Chapter 6: Youth

A scorching star fell from the dark sky. The man in black who was riding a horse and shuttling in the rain looked back, and the mountain had disappeared into the rain and mist, and only a faint silhouette remained. He put one hand to his chest and chanted in a low voice, "The soul of blazing blood is immortal through the ages." The index finger of the other hand was slightly lifted, and the fingertips condensed the light, swaying in the air, and the scattered colors of the stars flew all over the sky, but it was only for an instant. The man in black stared at the glimmer for a long time, until the light dissipated, and then rode his horse again, and the sound of hooves rattled through the trickle of water all over the ground, splashing countless waters.

In the dark palace, the blood-red carpet climbed the stairs, and behind the curtains that spread to the end, the eyes of the men behind the scenes were cold, and the people under the steps were shocked by the cold gaze and sweated coldly. The man stood up suddenly, he looked sideways at his henchman who was waiting on the side, and laughed hoarsely, "You also noticed it?" ”

"Yes, my lord, Muni is dead."

The man's smile was even brighter, the lower lip of his extremely prosperous face was as red as blood, and the dark light under his eyes flashed with anger, "He handed over the things to that Lu family girl." The code name Muni is very suitable for the old monk, give up his life......"

The capital of the Yin Kingdom.

The lord of the kingdom quietly listened to the advice of his subordinates with his hands on his jaw, and suddenly, the man on the throne got up, his straight and sturdy body was like a big knife about to be unsheathed, and he was so frightened that the courtier who was respectfully admonishing fell to the ground, thinking that he had said something wrong and angered the fierce emperor, only to hear the man shout in a low voice: "Get out." ”

The courtiers, who were eager to leave quickly, trotted out of the temple with their heads down.

The lord of the kingdom, who had dismissed the people, seemed to have lost his strength, and slumped down on his seat, and folded his big palms, so that he crushed the gold handrails alive and shattered them into ashes all over the ground. The lord's attendant didn't know what had angered the emperor from all over the world, and he quietly raised his eyes, and was surprised to find that the lord's sideburns had become white at some point.

In the hearts of all the courtiers, this emperor was a man of great power.

Even if there are powerful people, they can't escape the cycle of time after all.

The lord of the country suddenly drew his knife from the side, got up, and the horizontal knife crossed an arc in the air, stirring up the air current, and slashed again with the momentum of a storm, slashing down, and pulling away a long rainbow. It had been many years since the squire had seen this legendary man with the best swordsmanship draw his sword. This time, it was like returning to the time of his youth, although his sideburns were dyed frost white, his undulating body was still as strong as a tiger and leopard.

He suddenly retracted, and the frenzied sword qi stabbed countless blood marks on his own arm, and the attendant wanted to call the imperial doctor, but he stood still and couldn't take a step.

The lord of the kingdom stood upright, wrinkles piled up at the corners of his eyes, his eyes that had always been resolute lost their lustre, staring blankly into the distance, and the knife was also thrown to the ground by him. The attendant looked at the lord of the country in disbelief, and felt in a trance that at that moment, the omnipotent emperor had a very heavy sadness hidden in his eyes.

is so sad that even if he has the great power of slaying dragons and ascending to the sky, he can't get back what he asked for.

When Lu Gu woke up in the morning, the spring rain had stopped, and Lu Gu looked around the entire temple, and Wu Yu was no longer there. She didn't have time to grieve, so she silently picked up two swords and a booklet and walked outside the temple.

She rubbed her sore shoulders and let out a long exhale. She only brought a sword with her when she came, but when she went, she had to carry a hundred years of history and the blood of her ancestors.

The sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the mountain stream, and Lu Gu clenched his knife and turned back vigilantly.

It was the first time she had seen him in her life. It is also a picture that she will never forget in the years to come.

A young man dressed in black with a hat rode a white horse and stood quietly under an old tree. The rain blew all night, the petals trembled and stuck to the branches, and the crystal water droplets lined the petals more and more delicately, sliding back and forth along the lines, falling, and knocking out the sound of Qing Lingling on the young man's hat. The clear wind of the mountain stream blew, carrying a faint fragrance, blowing through the crumbling flowers on the branches, and falling on his shoulders.

The young man sat on the horse, did not pat the falling flowers on his shoulders, grabbed the reins of the horse with his bony hands, and looked at Lu Gu silently.

Through the hat, Lu Gu could only see his eyes clearly. With such a pair of eyes, when looking at Lu Gu, they were clearly only a few feet apart, but they seemed to be separated by mountains and rivers, and the wind was thousands of miles. The young man's eyes are not thick ink, but pure black, the sky is misty in the abyss, the rivers and mountains are thousands of miles, if a person falls, it is thousands of feet away.

"Who are you?"

"Xie Qingyan."

"Where did it come from?"

"I don't know."

"For what purpose?"

"I don't know."

"Where do you live? How old are you? Can there be a match? "I don't know. Ignorance. Ignorance. ”

The voice of the person who came was cold, with the husky characteristic of young people, and it was unusually beautiful, which reminded Lu Gu of the clear snow that melted into moonlight in Yuzhang City in winter. After a long time of distraction, she reacted to the young man's words, and it seemed that this person was unwilling to talk to her.

Lu Gu didn't look at him again, turned around and walked down the mountain.

As soon as she took a few steps, the sound of horses' hooves followed, frowning, Lu Gu sometimes turned left and sometimes right, and the sound of horses' hooves still followed closely behind.

"What are you doing with me?" Lu Gu raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were frivolous smiles, "Didn't you fall in love with the beauty of the young master?" ”

The young man didn't seem to understand the ridicule in her words, and whispered, "You are a woman." ”

Lu Gu was surprised, his smile dissipated, and his eyes looked a little cold, "You're not afraid that I will kill you?" Say, what is your purpose? ”

The boy spoke unhurriedly, "You won't." I'm just going to follow you. ”

Just follow me? Lu Gu choked, and suddenly felt that it was a little difficult to communicate with this person, "Why are you following me?" ”

"The monk saved me. I'm going to follow you. ”

Lu Gu scratched her head irritably, she couldn't understand what this person was talking about anymore, "Who is the monk?" ”

"I don't know." The young man said slowly, adding before Lu Gu was so angry that he was about to draw his sword, "The one who gave you the sword." ”

"You know Blazing Blood?" Lu Gu's irritable mood cooled suddenly, and she carried the blazing blood in her right hand behind her.

"I don't know. The monk died. He asked me to follow you and protect you. I don't know anything, the name was given by the monk, and the purpose of living is to follow you. ”

Lu Gu shook his head, the young man's eyes were heavy, staring at her without giving an inch, she couldn't find any side purpose in those eyes, only black and white.

The purpose of living is to follow her?

The wind in the valley blew again, blowing the young man's black clothes into a hunting dance, and the flowers on his shoulders flew in all directions. The horse waited a little impatiently, and moved impatiently, and the petals on the ground were crushed by the horse's hooves and sunk deep in the mud. Lu Gu was silent for a long time, and the young man was silent, looking at her silently a few feet away.

"Okay." Lu Gu smiled, and there was a real temperature in his clear eyes, "In the future, you can follow me." ”
