Chapter 3 Bright Red Petals
Shen Su got up early today, because today he was going to do something that had been repeated for ten years. Practice.
He didn't finish eating, and he didn't alarm anyone in the village, after going out, he began to run towards a place in Beiping Mountain at a high speed, this kind of running at a high speed every day has almost become his daily habit, and this habit is developed thanks to his master, who is actually not very happy when he thinks of his master.
The sky is not yet bright, and the vision in the Beiping Mountain at this time is blurred. And Shen Su, who was running on the path in the forest, was not affected, he had been walking this road for ten years. So a quarter of an hour later, a clearing appeared, and there was a boulder in the clearing. Shen Su jumped to the boulder, and after a short rest, he looked up.
"Master"
Shen Su was not only surprised, it was simply inexplicable. This old man has always been me waiting for him, and now what's the matter? Shen Su thought to himself.
On top of the boulder, a middle-aged man stood with his hands in his hands, his hair scattered, and his robe agitated.
Shen Su saw that the master didn't pay attention to him, pouted, and then sat cross-legged.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sun changed from warm at the beginning to blazing. Shen Su remained motionless, and the middle-aged man was still looking into the distance.
"Okay" I don't know how long it was, and a thick and magnetic voice sounded. It scared away a sparrow that was arranging its feathers in Shen Su's hair, and also woke up the people who were meditating in the place.
"Master, I have gathered the third spirit. Why do you want me to fight with the beasts" Obviously, Shen Su was very dissatisfied with his master's request, and this dissatisfaction had accumulated into resentment.
The middle-aged man turned around and couldn't see his face clearly, he had a bronze mask on his face, and only a pair of eyes were leaking out, staring at Shen Su.
"The demon clan is going south, and the master-apprentice relationship between you and me ends here"
"Ahh
Shen Su looked confused again. He knew that the demon clan was all murderous stuff without blinking. There are many bloody legends about the demon clan in their village.
The word "demon clan" is enough to make children stop crying, and adults are bold.
"Then Master, are you going to fight against the Demon Clan, take me with you," Shen Su said.
In the plain continent, the demon race and the human race are like water and fire, and tens of thousands of years of war have made the hatred of the human race for the demon race have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, passed down from generation to generation.
"As far as your cultivation is concerned, what are you talking about fighting against the demon clan" The middle-aged man seemed to smile.
"Master, then where will I find you in the future," Shen Su asked.
"Don't look for me, you are already the third level of Gathering Spirits, and I won't be able to help you in the future" The middle-aged man said and paused, as if he hadn't said so much nonsense for a long time.
"Then Master. ”
The middle-aged man raised his hand to interrupt Shen Su's words, pointed to something wrapped in sackcloth beside him, and continued: "This is a weapon for the master to give you, and you will always carry it in the future."
Seeing that Shen Su didn't react, the middle-aged man continued: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go to Sanssouci City!
After speaking, without waiting for Shen Su to answer, he turned over the boulder and disappeared.
Shen Su stood in place, his mouth opened into a 0 shape, and he looked at the thing on the ground that was wrapped in sackcloth and seemed to be a sword
"It's so big, how can it be used as a weapon, and you still have to carry it on my back"
Shen Su walked slowly on the forest path and felt very depressed, he pulled the strap on his chest, the long sword wrapped in linen hung diagonally on his back, the whole long sword was above his head, and the bottom reached the crook of his legs, twenty feet wide and occupied most of his body, the weight of the long sword pressed him so that he couldn't stand up straight, and he could only look at a few meters under his feet when he walked.
The forest is still full of birds and flowers, but Shen Su's mood is heavy at the moment. When he was five years old, he practiced with this strange and mysterious master, or forced him to cultivate. So in the past ten years, he has been more resentful and afraid of his master, and he doesn't even know what the master looks like. Just come to the place agreed ten years ago at the end of each month to meet each other. But now he may never see that bronze face again, and he doesn't know whether he is happy or lost.
"Hey, the old man isn't here anyway, I'm too lazy to carry this broken sword."
Shen Su gasped and complained, not knowing how his master felt when he heard the word "broken sword". Although he complained, his legs were still trembling.
When Shen Su returned to the village, it was already late afternoon, and he pushed open the door and thought about how to explain it to his sister, but found that the house was empty.
Shen Su was stunned for a moment, obviously a little unresponsive Usually my sister will wait for him to come home for dinner, and no matter how bad it is, she will prepare a meal and put it on the table, but today's table is empty.
After shouting twice in the house to make sure that no one was there, Shen Su exited the room and wanted to look for it in the village, only to find that the whole village was quiet, and even the most noisy big black dog of Uncle Yang's house was gone, and the lively village suddenly became dead and silent. Shen Su was a little panicked all of a sudden, although the village is not big, there are dozens of families, and the villagers will usually be at home or go to the lake to enjoy the cool at this time.
"Have they all gone to the lake?"
Shen Su thought to himself. Then Shen Su scratched his head and said, "Go to the lake and have a look."
Although it was just spring, the afternoon sun was still a little hot on my body. Shen Su shouted loudly as he walked towards the lake in the village,
"Sister"
"Fatty"
"Uncle Yang"
And just as Shen Su raised his head and called out loudly, he suddenly smelled a smell in the air that seemed to be the fragrance of flowers. Shen Su stopped shouting and stood in place to feel the smell carefully, a trace of freshness and smell was intoxicating, he was sure that this was the fragrance of flowers.
"Could it be that the lotus flowers bloomed in advance and everyone went to enjoy the flowers, which is not right! There are at least three months before the lotus flowers bloom, how can they bloom so early. ”
Shen Su thought to himself. After looking around, he scratched his head and continued to walk towards the lake in the village.
Lianhu Village gets its name from the fact that there is a lake full of lotus flowers in the village, called Lianhu. Every June, the lotus flowers in the lake bloom one after another, and the flowers bloom until October, when the lotus lake is printed with blue sky and white clouds.
If Shen Su had arrived at Lianhu Lake in a few minutes from his home in the past, now he was carrying a long sword on his back, which seriously affected his speed, so Shen Su came to Lianhu Lake after more than ten minutes.
Shen Su stood on the edge of the lake and looked towards the center of the lake, and the first thing he saw was the lotus leaves above the water surface, and there were also some lotus leaves that had not grown long and rolled on the water surface. A little farther away is the lake, which reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and the surface of the lake is calm and the water is clear. At a glance, there was no sign of flowers blooming in the entire lotus lake, but at this time, the fragrance of flowers became stronger and stronger, and the surroundings became extremely quiet, even the birds that usually catch fish in the lake were gone, and his heart became more and more restless.
I don't know when a breeze blew, the lake rippled and the lotus leaves undulated, and Shen Su's silver hair fluttered with the wind. The floral scent is also fresh and fragrant at this moment. Shen Su closed his eyes and breathed greedily in the air full of the fragrance of flowers, he was born in the mountains and grew up in the mountains, and he had never seen too many trees and flowers and plants. But he was sure that this floral scent, which soothed the restlessness of the soul, had never been seen before and was intoxicating.
Just as Shen Su closed his eyes and enjoyed the scent of flowers that filled his mouth and nose, he vaguely seemed to feel something fluttering on his head, although it was light, but the contact of the hair with the skin still made him feel it.
He opened his eyes
After that moment of sluggishness, all that was left was astonishment. As far as the eye can see, the entire lake is full of eye-catching petals, and red petals fall from the sky.
"Wow Petal Rain"
Shen Su swallowed his saliva and shouted excitedly!
Red petals fluttered like feathers in the sky, and strangely enough the petals didn't fall to the ground. Instead, he stopped in mid-air at Shen Su's calf. After a few moments, a red carpet of flower petals covered the entire lake. The bright petals dyed the entire sky red, and the red that filled the eyeballs made Shen Su feel a little dizzy and unreal beauty.
Suddenly, a space above the red carpet began to ripple, and a trace of red light overflowed, and then a palm as white as jade poked out, and then an arm, and in the midst of the red light, a barefoot woman in red stood on the carpet.
Red petals, red clothes, red light. She was full of red, making it look a little unreal, and only her black hair, white arms, and slender fingers could be seen in the blur. She stood quietly on top of the red petals, her clear eyes looking at Shen Su.
Shen Su stared at her as soon as she appeared, of course, he didn't look at her fluttering figure and delicate facial features. Shen Su looked at the other woman who appeared with her next to the woman in red, the woman's whole body was wrapped in flower petals, only the part above the neck was exposed, her eyes were slightly closed, her red lips were pursed, and she was obviously unconscious. But the same delicate facial features were telling Shen Su that she was Shen Xue.
At that moment, Shen Su changed from his previous amazement to anger, and his eyes became a little hideous.
"Who are you, why did you capture my sister, and where are the others," Shen Su yelled loudly. At the same time, he made a forward movement, but then he found that the lower leg was covered with petals, and the seemingly gentle petals made him unable to move the slightest.
The woman in red turned her head to look at the woman wrapped in petals, and then looked at Shen Su's eyes with a faint suspicion. She seemed to frown but didn't speak. Just staying at Shen Su's silver-haired eyes, he became more suspicious.
The woman in red moved her bare feet and walked slowly towards Shen Su, and every time Ruyu's bare feet fell, petals would splash on the red carpet. It makes her look so beautiful.
Shen Su still stared resentfully at the woman in red who was getting closer and closer in front of him. Not to mention that it couldn't move at this time, even if it could, he didn't think that he could do anything to the woman in red with his cultivation. So he said slowly:
"You're a demon"
Shen Su wanted to say that you were a member of the demon clan, but he didn't know if the demon clan was a human being.
The bright eyes of the woman in red were still looking at Shen Su, and when she heard Shen Su's voice, her bright eyes seemed to flash. Then the red lips opened slightly:
"Demon Leaf Burial Flower"
