Chapter 82: Scarlet Memory
Huan Wen's goal has always been very simple, and Xie Xiaoman's is actually the same.
"Originally, I just wanted to live lazily and do what I loved, just simply. Practicing or something, it was just a mistake to get on the thief ship, and I thought it was interesting at the time, so I got in, but when I got closer, I found that this girl turned out to be a bonfire-like thing. If you are far away, you can still keep warm, but you can get in, but you can easily burn yourself. ”
Xie Xiaoman looked at Xue Zicheng in front of him, eating breakfast and chatting with him.
Xue Zicheng was not eating, because what Xie Xiaoman was eating was his share.
"Until now, I have never known much about the cultivation of this matter. You cut your wrists and bled again that day, what the hell happened? Can you tell me about it? Oh, I didn't mean to get into any secrets, but I was just curious, so just ask, and if it's not convenient to say, forget it. Xie Xiaoman said.
Xue Zicheng looked at her and still didn't speak.
Xie Xiaoman stuck out his tongue at him, stretched out in boredom, and got up to leave: "Okay, okay!" Thank you for the breakfast! ”
"Where's Miss Xia?" As Xie Xiaoman was about to take the last step out of the tent, Xue Zicheng finally spoke.
Xie Xiaoman came back with a smile, returned to the place and sat down obediently: "She went out last night, I don't know when she will come back, but it should be soon." ”
Xue Zicheng was slightly silent, and looked at him left and right: "Lord Xi doesn't like you to stay in the barracks, you and Miss Xia...... After all, it's a woman's body. ”
"I know." Xie Xiaoman blinked, "Master Xi has already told me three times. Now that you've said it again, it seems that he really doesn't like letting me mess around here. But what I'm curious to know is...... Why. ”
Xie Xiaoman stared at Xue Zicheng's eyes. It seems that I want to see the flowers in it.
Of course, there were no flowers in Xue Zicheng's eyes, so Xue Zicheng didn't speak.
Xie Xiaoman felt a little bored, and suddenly got up: "Wait for Xia Hua to come back...... We should be leaving, don't worry. ”
Xue Zicheng looked down at her shadow, thought for a while, and still didn't take out the "blinding".
Outside, the sound of soldiers drilling, and the patrol on duty was replaced. At this time, the handover is underway.
The sunlight was not strong and spilled in through the gap in the door curtain, shining Xie Xiaoman's shadow obliquely and obliquely, looking a little lonely.
Xie Xiaoman did feel a little lonely. So she turned away, and this time it was true.
"Actually, there's not much to say. Practicing this kind of thing, although the basis is the same. But everyone is able to use it differently. The sigil can be used as a medium. Weapons can be used as a medium, and I use blood as a medium, and that's it. Xue Zicheng opened his mouth, and this time it was true.
In other words, aura is the foundation, and the talisman and blood are the application. Does the economic base determine the superstructure? ”
Xue Zicheng blinked.
"Then ......," Xie Xiaoman thought for a moment, "You know from the sect, with your ability." In the Congzong Temple, what kind of walk is it? ”
"I haven't been there in years. It's probably three or four, almost. ”
"Wow, that's amazing." Xie Xiaoman's eyes lit up, "That's in Jiankang City...... No, in the entire Jin Dynasty, there shouldn't be many people who are better than you. ”
Xue Zicheng looked at Xie Xiaoman's eyes, and was extremely serious: "It's not a lot." ”
Xie Xiaoman's eyes brightened: "So, how powerful is the most powerful person?" ”
"Since you know about the Cong Sect, you should have heard of the head of the Cong Sect. Among the practitioners who have entered the world today, they regard him as respectful. ”
"So how good is he? His cultivation, in the world of tranquility, how much darkness is there? Xie Xiaoman felt that his throat was a little dry.
Xue Zicheng looked at her and shook his head seriously, very seriously.
Xie Xiaoman felt that Xue Zicheng's expression was a little strange, especially the smell in his eyes, as if he wanted to tell him something, but he couldn't see anything.
Of course, Xie Xiaoman's heart was full of too many things, so although she noticed it, she didn't take it seriously.
"What about then? What does it look like? You always know that, right? Xie Xiaoman was a little anxious and slightly flustered.
Xue Zicheng looked at her as if he were looking at a poor dying hare, and shook his head.
"That head of the courtyard was seriously injured more than ten years ago, and although his cultivation has not dissipated, he is already in his last years after all."
A soft female voice came, Xia Hua lifted the curtain and walked in with a smile.
"The cultivators of the Central Plains are actually very pitiful, they are limited by their own abilities, and they can only take an ordinary path. Although this way of exhaling the aura of heaven and earth is very simple and can be used at any time, it requires too much time. This is why very few cultivators in the Central Plains are able to truly reach the height of the mountains. ”
Xia Hua turned her head sideways, looked at Xie Xiaoman, who was slightly pale next to her, like an eldest sister, and rubbed Xie Xiaoman's head dotingly: "You are really naughty enough, if you want to ask about this kind of thing, why do you want to ask others?" Won't I tell you, you ask me? After all, you are your daughter's family, how can you share a room with Lord Xue? Let's go back with me! Master Xue, it's really annoying. ”
Xia Hua smiled, bowed to Xue Zi, and was about to take Xie Xiaoman's hand, very casually, revealing a bit of intimacy.
Xie Xiaoman pretended not to see it and ignored it.
She bowed slightly at Xue Zicheng, turned around and left.
"It's really a child, such a temper makes Lord Xue laugh." Xia Hua smiled and groaned, and then came out.
The autumn sun tossed up with the door curtain, like a pool of spring water that had been disturbed, broken and dripping.
Xue Zicheng looked at the door curtain that was still shaking slightly, and his heart was complicated.
It happened right under his nose, but it wasn't something he could manage, and it wasn't something he needed to manage.
Xue Zicheng's mind was a little messy, and he remembered some pictures from the past, those snow-white and blood-colored dry bones and severed limbs, like nightmares, turned back to the surface of memory.
He began to sweat, cold sweats, and his breathing became rapid.
When was that? Decade? Twenty years? Still is...... More?
At that time, he was just a teenager, and he was touted by everyone with the words "Tianzhong Talent", and he thought that he was really something that heaven and earth should be afraid of.
At that time, there was still that figure in front of me, tall and majestic, but it gradually stood in front of me, as if it could hold up a whole piece of sky.
At that time, everyone next to me thought that they would create history and make something that would be praised and yearned for by future generations, and future generations would be enthusiastic when they talked about it. But...... Actually?
Xue Zicheng touched his left chest, where was there a wound, if it wasn't for luck, if it weren't for that light and breezy figure, he would have sunk into the ghost world with this wound.
No, perhaps, even the ghost world can't keep the soul, I'm afraid that the soul will be scattered directly.
How many people were buried in that heavy snowfall.
In the entire Central Plains, has anyone really figured it out......
"Lord Xue, are you running out of breakfast? Need us to come in and clean up? ”
The guard outside the door whispered, pulling him out of the sea of bloody memories.
Taking a deep breath, Xue Zicheng tried his best to make his pale face the same as usual: "Come in." ”
The guard answered, came in to pick up things, and couldn't help but gossip.
"The brothers in the camp all said that if they hadn't been taken care of by Lord Xue that night, they would all be buried at the bottom of the river now. Lord Xue, what is in the river? It won't be the guy from Yan Kingdom! ”
The guards saw that Xue Zicheng's face was slightly pale, but they didn't have any suspicions, they just thought that he had lost too much blood that night, and his body bones would naturally not be too tough at this time.
"Where did you hear that?" Xue Zicheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"That's what the brothers in the camp say...... To tell you the truth, Lord Xue, it is the first time that I have followed General Huan for so many years and fought with other armies. The brothers are a little unaccustomed. ”
Xue Zicheng smiled and comforted: "I don't understand the matter of marching, but since General Huan has arranged it like this, he naturally has his reasons." When you say this, aren't you saying that you can't trust General Huan? ”
"How dare we! It's just those little cubs of the Xianbei tribe, who can believe it? And their general, what is Murong Ke's name? I took a look at it from afar, beautiful like a girl, how can I lead soldiers to fight! ”
The soldiers are upright, and Xue Zicheng has had a lot of contact with them, but he doesn't care about these foul words. just smiled: "How can you say that you are also the first general of Yanyun, not to mention the vision of General Huan?" Of course, I don't understand these things, but I know what is going on on the river. What kind of Yan army troubles, if they can make such ghosts, they don't have to fight, just find some Yin Si soldiers, these three thousand miles of mountains and rivers are not like exploring the bag and taking things? ”
"Hey, hey! We don't understand this, we just can't look down on those Yan Jun! The guard touched the back of his neck and smiled heartily.
"You know the Battle of Red Cliffs, right? It was the Great War of the Three Kingdoms. The place where the water monster was made before was the location of the burning of Chibi, and the soul sank into the river, and after a long time, no one exceeded it. Naturally, the souls will form a group, accumulate more and more, and eventually become ghosts. Xue Zicheng sighed and smiled, "Actually, they are all poor people." ”
"Hey!" The guard had a kind of sad sentimentality of a dead rabbit and a fox, patted his thigh and sighed.
Xue Zicheng smiled: "Don't think about what you have or don't have, explain it clearly to your brothers." It's okay not to have too much mustard, especially with Yan Jun, who will have to eat and live together for a period of time in the future, and the faces of the generals on both sides are not good-looking. ”
"Got it!" The guards hurriedly came down and said with a smile, "It's still Lord Xue's skills." It's good that we have Master Xue in the army, what kind of Counselor Xie is, I see, it's just a guy who is indiscriminate! It's annoying to watch! (To be continued......)
