Xu Huaigu was indignant when he heard Li Zi tell the secret of that old sword immortal Yang Yun. As an older generation of sword cultivators with such a high realm, although there are also reasons to kill demons, but just for this, can you put the lives of the people of Qingling at risk?

Xu Huaigu walked out from Qingling, and all his villagers lived here, how could he not be indignant?

Since Li Zi revealed the secret behind this old sword immortal sitting in Qingling, Xu Huaigu definitely had to help her.

Not for her, but for the sake of the villagers in Qingling, for his own conscience, he has to do it.

Xu Huaigu agreed simply, and Li Zi continued: "Originally, Qingling's enchantment was laid by my master, and I had already asked him for the technique of cracking the enchantment before I came, and I thought that I would let everyone leave as soon as I returned to Qingling, but I didn't expect Yang Yun to come here. Now my master's enchantment has been removed, but Yang Yun has set up a sword qi enchantment again, as long as someone enters and leaves Qingling, he will immediately detect it. Therefore, I thought of a way to let Zhang Xiaohe use his identity as a private school teacher to visit various households and explain the current situation in Qingling. It has been quite effective now, and many people are willing to escape from Qingling with us. Besides, I asked Zhang Xiaohe to bury a lot of sub-runes around the barrier of Qingling that can interfere with the sword intent, as long as I urge the mother talisman in my hand, these sub-talismans can play a role at the same time, and when the time comes, it will confuse Yang Yun's vision, and we will quickly take everyone away, and we should be able to fool the past. It sounds thoughtful, but Xu Huaigu still doesn't think it's appropriate.

Wouldn't it be too naïve to play these tricks in front of a ten-realm peak cultivator who had lived for more than two hundred years?

Perhaps their every move was always in the sight of the sword immortal, and even this conversation was uncertain.

Xu Huaigu frowned, feeling that the feasibility was not high. Seeing this, Li Zi hurriedly persuaded: "This is just the idea of me and Zhang Xiaohe, if you join in, the odds of winning can be improved a lot." What I want you to do is to go to that sword immortal to find him while we do it, and whatever you do, just hold him back. You are both sword cultivators, and you always have some common language, so you can talk to him about something related to kendo. Xu Huaigu still bowed his head, frowning, and seemed to be still weighing, and Zhang Xiaohe was also thinking about it.

Li Zi said again: "Are you afraid that after that sword immortal finds out, it will be unfavorable to you?" Then you can rest assured, although he has a strange temper, he is still very decent. As long as this thing is done successfully and the wood is done, he can't change it. Besides, this matter is already our business, and he will not do anything to you. Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "It's not because of this. I'm worried that our every move is always under the nose of that sword fairy, and in the end, don't be our wishful thinking for a long time, it's just a joke in his eyes. ”

"So what? You'll have to try it to find out! Besides, Zhang Xiaohe had already buried a lot of talismans, and he hadn't seen any movements from that sword immortal, maybe he was busy with other things and didn't have the heart to care about Qingling. Anyway, the villagers in Qingling are innocent, can you watch them become victims of war? Xu Huaigu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then do as you say, but there are some details that need to be scrutinized, and they must be as foolproof as possible." Li Zi's eyebrows were raised, and he smiled happily: "I know your temperament, this kind of thing will definitely not be shirked!" She stretched out her palm, made a gesture of high-five, and said, "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation again!" Xu Huaigu clapped her with a palm, and Zhang Xiaohe also high-fived the two to form an alliance.

After 12 years, the three of them are working together again, and let's see what kind of turmoil they will make again. …… At night, after Xu Huaigu had dinner, he picked up his sword and went to the grocery store next to his home.

He said last night that he would accompany Jiang Chengcuo to drink today, so naturally he couldn't break his promise. As for the wine that Jiang Chengcuo wanted to drink, Xu Huaigu felt that he could just take a pot of the same, and the superb wine brewed by the Ten Realms Mountain God who gave him the jar of green beads should be kept first, and he would drink it when he saw important people later.

It's not that Xu Huaigu feels that Jiang Chengcuo's weight in his heart is not enough, but because Jiang Chengcuo is too good to drink, and he is thick-skinned, Xu Huaigu is afraid that as soon as he takes out this jar of wine, he will have to try his best to drink it clean.

When the time comes, Xu Huaigu will not give him a drink, nor will he give it to him, won't he be in a dilemma? Xu Huaigu walked into the grocery store, but saw that Jiang Chengcuo was still sitting behind the counter, but he didn't eat melon seeds today, but instead ate candied fruit, and there was a small mountain of fruit cores piled on the table.

As soon as Jiang Chengcuo heard the footsteps, he hurriedly looked at Xu Huaigu, stood up and greeted warmly: "Yo, Brother Xu, you are here, please come in!" Xu Huaigu walked in, and Jiang Chengcuo also walked out from behind the counter.

He walked to the door of the grocery store, glanced at the side path, closed the door, fastened the lock, and walked back again.

Xu Huaigu asked, "It's finally closed?" Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Isn't this Brother Xu here, how can I still have the heart to greet others." Come, come, come into the back room, there is a table in it, and we sit down and drink. He opened the door next to the counter and led Xu Huaigu inside.

As soon as Xu Huaigu entered this door, he smelled a strong fragrance. He sniffed it carefully and realized that there was more than one scent, and that it was a mixture of many flavors.

He looked into the cabinet in the back room, and saw all kinds of bottles and cans neatly arranged, not like a grocery store, but like a pharmacy specializing in dispensing pills.

Jiang Chengcuo led him to sit down at a small wooden table, looked around, and said, "These are all tossed by senior sister." Let me tell you, some time ago, she somehow became obsessed with dispensing medicine, you know that she was originally a white snake, and she is the most sensitive to medicinal materials, so she went to the mountains and forests to find all kinds of herbs, either pounded into juice, or ground into powder, to make all kinds of medicines. But I think these can only be used to condition the body, and the real cure is still almost hot. Xu Huaigu saw a small dye vat on the cabinet again, which was filled with purple-red cotton wool-like things, so he asked Jiang Chengcuo again.

Jiang Chengcuo replied casually: "That, which is the peach blossom rouge she has been making recently." It's almost autumn now, where are the peach petals? It took a lot of effort for her to get her hands on it. Stay away from that rouge tank, it's really her heart. The last time I went up and sniffed it, she said that my smell was on the rouge, isn't this nonsense? Xu Huaigu smiled.

Bai Xiaoyu still has countless leisure and elegance as before, as if her cultivation has never had anything to do with her.

However, her method is special, and she practices incense Shinto, and it seems that she only needs to accept the offerings of the believers.

Lu Zhu said that her temple is mainly in Longjiazhou, and if she has a chance another day, she must go to Longjiazhou to see it. Jiang Chengcuo glanced at Xu Huaigu obliquely, and said with a meaningful smile: "Brother Xu, my mouth is a little dry this night, is it a shortcoming?" Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "Since it was said yesterday, you are indispensable." With that, he took out a jar of wine from his robe.

This is the Xianjia wine he bought on the harbor at night after getting off the ferry from Feiyuzhou to Dayu Kingdom.

It's just that it's not a precious variety, it's just better than what you sell in ordinary liquor stores. Jiang Chengcuo was not picky, took out the two sea bowls that had been prepared from under the table, filled them with wine, put one bowl in front of him, and pushed the other bowl to Xu Huaigu.

Immediately, he took out a large handful of peanuts from his pocket, sprinkled them all on the table, and said with a smile: "You can't drink wine on an empty stomach, let's have some peanuts, five-flavored." This is the last time I came with my senior sister, I passed by Xingqing and bought it in the best shop in Xingqing City. I'll tell you, that is, you, and I won't entertain anyone else. Xu Huaigu grinned, not taking his words to heart at all.

He picked up a peanut, opened the shell, and stuffed the peanut kernel into his mouth and chewed it. Jiang Chengcuo didn't stop, he took out all kinds of candied fruits from his pocket, the red ones were dates, the green ones were green plums, and the yellow ones were osmanthus, and he took them all out.

Xu Huaigu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You went to someone else's shop to buy it?" I think you bought all his shop, right? Jiang Chengcuo hurriedly pushed his hand and said seriously: "Eh, that's not it." I just bought their house short so that the people who had to line up behind me were spared the pain of waiting, and it was a merit. Xu Huaigu took a sip of wine, picked a huge and round date and put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "I see that you have been by Sister Bai's side for a long time, and you have learned a little like her." Jiang Cheng mistakenly ate a green plum, he was so sour that he couldn't open his eyes, and when he heard Xu Huaigu's words, he closed his eyes and replied, "Where?" Senior sister, she likes tea, medicine, rouge, paper umbrellas, these things, I am different, I found that I love to eat, and I can't stop being addicted to eating it. As he spoke, he picked another green plum and ate it, smacking his lips and saying, "This is not sour." Xu Huaigu smiled and leaned back, and said, "I didn't say this, I mean, you learned all her things that are not doing her job." I remember when I met you in the Zixia Sect at that time, you still liked to practice, but now let's talk about it, how long has it been since you practiced? ”

"Practice? I haven't practiced for months, what's the use of practicing? Anyway, no matter how much I practice, my senior sister doesn't do anything, and Master prefers her, so it's better not to practice. Xu Huaigu restrained his smile, straightened up, leaned forward, and asked tentatively, "Are you a little envious of her?" ”

"Envy? Not envious. Jiang Chengcuo was busy picking up the osmanthus candied fruit on the table, without raising his head.

"What is there to envy Senior Sister? Anyway, in my heart, I think Master likes Senior Sister so much, and Senior Sister deserves it. There are not many good people in this world, and there are even fewer good people who are beautiful and kind, but Senior Sister must be one. Xu Huaigu blinked, stared at Jiang Chengcao for a long time, and watched him bow his head vigorously to drink and peel peanuts, Xu Huaigu suddenly asked, "You don't like Sister Bai, right?" Jiang Chengcuo was drinking, and as soon as Xu Huaigu spoke, he almost didn't squirt a sip of wine on Xu Huaigu's face.

Jiang Chengcuo put down the wine bowl in his hand, and was dumbfounded for a long time before he hurriedly said: "Hey, Xu Huaigu, you can drink wine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" Anyway, Senior Sister is so good to you, why do you bother to arrange her? Xu Huaigu was also a little remorseful, how could he ask such a sentence, he frowned and said: "Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, I punished myself three bowls, okay?" Jiang Chengcuo poured him a penalty wine, and Xu Huaigu drank it one bowl after another, drinking a total of three bowls.

Jiang Chengcuo was still a little uneasy, and reminded: "Brother Xu, you are drunk to say such a thing." If this word reaches my master's ears, I guess I will be expelled from the master's door, so don't talk nonsense outside. Xu Huaigu agreed again and again, and Jiang Chengcuo was a little relieved.

Despite this, Jiang Chengcuo still seems to be a little uncomfortable, and drinking is not as unrestrained as before.

Xu Huaigu also realized that he had spoken wrongly, and he was ashamed in his heart. After the two drank the jar of wine, it was already midnight, and Xu Huaigu went back to his house.
