Yaoshan, located at the southernmost point of the Western Chu Kingdom, was also the southernmost Nan'an County of the Eastern Shengguo after being annexed by the Eastern Shengguo. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the mountain is full of periwinkle trees, reflecting the whole mountain in fiery red, and a waterfall in the middle of the mountain flows down, crashing into the deep pool under the mountain, making a loud noise. Thick inky clouds swirled around the mountains, and when seen through the clouds, the looming peaks of the mountains seemed to be as smooth as if they had been slashed by sharp blades.

After more than a month of travel, Xu Zhaonan and the others finally came to the foot of Yao Mountain.

Gu Sihai looked at Xu Zhaonan, who was looking up at the top of the mountain with all his might, and said with a smile: "The place on the top of the mountain is not so smooth, it was flattened by the master's sword back then. ”

Xu Zhaonan's eyes showed a look of shock, and he leveled the top of the mountain with a sword, there is such a powerful person in this world. Then I was fascinated by the thought of how good it would be if I could be one-tenth of his strength in this life, no, one percent of his power.

"Uncle Gu, who is the master you are talking about, he is so powerful. Xu Zhaonan said respectfully.

"Hahaha!"

Gu Sihai laughed out loud and said, "The master of my family is the Emperor Uncle of Western Chu, the sword god Bai Xifeng, who was once one of the five great grandmasters. At that time, Xichu was lost, and the master knew that the general trend had gone, so he brought the young master and us here, leveled the top of the mountain with a sword, and let us live here in peace. This Yao Mountain is dangerous, thousands of troops will not come immediately, and the great master will not be able to make trouble coming to us people, ordinary people can wait for us to deal with it, and it can be regarded as leaving a way out for us. Alas......"

Gu Sihai remembered everything when his master was alive, and turned into a sigh.

"Uncle Emperor of Western Chu?!"

"Sword God Baixi Wind?!"

Xu Zhaonan let out two exclamations in succession, and said in disbelief: "I heard Mr. Storyteller outside the teahouse before, the imperial uncle Bai Xifeng and the sword armor Zuo Yuanfang of the Western Chu Kingdom, the spear madness Guan Baisheng of the Eastern Shengguo, the Confucian Sage Situ Qun of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, and the sword idiot Zhao Qi of the Ten Thousand Sword Tombs of the Western Regions, are all the five great masters in the world. He's the most powerful person in the world!"

"The most powerful person in the world...... Yes, the master should be the most powerful person in the world. It's a pity that when the master and Zhao Chop competed, they were defeated and injured, and when the injury was not healed, he went to Ruoshui City to find the sword armor Zuo Yuanfang, but he was finally defeated by him......"

Gu Sihai was a little distracted, thinking of his master's demeanor back then, what an outstanding demeanor, a fairy-like character, how could he end up like this, it was really providential.

"That ......"

Xu Zhaonan remembered one thing, and found that his little head was a little insufficient, so he stopped talking: "That day, the Dongsheng official we met, why did Uncle Gu save them......

Gu Sihai held his head and thought about it, and suddenly said: "That day, didn't you kid see other people's girls being handsome and beg me in every possible way to save them? Speaking of which, people should be saved by you, but not me." ”

After that, he winked at Xu Zhaonan.

Xu Zhaonan's mouth opened wide, his face turned red, and it turned out that the embarrassment he showed when he looked at the official lady that day all fell in Gu Sihai's eyes.

"Not really!"

Xu Zhaonan said eagerly: "That day, it was obviously the group of robbers who wanted to attack us, so Uncle Gu took their lives, Uncle Gu...... Uncle Gu said the same thing to that official! Besides, I'm ...... How can I be as powerful as Uncle Gu, with a finger of my hand, the bandit leader is dead, and the person was saved by Uncle Gu! Also, I ...... I didn't...... I didn't look at other people's daughters......"

The voice gradually lowered, and the white little face turned red.

"Hahahaha!"

Looking at Xu Zhaonan, who was teased a little incoherently in front of him, Gu Sihai got a little better, and said with a smile: "Hey, my fair lady, what a gentleman." I see that little Nizi was born so smart when she was still young, and she will be a beautiful woman who will captivate the country and the city when she grows up. It's just that...... It's a little early for you to think about these things at such a young age. ”

Gu Sihai looked Xu Zhaonan up and down, shook his head, and let out a slug sound from his mouth.

"Uncle Gu!"

Xu Zhaonan was a little anxious.

"Okay, okay, I won't amuse you. ”

Gu Sihai waved his hand and said with a straight face: "You want to ask, since that person is an official of Dongshengguo, he should be our enemy, why did I save him, but I didn't kill him, right?"

Xu Zhaonan nodded.

Gu Sihai sighed: "Alas, yes, the death of Western Chu was indeed the joint action of Dongsheng and Northern Zhou, but it was also because the two countries had already seen that the fortunes of Western Chu had been exhausted and the people's hearts were scattered, so they dared to do this." If I resented all the people of the two countries because of this, there are so many people in this world, can I kill them? After all, I am just a man of the rivers and lakes, and the master said back then, the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes, and he did the same......

After a pause, Gu Sihai stared at Xu Zhaonan's eyes and admonished: "Otherwise, if you can act recklessly by relying on your own cultivation, wouldn't this emperor be the strongest person in the world?"

Xu Zhaonan nodded, his expression was a little understood.

Gu Sihai didn't care whether the young Xu Zhaonan could really understand it, his eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and then said: "Originally, there was a master sitting in Xichu, even if the emperor was mediocre and incompetent, he would not have the worry of destroying the country, but the emperor listened to slander, looked at the master's cultivation to a high level, and was afraid that the master would rob him of the throne, so he embarrassed the master everywhere, so the master left Xichu in anger, and took us to travel around, fighting the sword rivers and lakes." He didn't think about it well, although the master was an imperial uncle, he claimed to be a man in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't even ask for a reward for the throne, and second, he never had anything to do with the powerful people of the dynasty, so he must not be in the court, how could he be rare on the throne. ”

While he was talking, an old woman on crutches walked out of the mountain, with a coarse linen dress and a few patches, and an old peasant woman dressed as a basket of freshly picked wild fruits in her hand, and walked slowly towards the two.

When Gu Sihai saw this person, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Granny Sun, why are you here?"

Granny Sun ignored it, just looked up and down at Xu Zhaonan, who was standing beside Gu Sihai, and asked, "Whose child is this? Why did you bring him back to the mountain?"

Gu Sihai said: "When I went out this time, I was slightly injured, and being rescued by this child can be regarded as fate." After careful questioning, he learned that the child was alone and begging for a living, so he brought him back, wanting the young master to keep him, which was considered to give him a place to live. ”

Grandma Sun's eyes flashed, although Gu Sihai said it lightly, but this little girl knew at a glance that he had never practiced martial arts, and he was obviously powerless, but he could save Gu Sihai's life, and it was conceivable how badly Gu Sihai was injured at that time.

Granny Sun raised her hand and said to Gu Sihai: "Stretch out." ”

Gu Sihai also reacted, knowing that he was speechless, and said curtly: "A little injury, it's long gone." ”

Despite this, he still stretched out his left hand and asked Grandma Sun to check his pulse.

After checking it, Granny Sun nodded and said, "Well, the recovery is not slow, I ran alone to find the apprentice of the sword armor to grab the sword, and I was under the hands of the three of us, and I can come back alive, which can really be regarded as a slight injury." ”

Hearing this, Gu Sihai was a little surprised, and said, "Grandma Sun, why are you ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Granny Sun raising her hand: "The old man heard from the people in the town under the mountain a few days ago, someone snatched the sword of the sixth disciple of the sword armor Zuo Zhou, and also floated away under the joint pursuit of the fifth disciple Zuo Yu and the seventh disciple Zuo Hong, two first-class masters...... Grab things from the hands of juniors and put what you can. ”

At this time, Gu Sihai listened to Granny Sun's reprimand honestly, and did not dare to refute at all, where was there still a master who killed the Quartet on the pipeline.

Grandma Sun reprimanded a few words, raised her eyes and looked at the long strip-like bag on Gu Sihai's back, sighed lightly, then let Gu Sihai ignore it, turned her head to Xu Zhaonan and said kindly: "Child, how old is this year?"

Xu Zhaonan replied honestly: "More than ten years old. ”

Grandma Sun groaned for a while and said, "I am a little thinner, perhaps due to a lack of food and clothing all year round." ”

As he spoke, he took out a wild fruit from the blue and handed it to Xu Zhaonan, and said with a smile: "Eat it." Where did you live before......?

In the latter words, Grandma Sun didn't ask again, and she guessed the result after thinking about it, and she couldn't bear to stimulate the child again.

Xu Zhaonan took the fruit handed by Granny Sun, thanked him, and then told Granny Sun about his life experience.

"Alas......" Granny Sun touched Xu Zhaonan's hair and said, "They are all hard-working people." Well, come up the mountain with me. ”

After saying that, he turned around and took the lead towards the mountain.

The mountain road was rugged, and it was not convenient to walk the horse, so Gu Sihai took the bag from the horse's back and put it in his hand, patted the horse's buttocks, and after releasing it back into the mountains and forests, he led Xu Zhaonan to follow.

After walking for half a day, a group of three people came to the top of the mountain, and as far as the eye could see, the thick clouds were floating under their feet, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Not far away, several acres of fields are spread on the top of the mountain, some fields have grown a lot of vegetables, and several thatched huts are dotted among them, which is a fairyland on earth.

A girl in white stands in the fairyland, her shoulders are as narrow as a cut, her waist is as thin as a bundle, the collar reveals a touch of white cream, her hair is even more black when tied to the back of her head by a white ribbon, her long eyebrows are slightly curved, her red lips are fresh, a light blue belt hangs around her waist, and the wide sleeves on both sides sway gently in the wind, as if she is a fairy who falls on the mortal dust.

At this moment, the girl in white was standing there quietly, looking at the three people who came up the mountain.

The three of them walked forward, and Gu Sihai was about to bow down, when the fairy in white spoke first: "Uncle Gu is back, there is no need to be polite." ”

Gu Sihai still finished saluting before he spoke: "The old slave went down the mountain this time, which made the young master worried. It is all blessed by the spirit of the master in the sky, and the old slave has no danger on this trip, and he successfully brought back the master's relics. ”

With that, he took off his backpack and handed it to the girl in white with both hands.

The girl in white stretched out her slightly trembling hands to take over the bag, gently untied it, held the hilt of the sword and pulled out the "immortality" wrapped in linen, her eyes were a little red.

The sword has a spirit, as if it knows that it is back in the hands of its master, and it trembles and lets out a clear groan.

The girl in white instantly turned red, staring at the divine sword she was holding in both hands, stunned.

After a long time, a tear slipped down the corner of his eye and turned into a sigh.

"Uncle Gu has suffered this trip, let's go back to the house and rest first. ”

The girl in white turned her face sideways, not wanting to be seen like this.

"Young master, the old slave still has something to say, please make a decision for the young master. ”

When the girl in white heard this, she raised her hand and wiped it on her face, before she turned her head and looked at Gu Sihai with inquiring eyes.

Gu Sihai pulled Xu Zhaonan, who was a little at a loss, and introduced: "Young master, this child's name is Xu Zhaonan, and he is also a descendant of Western Chu. The old slave had the help of this child, and after careful questioning, he learned that he had no relatives at home, and the old slave could not bear to see him wandering alone, so he took him back to the mountain and wanted to ask the young master to take him in. ”

Only then did the girl in white notice Xu Zhaonan who was standing aside, and glanced at her lightly, seeing that Xu Zhaonan clenched her small fists in her sleeves a little nervously.

The girl in white said softly: "If you don't dislike this barren mountain and wilderness, then stay here." ”

A snowflake slowly fell on the top of Yao Mountain.

Winter in Jiangnan is coming.
