Chapter 55: Fang Ye
"You've been with me all the way. ”
Hearing Ling Xia say this, Xue Yun was stunned for a moment, and quickly smiled calmly: "Yes." ”
Xue Yun admitted happily, which provoked Ling Xia to take a second look.
"I take the liberty to follow the Taoist friends, and I am curious about some things and want to ask. It's just that...... After all, I didn't know each other, and I didn't know how to greet him, so I hesitated for a while, and happened to bump into ......"
Ling Xia looked up at Xue Yuan, there was no superfluous expression on her face, but the velvet rabbit in her arms was very restless, and she pressed it back with one hand before she opened her mouth and said to Xue Yuan:
"If ordinary people encounter a situation, most of them run away without caring about themselves, but you help me. ”
Xue Yun smiled: "It's probably because Daoist friends are a bit like a friend of mine." ”
"Oh?"
Xue Yun stretched out his finger and pointed at Ling Xia's two-handed blades that were retracted from his waist behind him: "She will, like Daoyou, take the natal weapon she has cultivated with her outside." ”
Ling Xia's brows moved: "Really?"
Xue Yun squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was reminiscing, as if he was looking at another similar but different person through Ling Xia in front of him: "I remember her, to her, the weapon should be worn outside for people to see, make people jealous, make people feel ...... She's not easy to mess with. ”
After Ling Xia heard this, the fingers hanging by her side subconsciously rubbed gently, but it was nothing.
"Well, Ling Daoyou, that's the case, I ......"
"Snow Tuan'er!"
Halfway through Xue Xia's opening, the velvet rabbit that was easy to struggle out of Ling Xia's collar suddenly kicked on his hind legs, jumped from Ling Xia's arms to the ground, and no longer saw the pitiful appearance when he was pinched by the back of his neck before, and jumped on the overgrown ground and ran extremely fast......
Xue Yun felt that he really had the appearance of a rabbit.
And...... This thing originally had a name, which is quite appropriate for its appearance.
Ling Xia, who was extremely indifferent even in the face of a strong enemy and a life-and-death crisis, was obviously panicked when the thing in her arms ran away, and subconsciously picked it up, but she didn't catch it, and hurriedly raised her foot to chase after her.
However, this velvet rabbit named Xue Tuan'er didn't run far, and Xue Yuan followed Ling Xia and chased after Ling Xia for a short time when he saw Xue Tuan'er stop.
Stop at a ...... Under the feet of the man with an oil-paper umbrella, he stood up and pulled the corners of the trouser legs with his two paws, leaving dirt marks on the white and clean clothes of the other party.
When he saw this, Xue Yun suddenly realized that his color had become a little gloomy at some point, and he began to float extremely fine rain.
The rain was very strong, only a little damp.
The strange man in front of him came from the opposite direction to Huo Cheng, wearing a robe embroidered with light cyan bamboo patterns on a white background, which was particularly conspicuous in the forest that had begun to look a little dark. The man tied his hair with the same pure white hairband, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he looked down at the thing on the ground that was pulling at the hem of his trousers, the smile deepened by two points, and the whole person carried a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, both light and light.
But what made Xue Yuan pay special attention was ......
This young man is not an ordinary man, but he can no longer be a monk.
I don't know if he had any accidents, or suffered some irreparable serious injuries, the man standing in front of Xue Yun at this time almost didn't have any cultivation in his body, but he had some scattered traces of spiritual power on his body, which was a broken spiritual power that came out of his body, which could not form a cycle and could not be concealed, but the traces were very faint.
Xue Yun was puzzled, Ling Xia had already taken a few steps over, picked up the velvet rabbit on the ground that was scratching someone's trouser legs, and took the oil-paper umbrella in the other party's hand: "What's wrong?"
Xue Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
The tone in which she spoke to this man was really ...... It was much softer, and the mood fluctuations could be clearly detected from the tone, with a little anxiety and worry.
The man first glanced at Xue Yuan, who was left behind by Ling Xia, and nodded at her, and then looked at Ling Xia, who took the oil-paper umbrella, and smiled slightly: "I will come back today earlier, and before the hour comes, I will come out to greet her." It's going to rain. ”
Ling Xia nodded, feeling the snow ball in her arms struggling to the opposite side with one hand, she lowered her head and looked twice, her eyes on the already dirty paws for a while.
The man smiled and stretched out his hand towards Ling Xia: "It doesn't matter, give it to me." ”
Ling Xia moved her mouth, didn't say anything more, and handed over the snow ball in her arms.
As soon as the thing arrived in the other's arms, he squinted his eyes with satisfaction, even his ears relaxed, his paws grabbed the other party's snow-white and clean collar, and his hairy head rubbed lightly on his chest, and as it rubbed again and again, it made a coquettish sound.
Xue Yun felt that Xue Tuan'er's voice seemed to be a bit aggrieved.
The strange man raised his hand and stroked the head of Xue Tuan'er in his arms, his movements were light and soft, and he was very skillful.
“...... It's time to teach this thing a lesson. ”
"Huh?"
"I couldn't take it into the city, so I found a place to set up an enchantment to protect it, and when I was done, I came out to pick it up. If it weren't for its disobedience and making movements, it would not be so easy to be discovered. ”
Xue Tuan'er in the man's arms seemed to understand Ling Xia's accusation, snorted a few times, twisted his head and pointed his butt at Ling Xia.
"It's getting you in trouble?"
“...... OK. After Ling Xia responded, as if she finally remembered that there was someone behind her, she turned to look at Xue Yuan, who was standing quietly on the side and did not disturb them: "Fortunately, this Taoist friend passed by and gave a helping hand, but it didn't happen. ”
The man listened, took two steps forward, put the velvet rabbit Xue Tuan'er who was still grinding and coquettish in his arms back on the ground, and then bowed to Xue Yun very solemnly: "Thank you for this fellow Daoist." ”
"Uh......" Xue Yun was stunned for a moment, and took a few steps forward to salute back: "You're polite, the road is just uneven." ”
The man looked at Xue Yun carefully, and then chuckled: "It's still a matter of touching Daoyou...... There is already some distance from Huocheng, but it is closer to the distance, if you don't mind, you might as well go over and sit...... Treat injuries on your body. ”
was mentioned by the man, and Xue Yuan noticed......
Although the battle was not simple, he still did not completely avoid the confrontation between Senior Brother He and Ling Xia, whose cultivation was above him, and two shallow marks were drawn by the sharp qi on his right arm and the back of his left hand, which was a little oozing blood, but it was really not serious.
Today's Xue Yun is no longer the sister of the family who was once pampered, and this little injury, even before she left Mianzhou with Xiao Luo, she would not take it seriously.
But right now, she feels the other party's kindness...... You can take it.
After all...... What she wanted to ask was what she was curious about, but it hadn't been settled yet.
"That'...... So, thank you to the ......."
"My surname is Fang, Fang Ye, whatever you call Daoyou. ”
“...... Fang Daoyou. ”
Although Xue Yun clearly saw that the man named Fang Ye in front of him had lost his spiritual power and shattered it so badly, he was actually afraid that he could not be called a monk, but at this time, he did not call him "Fang Gongzi", but still called him "Daoyou".
Xue Yun didn't notice that after she called her so, Ling Xia's brows on the side relaxed a little.
......
Fang Ye's residence was indeed not too far away, and the three of them had already seen the Qiao courtyard in front of them after exchanging names and chatting a few words.
Fang Ye's courtyard looked very simple, mostly made of wood, although it was simple at a glance, it was very delicate when you looked closely, and it was obviously very thoughtful. The three wooden houses enclosed in low walls are not new, and they look a little old. Stepping into the courtyard, Xue Yuan always felt that there was a familiar feeling floating in his heart, and he thought about the past carefully but it was not clear, so he had to put it down for the time being.
It was Fang Ye's residence, it was better to be Fang Ye and Ling Xia's residence, and one of the three wooden houses belonged to Ling Xia.
After a brief conversation on the road, Xue Yuan also had a shallow understanding of the relationship between the two Rao.
Ling Xia and Fang Ye have known each other since childhood, and after something happened to them, the two of them stayed together until Ling Xia was included in the door wall by the Yin Sect and became a disciple of the sect. After that, Ling Xia had to stay in the Yin Sect for a long time, and then she spent most of her time walking outside, and the time she spent with Fang Ye was much less than when she was a child.
But this is always her home.
After Xue Tuan'er, who had been held in Fang Ye's arms along the way, entered the yard, she was carried by Fang Ye to clean, leaving Ling Xia, who was also a woman, to find herbs to treat Xue Yuan's injuries.
Xue Yu only had injuries on the back of his arm and hand, if there was a high-grade elixir, whether it was taken internally or externally, it would take almost a moment to leave no traces, but Fang Ye and Ling Xia were obviously not so rich here, but what they took out was not an ordinary herb. No matter what Fang Ye was, Ling Xia was a serious monk in the end, and there were naturally some things that were effective for monks here, although the spirit of the spirit grass was not strong and the medicinal effect was limited, it was many times stronger than ordinary herbs.
Ling Xia, this person, seemed very cold when facing Rao outside of Fang Ye, after taking out the wound medicine, Xue Yun proposed to deal with the wound herself, she didn't politely stop it, just silently sat down with her arms crossed and watched, and didn't say a word.
"Ling Daoyou......"
"Just call me by name. Ling Xia said lightly: "If I hadn't had your help before, I wouldn't have died today, but I would probably have been seriously injured." ”
"You've thanked me before, and I've done it, it's nothing, it's just that you are like a friend of mine in some places, so this is what you did. ”
Ling Xia lowered her eyes slightly, and was silent for a moment before continuing in a low voice: "...... The situation at that time before didn't have to be mentioned to Fang Ye. ”
Xue Yuan paused: "Even if I don't, Fang Daoyou can guess a little bit if he wants to......"
"It doesn't matter, you don't know everything. ”
“...... Good. ”
"Thank you. ”
"You're welcome. ”
After this, Ling Xia got up from the chair next to her: "I'll prepare some food, if you don't mind......"
Xue Yun was very happy to stay for a while, and had a chance to talk further, so he immediately smiled and nodded: "It's hard work." ”
"Yes, after all, it's a lifesaver. ”
Ling Xia left the room and went out to close the wooden door.
Xue Yun still had the wound medicine brought by Ling Xia in his hand, and a cloth towel that had wiped the blood stains was thrown on the table next to him.
She smeared ointment to her small wound from time to time, silently pondering what she knew.
Xue Yu didn't forget for a moment that she came to Nau Zhou to find the whereabouts of Shangguan Miao or other Shangguan families, and to get more corroborating evidence and clues to question and refute Yuan Che. Huo Cheng paid attention to Ling Xia because she unusually exchanged a large amount of Qingyun Pill, but she did not use it for her own cultivation.
Now it seems that the "Fang Gongzi" of the guy in the Treasure Pavilion should be Fang Ye.
Fang Ye was originally supposed to be a monk, but for some reason he became what he is now, that ...... Ling Xia exchanged a large amount of Qingyun Pill for Fang Ye?What was Fang Ye's situation that required so many Qingyun Pills?What was the relationship between it and Qingyun Jue?
Xue Yun pursed his lips, a little hesitant in his heart.
Although Ling Xia is regarded as a life-saving grace of the shadow, she has won the gratitude of others, but she is not familiar with each other in the end, and she rashly asked about Qingyunjue......
But it has been so long since he left Cangzhou Lingling City, this is the only clue that Xue Yuan has found so far, so naturally he can't give up easily.
Think about it......
After putting on the wound medicine, Xue Yun put away the ointment, and was about to reach out to deal with the cloth, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and soon the wooden door was gently knocked.
"Xue Daoyou?"
It was Fang Ye's voice.
Xue Yun got up and walked over to open the door, and saw Fang Ye standing outside the door with a teapot and teacup in his hand, and smiled when he saw her open the door: "The humble house is simple, and there are no good things, a little coarse tea, I hope Xue Daoyou don't mind." ”
Xue Yun shook his head, turned sideways and asked Fang Ye to come in and put the tea on the table: "Fang Daoyou is polite, just call me Xue Yuan." ”
Fang Ye nodded: "Then Xue Yun just call me Fang Ye." ”
Xue Yun nodded, but his gaze went all the way down and fell on ......
followed Fang Ye to Xue Tuan'er in the house.
The dirt and dust on Xue Tuan'er's body have been cleaned up, and the white fluff has become neat and fluffy again, and the feeling is ......
Xue Yun coughed lightly, and took his eyes away from Xue Tuan'er, who was looking at Fang Ye pitifully with his head up, and seemed to be begging for a hug with difficulty, and happened to follow the door that had not been closed, and saw Ling Xia who was busy in front of the stove that had set up a roof in the courtyard.
"Hmm...... I'm already embarrassed to leave a chatter, I'll ...... I'll go and see if Ling Xia needs help. ”
After saying this, Xue Yun didn't wait for Fang Ye to answer, he walked out and went to Ling Xia.
At this time, the rain was a little heavier than before, and although the stove was in the yard, there was a shed to cover it, so I was not afraid of anything.
Ling Xia saw that Xue Yun came to help without hindrance, and there was nothing more, she still looked a little cold, until a moment later......
“...... You look pretty skilled. ”
Xue Yun paused slightly when he heard Ling Xia's voice, and continued to wash the materials in his hand and smiled: "Walking alone, this little bit of work always has to be mastered." ”
Ling Xia raised her eyebrows, glanced at Xue Yun deeply, and didn't say anything more.
Not only did the previous Senior Brother He think that Xue Yun might have a background, but Ling Xia also felt the same way. But at this time, I saw Xue Yuan, who she thought might be a real sister who was not well versed in the world, and she was very skilled in doing these chores......
It's a bit of a surprise.
This meal is simple, Xue Yuan is just a handicap, Ling Xia's skills are naturally not as good as Xiao Luo's, but the victory is very fast.
But......
When Xue Yuan, Ling Xia, and Fang Ye sat at the table in the main room together, Xue Yuan keenly noticed that Fang Ye's eyes seemed to have changed a little when he looked at her, and there was something more.
After chatting a few words, Xue Yun heard Fang Ye ask softly:
"I didn't ask much before...... Xue Yuan's surname is Xue, I don't know...... Can it be related to the Xue family in Mianzhou, one of the four major families?"
