Chapter 156: Plum Blossom Mark
"Master, why don't you put this scroll away." Xia Yunxi put the scroll next to the monk's feet.
Yuan Xing stood there and hesitated for a moment, before leaning over and holding the scroll in his hand, holding it with one hand and caressing it with the other, but unfortunately he couldn't see it, and it was unknown whether it was something he guessed inside.
I had to put it back in my backpack first and save it for later viewing and comprehension.
Then the two of them worked together to bury the strong man hastily, and the fate and line were together and recited the sutra for a while before it was counted.
Xia Yunxi pointed in the direction again, and they teleported away from this place again.
Speaking of which, Shenzutong is indeed extremely convenient and fast in terms of rushing and escaping, and it is not like in the past when he uses it a few times to get an unbearable headache, according to his current strength, it is still possible to use it dozens of times.
But this kind of supernatural power has a shortcoming, the direction and distance are difficult to grasp, and if you deviate slightly, you may get farther and farther away from the goal.
This is the case now, before noon, Xia Yunxi found that he was lost, and he didn't know where he was.
She explained the situation to Yuan Xing with some embarrassment, and then said depressedly: "I'm sorry master, I may have made a mistake in the direction." ”
The latter couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and only after a while did he show a faint smile and comfort: "It's okay, it's a long way now, and it is estimated that no one can catch up, so let's find the way first." "Could it be that the disease of road idiots is still contagious?
The two walked around the field for a while, and finally found the official way. Xia Yunxi judged the direction, took the stick of Yuanxing, and led him all the way along the road.
Although one of them suffered internal injuries and the other was blind and incapacitated, their feet did not slow down much, and they hurried slowly, and finally arrived at a town before noon.
In order to save the trouble of writing, Xia Yunxi instructed Yuan Xing to wait in the woods, and entered the town alone, and when she walked out of the door of the restaurant with dry food, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something parked by the door, and her eyes couldn't help but light up......
The words were divided into two ends, Xia Yunxi had just left, and Yuan Xing put down his backpack and took out the black scroll from it.
He called out to the golden cicada inwardly as he carefully unfolded the scroll.
"Can you read it?" He asked.
"It seems to have been rubbed down from the stele, and the time is too long, and the preservation is not good, and many of the handwriting are blurred, and I can't understand it intermittently." Sure enough, the golden text appeared.
"Not a portrait or something?" Yuan Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"I'm not blind." Jin Cicada stabbed.
Yuan Xing couldn't help but pause when he saw it, and pouted: "Did Huaizhen leave a lot of inheritance back then?" You must not tell the poor monk Sang Mengyu that it is this useless thing that he has stolen with all his might. ”
"I've never seen him do any of this since he was sane. There are many strange things in these heavens and worlds, is it that all of them are related to Huaizhen? Don't forget, your Tianyan Tong is the inheritance of the master, not black. Having traveled through so many worlds, you can't become so suspicious just because you get one occasionally. ”
Seeing that he didn't admit it, Yuan Xing could only reluctantly continue: "Mida Temple is regarded as a treasure, and even caused a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in Yunzhou because of this thing, how can this be an ordinary thing?" I'm afraid there is a shocking secret hidden inside. Now that it has inexplicably fallen into the hands of poor monks, do you dare to say that all this is just a coincidence? ”
"If I had known better, I would have left you behind on Earth. Why do you have to go through so many twists and turns? Jin Cicada's text still seemed unhurried: "Your Zen kapok robe, I haven't heard of anyone who wears it to get supernatural powers, isn't it leading people to sacrifice their lives to rob it?" In the final analysis, the commemoration of such objects is more symbolic. But ......" here, the text suddenly breaks, and after a long time it continues: "Your doubts are also reasonable, this matter is too coincidental, as if someone arranged it." ”
Yuan Xing was silent, and carefully put away the scroll, whether there was any other function, when his eyes regained his sight, he would know that no matter how much he said now, it was useless.
He put on his backpack again, leaned against the big tree and waited quietly for a while, and Xia Yunxi's familiar voice came from outside, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.
"The donor even bought a carriage." Yuan Xing helped the wheel to sit in the carriage, sighing that the other party was thoughtful, so that he could rush and reduce the risk of exposure.
Xia Yunxi said with a smile: "The people here are very reasonable, not only are they willing to sell, but the price is not expensive. He looked back and reminded, "The dry food is still hot, so master should use some." Seeing that he was seated, he lowered the curtain.
Well, after she threw out her sword qi and left a ditch on the ground, the people here were really reasonable.
She laughed for a while, and the whip in her hand flicked in mid-air, and after a crisp sound, the carriage slowly started.
"That's good." There was no doubt that there was him in the car, and he touched the steamed buns from the burden next to him, and he was tired all morning, and he couldn't take care of it at the moment, so he buried himself in eating.
With the sound of hooves, the carriage slowly skirted the town along the official road and headed northeast.
And they are far away, naturally they don't know, at this moment, at the gate of the restaurant in the town, there is a short and fat middle-aged man holding two ingots of silver and stomping his feet and scolding......
----------------
Perhaps because of the early discovery, their direction did not deviate too much, only two or three days longer than originally planned.
The two naturally don't take the extra distance in their eyes, but there is also a problem, Xia Yunxi is not familiar with this road, and Yuanxing is even more black-eyed, because in the case of not being able to find anyone to ask for directions, their carriage is always a few beats slower than others, and it is inevitable that Yuanxing will sleep in the open.
What? Carriage? It's always hard to huddle with the opposite sex at night, right? What's more, people are still injured. Therefore, every night, Xia Yunxi hid in the carriage to rest, and Yuan Xing could only sit by the bonfire and meditate.
After a few days, it was safe.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at their destination Yongning City, the two of them were in a good mood, Xia Yunxi was almost healed because he took the medicine provided by the monk, and his internal injuries were almost healed, and there was a rudder of the Reverse Phase Pavilion in Yongning City, as long as he got there, he would be safe.
And Yuanxing is because of the calculation of life, more than a month has passed since he was blind, and he will see that he will see the light again if he persists for a while, and his heart is naturally relaxed.
In the evening of this day, the two missed the nightstay again, Xia Yunxi parked the carriage by the river, she threw the whip, stretched a big lazy waist to the distant mountains, and was out of her mind, the distant mountain top was covered with clouds and mist, the surrounding trees were dense and green, the sunset on the horizon dyed the gurgling river under her feet, and the flowers of various colors were used as decorations on the bank, beautiful and gorgeous, how could all this not be intoxicating?
"It's beautiful." She scratched her ears and cheeks, and couldn't find the right words to describe the beauty in front of her. was about to ask for help from the fate next to him, but when he turned his head, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Yuan Xing also got out of the car at this moment, although he couldn't see it, but he unconsciously brought a smile on his face.
Because of the light rain just now, the air around is full of the smell of grass, and even if you take a breath, even if you are relaxed, most of the fatigue of the journey will dissipate at once.
The sunset gave him a wonderful layer of color, accompanied by the beautiful peaks behind him and the glowing river in front of him, which was completely integrated with the sunset in the sky.
She stayed for a moment before she restrained her emotions and silently picked up the firewood.
The collected branches were a little damp, and it was already dark when they were lit.
The light of the bonfire shook and danced, and the surrounding scenery became bright and dark, and the two sat across the fire, one meditating silently, and the other boringly breaking the dry food entrance.
In fact, the two are incompatible in terms of values and living habits, but it is strange that they can still get along happily and even become friends along the way.
Xia Yunxi finished eating the last mouthful of dry food, clapped his hands, thinking that it was still early to rest, so he looked in the mirror by the light of the flames. The delicate face became hazy in the reflection of the mirror, as if mixed with the flames.
She uncovered the forehead tied around her head, looked in the mirror for a long time, and suddenly let out a long sigh and complained, "How can this be? ”
"Huh?" Yuan Xing in meditation naturally did not isolate himself from the outside world, and at this time, he heard a trace of helplessness and panic in her tone, and the movement of rolling the rosary in her hand stopped, and she couldn't help but speak: "The donor's injury has been repeated, is it uncomfortable?" He thought that the other party's injuries had been repeated.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Xia Yunxi shook his head when he heard this, and then let out a long sigh, muttering: "There are some petal patterns on my head inexplicably, and I don't know how to get it, it's ugly and dead." As she spoke, she cautiously glanced at the monk opposite, saying that this situation really had something to do with Yuanxing.
When I woke up for the first time, there was a red and swollen piece on my forehead, and I didn't care about it at first, but after a few days, the lump disappeared, but the red traces remained, and it happened to be close to the center of my eyebrows. This time she was injured and unconscious, and she still added redness and swelling, she paid special attention to it, and sure enough, there were really red marks on the center of her eyebrows in the past two days.
How can a woman not care about her face? Even if it doesn't affect her appearance, and even the pattern of these two petals adds beauty to her, the sudden appearance of such an inexplicable thing in the center of her eyebrows is always worrying.
Two times in a row, if it weren't for the monk being blind, she really thought that the other party had tattooed it while she was unconscious. But people are her own life-saving benefactors, and she is always difficult to complain.
"Petals?" Fate is confused.
"yes." Xia Yunxi explained helplessly: "Two red petals. Speaking of this, she stared at the bronze mirror tightly, stroked her eyebrows with her right hand, and her tone turned to complain: "This is really awkward, it is better to have three more pieces, and make up enough for a plum blossom pattern, maybe it will be more beautiful." As she spoke, she tied her forehead again.
"Red, plum blossom ......" Yuan Xing's hand trembled, and the rosary he was holding almost fell off.
It's just that he endured his emotions and waited for Xia Yunxi to sleep in the car before calling for the golden cicada in his heart.
"I'm watching." Jin Cicada's reply was very timely, and the speed at which the words flashed was even faster: "It's a pity that the previous energy was used to treat your eyes, since this situation has occurred, you should be blind for a while longer, I need to accumulate energy to open the door, let's go back as soon as possible." ”
Yuan Xing frowned: "Is it really that soft brocade?" "I think of the figure in my dream who hugged my knees and cried. He couldn't help but be more puzzled, and sighed lightly: "Huaizhen has become a thing of the past, why does she still do this?" ”
Jin Cicada was silent for a long time this time before giving an answer: "Although I have not taken you to reincarnate for many years, the time of several worlds is not synchronized, who knows how far that woman has cultivated?" Since I can't even notice it, let's be careful. By the way, you can just tell me this name, and don't mention it in the future. If she had a sense, we wouldn't have anywhere to run. The scroll was thrown away as soon as possible, and I wondered how things could be so coincidental, and it seemed that people had come to look for you. ”
Due to the abnormal reaction of the golden cicada, Yuan Xing's expression also became extremely cautious, but he still subconsciously asked: "It's really to this extent, is it worth it?" As a single dog for two lifetimes, he really can't understand the other party's intentions, since they have become a powerful power that Jin Cicada is extremely afraid of, why bother with past grievances and grievances?
"That woman's mind is unpredictable, this time she separated her divine thoughts from the lower realm, maybe just to take a look, or specifically to harm your cultivation. Who knows? Women are ruthless, but there is really nothing to do with men. The karma sect established by Huaizhen is so prosperous, the inheritance is rigorous and the system is perfect, and he has great merit in saving the world, even if the internal fighting is fierce, there is no reason to be unknown after a thousand years, saying that there is no woman behind this, and I don't believe it if I am killed. In short, before you have the ability to protect yourself, you should stay away from the woman. ”
After this tirade, Jin Cicada's words gradually became slow, as if to appease Yuanxing: "Buddhism walks with the blessing of heaven, it stands to reason that no one can calculate your destiny except Huaizhen, and it is impossible to know which world you will cross to, and I don't know how she did it." It shouldn't be easy to think about, otherwise it wouldn't be so easily exposed today, so it seems that things are not bad. From beginning to end, Jin Cicada was already called by the woman, and Roujin's name was never mentioned.
Yuan Xing was speechless for a long time, and finally could only sigh helplessly.
-------------
"Retreat? At this time? ”
Early the next morning, Xia Yunxi heard Yuanxing's decision and couldn't help but exhale.
"Well, the poor monk has realized something in the past few days, and he plans to take this opportunity to impact the innate generation." Yuan Xing nodded and replied. He is telling the truth, after more than a year of precipitation in the Great Li Dynasty and more than a month of dark cultivation after crossing this world, he has already broken through.
Because there is a certain risk of being promoted to innate, he originally planned to be safer after regaining his sight, but after a long conversation with Jin Cicada last night, he felt that it was necessary to improve his strength as soon as possible. At the very least, after reaching the innate level, there are a lot of novel exercises and moves that can be used, and you can calmly deal with unexpected situations in the future.
"Wouldn't it be dangerous in this barren mountain and wilderness if a wild beast or idler disturbed the master?" Xia Yunxi still frowned, and persuaded in his mouth: "It's almost time to Yongning City, I have a practice secret room in the rudder of the Reverse Phase Pavilion, which is safer." Master, let's be patient for two days. "She's from the past, so she naturally knows that it's thrilling.
"It's okay, dig a cave, and then seal the exit, and the poor monk will be closed." Yuan Xing's expression was faint.
Xia Yunxi glanced at him suspiciously, always feeling that the monk in front of him was weird, but he couldn't say why. Seeing that he was resolute, he was no longer reluctant.
At that moment, the two of them arrived in the nearby mountains, but they were lucky to find a cave that could barely accommodate one person, and they didn't have to dig hard.
Carrying some stones to seal the fate and some food inside, and covering it with grass and branches, Xia Yunxi carefully advised her before she reluctantly went down the mountain alone, not even the carriage, she carried light work, and ran all the way towards Yongning City.
The so-called innate is that after a martial artist reaches the peak of the Houtian, he begins to continuously use his own internal force to wash the meridians to stabilize and grow, and then gradually transform his own internal force into innate true qi. Finally, it broke through the limitations of the human body and officially opened the road to transcendence.
This is a painful process, but as long as it is successful, it means that the martial artist is in harmony, and from now on he can accept the vitality of heaven and earth for his own use, which is a different scenery.
Yuan Xing waited for Xia Yunxi to go away, then calmed down and operated his internal strength, and it didn't take long for him to reach a state of forgetting things and me......
A day later, Yongning City.
The sky and the earth were dark, dark clouds were thick, and from time to time a few lightning bolts would pass, and it seemed that it was about to rain.
Xia Yunxi walked into the city gate, and from time to time he had to dodge pedestrians running by. Seeing that the rudder gate was in front of her, suddenly, her eyes widened, and the relaxed smile on her face began to freeze.
Murderous! Years of licking blood from the knife edge gave her an unusual intuition, and with a striking sparkle in her eyes, she changed the direction of her walk without saying a word, and turned into a tea shop on the side of the street.
It's just that her eyes have been glued to the corner of the street, there is an ambush, I don't know who to deal with?
I was wondering in my heart, and I saw more than a dozen people turn around the corner, all of them in the same black clothes, holding long knives with cold light in their hands. It was approaching in her direction.
With a flash of lightning tearing through the sky, muffled thunder rang out, and heavy rain poured down.
And those black-clothed men had already rushed to the front quickly, with a flash of white light, and the sword wind rushed towards them with raindrops.
Xia Yunxi's body moved, and he sneered and retreated slightly, and at this moment, several black shadows shot out from the window of the restaurant on the side of the street, and several long swords stabbed like poisonous snakes.
With a shake of her hand, her sword was unsheathed, flashing like a serpent, striking at her enemies.
From time to time, thunder rolled across the sky in the distance, and the light of the sword in her hand turned into lightning, almost in the blink of an eye, and a burst of blood mist splattered from the wrists of the ten swordsmen.
Xia Yunxi's figure did not stop, and she jumped up, but the other party was obviously prepared, just when she was about to jump to the opposite eaves, several teams of archers stood up at both ends of the street and on the eaves roof, they had already drawn their bows and arrows, and the arrows were on the string, obviously waiting for her strength to weaken after falling.
She had expected it, and she had even more experience in fighting, so she didn't panic when she saw this, but raised her breath and pulled up her body again. The long sword in his hand pressed against the eaves, and he changed direction with this force. At the same time, several sword qi erupted and struck straight at those archers.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the sky again, tearing a gaping hole in the sky.
After a few screams, several people fell in the arrow array in front of them, and before anyone else could react, several white lights appeared, more powerful than the lightning in the sky, and there were endless wails and blood splashes everywhere they passed.
Xia Yunxi was in mid-air, and when he caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, although he only sneered in his heart, he sped up and attacked the arrow array in front of him. Before she landed, the blade of the man in black next to her attacked, the swords intersected, splashing countless sparks, and the other party also saw all the deaths on the spot in an instant.
Xia Yunxi fell back into place, and just as she was about to continue attacking, a terrifying and desperate roar suddenly sounded in the distance, and her attention couldn't help but be attracted to it.
The rain was falling more heavily.
Accompanied by the wails of several enemies, a man and a woman appeared on the eaves, the man's face was wrinkled and his hair was white, his waist was straight, and a judge's pen in his hand was still dripping blood.
The other woman has a graceful figure, but she looks good in the wind and rain, and her snow-white dress is spotless.
Xia Yunxi glanced at the old man suspiciously, and then showed an extremely exaggerated expression of joy to the woman in white: "It turned out to be the left protector." ”
