The town is prosperous, and in addition to the secular people, it is natural that there are also students who are silent about dancing and writing, so after asking for directions, the two easily found a place to study.

It is a three-hall academy, and there is an old gentleman with white hair and a coarse cloth robe, who is teaching a group of young children and leading them to recite the words of the saints.

"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies......"

The two stood outside the door, quietly listening to the old gentleman's gentle voice, each with their own feelings.

Anan didn't think too much in his heart, but simply felt that this old gentleman spoke really well, and the disciple also listened to it properly, he should be a very respected old gentleman, if he could study with this gentleman, it would be very good.

And Xu Baichuan experienced the ups and downs of the road of cultivation in these words, just like the great task of heaven descending from heaven, if you want to cultivate higher, you will suffer more pain and suffering, only by carrying the past and walking to the top, can you live up to the path of cultivation.

This passage of the sage's words was not very long, only a few dozen words, so the old gentleman quickly read it out, and then asked the students to memorize it, and when he turned his head to take a sip of the tea on the table, he found the two people standing in the doorway listening.

The old gentleman glanced at Xu Baichuan and the two in surprise, and when he was sure that there were only these two people, he felt a little puzzled, his school was specifically to teach children to understand the words of the sage, except for the time when Xiu Mu was dismissed, few people came, even if there were, there would inevitably be a child, but he didn't find a child around these two people, why did he come here?

The old gentleman drank a sip of tea without hurry, moistened his thirsty throat, and then slowly walked up to the two of them and asked the doubts in his heart.

Xu Baichuan didn't hide it, and pointed at Anan very straightforwardly, saying that he wanted her to study and read with her husband.

After understanding the whole story, the old gentleman was even more surprised, since he started to lecture here, although both men and women can study here, but he has never been as old as Anan, and he hesitated for a while.

Xu Baichuan didn't say much, he waited patiently for the old gentleman's reply, in fact, he could have taught Anan by himself, he didn't have to find Mr., with the books he had read over the years, it was still easy to make a hand, but he felt that such trouble would delay his sword practice time, so it was better to find a gentleman.

The old gentleman didn't answer quickly, but first looked at Anan who was full of serious expression, nodded slightly, and then turned to look at Xu Baichuan, and when he saw the autumn wind sword on his waist, his eyes were even more surprised.

This sword, he seems to have read it in a book with his classmates when he was young, but now he can't remember it clearly.

But one thing he can be sure of is that this sword is very unusual.

It's just that he doesn't know where it is.

The old gentleman was reminded of the past by a sword.

Xu Baichuan and Anan looked at the old gentleman patiently, waiting for a reply.

The atmosphere was so quiet that there was no sound except for the occasional small commotion in the school.

After a long time.

In the end, Xu Baichuan opened his mouth and asked, "Can the old gentleman allow it?"

When the old gentleman heard this, his expression was slightly dignified, his mind turned, he thought about it, and felt that Anan was a heart of learning after all, reading and literacy was created by a saint, and it was not his family's thing, so naturally everyone in the world could come to study, and he was too late to be happy, so how could he rush out, so he agreed.

The tone was gentle, and the voice was not loud, which made her very happy to listen to Anan's ears, and it happened that there were still a few empty tables in the school, so she sat down satisfied.

It's very upright.

Whoever comes can't find fault with it.

The children around were all curious about this new big sister, and for a while they didn't care to recite the words of the saint silently, and turned to look at Anan and looked around, looking idle, and some of them were still discussing in private, not caring at all that the old gentleman was taking in all this not far away.

Xu Baichuan looked at all this, shook his head, turned to look at the old gentleman, and said softly: "Anan will ask the old gentleman more in the future, and please ask the old gentleman to pay more attention." ”

The old gentleman also smiled, nodded, and said that this is the right thing to do, after a few conversations, and then he noticed that a girl was called Anan, something was wrong, these two words should be equivalent to a nickname, and how could he, as a gentleman, call himself a student nickname, so he asked Xu Baichuan for Anan's real name.

Xu Baichuan did not hide it at all, and happily told this curious old gentleman all the things about killing the tiger demon in the mountain village, as for the rest, he did a little concealment, and did not say how deep the relationship between Anan and the tiger demon was, but said that Anan was rescued by him, and all he knew was the name Anan, as for how much he didn't know, and why he took Anan out, it was that he couldn't bear to watch the helpless suffering in the mountain village, so he brought Anan out.

After listening to the story quietly and quietly, the old gentleman thought for a while, and quickly came to a conclusion in his heart, this young man who seems to be a swordsman in the rivers and lakes should be a cultivator, and the realm should not be low, after all, if you want to kill the tiger demon, it is still the kind of person who has become a climate and turned into a human form, and has not cultivated to the realm, even if you have a good cultivation of the swordsmanship of the rivers and lakes, you are looking for death at all.

The old gentleman was silent for a moment, and then pointed out: "Xu Gongzi let Anan study, there must be something else to meaning." ”

Xu Baichuan was noncommittal, did not answer, just smiled, and let the smart old gentleman guess by himself, as for whether the guess is accurate or not, it will not have much impact on the matter.

The old gentleman looked at Xu Baichuan, and for some reason, an idea came to his heart, which could be suppressed by him at the beginning, but it intensified later, and finally the old gentleman decided to give it a try, so he asked in a tentative tone: "How is Xu Gongzi's cultivation?" ”

Xu Baichuan's expression was calm, and he didn't hide it much, and said the realm directly.

He is a Heart Fire Sword Cultivator.

Originally, there was no need to hide it, anyway, the news about his cultivation realm was already known to everyone among the cultivators, and it made no difference if one more or less knew about it.

After hearing this, the old gentleman was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he showed a look of joy on his face, considered his tone, and said, "Did Gongzi Xu ever know about the destruction of Jingfu?"

Xu Baichuan felt that this question was very interesting, and quickly said with a smile: "I know, I heard that there are a full thirty-four people who have turned into ghosts and ghosts around Jingfu, so that few people are close to that side, and even change color when they hear it. ”

The old gentleman thought about how he didn't understand, the reason why he talked to him so much, and asked him to pave the way for his cultivation, the root of it was to point directly at Jingfu, which was entangled in the ghosts, and wanted to rely on his cultivation to kill the ghosts in it, but the ghosts were wiped out by him last night, and the old gentleman was in vain.

So before the old gentleman could continue to speak, Xu Baichuan told all the ghosts of Jingfu about the scattered souls.

When the old gentleman heard this, he knew what had happened, and he was in a trance for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a big stone had fallen in his heart.

Xu Baichuan looked at everything in his eyes and didn't ask why, he didn't really care much about other people's private affairs, once he asked, it was very likely to be another trouble.

The two talked for half an hour, and in this half hour, Anan, who was still sitting upright, couldn't bear to look around, and whispered to the children who had just become together, although they were chatting about their own things, but they were also unexpectedly harmonious.

When the old gentleman walked back to the school and began to lecture, he returned to his seat and became quiet.

And Xu Baichuan left this school to discuss the purchase of firewood, rice, oil and salt with the tooth people, leaving Anan here alone.

I'm going to pick her up when school is over.

As for Anan's safety, there are sword qi means left on his body, as long as there is danger, it will be triggered, and Xu Baichuan will arrive as soon as possible, so there is no need to worry too much.

After turning a few alleys, I soon arrived in front of the tooth man.

The tooth man looked at Xu Baichuan standing in front of him, obviously startled, and even suspected that he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, until he saw the shadow under Xu Baichuan's feet that was illuminated by the sun, and then he gasped for breath.

As far as he knew, since the rumors of haunting came out of Jingfu, no matter who lived in it, even if it was a famous Jianghu in the rivers and lakes for a long time, they couldn't stay in it too quietly for a night, and Xu Baichuan actually stood in front of him seemingly unharmed, how could he not be afraid?

Xu Baichuan ignored the tooth man's surprise, just took out a lot of silver from his body and handed it to the tooth man, and soon said what he needed.

The tooth man was full of guarantees, saying that it was just some trivial things, and it was all on him.

Xu Baichuan was noncommittal, he didn't care whether what the tooth man said was true or false, as long as he got things done.

The rest, not important.

——

Walking in a forest road after the rain, blowing the oncoming breeze, Zuo Siyao closed his eyes slightly, feeling very comfortable.

This kind of comfort has not been felt for a long time.

Thinking back to the corpse mountain and sea of blood in the demon domain, it is like a big dream, but it is not very good, it is a great nightmare, and I am thinking about how to live every day.

How difficult.

After stepping into the Great Zhou world, perhaps with Jiang Changfeng on the side, he could exchange kendo and verify each other's cultivation, Zuo Siyao, who was originally murderous and about to go crazy, seemed to have changed his previous appearance of being indifferent to everything and murderous, but like a gentleman who had just stepped down from the Sword Sect, he was as gentle as jade, which made Deng Chunyao, who was always concerned about him beside him, feel very happy.

felt that this was the young man under the moon that she had been thinking about for a long time.

It's just that the person has changed, but the sword still hasn't changed.

The sword in his hand, called Xinghuo, was still full of murderous energy, and if he pulled it out, he could faintly hear some terrible wails, and this time there was a fierce spirit wrapped around it.

Jiang Changfeng walked at the back with an unknown sword hanging from his waist, holding a yellowed bamboo flute that he had bought at a market not long ago, and was trying to play a sound.

In his vague memory, he remembered that he could play the flute, it should still be very good, there used to be a name, although I don't know why there is this kind of memory that I don't know whether it is true or false, but when I saw this yellowish bamboo flute, I still couldn't help but buy it, and wanted to verify it.

Even if he hasn't blown it yet.

His memory is very messy, and he doesn't even know how true it is, so he can only try one by one.

After agitating for a long time, the bamboo flute still didn't make a sound, Jiang Changfeng shook his head, and decided to stop for a while, not to find guilt for himself, so he put the bamboo flute in his waist, walked a few steps quickly to catch up with the two people in front, and asked as he walked: "Brother Zuo, where are we going next?"

Zuo Siyao didn't stop, just paused slightly, and quickly said: "Let's go to Guanzhou, it is said that there is a kendo senior there, who has been hearing about it for a long time, and it is just this opportunity to meet him." ”

Jiang Changfeng nodded.

He didn't have any opinion on where to go, and the reason why he asked was just to know the purpose.

Now that I know, I have no doubts in my heart.

Zuo Siyao suddenly asked, "Brother Jiang, what is the name of your sword, haven't you remembered it yet?"

Jiang Changfeng sighed and didn't answer, with a sad look in his expression.

Seeing this, Zuo Siyao heard the song and knew the elegant meaning, so he held back the doubts in his heart and stopped asking.

After getting along for the past few days, he has a lot of understanding of Jiang Changfeng, this Qingyi sword cultivator, I'm afraid he has really forgotten a lot of things.

Perhaps the only thing I can remember is the name.
