Xuanzhou Beihai Wind Thunder Mountain.

This place is the extreme north of Xuanzhou, across the North Sea in front of Changshu is Changzhou, through Changzhou is the first of the ten capitals of Zuzhou Kunlun Mansion.

And along the Beihai River, riding the wind and waves for 30,000 miles, you can also reach Zuzhou.

Either way, it is the best way to get from Xuanzhou to Zuzhou Kunlun Mansion.

It can be said that Xiao Che at this time is not too far away from his hometown.

However, he stopped here.

"Grandpa, I may not be able to take you home until a little later. ”

Xiao Che stood on the reef by the sea holding a small porcelain jar, looking at the turbulent waves in front of him indifferently, and there was no expression on his face.

Since walking out of Qiushui with the ashes of his grandfather Xiao Changge, Xiao Che has traveled from Yingzhou to Xuanzhou alone, and has been walking for nearly a year.

He was barefoot, his clothes were a little tattered, but not very sloppy, his original porcelain doll-like white face and the skin around him were already dark, and his long hair was twisted into a flat head by himself.

Now he no longer has the appearance of a squeamish noble son in the autumn water, and at first glance he is no different from this fisherman by the sea.

However, if there was a cultivator with a good realm here, he would definitely be able to detect the fierce sword intent emanating from his body, intentionally or unintentionally, but it could be seen that he was hiding this surging sword intent very carefully.

There is no doubt that his journey of nearly a year has not been in vain, and the porcelain doll-like child who cried and walked down the mountain in the autumn water has completely turned into a sharp and restrained sword.

However, Xiao Che felt that it was not enough.

In particular, the news of the destruction of the autumn water made him completely extinguish the idea of crossing the sea to Zuzhou.

Xiao Che has seen Mr. Big's strength, and he also knows some of Qiushui's true strength from his grandfather's admonition before his death.

But even such a powerful autumn water in Grandpa's mouth was destroyed in the hands of Yan Prison and Immortal Alliance in just a few months.

Qiushui is still like this, even if he crosses the North Sea, can he really return to Kunlun and enter the Xiao family?

Although he is not very old, he was able to see "no eggs under the nest" a year ago, how can he not see through the situation in front of him at this time?

But he didn't stop here because he was timid.

He stayed in this Beihai Wind Thunder Mountain, just to get one thing, what his grandfather had told him.

found a small hidden cave at the reef by the sea, and buried Xiao Changge's ashes and the water sword in it.

"After the winter solstice, I took that thing and came to take you away. ”

Glancing at the location of the buried water sword and grandpa's ashes, Xiao Che hesitated for a moment and then changed his words:

"Even if I can't get it, I'll come back and take you away. ”

Recently, there has been civil strife in Xuanzhou Kaiyuan Sect, and all the forces in Xuanzhou have been completely under the control of the Taixuan Mansion of the Immortal League, which is a small fishing village in the North Sea, and many soldiers of the Immortal Alliance will come to search every day.

Xiao Che stayed here for less than half a month, and he was checked four or five times, and it was still early before the winter solstice, so he thought about it and decided to find a place to hide the water sword and his grandfather's ashes.

After hiding his things, Xiao Che dived into the sea and caught a few sea fish.

He has almost exhausted his coils, and now he basically relies on the game in the mountains and the soup of these sea fish to satisfy his hunger.

......

"As long as you can come out of the Dusk Drum Forest after ten years, no matter whether you catch the remnants of the autumn water or not, you will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars, ten thousand gold of immortal food, and the position of a thousand households in the Immortal Mansion, this reward is too high!"

"It's true, for the sake of an autumn water remnant, the Immortal League is considered to have made a bloody investment. ”

"That's it, that's it, if my cultivation is better, I'll definitely go to the Dusk Drum Forest now!"

"Actually, although our cultivation is a little worse, but if we find more people to partner with, bring more secret weapon rations, it shouldn't be a big problem to survive ten years in that twilight drum forest!"

Just as Xiao Che passed through a small fishing village by the sea, preparing to return to his temporary residence at the foot of Fenglei Mountain, a noisy noise suddenly sounded in his ears.

If it was usual, in order to hide people's eyes, he would definitely not make up for this kind of excitement.

However, the words "remnants of autumn water" in the mouths of the villagers stopped him.

I saw that in front of me there was an extra notice board on the open space where fishermen came to dry their nets and mend boats, and two new pieces of paper were pasted on the notice board.

One is a reward notice for the pursuit of Li Yunsheng, the remnant of Qiushui, and the other is a notice about the Kaiyuan Sect Sect Master Chen Qingzhi who killed his fellow disciples and was arrested and imprisoned by the Immortal League.

"Li Yunsheng ......"

Xiao Che didn't pay much attention to the notice about the sect master of the Kaiyuan Sect, but seeing the reward order about Li Yunsheng attracted his attention, and he couldn't help but walk up to the notice.

But when he saw the sentence written in the notice—

"My Immortal League and the people of the ten states have a total of 10,000 people who have gone deep into the Dusk Drum Forest, and have already captured the remnants of the autumn water, but the Dusk Drum Forest Mountain Gate has been closed in advance......

Xiao Che's expression changed from solemn to relaxed, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently hooked an arc.

"You really didn't leave, and you didn't die, it's good, it's good, it seems that I can still eat your steamed buns in the future." ”

He said with a mental smile.

This notice reduced the depressed mood after listening to the autumn water.

Li Yunsheng can live, which seems to give him a little more hope when he is also "under the nest".

After feeling better, he turned his attention to the notice about Kaiyuan Sect again.

After reading it from beginning to end, he frowned and said in a low voice:

"First our Xiao family, then Qiushui, and now Kaiyuan Sect, it seems that it won't be long before the power of the sect will be completely cannibalized by the Immortal Alliance, what will become of these ten states in the future?"

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel more urgent about wanting to enhance my strength.

"If you can get that thing after the winter solstice, maybe it will be easier in the future. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and walked as he thought about the possibility of getting the thing from his grandfather's mouth.

Xiao Che didn't have any grand intentions, he just wanted to send his grandfather's ashes to his grandmother, and then let those who should be punished be punished as they deserved, and those who shouldn't be in the Xiao family get out of the small family.

"But then again, when I went to Qiushui before, my grandfather also took me to meet the sect master of Kaiyuan Sect. ”

Xiao Che suddenly turned his head and glanced at the notice with the portrait of Chen Qingzhi.

"I don't know if the stupid son of Sect Master Chen's family escaped. ”

He pursed his lips, that time he accompanied his grandfather to see Chen Qingzhi, and it was Chen Qingzhi's youngest son Chen Tai'a who was responsible for entertaining him.

And Xiao Che's only impression of Chen Tai'a is...... Foolish.

......

Xiao Che's temporary residence is at the foot of Fenglei Mountain, some way from the fishing village, and was originally an abandoned and dilapidated temple.

Most of the tiles on the roof of this broken temple are missing, and the walls have collapsed, but fortunately, it is extremely hidden, and it is difficult to find it in the dense forest between the mountains if you don't deliberately look for it, so although it is dilapidated, Xiao Che still chose to live.

However, it took two or three days to repair the roof and walls before moving in, and now it is barely inhabitable, and I light a fire in the house before going to bed at night, but I don't feel cold.

Just when Xiao Che was thinking about whether the sea fish in his hand were stewed in soup or roasted in the fire, he was suddenly stunned when he unconsciously walked in front of the broken temple.

I saw that the dilapidated temple in front of me, which had been repaired by myself, had more than half collapsed at this time.

"Ah...... Pain and pain...... It hurts me to death. ”

Just as he wanted to get closer to see what was going on, a young man with a gray head crawled up from the ruins of the ruined temple.

"Crow Nine, what the hell did you take me to?"

The boy rubbed his head and said to himself with a painful grin at the long sword he held in his hand.

"That stupid son of the Kaiyuan Sect Master's family???"

Listening to this voice, and then looking at the figure of the young man standing from the rubble of the ruined temple, Xiao Che suddenly said with a shocked face.

"Huh?"

The boy in the rubble pile also spotted Xiao Che.

"What stupid son?"

He first tilted his head to look at Xiao Che, and then slowly opened his mouth:

"Are you Xiao Che?!"
