Chapter 139: Broken halberds and buried bonesĀ·VIII
Shi Zhixuan didn't like being looked down upon by others. There were many people named Xiao Hao in the Cangyun Army. He was not sure which one this person was looking for, so he asked, "Are you looking for someone in the army?"
Huang Yaoshi was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.
Shi Zhixuan then clasped his fists to him and said, "There are five pawns in the army called Xiao Hao. Which one are you looking for?" Since he reported the pawns, it had nothing to do with the general. Shi Zhixuan consciously ignored Xiao Hao. Huang
Yaoshi frowned a little deeper when he heard this. It seemed that the person in front of him was not the person he was looking for. If Xiao Haoer comes back from Penglai, his legs should be healed. He thought for
a moment and asked again, "Is there a Xiao Hao who is good at martial arts and has white hair?" Shi Zhixuan looked at him strangely and said, "There is no one with white hair in the army." There is one person who is good at martial arts.
Shi Zhixuan's heart moved. Could this person be looking for Ah Hao?
Huang Yaoshi was silent for a long time. He could see that Shi Zhixuan was not lying. They were strangers and there was no need for him to deceive him. But the sound transmission came from the Dashengguan military camp. It shouldn't be unknown to the people here.
After sixty years of separation, maybe Xiao Haoer has grown up and learned to be restrained and know how to hide himself among ordinary people.
He then drew out the jade Xiao from his waist and stood on a high branch to play it. The inner force wrapped the surging sound of the flute like a wave and surged to the entire city. Every move of everyone in the city was locked by his energy. Huang Yaoshi closed his eyes and checked one by one.
Nothing.
Nothing.
None.
The more he couldn't find it, the more the sound of the flute surged. Shi Zhixuan's face turned cold. Although the defenders in the city had some inner strength, they couldn't reach the level of the Five Wonders. Huang Yaoshi's flute music was not something everyone could bear.
Seeing that the garrison soldiers on the top of the city had covered their ears, Shi Zhixuan let out a long whoosh, and the whoosh suddenly collided with Huang Yaoshi's flute sound. For a moment, it seemed that there was no sound in the world.
Huang Yaoshi's flute sound was broken, and he stared at Shi Zhixuan unhappily.
Shi Zhixuan smiled elegantly, stood with his hands behind his back and said: "Your flute skills are exquisite, but playing late at night will inevitably disturb people's sleep. If you want to find someone, why not follow me into the pass and meet those five people."
This is a good suggestion. The other party looks no more than 30 years old, but he can break his flute with a whoosh. Such a young talent is actually not very prominent in the world. I don't know where he came from.
Huang Yaoshi didn't care about Shi Zhixuan breaking his flute. He had already explored the city. It seemed that many masters appeared overnight in Dasheng Pass. Even ordinary pawns have internal strength that is not inferior to second-rate masters. This is really strange.
But except for the one in front of him, the rest of them are not even as good as Xiao Haoer's finger before he went to sea.
He jumped down from the branch and landed on the ground silently without disturbing even a speck of dust. "Thank you."
Shi Zhixuan glanced at the place where he landed, turned around calmly, and led him into the city.
Although the man in front of him was wearing a mask, judging from the color of his hair, he must be quite old. He was looking for a man with great martial arts skills and naturally white hair, and this man happened to be called Xiao Hao.
He couldn't help but think of himself when he first arrived in the world of the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when he asked the disciples of the Ming Cult to help him find Mr. Wanhua all over the world.
Has Ah Hao ever been to this world? This person... is his purpose in looking for him the same as mine?
Shi Zhixuan brought Huang Yaoshi to the front of the tent. Lu Wufan happened to be guarding the door. When he saw the newcomer, his eyes lit up and he bowed politely, as if it had become a habit for many years: "Hello, Grandpa Grandpa!"
Shi Zhixuan was slightly startled and looked back at the person behind him.
He had heard Lu Guanying mention that there was a sect called Peach Blossom Island in this place. The island owner Huang Yaoshi was his master's great master. It was right for this little guy to bow to his father's great master.
From this point of view, the identity of the man in front of him was about to be revealed.
Huang Yaoshi was also very happy to see Lu Wufan. He lifted him up with a light flip of his palm. Among the generations of disciples, this young fellow is the one he likes the most and the one he dislikes the most. He is smart and obedient, but lacks some liveliness. Now he is almost as old as Xiao Haoer.
He has met this young fellow twice. He didn't let Guanying teach him Taohua Island martial arts before, but today he found that his martial arts foundation is not bad.
That's right, with a young master like Shi Zhixuan in the Cangyun Army, it won't be difficult to teach him martial arts.
It's good to join the army.
After Lu Wuhuan stood up, he said to Shi Zhixuan seriously: "I have met the military advisor!"
Shi Zhixuan nodded and ordered him: "Go and call your Hao brothers."
Although Lu Wuhuan didn't know what he was going to do, he agreed very readily and ran away quickly.
Huang Yaoshi looked at his back as he ran away, his eyes were far away, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Shi Zhixuan led him into the tent and asked casually: "Are you looking for a friend? A son? Or...?"
Huang Yaoshi didn't want to say much, but maybe it was because he met Lu Wuchan today, or maybe it was the first time in so many years that he felt so close to his young disciple, and when he came to his senses, he opened his mouth: "When I was young, I accepted a young disciple, and I loved him very much... He was about the same age as Wuchan." He stretched out his hand to compare his height beside him, and was quite emotional.
"He is very intelligent and can master all astronomy and numerology in just one night... It's a pity that we have been apart for longer than we can reunite. A few days ago, I heard someone transmitting messages thousands of miles inside the pass. I thought of him and came to see him."
Shi Zhixuan's eyes widened a little, and he touched his chin and said, "This... Most of the brothers in the army are no older than 40. I'm afraid your disciple is not in the army."
Master Huang Yaoshi shook his head, "He has been different since he was a child, and he grows slower than others. It's possible
that he looks old now." Shi Zhixuan now believed even more that he might be talking about Xiao Hao. Any warrior who enters their Broken Void realm will no longer change his appearance from the moment of breakthrough. When Xiao Hao was in Wanhua, his appearance had not changed in thirty years. If Ah Hao had been to this world before...
when he saw Xiao Hao, he was already a banished immortal in his twenties, but this person saw Ah Hao as a teenager.
How many years had Ah Hao been traveling in one world after another? Huang Yaoshi said that he grew slowly, so how long did it take for him to grow from a teenager to his current appearance?
Shi Zhixuan felt a little nervous, if only he could have met him earlier.
A mentor is like a father, is this man actually Ah Hao's master...
Lu Guanying did say that the Qimen Dunjia and Five Elements Divination of Peach Blossom Island are the best in the world, and the island owner is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. No wonder... no wonder... if he had been a disciple of Peach Blossom Island in his childhood, it would be natural for him to learn these things.
Shi Zhixuan's palms suddenly broke out in sweat,
and he felt a little uneasy. Originally, he didn't want to call the people in this world "seniors". It was not clear who was the senior in terms of age. He was born in the first year of Tianjia. No matter how old Huang Yaoshi looked, he was still five or six hundred years younger than him, but... this man was Ah Hao's master, which meant something different.
When Shi Zhixuan thought of this man who had taken care of the young Xiao Hao and taught him music, chess, calligraphy, painting, martial arts and miscellaneous studies, he felt a little... unsure of how to express himself when sitting in front of him.
Neither of them was talkative, so they kept silent. Huang Yaoshi was looking forward to meeting someone soon, but Shi Zhixuan was struggling over how he should introduce himself to his master.
Soon, Lu Wuhuan brought Lao Hao, Si Hao, and Xiao Hao into the tent. Er Hao followed Xiao Hao to attack Jiuli Pass at night, so the two of them were not in the army.
Huang Yaoshi shook his head in disappointment, as none of the people in front of him were what he was looking for. Hearing their names, he asked casually, "You have one, four, and three, but where are two and three?"
Lu Wuhuan immediately replied, "Second brother followed the general to fight the Tartars!"
Huang Yaoshi saw that he only answered two but not three, and became even more confused, "What about the third one?" After all, Xiao Hao'er was also ranked third in his Peach Blossom Island. Shi Zhixuan
hurriedly said, "San Hao is not the person you are looking for, or he is missing."
Huang Yaoshi stared at them, thinking that they were hiding something, and said unhappily, "I haven't seen him yet, how do you know it's not him?"
"This..." Shi Zhixuan hesitated. San Hao is now lying in the green hills of Zongzipo. It is better for Huang Yaoshi not to know about this before he meets Ah Hao.
Huang Yaoshi saw that he was unwilling to talk, and said with a flick of his sleeves, "Wukuang!"
"Here!" Lu Wukuang straightened up reflexively, blinking and looking at Huang Yaoshi.
"Take me to see the third brother."
Lu Wukuang glanced at Shi Zhixuan, who shook his head helplessly, "Senior, how about we meet again when the general returns victorious tomorrow?"
Huang Yaoshi stared at his expression for a long time, and soon understood, "He's dead, isn't he?"
"...Yes."
The master was as smart as Ah Hao, this was really difficult to deal with.
Huang Yaoshi suddenly laughed, waved his hands and said: "My disciple, Huang Yaoshi, will not die in front of a few ordinary pawns! You are right, the third brother is not the one I am looking for. However, we should go to see the burial place of this loyal soul! Wuhuan, lead the way!"
Shi Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lu Wuhuan a promise.
The most important thing is not to hurt the elders' hearts. I hope that Ah Hao can come back soon so that this person can see it.
Huang Yaoshi followed Lu Wuhuan to the tomb of Sanhao. In front of the lonely mound stood a simple stone tablet, and the handwriting from the system was somewhat familiar.
Huang Yaoshi touched the two characters "Xiao Hao" and the small three in the lower right corner. He didn't know whether he was talking to the person in the tomb or to Lu Wuhuan beside him:
"The green mountains are lucky to bury loyal bones. It is not in vain to bury them here."
At Jiuli Pass, Xiao Hao landed in the city gate silently, and blindfolded soldiers walked out one after another behind him.
"A good man should ride a horse and carry a sword, drink with the Tartars, and fight the clouds three thousand miles away with a golden sword." Huang Yaoshi's voice echoed in the night, but could not reach Xiao Hao's ears far away at Jiuli Pass.
They took off the black cloth on their eyes, and in this city gate that was once very familiar, the fighting spirit and blood in their chests burned, and it was difficult to suppress it.
"Wrapped in horsehide, covered in blood, guarding one side of the world, and resisting the flames of war."
Xiao Hao raised the Mo Dao in his hand and shouted to the team: "Follow me to take back our old land and glory!"
In response to him, there was a neat and orderly array of raised Mo Daos, a black mass, and the blades shone with a cold light in the moonlight.
"Guanying is good, I chose a good place for you." Huang Yaoshi touched Lu Wuhuan's head, and his expression could not be seen behind the mask. "If it comes to life and death in the future, you will be buried in the history like the third brother."
Lu Wuhuan nodded ignorantly.
The moon shines on the mountains, but it cannot shine on the three thousand brocade flowers in Lin'an, but only on the black armor and iron clothes, and the red blood and loyalty.
