Shi Shuzu looked at the people who were far away, with a serious expression.

After a long time, he sighed leisurely, and then said to the disciples and Dao elders who rushed to hear the movement:

"The traitor is dead, and the ugly group is ambushed, and you must remember that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized!"

All the disciples and elders said yes.

Shi Shuzu then turned to Zhao Rang again, bowed to him, and said:

"Zhao Gongzi, please!"

Zhao Rang politely returned the salute and said:

"Seniors, don't worry, I won't take a word of the things on Baihe Mountain to the mountain."

After receiving Zhao Rang's assurance, Shi Shuzu nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the Taoist masters:

"There are still a few thieves who have escaped, and I want to warn my disciples to be careful when walking in the mountains these days! In addition, those who have anything to do with this matter will be sent to the Nine Heavens, and I will punish them in front of Lu Zu! ”

With that, Shi Shuzu carried his hands behind his back, walked through the crowd, and walked in the direction of the Nine Heavens.

Zhao Rang stood in place, looked at the corpse of the substitute head for a while, his mind was empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Looking at the busy crowd, an inexplicable loneliness suddenly welled up in his heart. It seems that he has never belonged here, and everything is just his own passion and nosy.

This kind of emotion has been accumulating for a long time, and Zhao Rang just wants to leave, so he silently walked away from the side of the crowd and walked towards his courtyard.

Halfway through, I saw a familiar figure appear in front of the road.

Zhao Rang stopped and saw that the person who came was Qingqing.

"How did you get out? What about the two girls? ”

Zhao Rang asked.

Qingqing did not answer Zhao Rang's question, but asked eagerly:

"Are you alright?"

Zhao Rang shook his head, then smiled and pointed to his black steel knife and said:

"It's this old guy who almost curls his blade!"

Immediately, he explained to Qingqing in detail what had just happened in the Daozang Pavilion.

"I didn't expect it to be like this......"

Qingqing also fell silent.

He couldn't have imagined that the person who was hiding behind the scenes on Baihe Mountain was actually the acting head of the sect who looked polite and was loved by his disciples.

"So, I don't know my heart. Even his senior brother Bai Hezi misjudged this person, let alone an outsider like us who has only been on the mountain for a few days. ”

Qingqing nodded, agreeing with what Zhao Rang said.

"What about the two girls?"

Zhao Rang asked again.

One of the senior sisters was also poisoned, and Zhao Rang has always been very concerned about her situation.

Qingqing saw that Zhao Rang was fine, and she also relieved herself and replied:

"Just now, a Taoist elder came, saying that he had taken them both away on the order of his uncle and ancestor, saying that he was going to take them to the Nine Heavens."

"That's good. Since Uncle Shi has made a move, the incident on Baihe Mountain is over. As for the follow-up, that's not something we can control. I'm also worthy of the white crane's request. ”

Zhao Rang said meaningfully.

thought it was an extremely simple matter, but he didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns hidden in the end.

If Shi Shuzu hadn't made a move in the end, Zhao Rang's head would have been no different from a watermelon that fell to the ground.

At this time, thinking of the generous iron plate in charge of the sect, Zhao Rang still had some palpitations.

"Have you ever seen someone with so much strength?"

The Investigation Division has recruited talents from all over the world, especially on the first floor, and there are a lot of strangers.

But with Qingqing's well-informed, he still shook his head, saying that he hadn't seen it.

Not to mention that people with such great strength are rare in the world, even the kind of blade used by the substitute master is unheard of......

seems to be a person who has no martial arts cultivation at all, and only relies on brute force to fight fiercely.

"The people in the world who specialize in cultivating external forces are all the monks of the Eight Kings Temple, haven't you seen that master in the first floor?"

Qingqing said.

Zhao Rang looked at the undulating mountains in front of him and said:

"I guess that even that master doesn't have that much strength."

Although the acting head of the sect has died, the shock left to Zhao Rang is far more than that.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Qingqing as if he wanted to speak and stopped, and Zhao Rang opened his mouth and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Qingqing thought for a while and said:

"I'm going back to the first floor."

Zhao Rang was dumbfounded.

According to the original plan, Qingqing should go up and down the mountain with him, and then go to the river.

Why was she suddenly leaving and going back to the first floor when she was only halfway done?

"What happened on Baihe Mountain, I have to go back and report it in person."

This reason was enough to convince Zhao Rang.

Even if he is now working for the first floor of the Investigation Division, relatively speaking, he is not a member of the Investigation Division after all. He has no right to interfere with what Qingqing wants to do.

It's just that the previous feeling of loneliness has fermented more strongly in his heart.

On Baihe Mountain, he was an outsider, and now he is also an outsider to the Investigation Division and the First Floor.

Neither of these places gave him any sense of belonging, and he was a little confused about what he was doing this for.

Think of it as a friend.

Even though he didn't know if he and White Crane were friends.

But thinking about it this way can make him feel more comfortable.

After all, Zhao Rang is a person who went to the Western Regions and went to the river for his friends.

In comparison, if you put aside the accident of being in charge of teaching, it is already a very simple matter to go to Baihe Mountain.

"Good. When are you leaving? I'll send you! ”

Zhao Rang said.

Qingqing suddenly looked at Zhao Rang with big eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Qingqing smiled and said:

"In the past, when I was in Ivy Garden, I sent you away, but you would refuse every time, as if someone sent you was a change of direction to admit that you were drunk. But you just said you were going to send me. ”

Zhao Rang couldn't understand the deeper meaning of Qingqing's words, so he asked:

"Isn't it normal for me to send you? You're going back to the first floor, but I'm still going to the river. ”

It means that your matter has come to an end for the time being, but my road is still moving forward, not to mention that he is a man, Qingqing is a girl, and it is natural to give it away.

"It's nothing, it's just fun."

Qingqing knew that a man's brain was sometimes no different from wood. They had to be torn apart and crumpled before they could understand.

But if that's the case, wouldn't it be a lot of fun? Therefore, Qingqing would rather end this conversation in a hurry than explain it clearly to Zhao Rang.

It's not a big deal anyway, it's just the feeling of that moment.

I missed it, I didn't understand it, so that's it.

If you explain it again, it will seem verbose and cumbersome.

"Oh, okay."

Zhao Rangmu said.

"Where are you going to send me?"

Qingqing asked.

Zhao Rang thought for a while and said:

"At least I'll send you down, right? After all, I'm still going to the river. ”

Qingqing's face changed suddenly, and she said coldly:

"Then you still don't send it, I will walk the way down the mountain myself, you can go directly to the river, and save time."

Zhao Rang was completely confused......

In the end, this pioneer in the amorous field is still inexperienced, and the contact is with girls who need to spend money.

As long as you have enough money, even if you say that the moon is square, they will nod their heads in agreement without exception.

The experience accumulated from these girls alone, once used in life, can only be blinded.

Just like Zhao Rang didn't know what he was talking about at the moment, why did Qingqing suddenly turn his face?

I obviously didn't say anything wrong.

The mountain roads are rugged, not to mention that there may be lurking in the shadows the henchmen who have fled on behalf of the sect, so it is not safe.

When two people go down the mountain together, they can also take care of each other.

After going down the mountain, on the pipeline, there are post stations and pedestrians all the way, Qingqing is a person in the investigation department, presumably those people are not fools, and they will not suddenly attack her in public.

After thinking about it so carefully, Zhao Rang felt more and more that there was no problem with what he just said.

Looking further, Qingqing shook his hand and walked out a long way in a puff.

Zhao Rang hurriedly caught up, held her shoulder, and asked:

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with sending you down the mountain? ”

Qingqing actually couldn't say anything, or felt that there was no need to explain to Zhao Rang, so she said perfunctorily:

"You can send it if you want. Anyway, your legs and feet are all on you, and it's your freedom to go wherever you go, and I don't have the ability or the right to order you! ”

Zhao Rang listened to her sour words, and also reflected that Qingqing should be dissatisfied with only sending him down the mountain, so he said:

"And how far do you want me to send you? Will it take you all the way back to the first floor? ”

Qingqing suddenly stood still, her eyes widened, she glared at Zhao Rang, and said word by word:

"Your mind is full of sends, sends, sends, sends, sends, sends, I wish I had left earlier, and I wouldn't have to pretend here! ”

Qingqing was already a little angry, but with such a shout, Zhao Rang heard what the root of the contradiction was.

"I've read a book, a martial arts, and the protagonist in it said something similar to yours."

Qingqing was silent, but she was clearly interested.

"Forget it, if you don't want to hear it, then I won't talk about it."

"Who says I don't want to hear it? What did the man say? ”

Zhao Rang retreated like this, but let him regain the initiative.

"The man said to one of his friends who was leaving, 'Maybe I won't send you off the day you leave, but as long as you come back, no matter how windy it is and how heavy it rains, I will definitely go back to pick you up!' ”

After Zhao Rang finished speaking, he secretly observed Qingqing's expression, and saw that she was slightly moved, so he struck while the iron was hot and said:

"Isn't it similar to what you're trying to say?"

Even if she already thinks so in her heart, Qingqing will not admit it.

"It's a little bit like that."

"But the person who can say this must be a rare good friend! Did you see it in that book? ”

Zhao Rang didn't tell her the title of the book directly, but sold it and said:

"When I come back from the river, I'll give you a copy when the time comes."

"Okay."

"That ......"

Zhao Rang dragged a long note.

"Then when I come back from the river, will you pick me up?"

Zhao Rang asked.

Qingqing was no longer angry, and said with a smile:

"Hopefully it won't be windy or rainy that day."

Zhao Rang asked in surprise:

"What does that mean?"

Qingqing playfully said:

"It means that as long as it's not windy or rainy, I'll pick you up. After all, our relationship is not as good as it is written in the book! ”

Zhao Rang said with a wry smile:

"It's extreme, it seems that I, a person who never believes in ghosts and gods, went to the river this time to worship the Dragon King Temple!"

Qingqing asked rhetorically:

"What are you doing at the Dragon King Temple?"

Zhao Rang folded his hands in front of his chest and said with a reverent face:

"Let the Dragon Lord bless me with no wind or rain on the day I go back, preferably the sky is clear and cloudless!"

Qingqing was amused by Zhao Rang and laughed out loud, and said:

"Then you have to say goodbye, sincerity is spirituality, don't think that the Dragon Lord is fooling him, specifically the opposite of what you hope, that's bad!"

After a pause, Qingqing continued:

"Actually, it's okay if it's windy or rainy, in that case, I'll set up a table for you in the Ivy Garden, and call the most beautiful girls to drink with you, and I'll catch you the wind!"

There are many kinds of pick-ups.

Under the city gates, at the gates of the houses, in the streets and alleys, it counts.

In the Ivy Garden, on the first floor, in the Mingyue Building, set up a table of wine and food, and call three or five people to accompany you, which is also counted.

For such a beautiful thing, of course, Zhao Rang had no reason to refuse, so he happily agreed.

"Then you must come back early and come back safely!"

Qingqing said seriously.

Somehow, when Zhao Rang saw Qingqing with such an expression, he didn't feel happy at all, but an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

It's like a person walking on a dark road, even if he has walked this road countless times, even if this road can come to an end with his eyes closed.

This unwarranted worry made Zhao Rang very uncomfortable, and he didn't like the feeling of not being under his control.

"What's wrong with you?"

Qingqing saw that Zhao Rang's face was different, and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly don't look like you."

"So what should I look like?"

"It should be ......"

Zhao Rang tilted his head and thought about it, and said with a smile:

"The way it looks!"

"you!"

Qingqing was about to hit Zhao Rang, but he grabbed his wrist, and then said very seriously:

"Be sure to wait until I get back!"

"Good!"

After getting Qingqing's assurance, Zhao Rang let go of her wrist and said with a smile:

"Let's go, I'll send you down the mountain!"

The two walked side by side on the mountain road, neither of them speaking again.

It wasn't until he came to a three-way intersection that Qingqing stopped and said to Zhao Rang:

"Just get it here, the road I'm going to take is not in front of me."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Rang saw two small figures coming out of the woods next to the fork in the road.

One wears a red jacket and the other wears a blue jacket.

When the red-clothed child saw Zhao Rang, he immediately pointed at him and said loudly:

"I went down the mountain without a sound, and I didn't have enough friends at all!"

Zhao Rang didn't care, and said with a smile:

"If you're a friend, you have to drink a lot."

The child in red said depressedly:

"But we haven't known each other long enough."

Zhao Rang shook his head and said:

"It's not the long-lasting, it's the regular, the wine that drinks. When you can drink with me a lot, we'll be real friends! ”

The child in red wanted to say something, but was stopped by the child in blue.

He handed Zhao Rang a burden and said:

"This is what Uncle Shi asked me to give you, saying that they are all things that you can use."

After Zhao Rang took it, he opened the baggage and looked at it, and sure enough, there were some bottles and cans and a few martial arts cheats. In addition to this, there is a title deed and a stack of silver tickets.

"Okay, the things are delivered, and we're gone. In the future, we will follow our uncle and ancestor to practice in the Nine Heavens, and I wish you a safe journey! ”

After the blue-clothed child finished speaking, he bowed to Zhao Rang and immediately walked towards the mountain without any delay.

The red-clothed child looked at the breeze blowing among the trees, looked at Zhao Rang's back, and muttered:

"I don't know if it's going to be leaves or snow when we say goodbye."
