Chapter 55: The Wind Rises
"Can't I use a sword just because I'm suitable for a light and nimble sword?" Xie Zhao asked rhetorically, his tone was still light. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Definitely." Yao Lin waved his hand. "I just think that such a knife was originally made for men, and it is too domineering for women."
"Yao Gongzi's definition is too early, how can you conclude that I can't control it if I haven't seen me draw a knife yet."
"This ......," Yao Lin looked at the amber eyes of the woman in front of him, and was speechless for a while. According to what he thought, Xie Zhao should have shown a look of adoration, looking at him with a crimson face instead of being like now.
"If nothing else, I'm gone."
"Wait." Yao Lin shouted to stop Xie Zhao. Turning his head to look at Yao Lin, Xie Zhao's eyes were full of inquiry.
What else is this man trying to say?
"I apologize for what I just said, as an apology, I don't know...... Miss Xie ...... Would you like to go boating with you......" Speaking of the back, Yao Lin stammered a little.
"Okay." Xie Zhao smiled slightly, and his smile was bright and moving.
"That'...... Three days later, how about going to Xingyue Lake on the outskirts of the city three days later. Yao Lin's tone was a little urgent, and his mood was apprehensive. Hands clenched unconsciously.
"That's okay, let's swim together in Xingyue Lake in three days." With that, Xie Zhao turned around and walked towards the Star Soul. Looking at Xie Zhao's departing back stupidly, Yao Lin was glared at by the star soul.
This guy actually had a bad idea of adults, and Star Soul couldn't help but warn Yao Lin.
"There's this ...... here," Tsukiro's gaze was drawn to the weapon in front of him. The weapon in front of her was a strangely shaped harpoon, made of what looked like the vertebrae of some large animal, somewhat curved and glowing with moon-white light. The harpoon had more spines than a normal harpoon, and there was a chain tied to the end of the harpoon, a chain made of a mixture of bone and jade beads, and at the other end of the chain was a ball, a white ball, but no material of any material was visible.
"This fork was picked up by my ancestors from the mountains, and no one knows how to use it." Xiao Ziyi took Yue Luo by his side. He looked at the harpoon, reaching out and stroking it gently. "If the moon girl likes it, give it to the girl."
Tsukiru shook her head. "No need."
Her weapon is her own bones, more than any other weapon. The harpoon in front of him should have been left by a senior in the clan, but it was brought back by the people of Tiger Roaring Village.
The sun sank little by little, and Xiao Ziyi looked up at the sky. "It's been this hour. I'm afraid I'll lose it. You can come and go as you like except for a few places, and I will send someone to inform you to come and eat later. Saying that, with an apologetic expression to a few people, Xiao Ziyi left abruptly. After he left, the atmosphere became awkward again, and the star soul tilted his chin slightly, wanting to speak, but was interrupted by Xie Zhao.
"Let's leave too."
Yao Lin looked at Xie Zhao's departing back, with an expectant look on his face. Then there was a pain in his arm. Unable to help hissing, he turned his head to look at his sister. "Sister Huang, you are too ruthless."
"You're looking at people's eyes and they're going to fall off." Yao Huang put one hand on his waist and poked Yao Lin's chest with the other. There was a look of disgust and complaint on his face.
Yao Lin had grievances in his voice, and he connived in every way in the face of his sister poking his chest. "However, she really looks like that sister in red."
"Sister in red, sister in red...... You were only a few years old at that time, and you must have become an aunt in red now. Yao Huang seemed to be jealous.
The conversation between the two siblings reached the ears of the departing trio word for word. The star soul quietly glanced at Xie Zhao, who was expressionless beside him, and continued to walk forward without squinting. Why did the adults agree to go to the lake with Yao Lin? Although he thought he was smart, he still didn't understand.
"Curious why I agreed to go to the lake together?" Xie Zhao looked at the Star Soul, and she raised her eyebrows.
"Yes." Star Soul hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Interesting." Hearing the answer, Star Soul couldn't help but have doubts on his face.
"Huh!"
"He is the Yao family in Jingnan." There is a deep meaning hidden in Xie Zhao's words.
"What do you mean by ......" Star Soul dragged a long voice, and he didn't say any more about the rest of the words, just lightly flicked him to guess Xie Zhao's intentions.
Xie Zhao had a smile on his face, and his smile was full of interest.
Three days later. Xingyue Lake.
Xingyue Lake is located at the foot of Tiger Roaring Village Mountain, ten miles west, in the middle of Tiger Roaring Village and the town. It is named because the whole lake is crescent-shaped, and there is a small island in the middle of the lake that looks like a star.
Surrounded by a verdant green, the willows hang low and probe into the lake, where the surrounding willows are reflected, the pavilions in the middle of the lake, and the boats and tourists coming and going. Occasionally, a bird gently touches the surface of the water, rippling in circles, breaking the sparkling surface of the lake.
The young man had a smile on his face, and from time to time he said something interesting to tease the woman in red in front of him, causing the woman to hide her face with her hands and laugh softly. The young man looked at the woman and chuckled again. If you don't know, you still think it's a pair of lovers boating on the lake.
Yao Lin and Xie Zhao were sitting on the painting boat, and across the low table, Yao Lin was telling Xie Zhao about the mirror lake in the south of the mirror and some interesting stories. He looked at Xie Zhao's eyes full of admiration.
"And then? What happened. Xie Zhao tilted his head slightly to look at Yao Lin, with anticipation in his amber eyes. Yao Lin, who was watching, couldn't help but blush again, and he smiled embarrassedly. Scratched the back of his head.
"Later, I was sent back to Yaofu by a sister dressed in red, and at that time I only thought that sister was so beautiful and had a good smell on her body. In the future, if I marry a wife, I must marry such a woman. Yao Lin said and looked at Xie Zhao, his eyes full of seriousness. He grabbed Xie Zhao's hand. "Miss Xie, although it is a little abrupt, you are willing to marry me."
Xie Zhao quietly withdrew his hand, with a light smile on his face, the look in his eyes was removed, and he lowered his head slightly. "Yao Gongzi, I already have a marriage contract, and it is ...... to agree to travel with you" Before she finished speaking, Yao Lin in front of her overturned the table in front of her, and his face was gloomy.
Covering his face with his hands, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his face was still looking down at the ground.
Yao Lin stood up and looked at Xie Zhao, his face was frosty, his eyes flashed with complex and incomprehensible feelings, the air condensed for a while, and after a long time, he sighed. The frost on the face gradually subsided.
"It's me who lost my temper."
"It doesn't matter." Xie Zhao shook his head and signaled that he was fine. "I'm a little tired and want to say goodbye first."
Yao Lin was silent for a moment, and then spoke. There was something indeciphered in the voice. "I see. Let's take the boat to the lake. ”
"Okay." The boatman answered, and turned the bow of the boat and sailed to the shore.
The breeze blew on his face, blowing his sideburns and messing up the corners of his robe.
Xie Zhao looked up at the shore, and at such a moment when she raised her eyes, she saw Lou Luan. The man in a blue and white robe stood under a tree by the lake, holding a sword in both hands. The sword eyebrows and starry eyes are as beautiful as a crown of jade, and the clothes are fluttering, and the wind blows the corners of his robe. He pursed his lips tightly and met Xie Zhao's eyes.
Lou Luan looked at Xie Zhao, and for a moment some memories that didn't belong to him appeared in his mind.
Those were scenes he had dreamed of since he was a child, intermittently, sometimes 'he' was fighting with people, sometimes 'he' was wearing a black armor and practicing knives. There are also pictures of 'he' taking the knife from the hand of a majestic old man, and there is also a picture of him staring at a young child, who calls him Brother Murong in a soft voice.
The war is raging. The sky was always gloomy because of the wolf smoke, the spring was cold, and the cold wind hit the face like a knife. But my heart was unexpectedly warm. In front of him was a set of bright red clothes, which was his wedding dress. He's getting married. And the girl you like.
But as soon as he changed into his middle coat, he heard the horn of the enemy's attack. hurriedly put on the armor, and hurriedly ran to the city with a knife to arrange everything. The knife at his waist was thick and had a quaint pattern.
From early morning to noon and afternoon, he finally ascended to the city gate, where stood a girl dressed in red and silver armor, and he walked over and patted the girl on the shoulder. Then he took the girl's hand and clasped his fingers tightly.
Her name is 'he' Murong. This girl is the same child she once was.
They made a promise that Jin Ge Iron Horse would live and die together.
'He' listened to the girl's callous order to slaughter her comrades. Then 'he' saw the girl's tears, and tears flowed down his face. He heard his own voice, "You are my wife no matter what." ”
In his shattered memories, this time he finally saw the face of the girl in his dream. The blurred faces gradually overlapped, and finally froze, it was Xie Zhao. The girl in the dream, who has been looking at him, is the red-clothed demon in front of him who is always smiling. The knife hanging from his waist in the dream is now hanging from Xie Zhao's waist.
His brain shook for a moment, but the chaos was only for a moment, and he clearly knew that he was Lou Luan and not Murong Yao. Cultivating into the Tao and comprehending heaven and earth, he has already comprehended his own true self. Those dreams and memories are in the past, but even if he told himself so, he still felt a faint pain in his heart, regret, anger, a struggle against fate, and a concern that he couldn't let go.
The master said that he has not broken the past, is this the cause and effect that he owes the red-clothed demon in front of him? If the demon clan in front of him is really like the eight-tailed fox said to kill the demon and obsessed with the demon, it is because the 'he' in the previous life died? The last sight of 'he' dying in the dream was Xie Zhao's mournful cry.
Because of the loss of his beloved, he couldn't let go of his obsession in his heart, and his obsession became a demon. Because he was guilty of a serious crime, he slaughtered his comrades in order to kill demons. Is that so?
Xie Zhao.
