Chapter 12: Sunset
What does it feel like to have your soul ignited?
Lou Xiyan only remembered that at that moment, a burning pain came from the depths of the bone marrow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info, but there is a kind of cold like falling into an ice cave. All the questions in my mind that I once couldn't figure out were all figured out in an instant. But the brain is thinking with a pinprick pain.
He gritted his teeth tightly and endured. He didn't know how long he had been lying there. In a drowsy mood, I only remember that it was dark and bright again. It's dark again. It seems that a long time has passed. The pain from his body eventually made his consciousness begin to drift, and his body became limp, and before he passed out completely, he saw a figure.
He was saved by a passing woodcutter.
When he regained consciousness again, the feeling of powerlessness coming from his body made him unable to believe that the internal strength that had been cultivated for ten years in his body was all in vain. Taking a deep breath, he sat up with the pain coming from his body. But I feel that it has taken a huge amount of effort.
"You're awake." When the woodcutter walked into the house, he saw Lou Xiyan sitting up. He poured a bowl of water and handed it to Lou Xiyan. "Drink some water, you've been in a coma for days."
Lou Xiyan stretched out his hand to take the bowl handed over by the woodcutter, but found that the bowl that he picked up lightly on weekdays felt like a thousand gold at the moment. Fine sweat oozed from his forehead, Lou Xiyan gritted his teeth, held the bowl, and drank the water little by little. He's going to live.
"Is there anything better?" The woodcutter's eyes were full of concern.
"Thank you." Lou Xiyan thanked him, and his voice was weak.
……
After Lou Xiyan finished talking about what he experienced ten years ago, the time had come.
"Later, after I got used to this body, I said goodbye to the woodcutter who saved me, and when I returned home, I picked up the book I hadn't read for many years, and decided to participate in the imperial examination. I thought that the men in black should be far more powerful than the ones I investigated. There will be many that will be hidden under the darkness. That's it. ”
After Lou Luan listened to Lou Xiyan's words, he pursed his lips tightly, not knowing what he was thinking. He seemed to organize his words, and finally he spoke. "Brother, let me avenge the revenge of the Jingnan Lou Clan. No matter what means are used, no matter how many years it takes, I will continue to track it down. Until the murderer is caught. At the end of this sentence, Lou Luan's tone was full of pleading. I just wish my brother could live a little longer. "Those who burn souls will eventually disappear from heaven and earth.
"Cherish the dynasty, no, Luan, since you have already embarked on the path of cultivation, don't be tainted with the cause and effect of earthly sight." Lou Xichao looked into Lou Luan's eyes, and after a pause, he looked out the window. "What's more, people's hearts are unpredictable." Lou Xiyan seemed to be worried that Lou Luan would end up with a fate like him.
"It's already this hour." Lou Xiyan's voice was filled with a sigh. Then he adjusted his tone. "Let's go, let's go to dinner, I remember you loved sweet and sour fish when you were a child." Then he seemed to think of something and smiled apologetically, as if he remembered that Lou Luan had already entered the Dao, and rubbed his forehead. "Look at my memory. I forgot that you can only eat vegetarian dishes now. Not far from this star picking building, it is also good to have a vegetarian dish. Saying that, Lou Xiyan took Lou Luan out of the cubicle.
Lou Luan followed Lou Xiyan all the way down the Star Picking Tower, and saw Lou Xiyan greeting the scholars he met in the Star Picking Building with a warm smile on his face. But whenever anyone saw Lou Luan walking side by side with Lou Xiyan, their faces showed surprise.
After leaving the Star Picking Tower, Lou Luan spoke. "You deliberately asked me to meet in the Star Picking Tower." The expressions of those scholars just now are the best evidence.
"Isn't that interesting?" Lou Xiyan's face was still as warm as jade, and her voice sounded like a spring breeze. But Lou Luan felt the pride in Lou Xiyan's heart at the moment because of his prank. His brother still likes to play tricks on people so much, Lou Luan sighed.
"Childe, Childe, I finally found you." The little scholar ran to Lou Xiyan in a panic when he heard the wind, and his voice was flustered. When he saw Lou Xiyan and Lou Luan walking side by side, he rubbed his eyes. "Am I delusional, how did I meet the two sons?"
"It's not an illusion, this is my twin brother, Lou Luan." Lou Xiyan looked at Tingfeng and pressed his hand on Tingfeng's head and rubbed it. Then he turned his head to look at Lou Luan and said. "This is my scholar's listening wind."
"Second son." Listening to the wind, he honestly saluted Lou Luan.
Lou Luan just nodded silently to Tingfeng.
Lou Xiyan looked at Tingfeng. "What's wrong?"
"Childe, Miss Bai Zhi of the Right Prime Minister's family is here again. We couldn't stop her. Listening to the wind, he cried and said to Lou Xiyan with a sad face. Then I saw a commotion not far from the crowd, and a girl in green with a soft whip slowly walked in.
Her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and her face is baby fat. Comb the bangs neatly. He looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. It's just that the ferocity on her brow makes her face a little less colorful.
She approached Lou Xiyan and opened her mouth like a cannon. "I've been to you many times, but every time they say you're not home. Brother Xiyan, what are you busy with? I took a fancy to Tanhua's cousin, who was either reading at home or going out to play with those friends every day. But you'll never ask me out to hang out. She pouted, as if she was dissatisfied that she didn't find Lou Xiyan every time she went to find him.
"I'm sorry, Miss Bai. It's been a busy lately. Lou Xiyan smiled lightly at Bai Zhi. But Lou Luan noticed that Lou Xiyan's heart was the same as him, and he had the same feelings for the little girl in front of him. Abhor.
"Hmm." Bai Zhi listened to Lou Xiyan's explanation, and the murderous aura on her face faded. Then she noticed Lou Luan beside Lou Xiyan. "Who are you, why do you look so similar to Brother Xiyan."
"It's none of your business." Lou Luan looked at Bai Zhi with a sword, and the little girl in front of her was followed by more than a dozen resentful spirits, as long as the longevity lock on her body was broken, it would kill her in an instant. Such a person he didn't want to talk to her.
"You." Bai Zhi didn't expect someone to speak to her like this, she didn't even want to raise her hand to whip Lou Luan.
Lou Luan looked at the soft whip that was whistling and didn't move, as if waiting for the whip to fall on his body. And when the whip was about to touch him, suddenly he spoke. "I've seen enough of the play, but haven't you come out yet?" At the same time, Bai Zhi's soft whip seemed to be hindered by something before it reached Lou Luan's body.
"Hehe, senior brother, you found out." Qingming's figure gradually emerged from the crowd. He smiled weakly, and secretly followed his senior brother and was discovered.
"It's better for girls to be gentle." With the voice, Xie Zhao appeared beside Bai Zhi and gently knocked on Bai Zhi's hand. The soft whip in Bai Zhi's hand slipped into her hand like this.
"What?" Bai Zhi only felt that the whip on her wrist had fallen into the hands of the woman in red who suddenly appeared in an instant.
"A whip is a good whip, but it's a shame to have poison suddenly." Xie Zhao looked at the whip in her hand, and then snatched the whip from Bai Zhi's hand, which turned into ashes in her hand.
Bai Zhi looked at Xie Zhao with wide eyes, as if she wanted to be angry, but the numbness in her wrist still did not subside. She glanced at Xie Zhao resentfully. "You wait." Leave this sentence and leave angrily.
Xie Zhao looked at Bai Zhi's departing back and spread his hands. A helpless expression appeared on his face.
She looked at Lou Luan slightly. "I'm just a passerby."
"I ...... I, I'm just curious. Qingming stammered a little under Lou Luan's gaze.
Lou Luan frowned. His face was already dark.
Seeing that Lou Luan's face was dark, cold sweat broke out on Qingming's forehead. "Ahaha, I won't bother you, senior brother." Saying that, Qingming pulled the corner of Xie Zhao's clothes and planned to leave.
Lou Luan didn't know why, watching Qingming tugging at the corner of Xie Zhao's clothes, and a sense of irritability arose in his heart for some reason. It seems that he wants to tear the two apart, but why would he do it? Lou Luan was confused by the feeling that arose in his heart for a moment.
Because of the twins' telepathy, Lou Xiyan felt Lou Luan's inner emotions. He smiled warmly at Qing Ming. "If you don't mind, let's come along."
Qing Ming looked at Lou Xiyan, who had the same face as Lou Luan, and smiled warmly at him, and the whole person looked like he had touched the thunder spell, stupid.
"Oh, you're welcome." Xie Zhao did not shirk at all after listening to Lou Xiyan's words. "By the way, my name is Xie Zhao, the Xie who disbands the armor and returns to the field, and the Zhao who Zhao Zhao the sun and the moon."
"I know you." Lou Xiyan spoke.
"Huh." Xie Zhao was secretly surprised in his heart that such a scholar actually knew her.
Lou Xiyan didn't answer Xie Zhao's doubts, he stopped and stood in front of a restaurant. Then he smiled and spoke. "Here we are."
It's a store with a cold façade, but when you walk in, you'll find groups of people with swords sitting in the lobby. As if sensing someone coming in, the people sitting in the lobby turned their heads to look at the door. Receiving the gaze, Lou Xiyan smiled, and then he spoke. "I didn't know that even the people in the rivers and lakes knew about me.
After Lou Xiyan's words were finished, the people in the lobby withdrew their gaze.
A young man seemed to want to refute something, but the middle-aged man next to him grabbed his wrist and shook his head. Motioned for him not to speak.
When Lou Xiyan and a few people walked upstairs, the young man finally couldn't help but speak. "Master, why did you catch me. The red-clothed ......, but before he finished speaking, he was knocked on the head by a middle-aged man.
"You kid don't want to die. That's no ordinary demon. If you put up this kind of skill, you will be sent to death. The middle-aged man lowered his voice.
"Isn't the way to slay demons and defend the path of righteousness?" The young man continued to question the middle-aged man.
"Do what you can, stupid boy. And don't you see, the Taoist priests of the Ethereal Mountain didn't make a move on her. The middle-aged man listened to the question asked by the young man, and secretly sighed in his heart when the apprentice's elm head would be able to open up.
"Is that so?" The young man scratched his head, he still didn't quite understand what the master said.
