Yin and yang are like the sun and the moon, although they cannot meet each other, they are still inextricably linked.

The same goes for plane trees.

Tu Shanyue's home does have a laurel tree, but it is not planted in the yard, but in a pot.

The sycamore tree has a vision, and the laurel naturally has it.

At this time, the laurel tree was printing a faint glow, dyeing this courtyard that was a little dim due to heavy rain with a layer of light and clear light, which was clearly daytime, but it seemed to be looking at the moonlight at night.

The laurel is the moon, and the sycamore is naturally the sun, and the sun and the moon reflect each other, no matter where it is placed, it is not ordinary.

For a short moment, when Wutong and Yuegui resonated, it seemed that a large array appeared in this courtyard, connecting the place where Xu Baichuan was, and it was tightly blocked, even if it was a glimpse, even if it was just an instant, Xu Baichuan as a party was frightened enough.

He actually saw unusual information in this formation, and even the autumn wind couldn't stop shaking.

The autumn wind is a fairy sword, which can make it react, and it is definitely not a mortal thing.

It's just a glimpse, and it's not enough for Xu Baichuan to understand it thoroughly.

Xu Baichuan's contemplative appearance was seen by Tu Shanyue, the corners of his mouth were pursed, and he glanced at the laurel tree that was emitting a faint moonlight, and he couldn't help but be worried in his heart.

Xu Baichuan may have asked the laurel tree directly, but she remembered that she didn't say it at all, the laurel tree planted in the pot had been put in the room by her and never taken out, and Xu Baichuan had never gone in, how did she know?

Tu Shanyue was a little wary in her heart, she had never been at ease with Xu Baichuan, a sudden sword cultivator, she was going to buy a yard at a certain time and place, but she was afraid that she had other intentions, and now she asked about the laurel tree, she was afraid that she was about to reveal her purpose.

Don't blame her for conjecturing, although there are good people in the world, they are not sure, each of them is, and keeping some guard against others always outweighs the disadvantages.

It is not easy to stay in this turbid world and survive it.

Tu Shanyue thought about it again and again, and then asked Tu Shanye to ask the reason.

Xu Baichuan's mind was exquisite, he smiled at this, touched Tu Shanye's hair, kneaded the two balls crookedly, and replied that it was nothing under the coquettish hum.

Then he said sorry and left.

It's really nothing, at least now, as for what Xu Baichuan sees from inside, it is the benevolent and the wise see the wise.

It's better to rely on your own understanding.

Looking at the departing back, Tu Shanyue frowned inexplicably, a little unhappy.

She hates it when others sell her the most.

No matter who it is, it's annoying.

It's like on that rainy night more than ten years ago, the man ruthlessly left them behind, saying that it wouldn't take long to come back, but now more than ten years have passed, but there is still no sign of coming back.

"You said that the sycamore grows leaves, and the laurel blossoms and comes back...... I've been waiting for a long time...... Scammers ......"

Xu Baichuan, who left, didn't know Tu Shanyue's muttering, if he knew, I was afraid that he would care more about these two trees, he went to a restaurant not far away after leaving Tu Shanyue's residence, spent a few pieces of loose silver to order a meal, and after eating and drinking, he returned to his own courtyard.

There are still people following not far away, but this time it seems that they have learned to be obedient and did not approach, and it is obvious that the overwhelming momentum last time was very effective.

The rats lost their courage for a moment.

Xu Baichuan looked at the plane tree that emitted heat, stood for a moment, and then waved his sleeves and quietly arranged the next sword formation to temporarily isolate the plane tree.

He wants to sleep, but he doesn't like it to be too hot, and sleeping to the sound of the rain is actually quite a good choice.

The plane tree is still absorbing the rain, the ground is still clean, but compared to the previous heat, it is indeed much better, if it was July before, the sun is strong, then now it is the warm sun of October, and the wind is flickering, everything is just right.

He clapped his hands, as if to pat off some dust, then rolled up his sleeves, pushed open the door and entered, looking for a suitable position, and closed his eyes.

This is followed by the rotation of the sun and the moon.

Time will never stop because of someone, even if you are profound, but you are still a grain of sand in the long river of time, and you can't reverse the trend of the long river.

At the moment when it was close to dusk, Xu Baichuan naturally woke up.

Full of spirit, flat breath.

The rain outside is still falling, but it is not as heavy as before, it has been raining for a day and a night, in fact, it should stop, standing at the window and watching the rain, and then estimating the hour, Xu Baichuan sighed.

He just wanted to see the rain and then wait for it to stop and then find something to eat, and that's it.

But the sky did not follow people's wishes, and just as he looked into the rain, a figure suddenly appeared in the rain.

The figure appeared so plainly, it was very natural, as if it had been standing here since the opening of heaven and earth and had never left, and the reason why I didn't notice it before was because I didn't pay attention to it.

Of course this is impossible, Xu Baichuan is very sure that there is no one here, the voice has just appeared, and it is even possible that it was still thousands of miles away at the last moment, and he came to the courtyard at this moment.

Xu Baichuan rubbed his cheeks, he didn't mean to invite people in, he only had a bed and a chair here, which was simple and unlikely, how could he greet guests?

Besides, he wasn't sure if it was hospitable or bad.

However, looking at the appearance of being one with heaven and earth, whether it is good or evil, it is always very troublesome.

But trouble is trouble, it's not that you can't afford to provoke, and if you want to stand in the rain for a little longer, then stand.

There is no hurry.

Xu Baichuan untied the gourd, drank a few sips of wine, skimmed his eyes and did not look at the figure, but raised his head slightly, looking at the gradually dimming sky, as if he was looking at a rare beauty.

In fact, it is almost the same, the sunset in the rain is not the same as in the past, the dusk is mixed with the sound of the rain, coupled with the light that has not yet dissipated, I am afraid that no matter how famous the Danqing Holy Hand is difficult to depict this picture.

Heaven and earth are much better than manpower.

Of course, it would be nice to get rid of the person who is getting more and more handsome.

Xu Baichuan looked at the figure walking in the rain, unable to speak, and there was an indescribable thought echoing in his heart.

The fat old man in front of him, who seemed to be kind and mortal, seemed to be the biggest danger in the world, and in a trance, as long as he waved his hand, he could collapse the world.

Xu Baichuan knew that it was all an illusion, but it was not unusual to have this kind of illusion, he had met many people, and only a few of them could make him have this kind of hallucination.

And those people were all Sword Immortal Saints.

The fat old man in front of him is naturally not a saint sword immortal, and of course he is not a big demon, but he can also have this kind of threat, and it seems that it is not far away.

Tianmen or Fuyun?

For some reason, Xu Baichuan always leans towards the latter, and this tendency has no origin, but he feels that it should be like this.

The fat old man is wearing the clothes of the world's rich and noble, wearing a square hat on his head, and a coiling dragon crutch in his hand.

People can't look good, the sea can't fight, if you look at the appearance, I'm afraid you will die countless times.

The fat old man squinted his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth always had a kind smile, standing in the courtyard, looking at Xu Baichuan who was staying at the door of the room, and said, "It's raining heavily, can you let the old man go in to avoid the rain?"

The fat old man was only one step away from the door, if he really wanted to go in, Xu Baichuan couldn't stop him before he used the means, after all, the strong always make rules and ignore the rules, so it is very polite to ask questions like this.

Xu Baichuan didn't reply quickly, smiled, and said, "Please come in." ”

Then he turned sideways and let the fat old man in.

The fat old man walked to the room with a cane, looked at the furniture around him, and his face showed a little surprise, this room is not an exaggeration for the four walls of the house, how did this young man live?

This is what he thinks, for those who often walk between heaven and earth, the world is so big, where is not home?

I can sleep in the wilderness, in a dilapidated temple, and on a pile of thatch, but now I have such a room to sleep in, which is actually very good.

Xu Baichuan is not picky.

Xu Baichuan rummaged through the cabinet and found a cup, then poured out a glass of wine from the gourd and handed it to the fat old man, the fat old man did not refuse, he took it after saying thank you, and then drank it all, and then asked with a smile: "This is the craftsmanship of the old monkey head, it is rare, the monkey wine he brewed can be described as the first class in this white jade city, you are very knowledgeable." ”

"I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to drink some wine, it's not easy to say if I don't know the goods, green vegetables and radishes have their own loves, and they can drink and taste passable. ”

"You're open-minded. The fat old man put down his glass and continued, "Can you still live in the city?"

Xu Baichuan shrugged his shoulders, "It's okay." ”

The fat old man smiled, "It's a good achievement, if there is something unpleasant in the city, just tell the old man, you don't have to be an outsider." ”

Xu Baichuan shook his head and said nothing.

At most, there were only a few people he knew in Baiyu City, and he hadn't dealt with the fat old man before today, and now he said something like this, it must be meaningful, otherwise he wouldn't say it sooner or later, why did he say it at this time?

I still came after the sycamore tree and the laurel resonated, and I am afraid that I received some message.

The fat old man said softly, "How old are you this year?" ”

Xu Baichuan was stunned and silent, how old is this year? I don't remember very clearly, it seems that he practiced swords when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and now after five or six years, it should be twenty-three twenty-four.

It's still vibrant, and he's still a young man.

Age is not the point, but I'm afraid why the old man asks this, it can't be to get closer.

If you live longer than anyone else, who is older, then what do you do with cultivating killing methods, just meditate and maintain health, whoever lives longer will be powerful.

Xu Baichuan glanced at the fat old man, but still didn't answer.

The fat old man asked softly, "Are there any words?"

It was the word that was asked, not the name, which meant that the fat old man knew his name, and now he was asking because he wanted to know the other one.

In the practice of Confucianism, those who read books will always have a word after their real name, which can only be obtained by close relatives, and can only be told by close friends.

Xu Baichuan didn't have a word, his parents who were far away didn't give it to him, and the old Taoist priest who was half a master didn't give it to him, from birth to now, he only had such a name, the fat old man asked this, it didn't make sense, so he didn't get an answer.

The fat old man may be really kind, Xu Baichuan kept silent several times in a row, so he just smiled at it, and said to himself: " It doesn't matter if you don't say it, it's always good to be on guard against people and things, the old man is uninvited, but there are some villains, I'm sorry to you here, and rest assured, Baiyucheng has rules, it's safe and sound before it is broken, you don't have to be afraid, just think that the old man is an ordinary person, come here today, one is to see something, and the other is to see you, of course, if you are not happy, the old man will leave, and he will not cause trouble with you. ”

The fat old man paused, and continued: "Oh, I don't have a good memory, but I forgot the name of the Tao, the old man knows you, and you don't know the old man, it's not how fair it is, how difficult it is to ask for a fair way in this world, since you meet it, it's not easy to break." ”

"The old decay is called Zuoqiu Shouxin. ”

Xu Baichuan was speechless.

Zuoqiu is trustworthy, this name Xu Baichuan knows, he knew it before entering Baiyu City, and it was written on the map he got in the tavern at that time, and the city lord of Baiyucheng was Zuoqiu Shouxin.

Now that his name is revealed, Xu Baichuan is not very surprised, in fact, he knew it when Zuoqiu Shouxin first appeared, not that he had expected it, but that there was a brief description on that map.

The clothes and appearances are all the same.

Xu Baichuan nodded, said, got it.

Zuoqiu Shouxin stretched out his cup and Xu Baichuan poured another glass of wine, looked at the pale cyan liquor, smelled the aroma, and drank it all in one gulp.

A long silence ensued, neither of them spoke, only the sound of dripping rain.

Xu Baichuan looked at Zuoqiu Shouxin, and suddenly asked, "You don't come here to drink two glasses of wine and then say something inexplicable?" ”

Zuoqiu Shouxin smiled: "There is something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Saving things. ”

Zuoqiu's trustworthy words are categorical and conclusive.

Saving people, this word is a little distant in Xu Baichuan's opinion, he is good at killing people, not saving people, and now it is obvious that there is something wrong with letting him save people.

Xu Baichuan looked at the rain that was getting lighter and lighter, and asked, "Who to save?"

Since you want to save people, you have to know who it is, otherwise you will be a little foolish if you are so empty and white-toothed.

Sitting on the chair and playing with the porcelain cup in his hand, Zuoqiu Shouxin pointed out: "I don't know who it is, but that person should have the Su family." ”

Xu Baichuan sighed, "You are not lucky, the time to say it is a little late, not long ago I promised Tu Shan to kill, now you say that you want to save, a dilemma, but no matter what, the promised person in front of him, should not be so easy to lose, if it is really at that time, you will rely on means, whether you can live or not, it all depends on means, besides, it is very inappropriate for you to ask me for a promise now, in case I lose to him." ”

Zuoqiu Shouxin shook his head, his eyes flashed with a small light, and he said indifferently: "He can't beat you." ”

At this time, it's good, I don't know who it is, so I say that I can't win, and it will inevitably be too long for others to lose their prestige, and in such a short moment when he heard this, Xu Baichuan actually felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and pride.

It's weird.

Xu Baichuan stretched out his hand to lead a drop of rain, and then used his sword qi to guide it into a disorderly rotation, and it took a long time before he responded: "I am a sword cultivator." ”

"The old man knows. ”

"What I ask for is a clear conscience, say kill him, then it will, no one comes. ”

The words are plain, but the meaning is unquestionable.

Zuoqiu Shouxin shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't say anything more, just said the last few words when he got up.

"You sword cultivators are all brains, and you still say what to eat soft or not hard, now it seems that there is something wrong, it is clear that you don't eat soft and hard, and the old words have also been said, I can't persuade you, and I know that you are not afraid, I won't say those alarmist words, but in the end, please ask you one more thing, you can fight in the city, but if you want to end the life of one party, can you go out of the city, both of you have an identity, there are Sulai people who can't be provoked by the big demon and the old decay, and you can't be provoked if you have a relationship with the sword fairy, if you die in the city, the consequences will be great。 ”

The words that the feelings said before are useless things, and the last few sentences are the point.

If you want to fight out of the city, don't die with me.

The corners of Xu Baichuan's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, compared to letting go of his life, he could agree to this, anyway, it doesn't make a difference where he kills demons, and he can do it, so he nodded and said hello.

Zuoqiu Shouxin thought about it and felt that the goal had been achieved, so he didn't stop staying longer, but walked towards Tu Shanyue.

After the deceased, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and it was not good to meet before, but now it's time to meet, and then explain a few words.

Tu Shan, it's really troublesome.

Zuoqiu Shouxin suddenly regretted a little, and then sighed, thinking that if he knew such a situation, he shouldn't have taken that guy in at that time, but now he would leave a bunch of troublesome things, but he had a headache.

He continued to walk that way, and then stopped when he reached the gate of the courtyard, and then suddenly turned his head and looked in the southwest direction, his brow slightly furrowed in disbelief.

"Why is that guy here, it's enough to have a Su, and now there's a fox again, it's messy, it's really messy. ”

Zuoqiu Shouxin finished saying this in a low voice, then looked at the courtyard door, stretched out his crutch and knocked twice, and after getting a response, he walked in.

Then there was Tu Shanyue's exclamation.

Xu Baichuan stood at the door, the rain had completely stopped at this time, and the time had been postponed until nightfall.

There are a few stars hanging in the night, which is especially beautiful on the washed night.

Xu Baichuan looked at these stars, and suddenly groaned loudly: "The grass and trees are shaking, the stars are not bright, the white bones are mounds and mountains, what is the crime of the common people." ”

In the end, he laughed to himself: "It's okay to mess around, it's okay." ”
