Chapter seventy-two, back to the mountain, out of the mountain
Heishuifang City on the map, whether from Guangyang or from the Liang country, are located in the west of the two countries, and the distance between the two countries is also about 10,000 miles, it takes about five days to take an ordinary flying boat, and it is impossible to control the flying sword.
Fang City is established on the westernmost cliff in the territory of the sixth-level sect Beast Zhai, because two or three sects to the west are the Buddhist territory of the fourth-level sect Big Buddha Temple, so there are many more monks and nuns than Taihao Fang.
Compared to Taihaofang, which needs to verify its identity every time you enter the door, Heishuifang City is much more open, as long as you pay the entrance fee of ten spirit stones, mortals can also go to hang out inside, and there is no limit to the length of time, even if you live for a year and a half, no one cares.
It took Liu San'er more than a month to rush from Guangyang Kingdom to Heishuifang City. In the middle, it took nearly ten days to detour in order to avoid the eyeliner of the Heavy Sword Gate, and it took a few more days to avoid the disciples of the Beast Control Sect and take a carriage for a few days. Fortunately, he couldn't go back to Daliangmen before Bai Xiaojie and the others came back, and there was almost no practice to practice, and some of them were wasted of time, and they would rather waste more time in exchange for safety.
Seeing the terrifying strength of Ye Feng, who was also a Qi cultivator, and meeting with Elder Ding on the periphery of Daliang Mountain and being coerced to cultivate the "Wantong Mantra" made Liu San'er more and more cautious about traveling.
met Ye Feng, who had a strong background and his own strength, and eventually became the other party's informant, and met with Elder Ding, who was blown through the sky and became the other party's disciple. Liu San'er thought carefully about these two incidents when he was in Guangyang Kingdom, and there was a great element of luck in them. But he doesn't think that he can take shit luck every time, maybe the next time he encounters an indiscriminate existence, he will slaughter his own existence, and he has no self-protection power like these two times, and it will be really over. Therefore, he should try to avoid all the uneasiness that he can predict.
This is also one of the reasons why Liu San'er chose to stay in Guangyang Kingdom, where the Heavy Sword Gate is located, instead of the Jingshi of the Great Liang Kingdom, after all, no one knows him, and it is much safer.
The second reason is naturally related to Yin Tao, but Liu San'er didn't go to her after thinking about it for a long time, so let's pass it. Even if you really want to get in touch in the future, it's better to win through Tuoba.
Carrying a bamboo tube on his back is Liu San'er's biggest burden, which is too conspicuous. He wanted to throw it away several times, but in the end he couldn't give up. The soul contract signed with the monk is like a heavy shackle, and the guy who threw the bamboo tube is afraid that he will be angry, and he may not know what to do.
Liu San'er thought about putting a bamboo tube in the clothes behind his back to put a camel, but he only lasted for a quarter of an hour and gave up.
It's so tired, it's not something a normal person can do!
Until he arrived outside Heishuifang City, Liu San'er still didn't have any good ideas. Helpless, he had to secretly bury the bamboo tube in a pile of rubble on the outskirts of Fang City, make a mark, hurriedly walked into Fang City, spent 38,000 first-order middle grade to buy a fighting sword, and left in a hurry.
The sword is two feet and two inches long, the whole body is silver-white, with a dazzling garbage effect, but it is a genuine third-order low-grade magic weapon, and it is rare to refine the hilt of the sword, which can be used to sacrifice mana and hurt people can also be held in the hand against the enemy, especially suitable for two-handed swordsmanship.
As soon as he entered and exited Heishuifang City, Liu San'er spent less than an hour, and then returned to the pile of rocks to take away the bamboo tube, and after making sure that no one was tracking, he directly drove the Zhengfeng Sword back the same way.
......
Half a year later.
Bai Xiaojie and the others returned to Daliangmen, physically and mentally exhausted. It seems that the Tsing Yi patrol sentence "irrelevant people retreat at a fast pace" is just a scene, and unrelated people will also be interrogated when investigating the case.
Liu San'er's days on the periphery of Daliang Mountain finally came to an end, and he thought that he would receive inquiries from Bai Xiaojie and even Liang Zhongyuan and others, and he also thought of several versions of the lie, but no one mentioned it to him at all, which made him very depressed.
That female disciple of Divine Sword Peak, Wang Zhen, didn't appear even more once after she came back, as if she was in retreat.
Using the golden wooden sword and the silver fighting sword, Liu San'er practiced every move of the "Double Sword Combination Seven Seven Forty-Nine Styles" very well, and the coordination between the moves was even more so, but he still felt that something was missing. He thought that this two-handed sword technique should be a strange sword technique similar to the nameless sword spectrum, and there would be no progress without actual combat, so he put it on hold for the time being.
And killing people for the sake of practicing swords, Liu San'er didn't even think about it. When he was full of food and drink and couldn't sleep, he would fight the monkey fist from time to time, but the difference between it and the page was still the same.
There are two kinds of troubles in mortals, which they can't remember and can't forget.
There is only one kind of trouble that a cultivator should forget. That "Wantong Mantra" is like this, it can only be left behind by Liu San'er, but he can't forget it at all. He hadn't cultivated this thing once, so it was better to sleep a little longer if he had that time.
......
Patting the storage bag on his waist and checking the equipment, Liu San'er strode to Cheng Yi's residence to call him along.
It's strange, less than half an hour before departure, Cheng Yi is not in his house, and he doesn't know where to go.
The general affairs manager of the Big Buddha Temple, Master Huiding, who was repaired in the later stage of the foundation, will pass by the Daliang Jingshi today and return to the temple to report the matter.
The Great Liang Gate, which has already received the news, generally according to the usual practice, the head of the Liang Zhongyuan will personally go to visit the meeting to show his respect for the Big Buddha Temple.
It just so happened that the head of the head Liang Zhongyuan had reached a critical period of alchemy in the past few days, and he wanted to ask Chai Ping, the head of the general affairs, to visit him on his behalf, but Chai Ping was also in retreat recently, so it was inconvenient to go.
Senior Brother Pei seized the opportunity and strongly recommended Liang Siguo to visit Huiding in Beijing as the head of the family, in order to show his respect for the Great Buddha Temple of the fourth-level sect.
Originally, this was a good suggestion, taking care of all aspects, but Bai Xiaojie made it difficult to drag things down.
It wasn't until the morning that Liang Zhongyuan finally woke up from Bai Xiaojie's slander, a Buddhist sect like the Big Buddha Temple is actually more important than Confucianism.
Senior Brother Bei naturally designated Cheng Yi and Liu San'er, two guest qing, and eight middle and late stage disciples of Qi cultivation to accompany him.
Noticing that the door of Cheng Yi's courtyard was open, but there was no one in the room, Liu San'er estimated that he might be stumped by something now, and decided to wait for him.
"Cheng Xianshi, Cheng Xianshi!" a childish girl's voice called outside the courtyard wall.
Cheng Yi's relationship with the ordinary maids of Daliangmen was so good that Liu San'er was jealous, and he always wondered if he had an unclear relationship with some of them.
"Cheng Immortal Master! Cheng Immortal Master!" the voice shouted very urgently!
went out to have a look, Liu San'er came out.
"Immortal Master Cheng?" the girl exclaimed, and immediately realized that she had made a mistake.
The girl in front of her looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate face, her body was quite thin, she was so thin that she could be blown away by a gust of wind, she was a little shorter than Liu San'er, and she had an anxious look on her face.
Liu San'er recognized her as Wang Xiaoxiu, a taciturn and hard-working girl. The reason why he has an impression of Wang Xiaoxiu is completely because of her special figure among the many fat chefs and fat handymen in the room. There are not no ordinary women in the room, but they all eat good meat, and people like Wang Xiaoxiu are very eye-catching.
"Immortal Master Liu, hello!" As soon as he found out that it was Immortal Master Liu San'er, Xiaoxiu hurriedly saluted. This immortal master who has not been here for a long time has many rumors circulating among ordinary people, telling people that he is by no means an idle person.
"Little show girl!" Liu San'er nodded and asked, "Do you have something to do with Cheng Yi Daoyou?"
"Yes, Immortal Master Liu, can you tell me where he is?" Xiao Xiu asked anxiously.
"I don't know, I'm looking for him too, and I'm about to go out together!" Liu San'er said: "If he doesn't come back, I'm afraid it'll be too late." ”
"Ahh
Women, just making a fuss, Liu San'er shook her head, she didn't plan to wait for Cheng Yi.
A mid-stage Qi cultivation disciple flew over in a hurry with a flying sword, and as soon as he saw Liu San'er, he said: "Liu Daoyou, Cheng Yi Daoyou has something to do and won't come back for the time being, he asked me to tell you, go to the Divine Sword Peak Council Hall and meet the eldest prince quickly." ”
"Okay!" Liu San'er nodded.
The disciple nodded in return, and hurried away with the flying sword.
Liu San'er also closed Cheng Yi's door and prepared to go to Shenjian Peak.
"Immortal Master Liu, can you wait a minute?" said Xiao Xiu in a hurry.
"What's the matter with you?" Liu San'er knew that Xiaoxiu was looking for Cheng Yi to do something, and now that he thought about it, he probably wanted to deliver the news by himself, and he could still help with this favor.
Perhaps Liu San'er's mediocre and ordinary appearance and approachable attitude gave Xiaoxiu great courage.
Xiaoxiu pleaded in a low voice, "Immortal Master Liu, can you do me a favor?"
Looking at that pitiful appearance, Liu San'er felt a trace of concern in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "What's the matter, let's talk about it, I'm about to leave!"
It's not complicated.
Xiaoxiu was born in a poor peasant family in Qi County near the Jingshi of Daliang State, and when he was eight years old, he was unable to raise his family because of poverty, and sold Xiaoxiu to a large family in Jingshi as a slave, and later the big family inadvertently violated the Daliang Gate and was assigned to the army, and the slaves were also taken over, and most of them were sold to other large households, only a few Xiaoxiu were taken to Daliang Mountain to do miscellaneous labor.
After selling Xiaoxiu, the Wang family didn't know that Xiaoxiu later entered Daliang Mountain, and after three generations of seven years of hard work, day and night, desperate cultivation of wasteland, they finally had a few acres of thin land to make a living, and life gradually improved.
Unexpectedly, last year's drought hit the Wang family hard, and his father and grandfather also fell ill one after another, and they spent all the money they had saved over the years by taking medicine and eating.
In order to survive, the Wang family mortgaged all their land and houses to local landlords, and borrowed usury to see a doctor and buy food rations to survive.
I planned to work hard this year, more than a dozen people worked hard for a year, and I could repay the loan. Who knew that this year, because of the bumper harvest, the grain could not be sold at a low price, and the usury rolled to an astonishing amount. The local landlords wanted to forcibly confiscate the mortgaged fields and properties, and the young people of the Wang family impulsively clashed with them.
As a result, it can be imagined that the landlord not only injured the three members of the Wang family, but also sent the two members of the Wang family to prison with a complaint.
The result of the Wang family's bitter plea for the neighbors to intercede was that the county government ordered the money to be repaid within 15 days, otherwise the Wang family's land and real estate would be forcibly taken away according to the contract made at that time.
The Zhang family, who was at the end of the road, begged his father to sue his grandmother for help. I don't know which of them was sick and rushed to the doctor, I thought of Xiaoxiu who was sold to the big family in Beijing, so I made a special trip to Beijing, the big family has long been gone, and I inquired about it only to know that Xiaoxiu actually entered the lintel of the fairy house to work, and was overjoyed, and quickly found a shop in Beijing that sold the wine that ordinary people drink, and asked someone to spread the news.
Originally, this was a matter of fishing for the moon in the water, but because Senior Brother Bei inspected the operation of the industry in the door some time ago and returned to Daliangmen, the news was passed on to Xiaoxiu by a kind-hearted Daliangmen disciple.
"Liu Xianshi, I have these savings, please bring them to Jingshi, and then ask the people in the store to help me bring them to Qi County's house when they move around. Xiaoxiu had tears in her eyes: "I hope I can help my family somewhat." ”
Liu San'er noticed that the red cloth bag that Xiaoxiu took out was full of very small pieces of broken silver, which added up to only fifty or sixty taels, and a few bead flowers that were not very valuable, it seemed that she had taken out her future dowry.
His heart trembled, and Liu San'er didn't reach out to pick it up.
"Immortal Master Liu, please! If you can do this great favor, Xiaoxiu will definitely do her best to repay your great kindness!" Xiaoxiu mistakenly thought that Liu San'er refused, and her eyes were red, so she wanted to kneel.
"Okay!" Liu San'er hurriedly responded.
"Thank you, Immortal Master Liu!" Xiao Xiu immediately thanked him.
Putting the red cloth bag with Xiaoxiu's body temperature into the storage bag, Liu San'er asked a very stupid question: "Xiaoxiu, don't you really resent your parents for selling you back then?"
"Why don't you hate it?" Xiaoxiu burst into tears and said: "Eating grass and chaff is also good for one's own family! Children are the meat that falls from their parents, and if they are not in a desperate situation and cannot survive, who will sell their children and daughters? Besides, no matter how they treat me, they are still my parents and my family!"
In an instant, Liu San'er remembered how difficult the life of a mortal was more than twenty years before he didn't cultivate the truth, and his eyes suddenly moistened.
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiu, your parents will definitely be able to get through the difficulties!" Liu San'er escaped with a flying sword, and if it was too late, maybe he would burst into tears.
When they arrived at the Shenjian Peak Council Hall, Liang Siguo, Senior Brother Bei and the others were already ready to go.
Cheng Yi hasn't come yet?
In confusion, Liu San'er greeted Liang Siguo and Senior Brother Bei and got on the flying sword.
"Let's go!" Liang Siguo gave an order, and eleven sword lights rose into the sky.
When he went to the mountain protection array to enter and exit the method, he saw a leisurely and calm Cheng Yi waiting there.
"Cheng Yi Daoyou, what are you going to bring back from Jingshi this time?beads, silk, gouache, rouge?" asked Senior Brother Pei laughing.
"How much storage space do these things occupy?Bring them all!" Liang Siguo's thunderous voice sounded, and he said with a smile: "Otherwise, how can Cheng Yi Daoyou be fraternity!"
The monks burst into laughter.
"Cheng Yi Daoyou, I'm afraid that you have harmed several more virgins this year!"
"If you don't think so, you'll have a baby!"
"Wrong, wrong, except for Mei Ying, Tian Xiaoqin, and Wen Wen, the widows, Cheng Yi Daoyou can't look down on anyone!"
"The relationship between Cheng Yi Daoyou and Tang Mi is also very good, that is not a widow!"
"But you can't compare to that Fan channel friend, right?"
"Cheng Yi Daoyou, you and Fan Daoyou, you have all eaten up the meat, and you have to leave us a bite of the soup!"
Cheng Yi, who jumped into the flying sword, smiled and said: "This matter, everyone has to rely on their ability, and they have the ability to go by themselves, but no one is stopping you." ”
"Let's go!" Senior Brother Bei restrained his smile and said, "Fellow Daoists, rush to Jingshi before noon. ”
Liang Siguo took the lead with a sword, and Senior Brother Bei was half a body behind and followed closely.
"Keep up, don't fall out of sight!" Cheng Yi told Liu San'er.
"Where did you just go?" asked Liu San'er.
"It's a little easier!" Cheng Yi said with a smile: "It's a good opportunity to go to Beijing, in order to bring back some good things, those ordinary women often pay high-quality remuneration in advance, this is not much, you have to take advantage of the opportunity!"
After being stunned for a moment, Liu San'er understood what was going on, and was speechless for a moment.
