Things are still going on in the city.

It's been five days since the last battle in the city, and apart from the fact that some big names are secretly on guard, nothing else is much different.

It's still a daily rush, and there are still demons who die under the sword, and from entering the city to now, there are no less than hundreds.

There is only one sword cultivator in the city, Xu Baichuan, and it stands to reason that he has made such a big move and killed so many demons, and there will always be some unpleasant ones to eradicate them, but it is very inexplicable that he can't make a move because of the words handed down by a certain character.

Therefore, the situation in the city is a little weird, on the one hand, it is gritting teeth, and on the other hand, it is helpless.

Five days ago, that night, all the families received a message, saying that they should not offend Xu Baichuan, even if they couldn't see it anymore, they could only send the demon cultivators of the same realm, if they wanted to bully people by relying on their cultivation, the city would not be able to tolerate him.

As soon as this message came out, the whole city was in an uproar, all of them couldn't figure out why Zuoqiu Shouxin passed down this word, but if he couldn't figure it out, he still had to carry out the order, and he didn't dare to go beyond half a step.

After all, this is Zuoqiu's trustworthy white jade city, and in the city, Zuoqiu's trustworthy fist is the largest and most reasonable.

At noon on this day, the sun shone very rarely, and all kinds of trees in the city were covered with knowledge, but they were forced by the breath, and none of them dared to speak.

The climate of the demon domain has always been very strange, maybe yesterday was a warm spring breeze, today is the goose feather snow, now send away the spring breeze, usher in summer, it is not so unusual, not to mention that at this time, if it is converted to the Great Zhou world, it should also be a hot summer.

In the courtyard, Xu Baichuan was using sword qi to make bamboo swords, while Tu Shanye was watching from the sidelines.

On the one hand, he looked at the craftsmanship like a butterfly wearing flowers, and on the other hand, he stared at the wine gourd that Xu Baichuan placed next to him.

I don't know what this little guy is obsessed with, the first thing he sees every day when he sees Xu Baichuan is to beg for a drink, the way is more special, not like other bear children to make a big noise, but just look at you from the side, it is several hours at a glance, and it is thanks to the lack of physical endurance of the demon clan that it can withstand so long.

As for the bamboo sword, it was a novel idea that suddenly popped out of Tu Shanye's mind after watching Xu Baichuan practice swordsmanship in the past few days, and the idea was out of control, and then he asked Xu Baichuan for Qiu Feng, saying that he also wanted to be a sword cultivator and go out to kill demons.

Silly boy, you're a demon yourself, don't you think it's strange to say these things?

Of course, Tu Shanye is still young, and he has no heart to speak, so he can say whatever he thinks, and he doesn't have to care too much.

It's just that Qiu Feng identified Xu Baichuan as the master, and he didn't fake the color for the others, unless you were a sword immortal and got Xu Baichuan's consent, otherwise touching it without permission would only leave a sword wound on your body.

However, although you can't play with the autumn breeze to Tu Shanye, there is no problem in making a bamboo sword.

Since children want to play, then follow her wishes, maybe she can really practice swords and become famous in the future.

Although the hope may not be too great, it should not be bad to leave a thought.

Xu Baichuan patted the bamboo crumbs on his body, held the bamboo sword hilt with one hand and shook it gently, and casually pulled a beautiful sword flower.

Tu Shanye looked envious, staring at this beautiful bamboo sword with all his heart.

The bamboo sword is made of freshly picked bamboo, and the material is not very good, but after the portrayal of the sword qi, it is actually not weaker than the sword cast with steel.

Tu Shanye took the bamboo sword in his hand and waved it indiscriminately, very satisfied.

Although according to Xu Baichuan's eyes, it is completely out of order, but the momentum is still quite sufficient, if you have such a bamboo sword in a small town of the human race, not to mention anything else, there is no problem in being the king and hegemon among children.

Xu Baichuan drank and smiled.

Tu Shanye excitedly made a few wind noises, perhaps too happy, the demonic energy in his body unconsciously ran into his hand, and then flowed to the bamboo sword through the meridians, and then, the bamboo sword came out of his hand uncontrollably, flying straight out and stabbing into the wall of the opposite door.

As the initiator, Tu Shanye looked surprised, first looked at his hand, and then looked at the bamboo sword piercing the wall, unable to speak for a long time.

Xu Baichuan looked amused, beckoned to recall the bamboo sword, added a few sword formations to it, and handed it to Tu Shanye after doing it.

The sword qi is extremely sharp, not mixed with a little impurity, and the demon qi is weird and unpredictable, if it is mixed with the sword qi, there will definitely be a fight between the two, the previous scene came out of his hand because Xu Baichuan is more restrained, if it is converted to another situation, maybe after getting rid of it, he will stab a sword at the master.

Xu Baichuan smiled: "You, the sword is made for you, don't lose it half-heartedly in the future." ”

Tu Shanye nodded heavily, his expression was extremely serious, as if he was swearing to the sky, which made people laugh.

Xu Baichuan couldn't help but smile, patted Tu Shanye's head, and then watched her play, if she was interested, she would teach one or two swordsmanship, and the two could be regarded as happy.

In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, Tu Shanye felt a little tired after playing with the bamboo sword for a while, so he went back to the room to sleep, leaving Xu Baichuan alone to read in the courtyard.

Tu Shanyue stepped on the mottled sun and walked into the courtyard, perhaps because of the deviation of the angle, the shadow under his feet was stretched extremely long, but people had not seen it, but the shadow appeared first.

When Tu Shanyue went out in the morning, she was talking about going grocery shopping, but now she came back empty-handed, what she was like when she went out, and what she was like when she came back.

Xu Baichuan didn't care much about this, but only said a few words after Tu Shanyue went to see if Tu Shanye had fallen asleep, and the meaning was very simple, that is, to ask her if she was leaving.

The words were flat, Tu Shanyue stopped when she heard the sound, turned her head to look at Xu Baichuan, pursed her lips, and then nodded.

She's really preparing for this these days, and it's not unusual to be guessed because she's done a lot of unusual behavior.

Tu Shanyue said softly: "Yousu has already discovered me, the one you killed last time was only the first one, if I stay here, I will meet again in the future, only leaving is the best." ”

Xu Baichuan didn't raise his head and said, "When are you going to leave, do you want me to help?"

Tu Shanyue shook her head, "Just in the last two days, don't help, I feel very sorry to trouble you once before, if I let you do trouble again, it will be very unacceptable, Zuoqiu City Lord will help us." ”

"You gave him the two trees?"

Tu Shanyue nodded and mumbled.

Xu Baichuan said calmly, "Those two trees are worth a lot of money, I just saw them by chance in a book, you give him two, it's too much of a loss." ”

Tu Shanyue naturally knew about the loss, but there was no way, the only thing that could help her here was Zuoqiu's trustworthiness, and she couldn't help the so-called sky-high asking price to pay back on the spot.

Even if it was left to her by the man.

Tu Shanyue wasn't going to say more on this topic, she just asked, "What are you doing here in the Demon Domain?"

Xu Baichuan glanced up at her, and said, "Kill the demon." ”

There is only one reason for the sword to enter the demon realm, and it has been the case since ancient times.

This question was actually very unnecessary, but Xu Baichuan still answered.

Tu Shanyue didn't know what to say, after all, she was also a demon.

"Are we friends?"

Hearing this question, Xu Baichuan couldn't help but be stunned, then smiled and said, "Count half." ”

Yes, they can only be regarded as half friends, Xu Baichuan has never had many friends, there are men and women, old and young, but these people have one thing in common, that is, they are all people, and for demons, they can only be half.

Tu Shanyue was silent for a moment, then whispered a few words of half a friend, and then a smile appeared on his face, and said, "But in my opinion, you are my friend, not half!"

It doesn't look like a lie.

Xu Baichuan smiled, didn't say anything, lowered his head and continued to read.

Tu Shanyue sat on the side in a daze, and didn't wake up to cook until the sun was in the west.

And at this time, perhaps because of the aroma of the food when cooking, Tu Shanye was full of energy and came out with a bamboo sword to entangle Xu Baichuan and beg for wine.

Xu Baichuan laughed, jumped into the roof, and then sat on the roof tiles and looked at the sunset, making Tu Shanye, who was staring at him in a hurry, very helpless.

In the end, he could only go to Tu Shanyue to complain angrily.

But because of the lack of manpower, he was left behind as a helper, and he was not able to get out until the meal was ready.

Xu Baichuan looked at Tu Shanyue, who greeted him for dinner, smiled and nodded, his heart moved slightly, and it was coming in an instant.

There is no wind at all, so that people can't detect the slightest surprise.

Tu Shanyue took a deep breath, looked at Xu Baichuan with a calm face as usual, and couldn't help asking, "Have you broken through the realm to the point of being well-connected?"

Xu Baichuan nodded and said yes.

After getting an affirmative answer, Tu Shanyue's face looked very complicated, she knew that Xu Baichuan was not very old, and he had only practiced swords for about five or six years, but the realm breakthrough was so big, it could even be said that it was one realm a year, which made her very amazed.

Maybe that's genius.

Tu Shanyue couldn't help but think so.

She has been in contact with cultivation since she was a child, and her qualifications are not bad, but her cultivation has only barely touched the threshold of her heart, and it will take a long time to really step into it.

It's really incomparable.

Xu Baichuan looked at Tu Shanyue's stunned expression, as if he understood her thoughts, but he didn't say anything big, but just said softly: "I got a psychic demon pill before, wait for you, eat now." ”

Tu Shanyue was silent for a moment and said thank you seriously.

After the meal, Tu Shanye was playing alone in the courtyard, while Xu Baichuan and Tu Shanyue were watching the moon on the rooftop.

Tonight the moon is full of stars, it is really a good picture, if it is not for the two of them to paint, say anything to depict this beautiful scenery.

Tu Shanyue looked at the moon in the sky with her hands and knees, and said softly: " When he was still there before, we would always look at the moon like this, and then tell us stories, Ah Ye has always been very naughty, but when listening to the story is very quiet, always feel that one is not enough, to listen to a few more, he will not refuse, has always smiled and agreed, saying that as long as he is there, as many stories as you want to hear, but suddenly one day, I and Ah Ye got up and found that he was gone, leaving only a leaf, I looked for a long time, and asked many people but said that they had not seen him, when Ah Ye cried for a long time, I too, and finally I really couldn't find it before giving up, and then it came to the present。 ”

"You said that if he came back one day and found that Ah Ye and I were gone, would he be sad and sad?"

Tu Shanyue turned her head and asked.

Xu Baichuan didn't know how to answer, he should be Tu Shanyue's closest relative, and there should be a reason for leaving, and he didn't know what he would think of him as an outsider, so he could only say some comforting words, which could be regarded as a response.

The two were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere fell silent.

Later, it was Xu Baichuan who took the lead in breaking the silence.

"I'll tell you a story, do you want to hear it?"

"Yes, I'll listen to what you say. ”

"There is a remote country thousands of miles away, the country is not very big, so the grasp of each territory is very tight, I don't know whether it is deliberate or unintentional, but there is still a town that has been missed, the town is not big, the people are only a few dozen households, they have been living there since hundreds of years ago, people from outside rarely come in, people in the town rarely go out, the days go by like this, and then one day a man came from outside the town, the man was very good-looking, according to the words of those people at the time, it was as good as the gods in the sky, and then for some reason the man decided to take root in the town, Introduced to marry an orphan girl in the town as a daughter-in-law, everything was very good, although the life is bitter, but it can go on, but when the woman is pregnant, the man is gone, the woman looked for a lot of places and did not find, and finally I couldn't find it and had no choice but to give up, and then a few months later the child was born, and the woman also focused on the child, thinking about teaching the child to take the exam after becoming a talent, but maybe it was a disaster, when the child was six years old, the woman was seriously ill, Lang Zhong said that the disease could not be cured, and in the end, the woman did not survive the winter, and died when it fell in the first snow, leaving only a wooden house and a pile of books for the child. ”

"Later, that child, maybe it really shouldn't be fate, survived by eating a hundred family meals, just survived a few winters and summers, and when he was a little older, he couldn't eat in vain, he was going to work, and he exchanged a few steamed buns for a day's hard work, and the days were very hard, but there was hope after all, many of the books left by the woman were read by him, and he also wanted to remember what the woman said before she died, to take the top prize to glorify the lintel, but after being beaten a few times, I realized that reading was not too useful, others reasoned with your fists, and you used your mouth to talk about the truth of those saints, it is indeed useless, even if you speak well, But others don't listen, after a few experiences, the kid also learned to be obedient, and used those books to trade with the head of the Orion in the town to learn boxing and kicking for a few years, and finally had the capital to reason with those people, and then later, he accidentally broke into a place, met a person who was not bad, and after a few twists and turns, it turned from fists and feet to swords, and then things were not very interesting. ”

Xu Baichuan said these words with a calm face, at least on his face, and as for whether his heart was, it was unknown.

Tu Shanyue pursed her lips and looked at Xu Baichuan, not knowing what to say.

A five-year-old child who has lost his parents wants to live to grow up safely, and it is very difficult just thinking about it, and he is dwarfed by comparison.

Xu Baichuan drank a few sips of wine, touched the autumn breeze, and said: "There is hope when you are alive, even if that hope is out of reach, but if you want to live, you will be able to grasp it one day." ”

Tu Shanyue then asked, "Is that kid you?"

Xu Baichuan smiled and said softly: "This is just a story I said casually, and I can't help it if you want to take it seriously." ”

The words are easy-going, but there is a hint of loneliness hidden in them.

Maybe it's really him.

"I've heard that your Terrans have a word in addition to their names, what is your word?"

Word is a long-standing tradition, is the name that every scholar will have after the implementation of Confucianism, generally by the close relatives or teachers to take, Xu Baichuan has no father and no mother, and now it is just a person who practices and does not have a master, in fact, there is no word.

The latter shook his head and said calmly: "My name is Xu Baichuan, my mother gave it to me, there is no word." ”

When Tu Shanyue heard this, she felt a little pity for no reason.

She sighed, turned her head to look at Tu Shanye, who was playing energetically below, and fell silent again.

Xu Baichuan has finished telling the story, and what he is doing now is to lie on the roof and watch the starlight.

The sky is full of stars and the bright moon, just like the scene I saw when I was a child lying in my mother's arms.

Sparkling.

It's like the mother's dark eyes at that time, with incredible brilliance.

Xu Baichuan looked at the starry sky like this, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Falling asleep with a sky full of stars is poetic no matter how you look at it, but now it embodies an indescribable sense of loneliness in this young man.

The world is so big, he is walking alone, there is no way back, no relatives and friends, he can only hold the sword and keep moving forward.

Tu Shanyue didn't dare to wake him up, and even the sound of going down became extremely small, and she walked to Tu Shanye's side softly and asked her to go to sleep in the room, and she took a blanket out and covered Xu Baichuan before going back.

The stars faded away, and there was no word for a night.

Thanks to the strange weather, there was dew in the early morning in Baiyu City, and many places were a little humid when they got up early in the morning, but only the place where Xu Baichuan was located was an exception.

He looked at the blanket in his hand that was obviously not his own, smiled lightly, and jumped down, it should be said that it was a coincidence, at this moment Tu Shanyue also happened to open the door and walked out.

The two collided.

Tu Shanyue was holding a basin towel in his hand, and Xu Baichuan was holding a blanket in his hand.

Xu Baichuan said gently: "Thank you." ”

After speaking, he handed over the blanket in his hand.

Tu Shanyue looked at him, her eyes skimmed the basin on her hand, and the meaning was self-evident.

The latter didn't feel embarrassed, but just asked where to put it.

Tu Shanyue said softly: "Just put it on the stool, and I'll take it in later." ”

Xu Baichuan did so, and then he heard the words again.

"Wait for me to cook, what do you want to eat?"

Xu Baichuan thought about it and said, "Whatever." ”
