Unsheathed Sword Chapter 48: The Mysterious Feng'er
Xu Huaigu didn't stay on the top of the mountain for too long.
He saw that Feng'er had been sitting on the edge of the cliff since dawn and had no intention of leaving until noon, and he was a little impatient.
And he himself was tired of seeing the scenery, and he really couldn't stay, so he left the cliff and went to the stream where he had rested before to continue his practice.
However, just after a morning of contact with Feng'er, he had a deep affection for this girl.
Although he was very puzzled by the strange words of "Because my name is Feng'er, this mountain is called Fengtou Mountain", the girl's words after that were really just the innocent words of a little girl, and he regarded it as a dispensable joke and did not delve into it.
He decided to bring the silver to Crested Mountain the next day to help the girl through the difficult time.
Of course, there is also the idea of getting the two swords back as soon as possible, after all, I haven't touched the hilt of the sword for a few days, and my hands are quite unaccustomed.
Xu Huaigu squatted down, scooped a handful of water by the stream, washed his face, and took another sip, with a hint of sweetness on the tip of his tongue.
He made a decision in his heart, so he took a deep breath, chose a shade plate and sat down, and began to recite the magic of the golden shuttle talisman again, preparing to spend the day in practice.
……
The top of the cliff.
The girl Feng'er had already walked down from the edge of the cliff, and was leaning against the trunk of a big tree with strange branches that looked like a dragon.
She held a string of long, purple-red wildflowers and turquoise vines, weaving a small ring. Looking at the size of the small ring, it should be worn on the wrist, but the girl's two wrists have a clear belonging.
She had a bright red and navy green string tied around each of her wrists. The string is extremely gorgeous, the color is gorgeous, and you can vaguely see the star-like brilliance flowing continuously, like a real living thing.
She was very careful about making it up, so it didn't take long for her to get a little tired. She sat down on a piece of moss under the tree, gently stroked the ribbon on her wrist, and her eyes were gentle and extremely doting.
At this moment, an old man quietly walked out from the depths of the woods.
Feng'er seemed to be frightened by his sudden appearance, her movements stiffened, and the two thin ropes between her wrists disappeared in an instant.
But when she saw the old man's face clearly, she seemed to relax again, laughed at herself, and picked up the little wreath and knitted it again.
The old man who suddenly appeared was wearing a python-red robe, a Confucian scarf tied on his head, and his feet were wooden, and his steps were steady and powerful.
His eyes were deep and focused, his face was angular, he had a pair of triangular eyebrows, and he had a sense of unsmiling as a scholar, and he looked very majestic.
The girl seemed to be in a good mood.
She asked, "You have also come to Dongfuyao Continent, it seems that the situation has been really bad recently." ”
The old man nodded and said, "No, you must already know about that person's escape, and now everyone in the world is in danger, and their hearts are very disturbed." ”
The girl kept working on her hands, and asked rhetorically, "Then you should be very busy, why do you have time to come to me today?" ”
The old man's color became solemn, his tone was a little helpless, and he said: "It's still the old yellow calendar from before, I want to trouble you when the time comes......
The old man stopped at this point, and what he wanted to say seemed to be a very difficult request of a strong man, and he was a little embarrassed.
The girl was still calm and light, and seemed to have guessed her intentions.
She replied, "I will not do anything that brings about my own destruction." I originally thought that the human race would be kinder than my demon race, but in fact, it was nothing more than that, far less than I originally thought. Intrigue and deceit, only more than my clan. ”
The old man said helplessly: "Yes, today is not as good as the generation. When the wind and rain are shaking, the world is also declining, and hope is getting slimmer and slimmer. That's why I came here from Middle-earth to see if I could give my old bones one last of my strength. Now that I'm getting older, my body is weaker, and only this face is worth a little price, so I beg you. ”
The girl shook her head and said, "If I came to ask you for something that would cost you your life, would you do it?" ”
The old man's face was resolute, and he said, "Then it depends on whether this matter is worth my death." Actually, I came to Dongfuyaozhou this time, and I didn't plan to go out alive. The rest of Middle-earth wants to leave this continent behind and build a big deal with the land of one continent. But I can't stand it, the lives of tens of millions of people will die if they die, and I will never agree. ”
The girl raised her willow eyebrows, sighed and said, "You are still exactly the same as you were a few decades ago, and this character is destined to suffer a big loss." ”
The old man laughed at himself: "What else can you lose? I'm going to throw my life here, who can help me? ”
The girl was a little depressed and said, "It seems that there is one less kind-hearted person in the world." ”
The old man laughed out loud and said generously: "It doesn't matter if you don't have me!" As long as my human race is still alive for a day, there will only be more people with a better heart than me. I don't think I'll see them, but I know they're going to show up. ”
Feng'er also smiled: "I hope so." But the thing that killed me, forget it, I won't agree. ”
The old man did not persuade again, but said: "It's okay, I respect your decision." There is nothing wrong with this, all lives are equal, and no one has the right to let others die. Actually, I knew I was going to run for nothing, but I still wanted to meet you. ”
The girl had just finished knitting the bracelet at this time, so she threw it away, and said casually, "What do I have that you are worthy of seeing?" But seeing how hard you run, this bracelet will be given to you. Also, try not to die when the time comes. ”
The old man laughed heartily when he heard this, and he was very happy, as if he had exhaled all the filthy breath that had been held on his body for decades.
He immediately put the bracelet on, as if he was afraid that the girl would take it back if she regretted it, and said with a smile: "I will definitely try my best, then we will meet next time." ”
After saying that, his figure loomed in place, and finally disappeared.
The girl lowered her head and looked at the ground sluggishly, remembering many, many old things from many years ago, shook her head again, and sighed: "The matter of Chen sesame and rotten grain is still a little annoying......
……
This night, Xu Huaigu was concentrating on cultivation, but he was suddenly startled for no reason. He intuitively sensed that something bad was about to happen, so he quickly stopped his cultivation and vigilantly paid attention to the movements around him.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the chaotic footsteps of many people to appear, accompanied by whispered conversations, towards the stream.
Xu Huaigu wondered in his heart, most of the people who came to the woods at night were not a good thing. In a flash of inspiration, he climbed up a pine tree the size of a bowl, and stood on a tall branch quietly waiting for the group to arrive.
Soon, a strong man with two Xuanhua axes on his back took the lead in walking to the open space by the stream.
The strong man has a fleshy face, a tall body, and a big beard growing messily on his lower lip. The bright moonlight shone down, and his face was even more vicious and hideous.
Immediately following the steps of this strong man, more than thirty people walked out of the forest one after another, all of them were tall young men, looking murderous.
Xu Huaigu couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.
This force is really not small, and a youth team of more than 40 people, as long as they do not provoke the officers and soldiers and monks, can walk sideways in this mountain.
The strong man walked to the stream, buried his whole head in the water, sobered up for a while, and took off the two Xuanhua axes and put them in the washing water to wash, and took great care of them.
Out of the crowd came a half-old man with a long beard and a thief's eyebrows, who was Hu Ye who went to Fengtou Mountain to collect debts that day, so the identity of this group of people is self-evident.
Hu Ye said flatteringly: "The big boss actually wants to go out in person, he really looks up to those fools who don't know what to do." In fact, as long as the big boss commands, I immediately take my brothers to run up the crested mountain, kill everyone, and then bring the little girl back to the big boss, why bother the big boss? ”
Fan Jiang had long been accustomed to his whiskers and horses, and he didn't pay attention to them at all.
A young man came out of the crowd, who seemed to have a very high status, and he said to Fan Jiang in a joking tone: "The big boss, after arresting that girl, the big boss will definitely be the first night." It's just that I thought, when the big boss gets tired of playing with that girl, can I give the brothers a try? After all, such a smart woman, I have never seen Liu in my life. ”
Fan Jiang was a little unhappy, and said in an unkind tone: "Wait until the day when that woman has a life to live until I get tired of playing." ”
The man surnamed Liu laughed and said, "Yes, the woman that the big boss likes, no one has lived for a week since the first night." But if I really have the life to live until that day, can the big boss reward me for one night? ”
Fan Jiang frowned angrily, obviously very dissatisfied, he already had crooked thoughts about this girl who had not even arrived at him.
Seeing that Fan Jiang was about to get angry, Hu Ye, who knew his temper best, hurriedly came out to play a round and scolded the man surnamed Liu, so as to dissipate Fan Jiang's anger.
The man surnamed Liu was so frightened by Fan Jiang's anger that he didn't dare to glance over there again, just bowed his head and was scolded. After all, there is a reference to the past, and anyone who goes against Fan Jiang's thoughts has been killed.
Xu Huaigu listened to it in horror, and when he figured out the purpose of this group of people, he was even more shocked and didn't dare to breathe.
They were preparing to attack Fengtou Mountain tonight, and Xu Huaigu was still worried about Feng'er's safety, and he was about to die in the tree.
He thought that after the group of people left, he hurriedly ran to Fengtou Mountain to report the news, and it should be too late. As a result, the people below didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack Fengtou Mountain, and they had been resting and tidying up, and they didn't mean to set off after half an hour.
Xu Huaigu was impatient on the tree, and finally saw Fan Jiang standing up, and ordered to the team behind: "Let's go, have enough rest, the brothers will serve all the crested mountains in one pot, and then the gold, silver, treasures and women will be available for everyone to choose, okay?" ”
There was a cheer from the people below.
So Fan Jiang prepared to leave.
Xu Huaigu saw that he was finally leaving, sighed, and prepared to report the news.
It was an inaudible sigh in the midst of this loud voice, which was actually heard by Fan Jiang of the Second Realm Monk!
He immediately turned his face, looked angry, and shouted at the branch where Xu Huaigu was standing, "Who is there?" ”
