When Chu Yuanxiao went to the township school in the town, he inexplicably felt that this simple and simple town school seemed to be the same as the Wufang Pavilion in the center of the town, it looked the same, but it seemed to be different.

However, for the current teenager, it no longer seems as difficult to lift his feet to cross the threshold that used to seem a little high.

At the beginning, the day when the girl in red pushed him into the gate of the village school, he was in a study in this courtyard, bowed three times and bowed to Mr. three times, and brought out a thousand-character text, and from that day on, it seemed that some things had quietly become different.

Today's village school is another day of rest, and many of the school-age teenagers in the town were taken away from the town three days ago and that night, so the number of students who came to study here in the next two days was not too large.

Hou Junchen said that before leaving, Yasheng had sent a little spiritual light to the ordinary people in the town before leaving, which was of no other use, without exception, it sealed their respective cognitions and memories of certain things, and this time the spell also included the four contemporary family masters who had known a lot of things in the four surnames of the town.

So even though Chen Ji, the sister-in-law of the Chen family next door to the township school, and Liu Qingqiu, the eldest daughter of the Liu family on Qingshui Street, have all left the town, including the heads of the Chen and Liu families, the people of the town only remember that a group of teenagers left here to study in a foreign country, but where they really went, no one remembers clearly, but some of the miraculous things are that no one seems to have felt strange about it.

Everyone in the world has their own life to live, except for those parents who have been taken away from their children will have more concern in their hearts, other people will become accustomed to these strange things that are obviously everywhere after ten days and half a month...

All beings in the world have always been forgetful.

But when it comes to this matter, I have to mention a few other related things.

Liu Qingqiu, the eldest daughter in white with a light personality in the Liu family in the town, when she was in the town before, in addition to going out to study at the Taoli Street Township School, she basically stayed in the mansion of the Liu family on Qingshui Street all the time, rarely went out, and rarely intersected with outsiders, Chu Yuanxiao had heard Hou Junchen mention it once, saying that the eldest daughter of the Liu family was extremely talented, and she was in the first gear among her peers in the town, if nothing else, she would inevitably be taken back to Shijizhou by the Longquan Sword Sect standing behind the Liu family, and become a disciple of the inner sect of the Sword Sect. Maybe when the rivers and lakes meet again in the future, she is likely to be the next Xihe Sword Sect Night Rain Sword Immortal, or the Blue Lotus Sword Sect Moon Shadow Sword Immortal.

But after the Spring Equinox Night War, I heard that it seemed that Liu Qingqiu, who was supposed to go to the Longquan Sword Sect in Shijizhou, finally followed the Fengquan Sect of the fourth rank to Longchizhou and became a disciple of the second sect of the Longquan Sword Sect.

Although the Fengquan Sect, as the second semicolon of the Longquan Sword Sect, is nominally also under the command of the Longquan Sword Sect, but after all, there is one word missing from the name of the immortal family, and the mountain gate is opened in Longchi Continent, which is separated from the Longquan of the main sect by a sea spanning more than 100,000 miles, so it is obvious that this arrangement is actually somewhat similar to the saying of "moving left" in the court official system.

Another thing is about Zhu Zhen, the sister-in-law of another family with the surname Zhu.

Now it seems that Zhu Jiantang, the head of the Zhu family, will have the choice of the trip to Shuixiu Lake, which cannot but be said to be a precautionary foresight, some of the predictions of the head of the Zhu family in the battle on the night of the spring equinox are basically equivalent to getting a definitive verification, the Yanguan Great Array is broken, the Jiazi covenant is over, and the four surnames in the town have all lost the protection of the four major sword sects, so whether the four surnames can still be the four major surnames in the future depends on their own abilities.

In addition, although in the matter of Shuixiu Lake, the head of the Zhu family did not seem to be wise, but because of this, he succeeded in the latter game, and on the day when Su Sanzai went to the Zhu family to reason, the little fat man Zhu Zhen had already entered the door of the Fan shopkeeper in the cloud sea in the west of the town.

It stands to reason that although the old shopkeeper Fan himself is also a top-level existence among the hundred schools of thought, he has been opening a shop in the town for many years, and he is actually not among the kind of people who are not allowed to stay in the town as Yasheng said, but for some reason, this ancestor of the merchant family also chose to leave with other outsiders that night, of course, with the little fat man of the Zhu family.

Before leaving, the round-faced and wealthy old shopkeeper also asked someone to bring a message to Chu Yuanxiao, saying that half of the family background of the Han Ji Restaurant in the center of the town had not been assigned to the account of Yunhaijian, but after Yasheng sealed the memories of each part of the townspeople, this account may not be easy to collect, let the young man see what to do, as for the account of the Yunlin Sect in Shijizhou, there is no need for that Mr. Su to come forward again, and he Fan Shopkeeper will personally be responsible for helping to recover it, and then it will be recorded in the account of a branch of the sea of clouds in Shijizhou, and the sea of clouds in the world is a family. If there is a place to use money in the future of Chu Lantern Festival, you can go directly to the account of Yunhai in the town to withdraw it, and you don't have to worry about it!

Hou Junchen also said that the reason why the old shopkeeper had this move was also made clear in the words that even if it was to repay a favor for his newly accepted apprentice, it was another favor in addition to the debt collected by Su Sanzai, which was probably equivalent to making up for the three words used to apologize.

In addition to the above-mentioned people, this remote town also walked a lot of familiar faces, including the storyteller Mr. Lu, including the blacksmith Ganquan, and some other foreign monks who had settled in the town for a long time, most of these people left quietly, without greeting anyone, and naturally disappeared from the field of vision of the people in the town, especially the storyteller Mr. Lu, who didn't even leave a chance to thank the young man Chu Yuanxiao and him, and disappeared without a trace, without saying where to go, Nor did he leave a word.

As for the new faces who came after the town opened, such as the white-clothed girl Li Yuyao from the Xihe Sword Sect, and the red-clothed girl Jiang Shenyu from the Jiang clan in Nanxizhou, and the white-paper folding fan boy from the Yuanjia Sword Sect, they had all left this place in advance, as if they had made an appointment, and each left only four words: goodbye to the rivers and lakes.

Up to now, in addition to the four sages who have not yet left, the immortal monks in the town who are responsible for cultivation seem to be the only one left with the sloppy man Hou Junchen, and the young man walked all the way from the town entrance to the township school, and suddenly felt that the northwest town that had survived the catastrophe seemed to suddenly become empty and deserted overnight.

……

When the boy found Mr. Cui, the green-shirted Confucian seemed to have returned to the quiet and tranquil state that the small town tutor was accustomed to.

The young man knocked on the door of the house outside the study in the backyard, and when he was allowed to enter the house, he saw the gentleman sitting behind the bookcase in the house, holding a book of Confucian sages in his hand.

When the boy saw this, he turned around and gently closed the door of the house, and bowed quietly but did not speak, so as not to disturb the gentleman's study.

The green-shirted Confucian did not let the young man wait for a long time, only put down the book in his hand for a moment, and then raised his head to look at the student he had not long recognized, and looked at it carefully, his face was not good, he was a little relieved, but also a little worried.

The boy bent down deeper and whispered, "Hello sir." ”

The middle-aged tutor nodded with a smile, raised his hand and motioned for the young man to come over and sit on the futon opposite his desk, and then said, "How do you feel when you wake up?" Hou Shaofu should have told you something, right? ”

This is the first time in the memory of a teenager that I heard Mr. Cui call that sloppy man with the word "Shaofu", and he seemed to call him Mr. Hou mostly in the past.

The so-called "Shaofu" naturally refers to the identity of the young master of the Shenhou Mansion who I heard that it seems to be gone, which makes the young man who heard this title a little gloomy, because after listening to the sloppy man's words, before he went out to leave his yard and came to the village school, the sloppy man who was still lying on the bamboo chair and swaying was also lazily saying goodbye to him behind him.

"Chu Yuanxiao, after this trip, my mission in this town has come to an end for the time being, it may be today, it may be two days, I will also leave here to do some things outside, maybe I will come back in the future, maybe... I won't come back, I won't come to say hello to you before leaving, even if the two of us officially say goodbye today, we will see you again if we have a fate in the future, if there is no fate... Say goodbye. ”

The young man's hand that was about to open the door paused slightly at the moment he heard this, he didn't dare to look back, he just waved his hand at the man with his back to him, and went out without saying a word.

Some said goodbye and didn't know what to say, so I chose not to say anything and keep it... Next time.

……

Seeing that the young man was a little stunned and didn't answer his question immediately, it was not surprising, as a gentleman, he could probably guess what he was thinking, and after being silent for a while, he slowly explained for the sloppy man, "Hou Shaofu has some old things that have been pressed in his heart, and he has been unable to get rid of it for many years, and the battle between him and that Yunlin Sect Jiang a few days ago should have played some new old stories, so he needs to find someone to look through some old account books, you can't help this matter for the time being, If you have the opportunity in the future, maybe you can meet again, and at that time, some of your thoughts may be able to be mentioned. ”

The young man nodded when he heard this, Hou Junchen didn't mention too much of his own affairs to him, so the young man didn't know much, and Mr. was right, he really can't help him now...

Seeing that the young man's expression had calmed down slightly, the teacher moved his lips but did not speak directly with some hesitation, until the young man came back to his senses and looked at him, he apologized: "Although there are some words to say at this moment, it may not be the right time, but it may not be too long..."

There was a rare pause in the middle of his words, because he had already seen the completely lost face of the young man opposite.

It's just that since what should be said has begun, we still have to continue, "Mr. may have to leave in a few days, this time the big array was broken, we are more or less responsible, it is estimated that the accountability of the Middle Earth side should already be on the way, and then we will probably be the ones who will be punished, and go to the border cities of the four sides of the sea in Jiuzhou to serve, and there may not be a chance to set foot on the land of Jiuzhou again for many years in the future, so Mr. wants to say sorry to you, although I accepted you into my door, But there are not many opportunities to teach you something, and now between you and me, we may have to say goodbye. ”

Although Chu Yuanxiao vaguely expected this result, he was still a little difficult to accept when he heard Mr. Cui say it so truthfully at this moment, especially when it came to the statement of the "person who treats crimes", didn't he remember that the old monkey had said that it was the Confucian Yasheng who was personally present and personally allowed the Demon Venerable Sword Spirit to leave?

The boy thought so in his heart, so naturally he asked.

Hearing this, the master smiled and patiently explained: "After the Demon Venerable Sword broke the formation, it was indeed our Yasheng who personally came to the scene to finish it, but it was after the formation was broken, and it couldn't cover up some of the problems before the formation was broken, it was an indisputable fact that the big array was broken, no matter what the reason was, it couldn't explain this fault, at least... I can't explain it now, so it's not wrong for the Linyuan Academy Palace to say that we are all people who treat crimes. ”

After that, the Confucian saw that there was still a lot of unconvincing on the young man's face, and his heart was warm, but he still laughed softly: "Sometimes, it is very easy for many people to evaluate others, saying that others are not good, or even saying that others are wrong, in fact, they are very simple, and they can do it with a sentence or a pen, and everyone does not have the time and energy to wait patiently for an explanation from you, which is human nature, you have to understand." ”

After that, he looked up at the neatly stacked bookshelves and books in the room, and then looked at the young man and continued: "On the other hand, there are many things, and we have no way to prove that we must be right, or to prove that we must be better than others, maybe there are some things, time will give you the answer, but it may also be that you can't wait for this answer for the rest of your life, so you have to understand some of the practices and decisions of others." ”

He looked at the boy with a smile and asked, "Do you understand?" ”

The young man listened to the two opposite paragraphs of the gentleman, and nodded hesitantly, few people would reason with him like this before, so he never thought that some things that were clearly on the surface would have such a contrary explanation.

The Confucian saw the young man's hesitation in his eyes, and he was not angry, and smiled gently: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, when you meet more people and things you encounter in the future, you will naturally understand, and maybe you will have some different views from Mr., that's all good, all good." ”

The young man was silent for a long time, then got up from the futon and thanked Mr. Cui seriously: "Thank you, sir." ”

The teacher nodded with a smile, waved his hand and said: "Actually, you don't have to be so polite, although we scholars love to talk about rules and reason, but we don't have to be so polite in everything from time to time. ”

The young man, who was still struggling, looked up at Mr. when he heard this, and suddenly grinned, "Got it, sir." ”

Seeing that the young man was as good as a stream, the smile on his face also had a little more meaning, so he also smiled, which is very good.

Chu Yuanxiao then sat back on the futon, and after looking at the study again, he asked on a whim and with some hesitation: "Sir, if you really want to leave here and go to the border city, can I come with you?" ”

He blinked suddenly, "I haven't set foot on the path of cultivation yet, can I learn more from you?" ”

The master listened to the young man's sudden change of tone, knowing what he was thinking, but he didn't break it, but just smiled warmly: "It's naturally okay to follow me to learn, but in fact, this is not very good for you, you want to be a three-path practitioner is an unprecedented choice, and I can teach you only one way to cultivate God, then the other two roads have to rely on yourself to meet the master, if you go to the border city with me, it will be difficult for you to find such an opportunity again, in the long run, this is not a good thing, it is not good for you." ”

Chu Yuanxiao was a little regretful, but she didn't refute it, and she knew in her heart that what Mr. said was right, it was for his good, and there was no reason not to appreciate it... But if everybody leaves... He's like... It's just one person again...

Before the young man finished feeling sad, he heard that Mr. suddenly said a little solemnly: "Hou Shaofu should have told you, the fist fight between you and Namo Qianqiu that night, although it is of practical significance for you to finally seal him in the Wufang Pavilion for a short time, and to rescue the people of the town at the cost of the Yanguan Great Array, etc., but this choice has also really broken your martial arts body, even if Yasheng later helped you repair the external injury, but it is still a symptom rather than a cure, so the first problem you have to solve next should be this matter." ”

Chu Yuanxiao nodded, this matter is indeed a headache, because the matter of Shui Yun's severed head has not been resolved, and the serious physical injury has become even worse, according to the estimation of Hou Junchen, the martial saint of the Ten Realms, if the severed head of the Great Dao can still allow him to live to the age of thirty, then after this battle, his remaining lifespan will definitely not exceed ten years!

Although ten years sounds like a long time, the problem is that he is not facing a problem, if he seeks a solution to the problem of martial arts body within ten years, he will definitely not have the time and opportunity to cross the hurdle of thirty years old at that time, and then it will still be a certain death!

So, for today's thirteen-year-olds, time is the most important thing...

"In addition..."The green-shirted Confucian looked at the young man and reminded: "You asked those questions to the ghost marquis of the capital on the night of the spring equinox, although you can't believe all of his words, but you can't disbelieve them all, we still haven't found the sight that stares at you in the dark, where did it come from?" So when you go out in the future, you must always pay attention to this problem, before Yasheng sent a message from Middle Earth, and later gave you the jade plate, which is not only a Sumeru object, but also has some functions that can cover up your identity and breath, but you still have to be more cautious, it is best not to mention your real name in front of outsiders, it is best to take another pseudonym to show people, and get used to being incognito and low-key. ”

The young man listened to his husband's instructions, and nodded solemnly, after all, no one knew who those people who were staring at him were, what their purpose was, and what they could do, whether he would be discovered as soon as he left the town... This is all unknown, as if there is a sharp sword hanging above his head all the time, and he may suddenly fall down at any time, directly stringing him into a blood gourd!

He had sworn that there were some questions to ask some people, and if he couldn't even save his own life now, then what else was there to talk about? Revenge for a fart again?

At this point, the atmosphere between the master and apprentice was a little solemn, and the young man's throat was dry, so he coughed dryly and looked at the gentleman and said softly: "Sir, do you know who has a method to repair the physical body?" The old monkey said that I need to hurry up, otherwise if I delay too long, it will be too late for the three path initiates. ”

The Confucian man in the green shirt did not procrastinate when he heard this, first nodded, then shook his head, and said solemnly: "Hou Shaofu is right, but I, like him, although I do know that there is such a person who may have a way, but this way can't go from us, you have to find another person." ”

The young man is smart, almost a little thorough, "Lu Daochang? ”

When the Confucian scholar heard this, he smiled appreciatively, nodded and smiled: "Daoist Lu came to me to briefly mention this matter not long before you came here, he is the Great Heavenly Master of the Daomen Heavenly Master's Mansion, and he is a master of thunder and law, and he has also had some intersections with the person mentioned earlier because of his housekeeping skills, so if you want to find that help, it is best to go to the Beiling Temple after you go out from here and see what Daoist Lu thinks of for you!" ”

"In addition, we have another task to be handed over to you to complete before we leave here, and these things will also be handed over to you by Lu Daochang, so I won't say much here, sir..."

Confucian Cui Jue didn't say exactly what the task was, but simply mentioned it, and then staggered the topic, only to see him slowly pick up the book that the young man was holding in his hand when he entered the door, as well as the paperweight that had been used as a token of the Confucian clan of the Yanguan Great Array, and handed it to the young man, and said: "It may not be too long, we will also leave this Yanguan Town, so Mr. is also here to say goodbye to you in advance, I hope you will go out in the future, take a look at things and think more, don't be reckless and impulsive, Also, remember to read well. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled and said, "See you next time, Mr. is going to test your studies, if you don't study well, don't blame Mr.'s ring ruler for beating people's hands." ”

The young man looked at the smile on his face, and felt a little sad, but in the end he slowly got up, seriously bent down and saluted him, and said softly: "Farewell to Mr. ”
