He then corrected himself, "It's okay to forget Đồng Thái, but you can't forget Đồng Thái's sword."
Before Đồng Thái left, he pointed at the ruins in front of him. Seeing Hsu Fengnian nod, he said, "Beimang's peaceful and blessed land has a foggy heavenly gate in the Tao Te Sect. If you have the chance, you must go and take a look."
Đồng Thái carried his sword and chanted softly, drifting into the distance. "A dream like a banana, a deer like a mayfly, with a sword on its back, climbing up the cliff."
For the next three days, a young scholar could be seen at the southern gate, carefully examining every sword mark and every ravine.
The whole of Dunhuang City did not have the heart to care about such trivial matters. After knowing that the devil Luo Yang entered the city and entered the Yeting Palace, almost ten thousand people fled in one night. Later, when they saw that Luo Yang did not indiscriminately kill the innocent and that the Palace Master of the Purple Gold Palace, Yan Zhi, put out a notice to appease them, only then did three to four thousand people return to the city. Other than the white-clothed Luo Yang, who had recently become the fourth person on the Martial Arts Roll, the most talked about was the wine seller Xu Pu, who had become the Deputy Governor of Dunhuang City and climbed to a high position that was second only to the two of them. Some said that this person was the former Governor's male companion, while others said that he was a devil who had hidden very deeply. Some of the customers who had visited the shop were complacent and said that they had long seen through Xu Pu's ability. As for Boss Qiao, who had received a dozen sets of porcelain bowls and five or six Spring Festival couplets from the old eunuch, after a short period of trembling, he felt even more honored and his status skyrocketed. He had become the most popular merchant in the city. Hsu Fengnian was originally an outsider, so he did not care about worldly affairs. He only cared about the spearhead, looking for the swordsmanship formula from the thousands of scars and comparing it with the bladesmanship manual. He benefited a lot.
When they left Dunhuang at noon, the southern part of the city was deserted, so he and Sweet Potato and Xu Pu went to a wine stall on the eastern side of the city to drink before leaving. The stall owner was shallow, but shrewd. He did not recognize the three of them and only thought that they were high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the city that he could not afford to offend. He did not dare to carelessly quote a high price for their drinks. The three of them sat at a table in the corner. The reason why Hsu Fengnian chose to leave the city at this time was because Sweet Potato's affairs were orderly and orderly. He had nothing to do if he stayed there. Furthermore, Luo Yang had only stayed in the Yeting Palace for two days before quietly leaving. Without this mortal enemy in the palace, Hsu Fengnian did not dare to lower his guard.
Xu Pu was in high spirits. He used his chopsticks to hit the porcelain bowl like a stone hammer and softly hummed a Beiliang quarry song. It was a minor tune that was suspected of being out of tune, but it was particularly warm to the ears. It was a farewell to Hsu Fengnian.
Xu Pu was not a blockhead who did not understand the ways of the world. He was the first to get up and bid farewell. Not long after, on the way back to the city, he saw a carriage pass by. The curtain lifted a corner, and outside the carriage, a man and a woman looked at each other. Their footsteps did not stop, and the carriage did not stop.
The sweet-tempered woman in the carriage was biting her lips, her cheeks filled with tears.
Hsu Fengnian asked in a low voice, "It's her?"
Sweet Potato laughed, "Isn't it? What a coincidence."
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said, "What coincidence? Someone arranged it. Of course, it's not her intention."
Sweet Potato laughed it off. She was not unfamiliar with the knack of it. It was just that once she said it out loud, even the slightest aftertaste would be gone. You see how charming Qingshan is, you expect Qingshan to be like this. This is called mutual affection. You see how charming Qingshan is, but Qingshan sees you as a pile of shit. This is called wishful thinking.
Qingshan sees how charming you are, but you take a pile of shit on the mountain. You want Qingshan to treat you like the first time you met her. This is a person's heart is not enough.
Sweet Potato took the initiative to change the topic, "Why don't Young Master stay for a few more days? You can try to subdue Xu Pu."
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said, "The thing I'm not good at in this life is buying people's hearts. This is the second time I'm traveling, and I didn't think about how to exchange pleasantries with the hundred light cavalry of the Phoenix Battalion. Besides, I can't stand those old tricks of kowtowing. Those who come out to mingle with officials and traverse the Jianghu are not fools. If they're lucky, they'll be able to hit it off, and they'll be suitable to be friends. You see, when I was His Royal Highness, other than a few bad friends who grew up with me, have I ever taken in any underlings? It's fun to be stabbed in the back. "
Sweet Potato rubbed Hsu Fengnian's forehead and said softly, "This has to be changed."
Hsu Fengnian nodded and said, "I'm changing it diligently. Xu Pu said just now that Xu Xiao is gathering momentum, and I have to take advantage of it. It's very reasonable. "
After drinking a few bowls of wine, Hsu Fengnian got up and carried a new purple bamboo box. He said, "You don't have to send me off."
Sweet Potato stood obediently in the same place and just stared blankly into the distance to send him off.
Hsu Fengnian headed north toward Jinxi Province. Before he reached the site of the Wu family's Nine Swords Defeating Ten Thousand Cavalry, he encountered a huge land-based tornado that appeared out of nowhere.
It was a magnificent sight.
Hsu Fengnian fastened the string of the box and rushed over with a big laugh. He remembered the wooden sword of riding an ox on Mount Wudang and drawing a waterfall. The Spring and Autumn Sword broke open a gap and penetrated the wall into the tornado.
Generally speaking, land-based tornadoes were not as powerful as water-based tornadoes, but they were often mixed with sand and boulders, making them extremely dangerous. The land-based tornado sucked in the soil on a huge scale. After Hsu Fengnian entered, he had to suffer a lot. It was almost as if he was continuously being played by a blind female zither player. However, Hsu Fengnian was already mentally prepared. He pulled out the Spring and Autumn Sword and used his sword Qi to break apart the boulders. At the same time, he built a mirage of the Great Yellow Courtyard and stepped on it. It was as if he was climbing a tall building, as if he was climbing the Five Sacred Mountains. He closed his eyes and focused his mind. He pulled out the sword again and again, rising higher and higher until he was thousands of feet above the ground.
Suddenly, the wind stopped and Hsu Fengnian rushed out. His figure rose above the sea of clouds as if he had entered the heavens.
His whole body was bathed in the golden sunlight, like a golden Buddha.
It was a pity that the world could not see this scene.
Hsu Fengnian was above the Nine Heavens. Looking at the vast golden sea of clouds, he laughed and said, "I have a sword called Fuyao!"
