Chapter 92 East Sea City
"Hero, are you back?"
When Chu Yi heard Xu Fu's threatening words, he was slightly startled, but soon after he recognized Xu Fu, the expression on his face immediately turned from panic to joy, and he ran back towards Xu Fu with his sword in hand.
"How's your sword practice going?" Xu Fu smiled awkwardly, touched Chu Yi's wet hair, and asked loudly.
"It's not very good, but I practice every day." Chu Yi pursed his lips and said sheepishly.
"Very good! You will definitely be a powerful swordsman in the future!"
"I will practice hard."
"The sister who came with me last time, is she at home?"
"Sister Xiaoyu and Aunt Gong are both not at home."
"Auntie?"
"She is Sister Xiaoyu's master. My mother said her surname was Gong and asked me to call her Aunt Gong."
"Would you like to go to her house with me?"
"Okay, I'll show you the way."
Chu carefully put the sword back into its scabbard, put it on his back, and led Xu Fu to Black Feather Jian's house. As he walked, he talked about the sword moves he had "enlightened".
Xu Fu watched Chu Yi dancing solemnly, much like the boxing technique he created when he was herding cattle, and a sense of vicissitudes of life came to his heart. It was obviously not long ago, but it felt like many years had passed.
"Look, they just didn't come back." The two walked to a courtyard, Chu Yi pointed at the old house and said to Xu Fu.
Xu Fu looked at the fresh weeds growing in the corner of the wall and on the path in front of the door, and sighed softly.
"Where did Sister Yu go?"
Seeing that the door was ajar, Xu Fu thought for a while, then opened the door and walked in. Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Fu frowned slightly. It was true that no one had been to this room for a long time. The tables and benches were already covered with dust, but One thing made Xu Fu very surprised. He remembered clearly that he had left a message for Black Feather Arrow on the ground, but now there was no trace at all. If no one had been here, the ground would never be like this. clean.
"Who erased the words? Why?"
Xu Fu couldn't figure it out, so he went out and asked several villagers. The result was the same as what Chu Yi said, they hadn't seen the master and apprentice for a while.
In this case, we can only look for it later. Xu Fu gave Chu Yi a few words and told him that he was going to Qinglong Shanling Academy to practice and to tell Sister Xiaoyu if she came back.
Seeing Chu Yi who was a little disappointed when he learned that he was about to leave, Xu Fu took out a book from his bag and handed it over.
"This is... the secret book of immortal magic?" Chu Yi looked at the four characters "Spring Rebirth Heart Technique" written on the cover, his eyes widened immediately, and he exclaimed in disbelief.
"Are you literate?" Xu Fu looked at Chu Yi's exaggerated expression and asked with a smile. When he was a child, he dreamed of being a hero all day long, hoping that a mysterious master would give him secret books. Unexpectedly, he had now become this mysterious master in the eyes of others.
"My father taught me some things." Hearing Xu Fu's question on Chuyi, he quickly raised his head and answered honestly.
"Recognize more words, memorize more books, practice martial arts well, and practice swordsmanship well." Xu Fu didn't know if he would come back again. He looked at the simple first grade of junior high school and whispered.
"Thank you, hero. When I master it, I will be like you, hero, and do justice!" Chu Yi held the secret book with his eyes shining, as if he had found a treasure, and vowed.
"Okay." Xu Fu responded with a smile.
……
As the date of the report approached, Xu Fu hurriedly hit the road. There was a shortcut to Qinglong Shanling Temple by taking the water route. Xu Fu inquired all the way and found a dock. He picked a pretty good passenger ship and walked down the Jucang River for three full days. After three nights, at noon on the fourth day, we finally arrived at Donghai City, the gathering place for the new students of Qinglong Shanngling Academy.
Donghai City is located on the shores of the vast East China Sea and is named after it. Because it is adjacent to the estuary of the Jucang River, shipping is very convenient and attracts many merchants to live here. According to legend, the city has been expanded three times, and its scale can be said to be one of the best in the world.
Xu Fu was amazed when he looked at this "giant city" in front of him. He thought that all the cities in the world were similar to Shangyang City and Shaoshang City. This time it was an eye-opener. Compared with Donghai City, Shaoshang City and Shangyang City were on top of each other. Think of it as a bigger town.
Far away, Xu Fu saw two large characters with flying dragons and phoenixes carved on the wall of Donghai City - "East China Sea". These two characters are engraved vertically on the right side of the city gate. Each character is one foot high. From a distance, it has an imposing aura. I don’t know which skilled craftsman carved it, but it is incompatible with this "giant city" It fits perfectly and doesn't feel awkward at all.
As he got closer, Xu Fu discovered that there were many strange marks on the surface of the city wall. They were so dense that they couldn't be seen to the end, and the city wall was much thicker than expected. Even the city guards stationed at the city gate are different from ordinary city guards. Although they look lazy, their eyes are always wandering around the passers-by, and their weapons are placed within easy reach, just like Waiting for a wanted criminal who is about to pass by here.
Xu Fu was a little scared when one of them stared at him. He quickly turned his face and looked around while walking forward into the city.
"Why are you like this!"
A shout sounded in Xu Fu's ears, the sound was clear and loud, causing passers-by to look over.
"oops!"
When Xu Fu turned around, he was greeted by a whip flashing with lightning. No
"what are you doing?"
Xu Fu raised his hands to protect his head and face, received a severe blow on his arm, and asked angrily. What's wrong with this young lady? She greets them with a whip. If he hadn't owed her a favor, Xu Fu would have thrown her aside long ago.
"Why did you leave without even saying hello?"
Qinglu shouted confidently, but her tone was mixed with a bit of grievance.
"You didn't say you wanted to come together." Xu Fu was a little weaker, for fear of making the young lady cry again in public.
"I shamelessly changed my mind to the Soul Academy, but you actually... actually... still say that!"
Qinglu's tears of grievance were already welling up in her eyes.
"Sister, please don't be like this. I really have something important to do, and I didn't mean to wait for you." Upon seeing this, Xu Fu hurried forward and sincerely surrendered. If he doesn't coax this eldest sister well, I'm afraid someone will soon face injustice.
"Fortunately, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch up with you... I didn't bring anything with me... I didn't dare to rest all the way..."
It's okay that Xu Fu didn't persuade her. This advice completely aroused Qinglu's grievance, and regardless of the eyes of the people around her, she choked and cried to Xu Fu.
"Bold!"
Faced with this situation, Xu Fu only felt that the first one was bigger than the two. Just when he was racking his brains to think of how to coax this eldest lady, a sharp shout sounded from behind Qinglu.
A man was more than eight feet long, with a face like a crown of jade, a slender figure, and a spotless green gown. He glared at Xu Fu.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaolu, let me help you vent your anger." After the man finished speaking, he slapped Xu Fu on the right cheek.
When Xu Fu heard this, he just thought that this person was familiar with Qinglu. Although he didn't like him for attacking rashly without asking the reason, he didn't want to make things worse, so he simply raised his hand to block the slap.
Just when he was about to explain, Xu Fu suddenly felt his arms tighten. He suddenly discovered that a vine actually grew out of the man's sleeve, and it quickly wrapped around his arm like a snake, and then wrapped around Xu Fu's body along the arm.
Xu Fu hurriedly stretched out his hand to tear it apart, and found that the vine actually branched out into many small branches. As soon as he tore off one branch, two more branches grew out. After a while, Xu Fu was wrapped around him, leaving only his head outside, unable to move.
What puzzled Xu Fu was that when the city guards saw this situation, they had no intention of stepping forward to dissuade them. They still staggered around and watched the fun.
"Xiao Lu, he has fallen into my demon-binding hand. Lend me your whip and I will whip him for you." The man's comforting voice was extremely soft, with a look of concern on his face.
Seeing Xu Fu being tied up like this, Qinglu wiped away her tears, curled her lips, and finally said nothing, turned around and ran away.
"Xiao Lu? Xiao Lu!"
The man who took action called twice, but did not receive any response from Qinglu. When he looked at Xu Fu again, his face became a little gloomy.
"It's unlucky for you. You are short of bait now, so you should apologize."
As soon as the man finished speaking, the expressions of the passers-by who had stopped to watch the show with great interest changed, and they all left in a hurry, as if they had heard something horrifying.
"What's your surname?" Xu Fu could naturally see the hostility of the man in front of him. Although his hands and feet were tied, there was no trace of panic on his face, and he just asked calmly.
"Yang Cai."
"Brother Yang, there was a misunderstanding just now. Qinglu and I are classmates. Please clear it up for me first, and I will tell you slowly."
"Misunderstand?"
Yang Cai thought about Qinglu's rude appearance just now, and the anger in his heart became more intense. How could he not see Qinglu's abnormal appearance? As a person who has experienced it, he knew very well what this abnormality meant. I have been my childhood sweetheart for so many years, but I didn’t expect that someone would pick my peaches after not seeing each other for just a few months.
"I told you, we are short of bait right now."
"What's the bait?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
"Then untie it first, it's very awkward to tie it up like this."
"Just bear with it, it can't be solved."
Seeing Yang Cai's indifferent attitude, Xu Fu didn't bother to pretend anymore. He pushed his hands outwards and the vines immediately broke. After tearing off the remaining ones, the vines were quickly cleaned up.
"A couple of times."
Seeing how easily the other person broke free from the restraints, Yang Cai's expression moved slightly, he smiled slightly, raised his right hand, and another vine poked out from his sleeve.
Xu Fu didn't know why the Yang Cai in front of him insisted on getting into trouble with him. Seeing that he was about to take action again, he had to concentrate on being on guard, hesitating in his heart whether to knock him out directly.
"stop!"
Some vague sounds sounded, and then a petite light green figure fell between the two of them. The person who came was none other than Qingguo. Her mouth was bulging, and she didn't know what kind of pastries were stuffed in her mouth. Some light yellow crumbs were all over her mouth.
"Junior Brother Yang, this is this year's newcomer."
"Xu Fu, this is from our spiritual academy, you have to call me senior brother."
Qingguo swallowed the cake in her mouth hard and introduced it to the two of them.
"Are you Xu Fu?" Yang Cai frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, the love rival he killed was actually the leader of the Forty-Two Spiritual Academy Competition. As for Xu Fu's methods, word has spread to the Shanling Academy. A newcomer who has not even cultivated spiritual power can actually survive all the way and win the championship with his powerful physical body. Many people are very curious about this Xu Fu.
"Exactly, I've met Senior Brother Yang." Xu Fu said hello to Yang Cai happily, as if nothing had happened between the two of them.
Seeing Xu Fu's calmness that was not consistent with that of a young man, Yang Cai felt a little uneasy, but a pleased smile appeared on his face and he praised, "Famous is not as good as meeting."
Seeing the two of them acting like this, Qingguo concluded that the two of them just had a misunderstanding. After bidding farewell to Yang Cai, he called Xu Fu and walked quickly towards the market of Donghai City.
"Xu Fu, please try which snack is delicious? I really can't eat any more!" Qingguo said to Xu Fu, pointing to two boxes of different snacks carefully selected from a snack shop on the street.
"Thank you, senior sister!"
Xu Fu looked at Qingguo, whose mouth was full of snack dregs, and sincerely thanked him. Although this senior sister looked young, she was really thoughtful.
During the three days on the boat, Xu Fu had no appetite. At this time, he smelled the aroma of pastries and saliva almost flowed from the corners of his mouth.
I saw Xu Fu squatting on the ground, taking a bite from the left and a bite from the right. In a short time, he swept away the two boxes of snacks. The taste of these two pastries is very similar, so it’s no wonder that Qing Guo can’t tell the difference.
For Xu Fu, two boxes of snacks could only be regarded as appetizers, and he still had some money left. Xu Fu was about to ask Qingguo where the restaurant in Donghai City was when he saw Qingguo looking at the empty snack boxes, her eyes widening.
"Where are the snacks?"
"Eat it."
"Who eats it?"
"I ate."
"Who gave you food?"
"Isn't it you?"
"I let you taste it, but you couldn't eat it all!"
Qingguo took the two exquisite snack boxes from Xu Fu's hands with an aggrieved look on his face and stood there blankly. She never expected that when she turned to look at Rouge, Xu Fu had actually finished both boxes of snacks.
"How about I pay you compensation? I have money with me." Seeing this, Xu Fu felt embarrassed and said while taking out the money.
"Can't buy it anymore!"
Qingguo was so aggrieved that she was about to cry. In order to choose these two boxes of snacks, she spent an hour choosing them. She tasted almost all the snacks in the shop. She felt like vomiting until the end of the meal. She could no longer distinguish between good and bad. Then Xu Fu came to help taste it, but he didn't expect that Xu Fu ate it all and failed.
"I see there are many more shops in the shop." Xu Fu pointed at the shop and said.
"The eight best pieces are all sold out. The other senior brothers Cangyun will definitely not like it!"
At this point, Qingguo finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing the passers-by looking over, Xu Fu was stunned for a moment, and quickly spoke to comfort him. After all, he was also a monk from Shanling Academy. Why did he cry just because he said he was crying?
As soon as he stepped into Donghai City, he made the two eldest ladies cry. Xu Fu felt that this city might not be compatible with him.
"Let's quickly choose another one for Senior Brother Cangyun. It will be too late!"
In order to make up for his mistakes, Xu Fu promised to help Qingguo choose the best gift in the entire Donghai City to give to senior brother Cangyun.
"Have you been to Donghai City? Do you know where to look?" Qingguo asked while wiping the tears on his face.
"I don't know about other places. There must be good things here!" After Xu Fu finished speaking, he walked forward immediately.
Qingguo hurriedly followed. There were many people on the street at this time, and they could easily get separated if they were not careful.
Qingguo looked at the direction Xu Fu was going, and a big word "Yi" came into view.
