Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 346 Guarding a Place

"Senior, please wait!"

Zhao Jun got up and saw the young man in green robe floating away, so he hurriedly bowed and called out.

The young man did not look back, his figure disappeared into the darkness. A voice could be heard from afar: "Yan Heqing died because of the sword I gave him. I owe him this. It is only right that I spend more than 20 days to send him off. With their current state of mind and the merits they have accumulated... they will be able to survive..."

The conversation later became disjointed and unclear.

I don’t know if the key point is deliberately hidden or it is too far away?
Zhao Jun shouted, "Senior, how can I find my reincarnated master and the old swordsman?"

According to the mysterious senior, the reincarnation of Master and the old Sword Master should be successful.

During these days, he followed the boy all the way and never spoke to him. Because of the boy's disdainful and cold expression, he didn't dare to strike up a conversation with him, fearing that he would annoy him and be stopped from following.

"I don't know...let it be..."

The voice faded away, and no matter how much Zhao Jun asked, there was no response.

Zhao Jun bowed respectfully in the direction the young man left, feeling empty and uncomfortable in his heart. He placed offerings and wine on the top of the mountain, burned incense and paper, and stayed there alone for the whole night, sitting cross-legged and recalling every word of his master's teachings.

When it was bright, Zhao Jun, with a white cloth tied on his left arm, knelt down and left.

My relationship with my master has ended in this life, and I don’t know what it will be like in the next life. Perhaps I won’t even recognize him in person.

Walking through the passage to the Gem City, Zhao Jun saw nothing but white.

The trees are wrapped in plain cloth, white lanterns are hung, and the eaves are painted white.

He was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that a ceremony to send off the souls would be held in the city tonight. After the war, it would be a big deal to choose a day to escort the soul-calling pillar that contained the soul fragments out of the dark world, and a grand ceremony to pray for the souls to be reborn would also be held in Dingzhou.

"Old Zhao, you're finally back. My uncle has been waiting for you for a few days. Come with me."

Xu Shengtian, who was riding on the back of a silver-white insect, saw Zhao Jun standing in a daze at the entrance of the passage, and hurriedly flew over and called out.

Zhao Jun forced a smile on his face and nodded, then flew into the city in silence.

Xu Shengtian scratched his hair. Seeing that Lao Zhao was in a bad mood, he refrained from asking about the whereabouts of the mysterious young man. His uncle would ask about it later.

When they arrived at the old courtyard, it was quiet inside. Xu Yuanchang and Zeng Wanglou sat opposite each other playing chess, while Bian Qiuyan watched the game and poured tea on the side.

"Draw, draw. See you next time."

Xu Yuanchang stretched out his hand to mess up the chess game. He was no match for Zeng Lao and this was not the first time he had cheated.

He invited Zhao Jun to sit down and said, "Shengtian told me that on the day of the battle, he saw you leaving with Ye Changmeng."

Zhao Jun bowed respectfully to the serious Mr. Mu, nodded to Bian Qiuyan, and then sat down and said, "Senior Ye used the soul beads to contain the remaining souls of the old sword saint and my master, nourishing them for more than 20 days, and took them to travel all over Dingzhou. Last night, he sent them into the netherworld, and I accompanied them all the way."

Xu Yuanchang was a little surprised. In his opinion, Lao Li was not a kind-hearted person. He immediately understood that Lao Li did not want to owe the old swordsman anything, and also wanted to earn some merits. He probably took the remaining soul of Grandmaster Xi with him along the way.

Lao Li is an unrestrained and uninhibited person, but he is stubborn and steadfast in his heart.

After carefully inquiring about the details, Xu Yuanchang felt relieved, as his guess was confirmed. With Old Li's help, the old swordsman and the old master Xi should be able to reincarnate smoothly. This is good news. He will send a message to inform Yu Fengwu who is still fighting outside to hunt down the remaining enemies.

"Old Xu, you and Senior Ye..."

Zhao Jun observed the expression and asked.

Xu Yuanchang smiled and denied it: "Ye Changmeng and I have never met."

He didn't say he wasn't familiar with her, nor did he say he didn't know her.

Lao Li was so mysterious and yet so high-profile that he couldn't figure out what that guy was up to.

I'll ask you clearly when we meet next time, just keep it as it is for now.

Zhao Jun knew what was going on. Old Xu called Ye "Senior" by his name, seemingly showing no respect at all, but in fact it showed that they were undoubtedly acquaintances. He did not ask any more questions and asked about the post-war situation. After sitting for less than half an hour, he said goodbye and went back.

He wanted to summon the main formation masters of Tianzhen Mountain to explain some of his master's last wishes.

In the future, he will go out less often, listen to his master's advice and instructions on the road, and spend a hundred years concentrating on studying the most troublesome "Star Fighting Formation", striving to become a sixth-level formation master as soon as possible.

After completing the great ceremony to liberate the souls of the warring states, Xu Yuanchang arrived at the post-war Bian Ning City and would perform his duties to guard the place for ten years.

Bian Ning City is located at the strategic point of the four continents. After the threat of the black spirit is eliminated, it will be a strategic pass for the demon clan to travel.

Meng Shanhe proposed that Xu Yuanchang be appointed as the city lord of Bian Ning City, which was unanimously agreed by Wei Jingshu and Wen Yining. The only three remaining six-story masters in Dingzhou actually wanted to use the strength of Mr. Chongmu and the missing Ye Changmeng as a stabilizer to suppress all kinds of unhealthy tendencies.

Especially the mysterious Ye Changmeng, who had a verbal battle with the multi-eyed monster on the battlefield that day. The shout of "I am your ancestor" was so domineering that it shocked everyone. Even the masters from the four continents heard it clearly.

The legend of Ye Changmeng is circulating in the dark world, but very few people have seen him in person, which makes him even more mysterious.

When Xu Yuanchang took office, he brought with him a follower who called him "little uncle-master". Together with Bian Qiuyan, who was proficient in miscellaneous tasks, and Mei Yuanjian, who was blind but experienced, all affairs and personnel in the city were managed in an orderly manner.

Unless there is a master from the Sixth Floor visiting, or friends and relatives coming to visit, he needs to receive them personally.

At other times, Xu Yuan lived in seclusion, drawing talismans, reading books, feeding the God of Creation, playing with fire, and comprehending the Way of Illusion. He lived a carefree life, occasionally playing chess and drinking tea with Lao Zeng. Five years passed without him noticing, and the four continents monks who swept through the dark world completely wiped out the remaining black spirit enemies.

Dingzhou occupies a large area of ​​wilderness in the south and west, and part of the east. Everywhere you look, you can see busy monks from Daqiling exploring mines. Tens of thousands of monks are scattered in the wild, mining the discovered mines with full enthusiasm, and there is an endless stream of monks transporting materials.

Zhu Zongshan led a team of 10,000 elite soldiers from the United Nations, constantly patrolling the four passages that had been recaptured.

Wherever there is news of the Black Spirits attacking the passage, you can see elite teams rushing around.

"Uncle Junior Master, Taoist Fellow Wu Yao, the God of Qingli Mountain, wants to see you."

Bian Qiuyan walked into the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion and bowed to report to the pavilion.

Xu Yuanchang stretched out his hand to disrupt the chess game that was not in his favor, but Zeng Wanglou had used magic to block the chessboard in advance. He couldn't cheat, so he laughed and stood up, saying, "Please come in quickly."

Zeng Shanlang, who had just returned from a long battle, quietly picked up the kettle and served tea.

Earlier, Xueli, Yuanbao, Huabei and Jinchan had gone out with the restless Xu Shengtian to enjoy the delicious food and drinks.

Soon Wu Yao followed Bian Qiuyan in, bowed and greeted Mr. Mu first, then greeted City Lord Xu.

After sitting down in the pavilion and taking a sip of tea, Wu Yao took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, pushed it across the table, and placed it in front of City Lord Xu, saying with a smile: "Senior Ye sent someone to send me a letter, saying that he wanted City Lord Xu to compensate for the damage caused by the destruction of Qingli Mountain."

Xu Yuanchang was stunned. He was the only one who had ever blackmailed others, but someone actually dared to blackmail him right at his doorstep. He picked up the note and saw clearly that the signature was just a few strokes of the outline of a silly and cute rabbit. He was furious.

"Ye Changmeng, you are going too far, old man! How can this be justified!"

Only Lao Li could do such a sinister thing.

Zeng Wanglou glanced at Senior Ye's handwritten letter. He recognized every word, but when they were put together it sounded like incomprehensible writing and he had no idea what it meant. Seeing that Xu, who often cheated in chess, was defeated, he laughed out loud and drank three cups of tea in a row.

Wu Yao reached out to take back the note.

Xu Yuanchang put the note into his space, changed his face, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Taoist Wu. I made a mistake in making friends. I wonder what kind of compensation you want?"

Wu Yao smiled and shook her head, saying, "I don't need City Lord Xu to compensate me for the resources. Just think of it as City Lord Xu owing me a favor. It doesn't matter whether I repay it or not. I will make friends with City Lord Xu. Goodbye."

She was very straightforward. After she finished speaking, she stood up, bowed, and left without any further delay.

Bian Qiuyan, who had brought the guest in, had already left, and Zeng Shanlang took over the master's place to see the guest out.

"A debt of favor... I would rather compensate with resources."

Xu Yuanchang continued to play chess with Lao Zeng, sighing and complaining about some of the bad things Lao Li had done, and deliberately asking him to take care of Wu Yao in this way. I wonder what kind of relationship Lao Li had with Wu Yao's ancestors?
"They don't want your resources, they want to be your friends."

Zeng Wanglou suddenly grinned and lowered his voice, "It is said that the Qingli Mountain God has a tradition of borrowing seeds. Could it be that Fairy Wu has taken a fancy to you..."

The way the female mountain goddess looked at Xu Xiaozi was so affectionate and affectionate.

Xu Yuanchang stopped Lao Zeng from talking and said, "Please stop talking nonsense. Let's play chess, let's play chess." He changed the subject and asked, "As an elder, you should worry more about the marriage of my stupid apprentice and Meng Yiyi. There are many things to do, such as finding a matchmaker, asking for betrothal gifts, and asking for a name. Don't just think about asking Shan Lang to practice martial arts all day long."

The two of them made moves on the chessboard very quickly.

Zeng Wanglou said disdainfully: "He is your disciple, you should worry about those things, I will only take care of that boy's training."

Xu Yuanchang was speechless, and said to Zeng Shanlang who had returned, "The war is basically over. I will ask a matchmaker to propose marriage for you. I will save you some formalities and make it less complicated. I will choose an auspicious day for you to get married. What do you think?"

Zeng Shanlang couldn't suppress his joy, and asked in a low voice: "Master, I wonder which family you are going to propose marriage to?"

"Which other place? Of course, I'd go to the Meng family."

Zeng Wanglou couldn't help but expose the double act between the master and the disciple, which was tiring to watch.

"Thank you, Master... uh, thank you, Ancestor!"

Zeng Shanlang was so happy that he was a little incoherent.

"Okay, okay."

Xu Yuanchang pondered and said, "Yu Fengwu is Meng Yiyi's master. It would be more appropriate to ask Tang Yijian to be the matchmaker. Let's choose him."

He took out the message, but before he could send it out, a talismanic light flew into the backyard.

Xu Yuanchang took the message and looked at it, his face a little gloomy, and said: "Shengtian sent a message saying that he was poisoned by the Falling God Flower in the wild and lost one of his clones. He took the elixir and is fine." He stood up and walked out.

Zeng Wanglou sneered and said, "Okay, I want to see who is so bold as to do this."

He wished to tear the guy who used the Fallen God Flower into pieces.

"Shanlang, you stay in the city and guard the house."

The two of them flew into the sky.
