Volume 1 Holding the Sword Chapter 23 The light that shines in the heart
Looking at the trees in front of him, which had become a ruin, the man in white nodded with satisfaction, and the silver long sword in his hand cut a sword flower, which was hidden in the man's cuffs again.
The young man sitting cross-legged had a restrained aura, the turquoise air flow in his body had been exhausted, his body was full of starlight, and his pale face gradually regained its blood color.
Chen Bugui opened his eyes and moved his left arm, only to find that the originally broken arm bone had healed, and the young man couldn't help but grin at the corner of his mouth, thinking that this little emerald green pill was simply a stroke of genius.
A halo of light appeared in the distant sky, and the morning sun rose with the horizon, tearing through the silence of the night.
The boy looked up.
The man stood with his hands in his hands, his whole figure shrouded in the halo of morning light.
Soft light stacked on the man.
The white clothes are fluttering, like a fairy.
The man in white who was standing with his hands in his hands seemed to feel something, slowly turned around from the halo, looked at the young man who was looking at him, and said with a smile, "Yes, it's called Chen Bugui, right?!" The momentum and consciousness just now are worthy of the title of Sword Ridge Sword Bearer. ”
When the young man blurted out his name and the words of the sword wielder in Jianling, the young man looked suspicious and said, "How did the seniors know ......?"
Before Chen Buhui finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man in white with a disgusted face.
"Okay, okay, don't call me a senior on the left and a senior on the right, I'm so old......" The man in white waved his hand angrily, "Since you took over the Soul Guarding Sword from Zhao Xuan and have also been recognized by the Soul Guarding Sword, then you are the sword bearer of the generation of Jianling." ”
The man stepped aside, picked up the black long sword lying on the ground, blew the dust off the sword body with two whistling sounds, and then looked at the young man who stood up, and said lightly, "Zhao Xuan is my senior brother, and you are a senior brother who accepts apprentices on behalf of the teacher, so we all have a common master......
When the man in white said this, he paused slightly, tilted his head and smiled, "Now you understand what to call me?!" ”
Looking at the approachable man in front of him with a hint of cynicism, the young man was stunned, and subconsciously said, "Master...... Elder brother. ”
Hearing the word senior brother come out of the young man's mouth, the man in white nodded with great enjoyment, "Well, this is my good junior brother......
"Senior brother's name is Feng Huang, little junior brother should remember." Feng Huang walked in front of Chen Bugui with a smile, stretched out his hand and patted the young man's shoulder, handed the black long sword to the young man's hand, and said softly, "Take it, don't lose the soul next time." ”
Chen Bugui nodded blankly, and he didn't know whether he remembered the man's name or remembered not to lose the Soul Guarding Sword.
Chen Bugui has not yet figured out the situation.
Although he didn't have much resistance to this cheap senior brother who suddenly appeared to save him, the young man still had no bottom in his heart.
In the year I spent with Zhao Xuan, I had never heard him mention any junior brothers or masters.
From the time Chen Bugui stepped out of the town to the present, he has not been in contact with many people, he can count them on one hand, and Zhao Xuan is impossible to be in Jianling now.
So, if the man in front of him is not lying, then there can only be one explanation.
The young man looked at the man in white who was arranging his clothes on the side, and asked tentatively, "Sect Master Jiang has been here?!" ”
The man in white, who was arranging his clothes, was interrupted by the young man's sudden words, and after being stunned for a moment, he raised his eyes and stared at the young man, and said seriously, "It doesn't seem to be too stupid......
"Half a month ago, Jiang Qi of the Dao Sect suddenly came to Jianling, what did Zhao Xuan find a suitable person to take over the position of the ninth generation sword holder, he has seen it, it is a teenager, only the first realm, and he is already on the way to Jianling, so he told us to pay more attention."
"At that time, I was still sighing how my senior brother could give up this position so casually, but as a junior brother, I don't have the right to ask......"
"Shuzhong has been particularly chaotic in recent years, and there are all kinds of goods, although I can't get used to it by having a junior brother in the first realm for some reason, but since this is a matter decided by the senior brother, I can't watch the little junior brother who has not met die in this ghost place, right?!"
"So your senior brother and I count the days and pinch the time to escort you on this road you must pass......"
Speaking of this, the man in white suddenly covered his chest with his hands, revealing a distressed look, "I didn't think that junior brother, if you don't thank me, forget it, you still suspect me...... It's really sad for me to be a brother! ”
Looking at the pretentious appearance of the man in white, Chen Bugui's heart twitched, and the beautiful image of the original man was gone.
It's really a full drama spirit......
In order to avoid the man in white from being "overly sad", Chen Bugui cooperated to make a guilty expression, and said to the man, "All this is the fault of the junior brother, please take care of your body, if you fall, it will be tantamount to the pain of a broken arm for the junior brother!" ”
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be a person in temperament, senior brother, senior brother is very relieved!" The man in white patted the young man's shoulder with his hand very satisfied, revealing an expression that could be taught.
"...... each other," Chen said with a smile.
After confirming the man's identity, the suspicion in Chen Bugui's heart also dissipated.
For him, although Jianling and the man in front of him are strangers, Jianling is where Zhao Xuan lives, and this man is Zhao Xuan's junior brother, so he will not have any defense.
Because now he is also a member of Sword Ridge.
"Let's go, senior brother will take you back to Jianling."
Feng Huang glanced at the sky, and if he got up and went back to Jianling now, he might be able to catch up for breakfast.
The young man subconsciously wanted to agree, but a girl's face suddenly flashed in his mind, and the foot he had just raised was lowered again.
"What's wrong?!" Looking at the young man who suddenly stopped, Feng Huang wondered.
"Senior brother, did you see a girl when you came?!" Chen Bugui's eyes flickered.
"Girl?! What girl?! ”
Feng Huang looked at Chen Bugui with a puzzled expression.
He had been in Shuzhong for a few days, in order to be able to meet Chen Bugui here in time, and last night he noticed a familiar sword intent and a disgusting coldness here, so he set off to come.
"I was in a hurry last night, and I didn't see any girls." Feng Huang shook his head and said, "Anyone else besides you?!" ”
"Well, that girl I met when I was in Akibara County, and before this group of mountain bandits came, I asked her to take the villagers here in the direction of Sword Ridge." Chen Bugui said seriously.
During the day, when he was unable to protect himself, he had to make the decision to let Xu Wanning go first, but now that he was safe, and he had a strong senior brother by his side, Chen Bugui wanted to go to find the girl through the cheap senior brother in front of him.
"By the way, she said that she went to Jianling to find her aunt, senior brother, since you stay in Jianling all the year round, then you may know her aunt......"
"Aunt?!"
Hearing Chen Bugui spit out the word aunt in his mouth, the man in white, who was originally careless, suddenly changed his expression, as if he remembered something, his voice trembled a little, and asked, "What is the name of the girl you are talking about?!" ”
"Xu Wanning ......"
Chen Bugui said softly.
The three words of young and fluttering suddenly made the dignified man in front of him who always had a smile on his face feel numb.
"Damn, why did this little aunt and grandmother suddenly come to Jianling!" Feng Huang looked depressed, and said with some regret, "She came alone?!" ”
Chen Bugui looked at the panicked man in front of him, and nodded muleng.
Isn't it just looking for an aunt, is it necessary to show this expression?!
"It's over, it's over, if something happens to this little aunt......" Feng Huang completely lost his previous calmness, and hurriedly sacrificed the silver long sword that he had put away before.
In the flickering starlight, the sword body of the silver long sword suspended in the air expanded, and Feng Huang jumped up without hesitation.
"Why are you still stunned?!" Feng Huang looked at the young man with a blank face, and urged, "Come up quickly!" ”
"Ah...... Yes?! ”
"Ahh
The young man finally jumped on the silver long sword with a puzzled mood, and he still didn't understand why his cheap senior brother was so out of shape when he learned that Xu Wanning was going to Jianling to find his aunt.
Could it be that Xu Wanning's aunt is very powerful?!
In the midst of his thoughts, the wind whistled in his ears, and the silver long sword turned into a streamer and flew in the direction of Sword Ridge under the urging of the sealed waste.
……
……
In a ruined temple in the western suburbs of central Shu.
The dilapidated temple was covered with dust and cobwebs, and the Buddha statue standing in the middle of the temple had long since lost its luster, and the gilding on the surface of the Buddha statue had also fallen off under the erosion of the wind and sand, revealing the rusty iron and copper inside.
The glow of the morning sun shone through the broken holes in the wall, tearing the darkness apart.
The temple was overcrowded with people with different expressions.
This group of people is the villagers who fled from Luohe Village.
Under the leadership of Xu Wanning, they rushed overnight without the slightest pause along the way.
They didn't know how far they had run, but they each ran away with the last bit of strength, so they found a dilapidated temple to rest temporarily.
The girl leaning under the Buddha statue and burying her head in her knees stared ahead in a daze, with a lingering worry and anxiety in her tired expression.
After running for so long, it should be safe, right?!
And what about him?! Is he safe too?!
The man surnamed Meng who was sitting next to him was holding the sleeping little boy in his arms, and his eyes glanced at the girl from time to time.
From last night to now, he found that the worried color between the girl's eyebrows had not changed, but was getting stronger and stronger.
The man surnamed Meng felt a sense of guilt in his heart, if it weren't for this kind of thing at home, maybe the girl in front of him and the son surnamed Chen would not have fallen into such a field.
Thinking of this, the man surnamed Meng became more and more reluctant in his heart, he fixed his eyes on the stunned girl, and comforted softly, "Miss Xu, you have to believe in Chen Gongzi, Ji people have their own natural ......."
When the man surnamed Meng said this, as if to prove his words, he turned his head to look at the decaying Buddha statue behind him, and said firmly, "The Buddha will bless Chen Gongzi with peace and sound." ”
When the girl heard this, she raised her eyes and looked at the man surnamed Meng, and Mu Ran said, "I don't believe in Buddhism......
Xu Wanning stood up, there was a certain emotion in her heart, she stubbornly looked at the decaying Buddha statue, and muttered, "If you can make him appear in front of me immediately, then I will believe you once......"
The world fell silent.
There is light sprinkled and smeared with decaying broken Buddha statues.
The golden halo reverberated in Xu Wanning's eyes, as if it was a silent response.
Then, a voice sounded in the quiet world, and together with the refracted golden light, it shone into the girl's heart.
"Xu ...... Girl. ”
