Before leaving the land outside the law, Zhuge Chen and the down-and-out scholars worked hard to finally plan the original route this time.

Bai Yi stretched out his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Thank you." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, just think you owe me a little favor. When I'm in crisis in the future, it's enough to have your help. The down-and-out scholar picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip, and spoke. Compared with the way of drinking tea by elegant people, the two are undoubtedly much simpler, and there is nothing exquisite. On the one hand, I can't learn it, and on the other hand, I don't bother to do it at all, after all, it is time-consuming and laborious.

Zhuge Chen said jokingly: "Good guy, it's just a small favor, and it gets to the most difficult favor." Sure enough, as the cultivators said, you onmyoji are the most unprofitable and can't afford to be early. Well, I'll just think it's okay. ”

Bai got a bargain, and he didn't see the down-and-out scholar say anything in this regard, but knocked his fingers on the table and said: "But the world is vast, and there are many talented people. And you still have to choose to suppress your own realm. In that case, you'd better be careful. ”

"Understood. After saying this, Zhuge Chen walked out of the house. He also had to say goodbye to Wang Daxue and Gina. Especially the latter, it is not just a matter of time to meet again after this separation. In fact, he didn't worry about Gina, after all, he had a plan in his heart. Whether you're in the Bitter Sea Academy or want to return to your tribe's oasis, as long as Gina is happy. Anyway, no one can threaten her, and Zhuge Chen can travel far away with peace of mind.

Returning to the house of the Sect Master of the Tenghuang Sect, Zhuge Chen went straight to the point and explained his plan to Gena. Unexpectedly, the woman didn't make a fuss, but nodded and agreed without thinking: "Although I don't want you to leave me in my heart, I still know which is more important." You don't have to worry about me when you're outside, there won't be any problems. As for the College...... I'm not going there as a mortal. It's good for you to let Senior Brother send me back to the oasis, after being away for such a long time, I actually want to be there. ”

The woman's eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like autumn water, which made Zhuge Chen couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and laugh. He took a small wooden sword from his mustard seed and smelted it with a gas machine to shrink it to the size of a fingernail. Then he threaded it with a thread and placed it in Gina's hand: "This wooden sword was the one I used when I was a fledgling, and I used it until I got the rubber pillar sword at my waist, so it means a lot to me." Now that I have given it to you, if you want me, take it out and look at it, and think of it as if you were seeing things and thinking about people. I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible. ”

Gina smiled and whispered softly, "What is this, is this a token of love?"

Zhuge Chen scratched his head, a little embarrassed. It was only when facing Gina that the white-clothed sword cultivator looked like an ordinary youth.

Unexpectedly, the parting was imminent, Gina actually had a gift to give, she pretended to mysteriously let Zhuge Chen close his eyes, and after a period of confusion, he finally put a pendant on Zhuge Chen's neck: "In our Qiang tribe, women will always carry this pendant with them since birth. And when she meets the man she really likes, she will send him away. It represents his whole life, and he will not marry. Zhuge Chen, I don't want you to be such a great person in the future, I just hope that you can return safely and marry me, promise me, okay?"

Zhuge Chen looked at the woman in front of him, and his love was unspeakable. He nodded heavily, and then reassured, "Don't worry, with my realm, there are not many cultivators in the world who can kill me. ”

"I'm not just talking about the present, but also about the not-too-distant future. As if seeing that Zhuge Chen didn't understand what he meant, Gina said coquettishly: "But I believe in you." Don't stay here, hurry up and achieve your goal, leave early, and you will be able to come back sooner. ”

Zhuge Chen turned back three times in one step, and when he came to the street, he was still distracted by Gina's soft whimper. It must be a hard-hearted person, and he will be soft-hearted at this time.

In the end, he still didn't go to Wang Daxue. There is really nothing to say between the two, and they can't drink for him. What's more, as a man, some fleshy words can't be spoken, as long as the other party knows his mind. However, he still left a sword aura of his own at the city gate, as long as Wang Daxue passed by here, he would be able to learn about him. Moreover, there is also a true meaning about the Kunlun Sword in the sword qi, if Wang Daxue can study hard, he will definitely be able to benefit a lot.

Finally, looking back at the tall city wall behind him, Zhuge Chen smiled lightly, covered his face with a veil, and walked towards the desert.

......

In the shallow season of late winter and spring, on a ferry on the sea, there is a faint sound of flute.

Zhuge Chen, who was dressed in a white robe, opened his eyes from the cabin, put the thousands of sword qi in the room into his sleeve, and then pushed the door and walked out. Chanting a trumpet, he leaped onto the deck. When he looked up, the fog was heavy, just like the mood of many people on the ship, and it was full of haze.

It turned out that three days earlier, only about a few hours after the ferry had departed, it had been hit by a major storm. According to the boatman's words, the sea was calm and calm, and he had never heard of a ship being wrecked or killed since the beginning of his memory. I don't know if they bumped into the big luck or what, but in short, a seaspout rose up from the sky and stopped the ferry. At that time, it was impossible to return home. Only by rushing forward to gamble head-on can there be any hope of survival.

Of course, Zhuge Chen didn't want to fall into the icy seawater, so he had no choice but to sink the gas engine to the bottom of the boat, only to find out that it was a huge carp playing tricks. He demonstrated with his sword qi and cut off the opponent's fish whiskers, which allowed the entire ferry to pass through this place without danger. But what really made him strange was that while he was driving the sword qi, there was another cultivator who was not low in the realm and also had the idea of making a move, but the other party found out about him and decisively stopped. Although he was puzzled, he didn't think much of it. He is not the only cultivator in the world who must be traveling far away.

As for why he was wearing a Taoist robe, it was because he was trying to hide his identity as a sword cultivator. The two swords of Sanchen and Jiaozhu have been included in the realm by him, and it is enough for him to carry a peach wood sword to slay demons and eliminate demons. With the secret methods of Taoism and the inheritance left by the kendo people, at least self-preservation.

Whether it was in heaven or now, he has a lot of connections with Taoism. Coincidentally, taking this opportunity to understand how a Taoist priest will act, isn't it a rare experience?

He turned his head to look around, and at the moment there was singing and dancing on the deck, as if everyone was celebrating the aftermath of the catastrophe, and almost everyone's face was filled with joy. And the melodious flute sound also comes from here. He walked through the crowd, carefully dodging everyone. This ferry is going to Yunmeng. We'll rest at the ferry tonight, and there's still five days to go.

Zhuge Chen actually had no concept of the time he spent in the room, in short, he sharpened his sword qi, and when he had nothing to do, he took out the heart pendant and put it in his hand to look at it. In this way, time flies.

At this moment, he leaned against the side of the boat, drinking tea brewed in boiling hot water, and squinted at the sea in the distance. Although the fog was thick, he could still see the ferry in the distance. The cold night had arrived, and he felt a hint of cold in the realm of good luck now, and the passengers who were singing and dancing returned to their rooms. It's just obvious that the people who didn't know each other have become intimate because of the waterspout.

Zhuge Chen smiled lightly and said to himself: "People's hearts...... It's hard to speculate. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a man with crane hair and a childish face stepped forward, leaned against him, and said, "Do you have any unique insights on what you said?"
