Chapter 17 Acquaintance
At night, on the edge of the camp, Ye Tianxun sat alone at the campfire, roasting the wild boar meat sent by the forward team. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was a person behind him walking towards him.
Ye Tianxun turned his head and saw a thin figure, it was Li Lu.
Li Lu brought a piece of barbecue and sat directly beside Ye Tianxun, "I have a barbecue here." As he spoke, Li Lu handed over the barbecue in his hand.
Ye Tianxun waved his hand and said, "Thank you, aunt...... Brother Tai is kind, but during the mission, you are not allowed to eat foreign objects. At the same time, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was okay, and he almost told him about Li Lu's true gender before.
"You really have a lot of clan rules. Li Lu smiled and put the barbecue aside, holding the saber tightly with one hand, picking up the dry wood at hand with the other hand and throwing it into the fire, looking at the burning bonfire, "Actually, I like your Piaoyun Sect quite a lot, your clan can be said to be the most special sect in the Shenying Realm." ”
It was the first time that Ye Tianxun had heard others talk about his views on the Floating Cloud Sect, and he immediately asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Don't you know?" Li Lu looked at Ye Tianxun's sincerely puzzled expression, and had no choice but to say: "The entire Shenying Realm, no, the entire mortal world, is almost everywhere full of the phenomenon of force overriding ethics. And your Drifting Cloud Sect is different, your Drifting Cloud Sect is like both a big sect and a big family. You mortals and cultivators can live in harmony, there is no strict hierarchy, and there is no such thing as the strong bullying the weak. ”
Ye Tianxun suddenly thought of the introduction of the Zimin Hall: the Zimin Hall is not only responsible for the education and cultivation of the next generation of cultivators, but also responsible for maintaining the life of the entire clan, and the more than 10,000 people of the Piaoyun Sect are not cultivators, so the balance between the two is weighed by the Zimin Hall.
Ye Tianxun said darkly: "Maybe it's because of the existence of the Zimin Hall." ”
Li Lu saw that Ye Tianxun was thinking about it, and continued: "But there is one thing that is not good, that is, your clan does not accept outsiders, you say, how can there be a sect that does not accept foreign disciples?"
Seeing that Ye Tianxun was still thoughtful, Li Lu frowned slightly, "I said so much, why didn't you say a few words?"
Ye Tianxun smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, it's rare for people to say so much to me, and I don't know how to answer for a while." ”
Li Lu could hear the sincerity in Ye Tianxun's words, and said with a smile: "That's it, let's talk about your family, such as how your parents taught you to cultivate." ”
Ye Tianxun put down the half-cooked wild boar in his hand and looked up at the sky, "I don't have parents, and I haven't had them since I was a child." ”
Talking about the other party's sadness, Li Ludun felt guilty, "I'm sorry." ”
"It's fine. Ye Tianxun smiled, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Ye Tianxun, the night of the night, the sky of heaven and earth, the search for it." ”
"My name is ...... Well, it's okay to call me Li Lu. Li Lu said.
"Li Lu Xiuyou. As he spoke, Ye Tianxun stretched out his fist towards Li Lu. Li Lu hesitated, but still smiled and formed a fist with his left hand and stretched it out.
Fists bumping, in the cultivator world, means that the two are officially acquainted.
At the moment when the fists collided, Ye Tianxun felt that Li Lu's fists were very soft, which further confirmed the judgment of her gender.
"Li Lu, come and give me a beating on the back. The man surnamed Liu suddenly shouted.
"Brother Night, I'm leaving. Li Lu smiled slightly, then got up and left, his right hand still tightly holding the saber.
Li Lu walked into the tent where the man surnamed Liu was, took off his hat directly, and his long waterfall-like hair swept through the charming trajectory in the air. Seeing this, the man surnamed Liu was startled, and hurriedly poked his head out of the tent to see if any outsiders were looking here.
"Steward Liu, don't be so careful. Li Lu stroked his hair with one hand and sat down with a saber in his hand.
After making sure that no one was paying attention, and the fire in the tent was not strong, the man surnamed Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, this is an extraordinary time, and it is impossible to be too careful." ”
"By the way, miss, why did you take the initiative to talk to that young man just now......?
"Don't worry. Li Luyu waved his hand lightly, "I just felt that he was a little different from the rest of the Floating Cloud Sect, so I went over and chatted casually." ”
"That's right. The man surnamed Liu supported his chin with his right index finger, "I also feel that something is wrong with that young man, it seems that other people don't treat him very well, but after all, it is an internal matter of the Drifting Cloud Sect, so we don't have to think about it." ”
Li Lu's face flashed a trace of melancholy, "Steward Liu, it's almost time to reach the Hengduan Mountain Range." ”
"yes. The man surnamed Liu sighed gloomily, "If they really chase after them, they will definitely set up an ambush in the Hengduan Mountain Range." ”
Li Lu put the saber sideways, stared at the scabbard carefully, his eyes glowed with a faint luster, and said in a deep voice: "I hope we can avoid this catastrophe." ”
In the dream, Ye Tianxun hit the stone wall again and again due to the rebound force, and he was already a little overwhelmed by hundreds of impacts in a row.
"Why don't you have a clue?"
"How do you use Xuan Qi to turn into Xuan Qi?"
"Am I still wrong in my analysis?"
Ye Tianxun recalled the movements of the white shadow at the beginning, and he didn't know how to do the white shadow step in his heart. Tianxun didn't have the slightest idea of giving up, and every time he punched, he tried his best.
Ye Tianxun didn't know that whenever he was bounced away in a dream, the Xuan Qi in his body in the outside world would suddenly surge at that moment......
Noon on the seventh day of the mission
The caravan came to the Hengduan Mountains, where the original flat avenues became some mountain roads, and the pace of progress was much slower for safety. The residual breath of some fierce beasts caused the black dragon horse to neigh a few times from time to time, and the guards of the man surnamed Liu had to control the carriage more carefully.
In fact, as soon as the caravan entered the Hengduan Mountains, it was targeted by some nearby bandit forces. But the bandits are also experienced people, and when they saw the uniform clothing of the Drifting Cloud Sect's Anbu, they immediately dispelled some restless thoughts. After all, the Drifting Cloud Sect is the biggest force in this area, and a small character like them doesn't dare to mess with it at all.
The guards of a few men surnamed Liu were obviously uneasy, and they had been vigilant all around, even the grass and trees.
Zhao Lingfeng, a member of the Floating Cloud Sect, looked at the guards next to him and was always shocked, so he couldn't help but ask, "Dude, what's wrong? Why do you feel a little scared?"
The guard immediately recovered from his worries and forced a smile, "I'm just worried that there will be some unsightly bandits." ”
Zhao Lingfeng laughed and said, "Don't worry, buddy, there are no powerful characters in this Hengduan Mountain Range at all, the bandits here generally won't move their minds when they see the sign of our Floating Cloud Sect, even if they are bold, they are really open." But when you see Jing Chao repairing, maybe you will be scared to pee your pants. ”
The guard also smiled with Zhao Lingfeng, but the smile was still a little reluctant.
So a very strange scene appeared: most of the people in the Drifting Cloud Sect looked very casual, and the man surnamed Liu was in a state of trembling all the time.
However, there are two exceptions: Jing Chao, as an upper cultivator, whose experience and mind far surpass that of ordinary cultivators, noticed the reaction of the man surnamed Liu, and immediately felt that something was abnormal, and he felt that those people were afraid that they were hiding something.
Another exception is naturally the night search. When he first entered the Hengduan Mountains, Ye Tianxun was extremely nervous, after all, the bandits were all characters who killed people without blinking, and if they were not careful, they might be ambushed. And because Ye Tianxun is born with a strong sense of the outside world, he will sense the existence of dangerous life forms from time to time.
Although Ye Tianxun knew that Jing Chao's cultivation was a deterrent, he had been taught by Gu Huahao since he was a child that the world of cultivators could not tolerate a moment of relaxation. Although this is somewhat absolute, Ye Tianxun still maintains the principle of caution first.
But the day was still as peaceful as ever. At night, they open an open space as a resting place.
Ye Tianxun was still "lonely" sitting in the corner of the camp, roasting meat.
"Why don't you stay with the people of the clan?" Li Lu walked slowly and sat next to Ye Tianxun.
Ye Tianxun shrugged helplessly and sighed: "The reason is too complicated to say. ”
"It's okay, I'm patient. Li Lu didn't notice Ye Tianxun's depressed look, but he was very interested.
Ye Tianxun laughed dryly, "Everyone has their own secrets, just like you are a woman pretending to be a man......" Speaking of this, Ye Tianxun immediately closed his mouth.
Li Lu's expression changed suddenly, and he quickly looked around, and found that there was no one else, "How do you know?" Li Lu's tone was obviously much colder.
Ye Tianxun didn't expect Li Lu to change so much, and said abruptly: "That, when I bumped fists with you a few days ago, I found that your fists were very soft, and then I saw it." ”
Li Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone returned to normal, "You won't tell anyone else, will you?"
"Can you tell me your real name?" Ye Tianxun did not respond directly to Li Lu, but answered in the form of a question.
Li Lu hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said, "Lu Shuiyan." ”
"Nice name. Ye Tian Xun, and then added: "My name is really Ye Tian Xun." ”
"I know. Lu Shuiyan looked at Ye Tianxun's sincere appearance, and couldn't help asking, "Don't you ask me why I dress up as a man?"
Ye Tianxun shook his head, "As I said before, everyone has their own secrets, doesn't they?"
Lu Shuiyan smiled lightly, "I just feel that you are different from others." At this time, Lu Shuiyan suddenly thought of something and said, "Your surname is Ye, I remember that the great war that occurred in your clan sixteen years ago seems to have been detonated by a Venerable Master surnamed Ye. ”
Hearing this, Ye Tianxun trembled, and hurriedly said, "Do you know what happened sixteen years ago?"
