Under Alain's careful care, Fang Xiaowen recovered well in the next few days. The boy named Nian En was visibly better and better-looking, like his mother, with big eyes. The days in Yaozhai were calm and waveless, Fang Xiaowen began to like here, she was born in a poor family, it was like returning to the original time, looking for all kinds of beauty in the plain. Only now, she is a mother.

She was trying to forget about the previous events, forget about the man, and even began to regret her hasty decision. She is not ashamed and ashamed of her regrets, she has worked hard, and even played the role of a mother in front of the cowardly emperor, but there are some things that are difficult for a woman to control after all. She didn't owe the emperor anything, and when he died, she was ready to die, but for the sake of the child in her womb, for the sake of the once hot emotions between them, she decided to try again, at least to give birth to a child for him.

Wu Xiu's appearance gave her hope for life and made her feel at ease and relaxed. Before, she had never felt that she had to rely on anyone, even if the man she used to be was the emperor.

But when Wu Xiu appeared, it was different, and she began to feel that she was so dependent on him.

The two people who were injured by the tiger last time still need to recuperate, so this time with Wu Xiu, there are a total of four people. She was about to leave in the morning, Alan got up very early and prepared a sumptuous breakfast for Vientiane and Wu Xiu, if she hadn't been explicitly forbidden to worship her ancestors and Yao God, then she should have an ancestral tablet and a hanging statue of Yao God in her home now. In Yao Village, hunting is a sacred thing, is a big event, before men go out hunting, women have to bathe and change clothes, with raw meat to worship the ancestors and the Yao god, hoping to get the protection of the ancestors and the gift of the Yao god.

But now, Alan and Vientiane, who have lost their identity as Yao people, and Vientiane and Wu Xiu, who are not Yao people, are simply gathered around a table and eat the food that Alan prepared for them to meditate.

Fang Xiaowen walked out of the room, wrapped the jerky on the table, and said softly: "You have to be careful, just run when you encounter danger, don't be reckless." ”

Vientiane quipped, "Sister Xiaowen, I will definitely protect Wu Xiu well, you can rest assured!"

Fang Xiaowen lowered her head and smiled, "Brother Vientiane, if you don't dislike it, when you come back, I will let Nian'en kowtow to you, and from now on, you will be Nian'en's godfather." ”

Vientiane glanced at Alan and said with a smile: "Then I will beat a long-toothed wolf and use the wolf's teeth to make a necklace for my godson!"

Fang Xiaowen nodded with a smile, then looked at Wu Xiu and asked, "Is your injury healed?"

"It's all right, you take care of yourself these days, maybe when I come back, we'll have to leave. Wu Xiu said.

"Well, I'll wait for you. ”

Nian En began to cry, and Fang Xiaowen went back to the room. When he was about to leave, Chen Sidao came back from early practice and said that he would also go with him, this time Wu Xiu never let go, and later Alan persuaded him: "Sister Sidao, you just stay at home and help the family, there is no man in the family, in case you encounter a thief and snitch, you can also protect us with the martial arts taught by your master." ”

Seeing that it was no fun, Chen Sidao returned to his room in a huff and closed the door with a bang.

Wu Xiu said loudly to the door: "Don't listen to the master's words? I can't relax in the past few days when I've been gone, when I come back, I'm going to try the trick, and I won't accept mercy when the time comes." ”

Chen Sidao said viciously: "One day I will defeat you!"

Wu Xiu and Vientiane glanced at each other and laughed, "Okay, I'll wait for that day! ”

There was no more talk in the room. Wu Xiu and Vientiane left the house with a bow and a quiver on their backs, and went to the gate of Yaozhai to meet the remaining two. Wu Xiu thought about taking Han Xue with him, but after what happened some time ago and Han Xue had a conversation with him, Wu Xiu didn't want to rely on Han Xue everywhere anymore. Now he is also a martial artist in the Convergence Realm, and the most tangible weapon of a martial artist has to be his fist.

At the gate of Yaozhai, Wu Xiu saw two other people, and heard Vientiane say that it was father and son, and said in private that those who could go hunting with him were basically the last Yao people of Yaozhai, who belonged to the people who could not enjoy the resources of Yaozhai and had to rely on their own hands to support themselves.

Wu Xiu sighed: "Why is this kind of remote mountainous area that has not been impregnated by secular dynasties, there are also those three, six, nine and so on, and it is really where there are people, there is inequality." ”

Vientiane said lightly: "It's normal." ”

The father's name is Anne, and the son's name is Antyre.

Annet was very dull and didn't say anything all the way, Antell was a very strong boy, but like his father, he didn't like to talk, and his face was resolute.

The road into the mountain still needs to walk a day, first arrive at the temporary grass hut, rest in the grass hut for a day, and then walk for half a day, you can reach the suitable hunting ground, the four will be separated in pairs, it is enough to meet the two beasts that are easy to deal with, if you encounter some large beasts, you have to blow the special silver whistle of Yaozhai, and the other two will rush over in time to help.

Wu Xiu asked, "Have you heard of it, demon?"

Vientiane pondered, "You're talking about demon beasts?"

Wu Xiu shook his head and said, "The demon I'm talking about is the kind of demon that looks like us." ”

Vientiane said: "I heard the old man of Yaozhai talk about it, but I haven't seen it." ”

Wu Xiu recalled: "I have seen it, it is a woman, a very beautiful woman. She is a fox demon, which is what everyone calls a fox spirit. Moreover, the world's cultivation sects are divided into four schools, and the demon path is also among them. ”

There are four schools of thought, Wu Xiu has been in contact with them, for example, Chen Dingdu is a typical immortal monk, the ghost path has Zhu Xiaokui and his ghost path grandmaster grandfather, and the ghost path is the ghost path of Huang Sanduo, the demon path is the fox demon Zhang Xiaolian of the He family of Xinyue County, as for the demon road, Wu Xiu has felt a lot, and has felt the desire to fight brought to him by the demonic energy, and his gun is also a typical demon weapon.

Vientiane asked, "In other words, these beasts can cultivate into sane demon beasts after a long time, and after slowly cultivating, they can transform into human form?"

Wu Xiu nodded, "Maybe that's the case, but not all demons are heinous, such as the fox demon I saw, it's very good." ”

Vientiane said, "Fairy goblin, what a good goblin." Then he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Do you think it's possible that some demons in human form are hiding around us, and we don't know it?"

Wu Xiu thought for a moment and nodded, "It's possible." ”

Vientiane frowned and thought, but in the end he didn't speak.

In the evening, the four decided to rest in the thatched hut for one night and hurry again at dawn. So Wu Xiu first kept vigil, after all, it was deep in the forest, and he had to guard against the surprise attack of wild beasts at all times. Wu Xiu wandered outside the grass hut alone, and he couldn't see even a little moonlight in the forest at night, but since he entered the meridian, Wu Xiu's eyes could see more clearly in the dark, although it was not as good as during the day, and it would not have Chen Sidao's special talent, but it was also very useful.

The Yao people entered the 100,000 mountains to hunt, generally bounded by a one-and-a-half-day or two-day journey. Further down, it will be very dangerous, there was once a Yao hunter who was not afraid of death and walked with a team of ten people for four days in a row to prepare for a big fight, and in the end only three people came out, and the other seven were killed by the mysterious beast, and the three people who survived didn't even see what the beast looked like.

Wu Xiu had nothing to do, so he had to punch slowly. Now that the injury has basically healed, only one or two damaged meridians have not yet recovered their operation, but it does not affect their dantian lake and sea to absorb and store internal force. On the night of departure, Wu Xiu peeked into all the holes of his body and found that the divine infant had begun to walk around the dantian lake and sea, dancing with his hands, and he looked very happy. Except for one or two acupuncture veins, the other acupuncture veins were stable and orderly, even faster than before the injury.

I can already see a pool of clear water in the middle of the arid pond, and the eyes of the god baby looking at Wu Xiu are no longer resentful and angry, and now they can also get along in harmony, although it is not the kind of respect that respects each other, and you have to bow when you meet, but it is not difficult to be like that dull neighborly relationship, looking at each other, they naturally retract their gazes, and then go their separate ways.

Wu Xiu knows his own defects, one is that there is no move on his side, and the enemy is always a move, and then punch down, although a force to ten will, to break ten thousand laws with force is the ultimate goal of the world's martial arts, but now, with a set of punches or a set of palm methods, even if it is a set of leg methods, you can have a greater chance of winning when you are in battle, besides, it is always a punch hammer down, it is not good-looking.

Di Guang's palm technique that day, that kind of ingenious way of gathering strength, and then urging it with strong internal force, is really good kung fu. There is also Di Qing's fist technique of gathering strength into fire, not to mention how powerful it is, just saying that the fire contaminates the body, as if it wants to invade the heart and use a fire to burn people's internal organs and body points. If he hadn't had the demonic energy or magic power to help him block the fire attack that day, then he would have vomited blood all day long, suffering from the real irreparable internal injuries.

Trauma is not terrible, not even bare bones, because there is the magic medicine that makes people flesh and bones. Internal injuries, especially damage to the meridians that are difficult to recover, are the real taboos of a Yamashita Takeo, and they can often affect a person's future.

Wu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief gently, his hands slowly went down to the dantian as the end, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, the dantian began to heat up, and a stream of heat started from the dantian and flowed to the whole body, Wu Xiu's face was slightly ruddy, and he was sweating. This is very similar to drinking the cup of spring dew tea in Wei Ying's Wenruo tent, and then a powerful force arises spontaneously, Wu Xiu concentrated his energy, and volleyed a punch at the big tree in the distance at a very fast speed, and saw the leaves shaking, alarming countless birds.

Wu Xiu thought of Wen Ruo, the first minister or the first strategist who assisted King Wei to win the world for ten years. Wu Xiu was not impressed by him, but he was quite impressed by what he talked to him in the military tent that day. On the temple, if you kill me, I kill you, it is often much more cruel than on the rivers and lakes. Wu Xiu was glad that he left the army, and he was also glad that he didn't kill Fang Xiaowen but saved her, and even more glad that he didn't go to Qingfufang in Xudu to receive a fortune that belonged to him.

If everything goes well, he also successfully completed the task and went to Qingfufang, maybe he will be the next to die.

Then, he thought of Chen Dingdu, I don't know if the treasure hunt in the secret realm went well, I think of the little ghost boy and Ling'er, I don't know if they have lived the life they want, I think of He Jiancheng, and now I have released my suspicions with Zhang Xiaolian, I think of Zhu Xiaokui, I don't know if he is now wandering the rivers and lakes alone, or if he decided to stay in the sect to practice, he remembered Huang Dongmei and Han Donglai, they are about to get married in less than a month, I don't know if I can catch up.

I think of many, many people..........

"What are you doing?" asked Vientiane suddenly behind him.

Wu Xiu suddenly woke up, "It's nothing. ”

As soon as Vientiane woke up, stretching his muscles and bones crackling, Wu Xiu asked, "Didn't you say that we can find a time to compare? Now that I have recovered from my injury, I will let you heal with one hand." ”

Vientiane twisted his waist, "Forget it, I have self-knowledge, I can't do the punch you just made." ”

Wu Xiu teased, "You kid peeked at me?"

As soon as the words fell. A pair of lantern-like eyes lit up in the dark, and Wu Xiu recognized these eyes.

Wu Xiu looked over and said, "It was this guy who attacked me with a group of beasts that day. ”

Vientiane's face changed slightly, and he slowly retreated into the grass hut, waking up the father and son who were still sleeping, and then picked up the bow and arrow, and threw a handful to Wu Xiu, "It's not a simple beast, be careful." ”

Wu Xiu took the bow and arrow and said, "It seems to be the only one who came this time..."

Before he finished speaking, Vientiane pointed behind Wu Xiu, "You can take a look again." ”

Wu Xiu looked back, and around him, one after another beasts slowly walked out, tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, everything, and it didn't take long to leak the water surrounding the grass house.

Then a beast smaller than it walked out from the Beastmaster's side, snuggled up to the Beastmaster, and looked at Wu Xiu and them.

Vientiane scolded, "How did you provoke these brutes?

Wu Xiu looked at the Beast King, this time it was closer, and saw that it was a white giant tiger, a tiger that Wu Xiu had never seen before, it was almost taller than Wu Xiu, and its two teeth seemed to be longer than Han Donglai's long sword. Next to it, there is also a white tiger, but it is obviously one size smaller than it.

Wu Xiu described the appearance of the tiger, and Vientiane was about to say something, but An Nei said: "Saber-toothed tiger, I haven't seen it for many years, and I've never seen such a big one." ”

It is impossible to escape, everyone has to bend their bows and arrows, and wait for the battle.

The white tiger slowly took a step forward, walked to about ten meters away from everyone, looked at the four people, and after it roared in the sky, it took a few steps back. Then all the fierce beasts around them rushed like a tide, and the four of them fired arrows in unison. Wait until the beast is close, three

The man drew his saber again and fought in close combat. Wu Xiu only used his fists and feet, and just like that day, he could kill with one punch and kick.

The white tiger watched quietly, and when a large number of wild beasts on the ground died, it roared again and pounced on the four of them. The first target turned out to be An Nei, who was also quick-eyed, and when he saw the white tiger attacking, he suddenly dodged sideways. It was indeed a beast with some sanity and means, and the white tiger changed direction in the air, knocking An Nei out of ten meters away with its huge body.

Antai shouted anxiously, Wu Xiu also looked back, jumped to Annei's side, and saw Annei struggling to get up while vomiting blood again and again. Wu Xiu looked at the white tiger, who shook his head and rushed over like an arrow. Wu Xiu closed his eyes, used the power of the dantian, took three steps forward, and smashed it with a punch, smashing it into the forehead of the white tiger. The white tiger's momentum did not decrease, and he pushed Wu Xiu to slide for more than ten meters.

This was almost the heaviest punch of Wu Xiu, a martial artist in the Convergence Realm. But the white tiger still stands.

Wu Xiu withdrew his fist, only to feel that his right hand was numb, the white tiger turned his head again, opened his bloody mouth, Wu Xiu grabbed the white tiger's two sword-like teeth, and the white tiger immediately raised his head and flew him up.

Wu Xiu shouted: "Vientiane, shoot its eyes!"

At the same time, Wu Xiu used the white tiger's teeth as a lever, and kicked his feet on the white tiger's front legs, the white tiger retreated, Wu Xiu also let go of his hands, and shouted at Vientiane: "Give me the knife!"

Vientiane threw out a scimitar, and then bent his bow and arrow, and the arrow flew fiercely and shot at the forehead of the white tiger, but he didn't expect the white tiger's forehead to be so hard, it was like shooting an iron plate, and the arrow broke and fell.

Anne had risen, and Antyre was back to back with him, defending against the other beasts that kept coming at him. Vientiane bent his bow and arrows again, but the white tiger turned his head, because Wu Xiu somehow went around behind it and slashed at its hind buttocks.

The other white tiger, who was silently watching the battle, couldn't stand still, and roared and pounced, still rushing towards Anne and Antell. At this moment, a black feathered arrow was shot from a tree in the distance, right in the eyes of the little white tiger. The little white tiger was in pain, so he stopped, whimpered and slapped his face with his front paws.

Then an old man in black floated down, bent his bow and arrows again, and aimed at the white tiger who was fighting with Wu Xiu. Seeing the old man, the white tiger was obviously a little afraid, and he rushed forward, arrived at the little white tiger, and after rubbing the little white tiger, he disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

Looking at the departing white tiger, the old man in black slowly retracted his bow.

Vientiane hugged his fists and expressed his gratitude.

Anne sat down to rest, as if he had injured his ribs, and kept holding on to his ribs in silence.

Wu Xiu also walked over and hugged his fists in the same way, "Senior Xie." ”

The old man in black lifted the longbow on his back and asked, "Are you from Yaozhai recently?"

Vientiane nodded.

The old man in black said lightly: "Pick up these beasts on the ground and go, the mountains have not been peaceful recently, so I don't go up the mountain to hunt." ”

Vientiane and Wu Xiu glanced at each other, and silently followed Antaier to clean up the battlefield, although they failed to hit the large beasts, but these dead beasts on the ground were enough to make them return with a full load, and besides, Annei was already injured, so it was not appropriate to continue.

The old man in black suddenly asked, "Young man, how much force did you use just now?"

Wu Xiu and Vientiane looked at each other, Wu Xiu stood up and said, "There is no reservation." ”

The old man in black laughed, "It's good to be able to take the full force of the saber-toothed tiger that has become a half-demon beast." You are the martial artist from the rivers and lakes outside the mountain who came to Yao Village to experience hunting, right? If you are a mountain person, you have to use some bells and whistles. ”

Wu Xiu said modestly: "It's just a martial artist who has just started." Listening to the accent of the seniors, it doesn't look like a nearby mountain person, but also a person from outside the mountain?"

The old man in black nodded, "I'm not from Yao, and I don't come from any tribe, I'm used to staying in the mountains alone, so I don't want to go out." He was silent for a while, and then reminded: "Go back and tell your people, don't go up the mountain again in the next month, these beasts have been a little abnormal lately, they want to hunt, and come back in a month." ”

Vientiane was suddenly surprised: "Could it be that you are, butler?"

The old man in black smiled, "I went back and told you the patriarch of Agu, and he said that he owed Bayin a favor again." ”

Wu Xiu asked, "Senior, what happened in the forest recently?"

The old man in black muttered: "It's nothing more than a guy who has become a demon and wants to give you some color." ”

"A demon in human form?" Wu Xiu asked again.

The corners of the old man in black's mouth moved slightly, and he looked at Wu Xiu, "Have you been in contact with demons?"

Wu Xiu nodded, "I know a fox demon who is a good person. ”

The old man in black sneered: "Demons are demons, beasts, when you see their methods, you won't say so." ”

Vientiane pulled Wu Xiu and said respectfully: "Don't bother the seniors, let's go back." ”

Wu Xiu broke free of Vientiane's hand and turned around and said: "Senior, may I ask if there is a place to hide in the depths of the forest? ”

The old man in black pointed to the northeast, "Where to go for three days, it's my valley, if you want to go, I can take you there." ”

Wu Xiuxi said: "Senior, can you tell me the exact address?"

"What, you still have family?" asked the old man in black.

"A friend and newborn child, and my apprentice. ”

The old man in black walked to a big tree and pointed to it, "I'm going to wait here for the rabbit, and I'll wait for you for two days, and if I can't see you in two days, I'll leave." ”

Wu Xiu clenched his fists again, "Thank you, senior!"

Vientiane's head grew for a while, and he whispered in Wu Xiu's ear: "You are a fool, why can this kind of person who lives with a bounty agree to you immediately? Is he a bad person or a good person, do you know what kind of heart he has? Besides, do you know what a butler is? Do you know his methods? Don't accidentally hurt Fang Xiaowen! Nian En was only a few days old? You don't know!"

Wu Xiu was silent, busy peeling the skin, opening the intestines, and busy for a long time, the three of them collected the useful animal skins, and the meat could not be taken so much, so the rest was found and buried. It was dawn, and they were already very tired and walked back non-stop, and An Nei was seriously injured, so his share was carried by Wu Xiu.

When the sun went down, the four of them returned to Yaozhai, which was considered to be a full load, and the people around them cast envious eyes.

By the time Wu Xiu and Vientiane really sat down, it was already late at night. Alan made a sumptuous meal as usual, and at the dinner table, Wu Xiu finally said his thoughts, he said: "What Fang Xiaowen and Nian'en need most now is stability, no matter where they are, as long as they can live safely, it's good." Although I don't know if the housekeeper has sinister intentions, but this is also a way out of the way, where do you say we can go? Back to Tin Shui Wai, the other party will come to the door at any time, where to run? Yaozhai has always been the most ideal refuge in my heart before, because this is a place outside the world, the Yao people are united and strong, there are many hidden masters, no one dares to break in, but I didn't know before that outsiders can't live for a long time, even if they have friends, so I have to think about it in the long run. Staying here for a month is not a long-term solution, I want to settle them down and have my own things to do. ”

Vientiane sighed and said, "I'll tell you the story of the butler." Butler is the name outside the mountain, and in Yaozhai, people call him Godzilla, which means guardian. Twenty years ago, a man, who called himself a guardian, gathered together the chiefs of all the tribes of the stockades living on the outskirts of the mountain, saying that they could be given safety on the condition that each of the stockades pay him a tribute, or a bounty. At that time, someone was unwilling, and then the tribe of that person was attacked by fierce beasts the next day, and most of them were killed and wounded. For twenty years, he has protected the safety of one side, so that we hunters will no longer be hindered by large beasts or monsters, and he will also protect all the villages and tribes on the periphery from the attacks of fierce beasts. ”

Wu Xiu wondered: "What he did was a good thing, and it's okay to give some money, right?"

Vientiane said helplessly: "All the villages and tribes living on the periphery of the mountain can be safe and secure when he does not appear, as soon as he appears, he will have a bounty, and if he doesn't give it, he can manipulate the beast to attack, what is the difference between this and robbing?

Vientiane's last sentence was said through gritted teeth.

Alain bowed his head.

Wu Xiu pondered silently.

Fang Xiaowen didn't know when she got up, and suddenly said, "Go." I'll go with you, and I'll go wherever you go. ”

Wu Xiu looked back and looked at Fang Xiaowen's eyes, in Fang Xiaowen's bright eyes, he could not see fear and disappointment, but hope and encouragement. Wu Xiu nodded lightly at her, "Go and rest early, we're going to leave before dawn." ”

Fang Xiaowen hummed softly and returned to the room.

Vientiane looked at Wu Xiu, and from Wu Xiu's eyes, he saw decisiveness and determination, he knew what kind of person Wu Xiu was, so he stopped persuading, and had to sigh: "Since you have decided, Alan and I will not keep you, be careful." ”

Fang Xiaowen walked out of the room with the sleeping Nian'en, who had been kneeling for many years, knelt in front of Vientiane without hesitation, and said gratefully: "Brother Vientiane, I will kowtow for the child, thank you and Alain's sister-in-law for taking care of me these days, and when the child grows up, I must let him kowtow to you personally." ”

Vientiane stood up, took the child, held it in his arms, looked at Nian'en's immature little face and said: "Godfather didn't hit the toothed wolf this time, so I can't make a necklace for you, I will make it for you in the future, and I will wait for you to come back." ”

Sidao has actually been outside the door all the time, and when Wu Xiu said that she decided to leave, she looked at Wu Xiu with wide eyes, Wu Xiu smiled and said: "This time you go along, if nothing else, in mid-July, I will go out to run errands, and then take you back to Tin Shui Wai by the way." ”

Only then did Chen Sidao retract his gaze, leaning against the gate, silent.

Then everyone got together and talked about homely things. When the sky was slightly bright, Wu Xiu was about to take them to set off, and everyone didn't have a long time to chat. Wu Xiu persuaded Fang Xiaowen to take the child to rest, but only Nian En slept sweetly, Fang Xiaowen couldn't sleep, so she began to prepare to pack her things.

In fact, there was nothing to pack, except for a few changes of clothes, just some diapers and a few animal skins to keep warm from the cold. Now she is truly alone, but Fang Xiaowen does not feel lonely, but lives more and more fully.

Maybe it's because God favors her, even her children don't like to be noisy, except for eating all day long, and then dancing and watching this fresh world, the rest is to sleep. Alan said that such a child must be in great health when he grows up, maybe like his Uncle Wu, in addition to being tall and chic, he is also a natural hunter.

Fang Xiaowen thought, this is very good.

Chen Sidao has been getting along with blind horses these days, and he taught himself to ride horses when he had nothing to do, and at first the blind horses were very reluctant, but when Chen Sidao glared at it a few more times, the poor horse became a cat, docile and clingy. Before dawn, Chen Sidao led the horse and waited at the gate.

Wu Xiu and Vientiane walked out of the door and whispered a few words to each other, and then Vientiane laughed loudly, "Brother Da Zheng, I won't say anything, after the turmoil, come back at any time." ”

Wu Xiu patted Vientiane on the shoulder, "Since Alan agreed to live outside the mountain with you, you must treat her even better, let a Yao person with such heavy thoughts and concepts make such a decision, think about what position you have in her heart." Go back to Tin Shui Wai, just live with me, don't worry about building a house, my house has just been built, and I need to save some popularity. ”

Vientiane nodded vigorously and smirked.

Alan helped Fang Xiaowen, and Nian'en, a child who only cared about his own food, also woke up, his eyes wide open and humming. Wu Xiu helped Fang Xiaowen onto the horse, and Alan handed over Nian'en, who was wrapped in animal skins, and reminded: "When you get to the mountains, try to keep your children full, don't let them cry, some evil beasts will follow the cry to find you." ”

Wu Xiu turned his head and said with a smile: "Then I wish you an early birth to a noble son?"

Alain, who was already playful, became even more playful after blushing, Fang Xiaowen looked at Alain's face, and sighed in her heart, put it outside, she is also a rare beauty in the world.

Vientiane blinked, then looked at Alan with an intoxicated expression, and a hand quietly touched Alain's waist, "Hurry up, let's go, we still have business to do!"

Fang Xiaowen covered her mouth and smiled, and then her face returned to normal.

Wu Xiu looked at the pug expression on Vientiane's face, rolled his eyes, and quipped: "Don't hollow out your body, take it easy!"

Vientiane glared at Wu Xiu, Wu Xiu patted the horse's body, and Chen Sidao led the horse. Wu Xiu continued: "Let's go, you guys also go back to rest, Sister Alan, if Vientiane bullies you, the next time we meet, you tell me, and I'll clean him up." ”

Alain smiled and nodded, "Be careful all the way. ”

The two sides said goodbye with their own ideals and hopes.

There was almost no rest along the way, and when they arrived at the agreed place, the old man in black, Bayin, appeared and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will take you to feed the beasts?"

Wu Xiu said: "Seniors won't do that. ”

Bayin laughed, "That friend of yours reminded you that you're right, I'm not a good person, and you're not worried at all?"

Wu Xiu shook his head, "I'm worried, but there's no way, if the seniors insist on being unfavorable to us, I will fight to the death." ”

Bayin stared at Wu Xiu for a long time before he said, "You seem to have a secret on you?"

Wu Xiu asked, "Can the seniors see it?"

Bayin shook his head, "When I met you that day, I saw that you were injured, very seriously injured, but you recovered well, and the meridians of your whole body seem to have been transformed by the masters." Whose apprentice are you?"

Wu Xiu replied: "It is true that there are people who help me heal my wounds, and there are people who raise my meridians to a higher level, but I don't have a master. ”

Bayin held back a glance at the cowhide that Wu Xiu was wrapped in, "You are a demon monk?"

Wu Xiu replied again: "No, I just have a demon weapon. ”

Bayin glanced at Chen Sidao and the beautiful woman who had been looking calm all the time, "This little girl is your apprentice, and this woman is your friend?"

Wu Xiu glanced at them, "Yes." ”

Bayin turned around, muttered for a moment and said, "You are very strange, you are surrounded by strange people, there are some things you don't want to say, don't say it." I can take you to my valley, a safe valley, but you have to pay me a hundred taels a month, and you have to do something with me. ”

Wu Xiu also felt strange, very strange, he obviously couldn't see it, and he couldn't think that it would have anything to do with money, so he asked: "Seniors have lived in the mountains for a long time, what do you want money for?"

Bayin laughed, and then laughed, "I ask you, what can you do with money?"

Wu Xiu frowned and thought about it, but he couldn't answer, he didn't seem to have really used any money in his life, and naturally he didn't know much about money. Of course, he knows that money can do a lot of things, and he also has a lot of money, money can make people eat better, live better, in addition to these, he can also do a lot of things, so the more money, the better.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiu had some understanding, and replied: "The silver is easy to say, but I will leave first in a few days, go out to do errands, and it doesn't seem feasible to do things with my seniors." ”

Bayin turned around and asked, "How long are you going to stay?"

Wu Xiu said: "It may take a long time. ”

Bayin stretched out his hand, "One thousand taels of deposit." ”

Wu Xiu did not hesitate to take out five two hundred taels of silver tickets from the cowhide package, and counted them by the way, in addition to this thousand taels, there were less than two thousand taels, it seemed that he needed to make money.

After receiving the money, Bayin led the people to the mountains.

Looking at Bayin's back, the more Wu Xiu thought about it, the more strange it became, he really couldn't figure out what a hermit master who had lived in the mountains for a long time needed money to do, and what could he do? Counting money and playing all day long? Senior Hong was also a person who liked money, and that was because he had a family, lived in Shenshui Town, and needed money everywhere.

Wu Xiu's mind suddenly heard Bayin's voice, it seems that Bayin's predecessor has been able to use Gang Qi to transmit sounds, he said: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, I can't go outside the mountain to spend money? ”

Wu Xiu didn't think much about it anymore, and replied with his heart: "Okay." ”

Along the way, when resting, Bayin would chat with Wu Xiu, it turned out that Bayin was a monk earlier, and he followed an immortal monk to practice immortal law, and later turned to study martial arts, and now it is an authentic mind-moving realm cultivation. Everyone has their own secrets, Bayin doesn't say it, and Wu Xiu doesn't ask, just like Wu Xiu doesn't say his own things so clearly. Wu Xiu asked, "Senior, how long do you need to walk to the realm of Zhao Kingdom?"

Bayin looked at the north from a hillside, "Without sleep, with our current foot strength, it will take two months to reach Hengduan Mountain, and only after crossing Hengduan Mountain can we reach Zhao Kingdom." ”

Wu Xiu continued to ask, "Have you been there?"

"It was when I was very young, and I was also chased and killed by the enemy, and my immortal master took the risk to take me through the 100,000 mountains. As he spoke, Bayin fell into deep remembrance. His master has disappeared for sixty years, and he is now almost eighty years old.

Wu Xiu looked around and asked, "Are there many demons in this mountain?"

"It depends on what kind of demon it is, some small demons are everywhere, and the big demons are further north. Don't think that only wild beasts can become demons, everything in the world, innate creation and body, can become a demon, just like a big tree next to you, a flower at your feet, mosquitoes on the tree, there are monsters. Bayin said.

"There are a lot of demons who have come into contact with their predecessors, right?"

"There are many contacts, and there are many killings. I'm a person who only kills fierce beasts, so don't be surprised when you get to my valley, they are all demons of plants and trees, and there is a watchdog. Bayin said.

Wu Xiu was looking forward to it.

Chen Sidao suddenly said, "Is there a shemale?"

Bayin smiled and turned around and said, "If a person has a body of creation and cultivation, and then cultivates the day after tomorrow, he will become an immortal." But I've heard of the shemale you said, it is said that in the Shangyang Kingdom of the Eastern Kingdoms, there is a kind of person who is called a shemale by the common people, but I don't know how it is. ”

Fang Xiaowen sat on the horse and fell asleep, awakened by Nian'en's crying, probably hungry, Fang Xiaowen said softly: "Stop for a while, I'll breastfeed the child." ”

Wu Xiu took the child, he hadn't hugged it for a few days, and it was a lot heavier.

Chen Sidao helped Fang Xiaowen to dismount with great interest, and then when Nian'en was breastfeeding, she looked at it intently without blinking, with a strange look on her face. Fang Xiaowen held back a smile and deliberately let Sidao see it more clearly. Sidao stretched out his head to look at it for a while, stuck out his tongue, and stopped looking.

Wu Xiu and Bayin avoided to the side, and Bayin asked, "That woman is not simple, right?"

Regarding Fang Xiaowen's life experience, Wu Xiu didn't want to tell anyone he didn't know, so he prevaricated: "Can the seniors not ask?"

Bayin didn't think anything about it, so he talked about another thing, "Your apprentice, how did you collect it?"

Chen Sidao's life experience, Wu Xiu did not hide it, she was originally the sister of a good brother, but about the Yin and Yang people, Wu Xiu was still silent, but he was still told by Bayin.

Bayin said: "I have practiced with my immortal master for more than 20 years, and the master's cultivation is improvised, but what makes him most proud is his knowledge, and the books he left behind after he left have been ruined by me, so I know a little about yin and yang people." ”

Wu Xiu looked behind him and whispered, "Does that book say the method of continuing life?"

Bayin said: "There is no record in the book, it only says that although the Yin and Yang people cannot escape death, but the cultivation speed is fast enough, the higher the cultivation in a short period of time, the longer the lifespan, it is best to go to the Immortal Sect, and raise the Yuan Shen with the spiritual temperature of heaven and earth, and even reshape the Yuan Shen, so that the sequelae of the Yin and Yang gods fighting and wrestling with each other are smaller, and they can naturally live longer." ”

Wu Xiu remembered Chen Dingdu, because the only orthodox immortal sect he knew was Chen Dingdu's Cangshan Gate. Nian'en has eaten enough, Fang Xiaowen did not ride a horse this time, she said that she wanted to walk for a while. So Chen Sidao led the horse, and Wu Xiu continued to hurry with Nian En, who had just eaten and drunk and was drowsy.

Fang Xiaowen almost laughed out loud when she looked at Wu Xiu carefully holding the child, this is holding a child, it is clearly a child.

Three days later, Bayin said that if he had climbed a mountain in front of him, he would reach his boundary.

It is a great place where mountains and rivers are intertwined, and there are no trees in the valley, and it is covered with well-groomed grass. The valley is like a sloping cauldron, high in the north and bottom in the south, and a river runs through the valley at the bottom, dividing the valley into two halves. On the west side of the river, there is a row of houses, not the kind of simple small country attic, but a four-story attic with clear water chestnut angles and orderly arrangement, a total of three, and a relatively large one in the middle. At this time, the sun was shining, and the entire valley was bright and bright, and Wu Xiu sighed: "What a good place." ”

Fang Xiaowen's eyes also lit up, because on the eastern hillside, there was a large sea of flowers.

Slowly descending the mountain, we arrived at the river, and then out of thin air appeared an old man in gray, with a warm smile, looking very amiable, he walked in front of Bayin, stroked the gray beard, and said with a smile: "Welcome home." ”

Bayin snorted, "This is our guest, we have paid for it, you can arrange it." ”

The old man was like an experienced shopkeeper, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Guests, please come in." ”

Chen Sidao looked at the old man in a daze, and his scalp was numb when he showed the old man, and then the old man turned around, with his hands behind his back, looking like a fairy wind and bones, if he was a mortal with the naked eye, he really thought that he was a great immortal who had cultivated into an unfathomable immortal in a certain mountain gate.

The group was arranged in a small attic, the attic was fully furnished, and the decoration inside was more luxurious than the Tingshui Pavilion of the Nanshan Inn where Wu Xiu stayed that day, and some objects were worth a lot just by looking at them. Wu Xiu finally knew that Bayin cared about money.

The old man in gray stroked his beard and smiled, it seemed that he really loved his beard. He said, "Rest for a while, and I'll go and prepare dinner." ”

Wu Xiu clenched his fists, "I'm tired." ”

The next thing doesn't need to be elaborated on, in short, at present, Fang Xiaowen has a stable life, and Wu Xiu and Chen Sidao can also concentrate on cultivation. Wu Xiu is also planning to leave for Hanshan County in the past few days, Han Donglai and Huang Dongmei's wedding date is early August, but it is difficult to judge exactly which day Wu Xiu has, but with Han Donglai's kind of urgency, it should be as early as possible, I hope it is not the first day of August, then the time will be very tight.

I lived in Bayin's valley for five days, and I got to know a lot of grass and tree demons, in addition to the tree demon Hu Dashu who is similar to the housekeeper, there are also flower demons Chen Xiaohua, stone demons, Shen Jushi, and even dog demons similar to the gatekeepers, Liu Ergou. While chatting, Wu Xiu asked who took their names, and they said that they were the masters. Wu Xiu really didn't dare to compliment Bayin's level, he had read the book, and his level was not as good as him.

The four little demons sound terrible, but in fact, their cultivation is very low, but they have been born into innate creation, so they have become demons. However, those who can become demons, especially the demons of plants and trees, are naturally not to be underestimated, and Wu Xiu did not underestimate them.

Fang Xiaowen will discuss some flower raising tips with the flower demon Chen Xiaohua in her spare time, Chen Xiaohua said that her wish is to raise a flower demon, turn into a human form, and be with her, preferably a personable orchid boy. Fang Xiaowen said that orchids are gentlemen among flowers among the people, and if they can give birth to a human form and a congenital orchid body, they must be a beautiful man. Chen Xiaohua is full of expectations, her heart is rippling, her body is actually an extremely good-looking moonflower, so the most important thing she lacks is beauty, even Fang Xiaowen, a beautiful woman in the world, is a little envious. But the evening primrose is not noble and belongs to one of the many wildflowers.

Two women who understand flowers and are as beautiful as flowers stick together all day long, talking whispers that only women can talk about, on this day, Chen Xiaohua held Fang Xiaowen's arm in the sunset, and the two walked slowly by the river. Chen Xiaohua sighed and said helplessly: "Today, Shen Jushi's fool wrote me another letter, and I told him tens of thousands of times that it was impossible, why is this stone so shafted!"

Fang Xiaowen laughed, she gained a lot of weight during breastfeeding, just like a graceful and rich pink peony flower, she said: "If a man is infatuated with you, aren't you happy?"

Chen Xiaohua thought for a while, blinked her eyes like autumn water, and then smiled like a crescent moon, and said proudly: "Don't say it, it's really happy to be happy!"

Fang Xiaowen nodded Chen Xiaohua's forehead, and said with a smile: "Be content, you, I think Shen Jushi is very good, honest and steady, he is a good man who lives a good life, don't you think about it?"

Chen Xiaohua shook her head into a rattle, "Don't, don't, look at him, in addition to growing tall and strong, is that good-looking?"

Fang Xiaowen sighed, of course women like good-looking men, why shouldn't she. Although Chen Xiaohua has become a demon, her heart is like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, a girl of this age, of course, likes that kind of man like a flower. However, women, after all, if they want to marry, few women can marry the ideal perfect man, and the strange thing is that it is precisely because of some imperfections that the husband and wife can go longer. Because, at the beginning, they were busy looking for each other's imperfections, and later, when they were getting later, they were busy accepting each other's imperfections, and even became their imperfect selves. Later, they all looked forward to and missed each other's imperfections, and sometimes they would even say, "Hey, why don't you snore when you sleep, I haven't heard it for a long time." ”

Seeing that Fang Xiaowen didn't speak, Chen Xiaohua shook the other party's arm, "Sister Xiaowen, what's wrong with you?

Fang Xiaowen smiled, "It's nothing, show me Shen Jushi's letter?"

Fang Xiaowen took out a letter from her arms, folded it neatly, and wrote that Xiaohua was collected. Unfolded the letter, in fact, it can't be regarded as a letter, because there is only one sentence, the words are ugly, but it can be seen that it is written extremely seriously, and there are some typos, but Fang Xiaowen can understand it and read it softly: "Dear Xiaohua, you are like the most beautiful moon at night, beautiful, but it makes me melancholy, Xiaohua, you are the most beautiful flower in the world, blooming into my heart, so that I can never forget, Xiaohua, how much I love you, how much I love you." ”

Fang Xiaowen looked at Chen Xiaohua and asked, "This Shen Jushi is still literate?"

Chen Xiaohua nodded, "He begged his master to teach him, and now he can recognize words and almost catch up with me." ”

Fang Xiaowen shook the letter paper, and Ying Ying smiled: "Since you don't like him, you won't agree to him, so tear up the letter, right?" ”

Fang Xiaowen said, I really want to tear it.

Chen Xiaohua hesitated for a long time, and reached out to grab the letter paper at the moment when she was about to tear it up, "Forget it, these papers were bought by the owner from outside the mountain, they are very precious, keep them, and I will practice calligraphy on the back in the future." ”

Fang Xiaowen smiled and didn't speak.

Chen Xiaohua fled her gaze, not daring to look at Fang Xiaowen, she folded the letter, first stuffed it into her arms, hesitated, and then put it in her sleeve.

Then Fang Xiaowen said: "Go back, Nian'en should wake up in a while." ”

Chen Xiaohua nodded happily, took Fang Xiaowen's arm again, and said with a smile: "Does Sister Xiaowen like Brother Wu Xiu?"

Fang Xiaowen was stunned, looked ahead, and suddenly felt weak, after a short slow heartbeat, her heartbeat accelerated instantly, but her face never changed, she shook off Chen Xiaohua's arm, and said angrily: "What do you say about the child's family, don't talk nonsense in the future!"

Chen Xiaohua withdrew her mouth, "No, it's not, why are you so angry?"

Fools can see Fang Xiaowen's eyes when she looks at Wu Xiu on weekdays, but she is still a flower demon.

The night is approaching, the moonlight is like water, the mountains are somewhat cold, and in front of the attic where Wu Xiu and his party lived, Wu Xiu had a pair of bonfires.

He's decided to leave tomorrow, so he doesn't look in a good mood tonight.

The dog demon Liu Ergou came over with Chen Sidao, and now he and Chen Sidao are getting along well, taking Chen Sidao around the valley all day long, a Sidao sister, and Chen Sidao, who is called, wants to beat the dog more than once.

Liu Ergou is a warm person, seeing that Wu Xiu is a little sullen, he swaggered and shouted: "Brother Wu, what's wrong? Is it that Shen Jushi's second stunned person has made you unhappy, I'll teach him a lesson!"

Chen Sidao followed behind Liu Ergou, looked at his master, and pulled Liu Ergou, "I'll go over later." ”

Liu Ergou was puzzled, Chen Sidao pointed to the door of the attic, and Fang Xiaowen walked out slowly.

Liu Ergou touched his long face and nodded, "Makes sense!"

By the fire, Fang Xiaowen sat down softly and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Hmm. ”

"When will you be back?"

"I don't know. ”

Fang Xiaowen was silent, secretly glanced at Wu Xiu's face under the firelight, and said softly, "We'll wait for you to come back." ”

"Good. ”

Wu Xiu threw the firewood on the side to the fire, "I have looked for Bayin's predecessor today, and I gave him another thousand taels of silver, you and the child can live permanently, and he will not embarrass you." It's very safe here, you can rest assured, even if Bayin's predecessors go out to run errands, there are still four demons in the valley, although their cultivation is low, it is not difficult to save your life. ”

Wu Xiu then took out a stack of talismans and said, "This talisman can also be used by people under the mountain, as long as you chant the spell, if you are worried, you can give her to Chen Xiaohua." ”

Zhu Xiaokui gave a lot of the four talismans of Qingming, Speed, Blinding, and Yin Soldiers, and there were seven or eight of each, but Wu Xiu only left one of each.

Fang Xiaowen hesitated, and then took it, and Wu Xiu easily talked to him about the spell that was urging. The simplest talismans like this are actually quite common. Zhu Xiaokui and Wu Xiu chatted before, as long as the lowest-level talisman is recited the spell, it can be urged, and the method of high-level talisman urging, some need to use special immortal methods, and some need the blood of the monk himself, or the extremely precious heart blood and essence blood, but not all low-level talismans are less powerful than high-level talismans, which is extremely testing the skill of the talisman painter. All the famous talismans in the world are all masters who have mastered a certain skill.

After Wu Xiu finished speaking, the two of them began to be silent, and I don't know how long it took, Wu Xiu asked softly, "Do you have any concerns?"

"I'm not afraid of death!" Fang Xiaowen said suddenly.

Wu Xiu looked at Fang Xiaowen and said, "I know, but I hope you both are alive." ”

Fang Xiaowen began to be a little worried, a little anxious, and even a little overwhelmed, under the light of the fire, she looked extremely flustered, and then she closed her eyes, and said softly and desperately: "I know that I am not qualified to let you stay here, if I was not someone else's woman, I will not hesitate to let you stay, and I will do everything possible to let you and me live here for the rest of your life." But now mine can't, I'm incomplete, and no man is going to fall in love with an incomplete woman. ”

Wu Xiu sighed softly and said, "You shouldn't have said that, you..."

Before Wu Xiu could finish speaking, Fang Xiaowen immediately said, "I know, I'm not qualified." ”

There was silence in the valley, everything was as silent as water, there was no wind even on weekdays, even the wind couldn't blow here, Wu Xiu'an looked at the fire quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. Fang Xiaowen also sat silently, with no intention of continuing to speak, as if she didn't even have the interest in talking, but she was not sad, she was very relaxed, as if it was the most relaxed in recent times.

Fang Xiaowen stood up and said softly: "You are careful all the way, and if you encounter danger, you will run." ”

"Okay. ”

Then Fang Xiaowen turned around and went back to the attic, and after a while, Chen Sidao came over stupidly, squatted beside Wu Xiu, and said, "I want to go with you." ”

Wu Xiu turned his head to look over, and then turned back and said, "You're not going back to Tianshuiwei?"

"Well, no. Chen Sidao said firmly.

"Okay, let's go to the rivers and lakes together!"

Chen Sidao nodded heavily, and then showed a smile that he had almost never seen before, "Master, master, I don't go up the mountain to practice." ”

Wu Xiu looked at Chen Sidao in surprise and asked strangely, "How do you know that I want you to go up the mountain to practice?"

Chen Sidao held his chin in his hands and said, "I heard the conversation between you and Old Man Bayin. Yin and yang people are yin and yang people, if you don't live long, you won't live long, it doesn't matter. ”

Wu Xiu was a little relieved, originally he planned to wait until Sidao became an adult and then have a long talk with her, even if he couldn't make her accept the reality happily, he also thought that he could make her stronger and less desperate. Wu Xiu touched Chen Sidao's head, "You can think like this, the master is very happy." You can rest assured that the master will work hard to practice and try his best to find a good way to help you. ”

Chen Sidao hummed heavily, laughing happily, but he looked a little girly.

Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning, the valley was foggy, Wu Xiu picked up Chen Sidao on the horse, turned around and smiled at Fang Xiaowen, who was hugging Nian'en, and said, "Let's go, I will come back as soon as possible." ”

Fang Xiaowen smiled in return, and when Wu Xiu's figure disappeared into the mist, Nian En had already woken up.

Nian En looked at Fang Xiaowen with wide eyes, while Fang Xiaowen's eyes looked at the direction of Wu Xiu's departure and shed tears.
