Chapter 50: Red Lotus and White Crane (5)
Because it was getting late, we planned to rest on the mountain for one night before going down, and the blue pottery girl, or should we call her the purple pottery girl, finally stopped playing tricks and explained to us her identity, she was the maidservant beside Xiao Hese, who had served by Xiao Hese's side for many years, and had no sisters, everything was pretended by herself.
After the Battle of Qishan, in addition to us, there were also many so-called famous and decent disciples who came here, saying that they were slaying demons and eliminating demons, but they wanted to take advantage of the weakness to pick up a leak and catch a few disciples in their sect to go back to ask for rewards and invitations.
She found us a place to stay on the mountain, but she politely refused the suggestion to go down with us, insisting on staying here and waiting for Xiao Hese.
Seeing that she has made up her mind, we can't force it, most of the main altar of the Qishan cult has been destroyed in the war, and the things inside have also been snatched up by those so-called famous and decent people, fortunately, there are still some mountain fruits and game on the mountain, my senior brother and I looked around, got some food, and washed and rested after eating early.
However, perhaps there are too many things that happened today, and most of them are stories about Kunlun and Tianheng Dao Sect fighting and killing, and at night, I had another dream, in which I stood in the middle of the huge square, holding a sword in my hand, facing the black oppressive crowd, and was seriously injured.
Those men wanted to kill me, and one by one they surrounded me in the middle with frightened faces, but they did not dare to come forward, and in the midst of them there was a man dressed in red and dressed like a bridegroom, which I felt very familiar, and when I looked intently, I saw the face of my senior brother.
He stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at me with a look of horror and a look of sadness in his eyes, as if he didn't want me to make enemies of those people.
After a long time, he stretched out his hand to me and said softly, "Ajing, you let go." β
He only told me to let go, but he didn't let the people who besieged me let go, what if I really put down my sword, but those people came to kill me?
I stood still and didn't move, holding my sword against everyone present, like a trapped beast locked in a cage that was clearly scarred but wanted to fight to the death in exchange for freedom, like an outlaw who still wanted to seize the last trace of life to escape in the face of many sieges, the snow in the sky fell quietly, on my face, on my body, on my heart, it was clear that it was still cold, in the vast white ice and snow, I saw that under my feet, slowly spreading a piece of blood.
Woke up, looking at the dark night sky in a daze, there was silence on Qishan, there was not even a human voice, occasionally there was the cry of birds, beasts and insects in the mountains and forests, lying on the bed in a daze, although a long time has passed, Qishan seems to still hear the hoarse cries of the injured or dying people in that battle.
I had the dream just now, but when I was in Luohe City, it was just a dream at that time, and it was not as clear as it is now.
I felt very uncomfortable, as if something was pressing on my heart, and I wanted to break through, but I couldn't break free.
Sit up from the bed, subconsciously touch the jade pendant placed at the head of the bed, this is given to me by my senior brother, when we were in Luohe City, he said that he would always accompany me and protect me, even if anyone wanted to kill me, he would not hesitate to kill those people, but in the dream, what he promised me, it was clear that he did not do it.
Fingers carefully rubbed the word 'Jing' on the jade pendant, and then gradually settled down, turned around, and was about to sleep, inadvertently glanced outside, which suddenly startled me.
There was a person standing at the door and window, not a senior brother, not Shen Xingshen, and not a purple pottery girl.
I could tell it was a man, thin, silent, motionless, standing there as if he couldn't even breathe.
The evening breeze blew through his long hair, and I saw the long sword he carried, as if I saw a young man in my memory who could never see clearly.
After a moment of silence, he asked tentatively, "Is it Senior Brother?" β
Naturally not.
There is a purpose in asking this question, and if this person came to me out of malice, then he must be afraid to know that there are other people on this mountain besides me.
If it weren't for malice, then I spoke first to remind me that I had discovered him, and perhaps I could test his intentions.
But he still didn't speak, and stood motionless outside the window, like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© man.
I got out of bed, put on my shoes, and approached cautiously, trying to see what he wanted to do, but at this moment, there was a strange sound of the flute outside, and when I heard the sound of the flute, the man suddenly raised his head, as if he was struggling a little and did not want to leave here, but he could not ignore the call of the flute, and finally left.
I hurriedly opened the room, but saw that the courtyard was empty, and there was no one, but the flute still sounded.
Following the direction of the flute, at first you could see the figure of the man hidden in the bushes flashing by, but his figure was too fast, and after a while, he could not catch up at all, and could only listen carefully to the flute to identify their position.
chased until the river, but saw a person standing under the moonlight.
Dressed in red, with long hair like a waterfall, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is obviously a teenager, but he has the same softness as a woman.
He was the only one around, and the little fox didn't know where he had gone, and the moonlight was sprinkled in the river, and the cool evening breeze from time to time kneaded a piece of broken silver, and the rippling waves reflected on his face, a sad and beautiful figure, like a ghost lost in the middle of the night.
Hearing my footsteps, he put down his flute, turned to look at me, seemed to be a little surprised, and asked, "Miss Jing, meet again." β
I had met this person not long ago, Ji Lianhua, the leader of the Posa Sect in Southern Xinjiang.
The senior brother said, don't look at him now like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, his actual age is no less than fifty or sixty years old.
This makes it a little hard for me to accept.
When he asked us for directions to the Jialan Mountain, I thought he was gone, but he was still wandering in the mountain.
Seeing that he had already discovered me, he could only walk over and say to him: "It's okay to be idle, come out for a walk, I didn't expect to meet Ji Gongzi." β
Ji Lianhua chuckled in a low voice, and said, "If what I expected is good, the girl should be with your senior brother at this time, at the main altar of the cult on the top of Qishan Mountain, you can go so far by going out and walking casually, aren't you afraid that your senior brother will worry?" β
As he spoke, he walked up to me, with a wicked and deceitful expression, which seemed to have some threatening meaning.
"The girl doesn't see that her cultivation is high, and she doesn't know any martial arts, so if you leave your senior brother and come to this kind of place, if you meet any bad people, no one will save you."
I began to be scared in my heart, this person can become the leader of the Po Sa Sect, his mind and means are definitely not comparable to ordinary people, but he is too young, so he always makes me relax my vigilance, now that I think about it, this person is from Southern Xinjiang, and he has a deep hatred for our Central Plains martial arts, what should I do if he wants to kill me?
I subconsciously stepped back, forcibly calmed down, and said, "A figure appeared in my courtyard, and the one who chased him all the way should be Childe's people." β
Ji Lianhua paused and asked rhetorically: "Are you talking about Xiao Xian'er?" β
Little fairy? The man just now......
I was stunned, thinking back to Ji Lianhua's name, the little fox was called Xiaohua'er, and the man was called Xiaoxian'er, and it was always a little ......
After a moment, he still couldn't believe it: "You said that the hero who was very cold, had a very fast body, and looked very high in martial arts just now was called Xiao Xian'er?" β
Ji Lianhua nodded very seriously, and sighed helplessly: "I don't know his name, I only know that he is a sword immortal, what is the name of a little fairy?" β
I don't know why, I suddenly have the feeling that after the big brother of the Sword Immortal woke up, he knew that Ji Lianhua had given him a name, and he would chase him to the ends of the earth and kill him.
Listen to Ji Lianhua again: "Although Xiao Xian'er is a puppet made by me, sometimes she doesn't obey my control and often runs out for a walk, but the girl can rest assured, his personality is quite gentle, and if he doesn't receive the master's order, he won't attack others at will." β
I let out a sullen sigh, thinking back to the figure I had just seen, and it always felt a little familiar.
Seeing what was on my mind, Ji Lianhua asked, "The girl seems to have something on her mind." β
I subconsciously shook my head: "No." β
But I heard Ji Lianhua smile again, and said: "In the battle of Southern Xinjiang that year, although I was still a seven or eight-year-old child, I have participated in many things, whether it is Tianheng Dao Sect, or Kunlun Gate, it can be said that no one will know more about their affairs than me, if the girl has any doubts, but it is inconvenient for your senior brother to know, you can explain it to me, just ...... I guess I invited me to eat that roast chicken to thank the girl. β
The things about Liu Weiyang in Xu Kaiyang's hands were all given to him by the people who taught him, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, maybe Ji Lianhua is right, in this world, no one will know more about Kunlun Sect and Tianheng Dao Sect than him.
I was silent for a moment and asked, "Then do you know Xu Jingrong?" β
Hearing my question, Ji Lianhua's beautiful eyes suddenly rose, and she looked at me fixedly for a while before she hesitated: "Xu Jingrong, ......"
After a pause, he sighed and sighed: "That's a very powerful and regrettable person." β
He said, smiled helplessly, and said: "If I tell you about her today, I'm afraid that your senior brother will get angry and chase me to the ends of the earth, or not, it should be a secret between you and me. β
He looked around tentatively, and added as if he was very jealous: "Remember, don't mention these things to anyone, especially your senior brother, and don't let him know that I told you these things." β
