Chapter 42 Memories are like water, nostalgia is impermanent
Xiao He and his entourage walked for another month, and finally crossed the border between Liangzhou and Jingzhou and came to Xiangxi.
Xiangxi has many poisonous insects since ancient times, the sky gradually darkened, a few people came to a valley, there is a small river gurgling through, the terrain is flat, is an excellent foothold.
Xu Dabeard settled the horses and said to Xiao He:
"Xiao He, you go with me to hunt some game, how about it?"
Xiao He readily agreed, and after the two informed Luo Fanchen and Murong Yan, they went into the dense forest.
Luo Fanchen and Murong Yan lit a bonfire by the river, and the two sat by the river, looking into the air, at this time there were already stars, and a crescent moon showed their faces shyly.
From time to time, the chirping of owls could be heard around, and the sound of the wind was in harmony, and the bonfire seemed to dance, and the sparks swayed and fluttered in the air.
Murong Yan threw a stone into the river, and the stone fell into the water with a "plop" sound, causing a circle of ripples.
"Chen'er, do you remember the first time we met?" Murong Yan looked at the river and asked softly.
"Of course I remember... At that time, it was the master and Aunt Murong who found me in this Xiangxi Laolin..."
Luo Fanchen said, his thoughts couldn't help but drift to that night ten years ago...
...........
"Zhao Gongzi, my young lady is choked by the bumps of this carriage, let's rest our feet and leave..."Murong Yan's maid Xiaofeng lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted to Zhao Lingfeng.
Zhao Lingfeng looked up, it was late at this time, and the old forest that had entered Xiangxi had been gone for a long time, and everyone was probably a little uncomfortable, so he immediately said:
"Okay, let's rest here and hit the road tomorrow!"
Zhao Lingfeng and Xu Dabeard got off the horse, instructed everyone not to leave the convoy casually, and laid a "demon cover" around the periphery.
"Senior Brother Lingfeng, you said that Miss Rou won't make any trouble again, right?" asked Xu Dabeard.
"No, that 'thousand-legged centipede' scared her a lot, I don't expect her to be so reckless. Zhao Lingfeng replied.
As he was speaking, a wolf howl came from deep in the dense forest, and a fireball rose into the sky not far away, exploding in the air, blooming like fireworks, and suddenly several miles were clearly illuminated by this light.
"These demon wolves actually went deep into Xiangxi to hunt for food, Senior Brother Xu, you stay here to protect everyone, especially Miss Murong, I'll go find out!" Luo Fanchen turned into green smoke after speaking, and went straight to the goal.
Xu Dabeard saw that Zhao Lingfeng's kung fu disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he didn't ask for his opinion, so he couldn't help muttering, but he still obediently walked to Murong Yan's carriage and instructed:
"Miss Murong, Senior Brother Zhao has gone to investigate the situation, you must not get out of this light mask, otherwise the demon beast is fierce and your life will not be guaranteed!"
"I know, I'll stay..."Murong Yan replied, but she had other calculations in her heart.
"Xiaofeng, come here..."Murong Yan whispered to Xiaofeng, and then muttered something in her ear.
Xiao Feng's eyes suddenly widened and said:
"Miss, this is absolutely unacceptable, it's too dangerous, if you have something that is long and short, how can I explain it to the old lady..."
"It's okay, I have my own measure, there will be no danger, you go quickly, otherwise I won't pay attention to you anymore..."Murong Yan threatened.
"Okay, you're going to be back later," Xiaofeng said.
"Got it, go quickly, go quickly..."Murong Yan urged.
Xiaofeng got out of the carriage, she walked up to Xu Dabeard in small steps, and said:
"Xu Zhenren, our young lady has always been very curious about you cultivators, and wants to ask me to ask you something..."
That Xiaofeng and Xu Dabeard were chatting, and Murong Yan quietly got out of the carriage and plunged into the dense forest with a few jumps while people were not paying attention.
Murong Yan walked slowly, the trees in the old forest of Xiangxi were extremely tall, entangled by countless vines, impermeable, and there were no five fingers under the trees, and a thin layer of miasma crossed the surface of her feet from time to time, making her feel a little cool.
She regretted it at this time, she was like getting lost in this old forest, she was dizzy, and she didn't know the direction in front of her.
Murong Yan was ruthless, quickened her pace, and suddenly tripped over something under her feet and fell to the ground.
She quickly got up, lit the fire, and saw a child lying on the ground, unkempt and muddy on his clothes. His eyes were closed, his chest hunched together, apparently alive.
Murong Yan hurriedly stepped forward and shook the child, calling:
"Wake up, it's dangerous here!"
The child opened his eyes, and Murong Yan saw his eyes clearly, they were as clear and translucent as autumn water, hitting people's hearts.
"Are you human, there are wolves chasing me..."The child spoke, and he looked at Murong Yan in horror.
"Come with me..."Before Murong Yan finished speaking, several pitch-black things fell from the sky and surrounded the two of them.
"Hehe, it's really lucky, let's dedicate these two people to Lord Silver Wolf King, his old man will definitely be very happy..."One of the demon wolves said with two glowing green eyes.
"Isn't it, this woman's fine skin and tender flesh, and the smell of this child's body are really attractive. Another demon wolf said.
Murong Yan pulled out her whip and shouted:
"You brutes, don't get out of here!"
"Yo, you stinky, do you still want to be a hero when you die? brothers, let's go together!"
Those demon wolves pounced together, and in this lightning and stone fire, several streamers flashed, shooting right on these demon wolves, they were knocked to the ground, and their bodies were pierced one by one.
Zhao Lingfeng descended from the sky, he walked up to Murong Yan's side, and asked:
"Miss Murong, you're not injured, why did you sneak out again?"
Murong Yan was embarrassed and lowered her head. But the little child came out from behind her, and he blinked and said:
"Uncle, thank you for saving us..."
Seeing this, Zhao Lingfeng hurriedly leaned down, and only then did he see the child's appearance clearly. This child is about six or seven years old, and although his face is full of muddy water, he still can't hide the aura that is revealed.
Zhao Lingfeng fell in love with this child at first sight, and he asked:
"What's your name, and why are you in this old forest in Xiangxi?"
"My name is Luo Fanchen and I don't remember why I'm here. I don't know where I'm from, I just remember my name..."Luo Fanchen whispered.
"I'm afraid this kid was frightened and lost his memory," Murong Yan said.
"You're a girl, are you, would you like to worship me as a teacher?" Zhao Lingfeng said suddenly, even he didn't understand why he was so impulsive.
Luo Fanchen hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed three times:
"Luo Fanchen is willing to worship you as a teacher!"
"Good... Get up" Zhao Lingfeng helped Luo Fanchen up, the more he looked at this doll, the more he liked it in his heart, "My name is Zhao Lingfeng, and I cultivate in the Martial God Hall of the Shushan Sect, and our Martial God Hall only accepts male disciples." But I, Zhao Lingfeng, wanted to break this rule today, this 'Mixed Yuan Qingyu' is a treasure given to me by the master, you can accept him..."
Zhao Lingfeng's thumb and index finger combined to inject a trace of magic power into the "Mixed Yuan Qingyu", urging the power hidden in it.
Luo Fanchen took this treasure and was very happy, she said to Zhao Lingfeng:
"Master, what's the use of this thing?"
"This treasure can save you from being visited by cultivators, I have cast a spell, unless it is a scattered immortal power, no one will know that you are a female baby..."Zhao Lingfeng said.
"I will definitely not leak it to others, master, please rest assured..."Luo Fanchen's mind was exquisite, and Zhao Lingfeng understood as soon as she said it.
"I, Murong Yan, will also abide by this secret, and will never reveal it to the fourth person..."Murong Yan hurriedly said.
"Yes, this is the secret of the three of us, right, master?" Luo Fanchen said mischievously.
"Haha, yes, it's our secret, you will go back to Shushan with me after this mission is completed, and the master will teach you the Taoism of Shushan, and you won't have to be afraid of these demon beasts in the future..."
The three of them laughed and slowly walked out of the old forest.
Luo Fanchen's young heart also faintly felt that he had come to a new world.
...........
"Giggles..."A burst of shrill voices came into Luo Fanchen and Murong Yan's ears, interrupting their thoughts.
"It's not good, there's a very strong ghost aura!" Luo Fanchen hurriedly got up and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and a cloud of black smoke rolled towards them.
Several of their horses neighed and broke free from the reins of the trunk of the tree, as if a catastrophe was coming.
"Hehe, it's really a narrow road, my ghost Luo must clean up after you stinky Taoists this time!"
"Oh no, this ghost Rob is much stronger than last time, has he regained his former strength?" Luo Fanchen bit her lip lightly, she knew that a fierce battle was coming.
