Chapter 34: Farewell to the Southern Wilderness
In the small courtyard, Qiushui was in a daze.
"I don't know if my brother is safe, and I can't do anything. Xiao Wu, he wants to seek the Tao, and he has to find his parents, can I really stay?"
It's not the first time that Qiushui has experienced the pain of parting, but every time it's so hard and unbearable.
"Three years of joy in exchange for a lifetime of sorrow, even if you are willing, but how can I bear ......"
"Brother asked me to think clearly, is it better to have a long pain than a short pain?"
"But, I'm really reluctant......"
The heart of the autumn water is like a mess.
......
Shangguan Lie followed after all, but he didn't get closer, hanging far behind Xiao Wu.
After Xiao Wu left the City Lord's Mansion, someone was originally going to catch him, but Shangguan Lie in the distance only had one look, which made those who thought of him take in their hearts.
However, not everyone is afraid of Shangguan Lie. When he was about to leave the inner city gate, someone suddenly shot at Xiao Wu.
It was a gray shadow, which seemed to melt into the wind, silently approaching Xiao Wu, and suddenly stretched out a palm and headed towards Xiao Wu's cage.
"Get out!" Shangguan Lie roared angrily as he stepped forward.
After all, the gray clothes failed to succeed and slowed down Shangguan Lie.
Shangguan Lie's arrow was like a fly, and he punched the gray shadow's hand, forcing the figure out of the wind.
"I haven't spread my wings for ten years, and the eagle is still so fierce. The man said slowly.
Dressed in a gray robe, wearing a hat, and unable to see his face clearly, he stood sideways, carrying a long sword, standing at the city gate, blocking Xiao Wu and Shangguan Lie.
"Meng Changran, do you want to die?" Shangguan Lie was furious, raising his eyebrows.
The Shangguan family searched the ancient city in order to find Shangguan Qiushui, and everyone in the city knew it, so he stopped himself, and his intentions were self-evident.
"Haha, Shangguan Lie, you are still so conceited. ”
Shangguan Lie stopped talking, turned one hand into a claw, stepped up, like stepping on a strong wind, his body was like a lightning flash, and grabbed Meng Changran.
"It's a good time!" Meng Changran smiled, took a step back, avoiding this heart-digging claw, and the long sword behind his back was suddenly unsheathed.
The two of them shot very quickly, Xiao Wu raised his eyes and saw that he could no longer see the two figures, only heard a continuous tinkling sound, overlapping together, shaking his ears with pain.
Suddenly, the wind in the city was fierce, and the two people who had turned into light and shadow were separated, and Shangguan Lie showed two feet of wings behind him, flapping slightly, standing in mid-air, and the wind in the sky originated here.
Meng Changran's hat was long gone, and at this moment, his long hair was curly, and his fair face showed a solemn meaning.
I saw him raise his hands and fingers flat in front of his chest, and the long sword slowly rotated in the middle of the levitation. As he turned, the light and shadow around him distorted, and the wind blew here to turn into a breeze.
The wind grew rage, the sword turned slower and slower, and the surrounding houses shook incessantly.
"Stop me!" I don't know when, Luo Pingchuan appeared between the two, and a roar actually caused the ancient city to tremble!
"Hmph!" Shangguan Lie fell, and the wings behind him were no longer visible.
"Heh, City Lord Luo, don't come unharmed!" Meng Changran bowed slightly, and the long sword was carried behind him again.
Luo Pingchuan didn't pay attention to Meng Changran, as long as the two stopped fighting each other, he didn't care about anything else. Luo Pingchuan gently patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and slowly left.
Meng Changran didn't care, and he didn't know where to find a hat and put it on his head, and the robe was unfurled, and it was sprinkled away.
Xiao Wu, who was watching the whole battle, had a heavy heart, originally he didn't care about Shangguan Lie, but now he felt like a big mountain hanging overhead.
Xiao Wu took a deep breath, walked out of the city gate, and walked towards the village.
When he saw Xiao Wu's figure suddenly disappear into a clearing, Shangguan Lie's face instantly sank, and he walked to the place where Xiao Wu disappeared in a few steps, looking there thoughtfully.
"Xiaoqiu, someone from Shangguan's family is here, he called Shangguan Lie and said that he wanted to take you back. ”
"Uncle Lie......" Qiushui looked dazed, and soon returned to normal, and asked, "What about brother?"
"Brother Shangguan was taken away by the Zhou family, and he didn't tell me much. ”
Qiushui's expression was obviously relaxed when he heard the Zhou family, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "With Sister Hongdou here, my brother will definitely be fine." ”
Xiao Wu grabbed Qiushui's hand and said, "Xiaoqiu, I hope you can return to the family." ”
Qiushui smiled and asked, "Did Uncle Lie say something to you?"
Xiao Wu shook his head slightly, and handed the medicinal materials left by Shangguan Zhengtian to Shangguan Qiushui: "Wait for me at Shangguan's house, I will go to you." ”
Qiushui showed a trace of sadness and threw herself into Xiao Wu's arms, the two of them had a thousand words, but it was difficult to confide at the moment.
In the end, Qiushui made a decision in his heart.
"Forget me. Qiushui's weak voice sounded in Xiao Wu's ears, and the person had already walked outside the courtyard gate.
Xiao Wu was stunned, and suddenly felt remorse in his heart, and chased outside the courtyard gate, but saw Qiushui smiling like a flower in Shangguan Lie's arms, and his half-raised hand fell weakly.
Shangguan Lie hugged Qiushui in his arms, his eyes were full of doting, and when he occasionally swept towards Xiao Wu, it was cold.
"Girl, whoever dares to bully you in the future will tell your Uncle Lie, no matter inside or outside the clan. ”
"Well, Uncle Lie, let's go. Qiushui looked at Nanshan with his eyes and turned his back towards Xiao Wu, who couldn't see her expression.
Someone came from afar, it was the Shangguan clan, at this time, they were lined up in the distance, and everyone's eyes fell on Shangguan Qiushui, who was their former miss.
Shangguan Lie held Qiushui in his arms and walked away.
"Spare him his life. Shangguan Lie's voice sounded in the hearts of those Shangguan clansmen.
A group of people surrounded Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu was in a trance, he didn't pay attention, and his eyeless fists and feet had already fallen on his body.
"You?" Xiao Wu woke up in pain, shocked and angry, and wanted to resist, but his body was held down by several people.
"The phoenix of the Shangguan family is also something you can touch, you once saved my young lady and left you alive. After speaking, one person stopped talking, and the short knife in his hand was nailed to Xiao Wu's arm.
Qiushui in the distance heard the movement and wanted to turn back, but his body didn't listen to the call, and it was difficult to move, so he could only beg in his mouth: "Uncle Lie, what are you going to do, let them stop!"
"Xiaoqiu, don't blame you Uncle Lie, it's also for his good. Shangguan Lie's voice was gentle.
"Xiao Wu, he saved my life, you are clearly taking revenge!" Qiushui tears rolled down, and her weak voice was unwilling, she was wronged for Xiao Wu.
"Your whereabouts in the past few years are all in the eyes of the Shangguan family, even if everyone in the clan treats you badly and doesn't care about your life or death, but your surname is Shangguan, they care about their face after all. You are close to Him, and it is His guilt. After you leave, I'm afraid that a few people will do it. By doing this, I can also build a staircase for them, hoping that those veins will not be too much. ”
"But..."
"If you want to hate, let him hate me. That little guy is also very pleasing to the eye to look at, and his character is not bad, if he is really a dragon, this kind of hatred can help him become stronger, if he only has this little cleverness at the moment, this lesson will also be good for his thoughts, and he will die at the door of Shangguan's house in the future. ”
However, he was already miserable. Qiushui could only shed tears, and at this moment she hated herself very much.
"In this world, how many people are not bitter?" Shangguan Lie left a sigh and walked farther and farther.
Seeing their backs and the sound of autumn water crying in the wind, Xiao Wu clenched his teeth and silently recited the word Shangguan in his heart.
At this moment, Xiao Wu's limbs were nailed to the ground, covered in bruises, and the person who spoke before shook his head slightly: "Very backbone, but Shangguan's family is not a place to look at backbone." Let's go. ”
Bright red blood mixed with the icy white snow, condensing into a crimson color.
Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and struggled from the ground, the sharp blade was drawn from the wound with bursts of pain, Xiao Wu looked sad silently, he wanted to ask why?
"Is it Shangguan's family?" Xiao Wu thought silently in his heart.
Haoyue swayed with white light, Xiao Wu suddenly thought of Qiushui, and laughed with a sad face: "Xiaoqiu, you and I should be in general pain tonight." ”
A black shadow cut through the white lightning, like a black lightning, silent, pointing directly at Xiao Wu's eyebrows.
"Zheng!"
The golden sword shadow appeared, the two intertwined, and the sound of explosion like thunder echoed in the silent night.
Blood spilled from Xiao Wu's mouth, and the shadow of the sword dimmed a little, turning around, and submerged into the center of his eyebrows.
The black shadow was like a soul locking hook chain, shooting towards Xiao Wu again. Xiao Wu saw the black shadow approaching him, but he struggled with powerlessness, and watched a touch of white light up in the black shadow, as if it was cold and nailed to the center of his eyebrows.
"Ahem......"
An old man in ordinary clothes walked slowly, coughed lightly as if to freeze time, and the three-inch-long white blade was pointed on Xiao Wu's forehead, and then a few minutes was the end of the book.
The old man waved his hand lightly, and the black shadow dissipated like black smoke, and there was no flesh and bones, only a three-inch white blade fell to the ground.
"Sir?" Xiao Wu was stunned, the person who came was the old gentleman who taught him to read and write, but the person in front of him could not be equated with the old and weak appearance before no matter what.
"Hmm. The old man nodded slightly.
Xiao Wu opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.
"I shouldn't have made a move, it's just that the world should inherit your father's kindness, and I can't watch you die in front of my eyes. The old man spoke slowly, a little weaker than the last time he taught Xiao Wu to read.
"My father, sir, do you know where he is?" Xiao Wu was anxious, trying to get up but collapsed.
"That day, he chased the demon king away, and no one knew where he went. The old man sighed, paused for a while and continued: "I don't want to interfere too much in Hongchen affairs, little guy, remember that the strength of this world is fundamental." ”
"Did you see my mother, sir?"
"I haven't seen it. ”
The old man applied some medicine to the wounds on Xiao Wu's limbs and left.
Xiao Wu staggered into the courtyard, and his heart was full of thoughts: Is it because of his mother that his father chased the demon king away? Where is his mother? The returning autumn water, the inexplicable humiliation, and the sudden murderous ...... Xiao Wu is extremely thirsty for strength.
In three days, Xiao Wu's injuries were mostly healed, and the warmth of his lower abdomen made the refining speed much faster every time he was refining qi, Xiao Wu suddenly remembered that there had been this change since he opened the three orifices of his lower abdomen, and he couldn't help but silently sense the rest of his orifices, but he didn't notice the slightest abnormality.
During this period, in addition to recovering from his injuries, the aura in Xiao Wu's body broke through to the peak of the tenth aperture.
Xiao Wu didn't suppress it this time, because he knew that this was a level, and he couldn't break through it at the moment without suppression. There are six out of thirty acupoints in the human body, and Xiao Wu needs to accumulate.
The palm sigil appeared, and it rotated, Xiao Wu tried to push it out of the body, but found that he regretted not moving, and after several attempts, he found that the seal was heavy, as if a heaven and earth were condensed here, untouchable, solid as a rock, and unshakable.
Father, you said that this is the foundation of the Feng family, but how to use it? The man didn't tell him at the time, Xiao Wu had no way of knowing, and now he could only control the looming sigil by his mind.
All the way to the snow, back to the starting point.
Xiaoya's jade buckle, the unknown broken knife, his father's broken spear, the family footwork, the swordsmanship and the knife technique that he learned from books, the remaining snake meat, the golden spirit fruit, and the spirit rune sent by the Fu Ling sect master......
Xiao Wu sorted out the things on his body and put them away again.
It's another person, Xiao Wu glanced at the small courtyard, although there was a souvenir, but he couldn't stay.
"It's time to say goodbye to the city lord!"
Xiao Wu took a deep breath and entered the City Lord's Mansion. didn't say anything, just gave a simple salute, explained the intention, thanked him, and walked away.
The boy went out of the mountains and stepped on the river inch by inch.
Mo Yan's dragon and phoenix are arrogant, and they should have howled for nine days!
