This change in Fuyao was unexpected to Xu Yan. He originally thought that his sword was going to be completely ruined by his own tricks.

So, Xu Yan, who felt a sense of life after the disaster, tried to control Fuyao after seeing that Fuyao stopped changing, and then he magically discovered that he only needed to summon him in his mind, so that he could move his mind at will and feel his summons.

When Xu Yan was practicing "Sword Control" before, if he wanted to control Fuyao against the enemy, he could only rely on the magic tricks and generate a mysterious aura between each other as a pull to succeed. Although this sword control method is quite mysterious and extraordinary, when he was controlling the sword, he had to pinch the seal and focus all his attention on this method. Therefore, this process is actually a bit complicated and disadvantageous. For example, when he was fighting in close combat, he often couldn't pull out to control Fuyao, and could only use close sword moves or martial arts techniques to replace the sword control technique.

However, after Fuyao successfully recognized his master, this embarrassing situation was finally solved, and Xu Yan no longer had to worry. He still needed to use complicated hand-pinning to fight the enemy when he was fighting the sword against the enemy, and to keep a distance from the enemy in advance.

Fu Yao, who floated in front of him, whose hilt was still the same but whose sword body had changed drastically, held it again in the palm of his hand, and Xu Yan was shocked all over. At this moment, when he really touched the other party, he felt that there was indeed an indescribable sense of mystery between him and him than before, as if it had become a part of him from now on.

Xu Yan placed Fu Yao horizontally on his legs, holding Ye Mingzhu in one hand, and gently stroked it with the other hand, which had turned into a scarlet sword body. Only then did he realize that there were actually quite complex patterns on the blood-filled sword body, which made it look even more ferocious and terrifying, full of murderous aura.

"If you don't look at the hilt of the sword, I guess no one in this world will recognize you. You are the famous sword that has become famous all over the world before, right?" Xu Yan's face was still bloodless, but his eyes were particularly gentle, and he said with a chuckling.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath before his mind moved slightly.

Fu Yao felt his summons, so he slowly floated up from his legs, then hovered in the air for two circles, like a butterfly dancing. In this process, he saw that its sword body, which was originally three feet long, quickly shrank in a moment, and in the blink of an eye, was only the size of a finger.

The reason why "Sword Raising" is called this name is naturally focused on the word "Sword Raising". How can we achieve the sword Raising?

Before, Xu Yan had seen two people know "Sword Raising" with their own eyes. One was Bai Bing, whose real name was Fei Jian; and the other was naturally the cardinal who had given the Sword Sutra to him now, but the two sisters, without exception, both of them took their swords into their Qi Mansion and slowly nourished them.

After Fuyao turned into the size of a finger, it no longer looked as full of murderous aura as before. However, because it was blood-red all over, it looked different from ordinary flying swords. Fortunately, Xu Yan, as its owner, did not have to be afraid of its temperament. Moreover, at the beginning, Fuyao himself chose to fly to him from the sword pool with thousands of flying swords.

Xu Yan slowly opened his eyes, and his extremely deep eyes were staring at Fu Yao, and then he gently spit out a word from his mouth, "swallowing".

Fu Yao felt Xu Yan's will and instantly turned into a stream of light, shooting straight towards his eyebrows. Then, it seemed as if it had penetrated into an invisible wall and disappeared from the latter's eyebrows. And the next moment, it came to one of Xu Yan's two Qi Mansions with hearts and quietly suspended in it, just like a swallow returning to its nest.

...

Wait until dawn.

Xu Yan, who had been adjusting his breath for about two hours, finally recovered a lot of his complexion, but it can still be seen that his spirit today is still significantly worse than before.

A heart injury, even a little bit, is a very serious injury, because this is the root of human beings after all.

With his current martial arts cultivation, Xu Yan has not yet opened up a hole in his body, so he is naturally far from that kind of golden body. As for the state of rebirth of broken limbs and dead trees in spring, it is even more distant.

After hearing the noise from outside, Xu Yan began to pack his bags. After tightening everything, he lifted a corner of the tent and looked at the sky. Seeing that there was still a slight rain in the sky, he could only take out a huge bamboo hat from the storage bag and put it on his head, and then he got out of his tent.

It didn't take much time. Xu Yanjia was very familiar with the tent that was very huge when he opened it, but after putting it away, it was disassembled and retracted it into his storage bag. At this time, almost ten people who were traveling with him were ready.

Without any indication, everyone gathered to the pavilion at the Sichakou, and each took out the dry food and ate it briefly, and then began to rush along one of the forks.

As we all know, as long as it rains, the mountain roads will become very difficult, let alone when going down the mountain. The soil in Lingzhou is mostly dominated by loess. Therefore, when Xu Yan and others walked on the yellow mud road soaked by rain, they couldn't help but feel that the mountain roads under their feet became particularly slippery. Fortunately, they are already practitioners with quite good cultivation, and they are naturally much easier than ordinary people in the market.

But it was easy and relaxed. When they completely walked out of the mountainous area and arrived at the foot of the last mountain, it took about three hours.

It was almost the afternoon of that day.

After Xu Yan and others walked out of the mountains and rivers, they finally arrived at the relatively flat stream.

This place continues to go north along the stream, and a further twenty miles away, you can successfully reach Songyang Town. However, after they have a short rest by the stream and have a brief lunch, Zeng Yuesong, one of the ten people, stood up and said goodbye to everyone for a while.

Xu Yan and others said goodbye to him one by one, without any surprise. After all, when they discussed in advance, they had already learned that Zeng Yuesong's hometown was a place called "Luoyang Town" south of the Lotus Sect. Now that he had already left the mountain, it was a good time to go south along the stream.

Seeing Zeng Yuesong's figure slowly disappearing in the sight of the rain and mist intersecting, Xu Yan and others did not feel much thought. The departure in front of them was only temporary, and at the latest they would gather together again by the end of the year.

So, after Zeng Yuesong left, Xu Yan and others did not stay here for too long, and then continued north along the stream.

Today, Xu Yan was walking at the last step of the team, anyway, he was not traveling in the mountains, and the road conditions and terrain were not complicated, so he naturally had no need to be the leader. Instead, he followed the team while enjoying the scenery in the rain, which made Xu Yan feel quite quiet and comfortable.

In fact, Chen Qinghe discovered Xu Yan's abnormality when he set out early in the morning. This abnormality was not about his walking order, but about his complexion. It was just that when he was rushing in the mountains, most of the roads under his feet were narrow and winding, which made Chen Qinghe not very distracted, so he never had the opportunity to ask or care for Xu Yan. After the terrain is flat and the road conditions have improved, Chen Qinghe found an opportunity.

Chen Qinghe invisibly slowed down and soon arrived at the end of the team. He asked Xu Yan bluntly: "My junior brother's face is so bad today, but what are the physical discomforts?"

When Xu Yan heard his inquiry, he just smiled and replied, "Oh, there is no discomfort. It's just that the thunderstorm was too noisy last night, which interrupted my original meditation. I thought the thunder would come again, but in the second half of the night, I simply stopped practicing. Maybe it was because I didn't sleep all night, which led to some lack of rest, which made the elder brother care about it."

Chen Qinghe naturally didn't believe this statement. After all, the other party was an extremely powerful martial arts practitioner. Not to mention not sleeping all night, even if he stayed up all week, he would not have such a pale face. But since the other party was unwilling to speak out, he would no longer bother. Who hasn't had a secret yet?

So, Chen Qinghe nodded with a smile and replied, "So that's the case. The thunder sounded so loud last night was indeed deafening. I think everyone present should have been awakened at that time." Without waiting for Xu Yan to speak, Chen Qinghe changed the subject and said, "By the way, we are no longer far from Songyang Town now. It is estimated that we will be able to enter Songyang Town smoothly in about an hour. Therefore, we have to part with our junior brother for the time being."

Xu Yan nodded, then said again: "Senior brother, you probably don't plan to rest in the town, right?"

Chen Qinghe was not surprised that Xu Yan guessed their decision, but just nodded and replied: "Well, after all, I just took a break before, so I wouldn't be tired, so I came over to greet my senior brother."

Xu Yan replied with a smile: "Senior Brother is intent."

...

One hour later.

Sure enough, the group came to the periphery of Songyang Town, but even though they were still about one mile away from entering the town, they could clearly see the entire appearance of the town built between mountains and rivers.

Chen Qinghe and others did not enter this town called Songyang Town with Xu Yan, but turned to the small path on the west side to walk into the mountains at the fork in the road outside the town. After Chen Qinghe and others walked completely away, Qiao Mu, who was born in this town, sighed helplessly and said, "Senior Brother and the others are too anxious. I originally thought that I finally had this opportunity, at least let them stay at my house for a night and then go on a journey. Oh, it's really..."

Now that there are only three people left, Xu Yan smiled and shook his head, and replied, "Senior Brother and the others are eager to return home. Brother Qiao, you can only be more considerate. Okay, since they are all gone, then let's go into the city as well."

Hearing Xu Yan speak, Qiao Mu naturally immediately took back his mind and then smiled and said, "Although the eldest brother and the others are leaving, since the younger brother and senior sister Gu are going to pass through the town, they must go to my house to get a chance to get a job as a landlord. Otherwise, if my father knew that you were passing by my house and not entering, he would have to teach me a lesson."

When Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing heard this, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and then Xu Yan replied: "Senior Brother Qiao is so sincerely invited, so we should go and ask uncle, and then continue on our way."

Hearing Xu Yan's extremely readily agreeing, Qiao Mu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and took the initiative to lead the way forward. At the same time, he did not forget to tell Xu Yan and the others about the development trajectory of the town, the local customs and customs, etc., but what they didn't know was that just when they entered the city, there was a man in a straw raincoat and seemed to be doing farm work in the distance, watching them enter the city.

Xu Yan is very interested in these urban stories because they were all life that he did not have in that world. Now that he has chosen to be reborn in this world, he must have a sense of adapting to local customs. Another reason is that Qiao Mu doesn't seem to speak much in normal times, but he didn't expect that when he opened up the conversation, he was actually a kind of person who talked endlessly. In the process of his talk, even if it was just an ordinary little thing, he could often express things vividly by adding some humorous ways, which had the potential of a storyteller. Therefore, it was interesting to listen to his words along the way in the city, and even smiled and echoed a few words from time to time.

At this time, Xu Yan and the others had already walked into the city completely and came to Qiao Mu in the downtown area. He suddenly paused and then turned to Xu Yan and smiled and said, "Young brother, you don't know. Although our town has no special stories or experiences, it is not as prosperous as it is. Compared with other towns in Lingzhou, it is a bottom-notch, but there is one thing that we all have to be grateful for."

When Xu Yan heard this, he was attracted by interest and immediately asked with a smile: "Oh, why is this?"

Seeing that the other party was aroused, Qiao Mu did not hide it, and smiled and said bluntly: "Because the materials we usually need in the Lotus Sect must be purchased by the disciples of the sect. "

When Xu Yan heard this answer, he suddenly realized, but at the same time he was curious, "But is this far away from the sect? How hard it is. It took us a day and a half just to go down the mountain to get here. And those disciples from the sect had to pick up the purchased materials when they returned to the sect. Wouldn't it take four or five days to go back and forth?"

When Qiao Mu heard this question, he had done this chore, otherwise he would not have known so much. He immediately smiled bitterly and replied, "That's right, it's basically about five days to go back and forth, but there is nothing we can do. Songyang Town is the closest town to the sect, so people in the world always feel that we practitioners look glorious on the surface and are arrogant, but in fact they don't know that we are actually as hard as them, even even more than that."

After hearing this statement, Xu Yan guessed that the other party must have done this, so he immediately nodded and expressed his deep understanding.

Qiao Mu sighed and then continued to smile bitterly, "And it's okay to do these chores at the beginning. It can be regarded as a way of practicing to strengthen the body. But after I truly practiced to the third floor and was promoted to an external and internal disciple, I realized that when I reached this level of cultivation, I had to go to the mission pavilion to receive higher-level tasks. Alas, that's much more dangerous than when purchasing. I believe my junior brother has already empathized with this."

It had already explored the most dangerous area of ​​the Baishanzu and witnessed Xu Yan, who had personally circulated in the air with his own eyes, and naturally recognized Qiao Mu's words and replied in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Qiao's remarks are really accurate."

While talking, the three of them had been walking in the town for almost a quarter of an hour. At this time, Qiaomu, who was walking in the front, finally stopped and turned around and smiled and said to Xu Yan and the others: "My home is here, it's here."

Hearing Qiaomu's voice, Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing looked up at the place he said, and then found that it turned out to be a teahouse. The name was quite simple, and it was directly taken from the name of this town, called Songyang Teahouse.

Xu Yan asked with a smile: "Your house opens a teahouse?"

Qiao Mu shrugged and replied with a smile: "Yes, because my father is a tea planter, he sells tea and tea at the same time. But in fact, there are not many people drinking tea in the town. Most of the time, it is for the villagers and neighbors next door, and he doesn't charge any money for acquaintances. Especially on rainy days like today, the weather is not hot, so there are very few people who come to drink tea on their own initiative, but it doesn't matter. My father was born without desires and desires. As long as he likes, he can live whatever he wants."

After hearing such an interesting statement, Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing couldn't help laughing. After Xu Yan hesitated for a moment, he said, "I really want to see my uncle after hearing what you said."

Qiao Mu smiled heartily and said, "What's wrong with this? Junior Brother, Senior Sister Gu, come, please come in quickly."

Hearing Qiao Mu's invitation again, Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing no longer hesitated and immediately followed him into the teahouse called Songyang. However, as soon as Xu Yan stepped into the teahouse and saw clearly the middle-aged man sitting in front of the counter and dozing, the expression on his face was stunned.

...

In an inn not far from the teahouse.

Seeing that Xu Yan and the other two had entered the teahouse opposite, they were sitting in the eyes of the two men on a square table closest to the door of the inn, and a trace of sinister flashed through.

One of the men whispered to his companion: "Second brother, we have been waiting in the town for so long, and finally waited until they came. However, in terms of number of people, they seem to be different from the news we received before. Didn't that say that there will be ten people going north together this time?"
