Chapter 117: Appearance is king
Wu Yan and Shui Congyue hurriedly walked on the mountain road, their legs bulging and adorned with a blanket filled with sunken wood. The sunken wood was the result of robbery, and it was originally used as an auxiliary material for making some magic weapons, and its material was extremely heavy, even twice as heavy as fine iron.
It had been two days since he left Zhige Mountain, and after Wu Jian discussed with Wu Lao and others, the three of them were no longer separated. Because Wu Gan's cultivation was the lowest, he was escorted out of the Zhujuan country by water from the moon. And Wu Lonely is far away, beware of possible dangers.
Today's Zhu Juan Country can no longer tolerate the three of them to act calmly. Xiao Nai and Meng Jue's death together can be said to have taught the three of them a good lesson. Although there are big women who do great evils among the qi practitioners, there are also people with noble character, and there are also life and death feelings that are as high as mountains, as deep as the sea, and as strong as wine.
The three of them had preconceived preconceptions early on, believing that the qi practitioners were just a group of greedy people who were trying to steal the anointment of heaven and earth. Now I know that what I have seen is indeed short-sighted.
The world is complicated, how can it be black and white, not friend or foe, how can we judge good and evil from a standpoint.
There are still five fingers of length, and any group is also good and bad, black and white, and it is impossible to cut it all in one size. After this experience, the three of them also secretly reflected on themselves, there are also merits in practicing qi, and there are also people like Xiao Nai and Meng Jue.
These generous and righteous people, regardless of their position, can be friends on weekdays, can be friends, see them like a spring breeze, such as drinking sweet food, and become friends and brothers in the season.
However, when it comes to the gains and losses of the camp, it does not prevent the two sides from drinking and drinking, throwing glasses and laughing to go out, fighting to the death, and going to the death with anger, which is for the sake of the righteousness in their respective hearts.
The great righteousness and the small righteousness are not contradictory, they just want to be open in their hearts.
Along the way, Shui Congyue didn't say a word, fought in Zhige Mountain, and finally broke through the realm. It is said that there is such a happy event, but Shui Congyue is not happy at all. Although this battle is won, but killing a righteous man, there is one less pair of noble people in the world, and there can be half a point of joy.
Wu Gen didn't have so many thoughts, and now he just wanted to practice the Divine Movement Technique well, so he had so much sunken wood tied to his body. If nothing else, if you encounter something like Xiao Nai in the future, you can at least escape if you can't beat it, leaving a little room for each other. If they meet again in the future, they can still drink in the breeze and sing to each other, instead of being like now, they can only sprinkle wine in front of their graves and sacrifice friends, and be sad.
The further back you go, the stricter the checks on the road become. The deaths of Xiao Nai and Meng Jue alarmed the cultivation world of Zhu Juan Kingdom, and even such a master fell into the three ghosts of Zhu Juan, and the royal family finally paid attention to it. On the one hand, the masters of various major sects were mobilized to intercept them, and on the other hand, the royal family also sent experts to find the traces of the three people.
On this day, Wu Gen and Shui went north from the moon all the way to a place called Zhibupo. After this, as long as you go west along the Qiling Ancient Road, you can reach the Zhao Kingdom.
After passing the stop slope, Wu Gen was ready to separate from Shui Congyue and Wu Lone, and then wait for the opportunity to move.
Walking up this rolling high slope, the sky has turned cold, the frost is all over the sky, and the sun is as bleak as water.
Looking at the white breath exhaled from his mouth, Wu Yan rubbed his face that was a little numb, "Congyue, stop here. Further on, it was much less populated, and it should be safe. The green mountains do not change, the green water flows for a long time, and today the pool is shallow, and he will turn into a dragon in the future, and then we will meet again. It's just that Chu Ji is going to bother you."
Shui Congyue snorted coldly, and said lightly, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of Chu Ji, just take care of yourself. Improve your cultivation earlier, so as not to be slapped to death like a reptile. I can tell you, you have to pay for the first day. You are dead, and to whom do I ask for it?"
"Is there a reptile that big?" Wu Yan was angry, pointed to his nose and said, "Don't worry, good people don't live long, bad people live for a thousand years, I will live well." Let's go, the two big men are chirping here, disgusting, by the way, talk to Lao Wu, and I won't say goodbye to him." Knowing that it was Shui Congyue who was worried about himself, although Wu Congyue complained on the surface, he was actually warm in his heart.
Shui Congyue pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, walked up to Wu Gan, and gently hugged his shoulder a little awkwardly, "Take care, stay alive."
Wu Gan's body stiffened, and he patted his back gently, "Don't worry, I want to be the owner of the village, and I can't die." It's you, don't be so rigid all day long, be soft, be soft, be sleek, and don't suffer."
Two
People are silent, hugging lightly and parting.
"Gone." Wu Gen walked north without looking back, and waved his hand lightly.
Shui Congyue quietly watched its back for a long time, until the back slowly disappeared down the slope.
"Ugh." With a long sigh, Shui Congyue was just about to turn around and return, when his expression suddenly changed, "Huh?"
Wu Gan's figure reappeared, his body stiffened, and he walked backwards step by step to the top of the slope.
A young man wearing a jade crown, a purple shirt, and a moon-white luanphoenix-like belt around his waist was approaching step by step. The man had a handsome face, his body was like a jade tree, he raised his hands and feet and was graceful, staring at Wu Gen with a smile.
Behind him, there were two old men dressed in black, with white faces and beards, who followed the man closely. After that, fifty elite soldiers followed suit, and the murderous aura that soared into the sky shot out, and it was not easy to match at a glance.
As soon as the water sank from the heart of the moon, he arrived in front of Wu Yan in one step, and the long halberd hung down to his side, looking coldly at the group of people rumbling up.
"We met again so soon, it seems that your heart is moving from the moon, and the thief is reluctant to let me go." Wu Yan smiled abruptly and pulled out his broken knife. The other party's big battle, especially those two who don't need to be old, put a lot of pressure on Wu Gan, I'm afraid that today will be more auspicious.
"I'll stop you, you run away." Shui Congyue held the black handle of the halberd tightly.
"Forget it, you have good means, you go, you can't get away. I'm going to delay for a moment or two, but I'm afraid it won't last long, and we can live one more and take care of Chuji for me." Wu Yan held the bow in his hand and began to untie the sinking wood tied to his legs, he had to fight for his life today, and whether he could live or not could only depend on the will of heaven.
Seeing that Shui Congyue didn't retreat, Wu Yan stepped forward, blocked Shui Congyue behind him, turned around and said angrily: "Go, I'm the leading brother, I let you do everything in the past, I can't give in today, get out quickly." The voice was deliberately louder. In this way, even if there is a fight, the other party will definitely have to concentrate on taking down this big brother, so as to create some opportunities for Shui Congyue to escape.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Congyue?" A crisp voice came.
Wu Yan turned his head in astonishment, and it was the handsome guy who made the sound, who was stretching his neck to look at Shui Congyue behind him.
After rolling his eyes, Wu Yan stopped the movement in his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Gongzi's surname is great, how do you know my subordinates."
The man's face changed, and his face was like frost, "Get out, what qualifications do you have to make Brother Congyue surrender to you." Again, cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs."
Hearing the man's scolding, Wu Gen was not angry but happy, a good thing, this person recognized the water from the moon, and the situation was still very intimate, his own family, what to fight, it seems that he can't still survive today. Both hands made a gesture of invitation, and Wu Gan avoided it, not preventing the two from catching up.
At this moment, a figure in the distance rushed over, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of him, but Wu Lone, who found that something was wrong, hurried over.
"Brother Congyue, I'm Mi'er." The man didn't care about Wu Lonely, and quickly came to Shui Congyue in broken steps, with affection in his eyebrows, and there was a hint of his little daughter's coquettishness. This move startled the two old men behind him, and they hurriedly followed.
Wu Gan's body was cold, and when he looked closely, this person's creamy neck did not have an Adam's apple, and he suddenly gave a thumbs up from the moon in secret.
Shui Congyue's face was weird, her face trembled slightly, the corners of her mouth twitched, and her expression was even more ugly than crying, "Why are you here?"
"My father ordered the three ghosts to be arrested, and the others went to a crowded place. I was too lazy to join in the fun, so I brought someone to wait in front of this ancient road, but I didn't expect to run into Brother Yue." Hearing this, Shui Congyue's face trembled even more.
Wu Yan clapped his hands lightly, and now he was stable, and his salutation was one less word, and he was obviously closer.
The young man, no, it should be a woman, looked at Wu Lonely and Wu Gan, frowned, "Brother, is it possible that you are really ......" suddenly turned around and said to the people behind him: "No one is allowed to say anything about today's affairs, otherwise, this princess will not be spared." Stand down."
"Why?" One of the leading men in the pawn gave up his hand, but he was a little embarrassed: "Princess, this ......."
"Stand down." The woman's tone accentuated.
With a bang, the soldiers retreated neatly and quickly disappeared down the slope.
"Brother, who are these two?" The woman looked at Wu Yan and Wu Lone, and hesitated.
Shui Congyue pursed her lips and said with difficulty: "Zhou Mi, these two are my brothers, and I hope the princess will be forgiving, let them go."
Zhou Mi had an inexplicable smile on his face, and circled around the water from the moon, "Brother, since I was a child, I have never seen you soft, what is it today?"
Walking in front of Shui Congyue, he tilted his feet and raised his head and said, "Brother, what you have committed this time is too big, my father is quite angry, wouldn't it be a disobedience to the order if you let them go, how can my father spare me." However, it's rare for my brother to bow his head once, it's not impossible, it's just ......" said with his eyes flashing, staring at Shui Congyue with affection.
Wu Yan and Wu Liao also saw it at this time, what is this called Zhou Mi's princess is estimated to be Shui Congyue's little fan sister, the two glanced at each other and smiled. The only thing I am worried about now is that the water comes up from the moon, which refutes people's face.
Seeing that the water was silent for a long time, Wu Yan was anxious, this water from the moon, everything is good, but this is not good, his temperament is too hard. At this time, take a little soft, and coax a couple of sentences, isn't there nothing to do. If I had such a skin, I would have taken down this week's stuff and escorted myself all the way out of the country, maybe I could keep a cub.
"I'll go back with you and let them go." Finally, Shui Congyue spoke, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Mi's eyes were joyful, and there was spring between his eyebrows, and he gently hugged Shui Congyue's arm, "Then let's go."
Shui Congyue's body stiffened, "No, I have to watch them leave." You have been cunning and moody since childhood, and who knows what kind of means you will use."
"Hmm......" Zhou Mi pulled a long voice, her voice was soft, and she said coquettishly, "Brother, that's to others, to you, when did I lose my trust." It's okay for you and me to see them leave." Saying that, I hugged it tighter...
Wu Yan and Wu Lao glanced at each other, said goodbye to Shui Congyue, and were about to leave in a hurry. Princess Zhou's actions are more uncomfortable than killing Shui Congyue, so it is better to leave earlier and let her brother be freed as soon as possible.
"Listen, you two, there are already people squatting on this ancient road, and with the strength of your others, it can be said that it is difficult to fly, so you should find another way. To the north is the Plateau of Annihilation, which is unguarded, but safer. Remember, if you are caught, you must not expose my brother, so you can do it yourself." Zhou Mi said loudly.
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and understood in his heart that Zhou Mi didn't care about the safety of himself and Wu Lonely, but was just afraid of being caught and affecting Shui Congyue. But since this is the case, the information provided by the person is more credible.
and Wu Lao left the stop slope, and sure enough, no one stopped him. The two did not dare to go further to the ancient road, but went straight to the north, found a place where no one was, and sat down to discuss it carefully.
