Chapter 8: Feelings (1)
In the last year of the Yuan Dynasty in 495, in the summer of July, the Yuntai Immortal Sect, which was hidden in the deep mountains, somehow destroyed the entire sect overnight. This matter is passed down by the survivors, it is said that the Yuntai Immortal Sect practiced evil art against the right path, and designed to poison the famous disciples of the mountain martial arts, and when the matter was revealed, the head Kun Yuan killed the killer and trapped everyone in the know-how in Yuntai Mountain, so that the disciples wantonly killed innocent people. Fortunately, the master rescued him, and the clan of the sect turned the danger into a disaster, united to fight against the Immortal Sect, and finally left smoothly.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that there is a secret treasure in Yuntai Mountain, and about the truth, the eight major sects that go up the mountain to compete seem to say hello in advance, and they are secretive about it and don't want to mention it more. Over time, the rumors about Yuntai Mountain have developed more and more into mysteries, and when people mention it again, it is strange to be dodge. However, it attracted countless people to come, but they returned empty-handed because they couldn't find their way up the mountain.
Regarding the rumors, one of the people involved in the incident, the Long clan wanted to kindly clarify one or two: there are no secret treasures, and it is a ghost place where a group of crazy people live. Don't go, don't go, or you'll be scared and you won't be able to sleep.
Many people think that this is an exaggeration, and that there is no such evil thing in the world.
In this regard, Bai Fan of the Long Clan held a dog's tail grass in his mouth and said solemnly: "I really can't sleep, when I close my eyes at night now, all I see is bull-headed ghost noodles coming to eat me, and I can't sleep even if I think about it." ”
Xiaoxue agreed: "Well, I can see that you can't sleep well, and there are three layers of dark circles under your eyes." ”
"If you were willing to take a little more shadow, I wouldn't have to be cold and sleep well on the haystack in the stable. ”
"Big brother, obviously you don't live in the upper room, and there are not enough beds in the lower room, so it's better to sleep in the stable than on the street. ”
"It's amazing to have money to live in. Bai Fan was envious and jealous, "You guys don't forget it, why do those boys also have beds?"
"Luo Shao is a big family, it's not bad for money, add a few dollars to Xie Hua's private room, what's in the way of you. ”
“.......”
Bai Fan was choked and speechless, and roared in his heart: I hate you rich people!
"Alright, don't be poor, we'll be on our way later. Miao Nu held a plate of fragrant meat buns in front of Bai Fan, "Hurry up and eat, don't waste time." ”
This place is a small border town between Dayin and Southern Chu.
After they left Yuntai Mountain, the descendants of the Long Clan and the Tang Kingdom separated from the others and went their own way. didn't think about it, came to settle down in Xiaochengtoudian, and met the Han family again, as well as Luo Shiqiu, Xie Lanzong and Duan Yunzhen, etc. This fate was so unbelievable that they once thought that these people were not secretly following them.
If there are many people, it will be lively, everyone has known each other for three months, and they have fought side by side, not to mention too deep friendship, but fate is also slowly concluded.
The inn is small, there are not many guest rooms, the owner of the store is open to money, the Han family and Luo Shiqiu, the two big families, casually reward a few dollars, and immediately open the door to send the best guest room. On the other hand, the Long family and them, all the way through the dust, simple dress, at first glance they look like ordinary people, the owner of the shop is not enthusiastic to entertain them, casually arrange a few inferior guest rooms. They have a lot of people, there are not enough rooms, the shopkeeper holds high and low, points to the pigsty stable, and says that you can choose one of the two and live casually. was so angry that Bai Fan and Le Yi stomped their feet on the spot and almost smashed someone's shop.
After a night of cold wind and nightmares, it's no wonder that Bai Fan can sleep well.
"I don't want to eat anything, just give me tea. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Bai Fan stared at a few glamorous young ladies on the opposite table, thinking to himself why he was not born in the noble family, and those who go out don't have to eat and sleep in the open, being rich is different.
The relationship between the Han family and Luo Shiqiu is growing day by day, and now it has risen to the level of indiscriminate screaming of older brothers and sisters, and they are closer than their own sisters and brothers.
Xiaoxue likes to play with them, and Luo Shiqiu also likes her quirky temperament, she fights a little every day and can't be idle for a day. Luo Shiqiu sent an invitation to Xiaoxue and took her to Xiling to play.
"Okay, I've never been to Xiling, and you must have a lot of fun there. Xiaoxue was fascinated and couldn't wait to go with Luo Shiqiu immediately.
Liu Changnan poured out her enthusiasm with a basin of cold water, "We're going to find Wenwen, not to play." ”
At the mention of her sister, Xiaoxue suddenly lacked interest and made a sad face.
After the first battle of Yuntai Mountain, the families recuperated for several days, and returned home one after another. Only their Han family stayed on the top of the mountain day by day, and they couldn't go. It's not that they don't want to leave, but the personnel are not even, can they go? There are also Luo Shiqiu, Xie Lanzong and Duan Yunzhen, the three of them, who don't know what is crazy, and they refuse to leave.
Han Wen was nowhere to be found, and he searched up and down Yuntai Mountain, but he was nowhere to be seen. The longer they stayed in the mountains, the more they had trouble sleeping. Xiaoxue accidentally got lost in the chaos, but finally found it unharmed, but Hanwen, their unconscious eldest lady, disappeared mysteriously every once in a while, and they were almost addicted. It's really worrying about the dead, if you can't find anyone, how can you go down the mountain, but in the end, they still go down the mountain and make peace with Xiao Si Da Zhou.
"This eldest lady of your family is really unbelievable in her willfulness. Luo Shiqiu heard a little about this matter, and said with a smile: "I have never seen a young lady who dares to run around alone." You're so relieved that she's out alone?"
Xiaoxue held a smiling face, at a loss: "My sister likes to stay alone, I'm used to it, I just don't know how long it will take for her to come back this time." ”
Wen Ze was also bored when he mentioned this, and said: "I hope she finds out in her conscience and takes the initiative to come back, otherwise we will really have to look all over the country." ”
"She'll be fine. Compared to them, Liu Mo's heart was very big, and he was not in a hurry at all, "So many times, which time did something happen?"
"Maybe something will happen this time. Xiaoxue thought badly.
Liu Mo asked her a violent shudder, "I hope she will be better!"
Xiaoxue covered the bag on her head and said nothing. In the face of a crazy woman, I really dare not be angry, and I dare not lie when I am angry.
Liu Changnan listened to this mess, only to feel that his brain hurt, and he got up and walked out of the inn without saying a word.
There were two benches on both sides of the inn, and Liu Changnan habitually sat on the right, thinking about things, when a voice suddenly appeared on the left.
"Little brother, you are young, what are you worried about?"
Zhuang Yanzi sat on the bench with a crutch and didn't look to the right, but there was no one else outside the door except the two of them, so this was said to Liu Changnan.
Liu Changnan pressed down his boredom and said gently: "The senior's eyes are like torches, so you can see the joke." ”
"There are a lot of jokes, and I like lively young people. Zhuang Yanzi glanced sideways at the young men and women who were laughing and playing in the room, and said with a smile: "You dolls are very good, you should play is playing, you should play is beating, do whatever you want, be free, where do you come from! I have seen you for a long time, at a young age, with a tense face and frowning all day long, you have more worries than an old man like me, and you don't look young at all." ”
Liu Changnan was stunned when he heard it. Was he being lectured by the old man?
Zhuang Yanzi said again: "I heard my eldest apprentice say, your family has a pair of sisters, the big one is a good businessman, that is, he loves to run, right? But ah, I really like this little one, the ghost is clever, he is not afraid of tossing things, and he has pitted my crazy little apprentice......, right?
It seems that every older person loves to chat with the younger generation, and as soon as Zhuang Yanzi opens the chatterbox, he talks endlessly. Liu Changnan listened word for word on the surface, and responded appropriately to a certain point of the old man's words, but he thought about something else in his heart...... The Sword Saint only accepted two apprentices in his life, the eldest was Xu Shu, and the younger was Mei Yue. When the dust settled on Yuntai Mountain, everyone knew that this legendary figure on the rivers and lakes suddenly went up the mountain to fulfill his brother's agreement, that is, to help the owner of the Wangshan Inn regain his lover. At that time, everyone sighed after hearing the sad love story between the boss and Kun Yuan's female apprentice, and was shocked that Kun Yuan did all the things that hurt the heavens and reason, and forcibly demolished the mandarin ducks, which was really not human. The misty Mei Yue saw the master who had been absent for a long time, and she had something to say, Zhuang Yanzi had just finished talking to the big apprentice, and she had a small gathering with the little apprentice, and a lot of age ran back and forth. Later, he and his junior brother were invited by Zhang Yuming and Master Wang to go down the mountain with the Long family, which was regarded as a companion, while his junior brother Ye Qianliu refused to go with him, and parted ways with everyone when he went down the mountain and left first.
Liu Changnan always felt that something was wrong, the boss's beloved woman died in front of him, and the clear-eyed person knew that she was killed by someone at a glance, and the boss was grief-stricken for a long time, but after burying his lover, he didn't go anywhere in the inn, and he didn't even mention revenge. He felt strange that the only one who was most likely to kill Tianyun was Kun Yuan, but in the end, the Immortal Sect was destroyed, and all the disciples in the sect died, but Kun Yuan could not be found on the top of the mountain, not even a corpse, and he didn't know where he went. Maybe he's gone with the mysterious floating island. Liu Changnan thought about it, only this conjecture was the most reasonable.
"Hey! The old man has said so much! Have you listened? Distracted!" Zhuang Yanzi's voice was loud in vain, and the crutch struck the ground hard, and the floor trembled, and suddenly woke up Liu Changnan, who was wandering in the world.
"Uh...... Sorry, the junior was rude. Liu Changnan embarrassedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, two blushes appeared on his white face, and the whole person was like a child who had done something wrong, cramped and uneasy in front of adults.
When Zhuang Yanzi saw him like this, he said with a smile: "What are you worried about all day long, be careful that people are seventy or eighty years old before they are old." He has long seen that this kid is the most careful and steady in this group of people, has good conduct, treats people gently and meticulously, is a good seedling, and is bound to grow into a big man with many styles in a few years.
"Little brother, if you don't, come with me, I happen to lack an apprentice. He stroked his beard, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.
Liu Changnan suddenly woke up and looked at him in disbelief.
But seeing that he looked serious and half-false, Liu Changnan was even more uneasy.
After hesitating for a long time, Liu Changnan still rejected the old man's kindness.
"It's really strange, when others beg me, I don't necessarily accept it. Why did the old man speak in person, but you pushed it simply, don't you look down on me as a master?" Zhuangyanzi really couldn't figure out why the other party rejected him, and couldn't help but be annoyed that he didn't know what to do.
How dare Liu Changnan say that Zhuang Yanzi is not worthy of being his master, he has two apprentices, one is more powerful than the other, he is self-aware and does not dare to call Xu Shu Meiyue a brother. Twisting his eyebrows and pondering for a moment, he properly organized his language, and said to him: "Please forgive me, I am a businessman who does not set foot in the rivers and lakes, and it is fate to be able to intersect with the Long family, I like to make friends with them, but as you said, I am used to hard work, and the people in my family are all love to make trouble, if I really leave them to go with you, I really don't feel at ease, so the seniors are good, and the younger generations understand." ”
When Zhuang Yanzi heard this, he knew that he couldn't get a new apprentice if he said anything, so he had no choice but to wave his hand and avoid accepting apprentices. It's just a little regretful in my heart, this kid has excellent qualifications, and it's a pity that he doesn't accept his subordinates.
Liu Changnan brushed off the kindness of the Sword Saint, and felt a little guilty, so he cheered up and listened carefully to the old man's rambling about a bunch of messy things, and answered the old man's questions from time to time. From the perspective of others, they laughed and chatted speculatively and happily, and in the eyes of Zhuang Yanzi, this kid was going to be angry with himself. He didn't give up, he still wanted to fight for it, and deliberately pulled a bunch of idle things, just to relax the other party's guard, so that he unexpectedly let people fall into his trap, and promised him to be an apprentice in a daze, but this kid is clever, and the next set is all bypassed, and if he can't get around, he pretends to be confused, and he doesn't agree to apprentice when he comes and goes.
Zhuang Yanzi was defeated again and again, and finally gave up, Tie Qing didn't look at Liu Changnan with a blue face, and snorted coldly and sat on the other side with a crutch far away. Make a "I'll ignore you" look.
Liu Changnan couldn't cry or laugh, after these words, he roughly figured out the old man's temper. That's a child who hasn't grown up, and if he doesn't go along, he won't give people a good face, and he can only be coaxed by giving sugar.
Due to the failure of the apprentices, Zhuangyanzi and Liu Changnan "broke up unhappily", and when the two families separated, Zhuangyanzi also hummed his nose and said that he didn't know what to do, he had no eyes, and he regretted it in the future. The others who didn't know were confused, but Liu Changnan smiled silently and politely sent the Long family and the descendants of the Tang Kingdom out of the small city.
The inn was deserted with some fewer people. However, this did not prevent Xiaoxue from having fun in their youth, and they asked the innkeeper the best place to play, and as soon as it was night, they went out noisily.
Liu Changnan grabbed Xiaoxue's hand and asked, "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"
"I heard that there is Flower Street Willow Lane here, Anan, you can go with us too. Xiaoxue grinned, "I'll get sick if I'm always stuffy in the house." ”
"Yes, you are not going to suffocate here alone, you might as well be happy with us. Xie Lanzong came over and hooked his shoulders to woo Liu Changnan.
Liu Changnan didn't even look at him, his eyes found Xiao Si and Liu Mo in the crowd and asked, and said helplessly: "Do you want to go too?"
Xiao Si touched his stomach: "I want to be optimistic about Xianggong." ”
Liu Mowen shrugged: "As they say, coming out is playing." I finally came out of the mountains, but I ran into the Long family's gang, which made me have to endure it, otherwise, I would have gone out with them last night. ”
There are awe-inspiring swordsmen like Xu Shu and Zhuang Yanzi in the Long Clan, and there is an old gentleman Zhang Yuming in the Tang Kingdom.
Liu Changnan couldn't control them, and he wouldn't go along with them, so he told them to "don't make trouble" and let them go.
They ran out happily, and Liu Changnan was left alone in the inn.
Looking up at the moon, he missed the days when the eldest lady was still there, at least they would listen to her words, and his words were good enough to be listened to for a while.
"Alas. He sighed, and was troubled.
Wenwen, Wenwen, where did you go?
