Chapter 19: Awakening

Wei Xiangwu moved his hand away from Xiaolian and quickly got up.

Xiaolian's face turned crimson, and she hurriedly walked around behind Wei Xiangwu.

I don't know if it was because the tall man broke through the shyness, or if he felt the danger, even though he was hiding behind Wei Xiangwu, the delicate body was still trembling.

The person who came was very tall, and he didn't trim the edges, his back was to Wei Xiangwu, staring at the black knife on the wall seriously, the breath on his body was very cold, it seemed to bring in the cold outside, and the temperature of the entire mansion dropped accordingly.

When someone came in, Wei Xiangwu didn't notice it, which made Wei Xiangwu extremely vigilant.

But as a general who was ordered by the emperor to guard the border passes, he naturally would not put these Jianghu figures in his eyes, he looked at the back with unkind eyes, and shouted: "Bold thief, trespassing on the border and military aircraft, but what is the crime?"

Wei Xiangwu still left a little leeway for himself, did not act rashly, and did not dare to say it to death.

The person who came didn't turn around, he seemed to be very engrossed, as if he didn't hear Wei Xiangwu's words, he continued to stare at the black knife, and praised it in his mouth: "Good knife, this knife shouldn't be in the world, could it be from Borrowing Soldier Mountain?"

Soon, the visitor shook his head.

Wei Xiangwu has a broad long sword, basically not leaving an inch, even if he sleeps on the pillow, at this moment he subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword, and shouted, but the door responded, until this time, Wei Xiangwu was surprised to find that the guards he left outside the door did not move at all, and the entire mansion was quiet, deathly quiet, as if his mansion was a little popular.

The man flicked the blade of the knife with one finger, the blade buzzed and trembled slightly, and then shook the loess mud stains on it clean, and then said: "General Wei, do you know why Xiao Jiansheng wants to bury the knife in the grave?"

Wei Xiangwu said angrily: "This general only knows how to act according to the law, and never asks about these trivial matters. ”

The man suddenly reached out and took off the black knife, weighed it in his hand, then turned around, looked at Wei Xiangwu and said with a smile: "The dignified town guard general, he actually did some grave digging and digging and sneaking deeds, and he was not afraid of being laughed at when he said it." ”

Wei Xiangwu was about to get angry, but when he saw that face suddenly quieted down, including his heartbeat, it slowed down a bit.

Tu Tielin, Wei Xiangwu met.

And he also knew that Tu Tielin was not an ordinary cultivator, when he first started to contact cultivation, Tu Tielin had already made a name for himself, at that time, many people in the rivers and lakes called others to slaughter, naturally he killed many people, and the butcher who slaughtered cattle and sheep was similar, so Tu Tielin suddenly broke into his mansion in the middle of the night, and he was also nervous, but after all, he was the defender of this Yuntian City, not to mention that he had a lot of military power in his hands, and he was backed by iron and iron behind him, and that fear followed.

Wei Xiangwu calmed down, and said with a chuckle: "If the senior Tu is interested in this knife, take it, although the junior is in the military camp, he also likes to make friends in the rivers and lakes." ”

Tu Tielin laughed and said, "I'm also interested in your head, do you want to take it off and give it to me to carry?"

Suddenly, Wei Xiangwu's face was very cold, but he still smiled awkwardly and said, "Is the senior joking?"

Tu Tielin said: "Do you think I look like a joker?"

At the same time, Tu Tielin dragged the black knife towards Wei Xiangwu, the black knife looked very heavy, even if it was dragged on the ground without force, it still left a deep mark on the ground, just after Tu Tielin took five steps, Wei Xiangwu's face suddenly turned slightly cold, and he was just about to open his mouth to call someone, and he was

At this time, a round thing crashed through the window and flew in, rolled on the ground a few times, and just rolled to the feet of Wei Xiangwu and stopped, Wei Xiangwu glanced at it, and his face turned pale.

A bloody human head, the blood had dried up, a wrinkled face, and deep eye sockets, Wei Xiangwu recognized at a glance that it was a cultivator close to the Seven Realms who stayed in Yuntian City at any time to listen to him.

At this point, Wei Xiangwu's heart fell to the bottom.

Tu Tielin did not stop, the dragging knife gradually left the ground, the blade reversed and faced Wei Xiangwu, suddenly, Wei Xiangwu's long sword was unsheathed, and a white sword light slashed towards Tu Tielin, the sword qi Therefore, all the tables and chairs on the ground were shattered, and the same sword light also became shattered in front of Tu Tielin.

In fact, after Wei Xiangwu slashed out a sword, he had already smeared oil under his feet and left, the mansion not only has the main entrance, but also the secret door, usually not needed, and afraid of too many others, so it was blocked by the screen, at this time Wei Xiangwu's body flashed, raised his sword and walked, breaking the screen, the strong figure was about to crash through the thin wall of the dark passage that led to somewhere, the black knife in Tu Tielin's hand suddenly shot out a black light.

With a click, Wei Xiangwu's body penetrated the thin wall, but his head remained outside the thin wall, did not roll, and landed steadily, like a human head growing out of the ground.

The maid Xiaolian was hiding under a table at this time, she hugged the table legs tightly, and even the pen and ink on the table and the inkstone trembled.

Tu Tielin did not leave in time, but looked around the mansion, then sat down next to the table where Xiaolian was hiding, inked for a while with great interest, picked up the pen and wrote a line of big black characters on a piece of rice paper, and walked away.

Outside the door, the moonlight is beautiful and the snow is white.

The two figures, smiling at each other, jumped into the air side by side and headed north.

......

At this time, inside the bamboo building, Xiao Jiansheng was racking his brains for the last rune array.

The twelve talismans are about to be connected to each other, but he has never been able to do it, and in the end, this talisman seems to be no different from the previous eleven talismans, but the mental power injected into Xiao Jiansheng's fingers, every time he reaches the middle of the line, the mental power suddenly collapses, and it can no longer be condensed.

Xiao Jiansheng wiped a handful of sweat, and was about to try again, but at this moment, Zhao Lingxue suddenly woke up, looking frightened, Xiao Jiansheng had to put down the book in his hand, walked over to wipe the sweat on Zhao Lingxue's forehead, and asked, "Have a nightmare?"

Zhao Lingxue nodded and said, "I dreamed that my father suddenly became angry and overturned the table case. ”

Xiao Jiansheng smiled: "Dreams are all reversed, and I forgot about it when I woke up." ”

Zhao Lingxue leaned on Xiao Jiansheng's arms, breathing was still very short, today's celebration banquet, Zhao Lingxue was in a good mood, drank a few times more, and after getting off the carriage, he was drunk, and when he turned around, he fell asleep in the bamboo building.

Xiao Jiansheng stroked the scattered white hair while thinking about the strange dream he had had, although almost two years had passed, he still remembered it vividly.

Zhao Lingxue raised her head and said, "Do you want to go out for a walk with me?"

Xiao Jiansheng nodded.

Zhao Lingxue simply tidied up her hair bun, and the two walked out of the bamboo building and walked along the hand-holding river.

The moonlight was in the sky, bright as a lamp.

The two walked along the gurgling stream, went out of the gate of the manor, and went into the cherry blossom forest, smelling the fragrance of the flowers, and seemed aimless, and unconsciously came to a pavilion in the woods, the pavilion was very high, standing on pillars, and could see far away

, Zhao Lingxue seemed to think of Feng Knock Bamboo and the lake, and suddenly had a feeling, and said: "I don't know if the lake is icy, if it is frozen, the group of white swans will not be able to forage, maybe when they go back, they have found a new home." ”

Xiao Jiansheng comforted and said: "With Chen Gang here, he will think about keeping those birds." ”

"Perhaps. Zhao Lingxue smiled helplessly, and then said: "Actually, just now, in addition to dreaming of my father's anger for no reason, I also dreamed of the Four Emperor Sisters, she was leading a group of people to stand on a high place, shooting those white swans with arrows, many swans died under her exquisite archery, the Four Emperor Sisters have practiced arrows since childhood, and her superb archery skills have even surpassed many Royal Forest Army. ”

Xiao Jiansheng was curious: "Zhao Lingshuang is also a cultivator?"

Zhao Lingxue said: "She is just practicing secretly, and she doesn't even know about this matter, otherwise it will never be allowed." ”

Xiao Jiansheng asked: "It seems that you and Zhao Lingshuang get along very well, and they both say that it is difficult for the heirs of the emperor and prince to be brothers and sisters, and for the sake of the so-called succession, they can even turn against each other and kill each other." ”

Zhao Lingxue smiled bitterly: "It's more serious than you think, in the palace, the master is more precious than the mother, and those princes who are not at the expense of their father are not even as good as the powerful eunuchs and maids, like me, if it weren't for the father's care, I would have been excluded from the palace long ago, especially the fourth emperor sister, I always feel that there is something unspeakable behind her, her maids died batch after batch, and they were replaced very quickly." ”

Xiao Jiansheng said with a smile: "Could it be that she still wants to fight for the throne, impossible, since ancient times, the throne has only been passed on to men and not women, even if the princess has this virtue, after all, she will marry a chicken and a dog and a dog." ”

The two walked out of the two, looking for the sound of the river rushing.

On the way, the two walked silently.

As if thinking of the dawn of the day, they boarded the ship and moved away from the land, and both of them were a little sentimental.

Xiao Jiansheng remembered the bits and pieces along the way.

I felt that I had walked all the way, and it was too hard, and I was even fighting people in my sleep, either killing or being killed, the sky was almost blood-red, and the soil under the ground was accompanied by large blood stains, and the reality of the dream made him dare not recall it.

But the most memorable thing for him is the scene that his grandfather and sister dreamed of the night before they died, in the dream he flew up to a height of ten thousand feet, and he felt that there were two people staring at him above the sky, he thought that this was also part of the dream, in fact, in retrospect, there are many such scenes, such as the first time he went up the mountain to chop wood, he saw someone playing on the cliff, and the day he fell off the cliff, someone held him behind his back. There are many other things that are intriguing when you think about them.

The way he fights comes from instinct, and these instincts are incomprehensible even to him.

There is also cultivation, which is actually very short, but this kind of cultivation speed is completely beyond ordinary people, there is no shortage of geniuses in Wuji Palace, and then many people have been left behind by him, not that they are not highly skilled, but that he realizes that he seems to have taken a shortcut.

This shortcut sometimes makes him proud, but sometimes it also makes him frightened, he doesn't know what the end of the shortcut will be, a smooth road, or a conspiracy?

At this moment, the moonlight seemed to be blocked by something, and the stars in the sky disappeared, Xiao Jiansheng suddenly raised his head, and a huge crack suddenly appeared above the heavenly firmament, and what made him even more shocked was that there seemed to be an eye slowly opening in the crack.

What's waking up?
