38. The world
More than a dozen zhang apart, the voice was clear in the ears, and it spread far and wide, so that there was a commotion in the carriage, Zhang Xiaohu clenched his fists even more, and vigilantly transported the thunderous true qi in his body.
The person in front of him is not easy to mess with.
What's even more surprising is that this sword monarch who acted indifferently in the past really has an old man in the rivers and lakes?
In the carriage, Liu Zhuoran, who was comforting his parents, heard the sound and raised his head, he had changed into clean clothes at this time, and his hair was tied back up, tied into a ponytail and hung behind him.
He wanted to go out and see him, but his tearful mother held his wrist tightly.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, this old lady of the Liu family is really worried that her precious son will encounter misfortune tonight.
Even if Liu Zhuoran practiced in Penglai all the year round, he didn't return home for a long time, and he was very close to his relatives at home.
But the grace of nurturing cannot be erased no matter what.
"Mother rest assured."
Liu Zhuoran took a deep breath, he held his mother's hands, and said softly:
"That's a... The old man is not a bad person. ”
Seeing her son, who had always been indifferent, speaking so gently, the tears of the old lady of the Liu family flowed down again.
After Liu Zhuoran left the carriage, the old lady snorted and said to her husband, who was Liu Zhuoran's biological father:
"My son has suffered this time, but it doesn't seem like a bad thing, looking at his current appearance, my son is indeed more like a big living person than the indifferent posture before."
Liu's father did not answer.
When he was young, he was also in charge of the South China Sea Sword Sect, and he had seen the world.
With a sword in his hand, he soothed his old wife, looked out of the carriage, and twisted his beard and said:
"That's true, alas, in the early years, let the Penglai people take Zhuo Ran away, at that time you and I were happy for my son's future, but now it seems that it is really not a good thing.
Alas, my Liu family is in trouble, but fortunately my family is safe, if Zhuo Ran can live in peace, I really don't want to think about anything else. ”
Outside the convoy, Liu Zhuoran got out of the car.
He has a strange poison in his body, and there are red dust Gu in his body, which makes him very weak, like an old man, he can only walk forward with a cane.
Under Zhang Xiaohu's escort, he walked up to the young man and looked at the forest under the moon, where there were still some corpses everywhere.
Looking at the clothes of those corpses, they should also be local gang members in Quanzhou, and there are some low-ranking and prodigal people like city fox and rats.
"Brother Xie Huaqing helped."
Liu Zhuoran was supported by Zhang Xiaohu and bowed to the son in front of him.
That son is the heir of Kunlun Xianchi who left Qilu and disappeared.
"I told you a long time ago that there are no good people in your Penglai Division."
Hua Qing looked at the sword monarch who was outstanding in the past, and today he still has to walk with a cane, and he is also a relative in his heart.
He closed the folding fan, questioned him, and said to Liu Zhuoran:
"When you and I first met Suzhou, you also said that I was suspicious, saying that my Kunlun Xianchi was jealous of you Penglai, now what?
Do you understand it now? ”
Liu Zhuoran was silent.
Although he was expelled from the master, his feelings for his master Dong Lingjun are still there, even if the master and apprentice are both indifferent people, but at this time, he wants to say that Penglai is not a good person.
He really couldn't say it.
Seeing that Liu Zhuoran didn't answer, Hua Qing laughed twice, changed the topic and said:
"Brother Liu has suffered, but he is more down-to-earth than before, and now he knows how to thank people, which is really rare."
Hua Qing lowered her voice and said:
"You Penglai has a secret, I don't know if you know it, but now is not the time to speak, let you say it now, you definitely don't want to say it.
I'm here to protect your family and let you have no worries.
I only ask you, can the poison in your body be cured? ”
"Yes."
Liu Zhuoran smiled bitterly and said:
"That man worked hard to abolish my martial arts, but he also gave me a way to save me, in the land of Qilu, there is a descendant of the medicine king, who can cure strange poisons."
"Then go!"
Hua Qing raised the fan in her hand and said to Liu Zhuoran:
"Your family, I will escort you to the South China Sea, you and this brother will go to Qilu to seek medical treatment, and when the matter is over, I will go to you again."
But then you will know everything about me!
Would you like to? ”
Liu Zhuoran did not answer immediately.
He thought for a moment, then looked at Hua Qing again, and said:
"Brother Huaqing, tell me honestly, Kunlun Xianchi sent you down the mountain to travel, is it just to spy on Penglai news?"
"It's not."
Hua Qing denied it, he said:
"It's just that I have doubts in my heart, when I was young, I heard an elder say that Penglai was a secret matter, everyone is a disciple of Xianmen, so I have the heart to investigate one or two.
If it's really related to the fairy road, it's an unexpected joy. ”
While the two were talking, they heard the sound of galloping horses behind them, Hua Qing looked behind her, and saw Yi Sheng riding on a horse, and Xiao Tie carrying a sword box on his back, following closely behind.
In a blink of an eye, you can't find a good horse.
Ordinary horses can't bear the weight of the small iron and the giant que, so he can only run and follow.
Fortunately, Xiao Tie has a huge body, and he learned from Shen Qiu that he is good at long-distance running snow steps, but it is not slower than galloping horses.
"Yo, isn't this Xiao Tie?"
Hua Qing saw the acquaintance, so he beckoned, Xiao Tie over there also saw Hua Qing, he was also happy, quickened his pace, a few ups and downs, like a boulder landing, was smashing on Hua Qing's side.
After this fall, the falling snow step from the inheritance of the immortal family no longer has the feeling of passing away, and it was forced to be used by Xiao Tie with a domineering aura.
"Brother Hua, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why did you come to Quanzhou?"
"I've been traveling in Liangguang all these days, and this is a coincidence of encountering the Sword Monarch's suffering. But Xiao Tie, you are not secretive, and it is not enough to break the Haisha Gang.
The city fox society rats in Quanzhou City are all staring at him. ”
Hua Qing put a fan and said to Xiao Tie with a smile.
His eyes were always squinted, and he opened them a little, glanced at the hilt of the giant sword behind Xiao Tie, and then glanced back at Liu Zhuoran.
The latter gave him a look.
Meaning, don't ask now, I don't know.
"Since they're all acquaintances, then I won't talk much nonsense."
Hua Qing took the lead and said to Xiao Tie:
"You escort Jianjun to Qilu to seek medical treatment, you are familiar over there, and your third uncle takes care of you, it is easy to find someone. The remaining two brothers went with me to escort the Liu family to the South China Sea.
I heard that the scenery of Bijia Mountain is beautiful, and the South China Sea Sword School has inherited swordsmanship, as well as the rivers and lakes are easy to mention, so I want to appreciate one or two this time.
Would you like to wait? ”
Xiao Tie is willing.
He trusts Hua Qing.
And Zhang Xiaohu and Yi Sheng were a little hesitant, they didn't know Hua Qing, they didn't know which one it was.
I only know that the person in front of me looks very powerful.
"Brother Hua is a descendant disciple of Kunlun Immortal Pond, and he is also a member of the Immortal Sect."
Xiao Tie introduced the two of them:
"He fought with me and my eldest brother in Qilu, he is a warm-hearted person, and his means are superb, he is a real master of the land list, and he has the morality of the rivers and lakes, Xiaohu and Xiaosheng don't have to have any doubts."
"Then, then go with us?"
Zhang Xiaohu felt that helping people should be helped to the end.
On the side of the anti-justice brother, Hanxiang's sister-in-law has only just become pregnant, even if they stay in the South China Sea for a long time, they can't miss the day when their nephew or niece is born.
Anyway, I have come to Liangguang, and it is not bad to take this opportunity to go to the South China Sea and see more markets.
"It's all up to you, I have no opinion."
Yi Sheng is even more careless, and it is rare to see the master of the place in front of him, the disciples of the Xianmen look very kind, walking together, there will be a fate.
He is not against it.
"Then Brother Liu, what do you say?"
Hua Qing opened the fan with a snort, and he looked at Liu Zhuoran.
The latter was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, then remember my two agreements.
On another day, I will look for you again and ask about the secret of Penglai, and in addition, along the way, don't play with the arrogant and cold nature of your Penglai heir.
If you want to be kind, you should be close to the little iron brothers.
He is chivalrous and courageous, but he is a hot-blooded person, and he is definitely worth dating. ”
------------------------
At this time, outside the city of Quanzhou, on the dock.
Although not at the same time.
But it's really the same pier.
At the edge of the pier near the sea, in the sound of the tide, an old man in black dressed in Miao costume, smoking a dry cigarette and carrying a wooden box on his shoulder.
Completely ignoring the noise of the Sea Sand Gang behind him, and the smell of blood in the salty and humid air.
He's here to deliver something.
And the owner of the goods is right in front of him.
"Smack"
The wooden box was thrown forward, and in the darkness he reached out and held the wooden box in his hand.
"The shrine maiden said it."
The old man took the cigarette stick, shook it casually, added new tobacco, lit it, took a puff, and then said to the man in the dark in Chinese with a serious accent:
"Forget it this time, if you dare to send someone into Miao Jiang next time, the witch will take the black and white Gu Master to your Penglai for a turn."
"Yuejun, dead?"
In the darkness, there was a faint voice.
He took a few steps forward, half of his body exposed to the fire of the docks, and he could vaguely see the expressionless face, and the neatly combed bun, and the white hair that was scattered over his shoulders.
It's just a few days since I saw him, and this Dong Lingjun is like a teenager old.
In the face of his inquiry, the old Gu Master of Miao Jiang laughed, and his dark face was full of playfulness.
He said:
"Why is the Immortal Chief so surprised? If he dares to enter Miaojiang, doesn't he already have a determination to die? Isn't it normal to be dead? ”
"Qingyang Mountain Range, when did it become the land of Miao Jiang?"
Dong Lingjun said in a hoarse voice:
"Does the Tongtang witch really think that she is invincible in the world?"
"Immortal Chief's words are not good."
The Gu Master spat out the smoke ring, waved his hand, and said with an indifferent expression:
"The witch has never said that she is invincible in the world, and the whole world knows that there is only one person who is invincible in the world, and that person has been missing for ten years.
As for Qingyang Mountain...
The witch said that it was the land of Miaojiang, so it was naturally there!
If you are not convinced, you can go to the shrine maiden and explain it to your face. I don't even have a city gate in Phoenix City, everyone in the world comes and goes freely, and if the immortal chief has questions, you might as well ask yourself. ”
Dong Lingjun was holding the wooden box in his hand, and there was the Ling Xuan Sword in the wooden box, if he really wanted to do it, the black-clothed old Gu Master in front of him couldn't survive five moves.
But there was no fear on the Gu Master's old face.
He knew that as long as Dong Lingjun dared to make a move tonight, when his head hit the ground, it would be the time for Wu Gu Dao and Penglai to start a war!
It is clear that there are many people and ruthless means.
It's bullying you, what's wrong with you!
"Zhang Moxie, it is impossible to protect her forever, and it is impossible to protect you forever."
Dong Lingjun hung the wooden box over his shoulder, he turned over and walked into the darkness, and threw down a very meaningful word.
"No matter what he has been missing for more than ten years, what he secretly wants to do to me Penglai, he has to hurry. The world has changed dramatically, but it is right in front of you. As for Yuejun's matter, I'll talk about it next time. ”
Dong Lingjun jumped into the water with the Ling Xuan Sword, and after a short time, a sampan quietly went to the open sea.
The old Gu Master on the shore had a strange expression.
He always felt that Dong Lingjun's last words seemed to have something to say.
When I go back, I have to relay it to the shrine maiden, so that maybe the shrine maiden can understand the meaning.
And Dong Lingjun stood on the sampan, carrying the Ling Xuan sword on his back, he was holding a porcelain bottle in his hand, and there were insects hitting the wall of the bottle, just like when Liaodong was in the past.
At the beginning, he thought that this Gu worm was tracking the Juque Sword itself.
But now I know that this insect is chasing the giant sword, and some other things that should not belong to this era...
Juque Sword, just near Quanzhou.
But Dong Lingjun had no intention of going to take it back at all.
He touched the Ling Xuan Sword on his shoulder, and there was a little more gloom in his eyes.
It seems that Zhang Moxie did not reveal the truth about Penglai's secret affairs to the Tongtang witch, otherwise this Ling Xuan Sword would not have been returned at all.
To be honest, he himself didn't want to see this sword returned.
But...
Dong Lingjun grabbed the dust, closed his eyes, and said softly:
"That's it, so be it.
After all, it is not as good as heaven. ”
The spirit sword has returned, and his life can no longer be changed, Penglai's matter, a thousand years of planning, he is a disciple of Penglai, and he can't get out of Penglai's grace.
This trip saved the apprentice a lot of hardships.
It can be regarded as the last meaningful thing I did after spending decades in this world.
When parting, he also saved another person.
and good deeds.
It's okay, it's not in vain.
Above the rolling tide at night, Dong Lingjun stood steadily on the small sampan, letting his true qi push him towards the darker sea.
The sampan drew a wisp of white waves in the waves, and Dong Lingjun looked at the bustling Quanzhou behind him, and the lights of thousands of homes.
This worldly red dust can be so beautiful, no worse than the scenery of Penglai Immortal Mountain.
And he never paid attention to these things.
Dong Lingjun was a little stupid for a while, but unfortunately, there was no extra time to give him a new life.
The sampan swept into the darkness of the sea, and Dong Lingjun suddenly stretched out his hand, and at the moment of melting into the darkness, he seemed to want to grasp something.
But he grabbed the air, so he could only wave his hand and gently shake the lights of the thousands of homes behind him.
Bye...
Farewell...
Thousands of miles in the world, thousands of feet of red dust.
Zhuoran, in this life, you must live a wonderful life, see the scenery of this world, find a good woman, and experience love in the world.
You have to be a substitute teacher and live one more life...
