Chapter 70: Moving On
"For some reason, I don't like this place. ”
"Wonju?"
Xiao Luo propped his elbow on the table, leaned over and leaned on the edge of the table a little idlely, tilted his head and sighed: "Yes...... This is the first time I have set foot on the border of Wonju. ”
Xiao Luo has traveled alone since he had a little self-preservation, and has been to many places, but ......
Never set foot in Wonju.
It seems that in my heart, there is always a faint rejection and disgust for the place of Yuanzhou.
It is clear that since he can remember, he has never been in contact with any people and things related to Yuanzhou.
Xue Yun couldn't help but reach out and grab Xiao Luo's wrist: "That...... Do you feel unwell in Yuanju? Can the spiritual power run smoothly? You ......."
"It's fine. Xiao Luo smiled at Xue Yuan, moved his wrist, originally wanted to hold her hand in his hand with his backhand, who knew that Xue Yuan grabbed his wrist tightly, he struggled lightly but didn't break away, fortunately, he didn't toss, stretched out another hand that was originally supporting the table, and patted the back of her hand: "If there is really something wrong, I won't delay it until today." ”
Xue Yun breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze slid down Xiao Luo's face, and he paused in his chest: "...... Xiao Luo?"
"Huh?"
"You've never been to Yuanzhou, and you don't have any memories related to Yuanzhou, but if you really feel something strange from the bottom of your heart...... Could it be...... It?"
Xue Yu didn't know, but Xiao Luo understood that she was referring to the Kunwu Dao.
In fact, Xiao Luo also has such suspicions.
"Maybe. Xiao Luo was also a little unsure: "It's just it...... Not in the Streamer Grass Mountains, nor in the valleys...... It felt like it was like a slumber again. ”
“...... Can it be ...... What does it have to do with your background?"
Speaking of the mysterious valley in the Streamer Grass Mountain Range, Xue Yuan thought of the pair of ethereal figures again.
At that time, the young man who was seriously injured and seemed to be blind, deaf and speechless, never left the young woman who had been taking care of and enlightening her.
Those quiet years of seclusion in the depths of the bamboo forest.
In addition to these two phantoms in the bamboo forest, there are also fragments of Kunwu knives.
Or, these two Rao phantoms are the power of the Kunwu knife fragments, like a guide, and like nostalgia.
Those two people must be related to Xiao Luo and Kunwu Dao.
It's just that......
Xue Yuan thought of the giant python not far away from the valley, the golden origin power in the body of those giant pythons.
I don't know if it's a coincidence that the power of the origin that appeared there, and whether those two mysterious men and women are also related to Jiujing.
"Heh......" Xiao Luo chuckled, squinted his eyes slightly and looked up into the sky: "I haven't cared about my life experience for so many years, and now ...... But it seems that all kinds of clues are in front of me. ”
"Xiao Luo......"
"The grace of the master's life and upbringing is in my heart, and no one can replace it. Xiao Luo's expression was straight: "Biological parents, blood relatives, I haven't complained in the past few years, but I haven't thought about it." About my nature...... He's a cool person, right? In my heart, it's like there are no such people. ”
"You're not. Xue Yun said softly: "If you are really a cold person, at this moment, you will not say such a thing." ”
Xiao Luo pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, and looked at Xue Yuan: "Are you so optimistic about me?"
Xue Yun was slightly stunned, and glanced at Xiao Luo, who was starting to be indecent again: "Yes, in my eyes, you are very good." ”
"Ha!" Xiao Luo smiled, his voice a little brighter.
"Xiao Luo!" Xue Yun lowered his voice, and reached over very skillfully to twist the meat around his waist: "You make a little noise!"
......
Hearing Xiao Luo admit to rejecting Yuanzhou, Xue Yun had the idea of continuing to inquire about the news alone, but he quickly suppressed it.
Xiao Luo obviously thinks the same thing as her.
No matter what happens in the future, at this moment, they can't let the unknown confusion stumble and block their state of mind.
In fact, Xue Yu understands, and Xiao Luo himself knows even more. Xiao Luo, who had not taken the initiative to inquire about the news and groped for clues, was silently avoiding the panic in the unknown, until Xue Yuan clearly used visible clues and doubts to break the reason for his inaction.
And so, that's fine.
Xiao Luo took a deep breath and suppressed the disgust and uneasiness that had lingered in his heart since he came to Yuanzhou.
He had to step out.
So, when he was discharged from the hospital to inquire about the news in the town, it became a staggered division of labor between the two.
Su Run and Zhou Yan returned to Qiaozhou, there is no news for the time being, Fang Ye should have entered the Jiujing Secret Retreat, and Ling Xia has gone to Miaozhou, but there is no news yet. The Li family in Cangzhou should still have the Feng family's eyeliner at this time, and it is not easy to contact the action. Looking for Shangguan Miao, taking the opportunity to unite several forces to shake Yuan Che's matter, he couldn't move for the time being, and there was nothing to do, so the two of them first followed Xue Yuan's suspicions.
It's just that Granny Wang's story is not more, and there is no more detailed content, it sounds like the real part only has a few frameworks, vague, and I really can't find more clues. However, from the rest of the town, the two of them really found some clues that could confirm Xue Yuan's conjecture.
The story of Granny Wang, she can get the most and the longest, but there are also two or three old people in the town, and I have heard similar stories myself.
It is worth mentioning that there are also people who came to settle in the town from other parts of Yuanzhou several generations ago, unlike Granny Wang.
Although Li Yanning has been quietly recuperating from her injuries and has not asked much, she still noticed some of Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan's movements.
A few days later, Li Yanning, who was no longer in serious trouble and had even begun to re-cultivate in pranayama, took the initiative to find the two of them and proposed to leave the town and go somewhere else to investigate clues.
Xue Yun was the first to frown: "Yan Ning, it's good that you are seriously injured, stability and cultivation are the most important, and then ......"
"Sister Xue Yuan. Li Yanning smiled slightly, her face was no longer as pale as she saw when Xue Yun first came, with a little ruddy: "My injury has healed, it doesn't matter, it won't delay you and Brother Xiao Luo." ”
Xue Yun shook his head: "I didn't mean that. Yan Ning, it's rare that everything is peaceful here, there is no danger, and there is nothing to guard against these days, except that the aura is thin and not very suitable for cultivation, it is really a good place. But if we leave, although we will probably wander within the boundaries of Wonju first, it will not be good if there is anything on the road ahead......"
Li Yanning slowly lowered her head: "I'...... I understand that I have only only built the foundation period, and I don't have enough force to support myself, so I am afraid that I will follow Sister Xue Yun and Brother Xiao Luo...... Instead, it's a drag on ......."
Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows, and he had already seen what Li Yanning meant by this point, but he didn't stop it, and took a step back silently with his arms crossed.
"Don't think so, Grace. Didn't we just run out during the foundation building period......? You just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and you didn't raise your cultivation back, if I really take you regardless of the danger, let Yanran know in the future, she has to take Chi Lian and pull my skin away!"
Hearing Xue Yun mention Li Yanran, Li Yanning paused slightly, paused for a while before continuing: "I know, Sister Xue Yun and Brother Xiao Luo have something to do, although I don't know what they are, but I estimate ...... It will never be more ...... than before Help me escape from Lou Yuan City, Zhongzhou. You have not slackened these days for these days, I know. It's just that after all, this is only one of the towns in Yuanzhou that is not even recorded, there are not many people, and there is not much news, so I have been staying here, and I can't find anything, but it has delayed your time, and it is only right to leave early. ”
"Yan Ning, we ......"
"I also know that if it weren't for my lack of anger and for taking care of me, you would have left long ago. ”
Xue Yuan opened his mouth and looked at Li Yanning, who was hanging her head, but she didn't know what to do.
After all, Li Yanning is right, and there is no problem at all.
But at this time, she said something like "you can rest assured that we will never leave you alone", but it was a little ......
It seems to be aggravating Li Yanning's guilt.
Xue Yun turned his head and looked at Xiao Luo for help, but saw Xiao Luo shrug his shoulders at her, and motioned her with his chin to look back at Li Yanning again.
Xue Yun turned her head a little puzzled, and saw Li Yanning, who had been hanging her head for a long time, raised her head and looked at her with a smile on her face.
She couldn't help but tremble when she saw it.
"So, Yan Ning has the best of both worlds. ”
“...... Huh?"
"Since Sister Xue Yuan's future is unknown, there may be dangers and it is inconvenient to take me, so you don't have to take me. Li Yanning smiled very sincerely, with a bit of her usual shyness, which really made people unable to take any precautions: "Sister Xue Yuan, this place is safe and peaceful, suitable for staying and recuperating, but in fact, I am the only one of the three of us who needs it." ”
Xue Yuan suddenly understood Li Yanning's intentions, and before he could open his mouth, he heard Li Yanning continue:
"It may be dangerous to leave here to investigate clues elsewhere in Yuanzhou, and I am not suitable, but Sister Xue Yu and Brother Xiao Luo are already Jindan seniors, and it will be much safer to go forward together and take care of each other. There is nothing that can be done to stay in the town, but it is suitable for cultivating the body, pranayama and cultivation, and it is the most suitable for me, who is seriously injured and has fallen again. In that case, let's separate the two ways, I'll stay, and you can set off, won't it all be settled?"
"Yanning, no, you ......"
"Sister Xue Yuan. The smile on Li Yanning's face faded a little, but it showed a different kind of solemnity: "I am Sister A's sister." ”
“......”
Xue Yun has known Li Yanning for many years, and has never seen her look like this, awe-inspiring and solemn.
Xue Yun knew Li Yanning because of Li Yanran, and the Li Yanning she knew had always been her sister by Li Yanran's side. Although she is smart, meticulous, keen and vigilant, in Xue Yuan's eyes, she is more of that one, following Li Yanran's side, her face is slightly red and shy, and most of the time she is slightly lowered and pursed her lips and smiled. Compared with the red-clothed and unrestrained Li Yanran, Li Yanning's presence is much more, and many times it will even be ignored by people who look at it at a glance.
It wasn't until this moment that Xue Yuan realized.
Li Yanning can also be a tall and Ling Ran sword.
With a clear pride.
Xue Yun once felt that she was Li Yanran's sister.
At this time, Li Yanning is also, she is Li Yanran's sister.
But the meaning is very different.
Because she is Li Yanran's sister, she is not a pitiful person who can only be protected and accommodated.
She has her arrogance, and she has her strength.
In the past, she didn't need to show it, she didn't need to stand in front of herself, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't have that ability.
Xue Yun was stunned for a long time, let out a sigh, and his gaze at Li Yanning gradually changed: "...... Well, you're Yanran's sister. ”
Hearing Xue Yuan's words, the smile on Li Yanning's face changed back to Xue Yuan's most familiar appearance, with a little bit of cunning after success: "Then, Sister Xue Yun agreed?"
“...... I ......"
"Although Yan Ning's cultivation is not good, her ability to build the foundation is enough in Yuanzhou, especially in the place where she has not seen half a monk for many years. Not to mention...... Although I am incompetent, but in the end I was born in the Li family in Cangzhou, and I have learned a lot of things and saved a lot of things with the help of my sister over the years. Li Yanning paused, looked at Xue Yun and chuckled: "Nothing else, that kind of special teleportation talisman, I still have two in my hand at the moment." I wanted to hand it over to Sister Xue Yun and Brother Xiao Luo, and I was out just in case, but ...... I can also see that if I don't leave any precautions, I'm afraid you won't leave with confidence. ”
Xue Yuan listened to Li Yanning and her count what she had in her hands, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Yan Ning, from here, Yan Ran and I are no more than yours. ”
When Li Yanning heard this, she knew that Xue Yun had agreed to a compromise, so she laughed even more. She took two steps forward, gently grabbed Xue Yuan's hand, met Xue Yuan's somewhat sighing gaze, and said word by word:
"Sister Xue Yuan, the last thing Yan Ning wants to be is your burden, whether it is Sister Ah or you. ”
Xue Yun laughed, raised a hand and touched Li Yanning's cheek: "Yanning, you have never been burdened. Because of your bonds, we know better where the road is going. I am, Yanran, and even more. ”
Li Yanning's eyes suddenly turned red, and her nose was a little sour. She bit her lip and nodded at Xue Yuan, and then was gently held in Xue Yuan's arms.
“...... Xiao Luo and I packed up and set off in two days. You are here alone, and if anything comes your way, remember to communicate with us. ”
"Good. ”
......
After deciding with Li Yanning, to be more precise, after being persuaded by Li Yanning, Xue Yun still didn't feel at ease and stayed with Xiao Luo for another two days, seeing that Li Yanning was indeed well adapted to life here, and even after only two years of kung fu had been able to chat warmly with the nearby aunts about needlework, he was relieved.
Xiao Luo buried a concealed formation in the courtyard that would not be detected if it was not activated, and handed over the formation stone to Li Yanning, which was regarded as an extra layer of protection. This newly figured out and improved formation still refers to some of the Blood Sacrifice Soul Formation that was originally laid out in Su Zhen and Qishan Hui.
After that, Xue Yuan and Xiao Luo set off from the town together and headed south to the center of Yuanzhou.
In Xiao Luo's heart, the faint sense of resistance and disgust went a little stronger.
