Chapter 280: All children like candied haws, right?
"He...he is also my apprentice."
After hearing Zhou Wu's words, Chen Xun came to Xiao Qiubao and stretched out his hand to stroke the surface of the rusty sword stuck in front of Xiao Qiubao.
The rough texture clearly shows that this rusty sword has gone through countless years.
"Disciple?!" Zhou Wu was surprised.
"So this person named Xu Wu is my senior brother!?"
"Oh~ Can you say that?"
When Chen Xun heard Zhou Wu's answer, he couldn't help but be amused and chuckled.
"Zhou Shuren called Lu Xun 'Master'?"
Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on Chen Xun's lips. These two people can be said to have met across time and space, right?
If Zhou Wu knew that the person inside was his previous life, I wonder what expression he would have.
Just thinking about it, Chen Xun felt that the scene would be very interesting.
"Master."
"Ok?"
"Can I ask you, Master Brother, when did he pass away?"
Zhou Wu looked at the grave mound in front of him and asked calmly.
I don’t know why... Now he feels an inexplicable surge of uncontrollable emotions in his heart.
That emotion seemed to be anger.
Chen Xun's tone calmed down when he heard this question. He withdrew his hand, looked at the young man beside him, and said calmly, "When? Probably over four hundred years ago..."
"Whenever I have time, I will come here to take care of it."
"His death is more or less related to me, and he was kind to me (he was willing to show kindness to a stranger like him, and Uncle Xu). If... forget it, it's nothing."
Chen Xun felt guilty towards him, but he did not say it in front of Zhou Wu.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Zhou Wu always felt that his master was talking to him.
This left him confused for a moment, and he just thought he was overthinking it.
Zhou Wu was shocked when he heard that this senior brother had passed away more than four hundred years ago.
If you calculate it this way.
Hasn’t Master lived for at least four hundred years?
But Master is a human being, yet he has lived for over four hundred years. There must be some secret that he doesn't know about.
But Zhou Wu didn't want to get to the bottom of it.
If the master allows it, he will naturally tell him, and he just needs to keep quiet.
"Then Master...my sister..."
Zhou Wu came back to his senses and thought of what his master said about finding a Feng Shui-good place for his sister's burial. He then turned to ask Chen Xun.
"That's right...bury him at the spot pointed out by your senior brother."
Chen Xun nodded.
Zhou Wu did not ask his master why he buried his sister here, because he felt that there was no need for his master to lie to him.
There is no need to go to so much trouble to fool yourself.
After a while, a brand new small mound appeared behind the old mound.
Chen Xun stopped what he was doing and walked to the center of each small mound under Zhou Wu's gaze.
As Chen Xun waved his hand, two black stone tablets of the same size flew out from the storage bag on his waist and flew in front of the two graves.
"Zhou Wu."
After doing all this, Chen Xun shouted in the direction of Zhou Wu.
"Master, I'm here!"
Zhou Wu responded immediately, but his expression was a little confused.
He didn't know why his master suddenly called him, but he responded without any hesitation.
"Go help your senior brother weed."
Chen Xun yawned, pointed to the location of Xu Wu's grave and said to Zhou Wu.
"Ah? But... can I pull the grass from the grave?"
Although he had no education in this area, Zhou Wu vaguely felt that pulling out the grass on his senior brother's grave seemed a bit unlucky and disrespectful to the deceased.
"Sure...it's not a big deal. It's just for aesthetics. The uneven weeds growing on it are almost completely covering the grave mound."
As Chen Xun spoke, he used his spiritual energy to carve words on the stone tablet.
Zhou Wu couldn't quite understand it. It was such a densely packed string that it was dizzying.
Zhou Wu even felt his head swelling and dizzy, but he could still see the words at the top clearly.
That’s the name of the eldest brother…Xu Wu.
"Don't look around! Be careful or your soul will wander off."
Just when Zhou Wu fell into a dazed state, Chen Xun's voice suddenly came, immediately waking him up from his confused state.
Zhou Wu was startled when he woke up. After waking up, he tried hard to recall the feeling just now and couldn't help muttering: "What happened to me just now?"
Chen Xun did not explain much about this. After carving Xu Wu's, he turned around and started carving Zhou Wu's sister's.
Zhou Wu was smart. Although he didn't know what happened to him just now, he still listened to his master and turned around without looking.
He knew in his heart that the feeling that his soul was being sucked away was caused by the stone tablet.
But Zhou Wu did not ask out of curiosity, but reached out to pull out the weed-covered grave of his senior brother.
After some time.
"It's done, you can watch it now."
As soon as Chen Xun finished speaking, Zhou Wu had just finished pulling out the weeds on Xu Wu's grave.
Zhou Wu brushed off the dirt on his body and walked to Chen Xun.
Siyue also came back from her walk at this time, trotted to Zhou Wu's feet, and rubbed Zhou Wu's calves like a spoiled child.
Seeing this, Zhou Wu smiled helplessly, reached out and held Siyue in his arms and touched Siyue's little head.
This time, Zhou Wu looked at the stone tablet standing in front of the two grave mounds again, and the dizzy feeling was gone.
He raised his brows and once again felt the magic of his master's methods.
The writing on the stone tablet in front of his sister's small grave is very beautiful. It can be seen that the master put a lot of thought into it. Zhou Wu saw it all.
He felt that he was extremely lucky to have met his master in this life. Similarly, meeting his master was also the greatest blessing in his life.
Seeing Zhou Wu laughing until he burst into laughter, Chen Xun looked at him strangely, not knowing what was wrong with him all of a sudden.
However, when he saw the smile on the other person's lips, Chen Xun immediately felt relieved. At least the little guy was in a good mood now, and there was no need to worry about his mental health.
This relationship with Xu Wu has come to an end, and the current relationship is a new beginning...
Thinking of this, Chen Xun turned around and looked at the thin Zhou Wu and asked him again: "Is there anything else you want to say to your sister?"
When Zhou Wu heard his master's question, the smile on his face faded. He took a deep breath and then slowly shook his head.
"No... I won't cry anymore now. As for my sister, she doesn't want to see me cry, right?"
Chen Xun stared at Zhou Wu silently for a long time, and after confirming that the other party was serious, he did not force it.
He reached into his storage bag and rummaged around, finally pulling out a bright red, tempting candied haws and inserting it in front of Xu Wu's grave.
When he first entered Floating Cloud City, he noticed that the little guy Xu Wu's eyes were occasionally looking at the candied haws sold on the street.
For him who has never tasted modern sweets, candied haws were probably the favorite snack for every child in that era, right?
"Um... Master, can you give me one?"
As soon as Chen Xun stood up, he heard Zhou Wu's slightly nervous voice coming from beside him. Turning around, he found that Zhou Wu looked a little shy, and he seemed to be feeling very embarrassed.
"No problem... and yes, it's delicious. Do you want one?"
"Okay...okay?"
......
Tushan.
Chen Xun was followed by Zhou Wu, and they stopped by the moat of Tushan and looked at Tushan which was protected by the moat.
It was not until he arrived near Tushan that Zhou Wu truly saw the giant bitter tree on Tushan. It was so magnificent.
Zhou Wu looked at the bitter love tree that almost covered half of Tushan Mountain. At that moment, he realized how insignificant he was.
Feeling the terrifying demonic power that the Bitter Love Tree unintentionally emitted, Zhou Wu became more determined to become stronger.
"Don't look at it anymore. There'll be plenty of time to watch it later. Let's go."
Looking at Zhou Wu's longing expression, Chen Xun chuckled and shook his head, then reached out and pressed Zhou Wu's head and rubbed it hard.
A piece of information was secretly transmitted into Zhou Wu's mind through Chen Xun's fingertips. Zhou Wu couldn't help but tremble all over when he felt this information, and then looked at his master in surprise.
Just now, the master taught him a little trick to control the demonic power, and now it seems that the master wants him to use this little trick just passed on to him to reach the other side of the moat.
That is Tushan City Gate.
After carefully feeling the demonic power in his body, Zhou Wu looked up at the moat that was almost several hundred meters wide.
It is even a question whether he can reach the other side of the river with this little magical power.
"What? Are you scared?"
Chen Xun looked at Zhou Wu lost in thought and couldn't help but teasing him.
"Don't be afraid, I will try my best."
Zhou Wu shook his head, then looked at Chen Xun with a determined look and said.
If he even backed down from this, he would feel ashamed of his master for accepting him as his disciple.
"That's fine, Master has high hopes for you!"
Chen Xun smiled and clapped his hands at Zhou Wu, then walked towards the river under Zhou Wu's confused gaze.
He seemed to be standing on the river surface naturally.
If it weren't for the fact that ripples like a dragonfly skimming the water appeared wherever Chen Xun walked, Zhou Wu would have suspected that his master had flown directly over.
Because the master walked very fast, he didn't mean that his legs moved fast, but that every time the master took a step, the water surface would shrink a lot towards the master's position.
From a distance, it looked as if the water was 'carrying' the master forward.
Was I left here by my master?
Zhou Wu thought that his master would be waiting for him.
Looking at his master's back as he walked away, Zhou Wu was helpless. It was impossible for his master to stay with him forever, right?
The master also has his own things to do.
After taking a deep breath, he recalled what his master had done just now in his mind, activated the demonic power in his body, and stepped towards the surface of the water.
......
At the city gate, Tushan's Silver Fox guards had already discovered the two people who suddenly appeared on the other side of the moat.
When they saw a man who looked like an adult human being walking on the river as if it were flat ground, walking on the water towards the Tushan city gate.
The Silver Fox guards instantly became alert.
Several of the silver foxes looked at the human man walking on the water in the distance and actually wanted to go to Tushan alone.
They all became eager to try.
Prepare to climb down the city wall to stop the enemy.
When they were almost there, their captain suddenly spoke up to stop them.
"Stop! That person seems to be Tushan's third uncle!"
"Third uncle?"
"Is this true? That person is actually the Third Uncle?"
"It really is!"
"Why did Third Uncle walk? Doesn't he like flying? And with his ability to appear and disappear in and out of Tushan so elusive, why would he need to go through the city gate?"
"Don't be in a hurry, take a closer look first."
......
The Silver Fox guard stopped and took a closer look at the person who was coming, then withdrew his attack in time.
They couldn't help but feel scared, thinking that if they accidentally hurt the third uncle...
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but imagine the scene of the third in command holding the account book, standing in front of them with a smile, and deducting their wages one by one.
Just thinking about it made them feel cold all over and they couldn't help shivering.
This... is so scary...
(I feel like 3000 words per chapter is a bit boring. How about just 2000 words per chapter and two updates a day? That's it. I'll decide for myself. Anyway, there aren't many people around (??¤????w¤????)??)
