Chapter 179: Déjà vu Yan returns
The Xuanji hermit has been in the Central Plains for many years, although he has already found the Qiankun Sword, but he has never found any trace of the dragon's blood stone, and at this time he did not know that Yuxi had already obtained the dragon's blood stone by accident, so he has been wandering on the rivers and lakes.
Recently, he went to the capital and sat in a restaurant.
The Xuanji hermit called the shopkeeper to come over and casually ordered two drinks and dishes to fill his stomach.
When the wine and food were served, the Xuanji hermit picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of cooked beef in his mouth to taste, and took the wine glass to his mouth.
At this time, he found that the guest sitting next to him was whispering: "Listening to the discussion of the ministers of the court, General Murong has led an army of 200,000 to the Western Regions to support General Huyan's father and son in the border city. ”
"Yes, I also heard that General Gartnu of the Capricorn Kingdom who invaded the Western Regions this time is very evil, saying that there is some evil spirit to protect him, and he is almost invincible, and this time General Huyan's father and son are miserable. ”
"Otherwise, how could General Murong personally lead the troops to the rescue? ”
"I said yes, that Gartnu is so evil, and he can also summon skeleton soldiers and fire-breathing dragons to help, I think this time it is a bit mysterious, I don't know if General Murong is sure to win. ”
"Alas, I also heard that General Murong also brought his youngest daughter Yuxi with him. ”
"What little daughter Yuxi, what is she going to do? An eldest lady went to fight with her father, is she Mulan!"
"You don't know, this Murong Yuxi is not only beautiful, but also likes Huyan Ruiqi, it is said that she has some martial arts, but she doesn't know if she is powerful. ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. When the Xuanji hermit heard the news that General Murong had gone on an expedition to the Western Regions to support Huyan's father and son, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and Yuxi actually went to help in the battle together, which was unexpected by the Xuanji hermit.
"Yuxi also went, why did she go with her, was it for Ruiqi?"
The Xuanji hermit took a sip of the liquor in the cup, pondering in his mind.
"Then what kind of character is this Gart Nu of Capricorn Country, who dares to invade the territory of the Western Regions, and besieges Huyan father and son in the border city area, it seems that he is not a guy who can be taken lightly, and he is actually protected by evil spirits, which seems to be very good. ”
The Xuanji hermit was silent, and did not continue to inquire about the whereabouts of the matter from the guests sitting next to him, but drank alone and considered the next step.
Now that he knows Yuxi's whereabouts, and he has been wandering around the Central Plains all these years, and he hasn't even returned to Yuxu Mountain to visit Yuxi, he is inevitably a little anxious in his heart.
"Yuxi left Yuxu Mountain and went to the Western Regions with his father, what happened to Yuxi now, will it be dangerous for her to go to the Western Regions? I don't know how her skills are now, and whether she can afford to eat there. ”
The Xuanji hermit chewed the beef carefully, wondering if Yuxi had thoroughly explored all the exercises he had taught him in the past ten years, and what his current skills were.
But he knew that Yuxi was by no means comparable to an ordinary little girl, she was born with profound qualifications, and she had an extraordinary memory and comprehension, if she cultivated alone, it shouldn't be a problem.
The hermit of Xuanji understood that Yuxi had the protection of the heavens and had a mission, so for more than ten years, he patronized the search for the whereabouts of the Qiankun Sword and the Dragon's Blood Stone in the Central Plains, completely ignoring Yuxi's life.
He also thought that Yuxi lived in the Yasukuni General's Mansion, and for her safety, she would not let others know the secret of Yuxi's life, so the Xuanji hermit had to let go of Yuxi and let her live alone in the General's Mansion.
As for many top-notch masters, when Yuxi was a little white snake, Xuanji Hermit had already explained it to her, although she had only seen these things like swallowing dates at that time, but as long as she was reborn as a human, she could have the opportunity and conditions to refine these spells.
Therefore, Xuanji Hermit doesn't have to worry that Yuxi won't be able to figure out these things at all, as long as she practices diligently, she can figure out the problem thoroughly.
Xuanji Hermit remembered that when he left Xiao Yuxi, when he looked at Xiao Yuxi with a sweet smile in the arms of his wet nurse, his mood was actually quite sour and contradictory.
"I know that Xiao Yuxi can recognize me and know that I am her master, so she will try to look at me and smile, this little guy is so cute, I am really a little reluctant. ”
"But I have to go, I have to leave Yuxi, after all, she is now reborn as a human, in such a general's mansion, if others know that I am her master, what will they think? This is too dangerous, I can only leave Yuxu Mountain to keep Yuxi living in peace." ”
The Xuanji hermit remembered Xiao Yuxi's tender little face and sweet smile at that time, and a tear couldn't help but overflow from the corner of his eye.
He secretly glanced around, but fortunately no one paid attention to him, in the eyes of others, he was just a dusty Taoist priest, and he generally did not attract the attention of others.
The Xuanji hermit lifted the corners of his sleeves and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then sighed and continued to drink the sullen wine.
"Yuxi won't be in danger, she's gone to the Western Regions now, where there is a war, does she want to help? It seems that she must be going to help them with the Huyan Ruiqi they are talking about. In this way, Yuxi must like Huyan Ruiqi, so is this Ruiqi the heir of the Book of Heaven? ”
"If Huyan Ruiqi is the person Yuxi is looking for, then the opportunity cannot be missed. It took Yuxi so long to find him, and she must be right. Everything is destined by God, and if Yuxi obeys the will of heaven, she should not be mistaken. ”
The Xuanji hermit drank wine and ate food, guessing that more than ten years had passed, and Yuxi should have grown into a big girl by now, she must be a girl with a graceful and beautiful appearance.
He knew that when Yuxi was a little white snake, she was a very cute little Lori, she spoke delicately and in a childish tone, if others didn't know, she thought it was a little girl talking.
"She should be very beautiful now, there is a way to have a family and a hundred women, as for Yuxi to fall in love with Huyan Ruiqi, there must be a reason. Then this Ruich may not be easy, otherwise Yuxi would not have taken a fancy to him. ”
"But they are in danger now, I can't sit idly by, why don't I also go to the Western Regions to help Yuxi. ”
"I don't know if Yuxi still recognizes me after all these years, and when she left her, Yuxi was still a child. ”
The Xuanji hermit made up his mind and decided to go to the Western Regions on the same day to help Yuxi. He was worried that Yu Xi would encounter danger in the Western Regions alone, after all, it was a test of blood and fire on the battlefield, and even if Yu Xi had a special skill, he would inevitably be unexpectedly injured.
The war in the Western Regions was tense, and the Xuanji hermit didn't have time to return to Yuxu Mountain to pause, so he bought a good horse in the capital, prepared some dry food and clothing, and planned to set off for the Western Regions immediately.
The Xuanji hermit traveled all the way west, sleeping in the open air, and inquired about the battle situation in the Western Regions along the way.
When he learned that Huyan's father and son were besieged in the main city, his heart tightened. He was also worried when he learned that the army led by General Gartnu of Capricorn had wantonly burned, killed and plundered, and that life had been ruined wherever it passed.
When he approached the boundary of the Western Regions, he heard the people on the road say that General Murong had arrived at the main city and had joined forces with General Huyan to win a battle, and his worries were relieved a little.
"Now Yuxi should be fine, since the battle has been won, then the siege should be lifted, so I am a lot more relieved. But Yuxi must not participate in the war, it will not be conducive to her protecting her identity, and it is even dangerous. Although she has a special skill, fighting is a different matter. What's more, if you have to face an opponent like Gartnu, it's not something Yuxi can deal with. ”
Along the way, Xuanji Hermit's mood went up and down, and if he couldn't see Yuxi safe, his nervous mood couldn't settle down. As long as Yuxi is safe, the Xuanji hermit feels comforted.
He only has this one apprentice, and the Xuanji hermit doesn't want Yuxi to encounter any trouble, although he believes that Yuxi can solve some troubles with wisdom, but fighting is still too tender for Yuxi.
The Xuanji hermit rode a fast horse and went straight to the Western Regions, entering the boundary of the Western Regions, which was obviously much more desolate than the Central Plains, full of wilderness and mountains, and uninhabited.
He could only rely on the mountain people he met along the way to guide the way, and went straight to the border city.
As he traveled all the way, a few days later he saw a castle, and in the distance, he could see the banner waving in the wind on the city wall.
The Xuanji hermit knew that he was almost at his destination, and in front of him must be the main city of the Western Regions, where perhaps Yuxi was talking to Ruiqi!
Looking at the situation in this vicinity, it should have experienced a war not long ago, and even the air has a smell of burning, and the houses in the remote places in the distance are in tatters, as if they have experienced a catastrophe.
Xuanji Hermit's mood immediately sank, this is the battlefield, I really don't know what the situation will be in the future, and how he will help Yuxi.
Entering the city gate, the Xuanji hermit stepped off his horse and led the reins into the city.
Along the way, he inquired about General Murong's residence and planned to meet Yuxi.
At this time, Xuanji Hermit's heart was uneasy, what kind of excuse should he use to see Yu Xi, whether Yu Xi still recognized him, would he not recognize him as a master? After all, they hadn't met for more than ten years.
And what kind of way of meeting is this? Xuanji hermit hesitated in his heart, hesitating whether to see Yuxi again in a few days, so that he could be mentally prepared.
Soon arrived in front of General Murong's residence, and a soldier blocked the way: "Dao Chief, who are you looking for?"
The Xuanji hermit hesitated a little, but after hesitating for a moment, he said: "I am from the Central Plains, an old friend of General Murong, I want to see Miss Yuxi, and I have something to say to her." ”
The soldier looked left and right at the Xuanji hermit, and saw that he was dressed in an old Taoist robe, with a bun on his head, a long beard, and a bag on his back, looking like a Taoist priest, but he couldn't tell how old he was from his face alone.
Listening to this Taoist priest, the soldier recognized that the Xuanji hermit was from the Central Plains, but what would happen if he was looking for Miss Yuxi?
The soldier hesitated for a moment, then decided to go in first and tell Yuxi to speak.
After a while, Yuxi hurriedly ran out and saw the Xuanji hermit standing in front of the door.
She recognized the master at a glance, and her face immediately showed a look of surprise, although she hadn't seen the master for more than ten years, the appearance of the Xuanji hermit hadn't changed at all, and it was still the same as when she left her, with a long beard fluttering, and the appearance of a fairy wind and bones.
"Oh my God, master, it's master, how did you find here?" Yuxi stretched out her hand to cover her small mouth and cried out in surprise.
"Yuxi, are you Yuxi, I can't imagine you have grown so big!"
Xuanji hermit was very surprised when she saw Yuxi in front of her, she actually grew into a girl like a flower and jade, but the familiar look between her eyebrows and eyes still seemed familiar.
