That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 407
Feng Lang was a little surprised at how daring this brother Xu was to speak. Even Senior Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wu dared to tease him, but he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that this senior brother was very talkative, and he was very talkative. He is working as a supervisor here, but he is going to be suffocated to death. After finally meeting someone to talk to, it is natural to have a good talk.

Especially when he saw that Xu Beiyou didn't show any signs of impatience, he simply dragged him to sit on a newly built step, and the chatterbox was completely opened up.

"Brother Xu's accent seems to be from the north? I'm actually from the north too. My family does some porcelain business, so I have a small fortune. At least I don't have to worry about eating and drinking. I came to Jiangdu with my uncle three years ago. I met him by chance. I heard that she was always in front of the master all year round, but since the young master came to power, I have seen her more often."

"Speaking of this young master, I admire him very much. He has only been in Jiangdu for more than a year, and he has made such a big splash. Who doesn't know Mr. Xu in Jiangdu now? We disciples of the Sword Sect are also honoring our faces. , Wherever you go now, people can call you young master, but I think the word young master is not just called casually, our young master is called Mr. Xu only because of how decent he is, how can we compare with him. "

Xu Beiyou smiled and interjected, "I heard that our young lord is actually the adopted son of the cabinet minister, and that he is able to achieve what he is today because of the power of Elder Han Ge."

Feng Lang is straightforward, he can't understand this kind of words the most, he couldn't help but frowned and said: "Senior brother, I didn't say you, you can't say such sour words, even if the young master is the adopted son of Han Ge, so what? There are many official children in the world, but there is only one Mr. Xu. A while ago, there was a man named Duanmu. I heard that his father is also a big man in the court. Didn't he get punished by the young master and go back to the north in despair? gone."

Xu Beiyou smiled, and said noncommittally: "The surname is Duanmu, and his father is Duanmu Ruisheng, the governor of the Dark Guard Mansion. Even Mr. Xie Suqing and Mr. Xie from Jiangzhou will be overwhelmed by that person. Temple boss."

Feng Lang glanced at Xu Beiyou in a little surprise.

Xu Beiyou went on to say: "Actually... our young master was not so good at the beginning. He was chased and killed by the men of Mr. Duanmu, and almost died outside Jiangdu City. I... …The scar on his cheek was left at that time, but it is no longer visible, even in the northwest in the early years, for a few hundred taels of silver..."

Under Feng Lang's increasingly surprised eyes, Xu Beiyou's voice stopped abruptly, he shook his head and said with a smile, "It's all old things, so don't mention them."

Feng Lang asked curiously: "Brother Xu, you must see the young master often, right?"

Xu Beiyou asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Feng Lang took it for granted: "To know so many things about the young master, it must be someone who is close to the young master."

Xu Beiyou smiled, and could only nod his head and said, "I'm working in the Young Master's Mansion."

Feng Lang's tone was full of envy: "If I can see the young master, I will be satisfied."

Xu Beiyou smiled lightly.

It feels really good to be praised face to face, especially if the person concerned is not aware of it.

Feng Lang felt that this Senior Brother Xu was close to him. It's not that he hasn't made friends with other Senior Brothers in the past three years. They are all arrogant and righteous, but if they really get close, they will find that these Senior Brothers are very close to them. There is a clear line between them. If you want to cross this line and forcefully squeeze into the circle of these people, you may be treated as a joke, but this brother Xu is obviously very high in the sect, but he is willing to let go of his airs. , is very approachable, which is also suitable for Feng Lang's temper and appetite, so it is worth making friends with.

As for the degree of friendship, it depends on the fate of the two people, and the people's hearts. After all, it takes a long time to see people's hearts. He is not a child who doesn't know the world, and he doesn't think that friendship is just a bowl of wine. .

The sun was setting and the afterglow was mild. Feng Lang found out two jugs of wine from nowhere and gave Xu Beiyou a jug. Looking at the city wall of the Taoist workshop in the distance, he took a sip and said with emotion: "I used to be in my hometown. , a small place, it’s really a frog at the bottom of a well watching the sky. After coming to Jiangdu, I realized that the sky is wide and the earth is wide, and my heart seems to be brightened all of a sudden, so I still have to take advantage of my youth to travel all over the world, so that I can live in the world. Last time."

Xu Beiyou recalled when he traveled all over the northwest with his master, and later went from northwest to Jiangnan by himself alone, he felt emotional, nodded and said: "Junior Feng's words make sense."

Feng Lang, who still had a reputation as a scholar, didn't have so much untimely arrogance and sourness, he looked away, looked at Senior Brother Xu, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Xu, do you think our Sword Sect will really return to the East China Sea one day? "

Xu Beiyou's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice, "I will definitely be able to."

Feng Lang was full of fascination and said: "If that day really comes, I must go to the legendary Biyou Island to take a look. I always hear the elders in the sect mention it, saying that the atmosphere of the fairy family there is not inferior to that of Taoist Xuandu. By the way, Senior Brother Xu, have you ever been to Biyou Island?"

Xu Beiyou, who was drinking, put down the jug in his hand, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I've been."

Feng Lang asked, "What's the scene like there?"

Xu Beiyou was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "I didn't see the so-called fairy family atmosphere, only a ruined wall. 50 years ago, Xiao Shen and Yuchen slaughtered my sword sect disciples here. 50 years later, the sect master fought die here."

Feng Lang was stunned, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

Xu Beiyou squinted at the setting sun, but didn't speak.

Feng Lang said softly: "The ups and downs are ups and downs, there are ups and downs, and there are ups and downs. They all say that it is not very peaceful. Our Jianzong has suffered so much and has been silent for decades. It is time to turn around. Besides, there are still us. Young Master?"

Xu Beiyou whispered to himself, "It's my own strength."

Feng Lang didn't hear Xu Beiyou's soliloquy clearly, raised the jug in his hand and asked, "Brother Xu, come one?"

Xu Beiyou also raised the jug in his hand, touched it lightly and drank it down in one gulp.

Naturally, Feng Lang's drinking capacity cannot be compared with Xu Beiyou's. As soon as he took a sip of the pot of wine, his face flushed instantly, his eyes gradually became blurred, and after a while, his words became tongue-in-cheek, mixed with his hometown accent. Xu Beiyou was stunned but didn't understand half a sentence.

Xu Beiyou ignored him, looked up at the sky above his head, and then at the east. He couldn't help but ask himself, can Jianzong really return to the 36 islands in the East China Sea?Although the answer he gave was yes, he was not very sure.

If they return to Island 36, it will mean a head-on confrontation with Daomen.

Even if Akiba, the No. 1 in the world, is not discussed, can he really emulate what the founder of Kaipai did by relying on his own strength?

One sword overwhelmed 24 big real people.

It sounds domineering, but it sounds even more arrogant.

But to do it, it is not as simple as touching the upper and lower lips, it is extremely difficult, even harder than climbing to the sky.

Since the millennium, there are not a few people who have ascended to immortality. The only person who can subdue the 24 great masters of the Taoist sect with a single sword is the founder of the Sword Sect.

Xu Beiyou exhaled and pursed his lips.

It is a heavy burden to carry on one shoulder.
