Text Chapter 18 Encounter with a Girl

It is estimated that there is still more than half a month before the opening of Sisheng Academy, so Li Yun said goodbye to his parents and a group of villagers and went to Nanyang County alone. Li Rong was originally clamoring to follow, but Li Yun calmed her down before she stopped pestering. The main reason why she is no longer entangled is that Li Yun entrusted her to take good care of "Lightning" and "Little Tiger" at home and help maintain her weapons. These two animals are also human, knowing that Li Yun is leaving, they keep whispering and reluctantly.

Li Yun was dressed as a scholar, carrying a box with some change of clothes and a few books and other items, and walked calmly along the official road to the north. He decided to try not to use the exercises and martial arts as much as possible in this experience, and to experience the various states of life like an ordinary person. Away from the busy and noisy life of the militia for more than half a year, it seems that everything has returned to the ease and leisure of the previous travels. Only this time, without the careful guidance of the master, and without the hardships of training in a harsh environment, everything is new and unknown.

Li Yun couldn't help but look back in the direction of Lijia Village, the starting point of his life, and remembered everything he had experienced in his short sixteen years of life, his parents, his master, relatives and friends, and the militia. Farewell, hometown! Clean up the troubles of youth, rekindle the fighting spirit towards a new journey, and move forward!

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was still hot and boring, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. He looked back and saw that a dozen fast horses were galloping towards him, lined up in three rows, almost occupying the official road, galloping all the way. The first one was only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing thin silk clothes, and at first glance he was a child of a rich and noble family, and he was used to flying and domineering, and when he saw Li Yun, he didn't slow down, and rushed straight over. Li Yun hurriedly flashed to the side of the road, and the horse team kicked up a cloud of dust and came to his face, making him dusty.

Li Yun scolded: "Lack of morality! "I thought I was unlucky and slapped the dust on my body. Unexpectedly, these words drifted to the ears of the leading young man, he turned his horse's head, returned to Li Yun, pointed at Li Yun with a horsewhip and said angrily: "The country boy is so daring, he dares to scold me, I think you are tired of life!" Kneel down and kowtow to me immediately to apologize, otherwise you will die! Li Yun looked at this kid's roe deer head and rat eyes, looking like a cat playing with a mouse. The dozen or so guard-like people around were also laughing, knowing that the young master was bored on the road and wanted to have some fun. Li Yun pretended to be stunned and said, "Why? The road is facing the sky, each going to one side, you have made me dirt, and you still don't want me to complain? After saying that, he took a few steps back as if he was afraid. Whoa! Dare to pout! As he spoke, the young man raised his whip and struck at Li Yun. Li Yun hurriedly dodged when he saw it, pretending to be embarrassed, and the guards around him laughed.

At that moment, three more men came on horseback. First, a woman wore a light veil and was slender; There are a man and a woman on the left and right guards, both of whom are in their thirties, heroic, and their martial arts are not weak at a glance. The three of them rushed to the front and saw the young man playing with Li Yun, and the woman said angrily: "It's bullying the good people again!" "The voice is pleasant, and he doesn't seem to be very old. I saw her whip rolled, and she snatched the young man's whip from him.

The young man was playing, and suddenly saw someone blocking him, he was already furious, and when he heard the woman's voice, he immediately became lustful, abandoned Li Yun, and said to his subordinates: "Give it to me!" Take this little down! A group of guards immediately drew their swords and pressed forward. The woman said contemptuously: "I don't know whether to live or die!" The two guards around him rushed forward with their swords, killing and wounding several people on the spot. The boy shouted, "You are so bold! We're from the county guard! One of the guards beside the young man saw the green lotus tattoo on her arm when the female guard swung her sword, and said in horror: "They are from the Qinglian Sect!" "Turn around and run away. When the woman who took the lead heard this, she said, "Since you recognize us, you don't have to leave, and you won't leave any of them!" After saying that, the three of them rushed forward, displayed their clever martial arts, and killed more than a dozen guards with ordinary martial arts. The arrogant young man collapsed to the ground in fright, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Spare your life!" Spare your life! I'm the little master of the county guard, and if you kill me, you'll be in big trouble! The woman whispered, "Did you think about sparing someone's life when you killed someone just now?" Be a good person in your next life! Then he stabbed the boy to death.

Li Yun quietly watched the battle between the two sides until the boy was killed, as if he was stunned. The female guard pointed her sword at Li Yun and said to the girl, "What should I do about this?" If you don't kill it, I'm afraid it will leak the news! The girl looked at Li Yun's appearance, and seemed to have an inexplicable good feeling, so she said: "This is a nerd, we don't kill innocent people!" She said to Li Yun again: "You go quickly, don't tell others what happened here, otherwise you will get into trouble!" Then he and the two guards quickly dealt with the scene and rode away.

Li Yun felt that what had just happened was like a dream, and only the faint fragrance and blood in the air proved the existence of the matter. Remembering that Uncle Tang had also spread the Qinglian Sect when he came back a few years ago, Li Yun was also a little curious about the Qinglian Sect, he felt that this woman's status in the sect was not low, and the Qinglian Sect was so fierce, I am afraid it was not an ordinary sect.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Li Yun hurriedly continued to hurry. When it was almost dark, he saw an inn of considerable scale, Li Yun saw that it was getting late, and he was no longer in a hurry, so he went into the hotel to stay and chose the cheapest room to live in. Seeing a few horses tied to the stables in the backyard, Li Yun recognized them as the horses of the three Qinglian Sect, looked around, and did not see them.

In the middle of the night, Li Yun suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and it seemed that dozens of people surrounded the inn, and a team of people with swords in their hands searched room by room viciously. Suddenly, the doors of the innermost two rooms suddenly opened, and the three people of the Qinglian Sect rushed out from inside, and killed the three of them with their swords one after another. Dozens of other people immediately surrounded them, and the leaders were two tall and strong men, both of whom were armed with single knives, and at first glance they were masters of both internal and external cultivation. The girl from the Blue Lotus Sect said, "What a big battle! It turned out that the second protector of the Tongtian Sect, Chen Tong, and the third protector Zhao Hu had arrived! You and I teach our own teachings, and it is better if the well water does not interfere with the river water! That Chen Tong said: "My Tongtian Sect Master's mana is boundless, and the whole world should believe in the Sect Master!" Your Qinglian Sect does not respect the sect master, and the devil confuses the people, and it should be abolished by the decree of the sect master! You should see the situation today, either join my religion or die! The girl smiled contemptuously: "Then I want to see the means of the second protector!" "The two sides fought together.

Li Yun quietly packed his bags and walked out of the room, hiding to the side to watch. I saw that although the Qinglian Sect girl had slightly higher martial arts, there were few people in the end, and she gradually fell into the downwind, stumbling left and right, and was in danger. The two guards seemed to be husband and wife, and hurriedly said to the girl: "The holy woman quickly withdraws first, and the two of us resist for a while, and then meet separately!" The girl didn't drag the mud and water, and quickly evacuated outside the store after a slam blow. The two Dharma protectors ignored the couple and immediately led people to chase after them.

When Li Yun saw it, he also took a headscarf to cover his face, and chased him out while he was unprepared. After only a while, I saw a fire in front of me, and the girl was surrounded in the middle, her left shoulder was already injured and bleeding, and she was about to be captured. Li Yun was in a hurry, and he didn't care about hiding his martial arts, so he used light skills and rushed forward. Clapping his palms left and right, he created a passage, and when the girl was knocked down by a palm, she rushed to the front of the two Dharma protectors, and punched them with her left palm and right fist, knocking them back. He picked up the girl and rushed to the mountain forest in front of him, and soon disappeared into the dense forest. Seeing that the Tongtian Sect was about to succeed, they were suddenly destroyed by someone, and they were extremely angry, and they searched for a long time but did not find it, so they had to give up.

But it was said that Li Yun was holding the girl, roughly discerning the direction of the north, and ran straight forward. After walking for about fifty miles, I climbed several mountains and came to a stop at a mountain hut. The cottage seems to have been uninhabited for a while, but the facilities inside are pretty basic. In the faint moonlight, Li Yun put the girl on the bed, took out a candle from the box and lit it, and observed the girl's situation. Because of the injury and coma, the veil has fallen off at some point, just look at the dim light, melon seed face, straight nose bridge, fair skin, blowing blown, facial features are extremely exquisite, it is a beauty of the disaster of the country and the people. Li Yun couldn't help but feel a little stupid in his heart, and his face immediately became hot, and he didn't dare to look at her face again. Carefully observe her injuries, the girl's injuries are not light, a deep wound was cut on her shoulder, and a palm in her back made her vomit blood from internal injuries.

Li Yun hesitated for a while before taking out his spare wound medicine, cutting the clothes on the girl's shoulders with a dagger, applying the wound medicine to the girl's wound, and then wrapping it in clean gauze and tying it tightly. The girl's skin was delicate and silky, slightly exuding a fragrance, and Li Yun's heart couldn't help but pound. Yun Gong calmed his mood, he took out the internal injury medicine again, and gently fed the girl to eat. Although the girl was unconscious, she seemed to feel that someone was helping her to heal her injuries, and instinctively cooperated. After dealing with it, Li Yun felt a little tired, so he sat cross-legged and rested.

As soon as the sky was bright, Li Yun saw that the girl had not woken up yet, so he went out to look for food and water. He fetched a bag of spring water, a few pheasants and hares, cleaned up and went back to the hut. As soon as he entered the door, a sword suddenly stabbed him, but fortunately, Li Yun had a keen perception, dodged his body, and snatched the sword with his hand.

"Is that you?" The girl seemed a little surprised that the boy she inadvertently rescued yesterday turned out to be a master. "You saved me? Did you bandage my wound? Li Yun nodded. The girl said, "Do you know who I am?" Li Yun nodded. I should have killed you! Li Yun nodded again. Are you mute? Li Yun nodded, and as if he had reacted, he hurriedly shook his head. The girl saw Li Yun nodding and shaking her head, and laughed out loud. This smile seemed to make everything lose its color, and Li Yun couldn't help but look stunned again! It seemed that this laughter involved the wound, the girl's brows furrowed, and Li Yun hurriedly asked with concern, "How does the wound feel?" The girl gave him a blank look, "I want you to take care of it!" Li Yun smiled.

With the water that Li Yun fetched, the girl took a pill she brought, and her internal injuries seemed to be much better. Li Yun roasted pheasants and hares in the fire pit in the middle of the house, and he learned the art of barbecue when he traveled with the Taoist, took out some spices and sprinkled them, and gradually the fragrance became fragrant. The girl's stomach growled twice, she glanced at Li Yun, Li Yun smiled, took a roasted rabbit leg and handed it to the girl. The two of them had been fighting and running away the previous night, and they had consumed a lot of money, and they had quickly eaten a few pheasants and hares.

After staying in the mountains for a few days, under Li Yun's careful care, the girl's internal injuries gradually healed, and the external injuries have also scarred, the two are like a small couple in the mountains, the man goes out to hunt and fish, and the woman cleans up at home, and the cooperation gradually becomes tacit, as if one look knows what the other party wants to do. Li Yun has never felt like he is excited every day, as if he has endless energy. For the first time, he let go of his heart, told her his name, and also told her that he was going to study at Sisheng Academy in Nanyang County. Although the girl was still a little melancholy in her eyes, she also seemed to be very happy to listen to Li Yun tell her own story and watch Li Yun busy.

The girl said to Li Yun, "My name is Guo Chan, and I am the holy daughter of the Qinglian Sect. She seemed to be taboo about the affairs of the Qinglian Sect, and was unwilling to talk deeply about the affairs of the sect, but just told Li Yun that they believed in the Holy Mother of the Blue Lotus, and believed that the Holy Mother of the Blue Lotus would come to remove the filth and injustice of the world and build a peaceful and happy world. Tongtian Sect believes in the god Maitreya, believing that the god Maitreya will come to the world and restore peace after killing all the grievances. The two sects fought each other because of their different doctrines and conflicts of interest caused by the competition for the congregation, and this time the Tongtian Sect pursued and killed her, a holy woman, which represented that the contradiction was further intensified.

The girl's injuries were almost healed, she separated from Li Yun and said, "I still have something to go, thank you for saving me!" I won't say anything in return, I will repay you for saving your life if I have the chance! We are people of two worlds, and we don't know if there will be a day when we will see each other again! Don't tell people you know me, it's not good for you. He didn't seem to dare to look at Li Yun's eyes, and left directly without looking back. The girl walked away, turned back and said, "Maybe we'll meet again in Nanyang County." After saying that, he smiled and disappeared quickly.

Li Yun looked at the direction in which the girl disappeared, stunned. Think of it as a beautiful dream! He also packed his things, looked at everything in the house reluctantly, as if he wanted to remember everything here, and then left a little silver tael, found the direction of Nanyang County, and walked forward firmly.
