Chapter 8 Flower House Peer
The two stayed in the ruins for a long time, and then Tong Jun found a relatively flat boulder, stood in the center of the wreckage, carved a few words on the stone "Grandpa Qu Tianzhong's Tomb", and put the upper part of the black sword in front of the tomb, and Tong Jun planned to carry the hilt part of the sword. Carrying the broken sword behind his back, Tong Jun kowtowed three times to the simple stone tablet, lowered his head and said to Bai Xin, "Let's go." ”
Bai Xin was looking around for traces of Zhiyou, but there were no clues. Seeing that Tong Jun didn't mention Zhiyou, he didn't take the initiative to talk about Zhiyou, so he hugged Qinglong to catch up with Tong Jun and left.
Tong Jun was silent on the road, Bai Xin followed behind him, and said softly: "That...... Tong Jun, I'm sorry, maybe I'm too timid......"
"No, it's me who should apologize, I was too fierce to you before, obviously you saved me. Tong Jun himself is a kind child, and at this moment he calmed down a little and said, "Blame me for being too weak." ”
"Don't blame yourself too much, grandpa sacrificed his life to let you live, you have to cherish your life more in the future, and live with grandpa's share. Bai Xin said.
"Hmm. ”
"Before leaving, grandpa told me to send you back to your hometown, don't worry, I will definitely send you to the Goddess Peak safely. ”
"Thank you. ”
"Uh... Have you ever been back to your hometown before?"
"Nope"
"Do you know how to find your people when you get there?"
"I don't know. Grandpa hasn't had time to talk to me about anything......."
Tong Jun obviously didn't want to speak, and walked through the jungle by himself, and Bai Xin was silent.
After walking a distance, Tong Jun suddenly remembered Zhiyou, who had been immersed in the pain of losing his grandfather before, and had no extra thoughts to think about Zhiyou, at this moment Tong Jun gradually recovered his thoughts, and asked Bai Xin: "Zhiyou, where did Zhiyou go?"
Bai Xin didn't expect Tong Jun to remember Zhiyou, but he didn't know Zhiyou's whereabouts. Besides, Tong Jun didn't know that Zhiyou had deceived him, so Bai Xin had to spread his hands and say, "I don't know where Zhiyou went, after Grandpa Qu knocked you unconscious, he asked me to take you away quickly, in that case, I have no time to take care of Zhiyou." ”
"Oh, yes. ”
Bai Xin felt that Tong Jun seemed to be blaming him, or maybe he was too careful, Tong Jun was still shuttling through the woods with a blank face, and Bai Xin followed closely behind him.
Tong Jun whispered: "Zhiyou should also be dead." ”
Bai Xin said: "Maybe, the situation at that time couldn't take her away at all, but I'm not sure, I hope she's okay." ”
While the two were talking, a voice came from behind them: "Little brother in front, wait for me!"
The two of them stopped when they heard the sound, and saw a woman coming from behind, the woman had sword eyebrows and eyes, her eyes were sharp, the cyan jade ring tied her hair neatly, her white hair was like a waterfall to her waist, she was wearing a snow-white fluffy coat, a black tight belt was tied around her waist, she stepped on thin black boots, a black short scimitar was tied on the right side, and two long-staple cotton white hems on the left and right sides of her waist rose and fell behind her with her jump. The woman's movements were agile and fast, and she caught up with the two in a blink of an eye, and it could be seen from her movements that she was a woman with profound martial arts skills.
The woman caught up behind Bai Xin and said, "May I ask the two little brothers, are you going to reach the Central Plains through Mosen?"
"Yes. Bai Xin said, "I don't know what my sister is doing?"
"Hello, my name is Hualou, and I want to go through Mosen. But all my companions have been buried in the Mosen, and I am the only one who has survived to this day. The woman said politely, "Do you have any other partners?"
A trace of sadness flashed in Tong Jun's eyes, and his expression became dark. Bai Xin patted Tong Jun on the shoulder and said to Hua Lou: "Unfortunately, our companions are also dead. ”
A trace of sympathy crossed Hua Lou's face and said, "I'm sorry, please mourn." Although there is only one short distance left to pass through Mosen, it is still full of dangers, and no one can predict what will happen next, and it is still a bit dangerous for me to pass Mosen alone, so can I go with the two of you?"
Bai Xin looked at Tong Jun, Tong Jun nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together." ”
Bai Xin did not object.
"Thank you, two young heroes, I don't know the names of the two young heroes yet. Hua Lou asked.
"My name is Bai Xin, and his name is Tong Jun. ”
"Hello. Hua Lou smiled faintly and said, "Please take care of each other in the future." ”
Hua Lou is athletic, although she is a female streamer, she can easily keep up with Tong Jun and Bai Xin. As the darkness of the night gradually darkened, the three of them found a hidden cave to spend the night. A bonfire was lit, and the three of them sat around it and began to chat.
"Where are you going after you leave Mosen?" Hua Lou will see if you can continue to walk together?" Hua Lou asked.
"We're going to Goddess Peak. Bai Xin said.
"Oh, are you going to ask for the 'Goddess's Gift'?" Hua Lou asked.
Tong Jun was puzzled and said, "What is the 'gift of the goddess'?"
Hua Lou smiled, dragged his chin and said, "It seems that the two of you are new to the Central Plains, and they don't seem to know much about the prosperity of the Central Plains?"
"Well, we have been living in southern Xinjiang before, and we don't know much about the Central Plains. Bai Xin nodded.
Hua Lou said: "Then I'll tell you about it." Legend has it that this world was created by the goddess, and before the ancient times, the goddess used her body to give birth to this prosperous world, with the sky above her head and her feet on the ground, and her eyes open for light and closed for darkness. Exhale is the wind, roar is thunder, hair grows, and blood turns into the sea. Then the wind and thunder made fire, the forest sea rained, and the world gradually took shape. ”
"Well, I've also heard the legend that the goddess has boundless power and has not only created this world, but also created many unknown worlds. Bai Xin said.
Hua Lou smiled at Bai Xin and nodded, "Yes." There is a folk saying that the goddess did not die after the creation of the world, but is still alive. The goddess has been silently watching the world she has created, and the goddess peak is the best evidence. ”
Tong Jun had never left the deep mountains where he lived with his grandfather, so it was the first time he had heard of this magical legend, and he asked puzzledly: "Goddess Peak is a mountain?"
Hua Lou said: "So to speak. In the northwest of the Central Plains, among the mountains that stretch for tens of thousands of kilometers, there is a towering peak, which is not tens of thousands of zhang high, and its shape resembles a goddess standing, looking up at the sky. There is a cliff on the left and right sides of the waist of the mountain, like the goddess with both palms facing the sky, guarding the world, so it is called the goddess peak. The goddess peak will appear from time to time there will be an omen, the omen is gorgeous and colorful, like an immortal descending to earth, it can be as long as several months, after the goddess will have the power of the left palm, and then the person who breaks off the cliff in his right hand will be endowed with divine power, the divine power is given after the auspicious omen disappears, and the person who is endowed with this life has unlimited prospects, infinite divine power, and is called the lower god. This process of transfer of divine power is known as the 'Goddess Grant'. ”
Bai Xin said: "So amazing, Tong Jun, you won't go to find the 'Goddess's Gift', right?"
Tong Jun shook his head and said, "I don't know, I only heard my grandfather say that my hometown is near the Goddess Peak." ”
Hua Lou frowned and said, "There are indeed many tribes in the mountains near the Goddess Peak, but how can you find them if you don't know anything about your hometown?"
"Don't worry, there will be a way to do it. Wouldn't it be nice if you could get a 'goddess's gift'?"
Hua Lou said with a smile: "Not to mention that the 'gift of the goddess' is originally unattainable, how can the imperial court ignore such a great combat power, and the lower gods have almost been monopolized by the people of the imperial court since a long time ago." When the auspicious omen appeared on the Goddess Peak, ordinary people could not get close to the cliff. Bai Shaoxia, you don't have to expect it. ”
Bai Xin pouted and said, "What's the matter, when I get to the imperial capital and find an official position, I will also have the opportunity to become a god." ”
"Haha, it turns out that Bai Shaoxia is going to Beijing to find an official, I wish you success. Oh, you two didn't go all the way?"
"It's barely all the way! I will first send Tong Jun to the Goddess Peak, and then go east to the imperial capital to find an official position. ”
"I see. It's a pity, I'm going to the Western Regions when I leave Mosen, and I can't always go with me, I hope you'll forgive me. Hua Lou said a little apologetically.
"It's okay! ”
Bai Xin and Hua Lou chatted about some other things, and Tong Jun sat quietly next to him alone, holding the broken sword in his arms, and remembered his grandfather again.
After the night, it gradually began to rain in the sky, Tong Jun never slept, sat quietly at the entrance of the cave and watched the drizzle falling like a line, ticking on the leaves, "Grandpa, how nice it would be if you were by my side." Tong Jun's thoughts were disturbed, and he cried silently.
