Qingyun's sword fairy in white

Chapter 166 Six Years
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the tumbling dark clouds rushed over from all directions, as if they had the aura of devouring the sky.

Gradually, the momentum of the dark clouds in the sky became more and more majestic, as if they were about to wipe out the earth and suppress them down.

Suddenly, the rain fell all over the sky, the deep thunder sounded, and the raging wind howled...

As the rain gradually became heavier, the night sky became more gloomy, enveloping the land like a cage.

And under this pitch-black sky, there was actually a faint shimmer of light stubbornly shining. This light was emitted by a small inn beside the ancient road.

The owner of this inn is a middle-aged man surnamed He, who was born in Xiaochi Town, a day's journey away from here. The reason why he built a small inn in this wilderness is just to earn some hard money.

Because the location of his inn is good, between Xiaochi Town and Kongsang Mountain, even the Central Plains to Donghai Changhe City must pass through this place, so he has made a good profit in the past few years.

It's just that Boss He seemed a little worried at this time. He sat behind the counter, listening to the more violent wind and rain outside, and shook his head helplessly. I'm afraid no guests will come to the door in this weather.

With this in mind, he looked towards the lobby of the inn. The guests in his shop were sitting silently in the lobby, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside the window.

Speaking of the hall, there are actually only five tables. Because the inn is very small, there are not enough rooms for these people to rest, so these guests can only sit here.

And because of the weather, these guests couldn't leave the small inn. As the owner, he could only stay at the counter to accompany these guests.

Listening to the more violent wind and rain outside the window, Boss He sighed again, and then looked at his guests.

At this time, four tables in his small shop were occupied by people, and three people sat on the table at the farthest corner. Because the candlelight in the shop could not reach that corner, the faces of the three people were somewhat blurred.

Similarly, there are three people sitting in another corner, they seem to be a young couple in white clothes and a young girl in water green clothes, but the faces of these three people are also somewhat blurred.

As for the two tables close to him, the closest one sat an old man with white beard and hair who looked like a fairy, and beside this old man was a young girl who looked exceptionally smart.

The young girl seemed a little bored, and was fiddling with the old man's bamboo pole. After pulling the "immortal guide" on it, the young girl sighed and lay down on the table.

As for the last table, there was nothing special about it. At first glance, it looked like merchants, with goods piled up beside them, but the number of people was also the largest here, with a total of five people.

The oldest among these merchants saw Boss He looking over, smiled apologetically, and said, "Boss He, we can't leave because of the wind and rain, but Boss He has to stay up late with us."

Boss He shook his head with a smile. These merchants are his regular customers, so he didn't complain, but he was a little puzzled and said: "It's okay, can you stay up late when opening a store? It's just that the sky doesn't appear at night, why are you still there?" Are you going out on your way?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head after a while, and said with a wry smile: "Boss He doesn't know something, we actually wanted to hurry because of the bad weather."

Boss He didn't understand what the old man meant, and asked puzzledly, "Why?"

The old man played with the teacup with no tea in front of him, and said after a while, "Boss He, this world...is in chaos again!"

Hearing this, Boss He frowned, and said, "How could it be? I remember that since Master Wan of the Qingyun Sect destroyed the Wandu Sect of the Demon Sect six years ago, hasn't the chaotic world calmed down again?"

Having said that, Boss He paused, as if recalling something, and continued after a while: "Old man, if you said that six years ago when Mr. Wan didn't make a move, I still believed that the world would be in chaos, but these six years None of the business travellers, ever mentioned it.”

The old man smiled bitterly when he heard the words, looked at Boss He's disbelieving eyes, and sighed: "Boss He, just like you said not long ago, because of the threat of Mr. Wan six years ago, no one in the Demon Cult Come out again to fight with people in the righteous way, it seems to have been silent for a while."

When the old man said this, a middle-aged man beside him picked up the conversation, and said helplessly: "But since Mr. Wan made his move six years ago, there has been no news suddenly, so that the demon sect that has been silent for six years People, started appearing frequently again."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man looked at Boss He and said bitterly: "Boss He, when we came back from Changhe City not long ago, we heard about the frequent battles between the Demon Cult and the Righteous Way in the East China Sea, so that today's East China Sea area Start messing up."

Boss He nodded, but saw that the old man sighed quietly, and continued: "Originally, the struggle between the righteous and the devil is not our business, but because of the frequent appearance of the demon sect, the righteous way has little energy to deal with the robbers who rob houses. , so the world is getting more and more chaotic."

Having said that, the old man exchanged glances with the merchant beside him, then shook his head and sighed softly: "Because of these robbers haunting us, merchants who come and go, we can only deliberately pick up the weather to drive our way, in order to avoid encountering It’s just that the wind and rain are too violent tonight, so we can only stay here to trouble Boss He.”

Boss He was silent when he heard the words, and sighed softly after a while: "So that's the case, but in this righteous way, is there no one like Mr. Wan to make another move? If..."

It's just that Boss He hadn't finished speaking when someone from the table in the farthest corner suddenly spoke up and said calmly, "Wait, old gentleman, according to what you said, the world is in chaos because of the Demon Sect gone?"

Hearing this, the old man frowned and was about to speak, but he saw that everyone around him turned their eyes towards him, and he even heard the girl in the water green clothes with a blurred face snort coldly.

At the table closest to him, an old man with white beard and hair and a young girl also cast their gazes on him. The girl had bright eyes and a pretty face, with dimples at the corners of her mouth, making her look lovable.

After the young girl glanced at the old man, she turned her eyes to the figure of the young girl in the water-green clothes, but although her eyes were not on the old man, she said to the old man: "This old man, I have something to say, I don't know what the old man is. Are you willing to listen, sir?"

The old man looked at this lovable and beautiful girl, and said softly: "Girl, tell me."

The beautiful girl withdrew her eyes from the water-green figure, looked at the old man, and sighed softly after a while: "Mr., let me see your face... the Lord may have a catastrophe when you get old. At the age of the old man, it's better to be young." Say something, lest... cough cough, what do you think?"

The old man stood up abruptly, looked at the young girl with an uncertain expression, took a deep breath after seeing her calm expression, and finally glanced at the people around him, and suddenly cupped his hands gratefully to the beautiful young girl, "Thank you, miss." !"

Only after this interruption, the small inn fell silent again, but the girl in the water green dress and the most corner guests also looked back at the old man.

But I can't rest tonight. After a long silence, these merchants started chatting again.

They chatted for a long time at the beginning, but as time went by, these conversations began to fail to arouse their interest.

After a while, they actually started chatting about the struggle between the righteous and the evil, and in their words, they were all talking about the great war between the righteous and the evil ten years ago and the destruction of the Wandu sect six years ago.

These merchants are just ordinary people, and naturally they have not seen the scene at that time with their own eyes, but this does not prevent them from hearing other people's news.

Because cultivators are always unpredictable, and ordinary people like them look forward to the deeds of immortals, so they relish and believe in the news that comes out.

In addition, this place is close to Xiaochi Town, and they have often heard about Wanyouxuan's deeds of eliminating demons. Therefore, most of their discussions are related to Qingyunmen or Wanyouxuan.

The more these merchants talked, the more excited they became, gradually attracting the attention of everyone present.

"...Afterwards, because the master of Mr. Wan, the head of the Qingyun Sect, Daoxuan, the old god, pointed at the sky. Inside the Qingyun Sect, there was thunder from the sky, and the thunder was rolling. escape……"

"Bullshit!"

Everyone was shocked, and turned their eyes to the old man who made the voice, that is, the old man next to the girl who pointed out the old man just now, but after everyone looked at the old man, he said angrily: "What is your news? Where did it come from? If Daoxuan is really so powerful, then why did Qingyun Sect suffer heavy losses, one of the leaders fell, and all the disciples of Tongtian Peak betrayed Qingyun Sect!"

Speaking of this, he looked at the merchant who had just spoken, and continued: "If the demon heads of the Demon Cult are really as you said, then why did the little friend Wan you admired almost fall? So that three years later It just appeared again, and now there is no news."

Everyone was silent, but the girl beside the old man frowned and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, Brother Wan's friend, seems to be here..."

The old man was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he said in a low voice: "Xiaohuan, it's okay, I didn't say anything bad about Wan Xiaoyou, besides, Wan Xiaoyou is your second grandfather, it's okay... "

The girl had just taken a sip of the tea in front of her, when she heard that Wan Youxuan was her second grandfather, which made her choke on the tea immediately, and looked angrily at the old man beside her.

Facing this angry gaze, the old man is already used to it, he just wants to emphasize this frequently, after all he knows Wan Youxuan's attraction to this girl, and he can't let them go in that direction.

These two people are Zhou Xiaohuan and his granddaughter Zhou Xiaohuan. It has been ten years since Wan Youxuan saw Zhou Xiaohuan last time.

And these ten years have passed, Xiaohuan has also changed from a little girl to a young girl, and she is very beautiful, but because Wan Youxuan has little news, and Zhou Xian is still alive, so she has no plans to go to Qingyun to practice. .

This week, Yixian didn't seem to care about his granddaughter's reminder just now. After interrupting the conversation of these merchants, he sat directly among the merchants and began to talk about the Qingyun War ten years ago.

Xiaohuan sat in the original position, annoyed and funny, but she couldn't help Zhou Xian, but when she raised her head, she saw the girl in water green clothes waving to her.

She got up and glanced at Zhou Yixian, seeing that he became more and more excited as he talked, she shook her head and sighed, then walked towards the table where the girl in aqua-green clothes was sitting.

Zhou Yixian's eloquence is naturally excellent, otherwise he would not be able to fool so many people when he traveled the world, even Bi Yao, who is the young master of the Ghost King Sect, was almost deceived by him, so the Qingyun War he talked about was better than that of just now. There are countless merchants.

As he was talking, even Boss He of the small inn came over and sat beside him, and everyone listened to his narration as if he was on the scene.

Unknowingly, when the wonderful thing was mentioned, one of the merchants couldn't help but said: "Old man, did you witness it with your own eyes? Otherwise, how could you explain it so clearly."

After Zhou Yixian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he immediately let the temperament of immortality emerge, and then sighed softly: "Oh... At that time, let's not talk... Except for Wan Xiaoyou, those Qingyun juniors are really impressive. A little disappointed!"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately in awe, and they all respectfully saluted Zhou Xian.

Because Zhou Yixian's speech was extremely vivid, so after he finished talking about the Qingyun War, Boss He couldn't help but said: "Old Immortal, do you know about the Wan Gongzi's destruction of the Wan Du sect?"

Boss He's words caused the other two tables to cast their eyes on Zhou Xian, especially the girl in aqua green clothes narrowed her eyes at Zhou Xian.

As for the three people hiding in the darkness at the far corner, they seemed to be a little closer. Although their faces were still blurred, the blood-colored Taoist robe worn by the person in the middle was faintly revealed.

Zhou Yixian didn't seem to notice these gazes, he waved his hands and said, "Of course, because I was the one who ran for Xiaoyou Wan that time."

Seeing the more respectful eyes of the people around him, Zhou Yixian was even more proud, and said lightly: "On that day, I went to the Poisonous Snake Valley of the Wandu Gate with Wan Xiaoyou. Originally, I also wanted to make a move, but because Wan Xiaoyou was in After the Qingyun battle, he got the legendary sword, which is the master of the Star Sword, so he didn't let me interfere that day."

Speaking of this, he seemed to think for a while before continuing: "Speaking of the legendary Star Sword, do you know the legend of the Star Sword? Do you need me to help you out?"

Seeing that the people around him shook their heads, Zhou Yixian stretched out his hands and gestured, and said in an unfathomable tone: "Star Sword..."

Seeing this, the girl in the water-green dress couldn't help but shook her head with a laugh, then looked at Xiaohuan at the side, and said with a light smile, "Xiaohuan, your grandfather is still like this...how should I put it?"

Xiaohuan sighed, took out two bunches of candied haws, gave one to the girl in water green clothes, took a bite of the other, and said softly, "That's how he is, if it wasn't for the golden leaves left by Brother Wan all these years, Our grandpa and grandson might starve to death..."

The girl in water-green clothes chuckled lightly and took a bite of the candied haws. Before she could comfort her, she heard the woman in white beside her say: "Young master, the table at the farthest corner seems to be the place where Yin Demon Zong's people..."
