Chapter 5: Heartache that I have never met
The sound of the piano is drifting, desolate and mournful, bitter and long. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Ling stood and did not move.
He didn't look at her front, because he hadn't seen it after ten years of trying.
He knew it was a dream, a dream he had been having since he was six years old.
At that time, the woman in the dream was about the same size as him, and he could not see her face, but he saw her lively and lovely, running under the tree among the flowers, and the laughter of the silver bell filled the whole dream.
Later, she grew up with him and grew up slowly, he was chic and uninhibited, but she became more and more sad.
She is always dressed in a lilac dress, the skirt is flying, light and elegant, and lonely.
She accompanied him from flowers and butterflies ignorant of the world to the beginning of love, but he didn't know who she was and why he kept dreaming like this.
In the dream, he looked at her back, and his heart was both happy and bitter.
When I woke up, the feeling was gone, as if it was another person's emotion.
But Zhang Ling felt more and more regretful.
That kind of regret made him feel empty every time he woke up.
That's emptiness.
He has never seen that woman in reality, naturally there is no saying that he thinks about it day and night, he will not fall in love with the illusion in his dreams, but there is always that lingering emotion, perhaps, is that the lover of his previous life?
Zhang Ling was amused by himself.
He got dressed and got up, but saw Zhang Yao and the others eating breakfast.
Clear porridge and side dishes, Zhang Ling sat down and looked at He Guang carefully.
He Guang was drinking porridge, and was looked at by Zhang Ling like this, almost squirting out, he wiped the corners of his mouth, and said cautiously: "Master, is there something wrong with me?"
Zhang Ling smiled weirdly, shook his head, and then started eating, ignoring him.
He Guang was a little confused, not knowing what was going on. He looked at Zhang Yao and Yu Ziyu for help, but the two ignored him and ate by themselves.
He was a little afraid of Zhang Ling, and now as long as Zhang Ling had a little superfluous action towards him, his heart trembled. In fact, he has been tossed enough in the past month.
They have been away from Biyi City for a month, the four of them have walked more than 1,000 miles in a month, Yu Zi is too slow, but Zhang Ling is enjoying it.
The route he took picked out the places that were not easy to walk, such as many beasts or something, at this time Zhang Ling pushed He Guang out, although He Guang was a gentleman, he was not a person who did not learn and did not know how to do it, at least Zhang Ling felt that He Guang was more knowledgeable than him, although his physical strength was really not good.
However, after this month, He Guang is indeed much stronger than before, at least the vanity on his face before has faded, and now he is a little more mature and stable.
Zhang Ling felt that although this guy was hateful before, he could still be saved. He himself is not a master now, so naturally he can't accept apprentices, but he just taught He Guang the basic method of spitting, and He Guang called the master.
But after all, he is a child of a family, and he is a gentleman, and the geographical scenery and ancient and modern knowledge shown by He Guang along the way have made the three of them look sideways. They are people who have been in seclusion for many years, and they do not mess with worldly things, and they have gained a lot of insight when they enter the WTO.
Zhang Yao covered the veil, and then spoke: "Brother Ling, it's still a long way to go to the capital, so I won't go, this place is close to the Forgetful River, I want to stay here for a while." ”
Zhang Ling was stunned and did not speak.
"Sister Yao, do you want to go alone?" Yu Ziyu took Zhang Yao's hand and asked reluctantly.
Zhang Yao chuckled, "Yes, you always have to go alone." ”
She seemed to mean something, Yu Ziyu didn't understand, but Zhang Ling understood, so she said: "It's okay, I went to the capital, and after meeting the emperor, I was going to go around the four countries, but when the emperor wrote before, I specially told my father that you must go to see the queen, isn't my sister going to go?"
"There will always be a time to meet in the future. She smiled faintly, her eyes crossed Yu Ziyu, and when she looked at Zhang Ling, there was a deeper smile hidden in her eyes.
Zhang Ling coughed dryly twice and said, "In that case, then sister take care of herself, let's go first." "Anyway, take the lead and get on the horse.
Yu Ziyu muttered two sentences, not seeing the red spreading on Zhang Ling's face. took Zhang Yao's hand and said, "Sister Yao, why don't I accompany you?" ”
"No, I just want to see the land for myself. Zhang Yao said, and then said with a smile: "What's more, with your temperament, it's fun to be with Brother Ling, wouldn't you suffocate to death with me." ”
Yu Ziyu was blushing by what she said, and said shyly: "Sister Yao, what are these words, who wants to be with him!"
Zhang Yao only didn't speak, looking at her with a smile in her eyes.
Yu Ziyu couldn't wait to dig a hole and get in, but when he saw that Zhang Ling had already walked away, he hurriedly said that I would leave in a hurry, which made Zhang Yao laugh.
He Guang bowed his hand to Zhang Yao and left, his eyes clear. Zhang Yao nodded at him and watched them leave.
She is a little reluctant in her heart, she has never been separated from Zhang Ling since she was a child, although Zhang Ling walks freely, but she is not afraid that she will be unable to help but be with her if she says a few more words!
They had long been ready to separate, from the time Master told them about their calamity.
Zhang Yao cleaned up her mood, covered her face with a light veil, looked at the vast and free world in the distance, and floated away.
And when they were separated, a man came from the South China Sea.
The old man of the South China Sea stood on a sea rock, and opposite him, a man dressed in black with only a pair of eyes was looking at him coldly, his eyes were cold and indifferent, dead and silent, as if everything in this world was not in his heart.
"How long have they been gone?"
"How long have they been gone, and what do they have to do with you?" asked the old man of the South China Sea.
The man in black seemed to laugh, short and cold.
"Does it matter, don't you know?"
The old man of Nanhai frowned, and then said, "It's been more than a month." He looked at the man in black with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"How long can you exist in this world? ”
The man in black's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be smiling and asked, "What, are you an old immortal who cares about me?"
"Who cares about you!" The old man of the South China Sea rolled his eyes, as if disgusted by what he said, and snorted twice.
The man in black said twice, low and cold.
"It's always me to live like this, and I choose to live in the sun, but is it still them?"
The old man of the South China Sea was silent and silent for a long time.
In the South China Sea, there was a rare wind, and the always calm sea was covered with white waves, and the sky was dark and there was no light.
Zhang Ling and the three of them rode forward, the speed was not fast, and there were nearly two hours of travel to Yecheng, it was noon, and the day in July was hot.
It has been more than two months since they broke up with Zhang Yao, Yecheng is the largest city in Changqi County, after Changqi County, and then through Ling'an County and Shangyuan County is the capital, according to their current speed, there are still about three or four months away.
Yu Ziyu's face was pale, her expression was depressed, she rode a horse all day long, although the scenery was very good, but she really couldn't stand it as a girl.
He Guang looked at them and said, "Master, according to our way of walking, the speed is inevitably a little slow, it is better for us to buy a carriage after we arrive in Yecheng and hire two more grooms, so that the speed will not only be accelerated, but we will also have time to cultivate." ”
When he said this, his eyes stared at Zhang Ling, and he saw that Zhang Ling just yawned lazily, looking like he hadn't woken up.
He Guang touched his nose and did not speak again.
He didn't know Zhang Ling's current realm, but a few days ago, he cultivated to the initial realm of meditation and felt an urge to break through, but Zhang Ling once told him that the cultivation of the foundation is very important, don't rush to break through, feel it more in the basic realm, it will be of great benefit to the cultivation in the future, so he endured it without breaking through.
Now he felt a little uncontrollable, he didn't know if he was going to break through to the Meditation Middle Realm, after all, the cultivation time was still short. And after trying the wonderful feeling of cultivation, he felt that he had almost been reborn, compared to his past self, he was simply two people.
He felt that what he needed most now was probably a quiet environment where he could swim in the mysterious power of heaven and earth.
He Guang was a little glad that he used to be such a bastard, but after following Zhang Ling's side, although this guy often corrected him, he also taught him such a magical method, which could allow him to get rid of the identity of an ordinary person, and from then on he could also become those legendary existences. So although he complained about Zhang Ling, he was very respectful in his heart.
"What are those people doing? robbery in broad daylight?"
He Guang was wandering when he suddenly heard Yu Ziyu's surprised voice.
He came back to his senses and looked ahead, and saw that Zhang Ling had stopped his horse. In the distance, there were two groups of people fighting, and a group of black-clothed people were besieging two young men in gorgeous clothes, no wonder Yu Ziyu would say that they were robbing.
Zhang Ling frowned and looked ahead, not wanting to help.
It was two young men and women about twenty years old, dressed in fine clothes, with noble temperament, even if they were at a disadvantage, and their clothes were tattered and bloody, they were still sacrosanct. Around them were more than two dozen men in black, and there were more than a dozen corpses of men in black on the ground, and it seemed that the two sides had been fighting for a long time.
The two besieged people were already a little exhausted, especially the woman in the royal blue dress, almost soaked in blood, she couldn't tell whether it was hers or the enemy, she was shaky, but still biting her lip, her face was angry and helpless and full of determination.
Yu Ziyu saw that the woman was accidentally slashed by the sword of a man in black after taking a look at them, and the sword cut a long cut diagonally on her back, but not much blood flowed out.
Zhang Ling's brows furrowed even tighter, the woman had obviously lost too much blood, and her current lucidity was almost entirely based on an unyielding will.
"Sister, how are you?" I saw the besieged man roar angrily, and a sword pierced the throat of a man in black, he quickly pulled out his sword and grabbed the woman, and asked with an anxious face.
The black-clothed man who was pierced through his throat with a sword spurted a blood injection from his throat, cruel and cold, and there was still unwillingness in his eyes, but he couldn't speak anymore.
"I'm fine, brother be careful!" the woman shook her head weakly, seeing that although the group of men in black paused for a moment, they quickly attacked after the organization, and hurriedly reminded.
Yu Ziyu couldn't bear it, she glanced at Zhang Ling, and whipped a horsewhip violently, the horse was in pain, and galloped forward, Yu Ziyu flew up and fell into the battle circle with a low shout, she stood in front of the woman, and didn't speak, but quickly pulled out a long sword and attacked the man in black.
The two of them were a little surprised to see such a beautiful and lovely woman.
And here Zhang Ling scolded a little angrily: "Idiot woman!" He gritted his teeth and looked ahead and said: "You go and help them, but those people in black are only allowed to be injured, not killed." ”
He Guang was surprised, but still nodded, and swept forward.
Zhang Ling looked ahead with a slight squint in his eyes, he didn't make a move, naturally there was a reason why he didn't make a move, but Yu Ziyu didn't know.
Those two people are not from Yueguo, although they are wearing Yueguo clothes, but their descriptions are not like people from Yueguo, presumably He Guang also noticed this, so he did not make a reckless move.
Now is an extraordinary period, and the War of the Four Kingdoms may break out at any time, and since he has a heart, he will naturally pay attention to this.
The two were very young, and they didn't look like they were traders. And if it's just for fun, how can it be hunted down by a group of well-trained people with murderous aura?
And that kind of murderous aura is not like the kind of treacherous feeling released by the killer, nor is it like the murderous aura of these monks, that kind of murderous aura, Zhang Ling has only felt it in one person, that person is called Mo Qifeng, who used to be a city guard soldier in Biyi City, and was later transferred to the city lord's mansion by his father.
It is a kind of dignified murderous spirit that fights on the battlefield in the midst of thousands of troops, or a kind of killing intent, a kind of will.
The murderous aura on these black-clothed people is not strong, not as strong as Mo Qifeng, even if they have been on the battlefield, they must not have been a few times. They move in and out of each other, not acting separately like ordinary killers, which are obviously a group of soldiers disguised as killers.
Zhang Ling couldn't tell where they were, maybe they were from the Yue country, maybe they were from the same country as the two young people. In such an extraordinary period now, someone can use such a soldier who has been on the battlefield, obviously the identity of the chaser is extraordinary, in the case of not knowing the enemy or me, the best choice is to stand by and watch, the most important thing is that those two young people are obviously not from the Yue Kingdom, saving them may be trouble!
Zhang Ling had infinite entanglements in his heart, of course he knew what Yu Ziyu meant by that glance.
That's blaming him! blaming him for not saving him, blaming him for being indifferent. But in such a period, the people of the other three countries should be avoided, and those two people seem to be not small, if they save their future opponents, then they really want to die.
Zhang Ling sighed lightly, and looked helplessly at the goose-yellow figure, forget it, save it! The right head is the right head! Is he still afraid of an ordinary person as a monk in the Soul Realm? What's more, who made him move his heart to other people's words?
Over there, with the addition of Yu Ziyu and He Guang, the group of black-clothed people were defeated, Yu Ziyu hated them for being so ruthless to a girl, so they were full of killing moves, but she didn't show her magic power, just like an ordinary martial artist.
He Guang saw that Yu Ziyu was like this, and he was only using the techniques of a martial artist, but although he hit them heavily, he only injured them and avoided the place where he could die.
Although the two did not use their mana, they made exquisite moves, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they repelled the twenty or so people, Yu Ziyu killed four or five people in black, and the man killed two or three, and there were only fourteen people left in the black, and six were seriously injured.
The leader glanced at He Guang deeply, and He Guang's sword could have stabbed him in the throat, but in the end, he only stabbed him in the right shoulder, so that he could not continue to participate in the attack, he didn't understand why he didn't kill this man even though it was a group of people, but he remembered this person.
Yu Ziyu didn't see the sword that He Guang staggered, but Zhang Ling and the man who was besieged did.
The leader of the man in black saw that there were only fourteen of the forty people he brought, and his heart was bitter, but he still shouted in a low voice: "Withdraw!"
He glanced at the two young men deeply, and knew in his heart that if he didn't succeed this time, he didn't know when the next opportunity would be. If the general can spare his death this time, he should also think of some excuse to go home.
Zhang Ling stepped forward immediately, he got off the horse and saw that there was no injury on Yu Ziyu's body, so he walked to He Guang's side and took out a piece of gauze to bandage the wound on He Guang's left arm.
Only then did the man over there speak: "In Xia Mingxu, bring my sister Mingyue to thank the benefactor!"
