The scenery of Hongze Lake is still the same, the sun in early winter hangs high in the sky, Mo Yu was supported by Yan Zhi, and finally came to the door, panting, looking at the sky, and said coldly: "Thank you for your help." ”

"No thanks. Chu Xunyu knew that Mo Yu was indifferent by nature and didn't like to make friends, so it was not easy to say the word "thanks", so after thinking about it, he asked again: "What is the matter with Brother Hu's cultivation?

"He?" Mo Yu's expression was obvious for a moment, and then he returned to indifference, "I don't know very well, but don't worry, it's no big deal, I'll be back in a few days, it's an old problem." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Chu Xunyu's expression was also stunned, this is really a strange thing, in this world, how can there be such a thing as cultivation suddenly disappearing and suddenly coming back? But since Mo Yu said so, he must know what the inside story is, "That is the case, then I will say goodbye to my friends here, and we will take the first step." ”

"I don't send it. ”

Before leaving, Chu Xunyu turned his head specially, looked at the little girl with Yanzhi beside him, and said calmly: "Little sister, we'll see you another day." ”

"Okay. Yan Zhi shook her little hand with a grin, "Big brother, let's see you another day, let's go." ”

After saying goodbye, the three of them went down the mountain, walked on the lush forest path, and asked thoughtfully: "Chu Xiaoyou, do you see anything unusual about this little girl Yanzhi?"

"This girl is really weirdly tight. ”

"Oh, do you see something?"

"Nope. ”

"It's not nonsense. Mu Yuan, who listened to Mu Yuan for a long time, got such an answer, and almost turned his back on his back angrily.

"I didn't see a problem, but it became a problem. Chu Xunyu explained seriously, "Let me ask, what was the magical method of the woman in black that day?"

"Unfathomable. Wangchen responded with certainty.

"That's right, Yan Zhi is just a mortal, in the case of Wangchen's predecessor and Mo Yu being seriously injured at the same time, how can she? How can she be able to retreat with her whole body? Isn't this weird? Even with the blessing of 'Ten Thousand Clouds and a Sea of Clouds', she can actually not be injured at all? This doesn't make sense, and more importantly, I think Mo Yu's injury, although it is serious, but it is not fatal, and like Wangchen's predecessor, the fatal killing moves have been blocked, which is very revealing. ”

"That's it. Mu Yuan nodded, "The words are also reasonable, why don't we go back now and take her down?"

"No need. Chu Xunyu smiled confidently, "I've been observing for a long time, this Yanzhi girl seems to be paying attention to us everywhere, it seems that even if we go to the north, she will follow, we will be quiet, do the boat like a boat down the river, let her develop freely, I am very curious, what can she sing in the next opera." ”

"What about Hu Xiaolin?" Wangchen thought for a moment, "Mo Yu said that Hu Xiaolin's cultivation will come back by himself, this is really strange, Chu Xiaoyou, you have practiced medicine for many years, have you ever seen such a strange situation?"

"Hu Xiaolin's matter, I already have a guess, but this speculation is too absurd, it's not easy to say, when we go to the north, Yanzhi will definitely lead Mo Yu over, once Mo Yu arrives, Hu Xiaolin will definitely not be far away, observe a few more times, I can be sure." ”

"Well, then, the plan remains the same, and we will leave for the north at once. ”

The three of them said as they walked, they had come to the foot of the mountain, and they wanted to still ride forward, but the three horses were unexpectedly staggered, looking sluggish and listless, it seemed that Chu Xunyu's medicine had taken effect, and now these mortal horses had overdrawn their physical strength, and they had no choice but to rest.

Seeing such a situation, the three of them sighed secretly, fortunately, not far from Laozi Mountain, there was a market, and they bought three strong horses as foot strength, but this time they did not feed the elixir to avoid the situation of pulling out the seedlings again.

The three of them rode slowly, not in a hurry, there was a word on the road, rushed to Xuzhou, as long as they arrived in Xuzhou, they arrived in northern Jiangsu, and officially stepped into the northern realm. Along the way, watching the sun go north and playing with the winter color of the whip is also a special taste. If there is a restaurant, stop the horse and drink two sips, if the horse is tired, sit down and rest for a while, from time to time to a couplet, occasionally singing a yuan song, singing a poem, but also leisurely, Wangchen transformed his face, became an ordinary person's appearance, to others to see, and thought that the three of them were walking together, out to play the three sons and brothers.

"It's a cold winter day, and geese fly south. Mu Yuan said happily on the horse, "What do you think of the beginning of my seven words?"

"Vulgar!" Chu Xunyu still commented like this, "It's unbearable to be vulgar." ”

"Here you go again, Ye Langzhong, you say the next sentence, I'll listen to see how elegant it is. ”

"Why is this difficult? Just open your mouth, listen well, I'll give the next sentence, and the horse will lightly step on the hooves to leave a fragrance. ”

"But Erl. ”

"Naturally, you can't hear anything, so if you have the ability, you can catch up. After speaking, Chu Xunyu rode his horse and galloped forward.

"Ha, look at how my horse is galloping. Mu Yuan was not to be left behind, and immediately caught up.

In this way, laughing and scolding all the way, chasing the sun to fall, putting on the stars and moon on his shoulders, and catching the rising sun, a few days later, he came to the gate of Xuzhou. Xuzhou, located in the lower reaches of the Huai River, with the ancient road of the Yellow River as the watershed, has always been a place where soldiers must fight, strategically, has a pivotal position, known as the capital of the nine dynasties.

There have been many celebrities here, such as Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who said "How much sorrow can you have, just like a river flowing eastward", how much bitterness is expressed, how many tears are sung, and Fan Zhongyan, who is "worried about the world first, and happy after the world", let future generations recite his noble plot.

Standing outside the city gate, the three of them sighed for a long time, because of the important strategic location here, so during the war between the two dynasties, you fought for me, and the damage was a mess and full of devastation, but now the world is settled, and this place is gradually recovering its vitality.

The three of you sang to me, recalling the past for a long time, before slowly dismounting and stepping into the city with the flow of people.

"Wait!" a guard at the city gate stopped them, "how many of you are from a foreign country?"

Chu Xunyu took a look, it turned out to be a guy with a big belly and a round waist, with a saber hanging from his waist, looking at the three of them with slanted eyes, so he replied: "Yes, we are from a foreign country, and we are passing by today." ”

"Oh? The fat official nodded, circled around them, and said with a smile, "In the past few days, the court has offered a reward for the arrest of criminals, you, hehe." ”

"En?" The three of them didn't know why, they saw it from afar, there were sea fishing documents posted on the city wall, but what does this have to do with them? Chu Xunyu saw the opportunity quickly, knowing that this person was borrowing the topic to play and begging for money to buy the road, so he took out a piece of silver and said with a smile: "Official, we are really from a foreign country." ”

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, I see that you are relatives from other countries. The fat official took the silver and smiled, "Go into the city, go in." ”

"Which yamen are you from, and what is your name?" Wangchen suddenly asked coldly.

"What, looking for something?" the fat official glared.

"Let's go, let's go. Chu Xunyu pulled him and was about to leave.

"Hmph. Wangchen glanced back dissatisfiedly, and whispered, "How can this be reasonable, when I return to the royal capital in the future, I must go to the prime minister's theory and how to manage the officials in the world." ”

"What?" Although the voice was small, it still made the fat official hear, and the fat man glared, "Boy, don't be ashamed, and you still have to go to see the prime minister? ”

"Yes!" When several of the soldiers around heard this, they immediately lowered their spears and surrounded them, and they wanted to take them.

"It's over. Chu Xunyu sighed, isn't this nothing to look for, and you can't do anything to these mortals, this is really jumping into the sea with a stone and drowning alive.

"Haha, it's fun. Mu Yuan laughed.

"Are you crazy, are you going to jail, is it fun?" Chu Xunyu complained to him.

"Hey, you don't know. Mu Yuan frowned and said, "The Mortal Palace, the Immortal Daomen, I have lived everywhere, but I haven't been to this prison, it's interesting, let's go in and have fun." ”

"Crazy!"

"Yes, that's right. Wangchen also nodded in agreement, "I want to see how the prison system is, and it is also the fortune of the world that I calculated, so I have to experience it myself, whether I am responsible for the people of the world." ”

"Crazy, you two are crazy, I don't know you. Chu Xunyu's eyes rolled, for the cell, he was abolished and repaired back then, and the scene of being put into the prison is still vivid, he doesn't like the cell.

In the past few years, there are people chasing everything, but I have never heard of chasing and taking the initiative to close the prison, I am really speechless for a while, but there is no way, who let these two crazy people run into them? I had to obediently reach out and hang the chain, and was dragged away by the officer, after the big deal is to go in, I am quietly coming out at night, anyway, this mortal prison cell can't trap them.

Dozens of soldiers were familiar with the road, and they walked with them, turning around all the way, entering the county jail, pushing open the dark cell door, and seeing the cell head sitting at the table, chatting with a few jailers, when a small soldier approached and shouted, "The prisoner has come." ”

"What a mistake. The cell boss squinted and asked nonchalantly.

"Fight against our boss. ”

"Haha, okay, come, close it for a few days. The cell boss threw the key, "It seems that he is also a scholar, okay, second son, open a private room and close these people." ”

"Okay!" the other jailer took the key, and said with a smile, "Come, you guys, come with me." After saying that, he dragged them all the way and locked them in the so-called private room.

said that it was a single room, but it was still dark and damp, a mess of straw, the three of them reluctantly bowed their heads and entered the wooden door, and the jailer smiled: "Scholars, just study hard, don't be cynical, bump into the official, aren't you looking for death, don't worry, lock you up for a few days, and then talk about it after a long time." ”

Chu Xunyu glanced at him helplessly, saw him walking away, sat down, and complained: "Okay, now you are satisfied, you are satisfied, you two are also the first in the world." ”

"Haha, I haven't seen it, of course I want to meet it, it's fun. Mu Yuan smiled and sat opposite each other, "Don't say it, it really has a different flavor, how about we use this as a topic to write a poem?"

"It's over, you're so crazy, I don't fight with madmen. Chu Xunyu turned his head helplessly, not wanting to pay attention to him.

"Huh, brothers of the Chu family, are you here too?" a familiar voice came from next door.

As soon as the three of them turned around, this "next-door neighbor" was none other than Gao Wei, who had not been seen for a long time, but with a sad face and a heavy shackle on his tall body......

Mu Yuan laughed: "What a coincidence, Brother Galway, you also come here to play." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Chu Xunyu glanced at him, Gao Wei was mortal, how could he say the word "play", he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Gao, I haven't seen you for many days, why did you get here?"

Gao Wei sighed, sat down, and said through the wooden railing, "They say I kill people." ”

"Huh, you killed someone?"

"No, no!" Gao Wei shook his hand again and again aggrievedly, brought up the chain and rattled, suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed in surprise, "I remember, you are immortals, you will definitely be able to help me clear my name, not the person I killed, it was killed by ghosts, or it was killed by monsters, I saw it with my own eyes, they didn't believe it, they insisted on saying that it was me, but you have to believe me, I didn't lie to you, what I said was the truth." ”
