That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 107 The Girl Calls Old Xu
Xu Beiyou travels thousands of miles.

This time he went to Jiangdu, except for Han Xuan, no one else knew his whereabouts. He was going to enter the customs from Yanzhou, bypass Qizhou, and finally pass Huizhou, enter Jiangzhou, and officially set foot on the border of Jiangnan.

However, Han Xuan also made it clear that Zhang Xueyao's residence in Jiang is not a secret, and the deacons of Zhenmo Temple are not fools. Although they don't know Xu Beiyou's whereabouts, they will definitely wait in Jiangdu, waiting for Xu Beiyou to go to the net, so It was not until he entered the south of the Yangtze River that he was in danger every step of the way.

However, there is no such thing as a perfect road. Jiangnan is the place with the most powerful localities in the world. The Daoist Zirong Temple is very powerful here, but it is far from reaching the point where it can cover the sky with one hand, which also gives Xu Beiyou room to maneuver.

It's useless to think too much, Xu Beiyou sighed and restrained his thoughts.

Seeing that Xu Beiyou had been in a daze, the woman couldn't help stretching out her hand in front of his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Old Xu, what are you thinking? Are you thinking of a girl from some family?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "I just remembered some old things."

The woman wrinkled her nose and said: "Old Xu, although I call you Old Xu, but you are not much older than me, why do you speak so old-fashioned?"

Xu Beiyou was startled, and said: "Speaking of girls, there is one, but she went to Jiangnan."

The woman asked curiously, "Is she beautiful?"

Xu Beiyou nodded and said, "I've only seen it in my life."

The woman became more and more curious, and after thinking about it, she asked again: "Old Xu, when you came, you only said your surname was Xu, what's your name?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "This is someone we met by chance, why do you need to know who's name?"

The woman curled her lips and said: "If you don't say it, don't say it, who cares."

Xu Beiyou said: "After entering the customs, you will go to Zhili Prefecture, but I will go to Qizhou, and we will part ways from now on. There is a huge crowd, and it may be difficult to see each other again in the future."

The woman took it for granted: "That's why I asked your name. If you want to find you in the future, you can't say that I am looking for Lao Xu. You must have a name."

Xu Beiyou said slowly: "It's best to meet for the first time in life. If you see a lot, you will inevitably feel disgusting. I think, girls just need to remember that there is an old Xu who can tell stories. Why bother to ask the bottom line?"

Probably because the woman was rarely rejected by people, this time she hit a soft nail with Xu Beiyou, she couldn't help being slightly annoyed, stomped her feet angrily, turned and left.

The old man surnamed Yan who was standing aside made a secret gesture, and immediately two people in the crowd followed the woman calmly.

The old man surnamed Yan looked at Xu Beiyou, smiled warmly and said, "Brother Xu, can you take a step to speak?"

Xu Beiyou nodded slightly.

The two came to a secluded alley beside the road. The old man surnamed Yan showed a smile on his weather-beaten vicissitudes of life. He took off the wine skin bag at his waist and shook it slightly, as if asking Xu Beiyou if he wanted it.

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I didn't drink alcohol before, but now I only drink alcohol once a year, and I've already drank it this year."

The old man surnamed Yan didn't force it, he opened the wine bag and smelled it, and after taking a sip of the wine, he gently exhaled the smell mixed with the aroma of strong wine.

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall. Senior Yan speaks directly if he has something to say."

The old man surnamed Yan may have been soaked in too much wind and sand outside the Great Wall in his life, and his voice was hoarse from the northwest wind and sand. He squinted and said, "Brother Xu, you are a person with a story."

Xu Beiyou was not surprised. He knew from the very beginning that the old man was secretly guarding against him. He was prepared for the old man's belated questioning, but he didn't intend to have too much entanglement with this caravan that met by chance. So at this time, he was not in a hurry to speak, and waited for the next article.

After taking another sip of wine, the old man put the wine bag back on his waist, and said straight to the point: "To tell you the truth, this old man has been secretly watching Brother Xu all this way. At first, he was afraid that Brother Xu, who is so powerful?" Spy spy, but looking at it today, the little brother is by no means such a simple person. The old man is only in the first-rank realm now, and has just touched the threshold of the ghost realm. Over the years, he has traveled all over the world, and he has seen many masters. I observed secretly Little brother’s breath, there are traces of Taoism, and brother Xu, you don’t want to reveal your real name, so this old man has the courage to ask, are you from the Temple of Demon Suppression?”

Xu Beiyou was taken aback, he didn't expect that the old man surnamed Yan would mistake him for someone from the Demon Suppressing Palace, but it's no wonder that the old man surnamed Yan, Jianzong and Taoism were originally a family, and Xu Beiyou built his foundation with the dragon and tiger alchemy. Under the premise of the sword, it is almost the same as ordinary Taoist disciples, unless you are a master of the earth fairy realm, you can see one or two clues.

Xu Beiyou didn't point it out. Instead, he made a mistake and said: "There are some things, don't tell the truth if you see through it. Everything is left on the line, so we can meet each other in the future."

The old man surnamed Yan looked at Xu Beiyou, slowly suppressed the smile on his face, and said softly: "I don't want to care about you, little brother, whether you are the deacon of the Town Demon Palace or the eagle dog of the Dark Guard Mansion, there is only one thing, please don't provoke my lady." , she is just a child who is not deeply involved in the world, and the muddy waters of the rivers and lakes are not suitable for her."

Xu Beiyou remained silent.

The eyes of the old man surnamed Yan suddenly became sharp, and he said: "In my whole life, my wife died early, and I have no children under my knees. I watched the young lady grow up. If she made any mistakes, it would be considered a sacrifice for this old life. There is also a price to be paid."

Xu Beiyou finally said plainly, "Xu has already made it clear earlier."

The old man surnamed Yan stared at Xu Beiyou, and said unrelentingly: "I want the little brother to promise me personally."

Xu Beiyou was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

The old man surnamed Yan temporarily let go of half of the stone in his heart, and finally showed a sincere smile, untied the wine bag from his waist again, and threw it to Xu Beiyou.

This time Xu Beiyou did not refuse. After catching the wine bag, he uncorked the wine and poured a sip of wine into his mouth. He said softly, "Make an exception."

The old man surnamed Yan seemed to be in a good mood, and took advantage of the opportunity to shake out many words that he was stuffy in his chest, and said with emotion: "There is an old saying that is good, there are people beyond people, and there is sky beyond the sky. The Central Plains is not as prosperous as the desolate northwest. Most of the talented people in the world are in this world, especially at the feet of the emperor, but it can't be described as a mixed bag. Basically, no one is a small fish or a shrimp. They are all hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The lady sneaked out from home this time Going to Beijing to visit relatives, I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.”

Xu Beiyou, who had already guessed that the woman's identity was not simple, didn't show much surprise, but said softly: "I heard that the first-class internal guards in the imperial capital are only at the first rank. In the powerful and famous Northwest Army, you can also find a position as a deputy commander, but Yan Lao is willing to be a caravan steward, thinking that Yan Lao's employer will not be an ordinary family."

The old man surnamed Yan didn't speak, but shook his head.

Xu Beiyou didn't intend to continue to delve into it. The more he knew, the more karma he would be contaminated. Now that Xu Beiyou had enough burdens on his body, he didn't want to be tainted with some useless karma.

After drinking the wine, a period of karma will be established, and a period of karma will be concluded.

Xu Beiyou took the lead out of the secluded alley and came back to the bustling street. He just happened to see a seller of candied haws by the side of the road. He couldn't help but think of the little Taoist girl named Zhiyun, and shook his head and smiled.

Xu Beiyou took out a couple of pennies from his wallet, bought bunches of red candied haws, bit off a sweet and sour hawthorn, and chewed it carefully.

After Xu Beiyou wandered the street for a while, he returned to the inn.At this time, most of the caravan members who had traveled all the way had eaten and rested. He returned to his room, pressed the sword case lightly, and his mind slowly sank into it.

Xu Beiyou didn't have Gongsun Zhongmou's profound cultivation, so he didn't dare to let Zhu Xian leave the sword box, but after Gongsun Zhongmou handed Zhu Xian over to him before his death, he could barely be regarded as half of Zhu Xian's master, although his cultivation was not enough to protect him from the sword box. It is more than enough to use Zhuxian, but it is more than enough to understand the sword 36 on Zhuxian.

Today's Xu Beiyou has comprehended Sword Fourteen.

If you want to be a sword fairy who goes to the sky and enters the earth, it is not only enough to have a chance.

Persevering efforts are also indispensable.
