On the eleventh day of the lunar month, Pan Long came to say goodbye to Wu Jixing and others.

He lived in Guangling City for a few months, and actually made friends with a lot of people under the identity of "White Tiger Star" - basically they were neighbors of Zheng Shuang's family, but with the identity of "Pan Long", there were only people like Qionghua Pavilion.

It's not that "Pan Long" has any cold personality, it's really that he can't be divided into two by himself, he usually acts as a white tiger star, and Pan Long's identity can only play the elusive one.

Since the gods are gone, of course, there is no chance to make friends.

After all, even if others want to make friends with him, they must at least be able to meet him. But "Pan Long" will never be discovered by anyone, every time he appears, it is either in a restaurant or in the Qionghua Pavilion Yitian Courtyard, and friends in the rivers and lakes can't find a chance to make friends with him at all.

Pan Long has no regrets about this, Guangling City, as the capital of a state, is as skilled as a cloud and unfathomable. It's not a good thing to meet too many people and make too many friends here.

In contrast, it is not as simple as the neighbors who know as White Tiger Star, they are more simple and down-to-earth.

When he said he was leaving, the neighbors gave him a lot of souvenirs and asked him to bring them to the villagers in Yunzhou to taste. These souvenirs are safely stored in the bracers that have been transformed from imitation mountains and seas, waiting to go to the Northland to shine.

And the homecoming gift that Wu Jixing prepared for him was completely different from what these neighbors prepared.

The neighbors prepared pickles, dried tea, kraft candy, etc., while Wu Jixing prepared lacquerware, wood carving, tea leaves, etc.

These two types of things are naturally the specialties of Guangling City and even Yangzhou, but the latter is too expensive for ordinary people to buy.

Among these specialties, the most expensive is a crystal box, the box itself is worth a lot of money, and the contents are even more eye-wide - a number of fish meat cut as thin as cicada wings, are placed in the ice grid layer by layer, and when you want to take it, you can take out the ice grid directly layer by layer, each layer is a copy, and it will not stick at all.

"It's ......"

"You mentioned earlier, deep-sea fish. Wu Jixing said, "It's just that this thing has to be caught and cut to be delicious." You've always seen the beginning and the end, and I never found a chance to have a treat. Fortunately, this time I was lucky, and from the treasury of the Guishan Society, I found the Xuanbing crystal box made by Master Feng back then, which could be used to store fish chest. So I prepared this one for you, but unfortunately the amount is a little small, only less than five catties. ”

Pan Long smiled: "That's a lot. ”

"We Yangzhou people eat finely, which is probably a lot for us. But you northerners are used to drinking wine in big bowls and eating meat in large pieces, and five catties of fish are probably not enough for one person. ”

Wu Jixing said with a smile: "However, this time we overturned the Turtle Mountain Society, and it can be regarded as one foot stuck into the water." When you come to Guangling again, I will get a sea boat, and we will take a boat to the sea, catch and eat freshly, and eat to your heart's content! Cuigu's knife technique of cutting fish is hard practice. She was able to cut off all the parts of a fish that were suitable for the brittle, and the fish would not even realize that it was dead, and it would be able to swim in the water for a while. ”

Pan Long was taken aback: "There is such a knife technique?"

"Naturally, there is a know-how in it, but the master who taught her the 'living sword' technique in the first place wouldn't tell me, and she also swore to keep it a secret, so I don't know. Wu Jixing waved his hand in the air, his fingertips were like blades, flashing a few blades, "I tried it myself, but I cut it with a knife, and before the blade landed on the fish's body, the knife intent killed it first......"

Pan Long couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh, your knife intent is more domineering than mine, if you want to replace it, I'm afraid that as soon as the knife comes out of the sheath, the live fish will become a dead fish!"

Wu Jixing pursed his lips disdainfully and said sarcastically.

They have been friends for a long time, and naturally they have also learned. Wu Jixing also uses knives, the knife technique is wild and violent, and there is a burning knife intent, which is difficult to resist.

And Pan Long naturally refused to fall to the downwind, so the sword intent he cast was more fierce than Wu Jixing, and as soon as the knife was unsheathed, the people watching the battle around felt as if they were in a desolate northern land, with a cold and killing intent, as if the north wind swept thousands of miles.

The two were fighting outside Guangling City at that time, and after only one move, a small piece of bamboo forest suffered. Those affected by the Martial Pole Star Knife Intent were better, only the branches and leaves fell, but those affected by Pan Long's Knife Intent all withered in an instant, and even the weeds on the ground died at all.

Wu Jixing and the others were greatly admired and amazed. didn't know that this sword intent was actually not Pan Long's own at all, but he simulated it temporarily.

The exercises that Pan Long learned, the Nine Turns Xuangong took the road of tenacity and self-defense, and did not preset his own path from the heart, and paid attention to the gentleman at any time.

is like Bi Lingkong, she once said that her most proud skill is actually not the flame technique of "Brilliant Sun Shining Golden Crow", but "Cold Moon and Cold Thousands of Miles Away", but if you want to say that it is more deterrent and can kill the enemy in fear when fighting, it is naturally better to be the former.

"Isn't that a pity?" asked Pan Long at that time.

"As long as you can kill the enemy and pee your pants when they see you, it doesn't matter what kind of exercises you use. Bi Lingkong said nonchalantly, "Master said that a gentleman can change at any time, and he can't stick to his own inherent habits and ideas, otherwise he won't be able to make progress." ”

After learning to "do what you want", Pan Long's ability to control his own breath was greatly improved, and then under the guidance of Bi Lingkong, he practiced the ability to simulate various sword intents. As long as necessary, he can strike dozens of knives, each with a different intent, allowing the enemy to take care of one or the other. It can also kill dozens of enemies in one go, and the marks on the wounds of each enemy are completely different, making the coroner think that it was the work of a group of masters.

He privately speculated that this ability was probably not a descendant of Confucianism, but more like Bi Lingkong's own creation.

After all, Confucian disciples don't need this kind of means. But after assassinating Emperor Jiazi back then, Bi Lingkong had to work hard to hide his identity so as not to be approached......

Among the gifts prepared by Wu Jixing, what made Pan Long feel the most heavy was not the large wood carvings that were really heavy, nor the expensive deep-sea fish tart, but a few boxes of gummies.

The gummies are made from countless tiny whiskers folded with layers of frosted frosted fruit in between. Finally, it is made into a section of knuckle length and neatly stacked in a wooden box.

"It's just something else, these dragon beard candies must be given to your relatives and friends!" Wu Jixing emphasized, "Cui Gu knew that you were going home, so she did this overnight. From material selection to production to boxing, she did it all by herself, and she didn't even let us help a little. ”

Pan Long suddenly felt that those palm-sized wooden boxes had become heavy.

"When you bring them back, you must give them to those who have a good relationship with them, especially your parents and elders, so that they can see the ingenuity of your daughter in Yangzhou. ”

Wu Jixing said, laughing self-deprecatingly: "Of course, not every Yangzhou daughter is so ingenious, for example, I ...... If you ask me to cook, you can wait for the raw rice and bloody barbecue. ”

Pan Long also smiled: "If you are willing to cook, that man must have been so happy that he doesn't know the southeast and northwest, sandwiched raw rice or barbecued meat with blood, he tastes about the same as the delicacies of the mountains and seas." ”

"Qi! How can there be such a good thing! That requires me to be more beautiful than Aunt Cui, man, after all, I still look at my face. ”

It was difficult to accept these words, and Pan Long could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

He collected these gifts one by one, then said goodbye to Wu Jixing and the others, rode on his horse, left Guangling City, and walked towards the north.

From Guangling to Beidi, there is no waterway to go, the most convenient way to walk is to go north to Qingzhou first, and then from Qingzhou all the way to the west, through Jizhou, until you reach Yongzhou Yumen, and then through the vast desert.

It's a long way to go, and it's a long time to ride a horse. On the way, it is probably inevitable to dismount and walk.

After all...... For a master like Pan Long, although walking is a little tiring, it is much faster than riding a horse.

Watching him gradually walk away, Wu Jixing stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Cuigu, and said, "Come back to your senses, everyone has gone away!"

Cuigu's face immediately turned red.

"It seems that the next time he comes to Guangling, he should help you get married. Wu Jixing didn't let her go, "Hmm...... What should be the best dowry? By the way, if you marry a daughter, you have to receive a bride price, what do you think is more appropriate for him?"

Cui Gu covered her face with her hands, turned around and ran, Wu Jixing was still chattering behind: "We are also serious people, the three media and six certificates are indispensable, and the process of the six rites cannot be omitted, but I don't know which parent he will find to do the wedding ceremony...... Ahh ”

"Helper, you just don't say a word, Aunt Cui is far away. ”

"What's the matter? Aunt Cui is far away, can't I say? Let's find a rare opportunity to tease and ridicule this little pepper, don't seize the opportunity now, when she becomes Mrs. Pan, we must be polite to each other, we can't be so big and small. ”

Looking at Wu Jixing's arrogant appearance, all the henchmen, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are helpless.

Pan Long naturally didn't know what happened after he left, he rode his horse all the way away, and it only took one day to walk out of Guangling City for almost three hundred miles.

But the horse was tired enough, so when he reached another great city, he got a horse dealer and sold it.

The horse merchant was very distressed when he saw the horses tired like that, and couldn't help but say a few words like "cherish the horses". Pan Long didn't bother to argue, took the money, and left directly, not even staying in the city for long.

He traveled all the way north and passed through Qingzhou and Youzhou in three days. The situation in Qingzhou is better, there are many bandits and starvation in Youzhou, and he even saw a skinny person walking and walking more than once, and suddenly fell on the road, and he couldn't get up again.

Pan Long can't think about this, the world is so big, even if he has the heart to save it, he can't save it.

"It is said that Di Luonan has inspected the world and has returned to the divine capital. I just don't know what conclusions he has come to during this inspection, and what can he do for the people of the world?"

He couldn't help but think of some rumors he had heard in Guangling City - there were rumors in the market that after Di Luonan returned to Beijing, he had a long recital, but the Son of Heaven did not give instructions on the recital, but stayed in the middle and did not send it.

Staying in China does not issue it, which means that it is neither opposed nor in favor, and the matter will be discussed separately.

Di Luonan was naturally very dissatisfied with this, and went on several recitals in succession, and he didn't know what they discussed, anyway, it was said that there was a lot of quarrel in the court now.

There are many rumors, most of which are rumors. Pan Long listened to it for a long time, and there were all kinds of sayings, and he didn't know what to believe.

But he can be sure that Di Luonan will definitely not just go around Kyushu and watch it once. The "Seven Killers" won't let his efforts go to waste, and he won't allow anyone to get in his way.

A few years ago, Di Luonan had discussed with Yizhou Haoqiang and wanted to change the national policy. Yizhou is so stable, he is still so dissatisfied. A few years have passed, and the places he has seen that are far inferior to Yizhou must abound.

"I don't know what the end result will be......"

Pan Long sighed, with some expectation in his heart, but more uneasiness.

For him, a thief, it is natural that the more perverse the Great Xia court is, the more beneficial it is to him. But he felt that if he could keep the country and the people safe, he would not rebel...... It doesn't matter.

Anyway, he can live for a long time, and he can always wait until he can't rebel.

It's just that, judging from the situation in Youzhou, I'm afraid that this world is not very far away from "not rebelling".

Pan Long walked all the way to the high mountain area in the north of Youzhou, climbed the high mountain, and flew to the west with the help of the cold north wind.

After cultivating from what his heart desires, he will be able to fly against the wind. It's just that flying against the wind is different from the immortals riding the wind and driving the clouds after all, and they can't go against the direction of the wind, at most they can only be like a ship on the water, with the help of the wind slightly skewed.

Winter in Kyushu is dominated by north winds, which are the northeast and northwest winds.

If you start flying from the northern part of Youzhou, even if it is a northwest wind, you can use one or two, which is much faster than walking on two feet.

With the help of the strong wind, Pan Long galloped all the way in the sky. His luck was not bad, this way flew all the way, and it turned out to be a northeast wind.

Just two days later, he had seen the desert.

He spent half a day searching for things that could be used as signposts over the desert, and finally determined his position, and then landed on the ground, all the way north.

Without waiting for Chinese New Year's Eve, he came to Dingfeng Town.

Coincidentally, when he returned home this time, it was another heavy snowfall, covering the land one after another.

Just like the last time he came back.
