Chapter 60
Gao Yang hangs in the sky, spreading a layer of golden sand on the silent earth. Occasionally, a few white-feathered immortal birds swept across the river and looked at the crowded town. There was a strange long chirping sound, but soon disappeared into the sky again.

Although Longquan Town is located at the border pass, it is completely different from Yunan Pass and has almost no armed protection.

A few years ago, the life of a Southern Chu spy who came in was disrupted. For a long time, the younger generation of residents in the town just wanted to quickly find a way to move to the north.

However, since Qiu Xuanji came to power, this kind of phenomenon has been greatly reduced.Because of the importance of people's livelihood and border defense, they even handed over nine-thirds of Zimo City's troops to the border.

Of course, all the ministers in Chaoshang have spoken out against Qiu Xuanji's decision. Needless to say, the importance of border crossings is not to mention the fact that the capital city left behind cannot be made of stinky fish and rotten shrimps...

Facing the doubts of the ministers, Qiu Xuanji just waved his hand lightly, "I alone in the capital is enough." The courtiers were speechless.

The people of Longquan Town do not know the reason for this place, but they only feel that life seems to be better. Although many people still move their families, there is still some fireworks left.

The fierce sun was hanging high, and it was just noon at this time.

Almost all the idlers who spent the morning at the tea stall on the street moved to the restaurant next door, intending to continue to brag about their glorious deeds while drinking and eating meat.

The old aunt who sold vegetables smiled and sat on the street with a low stool. From time to time, he said hello to other hawkers passing by, or told the old man of the jewelry store next to him some trivial things in life.

Surrounded by the hustle and bustle, Xu Shoujing, wearing a black robe trimmed with gold trim, walked aimlessly on the street, looking at the people of Longquan Town who were living in peace, his eyebrows frowned slightly:

"It's weird... This doesn't look like it was poisoned by the 'immortal' religion. Could it be that the information is wrong? Shao Yao, do you see anything?"

Saying that, he casually took the jade hand of the woman beside him.

Zhao Fuyao walked side by side, and her splendid and peerless posture made people subconsciously dare not look away, as if a glance at her would be the greatest blasphemy to her; the pure white fairy dress became hazy and illusory under the sunlight, and it could be seen from a distance. Go, it seems that a Tianshan snow lotus has been beaten into the mortal world, holy and noble.

Zhao Fuyao didn't say anything to Xu Shoujing's holding her hand, as if it was a matter of course.

"This is your experience."

Xu Shoujing curled his lips angrily, he heard it, Zhao Fuyao meant don't rely on her for everything, this stern look really looked like a strict female teacher with black glasses, rolled his eyes:

"Okay, let's take it slow..."

Although Longquan Town is only less than thirty kilometers away from the Dragon Jade Gate, the first sect of Dali, it is still an ordinary town after all.As Xu Shoujing walked all the way, he had never seen anyone with Xiuwei beside him.

If I remember correctly, the teaching of the immortal religion is 'mortals cultivate immortals'. Since they are mortals cultivating immortals... Isn't it a bit unreasonable for mortals everywhere?
Put it here to repair loneliness.

Xu Shoujing couldn't understand the reason, but he was not in a hurry. Anyway, there was a lot of time. Since there are no clues now, he will slowly wait for "the clues to come to the door."

Otherwise, why would he be so swaggering down the street?

Addicted to fishing, belongs to yes.

Zhao Fuyao obviously thought the same thing. From the moment she entered the city, she was aware of Xu Shoujing's thoughts. Although she didn't want to interfere more in this regard due to her personality, she couldn't kill herself by fishing, right?
The last time Xu Shoujing didn't discuss with anyone, he made a plan on his own, but in the end he put himself in danger, got a whole body injury, and learned a lesson once. Spend?

Zhao Fuyao tilted his head and glanced at Xu Shoujing's smiling profile, and said in a low voice, "Are you going to wait for them to come?"

Xu Shoujing was stunned when he heard the words, and seemed surprised that Zhao Fuyao would ask this question.

Seeing her calm phoenix eyes with a bit of blame, she quickly reacted to her thoughts, pondered for a moment, and said with emotion:

"I've always been in a bad mood before."

"?"

Xu Shoujing looked up at the sky, and regardless of whether Zhao Fuyao understood it or not, he seemed to be reflecting:
"On that day, I made a plan to go deep into the enemy's cave. One was to determine whether my guess was wrong... If Qiu Ji didn't show up for a moment, I would not be at ease for a moment, because I'm not sure whether it was Qiu Ji or not, it's just a guess. That's all; the second is that their purpose is me, and only if I take risks, can the mastermind be drawn out, otherwise, just like the previous two times, I will continue to send useless chess pieces to test. In theory, my plan is perfect ……but……"

Xu Shoujing paused, faced Zhao Fuyao's clear eyes, and laughed at himself:

"However, I ignored my own safety... It's not that I don't risk my life. How can I say it? Maybe I still feel a little unreal about this world. Even after 17 years, I don't have any sense of participation. Maybe I'm escaping. Force myself to treat all of this as a game... People are dying, but they are still complacent because the plan is successful, and feel that I have counted everyone in this wave..."

Although Zhao Fuyao couldn't understand the words Xu Shoujing said in the second half, he also understood what he wanted to express, and the soft weeds that he was holding tightened a little, and said softly:

"now what?"

"Now..." Xu Shoujing was silent for a while, then laughed: "I just feel that I used to be too naive... I met Chu Ao's father before, and I know that he lost his only son, but whether it is Yinliang or For other things, I didn't do anything for him that I could, even if those things were just raising my hand for me... Let Jing Ming do it."

Zhao Fuyao did not interrupt and listened quietly.

These words have always been buried in Xu Shoujing's heart, and he said a few words while Yu Jiaoshuang was drunk, but at that time, Xu Shoujing knew that Yu Jiaoshuang, this little girl, would not listen to his heart before saying it.

Besides, whether facing Aunt Chu or Sister Rong Yue, Xu Shoujing did not reveal these entanglements in his heart.

Xu Shoujing knew that if he said these words, with the temperament of Aunt Chu and Sister Rong Yue, it would definitely cause unnecessary worry, which was not what he wanted.

But for Zhao Fuyao... Maybe it was because of the fact that they were in the same bed every night, Xu Shoujing felt that he could tell her everything about him, as if the two were of the same mind, regardless of each other.

"I didn't help Chu Liang... I just felt that, as a son-killer enemy, no matter what the reason is, I'm not qualified to pretend to compensate him, because I don't care about killing Chu Ao. I have no regrets, nor do I feel that I have done anything wrong..."

Xu Shoujing subconsciously clenched Zhao Fuyao's soft, boneless and delicate little hand, his peach blossom eyes were slightly complicated:
"I didn't think I was wrong... But Chu Liang made me realize that when people are killed, they will die... If something went wrong at the time, or my weight was not as big as Qiu Ji and the others imagined. It's important...maybe after they've drained my worth, they'll dispose of me as useless."

"?"

Noticing that Zhao Fuyao's dull eyes flashed an inexplicable way, Xu Shoujing was stunned for a while, then he realized that he had said a word of nonsense, and laughed dumbly:
"In short, you can rest assured. Now I will not easily put my life on the balance."

After a pause, Xu Shoujing raised Zhao Fuyao's fair little hand, put it on his chest, and looked at her tenderly:
"I'm really fishing now, but I'm not catching the big fish behind the scenes... Until I find out the details of the fairy sect, I won't easily contact them, don't worry."

Zhao Fuyao didn't intend to interfere with Xu Shoujing's decision, so he just nodded flatly.

The hands they held together slowly swayed back and forth under Xu Shoujing's movements.

Walking and stopping along the way, Xu Shoujing pulled Zhao Fuyao up and watched for a while when he encountered something novel. Although Zhao Fuyao never made any statement, he never objected. Wherever Xu Shoujing went, she would be there. .Looking at this, it doesn't look like they're here to investigate a case, but a pair of bi people have nothing to do on the street.

However, because Xu Shoujing and Zhao Fuyao's looks are too outstanding, every time they stop in a place, the people in the town next to them will be shocked, and this also makes Xu Shoujing and Zhao Fuyao unable to stay too long. For a long time, it is often only after two glances that you must leave immediately.

From the lively neighborhood to the sparsely populated section, there are still many hawker stalls on the street, but it is not as dense as before.

Xu Shoujing breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Zhao Fuyao, who was not in the old well, and said with a light smile:

"Look at you, you are so beautiful that we can't even go shopping."

Zhao Fuyao didn't have any comment on this, and the women who suddenly screamed just now couldn't possibly have said it to her.

After walking a few more steps, Xu Shoujing saw a small wooden cart with all kinds of jewelry on the side of the street.

An old man in plain clothes was sitting behind the wooden cart and was chatting happily with the aunt who was selling vegetables next to him.

Hearing someone stopping in front of the car, he turned his head quickly and wanted to say, "Guest officer, you can take a look at it." But he found that it was two people who seemed to be walking out of the painting, and he was stunned for a moment.

The young man in black robe is as handsome as a fairy, wearing a gold-trimmed black robe with a majestic aura; the woman in the white dress is like a fairy, with solitary phoenix eyes, cold and refusing to be thousands of miles away.

The old man hesitated for a moment, then said apprehensively: "This young man, this old man's stall is all cheap handmade goods, I am afraid it is not worthy of this girl. If you want to buy jewelry, you can go to the Baiyutang on the street, where the jewelry is more expensive. …”

Xu Shoujing waved his hand indifferently, and under the uneasy gaze of the old man, he picked out a white jade hairpin from the row of accessories.

This white hosta is not so precious in texture, the impurities inside it are entangled in circles, like catkins, but fortunately, the craftsmen who grind the jade are in place, and these fluff actually make the whole hosta more gorgeous.

Xu Shoujing picked up the hosta, looked at it a little, and said with a smile:

"Old man, I want this hosta."

The old man was entangled in his heart, but he still quoted a price that was far less than the appearance value of the jewelry.

Xu Shoujing handed over the broken silver and stroked the smooth surface of the white jade hairpin, although it is not impossible to give it to Yaoyao directly, but...

Under the astonished gazes of the vegetable seller and the old man next to him, Xu Shoujing condensed a trace of spiritual energy on his fingertips, and swept the surface of the white jade very gently as if stroking a baby's skin. , was cleaned up.

When the whole white jade hairpin became as pure as mutton fat jade, Xu Shoujing handed the white jade hairpin to Zhao Fuyao and said with a light smile:
"Like it?"

Zhao Fuyao's face was expressionless, he glanced at him flatly, and at the same time closing his eyes, Zhenshou leaned forward slightly, what he meant was self-evident.

Xu Shoujing smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to put it on for her, took a step back, and looked up and down for a moment:
"It's so beautiful. It used to be beautiful, but now it's even more beautiful."

Zhao Fuyao opened his eyes, and only returned a cold look to Xu Shoujing's obvious flattery. The other soft cat, which was not held, was lifted to the hair, and passed through the waterfall-like three thousand blue silk, one by one, Slowly stroking the smooth protruding part of the hosta, she seemed to cherish it very much.

Xu Shoujing smiled without saying a word, turned to look at the stunned old man, pretended not to care, and said with a smile:
"Old man, look for money."

"what……"

The old man just recovered his senses, and hurriedly bent down and rummaged through the boxes in the compartment of the small wooden car. :

"Young master...you, are you an immortal?"

Xu Shoujing had expected the old man's reaction, and he didn't check the amount of money he was looking for.

"If you can't be an immortal, you are just a speck of dust on the road to immortality."

After speaking, Xu Shoujing took a deep breath. He wanted to say this line for a long time, but he never had a chance, and finally his dream came true.

The old man didn't understand, but was shocked.He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if thinking of something again, and asked again:
"Could it be that the son is Zhuo Xianchang's disciple?"

Look, the fish are here.

The corners of Xu Shoujing's mouth twitched, thinking about it in his heart, pretending to be surprised:

"Xianchang Zhuo? Who is that?"

The old man was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Xu Shoujing to have nothing to do with 'Zhuo Xianchang'. He was about to answer when the old aunt who was selling vegetables hurriedly interrupted:

"Old Bao! Can't say, can't say!"

The old man woke up with a start, his body trembled, and he took a few steps back in fright.Noticing Xu Shoujing's scrutiny eyes, he bowed apologetically and said:
"I'm sorry, son... About Zhuo Xianchang, I forgive the old man for not saying more..."

Xu Shoujing thought for a moment, and then he understood why no one talked about the immortal religion in the busy street just now. He clearly held the flag of 'mortal cultivation of immortals', but no one talked about it in the town where it originated, no matter what he thought. Not right.

And looking at the anxiety level of the old aunt, she couldn't talk about that 'Zhuo Xianchang', and it didn't seem like she was threatened. There should be something else hidden here.

Xu Shoujing pondered for a moment, then smiled lightly: "Uncle, you don't have to worry. My monks are brothers in the world. That 'Xianchang Zhuo' should not talk nonsense to mortals."

After a pause, he pointed to Zhao Fuyao, then to himself, and continued:
"She and I are both practitioners... We are all fellow Daoists. Even if you tell me, that 'Zhuo Xianchang' will not be angry, I am afraid that he will be happy because he can make friends..."

The old man was stunned for a moment. He always felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he couldn't say it. He could only turn his eyes to the old aunt next to him for advice.

Xu Shoujing almost believed what he said, noticed the sight of the old man, thought for a moment, then turned to look at the old aunt who was selling vegetables, and said with a light smile:
"This 'sister', to be honest, I have been fascinated by 'Zhuo Xianchang' for a long time. I came here to see him. Can you make it convenient?"

Zhao Fuyao was slightly taken aback when he heard Xu Shoujing's words, is this asking the old aunt to help introduce him?Just said that it will not be easy to touch.She frowned slightly and stared at Xu Shoujing, as if she wanted to see his thoughts on this handsome face with a soft smile.

Xu Shoujing naturally noticed Zhao Fuyao's gaze, squeezed the soft little hand in her hand so that she didn't have to worry, and still looked at the old aunt who was selling vegetables with a warm smile.

The old aunt was overjoyed when she was called 'sister'. If someone called her, maybe she would laugh and scold her as "not serious", but when it was replaced by a handsome young man like Xu Shoujing, he laughed unconsciously.

After hesitating for a while, she smiled gracefully: "Young master, don't destroy the slave family, you are a 'sister' who is too young to be a master. But... Since master wants to meet Zhuo Xianchang, there is no reason for slave family to stop it, but I also ask you to wait for a while, Zhuo Xianchang will only preach the Dao every three days, and if you count the days, it will be tomorrow."

Xu Shoujing nodded thoughtfully and asked again:

"Then can you tell me about Immortal Zhuo? I have only heard some rumors about Immortal Zhuo in other places, but I haven't heard of the actual situation."

When the old aunt heard the words, her eyes lit up, she hesitated, and sighed with emotion:
"Xianchang Zhuo... that's a good man!"

"..."

Where do I seem to have heard this?
In Xu Shoujing's mind, the image of Chu Liang lamenting that King Wei was a 'good man' appeared, and the expression on his face remained unchanged:
"How do you say that?"

The old aunt looked left and right, and after confirming that no one was there, she took a few steps closer:
"Xianchang Zhuo is a real immortal! Not only did he say that he could help us cultivate immortals, but he even helped the slave family resurrect the son who died in the hands of the people of Nanchu!"

Xu Shoujing breathed a little more heavily between his nose, his heart trembled under the pressure, and pretended to be surprised and asked:
"Resurrection? As far as I know, if the soul of the dead person is scattered, even the great master of the Chongxiao Realm will be powerless."

The old aunt couldn't understand what the Chongxiao Realm was, but after listening to Xu Shoujing's words, she made a "really ignorant" appearance:

"It's different, it's different! Zhuo Xianchang can really make the dead come to life out of thin air!"

Finding that Xu Shoujing still looked like 'I don't believe it', the old aunt rolled her eyes and said:

"My son is at home now. If the son doesn't believe it, go back to the slave house and see."

Xu Shoujing smiled inwardly, this is what he wanted, and naturally he would not refuse. On the surface, he was still hesitant, and glanced at her vegetable stall:

"Is it...convenient?"

"Convenient, of course it's convenient." The old aunt was obviously the type to do what she said. At this time, she got up and walked to the middle of the road. She turned around and said to the old man at the jewelry stall, "Help me take a look at the stall." Then she led the way forward. go.

Xu Shoujing laughed lightly, followed Zhao Fuyao's hand, and while the old aunt was not paying attention, he blinked at Yuren'er beside him:

Look, the fish is hooked, right?

Zhao Fuyao didn't really want to pay attention to him, phoenix eyes glanced slightly, and then moved his eyes to the side.

However, under the reflection of the high sun at noon, two extremely tiny shadows merged unconsciously.

The hand that was holding together just now slowly loosened, the slightly larger hand trembled slightly, and lightly touched the pinky finger of the small white hand that was a little smaller, and found that the other party didn't respond, knowing that the other party was not disgusted.

After a few seconds, the five fingers passed through each other's fingers and were tightly clasped together.
