Chapter 22: Rift (1)
It's been a long time since dinner, but the kitchen lights are still on, and Gu Aweng's busy figure is reflected in the window, and his figure is a little rickety. Po stood outside the house, looking at the silhouette on the window, and suddenly felt a sour nose.
This was the first time she had made a hasty decision without consulting Gu Aweng. Since she lost her family at the age of six, she has been relying on Gu Aweng here, and never thought that one day she would hide it from him and do something reckless.
It's just that now the life and death of another person who is very important to her is uncertain, and it is related to the slaughter of the village back then, she can't continue to sit on the mountain and wait for news indifferently no matter what.
She's going down the mountain.
After a while, Po gritted his teeth and walked out of the courtyard quickly with the white iron sword.
The disciples of Shangyao have always slept very late, and they don't know if it is tradition or what, especially in this midsummer night. Ah Bao went from the back kitchen to the direction of the mountain gate, and met many disciples who were chatting, enjoying the coolness, and walking outside.
Everyone had different reactions when they saw Po, because she rarely came out to hang out on weekdays, and suddenly saw her outside the kitchen at this moment, most of the people's reactions were first surprised, and then lowered their voices and approached the ears of their companions next to them, whispering something. Among them, there were a few people who greeted her politely, and Ah Bao smiled back.
She walked briskly all the way, but fortunately she was not seen by the disciples of the Discipline Hall who were patrolling at night, and she had already reached the mountain gate with a stick of incense.
The mountain gate of Shangyao is guarded by two disciples during the day, and when it is over, it will activate the barrier on its own, and there will be no one to guard it at that time. Now that the time has passed, there is no one around.
Po was about to do the same as the way she had untied the barrier the last time she had secretly let Rhubarb go, when an exclamation suddenly came from the grass behind her, and she almost jumped in fright. Turning around suddenly, he saw a figure flashing out from behind the grass, thinking that he had been caught by a disciple of the Discipline Hall, but he didn't want that when the person walked to the light, the two of them looked at each other for a moment, and they all showed surprise.
Tang Sancai shook the silver ornaments on his head, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be you!" Then he patted his chest, as if he breathed a big sigh of relief: "I thought I was a disciple of the Discipline Hall!" You don't know, Senior Brother Zhou is not a good person to get along with, and I don't want to fall into his hands again! As he spoke, he brushed the dust off his body.
Po didn't react a little, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"What are you doing here at such a late hour?" Tang Sancai looked at her with big eyes for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands as if he suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Don't you also want to sneak down the mountain?" She had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and when she smiled, she narrowed into two curved crescents, which was very beautiful.
Without waiting for Ah Bao to answer, Tang Sancai grabbed her hand, pulled her to the mountain gate, pointed to the crystal clear barrier wall attached to the door, and said: "There are so many rules in this broken place, I want to go down the mountain during the day, and those disciples guarding the door also asked me for the elder's warrant, saying that I can't let go without permission." It's not that I haven't asked my master for advice, but I just didn't get permission. I thought about sneaking out at night, but I didn't expect there to be an enchantment! ”
She turned to Po and blinked, "I can't learn enchantment or anything, and I don't like to look at those weird patterns and spells when I'm a kid." Do you know how to hack this? ”
Ah Bao nodded in a daze, and then suddenly realized something, and hurriedly shook his head again, seeing that Tang Sancai understood for a while and was confused.
"Will you or won't?" Tang Sancai was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "You Central Plains women are really not happy at all!" ”
Seeing this, Ah Bao hurriedly waved his hand and gestured: "I can help you, but you have to promise not to tell others." She has never easily trusted other people's assurances, but for some reason, Tang Sancai in front of her is an exception.
However, Tang Sancai didn't understand what Ah Bao was doing, he just stared at her in a daze, and the two of them stood looking at each other, looking at each other, a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I forgot you can't talk." Tang Sancai realized his recklessness and spoke a little embarrassed.
Ah Bao smiled at her, raised his hand and pointed at the enchantment, signaling her to be optimistic, and then put his hand on it, according to the method of last time, the enchantment wall flickered a few times, and then turned into golden powder in her hand, and the night wind blew, like a firefly flying all over the sky.
Tang Sancai lost his mind when he looked at this scene.
Half an hour later, she jumped up with excitement. "I knew you were a good person, and you would definitely help me!" With that, she grabbed Bao's hand, dragged her and quickly ran out of the mountain gate, trotting down the mountain road.
Tang Sancai's steps were light, and his strength was much greater than he imagined, pulling Ah Bao, who had inconvenient legs and feet, to run fast on the rugged mountain road. Po even felt like a kite, being dragged by her to glide through the air.
Later, she learned that it was not Tang Sancai who had the ability to shrink the ground into inches, the reason why she ran fast was because of the shoes on her feet. The snow rainbow shoes are extraordinary, and people who have cultivated deeply can travel thousands of miles a day to get this magic weapon, but this little girl's mind is not on this at all, even if she has such a magic weapon, most of them are used by her as a tool to satisfy her playful thoughts.
It originally took more than half an hour to walk from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, but under the effect of Tang Sancai's snow rainbow shoes, it was completed in less than a stick of incense.
Po looked at the endless sea in front of him, and only felt like he had experienced a dream that was too real.
Tang Sancai supported his knees with his hands, and while calming his breathing, he looked towards the end of the sea, and faintly saw a little fishing fire flickering.
"Great! It's finally out! She clapped her hands happily and said with a smile: "I have been here for more than three months, and I have never left the mountain." Master either asks me to practice or copy books all day long, and if I continue like this, sooner or later the top of my head will be full of mushrooms! ”
Po couldn't help but laugh silently on the side.
Tang Sancai looked at her again and asked curiously, "I slipped out to play, what are you doing here?" ”
Thinking of the reason for going down the mountain, Ah Bao unconsciously smiled again, and his expression became heavy. She wanted to explain to Tang Sancai by gesture, but when she thought that Tang Sancai couldn't understand sign language, she took local materials, picked up a dead branch, and wrote on the sand on the ground: "Go find someone." ”
Tang Sancai's eyes lit up: "Looking for someone?" Looking for a lover? ”
Ah Bao didn't expect her to speak so bluntly, her face turned red, her hands trembled, and she accidentally pulled the word "person" on the ground.
"What's so embarrassing about that? You Central Plains women are like this, you don't even dare to tell the truth. Tang Sancai flattened his mouth and said, "That's it, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask!" ”
After saying that, as soon as she raised her hand, the short sword she used to compete with Yun Yan that day appeared in her hand. Po looked closely and found that the sword did not only show brilliance in the sun, but seemed to be inlaid with many night pearls, and it could also shine in the night.
"It's going to be Edgeworth's next." Tang Sancai glanced at Ah Bao and asked, "Do you need me to give you a ride?" ”
Po shook his head and smiled at her.
"Okay, then you can wait here for your lover to come, I'll go first!" With that, Tang Sancai threw the short sword into the air, jumped up lightly, stepped on the sword body in a burst of dazzling light, and flew above the sea in the blink of an eye.
Ah Bao looked at her figure for a long time, until he couldn't see it, then he took out the bone whistle from his cuff, calmed down, took a deep breath, and blew hard at the whistle. Unexpectedly, no sound was made.
Po was a little strange, and thought that the bone whistle fell to the ground and broke, so he raised it in front of his eyes, squinted one eye and examined it carefully.
"Do you humans blow whistles with your eyes instead of your mouth?" A light breeze blew behind him, and when the wind settled, a familiar voice sounded.
