Xu Huaigu returned to the inn and walked to the door of his room, but he heard the voice of speech coming from inside, and couldn't help but wonder.

After listening to it again, it turned out to be the voices of Zhang Xiaohe and Li Zi, and I realized that during the time he went out to buy breakfast, Zhang Xiaohe happened to have arrived in Xingqing and found the two of them.

As soon as Xu Huaigu knocked on the door, Zhang Xiaohe immediately opened the door, and he smiled head-on: "It's great to see that you and Li Zi are fine." On the way to Xingqing before, I have been panicking, for fear that something will happen to you, but now when I see it, I can be relieved. It's just that my cultivation is too low, and I can't help much before, so I'm really ashamed. ”

"What do brothers do you say? Everyone has their own responsibilities, and as long as they do their duty, they have a clear conscience and have nothing to do with cultivation. While speaking, Xu Huaigu handed Douhuaer to Li Zi on the bed, and asked him with a smile,

"What about you, did you eat early?"

"No, I didn't dare to sleep last night, Xingqing, who came all the way, just spent a lot of time at the city gate, much slower than you." Xu Huaigu hurriedly persuaded: "Then hurry up and go out for breakfast, be careful of being hungry." Zhang Xiaohe said with a smile: "How can you be so hungry, I'm not in a hurry, let's talk about the next plan first." Xu Huaigu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "This is a problem. Now that the Qingling formation has been broken, the invasion of the demon clan will definitely be soon, are you going to leave or stay? Li Zi took a sip of bean curd and said slowly: "I told Master before I came that I must witness this war with my own eyes, and I will go to the battlefield once before leaving." It's rare that my master has promised me, so I'm going to stay. What about you, Zhang Xiaohe? Zhang Xiaohe frowned, but said, "I'...... My words should not be kept. My realm is not enough to see, and it is useless to stay. When I traveled to Dayu and Yamato before, I made a group of friends, and now they are all ready to leave and go to Middle-earth, I think I will just go with them. Li Zi nodded, looked at Xu Huaigu, and asked solemnly, "What about you, Xu Huaigu?" Xu Huaigu said without thinking: "I definitely have to stay, as you said, go to the battlefield to kill demons." If the Great Yu Kingdom does not retreat, I will not retreat, when will the Great Yu Kingdom be destroyed, I will go north again, killing as I go. All in all, I will try to kill as many demons as I can. Li Zi seemed a little surprised, and said, "I didn't expect you to hate the demon clan so much?" Xu Huaigu frowned and said: "It can't be said to be hate, it can only be said to be helpless." If it is said that every time you kill a demon, you can save a person, of course, you try to kill it. Speaking of which, we are all just people who are coerced in the general trend of the world, and we can't help ourselves. If you don't kill, you will be killed by others, and I can't see those living human cities being slaughtered the most. Li Zi nodded in agreement: "Then we can go to the battlefield together." I have heard that after seeing the battlefield, people's minds will change, which is beneficial to the Tao. "Xu Huaigu didn't want to go to the battlefield for the sake of his own path of cultivation, his purpose was very simple, he just liked human nature, so he wanted to save people as much as possible.

He likes the warmth and beauty between people, and he can see the brilliance of human nature in any little action, a word or a casual action.

Even those things that are not very good, such as intrigue and deceit, Xu Huaigu also has another angle of liking, he sees the sadness of human nature, which is also part of human nature.

It seems that among all things, only man has been favored by God, there are joys and angers, sorrows and colors, and every living person is a unique creation, and he wants to protect this creation.

From Dongfuyao Island to Feiyu Island, he has seen countless people. Good people and bad people, immortals and mortals, Xu Huaigu often thinks of them.

How are they doing now? Is that dumb child on Crested Mountain still hungry all day long?

Where is Chu Xiuyang in the world now, is she joining the army as she wishes, and has she gone to the territory where the horse leather shroud has nowhere to be found?

He Qiao'er and her husband, who had been married for half a month, did she see the small bead coin she gave them, and did she cherish their blessings?

There are too many things like this, and they can't be counted, but Xu Huaigu has an account in his heart, and he remembers it clearly.

He likes human nature, so he cherishes the fate between people, so he doesn't want to see people die, so he wants to go to war, which is very reasonable.

It was also when he helped Yang Yun that day that he realized that in the face of the general trend of the world, it is impossible to be alone, since he is in it, this is his war, which is contrary to his previous idea that he only wants to protect the people around him.

has seen all kinds of things, people's hearts always have to change, maybe this is why he will quarrel with Bai Xiaoyu.

Bai Xiaoyu is a typical solitary person, but in a small nameless temple on another continent, he saw what it means to stay out of the matter but prefer to save the world, and what it means to be unswerving to all sentient beings, the two ideas collided, and Xu Huaigu chose the latter at this moment.

Maybe one day in the future, his mind will change, but now he has to follow his heart, and then go to war.

"Xu Huaigu, Xu Huaigu, what are you thinking?" Li Zi's curious voice came, and only then did Xu Huaigu pull out of his contemplation.

Xu Huaigu hurriedly explained: "It's nothing, it's just that I unconsciously thought of the past." Zhang Xiaohe said with some concern: "We have not been meeting for a long time this time, and I have seen you in a trance several times while talking." Every time you say that you are thinking about the past, how many things are you hiding in your heart? Li Zi also echoed: "It's not good to hide too many things in your heart, I heard Master say that if you have too many thoughts in your heart, the path of cultivation will be narrow." Xu Huaigu smiled, thinking that he had a lot more experience than the two of them.

Even if he uses the real realm to exchange these experiences with him, he is still unwilling, why not go narrow?

Xu Huaigu thought so, but still comforted them and said, "How can it be so serious? It's just that when I talk about some things, I can't help but think of similar experiences in the past. It's just a small thing, don't worry so much about me. By the way, since Zhang Xiaohe is leaving, why don't we go to dinner together tonight? There are a lot of high-end restaurants in Xingqing City, there are many in the north of the city, the dishes and wine are excellent, I haven't eaten for a long time, I am greedy. Li Zi and Zhang Xiaohe naturally agreed, Xu Huaigu was still thinking about the Pingcui he saw this morning, and couldn't help but think of the happy and chic days when he was in the restaurant with Huang Shan, Yu Qin, Zuo Qiuxun, and Pingcui.

The little girl also loved to eat delicious food at that time, Xu Huaigu watched her little face eat from a melon seed face to a chubby round face, fortunately, she has lost weight now, otherwise the whole person's appearance would not be so outstanding.

I haven't seen her for a long time, Xu Huaigu also wants to have another meal with her, and he is hesitating to call Pingcui over.

But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Li Zi and Zhang Xiaohe didn't know her, so it would be a little embarrassing to let her come, so she gave up.

When Xu Huaigu thought about these things, his mind sank again. Li Zi and Zhang Xiaohe both saw it, and the two of them glanced at each other without disturbing Xu Huaigu.

Li Zi's heart was just curious, obviously now that he was in high spirits, how could he be more like he was willing to live in the past, what had he experienced over the years?

…… In the Hangxun Mountains on the northern border of Dayu Country, autumn is ushered in in the mountains. However, even in the north of Dayu Country, it is still southerly in Dongfuyaozhou, and most of the trees are not deciduous except for the cooler weather, and the mountains are still lush and green.

There is a small village in the middle of a mountain valley with simple huts, surrounded by newly cultivated rice fields.

The people of this village are hardworking and kind, men and women are weaving, chickens and dogs smell each other, and they are doing everything to improve their lives.

It has been eight years since Xu Huaigu and his party first visited the Hangshun Secret Realm, and the village has gradually gone from nothing to self-sufficiency, and now they live a life like a paradise.

Except for the crisis of Chen Jingshan's visit, everything was very comfortable. It is very strange that two distant visitors have come to a village today.

After all, a village like this kind of remote and hidden to the point that it is not recorded in the household brochure of Dayu Country is rarely visited, and even if someone accidentally gets lost and comes, most of them will not be welcomed, but the two people who came today are an exception, and they can be regarded as the benefactors of the village.

Zhuo Cai held a banquet for the two, and every family came to the table to greet them, bringing wine, chickens and ducks, all of which did their part for the village banquet.

Although Huang Shan and Yi Yun tried their best to refuse, but Zhuo Cai didn't follow them, according to her words, the current appearance of the village is still thanks to the four of them back then, if this banquet is not held, wouldn't it be ungrateful?

It turned out that the two people who arrived in the village were Huang Shan and Yi Yun, who had gone to Middle-earth to find a way to nourish their souls.

The two of them have been traveling in Middle-earth for many years, and in recent days, they have gradually heard some rumors from the side of Dongfu Yaozhou, and they think of Yi Yun's old father who is still in Xingqing City, and the two plan to come back as soon as possible.

It is said that the method of nourishing the soul is indeed extremely difficult to find, and after many years, I have not found it, and in the end, I had to spend almost the price of bankruptcy, and bought a pair of medicine in Luoyun City, the largest gathering place of immortal traders in Middle Earth, which is good.

However, because of this, the two also stayed in Middle-earth for a long time, and earned enough travel expenses to be able to return to East Fuyaozhou, which is not embarrassing.

The years are not forgiving, Huang Shan is now in his thirties, and Xiuwei is fortunate to be able to break through another realm in Middle Earth, and now it is the fifth realm, and he can become an elder in some small sects.

Yi Yun is also in her twenties, and she is no longer the appearance of the boudoir lady she used to be, and there are many winds and frosts between her eyebrows and eyes.

She has no talent for cultivation, and is still a mortal body. The two have been companions all the way, supporting each other, although some things have not been said, but they have also recognized each other as inseparable, not to mention that Huang is good at her great kindness.

When they returned to Dongfuyao Continent this time, their first thing was to cure Yi Yun's father's illness, and then take him to leave Xingqing together, and then depending on the situation, whether to go to the north of Dongfuyao Continent or go to Middle Earth.

In fact, Huang Shan and Yi Yun also miss the old people who accompanied each other day and night - Xu Huaigu, Zuo Qiuxun and Yu Qin.

Zuoqiu Xun's skills are very good, but Huang Shan is not worried, he is still worried about Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin, these two ignorant young people, do they know everything that is about to happen in Dongfu Yaozhou?

Do you know how to run away? Naturally, his worries were completely wrong, but he was not to blame, after all, Middle Earth was so far away, and with his realm, the things he could know were very limited, and about Xu Huaigu and Zuoqiu Xun's later encounters, it was really a black eye.

I don't know how surprised he would be when he went to Xingqing and saw Xu Huaigu, knowing what happened to them later.

After a feast in the village of Hangxun Mountain, the two rode to Xingqing day and night.

Those old people who have the slightest concern for Xingqing City have entered the city one after another, and after the personnel arrive, what kind of turmoil will Xingqing make.
