The cold wind blew on his face, scratching Xie Shuci's skin like a sharp blade.

He pushed the hood down a little, and the stone on his heart did not dissipate for a long time.

Xie Shuci was not fully prepared for the dangers he might encounter on the road ahead, and he almost never tried to face any dangers alone.

Unlike the situation when the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers and decided to leave Xiaoxianmen, this time Xie Shuci has deeply realized the ruthlessness and cruelty of this world, and he understands that he is truly alone now.

Fortunately, Xie Shuci is no longer as scared and incompetent as he was then.

After leaving Tianzhu City, Xie Shuci walked for five consecutive days, until he came to the place where Xie An had been together - Luofang City, he stopped for a while, and prepared to rest in the city for half a day before setting off. Happening.

Luofang City is located in the center of Bian Province. It was originally managed by the Helian family. After the fact that the head of the Helian family stole his fate was revealed, Baimen banned the qualifications of the Helian family's fairy gate, and it seems that another fairy gate has been in charge of Luofang. city.

"Do you need anything, sir?"

A man in a black cloak stood in front of the wonton stand. The peddler looked at him suspiciously and asked.

Most of the man's face was covered by the hood, only half of his thin and beautiful chin was exposed. The smooth and graceful lines of his chin inevitably made people look twice.

The man stood there in a daze for a long time, only to come back to his senses when he heard the peddler's voice. He lowered his head in a cover-up manner, and said in a muffled voice, "I want a bowl of two taels of wonton."

"Okay! Sir, please wait a moment."

Because the Xianmen general election is about to be held in Sangqi City, more and more Xianmen disciples have poured into Bian Province in recent days. Luofang City is located in the center of Bian Province, and there must be many disciples coming and going to the Xianmen family. There are also weird people, so don't take it too seriously.

It was already after noon, and there was no one in front of the wonton stall, so the man casually found a corner seat and sat down.

Smelling the aroma of wonton soup, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and took off the hood on his head, revealing a well-behaved and young face.

Xie Shuci stared helplessly at the wonton soup boiling in the pot, feeling very hungry.

Along the way, in order to avoid wasting time, he traveled day and night without stopping at all, let alone eating something delicious and hot. During these five days, he had hardly eaten any water. In Fangcheng, the place where Xie An passed by, Xie Shuci did not intend to stay at all.

Nothing has changed in Luofang City, and it is exactly the same as when Xie Shuci came here. It seems that the events of the Helian clan have not left any impact on them.

Thinking that he used to go in and out with Xie An, but now he was alone, Xie Shuci couldn't help but sighed, resting his chin with his right hand, he was stunned.

"Come on, guest officer, I've been waiting for a long time!"

The peddler brought a bowl of steaming wontons to Xie Shuci, seeing Xie Shuci's face, the peddler was taken aback.

Xie Shuci said his thanks and said, "The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, please make me an extra bowl of soup."

"Okay." The peddler came back to his senses, turned around and made a bowl of soup for Xie Shuci, "Guest officer, please use it slowly."

"Thank you."

Xie Shuci stuffed a wonton in one gulp, his mouth was steaming, his tongue was burned, he chewed it a few times before swallowing it.

The hot wonton slid down his throat and fell into his stomach, Xie Shuci's cold body finally felt a bit of warmth.

There was no one else at the wonton stand except Xie Shuci. The peddler stared at Xie Shuci boredly, smiled at his gobbling, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, where are you from? Why do I think you are a little Does it look familiar?"

Xie Shuci's body shook, and he lowered his head involuntarily. He was known to the world in Luofang City at the beginning. Maybe there are still people here who remember his appearance. Xie Shuci took a sip of soup and said: "I am from Bian Province. , when the Dragon Tooth Secret Realm opened, I came here with some senior brothers."

"Oh, no wonder." The peddler nodded, not seeming to doubt Xie Shuci's identity.

Xie Shuci breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't want to open his mouth to attract his attention, so he lowered his head very low, almost buried in the bowl.

But the peddler was probably very bored, and wanted to chat with Xie Shuci for a few more words, and then asked: "Guest officer, do you want to participate in the fairy gate election in Sangqi City?"

Xie Shuci hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then why are you alone? What about the others?"

His words suddenly hit Xie Shuci's heart, Xie Shuci's nose was sore, he buried his head a little lower, and the steaming wonton in his mouth became a little hard to swallow.

Xie Shuci's skin was relatively fair, especially when his cheeks were flushed, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little red, and his chewing movements slowed down.

This change in him was very obvious. The peddler also realized that he had said something wrong, and he was a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm sorry, I..."

Xie Shuci's eyes were a little wet, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just remembered something from the past."

Seeing that he was not very old, the peddler sat down next to him, and asked gently: "Guest officer, did something bad happen to you? If you need help, go to Feng's. By the way, you Maybe they don't know, since Patriarch Helian's affair was revealed, the Feng family has taken over Luofang City."

Xie Shuci hadn't spoken to anyone for several days, feeling the kindness of the hawker, Xie Shuci's nose felt even more sour. For him, if no one pays attention to him, he may still be able to bear it. Once someone cares about him, he feels that he can vent, and he can hardly control himself.

Xie Shuci pursed his lips and shook his head, "It's okay, I... something happened at home, and now I'm the only one left."

When the peddler heard it, "Oh... what is this called? Then you still have to go to Sangqi City?"

"……Um."

The peddler sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing.

Xie Shuci drank two sips of hot water, and suddenly heard a commotion in front of him. He hurriedly covered his head with the hood, picked up a piece of wonton and put it in his mouth.

"Keep your heads up!"

A few people wearing black student uniforms rushed into the nearby inn, holding a portrait in their hands, and were checking the faces of those people inside.

Xie Shuci vaguely heard them say his name, but he breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Xie Shuci's head was cut off for the portrait painted by Meng Lao, and they held it in their hands for comparison, they would never be able to do it. recognize yourself.

The peddler hurried to the door of the inn to take a look, then turned around and gestured to Xie Shuci twice, signaling him to leave quickly.

Xie Shuci looked at him suspiciously, but did not move.

The peddler gritted his teeth, walked to the table and said, "What are you still doing, run away!"

Xie Shuci was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

The peddler let out a "tsk" and lifted him up from the chair. Xie Shuci quickly picked up the wontons, "What, why? I haven't finished eating yet..."

"Don't you know?"

"Know what." Xie Shuci looked confused.

"Not long ago, Baimen had someone repaint your portrait, and those people are arresting you! The disciples of the Feng family will not do anything to you, but those people were sent by Baimen!"

"Do you know who I am?"

"nonsense!"

Seeing that the group of disciples had come out of the inn, Xie Shuci set up a barrier around him with a wonton bowl.

This enchantment was taught by Si Kongye, and ordinary monks can't find it.

The peddler looked at Xie Shuci who suddenly disappeared before his eyes, his eyes widened in astonishment, and the group of disciples went to the next place after seeing his appearance.

After the group of people walked away, Xie Shuci released the barrier, and more than half of the wontons in the bowl had been wiped out.

The peddler rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Xie Shuci: "..."

"What do you say?

The peddler hurriedly pulled Xie Shuci to sit beside him, "What kind of spell are you doing? Teach me? If I go out to play cards in the middle of the night, my wife won't find me!"

Xie Shuci flipped a Byakugan and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"Ah, Xie Shuci, who doesn't know.

"Damn!" Xie Shuci put down his chopsticks and covered his mouth, "Slow down! Don't expose me!"

The peddler patted his hand down, "By the way, what kind of relationship do you really have with Xiao Xun?

"..." Xie Shuci was speechless, "I can't see that you are quite gossip, are you not afraid of me? Are you not afraid of him?"

The peddler shrugged and said: "What does the matter of you cultivators have to do with us ordinary people? It doesn't matter who you are, anyway, you saved us at the beginning, and I can't repay my kindness. However, you should leave quickly, or sooner or later you will die. If they find out, and if they know that I am protecting you, I will be finished!"

Xie Shuci couldn't help laughing, and his dull mood lasted for several days, because a stranger who had never met before made a few words and a few words became better.

Xie Shuci took a last sip of wonton soup, "Thank you."

"Don't get close, this account has to be settled."

"understood!"

Xie Shuci took out a silver ingot, and the peddler took it with a smile, "As expected of Mr. Xie, you are so generous! Wait a moment, guest officer, I will find the little one for you."

When the hawker found a lot of money and was about to hand over to Xie Shuci, he turned around and found that the place was already empty. A smiling sentence floated in the air: "Thank you, I'm leaving."

The hawker froze for a moment, looked at the empty wonton stall, and suddenly sighed.

"Everything is impermanent!"

Seeing that half of the wontons were left in the bowl, the peddler muttered, "Excessive spending!"

"Don't pay me back!" Xie Shuci's voice suddenly came from the air.

The peddler put on a smiling face for a moment, quickly stuffed the money into his arms, and said with a sneer, "You haven't left yet?"

Xie Shuci originally planned to stay in Luofang City for half a day to rest, but he didn't expect such a mistake. He had no choice but to set an enchantment on himself and left Luofang City swaggeringly.

However, this trip still yielded something, and Xie Shuci's mood became much better than when he came here.

At least, in the realm of comprehension, he hasn't reached the point where he is really shouted and killed by everyone, and there are still people who don't care even if they know his identity.

Xie Shuci is a bit unbearable at this level, and I don’t know how Xie An was rejected by the entire cultivation world and still doesn’t matter. To die alone.

Leaving Luofang City smoothly, Xie Shuci released the crane from the Shenzhou and took it to the surrounding mountains to eat some spirit grass.

Spiritual grasses are relatively rare here, Xie Shuci searched for half an hour before he found a place full of spiritual grasses, let the crane eat in the grass for a while, and he leaned against a tree to rest for a while.

Maybe it was because spirit was too tense in the past few days, feeling the wind blowing on face, exuding the smell of green grass and soil, fell asleep without knowing it.

In the hazy room, the breeze was blowing.

Even in his sleep, Xie Shuci still did not dare to relax his vigilance. He vaguely heard a few human voices not far away, and his consciousness was withdrawn from his sleep in an instant. He opened his eyes suddenly and found that these human voices were not far away from him. At this point, he lowered his upper body, almost prostrate on the ground, covered himself with the half-human tall spirit grass, and looked over there quietly.

Seeing a few immortal disciples surrounding the crane and chatting about something, Xie Shuci said inwardly, he folded his fingers unconsciously, and quickly thought about what to do in his mind.

It's not a problem for him to get away by himself, but what about the crane? He can't leave the crane in this place, can he?

Xie Shuci gritted his teeth. Judging from the clothes of several people, they should not be from Baimen. This place is so close to Luofang City, there should be no other outsiders who came to the mountain specifically to find somewhere. don’t know if they are Not the disciple of the Feng family as the wonton vendor said.

What the peddler said was that at the beginning, he and Chu Guiyi helped He Lianzhu kill the Patriarch Helian, unsealed the seal of Luofang City and saved them, so even if the Feng family caught him, they would not do anything to him. In this situation, Xie Shuci can only gamble!

Moreover, these disciples seem to be younger than Xie An, and they might not be his opponents. Xie Shuci should be able to get the crane out of their hands, but... In this way, his traces will inevitably be To be exposed, but this is also a matter of no choice, he can't kill people to silence him, right?

Xie Shuci concealed his breath and planned to take a closer look at the situation.

Xie Shuci crawled forward on the grass, but was not noticed by this group of young monks, probably because they were too young to venture into the world of comprehension by themselves, ignorant of the possible dangers, Xie Shuci couldn't help but relax One bite, I feel that these people should be easy to deal with.

Without further delay, Xie Shuci stood up from the grass, "What are you doing here?"

Xie Shuci clasped his hands in front of his chest, raised his chin, and tried to make himself look a bit fierce, with a high-spirited look.

The sudden appearance of the people really scared the little monks.

They reacted and drew their swords at Xie Shuci.

Xie Shuci looked at the silver-white sword blades in their hands, and regretted for a moment, why didn't he think of carrying a weapon with him! Although he doesn't know how to use it very much, he can bluff people!

He originally wanted to take the wooden sword that Xiao Xun gave to him before, but he searched the room several times but couldn't find it. It probably wasn't something valuable, so Xiao Xun threw it away without knowing what.

Just when Xie Shuci was still thinking about whether he should just deal with them directly, he saw one of the little monks pointing at Xie Shuci, and said dumbfounded: "I've seen you! You are... um! "

The moment he opened his mouth, Xie Shuci planned to strike directly, but in the middle of his words, four or five people who were walking with him suddenly covered their mouths and noses and stretched their limbs.

"To shut up!"

"You know a fart!"

"Walking around, the owner asked us to find the herb, and we should go back quickly!"

Xie Shuci watched helplessly as the four or five people walked back with the little monk in the middle.

The crane lifted its hoof calmly and continued to eat its own grass.

Xie Shuci: "?"

What is this scenario?

"Ah! I remembered something!"

The few little monks who had been walking away suddenly stopped.

"Is there anything you can't go back and talk about!"

"Cough... just suddenly remembered, we, we... what kind of sect are we?"

Others looked at him suspiciously, and under the gesture of his frantic eyes, they suddenly realized, covered their mouths and coughed dryly, "Of course we are Feng's family in Bian Province!"

"Oh, I remember that our young master and many inner disciples were trapped in the Dragon Tooth Secret Realm and couldn't get out. At that time, I tried many methods to no avail. Finally, one day, the young master and the others suddenly came back and said... ..."

"Yeah? What did you say?"

The little monk looked back at Xie Shuci, saw that Xie Shuci was listening to them, and then continued: "It seems that a group of unknown people opened the secret realm and released them! The Patriarch has long wanted to thank them personally !"

"I see!"

"Yes, yes."

Xie Shuci: "..."

"That's right! Also, and, although our family decided not to participate in the Xianmen general election, the head of the family has also learned some information beforehand. I heard, it seems to have heard that the top ten of the hundred sects said that before going to Sangqi City On the only way to go, even if that... what is the place called?"

"I also heard from the owner that it's Moonwood, right?"

"Oh! It's Yue, Man, Wu, the most famous cultivation academy in the cultivation world in the legend!"

Xie Shuci: "..."

Actually, I can hear you if you keep your voice down.

"That's right, it is said that there are at least a dozen disciples of the immortal family ambush there! It seems that if you want to catch Xie He and Xiao He before they enter Sangqi City, you can directly gain the opportunity to enter the Buddha Mirror Already!"

"So it is! So it is!"

"So, there are so many people lying in ambush in Yue, Man, and Wu!"

Xie Shuci: "..."

Got it, thank you all.

"Okay, there's nothing to ask about the legs, let's go."

"Walk……"

"Ah! I remembered!" The disciple who was in the middle suddenly turned his head and pointed at Xie Shuci, "You are just thanking...uh!"

However, before he finished speaking, several other people covered their mouths and walked forward.

"Thank you so much!"

"Thank you ass!"

"No no no!"

The little monk's eyes

Wide open, staring at Xie Shuci without blinking.

Xie Shuci laughed and waved at him.

He turned over and stepped on the horse, planted a layer of enchantment on himself and the crane, and left the Liling Grassland.

On the way back, several young monks from the Feng family were talking about the people they met just now.

"What are you doing! He is Xie Shuci!"

"Nonsense! We are not blind!"

"Doesn't the Patriarch want to see him? Why do you..."

"Aren't you out of your mind! Now the cultivator from Hundred Gates is in our city, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth if you invite him back now! Don't forget, he is just a Pill Cultivator, how could he beat Hundred Gates?" those people!"

"...oh, yes."

"But seriously, it's pretty good-looking."

"I heard that Xiao Xun is also good-looking. He really looks like a man and a woman... Bah! A man and a man are a natural match!"

"Can you talk? Seriously though, little Pill Cultivator and Slaughter Daoist monk... tsk tsk is so exciting!"

While the few people were talking, they suddenly felt that something had fallen from the top of their heads, and they subconsciously reached out to take it. Not long after, a few white pills fell into their palms out of thin air.

Several people immediately widened their eyes and breathed disorderly, "This is... this is... a high-grade pill?! How could it be..."

Others grabbed the back of his head, and all of them knelt down on the spot, clasped their fists together and said to the void, "Thank you, senior!"

Even if no one responded, they still knelt on the spot for a while before getting up and leaving.

When walking in the direction of Luofang City, one of the disciples turned his head and looked in the completely opposite direction from Luofang City. On the road that was empty a moment ago, a figure riding a white horse suddenly appeared.

He was probably in a good mood, humming a brisk tune, which faintly echoed in everyone's ears from a distance of several feet.

Several people stopped in unison and looked back.

I saw the man sitting on horseback at the end of the road also turned his head in a tacit understanding.

He raised a bright smiling face, squinted his eyes, and saw a few little monks looking at him, so he opened his arms gracefully, swung them vigorously in the air a few times, and opened and closed his lips. , as if saying goodbye to them.

The white horse under him deliberately raised its front hooves high, trying to throw him off its back. He quickly turned his head and grabbed the rein, stabilized his body, and leaned over to curse at the white horse's ear.

A few little monks looked at him stupidly, until he and Bai Ju disappeared at the end of the road, and then slowly looked away.

"he's great……"

What good?

I don't know how to describe it.

The most silent young disciple in the team turned around and said, "He's like a very bright color, enough to cover anything."

If the color is too bright, people who like it will like it very much, and those who don't like it will hate it.

"If you're with someone like this, it should be fun, right?"

"Damn it! Suddenly I'm envious of Xiao Xun, that big devil."

"It's so annoying! I don't know why, I feel like crying..."

"……Me too."

After leaving the vicinity of Luofang City, Xie Shuci felt that he was resurrected with full blood.

Although his whereabouts may be exposed, Xie Shuci is still glad that he can come to Luofang City.

The place visited with the little blind man was so beautiful, enough to comfort Xie Shuci's heart.

So what if the road ahead is bumpy, Xie Shuci does not lack the courage to go through it.

——

South of Bian Province, Moonfull Dock.

Moonwood is a town made up of one college.

There are disciples from various prefectures in the city, and there are many talents here every year. Even in Huai Zhou, which is the farthest, there are many immortal families who send their valued disciples here to teach.

Most of the city are young disciples, and at a glance from the street, they are all a group of young faces, very pleasing to the eye.

At that time, a large group of people came to the gate of Moonwood.

The leading man looked dignified, his eyes were smiling, and he looked gentle and refined.

He looked back at the dawdling disciples behind him, and shouted, "Wenfeng."

Chu Wenfeng wrinkled his face, looking at the three big characters "Moonwood" written on the door, with a very reluctant expression.

"I don't want to come to this place again in this life." Chu Wenfeng said cursingly, "A bunch of old beasts!"

"Wenfeng!" Chu Guiyi looked at him sharply.

Chu Wenfeng waved his hand, "I know, I know!"

Chu Wenfeng attended classes in Yuemanwu for half a year a few years ago, and finally couldn’t take it anymore, so he sneaked back to the Chu family, and refused to come back. The head of the Chu family almost beat his legs, but he didn’t let go. In the end, it was Chu Guiyi who came forward and agreed to teach Chu Wenfeng, and the matter was dropped.

A group of people entered Moonwood, and the street was full of young men and women monks, all of whom were dressed in extraordinary clothes. At first glance, they were not disciples of ordinary people.

There was a woman sitting in a teahouse by the side of the road. She held her hands on her cheeks, looked at the portrait in her hand obsessively, and smirked from time to time, "Good brother..."

Chu Wenfeng shuddered when he heard her crisp voice, and couldn't help but glance at the portrait.

The one on the portrait is none other than Xie Shuci's dog face.

Chu Wenfeng endured the discomfort in his heart, and turned to ask Chu Guiyi: "Eldest brother, I don't know where that kid Xie Shuci is, has he been caught?"

Chu Guiyi shook his head and said, "The script should not be caught easily by them."

Chu Wenfeng nodded, "Yes."

The two raised their heads, and suddenly saw a few familiar figures in front of them, and they couldn't help but pause.

Chu Guiyi looked at those people in surprise, and murmured, "Why are they here?"
