Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 263 Don't Forget Everything, Only Farewell
"Xin... well, this child..."

When Ma Fenggu heard what her junior brother said, she wanted to stand up and call Xin Ziqiu to come over, but she didn't expect him to run away without even looking back after the ring.

The old swordsmen were quite dumbfounded. Ma Fenggu made a gesture to get up and chase after her, but Pudu raised her hand to stop her:

"A young man can't stay idle, why should he be locked up with us old guys? Let him go."

……

Of course, Xin Ziqiu didn't run around aimlessly, but was condescending on the ring, and saw a familiar figure waving to him.

Su Shi.

Seeing his friend coming here, he was overjoyed in his heart, and jumped off the ring without saying a word.

But Xin Ziqiu obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of the people in the Great Song Dynasty. It took him a lot of effort to separate the crowded crowd who wanted to get close to him, and dragged Su Shi away from this place, looking for a secluded place to talk. .

Unexpectedly, at this time, Su Shi looked haggard, and there seemed to be tears on his face. This made Xin Ziqiu's heart sink. He didn't know what happened, so he asked with concern:
"Brother Zizhan, what's wrong with you?"

Su Shi let out a long sigh:

"Alas...brother Xiaoqiu, my brother just received the news from my hometown that my mother died of illness. I want to go back to my hometown with my father and my disciple You for the funeral. I have to leave the capital for a few years."

Xin Ziqiu was also shocked when he heard this sudden change:
"But you have just passed the imperial examination, and it's time to show off your ambitions..."

Su Shi shook his head, his sadness was beyond words:
"My mother has a great kindness in nurturing me and my brothers. Now it is supposed to be a time of filial piety in front of the court, but unexpectedly her old man... Alas, being an official is small, but the kindness is great. When something like this happens, I have no intention of official career. Why don't you go home and rest for a while."

Both of Xin Ziqiu's parents died, so he can naturally understand his feelings, but he knows in his heart that after Su Shi leaves, the two of them may never see each other again.

High mountains and flowing water, rivers and lakes are far away.

He suddenly had thousands of words in his chest, but he didn't know where to start. He raised and lowered his palm several times, and finally landed on Su Shi's shoulder:
"Since that's the case, let's get drunk today..."

Su Shi smiled miserably:
"It should be like this, but now it's too late. My father and son have already prepared the car and are waiting. I came here specially to say goodbye to you. Alas, I haven't been able to find you for a few days, so I can only come here Try your luck in the arena, otherwise you will leave without warning, and you will always be unwilling."

Xin Ziqiu didn't expect that he disappeared in the cave for several days, and almost missed the last time with Su Shi, so he sighed regretfully:

"Brother Zizhan, these few days I..."

Su Shi waved his hand:
"Xiaoqiu, don't worry about it. You and I are young and young. We will return to Beijing as a brother in the future. We still have a lot of time to spend together. Gentlemen have friendship, so we don't have to be with each other all the time."

Xin Ziqiu had a sore nose when he heard this, but he couldn't explain to Su Shi that he was a walker in the Whirling World, let alone tell him the fact that he was about to leave this world, so he could only force a smile and said:

"Brother Zizhan and I have known each other not long ago, but we are close friends and we are friends. You are right, we are friends of gentlemen, even if we are thousands of miles apart, we still love each other with sincerity. We say goodbye today, I hope we will last forever, thousands of miles away A total of Chanjuan."

When Su Shi heard this, he let out a big smile and said:
"Haha, what a 'I hope people will last forever, and we will share the joys and sorrows'. Xiaoqiu, you are heroic and righteous, with a sincere and affectionate personality, and you are upright but not rigid. You are really a superior person. It is really a life for a brother to have you as a confidant It's a great blessing, when I come back from my filial piety, let's have a good time..."

He suddenly slapped his head:
"I almost forgot the business..."

As he spoke, he took out a few pages of paper from his pocket,
"This is the ancient Sanskrit text you gave me a few days ago. Brother Wei reluctantly retranslated it. It seems to be related to the practice method of the Buddha's flawless Vajra Body. There are other records."

Xin Ziqiu took the paper that was covered with body heat, and looked at the thick regular script on it. Before he could feel grateful, a voice came to his ears:
"You have obtained the 'Vajra Mahayana' secret law remnant, which can be completed by consuming the power of the star source."

"Your 'star power' is insufficient, and will be reassessed after this incident is over."

"..."

Xin Ziqiu did not expect that the Whirling World would be able to complete the secret books of exercises he had obtained, but he was not surprised.

By now, he has become accustomed to the supernatural powers of the Whirling World, and he will not be surprised if anything happens here.

But even though he got the treasure, he was not happy at all. He picked up the paper, put his arm around Su Shi and said:

"Thank you, Brother Zizhan, I'll give you a ride."

Both of them are open-minded people by nature. Although they are reluctant to part with each other, they can deal with it calmly. Along the way, they held hands, talked and laughed happily, and turned their full of longing and sorrow into mountains high and clouds far away.

……

Xin Ziqiu sent Su Shi out of the city and followed him for more than ten miles, before he stopped under the persuasion of his father and son.

Facing the donkey cart going away from the official road, and Su Shi's gradually disappearing back, he let out a long breath of turbidity in his chest, full of emotion.

After coming to the mother-in-law world, although Xin Ziqiu met many life-and-death acquaintances, the one who suits his temperament the most is Su Zizhan.

They are similar in age, congenial, and have a love for life from the bottom of their hearts. Whether it is food, wine, or the market, it is enough to be a pleasure.

Su Shi and Xin Ziqiu have the same attitude towards life. They can uphold integrity and be unrestrained; they are optimistic and positive, but they are also compassionate;

The two are confidantes of each other, not just a whim, but a real mutual help, consistent from beginning to end.

It's a pity that life is unpredictable. Now that my friend is gone, and we will see each other indefinitely, how can I not make Xin Ziqiu sigh?
How easy it is to say goodbye to the day will be difficult, the mountains and rivers are long and the road is long.

Sigh everything is unforgettable, only light farewell.

……

Xin Ziqiu stood where he was, unwilling to leave for a long time, until the sun set, and then reluctantly returned to the ring.

At this moment, the day's Tongtian Ring was drawing to a close.

The 32 challengers in the second level are not of easy generation, and their strategy is also very obvious. They only accept challenges from ordinary martial arts people. For the real top masters of the Song Dynasty, no one will challenge them at all, leaving them behind. The challengers of other levels will deal with it.

The benefits of this are also obvious. After fighting for most of the day, except for the more than 20 famous swordsmen on Da Song's side who have no one to fight and directly advance, the rest of the knights have lost more than they have won. So far, they have only won seven victories, but lost After thirteen games, it seemed that the results were dismal, and even a little embarrassed.

According to the rules of Tongtian Challenge, the attackers can only fight once in each level, and the defenders can only stay on the field as long as they are not defeated. Therefore, there are still 25 challengers on the field, all of whom are He is an expert at the elder level of the sect master.

And the backbone of the Song Dynasty has been consumed a lot. Among them, Lu Zhen, who is a fan, lost to a master of the Kunlun School. Counting Ai Hu and Han Tianjin who have not even passed the first level, only Xiao Wuyi Xu Liang and Bai Yunsheng advanced.

Among the people who have not appeared yet, there are also many young disciples from various sects with mediocre martial arts. It is very difficult to win. It seems that although there is a team of nearly a hundred people, even if they can pass the second level, they will definitely lose a lot of troops. .

Seeing this, Jiang Ping was very anxious, and finally he simply used the weather as an excuse to declare a truce first, so that he could make some adjustments later.

Xin Ziqiu didn't take it seriously. The outcome of this arena was not decided by the juniors. The key was the duel between the two top experts, that is, the battles in the last few stages. The rest were just exhibition matches.

He took a leave of absence from Jiang Ping, saying that he would go back to recharge his batteries, but in fact, there are more important things tonight...

Together with Lu Dongbin and Zhong Liquan, he wants to interrogate Lu Tong at night, find out the truth about the whole incident in Xuanxin Palace, and find a way to find out the black hands behind the scenes...
