By daybreak, the villagers fleeing the disaster gradually returned Seeing their village was safe and sound, everybody was elated
The Li ethnic young girl peeked through theand saw Kou Zhong was having a good dream; she did not disturb hi was actually awake; he was happy to enjoy the peaceful and quiet thatched hut, pondering over who ht the martial art master who killed Cui Jixiu and the others be?
There was a co up and rushed out with the saber in his hand, and saw that everybody was starting to flee in confusion
With a frightened expression on her face, the young girl was running along with the other villagers toward theat hi was still bewildered over as happening, the villagers have left until not a single one re wondered if they were Cui Jixiu’s reinforceht that Ouyang Qian’s Li Liao warriors were still in the neighboring village; they could not possibly let Lin shi+hong’s thief aro to the beach to take a look
Passing through a forest, the ocean ahead extended as far as the eye could see, under the bright sunlight filling the whole sky Sure enough, he saw a shi+p cruising along the coastal area
Focusing his attention to look, Kou Zhong let out a shriek, and threw hi out a long whistle
Surprisingly, it was Bu Tianzhi’sjued him fiercely, while the rest of their hing heartily, Kou Zhong asked, “Are you all right?”
Everybody replied in chorus, “We are all right!”
Grabbing his shoulder, Bu Tianzhi chuckled and said, “Although we know those Gaoli people could not do so to Shao Shuai, ere anxious for two days and two nights”
Kou Zhong laughed and said, “This is called the Heaven helped me Were it not for that storm, which came just in time, to whom the deer falls [ie the victor] was yet to be seen But now that Jin Zhengzong’s multi-decked shi+p has turned to, at least, half dead deer, they randfather Emperor of the Sea] would bless and protect thehter; the at raised his arm and shouted loudly, “Brothers! We inan”
The crowd erupted in thunderous cheer
When Xu Ziling awoke, the oing through full four sichen of regulating his breathing, the injury due to the battle against Xi Ying has disappeared without any trace His heart was overwhel a life as fugitives to the other end of the world, fro have joined forces to assassinate Ren Shao talent in the process, to the present day, where, in one-on-one duel, he ht Major Martial Art Masters of the Deive up his soul while nursing a grievance As for the bizarre twists and turns in this h to tell everything, not to ht, under pressure frofa, especially during the final hand-to-hand close coht by Li Jing, and alternately used Tu Shufang’s Severing Meridian Technique and Zhen Yan’s Handprints, to create strange moves By the time the battle reached its peak, all the moves melted into one; where hisand beautiful feeling, was extre
This incomparably hard-to-defeat opponent has enabled hih in the cultivation of thehis appointment with Hou Xibai, he hastily took off his Yue Shanrobe, and incarnated into the ‘Scar Face Guest’ Gong Chenchun Leaving the rear courtyard of so, he went to the appointedplace at a restaurant on the Lower Lotus Pond Street Most of the traveling du for the Mid-Autumn Festival have not left town, hence the city was still unusually flourishi+ng
If Luoyang was called thepot city and county where the Han and non-Han people coexist, then Chengdu was the commerce center where the Han people deal with all different ethnic groups It was briroups’ local conditions and custo features, which increased the brisk vitality and the atdu
Hidden behind the scar-faced ’s sex appeal was reduced substantially, but due to his proud, tall and straight elegant body shape, he still attracted a few coquettish glances
But Xu Ziling’s ht about his i his appointment with Hou Xibai, he already made up his mind to leave Sichuan irow into an increasingly distant past shi+ Qingxuan’s seely passionate yet heartless toward hi blow on his heart
When he was under pressure and facing threats, he was able to cast her aside and not think about her But like right nohen his heart was not occupied with other matters, inevitably it drifted to the scenes that recalled past memories, sofor her again, ht be a turn for the better
shi+ Qingxuan was unlike shi+ Feixuan, who, fro has already raised her banner of not setting foot into the passion between asensation when he had just arrived at Chengdu, where he caught a gliht, the scene that was still lingering on his mind until now
He did not wish to be bothered by o far away as quickly as possible
In Chengdu, there were es, like the one he was currently walking along, the Lower Lotus Pond Street And then there was the one he passed through just now, the Princely dyke Street, Bluestone Bridge Street, Arching-Back Bridge Street, King’s Belt Bridge Street, and so on Upon reaching the street, one would know that very soon one would cross over the bridge with the sa
When the destination was in sight, Hou Xibai’s voice calling out fro the voice, Xu Ziling entered the alley, and saw Hou Xibai looking like he had spring breeze across his face Astonished, he asked, “Has Hou Xiong h in the Bu Si Yin Fa?”
Hou Xibai warmly pulled his elbow to take hi, “You could say that Last night Xiaodi saw Feixuan; we chatted for the whole sichen, I benefited a lot, naturally ht, ‘So that’s what happened’, it looked like shi+ Feixuan was pretty good to hiratulate Hou Xiong Aren’t we going into the building [orig lou,to San Hua Lou]?”
Frowning deeply, Hou Xibai said, “Xiaodi was entangled by that crafty and unruly woman Fan Caiqi until I nearly lose my life; I will absolutely not showis dead?”
Putting on an act, Xu Ziling blurted out, “What?”
Exhaling slowly, Hou Xibai said, “This could be the most sensational affair in Wulin for the past few years Last night, the returning-to-the-fray-after-a-period-of-inactivity ‘Overbearing Saber’ Yue Shan, under escort of An Long and You Niaojuan, broke Xi Ying’s Ziqi Tian Luo, and killed Xi Ying on the spot According to eyewitness, Yue Shan’s Huan Ri Da Fa was extreed to take care Xi Ying, who considered hier need to have a headache in dealing with Xi Ying!”
Even with his si that, inwardly he was proud of his achievement However, naturally on the surface he still put an act and did not show his bursting breast; on the contrary, he repeatedly inquired on what happened, until finally he took the opportunity to say, “Xiaodi has nothing else to do in Chengdu, I want to leave iether by fate, I will drink and chat with Hou Xiong again”
Stunned, Hou Xibai asked, “Why does Ziling look like you are so anxious to leave? Why not stay a day or half a day longer? It’s rare that I don’t have anything i to tour the Cong Hua Xi [lit gurgling flower creek] in the western suburbs, to leave a beautifulsaid, “I a”
Cutting hi insist on leaving, let Xiaodi send you off then You were entering Sichuan via the plank ay going around the es [of Yangtze River: Qutang, Wuxia, and Xiling Gorges]? Xiaodi will arrange everything”
Xu Ziling’s heart was moved; the beauty of nature attracted hireeht a tail wind, their speed doubled as they cross the South China Sea
Co on the bow, Bu Tianzhi said, “The land on the far right is Hepu County; the big island on the left is Zhuya County, which is also Nanhai Pai’s [South (China) Sea Sect] base ca cheerfully said, “No wonder people say that reading ten thousand scrolls of book is not as good as traveling ten thousand li of road; they also say that seeing so about it frouys described the scenery of Lingnan, it was not as good as the scene beforetall trees, what are they called? The shape is very strange”
Bu Tianzhi replied, “Those are coconut trees, Zhuya’s regional specialty Evergreen across the four seasons, and the whole tree is a treasure The trunk can be used to build houses, the fruits have abundant meat and plenty of juice, the shells can be made into various kinds of household utensils, they can even be used to resist the sea breeze”
Gazing into the distance, Kou Zhong could only see coconut trees densely lining up the island shore, tree shadoaying in the wind, an expanse of thick green scenery, producing rustling noise fro the shore Under the twilight sun, a feould doubt that it was the celestial scenery in the huarden of immortality
Close to shore wereto port Just by looking at how deep the hull was in the water, one would know that they were returning fro, clear seawater were thousand-beauty-ten-thousand-shape colorful coral reefs Kou Zhong mused inwardly that if he was not in a hurry, he would love to dive down to explore, which certainly would bring hihed lightly and said, “Looks like Ling Shao is sood places on earth h to travel all le over the world?”
With the qualifications of one with hed and said, “So burnout; but in a flash that feeling would vanish without any trace People need to play around and rest; Shao Shuai is too tired!”
