Chapter 115 A journey of mountains and rivers is a blessing for three lives
At sunrise that day, the sky was covered with a layer of red clouds that lingered for a long time.
The buildings in the streets and alleys that had become dilapidated due to the war were now intact overnight. Every household in Chunjiu Alley that was lucky enough to witness the war picked up a copper coin from the door with the words "Spring Thunder Begins" engraved on it.
.
Holding it in the palm of your hand, it's like gurgling water flowing through your heart, bringing you indescribable peace and shade.
There was an elderly man in the town. He had traveled around as a businessman in the early years, so he was naturally well-informed. He took it and took a look at it, saying that this was the fairy money used by the gods on the mountain.
The wonderful function of warding off evil spirits in the house is why the mountain god asked us to remember him.
Unable to withstand the hard work of this group of people, the old man finally had to relent. A Jingzhe coin was exchanged for Daqi folk silver taels, which was one thousand taels of silver.
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning. People who had not benefited could not help complaining about this fairy grandpa's favoritism; people who had received copper coins looked at this windfall, and they could not think about food and drink, and had trouble sleeping and eating.
, I have no choice but to stay at home every day, fearing that others will miss me.
In the end, most of the residents in Chunjiu Alley took the copper coins to the pawn shop, exchanged them for free money, and moved into new mansions.
This was in accordance with the wish of the master.
Xia Ze looked at the red cloud on the horizon and already knew the outcome of last night's battle.
After hastily bidding farewell to Luyi Lane, Xia Ze and He Xu and his party left Qingcheng Town and headed west, walking leisurely towards Daqi Dongjing.
It's just that this time, Xia Ze and He Xu put on the dignity brought by Wu Zhui and changed into a pair of honors, so as to hide themselves from others.
A young man with a scar on his cheek, his originally bright eyes now turned into single eyelids that looked less energetic.
As for He Xu, he turned into a kid with a flat nose, and his face was even darker than before.
The two guys, whose looks had changed drastically, couldn't stand upright when they saw each other's appearance for the first time.
The journey was extremely slow. It was not until they left Qingcheng Town and walked nearly 60 miles of mountain roads in two days that Xu Xiuzhu arrived belatedly. As early as when they parted, Xia Ze and Xu Xiuzhu had agreed to travel to Daqi together.
, after arriving in Dongjing, Xia Ze will take the rest of the people to Xihai Liuzhou to sharpen the sword's heart and sword's will.
In the past two days, Xu Xiuzhu accompanied Yan Yingluo to visit the streets and alleys of Qingcheng Town, shopping for delicious food and drinks. Sometimes just a glance from the corner of Yan Yingluo's eyes made Xu Xiuzhu want to
The whole stall was bought and given to her.
The woman is as naughty as she was when she was a child. She often takes a bite of fresh food and then leaves it to Xu Xiuzhu to deal with the aftermath, making him wish he could grow eight hands out of thin air.
The two of them were leisurely and happy, and in this Qingcheng town, there was no secular ethics to hinder them. Even if they held the man's hand openly in broad daylight, it seemed a bit immoral in the eyes of those market women who couldn't rub it in their eyes, but
There is no need to get into trouble with the Ling family.
When the two of them finally arrived at the Rouge Shop, Xu Xiuzhu's hands were already filled with food of all sizes. The shopkeeper was a pretty woman in her mid-teens. Looking at this posture, they quickly saw the relationship between the two.
, so he warmly greeted the business.
Xu Xiuzhu looked a little shy and asked hesitantly which rouge and gouache was the best.
The woman's eyes lit up, she glanced at Yan Yingluo with a smile, covered her face and said with a smile: "As long as the young master carefully selects it, this young lady will definitely like it."
Their faces were as red as ripe persimmons, so Xu Xiuzhu carefully selected from the pile of rouges that could be compared to heaven's book, and finally found a rouge that smelled of orchid.
His hands were trembling a little. The rouge was good, but not the most expensive. After all, he was a little short of money after eating, drinking and having fun all the way. But the woman took the rouge, held it in her arms, and looked so happy that Xu Xiuzhu's nose was a little sore.
.
She held Xu Xiuzhu's arm and chattered non-stop, without feeling any sadness about the impending separation.
On the second day, the table in Xu Xiuzhu's room was filled with various items that Yan Yingluo secretly prepared for him, including golden medicine, detoxification pills, finely crafted umbrellas, a few books to relieve boredom in his spare time, and brand new ones.
He had a change of clothes, a few pairs of boots, and a variety of unnamed exquisite pastries. When he put the package on his back, he seemed to be carrying a huge tree stump.
My favorite is a rather cute portrait of a woman. In the picture, Yan Yingluo has her hands on her hips in an upright manner, as if she is worried about the man she loves getting involved with others.
There are also a few lines of small words on the side: Domestic flowers do not have the fragrance of wild flowers, so there is no need to pick wild flowers on the roadside. Brother Xiuzhu has good luck in martial arts and returns home soon.
Xu Xiuzhu was reluctant to say goodbye, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. Later, Yan Yingluo served another bowl of steaming dumplings. It is the custom here to put the dumplings on the horse and the noodles on the horse, so a traveler who travels far away must eat a bowl of dumplings.
of.
It was the first time that the eldest daughter of the Yan family, who had never touched Yang Chun Shui, cooked for her sweetheart. He naturally wanted to reward her. Strangely enough, the dumplings seemed to be extra salty. Yan Yingluo rested her elbows on the table and dragged her palms.
Cheeks squinting, full of expectation.
Xu Xiuzhu only took one look at her red eyes and understood everything.
Earlier, Lu Yixiang patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said, as a master, you can only look after your wife for three years. After three years, whether you can marry Ying Luo depends on you.
Holding the beautiful woman tightly in his arms, feeling the warmth coming from his petite body, this man with an open-minded nature had tears all over his face and couldn't stop sobbing.
The group of people joined together and walked nearly sixty miles in three days. Going further, they reached Baiyuan Pass, which borders Suye City.
Before sunrise, Xia Ze, He Xu, and Xu Xiuzhu would find an open space and stand for a while. Then, Xia Ze would take the lead and practice the Baji Fist formula over and over again, including the six major openings and the eight major moves.
According to Xu Xiuzhu's words, this set of boxing techniques is practical but not flashy. Each move is quite a test of the martial artist's physique. If he fails to find the right way to exert strength and luck, not only will he not be able to strengthen his body, but he will also lose his vitality.
Therefore, He Xu was often the first to lie down on the ground, sweating profusely, panting, unwilling to get up, and then Xu Xiuzhu, who persisted three times, had to lose. Xia Ze was already in the illusion of boxing,
After punching nearly 30,000 times, the movements of the punches are sent and received smoothly, and naturally they become much smoother.
What also impressed Xu Xiuzhu and He Xu was that the young man seemed to be very patient. He walked on a pile when he was on the road, and he also stood and punched in his spare time. He was particularly diligent. In just three days, he had punched nearly a thousand punches.
After walking for a few more days, the weather became slightly cooler, and Bai Lu had transformed back into the short little donkey. During this period, He Xu mostly walked by himself, and the number of times he rode on him was very few.
In just a few days, the child wearing straw sandals walked many mountain roads, and soon his feet were covered with calluses. Xia Ze was both relieved and distressed.
Xia Ze gave Ayu the Thunder-Respawning Soul Cauldron that he had previously obtained from Ling Wei, saying that the heavenly thunder in the cauldron was milder than the thunder calamity thunder, so that Ayu could adapt to it in advance.
Even so, every time Ayu bathes in the cauldron, the pain is no less than a cramp, but there are also benefits. The faint evil spirit originally exuded from his body almost dissipates after bathing in this small thunder pond, and even his own spiritual power becomes
It has been enriched a bit, and even without the need to reveal the true form of the great demon, the casting speed will be much faster, and the power of the spell will not be greatly reduced.
Ayu recently discovered that the dark-skinned kid seemed to be a little afraid of her. Every time she approached, before she spoke, the kid would hide away somewhere else. At other times, she would have been too lazy to care about this little thing, but now she doesn't.
No way, these days of stop and go are really boring.
Those three stinky men seemed to have their own thoughts in their hearts. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the first two were either practicing boxing or in a daze. Xu Xiuzhu would take out the portrait from time to time and look at it in a daze. The only one
Bai Lu, who was from the same demon clan as Ayu, turned back into that donkey, indescribably lazy. Even if she lowered her body and tried to chat with him, he would ignore her.
Ayu was bored. In the past few days, he had spent all his life learning to relieve his boredom. He either took out an unawakened frog from the pool and forced people to talk; he caught a passing rabbit and let the male rabbit die as if to settle the case.
Wu Yiten explained how many rabbit ladies he had harmed and how many rabbit babies he had given birth to. The whole nest of rabbits was trembling and wanted to cry without tears.
On this day, while Xia Ze and Xu Xiuzhu were discussing the method of refining qi, Ayu immediately blocked He Xu who wanted to find Bai Lu. The boy wanted to run away, but Ayu carried him over by his clothes.
Xia Ze just glanced at it and continued chatting with Xu Xiuzhu with a smile.
"Kid, are you afraid of me?" Ayu said with a sly smile.
He Xu was stunned for a moment, but nodded.
Ayu put him down and then sat down cross-legged: "Hey, tell me, is your sister better-looking or me?"
He Xu scratched his head and did not hesitate: "Sister Ayu, I'm afraid I won't convince everyone when I say this. Sister Ayu is very good-looking. She is prettier than many women in Yunxi Town. She seems to be unattainable in the sky.
The clouds are also like the moon I saw when I climbed high with my sword, but because I am the younger brother of my sister He Xi, my sister is still more beautiful."
The smile on Ayu's face gradually became brighter. She put her fingertips on He Xu's forehead and cursed with a smile: "Glib accent."
This answer satisfied her, but she was really bored, so she joked: "Your sister is so good-looking, but as far as I know, Xia Ze has someone else in mind."
He Xu drooped his head and nodded: "Sister Ayu, I know this, and my sister must also like Xia Ze. I was not willing to have Xia Ze be my brother-in-law before, but now I regret it. Xia Ze
, the girl he likes..."
The two looked at each other and smiled, no words needed.
Ayu stretched out, and the breeze swayed her hair on her temples. She stood up and said, "The maid must look like a maid."
While Xu Xiuzhu was chatting, he picked up a branch and wrote something on the ground. Xia Ze took a closer look: He was not as young as before, and it was not up to you and me to get together or leave.
Xia Ze picked up the branches and began to write hastily: A journey through mountains and rivers is a blessing in three lifetimes.
Suddenly, dense black shadows flew over their heads. When the two of them looked up, they saw that they were hundreds of sword cultivators who had traveled thousands of miles away to use their swords.
