Chapter 40: The Slow Time Has No Heart
"I want to use my sister in exchange, and I don't agree. I won't betray her at any time. ”
Although the words left by the child are childish, people can't help but look forward to it, such a frank treatment, such a loyal treatment, such a moving person......
"Can you even give up the original purpose?" Bai Chuan muttered to himself, and suddenly with a wave of his big sleeves, the strong wind blew, and Hua Shao was attracted back by a huge gravitational force, and sat down next to Bai Chuan's snow-white clothes. The man looked like he was on top, and lowered his eyelashes to look at his dirty and broken little face, "You kid is stubborn, stay in Xinglin Mountain for the time being." ”
After Shirakawa finished speaking, he walked away.
"Wow?" Hua Shao sat in place in astonishment, he really couldn't understand what the idea of this man who was dressed very properly and looked like a woman, how he begged him not to accept him as an apprentice just now, at this time he refused his request, but agreed to be his master, what kind of reason is this?
"Ah, the master agreed."
Behind the dense apricot trees, many beautiful young men in white clothes and white socks suddenly flashed, and Hua Shao jumped three feet, pointing at them with trembling fingers, and his tone became incoherent, "Hell, it's really hell." Ming Ming ......: "Obviously, he spent a day climbing the mountain dozens of times, and the mountain is bare, and there is no half a figure, why are so many people suddenly popping out now?"
The older one of them kindly pulled up Hua Shao, who was already sitting completely on the ground, and when he caught a glimpse of the scars on his face and body, he whispered a few words to the people around him, and someone came over like a guide and led him to the dense forest.
It was a delicate-looking little girl who led the way for him, she looked at Hua Shao for a while, covered her mouth and smiled, her voice seemed to be crisp made of water bells, "Be careful, you have to follow my steps for a while, otherwise there will be big trouble." ”
Hua Shao has been looked down upon since he was a child, and he has rarely seen any beautiful women, and it can be said that there are many beautiful women, but he has no opportunity and time to pay attention to them, at that time...... He's mostly looking for something to eat. At this time, I was stared at by such a delicate little girl, and I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, his face was very dirty and wounded, and others could not see his red cheeks at the moment. This made Hua Shao feel a little more at ease, and cleared his throat, "Got it." "He's also a person who has lived under the overpass, of course, he has long discovered the strangeness on this mountain, and now that this little girl is talking, he has to be more careful.
The female disciple giggled, turned around and continued to walk forward, talking to him from time to time, "Although you look a little dirty, I admire you today." ”
Hua Shao was stunned, "Admire me?" ”
"Yes, I admire you, not only me, everyone here thinks so, I have been in Xinglin Mountain for five years, and you are the first person I have ever met who made the master willing to accept him as an apprentice."
Hua Shao felt very strange and asked rhetorically, "Aren't you?" "It's strange, obviously they are all dressed the same, aren't these young people the land of Shirakawa? But they did call him a master just now.
"Of course we are the apprentices of the master, but ......" the female disciple paused, her face flashed with sadness, "It's just ...... Master, there are other special reasons why he accepted us, and yours ...... It's not the same. ”
Hua Shao responded, not quite understanding the meaning of what she said, what's the difference? Did that mean they were wearing white clothes and he was dirty?
"Ah, by the way, you can be friends with everyone here, but never ask them about the past and their origins, this is a big taboo on Xinglin Mountain, you have to remember it." A strange figure suddenly stepped out of her feet, because she deliberately slowed down her pace because she took care of the layman who didn't know anything about footwork, however, Hua Shao completed the footwork very well, and when she took the last step, she almost bumped into her who didn't have time to take a step.
"Ahh The female disciple was caught off guard and looked as if she was about to take a few steps back, but fortunately, Hua Shao's hands were quick and grabbed her, and two adults stood side by side on the square size of the square brick at the same time, making this place look extremely crowded and cramped. The bodies of the two men were so close together that they could barely put a finger between the clothes on their chests.
The female disciple's white face was already as red as a boiled shrimp, and it was like a fire cloud in the sky, and a pair of small hands were clenched tightly, and she whispered to Hua Shao to thank her.
"Let's keep walking."
"Okay."
Odd! With the danger just now, this female disciple was not as big as when they first met, and introduced him to the situation of Xinglin Mountain, but Hua Shao was because he had been tossing for a day, and he didn't want to waste his physical strength by saying another word at all. So neither of them said anything more, just walked quietly one in front and one behind, until they bypassed a few blue-tiled houses on the top of the mountain, and suddenly an open field appeared in front of them, which seemed to be very different from the layout of the blue-tiled houses they had just seen...... How to say it, it seems that they all have an incredible structure, and Hua Shao is keenly aware that the entire big room here itself is a well-laid formation.
"Beautiful, isn't it? Here's what the master began to prepare these geniuses. The female disciple stopped and saw Hua Shao looking at her feet, and her face turned red again.
"You don't have to worry about stepping on the mechanism when you get here, you can walk as you like."
Hua Shao thought to himself that you would have said such an important thing, and then relaxed his whole body, but his nerves were still tense, and in an unfamiliar environment, he had the intuition and vigilance of an almost beast.
"This is no longer Xinglin Mountain, you see, the mountain over there is Xinglin Mountain, and we have been a long way away from there."
Hua Shao was surprised, and looked back in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, the cliff he had climbed countless times had turned into a dirt slope the size of a steamed bun, "Didn't we only walk for so long?" How did you come this far? ”
"That's what the master is capable of." The female disciple laughed, showing her white teeth again, and after laughing, she suddenly remembered something, stroked her arm, and lowered her head, "The master will wait for you inside, you can go in by yourself." ”
"Won't you come in with me?" Hua Shao was a little puzzled.
"Nope." The female disciple shook her head and refused, "If the master didn't call me, I can't go in." She turned around, turned around again, and said a little uneasy, "Master is actually a very good person, you don't have to be afraid." ”
Hua Shao thought in his heart, if he was afraid of him, he was afraid that he would not be able to accept him as an apprentice. But I still want to thank her for her kindness, so I smiled at her kindly, and the so-called smile is just a slight increase in the corners of the mouth.
However, the female disciple's face seemed to be red again, rubbing her hands, and finally mustered up the courage to say to Hua Shao, who was already preparing to enter, "My name is Lu Qing, and the senior brothers call me Qing'er." "I couldn't hear it clearly.
Hua Shao nodded, "Thank you so much, Qing'er." ”
Lu Qing nodded as if he was very satisfied, and jumped away.
Hua Shao took a breath and re-embarked on the road ahead, in front of him was a road made of white jade stone slabs, and houses made of the same white and shining jade, with an indescribable atmosphere and luxury, which seemed to be two worlds with this mountain peak. In any case, his goal has been achieved. This made Hua Shao very satisfied, stretched his muscles and bones that were badly broken, and gritted his teeth to go through this section.
Ahead, or beyond, his future, he can't foresee.
Walking through the courtyard, I saw Shirakawa sitting in the courtyard, he had already arrived, and he was looking at the saplings planted under the gazebo with his hands on his back, and turned his face to look at him when he heard his voice. The fact that this is a courtyard is actually because the roof of this place has not yet been covered, but it looks like an open shed.
"Blood Yan, it's the national flower of the Northern Underworld," Shirakawa said something he didn't want to close for no reason, leaning down to check the cracks in the rocks, and whispered, "It's the holy flower that can't crush her no matter how great the suffering is." He spoke in a low voice, as if he was just speaking to himself.
Hua Shao followed his line of sight, and sure enough, he saw a few small green grasses under the rocks, "Are these Blood Yan?" ”
Shirakawa nodded, stretched out his finger and stroked the longest green leaf twice, "It's really tenacious, and such a big rock can't stop her steps." ”
"It's still early, these blood girls are still young, and it's still very early to leave the flowers. When the blood flowers bloom here, it is time for her to come back. Shirakawa was talking to himself. When you enter Xinglin Mountain, you have to abide by the rules of the mountain, Xinglin Mountain has been isolated from the world for many years, and the surrounding area has been laid by me Qimen Dunjia Technique, there are always only people going out, no one coming in. Let me ask you, can you endure this loneliness? ”
Hua Shao didn't answer in a hurry, but thought about it and shook his head, "I don't promise that I will always abide by your rules, because I never wanted to stay here for the rest of my life, I, I still have very important people to protect." ”
Hearing such a declaration that did not match his age, Bai Chuan didn't react for a while, and paused for a moment before picking up his words, with a faint approving tone in his tone, "But, do you know that the side that guards is always the most bitter. It's an errand that we can do for one day, but it's hard for a lifetime. And...... Protecting others is addictive, and if one day the other party has a better home, the loss is also very comparable. ”
Hua Shao looked at the blood Yan who was struggling to grow out under the rock, and said sullenly, "I don't understand these big truths you said, I'm a stupid person, I only know how to do what I think in my heart, I want to protect her, so I work hard to do it." Other...... I do not know. ”
"You're honest," Shirakawa affirmed the kid again, as if he had made some kind of determination, "Well, from today onwards, I'll give you the ability to protect others." Don't worry, I won't keep you for a lifetime, and when you learn your skills well and you feel that there is no problem, you can come to me, and after my pass, you can go down the mountain. ”
Hua Shao nodded, and solemnly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, "The master is above, and the disciple Hua Shao will meet the master." ”
The simple recognition ceremony can be regarded as finalizing the relationship between the two, Bai Chuan smiled with satisfaction, motioned for him to get up, and said to him kindly, "I'll be here today, go back and wash myself well, and come here tomorrow." Remember? ”
"Yes, disciple remembered." Hua Shao replied respectfully with his hands down. He was very impressed by what Bai Chuan had just said, he found that he shouldn't judge people by their appearance, this man with a good-looking woman's face is probably really the same as what Butler Bai said, he is very capable, right?
"Lu Qing has already gone back, do you want to take you back to Xinglin Mountain for the teacher?" Bai Chuan looked at Hua Shao and asked.
Hua Shao shook his head confidently, "No, I already remember the way I came!" Shirakawa smiled with satisfaction and motioned for him to leave.
After Hua Shao's figure disappeared completely, he suddenly raised his hand, and a silver light flashed in his hand, and with a "duh" sound, a slight silver needle was hit on the wall made of white jade, looking at the crescent moon that gradually revealed his face in the sky, and muttered to himself, "The thirty-first." I hope this can take over the responsibility of guarding you, Yan'er, how are you doing now? ”
