Zhang Muliu smiled and didn't speak, but took advantage of Zhao Wuyang's wine to toast the mountain master, and said matter-of-factly: "Brother, is this mountain really not for sale?"

Zhao Wuyang took the wine and took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's not for sale, and the main reason for coming up with this method is to let those Xiaoxiao relax their vigilance, and after giving me a few years of respite, it's not so easy to bully me." ”

Wei Jiuqiansui on the side snatched the stone pier from Liu Gong's hand, walked to the stone table and sat down slowly, sighed and said: "The career of the ancestors who went all the way to Zhanbuzhou to work hard cannot be destroyed in our hands. ”

Zhang Muliu smiled and nodded, and was about to open his mouth when Qiushui handed over a look, and the woman in red obediently closed her mouth.

Li Qiushui felt early on that this guy seemed to listen to his own words, but in fact, he was in charge every time something happened. But it's okay, this girl can be a little fairy quietly. When he thought of this, he felt a chill in Qiushui's heart, and said in his heart: "Oh! How did I become like this? Little fairy? ”

The small movements of the two did not deliberately hide it, and Zhao Wuyang and Wei Jiuqiansui naturally saw what it meant. It's just that the two of them didn't mind, just a passerby, why should people help.

Zhang Muliu beckoned, called Liu Gong over to drink together, poured a glass of wine for the young man and asked with a smile: "You kid, you dare to pose for me just now with a stone pier?" Are you really afraid that I will cut off your head with a sword?"

The young man sneered, scratched his head, and said, "Of course I'm afraid, but what's the matter! You can't let me leave my brother and run away by myself, right?"

As he spoke, he took out the pipe and skillfully stuffed it in. Zhao Wuyang raised his hand and patted the young man's head, and scolded with a smile: "You guy smokes leisurely, and he has become an old smoking gun at a young age." ”

Zhang Muliu didn't care about the two of them frolicking, and continued to ask Liu Gong: "You already know that this mountain is not peaceful, right? Why don't you run?"

The young man scratched his head again, and said with a smile: "I ran away when something happened, is that still a man?" I just want to help him get through this hurdle, and then leave here, and make a break on this continent, and sooner or later I will become a real swordsman." ”

Zhang Muliu no longer spoke, but kept toasting, Zhao Wuyang also kept receiving wine, the two did not make a fist, nor did they shirk, just took the wine and drank it, and poured another bowl.

After a while, the young Liu Gong was a little drunk, and he didn't accept the wine when he handed it over, but just sat on the side, watching his mountain master drink with the young sword immortal.

Li Qiushui and Wei Jiuqiansui each sat next to their own man, and they didn't speak, just sat silently.

Zhang Muliu and Zhao Wuyang never said a word from beginning to end, they just drank and drank. When the wine stored in the mountain was almost drunk, Zhao Wuyang got up suddenly and said with a smile:

"Brother, good drink!"

The young man stood up and said with a smile: "The mountain lord is too." ”

The two of them each said a word, Zhang Muliu took Liqiushui's hand and turned around and left, without saying goodbye.

Liu Gong saw that the two were about to leave, so he stood up in a hurry, ran over to stop the two in a few steps, and begged: "Two seniors, please help Yousheshan." ”

Zhang Muliu grinned, and the young man was also very happy when he saw this, but before he could laugh, he heard the young man with the sword in front of him say:

"Why?"

The young man was a little sluggish when he heard this, and stammered, "What...... On what grounds?"

Zhang Muliu replied, "Why should I help you?"

Liu Gong slowly opened his mouth, closed it slowly, and finally just smiled bitterly, letting the two leave.

Liqiushui took Zhang Muliu's hand, walked out of the courtyard in a few steps, and slowly walked down the mountain.

Zhao Wuyang walked up to the young man, raised his fist and hammered the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What do you kid think? People are just passing by, why can they help us?"

The young man did not know how to answer, and after a while, he regained his smile and said to the mountain master: "Yes, why should we let the family help us? Besides, we may not be able to defend the mountain by ourselves! If we want to do it, we will definitely be able to do it." ”

Zhang Muliu, who had already walked far away, grinned slightly at the corners of his mouth, turned his head to Li Qiushui and said, "Do you think we should help them?"

The woman in red put her arms around the young man, also with a smile on her face, and she said softly: "Didn't you say it? Why should you help them?"

The young man laughed, suddenly made a half-squat position, took You Fang off and put it on his waist, and winked at Liqiushui.

The woman squinted at Zhang Muliu and sneered, "Do you want to eat this girl's tofu?"

Zhang Muliu nodded, his eyes were sincere, but what he was thinking in his heart was: "I still eat less?"

Li Qiushui suddenly jumped up and lay on Zhang Muliu's back, the latter pretended to stumble, his two hands quietly tightened, and regardless of the killing move that the woman on his back was about to use, a gust of wind ran towards Zhidong City.

When the young Liu Gong heard the sentence "why", he really didn't react for a while, and only then did he ask himself in his heart, "Yes, why?"

Zhao Wuyang and Wei Jiuqiansui walked back to their house, this mountain lord is really happy today, the young man who pretended to be old is higher than his own realm, but his age can't be pretended.

He said to the mountain lord's wife beside him: "Boss Wei, this kid is good, isn't it? Since I came to Zhanbuzhou, how many years have I been, and I haven't met someone as cheerful as him." ”

Wei Jiuqiansui rolled his eyes and sneered: "Boss Zhao is very good today, if that young man doesn't come, I don't know that you are hiding so much wine behind Xiao Liu's back." And since you have wine, what are you doing sending that kid down the mountain every day?

The first half of the mountain lord's words were jokes, and the second half of her words were really angry.

"What is the reputation on our mountain now, what is it like in the eyes of those monks in Zhidong City, do you have a little bit in your heart? I know that you are trying to disappoint him and let him leave by himself, but do you know that the most uncomfortable thing is not that others look down on him, but that he will slowly look down on himself. ”

Zhao Wuyang seemed to suddenly remember something, standing in place and frowning tightly. He remembered that during the Chinese New Year last year, that kid didn't go home, but in fact, it wasn't far away, and with his cultivation during the foundation building period, he could get there in a day. But he just didn't go back, and when he asked, he said he didn't want to go back.

This mountain lord felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, very uncomfortable.

Liu Gongna didn't want to go back, because he was afraid that his relatives would know that he had achieved nothing outside all these years after he went back, and he was afraid that his family would be worried after he went back, and he was afraid that his childhood playmates would look down on him after he went back.

So Zhao Wuyang turned around abruptly and went to Fang Cai's house.

Liu Gong drank some wine and lay on the bed in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. I turned my head and looked around, and there was everything in the house, but it was very messy and dirty. Clothes were also thrown on the floor, as were a few books. The young man looked at where he lived, and then turned his head to look at the deadbolt, and saw that the deadbolt was tightly inserted, and then he lifted the quilt and wrapped himself in, and the wrapped quilt and the bed were shaking and shaking, and a young man sobbed silently in the quilt.

After a while, the quilt was suddenly lifted again, and the young man straightened up at once, took out his pipe in his arms, and took out the tobacco from the bag embroidered with lotus flowers before, but a bag of cheap goods bought at a stall in Knowing Winter City.

At this time, Zhao Wuyang's voice sounded outside the door, and the mountain master, who was actually not young, roared: "Oh, I'll go, you old smoking gun, why are you hiding in the house? I want to find a female companion and tell my brother, don't hide and hurt your body!"

Liu Gong walked to the door in a few steps, opened the door, and joked to the mountain owner: "You can pull it down! Find a female companion? I asked you for a kiln and you don't have the money, right?"

Zhao Wuyang threw away a pack of tobacco, turned his head to leave, walked a few steps and stopped, his voice was very heavy:

"Boy, you can do anything, don't look down on yourself, there is still a long way to go, no matter how we pass this level, you will be alive. I've been ignoring your feelings all these years, I'm sorry, brother. ”

......

Why didn't Li Qiushui ask why? Because she knew what Zhang Muliu thought, because she knew that Zhang Muliu looked up to Zhao Wuyang and Liu Gong.

Of course you can help, it doesn't take much effort, the Yellow Court of the Water Palace has been refined, and the realm can be regarded as a little higher, although it is not as exaggerated as Qiushui, but it is also a real middle stage of the Yuan Infant, and now that I finally have Mr. Ma's swordsmanship, there is no problem at all in the realm of distraction. Of course, it is not a genius among geniuses like Jiang Mohang.

What's more, I don't stop washing my heart and sword all the way, and I have to be with Qiushui all the way.

In fact, the longer you hide it, the more dust it will fall, and the more difficult it will be to let go. With this woman by her side all the time, a lot of words have finally been spoken, and my heart will naturally be much brighter.

Ever since Zhang Muliu saw a familiar smile at the moment when Liqiushui was swallowed by the big kun, he had been very afraid, afraid that Liqiushui would be a wisp of someone else's soul like Li Yuzhen. Later, he was even more afraid, because he really liked her in his heart, and he was afraid that Qiushui would be someone else's soul. It wasn't until he was taught a good lesson by this strange woman that Zhang Muliu was a little relieved.

When the young man went out of the water pavilion, he wanted to say a word, a word of farewell to the past:

"The Mi Zhen I like is really dead. Even if there is a person who looks exactly like her in the future, it will not be her. The Liqiushui I like is the real Liqiushui, even if the memory in her mind was shoehorned into her by others, what I like is herself, not another person in her mind. ”

It wasn't until that moment that he saw countless young people who were only vague with him, and he saw a path that led to him.

Zhang Muliu would only be dressed in black when he was angry, just like the long sword behind him. Both of them were unknowingly blackened and dirty by something. You Fang stained the sword body, and Zhang Muliu stained the heart.

When You Fang first appeared, it was a long sword with a pitch-black body. After recognizing the wood flow, it faded slightly to some black. And along the way, the black has been slowly fading, because the tour party was first called Ming Rujing.

When this ancient sword was at its earliest, it could identify people, objects, demons, ghosts, and all things in the world, and break through all falsehoods.

Therefore, slowly walking the mountains and seas is not only a washing of the heart but also a washing of the sword. Sharpen the sword with the mountains and seas, and wash the heart with the mountains and seas!

And leaving Qiushui, the sword cultivation in the Hedao period, the real sword cultivation. The natal sword is ten lang water, although I don't know what the origin of that sword is, but just by virtue of its own ice attribute true intention, it can suppress the inner demon, which is not what ordinary ancient swords can have. It is only said that there is one person from Qiushui, and there is almost no opponent below the refining void, if it is only calculated according to the realm of Hedao, this woman who likes to wear red clothes is definitely invincible all over the world.

There is no need for Zhang Muliu to make a move at all, just a piece of autumn water is more than enough to protect that Youshe Mountain.

But they can't protect them, they can't just protect them in vain. You have to let that kid know that there is no such thing as nothing, and that if you want to get something, you have to give something.

No one is born to do something for others, only people who have always been willing to do something for others.

Zhang Muliu wanted Liu Gong to understand a truth. The phrase "Why?" is to ask the boy very bluntly: "Why should I help you, and on what basis should I help you?"

On the road of life, whether you are a mortal or a monk, you must remember four words: "Don't ask for anything from outside." ”

Because it has always been said that it is better to seek others than to seek oneself. If Liu Gong had stalked Zhang Muliu and the others at that time, Zhang Muliu would still agree, but he would not regard the young man as a fellow practitioner in the future.

The young man was very glad that Liu Gong did not stop him in the end, and did not ask him to stay and help Yousheshan tide over the difficulties.

In Zhang Muliu's eyes, Zhao Wuyang and that Wei Jiuqiansui are really worthy of making friends, and from beginning to end, they have not mentioned to Zhang Muliu the reason for the dilemma of giving up the mountain.

After meeting the city lord, Zhang Muliu would wait, waiting for the young man to come up with a reason to come to him.

......

From Zhidong City, it can be seen that the current situation of this Zhanbu Continent, there are a lot of monks, but at most it is a foundation, even the lord of a city can only be a Jindan monk, the local Jindan, it can only be good-looking, looking at people. The local monks of Zhanbuzhou are really inferior to dogs below the Yuan Baby. Therefore, Zhanbu Continent is the continent with the least major repairs, but the most monks and sects, except for the holy land of the three sects, the highest state on the bright side, that is, refining the void. Therefore, the short shopkeeper in the small shop in Jumping River City is estimated to be the top monk on the top of the mountains and rivers in this continent.

Most of the young genius monks went to Bean Soldier City and went to the southern sea to punch and sword. It was also the only place where the monks of Zhanbu Continent who had no big background could come out, and the monsters they killed could be exchanged for a certain amount of resources, and it was said that those monsters could refine something very valuable, and there were merchant ships on all continents that kept transporting resources to the border cities, in order to exchange for those things. But what is it, Zhang Muliu is not in a hurry to know, why not kill him a few heads?

These battlefields are very fascinating to Zhang Muliu, as if he has returned to the dream world when he is wearing armor with people and killing demons. It's just that it is said that there is no legion in these border cities, and those who are willing to contribute in ordinary battles are to cross the sea to the battlefield. If there is a high realm among the monsters, the Bean Soldier City will be a little more restrained, but it will not be forced to order who to do it.

Since the completion of Doubing City, all the residents in the city have been foreigners, and most of the outsiders have become locals over time.

All the way down, there is a monk hill on the bank of the Zhuqu River, and Zhang Muliu wants to visit it, because the name of that mountain is called Ridgeback Mountain. The cattle in the alley once mentioned the back mountain.

......

Zhang Muliu carried the autumn water all the way down the mountain, and only reluctantly put the woman down when he arrived in the city. Before he could walk a few steps forward, a square-faced middle-aged man dressed in white came from not far away, and merchants on both sides of the street went out and shouted Lao Fang.

It seems that this person is the city lord Fang Zong.

Mr. Fang walked slowly in a few steps, and asked with a smile: "This son is surnamed Zhang?"

Zhang Muliu nodded and said with a smile: "Shengshen Continent Zhang Beigu, I have seen the Fang City Lord. ”

Li Qiushui watched quietly from the side, and outside, of course, Zhang Muliu was in charge of everything.

Hearing this, Mr. Fang stepped forward with a strange look in his eyes: "Twenty years ago, there was also a swordsman surnamed Zhang who passed by Zhidong City, and there was also an extremely good-looking woman who followed him. ”

Zhang Muliu didn't hide it, and said directly: "The person that City Lord Fang has seen may be my father and mother. Twenty years ago, they traveled to Zhanbu Island with a friend. ”

The city lord said strangely: "More than that, right? Back then, I was on the sea outside Doubing City, but I saw two swordsmen, a female cultivator of the Yin and Yang family, and a young man who didn't know where to go. ”

Zhang Muliu smiled: "Then the other may be my master." ”

With a big move, a carriage appeared out of thin air on the street, and four white horses pulled a cart, which was very luxurious and huge.

He smiled and said, "The two of you, please get in the car and talk after moving to the City Lord's Mansion." ”

Zhang Muliu nodded and smiled, took Qiushui's hand a few steps and got into the carriage. The four hooves of the white horse pulling the cart in front interacted, and after a few steps, they went to the city lord's mansion, not far away, only dozens of miles.

Li Qiushui in the carriage couldn't help but say: "The realm of this city lord is not high, and there are a lot of tricks." ”

Zhang Muliu smiled faintly, and said to the woman beside him: "He and that Zhao Wuyang are both monks who can step into the Yuan infant stage with one foot in the door, I estimate that this city lord is working hard to hide it, and it is also to help on the day of the great disaster of Youshe Mountain." ”

Li Qiushui asked: "Then in your opinion, what is the highest realm that can come? If the Void Refining Cultivator comes, and he is still a native monk of Zhanbu Continent, even if we make a move, it will not be of much use." ”

The carriage had stopped, and in front of it was the City Lord's Mansion. Zhang Muliu stood up and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Dingtian is also a period of integration, it is nothing more than a seedling of the Zhanbu tree hidden in the mountain, even if the cultivator snatches it, he will have to wait for thousands of years, so the great monk is not worth going for a seedling, gambling on the future catastrophe when the demon in his heart is more." ”

This city lord's mansion is built very simply, saying that it is the city lord's mansion, but in fact, it is just a three-entry house, ordinary, and even not as good as the atmosphere of the family.

The two followed a maidservant into the backyard, and Mr. Fang had already set up the tea table and sat quietly in the middle of the courtyard. Seeing a pair of young people approaching, he slowly got up and made a gesture to sit down.

"Being able to stay in Youshe Mountain for so long shows that Zhang Gongzi is also a good drinker, otherwise with the temper of Wuyang, you would have been angry and run away. ”

Zhang Muliu smiled and didn't speak after sitting down, Mr. Fang smiled bitterly and turned his eyes to look around.

With a wave of Qiushui's hand, a light blue barrier enveloped the courtyard. I saw the woman in red say lightly: "If you have anything, just say it, under the refining void, the people who can peek through my enchantment will not exceed one hand in this world." ”

Zhang Muliu smiled the side, and Fang was stunned by one sentence.

Mr. Fang paused for a moment before he smiled bitterly: "I only know a little bit about those seniors back then. I only know that after the first battle of Doubing City, the senior surnamed Zhang and a swordsman who looked crazy and crazy, perhaps Zhang Gongzi's master, the two of them teamed up to destroy a cargo ship on a hill in the north of Zhanbu Continent, and later they were wanted by Yizhou and plastered with arrest notices. ”

Li Qiushui can be regarded as knowing the reason for the catch, turned his head to look at the young man in a green shirt, and said secretly in his heart: "This family, from father and mother to son, is really not worry-free. ”

Zhang Muliu was even more incredulous, his father had always been serious, and he would do this kind of thing?

So the young man in a green shirt coughed vigorously and said to Mr. Fang: "The city lord should talk about the matter of Sheshan." After a trip to the mountain, the breath of Zhan Bushu can't hide from me, is someone deliberately robbing it, or is he Zhao Wuyang messing with someone?"

Mr. Fang smiled when he heard this, handed over the teacups to the two of them respectively, and said after a moment of silence: "That guy Wuyang is too stubborn, since he didn't open his mouth to ask you for help, then I can't say anything." When the time comes, if he is a real enemy, someone on our side will accompany him to his death. ”

The city lord suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Zhang Muliu, and said in a deep voice: "I don't ask the two of you to help, I just ask the two of you to rescue Liu Gong when we are defeated." That kid has not been easy all these years, and besides, he is very young, so he shouldn't have died with us like this. ”

Zhang Muliu was actually a little disappointed, in the end, it was a local monk in Zhanbuzhou, where was Zhao Wuyang and that Wei Jiu,000 years old. Didn't you just want us to help you when you invited the two of us to the City Lord's Mansion?

So Zhang Muliu stood up and said, "Look!"

After speaking, he took Liqiushui's hand and turned his head to leave, leaving only the city lord smiling bitterly in place. He sat down slowly, raised his teacup and drank tea as if he were drinking, and said to himself:

"It's self-defeating!"

As soon as Zhang Muliu came out of the City Lord's Mansion, he bent down and squatted down again, patting his back and constantly signaling to Liqiushui.

The woman in red tugged at the corners of her mouth, kicked the young man's buttocks, and then jumped towards the city with her hands behind her back.

Zhang Muliu stood up and looked at the City Lord's Mansion, shook his head gently, and said in his heart:

"Compared to Zhao Wuyang, this party is really far behind. As soon as he opened his mouth, he looked like he was begging for death, he was indeed willing to block the knife for Zhao Wuyang, and was willing to take a hand when Yousheshan was in danger. But it's too cunning, and Zhao Wuyang begged for death together?

......
