032. Xin Shu's Heart Knot (Part 1)
Until he quietly left before dawn, Qiu You failed to convince his third uncle to listen to him. On the contrary, Laobing explained many things that happened that year and repeatedly discouraged him from having any crazy ideas.
Of course Qiu You could also think of whether there was an inside story to the tribal conflict back then, but isn't that what conflicts in the world are often like? The result was bloody, and it was certain. Yu Dakei was killed, and the Youyu clan served as slaves for ten years.
And he Qiu You suffered so much and endured the humiliation and burden for so many years.
He finally came back. If he gave up like this, it would mean that he would lose his hometown and even his sense of existence would be gone. Even if all the people in Youyu Village had forgotten, it would be impossible for him to travel again, otherwise he would be like this
What’s the point of years of struggle?
Qiu You did not go away immediately and continued to hide outside the house. He heard his third uncle pushing his mother-in-law to wake up and telling her what had just happened. The mother-in-law was shocked and said: "That Youwazi is back. He learned a lot outside.
I, you want to seek revenge from the Lord of Ruoshan City? You must report this matter to Lord Shan immediately! If he really goes, our whole family will be affected."
Lao Bing persuaded his mother-in-law: "No, please don't. Even if You Wazi has some skills, he can't hurt Master Shan even a hair. He doesn't know what happened back then. I have already told him and persuaded him for a long time. Maybe he will
I won’t go. Report it to Mr. Shan now, or he might be arrested. I am his uncle after all..."
Qiu You felt a sense of sadness again inexplicably, whether it was for himself or for Uncle San∷♂Chang∷♂Feng∷♂Wen∷♂. He quietly used a divine mind spell, which may have a slight impact on the minds of ordinary people, allowing
The third uncle and his wife had forgotten about this incident. Even if they accidentally remembered it in the future, they would mistakenly think it was just a hazy dream. In the next few days, Qiu You quietly visited various parts of the wilderness and saw the original fish villages living there.
tribesmen.
Just as the third uncle said, everyone has chosen to forget and never mention the past. Except for a few very remote demon clans in this area, almost everyone claims to be a member of the Shanshui clan. Not only is there no longer the Youyu clan, but also the Lu clan
The same is true for the Huahai tribe. Everyone has merged to form a brand new tribe.
Some of Qiu You's wishes were destined to be difficult to fulfill. Looking at his strange hometown, he suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, as if he no longer knew the world, and his mood was confused.
I don’t know how long it took, but he suddenly woke up again. For a Dacheng monk, this is not what he should be. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles he faces, he can’t get lost. Isn’t this what he has been doing in the past ten years?
To achieve today's achievements.
No, what happened back then must be clarified, and we can't just leave it unexplained! After the third uncle's lesson, Qiu You did not show up to contact his old friends in Youyu Village again, and only peeped in secret. Finally, he decided to find someone
Man. He originally didn't want to use this hidden line so early. According to the original plan, even if he used it, he would have to wait until he took Ruoshan.
Chi Wangqiu has an ambush in Shanshui City, who has been monitoring the situation in Beihuang. This person is Xin Shu, the master engineer of Shanshui City.
He is respected by all the people in the city, and his prestige is second only to the city lord Ruoshan, but no one knows that he is actually the descendant of Chiwangqiu and has a secret mission.
Xin Shu was sent privately by Xingyao and had been "lurking" for so many years. As Xingyao's direct disciple, Qiu You knew Xin Shu's identity. Chi Wangqiu also arranged such a secret hand on Ba Yuan
There were many people who did it for no reason, and Xin Shu was a very special one among them. Only a few people knew about his situation, and even Xuanyuan, the current Three Kingdoms guard elder, didn't know about it.
Qiu You doesn't know what Xingyao's real purpose is for letting Xin Shu lurk in Shanshui City. I'm afraid even Xin Shu himself doesn't know it completely.
Xin Shu's task is to monitor all the situations in the Northern Wilderness and report to Xingyao regularly. If there is any abnormality, he must report it immediately. Xin Shu also has a special induction magic weapon in his hand, which he must carry with him. If there is anything abnormal with the magic weapon,
If there is a reaction, Xingyao will be notified immediately using the pre-arranged communication method.
Qiu You didn't know that Xin Shu had an induction magic weapon in his hand. He only knew that the master had arranged a person here privately. He went to see Xin Shu privately and contacted him through the sect's secret means, and he would not be
Outsiders know.
Some things are difficult for ordinary people to find out clearly. Since Xin Shu has such a status and prestige in Shanshui City, and has been responsible for collecting intelligence in the Beihuang area for so many years, it is perfect to ask him some questions.
Qiu You thought his whereabouts were very secret, but he didn't know that since he entered Shanshui Pass, his every move was under the surveillance of others. He found that Qiu You had asked someone to meet in private in the wilderness outside the city, and the person who came was actually an engineer.
At the end of the day, both Shan Ye and Granny Shui changed their expressions, which they had never expected beforehand.
When Xin Shu saw a strange young man coming, he tried his best to put away his surprise and stepped forward to salute: "Who are you? Lord Xingsha specially sent you to Shanshui City to find me. What are your instructions?"
Qiu You returned the courtesy and said: "Brother Xin Shu, my name is Qiu You, and Lord Xingsha is my master. I just broke through the sixth level of cultivation a few days ago. I want to return to Chiwangqiu to report to my master. I am passing by Shanshui City and want to find you.
Ask about something."
Xin Shu has been very worried in his heart over the years. He is loyal to his mission and regularly reports everything that happens in Shanshui City to Xingsha through secret messengers. He doesn't know why Chiwangqiu wants him to collect this information. Xingsha doesn't know.
He said that he consciously did not ask.
But he has become accustomed to staying here, and his cultivation has broken through from the fourth realm to the fifth realm. He gets along very well with Shan Ye and others. Not only is he respected by the local people, he also has great feelings for Shanshui City and the Shanshui clan.
.
Xin Shu can be said to be one of the founders of Shanshui City and the Shanshui Clan. He not only witnessed the emergence of this city and what Beihuang became today, he also personally participated in it and made great efforts for it.
He worked hard and did too many things, otherwise he would not be respected by all people.
Xin Shu did this at first in order to conceal his identity as much as possible in order to gain the trust of Ruoshan and the local people. However, his contribution to Shanshui City was also real. Over time, his body and mind became truly involved, and it was not always against his will.
It seems that he is a more authentic self. When a person devotes so much wholeheartedly, it is impossible for him to stop cherishing everything he gets.
If his greatest achievement in the past ten years or so is to assist Ruoshan in building Shanshui City and create today's Beihuang, he is also proud of it.
I have to admit that Xin Shu is an extremely successful lurker, but the more he does this, the more uneasy he feels in his heart, and the more afraid that one day his secret identity will be exposed. If you have trusted his friends for many years and respected him
His subordinates and the people who looked up to him found out that he was actually a "spy" who had been lurking for a long time. I wonder what they would think. And how should he face all this, or how should he face himself like that?
If so, Xin Shu even feels that his life is full of absurdity. Xin Shu hopes that day will come as late as possible, or preferably never come. In fact, he himself also feels that as time goes by, his mission seems to have been
No longer being taken seriously, he gradually turned from a dark figure into a dispensable abandoned figure.
But Xin Shu was not disappointed, and even secretly felt lucky. This was the best, and it was also a relief for him. Asking himself, Xin Shu actually preferred to stay in Shanshui City, which was already his home and built with his own hands.
His homeland. All his emotions for this place are real and difficult to let go of.
So when he came to see Qiu You, Xin Shu was very scared. Xing Sha suddenly sent people to Shanshui City to find him. Something important must have happened. After seeing Qiu You, he learned that the other party just wanted to inquire about some information privately.
, Xin Shu couldn't help but be very angry, and came to see him for such a small matter. What if his identity was exposed!
But the other party was a direct disciple of Xingsha and a great monk, so Xin Shu couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, he was just asking about something in private.
After finding Xin Shu, Qiu You also felt inexplicably disappointed, or rather, indescribable loss. He completely understood what had happened from that year to the present, and disappeared into the dark mountains and jungles with a lonely expression.
…
After nightfall, there was silence inside and outside Shanshui City. Under the starry sky, a faint shadow floated into the city lord's mansion, and no one noticed it in the darkness. The lights were still on in the main hall of the back house. The city lord was not resting, and he didn't know what he was doing with the lights on.
There were no guards on duty in front of the hall, and there was only Ruoshan in the hall. Qiu You pushed the door open, stepped in, and closed the door smoothly.
The door did not make any sound. Qiu You was confident that his cultivation was enough to subdue Ruoshan without disturbing anyone. Even if someone broke into the hall unintentionally, he could make them fall into an inexplicable drowsiness without knowing what happened.
Qiu You is a little nervous but also very excited. The nervousness is not because of fear, but because of expectation. He has been looking forward to coming to Ruoshan for these years, and now he is looking forward to seeing the panicked look of the city lord. Will Ruoshan scream?
Calling for his personal guards? When Ruoshan realizes that any struggle is in vain, who knows how frightened he will be?
A total of twelve lamps were lit in the hall. Two of them, one on the left and one on the right, were on the table in front of Ruoshan. The remaining ten were distributed in different positions, illuminating the entire hall very brightly and leaving almost no shadows. Qiu You
I couldn't help feeling a little angry. Ordinary people usually couldn't bear to light lamps and would take a quick rest after dark. However, this city lord's life was too extravagant and he needed to be scolded and taught a lesson.
Ruoshan was sitting in front of the case, using a thin bamboo stick to pick up paint, and was carving something on a special animal skin. Mr. Cangjie passed the text to Ba Yuan, and now the text has also spread to Shanshui City. She seems to be making a copy
Recording, or writing a classic.
A stranger suddenly appeared in the hall. Ruoshan put down the things in his hands, looked up at Qiu You and said, "You are finally here? I have been waiting for several days, and I specially light these lights for you every night." (Unfinished)
