Chapter 14: The Waning Moon
Qujiang City is small, therefore, there are few people who stay here for a long time, and there are many passers-by who come and go from the south to the north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When everyone entered the city, they all felt an unusually bleak atmosphere.
It was past noon, but the streets and alleys in Qujiang City were still deserted. The shops on the street are closed, and there are six or seven out of ten; The rest of the ones that were barely open were also half-opened; Occasionally, someone peeked out, and when they saw more than a dozen people walking in a group on the street, they quickly retreated in, followed by another "bump", and closed the door tightly.
The wind blew and swept away, all of which was the breath of Xiao Killing.
Seeing this, Lu Changfeng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his face became grim; He whispered an order to keep the group vigilant and careful. At this moment, although I can't feel the fierce hostility around me, it's better to be cautious.
So, everyone was cautious along the way, looking around; After turning a few streets and alleys and walking a few more distances, I finally came to the Tianhemen Gate in the west of the city, but I hesitated for a while.
The blue tile high wall of Tianhemen is still shocking; But at this time, the door is empty, and the air is solemn; If you pay close attention, you can even feel the faint smell of blood, as if a bloody battle has just taken place.
After waiting for a while, Lu Jianwen volunteered, took the lead in stepping forward, pushed open the door, and stepped into the Tianhe Gate.
As soon as he entered the front yard, he only took a few steps, Lu Jianwen's eyes flashed, and he saw more than a dozen people holding long swords jumping out of the room in front of him, and after a while, they formed a half-fan formation to surround him.
More than a dozen snow-bright long swords pointed directly at him, but Lu Jianwen looked at them as if they were nothing, his eyes just swept over the heavy sword blades like dragonflies, and he roughly glanced at the dozen or so swordsmen in front of him who looked nervous and looked like they were facing a great enemy.
It doesn't seem to be a person who lives in the clouds. So, Lu Jianwen showed his Tianquan token, and said in short: "Down, Tianquan Gate, Lu Jianwen." ”
It turned out to be his own people. The dozen or so swordsmen looked at each other for a while, and although their faces softened a lot, the long sword pointing at Lu Jianwen did not immediately take it back.
At this time, one of the swordsmen stood out of the queue, put away the sword behind him, and said to Lu Jianwen: "Down is Tianxingmen Gao Feng, Lu Shaoxia has arrived here, so ......"
Before he finished speaking, some people stepped into Tianxingmen one after another. Gao Feng glanced at it, and the leader was Lu Changfeng, the master of Tianquan Gate.
If Lu Jianwen's identity has yet to be confirmed, then for Lu Changfeng, who has been famous for a long time, everyone in Tianxingmen will not admit that he is wrong. It seems that the reinforcements from Tianquanmen have indeed arrived. Gao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the dozen or so swordsmen behind him and said, "Put away the sword, go and ask the Gumen Lord to come out." Then he saluted Lu Changfeng and said, "The Lord of the Lu Sect is finally here." The crisis of Tianxingmen has just passed, so it is far away, please forgive me. ”
Lu Changfeng smiled and nodded, showing that it was okay.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a majestic tiger walked out of the front room and hurried away; After a few big strides, he stepped into the vestibule and raised a loud voice to the landing Changfeng: "Changfeng, you have arrived!" I'm so anxious! ”
Lu Changfeng chuckled and said, "Qiongya, are you okay?" ”
"Hmph, it's okay! Can't die! Gu Qiongya, whose eyes were bloodshot and his sideburns were slightly messy, responded lightly, and when he turned his eyes, he saw a girl followed by Lu Changfeng, who looked very familiar. Gu Qiongya was stunned for a moment, looked at her and asked, "Yun'er?" Why are you here? ”
"Uncle Gu, I'm ......" Su Ruoyun stepped forward lightly, and when he saw Gu Qiongya, his eyes began to turn red again, and after swallowing a few words, he couldn't say more. Gu Qiongya has a friendship with Su Zhennan for more than ten years, and it can be said that he is the one who watched Su Ruoyun grow up; For this well-behaved and quiet girl, he also loves it very much. This time, Su Ruoyun saw Gu Qiongya, and the grievances and grief that had been pent up for a long time came up, but they were stuck in her throat for a while, and she couldn't say a word.
By the time he understood what had happened, Gu Qiongya was already furious, his fists clenched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "These damn demon cult dog mongrels! There is a deep feud in the sea of blood, and sooner or later there will be a day when you will settle accounts with them! After a while, after controlling his emotions a little, Gu Qiongya said to Su Ruoyun as pleasantly as possible: "Yun'er, here in Uncle Gu, you can rest assured!" Those pigs and dogs of the Demon Sect, if they dare to get one step closer to you, I will beat them all into meat sauce! ”
"Hmm!" When Su Ruoyun heard this, the corners of her mouth flashed a smile that had rarely been seen in the past few days; But then, when he remembered that although there were many masters in Hongfeng Villa, he still couldn't resist the attack of Piaoyunju, Su Ruoyun's face was gloomy for a while, and he was afraid that this temporary avoidance in Tianxingmen would affect Gu Qiongya again.
When Gu Qiongya saw it, he was a little confused, and hurriedly changed to a gentler tone and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" Can't you still believe in your Uncle Gu's martial arts? Yun'er, you can rest assured! In the past few days, you have been running all the way, and you are also very tired, right? Let's take a few days of rest, relax, and don't be too sad, huh? Come on, laugh again, huh? ”
The current Gu Qiongya, like a middle-aged uncle who doesn't know how to comfort the little girl, is at a loss and incoherent, which makes others laugh.
When Su Ruoyun saw Gu Qiongya like this, she burst out laughing; Taking advantage of the smile on his face, he raised his hand to wipe his red eyes; Then, the tip of his right finger pursed his lips, covering the exposed teeth.
Seeing that the dark clouds on Su Ruoyun's face had dissipated, Gu Qiongya finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart did not settle down. In fact, in the past five days, Tianxingmen has not been peaceful, and there have been constant intrusions and sneak attacks by the Piaoyunju gang; This morning, he just repelled a wave of ferocious attacks from the other side.
What's more, there is information that the Tianhemen Gate in Spring City has been destroyed; The Floating Cloud House forces in Guangdong seem to have greater moves; Therefore, Gu Qiongya urgently notified Lu Changfeng, the master of Tianquan Gate in Heyuan, to lead the crowd to come to Qujiang to rendezvous, preparing to jointly meet the attack of Piaoyunju.
It can be said that the current situation is quite tense, and a bloody battle may break out at any time. Gu Qiongya pondered for a moment, and decided to wait for a moment and a half before talking to Su Ruoyun in detail. Moreover, since Su Ruoyun has already arrived in Qujiang, it is better to wait for the situation to be stable before making plans. Moreover, now Tianxingmen is full of masters, no matter what, it is much safer to stay here than to wander outside.
After making up his mind, Gu Qiongya turned his head and said to Lin Xinyin, Ling Yueyuan and Ye Youyou, who were following Su Ruoyun: "Thanks to the three young heroes who have protected each other all the way, Ruoyun can get here safely, Gu Mou is here to thank you!" ”
Although Gu Qiongya is nearly forty years old, he is bold, and his words are sincere and frank, without the slightest elder, which makes Lin Xinyin and the three of them feel very cordial.
Ye Youyou responded with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be a ......"
Ling Yueyuan was quite happy in her heart. Young man? Young man! Hey......
Lin Xinyin smiled bitterly in her heart. Shaoxia ......? I almost hung up several times......
Then, Gu Qiongya enthusiastically kept the three of them for a while. After knowing Ye Youyou's strength, I hope that I can have one more helper to count one, which is one aspect. However, Gu Qiongya thought more about it, now the people in Tianxingmen are all bosses, if there are a few more girls to stay with Su Ruoyun, it would be the best......
Lin Xinyin scratched her head, and with a slight turn of her eyes, she met Su Ruoyun's expectant gaze; After thinking about it, there is no place to rush to go for the time being; So he said to Ling Yueyuan: "Then, Xiao Yuan, let's stay for a while, right?" ”
"yes, okay." Ling Yueyuan replied without thinking.
Then, Lin Xinyin looked at Ye Youyou with inquiring eyes.
Ye Youyou looked up at the cloudy and uncertain sky, and responded: "The weather is so bad, you can't go if you want to." Then let's stay here for one night. ”
So, the matter was decided. When Su Ruoyun saw that the three of them had decided to stay, she couldn't help but smile on her face; The clouds of sorrow that have been haunting my heart for many days have also disappeared somewhat.
Next, Gu Qiongya freed up some people to help settle the four of Su Ruoyun and the people of Tianquan Gate.
……
====================
By the time everything was settled, it was evening.
Tianxing Gate, Council Hall.
From the afternoon, there were a few more intermittent drizzles outside; Today's horizon is cloudy, cloudy and wet; And in the conference hall, there is also a thick atmosphere of gloom and gloom.
After using a little means, it was not easy to dig out a little information from the mouths of the few Drifting Cloud Residence gang members who were captured.
It is extremely important information: the Drifting Cloud Residence Sword Demon, the Xuanwu Envoy, and the Yin Wind Envoy have arrived in Qujiang; The Vermilion Bird Envoy and the Soul Hook Envoy will come tomorrow; Then, in the evening of tomorrow, the general attack on Tianxing Gate.
The people of Tianxingmen and Tianquanmen, as soon as they heard the news, they all gasped. Although the Yin Wind Envoy has been eliminated by Ye Youyou, there is no one less enemy, but everyone has not let go of their hearts.
Because, there is a more powerful opponent: one of the three demons of Piaoyunju, the sword demon, Liang Yanqiu.
Ten years ago, Liang Yanqiu, who single-handedly killed the No. 1 Water Gang in the South China Sea-Haijiao Gang, I really don't know if his strength will reach that terrifying level now?
For a while, everyone was silent.
Su Ruoyun, Lin Xinyin, Ling Yueyuan and Ye Youyou, as special guests, were sitting in a corner of the conference hall to discuss the plan to defend against the enemy. Su Ruoyun has a special identity, needless to say about attending the meeting. As for Lin Xinyin and the others, since they have been regarded as "young heroes" by Gu Qiongya, they are also treated as their own people; Therefore, even in terms of form, it is necessary to bear a little responsibility corresponding to identity.
However, these four people don't know much about the situation, so naturally they can't say why; Moreover, seeing that the chamber was silent at this moment, he would not speak rashly.
After Lu Changfeng pondered for a while, he felt that the situation might not be so hopeless. He was confident that with his sword skills, he could fight Liang Yanqiu for hundreds of rounds; Moreover, the Tianquan Sword Formation composed of the Nine Warriors of Tianquan was enough to trap Liang Yanqiu firmly.
As for the three demon envoys, if Gu Qiongya, Lu Jianwen, Shan Ying, and Ye Youyou, who may be used as foreign aid, join forces, it should be no problem.
And the rest of the Demon Sect gangs, they are just small shrimps, swordsmen and boxers under the Tianxing Gate, gathered together, as long as the tactics are appropriate, they should always be able to deal with it.
So, Lu Changfeng first whispered and communicated with Gu Qiongya, and Gu Qiongya nodded frequently when he heard it.
Then, Lu Changfeng publicly analyzed it in public, and when everyone heard it, there was indeed some truth; In this way, the originally throbbing mood is now a little calmer.
Then, the next thing is to do some specific trivial things. Lu Jianwen spoke first: "In the past few days, everyone has been quite tired, so it's better to have a good rest tonight and recharge your energy before you can deal with the bloody battle tomorrow night." ”
The people of Tianquanmen rushed from the source of the river to Qujiang non-stop, and it took three days. As for the people of Tianxingmen, in the past five days, they have been struggling to deal with the invasion of the Piaoyunju gang, and everyone is indeed very tired, so when they heard Lu Jianwen's speech, many people were secretly refreshed: It was time to sleep well!
"No." After thinking for a while, Mu Shenggu slowly spoke: "This information is obtained from the mouths of the Demon Sect members, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, if the time of their general attack is not tomorrow, but tonight; If we let our guard down again, the situation will be dire. ”
When everyone heard it, it made sense, but as a result, the originally high mood will ebb and flow again.
"Well, Senior Brother has really thought it through." Lu Jianwen responded with a smile, not refuting, but also not agreeing. He himself seems to have believed in that information.
As soon as the topic began, everyone began to speak enthusiastically.
"What are the identities of those demon cultists, and they actually know this kind of information?"
"Could it be, it's all fake, maybe, their goal is not here?"
"The Demon Sect is menacing, you should hurry up and ask for help from the Tianzheng Alliance in northern Xiangbei!"
"Come on! They'll be here tomorrow night, and no matter how fast they are, it's too late to rescue! ”
"I think that Lu Shaoxia is still reasonable, he should recharge his energy and deal with the challenge of tomorrow night!"
"I think ......"
……
The current council chamber has become a big downtown area. The noisy and noisy voices rushed back and forth, muddying the current situation that was originally clear and clear, and Lu Changfeng and Gu Qiongya frowned when they heard it.
Ling Yueyuan, who was present, was very bored listening to it, and couldn't help but yawn several times. When Lin Xinyin, who was beside her, saw it, she quietly tugged at the corner of his clothes a few times, but Ling Yueyuan still went her own way.
The people in the Tianxing Gate and Tianquan Gate in the hall were arguing happily, but no one noticed Ling Yueyuan's side. After a while, the argument continued, and as far as the content of the controversy was concerned, there were in fact two factions: the rest and the vigilance. After the quarrel between these two factions, the words began to sharpen, and the atmosphere was a little hot; If it weren't for the people in the alliance, I'm afraid they would have already wielded knives and guns, and they would have to do it first.
Seeing this, Lu Changfeng quickly got up and calmed down the argument.
Final decision: shift vigilance. Thus, the controversy ended and the meeting was adjourned.
Lin Xinyin walked out of the conference hall and looked up: it was already dark.
This time, the time is almost over. This little meeting actually lasted almost two hours. Lin Xinyin sighed in her heart with deep feelings: The meetings of the past and present are all the same. dull, boring, long-winded; In the end, the leader will make the final decision.
……
====================
In terms of specific arrangements, the people from Tianxingmen and Tianquanmen are mainly responsible for the vigilance work. Therefore, Lin Xinyin and the four of them can rest with peace of mind.
On the way to the guest room, Lin Xinyin's heart was churning. In fact, in the past few days, I have been running around for days, accidents have continued, and I have experienced several vicious fights, and I am really physically and mentally exhausted. Now, it's rare to have such a comfortable night, you can relax and get a good night's sleep, not to mention how comfortable it is! However, when I thought of the bloody battle that would break out tomorrow night, I suddenly felt extremely nervous and sleepy.
Lin Xinyin looked around at Ling Yueyuan, Ye Youyou, and Su Ruoyun beside her; I saw that the three of them all looked worried, and it seemed that their thoughts were similar to their own.
Indeed, the current situation is not optimistic.
Before I knew it, I was in front of the guest room. At this time, Ye Youyou slowly spoke: "You guys...... What do you think? ”
Lin Xinyin, Ling Yueyuan and Su Ruoyun, you look at me, I look at you, they are all speechless for a while.
What can you think? Can you still leave immediately that night?
"According to me......" Ye Youyou looked at the three of them and said, "It's better to leave." ”
When the three of them heard this, they were all stunned for a moment.
Lin Xinyin's eyes widened: No, is it really running away at night?
"Of course not now......" Seeing that the three of them seemed to be misunderstood, Ye Youyou clarified: "Let's have a good rest tonight, and then leave here tomorrow." ”
The three of them remained silent. Now that people are in trouble, they are running away, which doesn't seem to be very kind.
"I have a bad premonition, I'm afraid things are not so simple......" Ye Youyou was still talking to himself, and suddenly glanced at the three people in front of him, but they didn't say a word like wood; Suddenly he lost his enthusiasm, so he shouted: "Forget it, don't talk about it now, I'm tired, sleepy, and I'm going to sleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow morning." ”
As soon as he said that, Ye Youyou turned around and pushed open his door, just took one foot in, suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at the three of them with a smile and said, "What the surnamed Mu said just now also makes sense, it's better to be careful at this time." Or, Xiaoyin, Ruoyun, how about we sleep together tonight? Xiao Yuan will help us keep vigil. ”
When Ling Yueyuan heard this, a fire surged, her lips moved, but she didn't make a sound; But I have already scolded in my heart: Die~~!
"......Excuse me," Lin Xinyin and Su Ruoyun replied in unison, and then took a few steps back at the same time.
"Hey, hey." Ye Youyou smiled a few times, but he didn't continue to entangle, turned around and entered the room, and while closing the door, he said with a smile: "It's better for you to rest early, it's almost late this night, be careful of perverts~"
Lin Xinyin and Su Ruoyun looked at each other and froze. Who do you say, she ......?
……
====================
The night is getting dark. Lin Xinyin was in turmoil for a while, standing in front of the door of the guest room for a while, but she couldn't enter.
"Xiaoyin? Don't want to sleep? Ling Yueyuan, who was beside her, asked.
"Hmm. Oh, yes. Now I can't sleep when I lie in bed. Lin Xinyin responded. Her habit of going to bed late and waking up late has not been changed even after the past few days; Coupled with a belly of thoughts, it is naturally more difficult to sleep.
"Well, why don't we take a walk around here and have a look?" Ling Yueyuan waved his head and looked around, and he was also very curious about the environment inside the Tianxing Gate.
"Okay, but ......" Lin Xinyin agreed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, neither of them was familiar with this place, and this would be a very moment, if you walk around casually, will it cause trouble to people? If there is any misunderstanding, it will be even more troublesome.
Seeing this, Su Ruoyun proposed: "There is a small garden behind this guest room, why don't we go there for a walk?" I remember that Gu Qiongya told her a lot of interesting stories about Tianxingmen before, one of which was that there was a century-old tree in Tianxingmen, which was planted in the garden behind the guest room.
"Yes, yes!" Ling Yueyuan replied with a smile.
Lin Xinyin naturally has no opinion. It's better to have a guide to lead the way than to run around like a headless fly.
The trio bypassed the guest room, through the promenade, and into the back garden.
Tonight, the moon was not round, and half of it was swallowed up by the night, but the light was still there.
At this time, there were only a few small dark clouds left in the sky, and there was no longer a single raindrop to fall to the ground.
After the rain, the sky is clear, and the moonlight wind has a fresh charm.
In the back garden, on the side near the fence, there is indeed a big tree in the sky. The trunk is thick, the roots are broken, and the branches and foliage are luxuriant, almost covering half of the back garden.
Su Ruoyun walked to a stone bench outside the area of the branches and leaves of the big tree, took out two handkerchiefs, and carefully wiped the rain and dew off the stool one by one, until a clean place was wiped out, and then pulled Lin Xinyin to sit down together.
Ling Yueyuan was very interested in this big tree, and jumped to the side of the tree in a few light steps, bent over, tilted his head, looked left, and looked right; Then he simply opened his hands and hugged the trunk of the tree, and after a while, he turned his head and said, "Yo, this tree is so thick, I can't hold it alone!" ”
"Hey." Lin Xinyin looked at the trunk of the tree, then looked at Su Ruoyun beside her, and said to Ling Yueyuan, "Maybe the three of us together can't hold it." ”
"Hmm......" Ling Yueyuan slipped around the trunk of the tree, as if trying to verify it carefully.
A waning moon hung high in the night sky, like the moonlight pouring down, dappled through the branches and leaves, dappled and sprinkled on the ground.
A little bit of silver light, one after another, shining; The shadow of the tree, the wind shifts and the shadow moves, and it is lovely. However, as soon as the wind blew, the branches and leaves also trembled, so half of the rain and dew on the leaf surface rolled down, watering the Ling Yueyuan under the tree.
"Ouch......" Ling Yueyuan hurriedly covered his head with his hands, but it was too late, and his whole body was half wet.
"Damn!" Ling Yueyuan was a little annoyed, raised her hand and patted the trunk of the tree heavily, and said very dissatisfied: "At such an old age, you still bully juniors, do you know how to be ashamed!" ”
The trunk of the tree shook, and the branches and leaves "rustled" again, so the other half of the rain and dew on the leaf surface poured down, and they were all rewarded to Ling Yueyuan as a meeting gift.
The rain accumulated by this big tree was indeed a lot, which was enough for Ling Yueyuan to relive the experience of encountering heavy rain on his journey.
"Ah......" Ling Yueyuan couldn't care about her image anymore, and hurriedly trotted away; One didn't pay attention, and tripped over the root of the tree again, and almost fell to the ground.
Lin Xinyin and Su Ruoyun couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw Ling Yueyuan's embarrassed look.
"What are you laughing at!" Ling Yueyuan shook off the water droplets on his clothes and hair, glared at the gloating two, and complained loudly.
So, Lin Xinyin and Su Ruoyun both withdrew their laughter, but the smile on their faces still did not fade.
Ling Yueyuan was very unhappy, feeling as if she had become a monkey playing with others.
When Su Ruoyun saw Ling Yueyuan's angry look, she barely resisted the urge to laugh again, stood up, and said, "Brother Yuan, don't be angry. I'm going to play a flute for everyone, okay? ”
"Huh? All right! Ling Yueyuan suddenly put away his anger. When it gets night, there is no entertainment in this place; It would be great to have a flute master like Su Ruoyun perform live.
Su Ruoyun smiled slightly, turned around on the spot, her dress suddenly danced, and the green silk held by the plain belt also moved with the wind; When he faced Ling Yueyuan and Lin Xinyin again, and the corners of his skirt had not yet fallen, he already had a snow-jade-like flute in his hand.
Lin Xinyin's mouth opened wide when she saw it. The speed at which Su Ruoyun changed his magic spell was really getting faster and faster! Could it be that this frost is hidden in the sleeve? However, this set of actions just now is really as smooth as flowing water, I really can't imagine that Su Ruoyun, who is quiet and delicate, will inadvertently reveal this lively side! Lin Xinyin couldn't help but sigh in her heart: It seems that Su Ruoyun is not only a flute master, maybe, but also a potential dance expert?
Su Ruoyun threw a light smile at the stunned Lin Xinyin, making the other party come back to his senses; He looked up at the waning moon in the sky, and after thinking for a while, he slowly raised the frost.
"Frost. Moonlight Song-"
wisps of rhyme, jumping out with joy; Like water flowing, endless; Float in the sky, swing in the night sky; Dissolve in the moonlight and soak into the heart.
Under the bright moonlight, the girl who played the flute was dignified, beautiful, and not blasphemous; It's like an eternal legend.
Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan watched quietly, listening, feeling, immersed in the melodious and melodious music, and it seemed that they could no longer feel the passage of time around them.
……
====================
"Listen well~" A female voice floated in from the entrance of the back garden.
The three of them were stunned, looking for prestige, only to see a young girl, next to a man, into the back garden; If you take a closer look, it turns out to be Shuangshuang and Lu Jianwen.
"Huh~~ I didn't bother you, did ......?" Seeing that the flute stopped abruptly, Shuangshuang looked at Su Ruoyun with a little apology, and exclaimed: "Miss Su's flute playing skills are really superb, and her voice is heartfelt and endless; Although we are far apart, we can still follow the sound all the way. ”
Su Ruoyun responded with a smile: "The two sisters have won the prize. Ruoyun was itchy for a while, and played a song, but he never thought about whether it would affect other people's rest, he was really ashamed. ”
"Hehe, the sound of heaven will only make the listener's heart relaxed, like a spring breeze, how many people still can't ask for it." Lu Jianwen opened his mouth and sighed, looked at Su Ruoyun and the three of them again, and said, "However, this night is indeed quite dark, don't you take a rest first?" ”
"I can't sleep~" Ling Yueyuan responded: "So I'll just come out and take a walk." ”
"Oh, I see. In that case, you can take a walk and relax. Lu Jianwen said with understanding, stood still for a moment, and then said to Shuangshuang beside him: "Shuangshuang, it's getting late, you better go back to the room to rest first, there is a task tomorrow." ”
Shuangshuang pouted and asked, "So, what about you?" ”
Lu Jianwen replied: "After I make a few more rounds, I will go to change shifts with Shan Ying." ”
"Then, I'll walk a few more laps with you." Shuangshuang raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and said.
Lu Jianwen looked at Shuangshuang's barely supported appearance, and said with a dumb smile: "Look at you, your eyelids are almost open, what are you doing." Go to sleep, go to sleep. ”
"Hmph, I'm in good spirits!" Unconvinced, they crossed their hands on their hips and looked at Lu Jianwen with their eyes wide open.
Lu Jianwen smiled and stretched out his right hand, patted his head gently, and said, "I don't have a good rest, and I eat indiscriminately all day long, look at you, you look like a bean seedling, and you always say that you want to catch up with my height?" Ah, la, look, look, it's been several years, why is it getting shorter and shorter? ”
"Uh~~" Shuangshuang frowned, his head floated, his body moved, he dodged, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "You always treat me as a child." ”
"Huh." Lu Jianwen chuckled and said, "If you like it, I can also learn from Shan Ying and call you a senior sister." ”
"Humph......!" Both of them stomped their feet, turned around, and trotted all the way out of the back garden, without even throwing a goodbye greeting to everyone present.
Lu Jianwen turned around and looked at Lin Xinyin, Ling Yueyuan, and Su Ruoyun, his face full of apology and helplessness.
Ling Yueyuan watched this scene and couldn't stop snickering.
Lu Jianwen looked back at the door of the back garden, with a faint sadness in his eyes, as if he was chasing Shuangshuang's figure, and said in a gloomy tone: "Shuangshuang and I are both orphans, back then, if Master hadn't rescued us, I'm afraid we would have starved to death on the streets." ”
"Oh~~ So, you and Shuangshuang are also childhood sweethearts, growing up together?" Ling Yueyuan grinned.
"Well, sort of. She entered Tianquanmen when I was eleven years old, and if you count it, we have been together for eight years. Lu Jianwen said with deep feelings.
"Hehe, then, do you treat her as a sister, or do you ......" Ling Yueyuan asked with a smile.
"Huh." Lu Jianwen smiled and did not answer; But there is something strange in my heart: how can this surnamed Ling care so much about this kind of problem?
"Lord Lu's heart is really good." Lin Xinyin, who was on the side, couldn't help but sigh. It seems that under the Tianzheng Alliance, not all of them are scum with belly bellies, and there are still good people.
"Yes, Master is a very good person." Lu Jianwen glanced at Lin Xinyin and said, "Honest, kind-hearted, upright; Probably, there are not many such good people in this world. ”
"Won't it...... In this world, there should still be a majority of good people......" Lin Xinyin still believes in humanistic goodness.
"Hehe, it's hard to say." Lu Jianwen said meaningfully: "The world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, people know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts, there are more hypocrites in this world than real villains." ”
"Huh......?" When Lin Xinyin heard this, she muttered in her heart: This Lu Jianwen, dare to be angry and angry.
"Not really. At least a lot of good things will still last forever, won't they? Su Ruoyun couldn't help but retort, looked at the old tree in the garden and said, "Just like this hundred-year-old tree, it has gone through vicissitudes of life, and finally survived." ”
Lu Jianwen looked at Su Ruoyun, who had suffered an accident in his family, and just chuckled, and did not intend to refute it with too strong remarks, but walked straight to the big tree, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and with a little encouragement, the flat scabbard was slowly inserted into the trunk.
Su Ruoyun looked at it from the side and was shocked. This Lu Jianwen's internal strength is indeed powerful, just with the scabbard, he can pierce into that thick tree trunk! However, it seems that this is not the case......
Lu Jianwen looked at the scabbard that was gradually deepening, and muttered to himself: "This old tree has a long history, vigorous branches and leaves, and a bright appearance; It's a pity that the inside is already rotten, as long as it breaks through the old skin used to support the façade, it will be like a bamboo. ”
When Lin Xinyin and Su Ruoyun heard this, they had nothing to say for a while, and they all fell silent.
Ling Yueyuan stared curiously at the scabbard in Lu Jianwen's hand, and was speechless for a while.
Seeing this, Lu Jianwen pulled out the scabbard and smiled at Ling Yueyuan, "Is Ling Shaoxia interested in this sword?" ”
Ling Yueyuan just nodded, and said secretly in her heart: Could it be that if I said that I was very interested, you would give me a ......?
Lu Jianwen held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, slowly stroked the scabbard with his left hand, his eyes moved with the movements of his left hand, and he said slowly: "This sword is called Guyun. His previous master, surnamed Yu, was a swordsman with superb martial arts, who was usually chivalrous and righteous, and he was good at fighting, so this sword also had an alias, called the Sword of Righteousness. ”
Lone Cloud Sword? The Sword of Righteousness? When Ling Yueyuan heard this, an image of a tall and mighty swordsman with a sword to cut through the injustices of the world and brave the rivers and lakes appeared in his heart; When I thought of this, my eyes suddenly lit up, and my face was full of admiration.
Lu Jianwen looked at Ling Yueyuan's look full of longing, couldn't help laughing, and sighed: "It's a pity, this swordsman surnamed Yu was too nosy, and as a result, he caused trouble, causing himself to die, not to mention, and even killing his wife and children and a pair of children. Isn't it ironic that he fought for righteousness all his life and finally died, but no one administered justice for him? Good people don't live long, probably referring to people like him. ”
When Ling Yueyuan heard this, her heart suddenly cooled. After thinking about it, it was very strange, how could this Lonely Cloud Sword fall into the ...... of Lu Jianwen's hands? So, I couldn't help but ask: "Then how can this sword ......?"
Lu Jianwen continued: "It has been nearly ten years since the whereabouts of this Guyun Sword were unknown, but just this year, it suddenly reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and I got it by chance, that's all. ”
"Oh......" Ling Yueyuan understood a little, and a little didn't understand. Forget it, don't want to.
Lu Jianwen looked at the waning moon in the sky, sighed lightly, and said to Ling Yueyuan and the three of them: "This will be the time, the time is really not early, you better rest early, and retire in the next place." With that, he stepped out of the back garden, and his figure gradually faded into the night.
Hai time. Tomorrow night and today is the time of bloody battle.
Lin Xinyin, Ling Yueyuan, and Su Ruoyun looked at each other, with mixed feelings in their hearts, and they couldn't sleep at all.
Looking up at the night sky: a lonely cloud is about to float over, engulfing the remaining half of the waning moon.
Suddenly, the heavens and the earth were dark.
