Chapter 423: Return to Qingxian
Hearing Qi Zixiao's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Hua Manlou smiled slightly, "This is a good thing, Zixiao can be summoned from above, and the future is immeasurable, and our Sanyang County night watchman is also honored." ”
"Time is so urgent, why don't you stay in Sanyang County for two more days?"
Yashige spoke.
"You have disappeared for so long, many people want to see you in person, but you are now the patron saint of Sanyang County, and every family has given you tablets and treated you as a god."
"Two days ago, I also saw that some warriors also secretly hung your portraits in their homes, saying that they could keep you safe."
Zhao Lan said with a smile.
"I'm not a god, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do."
Qi Zixiao shook his head, "When I came back this time, in addition to seeing you, there was another very important thing. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Chong, "Give me the Spirit Sealing Sword, I promised the other party this sword, but I borrowed it temporarily." ”
Ye Zhong smiled slightly, without the slightest reluctance, took out the Spirit Sealing Sword from behind his back and threw it to Qi Zixiao.
"I didn't want to stay, but you didn't come back, and I won't go back to this sword."
Taking this spirit sword, Qi Zixiao smiled faintly, "Although this sword can't be given to you, I will help you find a more suitable spirit for you in the future." ”
Exiting the chamber, a group of people returned to the branch.
Qi Zixiao came to the mansion where he was, but as soon as he appeared here, he saw two women cleaning up the yard, one washing clothes, and the other cleaning the courtyard.
It is the fine willow and the cold plum.
The two maids were also subordinate to the night watchman, and when they were assigned to Qi Zixiao, they were already destined to be tied to Qi Zixiao.
Although Qi Zixiao's life and death are uncertain, they also have to stay here.
Unless Qi Zixiao really dies, they will be rearranged.
"Sister, do you think Childe will really come back?"
Hosoyanagi was washing clothes, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and asked.
When Han Mei heard this, the movements at hand also paused, and she said softly, "Definitely, Childe is so powerful, the mountain gods have been killed by him, and no one can easily take him away." ”
"However, Childe has disappeared for so long, and there is no news at all......"
The thin willow's voice was a little dull.
"Okay, don't think about it, Childe must be fine."
Han Mei interrupted the other party's words and said in a firm tone.
As they were talking, all of a sudden, a red light appeared, enveloping the entire courtyard.
Looking at this familiar light, the two women were only startled at first, and then looked around with a look of ecstasy, and a figure walked slowly with a familiar smile on their faces.
"Childe!"
They all exclaimed, and tears flowed down their eyes.
"Okay, I'm not back."
The red light disappeared, and Qi Zixiao stood in front of them and said with a smile.
"Childe, you're hungry, I'll cook for you."
Xiaoliu seemed to think of something, and hurriedly spoke, that is, he went to the kitchen to cook, and Hanmei went to make tea and brought various pastries.
Soon, a table of meals was ready, and both of them looked at Qi Zixiao eagerly, feeling that life was full of motivation.
"Yes, the cooking skills of the fine willow have improved a lot."
Qi Zixiao ate a piece of fish and praised with a smile.
"Childe tastes the braised pork I made."
Hanmei also looked at Qi Zixiao expectantly, and pointed to a plate of braised pork with bright colors as if offering treasure.
"Well, Hanmei's cooking skills are also very good."
Qi Zixiao smiled and praised.
Full of wine and food, sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, Xiaoliu stood behind Qi Zixiao, gently pinched his shoulder, and said softly, "Childe shouldn't leave when he comes back this time." ”
"Not for the time being, this time I wake up, the headquarters in Beijing will summon me, and I will go to Beijing."
Qi Zixiao spoke softly.
"Shall we follow?"
The fine willow paused, and asked softly.
"No, it's too far away from Shangjing, I can't guarantee what I'll encounter, your strength is too weak, and I may not be able to save you if you encounter danger."
Qi Zixiao shook his head.
"When I come back this time, I will go to Qingxian County and bring my uncles and aunts here, and you will take care of them."
"Yes, Childe."
When the two women heard this, they both spoke in low voices.
An hour later, Qi Zixiao left his residence, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into Sanyang County.
After about a stick of incense, Qi Zixiao stood on top of a wilderness, the spiritual realm unfolded, distorting the space, and a small town loomed.
Qi Zixiao was covered in red light and entered the town directly.
In the broken temple, Qi Zixiao saw the sword-wielder again, compared to the last time they met, this old man's appearance had changed greatly at this time, his body was rickety, his face was old, his hair was white, and his eyes were dull.
The only similarity is that the other party is still holding a bottle of wine in his hand.
"You're finally here."
Looking at Qi Zixiao, the old man laughed, his voice hoarse.
"Return the Spirit Sealing Sword to you."
Qi Zixiao waved his hand, and the Spirit Sealing Sword fell into the opponent's hand.
The old man didn't care, "This sword is useless to me, I have already burned my own life, and the mission of the sword bearer will fall on Qingdu from today on." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the young man who had just walked in on the side, and with a wave of his hand, the Feng Ling Sword fell into the other party's hand, "Qingdu, put away the sword, you will be the third generation of sword bearers in the future, follow the big brother in front of you to leave Taiping Ancient Town, go out to travel, and wait until you are strong enough one day, and then return here." ”
"Grandpa......"
The boy's eyes were red, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Don't cry and cry for me, remember, we sword-bearers have no bad seeds, if you cry in the future, don't say it's the sword-bearer."
The old man spoke coldly.
"Yes, Grandpa."
The boy gritted his teeth and said.
"After you go out, Qi Zhutou is the only person you can trust, his words are equivalent to my words, you must listen carefully."
The old man instructed again.
"Although you have now become the third generation of sword bearers, you still have a long way to go before you can control this sword, so try not to use this sword until necessary."
As he spoke, the aura on his body became even weaker.
The boy just listened and didn't interrupt.
"Ahem, I can't hold on anymore, but luckily I waited until you ...... in the end"
The old man coughed again and looked outside, "Qi Zhutou, the hope of my sword-wielding person is handed over to you, don't let me down." ”
At this moment, the aura on his body suddenly soared, as if returning to the light, his snow-white hair turned black in an instant, his figure became straight, and his appearance became handsome.
"The second generation of sword bearers, Zheng Shanhe, the last sword, will open Taiping for another ten years for Taiping Ancient Town!"
The old man's voice echoed, and a terrifying force that moved Qi Zixiao erupted in the other party's body, and at this moment, he was in front of him, and he was being excluded from this space, and the young man.
Faintly, Qi Zixiao saw that in the distance, a touch of darkness was coming, like a tide.
Zheng Shanhe was like a glowing moth at this time, rushing into the darkness.
"Boom"
At the last moment, Qi Zixiao saw that Zheng Shanhe's body turned into a sculpture and stood outside the ancient town, and the darkness was blocked, unable to move forward.
……
Standing on top of the wilderness, Qi Zixiao looked at the young man on the side, the other party's face was cold at this time, and his eyes were red, it was obvious that he knew what was going on.
"What's your name?"
Qi Zixiao asked.
"Chen Qingdu!"
When the young man heard this, he turned his head and spoke calmly.
"My name is Qi Zixiao, and you can call me Brother Zixiao in the future."
Qi Zixiao smiled slightly and said softly.
"I promised your grandfather that I will be your protector for the next ten years."
"I'll do everything I can to look after you."
"Come with me now."
After saying that, a red light appeared, enveloping each other, and they disappeared in place in an instant.
Calm returned to the wilderness, and a gust of wind blew and whistling.
……
Qingxian, after a period of time, calm has returned here again, people come and go, there are many wine shops in the county, and shops abound.
There are many small traders and vendors hawking on the streets.
Although the place is not large, the county is very lively.
Qi Zixiao came from a distance, followed by Chen Qingdu, and the young man looked at the outside world with a curious expression.
Looking at the familiar road, Qi Zixiao couldn't help but feel a trace of ripples in his heart.
At the gate of the city, there were still a few guards, and one of the guards led by looked at Qi Zixiao who was coming, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then wiped his eyes, seemed to have finally confirmed, and ran forward with an excited face, "Qi Zhutou, you, you're back!" ”
Qi Zixiao looked at each other, although he didn't know each other, he still nodded with a smile.
"Qi Catcher is back, Qi Catcher is back!"
This person spoke loudly, and the voice was so loud that it alarmed countless passers-by.
Everyone looked at it, and immediately found Qi Zixiao, many people are natives of Qingxian County, and they are naturally no strangers to Qi Zixiao, but Qi Zixiao took action to save everyone in Qingxian County.
Therefore, the scene suddenly exploded, and everyone gathered around like crazy, screaming excitedly.
"Qi Zhutou, you're finally back......"
"Qi Catcher, I like you......"
All kinds of voices were mixed, and Qi Zixiao had no choice but to fly up with Chen Qingdu and fly towards his uncle's mansion.
Everyone looked at Qi Zixiao who flew away, and desperately rushed forward, if you look at it from above, you can find that in the entire Qingxian County, countless people are rushing towards Qi Zixiao's home.
Among the county officials of Qingxian County, the county magistrate and a group of headhunters were extremely surprised when they heard the news and rushed to the county one after another.
Not only them, but all the big families in Qingxian County who have a bit of status have taken a lot of gifts to visit.
Although the gap between them and Qi Zixiao is too big now, if they can climb a little relationship, it will be something that will benefit the family for a lifetime.
At this time, Qi Zhen was drinking tea in the courtyard, Liu Yu was sitting on the side, eating a piece of pastry, and there was a pothos standing behind him, although they were not short of money now, but they were still reluctant to ask for more people.
"Pothos, you can taste one too."
Liu Yu may be in a good mood, holding a piece of pastry and handing it to the pothos behind her.
"Thank you, ma'am."
The pothos spoke softly, took a small bite and ate it slowly.
"Auntie is in such a good mood."
Suddenly, a laugh appeared.
