~9 min read 1,715 words

"Walking on the country path, the old ox returning at dusk is my companion, the blue sky matches a cloud of sunset in my chest, the colorful clouds are the clothes of the evening glow..."

Humming a brisk old song, Zhang Xingyu stepped onto the path in the sea of mist again.

Humming the little tune ninety-nine times, ninety-nine paths appeared, the exit of the maze was in front of him, and Zhang Xingyu couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Just at this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the array.

"Brother Hu Si, no matter if Brother Xingyu is still alive, I must find him."

"Hmm. See the person if alive, see the corpse if dead."

Brother Hu Si? Little Fatty Zhu?

Zhang Xingyu was overjoyed in his heart.

While walking forward quickly, he shouted at the outside of the array: "Brother Hu Si, Little Fatty Zhu."

At this moment, at the entrance of the maze, stood two people, one tall and one short, who were exactly Zhu Dafu and Hu Siping.

Hearing Zhang Xingyu's shout, both of them were stunned on the spot.

A moment later, the two came back to their senses and looked at each other with full faces of doubt.

Hu Siping: "Dafu, I seem to have heard Xingyu's voice?"

Zhu Dafu nodded: "Me too."

"Xingyu (Brother Xingyu), is that you?" The two shouted loudly into the array at the same time.

"It's me, I am Zhang Xingyu." Zhang Xingyu replied while rushing out of the maze.

"Xingyu? Is it really you?" Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Hu Siping couldn't believe his eyes.

Zhang Xingyu ran up and gave them a bear hug: "It's really me, genuine and authentic."

"Brother Xingyu, you didn't die? Am I dreaming?" Zhu Dafu, who had always been articulate, became stuttering and incoherent at this moment.

Zhang Xingyu teased him: "Of course you're dreaming. I died long ago, died miserably. If you don't believe it, pinch yourself and try?"

A moment later.

"Ah!"

A pig-slaughtering scream rang out in the ears of the three.

Zhu Dafu pinched his thigh hard.

"So painful! This is not a dream. Brother Xingyu, you lied to me, you are still alive. Great, great..." Zhu Dafu couldn't care about rubbing his bruised thigh, holding Zhang Xingyu's hand and muttering non-stop.

The three reunited, all standing on the spot laughing foolishly.

After a while, the three found a stone to sit down and chatted about what happened after they parted these two days.

Afraid that the two would be anxious, Zhang Xingyu briefly introduced his encounter.

He only said that he was swept into the cave by the Nine Nether Yin Qi, then escaped with the help of the Nine Nether Yin Qi, and was finally rescued by Fairy Yunxi.

As for the ghosts in the cave and the cultivation, it was really a bit weird and bizarre, and it was not convenient to explain to the two of them, so he skipped it.

After listening to Zhang Xingyu's introduction, Zhu Dafu was very self-blaming: "Brother Xingyu, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been swept away by the Nine Nether Yin Qi and almost lost your life."

Zhang Xingyu patted his shoulder: "It's okay. Aren't I fine? However, you are a bit too fat, you should eat less and move more in the future, and lose weight appropriately."

Zhu Dafu hurriedly nodded and agreed.

Although for a foodie, losing weight is a very painful thing, but thinking of the day before yesterday, he wished he could lose dozens of pounds immediately.

Seeing that he actually agreed to lose weight, Zhang Xingyu laughed.

He patted Zhu Dafu's shoulder: "Little Fatty Zhu, losing weight is not an easy thing, you don't have to be in a hurry."

Zhu Dafu nodded like a garlic masher. Since Brother Idol said there is no need to be in a hurry, then don't lose it for now.

"By the way, where is Brother Jin? Did he send the Ghost Face Flower back?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"Brother-in-law went back to the city to send the Ghost Face Flower. Brother Xingyu, ever since you were swept away by the black mist, we were all worried to death. We discussed it, and my brother-in-law would send the Ghost Face Flower back to save my sister first, and Brother Hu Si and I would stay to find you. During the day, we would go in, and come out in the evening. However, the two of us searched for two days, searched the entire canyon, but couldn't find you. Brother Hu Si was so anxious that he didn't eat for two days, and his hair had turned white."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingyu turned his head to look at Hu Siping, and sure enough, he found a few silver strands at his temples.

An inexplicable emotion surged into his heart, and Zhang Xingyu's eyes became moist all of a sudden.

"Brother Si..." Zhang Xingyu stared blankly at Hu Siping's temples, thousands of words surged in his heart, but somehow he couldn't say a single word.

Hu Siping patted his shoulder: "Don't listen to Dafu's nonsense. As long as you are alive, everything is fine."

Zhang Xingyu nodded hard.

After traveling to this world, he once felt that he was just a passerby and would leave silently sooner or later.

However, today, he deeply felt that there were still some things in this world worth cherishing.

That is friends, that is brothers.

"Fatty, let me tell you. I was very lucky today. On the cliff top, I carefully admired Fairy Yunxi for an hour, satisfying my eyes. Later, I rode the same flying sword as Fairy Yunxi, the distance between us was only 0.01 centimeters, that is, skin almost touching skin..." Zhang Xingyu talked endlessly to Zhu Dafu about being with Fairy Yunxi.

The little fatty yawned while listening.

Although Zhang Xingyu was talking about his favorite Fairy Yunxi, for some reason he couldn't get any energy.

"Brother Xingyu, you are really awesome. My admiration for you is like the surging river, continuous, and like..." The little fatty's flattery hadn't finished yet, and he fell to the ground and started snoring loudly.

Beside him, Hu Siping had already closed his eyes, snoring like thunder.

Zhang Xingyu smiled and stood up.

It's good to have brothers, he thought.

In the sky, a purple sword light flew over.

Tang Yunxi stood on the flying sword and muttered to herself.

"That lecher, although glib, I shouldn't have left him alone inside. He is a mortal, if he is trapped in the array, he will be starved to death."

At the entrance of the maze, Zhang Xingyu saw Tang Yunxi on the purple sword light from afar.

He waved his hand hard and shouted loudly: "Fairy Yunxi, I am here, I am here."

The flying sword arrived in front of the maze, and Tang Yunxi stopped the sword light.

"Eh, isn't the person waving below that lecher? Strange, he actually walked out by himself?"

"Fairy Yunxi, did you come back to find me?" Zhang Xingyu cupped his hands into a trumpet and shouted loudly at her.

"Lecher, who wants to find you?" Tang Yunxi glared at Zhang Xingyu fiercely.

Her sword light turned and flew into the distance again, and disappeared at the end of the world a moment later.

Looking at the departing back, Zhang Xingyu thought: This girl, her heart is really good. If there is a chance in the future, I must thank her properly.

Sunset, the setting sun is like blood.

Hu Siping and Zhu Dafu, who had been sleeping for most of the day, finally woke up.

Zhu Dafu stretched, twisted his neck, and said: "Haven't slept for two days, this sleep, it's really comfortable!"

Zhang Xingyu stepped forward and kicked him: "Alright, alright, since you've slept well, let's go back quickly. If we don't leave, it will be dark. In this wild mountain and ridge place, we can't eat or live well, if we encounter any monsters, ghosts, tigers, leopards, or wolves, then we will be in trouble."

As soon as his voice fell, a thunder-like sound rang in his ears: "Haha, there are actually three people here. I haven't caught one today, just right to catch the three of you to hand in the task."

The three followed the sound and found that at some point, a burly masked man appeared on the mountain road ahead.

The masked man was wearing a brown short shirt, covering his face with a piece of rag, and holding a rusty firewood knife in his hand.

This mountain bandit blocking the road is a bit interesting.

The three looked at each other and smiled, reaching out to pull out the magic weapons on their backs.

"Three boys, don't resist. Otherwise, I will cut you into four pieces one by one." The masked man shouted at the three when he saw this.

Zhang Xingyu pouted: "Was your arithmetic taught by a physical education teacher? There are three of us here, one by one, it should be cut into six pieces."

The masked man was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head embarrassedly: "Right, it is to cut you into six pieces."

"Pfft!"

Zhu Dafu and Hu Siping couldn't help it anymore, holding their stomachs and laughing back and forth.

This masked man has a problem with his brain, he is probably a big fool.

"What are you laughing at? Laugh again, and I'll start cutting," the masked man shouted, his voice full of urgency.

Zhang Xingyu held back his laughter. He touched his smooth chin and asked in an old-fashioned voice: "You stupid ox, there are three of us, and you are alone, do you think you can fight three?"

The masked man was stunned, and scratched his head again: "My Tie Niu has great strength, I can knock one of you down with one punch."

After talking, confirming the eyes, this robber is a stupid ox.

If he doesn't knock him down, he will really be relentless.

Zhang Xingyu secretly gave a wink to Hu Siping and Little Fatty.

The three moved apart without changing their expressions, and finally stood in a triangle.
