In the smoke and rain, walk on that journey.

In the smoke and rain, fly that part of the distance.

Smoke and rain, with my thoughts, that is the hometown in my dreams.

Every night in my dreams, I think of you.

Home, you are my sun, warm my heart, illuminate the light, and find you, that is my dream. (Note 1:)

Humming a minor tune, a group of six people walked on the song.

Facing the drizzle like a light mist, they passed through the majestic snow-capped mountains and picked the white snow lotus.

The drizzle soaked their clothes, but it couldn't dampen their dedication to travel.

Further on, passing through the villages at the foot of the mountain.

The industrious farmer carried the plough on his back and led his old oxen to the morning sun, walked into the field, and began the day's ploughing.

At noon, there are peasant wives delivering meals, and in the evening, there are stars and moons, and they go back together.

The farmer carries the plough, the farmer's wife holds the basket, and the oxen and children carry each other, which is the happiness of the family.

Further on, the rain suddenly began to increase rapidly.

Walking on the muddy dirt road, following the stumbling business travel, bathing in the spring breeze, walking to the city not far away.

The city does not reduce its prosperity because of the rapid spring rains, and only the hurried pedestrians let people know that it is full of fireworks.

The winding motorcade, the hurried pedestrians, and the continuous spring rain can't extinguish the flames of those who struggle for their ideals.

The six people who were walking slowly, the fat-faced junior brother suddenly said, "Senior brother, I'm going to break through." Then he sat cross-legged under one of the eaves by the roadside inside the city gate.

Zhang Fan was not surprised, and the remaining four people sat cross-legged under the eaves one after another, judging from the fluctuations of the aura, they were also about to break through.

Zhang Fan was happy in his heart, and casually arranged a simple defensive prohibition, and he sat down in the rain, meditated with his eyes closed, and waited for the breakthrough of the five people.

A young woman, walking on a muddy road with a shabby shirt behind her, struggled to move forward in the rain, with a man lying on the shirt.

Zhang Fan guarded the breakthrough of several juniors, and he did not allow anything unexpected to happen.

So Zhang Fan released his divine sense and swept over the clothes he was pulling, only to find that it was an old woman who had no breath, and her skinny body was almost skinny, obviously starving all the time.

The young woman in front of her was also emaciated, with yellow muscles and thin muscles, which should be caused by not being able to eat normally for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan was suddenly stunned, opened his eyes and looked at the woman, only to see that the face in front of him was delicate, the situation was embarrassed but the demeanor was elegant, obviously not from a small family, and there was still an aura in his body, as if it was sealed. However, at this time, Zhang Fan did not pay attention to it, and then continued to close his eyes and meditate.

The woman did not go far, but walked a few steps forward with her shirt on her hand, and when she reached the city gate, she pulled on her shirt and walked to the side of the road. He grabbed a thatch from the side of the road, stuck it in his bun, and then knelt down, bowed his head and closed his eyes.

Insert a label and sell his body, wanting to bury his family.

Zhang Fan's divine sense scanned the four directions, looking at this situation, he wanted to get up, thought about it and sat down again, but his divine sense paid more attention to this young woman.

The drizzle gradually stopped, and the spring breeze hit the body, which was slightly cold.

The young woman, still with her head down, looked down at the ground in front of her. The drizzle-soaked placket clings to her beautiful body, revealing her delicate curves.

It's just that the slight coldness of the spring breeze has frozen her heart. A year of world torment, no matter how hot the heart is, will be frozen.

The sun is getting stronger, the number of pedestrians is increasing, and the number of onlookers is increasing.

Finally, a man in white who looked like a gentleman came with a few servants.

The man in white walked up to the woman, squatted down with a smile, and suddenly reached out and pinched the woman's chin, lifting the woman's face to the eyes. I saw that although the woman's face was thin and covered with mud, Joan's nose and lips were pretty, and her appearance was still pretty.

When the man in white saw this, he suddenly pulled the woman up, and pulled the woman to leave.

The woman broke away from the hand held by the man in white, and said softly: "Please ask Gongzi to let my mother be buried, and after the burial, I will go with Gongzi, and I am willing to make cattle and horses for Gongzi." ”

The man in white smiled and said, "Just follow me, and someone will bury your mother." ”

After the white-clothed boy finished speaking, a servant immediately laughed in the rear and said, "Although the girl goes with my son-in-law, I will handle your mother's affairs." "Just talking, with a playful smile, obviously just a joke.

The man in white said again: "Girl, look, my servants have promised to help you bury your mother, come with me." After speaking, he reached out to take the woman's wrist.

It's just that the woman has experienced a year of displacement, and she is no longer a boudoir woman who didn't understand the world before, so she won't understand that all this is a pretext.

It's just that the only person in front of her who may be able to help herself, the woman stepped back, dodged the palm of the white-clothed man, and said again: "Thank you for your love, but I hope to watch my mother be buried, and ask my son to be fulfilled." ”

The man in white seemed to be ruthless, waved his hand back, and several doglegs surrounded the woman. Only then did the man in white say fiercely: "Toast and don't eat, eat and punish wine, when did the woman I Zhou Gongzi fancy run away and be arrested." With that, he turned away, and seven or eight dog-legged servants pounced on the woman.

During the struggle, the woman was grabbed by the hands and feet and then tied. The woman was so anxious that she shouted again and again, and in a hurry, the woman suddenly shouted in the direction of Zhang Fan: "Immortal Master, Immortal Master, please save me, the little woman Xiahou Ying is willing to be a slave and serve the Immortal Master." ”

Zhang Fan opened his eyes and looked at the woman who was tied up, and was about to get up.

Suddenly, a big man in a strong suit and a hat crossed over the crowd, stretched out his hand to stop the servants who were about to carry people, looked at Xiahou Ying who was bound, and completely ignored several servants.

After looking at it for a moment, he asked the woman, "Your name is Xiahou Ying?" ”

Xiahou Ying saw that someone intercepted her, so she calmed down, looked at the big man in front of her and replied, "My name is Xiahou Ying." ”

Dahan said again: "What is your father's name?" ”

Xiahou Ying glanced at the man again and said, "My father Xiahou Qing is a single word Gong." After speaking, he looked at the big man in front of him expectantly.

When Dahan heard this, he suddenly pulled out the long knife behind his back, swung forward, cut the rope on Xiahou Ying's body, and then knocked several servants to the ground with a wave of his hand.

Only then did he come to Xiahou Ying again and said, "Niece Sakura, you saw me when you were a child, my name is Kong Xiang." That year, my niece was six years old, and when she went out of the city to play, she saved a body refiner, that is me, I was recuperating in your house for half a month, and you still pestered me to teach you the art of body refining, but what I practiced was not suitable for women, so I didn't teach you. ”

Xiahou Ying looked at Kong Xiang carefully, only to see that his face was full of beard, his hair was also messily draped in front of him, and his clothes were already in tatters, only in those happy eyes.

Xiahou Ying saw this, and only then did she compare it with the person in front of her from her memory, and she was sure that it was someone she had seen before. Only then did he bow down and salute: "Ying'er, I've seen Uncle Xiang, I don't know where Uncle Xiang came from?" ”

Kong Xiang looked at Xiahou Ying and said: "I heard in the capital that something happened to your family, and when I arrived at your house, there was no one in your house, so I asked around and found out that your father had died, and you and your mother came to Wanghai, so I slowly looked for this place from your house." By the way, what about your mother, why haven't you seen your mother? ”

When Xiahou Ying heard this, suddenly a big teardrop slipped from the corner of her eyes, and she finally had to talk about her after a year of displacement.

With tears in her eyes, she led Kong Xiang to the clothes by the side of the road, where her mother was lying.

Kong Xiang saw the woman lying on top of his clothes, and hurriedly squatted down and stretched out his hand to check, just feeling the pulse at his lower wrist and the woman's body temperature.

The body is cold, the pulse is completely absent, and it has been dead for a long time. After watching silently for a while, he got up, picked up the hat on his body, bent down and saluted: "Sister-in-law, brother, I'm late, and when I heard that something happened to you, I rushed from the capital to Xianyang, but the journey was more than 5,000 miles, and my brother couldn't find my brother and sister-in-law and niece when I arrived." ”

"I asked around and found out that my brother had passed away, and my sister-in-law and niece had come thousands of miles to join my family. The younger brother came to chase along the road, just because he was looking around, but the road ahead was difficult to find, and finally came one step too late, and the younger brother saluted the sister-in-law. ”

After saying that, he leaned down and knelt down and kowtowed three times on the ground.

After getting up, he said to Xiahou Ying: "Niece, we will bury your mother first, and then I will take you back to the capital, where is my home, I am also from a family, and someone will take care of your future life when you go to the capital." ”

Xiahou Ying listened to Kong Xiang's words, pondered for a moment and said, "Can Uncle Xiang help me avenge my family revenge." ”

Kong Xiang pondered for a while and replied: "Family feuds can't be, I can only ensure that you spend the rest of your life in peace." ”

Xiahou Ying said again: "Uncle Xiang, can you teach me to refine my body or cultivate the truth in the future?" ”

Kong Xiang heard Xiahou Ying's question, thought for a moment and said: "Our Kong family's body refining exercises are only suitable for men, as for cultivation, I can only help you sign up in the recruitment institute in the capital, whether I can accept you or not, I can't guarantee this." ”

Xiahou Ying turned her head to look at Zhang Fan and pondered for a moment.

Kong Xiang followed Xiahou Ying's gaze, and when he saw Zhang Fan, he was immediately shocked, and a trace of coolness surged in his heart, he immediately knew that the cultivation of the meditating person Xiahou Ying saw was profound, and it was not comparable to himself.

Kong Xiang pondered for a moment, and this time nodded to Xiahou Ying.

Xiahou Ying knew what it meant, so she slowly walked towards Zhang Fan. Walking to Zhang Fan's seven or eight feet, he slowly knelt down and bowed to the ground: "Please accept me as an apprentice?" ”

Zhang Fan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him.

At this moment, waves of spiritual power fluctuations came from the eaves behind him, and Zhang Fan hurriedly got up and looked at the people under the eaves. He knew that this must be his five junior disciples who had broken through.

After waiting for a while, the five senior brothers slowly opened their eyes, got up and saluted Zhang Fan, "Thank you, senior brother, for your kindness!" ”

Zhang Fan smiled and replied: "Congratulations to the five junior brothers for their success, congratulations." ”

Immediately, several people raised their heads and laughed, and the laughter shook the sky, so startled that dozens of officers and soldiers who rushed from the city did not dare to step forward.

Note 1: A song written blindly, the song refers to "Lamp" sung by singer Zhang Lulian, which is also an episode of tomb robbery notes.
