Tales from the Third World (44)
The old man stretched out his hand to stop Su Hang, who was about to step forward, and he continued to cough while holding on to the crumbling door frame, supporting each other in the same dilapidated manner.
"Young man, how old are you this year?" The old man finally didn't shatter with the door frame, and asked a question between coughs.
"Seventeen" Suzhou and Hangzhou replied.
Finally, he ignored the old man's obstruction, his hand caressed the old man's back, and a trace of true yuan probed into the old man's body. As expected, the dilapidated body is almost exhausted, and Dorandot's soul will abandon this broken body at any time to start a new and fresh life.
Thinking of this, Su Hang suddenly felt a little sad, and since he stepped into the path of cultivation, he understood that there would be no more afterlife, fighting with the sky, how could the sky let you fight with him again. Now I think that the life of a mortal is equally wonderful, and the afterlife may be another rich color.
The old man's cough was finally cured, and he looked up at Su Hang, I don't know if it was an illusion or real, Su Hang saw the edge in the old man's eyes, and when he came back to his senses and wanted to find it, he found that his eyes were still cloudy, as if he had been blinded by a long time.
"Seventeen? Why is there such a struggle through vicissitudes? Young man, you are upset" The old man chattered, ignoring Su Hang's kindness, turned around and walked towards the dilapidated ruins, the ruins were very dilapidated, and he couldn't see the slightest human trace, and he didn't know why the old man would settle in such a dilapidated place.
Su Hang wanted to go up, but he didn't take a step in the end, and he would refuse to even stroke his back and straighten out the qi, so how could he pay attention to his other behaviors?
The old man had reached a corner of the ruined courtyard, and he was still muttering something distracted.
Su Hang also turned around and left, but his behavior today was a little strange. took two steps forward, and the old man's voice was about to be annihilated in the void, but a voice came out, still very quiet, but it was not as real as the other words, although the voice was small, but it seemed to sound from his heart, "See you in two days"
Sweat soaked his back in an instant, and now Su Hang, who has broken the backstage, deliberately listened to the nagging of an old man in his last years, how could he not listen to it? Turning his head, the grass and trees in the courtyard were deep, and the mossy stone that the old man had stepped on just now did not leave footprints, and he did not even let a stubborn moss in the moss that wanted to be higher than the grass bend his waist.
At this time, naturally there was no trace of the old man, Su Hang also tried to step on the moss stone, and the day after tomorrow he ran his exercises with all his might, after all, a few mosses bent over, and the qi leaked, the exercises were running, and the qi was naturally leaking, so the old man was very strong, and he returned to the basics.
The old man said that in two days, I believe that he will naturally meet again. Su Hang turned to leave, stepping into the light of the rising sun, and the dilapidated courtyard in the shadows was like a dilapidated wound.
Confused?
There is no delicate figure in the shadows outside the window tonight, but Su Hang is still difficult to settle down, his life is only more than ten years, even the mortal body still has a long time to go, but for some reason there is a hopelessness in the twilight of life.
Last night, I thought back on this short time, but I found that I was cowardly and forbearant all the way, even if it was rare to show my edge, but it seemed that I had done something wrong.
Sure enough, it was twilight, but my heart was even more chaotic.
"Let's meet the squeamish today"
Su Hang hid the short sword in his sleeve, and was about to go to a place and person that he had been running away.
"Ruoruo, although we know each other, we don't know each other, right? Did you come to me early in the morning to say such meaningless things? Looking at the young man in front of him squeamishly, if it weren't for the occasional obscene temperament, he could indeed praise him like jade.
The squeamish has been tossing and turning last night, getting up and freshening up after a night of exhaustion, but I don't want to be disturbed by the young man in front of me. I thought it was an important matter of God, but I went back and forth about some old stories that I had learned the preface of the book, and they were all miscellaneous things that even the storyteller on the street knew.
"Don't mind, I came to you to hope you" I don't know what it is difficult to talk about, if I look squeamish in embarrassment.
"Say!" The squeamishness with an excellent temper is finally a little angry.
"Come with me to find Su Hang?"
Ruoruo said carefully, and even peeked at the squeamish reaction, he didn't dare to go to Su Hang alone, because it was Lan Ji who asked him to ask Zhang Fang about it, if he was looking for Su Hang by himself, Ruo Ruo would naturally not have a psychological barrier, but if it was because of Lan Ji's matter, it was a little difficult to speak, so if he wanted to pull someone to strengthen his courage, squeamishness was undoubtedly the best choice.
However, the squeamish face was calm, as if he heard that Wang Mazi's steamed buns were sold one more yesterday.
"Go?" If you can't understand the squeamish calm.
Without waiting for an answer, the sound of a light knock on the door sounded, and the courtyard of the cultivator naturally had its great power, which was not intended by the master, but no outsider could snoop in, so the visit could only be done with the most primitive knock.
After the door rang, Su Hang stood patiently at the door and waited, he even hoped that the owner of the courtyard would be there something wrong today.
Backfire is the way the world should be, so the door of the courtyard opened, but there were two people in the courtyard who were a little unexpected.
"Ruoruo?"
Su Hang was a little surprised.
"I'm looking for some squeamish things, I just finished talking, don't you want to come to Suzhou and Hangzhou?" If you smile openly, you will naturally be open, he and Su Hang are good friends, so he doesn't want to have some estrangement because of some unwarranted things. even took a sneaky look at the squeamishness, and found that she was still bland, just because Su Hang's arrival shocked him a little, so he didn't have time to see the trembling of the squeamish body at that moment, and then a smile bloomed, and covered it up by the action of pulling her hair.
Yesterday, Su Ji came to look for her, and he said that he met Su Hang on the road, and they walked all the way. He said that the people of Suzhou and Hangzhou are not bad, but some are not worthy of her, and Su Hang's long knife was given away, and he is now using a long knife.
Squeamish naturally understood his intentions, but she said that she didn't like long knives now, and suddenly she liked double swords. Because he saw the young man who used to carry a long knife at the south gate of Shendu, with a pair of short swords hanging from his waist, he naturally knew it, so he understood that what Squeamish had always liked was not long knives, let alone any double swords, but it just happened that the person was using this.
He didn't say anything more, he left, there was no resentment in his eyes, just some unwillingness and relief. He muttered in his heart, I have finally passed a hurdle in my heart, what about you, Su Hang?
Today's Suzhou and Hangzhou are dressed a little strangely, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a long knife on his back. After calling Ruoruo, her eyes fell on the squeamish, and today's squeamishness abandoned the green shirt that she had worn through in the past, and replaced it with a white shirt, which actually had a sad beauty. Because she remembered that Su Hang said that there was a beautiful white shadow lingering in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it, so let's replace her.
Ruoruo wanted to say something more, but saw that the situation in the field was a little delicate, so he left the courtyard with interest and closed the door with his hand.
"Don't let me in and sit?" The corners of Su Hang's mouth hooked a lazy smile, and he rarely smiled.
Squeamish stepped out of the way and made him a pot of tea, and she waited for him to speak.
Untie the long knife from your back and place it on the table. "To you"
"Why give it to me?" The squeamishness was naturally happy in his heart, but he did not take the long knife.
"You begged me that day"
"It's not this" The squeamish voice was soft, and there was an irrepressible smile on the corner of his mouth.
"That gave me away, I can't get it back, maybe I won't see it again"
"I want it, do you have anything else to say?" The girl picked up the long knife and put it behind her back, interrupting Su Hang's words.
For a while, Su Hang was a little at a loss, the long knife he bought at a blacksmith shop on the way here, it was very similar to the one he used, but it was just like it, so he prepared a lot of rhetoric to convince himself and others. After the girl left the long knife, he didn't know what to say and couldn't find a reason to stay.
After clumsily saying goodbye to the squeamish, Su Hang left this quiet courtyard, and was stopped by Ruoruo, who had left before, just after walking a few steps.
"How many drinks? You and my brother haven't seen each other for a long time! ”
Watching Su Hang clumsily close the door, the squeamish finally laughed out loud, she didn't sleep well last night, not because she tossed and turned, but because she gave herself a divination. I still saw two figures snuggling on Nanshan, and this time she saw it more clearly, and she also saw a pair of short swords.
"If I meet your Lan family on the way back, he says his name is Lan Yan, have you seen him?" Su Hang was sure that the person who stabilized the ghost in the knife for him that day was the ancestor of the Lan family, but he didn't want to mention the word Tianbo, so it was naturally Lan Yan.
"That's a distant cousin of mine, I don't have much of an impression, I sent some things for my old man when I first arrived in Shendu, and I went back after sending them."
If you don't care about drinking the wine in the glass, I don't know why this friend would mention such a trivial matter.
Su Hang also smiled, since he didn't know, why bother?
"You have something to do with me, you don't look like a drinker."
If he is desperately persuading him to drink, but he is trying to stop drinking, he will drink too much, and he will naturally talk more, so he hopes that Su Hang will drink more.
"I'm your friend! Very good kind! ”
"Yes" The direction was a little strange, and Su Hang glanced at him suspiciously.
"Zhang Fang is also your good brother, and my friend's friend is my friend, so Zhang Fang and I will be good friends!" Speaking of this, Ruoruo's eyes lit up, and he even applauded his wit.
Su Hang was not stupid, but he still replied: "Sort of, the next time we meet, we can introduce you to familiarity, but if you want to know his whereabouts, you can ask directly."
"Where is that one now? Will you come to Shendu? ”
"Well, I don't know!"
"I just said I was a friend, but now I won't tell me!"
"But I really don't know!"
"That day, he said that his life was yours, that loyal dog, how could you not know his whereabouts!"
"He's my friend, not a loyal dog!"
Su Hang was a little angry, and looked at Ruoruo with sharp eyes, this was his rare appearance, and his eyes were a little stunning. Since they are friends, it is understandable that there are entanglements of interests, but they should be in an equal position, otherwise how can they make friends and how can they go together
"Then you really don't know his whereabouts?" If he asked carefully, it was the first time he saw Su Hang's eyes, and his ideas were different, although he didn't agree, he was not qualified to deny it.
"He's a prodigal son, so I never ask him where he is, just as I didn't ask you why you're so afraid of your sister."
If you understand that Su Hang already knows his intention, the wine will naturally not be able to drink. Confess, if you leave alone.
Tomorrow is the day when the students are assigned, maybe it is the feeling in the dark, he thinks that he will finally go to the second courtyard, which has been dilapidated for a long time, and Yang Fan will sink at the trough, or will he just sink?
If you turn around and leave, the chic flick of your sleeves is naturally indescribable. But all the way forward without guidance, how can you hope to go higher on your own, such as seeing that long blood-red hair again?
Su Hang was a little confused, for the future, for the ideal, he was fortunate to have seen the sky outside the sky, and he wanted to take a look. The Divine Abandonment Continent is very large, and now he has only seen Blackwater City, and the Divine Capital is only a corner.
Drinking the wine in one gulp, the spicy liquid burning his throat was uncomfortable, but it could paralyze his nerves and make him not worry so much about the road ahead.
If you look at the people on the street who are sad or complacent about the road ahead, is there a person like yourself who is also looking at the street when you walk on this road?
There was a figure flashing in his eyes, a very familiar figure, he felt that he should not be the wrong person, but when he chased him down the street, he never found it again.
However, I saw a seat in white, as if the fairy in the painting was accompanied by guessing and not afraid of death, and the two talked and laughed like a fairy couple, which attracted the envious eyes on the road, Su Hang sighed, and consciously wanted to avoid them, so as not to be tired of being afraid of death, and there were more unnecessary disputes.
Su Hang avoided it very skillfully, but after all, it was a block without eyes, and the eyes that were not afraid of death fell on him, and the embarrassment between the two of them was well known in Blackwater City, it was said that Su Hang could go up and taunt, and if he was not afraid of death, he should consciously dodge.
Naturally, he didn't avoid being afraid of death, but greeted him enthusiastically, saying hypocritical politeness, pretending to be enthusiastic and familiar. Others look like a friend who has been reunited for a long time, if he is not afraid of death, he will come close to Su Hang's ear and gnash his teeth.
"Are you proud to come to the Divine Capital? Think I can't do anything about you? I thought so before, but tomorrow you're going to die! I will light up this era! ”
The two separated, not afraid of death, but still said some inconsequential words loudly, telling about their friendship. The guess next to her smiled just right, which made people very comfortable, but Su Hang saw a trace of embarrassment in her eyes, obviously she didn't hear the words of not being afraid of death, she just thought that this was a good rebuilding of the old without fear of death, which was also what she wanted.
Su Hang also smiled back, no matter what, Guess is a person who once played a pivotal role in his heart, he is not willing to speculate on her with any malice, if she is such a malicious person, then her acting skills are too good, a person who lives a happy life, will not practice acting, so she will not Su Hang thought about turning around and leaving.
Today's Shendu South Street is particularly lively, gathering young faces, who are going to different colleges today to cultivate, fight with the sky, and fight with themselves.
Everyone wants to be selected by a suitable college, and they all want to choose the third house and avoid the second house. Because yesterday, the first person from the No. 3 Academy came out and said that if anyone enters the No. 2 Academy, then they will come to greet them three times, and they will not deceive people, they are all similar to each other, and after three times, they can still be safe, and the No. 3 Academy will retreat. It is said that it is not deceitful, but every word is deceitful.
The No. 3 courtyard is very strong, and the strong is not reasonable, the No. 2 courtyard did not dare to say that it was like the sky, but no one would say that if the second courtyard was compared to the heavens, such a place, it was flattened by the No. 3 courtyard overnight, and all the people under the door were scattered, and they didn't even dare to mention that they were protégés of the No. 2 courtyard.
The third courtyard is ruthless to the outside, and it is also ruthless to its own people, they are like raising Gu, cultivating the academy, as long as you are strong enough, then you have status and resources. There are often people who kill each other in the third courtyard, although they are perverted and crazy, and they can even kill their fellow disciples, but they will never allow outsiders to touch their people, and they are terrifyingly united to the outside.
So no one believes in anything that is done after three visits, and even if it does, no one wants to gamble on the future.
Everyone was looking at the mana bulletin board on the long street, where the mana fluctuated, but the content was not displayed, and a group of people were waiting in a hurry.
Su Hang was waiting in a position not far away, he didn't like the crowd in front of him, and he didn't like the loneliness of being far away from the crowd, so he was standing here, just right. He didn't walk with anyone, he just stood there alone, he had some bad thoughts in his heart, and he didn't want others to see them.
In the farther distance, there were four eyes that did not fall on the bulletin board, they were looking at Su Hang, he could feel that someone was looking at him, but there were so many people, isn't it normal for someone to look at him?
"Don't be afraid of death, haven't you already decided to enter the third courtyard? Why are you here? "The voice is soft and very good, guess it's not afraid of death, it seems that you can't see enough, and you're always stingy with other people.
I'm not afraid of death, this woman is too clingy, and if there is a chance, I will kick her away. But not now, at least until she surpasses her brother in the third courtyard, and even surpasses her grandmother, who is known as the king of medicine.
"It's also very interesting to stand on a high place and watch all sentient beings struggle, but my brother told me that there are many poor creatures who are not even qualified to be admitted to the second courtyard, and watching the joy and anger of sentient beings is also helpful for cultivation." The brother who is not afraid of death is also called the brother of Guess, the powerful man, the man who pulls himself and imprisons himself.
Guess some don't like not to be afraid of death, this kind of force has a posture of overlooking all beings, but after thinking about it, what he said also has some truth, so I don't talk too much, it is not conducive to the relationship between the two, she is really in love and not afraid of death, and she doesn't want to have some estrangement because of a little problem, so she hummed softly, full of little daughter's obsessive posture.
Guess the dislike is very hidden, but since he wet his pants in the ring in Blackwater City that day, his ability to observe words and emotions without fear of death and tend to inflammation has reached the point of perfection, otherwise how can a person who does not let the family lose face and is still disliked by the elders can come to the Shendu and enter the third courtyard.
All the unsatisfactory is caused by the Suzhou and Hangzhou in front of him, and everything is also given by the guesses around him. Although he begged for these things with a grovel face, he didn't like others to say that he got these by a woman, so his hatred for Su Hang was even more profound.
"Let's go!" I sighed not afraid of death, he would die tomorrow anyway, so why spend too much hatred on him, although I hope he will die now.
Another glance came from the roof, a scruffy old man sitting on the roof, carrying a gourd in his hand, pouring the liquid down his throat wantonly, with a little appreciation in his eyes.
"But in two days, my mentality has been adjusted well, even if I see my name appearing on the bulletin board of the No. 2 Hospital, I can deal with it calmly, and it seems that I am also a talent." The old man muttered, and poured another large mouthful of liquid into his throat, and then his eyes became cloudy, and a strong smell of alcohol permeated.
The eyes of the other two are relatively much more obscure, and they are all in a corner that is not easy to find. One of them looked like water, and the other looked hidden in the darkness, unable to see clearly, but there was an atmosphere of sadness that pervaded. Even the black robe covered his head and face, and he couldn't see his figure, his eyebrows and eyes, and he couldn't distinguish between men and women.
"I can only appear in front of you once, and when I meet again, it will be when I can destroy the Zhou family, let's go see you again tomorrow, maybe I can help you once." The mysterious man said a word in a figure that only he could hear, and then completely disappeared into the darkness, and lost his trace.
Su Hang naturally didn't know what these people who were looking at him were thinking, his eyes fell on the bulletin board in the second courtyard, on which his name was shining, and he even felt that that name had something to do with himself
Wonderful connection, I think it's some powerful means.
He was also looking for the names of other people who were also from Blackwater City, and he surprisingly found the names of Qiu Zheng who were not afraid of death and Qiu Zheng in the third courtyard, and the others were all in the Heavenly Dao Academy, neither of them was an outstanding person, but it could also be said that the world was impermanent.
Su Hang listened to the joyful or abusive voices of a group of goods around him and turned to leave, entering the hall, not daring to say that the future is immeasurable, at least there are many more possibilities than others. The ones who were insulting were those whose names were on the bulletin board of the Second Courtyard or who simply did not have their names, but none of the Fourth Avenue Courtyard or the Fifth Avenue Courtyard stood up to explain.
"Will I have eleven fellow believers?"
Su Hang had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there were twelve people's names on the bulletin board in the No. 2 courtyard.
Although the forces of the gods are intricate, and the situation of mutual tilting is also very serious, the gods can always prosper naturally not rely on various tilts. It's the sacred mountain in the city, yes, it's in the middle of the city, in the center of the divine capital, a large area, a towering sacred mountain! They said that they would rebuild the No. 2 Courtyard, so the No. 3 Courtyard would not dare to destroy the No. 2 Courtyard, but they could make the No. 2 Courtyard have no protégés.
The disaster of destroying the door, the revenge of incognito, the third courtyard will naturally not let the second courtyard have a chance to turn over.
"More than ten years have been looking forward and backward, from today onwards, I want the world to see my edge, I don't deceive others, but everyone comes to deceive me"
Su Hang chuckled, the runes flickered under his feet, he was going somewhere.
Today, he is not afraid of death and looks naked, how can he not know, if you want me to die, then I will live to show you.
After not afraid of death and leaving, a girl walked out of the shadows, with white clothes fluttering, although she did not fall into the country and the city, but exuded an amiable beauty.
"I'm willing to help you, but will you?" Sighing softly, there was a black cat with dark lines rubbing around at his feet.
"Duoduo, what should I do?" Naturally, Squeamish was not asking the cat, although it could understand what she was saying, but it could not give her an answer, not so much that she was asking the cat, but that she was asking herself.
