Chapter Eighty-Four: Love You Without Regrets
The night is very dark, the light has been lost, the overall situation of the quicksand nest is not cloudy, and the best way now is to stay still and wait until dawn to make a decision.
Cangli found a place that was quite stable, and let Xiao Qingqian rest for the time being, he first planned to go around to investigate and see if there was any other way out, but Xiao Qingqian stopped him and didn't allow him to go, "I will follow you when you go, I don't want to stay here alone." ”
Cangli couldn't help her, so she had to agree, "Okay, I won't go, I'll accompany you here." ”
"Well, no one will leave anyone behind, in case you go and encounter danger, I can't save you, in case I am buried in quicksand here, you won't be able to find me when you come back, let's wait for dawn, we can see around clearly and know how to deal with it." Xiao Qingqian pulled Cangli and said.
Cangli agreed and sat down with Xiao Qingqian.
Xiao Qingqian and Cangli sat side by side, looking up at the faintly glowing Tianxuan Bead in the sky, this is already the sixth, there will be the seventh in the Yin Party, and there will be eight the day after tomorrow, until the ninth, will this be a deadline, the deadline for them to leave, if this is really the case, thinking of this, Xiao Qingqian immediately held his hands and silently made a wish on his chest, hoping that this was true.
"What's wrong?" Cangli asked puzzled.
"Make a wish to the Heavenly Xuanzhu, hoping that the time when the ninth one rises will be the time when we leave."
"If you say it, you can't make it happen."
"Who knows, maybe it can be done."
The quicksand next to him began to flow again, and Xiao Qingqian couldn't help but lean towards Cangli, almost next to him, "Cangli, can you tell me another story about you?" ”
"What story would you like to hear?"
"It's yours, I want to know more about you."
Cangli thought for a while, and thought of the five grain workshop on the same street as the Dong'an Restaurant, the master who practiced calligraphy, where there was a show girl who had sold all her life of cereals, this grain workshop was opened by her father who had saved half his life's money, and then her father couldn't do it, so she took over and continued to do it.
When she was young, Xiuniang was also a must-have in the Sifang Bazaar, her eyebrows were picturesque, she smiled and smiled, she was as beautiful as a peach in three springs, she was a rare beauty embryo, how many matchmakers stepped through the threshold of this grain workshop, her father did not agree, after all, there was only one girl, how many merry sons took advantage of the reason to get a glimpse of the beauty, and they were all driven out.
However, although Xiuniang is as beautiful as a flower, she is waiting for a guest who will not return in her life. Cangli had never seen a young and beautiful Xiu Niang, what he saw at that time was a middle-aged Xiu Niang, but it still looked charming, and the cherry lips were unforgettable.
It was a summer afternoon, the heat was fading, and the slanting sun in the streets and alleys shone on her shop, this Cangli remembered very clearly, he was just passing by, and Xiuniang called him in.
"I heard that you have never been defeated, and you can do things if you give money?" When she entered the store, Xiuniang asked the first thing she said.
"I can't do everything." Cangli had no idea what she was going to do with herself.
"You will definitely do this, help me kill someone, and you will pay for it." Xiuniang's eyes were very decisive when she said.
"Who are you going to kill? I can remind you that the more valuable the person, the higher the price. ”
"Chu Shan Qi Xuanlang." When she said it, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, she hadn't said this name for at least ten years, but she remembered it clearly in her heart.
"There's no need to kill, he's worthless." As soon as I heard it, it was a small person from a small faction, and now Cangli, who has integrated several major sects, is not interested, and he will not waste this time.
"Why is he not worth it? I spent half my life peerless, waiting for such a person, why is it not worth a penny? ”
"Then why do you want to kill him?"
"He broke the appointment, he didn't come back to marry me as scheduled, he swore when he went to Chushan, he would come to marry me when I was twenty-three, otherwise the sky would thunder, but he was ten years and eight months late and did not come, he should be thundered by the sky, and I will kill him if the sky does not kill him." This is how much I hate that person for not returning is how much I miss him, and in the end, this longing turns into endless disappointment and despair, which can only be resolved until one of them dies.
Cang Li didn't take this business, Kun Ming Palace is too far away to Chu Mountain, and now he has more important things to do, because he has already obtained the qualification to practice Kun Ming Gongfa, that autumn he has to retreat and practice with the door master, and compete with three fellow disciples for the position of the wind gate master, and he has to go through the test of the Kun Hades Palace master, Xiu Niang's business is too small, he didn't pay attention to it.
It's the summer of another year, Cangli, who has just taken over the position of the master of the wind gate, was ordered by the palace master to go to the south to destroy a big faction, passing through Chushan, the moon was surprisingly round that night, the moon was in the sky, the cicadas chirped and the cries of all kinds of insects were particularly loud, and suddenly Cangli remembered Xiuniang's sad and tender eyes, and he went to Chushan.
Chu Shan is really just a small faction that only a radius of dozens of miles knows, and now it is Qi Xuanlang who is in charge of Chu Shan, when Cangli broke into their courtyard, only a big yellow dog was the most alert, barking at him, Cangli just flicked his fingers, the dog did not dare to bark again, and then he kicked open the door of the main hall, and the sound of the door gate breaking finally woke up the people sleeping in this courtyard.
I saw a sleepy-eyed man, his hair unkempt, and his shirt unbuttoned hurriedly came out, "Who?" It's ...... in the middle of the night."
He didn't seem to see Cangli until Cangli's deep and majestic voice sounded, "Tell Qi Xuanlang to come out." ”
The man suddenly fell asleep, looking at Cangli's back and the unique black cloak of the Kun Hades Palace, he was so frightened that he knelt down, "I am, our Chu Shan has almost withdrawn from the rivers and lakes in the past two years, and has never participated in any disputes between the rivers and lakes, let alone prevented your Kun Hades Palace from dominating the rivers and lakes......"
He chattered like this, Cangli didn't want to hear it at all, and Kun Hades Palace would never take Chu Shan in his eyes, "Someone wants to buy your life with money." "The sword in Cangli's hand, the light refracted under the moon is particularly cold, this is the sword obtained by the Kun Hades Palace Heaven Destroying Pavilion, and the Kun Hades Palace Lord gave it to him.
Qi Xuanlang was so frightened that his face was like ashes, he sat on the ground, trembling, his martial arts could not withstand the two moves of Cangli, and suddenly there was a baby's cry in the next room, followed by the voice of a woman coaxing a child, and a child's voice, "Xianggong, what happened outside?" The woman shouted to the door as she coaxed the child.
Qi Xuanlang pricked up his ears and didn't dare to come out when he listened, and then reacted and kowtowed to Cangli is face, knocking the floor loudly, "You can take my life, please let my wife and children go, please, please, please......" His head was broken.
The woman inside heard a sound outside, and came out with the child in her arms, followed by a child of five or six years old behind the "Xianggong ......."
"What are you doing out here! Get back! Qi Xuanlang scolded fiercely.
The woman didn't go back, but also knelt down, and the child in her arms cried loudly, "Our husband and wife have withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, and are no longer involved in sectarian disputes, and the disciples of Chu Mountain have also been sent out of the mountain half a year ago, and I hope that the hero will not hurt my husband's life." ”
was finally negative, Cangli seemed to see Xiuniang's lost face through the moonlight, remembering the last words that Xiuniang said when he left Wugufang, "My life is only enough to love one person, when you kill him, tell him that I love you in this life, I have never regretted it, I want to kill you, and I have never regretted it." ”
"What a poignant story." Xiao Qingqian sighed next to Cangli's arm, "Then did you kill him?" ”
"The moonlight was too bright that night, I forgot."
"I guess you don't, I probably won't be able to do it."
"I've heard the story, so let's sleep."
"Hmm." Xiao Qingqian leaned against Cangli tightly, and in her sleep she still imagined Cangli's world of swords, swords, and shadows, and she didn't want Cangli to return to that world, but she could let him keep talking about that world, and the more he talked, the more he put it down, until one day Cangli would feel that that world was just in the story he told, and it would have nothing to do with his future, which was probably another kind of murder and punishment.
There is always the sound of quicksand flowing around, Cangli didn't close his eyes, always paying attention to the movements around him, he could sense that there was rolling mud and sand below, as long as he saw the situation clearly as soon as the morning dawned, he could control the overall situation and take Xiao Qingqian out of here.
Xiao Qingqian fell asleep steadily against Cangli, and gradually fell asleep and fell asleep along his arm to his arms, Cangli didn't dare to wake her up, let her sleep like this, she hasn't slept well since the snow mountain here, she just thinks that this woman is too incredible sometimes, she used to look like a big sister, and she was worried about everything, but now how did she become so clingy.
After a short wait, the sky finally changed from pitch black to gray black, from gray to gray and white, and the situation on the ground was gradually revealed, but it was completely different from the scene imagined by Cangli, there was no landslide flowing downward, and there was only an endless flat sandy land, and it was completely impossible to see that it was the dangerous place that I experienced last night.
Cangli helped Xiao Qingqian, who was still asleep in his arms, up, "Shallow, wake up, wake up." ”
Xiao Qingqian squinted an eye, fell down again in a blink of an eye, and fell into Cangli's arms again, and simply reached out to hug Cangli's waist, and said coquettishly: "Sleep for a while." ”
"Get up, today we must get out of this land of quicksand."
"Don't worry, we'll be able to get out......"
Cangli didn't take her lightly, and directly picked up the person, so that Xiao Qingqian didn't want to stand up and had to stand, this trick made Xiao Qingqian want to sleep anymore and couldn't sleep, but when she opened her eyes and saw the vast sandy land, she couldn't believe it, "This is the quicksand nest?" ”
Last night's feeling was that the yin was constantly sliding, how could it be such a flat sand at this moment, it was really hard to believe, "Then what should we do now?" ”
Cang Li glanced up at Tianxuanzhu and replied, "Didn't that mount say that you can get to the Demon Lord's God and Demon Hall through the quicksand, let's go in the direction of Tianxuanzhu." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Qingqian took a step forward as he spoke, but he didn't know that the mud and sand under his feet was a whirlpool, and he directly sucked Xiao Qingqian's feet down, and in a panic, Xiao Qingqian could only grab Cangli, and Cangli also grabbed her tightly and wanted to pull her up.
But no matter how hard Cangli tried, the quicksand whirlpool sucked Xiao Qingqian's feet fiercely, and quickly devoured her upwards, reaching her waist after a while, and submerging her neck in an instant, "Let it go, otherwise you will be sucked in......" Xiao Qingqian let go of his hand.
Cangli still held on and refused to let go, "Don't let go of ......"
But Xiao Qingqian was completely swallowed by the quicksand, and completely disappeared under Cangli's nose......
