness!" Xu Huaigu felt ashamed, and he really couldn't stand him, so he said: "You're right, it's all because of me." In the future, if there is anything that can be used for my help, I will not refuse! Jiang Chengcuo's face softened suddenly, and he smiled again: "Since Brother Xu is so polite, then I'm not welcome, there is something that needs Brother Xu's help right now." Xu Huaigu only felt as if he had been cheated by him, but since he had agreed, he couldn't go back, so he asked, "What's the matter?" Jiang Chengcuo said: "The next time Brother Xu sees that old sword cultivator, please help me say a few more kind words in front of him." Xu Huaigu was puzzled: "Which old sword cultivator?" ”

"It's the one sitting in Qingling, you must have seen him when you came in." Xu Huaigu remembered the white-haired old man who stopped him in the woods in the early morning, it should be him, but Xu Huaigu was not familiar with him.

Xu Huaigu frowned: "I don't know him well, I don't even know who he is or what his name is, how can I help you with good words?" Jiang Chengcuo hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, you are all sword cultivators, and you are all decent people, you will mature sooner or later." It's just that you must remember to help me say a few more good words. Xu Huaigu thought for a moment and asked, "Does he know that you two are from the Demon Sect?" Jiang Chengcuo frowned, nodded fiercely, and said softly: "That old sword cultivator's origin is not small, anyway, he recognized the two of us as soon as he saw him." What did my sister say to him, so he didn't kill the two of us, otherwise where would you still see me now? It's just that I'm still a little uneasy in my heart, in case there is a good one, if he repents, it will be over. Xu Huaigu realized that this was the case.

He asked Jiang Cheng again, "Who is that old sword cultivator?" I've never seen him before, so I don't think I should have cultivated to such a high level of sword immortal when I came to Dongfu Yaozhou, right? ”

"But isn't it, there is only one Fuyao Sect that is powerful in the sword path of the East Fuyao Continent, and there are only two sword cultivators in the Ten Realms of the Fuyao Sect, Deng Zhiyuan and Luo Xinran, and this old sword cultivator is naturally not among them. Actually, although he didn't say where he came from, I could still tell that he was famous. Jiang Chengcuo pretended to be mysterious and whispered: "I have seen the sword he carried, it should be the sword immortal of the Yang family in Middle Earth." "The Yang family in Middle-earth?

This name Xu Huaigu has heard many times, and it is said to be the pinnacle of the sword dao in the whole Central Domain. If Taihua Mountain is the holy land of Taoism, then for sword cultivation, the Yang family is like the status of Taihua Mountain.

It's just that he didn't go to Middle Earth, and he never met the people of the Yang family, but now he met him in Qingling, and it can't be said that it is also a kind of fate.

It's just a sword immortal from Middle-earth, what did he do when he came to Qingling? Isn't he here to go into battle to kill the enemy and sharpen his kendo?

It's just that he is already so old, and it is not a matter of a day or two to break through the realm, and sharpening the way of the sword is something that young sword cultivators like to do, so it is not his turn to come in person.

Xu Huaigu told Jiang Chengcuo this question, and Jiang Chengcuo said that he didn't know, only that when he and Bai Xiaoyu came to Qingling two months ago, this sword immortal was already sitting here.

As for how long that person came and why he came, he didn't know anything, so Xu Huaigu had to give up.

However, one thing is certain, this sword immortal should not have bad intentions. After all, Qingling is now staring at many forces, whether it is the local sect of Dongfu Yaozhou or the court of Dayu Kingdom, they will definitely not allow an unidentified sword immortal from other continents to sit in Qingling, the only possibility is that this old sword immortal is recognized by everyone as decent.

Xu Huaigu asked Bai Xiaoyu where he was now, Jiang Chengcuo was about to answer that he was here, Bai Xiaoyu immediately sent a message to him in Xinhu and said that it was not the time to meet, so Jiang Chengcuo hurriedly changed his words and lied: "Senior sister, she has been making rouge recently, and she needs some fresh petals, so she went to the mountains to pick them yesterday, and she hasn't come back yet." When she comes back, I'll tell her you've arrived, and she'll come to see you. So Xu Huaigu couldn't see Bai Xiaoyu, so he had to leave.

Before leaving, Jiang Chengcuo hurriedly stopped him again and said, "The broom is in the corner over there, just take it." Our brothers are all members of our own family, take it, don't want silver, what to do with me politely! Xu Huaigu took the broom, because he didn't see Bai Xiaoyu, he seemed to be a little lost.

As soon as he walked with his front foot, the door next to the counter opened, and Bai Xiaoyu walked out from inside. Jiang Chengcuo smiled, glanced at her, and asked, "I ran to this ghost place specifically to see him, why did he disappear when he came to see him?" Senior sister, senior sister, I really don't understand you. Bai Xiaoyu just glanced at the house opposite the shop, and said lightly: "It's not time yet, we'll see you in a few days." ”…… In a adobe bungalow in Qingling, there is a small building made of red bricks, which is the beginning of the story, the private school in Qingling.

The old gentleman who taught Xu Huaigu and his party back then is no longer alive, but there are still many children sitting in the private school, and the sound of books is loud.

The new teacher is a young man, who is said to have also walked out of Qingling back then. It's just that not long after he went out, he returned to his hometown and became a private school teacher.

This private school teacher is very popular with the local elderly and children, not only because of his high knowledge and patience, but also because he is kind and does not charge tuition.

Therefore, sometimes when the men who work in the fields pass by this private school, they are also willing to stand outside the window and stop to listen.

Amid the sound of books and lectures, the sun gradually moved overhead, and noon arrived. At this end of the day's homework, after class, the children were still in groups of threes and threes, laughing and frolicking, and rushed out to their respective homes to eat.

In the memory of this private school teacher, the child who had no money to pay tuition, was unwilling to leave after class, and had to ask Mr. for questioning and questioning was now gone.

But it's okay, he doesn't want to see that kind of kid again. Mr. Private School also went outside, and he was not in a hurry to go home, but wandered around the village path.

On the way, he met an old man driving an ox cart, and the old man stopped to say hello to him before continuing to walk.

This is in line with his memory, except that the people on both sides have changed. A short walk further on, you'll be at the grocery store.

He didn't come to buy something, but walked to the house across the street from the grocery store and knocked on the door.

A girl in purple clothes quickly opened the door for him, and the young private school gentleman walked in, and Jiang Chengcuo watched coldly while eating melon seeds in the shop.

The young man met with the purple-clothed girl, and as soon as the girl closed the door, she couldn't wait to say, "Xu Huaigu is back." The young man hurriedly asked, "When?" ”

"I just came back this morning. I also saw him go to the shop opposite, talk to the man sitting behind the counter for a while, and finally take a broom and leave. ”

"What did they say?"

"I didn't hear it, and I didn't dare to listen to it too carefully with a spell, otherwise they would have noticed."

"Did he meet the woman in white?" Read the book

"That's not true, Bai Xiaoyu has been at the back of the shop, and I didn't see her come out." The young man picked up a cup of tea, frowned and pondered.

Perhaps the worries of the two of them were unnecessary, Xu Huaigu's reputation for colluding with the demon clan outside came from the mouth of the Zixia Sect after all.

And that Zixia Sect has a big enmity with Xu Huaigu, it is very likely that it is framed, or it adds a lot of oil and vinegar, and it is even more difficult to distinguish between three points of truth and seven points of falsehood.

"Zhang Xiaohe, you said that Xu Huaigu is not such a person, right?" The girl in purple also took a sip of tea, her eyebrows furrowed,

"It was the demon clan that killed the Chen family back then, and turned Qingling upside down, he can't help but remember, right?" It turned out that this young private school teacher was Zhang Xiaohe.

When he mentioned the incident back then, his face was difficult to look at. Speaking of which, his mother died from that incident.

Seeing that his face was ugly, the girl in purple seemed to feel that she had said the wrong thing and should not mention the past, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "I think it is better to continue to wait and see for a while, don't rush to meet him first, so as not to cause another accident." By the way, have you buried all the talismans in Qingling? Zhang Xiaohe nodded and said, "It's all buried as you said." Anyway, if we do this, can that sword immortal really not see it? The girl in purple gritted her teeth and said, "It doesn't matter if he can see it or not, as long as this thing can be done." In any case, the villagers of Qingling cannot be the burial companions of the war! Zhang Xiaohe also said in a firm tone: "Okay, then I'll listen to you." ”
