Chapter 2 Meeting is parting
It was getting late, the sky was full of colors, and under the flowing clouds, the smoke was rising everywhere, and it was when the fire was lit in the ten thousand houses in the western mountains. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the faint night, the young man who had crossed the Wujiang River before, Liu Xi, looked at the messy house not far in front of him, stopped his figure, and wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Fortunately, he found such a town before dark, otherwise he would have to sleep in the woods again, the taste was extremely uncomfortable, and he was quite tired from the road for several days, and at this moment, what he wanted most was to take a hot bath and eat a few mouthfuls of hot soup.
Walking forward, perhaps because of the remoteness, it was not so much a town as a village where dozens of families gathered, and before the remnant sun receded in the sky, there was no longer half a figure in sight.
Looking at the surrounding messy and dilapidated courtyards, many families couldn't see a trace of firelight, and they were afraid that they couldn't bear the money for lamp oil, so they climbed into bed early before the black fog was thick.
After walking for a while, there was a slight aroma wafting in front of his nose that made Liu Xi suffer, but along the way, he couldn't see the place of the inn wine shop, and he couldn't help but secretly plan in his heart to stay in the people's house, and then ask for some food to deal with the hunger.
Just as he was thinking, a more magnificent courtyard appeared in front of him, the two lanterns in front of the courtyard had been lit, scattering a faint red halo, with a slight cool evening breeze blowing, the lanterns swayed, and the lights danced with it.
The smell of food in the courtyard is permeated, and there is even the sound of laughter, so it seems that you can try your luck and spend some money to spend a night here.
Thinking of this, Liu Xi was about to step forward, and when he was about to pick up the beast ring and knock on the door, his emaciated body trembled inexplicably, and his slender fingers stopped in mid-air.
The next moment, the beast ring landed on the vermilion wooden door, but Liu Xi was already a few feet away, and quickly walked towards the southeast of the town.
The strong 'Dragon and Snake Nine Changes' breath is Uncle Liu Han!
These days, Liu Xi has been tracking all the way from the Western Han Dynasty, just to find his uncle who suddenly said goodbye, and now that he has news of him, where will he care about being tired and tired, he has used all the energy in his body, and he can't wait to fly to the place where the breath comes from.
The white-clothed hunting sounded, and Liu Xi's body was covered with a layer of light light like flowing water, just like a frost falling from the nine clouds.
The body is like a meteor chasing the moon, speeding forward, and the toes of the toes step on the green bricks, leaving an inch-long crack.
Passing through several low-rise houses, Liu Xi was just about to turn into a narrow alleyway, but saw a black shadow in front of him rushing like lightning, and he was about to punch out.
"Ciel, it's me."
His most familiar voice sounded, Liu Xi hurriedly turned his body to the side, and smashed his fist with all his strength on the red brick mud wall on the side, and immediately the brick chips flew out, and the fist broke through the wall.
didn't care about the few blood marks on the back of his hand, followed Liu Han, and ran away quickly.
The two of them quickly walked a cup of tea, and Liu Han, who was in front of him, stopped his figure abruptly, looked around quickly, and then sighed and turned around and burrowed into the ruined temple on the left.
This is the land temple that protects the side, but the courtyard is cold, it has become decayed, the ashes have accumulated into soil, the cobwebs are dense, and a large hole has been exposed in the eaves, and the cold moonlight shines in from here.
"Uncle, what's the matter?"
Walking into the broken temple, Liu Xi couldn't wait to ask, these days, he has been thinking about why Liu Han left suddenly, and now the strong momentum around him made Liu Xi even more unbearable, blurted out, and expressed the doubts in his heart.
As soon as the words fell, he saw Liu Han stumble and almost fell to the ground, so startled that Liu Xi stepped forward quickly and supported him.
Through the quiet moonlight, Liu Xi saw the gentle smile that still raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes were still deep and bright, but there was more tiredness that could not be concealed, and his originally fair and handsome face became whiter and whiter.
This is a miserable white that makes people look panicked.
I haven't seen him for a month, and his once glorious uncle is so haggard, Liu Xi can't help but feel sour in his heart, and when his eyes move down again, he can't help but exclaim.
The cyan jacquard robe was stained with red blood, especially on the chest, where the red blood was still oozing out.
"Uncle ......"
Compared with Liu Xi's panic, Liu Han calmed down a lot, and stretched out his hand to stop the former who wanted to use his skills to heal his injuries, "It's useless, Xi'er, this is the true qi of the Dongtian master, don't waste your efforts in vain, you and I don't have much time, uncle will tell you all the things that have been hidden for more than ten years." ā
Hearing this, Liu Xi was stunned, since he was a child, he and Liu Han lived in the small town of Shuichuan City in the Western Han Dynasty, unlike those neighborhoods who run around for a living every day, Liu Han did not worry about money, in addition to teaching him martial arts and scriptures every day, he went to the teahouse to drink tea, and took the little lady who hooked up with the neighborhood.
Although he acted bohemianly, Liu Xi understood that his uncle was not simple, otherwise, how could he be both civil and military?
How many times, he asked the reason why the two lived in seclusion in the town, but Liu Han didn't want to say it, so he had to give up, and now when he heard about it again, Liu Xi couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart.
"Ahem......"
Liu Han's violent cough broke the silence in the temple, and also called Liu Xi's thoughts back, without wiping the blood on the side of his mouth, his face became rare and solemn, and he continued to speak, "Xi'er, remember what Uncle said below, because it is closely related to your fate in this life. ā
Listening to the seriousness that had never been seen in the words, Liu Xi nodded hurriedly and said, "The child should remember his uncle's words." ā
"Okay, Xi'er, you remember, your father is the prince of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qu; My mother is Xiao Zhen, the daughter of Xiao He, the imperial historian, and I am the third prince of the Han Dynasty, of course, these were all before that beast ascended the throne. ā
Speaking of this, Liu Han's eyes glared angrily, his eyes were full of murderous intent, it was the first time in so many years that Liu Xi had met his uncle who had been laughing freely all day long with such a terrifying expression.
Maybe it was really the time when it was time to delay, Liu Han's chest rose and fell quickly for a few breaths, and then he said calmly, "Back then, I was leading troops to fight with Li Tang in Wujiang, and suddenly heard the news of my father's death, and before I could react, I was ambushed again, and I almost died in Wujiang. ā
"Later, I escaped and rushed to Chang'an non-stop, but on the way, I heard the news that the prince's brother died of illness, and the beast ascended to the throne, and the court's ministers were not satisfied.
"A bunch of white-eyed wolves, ahem......"
The uncontrollable anger dissipated, followed by a cough, and a bewitching red appeared on Liu Han's miserable face, like a carmine plum that had gradually withered in the snow, and there was an indescribable heart-wrenching pain in his eyes.
The powerful aura was getting closer and closer, and even Liu Xi could clearly feel that the cultivation of people was extremely terrifying, but he stopped when he stayed ten feet outside the temple.
For some reason, he stopped moving forward.
"The brute hasn't come yet, they won't do it, but it's coming soon, so I'll have to cut it short. Xi'er, you once asked your uncle, what is the most powerful exercise in the world? At that time, I didn't say that in fact, there is no such thing as the most powerful exercises in this world.
All things have different paths, and cultivation is no exception, and any kind of exercise can reach the realm of breaking the void. Although the 'Dragon and Snake Nine Changes' is more ordinary and different, it is much more difficult to practice than ordinary exercises, so it is higher than others in the realm, but it does not mean that it is unrivaled in power, and you still need to be cautious in the future. ā
"Do you remember the major sects that your uncle mentioned to you?"
Liu Xi, who had not spoken out all this time, nodded hurriedly, "Remember, Confucianism, Taoism, soldiers, medicine, miscellaneous, law, yin and yang, vertical and horizontal, Mohist and novelists, nine streams and ten families." ā
"That's right, it's them, except for Confucianism, which was prominent in the Han Dynasty, there is no trace of any other sects, but Xi'er, you have to remember that if you encounter disciples of these sects in the future, don't act impulsively, because each of them can destroy a world. A few days ago, when I sneaked to Chang'an to explore the events of the year, I heard that there was a Buddhist family in the northern Xiongnu, who came from the Western Regions, and it was also an amazing existence. ā
Stretching out his hand dyed bright red and blood-colored, Liu Han took out a palm-sized jade piece from his arms, the whole body was dark green, and a trace of swimming red mist was wrapped inside, and on top of the jade piece stood a long roaring winged tiger.
"Xi'er, my uncle has never told you, in fact, I am a soldier walking in the world of 'breaking the army', this tiger talisman is a token, the changes of the year caught people off guard, so I suspect that the soldier family has a traitor, so I did not dare to contact the sect again. You take this, if you have difficulties, go to Xinyang City's 'Strange Xuan', there may be people you can trust, but you need to be more vigilant. ā
Saying that, Liu Han's face changed suddenly, and he stuffed the tiger talisman to Liu Xi, looking around very anxiously, and then walked to the land god statue with a broken arm not far away, and hit it with one palm, and the tall god statue suddenly moved away.
Immediately, Liu Han's right foot stepped on the ground, and a powerful momentum erupted, mud and rocks flew, and a big pit appeared on the ground.
And he was injured because of his luck, and blood came out of his mouth.
"Xi'er, you hide in, hold your breath, and don't come out no matter what happens."
No matter how stupid Liu Xi is, he understands the meaning of these words, which is clearly saying goodbye to him, and immediately stubbornly stood in place and shook his head, "Uncle, the child will live and die with you." ā
The face as white as snow bloomed with a gentle and intoxicating smile like in the past, and Liu Han's eyes were full of tenderness, "Xi'er, you have to live, so that when the things of the year come to a conclusion, my uncle can also feel at ease." ā
After saying this, Liu Han pulled Liu Xi's sleeve and led him to the dirt pit, and the hand that was once very warm was now with a hint of coolness.
"Uncle ......"
Liu Xi understood that this decision could not be changed, and he suddenly felt very sour in his heart, and the struggle that he wanted to fight the crisis but was unable to do it made him very uncomfortable.
When Liu Xi jumped into the pit, Liu Han seemed to remember something, and took out a sachet from his arms, embroidered with gold silk and Tilian, this sachet he often saw, in the past when there was no one in the silence, Liu Han often caressed it in his hand, his face was sad, and there was sadness in his eyes.
It seems that at that moment, the ordinary laughter and scolding do not exist, and it seems that this sachet has an untiring knot for him.
"Xi'er, if there is a fate in the future, you see the eldest princess Li Tang, Li Yunying, and give her the sachet, and say that I, Liu Han, am ashamed of her in this life."
Sighing, the desolate look in Liu Han's eyes was fleeting, the smile on his face was still there, and his eyes were staring at Liu Xi, as if he wanted to look at the boy who had been raised for eighteen years.
"Stay alive ......"
After saying this, Liu Xi, who was in the dirt pit, wanted to say something, but saw a black shadow floating overhead, but it was the idol that was pushed back.
There was darkness all around, Liu Xi's heart was blocked, and he wanted to break out of the ground, but this would only ruin his uncle's efforts over the years.
Gritting his teeth, before he knew it, tears were falling.
