Because unexpected waves at sea hindered the voyage, the passenger ship arrived at Nanji Port a full day and a half later than scheduled.

But no matter what, Yu Shiqi and Wei Qiutong breathed a sigh of joy when they finally arrived at the port safely. Xu Jingkong was naturally responsible for this, and they sincerely thanked him after getting off the boat.

But Xu Jingkong waved his hand and said modestly that what he had done was not worth mentioning, and then he asked the remaining seventeen and two others about their plans.

"Feng Jiazheng has been captured in the previous round. There is no need for Yunzhongjian to stay in Nanzhou. We will return to the villa to report to the sect leader." As soon as Yu Shiqi arrived at the port, he received a message left for him by his master's wife.

I got the news that Yunzhongjian has left Guling.

"I want to visit the Desolate Sect. Is it convenient at this time?" Xu Jingkong asked with a smile.

Yu Shiqi readily agreed: "Although the Desolate Sect still has important tasks to complete, if Mr. Xu intends to be a guest, I don't think the sect leaders will refuse."

"I heard that the Desolate Sect is all chivalrous warriors. Wouldn't it be too abrupt for a mystic like me to visit rashly?" Xu Jingkong said as if he was worried.

"I can lead the way for you, sir." Yu Shiqi agreed, "The Desolate Sect has no prejudice against mystics, sir, you can rest assured."

When Wei Qiutong heard this, he poked Yu Shiqi with his elbow and asked jokingly: "Are you talking like the sect master?"

Yu Shiqi blushed and whispered to her to stop talking nonsense.

Xu Jingkong discussed with the two disciples for a while, and finally decided to follow Yu Shiqi to Yuezhou to visit the Deserted Villa.

Before leaving, he called out to Yu Shiqi who was in front of him and said, "Young Master Yu, there is something I should probably let you know."

Yu Shiqi, who was choosing a rental car at the port with Wei Qiutong, turned around when he heard this and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

Xu Jingkong was silent for a moment and said: "When we were at sea, Shaoxia Yu once came to ask me if I had used secret techniques on ships. I didn't answer you directly at that time."

Wei Qiutong, who was originally bargaining with the hired driver, turned around in surprise when he heard these words. The look on his face was as dazed, shocked and unprepared as Yu Shiqi's.

"I did use secret techniques to affect the dreams you two had at that time."

"Why..." Yu Shiqi and Wei Qiutong both felt unbelievable. They had already felt that they were too preoccupied at that time and that the dream that happened at the same time was just a coincidence.

Xu Jingkong calmly explained: "The original intention was to let you two sleep until the storm is over, so that I can concentrate on protecting the ship. Unexpectedly, both of you have extraordinary aspirations and woke up from the dream I constructed with my secret skills.

come over."

"So you later asked Zhong Yu to come down and watch me to prevent me from affecting your work?"

"good."

Yu Shiqi was a little displeased: "Why didn't you tell me directly at that time?"

Xu Jingkong smiled and did not answer. At the same time, he raised his hand to stop Zhong Yu and Yuan Sheng who wanted to speak for him.

Yu Shiqi asked again: "What does the dream that Mr. Xu gave us two mean?"

Wei Qiutong also wanted to know the answer to this question and stared at Xu Jingkong with wide eyes.

Xu Jingkong was silent for a moment, then slowly responded: "I did not create the dream. I don't know what exactly you two saw in your dream. I only know that you should have seen several different possibilities."

Yu Shiqi and Wei Qiutong exchanged glances, and finally both of them accepted Xu Jingkong's explanation.

Wei Qiutong took the lead to ignore the matter and went back to discuss the itinerary and price with the driver. Yu Shiqi asked Xu Jingkong a question after pondering for a while.

"Have you not considered that if I drew my sword and activated the spirit control technique at that time, it might put the ship in danger?"

"In that case, we'll just leave it to fate." Xu Jingkong said.

"You want to risk the safety of everyone on the ship on whether I trust you?" Yu Shiqi shook his head, "I didn't realize you were such a crazy gambler."

"If I wasn't a gambler, why would I have stayed in Jingxuan's casino for so long?" Xu Jingkong said lightly.

"If there is a chance, I would like to hear from you, sir, about what you experienced in Yunlu before you learned the secret technique."

"There's nothing worth mentioning, it's just..." Xu Jingkong smiled and said, "It's all over."

The group then hired two carriages to go to the northern part of Nanzhou, and then transferred to a canal ship to reach Yuezhou. After arriving at Yunting Town, they changed horses and entered the mountains. Neither Xu Jingkong nor his two disciples were used to riding horses, so the final

The walk was quite slow for a while. After entering the mountains, hiking became easier than riding a horse. The Zhenwu Mountains in Yuezhou are known as the Key to the Ten Miles. The peaks are connected by simple ropeway trestles. Many of the sections are extremely dangerous and dangerous.

Yunzhongjian, who is riding a well-trained military horse, will also choose to lead the horse on foot.

"I didn't expect that Desolate Villa was built in such a remote place and that the road into the mountain is so difficult." Xu Jingkong said with emotion, holding on to the rope railing of the rope bridge and looking at the mountains in the distance.

"The road from the south to Yun Ting Town is really difficult to walk. We usually go north when going in and out, and take the ancient leaf road in front of the mountain gate of Hanlin Temple." Yu Shiqi explained to him, "It's just that we came from Nanzhou.

If you want to take the north road into the mountain, you have to go around a long way, which is even more time-consuming."

Wei Qiutong echoed: "No wonder, when my junior sister and I came from the north last time, we didn't see the dangerous peaks and dangerous roads in the southern section."

"You crossed the river from Jinkou, Huaizhou, right." A map appeared in Yu Shiqi's mind. Comparing the locations of Xuannv Sect and Huangwu Sect, he quickly guessed where Wei Qiutong and Liu Chengfeng were coming.

route.

"Yes." Wei Qiutong replied without hesitation.

"The road over there is wide and flat. Yunzhongjian usually walks that way when entering and leaving the villa."

Xu Jingkong made no secret of his admiration: "It is an eye-opener for us that the southeastern region can have such amazing mountain scenery."

"Really?" Yu Shiqi didn't think there was anything extraordinary about this. "Maybe it's because I've become accustomed to seeing these mountains over the years, and I don't think these mountains are so special. If Mr.

You can see enough of Huang Zhi Xing.”

Xu Jingkong originally came to Chenlin this time with the intention of going to the Western Wasteland to explore the cave that Yu Shiqi mentioned. However, he was also curious about the Desolate Sect and was planning to set off to the west after seeing the Desolate Villa. At this time, he was leisurely

He replied: "That's exactly what I meant."

"If I can quell the ten evils within this year and restore peace to the world, maybe I can meet Mr. Xu again in the West Wasteland in the future." The outline of the villa can be seen in front of him, and Yu Shiqi is in a happy mood.

"The sky is like a man's wish, but he is afraid that haste will lead to waste. The world is changing, but he still hopes to be unyielding in adversity, and not to be arrogant in good times." Xu Jingkong's eyes were distant, as if he had anticipated the hardships ahead.

"Be taught." Yu Shiqi calmed down and reflected that he had been delayed for a long time on his way back and forth to Xizhou Island. At this time, he didn't know how the Yunzhong Sword was progressing. What he said just now was indeed a bit arrogant.

On the bank of Lianhu Lake in Back Mountain, Yu Youci carefully pushed a chair with wooden wheels to the pavilion. The person sitting on the chair had his eyes covered with black cloth, and his long hair hung down on his shoulders.

"Are you at the lakeside?" she asked Yu Youci who was pushing her.

"Yes, there is Hanlin Temple opposite, and there is no bell ringing right now... Sister An, can you see it?" Yu Youci asked in surprise.

An Nianjiu stood up slowly with her hands on the armrests of the chair. Yu Youci quickly took her hand and led her to the guardrail of the pavilion.

"The wind in front of you has the smell of lake water." An Nianjiu replied with a chuckle.

"Eh? Where is it?" Yu Youci sniffed carefully, but there was nothing in the wind.

An Nianjiu didn't explain. He raised his left hand and stretched it forward, opened his five fingers and made a fist into the air. Then he slightly retracted his elbow and punched out suddenly.

The burst of force formed a crisp sound in the air. Yu Youci was startled and said worriedly: "Sister An, what are you doing? Didn't the sect masters let you rest in peace?"
