Chapter Forty-Nine: Falling Off the Cliff and Passing Away in the Desert (1)
Time is like water, and January flies by in a snap of a finger.
Murong Yunyao returned to Bianliang and walked into this city that was both familiar and unfamiliar again, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. I don't know if she is used to walking all the way, or if she is still missing Yun Zixiao in her heart, she did not return to Nanqing Palace directly, but walked to Bianhe Street with a ghost.
At this time, it was still early, and the flow of people on Bianhe Street was bustling, and there was a great feeling of rubbing shoulders. Murong Yunyao lowered her head and walked slowly along the flow of people, thinking in her heart.
Unconsciously, she was pushed by the flow of people to an extremely luxurious jewelry store, she had no intention of staying, but her eyes were attracted by the hem of a white robe, and she couldn't help but look at the owner of this robe.
Murong Yunyao originally thought that the owner of the robe must be a stranger, but what she looked up saw was Yun Zixiao's cold and elegant face. Reuniting with him in this situation, Murong Yunyao was instantly stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Yun Zixiao also saw Murong Yunyao in the crowd at this time, he didn't step forward as quickly as before, but subconsciously turned his head, as if he was afraid of being discovered by her. Murong Yunyao only reacted when she saw this, and she walked in front of Yun Zixiao in a few steps, and said gently: "Brother Yun, why are you here?" Are you choosing jewelry for me? ”
"Sister...... Sister, you ......" Yun Zixiao was still able to answer fluently above the court in the past, but now he stammered. He tried his best to calm down before he said, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a few months, where have you been?" ”
Murong Yunyao pointed to the southwest direction and said: "After separating from you that night, I met a little girl named Ah Nian, she asked me to help her find her sister, I thought this matter was very simple, so I agreed." But unexpectedly, he went to Yongzhou with the disciples of the Chaos Sect all the way, and went to Dali for some other things. Although this trip was very dangerous, fortunately, there were masters to help him, so he turned the danger into a disaster and returned safely. ”
Yun Zixiao didn't seem to listen to what she was saying at all, just stared at the sword behind her back, and he didn't know whether it was excitement or resentment in his eyes. Murong Yunyao had never seen him look like this, and he was taken aback in his heart.
Murong Yunyao shook his hand in front of Yun Zixiao's eyes, "Brother Yun, what are you looking at?" Then he looked at the sword behind his back with Yun Zixiao's gaze, and said with a smile: "This sword was given to me by that master of the world, it is not only beautiful but also very sharp!" ”
Yun Zixiao looked at this sword hatefully, and said for a long time, "Murong Yanyun is still alive?" Where is he now? His voice was not only very cold, but also hidden endless anger and murderous intent, which was terrifying to the ears.
Murong Yunyao's face changed slightly, obviously frightened by him, "Brother Yun, do you mean that the old man who gave me the sword is Murong Yanyun, the emperor of the Yan Kingdom in the past?" ”
Yun Zixiao's eyes turned blood-red, and his tone was almost crazy, "I will never admit my mistake, this is the sky-chasing sword that once helped him stand out from the world!" Tell me quickly, what does the old man you said look like, and where is he now! ”
Murong Yunyao recalled the appearance of the four innocent people, and repeated it in as much detail as possible, Yun Zixiao's expression became more and more cold the more he listened, and finally said angrily: "That's right, it's him!" I didn't expect him to be alive! It was because of him that my father was forced to fall off the cliff, and then I heard that he was dead, and I only said that this revenge can never be avenged, but I didn't expect that God had eyes, and he has survived to this day. I swear that one day I will avenge my father! ”
Yun Zixiao said and held the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, and the bone joints turned white in an instant, making a "gurgling" sound. Seeing this, Murong Yunyao hurriedly said: "Brother Yun, that old man is a good person, I think there must be some misunderstanding in this." ”
"Good guys?" Yun Zixiao nodded and sneered: "Murong Yanyun is indeed a good person, but he is a rotten good person, an out-and-out faint king!" At that time, Zhao Pu used a plan to cause a plague in Liaodong, and drove the displaced people in the Song Dynasty to Liaodong with starvation. At this time, there was nothing wrong with opening the city for disaster relief, but Murong Yanyun was kind to a woman, regardless of the tight treasury, and opened the warehouse to release grain for three years. He personally turned the originally rich Liaodong into extremely barren, but he asked my father to advise him and restore the national strength. My father had to temporarily borrow gold and silver from the tomb of Murong Ren, the Duke of Liaodong during the Wuhu period, in order to quickly fill the treasury and prevent the Song army from invading on a large scale. But Murong Yanyun said that this was ill-gotten gains, and used this as an excuse to reprimand my father, and even drove him out of the court in anger. If it weren't for this, the world at this time would already be the world of Dayan, and my father would have already made the king a prime minister, so how could he go to Huangquan! ”
Yun Zixiao couldn't take care of it anymore under the excitement, and poured out all his anger. Passers-by only thought he was crazy, and they were all far away, only Murong Yunyao felt sorry for him, and said softly: "Brother Yun, these things have passed. Life should be lived for oneself, not for hatred, and who can say the reason for this? ”
"Maybe......" Yun Zixiao sighed, his expression became cold again, he took Murong Yunyao's hand and said, "Sister, you just came back, I shouldn't have told you this!" Not far from here, there is a purple fairy mountain, the peach blossoms on the mountain have bloomed, do you want to go to enjoy the flowers together? ”
Murong Yunyao nodded, "Okay, but every time I come out with my brother, I'm very afraid, I'm afraid that we will break up unhappily, and I'm afraid that you will return to the border alone halfway." Do you know? Every time I encounter danger, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will never see you again after I die! ”
Yun Zixiao smiled slightly, and emotionally took Murong Yunyao into his arms, "I know, I have already taken leave with Lord Zhizhou, and I will definitely accompany my sister to have a good time this time." ”
Murong Yunyao smiled and rested her head on his shoulder, her hand naturally resting on his chest, but she felt a hard ring on his chest, and her intuition told her that it was a jade bracelet worn by a woman. She felt a little surprised for a moment, but then remembered his expression when she first saw Yun Zixiao, and his expression froze instantly.
"Brother Yun, did you buy the thing in your arms for me?" Murong Yunyao asked, but Yun Zixiao's whole body trembled slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "No, a friend asked me to buy this jade bracelet for him." If you like it, I'll buy you another one. ”
Murong Yunyao frowned slightly, and asked, "Is this friend a man or a woman?" But neither men nor women should be entrusted with such things! You don't know any other girl, do you? ”
Yun Zixiao shook his head, looked at Murong Yunyao, and said sincerely: "Sister, although our lamp was not put on the Shangyuan Festival, that promise has been remembered, and there is no room for others in this life except for you." ”
Murong Yunyao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and giggled. Yun Zixiao also smiled, took her hand, and walked straight out of the city.
The next day, the sun was shining and the spring breeze was warm.
Zixian Mountain stretches endlessly, and the mountains are full of blooming peach blossoms, like pieces of magnificent and dreamy auspicious clouds. In front of the mountain, a tributary of the Yellow River meanders by, and the river water is very clear, making the mountain scenery more and more dreamlike.
Murong Yunyao and Yun Zixiao walked slowly in the forest hand in hand, but neither of them said a word, they just walked forward silently and purposelessly. Suddenly, Murong Yunyao found that in the grass in front of him, there was a little rabbit as white as snow happily grazing.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, and she lightened her steps and walked cautiously. I don't know if it's because her steps are too light, or if this little rabbit is naturally bold, and she doesn't have the slightest intention of escaping. Seeing this, Murong Yunyao's smile became brighter and brighter, and she slowly squatted down and hugged the little rabbit with both hands.
At the same time, behind the rocks half a foot away, there was a huge bobcat hidden. Its eyes were full of greed, watching the little rabbit's every move, and was about to find an opportunity to bully itself and make this cute little rabbit its own meal, but it was preempted by Murong Yunyao.
Seeing this, the lynx let out a low roar, its front paws on the ground and charged slightly, and then rushed towards Murong Yunyao like a gust of wind. It came quickly and violently, and when it got closer, it opened its mouth wide, waved its sharp claws, and pounced on Murong Yunyao. Its teeth and claws glowed with a terrifying cold glow in the sunlight, and ordinary people would have been frightened and frightened.
Murong Yunyao was slightly stunned, subconsciously hugged the little rabbit in his arms, kicked straight at the sturdy bobcat, and then shouted softly: "Bad bobcat, such a cute rabbit, you can't bear to eat it!" Get out of the way for this girl! ”
As she spoke, the lynx was kicked out by her in an instant, and its body fell heavily to the ground, letting out a terrible, angry roar. If it weren't for her mercy at her feet, I am afraid that the lynx would have been kicked by her to broken bones.
Yun Zixiao lowered his head and thought about his thoughts, ignoring Murong Yunyao, until the roar of the bobcat came into his ears, and he pulled his thoughts back. Seeing that this lynx was quite fast, he hurriedly pulled out the Flowing Cloud Sword in his hand and floated to block Murong Yunyao behind.
He held the long sword upside down, always on guard against the lynx's counterattack, and asked with concern: "Sister, you didn't hurt anything, did you?" ”
Murong Yunyao shook his head, "Brother Yun, I'm fine. This bobcat is so hateful, you get rid of it quickly, don't let it hurt the little bunny. ”
Yun Zixiao nodded, and the Liuyun Sword suddenly became murderous, just waiting for a sword to kill the lynx. The bobcat seemed to see that the two were not easy to provoke, and only let out a low roar, threw a resentful look at them, and turned away.
Murong Yunyao saw that the lynx had fled, and the expression on his face returned to indifference, and he was silent again. She hugged the pure and lovely little rabbit in her arms and walked straight forward, unwilling to say more to Yun Zixiao. Yun Zixiao's expression also became the same as Fang Cai, bowing his head and thinking about his thoughts, and slowly moving forward with Murong Yunyao.
Not far ahead, there is a peach forest. The peach blossoms on the trees are in full bloom, and sometimes a breeze blows, and the petals fall with the wind, forming a beautiful shower of flowers. The petals fell between Murong Yunyao's hair, and Yun Zixiao wanted to help her take the flowers off, but her eyes were attracted by the sky-chasing sword behind her, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
After a long time, he sighed intentionally or unintentionally, "Alas, I have a friend who has been looking for a satisfactory sword, but he has been looking for many years without finding it, not everyone is as lucky as his sister!" ”
Murong Yunyao said: "This friend and the person who asked you to buy the jade bracelet, but the same person?" ”
Yun Zixiao nodded, "Yes, it's indeed the same person." ”
Murong Yunyao inexplicably felt that Yun Zixiao suddenly became a little strange in her heart, he didn't completely open his heart to himself, as if he had a lot of things to hide from him. She walked towards the highest Temple of Heaven Peak with some displeasure, Yun Zixiao understood what she was thinking, but she didn't explain a word, just silently followed her, not allowing her to leave her sight for a moment.
It took a long time for the two to finally reach the top.
Murong Yunyao slowly walked to the cliff by the mountain peak with the little rabbit in her arms, raised her eyes and looked into the distance, only to feel a burst of relaxation, and Fang Cai's emotions also disappeared. Seeing this, Yun Zixiao walked over, stood beside her, stretched out his hand to help her brush the petals in her hair, pointed to the clear Yellow River in the distance, and said, "Sister, look there......"
Murong Yunyao looked over as she said, but she didn't see anything interesting. She was about to turn her head and ask Yun Zixiao what was in the water, but suddenly she tripped over something under her feet, and someone seemed to have pushed her behind, and she suddenly stumbled and fell off the cliff.
"Brother Yun, help!" Murong Yunyao waved her hand upwards frantically, screaming loudly in her mouth. Seeing this, Yun Zixiao hurriedly bent down, stretched out his hand and grabbed it hard, trying to grab Murong Yunyao. But the speed at which Murong Yunyao fell was too fast, and when he was about to touch Murong Yunyao, it was the sword behind her that he was holding in his hand. The sword was withdrawn from Murong Yunyao's body in an instant, but the person fell off the cliff.
Murong Yunyao was stunned at this moment! Her mind went blank, and she felt as if her heart had been broken, and she closed her eyes with a wry smile, preferring never to open them again, never to witness this world full of hypocrisy and indifference.
