Xiao Wu returned to the Song capital and walked in the bustling streets and alleys of mortals. The Shui Qing Fairy followed him silently, but he hid his figure, and the cultivators below the refining void were unaware.

Ten days have passed since the great battle of the monks, and the lives of the mortals have returned to normal. Even walking down the street, it is rare to hear people talking about things some time ago.

Many cities in the south were slaughtered, which shook the government and the opposition and the entire Kaiyuan Star. But so what? People are listening to a distant legend, as if they have nothing to do with themselves.

Xiao Wu unconsciously walked to a cloth shop, and he had the impression that this cloth shop was the shop where he brought Zheng Wan to make clothes. He didn't feel a little in a trance, these mortal clothes were still on their bodies. The monks' magic weapons, magic weapons, and armor seemed to distinguish them from mortals. The long life span and powerful magic are like a chasm, so that monks and mortals do not interact with each other.

Xiao Wu stepped in, he pointed to a pale yellow cloth, and said softly, "Wrap this cloth for me and send it to Xiao University's Scholar's Mansion." So saying, he took out a piece of silver and placed it on the counter.

The cloth shop owner came to his senses at this time, looked at Xiao Wu, and hurriedly said, "The generalissimo is back?" and then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "The generalissimo is back!

The sound came from afar, and one after another people looked here, and more people cast eyes of approval, gratitude, or curiosity.

Xiao Wu has long lost the hot feeling on his face when he was looked at by others, and he looked at everyone with a smile. These neighbors were a little frightened at first, but then they moved forward in twos and threes, surrounding Xiao Wu in the center.

An old man suddenly bowed to Xiao Wu and saluted, "Generalissimo, I heard that there are bad people in the south who have done bad things, and you defeated him." ”

Another neighbor's aunt hurriedly retorted, "Not only that bad guy, this time it is said that there is an evil cultivator outside who wants to destroy Kaiyuan Star, and it was our generalissimo who defeated him." ”

An uncle suddenly asked with some concern, "Generalissimo, is the bad guy still coming?"

Everyone hurriedly asked him again, obviously the uncle's question made them feel offended by the generalissimo.

But Xiao Wu looked at everyone, obviously these mortals who could only hear some rumors, although these residents of the Imperial City who claimed to be inquired about in the capital did not know anything about it, they were really worried. That completely irresistible force makes them worry and fear.

Xiao Wu clasped his fists and waved at all the neighbors, and said with a confident smile, "It's all over, and no one will do anything to slaughter the city anymore." We, the monks of Kaiyuan Star, will protect the people of Kaiyuan Star. ”

"That's right! Scholar Xiao said that there is no need to worry if the monks are protecting you. Someone shouted first.

Everyone began to ask about Xiao Wu's battle again, Xiao Wu was not good at this kind of communication, so he had to answer a few words simply. The owner of the cloth shop hurriedly came out to persuade everyone to disperse, only saying that the generalissimo still had to cultivate, so don't disturb everyone.

When everyone dispersed, the owner of the cloth shop said apologetically, "Generalissimo, you forgive your sins, and the little old man shouted out in excitement for a while." In fact, over the years, our Great Song Dynasty has listened to your story and lived. ”

Xiao Wu shook his head with a wry smile and asked, "More than a dozen cities in the south were slaughtered, and everyone was obviously afraid, but why did it seem as if nothing had happened?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Generalissimo, what are you talking about, how can everyone really act like nothing happened? But what's the use of being afraid?" He made a pot of tea for Xiao Wu and invited Xiao Wu to sit at the table by the counter.

"We little people, not to mention immortals like you, even if there is a eunuch in the palace one day, we are powerless to resist and let others slaughter us. He poured tea for Xiao Wu.

"Are there still eunuchs who deceive people?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Since our Great Song Dynasty changed the court, not to mention the eunuchs, the officials are kinder than before, and everyone is better at studying Xiao University. The shopkeeper said.

Xiao Wu didn't reply, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, there was no aura, but there was a sweetness in bitterness.

"Little Lao'er is just an analogy. Palace officials and gentry, scoundrels, little old man opens a cloth shop, which way of the gods can't clean up my small business?" Although the shopkeeper said bleakly, Xiao Wu could hear it, he was just sighing, "The way for our small people to survive is to be grateful when we encounter good things, and to endure bad things." Life will always pass, as long as you survive, there is hope. ”

"If you survive, there is hope?" Xiao Wu looked at this ordinary old man, decades of time had made him shrewd, but more of a person who had seen through the world.

"As you said, I'm afraid of slaughtering the city again, but what if I'm afraid? Live one day, and live a good life. We can't do those big things, and it's useless to think about them. The old man poured tea for Xiao Wu again, but the conversation changed, "But my son joined the Youth Army some time ago, and what I told him is different from this." I told him that if you want to learn your skills well, it is rare for the people of the Great Song Dynasty to live a good life, and you can't be cowardly when you need him. ”

In the Youth Army, Xiao Wu seemed to see Zhao Tian and his companions, and saw the youthful but brave faces when he went out for the first time. Their power is minimal, but these people are willing to guard what they can.

The Chu army came to attack, and its own army to deal with it. When the monk comes to commit an offense, naturally there are monks to solve it. And what if the immortals come to commit it? Naturally, it will be dealt with by those of them who are standing in front!

When the shopkeeper poured the tea again, he looked up, only to find that Generalissimo Xiao had disappeared.

Xiao Wu didn't choose to go home directly because he wasn't ready yet, or he didn't have a decision in his heart. Li Laopi's words made him very concerned, would he bring disaster to Kaiyuan Xing? Will Kaiyuan Star become a bargaining chip for immortals to capture him? And when he saw the lives of these mortals, he suddenly understood that everyone only does what they do, but if it is what they do, someone must always do it.

Xiao Wu stood in front of the door of the Xiao Mansion, it was still the mansion, it was still the familiar door, but he had a decision. Knocking lightly on the door of the mansion, a strange doorman walked out, but as soon as he saw Xiao Wu, he shouted and ran in.

Xiao Wu smiled and walked in. Zhang Lanying heard Menzi's shout, and hurriedly walked to the door, her tears swirling in her eyes, but they didn't flow out in the end.

Xiao Wu stood in the courtyard, as if he had traveled through the ages, looking at the woman who obviously had a lot of wind and frost in the corners of his eyes, he called softly, but as if he was saying goodbye.

He said, "Mom, I'm back." ”
