Chapter 22: Xu Xiaohua

When Zhang Ye returned to the inn, it was already afternoon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Xia Rou saw Zhang Ye come back, obviously relieved, but she didn't ask anything. Zhang Ye didn't explain, he asked the guy for a table of good dishes, and after eating, he took a short rest, and it was dark.

At this time, Zhang Ye suddenly realized that he only needed one room, turned around and walked outside the house, found the man, and wanted to ask for another room, but was told that the room was full, so he had to return to the house in a daze, so he was not embarrassed.

Xia Rou sat on the edge of the bed, saw Zhang Ye's embarrassed look, smiled, but didn't know what to say. The child seems to be in much better spirits these days, shrinking into his mother's arms, rolling his eyes, and looking at Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye drank the cold tea on the table and said, "In a few days, after settling you down, I will leave." ”

Xia Rou was stunned for a moment, nodded, and felt a sense of loss in her heart, only then did she realize that unconsciously, she had become dependent on the young man in front of her.

Zhang Ye didn't pay attention to the change in Xia Rou's expression, looked at the night outside the window, frowned slightly, and after a while, he turned his head, coughed with embarrassment, and said, "You guys go to sleep first." ”

Xia Rou was not polite to Zhang Ye, and lay down on the bed with the child in her arms, but Zhang Ye was still drinking herbal tea, frowning.

Zhang Ye worked hard for two days before he bought a habitable house in an alley in the west of the city, moved in with his mother and son, cleaned and tidyed up, and spent another two days on furniture and supplies before he finally arranged everything properly.

Xia Rou knew that she couldn't keep Zhang Ye, and she didn't say anything about it, but just cooked the meal with her own hands to show her gratitude.

The dish is a simple and delicate home-cooked side dish, and the three of them sit at the table and are silent. The atmosphere was a little dull, and Zhang Ye remembered that the last time he had eaten like this was two months ago......

Zhang Ye didn't dare to think about it, buried himself in eating, and walked outside, but saw Xia Rou chasing after him. Xia Rou took out a piece of emerald jade pendant from her bosom, handed it to Zhang Ye, and said, "You go to Jiyun Sect and give this to my father." ”

Xia Rou had tears hidden in her eyes and said, "There are some things, don't talk about them." ”

Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, nodded, and walked along the street until he turned the corner of the street, and no longer saw the figure, Xia Rou was still standing in place, with tears streaming down her face.

Zhang Ye walked on the street, pedestrians came and went, and the noisy sound came into his ears, thinking about the days spent with the mother and son these days, he actually had a sudden feeling in his heart, as if he had been abandoned and became alone again. Zhang Ye knew that this was just his own illusion, he was not abandoned, he chose to be alone.

When Zhang Ye returned to the inn, his heart had calmed down, he drank a few sips of herbal tea on the table, turned around and sat on the bed, with a flash of inspiration in his hand, and took out a pill, which was a lark pill.

This elixir was obtained from the storage bags of the two Qingyang Palace disciples, there were three in total, Zhang Ye asked for two, and the remaining one was given to Hua Xiaoyan, and there were some other things in the bag, and the two of them divided it together.

Zhang Ye put the pill in his mouth, and a clear stream flowed down his throat, but in a moment, the spiritual power in his body surged, and Zhang Ye hurriedly used his skills to refine the medicinal power. I saw a faint spiritual light flickering on his body, and it took a long time before he stopped.

Zhang Ye had a flash of inspiration in his hand, took out another pill, put it in his mouth, and refined the medicinal power, and it took a long time before he opened his eyes, and there was a faint joy in his eyebrows, and his cultivation had already broken through the seventh layer of qi training.

After a while, Zhang Ye frowned slightly, and the spirit in his body was surging, not as calm and spiritual as before, presumably because of the unstable realm. Zhang Ye closed his eyes to regulate the aura in his body, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.

Zhang Ye asked the shopkeeper for good food, and after eating, he returned to the room and took out a jade slip, which was also obtained from the storage bags of the two disciples of Qingyang Palace, and what was recorded on it was a spell called "Phantom Technique", which was the same origin as the light spirit step that Zhang Ye had learned before.

Zhang Ye watched it for a long time, and he already realized the key to it, this spell is to intercept his own breath and condense it into an illusion, which has the effect of confusing the enemy, but it consumes a lot of spiritual power, so it must be used carefully.

Zhang Ye practiced once in the room, and he felt that his mind was greatly consumed, and most of the spiritual power in his body was lost, and for a while, the spiritual power in his body was churning, and there were faint signs of loss of control.

Zhang Ye has been living in the inn, while steadily cultivating, while studying spells, after a few days, Hua Xiaoyan arrived as promised, Zhang Ye retreated from the room, and left Nanqu City, along the way he came.

The two of them were quite fast, and it took three days to reach Anhe Town outside the Deshan Mountains, prepare dry food, and then go to the mountains, and it took more than half a month to finally arrive at Shanlu Town in the west of the Delianyun Mountains.

Shanlu Town is still lively, people come and go, the narrow streets still seem crowded, the two of them walked towards the inn in the town, planning to rest for a day, and then rush to the direction of Jiyun Sect.

The two walked into the inn, and met a person walking out head-on, this person was tall, but he lowered his head, so that people could not see his face clearly, and stumbled under his feet, which was to hit the two of them, and his palm was actually touching Zhang Ye's waist, Zhang Ye frowned, stretched out his hand to block this person, and pushed the person to the ground.

The man quickly got up from the ground and ran down the street. Zhang Ye looked at the back of this person, paused for a moment, and suddenly showed a surprised look on his face, and chased along the street.

However, after a while, Zhang Ye saw the previous person on the corner of the street, who was sitting in the corner with his head down, not noticing that Zhang Ye was approaching.

Zhang Ye frowned and said, "Xu Xiaohua?"

This person was shocked, raised his head suddenly, saw Zhang Ye, and paused for a long time before his face changed, and he couldn't tell whether it was surprise or fear, "Sledgehammer?"

"It's me. Zhang Ye ignored Hua Xiaoyan's strange gaze and said, "Why are you here?"

Xu Xiaohua's body involuntarily moved back, looking at Zhang Ye puzzled.

Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, and a bad premonition was born in his heart, and said, "What happened?"

Xu Xiaohua's face changed again, and her expression was even more strange, she stopped her gaze on the girl behind Zhang Ye, and then moved her gaze back to Zhang Ye, as if she understood something, but she didn't understand more, he glanced at Zhang Ye again, and said, "How did you survive that day?"

Zhang Ye instantly remembered the night when he escaped from the cottage with Xia Rou's mother and son, his eyes were shocked, and he said to Xu Xiaohua. Xu Xiaohua's face was full of shock, and he glanced at Hua Xiaoyan again, he thought that Hua Xiaoyan was Xia Rou.

Xu Xiaohua said with a frightened look on her face: "No wonder, no wonder." Luckily you escaped in time!"

Zhang Ye asked again, "What happened that day?"

"Traps, they're all traps!" Xu Xiaohua stomped on the ground fiercely and said, "The entire Sky Wolf Village is a trap, it's all dead!"

"The master of the Heavenly Wolf Village is not dead at all, and we have all fallen for the tricks of the Heavenly Wolf Village. That day, the brothers rushed into the wolf village, and the sky was dark, and they were about to kill all the dogs and cubs in the wolf village, and then I don't know what happened, the brothers seemed to be all crazy, and even their own brothers ......were killed."

As she spoke, Xu Xiaohua's eyes were full of horror, and she felt that no words could describe the tragedy of that day, so she paused for a moment before saying, "Fortunately, Lao Tzu pretended to be dead and escaped." ”

Zhang Ye was silent, thinking of the situation that day, and he was also afraid in his heart, he guessed that the place must have been manipulated, and after a while, he said: "Brother ...... the village"

"It's a fart village," Xu Xiaohua said, "The Sky Wolf Village is all gone, and the Tiger Village is gone!"

Zhang Ye was silent again, walked towards the inn with Xu Xiaohua, and asked the guy for good dishes, but he was silent all the time. Seeing Xu Xiaohua's behavior towards him at the door of the inn just now, he knew that his current life was probably not easy, and he actually had a feeling of kinship in his heart.

After eating, Xu Xiaohua said: "Sledgehammer, I see that your kid is having a good life now, you have to take your brother with you." ”

Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the depressed look on his rough face, he was even more embarrassed in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of those men in the cottage who drank boldly and were full of swearing.

Zhang Ye said: "We are going to Jiyun Sect, there are many auspicious and less auspicious, do you want to go too?"

Hearing about Jiyun Sect, Xu Xiaohua's eyes lit up and asked, "How many murderers are there?"

Zhang Ye said: "Let's kill a person, that person has a mid-stage foundation cultivation." ”

Xu Xiaohua's face changed, she frowned and thought for a long time, and asked, "That's ...... What's the benefit of killing that man?"

Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xu Xiaohua in surprise, and said, "It's no good, he wants to kill me, I have to kill him." ”

Xu Xiaohua's face changed again, and said, "You want to be an enemy of Jiyun Sect?"

"Naturally not. ”

Xu Xiaohua lifted the wine jug on the table and poured a big sip, and said, "Go, damn it, these days, I am always unsteady in my heart, so I should hide away." ”

Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you afraid of?"

Xu Xiaohua's face turned pale instantly, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said nothing, what he was afraid of was those dead brothers, and what he was afraid of was those ghosts who would not disperse, but how could he tell others such things.

Zhang Ye saw that Xu Xiaohua's expression was different, but he kept silent, didn't ask more, asked the guy in the store for a room, and set off to Jiyun Sect the next day.

In just one month, Xu Xiaohua's cultivation has also increased a lot, at this time, there is already a fourth-level cultivation of qi, but it is still a little worse than Zhang Ye and the two, the speed of the three of them is a lot slower, there is nothing to do all the way, after seven days, the three of them have also arrived at the next town under the mountain gate of Deji Yunzong.

The town is called Jinde Town, which is quite prosperous, the streets are wide, there is an endless stream of pedestrians, and there are disciples of Jiyun Sect in the town to guard it, and the order is stable, peaceful and peaceful.

The three of them chose three adjacent rooms to live in the inn in the town, Xu Xiaohua saw that Zhang Ye did not live in the same room as Hua Xiaoyan, and the look on his face was very surprised, although he already knew the specific identities of the two, but he always believed that the two must have a deeper relationship.

Zhang Ye ignored Xu Xiaohua's frowning and walked straight to the room. He had never seen any trace of the Zhang family all the way, which made him feel uneasy. Regardless of others, Zhang Yancheng will not let himself go.
