Chapter 129: March Peach Forest
Since the flying sword is disobedient, Yu Qin has no choice but to wait for it to come back when it is tired of playing. The two of them had not spoken properly for a long time, so they took advantage of the pleasure to go into the woods along the path, and wandered around.
March is the best season of the year. The birds in the forest are singing pleasantly, the spring is tinkling, the flowers are in full bloom, and even the wind is mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers.
The two of them found a trail that they had never walked before and went deep into the mountains and forests. After a while, they came across a peach blossom forest, Yu Qin was happy, and the two walked towards the flower forest.
The peach blossoms in the mountains bloom late, and only fragile buds have just emerged. If it weren't for the several sunny days in a row, I am afraid that I would not even be able to see these buds.
Yu Qin thought of Xie Qingyun's matter, so she asked with some doubts: "Speaking of which, I'm just breaking through the realm, why did I even alarm Lord Xie Gu?" It makes me feel sorry for it. Xu Huaigu lowered his head and smiled, but did not speak.
Yu Qin continued to take care of herself: "It stands to reason that I am a member of the Fuyao Sect, and she can be so enthusiastic about me, which shows that she is really good to us. Xu Huaigu still only smiled.
Yu Qin turned her head sideways to look at him and asked, "Why don't you speak?" Xu Huaigu stopped in front of a peach tree, broke a peach blossom bud, and said with a smile while playing with it in his hand: "Do you think Xie Qingyun can really be so heartfelt and heartfelt to us for no reason?" Everyone is a sword cultivator of the Nine Realms, and usually the Divine Dragon sees the beginning but does not see the end, and can personally suppress the formation of a Sword Cultivator of the Four Realms, unless you are her personal disciple. ”
"So, there's a reason she's so nice to me? Could it be that it is stained with your light? Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "How can I have such a big face." Yu Qin lowered her head and thought about it again, frowned and asked, "Then there must be something to ask us." But our realm is not as good as her, what can she ask us to do? Besides, she didn't say anything. Xu Huaigu shook his head, threw away the bud in his hand, and picked a new one, which had opened slightly, and he could see the heart of the stamen.
Yu Qin saw that he didn't speak, so she also pinched a peach tree branch by herself, gently patted it on the palm of her hand, and lowered her head to recall: "I still remember the time when we didn't meet, I lived in the Astragalus Mountain, and I heard the old people in the village say that beating the wall with peach branches in spring can drive away snakes and insects. Hanging the peach charm on the eaves can keep the blessing of a year, and even the ghosts dare not enter the house, do you think this is true? Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "It's true." Look at Li Zi, the talisman knife on her back is made of peach wood, and Taoists like peach wood because peach wood can drive away ghosts. ”
"When I think about it, in fact, many of the things said by the older generation have their own truths." Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "The old customs that have been handed down for thousands of years have long been not only customs, but also a belief rooted in people's hearts. As long as it is faith, there is a reason for it. Even if there is none, there are more people who believe, and it makes sense. The two bathed in the spring breeze and walked for a while.
Since she had already refined the Natal Flying Sword, Yu Qin felt that her waist was empty, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it, so she said: "When you go back, you have to find out the sword of the Fuyao Sect and tie it, otherwise there will be no external sword to use." After that, she also glanced at Xu Huaigu's waist out of the corner of her eye, and then noticed that there was no sword on his waist, and only a jade pendant was hanging, and she couldn't help asking, "Where is your sword?" Xu Huaigu secretly said in her heart that she had finally found out, so she had to answer truthfully: "It's sold." ”
"Sold?" Yu Qin was taken aback, looked at it carefully, and made sure that the sword was really gone, and couldn't help frowning,
"Didn't lie to me? Really sold? Xu Huaigu nodded slowly. Yu Qin hurriedly stopped, patted him on the shoulder, and said hurriedly: "That's the sword that Sister Zuoqiu left for you, even if you want to tease me, you can't use that sword to make fun of!" You put that sword away, right? Xu Huaigu still shook his head and said, "It's really sold." Yu Qin looked at him in a daze, Xu Huaigu also looked at her eyes, nodded, and said seriously: "It's really sold, it's no longer in my hands." ”
"Sold to whom? How much did it sell for, and can it be bought back? Yu Qin was so anxious that she was about to cry,
"You don't lack money, how can you sell swords? Even if you want to sell it, what can't you sell, why sell that sword? ”
"That's the sword that Sister Zuoqiu left for you! It's a shame that you used to think about her more, so you sold all your swords? Xu Huaigu frowned, sighed, and said, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Actually, selling that sword is the same thing as asking Xie Qingyun why he was so good to us before. Yu Qin was stunned and said, "You sold the sword to her?" ”
"No, it was sold to Wei Caiyi." This time Yu Qin was even more confused. Didn't Wei Caiyi go back to Middle-earth, why did he only retreat for more than a month, and he was involved in Wei Caiyi again?
Selling the phoenix feather sword, this is not a trivial matter. Not only because of the rank of this sword, but more importantly, the special significance of this sword to the two of them.
Zuo Qiu Xun's influence on Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin is unforgettable, and the sword she left behind is not only a sword, but also a testimony of the love of several people.
Now that the man is dead, and only the sword remains, the weight of the sword is even heavier than that of the mountain. Now that Xu Huaigu said that the sword was sold, can she not be in a hurry?
Of course, Xu Huaigu didn't intend to hide it from Yu Qin, but when she asked, Xu Huaigu also told them one by one about Qingfeng Valley these days.
Including the deal that Wei Caiyi went to Zixia Sect to discuss with Fuyao Sect, as well as Xie Qingyun's worries, and what Liu Wan'er said to him, he said it without reservation.
When he knew that after this sword was sold, what he exchanged for the lives of the entire sect of Qingfeng Valley was Yu Qin lowered his head and was silent.
After talking about these things in one breath, Xu Huaigu finally felt a lot more comfortable in his heart. He thought that the Feng Yu Sword was gone, so he sighed and said, "After all, it is the sword she left behind, of course I cherish it very much, even if I want to protect it with my life, I am also willing." But now such a thing is in front of me, either I don't tell anyone the origin of this sword, and still hide it in the scabbard, and when the demon clan fights over, of course we have already gone north, and the survival of Qingfeng Valley has nothing to do with us. But now that I know about it, and know that I can exchange a sword for the lives of everyone in the Valley of the Winds, not to mention our friends, I can't settle this heart. Of course, I hesitated, but I felt that if Zuoqiu Xun was in the same situation as me, she would have sold the sword. Yu Qin was stunned and whispered to herself: "Of course she will." ”
"So I feel that if I really hide my sword and walk away, I will look down on myself, even you. So I didn't want to do something I regretted, so I sold the sword to Wei Caiyi. Now that everything about the relocation of the sect has almost been negotiated, in a few days, there will be a fairy boat in Luoyun City to pick up people, they should leave, and we can also go north to Fuyao Sect. Yu Qin pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and said with some grievances: "But after all, it is Sister Zuoqiu's sword, I am really reluctant." You said that when we have money in the future, can we still buy it back from Wei Caiyi? "That's a treasure of the heavenly spirit, Wei Caiyi can't even ask for it, how can he sell it back to them?
Xu Huaigu frowned and sighed: "I'm afraid it's difficult." Yu Qin felt very uncomfortable, but she also knew that Xu Huaigu did it reasonably.
If you don't know it in your heart, it's okay, but if you already know in your heart that you can exchange a beloved sword for a life, and you can still be cold-hearted and don't do it, it's ruthless enough.
Xu Huaigu is not that kind of person, Yu Qin is not that kind of person, and Zuo Qiu Xun is not that kind of person.
Since there is such a secret in the sale of the sword, Yu Qin has nothing to say. However, she was still very disappointed in her heart, and when she thought that it was Zuoqiu Xun's sword, she couldn't stop recalling those past events, but the memories hurt people.
Xu Huaigu gently held her hand and comforted: "Forget it, let's go to Feiyu Island again in the future, and go to Zuoqiu Xun to explain to her what happened, she will definitely understand." Yu Qin nodded, and both of them fell silent, not in much of a mood to continue walking, which coincided with that
The "rain curtain" sword also had a good time, and at this time rushed back to Yu Qin's side, got into her heart lake to warm up, and the two went home, ready to go back to the bamboo building.
Before leaving, Yu Qin also glanced back at this peach forest, and said to herself: "I don't know what will happen to these peach trees after we leave, and the demon clan occupies this place?" Xu Huaigu replied: "You can ask Ruyu when you go back." These are all trees, according to their demon clan, they are all natural children like them, and they should continue to bloom well. Yu Qin muttered, "But we are also children of nature." Xu Huaigu was stunned, and the two stood in place for a moment, and then walked back.
However, when the two returned to the bamboo building, they saw Xie Qingyun standing at the door of the bamboo building, leaning against the door, closing his eyes slightly, as if he was waiting for someone.
Standing by the bamboo building, there is naturally no need to say who is waiting. Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin stepped forward, Xie Qingyun opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "I just remembered something, so I'll come back again and tell you." The two asked what was the matter, and Xie Qingyun said that they went into the building to talk.
After entering the bamboo building, the three of them sat down around the table, and Xie Qingyun took out two swords from his robe and put them on the table.
The two swords are one long and one short, the long sword has three feet five inches, and the short sword also has three feet two inches, and the patterns on the scabbard and hilt are very old styles, which look like they are very old, and they should be two ancient swords.
But the texture of the scabbard is not stained with fine dust, and looking at its appearance, the rank will not be low. Xie Qingyun smiled and pushed away the scabbards of the two swords respectively.
Xu Huaigu knew at a glance that these two swords were genuine immortal soldiers, and they were also ancient swords, so they could be regarded as the best among the immortal swords.
"These two swords are all the hidden swords of my Qingfeng Valley for many years, and they are all immortal soldiers. The famous long sword is 'Chopping Jiao', and the short sword is famous 'Killing Whales', which happens to be a pair. I see that neither of you has an external sword to use, so I thought of giving it to you to make an external sword and talk about some thoughts of the sect. "Two immortal soldiers, just give them away?
Yu Qin was in a hurry, and hurriedly excused herself: "No, it's too valuable, this can't be accepted." Xie Qingyun smiled and said, "No need to say more, just accept it." Yu Qin still wanted to excuse herself, but Xu Huaigu grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "Then we will accept it, thank you for the kindness of the valley master." Xie Qingyun smiled and nodded.
Xu Huaigu seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked again: "The valley master gave Li Siqing and An Xiaoyu a handful of immortal soldiers a few days ago, as a gift, and today gave us two more, I want to ask, how many immortal soldiers are there in Qingfeng Valley?" Xie Qingyun's expression was a little unnatural.
Xu Huaigu asked sincerely: "It's not that I want to inquire about the secrets of Qingfeng Valley, I'm just curious, how many immortal soldiers can be hidden by such a large sect as Qingfeng Valley over the years?" "Actually, there were five more in the past, but one was given away a few days ago
"Concentric", now two more have been sent, and only the last two immortal soldiers remain. If there is anyone in the valley who can break through the Eight Realms and be promoted to the seat of the elder, it stands to reason that he has to give it away, it will really be clumsy.
However, these words cannot be said to Xu Huaigu under any circumstances. So Xie Qingyun only smiled and said casually: "There are a lot of them, you can accept them with peace of mind." Xu Huaigu nodded as if he had realized something.
A few people drank another round of tea, and Xie Qingyun said goodbye and left. Yu Qin looked at the two immortal soldiers on the table, still a little uneasy, and said worriedly: "Although she said so, I always feel that Qingfeng Valley is not so rich. Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "If we don't accept it, how can she feel at ease?" Yu Qin's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she also nodded, and said, "Then even if we use it for the time being, when there is a new immortal soldier, we will return it to her." Xu Huaigu smiled and nodded.
