Xia Ze felt a little guilty. After all, he had promised Xu Xiuzhu not to be involved in the matter anymore to avoid getting burned. However, Yin Shen secretly took Tuntian out of his body and went to compete with the sword cultivators for the Beacon Fire Juyi Plate.
Unexpected.
And he had a slight feeling that if the evil spirit had gone his own way and completely ignored his instructions, he would have definitely gone on a killing spree and caused a catastrophe. This assumption was not groundless, but Xia Ze's friend knew it very well.
He sighed silently in his heart. Ever since he gave birth to the Yin Shen, Tun Tian gradually became a little alienated from him. Xia Ze had no other choice for a while, so he had to silently suppress the Yin Shen in his pupils. If he can't find it again in the future,
With proper restraint, maybe one day, these two guys will completely go against him.
Xu Xiuzhu waited for a long time, but did not see Xia Ze speak, so he stopped asking.
Xia Ze's face was covered, and his facial features could change freely, but he couldn't see the blush on his face. He suddenly smiled and said: "That girl is so cute. She taught me swordsmanship, and she went through life and death with me."
Xu Xiuzhu was startled. The young man's face had changed, and it could be said that he was completely different from the previous one, which even made him a little uncomfortable. However, his dark eyes were shining with light and full of energy.
The young man showed no signs of fatigue and recounted the past events of how he met Mu Tao and his party, how he fought with Yan Song and defeated Cao Bing.
Xu Xiuzhu caressed Yan Yingluo's portrait with one hand and carefully put it into his pocket, fearing that the smoke would damage the treasure. Then he asked with a smile: "This girl is so nice, does she like you?"
The young man who was originally in high spirits suddenly shuddered when the cold water was poured on him, like an eggplant beaten by frost. He lowered his head, like an old dog whose back was whipped, and said with a gloomy expression: "
I don’t know, maybe..."
Since Xu Xiuzhu met him, this was the first time he saw such a dejected Xia Ze. He seemed to have lost all his energy at once, so he asked, "What could it be?"
"Maybe she doesn't like me." Xia Ze said calmly.
Xu Xiuzhu raised his eyebrows, his tone seemed a little angry, and asked: "If that girl doesn't like you, or has never liked you, and will never like you in her life, what will you do?"
Xia Ze shook his head, and his tone seemed to be natural: "If that girl doesn't like me, it doesn't matter. I will cherish that memory for the rest of my life. When I wake up from a dream, or when I am alone and drunk, I will think about it. There was a girl.
When I was just a warrior in the Stone Realm, he risked his life to fight with me against the warriors in the Seventh Realm, and in order to save me, he peeled off half of his immortal body."
After a long pause, the young man tore off the skin on his face, revealing a handsome but slightly sad face, with twisted eyebrows and drooped head, as if he only dared to be so sad for a while while hiding in an uninhabited corner.
He murmured: "It doesn't matter if she doesn't like me. In fact, I never imagined that she would also like me. I may be sad for a long time, but as long as she lives a good life, I will also..."
Xu Xiuzhu couldn't listen anymore, stood up, slapped Xia Ze on the head, and cursed: "Wrong."
This unprovoked slap was not very strong, but it made Xia Ze a little confused. He raised his head, looked directly at the anger in Xu Xiuzhu's expression, and asked suspiciously: "Wrong?"
Xu Xiuzhu crossed his arms and said calmly: "The order is wrong. If that girl has never liked you, and only regards you, Xia Ze, as a friend, and even has a happy husband, then you can't
I sincerely wish that girl and that man a happy marriage for a hundred years, and it won’t be too late to grow old together. That can be called a gentleman’s style.”
He changed the topic: "But have you ever thought about whether that girl disliked you when you were broke? Is there a possibility? You have never even expressed your feelings, how do you know..."
Xia Ze's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed: "That girl's marriage thread is not tied to me. How could Miss Mu's good match be me..."
Xu Xiuzhu's next slap was still neither light nor heavy. He sarcastically said: "God wants you, Xia Zepojun, to be killed. Your relatives are helpless. You have to have your three souls and seven souls shattered. You have never bowed your head. How come you are facing this situation now?"
I don’t even dare to think about the girl I like.”
Xia Ze bit his lip and clutched his sleeves with both hands, almost tearing them apart.
But Xu Xiuzhu didn't show any sign of restraint. Instead, he asked aggressively: "Let me ask you, is the marriage arranged by God necessarily the best? What if the marriage arranged by God makes that girl's Taoist monk a man who started in chaos and ended in chaos?
Abandon, what are you going to do, you are a disguised beast in disguise? Since you don’t even have this bit of courage, why don’t you just grab the Fenghuo Juyi card?”
He suddenly felt a coldness in front of him. The young man in front of him had lost all his decadence. What was replaced by the cold murderous look and determination in his eyes was that he said in a deep voice: "I will kill the man who started out in chaos and ended up abandoning him first."
The bastard, and then held the marriage thread of Miss Mu, and went to heaven to find that bastard old god who made random matchmaking, and asked him why he messed up the mandarin ducks, why the girl who is precious to me can no longer be precious, and whether the sweetheart of his heart can be me.
If he doesn't give me an explanation, I will beat him until he becomes paralyzed."
"Do you have any other plans?"
Xia Ze nodded: "Thank you, Brother Xu, for pointing out the topic. Brother Xu's idea is a bit too scary. My heart feels like a knife just thinking about it, so I will never allow such a thing to happen. I'm going to see that person."
Girl, ask her, at least express your feelings to her."
"Beyond thousands of mountains and rivers, I will cross thousands of mountains and rivers."
After saying this long paragraph, Xia Ze took a long breath and stopped talking. He only heard Xu Xiuzhu snort and raise his hand.
Xia Ze closed his eyes. He wasn't really afraid of Xu Xiuzhu, but Xu Xiuzhu looked very much like when he was a child. He saw himself being bullied by other children. While cursing and complaining that he was useless, he angrily approached the person who came to stand up for him.
Big brother.
When the top of his head felt hot, Xia Ze opened his eyes and saw Xu Xiuzhu's big hands just pressing on the top of his head. Xu Xiuzhu grinned and casually rolled Xia Ze's neatly combed hair into a chicken coop.
"Young man, this is good."
After the group of sword cultivators could not trace the source and almost all of them had disappeared, the group of people set foot on the road to Baiyuan Pass again.
After walking for about half a day, I saw the White Ape Pass, which was heavily guarded by dozens of soldiers. In this deserted wilderness under the scorching sun, everyone's face was as white as gelatin, their postures were tall and tall, and the energy in the Qi Mansion was as calm as a mountain.
Surrounded by the gleaming green energy, it is obvious that they are all highly practiced qi practitioners, and their cultivation level is no lower than the sixth level.
Xia Ze took a glance and asked in his heart: "Brother Xu, there seem to be more defenders at Baiyuan Pass compared to Diancang Mountain?"
Xu Xiuzhu nodded and replied in his heart: "This place is the main road to Daqi, and monsters are rampant on the mountain. This group of Qi refiners sent by the Daqi Dynasty is on the one hand to prevent Dazhou spies from infiltrating, and on the other hand, it is also
It restricts the monsters in the mountains from spreading around and causing harm to the world."
Xia Ze said suspiciously: "There should be a mountain god sitting here, and the mountain god doesn't care?"
When Xu Xiuzhu heard this, his expression was a bit complicated: "The Daqi Dynasty was only established for more than two hundred years. It gained the imperial power through a mutiny. It was inevitable that people would criticize it for being improper. Therefore, in the early days of the establishment of Daqi, many people were needed.
The gods of mountains and rivers sit in the rivers and mountains, collect incense, and spread blessings and heavenly signs to calm people's hearts. Those gods of mountains and rivers, large and small, may be the unfortunate scholars or soldiers who were implicated in the disputes between factions and died, or they may be responsible for disasters.
On the one hand, there are the Shanze monsters who were recruited by the imperial court. It would be good if these people do not continue to prey on the common people and kill them brutally in the open."
Xia Ze nodded.
There were many people queuing up here to wait for the sergeant's interrogation, but very few were able to pass. With just a cup of tea, Xia Ze saw no fewer than eight people trying to use taels of silver to let the sergeants pass, but they were all blocked.
He walked away, pushing and scolding.
When it was the turn of Xia Ze and his party, the group of Qi practitioners did not create any difficulties. They just carefully checked the clearance and reading disc. Then the sergeant in charge asked the tallest and tallest Xu Xiuzhu about his whereabouts.
Ayu wore a veil, but she couldn't control her proud figure, so the annoying eyes floating around like flies annoyed her.
Fortunately, only a few dozen people managed to pass through in the end, but as the sky got darker, the mountain road became more and more rugged.
In the wilderness, they couldn't find a place to stay for a while, so the group rested on the spot.
Xia Ze was cooking a pot of relatively light rice porridge by the campfire when he suddenly noticed He Xu beside him. The light flashed through his eyes again. He was startled and patted He Xu on the shoulder.
He Xu shook his head and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Thinking about your sister?" Xia Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
He Xu nodded without sighing. He stared into Xia Ze's eyes seriously and said with a smile, "I don't know why, but I always feel like my sister is waiting for me not far away."
Xia Ze rubbed his head and comforted him: "He Xu has grown up and is a big boy. Your sister will be happy if she knows."
A gust of cold wind blew by, making people shudder. Xia Ze, Xu Xiuzhu, Ayu and Bai Lu turned their heads almost immediately.
I saw a group of people carrying a red sedan slowly walking out of the depths of the dark forest. The people carrying the sedan had pale faces and looked dull. It was not until they walked in that the sound of gongs, drums and suonas was heard, and it gradually became clear.
Xu Xiuzhu slowly touched the sword at his waist, his eyes stern.
He Xu dared to take a look, his face turned pale with fright, and he was about to scream, but Xu Xiuzhu covered his mouth.
There was no flesh and blood under the sleeves of the people carrying the sedan chair. They were all empty smoke. In other words, they were not human beings.
Xia Ze slowly inhaled a breath of martial arts energy, but still sat there cross-legged.
Xu Xiuzhu quickly exchanged glances with him and said, "It's probably a ghost."
