Chapter 743: Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom Eighteen
Beneath the Sword Mountain, the Dark River is not only dark, it is also as chaotic as a spider's web.
Tracing through the exit below the cloud valley, it was extremely narrow at first, allowing only one small boat to pass.
Walking in the covenant, there was a sudden cheerfulness inside.
Just by the light of the torches, you can see that this place looks like a huge lake!
On all sides of this lake, there are countless caves.
The water from the cave flowed into the lake and out of the hole.
The water flow is not turbulent, indicating that the drop is not large.
But in the face of so many dark rivers, no one knows which one leads to the place of Forgetfulness.
That's just a matter of luck.
Lu Xiaoyu, the lord of Yun'an, divided everyone into three teams.
Among them, Amu, Wu Wen and Qiuchen are in a team.
This was obviously done by Lu Xiaoyu on purpose, and Amu wanted to refuse, but he still didn't say it after all.
After the three of them entered the huge lake, they chose a large dark hole on the left, and Amu rowed into the dark hole.
This walk is more than ten days.
It was a long time, but it wasn't too far, because Amu needed to leave marks at the branches he passed.
For the first three days, the three of them didn't seem to say a word in a tacit agreement.
On the fourth day, Wu Wen began to ask about Amu's past.
Amu didn't answer, he chose to be silent.
It wasn't until the sixth day that Wu Wen asked again, and Amu would occasionally reply with a sentence or two, and he seemed to be absent-minded.
But is it really absent-minded?
Of course not.
Amu rarely speaks on weekdays, and even if he talks occasionally, he mostly talks to his junior brother Wang Zhenghaoxuan, Li Chenan and other people he is familiar with.
In the face of strangers, he has an instinctive self-preservation.
Just like begging in Yujing City in his childhood, he was afraid that those people would snatch the broken bowl in his hand, and even more afraid that someone would snatch half of the steamed buns that he had finally begged for!
He doesn't trust anyone easily, and he always maintains a high degree of vigilance against people he doesn't know.
Even if he went to Mushan Dao, he was with those uncles and disciples day and night in Mushan Dao for more than ten years.
He let down his guard against all the talents of the Makiyama Knife, but it was based on the familiarity of each other.
The kind of defense engraved in his bones makes the door of his heart not open easily, which makes it difficult for outsiders to enter his heart.
He longs for sunshine and warmth.
So he has a lot of trust in the people he knows.
For example, the little junior brother, such as Li Chenan, such as ...... Zhongli Ruoyu!
was rescued by the second master of Zhongli Mansion in Kyoto, and Zhongli Ruoyu actually gave him the first ray of sunshine in this world out of the compassion of that little girl.
At that moment, the sun shone into his heart.
made him feel that his world was finally warm, so he remembered Zhongli Ruoyu firmly, and even longed to be by Zhongli Ruoyu's side for the rest of his life-
He fantasized about being able to marry Zhongli Ruoyu!
He felt that was the greatest luck in his life!
It may be that some of his actions seem too intimate, or it may be that Zhongli Ruoyu just treats him as a guard.
He was sent to Li Chen'an's side by Zhongli Ruoyu, and he was depressed because of this, and he couldn't sleep at night because of it.
But gradually he figured it out.
He and Zhongli Ruoyu are people of two worlds!
Miss Ruoyu is the phoenix on the plane tree, and she ...... Just a tiny ant under the tree.
The boy's dream of first love was shattered.
So he became even more reticent.
But he cherishes this rare friendship with Li Chenan more and more.
Just as he once said to Li Chen'an, "As long as I'm alive, you can't die!" ”
It was just a promise when it was said.
Now, this sentence has become his guardian.
It's just that he never dreamed that his parents were really alive and really appeared in front of him.
He was still nervous these days.
Although he already knew that it was really not a dream, he still did not know how to get along with such strange parents.
He was defenseless against his parents in front of him, but his heart was not opened because of this.
Wu Wen was a little anxious.
Qiu Chen seemed to be a little more indifferent.
"Amu,"
Amu, who was rowing, was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Qiu Chen, and whispered "um".
"My father has thought carefully these days, first of all, it must be my father's life."
"Back then...... When you were still in infancy, after they snatched you, the news came that you are no longer alive......"
Qiuchen's voice was very low, and Amu's hand holding the oars stiffened slightly.
"Your mother and I believed it, but your mother was heartbroken and returned to the Tianshan Mountains and never came down again."
"My father was in the White Deer Academy, and I never looked for you again."
"After learning the news that you are still alive a few days ago, your mother went down the mountain in the wind and snow, and your father also left the White Deer Academy......
"We were heading towards Ningguo, and we wanted to go to Ningguo to find you, but we met Mr. Tu Er on the way...... It was Lu Xiaoyu's big housekeeper, and he said that you and Xiao Wu were both returning to the garden. ”
"Your mother and I rushed to the garden without stopping, but it was said that you had left the garden and headed for the Sword Washing Building, so we rushed to the Sword Washing Building."
"I am telling you this, of course, in the hope that I will be able to get your forgiveness...... But the father also knows that this resentment is quite deep in your heart, you don't forgive the father, the father can understand, but please forgive your mother! ”
"When the news of your untimely death came, your mother turned white overnight...... You're the meat of her heart......"
Amu lowered his head slightly, he shook the sculls again, and after a moment he whispered: "These things, let's talk about them after we go out." ”
He raised his head again, his eyes looked at Qiu Chen, then at Wu Wen, and his eyes fell on the dark river in the distance.
"Now I need to concentrate on remembering this path, and I need to concentrate just in case."
"Uncle Lu said that if Zhongli Mansion is really a descendant of the royal family who once left the Great Empire, then they probably also know that they can enter the Forgetting Terrace by water."
"In order to ensure that everything is safe, it is difficult to say that there are masters in the hidden sect here......"
Amu sighed for three breaths and said:
"No matter what happened between us, Li Chen'an...... He's my brother! ”
"I once promised him that if I live, he will not die!"
"So don't distract me now, if he's all right...... I'll talk to you guys when I get out. ”
This is the most Amu has said in so many days.
Qiuchen was about to say something more, but was stopped by Wu Wen.
A smile appeared on Wu Wen's face, "You're right, there is a dangerous ...... hidden here."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly turned her head to look to the left.
The moment she turned her head, her eyes widened suddenly, "Qiang ......!" With a thud, he pulled out the sword on his back!
"Be careful!"
An arrow shot out of a dark river on the left!
Wu Wen didn't shoot at the arrow.
Because the speed of that arrow was not fast.
Because of the faint light of the torch, she saw a small bamboo tube tied to the arrow.
She stretched out a hand and grasped the arrow in her hand.
She removed the bamboo tube and pulled out a piece of paper with a peach petal on it.
The petals are delicate and have only lost a little redness.
Underneath this petal is written four words:
"Danger!"
"Hurry back!"
