Chapter Twenty-Eight: Farewell to Peace
An hour later, Lintian, who had changed into clean clothes, came to the pavilion.
"So fast?" Ling'er said in surprise, "It's only been a short hour, how can you get out of bed and walk around so quickly?"
Lintian's face was still a little pale, there was not much blood, and it was obvious that he would not be able to make up for it after losing too much blood for a while and a half.
"Thank you. Lintian bowed to Ling Li, "Brother Ling, what kind of pill did you give me, what did you drink, I only barely fell asleep for a while, and after waking up, the meridians were connected, and the acupoints were coherent, and now I feel that the qi and blood in my body are rising rapidly, and I will soon be able to recover as before." ”
Ling Li helped up Lintian, his eyes were gloomy when he heard the words, and he sighed slowly, "The name of the pill is Shengxi Dan, which means that it is endless, and it is refined by my master. I have made you a wine, which has the effect of activating qi and blood. ”
"Shengxi Pill, last time you fought like a pig's head with him, why didn't you take this pill? I haven't seen much of the pill, take it out and show it to me." Ling'er said with a look of hope.
"It's gone. ”
"No, how is it possible? Don't tell me you're the one on you?"
Ling Li nodded and remembered: "Shizun originally only gave me three, I used two when I was practicing, and only this one remained. ”
"As for this wine, the gourd containing this wine saved my life in the Black Barrier Forest, and it used to contain the monkey wine brewed by the Houshan monkeys when I was cultivating. Later, I found that any wine you put in it can become a superb wine after 100 days, and it can also activate your qi and blood, which is a windfall. ”
"Yes, I'm sorry. Ling'er suddenly apologized.
When Lintian heard what Ling Li said, he was silent for a while, and after a while, he said to Ling Li, "Brother Ling, presumably the meaning of this Life Pill is especially important to you, me." There was an abrupt pause as he spoke, and he choked up a little.
Ling Li smiled, "No matter how good the elixir is, it can be used to save lives, otherwise it will lose its meaning." ”
"However, this is the only thing your master has left you. ”
"It's okay, the master is in my heart. Just a pill, save your life, but I earned it. ”
Lintian wiped the corners of his eyes, "Brother Ling, to be honest, I hated you very much at the beginning, because I was so gentle and considerate to Ling'er, Ling'er actually favored you, and later, I didn't expect that you were a cultivator, I bothered you so much, and I was even willing to teach me to cultivate, and today, I used the last pill on my body to save me." This kindness cannot be repaid by the sky, and if you can get my place in the future, you will not hesitate to go to the soup. ”
Ling Li was stunned for a moment, rubbed his nose, and said a little overwhelmed, "Don't be like this, I'm not used to you being hypocritical like this, I treat you as a brother, so naturally I can't ignore your danger." ”
"Brother, do you really think I'm a brother?"
"Of course. Ling Li shrugged his shoulders uncertainly.
Lin Tian said excitedly, "Okay! Okay! Okay! From today on, we will be brothers with different surnames! When the time comes, we will dominate the world together, hahaha!"
Looking at this somewhat excited Lintian, the black line at one end, "Calm down, you just broke through, the refining body has been hit hard, and now the meridians are still very weak, today first take a good rest, anyway, the formation has been broken, now this Lin'an City is more than ten miles away from the lack of aura, and the cultivation effect is very small, don't practice tomorrow, let's finally enjoy this Lin'an City." ”
"Finally?" the two asked in unison.
Ling shook his head, "Yes, next, I want to visit the famous mountains and rivers, humanities and landforms, it is always inappropriate to rest on my laurels, and the aura of this Lin'an City has also been absorbed and exhausted by you, and your cultivation here cannot be improved." ”
"In that case, let's rest today, and set off tomorrow, and we'll go to the ends of the world. Lin Tian said in a spirited manner.
Ling Tian pursed his lips.
There was no word all night, and the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the three of them got up early, dismissed their families, and a few people went out to stroll around Lin'an City with great interest.
In the early winter morning, the city is filled with smoke, not only the early morning mist, but also the steam of the delicious breakfast in the snack street wafting into the air, and all kinds of shouts can be faintly heard in the distance.
Early in the morning, there were early vendors who set up their stalls, and the steaming aroma wafted through the streets and alleys.
Ling Li sniffed vigorously and said intoxicatedly, "It's the taste, Li's chicken soup dumplings, this fragrance, my saliva is going to come down." Urgently, Ling Li pulled the two of them straight to the south of the city snack street.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Looking at Ling Li's gobbling up, the two of them couldn't cry or laugh a little.
"Why do you look at me like that?" Ling Li raised his head, the corners of his mouth bubbling with oil uncertainly.
"Is it that delicious?" Ling'er said with a little entangled look.
Ling Li was stunned for a moment, "Do you think it's not delicious?"
"I just think it looks like it's very tasty in your eyes. Lin Tian laughed dryly.
wiped the oil stains on the side of his mouth, touched his bulging belly sharply, hummed with a satisfied face, and then slowly put away his smiling eyes, his eyes were full of reminiscence, "One of you is the son of the city lord, and the other is the tiger girl of Jiangmen, who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, don't you know that I was a beggar for three years in this Lin'an City." ”
Pointing to a corner across the snack street, Ling Li sighed, "Back then, I clearly remember that at this hour of the day, I sat there in rags, because my stomach was hungry, but I had no money on me, so I had to smell the aroma wafting in the air, and then drink a little water, which was my ration early in the morning." ”
Ling Li's tone became calmer, slowly stood up, and walked forward, "Sometimes, even if I have a few copper coins on my body, I am reluctant to eat, and I usually leave it as if I am hungry and can't stand it before I go to buy a steamed bun, and I don't dare to swallow it, I have to eat a small bite, and then drink a big sip of water, so it is easy to resist hunger." Speaking of this, Ling Li smiled a little embarrassedly.
Ling'er silently held Ling Li's hand.
"At that time, I had a dream, when I grew up, I must eat the best food here in the morning, live in the best restaurant in Lin'ancheng, and marry the most beautiful wife. Ling Li grabbed Ling'er's hand tightly and said with a smile.
A group of three people walked around in Lin'an City without a purpose, and the two of them listened silently to Ling Li's words, Ling Li's face was calm, as if he was talking about another person.
Suddenly, the footsteps of the sky paused.
"Huh?" Ling'er saw Lintian stop, and was just about to ask.
Ling Li stopped Ling'er and said slowly, "We are waiting for you at the gate of the city." After speaking, he took Ling'er and walked away.
After the two of them left the city gate, Ling'er couldn't help but say, "Why didn't you pull me and didn't let me ask, what did you do in the sky?"
"Everyone is at the door, so I have to say hello. Ling Li said helplessly.
"Ah, just now, that's, that's the City Lord's Mansion. Ling'er's face turned red.
"Not so. "Ling Li didn't have a good airway.
At this moment, the morning sun rises, the sky has a cold glow, and the winter sun is also cold.
When the two of them waited at the city gate for a short time, Lintian's figure appeared, his figure was a little staggering, his eyes were slightly red, and there were clear palm prints on his face.
"Let's go. Lintian's voice was hoarse and decadent.
Seeing this, Ling Li patted his shoulder, "Look at the point." Since you have chosen this path, you will have no regrets until you die. ”
"No regrets until death. Lintian muttered, still keeping his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Well, now you will have to leave sooner or later, and embarking on the path of cultivation is destined to not belong here. ”
"Ling'er, do you have a place you want to go?" Ling Li saw that Ling'er was silent, so he asked, anyway, the world is big, where can he and the others go.
Ling'er stood silently sideways behind Ling Li, and said for a long time, "Wherever you go, I will go with you." ”
Hearing this, Ling Li smiled.
A carriage was purchased, and the three of them dressed in plain clothes, simply picked up and left.
A few miles out of the city gates, the sound of galloping horses' hooves and the sound of wooden wheels crushing the ground gradually stopped. Ling Li stopped the carriage and looked back at the city where he had lived for so many years, with no sadness or joy in his eyes. Lintian looked into the distance with his sharp gaze, and the city where he had lived for many years gradually became more and more distant from him.
The two looked at each other and sighed. After a while, Ling Lifu sat back at the side of the carriage, holding the reins, and with a shout, the horse neighed, and began to move forward slowly, until it gradually disappeared on the official road, leaving only two clear lines of ruts.
Not long after Ling Li and the others left, a tall and thin figure appeared at the door of the medicine hall, looking at the medicine hall with the door closed, his brows furrowed. The breeze blew, and the figure turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
At this moment, on the carriage, Ling Li was watching Ling'er hand his gourd to Lintian with a painful face, and Lintian took it and poured it violently.
"Slow down, slow down, ouch, you think it's water, such a big mouthful. Ling Li's heart was like a knife, "I have this little stock of this wine, you drink slowly, drink in small sips." ”
"You're stingy, I'm in a bad mood, and you're like this after a few sips of wine. Lintian's eyes were white, and he took a big bite of a gourd.
"You!" Ling Li said helplessly.
"Poof. Ling'er couldn't help but smile when she looked at Ling Li's dejected appearance.
The sorrow of everyone's parting also seemed to be diluted in the laughter.
