Chapter 8 Departure
At night, Sansheng came to the village chief's house alone.
Sansheng pushed open the door of the house and said, "Village Chief, I'm here"
The village chief was looking at the white-fronted tiger painting in the house at this time, and when he saw Sansheng coming in, he didn't leave his eyes, but just said lightly: "Come in." β
Sansheng saw that the village chief was so engrossed, and he was also led to look at the big tiger painting on the wall, this tiger made a prostrate posture, grinning teeth, staring at the front with a fierce stare ahead, lifelike if he wanted to prey on the people who watched the painting, this shape reminded Sansheng of the big tiger in the forest, and said secretly: "This tiger won't be the one in the forest that is painted." β
The village chief suddenly spoke: "Sansheng, have you seen Xiyue?"
"Xiyue, who is it?" Sansheng really didn't know who the village chief was mentioning, so he said very suspiciously.
The village chief didn't answer Sansheng, but just said thoughtlessly: "Tomorrow, you will leave and rush to Shijin City." β
"However, I don't plan to go until next month. β
"Leaving tomorrow is" A pendant was thrown to Sansheng by the village chief: "Take this thing and go back." β
Sansheng accepted the pendant and wanted to ask why, but saw that the village chief had entered the inner room, and the intention of sending off the guests was very obvious, so he had to leave, glanced at the tiger on the wall, turned around and stepped out of the house.
"The village chief is very strange today, wait!" Sansheng, who returned to the house and thought about the strange actions of the village chief today, suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately summoned the spirit ghost in his body, and let it wander in the house. "If the village chief said that Xiyue is you, and the big tiger is related to the village chief, it is not strange that the village chief knows that I am leaving. β
"In this way, I have heard of a tiger carrying a woman into the forest before. When the clues were stitched together, Sansheng felt closer and closer to the truth: "I have long felt that the guards in the village are useless, but now it seems that it is because the village chief is not afraid of the attack of wild beasts outside the village at all." β
"Xiyue. Sansheng suddenly called, and the spirit ghost who was wandering around the house heard the name, stopped for a while, and looked at Sansheng with two eyes. "Sure enough, you are the Xiyue that the village chief said, but why did the village chief lead me to meet you. Although he knew that it was the village chief's doing, if he didn't know what his purpose was, he didn't know how to deal with it: "Forget it, anyway, I also gained a spirit ghost, and the village chief shouldn't have any malice." β
Sansheng took out the pendant given by the village chief from his arms, this is an amethyst pendant, Sansheng, who has been in the first spirit realm, can't see the flow of spiritual power, just mortal things, which makes him unable to guess the village chief's intention to give it to him.
"The village chief told me to rush to Shijin City tomorrow, I didn't want to, but now it seems that something very interesting should happen. Sansheng thought about it again and again, but decided to take the pendant and go to Shijin City tomorrow. "Come back, it's not good to let the stone see later. Sansheng recalled Xiyue, and said secretly in his heart: "Since you have decided to leave, let's leave tonight, and I don't want to cry too ugly when I say goodbye to Sun Lao and them tomorrow." Since he had an idea, he decided to leave tonight after the two of them fell asleep.
When he was a child, the village had fallen asleep, and only Sansheng got up from the bed, changed the linen clothes given by Sun Lao and carefully put in the package, changed into the scholarly robe, wore a short sword at the waist, tied his hair over the shoulder with a square scarf, and the makeup he wore when he went down the mountain. Ready, Sansheng looked at the stone that had fallen asleep with some sadness, left a letter on the bed explaining his departure, and left quietly.
There are more than three lives and one person who have no sleep tonight, and at this time in the Edgeworth Gate
"Zuo Cang, the elder sent a message saying that he would personally come to deal with the matter of the loss of the exercises, if it is found that our governor did not report it and deliberately stayed here, wouldn't we be finished. "The person who spoke was the White Tiger, Zuo Cang was the original name of the Qinglong, and the original name of the White Tiger was Youtian, the two were the outer disciples of the Thousand Martial Sect Yujian Mountain, and they were originally ordered to pursue the lost Imperial Sword Mountain entry method "Sword Raising Technique" to Shijin City, and then knew that the Sword Raising Technique was in the hands of the new Imperial Sword Gate, so he disguised himself inside, but because of the preferential treatment of the two of them by the Imperial Sword Gate, he finally decided to stay here and not return to the Imperial Sword Mountain, and changed his name from Mi Qi to the Qinglong White Tiger, thinking about "raising the sword technique" It's just an introductory exercise, Elder Yamauchi won't pay attention to it, and after a long time, he will forget about it, but he didn't expect that it was only a year, and the elder decided to come in person.
"Heaven, don't panic first, from the moment we worship the Imperial Sword Mountain, we will be branded, and the elders can find us from this, and it is useless to escape, it is better to wait for the elders to come and make plans. β
"That's all there is to it. β
"I hope the elders don't embarrass them. Zuo Qinglong looked at the Imperial Sword Gate that had turned off the lights and rested, and said worriedly. The two of them have limited talents, they are over twenty years old, they have no hope of ascending to the First Spirit Realm, and continuing to stay in the Imperial Sword Mountain is only to be a disciple of the outer sect who is ridiculed by the newcomers, it is better to live a comfortable life in the Imperial Sword Gate, so the two of them don't want the elder to be embarrassed by the Imperial Sword Sect, but it is difficult to say how the elders will deal with it if they secretly learn his sect's exercises.
The white tiger sighed deeply and said, "Yes, the eldest lady is still very cute." β
The voice turned back to Sansheng, the long night was long, and the ten-mile journey was too short for Sansheng today, but the majestic city gate of Shijin City could already be seen in three or two kung fu, but the night was deep, Sansheng had no good way to enter the city at this time, unlike in the village, just turn over a fence, so Sansheng chose to rest in the small tree outside the city gate for a night, looking at the high wall looming in the dark night, it was very unpleasant, the first time I came here was with Sun Lao and the two of them, but now I was alone in the tree to survive this long night, looking at the stars in the night sky, Sansheng couldn't help but think"Tomorrow morning, when they see the letter I left, I don't know how to react, I have been in Sun's hometown for so long, and now I want to leave and even say goodbye with a letter, will I blame the ruthlessness and unrighteousness. Sansheng lay next to the tree and smiled bitterly with a little self-deprecation: "In the future, every day there will be less of that bowl of clear soup and white porridge, and there will be less of Da Zhuang's strange story, I really don't know if my departure is meaningful." β
Xiyue seemed to feel Sansheng's sadness, and ran out by herself, hugging Sansheng in her arms, and caressing Sansheng's head.
"Sometimes it really feels like a mom. Sansheng saw Xiyue coming to comfort him, and his mood was also a lot lighter: "Don't worry, I'm fine, since I have come to this world, I have to break through, otherwise how can I be worthy of Uncle Heng who let me go down the mountain." β
The night was cold, the breeze was blowing the leaves, swaying, whispering, washing away some of the young man's sadness, but tonight the moonlight was particularly dazzling, reflected on the young man's face, the young man recalled the moment he woke up from this world, recalled the floating life that shocked the world, recalled the nothingness that left the "three lives", and also remembered the coldness that recovered from the sword, since life gave him three chances, since he brought him to this world, then he broke through this world.
The night was silent, the rising sun drove away the slight coolness of last night, the sunlight shining into the stone into the city showed the majesty of this place, and the carriage of trade woke up the city and the three lives who slept comfortably outside.
"It's already morning. Sansheng rubbed his eyes: "So now you have to think about how to enter the city?" At this time, Sansheng saw Qinglong and the two sneakily left the stone into the city, since they met acquaintances, the matter of entering the city was solved, and it was good to follow the two to see what they were doing, if it was interesting, it was natural not to miss Sansheng, and if it was boring, it was possible to take the two of them into the city smoothly, so thinking about it, Sansheng was naturally "duty-bound" Secretly followed the two, the two of them were impatient, running all the way, Sansheng had the experience of being found last time, and did not dare to follow too closely, three or four times around and around almost lost the traces of the two, fortunately the two did not go too far, stopped by the lake one or two kilometers outside the city, the scenery here is good, the water is clear and the trees are lush, there are often animals come here to drink, there is a small tree growing in the lake, the whole body is pitch black, there are bright red fruits on it, this small tree makes Sansheng quite familiar feeling, but although this tree is incompatible with the surroundings but people are fascinated, it is a natural ghostly workmanshipγ
It's good if a pair of lovers come here to play, but what do the two big men of Qinglong do here, but it makes Sansheng quite curious.
Qinglong and the two seemed to be a little anxious, so that they didn't find Sansheng hiding in the forest, the two leaned against the lake and tinkered with the things in their hands, and after a while, a small sword imprint oozing blue light appeared on the back of their hands, and then threw the things in their hands into the air, and turned into white birds and flew away.
"Uh, I'm in trouble......" Sansheng suddenly felt that he shouldn't come, if he didn't guess wrong, the blue light sword should be the mark of a certain sect, just like the soul mark branded by Sansheng Sect, this kind of mark is used to distinguish between friend and foe and ask for help, and the white bird Sansheng who was thrown away didn't know, it's no wonder that in Sansheng Sect, this kind of easily intercepted messenger tool doesn't exist at all, and it's normal for Sansheng not to know, but these two people are in this private meeting at this time, something must have happened, and the eyewitness Sansheng has somehow naturally hitched a ride on Qinglong and the two entered the city smoothly, even so, Sansheng still decided to leave here for a distance first, and then pretend to meet the twoγ
"Let's go, the elders should be here today. Qinglong patted the white tiger, who was already a dull wood: "Don't think too much, it'll be fine." β
The two of them didn't take a few steps before they saw Sansheng running over panting all the way, and they suddenly felt bad, and asked very vigilantly, "Why are you here?"
"Ha-hoo, ha-hu. Sansheng pretended to be panting and said intermittently: "I...... I won't ........ say I saw it...... The tryst between the two jungle ........ β
Qinglong raised his eyebrows, although he didn't know what the meant, he still understood the meaning of the tryst, and scolded in his heart, "The tryst is a wool." But he said very plainly: "Sansheng, don't talk nonsense." β
"Huh?" Sansheng pointed at the sluggish white tiger and roared: "It's all like this, don't you still admit it." Then he sobbed and said with a motherly expression that hated iron but not steel: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect Qinglong to be such a person." β
Qinglong finally couldn't calm down: "Roll the calf! **********************." (Omitted here, the ability is not enough, the scolding is too dirty, and the decoration cannot be done, and the direct harmony is in case of checking the water meter.) οΌ
"Oh, that's amazing. Sansheng was scolded, scolded a little dizzy, and unconsciously praised Qinglong.
Qinglong was also irritable about the fact that the elder should come recently, and he scolded him at this time, but he was much more comfortable, and returned to the original appearance of a humble son and said lightly: "Say, what do you want to do." β
The point is here, Sansheng naturally has to seize the opportunity and put on a wicked smile: "Take me into the city." β
"The village chief told me to rush to Shijin City tomorrow, I didn't want to, but now it seems that something very interesting should happen. Sansheng thought about it again and again, but decided to take the pendant and go to Shijin City tomorrow. "Come back, it's not good to let the stone see later.
