Chapter 5 Rock Sugar Gourd is Sweet!
Sending Long Zai and the others away, Li Qingshui wanted to pick up his sword and continue to practice the Dengyun swordsmanship, the state of having a sword in one heart was really fascinating and powerful. He always felt that when he entered that state, he would be able to enter a new world and master it completely, and he would get twice the result with half the effort if he practiced any martial arts in the future.
It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, and a heavy rain kicked off shortly after the dragon boy and they left.
The clouds were so low that they seemed to fall from the sky, the wind was fierce, the lightning was thundering, the sky seemed to crack open, and the rain was pouring in.
It is the 360-year-old Nanshan that is crying, and it will disappear in the long river of history in 15 days, and the mountains are full of sorrow.
Li Qingshui had no choice but to stop practicing, then take out the "bluestone gate", according to the mantra taught to him by the great elder, restore it to its original appearance, and slowly push it open, and the small space from the ancient times appeared again.
In the endless desolation, mixed with the scent of elixir, permeated the surroundings.
On the broken path of ancient trials, several light clusters were suspended, and many secret treasures and elixirs lay quietly in them, full of mysteries.
"Being a disciple of a big force is actually quite happy, all the tools to reach the end have been prepared in advance by the elders, as long as you have the strength, just go and get it. It's like us, after so many years of cultivation, not to mention the secret treasure, we don't even know whether the elixir is bitter or sweet, whether it should be eaten raw or boiled water. Li Qingshui smiled bitterly.
Although he hates to admit it, it seems really important to have a good birth.
The treasure you have obtained with all your best efforts is just a toy in the hands of a little doll in someone's house, how can this not be sad.
Li Qingshui's heart was mixed.
But it was only a little emotional, and Li Qingshui's heart calmed down.
It's not easy for me to come to the world, and if you don't give it to me, I have to get it myself.
You have treasures, and I envy them, but I am not jealous;
Because I know that I can get everything in the world if I want it!
This is self-confidence, which comes from Li Qingshui's strong self-confidence in his own strength.
Although he was only thirteen years old, Li Qingshui already had a strong heart.
After putting away the bluestone door, Li Qingshui began to sit cross-legged and meditate.
In the whole world, only the sound of raindrops falling.
......
Time passed quietly in the wails of the disciples of Nanshan.
Before you know it, five days have passed, and there are only ten days left before the deadline given by Qingyun Sect and other forces to move out of Nanshan.
In the past five days, Li Qingshui has not gone out again, and has been studying the Dengyun sword technique in the cave.
Progress was fast, and he felt that he had vaguely touched the threshold of that "magical state", which made him excited, and it was just around the corner to get back into that state.
It's just that time is running out.
There are only ten days left.
The atmosphere in Nanshan became more and more urgent, and there was a tense situation of mountain rain coming and the wind was full of buildings.
Today, there are already disciples who can't stand it anymore, so they go to the Great Elder's cave mansion and force each other to die.
That's right, it's to die!
They wanted to use their lives to blackmail the Great Elder into sacrificing Nanshan in exchange for a way to live.
Dogs will jump off the wall when they are in a hurry, and they are smart and do not intend to sit still.
The mask of hypocrisy was finally removed, revealing its hideousness.
The young disciples held swords around their necks and knelt in a row in front of the Great Elder's cave, looking at death as if they were at home.
If they don't know the truth of the matter, their appearance will be holy and tragic.
Wang Xiaogui was originally going to go, but he was beaten back by Yang Xing halfway, with a blue nose and swollen face.
"You... You misunderstood, I didn't go to ask the Great Elder to offer Nanshan, I just ...... It's just to follow and see the excitement, and follow to see the excitement. ”
"Ah, ah, ah, senior brother, don't fight, oops, it hurts, it hurts!" Wang Xiaogui knelt on the ground, covering his face, crying bitterly and being covered in injuries.
He didn't expect that Yang Xing, a fool, would actually kill himself without any mercy.
Wang Xiaogui in the early stage of the Gathering Spirit Realm was still unstable in his control of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and in the face of Yang Xing's ravage, he had no power to fight back.
Although Wang Shigui has scolded the eighteenth generation ancestor of the Yang Xing family in his heart, he is still begging for mercy, and the hero does not suffer the loss in front of him.
"Didn't I say that you, as your senior brother and friend, we don't want to lose face? You have repeatedly yielded and begged for mercy, so that outsiders will look at us? Do you want them to say that we are all a group of cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death? If it weren't for Senior Brother Yang Xing's timely discovery, I'm afraid it would be you who knelt in the front, right? I simply lost all our faces, and told you that you want to become an immortal and not ask for mercy, why don't you listen to persuasion. ”
"What is it called, you beg for a beating, after a while, Senior Brother Yang Xing will fight, I will continue to fight, and give you a memorable lesson, see if you dare to do it again next time." Long Tsai angrily added fuel to the fire.
"Wronged, great wrong, little junior brother, you save me, you save me. Wang Xiaogui felt that he was afraid that he would have to explain to his own people today, and began to panic, and even crawled and hugged Li Qingshui's leg, which was his last hope.
Li Qingshui couldn't laugh or cry, he knew that Wang Xiaogui's nature was not bad, but he was just a little timid.
And you can't blame him if you want to sacrifice Nanshan, after all, there is a way to live, who wants to die?
If he could, of course Li Qingshui wanted to live, this is human nature, but if he wants to sacrifice Nanshan, he can't pass this level in his heart.
There are some things, even if you die, you can't go back.
"Okay, senior brother, let him go. Li Qingshui spoke, then squatted on the ground, sighed, tidied up Wang Xiaogui's messy clothes, and said: "I heard that when you were four years old, the village where you lived was invaded by a crazy demon beast, and all the people in the village were killed by the demon beast. After living in Nanshan for so many years, I can understand that you have no feelings for this place, and I can understand that you have no feelings for these lovely senior brothers, but you shouldn't, you have no feelings for the Great Elder. ”
"You can break our hearts, but you can't, Great Elder, and you don't have the right to blackmail him into doing anything, because if it weren't for him, you would have been reduced to a pile of dry bones in the winter when you were four years old. The warm sun you have had over the years has been given by the Great Elder. The Great Elder is here when you cry, and when the Great Elder is crying, don't run alone. ”
"People, you must learn to be grateful, and don't use your ignorance to hurt the heart of a kind old man who is already full of holes, senior brother. ”
"There is no one in this world who can never die, but some people's death is lighter than a feather, and some people's death is heavier than a green mountain. I hope that in that last moment, you will be the pride of the Great Elder. ”
After listening to Li Qingshui's words, Wang Xiaogui lowered his head, Yang Xing and Long Zai thought that he had begun to regret it, but they didn't expect that Wang Xiaogui raised his head suddenly the next moment and roared: "After I leave Nanshan alive, I will definitely fulfill the wish of the Great Elder and carry forward the spirit of Nanshan!"
Quiet.
Silent.
Including Li Qingshui, the three of them were stunned in place.
"You...... It's really incurable......" Li Qingshui reacted, embarrassed, he had lived together for so many years, but he didn't find that Wang Xiaogui had such a firm heart.
Boom!
A dull sound of flesh colliding came, and Wang Xiaogui's body flew in response.
It was Yang Xing who made a move, and he was furious.
"I'll clean the portal for Nanshan today!" Yang Xing roared.
The dragon boy also breathed fire in his eyes and rolled up his sleeves.
"Forget it, let him go, you'll never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. I hope he won't feel guilty when he thinks of Nanshan in the future. Li Qingshui helplessly glanced at Wang Xiaogui, who was lying on the ground wailing, and then looked at Long Zai and the others, and said, "Senior sister is still waiting for us to go to Huang'an City together, don't let her wait in a hurry, let's go." ”
Yang Xing and Long Zai stopped their movements when they heard this.
"I'll clean you up when I come back. ”
"Where are you going, take me with you. ”
......
Huang'an City, under the city wall full of traces of time;
The beautiful girl led four young men with long swords to the city.
The girl was very beautiful, just like the most beautiful flower of the season, which amazed this barren land and attracted the attention of passers-by on the road.
It was Wu Wanqiu, who came with Li Qingshui and Yang Xing.
Wu Haishan got the news that the largest auction venue in Huang'ancheng, "Xinyang Auction House", would have a "Space Array Stone" auction today, so he specially asked them to go down the mountain to see if they could buy it.
The Space Array Stone, as the name suggests, is related to space.
It is a small formation that allows living people to carry out spatial teleportation "anytime, anywhere" without being restricted by cultivation, and it is very precious, and only the top powerhouses have the ability to make it. Generally, it will not be spread to the market, those big people are not short of money, and these array stones are passed down to save the lives of their disciples, and they will not be taken out and sold.
The Xinyang auction house got one out of nowhere, and it began to advertise it a few days ago, wanting to sell it at a high price, which attracted a lot of people.
Such a powerful means of preserving life, everyone desires, and the powerful people around Huang Ancheng have come.
Li Qingshui smiled when he knew that he had come to buy the Space Array Stone, he understood that this was the Great Elder taking precautions, looking for a way for his disciples to leave Nanshan.
He wanted to use the Qingyun Sect and other forces to send his disciples away with a spatial array stone that could not be tracked and did not have specific coordinates, and he had good intentions.
It's a pity that these disciples don't know anything about this, and they even coerce the Great Elder to sacrifice Nanshan with death, which is really chilling.
If they could really be safely sent out of Nanshan by the Great Elder one day, would they also be in tears when they looked at the north one night, thinking of that kind old man and recalling all their absurdities?
Walking into Huang'an City, a strong smell of red dust came to my face;
On stage, put on makeup and prepare to open your voice.
Covered in blood, the monster hunter who has just returned from hunting.
A child crying after being robbed of a rock sugar gourd by a companion.
A woman leisurely carrying venison ready to cook at home.
Homeless man on his knees begging along the street.
The ordinary things in the city have painted a beautiful picture of red dust.
Li Qingshui was infected by the lively atmosphere in the city, and suddenly felt that it was actually good to be a mortal.
Plain and bland, not fighting or grabbing.
In a small town where you can see the green mountains and rivers, buy a small courtyard of your own.
Marry a beautiful woman, make it at sunrise and rest at sunset.
When you are happy, you talk about wine with your three friends, and when you are lost, you gently hold your lover's jade hand and comfort each other.
In ordinary life, experience the happiness of being a human being.
This may be the true meaning of coming to the world.
It's just a pity that the ordinariness that these ordinary people can reach has become a luxury for Li Qingshui now.
The rivers and lakes have entered, and this life is uneasy.
Only hold the sword in your hand and cut out the Taiping Heaven!
"Senior sister, do you have any silver with you?" Li Qingshui said.
"What's wrong?" Wu Wanqiu asked.
Long Tsai and the others also stopped.
"I ......" Li Qingshui's eyes fell on the old man selling rock sugar gourds not far away, and said, "I want to eat a string of rock sugar gourds." ”
Craving rock sugar gourds?
The four of them were stunned when they heard this, this little junior brother who only cares about cultivation on weekdays, actually has such a little hobby?
"Why do you all look at me with such strange eyes? Can't I eat rock sugar gourd?" Li Qingshui said with a smile.
"This is what children eat, little junior brother, why are you so immature. Long Tsai said.
"I ...... It's a child, too. Li Qingshui smiled lightly, and then walked towards the old man selling rock sugar gourds.
Wu Wanqiu was stunned when she heard this.
Indeed, she had forgotten, forgotten that the boy in front of her was only a thirteen-year-old child. No matter how mature his mind is, he is still just a child after all, he will cry, laugh and make trouble, and he will want delicious food when he sees it.
was originally innocent, but it was because of the declining Nanshan that he carried so much at a young age.
Thinking of this, Wu Wanqiu couldn't help but feel distressed again.
"I want to eat it too!" his face was already swollen like a pig's head, but Wang Xiaogui didn't forget to eat it, and rushed forward shouting.
"It's so sweet. ”
On the way to the Xinyang Auction House, Li Qingshui and the four of them followed behind Wu Wanqiu with a string of rock sugar gourds.
It's like an older sister taking her four younger brothers shopping, it's very warm.
"You're embarrassed, too. Long Tsai licked the rock sugar gourd in his hand and glanced at Wang Xiaogui, who was intoxicated with the deliciousness.
Yang Xing also glared at him fiercely.
Wang Xiaogui suddenly showed timidity, lowered his head, and moved a few steps to the side.
"I hope that ten years from now, the five of us will still be able to get together and eat rock sugar gourds. Li Qingshui smiled, the sun shone on his delicate face, which was very good-looking.
"Ten years?" Wang Xiaogui said incredulously: "Can we live that long?"
"Hopefully. Li Qingshui said.
"Oh. Wang Xiaogui said disappointedly: "I thought you had some way to live." ”
"Hey, what's going on up ahead?" Wu Wanqiu wondered.
Li Qingshui: They looked forward.
I don't know what happened in front of me, many people were watching, and some were noisy, as if someone was arguing about something.
"Less... Young master, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to sprinkle water on you, spare me, spare me, young master, I kowtow to you. ”
In the middle of the crowd, a young man in a patched cloth shirt knelt in front of a young man in a gorgeous costume and begged for mercy.
The young man in cloth was about ten years old, his dirty little face was full of tears, and he knelt on the ground, looking very pitiful.
The young man in Chinese clothes was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a white and tender face, and he didn't look like a wicked person, but when he saw the hands of the young man in cloth stretched out to beg for mercy, he showed disgust, slapped it away, and said, "Get out! Don't touch me with your dirty hands." ”
The cloth-clothed boy looked frightened, quickly stopped, retracted his hand, and said while crying, "Yes... I'm sorry. ”
"My mother specially gave me customized clothes in "Lindu", and you got dirty, just say sorry and it's over?" The young man in Chinese clothes actually laughed at this moment, but his eyes were full of coldness.
The cloth-clothed boy bowed his head and cried aggrievedly, helpless and very pitiful.
"Young Master Jin, Xiao Qi has just come to work in "An Yulou", and he is young and stupid. was originally reluctant to accept him, but because his mother was riddled with a serious illness and urgently needed money and silver for treatment, the old man moved his compassion to leave him behind. I thought it would be easiest for him to serve tea and pour water, and he would be competent, but he didn't expect him to cause such a disaster today. I also asked Young Master Jin to forgive him once for the sake of his young age, and he must be strictly disciplined when he turns around. An old woman came forward to apologize.
This is the owner of An Yulou, Mrs. Huang.
"Yes, Young Master Jin, just splashed a few drops of tea, take it off, can't the slave family wash it for you, don't be angry, be careful of getting angry." Hurry up and rest in the building with the slave family, the wine has been warm for you for a while. A woman with heavy makeup also stepped forward to persuade peace.
Wang Jin gently stroked the woman's charming face, smiled slightly, and said: "It's just a cheap life, since you value it so much, then I ...... it."
"Kill him. ”
What the!
Kill him?!
The hearts of everyone who had just fallen were lifted again in an instant.
Wang Jin, the second young master of the "Wang family", the first force in Huang'an City, is really as arrogant and ruthless as rumored.
Just because he spilled a few drops of tea, he wanted to take someone's life?
Is...... Brutal.
Xiao Qi has left people with a very simple and sensible impression on weekdays, everyone doesn't want him to have an accident, he is very anxious, but there is no way, he doesn't dare to offend Wang Jin.
"Senior Brother Yang Xing. Li Qingshui, who was watching from the sidelines, spoke.
"What?" Yang Xing saw from the side, his eyes were about to erupt into flames.
"Do you think Xiao Qi's life is cheap?"
"It's not cheap. Yang Xing shook his head without thinking about it, and said, "All beings are equal." ”
"Do you think Xiao Qi's life is not as good as that person wearing extremely ugly clothes?"
Li Qingshui's voice was not loud or small, but everyone present heard it in their ears.
They were all startled, and looked at Li Qingshui with a shocked face.
Where did the young man who didn't know the height of the sky came from, although it was a good thing to speak up for righteousness bravely, but to provoke the second young master of the Wang family in Huang'an City?
It's not a smart move.
Li Qingshui was outside the city when he killed Tang Mintao, so everyone at the scene didn't know him.
I just feel that this good-looking young man's actions today are indeed a bit reckless, and I am afraid that this matter can no longer be good.
"His rotten clothes, it's not uncommon for me to give me, where can it be worth Xiao Qiyi's life. Yang Xing looked at Wang Jin, who was pale, and said with a smile.
"Then you ......" Li Qingshui looked at Yang Xing and said, "Why don't you go up and beat him?"
