The twilight was heavy, the cool breeze was blowing, the thunder was rolling in, carrying the dense rain like a net, the thick clouds pressed overhead, and the humidity in the air conveyed a suffocating sense of oppression.

A dense bamboo forest in the distant mountains swayed with the wind, like a bend of the deep sea, and the sound of the waves rose and fell, deafening. In an instant, the picturesque landscape of the day became an unfathomable trap, tearing open the roaring maws with a hideous countenance, ready to devour the souls that approached it.

Hao Bugui walked to the area of the fog and bamboo forest with the injured Jingyue and the faint smoke of the coma, he was already tired, but fortunately, they came all the way from Xiangcheng and chose a rugged mountain road, and when they arrived in Xiangjiang, they gave up the ladder that was easy to walk, and instead took a detour to the north bank of the Xiangjiang River to take the waterway, and finally got rid of the Wu Zhu secret guard who had been tracking them all the way.

Jingyue staggered to help Hao Bugui, her whole body was soaked with rain, and the new and old wounds on her body were stinging, but she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, just walked into the lotus valley.

The terrain of the foggy bamboo forest is complicated, and the bamboo is completely unorganized, and it takes some brains to go through. Although Hao Bugui has been in Lotus Valley for two or three months, he has been in and out no less than a dozen times, and he is also dizzy at this time, and he doesn't know where he is going.

"Hao Guard, Hao Guard......"

Suddenly, Hao Bugui didn't know what was stumbling under the feet of Lu Dao, and suddenly fell out of Lu Dao, his body was sandwiched between two bamboos, and the slight smoke on his back was smashing on Hao Bugui's legs according to the two bamboos, which caused Jingyue to exclaim.

Hao Bugui struggled to prop up his body with his elbows, his face was pale and distorted by pain, and for a while he looked a little terrifying in the light of lightning, and a pair of chapped lips closed one by one and made a faint voice: "Don't be noisy, I'm ...... I'm not in the way...... Ahem......"

Jingyue looked at Hao Bugui with an exhausted appearance, and then looked at the faint smoke next to him, the helplessness in his heart turned into tears, and he gushed out like a spring, and said intermittently with crying in his words: "Guard Hao...... Leave us alone...... You...... You go to the princess, and when you see the princess...... Come and join us again...... We...... Waiting for you......"

"What are you talking about?" Jingyue opened her mouth, Hao Bugui already knew what she was going to say, and when she heard her say it at this time, she was annoyed for a while, and she couldn't help but be angry, and he was panting with a sentence: "Do you know what to say...... This foggy bamboo forest...... What is it? Dare to ...... Say something like this......"

"I ...... I don't care...... You are a kung fu person, and you are familiar with the road here, if you are not involved with me and Weiyan, there is no problem in walking to the Lotus Valley. Jingyue made a decision in her heart, and she was determined to let Hao Bugui go first, and her words were coherent.

Hearing this, Hao Bugui stared at Jingyue and squinted slightly, and sighed: "Fog Bamboo Forest, the terrain is complicated...... I'm ...... myself Ahem...... There is no certainty of total victory. Moreover, the wind and rain are raging at this time...... I'll come back to you...... It's even more ...... Ahem...... It's harder ...... harder."

It's useless to say more, Jingyue simply broke the jar and broke it: "Anyway, Weiyan and I are people who have died once, if you can leave this cheap life, it is God's mercy, if you can't ......" Speaking of death, Jingyue felt a little compassion in her heart after all, but she just blinked her eyes, bit her lip, and finally said: "Then we can only blame our hard lives, and when our lives are up, we can't blame anyone!" ”

Hearing Jingyue's words, although Hao Bugui was disgusted in his heart that she didn't know the severity, his eyes were warm.

After being silent, Jingyue had already removed the slight smoke that was pressing on Hao Bugui's body, simply sat on the ground, held her in her arms, and refused to pay attention to him again.

Hao Bugui moved his Adam's apple, held the long sword that fell to the side in his hand, stood up with support, threw a dagger to Jingyue, and said, "If you leave for something...... I went all the way on the bamboo...... Mark it, and you will not be lost. ”

Jingyue only sat with her back to him, as if she hadn't heard Hao Bugui's words, she was stunned, and she didn't pick up the dagger that fell to the ground.

"You...... Waiting for me to come back. Seeing Jingyue's appearance, Hao Bugui's face was a little embarrassed, he was silent, hesitated and dropped such a sentence, Jingyue thought he was leaving, but he just stood still, didn't speak, and didn't see a move.

"Huh-", Hao Bugui swung his sword and cut down a few bushes of cultivated bamboo, turned into a bamboo stomp that could barely accommodate him, and stuck it in the open space cut down on the side.

After holding it for a long time, a cloak fell on Jingyue's body, Hao Bugui turned his head and walked towards the depths of the foggy bamboo forest, he didn't go far, he couldn't rest assured after all, he stopped and looked back at Jingyue's stubborn back and said unbearably: "The ground is wet and cold...... You're a girl with wounds...... Don't sit for long ......"

After speaking, plunged into the depths of the fog bamboo forest, only to see a few bamboos trembling slightly, "squirming" for a while, everything was calm, only the cool breeze and twilight rain swept the fog bamboo forest, a bleak.

Jingyue finally couldn't help crying, tears seeped out from the fingers holding her face, and flowed down her arm into the sleeve, cold and penetrating into her heart.

She heard him say, "You wait for me to come back," and it was "you," not the usual estranged "you."

The foggy bamboo forest is vast for dozens of miles, Hao Bugui does not dare to hope for life and death, and for her, life and death are even more ethereal. What's the point of making a little difference at this point? It's just a little thought I gave myself, and it's charming, but who knows if it's a lie.

Picking up the dagger stained with mud on the ground and pulling it out, the cold light was overwhelming, making people's eyes ache like teeth. Jingyue stroked the obsidian inlaid on the hilt, put the knife into the sheath, and hugged it tightly in her arms, feeling for a moment that the coldness of the bones was also slightly warm.

A smile bloomed on her face, and Jingyue suddenly became angry. Picking up the unconscious light smoke, dragging her to the side of the bamboo stomping, in this narrow place, Jingyue suddenly felt that she was also happy.

Hao Bugui staggered to the Wuzhu Ju in the Lotus Valley, and saw the lights of the Wuzhuju flickering with a warm halo from a distance, as if it was an illusion of nothingness. It wasn't until Xilin Jinchun and Jing Ning ran out of it one after another that they believed that they were really back, and their hearts were relieved, and they fainted unconsciously.

The morning sun shone on Hao Bugui's face through the bamboo window, and a warm feeling gave birth to an illusion in his mind:

Jingyue smiled at him in the bamboo stomping in the foggy bamboo forest, and the silk handkerchief handed to him was warm and damp, Hao Bugui took it and was about to wipe his face, but the silk handkerchief was shyly pulled away by Jingyue.

Hao Bugui complained: "What are you doing here?" ”

Jingyue didn't say a word, just laughed "sneering", turned around and stepped out of the bamboo stomp, and walked into the depths of the forest, no matter how Hao didn't return to call her, she didn't agree......

"Jingyue, Jingyue......" Hao Bugui called Jingyue's name and sat up suddenly, looking at the surrounding scene, but it was in Wuzhuju.

Jing Ningdeng, who was lying on the sickbed and sleeping soundly, was woken up by him, yawning and rubbing his worried eyes and asking, "Who are you calling?" ”

When Hao Bugui saw Jing Ning, he reached out and grabbed her shoulder and shouted, "Where is Jingyue?" Where is she? ”

Jing Ning was a little confused, shook his head and opened his confused eyes and said, "I don't know what to do?" We saw you alone last night, huh? Jingyue ......" touched these two words in his mind, Jing Ning was half sober, and exclaimed in surprise: "Have you seen Jingyue?" Where is she? ”

Unable to hear the news of Jingyue, Hao Bugui felt anxious for a while, but he couldn't remember where Jingyue was in his mind.

Xilin Jinchun, who entered the door with the soup, couldn't dodge, and even the soup bowl fell to the ground, and the hard work of the morning was completely ruined. Before he could come to his senses, Jing Ning followed Hao Bugui closely, and ran out of the road like a little whirlwind.

Before he had time to ask, Xilin Jinchun took off the sword on the wall, followed Jing Ning, and also ran towards the foggy bamboo forest behind the mountain.

Hao Bugui, who opened the road in front, went on a rampage like a madman, and when he encountered a place where he couldn't go, he drew his sword and cut it, Xilin Jinchun was afraid that his sword had no eyes, and accidentally injured Jing Ning, and dragged Jing Ning behind him, shouting to Hao Bugui while running: "What are you crazy about?" If the injury is not healed, go to the foggy bamboo forest, don't you want to die? ”

Hao Bugui didn't speak, just blindly walked to the depths of the foggy bamboo forest, and brought up the diagonal bamboo branches all the way and threw them on Xilin Jinchun's body, which provoked Xilin Jinchun's anger, and was just about to step forward to restrain him, but Hao Bugui made a light effort on the bamboo, jumped away again and again, and was already dozens of meters away from him.

Xilin Jinchun just wanted to catch up, but he thought of Jing Ning again, so he had to pull Jing Ning to chase Hao Bugui and run wildly.

In yesterday's bamboo stomping, where is the shadow of the clear moon and the slight smoke? When Hao Bugui saw the empty bamboo stomping, he wanted to kill Jingyue and kill himself.

"Ah————h

When Xilin Jinchun and Jing Ning arrived, they only saw Hao Bugui's eyes full of hatred, and the words that had already reached his lips were unquestionable.

There was silence for a moment, so quiet that Hao Bugui felt that the world was gone. Jing Ning's sudden words on the side made the originally discolored, worldly realm in Hao Bugui's eyes instantly regain its vitality, and it was full of radiance.

"Huh? What is painted on this bamboo? ”
