Chapter 21: Leaves
Ling Yun took Xue Xue's hand and accompanied her through the bustling streets, walked through the muddy paths, and came to the foot of Qinghong Mountain.
On Qinghong Mountain, in the winter to spring, it has been covered with a layer of greenery, although this layer of greenery is very light, very light.
Xue Xue looked at Ling Yun, her clenched left hand loosened, and then said, "Brother Yun, let's still compete as before, to see who can reach the top of the mountain first." ”
The red lips smiled, and then she took a light step, stomped lightly on the ground, then jumped up the branches, and finally disappeared into the dense forest with a few more light leaps.
"In the past, I won Xiaoxue, and if I suddenly lost today, it would be too shameless, so, no matter what, I won't lose. ”
Although he said this, Ling Yun did not rush towards the mountain, but jumped on a big tree, then picked a leaf, took the leaf in his mouth, and then looked at the blue sky and white clouds, the whole person was indescribably leisurely.
He didn't seem to be worried at all about Xue Xue reaching the top of the mountain first.
"It would be nice if life was like this every day, and you could enjoy the blue sky and white clouds. Ling Yun put his hands on the back of his head, which was very relaxed.
Listening to the sound of cicadas around him, listening to the wind around him, and smelling the freshness of the air, Ling Yun's face was almost intoxicated.
At this moment, he didn't need to think or do anything, he just lay down leisurely with a cyan leaf in his mouth.
The oncoming breeze blew the leaves around him, ruffled his hair, blew the black robe on his body, and blew his thoughts more pure.
In the dense forest, Xue Xue's steps paused on the branches, her eyes were contemplative, and she said, "You can't win Brother Yun, if you win, Brother Yun will definitely not be happy." ”
After muttering, she jumped down the branch and sat down on the edge of the tree.
On the branches, Ling Yun quietly listened to the sound of the wind, the sound of the clouds, and the sound of the air, and I don't know how long it took, the leaves in his mouth spit out, and the leaves swirled and fell to the ground leisurely.
"Now, it's time to go. The corners of Ling Yun's mouth drew a beautiful arc, and then slowly closed his eyes.
His mind thought of the top of Qinghong Mountain, and then his figure rippled, and a wave of lines flashed on his body, and he disappeared.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a leaf on the ground that had been swallowed, no one would have thought that someone had ever been here.
The surroundings were very quiet, Ling Yun first came to the dark world, surrounded by the strange trees, and the ground was still the teleportation array, and then his body did not stay in this darkness, it flashed directly, and then disappeared from the teleportation array, and came to the top of Qinghong Mountain.
The top of the mountain is very wide, there are many big stones on the mountain, Ling Yun's figure suddenly lies on a big stone, his posture is still the same as lying on the big tree before, always so leisurely.
He hadn't done such a laid-back pose except two years ago.
Looking around, Ling Yun didn't see Xue Xue's figure, then sighed and said, "Wait a minute, it will definitely surprise Xiaoxue." ”
He plucked a leaf from the side and held it in his mouth, letting the bitter smell spread in his mouth.
It was only a moment before the corners of Ling Yun's mouth brought up a slight smile, and then he sat up on the stone, because he had heard the sound of sparse grass moving in his ears.
When there was no wind, the surrounding grass and trees moved, and then Xue Xue's figure appeared on the top of the mountain.
Her body was still so delicate and her face was still so pale, but when she saw Ling Yun, there was a hint of knowing smile on her pale face.
"Brother Yun, your movements are still so fast, for so many years, Xiaoxue has never won against you. Although Xue Xue was complaining in her words, her eyes were so happy.
Ling Yun stood up with his right hand, approached Xue Xue, and said, "The strength is not strong, so how can it be done, I said that I will protect Xiaoxue." ”
His eyes were fixed on hers, and his words were still as true as they had been two years ago.
A smile appeared on Xue Xue's face, this smile was very happy and sweet.
Ling Yun's face was full of doubt, and he said, "Xiaoxue, in my opinion, you have already entered the foundation building period, if you don't enter the foundation building period, you will definitely not be selected in the competition with the other two families the day after tomorrow." ”
"Of course, Xiaoxue is already a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, but Xiaoxue is most happy to be selected with Brother Yun. Xue Xue chuckled.
"Xiaoxue, you see, now I am still practicing the cultivation of Qi Great Perfection, and they all say that if you want to achieve foundation building cultivation, you still need to have comprehension, I don't know how to comprehend?" The doubt in Ling Yun's eyes did not decrease.
Hearing Ling Yun's words, Xue Xue was silent, she didn't speak again, but lowered her head slightly, and there was thought on her face.
Ling Yun also stood quietly, without disturbing, his expression was faintly expectant.
After thinking for a while, Xue Xue's lowered head raised slightly, and then said, "Brother Yun, let's practice the sword first." ”
Ling Yun had surprise on his face, looking at Xue Xue's eyes, it seemed that there was something in these eyes, and then he nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaoxue, then let's practice the sword." ”
As he spoke, Ling Yun touched the Qiankun bag on his waist with his right hand, and took out a silver long sword from it.
The sword was four feet long, and under the sunlight, the long sword could be seen emitting a strong silver light, and this light shone towards the surroundings, looking dazzling and bright.
However, on top of the tenacity, there are small gaps, and these gaps, witnessing this sword, are not new.
When she saw this sword, Xue Xue's face was surprised, and then she said, "Brother Yun, you still use this sword." ”
"Of course, I'm used to it, when I used to compete with Xiaoxue, I was used to using this sword. Ling Yun sighed.
Xue Xue smiled, and then said, "Brother Yun, come on, see if your swordsmanship has increased." ”
As he spoke, he quickly pulled out the long sword behind him and headed towards Lingyun.
Under the sunlight, the long sword is so bright and dazzling, but it has a different kind of softness, this soft feeling, and the weakness on Xue Xue's body, is so contrasting, making her weak body even more beautiful.
His hair, in the sunlight, still looks so soft.
Even his steps, in the lightness, are so soft.
Although it was a long sword coming towards Lingyun, there was not the slightest coldness on Xue Xue's body, and there was only a special beauty.
The long sword in Ling Yun's hand was also towards Xue Xue.
The sword shadows of the two of them, above the top of the mountain, began to flicker, and the leaves on the tree fell towards the ground one by one under the force of the sword blade, and in the rotation, they drew a graceful arc.
Ling Yun's head moved slightly to the right, dodging the long sword in front of him, then shook his head and said to Xue Xue: "Xiaoxue, I can see that you didn't do your best, could it be that the foundation building monk only has this bit of strength? Not only did you not use the strength that the foundation building monk should have, but even if it was the power that the fallen leaf sword technique should have, you didn't use it." ”
Xue Xue's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then she was relieved, and then said, "Since Brother Yun has said so, then I will do my best." ”
As she spoke, Xue Xue's sword became much faster, just now, it was a soft and slow feeling, and now, it was a kind of fast with a cold taste.
Ling Yun smiled and suppressed his smile, because Xue Xue's sword far surpassed him in terms of speed and strength, and he had to face it with his heart.
Zizizi~Boom!
Ling Yun collided with the long sword in Xue Xue's hand, and he was shocked to retreat three feet, leaving a shallow ravine on the ground.
And although Xue Xue's body looked weak, she stood motionless.
There was worry on her face, and there was even more horror in her eyes, and then she took a few steps closer to Ling Yun and said, "Brother Yun, are you okay?"
Lingyun's long sword was raised forward, indicating that he was fine, and then said, "Xiaoxue, it's okay, just warmed up, next, I'm going to use my real skills, you continue to use all your strength." ”
As he spoke, Ling Yun smiled.
Xue Xue saw the confident smile on Ling Yun's face, and then looked at his eyes, so she took a light leap and raised the long sword in her hand again.
Ling Yun ate it once, so that Ran didn't collide with the sword in Xue Xue's hand again, his figure, like a phantom, was elusive, making Xue Xue's every sword miss.
Xue Xue's eyes widened, and in every sword she stabbed, she saw Ling Yun disappear inexplicably.
It was already strange for the figure to disappear, and even more strange was that when the figure disappeared, it appeared quickly.
"...... this?" Xue Xue looked surprised.
Ling Yun's figure disappeared, and then inexplicably appeared behind Xue Xue, put the back of the long sword on Xue Xue's shoulder, and then said, "Xiaoxue, now you can talk about your perception of building the foundation." ”
After Xue Xue's little face was surprised, a flash of excitement flashed, and then said: "I didn't expect Brother Yun to be really so powerful, since this is the case, Xiaoxue will use all her strength." ”
Ling Yun didn't know why, but his pupils shrank slightly, because he felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind his neck.
He quickly closed his eyes, and the whole person quickly disappeared, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if nothing had appeared.
Xue Xue's eyes were even more frightened, her eyes widened, looking at the place where Ling Yun was standing just now, that place, there were only dozens of leaves suspended in the sky, and she didn't see Ling Yun's figure.
From those dozens of leaves, there was a sharp, murderous aura emanating from it.
The leaves were suspended in the air, and even if the breeze blew, they didn't move in the slightest.
After the surprise, Xue Xue smiled, and then the tip of the long sword in his hand shook, and the dozens of leaves fell to the ground one by one, and the leaves looked no different from usual, and the cold aura before disappeared completely.
The leaves disappeared, and Ling Yun's figure suddenly appeared.
Ling Yun first looked at the fallen leaves on the ground, then moved his gaze to Xue Xue, and then said fearfully: "Xiaoxue, yes, if it weren't for the fact that I have some special skills, I would really become a ghost under this leaf." ”
"How could it be? Xue'er wouldn't hurt Brother Yun. Xue Xue smiled
