Tales from the Third World (45)

Ruo Ruo was bored and kicked a broken stone on the side of the street, he had just looked for the seniors who had come to Shendu before the family, and he hoped that they could help Su Hang, because he had asked what would happen if he went to the second courtyard, and Lan Ji replied to him, "Nine deaths!" ”

No one wants to pay attention to him, or simply doesn't want to see him. He understood that there were people behind him who were much stronger than his Lan family, and the people of the Lan family were unwilling to wade into this troubled water. So he was hesitating, should he persuade Su Hang to give up the opportunity to enter the second courtyard and find another way out.

But the road is someone else's, and it is always a little unreasonable to let people give up, expect Su Hang to give up by himself, Ruoruo sighed, and kicked the stone at his feet again.

As if to vent the anger in his heart, Ruoruo's kick was a little hard. If you kick out, you will regret it, and if you hurt someone, you are always ashamed.

The stone was taken by a slender hand, and it was even more ashamed to see her.

"Squeamish that I'm just"

Although he understands the squeamishness's love for Su Hang, the hearts of young boys and girls in Huaichun are always unstoppable. It's always a little overwhelming to lose your temper just now.

"I have a way to help Su Hang, but it's inconvenient for me to come forward to help him, can you"

There is no one in the whole god now who is better than Ruo Ruo, and I believe that he is also the one who is willing to make a move.

"What should I do?"

If you are a little happy, for Suzhou and Hangzhou, but also for yourself.

"Give this to him, tell him to go to any office in the Sacred Mountain, and they will arrange a place for him to go when they see this!"

Squeamishly flipped over and took out a black wooden plaque with no words on it, and a bright red tassel hanging from the bottom. The heavy one is heavier than the pure metal one, but the feel and texture tell people that this is wood.

"I'll go find him"

"Wait, do you know where to look for him?" The squeamish stopped Ruoruo, who was about to turn away.

"Do you have a way?" If you wonder, if you can know where he is, it will save you a lot of time and trouble.

"Wait a minute, I'll try"

After finishing speaking, the squeamish hand was sealed, and a mutual butterfly formed by mana was generated from his hand, and then fluttered away, and the dancing wings were very fluttering, quite beautiful. But it only took two wings to dance, and he lost his trace.

"What a subtle technique!"

In terms of speed alone, even some peers who are famous for their body skills are not as good as mana butterflies. You must know that if the butterfly leaves the person, there is no follow-up energy support, but the cultivator has enough mana reserves, and the wanton indulgence of speed always needs mana support. And the mana butterfly is like a real Dolando, without the slightest leakage of mana, which is enough to show the strength of the predecessor who created this spell.

Ruoruo's emotion was not over, and the butterfly suddenly appeared again, as if it had torn the void and appeared directly, or had never left in the first place.

The butterfly kissed the delicate forehead, and then dissipated, the delicate face was first happy, and then the cheeks were inexplicably dyed with a layer of redness, a little more shy, but also added a little color to her beautiful face.

I was squeamish for a moment, and then said softly, "I didn't find Su Hang, so I bothered Brother Lan, I was suddenly a little anxious, so I left first."

In just one sentence, it made the squeamishness that should have been Xia Fei's cheeks even more gorgeous. She didn't speak very quickly, but the speed of her departure was a little faster, and she did not hesitate to use her body on the street, and left in a few flashes, but as she said, there was something urgent to leave.

Su Hang spent a night thinking about many things and understanding many truths, so when he saw the bulletin board today, he was not afraid of death and his name, although there was a trace of grief and indignation, but he could also do the most basic indifference.

So he was now outside a small courtyard, and after leaving the bulletin board street, he had been here for three hours, and for those three hours he hadn't even moved, like a sculpture.

He seemed to be waiting for someone, but he closed his eyes, and occasionally people passed by and cast strange eyes, but he closed his eyes and couldn't see, so it didn't matter.

A few blocks away, the void shattered, and a cat led a young girl to appear on the long street. Su Hang also frowned, but did not open his eyes.

Maybe Su Hang had been standing for too long, like a piece of dead wood, a butterfly fluttered in, and then landed on his shoulder, and even the tentacles touched his face, seeing that there was no response, the butterfly stayed on his shoulder peacefully.

Cultivators cultivate the Tao, and they oppose the heavens. Since you are cultivating the Tao, you must at least know what your own Tao is. You can't ask others about your own way, you can only walk out by yourself.

In the past few days, Suzhou and Hangzhou have walked the long street, and they have been selected. Earlier, he lived in the world, and saw life and death. He figured he had some idea of what he had to do.

Don't mess up, don't get stuck in love, don't worry about the past, don't be afraid of the unknown.

So he is standing here, he is waiting for someone, to give her an answer, to give himself a way out and change his mind to a clear mind.

The eyes that had been closed for a long time finally opened, startling away the quiet butterfly.

Squeamish appeared at the end of the long street with a dark black cat, and when her feet just stepped on the long street, Su Hang opened his eyes, although he had been standing on this street for a long time, his heart should have calmed down a long time ago, just like the state in front of him, like dead wood and stagnant water. But the squeamish foot seemed to be stepping on his heart, stepping those indifferent into the dirt, and there was no day to turn over.

The sudden acceleration of his heart made him dare not turn around immediately, he was afraid that she would see the clue.

Squeamish naturally knew that when he opened his eyes, how could a butterfly stay on a dead piece of wood for a long time? But she couldn't see Su Hang's panic, and she didn't move after opening her eyes, but it added a little panic to her. Every step out is also stepping on her own heart, and her heartbeat accelerates irrepressibly.

Turned around, looked at each other, a pair of flustered eyes but didn't see a crimson face, but she did.

"Are you waiting for me here?" I don't know what to do, but after seeing Su Hang's face, the squeamishness calmed down.

"No, no" Su Hang sighed, his heart was messed up after all.

"Then why did you stand outside my yard for so long?"

The girl stood on tiptoe and leaned forward, inexplicably producing a sense of oppression.

"Oh, yes, it's yesterday's long knife, do you like it?"

In just two sentences, he used many methods and found them useless, so he planned to follow his heart.

"I didn't like it very much, but since you're here today, I like it very much, do you have anything to do with me? Look like you've been waiting for a while? ”

The squeamish said vaguely, she wanted to ask directly, although the cultivators seek immortality and fight with the sky, and they don't have too much time to care about the world, but after all, they are women, and because they have lived long enough, they care about face very much, and there is such a group of people behind her.

Maybe it was because he had opened his mind, Su Hang actually understood, and his heart calmed down a little, and he replied: "You can like it, I'm very happy, if I can live in the second courtyard this time, are you willing to accompany me to see the prosperity of the years?" ”

"Can you not go? What if there was a better way? She almost couldn't help but say she had a way.

"If you want to hide, why care if there is a better way out? If I retreat, will you still like the long knife you carry on your back today? ”

"You might die!" Squeamishly took off the long knife on his back, held it in his hand, and pinched it hard, his knuckles white.

Su Hang took a few steps back, and made a serious gesture, he saw the anxiety in the squeamish eyes, or a trace of expectation, and smiled lightly: "I understand your thoughts, yes!" Who would want to die? Only when you are alive will you have more possibilities, and you are not afraid of death, you know? No matter how hypocritical it was at the beginning, but at least it was high-spirited, and now it has become so hysterical, it's just an inferiority complex in my heart, do you want me to be like this? ”

"No one will embarrass you, if you don't live, how can I accompany you to see the prosperity of the world?" The girl was a little afraid that he would die, and he came today to answer her, so naturally she didn't want to dissipate before she realized it, and accidentally said what she tried to hide.

"If I die, I will bear you, since I am dead, I can't say the hypocritical guilt, but if I live, I will pay back everything I owe you, and I will go" Su Hang turned around and left, he was afraid that if he stayed for a long time, he would really not be able to help it, so he didn't dare to go to the second courtyard, he was cowardly, how could he fight with the sky in the future?

His steps were fast, but after all, he didn't use the steps of the Nine Palaces, he just walked away as if ordinary people were walking quickly.

"Su Hang, I'm waiting for you! And you don't owe me! With tears in her eyes, the girl shouted.

Su Hang turned his head, his smile was like a warm spring breeze, which was reassuring, and he nodded: "I will live!" If I die, I'll run away. It's cowardly to retreat when there is difficulty, and it's stupid to know that you will die, I'm not stupid! ”

After speaking, the runes of the Suhang tripod flickered, and then disappeared.

"Duoduo, can you see how he left?" Squeamishly leaned over and asked the black cat at his feet.

The black cat sniffled in confusion, then shook her head and continued to rub at her feet.

"The space is not broken, what a magical spell!" The squeamishness that should have been a little depressed became happy again, her family divination has always been very accurate, at least so far she has not heard of any mistakes, but she is still worried, knowing that Su Hang left with a strange way, at least as he said, he will live. The scenery of Nanshan! When will you see it?

After Su Hang left the squeamish courtyard, he walked aimlessly on the long street of Shendu, watching the joys and sorrows of others, going in, and then walking out, so he found the most prosperous street and sat down in an inconspicuous corner. Closing his eyes, his thoughts flew high, and then fell on the ordinary people on the long street, he was a lame beggar with a tragic past on the side of the street for a while, and he was bored, but he still put a broken bowl on the long street, and he was still breathing. At one time, he was a student who came to Shendu to take the exam, and Shendu is not only the Shendu of cultivators, but also the Shendu of ordinary people. He has already fallen to Sun Shan twice, conceited his talent, but he can't get anything, he plans that if he still fails this time, he will face the east and end at the foot of Nanshan, his home is in the east of the divine capital.

There are thousands of people coming and going in the first half of the long street, and he has also gone through hundreds of lives, happy or sad. After tasting all the flavors of the world, the chaotic heart finally calmed down. I'm going to No. 2 Courtyard tomorrow, No. 3 Courtyard is not going to die, he doesn't plan to retreat, he asks for at least one to be comfortable.

Facing off against the No. 3 Courtyard, it is naturally life and death, so he can't tolerate his turmoil, so he is here to see the various states of life, and even to experience their lives, seeing more, naturally there is not so much joy and anger, and when he opens his eyes again, the moonlight has jumped off.

Su Hang's mind is a little chaotic, he has seen too many lives, he needs to tell which one is his, so he needs to rest well tonight, tomorrow! It's about to live as yourself, and although you are dying and living, you have some expectations.

Su Hang's good rest did not come as scheduled, outside his collapsed inn, there were people waiting there, dressed in black, with a delicate face like a woman's willow white, and his whole body exuded an aura that no one could approach. Ruoruo, who was about ten zhang away from him, was also there, carrying a pot of wine, and there was even a person who was familiar to Su Hang behind him.

He wanted to go up and talk to him directly, but found that the other party shook his head vaguely, so he gave up, and it happened that Liu Bai had already walked over, and even blocked Ruoruo behind intentionally or unintentionally.

"What would you choose?" Liu Bai's eyes burned.

For some reason, Su Hang suddenly had a lot of pride in his chest, and the people around him, whether they were friends or enemies, felt that he would not retreat.

"I may die, then I will not be able to walk with you, but I will lose someone." Suhang Road

"Others don't know, you and I have been walking together for a short time, and we will be together in the future, but a group of people with rat eyes think that they are standing on a high place and overlooking."

"Huh?" There seemed to be a lot of vague information in Liu Bai's words, but he didn't say it explicitly. Su Hang was still about to ask clearly, but was interrupted by Liu Bai.

"See you tomorrow, you need a good rest tonight, don't send it away"

Liu Bai walked very simply, without dragging mud and water, and without even giving Su Hang a chance to say one more word, his figure flickered, and he went. It attracted the people next to Ruoruo to look sideways and nod secretly.

"Haha, Su Hang, what kind of friend are you! It's like being generous to death! ”

If he is quite disdainful of Liu Bai, I don't know if it is because of his beautiful face or today's indifference like Zhang Fang, but Su Hang quite understands what he thinks, if he is handsome and has a prosperous family, it can be said that he will be one of the focuses anywhere, but people like Zhang Fang and Liu Bai are people who can become the absolute focus, which naturally dislikes him.

"It's almost the same as dying, I can't guarantee that I can block the argument of the third courtyard three times!" Speaking of the word "Dao", Su Hang paused, Xu wanted to find a suitable word, and finally thought about it and said the word "Dao" with a little mockery.

"I'm a good friend! You don't have to take any chances, I've already found a solution for you, or the way to the sacred mountain."

Speaking of which, Ruoruo was a little proud to hold the token in his hand and play with it, as if he was showing off his magical powers.

"No, I'm very interested in the Tao, even if it's not enough to die, thank you! And your wine! ”

Su Hang took the wine in Ruoruo's hand, turned around and walked towards the hotel, without the slightest intention of beckoning him in, his body was as straight as a gun, as he thought in his heart, how do you want me to do what you want, so that no one else is involved, and you face it alone.

Ruoruo turned the token in his hand a few times, he wanted to stop Su Hang, press the token in his hand, and throw him into the sacred mountain tomorrow by his neck, but he couldn't beat him

"Try to be squeamish, when it comes to the life and death of Su Hang, she won't care about those side matters anymore!"

Ruoruo ruthlessly decided to find squeamishness, only hoping that she could stop Su Hang's generosity of hitting stones with eggs. If it still doesn't work, I'm afraid I can only pull down the old face and go to guess, but I'm not afraid of dying there

Su Hang uncorked the wine brought by Ruoruo, poured a bowl, didn't drink it, and pushed it to the opposite side, where there was no one, so he crossed his knees and closed his eyes to recuperate, neither drinking nor going to bed.

An oil lamp was on, not very bright, and the flickering light illuminated him uncertainly.

At night, the wind blew in through the open windows, pressing the lights very low and almost extinguishing them. A chopstick picked up the wick, and the room was lit again, and the wine bowl that should have been waiting for someone was also held in his hand.

"No appetizers?"

A face peeked out from behind the bowl, illuminated by the lamp, and it was the man who followed Ruoruo's side.

"Not this time"

"What wine do you pour without appetizers!"

The man drank the wine in the bowl dry, smacked his mouth, glanced at the wine bottle, and finally put the bowl back on the table, no longer looked at it, his eyes fell on Su Hang, waiting for him to speak or "ask".

"I'm drinking wine, what's the drink?" Su Hang said after filling the empty bowl on the table.

When the wine was full, Su Hang put down the bottle and looked at the man in front of him, the two looked at each other, looking at each other calmly, and the man did not pick up the wine to drink.

"Seniors"

"Call me Lan Yan, young Lan Yan!"

The wick burst in the firelight, illuminating the man's face brighter and brighter, a boy's face.

"Senpai!"

"I will cultivate to almost all the seals, unless my life hangs by a thread, otherwise it will not be unlocked again, and now I am like you, everything starts from scratch"

"I didn't know anything until you drank"

"With thousands of years of experience, it always makes me look better."

The man was the blue sky Bo that Su Hang had appeared on the way to Shendu that night, and he also helped Su Hang stabilize the restless ghost in the long knife that night.

"Seniors didn't come to me for a drink and talk about some inconsequential topics, right?"

Lan Yan stretched out his hand and picked up the wine on the table, as if he was emboldened, he drank all the wine in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and was silent like this, Su Hang was very patient, and waited quietly.

The silence was a little annoying, so Lan Yan poured himself another bowl of wine and drank it all. In the flickering lights, Lan Yan put all the wine in his stomach like this, and did not serve the snacks.

"Is the wine alright? If you still need it, I'll call you."

"Wine is just a bold fight"

"If the predecessor has any instructions, even if you say this, you are very frightened!"

As Su Hang said, Lan Yan's spitting made him feel uneasy, what kind of thing made it difficult for an old monster who had lived for thousands of years to choose, and even a little ashamed to say it?

"In the future, call me Lan Yan, this time I owe you a favor, if you don't achieve death, there is nothing to say, if it is successful, I will do three things for you, as long as it is not a certain death, you can agree!"

Lan Yan's promise can be said to be quite heavy, and ordinary people promise to add no disobedience to their hearts and not to involve morality, but he only has a non-mortal situation, which is very attractive, and it is difficult to do things if you want to.

Su Hang lazily swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Seniors said come and listen"

"I want to see the owner of Ruoruo's token!"

"You've found the wrong person!" I thought it was a rare thing, but I didn't expect it to sound like a very simple thing. But it was also very difficult for Su Hang, and for the token, he knew nothing.

"If it is, I know what the Lan family is like, I know better, if the Lan family has such ability, why do I need to wander outside for more than a thousand years and need the ethereal Heavenly Dao, and now it is even more abolished. The owner of the token is mysterious and powerful, it must be a woman who helps you, you think about who is the most likely next to you, help me! ”

Lan Yan's eyes flashed, and Su Hang even saw greed in it, greed that could not be erased for thousands of years.

"I'll try"

The faces of the two people flashed in Su Hang's mind, sister and squeamish, ask squeamish tomorrow.

Before Lan Yan left, he swore by his own life, and he owed Su and Hangzhou three things, and did not reveal the slightest news about the owner of the token, if he violated it, the origin would be cracked, and the corpse soul would not exist.

It was already the second half of the night, it was a little cold, Su Hang got up and closed the hidden window, Lan Yan made an oath, and disappeared like light smoke, just like when he came, without warning. Only one sentence remained: "Show the oath to the owner of the token, if she wants to see me, she will come to Ruoruo to find me"

In front of the dilapidated courtyard wall, Su Hang had been here three days ago, and met an old man here, who said that he was upset.

Since the destruction of the old site of the Second Courtyard, there have been few people, even though it is in the center of the Divine Capital, very close to the mysterious Sacred Mountain, but it is like a forbidden area, and no one wants to come here.

Today is a bit lively, all kinds of people are showing their hidden or acting talents, hiding somewhere or pretending to be pedestrians, slowly walking by.

Su Hang came a little late, and there were three people standing in front of the collapsed courtyard gate, and the old man he had seen that day in the center was the one he had seen that day, but today he changed into a purple robe, his waist was straight, and his hair bun was obviously carefully taken care of, and the ethereal aura of a cultivator was hidden in him. The other two are quite young, dressed ordinarily, and they will not be the children of nobles, they should be the new students of the Second Academy.

At this time, they were confronting a group of people, a group of people wearing the uniform of the third courtyard, according to the madness of the third courtyard, they are now directly cleaning up the people who dared to enter the second courtyard after they spoke, a few people who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

"Crazy senior, we are just doing a simple discussion with the students of your school"

"If I don't let me, what will I do?" The old man's eyes were as sharp as knives, and the young man who had just spoken couldn't help but take a step back, his lips trembling.

Another young man stretched out his hand to support the retreating person, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to the old man: "You can protect it for a while, they will eventually leave your protective circle, you see?" ”

"Threaten me? Who have I been afraid of? Don't say that you are just a little cub of the Jin family, even if you are the head of the family, I want to kill him, what can you do to me? Or do you tell me about the third house? Those old monsters don't dare talk to me like that! ”
